+user-defined character classes from within other user defined character
+classes.

+all bar the last command from a saved command history.

+\&\fIh2ph\fR is now able to understand a very limited set of C inline functions
+\&\-\- basically, the inline functions that look like CPP macros. This has
+been introduced to deal with some of the headers of the newest versions of
+the glibc. The standard warning still applies; to quote \fIh2ph\fR's

+Perl 5.8.5 should build cleanly from source on LynxOS.
+.SH "Selected Bug Fixes"
+.IX Header "Selected Bug Fixes"
+.IP \(bu 4
+The in-place sort optimisation introduced in 5.8.4 had a bug. For example,
+in code such as
+.Sp
+.Vb 1
+\&    @a = sort ($b, @a)
+.Ve
+.Sp
+the result would omit the value \f(CW$b\fR. This is now fixed.
+.IP \(bu 4
+The optimisation for unnecessary assignments introduced in 5.8.4 could give
+spurious warnings. This has been fixed.
+.IP \(bu 4
+Perl should now correctly detect and read BOM-marked and (BOMless) UTF\-16
+scripts of either endianness.
+.IP \(bu 4
+Creating a new thread when weak references exist was buggy, and would often
+cause warnings at interpreter destruction time. The known bug is now fixed.
+.IP \(bu 4
+Several obscure bugs involving manipulating Unicode strings with \f(CW\*(C`substr\*(C'\fR have
+been fixed.
+.IP \(bu 4
+Previously if Perl's file globbing function encountered a directory that it
+did not have permission to open it would return immediately, leading to
+unexpected truncation of the list of results. This has been fixed, to be
+consistent with Unix shells' globbing behaviour.
+.IP \(bu 4
+Thread creation time could vary wildly between identical runs. This was caused
+by a poor hashing algorithm in the thread cloning routines, which has now
+been fixed.
+.IP \(bu 4
+The internals of the ithreads implementation were not checking if OS-level
+thread creation had failed. threads\->\fBcreate()\fR now returns \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR in if
+thread creation fails instead of crashing perl.
+.SH "New or Changed Diagnostics"
+.IX Header "New or Changed Diagnostics"
+.IP \(bu 4
+Perl \-V has several improvements
+.RS 4
+.IP \(bu 4
+correctly outputs local patch names that contain embedded code snippets
+or other characters that used to confuse it.
+.IP \(bu 4
+arguments to \-V that look like regexps will give multiple lines of output.
+.IP \(bu 4
+a trailing colon suppresses the linefeed and ';'  terminator, allowing
+embedding of queries into shell commands.
+.IP \(bu 4
+a leading colon removes the 'name=' part of the response, allowing mapping to
+any name.
+.RE
+.RS 4
+.RE
+.IP \(bu 4
+When perl fails to find the specified script, it now outputs a second line
+suggesting that the user use the \f(CW\*(C`\-S\*(C'\fR flag:
+.Sp
+.Vb 3
+\&    $ perl5.8.5 missing.pl
+\&    Can\*(Aqt open perl script "missing.pl": No such file or directory.
+\&    Use \-S to search $PATH for it.

+.SH "Changed Internals"
+.IX Header "Changed Internals"
+The Unicode character class files used by the regular expression engine are
+now built at build time from the supplied Unicode consortium data files,
+instead of being shipped prebuilt. This makes the compressed Perl source
+tarball about 200K smaller. A side effect is that the layout of files inside
+lib/unicore has changed.
+.SH "Known Problems"
+.IX Header "Known Problems"
+The regression test \fIt/uni/class.t\fR is now performing considerably more
+tests, and can take several minutes to run even on a fast machine.
+.SH "Platform Specific Problems"
+.IX Header "Platform Specific Problems"
+This release is known not to build on Windows 95.
+.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 http://bugs.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 \fBperlbug\fR
+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.  You can browse and search
+the Perl 5 bugs at http://bugs.perl.org/
