v1.02 (25 May 2007):
* Added overview section in the documentation
v1.01 (17 May 2007):
* Added number range facility (equivalent to makeindex's |( and |)
formatting commands.)
* Added a space after \delimN and \delimR in the ist file.
Patch provided by Yorick Hardy in PR 36335.

Release notes for version 1.6
* Additions:
o An autogen.sh script for generating the various generated files from source was added.
o Infrastructure for creating, running and composing test suites was added. As a result, "make check" now runs more tests than before.
o It is now possible for adventurous users to run the linker in PLT Scheme.
* Changes:
o make image now assumes a Unicode-capable Scheme 48.
* Bug fixes:
o A bug where automatic port-flushing would churn trying to write to a blocking socket was fixed.
o An infinite loop upon (/ 0.0 0.0) was fixed. (reported by Taylor Campbell)
o A bug that made system unusable was fixed. (reported by Marco Benelli)
o A bug with package mutation, which made running the PreScheme compiler on the VM break was fixed.
o Bugs related to the conversion between OS strings and strings on command-line handling were fixed. (reported by Andreas Rottmann)
o Compilation using gcc now uses the -munaligned-doubles flag where available, which is needed on SPARCs to make floating-point arithmetic work.
o Compilation older versions Cygwin that don't have langinfo.h should be fixed.
o Some problems with installing and running on Windows Vista were fixed. (thanks to Axel T. Schreiner)
Release notes for version 1.5
* Additions:
o Comprehensive Unicode support was added. See the manual for details.
o An implementation of SRFI 19 was added. (thanks to Emilio Lopes)
o Syntax-rules now supports vector patterns and templates.
o The ,bound? command now produces more output. (thanks to Taylor Campbell)

o The ,build command now accepts a procedure that will be called with a list of OS strings rather than regular strings.
o The ascii->char and char->ascii procedures from the ascii structure covers only ASCII (codes 0-127) now. (Previously, the range included 128-255 as well.)
* Bug fixes:
o A bug with package mutation was fixed. (reported by Taylor Campbell)
Release notes for version 1.4
* Additions:
o Regexp? is now exported from the rexexps structure.
o SRFIs 4, 39, 40, 43, 43, 60, 61, 63, 66, 67, 71, 78 (mostly thanks to David Van Horn)
o In the command processor, switches were generalized to settings, specifically to customize various printing parameters. See the manual for details.

Based on patch provided by Yorick Hardy in PR 36334, I ajust patch files.
2.41 (2006-10-13)
=================
User visible changes
--------------------
* New module libsvm interfaces to <http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm>
and makes Support Vector Machines available in CLISP.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/libsvm.html> for details.
* The same internal interface now handles FFI forms DEF-CALL-OUT and
DEF-C-VAR regardless of the presence of the :LIBRARY argument.
(:LIBRARY NIL) is now identical to omitting the :LIBRARY argument.
The default for the :LIBRARY argument is provided by
FFI:*DEFAULT-FOREIGN-LIBRARY* (bound in a compilation unit).
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/dffi.html#dffi-default-lib> for details.
* Bug fixes:
+ DOCUMENTATION on built-in functions was broken on some platforms.
[ 1569234 ]
+ Fixed FFI callbacks, broken since the 2.36 release.
+ Fixed the way the top-level driver handles the "--" option terminator.
+ Fixed COMPILE of APPLY in LABELS for local function. [ 1575946 ]
2.40 (2006-09-23)
=================
Important notes
---------------
* All .fas files generated by previous CLISP versions are invalid and
must be recompiled. This is because DOCUMENTATION and LAMBDA-LIST are
now kept with the closures.
Set CUSTOM:*LOAD-OBSOLETE-ACTION* to :COMPILE to automate this.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#loadfile> for details.
User visible changes
--------------------
* Infrastructure
+ Top-level configure now accepts a new option --elispdir which specifies
the installation directory for the Emacs Lisp files (clhs.el et al).
The default value is ${datadir}/emacs/site-lisp/.
Thus, clhs.el at al are now installed by "make install", and should
be included in the 3rd party distributions.
+ Top-level configure now accepts variables on command line, e.g.,
./configure CC=g++ CFLAGS=-g
* Function PCRE:PCRE-EXEC accepts :DFA and calls pcre_dfa_exec() when
built against PCRE v6. See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/pcre.html>.
* New functions RAWSOCK:IF-NAME-INDEX, RAWSOCK:IFADDRS.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/rawsock.html>.
* When the OPTIMIZE SPACE level is low enough, keep function
documentation and lambda list.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/declarations.html#space-decl>.
* Bug fixes:
+ Make it possible to set *IMPNOTES-ROOT-DEFAULT* and *CLHS-ROOT-DEFAULT*
to local paths, as opposed to URLs. [ 1494059 ]
+ Fix the evaluation order of initialization and :INITIALLY forms in
then extended LOOP. [ 1516684 ]
+ Do not allow non-symbols as names of anonymous classes. [ 1528201 ]
+ REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE now calls FINALIZE-INHERITANCE. [ 1526448 ]
+ Fix the RAWSOCK module on big-endian platforms. [ 1529244 ]
+ PRINT-OBJECT now works on built-in objects. [ 1482533 ]
+ ADJUST-ARRAY signals an error if :FILL-POINTER is supplied and non-NIL
but the non-adjustable array has no fill pointer, as per ANSI. [ 1538333 ]
+ MAKE-PATHNAME no longer ignores explicit :DIRECTORY NIL (thanks to
Stephen Compall <s11001001@us...>). [ 1550803 ]
+ Executable images now work on ia64 (thanks to Dr. Werner Fink
<werner@su...>).
+ MAKE-PATHNAME on win32 now handles correctly directories that start
with a non-string (e.g., :WILD). [ 1555096 ]
+ SOCKET-STREAM-PEER and SOCKET-STREAM-LOCAL had do-not-resolved-p
inverted since 2.37.
+ Set functions with :TEST 'EQUALP were broken on large lists. [ 1567186 ]
4.5.0:

potentially following an uninitialized pointer.
4.4.3:
* fix DBEnv.set_tx_timestamp to not crash on Win64 platforms (thomas.wouters)
* tons of memory leak fixes all over the code (thomas.wouters)

# while apparently independent, cause libtool to create .o again,
# making it possible for the ar step of the .a build to fail to find
# the .o
MAKE_JOBS_SAFE= NO
The package was created by Sergey Svishchev, some changes done by me.
CD and DVD media keep their data only for a finite time (typically for
many years). After that time, data loss develops slowly with read errors
growing from the outer media region towards the inside.
Dvdisaster stores data on CD/DVD in a way that it is fully recoverable
even after some read errors have developed. This enables you to rescue
the complete data to a new medium.
Data loss is prevented by using error correcting codes. Error correction
data is either added to the medium or kept in separate error correction
files. dvdisaster works at the image level so that the recovery does not
depend on the file system of the medium. The maximum error correction
capacity is user-selectable.
kde uses the X clipboard's content negotiation features, which
almost nobody else does, but xclip was doing the wrong thing when
asked for content negotiation stuff (from Debian bug report 172812).
Bump PKGREVISION.
k3b uses cdrecord for CD-R[W] writing tasks and invokes it with
'dev=<bus>,<target>,<lun>' argument. The code in scsi-bsd.c attempts
to find a device node (/dev/rcd?d) that matches these <bus>, <target>
and <lun>; this code stops after first failure. If cd0 does not
exist, but cd1 does, the code will fail to match cd1.
Also, the code doesn't use getrawpartition().
Apply his patches for both problems. Bump PKGREVISION.
