ruby18-base-1.8.7.302
ruby19-base-1.9.2pl0
* Now patches of ruby-gdm, ruby-curses, ruby-readline and ruby-tk
are gathered to lang/ruby18-base and lang/ruby19-base.
Ruby's patchlevel N reflect as "plN" instead of ".N" from Ruby 1.9.
ruby18-base-1.8.7.302
ruby19-base-1.9.2pl0
Still Ruby 1.9.2pl0 support is disabled.
* Introduce RUBY_API_VERSION.
* RUBY_BUILD_RDOC and RUBY_BUILD_RI controls build of rdoc/ri. But,
currently ruby18-base and ruby19-base according to PKG_OPTION.
* Define rubygem supporting macros.
* RUBY_HAS_ARCHLIB is deprecated.
* Many directory macros are changed to relative path against PREFIX and
some of them are their name.
* Many directory macro, such as GEM_DOCDIR and GEM_LIBDIR are changed
to relative path against PREFIX.
* RUBYGEM_OPTIONS could be set from pkgsrc's Makefile.
* RUBY_BUILD_RDOC and RUBY_BUILD_RI controls build of rdoc/ri. But,
currently ruby18-base and ruby19-base according to PKG_OPTION.
* Assume name of commands gem18/rake18 or gem19/rake19.
* GEM_BUILD's default has changed from rake to gemspec. Most of rubygem
based pacakges would be installed via gem command.
* USE_RAKE controls the needs of the rake command.
* MASTER_SITES now use http://rubygems.org/downloads/ first.
* Check existence of GEM_DOCDIR before execute find(1).
* Deprecate RUBYGEM_PKGPREFIX which was defined the same as RUBY_PKGPREFIX
in long term.
* PRIVILEGED_STAGES isn't set "clean" any more.
misc/rubygems/rubygem.mk will be removed later.
Upstream changes:
Incompatible Changes
There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.12.1.
If any exist, they are bugs and reports are welcome.
Core Enhancements
Other than the bug fixes listed below, there should be no
user-visible changes to the core language in this release.
Modules and Pragmata
New Modules and Pragmata
This release does not introduce any new modules or pragmata.
Pragmata Changes
In the previous release, no VERSION; statements triggered a bug
which could cause feature bundles to be loaded and strict mode
to be enabled unintentionally.
Updated Modules
Carp
Upgraded from version 1.16 to 1.17.
Carp now detects incomplete caller() overrides and avoids using bogus
@DB::args. To provide backtraces, Carp relies on particular behaviour
of the caller built-in. Carp now detects if other code has overridden
this with an incomplete implementation, and modifies its backtrace
accordingly. Previously incomplete overrides would cause incorrect
values in backtraces (best case), or obscure fatal errors (worst case)
This fixes certain cases of Bizarre copy of ARRAY caused by modules
overriding caller() incorrectly.
CPANPLUS
A patch to cpanp-run-perl has been backported from CPANPLUS 0.9004.
This resolves [perl #55964] and [perl #57106], both of which related
to failures to install distributions that use Module::Install::DSL.
File::Glob
A regression which caused a failure to find CORE::GLOBAL::glob after
loading File::Glob to crash has been fixed. Now, it correctly falls
back to external globbing via pp_glob.
File::Copy
File::Copy::copy(FILE, DIR) is now documented.
File::Spec
Upgraded from version 3.31 to 3.31_01.
Several portability fixes were made in File::Spec::VMS: a colon is now
recognized as a delimiter in native filespecs; caret-escaped
delimiters are recognized for better handling of extended filespecs;
catpath() returns an empty directory rather than the current
directory if the input directory name is empty; abs2rel() properly
handles Unix-style input.
Utility Changes
* perlbug now always gives the reporter a chance to change the email
address it guesses for them.
* perlbug should no longer warn about uninitialized values when using
the -d and -v options.
Changes to Existing Documentation
* The existing policy on backward-compatibility and deprecation has
been added to perlpolicy, along with definitions of terms like
deprecation.
* "srand" in perlfunc's usage has been clarified.
* The entry for "die" in perlfunc was reorganized to emphasize its role
in the exception mechanism.
* Perl's INSTALL file has been clarified to explicitly state that Perl
requires a C89 compliant ANSI C Compiler.
* IO::Socket's getsockopt() and setsockopt() have been documented.
* alarm()'s inability to interrupt blocking IO on Windows has been
documented.
* Math::TrulyRandom hasn't been updated since 1996 and has been removed
as a recommended solution for random number generation.
* perlrun has been updated to clarify the behaviour of octal flags to
perl.
* To ease user confusion, $# and $*, two special variables that were
removed in earlier versions of Perl have been documented.
* The version of perlfaq shipped with the Perl core has been updated
from the official FAQ version, which is now maintained in the
briandfoy/perlfaq branch of the Perl repository at
git://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git.
Installation and Configuration Improvements
Configuration improvements
* The d_u32align configuration probe on ARM has been fixed.
Compilation improvements
* An "incompatible operand types" error in ternary expressions when
building with clang has been fixed.
* Perl now skips setuid File::Copy tests on partitions it detects to
be mounted as nosuid.
Selected Bug Fixes
* A possible segfault in the T_PRTOBJ default typemap has been fixed.
* A possible memory leak when using caller() to set @DB::args has been
fixed.
* Several memory leaks when loading XS modules were fixed.
* unpack() now handles scalar context correctly for %32H and %32u,
fixing a potential crash. split() would crash because the third item
on the stack wasn't the regular expression it expected.
unpack("%2H", ...) would return both the unpacked result and the
checksum on the stack, as would unpack("%2u", ...). [perl #73814]
* Perl now avoids using memory after calling free() in pp_require when
there are CODEREFs in @INC.
* A bug that could cause "Unknown error" messages when
"call_sv(code, G_EVAL)" is called from an XS destructor has been fixed.
* The implementation of the open $fh, '>' \$buffer feature now supports
get/set magic and thus tied buffers correctly.
* The pp_getc, pp_tell, and pp_eof opcodes now make room on the stack
for their return values in cases where no argument was passed in.
* When matching unicode strings under some conditions inappropriate
backtracking would result in a Malformed UTF-8 character (fatal)
error. This should no longer occur. See [perl #75680]
Platform Specific Notes
AIX
* README.aix has been updated with information about the XL C/C++ V11
compiler suite.
Windows
* When building Perl with the mingw64 x64 cross-compiler incpath,
libpth, ldflags, lddlflags and ldflags_nolargefiles values in
Config.pm and Config_heavy.pl were not previously not being set
correctly because, with that compiler, the include and lib
directories are not immediately below $(CCHOME).
VMS
* git_version.h is now installed on VMS. This was an oversight in
v5.12.0 which caused some extensions to fail to build.
* Several memory leaks in stat() have been fixed.
* A memory leak in Perl_rename() due to a double allocation has been
fixed.
* A memory leak in vms_fid_to_name() (used by realpath() and
realname()) has been fixed.

