- forstdin QoL changes: now it exits 1 if it doesn't read anything,
and it only splits on newlines by default.
- forbacktickx, which is a wrapper to forstdin, gets the same changes.
- Line-processing binaries now chomp by default. Substitution
binaries do not.
- New -N option everywhere to disable chomping.
- New "default" directive to trap, replacing the irrelevant "timeout".
Add RUBYGEM_VERBOSE user-settable variable. It is useful for developers.
RUBYGEM_VERBOSE
Execute gem with verbose option.
Possible values: Yes No
Default: No
Passing LDFLAGS verbatim no longer works, prefix each of them with -ccopt,
this seems to work across more ocaml binaries than -ldopt.
Tested across a number of packages that previously failed.

Version 10.23.1 'Dubnium' (LTS)
Notable changes
This is a security release.
Vulnerabilities fixed:
CVE-2020-8265: use-after-free in TLSWrap (High) Affected Node.js versions are vulnerable to a use-after-free bug in its TLS implementation. When writing to a TLS enabled socket, node::StreamBase::Write calls node::TLSWrap::DoWrite with a freshly allocated WriteWrap object as first argument. If the DoWrite method does not return an error, this object is passed back to the caller as part of a StreamWriteResult structure. This may be exploited to corrupt memory leading to a Denial of Service or potentially other exploits
CVE-2020-8287: HTTP Request Smuggling in nodejs Affected versions of Node.js allow two copies of a header field in a http request. For example, two Transfer-Encoding header fields. In this case Node.js identifies the first header field and ignores the second. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/444.html).
CVE-2020-1971: OpenSSL - EDIPARTYNAME NULL pointer de-reference (High) This is a vulnerability in OpenSSL which may be exploited through Node.js. You can read more about it in https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20201208.txt

Camlp5 Version 7.13:
--------------------
* [03 Sep 20] Support for Ocaml 4.11.1.
Camlp5 Version 7.12:
--------------------
* [29 Apr 20] upgrade to minimal support for Ocaml 4.11.0
(specifically 4.11.0+dev2-2020-04-22). This does not provide
support for any new stuff in 4.11.0; indeed, stuff may break. This
is just minimal "build and bootstrap" support.
Python 3.8.7
Core and Builtins
bpo-32381: Fix encoding name when running a .pyc file on Windows: PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags() now uses the correct encoding to decode the filename.
bpo-42536: Several built-in and standard library types now ensure that their internal result tuples are always tracked by the garbage collector:
collections.OrderedDict.items()
dict.items()
enumerate()
functools.reduce()
itertools.combinations()
itertools.combinations_with_replacement()
itertools.permutations()
itertools.product()
itertools.zip_longest()
zip()
Previously, they could have become untracked by a prior garbage collection. Patch by Brandt Bucher.
Library
bpo-42630: tkinter functions and constructors which need a default root window raise now RuntimeError with descriptive message instead of obscure AttributeError or NameError if it is not created yet or cannot be created automatically.
bpo-42644: logging.disable will now validate the types and value of its parameter. It also now accepts strings representing the levels (as does loging.setLevel) instead of only the numerical values.
bpo-36541: Fixed lib2to3.pgen2 to be able to parse PEP-570 positional only argument syntax.
bpo-42375: subprocess module update for DragonFlyBSD support.
bpo-39825: Windows: Change sysconfig.get_config_var('EXT_SUFFIX') to the expected full platform_tag.extension format. Previously it was hard-coded to .pyd, now it is compatible with distutils.sysconfig and will result in something like .cp38-win_amd64.pyd. This brings windows into conformance with the other platforms.
bpo-39101: Fixed tests using IsolatedAsyncioTestCase from hanging on BaseExceptions.
bpo-41907: fix format() behavior for IntFlag
bpo-41889: Enum: fix regression involving inheriting a multiply-inherited enum
bpo-41891: Ensure asyncio.wait_for waits for task completion
bpo-40219: Lowered tkinter.ttk.LabeledScale dummy widget to prevent hiding part of the content label.
bpo-40084: Fix Enum.__dir__: dir(Enum.member) now includes attributes as well as methods.
Documentation
bpo-17140: Add documentation for the multiprocessing.pool.ThreadPool class.
Build
bpo-42604: Now all platforms use a value for the “EXT_SUFFIX” build variable derived from SOABI (for instance in freeBSD, “EXT_SUFFIX” is now “.cpython-310d.so” instead of “.so”). Previosuly only Linux, Mac and VxWorks were using a value for “EXT_SUFFIX” that included “SOABI”.
bpo-42598: Fix implicit function declarations in configure which could have resulted in incorrect configuration checks. Patch contributed by Joshua Root.
Tools/Demos
bpo-42613: Fix freeze.py tool to use the prope config and library directories. Patch by Victor Stinner.
Python 3.8.7 release candidate 1
Security
bpo-42103: Prevented potential DoS attack via CPU and RAM exhaustion when processing malformed Apple Property List files in binary format.
bpo-42051: The plistlib module no longer accepts entity declarations in XML plist files to avoid XML vulnerabilities. This should not affect users as entity declarations are not used in regular plist files.
bpo-40791: Add volatile to the accumulator variable in hmac.compare_digest, making constant-time-defeating optimizations less likely.
Core and Builtins
bpo-41686: On Windows, the SIGINT event, _PyOS_SigintEvent(), is now created even if Python is configured to not install signal handlers (if PyConfig.install_signal_handlers equals to 0, or Py_InitializeEx(0)).
bpo-42143: Fix handling of errors during creation of PyFunctionObject, which resulted in operations on uninitialized memory. Patch by Yonatan Goldschmidt.
bpo-41984: The garbage collector now tracks all user-defined classes. Patch by Brandt Bucher.
bpo-41909: Fixed stack overflow in issubclass() and isinstance() when getting the __bases__ attribute leads to infinite recursion.
bpo-41894: When loading a native module and a load failure occurs, prevent a possible UnicodeDecodeError when not running in a UTF-8 locale by decoding the load error message using the current locale’s encoding.
Library
bpo-17735: inspect.findsource() now raises OSError instead of IndexError when co_lineno of a code object is greater than the file length. This can happen, for example, when a file is edited after it was imported. PR by Irit Katriel.
bpo-42116: Fix handling of trailing comments by inspect.getsource().
bpo-42482: TracebackException no longer holds a reference to the exception’s traceback object. Consequently, instances of TracebackException for equivalent but non-equal exceptions now compare as equal.
bpo-42406: We fixed an issue in pickle.whichmodule in which importing multiprocessing could change the how pickle identifies which module an object belongs to, potentially breaking the unpickling of those objects.
bpo-42328: Fixed tkinter.ttk.Style.map(). The function accepts now the representation of the default state as empty sequence (as returned by Style.map()). The structure of the result is now the same on all platform and does not depend on the value of wantobjects.
bpo-42014: The onerror callback from shutil.rmtree now receives correct function when os.open fails.
bpo-42237: Fix os.sendfile() on illumos.
bpo-42249: Fixed writing binary Plist files larger than 4 GiB.
bpo-35455: On Solaris, thread_time() is now implemented with gethrvtime() because clock_gettime(CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID) is not always available. Patch by Jakub Kulik.
bpo-41754: webbrowser: Ignore NotADirectoryError when calling xdg-settings.
bpo-29566: binhex.binhex() consisently writes macOS 9 line endings.
bpo-42183: Fix a stack overflow error for asyncio Task or Future repr().
The overflow occurs under some circumstances when a Task or Future recursively returns itself.
bpo-42103: InvalidFileException and RecursionError are now the only errors caused by loading malformed binary Plist file (previously ValueError and TypeError could be raised in some specific cases).
bpo-41491: plistlib: fix parsing XML plists with hexadecimal integer values
bpo-32498: Clearer exception message when passing an argument of type bytes to urllib.parse.unquote(). This is only for 3.8; in 3.9 and later this function accepts bytes inputs as well. PR by Irit Katriel.
bpo-42065: Fix an incorrectly formatted error from _codecs.charmap_decode() when called with a mapped value outside the range of valid Unicode code points. PR by Max Bernstein.
bpo-41966: Fix pickling pure Python datetime.time subclasses. Patch by Dean Inwood.
bpo-41976: Fixed a bug that was causing ctypes.util.find_library() to return None when triying to locate a library in an environment when gcc>=9 is available and ldconfig is not. Patch by Pablo Galindo
bpo-41900: C14N 2.0 serialisation in xml.etree.ElementTree failed for unprefixed attributes when a default namespace was defined.
bpo-41855: In importlib.metadata, fix issue where multiple children can be returned from FastPath.zip_children(). Backport of python-devs/importlib_metadata#117.
bpo-41840: Fix a bug in the symtable module that was causing module-scope global variables to not be reported as both local and global. Patch by Pablo Galindo.
bpo-41831: str() for the type attribute of the tkinter.Event object always returns now the numeric code returned by Tk instead of the name of the event type.
bpo-41662: No longer override exceptions raised in __len__() of a sequence of parameters in sqlite3 with ProgrammingError.
bpo-41662: Fixed crash when mutate list of parameters during iteration in sqlite3.
bpo-34215: Clarify the error message for asyncio.IncompleteReadError when expected is None.
bpo-41316: Fix the tarfile module to write only basename of TAR file to GZIP compression header.
bpo-12800: Extracting a symlink from a tarball should succeed and overwrite the symlink if it already exists. The fix is to remove the existing file or symlink before extraction. Based on patch by Chris AtLee, Jeffrey Kintscher, and Senthil Kumaran.
bpo-16936: Allow ctypes.wintypes to be imported on non-Windows systems.
bpo-40592: shutil.which() now ignores empty entries in PATHEXT instead of treating them as a match.
bpo-40492: Fix --outfile for cProfile / profile not writing the output file in the original directory when the program being profiled changes the working directory. PR by Anthony Sottile.
bpo-40105: ZipFile truncates files to avoid corruption when a shorter comment is provided in append (“a”) mode. Patch by Jan Mazur.
bpo-27321: Fixed KeyError exception when flattening an email to a string attempts to replace a non-existent Content-Transfer-Encoding header.
bpo-32793: Fix a duplicated debug message when smtplib.SMTP.connect() is called.
Documentation
bpo-42153: Fix the URL for the IMAP protocol documents.
bpo-41910: Document the default implementation of object.__eq__.
bpo-41774: In Programming FAQ “Sequences (Tuples/Lists)” section, add “How do you remove multiple items from a list”.
bpo-39416: Document some restrictions on the default string representations of numeric classes.
Tests
bpo-41473: Reenable test_gdb on gdb 9.2 and newer: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1866884 bug is fixed in gdb 10.1.
bpo-42553: Fix test_asyncio.test_call_later() race condition: don’t measure asyncio performance in the call_later() unit test. The test failed randomly on the CI.
bpo-40754: Include _testinternalcapi module in Windows installer for test suite
bpo-41739: Fix test_logging.test_race_between_set_target_and_flush(): the test now waits until all threads complete to avoid leaking running threads.
bpo-41944: Tests for CJK codecs no longer call eval() on content received via HTTP.
bpo-41939: Fix test_site.test_license_exists_at_url(): call urllib.request.urlcleanup() to reset the global urllib.request._opener. Patch by Victor Stinner.

