Last year, at the QA Hackathon 2015 in Berlin, I created a branch for PAUSE to use Plack, and succeeded to make it live on a staging environment. However, we didn't merge it into the master, because we knew we still need something to keep it running. Thus naturally, one of my goals of this year's hackathon was to do those necessary things. I spent about two days with Andreas Koenig and Slaven Rezic to make Plack-driven PAUSE stable, fixing several bugs/regressions I made last year, and tweaking options for Starman and Perlbal. We may still have several issues to deal with (including an…

DBD::SQLite 1.49_05 (with SQLite 3.10.0) is a release candidate of the next stable DBD::SQLite. As always, please test it with your modules/applications and let me know if you find anything, especially if you're using a PerlData virtual table, and/or ReadOnly attribute. If there's no blocker nor request to wait, I'll release 1.50 in the mid February.

DBD::SQLite 1.50 will also have JSON functions (http://www.sqlite.org/json1.html) and indices on expressions (http://www.sqlite.org/expridx.html…

DBD::SQLite 1.47_05 is a release candidate of the next stable DBD::SQLite. As always, please test it with your modules/applications and let me know if you find anything. If there's no blocker nor request to wait, I'll release 1.48 in the mid June, hopefully on 11th, the day after the YAPC::NA is over.

There'll be no big change in DBD::SQLite 1.48 itself, but a few notable changes that might affect you include:

• Fixed optimization (-O2) was removed. This usually shouldn't matter, but if your perl is compiled with a different level of optimization, test carefully.
• …

At the previous QA hackathons, I spent most of my time on improving various aspects of CPANTS. However, I usually couldn't see what I implemented there online, because it takes about a day to analyze everything. All I could do was to start the analyzer before I fly back and confirm the result at home.

This year, things went differently for me. I spent three days on porting PAUSE Web UI using Plack toolkit, and was able to actually see the result there.

Why ported?

Accoring to the history, the current form of PAUSE was (re-)written in 1999. As were serious web applicati…

DBD::SQLite 1.45_05 is a release candidate of the next stable DBD::SQLite. I usually wait one month for users to test, but as it includes an important security fix for PerlData virtual table, I'll release it a bit earlier than usual, in mid-December, hopefully on 10th (if there's no blocker nor request to wait). Please test it with your modules/applications and let me know if you find anything. I also strongly encourage you to upgrade DBD::SQLite to this release candidate immediately if you're using PerlData virtual table.
