-=head1 NAME
-
-perl5143delta - what is new for perl v5.14.3
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-This document describes differences between the 5.14.2 release and
-the 5.14.3 release.
-
-If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.12.0, first read
-L<perl5140delta>, which describes differences between 5.12.0 and
-5.14.0.
-
-=head1 Core Enhancements
-
-No changes since 5.14.0.
-
-=head1 Security
-
-=head2 C<Digest> unsafe use of eval (CVE-2011-3597)
-
-The C<Digest-E<gt>new()> function did not properly sanitize input before
-using it in an eval() call, which could lead to the injection of arbitrary
-Perl code.
-
-In order to exploit this flaw, the attacker would need to be able to set
-the algorithm name used, or be able to execute arbitrary Perl code already.
-
-This problem has been fixed.
-
-=head2 Heap buffer overrun in 'x' string repeat operator (CVE-2012-5195)
-
-Poorly written perl code that allows an attacker to specify the count to
-perl's 'x' string repeat operator can already cause a memory exhaustion
-denial-of-service attack. A flaw in versions of perl before 5.15.5 can
-escalate that into a heap buffer overrun; coupled with versions of glibc
-before 2.16, it possibly allows the execution of arbitrary code.
-
-This problem has been fixed.
-
-=head1 Incompatible Changes
-
-There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.14.0. If any
-exist, they are bugs and reports are welcome.
-
-=head1 Deprecations
-
-There have been no deprecations since 5.14.0.

-user's path) is now used when searching for libraries such as C<-lm>.
-
-=item Mac OS X
-
-The locale tests were updated to reflect the behaviour of locales in
-Mountain Lion.
-
-=item GNU/Hurd
-
-Various build and test fixes were included for GNU/Hurd.

-
-=head1 Bug Fixes
-
-=over 4
-
-=item *
-
-A regression has been fixed that was introduced in 5.14, in C</i>
-regular expression matching, in which a match improperly fails if the
-pattern is in UTF-8, the target string is not, and a Latin-1 character
-precedes a character in the string that should match the pattern. [perl
-#101710]
-
-=item *
-
-In case-insensitive regular expression pattern matching, no longer on
-UTF-8 encoded strings does the scan for the start of match only look at
-the first possible position. This caused matches such as
-C<"f\x{FB00}" =~ /ff/i> to fail.
-
-=item *
-
-The sitecustomize support was made relocatableinc aware, so that
--Dusesitecustomize and -Duserelocatableinc may be used together.
-
-=item *
-
-The smartmatch operator (C<~~>) was changed so that the right-hand side
-takes precedence during C<Any ~~ Object> operations.
-
-=item *
-
-A bug has been fixed in the tainting support, in which an C<index()>
-operation on a tainted constant would cause all other constants to become
-tainted. [perl #64804]
-
-=item *
-
-A regression has been fixed that was introduced in perl 5.12, whereby
-tainting errors were not correctly propagated through C<die()>.
-[perl #111654]
-
-=item *
-
-A regression has been fixed that was introduced in perl 5.14, in which
-C</[[:lower:]]/i> and C</[[:upper:]]/i> no longer matched the opposite case.

-The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically generated
-from version control history. In particular, it does not include the names of
-the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to the Perl bug
-tracker.
-
-Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules
-included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for
-helping Perl to flourish.

-=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.
