[Help-smalltalk] GNU Smalltalk 2.95d released


From: Paolo Bonzini
Subject: [Help-smalltalk] GNU Smalltalk 2.95d released
Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2007 14:37:38 +0200
User-agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 (Macintosh/20070728)

The new release is now available from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/smalltalk/smalltalk-2.95d.tar.gz and includes the following changes:

* The documentation generator used during the build is also installed as gst-doc.

* Late binding of variable names allows a single Eval to load an external file and refer to a class defined in that file.

* Added new Sport package.

* SUnit testsuites can access variables defined on the command-line to gst-sunit.

* The ZLib deflation stream was rewritten and supports partial flushing.

* Added parser written in Smalltalk for GNU Smalltalk 3.0 syntax.

* Faster package loading, does not need InfoZIP anymore except when building gst.

* Rewritten DBI library with support for MySQL and Postgres, contributed by Mike Anderson.

* Includes bugfixes in 2.3.6.

* Stricter argument check for #copyFrom:to: and #copyFrom:.


From now on, the 3.0 branch is considered feature-frozen.

This release is known to fail `make check' on x86-64 machines.
