When times go bad when times go rough Won't you lay me down in tall grass And let me do my stuff -- Lindsey Buckingham, "Second Hand News" We are pleased to announce the first release candidate of perl v5.20.0, the first stable release of Perl 5, version 20. You will soon be able to download Perl v5.20.0-RC1 from your favorite CPAN mirror or find it at: https://metacpan.org/release/RJBS/perl-5.20.0-RC1/ SHA1 digests for this release are: b282970e6267ce9b930dad4364bf9f32d3ffbe64 perl-5.20.0-RC1.tar.bz2 a963c40ba3973745d52e60b0ce73bc5f215726fb perl-5.20.0-RC1.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. **Please, please, please** test your code against perl-5.20.0-RC1. This is your last chance to point out a critical regression before v5.20.0 ships "for real," and we'd rather fix things for v5.20.0 than for v5.20.1! The final v5.20.0 will ship no sooner than May 23rd, one week from today. -- rjbsThread Next
