Version 10.37 26-May-2021
-------------------------
A few more bug fixes and tidies. The only change of real note is the removal of
the actual POSIX names regcomp etc. from the POSIX wrapper library because
these have caused issues for some applications (see 10.33 #2 below).
* Version 3.7.2 (released 2021-05-29)
** libgnutls: The priority string option %DISABLE_TLS13_COMPAT_MODE was added
to disable TLS 1.3 middlebox compatibility mode
** libgnutls: The Linux kernel AF_ALG based acceleration has been added.
This can be enabled with --enable-afalg configure option, when libkcapi
package is installed (#308).
** libgnutls: Fixed timing of early data exchange. Previously, the client was
sending early data after receiving Server Hello, which not only negates the
benefit of 0-RTT, but also works under certain assumptions hold (e.g., the
same ciphersuite is selected in initial and resumption handshake) (#1146).
** certtool: When signing a CSR, CRL distribution point (CDP) is no longer
copied from the signing CA by default (#1126).
** libgnutls: The GNUTLS_NO_EXPLICIT_INIT envvar has been renamed to
GNUTLS_NO_IMPLICIT_INIT to reflect the purpose (#1178). The former is now
deprecated and will be removed in the future releases.
** certtool: When producing certificates and certificate requests, subject DN
components that are provided individually will now be ordered by
assumed scale (e.g. Country before State, Organization before
OrganizationalUnit). This change also affects the order in which
certtool prompts interactively. Please rely on the template
mechanism for automated use of certtool! (#1243)
** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_early_cipher_get: Added
gnutls_early_prf_hash_get: Added
* What is new in gsl-2.6:
** add BLAS calls for the following functions:
- gsl_vector_memcpy
- gsl_vector_scale
- gsl_matrix_memcpy
- gsl_matrix_transpose_memcpy
- gsl_matrix_tricpy
- gsl_matrix_transpose_tricpy
** deprecated functions gsl_linalg_complex_householder_hm and
gsl_linalg_complex_householder_mh
** add unit tests for gsl_linalg_symmtd and gsl_linalg_hermtd
** multilarge TSQR algorithm has been converted to use the new Level 3 QR decomposition
** nonlinear least squares Cholesky solver now uses the new Level 3 BLAS
method; the old modified Cholesky solver is still available under
gsl_multifit_nlinear_solver_mcholesky and gsl_multilarge_nlinear_solver_mcholesky
** implemented Level 3 BLAS versions of several linear algebra routines:
- Triangular matrix inversion
- Cholesky decomposition and inversion (real and complex)
- LU decomposition and inversion (real and complex)
- QR decomposition (courtesy of Julien Langou)
- Generalized symmetric/hermitian eigensystem reduction to standard form
** removed deprecated function gsl_linalg_hessenberg()
** renamed gsl_interp2d_eval_e_extrap() to gsl_interp2d_eval_extrap_e()
to match documentation (reported by D. Lebrun-Grandie)
** renamed some of the gsl_sf_hermite functions to be more consistent
with rest of the library, and deprecated old function names
** updated gsl_sf_hermite_func() to use a newer algorithm
due to B. Bunck which is more stable for large x; also added
gsl_sf_hermite_func_fast() which uses the faster Cauchy integral
algorithm in the same paper by Bunck
** add gsl_vector_axpby()
** add un-pivoted LDLT decomposition and its banded
variant (gsl_linalg_ldlt_* and gsl_linalg_ldlt_band_*)
** add binary search tree module (gsl_bst); based on GNU libavl
** remove -u flag to gsl-histogram
** updated spmatrix module
- added routines and data structures for all types (float,uint,char,...)
- added gsl_spmatrix_scale_columns() and gsl_spmatrix_scale_rows()
- added gsl_spmatrix_add_to_dense()
- more efficient reallocation of COO/triplet matrices (no longer rebuilds binary tree)
- enhanced test suite
- added gsl_spmatrix_min_index()
** add routines for banded Cholesky decomposition (gsl_linalg_cholesky_band_*)
** documented gsl_linalg_LQ routines and added gsl_linalg_LQ_lssolve()
Added unbind action. In the following Ripgrep launcher example,
you can use unbind(reload) to switch to fzf-only filtering mode.
Vim plugin
Vim plugin will stop immediately even when the source command hasn't finished
It is now possible to open popup window relative to the currrent window
It’s time for MAME 0.232, and do we have a surprise for you! The
incredibly rare Universal game Mrs. Dynamite has finally been found
and dumped! This is an early example of a game where you place
bombs to kill enemies that walk over them, showing Universal’s
flair for cute characters and cutscenes. Mrs. Dynamite is believed
to had performed poorly on location tests, and never had a widespread
release. The graphics in the version that has been dumped don’t
match what’s shown on flyers. Other arcade additions include Dokaben
2 and a prototype of Spinal Breakers.
