Fedora Project

  • Updated bluefish to 2.2.0 in Rawhide:

    • New "select block" feature
    • Block stack is displayed on the status bar
    • Completely rewritten search and replace engine
    • Quickbar feature has been removed
    • Large changes internally for GTK3 compatibility
  • I had to add a patch to get it to build with GTK 2.22 (e.g. on Fedora 14), which I raised as Gnome Bug#664556

  • As this version is now a native GTK3 application and there are UI changes, I won't be backporting it to older releases
  • Updated milter-regex to 1.9 in Rawhide:

    • Add -j option to chroot

    • Improve building on various platforms
    • Fix some typos in documentation and example config

Local Packages

  • Updated bluefish to 2.2.0 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-AnyEvent to 6.11:

    • Tk cannot create windows when tainted unless you set a title, so set a dummy title for AnyEvent's dummy mainwindow

    • Escape any non-printable/non-ascii characters when stringifying backtraces
    • Log the reason loading an interface module fails to load at level debug

  • I dropped testing of the Tk backend as the module just didn't seem to want to load
