=head2 New Modules and Pragmata
=over 4
See L</"The C<overloading> pragma"> above.
-=item C<attributes>
-
-Upgraded from version 0.08 to 0.09.
-
=item C<attrs>
The C<attrs> pragma has been removed. It had been marked as deprecated since
5.6.0.
-=item C<base>
-
-Upgraded from version 2.13 to 2.14. See L<parent> for a replacement.
-
-=item C<bigint>
-
-Upgraded from version 0.22 to 0.23.

-=item C<bignum>
-
-Upgraded from version 0.22 to 0.23.
-
-=item C<bigrat>
-
-Upgraded from version 0.22 to 0.23.
-
=item C<charnames>
-Upgraded from version 1.06 to 1.07.
-
The Unicode F<NameAliases.txt> database file has been added. This has the
effect of adding some extra C<\N> character names that formerly wouldn't
have been recognised; for example, C<"\N{LATIN CAPITAL LETTER GHA}">.
-=item C<constant>
-
-Upgraded from version 1.13 to 1.19. Some code has been shifted from run time to
-compile time, and the amount of MRO cache flushing has been minimised.
-
=item C<feature>
The meaning of the C<:5.10> and C<:5.10.X> feature bundles has
have identical effect. This is a change to the behaviour documented for
5.10.0.
-=item C<fields>
-
-Upgraded from version 2.13 to 2.14 (this was just a version bump; there
-were no functional changes).

-
=item C<mro>
Upgraded from version 1.00 to 1.01. Performance for single inheritance is 40%
changed. Code relying on the implementation detail that some C<mro::>
methods happened to be available at all times gets to "keep both pieces".
-=item C<version>
-
-Upgraded from version 0.74 to 0.77.
