Fedora Project

  • Updated bluefish to 2.4.2 in F-44, Rawhide and EPEL-10:

    • Bluefish 2.4.2 has a few new features and a few fixes
    • The most visible change is that Bluefish detects icon themes, and has built-in icon themes for "Breeze" and "Breeze-dark"; this is a big improvement for the visual integration of Bluefish on a KDE desktop
    • The most important fix is for a segfault that could occur if a filename on disk has a specific broken UTF-8 encoding

    • Some small improvements are reduced memory usage when working with 100+ files simultaneously, some translation improvements, and the <meta> author field is now configurable

  • Updated perl-Business-ISBN-Data to 20260717.001 in Rawhide:

    • Data update for 2026-07-17

  • Updated perl-Cpanel-JSON-XS to 4.43 in Rawhide:

    • Fix canonical sort: Compare by UTF-16 code units per RFC 8785 (GH#248)

    • Fix canonical sort on Perl 5.8-5.18: utf16_cmp now always attempts UTF-8 decoding instead of checking SvUTF8 flag, since older Perls may store valid UTF-8 hash keys without the flag set

    • Fix quadmath encode dropping ".0" for large floats (GH#246)

      • The .0 guard condition that suppressed appending for NV values > UV_MAX was incorrect on high-precision FP (quadmath, 128-bit long double on arm64) where %g uses fixed-point notation for values like 1.01e30

      • Guarded with #if NV_DIG < 31 to skip only on double/80-bit-ld where %g naturally uses %e for large values
