+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+This document describes differences between the 5.28.1 release and the 5.28.2
+release.
+.PP
+If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.28.0, first read
+perl5281delta, which describes differences between 5.28.0 and 5.28.1.
+.SH "Incompatible Changes"
+.IX Header "Incompatible Changes"
+.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 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.

+.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. This has now been fixed.
+.IP "Mac OS X" 4
+.IX Item "Mac OS X"
+Perl's build and testing process on Mac OS X for \f(CW\*(C`\-Duseshrplib\*(C'\fR builds is now
+compatible with Mac OS X System Integrity Protection (SIP).
+.Sp
+SIP prevents binaries in \fI/bin\fR (and a few other places) being passed the
+\&\f(CW\*(C`DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH\*(C'\fR environment variable. 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.

+.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. Partly resolves [perl #133659].

+.SH Acknowledgements
+.IX Header "Acknowledgements"
+Perl 5.28.2 represents approximately 4 months of development since Perl 5.28.1
+and contains approximately 2,500 lines of changes across 75 files from 13
+authors.
+.PP
+Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
+approximately 1,200 lines of changes to 29 .pm, .t, .c and .h files.
+.PP
+Perl continues to flourish into its fourth decade thanks to a vibrant community
+of users and developers. 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.
