+Version 5.003_20
+----------------
+
+The only language change in this release is the recension of support
+for named closures: Now, no subroutine declared "sub foo {}" can be
+a closure. (This is a return to the behavior of 5.003.) In addition,
+there are new warnings triggered by any apparent attempt to use named
+functions as closures.
+
+And, as usual, there are the usual little fixes, documentation
+updates, and expanded tests. This is good stuff. "I love you, man!"
