         + Add : The new constant VMG_COMPAT_SCALAR_NOLEN evaluates to true
                 when your perl does not call 'len' magic for scalars, which
                 is the case for perl 5.17.4 and above.
                 This fixes RT #80388.
         + Tst : t/35-stash.t has been taught about perl 5.17.4.
         + Tst : Author tests overhaul.
         + Fix : It is now safe to call dispell() from inside 'free', 'copy' and
                 'uvar' callbacks to dispell the magic currently in use.
                 Thanks Clinton Gormley for reporting.
         + Fix : Exceptions thrown from inside a 'free' callback are now always
                 consistently propagated outside of the callback. They used to
                 be lost when the 'free' callback was invoked at the end of an
                 eval block or string.
         + Fix : The 'reset RMG flag' workaroundn used to allow wizards with
                 both 'uvar' and 'clear' magics to be cast onto a hash, has been
                 made thread-safe.
         + Fix : Less memory is leaked when a wizard is freed during global
                 destruction, or when an exception is thrown from a 'free'
                 callback.
         + Fix : [RT #77991] : t/17-ctl.t fails on perl 5.14 and 5.16.
                 This was actually an issue with ActivePerl, and this test
                 has learned to cope with it.
                 Thanks Gisle Aas for reporting.
         + Tst : t/35-stash.t has been taught about perl 5.17.1.
         + Doc : Many clarifications.
         This is a maintenance release. The code contains no functional change.
         Satisfied users of version 0.48 can skip this update.
         + Fix : [RT #77644] : t/17_ctl.t fails in test 44 since 5.17.0.
                 This test has been taught about perl 5.17.0.
