I believe the section on documentation changes needs extensive changes. The stuff in there is mostly useless. "Removed redundand dSP from an example" may be true, but its not really useful. And specifying these would lead a reader to think that the section really is extremely detailed and accurate, whereas, what is in it is kind of random. The rewrite of the first part of perlre and removal of the final part were not mentioned at all, and are far more important than most of what is in there. If we are going to have this section, the various pod files should be examined for commits that occurred in this release. I would go to the history links like https://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/history/HEAD:/pod/perlre.podThread Previous | Thread Next
