systems, but the code that take care of them is inly implemented
on Linux. This made the build go into an infinite loop on NetBSD.
Disable floating point exceptions on NetBSD/amd64 for now, until
I get around implementing and testing the necessary sigaction glue.
Gwydion Dylan 2.4.0 (2004-10-23)
Because the bulk of our recent development effort has been put into
the 2.5 development branch, work on this branch has focused on
stabilization in the form of bug and compatibility fixes. Changes
include improvements in the robustness of the melange tool, and an
update of the Macintosh CodeWarrior plugin.
been updated in more than two years.)
- Add a buildlink3.mk file.
- Make the Java dependency optional, and disable this option by default (this
will make erlang build in more bulk builds).
Ok by wiz.
library searches to start in the system directories instead of in the
pkgsrc-controlled directories. This change is in the same spirit as
the one that caused the PKGREVISION bump to 6, but is more likely to
work on IRIX where plibpth needs to be set from the Configure script.
This time, we patch the Configure script instead of setting libpth in
the hints file because we depend on the values of variables which are
defined after the hints file is sourced by the Configure script.

applications much sooner. We do this by making every hints file create
a usethreads.cbu script that prepends the correct LDFLAGS to the
ldflags and lddlflags Perl variables. This should fix PR pkg/31091,
which detailed a problem with building threaded perl on a platform
withat native pthreads that used GNU Pth as its pthread library.
While we're here, also fix some minor variable quoting issues.
Bump the PKGREVISION to 6.
perl suffers from an integer wrap overflow inside the explicit
parameter format string functionality. This has been confirmed to
be a vector for remote code execution.
Bump PKGREVISION to 5.
Change most pkgs to depend on either
emulators/suse_linux/Makefile.application (normal pkgs) or
Makefile.common (suse91 and suse themselves) to filter out Operating
Systems without Linux ABI support. Use CPU masks to limit the pkg to
supported platforms.
From this release we don't use external Boehm GC library because
gauche needs GC to be built with special compilation options.
New features in 0.8.6:
* New modules:
+ dbi: Database independent access layer, providing unified
access to various relational databases. You need separate
"driver" packages to access the actual RDBMS. There are a
few driver packages available at
http://www.kahua.org/cgi-bin/kahua.fcgi/kahua-web/show/dev/DBI/.
Note: If you have been using the separate dbi module, make
sure you remove it before using the new dbi and dbd
modules. You can find the old dbi.scm under somewhere like
/usr/local/share/gauche/site/lib (the actualy directory
depends on the configuration when you've installed the dbi
module).
+ util.relation: A framework to work with relations (as defined
by Codd). The result of database access via dbi is represened as
a relation.
+ text.sql: SQL parser/constructor. Full features are not
implemented yet, but used in dbi module for prepared queries.
* New SRFIs:
+ SRFI-40 (Library of streams) as util.stream.
+ SRFI-43 (vector library) as srfi-43.
+ SRFI-45 (Primitives for Expressing Iterative Lazy
Algorithms) : built-in.
* New built-in proceduers global-variable-bound? and
glboal-variable-ref. The former supersedes symbol-bound? (
symbol-bound? is now deprecated and will go away in the future
releases. Code that uses symbol-bound? should change it to
global-variable-bound?. ). The latter removes some need of using
eval just to peek the value of the global variable.
* New regexp procedures: regexp-replace*, regexp-replace-all*,
regexp-case-fold?.
* Stack overflow handling is largely improved. You can see better
performance if your script frequently oveflows the stack.
0.8.5 was a maintainance release.
0.8.4:
Gauche 0.8.4:
The compiler and VM have been rewritten. Now Gauche runs faster with
less memory (as fast as 1.9x, or cosumes 0.7x memory, in best cases of
our tests. But your mileage may vary.) The compiler now does simple
closure optimization, so the typical loop-by-local-closure style code
will get the advantage. On the other hand, you won't see much gain in
OO-heavy or library-heavy programs.
Other changes:
* New features:
+ srfi-42 (Eager comprehension) is supported.
+ srfi-55 (require-extension) is supported.
+ A simple sampling profiler is implemented to help tuning
programs. Check out "Profiling and tuning" section of the
reference manual. The profiler may not be available on all
platforms.
+ We provide an experimenal Windows/MinGW binary package for
the convenience. See download page.
