If it specified, it modify gemspec's dependency using update-gemspec.rb
Ruby script.
The goal is avoid to use patch for modifying depending version or gem's
name since gemspec files' content differ using rubygem's version.
move PKGREVISION to each Makefile including the Makefile.common for
keep version number, and bump again for ocaml-graphics because the
previous bump resuited in downgrade.
* Several modules were updated to fix minor bugs.
* Tests were fixed.
* Documentation was improved.
Changes 5.14.0:

* Other enhancements and many bug fixes were made
PkgSrc:
* Fixed configuring on Mac OS X 10.7.
From upstream comment:
nm isn't known to work after Snow Leopard and XCode 4; testing with OS X 10.5
and Xcode 3 shows a working nm, but pretending it doesn't work produces no
problems.
From upstream commit log:
Testing from 10.5 with Xcode 3 to the latest OS X works with usenm='false' but
not always with usenm='true'
Changes in version 5.1.1, May 2011:
Enabled single-precision floats by default
Added single-flonum?
Changed eqv? so that inexacts are equivalent only when they
have the same precision
Changed file-or-directory-permission to add 'bits mode
and permission-setting mode
Added special treatment of void as an 'inferred-name property
Removed the "MrEd" compatability executable under Windows
and Mac OS X, but the "mred" compatibility script remains

Renamed "proxy" to "impersonator"
Added current-get-interaction-input-port, which enables
racket/gui events to be dispatched while a REPL is blocked
Changed equal? to equate C pointers when they refer to the
same address
Internal: weak boxes are cleared before non-will-like
finalizers; use late-weak boxes to get the old behavior
Changes in version 5.0.2, October 2010
Changed body of `when', `unless', `cond' clauses, `case'
clauses, and `match' clauses to be internal-definition contexts
Swapped unsafe-vector*-ref with unsafe-vector-ref, etc.
Added ->i to the contract library, improved ->*, adding #:pre and
#:post, as well as making the optional arguments clause optional.

Added proxies to go with chaperones, and renamed chaperone property
as proxy property; beware that the word "proxy" will change in
a future version, perhaps to "impersonator"
Added collection-file-path and collection splicing at the file
level
Upstream changes:
- Core
+ Parrot_PMC_destroy, Parrot_PMC_mark and Parrot_PMC_invoke were removed from
the public extension API.
+ PAST now has PAST::Stmt node types, supports reusable temporary registers.
+ Test coverage of the embedding and extending interface is now at least 95%.

+ Winxed
- Improved compile time scope search.
- Added 'using namespace' statement.
- Compiler classes and functions now live in the Winxed;Compiler namespace.
- Tests
+ The Parrot test suite harness now understands the HARNESS_TIMER
environment variable. Setting it to a true value will show timing results
for a test run.
+ IPv6 tests are now parallel testing friendly.
It was really needed by devel/ruby-railties, sigh.

$ cd work/ocaml-3.12.0/testsuite && gmake one DIR=tests/lib-dynlink-native
(Not in a build-env because that uses the wrappers, which don't let the
test suite see the installed OCaml files.)
This is only a workaround on NetBSD/{i386,amd64} for the problems of
OCaml PR#5049 <http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=5049>. (E.g.,
this workaround makes Coccinelle build on those platforms -- but it
still won't build on platforms with native compilation but no native
dynamic loading. Need to hack everything that uses dynlink to have
four compile-time cases -- {yes,no} {byte,nat}dynlink.)
John Marino per PM
-deal with possibly builtin gmp/mpfr/mpc libs (this is incomplete
for D'fly -- choices are to convert the pre-configure test or
to set USE_BUILTIN.x=no)
This is the list of problem reports (PRs) from GCC's bug tracking
system that are known to be fixed in the 4.5.3 release. This list
might not be complete (that is, it is possible that some PRs that
have been fixed are not listed here):
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&resolution=FIXED&target_milestone=4.5.3
On the PowerPC compiler, the altivec builtin functions vec_ld and
vec_st have been modified to generate the Altivec memory instructions
LVX and STVX, even if the -mvsx option is used. In the initial GCC
4.5 release, these builtin functions were changed to generate VSX
memory reference instructions instead of Altivec memory instructions,
but there are differences between the two instructions. If the VSX
instruction set is available, you can now use the new builtin
functions vec_vsx_ld and vec_vsx_st which always generates the VSX
memory instructions.
There was incompatible result by previous fix and it should be gone away.
Beside ths security fix, ${PREFIX}/bin/phar.phar has correct shbang line.
Bump PKGREVISION.
* Include XML_Util 1.2.1 which should be included from 1.9.0.

I had been using this for at least 18 months on various platforms
including with some modules.
(This work was done via wip, but I had custom patches too for lang/python.)
for some systems that have older openssl. (The Makefile
part was already there but was unused.)
Also replace interpreter for all scripts.
This caused the build attempt to rebuild opcode_targets.h. But
that uses "python" which does not exist yet.
If the package needs newer version in ruby{18,19}-base, set
RUBY_RDOC_REQD to minimum rdoc's version. ruby{18,19}-base have
these versions.
ruby18-base: rdoc 1.0.1
ruby19-base: rdoc 2.5.8
A package RUBY_RDOC_REQD set and built with devel/ruby-rdoc, it
will be also depends devel/ruby-rdoc package not only build time.
Because, files generated by rdoc commands of devel/ruby-rdoc may
not usable with ri commands in ruby{18,19}-base.

Mac OS X and FreeBSD to reduce the chances of a crash instead of a
"maximum recursion depth" RuntimeError exception.

clear the end-of-file indicator after CTRL+d.
- Issue #8651: PyArg_Parse*() functions raise an OverflowError if the file
doesn't have PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN define and the size doesn't fit in an int
(length bigger than 2^31-1 bytes).
- Issue #8651: Fix "z#" format of PyArg_Parse*() function: the size was not
written if PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN is defined.

chars (e.g. u"\U00012345"[0]).
- Issue #11650: PyOS_StdioReadline() retries fgets() if it was interrupted
(EINTR), for example if the program is stopped with CTRL+z on Mac OS X. Patch

Previously, there were some corner cases where a long was returned even
though the result was within the range of an int.
- Issue #11450: Don't truncate hg version info in Py_GetBuildInfo() when
there are many tags (e.g. when using mq). Patch by Nadeem Vawda.

non-Python managed memory while it is being modified by another thread.
Patch by Matt Bandy.
- Issue #11004: Repaired edge case in deque.count().
- Issue #8278: On Windows and with a NTFS filesystem, os.stat() and os.utime()
can now handle dates after 2038.
- Issue #4236: Py_InitModule4 now checks the import machinery directly
rather than the Py_IsInitialized flag, avoiding a Fatal Python
error in certain circumstances when an import is done in __del__.

