Changes in 1.8.8 (since 1.8.7)
* Bugs fixed
** Fix possible buffer overruns when parsing numbers
** Fix random number generator on 64-bit platforms
Previously the `scm_c_random' function would crash or return only 32-bit
worth of randomness. In addition, the new `scm_c_random64' function
explicitly returns 64 bits of randomness.
** Add missing range checks in `vector-move-left!' and `vector-move-right!'
Previously these procedures could write past the end of a vector.
** Avoid clash with system setjmp/longjmp on IA64
** Don't dynamically link an extension that is already registered
** Fix `wrong type arg' exceptions with IPv6 addresses
** Fix typos in `(srfi srfi-19)'
** Have `(srfi srfi-35)' provide named struct vtables
** Fix C documentation extraction ("snarfing") with recent GCC versions
** Fix some Interix build problems
** Fix Tru64 build problems
** Fix GC-related build issues on Solaris 10 x86 with Sun Studio 12
** Several small documentation fixes
* Use $(CC) for LDSHARED on NetBSD and DragonFly like any other.
Fixes PR#42598 for that libpython will be linked with sufficient flags.
Bump PKGREVISION.
No standard changelog provided from upstream, some bits scattered here:
* http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/release-notes/JS_170.html
* https://developer.mozilla.org/En/SpiderMonkey/1.8
pkgsrc changes:
* Threading support (and dependency on devel/nspr) is now optional
(enabled by default). Threaded Spidermonkey may not be desirable
for e.g. server-side JavaScript usage.
* Unicode strings support optional.
* Rudimental OpenSolaris/Solaris 11 config file provided.
Release Candidate note:
Spidermonkey 1.8.0 RC1 was the last version ever released as
a standalone distribution, and is generally being used by the JavaScript
community nowaways, if needed. In the future, ripping Spidermonkey
out of the Mozilla tarball may be attempted too, to update the package
to 1.9.x.
alternative from mk/jpeg.buildlink3.mk
This allows selection of an alternative jpeg library (namely the x86 MMX,
SSE, SSE2 accelerated libjpeg-turbo) via JPEG_DEFAULT=libjpeg-turbo, and
follows the current standard model for alternatives (fam, motif, fuse etc).
The mechanical edits were applied via the following script:
#!/bin/sh
for d in */*; do
[ -d "$d" ] || continue
for i in "$d/"Makefile* "$d/"*.mk; do
case "$i" in *.orig|*"*"*) continue;; esac
out="$d/x"

if cmp -s "$i" "$out"; then
rm -f "$out"
else
echo "Edited $i"
mv -f "$i" "$i.orig" && mv "$out" "$i"
fi
done
done
Pkgsrc changes:
o Adapt PLIST to changes in the set of installed files
o Adjust one patch to match the changed source
Upstream changes:
- Core
+ Just In Time native call frame generation using LibFFI
+ PIR op find_codepoint is no longer experimental, it is now supported
+ Several public functions in libparrot have been brought up to standard
naming conventions.
+ Improved linked-list implementation in GC
+ set_addr opcode is being replaced with the new set_label opcode
in core libraries
+ Removed deprecated CodeString PMC
+ Added close, is_closed, read, readline methods to Socket
+ Added experimental MappedByteArray PMC type
+ Added Parrot_warn_experimental, to warn the user about experimental features
+ Code for frontend executables moved from src/ to frontend/
+ Support for chunked receive in LWP library.
+ Added a "quickcover" make target
- Languages
+ PIRC
- left the nest and is currently at https://github.com/parrot/pirc/
+ Community
- Our README was translated into the following languages
by Google Code-In students and mentors:
Polish README.polski
Spanish README.espanol
German README.deutsch
- Documentation
- Tests
+ Test coverage increase on PMCs: String, Integer, NameSpace,
Complex, EventHandler
+ 'make quickcover' target added to speed up most essential
parts of coverage analysis
+ 'tools/dev/headerizer.pl' refactored to improve maintainability
(no change in functionality)
- to do this, and make the result runnable on pre-thumb arm, change
upstreams assembler snippets and stubs to use "mov pc,reg" instead
of the return/call-to-thumb-friendly "bx reg", which is not available
in non-thumb-enabled arm CPUs. Whether this is the way to go, or a
seperate "armt" architecture for ocaml is needed, needs to be discussed
with upstream.
Resulting compiler, when running its selftest suite, has 6 errors less than
the same on i386. Unison compiled natively with this passes its self-test.
Boomerang is a programming language for writing lenses--well-behaved
bidirectional transformations--that operate on ad-hoc, textual data
formats. Every lens program, when read from left to right, describes
a function that maps an input to an output; when read from right
to left, the very same program describes a "backwards" function
that maps a modified output, together with the original input, back
to a modified input.
Lenses have been used to solve problems across a wide range of
areas in computing including: in data converters and synchronizers,
in parsers and pretty printers, in picklers and unpicklers, in
structure editors, in constraint maintainers for user interfaces,
in software model transformations, in schema evolution, in tools
for managing system configuration files, and in databases where
they provide updatable views.
PHP 5.2.16 Released!
The PHP development team would like to announce the immediate availability of
PHP 5.2.16. This release marks the end of support for PHP 5.2. All users of
PHP 5.2 are encouraged to upgrade to PHP 5.3.
This release focuses on addressing a regression in open_basedir implementation
introduced in 5.2.15 in addition to fixing a crash inside PDO::pgsql on data
retrieval when the server is down. All users who have upgraded to 5.2.15 and
are utilizing open_basedir are strongly encouraged to upgrade to 5.2.16 or
5.3.4.
To prepare for upgrading to PHP 5.3, now that PHP 5.2's support ended, a
migration guide available on http://php.net/migration53, details the changes
between PHP 5.2 and PHP 5.3.
For a full list of changes in PHP 5.2.16 see the ChangeLog at
http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.2.16.
ChangeLog:
Version 5.2.16
16-Dec-2010
* Fixed bug #53517 (segfault in pgsql_stmt_execute() when postgres is
down). (gyp at balabit dot hu)
* Fixed bug #53516 (Regression in open_basedir handling). (Ilia)
New in Gauche 0.9.1: Major Feature Enhancements
+ New Features
o Extended formals: Built-in lambda, define etc. can
recognize optional and keyword arguments, a la Common Lisp.
o Enhanced module mechanism: Now you can rename, choose,
or add prefix to the symbols when importing other modules.
o Efficient record types: A new module gauche.record provides
ERR5RS (srfi-99) compatible record types. It is also upper
compatible to srfi-9 records.
o More support for multithreaded applications: Thread-safe
queue is added to util.queue, and thread-pool feature is
provided by the new module control.thread-pool.
Continuations can be passed between threads.
o Partial continuations.
o Enhanced Windows support.
o New module: crypt.bcrypt: A module for Blowfish password hashing.
o New module: srfi-98: portable environment variable lookup support.
o New module: gauche.mop.propagate: Making object composition simpler.
o New module: rfc.json: JSON parsing and construction.
+ Changes
o The directory structure for Gauche installation has changed so
that we can keep binary compatibility for the extension
modules throughout 0.9.x releases.
o Now it is an error to pass a keyword argument that isn't
expected by the callee. It used to be a warning.
o Regular expression re{,M} now means the same as re{0,M},
which is compatible to Oniguruma.
+ Improvements
o The compiler and the runtime got optimized more.
The compiler now knows more about built-in procedures, and tries
compile-time constant folding and/or inlining more aggressively.
For example, sxml.ssax can parse XML document a lot faster.
o ^ can be used in place of lambda, allowing more concise code.
There's also convenience macros ^a, ^b, ... ^z and ^_ as
abbreviations of lambda (a) etc.
o ~ is added for universal accessing operator. (~ x y) is the same
as (ref x y), and (~ x y z) is the same as (ref (ref x y) z),
and so on. It can be used with generalized setter, e.g.
(set! (~ array i) x).
o define-syntax, let-syntax, and letrec-syntax are enhanced so that
they can take a general expression in rhs, as far as it yields
a syntactic transformer.
o gauche.process: I/O redirection handling in run-process becomes
more flexible.
o rfc.http module now supports https connection (unix platforms only).
Currently it relies on an external program (stunnel).
o A new procedure current-load-path allows the program to know
the file name it is being loaded from.
o A new procedure .$ is introduced as an alternative name of compose.
o Regular expressions now got read-write invariance. Some internal
regexp routines are made public, giving users an easy way
to construct and analyze regexp programatically.
o rfc.822: New procedure: rfc822-date->date.
o file.util: The procedure temporary-directory now became a parameter
so that you can switch it when necessary. The default value is taken
from (sys-tmpdir), which determines temporary directory in the
recommended way of the platform; esp., it works on Windows native
platforms. home-directory works on Windows, too.
Procedures null-device and console-device are added to make it easier
to write portable script across Unix and Windows platforms.
o util.queue: New proceduers: any-in-queue, every-in-queue.
o gauche.parseopt: When let-args encounters a command-line option
that doesn't match any spec, it now raises a condition of type
<parseopt-error> instead of <error>. The application can capture
the condition to handle invalid command-line arguments.
o gauche.uvector: New procedure uvector-size to obtain number of octets
actually to be written out when the given uvector is written out
by write-block.
o dbm: A new procedure dbm-type->class allows an application to load
appropriate dbm implementation at runtime. Utility scripts dbm/dump
and dbm/restore are provided for easier backup and migration.
o Procedure slot-pop! is added for the consistency with other
*-push!/pop! API pairs.
o When ref is used for object slot access, it can take default value
in case the slot is unbound.
o Made (set! (ref list k) value) work.
o New procedures delete-keywords, delete-keywords!, tree-map-map,
tree-map-for-each.
o unwind-protect allows multiple handlers, as in CL.
o sqrt now returns an exact number if the argument is exact and
the result can be computed exactly. Also, R6RS's exact-integer-sqrt
is added.
o gauche.parameter: Parameters can be used with generalized set!.
o The default-endian parameter is moved from binary.io module
to the core, so that this parameter controls default endian
of binary I/O in general. For example, read-block! and write-block
of the gauche.uvector module now uses the value of this parameter
as the default. A new procedure native-endian is added to retrieve
the platform's native endianness.
o More R6RS procedures: inexact, exact, real-valued?, rational-valued?,
integer-valued?, div, mod, div0, mod0.
A number of bug fixes.

Bump PKGREVISION
many thanks
New in version 1.0.45
* enhancement: ~/ and ~user/ are treated specially in pathnames.
* enhancement: ASDF has been updated to version 2.010.
* optimization: mutated closed-over variables that are only accessed
by DYNAMIC-EXTENT closures (currently only FLET and LABELS functions
declared to be DYNAMIC-EXTENT) are stored directly in their containing
stack frame, rather than allocating a VALUE-CELL (#586103).
* optimization: UNWIND-PROTECT cleanup functions are now declared
DYNAMIC-EXTENT.
Bug fixes.
New in version 1.0.44
* enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM accepts :EXTERNAL-FORMAT argument
to select the external-format for its :INPUT, :OUTPUT, AND
:ERROR :STREAMs.
* enhancement: ALLOCATION-INFORMATION also provides the page
the object resides on.
* enhancement: default dynamic-space size can be configured at
build-time without touching source, using the --dynamic-space-size
argument to make.sh.
* enhancement: DESCRIBE recognizes symbols naming optimization
policy qualities, and mentions ALWAYS-BOUND declarations.
* enhancement: ATOMIC-INCF now supports AREF of
(SIMPLE-ARRAY SB-EXT:WORD (*)) as a place.
* enhancement: ASDF has been updated to 2.009.
* enhancement: the system detects known type-erros in calls better,
signalling a full warning about violated proclaimed FTYPEs and
violations of derived FTYPEs within the same file, including self-calls.
* enhancement: new function: SB-EXT:DELETE-DIRECTORY is now provided.
* optimization: constant-folding exploits numeric and character types,
in addition member types.
* optimization: numeric, character and member types that are inhabited
by exactly one value are tested with EQL.
* optimization: more conditional branches are eliminated during IR1.
Branches are simplified before performing if/if-conversion,
and simple equivalent branches (that only read the same constant
or variable) are merged.
* improvements to the Windows port:
+ change: canonical unparsing form for pathname namestrings now
uses / as directory separator. NATIVE-NAMESTRING still uses \
as the separator.
+ bug fix: stackoverwriting due to incorrect usage of PeekConsoleInput
on Windows. (thanks to Kalyanov Dmitry)
+ bug fix: build now works on cygwin with GCC 4.x installed.
+ bug fix: run-sbcl.sh now works on Cygwin. (thanks to Kalyanov Dmitry)
Bug fixes.
New in version 1.0.43
* incompatible change: FD-STREAMS no longer participate in the
serve-event event-loop by default. (#316072)
+ In addition to streams created by explicit calls to MAKE-FD-STREAM
this affects streams from CL:OPEN.
+ Streams from SOCKET-MAKE-STREAM still participate in
serve-event by default, but this is liable to change:
applications needing serve-event for socket streams
should explicitly request it using :SERVE-EVENTS T in the call.
* enhancement: SB-EXT:WORD type is provided for use with
SB-EXT:ATOMIC-INCF &co.
* enhancement: CLOS effective method functions and defclass slot
typechecking function now have debug names for use in backtraces
and profiles.
* enhancement: ASDF has been updated to version 2.004.
* enhancement: symbols are printed using fully qualified names
in several error and warning messages which are often associated
with package conflicts or mixups (#622789, thanks to Attila Lendvai)
Bug fixes.

