When started as a service, gitea logs directly to the console, in
addition to its own log files. This change redirects the standard output
to /dev/null.
Bumps PKGREVISION.
Rather than letting openssl perform default validation, curl passes in
an explicit request to... use the certificates in the default
location. In cases where SSLCERTBUNDLE is defined (because the system
uses a bundle instead of the traditonal directory of trust anchors),
pass that to curl's configure.
As proposed on tech-pkg by Thomas Orgis, without objections.
Some systems choose unusual paths fro certs, and some use bundles.
Try to accomodate that, in particular by defining SSLCERTBUNDLE.
Patch concept from Thomas Orgis on tech-pkg, with no objections.
This is a long overdue update which skips the 3.1 major release.
py-gdal is also udpated.
Besides what is noted in upstream NEWS, gdalserver has been withdrawn.
See NEWS in the source tarball; this pkgsrc update corresponds to 1452
lines.

Redis 6.2.0 GA Released Tue Feb 22 14:00:00 IST 2021
================================================================================
Upgrade urgency: SECURITY if you use 32bit build of redis (see bellow), MODERATE
if you used earlier versions of Redis 6.2, LOW otherwise.
Integer overflow on 32-bit systems (CVE-2021-21309):
Redis 4.0 or newer uses a configurable limit for the maximum supported bulk
input size. By default, it is 512MB which is a safe value for all platforms.
If the limit is significantly increased, receiving a large request from a client
may trigger several integer overflow scenarios, which would result with buffer
overflow and heap corruption.
Bug fixes:
* Avoid 32-bit overflows when proto-max-bulk-len is set high
* Fix broken protocol in client tracking tracking-redir-broken message
* Avoid unsafe field name characters in INFO commandstats, errorstats, modules
* XINFO able to access expired keys during CLIENT PAUSE WRITE
* Fix allowed length for REPLCONF ip-address, needed due to Sentinel's support for hostnames
* Fix broken protocol in redis-benchmark when used with -a or --dbnum
* XADD counts deleted records too when considering switching to a new listpack
Bug fixes that are only applicable to previous releases of Redis 6.2:
* Fixes in GEOSEARCH bybox (accuracy and mismatch between width and height)
* Fix risk of OOM panic in HRANDFIELD, ZRANDMEMBER commands with huge negative count
* Fix duplicate replicas issue in Sentinel, needed due to hostname support
* Fix Sentinel configuration rewrite
Command behavior changes:
* SRANDMEMBER uses RESP3 array type instead of set type
* EXPIRE, EXPIREAT, SETEX, GETEX: Return error when provided expire time overflows
Other behavior changes:
* Remove ACL subcommand validation if fully added command exists.
Improvements:
* Optimize sorting in GEORADIUS / GEOSEARCH with COUNT
* Optimize HRANDFIELD and ZRANDMEMBER case 4 when ziplist encoded
* Optimize in-place replacement of elements in HSET, HINCRBY, LSET
* Remove redundant list to store pubsub patterns
* Add --insecure option to command line tools
Info fields and introspection changes:
* Add INFO fields to track progress of BGSAVE, AOFRW, replication
Modules:
* RM_ZsetRem: Delete key if empty, the bug could leave empty zset keys
* RM_HashSet: Add COUNT_ALL flag and set errno
Redis 6.2 RC3 Released Tue Feb 1 14:00:00 IST 2021

Upgrade urgency LOW: This is the third Release Candidate of Redis 6.2.
New commands / args:
* Add HRANDFIELD and ZRANDMEMBER commands
* Add FAILOVER command
* Add GETEX, GETDEL commands

* Exit on fsync error when the AOF fsync policy is 'always'
* Avoid assertions (on older kernels) when testing arm64 CoW bug
* CONFIG REWRITE should honor umask settings
* Fix firstkey,lastkey,step in COMMAND command for some commands
Special considerations:

Redis 6.2 RC2 Released Tue Jan 12 16:17:20 IST 2021
================================================================================
Upgrade urgency LOW: This is the second Release Candidate of Redis 6.2.
IMPORTANT: If you're running Redis on ARM64 or a big-endian system, upgrade may
have significant implications. Please be sure to read the notes below.

Redis 6.2 RC1 Released Mon Dec 14 11:50:00 IST 2020
================================================================================
Upgrade urgency LOW: This is the first Release Candidate of Redis 6.2.
Introduction to the Redis 6.2 release
=====================================
This release is the first significant Redis release managed by the core team
under the new project governance model.
