Changes for version 0.58

  • decode_utf8()/encode_utf8() now tries to avoid copying values returned from a subroutine, ARRAY functions (delete, pop, shift, splice) and HASH functions (delete). Following examples is zero-copy if the returned value is a string:
    • decode_utf8(function());
    • decode_utf8(delete $hash{Key});
    • deocde_utf8(shift @array);
  • Optimized decoding of upgraded octets.
  • Removed suffix "in UTF-8 encoding form" from warnings messages
