 Revision history for Variable-Magic
 
+0.48    2012-02-17 23:40 UTC
+        + Add : You can now pass a reference to undef as the magic callback in
+                order to install a no-op callback.
+                Thanks Florian Ragwitz for the suggestion.
+
+0.47    2011-10-27 16:55 UTC
+        + Add : The new constant VMG_COMPAT_HASH_DELETE_NOUVAR_VOID evaluates
+                to true when "delete $hash{key}" does not call 'delete' uvar
+                magic in void context.
+        + Chg : The MAGIC tokens created by this module no longer use the
+                mg_private member for storing a "magical" signature.
+        + Fix : Triggering magic in a thread on a variable cloned from the main
+                interpreter, and when the wizard already went out of scope,
+                will not segfault anymore.
+        + Opt : The pointer table is no longer needed to ensure thread safety.
+                The size of the object code is about 8% smaller for threaded
+                perls.
+        + Tst : Threads tests will not fail anymore if resources constraints
+                prevent the system from creating all the required threads.
+
+0.46    2011-01-23 16:45 UTC
+        + Fix : [RT #64866] : Assertion failure with perl 5.13.9.
+                The real problem was that dispell() wasn't properly resetting
+                the magical sv flags, which became visible in the test suite
+                only with perl 5.13.9.
+                Thanks Joshua ben Jore for reporting.
+
+0.45    2010-11-21 23:15 UTC
+        This is a maintenance release. The code contains no functional change.
+        Users of 0.44 can skip this update.
+        + Doc : C++ compilers are officially NOT supported.
+        + Doc : The minimum perl 5.10.0 requirement for uvar magic has been
+                made more explicit.
+                Thanks Peter Rabbitson for pointing this out and contributing a
+                patch.
+        + Tst : Tune for perl 5.13.7.
+        + Tst : Capture::Tiny will be used in t/17-ctl.t if and only if it can
+                capture a simple run.
+
+0.44    2010-09-24 19:10 UTC
+        + Fix : Broken linkage on Windows with gcc 3.4, which appears in
+                particular when using ActivePerl's default compiler suite.
+                For those setups, the Variable::Magic shared library will now
+                be linked against the perl dll directly (instead of the import
+                library). This (should) fix RT #51483.
+                Thanks Christian Walde for helping to reproduce this failure
+                and extra testing.
+        + Rem : Support for development perls from the 5.11 branch but older
+                than the 5.11.0 release was removed. This could cause more
+                recent setups to fail.
+        + 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.
+
 0.43    2010-06-25 23:35 UTC
         + Add : The new constant VMG_COMPAT_GLOB_GET tells you whether get magic
                 is called for globs. It's true starting perl 5.13.2.