Namco racing games have taken a leap forward this month. Final Lap
has its sprite chip hooked up subtly differently to later games on
the System II platform, which had been causing graphical issues on
the title screen. Lack of playback status register emulation in
the C140 sound chip was causing issues with engine sounds in Final
Lap, Suzuka 8 Hours, and Four Trax. The horizontal position of the
road layer has also been adjusted to better match videos made using
original hardware.
A number of bug fixes allow previously unplayable Japanese home
computer games, including µPD7220 issues affecting the Madou
Monogatari games on PC-98, the missing 1-bit DAC sound on PC-98,
broken sprites in Asuka 120% Burning Fest. on FM Towns, and background
bugs on Sharp X68000. Mac media support continues to improve, with
working CD-ROM drives on more Macs, and fixes for high density
floppy drives. The V.Smile Smart Keyboard is now supported, in US,
French, and German variants. Tim Lindner has continued to fix
long-standing bugs in Tandy CoCo 3 emulation.
Software list additions include Taiwanese Game Gear cartridges,
Master System prototypes, a big batch of software for the Australian
MicroBee series, and quite a few add-on ROMs for the Acorn BBC
Micro. We’ve also got the latest Apple II floppy dumps and cracks,
FM Towns floppies and CDs, and PC floppies.
Terminal User Interface for GnuPG.
It aims to ease the key management operations such as listing/exporting/signing
by providing an interface along with the command-line fallback for more complex
operations.
It is not trying to be a full-fledged interface for all the features that gpg
provides but it tries to bring a more interactive approach to key management.
This updates octave and also gets some more recommened dependencies in,
namely qrupdate and Mesalib (for osmesa) and gl2ps as well as the
qscintilla editor. The glpk option is on by default again.
This version of octave comes rather close to a standard build, with
optimzied BLAS and GUI fluff. We are still missing SuiteSparse and
SUNDIALS solvers, see
https://octave.org/doc/v6.2.0/External-Packages.html
PortAudio should also be considered, and LLVM be watched if that
experimental JIT settles in.
Upstream changes since 5.x:
Summary of important user-visible changes for version 6.1.0 (2020-11-26):
------------------------------------------------------------------------
### General improvements
- The `intersect`, `setdiff`, `setxor`, `union`, and `unique` functions
accept a new sorting option `"stable"` which will return output values
in the same order as the input, rather than in ascending order.
- Complex RESTful web services can now be accessed by the `webread` and
`webwrite` functions alongside with the `weboptions` structure. One
major feature is the support for cookies to enable RESTful
communication with the web service.
Additionally, the system web browser can be opened by the `web`
function.
- The `linspace` function now produces symmetrical sequences when the
endpoints are symmetric. This is more intuitive and also compatible
with recent changes made in Matlab R2019b.
- The underlying algorithm of the `rand` function has been changed.
For single precision outputs, the algorithm has been fixed so that it
produces values strictly in the range (0, 1). Previously, it could
occasionally generate the right endpoint value of 1 (See bug #41742).
In addition, the new implementation uses a uniform interval between
floating point values in the range (0, 1) rather than targeting a
uniform density (# of random integers / length along real number
line).
- Numerical integration has been improved. The `quadv` function has
been re-written so that it can compute integrands of periodic
functions. At the same time, performance is better with ~3.5X fewer
function evaluations required. A bug in `quadgk` that caused complex
path integrals specified with `"Waypoints"` to occasionally be
calculated in the opposite direction was fixed.
- The `edit` function option `"editinplace"` now defaults to `true` and
the option `"home"` now defaults to the empty matrix `[]`. Files will
no longer be copied to the user's HOME directory for editing. The old
behavior can be restored by setting `"editinplace"` to `false` and
`"home"` to `"~/octave"`.
- The `format` command supports two new options: `uppercase` and
`lowercase` (default). With the default, print a lowercase 'e' for
the exponent character in scientific notation and lowercase 'a-f' for
the hex digits representing 10-15. With `uppercase`, print 'E' and
'A-F' instead. The previous uppercase formats, `E` and `G`, no longer
control the case of the output.
Additionally, the `format` command can be called with multiple options
for controlling the format, spacing, and case in arbitrary order.
For example:
format long e uppercase loose
Note, in the case of multiple competing format options the rightmost
one is used, and, in case of an error, the previous format remains
unchanged.
- L-value references (e.g., increment (++), decrement (--), and all
in-place assignment operators (+=, -=, *=, /=, etc.)) are no longer
allowed in anonymous functions.
- New warnings have been added about questionable uses of the colon ':'
range operator. Each has a new warning ID so that it can be disabled
if desired.
