"Your tests in configure to decide if you need each of the functions are
testing a different variable name from the one that gets set so you always
create an rfuncs.h that has all three definitions even if you dont need them,
which leads to problems on systems that provide some but not all of them
natively." Correction by Mark Davies.
* Polish translation updated, thanks to S. Mikula.
* Fixed bug that caused GetSize to abort thinking it failed when
it really didn't.
* New versions of autoconf and automake adopted.
* Improved handling of specific workspaces (WorkspaceSpecificBack
attribute), fixing segfaults and previews
* Panels are now shown sorted alphabetically instead of in the previous
haphazard order
Changes 2.9.1:
* Updated Danish translation (Morten Bo Johansen <mojo@image.dk>)
and German translation (Florian Ernst <florian@uni-hd.de>)
* Various segfaults fixed
* Fixed bug causing non-alphanumeric keyboard shortcuts to be ignored
* Fixed bug where middle and right mouse buttons were swapped in dialog
* Installing a theme now puts it in GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Themes
as one would expect
* New themes websites in "Themes" menu to replace those that have
ceased to exist
Available options are: sdl opengl esound.
sdl and opengl options are used to specify default display method, if
none of them is specified, x11 is used as before.
wistumbler2 in two packages: wistumbler2, with console support only,
and wistumbler2-gtk, with GTK2 and console support. This provides a
choice for users of binary packages and lets us catch build problems
in both cases during bulk builds.
While here, fix several issues:
- In the GTK case, depend on pkg-config, needed during the build.
- Patch files during pre-configure, not post-patch.
- Fix the CONF_FILES stuff; it was pointing to non-existent files.
- Reword DESCR.
Because of these changes, that affect the binary package, bump the revision
of wistumbler2 to 1, thus resulting in 2.00pre9nb1. The new wistumbler2-gtk
package is at version 2.00pre9.
slightly modified by me.
Bmon is an interface bandwidth monitor. It is able to generate and
draw three types of diagrams: The overview diagram which is a list of
all interfaces and their send/receive rates. A very MRTG like
graphical diagram in ASCII showing the rate over a specific time
period in a bar diagram. The details diagram which contains all
counters of an interface such as total bytes sent/received, errors,
compressed packets and so on.
Incompatible Changes
There are no changes incompatible with 5.8.4.
Core Enhancements
Perl's regular expression engine now contains support for matching on the intersection of two Unicode character classes. You can also now refer to user-defined character classes from within other user defined character classes.
Modules and Pragmata
* Carp improved to work nicely with Safe. Carp's message reporting should now be anomaly free - it will always print out line number information.
* CGI upgraded to version 3.05
* charnames now avoids clobbering $_
* Digest upgraded to version 1.08
* Encode upgraded to version 2.01
* FileCache upgraded to version 1.04
* libnet upgraded to version 1.19
* Pod::Parser upgraded to version 1.28
* Pod::Perldoc upgraded to version 3.13
* Pod::LaTeX upgraded to version 0.57
* Safe now works properly with Carp
* Scalar-List-Utils upgraded to version 1.14
* Shell's documentation has been re-written, and its historical partial auto-quoting of command arguments can now be disabled.
* Test upgraded to version 1.25
* Test::Harness upgraded to version 2.42
* Time::Local upgraded to version 1.10
* Unicode::Collate upgraded to version 0.40
* Unicode::Normalize upgraded to version 0.30
Utility Changes
Perl's debugger
The debugger can now emulate stepping backwards, by restarting and rerunning all bar the last command from a saved command history.
h2ph
h2ph is now able to understand a very limited set of C inline functions -- basically, the inline functions that look like CPP macros. This has been introduced to deal with some of the headers of the newest versions of the glibc. The standard warning still applies; to quote h2ph's documentation, you may need to dicker with the files produced.
Installation and Configuration Improvements
Perl 5.8.5 should build cleanly from source on LynxOS.
Selected Bug Fixes
* The in-place sort optimisation introduced in 5.8.4 had a bug. For example, in code such as
@a = sort ($b, @a)
the result would omit the value $b. This is now fixed.
* The optimisation for unnecessary assignments introduced in 5.8.4 could give spurious warnings. This has been fixed.
* Perl should now correctly detect and read BOM-marked and (BOMless) UTF-16 scripts of either endianness.
* Creating a new thread when weak references exist was buggy, and would often cause warnings at interpreter destruction time. The known bug is now fixed.
* Several obscure bugs involving manipulating Unicode strings with substr have been fixed.
* Previously if Perl's file globbing function encountered a directory that it did not have permission to open it would return immediately, leading to unexpected truncation of the list of results. This has been fixed, to be consistent with Unix shells' globbing behaviour.
* Thread creation time could vary wildly between identical runs. This was caused by a poor hashing algorithm in the thread cloning routines, which has now been fixed.
