twiddles and additions. For a complete list, see plt/notes/mzscheme/HISTORY
This is a bug-fix release for Python 2.3 that fixes a number of bugs,
including a couple of serious errors with weakrefs and the cyclic garbage
collector. There are also a number of fixes to the standard library
- see the release notes ( http://www.python.org/2.3.3/NEWS.html )for details.
which is now causing the build to fail on Solaris since -r1.130 of
that file.
Bump PKGREVISION for Solaris installations which previously had the
package installed correctly, but with a different RUBY_ARCHLIBDIR
location.
XXX: Package fails the same regression test 1.6.3 failed (scfi-19).
Changes since Guile 1.6.3 (i.e. changes for 1.6.4):
* Changes to the distribution
** Various architecture (and compiler optimization) related bugs fixed.
These changes should improve the situation on at least ia64, alpha,
and powerpc.
* Changes to the stand-alone interpreter
** Readline prompt problem fixed.
Previously, the readline prompt disappeared when running Guile in
non-echoing terminal mode (for example under GDB in Emacs). This has
been fixed.
** Printing bug fixed.
Previously, the state of writingp in the print state could be altered
by recursive calls to printing functions.
** Append mode in hooks.
Append mode in hooks (adding the hook last in the list) now works
correctly.
** GOOPS/GC bug fixed.
The class layout slot, which informs the GC about which slots to GC
protect, is now initialized correctly.
** GOOPS class redefinition bug fixed.
The class redefinition protocol now properly removes the old accessor
methods from their accessors.
** GOOPS method dispatch bug fixed.
Previously, the code updating the method cache in generic functions
got confused if handed method code created in a null environment
(environment = empty list). It now stands every environment
imaginable (think about it!).
** GOOPS init-thunks can now be primitive procedures
Previously, attempts to provide something else than a closure as value
for the #:init-thunk slot option would yield a segmentation fault.
Now, it's possible to supply a primitive procedure as init-thunk.
Non-allowed values result in an error.
** Garbage collection frequency improved for large malloc heaps
The decision when to run the GC is now done in a way that avoids GCs
with a small yield for heaps with a large amount of malloced storage.
The minimum expected yield for malloc storage is now relative to the
heap size, and not a fixed amount as it was previously.
* Changes to Scheme functions and syntax
** %fast-slot-ref no longer checks slot boundness
This makes the <active-class> metaclass in (oop goops active-slot)
working again.
** eqv? and equal? are now primitive generic functions
This means that it is possible to provide custom comparisons for new
classes by specializing `eqv?' and `equal?' to those classes.
* Changes to the C interface
** New snarf macros: SCM_PRIMITIVE_GENERIC, SCM_PRIMITIVE_GENERIC_1
These provide a way of adding primitive generics which is equivalent
to SCM_DEFINE and SCM_DEFINE1.
New Features:
* An extension type can inherit from another built-in or extension type.
* Extension types can have properties.
* Extension types can have C methods.
Numerous bugs have also been fixed - see the CHANGES file for details.

User-visible changes between 0.6.1 and 0.6.2:
Bug fixes (in particular, gforth-0.6.2 compiles with gcc-3.3)
New words: LATEST, LATESTXT (LASTXT deprecated)
Operating environment: Added optional support for a C interface built
on the ffcall libraries (more portable and powerful than the old
one, but still not documented). To use it, the ffcall libraries
have to be installed before building Gforth (see INSTALL).
Miscellaneous: Gforth-fast now uses static superinstructions (some
speedup on some platforms); generally this is transparent (apart
from the speedup), but there are lots of command-line options for
controlling the static superinstruction generation.
User-visible changes between 0.6.0 and 0.6.1:
Bug fixes (installation on big-endian machines sometimes did not work)
User-visible changes between 0.5.0 and 0.6.0:
Changes in behaviour:
S": interpreted use now ALLOCATEs the string (they live until BYE).
Long word names (512MB on 32-bit systems) are now supported (change to
the header format).
New threaded code execution method: primitive-centric (allows the
following), hybrid direct/indirect threaded (easier portability),
with dynamic superinstructions (typical speedup on Athlon: factor
2). New engine gforth-itc for dealing with some potential
backwards-compatibility problems (see "Direct or Indirect Threaded?"
in the manual).
Operating environment:
Default dictionary size is now 4MB.
Large file support on OSs that support them (i.e., files with more
than 2GB on 32-bit machines).
Gforth can now deal well with broken pipes in most situations.
vi tags files can be built with tags.fs (usage like etags.fs).
gforth.el mostly rewritten.
New image file format.
New words:
Keyboard input: EDIT-LINE K-PRIOR K-NEXT K-DELETE
File input: SLURP-FILE SLURP-FID
Programming tools: ID. .ID WORDLIST-WORDS SIMPLE-SEE
Conditional execution: [DEFINED] [UNDEFINED]
Defining Words: CONST-DOES> ]]
Input stream: PARSE-WORD EXECUTE-PARSING EXECUTE-PARSING-FILE
String comparison: STR= STR< STRING-PREFIX?
String literals: S\" .\" \"-PARSE
Floating point output: F.RDP F>STR-RDP F>BUF-RDP
Miscellaneous:
Generalized prims2x.fs into Vmgen (see README.vmgen etc.); used the
new capabilities in prims (e.g., automatic handling of the return
stack and instruction stream).
from Christian Limpach wrt to signal handling.
Pull in FreeBSD fixes from the FreeBSD port and disable pthread for
NetBSD and FreeBSD for libgc.
Fix a sysconfdir related path problem.
