>Description:
Changes in lang/sml-nj since 110.9.1 to 110.38:
* Bug fixes, improvements to generated code, and miscellaneous
user-invisible tweaks too numerous to mention.
* Autoloaded libraries now load correctly, due to the new
`CM_PATHCONFIG' mechanism. Autoloading failed in the package's
previous version, despite the best effort of the do-install target.
How many people ever used this package, anyway?
* New commands `ml-build' and `ml-makedepend'. The former automates
the process of building standalone heap images, while the latter
generates dependencies for traditional makefiles.
* Major overhaul of the Compilation Manager (CM). For example, most
`sources.cm' files now require including `$/basis.cm', as well as
substituting `$/foo.cm' for `foo.cm' wherever `foo.cm' refers to an
autoloaded library bundled with the system (e.g. `smlnj-lib.cm').
For details, see http://www.smlnj.org/NEWS/110.20-README.html, and
the CM manual at
http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/what/smlnj/doc/CM/new.pdf .
* Reduced virtual memory consumption.
* Support for running under Mac OS X (Darwin). Such support is not
currently reflected in the pkgsrc, however, since I have no way to
test it.
* The package now installs into ${PREFIX}/lib/smlnj, instead of
${PREFIX}/lib/sml-nj, for consistency with the package name.
