19The minor number component of the perl interpreter currently being compiled or
20executing. Between 1993 into 2020, this has ranged from 0 to 33.

24=for apidoc AmDnU|U8|PERL_SUBVERSION
25The micro number component of the perl interpreter currently being compiled or
26executing. In stable releases this gives the dot release number for
27maintenance updates. In development releases this gives a tag for a snapshot
28of the status at various points in the development cycle.

74 local_patches -- list of locally applied less-than-subversion patches.
75 If you're distributing such a patch, please give it a name and a
76 one-line description, placed just before the last NULL in the array
77 below. If your patch fixes a bug in the perlbug database, please
78 mention the bugid. If your patch *IS* dependent on a prior patch,
79 please place your applied patch line after its dependencies. This
80 will help tracking of patch dependencies.
81
82 Please either use 'diff --unified=0' if your diff supports
83 that or edit the hunk of the diff output which adds your patch
84 to this list, to remove context lines which would give patch
85 problems. For instance, if the original context diff is
86
87 *** patchlevel.h.orig <date here>
88 --- patchlevel.h <date here>
89 *** 38,43 ***
90 --- 38,44 ---
91 ,"FOO1235 - some patch"
92 ,"BAR3141 - another patch"
93 ,"BAZ2718 - and another patch"
94 + ,"MINE001 - my new patch"
95 ,NULL
96 };
97
98 please change it to
99 *** patchlevel.h.orig <date here>
100 --- patchlevel.h <date here>
101 *** 41,43 ***
102 --- 41,44 ---
103 + ,"MINE001 - my new patch"
104 ,NULL
105 };
106
107 (Note changes to line numbers as well as removal of context lines.)
108 This will prevent patch from choking if someone has previously
109 applied different patches than you.
