+=head2 Correct a long-standing ithreads reference counting anonmaly
The reference count only needs "doubling" when the scalar is pushed onto
PL_regex_padav for the second time.
Instead of wedging the pad offset into a void* iterdata, and always
storing PL_comppad even when it isn't used, instead do this:
-PAD *oldcomppad; /* Also used for the GV, if targoffset is 0 */
-/* This is also accesible via cx->blk_loop.my_op->op_targ */
-PADOFFSET targoffset;
+ PAD *oldcomppad; /* Also used for the GV, if targoffset is 0 */
+ /* This is also accessible via cx->blk_loop.my_op->op_targ */
+ PADOFFSET targoffset;
and store the GV pointer in oldcompad. Pointers to pointers seems
cleaner. This also allows us to eliminate the flag bit CXp_PADVAR.

+=head2 miniperl no longer builds with UTF-8 support in the regexp engine to support the bootstrapping process
+
+ This allows a build to complete with PERL_UNICODE set and a UTF-8 locale.

+ Corrupt filename when setting %INC entry in a @INC hook
+

+ Fix [perl #66970] Incorrect coderef in MODIFY_CODE_ATTRIBUTES
+
+ Attribute handlers being applied to a temporary CV has actually been
+ reported as a bug, #66970. The attached patch fixes the bug, by
+ changing the order in which things happen: attributes are now applied
+ after the temporary CV has been merged into the existing CV or has
+ otherwise been added to the appropriate GV.
+
+ The change breaks part of Attribute::Handlers. Part of A:H searches the
+ package to find the name of the sub to which a :ATTR attribute is being
+ applied, and the correct time at which to launch that search depends
+ crucially on the order in which the CV construction events occur. So
+ this patch also includes a change to A:H, to make it detect which way
+ things happen. The resulting A:H works either way, which is essential
+ for its dual-life nature.

+ OS/2 hadn't been updated to cope with the ext/ restructuring.
+
+ I don't have OS/2, so I can't test this, but the code in Configure will assume
+ flat directories, because ext/File-Glob is present, and hence not search
+ recursively and not find the OS/2 extensions if they are copied into ext/OS2/*
+
+ I believe that without this change OS/2 will not have been building since the
+ change to flattened ext. This change may not be sufficient to get OS/2
+ building again, but it is in the right direction.

+ Fix unpack of abstract socket addrs with nul byte
+
+ Addresses of Linux abstract namespace sockets are not nul-terminated C
+ strings, but rather an arbitrary character arrays. According to unix(7)
+ documentation from Linux, "Null bytes in the name have no special
+ significance."
+
+ unpack_sockaddr_un() was just throwing the initial nul byte away and
+ then treating the rest like ordinary C string when computing the length
+ of the address, which was wrong. This fix utilizes the length of the PV
+ for addresses starting with nul instead.
+
+ The regression test was extended with check for the problem.

+
+ Speed up repeatcpy() by at least 40% for 1-char or numerous repeats
+
+ And don't make it receive the interpreter anymore.
+
+ For 1-char repeats, use memset(). Otherwise, use the old implementation up
+ to some (small) length, and then use memcpy() in a binary manner, based on
+ what we previously copied.
+
+ Note that we use memcpy() so both strings shouldn't overlap. The previous
+ implementation didn't allow this as well. This would be a good place to use
+ the restrict keyword from C99. I'm not sure if Configure has a probe for it.

+ Abstract namespace sockets are Linux-specific socket type that live in

+ terminated by nul byte, but with the length passed to the socket()
+ system call.
+
+ Added regression test for the correct address length computation.
