From this release we don't use external Boehm GC library because
gauche needs GC to be built with special compilation options.
New features in 0.8.6:
* New modules:
+ dbi: Database independent access layer, providing unified
access to various relational databases. You need separate
"driver" packages to access the actual RDBMS. There are a
few driver packages available at
http://www.kahua.org/cgi-bin/kahua.fcgi/kahua-web/show/dev/DBI/.
Note: If you have been using the separate dbi module, make
sure you remove it before using the new dbi and dbd
modules. You can find the old dbi.scm under somewhere like
/usr/local/share/gauche/site/lib (the actualy directory
depends on the configuration when you've installed the dbi
module).
+ util.relation: A framework to work with relations (as defined
by Codd). The result of database access via dbi is represened as
a relation.
+ text.sql: SQL parser/constructor. Full features are not
implemented yet, but used in dbi module for prepared queries.
* New SRFIs:
+ SRFI-40 (Library of streams) as util.stream.
+ SRFI-43 (vector library) as srfi-43.
+ SRFI-45 (Primitives for Expressing Iterative Lazy
Algorithms) : built-in.
* New built-in proceduers global-variable-bound? and
glboal-variable-ref. The former supersedes symbol-bound? (
symbol-bound? is now deprecated and will go away in the future
releases. Code that uses symbol-bound? should change it to
global-variable-bound?. ). The latter removes some need of using
eval just to peek the value of the global variable.
* New regexp procedures: regexp-replace*, regexp-replace-all*,
regexp-case-fold?.
* Stack overflow handling is largely improved. You can see better
performance if your script frequently oveflows the stack.
0.8.5 was a maintainance release.
0.8.4:
Gauche 0.8.4:
The compiler and VM have been rewritten. Now Gauche runs faster with
less memory (as fast as 1.9x, or cosumes 0.7x memory, in best cases of
our tests. But your mileage may vary.) The compiler now does simple
closure optimization, so the typical loop-by-local-closure style code
will get the advantage. On the other hand, you won't see much gain in
OO-heavy or library-heavy programs.
Other changes:
* New features:
+ srfi-42 (Eager comprehension) is supported.
+ srfi-55 (require-extension) is supported.
+ A simple sampling profiler is implemented to help tuning
programs. Check out "Profiling and tuning" section of the
reference manual. The profiler may not be available on all
platforms.
+ We provide an experimenal Windows/MinGW binary package for
the convenience. See download page.
Changes since 4.48:
- Added a check for .include lines in all Makefiles and *.mk files to make
sure that only existant files are referenced and that pkgsrc packages do
not contain references to packages in pkgsrc-wip.
- Extended the --autofix option to all Makefile* and *.mk files. Before, only the
package Makefile could be fixed.
- Rewrote the detection of direct use of tool names.
- Append-only lists may be initialized using the "?=" operator.
- The typical form of ShellWords for CONFIGURE_ARGS, --foo=${FOODIR}, is checked for
quoting errors.
- All PKG_OPTIONs are checked whether they are documented in mk/defaults/\
options.description.
- Many small fixes and improvements.
Notable changes from NEWS:
* Major changes in 2.0.2
* Major changes in 2.0.1
** New add-on riece-xfaceb.el, which displays X-Face/Colour Face in
IRC buffers. (Steve Youngs)
* Major changes in 2.0.0
** Support multiple coding-systems on a server.
You can use different coding-systems for different channels. (ueno)
For example:
(setq riece-channel-coding-system-alist
'(("#euc-jp" . euc-jp)
("#utf-8 irc.freenode.net" . utf-8)))
** Support uninstall, unload (dangerous) operations for add-ons.
Now you can fully customize riece-addons in the add-on listing

channel. (ueno)
** New add-on riece-shrink-buffer.el, which now takes care of periodic
buffer shrinking. If you have set riece-max-buffer-size, you will
need to enable the riece-shrink-buffer add-on in the add-on listing
mode. (ueno)

Changes from NEWS:
The focus of this release is on the exciting new features sponsored by
Google via their Summer of Code program. However, we have quite a bunch of
other stuff too. Here are the highlights:
* Connectors: A new Connector tool implements creation, editing, and
autorouting (object-avoiding) of connector lines between objects.
Indispensable for diagramming. (A Google SoC project.)
* Inkboard collaborative editing: You can now connect to other Inkscape
users over the Net and edit a shared document together, watching
others' changes and making yours! (A Google SoC project.)
* Pressure and tilt sensitivity: the Calligraphy tool can now use a
tablet pen with pressure/tilt support to vary the width and angle of
the calligraphic stroke.
* Better node editing: You can freely drag/bend/stretch a Bezier curve
by any point (not only by a node), as well as add a new node at any
point on the curve.
* New extensions for envelope distortion, whirling, and adding nodes.
* Improved precision, expanded limits, many usability improvements and
bugfixes.
* A complete rewrite of date handling code, with improved timezone support.
* Significant performance improvements compared to PHP 5.0.X.
* PDO extension is now enabled by default (separate pkg for pkgsrc)
* Over 30 new functions in various extensions and built-in functionality.

