+Perl 5.17.10 represents approximately 4 weeks of development since Perl 5.17.9
+and contains approximately 77,000 lines of changes across 440 files from 42
+authors.

+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 5.17.10:

+Aaron Crane, Aaron Trevena, Andrew Tam, Andy Dougherty, Anton Nikishaev, Brad
+Gilbert, Brian Fraser, Charlie Gonzalez, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Craig A.
+Berry, Daniel Dragan, David Golden, David Mitchell, Dominic Hargreaves, Florian

+
+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.
