commit 4a292fc5f1b9c62ae52c835d69cb90c874a52ca0
Author: Abigail <abig...@abigail.be>
Date: Tue Dec 18 01:29:00 2018 +0100
Perlhist: Date of the 5.29.6 release.
commit e99a01d19e5220fc585dc37fbe9388a9cfcaed12
Author: Abigail <abig...@abigail.be>
Date: Tue Dec 18 01:25:21 2018 +0100
Perlhist: Fix the release dates for 5.29.[345].
These releases were made in 2018, not 2019.
commit 8bde7ec379718632644dafe9af795a3610e8c580
Author: Abigail <abig...@abigail.be>
Date: Tue Dec 18 01:21:42 2018 +0100
Perldelta: Don't put a reference to an RT ticket in its own paragraph.
commit e6bc0ef7f2eda7f8f6b73a3bfb17c3bdc353f310
Author: Abigail <abig...@abigail.be>
Date: Tue Dec 18 01:20:31 2018 +0100
Perldelta: Linkefy references to Perl RT tickets in the Modules section.
commit 285b03a6d7b8856bd9ec4eb54dae1165787379a4
Author: Abigail <abig...@abigail.be>
Date: Tue Dec 18 01:13:28 2018 +0100
Errata in perldelta.
A change in 5.29.4 was misworded in its perldelta. Karl fixed the wording
in perl5294delta, and added the corrected text in this perldelta, under
the Core Enhancements section.
The Errata section is more appropriate.