Redis 6.2 includes many new commands and improvements, but no big features. It
mainly makes Redis more complete and addresses issues that have been requested
by many users frequently or for a long time.
Many of these changes were not eligible for 6.0.x for several reasons:
1. They are not backward compatible, which is always the case with new or
extended commands (that cannot be replicated to an older replica).
2. They require a longer release-candidate test cycle.
New commands / args:
* Add SMISMEMBER command that checks multiple members
* Add ZMSCORE command that returns an array of scores
* Add LMOVE and BLMOVE commands that pop and push arbitrarily
* Add RESET command that resets client connection state
* Add COPY command that copies keys
* Add ZDIFF and ZDIFFSTORE commands
* Add ZINTER and ZUNION commands
* Add GEOSEARCH/GEOSEARCHSTORE commands for bounding box spatial queries
* Add GET parameter to SET command, for more powerful GETSET
* Add exclusive range query to XPENDING
* Add exclusive range query to X[REV]RANGE
* Add GT and LT options to ZADD for conditional score updates
* Add CLIENT INFO and CLIENT LIST for specific ids
* Add IDLE argument to XPENDING command
* Add local address to CLIENT LIST, and a CLIENT KILL filter.
* Add NOMKSTREAM option to XADD command
* Add command introspection to Sentinel
* Add SENTINEL MYID subcommand
New features:
* Dump payload sanitization: prevent corrupt payload causing crashes
Has flags to enable full O(N) validation (disabled by default).
* ACL patterns for Pub/Sub channels
* Support ACL for Sentinel mode
* Support getting configuration from both stdin and file at the same time
Lets you avoid storing secrets on the disk.
New features in CLI tools:
* redis-cli RESP3 push support
* redis-cli cluster import support source and target that require auth
* redis-cli URIs able to provide user name in addition to password
* redis-cli/redis-benchmark allow specifying the prefered ciphers/ciphersuites
* redis-cli add -e option to exit with code when command execution fails
Command behavior changes:
* EXISTS should not alter LRU
In Redis 5.0 and 6.0 it would have touched the LRU/LFU of the key.
* OBJECT should not reveal logically expired keys
Will now behave the same TYPE or any other non-DEBUG command.
* Improve db id range check for SELECT and MOVE
Changes the error message text on a wrong db index.
* Modify AUTH / HELLO error message
Changes the error message text when the user isn't found or is disabled.
* BITOPS length limited to proto_max_bulk_len rather than 512MB
The limit is now configurable like in SETRANGE, and APPEND.
* GEORADIUS[BYMEMBER] can fail with -OOM if Redis is over the memory limit
Other behavior changes:
* Optionally (default) fail to start if requested bind address is not available
If you rely on Redis starting successfully even if one of the bind addresses
is not available, you'll need to tune the new config.
* Limit the main db dictionaries expansion to prevent key eviction
In the past big dictionary rehashing could result in massive data eviction.
Now this rehashing is delayed (up to a limit), which can result in performance
loss due to hash collisions.
* CONFIG REWRITE is atomic and safer, but requires write access to the config file's folder
This change was already present in 6.0.9, but was missing from the release
notes.
* A new incremental eviction mechanism that reduces latency on eviction spikes
In pathological cases this can cause memory to grow uncontrolled and may require
specific tuning.
* Not resetting "save" config when Redis is started with command line arguments.
In case you provide command line arguments without "save" and count on it
being disabled, Now the defaults "save" config will kick in.
* Update memory metrics for INFO during loading
* When "supervised" config is enabled, it takes precedence over "daemonize".
* Assertion and panic, print crash log without generating SIGSEGV
* Added crash log report on SIGABRT, instead of silently exiting
* Disable THP (Transparent Huge Pages) if enabled
If you deliberately enabled it, you'll need to config Redis to keep it.
Bug fixes:
* Handle output buffer limits for module blocked clients
Could result in a module sending reply to a blocked client to go beyond the
limit.
* Fix setproctitle related crashes.
Caused various crashes on startup, mainly on Apple M1 chips or under
instrumentation.
* A module doing RM_Call could cause replicas to get nested MULTI
* Backup/restore cluster mode keys to slots map for repl-diskless-load=swapdb
In cluster mode with repl-diskless-load, when loading failed, slot map
wouldn't have been restored.
* Fix oom-score-adj-values range, and bug when used in config file
Enabling setting this in the config file in a line after enabling it, would
have been buggy.
