=== Wednesday 5th October 2011 ===

==== Fedora Project ====

 * Updated `perl-Class-Load` to 0.11 in F-16 and Rawhide:
  * Don't accept package names that start with a digit
  * Rewrite some of the guts to use `Module::Runtime` rather than reimplementing its functionality
 . As this version now requires `Module::Runtime` ≥ 0.009, which is only available in F-16 onwards, I dropped support in the spec file for all older releases, which significantly simplifies things

==== Local Packages ====

 * New package `perl-Params-Classify` (0.013)
 * New package `perl-Module-Runtime` (0.009)
 * Updated `perl-AnyEvent` to 6.1:
  * '''Incompatible change:''' the default log level is now "4" (error and above), and some messages inside `AnyEvent` have been elevated to higher log levels to print by default
  * `AnyEvent::log`, unlike `AnyEvent::Log::log`, did not always exit on fatal
  * Work around yet another signal race bug, newly introduced by `POE`
  * Add google public ipv6 dns as fall-back servers, so `AE::DNS` can finally support ipv6-only operation even with defaults (also use `::1` instead of `127.0.0.1`)
  * Give better guidelines on how to choose a logging level
  * `AnyEvent::Log` can now cap (limit) log message priority by context
  * `AE::log` will now save and restore `$!` and `$@`, so callers don't have to
  * `AE::Strict` now checks that registered fds are still valid at regular intervals
  * Skip frequently called '`require`' calls if the module appears loaded
  * Increase signal latency test timer considerably for poor little OSX, which can't be bothered with basic POSIX functionality such as signal delivery
  * Mention some debugging aides in the tutorial
  * New environment variable `PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY`
  * Private (`%namespace`) log contexts in `PERL_ANYEVENT_LOG` now have the name of the context as title
  * `AnyEvent::Strict` would not restore read-write access to `$_` when a callback died - this is a user bug, but since `AE::Strict` exists to help debugging...
  * Detect the extremely evil `IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent` module and refuse to work with it - the author is well aware of the issues but refuses to fix them; this extreme step has been taken because the module actively attacks the goals of `AnyEvent` and makes it harder for module authors to use `AnyEvent`
 * Updated `perl-Class-Load` to 0.11:
  * Don't accept package names that start with a digit
  * Rewrite some of the guts to use `Module::Runtime` rather than reimplementing its functionality
 . I dropped the patches to support building without `Test::Fatal` or `Pod::Coverage::Moose` since these are only needed with `perl` < 5.8.1 and we need at least 5.8.1 for the required module `Package::Stash`
 * Updated `perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS` to 3.05:
  * The `XSUB.h` changes to make `XS(name)` use `XS_INTERNAL(name)` by default (which were in the 5.15.2 dev release of `perl`) have been reverted since too many CPAN modules expect to be able to refer to `XSUB`s declared with `XS(name)`; instead, `ExtUtils::ParseXS` will define a copy of the `XS_INTERNAL`/`XS_EXTERNAL` macros as necessary going back to `perl` 5.10.0.
  * By default, `ExtUtils::ParseXS` will use `XS_INTERNAL(name)` instead of `XS(name)`
  * Don't put null characters into the generated source file when `-except` is used; write the '`\0`' escape sequence properly instead
  * By `#define`ing `PERL_EUPXS_ALWAYS_EXPORT` or `PERL_EUPXS_NEVER_EXPORT` early in your `XS` code, you can force `ExtUtils::ParseXS` to always or never export `XSUB` symbols; this has no effect on `boot_*` symbols since those must be exported
  * Simplify generated `XS` code by emitting a compatibility version of `dVAR`
  * Fixed "`INCLUDE: $cmd |`" ([[CPAN:70213|CPAN RT#70213]])
 * Updated `perl-Module-Load` to 0.22:
  * Resolve possible security problem (http://blogs.perl.org/users/michael_g_schwern/2011/10/how-not-to-load-a-module-or-bad-interfaces-make-good-people-do-bad-things.html) where a '`::`' prefixed module can 'jump' out of `@INC`
