+.SH NAME
+perl5300delta \- what is new for perl v5.30.0
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+This document describes differences between the 5.28.0 release and the 5.30.0
+release.
+.PP
+If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.26.0, first read
+perl5280delta, which describes differences between 5.26.0 and 5.28.0.
+.SH Notice
+.IX Header "Notice"
+sv_utf8_(downgrade|decode) are no longer marked as experimental.
+[GH #16822] <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/16822>.
+.SH "Core Enhancements"
+.IX Header "Core Enhancements"
+.SS "Limited variable length lookbehind in regular expression pattern matching is now experimentally supported"
+.IX Subsection "Limited variable length lookbehind in regular expression pattern matching is now experimentally supported"
+Using a lookbehind assertion (like \f(CW\*(C`(?<=foo?)\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`(?<!ba{1,9}r)\*(C'\fR previously
+would generate an error and refuse to compile.  Now it compiles (if the
+maximum lookbehind is at most 255 characters), but raises a warning in
+the new \f(CW\*(C`experimental::vlb\*(C'\fR warnings category.  This is to caution you
+that the precise behavior is subject to change based on feedback from
+use in the field.
+.PP
+See "(?<=pattern)" in perlre and "(?<!pattern)" in perlre.
+.ie n .SS "The upper limit ""n"" specifiable in a regular expression quantifier of the form ""{m,n}"" has been doubled to 65534"
+.el .SS "The upper limit \f(CW""n""\fP specifiable in a regular expression quantifier of the form \f(CW""{m,n}""\fP has been doubled to 65534"
+.IX Subsection "The upper limit ""n"" specifiable in a regular expression quantifier of the form ""{m,n}"" has been doubled to 65534"
+The meaning of an unbounded upper quantifier \f(CW"{m,}"\fR remains unchanged.
+It matches 2**31 \- 1 times on most platforms, and more on ones where a C
+language short variable is more than 4 bytes long.
+.SS "Unicode 12.1 is supported"
+.IX Subsection "Unicode 12.1 is supported"
+Because of a change in Unicode release cycles, Perl jumps from Unicode
+10.0 in Perl 5.28 to Unicode 12.1 in Perl 5.30.
+.PP
+For details on the Unicode changes, see
+<https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode11.0.0/> for 11.0;
+<https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode12.0.0/> for 12.0;
+and
+<https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode12.1.0/> for 12.1.
+(Unicode 12.1 differs from 12.0 only in the addition of a single
+character, that for the new Japanese era name.)
+.PP
+The Word_Break property, as in past Perl releases, remains tailored to
+behave more in line with expectations of Perl users.  This means that
+sequential runs of horizontal white space characters are not broken
+apart, but kept as a single run.  Unicode 11 changed from past versions
+to be more in line with Perl, but it left several white space characters
+as causing breaks: TAB, NO BREAK SPACE, and FIGURE SPACE (U+2007).  We
+have decided to continue to use the previous Perl tailoring with regards
+to these.
+.SS "Wildcards in Unicode property value specifications are now partially supported"
+.IX Subsection "Wildcards in Unicode property value specifications are now partially supported"
+You can now do something like this in a regular expression pattern
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& qr! \ep{nv= /(?x) \eA [0\-5] \ez / }!
+.Ve
+.PP
+which matches all Unicode code points whose numeric value is
+between 0 and 5 inclusive.  So, it could match the Thai or Bengali
+digits whose numeric values are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
+.PP
+This marks another step in implementing the regular expression features
+the Unicode Consortium suggests.
+.PP
+Most properties are supported, with the remainder planned for 5.32.
+Details are in "Wildcards in Property Values" in perlunicode.
+.SS "qr'\eN{name}' is now supported"
+.IX Subsection "qr'N{name}' is now supported"
+Previously it was an error to evaluate a named character \f(CW\*(C`\eN{...}\*(C'\fR
+within a single quoted regular expression pattern (whose evaluation is
+deferred from the normal place).  This restriction is now removed.
+.SS "Turkic UTF\-8 locales are now seamlessly supported"
+.IX Subsection "Turkic UTF-8 locales are now seamlessly supported"
+Turkic languages have different casing rules than other languages for
+the characters \f(CW"i"\fR and \f(CW"I"\fR.  The uppercase of \f(CW"i"\fR is LATIN
+CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE (U+0130); and the lowercase of \f(CW"I"\fR is LATIN
+SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I (U+0131).  Unicode furnishes alternate casing
+rules for use with Turkic languages.  Previously, Perl ignored these,
+but now, it uses them when it detects that it is operating under a
+Turkic UTF\-8 locale.
+.SS "It is now possible to compile perl to always use thread-safe locale operations."
+.IX Subsection "It is now possible to compile perl to always use thread-safe locale operations."
+Previously, these calls were only used when the perl was compiled to be
+multi-threaded.  To always enable them, add
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& \-Accflags=\*(Aq\-DUSE_THREAD_SAFE_LOCALE\*(Aq
+.Ve
+.PP
+to your \fIConfigure\fR flags.
+.SS "Eliminate opASSIGN macro usage from core"
+.IX Subsection "Eliminate opASSIGN macro usage from core"
+This macro is still defined but no longer used in core
+.ie n .SS """\-Drv"" now means something on ""\-DDEBUGGING"" builds"
+.el .SS "\f(CW\-Drv\fP now means something on \f(CW\-DDEBUGGING\fP builds"
+.IX Subsection "-Drv now means something on -DDEBUGGING builds"
+Now, adding the verbose flag (\f(CW\*(C`\-Dv\*(C'\fR) to the \f(CW\*(C`\-Dr\*(C'\fR flag turns on all
+possible regular expression debugging.
+.SH "Incompatible Changes"
+.IX Header "Incompatible Changes"
+.ie n .SS "Assigning non-zero to $[ is fatal"
+.el .SS "Assigning non-zero to \f(CW$[\fP is fatal"
+.IX Subsection "Assigning non-zero to $[ is fatal"
+Setting \f(CW$[\fR to a non-zero value has been deprecated since
+Perl 5.12 and now throws a fatal error.
+See "Assigning non-zero to \f(CW$[\fR is fatal" in perldeprecation.
+.SS "Delimiters must now be graphemes"
+.IX Subsection "Delimiters must now be graphemes"
+See "Use of unassigned code point or non-standalone grapheme
+for a delimiter." in perldeprecation
+.ie n .SS "Some formerly deprecated uses of an unescaped left brace ""{"" in regular expression patterns are now illegal"
+.el .SS "Some formerly deprecated uses of an unescaped left brace \f(CW""{""\fP in regular expression patterns are now illegal"
+.IX Subsection "Some formerly deprecated uses of an unescaped left brace ""{"" in regular expression patterns are now illegal"
+But to avoid breaking code unnecessarily, most instances that issued a
+deprecation warning, remain legal and now have a non-deprecation warning
+raised.  See "Unescaped left braces in regular expressions" in perldeprecation.
+.SS "Previously deprecated \fBsysread()\fP/\fBsyswrite()\fP on :utf8 handles is now fatal"
+.IX Subsection "Previously deprecated sysread()/syswrite() on :utf8 handles is now fatal"
+Calling \fBsysread()\fR, \fBsyswrite()\fR, \fBsend()\fR or \fBrecv()\fR on a \f(CW\*(C`:utf8\*(C'\fR handle,
+whether applied explicitly or implicitly, is now fatal.  This was
+deprecated in perl 5.24.
+.PP
+There were two problems with calling these functions on \f(CW\*(C`:utf8\*(C'\fR
+handles:
+.IP \(bu 4
+All four functions only paid attention to the \f(CW\*(C`:utf8\*(C'\fR flag.  Other
+layers were completely ignored, so a handle with
+\&\f(CW:encoding(UTF\-16LE)\fR layer would be treated as UTF\-8.  Other layers,
+such as compression are completely ignored with or without the
+\&\f(CW\*(C`:utf8\*(C'\fR flag.
+.IP \(bu 4
+\&\fBsysread()\fR and \fBrecv()\fR would read from the handle, skipping any
+validation by the layers, and do no validation of their own.  This
+could lead to invalidly encoded perl scalars.

