Log message:
chicken5: update to 5.4.0
Packaging Changes:
- removed patch-egg-compile.scm since upstream has fixed this.
Upstream Updates:
- Security fixes
- CVE-2022-45145: Neutralize possible escape characters in egg metadata
to avoid arbitrary OS command injection during egg installation,
reported by Vasilij Schneidermann who also provided the necessary
patches to mitigate this problem.
- The runtime option "-:b" has been removed, as it was deemed too
insecure to be able to drop to a REPL from the CLI of any program.
- Runtime option processing has been hardened: processing now stops on
the first non-runtime option or after "-:", whichever comes first.
- Core libraries
- Fix type declarations for `file-select` (reported by Anton Idukov).
- Change `create-temporary-{file,directory}` fallback code on Windows to
use %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/Temp if that environment variable is set.
- Added new thread-safe API for POSIX signals ("make-signal-handler",
"signal-ignore" and "signal-default") and deprecated the \
existing one.
- Added "make-finalizer" to execute finalizers in a thread-safe
manner.
- Added weak pairs to (chicken base), with similar behaviour to Chez Scheme.
- Added "locative-index", kindly contributed by John Croisant.
- Added "fp*+" (fused multiply-add) to "chicken.flonum" module
(suggested by Christian Himpe).
- Added flonum-specific hyperbolic functions and their inverse to
"chicken.flonum" module (suggested by Christian Himpe).
- The `process-execute` procedure now sets argv[0] to the unmodified
filename. Previously, the directory part would be stripped.
- Added support for embedded strings and characters in SRFI-4 vector
literals.
- read-with-source-info is now documented and officially supported,
from the (chicken syntax) module. read/source-info is still exported
from the undocumented internal (chicken compiler support) module, but
using it from there is deprecated.
- Added "export/rename" to (chicken module) for renaming identifiers on
export.
- The values of the TMPDIR, TMP and TEMP environment variables are no
longer memoized (fixes #1830).
- Condition objects produced by procedures that change errno now have
an `errno' property.
- Deprecated "chicken-home" and added "include-path" in the
chicken.platform module.
- Irregex has been updated to upstream 0.9.11 plus an additional fix
for sre->string. The 0.9.11 release fixes a few problems related to
utf-8 handling (which should not affect CHICKEN) and expands the
definition for the 'whitespace character set to include vertical tab,
carriage return and form feed.
- Tools
- Fix scripts generated by `chicken-install` on Windows to not quote `>>`
when echoing into files which would result in empty egg-info files
(reported and fixed by Jani Hakala).
- The -R option for csi and csc now accepts list-notation like
e.g. (srfi 1). Fixes #1809, reported by Wolfgang Corcoran-Mathe.
- Fix shell quotation in options passed from csc to other tools.
Fixes #1302, reported by Xin Wang.
- The -prelude and -postlude options for csc work properly again.
- chicken-install now retrieves the latest egg version when
instructed to install an egg that's already installed (#1802).
- When `location' is specified in setup.defaults, chicken-install
will consider two location layouts when looking for eggs:
<location>/<egg> and <location>/<egg>/<version>.
- chicken-install: Fix #1684 (programs that specify
component-dependencies should build-depend on their import
libraries).
- chicken-install now caches eggs installed from local locations.
- chicken-install now accepts the -location command line option
(short: -l) to specify local directories where to get egg sources
from.
- chicken-install now gives a warning on unexpected properties (#1492).
- chicken-install now uses a directory specific for cache metadata
(VERSION, STATUS and TIMESTAMP files) to avoid collisions with source
files on case-insensitive file systems like on MacOS (#1753, reported
by Kon Lovett).
- Syntax expander
- When passing a module as an environment to eval, correctly resolve
identifiers in macro expansions (#1295 reported by Caolan McMahon).
- Internal definitions honor rebindings of core special forms (#1132).
- Globally defining an identifier previously bound to a macro now fully
shadows the macro (#1166, reported by Michele La Monaca).
- Compiler
- When emitting types files, the output list is now sorted, to ensure
deterministic build output (fixes #1783, reported by "ss2").
- Build system
- Fix compiler warnings about zero-sized `memset` (reported by Claude Marinier).
- Disable broken test-create-temporary-file on Windows (reported by \
"jjhoo").
- Drop use of XCODE_... environment variables on MacOS.
- Add build directory to rpath on MacOS so that the test suite picks up correct
libchicken, even if CHICKEN is already installed (thanks to Christian Himpe).
- Default "cc" on BSD systems for building CHICKEN to avoid ABI problems
when linking with C++ code.
