Changes in sbcl-1.0.46 relative to sbcl-1.0.45:
* enhancement: largefile support on Solaris.
* enhancement: SB-PROFILE:REPORT now supports :LIMIT and :PRINT-NO-CALL-LIST
arguments (lp#710017)
* enhancement: SB-PCL:+SLOT-UNBOUND+ is exported, making it possible to
distinguish unbound instance slots when using STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS
&co. (lp#718039)
* optimization: ERROR and CERROR are approximately 5 times faster.
* optimization: optimized constructors are used for MAKE-INSTANCE of classes
with applicable non-standard (SETF SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS),
SLOT-BOUNDP-USING-CLASS, and INITIALIZE-INSTANCE :AROUND methods, speeding
up instance creation in those cases.
* optimization: arithmetic operations with multiple constant arguments in now
have them reduced at compile-time. (lp#676414)
* optimization: determining current character position on string-streams for
pretty-printing was overly slow.
* bug fix: local tail calls to DYNAMIC-EXTENT functions can no longer cause
lifetime analysis to overwrite closed-over variables (lp#681092).
* bug fix: encoding errors from some multibyte external formats such as EUC-JP
were not handled correctly (lp#713063).
* bug fix: printing waitqueue objects without setting *PRINT-CIRCLE* to T is now
safe (lp#673630).
* bug fix: Solaris/x86-64 wasn't getting built with lutex support by
mistake. (lp#667297).
* bug fix: CONSTANTLY generated functions had bogus lambda-lists. (lp#713626)
* bug fix: RUN-PROGRAM :PTY option was racy on OpenBSD. (lp#669485)
* bug fix: UNINTERN takes a symbol, not a symbol designator -- could previously
unintern the wrong symbol with the same name. (lp#693796)
* bug fix: COPY-PPRINT-DISPATCH always has access to a pristine table,
making it possible to restore the initial table if it has been messed up.
(lp#678409)
Console_GetOpt and Structures_Graph.

Changes 4.4.5:
The GNU project and the GCC developers are pleased to announce the
release of GCC 4.4.5.
This release is a bug-fix release, containing fixes for regressions in
GCC 4.4.4 relative to previous releases of GCC.
Impetus to upgrade from Matthias Rampke.
Pkgsrc changes:
o Changed package name to not include upstream version number (ouch!)
Upstream changes:
o Lots of fixes; list of changes not easily available.
o The main supported architectures are i386 and amd64; other targets
have "less functionality".
Please help in testing this; report bugs via http://pcc.ludd.ltu.se/jira.
Python 2.7 is intended to be the last major release in the 2.x series.
The Python maintainers are planning to focus their future efforts on
the Python 3.x series.
This means that 2.7 will remain in place for a long time, running
production systems that have not been ported to Python 3.x.
Two consequences of the long-term significance of 2.7 are:
* It's very likely the 2.7 release will have a longer period of
maintenance compared to earlier 2.x versions. Python 2.7 will
continue to be maintained while the transition to 3.x continues, and
the developers are planning to support Python 2.7 with bug-fix
releases beyond the typical two years.
* A policy decision was made to silence warnings only of interest to
developers. :exc:`DeprecationWarning` and its
descendants are now ignored unless otherwise requested, preventing
users from seeing warnings triggered by an application. This change
was also made in the branch that will become Python 3.2. (Discussed
on stdlib-sig and carried out in :issue:`7319`.)
In previous releases, :exc:`DeprecationWarning` messages were
enabled by default, providing Python developers with a clear
indication of where their code may break in a future major version
of Python.
However, there are increasingly many users of Python-based
applications who are not directly involved in the development of
those applications. :exc:`DeprecationWarning` messages are
irrelevant to such users, making them worry about an application
that's actually working correctly and burdening application developers
with responding to these concerns.
You can re-enable display of :exc:`DeprecationWarning` messages by
running Python with the :option:`-Wdefault <-W>` (short form:
:option:`-Wd <-W>`) switch, or by setting the :envvar:`PYTHONWARNINGS`
environment variable to ``"default"`` (or ``"d"``) before running
Python. Python code can also re-enable them
by calling ``warnings.simplefilter('default')``.

* error.c (exc_to_s): untainted strings can be tainted via
Exception#to_s, which enables attackers to overwrite sane strings.
Reported by: Yusuke Endoh <mame at tsg.ne.jp>.
* error.c (name_err_to_s): ditto.
Fri Feb 18 21:17:22 2011 Shugo Maeda <shugo@ruby-lang.org>
* lib/fileutils.rb (FileUtils::remove_entry_secure): there is a
race condition in the case where the given path is a directory,
and some other user can move that directory, and create a
symlink while this method is executing.

revision was fixing gets reopened by this reversion.

John Marino, originally per PR pkg/44436, slightly updated
for i386/amd64, comes with a bootstrap which doesn't need an Ada compiler
on the pkg build system (fetches a bootstrap binary from MASTER_SITE)
There seems to be some incompatibility with the binutils/libgcc_s
on NetBSD-current, leading to warnings. Not fatal, but should be
investigated.
