4 + Add : Copy callbacks now receive the current key/index in $_[2].
5 The current value/element is now in $_[3].
6 + Chg : The trigger of copy magic on list assignment with perls greater
7 than 5.10.0 was caused by uvar magic. Hence,
8 VMG_COMPAT_HASH_LISTASSIGN_COPY was removed. Use VMG_UVAR
10 + Fix : Build failures on patched perls.
11 + Tst : Added missing exported symbols to 01-import.t.
13 0.10 2008-02-04 11:30 UTC
14 + Add : New script : samples/vm_vs_tie.pl, that benchmarks our uvar
15 magic versus tied hashes.
16 + Add : The VMG_COMPAT_* constants can be used from userspace to check
18 + Fix : Callbacks that returned undef made us croak, breaking the
19 variable behaviour (regression test in 14-callbacks.t).
20 + Fix : uvar callbacks weren't tested for non-NULL-ity before being
21 called (regression test in 28-uvar.t).
22 + Tst : Fix typo in 25-copy.t that prevented Tie::Hash tests to be ran.
24 0.09 2008-02-02 11:30 UTC
25 + Doc : Explicitely say that uvar callbacks are safely ignored for
27 + Doc : Document caveats and fix the usual set of typos.
28 + Fix : vmg_dispell() didn't check if the ext magic were ours when
29 counting wizards that have uvar callbacks, resulting in a
30 possible memory misread.
31 + Fix : getdata() now returns directly the data object, and no longer a
32 copy. This caused a leak.
33 + Tst : Prefix author tests by 9*-.
34 + Tst : New optional author test : 95-portability-files.t, that uses
35 Test::Portability::Files when it's present.
36 + Tst : New test : 14-self.t, that tests application of magic on the
38 + Tst : Move Hash::Util::FieldHash tests out of 11-multiple.t to
41 0.08 2008-02-01 16:55 UTC
42 + Add : copy magic for tied arrays/hashes.
44 + Add : uvar magics : fetch, store, exists, delete for hashes.
47 Internal development versions.
49 0.06 2007-11-20 10:10 UTC
50 + Chg : 5.7.3 is now officially required.
51 + Fix : "data" test failures on 5.8.{0,2}.
52 + Fix : Drand01() vs rand().
54 0.05 2007-11-19 09:10 UTC
55 + Fix : 5.10.0_RC1 compatibility fix.
57 0.04 2007-08-28 12:25 UTC
58 + Chg : s/require (XSLoader)/use $1/.
59 + Fix : Tests are now strict.
60 + Fix : Complete dependencies.
62 0.03 2007-08-01 17:20 UTC
63 + Add : Passing the signature of an already defined magic to wizard()
64 now returns the corresponding magic object.
65 + Add : You can pass the numeric signature as the wizard argument of
66 cast(), dispell() and getdata().
67 + Add : Any argument specified after the wizard (or the signature) in a
68 call to cast() is now passed to the private data constructor in
70 + Chg : $_[0] is now always a reference to the magic variable in all
71 callbacks. The reason for changing from the previous behaviour
72 is that one may want to apply the same magic to a plain scalar
73 and to a scalar reference, and needs a way to distinguish
74 between them in the callback (say, ref()).
75 + Fix : Wizard object destruction used not to free the signature.
77 0.02 2007-07-27 13:50 UTC
78 + Fix : In response to test report 548152 :
79 Newx() and SvMAGIC_set() not present on older perls.
80 + Fix : In response to test report 548275 :
81 Since perl 5.9.5, 'clear' magic is invoked when an array is
82 undefined (bug #43357). Moreover, 'len' magic is no longer
83 called by pushing an element since perl 5.9.3.
84 + Fix : Missing glob test in MANIFEST.
86 0.01 2007-07-25 16:15 UTC
87 First version, released on an unsuspecting world.