What's New in Python 2.6.6 rc 1?
================================
*Release date: 2010-08-03*
Core and Builtins
-----------------
- Issue #6213: Implement getstate() and setstate() methods of utf-8-sig and
utf-16 incremental encoders.
- Issue #8271: during the decoding of an invalid UTF-8 byte sequence, only the
start byte and the continuation byte(s) are now considered invalid, instead
of the number of bytes specified by the start byte.
E.g.: '\xf1\x80AB'.decode('utf-8', 'replace') now returns u'\ufffdAB' and
replaces with U+FFFD only the start byte ('\xf1') and the continuation byte
('\x80') even if '\xf1' is the start byte of a 4-bytes sequence.
Previous versions returned a single u'\ufffd'.
- Issue #9058: Remove assertions about INT_MAX in UnicodeDecodeError.
- Issue #8941: decoding big endian UTF-32 data in UCS-2 builds could crash
the interpreter with characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane
(higher than 0x10000).
- Issue #8627: Remove bogus "Overriding __cmp__ blocks inheritance of
__hash__ in 3.x" warning. Also fix "XXX undetected error" that
arises from the "Overriding __eq__ blocks inheritance ..." warning
when turned into an exception: in this case the exception simply
gets ignored.
- Issue #4108: In urllib.robotparser, if there are multiple 'User-agent: *'
entries, consider the first one.
- Issue #9354: Provide getsockopt() in asyncore's file_wrapper.
- In the unicode/str.format(), raise a ValueError when indexes to arguments are
too large.
- Issue #3798: Write sys.exit() message to sys.stderr to use stderr encoding
and error handler, instead of writing to the C stderr file in utf-8
- Issue #7902: When using explicit relative import syntax, don't try
implicit relative import semantics.
- Issue #7079: Fix a possible crash when closing a file object while using
it from another thread. Patch by Daniel Stutzbach.
- Issue #1533: fix inconsistency in range function argument
processing: any non-float non-integer argument is now converted to
an integer (if possible) using its __int__ method. Previously, only
small arguments were treated this way; larger arguments (those whose
__int__ was outside the range of a C long) would produce a TypeError.
- Issue #8417: Raise an OverflowError when an integer larger than sys.maxsize
is passed to bytearray.
- Issue #8329: Don't return the same lists from select.select when no fds are
changed.
- Raise a TypeError when trying to delete a T_STRING_INPLACE struct member.
- Issue #1583863: An unicode subclass can now override the __unicode__ method.
- Issue #7507: Quote "!" in pipes.quote(); it is special to some shells.
- Issue #7544: Preallocate thread memory before creating the thread to avoid
a fatal error in low memory condition.
- Issue #7820: The parser tokenizer restores all bytes in the right if
the BOM check fails.
- Issue #7072: isspace(0xa0) is true on Mac OS X
C-API
-----
- Issue #5753: A new C API function, :cfunc:`PySys_SetArgvEx`, allows
embedders of the interpreter to set sys.argv without also modifying
sys.path. This helps fix `CVE-2008-5983
<http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-5983>`_.

- Issue #7066: archive_util.make_archive now restores the cwd if an error is
raised. Initial patch by Ezio Melotti.
- Issue #5006: Better handling of unicode byte-order marks (BOM) in the io

mode doesn't add a BOM at the end of the file if the file isn't empty.
- Issue #3704: cookielib was not properly handling URLs with a / in the
parameters.
- Issue #4629: getopt raises an error if an argument ends with = whereas getopt

- Issue #8313: traceback.format_exception_only() encodes unicode message to
ASCII with backslashreplace error handler if str(value) failed
- Issue #8567: Fix precedence of signals in Decimal module: when a
Decimal operation raises multiple signals and more than one of those
signals is trapped, the specification determines the order in which
the signals should be handled. In many cases this order wasn't
being followed, leading to the wrong Python exception being raised.
- Issue #7865: The close() method of :mod:`io` objects should not swallow
exceptions raised by the implicit flush(). Also ensure that calling

indefinitely if the other end didn't respond.
- The do_handshake() method of SSL objects now adjusts the blocking mode of
the SSL structure if necessary (as other methods already do).
- Issue #5238: Calling makefile() on an SSL object would prevent the
underlying socket from being closed until all objects get truely destroyed.
- Issue #7943: Fix circular reference created when instantiating an SSL
socket. Initial patch by Péter Szabó.
- Issue #8108: Fix the unwrap() method of SSL objects when the socket has
a non-infinite timeout. Also make that method friendlier with applications
wanting to continue using the socket in clear-text mode, by disabling
OpenSSL's internal readahead. Thanks to Darryl Miles for guidance.
- Issue #8484: Load all ciphers and digest algorithms when initializing
the _ssl extension, such that verification of some SSL certificates
doesn't fail because of an "unknown algorithm".

didn't support chflags() (for example ZFS under FreeBSD). The error is
now silenced.
- Issue #3890, #8222: Fix recv() and recv_into() on non-blocking SSL sockets.
Also, enable the SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY flag on SSL sockets, so that blocking
reads and writes are always retried by OpenSSL itself.
- Issue #6544: fix a reference leak in the kqueue implementation's error
handling.
- Issue #7774: Set sys.executable to an empty string if argv[0] has been

