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.
