6 years of changes. 3.5.1 in particular has:
it is time for another version of Ocamlnet. The new release 3.5 focuses on
the system interface, and includes a long list of smaller improvements.
The system interface, Netsys_posix, is extended by:
- Support for POSIX clocks and POSIX timers (with nanosecond resolution)
- Netsys_posix.spawn usses now the posix_spawn call if present on the OS
- Adding support for pollable events (as e.g. provided by Linux via
eventfd). For other OS an emulation is available.
- Support for epoll on Linux
Note that Netsys_posix covers now large parts of POSIX realtime.
Other improvements:
- The code generator for XDR has been improved. A new switch -direct for
ocamlrpcgen can be used to generate direct mappings between OCaml values
and binary representation (in many cases). Speedups up to 50% are
possible for large XDR values.
- The new module Uq_mt allows it to access an event-driven resource from
several kernel threads (e.g. use an RPC client commonly from several
threads).
- The thread-safety of Netplex container functions has been improved.
- Netmulticore condition variables can now be polled, for better
integration into event-based programs.
- Option greedy_accepts for Netplex to support servers that accept
many connections per second. With this improvement, Netplex can
now accept more than 5000 connections/s, and assign them to worker
processes.
Last but not least there is now a new tutorial for Equeue (event systems
and engines). In particular, the section about combining Ocamlnet with Lwt
might be interesting.
in devel/p5-Perl-Tidy from 20101217 to 20120701.
Upstream changes:
2012 07 01
- Corrected problem introduced by using a chomp on scalar references, RT #77978
- Added support for Perl 5.14 package block syntax, RT #78114.
- A convergence test is made if three or more iterations are requested with
the -it=n parameter to avoid wasting computer time. Several hundred Mb of
code gleaned from the internet were searched with the results that:
- It is unusual for two iterations to be required unless a major
style change is being made.
- Only one case has been found where three iterations were required.
- No cases requiring four iterations have been found with this version.
For the previous version several cases where found the results could
oscillate between two semi-stable states. This version corrects this.
So if it is important that the code be converged it is okay to set -it=4
with this version and it will probably stop after the second iteration.
- Improved ability to identify and retain good line break points in the
input stream, such as at commas and equals. You can always tell
perltidy to ignore old breakpoints with -iob.
- Fixed glitch in which a terminal closing hash brace followed by semicolon
was not outdented back to the leading line depth like other closing
tokens. Thanks to Keith Neargarder for noting this.
OLD:
my ( $pre, $post ) = @{
{
"pp_anonlist" => [ "[", "]" ],
"pp_anonhash" => [ "{", "}" ]
}->{ $kid->ppaddr }
}; # terminal brace
NEW:
my ( $pre, $post ) = @{
{
"pp_anonlist" => [ "[", "]" ],
"pp_anonhash" => [ "{", "}" ]
}->{ $kid->ppaddr }
}; # terminal brace
- Removed extra indentation given to trailing 'if' and 'unless' clauses
without parentheses because this occasionally produced undesirable
results. This only applies where parens are not used after the if or
unless.
OLD:
return undef
unless my ( $who, $actions ) =
$clause =~ /^($who_re)((?:$action_re)+)$/o;
NEW:
return undef
unless my ( $who, $actions ) =
$clause =~ /^($who_re)((?:$action_re)+)$/o;
- 1.3.2: Handling of empty arguments (Wojciech Meyer).
Added entry for camlp4.fulllib.
New switch -add for "ocamlfind install" (Hans Ole Rafaelsen).
Further fixes for ocaml-4.00.
Fixing the recognition of double .cmi interface files.
Fixing -dontlink (it is now deeply interpreted).
- 1.3.1: Fixing a bug with ocamlmklib that slipped through in 1.3.0
- 1.3.0: Fixes for ocaml-4.00 (especially topfind).
Emitting an error if the configuration file does not exist.
Emitting a warning if the selected toolchain does not exist.
camlp4 is referenced by "+camlp4" in META.
Including the sources for the documentation in the tarball.
License change (simplification) for num_top_printers.mli.
Fix ocamlmklib wrapper: processing contracted args (like -L/dir) correctly.
Many wrappers get a new option -passrest instructing to pass all remaining
options on the command-line unchanged to the invoked tool.
Prettified -help output.
0.23nb2 to 0.24.

