Feel free to remove devel/gdbada now.
Any modern gdb will handle it, you don't need a special gdb for this

+ Chg : perl 5.6.1 is required.
+ Fix : context_info() now ignores %warnings::Bits for perl 5.8.6 and
below, just like caller().
+ Fix : [RT #82220] : Scope-Upper-0.21 test stuck on Windows perl 5.12.3
t/93-pod-spelling.t will not crash anymore on perl 5.12 and
below.
Thanks Gabor Szabo for reporting and Slaven Rezic for debugging
this issue.
+ Tst : Rare test failures of t/07-context_info.t on perl 5.6,
t/55-yield-target.t on perl 5.[68], and t/63-uplevel-ctl.t on
perl 5.8.[345] have been addressed.
0.21 2012-09-21 15:10 UTC
+ Fix : context_info() has been taught about perl 5.17.4.
+ Fix : t/07-context_info.t will no longer fail with perls that have
sitecustomize enabled (like many perl builds for Windows).
Thanks Steve Hay and Nicholas Clark for debugging help.
+ Fix : Broken linkage on Windows with gcc 3.4, which appears in
particular when using ActivePerl's default compiler suite.
For those setups, the Scope::Upper shared library will now be
linked against the perl dll directly (instead of the import
library).
0.20 2012-09-17 11:00 UTC
+ Add : The new yield(@values, $context) function can be used to return
values to any upper scope, including do or map blocks.
The new leave(@values) function is an alias for
yield(@values, HERE).
+ Add : The new context_info($context) function return information
about context $context, similarly to what caller() provides
but for any upper scope.
+ Chg : Contexts are now normalized. In previous versions, it was
possible for different contexts to refer to the same scope :
for example, "for (my $i = 0; $i < 10; ++$i) { ... }" was
reachable through two contexts, while "for (@array) { ... }"
only by one. Starting from this version, contexts are
normalized so that they always represent an actual scope.
+ Doc : C++ compilers are officially NOT supported.
+ Fix : Building with a more recent version of perl 5.17.4.
+ Fix : Debugger compatibility with perl 5.17.1 and above.
0.19 2012-09-01 13:25 UTC
+ Doc : POD headings have been made linkable.
+ Fix : Building with perl 5.17.4.
+ Fix : BUILD_PREREQS are now set for ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
+ Opt : uplevel() private data structure is 7% smaller on 64 bits
architectures.
+ Tst : Author tests overhaul.
* Update buildlink3.mk.

NEWS for Mercury 13.05.1
------------------------
Changes to the Mercury standard library:
* We have added the function bimap.count/1.
NEWS for Mercury 13.05
----------------------
Changes to the Mercury standard library:
* We have swapped the argument order of the predicates set.singleton_set/2,
set_bbbtree.singleton_set/2, set_ordlist.singleton_set/2 and
set_unordlist.singleton_set/2 so that it conforms with the order in the
other set modules.
* All the modules that operate on sets now have two new predicates.
One is insert_new: if the item is not already in the set, it inserts
the item, otherwise it fails. The other is all_true: it succeeds if
and only if all elements in the set pass a test.
* The map and varset modules each have a new predicate that deletes
a sorted list of items from a map or varset, and can do so faster than
usual by exploiting the order.
* The map, bimap and tree234 modules each have a new predicate that does
a search, and if the search is unsuccessful, does an insertion during
the *same* traversal.
* The argument order of the following predicates has been changed so as to
make them more conducive to the use of state variable notation:
pqueue.insert/4, pqueue.remove/4, stack.push/3, stack.push_list/3,
stack.pop/3 and stack.det_pop/3.
* We have added versions of the operations in the math module that omit the
domain checks.
* We have added new predicates to the parsing_utils module:
input_string/3, get_skip_whitespace_pred/2 and next_char_no_progress/4.
* The lexer module returns base 10 integer literals in the string
representation, if the integer is too large for an `int'.
* We have add the following new predicates to the list module:
list.all_true_corresponding/3, list.all_false_corresponding/3 and
list.same_length3/3.
