     6 
     7 2007-05-17  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
     8 
     9 	* tests/fCmd.test:	Backport the notNetworkFilesystem constraint.
    10 
    11 2007-05-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
    12 
    13 	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	Plugged memory leak related to 
    14 	[namespace delete ::]. [Bug 1716782]
    15 
    16 	* changes: updates for 8.4.15 release.
    17 
    18 	* win/tclWinReg.c:		Bump to registry 1.1.5 to account
    19 	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl:	for [1682211] bug fix.
    20 
    21 2007-05-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
    22 
    23 	* generic/tclInt.h:     TclFinalizeThreadAlloc() is always defined,
    24 	so make sure it is also always declared.
    25 
    26 	[Tcl Bug 1706140]
    27 
    28 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Trace*Proc):	Update Tcl_VarTraceProcs so
    29 	* generic/tclLink.c (LinkTraceProc):    that they call
    30 	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclPrecTraceProc): Tcl_InterpDeleted() for
    31 	themselves, and do not rely on (frequently buggy) setting of the
    32 	TCL_INTERP_DESTROYED flag by the trace core.
    33 
    34 	* generic/tclVar.c:     Update callers of CallVarTraces to not
    35 	pass in the TCL_INTERP_DESTROYED flag.  Also apply filters so that
    36 	public routines only pass documented flag values down to lower level
    37 	routines.
    38 
    39 	* generic/tclVar.c (CallVarTraces):        The setting of the
    40 	TCL_INTERP_DESTROYED flag is now done entirely within the
    41 	CallVarTraces routine, the only place it can be done right.
    42 
    43 2007-04-30  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
    44 
    45 	* unix/Makefile.in: add 'tclsh' dependency to install targets that rely
    46 	on tclsh, fixes parallel 'make install' from empty build dir.

    49 
    50 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: add workaround for crashing bug in fts_open()

    52 
    53 	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadMemory): fix (void*) arithmetic.
    54

    69 
    70 2007-04-21  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennyb@acm.org>
    71 
    72 	* generic/tclClock.c:	     Restored Cygwin buildability [Bug 1387154]
    73 	* generic/tclInt.decls:      Yet another round of attempting
    74 	* generic/tclInt.h:          to get the correct type signature
    75 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:        for TclpLocaltime and TclpGmtime.
    76 	* unix/tclUnixTime.c:        CONST TclpTime_t is a 'time_t *CONST'
    77 	* win/tclWinTime.c:          and not a 'CONST time_t*' [Bug 1677275]
    78 	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:     
    79 	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: Regenerated.
    80 	
    81 2007-03-24  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
    82 
    83 	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Thread exit handler marks the current 
    84 	thread as un-initialized. This allows exit handlers that
    85 	are registered later to re-initialize this subsystem in 
    86 	case they need to use some sync primitives (cond variables)
    87 	from this file again. 
    88 
    89 2007-03-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
    90 
    91 	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_CreateThread):	Replaced some calls to
    92 	* generic/tclPkg.c (CheckVersion):	Tcl_Alloc() with calls to
    93 	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (SetTZIfNecessary):	ckalloc(), which better
    94 	* win/tclAppInit.c (setargv):	supports memory debugging.
    95 
    96 2007-03-17  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
    97 	
    98 	* win/tclWinReg.c (GetKeyNames): Size the buffer for enumerating
    99 	key names correctly, so that Unicode names exceeding 127 chars
   100 	can be retrieved without crashing. [Bug 1682211]
   101 	* tests/registry.test (registry-4.9): Added test case for the
   102 	above bug.
   103 
   104 2007-03-13  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
   105 
   106 	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_FOREACH_STEP4):	Re-fetch pointers for
   107 	* tests/foreach.test (foreach-10.1):	the value list each iteration
   108 	of the loop as defense against shimmers.  [Bug 1671087]
   109 
   110 	* generic/tclVar.c (TclArraySet):	Re-fetch pointers for the list
   111 	* tests/var.test (var-17.1):	argument of [array set] each time
   112 	through the loop as defense against possible shimmer issues.
   113 	[Bug 1669489].
   114 
   115 2007-03-10  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

   119 	to shimmering. [Bug 1675116]
   120 
   121 2007-03-07  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
   122 
   123 	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: add spinlock debugging and sanity checks.
   124 
   125 	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): s/CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS/ in macosx-version-min check.
   126 	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
   127 
   128 2007-03-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
   129 
   130 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileForeachCmd): Prevent an unexpected
   131 	* tests/foreach.test (foreach-9.1):		infinite loop when the
   132 	variable list is empty and the foreach is compiled. [Bug 1671138]
   133 
   134 2007-02-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
   135 
   136 	* tests/pkg.test: Added tests for the case of an alpha package
   137 	  satisfying a require for the regular package, demonstrating a
   138 	  corner case specified in TIP#280. More notes in the comments to
   139 	  the test.
   140 
   141 2007-02-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
   142

   153 
   154 	* generic/tclEncoding.c (EscapeFromUtfProc): Applied patch
   155 	  supplied by Mo DeJong to fix [Bug 1516109]. Backport from Tcl
   156 	  8.5. Mo's description: Clear the TCL_ENCODING_END flag when end
   157 	  bytes are written. This fix keep this method from writing escape
   158 	  bytes for an encoding like iso2022-jp multiple times when the
   159 	  escape byte overlap with the end of the IO buffer.
   160 	* tests/io.test: Add test case for escape byte overlap case.
   161

   174 
   175 2007-01-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
   176 
   177 	* unix/tcl.m4:       integrate CPPFLAGS into CFLAGS as late as possible
   178 	* unix/configure.in: and move (rather than duplicate) -isysroot flags
   179 	from CFLAGS to CPPFLAGS to avoid errors about multiple -isysroot flags
   180 	from some older gcc builds.
   181 
   182 	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
   183 
   184 2007-01-22  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

   190 
   191 	* compat/memcmp.c (memcmp): Reworked so that arithmetic is never
   192 	performed upon void pointers, since that is illegal. [Bug 1631017]
   193 
   194 2006-01-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
   195 
   196 	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: accommodate changes to prototypes of
   197 	OSSpinLock(Un)Lock API.
   198 	
   199 	* tests/env.test: add extra system env vars that need to be preserved
   200 	on some Mac OS X versions for testsuite to work.
   201 
   202 	* unix/tcl.m4: ensure CPPFLAGS env var is used when set. [Bug 1586861]
   203 	(Darwin): add -isysroot and -mmacosx-version-min flags to CPPFLAGS when
   204 	present in CFLAGS to avoid discrepancies between what headers configure
   205 	sees during preprocessing tests and compiling tests.
   206 
   207 	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
   208 
   209 2006-12-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
   210 
   211 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpInetNtoa): fix for 64 bit.
   212 
   213 	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): --enable-64bit: verify linking with 64bit -arch
   214 	flag succeeds before enabling 64bit build.
   215 	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
   216 
   217 2006-12-14  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

   219 	* doc/string.n: Fix example. [Bug 1615277]
   220 
   221 2006-12-05  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
   222 
   223 	* tests/pkg.test:   Backport to 8.4 (Don Porter's work):
   224 	* generic/tclPkg.c: When no requirements are supplied to a [package
   225 	require $pkg] and [package unknown] is invoked to find a satisfying
   226 	package, pass the requirement argument "0-" (which means all versions
   227 	are acceptable). This permits a registered [package unknown] command
   228 	to call [package vsatisfies $testVersion {*}$args] without any special
   229 	handling of the empty $args case. This fixes/avoids a bug in
   230 	[::tcl::tm::UnknownHandler] that was causing old TM versions to be
   231 	provided in preference to newer TM versions. Thanks to Julian Noble
   232 	for discovering the issue.
   233 
   234 2006-12-04  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
   235 
   236 	* doc/file.n: Fix confusing wording for [file pathtype]. [Bug 1606454]
   237

   239 
   240 	* generic/tclBasic.c: TIP #280 implementation, conditional on the
   241 	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: define TCL_TIP280.
   242 	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
   243 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:

   261 
   262 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclUnixWaitForFile):
   263 	* tests/event.test (event-14.*): Corrected a bug where
   264 	TclUnixWaitForFile would present select() with the wrong mask on an
   265 	LP64 machine if a fd number exceeds 32. Thanks to Jean-Luc Fontaine
   266 	for reporting and diagnosing [Bug 1602208]
   267 	
   268 2006-11-26  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
   269

   271 	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13			[Bug 1230558]
   272 
   273 2006-11-07  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
   274 
   275 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (CopyFile): Added code to fall back to a
   276 	hardwired default block size should the filesystem report a bogus
   277 	value. [Bug 1586470]
   278 
   279 2006-11-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
   280

   283 
   284 	* generic/tclBasic.c (TEOVI):
   285 	* tests/trace.test (trace-21.11): fix for [Bug 1590232], execution
   286 	traces may cause a second command resolution in the wrong
   287 	namespace. 
   288 
   289 2006-11-01  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
   290 
   291 	* generic/tclEnv.c (Darwin): mark _environ symbol as unexported.

   378 	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_SplitList): optimisation, [Patch 1344747]
   379 	by dgp.
   380 
   381 2006-09-26  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
   382 
   383 	* win/makefile.vc:  Updated MSVC build to properly deal with
   384 	* win/nmakehlp.c:   MSVC8 and AMD64 target. Backport from 8.5
   385 	* win/rules.vc:
   386 	* generic/tcl.h:    Fixed stat definition for MSVC8 AMD64.
   387 	* win/tclWinSock.c: Casting type police.
   388 	* win/tclWinTime.c:
   389 
   390 2006-09-26  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
   391 
   392 	* generic/tcl.h:	As 2006-09-22 commit from Donal K. Fellows
   393 	demonstrates, "#define NULL 0" is just wrong, and as a quotable chat
   394 	figure observed, "If NULL isn't defined, we're not using a C compiler."
   395 	Improper fallback definition of NULL removed.
   396 
   397 2006-09-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
   398 
   399 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_StackChannel): Fixed [SF Tcl Bug 1564642], aka
   400 	coverity #51. Extended loop condition, added checking for NULL to
   401 	prevent seg.fault.
   402 
   403 2006-09-25  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
   404 
   405 	* generic/tclBasic.c: Reverted exposure of patchlevel in registered
   406 	core version when TIP#268 features are activated. Better compatibility
   407 	with existing packages. Like Tk.
   408 
   409 2006-09-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
   410 
   411 	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseCommand): also return an error if 
   412 	start==NULL and numBytes<0. This is coverity's bug #20
   413 
   414 	* generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_SIZE): fix allocation for 0-length
   415 	strings. This is coverity's bugs #54-5
   416 	
   417 2006-09-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
   418 
   419 	* generic/tclInt.h: Moved TIP#268's field 'packagePrefer' to the end
   420 	of the structure, for better backward compatibility.
   421 
   422 2006-09-22  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
   423 
   424 	* generic/tclPkg.c (Tcl_PkgRequireEx): Changes handling of the return
   425 	information from 'Tcl_PkgRequireProc'. Keep the interpreter result
   426 	empty. Backport of fix for problem found while testing #268 under 8.5.
   427 	More details in the comments.
   428 
   429 2006-09-22  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
   430 
   431 	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (TclCreateThread): Use NULL instead of 0 as
   432 	end-of-strings marker to Tcl_AppendResult; the difference matters on
   433 	64-bit machines. [Bug 1562528]
   434 
   435 2006-09-21  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
   436 
   437 	* generic/tcl.decls:  Implemented TIP #268, conditionally.

   451 2006-09-15  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
   452 
   453 	* library/http/http.tcl:      Change " " -> "+" url encoding mapping
   454 	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl:  to " " -> "%20" as per RFC 3986.
   455 	* tests/http.test (http-5.1): bump http to 2.5.3 for 8.4.14
   456 
   457 2006-09-12  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
   458 
   459 	* unix/configure.in (HAVE_MTSAFE_GETHOST*): Modified to recognize
   460 	HP-UX 11.00 and beyond as having mt-safe implementations of the
   461 	gethost functions.
   462 	* unix/configure: Regenerated, using autoconf 2.13
   463 
   464 	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c (PadBuffer): Fixed bug in calculation of the
   465 	increment needed to align the pointer, and added documentation
   466 	explaining why the macro is implemented as it is.
   467 
   468 2006-09-11  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
   469 
   470 	* tests/msgcat.test: Bumped version in auxiliary files as well.
   471 	* doc/msgcat.n: 
   472 
   473 2006-09-11  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
   474 
   475 	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: make compatLock static and only declare it
   476 	when it will actually be used; #ifdef parts of TSD that are not always
   477 	needed; adjust #ifdefs to cover all possible cases; fix whitespace.
   478 
   479 2006-09-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
   480 
   481 	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:	Bump to version msgcat 1.3.4 to account
   482 	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:	for modifications.
   483 
   484 2006-09-10  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
   485 
   486 	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl (msgcat::Init): on Darwin, add fallback of
   487 	* tests/msgcat.test:			    default msgcat locale to
   488 	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetVariables):    current CFLocale
   489 	identifier if available (via private ::tcl::mac::locale global, set at
   490 	interp init when on Mac OS X 10.3 or later with CoreFoundation).
   491 
   492 	* unix/tcl.m4: add caching to new SC_TCL_* macros for MT-safe wrappers
   493 	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
   494 
   495 2006-09-08  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
   496 
   497 	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: Fixed conditions for CopyArray/CopyString, and
   498 	CopyHostent. Also fixed bad var names in TclpGetHostByName.
   499 
   500 2006-09-08  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
   501 
   502 	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: Added fallback to gethostbyname() and
   503 	gethostbyaddr() if the implementation is known to be MT-safe
   504 	(currently for Darwin 6 or later only).
   505 
   506 	* unix/configure.in: Assume gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr() are
   507 	MT-safe starting with Darwin 6 (Mac OSX 10.2).
   508 
   509 	* unix/configure: Regenerated with autoconf V2.13
   510 
   511 2006-09-07  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
   512 
   513 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: Removed some false tests added (and left by
   514 	mistake) by fixing [Bug 999544]
   515 
   516 	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: Added fallback to MT-unsafe library calls if
   517 	TCL_THREADS is not defined. Fixed alignment of arrays copied by
   518 	CopyArrayi() to be on the sizeof(char *) boundary.
   519 
   520 2006-09-07  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
   521 
   522 	* unix/configure: Regenerated using autoconf 2.13.
   523 
   524 2006-09-07  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
   525 
   526 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c   Rewritten MT-safe wrappers to
   527 	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c return ptrs to TSD storage
   528 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c   making them all look like their
   529 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h   MT-unsafe pendants API-wise.
   530 	* unix/tclUnixSock.c   
   531 
   532 2006-09-06  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
   533 
   534 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: Added TCL_THREADS ifdef'ed  usage
   535 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: of MT-safe calls like:
   536 	* unix/tclUnixSock.c: getpwuid, getpwnam, getgrgid, getgrnam,
   537 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr.
   538 	* unix/Makefile.in:   See Tcl Bug: 999544
   539 	* unix/configure.in:
   540 	* unix/tcl.m4:
   541 	* unix/configure: Regenerated.
   542 
   543 	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: New file containing MT-safe implementation of
   544 	some library calls.
   545 
   546 2006-09-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
   547 
   548 	* tests/main.text (Tcl_Main-4.4):	Test corrected to not be
   549 	timing sensitive to the Bug 1481986 fix. [Bug 1550858]
   550 
   551 2006-09-04  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
   552 
   553 	* doc/package.n: correct package example
   554 
   555 2006-08-30  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
   556 
   557 	* win/tclWinChan.c: [Bug 819667] Improve logic for identifying COM
   558 	ports.
   559 
   560 	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:    [Bug 1548263] Added test for NULL return
   561 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: from Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath which was
   562 	causing segv's
   563 
   564 	* generic/tclFileName.c (TclDoGlob): match incr with existing decr.
   565 
   566 	* unix/Makefile.in: add valgrindshell target and update default
   567 	VALGRINDARGS. User can override, or add to it with VALGRIND_OPTS env
   568 	var.
   569 
   570 	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): init iPtr->threadId
   571 
   572 	* generic/tclIOGT.c (ExecuteCallback): 
   573 	* generic/tclPkg.c (Tcl_PkgRequireEx): replace Tcl_GlobalEval(Obj)
   574 	with more efficient Tcl_Eval(Obj)Ex
   575 
   576 2006-08-22  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
   577 
   578 	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): Fixed broken if syntax
   579 	committed 2006-08-21 by Daniel. The broken syntax is visible to all
   580 	unix platforms, but not on OSX for machines which HAVE_COREFOUNDATION.
   581 
   582 2006-08-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
   583 
   584 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:	Revisions to complete the thread finalization
   585 	of the cwdPathPtr. [Bug 1536142]
   586 
   587 2006-08-21  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
   588 
   589 	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): if the run loop is
   590 	already running (e.g. if Tcl_WaitForEvent was called recursively),
   591 	re-run it in a custom run loop mode containing only the source for the
   592 	notifier thread, otherwise wakeups from other sources added to the
   593 	common run loop modes might get lost; sync panic msg changes from
   594 	HEAD.
   595 
   596 	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): on 64-bit Darwin,
   597 	pthread_cond_timedwait() appears to have a bug that causes it to wait
   598 	forever when passed an absolute time which has already been exceeded
   599 	by the system time; as a workaround, when given a very brief timeout,
   600 	just do a poll on that platform. [Bug 1457797]
   601 
   602 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h (Darwin): override potentially faulty configure
   603 	detection of termios availability in all cases, since termios is known
   604 	to be present on all Mac OS X releases since 10.0. [Bug 497147]
   605 
   606 2006-08-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
   607 
   608 	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add support for --enable-64bit on x86_64, for
   609 	universal builds including x86_64, for 64-bit CoreFoundation on
   610 	Leopard and for use of -mmacosx-version-min instead of
   611 	MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET.
   612 	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
   613 
   614 	* generic/tcl.h:      add fixes for building on Leopard and support
   615 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: for 64-bit CoreFoundation on Leopard.
   616 
   617 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: on Darwin x86_64, disable use of vfork as it
   618 	causes execve to fail intermittently. (rdar://4685553)
   619 	
   620 	* macosx/README: updates for x86_64 support and Xcode 2.4.
   621 
   622 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclUnixWaitForFile): with timeout < 0, if
   623 	select() returns early (e.g. due to a signal), call it again instead
   624 	of returning a timeout result. Fixes intermittent event-13.8 failures.
   625 
   626 2006-08-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
   627 
   628 	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	Replace buffer copy in for loop with
   629 	call to memcpy(). Thanks to afredd. [Patch 1530262]
   630 
   631 2006-08-03  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
   632 
   633 	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): for USE_VFORK: ensure
   634 	standard channels are initialized before vfork() so that the child
   635 	doesn't potentially corrupt global state in the parent's address
   636 	space.
   637 
   638 2006-07-30  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
   639 
   640 	* tests/clock.test: Allowed UTC as a synonym for GMT in two tests that
   641 	indirectly invoke 'strftime' with the result of 'gmtime' to fix a
   642 	bogus test failure on FreeBSD systems. [Bug 1513489]
   643 	
   644 2006-07-30  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
   645 
   646 	* doc/AppInit.3: Fix typo [Bug 1496886]
   647 
   648 2006-07-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
   649 
   650 	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier, Tcl_WaitForEvent):
   651 	create notifier thread lazily upon first call to Tcl_WaitForEvent()
   652 	rather than in Tcl_InitNotifier(). Allows calling exeve() in processes
   653 	where the event loop has not yet been run (Darwin's execve() fails in
   654 	processes with more than one thread), in particular allows embedders
   655 	to call fork() followed by execve(), previously the pthread_atfork()
   656 	child handler's call to Tcl_InitNotifier() would immediately recreate
   657 	the notifier thread in the child after a fork.
   658 
   659 	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier):	   add support for
   660 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, CopyFileAtts): weakly importing
   661 	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings):	   symbols not
   662 	available on OSX 10.2 or 10.3, enables binaires built on later OSX
   663 	versions to run on earlier ones.
   664 	* macosx/README: document how to enable weak-linking; cleanup.
   665 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: add support for weak-linking; conditionalize
   666 	AvailabilityMacros.h inclusion; only disable realpath on 10.2 or
   667 	earlier when threads are enabled.
   668 	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadMemoryGetBuffer): change runtime Darwin
   669 	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform):	release check to use
   670 						       global initialized once
   671 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, TclpObjNormalizePath): add runtime
   672 	Darwin release check to determine if realpath is threadsafe.
   673 	* unix/configure.in: add check on Darwin for compiler support of weak
   674 	* unix/tcl.m4:	     import and for AvailabilityMacros.h header; move
   675 	Darwin specific checks & defines that are only relevant to the tcl
   676 	build out of tcl.m4; restrict framework option to Darwin; cleanup
   677 	quoting.
   678 	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
   679 
   680 	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadMemory):
   681 	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): fix signed-with-unsigned
   682 	comparison and other warnings from gcc4 -Wextra.
   683 
   684 2006-07-13  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
   685 
   686 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: Added the inclusion of <AvailabilityMacros.h>.
   687 	The missing header caused the upcoming #if conditions to wrongly
   688 	exclude realpath, causing file normalize to ignore symbolic links in
   689 	the path.
   690 
   691 2006-07-11  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
   692 
   693 	* generic/tclAsync.c: Made Tcl_AsyncDelete() more tolerant when called
   694 	after all thread TSD has been garbage-collected.
   695 
   696 2006-07-10  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
   697 
   698 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CreateChannel): allow Tcl std channel
   699 	inheritance to be #defined out (default remains in).
   700 
   701 2006-06-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
   702 
   703 	* changes:		changes to start prep for an 8.4.14 release.
   704 
   705 2006-06-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
   706 
   707 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h (Darwin): support for MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED
   708 	define from AvailabilityMacros.h: override configure detection and only
   709 	use API available in the indicated OS version or earlier.
   710 
   711 2006-06-14  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
   712 
   713 	* generic/regerror.c:	Enable building Tcl with Microsoft's latest
   714 	* generic/tcl.h:	compiler offering (VS2005). We have to handle
   715 	* generic/tclDate.c:	a number of oddities as they have deprecated
   716 	* tests/env.test:	most of the standard C library and now
   717 	* win/makefile.vc:	generate manifest files to be linked into the
   718 	* win/nmakehlp.c:	binaries. [Bug 1424909]
   719 	* win/rules.vc:		
   720 	* win/tclWinTime.c:

   722 2006-06-13  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
   723 
   724 	* unix/tclLoadDl.c (TclpDlopen): Workaround for a compiler bug in Sun
   725 	Forte 6. [Bug 1503729]
   726 
   727 2006-06-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
   728 
   729 	* doc/GetStdChan.3:	Added recommendation that each call to
   730 	Tcl_SetStdChannel() be accompanied by a call to Tcl_RegisterChannel().
   731 
   732 2006-05-31  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
   733 
   734 	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceInscopeCmd): revert [Bug 1400572]
   735 	fix of 2006-01-09 for [namespace inscope] as it seems to mess with
   736 	itcl scope decoding. Leaving namespace-29.6 test failure until final
   737 	cause it determined.
   738 
   739 2006-05-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
   740 
   741 	* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_DecrRefCount): use if/else construct to allow
   742 	placement in unbraced outer if/else conditions. (jcw)
   743 
   744 2006-05-27  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
   745 
   746 	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: implemented pthread_atfork() handler that
   747 	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin):	    recreates CoreFoundation state and notifier
   748 	thread in the child after a fork(). Note that pthread_atfork() is
   749 	available starting with Tiger only. Because vfork() is used by the core
   750 	on Darwin, [exec]/[open] are not affected by this fix, only extensions
   751 	or embedders that call fork() directly (such as TclX). However, this
   752 	only makes fork() safe from corefoundation tcl with --disable-threads;
   753 	as on all platforms, forked children may deadlock in threaded tcl due
   754 	to the potential for stale locked mutexes in the child. [Patch 923072]
   755 	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59

   757 2006-05-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
   758 
   759 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_SYSTEM): Fixed quoting of command script to
   760 	awk; it was a rarely used branch, but it was wrong. [Bug 1494160]
   761 
   762 2006-05-13  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
   763 
   764 	* generic/tclFileName.c (TclDoGlob):	Disabled the partial
   765 	normalization done by the recursive glob routine, since changing the
   766 	precise string of the pathname broke [glob] on some Tcl_Filesystems.
   767 	[Bug 943995]
   768 
   769 	* generic/tclProc.c (ProcCompileProc):	When a bump of the compile
   770 	epoch forces the re-compile of a proc body, take care not to
   771 	overwrite any Proc struct that may be referred to on the active
   772 	call stack. This fixes [Bug 1482718]. Note that the fix will not be
   773 	effective for code that calls the private routine TclProcCompileProc()
   774 	directly.
   775 
   776 2006-05-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
   777 
   778 	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main):		Corrected flaw that required
   779 	* tests/main.test: (Tcl_Main-4.5):	processing of one interactive
   780 	command before passing control to the loop routine registered with
   781 	Tcl_SetMainLoop() [Bug 1481986]

