OSSP uuid - Universally Unique Identifier
CHANGELOG
This is a list of all changes to OSSP uuid.
For a more brief summary please have a look at the NEWS file.
Changes between 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 (21-Feb-2008 to 04-Jul-2008)
o Adjust "devtool.func" for latest GNU Libtool compatibility.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Improve PRNG under Win32.
[Hiroshi Saito]
o Consistently annotate "RFC-XXXX" with "IETF" to clearly
indicate from which standards body this comes from.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Resolve namespace conflicts of recently introduced time_xxx()
functions by using a propoer "uuid_" prefix.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Remove unused "struct timezone" from time_gettimeofday() in
order to simplify portability.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Add support for POSIX clock_gettime(3) in case the Unix/POSIX
gettimeofday(3) is not available.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Upgrade build environment to GNU autoconf 2.62.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Upgrade build environment to GNU libtool 2.2.4.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
Changes between 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 (19-May-2007 to 21-Feb-2008)
o Port to Win32 API.
[Hiroshi Saito, Wu Yongwei, Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Adjust copyright messages for new year 2008.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Fix __VA_COPY_USE_{CSP,CPP} fallback macros for va_copy.
[Mark A. Lindner <mark.a.lindner@gmail.com>]
o PostgreSQL bindings: use SET_VARSIZE() instead
of assigning to bytea->v_len under PostgreSQL >= 8.3
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Upgrade build environment to GNU libtool 1.5.26
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
Changes between 1.5.1 and 1.6.0 (31-Jul-2006 to 19-May-2007)
o Expand unused "datarootdir" in Makefile.in and uuid-config.in to
make newer GNU autoconf versions happy.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Upgrade build environment to GNU shtool 2.0.7
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Make GNU autoconf procedure of PHP binding more robust by using
-Wl,-Bsymbolic only on platforms where uuid_create(3) actually
exists and where -Wl,-Bsymbolic is really accepted by the tool
chain. This especially unbreaks MacOS X.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Fix "uuid_export" function in PHP bindings under
UUID_FMT_SIV, UUID_FMT_STR and UUID_FMT_TXT where the
NUL-termination character should be not passed back to PHP.
[Neil Caunt <retardis@gmail.com>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Adjust copyright messages for new year 2007.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Upgrade build environment to GNU autoconf 2.61
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Disable PostgreSQL "(CSTRING AS uuid)" and "(uuid AS CSTRING)"
CASTS as PostgreSQL 8.2 and higher explicitly disallow this.
[David Wheeler <david@kineticode.com>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Fix PostgreSQL bindings by mapping the correct DSO symbol
to the functions "uuid_send" and "uuid_recv".
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Silence PostgreSQL processing messages
[David Wheeler <david@kineticode.com>]
o Support MacOS X (aka Darwin) in PostgreSQL bindings by passing
a "-bundle_loader" option to the linker in order to resolve the
"undefined symbols" problem.
[David Wheeler <david@kineticode.com>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Pass the correct type to PostgreSQL's errmsg().
[David Wheeler <david@kineticode.com>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Added PostgreSQL 8.2 PG_MODULE_MAGIC support.
[David Wheeler <david@kineticode.com>]
o Fix the Data::UUID::to_b64string() function of the Perl backward
compatibility API: an empty string was not supplied as the EOL
marker to MIME::Base64::encode_base64() and hence the returned
string ended with a newline character (which in turn breaks many
applications using Data::UUID).
[Piotr Roszatycki <dexter@debian.org>]
o Change type of "data_ptr" argument in uuid_export() API signature
from "void **" to "void *" as there is unfortunately no
"generic pointer to pointer type" in ISO C (see also
http://c-faq.com/ptrs/genericpp.html) and "void **" is just a
"pointer to a 'void *'".
The "void **" especially had the nasty side-effect that it breaks
strict pointer aliasing rules of ISO C and hence would require
fiddling with temporary variables on all uuid_export() calls if
one would be 100% correct and avoid aliasing related compiler
warnings. Instead, as uuid_export() internally has to cast the
"data_ptr" to the particular expected type anyway, it is better
to have "data_ptr" just be a really generic "void *" in the API
signature.
Keep in mind that although this is an API change, it doesn't cause
any incompatibilities as the function still expects the same
"pointer to a pointer of a particular type". This expected pointer
is just now passed the more correct although less intuitive way.
[Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@xemacs.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Optional DMALLOC based memory debugging support.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Consistently include "uuid_ac.h" in all source files to have GNU
autoconf results and standard system defines available everywhere.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
Changes between 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 (28-Jul-2006 to 31-Jul-2006)
o Use "MODULE_PATHNAME" instead of "@MODULE_PATHNAME@" in
uuid.sql.in to be more aligned to the PostgreSQL styles.
[Simon "janus" Dassow <janus@errornet.de>]
o Use the available variables $(LIB_NAME), $(DCE_NAME) and
$(CXX_NAME) more consistently in Makefile.in to allow packagers to
override the library name with less patching.
[Piotr Roszatycki <dexter@debian.org>]
o Fix the "make distclean" target of php/Makefile.local
to make sure the ".deps" file is not left over.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Fix the tarball rolling procedure to make sure we
do not distribute binary files again. This now especially uses
a MANIFEST file which explicitly lists all files which form the
distribution tarball. We compare the tarball and the MANIFEST file
for differences in the "devtool dist" now.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
Changes between 1.4.2 and 1.5.0 (13-Mar-2006 to 28-Jul-2006)
o Fixed potential memory leak in uuid_create() as spotted by SPLINT.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Cleanup source code according to complains by SPLINT.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Cleanup internal uuid_mac.h header.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]

