dbus 1.12.6 (2018-03-01)
========================
The “just the one swan, actually” release.
Fixes:
• Increase system dbus-daemon's RLIMIT_NOFILE rlimit before it drops
privileges, because it won't have permission afterwards. This fixes a
regression in dbus 1.10.18 and 1.11.0 which made the standard system bus
more susceptible to deliberate or accidental denial of service.
(fd.o #105165, David King)
abcde 2.9.1
* Merged Debian packaging files updates
* Fixups in the new Musicbrainz code:
+ Cope with not finding an entry for a CD!
+ Fix (again!) dealing with CDs with no release events
-- Steve McIntyre <93sam@debian.org> Fri, 09 Mar 2018 23:01:04 +0000
abcde 2.9
* Add some documentation for the aged CD ripper dagrab. Thanks to
Teika Kazura for the notification and suggested documentation. This
closes Issue 50: https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50
* Work by Matthias Andree <matthias.andree@gmx.de> to address the issue
where abcde fails with accented characters from CD-TEXT. The issue and
partial fix applied here documented in Issue 53:
https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53
and also in the abcde mailing list:
https://lists.einval.com/pipermail/abcde-users/2017-January/000232.html
* Allow for embedding of album art downloaded by the getalbumart function.
Currently this is available for flac (using metaflac), mp3 (using eyed3),
m4a (using AtomicParsley) and WavPack aka wv (using wvtag).
This can be invoked in 3 ways:
1. Use the commandline '-B' option (this will also call getalbumart)
2. Use the commandline '-a embedalbumart' option to add to list of actions
3. Use 'embedalbumart' in the 'ACTIONS' list in ~/.abcde.conf
Still needs more development but it is perfectly usable at the moment!
* Use md5 rather than md5sum under macOS. Thanks to JCount for the bug
report and also the fix. This solves Issue 59:
https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59
* Support added for encoding with Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF).
Thanks to Massimo Villa for the feature request. FFmpeg is required
for the encoding, the container and suffix are 'aiff'.
* Allow selection of either cddb or musicbrainz from the command line:
-Q Select CDDBMETHOD from the command line. Choice is cddb or musicbrainz.
Command line letters are fast running out but the 'Q' option quite neatly
stands for 'Query'!
* Allow for embedding with do_embedalbumart() for single track encodes when
OUTPUTFORMAT and ONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT are different. Thanks to Ashley Gittins
for the bug report. This closes Issue 63:
https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63
* Experimental support for embedding albumart with ogg files. The slightly
tortuous technique drawn from 2 sources:
1. https://github.com/biapy/howto.biapy.com/blob/master/various/mussync-tools
2. https://github.com/acabal/scripts/blob/master/ogg-cover-art
Testing is strongly encouraged, perhaps the simplest way to test is with:
abcde -o ogg -B
Or the appropriate settings in an ~/.abcde.conf file.
* Massive rework of CD lookup code so support multiple sources
better. Thanks to Gabriel Rosenkoetter for his initial idea in this
area, and to Tomasz Goliński on irc for initial inspiration on how
this should work better.
There are now 3 different options for CD lookup: cddb, musicbrainz and
cdtext. They can all be listed in a comma-separated list for
CDDBMETHOD and the code will now call all of them in the sequence
listed. All the results will be combined into one list at the end for
the user to select, just like would have previously worked for one
source only. Closes Issue 42:
https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42
* Fix Musicbrainz ID calculation in makeids()
Apply fix suggested by petecollins24@gmail.com; add PREGAP to
LEADOUT to correct Musicbrainz ID calculation. Hopefully closes
Issue 54: https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54
* Fix abcde.mkcue() when handling the --wholedisk option. Thanks to
Nino Burini for the patch. Closes Issue 47 and maybe also 45:
https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=47https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45
* Add more comprehensive examples for filename munging in the example
config file. Closes Issue 49:
https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49
* Add a more better fix for the year lookup problem in abcde-musicbrainz-tool
Thanks to Tom Samstag for the patch. Closes Issue 57:
https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57
* Redirect stderr on "which" calls to clear up error noise on some
systems. Closes Issue 56:
https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56
* Add Irix support, based on a patch by abcde@canavan.de. Closes Issue 29:
https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29
* Rework abcde-musicbrainz-tool to work with WebService::MusicBrainz 1.x
Thanks to Nicolas Guillaumin for the patch. Closes Issue 60:
https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60
Also added a specific dependency on version 1.0.4 or newer, so
abcde-musicbrainz-tool will abort if the version found is too old.
Since tweaked to deal with multi-artist albums and tracks more
completely.
* Add resume support in do_getalbumart()
* Fix getopts setup for "P". Thanks to Alan W. Kerr for reporting this.
* Major set of code cleanups to fix up lots of warnings found with
shellcheck, and a few other style issues:
+ Lots of quoting fixes
+ Use $( instead of `
+ Stop using -o and -a syntax with if [ - use || or && instead
+ Wrap and shorten some very long lines
* Wrap some output messages so they fit on a standard width console
* Factor out repeated code and make page() more useful
* Add version check before resuming from an old ripping run
version 1.30 - Sergey Poznyakoff, 2017-12-17
* Member names containing '..' components are now skipped when extracting.
