Description:Fixes the :returning :aligned option to def-foreign-call. The :aligned return and argument foreign type specifications have been implemented for def-foreign-call since 8.2, but were never documented. They should be used in many cases where :lisp is currently used, due to upcoming warnings against using :lisp as a foreign type for either foreign calls or foreign callbacks. The :aligned specification should be essentially a nop, passing whatever aligned pointer posing as a fixnum will not change the bit pattern, just as in the :lisp spec.

lisp patch pia027 for windows only
Date posted: Thu Feb 9 12:12:02 PST 2017
Patch name: update/pia027.001
Description:At some point in the recent past loading DLLs on Windows from the directory in which the Allegro CL executable lives stopped working. This is a counter measure to that change, so that putting DLLs into the Allegro directory or application directory) will allow Allegro CL or an app built on it to successfully load dependent DLLs. It is most useful for loading SSL DLLs from the Allegro directory, for applications.

Description:

This patch changes the :ssl module to load dynamically linked OpenSSL libraries. As a result, OpenSSL updates will no longer require an ACL patch or update. This change will be transparent to many users of SSL, but some will need to modify their environment or their code to continue using SSL features.

If (require :ssl) signals openssl-load-error, then it will be necessary to specify the location of the OpenSSL shared libraries.

Most UNIX machines use the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to tell programs where to look for shared libraries. Mac OS X uses the variable DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. Consult your operating system documentation for details on what you should use.

On Windows, this patch changes nothing. Note: the method of loading the SSL libraries has always been dynamic on Windows, but we have been the supplier of those binaries. See the readme.txt for more details on the binaries we distribute and how to use them.

In all cases, it is now the responsibility of the user to maintain a suitable set of OpenSSL shared libraries. In general, on machines with production software, those libraries will be part of operating system updates.

See the updated on-line documentation for details.

lisp patch pia024
Date posted: Tue Nov 3 09:40:42 PST 2015
Patch name: update/pia024.001
Description:A timeout or other asynchronous interruption of normal process flow while in a call to with-process-lock could break in the cleanup code and allow a process-lock to remain locked after the with-process-lock form was exited. This patch delays those interruptions until the with-process-lock execution has reached a proper conclusion. After installing the patch recompile all code that uses with-process-lock.
Impact: recommended
Other info:Code containing with-process-lock forms must be recompiled after this patch is installed to prevent this bug.

Patch name: code/aserve.026
Description:Remove built-in ssl defaults in AllegroServe when configuring a server for https. Specifically, the default support for SSLv2 and SSLv3 has been removed as these are known insecure. Instead, the defaults of the underlying ssl implementation will be used. Also, when using the Allegroserve client, if basic auth is included in the request url (e.g. http://user:password@example.org/), use it when making the request. Explicit use of the :basic-authorization keyword argument will supersede any that is part of the url.

aserve patch aserve
Date posted: Wed Aug 27 08:16:50 PDT 2014
Patch name: code/aserve.023
Description:Allegroserve v1.3.28. If a request read timeout occurs in the server after any part of a request is read, send a 408 Request Timeout response instead of simply closing the connection. If not part of a request has been read when the timeout triggers, such as when a keep-alive connection goes unused, the connection will still be closed. Add a :retry-on-timeout keywrod argument to net.aserve:do-http-request that allows the retry of a request if a 408 response is seen. :retry-on-timeout works similar to the :redirect argument. See the updated Allegroserve documentation for details.

base patch loop
Date posted: Wed Aug 20 12:17:25 PDT 2014
Patch name: code/loop.003
Description:When the comp::verify-type-declarations-switch was added to Allegro CL, which validated the type of a variable whenever it was setq'd or bound in a let form, it exposed many poorly written` variable-establishing habits, where a variable is created in a let or let* form with no initialization (or with nil as its initial value) and thus the value would not match the type declared for the variable (thus finally causing a run-time continuable error). This practice is prevalent in the LOOP macro. This patch fixes many of these issues, by isolating the initialization of the variable from its declaration by inserting a LOCALLY form into the body of the macro expansion.
Impact: recommended
Other info:Could be regressive, but there is a variable called excl::*do-locally-declare* which is currently set to t, which can be set or bound to nil around the macroexpansion of a troubling form, and that will reinstate the original behavior. Please report any such regressions.

