 Revision history for Variable-Magic
 
+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.
