+L<Extended Bracketed Character Classes|perlrecharclass/Extended Bracketed Character Classes>
+now will successfully compile when S<C<use locale>> is in effect. The compiled
+pattern will use standard Unicode rules. If the runtime locale is not a
+UTF-8 one, a warning is raised and standard Unicode rules are used
+anyway. No tainting is done since the outcome does not actually depend
+on the locale.

+=item EBCDIC C<cmp()> and C<sort()> fixed for UTF-EBCDIC strings
-Visual C++ 2013 builds will now execute on XP and higher. Previously they would
-only execute on Vista and higher.
+Comparing two strings that were both encoded in UTF-8 (or more
+precisely, UTF-EBCDIC) did not work properly until now. Since C<sort()>
+uses C<cmp()>, this fixes that as well.
