3 0.14 2015-03-14 03:10 UTC
4 + Chg : perl 5.8.4 is now required (instead of 5.8.3).
5 + Fix : [RT #100202] : Fix for 5.21.6-to-be.
6 Thanks Father Chrysostomos for reporting and contributing a
8 + Fix : Be really compatible with the optional OP_PARENT feature.
9 + Tst : $ENV{$Config{ldlibpthname}} is now preserved on all platforms,
10 which will address failures of t/81-threads-teardown.t with
11 unusual compilers (like icc) that link all their compiled
12 objects to their own libraries.
14 0.13 2014-10-04 23:25 UTC
15 + Add : Support for the PERL_OP_PARENT optional feature introduced in
17 + Doc : The CAVEATS section now warns about the global slowdown during
18 compilation caused by this pragma.
19 + Fix : [RT #86112] : Doesn't hook new PADRANGE op in Perl 5.18.
20 The PADRANGE optimization is now fully supported.
21 Thanks Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker for reporting.
22 + Fix : Segfaults in eval in an END block of a Win32 pseudo-fork.
23 + Fix : Segfaults during global destruction of a thread or a
25 + Fix : Check functions are now replaced and restored in a thread-safe
26 manner, either by using the wrap_op_checker() function from perl
27 when it is available (starting from perl 5.16) or by taking the
28 OP_REFCNT mutex on older perls.
29 + Tst : Author tests are no longer bundled with this distribution.
30 They are only made available to authors in the git repository.
31 + Tst : Test failures of t/81-threads-teardown.t on Cygwin and Android
32 should have been addressed.
33 + Tst : Threads tests will not fail anymore if resources constraints
34 prevent the system from creating all the required threads.
35 + Upd : Metadata overhaul.
37 0.12 2011-08-24 16:30 UTC
38 + Fix : The pragma no longer vivifies the "Lexical::Types" entry in the
39 hints hash %^H on perl 5.8.
41 0.11 2011-02-26 22:00 UTC
42 + Fix : [RT #66164] : Lexical::Types hangs with PPI.
43 This was actually a regression introduced together with the new
44 peephole optimizer strategy, and that caused the pragma to hang
45 on constructs like "for (;;) { ... }".
46 Thanks Chisel Wright for reminding me about this issue.
48 0.10 2011-01-03 20:35 UTC
49 + Add : The new constant LT_FORKSAFE can be tested to know whether the
50 module will behave nicely when fork()ing. It's currently always
51 true except on Windows where you need perl 5.10.1 for it to be
53 + Chg : perl 5.8.3 is now required (instead of 5.8.0).
54 + Fix : Scope leaks under perl 5.8-5.10.0.
55 + Fix : Segmentation faults and misbehaviours in threaded applications.
56 + Fix : Compatibility with perl 5.13.1 and higher.
57 + Fix : Broken linkage on Windows with gcc 3.4, which appears in
58 particular when using ActivePerl's default compiler suite.
59 For those setups, the Lexical::Types shared library will now
60 be linked against the perl dll directly (instead of the import
62 + Tst : Threads tests are now only run on perl 5.13.4 and higher.
63 They could segfault randomly because of what seems to be an
64 internal bug of Perl, which has been addressed in 5.13.4.
65 There is also an environment variable that allows you to
66 forcefully run those tests, but it should be set only for
67 author testing and not for end users.
69 0.09 2010-01-03 00:00 UTC
70 + Fix : Building and testing with blead.
71 + Fix : Unbalanced scopes when skipping a typed declaration.
72 + Fix : Segfaults when Lexical::Types is loaded for the first time from
74 + Fix : Leaks of memory associated with the root interpreter.
75 + Fix : Work around Kwalitee test misfailures.
76 + Opt : Less memory will be used for non-threaded perls version 5.10.0
77 and below, and for threaded perls from version 5.10.1.
79 0.08 2009-07-04 19:35 UTC
80 + Fix : Don't leak the old op info when a pointer table entry is reused.
81 + Fix : Possibly missed constructs with eval STRING called in a thread.
83 0.07 2009-07-01 08:45 UTC
84 + Chg : perl 5.8.x on MSWin32 is no longer considered as thread safe.
85 + Fix : Work around a bug in perl 5.10.0 and lower that cause hints to
86 propagate into required files.
87 + Fix : Clean up map entries associated to uncatched OPs.
89 0.06 2009-05-01 19:00 UTC
90 + Fix : The pragma now properly propagates into threaded eval STRING,
91 effectively making the module thread safe. The new LT_THREADSAFE
92 constant can be used to know whether the module could have been
93 built with thread safety features enabled.
95 0.05 2009-04-28 21:40 UTC
96 + Fix : Building with PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS set (especially on Win32).
97 + Tst : Dieing in callbacks.
99 0.04 2009-03-07 15:45 UTC
100 + Chg : Some implementation of pointer table is now used internally.
101 This should make thread safety more robust.
103 + Tst : Using Lexical::Types inside the 'as' callback.
104 + Tst : Thread safety.
106 0.03 2009-03-05 21:15 UTC
107 + Doc : Discuss about using constants for types.
108 + Fix : The PL_ppaddr[OP_PADSV] localization logic was refined so that
109 it is kinder to other modules that replace it.
110 + Tst : "my Str ($x, $y)" and "for my Str $x ()" constructs
111 + Tst : uvar magic, magical tags.
113 0.02 2009-02-25 16:10 UTC
114 + Add : Returning an empty list from the mangler skips the wrapping of
115 the current typed lexical declaration.
116 + Chg : The package and method names passed to the callbacks are now all
119 0.01 2009-02-24 23:20 UTC
120 First version, released on an unsuspecting world.