base patch random
Date posted: Mon Apr 7 08:59:38 PDT 2014
Patch name: code/random.004
Description:Previously on 64 bit platforms, for fixnum limits larger than or equal to 2^32, RANDOM did not return uniformly distributed values which was most visible when the limit was a power of two, because some bits were always 0. Also for fixnums but on 32 bit platforms as well, for limits that were not powers of two RANDOM had a module bias. These bugs have been fixed and the seeding algorithm was updated as well.
Impact: recommended
Other info:Note that since the random number generator and the seeding algorithm were changed, old experiments involving random numbers cannot be repeated even if the seed is known.

aserve patch aserve
Date posted: Fri Mar 14 08:33:35 PDT 2014
Patch name: code/aserve.021
Description:

Update to Aserve 1.3.26.

Make do-http-request merge the query part of the uri argument with any query parts specified using the :query keyword argument. Before the patch, the following call:

(net.aserve.client:do-http-request "http://localhost/xxx?q1=1"
         :query '(("q2" "2")))
Would make a request to "http://localhost/xxx?q2=2". With the patch, this call will now make a request to "http://localhost/xxx?q1=1&q2=2"

Also, adds a new keyword argument ':ssl-args' to net.aserve:start, net.aserve.client:do-http-request, and net.aserve.client:make-http-client-request. As argument, it accepts a plist of keyword options and values accepted by make-ssl-client-stream or make-ssl-server-stream as pertains to the function being invoked. If :ssl-args is specified all other ssl related keyword arguments are ignored.

lisp patch pia021
Date posted: Fri Jan 10 09:56:25 PST 2014
Patch name: update/pia021.001
Description:Fixes an issue in simple-streams where close calls force-output (in the device-close :around method) and the force-output fails, perhaps due to a broken pipe or other error. Device-close is not supposed to fail, but we want an indication of failure to finish some output. So this patch modifies the primary method for close on a simple-stream to wrap a call to finish-output with an unwind-protect, and to then call device-close in the cleanup. This ensures that close always finishes its output or else tells the user why, and because of the cleanup form, device-close always breaks its connection to the device regardless of the success or failure of any writes to its stream, thus satisfying both opposing goals (that of signalling errors when approproate vs always eventually reaping file-descriptors and other limited device resources).
Impact: recommended
Other info:IF you have overwritten the primary method of close on simple-streams, it is highly recommended you change that to an around method which always calls the next method. Otherwise, this change should be of minimal impact.

The first form will invoke "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t" and pipe the message, constructed from the other arguments to send-letter, to the program. The second form will invoke excl:run-shell-command with this first argument:

  (vector "/usr/sbin/sendmail" "/usr/sbin/sendmail" "-odq" "-t")

base patch regexp2
Date posted: Thu Jul 11 12:12:42 PDT 2013
Patch name: code/regexp2.002
Description:

Originally, (replace-re RE STRING SUBSTITUTE) worked as a simple iteration, effectively applying itself on the "rest of input string" until no match is found. This caused unintuitive behavior, however, when RE has a beginning-of-line constraint.

  ;; Original behavior Second iteration matches "^abc\s+" with
  ;; "abc bc", so the BOS constraint matches again.
  (replace-re "^abc\s+" "abc abc bc" "_")  =>  "__bc"

This is different from Perl's search-and-replace operator, and most users seem to expect that BOS constraint matches at the initial input string.

This patch makes replace-re work as expected.

  ;; Fixed behavior
  (replace-re "^abc\s+" "abc abc bc" "_")  =>  "_abc bc"

Date posted: Wed Dec 19 10:14:07 PST 2012

Description:

The code generator in the SOAP module was making an incorrect assumption about the format of some WSDL definitions. As a result, a no-applicable-method error was signalled when generating client code from some WSDL definitions. The patch corrects the assumption and avoids the inappropriate error signal.

The client code generator was generating an incorrect Lisp representation from a pattern such as <complex><choice>...</choice></complex> in a WSDL definition. As a result, arguments passed to a generated client function were ignored. The patch corrects the generated Lisp type definition, and the arguments are now correctly inserted in the client message.

The function is also modified to collect processing instructions in the XML document into the LXML output as (:pi target data) entries.

