Changes for version 0.54 - 2014-09-22

  • 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.
