+With the release of the patch kit C99 V2.0, VSI has provided support for a
+number of previously-missing C99 features. On systems with that patch kit
+installed, Perl's configuration process will now detect the presence of the
+header C<stdint.h> and the following functions: C<fpclassify>, C<isblank>, C<isless>,
+C<llrint>, C<llrintl>, C<llround>, C<llroundl>, C<nearbyint>, C<round>, C<scalbn>,
+and C<scalbnl>.

-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]