   805 2006-04-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
   806 
   807 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	Stop some interference between enter traces
   808 	* tests/trace.test:	and enterstep traces. [Bug 1458266]

   814 2006-04-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
   815 
   816 	* generic/tclRegexp.c (FinalizeRegexp): full reset data to indicate
   817 	readiness for reinitialization.
   818 
   819 2006-04-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
   820 
   821 	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):	It seems there
   822 	* tests/indexObj.test:	are extensions that rely on the prior behavior
   823 	* doc/GetIndex.3:	that the empty string cannot succeed as a
   824 	unique prefix matcher, so I'm restoring Donal Fellows's solution.
   825 	Added mention of this detail to the documentation. [Bug 1464039]
   826 
   827 2006-04-06  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
   828 
   829 	* unix/tcl.m4: removed TCL_IO_TRACK_OS_FOR_DRIVER_WITH_BAD_BLOCKING
   830 	define on Darwin. [Bug 1457515]
   831 	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
   832 
   833 2006-04-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
   834 
   835 	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl:	Long overlooked bump to registry
   836 	* win/tclWinReg.c:		package version 1.1.4 (should have
   837 	been done for the Tcl 8.4.8 release!)
   838 
   839 	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:	Long overlooked bump to dde package
   840 	* win/tclWinDde.c:		version 1.2.4 (should have been done
   841 	for the Tcl 8.4.8 release!)
   842 
   843 2006-04-05  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
   844 
   845 	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): Allow empty
   846 	strings to be matched by the Tcl_GetIndexFromObj machinery, in the
   847 	same manner as any other key. [Bug 1464039]
   848 
   849 2006-04-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
   850 
   851 	* generic/tclPkg.c:	Revised Bug 1162286 fix from 2005-11-08 to be
   852 	* tests/pkg.test:	even more forgiving of package version
   853 	mismatch errors in [package ifneeded] commands, not even logging any
   854 	warning messages. This further reduces the
   855 	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** noted for that change.
   856 
   857 2006-04-03  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
   858 
   859 	* generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Added check, panic and commentary to a
   860 	piece of code which relies on BUFFER_PADDING to create enough space at
   861 	the beginning of each buffer for the insertion of partial multibyte
   862 	data at the beginning of a buffer. Commentary explains why this code
   863 	is OK, and the panic is as a precaution if someone twiddled the
   864 	BUFFER_PADDING into uselessness.
   865 
   866 	* generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Temporarily suppress the use of
   867 	TCL_ENCODING_END set when EOF was reached while the buffer we are
   868 	converting is not truly the last buffer in the queue. Together with
   869 	the Utf bug below it was possible to completely wreck the buffer data
   870 	structures, eventually crashing Tcl. [Bug 1462248]
   871 
   872 	* generic/tclEncoding.c (UtfToUtfProc): Stop accessing memory beyond
   873 	the end of the input buffer when TCL_ENCODING_END is set and the last
   874 	bytes of the buffer start a multi-byte sequence. This bug contributed
   875 	to [Bug 1462248].
   876 
   877 2006-03-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
   878 
   879 	* win/configure, win/tcl.m4: define MACHINE for gcc builds as well.
   880 	Needed by Tk for manifest generation.
   881 
   882 	* win/tclWinConsole.c: revert 2005-11-03 [Patch 1256872] change to add
   883 	win32 unicode console support as it broke the ability to modify the
   884 	encoding to the console.
   885 
   886 2006-03-28  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
   887 
   888 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TclpObjNormalizePath): deal with *BSD/Darwin
   889 	realpath() converting relative paths into absolute paths. [Bug 1064247]
   890 
   891 2006-03-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
   892 
   893 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to nativeFilesystemRecord comparisons
   894 	(lesser part of [Bug 1064247])
   895 
   896 2006-03-27  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
   897 
   898 	* win/tclWinTest.c:	Fixes for [Bug 1456373] (mingw-gcc issue) 
   899 
   900 2006-03-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
   901 
   902 	* tests/expr.test:	Nan self-inquality test silenced. [Bug 761471]
   903 
   904 2006-03-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

   913 	* tests/fCmd.test:
   914 	* tests/winFCmd.test:

   916 	from HEAD. [Bug 1193497]
   917 
   918 2006-03-16  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
   919 
   920 	* doc/open.n: Documented the changed behaviour of 'a'ppend mode.
   921 	
   922 	* tests/io.test (io-43.1 io-44.[1234]): Rewritten to be
   923 	self-contained with regard to setup and cleanup. [Bug 681793]
   924 
   925 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclGetOpenMode): Added the flag O_APPEND to the
   926 	list of POSIX modes used when opening a file for 'a'ppend. This
   927 	enables the proper automatic seek-to-end-on-write by the OS. See [Bug
   928 	680143] for longer discussion.
   929 
   930 	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-13.7.*): Extended the testsuite to check the
   931 	new handling of 'a'.
   932 
   933 2006-03-15  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
   934 
   935 	* tests/socket.test: Extended the timeout in socket-11.11 from 10 to
   936 	40 seconds to allow for really slow machines. Also extended
   937 	actual/expected results with value of variable 'done' to make it
   938 	clearer when a test fails due to a timeout. [Bug 792159]
   939 
   940 2006-03-14  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
   941 
   942 	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): Modified the processing of
   943 	pipebars to fail if the last bar is followed only by redirections.
   944 	[Bug 768659]
   945 
   946 2006-03-14  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
   947 
   948 	* doc/fconfigure.n: Clarified that -translation is binary is reported
   949 	as lf when queried, because it is identical to lf, except for the
   950 	special additional behaviour when setting it. [Bug 666770]
   951 
   952 2006-03-14  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
   953 
   954 	* win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid): Backport of fix made to the head by
   955 	David Gravereaux in 2004. See ChangeLog entry 2004-01-19. [Bug 1381436]
   956 
   957 	Fixed a thread-safety problem with the process list. The delayed cut
   958 	operation after the wait was going stale by being outside the list
   959 	lock. It now cuts within the lock and does a locked splice for when it
   960 	needs to instead. [Bug 859820]
   961 
   962 2006-03-13  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
   963 
   964 	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	Report error when an escape encoding
   965 	is missing one of its sub-encodings [Bug 506653]
   966 
   967 	* unix/configure.in:	Revert change from 2005-07-26 that sometimes
   968 	* unix/configure:	added $prefix/share to the tcl_pkgPath.
   969 	See [Patch 1231015]. autoconf-2.13.

   971 2006-03-10  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
   972 
   973 	-- Summary of changes fixing [Bug 1437595] --
   974 
   975 	* generic/tclEvent.c: Cosmetic touches and identation
   976 	* generic/tclInt.h: Added TclpFinalizeSockets() call.
   977 
   978 	* generic/tclIO.c: Calls TclpFinalizeSockets() as part of the
   979 	TclFinalizeIOSubsystem().
   980 
   981 	* unix/tclUnixSock: Added no-op TclpFinalizeSockets().
   982 	
   983 	* mac/tclMacSock.c:
   984 	* win/tclWinPipe.c
   985 	* win/tclWinSock.c: Finalization of the sockets/pipes is now solely
   986 	done in TclpFinalizeSockets() and TclpFinalizePipes() and not over the
   987 	thread-exit handler, because the order of actions the Tcl generic core
   988 	will impose may result in cores/hangs if the thread exit handler tears
   989 	down corresponding subsystem(s) too early.
   990 
   991 2006-03-10  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
   992 
   993 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: 
   994 	* win/tclWinInt.h: 
   995 	* win/tclWinFile.c: backported some fixes from HEAD relating to 'file
   996 	readable' and 'file writable', but main 'file writable' bug still
   997 	outstanding.
   998

  1015 	* tests/parse.test:	simplify TclEvalObjvInternal and to correct
  1016 	the auto-loading of alias targets (parse-8.12).	[Bug 1444291]
  1017 
  1018 2006-03-02  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  1019 
  1020 	* win/Makefile.in: convert _NATIVE paths to use / to avoid ".\"

  1022 
  1023 	* unix/tcl.m4, win/tcl.m4: []-quote ac_defun functions.
  1024 
  1025 2006-03-02  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
  1026 
  1027 	* unix/tcl.m4:	  Fix for [Tk Bug 1334613] to sort out shared library

  1029 
  1030 2006-02-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  1031 
  1032 	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Corrections to be sure that TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL
  1033 	* tests/parse.test:	evaluations act the same as [uplevel #0]
  1034 	* tests/trace.test:	evaluations, even when execution traces or
  1035 	invocations of [::unknown] are present. [Bug 1439836]
  1036 
  1037 2006-02-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  1038 
  1039 	* generic/tclIndexObj.c:	Disallow the "ambiguous" error message
  1040 	* tests/indexObj.test:		when TCL_EXACT matching is requested.
  1041 
  1042 2006-02-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  1043 
  1044 	* generic/tclIO.c:	Made several routines tolerant of
  1045 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:	interp == NULL arguments. [Bug 1380662]
  1046 
  1047 2006-02-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  1048 
  1049 	* tests/main.test (Tcl_Main-6.7):	Improved robustness of command
  1050 	auto-completion test. [Bug 1422736]
  1051 
  1052 2006-01-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
  1053 
  1054 	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): Improved conditions on when
  1055 	to update the FP rounding mode on FreeBSD, taken from FreeBSD port.
  1056 
  1057 2006-01-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
  1058 
  1059 	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_GetRange): 
  1060 	* tests/stringTest (string-12.21):fixed incorrect handling of internal
  1061 	rep in Tcl_GetRange. Thanks to twylite and Peter Spjuth. [Bug 1410553]
  1062 
  1063 2006-01-16  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
  1064 
  1065 	* generic/tclPipe.c (FileForRedirect): Prevent nameString from being
  1066 	freed without having been initialized.
  1067 	* tests/exec.test: Added a test for the above.
  1068 	
  1069 2006-01-12  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
  1070 
  1071 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSGetInternalRep): fixed potential
  1072 	overwriting of already freed memory which caused all kinds of (rare
  1073 	but reproducible) coredumps all over the place.
  1074 
  1075 2006-01-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  1076 
  1077 	* tests/error.test (error-7.0):	Test the timing of write traces on
  1078 	::errorInfo. [Bug 1397843]
  1079 
  1080 2006-01-10  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  1081 
  1082 	* unix/configure:    add caching, use AC_CACHE_CHECK instead of
  1083 	* unix/configure.in: AC_CACHE_VAL where possible, consistent message
  1084 	* unix/tcl.m4:	     quoting, sync relevant tclconfig/tcl.m4 and HEAD
  1085 	changes and gratuitous formatting differences, fix SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES

  1094 2005-12-20  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
  1095 
  1096 	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (Tcl_GetMemoryInfo): Format values as longs
  1097 	and not ints, so they are less likely to wrap on 64-bit machines.
  1098 
  1099 2005-12-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
  1100 
  1101 	* doc/Tcl.n: Clarify what is going on in variable substitution
  1102 	following thread on comp.lang.tcl.
  1103 
  1104 2005-12-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  1105 
  1106 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: workaround gcc warning "comparison is always
  1107 	* generic/tclTest.c:   false due to limited range of data type".
  1108 
  1109 	* unix/configure.in: run check for fts API on all platforms, since
  1110 	Linux glibc2 and *BSDs also have this and using fts is more efficient
  1111 	than recursive opendir/readdir (sync with HEAD).
  1112 	* unix/configure: regen.
  1113 
  1114 2005-12-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  1115 
  1116 	* unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: Fix sh quoting error reported in
  1117 	bash-3.1+ [Bug 1377619] (schafer)
  1118 
  1119 2005-12-12  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
  1120 
  1121 	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprAbsFunc): fixed the abs(MIN_INT) case so
  1122 	that it doesn't break on compilers that don't assume integers to wrap
  1123 	around (e.g. gcc-4.1.0).

  1158 2005-12-01  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  1159 
  1160 	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): fixed error when MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET unset
  1161 	* unix/configure: regen.
  1162 
  1163 2005-11-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  1164 
  1165 	* win/tcl.m4:	   Add build support for Windows-x64 builds.
  1166 	* win/configure:   --enable-64bit now accepts =amd64|ia64 for
  1167 	* win/Makefile.in: Windows 64-bit build variants (default: amd64)
  1168 	* win/makefile.vc: [Bug 1369597]

  1171 
  1172 	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetWideIntFromObj): Add more efficient
  1173 	conversion to wides from normal ints. [Bug 1310081]
  1174 
  1175 	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): Allow [lsearch -regexp] to
  1176 	process REs that contain backreferences. This expensive mode of
  1177 	operation is only used if the RE would otherwise cause a compilation
  1178 	failure. [Bug 1366683]
  1179 
  1180 2005-11-28  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
  1181 
  1182 	* win/tclWinSock.c (CreateSocket): Applied [Patch 1353853] to prevent
  1183 	reads of uninitialized variables during cleanup.
  1184 
  1185 2005-11-27  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  1186 
  1187 	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add 64bit support, check for Tiger copyfile(),
  1188 	add CFLAGS to SHLIB_LD to support passing -isysroot in env(CFLAGS) to
  1189 	configure (flag can't be present twice, so can't be in both CFLAGS and
  1190 	LDFLAGS during configure), don't use -prebind when deploying on 10.4,
  1191 	define TCL_IO_TRACK_OS_FOR_DRIVER_WITH_BAD_BLOCKING (rdar://3171542).
  1192 	(SC_ENABLE_LANGINFO, SC_TIME_HANDLER): add/fix caching, fix obsolete
  1193 	autoconf macros. Sync with tk/unix/tcl.m4, sync whitespace with HEAD.
  1194 
  1195 	* unix/configure.in: fix obsolete autoconf macros, sync gratuitous
  1196 	formatting/ordering differences with tk/unix/configure.in.
  1197 
  1198 	* unix/Makefile.in: add CFLAGS to tclsh/tcltest link to make
  1199 	executable linking the same as during configure (needed to avoid
  1200 	loosing any linker relevant flags in CFLAGS, in particular flags that
  1201 	can't be in LDFLAGS). Avoid concurrent linking of tclsh and compiling
  1202 	of tclTestInit.o or xtTestInit.o during parallel make.
  1203 	(checkstubs, checkdoc, checkexports): dependency and Darwin fixes
  1204 
  1205 	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpDlopen): [Bug 1204237] use
  1206 	NSADDIMAGE_OPTION_WITH_SEARCHING on second NSAddImage only.
  1207 	(TclGuessPackageName): should not be MODULE_SCOPE.
  1208 	(TclpLoadMemory): ppc64 and endian (i386) fixes, add support for
  1209 	loading universal (fat) bundles from memory.
  1210 
  1211 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
  1212 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: add support for new Tiger copyfile() API to
  1213 	enable copying of xattrs & ACLs by [file copy].
  1214 
  1215 	* generic/tcl.h: add Darwin specifc configure overrides for TCL_WIDE
  1216 	defines to support fat compiles of ppc and ppc64 at the same time,
  1217 	(replaces Darwin CVS fix by emoy, rdar://3693001).
  1218 	add/correct location of version numbers in macosx files.
  1219 
  1220 	* generic/tclInt.h: clarify fat compile comment.
  1221 
  1222 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: add Darwin specifc configure overrides to
  1223 	support fat compiles, where configure runs only once for multiple
  1224 	architectures (replaces Darwin CVS fix by emoy, rdar://3693001).
  1225 
  1226 	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:
  1227 	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c:
  1228 	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: fix #include order to support compile time
  1229 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:  override of HAVE_COREFOUNDATION in
  1230 	tclUnixPort.h when building for ppc64
  1231 
  1232 	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/default.pbxuser (new file):
  1233 	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser:
  1234 	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: sync with HEAD.
  1235 
  1236 	* macosx/README: clarification/cleanup, sync with HEAD, document
  1237 	universal (fat) builds via CFLAGS (i.e. all of ppc ppc64 i386 at once).
  1238 
  1239 	* macosx/Makefile: add support for reusing configure cache, build
  1240 	target fixes, remove GENERIC_FLAGS override now handled by tcl.m4.
  1241 
  1242 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
  1243 	* generic/tclRegexp.c:
  1244 	* generic/tclVar.c: declare globals used only in own file as static
  1245 	(sync with HEAD).
  1246

  1251 	silence gcc 4 warnings.
  1252 
  1253 	* generic/regguts.h: only #define NDEBUG if not already #defined.
  1254 
  1255 	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: sync whitespace & comments with HEAD
  1256 
  1257 	* unix/configure: regen.
  1258 
  1259 2005-11-20  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
  1260 
  1261 	* generic/tclStubLib.c: Don't set tclStubsPtr to 0 when
  1262 	Tcl_PkgRequireEx() fails [Fix for [Bug 1091431] "Tcl_InitStubs failure
  1263 	crashes wish"]
  1264 
  1265 2005-11-18  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  1266 
  1267 	* tests/trace.test (trace-34.5): [Bug 1047286], added a second test
  1268 	illustrating the role of "ns in callStack" in the ns's visibility
  1269 	during deletion traces.
  1270 
  1271 	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken):
  1272 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceCommandProc):
  1273 	* generic/tclInt.h (NS_KILLED):
  1274 	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_DeleteNamespace
  1275 	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-7.3-6):
  1276 	* tests/trace.test (trace-20.13-16): fix [Bugs 1355942/1355342].
  1277 
  1278 2005-11-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  1279 
  1280 	* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): preserve statePtr until we
  1281 	netrieve next statePtr from it.
  1282 
  1283 2005-11-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  1284 
  1285 	* generic/tclPkg.c:	Revised Bug 1162286 fix from 2005-11-08 to be
  1286 	* tests/pkg.test:	more forgiving of package version mismatch
  1287 	errors in [package ifneeded] commands. This reduces the
  1288 	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** noted for that change.
  1289 
  1290 2005-11-18  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
  1291 
  1292 	* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): Applied Pat Thoyts' patch
  1293 	for [Bug 1359094]. This moves the retrieval of the next channel state
  1294 	to the end of the loop, as the called closeproc may close other
  1295 	channels, i.e., modify the list we are iterating, invalidating any
  1296 	pointer retrieved earlier.
  1297 
  1298 2005-11-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
  1299 
  1300 	* library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): Improved syntactic validation
  1301 	of URLs, and better error messages in some cases. [Bug 1358369]
  1302 
  1303 2005-11-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  1304 
  1305 	* README:		Bump version number to 8.4.12
  1306 	* generic/tcl.h:
  1307 	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
  1308 	* unix/configure.in:
  1309 	* unix/tcl.spec:
  1310 	* win/README.binary:
  1311 	* win/configure.in:

  1317 
  1318 	* changes:		Update changes for 8.4.12 release
  1319 
  1320 2005-11-15  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  1321 
  1322 	* tests/cmdAH.test: Backported the fix for [Bug 926016] because of
  1323 	* win/tclWinFile.c: a repeated bug report in 8.4 [Bug 1353840].
  1324 	Windows [file mtime] will now return seconds from the Posix epoch
  1325 	correctly (except for FAT32 file systems after a DST change without a
  1326 	reboot - for which there is no help). A side effect is that file times
  1327 	will appear different in Tcl from the way they do in Windows Explorer
  1328 	or a 'dir' listing, because the Microsoft tools get the DST state
  1329 	wrong in the listings.
  1330 
  1331 2005-11-09  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  1332 
  1333 	* generic/tclTimer.c: Changed [after] so that it behaves correctly
  1334 	* tests/timer.test:   with negative arguments. [Bug 1350293]
  1335 
  1336 2005-11-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  1337 
  1338 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (MAX_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): reduce to 130
  1339 	based on errors seen on OS X 10.3 with lots of links in a dir. [Bug
  1340 	1034337 followup]
  1341 
  1342 2005-11-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  1343 
  1344 	* tests/expr.test:	Portable tests expr-46.13-18 [Bug 1341368]
  1345 
  1346 	* generic/tclPkg.c:	Corrected inconsistencies in the value returned
  1347 	* tests/pkg.test:	by Tcl_PkgRequire(Ex) so that the returned
  1348 	values will always agree with what is stored in the package database.
  1349 	This way repeated calls to Tcl_PkgRequire(Ex) have the same results.
  1350 	Thanks to Hemang Lavana. [Bug 1162286]
  1351 	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: Incompatible with those existing
  1352 	packages that are accustomed to the [package] command forgiving
  1353 	their bugs.
  1354 
  1355 	* tests/namespace.test (25.7,8):	Backport test of knownBug.
  1356 
  1357 2005-11-08  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
  1358 
  1359 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclTraceVariableObjCmd, TraceVarProc): Applied
  1360 	Miguel's fix for [Bug 1348775]. It is not quite as elegant as the one
  1361 	applied to the HEAD, but it is easier to use it rather than fully
  1362 	backporting.
  1363 
  1364 2005-11-07  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  1365 
  1366 	* tests/trace.test (trace-13.2-4): added tests to detect leak, see
  1367 	[Bug 1348775].
  1368 
  1369 2005-11-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  1370 
  1371 	* unix/tcl.m4:	Added code to enable [load] on LynxOS. Thanks to
  1372 	heidibr@users.sf.net for the patch. [Bug 1163896]
  1373 
  1374 	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.13.
  1375 
  1376 2005-11-04  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
  1377 
  1378 	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Applied [Patch 1267871] by Matt Newman which
  1379 	* win/tclWinPort.h: provides extended error code support.
  1380 	* tests/exec.test:  Wrote some tests for this feature.
  1381 
  1382 2005-11-04  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  1383 
  1384 	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Added abbreviations for the Korean timezone.
  1385 	* generic/tclDate.c:	Regenerated.
  1386 
  1387 	* compat/strftime.c: Fixed a problem where the name of the time zone
  1388 	was double-converted from system encoding to UTF-8. Thanks to the
  1389 	anonymous submitter of [Bug 1317477] for the report and the patch.
  1390 
  1391 2005-11-04  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  1392 
  1393 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  1394 	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
  1395 	* generic/tclVar.c: fix for [Bugs 1338280/1337229]. Thanks Don.
  1396 
  1397 	* tests/trace.test: fix duplicate test numbers
  1398 
  1399 2005-11-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  1400 
  1401 	* generic/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings):	Modified so
  1402 	that multiple calls can continue to atttempt to properly set the
  1403 	system encoding. Needed for Tclkit to properly support non-default
  1404 	encodings. Thanks to Yaroslav Schekin. [Bug 1201171]
  1405 
  1406 2005-11-03  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
  1407 
  1408 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:   Backported Anton Kovalenko's [Patch 1256872]
  1409 	* win/tclWinConsole.c: to give unicode console support on
  1410 	* win/tclWinInt.h:     suitable systems (eg: NT/XP)
  1411 
  1412 2005-11-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  1413 
  1414 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclCheckExecutionTraces):	Corrected mistaken
  1415 	assumption that all command traces are set at the script level.
  1416 	Report/fix from Jacques H. de Villiers. [Bug 1337941]
  1417 
  1418 	* tests/expr-old.test (expr-32.52):	Use int(.) to restrict result
  1419 	of left shift to the C long range.
  1420 
  1421 2005-10-29  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  1422 
  1423 	* tests/expr.test: Fix problems in new round() tests that lead to
  1424 	correct result only on 32 bit long systems. [Bug 1341368]
  1425 
  1426 2005-10-29  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  1427 
  1428 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceVarProc): [Bug 1337229], partial fix.
  1429 	Ensure that a second call with TCL_TRACE_DESTROYED does not lead to a
  1430 	second call to Tcl_EventuallyFree(). It is still true that that second
  1431 	call should not happen, so the bug is not completely fixed.
  1432 	* tests/trace.test (test-18.3-4): added tests for [Bugs 1337229 and
  1433 	1338280].
  1434 
  1435 2005-10-27  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  1436 
  1437 	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprRoundFunc): Fix typo where number before
  1438 	rounding is compared with smallest integer instead of number after
  1439 	rounding. This fix does not change the results of any tests.
  1440 	* tests/expr.test: Add round() tests for cases near the min and max
  1441 	int values.
  1442 	* tests/util.test: Remove pointless warning code about testobj command
  1443 
  1444 2005-10-23  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

  1449 	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:

  1458 	* mac/tclMacInit.c:
  1459 	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:
  1460 	* win/tclWinInit.c: Ensure that the core never calls TclPtrSetVar,
  1461 	Tcl_SetVar2Ex, Tcl_ObjSetVar2 or Tcl_SetObjErrorCode with a 0-ref new
  1462 	value. It is not possible to handle error returns correctly in that
  1463 	case [Bug 1334947], one has the choice of leaking the object in some
  1464 	cases, or else risk crashing in some others.
  1465 
  1466 2005-10-22  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  1467 
  1468 	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CONCAT): disable the optimisation for
  1469 	wide integers. [Bug 1251791]
  1470 
  1471 2005-10-14  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
  1472 
  1473 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers): removed change dated
  1474 	2005-10-04 below. Look into [Bug 1323992] for detailed discussion.
  1475 
  1476 2005-10-13  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
  1477 
  1478 	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Stop [format] from seeing
  1479 	the difference between ints and wides. [Bug 1284178]
  1480 
  1481 2005-10-13  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
  1482 
  1483 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers): temporary
  1484 	ifdef TCL_THREADS changes done to de-activate pending
  1485 	event processing when channel is being closed/cutted.
  1486 
  1487 2005-10-10  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  1488 
  1489 	* generic/tclInt.h: ensure MODULE_SCOPE decl
  1490 
  1491 2005-10-07  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  1492

  1510 	USE_PUTENV_FOR_UNSET to existing USE_PUTENV define to account for
  1511 	various systems that have putenv(), but can't unset env vars with it.
  1512 	Note difference between Windows and Linux for actually unsetting the
  1513 	env var (use of '=').
  1514 	Correct the resizing of the environ array. We assume that we are in
  1515 	full ownership, but that's not correct. [Bug 979640]

  1693 2005-07-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  1694 
  1695 	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	 New "encoding" Tcl_ObjType (not registered)

  1697 	* generic/tclInt.h:	 Tcl_Encoding values kept as intreps of

  1712 
  1713 	*** 8.4.11 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
  1714 
  1715 	* library/auto.tcl:	Reverted to Revision 1.12.2.3 (Tcl 8.4.9).
  1716 	Restores the (buggy) behavior of [auto_reset] that fails to clear
  1717 	away auto-loaded commands from non-global namespaces.  Fixing this
  1718 	bug exposed an unknown number of buggy files out there (including at
  1719 	least portions of the Tk script library) that cannot tolerate double
  1720 	[source]-ing.  The burden of fixing these exposed bugs will not be
  1721 	forced on package/extension/application authors until Tcl 8.5.
  1722 
  1723 2005-06-24  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  1724 
  1725 	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize):
  1726 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  1727 	* generic/tclPreserve.c (TclFinalizePreserve): Changed the
  1728 	finalization logic so that Tcl_Preserve finalizes after exit
  1729 	handlers run; a lot of code called from Tk's exit handlers
  1730 	presumes tha Tcl_Preserve will still work even from an exit
  1731 	handler.  Also, made the assertion check that no exit handlers
  1732 	are created in Tcl_Finalize conditional on TCL_MEM_DEBUG to
  1733 	avoid spurious panics in the "stable" release.
  1734 
  1735 2005-06-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  1736 
  1737 	* library/auto.tcl:	Make file safe to re-[source] without
  1738 	destroying registered auto_mkindex_parser hooks.

