** GOOPS longer creates layout entries for non-instance slots.
** syntax-case bugs have been fixed
a) Macro expansion is no longer disturbed if the value of
(current-module) changes. This was the cause of a number of
different bugs people have reported.
b) Syntax-case now expands Guile's own macros as a part of the
macro expansion process. Previously, Guile macro calls were
treated as applications.
c) Objects which are constant data and which Guile considers
self-evaluating are no longer quoted.
One good consequence of these fixes is that it's now possible to
use syntax-case macro expansion together with GOOPS code.
** scm_readline now checks that it's using an output (not input) port.
Changes since Guile 1.6.0:
* Changes to the distribution
** Guile now provide and uses an "effective" version number.
** Guile now uses it's own version of libltdl.
** The Emacs interface has been fixed.
** The SRFI C headers are now installed.
* Changes to Scheme functions and syntax
** New function: effective-version
* Changes to the C interface
** New function: scm_effective_version
libguile, which has a reference to __floatdidf, which is part of libgcc
and will only be resolved at program link time.
XXX libtool, of Solaris ld bug ?
* installation fix: (ice-9 and-let*) has been renamed to (ice-9 and-let-star)
* build fix: net_db.c `inet_aton' declaration now properly conditionalized
* bugfix: `expt' now handles negative exponents correctly
* installation fix: some programs are no longer installed
* guile-snarf usage now internalizes output-file creation/deletion
* installation fix: libltdl now "installable" instead of "convenience"
* library versioning now more disciplined
* "make check" now works
* provisional documentation available
* interface summarization available
Summary of changes:
- removal of USE_GTEXINFO
- addition of mk/texinfo.mk
- inclusion of this file in package Makefiles requiring it
- `install-info' substituted by `${INSTALL_INFO}' in PLISTs
- tuning of mk/bsd.pkg.mk:
removal of USE_GTEXINFO
INSTALL_INFO added to PLIST_SUBST
`${INSTALL_INFO}' replace `install-info' in target rules
print-PLIST target now generate `${INSTALL_INFO}' instead of `install-info'
- a couple of new patch files added for a handful of packages
- setting of the TEXINFO_OVERRIDE "switch" in packages Makefiles requiring it
- devel/cssc marked requiring texinfo 4.0
- a couple of packages Makefiles were tuned with respect of INFO_FILES and
makeinfo command usage
See -newly added by this commit- section 10.24 of Packages.txt for
further information.
CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS by the buildlink.mk files so remove the extra
definitions to add them from the package Makefiles. As advised by the
bsd.buildlink.mk file, also ensure that the buildlink.mk files are
included prior to defining any package-specific CFLAGS/LDFLAGS to ensure
that the buildlink directories are at the head of the compiler search
paths.
out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.
** The module (ice-9 getopt-gnu-style) has been removed.
** New module (ice-9 documentation)
** Debugging facilities for guile script are much improved.
** Improvements to garbage collector
** Speed/efficieny improvements.
** Better compliance to standards.
Add a new USE_LIBTOOL definition that uses the libtool package instead of
pkglibtool which is now considered outdated.
USE_PKGLIBTOOL is available for backwards compatibility with old packages
but is deprecated for new packages.