Changes from 3.1.7 to 3.1.8
---------------------------
1. The zero flag no longer applies to %c and %s; apparently the standards
changed at some point.
2. Updated to latest infrastructure: Autoconf 2.65, Automake 1.11.1,
libtool 2.2.6b, Bison 2.4.2.
3. Failure to open a socket is no longer a fatal error.
4. dfa.h and dfa.c are now more-or-less in sync with GNU grep, for the first
time in many years.
5. Gawk no longer includes its own copy of libsigsegv but it will use it if
installed on the build system. The --disable-libsigsegv configure option
is now gone.
6. The ' flag (%'d) is now just ignored on systems that can't support it.
7. Lots of bug fixes, see the ChangeLog.
Ficl is a complete programming language interpreter designed to be
embedded into other systems (including firmware based ones) as
a command, macro, and development prototype language.
Ficl stands for "Forth Inspired Command Language".
changes:
-added regression-test suite
-two new compiler error messages, E990 and E994
-floating-point library is now automatically included if a program NEXTs
to labels in the range 5000-5999
-misc fixes
Local pkgsrc changes are minimal: date change and checksum updates.
Upstream changes are ... many, please refer to

for pointers to the buck tracker and list of resolves issues.
natively (that is, only to byte-code).
This consists of two parts:
a) a patch to ocamldoc/Makefile to make it create the man pages using
the interpreted ocamldoc - this exists for both types of architectures,
so is safe. (This will be sent up-stream).
b) move a common shared library file to the common PLIST, and a lot of
files (natively compiled versions of the ML modules and natively compiled
versions of a few binaries) to PLIST.opt.
This has been build-tested on i386 (cross-compiled from amd64) and on
arm. unison builds and works.
"make test" shows the same amount of passed and failed tests (mostly
non-found libraries) as before; but this needs more investigation.
An additional issue to solve (with upstream) is that there's no easy way
to run the part of the test suite that would work on byte-code-only
architectures.
New in 5.11.9
Lots of changes. Mostly relevant to (semantic) web.
Also some Windows enhancements, such as better errors from sockets
and portability of extended file operations library.
New in 5.11.8
This version is exactly the same as version 5.10.2.
Mostly a bugfixing release.
New 5.11.7
Lots of stuff. The highlight is on environment issues (PlDoc, PceEmacs),
but there is a lot of other stuff as well.
If you use PlDoc, be aware that the previous release has a security issue.
New in 5.11.6
Many bug fixes and big speedup for some RDF applications (notably
those involving many graphs). The rest are mainly minor issues.
New in 5.11.5
This is a bug-fix release. This version also includes some of
the results of the ISO WG17 meeting in Edinburgh.
There is a modification to absolute_file_name/3 with regard to
directory handling.
There is -hopefully- a fix for a weird conflict around Bool when
compiling using Macports.
Pkgsrc changes:
o Copy FreeBSD's method to determine physical memory (fixed upstream
in later versions)
o Adapt to changes in the installed contents.

Main changes:
Includes a new tactic (nsatz, standing for Hilbert's NullStellensatz, that
extends ring to systems of polynomial equations) and a few new libraries (a
certification of mergesort, a new library of finite sets with computational and
logical contents separated).
This version also comes with many improvements of existing features, especially
regarding the tactics, the module system, extraction, the type classes, the

Parrot 2.9.1 News:
- This is a bugfix release to address an excessive slowdown in
the Rakudo Perl 6 build. If you run out of memory on a box with
< 512 MB physical RAM, please report it to us.
Parrot 2.9.0 News:
- Core
+ Parrot and Rakudo's build and tests can now be run under the profiling
runcore
+ IPv6 is now detected, laying the groundwork for future networking
improvements
+ mk_language_shell.pl and create_language.pl no longer require an
installed parrot
+ String PMC's 'reverse' method is now faster and supports all encodings
+ improvements and simplifications in internal string processing
+ Added API for adding STRINGs to the gc root set
+ Speed up ord, substr, index and string comparison opcodes
- Testing
+ "make smoke" supports parallel testing by honoring TEST_JOBS
+ Added tests for Socket PMC, StringBuilder PMC, ByteBuffer PMC,
mk_language_shell.pl, create_language.pl
+ Fixed "Configure.pl" about missing tests
+ Parrot and Rakudo Perl 6 now have access to the GCC Compile Farm
+ Testing on Darwin/PPC
- Git Migration
+ Most developer tools have been ported to Git
+ Majority of developer docs have been written for Git
- Platforms
+ Parrot can now be built on Minix
* libc++ and LLDB are major new additions to the LLVM collective.
* LLVM 2.8 now has pretty decent support for debugging optimized code.
You should be able to reliably get debug info for function arguments,
assuming that the value is actually available where you have stopped.
* A new 'llvm-diff' tool is available that does a semantic diff of .ll files.
* The MC subproject has made major progress in this release. Direct .o file
writing support for darwin/x86[-64] is now reliable and support for other
targets and object file formats are in progress.
* The memcpy, memmove, and memset intrinsics now take address space qualified
pointers and a bit to indicate whether the transfer is "volatile" or not.
* Per-instruction debug info metadata is much faster and uses less memory by
using the new DebugLoc class.
* LLVM IR now has a more formalized concept of "trap values", which allow the
optimizer to optimize more aggressively in the presence of undefined behavior,
while still producing predictable results.
* LLVM IR now supports two new linkage types (linker_private_weak and
linker_private_weak_def_auto) which map onto some obscure MachO concepts.
* The optimizer now has support for updating debug information as it goes.
A key aspect of this is the new llvm.dbg.value intrinsic. This intrinsic
represents debug info for variables that are promoted to SSA values
(typically by mem2reg or the -scalarrepl passes).
* The JumpThreading pass is now much more aggressive about implied value
relations, allowing it to thread conditions like "a == 4" when a is known to
be 13 in one of the predecessors of a block. It does this in conjunction with
the new LazyValueInfo analysis pass.
* The new RegionInfo analysis pass identifies single-entry single-exit regions
in the CFG. You can play with it with the "opt -regions analyze" or "opt
-view-regions" commands.
* The loop optimizer has significantly improved strength reduction and analysis
capabilities. Notably it is able to build on the trap value and signed
integer overflow information to optimize <= and >= loops.
* The CallGraphSCCPassManager now has some basic support for iterating within
an SCC when a optimizer devirtualizes a function call. This allows inlining
through indirect call sites that are devirtualized by store-load forwarding
and other optimizations.
* The new -loweratomic pass is available to lower atomic instructions into
their non-atomic form. This can be useful to optimize generic code that
expects to run in a single-threaded environment.
This version is compatible with the ocaml 3.12.0 in tree
Fix pkg/43956 and pkg/43957
Changes:
Camlp5 Version 5.15:
* [09 Aug 10] Updated compatibility for OCaml current version 3.12.1.

* [29 Jul 10] Added ability to write AST quotations with a colon before
the '<' (e.g. "<:expr:< foo >>") which, in pattern position, generates
a binding of the variable "loc" at the top node:
1/ normal usage (still working):
"fun [ <:expr< x >> -> 0 ]"
which is equivalent to:
"fun [ MLast.ExLid _ (Ploc.VaVal "x") -> 0 ]
2/ new usage:
"fun [ <:expr:< x >> -> 0 ]"
which is equivalent to:
"fun [ MLast.ExLid loc (Ploc.VaVal "x") -> 0 ]
* [21 Jun 10] Added compatibility for OCaml trunk version 3.13.0.
* [29 Apr 10] Fixed bug in pr_depend.cmo: a.B.c did not add module B.

Changes in 4.6.0
- the licenses used in all components of the core system have
been collected in the LICENSE file (Thanks to Peter Bex)
- Added new compiler option `-no-module-registration' which
omits generation of module registration code, even when
generation of import libraries has not been enabled
- running `chicken' without arguments now hints at the
existence of `csi' and `csc'
- `caar', `cdar' and `cddr' generate faster code
- calls to `list', `vector' and the internal structure
allocation primitive that take 1 to 8 arguments generate
faster code
- `chicken-install' now checks the version of the setup
configuration file `setup.defaults'
- added option `-exact' to `chicken-status' and `chicken-uninstall',
which treats the pattern argument as the literal name of the
extension to be listed/deinstalled
- `assert' shows line-number information, if available
(suggested by Alejandro Forero Cuervo)
- interpreted code records the lexical-environment at call-
sites, which can in case of an error be inspected with the
new `,c', `,f' and `,g' csi toplevel commands
- the evaluation-result history in `csi' can be inspected and
cleared (to reduce memory load) with the toplevel commands
`,h' and `,ch'
- unit `data-structures': deprecated `left-section' and
`right-section'
- fixed bug that caused the static syntax-environment of
syntax exported by a module to be incomplete
- module `setup-api': Documented the `version>=?' and
`extension-name-and-version' proceedures
- unit `posix': `utc-time->seconds' is considerably
faster on Mac OS X (thanks to Jim Ursetto);
added new procedure `file-type'
- the `time' macro now shows the correct number of minor
garbage collections
- the immediate-object check inside the marking procedure
of the garbage collector has been manually inlined which
results in a significant GC speedup, depending on memory
load
- unit `srfi-18' and `scheduler': various bugfixes (thanks
to Joerg Wittenberger)
- unit `srfi-4': bugfix in 8-bit vector allocation routines
(thanks to Kon Lovett)
- added `-:H' runtime option to dump heap state on exit
- fixed missing change in Makefile.cygwin (thanks to John Cowan)
- fixed bug in `let-optionals' macro that caused problems when the
rest-variable was actually named `rest' (thanks to Alejandro
Forero Cuervo)
- when Scheme files are translated to C++ or Objective-C, `csc'
will register the feature-identifiers `chicken-scheme-to-c++'/
`chicken-scheme-to-objc' ar compile-time
- fixed bug in expansion of `#!key' parameters in lambda-lists
- debug-output for forcing finalizers on exit goes to stderr now
(thanks to Joerg Wittenberger)
- the installation routines for extensions automatically add
version-number information if none is given in the extension
property list (suggested by Alejandro Forero Cuervo)
- `standard-extension' accepts `#f' now for the version number
and will use the version that has been obtained via
`chicken-install'
- `fifo?', `symbolic-link?', `directory?', `regular-file?', `socket?',
`character-device?' and `block-device?' now accepts file-descriptors
or filenames
- `find-files' takes keyword arguments, now (including the options
to process dotfiles and ignore symbolic links); the old argument
signature is still supported but deprecated
- removed dependency on `symbol-append' in some macros used in
srfi-4.scm to be able to compile the system with older chickens
- fixed bug in script that generates development snapshot
- added build-variable `TARGET_FEATURES', which can be used to pass
extra options enabling or disabling fetures for a system configured
for cross-compilation
- added compiler and interpreter option `-no-feature FEATURENAME' that
disables predefined feature identifiers
- code compiled with interrupts disabled will not emit inline files
for global inlining since they may execute in a context where
interrupts are enabled
- the `setup.defaults' file that holds download sources for
`chicken-install' now allows aliases for locations
- CHICKEN systems build from cross-compilation now by default
transparently build and install extensions for both the host
and target parts of the cross-compilation setup; the options
`-host' and `-target' can now be used to selectively build
an extensions for the host- and the target system, respectively
- also added `-host' and `-target' options to `chicken-status' and
`chicken-uninstall'
- `chicken-install' now respects the `http_proxy' environment variable
(contributed by Stephen Eilert)
- the `srfi-4' library unit has been heavily cleaned up and optimized
- optimization-level 3 now enables global inlining
- fixed the case that declarations listing global identifiers did not
correctly rename them

`csc'
- `csi' now offers a toplevel command `,e' for invoking an external
editor (suggested by Oivind Binde)
- the `describe' command in `csi' now detects many circular lists
(contributed by Christian Kellermann)
- `csi' doesn't depend on the `srfi-69' library unit anymore
- when a closing sequence delimiter is missing or incorrect, the
reader also reports the starting line of the sequence
- the reader signals an error when a file contains certain characters
that indicate that it is a binary file
- procedure-information shown by the printer for procedures is now
corrected for some library procedures that where missing the correct
information; `getter-with-setter' copies procedure-information objects
into the newly created accessor procedure, if available
- calls to some known pure standard- or extended procedures are removed, if
the procedures are called with side-effect free arguments and the
result is not used (this can also by enabled for user procedures with
the `constant' declaration)
- fixed some build-system bugs related to installation
- fixed a problem in the C runtime code that prevented it to be compileable
without a configuration header-file
- the makefile-target to build a bootstrapping `chicken' executable
performs multi-stage build now

