Library
- bpo-31715: Associate .mjs file extension with application/javascript MIME Type.
Build
- bpo-35499: make profile-opt no longer replaces CFLAGS_NODIST with CFLAGS. It now adds profile-guided optimization (PGO) flags to CFLAGS_NODIST: existing CFLAGS_NODIST flags are kept.

Python 3.7.2 release candidate 1
Security
- bpo-34812: The -I command line option (run Python in isolated mode) is now also copied by the multiprocessing and distutils modules when spawning child processes. Previously, only -E and -s options (enabled by -I) were copied.
- bpo-34791: The xml.sax and xml.dom.domreg no longer use environment variables to override parser implementations when sys.flags.ignore_environment is set by -E or -I arguments.

- bpo-10496: posixpath.expanduser() now returns the input path unchanged if the HOME environment variable is not set and the current user has no home directory (if the current user identifier doesn’t exist in the password database). This change fix the site module if the current user doesn’t exist in the password database (if the user has no home directory).
- bpo-35310: Fix a bug in select.select() where, in some cases, the file descriptor sequences were returned unmodified after a signal interruption, even though the file descriptors might not be ready yet. select.select() will now always return empty lists if a timeout has occurred. Patch by Oran Avraham.

- bpo-35226: Recursively check arguments when testing for equality of unittest.mock.call objects and add note that tracking of parameters used to create ancestors of mocks in mock_calls is not possible.
- bpo-29564: The warnings module now suggests to enable tracemalloc if the source is specified, the tracemalloc module is available, but tracemalloc is not tracing memory allocations.

- bpo-34936: Fix TclError in tkinter.Spinbox.selection_element(). Patch by Juliette Monsel.
- bpo-34866: Adding max_num_fields to cgi.FieldStorage to make DOS attacks harder by limiting the number of MiniFieldStorage objects created by FieldStorage.
- bpo-34022: The SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable no longer overrides the value of the invalidation_mode argument to py_compile.compile(), and determines its default value instead.

0.3.1:
- Bugfixes in the diff parser and keyword-only arguments
0.3.0:
- Rewrote the pgen2 parser generator.
0.2.1:
- A bugfix for the diff parser.
- Grammar files can now be loaded from a specific path.
0.2.0:
- f-strings are now parsed as a part of the normal Python grammar. This makes
it way easier to deal with them.
0.1.1:
- Fixed a few bugs in the caching layer
- Added support for Python 3.7
Pkgsrc changes:
* Sadly, I had to reinstate the "make tar files" rust code to make
it possible to build cross-compiled bootstrap kits.
* Add an adjustable "BUILD_TARGET", "dist" for cross-building
a bootstrap kit, "build" for a normal native build.
* New bootstrap kits built for NetBSD/powerpc, NetBSD/earmv7hf,
and NetBSD/sparc64 version 1.31.1.
* gcc-wrap script amended to also drop -Wl,--enable-new-dtags
(so it could be used outside pkgsrc)
* Worked around use of AtomicU64 in release build tool (ugly band-aid patch).
Some platforms lack support for that type and associated operations.

