Tuesday 1st October 2024

Fedora Project

• Updated perl-Modern-Perl to 1.20241001 in F-41 and Rawhide:

  • Fix switch tests after Perl 5.41.4 removal of deprecated feature (CPAN RT#155822)

• Updated python-paramiko (2.12.0) to add support for AES-GCM ciphers (Bug #2311864)

• This is based on GH#2157, which was unmerged for a long time and then refactored as GH#2444 and subsequently merged into paramiko 3.5.0, with quite a number of upstream changes in the implementation; this backport is based on upstream's implementation rather than the original pull requests

Wednesday 2nd October 2024

Fedora Project

• Branched and built perl-Lingua-EN-Sentence (0.34) for EPEL-10

• Branched and built perl-Perl-Critic-Deprecated (1.119) for EPEL-10

Thursday 3rd October 2024

• Branched and built perl-Test-CleanNamespaces (0.24) for EPEL-10

• Branched and built perl-Want (0.29) for EPEL-10

Local Packages

• Rebuilt perl-Compress-Raw-Lzma (2.213) against xz 5.6.3 in Rawhide

• Updated perl-Test-Kwalitee (1.28) to avoid pulling in aspell for the package build

• Updated perl-Type-Tiny to 2.006000:

• Bug Fixes:

  • Fix uninitialized warning messages from Error::TypeTiny when processing very shallow stack traces

• Documentation:

  • Fixes for various typos (GH#155)

  • Improve documentation for the initialization of the 'coercion' attribute for 'Type::Tiny'

  • Fix minor typo in documentation for named parameters in 'Type::Params'

  • Update copyright notices in files to 2024
• Other:

  • Updated: Smartmatch discontinued beginning perl-5.41.3; Type::Tiny will no longer attempt to support smartmatch if the Perl version is too high (GH#161)

  • Improved initialization of variables when they are tied to a type constraint; initialization to explicit values will work even when not tied via the 'ttie' wrapper function; if no explicit values are provided, tied scalars will be initialized to the type's 'type_default'

  • So for example, 'tie( my $title, Str )' will initialize '$title' to the empty string instead of undef, and 'tie( my $title, Str, 'Foo' )' will initialize the variable to 'Foo' as was already implied by documentation

  • Inlining 'Int' now calls the XS implementation when available (the speed improvement is negligible, but it also may result in small memory savings) (GH#145)

  • Removed: Support for the ${^TYPE_PARAMS_MULTISIG} global variable has been dropped; using this global variable was deprecated in trial version 1.999_010 and stable version 2.000000, both of which are nearly two years old - use ${^_TYPE_PARAMS_MULTISIG} instead
