Many, many bugs have been fixed relative to 6.6. Far too many to list here.
The other changes in this release are:
* GHC works on Windows Vista.
* GHC can now be used to compile C++ files.
* There is an --install-signal-handlers=<yes|no> RTS flag. The main use is
to stop GHC installing signal handlers when you are putting your code in
a DLL.
* Newtypes can now be defined using GADT syntax.
* Linear implicit parameters are no longer accepted.
* There is a manpage for ghc and ghci.
* The building guide has been moved to the wiki.
* GHC now comes with the filepath library.

such as types and values, natively in OCaml programs.
The goal of the OCamlDuce project is to extend the OCaml language with features
to make it easier to write safe and efficient complex applications that need to
deal with XML documents. In particular, it relies on a notion of types and
patterns to guarantee statically that all the possible input documents are
correctly processed, and that only valid output documents are produced.

to the versions corresponding to the 2006-09 release. This should have
been done when the main hugs package was updated to this version back in
October of past year.
New version has NetBSD/powerpc support (although I haven't adjusted
the Makefile due to lack of test machines) and now builds the
sb-posix package properly.
Many changes, among them:
- Many bugs have been fixed (cf coq-bugs web page)
- changed parsing precedence of let/in and fun constructions of Ltac:
let x := t in e1; e2 is now parsed as let x := t in (e1;e2).
- New primitive "external" for communication with tool external to Coq.
- Omega now handles arbitrary precision integers.
- Haskell extraction: types of functions are now printed, better
unsafeCoerce mechanism, both for hugs and ghc.
- Scheme extraction improved, see http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~letouzey/scheme.
- New notation "exists! x:A, P" for unique existence.
- New library on String and Ascii characters (contributed by L. Thery).
- New library FSets+FMaps of finite sets and maps.
- New library QArith on rational numbers.
- Few improvements in ZArith potentially exceptionally breaking the
compatibility (useless hypothesys of Zgt_square_simpl and
Zlt_square_simpl removed; fixed names mentioning letter O instead of
digit 0; weaken premises in Z_lt_induction).
(true for 1.5, but officially branded as such for 6), so this is called
"sun-j{dk,re}6" rather than "sun-j{dk,re}16".

from the original, that it has become easier to maintain it as its own
file instead of a patch, so do that.
- Improve the shell quoting quite a bit in the f2c-f77 script. Now you
can pass things like -DFOO=this\ is\ a\ test and have the escapes
actually work when the arguments get passed down to the underlying
commands. Many thanks to Alan Barrett for help with the shell quoting.

Gauche 0.8.9: Major maintenance release
+ Bug fixes
+ Miscellaneous improvements:
2006/11/18
Gauche 0.8.8 important patch: There is a bug in main.c that makes gosh
exits silently without reporting errors when a Scheme script raised an
unhandled error. Please apply the patch shown in the following message:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=30949517&forum_id=
2043
2006/11/11
Gauche 0.8.8: Major maintenance release
+ Important Changes:
o Exact rational number is supported; now you get 1/3 from (/ 1 3).
To obtain inexact number from division of two exact numbers, you
have to use exact->inexact explicitly. With this change you can get
more exact result, but if your code has relied on the old Gauche
behavior that automatically converts rationals to inexact reals,
your code may run very slowly in this release of Gauche (since
exact rational arithmetic is much slower than flonum arithmetic).
For the smooth transition, a compatibility module compat.norational
is provided, which makes the / operator behaves like before. See
the manual entry for the details.
o The reader is more strict about utf-8 encoding. Consequently, some
source files in other encoding that happened to be accepted by
previous versions of Gauche may no longer work. If you get an
error, either convert the encoding of the source, or use "coding:"
magic comment (See "Multibyte scripts" section of the reference
manual).
o The test-module routine in gauche.test is fixed so that it detects
more references to undefined global variables that have been
overlooked. You may get an error something like "symbols referenced
but not defined: ...". In most cases, they are from typos. See the
manual entry of gauche.test - Unit testing for the details.
o New modules:
# sxml.serializer: Generic routine to convert SXML to other
formats like XML or HTML. Written by Dmitry Lizorkin and ported
to Gauche by Leonardo Boiko.
# util.trie: Implementation of Trie. Originally by OOHASHI
Daichi, and hacked by numerous Gauche hackers.
# util.rbtree: Implementation of Red-Black Tree. Written by Rui
Ueyama.
o A bug in port locking routine, that caused a race condition on
multiprocessor machine, is fixed. As a side effect, port lock
operation became a bit faster.
o C API prospected change: Scm_Eval, Scm_EvalCString, and Scm_Apply
will have different API in the next release. The current API is
kept under a different name, Scm_EvalRec, Scm_EvalCStringRec, and
Scm_ApplyRec. If you are using those functions, please make changes
until the next release.
+ Miscellaneous fixes and improvements:
2006/4/12
Gauche 0.8.7: Major maintenance release
+ Bug fixes:
+ Improvements:
clear that these variables are completely unrelated to
BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM.
Added a legacy check that catches appearances of BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM.*.
XXX: Where should incompatible changes in pkgsrc be documented?
packlist is used to generate the pkgsrc PLIST. This is the case for most
of the Perl modules, so the default value is "yes".
Currently, there is no change in functionality. After some further
testing, the default will be that a Perl module provides a packlist and
needs to say if it doesn't.
I would list the changes to the package here, but SBCL makes a new
release every month, and there are usually a dozen or more minor
changes per release. The previous version of this package is about
18 months old...