Patch by Torsten Becker.
- Issue #10674: Remove unused 'dictmaker' rule from grammar.

float.__divmod__ with respect to signed zeros. -4.0 % 4.0 should be
0.0, not -0.0.
- Issue #11386: bytearray.pop() now throws IndexError when the bytearray is
empty, instead of OverflowError.

Extension Modules
-----------------
- Stop using the old interface for providing methods and attributes in the _sre

changes in sbcl-1.0.49 relative to sbcl-1.0.48:
* minor incompatible change: WITH-LOCKED-HASH-TABLE no longer disables
interrupts for its body.
* enhancement: source locations are now available for files loaded as
source, compile-time-too evaluation, and initialization files.
* enhancement: WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT :SOURCE-NAMESTRING allows providing
virtual source-file information, eg. overriding input-file of COMPILE-FILE
when a temporary file is used for compilation.
* enhancement: ASDF has been updated to version 2.015.3.
* enhancement: backtraces involving frames from the default evaluator are
more readable.
* enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM works with user-defined binary input and output
streams.
* enhancement: more informative compile-time warnings and runtime errors for
type-errors detected at compile-time.
* enhancement: deadlock detection for mutexes and spinlocks.
* enhancement: dynamic-extent for &rest lists stack allocate only their
spines, not their argumets. While portable code should not rely on this,
particularly in combination with inlining, it should make dynamic-extent
easier to use safely.
* enhancement: SB-POSIX improvements:
** WNOHANG and WUNTRACED are exported.
** SYSCALL-ERROR now also provides the name of the failing system call.
* enhancement: --script improvements:
** errors on standard input, output, and error streams are handled and
cause scripts to exit silently, making them easier to use in shell
pipelines.
** backtraces from scripts now go to standard error instead of the
terminal even if one is available.
** --script can be an argument, causing the script to be loaded from
standard input.
* enhancement: MAKE-ALIEN-STRING provides an easy way to transport lisp
strings to foreign memory.
* enhancement: (SETF GC-LOGFILE) allows logging garbage collections to
a file, making it easier to understand heap dynamics.
* optimization: using a &REST argument only in APPLY or VALUES-LIST calls
allows the compiler to automatically elide rest-list allocation so long as
the call sites are in functions that the compiler knows cannot escape.
(lp#504575)
* optimization: CALL-NEXT-METHOD using explicit arguments is faster,
especially in safe code when none of the required arguments have changed
their identities.
* bug fix: blocking reads from FIFOs created by RUN-PROGRAM were
uninterruptible, as well as blocking reads from socket streams created
with for which :SERVE-EVENTS NIL. (regression from 1.0.42.43)
* bug fix: SET-SYNTAX-FROM-CHAR now removes dispatch-macro character syntax
from the to-char if the from-char is not a dispatch-macro character.
* bug fix: references to undefined variables in function calls that are
optimized away now signal a runtime error. (lp#722734)
* bug fix: miscompilation of MULTIPLE-VALUE-CALL when asserting derived
types from a function defined in the same file. (regression from
1.0.43.57)
* bug fix: TRULY-THE forms are now macroexpandable and setf-expandable.
(lp#771673)
* bug fix: spurious errors during QUIT when standard streams were closed.

Changes in 4.7.0
- Build system
- On BSD, libchicken.so is linked with -lpthread, as this seems
to be required for linking libraries that require pthreads
- The C header-files are now installed in a subdirectory below
the "PRFIX/include" directory to allow installation of multiple
chickens with different PROGRAM_PREFIX/PROGRAM_SUFFIX settings
in the same prefix; to avoid conflicts with existing CHICKEN
headers, it is recommended to completely remove any old
installation before installing the new version
- the PROGRAM_PREFIX and PROGRAM_SUFFIX configuration settings
are applied to generated files and directories which allows
perform differently named installations into the same PREFIX
- increaded binary-compatibility version from 5 to 6, which
means installed extensions in an existing installations will
have to be re-installed
- bugfixes in mingw/msys makefiles

sequences inside strings (thanks to Mario Domenech Goulart,
thanks to Kon Lovett for pointing out a missing test-file)

terminated process on Windows (reported by Mario Domenech Goulart)
- added `file-creation-mode' (suggested by Mario Domenech Goulart)
- "setup-api" unit
- `required-extension-version' and `required-chicken-version' have
been deprecated
- "srfi-18" unit
- removed deprecated `milliseconds->time' and `time->milliseconds'
procedures
- `make-mutex' incorrectly created mutexes as initially owned by
the current threads (thanks to Joerg Wittenberger)

module
- removed check for unsafe toplevel calls in safe mode
- intrinsic handling of `exact->inexact' and `string->number' is
now more efficient

block-mode
- fixed incorrect lambda-list check in scrutinizer (thanks to
Alan Post)
- Kon Lovett reported numerous bugs in the type-database used
by the scrutinizer
- `-fwrapv' is disabled on OpenBSD, since the default compiler
does not support this option (thanks to Christian Kellermann)
- on Solaris `gcc' is used by default, override `C_COMPILER'
to use the Sun compiler instead
- declaring a function `notinline' will prevent direct-call
optimization for known procedure calls
- the implementation of overflow-detection for arithmetic operations
on fixnums have been replaced and now allow using the full 63-bit
range of fixnums on 64-bit systems

- constant-folding in the compiler has been simplified and
is more reliable (thanks to Sven Hartrumpf)
- optimization-levels 3 and higher imply `-unboxing -inline-global'
- added new declaration `unsafe-specialized-arithmetic' which allows
optimizing unboxed floating-point arithmetic in safe mode
- removed `scrutinize' declaration
- the warning shown when unimported identifiers are used in compiled
modules now also shows the name of the procedure where the
identifier is referenced (suggested by Alaric Snell-Pym)
- Documentation

- Documented remaining "c...r" standard procedures (thanks to
Juergen Lorenz)

and provided a low-level API in the `lolevel' library unit for
manipulating pointer vectors
- Runtime system
- Fixed typo in "runtime.c" (thanks to Sven Hartrumpf)
- Little-endian detection on MIPS systems was not correct (thanks
to Christian Kellermann)

reported by Christian Kellermann)
- `equal?' does not compare procedures recursively anymore
- fixed incorrect use of alloca.h on OpenBSD (thanks to
Christian Kellermann and Alan Post)

operations, which required various changes to `chicken.h'
to make the code compile in ISO C99 mode

- fixed bug in argument-type check for 64-bit integer (thanks
to Kon Lovett)
- increased default trace-buffer size from 10 to 16

a non-inlined internal use in the expander (thanks to David
Steiner)
- `define-record' now allows defining SRFI-17 setter procedures
for accessing slots
- the expansion of DSSSL lambda-lists uses now `let-optionals*'
internally instead of `let-optionals' and so allows

