+The \f(CWreadpipe()\fR built-in function now checks at compile time that it has only

+doesn't corrupt the stack at runtime.

+.SH Acknowledgements
+.IX Header "Acknowledgements"
+Perl 5.24.4 represents approximately 7 months of development since Perl 5.24.3
+and contains approximately 2,400 lines of changes across 49 files from 12
+authors.
+.PP
+Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
+approximately 1,300 lines of changes to 12 .pm, .t, .c and .h files.
+.PP
+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 5.24.4:
+.PP
+Abigail, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, John SJ Anderson, Karen Etheridge, Karl
+Williamson, Renee Baecker, Sawyer X, Steve Hay, Todd Rinaldo, Tony Cook, Yves
+Orton, Zefram.
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+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.
+.PP
+For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see
+the \fIAUTHORS\fR file in the Perl source distribution.
+.SH "Reporting Bugs"
+.IX Header "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
+<https://rt.perl.org/> . There may also be information at
+<http://www.perl.org/> , the Perl Home Page.
+.PP
+If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the 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 \f(CW\*(C`perl \-V\*(C'\fR,
+will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be analysed by the Perl porting team.
+.PP
+If the bug you are reporting has security implications which make it
+inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then see
+"SECURITY VULNERABILITY CONTACT INFORMATION" in perlsec
+for details of how to report the issue.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