* The internals of the ithreads implementation were not checking if OS-level thread creation had failed. threads->create() now returns undef in if thead creation fails instead of crashing perl.
New or Changed Diagnostics
* Perl -V has several improvements
o correctly outputs local patch names that contain embedded code snippets or other characters that used to confuse it.
o arguments to -V that look like regexps will give multiple lines of output.
o a trailing colon suppresses the linefeed and ';' terminator, allowing embedding of queries into shell commands.
o a leading colon removes the 'name=' part of the response, allowing mapping to any name.
* When perl fails to find the specified script, it now outputs a second line suggesting that the user use the -S flag:
$ perl5.8.5 missing.pl
Can't open perl script "missing.pl": No such file or directory.
Use -S to search $PATH for it.
Changed Internals
The Unicode character class files used by the regular expression engine are now built at build time from the supplied Unicode consortium data files, instead of being shipped prebuilt. This makes the compressed Perl source tarball about 200K smaller. A side effect is that the layout of files inside lib/unicore has changed.
pkgsrc: fails the same test that 5.8.4 fails (sigaction).
Changes since 0.86:
- Everything from MAME 0.87 (http://x.mame.net/changes-mame.html) and
MESS 0.87 (http://x.mame.net/changes-mess.html).
- Reworked the video mode functions (Hans de Goede):
* Unified and moved the aspect ratio calculations from xgl, fx, and
x11_window to mode.c since all display targets that support
arbitrary scaling through hardware make use of this.
* Modified the code to use the aspect ratio supplied by the game
driver instead of doing all kinds of magic. This corrects, for
example, the aspect ratio of 1942.
* Added a new option, "-perfectaspect (-pa)", which automatically
sets yarbsize to honor the aspect ratio provided by the game
driver. This is disabled by default because it can cause scaling
artifacts.
* When video modes are matched, the aspect ratio is now taken into
account.
- Made changes to the X11 targets (Hans de Goede):
* Restored widthscale == 2 yuy2 code for perfect yuy2 blitting.
* Fixed a bug introduced by the aspect ratio patches which caused the
Xv fallback code to not detect an error case and crash later on
instead of falling back to MITSHM.
* The Xv window is now resized with the correct aspect ratio after a
user resize; this prevents black borders from appearing.
* Renamed "-perfect-yv12" to "-perfect-yuv".
* Enabled perfect blitting by default for yuy2, since it fixes the
ugly color bleeding in, for example, pacman.
* Fixed colors being way off in Xv for 15bpp direct games, e.g.,
vector games with artwork disabled.
* Current mouse values are now initialized in xinput_open, which
should fix the problem of the visor going to the lower right corner
in starwars when the video mode is switched from windowed X11 to
DGA fullscreen while the mouse is grabbed.
* Fixed the display of a 32bpp source on a 24bpp packed pixel window.
* Fixed a bug in the DGA2 target which caused it to throw an XError
when it failed to find a suitable mode, causing xmame to abort.
* XInput now maps controls to mice 2 - 5 and leaves mouse 1 free for
the default mouse. (Hans de Goede)
* Fixed a bug which caused the window to disappear with Xv windowed
mode under KDE.
- Added a missing "Rapid Fire" string to the configuration menu. This
fixes problems with the configuration of player controls. (Sylvain
Trosset)
- Cleaned up the sound code (Hans de Goede):
* Cleaned up the ALSA driver.
* The ALSA driver now reports the actual sample rate to the caller
rather than the requested one.
* Removed the "-alsa-pcm" command line option; the ALSA driver now
supports "-auviodevice (-ad)". (Hans de Goede)
* Removed "-fakesound (-fsnd)". Now sound is always faked since
certain games won't run without it.
* Changed the default sample rate to 44100, moving us into the
Third Millennium.
* Removed the "-[no]sound" option; if you really want to disable
sound, specify a bogus device with "-audiodevice".
- Removed the "-[no]mouse" option. (Hans de Goede)
- Split aspect and mode settings so that all targets can use the
aspect settings. (Hans de Goede)
- Fixed the mapping of analog sticks' min..max ranges to the core's
range. This fixes games that use analog controls, such as Out Run,
as well as the jittery movement of the mouse cursor in games such as
Missile Command.
- Audio should work much better on Mac OS X. (anonymous)
- The MMX assembly language version of the 6-tap filter now works for
16 and 32bpp source and destination bitmaps; previously, only the
32bpp screen depth was accelerated. (Richard Goedeken)
- Corrected some of the out-of-date information in the documentation.
Fixes Bugzilla bug 604.
- Light guns should work again. Also added support for the triggers on
an ACT LABS USB PC Monitor model that didn't work previously.
Sharpening images with traditional methods increases the amount of
noise in the image. This script implements a method to sharpen images
described by Joern Loviscach in the german computer magazine c't,
22/1999.
Basically it "squeezes" unsharp edges. This method is a simplified
