Hi everyone, As we are approaching our latest stable stable release updates (5.24.2 and 5.22.4), we intended to resolve base.pm. Here is our update on this. We originally had a more aggressive patch to base.pm, but with the suggestion of Michael Schroeder, Aristotle had started work on an alternative, more accurate patch. This work is available in the following branch: ap/baseincguard (Aristotle has hit a snag in an edge case he could explain better than I, and is happy to receive any assistance on resolving it.) As this patch is still superior to our more canvas approach originally intended, we will be merging it instead. If anyone has any suggestions or comments, this is a good time. I must, however, assure you that "Not patching at all" will not be regarded as a possible action-plan, no matter how long and exhausting the email content might be, as security is taking precedence here, and this has been clarified several times before. :) Thank you, Sawyer.Thread Next
