Some more grouping and editing of CHANGES

291:    compiled with profiling, the CPU used since the last time kill -QUIT    was called.    + o Crypto.Password +  A module that can be used to verify and create passwd/ldap style +  password hashes. +  +  It tries to support most common password hashing schemes. +    o Debug.Profiling    Tools useful for collecting and format for output the profiling    information generated when pike is compiled --with-profiling.
391:       foreach( Bz2.File("log.bz2")->line_iterator(); int n; string line )    - o Crypto.CAMELLIA +     -  The 128/256 bit cipher CAMELLIA is now availble as block cipher in -  Crypto. In addition the following cipher suites have been added to -  SSL. -  -  TLS_rsa_with_camellia_128_cbc_sha -  TLS_dhe_dss_with_camellia_128_cbc_sha -  TLS_dhe_rsa_with_camellia_128_cbc_sha -  TLS_rsa_with_camellia_256_cbc_sha -  TLS_dhe_dss_with_camellia_256_cbc_sha -  TLS_dhe_rsa_with_camellia_256_cbc_sha -  +    o String.Buffer       String.Buffer can now add the storage from a different String.Buffer
450:      o Mysql - Support more modern client libraries (incl. MariaDB)    - o Standards.PEM: Added some support for encrypted PEM files -  - o Nettle refactored -  +    o pike -x benchmark output format changed    Also added support for JSON output.    There has also been attempts to get the timing more predicable.
469:      o Thread.Farm now might work    - o Stdio.UDP -  + added ipv6 multicast support -  + added set_buffer -  +    o Cmod precompiler.    + inherit "identifier"    -- inherit the program returned by calling master()->resolve() on
480:      o Image.JPEG.exif_decode    - o Crypto.PGP -  Added support for SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512 as hash functions. -  Expose the used hash and key types in the out data -  +    o String.levenshtein_distance()    That function calculates the Levenshtein distance between two    strings. The Levenshtein distance describes the minimum number of
501:   o System.getloadavg()    Return the current load average.    + o The glob function has been extended to accept an array of globs as +  the first (glob pattern) argument. +  +  If any of the given patterns match the function will return true. +  + o Stdio.UDP(): +  + added ipv6 multicast support +  + added set_buffer +  + o Stdio.File(): +  + send_fd and receive_fd +  These functions can be used to send and receive an open +  filedescriptor over another filedescriptor. The functions are +  only available on some systems, and they generally only work +  when the file the descriptors are sent over is a unix domain +  socket or a pipe. +  + Changed internally to remove one level of indirection. +  The Stdio.File object no longer has a _Stdio.Fd_ref in _fd. They +  are instead directly inheriting _Stdio.FD. +  +  _fd is still available for compatibility, but internally it is gone. +    o Unicode databases updated to 6.2.0   o Timezone databases updated to tzdata2013d    - o Stdio.File()->send/receive[_fd] - o The Search module has seen several fixes + o The Search search engine module has seen several fixes +  + Added support for padded blobs. This improves performance when +  incrementally growing blobs. This feature is only enabled if +  Search.Process.Compactor says this is OK, see the documentation +  for more information. +  +  + Several locking optimizations, specifically, avoid locking and +  unlocking for every single iteration when merging and syncing +  blobs. +  +  + Charset conversion fixes +  +  + Fixes for queries where the same world occur multiple times +  ('foo and bar and foo') +    o Standalone tools added: -  autodoc_to_html AutoDoc XML to HTML converter. -  autodoc_to_split_html AutoDoc XML to splitted HTML converter. -  git_export_autodoc Exports a stream of autodoc.xml suitable for git-fast-import. -  pv Pike image viewer (diet). +  + pv +  Pike image viewer (diet). This can be used to quickly view one +  or more images. It requires GTK1 or GTK2 support. +  | pike -x pv image.foo +  + autodoc_to_html +  AutoDoc XML to HTML converter. +  + autodoc_to_split_html +  AutoDoc XML to splitted HTML converter. +  + git_export_autodoc +  Exports a stream of autodoc.xml suitable for git-fast-import. +  Used on pike-librarian.      o Lots of GTK2 fixes - o Crypto.crypt_hash() +    o Image.JPEG.decode now has basic CMYK/YCCK support   o Fixed units in pike --help=kladdkaka   o Various coverity fixes
530:   o Some Parser.SGML fixes   o Readline tries to set the charset to the terminal charset   o Fixes to Process.run, Process.spawn_pike and friends. - o glob( array, X ) - o AES support added to SSL - o SSL now supports TLS 1.0 (SSL 3.1) and TLS 1.1 +    o predef::types (seems somewhat broken, or is it intended at types(({1,2,3})) returns ({ mixed,mixed,mixed})?) - o Builtin._get_setter / Builtin.Setter +  + o Builtin._get_setter +  This function returns a setter for a variable in an object. +  The setter, when called, will set the variable value to the passed +  argument. +    o Parser.XML.Tree fixes -  +  + Several namespace improvement and handling fixes +    o New charsets    A lot of ISO-IR charsets added:    9-1, 9-2, 31, 232, 234, 231 (aka ANSI/NISO Z39.46, aka ANSEL) 230
547:    9566-97). Fixed CSA_Z242.4   o Fixes to the HTTP client in Protocols.HTTP.   o dtrace support (on macosX at least?) +  +  + Crypto and SSL + -------------- +  + o Standards.PEM +  + Added some support for encrypted PEM files +  + o Nettle refactored +  + o AES support added to the SSL module +  +  This adds support for the following cipher suites: +  TLS_rsa_with_aes_128_cbc_sha +  TLS_dhe_dss_with_aes_128_cbc_sha +  TLS_dhe_rsa_with_aes_128_cbc_sha +  TLS_rsa_with_aes_256_cbc_sha +  TLS_dhe_dss_with_aes_256_cbc_sha +  TLS_dhe_rsa_with_aes_256_cbc_sha +  + o SSL now supports TLS 1.0 (SSL 3.1) and TLS 1.1 +    o Blowfish and Serpent support fixed in Nettle    -  + o Crypto.PGP +  +  Added support for SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512 as hash functions. +  Expose the used hash and key types in the out data +  + o Crypto.CAMELLIA +  +  The 128/256 bit cipher CAMELLIA is now availble as block cipher in +  Crypto. In addition the following cipher suites have been added to +  SSL: +  +  TLS_rsa_with_camellia_128_cbc_sha +  TLS_dhe_dss_with_camellia_128_cbc_sha +  TLS_dhe_rsa_with_camellia_128_cbc_sha +  TLS_rsa_with_camellia_256_cbc_sha +  TLS_dhe_dss_with_camellia_256_cbc_sha +  TLS_dhe_rsa_with_camellia_256_cbc_sha +  +    Building and installing   -----------------------
