Description:
This update for perl-YAML-Syck fixes the following issues:
updated to 1.450.0 (1.45) see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-YAML-Syck/Changes
* 1.45 Apr 23 2026
[Bug Fixes]
- Fix: use syck_base64_free() to fix Windows "Free to wrong pool" crash
in base64 encode/decode buffers; also plugs a memory leak (PR #189)
- Fix: clear type tag on blessed scalar alias early-return so the stale
tag no longer leaks onto the next emitted item (GH #193, PR #194)
- Fix: negative float#base60 values produce wrong results; strip sign
before accumulating and avoid negative zero for portable
stringification (PR #191)
- Fix: prevent memory leaks when Load/LoadJSON croak on parse errors
(PR #192)
[Maintenance]
- Test: add coverage for SortKeys and JSON MaxDepth (PR #188)
- Test: add error handling coverage for LoadFile/DumpFile (PR #190)
- Update README
