Tue May 30 08:42:59 UTC 2023 - Andrea Manzini <andrea.manzini@suse.com>
- Update to version 0.82
* Bugs fixed:
+ dict - under some circumstances it was possible to add duplicate keys to a dict
+ file delete - -force and -- were handled incorrectly
+ aio: ssl - fix eof detection with openssl3
+ getref and setref - now accept fully qualified references
+ unset - don’t return a result with -nocomplain
+ Garbage collection - sometimes GC was overly zealous
+ regexp - builtin regexp fix for end of word check
+ dict with - now correctly returns the script result
+ Unicode ranges are closed intervals. This affected the character class of the end character of each range.
* Features and improvements added:
+ aio gets - improve behaviour for non-blocking streams
+ aio TIP 603 - implement stat of an open file handle
+ aio socket pty - filename is now available
+ Included sqlite updated to version 3.38.0
+ redis extension - enable TCP_KEEPALIVE, add support for -type and -async
+ try - add support for trap
+ oo constructor is now more flexible (possible incompatibility with 0.81)
+ socket - add support for -async
+ Updated linenoise now has support for word forward, word backward
+ Updated Unicode to 14.0.0
+ file normalize - now supported on Windows
+ aio copyto - performance improvement for large copies
+ Memory allocator is now replaceable
+ info frame is now more Tcl compatible (incompatibility with 0.81)
+ New timerate command for improved benchmarking - largely compatible with TIP 527
+ vwait - add support for -signal for improved handling of signals in the event loop
+ clock millis and clock micros - now use monotonic time if possible (not affected by system time changes)
+ ensemble and namespace ensemble simplify creation of ensemble commands
* Possible incompatibilities in version 0.82
+ New approach to oo constructor means some existing code may need to be altered
+ info frame now returns a dict rather than a list and can access non-proc frames. stacktrace will continue to work and should be preferred when retrieving a live stack trace
+ New ABI version means that compiled extensions will need to be rebuilt to work with this version
- excluded ssl test from running inside build environment
