- Log ----------------------------------------------------------------- commit a3a9a3d2375cd438b807eb1e1d5b49e1e9bcef3b Author: Karl Williamson <[email protected]> Date: Mon May 22 23:23:44 2017 -0600 perldelta: Make links to ticket numbers Spotted by Tony Cook. I did not verify that all these links work; if there was already a typo in the ticket number, the link will fail. M pod/perldelta.pod commit 5d7d637c42e277758f5b5296e9c1c530cb2255e7 Author: Karl Williamson <[email protected]> Date: Mon May 22 23:09:17 2017 -0600 perldelta: Use '#' for ticket number Tony Cook spotted that we sometimes say [perl 000] and sometimes [perl #000]. Make them consistent.

Move it to the area where others like it are. M pod/perldelta.pod commit acea31049bffc8343459ced3d06324f12b6caea3 Author: Karl Williamson <[email protected]> Date: Mon May 22 22:33:15 2017 -0600 perldelta: Move some bug fixes to proper section Somehow these ended up under changed diagnostics, though one could argue they kinda sorta might belong under diagnostics. M pod/perldelta.pod commit 906e28fbc1c7cb26e317fd800739f7f885d64f50 Author: Karl Williamson <[email protected]> Date: Mon May 22 22:27:26 2017 -0600 perldelta: Fix up "Experimental %s on scalar" msg This is changed to the format of the other entries that describe a single message, and moved to the list of those, sorted alphabetically.
