alex

2.3.1 - site below shows last release as 2.2 a year+ ago

(http://haskell.org/alex/)

bzr

1.11

NEW FEATURES:

  • Add support for bzr tags -r 1..2, that is we now support showing tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
  • authentication.conf now accepts pluggable read-only credential stores. Such a plugin (netrc_credential_store) is now included, handles the $HOME/.netrc file and can server as an example to implement other plugins. (Vincent Ladeuil)
  • shelve --list can now be used to list shelved changes. (Aaron Bentley)

IMPROVEMENTS:

  • Add trailing slash to directories in all output of bzr ls, except bzr ls --null. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
  • bzr revision-info now supports a -d option to specify an alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
  • Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one. Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for processes which drag in shell extensions. (Mark Hammond)
  • Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
  • When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)

clisp

2.47 (2008-10-23)

Important notes


  • LOAD now uses DIRECTORY only for wild *LOAD-PATHS* components, thus speeding up the most common cases and preventing the denial-of-service attack whereas CLISP would not start if a file with a name incompatible with *PATHNAME-ENCODING* is present in USER-HOMEDIR-PATHNAME.


  • Bug fixes:
    • Comparison of floats and rationals never underflows. [ 2014262 ]
    • When failing to convert a huge LONG-FLOAT to a RATIONAL, signal an ARITHMETIC-ERROR instead of blowing the stack. [ 2015118 ]
    • Restored TYPECODES g++ compilation [ 2015118 ], which allowed fixing a few GC-safety bugs.
    • Fixed a segfault when signaling some UNBOUND-VARIABLE errors in some interpreted code on MacOS X (introduced in 2.46). [ 2020784 ] Thanks to Vladimir Tzankov <vtzankov@gmail.com>.
    • Fixed input after switching a :DOS stream to binary. [ 2022362 ]
    • Support circular objects in EQUAL and EQUALP hash-tables. [ 2029069 ]
    • Avoid C namespace pollution. [ 2146126 ]
    • Fix timeout precision in NEW-CLX. [ 2188102 ]


  • ANSI compliance:
    • The sets of declaration and type names are disjoint.
    • FLET, LABELS and MACROLET respect declarations.

0,7,0

User-visible changes between 0.6.2 and 0.7.0:

Requirements: : At run-time requires libtool and gcc (for the libcc C interface) and gdb (for the disassembler (SEE)) on some platforms.

Installation: 

   support for DESTDIR, POST_INSTALL, INSTALL_SCRIPT 
   automatic performance tuning on building (--enable-force-reg unnecessary) 
   report performance and functionality problems at end of "make" 
   autogen.sh now exists

License: 

   Changed to GPLv3

Bug fixes 

   Now works with address-space randomization. 
   The single-step debugger works again in some engines. 
   Many others.

Ports: 

   AMD64, ARM, IA-64 (Itanium): better performance 
   PPC, PPC64: disassembler and assembler 
   Gforth EC: R8C, 4stack, misc, 8086 work 
   MacOS X: better support

Invocation: 

   New flags --ignore-async-signals, --vm-commit (default overcommit), --print-sequences

Forth 200x: 

   X:extension-query: produce true for all implemented extensions 
   X:required REQUIRED etc. (not new) 
   X:defined: [DEFINED] and [UNDEFINED]

Number prefixes: 

   0x is a hex prefix: 0xff and 0XfF now produces (decimal) 255 
   is a decimal prefix: 10 now produces (decimal) 10 
   Signs after the number prefix are now accepted, e.g, -50. 
   ' now only handles a single (x)char: 'ab is no longer accepted, 'a' now produces (decimal) 97

Unicode support (currently supports only uniform encoding): 

   added xchars words for dealing with variable-width multi-byte characters 
   provide 8bit (ISO Latin 1) and UTF-8 support for xchars

New words: 

   LIB-ERROR (complements OPEN-LIB)
