<. We thank the TPF sponsors to make this grant possible.
<pre>I spent last month mainly:
* Fixing some issues thrown up by the new OP_MULTICONCAT optimisation;
* Fixing some regressions in deparse testing: 't/TEST -deparse' feeds every
test suite script through the deparser before trying to run it; about 6
scripts that formerly passed had started failing. I fixed all these, and
removed another 6 or so scripts from the 'expected to fail' exclusion
list.
