Saturday 2nd May 2020

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-JSON-MaybeXS to 1.004001 in Rawhide:

  • Document when is_bool became available

  • Now favouring Cpanel::JSON::XS over JSON::XS in more situations (the former is always added to prereqs when a compiler is available, although JSON::XS is still used at runtime if new enough and Cpanel::JSON::XS is not installed); this makes boolean handling more predictable and consistent

Local Packages

• Updated perl-JSON-MaybeXS to 1.004001 as per the Fedora version

• Updated perl-Type-Tiny to 1.010002:

  • Better bareword handling on Perl < 5.14 (CPAN RT#132455)

  • If Scalar::Util was below 1.18, the LaxNum type from Types::Standard would accept blobs as being numbers; this is now fixed (CPAN RT#132426)

Sunday 3rd May 2020

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-YAML-LibYAML to 0.82 in Rawhide:

Monday 11th May 2020

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-MCE to 1.868 in Rawhide:

  • Improved IPC in MCE::Queue with permanent fast-like dequeue including dequeue_nb; going forward, the fast and barrier options are silently ignored if specified (i.e. no-op)

  • Improved IPC performance on Linux

  • Completed threads-like detach capability in MCE::Child

  • Resolved MCE::Channel failing when calling dequeue multiple times on an ended channel - MCE->say, MCE->print, and MCE->printf now return 1

• Updated perl-MCE-Shared to 1.868 in Rawhide:

  • Bug fix for UTF-8 issues during inter-process communication
    • This update required undoing optimizations specific to scalar args

Tuesday 12th May 2020

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-MCE-Shared to 1.869 in Rawhide:

  • Disabled unicode testing for MCE::Shared::Cache on Perl 5.10.1; testing for keys containing unicode is failing on RedHat 6.x but passing in meta::cpan (smoke tests)

  • Share array and hash deeply: only when using the TIE interface; this resolves an edge case for the OO interface and passing nested items during construction

  • Bumped MCE dependency to 1.868

  • Prevent possible use-after-free and double-free in ares_getaddrinfo() if ares_destroy() is called prior to ares_getaddrinfo() completing

  • Correct macros in use for the ares_getaddrinfo.3 man page
