Minor touchups

Rev: CHANGES:1.139

262:    getenv() and putenv() are now accessing and modifying the real    environment.    + o get_dir() +  +  Calling get_dir() with no arguments will now return the directory +  listing for the current directory. +    o undefinedp()/destructedp()       undefinedp() and destructedp() have been added as more readable
272:    The new toplevel function limit(a, x, b) is a convenience function    that works like min(max(a,x),b).    + o listxattr(), getxattr(), setxattr(), removexattr() +  +  The new xattr functions listxattr(), getxattr(), setxattr and +  removexattr() allows extended file attributes to be modified from +  within Pike. +    o sprintf() and sscanf()       - sprintf() now attempts to lookup the name of the program when
456:       - BaseTexture and BaseDWIM now supports clamped textures.    + o Gmp +  +  Many small changes to fixed Gmp build issues on different platforms. +  The most visible being that the Gmp module now is statically linked +  to work around Mac OS X 10.5 linker issues. +    o Gz       - Added compress() and uncompress() functions as an simpler and more    efficient but non-streaming interface.       - Support for RLE And FIXED compression method, if supported by -  zlib. +  zlib. Give Gz.RLE or Gz.FIXED to the strategy argument of +  compress() or the deflate constructor.    -  - Added support for configurable compression window size. +  - Added support for configurable compression window size. This is +  the last argument to compress() and the constructor for +  inflate/deflate.      o Image.Colortable   
516:       Int.inf is an object that can be used as an infinitly large integer.    + o Java +  +  If possible, Pike now uses libffi instead of creating our own +  tramplines. Adding libffi as a bundle is supported. +    o Locale.Charset       FIXME: Rewrite
577:    functions set_unicode_encode_mode() and set_unicode_decode_mode().    See their documentation for further details.    -  Return correct UNDEFINED instead of 0 values for NULL values in resultsets. +  - Return correct UNDEFINED instead of 0 values for NULL values in +  resultsets.      o Odbc   
644:      o Postgres    +  FIXME: Rewrite    Added affected_rows.    Made big_query() streaming.    Added streaming_query() alias to indicate support.
698:       - Support for gzipped and compact tracker responses.    -  - 30% faster hashing of files. +  - Many perfomance and bug fixes, such as 30% faster hashing of +  files.    -  - Many performance and bug fixes. -  +    o Protocols.HTTP       - Added support for httpu and httpmu requests.
917:    now throw exceptions on uncommon errors such as when write_file is    unable to write all its data.    -  - Stdio.File->openat() opens a file relative to an open directory. +  - Stdio.File->openat(), statat() and unlinkat() opens, stats and +  removes a file or directory relative to an open directory.       - Stdio.FILE->unread() allows pushing back binary strings into the    input stream, as opposed to ungets() which pushes back lines.    -  +  - Stdo.UDP has had enable_multicast(), set_multicast_ttl(), +  add_membership() and drop_membership() added to make real +  multicast use possible. +    o String       - The function int2size has been rewritten to fixpoint as well as
932:      o System    -  FIXME +  - resolvepath() is now enabled on more OSes and falls back to +  realpath(3C) if resolvepath(2) doesn't exists.    -  resolvepath() enabled on more OSes and falls back to realpath(3C) if -  resolvepath(2) doesn't exists. +  - On systems that support it, setproctitle() can be used to set the +  title of the running application.    -  setproctitle() -  +     - Added support for POSIX style timers using clock_gettime(3) to    allow for high resolution thread local cpu time and monotonic real    time on reasonable modern Linux systems for gethrvtime() and
949:      o Tools.Hilfe    -  - Added support for tab-completion on modules, global and local symbols and -  operators. +  - Added support for tab-completion on modules, global and local +  symbols and operators. +     - Added support for file/directory completion within strings -  - Added doc command and F1 key to print documentation on anitem if available -  (currently only works for modules and classes written in pike) +     -  +  - Added doc command and F1 key to print documentation on anitem if +  available (currently only works for modules and classes written in +  pike) +    o Tools       FIXME
985:    This module implements the needed interfaces to make it possible to    write a FUSE filesystem in Pike.    -  +    o ADT.List       A simple linked list of values. -  +  FIXME: Example      o ADT.Trie    -  +  FIXME +    o ADT.Set       ADT.Set implements a datatype for sets. These sets behave much
1000:       From a performance viewpoint, it is probably more efficient for a    Pike program to use mappings to serve as sets, rather than using an -  ADT.Set,so ADT.Set is mainly provided for the sake of completeness +  ADT.Set, so ADT.Set is mainly provided for the sake of completeness    and code readability.      o Arg    -  The new argument parser module allows for Getopt style arugment +  The new argument parser module allows for Getopt style argument    parsing, but with a much simpler and object oriented API.       class Parser
1259:    It's now possible to select whether to compile in 32bit or 64bit    mode at configure time by using the --with-abi option.    - o MinGW build possible. FIXME + o MinGW builds.    -  +  It's now possible to build Pike in MinGW on windows computers from +  source distributions.    -  +    New simplified method to write external C/C++ modules   -----------------------------------------------------   
1310:         ---- - modules/_Charset +     -  - New lib: - Protocols.LDAP module.pmod +    -x test_pike    -  - src: - files: FIXME - gmp: FIXME - java: FIXME - mysql: FIXME -  -  -  +    DLL for Windows?    -  +    libpike.so    - Wix -  +    valgrind_hilfe and valgrind_just_verify      New malloc on Windows.
