+ + Add : You can now pass a reference to undef as the magic callback in
+ order to install a no-op callback.
+ Thanks Florian Ragwitz for the suggestion.
+
+0.47 2011-10-27 16:55 UTC
+ + Add : The new constant VMG_COMPAT_HASH_DELETE_NOUVAR_VOID evaluates
+ to true when "delete $hash{key}" does not call 'delete' uvar
+ magic in void context.
+ + Chg : The MAGIC tokens created by this module no longer use the
+ mg_private member for storing a "magical" signature.
+ + Fix : Triggering magic in a thread on a variable cloned from the main
+ interpreter, and when the wizard already went out of scope,
+ will not segfault anymore.
+ + Opt : The pointer table is no longer needed to ensure thread safety.
+ The size of the object code is about 8% smaller for threaded
+ perls.
+ + Tst : Threads tests will not fail anymore if resources constraints
+ prevent the system from creating all the required threads.
+
+0.46 2011-01-23 16:45 UTC
+ + Fix : [RT #64866] : Assertion failure with perl 5.13.9.
+ The real problem was that dispell() wasn't properly resetting
+ the magical sv flags, which became visible in the test suite
+ only with perl 5.13.9.
+ Thanks Joshua ben Jore for reporting.

+ This is a maintenance release. The code contains no functional change.
+ Users of 0.44 can skip this update.
+ + Doc : C++ compilers are officially NOT supported.
+ + Doc : The minimum perl 5.10.0 requirement for uvar magic has been
+ made more explicit.
+ Thanks Peter Rabbitson for pointing this out and contributing a
+ patch.
+ + Tst : Tune for perl 5.13.7.
+ + Tst : Capture::Tiny will be used in t/17-ctl.t if and only if it can
+ capture a simple run.
+
+0.44 2010-09-24 19:10 UTC
+ + Fix : Broken linkage on Windows with gcc 3.4, which appears in
+ particular when using ActivePerl's default compiler suite.
+ For those setups, the Variable::Magic shared library will now
+ be linked against the perl dll directly (instead of the import
+ library). This (should) fix RT #51483.
+ Thanks Christian Walde for helping to reproduce this failure
+ and extra testing.
+ + Rem : Support for development perls from the 5.11 branch but older
+ than the 5.11.0 release was removed. This could cause more
+ recent setups to fail.
+ + 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.
+
+0.43 2010-06-25 23:35 UTC
+ + Add : The new constant VMG_COMPAT_GLOB_GET tells you whether get magic
+ is called for globs. It's true starting perl 5.13.2.
+ + Chg : All callbacks are now called within an eval-like context.
+ Only free callbacks used to be called that way.
+ + Fix : Some exceptions thrown from a free callback could be lost.
+ + Fix : Croak messages could sometimes be repeated several times.
+ + Fix : t/41-clone.t segfaulting with perl 5.13.2.
