8 - New function mpdm_tr(), to transliterate strings.
10 - The pclose() win32 implementation returns the process exit
17 - Numeric values created with MPDM_I() and MPDM_R() do not have
18 their string representation created until needed by a call to
19 mpdm_string() (which can never happen).
21 - New function mpdm_sget_i().
22 - New macros MPDM_AA() and MPDM_AS(), for local stack-allocated
23 (i.e. using alloca()) arrays and strings, meant to be used
24 for optimized, short-lived temporary values.
29 - The system has been refactored to be a pure reference counting
30 system, so sweeping / garbage collection no longer exists.
31 - Executable values and functions now include a new argument to
32 hold a context (used to implement local symbol tables and such).
33 - mpdm_adel() and mpdm_hdel() no longer return the deleted element.
34 - mpdm_aset() and mpdm_hset() no longer return the old element.
35 - mpdm_sort() sorts the array instead of returning a new one.
36 - New functions mpdm_strcat_sn(), mpdm_pokewsn(),
37 mpdm_join_s(), mpdm_split_s(), mpdm_cmp_s(), mpdm_strcat_s().
38 - Some refactoring to diminish memory usage (no more `prev'
39 pointers in the value list, less residual values).
40 - mpdm_regex() always return an array in global searches (maybe
41 an empty one) and if searching for an array of regexes (maybe
43 - The following functions had had their arguments swapped:
44 - mpdm_split() and mpdm_split_s().
45 - mpdm_join() and mpdm_join_s().
53 * mpdm_ival() now accepts numbers prefixed by `0b' as binary
55 * Similarly, mpdm_sprintf() now accepts the `%b' code to
56 print a value as a binary number.
57 * Fixed mpdm_sset() when the previous-to-last value to be
58 assigned is executable (this is bug 1114).
59 * New function mpdm_iterator().
64 * New function mpdm_sscanf().
65 * Fixed mpdm_encoding() to allow again empty strings as its
66 argument to fall back to default encoding.
67 * Improved file encoding autodetection by looking at the
68 UTF BOM marks. The detected encoding is stored in the
69 `DETECTED_ENCODING' root key.
74 * Fixed a bug when processing backslashes in the substitution
75 string in sregex(), that made them dissappear if they were
76 not escaping an ampersand.
77 * Fixed a bug in win32 globbing.
78 * The dump_1() function is now pluggable.
79 * New function mpdm_chdir().
84 * The environment is stored in a hash called ENV in mpdm_root().
85 * Under win32, the LANG environment variable is hand-built if
87 * If the third argument to sregex() is a hash, the values can
88 now also be executable ones.
89 * New internal flag for values to mark them as deleted.
94 * The mpdm_regex() function now accepts a new flag, `g', to match
95 globally; in this case, an array of matches are returned instead
97 * The mpdm_stat() function now returns a 14 element array, with a
98 newly #13 argument containing the canonicalized file name, if
99 the underlying system supports it.
100 * A bunch of embedded charset encoders have been implemented for
101 iso8859-1, utf-16 and utf-32 with or without BOM autodetection.
106 * API Changes; const has been added wherever possible.
111 * The hashing function has changed to a less accurate but faster one.
112 * There is a new, adaptive way of sweeping: if default_sweep if set
113 to a negative value (different from -1), it's used as a divisor
114 of the total count of values; this will be the number of values
115 that will be swept on each call to mpdm_sweep(0). This way, the
116 number of swept values depend on the total count.
117 * New functions mpdm_set_ival() and mpdm_set_rval().
118 * New function mpdm_get_filehandle().
123 * Components of a compact symbol can be executable, apart from
125 * mpdm_cmp() is optimized to return 0 when comparing the same value.
130 * mpdm_cmp() now correctly compares NULL and NULL as equal.
131 * %c in mpdm_sprintf() now works with Unicode (wchar_t) characters.
132 * The substitution string in mpdm_sregex() now can include the
133 special character & to select the matched string. To include a
134 literal &, escape it with \.
