    • Detect INF/NAN: ?/++/-?/--- on HP-UX (GH#56)

    • New stringify_infnan(3) infnan_mode; easy to detect platform-independent "inf", "-inf" or "nan" strings with double quotes, with qnan, snan or negative nan unified to "nan"

    • Use faster strEQc macros from cperl with constant strings

  • Updated perl-Text-Template (1.46), perl-Tie-IxHash (1.23) and perl-Unicode-MapUTF8 (1.11) to build-require perl-generators for proper dependency generation

Friday 14th October 2016

Fedora Project

Saturday 15th October 2016

Fedora Project

    • GTK 3.20 compatibility
    • A few other minor bug fixes

Sunday 16th October 2016

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Specio to 0.30 in F-24, F-25 and Rawhide:

    • Fix a bug with the Sub::Quoted sub returned by $type->coercion_sub; if a type had more than one coercion, the generated sub could end up coercing the value to undef some of the time and, depending on hash key ordering, this could end up being a heisenbug that only occurred some of the time

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Specio to 0.30 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-UNIVERSAL-require (0.18), perl-Unix-Syslog (1.1), perl-Version-Requirements (0.101023) and perl-WeakRef (0.01) to build-require perl-generators for proper dependency generation

Monday 17th October 2016

Fedora Project

  • Updated gtkwave to 3.3.77 in Rawhide:

    • Updated documentation to include an appendix on FST implementation details

    • Removed '!A || (A && B)' is equivalent to '!A || B' redundant condition checks where found in source

    • Added hier_ignore_escapes rc variable

    • Dynamic resizing tweaks for when it is turned off

    • Added HUWL-? value types to signal_change_list() to keep GHW files from crashing Tcl scripts

  • I held off updating the F-25 version because the new release reported its version number as 3.3.76 (reported upstream)

  • Updated perl-AnyEvent (7.13) in F-25 and Rawhide to add some optional dependencies (Bug #1385642) and to work around SSL issues in Rawhide (possibly due to the ongoing upgrade to OpenSSL 1.1.0)

  • Updated perl-Test-Vars to 0.011 in F-25 and Rawhide:

Local Packages

  • Updated gtkwave to 3.3.77 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-AnyEvent (7.13) as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Archive-Tarto 2.12:

    • Fix pod in bin/ptar

    • Distinguish between archives with/without directory entries

  • Updated perl-Test-Vars to 0.011 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-XML-DTDParser (2.01), perl-XML-NamespaceSupport (1.11), perl-XML-SAX (0.99), perl-XML-SAX-Base (1.08), perl-XML-SAX-Expat (0.51) and perl-XML-Simple (2.22) to build-require perl-generators for proper dependency generation

  • Updated perl-XML-Rules (1.16) and perl-YAML-Syck (1.29) to fix FTBFS when perl is not in the minimal buildroot, and to build-require perl-generators` for proper dependency generation

Tuesday 18th October 2016

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Module-Extract-VERSION to 1.111 in F-25 and Rawhide:

    • Use a safe compartment
    • Require Perl 5.10 so named captures can be used

    • Support v5.12 and v5.14 PACKAGE NAMESPACE VERSION BLOCK

  • Updated perl-Test2-Plugin-NoWarnings to 0.03 in F-25 and Rawhide:

    • Add the $SIG{__WARN__} hook in an INIT block; we really don't want to trigger this because of a compile-time warning, and because of a bug in Test::Builder, this can actually cause the warning to be lost entirely (https://github.com/Test-More/test-more/issues/729)

    • The Test2::Event::Warning event now returns true for increments_count, which means that the test failure caused by a warning will not be output as a TAP test line; previously this was just seen as a diag line, which could be quite confusing (https://github.com/Test-More/test-more/issues/728)

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Module-Extract-VERSION to 1.111 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Test2-Plugin-NoWarnings to 0.03 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated python-passlib (1.6.5) to generate python2 and python3 packages

Thursday 20th October 2016

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-MetaCPAN-Client to 1.027000 in Rawhide:

