In anticipation for the stable release, we:
- revived the “HTTPS out-of-the-box” project: the CPAN Security Group committed to help us select a workable solution, with a goal of implementing it in time for Perl 5.42
- discussed the minutiae of the next stable release
- decided to do it on 2024-05-24 (Friday)
Just Graham and Paul
- Reviewed the release-blockers label. Only two left, one is a documentation fix (PR22055)
- Reviewed another documentation PR that should go in for 5.40 (PR22200)
Aside from that, things are looking good for making a 5.40 release at the usual schedule in May.
We were back from the PTS in Lisbon, and had a shorter meeting than usual, during which we mostly discussed the last remaining release blockers for 5.40.
