Revision history for Variable-Magic
+0.22 2008-09-29 19:40 UTC
+ + Doc : Explain how magic differs from overloading.
+ + Fix : Disable thread safety for perl 5.8 on Windows. If you want it
+ enabled, reliable feedback is welcome.
+
+0.21_02 2008-09-28 23:10 UTC
+ + Fix : Hide previously deleted magic tokens in vmg_svt_free (Yuval
+ Kogman).
+
+0.21_01 2008-09-22 13:25 UTC
+ + Chg : Shrink the context data.
+ + Fix : Enable thread safety features for perls that just lack
+ MY_CXT_CLONE.
+ + Tst : Output threads and threads::shared versions in threads tests.
+
+0.20 2008-09-20 23:35 UTC
+ + Fix : The module is now thread safe. You can test if it had been
+ built with thread safety features enabled through the
+ VMG_THREADSAFE constant.
+ + Fix : Correct backtrace when wizard() croaks.
+ + Fix : 'cast $a, undef' should throw an 'invalid wizard' error instead
+ of an 'invalid signature'.
+
+0.19 2008-07-05 15:05 UTC
+ + Add : The patchlevel with which the module has been built is now
+ exported with the VMG_PERL_PATCHLEVEL constant.
+ + Chg : Version checking macros overhaul.
+ + Fix : 'uvar' magic should only be enabled in maint-5.10 and higher
+ since it's never going to be backported to 5.8.
+ + Fix : Likewise, the copy callback API change should only be enabled in
+ 5.11 and higher.
+ + Fix : Instead of those ackward fake refcount increments in the wizard
+ destructor, flag the wizard with SVf_BREAK and force temps
+ cleanup. This should fix the wizard destruction for all perls,
+ and solves the leak introduced by the previous solution.
+
+0.18 2008-07-04 12:20 UTC
+ + Fix : Enable uvar magic when patchlevel >= 28419.
+ + Fix : Set VMG_COMPAT_ARRAY_PUSH_NOLEN for Windows ActiveState Perl
+ 5.8.x.
+
+0.17 2008-05-11 09:05 UTC
+ + Fix : 5.8.4 and lower don't have mPUSHi. Gah. Yeah, I know, I should
+ use Devel::PPPort.
+
+0.16 2008-05-10 22:05 UTC
+ + Add : The samples/copy.pl script.
+ + Chg : The sv_magical() + vmg_mg_magical() combo was simplified into
+ vmg_sv_magicuvar().
+ + Tst : t/33-code.t was testing scalars, not code.
+ + Tst : is() and like() are better than ok().
+ + Tst : 100% coverage reached.
+
+0.15 2008-04-11 18:25 UTC
+ + Chg : Factor vmg_cb_call{1,2,3}() into one function.
+ + Fix : len magic is no longer called when taking the length() of a
+ magical scalar since p32969. The VMG_COMPAT_SCALAR_LENGTH_NOLEN
+ constant was added to cover this.
+ + Tst : More tests for t/22-len.t.
+
0.14 2008-03-24 12:35 UTC
+ Fix : t/16-huf.t failures on Solaris and FreeBSD caused by not
updating mg->mg_ptr after Renew-ing it on dispell.
