Version 6.21.4 (17 Jun 03):
* Applied patches from www.inform-fiction.org to the source and library, as
supplied by Dave Griffith <dgriffi@cs.csubak.edu>.
* There's a new Ruins demo game, with more stuff implemented. The previous
Ruins demos have been renamed: ruins -> ruins1, ruinsplus -> ruins2. The
new one is called ruins3.
* The Alice demo in the 'tutor' directory has been updated to the latest
Inform version.
* Included a more up-to-date inform-mode.el.
Version 6.21.3 (6 Nov 02):
* The Inform included here is now Andrew Plotkin's bi-platform version,
which can compile for Glulx, following a suggestion by Marshall
T. Vandegrift <vandem2.rpi.edu>.
* Now includes HTML version of the Designer's Manual.
* Several more library include files have been added.
Inspired by FreeBSD "ports".
Fix the PLISTs accordingly.
Also, while at it, remove now obsolete compileall.py calls in post-install
targets and insure that extension.mk is in included before builinlinks of
other Python modules.
Discussed with/ok'ed by drochner@.
so the the remainder of this file can use their values. Also override the
PREFIX with the module's PREFIX so the default directories end up pointing
in the right place.
bsd.pkg.mk automatically converts PERL5_ARCHLIB to be prefixed by
${LOCALBASE} if this is an overwrite package, so simply strip that away to
get the relative directory.
with binary packages.
XXX We should be adding to and removing from perllocal.pod in
XXX VIEW-{INSTALL,DEINSTALL} actions from the INSTALL/DEINSTALL
XXX scripts.
USE_GCC2 or USE_GCC3 where appropriate.
the functionality of the old gcc.buildlink2.mk has been rolled into
compiler.mk now, which is automatically used.
more changes to come later...
gcc buildlink2.mk files and splitting the non-buildlink2.mk bits out
into compiler.mk.
this allows USE_GCC2 and USE_GCC3 to work with non-buildlink2 packages
again.

Change the order of PYSETUP*AGS and the corresponding target.
Eg.:
s/${PYSETUPINSTALLARGS} install/install ${PYSETUPINSTALLARGS}/
This allows us to automatically install .pyo files with a
PYSETUPINSTALLARGS=-O1 -c and thus drop the compileall.py stuff in the
post-install target.

20030321 version:
Jul 29, 2003:
fixed (i think) the long-standing botch that included the beginning of
line state ^ for RE's in the set of valid characters; this led to a
variety of odd problems, including failure to properly match certain
regular expressions in non-US locales. thanks to ruslan for keeping
at this one.
Jul 28, 2003:
n-th try at getting internationalization right, with thanks to volker
kiefel, arnold robbins and ruslan ermilov for advice, though they
should not be blamed for the outcome. according to posix, "." is the
radix character in programs and command line arguments regardless of
the locale; otherwise, the locale should prevail for input and output
of numbers.
i have rescinded the attempt to use strcoll in expanding shorthands in
regular expressions (cclenter).
Jul 4, 2003:
fixed bug that permitted non-terminated RE, as in "awk /x".
Jun 1, 2003:
subtle change to split: if source is empty, number of elems
is always 0 and the array is not set.
This version is focused on improved performance and stability,
rather than introducing new functionality, hence it is called R9C.
Build Process NEW
The build process has been improved so that it is possible to build
Erlang/OTP from source even on Windows platforms. There is also a
completely new installation program for Windows.
Observer
crashdump_viewer NEW
A HTML based tool for browsing Erlang crashdumps. The tool can handle
crashdumps from OTP R7B, R8B and R9B as well but there is additional
information in the crashdumps for R9C.
OTP_MIBs NEW
The OTP mibs that where included in the SASL application have been
moved to this new application otp_mibs. This is a step too create a
pure core for Erlang/OTP that does not depend on specific,
non-mainstream applications such as SNMP.
This is a Ksi (Ksi Scheme Interpreter), a portable,
embeddable Scheme implementation written in C.
Ksi provides a machine independent execution platform that
can be linked in as a library when building extensible programs.
And what is more important it is not a Guile. :-)
Changes:
(Exceptions): A catch clause like `CATCH T(e):' introduces a read-only
variable `e' of type `T' within the block. The `(e)' part is
optional. New method Name() and new procedure Abort(). FatalError()
now takes a message string as argument.
(Object): The functions NewUCS4Region() and NewUCS4() have been
revived.
(ADT:ArrayList): New methods Sort() and Elements().
(ADT:StringBuffer): Now provides an INIT() method, covering the
functionality of the old NewCapacity() constructor. New method
CharsUTF16().
(ADT:Comparator): Provides a comparator class `String'.
(oo2c): Super calls can be issued for all type-bound procedures of the
base type, instead of just the procedure that is currently being
redefined.
(oo2c): The compiler warns if an INIT() method does not call the
INIT() of the base type.
Plus the usual number of bug fixes...
