'nil' as a symbol was not always treated as nil value constant
(push exp lst) now works even if lst does not contain a list
in that case old contents of lst gets deleted and initialized
with () before pushing exp, this makes initialization of lists
to '() before pushing on it unnecessary.
'time' now works as a timer returning mseconds needed to evaluate
this is also mor compatible how other Lisp's define 'time'
an expression, for old funcitonality of 'time' use (apply date-value (now))
'sort' now takes an optional parameter '< or '> for ascending/descending
also about 30% speedup, like in: (sort myList '>)

correct treatment of symbol 'nil in 'and' and 'or'
eliminated orSymbol reference in soirce code
speedup parsing source

speedup in get-char, get-string, get-integer and get-float
6.4.12
boolean types and symbols are equal
another speed improvement in lambad and expression evaluation
over all speed improvement over 6.4.8 now about 5-10% depending
on expression mix.
local iterator symbols are now handled on environment stack for
better error recovery.

- 7.1.0-rc1
PCRE Perl Compatible Regular Expression support updated to version 4.3
in 'replace' now replacement pattern with back references and as
lisp expression. Sub expressions are stored in variable $1, $2 ... etc.
$0 contains the whole pattern found. These variables are also filled
in 'regex' 'find' (all functions doing regular expressions).
The new implementation of 'replace' is also faster (about 15%).
example:
(replace "%([0-9A-F][0-9A-F])" str (char (integer(append "0x" $1))) 1)
This will do URL translation i.e.: "xxx%41xxx%42" -> "xxxAxxxB".
- 7.1.0-rc2
'parse' can take regular expressions in sepearator when additional
options parameter is defined (as in find, replace)

(like 'dotree', 'context', 'symbols')
PCRE Perl Compatible Regular Expression support updated to version 4.4
extensive manual changes formatting and PDF release
- 7.1.1
surpression of some compiler warnings in Mac OSX compile
makefile for linux has strip turned on and readline support
was not the default
- 7.1.2
third parameter in 'symbol' for supression of symbol creation, if
not found; return 'nil instead.
HTML manual had formatting error, which caused all after 'regex'
to be in curier.
===============================================================================
- 7.1.3 release September 3, 2003
[text]...[/text] caused problems in TCP/IP communications
===============================================================================
- 7.1.4 release September 6, 2003
uninitialized memory in writeStreamStr() caused problems when
running newlisp-tk and transferring bigger string buffers.
win32_fprintf() did not work right for buffers > 2048, which
caused problems in browsing bigger buffers in newLISP-tk.
- 7.1.6
new function 'process' for launching independent child processes
(will not block), new function 'pipe' for use with child processes.
'if' now accepts multiple condition-exp pairs and then works like a
cond without parenthesis around condition-value. 'if' with
condition-exp-exp or condition-exp still works like before.
new 'net-send-udp' and 'net-receive-udp' for UDP communications
without need of net-listen,net-accept and net-connect.
On Mac OSX 'import' is now enabled using to addtional files
osx-dlfcn.n/h for compiling. This import is for '.dylib'
libaries.
'append' now also can append binary strings (i.e. containing 0's)
'joint' now also can joint binary strings (including the joint string)
if the length of a sublist in slice is 0 then sice returns the empty
list '(), previously returned nil. This is more consistent with the
behavior of slice on strings and at the end of lists.
'write-buffer' now acepts both: a symbol or a string
'send' now accepts both: a symbol or a string
'symbol' pretended to create a symbol although context would not exist
error messages now include the offending expression/parameter which
caused the error.
- 7.1.7
speedup in UDP communications (no session registration)
memory leak fixed in 'net-receive-udp'
'first' of an empty string now returns an empty string, previously nil
improved cgi.lsp
'reverse' now works on strings
- 7.1.8
'throw' now is documented (actually happened in 7.1.7)