* Reset average ttl when empty databases
Just causing misleading metric in INFO
* Disable rehash when Redis has child process
This could have caused excessive CoW during BGSAVE, replication or AOFRW.
* Further improved ACL algorithm for picking categories
Output of ACL GETUSER is now more similar to the one provided by ACL SETUSER.
* Fix bug with module GIL being released prematurely
Could in theory (and rarely) cause multi-threaded modules to corrupt memory.
* Fix cluster redirect for module command with no firstkey.
* Reduce effect of client tracking causing feedback loop in key eviction
* Kill disk-based fork child when all replicas drop and 'save' is not enabled
* Rewritten commands (modified for propagation) are logged as their original command
* Fix cluster access to unaligned memory (SIGBUS on old ARM)
* If diskless repl child is killed, make sure to reap the child pid
* Broadcast a PONG message when slot's migration is over, may reduce MOVED responses
Other improvements:
* TLS Support in redis-benchmark
* Accelerate diskless master connections, and general re-connections
* Run active defrag while blocked / loading
* Performance and memory reporting improvement - sds take control of its internal fragmentation
* Speedup cluster failover.
Platform / toolchain support related improvements:
* Optionally (not by default) use H/W Monotonic clock for faster time sampling
* Remove the requirements for C11 and _Atomic supporting compiler
This would allow to more easily build and use Redis on older systems and
compilers again.
* Fix crash log registers output on ARM.
* Raspberry build fix.
* Setting process title support for Haiku.
* DragonFlyBSD RSS memory sampling support.
New configuration options:
* Enable configuring OpenSSL using the standard openssl.cnf
* oom-score-adj-values config can now take absolute values (besides relative ones)
* TLS: Add different client cert support.
* Note that a few other changes listed above added their config options.
Info fields and introspection changes:
* Add INFO fields to track diskless and disk-based replication progress
* Add INFO field for main thread cpu time, and scrape system time.
* Add total_forks to INFO STATS
* Add maxclients and cluster_connections to INFO CLIENTS
* Add tracking bcast flag and client redirection in client list
* Fixed INFO client_recent_max_input_buffer includes argv array
* Note that a few other changes listed above added their info fields.
Module API changes:
* Add CTX_FLAGS_DENY_BLOCKING as a unified the way to know if blocking is allowed
* Add data type callbacks for lazy free effort, and unlink
* Add data type callback for COPY command
* Add callbacks for defrag support.
* Add module event for repl-diskless-load swapdb
Module related fixes:
* Moved RMAPI_FUNC_SUPPORTED so that it's usable
* Improve timer accuracy
* Allow '\0' inside of result of RM_CreateStringPrintf

# New and Noteworthy in OGRE 1.12
This is only a high level overview. For a detailed changes, see the git changelog.
## Core changes
### Component Media files
Previously all of our bundled Media files lived in the `Samples/Media` subdirectory - including the `RTShaderLib`.
However the latter is not a sample, but required to use the RTSS component.
Therefore, we now put media files that are required by a component into `Media/*` and install them independent of the Sample Media.
This allows you to merely reference these locations instead of having to copy them into your project.
Consequently, this allowed us to move various embedded resources to the filesystem for easier editing.
**ACTION REQUIRED** you must add the `Media/ShadowVolume` resource location to use the build-in algorithms.
### NEON intrinsics on all ARM platforms
We converted our SSE based OptimisedMath using SSE2NEON. While the gains are not as substantial as on x86, you can expect an speedup of about 30% for e.g. CPU skeletal animation.
### Automatic Plugin discovery for Windows Debug builds
Ogre now automatically append the `_d` suffix to plugin library names on windows.
Consequently it does not need a `plugins_d.cfg` any more. Therefore you can now use the same config files for release and debug with the same content.
### Separate UV skyboxes removed
Ogre no longer supports `cubic_texture .. separateUV` textures. Previously it was possible to create a "fake" cubic texture unit which would actually contain 6 individual 2d textures. These could be used to render skyboxes. Only skyboxes that is.
For everything else you would need real hardware cubic textures.
Ogre will ignore the `separateUV` part now, and create a real cubic texture anyway.
The advantage is that ogre renders the skybox with only one draw call.
**ACTION REQUIRED** If you use custom shaders on such materials, you will have to update them to cope with real cubic textures.
### RenderSystem - unified API for fixed-function and shaders
The `RenderSystem` API was modernized and streamlined for programmable pipeline usage. Consequently most of the legacy fixed function API calls were removed (e.g. `_setProjectionMatrix`, `_setSurfaceParams`).
