Revision history for List::Util

1.46_03 - 2016-08-23
  - also load old XS code for 1.45_xx versions

1.46_02 - 2016-08-23
  - additional diagnostic test
  - don't throw errors when old XS fails to load if there is a PP implementation
  - do a better job setting up @Scalar::Util::EXPORT_FAIL
  - avoid loading DynaLoader when possible
  - cope better with old Scalar::Util that had a PP implementation
  - if List::Util::XS is lacking a sub, use the implementation from
    List::Util::PP.

1.46_01 - 2016-08-18
  - List::Util has been split out from Scalar-List-Utils as a pure-perl module,
    optionally using List::Util::XS
  - fix tests under ancient Test::More
