Tuesday 1st March 2016

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-DateTime to 1.24 in F-24 and Rawhide:

    • The last release partially broke $dt->time; if you passed a value to use as unit separator, it was ignored (CPAN RT#112585)

  • Updated perl-Tree-DAG_Node to 1.29 in F-24 and Rawhide:

    • No code changes

    • Rework Makefile.PL so File::Spec, File::Temp and Test::More are in TEST_REQUIRES (CPAN RT#112568)

    • Expand the SYNOPSIS

    • Update MANIFEST.SKIP to include .gitignore

    • Test::Pod is only a developer dependency

  • Updated perltidy to 20160302 in F-24 and Rawhide:

    • Corrected a minor problem in which an unwanted newline was placed before the closing brace of an anonymous sub with a signature, if it was in a list (CPAN RT#112534)

    • Corrected a minor problem in which occasional extra indentation was given to the closing brace of an anonymous sub in a list when the -lp parameter was set

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-DateTime to 1.24 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Moo to 2.001000:

  • Documentation:

    • Added documentation for has's ability to accept an arrayref of attribute names to create with the same options

    • Removed mention that we may not call BUILDARGS, since that behavior was removed in 2.000002

    • Reorganized documentation of class methods to separate those provided as a public API (new/does/meta) from those used by Moo in the object lifecycle (BUILDARGS/FOREIGNBUILDARGS/BUILD/DEMOLISH)

    • Updated documentation of most class methods for clarity

    • Updated BUILDARGS documentation to show an around rather than just overriding

    • Added examples to FOREIGNBUILDARGS and BUILD

    • Added explicit documentation for DOES and meta methods

  • Fixes:

    • Fixed grammar in error message when @ISA is changed unexpectedly before a constructor is fully generated

    • Fixed Moo classes and Sub::Quote subs in packages that are nearly 252 characters long

    • Fixed Sub::Defer::undefer_package emitting warnings

    • Fixed detection of constructors that have already been inlined
  • Performance:
    • The generated code in constructors and setters has had a number of microoptimizations applied

    • Deferred subs (and quoted subs like some accessors) in roles will be undeferred before copying them to classes; this prevents the need for a goto on every call, which would slow down the subs

    • Fixed Moose inflation code resulting in constructors with deferred wrappers

  • Other:

    • Recommend Sub::Name 0.08, which fixes a memory leak

    • The values given to BUILD subs will be the original values passed to new, rather than after coercions have been applied; this brings the behavior in line with Moose

  • Updated perl-Perl-Tidy to 20160302 as per the Fedora perltidy package

  • Updated perl-PPIx-Regexp to 0.048:

    • Add option 'strict', like 'use re "strict"'

    • In the presence of strict(), I opted to set perl_version_introduced to the version of Perl where the construct became an error

    • Parse '\N{}' as no-op

    • The previous parse was a character class ('\N') followed by two literals ('{' and '}'), but perl5238delta said that it had been ignored up to that time; starting with 5.23.8 it is an error if 'use re strict' is in effect

    • Quash 'NOT a POSIX class ...' warning under 5.23.8

  • Updated perl-Term-ReadLine-Gnu to 1.29:

    • Pop the stdio PerlIO layer only when utf8 layer is included for remote debugging (CPAN RT#110121)

    • Call utf8::decode() for a UTF8-enabled input filehandle (CPAN RT#104239)

    • Call newTTY() any time to set filehandles

    • Make use of 'our' instead of 'use vars'

    • Add tests for UTF-8 handling

    • Pass _rl_store_iostream 'FILE *' instead of 'PerlIO *'

    • Remove T_STDIO definition from typemap

    • Requires 5.8.1

  • Updated perl-Tree-DAG_Node to 1.29 as per the Fedora version