Instead these parameters are now passed through the `GpuProgramParameters` structure to the fixed function unifying the API between fixed and programmable pipeline.
RenderSystems supporting `RSC_FIXED_FUNCTION`, now export the respective parameters through `getFixedFunctionParams`.
You can query and modify those and then apply them using `applyFixedFunctionParams`.
If you bypass the SceneManager and use the RenderSystem directly, e.g. `_setProjectionMatrix` becomes
```cpp
auto params = rs->getFixedFunctionParams(TVC_NONE, FOG_NONE);
params->setConstant(8, Matrix4()); // the "magic" 8 is defined in getFixedFunctionParams
rs->applyFixedFunctionParams(params, GPV_GLOBAL);
```
### Improved Profiling
The instrumentation code inside Ogre was improved to be less costy compared to the measured code. At this we also improved the labels to be more readable (camera name vs. "_renderScene") - see [the updated Profiling tutorial](https://codedocs.xyz/OGRECave/ogre/profiler.html#profRead).
Additionally the Profiler class can now use [Remotery](https://github.com/Celtoys/Remotery) as its backend. Again see the tutorial for more details.
### Breaking non-API changes
These changes require unit testing on your side as compilation will succeed, but the rendering result may vary compared to 1.11.
* `fog_override` semantics changed: previously it would only affect fixed function fog and shader autoparams would still get the global scene fog. Now both autparams and fixed function settings are affected.
* `SubMesh::setMaterialName` now immediately queries the `MaterialManager` instead of merely storing the name. This means that if you do not load any `.material` files and do an import/ export cycle of a `.mesh`, the material names will be lost. This is a common use case for offline processing of mesh files. Register a `MeshSerializerListener` to create dummy materials in this case.
* `Ogre::any_cast` now throws a `std::bad_cast` exception instead of a `Ogre::InvalidParametersException` for compatibility with `std::any_cast`. Both derive from `std::exception`, in case you want to preserve legacy compatibility.
* The `OGRE_BUILD_*` defines moved to a separate `OgreComponents.h` header. As those were typically checked with `#ifdef`, these check will silently fail. Migrate to the `Ogre.h` header instead of including headers form OgreMain directly.
* compute shaders are no longer automatically dispatched when the according material is used during rendering. You now have to explicitly reference the respective material in a [*compute* compisitor pass](https://ogrecave.github.io/ogre/api/latest/_compositor-_scripts.html#Compositor-Passes).
## Samples
As a side-effect of the stable media files effort, the Sample media files were refactored as well.
Now all GL rendersystems share a common GLSL shader codebase - likewise the D3D rendersystems and the Cg plugin use the same Cg shaders (which is just HLSL9 really).
Additionally we took advantage of the RTSS improvements and replaced any custom depth shadow code by the unified RTSS solution.
## Bites
The `ApplicationContext` class was split into `ApplicationContextBase` and `ApplicationContextSDL`. This allows additional implementations (like Qt) and eases consumption in projects that do not use SDL.
## Real Time Shader System 3.0
The RTSS API was overhauled and is now more flexible and easy to use. You can now directly acquire shaders for an arbitrary Pass using `TargetRenderState` - without having to go through any Viewport Scheme juggling. This means that `TargetRenderState` can now replace any ad-hoc shader generator that you might have in place to leverage the Ogre maintained RTSS shader snippets.
The RTSS now defaults to Per-Pixel lighting, consequently making it the default for GL3+/ GLES2 and D3D11.
### Depth Shadowmap Support
The PSSM3 shadow stage now supports hardware PCF and automatically uses it if your shadow textures are compatible (i.e. of type `PF_DEPTH`).
Furthermore you can now use it generally for depth based textures by not calling `setSplitPoints` - it will use only the first depth shadow texture then.
### Merged Lighting calculations
The Fixed Function, Per-Pixel and Normal map sub-render states now all share the same shader code.
**ACTION REQUIRED** you must update your `RTShaderLib` for the 1.12 shaders.
## Terrain
To allow usage `PF_DEPTH` shadow textures, the "linear" depth code was dropped from the `SM2Profile`.
Where previously you were expected to write an interpolated value of `(gl_Position.z - depthRange.x) * depthRange.w` in the fragment shader, it is now enough to just write `gl_FragCoord.z`.
This enables early-z optimizations by the hardware and generally eases the workflow.
Refer to the Terrain Sample for the updated depth shadow scene setup.
