Since these files had become very large, and since the +same information is now freely available online, it was decided to remove +them from subsequent releases. + +If you need access to these removed files, then they can be be found most +recently in the 5.8.9 and 5.10.0 tarballs, at + + http://www.cpan.org/src/perl-5.8.9.tar.gz + http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.10.0.tar.gz + +The contents of the files in question can mostly be regenerated using git +commands. The following table shows the equivalents. Note that the files +prior to Changes5.005 were not simple lists of commits, so can't be +recreated just by running the git command. As it happens, even the latter +ones are not exact equivalents. This is due to a combination of errors in +the original Changes files, and "impedance mismatches" when the previous +version control data was imported into git in December 2008. + +For example, the Changes5.005 file includes 206 spurious entries from the +maint5.004 Perforce branch. + +Running the following command with the range argument shown in the table +will produce *approximately* the same list of changes in the specified +file shown from the listed tarball. + + git log --name-status + + file tarball argument to 'git log' + ------------ ------ -------------------------------- + Changes5.000 Either N/A + Changes5.001 Either perl-5.000..perl-5.001 + Changes5.002 Either perl-5.001..perl-5.002 + Changes5.003 Either perl-5.002..perl-5.003 + Changes5.004 Either perl-5.003..perl-5.004 + Changes5.005 Either perl-5.004..perl-5.005_03 + Changes5.6 Either perl-5.005_03..perl-5.6.0 + Changes5.8 Either perl-5.6.0..perl-5.8.0 + Changes5.8.1 5.8.9 perl-5.8.0..perl-5.8.1 ^1ede746b + Changes5.8.2 5.8.9 perl-5.8.1..perl-5.8.2 + Changes5.8.3 5.8.9 perl-5.8.2..perl-5.8.3 + Changes5.8.4 5.8.9 perl-5.8.3..perl-5.8.4 + Changes5.8.5 5.8.9 perl-5.8.4..perl-5.8.5 ^3a81978b + Changes5.8.6 5.8.9 perl-5.8.5..perl-5.8.6 ^498d59dd + Changes5.8.7 5.8.9 perl-5.8.6..perl-5.8.7 + Changes5.8.8 5.8.9 perl-5.8.7..perl-5.8.8 + Changes 5.8.9 perl-5.8.8..perl-5.8.9 + Changes 5.10.0 perl-5.8.0..perl-5.10.0
