sablevm) as noted by Gary Duzan in PR pkg/30137
Fix PLIST issues, to properly deintall
Fix AWK snippets for print-PLIST
Bump PKGREVISION for sablevm and sablevm-classpath
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
JamVM is a new Java Virtual Machine which conforms to the JVM specification
version 2 (blue book). In comparison to most other VM's (free and commercial)
it is extremely small, with a stripped executable on PowerPC of only ~135K,
and Intel 100K. However, unlike other small VMs (e.g. KVM) it is designed to
support the full specification, and includes support for object finalisation,
the Java Native Interface (JNI) and the Reflection API.

mipsel architectures of Debian is apparently implemented but it has
not yet been confirmed.
- Improved autodetection of build parameters on non-GNU/Linux systems.
This includes selection of dynamic libraries, availability of m4
preprocessor and auto-disabling "signals for exceptions" on
platforms that don't seem to support signals.
New in release 0.90 (March 6, 2006)
* Many Swing improvements
* AWT. Improved support for mixing "lightweight" and "heavyweight"
Components in Containers. Better support for dynamically updated
menus. Better 1.0 event model support for Scrollbars. Better class
documentation of gtk+ awt peers.
* GNU Crypto and Jessie have been merged into GNU Classpath; this
provides Classpath with a wide array of cryptographic algorithms
(ciphers, message digests, etc.) and implementations of SSL version
3 and TLS version 1. These roughly complement the public
`java.security.' `javax.crypto,' and `javax.net.ssl' packages, and
are service providers implementing the underlying algorithms.
* Updated HTTP and FTP URLConnection protocol handlers. HTTPS support
out of the box.
* Unicode 4.0.0 is supported. Character now includes support for using
ether a char or an int to identify code points.
* The new folder tools includes GIOP and RMI stub and tie source code
generators, IOR parser and both transient and persistent GIOP naming
services.
* XML validaton support for RELAX NG and W3C XML schema namespace
URIs. RELAX NG pluggable XML schema datatype library API and an
implementation for XML Schema Datatypes
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/).
* Updated StAX implementaton to be compatible with final JSWDP 2.0.
* gnu.regexp updated from GNU/Posix syntax to support util.regex
syntax including various Unicode blocks, categories and properties.
Runtime interface changes:
* A new class, VMMath, is now available which separates the native
mathematical functions from java.lang.Math. The previous fdlibm
implementation now forms the reference material for this class.
* Updated VMObjectInputStream class to return Thread context class
loader if no other class loader is found.
* Updated documentation on InstrumentationImpl in vmintegration guide.
And of course all the implovements from the previous releases
them between "not critical" and "less critical".
Fix CVE-2006-0996, CVE-2006-1494, CVE-2006-1608, CVE-2006-1490.
See:
http://secunia.com/advisories/19383/http://secunia.com/advisories/19599/
Patches were extracted from CVS. I had to translate the one for
CVE-2006-1608 on php4 because it has not made its way to the php4.4 branch
(I don't know why; I can confirm it fixes the issue).
While here, add PATCHDIR to the list of variables php5's Makefile.php
defines. That way, ap-php gets patched too...
MIT/GNU Scheme is an extension of standard Scheme, which is the
language defined by the document Revised^4 Report on the Algorithmic
Language Scheme, by William Clinger, Jonathan Rees, et al., or by
IEEE Std. 1178-1990, IEEE Standard for the Scheme Programming
Language.
on DragonFly. Since that version is used e.g. as part of the file name
for python eggs, it makes handling easier to match normal pkgsrc
platform policy. Bump revisions of all Python packages.
Python 2.4 is now in bugfix-only mode, no new features are being added. At
least 50 bugs have been squashed since Python 2.4.2, including a number of
bugs and potential bugs found by Coverity.
* Updates of many standard Perl modules.
* Performance enhancements for loadable modules and memory usage.
* Fixed bug when running with "-w". Previously when running with
warnings enabled globally via "-w", selective disabling of specific
warning categories would actually turn off all warnings. This
is now fixed; now "no warnings 'io';" will only turn off warnings
in the "io" class. This bug fix may cause some programs to start
correctly issuing warnings.
* Perl 5.8.4 introduced a change so that assignments of "undef" to a
scalar, or of an empty list to an array or a hash, were optimised away.
As this could cause problems when "goto" jumps were involved, this
change has been backed out.
* Using the sprintf function with some formats could lead to a
buffer overflow in some specific cases. This has been fixed,
along with several other bugs, notably in bounds checking.
* Fixed bug in pkgsrc-installed perl-5.8.7 and all subsequent
PKGREVISIONs, where perl didn't look for site modules under
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl, but only under
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0, and similarly for the vendor
modules.
* Honor PKGMANDIR when installing man pages.
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
* Centralize directory creation during do-install in INSTALLATION_DIRS.
* Don't install *.orig files.
* Fix PLIST problems if using xemacs instead of emacs.
Bump PKGREVISION to 4 for PLIST changes.
* Remove patch-ac which patched the Makefile to install the example config
file into the examples directory and replace with an appropriate
INSTALL_MAKE_FLAGS setting.
* Remove SUBST_FILES setting and replace with a patch. This will make
merges with future updates easier.
* Fix the location of the example configuration file to match where it's
actually installed. Now, the file will actually be copied over during
POST-INSTALL.
pkgsrc-installed libtool. Modify the configure script to grep the
libtool we're using for the values of various libtool-derived
variables. While here, fix the name of the variable that contains
the flags to pass linker options to the compiler.
* Drop the use of SUBST_FILES to directly substitute into cimcomp.c
and just patch the Makefile to pass the proper flags when compilng.
order. Remove "@unexec rmdir" lines made redundant by the reordering.
Also, use a more succinct way to match ${OPSYS} + ${MACHINE_ARCH} by
just checking ${MACHINE_PLATFORM}.
iconv and gdbm. We now patch Makefile.in instead of the configure
script and just pass in thr rpath flags via environment variables.
* Honor PKGINFODIR.
that "gmp" is registered as a direct dependency for any package that
includes ghc/buildlink3.mk to get ghc as a build dependency. This is
needed since software built by ghc requires routines from the "gmp"
shared library. This fixes PR pkg/33100.
Remove the workaround in devel/darcs and x11/wxhaskell.
and replace with appropriate references to PKGINFODIR instead.
* Properly account for split info files during installation.
* Move info file listings directly into the package PLISTs.
This fixes info-file-related PLIST problems.
info files for both emacs and xemacs. Install the info files correctly
by handling the case where there may be split info files. List the info
files in the PLIST. Use EMACS_MODULES where appropriate to replace the
conditional dependency on xemacs-packages. Bump the PKGREVISION.
INSTALL/DEINSTALL script creation within pkgsrc.
If an INSTALL or DEINSTALL script is found in the package directory,
it is automatically used as a template for the pkginstall-generated
scripts. If instead, they should be used simply as the full scripts,
then the package Makefile should set INSTALL_SRC or DEINSTALL_SRC
explicitly, e.g.:
INSTALL_SRC= ${PKGDIR}/INSTALL
DEINSTALL_SRC= # emtpy
As part of the restructuring of the pkginstall framework internals,
we now *always* generate temporary INSTALL or DEINSTALL scripts. By
comparing these temporary scripts with minimal INSTALL/DEINSTALL
scripts formed from only the base templates, we determine whether or
not the INSTALL/DEINSTALL scripts are actually needed by the package
(see the generate-install-scripts target in bsd.pkginstall.mk).
In addition, more variables in the framework have been made private.
The *_EXTRA_TMPL variables have been renamed to *_TEMPLATE, which are
more sensible names given the very few exported variables in this
framework. The only public variables relating to the templates are:
INSTALL_SRC INSTALL_TEMPLATE
DEINSTALL_SRC DEINSTALL_TEMPLATE
HEADER_TEMPLATE
The packages in pkgsrc have been modified to reflect the changes in
the pkginstall framework.

