Be embraced, all ye millions!
With a kiss for all the world!
Brothers, beyond the stars
Surely dwells a loving Father.
Do you kneel before Him, oh millions?
Do you feel the Creator's presence?
Seek Him beyond the stars!
He must dwell beyond the stars.
-- Friedrich Schiller, "Ode to joy"
We are happy to announce version 5.39.8,
the ninth development release of version 5.39 of Perl.
You will soon be able to download Perl 5.39.8 from your
favorite CPAN mirror or find it at:
https://metacpan.org/release/RENEEB/perl-5.39.8/
SHA256 digests for this release are:
25f8b4db7a7d91c051b1c2594ed83c291c74c1012da559a8d580755b598bb7e3

perl-5.39.8.tar.xz
You can find a full list of changes in the file "perldelta.pod" located in
the "pod" directory inside the release and on the web at
https://metacpan.org/release/RENEEB/perl-5.39.8/view/pod/perldelta.pod
Perl 5.39.8 represents approximately 5 weeks of development since Perl
5.39.7 and contains approximately 9,100 lines of changes across 170 files
from 24 authors.
Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there were
approximately 4,900 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 5.39.8:
Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Craig A. Berry, Daniel Böhmer, Dan Jacobson, David
Mitchell, Elvin Aslanov, Graham Knop, H.Merijn Brand, James E Keenan, John
Karr, Karen Etheridge, Karl Williamson, Leon Timmermans, Lukas Mai, Marek
Rouchal, Mathias Kende, Max Maischein, Paul Evans, Renee Baecker, Richard
Leach, Sisyphus, TAKAI Kousuke, Tony Cook, Yves Orton.
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.
We expect to release version 5.39.9 on March 20th, 2024
The next major stable release of Perl should appear in the first half of
2024.
Cheers
Renée