bpo-41602: Add tests for SIGINT handling in the runpy module.
bpo-41306: Fixed a failure in test_tk.test_widgets.ScaleTest happening when executing the test with Tk 8.6.10.
Build
bpo-42398: Fix a race condition in “make regen-all” when make -jN option is used to run jobs in parallel. The clinic.py script now only use atomic write to write files. Moveover, generated files are now left unchanged if the content does not change, to not change the file modification time.
Windows
bpo-42120: Remove macro definition of copysign (to _copysign) in headers.
bpo-38439: Updates the icons for IDLE in the Windows Store package.
bpo-41557: Update Windows installer to use SQLite 3.33.0.
bpo-38324: Avoid Unicode errors when accessing certain locale data on Windows.

IDLE
bpo-42426: Fix reporting offset of the RE error in searchengine.
bpo-42415: Get docstrings for IDLE calltips more often by using inspect.getdoc.
bpo-33987: Mostly finish using ttk widgets, mainly for editor, settings, and searches. Some patches by Mark Roseman.
bpo-41775: Use ‘IDLE Shell’ as shell title
bpo-40511: Typing opening and closing parentheses inside the parentheses of a function call will no longer cause unnecessary “flashing” off and on of an existing open call-tip, e.g. when typed in a string literal.
bpo-38439: Add a 256×256 pixel IDLE icon to the Windows .ico file. Created by Andrew Clover. Remove the low-color gif variations from the .ico file.
C API
bpo-41986: Py_FileSystemDefaultEncodeErrors and Py_UTF8Mode are available again in limited API.
Provides a header only, C++11 interface to R's C interface. Compared
to other approaches 'cpp11' strives to be safe against long jumps from
the C API as well as C++ exceptions, conform to normal R function
semantics and supports interaction with 'ALTREP' vectors.
ChangeLog:
2020-12-23 Simon Sobisch <simonsobisch@gnu.org>
* configure.ac: version 3.1.2
2020-12-15 Simon Sobisch <simonsobisch@gnu.org>
* configure.ac: fixed use of MPIR_LIBS
This results in a successful build and a js78 executable that runs in
my test environment (the most recent OmniOS release). However, test
suite execution yields an immediate failure with the message "too much
recursion", so it seems more work is still required here.
Version 14.15.3 'Fermium' (LTS)
Notable Changes
Node.js v14.15.2 included a commit that has caused reported breakages when cloning request objects. This release reverts the commit that introduced the behaviour change. See https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/36550 for more details.
Normally, we would not package beta versions, except maybe in pkgsrc-wip.
This is different though, since 1.16.beta1 is the first Go version supporting
macOS on Apple Silicon.
Discussion about this was on tech-pkg@.
This uses go-1.16.beta1, which is the first (beta) release to natively
support Apple Silicon on macOS.
Discussed and tested on tech-pkg@.
Note that more is missing to be able to use Go 1.16 to build packages on
Darwin/aarch64 (or arm64).
## 1.13.1 - 2020-12-13
- Pretty printing a table with a prototype will look for `:_name` instead of `:name`
in the prototype table to tag the output.
- `match` macro implementation changed to be tail recursive.
- Adds a :preload loader which allows one to manually put things into `module/cache`.
- Add `buffer/push` function.
- Backtick delimited strings and buffers are now reindented based on the column of the
opening delimiter. Whitespace in columns to the left of the starting column is ignored unless
there are non-space/non-newline characters in that region, in which case the old behavior is preserved.
- Argument to `(error)` combinator in PEGs is now optional.
- Add `(line)` and `(column)` combinators to PEGs to capture source line and column.
This should make error reporting a bit easier.
- Add `merge-module` to core.
- During installation and release, merge janetconf.h into janet.h for easier install.
- Add `upscope` special form.
- `os/execute` and `os/spawn` can take streams for redirecting IO.
- Add `:parser` and `:read` parameters to `run-context`.
- Add `os/open` if ev is enabled.
- Add `os/pipe` if ev is enabled.
- Add `janet_thread_current(void)` to C API
- Add integer parsing forms to pegs. This makes parsing many binary protocols easier.
- Lots of updates to networking code - now can use epoll (or poll) on linux and IOCP on windows.
- Add `ev/` module. This exposes a fiber scheduler, queues, timeouts, and other functionality to users
for single threaded cooperative scheduling and asynchronous IO.
- Add `net/accept-loop` and `net/listen`. These functions break down `net/server` into it's essential parts
and are more flexible. They also allow further improvements to these utility functions.
- Various small bug fixes.