+fully qualified, \fIi.e.\fR, \f(CWCORE::dump()\fR.
+.PP
+[GH #16719] <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/16719>.
+.SS "Remove \fBFile::Glob::glob()\fP"
+.IX Subsection "Remove File::Glob::glob()"
+The \f(CWFile::Glob::glob()\fR function, long deprecated, has been removed and now
+throws an exception which advises use of \f(CWFile::Glob::bsd_glob()\fR instead.
+.PP
+[GH #16721] <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/16721>.
+.ie n .SS "pack() no longer can return malformed UTF\-8"
+.el .SS "\f(CWpack()\fP no longer can return malformed UTF\-8"
+.IX Subsection "pack() no longer can return malformed UTF-8"
+It croaks if it would otherwise return a UTF\-8 string that contains
+malformed UTF\-8.  This protects against potential security threats.  This
+is considered a bug fix as well.
+[GH #16035] <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/16035>.
+.SS "Any set of digits in the Common script are legal in a script run of another script"
+.IX Subsection "Any set of digits in the Common script are legal in a script run of another script"
+There are several sets of digits in the Common script.  \f(CW\*(C`[0\-9]\*(C'\fR is the
+most familiar.  But there are also \f(CW\*(C`[\ex{FF10}\-\ex{FF19}]\*(C'\fR (FULLWIDTH
+DIGIT ZERO \- FULLWIDTH DIGIT NINE), and several sets for use in
+mathematical notation, such as the MATHEMATICAL DOUBLE-STRUCK DIGITs.
+Any of these sets should be able to appear in script runs of, say,
+Greek.  But the design of 5.30 overlooked all but the ASCII digits
+\&\f(CW\*(C`[0\-9]\*(C'\fR, so the design was flawed.  This has been fixed, so is both a
+bug fix and an incompatibility.
+[GH #16704] <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/16704>.
+.PP
+All digits in a run still have to come from the same set of ten digits.
+.SS "JSON::PP enables allow_nonref by default"
+.IX Subsection "JSON::PP enables allow_nonref by default"
+As JSON::XS 4.0 changed its policy and enabled allow_nonref
+by default, JSON::PP also enabled allow_nonref by default.

+.IX Subsection "In XS code, use of various macros dealing with UTF-8."
+This deprecation was scheduled to become fatal in 5.30, but has been

+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 most of the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported
+issues to the Perl bug tracker. Noteworthy in this release were the large
+number of bug fixes made possible by Sergey Aleynikov's high quality perlbug
+reports for issues he discovered by fuzzing with AFL.
+.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.

+If you find what you think is a bug, you might check 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.
