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 4.0.0 - 2024-06-16

  • This new major version removes support for Perl 5.16 and requires Perl 5.30 instead. It also removes support for Git 1.8.3 and requires at least Git 2.25.1 instead.
  • This was motivated by the CentOS release policy changes which essentially stopped it from producing new releases. Also, by the EOL of Ubuntu 18.04.
  • We take advantage of this incompatible change to also remove several configuration options which were deprecated more than two years ago.
  • Incompatible changes
    • Require Perl 5.30 and Git 2.25.1, which are used by Ubuntu 20.04. A few simplifications and improvements were made on the code.
    • Remove the following deprecated options. Check their documentation on the previous version to know how to replace them with newer options.
      • githooks.disable
      • githooks.checkfile.deny-token