with Tcl/Tk-8.5.
- Issue #7356: ctypes.util: Make parsing of ldconfig output independent of
the locale.
Extension Modules
-----------------
- Fix memory leak in ssl._ssl._test_decode_cert.
- Issue #9422: Fix memory leak when re-initializing a struct.Struct object.
- Issue #7900: The getgroups(2) system call on MacOSX behaves rather oddly
compared to other unix systems. In particular, os.getgroups() does
not reflect any changes made using os.setgroups() but basicly always
returns the same information as the id command.
os.getgroups() can now return more than 16 groups on MacOSX.
- Issue #9277: Fix bug in struct.pack for bools in standard mode
(e.g., struct.pack('>?')): if conversion to bool raised an exception
then that exception wasn't properly propagated on machines where
char is unsigned.
- Issue #7384: If the system readline library is linked against
ncurses, do not link the readline module against ncursesw. The
additional restriction of linking the readline and curses modules
against the same curses library is currently not enabled.
- Issue #2810: Fix cases where the Windows registry API returns
ERROR_MORE_DATA, requiring a re-try in order to get the complete result.
Build
-----
- Issue #8854: Fix finding Visual Studio 2008 on Windows x64.
- Issue #3928: os.mknod() now available in Solaris, also.
- Issue #8175: --with-universal-archs=all works correctly on OSX 10.5
- Issue #6716: Quote -x arguments of compileall in MSI installer.
- Issue #1628484: The Makefile doesn't ignore the CFLAGS environment
variable anymore. It also forwards the LDFLAGS settings to the linker
when building a shared library.
Tests
-----
- Issue #7849: Now the utility ``check_warnings`` verifies if the warnings are
effectively raised. A new private utility ``_check_py3k_warnings`` has been
backported to help silencing py3k warnings.
- Issue #8672: Add a zlib test ensuring that an incomplete stream can be
handled by a decompressor object without errors (it returns incomplete
uncompressed data).
- Issue #8629: Disable some test_ssl tests, since they give different
results with OpenSSL 1.0.0 and higher.
- Issue #8576: Remove use of find_unused_port() in test_smtplib and
test_multiprocessing. Patch by Paul Moore.
- Issue #7027: regrtest.py keeps a reference to the encodings.ascii module as a
workaround to #7140 bug
- Issue #3864: Skip three test_signal tests on freebsd6 because they fail
if any thread was previously started, most likely due to a platform bug.
- Issue #8193: Fix test_zlib failure with zlib 1.2.4.
Documentation
-------------
- Issue #9255: Document that the 'test' package is for internal Python use
only.
- Issue #8909: Added the size of the bitmap used in the installer created by
distutils' bdist_wininst. Patch by Anatoly Techtonik.
INSTALL_PROGRAM and INSTALL_SCRIPT.
They reflect to Ruby's Config::CONFIG constant which contains
various configuration parametes which would be used when installing
extention modules including ruby gems.
Setting INSTALL explicitly reset the line in mk/configure/gnu-configure.mk.
CONFIGURE_ENV+= ac_given_INSTALL=${INSTALL:Q}\ -c\ -o\ ${BINOWN}\ -g\ ${BINGRP}
Should be fix PR pkg/43684 and pkg/43687.
Bump PKGREVISION.
We intentionally wire down the 'libswanted' list in the package Makefile, so
don't let the hints file add new libraries that may be found outside Pkgsrc
control.
Fixes build on Gentoo and SuSE systems, and possibly other Linux systems too
that might have stray -lgdbm_compat libraries lying around.

0.90.5
======
* Byte compiler bugfix in docstring loss [Teika Kazura]
Practical effect: Previously, if a user byte-compile files, then
the docstring is lost in sawfish-config. This is fixed.
Details: Loss of docstring happened only if (1) byte compiler is
not given `--write-docs', so only byte-compilation by user (2)
defvar is invoked within macro definition, including `defcustom' in
Sawfish. Plain defvar was not affected by this bug. It was
because in 'trans-defvar' in lisp/rep/vm/compiler/rep.jl, the
docstring is stored in a wrong property `variable-documentation'.
It is corrected to `documentation'.
Symbol `variable-documentation' is not used elsewhere, including
Sawfish and emacs' sawfish-mode.
* Our own implementation of dlmalloc is disabled since 2002, as it

The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!