> `Octave:colon-complex-argument` : when any arg is complex
> `Octave:colon-nonscalar-argument` : when any arg is non-scalar
- The `regexp` and related functions now correctly handle and *require*
strings in UTF-8 encoding. As with any other function that requires
strings to be encoded in Octave's native encoding, you can use
`native2unicode` to convert from your preferred locale. For example,
the copyright symbol in UTF-8 is `native2unicode (169, "latin1")`.
- The startup file `octaverc` can now be located in the platform
dependent location for user local configuration files (e.g.,
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/octave/octaverc on Unix-like operating systems or
%APPDATA%\octave\octaverc on Windows).
- `pkg describe` now lists dependencies and inverse dependencies
(i.e., other installed packages that depend on the package in
question).
- `pkg test` now tests all functions in a package.
- When unloading a package, `pkg` now checks if any remaining loaded
packages depend on the one to be removed. If this is the case `pkg`
aborts with an explanatory error message. This behavior can be
overridden with the `-nodeps` option.
- The command
dbstop in CLASS at METHOD
now works to set breakpoints in classdef constructors and methods.
#### Graphics backend
- The use of Qt4 for graphics and the GUI is deprecated in Octave
version 6 and no further bug fixes will be made. Qt4 support will be
removed completely in Octave version 7.
- The `legend` function has been entirely rewritten. This fixes a
number of historical bugs, and also implements new properties such as
`"AutoUpdate"` and `"NumColumns"`. The gnuplot toolkit---which is no
longer actively maintained---still uses the old legend function.
- The `axis` function was updated which resolved 10 bugs affecting
axes to which `"equal"` had been applied.
- Graphic primitives now accept a color property value of `"none"`
which is useful when a particular primitive needs to be hidden
(for example, the Y-axis of an axes object with `"ycolor" = "none"`)
without hiding the entire primitive `"visibility" = "off"`.
- A new property `"FontSmoothing"` has been added to text and axes
objects that controls whether anti-aliasing is used during the
rendering of characters. The default is `"on"` which produces smooth,
more visually appealing text.
- The figure property `"windowscrollwheelfcn"`is now implemented.
This makes it possible to provide a callback function to be executed
when users manipulate the mouse wheel on a given figure.
- The figure properties `"pointer"`, `"pointershapecdata"`, and
`"pointershapehotspot"` are now implemented. This makes it possible
to change the shape of the cursor (pointer in Matlab-speak) displayed
in a plot window.
- The figure property `"paperpositionmode"` now has the default `"auto"`
rather than `"manual"`. This change is more intuitive and is
Matlab compatible.
- The appearance of patterned lines `"LineStyle" = ":"|"--"|"-."` has
been improved for small widths (`"LineWidth"` less than 1.5 pixels)
which is a common scenario.
- Printing to EPS files now uses a tight bounding box (`"-tight"`
argument to print) by default. This makes more sense for EPS
files which are normally embedded within other documents, and is
Matlab compatible. If necessary use the `"-loose"` option to
reproduce figures as they appeared in previous versions of Octave.
- The following print devices are no longer officially supported: cdr,
corel, aifm, ill, cgm, hpgl, mf and dxf. A warning will be thrown
when using those devices, and the code for supporting those formats
will eventually be removed from a future version of Octave.
- The placement of text subscripts and superscripts has been
re-engineered and now produces visually attractive results similar to
Latex.
### Matlab compatibility
- The function `unique` now returns column index vectors for the second
and third outputs. When duplicate values are present, the default
index to return is now the `"first"` occurrence. The previous Octave
behavior, or Matlab behavior from releases prior to R2012b, can be
obtained by using the `"legacy"` flag.
- The function `setdiff` with the `"rows"` argument now returns Matlab
compatible results. The previous Octave behavior, or Matlab behavior
from releases prior to R2012b, can be obtained by using the `"legacy"`
flag.
- The functions `intersect`, `setxor`, and `union` now accept a
`"legacy"` flag which changes the index values (second and third
outputs) as well as the orientation of all outputs to match Matlab
releases prior to R2012b.
- The function `streamtube` is Matlab compatible and plots tubes along
streamlines which are scaled by the vector field divergence. The
Octave-only extension `ostreamtube` can be used to visualize the flow
expansion and contraction of the vector field due to the local
crossflow divergence.
- The interpreter now supports handles to nested functions.
- The graphics properties `"LineWidth"` and `"MarkerSize"` are now
measured in points, *not* pixels. Compared to previous versions
of Octave, some lines and markers will appear 4/3 larger.
- The meta.class property "SuperClassList" has been renamed
"Superclasslist" for Matlab compatibility. The original name will
exist as an alias until Octave version 8.1.
