Changelog for perl-Variable-Magic-0.63-5.2.i586.rpm :

* Wed Sep 21 2022 Tina Müller - updated to 0.63 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Variable-Magic/Changes 0.63 2022-09-20 21:45 UTC This is a maintenance release. The code contains no functional change. Satisfied users of version 0.62 can skip this update. + Fix : [RT #144052] : Add support for 5.37.3s PADSV_STORE optimization B.pm-related tests have been taught about this new thing. Thanks Richard Leach for contributing a patch. + Upd : Contact info.
* Sun Nov 05 2017 cooloAATTsuse.com- updated to 0.62 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Variable-Magic/Changes 0.62 2017-11-04 16:35 UTC + Fix : [RT #123314] : Compatibility with CV-in-stash optimisation Thanks Father Chrysostomos for reporting and contributing a patch.
* Tue Feb 14 2017 cooloAATTsuse.com- updated to 0.61 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Variable-Magic/Changes 0.61 2017-01-24 15:30 UTC + Fix : [RT #115792] : Latest blead stack unwind work causes infloop in a test. A change in how the core frees temporary values after eval interacted badly with Variable::Magic and caused infinite loops when a free callback was attached to a wizard. This change was temporarily reverted, but is going to be reinstated, and Variable::Magic is now able to play nicely when this happens. Thanks Peter Rabbitson for reporting and David Mitchell for providing a fix.
* Wed Sep 07 2016 cooloAATTsuse.com- updated to 0.60 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Variable-Magic/Changes 0.60 2016-09-06 22:30 UTC + Chg : A large chunk of boilerplate XS code, which is also used in other XS modules, has been factored out of the main .xs file to a collection of .h files in the xsh subdirectory. + Fix : [RT #128989] : Bleadperl v5.25.3-266-g1d7e644 breaks V::M. Len magic is no longer called for negative array indices fetches, so the relevant tests are now skipped. Thanks Andreas Koenig for reporting.
* Tue Oct 06 2015 cooloAATTsuse.com- updated to 0.59 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Variable-Magic/Changes 0.59 2015-10-05 19:05 UTC + Chg : The magic callbacks are now always executed in a new stack. This should have no negative impact (performance-wise or behaviour-wise) on your code, but may actually fix some obscure bugs. + Fix : [RT #107294] : Crash during install of Variable-Magic-0.58 running \"t\\18-opinfo.t\". A recent change in the core implementation of transliterations caused an undefined behaviour when it interacted with this module, which resulted in visible stack corruption on Win32 perls compiled with MSVC when the op_info feature was enabled. This was fixed by using a separate stack for the magic callbacks. Thanks Peter Stokes for reporting and providing greatly helpful feedback. + Fix : The object op_info feature will now handle correctly Unicode transliteration, multideref and custom ops.
* Wed Jul 22 2015 cooloAATTsuse.com- updated to 0.58 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Variable-Magic/Changes 0.58 2015-07-21 16:00 UTC + 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.
* Fri Apr 17 2015 cooloAATTsuse.com- updated to 0.57 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Variable-Magic/Changes 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.
* Tue Apr 14 2015 cooloAATTsuse.com- updated to 0.56 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Variable-Magic/Changes 0.56 2015-03-11 15:15 UTC + 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 04 2013 cooloAATTsuse.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 dsteinbrunnerAATTpobox.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 2013 cooloAATTsuse.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.
