release_managers_guide: make into two logical sections:

WIFEXITED() cygwin regression
t/run/exit.t:58: eval { POSIX::WIFEXITED() };
fails on the new cygwin-1.7 with
5 [main] perl 3500 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp
before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0x
C0000005, errno 11
...
until I kill perl, because you must use an argument for WIFEXITED.
It didn't fail before, so I assume it's a cygwin regression, but it
must be fixed in the perl testsuite,
since an empty argument cries for trouble.
Use 0 or 1 as argument, ${^CHILD_ERROR_NATIVE} preferred.

bump-perl-version false positives
In the runup to 5.10.1, Dave created bump-perl-version to automate
the tedious process of incrementing the Perl version number. Trying
it out on blead, I found that there are a few files it matches
which either mention a version of Perl and then say "replace 5.x.y with
your version of Perl" or which are describing changes in a particular
version of perl. The attached patch skips those files.
At this point, we're down to 18 files which need to be changed to bump
the version at release time.

version bump is purely to allow the release the new version on
CPAN and to make it possible to include a non dev release in

did trim whitespace from Install.pm, so if you want to see the

This patch inserts a short paragraph with security contact

much better swap logic to support reentrancy and fix assert failure
Commit
c74340f9 added backreferences as well as the idea of a ->swap
regex pointer to keep track of the match offsets in case of backtracking.
The problem is that when Perl re-enters the regex engine to handle
utf8::SWASHNEW, the ->swap is not saved/restored/cleared so any capture
from the utf8 (Perl) code could inadvertently modify the regex match
data that caused the utf8 swash to get built.
This change should close out RT #60508
