=encoding utf8 =head1 NAME perl5190delta - what is new for perl v5.19.0 =head1 DESCRIPTION This document describes differences between the 5.18.0 release and the 5.19.0 release. If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.17.0, first read L, which describes differences between 5.17.0 and 5.18.0. =head1 Notice In v5.18.0, quite a few modules were marked for removal. They have now been removed. See L, below. =head1 Modules and Pragmata =head2 Updated Modules and Pragmata =over 4 =item * L has been upgraded from version 1.07 to 1.08. =item * L has been upgraded from version 2.90 to 2.91. =item * L has been upgraded from version 2.41 to 2.42. =item * L has been upgraded from version 1.32 to 1.33. =item * L has been upgraded from version 1.10 to 1.11. =back =head2 Removed Modules and Pragmata The distributions below have been removed from the core, but are still available on the CPAN. In many cases, the named distribution includes multiple modules, which are not listed individually. For a comprehensive list of removals, consult: $ corelist --dif 5.18.0 5.19.0 | grep absent =over =item Archive-Extract =item B-Lint =item CPANPLUS =item File-CheckTree =item Log-Message =item Module-Pluggable =item Object-Accessor =item Pod-LaTeX =item Term-UI =item Text-Soundex =back =head1 Acknowledgements Perl 5.19.0 represents approximately 0.2857142857 weeks of development since Perl 5.18.0 and contains approximately 52,000 lines of changes across 310 files from 6 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 5.19.0: Brian Fraser, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Karl Williamson, Nicholas Clark, Reuben Thomas, Ricardo Signes. 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 are the removal of modules no longer shipped with Perl's core. We thank those modules for their service and wish them luck in their future endeavors. For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see the F file in the Perl source distribution. =head1 Reporting Bugs If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl bug database at http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . There may also be information at http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page. If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the L 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, 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 please send it to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who will be able to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently distributed on CPAN. =head1 SEE ALSO The F file for an explanation of how to view exhaustive details on what changed.