of seconds in C$SLEEP now
** TYPEDEF and SAME AS (COBOL 2002) implemented, including the MicroFocus
and RM/COBOL variants
** >>TURN (COBOL 2002) directive implemented, allowing some exception checks
to be turned on/off per source as desired
** Improved support for different compiler extensions (ACUCOBOL, IBM,
Fujitsu, MicroFocus COBOL, Microsoft COBOL, RM/COBOL, CA Realia and more)
** file handling: include support for a callable EXTFH interface also provided
by several compilers including Micro Focus
This allows users to insert an external file handler while retaining
all of the normal COBOL I/O functions with a possible callback to libcob.
To have the compiled program call `yourfh()` for file I/O use:
`cobc -fcallfh=yourfh`
In turn `yourfh()` may call `EXTFH()` to use I/O functions from GnuCOBOL.
The external file handler can also be directly invoked from COBOL, too,
using `CALL "EXTFH"`.
** Note: Not each flag contained in the FCD3 is handled already **
** file handling: added support for [RE]WRITE FILE file FROM source
** file handling: name mapping adjusted (improved MF and ACU-compatibility):
entries starting with a period or number are not resolved any more,
periods in the external identifier are always replaced by underscore
-> MY.FILE is resolved by DD_MY_FILE, dd_MY_FILE, MIFILE now;
prefixes "-F " and "-D " are removed from external names;
if filename is not absolute after translation, COB_FILE_PATH is now
still applied;
File name mapping now applies both to COBOL statements and CALLable
CBL_ and C$ file routines.
** Screen I/O: initial mouse support (for details see runtime.cfg),
use of CURSOR clause in SPECIAL-NAMES for positioning on ACCEPT
** on abort a stack trace will be genereated, this can be suppressed by
runtime configuration option COB_STRACK_TRACE
** the dump that is generated on abort (depending on -fdump at compile-time)
was heavily improved and combines consecutive identical OCCURS items,
leading to smaller dump files
** changes in handling COPY statement:
* copybook names that contain an extension aren't searched with additional
extensions [as post-rc1-change this may be set to old behaviour by
defining COB_MULTI_EXTENSION when building GnuCOBOL/cobc]
* library names are now tested for environment "COB_COPY_LIB_libname",
allowing the directory to specified externally (also as no-directory
by exporting with empty value) and has a fallback (with a warning) to
be effectively ignored (as previous versions did this)
* Removed functions
** SCREEN SECTION, REPORT-WRITER module: removed non-standard extension
"LINE / COL signed-integer" (inadvertently available since 2.2/3.0rc1);
which will now raise an error "unsigned integer expected";
if used replace by standard "LINE / COL +/- integer"
* Obsolete features (will be removed in the next version if no explicit user
requests are raised)
** support for Borland C compiler and linker
** -fif-cutoff flag for cobc (currently disabled, see entry below in 3.0rc1)
** old OpenCOBOL-only-EXTFH
* Changes to the COBOL compiler (cobc) options:
** new options:
-f[no]-ec=exception-name to tune the exception checks similar to the >>TURN
directive, you may also leave out the "EC-" prefix here, example to
enable all checks but disable all bound checks but OCCURS DEPENDING ON:
cobc -debug -fno-ec=bound -fec=bound-odo
** adjustments to warning options:
-Wextra "new" option to enable every possible warning that is not dialect
specific (this option used to be called -W)
-Wadditional new warning group for all warnings that don't have a group
on their own
-Wno-error and -Wno-error=<warning> to treat (specific <warning>s) not as error
-Wdangling-text for raising the warning "source text after program area",
not included in -Wall any more
-Wno-ignored-error allows to suppress messages that normally would be an
error and are only allowed because they are never executed
-Wimplicit-define and -Wcorresponding are now enabled by default
-f[no]-diagnostics-show-option, enabled by default, shows the
command line option responsible for the diagnostic message
extra information to a warning (or error) is now marked as "note:"
** the interal Xref got a huge speedup, has all references in ascending order
now and includes the total amount of direct references
** the interal listing got a speedup and has all error references in
ascending order now
** cobc -g (and configure --enable-debug) use the most expressive
debugging options available on the system
** cobc -g now auto-includes references to the COBOL source file and to
all ENTRY and SECTION elements to ease source level debugging
* Changes in the COBOL runtime (libcob)
** Messages from the COBOL runtime are also translated now (if installed).
To prevent this disable translations in general with using the configure
option --disable-nls (or by deactivating ENABLE_NLS in config.h).
** libcob.h does no longer auto-include gmp.h (behavior since 2.x), if you link
against libcob and need cob_decimal include gmp.h/mpir.h yourself before;
otherwise you do not need it in your include path any more
** execution times of INSPECT and INITIALIZE with OCCURS were heavily cut down
** convenience functions for direct C access to COBOL fields and for debugging
were added, see new C-API documentation
** first-time file-locking under Win32
** Breaking change: previously the return-code of registered error handlers
(by CBL_ERROR_PROC) were ignored. This was changed according to the
documentation for CBL_ERROR_PROC -> a RETURN-VALUE of ZERO skips further
error handlers to be called, including the internal one.
* New build features
** Running the internal tests by make check now fails if the testsuite has any
unexpected result.
** The modules and test programs in the NIST COBOL-85 test suite (tests/cobol85)
may now be build and/or tested and/or the test results checked separately.
You now may also run the tests with a previous installed version of GnuCOBOL
(or a version specified by a manual temporary setup).
For details see tests/cobol85/README.
** new configure option --with-math=ARG to specify which math multiple precision
library is to be used, where ARG may be: check (default), gmp, mpir
** new configure options --with-xml2 / -without-xml2 to explicit force/disable
XML runtime support, otherwise it will be included if found as working
** new configure option --with-json / -without-json to explicit force/disable
JSON runtime support, otherwise it will be included if found as working
Note: As a special case you may built-in cJSON by placing its source in
the folder "libcob". If it is included there, this version will be compiled
into libcob. It may be enforced with --with-json=local,
like --with-json=cjson and --with-json=json-c enforce the given library.
** To adjust the build system for GMP/MPIR you may use the new variables
GMP_CFLAGS / MPIR_CFLAGS and GMP_LIBS / MPIR_LIBS.
If unset configure will try pkg-config.
** To adjust configure to use libxml2 you may use the new variables XML2_CFLAGS
and XML2_LIBS. If unset configure will use pkg-config / xml2-config.
** To adjust configure to use libcjson you may use the new variables CJSON_CFLAGS
and CJSON_LIBS, similar JSON_C_CFLAGS and JSON_C_LIBS for libjson-c.
If unset configure will use pkg-config.
** new configure option --enable-hardening to either enable GNU C's
hardening options or leave as-is, or disable (which previous versions
effectively did)
** build system: defaults.h is not created or included any more, all configure
provided defines are now found in the single header config.h
** Any time after `make` you can call `pre-inst-env` script to use the still-
uninstalled binaries. Samples:
pre-inst-env cobc -xj prog.cob
pre-inst-env cobcrun -M prog start
pre-inst-env may also be called without parameters to start a new shell
session with the environment adjusted to use the uninstalled version.
* Too much bug fixes to list here (please check ChangeLogs for full details),
includes the following CVEs:
** compiler (may be triggered with special crafted source files)
CVE-2019-14468, CVE-2019-14486, CVE-2019-14528, CVE-2019-14541,
CVE-2019-16396, CVE-2019-16395
* GnuCOBOL's getopt implementation honors POSIXLY_CORRECT now:
if set to any value the option parsing in cobc, cobcrun and CBL_GC_GETOPT
stops at the first nonoption, otherwise it stays with the old behaviour and
re-orders nonoptions to the end)
* Known issues in 3.1
** testsuite:
* if built with vbisam, cisam or disam, depending on the version used, some
tests will lead to UNEXPECTED PASS, while others may fail
* possibly failing tests (false positives):
* temporary path invalid
* compiler outputs (assembler)
* compile from stdin
* NIST: OBNC1M.CBL false positive (the test runner uses a nonportable way of
emulating a program kill)
** the recent additions of ">> TURN" and "variable LIKE variable" may not work
as expected in all cases
** features that are known to not be portable to every environment yet
(especially when using a different compiler than GCC)
* function with variable-length RETURNING item
* USAGE POINTER, which may need to be manually aligned
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GnuCOBOL 3.0-rc1 released (20180422)
* New GnuCOBOL features
** REPORTWRITER module added
** INDEXED file handling: added support for sparse and split keys
** file handling: added support for [RE]WRITE FILE file FROM source
** DISPLAY ... UPON PRINTER may be redirected to an external command
(new runtime configuration COB_DISPLAY_PRINT_PIPE) or appended to a file
(new runtime configuration COB_DISPLAY_PRINT_FILE, which takes precedence)
** XML GENERATE statement
(note: runtime support needs additional library libxml2)
** JSON GENERATE statement
(note: runtime support needs additional library cJSON)
** Improved support for different compiler extensions (ACUCOBOL, IBM,
Fujitsu, MicroFocus COBOL, Microsoft COBOL, RM/COBOL and more)
** Parser support for many features of different compilers, for example
PIC 1 / USAGE BIT, ACUCOBOL extensions for graphical controls
VALIDATE statement and much more.
Most of them will be fully implemented in a later version...
** Option to dump (partial) data of modules on abort.
Use new cobc option -fdump=<scope> to prepare the module and optional
use new runtime configuration options COB_DUMP_FILE and COB_DUMP_WIDTH
to adjust the dump.
** C interface: new functions cob_set_runtime_option / cob_get_runtime_option
to set/get special runtime options (currently FILE * for trace and printer
output) or to reload the runtime configuration after changing environment
** file handling: include support for a callable EXTFH interface also provided
by several compilers including Micro Focus
This allows users to insert an external file handler while retaining
all of the normal COBOL I/O functions with a possible callback to libcob.
To have the compiled program call `yourfh()` for file I/O use:
`cobc -fcallfh=yourfh`
In turn `yourfh()` may call `EXTFH()` to use I/O functions from GnuCOBOL.
The external file handler can also be directly invoked from COBOL, too,
using `CALL "EXTFH"`.
** Note: Not all flags contained in the FCD3 are handled already **
* Changed cobc options:
** The option -debug (runtime checks) no longer implies -ftrace (option to
trace program flow of the generated module with COB_SET_TRACE).
You may specify -ftrace[all] along -debug if you want to use this feature.
** The option -E (preprocess file) does not imply an output file any more.
If no output file is explicit specified with -o filename.i the output will
be written to stdout (behavior of versions 1.1 is restored).
Requesting output to stdout explicit by using a dash as output name is
also possible.
** Changed options for listing:
The option -tsymbols was replaced by -ftsymbols and therefore can now also
be explicit deactivated by specifying -fno-tsymbols.
New options for suppressing (or explicit requesting) parts of the listing:
-fno-theader suppress all headers from listing while keeping page breaks
-fno-tmessages suppress warning and error summary from listing
-fno-tsource suppress actual source from listing (for example to only
produce the cross-reference)
** The option -fif-cutoff (option to change generated C sources to use
a label + goto for nested if/else) was deactivated to allow the C compiler
to fully control the program flow.
** Please report if you have a need for this option as it will be **
** removed permanently in the next release of GnuCOBOL otherwise. **
* Changes in the COBOL runtime (libcob)
** updated exception handling, GnuCOBOL now only cleans raised exceptions when
requested by SET LAST EXCEPTION TO OFF
** The standard-format for program tracing was changed and is now adjustable
by the runtime configuration option COB_TRACE_FORMAT.
* New build features
** New test suite for manual tests (especially SCREEN I/O),
run with `make checkmanual`.
Note: You may want to adjust the test runner tests/run_prog_manual.sh which
defaults to xterm in GUI environments and screen in terminal environments.
** new configure option --enable-debug-log to allow *internal* tracing
of GnuCOBOL (intended for developers of GnuCOBOL only)
* Too much bug fixes to list here (please check ChangeLogs for full details).
Patches for solaris and friends are reinstated (thanks jperkin@)
Also thanks to he@ for testing on powerpc and arm

format
* A native backend for the RISC-V architecture
* Improved backtraces that refer to function names
* Suppport for recursive and yet unboxed types

* Many quality of life improvements
* Many bug fixes.
4.11.1 is a bugfix release. Full details in the CHANGELOG included with
the distribution.
Python 3.9.1 final
Core and Builtins
bpo-42576: types.GenericAlias will now raise a TypeError when attempting to initialize with a keyword argument. Previously, this would cause the interpreter to crash if the interpreter was compiled with debug symbols. This does not affect interpreters compiled for release. Patch by Ken Jin.
Library
bpo-5054: CGIHTTPRequestHandler.run_cgi() HTTP_ACCEPT improperly parsed. Replace the special purpose getallmatchingheaders with generic get_all method and add relevant tests.
bpo-17735: inspect.findsource() now raises OSError instead of IndexError when co_lineno of a code object is greater than the file length. This can happen, for example, when a file is edited after it was imported.
bpo-42116: Fix handling of trailing comments by inspect.getsource().
bpo-42487: ChainMap.__iter__ no longer calls __getitem__ on underlying maps
bpo-42482: TracebackException no longer holds a reference to the exception’s traceback object. Consequently, instances of TracebackException for equivalent but non-equal exceptions now compare as equal.
bpo-42406: We fixed an issue in pickle.whichmodule in which importing multiprocessing could change the how pickle identifies which module an object belongs to, potentially breaking the unpickling of those objects.
bpo-34215: Clarify the error message for asyncio.IncompleteReadError when expected is None.
bpo-12800: Extracting a symlink from a tarball should succeed and overwrite the symlink if it already exists. The fix is to remove the existing file or symlink before extraction. Based on patch by Chris AtLee, Jeffrey Kintscher, and Senthil Kumaran.
Tests
bpo-41473: Reenable test_gdb on gdb 9.2 and newer: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1866884 bug is fixed in gdb 10.1.
bpo-42553: Fix test_asyncio.test_call_later() race condition: don’t measure asyncio performance in the call_later() unit test. The test failed randomly on the CI.
macOS
bpo-41116: If no explicit macOS SDK was specified, setup.py should check for Tcl and TK frameworks in /Library/Frameworks; the previous commit inadvertently broke that test.
bpo-42504: Fix build on macOS Big Sur when MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=11
IDLE
bpo-42508: Keep IDLE running on macOS. Remove obsolete workaround that prevented running files with shortcuts when using new universal2 installers built on macOS 11.
On NetBSD, the "thread scheduler" appears to just schedule two
threads out of 4 when all they in essence to is "yield", and not
do round-robin scheduling, causing the test to loop. Reduce the
number of threads in the test to 2.
Bump PKGREVISION.

