Ruby 2.3.1 Released Posted by nagachika on 26 Apr 2016
Ruby 2.3.1 has been released.
This is the first TEENY version release of the stable 2.3 series.
There are many bugfixes. See the ChangeLog for details.
Ruby 2.1.10 Released Posted by usa on 1 Apr 2016
Ruby 2.1.10 has been released. This release is not intended for production
use, but for compatibility tests with two-digit version numbers. You don¡Çt
have to replace Ruby 2.1.9 by 2.1.10 in normal use.
As announced in the 2.1.9 release post, Ruby 2.1.10 does not include any
changes from 2.1.9, except for its version number (and only one small related
change in its test suite). Please test your applications and/or libraries for
compatibility with two-digit version numbers.
Ruby 2.1.9 Released Posted by usa on 30 Mar 2016
Ruby 2.1.9 has been released.
This release includes many bug fixes. See ChangeLog for details.
As announced before, this is the last normal release of the Ruby 2.1
series. After this release we will never backport any bug fixes to 2.1 except
security fixes. We recommend that you start planning to upgrade to Ruby 2.3 or
2.2.
By the way, we are planning to release Ruby 2.1.10 in a few days. Ruby 2.1.10
will not include any changes from 2.1.9, except for its version number. You do
not have to use it on production, but you should test it because it has a
two-digit version number.
This will set all normal files to NONBINMODE (=644) avoiding, in the first
place, install warnings and errors about world and/or group writeability.
Some modules may even be shipped with egg-info files having mode 600
which has an adverse side-effect of wreaking havoc with setuptools
find_package() for *any* python module after installation of the culprit.
Ensuring world and group readability fixes this anomaly.

in Ecmascript and use fast C code functions to do heavy lifting.

NAME
perldelta - what is new for perl v5.22.2
DESCRIPTION
This document describes differences between the 5.22.1 release and the
5.22.2 release.
If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.22.0, first read
perl5221delta, which describes differences between 5.22.0 and 5.22.1.
Security
Fix out of boundary access in Win32 path handling
This is CVE-2015-8608. For more information see [perl #126755]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126755>.
Fix loss of taint in "canonpath()"
This is CVE-2015-8607. For more information see [perl #126862]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126862>.
Set proper umask before calling mkstemp(3)
In 5.22.0 perl started setting umask to 0600 before calling mkstemp(3)
and restoring it afterwards. This wrongfully tells open(2) to strip
the owner read and write bits from the given mode before applying it,
rather than the intended negation of leaving only those bits in place.
Systems that use mode 0666 in mkstemp(3) (like old versions of glibc)
create a file with permissions 0066, leaving world read and write
permissions regardless of current umask.
This has been fixed by using umask 0177 instead.
[perl #127322] <https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127322>
Avoid accessing uninitialized memory in Win32 "crypt()"
Validation that will detect both a short salt and invalid characters in
the salt has been added.
://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126922>
Remove duplicate environment variables from "environ"
Previously, if an environment variable appeared more than once in
"environ[]", %ENV would contain the last entry for that name, while a
typical "getenv()" would return the first entry. We now make sure %ENV
contains the same as what "getenv()" returns.
Secondly, we now remove duplicates from "environ[]", so if a setting
with that name is set in %ENV we won't pass an unsafe value to a child
process.
This is CVE-2016-2381.
Incompatible Changes
There are no changes intentionally incompatible with Perl 5.22.1. If
any exist, they are bugs, and we request that you submit a report. See
"Reporting Bugs" below.
Modules and Pragmata
Updated Modules and Pragmata
• File::Spec has been upgraded from version 3.56 to 3.56_01.
"canonpath()" now preserves taint. See "Fix loss of taint in
"canonpath()"".
• Module::CoreList has been upgraded from version 5.20151213 to
5.20160429.
The version number of Digest::SHA listed for Perl 5.18.4 was wrong
and has been corrected. Likewise for the version number of Config
in 5.18.3 and 5.18.4. [perl #127624]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127624>
Documentation
Changes to Existing Documentation
perldiag
• The explanation of the warning "unable to close filehandle %s
properly: %s" which can occur when doing an implicit close of a
filehandle has been expanded and improved.
perlfunc
• The documentation of "hex()" has been revised to clarify valid
inputs.
Configuration and Compilation
• Dtrace builds now build successfully on systems with a newer dtrace
that require an input object file that uses the probes in the .d
file.
Previously the probe would fail and cause a build failure.
[perl #122287] <https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=122287>
• Configure no longer probes for libnm by default. Originally this
was the "New Math" library, but the name has been re-used by the
GNOME NetworkManager.
[perl #127131] <https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127131>
• Configure now knows about gcc 5.
• Compiling perl with -DPERL_MEM_LOG now works again.
Platform Support
Platform-Specific Notes
Darwin
Compiling perl with -Dusecbacktrace on Darwin now works again.
[perl #127764] <https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127764>
OS X/Darwin
Builds with both -DDEBUGGING and threading enabled would fail with
a "panic: free from wrong pool" error when built or tested from
Terminal on OS X. This was caused by perl's internal management of
the environment conflicting with an atfork handler using the libc
"setenv()" function to update the environment.
Perl now uses "setenv()"/"unsetenv()" to update the environment on
OS X.
[perl #126240] <https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126240>
ppc64el
The floating point format of ppc64el (Debian naming for little-
endian PowerPC) is now detected correctly.
Tru64
A test failure in t/porting/extrefs.t has been fixed.
Internal Changes
• An unwarranted assertion in "Perl_newATTRSUB_x()" has been removed.
If a stub subroutine definition with a prototype has been seen,
then any subsequent stub (or definition) of the same subroutine
with an attribute was causing an assertion failure because of a
null pointer.
[perl #126845] <https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126845>
Selected Bug Fixes
• Calls to the placeholder &PL_sv_yes used internally when an
"import()" or "unimport()" method isn't found now correctly handle
scalar context. [perl #126042]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126042>
• The "pipe()" operator would assert for "DEBUGGING" builds instead
of producing the correct error message. The condition asserted on
is detected and reported on correctly without the assertions, so
the assertions were removed. [perl #126480]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126480>
• In some cases, failing to parse a here-doc would attempt to use
freed memory. This was caused by a pointer not being restored
correctly. [perl #126443]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126443>
• Perl now reports more context when it sees an array where it
expects to see an operator, and avoids an assertion failure. [perl
#123737] <https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=123737>
• If a here-doc was found while parsing another operator, the parser
had already read end of file, and the here-doc was not terminated,
perl could produce an assertion or a segmentation fault. This now
reliably complains about the unterminated here-doc. [perl #125540]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=125540>
• Parsing beyond the end of the buffer when processing a "#line"
directive with no filename is now avoided. [perl #127334]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127334>
• Perl 5.22.0 added support for the C99 hexadecimal floating point
notation, but sometimes misparsed hex floats. This has been fixed.
[perl #127183] <https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127183>
• Certain regex patterns involving a complemented posix class in an
inverted bracketed character class, and matching something else
optionally would improperly fail to match. An example of one that
could fail is "qr/_?[^\Wbar]\x{100}/". This has been fixed. [perl
#127537] <https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127537>
• Fixed an issue with "pack()" where "pack "H"" (and "pack "h"")
could read past the source when given a non-utf8 source and a utf8
target. [perl #126325]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126325>
• Fixed some cases where perl would abort due to a segmentation
fault, or a C-level assert. [perl #126193]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126193> [perl #126257]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126257> [perl #126258]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126258> [perl #126405]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126405> [perl #126602]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126602> [perl #127773]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127773> [perl #127786]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127786>
• A memory leak when setting $ENV{foo} on Darwin has been fixed.
[perl #126240] <https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126240>
• Perl now correctly raises an error when trying to compile patterns
with unterminated character classes while there are trailing
backslashes. [perl #126141]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126141>
• "NOTHING" regops and "EXACTFU_SS" regops in "make_trie()" are now
handled properly. [perl #126206]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126206>
• Perl now only tests "semctl()" if we have everything needed to use
it. In FreeBSD the "semctl()" entry point may exist, but it can be
disabled by policy. [perl #127533]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127533>
• A regression that allowed undeclared barewords as hash keys to work
despite strictures has been fixed. [perl #126981]
<https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126981>
• As an optimization (introduced in Perl 5.20.0), "uc()", "lc()",
"ucfirst()" and "lcfirst()" sometimes modify their argument in-
place rather than returning a modified copy. The criteria for this
optimization has been made stricter to avoid these functions
accidentally modifying in-place when they should not, which has
been happening in some cases, e.g. in List::Util.
• Excessive memory usage in the compilation of some regular
expressions involving non-ASCII characters has been reduced. A
more complete fix is forthcoming in Perl 5.24.0.

