Changes in 4.5.0
- internal fixes of handling of alternative installation-prefix
in setup-api
- certain compiler-warnings that are in really just notes
and don't indicate a possible error (like reimport of
identifiers) are only shown with -S or in verbose mode
- fixed handling of VARDIR in `chicken-install' (thanks to
Davide Puricelli)
- `chicken-install -test' doesn't runs tests for dependencies
- when a non-else clause follows an else-clause in `cond',
`case' or `select' a warning (note) is shown in verbose
mode
- removed the deprecated `define-extension' and
`define-compiled-syntax'
- `chicken-uninstall' now always asks before removing
extensions, unless `-force' is given
- improved performance of keyword-argument processing slightly
- `export' outside of a module definition has no effect
- `number->string' now accepts arbitrary bases between 2 and 16
(thanks to Christian Kellermann)
- fixed `standard-extension' in `setup-api' module
- literal constants keep their identity, even when inlined
- Unit library: added `fxodd?' and `fxeven?'
- All hardcoded special forms have been replaced with
syntax definitions that expand into internal forms, this
allows redefinition and shadowing of all Scheme core forms
- faster implementations of `get' and `put!'
- faster implementation of `assq' in unsafe mode
- the `-sx' option prefixes each output line with `;'
- slightly better expansion performance
- more documentation of the C API (thanks to Peter Bex)
- `module' supports a shorthand form that refers directly
to a file to be included as the module body
- added runtime option `-:G' to force GUI mode (on platforms
that distinguish between GUI and non-GUI applications)
- removed the unsafe runtime library (`libuchicken'), this
simplifies and speeds up the build and reduces the risk
of executables loading library units from different
variants of the runtime system
- removed the `-unsafe-libraries' option from `chicken'
and `csc'
- removed bootstrapping target and bootstrapping files from
development repository; to bootstrap the system, either
use a release or development-snapshot tarball or fetch
a statically linked precompiled `chicken' binary from
http://chicken.wiki.br/chicken-projects/bootstrap/
- Jim Ursetto provided some fixes for building universal
binaries on Mac OS X
- `csc' now compiles and links Windows resource (.rc) files
when given on the command line
- `chicken-install' and `chicken-uninstall' have an embedded
manifest that suppresses the elevation dialog on Windows
Vista and later when UAC is activated (Thanks to Thomas Chust)
- the `install' program is not used in the build on mingw
and mingw/MSYS platforms, since this is broken on older
mingw versions
- line-number-information is now properly handled (in the
few places where it is used) correctly for included files;
the source file is given in trace-output in addition to
the line number
- removed compiler warning for shared objects compiled in
unsafe mode
- unboxing is now only done in unsafe mode
- in unsafe mode, pointer-accessors from the `lolevel' unit
are now handled intrinsically by the compiler
- `chicken-install' accepts now relative pathnames for the
`-prefix' option
- `define-record-type' now optionally allows using SRFI-17
setters as record-field modifiers
- `integer?' returns `#f' for NaN and infinite numbers
- `csc' now has an `-no-elevation' option for embedding a
manifest that prevents the elevation dialog on Windows
Vista and later when IAC is activated
- the `,d' csi command displays qualified symbols properly
- symbols starting with the `#\#' character trigger an
error when encountered by the reader
- Unit posix: `glob->regexp' now always returns a regular
expression object or optionally an SRE
- Unit posix: `terminal-port?' and `terminal-size' have been
implemented for Windows, the latter always returns `0 0',
though (thanks to Jim Ursetto)
- Unit regex: `regexp' now accepts a regular expression
object as argument
- Unit regex: removed `glob?'
- fixed bug in `chicken-install'/`chicken-uninstall' and
`chicken-status' that prevented collapsed command-line
options to be handled correctly.
- disabled runpath-fix for deployed applications for netbsd
(but resurrected providing a runpath at all, thanks to
Peter Bex)
- Peter Bex provided documentation for the `C_closure' C API
function

