- Problem killing a pseudo-forked child on Win32
http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=42869
- fix the non-threaded build problems on Win32
- make sure Ævar can release plugin re engines
- tied filehandles and write() don't mix (new feature)
- weird perlio bug:
$ bleadperl -wle 'open STDOUT, ">", \$stdout or die$!'
Bad file descriptor at -e line 1.
- perlreref out of date probably
Also, I'm getting married on Saturday. I'll then spend one week in
Venice with the new Mrs Garcia-Suarez. Don't expect a lot of mail from
me during this week :)
Afterwards, we'll really look into that releasing thing.

> OK, we're getting close. Here's my todo list for 5.10 :
You should probably add:
- Fix inevitable breakage in lots of weird places once $^V is
incremented from 5.9.x to 5.10.x; this will definitely affect Configure
and some core tests (the latter of which I can take a look at proactively).
> Also, I'm getting married on Saturday.
Congratulations! Don't send any e-mail from Venice; you don't want your
computer to get thrown into a canal by accident... ;-)

IIRC I already looked at Configure proactively a while back

out motherboard contacts randomly with soaking-wet weasels might get
better performance than putting in a carefully designed graphics board."

speaking from personal experience here and it doesn't go down well. I've
never been able to quite work that out, the difference between a book and a
laptop, but there it is, for what it's worth.
Enjoy 8-)

Ha, you think it was an *accident*?
More seriously though, Sébastien "maddingue" Aperghis-Tramoni and I
talked about 5.10 at last year's FPW. We need to address the PR issue
surrounding the release, just as much as the technical side. We need a
handy slashdot-load-able technical article that touts the new features,
and another more corporate/PHB article that slims down on the technics
and loads up on the hype.
I gave a talk at the FPW about goodness in 5.10 that was very well
received. I volunteer to write the technical article or at least
shepherd the commentary. I'm probably no good at writing for the
non-technical audience. Andy? Ovid?
We can't just build it and they will come. We need to make the most of
this opportunity.
Seriously hoping this doesn't devolve into a massive thread of acrimony
and bickering....

I've been seriously short on time lately, but I'm happy to edit such a piece
or contribute in any other writery way.

Largely fixed by Dave in #31188 (except for the "Free to wrong pool"
error, which may be due to pseudo-fork not working in a BEGIN block anyway?)

Fixed by Jan in #31220.