Pkgsrc changes:
- Adjust some patches
- Remove patches integrated upstream
- Use Perl's "Policy.sh" framework (along the way remove some patches)
- Link in an enterprise friendly way on HPUX
- in buildlink3.mk bump minimum required pkgsrc Perl version to
5.12.0
- placate some pkglint warnings
Upstream changes:
- From version 5.12.1 announce
This release contains minor bug fixes and updates of several core
modules, as well as minor documentation updates. It should be fully
backward compatible with Perl 5.12.0.
- From version 5.12.0 announce:
Perl 5.12.0 represents approximately two years of development since
version 5.10.0 and contains over 750,000 lines of changes across over
3,000 files from over 200 authors and committers.
[...]
Notable changes in Perl 5.12 include:
* Perl now conforms much more closely to the Unicode standard.
Additionally, this release includes an upgrade to version
5.2 of the standard.
* New experimental APIs allow developers to extend Perl with
"pluggable" keywords and syntax.
* Perl now has a better sense of time and will be able to keep
accurate time well past the "Y2038" barrier.
* New syntax allows developers to specify package version numbers
directly in "package" statements
* Perl now warns the user about the use of deprecated features
by default.
- For a complete list of changes see included perl5120delta(1) and
perl5121delta(1) or http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5120delta.html and
http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5121delta.html
Some of the highlights in release 3.12 are:
* Polymorphic recursion is supported, using explicit type
declarations on the recursively-defined identifiers.
* First-class modules: module expressions can be embedded as
values of the core language, then manipulated like any other
first-class value, then projected back to the module level.
* New operator to modify a signature a posteriori: S with type
t := tau denotes signature S where the t type component is
removed and substituted by the type tau elsewhere.
* New notations for record expressions and record patterns:
{ lbl } as shorthand for { lbl = lbl }, and { ...; _ } marks
record patterns where some labels were intentionally omitted.
* Local open let open ... in ... now supported by popular demand.
* Type variables can be bound as type parameters to functions;
such types are treated like abstract types within the
function body, and like type variables (possibly generalized)
outside.
* The module type of construct enables to recover the module
type of a given module.
* Explicit method override using the method! keyword, with
associated warnings and errors.
Changes in 5.11.4:
* ADDED: library coinduction.pl, after discussion with Gopal Gupta.
* CLEANUP: Share more of the Makefiles between Windows and the rest
* FIXED: destruction of a queue if a thread is waiting to write
* FIXED: error by current_blob/2.
* MODIFIED: incorrect handling of (^)/2 in setof/3 and bagof/3.
The new version should now fully comply to ISO. As of now,
- The predicate ^/2 no longer exists
- ^ is only handled by bagof/setof if it appears
directly at the toplevel of the 2nd argument.
E.g., the following is NOT allowed:
setof(X, (foo(X); Y^foo(Y)), L).
Code must be rewritten. At runtime, problems are signalled
by ^/2 being undefined. compile-time analysis can be achieved using
gxref/0 (or check/0 for quick-and-dirty).
* FIXED: GC error when nesting (if->then/*no-else*/) inside \+.
Thanks to test-case by Keri Harris.
* FIXED: retractall(x(X,X)). Roberto Tiella.
Changes in 5.11.3:
* FIXED: Top level now performs expand_goal/2 *after* correcting the
goal.
* MODIFIED: PL_CUTTED -> PL_PRUNED. Kept PL_CUTTED as a #define for
compatibility.
* FIXED: Correctly read RDF/XML that is in UTF-8 on Windows.
* ENHANCED: Faster enumeration of subjects for writing small RDF gaphs
* ENHANCED: Better sizing of the hash-tables.
* CLEANUP: Use size_t in many places for RDF-DB
* ADDED: RDF-DB index on +,+,+. This provides a significant speedup in
loading databases with multiple objects on the same SP.
* ADDED: Syntax closer to ISO with set_prolog_flag(iso,true).
See Prolog flag iso for a detailed description.
* MAINT: Fix compilation under -DO_DEBUG. Andy Valencia.
* FIXED: Syntax: proper bracketing of arguments
* MODIFIED: Simpler syntax within { }.
According to 6.3.6 the term within curly brackets is read with
priority 1201, so no extra parentheses are needed.
Changes in 5.11.2:
* ADDED: lang_equal/2 to RDF library to test language equality. Jacco
van Ossenbruggen
* FIXED: Error from http_absolute_location/3 if an alias is not
defined.
* FIXED: Avoid error in edit/1 hook if an HTTP path-alias is undefined.
* ADDED: Just-in-time creation of thread-pools for the HTTP server
using the new hook
http:create_pool/1. Cleanup of the code for faster spawning of
worker-threads.
* MODIFIED: Threaded server defaults: keep-alive-timeout is now 2
seconds (was 5)
and the worker-count is now 5 (was 2). Worker-count is increased
because many
servers need it as since version 5.9.x there is hardly a price for
more workers.
* ADDED: option hide_children(Bool) to make prefix handlers hide their
children
and allow http_delete_handler to delete a handler-by-id.
* PORT: Realise set_end_of_file in Windows version
* ENHANCED: Implement safe-locking of the RDF persistent database
* ADDED: set_end_of_stream/1.
* PORT: Fix for MS VS2010 compilation. Degski.
* ADDED: lang_matches/2 to library(rdf_db)
* FIXED: url_to_filename/2 in rdf_persistency was broken due to
steadfastness
fix in DCG (commit 1a1a5699). Jacco van Ossenbruggen.
* FIXED: list_settings/0. Li Li.
* FIXED: handling of = and contains in xpath. Carsten van Weelden.
* ADDED: library(semweb/sparql_client) providing a SPARQL client API.
* ENHANCED: Layout for listing where the body resides in another
module.
* ENHANCED: Provide style pldoc(Id) with each PlDoc handler
* ADDED: reply_html_page/3: re-stylable HTML pages
* FIXED: Possible crash in cleanup handlers.
See comment above discardChoicesAfter() for more details.
* ENHANCED: Make it possible to give syntax-warnings with exact
positions.
* ADDED: Warnings for missing quotes for , and |
* MODIFIED: Stricter list syntax. E.g. [a,b|c,d] or [a|b|c] are now
illegal.
In the unlikely case this was intended, the term after the bar (|)
must be
enclosed in brackets. I.e. [a,b|(c,d)] or [a|(b|c)].
* FIXED: Syntax: proper quoting of | and ,
* PORT: Improve behavioral consistency between 32-bit and 64-bit
allocation
* FIXED: Memory leak for threads allocating chunks of 512 bytes. Matt
Lilley.
* ADDED: computing SHA incrementally. Ivan Shmakov
* INSTALL: Item#567: make check of xpce loading user's .plrc
* FIXED: steadfastness in DCG translation. Item#379
* FIXED: Item#559: hanging system in GC. Only affects 32-bit platforms
when doing GC on large stacks that have >8Mb chunks of continuous
garbage. Ulrich Neumerkel.
* DOC: errors for atom_length/2. Ulrich Neumerkel.
* ADDED: Library(http/js_write) to embed JavaScript calls into HTML
pages
* FIXED: Processing of stack-limit options in thread_create/3. Jacco.
* FIXED: Avoid direct access to private predicates of module error.
* ADDED: rdf_reachable/5, providing a distance limit and returning the
distance.
* ADDED: rdf_is_resource/1 and rdf_is_literal/1 for completeness.
* FIXED: Thread-creation if ulimit -s == infinite.
* FIXED: Do not skip character after . in turtle parser. Lourens van
der Meij.
* PORT: Windows snprintf --> _snprintf
* MODIFIED: On systems that provide getrlimit(), the default
C-stack-size of
created threads is the same as that of the main thread. This was
already
the default on Linux, but not on e.g. MacOS.
* ADDED: statistics(c_stack, StackSize) to query the system (C-)stack
limit.
For consistency, thread_create now also accepts c_stack as parameter.
This patch also cleans some type-issues with regard to stack-size
specification and removes 2Gb limit for Win64 due to the use of long.
* ADDED: Skos prefix
* ADDED: http_server_property/2. This patch also does some cleanup to
the meta-predicate declarations for the multi-threaded HTTP server.
* FIXED: Check for integer overflows in numeric-arguments for
format-specifiers
* FIXED: Possible buffer overflow on format('~200f', [1]). Mike
Elston.
* ADDED: library(http/http_openid), supporting OpenID consumers and a
server.
* ADDED: library(http/http_host) to obtain the public hostname of our
HTTP service
* CLEANUP: Stricter type-checking in load_files/2. Discussion on
comp.lang.prolog.
* FIXED: Old naming conventions. Julian Zubek.
* FIXED: Atom-GC for blobs that do not have PL_BLOB_UNIQUE. Samer
Abdallah.
* ADDED: Allow for selective importing of operators in use_module/2.
After discussion with Vitor.
* PORT: Do not use chrpath if the kernel is not a shared object
* PORT: Some type-issues in socket libs (nonblockio.c)
I do not think any of these could have been fatal. They just produce
alarming messages from the compiler.
Changes in 5.11.1:
* PORT: Windows: make fake EWOULDBLOCK error compatible with new def in
VS2010
* PORT: Fix download of Windows prerequisites for Windows 7. Degski.
* ADDED: Support for "406 Not Acceptable" responses in the HTTP server.
* INSTALL: make prepare check all checked-out modules, regardless of
-a.
* FIXED: Cleanup after uncaught stack-overflow exceptions. Paul
Singleton.
* DOC: Fixed code for skeleton client. Mike Elston.
* FIXED: ?= for cases where the arguments do not unify. Marco Montali.
* FIXED: Possible crash on stack-shift in cleanup handler. Jochem
Liem.
* FIXED: Possibly wrong association of $and in frozen/2. Samer
Abdallah.
* FIXED: Handling option register_namespaces(true) in rdf_load/2.
Vangelis Vassiliadis.
* MODIDIED: rdf_assert/4 now discards *complete* duplicates (incl
source).
* PORT: Avoid including termios.h into pl-os.h to localise the
dependencies
and (hopefully) make the system compile on Solaris.
* PORT: Get prototype for posix_openpt(), avoiding warning
* PORT: Move time-dependencies where they are needed; use POSIX
clock_gettime() if it is provided.
* DOC: Enhance comments of rb_insert/4 and rb_insert_new/4.
* MODIFIED: Make rdf_meta/1 module-aware. This means that calls are
only expanded if they resolve to the exact predicate that is declared
using rdf_meta. This might break code relying on the old behaviour
that expansion took place regardless of the module.
It is possible to get a warning on calls that used to be expanded
and are now not using this call before *loading* the program:
?- debug(rdf_meta).
The new code also expands NS:Local appearing literally in the head
of rdf_meta-declared clauses.
Pkgsrc changes:
o Now pass the --optimize flag to configure
o Pull in devel/gmp/buildlink3.mk so that multi-precision arithmetic
is enabled (and gets testing)

executable of a Python script, from Helge Muehlmeier per pkgsrc-wip
This pkg abuses Python distutils in a non-portable way, so I've
added a hack which relinks the startup code behind setuptools'
back. This is easier than patching the setup.py script into doing trt.

