  - [ken] - Add comments in perl modules Net::SSLeay and IO::Socket::SSL. I was on an 8.3 system where openssl was still 1.1.0, with the N::S patch the I::S::S tests burned CPU in the same way as with 1.1.1. Noted while working on #11596.

  - [pierre] - Libpwquality needs a configure switch to use Python 3. Add and document it.

  - [ken] - Update to firefox-65.0. Now supports webp. Fixes #11597. Contains several security fixes.

  - [pierre] - Move Python 2 to optional in tracker: it is only needed for the "functional" tests.

- January 27th, 2019

  - [renodr] - Update to Thunar-1.8.4. Fixes #11595.

  - [pierre] - Usbutils does not need Python 2 anymore.

  - [bdubbs] - Update to whois-5.4.1. Fixes #11593.

  - [bdubbs] - Update to libcdio-paranoia-10.2+2.0.0 (a part of libcdio). Fixes #11594.

  - [pierre] - Poppler needs Python only for generating the API documentation. Make dependency on Python 2 optional, and document how to use Python 3.

  - [pierre] - Git barely needs Python, and can use Python 3 in the rare cases it is needed.

  - [pierre] - Reinstate building Rustc with Python 3.

- January 26th, 2019

  - [ken] - For rust, strongly recommend installing in /opt - this allows multiple versions to be used (fallback, testing a different config, trying a newer version) by merely (re-)running ldconfig after updating the symlink. It also prevents libraries from a previous version taking up space in /usr/lib/rustlib/ (previous /opt versions can easily be removed). Using a new prefix should also prevent the situation where changing the config.toml (e.g. from sys llvm to shipped llvm) builds fine but leaves a broken installation because cargo can no longer find the matching versions of the libraries.

  - [ken] - Tweak the details of which rust tests might fail.

  - [bdubbs] - Update the rust page providing instructions installing in /opt.

  - [bdubbs] - Update to libva-2.4.0. Fixes #11590.

  - [bdubbs] - Update to cbindgen-0.7.1. Fixes #11589.

  - [bdubbs] - Update to gnutls-3.6.6. Fixes #11588.

- January 25th, 2019

  - [pierre] - Qemu: add a switch to configure to ensure Python 3 is used for building and testing. Change the dependency accordingly. Fix command explanations.

  - [pierre] - Fix Udisks2 dependencies (dbus is needed at runtime, and is not in the dependency graph for SysV) and give instructions for the full integration tests.

  - [bdubbs] - Update to Thunar-1.8.3. Fixes #11587.

  - [bdubbs] - Update to cbindgen-0.7.0. Fixes #11586.

- January 24th, 2019

  - [bdubbs] - Update to btrfs-progs-v4.20.1. Fixes #11582.

  - [bdubbs] - Update to x265_3.0. Fixes #11584.

  - [ken] - Update to rustc-1.32.0, needed for the forthcoming firefox-65. Note that the instructions are going to be changed to install in /opt/rustc-1.XX.Y but the details of that are yet to be worked through. The intention is that people will not have to rebuild just because the book changes to using /opt. This build reverts to using the shipped LLVM because system llvm-7.0.1 is too old. This addresses #11521.

  - [pierre] - Update volume_key dependencies and instructions, to avoid using Python 2.

  - [pierre] - Update Asciidoc dependencies; Python 2 is required at runtime.

  - [renodr] - Update to NSS-3.41.1. Fixes #11583.

- January 23rd, 2019

  - [pierre] - Force NetworkManager to use Python 3.

  - [pierre] - Six is not needed for gdk-pixbuf.

  - [pierre] - Six is required for scour and will be downloaded automatically if not already installed.

  - [pierre] - Update instructions for libbytesize to allow building and testing without Python 2.

  - [ken] - Change the 'Caution' on the rustc page (about running the testsuite on AMD Ryzens) to a 'Note', the reboot problem was almost certainly kernel triple-faults on an -rc kernel, although the testsuite seemed to reliably trigger it at that time. The supposed mitigation (now removed) was clearly irrelevant, and to top it all the invalid opcodes also appear on other machines, so they too are probably deliberate.

  - [pierre] - Update dependencies for libtasn1 and GTK+3: the dependency on python-six is obsolete.

  - [renodr] - Update to dhcpcd-7.1.0. Fixes #11581.

- January 22nd, 2019

  - [renodr] - Update to gcr-3.28.1. Fixes #11563.

  - [renodr] - Add a patch to permit building qtwebengine on i686. This is due to the alignof operator being changed in GCC 8, as it returns an incorrect value on 32-bit machines.

For each, provide versioned download and md5sum, a summary of what it does, and build instructions. Updated instructions for using cpan to install modules. Fixes #11123.

    Add XML::SAX::Expat as yet another optional parser dependency for XML::Simple.

    Remove IO::Socket::INET-6 and Socket-6 from the dependencies of Net::DNS (they were dropped from that in v1.16 according to its Changes file). Fixes #11066.

    The runtime dependency for URI is HTTP::Message (which was split out of libwww-perl). Fixes #11148.

    Module::Runtime can now be built using the conventional process, although it still lists Module::Build as a prerequisite.

    Remove Package::Stash::XS from the dependencies of Package::Stash, it is not required.

    File::Copy::Recursive - all dependencies are for the testsuite, Test::Exception is not required and Test::utf8 includes a copy of Module::Install, using that requires an 'unsafe' install so delete the dependency on Module::Install.

    In libwww-perl - drop the 'Bundle' a.k.a which has not been used for v6, and demote it to a dependency because no non-perl packages directly reference it.

    I have attempted to separate the dependencies only needed when running tests, but I have assumed that people will either test a module and all of its dependencies, or not test, so that (like the build dependencies) anything pulled in by an alphabetically-previous dependency of the current module is not specifically listed.

    Updated perl dependencies as at 7th November.

    Updated to Archive-Zip-1.64. Fixes #11142.