CHICKEN is a Scheme-to-C compiler supporting most of the language
features as defined in the Revised^5 Report on Scheme. CHICKEN
generates quite portable C code, and files compiled by it (including
itself) should work without any changes on most platforms.
The whole package is distributed under a BSD license and as such free
to use and modify as long as you adhere to its terms (see the manual).
Linkage to C modules and C-library functions is straightforward, so
it's easy to access C from Scheme. Compiled code can be embedded into
existing C programs without problems. The generated code supports
full tail-recursion, first-class continuations, multiple values and
dynamic-wind.
Changes since chicken-4.13.0:
5.0.0
-----
- Runtime system
- Added support for the full numeric tower, including various new
procedures taken from the "numbers" egg. All calculations will
now return exact numbers where possible, so code relying on flonums
being returned may need to be changed if rational numbers do not
provide the desired performance.
- Port directionality has been generalized from a simple input/output
flag to a bitmap, to allow for multidirectional ports.
- Weak symbol GC is faster, simpler, and can now collect all
unreferenced symbols instead of a maximum of 997 per major GC.
- The -:w option has been removed; symbols are now always collected.
- Increased the "binary compatibility version" to 9.
- Continuations which discard additional values beyond the first now
also accept multiple values via direct invocation after being
captured through `call/cc`, not just via `values` (#1390)
- Removed the deprecated C_locative_ref and C_mutate2 C functions.
- The trace buffer no longer holds on to thread objects, allowing them to
be garbage collected sooner (#1356, thanks to Kristian Lein-Mathisen)
- On Cygwin and MinGW, the "build-platform" now corresponds to the
tool chain used (gnu, clang, unknown) like on *nix, while the
software-version is now "cygwin" or "mingw32" instead of "unknown".
This also means the features list will now contain the tool chain
on all platforms.
- Symbols starting with #% are no longer treated specially and need
to be quoted with pipes. This makes the "%" sign available for use
in custom/user-defined sharp-sign read syntax.
- Compiler
- Fixed an off by one allocation problem in generated C code for (list ...).
- The "-scrutinize" compiler option has been removed.
- The "-module" compiler option (aliased as "-m") now expects a module name.
- The generated C output of the compiler is now deterministic: it
will be bit-for-bit identical when compiling the same Scheme file
with the same version of the compiler.
- the "-consult-type-file" and "-emit-type-file" options have been renamed
to "-consult-types-file" and "-emit-types-file", respectively.
- Tools
- The new "-link" option to csc allows linking with objects from extensions.
- The new "-libdir" option to csc allows overriding the runtime library
directory.
- The ambiguous "-l<libname>" option for csc has been removed (#1193).
- Removed deprecated "-n" shorthand for "-emit-inline-file" from csc.
- Removed "chicken-bug" tool.
- Core libraries
- Removed support for memory-mapped files (posix), queues
(data-structures), binary-search (data-structures), scan-input-lines
(utils), group-information (posix) object-eviction (lolevel), and
compile-file (utils). These are now available as eggs.
- Removed the srfi-1, srfi-13, srfi-14, srfi-18, srfi-69, and utils
units. These are now available as eggs.
- Added the `executable-pathname` procedure for retrieving a path to
the currently-running executable.
- Removed all support for SWIG.
- Removed interrupts-enabled declaration specifier.
- `sleep` now suspends the current thread when threading is enabled,
otherwise it sleeps the process. The new `process-sleep` procedure
in unit posix can be used to sleep the process unconditionally.
- `with-error-output-to-port' from the ports module has been renamed
to the more common `with-error-to-port', and `with-error-to-string'
has been added for completeness (thanks to Michael Silver).
- A new `make-bidirectional-port' procedure has been added to the
ports unit that will combine separate input- and output- ports into
a single bidirectional port.
- New `input-port-open?` and `output-port-open?` procedures have been
added for testing whether a port is open in a specific direction.
- An `include-relative` form has been added to the (chicken base) module.
This works like `load-relative` but for textual inclusion.
- Keywords are now always written in "portable" style by WRITE, so
that the reader's keyword style doesn't need to match the writer's.
- The environment variable `CHICKEN_PREFIX` has been removed.
- Added the `glob->sre` procedure to the irregex library.
- Removed the `get-host-name' and `system-information' procedures.
These are available in the "system-information" egg.
- Removed the `eval-when`, `select` and `ensure` macros. These are
available in the "miscmacros" egg.
- Removed the require-extension-for-syntax macro.
- Renamed bit-set? to bit->boolean because of swapped argument order
with respect to SRFI-33 and SRFI-60, which was confusing (fixes
#1385, thanks to Lemonboy).
- file-{read,write,execute}-access will now raise an exception when
the file doesn't exist or some other non-access related problem is
detected (fixes#1386, thanks to Vasilij Schneidermann).
- `change-file-mode` was renamed to set-file-permissions! and SRFI-17
generalized set! support has been added for `file-permissions`.
This procedure now also accepts a file descriptor or a port.
- `file-permissions` now returns one value: the permission integer.
- `read-file` has been renamed to `read-list`.
- `read-all` was dropped, as `read-string` with #f as its NUM argument
is equivalent.
- `read-lines` and `read-all` no longer accept a string naming a file,
only ports.
- The procedures for random numbers have been reimplemented;
access to system-specific entropy is available, together with a reasonably
good pseudo random number generator (WELL512).
- `glob` now returns an empty list for non-existent or inaccessible
directories, instead of erroring out.
- `file-copy' and `file-move' have been renamed to `copy-file' and
`move-file', for consistency with `delete-file' and `rename-file'.
- `rename-file' now refuses to overwrite an existing file unless an
optional "clobber" argument is provided.
- The `r4rs` module no longer exports `eval`, which was not in R4RS.
- `process`, `process*` and `process-execute` now expect lists of the form
(("NAME" . "VALUE") ...) instead of the previous (("NAME=VALUE") ...)
as their environment argument.
- `repository-path` is now a parameter containing a list of strings instead
of a string, as the search path for libraries can now contain multiple
directories.
- `file-read-access?`, `file-write-access?` and `file-execute-access?` have
been renamed `file-readable?`, `file-writable?` and `file-executable?`
into the (chicken file) module.
- Module system
- The compiler has been modularised, for improved namespacing. This
means names from the compiler should not leak out into the compiled
program's (macro) namespace anymore.
- The core units have been converted to modules under the "chicken"
namespace.
- Added support for list-style library names.
- The "use" and "use-for-syntax" special forms have been removed
in favor of "import" and "import-for-syntax" to reduce confusion.
- Module imports are now lexically scoped: identifiers provided by
an (import ...) inside (let ...) won't be visible outside that let.
- Modules implementing an interface can now correctly export extra
identifiers (bug reported by Martin Schneeweis, fix by "megane").
- Syntax expander
- Removed support for (define-syntax (foo e r c) ...), which was
undocumented and not officially supported anyway.
- Removed support for normal "lambda" forms as syntax transformers,
which has been deprecated since 4.8.0.
- define and friends are now aggressively rejected in "expression
contexts" (i.e., anywhere but toplevel or as internal defines).
- define-record and define-record-type now create record types
which are tagged with the module in which they're defined, so
predicates no longer return #t for records with the same tag
defined in another module. This tag is now also available under
an identifier that matches the record type name (fixes#1342).
- `include` now splices included expressions in the context in which
the inclusion appears and does not treat the expressions as toplevel
expressions by default.
- Eggs management
- Egg-installation and building has been completely overhauled.
- .meta + .setup files have been merged into a single declarative
".egg" file.
- More static checks for egg descriptions, simplified generation
of OS-specific build + install commands that is (hopefully)
more practical for package maintainers.
- Egg sources are cached locally to reduce download and rebuild
times.
- Dropped many obscure or unimportant options and features from
`chicken-install`: (`-keep-installed`, `-reinstall`, `-proxy`,
`-no-install`, `-username`, `-password`, `-init`, `-deploy`,
`-keep-going`, `-scan`, `-csi`, `-show-depends`, `-show-foreign-depends`,
`-prefix`.
- Added new "-from-list" option to chicken-install.
- Eggs can now be installed and located in multiple directories,
using the `CHICKEN_REPOSITORY_PATH` +
`CHICKEN_INSTALL_REPOSITORY`
environment variables.
- Static compilation of eggs is now fully supported and static
versions of compiled eggs are available by default.
- In a statically built chicken, the egg-tools ("chicken-install", "...-status",
"...-uninstall") are still available, but only support static compilation
of eggs.
- Foreign function interface
- The foreign type specifier "ssize_t" is now accepted, and "size_t"
arguments now only accept positive integers. Return values of
type size_t are no longer truncated on 32-bit platforms.