    • Convert values of JSON::PP::Boolean objects in output so they are not skipped when expecting scalars (GH#49)

    • Moved distini prereqs to cpanfile

    • Limit Search::Elasticsearch version to 2.02

    • Updated docs

  • Updated perl-Test-Simple to 1.302062 in F-25 and Rawhide:

    • Formatters now have terminate() and finalize() methods; these are called when there is a skip_all or bail event (terminate), or when a test suite is exiting normally (finalize), which allows formatters to finalize their output - this is important for any sort of document-oriented format (as opposed to a stream format like TAP) (#723)

    • Removed a warning when using a non-TAP formatter with Test::Builder about the formatter not supporting "no_header" and "no_diag"; this happened even if the alternative formatter class implemented these attributes

Local Packages

  • Updated libssh2 (1.7.0) to make the curl test suite work again with valgrind enabled

  • Updated perl-Archive-Tar to 2.14:

    • Fix roundtrip test when tar executable is absent

  • Updated perl-Importer to 0.024:

    • Add import() method and tag

    • Saner argument parsing
    • Spelling fixes

  • Updated perl-MetaCPAN-Client to 1.027000 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Search-Elasticsearch to 5.01 but didn't publish the packages because it broke MetaCPAN::Client, which is important to me

    • This version adds Elasticsearch 5.x compatibility and makes it the default; it also adds deprecation logging that logs to STDERR by default

    • The Hijk backend will not work with Elasticsearch 5.x until CPAN RT#118425 is fixed

  • Breaking Changes

    • The 0.90, 1.x, and 2.x compatible clients no longer ship by default - you should install one of the following:

      • Search::Elasticsearch::Client::2_0

      • Search::Elasticsearch::Client::2_0::Async

      • Search::Elasticsearch::Client::1_0

      • Search::Elasticsearch::Client::1_0::Async

      • Search::Elasticsearch::Client::0_90

      • Search::Elasticsearch::Client::0_90::Async

    • The code has been reorganised so that all client-related modules are under the S::E::API_VERSION::Client namespace; this includes S::E::Bulk and S::E::Scroll

    • Plugin authors note: the format for the API in ...Role::API has changed

    • S::E::Cxn::HTTP has been rolled into S::E::Cxn as Elasticsearch no longer supports other protocols

  • Updated perl-Test2 to 1.302062 as per the Fedora perl-Test-Simple package

Friday 21st October 2016

RPM Fusion Project

  • Became a provenpackager in the RPM Fusion project

  • Updated get-flash-videos (1.24) and perl-PGPLOT (2.21) in F-25 and Rawhide to specify all build requirements, particularly perl-generators, which is needed for proper dependency generation

Local Packages

  • Updated nmap to 7.31 (see CHANGELOG for details)

  • Updated perl-DateTime-TimeZone to 2.06:

    • This release is based on version 2016h of the Olson database
    • Contemporary changes for Palestine

  • Updated perl-Module-CoreList to 5.20161020:

    • Updated for v5.25.6

Saturday 22nd October 2016

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Sub-Exporter-Progressive to 0.001013 in F-25 and Rawhide: - * Avoid possible warnings about special variables only being used once

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-DateTime-Locale to 1.10:

    • Don't let warnings from other modules cause t/09version-check.t to fail (CPAN RT#118465)

  • Updated perl-Sub-Exporter-Progressive to 0.001013 as per the Fedora version

Sunday 23rd October 2016

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-MetaCPAN-Client to 1.028002 in F-25 and Rawhide:

    • Remove hard-deps for HTTP::Tiny::Mech and WWW::Mechanize::Cached (GH#50)

    • dist.ini: Don't automatically update cpanfile

    • Add eumm_version to dist.ini (GH#51)

    • Stop excluding cpanfile from being copied to build (GH#52)

    • A few small dist.ini tweaks (GH#53)

    • Even more dist.ini tweaks

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-MetaCPAN-Client to 1.028002 as per the Fedora version