i.e: (collect "2001-09-20" 5 6 8 9 0 1 2 3) => "09202001"
'slice' couldn't slice lambda's
memory leak in searchBufferRegex() affecting 'find' and 'replace' was fixed
- 7.1.9
'set' with multiple args had a cell memory leak
'transpose' had a memory leak
- 7.1.10
logfile support for remote mode -p and -d with '-l logfilename'
fixed bug in pretty print on command line
fixed bug in 'save', which went into a loop when saving symbols containing
contexts
- 7.1.12
logfile with string -L options also logs remote command line input
'fft' and 'ifft' now can take plain numbers instead of complex numbers
or a mixture of both
regular expression speedup 5 to 50% by chaching the search pattern
and avoiding recompile, speedup greatly depends on complexity of
pattern relatively to the length of the search string
rearranged functions in source files to make newlisp.c more manageable
eliminated various unecessary typedefs
Sun SOLARIS is now supported (not much tested though)
operating system number in last position of 'sys-info'
linux 1, bsd 2, osx 3, solaris 4, cygwin 5, win32 6
strings containig zeros are now displayed correctly i.e.
(pack "c c c" 0 1 2 3) => "\000\001\002\003"
- 7.1.14
redundancy in printString() eliminated
memory leak in 'parse' with regex fixed
the userdefined function for an error is now reported
overall speedup since 7104 of about 5%
commented out undocumented function 'symbol-dump'
===============================================================================
- 7.2.0 is 7.1.14 released October 2nd, 2003
- 7.2.1
moved check for symbol type of lambdaFunc to errorProc for efficiency
cleanup of unecessary defines in newlisp.h
defined 'vasprintf()' to take advantage of vasprintf() where available
'format' now checks for correct number of arguments and well formed
format string, it should not crash anymore on mismatch of number
and type of parameters
newLISP-tk is now version 1.0 with changes for multiline 'tk' statements
(stements containing line-breaks), this allows sending bigger Tcl/Tk
code portions in one 'tk' statement
- 7.2.2
force creation of $0, $1 ... in MAIN even when used in different context
for the first time
supress $0, $1 ... in newlisp-tk frontend in variable listbox
(the $ would confuse tk)
- 7.2.3
replace-assoc now also uses the system variable $0 for the old
list, which can be reused in the replacement expression, i.e:
(set 'lst '((a 1)(b 2)(c 3)))
(replace-assoc 'b lst (list 'b (+ 1 (last $0))))
lst => ((a 1)(b 3)(c 3))
replace-nth now also uses the system variable $0 for the old element, i.e:
(set 'lst '(1 2 3 4))
(replace-nth 1 lst (+ $0 1))
lst => '(1 3 3 4)
added new module 'ftp.lsp' for get/put ftp transfers
updated module smtp.lsp and program spam-filter
symbols set with 'constant' now also gets saved with 'constant'
introduced getContext() for code savings
added error message in 'import' for win32
eliminated win32.cmd
many documentation changes/fixes, rewritten introduction
added chapter about deprecated functions
changes in set/define functions for better protection and
error messages of protected symbols
full stack trace on error messages
- 7.2.4
replace-assoc now returns the changed list instead of the old
association found (which is now in $0)
replace-nth now return the changed list instead of the old
expression found (which is now in $0)
now checks also for missing last argument
replace now returns changed list or string
for changed list count of replacements in $0
count for string replacements is not available any more
(could be handled in replacement expression)
now checks also for missing last argument
remove now returns the changed list
and the number of removed elements in $0
- 7.2.5
chop now also works on lists
coding improvements in slice/sublist() and substring()
newlisp-tk 1.02 now on Linux tmp directory is in the home
directory of the user running newlisp-tk
replace with expression in replacement would overflow CPU stack
after 2048 replacements, now no limit
cgi.lsp v.1.2 now lives in a context CGI for better isolation
httpd v.3.0 with bugfixes for big POST buffers
new module infix.lsp for parsing infix expressions
in newlisp-tk changed /tmp to tmp for Linux/UNIX
