For the Icon source code, this is primarily a maintenance release. The
code has been reworked and simplified to increase portability. An ANSI
C compiler is now required, and UNIX systems are expected to supply a
POSIX (1003.1-1988) library.
Version 9.3.2 adds one new feature:
The files in a directory can be listed by opening the directory as a
file. Subsequent reads return the names of the files contained in the
directory. The names are returned in no particular order, and for UNIX,
the directories "." and ".." are included.
pages that are installed will be gzip-compressed, if MANZ is set, or
not if MANZ is not set. If the package uses bsd-style .mk files, the
variable MANCOMPRESSED_IF_MANZ should be set to a value of "yes" in
the package Makefile. This replaces the previous method of specific
inclusion of bsd.prefs.mk, followed by a check for MANZ and
conditional assignment of MANCOMPRESSED.
Add appropriate documentation, and change all necessary ocurrences in
package Makefiles.
- New, optional Makefile variable HOMEPAGE, specifies a URL for
the home page of the software if it has one.
- The value of HOMEPAGE is used to add a link from the
README.html files.
- pkglint updated to know about it. The "correct" location for
HOMEPAGE in the Makefile is after MAINTAINER, in that same
section.
Modify FreeBSD's ecvt patch, so that it's commented out in FreeBSD,
but still short-circuits in other 4.4-lite derived systems.
Add NetBSD/i386-specific files.
Only tested on NetBSD/i386 (1.2G) so far.
