Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-AnyEvent to 7.08 in Rawhide:

    • Work around a newly introduced bug in Socket 2.011 (an erroneous sun_length check)

    • AnyEvent::TLS didn't load (but refer to) AnyEvent::Socket

    • AnyEvent::Strict will now confess, not croak, in line with it being a development/debugging tool

    • Work around a number of libglib bugs (debug builds of libglib enforce certain undocumented behaviour patterns such as not being able to remove a child watch source after it has fired, which we will try to emulate to avoid "criticals"; what were they thinking?)

    • Mention json security issues in AnyEvent::Handle

    • Changed default DNS resolver "max_outstanding" value from 1 to 10, the latter being the intended value all along

    • Added new "AnyEvent::Impl::UV" interface module to the UV event lib

    • Avoid assuming that t/todo.t is always called t/todo.t

    • Fixed regression of 0 as integer
