1.02     2014-07-26

- Added instructions for installing libmagic.so and magic.h to the POD and
  INSTALL.md file. Requested by Gabor Szabo. RT #97391.

- Switched from using Devel::CheckLib to Config::AutoConf with the hope that
  the latter will work with more compilers. Requested by Jens Rehsack. RT
  #46543.

- Switched the primary git repo to github
  (https://github.com/autarch/File-LibMagic).


1.01     2014-05-04

- Fixed repository metadata. Reported by Jens Rehsack. RT #89200.

- A File::LibMagic object would not close one of the handles it might have
  opened, leading to leaks. Reported by Alexander Zaitsev. RT #93512.


1.00     2013-09-02

- Don't get all excited about this being 1.00. It's just what comes after
  0.99.

- The checktype_contents() and describe_contents() methods now accept a scalar
  ref in addition to a plain scalar. RT #28747.


0.99     2013-08-26

- More test changes to try to get tests passing on midnightbsd.


0.98     2013-08-25

- Fix test failures on midnightbsd (I hope) by relaxing a MIME type check in
  one of the tests.


0.97     2013-06-23

- Updated to the latest Devel::CheckLib, which should fix error reported by
  Perl 5.18 against the old CheckLib we were shipping. Reported by Dominic. RT
  #85210.

- We no longer link against libz, since this module doesn't need it. Reported
  by Ansgar Burchardt. RT #56479.

- Fixed tests to work with the latest libmagic. Patch by Gregor Herrmann. RT
  #75457.

- Attempted to make the tests work with various versions of libmagic. Please
  report failures and your file/libmagic package versions.

      more experiments

0.87     2008-05-18
      experimenting with magic_buffer_offset

0.86     2008-05-18
      'file' version 4.24 returns slightly different filetypes.
      this makes 'make test' fail. fixed it for the new 
      version. But I'm afraid this breaks the 'make test' for
      older versions of the package 'file'.

0.85     2007-08-28
