    • Convert documentation to Kwim

    • Add coveralls badge

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.992 in Rawhide:

    • Untested port to perl 5.19 (64 bit tmps indices)

    • croak when cancel is called without a thread context

    • Work around more incompatible changes in 5.20
  • This is only available for Perl 5.10 onwards as it fails to run on Perl 5.8

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta to 2.141520:

    • Clarified use of 'file' for the 'provides' field in the Spec

  • Updated perl-DateTime-TimeZone to 1.70:

    • Unset $ENV{TZ} in t/04local.t test to avoid interference from system (CPAN RT#96083)

    • This release is based on version 2014d of the IANA database, but there are no data changes from 2014c

    • Fixed reserved-word clash when compiling with C++ (CPAN RT#96090)

      • Use 'classname' instead of 'class'

    • Fix implementation of throw_exception in internal Class::MOP traits, caused by changes in 2.1207 (CPAN RT#96112)

    • The is_anon method now always returns false when called on Moose::Meta::Role::Composite objects; this isn't strictly right, but for the purposes of Moose internals, where "is_anon" really means "needs to be cleaned up", it's correct

  • Updated perl-TAP-Harness and perl-Test-Harness to 3.31:

    • Implement external rulesfile for TAP::Harness

    • Add harness_class argument to TAP::Harness::Env

    • Make prove respect environmental variables (GH #28)

Wednesday 11th June 2014

Thursday 12th June 2014

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-common-sense to 3.73 in Rawhide:

    • Move pod to separate file, to further improve loading times
    • Make it arch-specific, adding a test that warns when an old version is still installed
    • Due to a logic glitch, warnings were not enabled at all on 5.16

    • Remove "deprecated", as it turned out to be yet another time bomb as P5P don't care the least about backwards compatibility any more (https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=119123)

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Changes to 0.28 in Rawhide:

    • Add "SEE ALSO" links to similar modules (CPAN RT#94636)

    • Use perl 5.8-compatible regex

  • Updated perl-NetAddr-IP to 4.075 in Rawhide:

    • Incorrect error messages fixed, when $@ is clobbered when Carp wasn't loaded (GH#30, GH#31)

    • Now checking for, and erroring on, duplicate keys found in a hash (GH#32)

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-common-sense to 3.73:

    • Remove "deprecated", as it turned out to be yet another time bomb as P5P don't care the least about backwards compatibility any more (https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=119123)

    • Switching paths once more as this turned out to be a doc bug in EU::MM; this should not affect anything though

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Changes to 0.28 as per the Fedora version; this version no longer requires perl ≥ 5.10 and so can be built for all currently-supported releases

  • Updated perl-namespace-autoclean to 0.17:

    • Changed the code to no longer require Class::MOP; if your class is not a Moose class then we don't load Class::MOP, which was particularly problematic for Moo classes, as using namespace::autoclean with a Moo class "upgraded" it to be a Moose class

    • Using this module just broke overloading in a class (CPAN RT#50938)

    • Add -except to import options; this allows you to explicitly not clean a sub.

  • Updated perl-NetAddr-IP to 4.075 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-TAP-Harness and perl-Test-Harness to 3.32:

    • Remove harness_class from argument hash in TAP::Harness::Env

  • Updated perl-YAML-Tiny to 1.63 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated unrar to 5.10 (no longer a beta release)

  • Updated perl-YAML to 0.94 in Rawhide:

    • Switch to Zilla::Dist

    • Add badges to documentation

    • Fix regression introduced with earlier fix for complex regular subexpression recursion limit (GH#18)

    • Fix reference to non-existent sub Carp::Croak (GH#19)

    • Fix "Too late to run INIT block" warning for require Net::DNS (CPAN RT#96119)

    • Fix deep recursion problem on Cygwin (CPAN RT#96135)

    • Unlocalised $_ modified when reading config file (CPAN RT#96151)

    • ptardiff and ptargrep should use prefix if defined

    • Fix ptargrep for problems on MSWin32

  • Updated perl-File-ShareDir-ProjectDistDir to 1.000002:

    • Most tests refactored to have their dependent files inflated into existence during testing; this is to avoid issues with an HP-UX box that has a tar implementation that truncates filenames at 100 characters (GH#13)

  • Updated perl-namespace-autoclean to 0.18:

    • Better method detection for Mouse (GH#4)

  • Updated perl-Search-Elasticsearch to 1.13:

    • Breaking change: the Scroll helper used to pass the scroll ID to scroll() and clear_scroll() in the query string by default, with the scroll_in_body parameter to change the behaviour; this was causing frequent errors with long scroll IDs, so the new default behaviour is to pass the scroll ID in the body, with the scroll_in_qs parameter to change that behaviour

    • All Search::Elasticsearch HTTP backends are now fork-safe

    • Added track_scores param to search()

    • Added create param to indices.put_template()

    • Removed index_templates param from cluster.state()

    • Removed indices_boost param from search()

    • Added percolate_format param to percolate()

    • Added cat.fielddata()

  • Updated perl-Test-CleanNamespaces to 0.11:

    • Now also properly handle classes using Class::MOP directly

    • Fix test diagnostics in the success case

    • Fix use of a new Scalar::Util export in tests

    • The return value of namespaces_clean() and all_namespaces_clean() is now consistent with the result of the test(s)

    • Fixed tests to expose an issue with Mouse classes, and documented this (now) known issue

  • Cleaned up and rebuilt perl-Test-Tester

Monday 23rd June 2014

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-CPAN-Meta-Check to 0.009 in Rawhide:

    • Various POD fixes

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 1.994 in Rawhide:

    • IO::Socket::SSL can now be used as dual-use socket, e.g. start plain, upgrade to SSL and downgrade again all with the same object; see documentation of SSL_startHandshake and chapter Advanced Usage

    • Try to apply SSL_ca* even if verify_mode is 0, but don't complain if this fails; this is needed if one wants to explicitly verify OCSP lookups even if verification is otherwise off, because otherwise the signature check would fail (this is mostly useful for testing)

    • Added a portable mutex API

    • The AM_PATH_GPG_ERROR macro now defines GPG_ERROR_MT_CFLAGS and GPG_ERROR_MT_LIBS autoconf output variables for use by programs that need gpgrt-based thread support; gpg-error-config has a new option --mt
