* new memleak patch for perl: staged in git
* other fixes from https://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blob_plain/refs/heads/maint-votes:/votes-5.24.xml ? if there are bug reports in the BTS.
* 5.20 → 5.24 changes for the release notes - #808430
  - removed modules (Module::Build and CGI) → install separate packages
  - dot-in-INC
  - point to https://metacpan.org/pod/release/RJBS/perl-5.22.0/pod/perldelta.pod