Like the other test, because /dev/shm isn't available in the build
environment doesn't mean it won't be available on the destination
machine for the packages.
This attempts to build and run a program that uses POSIX semaphores.
This fails in a pbulk sandbox that doesn't contain /dev/shm, resulting
in a broken package where the idea that the platform doesn't support
POSIX semaphores is baked in forever. In newer Python versions,
this means Python doesn't even build properly.
XXX: We might want to avoid it on other platforms too...
3.7 is currently in security fixes only mode, but 3.8 will
continue to recieve a few more months of normal bug fixes.
This should give us time to prep the tree for 3.9 (a few packages
are not happy with 3.9 yet).
3.8 might be more problematic than 3.7 for Linuxes using older compilers
where shm_open isn't detected probably (however this problem doesn't
seem to be entirely absent in 3.7, as shown by certain packages like
mozjs*?). According to the CentOS 7 folks on tech-pkg this should be
possible to work around by using a newer compiler.
0.9.1
Added
- Functions to convert positions from and to utf-16 code units
- Type definitions for `ClientInfo` and `HoverParams`
Changed
- Exit server normally when `ctrl+c` is pressed in command shell.
- Mark deprecated `rangeLength` optional in `TextDocumentContentChangeEvent`
- Optimize json-rpc message serialization
- Fix `__init__()` constructors in several interface types
- Fix valueSet type in `SymbolKindAbstract`
Fixed
- `coroutine` deprecation warning - use async def instead
On NetBSD 8.x, there will be issues with shared library
support, due to missing support for ADDR16_LO, ADDR16_HI
and ADDR16_HA relocations, available in newer code.
There are however other issues, text relocations, and
apparent missing REL24 relocation support(?!?).
The testyield.ml test appears to not terminate, only two
of the 4(?) threads ever get any CPU time, so has to be killed
to complete the selftests. Test result:
2438 tests passed
36 tests skipped
12 tests failed
108 tests not started (parent test skipped or failed)
8 unexpected errors
2602 tests considered
This is for the benefit of NetBSD/powerpc, where we now depends on
the recently added libatomic-links package which leaves symlinks to
the libatomic library files in that directory. This is so that we
don't automatically pick up other libraries behind the compiler users
back.
Also, match the newly uploaded NetBSD/macppc 9.0 bootstrap (regenerated
with this patch applied to 1.46.0).
No pkgrevision bump, since this is a build fix for NetBSD/powerpc.
Release overview
================
Main changes in this release (see RELEASES.rst for full details):
* Various fixes and portability improvements.
Upgrading from Duktape 2.5
==========================
No action (other than recompiling) should be needed for most users to upgrade
from Duktape v2.5.x.
As with earlier versions, this expects 64-bit atomic operations.
Separately, there's an issue with an assertion in test code that makes
an assumption about the size of an index variable vs. size_t that
doesn't hold.
Test suite comparisons between resultant amd64 and i386 builds on
recent NetBSD releases reveal a similar number of failures (18 vs. 20),
mostly to do with date parsing, though i386 also fails with two IEEE
754 double precision tests.
I did look at carrying mozjs60 patches for NetBSD/powerpc forward, but
I don't have a viable test environment at the moment, and code
inspection suggests that may not be straightforward.
Vala 0.50.2
===========
* Various improvements and bug fixes:
- codegen:

execline is a (non-interactive) scripting language, like sh, but its syntax
is quite different from a traditional shell syntax. The execlineb program
is meant to be used as an interpreter for a text file; the other commands
are essentially useful inside an execlineb script.
I happen to have include/gts.h installed, which includes an accented
ISO-8859-1 character in its copyright message. This trips up the configuration
of Python in pkgsrc.
Ignore files with invalid unicode characters.
Also regenerate one other patch. No revision bump since the result is the same.

- math/big: panic during recursive division of very large numbers
A number of math/big.Int <https://pkg.go.dev/math/big#Int> methods (Div,
Exp, DivMod, Quo, Rem, QuoRem, Mod, ModInverse, ModSqrt, Jacobi, and GCD)
can panic when provided crafted large inputs. For the panic to happen, the
divisor or modulo argument must be larger than 3168 bits (on 32-bit
architectures) or 6336 bits (on 64-bit architectures). Multiple math/big.Rat
<https://pkg.go.dev/math/big#Rat> methods are similarly affected.
crypto/rsa.VerifyPSS <https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/rsa#VerifyPSS>,
crypto/rsa.VerifyPKCS1v15 <https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/rsa#VerifyPKCS1v15>,
and crypto/dsa.Verify <https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/dsa#Verify> may panic when
provided crafted public keys and signatures. crypto/ecdsa and
crypto/elliptic operations may only be affected if custom CurveParams
<https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/elliptic#CurveParams> with unusually large field
sizes (several times larger than the largest supported curve, P-521) are in
use. Using crypto/x509.Verify on a crafted X.509 certificate chain can lead
to a panic, even if the certificates don’t chain to a trusted root. The
chain can be delivered via a crypto/tls connection to a client, or to a
server that accepts and verifies client certificates. net/http clients can
be made to crash by an HTTPS server, while net/http servers that accept
client certificates will recover the panic and are unaffected.
Moreover, an application might crash invoking
crypto/x509.(*CertificateRequest).CheckSignature on an X.509 certificate
request or during a golang.org/x/crypto/otr conversation. Parsing a
golang.org/x/crypto/openpgp Entity or verifying a signature may crash.
Finally, a golang.org/x/crypto/ssh client can panic due to a malformed host
key, while a server could panic if either PublicKeyCallback accepts a
malformed public key, or if IsUserAuthority accepts a certificate with a
malformed public key.

Version 1.65.90
---------------
- GJS now has an optional, Linux-only, dependency on libsysprof-capture-4
instead of libsysprof-capture-3 for the profiler functionality.
- New API: gjs_coverage_enable() allows the collection of code coverage metrics.
If you are using GjsCoverage, it is now required to call gjs_coverage_enable()
before you create the first GjsContext. Previously this was not necessary, but
due to changes in SpiderMonkey 78 you must now indicate in advance if you want
to collect code coverage metrics.
- New JavaScript features! This version of GJS is based on SpiderMonkey 78, an
upgrade from the previous ESR (Extended Support Release) of SpiderMonkey 68.
Here are the highlights of the new JavaScript features.
For more information, look them up on MDN or devdocs.io.
* New language features
+ A new regular expression engine, supporting lookbehind and named capture
groups, among other things
* New syntax
+ The ?? operator ("nullish coalescing operator") is now supported
+ The ?. operator ("optional chaining operator") is now supported
+ Public static class fields are now supported
+ Separators in numeric literals are now supported: for example, 1_000_000
* New APIs
+ String.replaceAll() for replacing all instances of a string inside another
string
+ Promise.allSettled() for awaiting until all Promises in an array have
either fulfilled or rejected
+ Intl.Locale
+ Intl.ListFormat
+ Intl.RelativeTimeFormat.formatToParts()
* New behaviour
+ There are a lot of minor behaviour changes as SpiderMonkey's JS
implementation conforms ever closer to existing ECMAScript standards and
adopts new ones. For complete information, read the Firefox developer
release notes:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/69#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/70#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/71#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/72#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/73#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/74#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/75#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/76#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/77#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/78#JavaScript
* Backwards-incompatible changes
+ The Object.toSource() method has been removed
+ The uneval() global function has been removed
+ A leading zero is now never allowed for BigInt literals, making 08n and
09n invalid similar to the existing error when legacy octal numbers like
07n are used
+ The Function.caller property now has the value of null if the caller is a
strict, async, or generator function, instead of throwing a TypeError
- Backwards-incompatible change: Paths specified on the command line with
the --coverage-prefix argument, are now always interpreted as paths. If they
are relative paths, they will be resolved relative to the current working
directory. In previous versions, they would be treated as string prefixes,
which led to unexpected behaviour when the path of the script was absolute
and the coverage prefix relative, or vice versa.
- Closed bugs and merge requests:
* Port to libsysprof-capture-4.a [!457, Philip Withnall, Philip Chimento]
* CI: Switch ASAN jobs to runners tagged so [!461, Bartłomiej Piotrowski]
* Rework global code to support multiple global "types". (Part 1) [!453, Evan
Welsh]
* SpiderMonkey 78 [#329, !462, !458, Evan Welsh, Philip Chimento]
* GIArgument inlines [!460, Marco Trevisan, Philip Chimento]
* gjs stopped building on 32 bits [#335, !463, Marco Trevisan, Philip
Chimento]

Philip Chimento]

