=head2 Magic
Several bugs have been fixed in Magic, the internal system used to implement
-features such as C<tie> and threads sharing.
+features such as C<tie>, tainting and threads sharing.
Some of the bitwise ops were not checking whether their arguments were magical
before using them. [RT #24816]
Magic is no longer invoked twice by the expression C<\&$x>
+A bug with assigning large numbers and tainting has been resolved.
+[RT #40708]
+
+A new entry has been added to the MAGIC vtable - C<svt_local>. This is used
+when copying magic to the new value during C<local>. This allows problems
+with localising shared variables.
+
+For the implementation details, see L<perlguts/Magic Virtual Tables>.
