A message from your release manager for the upcoming 4.6.0 tomorrow. master is locked until tomorrow Tuesday for fixes. Please only update release relevant docs.
io_cleanup1 and threads did not make it, sorry. But we'll have a "stable" release. I setup a powerpc32 debian qemu instance and a sparc32 debian also, but it is pretty slow to bootstrap the needed CPAN libraries (~two days), so I could not finish the needed threads tests. I also doubt that debian can reproduce the PPC macos classic errors kid51 saw on his powerbook, as I believe the threads test failures stem from shared resource errors with parallel testing. I'll update http://blogs.perl.org/users/rurban/2012/07/architecture-testing.html with the necessary steps. ChangeLog: There was not much traffic this month.
