Summary: This release has the following new features that are not
available in 1.4.* releases
1. Generic properties to give application more control on I/O pipeline
2. Time allocation and fill value properties
3. New filters: external compression filter szip
internal shuffling and checksum filters
4. Compact storage layout for datasets
5. Redesigned I/O pipeline for better performance.
NEWS FROM 2.1.3 TO 2.1.4
o Fix bugs treating old objects that have already been considered by
the incremental GC (and survived it). Example:
ObjectMemory globalGarbageCollect.
HomedAssociation class instanceCount
gave 0 instead of 1. As a result, --enable-checking now can be
used.
o Fix bugs when doing #become: between old objects, exactly one of
which has not been considered by the incremental GC and was
incorrectly swept when the collector finally reached it.
o Fix bugs when garbage collection triggered finalization while a
primitive was being run. Finalization is now done in a separate
Process.
o Fix bugs treating very large objects.
o Fix infinite loop when the big object threshold was set between
the size of survivor spaces and the size of the eden.
o Printing Integers was unbelievably inefficient. Fixed together
with some more low-hanging fruit.
o SequenceableCollection>>#replaceFrom:to:with:startingAt: allows
again that stop=start-1 (like replaceFrom: 1 to: 0 with: ...)
Changes:
* Word-wrap fix
* Included two logos for DivX and Ogg Vorbis
* Added option to output slim CD cover cases with page order switched
* Added --no-cover-plaque and --number-in-set <string>
* Updated spec file to match 2.6.1
Changes to mk-files:
* install-mk: add ability to use cp -f when updating
destination .mk files. Also now possible to play games with
FORCE_SYS_MK=ln etc on *BSD machines to link /usr/share/mk/sys.mk
into dest - not recommended unless you seriously want to.
* own.mk (IMPFLAGS): add support for COPTS.${IMPSRC:T} etc
for semi-compatability with NetBSD.
Changes to bmake:
* boot-strap: Allow setting configure args on command line.
* configure.in: add --with-defshell to allow sh or ksh
to be selected as default shell.
* Merge with NetBSD make 20030731
Pick up .SHELL spec for ksh and associate man page changes.
Also compat mode now uses the same shell specs.
* var.c (Var_Parse): ensure delim is initialized.
* unit-tests/Makefile.in: use single quotes to avoid problems from
some shells.
* makefile.boot.in:
Run the unit-tests as part of the bootstrap procedure.
* unit-tests/Makefile.in: always force complaints from
${TEST_MAKE} to be from 'make'.
* configure.in: add check for 'diff -u'
also fix some old autoconf'isms
* Makefile.in (BMAKE_VERSION): bump version to 20030728.
if using GCC add -Wno-cast-qual to CFLAGS for var.o
* Merge with NetBSD make 20030728
Pick up fix for :ts parsing error in some cases.
Pick unit-tests.
Changes since 1.13:
* fixed output warning for large magic db
* added ms-tnef, arc, zoo, arj, rar, EPS entries
* added some more tests
* added removeSpecials/removeExts functions, and capability of adding sub entry