New in Chicken 4.4.0:
- the system can now be built with llvm-gcc and/or "clang" (the
LLVM C compiler which doesn't use the GNU C frontend)
- added new option `-trunk' to `chicken-install', which forces
building and installing the development version of extensions
in combination with `-t local'
- added new option `-deploy' to `chicken-install', which builds
extension for use in "deployed" applications (see below)
- added option `-deploy' to `csc', the compiler driver. With this
option `csc' can build fully self-contained application bundles
and double-clickable Macintosh GUI apps; see the "Deployment"
manual chapter for more information
- the directory given to the `-prefix' option of `chicken-install'
may now be a relative pathname.
- removed GUI-specific runtime library (`libchicken-gui') from
Windows build - GUI- and non-GUI applications now use the same
runtime library
- special forms of the foreign-function interface have been replaced
with an internal form and syntax to allow renaming and shadowing of
these forms
- the new `-private-repository' option in `csc' compiles executables
with the extension-repository path set to the directory from which
the program was started
- `csc': deprecated the `-W' and `-windows' options, added `-gui' as
a platform-independent replacement
- `require-extension'/`use' accepts now import-specifications
- user-defined extension-specifiers and `set-extension-specifier!'
have been removed
- `delete-file[*]', `rename-file', `create-directory', `file-copy',
`file-move', `delete-directory' and `change-directory' return their
argument/destination filename on success
- added the missing procedure `condition-variable-name' to the
srfi-18 library unit (Thanks to Joerg Wittenberger)
- the `glob?' function from the `regex' unit has been deprecated
- added the procedure `scan-input-lines' to the `utils' library unit
- added new runtime option `-:g' which enables GC debugging output
- reclamation of unused symbols in "symbol-gc" mode (`-:w') now only
takes place for symbols with an empty property-list
- on Windows loading of code compiled with [non-]GUI runtime libraries
will fail and produce an error message when the loading executable
is linked with a different runtime system
- on Windows, GUI libraries were not correctly linked by `csc'
- unit posix: added setter for `file-modification-time'
- the banner shows the branchname of the build, unless it's "master"
- the `-no-install' option to `chicken-install' is ignored when
building/installing dependencies
- `chicken-uninstall' takes a glob instead of a regular expression as
argument
- the rename and compare functions for low-level macro-definitions
accept now arbitrary s-expressions and renames/compares them recursively
- `number->string' handles negative-numbers with bases different from 10
correctly (thanks to Peter Danenberg)
- removed deprecated `setup-install-flag' and `setup-verbose-flag' from
the `setup-api' module
- added new option `-repository' to `chicken-install' (Thanks to Christian
Kellermann)
- removed `chicken-setup' stub program
- fix to `csc' to use the correct library when fixing dynamic load paths
(Thanks to Derrell Piper)
- removed html documentation from distribution (the wiki manual will
now be installed)
- fixed bug in `reexport' which caused syntax not to be correctly
reexported
- previous assignments to a toplevel variable that are separated by
side effect free expressions are removed
- fixed windows version of `find-files' (thanks to Jim Ursetto)
- documentation for extensions is not installed automatically by
`chicken-install' anymore
- changed binary version from "4" to "5", because the new runtime
libraries are not binary-compatible with previous releases; this
means all eggs have to be reinstalled and existing programs be
recompiled!
- added unboxing pass to compiler which results in partially dramatical
performance improvements for unsafe floating-point-intensive code;
unboxing is enabled on optimization levels 4 and 5
- removed rest-argument-vector optimization as it could conflict
with inlining (thanks to Sven Hartrumpf)
- renamed `pointer-offset' to `pointer+' and deprecated `pointer-offset'
- toplevel assignments that have no other side-effects can be eliminated
if it can be shown that the value is not used (the compiler will
generate a warning in this case)
- removed deprecated `-quiet' option in `chicken' program
- removed deprecated `run-time-macros' declaration
- removed deprecated `-v2' and `-v3' options in `csc' program
- removed deprecated `list-of' function (it is exclusively available
as `list-of?' now)
- removed deprecated `stat-...' functions in posix library unit
- removed deprecated `for-each-line' and `for-each-argv-line' procedures
in utils library unit
- added `fpinteger?' and `fpabs'
- deprecated `define-compiled-syntax'
- added new floating-point primitives `fpsin', `fpcos', `fptan',
`fpasin', `fpacos', `fpatan', `fpatan2', `fpexp', `fplog',
`fpexpt' and `fpsqrt'
- heavy cleanup of floating math functions which gives much better performance,
especially for code compiled in unsafe mode
- calling `assert' with a single argument shows the tested expression
on failure
- various bugfixes and cleaning up

