Release 0.9.4

Major feature upgrade

  * R7RS support
  * Notable improvements
  * A bunch of new procedures and enhancements
  * Tons of bug fixes
      + Fixes that may break the compatibility
      + Miscellaneous fixes

R7RS support

Gauche now supports R7RS-small ( http://r7rs.org/ ). It can load R7RS libraries
and execute R7RS scripts seamlessly. (There are minor caveats; see ref:Standard
conformance). See also ref:Library modules - R7RS integration for the details
of how R7RS is integrated.

The backward compatibility to the legacy Gauche code is kept as much as
possible; in short, you can keep using existing Gauche code and write new code
in pretty much the same way.

It's up to you to write code in traditional Gauche way or R7RS way: If you plan
to make the code portable, you may want to stick with R7RS, but if you need to
depend on lots of Gauche-specific libraries, there's not much point to adopt
R7RS structure, for you can't run it in other implementations anyway.

Notable improvements

  * REPL is slightly improved: You can access history (ref:Working in REPL).
    And describe shows known bindings when called on symbols. The default
    writer now do not show shared structures, for it confused newcomers; it
    still shows circular structures in srfi:38 notation.
  * data.random: Random data generators.
  * math.prime module for lazy sequence of primes, testing primality, and prime
    factorization.
  * srfi-106: Basic socket interface.
  * PIPE signal handling is changed. By default, Gauche effectively ignores
    SIGPIPE; the system calls will generate EPIPE system-error instead. Since
    the signal delivery timing differ in the Scheme world from C world,
    handling SIGPIPE reasonably is difficult, while handling system error is
    straightforward and synchronous. Note that EPIPE error from stdout and
    stderr terminates the process immediately, so that the Gauche script don't
    spit error messsages when used in command pipelines and the destination
    command exits prematurely. See ref:Handling signals for the details.
  * write and display is now R7RS; that is, they won't explode by circular
    structures.
  * On Windows, system interface functions now properly handles multibyte
    filenames, command-line arguments and enviornment variables. Contribution
    from SAITO Atsushi.

A bunch of new procedures and enhancements

  * New numerical procedures:
      + On rationalization: rationalize, real->rational, continued-fraction;
        see Gauche-blog:20120925-rationalize. As a bonus, now converting
        flonums to exact number can produce more readable (simple) rational
        numbers; see Gauche-blog:20120930-exact.
      + On integer operations: exact-integer? (r7rs) expt-mod, twos-exponent,
        twos-exponent-factor,
      + Gamma functions: gamma, lgamma.
      + r7rs division operators floor/, floor-quotient, floor-remainder,
        truncate/, truncate-quotient, truncate-remainder.
  * expt now returns exact value if possible, even the exponent is non-integer
    (but exact rational).
  * New list and vector procedures: length<=?, list-set!, vector-map (r7rs),
    vector-for-each (r7rs), vector-tabulate.
  * New regex procedures: rxmatch-substrings, rxmatch-positions,
    rxmatch-named-groups.
      + Also, regex objects now have read-write invariance.
  * rfc.json: Now you can customize mappings between json array/object and
    Scheme objects. Also parse-json* is added to parse multiple JSON objects
    from a single source.
  * gauche.generator: New procedures: gconcatenate, gmerge, gbuffer-filter.
  * gauche.lazy: New procedure: lconcatenate
  * gauche.uvector:
      + u8vector-multi-copy!, u8vector-append (and all other TAG variations).
      + string->u8vector etc.: Added immutable? optional argument to produce
        immutable uvector, which avoids copying the string contents. u8vector->
        string also avoids copying if the source vector is immutable.
  * rfc.http: Support for basic authentication added.
  * file.filter: file-filter may leave the destination file untouched if it
    won't be changed, by :leave-unchanged option. Also added new procedures:
    file-filter-for-each, file-filter-fold, file-filter-map.
  * You can now load script from non-regular files (e.g. device files). Useful
    for one-liner such as gosh -E... /dev/null.
  * Char-set now adopts collection framework, and also they're applicable
    object to test membership.
  * Trie (util.trie) now adopts dictionary framework.
  * make-tree-map accepts single compare argument instead of = and <.
  * rfc.hmac: Pick appropriate block size according to the digest algorithm
    metaclasses.
  * string-split: Accept an optional argument to limit the number of the
    result, much like Perl's similar operator.
  * command-line (r7rs)
  * include and include-ci (r7rs)
  * util.sparse: sparse-vector-ref and sparse-table-ref now have generalized
    setters.
  * symbol=?, boolean=? (r7rs).
  * Reader supports #true and #false for r7rs.
  * Negative zeros (-0.0) are recognized when it matters.
  * generator-find
  * cond-expand supports library clause (r7rs).
  * text.unicode: utf8->string, string->utf8 (r7rs); string-ci=? etc. that
    handles Unicode full case mapping, as required by R7RS.
  * dotimes and dolist now supports omission of variable.
  * letrec* (r7rs).
  * rfc.base64: base64-decode and base64-encode support :url-safe keyword
    argument to use url-safe alternative characters.
  * syntax-rules: Support r7rs enhancements.
  * define-values: Made r7rs compliant.
  * sys-errno->symbol, sys-symbol->errno.
  * Built-in sort procedures now supports srfi-95. See ref:Comparison and
    sorting.
  * digit->integer, integer->digit: Extended to handle digit characters other
    than [0-9]; Unicode defines a bunch of them.
  * gauche.dictionary: Bimap can have default conflict resolution.
  * os.windows: Console procedures are enhanced. Contribution from github.com/
    Hamayama.

