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.

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.
