- [BUGFIX] setnonblock() and getnonblock() now checks that $err is a reference.
- [BUGFIX] Merged Jean-Louis Morel patch: modification of the detection code in
Makefile.PL for Win32; fixes for compiling with Microsoft compiler;
simplification of lookupdev().
- [BUGFIX] Restored compatibility with Perl 5.6, 5.5 and 5.4
- [BUGFIX] Fixed memory leak in lookupdev().
- [BUGFIX] Some XS wrappers (compile(), dispatch(), stats()) now resets the error
string before calling the underlying functions.
- [FEATURE] Now tries to use XSLoader if available, then falls back to DynaLoader.
- [FEATURE] Improved findalldevs(). See documentation.
- [FEATURE] Added wrapper for freecode(), dump_flush(), dump_file().
- [DIST] Improved detection code in Makefile.PL.
- [TESTS] Updated t/05-dump.t, t/12-next.t in order to increase code coverage (94%).
What remains uncovered is cargo-cult defensive, hence untestable, code.
