=head1 Selected Bug Fixes

=over 4

=item *

Fix parsing of hexadecimal floating-point numbers whose significand
(aka "mantissa") values are too large to fit in UV range.
Such literals (for example, C<0x1234567890.1p+0> for 32-bit IV/UV
platform, or C<0x1234567890_1234567890.1p+0> for 64-bit IV/UV)
used to be parsed incorrectly.

=item *

Perl 5.42.0 does not handle the transition to/from daylight savings time
properly.  The time and/or timezone can be off by an hour in the
intervals surrounding such transitions.  This is a regression from
earlier releases, and is now fixed.  This bug was evident from perl
space in the L<POSIX/strftime> function, and in XS code with any of
L<perlapi/my_strftime>, L<perlapi/sv_strftime_ints>, or
L<perlapi/sv_strftime_tm>.
