This release is a bug-fix release, containing fixes for regressions in
GCC 4.4.4 relative to previous releases of GCC.
Impetus to upgrade from Matthias Rampke.
Pkgsrc changes:
o Changed package name to not include upstream version number (ouch!)
Upstream changes:
o Lots of fixes; list of changes not easily available.
o The main supported architectures are i386 and amd64; other targets
have "less functionality".
Please help in testing this; report bugs via http://pcc.ludd.ltu.se/jira.
Python 2.7 is intended to be the last major release in the 2.x series.
The Python maintainers are planning to focus their future efforts on
the Python 3.x series.
This means that 2.7 will remain in place for a long time, running
production systems that have not been ported to Python 3.x.
Two consequences of the long-term significance of 2.7 are:
* It's very likely the 2.7 release will have a longer period of
maintenance compared to earlier 2.x versions. Python 2.7 will
continue to be maintained while the transition to 3.x continues, and
the developers are planning to support Python 2.7 with bug-fix
releases beyond the typical two years.
* A policy decision was made to silence warnings only of interest to
developers. :exc:`DeprecationWarning` and its
descendants are now ignored unless otherwise requested, preventing
users from seeing warnings triggered by an application. This change
was also made in the branch that will become Python 3.2. (Discussed
on stdlib-sig and carried out in :issue:`7319`.)
In previous releases, :exc:`DeprecationWarning` messages were
enabled by default, providing Python developers with a clear
indication of where their code may break in a future major version
of Python.
However, there are increasingly many users of Python-based
applications who are not directly involved in the development of
those applications. :exc:`DeprecationWarning` messages are
irrelevant to such users, making them worry about an application
that's actually working correctly and burdening application developers
with responding to these concerns.
You can re-enable display of :exc:`DeprecationWarning` messages by
running Python with the :option:`-Wdefault <-W>` (short form:
:option:`-Wd <-W>`) switch, or by setting the :envvar:`PYTHONWARNINGS`
environment variable to ``"default"`` (or ``"d"``) before running
Python. Python code can also re-enable them
by calling ``warnings.simplefilter('default')``.

race condition in the case where the given path is a directory,
and some other user can move that directory, and create a
symlink while this method is executing.

Upstream changes:
New in 3.1.0
- Core
+ Exception PMCs are now subclassable from PIR
+ IPv6 is now supported and tested