* We have added the type maybe.maybe_error/2 which is polymorphic in the
error type.
* We have added predicates to the calendar module for folding over the days
in a given range of dates: foldl_days/5, foldl2_days/7 and foldl3_days/9.
* We have added two functions to both the hash_table and version_hash_table
modules: copy/1 and from_assoc_list/4.
Changes to the Mercury compiler:
* Generation of 64-bit code on Windows using the MinGW64 port of GCC
is now supported, i.e. the x86_64-w64-mingw32 architecture is now
supported.
* We have improved compilation times for very large programs. In
particular, compilation times for predicates containing the following
have been improved:
- large ground terms
- large disjunctions
- large numbers of higher order constructs and/or code that uses
large hierarchies of type classes
* We have implemented a type representation optimisation, where a functor
with exactly one argument can be represented by a tagged pointer to the
argument value, which itself does not require the tag bits.
* In C grades, consecutive enumeration arguments in discriminated
union types can now be packed into a single word.
* Double-precision `float' constructor arguments are now stored in
unboxed form in high-level C grades.
* Double-precision `float' constructor arguments are now stored in
unboxed form on 32-bit architectures in the low-level C grades.
This was previously so for 64-bit architectures.
* Double-precision float arguments can now be passed via dedicated Mercury
abstract machine registers to avoid boxing, in low-level C grades on
32-bit architectures. Float variables can occupy two words on the
Mercury stack to avoid boxing.
* The option `--warn-non-tail-recursion' no longer requires
`--high-level-code'.
* A new option, `--sign-assembly', provides supports for signing
assemblies generated by the C# backend with a strong name.
* A new option, `--cstack-reserve-size', allows the size of the C
stack for executables to be changed on Microsoft Windows systems.
Changes to the Mercury debugger:
* We have added new capabilities to the "level", "retry" and "finish" mdb
commands. If these commands are given the argument "clentry", they will
operate on the ancestor of the current call that represents entry to the
clique of mutually recursive procedures that the current call belongs to.
If they are given the argument "clparent", they will operate on the parent
of that call.
* The mdb command "stack" can now find and mark cliques of mutually recursive
calls on the stack, and can (and by default, will) impose a limit on the
number of lines it prints for each clique.
Changes to the extras distribution:
* We have added a binding to the GLFW library.
NEWS for Mercury 11.07.2, 3 August 2012
---------------------------------------
This is a bug-fix release: it fixes the following:
* The name of the C# compiler in newer versions of Mono is now recognised.
* The configure script now distinguishes between the MS C# compiler and the
Chicken Scheme compiler.
* Thread local storage now works on Mac OS X when using clang as the C
compiler.
* Various build issues on Solaris 10 have been resolved.
* The --erlang option now sets all the relevant grade components correctly.
* The binary input and output streams are now set to binary translation
mode when using the MSVC CRT.
* The standard library's lexer module now correctly tokenizes binary, octal
and hexadecimal integer literals.
* Some bugs in the UTF-8 routines used by the C grades have been fixed.
Also, the performance of these routines has been improved.
* The exit status is now correctly set when --warn-non-tail-recursion
is being used.
Changes to the Mercury standard library:
* We have added additional modes to map.foldr/4, map.foldr/6 and the
list.foldl<N>_corresponding3 predicates.
* The predicates parsing_utils.float_literal/3 and
parsing_utils.float_literal_as_string/4 now accept an optional plus sign in
the exponent.
* The obsolete predicates string.remove_suffix_det/2 and string.index_det/2
have been removed.
* The predicate time.times/4 is now implemented for the csharp grade.
* The version_hash_table module is now supported in the csharp and java
grades.
* The unsafe versions of the predicates in the array2d module are now more
efficient.
Changes to the Mercury compiler:
* The compiler now outputs #line directives in C# code it generates.
NEWS for Mercury 11.07.1, 2 March 2012
--------------------------------------
This is a bug-fix release. It fixes a problem that was preventing the standard
library from building in the csharp grade on Cygwin and also adds support for
using GCC in C99 (or GNU99) mode with Mercury. In addition, there are a number
of minor changes to the standard library.
