The London Perl and Raku Workshop takes place on 26th Oct 2024. If your company depends on Perl, please consider sponsoring and/or attending.

Changes for version 2.00_03 - 2013-12-29

  • FREEZE/THAW hooks for object serialization.
  • Test improvements (allowing for partial parallel run)
  • Minor optimizations.

Changes for version 2.00_02 - 2013-10-28

  • Sereal::Encoder now requires Sereal::Decoder for better testing.
  • Fix Test::Warn dependency problem of 2.00_01.

Changes for version 2.00_01 - 2013-10-01

  • NEW PROTOCOL VERSION: V2
  • User-data in header functionality: You may embed arbitrary Sereal-serializable data in a document header. The document header isn't compressed, so this is ideal for retrieving small chunks of meta-data (eg. routing information) without having to deserialize the entire document.
  • Relocatable Sereal document bodies
  • Encoder never emits non-incremental Snappy encoding for V2
  • Offsets now 1-based in relocatable format, not 0
  • Fixed VERY obscure (and rare) memory leak.
  • Improved error messages
  • Remove warning about Sereal not being production-grade (because it IS).
  • Detect when the Snappy compression was net negative in size and back out
  • C89/Windows fixes (bulk88)
  • 5.18 compat: Skip test failing due to hash-randomization (Zefram)
