Changes in 4.8.0.1 since 4.8.0
- Security fixes
- Use POSIX poll() on systems where available. This avoids a design flaw
in select(); it supports no more than FD_SETSIZE descriptors.
- Core libraries
- Fixed EINTR handling in process-wait and when reading from file ports.
- Bugfix for irregex (#686). Note: although irregex.scm now says version
0.9.2, the version is actually 0.8.3 plus a few backported patches.
- Fixed problem in "make-pathname" that returned an absolute path if given
a relative one without a directory argument.
- On 64-bit systems the feature identifier "64bit" is registered.
- Compiler
- Fixed various bugs in the type database.
- Bugfixes and improvements in the scrutinizer.
- In the flow-analysis pass, type-matching of combinations of
"list"/"list-of" types has been made more reliable.
- Syntax expander
- Make macro-renamed defines in begin bodies (inside modules)
visible to later forms. (#944).
- Runtime system
- Fixed incorrect code in the foreign argument conversion for
"unsigned-integer64" (#955).
- Core tools
- The runtime linker path for compiled executables was not set correctly
on FreeBSD systems.
- Fix install-extension breakage when the second arg contains pairs (SRC DST).
- Build system
- Prevent rebuilding of buildversion.scm on every make(1) on Windows.
problems with linking and rpaths, such as the NetBSD manifestation of
PR 47187, and probably others; I haven't tried yet but I suspect at
least my manifestation of PR 44985 will be fixed too.
Version 1.1.0
=============
svn.uri=:"http//common-lisp.net/project/armedbear/svn/trunk/abcl/"
(22 November 2012)
Features
--------
* A functioning (A)MOP implementation through the hard work of Rudi
Schlatte (@rudi)
* The implementation can be used across many more Quicklisp systems
through a process of extensive testing. Thanks @xach!
Nota bene: all of the following systems need patches to work as
of the 2012-10-13 Quicklisp. All patches have been accepted in
at least an initial form by the upstream maintainers.
** CLOSER-MOP
Quite possible with local patches
** CFFI
Needs patches to 2012-10-13 Quicklisp. [!!?]
*** Dynamic interfaces idempotent across process -- no more reloading
** HUNCHENTOOT
*** some bugs with underlying streams to be fixed in abcl-1.2-dev
** CXML
Basic XML parsing works. XPath still borked. [???]
* Java 5 bytecode Compiler
The internal Lisp-to-Java bytecode compiler has been hardened by
regression testing across Quicklisp libraries.
** Extensive interpreter/compiler bug fixes due to access to cl-test-suite [???] @antov
** large objects (?!?)
* The facility to construct runtime classes via JNEW-RUNTIME-CLASS (@astalla)
Pretty close to full coverage of primtives for creating synthethic
java classes at runtime. Easy to extend with your needs; sensible
defaults.
** Fields
*** getter/setters
** Annotations
* ASDF
** Stock ASDF-2.26 with conditional patches for the URL-PATHAME and
JAR-PATHNAME implementation extensions to ANSI.
* ABCL-CONTRIB
** ABCL-ASDF
Network installation of binary artifacts named by Maven POM uris.
*** checks at runtime if a given class is present in the
accessible classloaders
*** If the check for the presence of a class fails, find a
maven-3.0.4 binary locally, execute its Aether connector
to retrieve its transitive dependencies from the network.
** JSS
Java Syntax Sucks. q.v [lsw2]
Extensive bugfixing wrt. method resolution [#229]
** JFLI
A "captured from the wild" version of what @rich.hickey did before Clojure.
Changes
-------
* [#249] PATHNAME merge semantics DWIMs on an inferred type
Extends ANSI PATHNAME in a non-conforming manner, which was probably
already the case.
* [r13695] Reimplementation of global symbol macros to avoid using
the symbol's value slot.
* [r13696] DEFMACRO now supports documentation strings as per the
ANSI specification.
* [r13700] ABCL loads under the Weblogic 10.3 application server.
* [r13768] [#193] Allow zero-length symbols
* [r13785] JNEW-RUNTIME-CLASS gets fields and annotations
* [r13790] JNEW-RUNTIME-CLASS getters/setters for fields
* [r13796] [r13797] N3 DOAP description for ABCL
* [r13803] Build target 'abcl-contrib.jar' packages ABCL-CONTRIB
Fixes
-----
* ANSI [#241]
** &AUX parameters fixes RESTAS
* [#221] Stack exhaustsion on funcall in non-existing package
* [#113] DEFSTRUCT concurrency
* [#216][#211] Compiler
** stack inconsistency
* [#187] Better SORT and STABLE-SORT via Jorge Tavares [???]
injecting -Wall -Wno-error does not cause the test to produce the wrong
answer. (If it does, the wrong information is installed in /usr/include,
and ultimately provokes PR 47342.)
Same as -r1.8 of python27's patch-al.
