If I didn't know better this would sound like a fairly scary amount of
changes for a point release. But filtering out some of the
automatically generated and irrelevant to the actual release (e.g.
Porting/*) part of that gives us:
$ git diff --stat v5.18.1..v5.18.2 -- $(git diff --numstat
v5.18.1..v5.18.2|awk '{print $3}' | grep -E -v -e
^dist/Module-CoreList -e ^Cross/ -e ^Porting/ -e ^plan9/ -e
^pod/.*delta -e ^AUTHORS$ -e ^INSTALL$ -e ^MANIFEST$ -e
'^META\.(json|yml)$' -e '^Makefile\.SH$' -e ^README -e Makefile) |
tail -n 1
40 files changed, 556 insertions(+), 253 deletions(-)
"actual" code changes likely to actually affect you when you install
and run 5.18.2 are even smaller:
$ git diff --stat v5.18.1..v5.18.2 -- $(git diff --numstat
v5.18.1..v5.18.2|awk '{print $3}' | grep -v ^dist/Module-CoreList |
grep -E '\.(pm|c|h)$') | tail -n 1
16 files changed, 99 insertions(+), 39 deletions(-)
Patches welcome and all that, but I wonder if these point release
announcements would be less scary if they excluded some of the
automatically generated code, or separately cited the amount of
changes to *.pm and *.[ch] files.
Or maybe they'd just be too verbose.
