Changelog:
Version 1.27.0 (2018-06-21)
Language
Removed 'proc' from the reserved keywords list. This allows proc to be used as an identifer.
The dyn syntax is now available. This syntax is equivalent to the bare Trait syntax, and should make it clearer when being used in tandem with impl Trait. Since it is equivalent to the following syntax: &Trait == &dyn Trait, &mut Trait == &mut dyn Trait, and Box<Trait> == Box<dyn Trait>.
Attributes on generic parameters such as types and lifetimes are now stable. e.g. fn foo<#[lifetime_attr] 'a, #[type_attr] T: 'a>() {}
The #[must_use] attribute can now also be used on functions as well as types. It provides a lint that by default warns users when the value returned by a function has not been used.
Compiler
Added the armv5te-unknown-linux-musl target.
Libraries
SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) on x86/x86_64 is now stable. This includes arch::x86 & arch::x86_64 modules which contain SIMD intrinsics, a new macro called is_x86_feature_detected!, the #[target_feature(enable="")] attribute, and adding target_feature = "" to the cfg attribute.
A lot of methods for [u8], f32, and f64 previously only available in std are now available in core.
The generic Rhs type parameter on ops::{Shl, ShlAssign, Shr} now defaults to Self.
std::str::replace now has the #[must_use] attribute to clarify that the operation isn't done in place.
Clone::clone, Iterator::collect, and ToOwned::to_owned now have the #[must_use] attribute to warn about unused potentially expensive allocations.
Stabilized APIs
DoubleEndedIterator::rfind
DoubleEndedIterator::rfold
DoubleEndedIterator::try_rfold
Duration::from_micros
Duration::from_nanos
Duration::subsec_micros
Duration::subsec_millis
HashMap::remove_entry
Iterator::try_fold
Iterator::try_for_each
NonNull::cast
Option::filter
String::replace_range
Take::set_limit
hint::unreachable_unchecked
os::unix::process::parent_id
process::id
ptr::swap_nonoverlapping
slice::rsplit_mut
slice::rsplit
slice::swap_with_slice
Cargo
cargo-metadata now includes authors, categories, keywords, readme, and repository fields.
Added the --target-dir optional argument. This allows you to specify a different directory than target for placing compilation artifacts.
Cargo will be adding automatic target inference for binaries, benchmarks, examples, and tests in the Rust 2018 edition. If your project specifies specific targets e.g. using [[bin]] and have other binaries in locations where cargo would infer a binary, Cargo will produce a warning. You can disable this feature ahead of time by setting any of the following autobins, autobenches, autoexamples, autotests to false.
Cargo will now cache compiler information. This can be disabled by setting CARGO_CACHE_RUSTC_INFO=0 in your environment.
Misc
Added "The Rustc book" into the official documentation. "The Rustc book" documents and teaches how to use the rustc compiler.
All books available on doc.rust-lang.org are now searchable.
Compatibility Notes
Calling a CharExt or StrExt method directly on core will no longer work. e.g. ::core::prelude::v1::StrExt::is_empty("") will not compile, "".is_empty() will still compile.
Debug output on atomic::{AtomicBool, AtomicIsize, AtomicPtr, AtomicUsize} will only print the inner type. e.g. print!("{:?}", AtomicBool::new(true)) will print true not AtomicBool(true).
The maximum number for repr(align(N)) is now 2^29. Previously you could enter higher numbers but they were not supported by LLVM. Up to 512MB alignment should cover all use cases.
crypto:
- Support for crypto.scrypt() has been added.
fs:
- BigInt support has been added to fs.stat and fs.watchFile.
- APIs that take mode as arguments no longer throw on values larger
than 0o777.
- Fix crashes in closed event watchers.
Worker Threads:
- Support for multi-threading has been added behind the
--experimental-worker flag in the worker_threads module. This
feature is experimental and may receive breaking changes at any time.
Fixes usage with packages like print/lilypond on at least Darwin and SunOS, where dynamically loaded guile extensions cannot be found without resorting to LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH quirks.
add netbsd/arm EABI target. recognise dwarf2 unwinding in the common arm code.
switch convoluted stddef.h logic from relying on include guards having certain
names to only applying for netbsd, which should be the sole remaining user.
(necessary for netbsd/arm, which uses different include guards for ansi.h)
move linux/alpha code out of shared alpha+ELF header.
make all netbsd targets include netbsd-stdint.h.
Fixes PR pkg/52951.
Bump PKGREVISION. bump gcc7-libs PKGREVISION above this one.

py-python-lua is a python3 application which translates python 3 scripts
into Lua. It can act as a standalone translator, or as an embedded package.
