newLISP is a Lisp-like, general-purpose scripting language. It is
especially well-suited for applications in AI, web search, natural
language processing, and machine learning. Because of its small
resource requirements, newLISP is also excellent for embedded
systems applications. Most of the functions you will ever need are
already built in. This includes networking functions, support for
distributed and parallel processing, and Bayesian statistics.
The development of Algol played an important role in establishing
computer science as an academic discipline. The Algol 68 Genie
project preserves Algol 68 out of educational as well as
scientific-historical interest, by making available Algol 68 Genie;
a recent, well-featured implementation written from scratch. Algol
68 Genie is a practically full implementation of the language
defined by the Revised Report. The implementation is a hybrid
compiler-interpreter; units with considerable interpreter-overhead
can optionally be compiled.
Thanks for your work, Olaf Seibert.
assembler to adapt them to the distance. m68k gas appears not to do
that for fpu branch insns, resulting in an out-of-range FPU assembler
branch instruction error in "ext/re/re_exec.c".
As a workaround, building with "-Os" instead of "-O2" reduces the size
of the object file enough to allow short branches.

This changeset addresses several things:
1) Adds support for x86-Solaris (Namely OpenIndiana)
2) Properly implements run-time symbolic traceback support
3) Arranges makefile so patches can be handled in a standard fashion
4) Properly implements MAKE_JOBS which reduces build times by 66%+ on
the quad-core test machine (30 minutes down to < 10 minutes)
the linkage of the package and gives me a non-broken liblua.so on
current. The one I had around from sometime last year had broken
compatibility references in it.
awkwardly, leading to Python 2.6 failing to build.
Python 2.7 builds ok, because it has been taught to deal with this.
This patch retro-fits the 2.7 code into 2.6, and allows 2.6 to build on
Ubuntu 11.04.

Brief summary of Gauche 0.9.2:
[New Features]
* Case mapping and character properties are fully supported,
compatible to R6RS and R7RS draft (both based on Unicode
standard). Character-wise case mapping (char-upcase etc.) and
property queries (char-alphabetic?, char-general-category,
etc.) are built-in. Context-aware string case mapping
(string-upcase etc.) is provided in the new text.unicode
module. (Note: srfi-13's string-upcase etc. are unchanged;
they are defined to use simple case mappings.) The text.unicode
module also provides conversion between utf-8/utf-16 and
Unicode codepoints.
* Windows binary distribution is now in MS installer (*.msi)
format, created with WiX. It's safer than the previous *.exe
format created by NSIS, which had a bug that smashes PATH
settings when it is too long.
* A convenient wrapper for atomic execution is added in
gauche.threads. See this intro post.
* Benchmarking utilities resembles to Perl's Benchmark module is
now available in gauche.time. See this post for an
introduction.
* with-lock-file: A long-awaited feature to use lock files
conveniently. It is in file.util module.
* Added full support of srfi-60, integer bitwise operations.
* gauche.cgen: Some API that Gauche uses to generate C code
become public. See the manual for the details.
[Incompatibile Changes]
* control.thread-pool: add-job! now takes timeout argument. If it
is omitted and the job queue is full, add-job! blocks. It is a
change from 0.9.1, in which add-job! returns immediately in
such case. To get the same behavior, pass 0 explicitly to the
timeout argument. The argument order of wait-all is also
changed to take timeout optional argument first. In 0.9.1 it
never timeouts.
* If --enable-multibyte flag is given to ./configure without
explicit encoding, we now assume utf-8. It used to be
euc-jp. This is for the consistency. We don't think this change
affects many, for the document has always been told to give
explicit encoding name for this option.
* The --enable-ipv6 configure option is turned on by default. It
shouldn't cause problems on modern OSes. If you ever get a compile
error in gauche.net module on a platform that lacks modern API,
specify --disable-ipv6 option to ./configure.
* (This is an internal change of undocumented feature. We mention
it just in case if some extension packages depend on this.) In
the initialization code generated by genstub or precomp, it
used to be possible to refer to the current module by mod. Now
you should use Scm_CurrentModule() instead. Also,
gauche.cgen.unit now doesn't include <gauche.h> automatically.
