Changes
since before then; Pike 7.2
-
----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
o
Automap
-
+
o Implicit lambda.
+
+
o global::
+
Added new keyword global to be able to access identifiers on the
+
top level of the compilation unit using global::foo. (Deactivated
+
in 7.2 compatibility mode, of course.)
+
+
It's now possible to use e.g: global::this_program.
+
+
Added an optional level argument to this_object(). *FIXME: Do we
+
really want this documented?*
+
+
+
o this
+
Added a magic identifier "this" that can be used instead of
+
this_object(). Like this_program, it only exists when there's no
+
other identifier with that name. The object of a surrounding class
+
can be adressed with Foo::this.
+
+
o Local
+
+
o Iterators (Mapping.pmod Multiset.pmod)
+
+
o for(X; Y; Z)
+
+
o enum reserved
+
+
o enum and typedef have implicit local binding
+
+
o ::_indices ::_values
+
+
o Sooo.... This would be what?
+
Include the names of the surrounding classes themselves in the lookup for
+
Foo::, to make it possible to adress hidden variables in the scopes of
+
surrounding classes, e.g:
+
+
class X {
+
int i;
+
void create (int i) {X::i = i;}
+
}
+
+
Since this change is mostly but not completely compatible with the earlier
+
lookup rule, it's disabled in 7.2 compatibility mode.

Compatibility changes:
+
----------------------
+
+
Bugfixes and API-fixes that break compatibility. The old behaviour is
+
emulated in the compatibility layer that is activated by adding the
+
preprocessor directive "#pike 7.2" to your program or by precifying
+
the "-V7.2" argument to the pike executable.
+
+
o Protocols.LDAP.client
+
The return code from all methods was changed to follow Pike's
+
logic better. 0 is now a failure. The old behaviour is emulated in
+
compatibility layer
+
+
o dirname
+
Now correctly returns a directory instead of just stripping the
+
part after nearest directory seprator.
+
+
o LR
+
LR has been moved to Parser.LR and the API has been chnged.
+
FIXME: More about this?
+
+
+
Bugs fixed:
+
-----------
+
+
o Reworked trampolines to cause less circular references. (solves 1937)
