Changes for version 0.13 - 2014-10-04

  • This release contains a change that, while being very likely to be safe, can potentially cause freezes during code compilation. Every release should be carefully tested before being put in production, but this is especially true for this one.
  • Add : Support for the PERL_OP_PARENT optional feature introduced in perl 5.21.2.
  • Doc : The CAVEATS section now warns about the global slowdown during compilation caused by this pragma.
  • Fix : [RT #97703] : Android support t/51-threads-teardown.t will no longer fail on Android. Thanks Brian Fraser for reporting.
  • Fix : Segfaults in eval in an END block of a Win32 pseudo-fork.
  • Fix : Segfaults during global destruction of a thread or a pseudo-fork.
  • Opt : The global slowdown caused by this module has been greatly reduced. Thanks Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason for reporting and testing the change.
