Fixed command line regression: unsuffixed scripts treated as TXR Lisp rather than TXR. Several bugs fixed in defset macro. Bugs fixed in replace-list and select function. cat-str and split-str accept character object as separator. New hash-peek and seq-peek functions for added flexibility in traversal. New bitset function. New sub-buf accessor and replace-buf function. More efficient carray-sub accessor. Functions for sequence slicing and replacement migrated to newer internal interfaces for cleaner semantics, and turned into accessors. --lisp argument in hash bang line now specially treated by compile-file.

19619 May 2018 15:58 major feature: From the early beginning, TXR has operated on Unicode text and used wide characters internally. Now, at last, Unicode characters can be used in identifier names. Also, the interactive listener, a fork of the linenoise library, finally supports Unicode; it has been converted to use wide characters, like the rest of TXR.
19505 May 2018 04:41 major bugfix: Fixed regression from TXR 190 causing special variable function arguments not to work properly. Additional fixes were done in this area to tighten the semantics. TXR's fallback mechanism for discovering its own executable path was incorrect; it was used on Solaris, MacOS and also on any unsupported platform. This caused TXR to malfunction unless invoked via a full path. Those two platforms now have a platform-specific method for self-path discovery, and the fallback mechanism behaves more sanely also.
19401 May 2018 03:58 major bugfix: Fixed failure to handle most negative integer in FFI conversion, resulting in the Win32 basic window example not working in 32 bit mode.

Features: load-time operator for easily embedding statically computed data into code as if it were a literal; code generation improvements for destructuring and string quasiliterals; optimization away of block forms; big improvement in VM stack use.
19220 Apr 2018 00:40 major bugfix: Compiler bugfixes: now handles ((lambda ..) args ..) form and correctly compiles unwind-protect. Eliminated gratuitous consing in apply function. Little-endian build of TXR now loads .tlo files compiled on big-endian and vice versa. Case macros with integer or character keys in a dense range now compile to direct jump table.
19111 Apr 2018 06:37 major feature: TXR now has a compiler and virtual machine for faster loading of code which takes less space, executes faster, generates less garbage and is resistant to reverse-engineering. Some other minor enhancements are included in this release and a higher-than-usual number of bugfixes.
19019 Feb 2018 04:04 major feature: New features in the interactive listener. Limitation removed from Lisp load function: it can now process .txr files. Bugfixes in expansion related to op family of operators. Minor autoload-related bugfix.
18907 Feb 2018 07:05 major feature: Numerous improvements in abstract sequence model in OOP system; read and iread functions no longer record source location info, unless requested, a number of important bugfixes.

Optimizations in regex implementation and new function regex-prefix-match. Listener provides visual feedback when expecting more characters in incomplete line. Lisp syntax a.b .. c.d now has the intuitive precedence between the . and .. Fixed a bug causing the incorrect printing of some regular expressions.
18531 Aug 2017 01:54 major feature: Five-and-a-half year old string processing bug fixed, dating back to TXR 55; kludgy op and do macro implementation rewritten from C to Lisp.
18423 Aug 2017 20:33 major feature: Ported to 64 bit ARM8 (aarch64). New library functions: isec, uni, spl, tok, digpow, digits, sum, prod, divides. New alias len for length and diff for set-diff, the latter being deprecated. Functions logand, logior, logxor and bit accept character operands now. New looping macros doloop and doloop*. FFI I/O functions: write and read FFI types to and from streams. New stream types for I/O into buffers. New base64 stream-to-stream encode and decode functions. truncate-stream function's length argument optional, defaulting to stream position. @(bind x y) does two-way string tree match now even when x isn't a variable, just like when it's a variable. Bugfixes.
18320 Jul 2017 18:26 major feature: @(collect) and @(coll) now have a :lists argument. @(collect :lists (x y)) means that the variables x and y will be bound if the collect terminates. Independently, if there was no match for x or y, they get bound to the empty list. This doesn't impose any strict collection discipline like :vars. FFI: some increased flexibility in the area of carray and buffers. (symbol-function ...), (symbol-value ...) and (symbol-macro ...) forms are now assignable when the binding doesn't exist, and create it. format now has a way to pad floating-point values with leading zeros. New :text option type in getopts. New function relate, and accessor nth, the latter from ANSI Common Lisp. New special variable *filters*, exposes the hash where the named filters of the Extraction Language are stored. Minor bugfixes.
18210 Jul 2017 06:36 major feature: A few conveniences in FFI to streamline a some common scenarios. Structure init and postinit functions can now be accessed and redefined. Lambda expressions are now function names and can be used in the first position of a form, improving compatibility with other Lisp dialects. Bugs fixed in static-slot-ensure which is the basis for the method-defining defmeth macro. Minor issue in listener: handling of linefeeds when a multi-line previous result is pasted with Ctrl-X P. Documentation improvements.
18105 Jul 2017 22:24 major feature: New functions maprod and maprend: like mapcar and mappend, but map Cartesian products rather than parallel elements. FFI: enum types can be based from types other than int; API improvements to unions and cptr; deffi-sym macro for declaring foreign external symbols themselves (not the variables they denote) as Lisp variables. FFI bugs: incorrect behaviors in the zarray FFI type; broken struct/union return values on big endian architectures; more bugs fixed in struct bitfield layout.
18026 Jun 2017 04:45 major feature: FFI type system now has support for C unions. A bool type added: byte sized by default, available in other sizes and even floating-point. Also, new: longlong and ulonglong types. Fixed a TXR 170 regression in the horizontal flavor of @(trailer) directive. Fixed append redirection operator - in the awk macro not actually openin a file in append mode. Fixed awk not closing the stream opened with :output "filename" when done executing, leaving it to the garbage collector. Fixed bug in FFI's handling of the float type and an issue with cptr.
17919 Jun 2017 14:06 major feature: Improvements in Lisp listener: line breaks can be entered with just Enter, when the syntax is incomplete; Ctrl-X ? displays a three-page command "cheat sheet"; multi-line mode now default. Improvements in generic sequences. more functionality in carray type, including conversion of carray storage to and from integer. Hardened the internals in the area of bignum integer manipulation. Broken sign-extend function fixed. Bug fixed in bitfield layout logic in FFI structs.

