at least as auto-generated doc
Changes 2.4.2:
Logging:
* pprint.pformat() is now used when writing method/function
arguments to the trace log
ldap.schema.subentry:
* SubSchema.__init__() now has new key-word argument check_uniqueness
which enables checking whether OIDs are unique in the subschema subentry
* Code-cleaning: consequent use of method SubSchema.getoid() instead of
accessing SubSchema.name2oid directly.
* SubSchema.getoid() and SubSchema.getoid() now have key-word argument
raise_keyerror=0 and raise KeyError with appropriate description.
* The undocumented --all option for perror is deprecated and will be removed in
MySQL 5.6.
Bugs Fixed:
* InnoDB Storage Engine: A failed CREATE INDEX operation for an InnoDB table
could result in some memory being allocated and not freed. This memory leak
could affect tables created with the ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC and
ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED settings.
* Partitioning: Auto-increment columns of partitioned tables were checked even
when they were not being written to. In debug builds, this could lead to a
crash of the server.
* Partitioning: The UNIX_TIMESTAMP() function was not treated as a monotonic
function for purposes of partition pruning.
* Replication: If a LOAD DATA INFILE statement—replicated using statement-based
replication—featured a SET clause, the name-value pairs were regenerated
using a method (Item::print()) intended primarily for generating output for
statements such as EXPLAIN EXTENDED, and which cannot be relied on to return
valid SQL. This could in certain cases lead to a crash on the slave.
* To fix this problem, we now name each value in its original, user-supplied
form, and use that to create LOAD DATA INFILE statements for statement-based
replication.
* Previously, an inappropriate error message was produced if a multiple-table
update for an InnoDB table with a clustered primary key would update a table
through multiple aliases, and perform an update that may physically move the
row in at least one of these aliases. Now the error message is: Primary
key/partition key update is not allowed since the table is updated both as
'tbl_name1' and 'tbl_name2'
* ALTER TABLE {MODIFY|CHANGE} ... FIRST did nothing except rename columns if
the old and new versions of the table had exactly the same structure with
respect to column data types. As a result, the mapping of column name to
column data was incorrect. The same thing happened for ALTER TABLE DROP
COLUMN, ADD COLUMN statements intended to produce a new version of table with
exactly the same structure as the old version.
* Incorrect handling of metadata locking for FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK for
statements requiring prelocking caused two problems:
* Execution of any data-changing statement that required prelocking (that is,
involved a stored function or trigger) as part of transaction slowed down
somewhat all subsequent statements in the transaction. Performance in a
transaction that periodically involved such statements gradually degraded
over time.
Changes:
- quoted translate command string
- quote of tmpfname for coping with spaces in filenames
- added -a option
- changed handling of hiresBB (now rounded to hiresprecision, by default 0.5pt)
- added %%BeginData %%EndData as indicators for Binary Section
- added new option -b (treat as binary) to prevent filtering CR/LF stuff
- fixed help/usage formatting output
* Compiling OpenMP support (--enable-openmp) now installs a fftw3_omp library,
instead of fftw3_threads, so that OpenMP and POSIX threads (--enable-threads)
libraries can be built and installed at the same time.
* Various minor compilation fixes, corrections of manual typos, and
improvements to the benchmark test program.
* Add support for the AVX extensions to x86 and x86-64. The AVX code works with
16-byte alignment (as opposed to 32-byte alignment), so there is no ABI
change compared to FFTW 3.2.2.
* Added Fortran 2003 interface, which should be usable on most modern Fortran
compilers (e.g. gfortran) and provides type-checked access to the the C FFTW
interface. (The legacy Fortran-77 interface is still included also.)
* Added MPI distributed-memory transforms. Compared to 3.3alpha, the major
changes in the MPI transforms are:
* Fixed some deadlock and crashing bugs.
* Added Fortran 2003 interface.
* Added new-array execute functions for MPI plans.
* Eliminated use of large MPI tags, since Cray MPI requires tags < 224.
* Expanded documentation.
* make check now runs MPI tests
* Some ABI changes — not binary-compatible with 3.3alpha MPI.
* Add support for quad-precision __float128 in gcc 4.6 or later (on x86.
x86-64, and Itanium). The new routines use the fftwq_ prefix.
* Temporarily removed MIPS paired-single support due to lack of available
hardware for testing. We hope to add it back before the final FFTW 3.3
release; meanwhile, users who want this functionality should continue using
FFTW 3.2.x.
* Removed support for the Cell Broadband Engine. Cell users should use FFTW
3.2.x.
* New convenience functions fftw_alloc_real and fftw_alloc_complex to use
fftw_malloc for real and complex arrays without typecasts or sizeof.
Changes:
* xetex.ch (pack_buffered_name): Adapt to modified ../tex.ch.
(read_font_info): Cast print_c_string() arg to string.
* xetex.ch: Reformulate to not depend on eTeX_version_string.
* XeTeXFontInst.h: Fix prototype for xmalloc().
* XeTeXFontMgr_FC.cpp, XeTeX_ext.c: Move (nested) extern
declaration of gFreeTypeLibrary from here ...
* XeTeX_ext.h: ... to here.
* XeTeXOTLayoutEngine.{cpp,h}: Drop support for ICU < 4.2.
Changes:
- luatex now uses the standard synctex files.
- The default form margin is now zero (was 1bp before).
- New function node.currentattr() queries the current active attribute list.
- Lua font loading; ignore unknown enumeration keys in MathConstants.
- JPEG 2000 image support.
- Bug fixes.
Changes:
* Trailing comments and whitespace omitted from config values.
* Add .tlu to type lua suffixes, and .dfont to truetype suffixes.
* Prefix program_invocation{,_short}_name with kpse_.
* Finally remove kpse_set_progname (deprecated since 1998).
Also fixed INSTALL_PROGRAM patch to not break install-sh.
