Local Packages

  • perl-DateTime to 0.78:

    • Reverted the change to round nanoseconds up or down in various situations. Now we always round down. This avoids the case where rounding up would require us to then increment the second value (which could then require us to increment the minute, which could then require us to increment the hour, which could then ...). In other words, we don't want to round 2011-12-31T23:59:59.999999 up to 2012-01-01T00:00:00, because that would be insane. This applies to the return values for ->microsecond, ->millisecond, and the %N specifier for strftime (CPAN RT#79845)

  • Updated perl-Devel-StackTrace to 1.29:

    • Allow arguments to a trace's as_string method, specifically max_arg_length

    • Added a no_args option to the constructor in 1.26 but forgot to mention it in Changes (CPAN RT#71482)

    • The Devel::StackTrace->frames() method is now read-write, which allows you to do more complex filtering of frames than is easily possible with the frame_filter argument to the constructor

  • Updated perl-Exception-Class to 1.36:

    • Fixed some stupidity in the tests that appears to have been highlighted by recent changes to Devel::StackTrace (CPAN RT#81245)
