Revision history for Variable-Magic
+0.39 2009-12-01 00:05 UTC
+ + Add : You can use a function name as a callback by passing a string
+ reference to wizard() instead of a code reference.
+ + Fix : Compatiblity with perl 5.11.1 and 5.11.2.
+ + Fix : Scalars stored into the data slot no longer leak.
+ + Fix : Thread destruction should not segfault anymore.
+ + Opt : As a result of removing the deprecated features, less memory is
+ used for both threaded (a pointer table is used instead of a
+ hash) and non-threaded (no global structure is needed anymore)
+ perls.
+ + Rem : As advertised in the precendent version, all the signature
+ related features were removed. This includes the 'sig' option
+ to wizard(), the getsig() and gensig() functions, and the SIG_*
+ constants.

+ + Dep : All the signature-related features are DEPRECATED and will be
+ removed in december 2009. This includes the 'sig' option to
+ wizard(), the getsig() and gensig() functions, and the SIG_*
+ constants.
+ Afaik those features were never used in real life, and they make
+ the XS code slow and brittle. If you want your wizards to be
+ globally available, you'll have to handle that yourself by
+ storing them in a hash.
+ + Doc : More examples in a new COOKBOOK section.
+ + Fix : Compatiblity with the 5.11.0 release. The new compatibility
+ constant VMG_COMPAT_ARRAY_PUSH_NOLEN_VOID was added to cover
+ this.
+ + Fix : Work around Kwalitee test misfailures.
+
+0.37 2009-08-25 15:25 UTC
+ + Add : The new constant VMG_FORKSAFE can be tested to know whether the
+ module will behave nicely when fork()ing. It's currently always
+ true except on Windows where you need perl 5.10.1 for it to be
+ true.
+ + Doc : Nits and clarifications.
+
+0.36 2009-07-05 16:30 UTC
+ + Chg : getdata() now returns an empty list when no magic is present.
+ It used to return undef but did not croak as stated in the doc.
+ Thanks Matt S. Trout for pointing this out.
+ + Fix : Building and tests with ActiveState Perl 5.8 build >= 822.
