[ List each enhancement as a =head2 entry ]
-=head2 Now can dump compiled patterns before optimization
-
-This is primarily useful for tracking down bugs in the regular
-expression compiler. This dump happens on C<-DDEBUGGING> perls, if you
-specify C<-Drv> on the command line; or on any perl if the pattern is
-compiled within the scope of S<C<use re qw(Debug DUMP_PRE_OPTIMIZE)>> or
-S<C<use re qw(Debug COMPILE EXTRA)>>. (All but the 2nd case display
-other information as well.)

-=item Win32
-
-The locale tests could crash on Win32 due to a Windows bug, and
-separately due to the CRT throwing an exception if the locale name
-wasn't validly encoded in the current code page.
+=item XXX-some-platform
-For the second we now decode the locale name ourselves, and always
-decode it as UTF-8. [perl #133981]

+Added the C<<PL_curstackinfo->si_cxsubix>> field. This records the stack
+index of the most recently pushed sub/format/eval context. It is set and
+restored automatically by C<cx_pushsub()>, C<cx_popsub()> etc., but would
+need to be manually managed if you do any unusual manipulation of the
+context stack.

=item *
-Perl no longer treats strings starting with "0x" or "0b" as hex or
-binary numbers respectively when converting a string to a number.
-This reverts a change in behaviour inadvertently introduced in perl
-5.30.0 intended to improve precision when converting a string to a
-floating point number. [perl #134230]
-
-=item *
-
-Matching a non-C<SVf_UTF8> string against a regular expression
-containing unicode literals could leak a SV on each match attempt.
