C<Data::Dumper> has been upgraded from version 2.125 to 2.130_02.
+The indentation used to be off when C<$Data::Dumper::Terse> was set. This
+has been fixed [perl #73604].
+
This fixes a crash when using custom sort functions that might cause the stack
to change.
C<IPC::Open3> has been upgraded from 1.05 to 1.08.
+C<open3> now produces an error if the C<exec> call fails, allowing this
+condition to be distinguished from a child process that exited with a
+non-zero status [perl #72016].
+
The internal C<xclose> routine now knows how to handle file descriptors, as
documented, so duplicating STDIN in a child process using its file
descriptor now works [perl #76474].
=head2 Changes to Existing Documentation
+=head3 L<perlmodlib>
+
+The perlmodlib page that came with Perl 5.12.0 was missing a lot of
+modules, due to a bug in the script that generates the list. This has been
+fixed [perl #74332].
+
=head3 Replace wrong tr/// table in perlebcdic.pod
perlebcdic.pod contains a helpful table to use in tr/// to convert

+The "Variable $foo is not imported" warning that precedes a
+C<strict 'vars'> error has now been assigned the "misc" category, so that
+C<no warnings> will suppress it [perl #73712].
+
+=item *
+
C<warn> and C<die> now produce 'Wide character' warnings when fed a
character outside the byte range if STDERR is a byte-sized handle.
=item *
+C<perlbug> now looks in the EMAIL environment variable for a return address
+if the REPLY-TO and REPLYTO variables are empty.
+
+=item *
+
C<perlbug> did not previously generate a From: header, potentially
resulting in dropped mail. Now it does include that header.
=item *
+C<when(scalar){...}> no longer crashes, but produces a syntax error
+[perl #74114].
+
+=item *
+
+The C-level C<lex_stuff_pvn> function would sometimes cause a spurious
+syntax error on the last line of the file if it lacked a final semicolon
+[perl #74006].
+
+=item *
+
+The regular expression engine no longer loops when matching
+C<"\N{LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FF}" =~ /f+/i> and similar expressions
+[perl #72998].
+
+=item *
+
+A label right before a string eval (C<foo: eval $string>) no longer causes
+the label to be associated also with the first statement inside the eval
+[perl #74290] (5.12.1).
+
+=item *
+
Naming a deprecated character in \N{...} will not leak memory.
