 Revision history for Variable-Magic
 
+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.
