7 * mpdm_adel() and mpdm_hdel() no longer return the deleted element.
8 * mpdm_aset() and mpdm_hset() no longer return the old element.
9 * mpdm_sort() sorts the array instead of returning a new one.
10 * New functions mpdm_strcat_sn(), mpdm_pokewsn(),
11 mpdm_join_s(), mpdm_split_s(), mpdm_cmp_s(), mpdm_strcat_s().
12 * Some refactoring to diminish memory usage (no more `prev'
13 pointers in the value list, less residual values).
14 * mpdm_regex() always return an array in global searches (maybe
15 an empty one) and if searching for an array of regexes (maybe
21 * mpdm_ival() now accepts numbers prefixed by `0b' as binary
23 * Similarly, mpdm_sprintf() now accepts the `%b' code to
24 print a value as a binary number.
25 * Fixed mpdm_sset() when the previous-to-last value to be
26 assigned is executable (this is bug 1114).
27 * New function mpdm_iterator().
32 * New function mpdm_sscanf().
33 * Fixed mpdm_encoding() to allow again empty strings as its
34 argument to fall back to default encoding.
35 * Improved file encoding autodetection by looking at the
36 UTF BOM marks. The detected encoding is stored in the
37 `DETECTED_ENCODING' root key.
42 * Fixed a bug when processing backslashes in the substitution
43 string in sregex(), that made them dissappear if they were
44 not escaping an ampersand.
45 * Fixed a bug in win32 globbing.
46 * The dump_1() function is now pluggable.
47 * New function mpdm_chdir().
52 * The environment is stored in a hash called ENV in mpdm_root().
53 * Under win32, the LANG environment variable is hand-built if
55 * If the third argument to sregex() is a hash, the values can
56 now also be executable ones.
57 * New internal flag for values to mark them as deleted.
62 * The mpdm_regex() function now accepts a new flag, `g', to match
63 globally; in this case, an array of matches are returned instead
65 * The mpdm_stat() function now returns a 14 element array, with a
66 newly #13 argument containing the canonicalized file name, if
67 the underlying system supports it.
68 * A bunch of embedded charset encoders have been implemented for
69 iso8859-1, utf-16 and utf-32 with or without BOM autodetection.
74 * API Changes; const has been added wherever possible.
79 * The hashing function has changed to a less accurate but faster one.
80 * There is a new, adaptive way of sweeping: if default_sweep if set
81 to a negative value (different from -1), it's used as a divisor
82 of the total count of values; this will be the number of values
83 that will be swept on each call to mpdm_sweep(0). This way, the
84 number of swept values depend on the total count.
85 * New functions mpdm_set_ival() and mpdm_set_rval().
86 * New function mpdm_get_filehandle().
91 * Components of a compact symbol can be executable, apart from
93 * mpdm_cmp() is optimized to return 0 when comparing the same value.
98 * mpdm_cmp() now correctly compares NULL and NULL as equal.
99 * %c in mpdm_sprintf() now works with Unicode (wchar_t) characters.
100 * The substitution string in mpdm_sregex() now can include the
101 special character & to select the matched string. To include a
102 literal &, escape it with \.