Heidkamp)
- added `boot-chicken' makefile target to simplify bootstrapping
the system from sources and documented this in the README
(suggested by Jim Ursetto)
- CHICKEN can now be built on haiku (contributed by Chris Roberts)
- on Solaris, the system can be compiled with the SunPro C compiler
(thanks to Semih Cemiloglu)
- removed the `-disable-warnings' compiler option and `disable-warnings'
declaration specifier
- `fx/' and `fxmod' generate now faster code in safe mode
- cleaned up manual pages
- slightly optimized variable- and procedure-access
- in the compiler `-debug-level 2' implies `-scrutinize'
- internal compiler-transformation for `for-each' and `map'
apply now with any expression as the procedure argument
- the compiler warns about non-intrinsic exported toplevel variables
which are declared to be safe
- `csc' didn't handle the `-verbose' option (thanks to Mario Goulart)
- the `,d' command in `csi' now detects circular lists (thanks to
Christian Kellermann)
- strings passed to C runtime functions and which are converted to
0-terminated C strings are now checked for not containing embedded
`\0' characters (thanks to Peter Bex)
- errors in user-defined record printers are caught and shown in the
output instead of throwing an error to avoid endless recursion when
an error message is printed
- a feature identifier named `chicken-MAJOR.MINOR' is now defined
to simplify conditionalization of code on the CHICKEN version
- `getter-with-setter' copies the lambda-information (if available) from
the getter to the generated procedure
- `time' uses a somewhat more concise output format and outputs timing
information to stderr instead of stdout
- added a new chapter on cross-development to the manual
- added the `safe-globals' declaration specifier
- split up manual chapter `Modules and macros' into two chapters
(named `Modules' and `Macros', respectively - suggested by
Mario Goulart)
- the last 5 non-precompiled regular expressions are now internally
cached in compiled form, which speeds up repeated matching of
the same uncompiled regular expression dramatically
- added the new procedure `yes-or-no?' to the `utils' library unit
- added a `bench' makefile target that runs some non-trivial
benchmark programs
- added `install-target' and `install-dev' makefile target for
installing only target system libraries in cross-mode and
development files (static libraries and headers)
- added `[-]no-procedure-checks-for-toplevel-bindings' compiler
option and declaration
- usage of unimported syntax in modules gives more usable
error messages; in particular, used but unimported FFI forms are
now detected
- invalid syntactic forms (mostly `()') encountered by the compiler
or interpreter show the contextual form containing the expression,
or, if indicated by the context warns about missing imports
- simplified manual pages of all core tools - they now refer to
the output shown by invoking `<tool> -help'
- added new option `-feature FEATURE' to `chicken-install' tool
to pass feature-identifiers to invocations of `csc'
- removed deprecated `-host-extension' option from `chicken-install'
- `chicken-status' in a system built for cross-compilation now
lists extensions installed in the target prefix, unless the
new `-host' option is given on the command line
- `chicken-uninstall' in a system built for cross-compilation now
removes extensions installed in the target prefix, unless the
new `-host' option is given on the command line
- added missing entry for `finite?' to the `chicken' module
exports
- added new procedure `port-closed?' to the `library' unit
(contributed by Peter Bex)
- added new procedure `symbol-append' to the library unit
- the compiler-option `-optimize-level 0' is equivalent to
`-no-compiler-syntax -no-usual-integrations`
- internal rewritings of `map' and `for-each' ensure correct
evaluation order of the arguments and does a better job
at detecting non-list arguments (thanks to Jim Ursetto)
- `void' now takes arbitrary arguments and ignores them
- deprecated `noop' (from the `data-structures' unit) which
is now replaced by `void'
- the `time' macro now performs a major garbage collection
before executing the contained expressions and writes
the timings in a more compact format to the port given
by `(current-error-port)' instead of the standard output
port
- definitions of the form `(define define ...)' and
`(define-syntax define-syntax ...)' now trigger an error,
as required by R5RS (thanks to Jeronimo Pellegrini and Alex
Shinn)
- deprecated `random-seed' from the `extras' unit, since it
is identical to `randomize'
- added new procedure `create-temporary-directory' to the
`files' unit
- deprecated the optional path separator argument to
`make-pathname'
- slightly improved the performance of keyword argument
processing
- removed the deprecated `canonical-path' and `current-environment'
procedures from the `posix' unit
- warnings that mostly refer to programming style issues are
now coined `notes' and are only shown in the interpreter
or when debug-mode is enabled or when scrutiny is enabled
when compiling
ruby18-base-1.8.7.302
ruby19-base-1.9.2pl0
* Now patches of ruby-gdm, ruby-curses, ruby-readline and ruby-tk
are gathered to lang/ruby18-base and lang/ruby19-base.
Ruby's patchlevel N reflect as "plN" instead of ".N" from Ruby 1.9.
ruby18-base-1.8.7.302
ruby19-base-1.9.2pl0
Still Ruby 1.9.2pl0 support is disabled.
* Introduce RUBY_API_VERSION.
* RUBY_BUILD_RDOC and RUBY_BUILD_RI controls build of rdoc/ri. But,
currently ruby18-base and ruby19-base according to PKG_OPTION.
* Define rubygem supporting macros.
* RUBY_HAS_ARCHLIB is deprecated.
* Many directory macros are changed to relative path against PREFIX and
some of them are their name.
* Many directory macro, such as GEM_DOCDIR and GEM_LIBDIR are changed
to relative path against PREFIX.
* RUBYGEM_OPTIONS could be set from pkgsrc's Makefile.
* RUBY_BUILD_RDOC and RUBY_BUILD_RI controls build of rdoc/ri. But,
currently ruby18-base and ruby19-base according to PKG_OPTION.
* Assume name of commands gem18/rake18 or gem19/rake19.
* GEM_BUILD's default has changed from rake to gemspec. Most of rubygem
based pacakges would be installed via gem command.
* USE_RAKE controls the needs of the rake command.
* MASTER_SITES now use http://rubygems.org/downloads/ first.
* Check existence of GEM_DOCDIR before execute find(1).

Incompatible Changes
There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.12.1.
If any exist, they are bugs and reports are welcome.
Core Enhancements
Other than the bug fixes listed below, there should be no
user-visible changes to the core language in this release.
Modules and Pragmata
New Modules and Pragmata
This release does not introduce any new modules or pragmata.
Pragmata Changes
In the previous release, no VERSION; statements triggered a bug
which could cause feature bundles to be loaded and strict mode
to be enabled unintentionally.
Updated Modules
Carp
Upgraded from version 1.16 to 1.17.
Carp now detects incomplete caller() overrides and avoids using bogus
@DB::args. To provide backtraces, Carp relies on particular behaviour
of the caller built-in. Carp now detects if other code has overridden
this with an incomplete implementation, and modifies its backtrace
accordingly. Previously incomplete overrides would cause incorrect
values in backtraces (best case), or obscure fatal errors (worst case)
This fixes certain cases of Bizarre copy of ARRAY caused by modules
overriding caller() incorrectly.
CPANPLUS
A patch to cpanp-run-perl has been backported from CPANPLUS 0.9004.
This resolves [perl #55964] and [perl #57106], both of which related
to failures to install distributions that use Module::Install::DSL.
File::Glob
A regression which caused a failure to find CORE::GLOBAL::glob after
loading File::Glob to crash has been fixed. Now, it correctly falls
back to external globbing via pp_glob.
File::Copy
File::Copy::copy(FILE, DIR) is now documented.
File::Spec
Upgraded from version 3.31 to 3.31_01.
Several portability fixes were made in File::Spec::VMS: a colon is now
recognized as a delimiter in native filespecs; caret-escaped
delimiters are recognized for better handling of extended filespecs;
catpath() returns an empty directory rather than the current
directory if the input directory name is empty; abs2rel() properly
handles Unix-style input.
Utility Changes
* perlbug now always gives the reporter a chance to change the email
address it guesses for them.
* perlbug should no longer warn about uninitialized values when using
the -d and -v options.
Changes to Existing Documentation
* The existing policy on backward-compatibility and deprecation has
been added to perlpolicy, along with definitions of terms like
deprecation.
* "srand" in perlfunc's usage has been clarified.
* The entry for "die" in perlfunc was reorganized to emphasize its role
in the exception mechanism.
* Perl's INSTALL file has been clarified to explicitly state that Perl
requires a C89 compliant ANSI C Compiler.
* IO::Socket's getsockopt() and setsockopt() have been documented.
* alarm()'s inability to interrupt blocking IO on Windows has been
documented.
* Math::TrulyRandom hasn't been updated since 1996 and has been removed
as a recommended solution for random number generation.
* perlrun has been updated to clarify the behaviour of octal flags to
perl.
* To ease user confusion, $# and $*, two special variables that were
removed in earlier versions of Perl have been documented.
* The version of perlfaq shipped with the Perl core has been updated
from the official FAQ version, which is now maintained in the
briandfoy/perlfaq branch of the Perl repository at
git://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git.
Installation and Configuration Improvements
Configuration improvements
* The d_u32align configuration probe on ARM has been fixed.
Compilation improvements
* An "incompatible operand types" error in ternary expressions when
building with clang has been fixed.
* Perl now skips setuid File::Copy tests on partitions it detects to
be mounted as nosuid.
Selected Bug Fixes
* A possible segfault in the T_PRTOBJ default typemap has been fixed.
* A possible memory leak when using caller() to set @DB::args has been
fixed.
* Several memory leaks when loading XS modules were fixed.
* unpack() now handles scalar context correctly for %32H and %32u,
fixing a potential crash. split() would crash because the third item
on the stack wasn't the regular expression it expected.
unpack("%2H", ...) would return both the unpacked result and the
checksum on the stack, as would unpack("%2u", ...). [perl #73814]
* Perl now avoids using memory after calling free() in pp_require when
there are CODEREFs in @INC.
* A bug that could cause "Unknown error" messages when
"call_sv(code, G_EVAL)" is called from an XS destructor has been fixed.
* The implementation of the open $fh, '>' \$buffer feature now supports
get/set magic and thus tied buffers correctly.
* The pp_getc, pp_tell, and pp_eof opcodes now make room on the stack
for their return values in cases where no argument was passed in.
* When matching unicode strings under some conditions inappropriate
backtracking would result in a Malformed UTF-8 character (fatal)
error. This should no longer occur. See [perl #75680]
Platform Specific Notes
AIX
* README.aix has been updated with information about the XL C/C++ V11
compiler suite.
Windows
* When building Perl with the mingw64 x64 cross-compiler incpath,
libpth, ldflags, lddlflags and ldflags_nolargefiles values in
Config.pm and Config_heavy.pl were not previously not being set
correctly because, with that compiler, the include and lib
directories are not immediately below $(CCHOME).
VMS
* git_version.h is now installed on VMS. This was an oversight in
v5.12.0 which caused some extensions to fail to build.
* Several memory leaks in stat() have been fixed.
* A memory leak in Perl_rename() due to a double allocation has been
fixed.
* A memory leak in vms_fid_to_name() (used by realpath() and
realname()) has been fixed.

What's New in Python 2.6.6 rc 1?
================================
*Release date: 2010-08-03*
Core and Builtins
-----------------
- Issue #6213: Implement getstate() and setstate() methods of utf-8-sig and
utf-16 incremental encoders.
- Issue #8271: during the decoding of an invalid UTF-8 byte sequence, only the
start byte and the continuation byte(s) are now considered invalid, instead
of the number of bytes specified by the start byte.
E.g.: '\xf1\x80AB'.decode('utf-8', 'replace') now returns u'\ufffdAB' and
replaces with U+FFFD only the start byte ('\xf1') and the continuation byte
('\x80') even if '\xf1' is the start byte of a 4-bytes sequence.
Previous versions returned a single u'\ufffd'.
- Issue #9058: Remove assertions about INT_MAX in UnicodeDecodeError.
- Issue #8941: decoding big endian UTF-32 data in UCS-2 builds could crash
the interpreter with characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane
(higher than 0x10000).
- Issue #8627: Remove bogus "Overriding __cmp__ blocks inheritance of
__hash__ in 3.x" warning. Also fix "XXX undetected error" that
arises from the "Overriding __eq__ blocks inheritance ..." warning
when turned into an exception: in this case the exception simply
gets ignored.
- Issue #4108: In urllib.robotparser, if there are multiple 'User-agent: *'
entries, consider the first one.
- Issue #9354: Provide getsockopt() in asyncore's file_wrapper.
- In the unicode/str.format(), raise a ValueError when indexes to arguments are
too large.
- Issue #3798: Write sys.exit() message to sys.stderr to use stderr encoding
and error handler, instead of writing to the C stderr file in utf-8
- Issue #7902: When using explicit relative import syntax, don't try
implicit relative import semantics.
- Issue #7079: Fix a possible crash when closing a file object while using
it from another thread. Patch by Daniel Stutzbach.
- Issue #1533: fix inconsistency in range function argument
processing: any non-float non-integer argument is now converted to
an integer (if possible) using its __int__ method. Previously, only
small arguments were treated this way; larger arguments (those whose
__int__ was outside the range of a C long) would produce a TypeError.
- Issue #8417: Raise an OverflowError when an integer larger than sys.maxsize
is passed to bytearray.
- Issue #8329: Don't return the same lists from select.select when no fds are
changed.
- Raise a TypeError when trying to delete a T_STRING_INPLACE struct member.
- Issue #1583863: An unicode subclass can now override the __unicode__ method.
- Issue #7507: Quote "!" in pipes.quote(); it is special to some shells.
- Issue #7544: Preallocate thread memory before creating the thread to avoid
a fatal error in low memory condition.
- Issue #7820: The parser tokenizer restores all bytes in the right if
the BOM check fails.
- Issue #7072: isspace(0xa0) is true on Mac OS X
C-API
-----
- Issue #5753: A new C API function, :cfunc:`PySys_SetArgvEx`, allows
embedders of the interpreter to set sys.argv without also modifying
sys.path. This helps fix `CVE-2008-5983
<http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-5983>`_.

