From this release we don't use external Boehm GC library because
gauche needs GC to be built with special compilation options.
New features in 0.8.6:
* New modules:
+ dbi: Database independent access layer, providing unified
access to various relational databases. You need separate
"driver" packages to access the actual RDBMS. There are a
few driver packages available at
http://www.kahua.org/cgi-bin/kahua.fcgi/kahua-web/show/dev/DBI/.
Note: If you have been using the separate dbi module, make
sure you remove it before using the new dbi and dbd
modules. You can find the old dbi.scm under somewhere like
/usr/local/share/gauche/site/lib (the actualy directory
depends on the configuration when you've installed the dbi
module).
+ util.relation: A framework to work with relations (as defined
by Codd). The result of database access via dbi is represened as
a relation.
+ text.sql: SQL parser/constructor. Full features are not
implemented yet, but used in dbi module for prepared queries.
* New SRFIs:
+ SRFI-40 (Library of streams) as util.stream.
+ SRFI-43 (vector library) as srfi-43.
+ SRFI-45 (Primitives for Expressing Iterative Lazy
Algorithms) : built-in.
* New built-in proceduers global-variable-bound? and
glboal-variable-ref. The former supersedes symbol-bound? (
symbol-bound? is now deprecated and will go away in the future
releases. Code that uses symbol-bound? should change it to
global-variable-bound?. ). The latter removes some need of using
eval just to peek the value of the global variable.
* New regexp procedures: regexp-replace*, regexp-replace-all*,
regexp-case-fold?.
* Stack overflow handling is largely improved. You can see better
performance if your script frequently oveflows the stack.
0.8.5 was a maintainance release.
0.8.4:
Gauche 0.8.4:
The compiler and VM have been rewritten. Now Gauche runs faster with
less memory (as fast as 1.9x, or cosumes 0.7x memory, in best cases of
our tests. But your mileage may vary.) The compiler now does simple
closure optimization, so the typical loop-by-local-closure style code
will get the advantage. On the other hand, you won't see much gain in
OO-heavy or library-heavy programs.
Other changes:
* New features:
+ srfi-42 (Eager comprehension) is supported.
+ srfi-55 (require-extension) is supported.
+ A simple sampling profiler is implemented to help tuning
programs. Check out "Profiling and tuning" section of the
reference manual. The profiler may not be available on all
platforms.
+ We provide an experimenal Windows/MinGW binary package for
the convenience. See download page.
Changes since 4.48:
- Added a check for .include lines in all Makefiles and *.mk files to make
sure that only existant files are referenced and that pkgsrc packages do
not contain references to packages in pkgsrc-wip.
- Extended the --autofix option to all Makefile* and *.mk files. Before, only the
package Makefile could be fixed.
- Rewrote the detection of direct use of tool names.
- Append-only lists may be initialized using the "?=" operator.
- The typical form of ShellWords for CONFIGURE_ARGS, --foo=${FOODIR}, is checked for
quoting errors.
- All PKG_OPTIONs are checked whether they are documented in mk/defaults/\
options.description.
- Many small fixes and improvements.
Notable changes from NEWS:
* Major changes in 2.0.2
* Major changes in 2.0.1
** New add-on riece-xfaceb.el, which displays X-Face/Colour Face in
IRC buffers. (Steve Youngs)
* Major changes in 2.0.0
** Support multiple coding-systems on a server.
You can use different coding-systems for different channels. (ueno)
For example:
(setq riece-channel-coding-system-alist
'(("#euc-jp" . euc-jp)
("#utf-8 irc.freenode.net" . utf-8)))
** Support uninstall, unload (dangerous) operations for add-ons.
Now you can fully customize riece-addons in the add-on listing
mode. (ueno)
** New mechanism for executing Ruby programs. To use it, see the
commentary section of riece-ruby.el. (ueno)
** New add-on riece-eval-ruby.el, which regards user input prefixed by
",ruby " as a Ruby program and sends the result to the current
channel. (ueno)
** New add-on riece-shrink-buffer.el, which now takes care of periodic
buffer shrinking. If you have set riece-max-buffer-size, you will
need to enable the riece-shrink-buffer add-on in the add-on listing
mode. (ueno)
** Allow "@" instead of " " as a separator of a channel name and an
IRC server name. (ueno)
** Rewrite the Japanese manual (riece-ja.texi) for IRC & Emacs
newbies. (ueno)
** Include a document for developers (doc/HACKING{,.ja}) (ueno)
* Major changes in 1.0.8
** Mitigate file locking scheme of riece-log. (ueno)
** Format idle seconds in human readable form. (ueno)
** Support SXEmacs version names. (Steve Youngs)
** Support CTCP TIME. (Steve Youngs)

Changes from NEWS:
The focus of this release is on the exciting new features sponsored by
Google via their Summer of Code program. However, we have quite a bunch of
other stuff too. Here are the highlights:
* Connectors: A new Connector tool implements creation, editing, and
autorouting (object-avoiding) of connector lines between objects.
Indispensable for diagramming. (A Google SoC project.)
* Inkboard collaborative editing: You can now connect to other Inkscape
users over the Net and edit a shared document together, watching
others' changes and making yours! (A Google SoC project.)
* Pressure and tilt sensitivity: the Calligraphy tool can now use a
tablet pen with pressure/tilt support to vary the width and angle of
the calligraphic stroke.
* Better node editing: You can freely drag/bend/stretch a Bezier curve
by any point (not only by a node), as well as add a new node at any
point on the curve.
* New extensions for envelope distortion, whirling, and adding nodes.
* Improved precision, expanded limits, many usability improvements and
bugfixes.
* A complete rewrite of date handling code, with improved timezone support.
* Significant performance improvements compared to PHP 5.0.X.
* PDO extension is now enabled by default (separate pkg for pkgsrc)
* Over 30 new functions in various extensions and built-in functionality.
* Bundled libraries, PCRE and SQLite upgraded to latest versions.
* Over 400 various bug fixes.
* PEAR upgraded to version 1.4.5
This release also fixes various security problems discovered in 5.0.X.

- Temporarily disabled the check for direct use of tool names.
- Fixed some false positive warnings.
- Added a check for the use of absolute pathnames in shell commands.
the appropriate tool via USE_TOOLS (usually "gs:run"), and remove
ghostscript.mk. This change removes a rather out-dated file from
pkgsrc and switches packages to use the more compact implementation
of the Ghostcript-handling inside the tools framework.

Changes since 4.45:
- Added the type ShellWord.
- Added quoting checks for variables that are appended to a
List of ShellWord.
- Multiple -v increase the verbosity.
- The --autofix option is no longer undocumented, but still experimental,
