Applicance Tools

Languages

clisp

gcc

The gcc compiler suite has been updated to 4.4.0 including gcc, gcc-c++ , gcc-gfortran, gcc-gnat , and gcc-objc .

Some of the changes involve syntax changes which have the potential to break existing code.
Please review the NEWS files at http://gcc.gnu.org carefully before upgrading.

gcl

GNU Common Lisp

 Old Version: 2.6.7 -> New Version: 2.6.8

Project site: (http://www.gnu.org/software/gcl)

Editor's note
OK, this one is really confusing. The package was 2.6.7 in the original F10 yum database, but the current version is 2.6.8, dated well before the release of F10. The project site however lists the latest version as 2.6.7 and that from 2005. Further, there is bug work in rawhide (472780) that is dated well after F10 that seems to indicate that gcl is not currently in Fedora. I have an email to the person working the bug.

gforth

Fast and portable implementation of the ANS Forth language

Fedora 11 includes version 0.7.0 of gforth.

There are a large number of changes to gforth in this release. The developer is strongly encouraged to view the project site before proceeding.
