About 3.2.12

The latest release of the LDMud 3.2 branch.

About .dev-724

Removed a few compiler warnings under OS X 10.4.

About .dev-723

runtime_error() and heart_beat_error() now receive a flag telling if the error is caught or not (Bug #0000385).

About .dev-721 and .dev-722

When call_out() and input_to() received wrong extra arguments, the printed error index was off by one (Bug #0000379).

About .dev-720

Restoring a saved array with one-character operator closures like #'- works again (Bug #0000386).

If the driver is configured without TLS, the crypto libraries are no longer linked in.

About .dev-719

When using TLS, the new configuration parameter '--with-tls-path' can be used to specify the installation location for the TLS package.

Corrected a crasher when the TLS certfile locations are printed.

About .dev-718

Made the driver more palatable for FreeBSD 5.4 and newer compilers.

About .dev-717

input_to() and call_out() no longer accept local references as extra function arguments.

Recent detailed changes since 3.2.11

27-Nov-2005 (Lars Duening) 3.2.12  (diff to dev.724: 17 KB: http)

• Created release.
• (object.c) Efun function_exists(): The 'FEXISTS_ALL' result also contains information about the function's type, flags, and number of arguments (Bug #410).

26-Nov-2005 (Lars Duening)

• (efuns.c) Efun sscanf(): Added test whether the constant characters after a %-field also match - if not, the %-field is considered unmatched (suggested by Largo).
• (efuns, func_spec) Efuns md5(): Accept the number of iterations as optional argument (Bug #418).

24-Nov-2005 (Gnomi)

• (lex.c) (: catch(load_object($1);nolog) :) no longer produces a syntax error (Bug #403).

24-Nov-2005 (Lars Duening)

• (md5.c) The ROTATE_LEFT macro wasn't 64-bit clean (Bug #413).
• (interpret.c) Using foreach(), when looping over a mapping with no values, or with only the index being extracted, the loop actually loops over the mapping and not just the indices copied into an array (Bug #388).
• (simulate.c) Efun set_environment(): clear the RESET_STATE flag of of the moved object's original environment, if any (Bug #387).
• (efuns.c) Efun md5() can now hash arrays of numbers as well (Bug #411).
• (xalloc.c, smalloc.c) The string_copy() function checks if the requested memory is actually allocated, throwing an error if not (Bug #397).
• (simulate.c) Errors during the processing of a fatal() will be recognized and treated as double-fatal (Bug #408).
• (interpret.c) free_svalue() now recognizes the free of nested structures and de-serializes them to avoid stack overflows (Bug #416).
• (Makefile.in, version.sh, patchlevel.h.in) Removed PRCS support.

19-Oct-2005 (Lars Duening)

• (pkg-tls.c) tls_check_certificate() now returns the low-level API values, and throws an error if the connection is not secure.

11-Oct-2005 (Lars Duening)

• (erq/erq.c, erq/Makefile, xerq/socket.c) Corrected compilation warnings.
• (lex.c) to_int() no longer accepts "x" as valid sedecimal notation (Bug #0000402).

04-Oct-2005 (Lars Duening)

• (doc/concepts/overloading) New man page (thanks, Coogan!).

02-Oct-2005 (Lars Duening)

• (main.c, lex.c, version.sh) Updated to display the correct revision number.
• (interpret.c) put_c_string() incremented the target location pointer before storing, causing memory corruption. Luckily it was used just by the TLS package so far.

28-Sep-2005 (Lars Duening)

• (doc/efun/clone_object) Clarified the variable initialisation.

23-Aug-2005 (Lars Duening)

• (Makefile.in) The PRCS rules first check if PRCS is available.

20-Jun-2005 (Lars Duening)

• (patchlevel.h.in, version.sh, mk-patchlevel.sh, Makefiles) Modified the version numbering system to be compatible between Subversion and PRCS.

13-Jun-2005 (Lars Duening) 3.2.12-dev.724  (diff to dev.723: 6 KB: http)

• (comm.c) Adapted for Mac OS X 10.4.

15-May-2005 (Lars Duening) 3.2.12-dev.723  (diff to dev.717: 41 KB: http)  (diff to dev.722: 3 KB: http)

• (simulate.c) runtime_error() and heart_beat_error() received a new argument 'caught' (Bug #0000385).

15-May-2005 (Lars Duening) 3.2.12-dev.722  (diff to dev.720: 2 KB: http)

• (comm.c) Corrected the error messages for errors in the extra arguments of input_tl(). (Bug #0000379).

15-May-2005 (Lars Duening) (3.2.12-dev.721)

• (call_out.c) Corrected the error messages for errors in the extra arguments of call_out(). (Bug #0000379).

15-May-2005 (Lars Duening) 3.2.12-dev.720  (diff to dev.719: 4 KB: http)

• (object.c) Single-character operator closures like #'- couldn't be restored in arrays due to some outdated hack in the parser (Bug #0000384 and #0000386).
• (configure) Link in the crypto libs only if actually needed (reported by Coogan).

24-Apr-2005 (Lars Duening) 3.2.12-dev.719  (diff to dev.718: 4 KB: http)

• (main.c, pkg-tls.c) Improved the documentation for the TLS commandline options, removed a crasher when only one of the two cert locations is specified (thanks, Coogan!).
• (configure) New configuration parameter '--with-tls-path' allows to specifiy a non-standard location for the TLS installation.

01-Apr-2005 (Lars Duening) 3.2.12-dev.718  (diff to dev.717: 35 KB: http)

• (pkg-tls.c) Added FreeBSD 5.4 compatibility (thanks, Ralph!).
• (simulate, many files) Renamed error() to errorf() due to a collision with gnutls.h include files under newer compilers.
• (port.c) Corrected a C99 incompatibility (thanks, Ralph!).

25-Mar-2005 (Lars Duening) 3.2.12-dev.717  (diff to dev.716: 3 KB: http)  (diff to 3.2.11: 24 KB: http)

• (simulate.c) Modified the callback setup so that efun callbacks can take normal lvalues; and timed function/closure callbacks take protected lvalues - but not vice versa.

The older changelog entries can be read here.

Summary of changes since 3.2.11

• Changed efuns:
  • md5(): Accept number arrays as arguments as well.
  • md5(): Accept the number of iterations as optional argument.
  • function_exists(): The 'FEXISTS_ALL' result also contains information about the function's type, flags, and number of arguments.
  • sscanf(): Added test whether the constant characters after a %-field also match - if not, the %-field is considered unmatched.
  • tls_check_certificate(): Return the low-level API results, and throw an error if the connection is not secure.
• Corrected efuns:
  • call_out(), input_to(): Local references are no longer accepted as extra arguments.
  • restore_value(): Restoring one-character operator closures in arrays works again.
  • set_environment(): Clear the RESET_STATE flag of of the moved object's original environment, if any.
  • to_int(): No longer accepts "xnum" as valid sedecimal notation.
• New efuns:
  • tls_query_connection_state(), tls_query_connection_info(), tls_init_connection(), tls_deinit_connection(), tls_error(), tls_available(), tls_check_certificate(): Optional: Support for TLS connections.

• Fixed Crashers:
  • An error during the fatal() processing will be treated as a double-fatal.
  • Freeing a deeply nested value structure no longer overflows the local stack.
• Language:
  • foreach(): When looping over a mapping with no values, or with only the index being extracted, the loop actually loops over the mapping and not just the indices copied into an array.
• Runtime:
