Changes in 0.9.4.1:
Tiny bugfix to correct a tab/space problem in the distutils
extension.
Changes in 0.9.4:
LValue Casting Is Dead
I have redesigned the code generator to eliminate the need for lvalue
casting. This means that Pyrex-generated code should now be
gcc4-compatible, although I haven't tested this. Let me know if you find
any remaining lvalue casts; they should be fairly easy to fix now.
C++ Compilable
The generated code should now be compilable as either C or C++
without errors (although there may still be warnings). However, note
that you can still only call C++ functions if they have been declared
"extern C", even if you compile the Pyrex output as C++. I hope to
introduce some C++ interface features soon.
and more.
In Changelog:
- Many bugfixes
- chicken-config was removed, "csc" providing the same functionality
- option -objc generates files in Objective-C mode
- options '-framework', '-rpath'...
...
it will live with other "check" targets run after package installation.
Get rid of SHLIB_HANDLING, whose meaning had mutated over the years
from one thing to another. Currently, it is used to basically note
whether the system's "ldd" command can be usefully run on the package's
binaries and libraries. Rename this variable to CHECK_SHLIBS_SUPPORTED
for more clarity.
CHECK_SHLIBS is now a variable set exclusively by the user in /etc/mk.conf
to note whether the check for missing run-time search paths is performed
after a package is installed. It defaults to "no" unless PKG_DEVELOPER
is set.
SPL is a powerful scripting language. It is very feature-rich (hashes, regular
expressions, objects, exceptions, built-in template language, etc. pp.) and has
a c-style syntax. The Name "SPL" is a left-recursive acronym and expands to "SPL
Programming Language". The name was meant to be pronounced as an acronym, but
I've already heard people pronouncing it "spell", which is also fine with me.
The SPL VM is a pure bytecode interpeter. Support for JIT compilation or
generating machine code for the host CPU is not planed and doesn't make much
sense for various technical reasons. The entire SPL toolchain (compiler,
assembler, virtual machine, etc) is pretty small (about 100k on x86
architectures). The additional memory usage by the applications is rather small
too. One of the more advanced VM features is the capability to dump the entire
VM state to a file and resume later. It is even possible to resume on another
machine with a different architecture.
SPL has support for loadable modules. The spl package contains already modules
for stuff such as accessing SQL databases (SQLite, Postgres, MySQL), XML (incl.
XPATH and XSLT), Terminal and File IO, Web Application development (the CGI, WSF
and W2T (Web 2.0 Toolkit) modules), SDL, Qt and much more.
SPL currently supports Linux,BSD Systems, other POSIX environments, MacOS-X
(Darwin), SGI IRIX, Cygwin and native Win32 (using MinGW).

New in release 0.91 (May 14, 2006)
(See the ChangeLog file for a full list of changes.)
* Experimental activation (java.rmi.activation) support, including RMI
activation daemon and persistent naming service tools.
* Experimental printing support: The API implementation of the javax.print
packages has been finished and work on the printing provider implementation
started. Currently supported features from the Java Print Service API are
print service discovery (CUPS registered printers), single document print
jobs and support for client-formatted print data. An example application
(see: examples/gnu/classpath/examples/print/Demo) has been added to show
the API usage for service discovery and printing of files.
* The GTKToolkit now gives access to the both the system clipboard and
system selection.
* Custom mouse cursor support has been added to the gtk+ peers. And cursors
can now also be set on light-weight components.
* Free Swing improvements: Support for OceanTheme has been mostly completed
and turned on as default Metal theme. X11-style Copy and Paste behavior in
text components with the middle mouse button. Support cursor changes on
various components when resizing. Support for Look and Feel window
decorations has been added.
* Updated locale data information to CLDR 1.3.
* Various bugs in Classpath's SecureRandom implementations have been
fixed; that class now respects the "securerandom.source" security
property and the "java.security.egd" system property.
* Support for assistive technologies has been added to AWT and Swing.
- use REQD_DIRS instead of OWN_DIRS as the latter ends up in
CHECK_FILES_SKIP causing a check-files error (files both listed in
PLIST and CHECK_FILES_SKIP are reported as an "error"). Besides
OWN_DIRS creation at ADDing time is subject to PKG_CONFIG setting,
so these directories might not be created which would cause problems.
- Add $JAVA_HOME/lib/$MACHINE_ARCH/client/classes.jsa to CHECK_FILES_SKIP
same as the gzip compressed one used previously (and the one from the
MASTER_SITE which is 2 bytes longer!?!).
Thanks to rui for pointing out where to get it the "old" gzip tarball.
What's New In Kaffe 1.1.7
------------------------------------------------------
* Many cleanups, warning fixes and bug fixes.
* Removed support for class library profiles, since
--with-glibj-zip offers a more convenient replacement.
* Updated to boehm-gc 6.6
* Updated to gjdoc 0.7.7
* Merged in fastjar.
* Merged in zlib. There is a new configure option,
--with-system-zlib to allow the use of the system zlib,
instead of the merged in one.
* Merged in GNU Classpath completely. Updated to version 0.90,
with additional fixes.
* Merged in port to DROPS.
* Merged in port to Blackfin CPU.
* Support for DragonFly BSD.
* Ported to ia64-freebsd and alpha-freebsd.
* Ported to powerpc-openbsd.
* Improved support for Cygwin and sparc64-openbsd.
* Improved stack handling for pthreads on openbsd.
* Added simple direct threading interpreter implementation.
The patches have been removes, since they were either included upstram or are
no more necessary