Tons of bug fixes

Fixes that may break the compatibility

  * The reader syntax \xNN is now interpreted as R7RS-way by default
    (semicolon-terminated, Unicode codepoint). If we don't find the terminating
    semicolon, we interpret it as the legacy syntax. However, there are
    ambiguous cases that lead to incompatible behavior. You can switch the
    reader mode by reader-lexical-mode to make it fully comatiple to the old
    Gauche.
  * The hash function for char-set behaved poorly, so we changed it. If you
    have saved the hash value of char-sets in the previous versions of Gauche,
    you need to recalculate them.
  * We no longer coerce the result to inexact when dividing an exact numebr by
    exact zero; we used to return +inf.0, but that interpretation is no longer
    allowed since R6RS. Now it raises an error.
  * It is now an error to pass strings containing NUL characters to external
    libraries that expects strings. For example, passing "foo.scm\0.exe" to
    open-input-file throws an error. Allowing it would make potential security
    issue. If you need to pass a byte array that may contain 0, consider using
    u8vector instead of strings.
  * copy-bit-field: The argument order is switched - Gauche was following the
    old SLIB interface, but it was changed during SRFI-60 discussion. We now
    comply the new argument order for the portability, and the old code that
    uses this procedure need to be changed.
  * rfc.uri: Use uppercase for percent-encoding of special chars, as
    recommended in RFC3986. Watch out if the code relying on the case of
    percent-encoding.
  * srfi-13: Switched the argument order of string-filter and string-delete;
    they are changed after finalization, to be in sync with srfi:13's reference
    implementation. (Usually reference implementation is fixed to match the
    spec, but in this case, quite a few Scheme implementations had been using
    the reference implementation as it was, and changing it would have broken
    existing code.) Fortunately we could support both order so that the
    existing code will keep working, but we recommend to change the code to
    match the new order if possible.

Miscellaneous fixes

  * Fix: thread-terminate! caused SEGV when called on a thread that's not
    running.
  * Fix: Character reader produced incorrect values in some #\uxxxxx input.
  * Fixed incorrect/missing stack traces, contributed from Vitaly Magerya.
  * Fixed subtle bugs in conversion between rationals and flonums.
  * util.match: Fixed match-define.
  * force: Fixed leak, introduced between 0.9.2 and 0.9.3.
  * write-ber-integer ignored the port argument.
  * gauche.net: On Windows, the socket code had a fd leak.
  * text.diff: diff ignored :equal keyword argument.
  * rfc.tls: Fixed file descriptor leak.
  * rfc.json: Propertly handles surrogate pairs.
  * unwind-protect: The cleanup handler wasn't called properly if the process
    exits within the body.

Log message:
Update gauche to 0.9.3.3.  Also, take over maintainership from uebayashi.

Changes are:
+ Bug fixes:
    o If DESTDIR was set and the platform didn't have previous Gauche
      installed, make install failed saying something like
      "libgauche-0.9.so.0.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file
      or directory". The order of installation was adjusted to avoid it.
    o On FreeBSD, a bug in signal setup routine caused memory corruption.
    o every with more than one argument list didn't return the last
      return value of the predicate when all the arguments satisfied it,
      as specified in srfi-1 (it returned #t instead). It was also the
      case in stream-every. Both are fixed.
    o On MinGW, info command didn't work.
    o On MinGW, when you used non-console version gosh-noconsole.exe and
      tried to spawn a child process to communicate via pipes,
      gosh-noconsole.exe just died.
+ Improvements:
    o New procedure: string-scan-right
    o GC is now 7.2b

Log message:
Update to 0.9.3.2.