(see `ir-macro-transformer')
- record-definitions are now made local to the module in which
they are defined (thanks to Jim Ursetto)

+ The --gc-nursery-size command line argument was added.
+ Parrot now gets entropy from the underlying OS.
+ The NCI subsystem now supports 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit integers.
+ The NCI subsystem now supports "long long" and "long double" signatures.
Not all platforms/compilers support these non-standard types, so developers
are cautioned to take note that using them reduces portability.
+ Many more OpenGL functions in the Parrot OpenGL bindings are available,
which required the above-mentioned signatures.
+ Bytecode-related embedding api functions moved to src/embed/bytecode.c.
- Languages
+ Winxed
- Use 'using extern' for module imports.
- Improved stage 0 prefix ++ and -- operators.
- Allow 'null' in conditional operator.
- Several examples are updated.

mostly done with their classes and much code will flow soon.
- Documentation
+ More PCT introductions are available.
3.3.0 news:
- Core
+ The isa and isa_pmc vtables can now be overridden from PIR
+ IMCC has a new improved external interface

Update mawk to 1.3.4.20100625
Major changes in this release of mawk:
20100625
+ correct translation of octal and hex escapes for system regular
expression library.
+ modify configure script to support --program-suffix, etc.
+ add Debian package scripts, for "mawk-cur".
+ add RPM spec-file.
+ move release- and patch-level values from version.c to patchlev.h
to simplify packaging scripts.
20100618
+ correct translation of "^{" pattern for system regular expression
library (report by Elias Pipping).
+ fix sentence fragment in README (report by Elias Pipping).
20100507
+ cleanup gcc warnings for 64-bit platform, e.g., use size_t rather
than unsigned, etc.
+ fix warnings from clang --analyze
+ update/improve configure script
+ modify CF_GCC_VERSION to ignore stderr, e.g., from c89 alias
+ modify CF_GCC_WARNINGS, moving -W and -Wall into the list to check,
since c89 alias for gcc complains about these options.
+ add --disable-leaks and related options, for testing.
+ add lint rule to makefile.
+ add configure-check for ctags to work with pkgsrc.
+ amend change of array.w, fixes a regression in "delete" (report by
Heiner Marxen).
20100419
+ modify split() to handle embedded nulls in the string to split, e.g.,
BEGIN{s="a\0b"; print length(s); n = split(s,f,""); print n}
(report by Morris Lee).
+ modify array.w to update table pointers in the special case where
an array is known to have string-indices, but is later indexed via
integers. The problem occurs when the array grows large enough to
rehash it, e.g.,
BEGIN{a["n"];for(i=1;i<1000;++i)printf "%d\n", a[i]; }
(report by Morris Lee).
+ increase size of reference-count for strings to unsigned. It was an
unsigned short, which prevented using arrays larger than 64k, e.g.,
BEGIN{for(i = 1; i <= 65550; ++i){if(i >= 65534 && i<=65537) print i; s[i] = "a"}; delete s;}
(report by Morris Lee).
+ add special case for Solaris 10 (and up) to configure check
CF_XOPEN_SOURCE
+ refactored configure check CF_REGEX
20100224
+ add a configure check for large files (report by Sean Kumar).
+ modify check in collect_RE() to show the actual limit value, e.g.,
MIN_SPRINTF-2 used for built-in regular expressions.
+ increase MIN_SPRINTF, used as limit on regular-expression size, to
match the MAX_SPLIT value, i.e., slightly more than doubling the size
(report by Markus Gnam).
+ further modify makefile to build outside the source-tree.
+ modify makefile and mawktest to use relative path again, since the
existing script did not work with openSUSE's build (patch by Guido
Berhoerster).
+ fix makefile's .c.i rule, which lacked CPP definition.
+ update mawktest.bat script to more/less correspond with mawktest,
for Win32 console except where echo command does not handle the
required quoting syntax.
+ add vs6.mak, for Visual Studio 6.
+ modify mawktest script to report results from all tests, rather than
halting on the first failure.
+ add limit-check after processing match(test, "[^0-9A-Za-z]") to
ensure the internal trailing null of the test-string is not mistaken
for part of the string, i.e., RSTART, RLENGTH are computed correctly
(report by Markus Gnam).
+ modify parsing of -W option to use comma-separated values, e.g.,
"-Wi,e" for "-Winteractive" and "-Werror".
+ add timestamp to scancode.c, to help manage revisions.
+ improve configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, making it remove possibly
conflicting definitions before adding new ones.
+ update config.guess and config.sub
> patches by Jan Psota:
+ improve buffering for -Winteractive option.
+ allow multiple single-character flags after -W, e.g., "-Wie" for
"-Winteractive" and "-Werror" to permit these to be passed on a
"#"-line of a shell script, e.g.,
#!/usr/bin/mawk -Wie
> patches by Jonathan Nieder:
+ add new M_SAVE_POS and M_2JC operation codes (states) to the
built-in regular expression engine. Use these to reimplement
m* (closure), to provide a way to avoid infinite looping on
matches against empty strings. This change requires
reimplementing
the workaround for gawk's noloop1 testcase from 20090726.
+ improve buffer-overflow check for string_buff.
+ fix collect_RE to treat "[^]]" as a character class (meaning "not a
closing bracket") but "[^^]]" not as one. This also requires
initializing the local "start of character class" variable to NULL
rather than the beginning of the string, to avoid an invalid array
access when collecting expressions such as "^text".
+ within a character class and not followed by a :, ., or ~, a "[" is
just like any other character. This way, you can tell mawk to scan
for a literal [ character with "mawk /[[]/", and you can scan for a [
or ] with "mawk /[][]/". Also clean up the relevant loop in
do_class() to make it a bit more readable.
+ outside a character class, a "]" is just like any other character.
+ prevent do_class() from scanning past the end, e.g., if the
terminating zero byte was escaped.
+ fix regular-expression parsing when a right parenthesis ")" is
found without a preceding left parenthesis.
+ fix resetting of position stack when backtracking.
+ modify regular-expression engine to avoid exponential running time
for some regular expression matches in which the first match mawk
finds extends to the end of the string. This is a new fix for the
gawk noloop2 test, added here for regression testing.
List of user-visible changes in GNU Smalltalk
NEWS FROM 3.2.3 TO 3.2.4
o Autoload is extended to allow plugging in arbitrary loaders.
o Array items in a CStruct didn't work, this is fixed now.
o DLD could have problems when the same library was requested multiple
times.
o Errors in the bind() system call were not detected correctly; this
has been fixed.
o Fixes for platforms with 113-bit long doubles.
o Fixes to Delay in the presence of delays with the exact same expiration.
o Fixes to the HTTP package, including correct flushing of POST requests
and doesNotUnderstand exceptions when the host did not exist.
o GLUT bindings now build correctly under Windows.
o Many smalltalk-mode improvements.
o New methods: TextCollector>>#critical:,
o nil can be passed to a C function accepting a #cObjectPtr (i.e.
void **) argument.
o SocketAddress>>#allByName: returns nil now, instead of an empty array,
when getaddrinfo succeeds but returns no address for the requested
address class.
o SocketAddress>>#byName: returns addresses for the default address class
when the receiver is SocketAddress (and not a subclass).
o Support for older versions of GnuTLS.
o Swazoo's static content serving was broken and has been fixed.
o The GST_PACKAGE macro supports having multiple .la files in its last
argument. gst-package's --prepare option was broken and has been fixed.
o The NetClients exception ProtocolError now includes the erroneous
response. Similarly, the package includes ProtocolNotification which
is used, for example, for HTTP redirects.
o Updated the Squeak/Pharo fileout parser.
o Updated VisualGST.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEWS FROM 3.2.2 TO 3.2.3
o Class attributes can have more than 1 keyword.
o Documented #byteArrayOut C call argument passing mode.
o Fixed crash when an invalid UnicodeString was created using
#changeClassTo:
o Fixed deadlock with #atEnd and two-way pipes.
o Fixed bugs when adding instance variables to an existing class.
o Fixed Socket>>#isPeerAlive falsely returning true.
o Fixed some bugs in UTF-7 conversion.
o FreeBSD port and 64-bit Darwin port. The latter requires a
pre-installed libsigsegv.
o "gst-convert -f squeak" reads binary selectors with more than two
characters; however they should be shortened with rewrite rules
to use the output.
o gst-doc can generate sensible documentation for a package if
some of its prerequisite are not loaded, even if some of the
package's classes subclass from the prerequisite.
o GTK+ bindings are generated correctly for newer versions of GLib
(tested up to 2.26).
o If found, pre-installed libsigsegv, libffi and libltdl are used by
default.
o Improvements for Emacs mode. Installation of Emacs mode detects
Debian's /etc/emacs/site-start.d, and a --with-lispstartdir option
is provided for distributions that are not Red Hat- or Debian-based.
o Machine-specific optimizations for x86-64, and other microoptimizations
resulting in small but consistent performance improvements.
o More out of memory conditions are detected.
o New methods: ByteArray>>#castTo:, ByteArray>>#asCData,
String>>#asCData, UndefinedObject>>#inheritsFrom:
o New goodie: Announcements.
o Number class>>#readFrom: can parse numbers in scientific notation.
o Package descriptions do not need to include a <file> item for each
<filein> item. However, it is still possible to include them for
backwards compatibility, and it is possible to include a source file
as both <filein> and <built-file> (so that gst-package --dist will
skip it).
o Packages can be downloaded using HTTPS if GnuTLS libraries are
present.
o Performance statistics printed by -V are now correct.
o Scoped methods ("A class >> a") can be used in an "A class [ ... ]"
block.
o Semaphore>>#wait returns nil if the wait was interrupted externally
(e.g. from Process>>#resume).
o String>>#asCData: and String>>#asCData NULL-terminate their output.
o Support for timeouts when waiting on a Semaphore.
o Swazoo supports SCGI. Its configuration however is still manual,
since the Seaside and Iliad adaptors do not know about it.
o Updated VisualGST.

