Pike 7.6.66 is now available as a new stable release.
I strongly encourage everyone to upgrade to avoid the "reference underflow in modify_shared_string()" bug. It's a very hard bug to debug when you get it, and it dissapears if you change your code a bit causing Heisen-bugs.
(I have not made a news item or updated the HTML version of the changelog on pike.ida.liu.se. Feel free to du this before I get around to it.)
Changes since Pike 7.6.50 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in Pike:
o Added support for chunked transfer encoding and handle unexpected multiple headers in HTTP.Server.Request. o Added support for "urlencoded" as an alias for "url-encoded" in HTTP.Server.Request. o Added callback support to Stdio.FakeFile. o Added iso_646.irv, iso_4873.dv and iso_4873 to charsets. o Added UCS-2 API support to Odbc. o Fixed some bugs in Protocol.HTTP.Server.HeaderParser. o Fixed decoding boolean datatype in Protocols.XMLRPC. o Fixed short names in Standards.XML.Wix. o Fixed time(0) to behave like time(), not time(1). This is considered a bugfix and does not have backward compatibility. o Allow _disable_callbacks and _enable_callbacks on closed fd's.
Other:
o Added compatibility for more odbc drivers. o Optimized XML.Tree simplenode creation. o Fixed reference underflow in modify_shared_string() o Fixed segfault when exiting uninitialized mutex keys. o Fixed segfault for two special cases of indexing unexisting stuff. o Fixed gc problem that could produce an error "gc_mark() called for thing in zap weak pass that wasn't marked before" in pikes compiled with rtldebug. o Fixed multiset node ref bugs that affected iterators when the multisets contain destructed objects. o Fixed out of C-stack errors when resizing unbalanced mappings.
Build fixes:
o Fixed win32 compilation. o Fixed detection of SDL.Joystick on win32 o Automaticly add Pike icon to win32 binary. o Fixed signal_handler compilation on OperBSD. o Fixed gcc 4.0 compatibility. o Added mmap PROT_EXEC support to MacOS X via MAP_ANON.