* SAVEINITMEM can create standalone executables.
Thanks to Frank Buß for the idea.
SAVEINITMEM also accepts :NORC argument do disable RC-file loading.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/image.html> for details.

--------------------
* Signal a continuable error when an already opened file is opened again,
unless both streams are read-only.
* SOCKET-SERVER now accepts :BACKLOG and :INTERFACE arguments.
The first (optional) argument should be the port number or NIL.
Use (SOCKET-SERVER NIL :INTERFACE SOCKET) instead of (SOCKET-SERVER SOCKET).
Thanks to Tomas Zellerin
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/socket.html#sose> for details.
* EXT:HTTP-PROXY now uses the environment variable "http_proxy", not
"HTTP_PROXY", like curl does, to avoid confusing it with CGI arguments.
* OPEN :DIRECTION :OUTPUT now creates write-only handles and treats
named pipes correctly.
* Fixed EXT:SETENV on non-POSIX systems (woe32 and BSD derivatives).
* Fixed a bug in EXT:! on 64-bit platforms.
Thanks to Dr. Werner Fink

User visible changes
--------------------
* Infrastructure:
+ Top-level configure now accepts the option --enable-maintainer-mode
that affects autoconf-related Makefile targets. The default value
is determined based on the presence of the CVS directories.
+ When libsigsegv is not found, print instructions on getting/building
libsigsegv and bail out; override with --ignore-absence-of-libsigsegv.
+ When --with-dynamic-ffi is supplied, but the FFI fails to build, abort.
+ When --with-readline is supplied, but GNU readline is not found, abort.
+ makemake no longer checks with_module_* variables.
* New function EXT:OPEN-HTTP and macro EXT:WITH-HTTP-INPUT.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/macros3.html#open-http> for details.
* New declaration EXT:NOTSPECIAL undoes the effects of DEFVAR and DEFCONSTANT.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/declarations.html#notspec-decl>
for details.
* Function EXT:CLHS is now deprecated in favor of DESCRIBE, which can now
point your web browser to the ANSI CL and CLISP-specific documentation.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/environment-dict.html#describe>
for details.
* FFI modules can now take advantage of autoconf feature detection.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/dffi.html#ffi-guard> for details.
* New FFI macro FFI:DEF-C-CONST.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/dffi.html#def-c-const> for details.
* New charset BASE64 encodes arbitrary byte sequences with strings of
printable ASCII characters (4 characters per 3 bytes).
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/encoding.html#base64> for details.
* New module readline offers some advanced readline and history features.
It is a BASE module and is available when both FFI and readline are present.
* SOCKET:SOCKET-SERVICE-PORT is now deprecated in favor of OS:SERVICE.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/syscalls.html#service> for details.

POSIX:GETEGID.
New functions POSIX:GROUP-INFO and POSIX:STRING-TIME.
Function POSIX:USER-DATA is renamed to POSIX:USER-INFO.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/syscalls.html> for details.
* New NEW-CLX demo: foch.lisp draws fractal snowflakes.
Implemented XLIB:SET-MODIFIER-MAPPING, XLIB:KEYSYM->KEYCODES,
XLIB:ACCESS-HOSTS, XLIB:ADD-ACCESS-HOST, XLIB:REMOVE-ACCESS-HOST,
XLIB:CHANGE-KEYBOARD-CONTROL, XLIB:CHANGE-KEYBOARD-MAPPING,
XLIB:KEYBOARD-MAPPING, XLIB:KEYSYM-NAME, XLIB:KEYCODE->CHARACTER,
XLIB:SHAPE-EXTENTS, XLIB:SHAPE-RECTANGLES, XLIB:DEFAULT-KEYSYM-INDEX.
Use MAP instead of ELT for sequence access in NEW-CLX.
* ANSI CL compliance issues:
+ DEFPACKAGE options :SHADOWING-IMPORT-FROM, :USE, :IMPORT-FROM
accept package designators, not just package names.
+ ENCODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME is now the perfect inverse for DECODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME.
* The command line option -v now affects *LOAD-ECHO* also.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/clisp.html#opt-v> for details.
* When a CLISP process is killed, clean-up is always executed.
* DEFCLASS now permits user-defined :ALLOCATION arguments.
* Fixed (FUNCTION-LAMBDA-EXPRESSION #'(SETF FOO)) on compiled functions.
* Fixed re-exporting symbols from POSIX to EXT.

=================
User visible changes
--------------------
* SOCKET:SOCKET-STREAM-SHUTDOWN does not call CLOSE anymore,
just shutdown(2) - as it has always been documented.
It now also works on raw sockets, thus RAWSOCK:SHUTDOWN has been removed.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#sost-shut> and
<http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#rawsock> for details.
* When the command line option -E receives an invalid encoding,
ISO-8859-1 is used instead. [It was ASCII (for *FOREIGN-ENCODING*) or
UTF-8 (for all other encodings) before.]
Rationale: this is a 1:1 that corresponds to CLISP CODE-CHAR/CHAR-CODE
and avoids spurious errors in DIRECTORY on startup.
* New function EXT:COMPILED-FILE-P - checks whether the file is a
CLISP-compiled file with a compatible bytecode format.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#compiled-file-p> for details.
* New functions EXT:CHAR-INVERTCASE, EXT:STRING-INVERTCASE and
EXT:NSTRING-INVERTCASE invert case of characters and strings.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#char-invertcase> and
<http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#string-invertcase> for details.
* New function POSIX:STREAM-OPTIONS calls fcntl(2).
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#fcntl> for details.
* Explicitly close all possible file descriptors before exec().
* Danish translations of the user interface messages have been added.
Thanks to Dennis Decker Jensen
2.34 (2005-07-20)

Important notes
---------------
* All .fas files generated by previous CLISP versions are invalid and
must be recompiled. This is caused by the addition of MOP, the DEFSETF
fixes, and the TRANSLATE-PATHNAME and MAKE-HASH-TABLE enhancements.
Set CUSTOM:*LOAD-OBSOLETE-ACTION* to :COMPILE to automate this.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#loadfile> for details.
* The name of the Run-Control file has changed from '_clisprc' to
'.clisprc' on all platforms.
If you are using woe32, please rename your Run-Control file.
* Modules i18n, regexp, and syscalls are now present even in the base
linking set. Do not pass, e.g., "--with-module=regexp" to configure.

of differences between CLISP and "The Art of the Metaobject Protocol".
*FEATURES* now contains :MOP.
* CLISP now supports programming with case sensitive symbols. This is the
default when CLISP is started with the new command line option "-modern".
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#package-case> for details.