If the :normalize argument to parse-to-lxml is one of the keywords :trim-simple, :trim-complex, :trim-all, or :trim, the parser will remove some whitespace characters that normally clutter the LXML output. This non-standard behavior is added as an optional convenience feature. Read the full details in the documentation page for parse-to-lxml.

soap patch soap
Date posted: Wed Nov 14 14:32:12 PST 2012
Patch name: code/soap.001
Description:

Encoding a double-float zero was signalling an error. This patch causes double-float zero to be encoded correctly.

Allow collapsible whitespace in boolean element content.

Several minor enhancements:

  • xmp-redef-default:  NEW variable in net.xmp.soap. The value of this variable defines the default value of the :redef keyword argument to define-soap-type and define-soap-element. The inital setting is :warn; other possible values are nil and :error.
  • xmp-report-error-action:  NEW variable in net.xmp.soap. The value of this variable defines the behavior when an error occurs in a user-supplied :include or :import action in a call to decode-wsdl-*. The initial value is :warn to signal a warning but continue decoding the wsdl. Other values are :ignore to ignore errors silently, or :error to signal an error.
  • decode-wsdl-at-uri:  The uri argument can be a string, a uri instance or a list of args to do-http-request.

Description:

On unix systems, when AllegroCL was started with unlimited stack size (ulimit -Ss was 'unlimited'), the stack exhaustion handler initialization logic subtracted a couple thousand bytes from RLIM_INFINITY which - depending on the numeric value of RLIM_INFINITY - could have ended up being an extremely large number.

This mostly went unnoticed, unless for example a child process (that inherited the limits from acl) attempted to create a pthread with the default stack size which on some systems defaults to the stack size limit if it's not RLIM_INFINITY.

With this fix, AllegroCL does not attempt to set manipulate stack with a size limit of RLIM_INFINITY.

Further, emory pages once allocated and dirtied used to remain in the page table of the process forever. In sys:resize-areas give back allocated but unused memory to the OS (this happens on Linux currently), or at least give a hint to the OS that these pages can be reclaimed (all other systems).

smputil patch smputil
Date posted: Mon Oct 10 10:53:01 PDT 2011
Patch name: cdoe/smputil.003
Description:

This patch implements condition-variable functions for ACL 8.2 based on the POSIX definition of condition variables. The new functions are:

make-condition-variable (&key name)

Create a condition-variable instance

condition-variable-signal (condvar)

Release exactly one process waiting on this condition-variable instance. Returns nil if none waiting.

condition-variable-broadcast (condvar)

Release all the processes waiting on this condition-variable instance. Returns nil if none waiting.

condition-variable-wait (condvar lock &key timeout whostate)

The lock should be owned by the calling process. The lock is released during the wait and re-acquired before returning to the caller. Returns nil on timeout.

Full descriptions will be added to the online documentation of the smputil module.

The macro with-sharable-lock is also included in this patch to provide access to sharable locks with more control than with-shared-lock and with-exclusive-lock allow.

base patch inflate
Date posted: Wed Sep 21 11:45:07 PDT 2011
Patch name: code/inflate.003
Description:

A small overhaul to how headers and trailers are handled in inflate-streams. This patch makes the following changes to inflate-streams:

Add a :compression argument to inflate-streams that roughly mirrors the same keyword argument in deflate-streams. Acceptable values are:

  • :gzip - (default) Automatically read past gzip header/trailer on stream before/after inflating data.
  • :zlib - Automatically read past zlib header/trailer on stream before/after inflating data.
  • :deflate - compressed stream has no header/trailer, only DEFLATE blocks.
  • (header-fn trailer-fn) - Instead of the built-in methods, users may specify their own functions for skipping past headers and trailers wrapping the DEFLATE stream. This can be used to support less common encoding methods, such as zip or pkzip, etc. The inflate module does not capture any information from header and trailers, so the custom functions can also be used to capture this information if needed. The function must accept a single argument, which is the input-handle of the inflate-stream. It should return nil or the number of bytes read. The header-fn will be called at device-open time before any DEFLATE blocks are read. The trailer-fn will be called immediately after the final DEFLATE block is read.
  • nil - This is equivalent to the :deflate option

The :skip-gzip-header keyword argument to inflate-streams is deprecated and will be quietly ignored. This is necessary to maintain backward compatibility with compression support in AllegroServe.

