Yesterday I released perl v5.24.0-RC1. In around a month, we'll have v5.24.0 released. More or less immediately after that, I will release v5.25.0, kicking off the development branch for the 2017 release of Perl 5. That will be my last release in my four and a half year tenure as pumpking. There are many other things I've been hoping to work on, and I am going to begin focusing more of my time on those, although I will still be active in the Perl community. My first major release of perl was v5.16.0, and I am very pleased with the changes that we have seen since then. When I write Perl 5 code today, I benefit from many of the changes made, and I am sure that we have a better perl today than we did five years ago. I also believe that perl can continue to improve, and I look forward to seeing it happen from the comfort of the passenger's seat. Thanks, everyone, for your time, effort, and support during my time in this role. -- rjbs 🎃
