 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.
