That's not really something to be concerned about.

Yes, there really needs to be something available at the XS and perl levels to tell that this is not vanilla 5.8.1 (for purposes of implementing workarounds and test skips for 5.8.1 but not for fixed versions afterward). But I still assert that the easiest solution is to call it 5.8.2 (with the MAINT marker).Thread Previous | Thread Next