o Add Hash indexing support UUID data type of PostgreSQL bindings.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Add comparison operators and B-Tree indexing support UUID data
type of PostgreSQL bindings.
[Roman Neuhauser <neuhauser@sigpipe.cz>]
o Fix PHP bindings: the wrong argument to uuid_create()
was forced to a reference
[Roman Neuhauser <neuhauser@sigpipe.cz>]
o Add full support for Single Integer Value (SIV) UUID representation
for both importing and exporting in C/C++/Perl/PHP APIs.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Upgrade build environment to GNU shtool 2.0.6 and GNU autoconf 2.60
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Added an "OVERVIEW" file which tries to give the "big picture"
about UUIDs and allows to survice during the nasty UUID bit fiddling.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Replaced "clock_seq_and_reserved" with
"clock_seq_high_and_reserved" in uuid.pod to already reflect the
description in the forthcoming RFC.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Speed up processing in uuid_str.c by reducing va_copy() calls from
two to just one per formatting.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
Changes between 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 (07-Feb-2006 to 13-Mar-2006)
o Fix uuid_export() function by fixing the internal
uuid_s[ar]printf() functions which require the backup of va_list
arguments between subsequent processing.
[Ralf S. Engelschall, Thomas Lotterer <thomas@lotterer.net>]
o Fix Perl API's "export" function by not taking over NUL-termination
character under UUID_FMT_TXT.
[Thomas Lotterer <thomas@lotterer.net>]
o Declare "install", "uninstall" and "clean" make(1) targets
".PHONY". This especially workarounds problems on case insensitive
filesystems (like MacOS X' filesystem) where the "INSTALL" document
conflicts with the "install" target.
[Ralf S. Engelschall, David Wheeler <david@kineticode.com>]
Changes between 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 (15-Jan-2006 to 07-Feb-2006)
o Upgrade to GNU shtool 2.0.5
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Apply workaround to uuid.h to avoid conflicts with
vendor UUID implementations where uuid_t (Darwin/MacOSX)
or uuid_create/uuid_compare (POSIX) might exist.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
Changes between 1.3.2 and 1.4.0 (06-Dec-2005 to 15-Jan-2006)
o Created a top-level Perl ExtUtils::MakeMaker wrapper script
[Ralf S. Engelschall]

(the Data::UUID compatibility module for Perl)
[David Wheeler <david@justatheory.com>]
o Upgrade to GNU shtool 2.0.3
[Ralf S. Engelschall]

