Local Packages

• Updated curl (4.47.1) to enable support for Public Suffix List where possible (Bug #1305701)

• Updated dovecot (2.2.21) to update pigeonhole to 0.4.12:

  • Implemented the Sieve extracttext extension (RFC 5703; Section 7); it is now possible to extract body text from a message into a variable

  • Increased ABI version due to changes in the Sieve interpreter's object definitions

  • multiscript: Fixed bug in handling of (implicit) keep; final keep action was always executed as though there was a failure, which caused the keep action to revert back to the initial message, in turn causing editheader actions to be ignored

  • managesieve-login: Fixed proxy to allow SASL mechanisms other than PLAIN; previously, the proxy would fail if the server did not support the PLAIN mechanism

  • ldap storage: Prevent segfault occurring when assigning certain (global) configuration options

  • Not to run tests for table_column_metadata unless ENABLE_COLUMN_METADATA is set

  • Fixed an sqlite version number in a test (GH#14)

  • Because of the addition of LIKE/GLOB/REGEXP support on virtual tables, previous ::PerlData virtual table got broken; this is hopefully fixed by adding strlike/strglob functions to DBD::SQLite but if you use this virtual table, please test it carefully

  • Now you can make a database connection read-only if you turn on the ReadOnly attribute when you connect (CPAN RT#110439); if you set it after you connect to a database, DBD::SQLite warns because the database doesn't actually become read-only

  • Improved ::Constants

    • To load DBD::SQLite by itself

    • To expose SQLITE_VERSION_NUMBER

    • Introduced a few new (shorter) tags

  • Resolved CPAN RT#111558: Virtual table tests depend on enhanced query syntax availability

  • Ignore FTS tests if FTS is not available

• Rebuilt perl-MIME-Types (2.12) for the Fedora_24_Mass_Rebuild

• Rebuilt perl-Moose (2.1604) for the Fedora_24_Mass_Rebuild

  • Fixed a bug when a callback failed but did not die; the resulting error message had a pointless colon in it (CPAN RT#111036)

  • Made the pure Perl version use Carp's croak rather than confess - the XS version has never included a stack trace in errors; you can use the on_fail setting to get a stack trace if you prefer (CPAN RT#111036)

  • The pure Perl code now uses "(unknown)" when it cannot determine the sub that failed, instead of "N/A" (CPAN RT#111036)

  • Documented the PARAMS_VALIDATE_IMPLEMENTATION environment variable (CPAN RT#111035)

• Updated perl-Capture-Tiny to 0.34:

  • Application of layers to handles during and after capture now attempts to more accurately duplicate the original layers, including potential duplicate layers; because of the unusual ways that layers are ordered and applied, exact duplication is not guaranteed, but this should be better than what Capture::Tiny did before

Fedora Project

  • Handle magic v-strings

Friday 26th February 2016

Saturday 27th February 2016

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-Cpanel-JSON-XS to 3.0212 in F-24 and Rawhide:

  • Merge with JSON-XS-3.02:

    • docs: add some INTEROP, stricter nonref RFC 7159 and TAGGED VALUE SYNTAX AND STANDARD JSON EN/DECODERS paragraphs

    • Use 7159 nonref detection from JSON-XS: json_nonref()

    • Add some SAVESTACK_POS calls

    • Add -f cbor decode option (via CBOR::XS) to cpanel_json_xs

  • Fixed many spelling errors in the new docs
  • Fixed errors with threaded perls

  • Improved code quality in new merged code and fixed new warnings found with gcc-5

  • Add -f and -t yaml-xs and yaml-syck options to cpanel_json_xs

• I softened the optional script dependencies for cpanel_json_xs to Suggests: rather than Requires: for distributions that have rpm ≥ 4.12 and hence support weak dependencies

Local Packages

• Updated perl-Cpanel-JSON-XS to 3.0212 as per the Fedora version

• Updated perl-JSON-XS to 3.02:

  • allow_nonref now affects booleans (\1, $Types::Serialiser::Boolean) as well

  • Support (and fix) calling encode and decode in list context

  • Work around a bug in older perls crashing when presented with shared hash keys

• Updated perl-Text-Diff to 1.44:

  • Fixed the handling of text without a trailing newline: this module now adds the same text that the diff tool does, "\n\\ No newline at end of file\n"; previously this module simply produced broken diffs when one or both files had no trailing newline (GH#1)

• Updated perl-XML-LibXML to 2.0124:

  • Fix XML::LibXML::Text->attributes() to return an empty list in list context (CPAN RT#112470)

Monday 29th February 2016

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-DateTime to 1.23 in F-24 and Rawhide:

  • Fixed several issues with the handling of non-integer values passed to from_epoch() (GH#11)

    • This method was simply broken for negative values, which would end up being incremented by a full second, so for example -0.5 became 0.5
    • The method did not accept all valid float values; specifically, it did not accept values in scientific notation
    • Finally, this method now rounds all non-integer values to the nearest millisecond, which matches the precision we can expect from Perl itself (53 bits) in most cases

  • Make all DateTime::Infinite objects return the system's representation of positive or negative infinity for any method that returns a number or string representation (year(), month(), ymd(), iso8601(), etc.); previously some of these methods could return "Nan", "-Inf--Inf--Inf", and other confusing outputs (CPAN RT#110341)

• Cleaned up and rebuilt perl-File-Find-Object (0.2.13) in Rawhide

• Cleaned up and rebuilt perl-File-Find-Object-Rule (0.0305) in Rawhide
