=== Friday 26th August 2011 ===

==== Fedora Project ====

 * Built `perl-Pod-Wordlist-hanekomu` for EPEL-4, EPEL-5 and EPEL-6 now that `perl-Test-DistManifest` is available there
 * Built `perl-Test-CPAN-Meta-JSON` for EPEL-4 now that `perl-JSON` is available there
 * Built `perl-Test-Mojibake` for EPEL-4, EPEL-5 and EPEL-6 now that `perl-Test-DistManifest` is available there

==== PPTP Client Project ====

 * Updated `pptp-release` to fix the dist tag for builds with CentOS 6 and Scientific Linux
 * Updated `pptpconfig` not to use macros for commands
 * Created Fedora 16 repositories

==== Local Packages ====

 * Updated `perl-AnyEvent` to 6.01:
  * '''Incompatible Change:''' verbosity levels have been redefined; see `AnyEvent` (`PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE`) and `AnyEvent::Log` for details
  * New function: `AnyEvent::log`
  * New module: `AnyEvent::Log`, for simple logging needs
  * New env variable, `PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG`, for fine-grained logging configuration
  * New env variable, `PERL_ANYEVENT_HOSTS`, to override the place where the `/etc/hosts` file can be found
  * An empty `PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF` now selects the default configuration
  * Environment variables can now be specified using `AE_xyz` instead of `PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz`, subject to some rules
  * Lots of new `AnyEvent::Debug` functionality
  * `AnyEvent::Strict` now checks for modifications of `$_` by the callback (by setting it to `readonly` while executing the callback, if possible)
  * `AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr` and all functions using it now support `/etc/hosts` overrides
  * Do not run event loop detection multiple times when programs call their cached copies of `AnyEvent::detect`
  * `parse_hostport` now accepts absolute paths as unix domain sockets
  * Suppress the idiotic warning inside `POE` by patching the `POE::Kernel` run flags instead of asking the user to jump through contortions
  * Add `Task::Weaken` as dependency (as recommends only at this time)
  * Replace `PF_UNSPEC` by 0, for good old Minix
 . This major update also had a bunch of packaging changes:
  * Drop now-redundant patch removing `FLTK2` references
  * Package manpages for `AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2` and `AnyEvent::Log`
  * Add build and runtime dependencies for `perl(Task::Weaken)`
  * Make the build dependency on `perl(Net::SSLeay)` unconditional as although the SSL test still emits a "`Too late to run CHECK block`" warning prior to `perl` 5.10, the test still passes
  * Add build dependencies on `perl(Event::Lib)`, `perl(Glib)` ≥ 1.210, `perl(POE)` and `perl(Tk)` where possible (i.e. pull in from Fedora/EPEL) for the event loop tests
  * Add a build dependency on `perl(Time::HiRes)`
  * Filter the bogus provide of `perl(DB)`
 . These changes were on top of the unpublished changes of 6.0 on August 14th, which for the record were:
  * '''Incompatible Change:''' `AnyEvent::DNS` resource records now include the TTL as fourth element - this affects `->resolve` directly, and `->request` and `->dns_unpack` indirectly; convenience functions such as `AnyEvent::DNS::{a,txt,mx,srv}` are not affected, and neither is `AnyEvent::Socket`
  * '''Incompatible Change:''' backend authors now should not implement `one_event` or `loop`, but instead the `AnyEvent::CondVar::_wait` and `_poll` methods
  * '''Deprecation:''' please change "`use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl`" to "`use AnyEvent::Loop`" and "`AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop`" to "`AnyEvent::Loop::run`" in your programs, for future compatibility
  * Idle watcher emulation was borked
  * `AnyEvent::Strict` now checks the `AE::xxx` functions as well
  * Querying too-long domain names would barf deep inside `AnyEvent::DNS`; since this is hard to avoid for applications, `AnyEvent:.DNS::request` now checks for too-long domain names explicitly and passes an `undef` to the callback instead
  * Make `AnyEvent::Util` more robust against `EINTR`
  * New function: `AnyEvent::postpone`
  * New env variable, `PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_SHELL`, to automatically start a debug shell
  * New env variable, `PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP`, to automatically enable watcher instrumentation/wrapping (see `AnyEvent::Debug::wrap`)
  * `IO::Async` sometimes cancels the wrong timer when you call `cancel_timer`; invest extra overhead to work around this peculiar behaviour
  * Split the pure `perl` backend into a `loop` module and an `impl` module (`AnyEvent::Loop` and `AnyEvent::Impl::Perl`)
  * Some `read` types (`regex`, `netstring`, `json`, `storable`) could erroneously keep an `AE::Handle` object alive on their own
  * Add more workarounds around child watcher bugs in `IO::Async` and (newly-introduced) in `POE`
  * Use `glib` child watchers and try to work around its limitations, if possible
  * Add support for `FLTK` (`fltk2`) via `AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2`
  * Many read types in `AnyEvent::Handle` would malfunction during transitions to TLS because of a "`delete $self->{rbuf}`"
  * Improve `condvar` blocking wait performance (probably only noticeable with faster backends) and also make it easier for event loops that do not support blocking waits
  * `PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL` now also allows full module names, although the usefulness of this feature is not yet clear
  * Add tests for all supported event loops, conditional on `PERL_ANYEVENT_LOOP_TESTS`
  * Add `t/80_ssltext.t`
  * No longer use `AUTOLOAD` for the initial loading (for no very good reason)
  * `tcp_server` now tries to unlink unix domain sockets when it gets destroyed
 . Packaging changes for 6.0:
  * Patch `AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2` out of `Makefile.PL` as upstream forgot to ship it
  * Package new manpage for `AnyEvent::Loop`
  * Add new build dependencies for tests: `perl(EV)`, `perl(Event)`, `perl(Net::SSLeay)`
 * I then updated `perl-AnyEvent` again, this time to 6.02:
  * `log_to_syslog` now accepts facility strings
  * `log_to_syslog` would not allow facilities - "`$facility|$level`" ''literally'' means that string
  * The CPAN parser got confused and thought we provide `Sys::Syslog`; try to work around it
  * Rename `AnyEvent::Impl::FLTK2` to `FLTK`
 * Updated `perl-Moose` to 2.0204:
  * Validating `duck_type` type constraint turned out to work only by accident, and only when not running under the debugger; this has been fixed
  * Loosen the dependency on `ExtUtils::ParseXS`
 * Updated `proftpd` to fix the dist tag for builds with CentOS 6 and Scientific Linux