- Issue #3704: cookielib was not properly handling URLs with a / in the
parameters.
- Issue #4629: getopt raises an error if an argument ends with = whereas getopt

- Issue #8313: traceback.format_exception_only() encodes unicode message to
ASCII with backslashreplace error handler if str(value) failed
- Issue #8567: Fix precedence of signals in Decimal module: when a
Decimal operation raises multiple signals and more than one of those
signals is trapped, the specification determines the order in which
the signals should be handled. In many cases this order wasn't
being followed, leading to the wrong Python exception being raised.

indefinitely if the other end didn't respond.
- The do_handshake() method of SSL objects now adjusts the blocking mode of
the SSL structure if necessary (as other methods already do).

underlying socket from being closed until all objects get truely destroyed.
- Issue #7943: Fix circular reference created when instantiating an SSL
socket. Initial patch by Péter Szabó.
- Issue #8108: Fix the unwrap() method of SSL objects when the socket has
a non-infinite timeout. Also make that method friendlier with applications

Extension Modules
-----------------
- Fix memory leak in ssl._ssl._test_decode_cert.
- Issue #9422: Fix memory leak when re-initializing a struct.Struct object.
- Issue #7900: The getgroups(2) system call on MacOSX behaves rather oddly
compared to other unix systems. In particular, os.getgroups() does
not reflect any changes made using os.setgroups() but basicly always
returns the same information as the id command.
os.getgroups() can now return more than 16 groups on MacOSX.
- Issue #9277: Fix bug in struct.pack for bools in standard mode
(e.g., struct.pack('>?')): if conversion to bool raised an exception
then that exception wasn't properly propagated on machines where
char is unsigned.
- Issue #7384: If the system readline library is linked against
ncurses, do not link the readline module against ncursesw. The
additional restriction of linking the readline and curses modules
against the same curses library is currently not enabled.
- Issue #2810: Fix cases where the Windows registry API returns
ERROR_MORE_DATA, requiring a re-try in order to get the complete result.
Build
-----
- Issue #8854: Fix finding Visual Studio 2008 on Windows x64.
- Issue #3928: os.mknod() now available in Solaris, also.
- Issue #8175: --with-universal-archs=all works correctly on OSX 10.5
- Issue #6716: Quote -x arguments of compileall in MSI installer.
- Issue #1628484: The Makefile doesn't ignore the CFLAGS environment
variable anymore. It also forwards the LDFLAGS settings to the linker
when building a shared library.
Tests
-----
- Issue #7849: Now the utility ``check_warnings`` verifies if the warnings are
effectively raised. A new private utility ``_check_py3k_warnings`` has been
backported to help silencing py3k warnings.
- Issue #8672: Add a zlib test ensuring that an incomplete stream can be
handled by a decompressor object without errors (it returns incomplete
uncompressed data).
- Issue #8629: Disable some test_ssl tests, since they give different
results with OpenSSL 1.0.0 and higher.
- Issue #8576: Remove use of find_unused_port() in test_smtplib and
test_multiprocessing. Patch by Paul Moore.
- Issue #7027: regrtest.py keeps a reference to the encodings.ascii module as a
workaround to #7140 bug
- Issue #3864: Skip three test_signal tests on freebsd6 because they fail
if any thread was previously started, most likely due to a platform bug.
- Issue #8193: Fix test_zlib failure with zlib 1.2.4.
Documentation
-------------
- Issue #9255: Document that the 'test' package is for internal Python use
only.
- Issue #8909: Added the size of the bitmap used in the installer created by
distutils' bdist_wininst. Patch by Anatoly Techtonik.
INSTALL_PROGRAM and INSTALL_SCRIPT.
They reflect to Ruby's Config::CONFIG constant which contains
various configuration parametes which would be used when installing
extention modules including ruby gems.
Setting INSTALL explicitly reset the line in mk/configure/gnu-configure.mk.
CONFIGURE_ENV+= ac_given_INSTALL=${INSTALL:Q}\ -c\ -o\ ${BINOWN}\ -g\ ${BINGRP}
Should be fix PR pkg/43684 and pkg/43687.
Bump PKGREVISION.
We intentionally wire down the 'libswanted' list in the package Makefile, so
don't let the hints file add new libraries that may be found outside Pkgsrc
control.
Fixes build on Gentoo and SuSE systems, and possibly other Linux systems too
that might have stray -lgdbm_compat libraries lying around.

0.90.5
======
* Byte compiler bugfix in docstring loss [Teika Kazura]
Practical effect: Previously, if a user byte-compile files, then
the docstring is lost in sawfish-config. This is fixed.
Details: Loss of docstring happened only if (1) byte compiler is
not given `--write-docs', so only byte-compilation by user (2)
defvar is invoked within macro definition, including `defcustom' in
Sawfish. Plain defvar was not affected by this bug. It was
because in 'trans-defvar' in lisp/rep/vm/compiler/rep.jl, the
docstring is stored in a wrong property `variable-documentation'.
It is corrected to `documentation'.
Symbol `variable-documentation' is not used elsewhere, including
Sawfish and emacs' sawfish-mode.
* Our own implementation of dlmalloc is disabled since 2002, as it
breaks librep on several architectures. From this version on, we
don't ship it. [Kim B. Heino]
* Our own implementation of alloca/memcmp is not needed, rely on
libcs instead. [Kim B. Heino]
* Majorly improved the debian and rpm packaging scripts [Christopher
Bratusek] [Kim B. Heino]
* Install headers to $includedir/rep/ instead of $includedir/
[Christopher Bratusek]
* Autotools improvements (Makefile, autogen.sh & Co.) [Christopher
Bratusek]
* Added `file-gid-p' function for getting the gid of a file
[Christopher Bratusek]
* Added `file-uid-p' function for getting the uid of a file
[Christopher Bratusek]
0.90.4

* Improved regex for parsing tar output in the file-handler [Alexey
I. Froloff]
* We do now correctly check for libffi
* Improved libffi-binding [Alexey I. Froloff]
* Updated librep.sym for missing entries [Alexey I. Froloff]
* Fixed an incomplete definition

to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!

Pkgsrc changes:
- Adjust some patches
- Remove patches integrated upstream
- Use Perl's "Policy.sh" framework (along the way remove some patches)
- Link in an enterprise friendly way on HPUX
- in buildlink3.mk bump minimum required pkgsrc Perl version to
5.12.0
- placate some pkglint warnings
Upstream changes:
- From version 5.12.1 announce
This release contains minor bug fixes and updates of several core
modules, as well as minor documentation updates. It should be fully
backward compatible with Perl 5.12.0.
- From version 5.12.0 announce:
Perl 5.12.0 represents approximately two years of development since
version 5.10.0 and contains over 750,000 lines of changes across over
3,000 files from over 200 authors and committers.
[...]
Notable changes in Perl 5.12 include:
* Perl now conforms much more closely to the Unicode standard.
Additionally, this release includes an upgrade to version
5.2 of the standard.
* New experimental APIs allow developers to extend Perl with
"pluggable" keywords and syntax.
* Perl now has a better sense of time and will be able to keep
accurate time well past the "Y2038" barrier.
* New syntax allows developers to specify package version numbers
directly in "package" statements
* Perl now warns the user about the use of deprecated features
by default.
- For a complete list of changes see included perl5120delta(1) and
perl5121delta(1) or http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5120delta.html and
http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5121delta.html
Some of the highlights in release 3.12 are:
* Polymorphic recursion is supported, using explicit type
declarations on the recursively-defined identifiers.
* First-class modules: module expressions can be embedded as
values of the core language, then manipulated like any other
first-class value, then projected back to the module level.
* New operator to modify a signature a posteriori: S with type
t := tau denotes signature S where the t type component is
removed and substituted by the type tau elsewhere.
* New notations for record expressions and record patterns:
{ lbl } as shorthand for { lbl = lbl }, and { ...; _ } marks
record patterns where some labels were intentionally omitted.
* Local open let open ... in ... now supported by popular demand.
* Type variables can be bound as type parameters to functions;
such types are treated like abstract types within the
function body, and like type variables (possibly generalized)
outside.
* The module type of construct enables to recover the module
type of a given module.
* Explicit method override using the method! keyword, with
associated warnings and errors.
Changes in 5.11.4:
* ADDED: library coinduction.pl, after discussion with Gopal Gupta.
* CLEANUP: Share more of the Makefiles between Windows and the rest
* FIXED: destruction of a queue if a thread is waiting to write
* FIXED: error by current_blob/2.
* MODIFIED: incorrect handling of (^)/2 in setof/3 and bagof/3.
The new version should now fully comply to ISO. As of now,
- The predicate ^/2 no longer exists
- ^ is only handled by bagof/setof if it appears
directly at the toplevel of the 2nd argument.
E.g., the following is NOT allowed:
setof(X, (foo(X); Y^foo(Y)), L).
Code must be rewritten. At runtime, problems are signalled
by ^/2 being undefined. compile-time analysis can be achieved using
gxref/0 (or check/0 for quick-and-dirty).
* FIXED: GC error when nesting (if->then/*no-else*/) inside \+.
Thanks to test-case by Keri Harris.
* FIXED: retractall(x(X,X)). Roberto Tiella.
Changes in 5.11.3:
* FIXED: Top level now performs expand_goal/2 *after* correcting the
goal.
* MODIFIED: PL_CUTTED -> PL_PRUNED. Kept PL_CUTTED as a #define for
compatibility.
* FIXED: Correctly read RDF/XML that is in UTF-8 on Windows.
* ENHANCED: Faster enumeration of subjects for writing small RDF gaphs
* ENHANCED: Better sizing of the hash-tables.
* CLEANUP: Use size_t in many places for RDF-DB
* ADDED: RDF-DB index on +,+,+. This provides a significant speedup in
loading databases with multiple objects on the same SP.
* ADDED: Syntax closer to ISO with set_prolog_flag(iso,true).
See Prolog flag iso for a detailed description.
* MAINT: Fix compilation under -DO_DEBUG. Andy Valencia.
* FIXED: Syntax: proper bracketing of arguments
* MODIFIED: Simpler syntax within { }.
According to 6.3.6 the term within curly brackets is read with
priority 1201, so no extra parentheses are needed.
Changes in 5.11.2:
* ADDED: lang_equal/2 to RDF library to test language equality. Jacco
van Ossenbruggen
* FIXED: Error from http_absolute_location/3 if an alias is not
defined.
* FIXED: Avoid error in edit/1 hook if an HTTP path-alias is undefined.
* ADDED: Just-in-time creation of thread-pools for the HTTP server
using the new hook
http:create_pool/1. Cleanup of the code for faster spawning of
worker-threads.
* MODIFIED: Threaded server defaults: keep-alive-timeout is now 2
seconds (was 5)
and the worker-count is now 5 (was 2). Worker-count is increased
because many
servers need it as since version 5.9.x there is hardly a price for
more workers.
* ADDED: option hide_children(Bool) to make prefix handlers hide their
children
and allow http_delete_handler to delete a handler-by-id.
* PORT: Realise set_end_of_file in Windows version
* ENHANCED: Implement safe-locking of the RDF persistent database
* ADDED: set_end_of_stream/1.
* PORT: Fix for MS VS2010 compilation. Degski.
* ADDED: lang_matches/2 to library(rdf_db)
* FIXED: url_to_filename/2 in rdf_persistency was broken due to
steadfastness
fix in DCG (commit 1a1a5699). Jacco van Ossenbruggen.
* FIXED: list_settings/0. Li Li.
* FIXED: handling of = and contains in xpath. Carsten van Weelden.
* ADDED: library(semweb/sparql_client) providing a SPARQL client API.
* ENHANCED: Layout for listing where the body resides in another
module.
* ENHANCED: Provide style pldoc(Id) with each PlDoc handler
* ADDED: reply_html_page/3: re-stylable HTML pages
* FIXED: Possible crash in cleanup handlers.
See comment above discardChoicesAfter() for more details.
* ENHANCED: Make it possible to give syntax-warnings with exact
positions.
* ADDED: Warnings for missing quotes for , and |
* MODIFIED: Stricter list syntax. E.g. [a,b|c,d] or [a|b|c] are now
illegal.
In the unlikely case this was intended, the term after the bar (|)
must be
enclosed in brackets. I.e. [a,b|(c,d)] or [a|(b|c)].
* FIXED: Syntax: proper quoting of | and ,
* PORT: Improve behavioral consistency between 32-bit and 64-bit
allocation
* FIXED: Memory leak for threads allocating chunks of 512 bytes. Matt
Lilley.
* ADDED: computing SHA incrementally. Ivan Shmakov
* INSTALL: Item#567: make check of xpce loading user's .plrc
* FIXED: steadfastness in DCG translation. Item#379
* FIXED: Item#559: hanging system in GC. Only affects 32-bit platforms
when doing GC on large stacks that have >8Mb chunks of continuous
garbage. Ulrich Neumerkel.
* DOC: errors for atom_length/2. Ulrich Neumerkel.
* ADDED: Library(http/js_write) to embed JavaScript calls into HTML
pages
* FIXED: Processing of stack-limit options in thread_create/3. Jacco.
* FIXED: Avoid direct access to private predicates of module error.
* ADDED: rdf_reachable/5, providing a distance limit and returning the
distance.
* ADDED: rdf_is_resource/1 and rdf_is_literal/1 for completeness.
* FIXED: Thread-creation if ulimit -s == infinite.
* FIXED: Do not skip character after . in turtle parser. Lourens van
der Meij.
* PORT: Windows snprintf --> _snprintf
* MODIFIED: On systems that provide getrlimit(), the default
C-stack-size of
created threads is the same as that of the main thread. This was
already
the default on Linux, but not on e.g. MacOS.
* ADDED: statistics(c_stack, StackSize) to query the system (C-)stack
limit.
For consistency, thread_create now also accepts c_stack as parameter.
This patch also cleans some type-issues with regard to stack-size
specification and removes 2Gb limit for Win64 due to the use of long.
* ADDED: Skos prefix
* ADDED: http_server_property/2. This patch also does some cleanup to
the meta-predicate declarations for the multi-threaded HTTP server.
* FIXED: Check for integer overflows in numeric-arguments for
format-specifiers
* FIXED: Possible buffer overflow on format('~200f', [1]). Mike
Elston.
* ADDED: library(http/http_openid), supporting OpenID consumers and a
server.
* ADDED: library(http/http_host) to obtain the public hostname of our
HTTP service
* CLEANUP: Stricter type-checking in load_files/2. Discussion on
comp.lang.prolog.
* FIXED: Old naming conventions. Julian Zubek.
* FIXED: Atom-GC for blobs that do not have PL_BLOB_UNIQUE. Samer
Abdallah.
* ADDED: Allow for selective importing of operators in use_module/2.
After discussion with Vitor.
* PORT: Do not use chrpath if the kernel is not a shared object
* PORT: Some type-issues in socket libs (nonblockio.c)
I do not think any of these could have been fatal. They just produce
alarming messages from the compiler.
Changes in 5.11.1:
* PORT: Windows: make fake EWOULDBLOCK error compatible with new def in
VS2010
* PORT: Fix download of Windows prerequisites for Windows 7. Degski.
* ADDED: Support for "406 Not Acceptable" responses in the HTTP server.
* INSTALL: make prepare check all checked-out modules, regardless of
-a.
* FIXED: Cleanup after uncaught stack-overflow exceptions. Paul
Singleton.
* DOC: Fixed code for skeleton client. Mike Elston.
* FIXED: ?= for cases where the arguments do not unify. Marco Montali.
* FIXED: Possible crash on stack-shift in cleanup handler. Jochem
Liem.
* FIXED: Possibly wrong association of $and in frozen/2. Samer
Abdallah.
* FIXED: Handling option register_namespaces(true) in rdf_load/2.
Vangelis Vassiliadis.
* MODIDIED: rdf_assert/4 now discards *complete* duplicates (incl
source).
* PORT: Avoid including termios.h into pl-os.h to localise the
dependencies
and (hopefully) make the system compile on Solaris.
* PORT: Get prototype for posix_openpt(), avoiding warning
* PORT: Move time-dependencies where they are needed; use POSIX
clock_gettime() if it is provided.
* DOC: Enhance comments of rb_insert/4 and rb_insert_new/4.
* MODIFIED: Make rdf_meta/1 module-aware. This means that calls are
only expanded if they resolve to the exact predicate that is declared
using rdf_meta. This might break code relying on the old behaviour
that expansion took place regardless of the module.
It is possible to get a warning on calls that used to be expanded
and are now not using this call before *loading* the program:
?- debug(rdf_meta).
The new code also expands NS:Local appearing literally in the head
of rdf_meta-declared clauses.
Pkgsrc changes:
o Now pass the --optimize flag to configure
o Pull in devel/gmp/buildlink3.mk so that multi-precision arithmetic

