This is a maintenance release. The code contains no functional change.
Satisfied users of version 0.52 can skip this update.

Thanks dsteinbrunnerAATTpobox.com for the patch.

- 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 13:00:00 2011 cooloAATTsuse.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.

Mon Jan 24 13:00:00 2011 jwAATTnovell.com
- update to 0.46
+ Fix : [RT #64866] : Assertion failure with perl 5.13.9.

Mon Sep 27 14:00:00 2010 jwAATTnovell.com
- 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.

Only free callbacks used to be called that way.
