=head1 DESCRIPTION
-This document describes differences between the 5.17.9 release and the 5.17.10
+This document describes differences between the 5.19.0 release and the 5.19.1
release.

-L<perl5179delta>, which describes differences between 5.17.8 and 5.17.9.

+XXX Any important notices here
+
=head1 Core Enhancements
+XXX New core language features go here. Summarize user-visible core language
+enhancements. Particularly prominent performance optimisations could go
+here, but most should go in the L</Performance Enhancements> section.

=head1 Security
-=head2 Hash iteration randomized per hash variable
+XXX Any security-related notices go here. In particular, any security
+vulnerabilities closed should be noted here rather than in the
+L</Selected Bug Fixes> section.
-Every hash has its own iteration order, which
-should make it much more difficult to determine what the current hash
-seed is.
+[ List each security issue as a =head2 entry ]
=head1 Incompatible Changes
-=head2 Explicit rules for variable names and identifiers
-
-Due to an oversight, length-one variable names in 5.16 were completely
-unrestricted, and opened the door to several kinds of insanity. As of
-5.18, these now follow the rules of other identifiers, in addition
-to accepting characters that match the \p{POSIX_Punct} property.
+XXX For a release on a stable branch, this section aspires to be:
-There are no longer any differences in the parsing of identifiers specified
-as $... or ${...}; previously, they were dealt with in different parts of
-the core, and so had slightly different behavior. For instance,
-C<${foo:bar}> was a legal variable name. Since they are now both parsed
-by the same code, that is no longer the case.
+ There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.XXX.XXX
+ If any exist, they are bugs, and we request that you submit a
+ report. See L</Reporting Bugs> below.
[ List each incompatible change as a =head2 entry ]
=head1 Deprecations
-=head2 PL_sv_objcount
+XXX Any deprecated features, syntax, modules etc. should be listed here.
+
+=head2 Module removals
+
+XXX Remove this section if inapplicable.
+
+The following modules will be removed from the core distribution in a future
+release, and will at that time need to be installed from CPAN. Distributions
+on CPAN which require these modules will need to list them as prerequisites.
+
+The core versions of these modules will now issue C<"deprecated">-category
+warnings to alert you to this fact. To silence these deprecation warnings,
+install the modules in question from CPAN.
+
+Note that these are (with rare exceptions) fine modules that you are encouraged
+to continue to use. Their disinclusion from core primarily hinges on their
+necessity to bootstrapping a fully functional, CPAN-capable Perl installation,
+not usually on concerns over their design.
-This interpreter-global variable used to track the total number of
-Perl objects in the interpreter. It is no longer maintained and will
-be removed altogether in Perl 5.20.

+as an updated module in the L</Modules and Pragmata> section.

+=item *
+
+Perl has a new copy-on-write mechanism that avoids the need to copy the
+internal string buffer when assigning from one scalar to another. This
+makes copying large strings appear much faster. Modifying one of the two
+(or more) strings after an assignment will force a copy internally. This
+makes it unnecessary to pass strings by reference for efficiency.
+
+This feature was already available in 5.18.0, but wasn't enabled by
+default. It is the default now, and so you no longer need build perl with
+the F<Configure> argument:
+
+ -Accflags=PERL_NEW_COPY_ON_WRITE
+
+It can be disabled (for now) in a perl build with:
+
+ -Accflags=PERL_NO_COW

+entries to STDOUT. Results can be pasted in place of the '=head2' entries

+In an ideal world, dual-life modules would have a F<Changes> file that could be

=item *
-L<Term::UI> has been upgraded from version 0.32 to 0.34.
+Perl's new copy-on-write mechanism (which is now enabled by default),
+allows any C<SvPOK> scalar to be automatically upgraded to a copy-on-write
+scalar when copied. A reference count on the string buffer is stored in
+the string buffer itself.
-NOTE: L<Term::UI> is deprecated and may be removed from a future version of Perl.
+For example:
-=item *
+ $ perl -MDevel::Peek -e'$a="abc"; $b = $a; Dump $a; Dump $b'
+ SV = PV(0x260cd80) at 0x2620ad8
+ REFCNT = 1
+ FLAGS = (POK,IsCOW,pPOK)
+ PV = 0x2619bc0 "abc"\0
+ CUR = 3
+ LEN = 16
+ COW_REFCNT = 1
+ SV = PV(0x260ce30) at 0x2620b20
+ REFCNT = 1
+ FLAGS = (POK,IsCOW,pPOK)
+ PV = 0x2619bc0 "abc"\0
+ CUR = 3
+ LEN = 16
+ COW_REFCNT = 1
-L<Test::Harness> has been upgraded from version 3.25_01 to 3.26.
+Note that both scalars share the same PV buffer and have a COW_REFCNT
+greater than zero.
-=item *
+This means that XS code which wishes to modify the C<SvPVX()> buffer of an
+SV should call C<SvPV_force()> or similar first, to ensure a valid (and
+unshared) buffer, and to call C<SvSETMAGIC()> afterwards. This in fact has
+always been the case (for example hash keys were already copy-on-write);
+this change just spreads the COW behaviour to a wider variety of SVs.
-L<Text::Soundex> has been upgraded from version 3.03_01 to 3.04.
+One important difference is that before 5.18.0, shared hash-key scalars
+used to have the C<SvREADONLY> flag set; this is no longer the case.
+
+This new behaviour can still be disabled by running F<Configure> with
+B<-Accflags=-DPERL_NO_COW>. This option will probably be removed in Perl
+5.22.
=item *
-L<Thread::Queue> has been upgraded from version 3.01 to 3.02.
+C<PL_sawampersand> is now a constant. The switch this variable provided
+(to enable/disable the pre-match copy depending on whether C<$&> had been
+seen) has been removed and replaced with copy-on-write, eliminating a few
+bugs.
+
+The previous behaviour can still be enabled by running F<Configure> with
+B<-Accflags=-DPERL_SAWAMPERSAND>.
=item *
-L<Unicode::UCD> has been upgraded from version 0.47 to 0.50.
+The functions C<my_swap>, C<my_htonl> and C<my_ntohl> have been removed.
+It is unclear why these functions were ever marked as I<A>, part of the
+API. XS code can't call them directly, as it can't rely on them being
+compiled. Unsurprisingly, no code on CPAN references them.
=item *
-L<warnings> has been upgraded from version 1.16 to 1.17.
+The signature of the C<Perl_re_intuit_start()> regex function has changed;
+the function pointer C<intuit> in the regex engine plugin structure
+has also changed accordingly. A new parameter, C<strbeg> has been added;
+this has the same meaning as the same-named parameter in
+C<Perl_regexec_flags>. Previously intuit would try to guess the start of
+the string from the passed SV (if any), and would sometimes get it wrong
+(e.g. with an overloaded SV).
