<p>For an overview of what's changed in this release, see pod/perldelta.pod.</p>
160+
161+
<p>For the details of changes in previous releases, see the individual
162+
perlNNNdelta.pod files. For example, pod/perl588delta.pod describes the
163+
changes between versions 5.8.7 and 5.8.8.</p>
164+
165+
<p>For a list of contributors to perl, see AUTHORS.</p>
166+
167+
<p>If you need a detailed commit history (i.e. descriptions of each
168+
individual commit), you can view the git version control history online
169+
at http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git (follow the 'shortlog' link beside
170+
the relevant tag). Or, you can download a copy of the git repository and
171+
then run a command like</p>
172+
173+
<pre><code>git log --name-status v5.12.0..v5.14.0
174+
</code></pre>
175+
176+
<p>to view all the changes between 5.12.0 and 5.14.0.</p>
177+
178+
<p>See pod/perlgit.pod for more details on using git and accessing the
179+
commit history.</p>
180+
181+
<p>In perl releases prior to 2009, the source tarball included a collection
182+
of Changes files that listed the individual commits that had gone into
183+
each release. Since these files had become very large, and since the
184+
same information is now freely available online, it was decided to remove
185+
them from subsequent releases.</p>
186+
187+
<p>If you need access to these removed files, then they can be be found most
188+
recently in the 5.8.9 and 5.10.0 tarballs, at</p>
189+
190+
<pre><code>http://www.cpan.org/src/perl-5.8.9.tar.gz
191+
http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.10.0.tar.gz
192+
</code></pre>
193+
194+
<p>The contents of the files in question can mostly be regenerated using git
195+
commands. The following table shows the equivalents. Note that the files
196+
prior to Changes5.005 were not simple lists of commits, so can't be
197+
recreated just by running the git command. As it happens, even the latter
198+
ones are not exact equivalents. This is due to a combination of errors in
199+
the original Changes files, and "impedance mismatches" when the previous
200+
version control data was imported into git in December 2008.</p>
201+
202+
<p>For example, the Changes5.005 file includes 206 spurious entries from the
203+
maint5.004 Perforce branch.</p>
204+
205+
<p>Running the following command with the range argument shown in the table
206+
will produce <em>approximately</em> the same list of changes in the specified
207+
file shown from the listed tarball.</p>
208+
209+
<pre><code>git log --name-status &lt;range&gt;

<h1>cperl status</h1>
2+
3+
<p>cperl started Feb. 2015 when :const was added, parrot was killed, the
4+
trust in the maintenance capabilities of p5p eroded beyond repair, and
5+
it became clear that optimizing for fun is better than waiting for
6+
someone else to allow it.</p>
7+
8+
<p>A 5.22 based variant with classes ("perl with classes"), types,
9+
compiler support ("compilable perl"), or just a company-friendly perl.</p>
10+
11+
<p>Currently it is about 1.5x faster than perl5.22 overall, >2x faster
12+
then 5.14 and uses the least amount of memory measured since 5.6,
13+
i.e. less than 5.10 and 5.6.2, which were the previous leaders. While
14+
perl5.22 uses the most memory yet measured. But not all of the wanted
15+
features are merged. The plan is to support most perl5-compatible
16+
perl6 features, improve performance and memory usage, better compiler
17+
(B::C) support, and provide better security fixes and maintenance than
18+
p5p perl5.</p>
19+
20+
<p>Tested and developed on linux and darwin 64bit. 32bit does not work yet!</p>
21+
22+
<p>The first release based on 5.22.1 is scheduled on Sep 14. 2015.</p>
23+
24+
<p>All tests pass, most of CPAN works, 3 fixes in the distroprefs repo
25+
for Variable::Magic and CPAN::Meta::Requirements and version are needed.</p>
