1 :	dbm	570	This is the HISTORY file for the Yale SML/NJ CVS repository.
2 :
3 :			An entry should be made for _every_ commit to the repository.
4 :			The entries in this file will be used when creating the README
5 :			for new versions, so keep that in mind when writing the
6 :			description.
7 :
8 :			The form of an entry should be:
9 :
10 :			Name:
11 :			Date:
12 :			Tag: <post-commit CVS tag>
13 :			Description:

15 :			----------------------------------------------------------------------
16 :	blume	572	Name: Matthias Blume

19 :	dbm	570	Description:
20 :	blume	572	- size info in BOOTLIST
21 :			* no fixed upper limits for number of bootfiles or length of
22 :			bootfile names in runtime
23 :			* falling back to old behavior if no BOOTLIST size info found
24 :			- allocation size heuristics in .run-sml
25 :			* tries to read cache size from /proc/cpuinfo (this is important for
26 :			small-cache Celeron systems!)
27 :			- install.sh robustified
28 :			- CM manual updates
29 :			- paranoid mode
30 :			* no more CMB.deliver() (i.e., all done by CMB.make())
31 :			* can re-use existing sml.boot.* files
32 :			* init.cmi now treated as library
33 :			* library stamps for consistency checks
34 :			- sml.boot.<arch>-<os>/PIDMAP file
35 :			* This file is read by the CM startup code. This is used to minimize
36 :			the amount of dynamic state that needs to be stowed away for the
37 :			purpose of sharing between interactive system and user code.
38 :			- CM.Anchor.anchor instead of CM.Anchor.{set,cancel}
39 :			* Upon request by Elsa. Anchors now controlled by get-set-pair
40 :			like most other CM state variables.
41 :			- Compiler.CMSA eliminated
42 :			* No longer supported by CM anyway.
43 :			- fixed bugs in pickler that kept biting Stefan
44 :			* past refs to past refs (was caused by the possibility that
45 :			ad-hoc sharing is more discriminating than hash-cons sharing)
46 :			* integer overflow on LargeInt.minInt
47 :			- ml-{lex,yacc} build scripts now use new mechanism
48 :			for building standalone programs
49 :			- fixed several gcc -Wall warnings that were caused by missing header
50 :			files, missing initializations, etc., in runtime (not all warnings
51 :			eliminated, though)
