Local pkgsrc changes are minimal: date change and checksum updates.
Upstream changes are ... many, please refer to

for pointers to the buck tracker and list of resolves issues.
natively (that is, only to byte-code).
This consists of two parts:
a) a patch to ocamldoc/Makefile to make it create the man pages using
the interpreted ocamldoc - this exists for both types of architectures,
so is safe. (This will be sent up-stream).
b) move a common shared library file to the common PLIST, and a lot of
files (natively compiled versions of the ML modules and natively compiled
versions of a few binaries) to PLIST.opt.
This has been build-tested on i386 (cross-compiled from amd64) and on
arm. unison builds and works.
"make test" shows the same amount of passed and failed tests (mostly
non-found libraries) as before; but this needs more investigation.
An additional issue to solve (with upstream) is that there's no easy way
to run the part of the test suite that would work on byte-code-only
architectures.
New in 5.11.9
Lots of changes. Mostly relevant to (semantic) web.
Also some Windows enhancements, such as better errors from sockets
and portability of extended file operations library.
New in 5.11.8
This version is exactly the same as version 5.10.2.
Mostly a bugfixing release.
New 5.11.7
Lots of stuff. The highlight is on environment issues (PlDoc, PceEmacs),
but there is a lot of other stuff as well.
If you use PlDoc, be aware that the previous release has a security issue.
New in 5.11.6
Many bug fixes and big speedup for some RDF applications (notably
those involving many graphs). The rest are mainly minor issues.
New in 5.11.5
This is a bug-fix release. This version also includes some of
the results of the ISO WG17 meeting in Edinburgh.
There is a modification to absolute_file_name/3 with regard to
directory handling.
There is -hopefully- a fix for a weird conflict around Bool when
compiling using Macports.
Pkgsrc changes:
o Copy FreeBSD's method to determine physical memory (fixed upstream
in later versions)
o Adapt to changes in the installed contents.

Main changes:
Includes a new tactic (nsatz, standing for Hilbert's NullStellensatz, that
extends ring to systems of polynomial equations) and a few new libraries (a
certification of mergesort, a new library of finite sets with computational and
logical contents separated).
This version also comes with many improvements of existing features, especially
regarding the tactics, the module system, extraction, the type classes, the
program command, libraries, coqdoc. Here is an excerpt:
* new operator <+ for conveniently chaining application of functors
* new round of extension of the modular library of arithmetic
* support for matching terms with binders in Ltac,
* linking notations in coqdoc,

New in Yap-6.2.0:
YAP now includes the ProbLog language, developed at Leuven.
Better compatibility with SWI-Prolog, YAP now includes most
of the SWI web stuff, the constraint solvers, the plunit code,
and the Java and python interfaces.
The MYDDAS SQL and odbc interfaces are now integrated and
enabled by default.
YAP also now includes support for rational numbers, a lot of new
math operations, lots of bug fixes, a few engine optimisations.
New libraries include Neumerkel's lambda library, a first step
at coinduction support, and Nicos excellent R-interface.
The co-routing code has been totally cleaned up.
Changes in Yap-6.0.7:
NEW: YAP_SetYAPFlag (request from Theo Mantadelis).
NEW: support div/2 as per WG17.
FIXED: restore from / file should just try that file.
FIXED: bad things can happen to P when user code is called (obs from Ingo Thon).
NEW: coinduction.yap.
FIXED: remove leftover files including two lib*.a (obs from Bernd Gutmann).
FIXED: Make clean should result in recompiling all *.o (obs from Bernd Gutmann).
NEW: Ulrich Neumerkel's lambda library.
DELETE: ^/2 and ^/3 as grammar built-ins.
FIXED: make install in clpqr was broken if we used local install_sh .
DELETE: atan/2 arithmetic function, use atan2/2 instead (WG17).
FIXED: compilation in Solaris was broken because of conflict in declaration of gethostname.
FIXED: acyclic_term/1 is now built-in (WG17).

