+Perl 5.24.0 represents approximately 11 months of development since Perl 5.22.0
+and contains approximately 360,000 lines of changes across 1,800 files from 77
+authors.
+
+Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
+approximately 250,000 lines of changes to 1,200 .pm, .t, .c and .h files.
+

+of users and developers. The following people are known to have contributed the
+improvements that became Perl 5.24.0:

+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.