- `chicken-install' now allows specifiying a proxy for retrieving
extensions over HTTP (thanks to Nicolas Pelletier)
- fixed bug in `cond-expand' that incorrectly renamed feature-identifiers
if the form was the product of a syntax expansion (reported by Thomas
Bushnell)
- import-libraries are only generated by the compiler if they don't exist
yet and if the content has actually changed (this simplifies makefile-
rules in some cases)
- it is now possible to pass a config-file to `make(1)' instead of specifying
all build-options as variables on the command-line (see README)
- removed compiler options for "benchmark-mode" and replaced them with a
new optimization level (5) (note that `-O5' does not imply fixnum mode
anymore)
- `hen.el' and `scheme-complete.el' are not bundled with the core system
anymore - `hen.el' is currently not maintained, and `scheme-complete.el'
has its own release cycle; both files are available, see
http://chicken.wiki.br/emacs
- removed meaningless benchmark suite and cleaned up
- added optional argument to `grep' that allows applying a function
to each matched item (contributed by Tony Sidaway)
- added extension-property `import-only', which makes it possible to
create extensions that have no runtime part
- the argument to `seconds->string', `seconds->utc-time' and
`seconds->local-time' is now optional and defaults to the value
of `(current-seconds)' (suggested by Mario Goulart)
- removed read-syntax for `syntax' form
- fixed bug in `get-condition-property'
- fixed bug in windows version of `process-execute'
- TCP timeouts throw exception of kind `timeout' to allow
distinguishing between timeouts and other errors
- removed some internal functions that manipulate environments
- fixed bugs in `standard-extension' (`setup-api' module) and added keyword
arguments for building static extensions and adding custom properties
- when cross-compiling, `chicken-install(1)' doesn't pass `-setup-mode'
(the host tools should not attempt to load target binaries)
- `installation-prefix' in the `setup-api' module was not always correctly
set
- the `-force' option in `chicken-install(1)' overrides the CHICKEN version
check
- disabled e-mail feature in `chicken-bug(1)', since it doesn't work
anyway, in the moment
- fixed bug in `reexport' that made it impossible to reexport core library
definitions
- fix in optimizer that sometimes caused C functions for inlined
procedures to be emitted multiple times (Thanks to Joerg Wittenberger)
- documented `define-compiler-syntax' and `let-compiler-syntax'
- printer for hash-tables shows current number of stores items
- when upgrading during installation of a dependency `chicken-install'
shows the version to upgrade to (Thanks to Christian Kellermann)
- Updated scheme-complete (Thanks to Alex Shinn)
- fix for pathnames with whitespace in 'runtests.sh' on Windows
- fix for 'normalize-pathname' with absolute pathname argument
- added 'decompose-directory' to unit files
- fix for 'local-timezone-abbreviation' - wasn't using the current time
so tz-name constant
- deprecated 'make-pathname' separator argument

- fixed load bug (ticket #72)
- new library procedure `get-condition-property'
- many mingw build fixes (thanks tp Fadi Moukayed)
- setup-api: deprecated `cross-chicken' (use `cond-expand' or
`feature?' instead)
- added topological-sort to data-structures unit; chicken-install
sorts dependencies before installing them
- "-optimize-level 2" enables inlining by default
- disable executable stack in assembly code modules (patch by
Zbigniew, reported by Marijn Schouten)
- csc now always exits with a status code of 1 on errors (patch by Zbigniew)

developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.

- removed `define-id-macro' and `let-id-macro'
- setup-specification attributes `test', `test-command' and `test-chicken-version'
- `C_alloc_in_heap()' is called with number of words (not bytes)

- `csc' added `-s' option to linker, when linking with optimization (won't
work when building shared object)
- fixed countless typos in manual.tex [Thanks to Bruce Mitchener]
- `csc' uses `-bundle' instead of `-shared' under Mac OS X
- runtime.c: dload_2 prefixes dlsym'd name with "_"
- posix.scm: under Mac OS X, `environ' is not used (and `current-environment'
always returns '())
- removed `C_collectibles' and added `C_gc_protect()' and `C_gc_unprotect()'
- fixed compiler bug that caused repeated explicit rest-argument list consing
[Thanks to Sven Hartrumpf]
- added `string-compare3[-ci]'
- reduced C_STACK_RESERVE to 4096; the previous setting could overflow the
stack-check on machines with a stack in very high memory

- `chicken-setup.c' was not up to date
- added BOOTSTRAP_PATH to Makefile.am, this simplifies the invocation
of make when bootstrapping the system from CVS sources

* /cvsroot/chicken/chicken/Makefile.am:
-all-static replaced by -static. On Solaris, need libdl.so and

"make doc" and "make testsuites" now use CHICKEN=../chicken
* /cvsroot/chicken/chicken/Makefile.am:
Uses MORE_STATIC_LIBS instead of MORE_LIBS for
lib[xxx_]chicken_la_LDFLAGS so that libtool does not add "-ldl"

configure.in: Made new variable SHLIBS which has -ldl or -ldld, which will only be used in non -all-static code.
Makefile.am: Use SHLIBS to differentiate MORE_LIBS from MORE_STATIC_LIBS.
runtime.c: Do not even try to use dl.h/dlfcn.h/dlopen/shlopen when in all-static mode.
chicken-config.in, csc.in: Use MORE_STATIC_LIBS (%morestaticlibs%) in static mode.

