+XXX Any important notices here

+=head1 Core Enhancements
-=item *
+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.
-L<bytes> has been upgraded from version 1.07 to 1.08.
+[ List each enhancement as a =head2 entry ]
-=item *
+=head1 Security
-L<CPAN> has been upgraded from version 2.27 to 2.28.
+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.
-=item *
+[ List each security issue as a =head2 entry ]
-L<Data::Dumper> has been upgraded from version 2.175 to 2.176.
+=head1 Incompatible Changes
-=item *
+XXX For a release on a stable branch, this section aspires to be:
-L<DB> has been upgraded from version 1.58 to 1.59.
+ 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.
-=item *
+[ List each incompatible change as a =head2 entry ]
-L<DB_File> has been upgraded from version 1.854 to 1.855.
+=head1 Deprecations
-=item *
+XXX Any deprecated features, syntax, modules etc. should be listed here.
-L<Devel::Peek> has been upgraded from version 1.29 to 1.30.
+=head2 Module removals
-=item *
+XXX Remove this section if not applicable.
-L<Devel::PPPort> has been upgraded from version 3.60 to 3.62.
+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.
-=item *
+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.
-L<Digest> has been upgraded from version 1.17_01 to 1.19.
+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.
-=item *

-L<Digest::MD5> has been upgraded from version 2.55_01 to 2.58.

+=head1 Modules and Pragmata
-=item *
+XXX All changes to installed files in F<cpan/>, F<dist/>, F<ext/> and F<lib/>
+go here. If Module::CoreList is updated, generate an initial draft of the
+following sections using F<Porting/corelist-perldelta.pl>. A paragraph summary
+for important changes should then be added by hand. In an ideal world,
+dual-life modules would have a F<Changes> file that could be cribbed.
-L<ExtUtils::PL2Bat> has been upgraded from version 0.002 to 0.003.
+The list of new and updated modules is modified automatically as part of
+preparing a Perl release, so the only reason to manually add entries here is if
+you're summarising the important changes in the module update. (Also, if the
+manually-added details don't match the automatically-generated ones, the
+release manager will have to investigate the situation carefully.)
