Fedora Project

  • Updated gtkwave to 3.3.53 in Rawhide:

    • Made LZ4 the default compression routine selected for vcd2fst

    • Fixes to EVCD parsing in vcd2fst and evcd2vcd

    • Automatically invoke --optimize if VPD or WLF is detected; invoke on FSDB if FsdbReader is missing

    • Standardized export feature to write vcd using lower case for non 0/1 values

    • Added perror() on errno-related exits in vcd loaders

    • Added experimental wlf2vcd in contrib; it is not currently compiled or used

    • Corrected non-functional typos in documentation

  • Updated perl-AnyEvent to 7.07 in Rawhide:

    • The documentation for custom tls verify schemes was wrong; make it agree with the code

    • Added CBOR read and write types to AnyEvent::Handle (using CBOR::XS)

    • Work around an API change in openssl that could cause wrong TLS connection aborts, likely on Windows only

    • Calling AnyEvent->now_update with AnyEvent::Impl::Perl caused an endless loop

    • Add tlsv1_1 and tlsv1_2 protocols to AnyEvent::TLS

    • Document AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::set_loop and $AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync::LOOP; though only documented now, this functionality has always been available

    • Force a toplevel domain name in t/81_hosts.t

    • Document that AnyEvent::Log uses AnyEvent::IO

    • Warn about AnyEvent::Filesys::Notify performance

    • Praise the joys of AnyEvent::Fork::*

    • Time for an =encoding directive

    • No longer use JSON to create a default json coder; use JSON::XS or JSON::PP directly
