From the beginning, I knew… …that there was nothing wrong with you… …that I can't fix… …with my hands… -- Batman, of the Joker, in The Dark Knight Returns We are ready to announce perl v5.19.0 the first development release of version 19 of Perl 5. You will soon be able to download Perl v5.19.0 from your favorite CPAN mirror or find it at: https://metacpan.org/release/RJBS/perl-5.19.0/ SHA1 digests for this release are: 1672b54b715c6058060c8ce8d31bd57563d65c99 perl-5.19.0.tar.bz2 e2a73a07629267f28ec537b01ad847164e2d07df perl-5.19.0.tar.gz You can find a full list of changes in the file "perldelta.pod" located in the "pod" directory inside the release and on the web. Perl v5.19.0 represents approximately 0.2857142857 weeks of development since Perl v5.18.0 and contains approximately 52,000 lines of changes across 310 files from 6 authors. 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 v5.19.0: Brian Fraser, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Karl Williamson, Nicholas Clark, Reuben Thomas, Ricardo Signes. The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically generated from version control history. In particular, it does not include the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to the Perl bug tracker. Many of the changes included in this version are the removal of modules no longer shipped with Perl's core. We thank those modules for their service and wish them luck in their future endeavors. For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see the AUTHORS file in the Perl source distribution. We expect to release version v5.19.0 on June 21, 2013. The next major stable release of Perl 5, version 20.0, should appear in May 2014. -- rjbsThread Next
