To update, run "perl DEVEL/nhgitset.pl"
Fixes:
- "nhcommit -a" has been fixed
- NHDT was hardwired in places
- no longer complain about a missing dat directory outside of the
NetHack source tree
- make update of gitinfo atomic
- Replace some hardwired directory separators with OS-dependent constructs
Backwards Incompatibilities:
- NH_DATESUB's DATE() is now Date() to match the other variables
- MSYS2 requires an additional Perl package - the MSYS2 docs have
been updated
New Help System:
- git nhhelp
This command mirrors "git help" for nh* commands.
- See git nhhelp nhsub for general help on substitution variables
New Substitution Variables:
-Brev()
An aBREViation of $PREFIX-Branch$:$PREFIX-Revision$ - this
may help get line length under control in file headers.
-Assert(TYPE=VALUE)
If TYPE does not match VALUE, do not substitute on this line.
TYPE P checks VALUE against nethack.substprefix
-Project(arg)
Returns nethack.projectname if there is no arg and an uppercase
version if arg is uc.
Other New Features:
- Add nethack.projectname
- Documentation updates - see "git nhhelp nhsub"
- On checkout or merge of a branch, check for nhgitset version updates
and provide an optional message to the user.
- Move NH_DATESUB substitutions here from cron job to keep dates in sync
- PREFIX-* keywords now available in NH_DATESUB templates
- Support use of nhgitset.pl from a different repo; note that update
checks will be dependent on keeping the original source repo up-to-date
and in the same location.
make it clearer how to change the fetch try order
avoid odd output if more than one lua .gz file exists
make it clearer if we don't have a checksum for a fetched file
DUMPLOG requests the DUMPLOG feature as it does now
DUMPLOG_CORE requests the internal buffering only (used for CRASHREPORT)
This allows CRASHREPORT to access recent messages without performing
any file I/O.
add CRASHREPORT for Windows
add ^P info to report (via DUMPLOG)
new options: crash_email, crash_name, crash_urlmax
new game command: #bugreport
new config option: CRASHREPORT_EXEC_NOSTDERR
new command line option: --bidshow
deleted helper scripts:
NetHackCrashReport.Javascript
nhcrashreport.lua
misc:
update CRASHREPORTURL (will need to be updated before release)
update bitrot in winchain
winchain for Windows
add missing synch_wait for NetHackW --showpaths
add PANICTRACE (and CRASHREPORT) in mdlib.c:build_opts
missing:
packaging (Windows needs the pdb file)
no testing with MSVC command line build
port status:
linux: working, but glibc's backtrace doesn't show static functions
Windows VS: working. pdb file is large - looking into options
MacOS: working
msdos: not supported
VMS: not supported
MSVC: planned, but not attempted
MSYS2: working, but libbacktrace not showing symbols (yet?)
- fix stack imbalances
- call panic() instead of nhl_error() if L==0 to prevent immediate crash
- drop unused argument prep in get_nh_lua_variables
- change nhl_pcall_handle to clean up stack after calling impossible()
- don't force full garbage collection runs
- don't collect garbage to do memory usage checking
- remove unnecessary stack resets
- add nhl_pcall_handle() to wrap all nhl_pcall calls that didn't check
return value and either panic() or impossible()
- add --loglua (unix only) to dump Lua memory and steps info to livelog
- remove old logging
- set memory and step limits on all Lua VMs
