[slang-users] slang 2 released

["John E. Davis" <davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

S-Lang 2 has been offically released.  See
<http://www.jedsoft.org/slang/download.html> for downloading
information and links to documentation, etc.

I want to thank those who were willing to test each of the development
snapshots and provide feedback, suggestions and patches.  There is no
doubt in my mind that slang is better because of your participation.

Enjoy,
--John

Changes since 2.0.0 pre-release 8
1. src/slang.c:  Under some conditions, no line number information was
   being reported for stack underflow errors.
2. lib/sldbcore.sl: Missing return value was causing a stack-underflow
   error. (Paul Boekholt)
3. src/slmisc.c,src/sltoken.c: In UTF-8 mode, an escaped sequence of
   the form "\xAB" is interpreted as a byte.  Previously, it was
   interpreted as a wide character.  To encode a wide character using
   an escape sequence, use braces ("\x{AB}").
4. src/slstd.c: The putenv function now throws an OSError exception
   upon failure.  Previously it threw a RunTimeError.
5. src/slerr.c: Added NamespaceError exception and changed some of the
   namespace specific function to throw this exception instead of a
   RunTimeError exception.
6. src/slang.h: SL_Domain_Error was missing from the file.
7. src/slerrno.c: If errno_string is called without an errno argument, the
   current value of _pSLerrno_errno will be used.
9. src/sltime.c: The "time" functions were changed from using an
   unsigned long to a long to match time_t.
10.src/slvideo.c: Corrected a typo in the non-Unix/non-VMS specific
   SLtt_utf8_enable function.
11.src/slsh/Makefile: sldb and a few other scripts are now installed
   in $prefix/share/slsh/scripts/.
