Monday 2nd January 2023
Fedora Project
Updated perl-Exporter-Tiny to 1.006000 in F-36 and F-37 (updated in Rawhide on 22nd November 2022):
Introduced lexical exporter support on Perl 5.11.2+ using the Lexical::Var module
- Refactored the Perl 5.37.2+ lexical exporter support
This was to support updating perl-Type-Tiny in F-36 and F-37
Updated perl-File-Find-Object: to 0.3.7 in Rawhide:
Fix test failures on Windows (GH#2)
Updated perl-Test-File to 1.993 in Rawhide:
Try harder to check for symlinks on Windows by stealing some code from Win32:: (GH#36)
Local Packages
Updated perl-File-Find-Object: to 0.3.7 as per the Fedora version
Updated perl-Test-File to 1.993 as per the Fedora version
Updated perl-Type-Tiny to 2.002000:
- Bug Fixes
Avoid uninitialized warnings when creating a union between an Enum type and a non-Enum type
When Foo is a parameterized StrMatch type, ensure is_Foo always returns a single boolean value, even in list context
- Packaging
Depend on Exporter::Tiny 1.006000, which offers lexical export support for older versions of Perl, provided Lexical::Sub is installed
- Documentation
Clearer documentation of Types::TypeTiny::to_TypeTiny
Typo fix in Type::Tiny::Manual::UsingWithMoo
Update NEWS
- Update copyright dates to 2023
- Test Suite
No longer report Type::Tie version at start of test suite, as Type::Tie is now bundled
Test 't/20-modules/Type-Tiny-Enum/exporter_lexical.t' will now run on older versions of Perl, provided Lexical::Sub is installed
- Other
Added: Type::Library now has an undocumented, but tested and hopefully stable '_remove_type' method
Added: Type::Tiny now has a 'definition_context' attribute/method indicating the file and line number where a type constraint was first defined
The list of packages Type::Tiny considers to be 'internal' has been moved from Error::TypeTiny to Type::Tiny
Type::Tiny will now mark particular parts of its guts as readonly; currently this is mainly used to prevent people pushing to and popping from type constraints that overload '@{}'
Type::Library will better detect if two types result in functions with the same name
Type::Tiny::XS will now provide XS implementations of some parameterized ArrayLike/HashLike types
When importing 'use Type::Library -util', Type::Library will now pass some relevant import options to Type::Utils
If Type::Params signatures receives multiple unrecognized named arguments, the error message now lists them using Type::Utils::english_list() instead of just joining them with commas; this means that the error message will include 'and' before the last unrecognized named argument (if Type::Tiny::AvoidCallbacks is set to true while the signature is compiled, the old behaviour will be retained)
Type::Params no longer attempts to figure out the maximum number of expected arguments to functions that take key-value pairs; this allows 'yourfunc(y=>1,y=>2)' to behave more intuitively, with the function just seeing the second value for 'y', instead of it throwing an exception complaining about too many arguments

Updated python-paramiko to 3.0.0 in Rawhide:
Remove some unnecessary '__repr__' calls when handling bytes-vs-str conversions; this was apparently doing a lot of unintentional data processing, which adds up in some use cases, such as SFTP transfers, which may now be significantly faster (GH#2110)
Streamline some redundant (and costly) byte conversion calls in the packetizer and the core SFTP module; this should lead to some SFTP speed-ups at the very least (GH#2165)
'paramiko.util.retry_on_signal' (and any internal uses of same, and also any internal retries of 'EINTR' on e.g. socket operations) has been removed; as of Python 3.5, per PEP 475 (https://peps.python.org/pep-0475/), this functionality (and retrying 'EINTR' generally) is now part of the standard library
- Note: This change is backwards incompatible if you were explicitly importing/using this particular function; the observable behaviour otherwise should not be changing
'~paramiko.config.SSHConfig' used to straight-up delete the 'proxycommand' key from config lookup results when the source config said 'ProxyCommand none'; this has been altered to preserve the key and give it the Python value 'None', thus making the Python representation more in line with the source config file
Note: This change is backwards incompatible if you were relying on the old (1.x, 2.x) behaviour for some reason (e.g. assuming all 'proxycommand' values were valid subcommand strings)
The behaviour of private key classes' (i.e. anything inheriting from '~paramiko.pkey.PKey') private key writing methods used to perform a manual, extra 'chmod' call after writing; this hasn't been strictly necessary since the mid 2.x release line (when key writing started giving the 'mode' argument to 'os.open'), and has now been removed entirely; this should only be observable if you were mocking Paramiko's system calls during your own testing, or similar
'PKey.__cmp__' has been removed - ordering-oriented comparison of key files is unlikely to have ever made sense (the old implementation attempted to order by the hashes of the key material) and so we have not bothered setting up '__lt__' and friends at this time; the class continues to have its original '__eq__' untouched
- Note: This change is backwards incompatible if you were actually trying to sort public key objects (directly or indirectly); please file bug reports detailing your use case if you have some intractable need for this behaviour, and we'll consider adding back the necessary Python 3 magic methods so that it works as before
A handful of lower-level classes (notably 'paramiko.message.Message' and 'paramiko.pkey.PKey') previously returned 'bytes' objects from their implementation of '__str__', even under Python 3; and there was never any '__bytes__' method; these issues have been fixed by renaming '__str__' to '__bytes__' and relying on Python's default "stringification returns the output of '__repr__'" behaviour re: any real attempts to 'str()' such objects
'paramiko.common.asbytes' has been moved to 'paramiko.util.asbytes'
- Note: This change is backwards incompatible if you were directly using this function (which is unlikely)
Remove the now irrelevant 'paramiko.py3compat' module
Note: This change is backwards incompatible - such references should be search-and-replaced with their modern Python 3.6+ equivalents; in some cases, still-useful methods or values have been moved to 'paramiko.util' (most) or 'paramiko.common' ('byte_*')
Drop support for Python versions less than 3.6, including Python 2; so long and thanks for all the fish! Our packaging metadata has been updated to include 'python_requires', so this should not cause breakage unless you're on an old installation method that can't read this metadata
Note: As part of this change, our dependencies have been updated; e.g. we now require Cryptography>=3.3, up from 2.5
