45 | Perl 5.29.0 represents approximately 1 week of development since Perl 5.28.0 | |
46 | and contains approximately 320,000 lines of changes across 79 files from 4 | |
47 | authors. | |
48 | ||
49 | Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were | |
50 | approximately 310,000 lines of changes to 30 .pm, .t, .c and .h files. | |
51 | ||
52 | Perl continues to flourish into its fourth decade thanks to a vibrant | |
53 | community of users and developers. The following people are known to have | |
54 | contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.29.0: | |
55 | ||
56 | Abigail, James E Keenan, Karl Williamson, Sawyer X. | |
57 | ||
58 | The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically | |
59 | generated from version control history. In particular, it does not include | |
60 | the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to | |
61 | the Perl bug tracker. | |
62 | ||
63 | Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules | |
64 | included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for | |
65 | helping Perl to flourish. | |
66 | ||
67 | For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please | |
68 | see the F<AUTHORS> file in the Perl source distribution. | |
69 | ||
70 | =head1 Reporting Bugs | |
71 | ||
72 | If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the perl bug database | |
73 | at L<https://rt.perl.org/> . There may also be information at | |
74 | L<http://www.perl.org/> , the Perl Home Page. | |
75 | ||
76 | If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the L<perlbug> program | |
77 | included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down to a tiny but | |
78 | sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the output of C<perl -V>, | |
79 | will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be analysed by the Perl porting team. | |
80 | ||
81 | If the bug you are reporting has security implications which make it | |
82 | inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then see | |
83 | L<perlsec/SECURITY VULNERABILITY CONTACT INFORMATION> | |
84 | for details of how to report the issue. | |
85 | ||
86 | =head1 Give Thanks | |
87 | ||
88 | If you wish to thank the Perl 5 Porters for the work we had done in Perl 5, | |
89 | you can do so by running the C<perlthanks> program: | |
90 | ||
91 | perlthanks | |
92 | ||
93 | This will send an email to the Perl 5 Porters list with your show of thanks. | |