* Can not access GObject properties of classes without GI information [Juan
Pablo Ugarte, !385, #299]
Version 1.63.90
---------------
- New JS API: The GObject module has gained new overrides:
GObject.signal_handler_find(), GObject.signal_handlers_block_matched(),
GObject.signal_handlers_unblock_matched(), and
GObject.signal_handlers_disconnect_matched(). These overrides replace the
corresponding C API, which was not idiomatic for JavaScript and was not fully
functional because it used bare C pointers for some of its functionality.
See modules/overrides/GObject.js for API documentation.
- New JavaScript features! This version of GJS is based on SpiderMonkey 68, an
upgrade from the previous ESR (Extended Support Release) of SpiderMonkey 60.
Here are the highlights of the new JavaScript features.
For more information, look them up on MDN or devdocs.io.
* New language features
+ The BigInt type, currently a stage 3 proposal in the ES standard, is now
available.
* New syntax
+ `globalThis` is now the ES-standard supported way to get the global
object, no matter what kind of JS environment. The old way, `window`, will
still work, but is no longer preferred.
+ BigInt literals are expressed by a number with "n" appended to it: for
example, `1n`, `9007199254740992n`.
* New APIs
+ String.prototype.trimStart() and String.prototype.trimEnd() now exist and
are preferred instead of trimLeft() and trimRight() which are nonstandard.
+ String.prototype.matchAll() allows easier access to regex capture groups.
+ Array.prototype.flat() flattens nested arrays, well-known from lodash and
similar libraries.
+ Array.prototype.flatMap() acts like a reverse filter(), allowing adding
elements to an array while iterating functional-style.
+ Object.fromEntries() creates an object from iterable key-value pairs.
+ Intl.RelativeTimeFormat is useful for formatting time differences into
human-readable strings such as "1 day ago".
+ BigInt64Array and BigUint64Array are two new typed array types.
* New behaviour
+ There are a lot of minor behaviour changes as SpiderMonkey's JS
implementation conforms ever closer to existing ECMAScript standards and
adopts new ones. For complete information, read the Firefox developer
release notes:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/61#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/62#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/63#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/64#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/65#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/66#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/67#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/68#JavaScript
* Backwards-incompatible changes
+ The nonstandard String generics were removed. These had only ever been
implemented by Mozilla and never made it into a standard. (An example of a
String generic is calling a string method on something that might not be a
string like this: `String.endsWith(foo, 5)`. The proper way is
`String.prototype.endsWith.call(foo, 5)` or converting `foo` to a string.)
This should not pose much of a problem for existing code, since in the
previous version these would already print a deprecation warning whenever
they were used.
You can use `moz68tool` from mozjs-deprecation-tools
(https://gitlab.gnome.org/ptomato/moz60tool) to scan your code for this
nonstandard usage.

Version 1.58.4
--------------
- Now prints a warning when constructing an unregistered object inheriting from
GObject (i.e. if you forgot to use GObject.registerClass.) In 1.58.2 this
would throw an exception, which broke some existing code, so that change was
reverted in 1.58.3. In this version the check is reinstated, but we log a
warning instead of throwing an exception, so that people know to fix their
code, but without breaking things.
NOTE: In 1.64 (the next stable release) the warning will be changed back into
an exception, because code with this problem can be subtly broken and cause
unexpected errors elsewhere. So make sure to fix your code if you get this
warning.
- Closed bugs and merge requests:
* GSettings crash fixes [Andy Holmes, !373]
- Memory savings for Cairo objects [Philip Chimento, !374]
- Fix for crash in debug functions [Philip Chimento, !374]
Version 1.63.2
--------------
- There is an option for changing the generated GType name for GObject classes
created in GJS to a new scheme that is less likely to have collisions. This
scheme is not yet the default, but you can opt into it by setting
`GObject.gtypeNameBasedOnJSPath = true;` as early as possible in your
prograṁ. Doing this may require some changes in Glade files if you use
composite widget templates.
We recommend you make this change in your codebase as soon as possible, to
avoid any surprises in the future.
- New JS API: GObject.Object has gained a stop_emission_by_name() method which
is a bit more idiomatic than calling GObject.signal_stop_emission_by_name().
- It's now supported to use the "object" attribute in a signal connection in a
composite widget template in a Glade file.
- Closed bugs and merge requests:
* CI: Tweak eslint rule for unneeded parentheses [Florian Müllner, !353]

* [cairo] insufficient checking [Philip Chimento, #49, !360]
- Various crash fixes backported from the development branch that didn't close
a bug or merge request.
Version 1.63.1
--------------
- Note that the 1.59, 1.60, 1.61, and 1.62 releases are hereby skipped, because
we are calling the next stable series 1.64 to match gobject-introspection and
GLib.
- GJS now includes a Meson build system. This is now the preferred way to build
it; however, the old Autotools build system is still available for a
transitional period.

Version 1.58.0
--------------
- No change from 1.57.92.
Version 1.57.92
---------------
- Closed bugs and merge requests:
* tests: Enable regression test cases for GPtrArrays and GArrays of structures
[Stéphane Seng, !334]
* Various maintenance [Philip Chimento, !333, !335]
Version 1.57.91
---------------
- GJS no longer links to libgtk-3. This makes it possible to load the Gtk-4.0
typelib in GJS and write programs that use GTK 4.
- The heapgraph tool has gained some improvements; it is now possible to print a
heap graph of multiple targets. You can also mark an object for better
identification in the heap graph by assigning a magic property: for example,
myObject.__heapgraph_name = 'Button' will make that object identify itself as
"Button" in heap graphs.
- Closed bugs and merge requests:
* Remove usage of Lang in non legacy code [Sonny Piers, !322]
* GTK4 [Florian Müllner, #99, !328, !330]

* Implement all GObject-introspection test suites [Philip Chimento, !327,
!332]
* Heapgraph improvements [Philip Chimento, !325]
Version 1.57.90
---------------
- New JS API: GLib.Variant has gained a recursiveUnpack() method which
transforms the variant entirely into a JS object, discarding all type
information. This can be useful for dealing with a{sv} dictionaries, where
deepUnpack() will keep the values as GLib.Variant instances in order to
preserve the type information.
- New JS API: GLib.Variant has gained a deepUnpack() method which is exactly the
same as the already existing deep_unpack(), but fits with the other camelCase
APIs that GJS adds.
- Closed bugs and merge requests:
* Marshalling of GPtrArray broken [#9, !311, Stéphane Seng]
* Fix locale chooser [!313, Philip Chimento]
* dbus-wrapper: Remove interface skeleton flush idle on dispose [!312, Marco

- Various CI fixes [Philip Chimento]
Version 1.57.4
--------------
- Closed bugs and merge requests:
* gjs 1.57 requires a recent sysprof version for sysprof-capture-3 [#258,
!309, Olivier Fourdan]
- Misc documentation changes [Philip Chimento]
Version 1.57.3
--------------
- The GJS profiler is now integrated directly into Sysprof 3, via the
GJS_TRACE_FD environment variable. Call stack information and garbage
collector timing will show up in Sysprof. See also GNOME/Initiatives#10
- New JS API: System.addressOfGObject(obj) will return a string with the hex
address of the underlying GObject of `obj` if it is a GObject wrapper, or
throw an exception if it is not. This is intended for debugging.
- New JS API: It's now possible to pass a value from Gio.DBusProxyFlags to the
constructor of a class created by Gio.DBusProxy.makeProxyWrapper().
- Backwards-incompatible change: Trying to read a write-only property on a DBus
proxy object, or write a read-only property, will now throw an exception.
Previously it would fail silently. It seems unlikely any code is relying on
the old behaviour, and if so then it was probably masking a bug.
- Closed bugs and merge requests:
* Build failure on Continuous [#253, !300, Philip Chimento]
* build: Bump glib requirement [!302, Florian Müllner]
* profiler: avoid clearing 512 bytes of stack [!304, Christian Hergert]

* Marshalling of GPtrArray broken [#9, !307, Stéphane Seng]
* Build fix [!308, Philip Chimento]
* Gio: sync dbus wrapper properties flags [!298, Marco Trevisan]
* GjsMaybeOwned: Reduce allocation when used as Object member [!303, Marco
Trevisan]
Version 1.57.2
--------------
- There are now overrides for Gio.SettingsSchema and Gio.Settings which avoid
aborting the whole process when trying to access a nonexistent key or child
schema. The original API from GLib was intended for apps, since apps should
have complete control over which settings keys they are allowed to access.
However, it is not a good fit for shell extensions, which may need to access
different settings keys depending on the version of GNOME shell they're
running on.
This feature is based on code from Cinnamon which the copyright holders have
kindly agreed to relicense to GJS's license.
- New JS API: It is now possible to pass GObject.TypeFlags to
GObject.registerClass(). For example, passing
`GTypeFlags: GObject.TypeFlags.ABSTRACT` in the class info object, will create
a class that cannot be instantiated. This functionality was present in
Lang.Class but has been missing from GObject.registerClass().
- Closed bugs and merge requests:
* Document logging features [#230, !288, Andy Holmes]
* Support optional GTypeFlags value in GObject subclasses [!290, Florian
Müllner]
* Ensure const-correctness in C++ objects [#105, !291, Onur Şahin]

