Changes since 2.09:
===================
Version 2.12
1. Add regression tests for the auto-require of STORABLE_thaw
2. Add auto-require of modules to restore overloading (and tests)
3. Change to no context (should give speedup with ithreads)
Version 2.11
1. Storing restricted hashes in canonical order would SEGV. Fixed.
2. It was impossible to retrieve references to PL_sv_no and and
PL_sv_undef from STORABLE_thaw hooks.
3. restrict.t was failing on 5.8.0, due to 5.8.0's unique
implementation of restricted hashes using PL_sv_undef
4. These changes allow a space optimisation for restricted hashes.
Version 2.10
1. Thread safety: Storable::CLONE/init_perlinterp() now create
a new Perl context for each new ithread.
(From Stas Bekman and Jan Dubois.)
2. Fix a tag count mismatch with $Storable::Deparse that caused
all back-references after a stored sub to be off-by-N (where
N was the number of code references in between).
(From Sam Vilain.)
3. Prevent CODE references from turning into SCALAR references.
(From Slaven Rezic.)
Changes since version 2.04:

Version 2.09
Fix minor problems with the CPAN release
1: Make Storable.xs work on 5.8.2 and later (already in the core)
2: Ship the linux hints file
3: Ship Test::More for the benefit of Perls pre 5.6.2
4: Correct Makefile.PL to only install in core for 5.8.0 and later

Version 2.08
This release works around a 5.8.0 bug which caused hashes to not
be marked as having key flags even though an HEK had HEK_WASUTF8
set. (Note that the only reasonable solution is to silently drop
the flag from the affected key.)
Users of RT 3 who were seeing assertion failures should upgrade.
(Perl 5.8.1 will have the bug fixed.)

Version 2.07
Minor bugfixes (self-tied objects are now correctly stored, as
are the results of additions larger than INT_MAX).
Mon Oct 7 21:56:38 BST 2002 Nicholas Clark <nick@ccl4.org>
Version 2.06
Remove qr// from t/downgrade.t so that it will run on 5.004
Mention $File::Spec::VERSION a second time in t/forgive.t so that it
runs without warnings in 5.004 (this may be a 5.00405 bug I'm working
round)
Fix t/integer.t initialisation to actually generate 64 bits of 9c
Fix comparison tests to use eval to get around 64 bit IV conversion
issues on 5.6.x, following my t/integer.t ^ precedence bug found by
Rafael Garcia-Suarez
Alter t/malice.t to work with Test/More.pm in t/, and skip individual
subtests that use $Config{ptrsize}, so that the rest of the test can
now be run with 5.004
Change t/malice.t and the error message in check_magic in Storable.xs
from "Pointer integer size" to "Pointer size"
Remove prerequisite of Test::More from Makefile.PL
Ship Test::Builder, Test::Simple and Test::More in t

Version 2.05
Adds support for CODE references from Slaven Rezic
<slaven.rezic@berlin.de>.
* Remove qr// from t/downgrade.t
* Mention $File::Spec::VERSION a second time in t/forgive.t
* Fix t/integer.t initialisation
* Fix comparison tests to use eval to get around 64 bit IV conversion issues
* Alter t/malice.t to work with Test/More.pm in t/
* Change t/malice.t and the error message in check_magic
* Adds support for CODE references
This is the LAST maintenance release of the Storable module.
Indeed, Storable is now part of perl 5.8, and will be maintained
as part of Perl. The CPAN module will remain available there
for people running pre-5.8 perls.
Avoid requiring Fcntl upfront, useful to embedded runtimes.
Use an eval {} for testing, instead of making Storable.pm
simply fail its compilation in the BEGIN block.
store_fd() will now correctly autoflush file if needed.
The automatic truncation in gensolpkg doesn't work for packages which
have the same package name for the first 5-6 chars.
e.g. amanda-server and amanda-client would be named amanda and amanda.
Now, we add a SVR4_PKGNAME and use amacl for amanda-client and amase for
amanda-server.
All svr4 packages also have a vendor tag, so we have to reserve some chars
for this tag, which is normaly 3 or 4 chars. Thats why we can only use 6
or 5 chars for SVR4_PKGNAME. I used 5 for all the packages, to give the
vendor tag enough room.
All p5-* packages and a few other packages have now a SVR4_PKGNAME.
Fixed truncation race with lock_retrieve() in lock_store().
The file has to be truncated only once the exclusive lock is held.
Removed spurious debugging messages in .xs file.
Fixed memory corruption on croaks during thaw().
Made code compile cleanly with -Wall.
Changed tagnum and classnum from I32 to IV in context.
Changes:
Fixed incorrect error message.
Now bless objects ASAP at retrieve time, which should fix two bugs.
Add support for blessed ref to tied structures (-> binary format change).
More tests.
