Fedora Project
Updated pari to 2.9.3 in F-26 and Rawhide (see CHANGES for details)
RPM Fusion Project
Rebuilt get_iplayer (3.01) for Perl 5.26 in Rawhide
Rebuilt lives (2.8.7) for Perl 5.26 in Rawhide
Local Packages
Updated perl-Coro to 6.512:
Seems to pass test suite down till 5.8.9, so make this the minimum requirement in Makefile.PL
Experimental 5.24 compatibility changes (SUB_ARGARRAY)
Experimental 5.26 compatibility changes (PL_comppad → PADOFFSET)
Disable FORTIFY_SOURCE to avoid broken (but well-intentioned) fortified longjmp variants in some libcs
Re-try JIT allocation without PROT_EXEC, to hopefully improve portability (still doesn't seem to work around broken SELinux mmap everywhere)
- Spelling fixes
Updated perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder to 0.280226:
New location of libperl on Win32 when building core (CPAN RT#126632)
Fix C++ compiler detection (CPAN RT#131749)
Updated perl-interpreter to provide perl-generators prior to Fedora 21 so that that can be used unconditionally as well
Updated perl-Net-DNS-Resolver-Programmable to 0.005:
BIGPRESH taking over maintainership of this seemingly orphaned but very useful distribution
Avoid deprecated make_query_packet() call (CPAN RT#109266)
Remove debian/ subdir (CPAN RT#108522)
Regenerate README via pod2readme
- Fix version number in older changelog entry
Remove use of deprecated qv()
Import rcode list from Net::DNS (CPAN RT#96390)
Updated perl-Test-Script to 1.20:
Use Test2::V0 instead of Test2::Bundle::Extended for Test2 tests
Add support for stdin option that was lost in the Capture::Tiny migration
- Minor documentation fixes
Officially drop support for Perl 5.6 (support for 5.6 was already implicitly dropped when we migrated to Capture::Tiny)
A near term future version will also drop support for the old pre-Test2 Test::Builder