Changes to the Mercury standard library:
* We have added the predicate map.keys_and_values/3.
* We have added the predicates set.is_singleton/2, set_bbbtree.is_singleton/2,
set_ctree234.is_singleton/2 and set_unordlist.is_singleton/2.
* We have added the function list.foldl_corresponding/4.
changes in sbcl-1.1.8 relative to sbcl-1.1.7:
* notice: The implementation of MAP-ALLOCATED-OBJECTS (the heart of
ROOM, plus a few SB-INTROSPECT functions) has been completely
rewritten; it may now exhibit different bugs than before.
* new feature: minimal runtime/compiler intrastructure support for SSE
SIMD values, as SB-EXT:SIMD-PACK. Enabled on x86-64 via the build-time
feature :sb-simd-pack. This should enable intrinsics extensions as
libraries, without patching SBCL itself. Thanks to Alexander Gavrilov
for maintaining a branch for so long.
* enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM supports a :DIRECTORY argument to set
the working directory of the spawned process.
(lp#791800) (patch by Matthias Benkard)
* enhancement: boxed vectors (vectors of T or of FIXNUM) can now be
stack-allocated on PPC.
* enhancement: "fixed objects" can now be stack-allocated on PPC.
* enhancement: WITH-PINNED-OBJECTS no longer conses on PPC/GENCGC.
* enhancement: (sb-introspect:find-definition-sources-by-name x :vop) now
also returns VOPs which do not translate any functions, and finds
defoptimizer types ir2convert and stack-allocate-result.
* enhancement: better type derivation for APPEND, NCONC, LIST.
(lp#538957)
* enhancement: MAP-ALLOCATED-OBJECTS (the heart of ROOM) now walks the
heap in a manner similar to the GC rather than its previous ad-hoc
scheme, and is therefore no less and possibly more accurate.
* fixes and enhancements related to Unicode:
** the character database information has been updated to Unicode 6.2;
** support for canonical and compatibility decomposition of characters has
been added, along with support for primary composition;
** support for Unicode normalization forms of strings (NFC, NFKC, NFD and
NFKD) has been included;
** querying the character database for code points not defined by Unicode
gives less wrong answers (lp#1178038, reported by Ken Harris)
* enhancement: print intermediate evaluation results for some ASSERTed
expressions. (lp#789497) (patch by Alexandra Barchunova)
* enhancement: x86-64 disassemblies are annotated with unboxed constant
values when there are references to (RIP-relative) unboxed constants.
* bug fix: type derivation for LOG{AND,IOR,XOR} scales linearly instead
of quadratically with the size of the input in the worst case.
(lp#1096444)
* bug fix: handle errors when initializing *default-pathname-defaults*,
sb-ext:*runtime-pathname*, sb-ext:*posix-argv* on startup, like character
decoding errors, or directories being deleted.
* bug fix: Loading a core with a discontiguous dynamic space now correctly
computes the amount of dynamic space used.
* bug fix: disassembler missing ",8" on SHLD
* bug fix: backtracing through INTERNAL-ERROR signal handlers on systems
that provide an "invalid" stack frame link for the signal handler
itself now use the saved-fp-and-pc mechanism to pick up from the stack
frame in the interrupt (signal) context. This is known to affect
threaded FreeBSD/x86-64.
* bug fix: some LOOP statements couldn't be compiled.
(lp#1178989)
* bug fix: sb-sequence:dosequence works on literal vectors.
* bug fix: errors in generic arithmetic show the assembly routine's
caller on x86 and x86-64. (lp#800343)
* bug fix: Compile-time type errors should never result in COMPILE-FILE
failure. (lp#943953)
* bug fix: Known bad local calls do not cause strange failures when
emitting or dumping code. (lp#504121)
* bug fix: Multiply-inlined structure constructor don't cause IR2-time
codegen errors: type checks are inserted as necessary. (lp#1177703)
* bug fix: Unsigned modular arithmetic is correctly converted into signed
modular arithemtic (mostly to exploit fixnum-width VOPs). (lp#1026634)
* bug fix: a combination of inlined local function with &optional and
recursion no longer causes undescriptive compiler errors. (lp#1180992)
* bug fix: sub-word BOOLEAN alien types now disregard higher order bits
when testing for non-zero-ness.