What's New in Python 2.4.6c1?
=============================
*Release date: 13-Dec-2008*
Core and builtins
-----------------
- Issue #4469: Prevent expandtabs() on string and unicode
objects from causing a segfault when a large width is passed
on 32-bit platforms. CVE-2008-5031.
- Issue #4317: Fixed a crash in the imageop.rgb2rgb8() function.
- Issue #4230: Fix a crash when a class has a custom __getattr__ and an
__getattribute__ method that deletes the __getattr__ attribute.
- Apply security patches from Apple. CVE-2008-2315.
- Issue #2620: Overflow checking when allocating or reallocating memory
was not always being done properly in some python types and extension
modules. PyMem_MALLOC, PyMem_REALLOC, PyMem_NEW and PyMem_RESIZE have
all been updated to perform better checks and places in the code that
would previously leak memory on the error path when such an allocation
failed have been fixed.
- Issue #1179: Fix CVE-2007-4965 and CVE-2008-1679, multiple integer
overflows in the imageop and rgbimgmodule modules.
- Issue #2586: Fix CVE-2008-1721, zlib crash from
zlib.decompressobj().flush(val) when val is not positive.
- Issues #2588, #2589: Fix potential integer underflow and overflow
conditions in the PyOS_vsnprintf C API function. CVE-2008-3144.
- Issue #2587: In the C API, PyString_FromStringAndSize() takes a signed size
parameter but was not verifying that it was greater than zero. Values
less than zero will now raise a SystemError and return NULL to indicate a
bug in the calling C code. CVE-2008-1887.
- Security Issue #2: imageop did not validate arguments correctly and could
segfault as a result. CVE-2008-4864.

changes in sbcl-1.0.47 relative to sbcl-1.0.46:
* bug fix: fix mach port rights leaks in mach exception handling code on
darwin/x86 and /x86-64. (thanks to Willem Oudshoorn for motivation and the
initial patch)
* enhancement: --script muffles style-warnings and compiler notes. (lp#677779)
* enhancement: redefinition warnings for macros from different files. (lp#434657)
* enhancement: better MACHINE-VERSION on Darwin x86 and x86-64. (lp#668332)
* enhancement: (FORMAT "foo" ...) and similar signal a compile-time warning. (lp#327223)
* enhancement: no more "in: LAMBDA NIL" messages from the compiler for forms
processed using EVAL -- now the appropriate toplevel form is reported instead.
* enhancement: more legible style-warnings for inappropriate IGNORE and IGNORABLE
declarations. (lp#726331)
* enhancement: :NOT-NULL option has been added to alien C-STRING type to indicate
that NIL/NULL is excluded from the type.
* enhancement: SB-INTROSPECT:MAP-ROOT allows mapping over pointers contained in
arbitrary objects.
* optimization: SLOT-VALUE &co are faster in the presence of SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS
and its compatriots.
* optimization: core startup time is reduced by 30% on x86-64. (lp#557357)
* bug fix: SB-DEBUG:BACKTRACE-AS-LIST guards against potentially leaking
stack-allocated values out of their dynamic-extent. (lp#310175)
* bug fix: attempts to use SB-SPROF for wallclock profiling on threaded
x86-64 builds caused a type-error.
* bug fix: calling COMPILE with something else than a lambda-expression as the
second argument reports a more sensible error. (lp#718905)
* bug fix: invalid combinations of :PREDICATE and :TYPE options in DEFSTRUCT
are detected. (lp#520607)
* bug fix: constant keyword argument checking didn't take :ALLOW-OTHER-KEYS
into account.
* bug fix: SLOT-BOUNDP information is correct during MAKE-INSTANCE in the
presence of (SETF SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS) and SLOT-BOUNDP-USING-CLASS
methods. (regression from 1.0.45.18)
* bug fix: INITIALIZE-INSTANCE :AROUND methods supplying initargs via
CALL-NEXT-METHOD work correctly. (regression from 1.0.45.19)
* bug fix: several foreign functions accepting string also accepted NIL and
consequently caused a memory fault at 0 now signal a type-error instead.
(lp#721087)
* bug fix: under rare circumstances, constraint propagation could rewrite a
variable reference to refer to a variable not in scope, causing an error
during physical environment analysis when attempting to close over the
variable. (lp#551227)
* bug fix: SIMPLE-CONDITION :FORMAT-CONTROL defaults to NIL.
definitions which do things behind the client pkgs back, in particular
manipulate the library search path
It is well possible that this causes some fallout, but I hope it
will be small and can be dealt with on a per-pkg basis.
(partly) suggested by Mark Davies on tech-pkg