Monday 24th October 2016

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-MetaCPAN-Client to 1.028003 in F-25 and Rawhide:

    • Removed AutoPrereqs from dist.ini

  • Updated perl-Test2-Plugin-NoWarnings to 0.04 in F-25 and Rawhide:

    • Load Test2::Event::Warning in the plugin instead of relying on Test2 to do it for us; this should avoid the bug fixed in the previous version and eliminates the need for the INIT block, which caused its own problems

RPM Fusion Project

  • Updated get_iplayer (2.97) and lives (2.8.0) in F-25 and Rawhide to build-require perl-generators for proper dependency generation

Local Packages

  • Updated getmail to 4.52.0:

    • Add 'ignore_header_shrinkage' parameter to Filter_external for users who know it is normal for their particular filter to result in a smaller message header than the source message, for example when the filter encapsulates the original message in a simpler wrapper message

    • Experimental: When deleting a message from an IMAP mailbox, set the \Seen flag in addition to the the \Deleted flag; this apparently prevents the ever-innovatively-broken MS Exchange from sending a spurious incorrect disposition-notification message to the sender of the message

    • Enable socket timeouts for IMAP SSL classes by default; they were disabled in the code because they were incompatible with SSL in older versions of Python

  • Updated perl-MetaCPAN-Client to 1.028003 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Test2-Plugin-NoWarnings to 0.04 as per the Fedora version

Tuesday 25th October 2016

Fedora Project

    • Added a basic dockerised test suite
    • crypto: Add support for the mbedTLS backend

    • libgcrypt: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference on OOM

    • VMS: Can't use %zd for off_t format

    • VMS: Update vms/libssh2_config.h

    • libssh2_channel_open: Speeling error fixed in channel error message

    • msvc: Fixed 14 compilation warnings

    • tests: HAVE_NETINET_IN_H was not defined correctly

    • OpenSSL: Add OpenSSL 1.1.0 compatibility

    • cmake: Add CLEAR_MEMORY option, analogously to that for autoconf

    • configure: Make the --with-* options override the OpenSSL default

    • libssh2_wait_socket: Set err_msg on errors

    • libssh2_wait_socket: Fix comparison with api_timeout to use milliseconds

RPM Fusion Project

  • Updated m2vmp2cut (0.86) and mplayer (1.3.0) in F-25 and Rawhide to build-require perl-generators for proper dependency generation

Local Packages

  • Updated libssh2 to 1.8.0 as per the Fedora version

Wednesday 26th October 2016

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Cpanel-JSON-XS to 3.0219 in Rawhide:

RPM Fusion Project

  • Updated mythtv-status (0.10.4), mythweb (0.28), ndiswrapper (1.60), normalize (0.7.7) and vdrsync (0.1.3) in F-25 and Rawhide to build-require perl-generators for proper dependency generation

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Cpanel-JSON-XS to 3.0219 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-File-Remove (1.57) not to build-require perl(Test::Kwalitee::Extra) when bootstrapping, to avoid a build dependency loop

  • Updated perl-Module-Build (0.4220) not to pull in optional test requirements Archive::Zip and PAR::Dist when bootstrapping (avoids build dependency loop via Test::MockModule and Archive::Zip), and to drop the runtime dependency on perl(PAR::Dist) for the same reason

  • Updated perl-YAML-LibYAML (0.71) not to build-require perl(Path::Class) when bootstrapping, to avoid a build dependency loop

Thursday 27th October 2016

Fedora Project

  • Updated gtkwave to 3.3.78 in F-25 and Rawhide:

    • Fixed crash when using multiple pattern searches

  • Updated perl-Test2-Plugin-NoWarnings (0.04) in F-25 and Rawhide not to build-require perl(Test2::Event::Warning) since it is provided by the package itself

Local Packages

  • Updated gtkwave to 3.3.78 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Module-Signature (0.81) to drop the runtime dependency on PAR::Dist, which creates a build dependency cycle with Module::Build; having Module::Signature support there is more valuable than having PAR::Dist support here (note that the Fedora perl-Module-Build package does not have a runtime dependency on perl(Module::Signature) so this isn't an issue there

