Release announcement for perl 5.39.9
"I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that
truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

-- Terry Pratchett, Sourcery

We are ecstatic to announce version 5.39.9, the 9th
development release of version 5.39 of Perl.

You will soon be able to download Perl 5.39.9 from your favourite CPAN
mirror or find it at:

https://metacpan.org/release/PEVANS/perl-5.39.9/

SHA256 digests for this release are:

c589d2e36cbb8db30fb73f661ef2c06ffe9c680f8ebe417169ec259b48ec2119 perl-5.39.9.tar.gz
93cb99391fda46e7a0489d4c3501d2053cab1d386361586571ad12a05b4a0160 perl-5.39.9.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/PEVANS/perl-5.39.9/view/pod/perldelta.pod

Perl 5.39.9 represents approximately 4 weeks of development since Perl
5.39.8 and contains approximately 15,000 lines of changes across 230
files from 21 authors.

Excluding auto-generated files, documentation and release tools, there
were approximately 4,400 lines of changes to 140 .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 5.39.9:

Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chris 'BinGOs' Williams, Dan Kogai, David
Mitchell, Elvin Aslanov, Graham Knop, guoguangwu, James E Keenan, James
Raspass, Karl Williamson, Leon Timmermans, Lukas Mai, Martijn Lievaart,
Paul Evans, Paul Marquess, Renee Baecker, Richard Leach, Sisyphus, Tom
Hughes, 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 AUTHORS file in the Perl source distribution.

We expect to release version 5.39.10 on or around 2024-April-20.
The next major stable release of Perl should appear in the first half
of 2024.

Thanks,
