wily 0.13.42

it lives. :)

new wily version. updated ftp://ftp.cs.yorku.ca/pub/wily/src/
and will update sourceforge later tonight.

9libs had to have a micro-version increment. it is now at 1.0.1.

These are all the interesting changes from wily 0.13.41 to
0.13.42 done by tommy Pettersson <ptp <at> lysator.liu.se>. Please
let me know if you run into trouble with any of these changes.
if you have a philosophical disagreement with any of the fixes
also let me know, and i will try to resolve it. 

thank you tommy. and thanks to derek peschel for bugging me
about configs. thank you to all those who have sent fixes in
the past, some of which is in this new version. i appreciate
the help. 

---- changes ---

Configs for 9libs and wily-9libs have been brought up-to-date
to allow 9libs compilation under Mac OS-X.

The most complicated change is with reading utf8. Multibyte utf
sequences could get split and generate two invalid runes instead
of one valid. This could happen both on file reads, if the file
was larger then the temporary read buffer, and on output events
from external processes. Wily sometimes missed to warn about
nulls when reading large files. Nulls are now replaced with
invalid runes on file reads. Wily will also warn about both

> it lives. :)

Congratulations! Well done. I confirm that it compiles and runs ok for me
on debian.

I have been very lax about applying patches to my copy as they have
appeared, I have been waiting for someone else to do all the hard work and
reconcile them all together. So, I'm very pleased to have this new version.

Obviously, it has not been possible to fix all bugs this time, there are a
couple that I notice straight away. I'll include them below in the hope
that someone will manage to fix them. :-)

I notice that Debian has wily as a package. I don't know who maintains
this? Can we see a debian upgrade to this new version?

Ian

P.S. two noticeable bugs:

1. Binary files. Load a binary fily, /bin/echo for example, and Put it
again as a different filename. The two files are different.
2. Window resize: shrink a window horizonally, then expand it again.
Different algorithms are used for the proportions for the existing columsn
when skrining and expanding.

dpkg -s wily | grep Maintainer
Maintainer: MJ Ray (Debian) <mjr <at> debian.org>

That'll be me, then.

Upgrading will involve moving to 9libs, as I understand it.  I'd
not done that because I didn't succeed in building a version which
ran on all my machines, so I was cautious.  I'll do it Real Soon Now,
or sooner if you'll share your build notes...

Thanks,

./configure;make

:-)

Which machines didn't this work on?

Actually, both the 9libs version and the non-9libs version built "out the  
box" on debian for me.

I don't remember. I'll see what happens this time, if it's got
that easy.
