C<[0-9]> is the most +familiar. But there are also C<[\x{FF10}-\x{FF19}]> (FULLWIDTH DIGIT ZERO - +FULLWIDTH DIGIT NINE), and several sets for use in mathematical notation, such +as the MATHEMATICAL DOUBLE-STRUCK DIGITs. Any of these sets should be able to +appear in script runs of, say, Greek. But the previous design overlooked all +but the ASCII digits C<[0-9]>, so the design was flawed. This has been fixed, +so is both a bug fix and an incompatibility. + +All digits in a run still have to come from the same set of ten digits. + +L<[perl #133547]|https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=133547> + +=head1 Modules and Pragmata + +=head2 Updated Modules and Pragmata + +=over 4 + +=item * + +L<Module::CoreList> has been upgraded from version 5.20181129_28 to 5.20190419. + +=item * + +L<PerlIO::scalar> has been upgraded from version 0.29 to 0.30. + +=item * + +L<Storable> has been upgraded from version 3.08 to 3.08_01. + +=back + +=head1 Platform Support + +=head2 Platform-Specific Notes + +=over 4 + +=item Windows + +The Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK build, with its early x64 compiler and +tools, was accidentally broken in Perl 5.27.9.

The following people are known to have contributed +the improvements that became Perl 5.28.2: + +Aaron Crane, Abigail, Andy Dougherty, David Mitchell, Karen Etheridge, Karl +Williamson, Leon Timmermans, Nicolas R., Sawyer X, Steve Hay, Tina Müller, +Tony Cook, Zak B. Elep. + +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. + +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 perl bug database +at L<https://rt.perl.org/> . There may also be information at +L<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 perlbug@perl.org 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 see +L<perlsec/SECURITY VULNERABILITY CONTACT INFORMATION> +for details of how to report the issue. + +=head1 Give Thanks + +If you wish to thank the Perl 5 Porters for the work we had done in Perl 5, +you can do so by running the C<perlthanks> program: + + perlthanks + +This will send an email to the Perl 5 Porters list with your show of thanks. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +The F<Changes> file for an explanation of how to view exhaustive details on +what changed. + +The F<INSTALL> file for how to build Perl. + +The F<README> file for general stuff. + +The F<Artistic> and F<Copying> files for copyright information. + +=cut diff --git a/win32/pod.mak b/win32/pod.mak index 5fb1055ea6..33c71bf434 100644 --- a/win32/pod.mak +++ b/win32/pod.mak @@ -56,6 +56,7 @@ POD = perl.pod \ perl5263delta.pod \ perl5280delta.pod \ perl5281delta.pod \ + perl5282delta.pod \ perl5290delta.pod \ perl52910delta.pod \ perl5291delta.pod \ @@ -218,6 +219,7 @@ MAN = perl.man \ perl5263delta.man \ perl5280delta.man \ perl5281delta.man \ + perl5282delta.man \ perl5290delta.man \ perl52910delta.man \ perl5291delta.man \ @@ -380,6 +382,7 @@ HTML = perl.html \ perl5263delta.html \ perl5280delta.html \ perl5281delta.html \ + perl5282delta.html \ perl5290delta.html \ perl52910delta.html \ perl5291delta.html \ @@ -542,6 +545,7 @@ TEX = perl.tex \ perl5263delta.tex \ perl5280delta.tex \ perl5281delta.tex \ + perl5282delta.tex \ perl5290delta.tex \ perl52910delta.tex \ perl5291delta.tex \ |
