+=item *
+
+Always add a manifest resource to C<perl.exe> to specify the <trustInfo>
+settings for Windows Vista and later. Without this setting Windows
+will treat C<perl.exe> as a legacy application and apply various
+heuristics like redirecting access to protected file system areas
+(like the "Program Files" folder) to the users "VirtualStore"
+instead of generating a proper "permission denied" error.
+
+For VC8 and VC9 this manifest setting is automatically generated by
+the compiler/linker (together with the binding information for their
+respective runtime libraries); for all other compilers we need to
+embed the manifest resource explicitly in the external resource file.
+
+This change also requests the Microsoft Common-Controls version 6.0
+(themed controls introduced in Windows XP) via the dependency list
+in the assembly manifest. For VC8 and VC9 this is specified using the
+C</manifestdependency> linker commandline option instead.

=head1 Selected Bug Fixes
=item *
-XXX
+Ensure that pp_qr returns a new regexp SV each time. Resolves RT #69852.
+
+Instead of returning a(nother) reference to the (pre-compiled) regexp in the
+optree, use reg_temp_copy() to create a copy of it, and return a reference to
+that. This resolves issues about Regexp::DESTROY not being called in a timely
+fashion (the original bug tracked by RT #69852), as well as bugs related to
+blessing regexps, and of assigning to regexps, as described in correspondence
+added to the ticket.
+
+It transpires that we also need to undo the SvPVX() sharing when ithreads
+cloning a Regexp SV, because mother_re is set to NULL, instead of a cloned
+copy of the mother_re. This change might fix bugs with regexps and threads in
+certain other situations, but as yet neither tests nor bug reports have
+indicated any problems, so it might not actually be an edge case that it's
+possible to reach.
+
+=item *
+
+Several compilation errors and segfaults when perl was built with C<-Dmad> were fixed.
+
+=item *
+
+Fixes for lexer API changes in 5.11.2 which broke NYTProf's savesrc option.

commit 0f907b96d618c97cd2e020841a70ae037954a616
[perl #70171] 5.10.0 -> 5.10.1 Regression in fafafbaf70 (Big slowdown in 5.10 @_ parameter passing)
- In this case my %x = %$x assigns a hash to itself. This causes the
- hv_clear in pp_aassign to wipe away the hash before it can be copied.
- The â\80\98panic: attempt to copy freed scalarâ\80\99 error is triggered by this
- line, which copies the value:
- sv_setsv(tmpstr,*relem); /* value */
-
- The solution is to make sure the OPpASSIGN_COMMON flag is on in such
- cases, so that pp_aassign copies everything before doing the assignment.

-
- Throw away uncleanable scopes when exiting a pseudo-forked process.
-
- Commit adab9969 tried to clean up those additional scopes, but failed
- because some of the memory was allocated from a different pool. To
- avoid triggering the assert() in perl_destruct() this change instead
- moves the one remaining scope back to the root of the stack, effectively
- discarding the additional frames without any further processing.

- perl-5.11.2 breaks NYTProf savesrc option (Lexer API suspected)

- >The primary issue is the off-by-one error in the array indexing.

- There's a bit more to it than that. The indexing was off-by-one for
- *some* places that process a new line, but correct for others, so the
- saved source as a whole was mangled rather than simply offset. Also,
- there were some redundant calls to update_debugger_info(), so some lines
- got saved twice, in some cases off-by-one for one saving and not for
- the other. The saved source is, therefore, hopelessly broken in 5.11.2.
-
- Attached patch fixes the source saving. Includes a new test, which works
- through all reachable places that source lines get saved. This should
- close RT #70804.
