- Created 5 Pull requests:
- Test::Base Support the use of plain `use Test::Base` without any tests. (Merged) Fixes a Test::YAML/Test::Base problem with CPAN::Reporter, reported by Slaven Rezic
- 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
- YAML.pm Remove dead code ($class is never set here)
- Started to make an overview of how numbers are serialized with all existing perl JSON/YAML processors
Fri 2018-04-20
- Still working on the number+JSON+YAML overview: https://gist.github.com/perlpunk/35a07521b07aeea5a6c23a7d068233e7
- Added a Haskell YAML processor to the YAML Test Matrix which is written on top of the YAML reference parser, so we can spot mistakes in the Spec more easily

- YAML::PP now supports Inf and NaN (not yet on CPAN)
Sat 2018-04-21
- Found some other issues with YAML.pm
- Working on YAML::LoadBlessed
- Loading !!perl/glob objects actually allows setting any package variable, so this is also a reason to not load untrusted YAML with YAML.pm, as long as there is no possibility to disable it.
- Sat together with Kenichi and Joel and discussed booleans. Created a first draft of bool.pm on github.
