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. + +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 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. + +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.
