19		Description:
20
21		Arranged for ml-build to clean up after itself a little bit better.
22		The script generates a temporary SML source file and compiles it using
23		CM, so CM generates metadata (GUID, SKEL, objectfile) for it.  It now
24		gets rid of those at the end, so they don't accumulate under .cm.
25
26		This required a minor change to install.sh because the name of the
27		metadata directory (default: .cm) is actually configurable at
28		installation time.

42		Tag: blume-20040511-win32sock
43		Description:
44
45		Added previously missing support for many socket-related functions
46		under win32.  Thanks to David Hansel <hansel@reactive-systems.com>
47		for the voluminous patch!
48
49		(I have not tested this patch under win32 yet.)
50
51		Here is David's e-mail:
52
53		Hi,
54
55		Attached to this email you find a diff against sml/nj 110.45
56		that will enable socket support under Windows.
57
58		To apply the patch (using unix or cygwin)
59		1) gunzip runtime.diff.gz
60		2) "cd" into "src/runtime" in the source tree of a fresh
61		110.45 installation.
62		3) patch -p 1 < [your/path/to]runtime.diff
63
64		The code compiles fine but has NOT yet been extensively tested.
65		I only ran a few tests for basic socket client functionality
66		(which worked fine).  Especially the functions that use ioctl
67		are not tested at all and might not work (see below).
68
69		I implemented this since we want to move to a newer version of sml/nj
70		but need socket support in order to use it.  This is the first time I
71		even had a look at the sml/nj source,  so please review my changes
72		before making this part of the distribution!  Here are a few issues
73		that I think might be better for someone to solve who is more
74		familiar with the sml/nj source (and socket programming):
75
76		- getnetbyaddr.c and getnetbyname.c will raise a "not implemented"
77		exception since I could not figure out what the windows equivalent
78		of these functions is
79
80		- In sockets-osdep.h there are a some #include statements that are
81		only used in a few files that include sockets-osdep.h
82
83		- In smlnj-sock-lib.c, function init_fn() calls WSAStartup() but
84		does not process its return value since I don't know how to
85		report an error upwards.
86
87		- It would probably be good to have a call to WSACleanup() when
88		the library is unloaded (if there is such a possibility).
89		Otherwise I think Windows will take care of this automatically
90		when the process finishes.
91
92		- I used ioctlsocket() as a replacement for ioctl() but I have
93		no idea if that is actually the proper replacement on Windows.
94
95		- All these issues are marked in the code by "FIXME" comments.
96
97		We use sml/nj extensively in our products and are quite happy
98		with it.  I hope this contribution will help you.
99
100		Keep up the good work!

134		Tag: blume-20040511-allsource
135		Description:
136
137		The installer now honors the "src-smlnj" target again, although its meaning
138		has changed from "all sources required for the compiler" to "all sources
139		the installer knows about".  In other words, if you enable "src-smlnj"
140		in the "targets" file, then the installer will pull in sources for
141		everything.  (Notice that this refers to source code only.  Compiled
142		code is still only installed for modules that were requested explicitly
143		or which are required for other modules that were requested explicitly.)

148		Tag: blume-20040423-ieee-scan
149		Description:
150
151		Fixed IEEEReal.scan (and .fromString) so that if there is an overflow
152		in the exponent calculation we get INF or ZERO (depending on the mantissa
153		and the sign of the exponent).

159		Description:
160
161		The ml-build script now terminates with a non-0 status when something
162		goes wrong.

168		Description:
169
170		Made exception Option to be the same as exception Option.Option
171		(as it should be).

175		Date: 2004/03/19 14:40:00 EST
176		Tag: leunga-20040319-cygwin-nlffi
177		Description:
178
179		Fixed the runtime so that ml-nlffi-lib runs on the cygwin version
180		of SML/NJ.  The problem is that
181
182		lib = dlopen(NULL, ...)
183		f   = dlsym(lib, "malloc");
184
185		does not work on Windows unless we explicitly export symbols
186		such as 'malloc' during linking.  We fixed this by explicitly
187		exporting the required symbols with the magic gcc incantation:
188
189		-Wl,--export-all cygwin.def
190
191		where cygwin.def is a file containing all the symbols that
192		we wish to export.
193
194		I suspect this is a Windows problem and we'll have to
195		do the same (somehow with windows compilers) when
196		we build the native win32 version with the system
197		calls LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress.

203		Description:
204
205		Fixed problem with IntInf.fmt (sign would show up on the right instead
206		of on the left for BIN, OCT, and HEX).

210		Date: 2004/03/04 11:25:00 CST
211		Tag: blume-20040304-symlinks
212		Description:
213
214		Fixed problem with installer script (unix only) where bin/ml-yacc and
215		friends pointed (via symlinks) to absolute locations instead of just
216		.run-sml.  This was reported by Vesa A Norrman.

264		Tag: blume-20031104-move-libraries
265		Description:
266
267		Eliminated the "dont_move_libraries" directive in config/targets.
268		(The mechanism was broken and could not be fixed easily.  Moreover,
269		there does not seem to be any reason not to move all libraries into
270		lib during installation.  I originally implemented this directive as a
271		backward-compatibility feature when I first introduced the new CM.
272		Now that things have been stable for a long time and going back to the
273		old CM is not an option, there is no reason to keep it around.)