3.9.0
=====
* Prerelease of the 4.0.0 that will be R6RS compliant.
* The doc directory temporary removed from distrib.
The old docs obsolete and new is not ready.
* Simple R6RS-like library manager implemented.
"load" function removed (use "import" syntax instead).
* the ksi module system removed in a favour of new R6RS library system.
* `psyntax.ss' that implemented 'syntax-case' in older revisions of the ksi, was removed.
As a result, only core syntax evaluated by ksi.
And ksi core is not a R6RS core :-(
* '(gensym)' generate (almost) unique symbol names.
As a part of generated symbol name used a 'session_id' that is initialized at startup.
So, each ksi invocation has its own 'session_id'.
This can help (in a future) to hardly optimize the scheme code evaluation
Now the 'session_id' is initialized with random bits converted to readable string.
* the "do" syntax, "delay" syntax and "force" function was removed from the ksi core.
* the 'struct Ksi_Environ' and companions was rewriten almost completly.
Now the environment has the name, the export list
and the hashtab that maps the symbol to the value
A value can be a plain value (the symbol is a variable) or a syntax value.
If a symbol is bound to a syntax value, it can not be defined, assigned or
used in any other case except in a intented syntax form
As a special case, if a symbol is bound to a syntax value and the value is a procedure,
the procedure is applyed to the form before evaluating it.
(Look at 'ksi_defsyntax()' and 'ksi_compile()' for details).
This mechanics is intended for low-level macros (as "define-macro!")
and derived forms such as 'cond', 'case', etc.
The normal sanitary macro system planned ;-).
* All packed-in-the-pointer objects was removed.
Such objects as 'ksi_nil', 'ksi_false' and so on,
are implemented as a pointers to a memory location
that allocated when initializing the ksi library.
Do not be suprized the error if you use its before calling `ksi_init()'.
* The 'struct Ksi_Char' (added) is internal representation of a character now.
(first step to unicode).
* the GMP library used for exact arithmetics now.
As a result, the ksi supports the exact rational numbers now.
* The short integers was removed. Bignums are the only exact numbers now.
And predefined constans 'ksi_zero', 'ksi_one', etc was removed too.
(Use 'ksi_long2num()' in C code)
* A flonum has real and imag part always, and so, a flonum is a complex number now.
But 'real?' returns #t if imaginary part is zero
and 'number->string' do not print "+0.0i" if imaginary part is zero.
(This is not what R6RS requires but alas, it is the ksi)
* balanced comments are writen within "#| |#" construct now
(not with "#! !#" as in the previous revisions of the ksi).
The sequence "#!<identifier>" used for the reader directives now.
In addition, to support the scheme scripts, the sequence "#! " (note whitespace)
and "#!/" in the very begin of a file supposed as a one-line comment.
* Reader now case-sensitive by default, as required R6RS.
Use the "#!fold-case" directive to switch the reader to the case-insensitive mode,
and "#!no-fold-case" to switch to the case-sensitive mode back.
* By default, the reader parses postfix keyword notation, such as "key:".
"#!keyword-prefix" switches the reader to prefix mode, such as ":key",
and "#!keyword-postfix" switches the reader back to postfix mode.
* By default, the reader do not parses the old ksi keyword notation, such as "#:key".
Use the "#!keyword-sharp" directive to switch the old mode on,
and "#!no-keyword-sharp" to switch off.
* "#!r6rs" directive switches the reader to the R6RS mode,
and "#!ksi" directive switches the reader to the default mode back.
In the r6rs mode:
-- the keywords are not parsed at all;
-- any sequence that starts with digit, '+', '-', '.', tried to be parsed as a number
and, if cannot, exception raised.
Otherwice the sequence is parsed as a symbol.
In the ksi mode:
-- the keywords are parsed;
-- any sequence, that starts with digit, or '+', '-', '.' folowed by digit,
tried to be parsed as a number and, if cannot, exception raised.
Otherwice the sequence is parsed as a symbol.
So, the sequence like '+x' is parsed as symbol in the ksi mode, but raise exception in the r6rs mode.
Note that in the previous revisions of the ksi, any sequence,
that cannot be parsed as a number, was considered as a symbol (never exception raised).
3.5.1
=====
* bugfixes
* (Windows) ksi dll name has version info now.
3.5.0
=====
* code refactoring
Continuation barriers now block only downward continuation jumps
and allow escapes through full continuations
Changed internal-definition handling to allow expressions mixed
with definitions
Added support for subprocesses as new process groups
Added support for best-effort termination of subprocess by a
custodian
Added flreal-part, flimag-part, make-flrectangular, and unsafe
variants
Added fl->eact-integer, fl->fx, and unsafe-fl->fx
Added #:async-apply option to _fun
Added chaperone-evt
Added identifier-prune-to-source-module
Changed apply binding to enable lower-level optimizations
Upgraded to libffi 3.0.9+
Highlights:
- configure system rewritten and simplified
- better emulation of SWI, especially of C-interface, allows:
o port of SWI packages: sgml and plunit work better, clib, RDF,
zlib and http seem to be working well, semweb compiles
o better integration with C: it is now possible to call YAP from JPL
reliably (all tests in the demos/java directory succeed in Linux)
o it is now possible to create a stream with SWI routines and use
YAP IO (parser, writer) on it
o pyswip: YAP now includes a version of the pyswip package for
experimentation: all the demos seem to be work (YAP must be compiled
as a dynamic library)
- compilation in Sun and NetBSD
- YAP can now handle very, very large terms in compiled clauses.
- several new builtins
- improve thread implementation, especially locking in IO routines and indexing
o fix C thread interface
- fix odbc support in MYDDAS
- fix overflow in ==
- fix bad call to subsumes/2
- new version of trie library, developed by Theo and Ricardo
Changes in sbcl-1.0.41 relative to sbcl-1.0.40:
* optimization: validity of observed keyword initargs to MAKE-INSTANCE is
cached, leading to many fewer expensive calls to
COMPUTE-APPLICABLE-METHODS.
* optimization: in the (unoptimized) general method for MAKE-INSTANCE on a
CLASS argument, search for and call an appropriate optimized ctor function
if it exists.
* bug fix: WRITE always returns the correct value.
NEWS FROM 3.2.1 TO 3.2.2
o Fixes to gst-remote.
o Fixes to the Emacs mode.
o Fixes to compilation warnings.
o Generational GC is broken on SPARC and is now disabled.
o When compiling a 32-bit version on a 64-bit system, detection of
which packages to install was improved.
NEWS FROM 3.2 TO 3.2.1
o All built-in packages can be disabled with a configure option like
--disable-gdbm or --disable-complex.
o All tools support --verbose.
o Fixed bugs in the distributed gnu-smalltalk.pc file.
o Improved portability to Solaris.
o Many bug fixes to UDP sockets. In particular, daragrams received from
a socket can be placed directly onto another socket using #nextPut:.
o Many improvements to VisualGST.
o Each test in the testsuite has a 1-minute timeout.
o The undocumented DynamicVariable class in GNU Smalltalk 3.2 is now
documented, but it had a small change in the implementation. The
#defaultValue class method is not present anymore, and is replaced by
#valueIfAbsent:. Subclasses can override #value to obtain the
effect of #valueIfAbsent:.
The class has also been rewritten and is much faster now.
NEWS FROM 3.1 TO 3.2
Backwards-incompatible bug fixes and changes:
o Collection>>#anyOne gives an error if the receiver is empty.
o "aNumber raisedToInteger: 0" will raise an exception if and only if
aNumber is not a floating-point value. This was backwards in previous
versions.
o Interval>>#first and Interval>>#last give an error if the interval is
empty (i.e. if start > stop and the step is positive, or start < stop
and the step is negative).
o SequenceableCollection>>#sortBy: was renamed to #sort:. The old message
is _not_ provided for backwards-compatibility.
o The semantics of recursive directory descent were adjusted as follows:
1) the '.' and '..' directory entries are not passed; 2) for #do:, the
file is passed directly (3.1 used to pass another recursive decorator);
3) before the descent starts, the directory itself is passed to the block.
o The XML parser will ignore whitespace if placed in non-validating mode.
o The suggested way to instantiate an XML parser is now using
"SAXParser defaultParserClass", which will work with either of the
two available parsers (the existing Smalltalk parsers, and the Expat
bindings; see below).
New features (base classes):
o Floating-point rounding to integer is now correct also for very
large numbers; fix contributed by Nicolas Cellier.
o Methods have been added to Integer to print numbers with padding
to a specified width.
o New FilePath methods #owner:, #group:, #owner:group: allow setting
a file's owner and group.
o Sending mode, file time and owner setters to a recursive directory
decorator (such as `Directory working all') sets the mode/time/owner
on all files under the path.
o Speedups for hashed collections
o String>>#subStrings: accepts a single separator character or also, in
accordance with ANSI, a String holding a list of separators.
o The old instance-based exception handling has been removed. Standard
ANSI class-based exceptions have been available since GNU Smalltalk 1.8.2.
o The text-based #inspect method is now available also as
Object>>#examine and Object>>#examineOn:, so that it will also work
on arbitrary streams and will be available when a GUI is loaded.
Contributed by Stefan Schmiedl.
New features (tools):
o gst-convert can emit Squeak fileouts.
o New graphical interface VisualGST, loaded with gst-browser. The old
browser is still available, but obsolete.
o New ProfilerTools package for callgraph profiling of Smalltalk programs.
A companion gst-profile tool will create profiles in callgrind-compatible
format. Contributed by Derek Zhou.
o Packages can be downloaded and updated directly from the network. The
repository of packages is at http://smalltalk.gnu.org/project; the
repository holds the location of the package.xml files, which point to
the svn or git URL of the code.
In order to download a package with git, version 1.6.2 is required.
o SUnit supports expected failures.
New features (VM):
o Fixes in garbage collection heuristics provide improved performance on
programs allocating many long-lived objects. Contributed by Derek Zhou.
o Floating-point numbers are now read correctly.
o In idle times, GNU Smalltalk will perform incremental garbage
collection. When it finishes, GNU Smalltalk will consume zero CPU.
o Mostly rewritten Windows port. It should mostly work except for
sockets. The socket code will be rewritten (for all platforms)
for 3.3 anyway.
o Support for one-way become (Object>>#becomeForward:)
o The millisecond clock uses CLOCK_MONOTONIC where available.
New features (packages):
o Many improvements to the Gtk bindings.
o NetClients supports ESMTP commands.
o New goodie, the SandstoneDb object persistence framework.
o Swazoo upgraded to version 2.2, plus local fixes.
o The Complex package uses numerically stable algorithms
o The Continuations package provides delimited continuations via
BlockClosure>>#shift and BlockClosure>>#reset. Both methods accept
a block (1-arg for shift, 0-arg for reset).
o An XML pull parser is included as package XML-PullParser. The package
is based on the VisualWorks and Squeak pull parsers by Anthony Blakey
and Ken Treis.
o In addition to the validating XML parser, a non-validating Expat-based
parser is available in package XML-Expat. The Expat parser is
experimental, but it is very fast and supports both pull and push
operation.
Bug fixes:
o Code running as a Generator now honors exception handlers outside the
Generator block.
o Fixed copying of Dictionary to not share the underlying associations.
o Fixed ##() expressions that return a block
o EPIPE is handled correctly.
o Running on kernels without SOCK_CLOEXEC support will not fail
even if the VM was compiled on a kernel that supported it.
o The Sockets package failed to initialize when the machine was not
connected to the network; this has been fixed.
o The Transcript now uses a RecursionLock. This fixes crashes when
an exception occurred while printing a backtrace.
Miscellaneous:
o GNU Smalltalk now does not rely anymore on specific (old) versions
of libtool.
o GNU Smalltalk tries to enable Emacs modes automatically on systems
that support a site-lisp/site-start.d directory.
o REPL autocompletion includes all symbols including unary messages
(and variable names).
o Process-local variables are now stored in an IdentityDictionary rather
than a LookupTable.