[Ralf S. Engelschall]
Changes between 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 (02-Sep-2005 to 24-Sep-2005)

under C++ constraints.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Remove a compiler warning in the PHP bindings.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Plug memory leak in PRNG sub-library.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Add VPATH/srcdir support for at the default

[Ralf S. Engelschall]
Changes between 1.2.1 and 1.3.0 (30-Aug-2005 to 02-Sep-2005)

add a new corresponding uuid_clone() API function.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Cleanup some Makefile parts.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Added a pkg-config(1) specification uuid.pc which is also
installed by default in addition to the old-style uuid-config tool.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Added optional Data::UUID backward compatibility Perl API which can
be enabled with the build-time option --with-perl-compat.
[Piotr Roszatycki <dexter@debian.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Add a functionality-reduced TIE-style Perl API OSSP::uuid::tie,
intended for very high-level convenience programming.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Reference the new officially published RFC 4122.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
Changes between 1.2.0 and 1.2.1 (23-Jan-2005 to 30-Aug-2005)
o Add SEEALSO document which references all known
UUID implementations.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Improve the PRNG in case no stronger system PRNG device is
available by passing time and rand(3) based entropy into the MD5
one-way hash function to achieve at least some sort of weaker PRN data.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Fix MAC address determination under Solaris by using the result of
ioctl(...,SIOCGARP,...) only if arp_flags had ATF_COM set.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Upgrade to GNU libtool 1.5.18 and GNU shtool 2.0.2.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]

according to latest draft-mealling-uuid-urn-05.txt.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Reference new ISO/IEC 9834-8:2004 / ITU-T Rec. X.667 2004 standard
and latest IETF draft-mealling-uuid-urn-05.txt.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 (18-Nov-2004 to 13-Jan-2005)
o Fix generation of v3 UUIDs by adding support for 64-bit platforms
to the underlying uuid_md5.c code (which internally is based on
the RFC reference code which in turn assumes a 32-bit environment).
[Ralf S. Engelschall, Piotr Roszatycki <Piotr_Roszatycki@netia.net.pl>]
o Optimize internal md5_store() function by directly finalizing MD5
calculation on buffer copy instead of finalizing original buffer
and having to restore it from the buffer copy.

