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. + + Chg : The CLONE method will no longer be defined for non-threaded + perls. + + Doc : Nits. + + Fix : The logic for turning off the GMAGICAL flag on hashes when no + uvar magic is involved could do nasty things on tied hashes. + + Upd : More resources in META.yml. + +0.28 2009-01-24 17:05 UTC + + Add : The 'copy_key' option to wizard(), that enables the safe edition + of $_[2] in uvar callbacks to redirect actions to another key. + + Fix : Exception objects thrown from callbacks at compile time were not + available in $@. + + Fix : free callbacks triggered during global destruction could lead to + segfaults because the wizard was already freed. + + Fix : Refcount of scalars with free callback. + + Fix : Segfaults when using get or uvar magic simultaneously with clear + magic. + + Doc : The documentation about what the callbacks take and should + return is now somewhat clearer. + +0.27 2009-01-18 23:40 UTC + + Fix : Offset of 1 with len magic on scalars. + + Fix : Segfaults that seem to happen when one croak in a callback at + compile time (thanks Ash Berlin for the testcase). + + Upd : Resources in META.yml (Florian Ragwitz) + + Tst : Large cleanup resulting in a wider set of tested behaviours. + +0.26 2008-11-29 22:05 UTC + + Fix : Leaks of cloned coderefs that access lexicals. + + Fix : Building with maint-5.8 and blead (thanks Andreas Koenig). + +0.25 2008-11-12 19:40 UTC + + Fix : Compatibility with 5.8.9. + + Fix : Old Pod::Coverage don't ignore CLONE. + + Upd : META.yml spec updated to 1.4. + +0.24 2008-10-12 14:55 UTC + + Fix : Really fix it. + +0.23 2008-10-11 17:25 UTC + + Fix : Building on perls with multiplicity but not ithreads. + +0.22 2008-09-29 19:40 UTC + + Doc : Explain how magic differs from overloading. + + Fix : Disable thread safety for perl 5.8 on Windows. If you want it + enabled, reliable feedback is welcome. + +0.21_02 2008-09-28 23:10 UTC + + Fix : Hide previously deleted magic tokens in vmg_svt_free (Yuval + Kogman). + +0.21_01 2008-09-22 13:25 UTC + + Chg : Shrink the context data. + + Fix : Enable thread safety features for perls that just lack + MY_CXT_CLONE. + + Tst : Output threads and threads::shared versions in threads tests. + +0.20 2008-09-20 23:35 UTC + + Fix : The module is now thread safe. You can test if it had been + built with thread safety features enabled through the + VMG_THREADSAFE constant. + + Fix : Correct backtrace when wizard() croaks. + + Fix : 'cast $a, undef' should throw an 'invalid wizard' error instead + of an 'invalid signature'. + +0.19 2008-07-05 15:05 UTC + + Add : The patchlevel with which the module has been built is now + exported with the VMG_PERL_PATCHLEVEL constant. + + Chg : Version checking macros overhaul. + + Fix : 'uvar' magic should only be enabled in maint-5.10 and higher + since it's never going to be backported to 5.8. + + Fix : Likewise, the copy callback API change should only be enabled in + 5.11 and higher. + + Fix : Instead of those ackward fake refcount increments in the wizard + destructor, flag the wizard with SVf_BREAK and force temps + cleanup. This should fix the wizard destruction for all perls, + and solves the leak introduced by the previous solution. + +0.18 2008-07-04 12:20 UTC + + Fix : Enable uvar magic when patchlevel >= 28419. + + Fix : Set VMG_COMPAT_ARRAY_PUSH_NOLEN for Windows ActiveState Perl + 5.8.x. + +0.17 2008-05-11 09:05 UTC + + Fix : 5.8.4 and lower don't have mPUSHi. Gah. Yeah, I know, I should + use Devel::PPPort. + +0.16 2008-05-10 22:05 UTC + + Add : The samples/copy.pl script. + + Chg : The sv_magical() + vmg_mg_magical() combo was simplified into + vmg_sv_magicuvar(). + + Tst : t/33-code.t was testing scalars, not code. + + Tst : is() and like() are better than ok(). + + Tst : 100% coverage reached. + +0.15 2008-04-11 18:25 UTC + + Chg : Factor vmg_cb_call{1,2,3}() into one function. + + Fix : len magic is no longer called when taking the length() of a + magical scalar since p32969. The VMG_COMPAT_SCALAR_LENGTH_NOLEN + constant was added to cover this. + + Tst : More tests for t/22-len.t. + +0.14 2008-03-24 12:35 UTC + + Fix : t/16-huf.t failures on Solaris and FreeBSD caused by not + updating mg->mg_ptr after Renew-ing it on dispell. + + Fix : Undefining MGf_DUP caused the wizard's magic to be wrongly + initialized. MGf_DUP now appears as true from the user point of + view, but the dup callback isn't actually set. + + Fix : Warnings with blead due to copy callbacks now taking an I32 (API + change #33256). + + Fix : vmg_svt_val() and vmg_uvar_del() aren't required if no uvar + magic is available. + + Tst : Tests now output the version of optional modules loaded. + +0.13 2008-03-19 14:35 UTC + + Doc : Link to coverage report. + + Fix : Correct dependencies listing in META.yml. + + Tst : Improved test coverage. + + Tst : Print the patchlevel as a comment. + + Tst : Use is() where it's relevant. + + Tst : t/16-huf.t now really tests interaction with H::U::FH. + +0.12 2008-02-07 18:15 UTC + + Fix : POD error. Thanks to Chris Williams (BinGOs) for the quick + feedback. + +0.11 2008-02-07 17:55 UTC + + Add : Copy callbacks now receive the current key/index in $_[2]. + The current value/element is now in $_[3]. + + Chg : The trigger of copy magic on list assignment with perls greater + than 5.10.0 was caused by uvar magic. Hence, + VMG_COMPAT_HASH_LISTASSIGN_COPY was removed. Use VMG_UVAR + instead. + + Fix : Build failures on patched perls. + + Tst : Added missing exported symbols to 01-import.t. + +0.10 2008-02-04 11:30 UTC + + Add : New script : samples/vm_vs_tie.pl, that benchmarks our uvar + magic versus tied hashes. + + Add : The VMG_COMPAT_* constants can be used from userspace to check + perl magic abilities. + + Fix : Callbacks that returned undef made us croak, breaking the + variable behaviour (regression test in 14-callbacks.t). + + Fix : uvar callbacks weren't tested for non-NULL-ity before being + called (regression test in 28-uvar.t). + + Tst : Fix typo in 25-copy.t that prevented Tie::Hash tests to be ran. + +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.
