Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Exception-Class to 1.44 in Rawhide:

    • You can now pass "frame_filter", "filter_frames_early" and "skip_frames" to the throw() method of an exception class; these will be passed on to the Devel::StackTrace constructor (GH#6)

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-Digest-SHA to 6.00:

    • Added "tag" option (BSD-style checksums) to shasum

      • Consistent with GNU sha1sum, sha224sum, etc.

    • Modified SHA.pm to use XSLoader

      • Falls back to DynaLoader if necessary

    • Decoupled Digest::SHA and Digest::SHA::PurePerl

      • Scripts/tests in each module now fully independent
      • Digest::SHA::PurePerl to be phased out eventually

      • Past versions will remain available
  • Updated perl-Exception-Class to 1.44 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Test2-Suite to 0.000097:

    • Discourage use of fragile thread features (rarely used)
    • Skip fragile/discouraged tests outside author testing
    • Document the above, and an environment variable to activate tests when desired
    • Documentation fixes
