1 Revision history for Variable-Magic
3 0.10 2008-02-04 11:30 UTC
4 + Add : New script : samples/vm_vs_tie.pl, that benchmarks our uvar
5 magic versus tied hashes.
6 + Add : The VMG_COMPAT_* constants can be used from userspace to check
8 + Fix : Callbacks that returned undef made us croak, breaking the
9 variable behaviour (regression test in 14-callbacks.t).
10 + Fix : uvar callbacks weren't tested for non-NULL-ity before being
11 called (regression test in 28-uvar.t).
12 + Tst : Fix typo in 25-copy.t that prevented Tie::Hash tests to be ran.
14 0.09 2008-02-02 11:30 UTC
15 + Doc : Explicitely say that uvar callbacks are safely ignored for
17 + Doc : Document caveats and fix the usual set of typos.
18 + Fix : vmg_dispell() didn't check if the ext magic were ours when
19 counting wizards that have uvar callbacks, resulting in a
20 possible memory misread.
21 + Fix : getdata() now returns directly the data object, and no longer a
22 copy. This caused a leak.
23 + Tst : Prefix author tests by 9*-.
24 + Tst : New optional author test : 95-portability-files.t, that uses
25 Test::Portability::Files when it's present.
26 + Tst : New test : 14-self.t, that tests application of magic on the
28 + Tst : Move Hash::Util::FieldHash tests out of 11-multiple.t to
31 0.08 2008-02-01 16:55 UTC
32 + Add : copy magic for tied arrays/hashes.
34 + Add : uvar magics : fetch, store, exists, delete for hashes.
37 Internal development versions.
39 0.06 2007-11-20 10:10 UTC
40 + Chg : 5.7.3 is now officially required.
41 + Fix : "data" test failures on 5.8.{0,2}.
42 + Fix : Drand01() vs rand().
44 0.05 2007-11-19 09:10 UTC
45 + Fix : 5.10.0_RC1 compatibility fix.
47 0.04 2007-08-28 12:25 UTC
48 + Chg : s/require (XSLoader)/use $1/.
49 + Fix : Tests are now strict.
50 + Fix : Complete dependencies.

53 + Add : Passing the signature of an already defined magic to wizard()
54 now returns the corresponding magic object.
55 + Add : You can pass the numeric signature as the wizard argument of
56 cast(), dispell() and getdata().
57 + Add : Any argument specified after the wizard (or the signature) in a
58 call to cast() is now passed to the private data constructor in
60 + Chg : $_[0] is now always a reference to the magic variable in all
61 callbacks. The reason for changing from the previous behaviour
62 is that one may want to apply the same magic to a plain scalar
63 and to a scalar reference, and needs a way to distinguish
64 between them in the callback (say, ref()).
65 + Fix : Wizard object destruction used not to free the signature.
67 0.02 2007-07-27 13:50 UTC
68 + Fix : In response to test report 548152 :
69 Newx() and SvMAGIC_set() not present on older perls.
70 + Fix : In response to test report 548275 :
71 Since perl 5.9.5, 'clear' magic is invoked when an array is
72 undefined (bug #43357). Moreover, 'len' magic is no longer
73 called by pushing an element since perl 5.9.3.
74 + Fix : Missing glob test in MANIFEST.