  1740 2005-06-23  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  1741 
  1742 	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: fixed useversion glob pattern to accept
  1743 	multi-digit patchlevels.
  1744 
  1745 2005-06-23  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  1746 
  1747 	* win/tclWinChan.c: More rewriting of __asm__ blocks that
  1748 	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: implement SEH in GCC, because mingw's
  1749 	gcc 3.4.2 is not as forgiving of violations committed by
  1750 	the old code and caused panics. [Bug 1225957]
  1751 
  1752 2005-06-23  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  1753 
  1754 	* unix/Makefile.in (install-private-headers): rewrite tclPort.h when
  1755 	installing private headers to remove ../unix relative #include path to
  1756 	tclUnixPort.h (which is incorrect at the installed location).
  1757 
  1758 2005-06-22  Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
  1759 
  1760 	* generic/tclInt.h:			    Changed the finalization
  1761 	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize):	    logic to defer the
  1762 	* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): shutdown of the pipe
  1763 	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclFinalizePipes):    management until after
  1764 	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclFinalizePipes):	    all channels have been
  1765 	    closed, in order to avoid a situation where the Windows
  1766 	    PipeCloseProc2 would re-establish the exit handler after exit
  1767 	    handlers had already run, corrupting the heap. [Bug 1225727]
  1768 	Corrected a read of uninitialized memory in PipeCloseProc2, which (at
  1769 	least on certain configurations) caused a great number of tests to
  1770 	either fail or hang. [Bug 1225044]
  1771 
  1772 2005-06-22  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
  1773 
  1774 	* generic/tclInt.h: Followup to change made on 2005-06-18 by Daniel
  1775 	Steffen. There are compilers (*) who error out on the redefinition of
  1776 	WORDS_BIGENDIAN. We have to undef the previous definition (on the
  1777 	command line) first to make this acceptable. (*): AIX native.
  1778 
  1779 2005-06-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  1780 
  1781 	* win/tclWinFile.c:	Potential buffer overflow. [Bug 1225571]
  1782 	Thanks to Pat Thoyts for discovery and fix.
  1783 
  1784 	* tests/safe.test:	Backport performance improvement from

  1787 2005-06-21  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
  1788 
  1789 	* tests/winDde.test: Added some waits to the dde server script to
  1790 	let event processing run after we create the dde server and before
  1791 	we exit the server process. This avoids 'server did not respond'
  1792 	errors.

  1794 2005-06-21  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  1795

  1797 	containing a colon can crash the process on Windows [Bug 1194458]
  1798 	* tests/fileName.test: Added test for [file split] and [file join]
  1799 	with a name containing a colon.
  1800 	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Reverted davygrvy's changes of 2005-04-19;
  1801 	they cause multiple failures in io.test. [Bug 1225044, still open]

  1803 2005-06-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  1804 
  1805 	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Made the walk of the active trace list aware
  1806 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	of the direction of trace scanning, so the
  1807 	* generic/tclInt.h:	proper correction can be made. [Bug 1224585]
  1808 	* tests/trace.test (trace-34.2,3):
  1809 
  1810 	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteTrace):	Added missing walk of the
  1811 	* tests/trace.test (trace-34.1):	list of active traces to

  1819 2005-06-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  1820 
  1821 	* generic/tclInt.h: ensure WORDS_BIGENDIAN is defined correctly with
  1822 	fat compiles on Darwin (i.e. ppc and i386 at the same time), the
  1823 	configure AC_C_BIGENDIAN check is not sufficient in this case because
  1824 	a single run of the compiler builds for two architectures with
  1825 	different endianness.
  1826 
  1827 	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add -headerpad_max_install_names to LDFLAGS to
  1828 	ensure we can always relocate binaries with install_name_tool.

  1870 
  1871 2005-06-02  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  1872 
  1873 	* unix/Makefile.in (html): add BUILD_HTML_FLAGS optional var
  1874 	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: add a --useversion to prevent
  1875 	confusion when multiple Tcl source dirs exist.
  1876 
  1877 	* changes: updated for 8.4.10 release (porter)
  1878 
  1879 2005-05-31  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
  1880 
  1881 	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: the notifier thread is now created as
  1882 	joinable thread and it is properly joined in Tcl_FinalizeNotifier.
  1883 	This is an attempt to fix [Bug 1082283]
  1884 
  1885 2005-05-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  1886 
  1887 	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpFinalizeThreadData): move tlsKey defn
  1888 	to top of file and clarify name (was 'key'). [Bug 1204064]
  1889 
  1890 2005-05-27  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  1891 
  1892 	* README:	    Bumped patchlevel to 8.4.10
  1893 	* generic/tcl.h:
  1894 	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
  1895 	* unix/tcl.spec, unix/configure, unix/configure.in:
  1896 	* win/configure, win/configure.in:
  1897 
  1898 2005-05-26  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  1899 
  1900 	* macosx/Makefile: moved & corrected EMBEDDED_BUILD check.
  1901 
  1902 	* unix/configure.in: corrected framework finalization to softlink
  1903 	stub library to Versions/8.x subdir instead of Versions/Current.
  1904 	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
  1905 
  1906 2005-05-25  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  1907 
  1908 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TimeObjCmd): add necessary cast
  1909 
  1910 	* unix/configure, unix/configure.in: ensure false Tcl.framework is
  1911 	only created with --enable-framework
  1912 
  1913 2005-05-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  1914 
  1915 	* tests/env.test: added DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH to the list of env vars
  1916 	that need to be handled specially.
  1917 
  1918 	* macosx/Makefile:
  1919 	* macosx/README:
  1920 	* macosx/Tcl-Info.plist.in (new file):
  1921 	* unix/Makefile.in:
  1922 	* unix/configure.in:
  1923 	* unix/tcl.m4:
  1924 	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: moved all Darwin framework build support from
  1925 	macosx/Makefile into the standard unix configure/make buildsystem, the
  1926 	macosx/Makefile is no longer required to build Tcl.framework (but its
  1927 	functionality is still available for backwards compatibility).
  1928 	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
  1929 
  1930 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclLoadFile):
  1931 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  1932 	* unix/tcl.m4:
  1933 	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c: added support for [load]ing .bundle binaries in
  1934 	addition to .dylib's: .bundle's can be [unload]ed (unlike .dylib's),
  1935 	and can be [load]ed from memory, e.g. directly from VFS without
  1936 	needing to be written out to a temporary location first. [Bug 1202209]
  1937 	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
  1938 
  1939 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TimeObjCmd): change [time] called with a
  1940 	count > 1 to return a string with a float value instead of a rounded
  1941 	off integer. [Bug 1202178]
  1942 
  1943 2005-05-20  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
  1944 
  1945 	* generic/tclParseExpr.c: removed unreferenced stack variable "errMsg"
  1946 	probably included by fixing [Bug 1201589] (see below).
  1947 
  1948 2005-05-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  1949 
  1950 	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Corrected parser to recognize all
  1951 	boolean literals accepted by Tcl_GetBoolean, including prefixes like
  1952 	"y" and "f", and to allow "eq" and "ne" as function names in the
  1953 	proper context. [Bug 1201589]
  1954 
  1955 2005-05-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  1956 
  1957 	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): fixed crashing
  1958 	CFRelease of runLoopSource in Tcl_InitNotifier (reported by Zoran):
  1959 	CFRunLoopAddSource doesn't CFRetain, so can only CFRelease the
  1960 	runLoopSource in Tcl_FinalizeNotifier.
  1961 
  1962 2005-05-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  1963 
  1964 	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:
  1965 	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:
  1966 	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): made use of CoreFoundation API configurable
  1967 	and added test of CoreFoundation availablility to allow building on
  1968 	ppc64, replaced HAVE_CFBUNDLE by HAVE_COREFOUNDATION; test for
  1969 	availability of Tiger or later OSSpinLockLock API.
  1970 
  1971 	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
  1972 	* unix/Makefile.in:
  1973 	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (new file): when CoreFoundation is
  1974 	available, use new CFRunLoop based notifier: allows easy integration
  1975 	with other event loops on Mac OS X, in particular the TkAqua Carbon
  1976 	event loop is now integrated via a standard tcl event source (instead
  1977 	of TkAqua upon loading having to finalize the exsting notifier and
  1978 	replace it with its custom version). [Patch 1202052]
  1979 
  1980 	* tests/unixNotfy.test: don't run unthreaded tests on Darwin since
  1981 	notifier may be using threads even in unthreaded core.
  1982 
  1983 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
  1984 	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): test for thread-unsafe realpath durning
  1985 	configure, as Darwin 7 and later realpath is threadsafe.
  1986 
  1987 	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:
  1988 	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c:
  1989 	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: fixed gcc 4.0 warnings.
  1990 
  1991 	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
  1992 
  1993 2005-05-10  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  1994 
  1995 	* tests/string.test: string-10.[21-30]
  1996 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): add extra checks to
  1997 	prevent possible UMR in unichar cmp function for string map.
  1998 
  1999 2005-05-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  2000 
  2001 	* unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: correct Solaris 10 (5.10) check and
  2002 	add support for x86_64 Solaris cc builds.
  2003 
  2004 2005-04-29  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
  2005 
  2006 	* doc/FileSystem.3: Backport of doc fix. [Bug 1172401]
  2007 
  2008 2005-04-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  2009 
  2010 	* library/init.tcl:	Corrected flaw in interactive command
  2011 	* tests/main.test:	auto-completion. [Bug 1191409]
  2012 
  2013 	* tests/unixInit.test (7.1):	Alternative fix for the
  2014 	2005-04-22 commit.
  2015 
  2016 2005-04-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  2017 
  2018 	* compat/string.h: fixed memchr() protoype for __APPLE__ so that we
  2019 	build on Mac OS X 10.1 again.
  2020 
  2021 	* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): fixed notifier not being
  2022 	finalized in unthreaded core (was testing for notifier initialization
  2023 	in current thread by checking thread id != 0 but thread id is always 0
  2024 	in untreaded core).
  2025 
  2026 	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): sync with HEAD: only declare
  2027 	and use timeout var in unthreaded core.
  2028 
  2029 	* unix/Makefile.in: added @PLAT_SRCS@ to SRCS and split out
  2030 	NOTIFY_SRCS from UNIX_SRCS for parity with UNIX_OBJS & NOTIFY_OBJS.
  2031 
  2032 	* unix/configure.in: only run check for broken strstr implementation
  2033 	if AC_REPLACE_FUNCS(strstr) hasn't already determined that strstr is
  2034 	unavailable, otherwise compat/strstr.o will be used twice (resulting
  2035 	in duplicate symbol link errors on Mac OS X 10.1)
  2036 
  2037 	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): added configure checks for recently added
  2038 	linker flags -single_module and -search_paths_first to allow building
  2039 	with older tools (and on Mac OS X 10.1), use -single_module in
  2040 	SHLIB_LD and not just T{CL,K}_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS, added unexporting from
  2041 	Tk of symbols from libtclstub to avoid duplicate symbol warnings,
  2042 	added PLAT_SRCS definition for Mac OS X.
  2043 	(SC_MISSING_POSIX_HEADERS): added caching of dirent.h check.
  2044 	(SC_TCL_64BIT_FLAGS): fixed 'checking for off64_t' message output.
  2045 
  2046 	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
  2047 
  2048 2005-04-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  2049 
  2050 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	Corrected intrep-dependence of
  2051 	* tests/string.test:	[string is boolean] [Bug 1187123]
  2052 
  2053 2005-04-22  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  2054 
  2055 	* tests/unixInit.test (7.1): fixed failure when running tests with
  2056 	-tmpdir arg not set to working dir.
  2057 
  2058 2005-04-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  2059 
  2060 	* generic/tclGet.c (Tcl_GetInt):	Corrected error that did not
  2061 	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetIntFromObj): permit 0x80000000 to be
  2062 	recognized as an integer on TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG systems [Bug 1090869]
  2063 
  2064 2005-04-19  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  2065 
  2066 	* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-6.2): remove -blocking 1 as this one
  2067 	can truly block.
  2068 
  2069 2005-04-19  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  2070 
  2071 	* win/tclWinPipe.c: The pipe channel driver now respects the -blocking
  2072 	option when closing. The windows pipe driver now has the same behavior
  2073 	as the UNIX side. This change is to avoid a hung shell when exiting
  2074 	due to open pipes that refuse to close in a graceful manner.
  2075 	* doc/open.n: Added a note about -blocking 0 and lack of exit status
  2076 	as it had never been documented. [Bug 947693]
  2077 
  2078 	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
  2079 
  2080 	Scripts that use async pipes on windows, must (like the UNIX side) set
  2081 	-blocking to 1 before calling [close] to receive the exit status.
  2082 
  2083 	* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-6.1/2): added 'fconfigure $f -blocking
  2084 	1' so the exit status can be acquired.
  2085 
  2086 2005-04-13  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  2087 
  2088 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize): Lowest size limit
  2089 	* tests/io.test:	changed from ten bytes to one byte. Need for
  2090 	* tests/iogt.test:	this change was proven by Ross Cartlidge
  2091 	<rossc@cisco.com> where [read stdin 1] was grabbing 10 bytes followed
  2092 	by starting a child process that was intended to continue reading from
  2093 	stdin. Even with -buffersize set to one, nine chars were getting lost
  2094 	by the buffersize over reading for the native read() caused by [read].
  2095 
  2096 2005-04-12  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  2097 
  2098 	* compat/strstr.c: Added default definition of NULL to accommodate
  2099 	building on systems with badly broken headers. [Bug 1175161]
  2100 
  2101 2005-04-09  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  2102 
  2103 	* macosx/README: updated requirements for OS & developer tool versions
  2104 	+ other small fixes/cleanup.
  2105 
  2106 	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): added -single_module linker flag to
  2107 	TCL_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS and TK_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS.
  2108 	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13
  2109 
  2110 2005-04-05  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
  2111 
  2112 	Set of changes correcting huge memory waste (not a leak) when a thread
  2113 	exits. This has been introduced in 8.4.7 within an attempt to
  2114 	correctly cleanup after ourselves when Tcl library is being unloaded
  2115 	with the Tcl_Finalize() call.
  2116 
  2117 	This fixes the [Bug 1178445].
  2118 
  2119 	* generic/tclInt.h: added prototypes for TclpFreeAllocCache() and
  2120 	TclFreeAllocCache()
  2121 
  2122 	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: modified TclFinalizeThreadAlloc() to
  2123 	explicitly call TclpFreeAllocCache with the NULL-ptr as argument
  2124 	signalling cleanup of private tsd key used only by the threading
  2125 	allocator.
  2126 
  2127 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: fixed TclpFreeAllocCache() to recognize when
  2128 	being called with NULL argument. This is a signal for it to clean up
  2129 	the tsd key associated with the threading allocator.
  2130 
  2131 	* win/tclWinThrd.c: renamed TclWinFreeAllocCache to TclpFreeAllocCache
  2132 	and fixed to recognize when being called with NULL argument. This is a
  2133 	signal for it to clean up the tsd key associated with the threading
  2134 	allocator.
  2135 
  2136 2005-04-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  2137 
  2138 	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprSrandFunc):	Replaced incursions into the
  2139 	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): intreps of numeric types with
  2140 	simpler calls of Tcl_GetIntFromObj and Tcl_GetLongFromObj, now that
  2141 	those routines are better behaved wrt shimmering. [Patch 1177129]
  2142 
  2143 2005-03-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  2144 
  2145 	* win/tcl.m4, win/configure: do not require cygpath in macros to
  2146 	allow msys alone as an alternative.
  2147 
  2148 	* win/tclWinTime.c (TclpGetDate): use time_t for 'time' [Bug 1163422]
  2149 
  2150 2005-03-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  2151 
  2152 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIncrCmd):	Corrected checks for
  2153 	immediate operand usage to permit leading space and sign characters.
  2154 	Restores more efficient bytecode for [incr x -1] that got lost in the
  2155 	CONST string reforms of Tcl 8.4. [Bug 1165671]
  2156 
  2157 	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalEx,TclEvalTokensStandard):
  2158 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj):
  2159 	* tests/basic.test (basic-46.4):	Restored recursion limit
  2160 	* tests/parse.test (parse-19.*):	testing in nested command
  2161 	substitutions within direct script evaluation (Tcl_EvalEx) that got
  2162 	lost in the parser reforms of Tcl 8.1. Added tests for correct
  2163 	behavior. [Bug 1115904]
  2164 
  2165 2005-03-15  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  2166 
  2167 	* generic/tclFileName.c:
  2168 	* win/tclWinFile.c:
  2169 	* tests/winFCMd.test: fix to 'file pathtype' and 'file norm' failures
  2170 	on reserved filenames like 'COM1:', etc.

  2179 	* win/tclWinTime.c:	Replaced 'unsigned long' variable holding
  2180 	times with 'Tcl_WideInt', to cope with systems on which a time_t is
  2181 	wider than a long (Win64) [Bug 1163422]

  2183 
  2184 2005-03-15  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
  2185 
  2186 	* unix/tcl.m4: Make it work on OpenBSD again. Imported patch
  2187 	from the OpenBSD ports tree.
  2188 
  2189 2005-03-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  2190 
  2191 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclCheckInterpTraces):	Corrected mistaken
  2192 	cast of ClientData to (TraceCommandInfo *) when not warranted. Thanks
  2193 	to Yuri Victorovich for the report. [Bug 1153871]
  2194 
  2195 2005-03-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  2196 
  2197 	* win/makefile.vc: clarify necessary defined vars that can come
  2198 	from MSVC or the Platform SDK.
  2199 
  2200 2005-02-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  2201 
  2202 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Better use of [glob -types] to avoid
  2203 	* tests/tcltest.test:	failed attempts to [source] a directory, and
  2204 	similar matters. Thanks to "mpettigr". [Bug 1119798]
  2205 
  2206 	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: Bump to tcltest 2.2.8
  2207 
  2208 2005-02-23  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
  2209 
  2210 	* doc/CrtChannel.3 (THREADACTIONPROC): Formatting fix. [Bug 1149605]
  2211 
  2212 2005-02-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  2213 
  2214 	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (TraverseWinTree): use wcslen on wchar, not
  2215 	Tcl_UniCharLen.
  2216 
  2217 2005-02-16  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  2218 
  2219 	* doc/variable.n: fix for [Bug 1124160], variables are detected by
  2220 	[info vars] but not by [info locals].
  2221 
  2222 2005-02-10  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  2223 
  2224 	* unix/Makefile.in: remove SHLIB_LD_FLAGS (only for AIX, inlined
  2225 	* unix/tcl.m4:	    into SHLIB_LD).  Combine AIX-* and AIX-5
  2226 	* unix/configure:   branches in SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS.
  2227 	Correct gcc builds for AIX-4+ and HP-UX-11.
  2228 
  2229 2005-02-10  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

  2661 
  2662 	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (ThreadEventProc):	Corrected subtle bug
  2663 	where the returned (char *) from Tcl_GetStringResult(interp) continued
  2664 	to be used without copying or refcounting, while activity on the
  2665 	interp continued.

  2687 	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-8.5,6):	save/restore of
  2688 	::errorInfo and ::errorCode during global namespace teardown. Revised
  2689 	the comment to clarify why this is done, and added tests that will
  2690 	fail if this is not done.
  2691 
  2692 	* generic/tclResult.c (TclTransferResult):	Added safety checks so
  2693 	that unexpected undefined ::errorInfo or ::errorCode will not lead to
  2694 	a segfault.

  2714 	in a static build. [Bug 1016726]

  2748 	* generic/tclNamespace.c (TclGetNamespaceForQualName):	Resolved
  2749 	longstanding inconsistency in the treatment of the TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY
  2750 	flag revealed by testing the 2004-09-09 commits against Itcl.
  2751 	TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY now acts as specified in the pre-function
  2752 	comment, forcing resolution in the passed in context namespace. It has
  2753 	been incorrectly forcing resolution in the interp's current namespace.
  2754 
  2755 2004-09-10  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  2756 
  2757 	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CONCAT1): added a peephole optimisation
  2758 	for concatting an empty string. This enables replacing the idiom 'K $x
  2759 	[set x {}]' by '$x[set x {}]' for fastest execution.