17708 Jun 2017 05:07 major feature: Yet more FFI development. FFI now supports bitfields and enums. An operator in the type language lets the programmer control alignment, for packing fields, or conforming to stricter alignment. Endian types are provided for automatic little and big endian encoding of integer and floating-point types. New stream functions for I/O to and from buffers. Other features and important bugfixes, particularly in FFI. Big endian machines supported by FFI: testing done on PPC64.
17622 May 2017 13:21 major feature: The new FFI functionality introduced in 175 is much more complete, and better debugged. Some new library functions: dir-name, base-name. POSIX realpath is exposed. Awk macro has a new feature: the (again) operator, which is like (next) for going to the next record, but repeats processing over the current record.
17515 May 2017 15:04 major feature: This release adds a Foreign Function Interface (FFI). Also contains some half dozen feature enhancements and some fifteen important bugfixes.
17406 Apr 2017 14:50 minor bugfix: Bugfixes in: lexical scanner; non-interactive mode of listener; separate-directory build; apply and iapply function. opip macro now treats unbound slot ref syntax in a useful way. Directives of the pattern language are integrated into package system. Couple of new time-related functions. The existing -n flag now also forces listener into plain mode, allowing txr to be used as an inferior Lisp out of Emacs.
17325 Mar 2017 16:50 major feature: Semantics improvement in matching variables delimited by directives which follow. Tab completion in listener now sensitive to .slot or .(method context. Behavior of functions calling call-finalize is now specified, allowing for more complete "RAII" programming and related techniques. Static, code-expansion-time warnings are now issued when slots are accessed that do not belong to any type. This feature caught a typo in a termios method in the library, alerting to the lack of testing of that code. MS Windows: the 16x16 icon is improved. Bugfixes: fixed warnings not being generated against Lisp code loaded from a main .txr file. Fixed unbound variable warnings not being generated for argumens of ... syntax. Fixed wrong function name printed in trace messages. Fixed "start in" directory of Windows shortcuts to be user's profile directory.
17220 Mar 2017 02:49 major feature: New reflection over packages via mutable *package-alist* special variable. This allows sandboxing: safe evaluation of untrusted Lisp code. Improvements in trace macro: diagnosis on redefinition of traced functions and more. New feature in the OOP system: static-slot-home finds the base class where an inherited static slot originates. Windows improvements and fixes: newly redesigned icons, fix in edit-in-external-editor REPL feature, fixed HOME environment value that was confusing Vim.
17115 Mar 2017 17:45 major feature: This release removes the long-standing annoying misfeature of the mandatory - (hyphen) command line argument being required to indicate standard input. A new "unbound referencing dot" notation is introduced for conveniently currying object references, adding expressivity and succinctness to functional OOP. New functions in the sequences library: rmismatch, starts-with, ends-with. Sequence splitting and partitioning functions take negative indices now for indexing from end. Some significant bugfixes.
17001 Mar 2017 05:35 major bugfix: This release solves long-standing issues in the semantics of @(accept) control transfers, clarifying and improving the semantics.

Bugs fixed: @(output) blocks not applying filters to Lisp evaluations; broken n-perm-k function; wrong exception messages for type errors in +, - and *; fixes in signal handling; fixed architecture-dependent results in PRNG-seeding code in make-random-state.
9327 Jul 2014 17:13 minor feature: New funcs: interpose, mapdo, juxt, log2, get-lines, put-lines, put-strings, lconsp. New case macros. log2 function added. New functionality in search-str. One-arg form of / function. Bindings created using -D command line option are now visible to code executed via -e or -p later in the command line. Fixed broken @(eol) directive. Obscure bug-fixes in @(do) and @(require). Alternative stack (sigaltstack) now automatically used for SIGBUS handlers, not only SIGSEGV.
9222 Jul 2014 02:24 minor feature: New operators ado and ido. New command line option --license. Long overdue flet and labels operators for lexical binding in the function space, added as macros. apf and ipf functions fixed. Uninitialized variable bug fix in select function and in the index list case of replace-list.
