pike.git / CHANGES

pike.git/CHANGES:66:   o basetype(foo)    Returns a string with the basic type of foo as opposed to    _typeof(foo) that returns the actual type. Also available as    sprintf("%t", foo).      o getenv()/putenv()    The environment variable functions getenv and putenv is now is now    both case insensitive on Microsoft Windows systems. This should    make your programs more portable.    + o Return value from catch blocks. +  The return value from catch blocks that exit normally has been +  changed from a normal zero (i.e. zero_type 0) to UNDEFINED (i.e. +  zero_type 1).    -  + o SSL +  The Pike SSL implementation now supports TLS 1.0. Also the LDAP +  protocol and the HTTP.Query methods supports secure transport over +  SSL/TLS. +  +    Language additions:   -------------------      o foreach(X; Y; Z)    The foreach statement has been extended to allow iterations over    mappings, multisets and any object that implements the iterator    interface (see below). To make it possible to use this    conveniently, a new syntax has been added to get both the index    and the value in each iteration:   
pike.git/CHANGES:243:    A class can now define a function mixed _m_delete(mixed index) to    make the objects work like mappings with m_delete(). (This feature    has been added to later 7.2 releases too.)      o Constant objects    An object can now be constant, allowing for better    performace and better dumping. For example used for Gmp.Bignum,    Math.Matrix and Image.Color.       - New modules / classes / methods / functionality added: - ------------------------------------------------------ + New modules / classes / methods added: + --------------------------------------      o ADT.History    ADT implementation of a "leaking stack". Hilfe example:    > object h=ADT.History(3);    > for(int i=17; i<22; i++) h->push(i);    Ok.    > h->get_first_entry_num();    (1) Result: 3    > h[3];    (2) Result: 19
pike.git/CHANGES:279:    > r->add(5,1);    (4) Result: ADT.Relation.Binary("test")    > r->find_shortest_path(1,5);    (5) Result: ({ /* 4 elements */    1,    2,    3,    5    })    + Array.common_prefix + Array.count + Array.greedy_diff + Array.oid_sort_func + Array.arrayify + Array.uniq2 + Array.sum +    o Audio.Codec and Audio.Format    Contain decoders/encoders and format parsers for audio.    Currently WAV and MP3.    Note: The API remains marked "unstable".      o Crypto.md4    Hash used for NT Lanmanager passwords.      o Crypto.crypt_md5    Convenience function to produce crypted $1$ style crypted    passwords (commonly called MD5 passwords).    -  + o Debug +  Many top level debug functions has moved into the Debug module to +  keep amount of top level functions less intimidating for new users +  and to make the debug functions easier to find. +    o Debug.Tracer -  +  A class that when instatiated will turn on trace, and when it's +  destroyed will turn it off again. +    o Debug.Subject -  Helper classes that helps in understanding what Pike is doing. +  This is a probe subject which you can send in somewhere to get +  probed (not to be confused with a probe object, which does some +  active probing). All calls to LFUNs will be printed to stderr.      o DVB    Access to DVB (digital sat) resources. Controls tuner, MP2    audio and video decoders. Allows extract multiple channels    at once.    Note: Only old 0.9.4 DVB API is supported.    -  + o Gmp.mpq and Gmp.mpf +  Support for GMP multi precision fractions and multi precision +  floats. Hilfe example: +  > Gmp.mpq(5,3); +  (1) Result: 5/3 +  > _->invert(); +  (2) Result: 3/5 +  > (float)_; +  (3) Result: 0.600000 +  > Gmp.mpq(5,3)+Gmp.mpq(1,2); +  (4) Result: 13/6 +    o Gz.File    Pike can now compress and decompress the Gzip format. This is    still a bit experimental but the basic functions should work    just fine.      o HTTP.Server    A simple HTTP Server.    -  + o Image.filled_circle(_layer) +  Returns an Image/Layer object with a filled circle on it. +    o Image.Dims    Can extract the dimensions of an image with a minimal amount of    data loading. Currently handles JPEG, GIF and PNG images. Hilfe    example:    > Image.Dims.get(Stdio.File("test.gif"));    (1) Result: ({ /* 2 elements */    1412,    1120    })   
pike.git/CHANGES:369:      o Math.Transforms    Glue for supporting FFT and iFFT via libfftw and librfftw.      o Math    Added the IEEE float constants inf and nan.      o MIME.Message    Guess mode added. *FIXME: expand on this jhs*    + o Oracle +  The Oracle database glue now supports CLOBs and BLOBs. +    o Parser.Python    Splits Python source code into text tokens.      o Parser.RCS    Extracts data from RCS or CVS repositories.      o Parser.XML.NSTree    This is an extended version of Parser.XML.Tree that can handle    namespaces according to the W3C namespace specification.      o Protocols.X.KeySyms    -  + o SDL +  Wrapper for a subset of Simple DirectMedia Layer +  functionality. Useful for writing games, movie players and other +  graphically intensive applications. +  + o Shuffler +  + Standards.EXIF + Standards.FIPS10_4 + Standards.ISO639_2.map_to_639_1, convert_b_to_t, convert_t_to_b +    o Standards.CIFF      o Standards.FIPS10_4    FIXME: remove?      o Standards.ID3    ID3 tags decoder/encoder.
