Changes for version 2.08 - 2023-05-05

  • Updated non-binding support for Perls to match the policy of the Perl toolchain (Perls older than 10 years old are unsupported, with a one-time exception of Perl 5.16). The intent is not to suddenly drop support for older Perls, but the FFI-Platypus team may take advantage of features in supported Perls that will effectively remove compatability with unsupported Perls.
  • Documentation improvements (gh#392)
