Revision history for Variable-Magic
+0.64 2024-03-18 23:20 UTC
+ This is a maintenance release. The code contains no functional change.
+ Satisfied users of version 0.63 can skip this update.
+ + Add : Contributing guidelines are now listed in the new
+ CONTRIBUTING file.
+ + Fix : [RT #151104] : fix for t/18-opinfo.t broken under blead
+ Some optimization in core made t/18-opinfo.t fail since perl
+ 5.39.7, but that was reverted before 5.40 was released.
+ This fix will make this test pass even when the optimization
+ is reinstantiated after release freeze.
+ Thanks David Mitchell for reporting and providing a fix.

+0.63 2022-09-20 21:45 UTC
+ This is a maintenance release. The code contains no functional change.
+ Satisfied users of version 0.62 can skip this update.
+ + Fix : [RT #144052] : Add support for 5.37.3s PADSV_STORE optimization
+ B.pm-related tests have been taught about this new thing.
+ Thanks Richard Leach for contributing a patch.
+ + Upd : Contact info.
+
+0.62 2017-11-04 16:35 UTC
+ + Fix : [RT #123314] : Compatibility with CV-in-stash optimisation
+ Thanks Father Chrysostomos for reporting and contributing a
+ patch.
+
+0.61 2017-01-24 15:30 UTC
+ + Fix : [RT #115792] : Latest blead stack unwind work causes infloop
+ in a test.
+ A change in how the core frees temporary values after eval
+ interacted badly with Variable::Magic and caused infinite loops
+ when a free callback was attached to a wizard. This change was
+ temporarily reverted, but is going to be reinstated, and
+ Variable::Magic is now able to play nicely when this happens.
+ Thanks Peter Rabbitson for reporting and David Mitchell for
+ providing a fix.
+
+
+0.60 2016-09-06 22:30 UTC
+ + Chg : A large chunk of boilerplate XS code, which is also used in
+ other XS modules, has been factored out of the main .xs file
+ to a collection of .h files in the xsh subdirectory.
+ + Fix : [RT #128989] : Bleadperl v5.25.3-266-g1d7e644 breaks V::M.
+ Len magic is no longer called for negative array indices
+ fetches, so the relevant tests are now skipped.
+ Thanks Andreas Koenig for reporting.
+
+0.59 2015-10-05 19:05 UTC
+ + Chg : The magic callbacks are now always executed in a new stack.
+ This should have no negative impact (performance-wise or
+ behaviour-wise) on your code, but may actually fix some obscure
+ bugs.
+ + Fix : [RT #107294] : Crash during install of Variable-Magic-0.58
+ running "t\18-opinfo.t".
+ A recent change in the core implementation of transliterations
+ caused an undefined behaviour when it interacted with this
+ module, which resulted in visible stack corruption on Win32
+ perls compiled with MSVC when the op_info feature was enabled.
+ This was fixed by using a separate stack for the magic
+ callbacks.
+ Thanks Peter Stokes for reporting and providing greatly
+ helpful feedback.
+ + Fix : The object op_info feature will now handle correctly Unicode
+ transliteration, multideref and custom ops.
+
+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.
