Local Packages

  • New package perl-MIME-Base32 (1.02a)

  • Updated perl-Net-DNS to 1.01:

    • Feature: the RRs previously only available with Net::DNS::SEC are now integrated with Net::DNS; Net::DNS::SEC needs to be installed to enable the signature generation and verification functions

    • Fix CPAN RT#105491: Can't call method "zclass" on an undefined value...

    • Fix CPAN RT#105421: Dead link in Net::DNS::FAQ

    • Fix CPAN RT#104657: Wrong split on Cygwin

    • Fix CPAN RT#102810: Dynamic update: rr_add overrides ttl of zero

    • Fix CPAN RT#102809: CAA broken

  • Updated perl-Net-FTPSSL to 0.29:

    • Updated README file with info on how to turn on SSL tracing so that I can more easily find that information again

    • Fixed log display issue if there was no username and/or password passed to login()

    • In quot(), fixed pattern match bug when setting $cmd2 (\S* to \S+)

    • Added LICENSE tag to Makefile.PL

    • Added LICENSE file to my package

    • Rewrote Makefile.PL to support optional parameters

    • Added MIN_PERL_VERSION tag to Makefile.PL; enforced version 5.6.1, since that is the earliest perl my module was tested against by the smoke testers, though it was last tested that way with v0.11 (version 5.8.8 is the oldest version of Perl I test against regularly)

    • Added Net::SSLeay as a fake dependency to Makefile.PL and as a test case in t/00-basic.t for the benefit of some smoke testers who fail my module due to this indirect dependency not working

    • Fixed _print_LOG() to support multiple arguments, so we no longer have to concatenate everything before using it

    • Rewrote _debug_print_hash() to be able to handle hashes of any depth; it's now recursive with infinite loop detection

    • Added logic to support re-using the session instead of just the context, via the new option "ReuseSession=>1" (CPAN RT#76108, CPAN RT#105507)

  • Updated sendmail to 8.15.2 (see RELEASE_NOTES for details) (Bug #1239185)

  • Updated xv (3.10a) to includes patches by Erling A. Jacobsen to fix iTXt/utf8 PNG comment bug (#3141, #3704), and to fix smoothing off-by-one bug (#3142); note that the former patch is not applied by default in my xv build because it uses libpng10, which does not support iTXt anyway
