| base patch hash | |
| Date posted: | Thu Jan 23 06:37:37 PST 2025 |
| Patch name: | code/hash.001 |
| Description: |
Adds a new hash-table implementation called :old-vectors. This allows a hash-table which needs huge key and/or value vectors to have those vectors allocated directly into old space if there is room, rather than starting out in newspace (and thus forcing newspace to expand). Enough room in oldspace must be provided initially for not only initial hash-table allocation, but also any rehashing that might be needed. See the documentation for details. |

| ide patch pnl006 | |
| Date posted: | Thu Jan 23 06:21:11 PST 2025 |
| Patch name: | update/pnl006.001 |
| Description: | IDE runtime analyzer enhancements in this large patch include highlighting the outline item that's under the mouse cursor (to make it easier to see which percentages go with each function), new widgets for controlling the depth of the displayed information, and new options for how much information is displayed in nodes of runtime analysis graphs. Plus some small fixes. The CG patch for stranded highlighting in outline widgets is needed along with this one, or else moving the mouse over an IDE backtrace would break. |

| cg patch pnk010 | |
| Date posted: | Thu Jan 23 06:15:05 PST 2025 |
| Patch name: | update/pnk010.001 |
| Description: | When using the highlight-item-under-mouse option of the outline widget, an outline-item that was under the mouse cursor could be left highlighted after closing other items with the arrow keys rather than with the mouse. The IDE patch for runtime analyzer enhancements is needed along with this one, or else moving the mouse over an IDE backtrace would break. |

| ide patch pnl005 | |
| Date posted: | Thu Jan 23 06:06:50 PST 2025 |
| Patch name: | update/pnl005.001 |
| Description: | In the IDE's Restarts dialog, selecting the restart "Invoke the editor on the form being compiled" did not print the error message to the listener. That was inconsisitent with selecting other restarts or canceling from the error, and the error message was missing from the listener's record of all errors that were reported. |

| cg patch pnk009 | |
| Date posted: | Thu Jan 23 05:59:41 PST 2025 |
| Patch name: | update/pnk009.001 |
| Description: | When designing a dialog interactively as a form window in an IDE project, if the dialog contains widgets that display pixmaps at design time, and those pixmaps were loaded from files with load-pixmap (rather than defined as pixel arrays in lisp), then running the project's generated standalone application in web browser mode would not find the pixmap files to load. (The project still must include the pixmap files as distributed files.) |

| ide patch pnl004 | |
| Date posted: | Thu Nov 14 09:05:30 PST 2024 |
| Patch name: | update/pnl004.001 |
| Description: | In certain cases, a particular IDE dialog might simply not appear at all when shown for the first time in an IDE session, due to being shifted outside of the main IDE window. For the Options dialog specifically, its default position was inadvertently hard-coded with its left edge at about 870, and so it would not be seen if the main IDE window is not that many pixels wide. For other IDE dialogs, it could happen if the main IDE window is made smaller than where the dialog was located most recently, if that location got saved in the options file for the current screen size. With this patch, any newly-created IDE dialog will be shifted fully into view if needed. |

| cg patch cgjs.html | |
| Date posted: | Thu Nov 14 08:57:04 PST 2024 |
| Patch name: | cgjs.html |
| Description: | If a CG/JS app (in a web browser) has apparently failed to finish starting up, then the initial "Loading ..." message on the screen will change to a failure message to make it clear that the app is probably not simply taking a long time to start up. The message will be a general one because the communication between the browser and lisp is not there for determining the specific problem, but it may still help us to debug the problem if you send us the message. |

| Patch name: | code/deflate.001 |
| Description: | macOS only: have the :deflate module look for libz.1.dylib in the Homebrew installation, rather than signal an error. Users not using Homebrew on macOS should load libz.1.dylib from their preferred source before (require :deflate) is evaluated. |

| cg patch pnk008 | |
| Date posted: | Tue Sep 3 13:30:33 PDT 2024 |
| Patch name: | update/pnk008.001 |
| Description: | In an SMP IDE or CG app that's running in Windows Desktop mode,confusion might result due to a few uses of mp:with-process-lock that could allow Windows messages to get handled out of order at low-level times. The simple fix is to wrap mp:with-message-interrupts-disabled around those forms. There is no known failure case, but there was a vulnerability in CG code that was similar to a known problem in the IDE, which has a separate patch. |

| lisp patch pna002 | |
| Date posted: | Mon Mar 25 06:54:23 PDT 2024 |
| Patch name: | update/pna002.001 |
| Description: | The creation of a condition tries to figure out the context at the point of the condition, a la excl:source-context. If source-debug info was compiled in but is not available, a non-existent-file error might result, thus shadowing the real condition's context. This patch fixes that by not insisting that the fasl file with the source debug info exists, which thus allows the context of the original condition to be exposed and handled. |

| base patch aserve | |
| Date posted: | Mon Mar 25 06:54:23 PDT 2024 |
| Patch name: | code/aserve.001 |
| Description: | v1.3.88: modify keep-alive and redirect behavior. When do-http-request is passed :keep-alive t it returns, as the fifth value, the socket connected to the web server if the server agreed to the KeepAlive request. However, if the server returned a 302 redirect and then do-http-request followed the redirect and retrieved a second page then the socket returned to the client was of the server to which the request was redirected (which may or may not be the same as the first web server). This would be confusing the client which expects to always get a socket connected to the first server. With this change the fifth value will be nil (no socket) if keep-alive was true and a redirect occurred. nil is always a possible return value when :keep-alive is true as the server may refuse to honor the KeepAlive request. |