Here is list of changes:

0.9.3.2:
Fix documentation build problem when configured to use non default
encoding.

0.9.3.1:
Fix build problem on Windows/MinGW.

0.9.3:
* New Features
    o Lazy sequences: An efficient and seamless support of mixing lazy
      evaluation with ordinary list procedures. Forcing delayed
      evaluation is implicit, so you can pass lazy list to normal list
      procedures such as car or fold. See the manual entry for the
      details and examples.
    o gauche.generator: A general utilities for generators, a thunk that
      generates a value every time it is called. Lazy sequences are built
      on top of generators. See the manual entry for the details.
    o Threads are now supported on Windows/MinGW build. It is directly
      based on Win32 thread API instead of pthreads; but Scheme-level
      semantics are almost the same. The cond-expand conditions are
      slightly modified to accomodate both thread models--- see Threads
      for the details.
    o add-load-path macro now accepts an optional argument to make the
      given path relative to the currently loaded file. This is useful to
      distribute a script accompanied with library files; for example,
      specify (add-load-path "." :relative) in the script makes the
      library files searched from the same directory where the script
      exists. Then users can just copy the directory to anywhere and run
      the script.
    o A chained-application macro $: Incorporated the feature which has
      been experimented as gauche.experimental.app. This macro allows (f
      a b (g c d (h i j))) to be written as ($ f a b $ g c d $ h i j).
      Although it is slighly longer, it is sometimes work better with
      indentation of deeply nested function calls. See the manual entry
      for the full explanation.
    o A new gosh option -m module allows the main procedure to be
      searched in the specified module instead of the default user
      module. This allows a Scheme file to work both as a library module
      and an executable scripts (e.g. for running tests or demos); name
      the test program main but not export it, and it won't affect
      ordinary module users, but you can test the module by using -m
      option.

* Incompatibile Changes
    o util.queue: Thread-safe queue can now be created with zero
      max-length, which is handy as a synchronization device. This is an
      incompatible change---previously, specyfing zero to :max-length
      means unlimited queue length. (Cf: Queue of zero length
      http://blog.practical-scheme.net/gauche/20110107-zero-length-queue ).
    o Fixed a regexp bug in treatment of BOL/EOL assertions (^, $) within
      the assetion blocks such as (?=...). Regarding BOL/EOL assertions,
      these assertion blocks are treated as if they're stand-alone. The
      fixed behavior is now compatible with Perl and Oniguruma. The code
      that counted on the previous (buggy) behavior may break by this
      change.
    o Removed gauche.auxsys module. This module contained several
      less-used system procedures; now they are in the core. The module
      was autoloaded, so not many code should be affected by this change.
      Only the code that explicitly refer to this module needs to be
      changed.

* Improvements
    o Many frequently-used list procedures (all of util.list, and some of
      srfi-1) are now included in the core. The module util.list is no
      longer needed, although it is kept just for the backward
      compatibility. From srfi-1, the following procedures are now in the
      core: null-list?, cons*, last, member (extended one), take, drop,
      take-right, drop-right, take!, drop-right!, delete, delete!,
      delete-duplicates, delete-duplicates!, assoc (extended one),
      alist-copy, alist-delete, alist-delete!, any, every, filter,
      filter!, remove, remove!, filter-map, fold, fold-right, find,
      find-tail, split-at, split-at!, iota.
    o New macros and procedures: values->list, fold-left,
      regexp-num-groups, regexp-named-groups.
    o New procedure applicable? can be used to check object's
      applicability finer than procedure?. Related, a special class
      <bottom> is added, which behaves as a subtype of any classes.
    o Build process is overhauled to allow out-of-source-tree build.
    o Regular expression engine is slightly improved. For example, it now
      calculates the set of characters that can be a beginning of a part
      of regexp, and uses it to skip the input efficiently.
    o thread-terminate! now attempts to terminate the target thread
      gracefully, and only tries the forceful means when the gracefull
      termination fails.
    o open-input-file now accepts :encoding #t argument, which tells the
      procedure to use a coding-aware port. That is, it can recognize
      coding: ... specification in the beginning of the file. Useful to
      process source files.
    o map is now restart-safe, that is, saving continuations in middle of
      mapping and restarting it doesn't affect previous results. This is
      required in R6RS.
    o Various small improvements in the compiler and VM stack layout.
    o gauche.test: test-module now checks the number of arguments given
      to the global procedures. This is useful to catch careless
      mistakes. In rare cases that you do intend to pass number of
      arguments incompatible to the normal usage of the procedures, list
      such procedures in :bypass-arity-check keyword argument (It is
      possible because of the dynamic nature of the language---methods of
      a different signature may be added later, for example).
    o gauche.test: test-end has a keyword argument to exit with non-zero
      status if test failed. New function test-summary-check exits with
      non-zero status when the test record file indicates there have been
      failures. Both are useful to propagate test failure to upper levels
      such as continuous integration server.
    o srfi-42: Support :generator qualifier to allow using generator
      procedures in a sense of gauche.generator.
    o file.util: touch-file and touch-files takes various keyword
      arguments similar to touch(1) command.
    o rfc.http: A new parameter http-proxy allows to set the default http
      proxy. The https connection now uses a library bundled to Gauche,
      no longer requires external stunnel command.
    o GC is bumped to bdwgc 7.2-alpha6.

