-4.3.7
++4.4.0
+
+ - the system can now be built with llvm-gcc and/or "clang" (the
+ LLVM C compiler which doesn't use the GNU C frontend)
+ - added new option `-trunk' to `chicken-install', which forces
+ building and installing the development version of extensions
+ in combination with `-t local'
+ - added new option `-deploy' to `chicken-install', which builds
+ extension for use in "deployed" applications (see below)
+ - added option `-deploy' to `csc', the compiler driver. With this
+ option `csc' can build fully self-contained application bundles
+ and double-clickable Macintosh GUI apps; see the "Deployment"
+ manual chapter for more information
+ - the directory given to the `-prefix' option of `chicken-install'
+ may now be a relative pathname.
-
-4.3.6
-
+ - removed GUI-specific runtime library (`libchicken-gui') from
+ Windows build - GUI- and non-GUI applications now use the same
+ runtime library
-- undocumented OPTIMIZE_FOR_SPEED build variable: it is generally
- unsafe to use -O3 in gcc version equal or later than 4.4 (thanks
- to Sven Hartrumpf for pointing this out)
+ - special forms of the foreign-function interface have been replaced
+ with an internal form and syntax to allow renaming and shadowing of
+ these forms
-- the configuration file for `chicken-install' (`setup.defaults') has
- now a slightly enhanced format and allows to define arbitrary
- mappings from/to extensions - this is used to handle installation
- attempts of builtin library units
+ - the new `-private-repository' option in `csc' compiles executables
+ with the extension-repository path set to the directory from which
- the program was started - this is in anticipation of easy to use
- deployment options in forthcoming releases
++ the program was started
+ - `csc': deprecated the `-W' and `-windows' options, added `-gui' as
+ a platform-independent replacement
-- `require-extension'/`use' accept import-specifications
++- `require-extension'/`use' accepts now import-specifications
+ - user-defined extension-specifiers and `set-extension-specifier!'
+ have been removed
+ - `delete-file[*]', `rename-file', `create-directory', `file-copy',
+ `file-move', `delete-directory' and `change-directory' return their
+ argument/destination filename on success
+ - added the missing procedure `condition-variable-name' to the
+ srfi-18 library unit (Thanks to Joerg Wittenberger)
+ - the `glob?' function from the `regex' unit has been deprecated
+ - added the procedure `scan-input-lines' to the `utils' library unit
+ - added new runtime option `-:g' which enables GC debugging output
+ - reclamation of unused symbols in "symbol-gc" mode (`-:w') now only
+ takes place for symbols with an empty property-list
-- various bugfixes and cleaning up
-
-4.3.5
-
+ - on Windows loading of code compiled with [non-]GUI runtime libraries
+ will fail and produce an error message when the loading executable
+ is linked with a different runtime system
+ - on Windows, GUI libraries were not correctly linked by `csc'
+ - unit posix: added setter for `file-modification-time'
-
-4.3.4
-
+ - the banner shows the branchname of the build, unless it's "master"
+ - the `-no-install' option to `chicken-install' is ignored when
+ building/installing dependencies
+ - `chicken-uninstall' takes a glob instead of a regular expression as
+ argument
-- fixed bug that caused the `unboxing' optimization to generate incorrect
- C code
+ - the rename and compare functions for low-level macro-definitions
+ accept now arbitrary s-expressions and renames/compares them recursively
+ - `number->string' handles negative-numbers with bases different from 10
+ correctly (thanks to Peter Danenberg)
+ - removed deprecated `setup-install-flag' and `setup-verbose-flag' from
+ the `setup-api' module
-
-4.3.3
-
-- various mingw Makefile fixes (Thanks to Jim Ursetto)
+ - added new option `-repository' to `chicken-install' (Thanks to Christian
+ Kellermann)
+ - removed `chicken-setup' stub program
+ - fix to `csc' to use the correct library when fixing dynamic load paths
+ (Thanks to Derrell Piper)
+ - removed html documentation from distribution (the wiki manual will
+ now be installed)
+ - fixed bug in `reexport' which caused syntax not to be correctly
+ reexported
+ - previous assignments to a toplevel variable that are separated by
+ side effect free expressions are removed
+ - fixed windows version of `find-files' (thanks to Jim Ursetto)
+ - documentation for extensions is not installed automatically by
+ `chicken-install' anymore
-
-4.3.2
-
+ - changed binary version from "4" to "5", because the new runtime
+ libraries are not binary-compatible with previous releases; this
+ means all eggs have to be reinstalled and existing programs be
+ recompiled!
+ - added unboxing pass to compiler which results in partially dramatical
+ performance improvements for unsafe floating-point-intensive code;
+ unboxing is enabled on optimization levels 4 and 5
+ - removed rest-argument-vector optimization as it could conflict
+ with inlining (thanks to Sven Hartrumpf)
-- added `slatex' to tests
+ - renamed `pointer-offset' to `pointer+' and deprecated `pointer-offset'
+ - toplevel assignments that have no other side-effects can be eliminated
+ if it can be shown that the value is not used (the compiler will
+ generate a warning in this case)
+ - removed deprecated `-quiet' option in `chicken' program
+ - removed deprecated `run-time-macros' declaration
+ - removed deprecated `-v2' and `-v3' options in `csc' program
+ - removed deprecated `list-of' function (it is exclusively available
+ as `list-of?' now)
+ - removed deprecated `stat-...' functions in posix library unit
+ - removed deprecated `for-each-line' and `for-each-argv-line' procedures
+ in utils library unit
-
-4.3.1
-
+ - added `fpinteger?' and `fpabs'
-- fixes in types.db by Jim Ursetto
-- `move-memory!' catches negative offsets now (Thanks to Jim Ursetto)
+ - deprecated `define-compiled-syntax'
+ - added new floating-point primitives `fpsin', `fpcos', `fptan',
+ `fpasin', `fpacos', `fpatan', `fpatan2', `fpexp', `fplog',
+ `fpexpt' and `fpsqrt'
-- heavy cleanup of floating math functions which gives much better performance
++- heavy cleanup of floating math functions which gives much better performance,
++ especially for code compiled in unsafe mode
+ - calling `assert' with a single argument shows the tested expression
+ on failure
++- various bugfixes and cleaning up
+
4.3.0
+- fixed bug in `move-memory!' that caused negative offsets to be accepted
+ (thanks to Jim Ursetto)
- removed tracing facility and apply-hook (see the "trace" egg
for a replacement for tracing and breakpoints)
- chicken-install(1): renamed `-host-extension' option to `-host'