* bug fix: (CONCATENATE 'null ...) no longer fails for generic sequences.
(lp#1162301)
* bug fix: Type mismatch for the value of conditional expressions are
correctly reported when detected at compile-time, instead of complaining
about a constant NIL (similar for non-EQ-comparable catch tags).
* bug fix: Referring to INLINE global functions as values should not result
in a compilation failure. (lp#1035721)
* optimization: faster ISQRT on fixnums and small bignums
* optimization: faster and smaller INTEGER-LENGTH on fixnums on x86-64.
* optimization: On x86-64, the number of multi-byte NOP instructions used
for code alignment is now always minimal.
* optimization: On 64-bit targets, the compiler generates much faster
code for type checks for types known at compile time that are smaller
than (SIGNED-BYTE 64) or (UNSIGNED-BYTE 64) and larger than FIXNUM, and
their COMPLEX variants.
* optimization: On x86 targets, more uses of ALIEN-FUNCALL during cross
compilation now inline the INVOKE-WITH-SAVED-FP-AND-PC dance.
* optimization: ROOM no longer conses so egregiously on non-x86oid
systems.
* optimization: associative bitwise operations reassociate patterns like
(f (f x k1) k2) to expose (f x (f k1 k2)). Same for + and * of
rational values.
* optimization: quasiquote expressions now perform more constant folding,
instead of consing equal lists at runtime. (lp#1026439)
* optimization: local call analysis of inlined higher-order function
should converge more quickly, resulting in better code for complex
functions.
* optimization: On x86-64, medium (word-sized but wider than 32 bits)
integer constants are handled more cleverly, especially when they
can be represented as sign-extended (signed-byte 32). (Based on a
patch by Douglas Katzman)
* optimization: IF/IF conversion should reliably result in sane code
when (some of) the results of the inner IF are always false or
always true.
* optimization: On x86oids, variable right shifts of machine words are
compiled into straight SAR/SHR, instead of going through the generic
VOP. (lp#1066204)
changes in sbcl-1.1.7 relative to sbcl-1.1.6:
* enhancement: TRACE :PRINT-ALL handles multiple-valued forms.
(lp#457053)
* bug fix: :allocation slot option works for condition slots
(lp#1049404)
* bug fix: redefining conditions does not lead to multiple evaluations of
hairy slot initfunctions anymore (lp#1164969)
* bug fix: CLASS-DIRECT-DEFAULT-INITARGS now works for condition classes
(lp#1164970)
* bug fix: function constants now work as initforms and default initarg
values of conditions (lp#539517)
* bug fix: svref/(setf svref) on symbol macros don't crash the compiler
anymore. (Minimal test case provided by James M. Lawrence on sbcl-devel)
* bug fix: no more bogus ## references when pretty printing backquoted
forms with non-trivial structure sharing. (lp#1161218)
* bug fix: Don't signal an error on (setf (documentation nil 'function)
"doc"). Signal a style-warning instead when trying to set documentation
of NIL for all other documentation types. (Reported by Zach
Beane; regression since 2e52fa05.)
* bug fix: modular arithmetic involving large constants and conditionals
should no longer result in spurious dead code elimination. (Reported by
Eric Marsden).
* bug fix: our mach exception handler can seemingly called very early in
the program execution process on OS X 10.8.0. Try and handle that case
robustly, without potentially leaking mach ports too much.
* optimization: LOGBITP and LOGTEST optimizations from x86 ported to x86_64.
changes in sbcl-1.1.6 relative to sbcl-1.1.5:
* enhancement: the continuable error when defknown-ing over extant
fndb entries can be ignored by passing :overwrite-fndb-silently t
as a keyword argument to sb-c:defknown (after attributes). Useful
to allow defknown to be re-loaded. Use with :allow-other-keys t
for backward compatibility.
* optimization: compiler is much faster in compiling SVREF and (SETF SVREF)
forms.
