New in ActivePerl 5.10.0 Build 1003
===================================

* ActivePerl::Config on Windows now dynamically sets the
$Config{ccversion} to the version of cl.exe. This allows
ExtUtils::MakeMaker to generate and embed manifest files
into extension DLL when required by the specific version of
the C compiler.

* The GCC support for Windows in ActivePerl::Config now adds the
-mms- bitfields option to the ccflags when compiling with GCC.
This forces identical struct layouts with Visual C++, which is
used to compile ActivePerl itself. This has become important
because core Perl 5.10 now uses bit-fields for some important
structures.