executable of a Python script, from Helge Muehlmeier per pkgsrc-wip
This pkg abuses Python distutils in a non-portable way, so I've
added a hack which relinks the startup code behind setuptools'
back. This is easier than patching the setup.py script into doing trt.

3.9.0
=====
* Prerelease of the 4.0.0 that will be R6RS compliant.
* The doc directory temporary removed from distrib.
The old docs obsolete and new is not ready.
* Simple R6RS-like library manager implemented.
"load" function removed (use "import" syntax instead).
* the ksi module system removed in a favour of new R6RS library system.
* `psyntax.ss' that implemented 'syntax-case' in older revisions of the ksi, was removed.
As a result, only core syntax evaluated by ksi.
And ksi core is not a R6RS core :-(
* '(gensym)' generate (almost) unique symbol names.
As a part of generated symbol name used a 'session_id' that is initialized at startup.
So, each ksi invocation has its own 'session_id'.
This can help (in a future) to hardly optimize the scheme code evaluation
Now the 'session_id' is initialized with random bits converted to readable string.
* the "do" syntax, "delay" syntax and "force" function was removed from the ksi core.
* the 'struct Ksi_Environ' and companions was rewriten almost completly.
Now the environment has the name, the export list
and the hashtab that maps the symbol to the value
A value can be a plain value (the symbol is a variable) or a syntax value.
If a symbol is bound to a syntax value, it can not be defined, assigned or
used in any other case except in a intented syntax form
As a special case, if a symbol is bound to a syntax value and the value is a procedure,
the procedure is applyed to the form before evaluating it.
(Look at 'ksi_defsyntax()' and 'ksi_compile()' for details).
This mechanics is intended for low-level macros (as "define-macro!")
and derived forms such as 'cond', 'case', etc.
The normal sanitary macro system planned ;-).
* All packed-in-the-pointer objects was removed.
Such objects as 'ksi_nil', 'ksi_false' and so on,
are implemented as a pointers to a memory location
that allocated when initializing the ksi library.
Do not be suprized the error if you use its before calling `ksi_init()'.
* The 'struct Ksi_Char' (added) is internal representation of a character now.
(first step to unicode).
* the GMP library used for exact arithmetics now.
As a result, the ksi supports the exact rational numbers now.
* The short integers was removed. Bignums are the only exact numbers now.
And predefined constans 'ksi_zero', 'ksi_one', etc was removed too.
(Use 'ksi_long2num()' in C code)
* A flonum has real and imag part always, and so, a flonum is a complex number now.
But 'real?' returns #t if imaginary part is zero
and 'number->string' do not print "+0.0i" if imaginary part is zero.
(This is not what R6RS requires but alas, it is the ksi)
* balanced comments are writen within "#| |#" construct now
(not with "#! !#" as in the previous revisions of the ksi).
The sequence "#!<identifier>" used for the reader directives now.
In addition, to support the scheme scripts, the sequence "#! " (note whitespace)
and "#!/" in the very begin of a file supposed as a one-line comment.
* Reader now case-sensitive by default, as required R6RS.
Use the "#!fold-case" directive to switch the reader to the case-insensitive mode,
and "#!no-fold-case" to switch to the case-sensitive mode back.
* By default, the reader parses postfix keyword notation, such as "key:".
"#!keyword-prefix" switches the reader to prefix mode, such as ":key",
and "#!keyword-postfix" switches the reader back to postfix mode.
* By default, the reader do not parses the old ksi keyword notation, such as "#:key".
Use the "#!keyword-sharp" directive to switch the old mode on,
and "#!no-keyword-sharp" to switch off.
* "#!r6rs" directive switches the reader to the R6RS mode,
and "#!ksi" directive switches the reader to the default mode back.
In the r6rs mode:
-- the keywords are not parsed at all;
-- any sequence that starts with digit, '+', '-', '.', tried to be parsed as a number
and, if cannot, exception raised.
Otherwice the sequence is parsed as a symbol.
In the ksi mode:
-- the keywords are parsed;
-- any sequence, that starts with digit, or '+', '-', '.' folowed by digit,
tried to be parsed as a number and, if cannot, exception raised.
Otherwice the sequence is parsed as a symbol.
So, the sequence like '+x' is parsed as symbol in the ksi mode, but raise exception in the r6rs mode.
Note that in the previous revisions of the ksi, any sequence,
that cannot be parsed as a number, was considered as a symbol (never exception raised).
3.5.1
=====
* bugfixes
* (Windows) ksi dll name has version info now.
3.5.0
=====
* code refactoring
Continuation barriers now block only downward continuation jumps
and allow escapes through full continuations
Changed internal-definition handling to allow expressions mixed
with definitions
Added support for subprocesses as new process groups
Added support for best-effort termination of subprocess by a
custodian
Added flreal-part, flimag-part, make-flrectangular, and unsafe
variants
Added fl->eact-integer, fl->fx, and unsafe-fl->fx
Added #:async-apply option to _fun
Added chaperone-evt
Added identifier-prune-to-source-module
Changed apply binding to enable lower-level optimizations
Upgraded to libffi 3.0.9+
Highlights:
- configure system rewritten and simplified
- better emulation of SWI, especially of C-interface, allows:
o port of SWI packages: sgml and plunit work better, clib, RDF,
zlib and http seem to be working well, semweb compiles
o better integration with C: it is now possible to call YAP from JPL
reliably (all tests in the demos/java directory succeed in Linux)
o it is now possible to create a stream with SWI routines and use
YAP IO (parser, writer) on it
o pyswip: YAP now includes a version of the pyswip package for
experimentation: all the demos seem to be work (YAP must be compiled
as a dynamic library)
- compilation in Sun and NetBSD
- YAP can now handle very, very large terms in compiled clauses.
- several new builtins
- improve thread implementation, especially locking in IO routines and indexing
o fix C thread interface
- fix odbc support in MYDDAS
- fix overflow in ==
- fix bad call to subsumes/2
- new version of trie library, developed by Theo and Ricardo
Changes in sbcl-1.0.41 relative to sbcl-1.0.40:
* optimization: validity of observed keyword initargs to MAKE-INSTANCE is
cached, leading to many fewer expensive calls to
COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS.
* optimization: in the (unoptimized) general method for MAKE-INSTANCE on a
CLASS argument, search for and call an appropriate optimized ctor function
if it exists.
* bug fix: WRITE always returns the correct value.
NEWS FROM 3.2.1 TO 3.2.2
o Fixes to gst-remote.
o Fixes to the Emacs mode.
o Fixes to compilation warnings.
o Generational GC is broken on SPARC and is now disabled.
o When compiling a 32-bit version on a 64-bit system, detection of
which packages to install was improved.
NEWS FROM 3.2 TO 3.2.1
o All built-in packages can be disabled with a configure option like
--disable-gdbm or --disable-complex.
o All tools support --verbose.
o Fixed bugs in the distributed gnu-smalltalk.pc file.
o Improved portability to Solaris.
o Many bug fixes to UDP sockets. In particular, daragrams received from
a socket can be placed directly onto another socket using #nextPut:.
o Many improvements to VisualGST.
o Each test in the testsuite has a 1-minute timeout.
o The undocumented DynamicVariable class in GNU Smalltalk 3.2 is now
documented, but it had a small change in the implementation. The
#defaultValue class method is not present anymore, and is replaced by
#valueIfAbsent:. Subclasses can override #value to obtain the
effect of #valueIfAbsent:.
The class has also been rewritten and is much faster now.
NEWS FROM 3.1 TO 3.2
Backwards-incompatible bug fixes and changes:
o Collection>>#anyOne gives an error if the receiver is empty.
o "aNumber raisedToInteger: 0" will raise an exception if and only if
aNumber is not a floating-point value. This was backwards in previous
versions.
o Interval>>#first and Interval>>#last give an error if the interval is
empty (i.e. if start > stop and the step is positive, or start < stop
and the step is negative).
o SequenceableCollection>>#sortBy: was renamed to #sort:. The old message
is _not_ provided for backwards-compatibility.
o The semantics of recursive directory descent were adjusted as follows:
1) the '.' and '..' directory entries are not passed; 2) for #do:, the
file is passed directly (3.1 used to pass another recursive decorator);
3) before the descent starts, the directory itself is passed to the block.
o The XML parser will ignore whitespace if placed in non-validating mode.
o The suggested way to instantiate an XML parser is now using
"SAXParser defaultParserClass", which will work with either of the
two available parsers (the existing Smalltalk parsers, and the Expat
bindings; see below).
New features (base classes):
o Floating-point rounding to integer is now correct also for very
large numbers; fix contributed by Nicolas Cellier.
o Methods have been added to Integer to print numbers with padding
to a specified width.
o New FilePath methods #owner:, #group:, #owner:group: allow setting
a file's owner and group.
o Sending mode, file time and owner setters to a recursive directory
decorator (such as `Directory working all') sets the mode/time/owner
on all files under the path.
o Speedups for hashed collections
o String>>#subStrings: accepts a single separator character or also, in
accordance with ANSI, a String holding a list of separators.
o The old instance-based exception handling has been removed. Standard
ANSI class-based exceptions have been available since GNU Smalltalk 1.8.2.
o The text-based #inspect method is now available also as
Object>>#examine and Object>>#examineOn:, so that it will also work
on arbitrary streams and will be available when a GUI is loaded.
Contributed by Stefan Schmiedl.
New features (tools):
o gst-convert can emit Squeak fileouts.
o New graphical interface VisualGST, loaded with gst-browser. The old
browser is still available, but obsolete.
o New ProfilerTools package for callgraph profiling of Smalltalk programs.
A companion gst-profile tool will create profiles in callgrind-compatible
format. Contributed by Derek Zhou.
o Packages can be downloaded and updated directly from the network. The
repository of packages is at http://smalltalk.gnu.org/project; the
repository holds the location of the package.xml files, which point to
the svn or git URL of the code.
In order to download a package with git, version 1.6.2 is required.
o SUnit supports expected failures.
New features (VM):
o Fixes in garbage collection heuristics provide improved performance on
programs allocating many long-lived objects. Contributed by Derek Zhou.
o Floating-point numbers are now read correctly.
o In idle times, GNU Smalltalk will perform incremental garbage
collection. When it finishes, GNU Smalltalk will consume zero CPU.
o Mostly rewritten Windows port. It should mostly work except for
sockets. The socket code will be rewritten (for all platforms)
for 3.3 anyway.
o Support for one-way become (Object>>#becomeForward:)
o The millisecond clock uses CLOCK_MONOTONIC where available.
New features (packages):
o Many improvements to the Gtk bindings.
o NetClients supports ESMTP commands.
o New goodie, the SandstoneDb object persistence framework.
o Swazoo upgraded to version 2.2, plus local fixes.
o The Complex package uses numerically stable algorithms
o The Continuations package provides delimited continuations via
BlockClosure>>#shift and BlockClosure>>#reset. Both methods accept
a block (1-arg for shift, 0-arg for reset).
o An XML pull parser is included as package XML-PullParser. The package
is based on the VisualWorks and Squeak pull parsers by Anthony Blakey
and Ken Treis.
o In addition to the validating XML parser, a non-validating Expat-based
parser is available in package XML-Expat. The Expat parser is
experimental, but it is very fast and supports both pull and push
operation.
Bug fixes:
o Code running as a Generator now honors exception handlers outside the
Generator block.
o Fixed copying of Dictionary to not share the underlying associations.
o Fixed ##() expressions that return a block
o EPIPE is handled correctly.
o Running on kernels without SOCK_CLOEXEC support will not fail
even if the VM was compiled on a kernel that supported it.
o The Sockets package failed to initialize when the machine was not
connected to the network; this has been fixed.
o The Transcript now uses a RecursionLock. This fixes crashes when
an exception occurred while printing a backtrace.
Miscellaneous:
o GNU Smalltalk now does not rely anymore on specific (old) versions
of libtool.
o GNU Smalltalk tries to enable Emacs modes automatically on systems
that support a site-lisp/site-start.d directory.
o REPL autocompletion includes all symbols including unary messages
(and variable names).
o Process-local variables are now stored in an IdentityDictionary rather
than a LookupTable.
Overview of changes from 0.8.4 to 0.8.5
=======================================
* Specification changes
- Support colon separated multiple load paths with scm_set_lib_path().
- Rewrote var_export() to use smart_str rather than output buffering,

