Changes between 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 (10-Aug-2006 to 15-Aug-2006)
*) Remove a trailing whitespace in mm.pod which
confused pod2html(1) and generated bad output.
[Neil Conway <neilc@samurai.com>]
Changes between 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 (02-Sep-2005 to 10-Aug-2006)
*) Add new API function MM_reset() and mm_reset().
[Neil Conway <neilc@samurai.com>]
*) Upgraded build environment to GNU shtool 2.0.6,
GNU libtool 1.5.22 and GNU autoconf 2.60.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Fix spelling errors in manual page mm(3) and corrected
description of mm_sizeof() function.
[Neil Conway <neilc@samurai.com>]
Changes between 1.3.1 and 1.4.0 (12-Sep-2003 to 02-Sep-2005)
*) Optimize insertion of free memory chunks by merging with
the spare area if possible to decrease memory fragmentation.
*) Fix mm_realloc() function: If the memory chunk passed to mm_realloc()
can't be extended and a new chunk must be allocated, the old memory
is copied into the new chunk with a call to memcpy(3). However, the
used size is the length of the new data and will cause memcpy(3) to
access memory beyond the old data chunk's boundaries.
[Kirk Petersen]
*) Upgraded build environment to GNU Libtool 1.5.20 and GNU shtool 2.0.2
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Updated all copyright messages for year 2005.
[Ralf S. Engelschall]
*) Upgraded build environment to GNU Shtool 2.0.1,
GNU Libtool 1.5.8 and Autoconf 2.59.
Changes 1.3.0:
*) Correctly cleanup under MM_SHMT_MMZERO in case of a shared
memory segment creation error.
*) Close the filedescriptor of the underlying object immediately
after mmap(2)'ing it in case of MM_SHMT_MMPOSX, MM_SHMT_MMZERO
and MM_SHMT_MMFILE.
*) Use "close-on-exec" semantic on internal file descriptors if
underlying platform supports this feature. This makes sure the file
descriptors are closed by the kernel upon execution of exec(3) by
the application.
buildlink2.mk files back into the main trunk. This provides sufficient
buildlink2 infrastructure to start merging other packages from the
buildlink2 branch that have already been converted to use the buildlink2
framework.
