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
