The code contains no functional change. + Users of 0.44 can skip this update. + + Doc : C++ compilers are officially NOT supported. + + Doc : The minimum perl 5.10.0 requirement for uvar magic has been + made more explicit. + Thanks Peter Rabbitson for pointing this out and contributing a + patch. + + Tst : Tune for perl 5.13.7. + + Tst : Capture::Tiny will be used in t/17-ctl.t if and only if it can + capture a simple run. + +0.44 2010-09-24 19:10 UTC + + Fix : Broken linkage on Windows with gcc 3.4, which appears in + particular when using ActivePerl's default compiler suite. + For those setups, the Variable::Magic shared library will now + be linked against the perl dll directly (instead of the import + library). This (should) fix RT #51483. + Thanks Christian Walde for helping to reproduce this failure + and extra testing. + + Rem : Support for development perls from the 5.11 branch but older + than the 5.11.0 release was removed. This could cause more + recent setups to fail. + + Tst : Threads tests are now only run on perl 5.13.4 and higher. + They could segfault randomly because of what seems to be an + internal bug of Perl, which has been addressed in 5.13.4. + There is also an environment variable that allows you to + forcefully run those tests, but it should be set only for + author testing and not for end users. + +0.43 2010-06-25 23:35 UTC + + Add : The new constant VMG_COMPAT_GLOB_GET tells you whether get magic + is called for globs. It's true starting perl 5.13.2. + + Chg : All callbacks are now called within an eval-like context. + Only free callbacks used to be called that way. + + Fix : Some exceptions thrown from a free callback could be lost. + + Fix : Croak messages could sometimes be repeated several times. + + Fix : t/41-clone.t segfaulting with perl 5.13.2. + +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