allow implementation of try .. catch construcs in C extensions.
+ We now have a YAML library called YAML::Tiny, a port of YAML::Tiny
from Perl 5
+ Deprecated/experimental features are now stored in api.yaml in
an easy-to-parse format, which will allow automated tools easy
access to this data. This replaces DEPRECATED.pod, which no
longer exists.
+ Improved GC latency
+ Improved GC performance on low-memory systems
+ Improved packfile annotation lookup complexity
+ Removal of unused code and SVN based code
- NQP
+ A repository for a new NQP version which has a new object model is
created at http://github.com/perl6/nqp
- Languages
+ Cardinal (Ruby on Parrot) now compiles and passes it's test suite on master
and is looking for developers : https://github.com/parrot/cardinal
+ Cardinal can send smoke reports with "rake smoke" or "parrot
setup.pir smoke"
+ Jaspers, an implementation of Javascript on Parrot, now has a Github repo
and is looking for developers: https://github.com/leto/jaspers
- Community
+ The following Parrot Google Code-In students were grand prize winners:
Fernando Brito, Brazil
David Czech, Canada
Nolan Lum, United States
Matt Rajca, United States
Tony Young, New Zealand
Daniel Kang, United States
We are very proud of them for their fine work and congratulate
them for achieving top finalist status! For more info, see:
http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2011/02/google-code-in-grand-prize...
- Documentation
+ Many new Parrot-related terms were added to docs/glossary.pod
+ Removal of most remaining references to SVN
+ Internal project documentation is included in html output
- Tests
+ Test suite now passes on NetBSD 5.1
+ Test coverage increased greatly for the Embed/Extend subsystem,
thanks to a TPF grant:
http://leto.net/dukeleto.pl/2011/01/parrot-embed-grant-update-2.html
Requested by Matthew Mondor, who contributed description of changes.
Since 10.4.1, changes were made in the following areas:
- Better cross-compile support, including with C++ compilers
- FFI from interpreted code now requires libffi
- Compiler now shipped as a single FASL file, cmp.fas
- Various fixes, notably in handling of:
LIST/LIST*, foreign arrays and structures, optimization annotations,
pathnames (logical pathnames and case), RENAME-FILE, READ,
the debugger, ANSI CL function declarations, DECLAIM, DEFMACRO,
EXPT, ASDF, rational math
- Performance optimizations in the following areas:
SETF expansions, AREF/ASET, unboxing, sequence functions, LOOP,
ASSERT, use of long-long and long-double where possible,
reworked compilation policies, EXT:MAKE-FOREIGN-DATA-FROM-ARRAY
- Other new features:
EXT:WITH-BACKEND
See http://ecls.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ecls/ecl/src/CHANGELOG?revision=1.793
for more details, or src/CHANGELOG in the source.
John Marino, originally per PR pkg/44436, slightly updated
for i386/amd64, comes with a bootstrap which doesn't need an Ada compiler
on the pkg build system (fetches a bootstrap binary from MASTER_SITE)
There seems to be some incompatibility with the binutils/libgcc_s
on NetBSD-current, leading to warnings. Not fatal, but should be
investigated.
5.3.5 was released due to a critical issue and the previous suhosin
patch still applies. Prior art of this can be seen in OpenBSD's and
FreeBSD's ports.

Pkgsrc changes:
o Remove local patch which is no longer needed.
o Adapt PLIST to changes in the set of installed files.
Upstream changes:
- Core
+ A new embedding API is available in "parrot/api.h" and documented in
docs/pdd/pdd10_embedding.pod .
+ Packfile PMCs were refactored and can now be used to produce runnable
bytecode.
+ Packfile manipulation code now throws embedder-friendly exceptions rather
than printing error details directly to stderr.
+ Unicode support for file IO, environment variables, program names, and
command-line parameters was improved.
+ An experimental gdb pretty-printers in tools/dev for Parrot STRINGs and
PMCs is now available. (gdb 7.2 or later and Python are required)
+ c2str.pl and pmc2c.pl improvements result in a noticeably faster build.
+ Bugs in our Digest::sha256 library and bit-related dynamic ops were fixed
by GCI student Nolan Lum. Both now work correctly on 32 and 64 bit
systems.
- Languages
+ ;)XD - OMeta for Winxed https://github.com/plobsing/ohm-eta-wink-kzd
- Community
+ tree-optimization by GSoC student Tyler L. Curtis joined the nest and now
lives at http://github.com/parrot/tree-optimization .
+ Plumage now lives at http://github.com/parrot/plumage and is installable.
+ Christmas went as scheduled. The Parrot team does not take credit for
this event.
- Documentation
+ HTML documentation generation has been rewritten and greatly simplified.
+ We have improved documentation in docs/project/git_workflow.pod about
keeping a fork of parrot.git in sync.
+ Translations of our README in various languages are now in the
docs/translation directory, thanks to Google Code-In students.
- Tests
+ A better way to write "todo" tests with Parrot's Test::More was implemented
by GCI student Fernando Brito.
+ Major increases in test coverage of many core PMCs, dynamic PMCs and
dynamic opcodes resulted from GCI and the intrepid students it attracted.
+ Jonathan "Duke" Leto set up Debian Linux x86_64 and sparc32 smokers
in the GCC Compile Farm, which continually submit smoke reports with
a variety of configuration options and compilers. Thanks, GCC!
+ Makefile dependency checking is now automatically tested, resulting in a
more reliable parallel build.
+ Coverage tests were improved for platforms with and without Devel::Cover.
