BUILD: Added MacOS distribution build script
FIXED: trie handling of indirect data (float, string) could lead to lookup failure and duplicate entries in a trie. Samer Abdallah.
FIXED: Backtracking on lazy input lists in debug mode. Douglas Miles.
[Aug 6 2017]
DOC: Arity of trie_insert/3,4
PORT: Indicate how to use clang (cc) on OpenBSD
PORT: Document OpenBSD requirements in build.templ.
[Aug 4 2017]
FIXED: Include NaN in the standard order of terms after discussion with Joachim Schimpf: NaN come before all floats and are ordered conforming the float ordering after conversion to a float as done by write/1.
ADDED: Also allow for e.g. -1.5NaN (negative float), compatible with ECLiPSe.
[Aug 3 2017]
FIXED: trie_lookup/3 if the associated value is not atomic. Samer Abdallah.
[Aug 2 2017]
PORT: Test whether backtrace() actually works. Not (always) the case on OpenBSD.
PORT: Fix build[.templ] for gmake and bash in $PATH but not in /bin/bash
PORT: compensate for sed that does not support
PORT: Generate shared object on OpenBSD
FIXED: avoid AGC on finished threads
PORT: Set AUTOCONF_VERSION as required by OpenBSD
FIXED: Apply a6abba9f8986f2725ef7059dbcf737d11aff2ddc (atom table) patch for functors as well and avoid rehashing not-yet-allocated functors.
[Aug 1 2017]
ADDED: thread_create/2 and thread_join/1 as shorthands to simplify thread handling using maplist/N.
FIXED: Avoid deadlock involving 3 threads: one sending a message, another receiving a message that requires GC to be placed on the stacks and a third performing atom-GC. This patch moves synchronization of AGC with garbage collection, stack shifts and stack deallocation from using a global mutex to a per-thread mutex, reducing the impact of AGC on other threads.
[Jul 31 2017]
DOC: small typo.
ADDED: reset/3: restore reset/3 and catch/3 environments.
FIXED: shift/1 could create an illegal term, possibly crashing the system.
FIXED: pack_install/1: avoid "ERROR: ...: A package archive must be named <pack>-<version>.<ext>" message.
[Jul 28 2017]
FIXED: Issue#255: peek_string/3 could fail to terminate. Wouter Beek.
ADDED: base64_encoded/3 and base64_encoded//2, providing options to control padding and the character set used. Markus Triska.
[Jul 16 2017]
FIXED: sandbox handling of @/2. Vladislav Zorov and Anne Ogborn.
[Jul 11 2017]
FIXED: possible crash when handling a signal while calling an unresolved predicate if the signal handler resolves the same predicate.
Package archive
[Jul 14 2017]
DOC: Fixed ungrammatical sentence.
Package bdb
[Aug 3 2017]
PORT: Deal with BDB headers installed as db<N>/db.h
PORT: Accept that DB_FAILCHK is not defined on all versions.
Package clib
[Aug 3 2017]
TEST: make crypt/2 test pass if default DES hashing is no longer supported. We can't test anything else as the supported algorithms are OS dependent.
ADDED: crypt/2: More control over algorithm and salt
[Aug 2 2017]
DOC: Comment on the difference between Unix crypt and SSL package crypto_password_hash/2. Loosely based on a much stronger statement by Markus Triska.
[Jul 27 2017]
FIXED: make_directory_path/1 and delete_directory_and_contents/1: avoid an error if another thread or process created or deleted the same object between the test and action. Jacco van Ossenbruggen.
Package libedit
[Aug 3 2017]
PORT: Check whether we need ncurses.
Package pldoc
[Jul 14 2017]
FIXED: broken pldoc install due to README rename Rename README to README.md in Makefile.in and do not make installation of pldoc.pl depend on successfull install of README.md
[Jul 12 2017]
TEST: Working on new test infrastructure.
Package readline
[Aug 3 2017]
PORT: Check for ncurses dependency
Package semweb
[Jul 27 2017]
FIXED: rdf_statistics(graphs(Count)) to properly handle destroyed graphs.
FIXED: recreating a graph after rdf_unload_graph/1 results in a wrong hash.
FIXED: race conditions around last-graph notion.
Package ssl
[Aug 6 2017]
PORT: Find root certificates in /etc/ssl/cert.pem (OpenBSD)
PORT: LibreSSL: do not use built-in X509_check_host() as it seems to misbehave. This must be investigated further.
PORT: Enable many OpenSSL < 1.01 code when using LibreSSL. These should become configure.in feature tests, but considering many are function types such tests are rather hard to write, so we will write them one-by-one as the compatibility conditions for a particular fragment become more complicated.
PORT: Make sure all headers for included nonblockio.c are configured.
PORT: Avoid /bin/bash dependency
[Jul 31 2017]
ADDED: library(crypto): Password-based key derivation. The new predicates crypto_password_hash/[2,3] implement PBKDF2-SHA512 and will also implement additional algorithms in the future.
For security reasons, it is highly recommended that you use crypto_password_hash/2 instead of crypt/2. This lets you store the hashes of user passwords in a reasonably secure way.
[Jul 29 2017]
PORT: generating test certificates avoids calling seq(1) for compatibility with OpenBSD.
[Jul 4 2017]
DOC: Mention TLS and library(crypto) in the introduction. Itemizations.
DOC: library(crypto): Make the encryption example more secure. We now use cryptographically strong random numbers to compute an initalization vector. With AES, we must never use the same IV when using the same key! Using crypto_n_random_numbers/2 makes collisions extremely unlikely.
ENHANCED: Prolog exceptions on errors during symmetric _de_cryption. Example:
?- crypto_n_random_bytes(16, Bs), atom_codes(IV, Bs),
evp_encrypt("this is some inp", 'aes-128-cbc',
"sixteenbyteofkey", IV, CipherText,
[padding(none)]), evp_decrypt(CipherText, 'aes-128-cbc',
"sixteenbyteofkey", IV, RecoveredText,
[padding(block)]). %@ ERROR: SSL(06065064) EVP_DecryptFinal_ex:
bad decrypt
ENHANCED: Prolog exceptions on errors during symmetric _en_cryption. Example:
?- evp_encrypt("this is some input", 'aes-128-cbc',
"sixteenbyteofkey", "sixteenbytesofiv", CipherText,
[padding(none)]).
%@ ERROR: SSL(0607F08A) EVP_EncryptFinal_ex: data not multiple
of block length
%@ ERROR: In:
%@ ERROR: [8] crypto:evp_encrypt("this is some
input",'aes-128-cbc',"sixteenbyteofkey","sixteenbytesofiv",_10414,[padding(none)])
%@ ERROR: [7] <user>
[Jul 3 2017]
FIXED: library(crypto): Respect padding/1 option in evp_encrypt/6. It was previously ignored.
Package table
[Aug 2 2017]
PORT: Define unix, so we surely can undefine it.
