=head1 Notice
[ List each enhancement as a =head2 entry ]
-=head2 Regular Expression Set Operations
-
-This is an experimental feature to allow matching against the the union,
-intersection, etc., of sets of code points, similar to
-L<Unicode::Regex::Set>. It can also be used to extend C</x> processing
-to [bracketed] character classes, and as a replacement of user-defined
-properties, allowing more complex expressions than they do. See
-L<perlre/(?[ ])>.

[ List each deprecation as a =head2 entry ]
-=head2 Various XS-callable functions are now deprecated
-
-All the functions used to classify characters will be removed from a
-future version of Perl, and should not be used. With participating C
-compilers (e.g., gcc), compiling any file that uses any of these will
-generate a warning. These were not intended for public use; there are
-equivalent, faster, macros for most of them.
-See L<perlapi/Character classes>. The complete list (including some
-that were deprecated in 5.17.7) is:
-C<is_uni_alnum>, C<is_uni_alnumc>, C<is_uni_alnumc_lc>,
-C<is_uni_alnum_lc>, C<is_uni_alpha>, C<is_uni_alpha_lc>,
-C<is_uni_ascii>, C<is_uni_ascii_lc>, C<is_uni_blank>,
-C<is_uni_blank_lc>, C<is_uni_cntrl>, C<is_uni_cntrl_lc>,
-C<is_uni_digit>, C<is_uni_digit_lc>, C<is_uni_graph>,
-C<is_uni_graph_lc>, C<is_uni_idfirst>, C<is_uni_idfirst_lc>,
-C<is_uni_lower>, C<is_uni_lower_lc>, C<is_uni_print>,
-C<is_uni_print_lc>, C<is_uni_punct>, C<is_uni_punct_lc>,
-C<is_uni_space>, C<is_uni_space_lc>, C<is_uni_upper>,

-C<to_uni_lower_lc>, C<to_uni_title_lc>, and C<to_uni_upper_lc>.

=head1 Performance Enhancements
XXX Changes which enhance performance without changing behaviour go here.

+Fixed the merge of ExtUtils-MakeMaker 6.65_01 to remove an excluded

-Perl can now be built using Microsoft's Visual C++ 2012 compiler by specifying
-CCTYPE=MSVC110 (or MSVC110FREE if you are using the free Express edition for

=item *
-A bug in the core typemap caused any C types that map to the T_BOOL core
-typemap entry to not be set, updated, or modified when the T_BOOL variable was
-used in an OUTPUT: section with an exception for RETVAL. T_BOOL in an INPUT:
-section was not affected. Using a T_BOOL return type for an XSUB (RETVAL)
-was not affected. A side effect of fixing this bug is, if a T_BOOL is specified
-in the OUTPUT: section (which previous did nothing to the SV), and a read only
-SV (literal) is passed to the XSUB, croaks like "Modification of a read-only
-value attempted" will happen. [perl #115796]
-
-=item *
-
-On many platforms, providing a directory name as the script name caused perl
-to do nothing and report success. It should now universally report an error
-and exit nonzero. [perl #61362]
