+The overridden C<stat> and C<lstat> functions now always return a scalar value,
+even in list context. Previously a failed stat in list context would return an
+empty list; now it returns C<undef>.

+=item *
+
+C<stat> and C<lstat> can now be called without an argument, in which case they
+will use C<$_>, just like the built-in C<stat>/C<lstat> functions.

+
+It is now safe to pass path objects (e.g. instances of L<Path::Tiny>) to
+C<stat>/C<lstat>. Previously a failed stat operation on such an object would
+die with a cryptic C<Not a GLOB reference at .../File/stat.pm line 208> error.
