-
- L<B::Deparse> has been upgraded from version 1.17 to 1.18. It no longer
- dies when deparsing C<sort> without arguments. It now correctly omits the
- comma for C<system $prog @args> and C<exec $prog @args>.

-
- L<bignum>, L<bigint> and L<bigrat> have been upgraded from version 0.30 to
- 0.31. The overrides for C<hex> and C<oct> have been rewritten, eliminating
- several problems, and making one incompatible change:
-
- =over
-
- =item *
-
- Formerly, whichever of C<use bigint> or C<use bigrat> was compiled later
- would take precedence over the other, causing C<hex> and C<oct> not to
- respect the other pragma when in scope.
-
- =item *
-
- Using any of these three pragmata would cause C<hex> and C<oct> anywhere
- else in the program to evalute their arguments in list context and prevent
- them from inferring $_ when called without arguments.
-
- =item *
-
- Using any of these three pragmata would make C<oct("1234")> return 1234
- (for any number not beginning with 0) anywhere in the program. Now "1234"
- is translated from octal to decimal, whether within the pragma's scope or
- not.
-
- =item *
-
- The global overrides that facilitate lexical use of C<hex> and C<oct> now
- respect any existing overrides that were in place before the new overrides
- were installed, falling back to them outside of the scope of C<use bignum>.
-
- =item *
-
- C<use bignum "hex">, C<use bignum "oct"> and similar invocations for bigint
- and bigrat now export a C<hex> or C<oct> function, instead of providing a
- global override.
