Sunday 6th November 2022
Fedora Project
Updated python-paramiko to 2.12.0 in F-35, F-36, F-37, Rawhide and EPEL-9:
Add a 'transport_factory' kwarg to 'SSHClient.connect' for advanced users to gain more control over early Transport setup and manipulation (GH#2054, GH#2125)
Update '~paramiko.client.SSHClient' so it explicitly closes its wrapped socket object upon encountering socket errors at connection time; this should help somewhat with certain classes of memory leaks, resource warnings, and/or errors (though we hasten to remind everyone that Client and Transport have their own '.close()' methods for use in non-error situations!) (GH#1822)
Raise '~paramiko.ssh_exception.SSHException' explicitly when blank private key data is loaded, instead of the natural result of 'IndexError'; this should help more bits of Paramiko or Paramiko-adjacent codebases to correctly handle this class of error (GH#1599, GH#1637)

Local Packages
Updated perl-Term-ReadLine-Gnu to 1.44:

Fedora Project
Updated perl-Path-Tiny to 0.142 in Rawhide:
- Deprecations
- Tilde expansion is deprecated due to inconsistent and bug-prone behaviour
- Bug fixes
Prevent expansion of tildes that are not the very first character (e.g. "./~foo")
- Prevent unintentional tilde expansion during internal path processing
- Escape non-tilde glob characters before tilde expansion
Fixed spew/edit to a long filename approaching the filesystem length limit
Internal calls to 'print' are checked for possible errors
- Internal read calls are checked for errors
- Changes
Path stringification now adds "./" in front of paths starting with literal tilde so they will round-trip; FREEZE updated to use this stringification rule as well
'move' now uses File::Copy::move internally instead of the built-in 'rename', allowing it to work across filesystems; it also returns an object for the moved location, allowing chaining
edit_lines_raw now uses a buffered raw I/O layer
edit_lines_utf8 now prefers PerlIO::utf8_strict, if available
lines_utf8 now consistently uses a buffered I/O layer
open*_utf8 now prefers PerlIO::utf8_strict, if available
slurp_utf8 now consistently uses an unbuffered I/O layer
- Documented
- Changed all raw/UTF-8 layer descriptions in method documentation to match the code
Fixed SYNOPSIS syntax
Documented how to disable TMPDIR when making temp files/dirs
- Testing
- Add additional tilde stringification testing
- Fixed tilde expansion tests on Windows
- Skip a problematic test case on Cygwin

- New Features
Add new policy InputOutput::ProhibitBarewordDirHandles, comparable to ProhibitBarewordFilehandles (GH#912)
References::ProhibitDoubleSigils policy now allows for Perl's postfix dereference syntax and does not report a policy violation (GH#578)
Added Test::Class::Moose and MooseX::MethodAttributes::Role to the list of modules that are equivalent to "use strict" (GH#808, GH#886)
Subroutines::RequireArgUnpacking now detects anonymous subroutines with attributes, prototypes or signatures (GH#684)
ProhibitVoidMap and ProhibitVoidGrep now detect void context inside subs (GH#905), such as: sub { map { foo($_) } @list; return }
RequireArgUnpacking now allows a closure to be recognized as a way that subroutine arguments can be unpacked; this is specified with an optional allow_closures configuration option (GH#737)
ProhibitTwoArgOpen now disallows one-arg opens as well; also, it no longer allows two-arg opening of STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR (GH#652, GH#653)
- Fixes
ProhibitLeadingZeros would not handle sysopen and lexical variables correctly; this has been fixed (GH#789)
- Documentation
We note that the any() function is available in both List::MoreUtils and List::SomeUtils
Added instructions to perlcritic on how to integrate with Visual Studio Code
- Internals
Switch to using List::SomeUtils instead of List::MoreUtils
