where is whatsnew or changes in strawberry perl package

toohoo has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello dear PerlMonks

I'm searching for a whatsnew.txt or changes.txt for a concrete perl version in the downloaded package (portable version). I guess I only do oversee something. May someone please point me a hint?

bes regards and thanks in advance, Thomas

The release notes in general are at http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html. For example, for `strawberry-perl-5.26.1.1-64bit-portable.zip`, they are here. AFAICT they are not contained in the ZIP archive itself, although the archive does contain a file "`win32/Strawberry Perl Release Notes.url`" that points to the correct URL. Update: The archive also contains the usual perldelta at `perl/lib/pods/perldelta.pod`, although that is just for the general Perl release and not specific to Strawberry Perl.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi toohoo, I don't know about Strawberry Perl, but the changes in the Perl version you are using compared to the previous version are always to be found with `$ perldoc perldelta`. There's also a `Changes` file in each distribution, and you can find more deltas on line at perldelta (current version) and index-history (index to all versions). Hope this helps! update: haukex beat me to it, as usual :-P The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hello 1nickt, this was what I'm was searching for. The command did run also under Windows and did show the changes. Many thanks and have a nice day, Thomas	[reply]
