----------------
Version 5.003_20
----------------
The only language change in this release is the recension of support
for named closures: Now, no subroutine declared "sub foo {}" can be
a closure. (This is a return to the behavior of 5.003.) In addition,
there are new warnings triggered by any apparent attempt to use named
functions as closures.
And, as usual, there are the usual little fixes, documentation
updates, and expanded tests. This is good stuff. "I love you, man!"

----------------
Version 5.003_19
----------------
Lots of internal cleanup in this patch, especially plugged memory
leaks when embedded Perl interpreters shut down and restart. The
method cache is now invisible to user code. And there is a new test
directory, "t/pragma".
IMHO, this is Beta quality code.
Here's a list of the more significant changes...

----------------
Version 5.003_15
----------------
As soon as I posted 5.003_14, I found a fatal error in it. :-(
This release is strictly a bug fix -- it removes some function caching
changes that were supposed to be improvements, but weren't.
----------------
Version 5.003_14
----------------
We seem to have achieved "release candidate" status.