* Bux fixes
    o Fixed an incorrect rounding bug when inexact numbers were given to
      div and mod.
    o Fixed another division bug in /., when both dividend and divisor
      are too big to be represented by floating-point numbers.
    o In quasiquote expander, unquote and unquote-splicing are recognized
      hygienically.
    o force is now thread-safe.
    o Fixed some MT-hazards in file loading/requiring. Thanks to Kirill
      Zorin for tracking those hard-to-find bugs.
    o Fixed a bug that made (regexp-compile '(alt)) Bus Error.
    o Fixed another regexp bug that didn't handle case-folding match
      beyond ASCII range. Patch from OOHASHI Daichi.
    o gauche.parameter: Accessing parameters created in unrelated threads
      used to raise an error. It was annoying, since such situation could
      occur inadvertently when autoload is involved. Now the parameters
      work regardless of where they are created.
    o rfc.json: Fixed a bug that produced incorrect JSON.
    o rfc.http: Fixed the behavior of redirection for 3xx responses. You
      can also customize the behavior.
    o gauche.threads: Fixed a bug in thread-sleep! when passed an exact
      rational number.
    o util.stream: stream-count didn't work.

- Replace the HOMEPAGE with the url used in the document
  such as README etc.
- Drop minoura@ from MAINTAINER as per his request on twitter.

Brief summary of Gauche 0.9.2:

 [New Features]
     * Case mapping and character properties are fully supported,
       compatible to R6RS and R7RS draft (both based on Unicode
       standard).  Character-wise case mapping (char-upcase etc.) and
       property queries (char-alphabetic?, char-general-category,
       etc.) are built-in.  Context-aware string case mapping
       (string-upcase etc.) is provided in the new text.unicode
       module. (Note: srfi-13's string-upcase etc.  are unchanged;
       they are defined to use simple case mappings.) The text.unicode
       module also provides conversion between utf-8/utf-16 and
       Unicode codepoints.
     * Windows binary distribution is now in MS installer (*.msi)
       format, created with WiX. It's safer than the previous *.exe
       format created by NSIS, which had a bug that smashes PATH
       settings when it is too long.
     * A convenient wrapper for atomic execution is added in
       gauche.threads. See this intro post.
     * Benchmarking utilities resembles to Perl's Benchmark module is
       now available in gauche.time. See this post for an
       introduction.
     * with-lock-file: A long-awaited feature to use lock files
       conveniently. It is in file.util module.
     * Added full support of srfi-60, integer bitwise operations.
     * gauche.cgen: Some API that Gauche uses to generate C code
       become public. See the manual for the details.
 [Incompatibile Changes]
     * control.thread-pool: add-job! now takes timeout argument. If it
       is omitted and the job queue is full, add-job! blocks. It is a
       change from 0.9.1, in which add-job! returns immediately in
       such case. To get the same behavior, pass 0 explicitly to the
       timeout argument.  The argument order of wait-all is also
       changed to take timeout optional argument first. In 0.9.1 it
       never timeouts.
     * If --enable-multibyte flag is given to ./configure without
       explicit encoding, we now assume utf-8. It used to be
       euc-jp. This is for the consistency. We don't think this change
       affects many, for the document has always been told to give
       explicit encoding name for this option.
     * The --enable-ipv6 configure option is turned on by default. It
       shouldn't cause problems on modern OSes. If you ever get a compile
       error in gauche.net module on a platform that lacks modern API,
       specify --disable-ipv6 option to ./configure.
     * (This is an internal change of undocumented feature. We mention
       it just in case if some extension packages depend on this.) In
       the initialization code generated by genstub or precomp, it
       used to be possible to refer to the current module by mod. Now
       you should use Scm_CurrentModule() instead. Also,
       gauche.cgen.unit now doesn't include <gauche.h> automatically.
 [Improvements]
     * The compiler is improved to avoid creating a closure at
       execution time when it doesn't close local environment. For
       example, (map (^x (* x x)) lis) doesn't create a closure;
       instead, the internal lambda is compiled as if it is a
       toplevel-defined procedure. (Yeah, it's a simple lambda
       lifting. We didn't do it since it could slow down the
       compiler. Now the compiler is efficient enough to handle it.)
     * Supports zero or multi-argument unquote/unquote-splicing, as
       defined in R6RS.
     * sys-exec and sys-fork-and-exec now supports :detached keyword
       argument to make the child process detached from the parent's
       process group.
     * Buliltin reverse and reverse! takes optional list-tail
       argument.
     * A new builtin procedure map* that can deal with dotted list.
     * Common Lisp-like ecase macro is added.
     * The extended lambda formals (:key, :optional, etc) are now
       available in define-method as well.
     * New built-in function sys-clearenv, useful to fork subprocess
       securely.
     * rxmatch-case accepts (else => proc) form, just like case.
     * Socket address objects (e.g. <sockaddr-un>) can now be compared
       by equal? based on its content. Useful to put them in a
       hashtable, for example.
     * gauche.uvector: A new procedure uvector-copy! that can copy any
       type of uvectors.
     * gauche.test: A new test expected result constructor test-one-of
       allows to check if the test result matches any one of possible
       outcomes.
     * control.thread-pool: Now a pool raises <thread-pool-shut-down>
       condition if the pool has already be shut down and no longer
       accepting new jobs. terminate-all now takes :cancel-queued-jobs
       keyword argument to stop the pool immediately, instead of
       waiting for all the jobs to be finished. Canceled jobs are
       marked as killed . New APIs: thread-pool-results,
       thread-pool-shut-down?.
     * rfc.json: Allow construct-json to take optional output port for
       the consistency.
     * rfc.uri: A new procedure uri-merge that can be resolve a
       relative uri in regart to a base uri.
     * rfc.cookie: Recognize :http-only cookie attribute introduced in
       RFC6265.
     * Now the tilde `~' expansion of sys-normalize-pathname works on
       Windows as well to refer to the current user's home directory;
       it tries environment variables heuristically to find it. To
       refer to other user's home directory by ~user is still only
       available on Unix platforms, though.
     * util.combinations: combinations is optimized to handle leaf
       cases efficiently.
 [Bux fixes]
     * Fixed a bug that the number parser hangs when reading
       2.2250738585072012e-308.
     * Integer multiplication routine had a code that depended on
       undefined behavior of C; it worked on gcc but revealed the bug
       on clang-llvm.
     * Fixed a module bug on the visibility of bindings of extended
       modules.
     * gauche.parameter: Fixed a couple of bugs on parameter objects.
     * Numeric comparison procedures such as < didn't work correctly
       when more than four arguments were given. The bug was
       introduced by incorrect optimization.
     * Fixed bugs in lognot, logand, logior and logxor, which crashed
       when non-integer ratinoal numbers are passed.
     * port->string, port->string-list: These procedures returned
       prematurely when the input contains an illegal byte sequence
       for internal encoding. Now they return an incomplete string
       instead.
     * srfi-1: Some srfi-1 procedures that are built-in were not
       exported, causing errors when you wanted to import them
       selectively, e.g.  (use srfi-1 :only (fold)).
     * util.queue: Fixed list->queue to work.
     * binary.pack: Fixed a bug that the result may be truncated if
       the input contains byte sequences that can be interpreted as
       invalid character multibyte sequences.
     * srfi-42: Fixed a hygiene bug; the previous versions failed when
       only toplevel macros are imported using :only import option.
     * rfc.json: Fixed a bug that didn't escape double-quotes in the
       string, and didn't handle empty array.
     * Coding-aware ports didn't count lines correctly in CR-only or
       CRLF line endings.
     * Fixed a problem that caused crash after changing metaclasses of
       a class metaobject. An additional protection mechanism is in
       place in the class metaobject so that it won't be in an
       inconsistent state unexpectedly.
     * Fixed sys-setenv in which you couldn't omit the overwrite
       argument, even if it was described optional.
     * Fixed build problem of gauche.net on Solaris.
     * Fixed a bug in gauche-package that caused an error when
       *load-path* contained a nonexistent path.
     * Fixed a bug in string comparison routine that surfaces in a
       special architecture.
     * The printed output of <time> was incorrect when its value was
       negative.
     * There was a bug in the reader it reads ().() incorrectly.
     * Fixed a bug in format to allow ~* to position after the last
       argument.
     * Fixed GC compliation problem on OSX Lion.
