-L<perl5138delta>, which describes differences between 5.13.7 and
-5.13.8.

+L<perl5YYYdelta>, which describes differences between 5.ZZZ.ZZZ and
+5.YYY.YYY.
=head1 Notice
[ List each enhancement as a =head2 entry ]
+=head2 Add C<\p{Titlecase}> as a synonym for C<\p{Title}>
+
+This synyom is added for symmetry with the Unicode property names
+C<\p{Uppercase}> and C<\p{Lowercase}>.
+
+
=head1 Security
XXX Any security-related notices go here. In particular, any security
[ List each incompatible change as a =head2 entry ]
+=head2 Most C<\p{}> properties are now immune from case-insensitive matching
+
+For most Unicode properties, it doesn't make sense to have them match
+differently under C</i> case-insensitive matching than not. And doing
+so leads to unexpected results and potential security holes. For
+example
+
+ m/\p{ASCII_Hex_Digit}+/i
+
+could previously match non-ASCII characters because of the Unicode
+matching rules. There were a number of bugs in this feature until an
+earlier release in the 5.13 series. Now this release reverts, and
+removes the feature completely except for the few properties where
+people have come to expect it, namely the ones where casing is an
+integral part of their functionality, such as C<m/\p{Uppercase}/i> and
+C<m/\p{Lowercase}/i>, both of which match the exact same code points,
+namely those matched by C<m/\p{Cased}/i>. Details are in
+L<perlrecharclass/Unicode Properties>.
+
+User-defined property handlers that need to match differently under
+C</i> must change to read the new boolean parameter passed it which is
+non-zero if case-insensitive matching is in effect; 0 if not. See
+L<perluniprops/User-Defined Character Properties>.

=head1 Deprecations
XXX Any deprecated features, syntax, modules etc. should be listed here.
=item *
-L<CPAN::Meta::YAML> 0.002 has been added as a dual-life module. It supports a
-subset of YAML sufficient for reading and writing META.yml and MYMETA.yml files
-included with CPAN distributions or generated by the module installation
-toolchain. It should not be used for any other general YAML parsing or
-generation task.

-XXX Description of the change here
+The L<perlhack> and perlrepository documents have been heavily edited and
+split up into several new documents.
+
+The L<perlhack> document is now much shorter, and focuses on the Perl 5
+development process and submitting patches to Perl. The technical content has
+been moved to several new documents, L<perlsource>, L<perlinterp>,
+L<perlhacktut>, and L<perlhacktips>. This technical content has only been
+lightly edited.
+
+The perlrepository document has been renamed to L<perlgit>. This new document
+is just a how-to on using git with the Perl source code. Any other content
+that used to be in perlrepository has been moved to perlhack.

-The opcode bodies for C<chop> and C<chomp> and for C<schop> and C<schomp> have
-been merged. The implementation functions C<Perl_do_chop()> and
-C<Perl_do_chomp()>, never part of the public API, have been merged and moved to
-a static function in F<pp.c>. This shrinks the perl binary slightly, and should
-not affect any code outside the core (unless it is relying on the order of side
-effects when C<chomp> is passed a I<list> of values).
