 | |
| Recent changes to the Scheme Shell.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ??/??/?? (version 0.4.5 presumably)
 | |
| 	 lock-region record now stores the *proc object* of the locking
 | |
|            process, not the integer pid. A bug in unlock-region was fixed,
 | |
| 	   and the documentation was fixed up.
 | |
| 	 Did we say we had signal handlers installed in the last release?
 | |
| 	   Now we do. Really. Installed & documented.
 | |
| 	 Hopefully, bdc will change this line to say the static heap
 | |
| 	   linker is documented.
 | |
| 	 Name-consistency change (non-backwards compatible):
 | |
| 	   open/nonblocking renamed to open/non-blocking,
 | |
| 	       which is the way it was always described in the manual.
 | |
| 	 -s<num> is now -sfd <num> -- more consistent with general switch
 | |
| 	   design.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 11/03/96  (version 0.4.4)
 | |
| 	  minor fixes for SunOS, Solaris, AIX, NeXTStep, 686 systems 
 | |
| 	  minor static heap linker fixes
 | |
| 
 | |
| 10/31/96  (version 0.4.3)
 | |
| 	  Signal handlers
 | |
| 	  Static heap linker
 | |
| 	  Regular expression compilation
 | |
| 	  AWK pre-compiles regexp patterns outside of main loop
 | |
| 	  Solaris 2 on i386 support
 | |
| 	  AIX 4 support
 | |
| 	  HP-UX now uses dld for faster loading
 | |
| 	  a few small networking bug fixs
 | |
| 	  Bug fixes to I/O system.
 | |
| 	  New meta-arg second-line syntax
 | |
| 	  New -s<fdes> command line switch
 | |
| 	  Last few bits of Posix: isatty(), ttyname(), ctermid(), fcntl()
 | |
| 	  More efficient CLOEXEC handling for unrevealed file descriptors.
 | |
| 	  Starting up programs with the "-e <entry-point>" command-line
 | |
|             switch and with the (DUMP-SCSH-PROGRAM <file-name> <entry-point>)
 | |
|             are now equivalent in that both pass a list of command-line 
 | |
|             arguments that includes the program name. The two start-up methods
 | |
|             were not the same in the previous release. N.B.: This is not
 | |
| 	    backwards-compatible with older releases' DUMP-SCSH-PROGRAM.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 10/31/95  (version 0.4.0)
 | |
| 	  New minor versioning introduced
 | |
| 	  configure upgraded to autoconf-2.4 and overhauled in general
 | |
| 	  static heap system improved from Scheme 48 version
 | |
| 	  POSIX job control?
 | |
| 	  POSIX terminal control with BSD and SVR4 extensions
 | |
| 	  pseudo terminal (pty) interface
 | |
| 	  select interface
 | |
| 
 | |
| 12/25/94  (version 0.3)
 | |
|           New network package.
 | |
|           New awk and field reader package.