This fixes tar's behavior to match its documentation, and is a bit
safer when extracting untrusted archives over old files (an unsafe
practice that the tar manual has long recommended against).
* Report erroneous use of position-sensitive options.
During archive creation or update, tar keeps track of positional
options (see the manual, subsection 3.4.4 "Position-Sensitive
Options"), and reports those that had no effect. For example, when
invoked as
tar -cf a.tar . --exclude '*.o'
tar will create the archive, but will exit with status 2, having
issued the following error message
tar: The following options were used after non-optional
arguments in archive create or update mode. These options are
positional and affect only arguments that follow them. Please,
rearrange them properly.
tar: --exclude '*.o' has no effect
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
* --numeric-owner now affects private headers too.
This helps the output of 'tar' to be more deterministic.
* Fixed the --delay-directory-restore option
In some cases tar would restore the directory permissions too early,
causing subsequent link extractions in that directory to fail.
* The --warnings=failed-read option
This new warning control option suppresses warning messages about
unreadable files and directories. It has effect only if used together
with the --ignore-failed-read option.
* The --warnings=none option now suppresses all warnings
This includes warnings about unreadable files produced when
--ignore-failed-read is in effect. To output these, use
--warnings=none --warnings=no-failed-read.
* Fix reporting of hardlink mismatches during compare
Tar reported incorrect target file name in the 'Not linked to'
diagnostic message.
The Translate Toolkit is a set of software and documentation designed to
help make the lives of localizers both more productive and less
frustrating. The Toolkit is part of the Translate project.
The software includes programs to covert localization formats to the
common PO, and emerging XLIFF format. There are also programs to check
and manage PO and XLIFF files. Online documentation includes guides on
using the tools, running a localization project and how to localize
various projects from OpenOffice.org to Mozilla.
At its core the software contains a set of classes for handling various
localization storage formats: DTD, properties, OpenOffice.org GSI/SDF,
CSV, MO, Qt .ts, TMX, TBX, WordFast txt, Gettext .mo, Windows RC, and of
course PO and XLIFF. It also provides scripts to convert between these
formats.
Also part of the Toolkit are Python programs to create word counts, merge
translations and perform various checks on translation files.

#4659: panic: bug: removed more than added
#4680: Ignore pattern beginning with "#" does not match subpaths
#4689: Ignore patterns in web UI aren't reloaded if only comments change
#4701: Global is different from local state when ignoring files
Other issues:
#4687: basicfs_watch_tests are flaky
#4737: Remove KCP
Data::Password::passwdqc provides an object oriented Perl interface
to Openwall Project's passwdqc. It allows you to check password
strength and also lets you generate quality controllable random
password.
Taint::Util wraps perl's internal routines for checking and setting
the taint flag and thus does not rely on regular expressions for
untainting or odd tricks involving eval and kill for checking
whether data is tainted, instead it checks and flips a flag on the
scalar in-place.
1.302130 2018-03-07 08:07:54-08:00 America/Los_Angeles
- No changes since last trial
1.302129 2018-03-06 13:43:22-08:00 America/Los_Angeles (TRIAL RELEASE)
- Make hubs tag events with a new facet
0.056 2018-03-07 T. R. Wyant
Support removal of unescaped literal left curlys after left parens,
which was deprecated in 5.27.8. No actual change in output yet,
since deprecation is not tracked, but the perl_version_removed()
logic is there.
Add next_element() and kin. These are analogous to next_sibling()
and kin, but will cross over from content proper into structure
(beginning and end delimiters, etc) and vice versa.
Correct requirements_for_perl() for impossible regular expression.
It now returns '! $]' when the components of the regexp are valid, but
none are valid under any specific version of Perl. It used to think all
Perls were OK when this happened.
Add the alpha_assertions introduced in 5.27.9.
Handle 5.27.9's change from +script_run to *script_run, and support
*sr as a synonym.
- v0.4.2 Thu Mar 8 15:53:35 CST 2018
Modify git tests to be language-agnostic
(hack regex rather than try to set the LC to
C so that folks can read the test results).
- v0.4.1 Thu Mar 8 15:00:08 CST 2018
Cleaned up packaging in the git tests.
Non-URL git tests should now be portable.
Still figuring out reliable way to test the URL handling
(e.g., without a network). Any fix I can think of won't
be portable to Windows due to lack of filesystem sockets.
- v0.4.0
Allows defining arguments for tball & url, takes first one
that works.
POD for PREOP in Makefile.PL for auto-generating repo tarball.
Git still needs testing, especially on Windows.
Interface shouldn't change much at this point, main issue will
be making the url-clone approach work and validating all of
the ways that tarballs can fail.
- v0.3.1
Test cleanups (mainly botched check for existing git executable).
Start adding extract git from tarball of .git or url.
- v0.3.0 Wed Mar 7 21:52:37 CST 2018
POD & tests for Git, enough hacks on the Git module
that it works with the tests (Caveat Emptor).
Fix bug of $ENV{ PERL_VERSION } not being parsed and
numified.
Minor clenaups.
Make consistent use of extractor's "value" method
rater than looking directly into the hash.
Extract::value rejects false keys (used to be only
undefined).
Bump the module versions up a notch to 0.1.0 since
the tests pass and it all seems to do something
at this point.
- v0.2.0 Tue Mar 6 19:18:15 CST 2018
POD
Bump version.
