Strawberry Perl 5.42.0.1 64-bit UCRT

Strawberry Perl 5.42.0.1.

MSI, portable and PDL editions.

Compiled using GCC 13.2 with UCRT.

Main differences from a standard Windows perl build using GCC:

• Perl has been compiled using the same optimisations as Strawberry Perl 5.38.2.2. This uses additional options compared to the default -Os. Config_heavy.pl has then been updated to use -O2 when building CPAN distributions.

Update 2025-09-15: The release notes are in draft form only and need to be edited before being uploaded to the website. In particular, DBD::MySql is not part of the release (see discussion in #157).
