There have been a number of changes added to the git repository over the
last weeks and months. This an almost certainly incomplete list. I've
tried to include changes that have come up as queries on the mailing list.
Added loadHierarchy to PolyML.SavedState. This takes a list of the file
names of saved states in order from grandparent, parent to child, and
loads them. It functions the same way as loadState except that it
allows the parent paths to be specified.
Types in structures with opaque signatures are now printed as "?" rather
than the print function being inherited.
In the debugger, pressing control-C to the debug> prompt returns to the
top-level. Actually, what happens is that break-points are disabled and
the Thread.Thread.Interrupt exception is raised in the debuggee so it
has a chance to clear up. If the debuggee actually catches the
interrupt exception then it may not actually return to the top level.
There's also a "locals" function in PolyML.Debug to display the local
variables.
When compiling a file with "use", PolyML.getUseFileName returns the
current file name.
The floating point precision is now set to 64-bits to avoid
inconsistencies depending on whether an intermediate floating point
value has been kept in a register or saved into memory.
The PolyML.NameSpace structure has been reorganised to split out
functions related to the various binding classes into separate
sub-structures.
The aim is to wrap up the current changes into a new release, probably
5.6 rather than 5.5.3 since there are quite a few changes. That will
probably be over the next month or two.
