| Description: | When forking a lisp process, timers in the parent are not inherited by the child. This could lead to situations where the child process would sleep indefinitely based on no new timer being established based on the code being executed by the child. This patch ensure that when forking via excl.osi:fork a timer is reestablished in the child process. No such guarantee is made if you are calling fork() directly, such as via the foreign functions interface. |
| Impact: | recommended |
| Other info: | Affects non-mswindows platforms only. |

| base-lisp patch |
| Date posted: | Tue Mar 18 14:18:46 PDT 2008 |
| Patch name: | update/pfa013.001 |
| Description: | Fixes hanging or apparent hanging when printing exceptional float values (nans and infinities) using either ~E or ~G format directives. Since these values are pseudo-floats, on some architectures attempts were being made to format them by scaling and fitting them numerically into the specified field. This would sometimes causing hanging or very long processing time to eventually get an error. Now, these numbers are treated as if they were non-floats, thus causing them to be printed as if by ~A. |

| Patch name: | update/pfk005.001 |
| Description: | CG is enabled for Microsoft Visual Styles in 8.1. This triggered an unattractive border style on editable-text and item-list widgets, which is corrected by this patch and the border style should be typical to that seen in most windows applications. There was also a second bug where sometimes a Microsoft control would momentarily revert to drawing its border in the pre-Visual Styles way when it received or lost the keyboard focus. The reason for this bug has also been discovered and fixed. |

| Description: | The Data Access Working Group recently clarified the behavior of the Effective Boolean Value operation when applied to an invalid numeric literal (e.g., "abc"^^xsd:integer). This patch makes twinql's behavior more conformant in this situation. This patch also includes undocumented functionality for loading FROM and FROM NAMED (dataset load hooks). Please contact Franz Support if you are interested in this feature. Lastly, this patch expands the list of results-formats that do not produce textual output. This should not affect most users. |

| Patch name: | code/cg-text-edit-pane-mark.001 |
| Description: | IDE users on Linux who upgrade to GTK 2.12 will find that an IDE listener simply prints a new prompt when you press the Enter key after typed input. This was due to a value being passed incorrectly to GTK, which happened to work anyway in earlier versions of GTK. The effect was that the prompt mark got moved after any typed text, and so the listener thought that the input began immediately before the newline. |

Theoretically, under certain circumstances with weak-key hash-tables, a hash-table could be forwarded twice, leading to gc death or bad data. It is believed that the bug which resulted in hash.002 shadowed this bug so it was never seen. |

| Patch name: | code/cg-lettered-menu.001 |
| Description: | On Windows Vista, the main strings that appear in a pop-up-lettered-menu menu were right-aligned due to new behavior in this version of Windows for tab characters in menu-item strings. This is not suitable for viewing the alphabetized list in the menu. This affected the symbol completion menu in the IDE, for example. This patch substitutes a few spaces for the tab character between the shortcut letter and the main string in each item. This causes the main strings to be not exactly aligned due to the variable width of the shortcut letters, and so the code change is specific to Windows Vista. |

| Description: | Sometimes on linux when writes are done to sockets that have been reset at the client side, an ECONNRESET is seen and reported, but the stream is not closed and the thread is "leaked" due to being stuck in a wait that will never finish. On other architectures, EPIPE is returned for this situation, and the socket stream is closed and no further waiting is done on the stream. Rather than trying to treat ECONNRESET as a second special case similar to EPIPE, the lower-level write functions have been modified to return EPIPE whenever ECONNRESET is seen. This allows the manufactured EPIPE to be handled the same on linux as on other systems. |
| Impact: | minor |
| Other info: | If you are treating ECONNRESET and EPIPE differently (in which case your code is not portable from linux anyway) - send us a note to that effect if so. |

| Description: | The -H command line argument can be used to set the "home" location of Allegro CL. It is very rare that it cannot be determined automatically, but this command line option is again available to users who need it. |

| Patch name: | code/uri.001 |
| Description: | Prior to this patch, parsing http://example.org/#Andr would yield http://example.org#Andr, which is wrong, because the canonicalization that occurs to remove the / in http://example.org/ did not take into account a query or fragment. |

| Patch name: | update/pfa004.001 |
| Description: | Fixes a bug in the default mop:compute-discriminating-function in which the user-supplied dfun is replaced with an "optimizing" dfun. |
| Impact: | recommended |
| Other info: | Hopefully minor, but since it is a CLOS change, it may affect user CLOS code; apply only if not close to a release. |

| Patch names: | gtk/gtk20.fasl,
gtk/gtk20.cl,
update/pfk002.001 |
| Description: | Running the IDE or a CG application on the Linux AMD 64-bit platform crashed easily, especially when using the file dialog, due to the GTK foreign function interface inappropriately declaring pointer return values as :int rather than as :nat. |

| shared-library patch |
| Date posted: | Thu Sep 13 15:08:26 PDT 2007 |
| Patch names: | acl817.dll (version 399),
acl817.lib,
acli817.dll,
acli817.lib,
libacli817.so,
libacl817.so,
libacli817.sl,
libacl817.sl,
libacli817.dylib,
libacl817.dylib |
| Description: |
Fixes an overcorrection to a previous bug where thread structures were
leaked; the most recent bug was that when a lisp is started and no
significant activity (i.e. gcs) occurs before excl:dumplisp is called,
the resultant image tends to lose one or more threads and allocate
over them, causing distasters of many kinds.
Fixes a bug when restoring very large .dxl images (> 2 Gb) at
startup. The most likely error starts "Truncated file in C read..."
