Courage is the only antidote for danger -- Erle Stanley Gardner, The Case of the Grinning Gorilla We are happy to announce version 29.0, the 1st development release of version 29 of Perl 5. You will soon be able to download Perl 5.29.0 from your favorite CPAN mirror or find it at: https://metacpan.org/release/XSAWYERX/perl-5.29.0/ SHA1 digests for this release are: 88ecf56469476a01db3be9a2f3c2c630348425ef perl-5.29.0.tar.gz 15e440c6a50453ef89ae4cd8b0e5367c1e4574d3 perl-5.29.0.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 at https://metacpan.org/pod/release/XSAWYERX/perl-5.29.0/pod/perldelta.pod Perl 5.29.0 represents approximately 1 week of development since Perl 5.28.0 and contains approximately 320,000 lines of changes across 79 files from 4 authors. Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were approximately 310,000 lines of changes to 30 .pm, .t, .c and .h files. Perl continues to flourish into its fourth decade thanks to a vibrant community of users and developers. The following people are known to have contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.29.0: Abigail, James E Keenan, Karl Williamson, Sawyer X. 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 originated in the CPAN modules included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for helping Perl to flourish. 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 29.1 on July 20th. The next major stable release of Perl 5, version 28.0, should appear in May 2018. Yours, Sawyer X.Thread Next
