Boost
boost
With every new release of Boost come new components and libraries. For instance, Boost 1.46 brings ICL, and Boost 1.45 had already brought MSM and Polygon.
Moreover, the existing components and libraries are enhanced with new features and bug fixes. For instance, the Boost.Math components have now become better than the GSL for support to statistical analysis.
For full details, see the Boost pages at http://www.boost.org/
gdb
Fedora 15 features GDB release 7.3. This, together with Archer and Fedora extensions improves debugging experience on Fedora by making the debugger more powerful. The majority of these features were written by Red Hat engineers, thus benefiting all gdb users. New features for the Fedora 15 release are not limited to:
- Support for breakpoints at SystemTap markers (probes)
- Support for using labels in the program's source
- OpenCL language debugging support
- Thread debugging of core dumps - priting
pthread_tof threads and their TLS variables - Python scripting improvements not limited to:
- GDB values in Python are now callable if the value represents a function address.
- New module gdb.types for inferior types.
- New module gdb.printing for writing and registering pretty-printers.
More features are listed upstream above the line *** Changes in GDB 7.2.
Numerous important packages within Fedora are pre-built with SystemTap static markers, and these can now be used as the target for breakpoints in gdb.
OCaml
Fedora 15 includes OCaml 3.12, a major new release of the OCaml language and compiler.
New language features include:
- modules are now first-class values
- nested module open
- open record notation
- mark OO methods which must be overridden in subclasses
- limited support for delimited overloading in the language
Python
The system Python 3 stack has been upgraded to 3.2 (the system Python 2 stack remains at 2.7), bringing in hundreds of fixes and tweaks; for a list of changes refer to http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.2.html