Furthermore it is now possible to load legacy 1.7 style Terrains (aka "terrain.cfg") using `TerrainGroup::loadLegacyTerrain`.
**ACTION REQUIRED** you have to add the `Media/Terrain` resource location to use the SM2Profile Shader Generator.
## D3D9 RenderSystem
Direct3D9 feature level 9.1 is now required.
## GL/ GLES2/ GL3+
`#include` directives in GLSL shaders are now resolved by OGRE. The lookup is performed by filename using the Resource System. (based on the existing code of the Cg plugin)
Monolithic shaders are used instead of separable shader objects (SSO) by default again due to better performance and better driver support.
Changes: builds again;
August 22nd 2020 ivtools-2.0.3
* add Golang style "%v" format descriptor to comterp print func.
July 5th 2020 ivtools-2.0.2
* Change priority of "$$" (stream) operator to line up with other stream operators (i.e. ".." and "**").
June 30th 2020 ivtools-2.0.1
* Fix nested user defined funcs in comterp (the func() command).
* Change isalpha(), isdigit(), and isspace() funcs to return 0 or 1
(instead of the bitmask which is returned for C).
* Add comterp_run utility script for hands-free launching of comterp scripts.
Write scripts with this header:
#! /usr/bin/env comterp_run
* Add csvfilt comterp script as an example of using comterp_run.
After installing both try "csvfilt --help".
June 21st 2020 ivtools-2.0.0
Non-backward compatible changes from ivtools-1.2.11:
* Swap "$$" and "$" operators in comterp. The "$$" operator is now stream() (which matches
the other double-character stream operators - "..", "**", and ",,") and "$" is now list().
* Reverse the priority of ".." (iterate()) and "**" (repeat()), giving ".." precedence over "**".
The reason is because ".." is more complex than "**", like multiplication is more complex than
addition.
* Remove symmax() and symcnt() commands because they were redundant with symid() which accepts
:max and :cnt keywords.
Other changes;
* remove patches directory, sourceforge102203.xml, aclocal.m4, README.cygwin, README.ivmkcm, and comtop.tgz
* migrated all CHANGES-* files to a CHANGES directory
3.0.3 (2020-12-28)
------------------
* Fixed a bug in Channels 3.0 where the legacy ``channels.http.AsgiHandler``
would not correctly isolate per-request scopes.
This is a security release for CVE-2020-35681. Please see the `Version 3.0.3
release notes
<https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/releases/3.0.3.html>`_ for full
details.
3.0.2 (2020-11-9)
-----------------
* Fixes a bug in Channels 3.0 where ``StaticFilesWrapper`` was not updated to
the ASGI 3 single-callable interface.
* Users of the ``runworker`` command should ensure to update ``asgiref`` to
version 3.3.1 or later.
3.0.1 (2020-11-4)
-----------------
* Fixes a bug in Channels 3.0 where ``SessionMiddleware`` would not correctly
isolate per-instance scopes.
3.0.0 (2020-10-30)
------------------
Updated to ASGI v3, and added support for Django 3.0+.
This is a major version change requiring updates to consumers and middleware.
Please see the full `Version 3.0.0 release notes
<https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/releases/3.0.0.html>`_ for details.
3.0.1 (2020-11-12)
* Fixed a bug where ``asyncio.CancelledError`` was not correctly handled on
Python 3.8+, resulting in incorrect protocol application cleanup.
3.0.0 (2020-10-28)
* Updates internals to use ASGI v3 throughout. ``asgiref.compatibility`` is
used for older applications.
* Consequently, the `--asgi-protocol` command-line option is removed.
* HTTP request bodies are now read, and passed to the application, in chunks.
* Added support for Python 3.9.
* Dropped support for Python 3.5.
What's New in Pylint 2.7.2?
* Fix False Positive on `Enum.__members__.items()`, `Enum.__members__.values`, and `Enum.__members__.keys`
* Properly strip dangerous sys.path entries (not just the first one)
What's New in astroid 2.5.1?
* The ``context.path`` is reverted to a set because otherwise it leads to false positives
for non `numpy` functions.
* Don't transform dataclass ClassVars
* Improve typing.TypedDict inference
* Fix the `Duplicates found in MROs` false positive.
this has been broken in all platforms' bulk builds for quite some time.
there is a much newer version being worked on in wip, but for now it is
probably best to start by installing lang/rakudo.
This is an update from the 3.10 LTR to the newly-designated 3.16 LTR.
Besides hand-re-applying patches, and believing the new PLIST, the
only change is a new dependency on protobuf.