Suppport conditional PLIST inclusion of the expected egg file, because
python2.4 distutils does not create them but later versions do. (Note
that PRINT_PLIST_AWK production is not working, probably due to order
of substitution.)
Earlier patch reviewed by wiz@.
egg info files in non-egg python distributions.
Add a comment that PY_NO_EGG appears wrong. Obviously there is a
reason it was added, but we need to figure out why and if it's still
true.
Import textual Racket version as lang/racket-textual.
Racket (formerly PLT Scheme) is a specific dialect of the Lisp
language based on the Scheme branch of the Lisp family.
Overview of changes from 0.8.3 to 0.8.4
=======================================

- Fix test-storage.c
pkgsrc changes: desupport build options that are turned into module packages.
2.49 (2010-07-07)
=================
User visible changes
--------------------
* New command line option -disable-readline lets working around bugs and
incompatibilities between readline CLISP was built against and the
library actually installed.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/clisp.html#opt-norl> for details.
* FFI:OPEN-FOREIGN-LIBRARY now accepts the :REQUIRE argument.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/dffi.html#dffi-open-lib> for details.
* New user variable CUSTOM:*USER-LIB-DIRECTORY* is respected by REQUIRE
and used by "clisp-link install".
Dynamic modules are now the default build option.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/require.html> and
<http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/clisp-link.html> for details.
* Function RENAME-FILE now accepts :IF-EXISTS argument which determines
the action when the destination exists, unless, of course, *ANSI* is T.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/file-func.html#rename-file> for details.
* The replacement value entered by the user in STORE-VALUE and USE-VALUE
restarts is now EVALuated.
* The old user variable CUSTOM:*PRINT-CLOSURE* now controls interpreted
closure output too (RFE#3001956). This is a tricky feature, read up!
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/multi-rep.html#pr-closure>.
* Module readline now supports readline 6.1.
(Older versions are, of course, still supported).
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/readline-mod.html> for details.

