Rode my bike to work for the first time today!
Fedora Project
Updated perl-DateTime to 1.39 in F-25 and Rawhide:
Replaced Params::Validate with Params::ValidationCompiler and Specio
In benchmarks, this makes constructing a new DateTime object about 14% faster
- However, it slows down module load time by about 100 milliseconds (1/10 of a second) on upstream's desktop system with a primed cache (so really measuring compile time, not disk load time)
When you pass a locale to $dt->set you will now get a warning suggesting you should use $dt->set_locale instead (CPAN RT#115420)
- Bump minimum required Perl to 5.8.4 from 5.8.1
