 Revision history for Variable-Magic
 
+0.09    2008-02-02 11:30 UTC
+        + Doc : Explicitely say that uvar callbacks are safely ignored for
+                non-hashes.
+        + Doc : Document caveats and fix the usual set of typos.
+        + Fix : vmg_dispell() didn't check if the ext magic were ours when
+                counting wizards that have uvar callbacks, resulting in a
+                possible memory misread.
+        + Fix : getdata() now returns directly the data object, and no longer a
+                copy. This caused a leak.
+        + Tst : Prefix author tests by 9*-.
+        + Tst : New optional author test : 95-portability-files.t, that uses
+                Test::Portability::Files when it's present.
+        + Tst : New test : 14-self.t, that tests application of magic on the
+                wizard itself.
+        + Tst : Move Hash::Util::FieldHash tests out of 11-multiple.t to
+                15-huf.t.
+
+0.08    2008-02-01 16:55 UTC
+        + Add : copy magic for tied arrays/hashes.
+        + Add : local magic.
+        + Add : uvar magics : fetch, store, exists, delete for hashes.
+
+0.07_*  2008-01
+        Internal development versions.
+
+0.06    2007-11-20 10:10 UTC
+        + Chg : 5.7.3 is now officially required.
+        + Fix : "data" test failures on 5.8.{0,2}.
+        + Fix : Drand01() vs rand().
+
+0.05    2007-11-19 09:10 UTC
+        + Fix : 5.10.0_RC1 compatibility fix.
+
+0.04    2007-08-28 12:25 UTC
+        + Chg : s/require (XSLoader)/use $1/.
+        + Fix : Tests are now strict.
+        + Fix : Complete dependencies.
+
+0.03    2007-08-01 17:20 UTC
+        + Add : Passing the signature of an already defined magic to wizard()
+                now returns the corresponding magic object.
+        + Add : You can pass the numeric signature as the wizard argument of
+                cast(), dispell() and getdata().
+        + Add : Any argument specified after the wizard (or the signature) in a
+                call to cast() is now passed to the private data constructor in
+                $_[1] and after.
+        + Chg : $_[0] is now always a reference to the magic variable in all
+                callbacks. The reason for changing from the previous behaviour
+                is that one may want to apply the same magic to a plain scalar
+                and to a scalar reference, and needs a way to distinguish
+                between them in the callback (say, ref()).
+        + Fix : Wizard object destruction used not to free the signature.
+
 0.02    2007-07-27 13:50 UTC
         + Fix : In response to test report 548152 :
                 Newx() and SvMAGIC_set() not present on older perls.