Changes in sbcl-1.0.40 relative to sbcl-1.0.39:
* bug fix: readdir now works on :inode64 darwin builds (lp#592897)
* bug fix: Name conflicts between symbols passed as arguments to a single
call to IMPORT no longer add multiple symbols with the same name to the
package (detectable via DO-SYMBOLS).
* bug fix: support building without the dlshim on darwin x86 and x86-64
(lp#533470).
* bug fix: TRACE :ENCAPSULATE NIL now works on ppc/linux.
ECL 10.4.1:
===========
* Bugs fixed:
- Fixed offset problems in READ/WRITE-SEQUENCE.
- In multithreaded ECL, the signal servicing thread was not created
due to a stale debug statement.
- The tool 'ecl-config' contained unsubstituted values, such as @LDRPATH@
because these variablesls had been renamed in the autoconf file.
- The reimplementation of DIRECTORY introduced a bug in pathnames with ending
double wildcars, such as "/foo/**/".
- EXT:SAFE-EVAL (or cl_safe_eval in C) would attempt to start the debugger
when an error was signaled.
- The logical hostname EXT: did not have a pathname translation relative to
that of SRC:
- After loading the compiler, the COMMON-LISP package was left unlocked
against changes.
- ECL can build again itself using a C++ compiler (--with-cxx thus works).
- ecl_make_file_stream_from_fd() did not set the right mode in the stream
structure.
- ECL did not understand type declarations that involved symbol macros.
- (SETF STREAM-EXTERNAL-FORMAT) inserted the wrong format type in some cases.
* Visible changes:
- The source location annotator records the original pathnames instead of
truenames. This allows Slime to find out the ECL sources even if they
have been moved.
- The signal servicing thread now carries the name SI:SIGNAL-SERVICING, which
is different from the name of the threads that are created to actually
handle those signals. Users should avoid killing SI:SIGNAL-SERVICING.
- FFI:CLINES admits the notation @lisp-object, just like FFI:C-INLINE. The
result is that @lisp-object gets replaced with a pointer to the given
lisp object, created at run time.
- Gray streams implement a new generic function, GRAY:STREAM-FILE-DESCRIPTOR
which is used by SERVE-EVENT to gather the C file descriptor or Windows
handle used to wait on input from the device.
- ECL restores the habit of installing manual pages for ecl and ecl-config.
- We have removed the obsolete versions of the documentation files. The
up to date documentation now lives in a separate source repository,
as explained in http://ecls.sourceforge.net/download.html
- The encoding :DEFAULT implies looking up in the special variable
EXT:*DEFAULT-EXTERNAL-FORMAT* the actual value of the encoding, which may be
a known one, or :pass-through.
- LOAD now accepts the keyword argument :EXTERNAL-FORMAT
* ASDF:
- ECL's contributed modules and ECL's compiler can now be used in standalone
programs, for they are now stored both in FASL form and as statically linked
libraries.
- ASDF:MAKE-BUILD takes a new keyword argument, :MOVE-HERE, that allows moving
the files that ASDF creates to the current directory. :MOVE-HERE can be the
boolean value T, in which case the files are output at ./asdf-output/ or a
pathname designator with the actual destination.
- ASDF:MAKE-BUILD admits a new type, :BINARY, which creates a standalone
system (*.asd) accompanied by two binary files, statically linked library
(.a or .lib), and a FASL (*.fasb). This can be used, to replace existing
systems with precompiled ones.
New in version 1.0.39
- bug fix: Backtrace from undefined function on x86 and x86-64
now show the calling frame.
- bug fix: linkage-table entries on PPC now no longer overflow
their space allocation (potentially causing crashes if they
are written out of order).
- bug fix: Scrub control stack after scavenging in gencgc on
non-x86oid platforms, preventing the GC from seeing stale
pointers on the control stack in subsequent GCs (which would,
and does, break invariants).
- bug fix: 32-bit unicode external formats now work on big-endian systems.
- bug fix: Literal characters with code points greater than
about 32767 now work on PPC UNICODE builds.
- bug fix: Any noise left by SSE operations (sqrt and
conversions) in the high order bits are explicitly cleared
out. In some contrived situations, this could lead to wrong
results in mixed real/complex float arithmetic.
- bug fix: Fix function/macro redefinition warnings when
building with clisp. (#576787, thanks to Josh Elsasser)
- new platform: experimental support for ppc/openbsd (thanks to
Josh Elsasser).
- bug fix: Floating-point traps now work on ppc/linux.
Changes in 1.6.0_20 (6u20)
* OlsonData 2010b
* A Java Network Launch Protocol (JNLP) file without a codebase parameter, such
as the following, will no longer work with the Java SE 6 update 20 release.
<jnlp spec="0.2 1.0" href="draw.jnlp">
This means that developers must specify the codebase parameter in a JNLP file.
See the following example:
<jnlp spec="0.2 1.0"
codebase="http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javawebstart/apps/"
href="draw.jnlp">
* This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities.
For more information, please see Oracle Security Alert for CVE-2010-0886
Changes in 1.6.0_19 (6u19)
* OlsonData 2010b
* Root Certificates
* Ensuring Application and Applet Security when Mixing Signed and Unsigned Code
* Interim Fix for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) Man-in-the-Middle Attack

* VisualVM 1.2
* Java DB 10.5.3.0
* Performance Improvements
* Deployment Updates
* JSR-173 StAX 1.2 API Upgrade
* Bug Fixes
* New compile option '-x'. This causes the compiler to produce an
executable program. '-fmain' is deprecated.
* Remove long option --verbose. Use '-v' for verbosity. Problem is
with getopt_long_only which does not like eg. -mv
* New conformity option -std=bs2000.
* FUNCTION is implemented. See cobc/reserved.c for a list of what is
implemented.
* Nested programs are partially supported.

