+0.79_51 2015-02-28 nicholas
+ * as of 5.20.0, s/// is no longer a reliable test for OOK [CPAN #95493]
+
+0.79_50 2015-02-28 nicholas
+ patches from Zefram:
+ * wrong test for magicalness [CPAN #88180]

+
+0.78_52 2013-05-10 nicholas
+ * Fix the bug in the previous fix. Oops :-)
+
+0.78_51 2013-05-10 nicholas
+ * v5.17.1 and later handle CopSTASH differently under ithreads
+
+0.78_50 2013-05-10 nicholas
+ * Alternative test for CvOUTSIDE, and one for CvPADLIST
+ * v5.17 changes the type of PADLIST [CPAN #83904]
+ * stubbed subs no longer have CvOUTSIDE set [CPAN #77913]
+ * Fix for v5.17.2's OP slab allocator [CPAN #83903]
+ * Spelling fix to docs from gregor herrmann [CPAN #78766]
+
+0.78 2012-07-26 nicholas
+ [no changes]
+
+0.77_51 2012-07-17 nicholas
+ * Fix for MSVC builds from bulk 88 [CPAN #77589]
+
+0.77_50 2012-02-10 nicholas
+ * t/globs.t was failing on 5.15.6 and later due to side effects of a change
+ to strict.pm [CPAN #73998]
+ * skip tests in t/magic.t that use formline on 5.8.1 and 5.8.2, as those
+ versions have a buggy formline that can trigger an assertion failure.
+
+0.77 2011-05-16 nicholas
+ [no changes]
+
+0.76_50 2011-05-12 nicholas
+ * Split out HEK size calculation into hek_size(). Add the shared HE overhead.
+ * Handle shared hash key scalars correctly.
+ * GvNAME() is shared from 5.10 onwards.
+ * Count HvNAME(), the HV "aux" struct, the mro_meta struct, and ENAMEs.
+
+0.76 2011-05-11 nicholas
+ * Just fix the version number in the line below.
+
+0.75_52 2011-05-09 nicholas
+ * Use a table for SV body sizes. These incorporate the space saving post 5.8.x
+ * Correctly handle SvOOK scalars. 5.12 and later don't use SvIVX().
+ * Magic vtables aren't freed when magic is freed, so don't count them.
+ (They are static structures. Anything that assumes otherwise is buggy.)
+ * Reinstate 5.6.x "support". (i.e. it compiles and passes tests.)
+ * Reinstate 5.005_xx "support". (i.e. it compiles and passes tests.)
+
+0.75_51 2011-05-05 nicholas
+ * Only use a static array of vtables on gcc.
+
+0.75_50 2011-05-04 nicholas
+ * The core's magic vtables are global constants, so aren't part of the size.
+ * Follow mg_obj and mg_ptr.
+
+0.75 2011-05-04 nicholas
+ [no changes]
+
+0.74_53 2011-05-01 nicholas
+ * Fix typo error in bit-vector tracking mechanism. On 64 bit platforms which
+ allocate on 8 byte alignment (rather than 16), a low pointer bit could get
+ lost, resulting in new pointers being considered already "seen".
+ "Found" by BinGOs' smoker, fixed on spectre.mongueurs.net. Thanks.
+
+0.74_52 2011-04-23 nicholas
+ * Fix potential SEGVs for OP_AELEMFAST on a lexical (eg $foo[3])
+ * Fix likely SEGVs for PVOPs (missing break)
+ * Fix potential SEGVs for PVBMs on 5.10 and later
+ * Move hash and array traversal from total_size() to sv_size()
+ - this allows total_size() and size() to be XS ALIASes.
+
+0.74_51 2011-04-22 nicholas
+ * Don't count PL_sv_{undef,no,yes} in the size returned
+ * total_size() was double-counting entries in typeglobs
+ * sv_size() was double-counting the PVGV size if GvEGV() looped back
+ * fix classic off-by-one error - the answer is strlen() + 1, not just strlen()
+
+0.74_50 2011-04-19 nicholas
+ * Ensure that size() doesn't add the referent's size for non SVt_RV references
+
+0.74 2011-04-19 nicholas
+ * Correct the Makefile.PL - LICENSE was added to ExtUtils::MakeMaker in 6.31
+
+0.73_51 2011-04-17 nicholas
+ * Refactor the C code to accumulate the size inside the tracking structure
+ - this means that the C *_size() functions now return void
+ - The XS functions size() and total_size() now return UV, not IV
+
+0.73_50 2011-04-17 nicholas
+ * Avoid using assert() on ithreaded 5.8.8 and earlier, as it needs my_perl
+ * Fix the test added in 0.73, as it tripped over a combination of bugs
+
+0.73 2011-04-16 nicholas
+ * Revert a bad assertion introduced in 0.72_50, which was logically wrong.
+ - and a test to demonstrate one case that would trigger it
+
+0.72_52 2011-04-15 nicholas
+ * Add a test for the non-exceptional warnings.
+
+0.72_51 2011-04-15 nicholas
+ * Add PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT to improve performance under multiplicity
+
+0.72_50 2011-04-14 nicholas
+ * Exception handling is totally MSVC specific, so only use it there
+ - this means that we don't need to use a C++ compiler anywhere
+ * Rework bit-vector tracking mechanism to use a 256-way tree. This avoids
+ making assumptions about 64-bit platforms' memory layouts, and eliminates
+ the fatal error introduced in 0.72 when the assumption was violated.
+ * Convert to XSLoader
+ * Resolve CPAN #49437 (Devel::Size adds magic in Perl 5.10)
+ * Resolve CPAN #58484 and #58485 (related to CVs that are XSUBs)
+
+0.72 2008-10-14 BrowserUk 70 tests
+ * Added bit-vector pointer tracking mechanism.
+ - new fatal error (64-bit platforms only)
+ * Added exception handling
+ - 4 new warnings (disabled by default)
+ * Updated POD to reflect above
+ * Added basic.t test 13
+ * replaced Module::Install with hand crafted EU::MM Makefile.pl
+ (With many thanks to Sisyphus)
+ because we couldn't work out how to add C++ options to allow
+ exception handling.
+
+0.71 2008-08-24 Tels 69 tests
+ * adapt patch from Reini Urban to fix failing RV under 5.10 and 5.11. AV
+ and HV were pushed directly onto the pending_array, and not the RV,
+ which caused #33530. So he rewrote the logic to deref the RV inside
+ the array traversal. Applied this with one small omission, which
+ caused test faiures.
+ * Fixed 5.11 RV/IV logic. (Thanx Reini Urban!)
+ * Removed one duplicate total_size arrayref test. (Thanx Reini Urban!)
+ * changed //printf to dbg_printf() (Thanx Reini again!)
