libpoe-perl (2:1.2690-1) unstable; urgency=low In version 1.020 of POE (libpoe-perl version 2:1.020), there was a split upstream of several Loop modules into their own packages. What this means is that the following modules no longer come bundled with POE but must be installed manually. * POE::Loop::Tk (available as libpoe-loop-tk-perl) * POE::Loop::Event (available as libpoe-loop-event-perl) * POE::Loop::Gtk (a candidate for removal from Debian; it needs libgtk-perl, which only exists in oldstable) It is believed that the removal of these loops will not directly impact any modules in Debian. However, if anything breaks, please contact the pkg-perl team or ask the maintainer to add the loop implementation to their dependencies explicitly. Also note that this release includes a change that breaks backward compatibility on a relatively unused feature. You are affected if you use ARG0 or ARG1 in a POE::Component::Server::TCP ClientConnected callback (for details, see RT#47855) -- Jonathan Yu Fri, 28 Aug 2009 08:14:07 -0400
