Upstream changes: - Core + A new embedding API is available in "parrot/api.h" and documented in docs/pdd/pdd10_embedding.pod . + Packfile PMCs were refactored and can now be used to produce runnable bytecode. + Packfile manipulation code now throws embedder-friendly exceptions rather than printing error details directly to stderr. + Unicode support for file IO, environment variables, program names, and command-line parameters was improved. + An experimental gdb pretty-printers in tools/dev for Parrot STRINGs and PMCs is now available. (gdb 7.2 or later and Python are required) + c2str.pl and pmc2c.pl improvements result in a noticeably faster build. + Bugs in our Digest::sha256 library and bit-related dynamic ops were fixed by GCI student Nolan Lum. Both now work correctly on 32 and 64 bit systems. - Languages + ;)XD - OMeta for Winxed https://github.com/plobsing/ohm-eta-wink-kzd - Community + tree-optimization by GSoC student Tyler L. Curtis joined the nest and now lives at http://github.com/parrot/tree-optimization . + Plumage now lives at http://github.com/parrot/plumage and is installable. + Christmas went as scheduled. The Parrot team does not take credit for this event. - Documentation + HTML documentation generation has been rewritten and greatly simplified. + We have improved documentation in docs/project/git_workflow.pod about keeping a fork of parrot.git in sync. + Translations of our README in various languages are now in the docs/translation directory, thanks to Google Code-In students. - Tests + A better way to write "todo" tests with Parrot's Test::More was implemented by GCI student Fernando Brito. + Major increases in test coverage of many core PMCs, dynamic PMCs and dynamic opcodes resulted from GCI and the intrepid students it attracted. + Jonathan "Duke" Leto set up Debian Linux x86_64 and sparc32 smokers in the GCC Compile Farm, which continually submit smoke reports with a variety of configuration options and compilers. Thanks, GCC! + Makefile dependency checking is now automatically tested, resulting in a more reliable parallel build. + Coverage tests were improved for platforms with and without Devel::Cover.

2009-04-20While the logic for handling NetBSD/powerpc (and OpenBSD/powerpc)he1-2/+2
was correct, it was mis-placed in the file. It needs to include <elf.h> or the moral equivalent of that before the symbols can be tested. This now corresponds with what's committed upstream. Again, since this is a build fix, no revision bump should be required.
2009-04-17For the NetBSD/powerpc 3.x case, use the enums out of <powerpc/reloc.h>he1-2/+2
instead of literal integers. Again, this should not result in different code, so no reason to bump revision.
2009-04-17Two minor changes to the adaptation for NetBSD/powerpc, resultinghe1-2/+2
in no code change and adding portability to NetBSD 3.x, so no revision bump: o Let the workaround for missing R_PPC_ADDR16{HI,LO} work for other systems who also define R_PPC_16_{HI,LO} instead. o Add portability to NetBSD/powerpc 3.x, which has a very minimalist <powerpc/elf_machdep.h> file.
2009-04-14Fix the detection and use of perldoc, so that this package can behe1-1/+3
fully built and installed when the build is run as root. The reason this is problematical is that perldoc changes uid if run as root, to either 'nobody', 'nouser' or uid -2, for security reasons, and then cannot write files owned by root or create files in directories owned by root with 'normal' permissions. No revision bump as this should purely be a build fix.
2009-03-25Update from version 0.4.11nb1 to 1.0.0.he1-4/+7
Pkgsrc changes: o New MASTER_SITES o Take maintainership (apologies if I'm stepping on someone's toes) o The package now has built-in knowledge if the CPU arch has working jit support (currently i386, powerpc and arm, of which the two first have been tested), so there's no need to direct the jit support from the main Makefile o Update PLIST o Added patches to port to NetBSD/powerpc (reported upstream) o Added patch to remove a GNUism from one of the shell scripts (test using == in place of =) Upstream changes: o Too many to mention; there have been some 20-odd number of intervening releases since the 0.4.11 release of 2007-Apr-17, according to http://docs.parrot.org/parrot/latest/html/docs/parrothist.pod.html which contains the release history. OK'ed by wiz@.
2008-08-30patch-aa (with dragonfly config) got merged upstream. Applying thedholland1-2/+1
patch with a more tolerant version of patch (like netbsd's) gives two copies of the definitions in the same file, with who knows what consequences. Applying the patch with a less tolerant version of patch fails. So, remove it, and bump PKGREVISION just in case.
