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
Updated perl-Test-Fatal to 0.014 in Rawhide:
Avoid assuming that t/todo.t is always called t/todo.t
