Revision history for Lexical-Types
+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.
+
+0.11 2011-02-26 22:00 UTC
+ + Fix : [RT #66164] : Lexical::Types hangs with PPI.
+ This was actually a regression introduced together with the new
+ peephole optimizer strategy, and that caused the pragma to hang
+ on constructs like "for (;;) { ... }".
+ Thanks Chisel Wright for reminding me about this issue.
+
+0.10 2011-01-03 20:35 UTC
+ + Add : The new constant LT_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.
+ + Chg : perl 5.8.3 is now required (instead of 5.8.0).
+ + Fix : Scope leaks under perl 5.8-5.10.0.
+ + Fix : Segmentation faults and misbehaviours in threaded applications.
+ + Fix : Compatibility with perl 5.13.1 and higher.
+ + Fix : Broken linkage on Windows with gcc 3.4, which appears in
+ particular when using ActivePerl's default compiler suite.
+ For those setups, the autovivification shared library will now
+ be linked against the perl dll directly (instead of the import
+ library).
+ + 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.

+0.09 2010-01-03 00:00 UTC
+ + Fix : Building and testing with blead.
+ + Fix : Unbalanced scopes when skipping a typed declaration.
+ + Fix : Segfaults when Lexical::Types is loaded for the first time from
+ inside a thread.
+ + Fix : Leaks of memory associated with the root interpreter.
+ + Fix : Work around Kwalitee test misfailures.
+ + Opt : Less memory will be used for non-threaded perls version 5.10.0
+ and below, and for threaded perls from version 5.10.1.
+
+0.08 2009-07-04 19:35 UTC
+ + Fix : Don't leak the old op info when a pointer table entry is reused.
+ + Fix : Possibly missed constructs with eval STRING called in a thread.
+
+0.07 2009-07-01 08:45 UTC
+ + Chg : perl 5.8.x on MSWin32 is no longer considered as thread safe.
+ + Fix : Work around a bug in perl 5.10.0 and lower that cause hints to
+ propagate into required files.
+ + Fix : Clean up map entries associated to uncatched OPs.
+
+0.06 2009-05-01 19:00 UTC
+ + Fix : The pragma now properly propagates into threaded eval STRING,
+ effectively making the module thread safe. The new LT_THREADSAFE
+ constant can be used to know whether the module could have been
+ built with thread safety features enabled.
+
+0.05 2009-04-28 21:40 UTC
+ + Fix : Building with PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS set (especially on Win32).
+ + Tst : Dieing in callbacks.
+
+0.04 2009-03-07 15:45 UTC
+ + Chg : Some implementation of pointer table is now used internally.
+ This should make thread safety more robust.
+ + Doc : Cleanups.
+ + Tst : Using Lexical::Types inside the 'as' callback.
+ + Tst : Thread safety.
+
0.03 2009-03-05 21:15 UTC
+ Doc : Discuss about using constants for types.
+ Fix : The PL_ppaddr[OP_PADSV] localization logic was refined so that
