New minor version.
## 3.1.1
This is a production release that adds two Spanish locales. Users do
***NOT***
need to upgrade, unless they want those locales.
## 3.1.0
This is a production release that adjusts one behavior, fixes eight bugs,
and
improves manpages for FreeBSD. Because this release fixes bugs, **users
and
package maintainers should update to this version as soon as possible**.
The behavior that was adjusted was how code from the `-e` and `-f`
arguments
(and equivalents) were executed. They used to be executed as one big
chunk, but
in this release, they are now executed line-by-line.
The first bug fix in how output to `stdout` was handled in `SIGINT`. If a
`SIGINT` came in, the `stdout` buffer was not correctly flushed. In fact,
a
clean-up function was not getting called. This release fixes that bug.
The second bug is in how `dc` handled input from `stdin`. This affected
`bc` as
well since it was a mishandling of the `stdin` buffer.
The third fixed bug was that `bc` and `dc` could `abort()` (in debug mode)
when
receiving a `SIGTERM`. This one was a race condition with pushing and
popping
items onto and out of vectors.
The fourth bug fixed was that `bc` could leave extra items on the stack
and
thus, not properly clean up some memory. (The memory would still get
`free()`'ed, but it would not be `free()`'ed when it could have been.)
The next two bugs were bugs in `bc`'s parser that caused crashes when
executing
the resulting code.
The last two bugs were crashes in `dc` that resulted from mishandling of
strings.
The manpage improvement was done by switching from [ronn][20] to
[Pandoc][21] to
generate manpages. Pandoc generates much cleaner manpages and doesn't
leave
blank lines where they shouldn't be.
