jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes
fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support.
jemalloc first came into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005.
In 2010 jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer
support features such as heap profiling, Valgrind integration, and
extensive monitoring/tuning hooks. Ongoing development efforts trend
toward making jemalloc among the best allocators for a broad range of
demanding applications, and eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that
have practical repercussions for real world applications.
This is a newer version of jemalloc than the one in NetBSD's libc.

Changes in 3.4.0:
JSON, reshape, regex captures, and more
Primary features:
JSON is now a supported format for input and output. Miller handles tabular data, and JSON supports arbitrarily deeply nested data structures, so if you want general JSON processing you should use jq. But if you have tabular data represented in JSON then Miller can now handle that for you. Please see the reference page and the FAQ.
Reshape is a standard data-processing idiom, now available in Miller: http://johnkerl.org/miller/doc/reference.html#reshape
Incidentally (not part of this release, but new since the last release) Miller is now available in FreeBSD's package manager: https://www.freshports.org/textproc/miller/. A full list of distributions containing Miller may be found here.
Miller is not yet available from within Fedora/CentOS, but as a step toward this goal, an SRPM is included in this release (see file-list below).
DSL enhancements for mlr put and mlr filter:
Regex captures \0 through \9: http://johnkerl.org/miller/doc/reference.html#Regex_captures
Ternary operator in expression right-hand sides: e.g. mlr put '$y = $x < 0.5 ? 0 : 1'
Boolean literals true and false
Final semicolon is now allowed: e.g. mlr put '$x=1;$y=2;'
Environment variables are now accessible, where environment-variable names may be string literals or arbitrary expressions: mlr put '$home = ENV["HOME"]' or mlr put '$value = ENV[$name]'.
While records are still string-to-string maps for input and output, and between then statements, types are preserved between multiple statements within a put. Example: mlr put '$y = string($x); $z = $y . $y' works as expected, without requring mlr put '$y = string($x); $z = string($y) . string($y)' as before.
Bug fixes:
Mixed-format join, e.g. CSV file joined with DKVP file, was incorrectly computing default separators (IRS, IFS, IPS). This resulted in records not being joined together.
Segmentation violation on non-standard-input read of files with size an exact multiple of page size and not ending in IRS, e.g. newline. (This is less of a corner case than it sounds: for example, leave a long-running program running with output redirected to a file, then in a sleep-and-process loop, have Miller process that file. The former program's stdio library will likely be doing block-sized buffered I/O, where block sizes will often be multiples of system page size and the block will almost surely not ending a newline.)
Acknowledgements: Big thank-yous to @gregfr and @aaronwolen for feature requests including reshape and regex captures, and to @jungle-boogie for his work getting Miller into FreeBSD. Also, ongoing thanks to @0-wiz-0 for his past work on configure support, making it possible for Miller to be put to use in multiple operating systems.
3.3.2
Bootstrap sampling, EWMA, merge-fields, isnull/isnotnull functions
@johnkerl johnkerl released this on Jan 11 · 497 commits to master since this release
Bootstrap sampling in mlr bootstrap: http://johnkerl.org/miller/doc/reference.html#bootstrap. Compare to reservoir sampling in mlr sample: http://johnkerl.org/miller/doc/reference.html#sample.
Exponentially weighted moving averages in mlr step -a ewma: principally useful for smoothing of noisy time series, e.g. finely sampled system-resource utilization to give one of many possible examples. Please see http://johnkerl.org/miller/doc/reference.html#step.
"Horizontal" univariate statistics in mlr merge-fields, compared to mlr stats which is "vertical". Also allows collapsing multiple fields into one, such as in_bytes and out_bytes data fields summing to bytes_sum. This can also be done easily using mlr put. However, mlr merge-fields allows aggregation of more than just a pair of field names, and supports pattern-matching on field names. Please see http://johnkerl.org/miller/doc/reference.html#merge-fields for more information.
isnull and isnotnull functions for mlr filter and mlr put.
stats1, stats2, merge-fields, step, and top correctly handle not only missing fields (in the row-heterogeneous-data case) but also null-valued fields.
Minor memory-management improvements.

* RELEASE 1.27. (Stable.)
The release, 1.25_01, didn't blow up, so this is just
a re-release of it as a normal ("stable") version.
* Minor changes to the documentation. Nothing substantial.
