This will be the full release unless it kills kittens. You have until Tuesday to pull the breaks.
Pike 8.0.162 release candidate for your testing pleasures:
https://pike.lysator.liu.se/pub/pike/beta/8.0.162/Pike-v8.0.162.tar.gz
Windows build:
https://pike.lysator.liu.se/pub/pike/beta/8.0.162/Pike-v8.0.162-win32-oldli bs.msi
I did some work on building newer support libs for Windows, but that ended up being 6 hours of mostly frustration. So Nettle, GMP, GTK and Freetype are all still versions from 2008 or so. That build will probably not be promoted to a real release. Use it at your own risk. I'll have another go at that in the coming weeks.
Changes in this mail are not added to CHANGES.TXT. Some of them probably should be.
Changes since 8.0.146 (New Year release) --------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed internal compiler error with implicit lambdas.
* Allow disabling of wrapping of describe_backtrace output.
The wrapping can add lots of spaces to the end of lines to pad them, resulting in enormous backtrace files in some circumstances.
* Make the Pike SSL code work with APNS push server which uses client certificates.
* Added the Markdown module and the standalone pike_to_html.pike from 8.1.
* Web.Api/OAuth: Added the posibility to define the HTTP request timeout in async queries.
* Protocols.HTTP: do_async_method() no longer resets the timeouts.
Setting the query timeouts to something else than the default (120 seconds) should now work again.
* Documentation [HTTPAccept]: Fix all references to HTTPLoop.
HTTPLoop installs itself as HTTPAccept, so fix the documentation to reflect this.
* Build: make precompile dependencies optional
Fix builing of external modules
* Updated to tzdata2016a.