Fan]
Version 1.55.91
---------------
- The problem of freezing while running the tests using GCC's sanitizers was
determined to be a bug in GCC, which was fixed in GCC 9.0.1.
- Closed bugs and merge requests:
* gnome-sound-recorder crashes deep inside libgjs [#223, !266, Philip
Chimento]
* Various maintenance [!267, Philip Chimento]
* wrapperutils: Define $gtype property as non-enumerable [!268, Philip
Chimento]
Version 1.55.90
---------------
- New JS API: It's now possible to call and implement DBus methods whose
parameters or return types include file descriptor lists (type signature 'h'.)
This involves passing or receiving a Gio.UnixFDList instance along with the
parameters or return values.
To call a method with a file descriptor list, pass the Gio.UnixFDList along
with the rest of the parameters, in any order, the same way you would pass a
Gio.Cancellable or async callback.
For return values, things are a little more complicated, in order to avoid
breaking existing code. Previously, synchronously called DBus proxy methods
would return an unpacked GVariant. Now, but only if called with a
Gio.UnixFDList, they will return [unpacked GVariant, Gio.UnixFDList]. This
does not break existing code because it was not possible to call a method with
a Gio.UnixFDList before, and the return value is unchanged if not calling with
a Gio.UnixFDList. This does mean, unfortunately, that if you have a method
with an 'h' in its return signature but not in its argument signatures, you
will have to call it with an empty FDList in order to receive an FDList with
the return value, when calling synchronously.
On the DBus service side, when receiving a method call, we now pass the
Gio.UnixFDList received from DBus to the called method. Previously, sync
methods were passed the parameters, and async methods were passed the
parameters plus the Gio.DBusInvocation object. Appending the Gio.UnixFDList to
those parameters also should not break existing code.
See the new tests in installed-tests/js/testGDBus.js for examples of calling
methods with FD lists.
- We have observed on the CI server that GJS 1.55.90 will hang forever while
running the test suite compiled with GCC 9.0.0 and configured with the
--enable-asan and --enable-ubsan arguments. This should be addressed in one of
the following 1.55.x releases.
- Closed bugs and merge requests:
* GDBus proxy overrides should support Gio.DBusProxy.call_with_unix_fd_list()

Version 1.52.5
--------------
- This was a release consisting only of backports from the GNOME 3.30 branch to
the GNOME 3.28 branch.
- This release includes the "Big Hammer" patch from GNOME 3.30 to reduce memory
usage. For more information, read the blog post at
https://feaneron.com/2018/04/20/the-infamous-gnome-shell-memory-leak/
It was not originally intended to be backported to GNOME 3.28, but in practice
several Linux distributions already backported it, and it has been working
well to reduce memory usage, and the bugs have been ironed out of it.
It does decrease performance somewhat, so if you don't want that then don't
install this update.

arrays returned from GObject-introspected functions is now restored. If you
use the functionality, a warning will be logged asking you to upgrade your
code.
- Closed bugs and merge requests:
* byteArray: Add compatibility toString property [Philip Chimento, !227]
Version 1.53.92
---------------
- Technology preview of a GNOME 3.32 feature: native Promises for GIO-style
asynchronous operations. This is the result of Avi Zajac's summer internship.
To use it, you can opt in once for each specific asynchronous method, by
including code such as the following:
Gio._promisify(Gio.InputStream.prototype, 'read_bytes_async',
'read_bytes_finish');
After executing this, you will be able to use native Promises with the
Gio.InputStream.prototype.read_async() method, simply by not passing a
callback to it:
try {
let bytes = await stream.read_bytes_async(count, priority, cancel);
} catch (e) {
logError(e, 'Failed to read bytes');
}
Note that any "success" boolean return values are deleted from the array of
return values from the async method. That is,
let [contents, etag] = file.load_contents_async(cancel);
whereas the callback version still returns a useless [ok, contents, etag]
that can never be false, since on false an exception would be thrown. In the
callback version, we must keep this for compatibility reasons.
Note that due to a bug in GJS (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/issues/189),
promisifying methods on Gio.File.prototype and other interface prototypes will
not work. We provide the API Gio._LocalFilePrototype on which you can
promisify methods that will work on Gio.File instances on the local disk only:
Gio._promisify(Gio._LocalFilePrototype, 'load_contents_async',
'load_contents_finish');
We estimate this will cover many common use cases.
Since this is a technology preview, we do not guarantee API stability with
the version coming in GNOME 3.32. These APIs are marked with underscores to
emphasize that they are not stable yet. Use them at your own risk.
- Closed bugs and merge requests:
* Added promisify to GJS GIO overrides [!225, Avi Zajac]

* Fix --enable-installed-tests when built from a tarball [!224, Simon
McVittie]
Version 1.53.90
---------------
- GJS now depends on SpiderMonkey 60 and requires a compiler capable of C++14.
- GJS includes a simple debugger now. It has basic stepping, breaking, and
printing commands, that work like GDB. Activate it by running the GJS console
interpreter with the -d or --debugger flag before the name of the JS program
on the command line.
- New API for programs that embed GJS: gjs_context_setup_debugger_console().
To integrate the debugger into programs that embed the GJS interpreter, call
this before executing the JS program.
- New JavaScript features! This version of GJS is based on SpiderMonkey 60, an
upgrade from the previous ESR (Extended Support Release) of SpiderMonkey 52.
Here are the highlights of the new JavaScript features.
For more information, look them up on MDN or devdocs.io.
* New syntax
+ `for await (... of ...)` syntax is used for async iteration.
+ The rest operator is now supported in object destructuring: e.g.
`({a, b, ...cd} = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, d: 4});`
+ The spread operator is now supported in object literals: e.g.
`mergedObject = {...obj1, ...obj2};`
+ Generator methods can now be async, using the `async function*` syntax,
or `async* f() {...}` method shorthand.
+ It's now allowed to omit the variable binding from a catch statement, if
you don't need to access the thrown exception: `try {...} catch {}`
* New APIs
+ Promise.prototype.finally(), popular in many third-party Promise
libraries, is now available natively.
+ String.prototype.toLocaleLowerCase() and
String.prototype.toLocaleUpperCase() now take an optional locale or
array of locales.
+ Intl.PluralRules is now available.
+ Intl.NumberFormat.protoype.formatToParts() is now available.
+ Intl.Collator now has a caseFirst option.
+ Intl.DateTimeFormat now has an hourCycle option.
* New behaviour
+ There are a lot of minor behaviour changes as SpiderMonkey's JS
implementation conforms ever closer to ECMAScript standards. For complete
information, read the Firefox developer release notes:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/53#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/54#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/55#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/56#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/57#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/58#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/59#JavaScripthttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/60#JavaScript
* Backwards-incompatible changes
+ Conditional catch clauses have been removed, as they were a Mozilla
extension which will not be standardized. This requires some attention in
GJS programs, as previously we condoned code like `catch (e if
e.matches(Gio.IOError, Gio.IOError.EXISTS))` with a comment in
overrides/GLib.js, so it's likely this is used in several places.
+ The nonstandard `for each (... in ...)` loop was removed.
+ The nonstandard legacy lambda syntax (`function(x) x*x`) was removed.
+ The nonstandard Mozilla iteration protocol was removed, as well as
nonstandard Mozilla generators, including the Iterator and StopIteration
objects, and the Function.prototype.isGenerator() method.
+ Array comprehensions and generator comprehensions have been removed.
+ Several nonstandard methods were removed: ArrayBuffer.slice() (but not
the standard version, ArrayBuffer.prototype.slice()),
Date.prototype.toLocaleFormat(), Function.prototype.isGenerator(),
Object.prototype.watch(), and Object.prototype.unwatch().
- Many of the above backwards-incompatible changes can be caught by scanning
your source code using https://gitlab.gnome.org/ptomato/moz60tool, or
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1455/spidermonkey-60-migration-validator/
- Deprecation: the custom ByteArray is now discouraged. Instead of ByteArray,
use Javascript's native Uint8Array. The ByteArray module still contains
functions for converting between byte arrays, strings, and GLib.Bytes
instances.
The old ByteArray will continue to work as before, except that Uint8Array
will now be returned from introspected functions that previously returned a
ByteArray. To keep your old code working, change this:
let byteArray = functionThatReturnsByteArray();
to this:
let byteArray = new ByteArray.ByteArray(functionThatReturnsByteArray());
To port to the new code:
* ByteArray.ByteArray -> Uint8Array
* ByteArray.fromArray() -> Uint8Array.from()
* ByteArray.ByteArray.prototype.toString() -> ByteArray.toString()
* ByteArray.ByteArray.prototype.toGBytes() -> ByteArray.toGBytes()
* ByteArray.fromString(), ByteArray.fromGBytes() remain the same
* Unlike ByteArray, Uint8Array's length is fixed. Assigning an element past
the end of a ByteArray would lengthen the array. Now, it is ignored.
Instead use Uint8Array.of(), for example, this code:
let a = ByteArray.fromArray([97, 98, 99, 100]);
a[4] = 101;
should be replaced by this code:
let a = Uint8Array.from([97, 98, 99, 100]);
a = Uint8Array.of(...a, 101);
The length of the byte array must be set at creation time. This code will
not work anymore:
let a = new ByteArray.ByteArray();
a[0] = 255;
Instead, use "new Uint8Array(1)" to reserve the correct length.

