==== Local Packages ====

 * Updated `perl-DBI` to 1.637:
  * Fix use of externally controlled format string ([[https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/134.html|CWE-134]]) (GH#44); this could cause a crash if, for example, a db error contained a `%`
  * Fix extension detection for `DBD::File` related drivers
  * Fix tests for perl without dot in `@INC` ([[CPAN:120443|CPAN RT#120443]])
  * Fix loss of error message on parent handle ([[https://github.com/perl5-dbi/dbi/pull/34|GH#34]])
  * Fix disappearing `$_` inside callbacks ([[https://github.com/perl5-dbi/dbi/pull/47|GH#47]])
  * Allow objects to be used as passwords without throwing an error ([[https://github.com/perl5-dbi/dbi/pull/40|GH#40]])
  * Allow `$sth NAME_*` attributes to be set from Perl code ([[https://github.com/perl5-dbi/dbi/pull/45|GH#45]])
  * Added support for `DBD::XMLSimple` ([[https://github.com/perl5-dbi/dbi/pull/38|GH#38]])
  * Documentation updates:
   * Improve examples using `eval` to be more correct ([[https://github.com/perl5-dbi/dbi/pull/39|GH#39]])
   * Add cautionary note to `prepare_cached` docs re refs in `%attr` ([[https://github.com/perl5-dbi/dbi/issues/46|GH#46]])
   * Small POD changes (`Getting Help -> Online`) ([[https://github.com/perl5-dbi/dbi/issues/33|GH#33]])
   * Add links to more module names and fix typo ([[https://github.com/perl5-dbi/dbi/issues/43|GH#43]])
   * Typo fix ([[https://github.com/perl5-dbi/dbi/pull/37|GH#37]])
 * Updated `perl-JSON-XS` to 3.04:
  * Change exponential `realloc` algorithm on encoding and string decoding to be really exponential (this helps slow/debugging allocators such as `libumem`)
  * String encoding would needlessly over-allocate output space
  * Be very paranoid about extending buffer lengths and croak if buffers get too large, which might (or might not) improve security
  * Add `cbor-packed` type to `json_xs`
  * Switch from `YAML` to `YAML::XS` in `json_xs`, as `YAML` is way too buggy and outdated
 * Updated `perl-Text-Diff` to 1.45:
  * Typo fixed in documentation ([[CPAN:112564|CPAN RT#112564]])
  * Documentation improvements ([[https://github.com/neilb/Text-Diff/pull/2|GH#2]])
