+Perl 5.24.3 represents approximately 2 months of development since Perl 5.24.2
+and contains approximately 3,100 lines of changes across 120 files from 20
+authors.

+Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
+approximately 1,500 lines of changes to 56 .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 5.24.3:
+
+Aaron Crane, Craig A. Berry, Dan Collins, Daniel Dragan, Dave Cross, David
+Mitchell, Eric Herman, Father Chrysostomos, H.Merijn Brand, Hugo van der
+Sanden, James E Keenan, Jarkko Hietaniemi, Karl Williamson, Lukas Mai, Matthew
+Horsfall, Stevan Little, Steve Hay, Steven Humphrey, Tony Cook, Yves Orton.
+
+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.
