dyncall

This release added a stable port for SPARC 32/64-bit and build support for Solaris/SunPro. Meta Assembly Format was introduced for call kernels with support for Microsoft, GNU, Apple, and Sun syntax.
Bugs with Win64/x64 (critical), CygWin/x86, AMD64 System-V, and Haiku were fixed. The API was updated for ellipsis calls and bugfixes for PowerPC. A new build system, zero-configure, and hybrid {BSD,GNU,SUN} makefiles were added. Build support was added for mingw32-w64 and MINIX. Experimental support for passing structs and invoke syscalls was added. There were many minor improvements for build systems and test suites.

This release includes new ports to iPhoneOS/ARM, Plan9/X86, and new calling conventions for MIPS (o32,n64). It adds support for the build tools CMake, Plan9's mk, pcc compiler, and cross-compilation via iPhoneSDK. It adds an error reporting facility to the library dyncall interface. The library dynload's image symbol enumeration support has been expanded with support for Win64 PE and Darwin Mach-O images, as well as support for self-referencing application host images. There is a major bugfix for ellipsis calls on PPC32/System V. There are new additions to and improvements in test suites, and updates to the documentation.

This release has support for more ARM platforms including new ABI 'ATPCS' and bugfixes and updates for Callbacks on x64/Windows, x64/Darwin, arm32/ARM, arm32/Thumb. A new stress test tool for callbacks was added to the test suite. Haiku/BeOS platform support was added along with universal binary build support on Darwin. The source code was updated.:'arm9' was renamed to 'arm32' and callback API related functions are prefixed now with 'dcb' instead of 'dc'. There were many small documentation updates (callbacks are still undocumented). The Ruby and R bindings were updated.

This release adds a callbacks framework: Scripting language functions are wrapped up in a single C pointer; no user data is needed. Ports: x86(Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) and x64 Linux. This is still alpha, with documentation missing and more ports to come with the next release. The signature notation has been updated: unsigned notation has been introduced (for bindings).
This version is the base for the upcoming R language binding 'rdyncall'.

Two new ports were added for ARM THUMB mode and
PowerPC 32-bit System V ABI. The System V port has
been tested on Linux, but the *BSDs are currently
untested. A bug was fixed for cygwin/GNU as a tool
chain. Additions and improvements were made in the
test suites. Minor cosmetic changes and
documentation updates were made.