* Changes in OpenCOBOL 0.31
** Stability update - See individual ChangeLogs
** New driver program - "cobcrun"
This allows all application programs to be compiled as
modules and driven by "cobcrun" similar to MF's "cobrun".
Syntax - cobcrun <MAINPROG> [Arguments to program "MAINPROG"]
As "cobcrun" is linked with the static version of Open Cobol
libraries, it is easier to maintain concurrent versions on the
same system.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Changes in OpenCOBOL 0.30
** Installation changes
*** No longer use readline.
*** No longer use run-time configuration file (libcob.conf)

Positive: 0123456789 Negative: pqrstuvwxy
The config option `display-sign' controls this.
*** Data items defined in the working-storage section are
initialized at the beginning of program by default.
The config option `auto-initialize' controls this.
*** SORT statement now creates a temporary file in /tmp for sorting
and removes it after sorting.
** Feature changes
*** COPY statements try to complement the following file extensions:
.CBL, .COB, .cbl, or .cob.
*** COPY / REPLACE statements are reimplemented for better replacement.
*** SPECIAL-NAMES. FORMFEED IS ...
*** ALPHABET ... IS EBCDIC.
*** EXTERNAL clause.
*** SHARING clause.
*** USAGE COMP-5 and COMP-X.
*** USAGE POINTER and ADDRESS OF operator.
*** LENGTH OF operator.

