Revision history for Variable-Magic
+0.42 2010-05-19 00:15 UTC
+ This is a maintenance release. The code contains no functional change.
+ Users of 0.41 can skip this update.
+ + Fix : Test failures with perl 5.13.
+ + Tst : Improve coverage.
+
+0.41 2010-03-15 17:35 UTC
+ + Doc : Tweaks and fixups.
+ Thanks Shlomi Fish.
+ + Fix : Compatibility with the soon-to-be-released perl 5.12.0.
+ + Fix : Correctly propagate the errors thrown when variable destruction
+ happens at compile-time and not from inside eval STRING.
+ Thanks Florian Ragwitz and Ash Berlin for reporting.
+
+0.40 2010-01-06 23:20 UTC
+ + Fix : Possible memory miswrites when passing data arguments to cast().
+ + Fix : Minor C portability tweaks.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+ + Fix : It was possible to generate with gensig() the same signature
+ twice before actually defining the wizards.
+ + Tst : More stash tests.
+ + Tst : Test when the magic takes place in some cases.
+ + Tst : Improved coverage for the op object feature.
+
+0.32 2009-03-01 13:45 UTC
+ + Chg : dispell() and getdata() now croak when an invalid signature is
+ passed.
+ + Doc : More examples and a brand new synopsis.
+ + Fix : The signature is no longer stored in the mg_private member of
+ the MAGIC struct. This fixes possible clashes with magics from
+ other extensions.
+ + Fix : op info objects weren't blessed into the right class.
+ + Fix : Races when initializing the op names cache under threads.
+
+0.31 2009-02-19 23:50 UTC
+ + Doc : A somewhat better introduction. The FUNCTION section was moved
+ before CONSTANTS and HISTORY since it's more important. And
+ 'assignation' is really 'assignment', says Ricardo. :)
+ + Fix : The op_info features are now thread safe.
+ + Fix : Segfaults that occured when trying to get the op name during
+ global destruction.
+ + Fix : Segfaults and wrong "Unknown error" exceptions that happened
+ when dieing in require caused a free callback to fire.
+ Thanks Florian Ragwitz for reporting.
+
0.30 2009-02-12 17:05 UTC
+ Add : You can now get in all the callbacks either the name or a B::OP
object representing the current op if you pass the new 'op_info'
