-This document describes differences between the 5.19.6 release and the 5.19.7
+This document describes differences between the 5.19.7 release and the 5.19.8
 release.
 
-If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.19.5, first read
-L<perl5196delta>, which describes differences between 5.19.5 and 5.19.6.
-
-=head1 Core Enhancements
+If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.19.6, first read
+L<perl5197delta>, which describes differences between 5.19.6 and 5.19.7.
 
-=head2 Postfix syntax for maximum array index
+=head1 Notice
 
-The postfix notation C<< ->$#* >> has been added, to match the similar
-postfix operators added in 5.19.5.  C<< $foo->$#* >> is equivalent to
-C<$#$foo>.  See L<perlref>.
+XXX Any important notices here
 
-=head1 Incompatible Changes
-
-=head2 Data::Dumper's output may change
+=head1 Core Enhancements
 
-Depending on the data structures dumped and the settings set for
-Data::Dumper, the dumped output may have changed from previous
-versions.
+XXX New core language features go here.  Summarize user-visible core language
+enhancements.  Particularly prominent performance optimisations could go
+here, but most should go in the L</Performance Enhancements> section.
 
-If you have tests that depend on the exact output of Data::Dumper,
-they may fail.
+[ List each enhancement as a =head2 entry ]
 
-To avoid this problem in your code, test against the data structure
-from evaluating the dumped structure, instead of the dump itself.
+=head1 Security

+vulnerabilities closed should be noted here rather than in the

+=head1 Deprecations
 
-L<base> has been upgraded from version 2.19 to 2.20.
+XXX Any deprecated features, syntax, modules etc. should be listed here.
 
-C<base> now only ignores load failure on the requested module. [perl
-#120685]
+=head2 Module removals
 
-=item *
+XXX Remove this section if inapplicable.
 
-L<CGI> has been upgraded from version 3.63 to 3.64.
+The following modules will be removed from the core distribution in a
+future release, and will at that time need to be installed from CPAN.
+Distributions on CPAN which require these modules will need to list them as
+prerequisites.
 
-Avoids a warning about "undefined variable in user_agent" in some cases, and
-updates L<CGI::Cookie> documentation to reflect that "HttpOnly" is widely
-supported.
+The core versions of these modules will now issue C<"deprecated">-category
+warnings to alert you to this fact.  To silence these deprecation warnings,
+install the modules in question from CPAN.
 
-NOTE: L<CGI> is deprecated and may be removed from a future version of Perl.
+Note that these are (with rare exceptions) fine modules that you are encouraged
+to continue to use.  Their disinclusion from core primarily hinges on their
+necessity to bootstrapping a fully functional, CPAN-capable Perl installation,
+not usually on concerns over their design.

-L<Data::Dumper> has been upgraded from version 2.149 to 2.150.
+XXX Changes which enhance performance without changing behaviour go here.
+There may well be none in a stable release.
 
-Regular expression objects are now dumped in a form closer to their
-original source, eg. C< qr/abc/i > is dumped as exactly that instead of
-C< qr/(?^i:abc)/ >. [perl #82948]
+[ List each enhancement as a =item entry ]
 
-Dumping of hash keys is now more consistent between the XS and perl
-implementations of L<Data::Dumper>, including how the C<quotekeys>
-option behaves.  This may make tests that depend on the exact output
-of Data::Dumper to fail. [perl #120384]

-The C<sv> argument in L<perlapi/sv_2pv_flags>, L<perlapi/sv_2iv_flags>,
-L<perlapi/sv_2uv_flags>, and L<perlapi/sv_2nv_flags> and their older wrappers
-sv_2pv, sv_2iv, sv_2uv, sv_2nv, is now non-NULL. Passing NULL now will crash.
-When the non-NULL marker was introduced en masse in 5.9.3 the functions
-were marked non-NULL, but since the creation of the SV API in 5.0 alpha 2, if
-NULL was passed, the functions returned 0 or false-type values. The code that
-supports C<sv> argument being non-NULL dates to 5.0 alpha 2 directly, and
-indirectly to Perl 1.0 (pre 5.0 api). The lack of documentation that the
-functions accepted a NULL C<sv> was corrected in 5.11.0 and between 5.11.0
-and 5.19.5 the functions were marked NULLOK. As an optimization the NULLOK code
-has now been removed, and the functions became non-NULL marked again, because
-core getter-type macros never pass NULL to these functions and would crash
-before ever passing NULL.
-
-The only way a NULL C<sv> can be passed to sv_2*v* functions is if XS code
-directly calls sv_2*v*. This is unlikely as XS code uses Sv*V* macros to get
-the underlying value out of the SV. One possible situation which leads to
-a NULL C<sv> being passed to sv_2*v* functions, is if XS code defines its own
-getter type Sv*V* macros, which check for NULL B<before> dereferencing and
-checking the SV's flags through public API Sv*OK* macros or directly using
-private API C<SvFLAGS>, and if C<sv> is NULL, then calling the sv_2*v functions
-with a NULL litteral or passing the C<sv> containing a NULL value.
