-The compiled representation of formats is now stored via the mg_ptr of
-their PERL_MAGIC_fm. Previously it was stored in the string buffer,
-beyond SvLEN(), the regular end of the string. SvCOMPILED() and
-SvCOMPILED_{on,off}() now exist solely for compatibility for XS code.
-The first is always 0, the other two now no-ops.

-=head1 Bug Fixes
-
-=over 4
-
-=item *
-
-A bug has been fixed that would cause a "Use of freed value in iteration"
-error if the next two hash elements that would be iterated over are
-deleted. [perl #85026]
-
-=item *
-
-Passing the same constant subroutine to both C<index> and C<formline> no
-longer causes one or the other to fail. [perl #89218]
-
-=item *
-
-5.14.0 introduced some memory leaks in regular expression character
-classes such as C<[\w\s]>, which have now been fixed.
-
-=item *
-
-An edge case in regular expression matching could potentially loop.
-This happened only under C</i> in bracketed character classes that have
-characters with multi-character folds, and the target string to match
-against includes the first portion of the fold, followed by another
-character that has a multi-character fold that begins with the remaining
-portion of the fold, plus some more.
-
- "s\N{U+DF}" =~ /[\x{DF}foo]/i
-
-is one such case. C<\xDF> folds to C<"ss">.
-
-=item *
-
-Several Unicode case-folding bugs have been fixed.
-
-=item *
-
-The new (in 5.14.0) regular expression modifier C</a> when repeated like
-C</aa> forbids the characters outside the ASCII range that match
-characters inside that range from matching under C</i>. This did not
-work under some circumstances, all involving alternation, such as:
-
- "\N{KELVIN SIGN}" =~ /k|foo/iaa;
-
-succeeded inappropriately. This is now fixed.
-
-=item *
-
-Fixed a case where it was possible that a freed buffer may have been read
-from when parsing a here document.

-=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 http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . There may also be
-information at http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page.
-
-If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the L<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
-analysed 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.
