newLISP® v.10.7.4 Development Release 2018-09-10

This development release fixes bugs and adds functionality.

Most bug fixes where done in development releases 10.7.2 and 10.7.3.

When using read-line on files together with other funtions like read, seek and search, file positions are now maintained better.
Better handling of UTF-16 encoded filenames on MS Windows. Filenames in newLISP UTF-8 versions should be given encoded in UTF-8 but will be correctly encoded to UTF-16 format on Windows. When reading from the Windows file system, they will be correctly translated to UTF-8.
Fixed a wrong "symbol protected" message when a protected symbol is part of a nested espression, but not a symbol with its content to be modified.
Fixed a flushing problem on print to stdout on macOS and other BSDs.
(trim str) on some strings containing 0's would overrun memory and 0's where not trimmed from the left. All characters less than space (32) should be trimmed from both ends of the string buffer. When the entire string is valid ASCII or UTF-8 with no 0s, trim behaves like in older versions.
(rotate theList -offsetOfRotation) did not return the correct original list when offsetOfRotation was equal to the length of the list to rotate.

New features where added in development releases 10.7.3 and 10.7.4.

Supress loading of startup file init.lsp when -h option is present. In older versions only the -n and -x options supressed init.lsp.
(read-key true) with the true parameter is now non-blocking.
When starting newlisp in -http-safe server mode HTTP_PUT and HTTP_DELETE requests will not be served. This will cause write-file and delete-file in url syntax and put-url and delete-url functions issued from a newLISP client to return the text message "Server in safe mode".
The environment variable REQUEST_URI is now defined when newLISP is run in webserver mode.

This version is compatible with the previous versions in the 10.7.x series.
