Changes in ABCL 1.4.0

Enhancements
============

* Consolidated RUN-PROGRAM fixes (ferada, pipping)

In support of getting a more universal UIOP:RUN-PROGAM across all
contemporary Lisp implementations.

* Upstream consolidated patchset (ferada)

** [r14857] Support `FILE-POSITION` on string streams.
** [r14859] Add multiple disassembler selector.
** [r14860] Add EXTERNAL-ONLY option to APROPOS.

Log message:
Update to ABCL 1.3.3

Version 1.3.3
=============

Enhancements
------------

*  [r14802,r14813] Add character name for non-breaking space

   Use a human readable name for character 160, #\No-break_space,
   following sbcl, ccl and clisp. This permits the Quicklisp system
   spinneret to load.  The #\No-break_space name is a valid
   CHAR-NAME/NAME-CHAR pair, but is not emitted as a glyph under the
   current output encoding under the CL:FORMAT "~:c" directive as
   these implementations do by default.

   Thanks to Javier Olaechea.

   Pathname wildcards to match new directory structure.

Update to ABCL 1.3.1
While here, add test target. Temporarily require network access for it.

Changes since previous package:

Version 1.3.1
=============
http://abcl.org/svn/tags/1.3.1/
30-APR-2014

## Fixed

*  The underlying Java Function Interface (JFI) now converts CL:T and
   CL:NIL to JAVA:+TRUE+ and JAVA:+FALSE+.  Users who wish to
   reference a JAVA:+NULL+ should do so explicitly.

*  Make JCALL work in more places.  Thanks to Olof-Joachim Frahm.
   <http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14683>

*  Interpolate CL:SLEEP and THREADS:OBJECT-WAIT for timeouts below the
   Planck timer ("1ns") to a nanosecond.
   <http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14679>

*  Update to ASDF 3.1.0.103.
   <http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14661>

   Fixes loading of Ironclad and other Quicklisp systems.

*  Fix Uniform Naming Convention (aka "UNC" or "network") \ 
paths under Windows.
   <http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14659>

   DIRECTORY now works again on UNC paths.

   UNC paths may be either specified with either back slash (#\\) or
   forward slash (#\/) doubled as the first character in a Pathname
   namestring.

   The patterns in

        //<server>/<share>/[directories-and-files]

   are parsed as

    <server> is stored as HOST.

    <share> is stored as DEVICE.

    [directories-and-files] gets parsed as per the normal rules under
    Windows.

   Mixing namestrings with both backslash and slash characters can
   lead to unpredictable results.  It is recommended not to use
   backslash characters in namestrings if it can be avoided.  The
   pathname printed representation is always normalized to using
   forward slash delimiters.

*  Find contrib based on system jar name.
   <http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14657>

   From Olof-Joachim Frahm.

Version 1.3.0
=============
http://abcl.org/svn/tags/1.3.0/
15-MAR-2014

## Features

*  Make LispStackFrame.UNAVAILABLE_ARG a singleton object,
   and lazily create the little used portions of the Lisp stack.

    Aggressively cache and control the use of memory by the underlying
    Lisp stack frame representation by introducing the private
    LispThread.StackFrame and LispThread.StackSegments classes.

    Contributed by Dmitry Nadezhin.

    LispStackFrame object are allocated on every
    LispThread.execute(...) .  However, they are seldom [accessed]
    ([... verify via] inspect[tion of the] stack trace). This patch
    delays allocation of LispStackFrame? objects until they are
    requested.  Raw information about stack frames is stored in
    stack. Stack is an Object[] array (more precisely a list of [...]4
    [Mib] Object[] arrays).

    ME: We are going to need a way to try to less agressively grab 4Mib
    chunks in low memory situations.

    Memory profiling of ABCL shows that the classes with largest
    allocation count are org.armedbear.lisp.LispStackFrame and
    org.armedbear.lisp.LispStackFrame.UnavailableArgument.

    Contributed by Dmitry Nadezhin.

    [r14572]: http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14572
    [r14579]: http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14579

*  ASDF 3.0.1.94 shipped with the implementation

*  per function call stack and memory exception handler in CL:COMPILE

   Inline calls to jrun-exception-protected (used by handler-bind to
   catch out of memory conditions).  This commit saves generation
   roughly 50 cls files.

