up front, which isn't completely useless, they should at least match
the ones on the parent package.)

in the stack correctly in that case. Still fails somewhere in the middle
of the regression tests, but much much farther in.

new enough for pango.
While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.

User visible changes
--------------------
* New command line option -disable-readline lets working around bugs and
incompatibilities between readline CLISP was built against and the
library actually installed.

See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/dffi.html#dffi-open-lib> for details.
* New user variable CUSTOM:*USER-LIB-DIRECTORY* is respected by REQUIRE

* The replacement value entered by the user in STORE-VALUE and USE-VALUE
restarts is now EVALuated.
* The old user variable CUSTOM:*PRINT-CLOSURE* now controls interpreted

(Older versions are, of course, still supported).
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/readline-mod.html> for details.

* Bug fixes:
+ Do not eliminate function calls which are advertised to have
exceptional situation in unsafe code (bug#2868166).

* ANSI compliance:
+ Implement the ANSI issue COMPILER-DIAGNOSTICS:USE-HANDLER: use the
CL Condition System for compiler diagnostics.
+ STREAM-ELEMENT-TYPE on empty CONCATENATED-STREAMs now returns NIL
because nothing can be read from such streams (bug#3014921).
Important notes
---------------
* Multiple threads of execution are now experimentally supported
(not ready for prime time yet).
Thanks to Vladimir Tzankov <vtzankov@gm...>.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/mt.html> for details.
* Module libsvm has been upgraded to the upstream version 2.89.

* Module readline now supports readline 6.0.
(older versions 5.* are, of course, still supported).
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/readline-mod.html> for details.
* Passing :EXECUTABLE 0 to EXT:SAVEINITMEM results in an executable
image which delegates processing of all the usual CLISP command line
options to the :INIT-FUNCTION.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/image.html> for details.
* Driver clisp accepts "-b" to print the installation directory.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/clisp.html#opt-printlibdir> for details.
* Add file clisp.m4 so that the packages which use CLISP can check
whether it is properly installed and has the required version.
* POSIX:COPY-FILE now accepts :METHOD :HARDLINK-OR-COPY.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/syscalls.html#copy-file> for details.
* New function POSIX:WAIT calls waitpid or wait4.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/syscalls.html#wait> for details.
* New function EXT:TRIM-IF removes leading and trailing matches.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/seq-func-ext.html#trim-if> for
details.
* New user command "LocalSymbols" (abbreviated ":ls").
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/repl.html#debugger-main-deb-step>
for details.
* Commands "add" and "create" replace "add-module-set", "add-module-sets" and
"create-module-set" in clisp-link.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/modules.html#clisp-link> for details.
* Bug fixes:
+ Better support of :START and :END arguments in NEW-CLX. [ 2159172 ]
+ Fix LOAD-LOGICAL-PATHNAME-TRANSLATIONS when *LOAD-PATHS* contains
wild pathnames (introduced in 2.47). [ 2198109 ]
+ Module NEW-CLX now has the XLIB:QUEUE-EVENT function,
implemented by Philippe Brochard <hocwp@fr...>.
+ Extend the domain of LOG to larger BIGNUMs and RATIOs. [ 1007358 ]
+ Avoid a segfault on (EXPT <HUGE> <HUGE>). [ 2807311 ]
+ Fix interaction of finalizers and weak objects. [ 1472478 ]
* ANSI compliance:
+ Implement the ANSI (IGNORE #'FUNCTION) declaration.
* New module DBUS interfaces to the D-Bus message bus system.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/dbus.html> for details.
* New function EXT:PROBE-PATHNAME can figure out whether the existing
pathname refers to a file or a directory.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/files.html#probe-path> for details.
* New function EXT:CANONICALIZE lets you easily canonicalize a value
before processing it.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/macros3.html#canonicalize> for details.
* New user variable CUSTOM:*REOPEN-OPEN-FILE* controls CLISP behavior
when opening an already open file.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/open.html#reopen> for details.
* New SETFable function OS:FILE-SIZE extends FILE-LENGTH to pathname
designators and lets you change file size.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/syscalls.html#file-size> for details.
New function OS:USER-SHELLS returns the list of legal user shells.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/syscalls.html#user-shells> for details.
New SETFable functions OS:HOSTID and OS:DOMAINNAME.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/syscalls.html#hostid> for details.
* Module readline has been upgraded to readline 5.2
(older versions 5.0 and 5.1 are, of course, still supported).
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/readline-mod.html> for details.
* LOAD now uses DIRECTORY only for wild *LOAD-PATHS* components, thus
speeding up the most common cases and preventing the denial-of-service
attack whereas CLISP would not start if a file with a name
incompatible with *PATHNAME-ENCODING* is present in USER-HOMEDIR-PATHNAME.
* ROOM now prints some GC statistics and returns the same values as GC.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/environment-enq.html#room> for details.
* New user variable CUSTOM:*HTTP-LOG-STREAM* controls EXT:OPEN-HTTP logging.
See <http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/macros3.html#http-log-stream> for details.
* Bug fixes:
+ Comparison of floats and rationals never underflows. [ 2014262 ]
+ When failing to convert a huge LONG-FLOAT to a RATIONAL, signal an
ARITHMETIC-ERROR instead of blowing the stack. [ 2015118 ]
+ Restored TYPECODES g++ compilation [ 2015118 ], which allowed fixing
a few GC-safety bugs.
+ Fixed a segfault when signaling some UNBOUND-VARIABLE errors in some
interpreted code on MacOS X (introduced in 2.46). [ 2020784 ]
Thanks to Vladimir Tzankov <vtzankov@gmail.com>.
+ Fixed input after switching a :DOS stream to binary. [ 2022362 ]

+ Fix timeout precision in NEW-CLX. [ 2188102 ]
* ANSI compliance:
+ The sets of declaration and type names are disjoint.
+ FLET, LABELS and MACROLET respect declarations.