| ide patch pnl002 | |
| Date posted: | Tue Feb 6 13:27:40 PST 2024 |
| Patch name: | update/pnl002.001 |
| Description: | On the Mac, sys:update-allegro automatically exits lisp and installs any downloaded patches, so that the user does not need to find where to do that by hand. But when using the IDE's patches dialog, its Download button did not warn the user that the IDE would exit. With this patch on the Mac, a dialog will first ask the user to confirm exiting lisp, and if confirmed and there are any unsaved changes, a second dialog will allow the user to save the changes (as when exiting the IDE). Other platforms are not affected. |

Now it will show the same set of values as the top-level :processes command, such as runnable, waiting, and inactive. And the Status Note column will show blank space instead of "nil" when there is no note, to reduce clutter. |

| cg patch pnk007 | |
| Date posted: | Tue Feb 6 13:27:40 PST 2024 |
| Patch name: | update/pnk007.001 |
| Description: | An obsolete hack that wrapped a (with-timeout (1.0) ...) around code that shows parenthesis-matching marks (such as in the IDE's editor or listener) could trigger confusion if the timeout happened while lisp is waiting for a reply from the web browser. This would happen only if something unusual caused the time limit to be exceeded. In that case, a Restarts dialog would appear that's blank where the widget that lists the restarts normally is, and some extra gestures were required to get rid of the Restarts dialog. The obsolete with-timeout has been removed, and a couple of related small safe changes were made. |

| cg patch pnk006 | |
| Date posted: | Tue Feb 6 13:27:40 PST 2024 |
| Patch name: | update/pnk006.001 |
| Description: | The buffer where some of the text of a lisp-edit-pane (such as in the IDE's editor) gets cached could get left overly small (especially after using "Edit | Reindent" on a very small definition), leading to inefficiency when navigating lisp code. It's unknown whether the difference might often be noticeable. |

| cg patch pnk005 | |
| Date posted: | Tue Feb 6 13:27:40 PST 2024 |
| Patch name: | update/pnk005.001 |
| Description: | The IDE or a CG/JS app could mishandle the situation if many requests to the web browser get backed up in the browser's queue. This does not indicate that something has gone wrong, and requires waiting on the browser to catch up. But due to not understanding that before the 11.0 release, CG was giving up when a requested reply was not received in six seconds, on the assumption that that single request was using the time. Further, if a second CG process needed a reply from the browser at the same time, then it would time out after seven seconds while waiting on a proess lock and then signal an error. The fix is to time out only after a much longer time that may indicate that something is fundamentatlly wrong. The time is now controlled by the new variable *cgjs-reply-timeout*, whose value is a number of seconds. Its default value is 360, meaning six minutes. If the timeout happens at all, then in the IDE an explanatory modal dialog will be shown the first time it happens, and an error is never signaled. |

| cg patch pnk004 | |
| Date posted: | Tue Feb 6 13:27:40 PST 2024 |
| Patch name: | update/pnk004.001 |
| Description: | If a CG/JS application runs its own AllegroServe web server and it uses AllegroServe's default wserver object, then CG/JS would share that same server. There would then be a conflict if the app's server published a page for the root "/" path or some other path that CG/JS also uses. The fix was to make CG/JS no longer use the default wserver object, though an application could do the same by passing ":server :new" to net.aserve:start. |

| cg patch pnk003 | |
| Date posted: | Tue Feb 6 13:27:40 PST 2024 |
| Patch name: | update/pnk003.001 |
| Description: | The IDE and generated CG/JS apps would not start up on the FreeBSD operating system. This was due to a simple faulty compile-time conditionalization, with a trivial fix. Also, when running on Linux or FreeBSD, you can now use a web browser that's not the default one by setting the environment variable ACL_CG_BROWSER. The value can be either a full pathname like /usr/bin/firefox or the simple command name like firefox. If a simple name is used, then it needs to be found in your shell's PATH. If the specified browser is not found, then it will be ignored and the default browser will be used as usual. |

| cg patch pnk002 | |
| Date posted: | Tue Feb 6 13:27:40 PST 2024 |
| Patch name: | update/pnk002.001 |
| Description: | A block of text could be deleted in the IDE's editor after certain gestures, requiring "File | Revert to Saved" to restore it before saving the file. The known case is when "Edit | Reindent" is done but no reindentation was needed, and then Enter is typed right after that. This was an especially bad bug with a small trivial fix. |

| Description: | This patch updates the file cgjs.html in the ACL installation with fixes for multiple CG bugs, including: (1) Pasting from the browser's own menu (outside of the CG/JS world) could break. (2) Nodes could be the wrong color when zoomed out, though this affects only an undocumented CG facility that's used by Franz's Gruff product. |

| Patch name: | update/pnk001.001 |
| Description: | A CG/JS app could exit during an idle period if some agent closes the WebSocket with an exit code of 1000. The only known case of this is the Gruff demo server at https://gruff.allegrograph.com, but possibly it could happen in other cases. This patch also decreases the chance that an app will exit (rather than restarting as intended) when clicking the browser's Refresh button. |