   [r14552]: http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14552

*  SYS:SHA256 audited

    The functionality if the SYS:SHA256 algorithim has been audited for
    use on inputs of single for files with recently shipping ORCL Java 7
    implementations (through jdk-1.7.0_51).

    [r14582]:  http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14582

* Connect to NetBeans controlled JDWP via SLIME

    The Netbeans IDE configuration now includes a way to connect to
    the running-under-jdb ABCL via SLIME.  One needs a version of
    SLIME able to be loaded from its 'swank.asd' definition.

* Install 'abcl.jar' and 'abcl-contrib.jar' locally as Maven artifacts

    The Ant `abcl.mvn.install` target now installs build artifacts
    into the local Maven repository (Olof-Joachim Frahm)

    [r14579]: http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14606

## Compatibility

*  CL:DIRECTORY

   The implementation specific :RESOLVE-SYMLINKS argument to the ANSI
   DIRECTORY function has been changed to nil.  This implements
   behavior closer to SBCL and guarantees that a DIRECTORY operation
   will not signal a file error.

   [r14619]: http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14619
   [ticket-340]: http://abcl.org/trac/ticket/340

## Fixes

*  Fix CL:SLEEP for intervals less than a millisecond.

   For intervals less than or equal to a nanosecond, including an
   interval of zero, the current thread merely yields execution to
   other threads.

   [r14632]: http://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14632

   the help!

*  cache Maven dependency resolution to avoid repeated lookups.

   Instead of calling ABCL-ASDF:RESOLVE in both the ASDF COMPILE-OP
   and LOAD-OP, we now cache the result of invocation in COMPILE-OP
   and add this value in the LOAD-OP phase. Contributed by Cyrus
   Harmon.

Update to ABCL 1.1.1

Changes in ABCL 1.1.1:

*  (A)MOP

All reported errors with the MOP implementation have been addressed.

*  SETF autoloader

An autoloader for SETF expansion functions has been implemented,
eliminating the errors associated with not being able to use (SETF
SYMBOL) without first invoking SYMBOL as a function.

* ANSI Tests

All outstanding regressions in the ANSI test suite with respect to
abcl-1.0.1 have been fixed.

*  ABCL-ASDF

The ability to resolve Maven components in ASDF system definitions has
been restored.

Update to ABCL 1.1.0

Version 1.1.0
=============
svn.uri=:"http//common-lisp.net/project/armedbear/svn/trunk/abcl/"
(22 November 2012)

Features
--------

  *  A functioning (A)MOP implementation through the hard work of Rudi
     Schlatte (@rudi)

  *  The implementation can be used across many more Quicklisp systems
     through a process of extensive testing.  Thanks @xach!

     Nota bene: all of the following systems need patches to work as
     of the 2012-10-13 Quicklisp.  All patches have been accepted in
     at least an initial form by the upstream maintainers.

     ** CLOSER-MOP
        Quite possible with local patches
     ** CFFI
       Needs patches to 2012-10-13 Quicklisp.  [!!?]
       *** Dynamic interfaces idempotent across process -- no more reloading
     ** HUNCHENTOOT
       *** some bugs with underlying streams to be fixed in abcl-1.2-dev
     ** CXML
        Basic XML parsing works.  XPath still borked. [???]
  *  Java 5 bytecode Compiler

     The internal Lisp-to-Java bytecode compiler has been hardened by
     regression testing across Quicklisp libraries.

     **  Extensive interpreter/compiler bug fixes due to access to cl-test-suite \ 
[???] @antov
     ** large objects (?!?)

  *  The facility to construct runtime classes via JNEW-RUNTIME-CLASS (@astalla)

    Pretty close to full coverage of primtives for creating synthethic
    java classes at runtime.  Easy to extend with your needs; sensible
    defaults.

    ** Fields
    *** getter/setters
    ** Annotations

  * ASDF

     ** Stock ASDF-2.26 with conditional patches for the URL-PATHAME and
        JAR-PATHNAME implementation extensions to ANSI.

  *  ABCL-CONTRIB

     ** ABCL-ASDF

        Network installation of binary artifacts named by Maven POM uris.

        *** checks at runtime if a given class is present in the
            accessible classloaders
