Qt3 and Qt4 QImage class. Adding the generated plugin in the Qt's
tree enable any Qt application to manipulate TIFF images. TiffIO come
with a self-test suite, and have been compiled and used successfully
on a variety of windows and unixes 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.

This update fixes the security vulnerabilities reported in PMASA-2005-8
and PMASA-2005-9.
Changes:
- Updated NmapFE to build with GTK2 rather than obsolete GTK1. Thanks
to Mike Basinger (dbasinge(a)speakeasy.net) and Meethune Bhowmick
(meethune(a)oss-institute.org) for developing the
patch. I made some changes as well to prevent compilation warnings.
The new NmapFE now seems to work, though I do get "Gtk-CRITICAL"
assertion error messages. If someone has time to look into this, that
would be appreciated.
Changes:
- Put Nmap on a diet, with changes to the core port scanning routine
(ultra_scan) to substantially reduce memory consumption, particularly
when tens of thousands of ports are scanned.
- Wrote a new man page from scratch. It is much more comprehensive
(more than twice as long) and (IMHO) better organized than the
previous one. Read it online at http://www.insecure.org/nmap/man/
or docs/nmap.1 from the Nmap distribution. Let me know if you have
any ideas for improving it.
- Wrote a new "help screen", which you get when running Nmap without
arguments. It is also reproduced in the man page and at
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/data/nmap.usage.txt . I gave up trying
to fit it within a 25-line, 80-column terminal window. It is now 78
lines and summarizes all but the most obscure Nmap options.
- Removed foreign translations of the old man page from the
distribution. Included the following contributed translations
(nroff format) of the new man page:
Brazilian Portuguese by Lucien Raven (lucienraven(a)yahoo.com.br)
Portuguese (Portugal) by José Domingos (jd_pt(a)yahoo.com) and
Andreia Gaita (shana.ufie(a)gmail.com).
- Fixed a crash in IPID Idle scan. Thanks to Ron
(iago(a)valhallalegends.com>, Bakeman (bakeman(a)physics.unr.edu),
and others for reporting the problem.
- Applied some small fixes so that Nmap compiles with Visual C++
2005 Express, which is free from Microsoft at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/ . Thanks to KX
(kxmail(a)gmail.com) and Sina Bahram (sbahram(a)nc.rr.com)
- Version detection softmatches (when Nmap determines the service
protocol such as smtp but isn't able to determine the app name such as
Postfix) can now parse out the normal match line fields such as
hostname, device type, and extra info. For example, we may not know
what vendor created an sshd, but we can still parse out the protocol
number. This was a patch from Doug Hoyte (doug(a)hcsw.org).
- Fixed a problem which caused UDP version scanning to fail to print
the matched service. Thanks to Martin Macok
(martin.macok(a)underground.cz) for reporting the problem and Doug
Hoyte (doug(a)hcsw.org) for fixing it.
- Made the version detection "ports" directive (in
nmap-service-probes) more comprehensive. This should speed up scans a
bit. The patch was done by Doug Hoyte (doug(a)hcsw.org).
- Integrated all of the September version detection fingerprint
submissions. This was done by Version Detection Czar Doug Hoyte
(doug(a)hcsw.org) and resulted in 86 new match lines. Please keep
those submissions coming!
- Fixed a bunch of typos and misspellings throughout the Nmap source
code (mostly in comments). This was a 625-line patch by Saint Xavier
(skyxav(a)skynet.be).
- Added the --webxml option, which does the same thing as
--stylesheet http://www.insecure.org/nmap/data/nmap.xsl , without
requiring you to remember the exact URL or type that whole thing.
- Fixed a possible aliasing problem in tcpip.cc by applying a patch sent in by
Gwenole Beauchesne (gbeauchesne(a)mandriva.com). This problem
shouldn't have had any effect on users since we already include the
-fno-strict-aliasing option whenever gcc 4 is detected, but it
brings us closer to being able to remove that option.
- Fixed a problem with the -S and -e options (spoof/set
source address, and set interface by name, respectively). The problem
report and a partial patch were sent by Richard Birkett
(richard(a)musicbox.net).
- Fixed a problem with the -S and option on Windows reporting "Failed
to resolve/decode supposed IPv4 source address". The -D (decoy)
option was probably broken on that platform too. Thanks to KX
(kxmail(a)gmail.com) for reporting the problem and tracking down a
potential solution.
- Added --thc option (undocumented)
- Modified libdnet-stripped/src/eth-bsd.c to allow for up to 128 bpf
devices rather than 32. This prevents errors like "Failed to open
ethernet interface (fxp0)" when there are more than 32 interface
aliases. Thanks to Krok (krok(a)void.ru) for reporting the problem
and even sending a patch.
- Fixed a minor syntax error in tcpip.h that was causing problems with
GCC 4.1. Thanks to Dirk Mueller (dmuell(a)gmx.net) for reporting
the problem and sending a fix.
- Define INET_ADDRSTRLEN in tcpip.h if the system doesn't define it
for us. This apparently aids compilation on Solaris 2.6 and 7.
Thanks to Albert Chin (nmap-hackers(a)mlists.thewrittenword.com) for
sending the patch..
- Fixed an inefficiency in RPC scan that could slow things down and
also sometimes resulted in the spurious warning message: Ünable to
find listening socket in get_rpc_results"
- Fixed a compilation problem on Mac OS X and perhaps other platforms
with a one-line fix to scan_engine.cc. Thanks to Felix Gröbert
(felix(a)groebert.org) for notifying me of the problem.
- Nmap now accepts target list files in Windows end-of-line format (\r\n)
as well as standard UNIX format (\n) on all platforms. Passing a
Windows style file to Nmap on UNIX didn't work before unless you ran
dos2unix first.
- Fixed a problem that prevented the command "nmap -sT -PT <targets>"
from working from a non-privileged user account. The -PT option
doesn't change default behavior in this case, but Nmap should (and now
does) allow it.
- Better handle ICMP type 3, code 0 (network unreachable) responses to
port scan packets. These are rarely seen when scanning hosts that
are actually online, but are still worth handling.
- Fixed a crash occured when the --exclude option was used with
netmasks on certain platforms. Thanks to Adam
(nmapuser(a)globalmegahost.com) for reporting the problem and to
Greg Darke (starstuff(a)optusnet.com.au) for sending a patch (I
modified the patch a bit to make it more efficient).
- Removed Identd scan support from NmapFE since Nmap no longer
supports it. Thanks to Jonathan Dieter (jdieter99(a)gmx.net) for the
patch.
- Fixed a bug that caused Nmap to crash if an nmap-service-probes file
was used which didn't contain the Exclude directive.
- Fixed a divide-by-zero crash when you specify rather bogus
command-line arguments (a TCP scan with zero tcp ports). Thanks to
Bart Dopheide (dopheide(a)fmf.nl) for identifying the problem and
sending a patch.
- As the CVS log in revision 1.2 does not mention a reason why the
PLIST_SUBST part must be below the inclusion of bsd.pkg.mk, moved the
latter to the last line of the Makefile.
