+ A year in the making this release has many stability improvements and various
+ performance improvements. And because of the efforts of Jurko the code is considerably
+ more readable!
+ &lt;/p&gt;
+ &lt;p&gt;
+ [list [li Reflect the results of calling bjam from Python. -- &lt;em&gt;Rene
+ R.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li For building on Windows: Rework how arguments are parsed
+ and tested to fix handling of quoted arguments, options arguments, and arguments
+ with &amp;quot;=&amp;quot;. -- &lt;em&gt;Rene R.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Try to work around
+ at least one compiler bug with GCC and variable aliasing that causes crashes
+ with hashing file cache entries. -- &lt;em&gt;Rene R.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Add -Wc,-fno-strict-aliasing
+ for QCC/QNX to avoid the same aliasing crashes as in the general GCC 4.x series
+ (thanks to Niklas Angare for the fix). -- &lt;em&gt;Rene R.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li
+ On Windows let the child bjam commands inherit stdin, as some commands assume
+ it's available. -- &lt;em&gt;Rene R.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li On Windows don't limit
+ bjam output to ASCII as some tools output characters in extended character sets.
+ -- &lt;em&gt;Rene R.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Isolate running of bjam tests to individual
+ bjam instances to prevent possible spillover errors from one test affecting another
+ test. Separate the bjam used to run the tests vs. the bjam being tested. And
+ add automatic re-building of the bjam being tested. -- &lt;em&gt;Rene R.&lt;/em&gt;
+ ] [li Fix some possible overrun issues revealed by Fortify build. Thanks to Steven
+ Robbins for pointing out the issues. -- &lt;em&gt;Rene R.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Handle
+ \n and \r escape sequences. -- &lt;em&gt;Vladimir P.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Minor edits
+ to remove -Wall warnings. -- &lt;em&gt;Rene R.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Dynamically adjust
+ pwd buffer query size to allow for when PATH_MAX is default defined instead of
+ being provided by the system C library. -- &lt;em&gt;Rene R.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li
+ Minor perf improvement for bjam by replacing hash function with faster version.
+ Only 1% diff for Boost tree. -- &lt;em&gt;Rene R.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Updated Boost
+ Jam's error location reporting when parsing Jamfiles. Now it reports the correct
+ error location information when encountering an unexpected EOF. It now also reports
+ where an invalid lexical token being read started instead of finished which makes
+ it much easier to find errors like unclosed quotes or curly braces. -- &lt;em&gt;Jurko
+ G.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Removed the -xarch=generic architecture from build.jam as
+ this option is unknown so the Sun compilers on Linux. -- &lt;em&gt;Noel B.&lt;/em&gt;
+ ] [li Fixed a bug with T_FATE_ISTMP getting reported as T_FATE_ISTMP &amp;amp; T_FATE_NEEDTMP
+ at the same time due to a missing break in a switch statement. -- &lt;em&gt;Jurko
+ G.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Fixed a Boost Jam bug causing it to sometimes trigger actions
+ depending on targets that have not been built yet. -- &lt;em&gt;Jurko G.&lt;/em&gt;
+ ] [li Added missing documentation for Boost Jam's :T variable expansion modifier
+ which converts all back-slashes ('\') to forward slashed ('/'). -- &lt;em&gt;Jurko
+ G.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Added Boost Jam support for executing command lines longer
+ than 2047 characters (up to 8191) characters when running on Windows XP or later
+ OS version. -- &lt;em&gt;Jurko G.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Fixed a Boost Jam bug on Windows
+ causing its SHELL command not to work correctly with some commands containing
+ quotes. -- &lt;em&gt;Jurko G.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Corrected a potential memory leak
+ in Boost Jam's builtin_shell() function that would appear should Boost Jam ever
+ start to release its allocated string objects. -- &lt;em&gt;Jurko G.&lt;/em&gt;
+ ] [li Made all Boost Jam's ECHO commands automatically flush the standard output
+ to make that output more promptly displayed to the user. -- &lt;em&gt;Jurko G.&lt;/em&gt;
+ ] [li Made Boost Jam tests quote their bjam executable name when calling it allowing
+ those executables to contain spaces in their name and/or path. -- &lt;em&gt;Jurko
+ G.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Change execunix.c to always use fork() instead of vfork()
+ on the Mac. This works around known issues with bjam on PPC under Tiger and a
+ problem reported by Rene with bjam on x86 under Leopard. -- &lt;em&gt;Noel B.&lt;/em&gt;
+ ] [li Corrected a bug in Boost Jam's base Jambase script causing it to trim the
+ error message displayed when its boost-build rule gets called multiple times.
+ -- &lt;em&gt;Jurko G.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li When importing from Python into an module
+ with empty string as name, import into root module. -- &lt;em&gt;Vladimir P.&lt;/em&gt;
+ ] [li Patch for the NORMALIZE_PATH builtin Boost Jam rule as well as an appropriate
+ update for the path.jam Boost Build module where that rule was being used to
+ implement path join and related operations. -- &lt;em&gt;Jurko G.&lt;/em&gt;
+ ] [li Fixed a bug causing Boost Jam not to handle target file names specified
+ as both short and long file names correctly. -- &lt;em&gt;Jurko G.&lt;/em&gt;
+ ] [li Relaxed test, ignoring case of drive letter. -- &lt;em&gt;Roland S.&lt;/em&gt;
+ ] [li Implemented a patch contributed by Igor Nazarenko reimplementing the list_sort()
+ function to use a C qsort() function instead of a hand-crafted merge-sort algorithm.
+ Makes some list sortings (e.g. 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2, ...) extremely faster, in turn
+ significantly speeding up some project builds. -- &lt;em&gt;Jurko G.&lt;/em&gt;
+ ] [li Fixed a bug with bjam not handling the '' root Windows path correctly without
+ its drive letter being specified. -- &lt;em&gt;Jurko G.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Solved
+ the problem with child process returning the value 259 (Windows constant STILL_ACTIVE)
+ causing bjam never to detect that it exited and therefore keep running in an
+ endless loop. -- &lt;em&gt;Jurko G.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Solved the problem with
+ bjam going into an active wait state, hogging up processor resources, when waiting
+ for one of its child processes to terminate while not all of its available child
+ process slots are being used. -- &lt;em&gt;Jurko G.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Solved a
+ race condition between bjam's output reading/child process termination detection
+ and the child process's output generation/termination which could have caused
+ bjam not to collect the terminated process's final output. -- &lt;em&gt;Jurko
+ G.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Change from vfork to fork for executing actions on Darwin
+ to improve stability. -- &lt;em&gt;Noel B.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Code reformatting
+ and cleanups. -- &lt;em&gt;Jurko G.&lt;/em&gt; ] [li Implement ISFILE built-in.
+ -- &lt;em&gt;Vladimir P.&lt;/em&gt; ] ]
