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.