Upstream changes (since 1.35):
1.37 to be released
- Updated to SQLite 3.7.12.1 (ISHIGAKI)
1.36_04 Sat 19 May 2012
- Final developer release
- Updated to SQLite 3.7.12 (ISHIGAKI)
- Tweaked Makefile.PL to behave better during the Bsymbolic
check (HMBRAND)
- Added SQLITE_WITHOUT_ZONEMALLOC for older MacOS X (ISHIGAKI)
1.36_03 Mon 7 May 2012
- Updated to SQLite 3.7.11 (ISHIGAKI)
- Fix >32bit integer truncation and other sqlite_set_result
condition issue (Yuriy Kaminskiy)
- Fix integer overflow in passing argument to perl function
(Yuriy Kaminskiy)
- Convert unsigned -> int64 when possible (Yuriy Kaminskiy)
- Turned datatype mismatch error (introduced in 1.34_02) into
a warning (you can disable this warning by setting PrintWarn
attribute to false). (ISHIGAKI)
- Refactored sqlite_is_number to fix various corner cases
(ISHIGAKI)
1.36_02 Thu 23 Feb 2012
- Downgraded SQLite to 3.7.9, as 3.7.10 turned out to be
broken on the latest MacOS X (due to a missing symbol),
and broke other modules that typically use temporary tables
under a few environments too. As of this writing, would-be
3.7.11 seems fine, but it would take another month to be
released. (ISHIGAKI)
1.36_01 Thu 19 Jan 2012
*** CHANGES THAT MAY POSSIBLY BREAK YOUR OLD APPLICATIONS ***
- Updated to SQLite 3.7.10 (ISHIGAKI)
Note that this release changed the default schema format
number, that means newly created database files will be
unreadable by SQLite version prior to 3.3.0 (2006-01-10)
(or DBD::SQLite prior to 1.12) unless you explicitly issue
"PRAGMA legacy_file_format=ON".
- Enabled SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS4
- Enabled SQLITE_ENABLE_STAT3
- Resolved#73159: FTS tokenizer segfault (ISHIGAKI)
- Resolved#73787: sqlite_see_if_its_a_number causes a buffer
overflow (ISHIGAKI)
- Resolved#73314 for DBD-SQLite: binding of 64bit integers fail
on 1.34_02 (ISHIGAKI)
- Implemented sqlite_trace and sqlite_profile methods for simpler
tracing/profiling; use DBI_TRACE/DBI_PROFILE for more
complicated cases (ISHIGAKI)
from 0.88 to 0.90.
Upstream changes since 0.88:
0.90 - 2012-06-15, H.Merijn Brand
* Drop 5.005 support (5.6.1 is now minimum)
* Introduce record_number
* Try harder to get the complete input parsed for the current record
when hitting errors on parsing seekable IO (only works in 5.14.0 and up)
* Tested with perl 5.6.1 .. 5.17.0 (99 versions of perl) on Linux, HP-UX,
AIX, and Windows
* SvSETMAGIC was missing for tied variables causing weird actions at a
distance, e.g. in printf (Thanks TonyC for finding this)
* UTF8 flag was not always reset when using bound variables (TonyC)
Summary of important user-visible changes for version 3.6:
---------------------------------------------------------
** The PCRE library is now required to build Octave. If a pre-compiled
package does not exist for your system, you can find PCRE sources
at http://www.pcre.org
** The ARPACK library is no longer distributed with Octave.
If you need the eigs or svds functions you must provide an
external ARPACK through a package manager or by compiling it
yourself. If a pre-compiled package does not exist for your system,
you can find the current ARPACK sources at
http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/arpack-ng
** Many of Octave's binary operators (.*, .^, +, -, ...) now perform
automatic broadcasting for array operations which allows you to use
operator notation instead of calling bsxfun or expanding arrays (and
unnecessarily wasting memory) with repmat or similar idioms. For
example, to scale the columns of a matrix by the elements of a row
vector, you may now write
rv .* M
In this expression, the number of elements of rv must match the
number of columns of M. The following operators are affected:
plus + .+
minus - .-
times .*
rdivide ./
ldivide .\
power .^ .**
lt <
le <=
eq ==
gt >
ge >=
ne != ~=
and &
or |
atan2
hypot
max
min
mod
rem
xor
additionally, since the A op= B assignment operators are equivalent
to A = A op B, the following operators are also affected:
+= -= .+= .-= .*= ./= .\= .^= .**= &= |=
See the "Broadcasting" section in the new "Vectorization and Faster
Code Execution" chapter of the manual for more details.
** Octave now features a profiler, thanks to the work of Daniel Kraft
under the Google Summer of Code mentorship program. The manual has
been updated to reflect this addition. The new user-visible
functions are profile, profshow, and profexplore.
** Overhaul of statistical distribution functions
Functions now return "single" outputs for inputs of class "single".
75% reduction in memory usage through use of logical indexing.
Random sample functions now use the same syntax as rand and accept
a comma separated list of dimensions or a dimension vector.
Functions have been made Matlab-compatible with regard to special
cases (probability on boundaries, probabilities for values outside
distribution, etc.). This may cause subtle changes to existing
scripts.
negative binomial function has been extended to real, non-integer
inputs. The discrete_inv function now returns v(1) for 0 instead of
NaN. The nbincdf function has been recoded to use a closed form
solution with betainc.
