-=head1 NAME
-
-perl5114delta - what is new for perl v5.11.4
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-This document describes differences between the 5.11.3 release and
-the 5.11.4 release.
-
-If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.11.2, first read
-L<perl5113delta>, which describes differences between 5.11.2 and
-5.11.3.
-
-=head1 Incompatible Changes
-
-=head2 Version number formats
-
-Acceptable version number formats have been formalized into "strict" and
-"lax" rules. C<package NAME VERSION> takes a strict version number. C<use
-NAME VERSION> takes a lax version number. C<UNIVERSAL::VERSION> and the
-L<version> object constructors take lax version numbers. Providing an
-invalid version will result in a fatal error.
-
-These formats will be documented fully in the L<version> module in a
-subsequent release of Perl 5.11. To a first approximation, a "strict"
-version number is a positive decimal number (integer or decimal-fraction)
-without exponentiation or else a dotted-decimal v-string with a leading 'v'
-character and at least three components. A "lax" version number allows
-v-strings with fewer than three components or without a leading 'v'. Under
-"lax" rules, both decimal and dotted-decimal versions may have a trailing
-"alpha" component separated by an underscore character after a fractional
-or dotted-decimal component.
-
-The L<version> module adds C<version::is_strict> and C<version::is_lax>
-functions to check a scalar against these rules.
-
-=head1 Core Enhancements
-
-=head2 Unicode properties
-
-C<\p{XDigit}> now matches the same characters as C<\p{Hex_Digit}>. This
-means that in addition to the characters it currently matches,
-C<[A-Fa-f0-9]>, it will also match their fullwidth equivalent forms, for
-example U+FF10: FULLWIDTH DIGIT ZERO.

-=head1 New or Changed Diagnostics
-
-=over 4
-
-=item New warning category C<illegalproto>
-
-The two warnings :
-
- Illegal character in prototype for %s : %s
- Prototype after '%c' for %s : %s
-
-have been moved from the C<syntax> top-level warnings category into a new
-first-level category, C<illegalproto>. These two warnings are currently the
-only ones emitted during parsing of an invalid/illegal prototype, so one
-can now do
-
- no warnings 'illegalproto';
-
-to suppress only those, but not other syntax-related warnings. Warnings where
-prototypes are changed, ignored, or not met are still in the C<prototype>
-category as before. (Matt S. Trout)
-
-=item lvalue attribute ignored after the subroutine has been defined
-
-This new warning is issued when one attempts to mark a subroutine as
-lvalue after it has been defined.

-=head1 Known Problems
-
-Perl 5.11.4 is a development release leading up to Perl 5.12.0.
-Some notable known problems found in 5.11.4 are listed as dependencies
-of RT #69710, the Perl 5 version 12 meta-ticket.
-
-=head1 Deprecations
-
-The following items are now deprecated.
-
-=over 4
-
-=item C<< UNIVERSAL-E<gt>import() >>
-
-The method C<< UNIVERSAL-E<gt>import() >> is now deprecated. Attempting to
-pass import arguments to a C<use UNIVERSAL> statement will result in a
-deprecation warning. (This is a less noisy version of the full deprecation
-warning added in 5.11.0.)

-=head1 Reporting Bugs
-
-If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles
-recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl
-bug database at L<http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/>. There may also be
-information at L<http://www.perl.org/>, the Perl Home Page.
-
-If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the B<perlbug>
-program included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down
-to a tiny but sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the
-output of C<perl -V>, will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be
-analyzed by the Perl porting team.
-
-If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it
-inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send
-it to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription
-unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who be able
-to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help
-co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all
-platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for
-security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently
-distributed on CPAN.
