Package: rpl Version: 1.14-2 Severity: normal I (the upstream maintainer) have released a new major version of rpl, version 2.
It’s a complete rewrite, in Vala. It’s backwards compatible, with two exceptions: the deprecated -e/--escape flag is removed, and the regex engine is PCRE2, which is largely compatible with but not the same as Python’s, or the Python “regex” library. The build system is a standard autotools build system. valac is optional (C sources are provided in the release.) In case it helps, other similar packages of mine that are already in Debian include zile and libenchant2; that is, other packages written in Vala with an autotools build system. This new version has been extensively tested, and also profiled for both speed and memory consumption. Also, some bugs have been fixed. -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers noble-updates APT policy: (500, 'noble-updates'), (500, 'noble-security'), (500, 'noble'), (100, 'noble-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.14.0-33-generic (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_WARN, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages rpl depends on: ii python3 3.12.3-0ubuntu2 ii python3-chardet 5.2.0+dfsg-1 rpl recommends no packages. rpl suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
