Upstream changes:
0.31 2009-02-19 23:50 UTC
+ Doc : A somewhat better introduction. The FUNCTION section was moved
before CONSTANTS and HISTORY since it's more important. And
'assignation' is really 'assignment', says Ricardo. :)
+ Fix : The op_info features are now thread safe.
+ Fix : Segfaults that occured when trying to get the op name during
global destruction.
+ Fix : Segfaults and wrong "Unknown error" exceptions that \
happened
when dieing in require caused a free callback to fire.
Thanks Florian Ragwitz for reporting.

+ Add : You can now get in all the callbacks either the name or a B::OP
object representing the current op if you pass the new 'op_info'
option to wizard() with respective values VMG_OP_INFO_NAME and
VMG_OP_INFO_OBJECT.
+ Doc : Document magic on array/hashes values.
+ Fix : Completely skip free callbacks during global destruction.
+ Tst : Tests now pass again on 5.8.3 and lower (they were broken since
0.27).
+ Tst : Test magic on symbol table and on array/hash values.
0.29 2009-02-08 11:10 UTC
+ Add : Set $_[2] to the default length for len magic on scalars.
+ Chg : Perl 5.8 is required.
+ Chg : The CLONE method will no longer be defined for non-threaded
perls.
+ Doc : Nits.
+ Fix : The logic for turning off the GMAGICAL flag on hashes when no
uvar magic is involved could do nasty things on tied hashes.
+ Upd : More resources in META.yml.
0.28 2009-01-24 17:05 UTC
+ Add : The 'copy_key' option to wizard(), that enables the safe edition
of $_[2] in uvar callbacks to redirect actions to another key.
+ Fix : Exception objects thrown from callbacks at compile time were not
available in $@.
+ Fix : free callbacks triggered during global destruction could lead to
segfaults because the wizard was already freed.
+ Fix : Refcount of scalars with free callback.
+ Fix : Segfaults when using get or uvar magic simultaneously with clear
magic.
+ Doc : The documentation about what the callbacks take and should
return is now somewhat clearer.
