 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.
+
+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'
+                option to wizard() with respective values VMG_OP_INFO_NAME and
+                VMG_OP_INFO_OBJECT.
+        + Doc : Document magic on array/hashes values.
+        + Fix : Completely skip free callbacks during global destruction.
+        + Tst : Tests now pass again on 5.8.3 and lower (they were broken since
+                0.27).
+        + Tst : Test magic on symbol table and on array/hash values.
+
 0.29    2009-02-08 11:10 UTC
         + Add : Set $_[2] to the default length for len magic on scalars.
         + Chg : Perl 5.8 is required.
