The namespace::clean pragma removes all previously declared or imported
symbols at the end of the current packages compile cycle. Functions
called in the package itself will still be bound by their name, but they
won't show up as methods on the class or its instances.
Moose is wonderful but unfortunately, a little slow. Though significant
progress has been made over the years, the compile time penalty is a
non-starter for some applications.
Mouse aims to alleviate this by providing a subset of Moose's
functionality, faster. In particular, "has" in Moose is missing only a
few expert-level features.
Method modifiers are a powerful feature from the CLOS (Common Lisp
Object System) world.
Class::Method::Modifiers provides three modifiers: before, around, and
after. before and after are run just before and after the method they
modify, but can not really affect that original method. around is run
in place of the original method, with a hook to easily call that
original method.
Data::Alias is a module that allows you to apply "aliasing semantics" to
a section of code, causing aliases to be made whereever Perl would
normally make copies instead. You can use this to improve efficiency
and readability, when compared to using references.
This module will provide a coherent API to bring together the various
JSON modules currently on CPAN. This module will allow you to code to
any JSON API and have it work regardless of which JSON module is
actually installed.
Other JSON modules require setting several parameters before calling the
conversion methods to do what the author wants. This module does things
by default that the author thinks should be done when working with JSON
in Perl. This module also encodes and decodes faster than JSON.pm and
JSON::Syck in the benchmarks.
last one in the pipe to make sure failed regression tests don't bake a
cookie when REGRESS_LOG is set (default).
Also redirect stderr to regress log and introduce REGRESS_STATUS_IGNORE
variable so post-regress targets like found in cpan.port.mk can do the
actual failure detection.

- recognize all available audio devices
- the audio device is always opened read-write. this results in
full-duplex operation for most OSS implementations, but full-dupplex
needs to be explicitly enabled on OpenBSD.
- don't error out if SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED returns an error. instead
resample based on the returned sample rate.
- the resampling factor was not properly initilized and was returning
random values.
- simply skip samples to down-sample. the average method it uses
sounds horrible.

This release contains some security fixes, notably a DoS via
corrupted Ogg files (CVS-2008-3231), some related fixes, and
fixes for a few possible buffer overflows.

- since version 3, ff uses standard printing dialog from gtk+2. in
order to continue using cups for printing, you will need to install
cups subpackage of gtk+2. after an email from Giovanni Bechis
- ff3 may not render scaled images properly due to incompatibilities
between some of the x drivers and x server (this has been fixed in
the new xserver). document work-arounds for now. after an email
from Markus Bergkvist
The accessors pragma lets you create simple accessors at compile-time.
This saves you from writing them by hand, which tends to result in
cut-n-paste errors and a mess of duplicated code. It can also help you
reduce the ammount of unwanted direct-variable access that may creep
into your codebase when you're feeling lazy. accessors was designed with
laziness in mind.
