Fedora Project

  • Updated gtkwave to 3.3.126 in Rawhide:

    • Added -H --noheader command line option for GTK3

    • Added headerbar rc variable to disable GTK3 headerbars

    • Fix for rendering multi-line string constants in dumps
    • Add warning message for missing XPM loader
    • Updated libghw to current version

    • Changed behaviour of X search in pattern search so it is matched by a single X bit
  • Updated perl-GD to 2.84 in Rawhide:

    • Added Makefile.PL --with and --without options to bypass auto-detection errors or upstream libgd or subsequent library errors (GH#55)

    • Better support MSWin32 without gdlib.pc (requires manual --options and --lib_gd_path)

    • Work around broken ExtUtils::PkgConfig->find (GH#61)

    • Fixed snprintf for newer MSVC (>= VS 2015)

    • Added GD::Image::supported() image types method

    • Added newFromTiffData() method

    • Fixed t/GD.t for unsupported image types

    • Add GIFANIM to the default since 2.0.33 (GH#56)

    • Honour PKG_CONFIG_PATH for finding gdlib.pc (GH#57)

    • Add demos/png2jpeg.pl

  • I added a patch to ensure that XPM support is included even if libX11 is not explicitly linked, if libgd has XPM support itself

  • Updated perl-IO-Socket-SSL to 2.096 in Rawhide:

    • Allow stacking TLS layers with SSL_usebio; this also allows LWP (after patches) to access an https site through a TLS-enabled proxy