  • Updated perl-Params-ValidationCompiler (0.13) to avoid bootstrap build dependency cycles via Moose and DateTime

  • Updated perl-Specio (0.30) to break some build dependency cycles by avoiding Moo/Mouse/Moose when bootstrapping

  • Updated perl-Test2-Plugin-NoWarnings (0.04) as per the Fedora version

Friday 28th October 2016

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Cpanel-JSON-XS to 3.0220 in Rawhide:

    • Add comprehensive JSON decode spectests from http://seriot.ch/parsing_json.html (GH#72)

    • Decode with BOM (UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32); for now only UTF-8, the others error

    • Fixed detection of final \0 as illegal non-whitespace garbage; fixes spectest 'n_number_then_00' (GH#72)

    • Changed decode of unicode noncharacters between U+FFFD and U+10FFFF to the recommended U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER, when not in the binary or relaxed mode

Local Packages

Sunday 30th October 2016

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Cpanel-JSON-XS to 3.0222 in Rawhide:

    • Fixed documentation of decode for unicode noncharacters

    • Added correct code to warn as in core
    • No replacement, ignore warnings when in relaxed mode

    • We used a wrong range too, but the wrong code from 3.0220 was never executed because of an coding error (GH#73, GH#74)

    • Fixed a perl 5.6 compilation regression from 3.0220

    • Improve decode_bom for multibyte encoding, but not yet enabled

    • Fix refcount error
    • Add 5.24 to travis tests

    • Enable decode_bom for multibyte encodings UTF16 and UTF32

    • Encode internally to UTF-8

Local Packages

Monday 31st October 2016

Fedora Project

  • Rebuilt perl-Object-InsideOut (4.02) and perl-Math-Random-MT-Auto (6.22) in Rawhide to bootstrap them for the new ppc64 and ppc64le architectures (they require each other at build time)

Local Packages

  • Updated dovecot:

    • Update dovecot to 2.2.26.0:

      • Fixed some compiling issues

      • auth: Fixed assert-crash when using NTLM or SKEY mechanisms and multiple passdbs

      • auth: Fixed crash when exporting to auth-worker passdb extra fields that had empty values

      • dsync: Fixed assert-crash in dsync_brain_sync_mailbox_deinit

    • Update pigeonhole to 0.4.16:

      • Part of the Sieve extprograms implementation was moved to Dovecot, which means that this release depends on Dovecot v2.2.26+

      • ManageSieve: The PUTSCRIPT command now allows uploading empty Sieve scripts; there was really no good reason to disallow doing that

      • Sieve vnd.dovecot.report extension:

        • Added a Dovecot-Reporting-User field to the report body, which contains the e-mail address of the user sending the report

        • Added support for configuring the "From:" address used in the report

      • LDA sieve plugin: Implemented support for a "discard script" that is run when the message is going to be discarded; this allows doing something other than throwing the message away for good

      • Sieve vnd.dovecot.environment extension: Added vnd.dovecot.config.* environment items; these environment items map to sieve_env_* settings from the plugin {} section in the configuration (such values can of course also be returned from userdb) ( Sieve vacation extension: Use the Microsoft X-Auto-Response-Suppress header to prevent unwanted responses from and to (older) Microsoft products

      • ManageSieve: Added rawlog_dir setting to store ManageSieve traffic logs; this replaces at least partially the rawlog plugin (mimics similar IMAP/POP3 change)

      • doveadm sieve plugin: synchronization: Prevent setting file timestamps to unix epoch time, which occurred when Dovecot passed the timestamp as 'unknown' during synchronization

      • Sieve exprograms plugin: Fixed spurious '+' sometimes returned at the end of socket-based program output

      • imapsieve plugin: Fixed crash occurring in specific situations

      • Performed various fixes based on static analysis and Clang warnings
