The major changes made in 5.12.0 are described in perl5120delta. +.SH "Incompatible Changes" +.IX Header "Incompatible Changes" +There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.12.3. If any +exist, they are bugs and reports are welcome. +.SH "Selected Bug Fixes" +.IX Header "Selected Bug Fixes" +When strict "refs" mode is off, \f(CW\*(C`%{...}\*(C'\fR in rvalue context returns +\&\f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR if its argument is undefined. An optimisation introduced in Perl +5.12.0 to make \f(CW\*(C`keys %{...}\*(C'\fR faster when used as a boolean did not take +this into account, causing \f(CW\*(C`keys %{+undef}\*(C'\fR (and \f(CW\*(C`keys %$foo\*(C'\fR when +\&\f(CW$foo\fR is undefined) to be an error, which it should be so in strict +mode only [perl #81750]. +.PP +\&\f(CW\*(C`lc\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`uc\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`lcfirst\*(C'\fR, and \f(CW\*(C`ucfirst\*(C'\fR no longer return untainted strings +when the argument is tainted. This has been broken since perl 5.8.9 +[perl #87336]. +.PP +Fixed a case where it was possible that a freed buffer may have been read +from when parsing a here document. +.SH "Modules and Pragmata" +.IX Header "Modules and Pragmata" +Module::CoreList has been upgraded from version 2.43 to 2.50. +.SH Testing +.IX Header "Testing" +The \fIcpan/CGI/t/http.t\fR test script has been fixed to work when the +environment has HTTPS_* environment variables, such as HTTPS_PROXY. +.SH Documentation +.IX Header "Documentation" +Updated the documentation for \fBrand()\fR in perlfunc to note that it is not +cryptographically secure. +.SH "Platform Specific Notes" +.IX Header "Platform Specific Notes" +.IP Linux 4 +.IX Item "Linux" +Support Ubuntu 11.04's new multi-arch library layout. +.SH Acknowledgements +.IX Header "Acknowledgements" +Perl 5.12.4 represents approximately 5 months of development since +Perl 5.12.3 and contains approximately 200 lines of changes across +11 files from 8 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 5.12.4: +.PP +Andy Dougherty, David Golden, David Leadbeater, Father Chrysostomos, +Florian Ragwitz, Jesse Vincent, Leon Brocard, Zsbán Ambrus. +.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 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. |
