 Revision history for Variable-Magic
 
+0.38    2009-10-04 16:10 UTC
+        + 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.
+
+0.35    2009-05-15 20:50 UTC
+        This is a maintenance release. Users of 0.34 can skip this update.
+        + Chg : uvar magic used to be enabled for 5.9.5. It now requires 5.10 or
+                later.
+        + Fix : Silence compilation warnings for cxinc().
+        + Rem : The workaround introduced in 0.31 for the "Unknown errors" issue
+                was removed, as regression tests show that 0.34 provides a
+                better fix.
+        + Tst : Skip t/40-threads.t on 5.8.x with old versions of threads and
+                threads::shared.
+
+0.34    2009-04-19 16:55 UTC
+        + Fix : Destruction of wizards in require.
+        + Fix : "panic: restartop" in 5.10 when dieing at compile time triggers
+                a destructor.
+
 0.33    2009-03-26 00:00 UTC
         + Chg : cast() and getsig() now croak too when an invalid signature is
                 passed.
