=== Wednesday 16th November 2011 ===

==== Fedora Project ====

 * [[RedHatBugzilla:754476|Submitted a perl-Class-Load-XS package for review]]; this is wanted by `Moose` 2.0400

==== Local Packages ====

 * New package `perl-Class-Load-XS` (0.02)
 * Updated `curl` to 7.23.0:
  * Empty headers can be sent in HTTP requests by terminating with a semicolon
  * SSL session sharing support added to `curl_share_setopt()`
  * Added support to `MAIL FROM` for the optional `SIZE` parameter
  * `smtp`: added support for NTLM authentication
  * `curl` tool: code split into `tool_*.[ch]` files
  * Handle HTTP redirects to "`//hostname/path`"
  * SMTP without `--mail-from` caused segfault
  * Prevent extra progress meter headers between multiple files
  * Allow `Content-Length` to be replaced when sending HTTP requests
  * `curl` now always sets `postfieldsize` to allow `--data-binary` and `--data` to be mixed in the same command line
  * `curl_multi_fdset`: avoid `FD_SET` out of bounds
  * Lots of MinGW build tweaks
  * `Curl_gethostname`: return un-qualified machine name
  * Fixed the openssl version number configure check
  * `nss`: certificates from files are no longer looked up by file base names
  * Returning `abort` from the progress function when using the multi interface would not properly cancel the transfer and close the connection
  * Fix `libcurl.m4` to not fail with modern `gcc` versions
  * `ftp`: improved the failed `PORT` host name resolved error message
  * TFTP timeout and unexpected block adjustments
  * HTTP and GOPHER test server-side connection closing adjustments
  * Fix endless loop upon transport connection timeout
  * Don't clobber `errno` on failed connect
  * `typecheck`: allow `NULL` to unset `CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER`
  * `formdata`: `ack` read callback abort
  * `make --show-error` properly position independent
  * Set the ipv6-connection boolean correctly on connect
  * SMTP: fix end-of-body string escaping
  * `gtls`: only call `gnutls_transport_set_lowat` with `gnutls` < 2.12.0
  * HTTP: handle multiple auths in a single `WWW-Authenticate` line
  * `curl_multi_fdset`: correct `fdset` with `FTP PORT` use
  * `windbuild`: fix the static build
  * Fix builds with GnuTLS version 3
  * Fix calling of OpenSSL's `ERR_remove_state(0)`
  * HTTP auth: fix proxy `Negotiate` bug when `Negotiate` not requested
  * `ftp PORT`: don't hang if `bind()` fails
  * `-#` would crash on terminals wider than 256 columns
 * Updated `libxml2` to fix a heap-based buffer overflow caused by an off by one error in the encoding code ([[RedHatBugzilla:724906|Bug #724906]], [[CVE:2011-0216|CVE-2011-0216]])
 * Updated `perl-Moose` to 2.0400:
 . '''Deprecations:'''
  * The `optimize_as` option for type constraints has been deprecated; use the `inline_as` option to provide inlining code instead
 . '''API Changes:'''
  * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in `UNIVERSAL` (`isa`, `can`, etc.); this also means that you can wrap these methods with method modifiers ([[CPAN:69839|CPAN RT#69839]])
  * The `->parent` and `->parents` method for a union now return the nearest common ancestor of that union's component types; see `Moose::Manual::Delta` for more details
  * The `->parents` method used to return an `arrayref` for union types, and a list of one or more types for all other types; now they all return lists
  * The `->is_subtype_of` and `->is_a_type_of` methods have changed their behaviour for union types: previously, they returned `true` if any of their member types returned `true` for a given type, but now all of the member types must return `true` ([[CPAN:67731|CPAN RT#67731]])
 . '''Enhancements:'''
  * The `Moose::Exporter` module now has a "`meta_lookup`" option when creating an importer; this allows you to specify an alternate method for determining the metaclass of a caller, which is useful for modules like `MooseX::Role::Parameterized` that generate new metaclasses on the fly
  * Added a `Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub` method
  * The `enum` type will now allow single value enumerations; previously, two or more values were required
 . '''Bug Fixes:'''
  * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called `->is_subtype_of` or `->is_a_type_of` on it ([[CPAN:70322|CPAN RT#70322]])
  * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and this will no longer throw an error ([[CPAN:69988|CPAN RT#69988]])
  * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being recognized ([[CPAN:60583|CPAN RT#60583]])
  * `class_type` and `role_type` will now throw errors if you attempt to use them to override existing types, just like `type` and `subtype` have always done
  * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the '`isa`' or '`does`' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type, which means that it cannot later be redefined as something else
  * `$class_type->is_subtype_of` no longer returns `true` if passed the name of the class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered
  * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of the associated stash
  * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made immutable ([[CPAN:71514|CPAN RT#71514]])
  * Make `make_immutable` return value consistent and document it to be true
 . '''Other:'''
  * The `Class::MOP::load_class` and `Class::MOP::is_class_loaded` subroutines are no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the future; Moose now uses `Class::Load` to provide this functionality, and you should as well
 * Updated `php-Smarty` to 3.1.5:
  * Revert and fix PHP4 constructor message
  * `@silence`d `unlink()` in `Smarty_Internal_Write_File` since debuggers go haywire without it
  * Bugfix: `Smarty::clearCompiledTemplate()` threw an exception if `$cache_id` was not present in `$compile_dir` when `$use_sub_dirs = true`
  * Bugfix: `{html_select_date}` and `{html_select_time}` did not properly handle empty time arguments (Forum Topic 20190)
  * Improvement: removed unnecessary `sha1()`
  * Bugfix: apostrophe in `plugins_dir` path name failed (Forum topic 20199)
  * Improvement: `sha1()` for array keys longer than 150 characters
  * Add `Smarty::$allow_ambiguous_resources` to activate unique resource handling (Forum Topic 20128)
  * Bugfix: `smarty_mb_from_unicode()` would not decode unicode-points properly
  * Bugfix: use `catch Exception` instead of `UnexpectedValueException` in `clearCompiledTemplate`, to be PHP 5.2 compatible
  * Bugfix: `{if}` and `{while}` tags without condition did not throw a `SmartyCompilerException` (Issue #57)
  * Bugfix: multi-line strings in config files could fail on longer strings (reopened Issue #55)
  * Bugfix: different behaviour of `uniqid()` on cygwin (forum topic 20343, https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34908)
  * Bugfix: allow space between function name and open bracket (forum topic 20375)
