The major changes made in 5.12.0 are described in perl5120delta. +.SH "Incompatible Changes" +.IX Header "Incompatible Changes" +.Vb 2 +\& There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.12.2. If any +\& exist, they are bugs and reports are welcome. +.Ve +.SH "Core Enhancements" +.IX Header "Core Enhancements" +.ie n .SS """keys"", ""values"" work on arrays" +.el .SS "\f(CWkeys\fP, \f(CWvalues\fP work on arrays" +.IX Subsection "keys, values work on arrays" +You can now use the \f(CW\*(C`keys\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`values\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`each\*(C'\fR builtin functions on arrays +(previously you could only use them on hashes). See perlfunc for details. +This is actually a change introduced in perl 5.12.0, but it was missed from +that release's perldelta. +.SH "Bug Fixes" +.IX Header "Bug Fixes" +"no VERSION" will now correctly deparse with B::Deparse, as will certain +constant expressions. +.PP +Module::Build should be more reliably pass its tests under cygwin. +.PP +Lvalue subroutines are again able to return copy-on-write scalars. This +had been broken since version 5.10.0. +.SH "Platform Specific Notes" +.IX Header "Platform Specific Notes" +.IP Solaris 4 +.IX Item "Solaris" +A separate DTrace is now build for miniperl, which means that perl can be +compiled with \-Dusedtrace on Solaris again. +.IP VMS 4 +.IX Item "VMS" +A number of regressions on VMS have been fixed. In addition to minor cleanup +of questionable expressions in \fIvms.c\fR, file permissions should no longer be +garbled by the PerlIO layer, and spurious record boundaries should no longer be +introduced by the PerlIO layer during output. +.Sp +For more details and discussion on the latter, see: +.Sp +.Vb 1 +\& http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.vmsperl/2010/11/msg15419.html +.Ve +.IP VOS 4 +.IX Item "VOS" +A few very small changes were made to the build process on VOS to better +support the platform. Longer\-than\-32\-character filenames are now supported on +OpenVOS, and build properly without IPv6 support. +.SH Acknowledgements +.IX Header "Acknowledgements" +Perl 5.12.3 represents approximately four months of development since +Perl 5.12.2 and contains approximately 2500 lines of changes across +54 files from 16 authors. +.PP +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 5.12.3: +.PP +Craig A. Berry, David Golden, David Leadbeater, Father Chrysostomos, Florian +Ragwitz, Jesse Vincent, Karl Williamson, Nick Johnston, Nicolas Kaiser, Paul +Green, Rafael Garcia-Suarez, Rainer Tammer, Ricardo Signes, Steffen Mueller, +Zsbán Ambrus, Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason +.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://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . 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. +.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. +.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. |