Suppport conditional PLIST inclusion of the expected egg file, because
python2.4 distutils does not create them but later versions do. (Note
that PRINT_PLIST_AWK production is not working, probably due to order
of substitution.)
Earlier patch reviewed by wiz@.
egg info files in non-egg python distributions.
Add a comment that PY_NO_EGG appears wrong. Obviously there is a
reason it was added, but we need to figure out why and if it's still
true.
Import textual Racket version as lang/racket-textual.

2.49 (2010-07-07)
=================
User visible changes
--------------------

* FFI:OPEN-FOREIGN-LIBRARY now accepts the :REQUIRE argument.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/dffi.html#dffi-open-lib> for details.
* New user variable CUSTOM:*USER-LIB-DIRECTORY* is respected by REQUIRE
and used by "clisp-link install".
Dynamic modules are now the default build option.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/require.html> and
<http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/clisp-link.html> for details.
* Function RENAME-FILE now accepts :IF-EXISTS argument which determines
the action when the destination exists, unless, of course, *ANSI* is T.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/file-func.html#rename-file> for details.
* The replacement value entered by the user in STORE-VALUE and USE-VALUE
restarts is now EVALuated.
* The old user variable CUSTOM:*PRINT-CLOSURE* now controls interpreted

(lp#533470).
* bug fix: TRACE :ENCAPSULATE NIL now works on ppc/linux.
ECL 10.4.1:
===========
* Bugs fixed:
- Fixed offset problems in READ/WRITE-SEQUENCE.
- In multithreaded ECL, the signal servicing thread was not created
due to a stale debug statement.
- The tool 'ecl-config' contained unsubstituted values, such as @LDRPATH@
because these variablesls had been renamed in the autoconf file.
- The reimplementation of DIRECTORY introduced a bug in pathnames with ending
double wildcars, such as "/foo/**/".
- EXT:SAFE-EVAL (or cl_safe_eval in C) would attempt to start the debugger
when an error was signaled.
- The logical hostname EXT: did not have a pathname translation relative to
that of SRC:
- After loading the compiler, the COMMON-LISP package was left unlocked
against changes.
- ECL can build again itself using a C++ compiler (--with-cxx thus works).
- ecl_make_file_stream_from_fd() did not set the right mode in the stream
structure.
- ECL did not understand type declarations that involved symbol macros.
- (SETF STREAM-EXTERNAL-FORMAT) inserted the wrong format type in some cases.
* Visible changes:
- The source location annotator records the original pathnames instead of
truenames. This allows Slime to find out the ECL sources even if they
have been moved.
- The signal servicing thread now carries the name SI:SIGNAL-SERVICING, which
is different from the name of the threads that are created to actually
handle those signals. Users should avoid killing SI:SIGNAL-SERVICING.
- FFI:CLINES admits the notation @lisp-object, just like FFI:C-INLINE. The
result is that @lisp-object gets replaced with a pointer to the given
lisp object, created at run time.
- Gray streams implement a new generic function, GRAY:STREAM-FILE-DESCRIPTOR
which is used by SERVE-EVENT to gather the C file descriptor or Windows
handle used to wait on input from the device.
- ECL restores the habit of installing manual pages for ecl and ecl-config.
- We have removed the obsolete versions of the documentation files. The
up to date documentation now lives in a separate source repository,
as explained in http://ecls.sourceforge.net/download.html
- The encoding :DEFAULT implies looking up in the special variable
EXT:*DEFAULT-EXTERNAL-FORMAT* the actual value of the encoding, which may be
a known one, or :pass-through.
- LOAD now accepts the keyword argument :EXTERNAL-FORMAT
* ASDF:
- ECL's contributed modules and ECL's compiler can now be used in standalone
programs, for they are now stored both in FASL form and as statically linked
libraries.
- ASDF:MAKE-BUILD takes a new keyword argument, :MOVE-HERE, that allows moving
the files that ASDF creates to the current directory. :MOVE-HERE can be the
boolean value T, in which case the files are output at ./asdf-output/ or a
pathname designator with the actual destination.
- ASDF:MAKE-BUILD admits a new type, :BINARY, which creates a standalone
system (*.asd) accompanied by two binary files, statically linked library
(.a or .lib), and a FASL (*.fasb). This can be used, to replace existing
systems with precompiled ones.
New in version 1.0.39
- bug fix: Backtrace from undefined function on x86 and x86-64
now show the calling frame.
- bug fix: linkage-table entries on PPC now no longer overflow
their space allocation (potentially causing crashes if they
are written out of order).
- bug fix: Scrub control stack after scavenging in gencgc on
non-x86oid platforms, preventing the GC from seeing stale
pointers on the control stack in subsequent GCs (which would,
and does, break invariants).
- bug fix: 32-bit unicode external formats now work on big-endian systems.
- bug fix: Literal characters with code points greater than
about 32767 now work on PPC UNICODE builds.
- bug fix: Any noise left by SSE operations (sqrt and
conversions) in the high order bits are explicitly cleared
out. In some contrived situations, this could lead to wrong
results in mixed real/complex float arithmetic.
- bug fix: Fix function/macro redefinition warnings when
building with clisp. (#576787, thanks to Josh Elsasser)
- new platform: experimental support for ppc/openbsd (thanks to
Josh Elsasser).
- bug fix: Floating-point traps now work on ppc/linux.
Changes in 1.6.0_20 (6u20)
* OlsonData 2010b
* A Java Network Launch Protocol (JNLP) file without a codebase parameter, such
as the following, will no longer work with the Java SE 6 update 20 release.
<jnlp spec="0.2 1.0" href="draw.jnlp">
This means that developers must specify the codebase parameter in a JNLP file.
See the following example:
<jnlp spec="0.2 1.0"
codebase="http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javawebstart/apps/"
href="draw.jnlp">
* This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities.
For more information, please see Oracle Security Alert for CVE-2010-0886
Changes in 1.6.0_19 (6u19)
* OlsonData 2010b
* Root Certificates

* VisualVM 1.2
* Java DB 10.5.3.0
* Performance Improvements
* Deployment Updates
* JSR-173 StAX 1.2 API Upgrade
* Bug Fixes
* New compile option '-x'. This causes the compiler to produce an
executable program. '-fmain' is deprecated.
* Remove long option --verbose. Use '-v' for verbosity. Problem is
with getopt_long_only which does not like eg. -mv
* New conformity option -std=bs2000.
* FUNCTION is implemented. See cobc/reserved.c for a list of what is
implemented.
* Nested programs are partially supported.
* LINAGE is implemented.

