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 previous design 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. +.PP +All digits in a run still have to come from the same set of ten digits. +.PP +[GH #16704] <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/16704> +.SH "Modules and Pragmata" +.IX Header "Modules and Pragmata" +.SS "Updated Modules and Pragmata" +.IX Subsection "Updated Modules and Pragmata" +.IP \(bu 4 +Module::CoreList has been upgraded from version 5.20181129_28 to 5.20190419. +.IP \(bu 4 +PerlIO::scalar has been upgraded from version 0.29 to 0.30. +.IP \(bu 4 +Storable has been upgraded from version 3.08 to 3.08_01. +.SH "Platform Support" +.IX Header "Platform Support" +.SS "Platform-Specific Notes" +.IX Subsection "Platform-Specific Notes" +.IP Windows 4 +.IX Item "Windows" +The Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK build, with its early x64 compiler and +tools, was accidentally broken in Perl 5.27.9.

For our purposes this prevents +\&\f(CW\*(C`DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH\*(C'\fR from being passed to the shell, which prevents that +variable being passed to the testing or build process, so running \f(CW\*(C`perl\*(C'\fR +couldn't find \fIlibperl.dylib\fR. +.Sp +To work around that, the initial build of the \fIperl\fR executable expects to +find \fIlibperl.dylib\fR in the build directory, and the library path is then +adjusted during installation to point to the installed library. +.Sp +[GH #15057] <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/15057> +.SH "Selected Bug Fixes" +.IX Header "Selected Bug Fixes" +.IP \(bu 4 +If an in-place edit is still in progress during global destruction and the +process exit code (as stored in \f(CW$?\fR) is zero, perl will now treat the +in-place edit as successful, replacing the input file with any output produced. +.Sp +This allows code like: +.Sp +.Vb 1 +\& perl \-i \-ne \*(Aqprint "Foo"; last\*(Aq +.Ve +.Sp +to replace the input file, while code like: +.Sp +.Vb 1 +\& perl \-i \-ne \*(Aqprint "Foo"; die\*(Aq +.Ve +.Sp +will not.

The following people are known to have contributed +the improvements that became Perl 5.28.2: +.PP +Aaron Crane, Abigail, Andy Dougherty, David Mitchell, Karen Etheridge, Karl +Williamson, Leon Timmermans, Nicolas R., Sawyer X, Steve Hay, Tina Müller, +Tony Cook, Zak B. Elep. +.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 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 "Give Thanks" +.IX Header "Give Thanks" +If you wish to thank the Perl 5 Porters for the work we had done in Perl 5, +you can do so by running the \f(CW\*(C`perlthanks\*(C'\fR program: +.PP +.Vb 1 +\& perlthanks +.Ve +.PP +This will send an email to the Perl 5 Porters list with your show of thanks. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IX Header "SEE ALSO" +The \fIChanges\fR file for an explanation of how to view exhaustive details on +what changed. +.PP +The \fIINSTALL\fR file for how to build Perl. +.PP +The \fIREADME\fR file for general stuff. +.PP +The \fIArtistic\fR and \fICopying\fR files for copyright information. |
