+ TXR 111
+ 2015-08-08
+
+
+ Features
+
+ - Nested structural objects (list structure, vectors, hashes) are now printed
+ with line breaks and indentation.
+
+ - Introducing global lexical variables, introduced with defvar
+ and defparml. Global lexicals are not marked special, and so local
+ bindings of the same symbols are ordinary lexicals and not dynamic.
+
+ - Numerous variables in the library are now global lexical rather than special.
+
+ - pi and e are now provided as %pi% and %e%, global lexical.
+ The *pi* and *e* specials are retained, and obsolescent.
+
+ - New hash-revget function for reverse lookup through hash tables.
+
+ - New function func-get-name for obtaining name from function.
+
+ - New ~! format directive for controlling hanging indentation.
+
+ - format conversions now support ^ character for centering within
+ a field.
+
+ - Output streams now support indentation. This is used by the object
+ printer and by the ~! format directive, and also exposed by
+ a group of new functions like set-indent-mode.
+
+ - TXR Lisp documentation sections re-arranged for better organization,
+ and other improvements in documentation.
+
+ - Improvements in matching error exceptions to source code location,
+ and some other diagnostic improvements.
+
+ - New wrapper functions for Unix lstat and fstat for inquiring about the
+ properties of symbolic links, and open files.
+
+ - New Unix wrappers for uid/gid functions: getuid, setuid, etc.
+
+ - New functions for conveniently testing for file existence, type, ownership
+ and permission, and relative age.
+
+ - Debugger won't step into auto-loaded library code now, unless
+ requested with new --debug-autoload command line option.
+
+ Bugs
+
+ - Fixed parsing bug in txr-case macro: throwing error on correct syntax.
+
+ - Discovered that an object initialization pattern believed to be
+ correct is flawed in the face of generational GC. Fixed instances
+ in hashing and regex module.
+
+ - Documented special variable *args-full* is now actually implemented.
+ It was implemented as *full-args*, which is retained, but obsolescent.
+
+ - Operations on an output string stream which overflow throw
+ exception instead of returning nil.
+
+ - Fixed incorrect handling of negative field widths in format,
+ when specified dynamically via *.
