Seed7 Release 2015-04-19

Hello,


I have released a new version of Seed7: seed7_05_20150419.tgz In the
Seed7 programming language new statements and operators can be
declared easily. Types are first class objects and therefore
templates/generics need no special syntax. Object orientation is used
when it brings advantages and not in places when other solutions are
more obvious.


Seed7 is covered by the GPL (and LGPL for the Seed7 runtime library).


Changelog:
- The library httpserv.s7i, which supports HTTP server HTTP requests,
    has been added.
- The comanche webserver has been changed to use the library
    httpserv.s7i.
- The example program which.sd7 has been added. This program locates
    in which directory a command is found.
- In shell.s7i the modes used for popen and popen8 have been changed.
    Now a pipe can be opened with the binary modes "r" (read) and
    "w" (write), or with the text modes "rt" (read) and "wt" (write).
- Variants of the functions popen and popen8, which use an array of
    parameters, have been added to shell.s7i.
- In tls.s7i the function gets has been changed to return as soon as
    data is available. This behavior corresponds to the gets function
    in socket.s7i.
- Checks for the radix operator have been added to chkbig.sd7 and
    chkint.sd7.
- Interpreter and compiler have been improved such that the files
    STD_IN, STD_OUT and STD_ERR are in binary mode.
- The function doRemove in chkccomp.c has been improved to check for
    the presence of the file before it is removed.
- The function checkPopen has been been added to chkccomp.c.
- The function cmdShellEscape in cmd_rtl.c has been improved. Now all
    characters except '\0;', '\n' and '\r' can be escaped ('\r' can be
    escaped under Linux/Unix/BSD).
- Now there are two versions of cmdShellEscape and the define variable
    ESCAPE_SHELL_COMMANDS decides which one is used.
- The function filPopen has been changed, to open a pipe in binary or
    text mode.
- In fil_rtl.c the function read_and_alloc_stri has been changed to
    read the data into a list of buffers. Afterwards the string is
    allocated, the data is copied and the buffer list is freed. This
    improves the perfomance, when the file is a pipe.
- In fil_rtl.c the function doGetsFromTerminal has been changed to
    check for a negative length.
- In soc_rtl.c the function read_and_alloc_stri has been added. This
    function reads the data into a list of buffers. Afterwards the
    string is allocated, the data is copied and the buffer list is
    freed.
- In soc_rtl.c the function socGets has been improved to use
    read_and_alloc_stri, when the requested length is larger than 1 MB.
- In soc_rtl.c the function socWrite has been improved to call send()
    again, when not all data has been written.
- In prclib.c the functions prc_block_catch_all and
    prc_block_otherwise have been improved to free the fail_stack.
    This way the call stack that is written, when an exception
    terminates the program, is always correct.
- The function escape_command in striutl.c has been improved.
- Verbose exceptions have been added to big_rtl.c, fil_rtl.c,
    pol_sel.c, pol_unx.c and soc_rtl.c.
- The logging of C functions in big_rtl.c, cmd_rtl.c, fil_rtl.c,
    hsh_rtl.c, int_rtl.c, pcs_rtl.c, pcs_unx.c, pcs_win.c, prg_comp.c,
    soc_rtl.c, str_rtl.c, tim_dos.c, tim_rtl.c, tim_unx.c and tim_win.c
    has been changed to use the macro logFunction.
- The definition of the macro logError has been removed from various
    C files. The new definition of logError is in common.h.
- Trace output has been added to fil_rtl.c.
- Documentation comments have been improved in process.s7i shell.s7i,
    socket.s7i, big_rtl.c, fillib.c

Thomas Mertes
