Merge commit 2f57ecae4b

This is a new major release with a number of changes and extensions:

  static so that allocating more space for them cannot fail.

  and shift operators.
- Added greatest common divisor and least common multiple to lib2.bc.
- Made bc and dc UTF-8 capable.
- Added the ability for users to have bc and dc quit on SIGINT.
- Added the ability for users to disable prompt and TTY mode by
  environment variables.
- Added the ability for users to redefine keywords.
- Added dc's modular exponentiation and divmod to bc.
- Added the ability to assign strings to variables and array elements
  and pass them to functions in bc.
- Added dc's asciify command and stream printing to bc.
- Added bitwise and, or, xor, left shift, right shift, reverse,
  left rotate, right rotate, and mod functions to lib2.bc.
- Added the functions s2u(x) and s2un(x,n), to lib2.bc.

Release Checklist

This is the checklist for cutting a release.

For a lot of these steps, they are only needed if the code that would be affected was changed. For example, I don't need to run the scripts/randmath.py test if I did not change any of the math code.

  1. Update the README.
  2. Update the manuals.
  3. Test history manually.
  4. Test with POSIX test suite.
  5. Run the scripts/randmath.py script an excessive amount and add failing tests to test suite.
    • debug
    • release
    • minrelease
  6. Fuzz with AFL.
    • reldebug
  7. Fix AFL crashes.
  8. Find ASan crashes on AFL test cases.
  9. Fix ASan crashes.
  10. Build on Windows, no errors or warnings.
    • Debug/x64.
    • Debug/x86.
    • Release/x64.

  11. Run and pass the scripts/release.sh script on my own machine.
  12. Run and pass the scripts/release.sh script, without generated tests and sanitizers, on FreeBSD.
  13. Run and pass the scripts/release.sh script, without generated tests, sanitizers, and 64-bit, on an ARM server.
  14. Run and pass the release script, with no generated tests, no clang, no sanitizers, and no valgrind, on NetBSD.
  15. Run and pass the release script, with no generated tests, no sanitizers, and no valgrind, on OpenBSD.
  16. Run scan-build make.
  17. Repeat steps 3-16 again and repeat until nothing is found.
  18. Update the benchmarks.
  19. Update the version and NEWS.md and commit.
  20. Boot into Windows.
  21. Build all release versions of everything.
    • Release/x64 for bc.
    • Release/x64 for dc.
    • Release/x64 for bcl.
    • Release/x86 for bc.
    • Release/x86 for dc.
    • Release/x86 for bcl.
  22. Put the builds where Linux can access them.
  23. Boot back into Linux.
  24. Run make clean_tests.
  25. Run the scripts/package.sh script.
