in librt and remove ffmpeg patch, which is no longer needed.
Also, I've changed options.mk so that selecting 'samplerate' implies
'sndfile', as the former is dependent on the latter.
a getline() function taken from nbftp--bothering with gnulib was too
annoying. It works for me on NetBSD-current, but please let me
know if there are any problems.
I've also extended the check for sched_get_priority_max(3)--both here
and in audio/moc--to look in librt prior to giving up. This allows
moc to run with realtime priority on NetBSD-current; unfortunately,
presently this requires root perms.
* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_GetAlias): fix for [Bug 1882373]
* generic/regguts.h, generic/regc_color.c, generic/regc_nfa.c:
Fixes for problems created when processing regular expressions that
generate very large automata. An enormous number of thanks to Will
Drewry <wad@google.com>, Tavis Ormandy <taviso@google.com>, and Tom
Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> from the Postgresql crowd for their help in
tracking these problems down. [Bug 1810264]
* unix/tclUnixCompat.c (TclpGetHostByName): Really applied
the change noted on 2007-11-13 by dkf below.
* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclGetOpenMode): Only set the O_APPEND flag
* tests/ioUtil.test (ioUtil-4.1): on a channel for the 'a'
mode and not for 'a+'. [Bug 1773127] (backport from HEAD)
* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): Prevent shimmering crash
when -exact and -integer/-real are mixed. [Bug 1844789]
* generic/tclThread.c: Back-port locking changes from Tcl8.5
in Tcl_Mutex/ConditionFinlize. Now we properly master-lock
the finalization of sync primitives.
* generic/regc_nfa.c: Fixed infinite loop in the regexp compiler
* generic/regcomp.c: [Bug 1810038]. Corrected looping logic in
* tests/regexp.test: fixempties() to avoid wasting time walking a
list of dead states [Bug 1832612]. Convert optst() from expensive
no-op to a cheap no-op. Improve newline usage in debug output.
* unix/tclUnixCompat.c (TclpGetHostByName): The six-argument form of
getaddressbyname_r() uses the fifth argument to indicate whether the
lookup succeeded or not on at least one platform. [Bug 1618235]
* generic/regc_lex.c (lexescape): Ensure that backreference numbers
can't overflow a signed int in a way that breaks things. [Bug 1810264]
* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseBraces): fix for possible read
after the end of buffer, [Bug 1813528] (Joe Mistachkin).
* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_FindCommandFromObj): fix finding a deleted
command; cannot trigger this from Tcl itself, but crash reported
on xotcl. This check is new to 8.4 but exists in 8.5, so this is a
backport or something. Thanks Gustaf Neumann.
* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_DecrRefCount): Update change from 2006-05-29
to make macro more warning-robust in unbraced if code.
GIT v1.5.4.5 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.4.4
--------------------
* "git fetch there" when the URL information came from the Cogito style
branches/there file did not update refs/heads/there (regression in
1.5.4).
* Bogus refspec configuration such as "remote.there.fetch = =" were not
detected as errors (regressionin 1.5.4).
* You couldn't specify a custom editor whose path contains a whitespace
via GIT_EDITOR (and core.editor).
* The subdirectory filter to "git filter-branch" mishandled a history
where the subdirectory becomes empty and then later becomes non-empty.
* "git shortlog" gave an empty line if the original commit message was
malformed (e.g. a botched import from foreign SCM). Now it finds the
first non-empty line and uses it for better information.
* When the user fails to give a revision parameter to "git svn", an error
from the Perl interpreter was issued because the script lacked proper
error checking.
* After "git rebase" stopped due to conflicts, if the user played with
"git reset" and friends, "git rebase --abort" failed to go back to the
correct commit.
* Additional work trees prepared with git-new-workdir (in contrib/) did
not share git-svn metadata directory .git/svn with the original.
* "git-merge-recursive" did not mark addition of the same path with
different filemodes correctly as a conflict.
* "gitweb" gave malformed URL when pathinfo stype paths are in use.
* "-n" stands for "--no-tags" again for "git fetch".
* "git format-patch" did not detect the need to add 8-bit MIME header
when the user used format.header configuration.
* "rev~" revision specifier used to mean "rev", which was inconsistent
with how "rev^" worked. Now "rev~" is the same as "rev~1" (hence it
also is the same as "rev^1"), and "rev~0" is the same as "rev^0"
(i.e. it has to be a commit).
* "git quiltimport" did not grok empty lines, lines in "file -pNNN"
format to specify the prefix levels and lines with trailing comments.
* "git rebase -m" triggered pre-commit verification, which made
"rebase --continue" impossible.
As usual, it also comes with many documentation fixes and clarifications.
Security
* Fixed an issue where newsfeed prompts could cause Opera to execute
arbitrary code, as reported by Michal Zalewski. See our advisory.
http://www.opera.com/support/search/view/881/
* Solved an issue where resized canvas patterns could cause Opera to
execute arbitrary code, as reported by Michal Zalewski. See our
advisory. http://www.opera.com/support/search/view/882/
* Improved keyboard handling of password inputs, as reported by Trystan S.
Miscellaneous
* Fixed a BitTorrent transfer stability issue.
* Resolved stablity issues with the Acid 3 test.
* Additional stability fixes.
