+
+perl5397delta - what is new for perl v5.39.7
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This document describes differences between the 5.39.6 release and the 5.39.7
+release.
+
+If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.39.5, first read
+L<perl5396delta>, which describes differences between 5.39.5 and 5.39.6.
+
+=head1 Modules and Pragmata
+
+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.)

+=item *
+
+C<dAX>, C<dITEMS> and hence C<dXSARGS> now declare C<AX> and C<items>
+as C<Stack_off_t> rather than C<SSize_t>. This reverts back to
+compatibility with pre-64-bit stack support for default builds of perl
+where C<Stack_off_t> is C<I32>. [GH #21782]
+
+=item *
+
+A new function is now available to C<XS> code, L<perlapi/sv_langinfo>.
+This provides the same information as the existing
+L<perlapi/Perl_langinfo8>, but returns an SV instead of a S<C<char *>>,
+so that programmers don't have to concern themselves with the UTF-8ness
+of the result. This new function is now the preferred interface for
+C<XS> code to the L<nl_langinfo(3)> C<libc> function. From Perl space,
+this information continues to be provided by the L<I18N::Langinfo>
+module.

+=head1 Acknowledgements
+
+Perl 5.39.7 represents approximately 3 weeks of development since Perl
+5.39.6 and contains approximately 7,300 lines of changes across 160 files
+from 16 authors.
+
+Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
+approximately 5,600 lines of changes to 79 .pm, .t, .c and .h files.
+
+Perl continues to flourish into its fourth decade thanks to a vibrant
+community of users and developers. The following people are known to have
+contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.39.7:
+
+Craig A. Berry, Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker, David Mitchell, Elvin Aslanov,
+H.Merijn Brand, James E Keenan, Karen Etheridge, Karl Williamson, Mathias
+Kende, Max Maischein, Peter John Acklam, Philippe Bruhat (BooK), Todd
+Rinaldo, Tony Cook, Yves Orton, Дилян Палаузов.
+
+The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically
+generated from version control history. In particular, it does not include
+the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to
+the Perl bug tracker.
+
+Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules
+included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for
+helping Perl to flourish.
+
+For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please
+see the F<AUTHORS> file in the Perl source distribution.
+
+=head1 Reporting Bugs
+
+If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the perl bug database
+at L<https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues>. There may also be information at
+L<http://www.perl.org/>, the Perl Home Page.
+
+If you believe you have an unreported bug, please open an issue at
+L<https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues>. Be sure to trim your bug down to a
+tiny but sufficient test case.
+
+If the bug you are reporting has security implications which make it
+inappropriate to send to a public issue tracker, then see
+L<perlsec/SECURITY VULNERABILITY CONTACT INFORMATION>
+for details of how to report the issue.
+
+=head1 Give Thanks
+
+If you wish to thank the Perl 5 Porters for the work we had done in Perl 5,
+you can do so by running the C<perlthanks> program:
+
+ perlthanks
+
+This will send an email to the Perl 5 Porters list with your show of thanks.

+
+XXX For a release on a stable branch, this section aspires to be:

+=head1 Deprecations
+
+XXX Any deprecated features, syntax, modules etc. should be listed here.
+
+=head2 Module removals
+
+XXX Remove this section if not applicable.
+
+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.