The utility functions skip-gzip-trailer, skip-zlib-header, and skip-zlib-trailer are now exported from the :util.zip package.

Impact: recommended

base patch deflate
Date posted: Wed Sep 21 11:45:07 PDT 2011
Patch name: code/deflate.003
Description:

Clarifies and expands the :compression arguments acceptable for deflate-streams.

Before this patch, acceptable args were :gzip, which added gzip-style header and trailer to the compression stream, and :deflate, which somewhat confusingly added a zlib style header and trailer to the stream.

With this patch, the arguments can now be :gzip or :zlib, which will create a compressed stream with the appropriate headers and trailers added, or :deflate, which will add no headers.

smputil patch smputil
Date posted: Wed Aug 10 14:40:44 PDT 2011
Patch name: code/smputil.002
Description:

When a sharable-lock instance was used recursively in exclusive mode, an array index error was signalled. This patch avoids the error. The patch also corrects an error in make-sharable-lock; the max-shared argument now defaults to 20 as stated in the documentation.

The recursive-p argument to make-sharable-lock is extended and the locking functions and macros accept a :recursive-p keyword argument that overrides the specification in the lock. The argument may be t, nil or a list of the keywords :exclusive, :shared, :upgrade, and :downgrade. The value t is equivalent to (:exclusive, :shared). Read the updated on-line documentation for more details.

cg9.0 patch * ...
Date posted: Thu Apr 28 10:07:24 PDT 2011
Patch names: code90/*,
update.sh,
update.cl,
require-search-list.txt
Description:

This is a preview of the ACL 9.0 CG and IDE running on ACL 8.2. The main use is to test the new Unicode support. To use it, you must:

  • Rename require-search-list.txt to require-search-list.cl.
  • Run update.exe (Windows) or update.sh (all other).

This will rebuild your `allegro' and `allegro-ansi' images to use the new CG/IDE.

The Unicode support allows you to specify any lisp string (which is always two-byte Unicode in the 16-bit version of ACL) as the value of any widget or menu-item or title-bar and so on, or when drawing on windows, and any characters that the font contains should be drawn correctly. This usually allows using Asian or European scripts without specifying a particular font, and never requires rebooting Windows with a particular locale.

There is also support in the IDE editor for saving files using either the default external format (such as Latin1), or UTF8, or two-byte Unicode. See the new options on the right side of the Editor tab of the Tools | Options dialog.

This release also includes all of the other CG and IDE enhancements that have been made for the 9.0 release of ACL.

Impact: experimental-minimal
Other info:This patch requires specific changes by the user in order for the new CG to be used. This patch should otherwise be safe to download.

compiler patch pib006
Date posted: Wed Oct 27 12:19:34 PDT 2010
Patch name: update/pib006.001
Description:Fixes bugs in both dolist and dotimes regarding the checking of type declarations; the comp:verify-type-declarations-switch has brought out incorrect assumptions in type declarations, some of which are built into our macroexpansions, and some of which are reasonable declarations on loop variables that a user might provide. For example, a dolist variable might reasonably be declared as a type simple-vector if all of the elements of the list are simple-vectors, but since the spec requires that the loop variable be bound to nil as the result form is run, the type-checking calls the binding out as an error. In dotimes, the loop variable is always non-negative, and the loop will never run if the termination value is negative, but there will be an error if type-checking is enabled. This patch fixes these unreasonable errors.

aserve patch aserve
Date posted: Fri Jul 9 13:53:53 PDT 2010
Patch name: code/aserve.001
Description:

The :keep-alive argument to do-http-request will now cause do-http-request to return a fifth value: a socket connected to the server. That fifth value will be nil if the server refuses to keep the connection with the client open. Even if the server agrees to keep the connection alive it will close it after some period of inactivity.

do-http-request takes a :connection argument which is how the socket returned by do-http-request should be passed to the next do-http-request call. It is ok if the value of the :connection argument is nil or closed socket. do-http-request will notice that the socket is unusable and will create a new one.

