+The original visible value of \f(CW$/\fR is now preserved
+when it is set to an invalid value. Previously if you set \f(CW$/\fR to a reference
+to an array, for example, perl would produce a runtime error and not set PL_rs,
+but Perl code that checked \f(CW$/\fR would see the array reference.

+A subtle bug introduced in Perl 5.20.2 involving UTF\-8 in regular expressions
+and sometimes causing a crash has been fixed. A new test script has been added
+to test this fix; see under "Testing".

+.IP \(bu 4
+Some patterns starting with \f(CW\*(C`/.*..../\*(C'\fR matched against long strings have been

+Warning fatality is now ignored when rewinding the stack. This prevents
+infinite recursion when the now fatal error also causes rewinding of the stack.

+Code like \f(CW\*(C`/$a[/\*(C'\fR used to read the next line of input and treat it as though

+Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
+approximately 1,500 lines of changes to 43 .pm, .t, .c and .h files.

+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 5.20.3:

+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

+.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 please send it
+to perl5\-security\-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription
+unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who will be
+able to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help
+co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all
+platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for
+security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently distributed on
+CPAN.
