1. Infrastructure upgrades: Autoconf 2.69, Automake 1.12.6, bison 2.7.
2. `fflush()', `nextfile', and `delete array' are all now part of POSIX.
3. fflush() behavior changed to match BWK awk and for POSIX - now both
fflush() and fflush("") flush all open output redirections.
4. Various minor bug fixes and documentation updates.
QPDF is a command-line program that does structural, content-preserving
transformations on PDF files. It could have been called something
like pdf-to-pdf. It also provides many useful capabilities to
developers of PDF-producing software or for people who just want
to look at the innards of a PDF file to learn more about how they
work.
QPDF is capable of creating linearized (also known as web-optimized)
files and encrypted files. It is also capable of converting PDF
files with object streams (also known as compressed objects) to
files with no compressed objects or to generate object streams from
files that don't have them (or even those that already do). QPDF
also supports a special mode designed to allow you to edit the
content of PDF files in a text editor. For more details, please
see the documentation links below.
QPDF includes support for merging and splitting PDFs through the
ability to copy objects from one PDF file into another and to
manipulate the list of pages in a PDF file. The QPDF library also
makes it possible for you to create PDF files from scratch. In this
mode, you are responsible for supplying all the contents of the
file, while the QPDF library takes care off all the syntactical
representation of the objects, creation of cross references tables
and, if you use them, object streams, encryption, linearization,
and other syntactic details.
QPDF is not a PDF content creation library, a PDF viewer, or a
program capable of converting PDF into other formats. In particular,
QPDF knows nothing about the semantics of PDF content streams. If
you are looking for something that can do that, you should look
elsewhere. However, once you have a valid PDF file, QPDF can be
used to transform that file in ways perhaps your original PDF
creation can't handle. For example, programs generate simple PDF
files but can't password-protect them, web-optimize them, or perform
other transformations of that type.
* xgettext now understands the block comment syntax of Guile 2.0.
* libgettextpo library:
- The initial msgstr of a new message is now "", not NULL.
- Bug fixes in the functions po_message_is_range, po_file_check_all,
po_message_check_all.
* Installation options:
The configure options --with-xz and --with-bzip2 can be used to specify
alternate compression methods for the archive used by the 'autopoint'
program. These options, together with --with-git, allow to trade
dependencies against installed package size. --with-xz has the highest
compression rate, followed by --with-git, followed by --with-bzip2.
* Autoconf macros:
- The autoconf macros installed by 'gettextize' now work with the
forthcoming Automake 1.14 and require Autoconf version 2.60 or
newer.
* Portability:
- Building on MacOS X 10.7, Cygwin 1.7.10, and newer 64-bit mingw is
now supported.
BUGS FIXED
* When reading a C++ number (like mpz_class) in an istream reaches the end
of the stream, the eofbit is now set.
* The result sign of mpz_rootrem's remainder is now always correct.
* The mpz_remove function now handles negative divisors.
* Contains all fixes from release 5.0.5.
SPEEDUPS
* The n-factorial and n-over-k functions have been reimplemented for great
speedups for small and large operands.
* New subquadratic algorithm for the Kronecker/Jacobi/Legendre symbol.
* Major speedup for ARM, in particular ARM Cortex-A9 and A15, thanks to broad
assembly support.
* Significant speedup or POWER6 and POWER7 thanks to improved assembly.
* The performance under M$ Windows' 64-bit ABI has been greatly improved
thanks to complete assembly support.
* Minor speed improvements of many functions and for many platforms.
FEATURES
* Many new CPUs recognised.
* New functions for multi-factorials, and primorial: mpz_2fac_ui,
mpz_mfac_uiui and mpz_primorial_ui.
* The mpz_powm_sec function now uses side-channel silent division for
converting into Montgomery residues.
* The fat binary mechanism is now more robust in its CPU recognition.
MISC
* Inclusion of assembly code is now controlled by the configure options
--enable-assembly and --disable-assembly. The "none" CPU targets is gone.
* In C++, the conversions mpq_class->mpz_class, mpf_class->mpz_class and
mpf_class->mpq_class are now explicit.
* Includes "mini-gmp", a small, portable, but less efficient, implementation
of a subset of GMP's mpn and mpz interfaces. Used in GMP bootstrap, but it
can also be bundled with applications as a fallback when the real GMP
library is unavailable.
* The ABIs under AIX are no longer called aix32 and aix64, but mode64 and 32.
This is more consistent with other powerpc systems.
* The coverage of the testsuite has been improved, using the lcov tool. See
also http://gmplib.org/devel/lcov/.
* It is now possible to compile GMP using a C++ compiler.
* K&R C compilers are no longer supported.
* The BSD MP compatibility functions have been removed.

The libmenu-cache library and its corresponding menu-cached daemon

for freedesktop.org defined application menus. It can be used as
a replacement of libgnome-menu of gnome-menus.
The Tor Project ceased to recommend privoxy years ago; the only way
they recommend browsing the web is through the Tor Browser Bundle,
which Someone^TM ought to find some way to package up.
* An element on GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list that does not name the
real path to a directory (i.e. a symbolic link) could have caused
the GIT_DIR discovery logic to escape the ceiling.
* Command line completion for "tcsh" emitted an unwanted space
after completing a single directory name.
* Command line completion leaked an unnecessary error message while
looking for possible matches with paths in <tree-ish>.
* "git archive" did not record uncompressed size in the header when
streaming a zip archive, which confused some implementations of unzip.
* When users spelled "cc:" in lowercase in the fake "header" in the
trailer part, "git send-email" failed to pick up the addresses from
there. As e-mail headers field names are case insensitive, this
script should follow suit and treat "cc:" and "Cc:" the same way.
based on PR 47495 by Brad Lanam, some small fixes by me.
di is a disk information utility, displaying everything (and more)
that your df command does. It features the ability to display your
disk usage in whatever format you prefer. It also checks the user
and group quotas, so that the user sees the space available for
their use, not the system wide disk space.
