Fedora Project

  • Updated bluefish to 2.2.2-rc1 in Rawhide:

  • Bluefish 2.2.2 is largely a bug fix release with some very minor new features:
    • A regression in the search functionality was fixed, which caused a segfault if a document with search results was closed
    • Multiple replace with search results directly next to each other corrupting the text was also fixed
    • The broken cursor positioning that ruined the Zencoding plugin was also fixed
    • On the multiplatform front:
      • On Windows, handling of the profile directory with non-ascii characters was fixed
      • On MacOSX, image browsing in the image dialog was fixed
    • Two GTK-3 related bugs were fixed:
      • The CSS dialog was unusable on GTK-3
      • The right margin indicator was positioned wrong
    • Several small memory leaks were fixed
    • Startup is slightly faster, using more threads during startup and improving the document recovery
    • The annoying scrolling of the side bar filebrowser in 'treeview' mode was fixed
    • Descriptions of language options were fixed
    • Some menu strings and HTML5 options were improved
    • Accelerators and shortcut keys were improved
    • Translations got better
    • New features:
      • Duplicate line
      • Delete line
  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.58 in F-17 and Rawhide

    • Fix t/dhe.t for openssl 1.0.1 beta by forcing TLSv1, so that it does not complain about the too small RSA key, which it should not use anyway; this workaround is not applied for older openssl versions, where it would cause failures (CPAN RT#75165)

  • I had to tweak the workaround in this update to lower the version threshold where TLSv1 is forced, since Fedora's openssl package has a patch applied that makes it look like it's openssl 1.0.0 beta 3 rather than openssl 1.0.1 beta 2, which is what it really is

Local Packages

  • Updated bluefish to 2.2.2-rc1 as per the Fedora version; the new release requires glib2 ≥ 2.18 due to the use of the g_file_query_file_type() function (Gnome Bug #670883), so there's no Fedora 9 build

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.58 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-XML-LibXML to 1.93:
