    • This release is based on version 2019b of the Olson database
    • Contemporary changes for Brazil and Palestine

Friday 5th July 2019

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Apache-Session-Browseable to 1.3.2 in Rawhide:

    • Allow sentinel list to be passed as a comma-delimited string

Sunday 7th July 2019

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-MCE to 1.840 in Rawhide:

  • New Features
    • Added MCE::Mutex::Channel2 providing two locks using a single channel; the secondary lock is accessible by calling methods with the '2' suffix, e.g. primary mutex ->lock, ->unlock; secondary mutex ->lock2, ->unlock2

    • Added MCE::Channel providing queue-like and two-way communication supporting threads and processes

    • Added MCE::Child and compatibility with Perl 5.8; MCE::Child is based on MCE::Hobo, but using MCE::Channel for data retrieval without involving a shared-manager process

    • Added MCE::Channel examples { channel1.pl and channel2.pl } using threads and MCE::Child respectively

  • Enhancements
    • IPC update; removed unnecessary overhead including private methods _sysseek and _syswrite from MCE::Util (no longer needed)

    • Improved MCE->do, now callable by workers and the manager process

    • Updated MCE::{ Flow, Grep, Loop, Map, Step, and Stream } documentation on passing an array reference versus a list for deeply input data

    • Updated and re-organized the top-level MCE documentation, particularly improved clarity for the 'MCE Models' section

    • Removed MANIFEST.SKIP

    • Update MCE::Channel POD documentation

  • Updated perl-MCE-Shared to 1.841 in Rawhide:

    • IPC update; raising reliability across multiple platforms
    • Improved the hack for the Windows platform to MCE::Shared::Server

    • Support reading a shared <DATA> handle residing in the main script without involving the IO::FDPass module

    • Added barrier option to MCE::Shared::Queue allowing one to disable

    • Added mutex locking for all shared objects, previously just condvars
    • Added void_context option to MCE::Hobo

    • Renamed POD method headers from '=item' to '=head2' in Shared classes

    • Bumped MCE dependency to 1.839

    • Removed MANIFEST.SKIP

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-MCE to 1.840 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-MCE-Shared to 1.841 as per the Fedora version

Monday 8th July 2019

Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-indirect to 0.39 in Rawhide:

    • Fix failures on perl ≥ 5.28.0 with -DDEBUGGING (CPAN RT#127118); the module has been amended to accommodate with a change of behaviour of a core macro

    • Updated contact information
  • Updated perl-MCE to 1.841 in Rawhide:

    • Disabled t/04_channel_threads testing on Unix platforms for Perl less than 5.10.1; basically, the MCE::Channel::Threads implementation is not supported on older Perls unless the OS vendor applied upstream patches (i.e. works on RedHat/CentOS 5.x running Perl 5.8.x)

    • Added LIMITATIONS section to MCE::Channel::Threads

  • Updated perl-Perl-PrereqScanner-NotQuiteLite to 0.9906 in Rawhide:

    • Fixed PackageVariant parser not to die when it finds something other than importing

Local Packages

  • Updated perl-MCE to 1.841 as per the Fedora version

  • Updated perl-Perl-PrereqScanner-NotQuiteLite to 0.9906 as per the Fedora version

Wednesday 10th July 2019

Local Packages

    • Attempt to handle new blead binary/hexadecimal parsing behaviour in tests
  • Updated perl-Text-Template to 1.56:

    • Fix typos in Changes file

Monday 15th July 2019

Local Packages

  • Updated dovecot:

    • Updated dovecot to 2.3.7:

      • fts-solr: Removed break-imap-search parameter

      • Added more events for the new statistics, see https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/

      • mail-lua: Add IMAP metadata accessors, see https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/lua/

      • Add event exporters that allow exporting raw events to log files and external systems, see https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/event_export/

      • SNIPPET is now PREVIEW and size has been increased to 200 characters

      • Add body option to fts_enforced; this triggers building FTS index only on body search, and an error using FTS index fails the search rather than reads through all the mails

      • Submission/LMTP: Fixed crash when domain argument is invalid in a second EHLO/LHLO command

      • Copying/moving mails using Maildir format loses IMAP keywords in the destination if the mail also has no system flags
      • mail_attachment_detection_options=add-flags-on-save caused email body to be unnecessarily opened when FETCHing mail headers that were already cached

      • Mail attachment detection keywords not saved with maildir
      • dovecot.index.cache may have grown excessively large in some situations; this happened especially when using autoexpunging with lazy_expunge folders (also with mdbox format in general the cache file wasn't recreated as often as it should have)

      • Autoexpunged mails weren't immediately deleted from the disk; instead, the deletion from disk happened the next time the folder was opened, which could have caused unnecessary delays if the opening was done by an interactive IMAP session
      • Dovecot's TCP connections sometimes add extra 40 ms latency due to not enabling TCP_NODELAY; HTTP and SMTP/LMTP connections weren't affected, but everything else was (this delay wasn't always visible - only in some situations with some message/packet sizes)

      • imapc: Fix various crash conditions

      • Dovecot builds were not always reproducible
      • login-proxy: With shutdown_clients=no after config reload the existing connections could no longer be listed or kicked with doveadm

      • "doveadm proxy kick" with -f parameter caused a crash in some situations

      • Auth policy can cause segmentation fault crash during auth process shutdown if all auth requests have not been finished
      • Fix various minor bugs leading to incorrect behaviour in mailbox list index handling; these rarely caused noticeable problems
      • LDAP auth: Iteration accesses freed memory, possibly crashing auth-worker

      • local_name { .. } filter in dovecot.conf does not correctly support multiple names and wildcards were matched incorrectly

      • replicator: dsync assert-crashes if it can't connect to remote TCP server

      • config: Memory leak in config process when ssl_dh setting wasn't set and there was no ssl-parameters.dat file; this caused config process to die once in a while with "out of memory"

    • Updated pigeonhole to 0.5.7:

      • vacation: Made the subject for the automatic response message produced by the Sieve vacation action configurable; both the default subject (if the script defines none) and the subject template (e.g. used to add a subject prefix) can be configured

      • dsync: dsync-replication does not synchronize Sieve scripts

      • imap_sieve_filter: Reduce FILTER=SIEVE verbosity over IMAP connection

      • testsuite: Pigeonhole testsuite segfaulted if it was compiled with GCC 9
  • Updated perl-IPC-Cmd to 1.04:

    • Fixed usage of setsid() (GH#21)

Tuesday 16th July 2019

  • Updated perl-MooseX-Role-Parameterized to 1.11 in Rawhide:

    • Remove MooseX::Role::WithOverloading from test dependencies (CPAN RT#130075)
