[ANN] ECL 9.8.2 (bugfix release)
Juanjo
==========
* Bugs fixed:
- The C inline expansion for sin, cos, and tan were wrong due to
three
recently introduced typos.
- The C inline form of SQRT did not work when ECL was built with
--enable-longdouble.
- When building FASL files, the output file name was not surrounded
by
double quotes, thus breaking when the file name had spaces (only
mingw32).
* Visible changes:
- A new configuration flag, --enable-rpath, allows hardcoding in ECL
the
location of its shared library. This is not needed in Windows, it
should
work on all supported platforms and its purpose is to simplify the
installation of ECL in nonstandard locations.

==========
* Bugs fixed:
- FLOAT-SIGN ignored the second argument.
I will completely replace the previous file. This fix removes almost
all regressions in Maxima.

* Bugs fixed:
- si_{set,get}_finalizer were not exported from ecl.dll and thus the
library
TRIVIAL-GARBAGE failed to build in Windows
- The MSVC port did not define @ECL_LDRPATH@ and failed to build
ecl.dll
- The sequence functions did not understand the newest specialized
array types.
* Visible changes:
- The configuration flag --with-__thread now defaults to NO because
many
platforms do not support it and GCC does not complain, making
reliable
detection impossible.
- For further compatibility with SBCL, ECL now supports two
additional
buffer types :FULL and :LINE which are compatible with :FULLY-
BUFFERED
and :LINE-BUFFERED (Thanks to Matthew Mondor)
- The sockets library can now be loaded using either (REQUIRE
'SOCKETS)
or (REQUIRE 'SB-BSD-SOCKETS).
