Recently Andreas alerted me to a problem with the SQLite database used to store the basic metadata for the CPAN Testers statistical database, aka cpanstats. On reading the database, for some queries an error message is now being returned; "database disk image is malformed". It's unclear where the error has occurred, but it seems to have been something that has only surfaced recently.

October was a rather quiet month publicly, but behind the scenes there has been a number of fixes, improvements and discussions.