Patch names: code/streamc.002,
update/pia005.001
Description:Fixes many inconsistencies between functions in streamd.fasl (always loaded into the lisp) and the streamc module, which is loaded either explicitly or when gray streams are required. Over the years, the fixes to streamd have not been matched to fixes in streamc, so some simple-streams bugs which were fixed will seem to reappear when streamc is loaded. The streamc.002 patch reconciles these differences. There is also one inconsistency where a fix in streamc was not reflected in streamd, and that is taken care of by the regular patch.
Impact: recommended
Other info:For users for whom the streamc module is never loaded (check the *modules* list) there should be no impact. For users of gray streams, there may be some places where the bad behaviors are expected; test your apps after loading this patch if you are close to a release.

compiler patch pib004
Date posted: Thu Apr 8 11:12:26 PDT 2010
Patch name: update/pib004.001
Description:Fixes a problem on Sparc and AIX platforms where under high debug, generation of source level debug info is attempted, but the info is incomplete because the platforms have not yet had source debugging fully implemented. A warning will be given the first time high debug is seen per lisp session. An internal variable comp::*sparc-aix-warn* which starts with a true value may be set to nil to inhibit the warning from ever being generated.
Impact: minor
Other info:Recommended for sparc and aix users.

aclrpc patch pim001
Date posted: Wed Apr 7 14:08:48 PDT 2010
Patch name: update/pim001.001
Description:Under some circumstances, it was possible for an aclrpc process to remain hung in a write to a socket for which the destination no longer existed. This patch adds a :write-timeout argument to make-rpc-server and make-rpc-client. When a positive value is specified, write operations that take longer than that number of seconds are terminated with a timeout. The default is nil for compatibility with previous versions.
Impact: recommended

Impact: recommended

ide patch pil002
Date posted: Thu Apr 1 10:09:34 PDT 2010
Patch name: update/pil002.001
Description:When using Search | Complete Symbol in the IDE, it could break in certain cases when trying to complete a symbol from a child package, such as :dbi.mysql. In some cases, the Complete Symbol check would then try to check whether the symbol is exported from the parent package, e.g :dbi. If the module for that parent package is not available when an attempt is made to autoload it, an error could result.
Impact: recommended

ide patch pil001 for gtk only
Date posted: Thu Apr 1 10:09:34 PDT 2010
Patch name: update/pil001.001
Description:On GTK platforms (Linux and Mac OS X), if you do a string search in the IDE's editor and then immediately do a string replace on the same string, the first replace that's done will be the next match after the currently selected one, rather than the already selected one.
Impact: recommended

cg patch cg-menu for mswindows only
Date posted: Thu Apr 1 10:09:34 PDT 2010
Patch name: code/cg-menu.001
Description:On Windows, a child window that has a menu-bar would misposition widgets on tab-controls that are not on the initially selected tab.
Impact: recommended

cg patch pik001 for gtk only
Date posted: Thu Apr 1 10:09:34 PDT 2010
Patch name: update/pik001.001
Description:On the GTK platforms (Linux and Mac OS X), setting the pop-up property of a form window in a project to true led to the form window itself being recreated as a top-level window when re-opening the project. This made it difficult to edit the form window further in the IDE.
Impact: recommended

compiler patch pib003
Date posted: Wed Mar 31 13:34:29 PDT 2010
Patch name: update/pib003.001
Description:Fixes an esoteric register allocation bug which leaves the compiler with "No from-creg to move ...", usually to an :iparam (input parameter) location. The fix also removes many "register reassigned to frame" warnings, which were caused by the same mismanagement of input parameters to a function.
Impact: recommended
Other info:Possible destabilization of the lisp. Full tests have been run, but avoid loading if close to a product release. Recompiling of affected code is necessary.

base patch sock
Date posted: Tue Mar 30 14:21:36 PDT 2010
Patch name: code/sock.001
Description:When peforming dns lookups in :clib mode via socket:lookup-hostname, the mechanism for caching lookups did not distinguish between A record and AAAA record requests. As a result, it would be possible to get an ipv4 address returned when requesting an ipv6 address. This patch corrects the problem.
Impact: recommended

eli patch fi-xemacs.el ...
Date posted: Tue Mar 30 14:21:36 PDT 2010
Patch names: eli/fi-xemacs.el,
xeli/fi-xemacs.elc
Description:Corrects an error when using fi:compile-changed-definitions in Xemacs version 21.4 or older. A function not fboundp error could be triggered due to replace-regexp-in-string not being defined.
Impact: recommended
Other info:Affects Xemacs only. You may need to run 'M-x byte-compile-file (<Allegro directory>/xeli/fi-xemacs.el)' from your Xemacs, and then restart it in order to apply this patch.

