  version 0.010; 2023-03-24
    * bugfix: interact nicely with lexical subroutines on Perl 5.17.4
      and above
    * bugfix: avoid overrunning Perl's value stack on threading Perl builds
    * bugfix: where cancellation of a lexical item is requested via
      unimportation, and a specific referent to cancel is given, don't
      cancel if the specific referent was previously set up but has been
      shadowed by a core lexical item
    * bugfix: require bugfixed version of Lexical::SealRequireHints
      (for more comprehensive coverage, for not breaking version-implied
      features, and for require argument context)
    * thread safety: use thread-safe wrap_op_checker() API to control
      op checking
    * thread safety: avoid using thread-unaware static storage to cache
      thread-specific Perl values
    * port to Perl 5.21.7 which made PADNAME a distinct type
    * update test suite to not rely on . in @INC, which is no longer
      necessarily there from Perl 5.25.7
    * port to Perl 5.33.1, which defines a PERL_VERSION_GE() macro that
      clashes with the one this module previously had
    * in a couple of tests, work around a bug in Perl 5.37.4 (which was
      fixed in Perl 5.37.5) which caused false test failures
    * in documentation and error messages, make explicit distinction
      between Lexical::Var lexical variables/subroutines and core lexical
      variables/subroutines
    * use some pad API features more cleanly
    * be more conservative about the fake referent used when constructing
      references to lexically-established scalars
    * in a test, avoid a context problem when combining is_deeply and eval
    * future-proof pad handling for the possibility of PL_comppad being
      the target pad
    * put whitespace around C string literals being pasted, for C++11
      compatibility
    * make ->unimport methods return an empty list
    * test that suppression of a lexical subroutine brings the package
      subroutine back into effect not just for calling, but also for the
      syntactic and semantic effects of prototypes
    * test with key/value array slices and key/value hash slices available
      from Perl 5.19.4
    * test that pad operations work correctly around lexical imports from
      the builtin modle available from Perl 5.35.7
    * test that pad operations work correctly around fields and $self in
      the new core class system available from Perl 5.37.9
    * test superficially the ability to operate with threads
    * test that all modules have matching version numbers
    * don't apply the fake referent workaround for buggy core checking of
      rv2Xv ops on Perl 5.21.4 and above, where the bug has been fixed
    * in test suite, suppress shadowing warnings by category, rather than
      discarding all warnings
    * no longer include a Makefile.PL in the distribution
    * in documentation, use four-column indentation for all verbatim
      material
    * in META.{yml,json}, point to public bug tracker
    * delete undocumented partially-developed functions
    * in XS declare as const some data that never changes
    * update the manipulation of read-only flags to account for the
      SVf_PROTECT introduced in Perl 5.21.5, although the only code that
      manipulates those flags isn't actually used on Perl versions new
      enough to have the new flag
    * use new names for pad API items such as PadnameOURSTASH()
    * in XS, rename some poorly-named variables and functions
    * in XS, refactor Perl version comparisons
    * in XS, better argument parenthesisation in some macros
    * avoid some compiler warnings that arise on Perl 5.6
    * rename internal gen_*_op() function into a better style
    * consistently use THX_ prefix on internal function names
