-Fcntl, Socket, and Sys::Syslog have been rewritten to use the
-new-style constant dispatch section (see L<ExtUtils::Constant>).
+Fcntl, Socket, and Sys::Syslog have been rewritten by Nicholas Clark
+to use the new-style constant dispatch section (see L<ExtUtils::Constant>).
This means that they will be more robust and hopefully faster.

-Net::Ping has been considerably enhanced: multihoming is now supported,
-Win32 functionality is better, there is now time measuring
-functionality (optionally high-resolution using Time::HiRes),
