See below for the list of changes. - Replace the HOMEPAGE with the url used in the document such as README etc. - Drop minoura@ from MAINTAINER as per his request on twitter. Brief summary of Gauche 0.9.2: [New Features] * Case mapping and character properties are fully supported, compatible to R6RS and R7RS draft (both based on Unicode standard). Character-wise case mapping (char-upcase etc.) and property queries (char-alphabetic?, char-general-category, etc.) are built-in. Context-aware string case mapping (string-upcase etc.) is provided in the new text.unicode module. (Note: srfi-13's string-upcase etc. are unchanged; they are defined to use simple case mappings.) The text.unicode module also provides conversion between utf-8/utf-16 and Unicode codepoints. * Windows binary distribution is now in MS installer (*.msi) format, created with WiX. It's safer than the previous *.exe format created by NSIS, which had a bug that smashes PATH settings when it is too long. * A convenient wrapper for atomic execution is added in gauche.threads. See this intro post. * Benchmarking utilities resembles to Perl's Benchmark module is now available in gauche.time. See this post for an introduction. * with-lock-file: A long-awaited feature to use lock files conveniently. It is in file.util module. * Added full support of srfi-60, integer bitwise operations. * gauche.cgen: Some API that Gauche uses to generate C code become public. See the manual for the details. [Incompatibile Changes] * control.thread-pool: add-job! now takes timeout argument. If it is omitted and the job queue is full, add-job! blocks. It is a change from 0.9.1, in which add-job! returns immediately in such case. To get the same behavior, pass 0 explicitly to the timeout argument. The argument order of wait-all is also changed to take timeout optional argument first. In 0.9.1 it never timeouts. * If --enable-multibyte flag is given to ./configure without explicit encoding, we now assume utf-8. It used to be euc-jp. This is for the consistency. We don't think this change affects many, for the document has always been told to give explicit encoding name for this option. * The --enable-ipv6 configure option is turned on by default. It shouldn't cause problems on modern OSes. If you ever get a compile error in gauche.net module on a platform that lacks modern API, specify --disable-ipv6 option to ./configure. * (This is an internal change of undocumented feature. We mention it just in case if some extension packages depend on this.) In the initialization code generated by genstub or precomp, it used to be possible to refer to the current module by mod. Now you should use Scm_CurrentModule() instead. Also, gauche.cgen.unit now doesn't include automatically. [Improvements] * The compiler is improved to avoid creating a closure at execution time when it doesn't close local environment. For example, (map (^x (* x x)) lis) doesn't create a closure; instead, the internal lambda is compiled as if it is a toplevel-defined procedure. (Yeah, it's a simple lambda lifting. We didn't do it since it could slow down the compiler. Now the compiler is efficient enough to handle it.) * Supports zero or multi-argument unquote/unquote-splicing, as defined in R6RS. * sys-exec and sys-fork-and-exec now supports :detached keyword argument to make the child process detached from the parent's process group. * Buliltin reverse and reverse! takes optional list-tail argument. * A new builtin procedure map* that can deal with dotted list. * Common Lisp-like ecase macro is added. * The extended lambda formals (:key, :optional, etc) are now available in define-method as well. * New built-in function sys-clearenv, useful to fork subprocess securely. * rxmatch-case accepts (else => proc) form, just like case. * Socket address objects (e.g. ) can now be compared by equal? based on its content. Useful to put them in a hashtable, for example. * gauche.uvector: A new procedure uvector-copy! that can copy any type of uvectors. * gauche.test: A new test expected result constructor test-one-of allows to check if the test result matches any one of possible outcomes. * control.thread-pool: Now a pool raises condition if the pool has already be shut down and no longer accepting new jobs. terminate-all now takes :cancel-queued-jobs keyword argument to stop the pool immediately, instead of waiting for all the jobs to be finished. Canceled jobs are marked as killed . New APIs: thread-pool-results, thread-pool-shut-down?. * rfc.json: Allow construct-json to take optional output port for the consistency. * rfc.uri: A new procedure uri-merge that can be resolve a relative uri in regart to a base uri. * rfc.cookie: Recognize :http-only cookie attribute introduced in RFC6265. * Now the tilde `~' expansion of sys-normalize-pathname works on Windows as well to refer to the current user's home directory; it tries environment variables heuristically to find it. To refer to other user's home directory by ~user is still only available on Unix platforms, though. * util.combinations: combinations is optimized to handle leaf cases efficiently. [Bux fixes] * Fixed a bug that the number parser hangs when reading 2.2250738585072012e-308. * Integer multiplication routine had a code that depended on undefined behavior of C; it worked on gcc but revealed the bug on clang-llvm. * Fixed a module bug on the visibility of bindings of extended modules. * gauche.parameter: Fixed a couple of bugs on parameter objects. * Numeric comparison procedures such as < didn't work correctly when more than four arguments were given. The bug was introduced by incorrect optimization. * Fixed bugs in lognot, logand, logior and logxor, which crashed when non-integer ratinoal numbers are passed. * port->string, port->string-list: These procedures returned prematurely when the input contains an illegal byte sequence for internal encoding. Now they return an incomplete string instead. * srfi-1: Some srfi-1 procedures that are built-in were not exported, causing errors when you wanted to import them selectively, e.g. (use srfi-1 :only (fold)). * util.queue: Fixed list->queue to work. * binary.pack: Fixed a bug that the result may be truncated if the input contains byte sequences that can be interpreted as invalid character multibyte sequences. * srfi-42: Fixed a hygiene bug; the previous versions failed when only toplevel macros are imported using :only import option. * rfc.json: Fixed a bug that didn't escape double-quotes in the string, and didn't handle empty array. * Coding-aware ports didn't count lines correctly in CR-only or CRLF line endings. * Fixed a problem that caused crash after changing metaclasses of a class metaobject. An additional protection mechanism is in place in the class metaobject so that it won't be in an inconsistent state unexpectedly. * Fixed sys-setenv in which you couldn't omit the overwrite argument, even if it was described optional. * Fixed build problem of gauche.net on Solaris. * Fixed a bug in gauche-package that caused an error when *load-path* contained a nonexistent path. * Fixed a bug in string comparison routine that surfaces in a special architecture. * The printed output of