Notable changes in 5.11.18
--------------------------
Experimental extension to run the development tools in a
separate thread, so you can edit away while your program runs.
Notable changes in 5.11.17
--------------------------
Fix error with quoted wide atoms. This causes write/read to fail
for any term that contains an atom that needs quotes and has
Unicode points >= 256.
This also contains the copy_term/2 patch to exploit sharing ...
Notable changes in 5.11.16
--------------------------
Unicode handling is certainly a step forward wrt. character
classification. Unicode symbols have been modified to `glue'
like ==, =<, etc.
Finally, there is per-thread CPU statistics for MacOS
Finally, selection handling in the Windows console is a bit better.
Trail-stack usage is now significantly less.
Notable changes in 5.11.15
--------------------------
Revert the change to write_canonical/1
Notable changes in 5.11.14
--------------------------
There is a lot of mostly small fixes. The most notably are changes
to the ODBC interface, which now supports Unicode (at least for queries,
not for all aspects). It's got a new option to ODBC connections:
the encoding. The default should work fine on Windows and UTF-8 based
Unix databases. Thanks to Matt Lilley and Carlo Capelli.
There is quite some reorganisation in the sources due to work on sharing
most of the OS interface and I/O between YAP and SWI and make the setup
of packages such that the makefiles can be shared between SWI and YAP.
Notable changes in 5.11.13
--------------------------
This version fixes some more issues in =@=/2, various minor issues
and may have big impact on trail-stack usage of your program.
It also fixes the reported socket issue with XPCE on Win64.
Notable changes in 5.11.12
--------------------------
This contains some quite important fixes, avoiding simply wrong
answers as well as some crashes. Besides the usual small stuff,
it has two important rewrites:
- Standard order comparison now avoids recursion using the C-stack.
This is a bit of a trial. Timing shows that processing last-argument
nested terms is about 10% slower and other nesting is about 50% faster
and no longer causes uncrontrolled stack-overflows. This is promising,
but the amount of work is considerable, notably for this case, where
the possibility of comparison to raise an exception is new.
- =@=/2 is completely rewritten. If you are looking for a challenge,
there is one in the current version of =@=/2 (variant/2). The
implementation is in src/pl-prims.c and the test cases in
src/Tests/core/test_term.pl. =@=/2 has gone through some
iterations. If all is right, the current version
- Fails as soon as it finds a difference, without processing
a whole term.
- Handles rational trees (cyclic terms).
- Deals with variables shared between the argument terms.
Notable changes in 5.11.11
--------------------------
Top level now reveals the internal `sharing' of subterms in answer
substitutions. This notably deals with cyclic terms.
Notable changes in 5.11.10
--------------------------
Floats are no longer printed through the C-library printf using %g.
Instead, Prolog write writes a float such that reading it back
recontructs a float that is bitwise equivalent (==) to the input.
This is based on a library by David M. Gay. The output routine uses
the same rules on when to use exponential notation as the GNU C-library's
%g format. It prints as few as possible digits to reach == equivalence,
but this is typically more than it used to print. If you want fewer digits,
use format/3 (e.g., ~6f) or round (A is round(F*10000)/10000, write(A)).
rdf_reachable/2 now, like rdf_has/3, respects defined RDF predicate properties.
In addition, it provides look-ahead which ensures deterministic success on
the last answer. This means that rdf_reachable(A, owl:sameAs, B) (with either
or both A and B instantiated) behaves as expected and much more efficiently.
There are a lot of changes to quoted syntax, notably for 0'<char> and
some for quoted atoms. Except for \e being read as 27 (esc), all sensible
previously valid input is parsed consistently (I wouldn't be surprised if
it is possible to construct cases where you get different output, but I
would be surprised if any real program is affected). See mailinglist for
details.
This is the beta of the first release of pcc since almost forever. The
main architectures supported are i386 and amd64, other targets may have
less functionality.
Update reviewed by Alistair G. Crooks.
* Type Based Alias Analysis (TBAA) is now implemented and turned on by default
in Clang. This allows substantially better load/store optimization in some
cases. TBAA can be disabled by passing -fno-strict-aliasing.
* This release has seen a continued focus on quality of debug information. LLVM
now generates much higher fidelity debug information, particularly when
debugging optimized code.
* Inline assembly now supports multiple alternative constraints.
* A new backend for the NVIDIA PTX virtual ISA (used to target its GPUs) is
under rapid development. It is not generally useful in 2.9, but is making
rapid progress.

