slang 1.3.10 available


Version 1.3.10 of the slang library is now available for testing.  It
is available from:

   ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/

and the mirrors:

   ftp://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/unix/misc/slang/
   ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/pub/unix/news/slrn/
   ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/lang/slang/
   ftp://ftp.plig.org/pub/slang/

For more information about the library and programs that utilize it,
visit the slang web site at http://www.s-lang.org.

Note that 1.3.x versions are development versions of the 1.4.x series.

Changes since 1.3.9 include:

0.  typedef unsigned short SLsmg_Char_Type added to slang.h.
    Applications that access SLsmg functions read/write_raw and
    SLsmg_char_at should use SLsmg_Char_Type unstead of unsigned short
    because this will be changed to unsigned long in version 2.0.

1.  Documentation patches from Vlad Harchev <hvv@xxxxxxxx> added.
2.  slstring.c:  offsetof(SLstring,bytes) -->
    offsetof(SLstring,bytes[0]) to avoid compiler warning on some
    systems.
3.  slcmplex.c: an int was used where a double should have beed used.
4.  egcs g++ was optimizing slang.c:SLclass_push_ptr_obj away because
    it was declared as inline.  In my opinion, this is another g++ bug.
5. sscanf intrinsic added.  See docs.
6. SLmake_lut rewritten to correct incorrect handling of ranges with a
   hyphen at the end.
7. Small bug involving non-BCE terminals in SLsmg_set_color_in_region
   fixed.
8. Functions SLcomplex_asinh/acosh/atanh implemented.
9. install-elf will nolonger install .h files twice.
10. @Struct_Type may be used to create a struct.
12. X[i]++, X[i]-=Y, etc implemented.
13. Much of slw32tty.c rewritten to fix several bugs in the win32 tty
    support.  In addition, if SLgetkey_map_to_ansi(1) has been called,
    then function and arrow keys will produce escape sequences that
    allow one to distinguish alt, ctrl, and shift function keys.
14. OS/2 specific typo in slposdir.c corrected (Eddie Penninkhof
    <wizball@xxxxxxxxx>).
15. slang.c:add_slang_function: On the very rare occasion that this
    function failed, memory would get freed twice.
