Thursday 2nd April 2026

Fedora Project

• Updated bluefish to 2.4.1 in Rawhide:

  • Bluefish 2.4.1 is a minor maintenance release with a few notable changes
  • The experimental "side by side" feature that was introduced in 2.4.0 is no longer experimental and is fully stable now
  • A new feature is that Bluefish will automatically adjust the text colours for people that use a dark desktop theme
  • Translations for Ελληνικά (Greek) and தமிழ் (Tamiḻ) have been completely renewed
  • A critical bug and a regression in the split view function has been fixed

  • Data update for 2026-03-31

• Updated perl-IO-Tty to 1.25 in Rawhide:

• Bug Fixes:

  • Fix IO::Pty DESTROY force-closing the slave pty: the DESTROY method (added in 1.21) explicitly closed the cached slave handle, breaking consumers like IPC::Run that hold a reference to the slave via $pty->slave() and expect it to survive master destruction; now just deletes the internal reference and lets Perl's refcounting handle fd closure correctly (GH#62, GH#64)

• Maintenance:

  • Simplify version variables to a single source of truth: extract version from Tty.pm in Makefile.PL using MM->parse_version() instead of hard-coding it, use VERSION_FROM in WriteMakefile, and remove $XS_VERSION from Tty.pm (GH#61)

• Updated perl-IPC-Run to 20260401.0 in Rawhide:

• Bug fixes:

  • Require IO::Pty 1.25, which fixes stale pty slave fd after close_terminal in child, replacing defensive workarounds (GH#240, GH#241)

  • Close Win32IO socket/pipe handles explicitly in _cleanup to prevent handle leaks (GH#237, GH#246)

  • Handle $SIG{PIPE} set to 'DEFAULT' in _select_loop instead of crashing (GH#242, GH#244)

  • Handle $SIG{CHLD} set to '' or 'DEFAULT' in _select_loop (GH#262)

  • Fix PTYS typo in adopt() and missing TIMERS init in harness constructor (GH#260)

  • Handle PTY allocation failure gracefully in start() instead of dying with an unhelpful error (GH#267)

  • Correct Timer.pm POD typos, _parse_time error message, and remove redundant parse call (GH#251)

  • Prevent noexec probe from leaking TAP output in search_path_cache.t (GH#247)

• Improvements:

  • Correct broken POD links and code examples in documentation (GH#252)

• Maintenance:

  • Update GitHub URLs from toddr/IPC-Run to cpan-authors/IPC-Run (GH#263)

  • Replace GPL v2 full text with standard "same terms as Perl" license (GH#268)

  • Fix: Prevent output SV leaks on croak in Dump/DumpFile callers (GH#163)

  • Fix: Load() in list context returns empty list for empty/undef input; also applies to LoadBytes and LoadUTF8 (GH#164, GH#165)

  • Fix: DumpCode serializes prototype string instead of code body (GH#168)

  • Fix: Memory leak in !perl/scalar Load - newRV_inc should be newRV_noinc (GH#170)

  • Fix: Add pTHX_ to SAVEDESTRUCTOR_X callback for threaded Perl (GH#175, GH#176)

  • Fix: Negative hex and octal values parsed as 0 with ImplicitTyping (GH#183)

  • Fix: Negative int#base60 values produce unsigned wraparound (GH#185)

• Improvements:

  • Modernize META_MERGE for CPANTS compliance (GH#162)

• Updated perl-IO-Tty to 1.26 in Rawhide:

• Bug Fixes:

  • Fix strlcpy detection on DragonFly BSD to avoid static/non-static declaration conflict; added __DragonFly__ guard to the function test (paralleling __FreeBSD__) and added a belt-and-suspenders check for perl's own HAS_STRLCPY in Tty.xs (GH#67)

• Maintenance:

  • Add 5-minute timeout to all CI test steps to prevent hung tests from consuming CI resources indefinitely (GH#66)

• Bug fixes:

  • Detect undefined command in arrayref at harness parse time instead of deferring to start() (GH#164, GH#271, GH#272)

  • pipe_writer dropped input when data is the string "0" due to redundant boolean test on input buffer (GH#264)

  • Callback filter evaluates return in list context to distinguish empty return from the string "0", preventing infinite loop on Win32 (GH#264)

  • Skip pty output assertions on BSD/Darwin due to known pty drain timing issues on short-lived children (GH#240, GH#274)

  • Implement proper Windows command-line parsing per Microsoft C/C++ rules, fixing argument parsing failures with single-quoted strings containing whitespace (GH#273)

Sunday 5th April 2026

Monday 6th April 2026

Local Packages

• Updated perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS to 3.63:

  • Allow 'length(foo)' to work with any 'foo' type that has 'SvPV_nolen()' or similar in its typemap, not just that it maps to T_PV

  • Use static, not STATIC

  • Rewrite perlxs.pod

  • Finish refactoring to use an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) internally
  • Improve warning and error messages
  • Improve test coverage

  • Reorganise t/

• Updated perl-Net-Daemon to 0.52:

• Bug fixes:

  • Fix dead $RegExpLock that was never acquired in ithreads mode; the lock variable existed but was never actually locked before regexp compilation, leaving ithreads unprotected; also fix share() call to pass explicit ref for runtime-loaded prototype (GH#33)

  • Fix ithreads auto-detection to gate on Perl 5.10+ and exclude Windows; on Perl 5.8.x threads::shared is never loaded, making lock() a no-op; on Windows, DuplicateHandle() corrupts Winsock sockets - WSADuplicateSocket() is required instead (GH#19, GH#30, GH#50)

  • Correct $eventId hash key typo in Log.pm that prevented event IDs from being logged (GH#36)

  • Fix Done() call in test server Loop method - was called without arguments, preventing proper server shutdown (GH#38)

  • Clean up stale test artifacts (log, ndtest.cnt) (GH#40)

  • Harden ReadConfigFile against $@ contamination and $! errors (GH#44)

  • Skip pidfile write when pidfile option is not set, preventing spurious empty pidfile creation (GH#45)

  • Close cloned listening socket in ithreads handler threads; Perl ithreads dup every open handle into new threads; on Windows closing these at thread exit invalidated the parent's handle; also re-add Windows skip with root-cause documentation (GH#19, GH#30, GH#46)

  • Address CPAN testers failures in t/reap.t and t/fork.t (GH#48)

  • Skip ithread-detach.t on Perl < 5.10 (GH#49)

  • Verify privilege drop succeeded in Bind(); assigning to $>/$) silently fails without permission - the daemon would continue running as root (GH#51)

  • Use POSIX::setuid/setgid for permanent privilege drop in Bind(); the previous $< = ($> = $user) left saved-set-user-ID as root, allowing a compromised process to regain privileges (GH#55)

• Improvements:

  • Modernize open() calls to 3-arg form with lexical filehandles throughout the codebase (GH#41)

• Maintenance:

  • Fix POD typos and remove outdated alpha warning (GH#37)

  • Fix stale --mode=threads references and config example syntax in documentation (GH#39)

  • Update ancient FSF address in Net::Daemon::Test copyright (GH#34, GH#35)

  • Convert server tests from raw TAP to Test::More (GH#42)

  • Convert ithreads tests to Test::More and fix Test.pm fd leak (GH#43)

  • Convert remaining tests (loop.t, loop-child.t, unix_clients.t, forkm.t) to Test::More (GH#47)

• Updated perl-Pod-Simple to 3.48:

  • Add sections to manpage URLs (GH#193)

  • Better fallback when no HTML::Entities (GH#189)

  • Don't call each on an anonymous hash (GH#191)

  • Fix encoding of Unicode URL fragments (GH#194)