* New config variables -
* Support for non-gcc compilers.
* Large file support, system dynamic loading and Berkeley DB inclusion
are default for the configure.
* New configure option --with-patch-level=<n>
* At run time, version checking is done. ie. When executing/loading
Cobol programs, the version (eg. 0.33) and the patch level (eg. 0)
are checked against the OC library version/patch level.
* Libtool is not required for systems that support native dynamic
loading. This includes Linux, Cygwin and MingW amongst others.
* Note to developers : See README for required software versions.
pulseaudio plugin unless option selected. Option off by default
so no change to default package build.
Fixes build if you happen to have pulseaudio package installed when
building.
==================================
New features and changes since 2.3
==================================
(1) Maude 2.4 provides an order-sorted Ax-unification algorithm for
all order-sorted theories (CSigma, E U Ax) such that:
- the signature Sigma is preregular modulo Ax;
- the axioms Ax associated to function symbols are as follows:
- there can be arbitrary function symbols and constants with
no equational attributes;
- the iter equational attribute can be declared for some unary
symbols;
- the comm or assoc comm attributes can be declared for some
binary function symbols, but then no other equational
attributes must be given for such symbols.
Explicitly excluded are theories with binary function symbols having
either: (i) the id:, left id:, or right id: attributes; or (ii) the
assoc attribute without the comm one; or (iii) a combination of (i)
and (ii).
(2) Unification is reflected in the META-LEVEL module by two descent
functions:
op metaUnify : Module UnificationProblem Nat Nat ~>
UnificationPair? [special (...)].
op metaDisjointUnify : Module UnificationProblem Nat Nat ~>
UnificationTriple? [special (...)].
(3) Statements (rule, equations and membership axioms) can now take a
print attribute. In print attribute mode, when a statement is executed
the items in its print attribute are printed, with variables taking
their value in the current substitution.
(4) Parsing of file names in the commands load, in, cd and pushd now
allows spaces using either of two syntactic conventions:
If the file name starts with " then all following characters will be
taken literally up to the terminating ", line feed or form feed.
If a file name starts with other than ", the following escape
sequences are recognized
\\ becomes \
\<space> becomes <space>
\" becomes "
(5) For operators in the C, CU, CI and CUI theories, if both arguments
are the same, the rewrite, srewrite and search commands and the model
checker will only consider one of the arguments for that step since
only one rewriting step is made per pass, the choice of argument is
irrelevant. This already happened for operators in the AC and ACU
theories. The frewrite command still always considers all arguments
even if they are identical since multiple rewriting steps can happen
in each pass.
(6) The GNU libsigsegv library is used to distinguigh between true
segmentation faults and stack overflows and so stack overflows are now
reported with an informative message.
(7) Several optimizations, bug fixes and improvements.
Changes since 1.2 release:
- Try to fetch X86 CPU identification using "cpuid" instruction
- Detect Ubuntu version
- Only use 64-bit libraries when running on 64-bit kernel

Scott L. Burson <Scott@coral8.com>
* fix a bug in arithmetics (mod)
* fix a bug in the FD solver (under 64 bits machines)
Changes in Yap-6.0.5:
- Very large programs: indexing very large DBs requires very large
intermediate data-structures. malloc is changed to avoid
memory fragmentation.
- Heap data-structures: there was some confusion about what should be
going through save/restore and atom-gc, and what is local to a
run. Fixed that by two files describing the two types: global
variables and code-space data structures.
- SWI emulation cleanup: some builti-ins (like predsort/3, plus/3) are
now in YAP proper, the file was cleaned up and made to rely more on
Changes in Yap-6.0.4:
Overhaul/cleanup of the attributed variable and coroutining code:
- attributed variables now don't have a separate stack; instead,
they are allocated as global variables.
- Prolog code for attributed variables cleaned up: layers now
are engine, hprolog/SWI attvars, freeze and SICStus emulation
libraries
Changes in Yap-6.0.3:

SWI foreign interface, and many built-ins, ports of SWI
packages include jpl, chr, clpfd, clpr, sgml, prolog_xref,
swi-minisat interface, and plunit;
- yap-6 also includes a really cool new language called ProbLog.
Changes in Yap-5.1.4:

Notable changes in SWI-Prolog 5.11.0:
* ODBC now properly handles locale. This means you can
use it with Unicode if you use a UTF-8 based locale.
* Recently reported manifest problems around xpce should be
fixed with help from Degski.
* Message queues can now be destroyed while they have suspended
writers, making pipe-like cooperation between threads much easier.
* Using set_prolog_flag(qcompile, auto), you can ask the system
to automatically maintain quick-load versions of your source-files.
This can greatly improve development comfort for really large
applications.
* Jeff Rosenwald contributed an interface for Google protocol buffers
Notable changes in SWI-Prolog 5.9.10:
* A lot of stuff has been added to enhance the compatibility to SICStus.
This involves some changes to the kernel, some additions to the libraries
and starting and populating a SICStus emulation layer. All this was
initiated by the with to make the Alpino NLP parser suite
(http://www.let.rug.nl/vannoord/alp/Alpino/) available for SWI-Prolog.
Thanks to Gertjan van Noord, this is now almost reality (there
are some remaining tweaks, notably with the Tcl/Tk interface).
* Also various enhancements and fixes to the tabbed-editing support for
the built-in editor.
Submitted by Peter Bex on IRC.
Changes in 4.5.0
- internal fixes of handling of alternative installation-prefix
in setup-api
- certain compiler-warnings that are in really just notes
and don't indicate a possible error (like reimport of
identifiers) are only shown with -S or in verbose mode
- fixed handling of VARDIR in `chicken-install' (thanks to
Davide Puricelli)
- `chicken-install -test' doesn't runs tests for dependencies
- when a non-else clause follows an else-clause in `cond',
`case' or `select' a warning (note) is shown in verbose
mode
- removed the deprecated `define-extension' and
`define-compiled-syntax'
- `chicken-uninstall' now always asks before removing
extensions, unless `-force' is given
- improved performance of keyword-argument processing slightly
- `export' outside of a module definition has no effect
- `number->string' now accepts arbitrary bases between 2 and 16
(thanks to Christian Kellermann)
- fixed `standard-extension' in `setup-api' module
- literal constants keep their identity, even when inlined
- Unit library: added `fxodd?' and `fxeven?'
- All hardcoded special forms have been replaced with
syntax definitions that expand into internal forms, this
allows redefinition and shadowing of all Scheme core forms
- faster implementations of `get' and `put!'
- faster implementation of `assq' in unsafe mode
- the `-sx' option prefixes each output line with `;'
- slightly better expansion performance
- more documentation of the C API (thanks to Peter Bex)
- `module' supports a shorthand form that refers directly
to a file to be included as the module body
- added runtime option `-:G' to force GUI mode (on platforms
that distinguish between GUI and non-GUI applications)
- removed the unsafe runtime library (`libuchicken'), this
simplifies and speeds up the build and reduces the risk
of executables loading library units from different
variants of the runtime system
- removed the `-unsafe-libraries' option from `chicken'
and `csc'
- removed bootstrapping target and bootstrapping files from
development repository; to bootstrap the system, either
use a release or development-snapshot tarball or fetch
a statically linked precompiled `chicken' binary from
http://chicken.wiki.br/chicken-projects/bootstrap/
- Jim Ursetto provided some fixes for building universal
binaries on Mac OS X
- `csc' now compiles and links Windows resource (.rc) files
when given on the command line
- `chicken-install' and `chicken-uninstall' have an embedded
manifest that suppresses the elevation dialog on Windows
Vista and later when UAC is activated (Thanks to Thomas Chust)
- the `install' program is not used in the build on mingw
and mingw/MSYS platforms, since this is broken on older
mingw versions
- line-number-information is now properly handled (in the
few places where it is used) correctly for included files;
the source file is given in trace-output in addition to
the line number
- removed compiler warning for shared objects compiled in
unsafe mode
- unboxing is now only done in unsafe mode
- in unsafe mode, pointer-accessors from the `lolevel' unit
are now handled intrinsically by the compiler
- `chicken-install' accepts now relative pathnames for the
`-prefix' option
- `define-record-type' now optionally allows using SRFI-17
setters as record-field modifiers
- `integer?' returns `#f' for NaN and infinite numbers
- `csc' now has an `-no-elevation' option for embedding a
manifest that prevents the elevation dialog on Windows
Vista and later when IAC is activated
- the `,d' csi command displays qualified symbols properly
- symbols starting with the `#\#' character trigger an
error when encountered by the reader
- Unit posix: `glob->regexp' now always returns a regular
expression object or optionally an SRE
- Unit posix: `terminal-port?' and `terminal-size' have been
implemented for Windows, the latter always returns `0 0',
though (thanks to Jim Ursetto)
- Unit regex: `regexp' now accepts a regular expression
object as argument
- Unit regex: removed `glob?'
- fixed bug in `chicken-install'/`chicken-uninstall' and
`chicken-status' that prevented collapsed command-line
options to be handled correctly.
- disabled runpath-fix for deployed applications for netbsd
(but resurrected providing a runpath at all, thanks to
Peter Bex)
- Peter Bex provided documentation for the `C_closure' C API
function
The [1]GNU project and the GCC developers are pleased to announce the
release of GCC 4.4.4.
This release is a bug-fix release, containing fixes for regressions in
GCC 4.4.3 relative to previous releases of GCC.
PR pkg/43237 by NAKAJIMA Yoshihiro.
This isn't too useful yet due to an incompatibility (apparently
a bug in gcc-4.1) which will be fixed soon.

Core and Builtins
-----------------
- Issue #7309: Fix unchecked attribute access when converting
UnicodeEncodeError, UnicodeDecodeError, and UnicodeTranslateError to
strings.
- Issue #7649: "u'%c' % char" now behaves like "u'%s' % char" and raises a
UnicodeDecodeError if 'char' is a byte string that can't be decoded using
the default encoding.
- Issue #5677: Explicitly forbid write operations on read-only file objects,
and read operations on write-only file objects. On Windows, the system C
library would return a bogus result; on Solaris, it was possible to crash
the interpreter. Patch by Stefan Krah.
- Issue #4978: Passing keyword arguments as unicode strings is now allowed.
- Issue #7819: Check sys.call_tracing() arguments types.
- Issue #7788: Fix an interpreter crash produced by deleting a list
slice with very large step value.
- Issue #7561: Operations on empty bytearrays (such as `int(bytearray())`)

returning NULL. The macro now returns a statically allocated empty
string instead.
- Issue #7604: Deleting an unset slotted attribute did not raise an
AttributeError.
- Issue #7413: Passing '\0' as the separator to datetime.datetime.isoformat()
used to drop the time part of the result.

thread, and mutating it from another one. Patch by Scott Dial.
- Issue #1747858: Fix lchown & fchown to work with large uid's and gid's on
64-bit platforms.
Library
-------
- Issue #7250: Fix info leak of os.environ across multi-run uses of

Also, raise ValueError rather than TypeError when an unknown TIPC address
type is specified. Patch by Brian Curtin.
- Issue #6939: Fix file I/O objects in the `io` module to keep the original
file position when calling `truncate()`. It would previously change the
file position to the given argument, which goes against the tradition of
ftruncate() and other truncation APIs. Patch by Pascal Chambon.
- Issue #7773: Fix an UnboundLocalError in platform.linux_distribution() when
the release file is empty.
- Issue #7748: Since unicode values are supported for some metadata options
in Distutils, the DistributionMetadata get_* methods will now return an utf-8
encoded string for them. This ensure that the upload and register commands
send the right values to PyPI without any error.
- Issue #1670765: Prevent email.generator.Generator from re-wrapping
headers in multipart/signed MIME parts, which fixes one of the sources of
invalid modifications to such parts by Generator.

gcc when it has a fully qualified configuration prefix. Initial patch
by Arfrever.
- Issue #7071: byte-compilation in Distue.

renaming of `cPickle` to `pickle`. The warning was annoying since there's
no alternative to cPickle if you care about performance. Patch by Florent
Xicluna.
- Issue #745tch by
Victor Stinner.
- Issue #6511: ZipFile now raises BadZipfile (instead of an IOError) when
opening an empty or very small file.
- Issue #7552: Removed line feed in the base64 Authorization header in
the Distutils upload command to avoid an ers on long passwords. Initial patch by JP St. Pierre.

- Issue #7318: multiprocessing now uses a timeout when it fails to establish
a connection with another process, rather than looping endlessly. The
default timeout is 20 seconds, which should be amply sufficient for
local connections.
- Issue #7282: Fix a memory leak when an RLock was used in a thread other
than those started through `threading.Thread` (for example, using
`thread.start_new_thread()`.
- Issue #7264: Fix a possible deadlock when deallocating thread-local objects
which are part of a reference cycle.
- Issue #7249: Methods of io.BytesIO now allow `long` as well as `int`
arguments.
- Issue #6665: Fix fnmatch to properly match filenames with newlines in them.
- Issue #1008086: Fixed socket.inet_aton() to always return 4 bytes even on
LP64 platforms (most 64-bit Linux, bsd, unix systems).
- Issue #7246 & Issue #7208: getpass now properly flushes input before
reading from stdin so that existing input does not confuse it and
lead to incorrect entry or an IOError. It also properly flushes it
afterwards to avoid the terminal echoing the input afterwards on
OSes such as Solaris.
- Issue #7244: itertools.izip_longest() no longer ignores exceptions
raised during the formation of an output tuple.

sure that they accept an int or long as the second argument. Also
fix buggy handling of large arguments (those with coefficient longer
than the current precision) in shift and rotate.
- Issue #7082: When falling back to the MIME 'name' parameter, the
correct place to look for it is the Content-Type header.
- Issue #7099: Decimal.is_normal now returns True for numbers with exponent
larger than emax.
- Issue #7205: Fix a possible deadlock when using a BZ2File object from
several threads at once.
- Issue #7048: Force Decimal.logb to round its result when that result
is too large to fit in the current precision.
- Issue #1488943: difflib.Differ() doesn't always add hints for tab characters
- Issue #5037: Proxy the __unicode__ special method to __unicode__ instead of
__str__.
- Issue #7481: When a threading.Thread failed to start it would leave the
instance stuck in initial state and present in threading.enumerate().

