Changes since last beta is some WhiteFish cleanup and a signal handler fix.

Changes since Pike 8.0.466 (release 10) ----------------------------------------------------------------------

New Features ------------

o Crypto.ECC

- Added get_point() to Crypto.ECC.Curve.

- Crypto.ECC.Curve.Point objects can now be compared with _equal().

o JWK

- Added Web.encode_jwk().

- Added jwk() to signatures (Nettle.Sign, Crypo.RSA, Crypto.ECC.Curve.ECDSA)

- Added jwk() to Crypto.Hash.HMAC.

- decode_jwk() on a ECC private key now returns an ECDSA object (and a Point object for an ECC public key).

o Standards.PKCS

Support for decoding PKCS #10 public keys through Standard.PKCS.parse_public_key.

Bug fixes ---------

o Protocols.DNS

Added hooks for controlling error handling in Protocols.DNS.server.

o Protocols.HTTP

Fixed a memory leak in the HTTP header parser upon receiving malformed HTTP headers.

o Protocols.WebSocket

Fixed a case where the onopen callback would get the wrong argument.

o Search

Fixes some broken SQL queries causing data corruption.

o Sql.sqlite

list_fields() now throws an error when used on a non-existent table.

o Stdio.Buffer

- Some methods (add_int*, input_from, add_padding) did not trigger a call to the fd output function. When using an Stdio.Buffer instance in Stdio.File buffer mode, this could result in new data not being written.

- Due to an error in the realloc strategy, in some cases unread() did not succeed after reading or writing data to a fd.

o Threads

Fixed a race condition when creating a new thread while threads are disabled.

o WhiteFish

- Fixed issues with merging of empty sets.

- Fixed rank calculation on intersection of sets.

- Fixed multiple memory leaks.

- Improved behavior when provided with corrupted input.

- The module is now tested by the normal testsuite.

Compiler --------

o Improved syntax error recovery, including eliminating some fatal conditions.

o Fixed a memory leak in the preprocessor.

Runtime -------

o Fixed NULL-dereference by the gc when running count_memory() --with-dmalloc.

o Fixed fatal "Didn't find gc marker as expected" at exit --with-cleanup-on-exit.

o Signal handling

Fixed an error where processes would share the same queue for pending signals after using fork(). As a result, a signal sent to one process could trigger a signal handler in the other process.

Building & Tools ----------------

o Configuration

Fixes to the detection of MariaDB, MySQL and Inotify.

o mkpackage

Fixed issue where the error code from extra platform tests wasn't propagated all the way to exit from the install script.