* Support for non-gcc compilers.
* Large file support, system dynamic loading and Berkeley DB inclusion
are default for the configure.
* New configure option --with-patch-level=<n>
* At run time, version checking is done. ie. When executing/loading
Cobol programs, the version (eg. 0.33) and the patch level (eg. 0)
are checked against the OC library version/patch level.
* Libtool is not required for systems that support native dynamic
loading. This includes Linux, Cygwin and MingW amongst others.
* Note to developers : See README for required software versions.
pulseaudio plugin unless option selected. Option off by default
so no change to default package build.
Fixes build if you happen to have pulseaudio package installed when
building.
==================================
New features and changes since 2.3
==================================
(1) Maude 2.4 provides an order-sorted Ax-unification algorithm for
all order-sorted theories (CSigma, E U Ax) such that:
- the signature Sigma is preregular modulo Ax;
- the axioms Ax associated to function symbols are as follows:
- there can be arbitrary function symbols and constants with
no equational attributes;
- the iter equational attribute can be declared for some unary
symbols;
- the comm or assoc comm attributes can be declared for some
binary function symbols, but then no other equational
attributes must be given for such symbols.
Explicitly excluded are theories with binary function symbols having
either: (i) the id:, left id:, or right id: attributes; or (ii) the
assoc attribute without the comm one; or (iii) a combination of (i)
and (ii).
(2) Unification is reflected in the META-LEVEL module by two descent
functions:
op metaUnify : Module UnificationProblem Nat Nat ~>
UnificationPair? [special (...)].
op metaDisjointUnify : Module UnificationProblem Nat Nat ~>
UnificationTriple? [special (...)].
(3) Statements (rule, equations and membership axioms) can now take a
print attribute. In print attribute mode, when a statement is executed
the items in its print attribute are printed, with variables taking
their value in the current substitution.
(4) Parsing of file names in the commands load, in, cd and pushd now
allows spaces using either of two syntactic conventions:
If the file name starts with " then all following characters will be
taken literally up to the terminating ", line feed or form feed.
If a file name starts with other than ", the following escape
sequences are recognized
\\ becomes \
\<space> becomes <space>
\" becomes "
(5) For operators in the C, CU, CI and CUI theories, if both arguments
are the same, the rewrite, srewrite and search commands and the model
checker will only consider one of the arguments for that step since
only one rewriting step is made per pass, the choice of argument is
irrelevant. This already happened for operators in the AC and ACU
theories. The frewrite command still always considers all arguments
even if they are identical since multiple rewriting steps can happen
in each pass.
(6) The GNU libsigsegv library is used to distinguigh between true
segmentation faults and stack overflows and so stack overflows are now
reported with an informative message.
(7) Several optimizations, bug fixes and improvements.
Changes since 1.2 release:
- Try to fetch X86 CPU identification using "cpuid" instruction
- Detect Ubuntu version
- Only use 64-bit libraries when running on 64-bit kernel
- Fixes for builds with older versions of Visual C
- Dectect Windows 7
- Fix Garbage Collection crashes after calling an external function

* include patch from Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> for sparc/solaris8
* port to x86_64/Solaris - many thanks to:
Scott L. Burson <Scott@coral8.com>
* fix a bug in arithmetics (mod)
* fix a bug in the FD solver (under 64 bits machines)
Changes in Yap-6.0.5:
- Very large programs: indexing very large DBs requires very large
intermediate data-structures. malloc is changed to avoid
memory fragmentation.
- Heap data-structures: there was some confusion about what should be
going through save/restore and atom-gc, and what is local to a
run. Fixed that by two files describing the two types: global
variables and code-space data structures.
- SWI emulation cleanup: some builti-ins (like predsort/3, plus/3) are
now in YAP proper, the file was cleaned up and made to rely more on
Changes in Yap-6.0.4:
Overhaul/cleanup of the attributed variable and coroutining code:
- attributed variables now don't have a separate stack; instead,
they are allocated as global variables.
- Prolog code for attributed variables cleaned up: layers now
are engine, hprolog/SWI attvars, freeze and SICStus emulation
libraries
Changes in Yap-6.0.3:
6.0.3 is another bug fix release:
- a bug in indexing large integers
- a choice-point left over in consulting
- fix error handling in comparisons
- garbage collection of functor/3 could sometimes break
- fixes to chr port
- exec_prefix
- bad error reporting in some arithmetic conditions
- erf function
- win32 install fixes
- operators need to be exported in module list, some weren't.
- tabling stuff
Changes in Yap-6.0.2:
This is a bug fix release:
- fix current_op/3 in WIN32 (P Moura)
- fix nb_current/2 (J Santos) and add SWI user:exception/3
(Bernd and Jose), add fix to nb_ in distributed ProbLog.
- fix goal_expansion
- fix clp(fd) all_distinct/1 and circuit/1 (M Triska)
- fix seekable file detection in WIN32
- add yap.pdf and yap.html to win32 bundle (M Ferreira).
- check for badly typed calls to load_files and friends.
- threads: fix bad locking while spying (P Moura).
Changes in Yap-6.0.1:
- engine improvements;
- many bug fixes;
- new implementation of arithmetic;
- better ISO compatibility;
- improvements in tabling;
- SWI-compatibility, YAP now includes support for most of the
SWI foreign interface, and many built-ins, ports of SWI
packages include jpl, chr, clpfd, clpr, sgml, prolog_xref,
swi-minisat interface, and plunit;
- yap-6 also includes a really cool new language called ProbLog.
Changes in Yap-5.1.4:
- FIXED: bad locking in p_signal (obs from Paulo Moura).
- FIXED: DESTDIR and chr.
- FIXED: make term_variables a builtin. (SWI compatibility).
- NEW: X is random(Int) (SWI compatibility).
- NEW: seletchk/3.
- FIXED: do meta-expansion from undefp.
- FIXED: handle correctly flatten([_,[_]],L).
- FIXED: bad syntax in config.h (patch from Keri Harris).
- NEW: format over atom/1.
- FIXED: clean up apply_macros in swi mode.
- FIXED: clean up meta-expansion.
- FIXED: do meta-expansion from undefined call.
- NEW: selectchk/3, nth1/3 and nth1/4.
- FIXED: YapOpcodes has wrong formats (obs from Bart Demoen).
- FIXED: improve format message (obs from Bart Demoen).
- NEW: more versions of maplist (obs from Bart Demoen).
- FIXED: use import mechanism for SWI's flatten/2 (obs from Bart Demoen).
- FIXED: steps towards typed rbtrees plus some cases where one should not copy the null node (Tom Schrijvers and Bart
Demoen).
- FIXED: map_tree in trees library (Bart Demoen).
- FIXED: bad call to splay_tree (Bart Demoen).
- FIXED: bad type for write_x_var in add_info (Bart Demoen).
- FIXED: exec/3 should flush streams.
- FIXED: load_files/2 compilation_mode to allow :- source and replace compile by compact.
- FIXED: list_concat/2 (fix from Bart Demoen).
- NEW: dgraph_reachable/3 and friends.
Notable changes in SWI-Prolog 5.11.0:
* ODBC now properly handles locale. This means you can
use it with Unicode if you use a UTF-8 based locale.
* Recently reported manifest problems around xpce should be
fixed with help from Degski.
* Message queues can now be destroyed while they have suspended
writers, making pipe-like cooperation between threads much easier.
* Using set_prolog_flag(qcompile, auto), you can ask the system
to automatically maintain quick-load versions of your source-files.
This can greatly improve development comfort for really large
applications.
* Jeff Rosenwald contributed an interface for Google protocol buffers
Notable changes in SWI-Prolog 5.9.10:
* A lot of stuff has been added to enhance the compatibility to SICStus.
This involves some changes to the kernel, some additions to the libraries
and starting and populating a SICStus emulation layer. All this was
initiated by the with to make the Alpino NLP parser suite
(http://www.let.rug.nl/vannoord/alp/Alpino/) available for SWI-Prolog.
Thanks to Gertjan van Noord, this is now almost reality (there
are some remaining tweaks, notably with the Tcl/Tk interface).
* Also various enhancements and fixes to the tabbed-editing support for
the built-in editor.
