I've uploaded a new version of Plack-App-Prerender to #CPAN
This is a #Plack #Perl application for a pre-rendering proxy using Chrome.
This version fixes a potentially critical security issue, so if you use it, please upgrade ASAP.

I've taken over maintenance of Catalyst::View::Wkhtmltopdf, and released a new version with a security fix, among other changes.
This is a view that returns a PDF instead from a HTML template.

Note that #wkhtmltopdf is no longer maintained. This module will soon be deprecated.

Back in April the #Perl NOC turned off the #CPAN mail forwarding.

If you're like me, you've been using that for 25+ years, and it's everywhere (and unfortunately that includes spammer lists).
Here's what you can do in the meantime, via @timlegge@mas.to @cpansec@fosstodon.org

Belatedly realised that I have also used jmcnamara@cpan.org for 25+ years of open source contributions and I don’t want to change that (due to the cpan email address forwarding termination). Technically I don’t have to for GitHub style contributions but it wouldn’t work for kernel/mailing list style contributions. I am going backwards through the stages of grief on this one. #perl #cpan #perl