[Improvements]
* The compiler is improved to avoid creating a closure at
execution time when it doesn't close local environment. For
example, (map (^x (* x x)) lis) doesn't create a closure;
instead, the internal lambda is compiled as if it is a
toplevel-defined procedure. (Yeah, it's a simple lambda
lifting. We didn't do it since it could slow down the
compiler. Now the compiler is efficient enough to handle it.)
* Supports zero or multi-argument unquote/unquote-splicing, as
defined in R6RS.
* sys-exec and sys-fork-and-exec now supports :detached keyword
argument to make the child process detached from the parent's
process group.
* Buliltin reverse and reverse! takes optional list-tail
argument.
* A new builtin procedure map* that can deal with dotted list.
* Common Lisp-like ecase macro is added.
* The extended lambda formals (:key, :optional, etc) are now
available in define-method as well.
* New built-in function sys-clearenv, useful to fork subprocess
securely.
* rxmatch-case accepts (else => proc) form, just like case.
* Socket address objects (e.g. <sockaddr-un>) can now be compared
by equal? based on its content. Useful to put them in a
hashtable, for example.
* gauche.uvector: A new procedure uvector-copy! that can copy any
type of uvectors.
* gauche.test: A new test expected result constructor test-one-of
allows to check if the test result matches any one of possible
outcomes.
* control.thread-pool: Now a pool raises <thread-pool-shut-down>
condition if the pool has already be shut down and no longer
accepting new jobs. terminate-all now takes :cancel-queued-jobs
keyword argument to stop the pool immediately, instead of
waiting for all the jobs to be finished. Canceled jobs are
marked as killed . New APIs: thread-pool-results,
thread-pool-shut-down?.
* rfc.json: Allow construct-json to take optional output port for
the consistency.
* rfc.uri: A new procedure uri-merge that can be resolve a
relative uri in regart to a base uri.
* rfc.cookie: Recognize :http-only cookie attribute introduced in
RFC6265.
* Now the tilde `~' expansion of sys-normalize-pathname works on
Windows as well to refer to the current user's home directory;
it tries environment variables heuristically to find it. To
refer to other user's home directory by ~user is still only
available on Unix platforms, though.
* util.combinations: combinations is optimized to handle leaf
cases efficiently.
[Bux fixes]
* Fixed a bug that the number parser hangs when reading
2.2250738585072012e-308.
* Integer multiplication routine had a code that depended on
undefined behavior of C; it worked on gcc but revealed the bug
on clang-llvm.
* Fixed a module bug on the visibility of bindings of extended
modules.
* gauche.parameter: Fixed a couple of bugs on parameter objects.
* Numeric comparison procedures such as < didn't work correctly
when more than four arguments were given. The bug was
introduced by incorrect optimization.
* Fixed bugs in lognot, logand, logior and logxor, which crashed
when non-integer ratinoal numbers are passed.
* port->string, port->string-list: These procedures returned
prematurely when the input contains an illegal byte sequence
for internal encoding. Now they return an incomplete string
instead.
* srfi-1: Some srfi-1 procedures that are built-in were not
exported, causing errors when you wanted to import them
selectively, e.g. (use srfi-1 :only (fold)).
* util.queue: Fixed list->queue to work.
* binary.pack: Fixed a bug that the result may be truncated if
the input contains byte sequences that can be interpreted as
invalid character multibyte sequences.
* srfi-42: Fixed a hygiene bug; the previous versions failed when
only toplevel macros are imported using :only import option.
* rfc.json: Fixed a bug that didn't escape double-quotes in the
string, and didn't handle empty array.
* Coding-aware ports didn't count lines correctly in CR-only or
CRLF line endings.
* Fixed a problem that caused crash after changing metaclasses of
a class metaobject. An additional protection mechanism is in
place in the class metaobject so that it won't be in an
inconsistent state unexpectedly.
* Fixed sys-setenv in which you couldn't omit the overwrite
argument, even if it was described optional.
* Fixed build problem of gauche.net on Solaris.
* Fixed a bug in gauche-package that caused an error when
*load-path* contained a nonexistent path.
* Fixed a bug in string comparison routine that surfaces in a
special architecture.
* The printed output of <time> was incorrect when its value was
negative.
* There was a bug in the reader it reads ().() incorrectly.
* Fixed a bug in format to allow ~* to position after the last
argument.
* Fixed GC compliation problem on OSX Lion.
