NEWS for version 2.3.x -*-text-*- New Modules =========== 1. base64: A base64 encoder/decoder module 2. chksum: A module for computing various checksums (currently md5 and sha1) 3. stats: A statistics module 4. histogram: A histogram module 5. json: Encode/decode json structures Intrinsic Functions =================== The following intrinsic functions have been added for 2.3.x: sincos : returns both sin and cos in one function call get/setitimer: get/set an interval timer wherefirstmin/max, wherelastmin/max: gets index for first/last min/max values of an array wherediff: returns indices where adjacient elements of an array differ. bstrjoin, bstrcat: like strjoin/strcat but for binary strings. get_environ: returns an array of currently defined environment variables. getrusage: Get resource usage lchown: Change ownership of a symbolic link The following functions have been enhanced: array_map modified to support multiple return values. is_substrbytes: Added support for an optional offset into the string. Interpreter Syntax ================== The step parameter was made optional for the _for statement. Struct field names may be an arbirtary string: X = struct {"some-field", some_other_field }; X.some_other_field = 3; X."some-field" = 4; slsh library (used by conforming slang apps such as jed, slrn, ...) =================================================================== fswalk.sl: Functions that facilitate walking the filesystem. listfuns.sl: Set of functions dealing with lists and list-based structures (e.g., heaps). rearrange: Performs an in-place arrangement of values in an array or list (defined in arrayfuns.sl). slsh ==== Using "who" at the slsh> prompt will list the names/values of variables and functions defined at the prompt. API News ======== Note: The slang 2.3.x API is backward binary compatible with slang 2.y.z. Font attributes (italics, bold, underline, ...) may be enabled for terminals that support them by using a color name with a qualifier: SLtt_set_color ("menu", "white;italics", "blue"); SLtt_set_color ("comment", "black;underline;italics", "cyan"); SLang_init_tty: if flow control parameter is negative, the terminal's flow control setting will not be changed. New functions: Functions for dealing with qualifiers passed to intrinsic functions: SLang_qualifier_exists; SLang_get_int_qualifier; SLang_get_long_qualifier; SLang_get_double_qualifier; SLang_get_string_qualifier; Callback functions that allow an app additional hooks into the slang readline functions: SLrline_set_free_update_cb; SLrline_set_update_clear_cb; SLrline_set_update_preread_cb; SLrline_set_update_postread_cb; SLrline_set_update_width_cb; SLrline_get_update_client_data; Functions for dealing with interpreter associative arrays: SLang_create_assoc; SLang_push_assoc; SLang_pop_assoc; SLang_free_assoc; SLang_assoc_put; SLang_assoc_get; SLang_assoc_key_exists; Functions for dealing with interpreter list objects: SLang_create_list; SLang_list_append; SLang_list_insert; SLang_push_list; SLang_pop_list; SLang_free_list; Functions for dealing with interpreter structures: SLang_create_struct; SLang_push_struct_field; SLang_pop_struct_field; SLang_pop_struct_fields; Miscellaneous Functions: SLstack_exch; SLcompute_string_hash; SLpath_getcwd;
