Fedora Project

  • Updated spamass-milter to 0.3.2 in F-15 and Rawhide (fix for popen unsanitized input vulnerability: CVE-2010-1132); this fix has been in Fedora for many months already but was just included in a new upstream release

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Coro to 5.26

    • Automatically load Coro::Channel, Coro::RWLock, Coro::Semaphore, Coro::SemaphoreSet, Coro::Signal and Coro::Specific on first "new" method call

    • Undocument Coro::Timer::sleep and obsolete whole module

    • Optimize Coro::Timer::timeout memory and CPU usage

    • Slightly updated Coro::Intro for recent changes

    • Do not initialise PL_dirty anymore

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta to 2.110440

    • The as_string() method now always returns a character string; previously, JSON strings were UTF-8 encoded

    • The save() method now always saves with UTF-8 encoding for Perl 5.8.1 or greater; previously, YAML was not encoded

    • Bump Parse::CPAN::Meta prereq to 1.44, as 1.43 was never released

      • Recommended use of scalar context due to historical API behaviour
  • Updated perl-Moose to 1.23
