Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Test-File to 1.36 in Rawhide:

    • Fix bad line counts on latest dev version of Perl (CPAN RT#89849)

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Test-File to 1.36 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated python-passlib to 1.6.2 (minor changes and compatibility fixes):

    • Re-tuned the ~passlib.ifc.PasswordHash.default_rounds values for all of the hashes

    • Added the new bcrypt_sha256 hash, which wraps BCrypt using SHA256 in order to work around BCrypt's password size limitations (Issue 43)

    • passlib.hash.bcrypt: added support for the bcrypt library as one of the possible bcrypt backends that will be used if available (Issue 49)

    • passlib.ext.django: passlib's Django extension (and its related hashes and unit tests) have been updated to handle some minor API changes in Django 1.5-1.6; they should now be compatible with Django 1.2 and up (Issue 50)