  2761 2004-09-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  2762 
  2763 	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_ForgetImport): Corrected faulty logic that
  2764 	* tests/namespace.test:	relied exclusively on string matching and
  2765 	failed in the presence of [rename]s. [Bug 560297]
  2766 	Also corrected faulty prevention of [namespace import] cycles. [Bug

  2769 2004-09-08  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  2770 
  2771 	* compat/strftime.c (_conv): Corrected a problem where hour 0 would
  2772 	format as a blank format group with %k.
  2773 	* tests/clock.test (clock-41.1): Added regression test case for %k at
  2774 	the zero hour.
  2775 
  2776 2004-09-07  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  2777 
  2778 	* generic/tclTimer.c: Removed a premature optimisation that attempted
  2779 	to store the assoc data in the client data; the optimisation caused a
  2780 	bug that [after] would overwrite its imports. [Bug 1016167]
  2781

  2820 	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:	Added checks to prevent [mclocale]
  2821 	* tests/msgcat.test:	from registering filesystem paths to possibly
  2822 	malicious code to be evaluated by a later [mcload].
  2823 	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:	Bump to msgcat 1.3.3

  2826 
  2827 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpThreadCreate): changed handling of the

  2831 2004-07-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  2832 
  2833 	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize):	Re-organized Tcl_Finalize so
  2834 	that Tcl_ExitProc's that call Tcl_Finalize recursively do not cause
  2835 	deadlock. [Patch 999084, fixes Tk Bug 714956]
  2836 
  2837 2004-07-30  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  2838 
  2839 	* unix/configure:
  2840 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Darwin: instead of setting PLAT_OBJS
  2841 	to explict object files in tcl.m4, refer to MAC_OSX_OBJS makefile var.
  2842 	* unix/Makefile.in: added MAC_OSX_OBJS variable.
  2843 
  2844 2004-07-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  2845 
  2846 	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main, StdinProc):  Append newline only to

  2858 
  2859 	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: Moved the tclInt.h include to provide
  2860 	Tcl_Panic which is now required for non-threaded build.
  2861 
  2862 2004-07-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  2863 
  2864 	* tests/eofchar.data (removed):	Test io-61.1 now generates its own

  2881 2004-07-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  2882 
  2883 	* unix/tcl.m4: fixed Darwin autoconf breakage caused by recent CFLAGS
  2884 	reordering.
  2885 	* unix/configure: regen
  2886 
  2887 	* unix/tclConfig.sh.in: replaced EXTRA_CFLAGS with CFLAGS.
  2888 	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: replaced EXTRA_CFLAGS with DEFS.
  2889 
  2890 	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c: dynamically acquire address for
  2891 	CFBundleOpenBundleResourceMap symbol, since it is only present in
  2892 	full CoreFoundation on Mac OS X and not in CFLite on pure Darwin.
  2893 
  2894 2004-07-19  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  2895 
  2896 	* unix/Makefile.in, unix/tcl.m4:     move (C|LD)FLAGS after their

  2903 	a threaded Tcl core.
  2904 	Reorder configure.in for better 64-bit build configuration, replacing

  2910 	Fixes [Bug 987967]
  2911 
  2912 2004-07-16  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
  2913 
  2914 	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Corrected a typo in the
  2915 	generation of error messages and simplified by reusing data in a
  2916 	variable instead of retrieving the string again. Fixes [Bug 835289]
  2917 
  2918 	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Added description of the behaviour of
  2919 	Tcl_ReadChars when its 'charsToRead' argument is set to -1. Fixes [Bug
  2920 	934511]
  2921 
  2922 	* doc/CrtCommand.3: Added note that the arguments given to the command
  2923 	proc of a Tcl_CreateCommand are in utf8 since Tcl 8.1. Closing [Patch
  2924 	414778]
  2925 
  2926 	* doc/ChnlStack.3: Removed the declaration that the interp argument to
  2927 	Tcl_(un)StackChannel can be NULL. This fixes [Bug 881220], reported by
  2928 	Marco Maggi <marcomaggi@users.sourceforge.net>.
  2929 
  2930 	* tests/socket.test: Accepted two new testcases by Stuart Casoff
  2931 	<stwo@users.sourceforge.net> checking that -server and -async don't go
  2932 	together [Bug 796534]
  2933 
  2934 	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (NotifierThreadProc): Accepted Joe Mistachkin's
  2935 	patch for [Bug 990500], properly closing the notifier thread when its
  2936 	exits.
  2937 
  2938 2004-07-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
  2939 
  2940 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpFinalizeMutex): Accepted Joe Mistachkin's
  2941 	patch for [Bug 990453], closing leakage of mutexes. They were not
  2942 	destroyed properly upon finalization.
  2943 
  2944 2004-07-15  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
  2945 
  2946 	* generic/tclEvent.c (NewThreadProc): Backout of changes to fix [Bug
  2947 	770053]. See SF bugreport for more info.
  2948 
  2949 	* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): Added conditional
  2950 	notifier finalization based on the fact that an TclInitNotifier has
  2951 	been called for the current thread. This fixes [Bug 770053] again.
  2952 	Hopefully this time w/o unwanted side-effects.
  2953 
  2954 2004-07-14  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
  2955 
  2956 	* generic/tclIO.h (CHANNEL_INCLOSE):	   New flag. Set in Tcl_Close
  2957 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_UnregisterChannel): while the close callbacks
  2958 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Close):		   are run. Checked in
  2959 	Tcl_Close and Tcl_Unregister to prevent recursive call of [close] in
  2960 	the close-callbacks. This is a possible error made by implementors of
  2961 	virtual filesystems based on 'tclvfs', thinking that they have to
  2962 	close the channel in the close handler for the filesystem.
  2963 
  2964 2004-07-14  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
  2965 
  2966 	* generic/tclIO.c:
  2967 	* generic/tclIO.h:
  2968 	Not reverting, but #ifdef'ing the changes from May 19, 2004 out of the
  2969 	core. This removes the ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for channel
  2970 	drivers it introduced. This has become possible due to Expect gaining
  2971 	a BlockModeProc and now handling blockingg and non-blocking modes
  2972 	correctly. Thus [Bug 943274] is still fixed if a recent enough version
  2973 	of Expect is used.
  2974 
  2975 	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Added warning about usage of a channel without a
  2976 	BlockModeProc.
  2977 
  2978 2004-07-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@pliers.activestate.com>
  2979 
  2980 	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_PutsObjCmd): Added length check to the old
  2981 	depreceated newline syntax, to ensure that only "nonewline" is
  2982 	accepted. [Bug 985869] (mistachkin)

  2985 
  2986 	* README, generic/tcl.h, tools/tcl.wse.in:	      bumped to
  2987 	* unix/configure, unix/configure.in, unix/tcl.spec:   patchlevel
  2988 	* win/README.binary, win/configure, win/configure.in: 8.4.7

  2990 2004-07-13  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
  2991 
  2992 	* generic/tclEvent.c (NewThreadProc): Fixed broken build on Windows
  2993 	caused by missing TCL_THREAD_CREATE_RETURN. This is backported from
  2994 	HEAD. Thnx to Kevin Kenny for spotting this.
  2995 
  2996 2004-07-03  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  2997 
  2998 	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprRoundFunc):
  2999 	* tests/expr-old.test (39.1): added support for wide integers to
  3000 	round(); [Bug 908375], reported by Hemang Lavana.
  3001 
  3002 2004-07-02  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  3003 
  3004 	* generic/regcomp.c (stid): correct minor pointer size error
  3005 
  3006 	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): Add 2>@1 as a special
  3007 	* tests/exec.test: case redir of stderr to the result output.
  3008 
  3009 2004-07-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  3010 
  3011 	* tests/fileSystem.test: new tests backported
  3012 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: compilation fix for VC++5.2
  3013 
  3014 2004-06-29  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
  3015 
  3016 	* library/safe.tcl: Make sure that the temporary variable is
  3017 	local to the namespace and not inadvertently global. [Bug 981733]
  3018 
  3019 2004-06-22  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
  3020 
  3021 	* generic/tclEvent.c:
  3022 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  3023 	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
  3024 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
  3025 	* win/tclWinThrd.c: See bug report for more information about what it
  3026 	does. [Bug 770053]
  3027 
  3028 	* tests/unixNotfy.test: rewritten to use tcltest::threadReap to
  3029 	gracefully wait for the test thread to exit. Otherwise we got a race
  3030 	condition with main thread exiting before the test thread. This
  3031 	exposed the long-standing Tcl lib issue with resource
  3032 	garbage-collection on application exit.
  3033 
  3034 2004-06-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  3035 
  3036 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (DllMain, _except_dllmain_detach_handler)
  3037 	(TclpCheckStackSpace, _except_checkstackspace_handler, TclWinCPUID)
  3038 	(_except_TclWinCPUID_detach_handler):
  3039 	* win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel)
  3040 	(_except_makefilechannel_handler):
  3041 	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, _except_dorenamefile_handler)
  3042 	(DoCopyFile, _except_docopyfile_handler):
  3043 	Rework pushing of exception handler function pointer so that compiling
  3044 	with gcc -O3 works. Remove empty function call to avoid compiler
  3045 	warning. Mark the DllMain function as noinline to avoid compiler error
  3046 	from duplicated asm labels in generated code.
  3047 
  3048 2004-06-14  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
  3049 
  3050 	* tests/winDde.test: Fixed -async test
  3051 	* win/tclWinDde.c: Backported the fix from 8.5 to avoid hanging in the
  3052 	presence of applications that do not process Window messages.
  3053 
  3054 2004-06-10  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
  3055 
  3056 	* generic/tclDecls.h:	     Regenerated on a unix box. The Win/DOS
  3057 	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:     EOLs from the last regen screwed up
  3058 	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: compilation with an older gcc.
  3059 	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:
  3060 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
  3061 
  3062 2004-06-10  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
  3063 
  3064 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: partially corrected [Bug 932314]. Also,
  3065 	corrected return values of Tcl_FSChdir() to reflect those of the
  3066 	underlying platform-specific call. Originally, return codes were mixed
  3067 	with those of Tcl.
  3068 
  3069 2004-06-08  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  3070 
  3071 	* generic/tclCompile.c: handle warning [Bug 969066]
  3072 
  3073 2004-06-05  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  3074 
  3075 	* generic/tcl.h: Corrected Tcl_WideInt declarations so that the mingw
  3076 	build works again.
  3077 	* generic/tclDecls.h:			Changes to the tests for
  3078 	* generic/tclInt.decls:			clock frequency in Tcl_WinTime
  3079 	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:		so that any clock frequency is
  3080 	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:		accepted provided that all
  3081 	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:		CPU's in the system share a
  3082 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:		common chip, and hence,
  3083 	* tests/platform.test (platform-1.3):	presumably, a common clock.
  3084 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclWinCPUID):	This change necessitated a
  3085 	* win/tclWinTest.c (TestwincpuidCmd)	small burst of assembly code
  3086 	* win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_GetTime):	to read CPU ID information,
  3087 	which was added as TclWinCPUID in the internal Stubs. To test this
  3088 	code in the common case of a single-processor machine, a
  3089 	'testwincpuid' command was added to tclWinTest.c, and a test case in
  3090 	platform.test. Thanks to Jeff Godfrey and Richard Suchenwirth for
  3091 	reporting this bug. [Bug 976722]
  3092 
  3093 2004-05-27  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  3094 
  3095 	* tests/clock.test: Added a single test for the presence of %G in
  3096 	[clock format], and conditioned out the clock-10.x series if they're
  3097 	all going to fail because of a broken strftime() call. [Bug 961714]
  3098 
  3099 2004-05-27  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
  3100 
  3101 	* generic/tclEncoding.c:
  3102 	* tests/encoding.test: added support and tests for translating
  3103 	embedded null characters between real nullbytes and the internal
  3104 	representation on input/output. [Bug 949905]
  3105 
  3106 2004-05-26  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  3107 
  3108 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Correction to debug prints and testing
  3109 	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:	if TCLTEST_OPTIONS value. Corrected
  3110 	* tests/tcltest.test:		double increment of numTestFiles in
  3111 	-singleproc 1 configurations. Updated tcltest-19.1 to tcltest 2.1
  3112 	behavior. Corrected tcltest-25.3 to not falsely report a failure in
  3113 	tcltest.test. Bumped to tcltest 2.2.6. [Bugs 960560, 960926]
  3114 
  3115 2004-05-25  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  3116 
  3117 	* doc/http.n (http::config): add -urlencoding option (default utf-8)
  3118 	* library/http/http.tcl:     that specifies encoding conversion of
  3119 	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: args for http::formatQuery.  Previously
  3120 	* tests/http.test:	     undefined, RFC 2718 says it should be
  3121 	utf-8. 'http::config -urlencoding {}' returns previous behavior,
  3122 	which will throw errors processing non-latin-1 chars. Bumped http
  3123 	package to 2.5.0.
  3124 
  3125 2004-05-25  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  3126 
  3127 	* tests/winFCmd.test: Correct test for the presence of a CD-ROM so
  3128 	that it doesn't misdetect some other sort of filesystem with a
  3129 	write-protected root as being a CD-ROM drive. [Bug 918267]
  3130 
  3131 2004-05-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  3132 
  3133 	* generic/tclExecute.c (VerifyExprObjType): use GET_WIDE_OR_INT to
  3134 	properly have tclIntType used for smaller values. This corrects TclX
  3135 	bug 896727 and any other 3rd party extension that created math
  3136 	functions but was not yet WIDE_INT aware in them.
  3137 
  3138 2004-05-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
  3139 
  3140 	* doc/set.n: accurate description of name resolution process,
  3141 	referring to namespace.n for details [Bug 959180]
  3142 
  3143 2004-05-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
  3144 
  3145 	* generic/tclVar.c (TclObjUnsetVar2): backported fix [Bug 735335] and
  3146 	new (in tcl8.4) exteriorisations of [Bug 736729] due to the use of
  3147 	tclNsVarNameType obj types. The consequences of [Bug 736729] should be
  3148 	the same as in tcl8.3 and previous versions. The use of
  3149 	tclNsVarNameType objs is still disabled, pending a decision by the
  3150 	release manager.
  3151 
  3152 2004-05-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
  3153 
  3154 	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): fix for an issue where
  3155 	there was a sneak path from Tcl_DStringFree to SetErrorCode(0). The
  3156 	result was that the error code could be reset between a call to
  3157 	FindFirstFile and the check of its status return, leading to a bizarre
  3158 	error return of {POSIX unknown {No error}}. (Found in unplanned test -
  3159 	no incident logged at SourceForge.)
  3160 
  3161 2004-05-19  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
  3162 
  3163 	* generic/tclIO.c: Fixed [SF Tcl Bug 943274]. This is the same problem
  3164 	* generic/tclIO.h: as [SF Tcl Bug 462317], see ChangeLog entry
  3165 	2001-09-26. The fix done at that time is incomplete. It is possible to
  3166 	get around it if the actual read operation is defered and not executed
  3167 	in the event handler itself. Instead of tracking if we are in an read
  3168 	caused by a synthesized fileevent we now track if the OS has delivered
  3169 	a true event = actual data and bypass the driver if a read finds that
  3170 	there is no actual data waiting. The flag is cleared by a short or
  3171 	full read. [[this bug amended 2004-07-14]]
  3172 
  3173 2004-05-18  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  3174 
  3175 	* compat/strftime.c (_fmt, ISO8601Week):
  3176 	* doc/clock.n:
  3177 	* tests/clock.test: Major rework to the handling of ISO8601 week
  3178 	numbers. Now passes all the %G and %V test cases on Windows, Linux and
  3179 	Solaris [Bugs 500285, 500389, and 852944]
  3180 
  3181 2004-05-17  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb.@acm.org>
  3182 
  3183 	* generic/tclInt.decls:	     Restored TclpTime_t kludge to all places
  3184 	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: where it appeared before the changes of
  3185 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h	     14 May, because use of native time_t in
  3186 	* unix/tclUnixTime.h	     its place requires the 8.5 header
  3187 	* win/tclWinTime.h:	     reforms. [Bug 955146]
  3188 
  3189 2004-05-17  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
  3190 
  3191 	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Documented type of 'offset' argument to Tcl_Seek
  3192 	was wrong. [Bug 953374]
  3193 
  3194 2004-05-14  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  3195 
  3196 	* generic/tclInt.decls:	     Promoted TclpLocaltime and TclpGmtime
  3197 	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:     from Unix-specific stubs to the generic
  3198 	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: internal Stubs table. Reran 'genstubs'
  3199 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
  3200 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
  3201 
  3202 	* generic/tclClock.c: Changed a buggy 'GMT' timezone specification to
  3203 			      the correct 'GMT0'. [Bug 922848]
  3204 
  3205 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Moved TclpGmtime and TclpLocaltime to
  3206 			      unix/tclUnixTime.c where they belong.
  3207 
  3208 	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (TclpGmtime, TclpLocaltime, TclpGetTimeZone,
  3209 	(ThreadSafeGMTime[removed], ThreadSafeLocalTime[removed],
  3210 	(SetTZIfNecessary, CleanupMemory): Restructured to make sure that the
  3211 	same mutex protects all calls to localtime, gmtime, and tzset. Added a
  3212 	check in front of those calls to make sure that the TZ env var hasn't
  3213 	changed since the last call to tzset, and repeat tzset if necessary.
  3214 	[Bug 940278] Removed a buggy test of the Daylight Saving Time
  3215 	information in 'gettimeofday' in favor of applying 'localtime' to a
  3216 	known value. [Bug 922848]
  3217 
  3218 	* tests/clock.test (clock-3.14): Added test to make sure that changes
  3219 	to $env(TZ) take effect immediately.
  3220 
  3221 	* win/tclWinTime.c (TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime): Added porting layer
  3222 	for 'localtime' and 'gmtime' calls.
  3223 
  3224 2004-05-10  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  3225 
  3226 	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Append a space when the path
  3227 	got primed.
  3228 	(TclpCreateProcess): When under NT, with no console, and executing a
  3229 	DOS application, the path priming does not need an ending space as
  3230 	BuildCommandLine() will append one for us.
  3231 
  3232 2004-05-07  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  3233 
  3234 	* doc/unset.n: added upvar.n to the "see also" list
  3235 
  3236 2004-05-05  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  3237 
  3238 	* generic/tclEvent.c: TclSetLibraryPath's use of caching the stringrep
  3239 	of the pathPtr object to TclGetLibraryPath called from another thread
  3240 	was ineffective if the original's stringrep had been invalidated as
  3241 	what happens when it gets muted to a list.
  3242 
  3243 	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Added FreeEncoding(systemEncoding) in
  3244 	TclFinalizeEncodingSubsystem because its ref count was incremented in
  3245 	TclInitEncodingSubsystem.
  3246 
  3247 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Structured Exception Handling added around
  3248 	Tcl_Finalize called from DllMain's DLL_PROCESS_DETACH. We can't be
  3249 	100% assured that Tcl is being unloaded by the OS in a stable
  3250 	condition and we need to protect the exit handlers should the stack be
  3251 	in a hosed state. AT&T style assembly for SEH under MinGW included,
  3252 	too. [Patch 858493]
  3253 
  3254 	Also added DisableThreadLibraryCalls() for the DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH
  3255 	case. We're not interested in knowing about DLL_THREAD_ATTACH, so
  3256 	disable the notices.
  3257 
  3258 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  3259 	* generic/tclThread.c:
  3260 	* generic/tclEvent.c:
  3261 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
  3262 	* win/tclWinThrd.c:  Provisions made so masterLock, initLock,
  3263 	allocLock and joinLock mutexes can be recovered during Tcl_Finalize.
  3264 
  3265 	* win/tclWinSock.c:
  3266 	(SocketThreadExitHandler): Don't call TerminateThread when
  3267 	WaitForSingleObject returns a timeout. Tcl_Finalize called from
  3268 	DllMain will pause all threads. Trust that the thread will get the
  3269 	close notice at a later time if it does ever wake up before being
  3270 	cleaned up by the system anyway.
  3271 	(SocketEventProc): connect errors should fire both the readable and
  3272 	writable handlers because this is how it works on UNIX. [Bug 794839]
  3273 
  3274 	* win/coffbase.txt: Added the tls extension to the list of preferred
  3275 	load addresses.
  3276 
  3277 2004-05-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  3278 
  3279 	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.10): Test correction for Mac OSX.
  3280 	Be sure to consistently compare normalized path names. Thanks to
  3281 	Steven Abner (tauvan). [Bug 948177]
  3282 
  3283 2004-05-05  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
  3284 
  3285 	* doc/CrtObjCmd.3: Remove reference to Tcl_RenameCommand; there is no
  3286 	such API. [Bug 848440]
  3287 
  3288 2004-05-04  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  3289 
  3290 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSChdir):  Work-around crash condition
  3291 	* tests/winFCmd.test (winFCmd-16.12): triggered when $HOME is
  3292 	volumerelative (ie 'C:').
  3293 
  3294 	* tests/fileName.test (filename-12.9): use C:/ instead of the first
  3295 	item in file volumes - that's usually A:/, which for most will have
  3296 	nothing in it.
  3297 
  3298 2004-05-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  3299

  3303 2004-05-03  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
  3304 
  3305 	Applied [SF Tcl Patch 868853], fixing a mem leak in TtySetOptionProc.
  3306 	Report and Patch provided by Stuart Cassoff <stwo@users.sf.net>.
  3307 
  3308 2004-05-03  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  3309 
  3310 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace):
  3311 	* tests/stack.test (stack-3.1): Fix for undetected stack overflow in
  3312 	TclReExec on Windows. [Bug 947070]
  3313 
  3314 2004-05-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  3315 
  3316 	* library/init.tcl:	Corrected unique prefix matching of
  3317 	interactive command completion in [unknown]. [Bug 946952]
  3318 
  3319 2004-05-02  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  3320 
  3321 	* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInvokeProc):
  3322 	* tests/proc.test (proc-3.6): fix for bad quoting of multi-word proc
  3323 	names in error messages [Bug 942757]
  3324 
  3325 2004-04-23  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
  3326 
  3327 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelOption): Fixed [Bug 930851]. When
  3328 	changing the eofchar we have to zap the related flags to prevent them
  3329 	from prematurely aborting the next read.
  3330 
  3331 2004-04-07  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  3332 
  3333 	* win/configure:
  3334 	* win/configure.in: define TCL_LIB_FLAG, TCL_BUILD_LIB_SPEC,
  3335 	TCL_LIB_SPEC and TCL_PACKAGE_PATH in tclConfig.sh.

  3344 	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-18.2): Added constraint because
  3345 	access(...,X_OK) is defined to be permitted to be meaningless when
  3346 	running as root, and OSX exhibits this. [Bug 929892]
  3347

  3356 	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl ([mcset], [ConvertLocale], [Init]):
  3357 	Corrected [mcset] to be able to successfully set a translation to
  3358 	the empty string. [mcset $loc $src {}] was incorrectly set the $loc
  3359 	translation of $src back to $src. Also changed [ConvertLocale] to
  3360 	minimally require a non-empty "language" part in the locale value. If
  3361 	not, an error raised prompts [Init] to keep looking for a valid locale
  3362 	value, or ultimately fall back on the "C" locale. [Bug 811461]
  3363 	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:	Bump to msgcat 1.3.2.

  3393 
  3394 	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript):
  3395 	* tests/compile.test (compile-3.5): corrected wrong test and behaviour
  3396 	in the earlier fix for [Bug 705406]; Don Porter reported this as [Bug
  3397 	735055], and provided the solution. Fixed in HEAD on 2003-05-09, but
  3398 	backport to 8-4-branch was wrongly omitted; re-reported as [Bug
  3399 	916795] by Roy Terry, diagnosed by dgp.

  3417 	level instead of the iPtr->numLevels level when deciding what traces
  3418 	created by Tcl_Create(Obj)Trace to call. Added test to expose the
  3419 	error, and made fix. [Request 462580]

  3447 2004-02-19  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  3448 
  3449 	* win/tclWinInit.c (AppendEnvironment): Use the tail component of the
  3450 	passed in lib path instead of just blindly using lib+4. That worked
  3451 	when lib was "lib/..." but fails for other values. Thanks go to

  3508 
  3509 	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_GlobObjCmd):  Latest changes to
  3510 	management of the interp result by Tcl_GetIndexFromObj() exposed
  3511 	improper interp result management in the [glob] command procedure.
  3512 	Corrected by adopting the Tcl_SetObjResult(Tcl_NewStringObj) pattern.
  3513 	This stopped a segfault in test filename-11.36.

  3516 
  3517 	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct, Tcl_WrongNumArgs):
  3518 	Create fresh objects instead of using the one currently in the
  3519 	interpreter, which isn't guaranteed to be fresh and unshared. The
  3520 	cost for the core will be minimal because of the object cache, and

  3561 	* generic/tclBinary.c (DeleteScanNumberCache, ScanNumber): Made
  3562 	the numeric scan-value cache have proper references to the objects

  3599 
  3600 	* tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-1.4): change to nonPortable as more

  3645 
  3646 	* generic/tclTest.c: fix test suite memory leak (backport error)

  3651 
  3652 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel): Applied [Patch 813606]
  3653 	fixing [Bug 813087]. Detection of sockets was off for Mac OS X which

  3657 2003-10-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
  3658 
  3659 	* win/tclWinSock.c (TcpWatchProc): Watch for FD_CLOSE too when asked

  3688 	illegal <DL><P><DT>...<DD>...<P><DT>...<DD>...</DL>. Added skipping of
  3689 	directives directly after .TP to avoid them being used as item
  3690 	descriptions, e.g. .TP\n.VS in clock.n.