* You can create formatting streams of class EXT:FILL-STREAM.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#fill-stream> for details.
* SUBTYPEP can determine subtype relationship and type equivalence much better
than it could before.
* When *PRINT-READABLY* is true, symbols are now printed with package marker
and vertical bars.
* ANSI CL compliance issues:
+ Issue <DECLARATION-SCOPE:NO-HOISTING> is implemented: The scope of
declarations that do not apply to bindings, such as free SPECIAL, NOTINLINE
or OPTIMIZE declarations, includes only the body forms and no longer
includes the initforms of the LAMBDA/LET/LET*/MULTIPLE-VALUE-BIND bindings.
+ Vectors of element type NIL are now strings in all aspects. But the type
BASE-STRING does _not_ include vectors of element type NIL.
+ TYPE-OF now returns STANDARD-CHAR instead of CHARACTER when possible.
+ The type COMPILED-FUNCTION no longer encompasses generic functions.
+ TYPE-OF now returns COMPILED-FUNCTION or STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION instead
of FUNCTION when possible.
+ The space character is printed as "#\ " if CUSTOM:*PRINT-SPACE-CHAR-ANSI*
is true.
+ The #<PACKAGE KEYWORD> no longer has the nickname "". The syntax :FOO for
keywords still works, but is now special cased in the reader.
+ Class redefinition with DEFCLASS no longer modifies the previous class if
it doesn't have a "proper name".
+ Class redefinition with DEFCLASS removes accessor methods that have been
installed through the previous DEFCLASS definition of the same class.
+ Generic function redefinition with DEFGENERIC removes methods that have
been installed through the previous DEFGENERIC definition of the same
function.
+ The set of qualifiers allowed for methods that are combined with a method
combination defined through the short form of DEFINE-METHOD-COMBINATION
now includes the name of the method combination instead of the operator.
+ FIND-METHOD now gives an error if the list of specializers has a wrong
length.
+ ARRAY-TOTAL-SIZE-LIMIT, ARRAY-DIMENSION-LIMIT, ARRAY-RANK-LIMIT are now
fixnums.
+ SHORT-FLOATs whose absolute value is an integer in the range between 10^5
and 10^7 are now printed with full precision.
+ Operations combining rational and floating-point numbers now return a
floating-point result if CUSTOM:*FLOATING-POINT-RATIONAL-CONTAGION-ANSI*
is true. When the mathematical result in a situation is rational, a
warning is issued if CUSTOM:*WARN-ON-FLOATING-POINT-RATIONAL-CONTAGION* is
true.
+ Class redefinition with DEFCLASS now updates existing instances as
specified.
+ An ABORT restart is now always installed.
+ UPDATE-INSTANCE-FOR-DIFFERENT-CLASS does the required argument checking.
+ Passing invalid initialization arguments to MAKE-INSTANCE and similar
now generates a PROGRAM-ERROR instead of just an ERROR.
+ Documentation strings are now attached to class objects, not just to
their name.
+ Arrays with total array size 0 are printed in a lossy way if
CUSTOM:*PRINT-EMPTY-ARRAYS-ANSI* is true and *PRINT-READABLY* is false.
+ Allow () to match NIL in destructuring lambda lists.
+ Documentation strings at a place where only declarations and forms are
allowed now give a warning, not an error.
+ LAST, BUTLAST and NBUTLAST check their list argument for circularity.
+ Different LOAD-TIME-VALUE forms that are EQUAL but not EQ are no longer
coalesced by COMPILE-FILE.
+ DEFSETF lambda-lists now support &ENVIRONMENT.
+ DEFSETF lambda-lists are no longer destructuring lambda-lists.
+ NAMESTRING no longer accepts an optional second argument.
+ SETF of VALUES now uses only the first value of each subform.
+ SPECIAL declarations of variables are now correctly respected inside
macro expanders defined through MACROLET within the declaration's scope.
+ (EXPORT NIL), (UNEXPORT NIL), (IMPORT NIL), (SHADOWING-IMPORT NIL),
(SHADOW NIL) are now nops.
+ An attempt to create a condition from an invalid condition designator now
always results in a TYPE-ERROR being signalled.
+ The reader's errors are now of type READER-ERROR when they should be.
+ READ-DELIMITED-LIST now returns NIL when *READ-SUPPRESS* is true.
+ Printing of multidimensional arrays now respects *PRINT-LEVEL*.
+ As required by 19.2.3, *DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS* is merged into
pathnames before accessing the file system.
+ LOGICAL-PATHNAME now gives an error if the argument string does not
contain a host specification.
+ The PRINT-UNREADABLE macro prints extraneous spaces if
CUSTOM:*PRINT-UNREADABLE-ANSI* is true.
+ In the #n= and #n# reader syntax, the integer n may now be larger than
7 digits.
+ IN-PACKAGE forms with constant arguments are no longer executed by the
compiler if they occur in a non-null lexical environment.
+ COMPILE-FILE now always returns the TRUENAME of its output file.
+ GET-SETF-EXPANSION now accepts NIL as the environment argument to
mean null lexical environment
Thanks to Paul F. Dietz and his ANSI compliance
suite, which helped detect some of these deficiencies.