Changes between 0.9.7 and 1.0.0 (13-Feb-2004 to 16-Feb-2004)
o Replace remaining (old) UUID_VERSIONX names with UUID_MAKE_VX
in the documentation (uuid.pod).
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Resolve namespace conflicts with GCC 3.4 internal pow10() and round()
functions within uuid_str.c.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Fix buffer handling in "uuid_export(..., UUID_FMT_TXT, vp, ...)" in
case "vp" is not NULL.
[Fuyuki <fuyuki@nigredo.org>]
Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 (11-Feb-2004 to 13-Feb-2004)
o remove --with-rfc2518 option and functionality because
even the IETF/IESG has finally approved our report about the broken
random multicast MAC address generation in the standard (and
will fix it in new versions of the draft-mealling-uuid-urn). So,
finally get rid of this broken-by-design backward compatibility
functionality.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Add support to uuid(1) CLI for decoding from stdin for
both binary and string representations.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Add missing documentation entries for UUID_XXXX API constants and
uuid_version() function.
[Fuyuki <fuyuki@nigredo.org>]
o Adjust references for new draft-mealling-uuid-urn-02.txt.
[Fuyuki <fuyuki@nigredo.org>]
o Replaced overlooked references to old
uuid_{unpack,pack,parse,format,dump}() functions with their
current uuid_{import,export}() replacements.
[Fuyuki <fuyuki@nigredo.org>]
o Fixed "uuid -h" command.
[Fuyuki <fuyuki@nigredo.org>]
Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.6 (06-Feb-2004 to 11-Feb-2004)
o Added an experimental additional DCE 1.1 API for backward
compatibility with existing applications.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 (19-Jan-2004 to 06-Feb-2004)
o Fixed filedescriptor leak in the PRNG sub-API.
[Guerry Semones <guerry@tsunamiresearch.com>]
o Upgraded build environment to GNU libtool 1.5.2.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.4 (16-Jan-2004 to 19-Jan-2004)
o Include <string.h> in uuid.h because of size_t usage.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o INCOMPATIBILITY: Refactor the API and rename uuid_generate()
to uuid_make() and use a "uuid_t" pointer for the namespace
on UUID_VERSION3 generation. To allow access to the internal
pre-defined namespace UUIDs, provide a new uuid_load() function.
Because uuid_load() now also allows the loading of the "nil" UUID,
remove uuid_nil() from the API. After this second refactoring the
API is now the one we originally wished for the forthcoming version
1.0 of OSSP uuid.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o INCOMPATIBILITY: rename UUID_VERSIONx to UUID_MAKE_Vx and
UUID_MCASTRND to UUID_MAKE_MC to be more consistent throughout API.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Add version support to API via UUID_VERSION (compile-time)
and uuid_version() (link-time).
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o INCOMPATIBILITY: Refactor the API by merging
uuid_{unpack,pack,parse,format,dump}() functions into unified
uuid_{import,export}() functions. This allows us to easily add
support for other formats (e.g. XML) in the future without having
the change the API in principle.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Document what DCE 1.1 UUID versions exist and what they are
intended for.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Cleanup the C code to also pass warning-free a C++ compiler.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Support C++ by enclosing the C API declarations in
'extern "C" {...}' within uuid.h.
[Guerry Semones <guerry@tsunamiresearch.com>]
o Improvide decoding in uuid_dump() by at least hex-dumping the
binary representation in case of v3, v4 and Nil UUIDs. Also,
annotate with better hints.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Recognize special "Nil UUID" on decoding in uuid_dump().
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
Changes between 0.9.2 and 0.9.3 (15-Jan-2004 to 16-Jan-2004)
o Tested OSSP uuid on 16 particular Unix platforms and list
those in the new PORTING file.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Fixed minor formatting bug in call to str_rsprintf().
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Fix syntax error in uuid.ac.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
Changes between 0.9.1 and 0.9.2 (13-Jan-2004 to 15-Jan-2004)
o Provide both incorrect RFC2518-based and correct IEEE 802
multicast address generation. The default now is the correct
IEEE 802 multicast address generation but compile-time option
--with-rfc2518 selects the broken variant.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Decode also the IEEE 802 MAC address local/global bit.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Added missing documentation for uuid_dump().
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Fixed BM_POW2() macro implementation.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Use BM_XXX() and str_xxx() APIs throughout internal implementation.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Added missing manual page uuid-config(1).
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Fixed output of "uuid-config --version"
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Fixed typos in uuid.pod
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Cleanup uuid.ac for unused elements.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Moved uuid_[u]int{8,16,32}_t auto-configuration into
own internal header uuid_ac.h.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Fixed portability by replacing accidentally introduced
uint{8,16,32}_t with the portable uuid_uint{8,16,32}_t.
[Guerry Semones <guerry@tsunamiresearch.com>]
o Prefix all variable symbols in uuid.h with underscores
to avoid namespace conflicts.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Add decoding examples to uuid(1) manual page.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
Changes between 0.9.0 and 0.9.1 (11-Jan-2004 to 13-Jan-2004)
o Make "md5_init" and "mac_address" symbols namespace clean
by adding correct embedding support via "uuid_" prefix.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Implement uuid_dump() and corresponding uuid CLI "-d"
option for dumping a given UUID into clear text. For convenience
reasons add uuid_bm.h (bit mask API) and uuid_str (string
formatting API) sub-modules.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Add "-m" option to CLI for allowing to generate v1 UUIDs
with random multi-cast addresses (API UUID_MCASTRND option).
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Disable the C++ and F77 checks in GNU libtool.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
o Print involved option character (instead of '?') on invalid
option for uuid(1) CLI.
[Matthias Andree <matthias.andree@gmx.de>]
o Fixed "make install" and "make uninstall": the uuid(1) CLI
has to be [un]installed through GNU libtool, too.
[Matthias Andree <matthias.andree@gmx.de>]
o Document in uuid(1) [uuid_cli.pod] that for version 3
UUIDs additional arguments are required and what pre-defined
namespace ids are known.
[Ralf S. Engelschall, M.Daniel <mdaniel@scdi.com>]
o cleaned up source tree documentation files.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
