16=head1 Incompatible Changes
17
18XXX For a release on a stable branch, this section aspires to be:
19
20 There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.XXX.XXX. If any
21 exist, they are bugs and reports are welcome.
22
23
24=head1 Core Enhancements
25
26XXX New core language features go here. Summarise user-visible core language
27enhancements. Particularly prominent performance optimisations could go
28here, but most should go in the L</Performance Enhancements> section.
29
30=head1 New Platforms
31
32XXX List any platforms that this version of perl compiles on, that previous
33versions did not. These will either be enabled by new files in the F<hints/>
34directories, or new subdirectories and F<README> files at the top level of the
35source tree.
36
37=head1 Modules and Pragmata
38
39XXX All changes to installed files in F<ext/> and F<lib/> go here, in a list
40ordered by distribution name. Minimally it should be the module version,
41but it's more useful to the end user to give a paragraph's summary of the
42module's changes. In an ideal world, dual-life modules would have a
43F<Changes> file that could be cribbed.

241
242=head1 Reporting Bugs
243
244If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles
245recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl
246bug database at http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . There may also be
247information at http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page.
248
249If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the B<perlbug>
250program included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down
251to a tiny but sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the
252output of C<perl -V>, will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be
253analysed by the Perl porting team.
254
255If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it
256inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send
257it to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription
258unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who be able
259to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help
260co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all
261platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for
262security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently
263distributed on CPAN.
