+Perl 5.26.1 represents approximately 3 months of development since Perl 5.26.0
+and contains approximately 8,800 lines of changes across 84 files from 21
+authors.
+
+Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
+approximately 960 lines of changes to 38 .pm, .t, .c and .h files.
+
+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 5.26.1:
+
+Aaron Crane, Andy Dougherty, Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams,
+Craig A. Berry, Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker, David Mitchell, E. Choroba, Eric

+Williamson, Lukas Mai, Matthew Horsfall, Ricardo Signes, Sawyer X, Steve Hay,
+Tony Cook, Yves Orton, Zefram.
+
+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.
+
+Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules
+included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for
+helping Perl to flourish.