* bug fix: Prevent a make-array transform from modifying source forms
causing problems for inlined code. Thanks to Bart Botta.
(regression since 1.0.42.11-bis)
* bug fix: clear-output calls the correct gray stream routine,
sb-gray:stream-clear-output. (lp#1153257)
* bug fix: an error is signalled for an invalid format modifier: ~<~@>.
(lp#1153148)
* bug fix: Better error messages for package operations (lp#1154776)
* bug fix: delete-package on a nonexistent package should signal a cerror.
(regression since 1.0.37.44).
* bug fix: accessing &MORE (stack allocated &REST) arguments checks bounds.
(lp#1154946, lp#1072112)
* bug fix: compiling make-array no longer signals an error when the
element-type is an uknown type, a warning is issued instead.
Thanks to James Kalenius (lp#1156095)
* bug fix: SEARCH on generic (non-VECTOR non-LIST) sequence types no longer
produces wrong results for some inputs. (Thanks to Jan Moringen.)
(lp#1153312)
changes in sbcl-1.1.5 relative to sbcl-1.1.4:
* minor incompatible change: SB-SPROF:WITH-PROFILING no longer loops
by default.
* new feature: package local nicknames. See manual for details.
* new feature: SB-EXT:MAP-DIRECTORY provides a powerful interface for
directory traversal: it is the backend used by SBCL for CL:DIRECTORY.
* enhancement: easier to use restarts for resolving name-conflicts
resulting from IMPORT, EXPORT, or USE-PACKAGE.
* enhancement: variant DEFPACKAGE forms now signal a full error with
restarts provided for resolving the situation. (lp#891351)
* enhancement: by setting SB-EXT:*ON-PACKAGE-VARIANCE* appropriately variant
DEFPACKAGE forms can now signal a full error with restarts provided for
resolving the situation. See manual for details. (lp#891351)
* enhancement: make-random-state now uses CryptGenRandom as a seed on Windows.
(Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.) (lp#1102748)
* enhancement: backtrace improvements
** secondary CLOS dispatch functions have better debug names (lp#503081)
** easier to read method names in backtraces. See
SB-DEBUG:*METHOD-FRAME-STYLE*.
** SB-DEBUG:PRINT-BACKTRACE and SB-DEBUG:LIST-BACKTRACE are available as
forwards-compatible replacements for SB-DEBUG:BACKTRACE and
SB-DEBUG:BACKTRACE-AS-LIST.
** SB-DEBUG:*SHOW-ENTRY-POINT-DETAILS** has been deprecated, as the same
information is available in less intrusive form as frame annotations.
* enhancement: SB-POSIX now provides MAP-ANON.
* enhancement: test-suite results are colorized, failures in red, unexpected
success in green. Works on Windows and on terminals with ANSI escape code
support. Can be disabled with --no-color.
* optimization: SB-CONCURRENCY:QUEUE implementation is more efficient.
(thanks to James M. Lawrence)
* bug fix: no more unused variable style warnings from RESTART-CASE
macroexpansion (lp#1113859)
* bug fix: no more unused variable style warnings when loading
sb-bsd-sockets.asd (lp#1114681)
* bug fix: deleting a package removes it from implementation-package
lists of other packages.
* bug fix: SB-SPROF:WITH-PROFILING is now usable in the Slime REPL on Darwin.
This does not fix the occasional "interrupt already pending" issue, though.
* bug fix: (setf (documentation 'x 'function)) and
(setf (documentation #'x t)) set documentation in different places.
(regression since 1.0.43.63)
* bug fix: build on newer glibc. (lp#1095036)
changes in sbcl-1.1.4 relative to sbcl-1.1.3:
* optimization: LOOP expressions using "of-type character" have slightly
more efficient expansions.
* bug fix: very long (or infinite) constant lists in DOLIST do not result
in very long compile times or heap exhaustion anymore. (lp#1095488)
* bug fix: `#3(1) is read as #(1 1 1), not as #(1). (lp#1095918)
* bug fix: adjust-array ignored :initial-element for simple-vectors.
