 Revision history for Scope-Upper
 
+0.20    2012-09-17 11:00 UTC
+        + Add : The new yield(@values, $context) function can be used to return
+                values to any upper scope, including do or map blocks.
+                The new leave(@values) function is an alias for
+                yield(@values, HERE).
+        + Add : The new context_info($context) function return information
+                about context $context, similarly to what caller() provides
+                but for any upper scope.
+        + Chg : Contexts are now normalized. In previous versions, it was
+                possible for different contexts to refer to the same scope :
+                for example, "for (my $i = 0; $i < 10; ++$i) { ... }" was
+                reachable through two contexts, while "for (@array) { ... }"
+                only by one. Starting from this version, contexts are
+                normalized so that they always represent an actual scope.
+        + Doc : C++ compilers are officially NOT supported.
+        + Fix : Building with a more recent version of perl 5.17.4.
+        + Fix : Debugger compatibility with perl 5.17.1 and above.
+
+0.19    2012-09-01 13:25 UTC
+        + Doc : POD headings have been made linkable.
+        + Fix : Building with perl 5.17.4.
+        + Fix : BUILD_PREREQS are now set for ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
+        + Opt : uplevel() private data structure is 7% smaller on 64 bits
+                architectures.
+        + Tst : Author tests overhaul.
+
+0.18    2011-10-10 20:50 UTC
+        + Add : The uid() function returns an unique identifier for each dynamic
+                scope. The validate_uid() function can be used to check whether
+                one such identifier is valid (i.e. that the scope it refers to
+                is still alive).
+        + Chg : It is no longer possible on perl 5.6 to call goto() in an
+                uplevel callback to replace the uplevel call. This change was
+                needed in order to ensure consistency between platforms
+                regarding to the following fix just below.
+        + Fix : The uplevel() tests now pass on Windows.
+                Thanks C.H. Kang for bringing this to my attention.

-        + Fix : uplevel() will now use the correct pad when executing its                       callback. This fixes at least two issues :
+        + Fix : uplevel() will now use the correct pad when executing its
+                callback. This fixes at least two issues :
                 - closures defined inside the uplevel callback can now correctly
                 access lexicals from inside and outside the callback.
                 - state variables in the uplevel callback now work properly.
