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 Lexical::Types 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.
