| perl5162delta - what is new for perl v5.16.2 | |
| =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
| This document describes differences between the 5.16.1 release and | |
| the 5.16.2 release. | |
| If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.16.0, first read | |
| L<perl5161delta>, which describes differences between 5.16.0 and | |
| 5.16.1. | |
| =head1 Incompatible Changes | |
| There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.16.0 | |
| If any exist, they are bugs, and we request that you submit a | |
| report. See L</Reporting Bugs> below. | |

| =head2 Platform-Specific Notes | |
| =over 4 | |
| =item AIX | |
| Configure now always adds -qlanglvl=extc99 to the CC flags on AIX when | |
| using xlC. This will make it easier to compile a number of XS-based modules | |
| that assume C99 [perl #113778]. | |

| =item * fix /\h/ equivalence with /[\h]/ | |

| =head1 Acknowledgements | |
| Perl 5.16.2 represents approximately 2 months of development since Perl | |
| 5.16.1 and contains approximately 740 lines of changes across 20 files | |
| from 9 authors. | |
| Perl continues to flourish into its third decade thanks to a vibrant | |
| community of users and developers. The following people are known to | |
| have contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.16.2: | |
| Andy Dougherty, Craig A. Berry, Darin McBride, Dominic Hargreaves, Karen | |
| Etheridge, Karl Williamson, Peter Martini, Ricardo Signes, Tony Cook. | |
| The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically | |
| generated from version control history. In particular, it does not | |
| include the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who | |
| reported issues to the Perl bug tracker. | |
| For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, | |
| please see the F<AUTHORS> file in the Perl source distribution. | |
| =head1 Reporting Bugs | |
| If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles | |
| recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl | |
| bug database at http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . There may also be | |
| information at http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page. | |
| If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the L<perlbug> | |
| program included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down | |
| to a tiny but sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the | |
| output of C<perl -V>, will be sent off to [email protected] to be | |
| analysed by the Perl porting team. | |
| If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it | |
| inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please | |
| send it to [email protected]. This points to a closed | |
| subscription unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core | |
| committers, who will be able to help assess the impact of issues, figure | |
| out a resolution, and help co-ordinate the release of patches to | |
| mitigate or fix the problem across all platforms on which Perl is | |
| supported. Please only use this address for security issues in the Perl | |
| core, not for modules independently distributed on CPAN. | |