Changelog extracted from https://nim-lang.org/blog/2020/10/16/version-140-released.html
Standard library additions and changes
Added some enhancements to std/jsonutils module.
Added a possibility to deserialize JSON arrays directly to
HashSet and OrderedSet types and respectively to serialize
those types to JSON arrays via jsonutils.fromJson and
jsonutils.toJson procedures.
Added a possibility to deserialize JSON null objects to Nim
option objects and respectively to serialize Nim option object
to JSON object if isSome or to JSON null object if isNone via
jsonutils.fromJson and jsonutils.toJson procedures.
Added a Joptions parameter to jsonutils.fromJson currently
containing two boolean options allowExtraKeys and
allowMissingKeys.
If allowExtraKeys is true Nim’s object to which the JSON
is parsed is not required to have a field for every JSON
key.
If allowMissingKeys is true Nim’s object to which JSON is
parsed is allowed to have fields without corresponding
JSON keys.
Added bindParams, bindParam to db_sqlite for binding parameters
into a SqlPrepared statement.
Added tryInsert,insert procs to db_* libs which accept primary key
column name.
Added xmltree.newVerbatimText support create style’s,script’s
text.
uri module now implements RFC-2397.
Added DOM Parser to the dom module for the JavaScript target.
The default hash for Ordinal has changed to something more
bit-scrambling. import hashes; proc hash(x: myInt): Hash =
hashIdentity(x) recovers the old one in an instantiation context
while -d:nimIntHash1 recovers it globally.
deques.peekFirst and deques.peekLast now have var Deque[T] -> var T
overloads.
File handles created from high-level abstractions in the stdlib
will no longer be inherited by child processes. In particular,
these modules are affected: asyncdispatch, asyncnet, system,
nativesockets, net and selectors.
For asyncdispatch, asyncnet, net and nativesockets, an inheritable
flag has been added to all procs that create sockets, allowing the
user to control whether the resulting socket is inheritable. This
flag is provided to ease the writing of multi-process servers,
where sockets inheritance is desired.
For a transition period, define nimInheritHandles to enable file
handle inheritance by default. This flag does not affect the
selectors module due to the differing semantics between operating
systems.
asyncdispatch.setInheritable, system.setInheritable and nativesockets.setInheritable are also introduced for setting file handle or socket inheritance. Not all platforms have these procs defined.
The file descriptors created for internal bookkeeping by
ioselector_kqueue and ioselector_epoll will no longer be leaked to
child processes.
strutils.formatFloat with precision = 0 has been restored to the
version 1 behaviour that produces a trailing dot,
e.g. formatFloat(3.14159, precision = 0) is now 3., not 3.
Added commonPrefixLen to critbits.
relativePath(rel, abs) and relativePath(abs, rel) used to silently
give wrong results (see #13222); instead they now use
getCurrentDir to resolve those cases, and this can now throw in
edge cases where getCurrentDir throws. relativePath also now works
for js with -d:nodejs.
JavaScript and NimScript standard library changes:
streams.StringStream is now supported in JavaScript, with the
limitation that any buffer pointers used must be castable to ptr
string, any incompatible pointer type will not work. The lexbase
and streams modules used to fail to compile on NimScript due to a
bug, but this has been fixed.
The following modules now compile on both JS and NimScript:
parsecsv, parsecfg, parsesql, xmlparser, htmlparser and
ropes. Additionally supported for JS is cstrutils.startsWith and
cstrutils.endsWith, for NimScript: json, parsejson, strtabs and
unidecode.
Added streams.readStr and streams.peekStr overloads to accept an
existing string to modify, which avoids memory allocations,
similar to streams.readLine (#13857).
Added high-level asyncnet.sendTo and asyncnet.recvFrom UDP functionality.
dollars.$ now works for unsigned ints with nim js.
Improvements to the bitops module, including bitslices,
non-mutating versions of the original masking functions,
mask/masked, and varargs support for bitand, bitor, and bitxor.
sugar.=> and sugar.-> changes: Previously (x, y: int) was
transformed into (x: auto, y: int), it now becomes (x: int, y:
int) for consistency with regular proc definitions (although you
cannot use semicolons).
Pragmas and using a name are now allowed on the lefthand side of =>.
Here is an example of these changes:
import sugar
foo(x, y: int) {.noSideEffect.} => x + y
# is transformed into
proc foo(x: int, y: int): auto {.noSideEffect.} = x + y
The fields of times.DateTime are now private, and are accessed
with getters and deprecated setters.
The times module now handles the default value for DateTime more
consistently. Most procs raise an assertion error when given an
uninitialized DateTime, the exceptions are == and $ (which returns
"Uninitialized DateTime"). The proc times.isInitialized has been
added which can be used to check if a DateTime has been
initialized.
Fix a bug where calling close on io streams in osproc.startProcess was a noop and led to hangs if a process had both reads from stdin and writes (e.g. to stdout).
The callback that is passed to system.onThreadDestruction must now be .raises: [].
The callback that is assigned to system.onUnhandledException must now be .gcsafe.
osproc.execCmdEx now takes an optional input for stdin, workingDir and env parameters.
Added a ssl_config module containing lists of secure ciphers as recommended by Mozilla OpSec
net.newContext now defaults to the list of ciphers targeting “Intermediate compatibility” per Mozilla’s recommendation instead of ALL. This change should protect users from the use of weak and insecure ciphers while still provides adequate compatibility with the majority of the Internet.
A new module std/jsonutils with hookable jsonTo,toJson,fromJson operations for json serialization/deserialization of custom types was added.
A new proc heapqueue.find[T](heap: HeapQueue[T], x: T): int to get index of element x was added.
Added rstgen.rstToLatex a convenience proc for renderRstToOut and initRstGenerator.
Added os.normalizeExe.
macros.newLit now preserves named vs unnamed tuples.
Added random.gauss, that uses the ratio of uniforms method of sampling from a Gaussian distribution.
Added typetraits.elementType to get the element type of an iterable.
typetraits.$ changes: $(int,) is now "(int,)" instead of "(int)"; $tuple[] is now "tuple[]" instead of "tuple"; $((int, float), int) is now "((int, float), int)" instead of "(tuple of (int, float), int)"
Added macros.extractDocCommentsAndRunnables helper.
strformat.fmt and strformat.& support specifier =. fmt"{expr=}" now expands to fmt"expr={expr}".
Deprecations: instead of os.existsDir use dirExists, instead of os.existsFile use fileExists.
Added the jsre module, Regular Expressions for the JavaScript target..
Made maxLines argument Positive in logging.newRollingFileLogger, because negative values will result in a new file being created for each logged line which doesn’t make sense.
Changed log in logging to use proper log level for JavaScript, e.g. debug uses console.debug, info uses console.info, warn uses console.warn, etc.
Tables, HashSets, SharedTables and deques don’t require anymore that the passed initial size must be a power of two - this is done internally. Proc rightSize for Tables and HashSets is deprecated, as it is not needed anymore. CountTable.inc takes val: int again not val: Positive; i.e. it can “count down” again.
Removed deprecated symbols from macros module, some of which were deprecated already in 0.15.
Removed sugar.distinctBase, deprecated since 0.19. Use typetraits.distinctBase.
asyncdispatch.PDispatcher.handles is exported so that an external low-level libraries can access it.
std/with, sugar.dup now support object field assignment expressions:
import std/with
type Foo = object
x, y: int
var foo = Foo()
with foo:
x = 10
y = 20
echo foo
Proc math.round is no longer deprecated. The advice to use strformat instead cannot be applied to every use case. The limitations and the (lack of) reliability of round are well documented.
Added getprotobyname to winlean. Added getProtoByname to nativesockets which returns a protocol code from the database that matches the protocol name.
Added missing attributes and methods to dom.Navigator like deviceMemory, onLine, vibrate(), etc.
Added strutils.indentation and strutils.dedent which enable indented string literals:
import strutils
echo dedent """
This
is
cool!
"""
Added initUri(isIpv6: bool) to uri module, now uri supports parsing ipv6 hostname.
Added readLines(p: Process) to osproc.
Added the below toX procs for collections. The usage is similar to procs such as sets.toHashSet and tables.toTable. Previously, it was necessary to create the respective empty collection and add items manually.
critbits.toCritBitTree, which creates a CritBitTree from an openArray of items or an openArray of pairs.
deques.toDeque, which creates a Deque from an openArray.
heapqueue.toHeapQueue, which creates a HeapQueue from an openArray.
intsets.toIntSet, which creates an IntSet from an openArray.
Added progressInterval argument to asyncftpclient.newAsyncFtpClient to control the interval at which progress callbacks are called.
Added os.copyFileToDir.
Language changes
The =destroy hook no longer has to reset its target, as the compiler now automatically inserts wasMoved calls where needed.
The = hook is now called =copy for clarity. The old name = is still available so there is no need to update your code. This change was backported to 1.2 too so you can use the more readable =copy without loss of compatibility.
In the newruntime it is now allowed to assign to the discriminator field without restrictions as long as the case object doesn’t have a custom destructor. The discriminator value doesn’t have to be a constant either. If you have a custom destructor for a case object and you do want to freely assign discriminator fields, it is recommended to refactor the object into 2 objects like this:
type
MyObj = object
case kind: bool
of true: y: ptr UncheckedArray[float]
of false: z: seq[int]
proc `=destroy`(x: MyObj) =
if x.kind and x.y != nil:
deallocShared(x.y)
Refactor into:
type
MySubObj = object
val: ptr UncheckedArray[float]
MyObj = object
case kind: bool
of true: y: MySubObj
of false: z: seq[int]
proc `=destroy`(x: MySubObj) =
if x.val != nil:
deallocShared(x.val)
getImpl on enum type symbols now returns field syms instead of idents. This helps with writing typed macros. The old behavior for backwards compatibility can be restored with --useVersion:1.0.
The typed AST for proc headers will now have the arguments be syms instead of idents. This helps with writing typed macros. The old behaviour for backwards compatibility can be restored with --useVersion:1.0.
let statements can now be used without a value if declared with importc/importcpp/importjs/importobjc.
The keyword from is now usable as an operator.
Exceptions inheriting from system.Defect are no longer tracked with the .raises: [] exception tracking mechanism. This is more consistent with the built-in operations. The following always used to compile (and still does):
proc mydiv(a, b): int {.raises: [].} =
a div b # can raise an DivByZeroDefect
Now also this compiles:
proc mydiv(a, b): int {.raises: [].} =
if b == 0: raise newException(DivByZeroDefect, "division by zero")
else: result = a div b
The reason for this is that DivByZeroDefect inherits from Defect and with --panics:on Defects become unrecoverable errors.
Added the thiscall calling convention as specified by Microsoft, mostly for hooking purposes.
Deprecated the {.unroll.} pragma, because it was always ignored by the compiler anyway.
Removed the deprecated strutils.isNilOrWhitespace.
Removed the deprecated sharedtables.initSharedTable.
Removed the deprecated asyncdispatch.newAsyncNativeSocket.
Removed the deprecated dom.releaseEvents and dom.captureEvents.
Removed sharedlists.initSharedList, was deprecated and produces undefined behaviour.
There is a new experimental feature called “strictFuncs” which makes the definition of .noSideEffect stricter. See here for more information.
“for-loop macros” (see the manual) are no longer an experimental feature. In other words, you don’t have to write pragma {.experimental: "forLoopMacros".} if you want to use them.
Added the .noalias pragma. It is mapped to C’s restrict keyword for the increased performance this keyword can enable.
items no longer compiles with enums with holes as its behavior was error prone, see #14004.
system.deepcopy has to be enabled explicitly for --gc:arc and --gc:orc via --deepcopy:on.
Added the std/effecttraits module for introspection of the inferred effects. We hope this enables async macros that are precise about the possible exceptions that can be raised.
The pragma blocks {.gcsafe.}: ... and {.noSideEffect.}: ... can now also be written as {.cast(gcsafe).}: ... and {.cast(noSideEffect).}: .... This is the new preferred way of writing these, emphasizing their unsafe nature.
Compiler changes
Specific warnings can now be turned into errors via --warningAsError[X]:on|off.
The define and undef pragmas have been de-deprecated.
New command: nim r main.nim [args...] which compiles and runs main.nim, and implies --usenimcache so that the output is saved to $nimcache/main$exeExt, using the same logic as nim c -r to avoid recompilations when sources don’t change. Example:
nim r compiler/nim.nim --help # only compiled the first time
echo 'import os; echo getCurrentCompilerExe()' | nim r - # this works too
nim r compiler/nim.nim --fullhelp # no recompilation
nim r --nimcache:/tmp main # binary saved to /tmp/main
--hint:processing is now supported and means --hint:processing:on (likewise with other hints and warnings), which is consistent with all other bool flags. (since 1.3.3).
nim doc -r main and nim rst2html -r main now call openDefaultBrowser.
Added the new hint --hint:msgOrigin will show where a compiler msg (hint|warning|error) was generated; this helps in particular when it’s non obvious where it came from either because multiple locations generate the same message, or because the message involves runtime formatting.
Added the new flag --backend:js|c|cpp|objc (or -b:js etc), to change the backend; can be used with any command (e.g. nim r, doc, check etc); safe to re-assign.
Added the new flag --doccmd:cmd to pass additional flags for runnableExamples, e.g.: --doccmd:-d:foo --threads use --doccmd:skip to skip runnableExamples and rst test snippets.
Added the new flag --usenimcache to output binary files to nimcache.
runnableExamples "-b:cpp -r:off": code is now supported, allowing to override how an example is compiled and run, for example to change the backend.
nim doc now outputs under $projectPath/htmldocs when --outdir is unspecified (with or without --project); passing --project now automatically generates an index and enables search. See docgen for details.
Removed the --oldNewlines switch.
Removed the --laxStrings switch for mutating the internal zero terminator on strings.
Removed the --oldast switch.
Removed the --oldgensym switch.
$getType(untyped) is now “untyped” instead of “expr”, $getType(typed) is now “typed” instead of “stmt”.
Sink inference is now disabled per default and has to enabled explicitly via --sinkInference:on. Note: For the standard library sink inference remains enabled. This change is most relevant for the --gc:arc, --gc:orc memory management modes.
Tool changes
nimsuggest now returns both the forward declaration and the implementation location upon a def query. Previously the behavior was to return the forward declaration only.

