Hi all,
TXR 198 is out. Binaries at Bintray.
This contains some important bugfixes:
- assertion in ftw function
- nonworking (next) in Awk macro
- nonworking equal comparison of two hash tables.
- problem with copy-hash creating object with uninitialized field.
- crash in interactive listener when yanking selection.
The major feature in this release is that hashing of strings and buffers is now keyed. Unlike some other languages, TXR doesn't seed hashing differently on each instance; in the TXR project we value reproducible behavior as a default. The programmer can arrange for a seed. The *hash-seed* variable is dynamically scoped, so it's easy to either globally seed, or to seed individual hash tables differently. A gen-hash-seed function is provided for generating a value suitable for this variable, or the programmer can roll their own.
Cheers ...