* Global error handlers can now be installed and removed using
EXT:SET-GLOBAL-HANDLER, EXT:WITHOUT-GLOBAL-HANDLERS,
and -on-error command line option.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#global-handler> and
<http://clisp.cons.org/clisp.html#opt-on-error> for details.
* TRANSLATE-PATHNAME and TRANSLATE-LOGICAL-PATHNAME accept a new keyword
argument :ABSOLUTE which makes them convert their return values to
absolute pathnames.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#translate-pathname> and
<http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#translate-logpath> for details.
* New function EXT:ABSOLUTE-PATHNAME.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#absolute-pathname> for details.
* New function EXT:ELASTIC-NEWLINE and new FORMAT directive "~.".
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#elastic-newline>
and <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#format-dot> for details.
Through this function, CLISP no longer produces spurious blank lines when
a program uses the convention of printing a #\Newline before each line.
* TRACE has a new option :MAX-DEPTH, that is useful to avoid infinite
recursions in the tracer.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#trace> for details.
* The function LENGTH and a few other sequence functions now signal a
TYPE-ERROR when a circular list has been given as argument.
* Function UPGRADED-COMPLEX-PART-TYPE is now as precise as possible.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#ucpt> for details.
* In non-interactive batch mode, *ERROR-OUTPUT* now uses the system's
standard error stream, instead of the standard output stream.
* The macros MUFFLE-CERRORS, APPEASE-CERRORS and EXIT-ON-ERROR now treat
CONTINUE restarts which require interactive user intervention like other
restarts. Only non-interactive CONTINUE restarts are silently invoked.
* LOAD :OBSOLETE-ACTION can now also be :COMPILE to automatically
recompile the obsolete *.fas file.
LOAD can now ignore erroneous forms using SKIP and STOP restarts.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#loadfile> for details.
* References from within macros defined through MACROLET to variables or
functions defined in the lexical environment outside the MACROLET form
now signal an error. Previously, this resulted in undefined behavior.
* The FFI recognizes the c-type declaration (FFI:C-POINTER <c-type>) to
handle references without conversion to/from Lisp structures.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#c-pointer> for details.
* The FFI variable FFI:*FOREIGN-ENCODING* can now be a multibyte encoding.
The warning "*FOREIGN-ENCODING*: reset to ASCII" at startup is gone.
* New FFI constructor functions FFI:FOREIGN-VARIABLE and FFI:FOREIGN-FUNCTION,
more operators are now exported (FFI:FOREIGN-VALUE, FFI:PARSE-C-TYPE).
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#dffi-make-var>
and <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#dffi-make-func> for details.
* FFI macro FFI:C-LINES can now be used to fine-tune
initialization and finalization.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#c-lines> for details.
* New FFI function FFI:CLOSE-FOREIGN-LIBRARY can be used to unload a library.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#dffi-close-lib> for details.
* New FFI low-level accessor FFI:MEMORY-AS.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#memory-as> for details.
* Foreign functions and variables can now be documented using the
:DOCUMENTATION option to FFI:DEF-CALL-OUT and FFI:DEF-C-VAR.
* Buffered streams now are suitable for interactive streams. It is no longer
necessary to use :BUFFERED NIL to avoid blocking in various situations.
* Function EXT:READ-BYTE-SEQUENCE takes a new keyword argument :INTERACTIVE.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#rd-by-seq> for details.
* Methods on GRAY:STREAM-READ-BYTE-SEQUENCE and GRAY:STREAM-WRITE-BYTE-SEQUENCE
now need to accept a second optional argument.
* The possible values of the :WEAK argument of MAKE-HASH-TABLE are changed:
Use :KEY-AND-VALUE instead of :EITHER, :KEY-OR-VALUE instead of :BOTH now.
* The :LIBRARY option argument to EXT:DEF-CALL-OUT and EXT:DEF-C-VAR is now
evaluated (i.e., it can now be a variable) and may take a value of
:DEFAULT and :NEXT in addition to being a string as before.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#def-c-var> and
<http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#def-call-out> for details.
* New user variable CUSTOM:*PRINT-SYMBOL-PACKAGE-PREFIX-SHORTEST*
allows using the shortest package (nick)name as the symbol prefix.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#pr-sym-pack-prefix> for details.
* The user commands can now be extended using CUSTOM:*USER-COMMANDS*.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#user-commands> for details.
* Initialization and finalization of the CLISP process can now be
augmented with CUSTOM:*INIT-HOOKS* and CUSTOM:*FINI-HOOKS*.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#init-hooks> and
<http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#fini-hooks> for details.
* SET functions (like UNION et al) are now much faster on large lists.
* The second, optional argument of EXT:SPECIAL-VARIABLE-P can no longer be T;
please use (THE-ENVIRONMENT) instead.
* New function EXT:FEATUREP - the run-time version of read-time #+/#-.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#featurep> for details.
* Bug fixes:
+ The interpreter no longer executes the body of (EVAL-WHEN (COMPILE) ...)
forms.
+ Fixes to internationalized error messages.
+ When an interpreted INITIALIZE-INSTANCE method uses CALL-NEXT-METHOD with
a modified argument list, MAKE-INSTANCE could in some cases initialize
the new object three times instead of just once.
+ Fixed a compiler bug that could lead to incorrect code when a LAMBDA
with SPECIAL-declared optional variables was compiled inline and the
initforms of the optional variables depended on the values of the previous
optional variables.
+ Passing a package as second argument of RENAME-PACKAGE led to an
unjustified error.
+ Passing a displaced vector as argument to REVERSE could lead to an
unjustified error.
+ FRESH-LINE did not work in some situations.
+ Fixed ATANH on complex numbers.
+ The macros EXT:LETF and EXT:LETF* now work correctly on symbol-macros.
+ Fixed a spurious crash of MULTIPLE-VALUE-SETQ in interpreted code.
+ Fixed a crash of (COPY-READTABLE NIL some-readtable).
+ Fixed a crash when using a hash-table as hash-table key.
+ Fixed a crash triggered by the READ-BYTE function on streams with
element type ([UN]SIGNED-BYTE n), 24 < n < 32, on big-endian platforms.
+ Fixed a crash that occurred on glibc platforms when writing Unicode
characters in the range #\U000E0000..#\U000E007F on a stream with an
encoding other than UTF-8.
+ An invalid bignum could be returned by GET-INTERNAL-RUN-TIME on 64-bit
platforms.
+ Third party code walkers can now handle HANDLER-BIND et al.
* Woe32 distribution now comes with a binary driver clisp.exe.
Do not copy it anywhere - create a shortcut to it instead!
Use install.bat to automate shortcut creation.

developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
05/01/05 (version 1.3)
Additions:
A collection of libraries implementing the Concurrent ML
model for concurrent programming has been added; it is
compatible to the CML libraries in Sunterlib. See the
documentation for details.
Support for SRFIs 34-36 ("Exception handling for programs",
"Conditions", "I/O conditions") has been added. This is in
the CONDITIONS, EXCEPTIONS, and I/O-CONDITIONS structures,
for which the SRFI-34, SRFI-35, and SRFI-36 structures are
essentially aliases. A bridging infrastructure between the
old condition system and the new one translates condition
objects back and forth, hopefully transparently for the
user.
A new infrastructure for dynamically loading external
libraries from shared objects has been added; check the
manual for details. The old infrastructure is still
presented, but is unsupported on Windows and will be
removed in a future release.
The S48_GC_UNPROTECT_GLOBAL macro has been added, which
allows to remove a root added by S48_GC_PROTECT_GLOBAL.
The Scheme 48 header files should now be compileable by a
C++ compiler.
An experimental Windows port has been added.
Changes:
The HTML manual is now generated with tex2page.
A number of changes to the VM to support the (future)
native-code compiler have been made.
The PreScheme type rule for IF is now more strict, thus
disallowing code that would lead to invalid C output.
(This fixes a bug reported by Markus Ziegler.)
Bug fixes:
The TRAVERSE structure for displaying heap statistics has
been re-enabled.
A number of misues of CALL-ERROR have been corrected
(reported by Taylor Campbell).
The VALUE-PIPES package works again
(fix by Taylor Campbell).
In PreScheme it is now possible to shift integers by
non-constant shift widths.
Logical right shifts in PreScheme work now
(reported by Taylor Campbell).
A bug in TERMINATE-THREAD! was fixed
(reported by Taylor Campbell).
A bug in the implementation of ,exit-when-done was fixed.
A bug in the regexp-matching code that prevented matching
the empty string correctly was fixed.
A bug in the implementation of STRING-CONTAINS from SRFI-13
was fixed.
A bug in the implementation of :WHILE in SRFI-42 was fixed
(submitted by Sebastian Egner).
Bugs in the implementations of ANGLE and MAGNITUDE were
fixed.
An obscure bug in the implementation of APPLY (which was
triggered by certain instances of (apply apply ...) )
was fixed.
For a degenerate case of ITERATE, the code was made to
conform the documentation
(reported by Taylor Campbell).
Various miscellaneous fixes.
Patch provided by Nils O. Selasdal in PR 32941.
While here, fixed pkglint warnings.
* HTTP Response Splitting has been addressed in ext/session and in
the header() function.
* Fixed format string vulnerability in ext/mysqli.
* Fixed possible cross-site scripting problems in certain error conditions.
* Hash & XMLWriter extensions added and enabled by default.
* Upgraded OCI8 extension.
* Over 85 various bug fixes.
(I haven't heard anything from the MAINTAINER but since this works fine
on my servers and as this fixes security issues I checked in this)
"/bin/env ruby" in bang line. It was broken after switching to use subst