Parrot 2.9.1 News:
- This is a bugfix release to address an excessive slowdown in
the Rakudo Perl 6 build. If you run out of memory on a box with
< 512 MB physical RAM, please report it to us.
Parrot 2.9.0 News:
- Core
+ Parrot and Rakudo's build and tests can now be run under the profiling
runcore
+ IPv6 is now detected, laying the groundwork for future networking
improvements
+ mk_language_shell.pl and create_language.pl no longer require an
installed parrot
+ String PMC's 'reverse' method is now faster and supports all encodings
+ improvements and simplifications in internal string processing
+ Added API for adding STRINGs to the gc root set
+ Speed up ord, substr, index and string comparison opcodes
- Testing
+ "make smoke" supports parallel testing by honoring TEST_JOBS
+ Added tests for Socket PMC, StringBuilder PMC, ByteBuffer PMC,
mk_language_shell.pl, create_language.pl
+ Fixed "Configure.pl" about missing tests
+ Parrot and Rakudo Perl 6 now have access to the GCC Compile Farm
+ Testing on Darwin/PPC
- Git Migration
+ Most developer tools have been ported to Git
+ Majority of developer docs have been written for Git
- Platforms
+ Parrot can now be built on Minix
* libc++ and LLDB are major new additions to the LLVM collective.
* LLVM 2.8 now has pretty decent support for debugging optimized code.
You should be able to reliably get debug info for function arguments,
assuming that the value is actually available where you have stopped.
* A new 'llvm-diff' tool is available that does a semantic diff of .ll files.
* The MC subproject has made major progress in this release. Direct .o file
writing support for darwin/x86[-64] is now reliable and support for other
targets and object file formats are in progress.
* The memcpy, memmove, and memset intrinsics now take address space qualified
pointers and a bit to indicate whether the transfer is "volatile" or not.
* Per-instruction debug info metadata is much faster and uses less memory by
using the new DebugLoc class.
* LLVM IR now has a more formalized concept of "trap values", which allow the
optimizer to optimize more aggressively in the presence of undefined behavior,
while still producing predictable results.
* LLVM IR now supports two new linkage types (linker_private_weak and
linker_private_weak_def_auto) which map onto some obscure MachO concepts.
* The optimizer now has support for updating debug information as it goes.
A key aspect of this is the new llvm.dbg.value intrinsic. This intrinsic
represents debug info for variables that are promoted to SSA values
(typically by mem2reg or the -scalarrepl passes).
* The JumpThreading pass is now much more aggressive about implied value
relations, allowing it to thread conditions like "a == 4" when a is known to
be 13 in one of the predecessors of a block. It does this in conjunction with
the new LazyValueInfo analysis pass.
* The new RegionInfo analysis pass identifies single-entry single-exit regions
in the CFG. You can play with it with the "opt -regions analyze" or "opt
-view-regions" commands.
* The loop optimizer has significantly improved strength reduction and analysis
capabilities. Notably it is able to build on the trap value and signed
integer overflow information to optimize <= and >= loops.
* The CallGraphSCCPassManager now has some basic support for iterating within
an SCC when a optimizer devirtualizes a function call. This allows inlining
through indirect call sites that are devirtualized by store-load forwarding
and other optimizations.
* The new -loweratomic pass is available to lower atomic instructions into
their non-atomic form. This can be useful to optimize generic code that
expects to run in a single-threaded environment.
This version is compatible with the ocaml 3.12.0 in tree
Fix pkg/43956 and pkg/43957
Changes:
Camlp5 Version 5.15:
* [09 Aug 10] Updated compatibility for OCaml current version 3.12.1.
* [09 Aug 10] Upgraded compatibility for OCaml released version 3.12.0.
* [29 Jul 10] Added ability to write AST quotations with a colon before
the '<' (e.g. "<:expr:< foo >>") which, in pattern position, generates
a binding of the variable "loc" at the top node:
1/ normal usage (still working):
"fun [ <:expr< x >> -> 0 ]"
which is equivalent to:
"fun [ MLast.ExLid _ (Ploc.VaVal "x") -> 0 ]
2/ new usage:
"fun [ <:expr:< x >> -> 0 ]"
which is equivalent to:
"fun [ MLast.ExLid loc (Ploc.VaVal "x") -> 0 ]
* [21 Jun 10] Added compatibility for OCaml trunk version 3.13.0.
* [29 Apr 10] Fixed bug in pr_depend.cmo: a.B.c did not add module B.