  3692 2003-10-21  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
  3693

  3714 2003-10-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  3715 
  3716 	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Save and restore the iPtr->flag bits that
  3717 	control the state of errorCode and errorInfo management when calling
  3718 	"leave" execution traces, so that all error information of the traced
  3719 	command is still available whether traced or not. Thanks to Yahalom
  3720 	Emet. [Bug 760947]

  3722 2003-10-08  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  3723 
  3724 	* generic/tclTest.c (TestNumUtfCharsCmd): Command to allow finer
  3725 	access to Tcl_NumUtfChars for testing.
  3726 	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_NumUtfChars): Corrected string length
  3727 	determining when the length parameter is negative; the terminator is a
  3728 	zero byte, not (necessarily) a \u0000 character. [Bug 769812]

  3730 2003-10-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  3731 
  3732 	* tests/exec.test:		Corrected temporary file management
  3733 	* tests/fileSystem.test:	issues uncovered by -debug 1 test
  3734 	* tests/io.test:		operations.  Also backported some
  3735 	* tests/ioCmd.test:		other fixes from the HEAD.
  3736 	* tests/pid.test:		[Bugs 675605, 675655, 675659]
  3737 	* tests/socket.test:
  3738 	* tests/source.test:
  3739 
  3740 	* tests/fCmd.test:	Run tests with the [temporaryDirectory] as
  3741 	the current directory, so that tests can depend on ability to write
  3742 	files.	[Bug 575837]
  3743 
  3744 	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3:	Updated Tcl_Tell and Tcl_Seek documentation
  3745 	to reflect that they now return Tcl_WideInt (TIP 72) [Bug 787537]
  3746 
  3747 	* tests/io.test:	Corrected several tests that failed when paths
  3748 	* tests/ioCmd.test:	included regexp-special chars. [Bug 775394]

  3753 	* tests/regexpComp.test:	[Bug 675652]
  3754 
  3755 	* tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-8.2):	Test only that tilde-substitution
  3756 	happens, not for any particular result. [Bug 685991]
  3757 
  3758 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_TCLCONFIG):	Corrected search path so
  3759 	that alpha and beta releases of Tcl are not favored. [Bug 608698]
  3760 
  3761 	* tests/reg.test:	Corrected duplicate test names.
  3762 	* tests/resource.test:	[Bugs 710370, 710358]

  3771 
  3772 	* generic/tclFileName.c:
  3773 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: backport of volumerelative file normalization
  3774 	and 'file join' inconsistency fixes [Bug 767834, 813273].
  3775 
  3776 2003-10-04  Chengye Mao <chengye.geo@yahoo.com>
  3777 
  3778 	* win/tclWinPipe.c: fixed a bug in BuildCommandLine.
  3779 	This bug built a command line with a missing space between
  3780 	tclpipe.dll and the following arguments.  It caused error
  3781 	in Windows 98 when exec command.com (e.g. dir) [Bug 789040]
  3782 
  3783 2003-10-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  3784 
  3785 	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Fixed error in ref count management of command
  3786 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	and execution traces that caused access to
  3787 	freed memory in trace-32.1. [Bug 811483]
  3788 
  3789 2003-10-03  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  3790 
  3791 	* tests/fileName.test:
  3792 	* tests/winFCmd.test:
  3793 	* doc/FileSystem.3: backported various test and documentation changes

  3797 
  3798 	* README:		Bumped patch level to 8.4.5 to prepare
  3799 	* generic/tcl.h:	for next patch release.
  3800 	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
  3801 	* unix/configure.in:
  3802 	* unix/tcl.spec:
  3803 	* win/README.binary:
  3804 	* win/configure.in:

  3810 	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl:
  3811 
  3812 2003-10-01  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  3813 
  3814 	* macosx/Makefile: fixed redo prebinding bug when DESTDIR="".
  3815 	* mac/tclMacResource.c: fixed possible NULL dereference (bdesgraupes).
  3816 
  3817 2003-09-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  3818 
  3819 	* generic/tclBasic.c (CallCommandTraces):	Added safety bit
  3820 	* tests/trace.test:	masking to prevent any of the bit values
  3821 	TCL_TRACE_*_EXEC from leaking into the flags field of any Command
  3822 	struct. This does not fix [Bug 811483] but helps to contain some of
  3823 	its worst symptoms. Also backported the corrections to test trace-28.4
  3824 	from Vince Darley.
  3825 
  3826 2003-09-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  3827 
  3828 	* library/http/http.tcl (geturl): Correctly check the type of
  3829 	boolean-valued options. [Bug 811170]
  3830 
  3831 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_FRAMEWORK): Added note to make it clearer
  3832 	that this is an OSX feature, not a general Unix feature. [Bug 619440]
  3833 
  3834 2003-09-28  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  3835 
  3836 	* win/tclWinPipe.c: The windows port of expect can call
  3837 	TclWinAddProcess before any of the other pipe functions. Added a
  3838 	missing PipeInit() call to make sure the initialization happens.
  3839 
  3840 2003-09-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  3841 
  3842 	* macosx/Makefile: ensure SYMROOT exists if OBJROOT is overridden on
  3843 	command line. Replaced explict use of /usr/bin by ${BINDIR}.
  3844 
  3845 2003-09-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  3846 
  3847 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:			Fixed [Bug 807243] where
  3848 	* tests/trace.test (trace-31,32.*):	the introspection results
  3849 	of both [trace info command] and [trace info execution] were getting
  3850 	co-mingled.  Thanks to Mark Saye for the report.
  3851 
  3852 	* library/init.tcl (auto_load, auto_import):  Expanded Eric Melski's
  3853 	2000-01-28 fix for [Bug 218871] to all potentially troubled uses of
  3854 	[info commands] on input data, where glob-special characters could
  3855 	cause problems.
  3856 
  3857 2003-09-19  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  3858 
  3859 	* generic/tclExecute.c: adding (DE)CACHE_STACK_INFO() pairs to protect
  3860 	all calls that may cause traces on ::errorInfo or ::errorCode to
  3861 	corrupt the stack [Bug 804681]
  3862 
  3863 2003-09-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  3864 
  3865 	* library/opt/optparse.tcl:	Overlooked dependence of opt 0.4.4
  3866 	* library/opt/pkgIndex.tcl:	on Tcl 8.2.  Bumped to opt 0.4.4.1.
  3867 
  3868 2003-09-01  Zoran Vasiljevic <zoran@archiware.com>
  3869 
  3870 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: backported fix from HEAD [Bug 788780]
  3871 
  3872 2003-08-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  3873 
  3874 	* generic/tclUtil.c:	Corrected [Bug 411825] and other bugs in
  3875 	TclNeedSpace() where non-breaking space (\u00A0) and backslash-escaped
  3876 	spaces were handled incorrectly.
  3877 	* tests/util.test:	Added new tests util-8.[2-6].
  3878 
  3879 2003-08-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  3880 
  3881 	* win/tclWinInit.c: recognize amd64 and ia32_on_win64 cpus and
  3882 	Windows CE platform.
  3883 
  3884 2003-08-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  3885 
  3886 	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:	Added escape so that non-Windows
  3887 	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:	platforms do not try to use the
  3888 	registry package.  This can save a costly and pointless package
  3889 	search. Bumped to 1.3.1. Thanks to Dave Bodenstab. [Bug 781609]
  3890 
  3891 2003-08-05  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  3892 
  3893 	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_INVOKE, INST_EVAL, INST_PUSH_RESULT):
  3894 	added a Tcl_ResetResult(interp) at each point where the interp's
  3895 	result is pushed onto the stack, to avoid keeping an extra reference
  3896 	that may cause costly Tcl_Obj duplication. Detected by Franco Violi,
  3897 	analyzed by Peter Spjuth and Donal Fellows. [Bug 781585]
  3898 
  3899 2003-07-24  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
  3900 
  3901 	* library/package.tcl: Fixed a typo that broke pkg_mkIndex -verbose.
  3902 
  3903 	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Added a test for [pkg_mkIndex -verbose].
  3904 
  3905 2003-07-23  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  3906 
  3907 	* unix/Makefile.in: changes to html-tcl & html-tk targets for
  3908 	compatibility with non-gnu makes.
  3909 
  3910 	* unix/Makefile.in: added macosx/README to dist target.
  3911 
  3912 2003-07-23  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
  3913 
  3914 	* win/tclWinReg.c (OpenSubKey): Backported fix for [Bug 775976] which
  3915 	causes the registry set command to fail when built with VC7.
  3916 	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Incremented the version to 1.1.2.
  3917 
  3918 2003-07-21  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  3919 
  3920 	*** 8.4.4 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
  3921 
  3922 	* changes: updated for 8.4.4 release
  3923 
  3924 2003-07-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  3925 
  3926 	* macosx/Makefile: added option to allow installing manpages in
  3927 	addition to default html help.
  3928 
  3929 2003-07-18  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  3930 
  3931 	* doc/Utf.3: Tightened up documentation of Tcl_UtfNext and Tcl_UtfPrev
  3932 	to better match the behaviour. [Bug 769895]
  3933 
  3934 2003-07-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  3935 
  3936 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: correct MT-safety issues with filesystem
  3937 	records. [Bug 753315] (vasiljevic)
  3938 
  3939 	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: merged to v2.4.4 from head
  3940 	* library/http/http.tcl: add support for user:pass info in URL.
  3941 	* tests/http.test:	 [Bug 759888] (shiobara)
  3942 
  3943 2003-07-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  3944 
  3945 	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Corrected several instances of unsafe
  3946 	* generic/tclCompile.c:	truncation of UTF-8 strings that might break
  3947 	* generic/tclProc.c:	apart a multi-byte character. [Bug 760872]
  3948 	* library/init.tcl:
  3949 	* tests/init.test:
  3950 
  3951 	* doc/tcltest.n:		Restored the [Eval] proc to replace
  3952 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	the [::puts] command when either the
  3953 	-output or -error option for [test] is in use, in order to capture
  3954 	data written to the output or error channels for comparison against
  3955 	what is expected. This is easier to document and agrees better with
  3956 	most user expectations than the previous attempt to replace [puts]
  3957 	only in the caller's namespace. Documentation made more precise on the
  3958 	subject. [Bug 706359]
  3959 
  3960 	* doc/AddErrInfo.3:	Improved consistency of documentation by using
  3961 	* doc/CrtTrace.3:	"null" everywhere to refer to the character
  3962 	* doc/Encoding.3:	'\0', and using "NULL" everywhere to refer to
  3963 	* doc/Eval.3:		the value of a pointer that points to nowhere.
  3964 	* doc/GetIndex.3:	Also dropped references to ASCII that are no
  3965 	* doc/Hash.3:		longer true, and standardized on the
  3966 	* doc/LinkVar.3:	hyphenated spelling of "null-terminated".
  3967 	* doc/Macintosh.3:	
  3968 	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3:
  3969 	* doc/SetVar.3:
  3970 	* doc/StringObj.3:
  3971 	* doc/Utf.3:
  3972 
  3973 	* doc/CrtSlave.3 (Tcl_MakeSafe):  Removed warning about possible
  3974 	deprecation (no TIP on that).
  3975 
  3976 2003-07-17  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  3977 
  3978 	* macosx/Makefile: added var to allow overriding of tclsh used during
  3979 	html help building (Landon Fuller).
  3980 
  3981 2003-07-16  Mumit Khan  <khan@nanotech.wisc.edu>
  3982 
  3983 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (SetFsPathFromAny): Add Cygwin specific code to
  3984 	convert POSIX filename to native format.
  3985 	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_TranslateFileName): And remove from here.
  3986 	(TclDoGlob): Adjust for cygwin and append / for dirs instead of \
  3987 	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjChdir): Use chdir on Cygwin. [Patch 679315]
  3988 
  3989 2003-07-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  3990 
  3991 	* library/safe.tcl (FileInAccessPath): normalize paths before
  3992 	comparison. [Bug 759607] (myers)
  3993 
  3994 	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (NotifierThreadProc): correct size of found and
  3995 	word vars from int to long. [Bug 767578] (hgo)
  3996 
  3997 2003-07-16  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  3998 
  3999 	* doc/CrtSlave.3 (Tcl_MakeSafe): Updated documentation to strongly
  4000 	discourage use. IMHO code outside the core that uses this function is
  4001 	a bug... [Bug 655300]
  4002 
  4003 2003-07-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  4004 
  4005 	* generic/tcl.h:       Add recognition of -DTCL_UTF_MAX=6 on the
  4006 	* generic/regcustom.h: make line to support UCS-4 mode. No config arg
  4007 	at this time, as it is not the recommended build mode.
  4008 
  4009 	* generic/tclPreserve.c: In Result and Preserve'd routines, do not
  4010 	* generic/tclUtil.c:	 assume that ckfree == free, as that is not
  4011 	* generic/tclResult.c:	 always true. [Bug 756791] (fuller)
  4012 
  4013 2003-07-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  4014 
  4015 	* win/Makefile.in: Don't define TCL_DBGX symbol for every compile.
  4016 	Instead, define TCL_PIPE_DLL only when compiling tclWinPipe.c. This
  4017 	will break other build systems, so they will need to remove the
  4018 	TCL_DBGX define and replace it with a define for TCL_PIPE_DLL.
  4019 	* win/makefile.vc: Ditto.
  4020 	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): Remove PREFIX_IDENT and
  4021 	DEBUG_IDENT from top of file. Use TCL_PIPE_DLL passed in from build
  4022 	env instead of trying to construct the dll name from already defined
  4023 	symbols. This approach is more flexible and better in the long run.
  4024 
  4025 2003-07-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  4026 
  4027 	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_GlobObjCmd):	[Bug 771840]
  4028 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSConvertToPathType):[Bug 771947]
  4029 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (GetModeFromPermString):	[Bug 771949]
  4030 	Silence compiler warnings about unreached lines.
  4031 
  4032 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl (ProcessFlags):	Corrected broken call
  4033 	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:			to [lrange]. Bumped to
  4034 	version 2.2.4. [Bug 772333]
  4035 
  4036 2003-07-15  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  4037 
  4038 	* unix/dltest/pkga.c (Pkga_EqObjCmd): Fix typo that was causing a
  4039 	crash in load.test.
  4040 
  4041 2003-07-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  4042 
  4043 	* doc/array.n: Added some examples from David Welton [Patch 763312]
  4044 
  4045 2003-07-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  4046 
  4047 	* doc/http.n:  Updated SYNOPSIS to match actual syntax of commands.
  4048 	[Bug 756112]
  4049 
  4050 	* unix/dltest/pkga.c:	Updated to not use Tcl_UtfNcmp and counted
  4051 	strings instead of strcmp (not defined in any #include'd header) and
  4052 	presumed NULL-terminated strings.
  4053 
  4054 	* README:		Bumped patch level to 8.4.4 in anticipation
  4055 	* generic/tcl.h:	of another patch release.
  4056 	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
  4057 	* unix/configure.in:
  4058 	* unix/tcl.spec:
  4059 	* win/README.binary:
  4060 	* win/configure.in:
  4061 
  4062 	* unix/configure:	autoconf (2.13)
  4063 	* win/configure:
  4064 
  4065 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIfCmd):  Prior fix of Bug 711371
  4066 	on 2003-04-07 introduced a buffer overflow. Corrected. [Bug 771613]
  4067 
  4068 2003-07-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  4069 
  4070 	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (SortCompare): Cleared up confusing error
  4071 	message. [Bug 771539]
  4072 
  4073 2003-07-15  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  4074 
  4075 	* macosx/Makefile: Rewrote buildsystem for Mac OS X framework build to
  4076 	be purely make driven; in order to become independent of Apple's
  4077 	closed-source IDE and build tool. The changes are intended to be
  4078 	transparent to the Makefile user, all existing make targets and cmd
  4079 	line variable overrides should continue to work. Changed build to only
  4080 	include tcl specific html help in Tcl.framework, the tk specific html
  4081 	help is now included in Tk.framework.
  4082 
  4083 	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
  4084 	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser: Changed to purely call through to
  4085 	the make driven buildsystem; Tcl.framework is no longer assembled by
  4086 	ProjectBuilder. Set default SYMROOT in target options to simplify
  4087 	setting up PB (manually setting common build folder for tcl & tk no
  4088 	longer needed).
  4089 
  4090 	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: Added options to allow building only the
  4091 	tcl or tk html help files; the default behaviour with none of the new
  4092 	options is to build both, as before.
  4093 
  4094 	* unix/Makefile.in: Added targets for building only the tcl or tk help.
  4095 
  4096 	* macosx/README (new): Tcl specific excerpts of tk/macosx/README.
  4097 
  4098 	* generic/tcl.h: Updated reminder comment about editing
  4099 	macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj when version number changes.

  4101 2003-07-11  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  4102 
  4103 	* tests/binary.test (binary-46.*): Tests to help enforce the current
  4104 	behaviour.
  4105 	* doc/binary.n: Documented that [binary format a] and [binary scan a]
  4106 	do encoding conversion by dropping high bytes, unlike the rest of
  4107 	the core. [Bug 735364]
  4108 
  4109 2003-07-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  4110 
  4111 	* library/package.tcl:	Corrected [pkg_mkIndex] bug reported on
  4112 	comp.lang.tcl. The indexer was searching for newly indexed packages
  4113 	instead of newly provided packages.
  4114 
  4115 2003-07-04  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  4116 
  4117 	* doc/expr.n: Tighten up the wording of some operations. [Bug 758488]
  4118 
  4119 	* tests/cmdAH.test: Made tests of [file mtime] work better on FAT
  4120 	filesystems. [Patch 760768]  Also a little general cleanup.
  4121 
  4122 2003-06-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  4123 
  4124 	* unix/configure: Regen.
  4125 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add -ieee when compiling with cc and
  4126 	add -mieee when compiling with gcc under OSF1-V5 "Tru64" systems. [Bug
  4127 	748957]
  4128 
  4129 2003-06-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  4130 
  4131 	* doc/encoding.n: Corrected the docs to say that [source] uses the
  4132 	system encoding, which it always did anyway (since 8.1) [Bug 742100]
  4133 
  4134 2003-06-23  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  4135 
  4136 	* generic/tclFCmd.c: fix to bad error message when trying to do 'file
  4137 	copy foo ""'. [Bug 756951]
  4138 	* tests/fCmd.test: added two new tests for the bug.
  4139 
  4140 	* doc/FileSystem.3: documentation fix [Bug 720634]
  4141 
  4142 2003-06-18  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  4143 
  4144 	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_Export): removed erroneous comments [Bug
  4145 	756744]
  4146 
  4147 2003-06-17  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  4148 
  4149 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
  4150 	* tests/regexp.test: fixing of bugs related to regexp and regsub
  4151 	matching of empty strings. Addition of a number of new tests.
  4152 
  4153 2003-06-10  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  4154 
  4155 	* generic/tclBasic.c:
  4156 	* generic/tclExecute.c: let TclEvalObjvInternal call TclInterpReady
  4157 	instead of relying on its callers to do so; fix for the part of [Bug
  4158 	495830] that is new in 8.4.
  4159 	* tests/interp.test: Added tests 18.9 (knownbug) and 18.10
  4160 
  4161 2003-06-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  4162 
  4163 	* tests/string.test (string-4.15): Added test for [string first] bug
  4164 	reported in Tcl 8.3, where test for all-single-byte-encoded strings
  4165 	was not reliable.
  4166 
  4167 2003-06-04  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
  4168 
  4169 	* tools/man2help.tcl: Added duplicate help section checking and
  4170 	* tools/index.tcl:    corrected a comment typo for the getTopics proc
  4171 	in index.tcl. [Bug 748700]
  4172 
  4173 2003-05-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  4174 
  4175 	* generic/tclObj.c (tclCmdNameType):  Converted internal rep
  4176 	management of the cmdName Tcl_ObjType the opposite way, to always use
  4177 	the twoPtrValue instead of always using the otherValuePtr. Previous
  4178 	fix on 2003-05-12 broke several extensions that wanted to poke around
  4179 	with the twoPtrValue.ptr2 value of a cmdName Tcl_Obj, like TclBlend
  4180 	and e4graph. [Bug 726018] Thanks to George Petasis for the bug report
  4181 	and Jacob Levy for testing assistance.
  4182 
  4183 2003-05-22  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  4184 
  4185 	*** 8.4.3 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
  4186 
  4187 	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c: fixed a problem that caused only the first
  4188 	call to Tcl_MacOSXOpenVersionedBundleResources() for a given bundle
  4189 	identifier to succeed. This caused the tcl runtime library not to be
  4190 	found in all interps created after the inital one.
  4191 
  4192 2003-05-20  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  4193 
  4194 	* changes: updated for 8.4.3
  4195 
  4196 	* unix/Makefile.in: do not run autoconf during 'make dist' as the
  4197 	configure is now a CVS-maintained file and should be up-to-date.
  4198 
  4199 2003-05-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  4200 
  4201 	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: changed tclConfig.sh location in
  4202 	versioned framework subdirectories to be identical to location in
  4203 	framework toplevel; fixed stub library symbolic links to be Tcl
  4204 	version specific.
  4205 
  4206 2003-05-16  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  4207 
  4208 	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: updated copyright year.
  4209 
  4210 2003-05-15  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  4211 
  4212 	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): revert glob code to r1.44
  4213 	as 2003-04-14 optimizations broke Windows98 glob'ing.
  4214 
  4215 	* README:	    bumped version to 8.4.3
  4216 	* generic/tcl.h:
  4217 	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
  4218 	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
  4219 	* unix/configure:

  4223 	* win/configure:
  4224 	* win/configure.in:
  4225 
  4226 	* doc/socket.n: nroff font handling correction.
  4227 
  4228 	* library/encoding/gb2312-raw.enc (new): This is the original
  4229 	gb2312.enc renamed to allow for it to still be used. This is needed by
  4230 	Tk (unix) because X fonts with gb2312* charsets really do want the
  4231 	original gb2312 encoding. [Bug 557030]
  4232 
  4233 2003-05-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  4234 
  4235 	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Values which can't be
  4236 	anything but wide shouldn't be demoted to long. [consequence of HEAD
  4237 	fixes for Bug 699060]
  4238 
  4239 2003-05-14  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  4240 
  4241 	* library/encoding/gb2312.enc: copy euc-cn.enc over original
  4242 	gb2312.enc. gb2312.enc appeared to not work as expected, and most uses
  4243 	of gb2312 really mean euc-cn (which may be the cause of the problem).
  4244 	[Bug 557030]
  4245 
  4246 	* generic/tclEnv.c (TclUnsetEnv): Another putenv() copy behavior
  4247 	problem repaired when compiling on windows and using microsoft's
  4248 	runtime. [Bug 736421] (gravereaux)
  4249 
  4250 2003-05-13  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  4251 
  4252 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: add decl for FsThrExitProc to suppress warnings
  4253 
  4254 2003-05-13  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  4255 
  4256 	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Removed unused variable to reduce
  4257 	compiler warnings. [Bug 664745]
  4258 
  4259 2003-05-13  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
  4260 
  4261 	* generic/tcl.decls:  Changed Tcl_JoinThread parameter name from "id"
  4262 	* generic/tclDecls.h: to "threadId". [Bug 732477]
  4263 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
  4264 	* win/tclWinThrd.c:
  4265 	* mac/tclMacThrd.c:
  4266 
  4267 2003-05-13  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  4268 
  4269 	* generic/tcl.decls:
  4270 	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c: added extended version of the
  4271 	Tcl_MacOSXOpenBundleResources() API taking an extra version number
  4272 	argument: Tcl_MacOSXOpenVersionedBundleResources(). This is needed to
  4273 	be able to access bundle resources in versioned frameworks such as Tcl
  4274 	and Tk, otherwise if multiple versions were installed, only the latest
  4275 	version's resources could be accessed. [Bug 736774]
  4276 
  4277 	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (Tcl_MacOSXGetLibraryPath): use new versioned
  4278 	bundle resource API to get tcl runtime library for TCL_VERSION.
  4279 	[Bug 736774]
  4280 
  4281 	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:
  4282 	* generic/tclStubInit.c: regen.
  4283 
  4284 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: worked around the issue of realpath() not being
  4285 	thread-safe on Mac OS X by defining NO_REALPATH for threaded builds on
  4286 	Mac OS X. [Bug 711232]
  4287 
  4288 2003-05-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  4289 
  4290 	* generic/tclInterp.c: (AliasObjCmd):	Added refCounting of the words
  4291 	* tests/interp.test (interp-33.1):	of the target of an interp
  4292 	alias during its execution. Also added test. [Bug 730244].
  4293 
  4294 	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclInvokeObjectCommand):	objv[argc] is no
  4295 	longer set to NULL (Tcl_CreateObjCommand docs already say that it
  4296 	should not be accessed).
  4297 
  4298 	* generic/tclObj.c (tclCmdNameType):  Corrected variable use of the
  4299 	otherValuePtr or the twoPtrValue.ptr1 fields to store a
  4300 	(ResolvedCmdName *) as the internal rep. [Bug 726018].
  4301 
  4302 	* doc/Eval.3:  Corrected prototype for Tcl_GlobalEvalObj [Bug 727622].
  4303 
  4304 2003-05-12  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  4305 
  4306 	* generic/tclVar.c (TclObjLookupVar): [Bug 735335] temporary fix,
  4307 	disabling usage of tclNsVarNameType.
  4308 	* tests/var.test (var-15.1): test for [Bug 735335]
  4309 
  4310 2003-05-10  Zoran Vasiljevic <zoran@archiware.com>
  4311 
  4312 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: corrected [Bug 723502]
  4313 
  4314 2003-05-10  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  4315 
  4316 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: ensure cd is thread-safe.
  4317 	[Bug 710642] (vasiljevic)
  4318 
  4319 	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialCloseProc): correct mem leak on closing a
  4320 	Windows serial port [Bug 718002] (schroedter)
  4321 
  4322 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): prevent string repeat crash
  4323 	when overflow sizes were given (throws error). [Bug 714106]
  4324 
  4325 2003-05-09  Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>
  4326 
  4327 	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (TclFreeAllocCache): Fixed memory leak
  4328 	caused by treating cachePtr as a TLS index [Bug 731754].
  4329 
  4330 	* win/tclAppInit.c (Tcl_AppInit): Fixed memory leaks caused by not
  4331 	freeing the memory allocated by setargv and the async handler created
  4332 	by Tcl_AppInit. An exit handler has been created that takes care of
  4333 	both leaks. In addition, Tcl_AppInit now uses ckalloc instead of
  4334 	Tcl_Alloc to allow for easier leak tracking and to be more consistent
  4335 	with the rest of the Tcl core [Bugs 733156, 733221].
  4336 
  4337 	* tools/encoding/txt2enc.c (main): Fixed memory leak caused by failing
  4338 	to free the memory used by the toUnicode array of strings [Bug 733221]
  4339 
  4340 2003-05-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  4341 
  4342 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: The -returnCodes option to [test]
  4343 	failed to recognize the symbolic name "ok" for return code 0.
  4344 
  4345 2003-05-05  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  4346 
  4347 	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_HideCommand): Fixed error message grammar
  4348 	and spelling.
  4349 
  4350 2003-04-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  4351 
  4352 	* generic/tclFileName.c: fix to bug reported privately by Jeff where,
  4353 	for example, 'glob -path {[tcl]} *' gets confused by the leading
  4354 	special character (which is escaped internally), and instead lists
  4355 	files in '/'. Bug only occurs on Windows where '\' is also a
  4356 	directory separator. (Bug has been around at least since Tcl 8.3.)
  4357 	* tests/fileName.test: added test for the above bug.
  4358 
  4359 2003-04-25  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  4360 
  4361 	* generic/tclBasic.c:  Tcl_EvalObjv() failed to honor the
  4362 	TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL flag when resolving command names. Tcl_EvalEx passed a
  4363 	string rep including leading whitespace and comments to
  4364 	TclEvalObjvInternal().
  4365 
  4366 2003-04-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
  4367 
  4368 	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Applied [Patch 727271]. This patch changes the
  4369 	code to catch any errors returned by the windows functions handling
  4370 	TLS ASAP instead of waiting to get some mysterious crash later on due
  4371 	to bogus pointers. Patch provided by Joe Mistachkin.
  4372 
  4373 	This is a stop-gap measure to deal with the low number of ?TLS slots
  4374 	provided by some of the variants of Windows (60-80).
  4375 
  4376 2003-04-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  4377 
  4378 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	When the return code of a test does
  4379 	not meet expectations, report that as the reason for test failure,
  4380 	and do not attempt to check the test result for correctness. [Bug
  4381 	725253]
  4382 
  4383 2003-04-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  4384 
  4385 	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprCallMathFunc): remove incorrect
  4386 	extraneous cast from Tcl_WideAsDouble.
  4387 
  4388 2003-04-18  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  4389 
  4390 	* doc/open.n:		Moved serial port options from [fconfigure]
  4391 	* doc/fconfigure.n:	to [open] as it is up to the creator of a
  4392 				channel to describe the channel's special
  4393 				config options. [Bug 679010]
  4394 
  4395 2003-04-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  4396 
  4397 	* generic/tcl.h		Made changes so that the "wideInt" Tcl_ObjType
  4398 	* generic/tclObj.c	is defined on all platforms, even those where
  4399 	* generic/tclPort.h	TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG is defined.  Also made
  4400 	the Tcl_Value struct have a wideValue field on all platforms.  This is
  4401 	a ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG platforms
  4402 	because that struct changes size.  This is the same TIP 72
  4403 	incompatibility that was seen on other platforms at the 8.4.0 release,
  4404 	when this change should have happened as well.	[Bug 713562]
  4405 
  4406 	* generic/tclInt.h:  New internal macros TclGetWide() and
  4407 	TclGetLongFromWide() to deal with both forms of the "wideInt"
  4408 	Tcl_ObjType, so that conditional TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG code
  4409 	is confined to the header file.
  4410 
  4411 	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	Replaced most coding that was conditional
  4412 	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:	on TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG with code that
  4413 	* generic/tclExecute.c: works across platforms, sometimes using
  4414 	* generic/tclTest.c:	the new macros above to do it.
  4415 	* generic/tclUtil.c:
  4416 	* generic/tclVar.c:
  4417 
  4418 2003-04-17  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  4419 
  4420 	* doc/socket.n: Added a paragraph to remind people to specify
  4421 	their encodings when using sockets. [Bug 630621]
  4422 
  4423 2003-04-16  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  4424 
  4425 	* doc/CrtMathFnc.3: Functions also have to deal with wide ints,
  4426 	but this was not documented. [Bug 709720]
  4427 
  4428 2003-04-15  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  4429 
  4430 	* win/tclWinTime.c: Corrected use of types to make compilation
  4431 	compatible with VC++5.
  4432 
  4433 2003-04-14  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  4434 
  4435 	* win/tclWinFile.c: added conditionals to restore compilation on
  4436 	VC++6, which was broken by recent changes.
  4437 
  4438 2003-04-14  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  4439 
  4440 	Merged various bug fixes from current cvs head:
  4441 
  4442 	* tests/cmdAH.test: better fix to test suite problem if /home is a
  4443 	symlink [Bug 703264]
  4444 
  4445 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix bad error message with 'cd ""' [Bug 704917]
  4446 	* win/tclWinFile.c:
  4447 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:
  4448 	* win/tclWinInt.h: allow Tcl to differentiate between reparse points
  4449 	which are symlinks and mounted volumes, and correctly handle the
  4450 	latter. This involves some elaborate code to find the actual drive
  4451 	letter (if possible) corresponding to a mounted volume. [Bug 697862]
  4452 	* tests/fileSystem.test: add constraints to stop tests running in
  4453 	ordinary tcl interpreter. [Bug 705675]
  4454 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: Some re-arrangement of code to bring it closer
  4455 	to CVS HEAD. No functional changes.
  4456 
  4457 	* tests/fCmd.test:
  4458 	* win/tclWinFile.c: added some filesystem optimisation to the
  4459 	'glob' implementation, and some new tests.

  4472 	* win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_WinTime, UpdateTimeEachSecond,
  4473 	(ResetCounterSamples, AccumulateSample, SAMPLES, TimeInfo): Made
  4474 	substantial changes to the phase-locked loop (replaced an IIR filter
  4475 	with an FIR one) in a quest for improved loop stability (Bug not
  4476 	logged at SF, but cited in private communication from Jeff Hobbs).

  4479 
  4480 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd,STR_IS_INT):  Corrected

  4487 2003-04-11  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
  4488 
  4489 	* generic/tclIO.c (UpdateInterest): When dropping interest in
  4490 	TCL_READABLE now dropping interest in TCL_EXCEPTION too. This fixes a
  4491 	bug where Expect detects eof on a file prematurely on Solaris 2.6 and
  4492 	higher. A much more complete explanation is in the code itself (40
  4493 	lines of comments for a one-line change :)

  4524 	variable.
  4525 	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Set new LIBFLAGSUFFIX that works like
  4526 	LIBSUFFIX, it is used when creating library names. The previous
  4527 	implementation would generate -ltclstub85 instead of -ltclstub85s when
  4528 	configured with --disable-shared.

  4563 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Added reporting during [configure
  4564 	-debug 1] operations to warn about multiple uses of the same test
  4565 	name. [FR 576693]  Replaced [regexp] and [regsub] with [string map]
  4566 	where possible. Thanks to David Welton. [Bugs 667456,667558]

  4570 	duplication. [Bug 710356]
  4571 
  4572 	* unix/dltest/pkg?.c: Changed all Tcl_InitStubs calls to pass argument

  4584 
  4585 	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:

  4588 	the DLL into a debug build. [Bug 708218] Thanks to Joe Mistachkin for
  4589 	the patch.
  4590 	* win/makefile.vc: Added quoting around the script name in the 'test'
  4591 	target; Joe Mistachkin insists that he has a configuration that fails
  4592 	to launch tcltest without it, and it appears harmless otherwise.

  4602 	apparently use a different representation for a pointer to a function
  4603 	within the same compilation unit and a pointer to a function in a
  4604 	different compilation unit. This causes checks like those in the
  4605 	original notifier procedures to fall into infinite loops. The fix is
  4606 	to store pointers to the original notifier procedures in a struct
  4607 	defined in the same compilation unit as the stubs tables, and compare
  4608 	against those values. [Bug 707174]

  4832 2003-02-20  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  4833 
  4834 	* doc/regsub.n: Typo fix [Bug 688943]
  4835 
  4836 2003-02-19  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  4837 
  4838 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpReaddir):
  4839 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: update to Bug 689100 patch to ensure that
  4840 	there is a defined value of MAXNAMLEN (aka NAME_MAX in POSIX) and
  4841 	that we have some buffer allocated.
  4842 
  4843 2003-02-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  4844 
  4845 	* generic/tclStringObj.c: restored Tcl_SetObjLength() side-effect of
  4846 	always invalidating unicode rep (if the obj has a string rep). Added
  4847 	hasUnicode flag to String struct, allows decoupling of validity of
  4848 	unicode rep from buffer size allocated to it (improves memory
  4849 	allocation efficiency). [Bugs 686782, 671138, 635200]
  4850 
  4851 	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
  4852 	* macosx/Makefile: reworked embedded build to no longer require
  4853 	relinking but to use install_name_tool instead to change the
  4854 	install_names for embedded frameworks. [Bug 644510]
  4855 
  4856 	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: preserve mod dates when running
  4857 	'make install' to build framework (avoids bogus rebuilds of dependent
  4858 	frameworks because tcl headers appear changed).
  4859 
  4860 	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-1.8): fix failure when system encoding is
  4861 	utf-8: use iso8859-1 encoding explicitly.
  4862 
  4863 2003-02-18  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  4864 
  4865 	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileExprWords): remove unused variable
  4866 	"range" [Bug 664743]
  4867 	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprSrandFunc): remove unused variable
  4868 	"result" [Bug 664743]
  4869 	* generic/tclStringObj.c (UpdateStringOfString): remove unused
  4870 	variable "length" [Bug 664751]
  4871 	* tests/execute.test (execute-7.30): fix for [Bug 664775]
  4872 
  4873 2003-02-18  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
  4874 
  4875 	* unix/tcl.m4: [Bug 651811] Added definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE and
  4876 	linkage of 'xnet' library to HP 11 branch. This kills a lot of
  4877 	socket-related failures in the testsuite when Tcl was compiled in 64
  4878 	bit mode (both PA-RISC 2.0W, and IA 64).
  4879 
  4880 	* unix/configure: Regenerated.
  4881 
  4882 2003-02-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  4883 
  4884 	* generic/tclIO.c (HaveVersion): correctly decl static
  4885 
  4886 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpReaddir): reduce size of name string in
  4887 	tsd to NAME_MAX instead of PATH_MAX. [Bug 689100] (waters)
  4888 
  4889 2003-02-18  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  4890 
  4891 	* unix/configure: Regen.
  4892 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Make sure -lpthread gets passed on
  4893 	the link line when checking for the pthread_attr_setstacksize symbol.
  4894 
  4895 2003-02-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  4896 
  4897 	* generic/tclTest.c: cleanup of new 'simplefs' test code, and better
  4898 	documentation.
  4899 
  4900 2003-02-17  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  4901 
  4902 	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand): fixing error in previous
  4903 	commit.
  4904 
  4905 2003-02-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  4906 
  4907 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode INST_STR_MATCH):
  4908 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd STR_MATCH):
  4909 	* generic/tclUtf.c (TclUniCharMatch):
  4910 	* generic/tclInt.decls:	 add private TclUniCharMatch function that
  4911 	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: does string match on counted unicode
  4912 	* generic/tclStubInit.c: strings.  Tcl_UniCharCaseMatch has the
  4913 	* tests/string.test:	 failing that it can't handle strings or
  4914 	* tests/stringComp.test: patterns with embedded NULLs.	Added
  4915 	tests that actually try strings/pats with NULLs.  TclUniCharMatch
  4916 	should be TIPed and made public in the next minor version rev.
  4917 
  4918 2003-02-17  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  4919 
  4920 	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand): 'oldFullName' object was not
  4921 	being freed on all function exits, causing a memory leak. [Bug 684756]
  4922 
  4923 2003-02-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  4924 
  4925 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetsObj): Minor change so that eol is only
  4926 	assigned at the top of the TCL_TRANSLATE_AUTO case block. The other
  4927 	cases assign eol so this does not change any functionality.
  4928 
  4929 2003-02-17  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
  4930 
  4931 	* tests/notify.test: Removed Windows line terminators. [Bug 687913].
  4932 
  4933 2003-02-15  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

  4944 	* tests/parseExpr.test (15.35):
  4945 	* tests/subst.test (8.6): Don Porter's fix for bad parsing of
  4946 	nested scripts [Bug 681841].
  4947 
  4948 2003-02-15  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
  4949 
  4950 	* tests/notify.test (new-file):
  4951 	* generic/tclTest.c (TclTest_Init, EventtestObjCmd, EventtestProc,
  4952 	(EventTestDeleteProc):
  4953 	* generic/tclNotify.c (Tcl_DeleteEvents): Fixed Tcl_DeleteEvents
  4954 	not to get a pointer smash when deleting the last event in the
  4955 	queue. Added test code in 'tcltest' and a new file of test cases
  4956 	'notify.test' to exercise this functionality; several of the new
  4957 	test cases fail for the original code and pass for the corrected
  4958 	code. [Bug 673714]
  4959 
  4960 	* unix/tclUnixTest.c (TestfilehandlerCmd): Corrected a couple
  4961 	of typos in error messages. [Bug 596027]
  4962 
  4963 2003-02-14  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  4964 
  4965 	* README:		Bumped to version 8.4.2.
  4966 	* generic/tcl.h:
  4967 	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
  4968 	* unix/configure:
  4969 	* unix/configure.in:
  4970 	* unix/tcl.m4:
  4971 	* unix/tcl.spec:
  4972 	* win/README.binary:
  4973 	* win/configure:
  4974 	* win/configure.in:
  4975 	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
  4976 
  4977 	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_GetCharLength): perf tweak
  4978 
  4979 	* unix/tcl.m4: correct HP-UX ia64 --enable-64bit build flags
  4980 
  4981 2003-02-14  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
  4982 
  4983 	* win/tclWinTime.c: Added code to test and compensate for forward
  4984 	leaps of the performance counter. See the MSDN Knowledge Base article
  4985 	Q274323 for the hardware problem that makes this necessary on certain
  4986 	machines.
  4987 	* tests/winTime.test: Revised winTime-2.1 - it had a tolerance of
  4988 	thousands of seconds, rather than milliseconds. (What's six orders of
  4989 	magnitude among friends?
  4990 
  4991 	Both the above changes are triggered by a problem reported at
  4992 	http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/ActiveTcl/1536811
  4993 	although the developers find it difficult to believe that it accounts
  4994 	for the observed behavior and suspect a fault in the RTC chip.
  4995 
  4996 2003-02-13  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
  4997 
  4998 	* win/tclWinInit.c: Added conversion from the system encoding to
  4999 	tcl_platform(user), so that it works with non-ASCII7 user names. [Bug
  5000 	685926]
  5001 
  5002 	* doc/tclsh.1: Added language to describe the handling of the
  5003 	end-of-file character \u001a embedded in a script file. [Bug 685485]
  5004 
  5005 2003-02-11  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  5006 
  5007 	* tests/fileName.test:
  5008 	* unix/tclUnixFile.c: fix for [Bug 685445] when using 'glob -l' on
  5009 	broken symbolic links. Added two new tests for this bug.
  5010 
  5011 2003-02-11  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
  5012 
  5013 	* tests/http.test: Corrected a problem where http-4.14 would fail when
  5014 	run in an environment with a proxy server. Replaced references to
  5015 	scriptics.com by tcl.tk.
  5016 
  5017 2003-02-11  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  5018 
  5019 	* tests/lsearch.test:
  5020 	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): protect against the case
  5021 	that lsearch -regepx list and pattern objects are equal.
  5022 
  5023 	* tests/stringObj.test:
  5024 	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_GetCharLength): correct ascii char
  5025 	opt of 2002-11-11 to not stop early on \x00. [Bug 684699]
  5026 
  5027 	* tests.parse.test: remove excess EOF whitespace
  5028 
  5029 	* generic/tclParse.c (CommandComplete): more paranoid check to
  5030 	break on (p >= end) instead of just (p == end).
  5031 
  5032 2003-02-11  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
  5033 
  5034 	* generic/tclParse.c (CommandComplete):
  5035 	* tests/parse.test: fix for [Bug 684744], by Don Porter.
  5036 
  5037 2003-02-11  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  5038 
  5039 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSJoinPath, Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath):
  5040 	(UpdateStringOfFsPath): revert the cwdLen == 0 check and instead
  5041 	follow a different code path in Tcl_FSJoinPath.
  5042 	(Tcl_FSConvertToPathType, Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath):
  5043 	(Tcl_FSGetFileSystemForPath): Update string rep of path objects
  5044 	before freeing the internal object. (darley)
  5045 
  5046 	* tests/fileSystem.test: added test 8.3
  5047 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath):
  5048 	(UpdateStringOfFsPath): handle the cwdLen == 0 case
  5049 
  5050 	* unix/tclUnixFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): simplify the hidden
  5051 	file match check.
  5052 
  5053 2003-02-10  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5054 
  5055 	* win/configure:
  5056 	* win/configure.in: Generate error when attempting to build under
  5057 	Cygwin. The Cygwin port of Tcl/Tk does not build and people are filing
  5058 	bug reports under the mistaken impression that someone is actually
  5059 	maintaining the Cygwin port. A post to comp.lang.tcl asking someone to
  5060 	volunteer as an area maintainer has generated no results. Closing
  5061 	[Bugs 680840, 630199, 634772] and marking as "Won't fix".
  5062 
  5063 2003-02-10  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  5064 
  5065 	* doc/append.n: Return value was not documented. [Bug 683188]
  5066 
  5067 2003-02-10  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  5068 
  5069 	* doc/FileSystem.3:
  5070 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
  5071 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  5072 	* tests/fileSystem.test:
  5073 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:
  5074 	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
  5075 	* win/tclWinFile.c: further filesystem optimization, applying
  5076 	[Patch 682500]. In particular, these code examples are faster now:
  5077 	    foreach f $flist { if {[file exists $f]} {file stat $f arr;...}}
  5078 	    foreach f [glob -dir $dir *] { # action and/or recursion on $f }
  5079 	    cd $dir
  5080 	    foreach f [glob *] { # action and/or recursion on $f }
  5081 	    cd ..
  5082 
  5083 	* generic/tclTest.c: Fix for [Bug 683181] where test suite left files
  5084 	in 'tmp'.
  5085 
  5086 2003-02-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  5087 
  5088 	* library/safe.tcl: code cleanup of eval and string comp use.
  5089 
  5090 2003-02-07  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  5091 
  5092 	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: cleanup long lines
  5093 	* win/tclWinFile.c: sped up pure 'glob' by a factor of 2.5 ('foreach f
  5094 	[glob *] { file exists $f }' is still slow)
  5095 	* tests/fileSystem.text:
  5096 	* tests/fileName.test: added new tests to ensure correct behaviour in
  5097 	optimized filesystem code.
  5098 
  5099 2003-02-07  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  5100 
  5101 	* generic/tclTest.c:
  5102 	* tests/fileSystem.text: fixed test 7.2 to avoid a possible crash, and
  5103 	not change the pwd.
  5104 
  5105 	* tests/http.text: added comment to test 4.15, that it may fail if you
  5106 	use a proxy server.
  5107 
  5108 2003-02-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5109 
  5110 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIncrCmd):
  5111 	* tests/incr.test: Don't include the text "(increment expression)" in
  5112 	the errorInfo generated by the compiled version of the incr command
  5113 	since it does not match the message generated by the non-compiled
  5114 	version of incr. It is also not possible to match this error output
  5115 	under Jacl, which does not support a compiler.
  5116 
  5117 2003-02-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5118 
  5119 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): When an error is
  5120 	encountered reading the increment value during a compiled call to
  5121 	incr, add a "(reading increment)" error string to the errorInfo
  5122 	variable. This makes the errorInfo variable set by the compiled incr
  5123 	command match the value set by the non-compiled version.
  5124 	* tests/incr-old.test: Change errorInfo result for the compiled incr
  5125 	command case to match the modified implementation.
  5126 	* tests/incr.test: Add tests to make sure the compiled and
  5127 	non-compiled errorInfo messages are the same.
  5128 
  5129 2003-02-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  5130 
  5131 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Filename arguments to [outputChannel]
  5132 	and [errorChannel] (also -outfile and -errfile) were [open]ed but
  5133 	never [closed]. Also, [cleanupTests] could remove output or error
  5134 	files. [Bug 676978].
  5135 	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: Bumped to version 2.2.2.
  5136 
  5137 2003-02-05  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5138 
  5139 	* tests/interp.test:
  5140 	* tests/set-old.test: Run test cases that depend on hash order through
  5141 	lsort so that the tests also pass under Jacl. Does not change test
  5142 	results under Tcl.
  5143 
  5144 2003-02-04  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  5145 
  5146 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
  5147 	* generic/tclEvent.c:
  5148 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  5149 	* mac/tclMacFCmd.c:
  5150 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:
  5151 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:
  5152 	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:
  5153 	* win/tclWinInit.c:
  5154 	* win/tclWinInt.h:
  5155 	* tests/fileSystem.test: fix to finalization/unloading/encoding issues
  5156 	to make filesystem much less dependent on encodings for its cleanup,
  5157 	and therefore allow it to be finalized later in the exit process. This
  5158 	fixes fileSystem.test-7.1. Also fixed one more bug in setting of
  5159 	modification dates of files which have undergone cross-platform
  5160 	copies. [Patch 676271]
  5161 
  5162 	* tests/basic.test:
  5163 	* tests/exec.test:
  5164 	* tests/fileName.test:
  5165 	* tests/io.test: fixed some test failures when tests are run from a
  5166 	directory containing spaces.
  5167 
  5168 	* tests/fileSystem.test:
  5169 	* generic/tclTest.c: added regression test for the modification
  5170 	date setting of cross-platform file copies.
  5171 
  5172 2003-02-03  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
  5173 
  5174 	* generic/tclBasic.c: Changed [trace add command] so that 'rename'
  5175 	callbacks get fully qualified names of the command. [Bug 651271].
  5176 	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
  5177 	* tests/trace.test: Modified the test cases for [trace add command] to
  5178 	expect fully qualified names on the 'rename' callbacks. Added a case
  5179 	for renaming a proc within a namespace.
  5180 	* doc/trace.n: Added language about use of fully qualified names in
  5181 	trace callbacks.
  5182 
  5183 2003-02-01  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
  5184 
  5185 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: Removed an unused variable that caused
  5186 	compiler warnings on SGI. [Bug 664379]
  5187 
  5188 	* generic/tclLoad.c: Changed the code so that if Tcl_StaticPackage is
  5189 	called to report the same package as being loaded in two interps, it
  5190 	shows up in [info loaded {}] in both of them (previously, it didn't
  5191 	appear in the static package list in the second.
  5192 
  5193 	* tests/load.test Added regression test for the above bug. [Bug
  5194 	670042]
  5195 
  5196 	* generic/tclClock.c: Fixed a bug that incorrectly allowed [clock
  5197 	clicks {}] and [clock clicks -] to be accepted as if they were [clock
  5198 	clicks -milliseconds].
  5199 
  5200 	* tests/clock.test: Added regression tests for the above bug. [Bug
  5201 	675356]
  5202 
  5203 	* tests/unixNotfy.test: Added cleanup of working files [Bug 675609]
  5204 
  5205 	* doc/Tcl.n: Added headings to the eleven paragraphs, to improve
  5206 	formatting in the tools that attempt to extract tables of contents
  5207 	from the manual pages. [Bug 627455]
  5208 
  5209 	* generic/tclClock.c: Expanded mutex protection around the setting of
  5210 	env(TZ) and the thread-unsafe call to tzset(). [Bug 656660]
  5211 
  5212 2003-01-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  5213 
  5214 	* tests/tcltest.test: Cleaned up management of file/directory
  5215 	creation/deletion to improve "-debug 1" output. [Bug 675614] The
  5216 	utility [slave] command failed to properly [list]-quote a constructed
  5217 	[open] command, causing failure when the pathname contained
  5218 	whitespace. [Bug 678415]
  5219 
  5220 	* tests/main.test: Stopped main.test from deleting existing file.
  5221 	Test suite should not delete files that already exist. [Bug 675660]
  5222 
  5223 2003-01-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  5224 
  5225 	* tests/main.test: Constrain tests that do not work on Windows. [Bug
  5226 	674387]
  5227 
  5228 2003-01-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  5229 
  5230 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to setting modification date in
  5231 	TclCrossFilesystemCopy. Also added 'panic' in
  5232 	Tcl_FSGetFileSystemForPath under illegal calling circumstances which
  5233 	lead to hard-to-track-down bugs.
  5234 
  5235 	* generic/tclTest.c: added test suite code to allow exercising a
  5236 	vfs-crash-on-exit bug in Tcl's finalization caused by the encodings
  5237 	being cleaned up before unloading occurs.
  5238 	* tests/fileSystem.test: added new 'knownBug' test 7.1 to demonstrate
  5239 	the crash on exit.
  5240 
  5241 2003-01-28  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5242 
  5243 	* generic/tcl.h: Add TCL_PREFIX_IDENT and TCL_DEBUG_IDENT, used only
  5244 	by TclpCreateProcess.
  5245 	* unix/Makefile.in: Define TCL_DBGX.
  5246 	* win/Makefile.in: Define TCL_DBGX.
  5247 	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): Check that the Tcl pipe dll
  5248 	actually exists in the Tcl bin directory and panic if it is not
  5249 	found. Incorporate TCL_DBGX into the Tcl pipe dll name. This fixes a
  5250 	really mysterious error that would show up when exec'ing a 16 bit
  5251 	application under Win95 or Win98 when Tcl was compiled with symbols.
  5252 	The error seemed to indicate that the executable could not be found,
  5253 	but it was actually the Tcl pipe dll that could not be found.
  5254 
  5255 2003-01-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5256 
  5257 	* win/README: Update msys+mingw URL to release 6. This version bundles
  5258 	gcc 3.
  5259 
  5260 2003-01-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5261 
  5262 	* win/configure: Regen.
  5263 	* win/configure.in: Add test that checks to see if the compiler can
  5264 	cast to a union type.
  5265 	* win/tclWinTime.c: Squelch compiler warning about union initializer
  5266 	by casting to union type when compiling with gcc.
  5267 
  5268 2003-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5269 
  5270 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel): Invoke
  5271 	TclpCutFileChannel and TclpSpliceFileChannel.
  5272 	* generic/tclInt.h: Declare TclpCutFileChannel and
  5273 	TclpSpliceFileChannel.
  5274 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileCloseProc, TclpOpenFileChannel,
  5275 	(Tcl_MakeFileChannel, TclpCutFileChannel,
  5276 	(TclpSpliceFileChannel): Implement thread load data cut and splice for
  5277 	file channels. This avoids an invalid memory ref when compiled with
  5278 	-DDEPRECATED.
  5279 	* win/tclWinChan.c (FileCloseProc, TclpCutFileChannel,
  5280 	(TclpSpliceFileChannel): Implement thread load data cut and splice for
  5281 	file channels. This avoids an invalid memory ref that was showing up
  5282 	in the thread extension.
  5283 
  5284 2003-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5285 
  5286 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace, squelch_warnings):
  5287 	* win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel, squelch_warnings):
  5288 	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, DoCopyFile, squelch_warnings):
  5289 	Re-implement inline ASM SEH handlers for gcc. The esp and ebp
  5290 	registers are now saved on the stack instead of in global variables so
  5291 	that the code is thread safe. Add additional checks when TCL_MEM_DEBUG
  5292 	is defined to be sure the values were recovered from the stack
  5293 	properly. Remove squelch_warnings functions and add a dummy call in
  5294 	the handler methods to squelch compiler warnings.
  5295 
  5296 2003-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5297 
  5298 	* win/configure:
  5299 	* win/configure.in: Define HAVE_ALLOCA_GCC_INLINE when we detect that
  5300 	no alloca function is found in malloc.h and we are compiling with
  5301 	GCC. Remove HAVE_NO_ALLOC_DECL define.
  5302 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace): Don't define alloca as a
  5303 	cdecl function. Doing this caused a tricky runtime bug because the
  5304 	_alloca function expects the size argument to be passed in a register
  5305 	and not on the stack. To fix this problem, we use inline ASM when
  5306 	compiling with gcc to invoke _alloca with the size argument loaded
  5307 	into a register.
  5308 
  5309 2003-01-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  5310 
  5311 	* win/tclWinDde.c (Dde_Init): clarified use of tsdPtr.
  5312 	(DdeServerProc): better refcount handling of returnPackagePtr.
  5313 
  5314 	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): revert finalize change on
  5315 	2002-12-04 to correct the issue with extensions that have TSD needing
  5316 	to finalize that before they are unloaded. This issue needs further
  5317 	clarification.
  5318 
  5319 	* tests/unixFCmd.test: only do groups check on unix
  5320 
  5321 2003-01-24  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  5322 
  5323 	* generic/tclStringObj.c: proper fixes for Tcl_SetObjLength and
  5324 	Tcl_AttemptSetObjectLength dealing with string objects with both
  5325 	pure-unicode and normal internal representations. Previous fix didn't
  5326 	handle all cases correctly.
  5327 	* generic/tclIO.c: Add 'Tcl_GetString()' to ensure the object has a
  5328 	valid 'objPtr->bytes' field before manipulating it directly.
  5329 
  5330 	This fixes [Bug 635200] and [Bug 671138], but may reduce performance
  5331 	of Unicode string handling in some cases. A further patch will be
  5332 	applied to address this, once the code is known to be correct.
  5333 
  5334 2003-01-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5335 
  5336 	* win/configure: Regen.
  5337 	* win/configure.in: Add test to see if alloca is undefined in
  5338 	malloc.h.
  5339 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace): Rework the SEH exception
  5340 	handler logic to avoid using the stack since alloca will modify the
  5341 	stack. This was causing a nasty bug that would set the exception
  5342 	handler to 0 because it tried to pop the previous exception handler
  5343 	off the top of the stack.
  5344 
  5345 2003-01-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  5346 
  5347 	* doc/lset.n: Fixed fault in return values from lset in documentation
  5348 	examples [Bug 658463] and tidied up a bit at the same time.
  5349 
  5350 2003-01-21  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
  5351 	* doc/namespace.n (namespace inscope): Clarified documentation
  5352 	[Patch 670110]
  5353 
  5354 2003-01-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5355 
  5356 	* win/configure: Regen.
  5357 	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Set SHLIB_SUFFIX so that
  5358 	TCL_SHLIB_SUFFIX will be set to a useful value in the generated
  5359 	tclConfig.sh. Set SHLIB_LD_LIBS to "" or '${LIBS}' based on the
  5360 	--enable-shared flag. This matches the UNIX implementation.
  5361 
  5362 2003-01-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  5363 
  5364 	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: change %ud to %u as appropriate.
  5365 
  5366 2003-01-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5367 
  5368 	* win/tclWinDde.c (DdeServerProc): Deallocate the Tcl_Obj returned by
  5369 	ExecuteRemoteObject if it was not saved in a connection object.
  5370 
  5371 2003-01-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5372 
  5373 	* generic/tcl.h: Revert earlier change that defined TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE
  5374 	as long long and TCL_LL_MODIFIER as L when compiling with mingw. This
  5375 	change ended up causing some test case failures when compiling with
  5376 	mingw.
  5377 	* generic/tclObj.c (UpdateStringOfWideInt): Describe the warning
  5378 	generated by mingw and why it needs to be ignored so that someone is
  5379 	not tempted to "fix" this problem again in the future.
  5380 
  5381 2003-01-16  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  5382 
  5383 	* generic/tclStringObj.c: Tcl_SetObjLength fix for when the object has
  5384 	a unicode string rep. Fixes [Bug 635200]
  5385 	* tests/stringObj.test: removed 'knownBug' constraint from test 14.1
  5386 	now that this bug is fixed.
  5387 
  5388 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  5389 	* generic/tclBasic.c:
  5390 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.z:
  5391 	* tests/trace.test: execution and command tracing bug fixes and
  5392 	cleanup. In particular fixed [Bugs 655645, 615043, 571385]
  5393 	  - fixed some subtle cleanup problems with tracing. This required
  5394 	    replacing Tcl_Preserve/Tcl_Release with a more robust refCount
  5395 	    approach. Solves at least one known crash caused by memory
  5396 	    corruption.
  5397 	  - fixed some confusion in the code between new style traces (Tcl
  5398 	    8.4) and the very limited 'Tcl_CreateTrace' which existed before.
  5399 	  - made behaviour consistent with documentation (several tests even
  5400 	    contradicted the documentation before).
  5401 	  - fixed some minor error message details
  5402 	  - added a number of new tests
  5403 
  5404 2003-01-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  5405 
  5406 	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialOutputProc): add casts for bytesWritten to
  5407 	allow strict compilation (no warnings).
  5408 
  5409 	* tests/winDde.test:
  5410 	* win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Prevent crash when empty service
  5411 	name is passed to 'dde eval' and goto errorNoResult in request and
  5412 	poke error cases to free up any allocated data.
  5413 
  5414 2003-01-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5415 
  5416 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (squelch_warnings): Squelch compiler warnings from
  5417 	SEH ASM code.
  5418 	* win/tclWinChan.c (squelch_warnings): Squelch compiler warnings from
  5419 	SEH ASM code.
  5420 	* win/tclWinDde.c: Add casts to avoid compiler warnings. Pass pointer
  5421 	to DWORD instead of int to avoid compiler warnings.
  5422 	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (squelch_warnings): Add casts and fixup decls to
  5423 	avoid compiler warnings. Squelch compiler warnings from SEH ASM code.
  5424 	* win/tclWinFile.c: Add casts and fixup decls to avoid compiler
  5425 	warnings. Remove unused variable.
  5426 	* win/tclWinNotify.c: Declare as DWORD instead of int to avoid
  5427 	compiler warning.
  5428 	* win/tclWinReg.c: Add casts to avoid compiler warning. Fix assignment
  5429 	in if expression bug.
  5430 	* win/tclWinSerial.c: Add casts to avoid compiler warnings. Remove
  5431 	unused variable.
  5432 	* win/tclWinSock.c: Add casts and fixup decls to avoid compiler
  5433 	warnings.
  5434 
  5435 2003-01-14  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  5436 
  5437 	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): corrected typo that incorrectly
  5438 	conditionally defined savedTZEnv and savedTimeZone.
  5439 
  5440 2003-01-13  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5441 
  5442 	Fix mingw build problems and compiler warnings.
  5443 
  5444 	* generic/tcl.h: Add if defined(__MINGW32__) check to code that sets
  5445 	the TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE and TCL_LL_MODIFIER.
  5446 	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): Don't define savedTimeZone and
  5447 	savedTZEnv if we are not going to use them.
  5448 	* generic/tclEnv.c: Add cast to avoid warning.
  5449 	* win/tclWinChan.c: Use DWORD instead of int to avoid compiler warning
  5450 	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Only define allocLock, allocLockPtr, and dataKey
  5451 	when TCL_THREADS is defined. This avoid a compiler warning about
  5452 	unused variables.
  5453 
  5454 2003-01-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5455 
  5456 	* win/README: Update msys + mingw URL, the new release includes the
  5457 	released 1.0.8 version of msys which includes a number of bug fixes.
  5458 
  5459 2003-01-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5460 
  5461 	* win/configure: Regen.
  5462 	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Pull in addition of shell32.lib to
  5463 	LIBS_GUI that was added to the Tk tcl.m4 but never made it back into
  5464 	the Tcl version.
  5465 
  5466 2003-01-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5467 
  5468 	* generic/tcl.h: Skip Tcl's define of CHAR, SHORT, and LONG when
  5469 	HAVE_WINNT_IGNORE_VOID is defined. This avoids a bunch of compiler
  5470 	warnings when building with Cygwin or Mingw.
  5471 	* win/configure: Regen.
  5472 	* win/configure.in: Define HAVE_WINNT_IGNORE_VOID when we detect a
  5473 	winnt.h that still defines CHAR, SHORT, and LONG when VOID has already
  5474 	been defined.
  5475 	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_LOAD_TCLCONFIG): Subst the TCL_DEFS loaded from
  5476 	tclConfig.sh so that Tcl defines can make it into the Tk Makefile.
  5477 
  5478 2003-01-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5479 
  5480 	* win/configure: Regen.
  5481 	* win/configure.in: Check for typedefs like LPFN_ACCEPT in winsock2.h
  5482 	and define HAVE_NO_LPFN_DECLS if not found.
  5483 	* win/tclWinSock.c: Define LPFN_* typedefs if HAVE_NO_LPFN_DECLS is
  5484 	defined. This fixes the build under Mingw and Cygwin, it was broken by
  5485 	the changes made on 2002-11-26.
  5486 
  5487 2003-01-10  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  5488 
  5489 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
  5490 	* win/tclWinInt.h:
  5491 	* win/tclWinInit.c: fix to new WinTcl crash on exit with vfs,
  5492 	introduced on 2002-12-06. Encodings must be cleaned up after the
  5493 	filesystem.
  5494 
  5495 	* win/makefile.vc: fix to minor VC++ 5.2 syntax problem
  5496 
  5497 2003-01-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  5498 
  5499 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompilerReturnCmd): Corrected off-by-one
  5500 	problem with recent commit. [Bug 633204]
  5501 
  5502 2003-01-09  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  5503 
  5504 	* generic/tclFileName.c: remove unused variable 'macSpecialCase' [Bug
  5505 	664749]
  5506 
  5507 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
  5508 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  5509 	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
  5510 	* mac/tclMacFile.c:

  5512 	* win/tclWinInt.h:
  5513 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:
  5514 	* tests/cmdAH.test: fix to non-ascii chars in paths when setting mtime
  5515 	and atime through 'file (a|m)time $path $time'. [Bug 634151]
  5516 
  5517 2003-01-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  5518 
  5519 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExprFloatError): Use the IS_NAN macro for
  5520 	greater clarity of code.
  5521 
  5522 2003-01-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  5523 
  5524 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd):
  5525 	* tests/compile.test:	Corrects failure of bytecompiled [catch
  5526 	{return}] to have result TCL_RETURN (not TCL_OK) [Bug 633204]. This
  5527 	patch is a workaround for 8.4.X. A new opcode INST_RETURN is a better
  5528 	long term solution for 8.5 and later.
  5529 
  5530 2003-01-04  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  5531 
  5532 	* win/makefile.vc:
  5533 	* win/rules.vc: Fixed INSTALLDIR macro problem that blanked itself by
  5534 	accident causing the install target to put the tree at the root of the
  5535 	drive built on. Whoops..
  5536 
  5537 	Renamed the 'linkexten' option to be 'staticpkg'. Added 'thrdalloc' to
  5538 	allow the switching _on_ of the thread allocator. Under testing, I
  5539 	found it not to be benificial under windows for the purpose of the
  5540 	application I was using it for. It was more important for this app
  5541 	that resources for tcl threads be returned to the system rather than
  5542 	saved/moved to the global recycler. Be extra clean or extra fast for
  5543 	the default threaded build? Let's move to clean and allow it to be
  5544 	switched on for users who find it benificial for their use of threads.
  5545 
  5546 2002-12-18  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  5547 
  5548 	* win/makefile.vc: some uses of xcopy swapped to the @$(CPY) macro.
  5549 	Reported by Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>.
  5550 
  5551 2002-12-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  5552 
  5553 	* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier, Tcl_SetServiceMode):
  5554 	(Tcl_ThreadAlert): Check that the stub functions are non-NULL before
  5555 	calling them. They could be set to NULL by Tcl_SetNotifier.
  5556 
  5557 2002-12-16  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  5558 
  5559 	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCleanupChildren):
  5560 	* tests/winPipe.test:
  5561 	* win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid):
  5562 	* win/tclWinTest.c:  Gave Tcl_WaitPid the ability to return a Win32
  5563 	exception code translated into a posix style SIG*. This allows [close]
  5564 	to report "CHILDKILLED" without the meaning getting lost in a
  5565 	truncated exit code. In TclCleanupChildren(), TclpGetPid() had to get
  5566 	moved to before Tcl_WaitPid() as the the handle is removed from the
  5567 	list taking away the ability to get the process id after the wait is
  5568 	done. This shouldn't effect the unix implimentaion unless waitpid is
  5569 	called with a pid of zero, meaning "any". I don't think it is..

  5571 2002-12-13  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  5572

  5583 	* tests/proc.test (proc-6.1): Test for Bug 647307
  5584 
  5585 	* generic/tclParseExpr.c (TclParseInteger):  Return 1 for the
  5586 	string "0x" (recognize leading "0" as an integer). [Bug 648441].
  5587 	* tests/parseExpr.test (parseExpr-19.1): Test for Bug 648441.
  5588 
  5589 2002-12-09  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  5590 
  5591 	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpMasterUnlock):
  5592 	* generic/tclThread.c (TclFinalizeThreadData): TclpMasterUnlock must
  5593 	exist and be called unconditional of TCL_THREADS. [Bug 651139]
  5594 
  5595 2002-12-08  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  5596 
  5597 	* win/tclWinSock.c (SocketThreadExitHandler, InitSockets):  Check that
  5598 	the tsdPtr is valid before dereferencing as we call it from the exit
  5599 	handler, too [Bug 650353]. Another WSAStartup() loaded version
  5600 	comparison byte swap issue fixed. Although 0x0101 byte swapped is
  5601 	still 0x0101, properly claiming which is major/minor is more correct.
  5602 
  5603 2002-12-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  5604 
  5605 	* generic/tclStubInit.c: regen
  5606 	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: regen
  5607 	* generic/tclInt.decls: added TclWinResetInterface
  5608 
  5609 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclWinResetInterfaces):
  5610 	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings, WinEncodingsCleanup):
  5611 	add exit handler that resets the encoding information to a state where
  5612 	we can reuse Tcl. Following these changes, it is possible to reuse Tcl
  5613 	(following Tcl_FindExecutable or Tcl_CreateInterp) following a
  5614 	Tcl_Finalize.
  5615 
  5616 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclFinalizeFilesystem): reset statics to their
  5617 	original values on finalize to allow reuse of the library.
  5618 
  5619 2002-12-04  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  5620 
  5621 	* win/tclWinPipe.c: reverted back to -r1.27 due to numerous test
  5622 	failures that need to be resolved first. The idea was good, but the
  5623 	details aren't.
  5624 
  5625 2002-12-04  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  5626 
  5627 	* win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid): When a process exits with an
  5628 	exception, pass this notice on to the caller with a SIG* code rather
  5629 	than truncating the exit code and missing the meaning.  This allows
  5630 	TclCleanupChildren() to report "CHILDKILLED".
  5631 
  5632 	This has a different behavior than unix in that closing the read pipe
  5633 	to a process sends the SIGPIPE signal which is returned as a SIGPIPE
  5634 	exit status.  On windows, we send the process a CTRL_BREAK_EVENT and
  5635 	get back a CONTROL_C_EXIT which is documented to mean a SIGINT which
  5636 	seems wrong as a system, but is the correct exit status.
  5637 
  5638 2002-12-04  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  5639 
  5640 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to redirected 'load' in virtual filesystem
  5641 	for some Unix systems.
  5642 
  5643 	* generic/tclEvent.c: the filesystem must be cleaned up before the
  5644 	encoding subsystem because it needs access to encodings. Fixes crash
  5645 	on exit observed in embedded applications.
  5646 
  5647 	* generic/tclTestObj.c: patch omitted from previous change of
  5648 	2002-11-13
  5649 
  5650 2002-12-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  5651 
  5652 	* generic/tclStubLib.c (Tcl_InitStubs): prevent the cached check of
  5653 	tclStubsPtr to allow for repeated load/unload of the Tcl dll by
  5654 	hosting apps. [Bug 615304]
  5655 
  5656 2002-12-03  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  5657 
  5658 	* win/tclAppInit.c (sigHandler): Protect from trying to close a NULL
  5659 	handle.
  5660 
  5661 	* win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc, TclpCreateProcess): Send a real
  5662 	Win32 signal (CTRL_C_EVENT) when the read channel is brought down to
  5663 	alert the child to close on its side. Start the process with
  5664 	CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP to allow the ability to send these signals.
  5665 	The following test case now brings down the child without the use of
  5666 	an external [kill] command.
  5667 
  5668 		% set p [open "|[info name]" w+]
  5669 		file8d5380
  5670 		% pid $p
  5671 		2876
  5672 		% close $p     <- now doesn't block in Tcl_WaitPid()
  5673 		%
  5674 
  5675 	* win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc): Changed CTRL_C_EVENT to
  5676 	CTRL_BREAK_EVENT as it can't be ignored by the child and proved to
  5677 	work on [open "|netstat 1" w+] where CTRL_C_EVENT didn't.
  5678 
  5679 2002-11-27  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  5680 
  5681 	* win/tclWinPort.h: Don't turn off winsock prototypes! TclX didn't
  5682 	like it. Even though the core doesn't use the prototypes, do offer
  5683 	them.
  5684 
  5685 	* win/tclWinSock.c: Removed shutdown() from the function table as it
  5686 	wasn't referenced anywhere and cleaned-up some casting that that
  5687 	wasn't needed.
  5688 
  5689 	* win/tclWinSock.c: WSAStartup() loaded version comparison error which
  5690 	resulted in 2.0 looking less than 1.1.
  5691 
  5692 	* win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel): return of DuplicateHandle()
  5693 	incorrectly used [Bug 618852].
  5694 
  5695 2002-11-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  5696 
  5697 	* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclFinalizeEncodingSubsystem): properly
  5698 	cleanup all encodings by using Tcl_FirstHashEntry in the while loop.
  5699 
  5700 	* unix/Makefile.in (valgrind): add simple valgrind target
  5701 
  5702 	* tests/exec.test: unset path var to allow singleproc testing
  5703 
  5704 	* generic/tclInterp.c (AliasCreate): preserve/release interps to
  5705 	prevent possible FMR error in bad alias cases.
  5706 
  5707 2002-11-26  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  5708 
  5709 	* win/tclWinPort.h:
  5710 	* win/tclWinSock.c:  This patch does two things:
  5711 
  5712 	1) Cleans-up the winsock typedefs by using the typedefs provided by
  5713 	winsock2.h. This has no effect on how winsock is initialized; just
  5714 	makes the source code easier to read. [Patch 561305, 561301]
  5715 
  5716 	2) Revamps how the socket message handler thread is brought up and
  5717 	down to allow for cleaner exits without the use of TerminateThread().
  5718 	TerminateThread is evil. No attempt has been made to resolve [Bug
  5719 	593810] which may need a new channel driver version for adding a
  5720 	registering function within the transfered thread to init the handler
  5721 	thread. IOW, initialization of the TSD structure is getting bypassed
  5722 	through the thread extension's [thread::transfer] command.
  5723 
  5724 2002-11-26  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  5725 
  5726 	* win/tclWinConsole.c:
  5727 	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
  5728 	* win/tclWinSerial.c:
  5729 	* win/tclWinSock.c:
  5730 	* win/tclWinThrd.c:
  5731 	* win/tclWinTime.c: General cleanup of all worker threads used by the
  5732 	channel drivers. Eliminates the normal case where the worker thread is
  5733 	terminated ('cept the winsock one). Instead, use kernel events to
  5734 	signal a clean exit. Only when the worker thread is blocked on an I/O
  5735 	call is the thread terminated. Essentially, this makes all other
  5736 	channel worker threads behave like the PipeReaderThread() function for
  5737 	it's cleaner exit behavior. This appears to fix [Bug 597924] but needs
  5738 	3rd party confirmation to close the issue.
  5739 
  5740 2002-11-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5741 
  5742 	* win/README: Update msys build env URL. This release #4 build both
  5743 	tcl and tk without problems.
  5744 
  5745 2002-11-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  5746 
  5747 	* library/init.tcl:	    code cleanup to reduce use of
  5748 	* library/opt/optparse.tcl: string compare
  5749 
  5750 	* tests/interp.test: interp-14.4
  5751 	* generic/tclInterp.c (TclPreventAliasLoop): prevent seg fault when
  5752 	creating an alias command over the interp name. [Bug 641195]
  5753 
  5754 2002-11-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  5755 
  5756 	* generic/tclUtil.c (SetEndOffsetFromAny): handle integer offset
  5757 	after the "end-" prefix.
  5758 
  5759 	* generic/get.test:
  5760 	* generic/string.test:
  5761 	* generic/tclObj.c (SetIntFromAny, SetWideIntFromAny):
  5762 	* generic/tclGet.c (TclGetLong, Tcl_GetInt): simplify sign handling
  5763 	before calling strtoul(l). [Bug 634856]
  5764 
  5765 2002-11-18  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  5766 
  5767 	* win/tclWinThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread/TclpThreadExit): Fixed improper
  5768 	compiler macros that missed the VC++ compiler. This resulted in VC++
  5769 	builds using CreateThread()/ExitThread() in place of the proper
  5770 	_beginthreadex()/_endthreadex(). This was a large error and am
  5771 	surprised I missed seeing it earlier.
  5772 
  5773 2002-11-13  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  5774 
  5775 	* generic/regexpComp.test: added tests 22.*
  5776 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): add left and right
  5777 	anchoring (^ and $) recognition and check starting or ending .* to
  5778 	extend the number of REs that can be compiled to string match or
  5779 	string equal.
  5780 
  5781 2002-11-13  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  5782 
  5783 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
  5784 	* tests/trace.test: applied patch from Hemang Levana to fix [Bug
  5785 	615043] in execution traces with 'return -code error'.
  5786 
  5787 	* generic/tclTestObj.c:
  5788 	* tests/stringObj.test: added 'knownBug' test for [Bug 635200]
  5789 	* generic/tclStringObj.c: corrected typos in comments
  5790 
  5791 	* generic/tclFileName.c:
  5792 	* tests/fileName.test: applied patch for bug reported against tclvfs
  5793 	concerning handling of Windows serial ports like 'com1', 'lpt3' by the
  5794 	virtual filesystem code.
  5795 
  5796 	* doc/RegExp.3: clarification of the 'extendMatch' return values.
  5797 
  5798 2002-11-11  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  5799 
  5800 	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_Backslash): use TclUtfToUniChar.
  5801 	(Tcl_StringCaseMatch): use TclUtfToUniChar and add further
  5802 	optimizations for the one-byte/char case.
  5803 
  5804 	* generic/tclUtf.c: make use of TclUtfToUniChar macro throughout the
  5805 	functions, and add extra optimization to Tcl_NumUtfChars for
  5806 	one-byte/char case.
  5807 
  5808 	* generic/tclVar.c (DisposeTraceResult, CallVarTraces): add proper
  5809 	static declarations.
  5810 
  5811 	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_GetCharLength): optimize for the ascii
  5812 	char case.
  5813 	(Tcl_GetUniChar): remove unnecessary use of Tcl_UtfToUniChar.
  5814 	(FillUnicodeRep): Use TclUtfToUniChar.
  5815 
  5816 	* generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey): move string++ lower to save an
  5817 	instruction.
  5818 
  5819 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): improve INST_STR_CMP to
  5820 	use memcmp in the one-byte/char case, also use direct index for
  5821 	INST_STR_INDEX in that case.
  5822 
  5823 	* generic/tclEncoding.c (UtfToUtfProc, UtfToUnicodeProc):
  5824 	(TableFromUtfProc, EscapeFromUtfProc): Use TclUtfToUniChar.
  5825 	(UnicodeToUtfProc, TableToUtfProc): add 1-byte char optimizations
  5826 	for Tcl_UniCharToUtf call. These improve encoded channel conversion
  5827 	speeds by up to 20%.
  5828 
  5829 	* tests/split.test: added 1-char string split tests
  5830 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SplitObjCmd): Use TclUtfToUniChar. Also
  5831 	added a special case for single-ascii-char splits.
  5832 	(Tcl_StringObjCmd): Use TclUtfToUniChar. For STR_RANGE, support
  5833 	getting ranges of ByteArrays (reverts change from 2000-05-26).
  5834 	(TraceExecutionProc) add proper static declaration.
  5835 
  5836 	* generic/tclInt.h: add macro version of Tcl_UtfToUniChar
  5837 	(TclUtfToUniChar) that does the one-byte utf-char check without
  5838 	calling Tcl_UtfToUniChar, for use by the core. This brings notable
  5839 	speedups for primarily ascii string handling.
  5840 
  5841 	* generic/tcl.h (TCL_PATCH_LEVEL): bump to 8.4.1.1 for patchlevel
  5842 	only. This interim number will only be reflected by [info patchlevel]
  5843 
  5844 2002-11-11  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  5845 
  5846 	* doc/Tcl.n: Corrected indentation of the new language. Oops.
  5847 
  5848 2002-11-10  Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
  5849 
  5850 	* doc/Tcl.n: Added language to the Endekalogue to make it clear that
  5851 	substitutions always take place from left to right. [Bug 635644]
  5852 
  5853 2002-11-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5854 
  5855 	* changes: Note TclInExit TclInThreadExit changes.
  5856 	* generic/tclEvent.c (TclInExit, TclInThreadExit):
  5857 	Split out functionality of TclInExit to make it clear which one should
  5858 	be called in each situation.
  5859 	* generic/tclInt.decls: Declare TclInThreadExit.
  5860 	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: Regen.
  5861 	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regen.
  5862 	* mac/tclMacChan.c (StdIOClose):
  5863 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileCloseProc):
  5864 	* win/tclWinChan.c (FileCloseProc):
  5865 	* win/tclWinConsole.c (ConsoleCloseProc):
  5866 	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCloseFile):
  5867 	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialCloseProc): Invoke the new TclInThreadExit
  5868 	method instead of TclInExit.
  5869 
  5870 2002-11-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  5871 
  5872 	* unix/configure: Regen.
  5873 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Generate a fatal configure error if
  5874 	no ar program can be found on the path. [Bug 582039]
  5875 	* win/configure: Regen.
  5876 	* win/configure.in: Check that AR, RANLIB, and RC are found on the
  5877 	path when building with gcc.
  5878 
  5879 2002-11-03  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  5880 
  5881 	* win/tclAppInit.c:  Calls Registry_Init() and Dde_Init() when
  5882 	STATIC_BUILD and TCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES macros are set.
  5883 
  5884 	* win/makefile.vc:
  5885 	* win/rules.vc: linkexten option now sets the TCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES
  5886 	macro which also adds the registry and dde object files to the link
  5887 	of the shell. [Patch 479697]  Also factored some additional macros
  5888 	that will be helpful for extension authors. Version grepping of tcl.h
  5889 	will need to be added to complete this.
  5890 
  5891 	* win/buildall.vc.bat: Added more descriptive commentary.
  5892 
  5893 2002-11-01  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  5894 
  5895 	* win/tclWinReg.c: Changed the Tcl_PkgProvide() line to declare the
  5896 	registry extension at version 1.1 from 1.0.
  5897 
  5898 2002-10-31  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
  5899 
  5900 	* library/word.tcl: Changed $tcl_platform to $::tcl_platform to avoid
  5901 	possible scope trouble.
  5902 
  5903 2002-10-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  5904 
  5905 	* win/tclWinInt.h:
  5906 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: added comments about certain NULL function
  5907 	pointers which will be filled in when Tcl_FindExecutable is called, so
  5908 	that users don't report invalid bugs on this topic. (No code changes
  5909 	at all).
  5910 
  5911 2002-10-29  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  5912 
  5913 	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpFindSymbol): pass all dyld error messages
  5914 	upstream [Bug 627546].
  5915 
  5916 2002-10-28  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
  5917 
  5918 	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:
  5919 	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Changed the hardwired debug suffix (d) to
  5920 	the correct suffix (g).
  5921 
  5922 2002-10-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  5923 
  5924 	* library/auto.tcl:	Converted the Mac-specific [package unknown]
  5925 	* library/init.tcl:	behavior to use a chaining mechanism to extend
  5926 	* library/package.tcl:	the default [tclPkgUnknown]. [Bug 627660]
  5927 	* library/tclIndex:	[Patch 624509] (steffen)
  5928 
  5929 2002-10-26  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  5930 
  5931 	* win/makefile.vc: xcopy on NT 4.0 doesn't support the /Y switch
  5932 	(overwrite). Added logic to handle this. [Bug 618019]
  5933 
  5934 2002-10-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  5935 
  5936 	* generic/tclInt.h: Removed definitions of obsolete HistoryEvent and
  5937 	HistoryRev structures (the history mechanism has been written in Tcl
  5938 	for some time now).
  5939 
  5940 2002-10-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  5941 
  5942 	*** 8.4.1 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
  5943 
  5944 	* changes: updated for 8.4.1 release
  5945 
  5946 	* win/Makefile.in: removed @MEM_DEBUG_FLAGS@ subst.
  5947 	* win/configure: regen
  5948 	* win/configure.in: removed SC_ENABLE_MEMDEBUG call
  5949 	* win/tcl.m4: replaced SC_ENABLE_MEMDEBUG with a more intelligent
  5950 	SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS that takes yes|no|mem|compile|all as options now.
  5951 
  5952 2002-10-22  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  5953 
  5954 	* library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary):
  5955 	* library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown): on macosx, search inside the
  5956 	Resources/Scripts subdirectory of any potential package directory
  5957 	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: add standard Frameworks dirs to
  5958 	TCL_PACKAGE_PATH make argument.
  5959 	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetVariables): on macosx, add embedded
  5960 	framework dirs to tcl_pkgPath: @executable_path/../Frameworks and
  5961 	@executable_path/../PrivateFrameworks (if they exist), as well as the
  5962 	dirs in DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH (if set). [Patch 624509] use standard
  5963 	MAXPATHLEN instead of literal 1024
  5964 
  5965 2002-10-22  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  5966 
  5967 	* doc/StringObj.3, doc/Object.3: Documented that Tcl_Obj's