- Runtime system
- Make line numbers available for error output and during syntax expansion
in the interpreter as well as the compiler.

Log message:
chicken5: update to version 5.3.0
Changelog (taken from https://code.call-cc.org/releases/5.3.0/NEWS):
5.3.0
- Core libraries
- In (chicken process-context posix), the setters for current-user-id,
current-effective-user-id and current-group-id now check that the
new user/group value is a fixnum instead of blindly passing it on
to the C implementation (which would cause bogus user ids to be set).
Fixes #1787, thanks to Christopher Brannon.
- The srfi-17 module now exports the `getter-with-setter` and `setter`
procedures, not just the set! macro (thanks to Lassi Kortela)
- Fix hang in chicken-install -update-db on Windows (thanks to Mark
Fisher for reporting and Jani Hakala for debugging and patch).
- Fixed an inadvertant error during error reporting in the `numerator`
and `denominator` procedures when passed non-finite flonums (#1730).
- Fixed a bug where optimisations for `irregex-match?` would cause
runtime errors due to the inlined specialisations not being
fully-expanded (see #1690).
- Irregex has been updated to upstream 0.9.10, which fixes behaviour
of irregex-replace/all with positive lookbehind so all matches are
replaced instead of only the first (reported by Kay Rhodes), and
a regression regarding replacing empty matches which was introduced
by the fixes in 0.9.7 (reported by Sandra Snan). Also, the
http-url shorthand now allows any top-level domain and the old
"top-level-domain" now also supports "edu" (fixed by \
Sandra Snan).
Also, a problem was fixed with capturing groups inside a kleene
star, which could sometimes return incorrect parts of the match.
Finally, "bol" handling was fixed to handle newlines consistently
so that multiple matches don't overlap (reported by Sandra Snan).
- current-milliseconds has been deprecated in favor of the name
current-process-milliseconds, to avoid confusion due to naming
of current-milliseconds versus current-seconds, which do something
quite different. Also, its definition has been tweaked to
guarantee that it returns the time since process startup. On
Windows, it will now return sane values after 24 days of uptime.
On UNIX, the values returned will be precise to the millisecond
instead of rounded down to the nearest second at startup (which
would result in erratic startup times).
- The default mode for files created by `file-open' has been changed
to 0666 (plus whatever change the effective umask applies), rather
than 0744 (see #1698).
- Fixed type database entry for "log" with second arg (fixes #1725).
- Made topological-sort behave better when dependency target is listed
multiple times by concatenating dependencies (fixes #1185).
- Module system
- Reexported macros now work when the reexporting module redefines
identifiers from the original (fixes #1757, reported by Sandra Snan).
- When using "except" in "import" to omit reexported macros,
they are really not imported (#1771, reported by Sandra Snan).
- Runtime system
- Sleeping primordial thread doesn't forget mutations made to
parameters in interrupt handlers anymore. (See #1638. Fix
contributed by Sebastien Marie)
- A feature corresponding to the word size is available
regardless of the word size (#1693)
- The default maximum heap size on 64-bit platforms is now the
theoretical maximum addressable memory size (#1675). Use -:m
if you would like to override this at run-time.
- Deprecated C_(a_i_current_)milliseconds in favor of
C_(a_i_)current_process_milliseconds to match the Scheme-level
deprecation of current-milliseconds.
- Officially deprecated C_pair() in favor of C_a_pair(); it has
been deprecated for years.
- At program cleanup, finalizers are only forced when the live
finalizer count is non-zero
- The symbol `srfi-87` has been added to the list of built-in
feature identifiers.
- Garbage collection algorithm has been changed to reduce thrashing
when heap is almost full, by growing the heap sooner. A new -:hf
option was added to tweak when heap growth should occur.
- Added `-:R' runtime option to initialize rand() state
deterministically (should help with #1650 and benchmarking).
- Compiler
- Statically linked programs using built-in libraries are supported
again (fixes #1788, a regression from 5.2.0).
- Avoid re-using argvector when inline rest operations are being
used in CPS calls (#1703, thanks to Jakob L. Keuze).
- An `emit-types-file` declaration has been added, which corresponds
to the compiler flag of the same name (#1644, thanks to Marco Maggi
for the suggestion).
- Fixed a bug caused by a bad interaction between two optimizations:
argvector rest ops would be applied even if a procedure already got
its rest arg consed at the call site (#1756, thanks to Sandra Snan).
- Build system
- Fix build with tcc.
- Fix a few tests on Windows so the suite passes once again.
