version 1.21; 2017-12-08

version 1.20; 2015-10-21

* update for increased specialness of OP_PUSHMARK in Perl 5.21.6
* update for distinct PADNAMELIST type in Perl 5.21.7

* bugfix: store peep chain link reliably under threads
* update tests for Perl 5.19.4's removal of the special treatment of

* doc typo fix
version 1.17; 2013-08-04
* bugfix: correct the dtrace-related macro squashing for Perls prior

* remove the bulk of the documentation from the README file
version 1.16; 2011-11-17

* document the behaviour of "alias return" in more detail
* convert .cvsignore to .gitignore
version 1.15; 2011-06-21

aelemfast and aelemfast_lex
* test compatibility with Devel::CallParser
version 1.14; 2011-04-27

mutant Perl 5.8 that has it
* test POD syntax and coverage
version 1.13; 2011-04-25

an alias{} block is an open paren
* bugfix: don't crash if an rv2cv op is built with PL_parser null

op as direct child
* bugfix: squash bogus dtrace-related macro definitions that are picked
up due to defining PERL_CORE
* switch all pp functions to internal linkage
* avoid some compiler warnings
* include .cvsignore file in distribution

GvCV() are not directly-assignable lvalues
1.11 Thu Jan 13 20:23 GMT 2011