Lua can be embedded in Python 3 input scripts, and will be passed through.
go1.10.3 (released 2018/06/05) includes fixes to the go command, and the
crypto/tls, crypto/x509, and strings packages. In particular, it adds minimal
support to the go command for the vgo transition. See the Go 1.10.3 milestone
on our issue tracker for details.
New features in Qore:
* the sqlutil script has been updated with the –select option
to allow dumped table rows to be filtered
* "thread list", "backtrace all" commands implemented for
the debugger
* QUnit: overloaded the testAssertionValue() method to support
auto/number/float and more verbose output when a difference
in number/float values is found
* qdbg-remote supports ConnectionProvider connections
* new method: Breakpoint::getProgram()
* improved debugging support:
- added support for a Visual Studio Code debug adapter for Qore
- the debugger can now retrieve sources when running from a remote
debug server
- debugger options can now be set from command line (verbosity etc.)
- the onAttach() event is now executed synchronously when
the program thread context starts
- the onDetach() event is executed properly when program thread
contexts terminate
- the onStep() now provides the breakpointId value if available
- the onExit() event was added for greater control over
code execution in the debugger
- the onException() event was improved
- server commands now support frameid as a parameter
Bug fixes:
to many to list.
Previously all lines (matching or not /${GO_PLATFORM}/) were printed
unconditionally and could interfere with other PRINT_PLIST_AWKs used by always
printing every line in `print-PLIST' phase.
Avoid that by limiting the pattern of PRINT_PLIST_AWK in go-package.mk.
Since Python 2.7.15 patches/patch-ah is no longer needed and badly interfere
(e.g. with it `curses.KEY_*' are no longer exposed):
- Prototypes of NetBSD curses(3) are as described, no need to patch them
- Avoid {lines,columns} -> {nlines,columns} rename, they are properly
undef-ed due HAVE_TERM_H.
- Use keyname() (it should be present since NetBSD 2.0)
Bump PKGREVISION for devel/py-curses so it will be properly rebuild.
Fixes PR pkg/53330 reported by <oster>.
isn't mis-categorized as little-endian only because _LITTLE_ENDIAN
is defined -- what matters on NetBSD is the value of _BYTE_ORDER.
Retain the old test in the #else clause.
Bump PKGREVISION.

- NEW FEATURE: npm audit fix
- OTHER NEW audit FEATURES
- Add support for npm audit --json to print the report in JSON
format.
- Include number of audited packages in npm install summary output.
- Overhaul audit install and detail output format.
- NEW FEATURE: GIT DEPS AND npm init <pkg>!
- FIX WRITE AFTER END ERROR
- DETECT CHANGES IN GIT SPECIFIERS
- OTHER BUGFIXES
- When requesting the update of a direct dependency that was also a
transitive dependency to a version incompatible with the
transitive requirement and you had a lock-file but did not have a
node_modules folder then npm would fail to provide a new copy of the
transitive dependency, resulting in an invalid lock-file that could
not self heal.
- Cleanup output of npm ci summary report.
- Node.js now has a test that scans for things that look like
conflict markers in source code. This was triggering false
positives on a fixture in a test of npm's ability to heal lockfiles
with conflicts in them.
- Make the new npm view work when the license field is an object
instead of a string.
- Add support for environments (like Docker) where the expected
binary for opening external URLs is not available.
- Fix a spurious colon in the new update notifier message and add
support for the npm canary.
- Infer a version range when a package.json has a dist-tag instead
of a version range in one of its dependency specs. Previously,
this would cause dependencies to be flagged as invalid.
- Make sure scoped bundled deps are shown in the new publish
preview, too.
- Stop dropping size from metadata on npm cache verify.
- Fix nested command aliases.
- Make sure different versions of the Path env var on Windows all
get node_modules/.bin prepended when running lifecycle scripts.
- addons:
- Fixed a memory leak for users of `AsyncResource` and N-API.
- assert:
- The `error` parameter of `assert.throws()` can be an object
containing regular expressions now.
- crypto:
- The `authTagLength` option has been made more flexible.
- esm:
- Builtin modules (e.g. `fs`) now provide named exports in ES6
modules.
- http:
- Handling of `close` and `aborted` events has been made more
consistent.
- module:
- add --preserve-symlinks-main
- timers:
- `timeout.refresh()` has been added to the public API.
- Embedder support:
- Functions for creating V8 `Isolate` and `Context` objects with
Node.js-specific behaviour have been added to the API.
- Node.js `Environment`s clean up resources before exiting now.
- Support for multi-threaded embedding has been improved.
