=head1 DESCRIPTION
=head1 Notice
-XXX Any important notices here
-
=head1 Core Enhancements
-XXX New core language features go here. Summarize user-visible core language
-enhancements. Particularly prominent performance optimisations could go
-here, but most should go in the L</Performance Enhancements> section.
-
-[ List each enhancement as a =head2 entry ]
-
=head1 Security
-XXX Any security-related notices go here. In particular, any security
-vulnerabilities closed should be noted here rather than in the
-L</Selected Bug Fixes> section.
+=head2 Hash iteration randomized per hash variable
-[ List each security issue as a =head2 entry ]
+Every hash has its own iteration order, which
+should make it much more difficult to determine what the current hash
+seed is.
=head1 Incompatible Changes
=head1 Deprecations
-XXX Any deprecated features, syntax, modules etc. should be listed here. In
-particular, deprecated modules should be listed here even if they are listed as
-an updated module in the L</Modules and Pragmata> section.
-
-[ List each deprecation as a =head2 entry ]
-
=head2 PL_sv_objcount
This interpreter-global variable used to track the total number of
=head1 Performance Enhancements
-XXX Changes which enhance performance without changing behaviour go here.
-There may well be none in a stable release.

+Perl 5.17.10 represents approximately 4 weeks of development since Perl 5.17.9
+and contains approximately 77,000 lines of changes across 440 files from 42
+authors.