Add PHP 7.3.0 as php73.
PHP is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language
that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded
into HTML. It is modular, and object-oriented. Much of its syntax
is borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific
features thrown in. The language is designed to allow web developers
to write dynamically generated pages quickly.
This package provides PHP version 7.3.x.
PHP 7.3.0 comes with numerous improvements and new features such as
* Flexible Heredoc and Nowdoc Syntax
* PCRE2 Migration
* Multiple MBString Improvements
* LDAP Controls Support
* Improved FPM Logging
* Windows File Deletion Improvements
* Several Deprecations
For source downloads of PHP 7.3.0 please visit our downloads page Windows
binaries can be found on the PHP for Windows site. The list of changes is
recorded in the ChangeLog.

New Features

➜ Support for Customization of Default Enabled Cipher Suites via System Properties
The system property jdk.tls.client.cipherSuites can be used to customize the default enabled cipher suites for the client side of SSL/TLS connections. In a similar way, the system property jdk.tls.server.cipherSuites can be used for customization on the server side.
The system properties contain a comma-separated list of supported cipher suite names that specify the default enabled cipher suites. All other supported cipher suites are disabled for this default setting. Unrecognized or unsupported cipher suite names specified in properties are ignored. Explicit setting of enabled cipher suites will override the system properties.
Please refer to the "Java Cryptography Architecture Standard Algorithm Name Documentation" for the standard JSSE cipher suite names, and the "Java Cryptography Architecture Oracle Providers Documentation" for the cipher suite names supported by the SunJSSE provider.
Note that the actual use of enabled cipher suites is restricted by algorithm constraints.
Note also that these system properties are currently supported by the JDK Reference Implementation. They are not guaranteed to be supported by other implementations.
Warning: These system properties can be used to configure weak cipher suites, or the configured cipher suites may become more weak over time. We do not recommend using the system properties unless you understand the security implications. Use them at your own risk.
See JDK-8162362

CVE-2018-13785
CVE-2018-3136
CVE-2018-3139
pkgsrc changes:
- Add patches/patch-src_os_pl-files.c to avoid overlapping `src'
and `dst' in srtcpy(3). It is an undefined behaviour and it leads to build
issue in swi-prolog-packages on platforms that uses SSP.
- readline dependency is no longer needed for swi-prolog-lite.
The readline functionality is now provided as a package via
swi-prolog-packages.
- Inject CFLAGS via COFLAGS and pass -fPIC via CMFLAGS so that
swi-prolog-jpl will link
- Add patches/patch-src_pl-rsort.c to use FreeBSD qsort_r(3)
instead of using nested functions. This is probably more portable
and has less problems (e.g. does not need for PaX MPROTECT).
Changes:
7.6.x
-----
Major release. Multi-argument indexing, better multi-threaded
performance, threaded global GC (atoms and clauses), mode-directed
tabling, restored same expand and directive semantics for initial
load and reloading files, cleaner initializatin and command line
handling.
7.4.x
-----
Major release. More robust and better scalable support for multi-core
hardware, tabling, engines. Many enhancements to the RDF, HTTP and
SSL libraries. This is the first release licensed under the Simplified
BSD (BSD-2) license.
7.2.x
-----
Major release, providing native key-value support by means of dicts,
native strings using "hello world" syntax, web-accessible Prolog
engines (Pengines) and a high level SQL library called CQL.
