| Summary: Universally Unique Identifier library for Perl | |
The UUID library is used to generate unique identifiers for objects that may be accessible beyond the local system. For instance, they could be used to generate unique HTTP cookies across multiple web servers without communication between the servers, and without fear of a name clash. The generated UUIDs can be reasonably expected to be unique within a system, and unique across all systems, and are compatible with those created by the Open Software Foundation (OSF) Distributed Computing Environment (DCE). All generated UUIDs are either version 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, or version 7. And all are variant 1, meaning compliant with the OSF DCE standard as described in RFC4122. Versions 6 and 7 are not yet standardized. They are presented here as proposed in RFC4122bis, version 14, and may change in the future. RFC4122bis is noted to replace RFC4122, if approved.

- Use system randomness for seeding internal PRNG. Source is
platform-specific and preferred in the following order, if
available:
- arc4random()
- BCryptGenRandom()
- CryptGenRandom()
- getentropy()
- getrandom()
- /dev/urandom
- Move internal context to anonymous mmap to synchronize timestamps
between multiple processes or threads. This also means random
numbers from all processes/threads now come from a common pool,
eliminating chance of parallel duplication.
- Improved internal context locking, switching away from pthreads due
to cross-platform inconsistencies with respect to process-shared
mutexes. Now OpenBSD uses futex, Win32 uses SRWLocks, and OSX uses
GCD. Everywhere else uses sem_wait. These solutions were promoted to
top-tier after realizing they would have to be done anyway as
fallbacks for pthreads.
- Add internal try/catch to ensure locks are not orphaned and avoid
deadlock in fork/thread scenarios.
- Fix off-by-one in time adjustment causing occasional duplication on
very fast hosts. (Over 10M UUIDs/sec, so probably never seen in
production.) See, for example:
https://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/f26eddf4-dc5c-11f0-baa1-832b6e8775ea
- Scroll to failed test t/3unique/v6.t
- Notice the first 3 digit groups of each UUID.
- For v6 UUIDs, the first 3 groups are basically system time in 100ns steps.
- The first 12 UUIDs are increasing 1 count each.
- The next 11 UUIDs are also increasing 1 count each, repeating the
same times as the first 12. The sequence field (the 4th digit
group) has increased though, so this is okay.
- The 24th UUID repeats the 23rd.
- The burst ends with the 28th UUID.
- Sped up t/3unique non-forking tests to tickle off-by-one bug.
- Make t/3unique fork/prefork tests run in parallel.
- Make t/8threads tests try harder to produce dupes.
- Add fork/prefork tests for uncovered UUID versions.
- Drop Test::More in favor of lighter, faster, homegrown module.

0.29 Wed Oct 25 01:15:57 EDT 2023
- Bump prereq version for Devel::CheckLib to 1.14 to fix problems with
Strawberry versions 5.18 to 5.28. Earlier Strawberry did not ship
Devel::CheckLib. Newer versions shipped 1.14 or later.
- Thanks to twata. [rt.cpan.org #143841]
* Tue Sep 03 2019 Tina Mueller <tina.mueller@suse.com>
- Add BuildRequires: libuuid-devel

- updated to 0.28
see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-UUID/Changes
0.28 Sat Dec 29 00:59:25 EST 2018
- Add OSSP variant of libuuid. CentOS7 (and presumably other RedHat
derivatives) have packages for both OSSP and e2fs. Favor e2fs, if
found, since our implementation of OSSP is probably slower.
- Thanks to Greg Cox. [rt.cpan.org #128122]
