3 0.14 2008-03-24 12:35 UTC
4 + Fix : t/16-huf.t failures on Solaris and FreeBSD caused by not
5 updating mg->mg_ptr after Renew-ing it on dispell.
6 + Fix : Undefining MGf_DUP caused the wizard's magic to be wrongly
7 initialized. MGf_DUP now appears as true from the user point of
8 view, but the dup callback isn't actually set.
9 + Fix : Warnings with blead due to copy callbacks now taking an I32 (API
11 + Fix : vmg_svt_val() and vmg_uvar_del() aren't required if no uvar
13 + Tst : Tests now output the version of optional modules loaded.
15 0.13 2008-03-19 14:35 UTC
16 + Doc : Link to coverage report.
17 + Fix : Correct dependencies listing in META.yml.
18 + Tst : Improved test coverage.
19 + Tst : Print the patchlevel as a comment.
20 + Tst : Use is() where it's relevant.
21 + Tst : t/16-huf.t now really tests interaction with H::U::FH.
23 0.12 2008-02-07 18:15 UTC
24 + Fix : POD error. Thanks to Chris Williams (BinGOs) for the quick
27 0.11 2008-02-07 17:55 UTC
28 + Add : Copy callbacks now receive the current key/index in $_[2].
29 The current value/element is now in $_[3].
30 + Chg : The trigger of copy magic on list assignment with perls greater
31 than 5.10.0 was caused by uvar magic. Hence,
32 VMG_COMPAT_HASH_LISTASSIGN_COPY was removed. Use VMG_UVAR
34 + Fix : Build failures on patched perls.
35 + Tst : Added missing exported symbols to 01-import.t.
37 0.10 2008-02-04 11:30 UTC
38 + Add : New script : samples/vm_vs_tie.pl, that benchmarks our uvar
39 magic versus tied hashes.
40 + Add : The VMG_COMPAT_* constants can be used from userspace to check
42 + Fix : Callbacks that returned undef made us croak, breaking the
43 variable behaviour (regression test in 14-callbacks.t).
44 + Fix : uvar callbacks weren't tested for non-NULL-ity before being
45 called (regression test in 28-uvar.t).
46 + Tst : Fix typo in 25-copy.t that prevented Tie::Hash tests to be ran.
48 0.09 2008-02-02 11:30 UTC
49 + Doc : Explicitely say that uvar callbacks are safely ignored for
51 + Doc : Document caveats and fix the usual set of typos.
52 + Fix : vmg_dispell() didn't check if the ext magic were ours when
53 counting wizards that have uvar callbacks, resulting in a
54 possible memory misread.
55 + Fix : getdata() now returns directly the data object, and no longer a
56 copy. This caused a leak.
57 + Tst : Prefix author tests by 9*-.
58 + Tst : New optional author test : 95-portability-files.t, that uses
59 Test::Portability::Files when it's present.
60 + Tst : New test : 14-self.t, that tests application of magic on the
62 + Tst : Move Hash::Util::FieldHash tests out of 11-multiple.t to
65 0.08 2008-02-01 16:55 UTC
66 + Add : copy magic for tied arrays/hashes.
68 + Add : uvar magics : fetch, store, exists, delete for hashes.
71 Internal development versions.
73 0.06 2007-11-20 10:10 UTC
74 + Chg : 5.7.3 is now officially required.
75 + Fix : "data" test failures on 5.8.{0,2}.
76 + Fix : Drand01() vs rand().
78 0.05 2007-11-19 09:10 UTC
79 + Fix : 5.10.0_RC1 compatibility fix.
81 0.04 2007-08-28 12:25 UTC
82 + Chg : s/require (XSLoader)/use $1/.
83 + Fix : Tests are now strict.
84 + Fix : Complete dependencies.
86 0.03 2007-08-01 17:20 UTC
87 + Add : Passing the signature of an already defined magic to wizard()
88 now returns the corresponding magic object.
89 + Add : You can pass the numeric signature as the wizard argument of
90 cast(), dispell() and getdata().
91 + Add : Any argument specified after the wizard (or the signature) in a
92 call to cast() is now passed to the private data constructor in
94 + Chg : $_[0] is now always a reference to the magic variable in all
95 callbacks. The reason for changing from the previous behaviour
96 is that one may want to apply the same magic to a plain scalar
97 and to a scalar reference, and needs a way to distinguish
98 between them in the callback (say, ref()).
99 + Fix : Wizard object destruction used not to free the signature.
101 0.02 2007-07-27 13:50 UTC
102 + Fix : In response to test report 548152 :
103 Newx() and SvMAGIC_set() not present on older perls.
104 + Fix : In response to test report 548275 :
105 Since perl 5.9.5, 'clear' magic is invoked when an array is
106 undefined (bug #43357). Moreover, 'len' magic is no longer
107 called by pushing an element since perl 5.9.3.
108 + Fix : Missing glob test in MANIFEST.
110 0.01 2007-07-25 16:15 UTC
111 First version, released on an unsuspecting world.