agraph-3.3 patch pio007
Date posted: Tue Mar 30 14:21:36 PDT 2010
Patch name: update/agraph/3.3/pio007.001
Description:A bug in the Sesame XML transaction document parser caused text to be partially reversed when XML entities were present ("A&amp;B" would become "B&A"). This is now fixed.
Impact: recommended

base patch update.fasl (version 2)
Date posted: Thu Mar 18 12:42:56 PDT 2010
Patch name: code/update.fasl (version 2)
Description:On windows, file times are stored as local to the current time zone, potentially invalidating the cache of downloaded patches when changing time zones or crossing dst boundaries. This patch accounts for this possibility and prevents unnecessarily re-downloading patches that have already been fetched.
Impact: recommended

base-lisp patch pia002
Date posted: Thu Mar 18 14:46:45 PDT 2010
Patch name: update/pia002.001
Description:Fixes typep to recognize a bit array also as one of type (*array (integer 0 1) *).
Impact: recommended

compiler patch pib002
Date posted: Thu Mar 18 14:46:45 PDT 2010
Patch name: update/pib002.001
Description:Fixes a bug whereby a variable which has been set from another variable might under esoteric condition be thought to contain a constant value, even though the second variable is setq'd somewhere within its scope. This might especially happen if the second variable has been the subject of a predicate in a cond statement, e.g. `(let ((y x)) (cond ((null x) (if y ...))))'. The initializing of y is not necessarily the only storing of y, but if x was initially a constant, the bug was that y might be thought of as having a constant type.
Impact: recommended
Other info:Possible regression: Recompilation is necessary, and recommended only when full testing can subsequently be done.

base patch init2r for mswindows only
Date posted: Tue Mar 16 10:40:55 PDT 2010
Patch name: code/init2r.001
Description:Previously, starting a Lisp application with double backslashes could, in some circumstances, cause an error on application startup. This is no longer a problem.

Impact: recommended

base-lisp patch pia001
Date posted: Mon Mar 15 15:58:06 PDT 2010
Patch name: update/pia001.001
Description:Fixes issues with the attempt in the 8.2 CLOS walker to remove macrolet and symbol-macrolet definitions from the code it is walking. An internal variable called excl::*keep-macrolet* which defaults to true can be set to nil to get the removal behavior as in the pre-patched 8.2 lisp.
Impact: recommended

Date posted: Fri Mar 12 10:32:31 PST 2010
Patch name: update/agraph/3.3/pio005.001

Impact: recommended

agraph-3.3 patch pio004
Date posted: Fri Mar 12 10:32:31 PST 2010
Patch name: update/agraph/3.3/pio004.001
Description:AllegroGraph's SPARQL engine raises an error when imposed bindings (the :with-variables keyword argument to run-sparql) are not a subset of the variables mentioned in the body of the query. This error checking failed to include variables mentioned in a CONSTRUCT template or DESCRIBE variable list, which meant that query invocations which imposed bindings for variables mentioned in the CONSTRUCT template alone would raise an error. This patch corrects the error checking behavior.
Impact: recommended

agraph-3.3 patch pio003
Date posted: Fri Mar 12 10:32:31 PST 2010
Patch name: update/agraph/3.3/pio003.001
Description:AllegroGraph 3.3 new support for SPARQL UPDATE did not work correctly on RDFS++ triple-stores when it tries to add new triples. This patch corrects the bug so that SPARQL UPDATE works seamlessly on RDFS++ stores and regular triple-stores.
Impact: recommended

agraph-3.3 patch pio002
Date posted: Fri Mar 12 10:32:31 PST 2010
Patch name: update/agraph/3.3/pio002.001
Description:This patch restores the behavior of print-triple to what it was in AllegroGraph 3.2. AllegroGraph 3.3 inadvertently changed print-triple so that it no longer returned the triple that it printed. This patch also documents this behavior for future reference.
Impact: recommended
