* important changes in version 1.32 24/5/2007:
- Make Archive::Tar work nicely with perls compiled with
-Dmksymlinks. This also fixes an issue introduced in
1.31 where symlinks weren't dereferenced in all cases.
- Quell warnings when a gid is not resolvable to a group name
* important changes in version 1.31 18/5/2007:
- No longer use the t/setup.t and t/cleanup.t files but just bundle
the binary files; this was done for core integration, but the new
uupacktool.pl script means we dont have to do this anymore
_ Apply core perl Change 30997 by rgs@stcosmo on 2007/04/20 15:03:57
- Address: #27124: Unneeded warning sent when checking for file
inclusion contains_file() will no longer warn to STDERR when a file
is not contained in an archive and $WARN is set to 'true'.
- Address #26492: Dangling symlinks not preserved: Archive::Tar used
to complain about dangling symlinks, unlike standard gnu tar, which
would add them silently. This patch brings A::T's behaviour in line
with gnu tar
- Minor pod fixes
0.65 Wed 21 Mar 2007
- Add a special case to pass users_home(current user) on to my_home
(This prevents tests failing when you manually set HOME to lie
about your home directory. This was mostly preventing installation
with "sudo cpan -i File::HomeDir".
- Upgraded to Module::Install 0.65

v1.02 (25 May 2007):
* Added overview section in the documentation
v1.01 (17 May 2007):

formatting commands.)

Release notes for version 1.6
* Additions:
o An autogen.sh script for generating the various generated files from source was added.

Based on patch provided by Yorick Hardy in PR 36334, I ajust patch files.
2.41 (2006-10-13)
=================
User visible changes
--------------------
* New module libsvm interfaces to <http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm>
and makes Support Vector Machines available in CLISP.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/libsvm.html> for details.
* The same internal interface now handles FFI forms DEF-CALL-OUT and
DEF-C-VAR regardless of the presence of the :LIBRARY argument.
(:LIBRARY NIL) is now identical to omitting the :LIBRARY argument.
The default for the :LIBRARY argument is provided by
FFI:*DEFAULT-FOREIGN-LIBRARY* (bound in a compilation unit).
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/dffi.html#dffi-default-lib> for details.
* Bug fixes:
+ DOCUMENTATION on built-in functions was broken on some platforms.
[ 1569234 ]
+ Fixed FFI callbacks, broken since the 2.36 release.
+ Fixed the way the top-level driver handles the "--" option terminator.
+ Fixed COMPILE of APPLY in LABELS for local function. [ 1575946 ]
2.40 (2006-09-23)
=================
Important notes
---------------
* All .fas files generated by previous CLISP versions are invalid and
must be recompiled. This is because DOCUMENTATION and LAMBDA-LIST are
now kept with the closures.
Set CUSTOM:*LOAD-OBSOLETE-ACTION* to :COMPILE to automate this.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#loadfile> for details.
User visible changes
--------------------
* Infrastructure
+ Top-level configure now accepts a new option --elispdir which specifies
the installation directory for the Emacs Lisp files (clhs.el et al).
The default value is ${datadir}/emacs/site-lisp/.
Thus, clhs.el at al are now installed by "make install", and should
be included in the 3rd party distributions.
+ Top-level configure now accepts variables on command line, e.g.,
./configure CC=g++ CFLAGS=-g
* Function PCRE:PCRE-EXEC accepts :DFA and calls pcre_dfa_exec() when
built against PCRE v6. See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/pcre.html>.
* New functions RAWSOCK:IF-NAME-INDEX, RAWSOCK:IFADDRS.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/rawsock.html>.
* When the OPTIMIZE SPACE level is low enough, keep function
documentation and lambda list.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/declarations.html#space-decl>.
* Bug fixes:
+ Make it possible to set *IMPNOTES-ROOT-DEFAULT* and *CLHS-ROOT-DEFAULT*
to local paths, as opposed to URLs. [ 1494059 ]
+ Fix the evaluation order of initialization and :INITIALLY forms in
then extended LOOP. [ 1516684 ]
+ Do not allow non-symbols as names of anonymous classes. [ 1528201 ]
+ REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE now calls FINALIZE-INHERITANCE. [ 1526448 ]
+ Fix the RAWSOCK module on big-endian platforms. [ 1529244 ]
+ PRINT-OBJECT now works on built-in objects. [ 1482533 ]
+ ADJUST-ARRAY signals an error if :FILL-POINTER is supplied and non-NIL
but the non-adjustable array has no fill pointer, as per ANSI. [ 1538333 ]
+ MAKE-PATHNAME no longer ignores explicit :DIRECTORY NIL (thanks to
Stephen Compall <s11001001@us...>). [ 1550803 ]
+ Executable images now work on ia64 (thanks to Dr. Werner Fink
<werner@su...>).
+ MAKE-PATHNAME on win32 now handles correctly directories that start
with a non-string (e.g., :WILD). [ 1555096 ]
+ SOCKET-STREAM-PEER and SOCKET-STREAM-LOCAL had do-not-resolved-p
inverted since 2.37.
+ Set functions with :TEST 'EQUALP were broken on large lists. [ 1567186 ]
