Canonical just released the latest version of Ubuntu.

I haven't tried it yet, but will when things calm down here. At the end of April and the beginning of May there are a lot of parties in the Netherlands, e.g. Queensday and Liberation Day.

The latest version of Perl, version 5.12 has been released. There are many changes and bugfixes and I would recommend you check the release notes for the whole list.

  • Implicit strictures when you use an version number greater than 5.12.0
  • The yada, yada operator
  • Y2038 compliance
  • New package naming for including the version
  • Updated to the latest Unicode standard

Gearman released the latest version, 0.13, of the gearman server and C libraries. It contains a various bug fixes.
