+ 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.

+ 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.
0.55 2014-10-20 23:45 UTC
+ Fix : [RT #99319] : t/18-opinfo.t: test failure due to change in
perl 5 blead
The new METHOP op class added in perl 5.21.5 is now supported.
Thanks James E Keenan for reporting.
0.54 2014-09-22 17:30 UTC
+ Add : The new constant VMG_COMPAT_CODE_COPY_CLONE evaluates to true
if your perl calls 'copy' magic when a magical code prototype
is cloned, which is currently the case for perl 5.17.0 and
above.
+ Fix : [RT #90205] : copy magic on subs puts raw CV in $_[3]
$_[3] will now contain a reference to the cloned code when
'copy' magic is called for a coderef.
Thanks Lukas Mai for reporting.
+ Fix : t/35-stash.t has been taught about perl 5.21.4.
+ Fix : Tests using run_perl() in t/17-ctl.t will no longer fail on
Android.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Oct 4 09:13:37 UTC 2013 - coolo@suse.com
- updated to 0.53
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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jun 10 11:00:00 UTC 2013 - coolo@suse.com
- updated to 0.52
+ 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.
+ 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.
+ 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.
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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

- updated to 0.48
+ 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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Dec 19 16:24:34 UTC 2011 - coolo@suse.de
- update to 0.47
+ 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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

- update to 0.44
+ Fix : Broken linkage on Windows with gcc 3.4, which appears in
particular when using ActivePerl's default compiler suite.
+ Tst : Threads tests are now only run on perl 5.13.4 and higher.
+ 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.

- update to version 0.43
+ 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.
