  • Updated perl-Variable-Magic to 0.57:

    • 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: Segfaults when the module is loaded by several threads (or Windows emulated processes) ran in parallel
    • Fix: Segfaults when the module is loaded in a thread, which spawns itself a new thread, and that child thread outlives its parent
    • Fix: Small memory leaks of structures required for thread safety

    • Fix: Update the Windows ActivePerl + gcc 3.4 workaround for ExtUtils::MakeMaker 7.04

    • Test: The global destruction test will now be exercised on any perl that has DEBUGGING set

    • Test: Optional capturing tests in t/17-ctl.t that were only run when Capture::Tiny was present were converted to an IPC::Open3 based helper and will now be run everywhere