PHP 5.3.6 Released!
[17-Mar-2011]
The PHP development team would like to announce the immediate availability
of PHP 5.3.6. This release focuses on improving the stability of the PHP
5.3.x branch with over 60 bug fixes, some of which are security related.
Security Enhancements and Fixes in PHP 5.3.6:
* Enforce security in the fastcgi protocol parsing with fpm SAPI.
* Fixed bug #54247 (format-string vulnerability on Phar). (CVE-2011-1153)

* Fixed bug #54055 (buffer overrun with high values for precision ini setting).
* Fixed bug #54002 (crash on crafted tag in exif). (CVE-2011-0708)
* Fixed bug #53885 (ZipArchive segfault with FL_UNCHANGED on empty
archive). (CVE-2011-0421)
Key enhancements in PHP 5.3.6 include:
* Upgraded bundled Sqlite3 to version 3.7.4.
* Upgraded bundled PCRE to version 8.11.
* Added ability to connect to HTTPS sites through proxy with basic
authentication using stream_context/http/header/Proxy-Authorization.
* Added options to debug backtrace functions.
* Changed default value of ini directive serialize_precision from 100 to 17.

by reference).
* Fixed bug #53577 (Regression introduced in 5.3.4 in open_basedir
with a trailing forward slash).
* Over 60 other bug fixes.
Changes in sbcl-1.0.46 relative to sbcl-1.0.45:
* enhancement: largefile support on Solaris.
* enhancement: SB-PROFILE:REPORT now supports :LIMIT and :PRINT-NO-CALL-LIST
arguments (lp#710017)
* enhancement: SB-PCL:+SLOT-UNBOUND+ is exported, making it possible to
distinguish unbound instance slots when using STANDARD-INSTANCE-ACCESS
&co. (lp#718039)
* optimization: ERROR and CERROR are approximately 5 times faster.
* optimization: optimized constructors are used for MAKE-INSTANCE of classes
with applicable non-standard (SETF SLOT-VALUE-USING-CLASS),
SLOT-BOUNDP-USING-CLASS, and INITIALIZE-INSTANCE :AROUND methods, speeding
up instance creation in those cases.
* optimization: arithmetic operations with multiple constant arguments in now
have them reduced at compile-time. (lp#676414)
* optimization: determining current character position on string-streams for
pretty-printing was overly slow.
* bug fix: local tail calls to DYNAMIC-EXTENT functions can no longer cause
lifetime analysis to overwrite closed-over variables (lp#681092).
* bug fix: encoding errors from some multibyte external formats such as EUC-JP
were not handled correctly (lp#713063).
* bug fix: printing waitqueue objects without setting *PRINT-CIRCLE* to T is now
safe (lp#673630).
* bug fix: Solaris/x86-64 wasn't getting built with lutex support by
mistake. (lp#667297).
* bug fix: CONSTANTLY generated functions had bogus lambda-lists. (lp#713626)
* bug fix: RUN-PROGRAM :PTY option was racy on OpenBSD. (lp#669485)
* bug fix: UNINTERN takes a symbol, not a symbol designator -- could previously
unintern the wrong symbol with the same name. (lp#693796)
* bug fix: COPY-PPRINT-DISPATCH always has access to a pristine table,
making it possible to restore the initial table if it has been messed up.
(lp#678409)

Changes 4.4.5:
The GNU project and the GCC developers are pleased to announce the
release of GCC 4.4.5.
This release is a bug-fix release, containing fixes for regressions in
GCC 4.4.4 relative to previous releases of GCC.
Impetus to upgrade from Matthias Rampke.
Pkgsrc changes:
o Changed package name to not include upstream version number (ouch!)
Upstream changes:
o Lots of fixes; list of changes not easily available.
o The main supported architectures are i386 and amd64; other targets
have "less functionality".
Please help in testing this; report bugs via http://pcc.ludd.ltu.se/jira.
Python 2.7 is intended to be the last major release in the 2.x series.
The Python maintainers are planning to focus their future efforts on
the Python 3.x series.
This means that 2.7 will remain in place for a long time, running
production systems that have not been ported to Python 3.x.
Two consequences of the long-term significance of 2.7 are:
* It's very likely the 2.7 release will have a longer period of
maintenance compared to earlier 2.x versions. Python 2.7 will
continue to be maintained while the transition to 3.x continues, and
the developers are planning to support Python 2.7 with bug-fix
releases beyond the typical two years.
* A policy decision was made to silence warnings only of interest to
developers. :exc:`DeprecationWarning` and its
descendants are now ignored unless otherwise requested, preventing
users from seeing warnings triggered by an application. This change
was also made in the branch that will become Python 3.2. (Discussed
on stdlib-sig and carried out in :issue:`7319`.)
In previous releases, :exc:`DeprecationWarning` messages were
enabled by default, providing Python developers with a clear
indication of where their code may break in a future major version
of Python.
However, there are increasingly many users of Python-based
applications who are not directly involved in the development of
those applications. :exc:`DeprecationWarning` messages are
irrelevant to such users, making them worry about an application
that's actually working correctly and burdening application developers
with responding to these concerns.
You can re-enable display of :exc:`DeprecationWarning` messages by
running Python with the :option:`-Wdefault <-W>` (short form:
:option:`-Wd <-W>`) switch, or by setting the :envvar:`PYTHONWARNINGS`
environment variable to ``"default"`` (or ``"d"``) before running
Python. Python code can also re-enable them
by calling ``warnings.simplefilter('default')``.
* The FileUtils Vulnerability
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2011/02/18/fileutils-is-vulnerable-to-symlink-race-attacks/
* The $SAFE Vulnerability
Fri Feb 18 21:18:55 2011 Shugo Maeda <shugo@ruby-lang.org>

Test for below.
Fri Feb 18 21:18:55 2011 URABE Shyouhei <shyouhei@ruby-lang.org>
* error.c (exc_to_s): untainted strings can be tainted via
Exception#to_s, which enables attackers to overwrite sane strings.
Reported by: Yusuke Endoh <mame at tsg.ne.jp>.
* error.c (name_err_to_s): ditto.
Fri Feb 18 21:17:22 2011 Shugo Maeda <shugo@ruby-lang.org>
* lib/fileutils.rb (FileUtils::remove_entry_secure): there is a
race condition in the case where the given path is a directory,
and some other user can move that directory, and create a
symlink while this method is executing.
Reported by: Nicholas Jefferson <nicholas at pythonic.com.au>

Requested by Matthew Mondor, who contributed description of changes.
Since 10.4.1, changes were made in the following areas:
- Better cross-compile support, including with C++ compilers
- FFI from interpreted code now requires libffi
- Compiler now shipped as a single FASL file, cmp.fas
- Various fixes, notably in handling of:
LIST/LIST*, foreign arrays and structures, optimization annotations,
pathnames (logical pathnames and case), RENAME-FILE, READ,
the debugger, ANSI CL function declarations, DECLAIM, DEFMACRO,
EXPT, ASDF, rational math
- Performance optimizations in the following areas:
SETF expansions, AREF/ASET, unboxing, sequence functions, LOOP,
ASSERT, use of long-long and long-double where possible,
reworked compilation policies, EXT:MAKE-FOREIGN-DATA-FROM-ARRAY
- Other new features:
EXT:WITH-BACKEND
See http://ecls.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ecls/ecl/src/CHANGELOG?revision=1.793
for more details, or src/CHANGELOG in the source.
John Marino, originally per PR pkg/44436, slightly updated
for i386/amd64, comes with a bootstrap which doesn't need an Ada compiler
on the pkg build system (fetches a bootstrap binary from MASTER_SITE)
There seems to be some incompatibility with the binutils/libgcc_s
on NetBSD-current, leading to warnings. Not fatal, but should be
investigated.
5.3.5 was released due to a critical issue and the previous suhosin
patch still applies. Prior art of this can be seen in OpenBSD's and
FreeBSD's ports.