Changelog:
- Coq sources made compatible with ocaml 3.09.0 and lablgtk 2.6.0.
- The search depth argument of auto can be parameterised in the Ltac language
- Added entry constr_may_eval for tactic extensions (new syntax)
- A couple of lemmas of ZArith were renamed: O -> 0
- many bugfixes, for extraction, Ltac, tactics...
not part of the std. Python install to work again.
Secondly, add a patch from Christoph Ludwig (
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1324762&group_id=5470&atid=305470
)
which contains the following changes (from the SourceForge post):
1) The configure option --with-cxx is renamed
--with-cxx-main. This was done to avoid surprising the user
by the changed meaning. Furthermore, it is now possible
that CXX has a different value than provided by
--with-cxx-main, so the old name would have been
confusing.
2) The compiler used to translate python's main() function is
stored in the configure / Makefile variable MAINCC. By
default, MAINCC=$(CC). If --with-cxx-main is given (without
an appended compiler name), then MAINCC=$(CXX). If
--with-cxx-main=<compiler> is on the configure command
line, then MAINCC=<compiler>. Additionally, configure sets
CXX=<compiler> unless CXX was already set on the
configure command line.
3) The command used to link the python executable is (as
before) stored in LINKCC. By default, LINKCC='$(PURIFY)
$(MAINCC)', i.e. the linker front-end is the compiler used to
translate main(). If necessary, LINKCC can be set on the
configure command line in which case it won't be altered.
4) If CXX is not set by the user (on the command line or via
--with-cxx-main), then configure tries several likely C++
compiler names. CXX is assigned the first name that refers
to a callable program in the system. (CXX is set even if
python is built with a C compiler only, so distutils can build
C++ extensions.)
5) Modules/ccpython.cc is no longer used and can be
removed.
"extract" script for extraction. Many cases where a custom EXTRACT_CMD
simply copied the distfile into the work directory are no longer
needed. The extract script also hides differences between pax and
tar behind a common command-line interface, so we no longer need code
that's conditional on whether EXTRACT_USING is tar or pax.
* Repeated [namespace import] of same command now permitted.
* ${prefix}/share added to ::tcl_pkgPath on some systems.
* [exec]'s >> redirection has improved append behavior.

* Stopped crash after use of Tcl_TraceCommand().
* Win NT/XP: support unicode console.
* Improved support for Tclkit to set [encoding system].
* Added Korean timezone abbreviations.
* Windows: exit codes can now exceed -128..127 range.
* [load] support on LynxOS.
* Packages with incorrect index scripts now cause a warning to be logged.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
* [lsearch -regexp] now accepts backrefs in the RE.
* [selection get] made compatible with OpenOffice.org.
* Dialog support for widget names containing spaces.
* Improved Tk window manager event interaction on OS X Aqua.
* Bug fixes
* New features:
- otherlibs/labltk: browser uses menu bars instead of menu buttons
Changes 3.09.0:
Language features:
- Introduction of private row types, for abstracting the row in object
and variant types.
Type checking:
- Polymorphic variants with at most one constructor [< `A of t] are no
longer systematically promoted to the exact type [`A of t]. This was
more confusing than useful, and created problems with private row
types.
Native-code compiler (ocamlopt):
* Revised implementation of the -pack option (packing of several compilation
units into one). The .cmx files that are to be packed with
"ocamlopt -pack -o P.cmx" must be compiled with "ocamlopt -for-pack P".
In exchange for this additional constraint, ocamlopt -pack is now
available on all platforms (no need for binutils).
* Fixed wrong evaluation order for arguments to certain inlined functions.
* Other (see 'Changes')
were lost in PKGREVISION nb7. We do this by avoiding inspecting the
value of ${WRKSRC} within the package Makefile and instead deferring
using ${WRKSRC} until we actually need the value (after extraction).
This is necessary because WRKSRC is defined in bsd.pkg.mk, which is
too late.

