Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Test-Simple to 1.001002 in F-20 and Rawhide:

    • Restore ability to use regex with test_err and test_out (CPAN RT#89655)

Local Packages

  • Updated check to 0.9.11:

    • Check's unit tests pass when compiled out of the source tree

    • Check compiles for Windows using the MinGW/msys environment (without using fork), and all unit tests pass

    • Check compiles for Windows using the Cygwin environment, and all unit tests pass

    • Check compiles for Windows using MinGW in Linux (without using fork), and all unit tests pass using wine 1.4

    • Check compiles for Windows using MinGW-w64 in Linux (without using fork), and all unit tests pass using wine 1.4

    • On systems without timer_settimer, use setitimer (if available) to get sub-second unit test timeouts; if setitimer is unavailable, fall back on alarm

  • Updated dovecot to 2.2.7:

    • Some usage of passdb checkpassword could have been exploitable by local users; you may need to modify your setup to keep it working (see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/CheckPassword#Security)

    • auth: added ability to truncate values logged by auth_verbose_passwords (see 10-logging.conf comment)

    • mdbox: added "mdbox_deleted" storage, which can be used to access messages with refcount=0

    • ssl-params: added ssl_dh_parameters_length setting

    • master process was doing a hostname.domain lookup for each created process, which may have caused a lot of unnecessary DNS lookups

    • dsync: syncing over 100 messages at once caused problems in some situations, causing messages to get new UIDs

    • fts-solr: different Solr hosts for different users didn't work

  • Updated perl-Coro to 6.32:

    • Use a new algorithm to derive padlists for perl 5.18; the old one could lead to 0-pointer accesses inside perl

  • Updated perl-Mixin-Linewise to 0.102:

  • This might break your code

    • Add binmode option to set binmode on opened filehandles; this defaults to encoding(UTF-8)

    • Typo fix by the inimitable David Steinbrunner

  • Updated perl-Module-Build to 0.4008:

    • Fix test failing on ancient perls ≤ 5.8.1

    • Do not set default switches in Test::Harness; not even -w

    • Fix a couple more broken links to CPAN::META::Spec that should have been CPAN::Meta::Spec

  • Updated perl-Spellunker to 0.4.0:

    • Added clear_stopwords method
