Changes for version 1.3.3 - 2024-08-25

  • Typos fixed and additions made to POD.
  • Tests no longer jump through hoops to open the SQLite test database in read-only mode. I only tried that to see if it would have a positive effect on tests segfaulting. I have since simplified testing a great deal since the rewrites, so pushing out this release to see if it mops-up a couple of red boxes on CPANTs. ### 1.3.2 2024-08-25 16:45
  • Fixed typos.
  • General improvements and optimisations.
  • Strawberry Perl 5.10.1.1 on MSWin32-x86-multi-thread can’t seem to import DBD::SQLite::Constants ‘:file_open’ because is isn’t exported. Hopefully, a conditionally workaround solves the issue.
  • Strawberry Perl 5.14.4.1 on MSWin32-x86-multi-thread gives /Can’t locate object method “e” via package “warnings”/ error. Added “use diagnostics” pragma to all test code in an attempt to coax more useful information out.
  • Fixed broken iterator “buffer_size” code - manually set sizes weren’t persistent. ### 1.3.1 2024-08-24 14:10
  • General code improvements.
  • Removed unnecessary imports.
  • Removed call to no longer extant iterator method from &DBIx::Squirrel::it::DESTROY.
  • Added the “count_all” method back into the iterator class, as well as ensuring that “count” does not affect a future call to “next”.
  • Addressed build failures revealed by the CPAN Testers Matrix:
    • Rewrote &DBIx::Squirrel::util::part_args - failed on Perl versions <= 5.18.4;
    • Back to using “strict” and “warnings” - Modern::Perl having some issues with a bundle “all” in Perl versions <= 5.14.4.
    • Perls versions <= 5.13 do not support ${^GLOBAL_PHASE}, so used Devel::GlobalDestruction to work around the issue.
    • Testing under Perls <= 5.13 seems to require “done_testing()” for each sub-test, as well as at the end of the test script.
    • Testing under Perls <= 5.11 does not support sub-test. I can live without them, so have refactored the tests not to use them. Tests pass under Perl 5.10!
  • The seemingly bottomless pit of joy that is documentation updates. I’m pushing this out, knowing that there are gaps in the POD that must be filled. I want to get the remaining red issues on the CPANTS matrix to go green, hence the expedited release. POD gaps will be filled in future point releases. ### 1.3.0 2024-08-23 21:00
  • Ground-up rewrite of iterators and result-set code.
  • Ground-up rewrite and simplification of test code.
  • More documentation added. This stuff is never finished, and I’ll be adding more in future!
  • A lot of refactoring and tidying up completed. ### 1.2.11 2024-08-18 13:15
  • Fixed typos.
  • Did some internal refactoring.
  • Updated t/lib/T/Constants.pm to ensure that SQLite database connections are created with both sqlite_see_if_its_a_number => !!1 and sqlite_open_flags => SQLITE_OPEN_READONLY flags and re-ran tests successfully on macOS under Perl 5.28.1. Action was prompted by CPAN Tester report confirming Wstat 139 SEGFAULT on BSD under Perl 5.28.1; I have no way to replicate this build environment exactly, so I’m hoping this fixes the issue. We shall see. Thanks to Chris Williams (BINGOS) for the original report. ### 1.2.10 2024-08-17 17:35
  • Fixed minor typos in POD.
  • Did some internal refactoring.
  • Updated dist.ini: no longer using Dist::Zilla Readme plugin to produce README.
  • Updated st.pm: bind_param method no longer drops the third argument (bind attributes) before handing-off to &DBI::st::bind_value.
  • No longer quoting hash keys matching /^+$/. ### 1.2.9 2024-08-17 22:50
  • Reorganised the examples folder and renamed an example script.
  • Added some canned transforms.
  • Added new example script (examples/transformations/02.pl).
  • Added DBD::SQLite to test dependencies, with thanks to Slaven Rezić (SREZIC) for the alert. ### 1.2.8 2024-08-16 18:45
  • Fixed some documentation issues.
  • Removed a redundant line from sample script (examples/transformations_1.pl). ### 1.2.7 2024-08-16 18:00
  • First version, released on an unsuspecting world.
