4 + Fix : Building on Windows.
6 0.07 2010-12-31 16:20 UTC
7 + Chg : perl 5.8.3 is required.
8 + Doc : Complements and clarifications.
9 + Fix : Segmentation faults and misbehaviours in threaded applications.
10 + Fix : Compatibility with perl 5.13.7.
11 Thanks Andreas J. König for reporting and Andrew Main for
13 + Fix : Broken linkage on Windows with gcc 3.4, which appears in
14 particular when using ActivePerl's default compiler suite.
15 For those setups, the autovivification shared library will now
16 be linked against the perl dll directly (instead of the import
18 + Opt : The pragma takes slightly more time at compile-time, but is
19 slightly faster at run-time.
20 + Tst : Lengthy tests have been ported to Test::Leaner, making the
21 whole test suite about 50% faster.
22 + Tst : Threads tests are now only run on perl 5.13.4 and higher.
23 They could segfault randomly because of what seems to be an
24 internal bug of Perl, which has been addressed in 5.13.4.
25 There is also an environment variable that allows you to
26 forcefully run those tests, but it should be set only for
27 author testing and not for end users.

30 + Add : The A_THREADSAFE and A_FORKSAFE constants.
31 + Fix : [RT #56870] : "no autovivification" vs Regexp::Common.
32 This was a bug in how tied arrays and hashes were handled.
33 Thanks Michael G. Schwern for reporting.
34 + Fix : Scope leaks under perl 5.8-5.10.0.
35 + Fix : Segfaults when first loading the pragma from inside a thread.
37 0.05 2010-03-05 23:15 UTC
38 + Fix : [RT #55154] : Crashes and assertion failures when deparsing and
39 re-eval-uating some code compiled while autovivification was in
41 Thanks Michael G. Schwern for reporting.
42 + Fix : [RT #53647] : "leys" typo in pod.
43 Thanks Hinrik Orn Sigurdsson for reporting.

46 + Add : Array and hash slices are now handled by the pragma.
47 + Fix : Work around Kwalitee test misfailures.
49 0.03 2009-06-23 22:20 UTC
50 + Add : Handle old-fashion dereferencing (like $$hashref{key}).
51 + Chg : Aliasing constructs (for ($x{foo}) { ... }) are now covered by
52 the 'store' category (and no longer the 'fetch' one). This is
53 because there's no way to know at compile-time if the alias
55 + Fix : Quadratic complexity at compile-time.
56 + Fix : Segfaults when dereferencing globals.
57 + Fix : Segfaults on big-endian systems.
58 + Tst : Really test plain arrays and hashes.
59 + Tst : Improved coverage.
61 0.02 2009-06-17 18:05 UTC
62 + Add : 'fetch' also applies to aliasing ("for ($hashref->{key}) { }").
63 + Fix : Don't segfault on "keys/values %$hashref", and don't vivify if
65 + Fix : Plain dereferencing shouldn't have a different behaviour when
67 + Tst : Improved coverage.
