+Many internal improvements to improve the developer experience,
+long-term maintainability, ease-of-installation and compatibility.
+There are also several bugfixes.
-Many of the internal improvements focused on being able to avoid
-Perl startup time in tests. "make check" now runs about 50%
-faster than before, and the new "make check-run" can be around
-30% faster after being primed by "make check".
