I had intended to migrate the ada framework to use gcc6-aux instead of
lang/gcc5-aux, but unfortunately there's been a regression on NetBSD.
It builds and tests perfectly on DragonFly and FreeBSD, but it only
builds on NetBSD. All the ACAT tests that involve tasking fail, but
the cause is unclear. All the modifications used on gcc5-aux for NetBSD
are present in gcc6-aux but pthread destruction results in a segfault.
Since then gcc5-aux support has been improved, so I'm putting this away
for a while. NetBSD has been removed from the platform support list
for now, but I'll review any patches I get to fix NetBSD tasking.
This compiler is based on gcc 6.2 and is primarily used for the Ada
frontend.
Many of these definitely do not depend on readline.
So there must be a different underlying problem, and that
should be tracked down instead of papering over it.

during handshake

- dgram: generalized send queue to handle close fixing a potential
throw when dgram socket is closed in the listening event handler.

The runpath issue only affected the x86-64 arch on NetBSD. The
spec change was only effective on i386, so relocating the change
enables the RUNPATH tag in the gcc libraries on the amd64 platform.
NetBSD doesn't seem to be honoring -rpath, at least not with binutils
from base. Using binutils from pkgsrc doesn't work either because it
uses the gold linker (for an unknown reason) which fails with an
"unsupported operation". As a result, gcc5-aux was limited to base
binutils for NetBSD 7 and later. The issue was never resolved.
New in version 1.3.12
* enhancement: on x86-64, compiled functions loaded from fasl
files can not be moved, but can be freed, by GC.
Additionally, COMPILE will produce immobile code
if SB-C::*COMPILE-TO-MEMORY-SPACE* is set to :IMMOBILE.
(Caution: the flag is experimental and subject to change.)
The benefits are better physical separation of code from
data, and potentially easier examination of live images by
external tools.
* enhancement: the docstring for SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE has been
amended to say that the :ROOT-STRUCTURES parameter is not
meaningless on gencgc, depending on the platform.
* bug fix: calling a named function (e.g. a DEFUN) concurrently
with redefining that same function could lead to execution of
random bytes.
* bug fix: yes-or-no-p accepts formatter functions (#1639490)
* bug fix: better handling of exceptions on macOS.
New in version 1.3.11
* minor incompatible change: SB-EXT:*INTEXP-MAXIMUM-EXPONENT*
is removed.
* enhancement: TRACE ... :REPORT {TRACE,NIL} now work as
advertised in the documentation string (based on patch by
Patrick Stein)
* enhancement: support unboxed signed-word structure slots on
x86, x86-64 and ARM64. (#377616)
* optimization: faster logical bit-array operations on
multidimensional arrays.
* optimization: better GC performance in the presence of many
threads. (patch by Ilya Perminov, #1339924)
* optimization: multiple-value-call is optimized with multiple
argument forms, not just one. (#753803)
* bug fix: MAKE-ALIEN-STRING returns the number of allocated
bytes as a second value as advertised (reported by Johann
'Myrkraverk' Oskarsson)
* bug fix: when TO-READTABLE is supplied to COPY-READTABLE, it
will contain only the macros in FROM-READTABLE and no others.
(#1631506)
* enhancement: gencgc has been modified for x86-64 on Linux and
macOS to a support mark-and-sweep as well as the traditional
copying strategy. It is conceivable that some applications
might be adversely affected. Please see ':immobile-space' in
'base-target-features.lisp-expr' for further details, and
possible reasons to disable this feature.
* enhancement: x86-64 supports shrinking the fixed overhead in
a structure from 2 words to 1 word, reducing memory
consumption in applications which create many small
structures.
pkgsrc change: rubygems dose not blame open-ended dependency unless verbose
option is enabled.
Ruby 2.3.2 Released Posted by nagachika on 15 Nov 2016
Ruby 2.3.2 has been released.
This is the TEENY version release of the stable 2.3 series.
This release contains update of RubyGems 2.5.2 and update of included ssl
certificates.
Ruby 2.3.3 Released Posted by nagachika on 21 Nov 2016
Ruby 2.3.3 has been released.
This release contains a bug fix about Refinements and Module#prepend. The
mixture use of Module#refine and Module#prepend to the same Class could cause
