GNU Smalltalk 2.3.4 released

Paolo Bonzini
GNU Smalltalk 2.3.4 has been released and is available for download at

   ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/smalltalk/smalltalk-2.3.4.tar.gz

This is a bug-fix release with few new features, including:

* Improvements to the ancillary scripts gst-load and gst-sunit.  In
particular, a package can describe the classes that constitute its
testsuite, and gst-sunit allows to quickly run the testsuite for a
package.

* Improvements to the test suite.  Several of the modules included with
GNU Smalltalk are tested, for improved coverage.

* Upgraded libsigsegv, for improved Mac OS X on Intel support

* zlib bindings provided in package ZLib.


Notable fixed bug include:

* Behavior>>#evaluate: and MethodDictionary>>#removeAt:ifAbsent: would
cause the method dictionary's size to double.  This caused sometimes
spurious failures in floatmath.st.

* Fixed bug in LargeInteger division on systems not equipped with GMP.

* Fixed bug in socket #nextHunk implementation, which lost the first
or second byte in the input buffer.

* Fixed paths in the image when "make DESTDIR" was used.

* Fixed implementation of Dictionary>>#addAll:

* Fixed Integer>>#binomial: when the argument is 0 or self.

* Fixed various minor bugs and imprecisions in the documentation.


Have fun!

Paolo
