## 1.9.1 - 2020-05-12
- Add :prefix option to declare-source
- Re-enable minimal builds with the debugger.

- Add `errorf` to core.
- Add `lenprefix` combinator to PEGs.
- Add `%M`, `%m`, `%N`, and `%n` formatters to formatting functions. These are the
same as `%Q`, `%q`, `%P`, and `%p`, but will not truncate long values.
- Add `fiber/root`.
- Add beta `net/` module to core for socket based networking.
- Add the `parse` function to parse strings of source code more conveniently.

- A struct/table literal/constructor with duplicate keys will use the last value given.
Previously, this was inconsistent between tables and structs, literals and constructor functions.
- Add debugger to core. The debugger functions are only available
in a debug repl, and are prefixed by a `.`.
- Add `sort-by` and `sorted-by` to core.
- Support UTF-8 escapes in strings via `\uXXXX` or `\UXXXXXX`.

- Various bug fixes.
Version 14.3.0 (Current)
Notable Changes
REPL previews improvements with autocompletion
The output preview is changed to generate previews for autocompleted input instead of the actual input.
Pressing <enter> during a preview is now going to evaluate the whole string including the autocompleted part. Pressing <escape> cancels that behavior.
Support for Top-Level Await
It's now possible to use the await keyword outside of async functions.
These packages are susceptible to bugs when confronted with non-ASCII
characters.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=94182.
It takes some time to analyze and fix these individually, therefore they
are only marked as "needs work".
Dumb package that selects and installs a binary rust distribution
based on its guess of your platform (FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux x86_64 are
all supported). These binaries are the official ones provided by
rust upstream and are the same as those provided by the `rustup` tool.
You can choose to use a binary rust distribution by setting:
RUST_TYPE=bin in mk.conf
(or source distribution with RUST_TYPE=src).
Currently, RUST_TYPE=bin by default ONLY for NetBSD-x86_64. This is
because TNF has been shown to _repeatedly_ be unable and _unwilling_ to
ensure that rust-dependent packages build properly on their
infrastructure, and NetBSD users are all suffering for it.
This was based on minskim's work in pkgsrc-wip.
It was tested by building librsvg and firefox-esr with the resulting
binaries.
pygls (pronounced like "pie glass") is a pythonic generic implementation
of the Language Server Protocol for use as a foundation for writing
language servers using Python (e.g. Python, XML, etc.). It allows
you to write your own language server in just a few lines of code.
## v1.10.3 (2020-04-25)
### 1. Bug fixes
#### Elixir
* [Code] Return `[{mod, bin}]` from `Code.compile_file/2`, `Code.require_file/2`, `Code.load_file/2`
* [Code] Make sure the formatter respects newlines before and after module attributes
* [Kernel.ParallelCompiler] Fix a bug where the parallel compiler would raise in long compilation cycles
* [Kernel.ParallelCompiler] Fix a bug where the parallel compiler would raise if some of the modules being compiled referred to a module that has been loaded directly to memory
* [Module] Fix accidental breaking change where bodiless clauses had their body value on `@on_definition` callbacks set to an empty list instead of `nil`
* [String] Undeprecate `String.normalize/2` normalize and fix infinite loop caused by certain invalid strings
#### ExUnit
* [ExUnit.Assertions] Fix pattern matching diff when matching on pinned variables
* [ExUnit.Assertions] Fix pattern matching diff when matching variable struct names
* [ExUnit.Assertions] Fix pattern matching diff when matching on the binary concat operator (`<>`) and the left side is not a literal string
* [ExUnit.Assertions] Fix pattern matching diff when matching on pseudo-vars (`__MODULE__`, `__DIR__`, etc)
#### Mix
* [mix release] Respect the `:path` option when creating a `:tar` file for releases
Changelog:
5.2.0
- Core libraries
- Fix `memory-statistics` by returning semi-space bytes and used
semi-space bytes like the documentation says. Old implementation
returned full-heap size and (full-heap - used-semi-space).
- for-each and map now behave consistently in compiled and interpreted
mode, like in SRFI-1. They now stop when the shortest list is
exhausted instead of raising an exception (fixes#1422).
- There is now a srfi-88 module which contains just the three
procedures from the (chicken keyword) module defined by the SRFI.
- A feature identifier named "srfi-88" is now registered.
- The procedures `record-printer` and `set-record-printer!` and a
corresponding SRFI-17 setter have been added. These deprecate
`define-record-printer` which isn't a "real" definition (see #1294).
- On Windows, `decompose-directory` no longer crashes when a drive
letter is present in the supplied path string.
- irregex-replace[/all] have been fixed for empty matches, so they
will no longer drop characters and ignore the replacement (#1661).
- Irregex has been updated to upstream 0.9.7, which also improves
how empty matches are treated in irregex-fold and irregex-split.
- Runtime system
- Quoted empty keywords like ||: and :|| are now read like prescribed
by SRFI-88 in the corresponding keyword mode. Symbols containing
quoted empty prefixes or suffixes like ||:abc and abc:|| will be
read correctly as symbols now (fixes#1625, thanks to Andy Bennett).
- IEEE floating point negative zero is now properly handled: it can
be read, written and distinguished by eqv? and equal?, but not =
(fixes#1627, thanks to John Cowan).
- ##sys#check-exact and its C implementations C_i_check_exact and
C_i_check_exact_2 have been deprecated (see also #1631).
- When garbage collector is manually invoked from a finalizer, raise
an error instead of hanging forever (fixes#1586).
- define-record-type will now give an error if the constructor
definition refers to field that's not listed elsewhere (see #1633)
- Added new -:hu option to set the memory usage low watermark
percentage at which the heap should be shrunk, and changed the
calculation to actually reflect this (see #1379).
- Compiler
- Fixed a bug in lfa2 pass which caused "if" or "cond" nodes to be
incorrectly unboxed if the "else" branch had a flonum result type
(#1624, thanks to Sven Hartrumpf)
- Inline files no longer refer to unexported foreign stub functions
(fixes#1440, thanks to "megane").
- In some cases, rest argument lists do not need to be reified, which
should make using optional arguments and case-lambda faster (#1623).
- Values from foreign types which have an argument or return value
converter are no longer inferred to have the Scheme type which
corresponds to the raw foreign type, which was incorrect (#1649).
- Module system
- Trying to export a foreign variable, define-inlined procedure or
define-constant variable gives a friendly error instead of saying
the variable doesn't exist (fixes#1346).
- When modules are registered, they no longer pollute the global
environment with imports made in that module (fixes#1548)
- Tools
- The new "-module-registration" options causes module registration
code to always be included in the program, even when it has also
been emitted as a separate file (for example with "-J").
- chicken-install now correctly checks server response code to avoid
interpreting error response bodies (like 404, 500) as Scheme code.
- chicken-install now follows HTTP redirects when downloading eggs.
- chicken-install will now change to the correct drive before
attempting to change to the egg directory (fixes#1647).
