- YAML.pm Add support for less indented comments in block scalars
- YAML.pm Support trailing comments where this has been an error before
- YAML.pm WIP: Support ignoring trailing comments after content

Paul Johnson (pjcj)
I watched as Joel put together a queue system for cpancover. This will
eventuality allow us to generate coverage data for a modue as soon as it is
uploaded. I need to finalise some work to ensure that jobs of different types
can run together concurrently without bad things happening but I hope to have
this live soon.
I gazed in awe as Aaron navigated the perl core and came up with a solution to
allow coverage of top-level statements in modules. Now, it's true that it
doesn't /quite/ work, but it is very close to being almost there, and that's
far closer than anything I had previously be able to achieve. I will continue
to build on what Aaron has created and we'll see what happens.
I cheered as Mickey wrote code to allow metacpan to read coverage data from
cpancover and make it available via its API. This will eventually allow us to
get coverage data added to the metacpan UI.
I discussed the potential for redesigning cpancover with Babs. Actually, it
will only be designing, not redesigning, unless Babs does it twice. The hidden
agenda here is that the design will also make its way into the (new) HTML
report for Devel::Cover.
I discussed the possibility of sending coverage data as part of Test::Reporter
with Garu. This would allow coverage reports specific to perl versions and
environments and could eventually allow us to combine coverage data from runs
on disparate environments. There is a lot of potential here, and it's not the
first time this has been discussed at a PTS, but at at least the initial path
forward seems reasonably clear now.
For the last few months cpancover had not been processing new modules. My
retention policy had been to store and make available all coverage data I had
ever generated. Coverage data is usually lots of small files and I managed to
use up all the inodes on the partition I was using to store the data. I have
now implemented a retention policy where data for the last three releases is
kept available and older data is archived. So cpancover should now be
processing new releases again.
I also did lots of other bits and bobs which aren't worth individually noting,
and I also failed to do lots of things which I had unrealistically hoped to be
able to get done.
Hearty thanks to everyone who made all this work possible and sorry for
breaking for formatting convention.

Ricardo Signes (rjbs)
I wrote a big report: https://rjbs.manxome.org/rubric/entry/2112
Basically:
- fixed some PAUSE security problems
- tried to avoid some database deadlocks leading to failures
- did some refactoring to make future PAUSE work easier
- made some new DZ releases, set up ideas of future
- took part in a bunch of good conversations, more informal than formal
Doug Bell (preaction)
http://blogs.perl.org/users/preaction/2018/05/cpan-testers-at-the-perl-toolchain-summit-2018.html
- Got some new APIs done to support the Blead Perl Breaks CPAN dashboard. You can now pull summaries of test reports for all of CPAN or for individual distributions based on Perl version and/or OS name.
- Fixed a bunch of database errors and test report submission errors. There have been no invalid test report submissions in the month since the summit.
- Slightly improved the beta CPAN Testers Dashboard(http://beta.cpantesters.org/chart.html) to sort releases by date released (to make it more useful for Chad Granum (Exodist)).
- Wrote a Mojolicious app to replace the expensive CGI page that renders the individual test report text. This should improve performance and stability across the site.