** strread, textscan, and textread have been completely revamped.
They now support nearly all Matlab functionality including:
* Matlab-compatible whitespace and delimiter defaults
* Matlab-compatible options: 'whitespace', treatasempty', format
string repeat count, user-specified comment style, uneven-length
output arrays, %n and %u conversion specifiers (provisionally)
** All .m string functions have been modified for better performance or
greater Matlab compatibility. Performance gains of 15X-30X have
been demonstrated. Operations on cell array of strings no longer pay
quite as high a penalty as those on 2-D character arrays.
deblank: Now requires character or cellstr input.
strtrim: Now requires character or cellstr input.
No longer trims nulls ("\0") from string for Matlab
compatibility.
strmatch: Follows documentation precisely and ignores trailing spaces
in pattern and in string. Note that this is documented
Matlab behavior but the implementation apparently does
not always follow it.
substr: Now possible to specify a negative LEN option which
extracts to within LEN of the end of the string.
strtok: Now accepts cellstr input.
base2dec, bin2dec, hex2dec:
Now accept cellstr inputs.
dec2base, dec2bin, dec2hex:
Now accept cellstr inputs.
index, rindex:
Now accept 2-D character array input.
strsplit: Now accepts 2-D character array input.
** Geometry functions derived from Qhull (convhull, delaunay, voronoi)
have been revamped. The options passed to the underlying qhull
command have been changed for better results or for Matlab
compatibility.
convhull: Default options are "Qt" for 2D, 3D, 4D inputs
Default options are "Qt Qx" for 5D and higher
delaunay: Default options are "Qt Qbb Qc Qz" for 2D and 3D inputs
Default options are "Qt Qbb Qc Qx" for 4D and higher
voronoi: No default arguments
** Date/Time functions updated. Millisecond support with FFF format
string now supported.
datestr: Numerical formats 21, 22, 29 changed to match Matlab.
Now accepts cellstr input.
** The following warning IDs have been removed:
Octave:associativity-change
Octave:complex-cmp-ops
Octave:empty-list-elements
Octave:fortran-indexing
Octave:precedence-change
** The warning ID Octave:string-concat has been renamed to
Octave:mixed-string-concat.
** Octave now includes the following Matlab-compatible preference
functions:
addpref getpref ispref rmpref setpref
** The following Matlab-compatible handle graphics functions have been
added:
guidata uipanel uitoolbar
guihandles uipushtool uiwait
uicontextmenu uiresume waitfor
uicontrol uitoggletool
The uiXXX functions above are experimental.
Except for uiwait and uiresume, the uiXXX functions are not
supported with the FLTK+OpenGL graphics toolkit.
The gnuplot graphics toolkit does not support any of the uiXXX
functions nor the waitfor function.
** New keyword parfor (parallel for loop) is now recognized as a valid
keyword. Implementation, however, is still mapped to an ordinary
for loop.
** Other new functions added in 3.6.0:
bicg nthargout usejava
is_dq_string narginchk waitbar
is_sq_string python zscore
is_function_handle register_graphics_toolkit
loaded_graphics_toolkits recycle
** Deprecated functions.
The following functions were deprecated in Octave 3.2 and have been
removed from Octave 3.6.
create_set spcholinv splu
dmult spcumprod spmax
iscommand spcumsum spmin
israwcommand spdet spprod
lchol spdiag spqr
loadimage spfind spsum
mark_as_command sphcat spsumsq
mark_as_rawcommand spinv spvcat
spatan2 spkron str2mat
spchol splchol unmark_command
spchol2inv split unmark_rawcommand
The following functions have been deprecated in Octave 3.6 and will
be removed from Octave 3.10 (or whatever version is the second major
release after 3.6):
cut is_duplicate_entry
cor polyderiv
corrcoef shell_cmd
__error_text__ studentize
error_text sylvester_matrix
** The following functions have been modified for Matlab compatibility:
randperm
* Printing message no: was code not tested prior to 1.3.1 release...perl
compilation errors. Fixed.
* Reworked qmhandle left out printing message no: when detailed
listing of messages is requested! Fixed.
* Reworked qmhandle to be more accurate in reporting queue information
(todo state, bouncing...)
* Reworked qmhandle to be more efficient in handling message deletion
when more than one message will be deleted
* Added big-todo support (required since todo files need to be handled)
* Added delete from sender support (both regular expression and
string matching)
* Added touch info file for messages to remote domain for earlier
retry (at the cost of longer queue life)
* Added delete if message header or body line matches regular
expression (case sensitive and insensitive matching)
CPAN into devel/p5-Dist-Zilla.
Dist::Zilla builds distributions of code to be uploaded to the CPAN.
In this respect, it is like ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build, or
Module::Install. Unlike those tools, however, it is not also a system for
installing code that has been downloaded from the CPAN. Since it's only
run by authors, and is meant to be run on a repository checkout rather
than on published, released code, it can do much more than those tools,
and is free to make much more ludicrous demands in terms of prerequisites.
