slang version 1.4.7 available

["John E. Davis" <davis>]

[I have also posted the following text to alt.lang.s-lang]

Version 1.4.8 of the multi-platform slang programmer's library is now
available.  See http://www.jedsoft.org/slang/download.html for
downloading information.

This is primarily a bug-fix release.

Changes since 1.4.7
1. src/sldisply.c: make sure SLtt_erase_line leaves the cursor at the
   beginning of a line in all cases.  Previously, this happened only
   for terminals able to delete to the end of line _and_, when
   writing to the last line, the ability to insert a character.
2. doc/tm/cslang.tm: In the discussion of the MAKE_CSTRUCT_FIELD
   macro, SLANG_STRING_TYPE was used instead of SLANG_INT_TYPE
   (mnoble at space.mit.edu).  Similarly, in the discussion of intrinsic
   structures, My_Window was used instead of My_Win
   (dburke at head-cfa.cfa.harvard.edu).
3. src/slang.c: peephole optimizations of 1.4.7 were conflicting with __tmp
   optimizations.  This was causing something as simple as
   
       define f() 
       { 
          variable a = [1.0:10.0:1]; 
	  variable b = a * 0.0;
	  return a;
       }
   
    to fail.
4. src/slarray.c Allow ranges to index higher dimensional array.
5. slsh/slsh.c: Updated to allow a user specified search path.  See
   slsh/README for more info.
