Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-JSON-XS to 4.0 in Rawhide:

    • SECURITY IMPLICATION: this release enables allow_nonref by default for compatibility with RFC 7159 and newer; see "old" vs. "new" JSON under SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

    • Reworked the "old" vs. "new" JSON section
    • Add ->boolean_values to provide the values to which booleans decode

    • decode would wrongly accept ASCII NUL characters instead of reporting them as trailing garbage

    • Work around what smells like a perl bug w.r.t. exceptions thrown in callbacks
    • Incremental parser now more or less respects allow_nonref

    • json_xs json-pretty now enables canonical mode

    • Add documentation section about I-JSON
    • Minor documentation fixes/updates

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-JSON-XS to 4.0 as per the Fedora version
