 Revision history for Lexical-Types
 
+0.16    2017-11-04 17:15 UTC
+        + Fix : Test failures on perl 5.27.5 and above.
+
+0.15    2015-12-21 15:30 UTC
+        + Chg : The new environment variable to enable thread tests on older
+                perls is PERL_FORCE_TEST_THREADS. Note that this variable
+                should only be turned on by authors.
+        + Chg : A large chunk of boilerplate XS code, which is also used in
+                other XS modules, has been factored out of the main .xs file
+                to a collection of .h files in the xsh subdirectory.
+        + Fix : This module can once again be built with strict C89 compilers.
+        + Fix : Update the Windows ActivePerl + gcc 3.4 workaround for
+                ExtUtils::MakeMaker 7.04. Thanks Christian Walde for reporting
+                and feedback on this issue.
+        + Fix : Segfaults when the module is loaded by several threads (or
+                Windows emulated processes) ran in parallel.
+        + Fix : Test failures of threads tests on systems with harsh resource
+                constraints causing the threads to exit() during run.
+
+0.14    2015-03-14 03:10 UTC
+        + Chg : perl 5.8.4 is now required (instead of 5.8.3).
+        + Fix : [RT #100202] : Fix for 5.21.6-to-be.
+                Thanks Father Chrysostomos for reporting and contributing a
+                patch.
+        + Fix : Be really compatible with the optional OP_PARENT feature.
+        + Tst : $ENV{$Config{ldlibpthname}} is now preserved on all platforms,
+                which will address failures of t/81-threads-teardown.t with
+                unusual compilers (like icc) that link all their compiled
+                objects to their own libraries.
+
+0.13    2014-10-04 23:25 UTC
+        + Add : Support for the PERL_OP_PARENT optional feature introduced in
+                perl 5.21.2.
+        + Doc : The CAVEATS section now warns about the global slowdown during
+                compilation caused by this pragma.
+        + Fix : [RT #86112] : Doesn't hook new PADRANGE op in Perl 5.18.
+                The PADRANGE optimization is now fully supported.
+                Thanks Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker for reporting.
+        + Fix : Segfaults in eval in an END block of a Win32 pseudo-fork.
+        + Fix : Segfaults during global destruction of a thread or a
+                pseudo-fork.
+        + Fix : Check functions are now replaced and restored in a thread-safe
+                manner, either by using the wrap_op_checker() function from perl
+                when it is available (starting from perl 5.16) or by taking the
+                OP_REFCNT mutex on older perls.
+        + Tst : Author tests are no longer bundled with this distribution.
+                They are only made available to authors in the git repository.
+        + Tst : Test failures of t/81-threads-teardown.t on Cygwin and Android
+                should have been addressed.
+        + Tst : Threads tests will not fail anymore if resources constraints
+                prevent the system from creating all the required threads.
+        + Upd : Metadata overhaul.
+
 0.12    2011-08-24 16:30 UTC
         + Fix : The pragma no longer vivifies the "Lexical::Types" entry in the
                 hints hash %^H on perl 5.8.
