+In Perl 5.20.0, \f(CW$^N\fR accidentally had the internal UTF8 flag turned off if

+[GH #14087] <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/14087>
+.IP \(bu 4
+Loading UTF8 tables during a regular expression match could cause assertion

+[GH #14081] <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/14081>
+.IP \(bu 4
+Due to a mistake in the string-copying logic, copying the value of a state
+variable could instead steal the value and undefine the variable. This bug,
+introduced in Perl 5.20, would happen mostly for long strings (1250 chars or
+more), but could happen for any strings under builds with copy-on-write
+disabled.

+.IP \(bu 4
+On Win32, restoring in a child pseudo-process a variable that was \f(CWlocal()\fRed
+in a parent pseudo-process before the \f(CW\*(C`fork\*(C'\fR happened caused memory corruption
+and a crash in the child pseudo-process (and therefore OS process).

+.IP \(bu 4
+Tainted constants evaluated at compile time no longer cause unrelated

+.IP \(bu 4
+Calling \f(CW\*(C`write\*(C'\fR on a format with a \f(CW\*(C`^**\*(C'\fR field could produce a panic in
+\&\fBsv_chop()\fR if there were insufficient arguments or if the variable used to fill
+the field was empty.

+.IP \(bu 4
+In Perl 5.20.0, \f(CW\*(C`sort CORE::fake\*(C'\fR where 'fake' is anything other than a
+keyword started chopping of the last 6 characters and treating the result as a
+sort sub name. The previous behaviour of treating "CORE::fake" as a sort sub
+name has been restored.
+[GH #14323] <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/14323>
+.IP \(bu 4
+A bug in regular expression patterns that could lead to segfaults and other
+crashes has been fixed. This occurred only in patterns compiled with \f(CW"/i"\fR,
+while taking into account the current POSIX locale (this usually means they
+have to be compiled within the scope of \f(CW"use\ locale"\fR), and there must be
+a string of at least 128 consecutive bytes to match.
+[GH #14389] <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/14389>
+.IP \(bu 4
+\&\f(CW\*(C`qr/@array(?{block})/\*(C'\fR no longer dies with "Bizarre copy of ARRAY".

+.IP \(bu 4
+Certain syntax errors in substitutions, such as \f(CW\*(C`s/${<>{})//\*(C'\fR, would
+crash, and had done so since Perl 5.10. (In some cases the crash did not start
+happening until Perl 5.16.) The crash has, of course, been fixed.
+[GH #14391] <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/14391>
+.IP \(bu 4
+A memory leak in some regular expressions, introduced in Perl 5.20.1, has been

+.IP \(bu 4
+\&\f(CW\*(C`formline("@...", "a");\*(C'\fR would crash. The \f(CW\*(C`FF_CHECKNL\*(C'\fR case in
+\&\fBpp_formline()\fR didn't set the pointer used to mark the chop position, which led
+to the \f(CW\*(C`FF_MORE\*(C'\fR case crashing with a segmentation fault. This has been
+fixed.

+It is a known bug that lexical subroutines cannot be used as the \f(CW\*(C`SUBNAME\*(C'\fR

+Perl 5.20.2 represents approximately 5 months of development since Perl 5.20.1
+and contains approximately 6,300 lines of changes across 170 files from 34
+authors.

+Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
+approximately 1,900 lines of changes to 80 .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 5.20.2:

+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.