- Inline functions created by the function `inline` are now of type
"inline" when interrogated with the `class` function. In previous
versions of Octave, the class returned was "function_handle". This
change is Matlab compatible. Inline functions are deprecated in
both Matlab and Octave and support may eventually be removed.
Anonymous functions can be used to replace all instances of inline
functions.
- The function `javaaddpath` now prepends new directories to the
existing dynamic classpath by default. To append them instead, use
the new `"-end"` argument. Multiple directories may now be specified
in a cell array of strings.
- An undocumented function `gui_mainfcn` has been added, for compatibility
with figures created with Matlab's GUIDE.
- Several validator functions of type `mustBe*` have been added. See
the list of new functions below.

It is wrong to disable OpenMP and this setting does nothing anyway.
Maybe it did in the past. Now, the build tries to use OpenMP if
possible and this is the right thing to do.
Repeat: This change doesn't affect the build at all since that variable
is not checked (since some time?).
This is part 2 to support additional platforms with the RC scripts provided in
pkgsrc, in privileged as well as in unprivileged mode, including on NetBSD.
These changes:
- install rc.subr to PKG_SYSCONFDIR if SYSCONFBASE is not /etc
- let RC scripts source rc.subr in PKG_SYSCONFDIR
- effectively allow unprivileged setups to run RC scripts easily
- in addition, give a chance for more platforms to run RC scripts
Tested in privileged and unprivileged modes on NetBSD/amd64, and unprivileged
mode on Darwin/amd64; submitted for review on tech-pkg@.
This is part 1 to support additional platforms with the RC scripts provided in
pkgsrc, in privileged as well as in unprivileged mode, including on NetBSD
(with part 2 in pkgtools/rc.subr).
This variable is meant to point to the configuration directory of the base
system (as opposed to pkgsrc's own prefix) when it should be used by pkgsrc in
special cases (e.g. installing RC scripts), or to point to the existing
PKG_SYSCONFBASE directory otherwise (e.g. for any unprivileged bootstrap).
This teaches pkgsrc where the RC scripts should be installed, and more
importantly, where the local copy of rc.subr can be expected. Part 3 will
progressively update each and every RC script to substitute this path as
expected.
No functional changes are intended in privileged mode without a bootstrap. The
only variable affected by this change directly is RCD_SCRIPTS_DIR, which
currently remains with the same default of /etc/rc.d, and can be overridden as
before.
When bootstrapping, SYSCONFBASE also remains with the existing default when no
prefix is set or is "/usr/pkg" or "/usr"; it is set to $prefix/etc otherwise. It
can be specified specifically with --sysconfbase if necessary.
Existing installations or bootstraps are not affected, as this change needs
setting SYSCONFBASE in the corresponding $sysconfdir/mk.conf to have an impact.
Tested in privileged and unprivileged modes on NetBSD/amd64, and unprivileged
mode on Darwin/amd64; submitted for review on tech-pkg@.
This is a bugfix release to fix two bugs in 1.6.0.
The full list of changes from version 1.5.3 to 1.6.0 can be found at
https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint/releases/tag/1.6.0.
This also improves the RC script provided to not longer assume Python 3.8
specifically.
immutable is a fork of frozendict, an immutable wrapper around dictionaries.
It implements the complete mapping interface. It can be used as a drop-in
replacement for dictionaries where immutability is desired. The immutabledict
constructor mimics dict, and all of the expected interfaces (iter, len, repr,
hash, getitem) are provided. Note that an immutabledict does not guarantee the
immutability of its values, so the utility of hash method is restricted by
usage.
The only difference is that the copy() method of immutable takes variable
keyword arguments, which will be present as key/value pairs in the new,
immutable copy.
The changes include:
* #2 Fix native grep not always being in extended regex mode
* Add a "Prerelease" release channel
* Code now uses pre-commit, black, prettier, isort and flake8 just like OctoPrint itself.
In turn, this is required to update py-octoprint to version 1.6.1.
The changes include:
* Add removable info message when a firmware development build is detected
* Add a "Prerelease" release channel
* Code now uses pre-commit, black, prettier, isort and flake8 just like OctoPrint itself.
In turn, this is required to update py-octoprint to version 1.6.1.
The Pi Support plugin for OctoPrint provides additional information about your
Pi in the UI and also alerts you about undervoltage or overheating issues
observed on your Pi or if your Pi is unsupported. If you are running OctoPi,
the Pi Support plugin will also provide additional information about that.
OctoPrint will only load this plugin when it detects that it is being run on a
Raspberry Pi.
This manifests as the snapper vfs files appearing depending on dbus
being present or not on Linux, causing PLIST mismatch. This option
actually disables this if desired. The default is still on, as
dbus is to be expected on modern Linux installs anyway.
