This version (like all major version updates) is binary incompatible with XS modules and applications linked against the Perl DLL, these will have to be rebuilt using the new Perl. Due to the large version jump (from 5.14.4), there are lots of user-visible changes and deprecations. To learn about these, please consult: 5.22.0 http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5220delta.html 5.20.0 http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5200delta.html 5.18.0 http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5180delta.html 5.16.0 http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5160delta.html The next Perl release 5.22.1 (a maintenance release) is expected somewhere in September at the moment. *** IMPORTANT *** Due to the large version jump (from 5.14.4), all Perl distributions and packages using Perl under the hood needed to be updated as well. Five packages still need to be updated for the new Perl: amanda, ming, pristine-tar, grepmail and sendxmpp. If you are using one of those pakcages, please wait with the Perl update until these have been updated as well. -- *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