* Release 1.26 had a confusing mistake in the ChangeLog.
Ignore v1.26.
2015-10-21 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
* RELEASE 1.26. Mistake. See above for change notes
between v1.25_01 and v1.27.
2015-10-16 Sean M. Burke sburke@cpan.org
* RELEASE 1.25_01.
* !DEVELOPER RELEASE!, OH GOD HELP US ALL!
* Here's a new thing that makes me nervous and hesitant, and that I've
been talking myself into for weeks:
**************************************************************
* I've switched to accepting values in the range 0x80-0x9F *
* as if they are the Windows-1252 ("ANSI") characters. *
**************************************************************
Previously they had all mapped to emptystring.
Technically, Unicode specifies those codepoints as control characters
that I've never heard of, "C1 Controls"...
...
U+0087 ESA - End of Selected Area
U+0088 HTS - Character (Horizontal) Tabulation Set
U+0089 HTJ - Character (Horizontal) Tabulation with Justification
...
( See "C1" in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_codes )
And Unidecode mapped all of those to emptystring. Now they are treated
as if you fed the Windows-1252 characters, as that is an extremely
common thing to have happen.
So if you feed character value 0x80 to it, it is taken to mean "��"
(which Unidecode then decodes as "EUR", at the moment at least).
(This doesn't interfere with the fact that U+20AC is the proper
Unicode place for the "��" to be found.)
And the smartquotes at 0x91 to 0x94, �� �� �� �� turn into ' ' " " so yaaaay!
Note that in theory, according to C1 Controls, 0x85 is "NEL: Next
Line", "Equivalent to CR+LF. Used to mark end-of-line on some IBM
mainframes."
I could map this to \n or \r\n or whatever, but I've never seen 0x85 in
use in the wild, and I never heard anyone complain about my not having
mapped it to "\n" in all the Unidecode versions since the first, in 2001.
So instead, Unidecode takes 0x85 as its Windows-1252 value, the
ellipsis "��" which of course it Unidecodes as "..."
I'm not thrilled with the idea of going off spec but I think this
should be okay, and it has massive DWIM value.
Let's hope I'm not dividing Unicode times infinity by zero and then the
whole universe will disa
That's why I'm making this a developer release. Unless anything
besplodes by November 1st, I'll re-issue this as a stable release.
Changelog:
The NSS Development Team announces the release of NSS 3.22.1
No new functionality is introduced in this release.
Notable Changes:
* NSS has been changed to use the PR_GetEnvSecure function that
was made available in NSPR 4.12
Changelog:
The NSPR 4.12 release is now available. The hg tag is
NSPR_4_12_RTM. The source tar file can be downloaded from
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/nspr/releases/v4.12/src/
NSPR 4.12 has the following bug fixes:
* added a PR_GetEnvSecure function, which attempts to detect if the program
is being executed with elevated privileges, and returns NULL if detected.
It is recommended to use this function in general purpose library code.
* fixed a memory allocation bug related to the PR_*printf functions
* exported API PR_DuplicateEnvironment, which had already been added in
NSPR 4.10.9
* added support for FreeBSD aarch64
* several minor correctness and compatibility fixes
Upstream changes:
Version 1.9.4, "Dancing In the Street" - Oct 9, 2015:
* Fixes a bug where yum state=latest would error if there were no
updates to install.
* Fixes a bug where yum state=latest did not work with wildcard package names.
* Fixes a bug in lineinfile relating to escape sequences.
* Fixes a bug where vars_prompt was not keeping passwords private by default.
* Fix ansible-galaxy and the hipchat callback plugin to check that
the host it is contacting matches its TLS Certificate.
Version 1.9.3, "Dancing In the Street" - Sep 3, 2015:
* Fixes a bug related to keyczar messing up encodings internally,
resulting in decrypted messages coming out as empty strings.
* AES Keys generated for use in accelerated mode are now 256-bit
by default instead of 128.
* Fix url fetching for SNI with python-2.7.9 or greater. SNI does
not work with python < 2.7.9. The best workaround is probably
to use the command module with curl or wget.