for samba-3.0.20b that are applied as part of this update include:
http://www.samba.org/samba/patches/print_lprm.patchhttp://www.samba.org/samba/patches/quota.patchhttp://www.samba.org/samba/patches/bug3201_wbinfo.patch
This fixes PRs pkg/31352 and pkg/31991. Important changes that were
made as part of porting this Samba release to pkgsrc include the
following:
* The new release model for Samba includes distributing patches for
urgent bug fixes that will be included in the next release of Samba,
and are available at http://www.samba.org/samba/patches/. Since
these patches are rather generically named, we download all DISTFILES
and PATCHFILES for Samba into a ${DISTNAME}-specific directory.
* The default configuration for the samba package no longer builds the
"winbind" portions of samba, which are really only useful when
attempting to unify logons between Unix and Microsoft Windows. When
the "winbind" option is specified, we also build the RID and AD idmap
backends, which allow sharing UIDs/GIDs across Unix machines.
* New package options have been added to the build: "mysql", "pgsql",
and "xml" allow adding optional support for experimental passdb
storage backends, and "winbind" allows for optionally building the
winbindd daemon and associated plugins.
* Two new smb.conf options were added -- "passwd expand gecos" and
"state directory". The first describes whether "&" in the GECOS
field of a passwd db entry is expanded to the login name. The
second describes the location where the persistent-state database
files are stored.
* Luke Mewburn contributed code to allow nss_winbind.so to work properly
on supported NetBSD systems. The FreeBSD NSS winbind code should
probably be replaced with a suitably tweaked version of the NetBSD
code since the latter is much more complete in the functions that are
provided, but I'll leave that to freebsd-pkg-people.
* Samba dumps all of its files into "lock directory", but some of them
need to persist across reboots. We make a distinction between these
files and the temporary files that are re-created by the Samba
daemons when they are restarted -- the former are now stored in a
"state directory" and the latter are stored in the "lock directory".
This is modeled after the Debian patch to Samba located in:
packaging/Debian/debian-unstable/patches/fhs.patch
The "lock directory" default has been moved to ${VARBASE}/run/samba
to emphasize the temporary status of the files stored in that
directory.
* Samba persists in using PAM_AUTHTOK_RECOVER_ERR, when there is almost
universal agreement that PAM_AUTHTOK_RECOVERY_ERR is the right
constant to use. Even the Linux-PAM distribution ensures that
PAM_AUTHTOK_RECOVERY_ERR is correctly defined. To work around this,
we define PAM_AUTHTOK_RECOVER_ERR appropriately in all the places
where it is used.
* The configure script checks for OpenSSL's libcrypto.so by looking
for the symbol "des_set_key". However, libcrypto.so might not
contain that symbol because the DES functions might come from a
separate library, e.g. libdes.so. In this case, the configure script
will think that libcrypto.so is not available, when it actually may
be. Instead, look for EVP_des_cbc, which is always provided by
libcrypto.so.
* Add some missing $(PASSDB_LIBS) references to the Makefile to fix
compilation problems if the experimental passdb backends are statically
compiled into the Samba suite programs.
* Fix compilation problems in sam/idmap_rid.c and sam/idmap_ad.c if the
"rid" and "ad" idmap backends are statically compiled into winbindd.
Changes between version 3.0.14a and 3.0.20b include:
o Reporting files as read-only instead of returning the correct error
code of "access denied"
o File system quota support defects
o Crash bugs caused by incompatibilities on 64-bit systems.
o User Manager interoperability problems.
o Support for several new Win32 rpc pipes.
o New 'net rpc service' tool for managing Win32 services.
o Capability to set the owner on new files and directory based on the
parent's ownership.
o Experimental, asynchronous IO file serving support.
o Support for Microsoft Print Migrator.
o New Winbind IDmap plugin (ad) for retrieving uid and gid from AD
servers which maintain the SFU user and group attributes.
o Rewritten support for POSIX pathnames when utilizing the Linux CIFS
fs client.
o New asynchronous winbindd.
o New Windows NT registry file I/O library.
o New user right (SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege) added.
o New "net share migrate" options.
- Documented the --recursive option.
- Added an option -Cmk for checking .mk files besides buildlink3.mk.
- pkglint can handle individual files on the command line, not only
packages. (experimental)
