Subject:
perl@22413
Message ID:
20040229225313.GB12468@plum.flirble.org
I have made a maintenance snapshot
http://www.ccl4.org/~nick/P/perl-22413.tar.bz2
(or .gz if you need it)
I'm aware that this snapshot might be a bit "rough" - ie I think that maint
currently fails some tests on some platforms. But I felt it better to get
a snapshot out so that we know where we stand, rather than delay further
while trying to fix things.
The plan still is that 5.8.4's code freeze will be at 23:59:59 GMT on 31st
March, with a release candidate very soon afterwards. All being well maint
will be in a known good releasable state at least 1 snapshot before then, so
there may only be one release candidate.
Things I'm aware I have not done which I intend to get done in the next 2
weeks
1: Look at the suidperl patches, fix blead, integrate maint
2: Look at the patch for base.pm, and work out why things seem to have forked
3: Integrate Dave's parser changes to maint
[assuming none-one else is kind/crazy enough to beat me to it]
I've got this suspicion that there should be at least 1 more thing on that
list. Rafael's immediate plans on blead are to reduce the amount of smoke
in the smoke tests, which should help fix some of the smoke problems with
maint.

returned from XSUBs through RETVAL isn't decremented as it is for
