I may have missed a few module version bumps.

It causes it to perform the substitution on a I<copy> of its operand,
returning that copy instead of a character count.
+=head2 New global variable C<${^GLOBAL_PHASE}>
+
+A new global variable, C<${^GLOBAL_PHASE}>, has been added to allow
+introspection of the current phase of the perl interpreter. It's explained in
+detail in L<perlvar/"${^GLOBAL_PHASE}"> and
+L<perlmod/"BEGIN, UNITCHECK, CHECK, INIT and END">.

See L<http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=77810> for even

+=head2 Clearing stashes
+
+Stash list assignment C<%foo:: = ()> used to make the stash anonymous
+temporarily while it was being emptied. Consequently, any of its
+subroutines referenced elsewhere would become anonymous (showing up as
+"(unknown)" in C<caller>). Now they retain their package names, such that
+C<caller> will return the original sub name if there is still a reference
+to its typeglob, or "foo::__ANON__" otherwise