Pkgsrc changes:
o Remove local patch which is no longer needed.
o Adapt PLIST to changes in the set of installed files.
Upstream changes:
- Core
+ A new embedding API is available in "parrot/api.h" and documented in
docs/pdd/pdd10_embedding.pod .
+ Packfile PMCs were refactored and can now be used to produce runnable
bytecode.
+ Packfile manipulation code now throws embedder-friendly exceptions rather
than printing error details directly to stderr.
+ Unicode support for file IO, environment variables, program names, and
command-line parameters was improved.
+ An experimental gdb pretty-printers in tools/dev for Parrot STRINGs and
PMCs is now available. (gdb 7.2 or later and Python are required)
+ c2str.pl and pmc2c.pl improvements result in a noticeably faster build.
+ Bugs in our Digest::sha256 library and bit-related dynamic ops were fixed
by GCI student Nolan Lum. Both now work correctly on 32 and 64 bit
systems.
- Languages
+ ;)XD - OMeta for Winxed https://github.com/plobsing/ohm-eta-wink-kzd
- Community
+ tree-optimization by GSoC student Tyler L. Curtis joined the nest and now
lives at http://github.com/parrot/tree-optimization .
+ Plumage now lives at http://github.com/parrot/plumage and is installable.
+ Christmas went as scheduled. The Parrot team does not take credit for
this event.
- Documentation
+ HTML documentation generation has been rewritten and greatly simplified.
+ We have improved documentation in docs/project/git_workflow.pod about
keeping a fork of parrot.git in sync.
+ Translations of our README in various languages are now in the
docs/translation directory, thanks to Google Code-In students.
- Tests
+ A better way to write "todo" tests with Parrot's Test::More was implemented
by GCI student Fernando Brito.
+ Major increases in test coverage of many core PMCs, dynamic PMCs and
dynamic opcodes resulted from GCI and the intrepid students it attracted.
+ Jonathan "Duke" Leto set up Debian Linux x86_64 and sparc32 smokers
in the GCC Compile Farm, which continually submit smoke reports with
a variety of configuration options and compilers. Thanks, GCC!
+ Makefile dependency checking is now automatically tested, resulting in a
more reliable parallel build.
+ Coverage tests were improved for platforms with and without Devel::Cover.

No standard changelog provided from upstream, some bits scattered here:
* http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/release-notes/JS_170.html
* https://developer.mozilla.org/En/SpiderMonkey/1.8
pkgsrc changes:
* Threading support (and dependency on devel/nspr) is now optional
(enabled by default). Threaded Spidermonkey may not be desirable
for e.g. server-side JavaScript usage.
* Unicode strings support optional.
* Rudimental OpenSolaris/Solaris 11 config file provided.
Release Candidate note:
Spidermonkey 1.8.0 RC1 was the last version ever released as
a standalone distribution, and is generally being used by the JavaScript
community nowaways, if needed. In the future, ripping Spidermonkey
out of the Mozilla tarball may be attempted too, to update the package
to 1.9.x.
alternative from mk/jpeg.buildlink3.mk
This allows selection of an alternative jpeg library (namely the x86 MMX,
SSE, SSE2 accelerated libjpeg-turbo) via JPEG_DEFAULT=libjpeg-turbo, and

