=== Sunday 8th November 2015 ===

==== Fedora Project ====

 * Updated `perl-DateTime-Format-Strptime` to 1.60 in Rawhide:
 . Backwards Incompatibilities
  * The error messages for various types of failures have changed
  * The never-documented diagnostic parameter for the constructor has been removed
  * The never-documented feature to allow you to use arbitrary `DateTime.pm` methods in the parsing pattern has been removed; this never made much sense anyway, since most `DateTime.pm` methods are not constructor params, but they were used that way
  * Using the `pattern`, `locale`, and `time_zone` to set the respective attribute is now deprecated; make a new object instead of changing one of these values
 . Bug Fixes
  * Fixed a warning from the tests with newer Perl versions ([[CPAN:107620|CPAN RT#107620]])
  * Clarified docs to note that `%Y` and `%G` require 4-digit years ([[CPAN:103147|CPAN RT#103147]])
  * Using the 24-hour token (`%H`) with an AM/PM specifier (`%p`) now leads to an error if you try to parse something like "23:01 AM" ([[CPAN:92445|CPAN RT#92445]])
 * Updated `perl-Moose` to 2.1604 in Rawhide:
  * Minimum perl requirement is now set in `configure-requires`, as well as `runtime-requires`, to ensure that smokers bail out early enough to declare the installation `N/A` rather than `FAIL`

==== Local Packages ====

 * Updated `perl-DateTime-Format-Strptime` to 1.60 as per the Fedora version
 * Updated `perl-DateTime-Locale` to 1.01:
 . Enhancements
  * This release uses the locale data from CLDR version 28; the last major update of the locale data used CLDR 1.7.1, released in 2009, so this is a big change - many things have changed in terms of locale data
  * Some locales are no longer available because they are not in the CLDR data
  * The CLDR data no longer includes default date and time format lengths; this is now "medium" for every locale, simply to provide some level of backwards compatibility
  * Loading `DateTime::Locale` itself is now quite a bit faster; the whole locale registration system has been removed entirely, except for custom locales ([[CPAN:78794|CPAN RT#78794]])
  * A long-standing issue with the Austrian locale not using the Austrian name for January has been fixed ([[CPAN:52337|CPAN RT#52337]])
 . Backwards Incompatibilities
  * This is a big new release, and includes a number of backwards-incompatible changes, though most users should be unaffected by this change; if you only use this module via `DateTime.pm`, you are unlikely to notice any changes other than changes to the locale data
  * The old API deprecated since 0.40 has been removed (almost) entirely
  * We now refer to things as "code" in the docs and method names where we used to call them "ids"; this includes locale, language, script, territory, and variant codes - this is more in line with the various ISO standards and the CLDR packages
  * All the `$locale->*_id` methods (including `$locale->id`) are deprecated; use the relevant `$locale->*_code` method instead
  * The canonical form of the locale codes now uses dashes (`-`) instead of underscores (`_`); loading a locale with an underscore in the name (e.g. `en_US`) still works
  * The way that locale data is packaged has changed quite a bit; we no longer package each locale in its own class: instead, all locale data is in a single module (mostly in a `__DATA__` section) and loaded into memory as needed, so if you have any code that checks `$locale->isa`, that code may break
  * Locales are no longer subclasses of `DateTime::Locale::Base`; this module is still included in the distribution in case someone has a custom locale that inherits from this module, but this module will go away in a future release
  * The "`ii-*`" aliases for the "`he-*`" locales have been removed
  * The "`no-*`" aliases for the "`nn-*`" locales have been removed
  * The value of `$locale->code `no longer reflects the value passed to `DateTime::Locale->load`; this only affects aliases and non-canonical forms of the code, e.g. if you load "`en_US`" then `$locale->code` will return "`en-US`" and if you load "`C`" or "`POSIX`" the returned code will be "`en-US-POSIX`"
  * All of the documentation related to creating aliases and registering custom locales has been removed; all of these methods still work, but I don't think this system got much use, so I don't want to emphasize it in the docs (but let me know if you are using this and want to see these docs restored)
 * Updated `perl-Moose` to 2.1604 as per the Fedora version
 * Updated `perl-Net-DNS` to 1.03:
  * Fix [[CPAN:107897|CPAN RT#107897]]: `t/10-recurse.t` freezes, never completes
  * Fix [[CPAN:101978|CPAN RT#101978]]: Update `Net::DNS `to use `IO::Socket::IP`
  * Fix [[CPAN:84375|CPAN RT#84375]]: Timeout doesn't work with `bgsend`/`bgread`
  * Fix [[CPAN:47050|CPAN RT#47050]]: Persistent sockets for `Resolver::bg(send|read|isready)`
  * Fix [[CPAN:15515|CPAN RT#15515]]: `bgsend` on TCP