- Auto-configure at build time on most platforms. Cross-compilation
still requires PLATFORM to be set, and it can still be provided
manually, but it is no longer required in the common case.
- Fix Linux to MingW cross-compilation (#1768, thanks to Théo Cavignac)
- The `clean' target for make now also removes build configuration files.
- The `distclean' target for make has been removed (now `clean' does what
`distclean' used to do).
- Tools
- Fix a problem with egg installation scripts on Windows, where the
platform was not correctly identified, depending on the shell used
during installation of the core system (thanks again to Mark Fisher
for reporting and helping in finding the culprit).
- Fixed a bug in chicken-install (#1744) that would cause
`Error: (string->number) bad argument type: #!eof` in some cases.
- If chicken-install has a program prefix/suffix, it now writes to a
cache directory matching its program name (#1713, thanks to Alice Maz)
- Fixed bug in chicken-install regarding variable quotation on UNIX-like
systems which prevented installation into paths with spaces (#1685).
- Fixed a similar bug in chicken-install for paths with spaces on mingw
and mingw-msys (#1727, thanks to Josh Helzer for reporting and Vasilij
Schneidermann for the patch).
- Module system
- Fixed a memory leak when calling (import) multiple times in a row
on the same module (#1772; reported by "plugd" on IRC).

chicken: Update to version 5.2.0
Changelog:
5.2.0
- Core libraries
- Fix `memory-statistics` by returning semi-space bytes and used
semi-space bytes like the documentation says. Old implementation
returned full-heap size and (full-heap - used-semi-space).
- for-each and map now behave consistently in compiled and interpreted
mode, like in SRFI-1. They now stop when the shortest list is
exhausted instead of raising an exception (fixes #1422).
- There is now a srfi-88 module which contains just the three
procedures from the (chicken keyword) module defined by the SRFI.
- A feature identifier named "srfi-88" is now registered.
- The procedures `record-printer` and `set-record-printer!` and a
corresponding SRFI-17 setter have been added. These deprecate
`define-record-printer` which isn't a "real" definition (see #1294).
- On Windows, `decompose-directory` no longer crashes when a drive
letter is present in the supplied path string.
- irregex-replace[/all] have been fixed for empty matches, so they
will no longer drop characters and ignore the replacement (#1661).
- Irregex has been updated to upstream 0.9.7, which also improves
how empty matches are treated in irregex-fold and irregex-split.
- Runtime system
- Quoted empty keywords like ||: and :|| are now read like prescribed
by SRFI-88 in the corresponding keyword mode. Symbols containing
quoted empty prefixes or suffixes like ||:abc and abc:|| will be
read correctly as symbols now (fixes #1625, thanks to Andy Bennett).
- IEEE floating point negative zero is now properly handled: it can
be read, written and distinguished by eqv? and equal?, but not =
(fixes #1627, thanks to John Cowan).
- ##sys#check-exact and its C implementations C_i_check_exact and
C_i_check_exact_2 have been deprecated (see also #1631).
- When garbage collector is manually invoked from a finalizer, raise
an error instead of hanging forever (fixes #1586).
- define-record-type will now give an error if the constructor
definition refers to field that's not listed elsewhere (see #1633)
- Added new -:hu option to set the memory usage low watermark
percentage at which the heap should be shrunk, and changed the
calculation to actually reflect this (see #1379).
- Compiler
- Fixed a bug in lfa2 pass which caused "if" or "cond" \
nodes to be
incorrectly unboxed if the "else" branch had a flonum result type
(#1624, thanks to Sven Hartrumpf)
- Inline files no longer refer to unexported foreign stub functions
(fixes #1440, thanks to "megane").
- In some cases, rest argument lists do not need to be reified, which
should make using optional arguments and case-lambda faster (#1623).
- Values from foreign types which have an argument or return value
converter are no longer inferred to have the Scheme type which
corresponds to the raw foreign type, which was incorrect (#1649).
- Module system
- Trying to export a foreign variable, define-inlined procedure or
define-constant variable gives a friendly error instead of saying
the variable doesn't exist (fixes #1346).
- When modules are registered, they no longer pollute the global
environment with imports made in that module (fixes #1548)
- Tools
- The new "-module-registration" options causes module registration
code to always be included in the program, even when it has also
been emitted as a separate file (for example with "-J").
- chicken-install now correctly checks server response code to avoid
interpreting error response bodies (like 404, 500) as Scheme code.
- chicken-install now follows HTTP redirects when downloading eggs.
- chicken-install will now change to the correct drive before
attempting to change to the egg directory (fixes #1647).
