Revision history for Variable-Magic
+0.58 2015-07-21 16:00 UTC
+ + Add : If a non-len magic callback returns a reference, it will now
+ only be freed at the end of the statement that caused the
+ magic to trigger. This allows the user to attach free magic
+ (or a plain destructor) to a token returned from the callbacks
+ in order to defer an action after the magic is processed by
+ perl.
+ + Fix : Test failures of threads tests on systems with harsh resource
+ constraints causing the threads to exit() during run.
+
+0.57 2015-04-17 15:20 UTC
+ + Chg : The new environment variable to enable thread tests on older
+ perls is PERL_FORCE_TEST_THREADS. Note that this variable
+ should only be turned on by authors.
+ + Fix : Segfaults when the module is loaded by several threads (or
+ Windows emulated processes) ran in parallel.
+ + Fix : Segfaults when the module is loaded in a thread, which spawns
+ itself a new thread, and that child thread outlives its parent.
+ + Fix : Small memory leaks of structures required for thread safety.
+ + Fix : Update the Windows ActivePerl + gcc 3.4 workaround for
+ ExtUtils::MakeMaker 7.04. Thanks Christian Walde for reporting
+ and feedback on this issue.
+ + Tst : The global destruction test will now be exercised on any perl
+ that has DEBUGGING set.
+ + Tst : Optional capturing tests in t/17-ctl.t that were only run when
+ Capture::Tiny was present were converted to an IPC::Open3
+ based helper and will now be run everywhere.
+
+0.56 2015-03-11 15:15 UTC
+ + Fix : [RT #101410] : Install fails in blead
+ Even though the change that caused this error was reverted from
+ blead, lvalue uses of ERRSV have been removed from this module
+ so that there will be no breakage when this change is possibly
+ reintroduced in the following months.
+ Thanks Dave Rolsky for reporting.
+ + Tst : $ENV{$Config{ldlibpthname}} is now preserved on all platforms,
+ which will address failures of t/17-ctl.t with unusual
+ compilers (like icc) that link all their compiled objects to
+ their own libraries.
+ + Tst : The global destruction test is now only run on perl 5.13.4 and
+ higher, and only if either Perl::Destruct::Level is installed
+ or PERL_DESTRUCT_LEVEL is set and the perl is a debugging perl.
+ This will solve rare crashes of t/15-self.t on perl 5.13.3 and
+ older.
+
+0.55 2014-10-20 23:45 UTC
+ + Fix : [RT #99319] : t/18-opinfo.t: test failure due to change in
+ perl 5 blead
+ The new METHOP op class added in perl 5.21.5 is now supported.
+ Thanks James E Keenan for reporting.
+
+0.54 2014-09-22 17:30 UTC
+ + Add : The new constant VMG_COMPAT_CODE_COPY_CLONE evaluates to true
+ if your perl calls 'copy' magic when a magical code prototype
+ is cloned, which is currently the case for perl 5.17.0 and
+ above.
+ + Fix : [RT #90205] : copy magic on subs puts raw CV in $_[3]
+ $_[3] will now contain a reference to the cloned code when
+ 'copy' magic is called for a coderef.
+ Thanks Lukas Mai for reporting.
+ + Fix : t/35-stash.t has been taught about perl 5.21.4.
+ + Fix : Tests using run_perl() in t/17-ctl.t will no longer fail on
+ Android.
