The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically generated from version control history. In particular, it does not include the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to the Perl bug tracker.
Many of the changes included in this version originated in the CPAN modules included in Perl's core. We're grateful to the entire CPAN community for helping Perl to flourish.
For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see the AUTHORS file in the Perl source distribution.
We expect to release perl v5.29.0 tomorrow, followed by v5.29.1 on July 20th. The next major stable release of Perl 5, version 30.0, should appear in June 2019.
In hugs and bugs,
Sawyer X.
