The new way is undesirably repetitive, but at least grammatically
correct. I don't think there's a better solution with texinfo :-/
It doesn't make sense to have docs online relating to a release which
isn't yet available; it's less confusing to have a small time window
in which the online docs are out of date.
t/cli.t calls scripts which run with the first perl found in the
user's PATH (usually the system perl), not with the perl used for the
build, as reported here:

Thanks to Slaven Rezic for spotting this and reporting it!
stow 2.3.0 added external runtime dependencies on Hash::Merge and
Clone::Choose. Historically stow hasn't had runtime dependencies other
than Perl itself, which is a useful property if you're managing the
installation of Perl using stow; the bootstrapping instructions in
stow's manual would need updating to describe how to install these two
modules (and any dependencies they have now or in the future) as well.
However, Hash::Merge is much more general than stow actually needs, so
replace the merge() call with a few lines of equivalent code -- this
avoids the external dependencies, and is clearer than the merge()
call.
Many thanks to Adam Sampson for this patch:

.stowrc can be obtained from $HOME and/or the current working
directory; however only the $HOME case was tested before, because
during tests Stow was being run from $HOME.
So switch $TEST_DIR to an absolute path, create a new run_from/
subdirectory, and chdir to that before invoking any Stow code. This
allows us to test the behaviour of .stowrc in $HOME and run_from/
separately.
The source code has been through a rather complicated journey, and
it's occasionally useful to understand this history from CVS to a
private Subversion repository to its current location in git. So
document this more thoroughly, and ensure that everyone involved
is in the THANKS file.
