Use octal numbers in error messages for CORE subroutines taking a "mode" parameter, e.g. mkdir and chmod (GH#65, GH#66)
Allow wrappers for CORE::exec and CORE::system to be reused as they are not dependent on the calling package
Avoid hard-coded directory separator in t/system.t (GH#62)
Add missing "require autodie" in import-into test and ensure Import::Into remains an optional test dependency
Travis: set "sudo: false" to gain access to the Travis container based infrastructure

Fixed a bug with stack handling in the XS code (GH#5)
Fixed use of inlining in the XS code to work when "gcc -std=c89" is specified (GH#6)
Previously, Params::Validate would eagerly stringify all values it was validating, even though this stringification was only needed for error messages that are used when a parameter fails; for objects that overload stringification and do real work, this added an unnecessary slowdown, so stringification is now delayed until it is needed (CPAN RT#105326)

Allow xs level enter/leave hooks via CoroAPI
Updated perl-Data-Visitor (0.30) not to pull in Data::Alias for the test suite in Perl 5.22+ as it's broken there (CPAN RT#100944)