What is new in Mono 1.1.12
Ports
Neale updated the S390 JIT compiler to match the new cross platform register
allocator.
Paolo fixed a number PowerPC bugs that were exposed by new tests. He also
fixed floating point code generation on ARM.
IronPython
This version of Mono can run IronPython 0.9.6.
JIT Optimizations
An SSA-less Dead Code Elimination (fastdce) optimization was checked in by
Massi. This optimization will be more useful on the next release as we tune
some of the optimizations that produce dead code.
Registry
An implementation of the registry is now available on Unix.
2.0 profile updates.
TryParse methods are no longer wrappers for Parse, Parse is now implemented in
terms of Parse which will give us the performance associated with TryParse
(Carlos).
Implement the string compares from 2.0 (Atsushi).
Implemented System.Globalization and System.Text from 2.0 as well as updating
many of the CJK codecs (Atsushi).
Reflection updates from Zoltan.
Uri parsers from Sebastien.
System.XML 2.0: Most of 2.0 API has been fixed up except for Xml.Serialization
have been done. Atsushi continues to work on stabilizing the 2.0 API.
Ben added the initial support for the Nullable<T> boxing conventions. These
implement the last-minute changes that went into the Nullable<T> in .NET. It
is known to have some bugs, as well as incomplete support in parts of the
runtime.
Chris Toshok continues to work on the 2.0 System.Configuration assembly which
is a key component of many of the new ASP.NET classes.
Dick implemented the 2.0 Semaphore classes (named and unnamed).
Debugger
The Debugger works for the first time. It might still be a bit flaky, but I
have been using it.
Get it from: here.
The X-Develop 1.2 beta has GUI support for it as well.
Text Encoding
Atsushi implemented the 2.x support for text encodings: the new unmanaged APIs
and the fallback code.
SharpZipLib upgraded
We have upgraded SharpZipLib to the latest version, required to run the new
IKVM.
Monodoc
Improved the Web UI, based on code from Eric Butler.
Windows.Forms
Windows.Forms is moving into bug fixing mode. We need as many people as
possible testing their Windows.Forms applications and submit bug reports for
any issues found with it.
These are some of the highlights, as Windows.Forms is the piece that changed
the most in this release:
Alexander updates his "Nice" theme. He also checked in a new theme
"ClearLooks". Set the variable MONO_THEME to "nice" or "clearlooks" to select
these themes.
Jackson added MDI and toolwindow support, improved the TreeView and ListView
widgets.
Mike improved the Menu infrastructure and introduced shortcut and key
navigation support into Windows.Forms
Pedro contributed some updates to his summer of code DataGridView widget.
Peter added cut and paste support to the Textbox and RichTextBox widgets,
keybindings for it, drag and drop and undo support.
HttpListener
Gonzalo implemented the embeddable HttpListener web server. Very cute.
System.Drawing
Jordi has upgraded our System.Drawing stack to implement the 2.0 API.
Jonathan Gilbert fixed an important bug in GDI+ that prevented some
applications from running correctly (UnlockBitmap was busted).
Compilers
Ankit continues to improve the assembler and disassembler to support generics
and has updated the PEAPI accordingly.
Harinath Raja, Marek Safar and Martin Baulig and continued to fix bugs in the
C# compiler and improve the error and warning reporting of the compiler.
Basic compiler: Many bug fixes and improvements from Alexandre Rocha, Jelmer
Vernooij and Maverson Eduardo.
Atsushi fixed many bugs in the -doc: command line handling in the C# compiler.
Cesar continued to improve the JScript compiler, the Mozilla test suite now at
8577 successful tests out of 8866 (96.74%).
IO Layer
Dick did various improvements to the IO-layer: threads were moved back into
the shared handle space now that the leak bug is gone.
The main thread will now dispose all of its resources upon termination.
ShellExecute will now work properly on Windows.
Npgsql
Francisco upgraded Npgsql database driver to 1.0beta1.
Bug Fixes
Many bug fixes and tests everywhere. In particular CodeDOM got a large test
harness by Gert, many bug fixes by Gonzalo to System.Web. Gamin is now
correctly autodetected for the FileSystemWatcher.
Special thanks go to Robert Jordan which provided plenty of bug fixes and bug
reports for this release of Mono. We also want to thank Zoltan which continues
to fix bugs everywhere in the runtime.
John Luke updated and fixed various Mono.Cairo binding issues.
Jonathan Pryor updated the Mono.Unix namespace extensively.
Senganal is the new maintainer of System.Data and has been fixing many of the
System.Data bugs.
What is new in Mono 1.1.10
mod_mono Auto-Configuration
Mod_mono, the apache module for providing ASP.NET support has historically
been difficult to configure and it required system administrators to manually
register all the directories that contained an ASP.NET application. This was
troublesome for many and also stopped mod_mono from being adopted for
multi-user systems.
mod_mono 1.1.10 features a new auto-configuration system which allows ASP.NET
applications to work without having to make any configuration changes to
Apache.
The experience of the new auto-configuration system is similar to PHP: any
file that has one of the ASP.NET extensions will automatically be handled by
Mono.
The feature can be turned off if desired, see our documentation page for more
details.
mod_mono and virtual hosts
Mod_mono now works correctly with virtual hosts, and it is possible to use the
mod_mono control panel to restart individual servers.
Windows.Forms
Control drawing performance improved (background drawing handling).
libgdiplus now support turning off anti-aliasing.
Drag and Drop for X11 has been implemented.
Support for auto-sizing is implemented.
Menu improvements on X11.
Extensive bug fixes.
Kornél reimplemented the ImageList control.
DataGridView widget for 2.x: by Pedro Martínez Julia, made possible by the
Google Summer of Code and Jordi which acted as the mentor.
Code Access Security
System.Drawing doesn't require permissions to call unmanaged code to work (big
speedup when running with the security manager active).
Many CAS permissions (and tests) were added for System.dll and System.Webdll
(work in progress);
Class library / Security
ProtectedData is now working under Mono. It use a managed implementation on
Linux/POSIX and native DAPI (p/invoke) on Windows (requires Windows 2000);
ProtectedMemory is working on Windows (requires Windows 2000 SP3 or later);
MozRoots
MozRoots is a new command-line tool to download and import the list of
Mozilla's trusted root certificates into Mono's trust store.
Mono by default does not have any root certificates on its certificate store
and it is up to each deployment to add the certificates that they trust to the
store. This has caused some confussion with people using TLS and SSL with
Mono. The MozRoots tool makes it simple to import a set of root certificates
from Mozilla into the Mono store.
Security Tools
sn: assemblies can now be signed with RSA key pairs ranging from 384 to 16384
bits;
XSP
Sebastien added support to XSP for PKCS#12 private key/certificates;
JavaScript compiler
From Cesar and Florian:
Compiler: added support for: multiple file compilation and import statement.
Run-time: Florian Gross added support for performing late binding operations
in System.Object derived objects.
Status 6981 successful tests out of 7229 from Mozilla's test suite.
ASP.NET
Completed ViewState MAC, a cryptographic checksum to prevent tampering with
the view state.
Input/output filtering works again.
Many bug fixes and performance improvements are available in this version
thanks to Gonzalo.
LDAP
• Changes in Connection.cs regarding appropriate handling in method
ServerCertificateValidation.
• Added support for error code 113 SSL_HANDSHAKE_FAILED.
• Added two files ResultCodeMessages.txt and ExceptionMessages.txt in
Novell.Directory.Ldap.Utilclass
• Added support for subordinate subtree scope.
• Removed hard coded dependency on Mono Security
• Fix for a race condition in Connection.cs
• Updated with support for Interactiveness of SSL Handshake, Ldap
Events, Edir Events, Intermediate Response
• Connection.cs class is modified by synchronizing the stream threads
so as to avoid the memory consumption and handle consumption.
• Changed version from 2.1.1 to 2.1.4 in Connection.cs.
• Updated ChangeLog so that latest changes are on the top.
Mono.Posix assembly
Filenames exported from Mono.Unix and Mono.Unix.Native may be in a special
UnixEncoding format so that arbitrary filenames may be accessed (i.e.
filenames outside of UTF-8 or the MONO_EXTERNAL_ENCODINGS value). See the post
"Mono.Unix Filename Marshalling"
The Mono.Unix namespace is being reorganized for easier maintenance, easier
documentation, and CLS compliance. The low-level Syscall and Stdlib and
related types will move into the Mono.Unix.Native namespace. The UnixConvert,
UnixDirectory, UnixFile, UnixGroup, and UnixUser classes are obsolete and will
be removed in a future release. The types of existing members will change in
the next release.
This release is still 100% compatible with previous releases. Impacted members
have been marked [Obsolete] with messages to indicate the replacement method.
The next release will be an API break (changing the return type of effected
properties & methods), and obsolete types will be removed in the following
release.
Mono.Unix is targeting API stability for 1.2. If you have any suggestions for