os.waitpid and os.read system calls where appropriate.
Extension Modules
-----------------

on OSX.
- Expat: Fix DoS via XML document with malformed UTF-8 sequences
(CVE_2009_3560).
- Issue #7242: On Solaris 9 and earlier calling os.fork() from within a
thread could raise an incorrect RuntimeError about not holding the import
lock. The import lock is now reinitialized after fork.
- Issue #7999: os.setreuid() and os.setregid() would refuse to accept a -1
parameter on some platforms such as OS X.
Build
-----
- Issue #3920, #7903: Define _BSD_SOURCE on OpenBSD 4.4 through 4.9.
- Issue #7661: Allow ctypes to be built from a non-ASCII directory path.
Patch by Florent Xicluna.
- Issue #7589: Only build the nis module when the correct header files are
found.
- Switch to OpenSSL 0.9.8l on Windows.

compiles correctly under gcc on x86-64. This fixes a reported
problem with the --with-tsc build on x86-64.
- Ensure that it possible to build extensions for the default
binary distribution on OSX 10.6 even when the user does not
have the 10.4u SDK installed.

compiler might use the wrong library.
Documentation
-------------
- Updating `Using Python` documentation to include description of CPython's
-J, -U and -X options.
- Update python manual page (options -B, -O0, -s, environment variables
PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE, PYTHONNOUSERSITE).
Tests
-----
- issue #7728: test_timeout was changed to use test_support.bind_port
instead of a hard coded port.
- Issue #7498: test_multiprocessing now uses test_support.find_unused_port
instead of a hardcoded port number in test_rapid_restart.
- Issue #7431: use TESTFN in test_linecache instead of trying to create a
file in the Lib/test directory, which might be read-only for the
user running the tests.
- Issue #7324: add a sanity check to regrtest argument parsing to
catch the case of an option with no handler.
- Issue #7295: Do not use a hardcoded file name in test_tarfile.
- Issue #7270: Add some dedicated unit tests for multi-thread synchronization
primitives such as Lock, RLock, Condition, Event and Semaphore.
- Issue #7055: test___all__ now greedily detects all modules which have an
__all__ attribute, rather than using a hardcoded and incomplete list.
0.9.9
-----
New features:
- C++ struct declarations, 'new' operator, and del for C++ delete.
- As well as the 'not None' modifier for extension type arguments, there
is now 'or None' to explicitly allow passing None. It is planned to make
'not None' the default in a future version. For now, a warning is issued
(once per Pyrex run) if you do not specify one or the other.
- Extension types may have a 'nogc' option to suppress GC support.
Modifications:
- Exceptions caught by an except clause are no longer put into the thread
state and cannot be retrieved using sys.exc_info(). To access the caught
exception, it must be bound to a name in the except clause. A third name
can be supplied to capture the traceback.
- PyString_InternFromString is now exposed under the name 'cintern' because
it is not a complete substitute for 'intern' (it can't handle strings
containing null bytes). [John Arbash Meinel]
- Disabled size check for cimported types because it was generating too
many false positives in the field.
- Added __fastcall calling convention. Also no longer assuming that an
unspecified calling convention is the same as __cdecl.
- Operations between signed and unsigned ints of the same size now have
an unsigned result.
- Py_ssize_t now ranked between long and long long.
- Declaration of __new__ in an extension type is now an error, in
preparation for introducing new semantics.
- Added size_t type, and made sizeof() return it.
Bug fixes:
- When casting the result of a function call to a Python type, the
function could be called twice. [David Martinez]
- __Pyx_GetException was not taking account of the fact that the traceback
could be NULL.
- sizeof(module.typename) did not work. [Daniele Pianu]
changes in sbcl-1.0.38 relative to sbcl-1.0.37:
* incompatible change: Thread names are now restricted to SIMPLE-STRINGs
like for any other thread-related datastructure, MUTEX, etc. (lp#547095)
* deprecation: the SB-QUEUE contrib was merged into the SB-CONCURRENCY
contrib module. New code should depend on SB-CONCURRENCY, not SB-QUEUE.
* deprecation: SB-THEAD:GET-MUTEX was deprecated in favor of
SB-THREAD:GRAB-MUTEX.
* new contributed module: SB-CONCURRENCY is a new contrib; it's supposed to
contain additional data structures and tools for concurrent programming;
at the moment it contains a lock-free queue, and a lock-free mailbox
implementation.
* new feature: added SB-THREAD:GRAB-MUTEX; it's like the now deprecated
GET-MUTEX but takes &key rather than &optional parameters. Also added
:TIMEOUT argument to GRAB-MUTEX on non-sb-lutex platforms like Linux and
BSD.
* new feature: added SB-THREAD:TRY-SEMAPHORE, a non-blocking variant of
SB-THREAD:WAIT-ON-SEMAPHORE.
* new feature: SB-EXT:ATOMIC-DECF has been added as a companion to
SB-EXT:ATOMIC-INCF.
* new feature: a CANCEL-DEADLINE is associated with DEADLINE-TIMEOUT
conditions to defer the deadline for forever.
* enhancement: *STANDARD-OUTPUT*, *STANDARD-INPUT*, and *ERROR-OUTPUT* are
now bivalent.
* enhancement: errors from NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD and
NO-PRIMARY-METHOD now have a RETRY restart available to retry the
generic function call.
* enhancement: SB-BSD-SOCKET improvements
** sockets and socket streams now have a more informative printed
representation based on the corresponding SOCKET-NAME and
SOCKET-PEERNAME.
** SOCKET-MAKE-STREAM once more supports the :AUTO-CLOSE option.
(lp#540413)
** SOCKET-CLOSE now accepts :ABORT argument, which is passed on to
CL:CLOSE when appropriate, and no longer disassociates the stream
from the socket if close failed. (lp#543951)
* improvements to the instrumenting profiler
** new feature: report per-function GC overhead. (thanks to John Fremlin)
** optimization: counters no longer use locks for the overflow mode.
** bug fix: whenever a profiling counter wrapped into overflow mode, it
incurred an off-by-one miscount.
* enhancement: improved MAKE-HASH-TABLE documentation (lp#543473)
* enhancement: improved DEFMETHOD pretty-printing.
* enhancement: perform range reduction when arguments are too large for
x87's transcendentals (instead of returning 0). (lp#327192)
* enhancement: eliminate some spurious TYPE-WARNINGs. Should help with
some of CL-PPCRE's macros. (lp#570079)
* enhancement: our machine code is slightly less hostile to valgrind on
x86-64.
* enhancement: up-to-date versions of NetBSD-current are supported. (Thanks
to Robert Swindells and Aleksej Saushev)
* bug fix: correct restart text for the continuable error in MAKE-PACKAGE.
* bug fix: a rare case of startup-time page table corruption.

* bug fix: misoptimization of multiplication by one in
(SB-C::FLOAT-ACCURACY 0) policies.
* bug fix: miscounts in SB-PROFILE.
* bug fix: Fix lost wakeup bug between SB-THREAD:CONDITION-WAIT and
CONDITION-NOTIFY on Linux. See threads "lost wakeup in condition-wait /
condition-notify" (Feb 2010) and "Condition-Wait, Deadline handler, waking
up itself" (March 2010) for further details.
* bug fix: allow forward FIND and POSITION on lists to elide checking :END
against length of the list if the element is found before the specified
END is reached. (thanks to Alec Berryman, lp#554385)
* bug fix: errors signalled during package graph modification no longer
block FIND-SYMBOL and FIND-PACKAGE in other threads. (lp#511072)
* bug fix: SB-POSIX build was broken when SBCL was compiled without the
:SB-DOC feature. (lp#552564)
* bug fix: SB-INTROSPECT build issues on GENGC/PPC. (lp#490490)
* bug fix: more robust runtime executable path detection. (lp#375549)
* bug fix: GCD always returns positive values. (lp#413680)
* bug fix: Converting division to multiplication by reciprocal handles
denormals.
* bug fix: We were too eager in eliding range reduction tests on x87.
The maximal magnitude is 2^63, not 2^64.

types) could result in type mismatches during compilation.
changes in sbcl-1.0.37 relative to sbcl-1.0.36:
* enhancement: Backtrace from THROW to uncaught tag on x86oids now shows
stack frame thrown from.
* enhancement: WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT :POLICY allows restricting changes to
compiler optimization qualities inside dynamic extent of its body.
* enhancement: LOAD-LOGICAL-PATHNAME-TRANSLATIONS can be used to load
translations from SYS:SITE;<HOST>.TRANSLATIONS.NEWEST (thanks to Michael
Weber)
* optimization: SLOT-VALUE and (SETF SLOT-VALUE) take advantage of
constraint propgation, allowing better compilation eg. when used to
access structures with WITH-SLOTS. (lp#520366)
* optimization: the compiler is now more aware of the type of the underlying
storage vector for multidimensional simple arrays resulting in better code
for accessing such arrays.
* optimization: passing NIL as the environment argument to TYPEP no longer
inhibits optimizing it. (lp#309788)
* optimization: more efficient register usage when handling single-float
arguments on x86-64. (thanks to Lutz Euler)
* optimization: ADJUST-ARRAY and STABLE-SORT on vectors no longer use
pre-allocated temporary vectors. (lp#496249)

SB-EXT:RESTRICT-COMPILER-POLICY into account. (lp#313337)
* bug fix: Comma inside a backquoted array or structure resulted in nonsense
values instead of signaling an error. (lp#309093)

(lp#528807)
* bug fix: More consistent warnings and notes for ignored DYNAMIC-EXTENT
declarations (lp#497321)

and failed to detect circular lists (lp#452008)
* bug fix: leakage from ~/.asdf-install into the ASDf-INSTALL contrib build
(lp#538974)
* bug fix: LOOP OF-TYPE VECTOR compile-time error. (lp#540186)

Changelog:
20091220
+ bump version to 1.3.4
+ update INSTALL and README files.
+ improve configure checks for math library.
+ change test for NaN to use sqrt() rather than log() to work around
cygwin's partly broken math functions.
+ add/use isnanf() to work around other breakage in cygwin math
functions.
+ add configure check for _XOPEN_SOURCE, etc., needed to define
proper function pointer for sigaction, e.g., on Tru64.
+ add check for sigaction function pointer, whose POSIX form is
absent from the cygwin header.
+ extend MAWKBINMODE, adding a third bit which when set will suppress
the change for RS or ORS to use CR/LF rather than LF. This is used
for MinGW to make the "check" rule in a build work, for instance.
+ add configure check for functions used for pipe/system calls, e.g.,
for MinGW where these are absent.
+ add runtime check for floating-point underflow exceptions
+ fix an old 1.3.3 bug in re_split(), which did not check properly for
the end of buffer; this broke on Tru64.
+ drop obsolete config-user, v7 and atarist subdirectories
+ improve configure checks for sigaction, making the definitions used
in fpe_check.c consistent with matherr.c
+ build fixes for AIX, Tru64.
+ add configure check for 'environ'.
+ remove redundant setlocale() calls; only LC_CTYPE and LC_NUMERIC
are used.
20091213
+ add makedeps.sh script to aid in updating object dependencies in
Makefile.in
+ use "mkdir -p" rather than mkdirs.sh (suggested by Aleksey Cheusov).
+ reformatted this file, to simplify extraction of contributor names.
+ update config.guess and config.sub
> patches by Jonathan Nieder:
+ modify CF_DISABLE_ECHO autoconf macro to ensure that command lines
in Makefile.in begin with a tab.
+ the makefile does not use $(MAKE); remove the SET_MAKE substitution.
+ add some files to the "make clean" rule, in case make gets
interrupted in the middle of a rule.
+ add a maintainer-clean rule to the makefile, to remove files which
could be regenerated.
+ fix an unescaped "-" in man/mawk.1
+ remove an unneeded cast in bi_funct.c
+ fix an unused parameter warning in matherr.c
+ drop unused line_no parameter from compile_error() and its callers.
+ convert makescan.c to ANSI C, do further cleanup of that file.
+ split-out scancode.h from scan.h
(ok to update during freeze by wiz@)
Extension Modules
-----------------
- expat: Fix DoS via XML document with malformed UTF-8 sequences
(CVE_2009_3560).
- expat: Fix DoS via malformed XML (CVE-2009-3720).
Core and builtins
-----------------
- Issue #6990: Fix threading.local subclasses leaving old state around
after a reference cycle GC which could be recycled by new locals.
Library
-------
- Issue #7403: logging: Fixed possible race condition in lock creation.
- Issue #5068: Fixed the tarfile._BZ2Proxy.read() method that would loop
forever on incomplete input. That caused tarfile.open() to hang when used
with mode 'r' or 'r:bz2' and a fileobj argument that contained no data or
partial bzip2 compressed data.
the extensions were not actually built since necessary libraries were not found due to pkgsrc
framework, but better be explicit
fix MESSAGE_SRC to use lang/php53 locations
bump PKGREVISION
Squeak 4.0 is functionally equivalent to the previous Squeak 3.10.2 release
but licensed under the MIT license original parts remaining under the Apache
license.
Current development work will be released as 4.1 as soon as possible
following the release of 4.0.
pkgsrc changes:
- move machine-independent files into "share" hierarchy;
- set licence;
- fix homepage.