(no change in functionality)
- to do this, and make the result runnable on pre-thumb arm, change
upstreams assembler snippets and stubs to use "mov pc,reg" instead
of the return/call-to-thumb-friendly "bx reg", which is not available
in non-thumb-enabled arm CPUs. Whether this is the way to go, or a
seperate "armt" architecture for ocaml is needed, needs to be discussed
with upstream.
Resulting compiler, when running its selftest suite, has 6 errors less than
the same on i386. Unison compiled natively with this passes its self-test.
Boomerang is a programming language for writing lenses--well-behaved
bidirectional transformations--that operate on ad-hoc, textual data
formats. Every lens program, when read from left to right, describes
a function that maps an input to an output; when read from right
to left, the very same program describes a "backwards" function
that maps a modified output, together with the original input, back
to a modified input.
Lenses have been used to solve problems across a wide range of
areas in computing including: in data converters and synchronizers,
in parsers and pretty printers, in picklers and unpicklers, in
structure editors, in constraint maintainers for user interfaces,
in software model transformations, in schema evolution, in tools
for managing system configuration files, and in databases where
they provide updatable views.
PHP 5.2.16 Released!
The PHP development team would like to announce the immediate availability of
PHP 5.2.16. This release marks the end of support for PHP 5.2. All users of
PHP 5.2 are encouraged to upgrade to PHP 5.3.
This release focuses on addressing a regression in open_basedir implementation
introduced in 5.2.15 in addition to fixing a crash inside PDO::pgsql on data
retrieval when the server is down. All users who have upgraded to 5.2.15 and
are utilizing open_basedir are strongly encouraged to upgrade to 5.2.16 or
5.3.4.
To prepare for upgrading to PHP 5.3, now that PHP 5.2's support ended, a
migration guide available on http://php.net/migration53, details the changes
between PHP 5.2 and PHP 5.3.
For a full list of changes in PHP 5.2.16 see the ChangeLog at
http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.2.16.
ChangeLog:
Version 5.2.16
16-Dec-2010
* Fixed bug #53517 (segfault in pgsql_stmt_execute() when postgres is
down). (gyp at balabit dot hu)
* Fixed bug #53516 (Regression in open_basedir handling). (Ilia)
New in Gauche 0.9.1: Major Feature Enhancements
+ New Features
o Extended formals: Built-in lambda, define etc. can
recognize optional and keyword arguments, a la Common Lisp.
o Enhanced module mechanism: Now you can rename, choose,
or add prefix to the symbols when importing other modules.
o Efficient record types: A new module gauche.record provides
ERR5RS (srfi-99) compatible record types. It is also upper
compatible to srfi-9 records.
o More support for multithreaded applications: Thread-safe
queue is added to util.queue, and thread-pool feature is
provided by the new module control.thread-pool.
Continuations can be passed between threads.
o Partial continuations.
o Enhanced Windows support.
o New module: crypt.bcrypt: A module for Blowfish password hashing.
o New module: srfi-98: portable environment variable lookup support.
o New module: gauche.mop.propagate: Making object composition simpler.
o New module: rfc.json: JSON parsing and construction.
+ Changes
o The directory structure for Gauche installation has changed so
that we can keep binary compatibility for the extension
modules throughout 0.9.x releases.
o Now it is an error to pass a keyword argument that isn't
expected by the callee. It used to be a warning.
o Regular expression re{,M} now means the same as re{0,M},
which is compatible to Oniguruma.
+ Improvements
o The compiler and the runtime got optimized more.
The compiler now knows more about built-in procedures, and tries
compile-time constant folding and/or inlining more aggressively.
For example, sxml.ssax can parse XML document a lot faster.
o ^ can be used in place of lambda, allowing more concise code.
There's also convenience macros ^a, ^b, ... ^z and ^_ as
abbreviations of lambda (a) etc.
o ~ is added for universal accessing operator. (~ x y) is the same
as (ref x y), and (~ x y z) is the same as (ref (ref x y) z),
and so on. It can be used with generalized setter, e.g.
(set! (~ array i) x).
o define-syntax, let-syntax, and letrec-syntax are enhanced so that
they can take a general expression in rhs, as far as it yields
a syntactic transformer.
o gauche.process: I/O redirection handling in run-process becomes
more flexible.
o rfc.http module now supports https connection (unix platforms only).
Currently it relies on an external program (stunnel).
o A new procedure current-load-path allows the program to know
the file name it is being loaded from.
o A new procedure .$ is introduced as an alternative name of compose.
o Regular expressions now got read-write invariance. Some internal
regexp routines are made public, giving users an easy way
to construct and analyze regexp programatically.
o rfc.822: New procedure: rfc822-date->date.
o file.util: The procedure temporary-directory now became a parameter
so that you can switch it when necessary. The default value is taken
from (sys-tmpdir), which determines temporary directory in the
recommended way of the platform; esp., it works on Windows native
platforms. home-directory works on Windows, too.
Procedures null-device and console-device are added to make it easier
to write portable script across Unix and Windows platforms.
o util.queue: New proceduers: any-in-queue, every-in-queue.
o gauche.parseopt: When let-args encounters a command-line option
that doesn't match any spec, it now raises a condition of type
<parseopt-error> instead of <error>. The application can capture
the condition to handle invalid command-line arguments.
o gauche.uvector: New procedure uvector-size to obtain number of octets
actually to be written out when the given uvector is written out
by write-block.
o dbm: A new procedure dbm-type->class allows an application to load
appropriate dbm implementation at runtime. Utility scripts dbm/dump
and dbm/restore are provided for easier backup and migration.
o Procedure slot-pop! is added for the consistency with other
*-push!/pop! API pairs.
o When ref is used for object slot access, it can take default value
in case the slot is unbound.
o Made (set! (ref list k) value) work.
o New procedures delete-keywords, delete-keywords!, tree-map-map,
tree-map-for-each.
o unwind-protect allows multiple handlers, as in CL.
o sqrt now returns an exact number if the argument is exact and
the result can be computed exactly. Also, R6RS's exact-integer-sqrt
is added.
o gauche.parameter: Parameters can be used with generalized set!.
o The default-endian parameter is moved from binary.io module
to the core, so that this parameter controls default endian
of binary I/O in general. For example, read-block! and write-block
of the gauche.uvector module now uses the value of this parameter
as the default. A new procedure native-endian is added to retrieve
the platform's native endianness.
o More R6RS procedures: inexact, exact, real-valued?, rational-valued?,
integer-valued?, div, mod, div0, mod0.
A number of bug fixes.

Bump PKGREVISION
many thanks
New in version 1.0.45
* enhancement: ~/ and ~user/ are treated specially in pathnames.
* enhancement: ASDF has been updated to version 2.010.
* optimization: mutated closed-over variables that are only accessed
by DYNAMIC-EXTENT closures (currently only FLET and LABELS functions
declared to be DYNAMIC-EXTENT) are stored directly in their containing
stack frame, rather than allocating a VALUE-CELL (#586103).
* optimization: UNWIND-PROTECT cleanup functions are now declared
DYNAMIC-EXTENT.
Bug fixes.
New in version 1.0.44
* enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM accepts :EXTERNAL-FORMAT argument
to select the external-format for its :INPUT, :OUTPUT, AND
:ERROR :STREAMs.
* enhancement: ALLOCATION-INFORMATION also provides the page
the object resides on.
* enhancement: default dynamic-space size can be configured at
build-time without touching source, using the --dynamic-space-size
argument to make.sh.
* enhancement: DESCRIBE recognizes symbols naming optimization
policy qualities, and mentions ALWAYS-BOUND declarations.
* enhancement: ATOMIC-INCF now supports AREF of
(SIMPLE-ARRAY SB-EXT:WORD (*)) as a place.
* enhancement: ASDF has been updated to 2.009.
* enhancement: the system detects known type-erros in calls better,
signalling a full warning about violated proclaimed FTYPEs and
violations of derived FTYPEs within the same file, including self-calls.
* enhancement: new function: SB-EXT:DELETE-DIRECTORY is now provided.
* optimization: constant-folding exploits numeric and character types,
in addition member types.
* optimization: numeric, character and member types that are inhabited
by exactly one value are tested with EQL.
* optimization: more conditional branches are eliminated during IR1.
Branches are simplified before performing if/if-conversion,
and simple equivalent branches (that only read the same constant
or variable) are merged.
* improvements to the Windows port:
+ change: canonical unparsing form for pathname namestrings now
uses / as directory separator. NATIVE-NAMESTRING still uses \
as the separator.
+ bug fix: stackoverwriting due to incorrect usage of PeekConsoleInput
on Windows. (thanks to Kalyanov Dmitry)
+ bug fix: build now works on cygwin with GCC 4.x installed.
+ bug fix: run-sbcl.sh now works on Cygwin. (thanks to Kalyanov Dmitry)
Bug fixes.
New in version 1.0.43
* incompatible change: FD-STREAMS no longer participate in the
serve-event event-loop by default. (#316072)
+ In addition to streams created by explicit calls to MAKE-FD-STREAM
this affects streams from CL:OPEN.
+ Streams from SOCKET-MAKE-STREAM still participate in
serve-event by default, but this is liable to change:
applications needing serve-event for socket streams
should explicitly request it using :SERVE-EVENTS T in the call.
* enhancement: SB-EXT:WORD type is provided for use with
SB-EXT:ATOMIC-INCF &co.
* enhancement: CLOS effective method functions and defclass slot
typechecking function now have debug names for use in backtraces
and profiles.
* enhancement: ASDF has been updated to version 2.004.
* enhancement: symbols are printed using fully qualified names
in several error and warning messages which are often associated
with package conflicts or mixups (#622789, thanks to Attila Lendvai)
Bug fixes.