Package changes:
Put documentation in the canonical pkgsrc directories.
Add test target support.
Gmake is not needed anymore.
Things changed in release 1.0:
- Many bugfixes
- Declaration specifier `compress-literals' and compiler-option
`-compress-literals N'
- Chicken now compiles on OpenBSD [Thanks to Steve Elkins]
- `library' unit:
(chicken-version)
- A new version of the portable syntax-case macro system is now used, which
provides `identifier-syntax', `fluid-let-syntax' and `datum->syntax-object',
allows low-level macros (`define-macro') in combination with hygienic
macros and supports the module system used in Chez Scheme (but does not
handle separate compilation)
- The syntax `(define-syntax (name var) ...)' is allowed
- Chicken supports now SRFI-37 officially (A new library unit named `srfi-37'
has been added)
- The old module system has been removed. It was rather hackishly implemented
and didn't integrate well with the highlevel macro system
- The scheduler and the threading system have been massively overhauled
and scale a little better
- The pattern-matcher is now available in combination with the highlevel
macro system, enter `(include "match")' or `(require-for-syntax 'match)'
to make it available
- SRFI-22 script interpreters `scheme-chicken' and `scheme-chicken-hygienic'
have been added
- Compiled `#!' scheme scripts with an invocation line of `csi -script' or
`scheme-chicken'/`scheme-chicken-hygienic' automagically link with all
libraries which would normally be available under the interpreter.
- Type-checks of fixed size objects are slightly more efficient
- Extension-libraries can now be stored alternatively in a directory given
by the CHICKEN_REGISTRY environment variable or in `$HOME/.chicken-registry'
- The new library unit `tcp' provides a PLTish socket interface,
`tcp-accept' and I/O from socket ports do not block other running threads
- The new compiler/interpreter option `-strict-letrec' enables a fully R5RS
compliant expansion of `letrec'
- Chicken should now pass all tests of Scott G. Millers `r5rs_pitfalls.scm'
- Jonah Beckford ported SWIG (<http://www.swig.org>) to Chicken!
Check out a preliminary version at
<http://beckford.netfirms.com/hobbies/swig/>
- On Windows (Cygwin, Mingw32 and MSVC), CHICKEN now supports shared libraries
and dynamic loading. Many thanks to Jonah Beckford for his tremendous work!
Things changed in release 0.1082:
- Bugfixes.
- Support for SRFI's 26 (cut) and 30 (block comments).
- Peter Keller translated the manual into LaTeX. Pdf and html
documentation is available.
- Peter Keller has contributed a comprehensive testing framework
(fully R5RS compliant).
- Declaration specifiers:
export
compile-time-macros-only
- Library unit `extras':
hash-table-remove!
->string
- Library unit `posix':
sleep
- Library unit `lolevel':
pointer-offset
pointer-u8-ref pointer-u8-set!
pointer-s8-ref pointer-s8-set!
pointer-u16-ref pointer-u16-set!
pointer-s16-ref pointer-s16-set!
pointer-u32-ref pointer-u32-set!
pointer-s32-ref pointer-s32-set!
pointer-f32-ref pointer-f32-set!
pointer-f64-ref pointer-f64-set!
- Dynamic loading is now supported on older HP-UX systems that
provide `shl_load()' instead of `dlopen()'
(Thanks to Tony Garnock-Jones)
- Error messages have been (slightly) improved.
- A system for simplified packaging, building and installation
of extension-libraries (based on shared libraries) is now provided.
- New data type `locatives' allow to create pointers into arbitrary
sections of various kinds of Scheme data objects.
- So called `locations' simplify passing pointers to local or global
Scheme variables to foreign procedures.
- FFI-generated code is a little bit more compact and efficient.
- Chicken supports alternative keyword syntaxes (CL/DSSSL) via the
compiler/interpreter option `-keyword-style' and the parameter
`keyword-style'
- `define-record-printer' now handles SRFI-9 record types.
- The regex-libraries now allow the creation of precompiled regular
expressions (new procedures `regexp' and `regexp?').