(lp#1096359)
* bug fix: optimizations to MAKE-INSTANCE with literal list initargs no
longer cause infinite loops (on circular data) or violate eqlity
constraints. (lp#1099708)
* bug fix: FIRST was not being open coded. (regression from 1.1.0)
changes in sbcl-1.1.3 relative to sbcl-1.1.2:
* enhancement: warnings about bad locale settings, LANG, LC_CTYPE, etc.
(lp#727625)
* enhancement: support for C-c to interrupt the foreground thread
on Windows. (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
* enhancement: STDCALL alien callbacks. (Thanks to Anton Kovalenko.)
* enhancement: Safepoint builds on POSIX platforms can now optionally be
built without pseudo-atomic sequences and their run-time overhead.

alien callbacks and appear as Lisp threads for the duration of that
function invocation. On safepoint builds only.
* enhancement: Miscellaneous improvements to namestrings and underlying
calls to OS functions for file system access on Windows. (Thanks to
Anton Kovalenko.)
* enhancement: The MSI installer support for Windows now uses Windows
Installer XML at least version 3.5 and includes various usability
improvements. (Thanks to Dmitry Kalyanov and Anton Kovalenko.)

SoShaderProgram, SoShaderParameter
- shadow generation: SoShadowGroup, SoShadowCulling, SoShadowStyle
- new camera node SoFrustumCamera
- new node SoTextureCubeMap
- a lot of new SbVec and SbBox classes
- a lot of new field classes (mostly Vec and Box fields)
- implemented stubbed SoSimplifyAction,
added SoGlobalSimplifyAction and SoShapeSimplifyAction as stub classes
- SoReorganizeAction improvements
- SoFile:: setSearchOK(), getSearchOK()
- SoGLRenderAction::setSortedObjectOrderStrategy()
- SbTypeInfo.h template type information library
* bugfixes:
- GlobalField cleanup bugfix
- SoFaceDetail faceIndex bugfix
* optimizations:
- more rendering optimized with VBOs
- display list caching tweaks
* build system
- initial pkg-config support
- Visual Studio: build .pdb for release builds, tweaked optimization options
- Visual Studio: doc-generation project
New in Coin v2.4.6 (2007-04-03):
* new:
- implemented SbViewVolume::getAlignRotation()
- added support in SoToVRML2Action for SoUnits and SoVRMLTransform
* optimizations:
- fixed pathlist traversals, affecting most notably rendering w/transparency
DELAYED_BLEND/ADD mode
- added lazy shapehints evaluation to VRML97 rendering
- avoid probing glGetError() much (unless specified) since it kills
performance in certain remote rendering situations
- some optimizations in the reading of ascii vrml/iv files
* bugfixes:
- SoVRMLBillboard axis-of-rotation bugfix
- global field and SoUnknownNode I/O fixes
- SbDPMatrix::multVecMatrix(SbVec4f) bugfix
- implemented missing notification-filtering in SoSwitch/SoVRMLSwitch
- plugged more memory leaks
- set same default depth function as SGI Inventor
- VRML97 TimeSensor bugfix
- VRML97 Billboard bugfixes
- SoGroup offpath traversal bugfix
- fixed AMD64 warning issues
* other
- many Visual Studio build files improvements
- remove the Inventor/system/gl.h configure-run dependency
New in Coin v2.4.5 (2006-04-30): The Better-Than-Doing-Tax-Returns Release
* bugfixes:
- fixed 2D font "_" character
- minor axis MIDDLE (i.e. center) justification for VRML97's
FontStyle and Text nodes did previously not work as expected
- policy change on normalizing null-vector warning
- improved Inventor V1.0 import
- improved cleanup code (plugged many static one-off leaks)
- fixes for nurbs, VRML97 protos, routes...
- and a multitude of other bugfixes (see docs/ChangeLog.v2.4.5)
* optimizations:
- internal changes wrt use of vertex arrays and vertex buffer objects
* build fixes:
- upgraded to new version of libtool
- universal binaries support for Mac OS X
- misc TGS compatibility fixes
- added project files for Visual Studio 8 (2005)