unexpected NoMethodError. This is a regression on Ruby 2.3.2 released last
week. See [Bug #12920] for details.
There are some bugfixes too. See the ChangeLog for details.
pkgsrc change: rubygems dose not blame open-ended dependency unless verbose
option is enabled.
Ruby 2.2.6 Released Posted by usa on 15 Nov 2016
Ruby 2.2.6 has been released.
This release includes new SSL certificates for RubyGems. And, this also
includes about 80 bug fixes after the previous release. See the ChangeLog for
details.
Two security-related issues were recently reported, and to address these issues
we have just released Go 1.6.4 and Go 1.7.4.
We recommend that all users update to one of these releases (if you're not sure
which, choose Go 1.7.4).
The issues addressed by these releases are:
On Darwin, user's trust preferences for root certificates were not honored. If
the user had a root certificate loaded in their Keychain that was explicitly
not trusted, a Go program would still verify a connection using that root
certificate. This is addressed by https://golang.org/cl/33721, tracked in
https://golang.org/issue/18141.
Thanks to Xy Ziemba for identifying and reporting this issue.
The net/http package's Request.ParseMultipartForm method starts writing to
temporary files once the request body size surpasses the given "maxMemory"
limit. It was possible for an attacker to generate a multipart request crafted
such that the server ran out of file descriptors. This is addressed by
https://golang.org/cl/30410, tracked in https://golang.org/issue/17965.
Thanks to Simon Rawet for the report.
Solves:
/usr/libexec/binutils225/elf/ld.gold: error: cannot find -lreadline
The missing specification is obvious on DragonFly because there's
no publically accessible version of readline in base.
This compiler is mainly used for Ada which normally does not require
gcc5-aux to be installed. Set it as a build dependency by default.
While here, remove obsolete NLS option check.
This large commit accomplishes the following:
1) Switch USE_LANGUAGES=ada to require lang/gcc5-aux (gcc 5.4) instead
of lang/gcc-aux (gcc 4.9.2) on gcc.mk
2) Bump affected ports and fix paths as necessary
3) Upgrade devel/gprbuild to the latest release
- No longer requires lang/gnat_util
- gprslave requires gcc6-aux, so it was disabled for now
4) Fix lang/gnat_util but set PKG_SKIP_REASON
- It has no further purpose in the pkgsrc tree
- It has no practical purpose outside of the pkgsrc tree
- Indicate intent to remove from tree in Jan. 2017
5) Set devel/GPS as failed with PKG_FAIL_REASON
- This version of GPS is several years old and at the time they were
strongly tied to compiler.
- Latest release of GPS require gcc6-aux (not available) and several
new and complex dependencies
- maintainer (me) has no interest to continue supporting it
- Leaving GPS in place until Jan 2017 to give another person chance to
upgrade and take over support
- Latest version in FreeBSD Ports Collection as a reference point
- crypto: The Decipher methods setAuthTag() and setAAD now return this.
- dns: Implemented {ttl: true} for resolve4() and resolve6().
- libuv: Upgrade to v1.10.1
- Fixed a potential buffer overflow when writing data to console on
Windows 10.
- process: Added a new external property to the data returned by
memoryUsage().
- tls: Fixed a memory leak when writes were queued on TLS connection that
was destroyed during handshake.
- V8 (dep): Upgrade to v5.4.500.43
- v8: The data returned by getHeapStatistics() now includes three new
fields: malloced_memory, peak_malloced_memory, and does_zap_garbage.
The compiler failed to build on DragonFly and I think it was because
--enable-shared wasn't explicitly set. Previously this was the default
but maybe it's not anymore. While here I added a new (non-default)
option to build via a long 3 stages instead of a quick single stage.
Versioned as 1.8.5 despite the distfile version, as that seemed like
a confusing misnomer (especially compared to other branches versioning).
SpiderMonkey is the code-name for the Mozilla's C implementation of JavaScript.
* Drop CppBackend. It is removed.

* LLVM IR: new intrinsics etc.
* Change LLVM IPO model

* Improve the ARM targets, ARMv8.2-A support etc.
* Improve the MIPS targets
* Improve the PowerPC target, default optim O3 to O2
* Improve the X86 target, SKylake AVX-512 etc.
