The London Perl and Raku Workshop takes place on 26th Oct 2024. If your company depends on Perl, please consider sponsoring and/or attending.

Changes for version 5.96

  • Fixed the DOUBLE_BUFFER method, which was previously broken (hence why the release was pulled).
  • Completely removed threads. This breaks the "which_console" method. It just returns 1 always now, and other "_console" methods always think it's console 1. In other words, these methods don't work anymore, but won't break your code.
  • Detecting the current console is up to you now. I suggest "fgconsole".
