Shawn Boyette has taken over Curses::UI from Marcus Theissen. He tells me that "as of last night, I no longer consider the old CVS repository authoritative." There hasn't been a release since late 2004, so Shawn will be injected new life into the module. There's not yet a new public repository (I highly recommend using Google Code's services at code.google.com), and any new bugs or changes should get sent to Shawn.
Rafael Garcia Suarez announced on the Perl 5 Porters list that code freeze for Perl 5.10.0 is coming soon, with release to follow soon after.
For dual-life module maintainers, where the module is distributed as a core module in Perl, as well as a separate distribution on CPAN, make sure that your modules are in sync with the core version. A list that may not be complete of these modules includes:
- Attribute::Handlers
- CGI::Util
- Cwd
- Data::Dumper
- Exporter and Exporter::Heavy
- ExtUtils::MakeMaker and ExtUtils::MM_Unix
- several File::Spec::* modules
- IO
- IO::Socket
- Locale::Maketext
- Log::Message::Simple
- MIME::Base64
- Memoize
- Module::Build
- NEXT
- Pod::Perldoc
- Shell
- Time::Piece
- Win32