Applications should read from /dev/urandom when they need randomly
generated data, e.g. key material for cryptography or seeds for
simulations.
This release will become the new LTS later in 2016.
The following significant changes have been made since the
previous Node.js v5.0.0 release.
Buffer
- New Buffer constructors have been added #4682 and #5833.
- Existing Buffer() and SlowBuffer() constructors have been
deprecated in docs #4682 and #5833.
- Previously deprecated Buffer APIs are removed #5048, #4594.
- Improved error handling #4514.
- The Buffer.prototype.lastIndexOf() method has been added #4846.
Cluster
- Worker emitted as first argument in 'message' event #5361.
- The worker.exitedAfterDisconnect property replaces
worker.suicide #3743.
Console
- Calling console.timeEnd() with an unknown label now emits a
process warning rather than throwing #5901.
Crypto
- Improved error handling #3100, #5611.
- Simplified Certificate class bindings #5382.
- Improved control over FIPS mode #5181.
- pbkdf2 digest overloading is deprecated #4047.
Dependencies
- Reintroduce shared c-ares build support #5775.
- V8 updated to 5.0.71.35 #6372.
DNS
- Add dns.resolvePtr() API to query plain DNS PTR records #4921.
Domains
- Clear stack when no error handler #4659.
Events
- The EventEmitter.prototype._events object no longer inherits
from Object.prototype #6092.
- The EventEmitter.prototype.prependListener() and
EventEmitter.prototype.prependOnceListener() methods have been
added #6032.
File System
- The fs.realpath() and fs.realpathSync() methods have been
updated to use a more efficient libuv-based implementation. This
change includes the removal of the cache argument and the method
can throw new errors #3594.
- FS apis can now accept and return paths as Buffers #5616.
- Error handling and type checking improvements #5616, #5590,
#4518, #3917.
- fs.read's string interface is deprecated #4525.
HTTP

monotonic_timestamp | strict_monotonic_timestamp.
- Introduced a validation callback for heart.
- The module overload in sasl has been deprecated.
- ~90 contributions since 18.2