Patch provided by pancake@youterm.com in PR 35262.
And add patches to build with NetBSD 3.
New in release 0.93 (Dec 8, 2006)
* CORBA objects that exist on the same virtual machine and only are connected
to another ORB are now accessed directly and no longer via network. It is
the same feature that RMI implementation provides. These faster calls should
be completely transparent, as the parameters are cloned, where required.
Currently the direct calls are only possible for the non-deprecated objects
that are connected to the ORB via POA.
* The 'javah' tool has been added. It requires the ASM library
(see asm.objectweb.org); it can be enabled with the --with-asm
option to configure
* Added the rmi and corbaname URL context factories for JNDI.
* Fixes in the JNDI InitialContext now allows to plug-in user implementation.
* Removed currentClassLoader method from
vm/reference/java/io/ObjectInputStream.java.
* Added firstNonNullClassLoader method to
vm/reference/gnu/classpath/VMStackWalker.java. VMs are encouraged to
provide a more efficient implementation.
* Added aton method to vm/reference/java/net/VMInetAddress.java.
* NetworkInterface has been implemented for systems that provide the
`getifaddrs' function.
* java.nio.channels.Selector implementations have been added that use
the kqueue notification mechanism on Mac OS X and *BSD, and that use
the epoll notification mechanism on Linux 2.6.
* java.nio has been refactored to support more non-blocking operations
natively. Blocking IO classes have been refactored to call
non-blocking classes. Non-blocking accepts, connects, and
scatter-gather IO should now be better supported.
* HTML support for Swing has been greatly enhanced.
Runtime interface changes:
* java.net.VMNetworkInterface and java.net.NetworkInterface have been
updated to keep native-modified state in the former, and to simplify
the native code in our reference implementation.
* gnu.java.nio.VMChannel has been expanded to better support native
non-blocking IO. Most native state data (such as file descriptor
integers) has been abstracted away into private state in the runtime
interface.
* gnu.java.nio.VMPipe has been similarly changed.
* gnu.java.net.VMPlainSocketImpl has been changed to remove some
functionality now provided by VMChannel; datagram socket-specific
methods have also been moved here, deprecating VMPlainDatagramSocketImpl.
* gnu.java.net.VMPlainDatagramSocketImpl removed.
New in release 0.92 (Aug 9, 2006)
* GConf is used as a backend for java.util.prefs. GNU Classpath
thanks to Mario Torre for this contribution!
* libjawtgnu.so has been renamed libjawt.so for binary compatibility.
libjawt.so should be installed in a VM-specific directory rather
than directly in /usr/lib. Proprietary VMs put their libjawt.so
implementations in VM-specific directories but search /usr/lib first.
If GNU Classpath's libjawt.so is installed in /usr/lib it will create
problems for people who use a proprietary VM to run AWT Native
Interface applications.
* The GdkGraphics2D backend has been made the default. There is no
longer an explicit dependency on Cairo, the --enable-gtk-cairo
configure option is gone, and GTK 2.8 or higher is now required to
build the GTK peers.
* A Mozilla plugin, 'gcjwebplugin', is now included. It introduces a
dependency on the Mozilla plugin support headers and libraries.
* New java implementations of png and gif imageio readers and writers.
* A tools.texinfo document has been created and now includes
documentation about:
* appletviewer
* gcjwebplugin
* jarsigner
* keytool
* Several new tools are now included:
* appletviewer
* jar
* native2ascii
* serialver
* keytool
* jarsigner
A new configure option --enable-tool-wrappers causes wrapper
binaries to be built for VMs that support the JNI Invocation API.
* javax.sound.midi providers have been added to read and
write standard MIDI files.
* A javax.sound.sampled .au and .wav file readers have been added.
* New Java Virtual Machine Tool Interface header, jvmti.h.
* AWT peers for X Windows based on Escher (a pure java X protocol
implementation) have been added. So far it supports AWT 1.1 style
Graphics, image loading via ImageIO (PNG, GIF and BMP images in this
release), top level components as well as mouse and keyboard input.
It is capable of running many Swing applications. Graphics2D and
AWT widgets are not yet supported with this peer set.
* GConf based util.peers backend (see the --enable-gconf-peer and
--enable-default-preferences-peer configure options).
* Support for batch importing trusted certificates for use with ssl
connections (see script/import-cacerts.sh).
* NIO scatter-gather channel support.
Runtime interface changes:
* A new class, VMURLConnection, is used to implement
URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromStream. The reference
implementation uses libmagic (and falls back to doing nothing if
libmagic is not available).
* The method gnu.java.io.PlatformHelper.toCanonicalForm() has been
replaced with a JNI implementation of VMFile.toCanonicalForm() for
GNU/Posix systems.
* A new class, VMRuntimeMXBeanImpl, is used to implement
the low-level support of the runtime management bean.
VMs should use it to supply the input arguments and start
time of the VM. In addition, one of sun.boot.class.path
or java.boot.class.path should be defined by the VM to
support the optional boot class path access functionality.
* The Unsafe class was moved back to the place expected by the JSR 166
reference implementation. We've also added a couple other new VM
classes to support the JSR 166 code -- sun.reflect.Reflection and
sun.reflect.misc.ReflectUtil.
* Another new class, VMClassLoadingMXBeanImpl, is used to implement
the low-level support of the class loading management bean.
VMs need to supply it with information about how many classes
are currently loaded, how many have been unloaded and whether
verbose class loading output is on or off. Provision should also
be made for the latter to be toggled at runtime.
* VMThreadMXBeanImpl is used to implement the low-level support
of the thread management bean. Providing this interface requires
providing a fair amount of information about threads, including
optional time and contention monitoring, and instances of the
new ThreadInfo class in java.lang.management. getState() has also
been added to the VMThread interface; this is required by the bean
as well as java.lang.Thread.
* VMMemoryMXBeanImpl is used to implement the low-level support
of the memory management bean. Providing this interface requires
providing information about the levels of heap and non-heap memory,
and the number of objects eligible for garbage collection.
* VMCompilationMXBeanImpl is used to allow for optional compilation
time support for Just-In-Time compilers.
* VMMemoryPoolMXBeanImpl is used to implement the low-level support
of the memory pool beans. Providing this interface requires
providing memory usage statistics for each supported bean.
* VMManagementFactory provides the names of the memory pools,
memory managers and garbage collectors maintained by the virtual
machine. These are used to create the beans by the ManagementFactory.
* VMMemoryManagerMXBeanImpl and VMGarbageCollectorMXBeanImpl provide
low-level support for memory managers (including the specific subclass
of garbage collecting memory managers). The interfaces for these
require no more than enumerating the number of collections and the
time spent (for garbage collectors) and a relationship to the memory
pools (for all), along with a validity check.