It seems to be a generally useful feature. If a package supports
optional cargo dependencies then you may now (instead of messing with
CARGO_ARGS directly) set in your Makefile for example:
CARGO_NO_DEFAULT_FEATURES= YES
CARGO_FEATURES+= dbus pulseaudio
"Over the last releases, the Elixir team has been focusing on the compiler, both in terms of catching more mistakes at compilation time and making it faster. Elixir v1.11 has made excellent progress on both fronts. This release also includes many other goodies, such as tighter Erlang integration, support for more guard expressions, built-in datetime formatting, and other calendar enhancements."

Install the new interchangeable BLAS system created by Thomas Orgis,
currently supporting Netlib BLAS/LAPACK, OpenBLAS, cblas, lapacke, and
Apple's Accelerate.framework. This system allows the user to select any
BLAS implementation without modifying packages or using package options, by
setting PKGSRC_BLAS_TYPES in mk.conf. See mk/blas.buildlink3.mk for details.
This commit should not alter behavior of existing packages as the system
defaults to Netlib BLAS/LAPACK, which until now has been the only supported
implementation.
Details:
Add new mk/blas.buildlink3.mk for inclusion in dependent packages
Install compatible Netlib math/blas and math/lapack packages
Update math/blas and math/lapack MAINTAINER approved by adam@
OpenBLAS, cblas, and lapacke will follow in separate commits
Update direct dependents to use mk/blas.buildlink3.mk

Ruby 2.7.2 Released
Posted by nagachika on 2 Oct 2020
Ruby 2.7.2 has been released.
This release contains intentional incompatibility. The deprecated warnings
are off by default on 2.7.2 and later. You can turn on the deprecated
warnings by specifing command line option -w or -W:deprecated. Please check
the topics below for details.
* Feature #17000 2.7.2 turns off deprecation warnings by default
* Feature #16345 Don¡Çt emit deprecation warnings by default.
This release contains the new version of webrick with a security fix
described in the article.
* CVE-2020-25613: Potential HTTP Request Smuggling Vulnerability in WEBrick
## 1.12.2 - 2020-09-20
- Add janet\_try and janet\_restore to C API.
- Fix `os/execute` regression on windows.
- Add :pipe option to `os/spawn`.
- Fix docstring typos.
## 1.12.1 - 2020-09-07
- Make `zero?`, `one?`, `pos?`, and `neg?` polymorphic.
- Add C++ support to jpm and improve C++ interop in janet.h.
- Add `%t` formatter to `printf`, `string/format`, and other formatter functions.
- Expose `janet_cfuns_prefix` in C API.
- Add `os/proc-wait` and `os/proc-kill` for interacting with processes.
- Add `janet_getjfile` to C API.
- Allow redirection of stdin, stdout, and stderr by passing keywords in the env table in `os/spawn` and `os/execute`.
- Add `os/spawn` to get a core/process back instead of an exit code as in `os/execute`.
When called like this, `os/execute` returns immediately.
- Add `:x` flag to os/execute to raise error when exit code is non-zero.
- Don't run `main` when flychecking.
- Add `:n` flag to `file/open` to raise an error if file cannot be opened.
- Fix import macro to not try and coerce everything to a string.
- Allow passing a second argument to `disasm`.
- Add `cancel`. Resumes a fiber but makes it immediately error at the yield point.
- Allow multi-line paste into built in repl.
- Add `(curenv)`.
- Change `net/read`, `net/chunk`, and `net/write` to raise errors in the case of failures.
- Add `janet_continue_signal` to C API. This indirectly enables C functions that yield to the event loop
to raise errors or other signals.
- Update meson build script to fix bug on Debian's version of meson
- Add `xprint`, `xprin`, `xprintf`, and `xprinf`.
- `net/write` now raises an error message if write fails.
- Fix issue with SIGPIPE on macOS and BSDs.
One of the two patches fixing the build on NetBSD was wrong; I had modified it
to build again but it turns out it was not necessary at all in the first place.
I just confirmed it on netbsd-9/amd64.
Bumps PKGREVISION for safety, since it built again after modifying the original
patch.

Mono 6.10.0 Release Notes
Release date: 19 May 2020
Highlights
Various bugfixes
In Depth
Runtime
WebAssembly
We continue to work on making our WebAssembly support better. Various sets of issues have been resolved in this release and general performance and feature work is happening as well.
Community improvements for AIX/PASE and Haiku
The ports for these systems received a bunch of improvements from community contributor Calvin Buckley (@NattyNarwhal).
Class Libraries
CoreFX integration
We continued to replace some of our classes with the implementation from CoreFX to improve performance and compatibility with .NET.

On NetBSD, further limit the DEPENDS on openssl to i386. It turns out
that the sparc64 and powerpc bootstraps are not linked against openssl
as I previously assumed.
No change to limiting this DEPENDS to 9+. No change to any other OS.
This change is believed to fix rust building on NetBSD 9 sparc64.
As discussed on tech-pkg@.

For background, the bootstrap kits need pkgsrc openssl present to run.
Then, the built cargo links against libs from pkgsrc openssl. One
would expect USE_BUILTIN.openssl=no to cause the later bl3 to depend
on pkgsrc openssl, and it does, but then there is a mysterious error
about not being able to buildlink heimdal.
This commit, relative to how 1.192, modifies comments and adds a
straight DEPENDS:
DEPENDS+= openssl>=1.1:../../security/openssl
only in the case of NetBSD, >=9, i386/sparc64/powerpc.
More or less as proposed on tech-pkg, with no responses.
On NetBSD i386 (and sparc64 and powerpc), we have bootstrap kits that
are linked against pkgsrc openssl. Previously rust BUILD_DEPENDed on
openssl so they could run but this resulted in an installed cargo that
linked against that openssl. This changes the depend method to
straight bl3, so openssl will be a runtime dependency.
This continues to be icky, but after a long period of discussion on
the lists, no other this-branch fixes to make NetBSD 9/i386 be able to
build rust have been suggested, and further there no objections.
It is expected that the bootstrap process will be rototilled after
2020Q3 is cut; this situation is obviously not a good one to continue.
On NetBSD >8, for several CPU types we depend on compat80, because
bootstrap kits are build for NetBSD 8. On those, also add a
BUILD_DEPENDS on openssl, because the bootstrap kits need pkgsrc
openssl libs.
Adjust and reorganize comments (but the only functional change is the
NetBSD >8 openssl BUILD_DEPENDS).>
Resolves failure to build on NetBSD 9.
(The entire "NetBSD>8" section is a hack that can be removed with
improved bootstrap generation.)