improvement, I would love to hear them.
See also: "Mono.Unix Reorganization" and "Mono.Unix Future Directions,
Questions"
MonoDoc
Rafael contributed a hierarchical storage for bookmarks to the Monodoc GUI
browser.
GtkHTML# is now an optional dependency as well as GeckoSharp.
Relocatable
Mono is now relocatable. This means that a Mono package or RPM can be
relocated to any directory and will continue to work. This works on Linux
systems and Solaris 10.
Important: If you embed Mono, you must now call the can call instead
mono_assembly_setrootdir($libdir) and mono_set_config_dir ($sysconfdir) to set
the library directory and the system configuration directories.
Cairo bindings
Idan contributed some large changes to Mono.Cairo to polish the API:
Matrix:
• Removed Matrix_T struct and associated properties,
• Added ==, != operators
• Implemented ICloneable
• Overrode Equals, GetHashcode, ToString
• Made constructors a little simpler, New matrices are constructed as
the identity matrix.
• Added IsIdentity
• Fiddled a bit with Multiply, now there is void Multiply (Matrix b) --
multiplies this matrix by b static Matrix Multiply (Matrix a, Matrix b) --
multiplies a by b and returns the result.
• Threw out all references to "Identify", it's the "Identity".
CairoAPI: fix out/ref issues (it was previously segfaulting).
Graphics:
• convert [Inverse]Transform(Point/Distance) properties to methods so
you can transform arbitrary points/distances.
• Added Transform (Matrix m)
• Fixed Matrix {get; set;} to use updated CairoAPI.
• Fixed FontSetMatrix (this should be made into a property for
consistency)
C# compiler
The default encoding for the compiler has changed from the hardcoded ISO-28591
to be the default encoding used in your system. This will help developers
compile code that was written in the editor they are using.
The last two features of C# 2.0 have been completed by Carlos Alberto: Friend
Assemblies and External Alias qualifiers.
We are only missing the late semantics changes that were introduced for
nullable types and boxing in C# for a fully compatible implementation.
.NET 2.x updates
Chris Toshok continues to work on the System.Configuration framework for
ASP.NET 2.x on which many of the new features are built.
Roozbeh Pournader contributed a PersianCalendar implementation. Roozbeh
described the Persian calendar to Microsoft originally so we have a very good
implementation.
Our Calendars now support half of the new 2.x features.
Atsushi updated parts of System.XML method signatures to match RTM.
Various Changes
Support for contravariant and covariant delegates in the System.Delegate class
for 2.x operations.
Updated ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib to the latest version.
Runtime will no longer turn segfaults in unmanaged code into a
NullReferenceException. Now faults in unmanaged code will abort the program
execution and display the stack trace (managed/unmanaged). This was useful to
uncover a number of real bugs in a few applications and some of our own
libraries.
Performance, Memory Usage
Our quest to reduce memory consumption continues. Thanks to Jon Trowbridge for
implementing a new heap profiler (the heap-buddy module on SVN) which has
helped tremendously in identifying the fat in the class libraries and spots
for easy optimization.
Some areas that received attention: StreamReader.ReadLine is much more
efficient memory-wise.
Zoltan implemented a feature to track the page access to the executable
images. Which was used by Zoltan and Ben to reduce the number of page faults
required to run an application (AOT and regular uses). Paolo reduced the
amount of memory used by our internal data structures.
In this release region-locking of files has been turned off by default which
will improve IO for some applications, it can be turned on by setting the
MONO_STRICT_IO_EMULATION variable.
A new profiler: `mono-profiler-aot' has been created that tracks the usage
patterns for executables. The output of this profile can be fed back into
Mono's AOT compiler to order the functions on the disk to produce precompiled
images that have methods in sequential pages.
Zoltan implemented frame pointer elimination on x86-64 platforms.
Patrik Torstensson and Zoltan improved the performance of methods with
exception clauses when the exception object is not used (Bug #62150).
Patrik ported the mul_imm optimizations from the old JIT engine to mini.
Ben optimized DateTime parsing.
What is new in Mono 1.1.9
New Ports
Zoltan completed the IA64 (Itanium) port of Mono. The Itanium port is a full
64 bit port of the Mono JIT compiler.
Paolo completed the ARM port of Mono, it works on little endian and big endian
ARM systems.
Dick added support for 64 bit thread ids to the io-layer.
Mono can run the IronPython test suite
Runtime
Carlos implemented publisher policies
The generics code performance was largely improved by Michal Moskal and
various bugs in the implementation have been fixed thanks to the Nemerle
Programming Language team that is making extensive use of it.
Iron Python 0.9 works as well as all of its regression tests (Zoltan and
Martin). Notice that the IronPython regression tests need various Makefile
fixes and some symlinks to cope with filename casing to work.
David Waite contributed LinkedList<T> implementation.
GDI+
Hisham, Jordi and Peter have adapted GDI+ to use Cairo 1.0 instead of Cairo
0.3 which we were previously using. This upgraded version of GDI+ is much
faster and Windows.Forms application feel faster and smoother on Linux as a
result.
As part of this upgrade numerous bugs were fixed and memory management was
audited by Jordi and Peter to eliminate memory leaks.
Rectangle drawing operations are faster by 30% now, blitting large images is
50% faster.
There are now 500 nunit tests for the library and many new contributions from
Mainsoft.
Winforms progress
Alexander Olk contributed a new theme, the "nice" theme, a screenshot can be
seen here.
The first version of RichTextBox from Peter debuts in this release and
includes an RTF parser.
More news on Winforms development are here.
Globalization/Internationalization: String Collation.
We have a completely new reimplementation of the CompareInfo infrastructure in
this release of Mono, a managed implementation of string collation that is
compatible with Windows collation.
Atsushi Enomoto worked on this project for the past four months before we
merged it on this release. Currently the code has to be turned on by setting
the MONO_USE_MANAGED_COLLATION environment variable to "yes"
In the past we had used ICU but this approach had two problems: the code lived
in the C world and the cost of transitioning from managed to unmanaged code
for string collation was fairly high.
ICU also implemented different semantics than those exposed by .NET and a
mapping of one system into the other was not really possible.
Globalization/Internationalization: Region information.
Atsushi has also contributed a new framework and updated the RegionInfo
information.
Encodings: Two new encodings are implemented: GB18030 and iso-2022-jp.
ADO.NET
Suresh deployed a new NUnit and Mono.Data-based testing framework for the
System.Data namespace.
Suresh implemented OdbcCommandBuilder and fixed various bugs in
System.Data.Odbc and SqlClient Providers.
Dan implemented OracleCommandBulder based on SqlCommandBulder so you can do
inserts, updates, deletes in a DataTable without having to create the SQL to
do the inserts, updates, and deletes as well as adding support for OUTPUT
parameters and the TIMESTAMP Oracle 9i data type.
implemented a quick-and-dirty way to get primary key info and table info
(Schema Info support in OracleDataReader) neccessary to support
OracleCommandBulder
Dan implemented SybaseCommandBuilder; however, it does not work since the
SybaseDataReader needs to have SchemaInfo command behavior implemented
Fixes to SqlCommandBuilder to get updates to work based on what Suresh did
Mono.Data.Sqlite
Thomas Zoechling, Jeroen Zwartepoorte and Dan Morgan created various bugfixes
and a patch to add named parameters.
Joshua made it so several commands can be executed in a single invocation,
instead of just the first one (semicolon delimited commands).
Assembly Version Numbers
Mono assemblies version now default to the beta version numbers (2.0.0.0 and
8.0.0.0 series, by Kornel Pal).
ASP.NET
A major rewrite to ASP.NET is now available as part of this release, the
highlights of the new code include:
• Tests: 67,700 lines of new tests:
• NUnit test suite for about 50% of the controls.
• Extensive standalone tests.
• JSUnit (see section later).
• Unmanaged I/O: the new implementation uses unmanaged buffers for
uploads (HTTP POST for example) and content generation as opposed to the
managed buffers that we have today, which greatly reduces the pressure on
Mono's GC and also avoids redundant copies of data by sharing buffers as much
as possible improving performance.
• Use of TCP Cork on Linux to avoid TCP glitches and delays, this
reduces the latency to get a full page.
• Support for Linux sendfile to transfer static pages (support for more
platforms will come later).
• XSP now transfers Socket ownership to the AppDomain to avoid round
trips and expensive AppDomain boundary crossing increasing performance.
• New controls: about 40% of the existing controls were rewritten from
scratch with test suites to validate their output.
• New application pipeline: a new iterators-based design reduces the
complexity and increases the maintainability of the old version.
• Support for HttpClientCertificate on XSP, soon to come to Apache.
