==== Fedora Project ====

 * Became owner of `trac-spamfilter-plugin` after it was orphaned by FedoraProject:JesseKeating
 * Updated `perl-IO-Socket-SSL` to 1.37 in F-13 and F-14, addressing [[CVE:2010-4334|CVE-2010-4334]] (`IO::Socket::SSL` ignores user request for peer verification); this was already fixed in Rawhide
 * Updated `spambayes` to 1.1a6 in EPEL-6 (as per Rawhide and Fedora 14)
 * Updated `trac-accountmanager-plugin` to the current `HEAD` (revision 9591) of `trunk` (for use with `trac` 0.12.x) in Rawhide, and requested a new branch for EPEL-6
 * Updated `trac-spamfilter-plugin` to the current `HEAD` (revision 10366) of the 0.12 branch (for use with `trac` 0.12.x) in Rawhide and EPEL-6

==== Local Packages ====

 * Updated `perl-Perl-Tidy` to 20101217:
  * Added new flag `-it=n` or `--iterations=n` to make `perltidy` do `n` complete iterations. For most purposes the default of `n=1` should be satisfactory. However, `n=2` can be useful when a major style change is being made, or when code is being beautified on `check-in` to a source code control system. The run time will be approximately proportional to `n`, and it should seldom be necessary to use a value greater than `n=2`.
  * A configuration file pathname beginning with three dots, e.g. "`.../.perltidyrc`", indicates that the file should be searched for starting in the current directory and working upwards. This makes it easier to have multiple projects each with their own `.perltidyrc` in their root directories.
  * Added flag `--notidy` that disables all formatting and causes the input to be copied unchanged. This can be useful in conjunction with hierarchical `.perltidyrc` files to prevent unwanted tidying.
  * Added `prefilters` and `postfilters` in the call to the `Tidy.pm` module. The `prefilter` is a code reference that will be applied to the source before tidying, and the postfilter is a code reference to the result before outputting. This is useful for all manner of customizations, e.g. to convert the '`method`' keyword to '`sub`' so that `perltidy` will work for `Method::Signature::Simple` code:
  . {{{
Perl::Tidy::perltidy(
   prefilter => sub { $_ = $_[0]; s/^method (.*)/sub $1 \#__METHOD/gm; return $_ },
   postfilter => sub { $_ = $_[0]; s/^sub (.*?)\s* \#__METHOD/method $1/gm; return $_ }
);
}}}
  * The starting indentation level of sections of code entabbed with `-et=n` is correctly guessed if it was also produced with the same `-et=n` flag. This keeps the indentation stable on repeated formatting passes within an editor.
  * Functions with prototype '`&`' had a space between the function and opening paren. This space now only occurs if the flag `--space-function-paren` (`-sfp`) is set.
  * Patch to never put spaces around a bare word in braces beginning with `^` as in:
  . {{{
   my $before = ${^PREMATCH};
}}}
  . even if requested with the `-bt=0` flag because any spaces cause a syntax error in `perl`.
