Perl 5.39.3 is now available!

  I could never find the right way to tell you
  Have you noticed I've been gone?
  'Cause I left behind the home that you made me
  But I will carry it along

  And it's a long way forward, so trust in me
  I'll give them shelter, like you've done for me
  And I know, I'm not alone, you'll be watching over us
  Until you're gone

  When I'm older, I'll be silent beside you
  I know words won't be enough
  And they won't need to know the names or our faces
  But they will carry on for us

  And it's a long way forward, so trust in me
  I'll give them shelter, like you've done for me
  And I know, I'm not alone, you'll be watching over us
  Until you're gone

  Oh it's a long way forward, trust in me
  I'll give them shelter, like you've done for me
  And I know, I'm not alone, you'll be watching over us
  Until

Perl 5.39.3 represents approximately 4 weeks of development since Perl
5.39.2 and contains approximately 9,100 lines of changes across 170 files
from 21 authors.

Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
approximately 6,100 lines of changes to 91 .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 5.39.3:

Alexander Kanavin, Bruno Meneguele, Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker, Dan Church,
David Mitchell, Elvin Aslanov, Graham Knop, Jakub Wilk, James E Keenan, Karl
Williamson, Leon Timmermans, Lukas Mai, Matthew Horsfall, Nicolas R, Paul
Evans, Paul Marquess, Richard Leach, Sevan Janiyan, Tomasz Konojacki, Tony
Cook, Zakariyya Mughal.

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 39.4 on 20 October, 2023.

The next major stable release of Perl should appear in the first half of
2024.

Cheers,

-- Matthew Horsfall (alh)