• Improved tracing support.
• Latency has been reduced in various key places and the new unmanaged
buffers accelerate the processing of medium and large sized pages (small pages
remain about the same speed) and large uploads wont disrupt your Mono process.
The new ASP.NET stack is brought to you by Eyal Alaluf, Peter Bartok, Jackson
Harper, Miguel de Icaza, Ben Maurer, Jordi Mas, Gonzalo Paniagua, Dick Porter,
Sebastien Pouliot and Chris Toshok.
ASP.NET Configuration
The System.Configuration assembly has been mostly implemented and integrated
into ASP.NET. Now it is possible to read web configuration files using the new
configuration object model (Lluis).
XSP Web Server
XSP has been split up in two: Mono.WebServer.dll and xsp.exe. XSP only handles
command line parsing and Mono.WebServer.dll is the assembly that implements
the functionality.
Mono.WebServer.dll is an embeddable library that can be used to host ASP.NET
in your own applications. In the past people resorted to making a replica of
XSP in their applications if they wanted to host ASP.NET. This was contributed
by Brian Ritchie a few months back, and its finally on the main trunk.
The Mono.WebServer.dll deployment model follows the new Guidelines for Library
Deployment and there are versions available for running on the 1.x and 2.x
profiles.
XSP now also takes advantage of certain Linux features like sendfile and TCP
Cork to improve performance.
XSP also contains support for HTTPS connections using the --https flag by
Brian Ritchie.
JScript.NET Compiler
Progress: JScript now passes 4586 tests of the Mozilla ECMAScript test suite
out of 5994 (76.51%)
Cesar added various new features to the compiler:
• Support for value types and reference types.
• Support for conversions and boxing.
• Exact support for numeric values.
• Optimization when accessing literal's methods that belong its
prototype.
• Port Mozilla's decompiler for infrastructure that's used in closure's
construction.
• Report filename and line number on errors.
Marek implemented JScriptCodeProvider and stubbed JScriptCodeGenerator.
Florian contributed many updates to the JScript runtime as part of his
collaboration in Google's Summer of Code project:
• Library functions: Array.prototype, Number.prototype,
String.prototype and many more.
• Integrated the Mozilla test suite into Mono.
• LateBinding logic including prototype chain look up.
• Anonymous functions.
• Decompilation of functions to their source code.
• delete and other operators.
New: JSUnit
As part of the new ASP.NET testing framework Chris Toshok developed JSUnit: a
new JavaScript unit test framework to automate running the tests for various
web controls and validate that they do the right thing.
Monodoc
Monodoc now defaults to use the Mozilla rendering engine to display its
values, thanks to Mario Sopena and the Google Summer of Code effort and it
also uses CSS to render its pages.
Monodoc will now also show pending contributions that you might have in your
file system as well as including search support.
Tools
AL (assembly linker) can now sign, and delay-sign, assemblies and makecert can
now generate PKCS#12 files (Sebastien);
Code Access Security
Sebastien continued his work on CAS:
• Support for FullTrustAssemblies in policy resolution;
• IsolatedStorage now supports user quotas (when the security manager
is enabled);
• PermissionRequestEvidence is now part of the evidences during policy
resolution;
• Many bugs and corner cases were fixed.
Mono's SSL Stack
Improvements to the asynchronous methods in SslClientStream and
SslServerStream were contributed by JD Conley: they are now thread safe,
support asynchronous handshaking plus various important fixes.
Support for _optional_ client-side mutual authentication (Sebastien).
Support for server-side mutual authentication (Sebastien)
Rewritten async support for Ssl[Client|Server]Stream (JD Conley);
Mono.Cairo
Hisham and John Luke have upgraded the Mono.Cairo API to match the recently
released Cairo 1.0 as well as providing documentation for the new API in
Monodoc.
There are new Gtk and X11 samples included in the distribution.
Mono.Posix
Mono.Posix: This assembly now provides a remoting channel based on Unix
sockets. It is a standalone channel and does not require the
System.Runtime.Remoting assembly to work (Lluis).
C#
Due to popular request, the C# compiler now reports precise error/warning
location with both line and column numbers (Atsushi).
Support for the Namespace Alias Qualifier to the C# compiler was added by
Hari.
The compiler went through many bug fixes and a few internal structural changes
as anonymous methods, iterators and partial classes start to get used by
developers. Contributors include Martin, Harinath, Marek, Miguel and Atsushi
which has been on a bug fixing quest on this release.
Still missing for full 2.x support: external assembly alias and friend
assemblies.
ilasm/monodis
Our IL assembler and disassembler for the first time are able to round trip
all the Mono assemblies and we consider them finally complete for real use.
Thanks to Ankit for fixing all the remaining issues.
VB.NET
Manjula and Sudha upgraded various pieces of the Basic compiler and its
runtime.
Npgsql: Postgress provider.
Updates from Francisco Figueiredo:
Better metadata support. Thanks Josh Cooley (jbnpgsql at tuxinthebox dot net).
Added refcursor parameter support. Now, refcursors can be passed as arguments
for functions.
Npgsql now can handle functions which return refcursor and setof refcursor.
Now, results are returned as NpgsqlDataReader resultsets. There is no need to
explicitly call "fetch all ..."
Critical bug fixed with ConnectorPool when creating MinPoolSize connections.
Connections weren't properly handled. Thanks Josh Cooley (jbnpgsql at
tuxinthebox dot net)
Firebird provider
From Carlos: Support for the new INSERT ... RETURNING statement of Firebird
v2.0
Added support to the new CREATE SEQUENCE and SET GENERATOR statements to the
FbBatchExecution class.
Add parameter information for DML statements and allow the configuration of
quoted identifiers usage to the DataAdapter Configuration Wizard.
This new release includes an updated code generator (based on gcc 3.2.3)
which is a big step toward supporting amd64 platforms. (Sorry, they're not
supported quite yet in this release.)
A few bugs have been fixed, of course. It should be easier now to build
Ezm3 on the newer Linux distributions.
You must use CVSup 16.1h or later with this version of Ezm3. Earlier
versions of CVSup will not build properly with Ezm3 1.2.
pkgsrc changes:
- Add untested OpenBSD support
- Make the PLIST files more uniform, so it would be easier to merge a few
of the PLIST.OPSYS entries into PLIST.common
- buildlink3.mk was not changed, because we use CVSup 16.1h since two years
No answer from the 'maintainer' when i send him the patch two weeks ago
and this release is now over 18 month old.
and then adds it to LDFLAGS. Later, the configure script tests for the
presence of certain functions in libc, and expects to get an error at
link time if the functions are missing. On Interix with -export-dynamic,
the link succeeds even if there are missing functions. This causes
configure to detect all tested functions as present, and produce
binaries that fail at run time.
To work around this issue, postpone adding -export-dynamic to LDFLAGS
until the end of the configure script.
systems, but the code that take care of them is inly implemented
on Linux. This made the build go into an infinite loop on NetBSD.
Disable floating point exceptions on NetBSD/amd64 for now, until
I get around implementing and testing the necessary sigaction glue.
Gwydion Dylan 2.4.0 (2004-10-23)
Because the bulk of our recent development effort has been put into
the 2.5 development branch, work on this branch has focused on
stabilization in the form of bug and compatibility fixes. Changes
include improvements in the robustness of the melange tool, and an
update of the Macintosh CodeWarrior plugin.
been updated in more than two years.)
- Add a buildlink3.mk file.
- Make the Java dependency optional, and disable this option by default (this
will make erlang build in more bulk builds).
Ok by wiz.
library searches to start in the system directories instead of in the
pkgsrc-controlled directories. This change is in the same spirit as
the one that caused the PKGREVISION bump to 6, but is more likely to
work on IRIX where plibpth needs to be set from the Configure script.
This time, we patch the Configure script instead of setting libpth in
the hints file because we depend on the values of variables which are
defined after the hints file is sourced by the Configure script.

applications much sooner. We do this by making every hints file create
a usethreads.cbu script that prepends the correct LDFLAGS to the
ldflags and lddlflags Perl variables. This should fix PR pkg/31091,
which detailed a problem with building threaded perl on a platform
withat native pthreads that used GNU Pth as its pthread library.
While we're here, also fix some minor variable quoting issues.
Bump the PKGREVISION to 6.
perl suffers from an integer wrap overflow inside the explicit
parameter format string functionality. This has been confirmed to
be a vector for remote code execution.
Bump PKGREVISION to 5.
Change most pkgs to depend on either
emulators/suse_linux/Makefile.application (normal pkgs) or
Makefile.common (suse91 and suse themselves) to filter out Operating
Systems without Linux ABI support. Use CPU masks to limit the pkg to
supported platforms.
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.
