How the storm tore rents In heavens gray attired! The rags of cloud are flying Around, of combat tired. And flames of fire lambent, Fly between them and part, That 's what I call a morning, A morning after my heart! My heart sees in the heavens Its own picture unspoilt-- It's nothing but the Winter, The Winter, cold and wild. -- Wilhelm Müller, trans. Anon., "Stormy Morning" (No. 18 in Schubert's song-cycle, "Winterreise") We are delighted to announce the third release candidate of version 22.1, the first maintenance release of version 22 of Perl 5. You will soon be able to download Perl 5.22.1-RC3 from your favourite CPAN mirror or find it at: https://metacpan.org/release/SHAY/perl-5.22.1-RC3/ SHA1 digests for this release are: b23e93c64b3f8600e12bfc002508f8ecc362a642 perl-5.22.1-RC3.tar.gz 628c35186d3fc3a6e255b931a4fd7ef124d7e8cc perl-5.22.1-RC3.tar.bz2 a7e21f5b4aecc979540a811681765eb9aa4b3e27 perl-5.22.1-RC3.tar.xz 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-5.22.1-RC3. This is your last chance to point out any critical regressions before v5.22.1 ships "for real," and we'd rather fix things for v5.22.1 than for v5.22.2! The final v5.22.1 will ship no sooner than Dec 6th. Steve HayThread Next
