+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This document describes differences between the 5.26.0 release and the 5.27.0
+release.
+
+If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.25.0, first read
+L<perl5260delta>, which describes differences between 5.25.0 and 5.26.0.

+
+=head1 Acknowledgements
+
+Perl 5.26.1 represents approximately 0 weeks of development since Perl 5.26.0
+and contains approximately 7,200 lines of changes across 43 files from 2
+authors.
+
+Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
+approximately 72 lines of changes to 8 .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:
+
+Ricardo Signes, Sawyer X.
+
+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.

+=head1 Deprecations
+
+XXX Any deprecated features, syntax, modules etc. should be listed here.
+
+=head2 Module removals
+
+XXX Remove this section if inapplicable.
+
+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.
+
+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 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.
