• Posted Perl Toolchain Summit 2024 in Lisbon to Kenichi Ishigaki

  Last year at the Perl Toolchain Summit (PTS) in Lyon, I left three draft pull requests: one about the class declaration introduced in Perl 5.37, one about the PAUSE on docker, and one about multifactor authentication. I wanted to brush them up and ask Andreas König to merge some, but which…

• Posted Perl Toolchain Summit 2023 in Lyon to Kenichi Ishigaki

  Four years have passed since the last Perl Toolchain Summit (PTS) in Marlow. I planned to continue working on PAUSE's web UI, but I didn't exactly remember what to do. So the first thing I did at home before the PTS was to read through the PAUSE issues and do some triage. I also resumed a virtual…

  DBD::SQLite 1.71_07 (with SQLite 3.39.4) is a release candidate for the next stable DBD::SQLite. This release is mainly to address a security hole found in SQLite, plus a few performance issues for perl built with -DDEBUGGING. See Changes for other fixes and changes.

  DBD::SQLite 1.67_07 (with SQLite 3.36.0) is a release candidate for the next stable DBD::SQLite. This release has a notable change to improve how to deal with Unicode/Latin-1 characters, contributed by Felipe Gasper. If you write a new application, it is recommended to use one of the newly…

  DBD::SQLite 1.65_03 (with SQLite 3.32.3) is a release candidate for the next stable DBD::SQLite. There are no big changes, maybe except for the ncrease of the default upper bound on the number of parameters from 999 to 32766 (since SQLite 3.32).

• Posted Perl Toolchain Summit and PAUSE Permission Management Per Distribution to Kenichi Ishigaki

  At the Perl Toolchain Summit 2019 in Marlow/Bisham, I added a feature to manage PAUSE permissions per distribution, which I hope makes it easier for you to grant permissions to other contributors.

  This was the fifth year of my PAUSE hacking. I had spent first two years to port PAU…

• Posted Next stable DBD::SQLite will be released at the end of December to Kenichi Ishigaki

  DBD::SQLite 1.61_04 (with SQLite 3.26.0) is a release candidate of the next stable DBD::SQLite. This release has a security fix for FTS users who allow arbitrary SQL statements from users for some reasons (usually because of a SQL injection vulnerability). I'll only wait for a week this time to…

  It also conta…

• Posted Next stable DBD::SQLite will be released at the end of February to Kenichi Ishigaki

  It's been a year since the last stable DBD::SQLite was released. Actually, it's been a year and a half since the SQLite library bundled in the last stable DBD::SQLite was released by the upstream. A lot have happened there, and some here. It's time for you to test them all against your…

• Posted Perl Toolchain Summit 2017 and PAUSE on Mojolicious in progress to Kenichi Ishigaki

  At the last two Perl QA Hackathons, I worked on porting PAUSE on Plack, to drop old mod_perl and Apache dependencies and make it easier to set up PAUSE on your local environment. It was successful, but more could be done to fix various (visual/security/usability) issues on PAUSE UI. So, at the…

• Posted Next stable DBD::SQLite will be released in mid November to Kenichi Ishigaki

  DBD::SQLite 1.51_06 (with SQLite 3.15.0) 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 FTS because DBD::SQLite has disabled two-arg fts3_tokenizer() for security…

• Posted QA Hackathon 2016 in Rugby to Kenichi Ishigaki

  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…

• Posted Next stable DBD::SQLite will be released in mid February to Kenichi Ishigaki

  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.

  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.

• Posted QA Hackathon 2015 and PAUSE on Plack to Kenichi Ishigaki

  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…

• Posted Next stable DBD::SQLite to be released in mid-December to Kenichi Ishigaki

  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…

• Posted Next stable DBD::SQLite to be released in late October to Kenichi Ishigaki

  Now I call DBD::SQLite 1.43_08 a release candidate of the next stable DBD::SQLite. Please test it with your modules/applications and let me know if you find anything. Due to some change(s) in the upstream SQLite library (since…

• Posted QA Hackathon 2014 and CPANTS to Kenichi Ishigaki

  I mostly worked on CPANTS at the QA Hackathon in Lyon, as I did in the previous years.

  As one of the significant topics of the hackathon was PAUSE permissions, I started to add PAUSE permissions handling to the CPANTS analyzer (thanks to Ricardo Signes), and introduced a "no_unauthorized_p…

• Posted DBD::SQLite 1.41_07 to Kenichi Ishigaki

  As the upstream released a new version of SQLite (3.8.4.1) and I was asked to include it in the next stable, I released yet anther release candidate: DBD::SQLite 1.41_07. There's no changes in Perl/XS, and all the bugs fixed in the stream should be obscure. I'm planning to release it as the next…

• Posted Next DBD::SQLite to be released in early March to Kenichi Ishigaki

  DBD::SQLite 1.41_06 is a release candidate of the next production release of DBD::SQLite. I'm planning to release it around the QA Hackathon in March if there's no blocking report. I suppose upgrading won't break your software, but please test it with 1.41_06 and post anything new you find to…

• Posted DBD::SQLite 1.39 to Kenichi Ishigaki

  It's been a year since DBD::SQLite team released the last stable version of DBD::SQLite (1.37). The team has added a few new features to retrieve database information, and applied a number of bug fixes thanks to the community, most notably the one to address an issue where bind_param didn't work…

• Commented on New CPANTS Site
  To Olivier: I know, and actually Module::CPANTS::Analyse used on the site is patched locally to suppress various warnings etc. Wait a bit more until I can tell all the significant show-stoppers are addressed....

  Sorry for the inconvenience. The site has been under maintenance and there's inconsistency right now. It will be fixed in about a day. Thank you for the report....

• Commented on Announcing acme.cpanauthors.org and cpants.charsbar.org
  Thank you for the heads-up. The Catalyst backend seems to have choked somehow. Restarted it, and it's fine now....
• Posted Announcing acme.cpanauthors.org and cpants.charsbar.org to Kenichi Ishigaki

  I'm happy to announce that I've launched a website for Acme::CPANAuthors modules. You can see which group is supposed to have the largest community, or have contributed to the CPAN most, or who is the most prolific author in a community or the author of the highest kwalitee. Of course these are…

• Posted DBD::SQLite 1.34_01 and mod_perl to Kenichi Ishigaki

  The DBD::SQLite team shipped a new developer release (version 1.34_01) with a patch by Mark Dootson. It should fix a long-standing "not an error" issue under the mod_perl/CentOS environment (reported and discussed in several tickets). I confirmed the bug was gone under the CentOS 5.5, but if you…

• Posted perlnews bot renewal to Kenichi Ishigaki

  I have recently replaced my perl news bot for IRC (#news@irc.perl.org) and Twitter (@perlnews) along with the server where it resides. Now it is powered by AnyEvent (it was a Plagger bot before), and its repository goes to github as well. If you find…

• Olivier Mengué (dolmen) commented on New CPANTS Site

  The most important issue (at least for me) is that Module::CPANTS::Analyse has a bug (with a patch) that needs the maitainers attention.

• domm commented on New CPANTS Site

  Thanks again for taking over! It was fun doing CPANTS for a while, but I just couldn't maintain it anymore. So I'm very happy that you and a few others have taken up the bat and continue they work!

  Greetings.
