 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.
