Revision history for Variable-Magic
+0.53 2013-09-01 17:50 UTC
+ This is a maintenance release. The code contains no functional change.
+ Satisfied users of version 0.52 can skip this update.
+ + Fix : [RT #86338] : typo fix.
+ Thanks dsteinbrunner@pobox.com for the patch.
+ + Tst : Author tests are no longer bundled with this distribution.
+ They are only made available to authors in the git repository.
+
+0.52 2012-11-05 02:30 UTC
+ + Add : The new constant VMG_COMPAT_SCALAR_NOLEN evaluates to true
+ when your perl does not call 'len' magic for scalars, which
+ is the case for perl 5.17.4 and above.
+ This fixes RT #80388.
+ + Tst : t/35-stash.t has been taught about perl 5.17.4.
+ + Tst : Author tests overhaul.
+
+0.51 2012-08-18 15:00 UTC
+ + Fix : It is now safe to call dispell() from inside 'free', 'copy' and
+ 'uvar' callbacks to dispell the magic currently in use.
+ Thanks Clinton Gormley for reporting.
+ + Fix : Exceptions thrown from inside a 'free' callback are now always
+ consistently propagated outside of the callback. They used to
+ be lost when the 'free' callback was invoked at the end of an
+ eval block or string.
+ + Fix : The 'reset RMG flag' workaroundn used to allow wizards with
+ both 'uvar' and 'clear' magics to be cast onto a hash, has been
+ made thread-safe.
+
+0.50 2012-06-24 23:00 UTC
+ + Fix : Less memory is leaked when a wizard is freed during global
+ destruction, or when an exception is thrown from a 'free'
+ callback.
+ + Fix : [RT #77991] : t/17-ctl.t fails on perl 5.14 and 5.16.
+ This was actually an issue with ActivePerl, and this test
+ has learned to cope with it.
+ Thanks Gisle Aas for reporting.
+ + Tst : t/35-stash.t has been taught about perl 5.17.1.
+ + Doc : Many clarifications.
+
+0.49 2012-06-05 21:40 UTC
+ This is a maintenance release. The code contains no functional change.
+ Satisfied users of version 0.48 can skip this update.
+ + Fix : [RT #77644] : t/17_ctl.t fails in test 44 since 5.17.0.
+ This test has been taught about perl 5.17.0.
+ Thanks Reini Urban for reporting.
+ + Tst : t/99-kwalitee.t will be skipped when only problematic versions
+ of its dependencies are available.
+
+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.
+ + Chg : All callbacks are now called within an eval-like context.
+ Only free callbacks used to be called that way.
+ + Fix : Some exceptions thrown from a free callback could be lost.
+ + Fix : Croak messages could sometimes be repeated several times.
+ + Fix : t/41-clone.t segfaulting with perl 5.13.2.
+
+0.42 2010-05-19 00:15 UTC
+ This is a maintenance release. The code contains no functional change.
+ Users of 0.41 can skip this update.
+ + Fix : Test failures with perl 5.13.
+ + Tst : Improve coverage.
+
+0.41 2010-03-15 17:35 UTC
+ + Doc : Tweaks and fixups.
+ Thanks Shlomi Fish.
+ + Fix : Compatibility with the soon-to-be-released perl 5.12.0.
+ + Fix : Correctly propagate the errors thrown when variable destruction
+ happens at compile-time and not from inside eval STRING.
+ Thanks Florian Ragwitz and Ash Berlin for reporting.
+
+0.40 2010-01-06 23:20 UTC
+ + Fix : Possible memory miswrites when passing data arguments to cast().
+ + Fix : Minor C portability tweaks.
+
0.39 2009-12-01 00:05 UTC
+ Add : You can use a function name as a callback by passing a string
reference to wizard() instead of a code reference.
