Changes for version 0.15 - 2015-05-14

  • 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 : The module has been taught about the new multideref optimization, and will function properly on perl 5.21.11 and above.
  • Fix : The module will no longer crash or behave erratically when it is loaded by several threads (or Windows emulated processes) ran in parallel.
  • Fix : Update the Windows ActivePerl + gcc 3.4 workaround for ExtUtils::MakeMaker 7.04. Thanks Christian Walde for reporting and feedback on this issue.
  • Fix : Be really compatible with the optional OP_PARENT feature.
  • Tst : $ENV{$Config{ldlibpthname}} is now preserved on all platforms, which will address failures of t/43-peep.t and t/51-threads-teardown.t with unusual compilers (like icc) that link all their compiled objects to their own libraries.
