Updated perl-Ref-Util-XS to 0.117 in Rawhide:
Allow the custom OPs to be deparsed with B::Deparse
- Optimize the shared object size by moving common call checker logic into a function
Updated svnmailer (1.0.9) in Rawhide to reflect package name change subversion-python → python2-subversion from Fedora 28 onwards (PR#1)
Local Packages
Updated city-fan.org-release (2.0) not to enable the repository by default; after installing this update, users will explicitly need to enable the city-fan.org repository in their package managers
I have made this change because the repository contains many updated versions of core libraries (in particular, libcurl), and disabling the repository by default should mitigate the chances of people making unintentional updates to those libraries
Updated curl (7.58.0) to disable brp-ldconfig to make RemovePathPostfixes work with shared libraries again (in Rawhide), and to work around (temporarily) internal compiler error on x86_64 (Bug #1540549)

Friday 2nd February 2018

Added Cpanel::JSON::XS::Type as 2nd optional encode argument (GH#94)
Removed calling get magic hooks twice in encode
Avoid setlocale race in threads with non-C locales, where the threads differ in the LC_NUMERIC locale (GH#99)
Fix uselocale() code
Probe for uselocale and xlocale.h with <5.22 threaded
Updated python-paramiko to 2.1.1 in EPEL-7, syncing with the package in RHEL 7 Extras except that the EPEL-7 version has the Python 3 build enabled; otherwise, the package follows the limited-arch package guidelines so as not to take priority over the upstream version of the package where available
Local Packages
Updated perl-Cpanel-JSON-XS to 4.00 as per the Fedora version, though I had to disable the probe for uselocale on Perl < 5.22 because the resulting build with uselocale appeared to crash on the last test in t/117_numbers.t, and the fallback version without uselocale ran the tests successfully
Saturday 3rd February 2018

Fixed defer_info not returning info for undeferred unnamed subs after the deferred sub expires
Include options in defer_info return data
Exclude internals from defer_info return data
Document defer_info function
- Encode all utf8 flagged scalars as strings, since they generally will always have originated as strings, which avoids future warning on bitwise ops on strings with wide characters
- More thorough check for threads availability to avoid needless test failures
Added file and line options to quote_sub to allow specifying apparent source location
Documented additional options to Sub::Defer::defer_sub and Sub::Quote::quote_sub
Updated xv (3.10a) to fix (hopefully) signal bug (RPM Fusion Bug #3044)

Allow precompiled templates to work with preprocessing (CPAN RT#29928)
