Revision history for autovivification

+ + Fix : [RT #64435] : Hangs with File::Copy in Config.pm.
+ This was actually a regression introduced together with the new
+ peephole optimizer strategy, and that caused the pragma to hang
+ on constructs like "for (;;) { ... }".
+ Thanks Michael Schilli for reporting.

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