pike.git / CHANGES

pike.git/CHANGES:121:       - Improved support for Terminfo on NetBSD.       - read_file(), read_bytes(), write_file() and append_file() will may    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.      o Support for having multiple different active backend implementations. +  FIXME: example?    ...    The global variable next_timeout is no more. It has been replaced by    a backend-specific variable. Added backend_lower_timeout() for accessing    the new variable. This fixes issues GTK, GTK2 and sendfile had with the    new backend implementation.       NOTE!    NOTE! C-API incompatibility!    NOTE!    NOTE! Changed the argument for backend callbacks!
pike.git/CHANGES:226:    It's now possible to set custom attributes on types. This is    currently used to improve the argument checking for sprintf()    and related functions, and for marking symbols as deprecated.    eg:       __deprecated__ mixed obsolete_function();    __deprecated__(mixed) obsolete_return_value();    mixed fun(__deprecated__(mixed) obsolete_arg);    __deprecated__(mixed) obsolete_variable;    +  FIXME: syntax for __attribute__ +    o __func__       The symbol __func__ now evaluates to the name of the current    function. Note that this name currently can differ from the    declared name in case of local functions (ie lambdas). Note    also that __func__ behaves like a litteral string, so implicit    string concatenation is supported. eg:       error("Error in " __func__ ".\n");   
pike.git/CHANGES:733:      o Standards.XML.Wix       FIXME      o String       - The function int2size has been rewritten to fixpoint as well as    using the more common abbreviation of "B" for byte.    +  - String.secure marks a string as "secure" which currently only +  means that the memory is cleared before it is freed. +    o System       FIXME       resolvepath() enabled on more OSes and falls back to realpath(3C) if    resolvepath(2) doesn't exists.       setproctitle()       - Added support for POSIX style timers using clock_gettime(3) to
pike.git/CHANGES:858:       A more simplistic interface is also available for smaller hacks and    programs.       void main(int argc, array(string) argv)    {    mapping opts = Arg.parse(argv);    argv = opts[Arg.REST];    }    + o Fuse +  +  FIXME +  + o GTK2 +  +  FIXME +    o Kerberos       FIXME      o Protocols.DNS_SD       This module provides an interface to DNS Service Discovery. The    functionality of DNS-SD is described at <http://www.dns-sd.org/>.       Using the Proctocols.DNS_SD.Service class a Pike program can