* Fix url fetching to allow tls-1.1 and tls-1.2 if the system's
openssl library supports those protocols
* Fix ec2_ami_search module to check TLS Certificates
* Fix the following extras modules to check TLS Certificates:
campfire
layman
librarto_annotate
twilio
typetalk
* Fix docker module's parsing of docker-py version for dev checkouts
* Fix docker module to work with docker server api 1.19
* Change yum module's state=latest feature to update all packages
specified in a single transaction. This is the same type of fix
as was made for yum's state=installed in 1.9.2 and both solves
the same problems and with the same caveats.
* Fixed a bug where stdout from a module might be blank when there
were were non-printable ASCII characters contained within it
Version 1.9.2, "Dancing In the Street" - Jun 26, 2015:
* Security fixes to check that hostnames match certificates with
https urls (CVE-2015-3908)
get_url and uri modules
url and etcd lookup plugins
* Security fixes to the zone (Solaris containers), jail (bsd
containers), and chroot connection plugins. These plugins can
be used to connect to their respective container types in leiu
of the standard ssh connection. Prior to this fix being applied
these connection plugins didn't properly handle symlinks within
the containers which could lead to files intended to be written
to or read from the container being written to or read from the
host system instead. (CVE pending)
* Fixed a bug in the service module where init scripts were being
incorrectly used instead of upstart/systemd.
* Fixed a bug where sudo/su settings were not inherited from
ansible.cfg correctly.
* Fixed a bug in the rds module where a traceback may occur due
to an unbound variable.
* Fixed a bug where certain remote file systems where the SELinux
context was not being properly set.
* Re-enabled several windows modules which had been partially
merged (via action plugins):
win_copy.ps1
win_copy.py
win_file.ps1
win_file.py
win_template.py
* Fix bug using with_sequence and a count that is zero. Also allows
counting backwards isntead of forwards
* Fix get_url module bug preventing use of custom ports with https urls
* Fix bug disabling repositories in the yum module.
* Fix giving yum module a url to install a package from on RHEL/CENTOS5
* Fix bug in dnf module preventing it from working when yum-utils
was not already installed
Version 1.9.1, "Dancing In the Street" - Apr 27, 2015:
* Fixed a bug related to Kerberos auth when using winrm with a domain account.
* Fixing several bugs in the s3 module.
* Fixed a bug with upstart service detection in the service module.
* Fixed several bugs with the user module when used on OSX.
* Fixed unicode handling in some module situations (assert and
shell/command execution).
* Fixed a bug in redhat_subscription when using the activationkey parameter.
* Fixed a traceback in the gce module on EL6 distros when multiple
pycrypto installations are available.
* Added support for PostgreSQL 9.4 in rds_param_group
* Several other minor fixes.
Version 1.9, "Dancing In the Street" - Mar 25, 2015:
Major changes:
* Added kerberos support to winrm connection plugin.
* Tags rehaul: added 'all', 'always', 'untagged' and 'tagged'
special tags and normalized tag resolution. Added tag information
to --list-tasks and new --list-tags option.
* Privilege Escalation generalization, new 'Become' system and
variables now will handle existing and new methods. Sudo and
su have been kept for backwards compatibility. New methods
pbrun and pfexec in 'alpha' state, planned adding 'runas' for
winrm connection plugin.
* Improved ssh connection error reporting, now you get back the
specific message from ssh.
* Added facility to document task module return values for
registered vars, both for ansible-doc and the docsite. Documented
copy, stats and acl modules, the rest must be updated individually
(we will start doing so incrementally).
* Optimize the plugin loader to cache available plugins much more
efficiently. For some use cases this can lead to dramatic
improvements in startup time.
* Overhaul of the checksum system, now supports more systems and
more cases more reliably and uniformly.
* Fix skipped tasks to not display their parameters if no_log is specified.
* Many fixes to unicode support, standarized functions to make
it easier to add to input/output boundaries.
* Added travis integration to github for basic tests, this should
speed up ticket triage and merging.
* environment: directive now can also be applied to play and is
inhertited by tasks, which can still override it.
* expanded facts and OS/distribution support for existing facts
and improved performance with pypy.
* new 'wantlist' option to lookups allows for selecting a list
typed variable vs a comma delimited string as the return.
* the shared module code for file backups now uses a timestamp
resolution of seconds (previouslly minutes).
* allow for empty inventories, this is now a warning and not an
error (for those using localhost and cloud modules).
* sped up YAML parsing in ansible by up to 25% by switching to
CParser loader.
New Modules:
* cryptab: manages linux encrypted block devices
* gce_img: for utilizing GCE image resources