  6064 2002-10-09  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  6065 
  6066 	* win/tclWinTime.c: Added code to set an exit handler that terminates

  6090 	were inconsistent with <fcntl.h> which was causing havoc when
  6091 	Tcl_GetOpenMode was used instead of private GetOpenMode).
  6092 
  6093 	* mac/tclMacFCmd.c: removed GenerateUniqueName(), use equivalent (and

  6131 	* tests/env.test, tests/binary.test, tests/autoMkindex.test:
  6132 	* library/init.tcl, library/http/http.tcl: [info exist] should really
  6133 	be [info exists]. [Bug 602566]
  6134 
  6135 	* doc/lsearch.n: Better specification of what happens when -sorted is
  6136 	mixed with other options. [Bug 617816]
  6137 
  6138 2002-10-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

  6149 2002-09-30  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  6150 
  6151 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): correct the checking
  6152 	for bad re's that didn't terminate the re string.  Resultant compiles
  6153 	were correct, but much slower than necessary.
  6154 
  6155 2002-09-29  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  6156 
  6157 	* win/tclAppInit.c: Added proper exiting conditions using Win32
  6158 	console signals. This handles the existing lack of a Ctrl+C exit to
  6159 	call exit handlers when built for thread support. Also, properly
  6160 	handles exits from other conditions such as CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT,
  6161 	CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT, and CTRL_SHUTDOWN_EVENT signals. In all cases, exit
  6162 	handlers will be called. [Bug 219355]
  6163 
  6164 	* win/makefile.vc: Added missing tclThreadAlloc.c to the build rules
  6165 	and defines USE_THREAD_ALLOC when TCL_THREADS is defined to get the
  6166 	new behavior by default.

  6192 	encoding reader. [Bug 615115]

  6195 	not generate .Z anymore (just .gz and .zip).

  6203 	(SC_PROG_TCLSH): Likewise.
  6204 	(SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Assume real Cygwin port and remove -mno-cygwin
  6205 	flags.	Add -mwin32 to extra_cflags and extra_ldflags. Remove ``-e
  6206 	_WinMain@16'' from LDFLAGS_WINDOW.
  6207 	* win/configure.in: Allow Cygwin build.
  6208 	(SEH test): Define to be 1 instead of empty value.
  6209 	(EXCEPTION_DISPOSITION): Add test.
  6210 	* win/configure: Regenerate.
  6211 
  6212 	* generic/tcl.h: Don't explicitly define __WIN32__ for Cygwin, let the
  6213 	user decide whether to use Windows or POSIX personality.
  6214 	(TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE, TCL_LL_MODIFIER, struct Tcl_StatBuf): Define for
  6215 	Cygwin.

  6222 	(TclpSysRealloc): Define for Cygwin.
  6223 
  6224 2002-09-26  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  6225 
  6226 	* macosx/Makefile: preserve environment value of INSTALL_ROOT. When
  6227 	embedding only use deployment build. Force relink before embedded
  6228 	build to ensure new linker flags are picked up.
  6229 
  6230 	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: add symbolic links to debug lib,
  6231 	stub libs and tclConfig.sh in framework toplevel. Configure target
  6232 	dependency fix. Fix to 'clean' action. Added private tcl headers to
  6233 	framework. Install tclsh symbolic link. Html doc build works when no
  6234 	installed tclsh available. Made html doc structure in framework more
  6235 	like in Apple frameworks.

  6245 
  6246 	* unix/tcl.m4: Forgot to define TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG at the
  6247 	appropriate moment. I believe this is the cause of [Bug 613117]
  6248 
  6249 	* doc/lset.n: Changed 'list' to 'varName' for consistency with lappend
  6250 	documentation. Thanks to Glenn Jackman [Bug 611719]

  6266 	cleaned up before it is closed.
  6267 
  6268 2002-09-12  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

  6283 
  6284 	* unix/README: Add note about building extensions with the same

  6352 	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: Bumped version number to 8.4.0
  6353 	and updated copyright info.
  6354 
  6355 2002-09-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6356 
  6357 	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UpVar2): a Tcl_Obj was being leaked on error
  6358 	return from TclGetFrame.
  6359 
  6360 2002-09-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  6361 
  6362 	* changes:  Updated changes for 8.4.0 release.
  6363 
  6364 2002-09-02  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  6365 
  6366 	* unix/tclUnixFile.c (TclpObjLink): removed unnecessary/unfreed
  6367 	extra native char*.
  6368 
  6369 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (Tcl_MakeTcpClientChannel): make sure to init
  6370 	flags field of TcpState ptr to 0.
  6371 
  6372 	* unix/configure:
  6373 	* unix/tcl.m4: added 64-bit gcc compilation support on HP-11.
  6374 	[Patch 601051] (martin)
  6375 
  6376 	* README:		Bumped version number to 8.4.0
  6377 	* generic/tcl.h:
  6378 	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
  6379 	* unix/configure:
  6380 	* unix/configure.in:
  6381 	* unix/tcl.spec:
  6382 	* win/README.binary:
  6383 	* win/configure:
  6384 	* win/configure.in:
  6385 
  6386 	* generic/tclInterp.c (SlaveCreate): make sure that the memory and
  6387 	checkmem commands are initialized in non-safe slave interpreters when
  6388 	TCL_MEM_DEBUG is used. [Bug 583445]
  6389 
  6390 	* win/tclWinConsole.c (ConsoleCloseProc): only wait on writable pipe
  6391 	if there was something to write. This may prevent infinite wait on
  6392 	exit.
  6393 
  6394 	* tests/exec.test: marked exec-18.1 unixOnly until the Windows
  6395 	incompatability (in the test, not the core) can be resolved.
  6396 
  6397 	* tests/http.test (http-3.11): added close $fp that was causing an
  6398 	error on Windows because the file was not closed before deleting.
  6399 
  6400 	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (Tcl_MacOSXGetLibraryPath): made this static
  6401 	function only appear when HAVE_CFBUNDLE is defined.
  6402 
  6403 2002-08-31  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  6404 
  6405 	* unix/tcl.m4: added TK_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS analogue of existing
  6406 	TCL_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS for linker settings only used when linking Tk.
  6407 
  6408 	* unix/configure: regen
  6409 
  6410 2002-08-31  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  6411 
  6412 	*** macosx-8-4-branch merged into the mainline [Patch 602770] ***
  6413 
  6414 	* generic/tcl.decls: added new macosx specific entry to stubs table.
  6415 
  6416 	* tools/genStubs.tcl: added generation of platform guards for macosx.
  6417 	This is a little more complex than it seems, because MacOS X IS "unix"
  6418 	plus a little bit, for the purposes of Tcl. BUT unfortunately, Tk uses
  6419 	"unix" to mean X11. So added platform keys for macosx (the little
  6420 	added to "unix"), "aqua" and "x11" to distinguish these for Tk.
  6421 
  6422 	* generic/tcl.h: added a #ifnded RESOURCE_INCLUDED so that tcl.h can
  6423 	be passed to the resource compiler.
  6424 
  6425 	* generic/tcl.h:
  6426 	* generic/tclNotify.c: added a few Notifier procs, to be able to
  6427 	modify more bits of the Tcl notifier dynamically. Required to get Mac
  6428 	OS X Tk to live on top of the Tcl Unix threaded notifier.  Changes the
  6429 	size of the Tcl_NotifierProcs structure, but doesn't move any elements
  6430 	around.
  6431 
  6432 	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: moved the call to Tcl_ConditionNotify till
  6433 	AFTER we are done mucking with the pointer swap. Fixes cases where the
  6434 	thread waiting on the condition wakes & accesses the waitingListPtr
  6435 	before it gets reset, causing a hang.
  6436 
  6437 	* library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary): added checking the directories
  6438 	in the tcl_pkgPath for library files on macosx to enable support of
  6439 	the standard Mac OSX library locations
  6440 
  6441 	* unix/Makefile.in:
  6442 	* unix/configure.in:
  6443 	* unix/tcl.m4: added MAC_OSX_DIR. Added PLAT_OBJS to the OBJS: there
  6444 	are some MacOS X specific files now for Tcl, and when I get he
  6445 	resource & applescript stuff ported over, and restore support for
  6446 	FindFiles, etc, there will be a few more. Added LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR
  6447 	configure variable to avoid having to set all possible LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  6448 	analogues on all platforms. LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR is "LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
  6449 	by default, "LIBPATH" on AIX, "SHLIB_PATH" on HPUX and
  6450 	"DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" on Mac OSX. Added configure option to package Tcl
  6451 	as a framework on Mac OSX.
  6452 
  6453 	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c (new): support for finding Tcl extension
  6454 	packaged as 'bundles' in the standard Mac OSX library locations.
  6455 
  6456 	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: added support for findig the tcl script library
  6457 	inside Tcl packaged as a framework on Mac OSX.
  6458 
  6459 	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser (new):
  6460 	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj (new): project for Apple's
  6461 	ProjectBuilder IDE.
  6462 
  6463 	* macosx/Makefile (new): simple makefile for building the project from
  6464 	the command line via the ProjectBuilder tool 'pbxbuild'.
  6465 
  6466 	* unix/configure:
  6467 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
  6468 	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h: regen

  6470 2002-08-29  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
  6471 
  6472 	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpFinalizeThreadData, TclWinFreeAllocCache):
  6473 	Applied patch for [Bug 599428] (sofer)
  6474 
  6475 2002-08-28  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  6476 
  6477 	* generic/tclEnv.c:
  6478 	* unix/configure.in:
  6479 	* win/tclWinPort.h:  putenv() on some systems copies the buffer rather
  6480 	than taking reference to it. This causes memory leaks and is know to
  6481 	effect mswindows (msvcrt) and NetBSD 1.5.2. This patch tests for this
  6482 	behavior and turns on -DHAVE_PUTENV_THAT_COPIES=1 when approriate.
  6483 	Thanks to David Welton for assistance. [Bug 414910]
  6484 
  6485 	* unix/configure: regen'd
  6486 
  6487 2002-08-28  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  6488 
  6489 	* doc/eval.n: Added mention of list command and corrected "SEE ALSO".
  6490 
  6491 	* unix/configure.in: Cache handling of ac_cv_type_socklen_t was wrong.
  6492 	[Bug 600931] reported by John Ellson. Fixed by putting the brackets
  6493 	where they belong.
  6494 
  6495 2002-08-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6496 
  6497 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: fix for [Bug 599788] (error in element name
  6498 	causing segfault), reported by Tom Wilkason. Fixed by copying the
  6499 	tokens instead of the source string.
  6500 
  6501 2002-08-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6502 
  6503 	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: small optimisation, reducing the new
  6504 	allocator's overhead.
  6505 
  6506 2002-08-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6507 
  6508 	* generic/tclObj.c (USE_THREAD_ALLOC): fixed leak [Bug 597936]. Thanks
  6509 	to Zoran Vasiljevic.
  6510 
  6511 2002-08-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6512 
  6513 	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (USE_THREAD_ALLOC): moving objects between
  6514 	caches as a block, instead of one-by-one.
  6515 
  6516 2002-08-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6517 
  6518 	* generic/tclBasic.c:
  6519 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: fix for freed memory r/w in delete traces [Bug
  6520 	589863], patch by Hemang Lavana.
  6521 
  6522 2002-08-20  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
  6523 
  6524 	* win/Makefile.in (CFLAGS):
  6525 	* unix/Makefile.in (MEM_DEBUG_FLAGS): Added usage of @MEM_DEBUG_FLAGS@.
  6526 	* win/configure.in:
  6527 	* unix/configure.in: Added usage of SC_ENABLE_MEMDEBUG.
  6528 	* win/tcl.m4:
  6529 	* unix/tcl.m4: Added macro SC_ENABLE_MEMDEBUG. Allows a user of
  6530 	configure to (de)activate memory validation and debugging
  6531 	(TCL_MEM_DEBUG). No need to modify the makefile anymore.
  6532 
  6533 2002-08-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  6534 
  6535 	* generic/tclCkalloc.c:	CONSTified MemoryCmd and CheckmemCmd.
  6536 
  6537 	* README:		Bumped version number to 8.4b3 to distinguish
  6538 	* generic/tcl.h:	HEAD from the 8.4b2 release.
  6539 	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
  6540 	* unix/configure.in:
  6541 	* unix/tcl.spec:
  6542 	* win/README.binary:
  6543 	* win/configure.in:
  6544 
  6545 	* unix/configure:	autoconf
  6546 	* win/configure:
  6547 
  6548 	* library/http/http.tcl:	Corrected installation directory of
  6549 	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:	the package tcltest 2.2.  Added
  6550 	* library/opt/optparse.tcl:	comments in other packages to remind
  6551 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	that installation directories need
  6552 	* unix/Makefile.in:		updates to match increasing version
  6553 	* win/Makefile.in:		numbers. [Bug 597450]
  6554 	* win/makefile.bc:
  6555 	* win/makefile.vc:
  6556 
  6557 2002-08-19  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
  6558 
  6559 	* unix/tclUnixTest.c (TestfilehandlerCmd): Changed
  6560 	readable/writable to the more common readable|writable.
  6561 	Fixes [Bug 596034] (lvirden)
  6562 
  6563 2002-08-16  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  6564 
  6565 	* tests/fCmd.test: Added test to make sure that the cause of the
  6566 	problem is detectable with an unpatched Tcl.
  6567 	* doc/ObjectType.3: Added note on the root cause of this problem to
  6568 	the documentation, since it is possible for user code to trigger this
  6569 	sort of behaviour too.
  6570 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (SetFsPathFromAny): Objects should only have
  6571 	their old representation deleted when we know that we are about to
  6572 	install a new one.  This stops a weird TclX bug under Linux with
  6573 	certain kinds of memory debugging enabled which essentally came down
  6574 	to a double-free of a string.
  6575 
  6576 2002-08-14  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6577 
  6578 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  6579 	* generic/tclObj.c: (code cleanup) factored the parts in the macros
  6580 	TclNewObj() / TclDecrRefCount() into a common part for all memory
  6581 	allocators and two new macros TclAllocObjStorage() /
  6582 	TclFreeObjStorage() that are specific to each allocator and fully
  6583 	describe the differences. Removed allocator-specific code from
  6584 	tclObj.c by using the macros.
  6585 
  6586 2002-08-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6587 
  6588 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: fixing UMR in delete traces, [Bug 589863].
  6589 
  6590 2002-08-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  6591 
  6592 	* tools/man2help.tcl: Fixed $argv handling bug where if -bitmap wasn't
  6593 	specified $argc was off by one.
  6594 
  6595 2002-08-08  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6596 
  6597 	* tests/uplevel.test: added 6.1 to test [uplevel] with shadowed
  6598 	commands [Bug 524383]
  6599 
  6600 	* tests/subst.test: added 5.8-10 as further tests for [Bug 495207]
  6601 
  6602 2002-08-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  6603 
  6604 	* tests/README: Noted removal of defs.tcl.
  6605 
  6606 2002-08-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  6607 
  6608 	* doc/lsearch.n: corrected lsearch docs to use -inline in examples.
  6609 
  6610 	*** 8.4b2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
  6611 
  6612 	* tests/fCmd.test:
  6613 	* tests/unixFCmd.test: updated tests for new link copy behavior.
  6614 	* generic/tclFCmd.c (CopyRenameOneFile): changed the behavior to
  6615 	follow links to endpoints and copy that file/directory instead of just
  6616 	copying the surface link. This means that trying to copy a link that
  6617 	has no endpoint (danling link) is an error. [Patch 591647] (darley)
  6618 	(CopyRenameOneFile): this is currently disabled by default until
  6619 	further issues with such behavior (like relative links) can be handled
  6620 	correctly.
  6621 
  6622 	* tests/README: slight wording improvements
  6623 
  6624 2002-08-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6625 
  6626 	* docs/BoolObj.3: added description of valid string reps for a boolean
  6627 	object [Bug 584794]
  6628 	* generic/tclObj.c: optimised Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj and
  6629 	SetBooleanFromAny to avoid parsing the string rep when it can be
  6630 	avoided [Bugs 584650, 472576]
  6631 
  6632 2002-08-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6633 
  6634 	* generic/tclCompile.h:
  6635 	* generic/tclObj.c: making tclCmdNameType static [Bug 584567] (dgp)
  6636 
  6637 2002-08-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6638 
  6639 	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_NewObj): added conditional code for
  6640 	USE_THREAD_ALLOC; objects allocated through Tcl_NewObj() were
  6641 	otherwise being leaked. [Bug 587488] reported by Sven Sass.
  6642 
  6643 2002-08-06  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  6644 
  6645 	* generic/tclInt.decls:
  6646 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Added stubs and implementations for non-threaded
  6647 	build for the tclUnixThrd.c procs TclpReaddir, TclpLocaltime,
  6648 	TclpGmtime and TclpInetNtoa. Fixes link errors in stubbed & threaded
  6649 	extensions that include tclUnixPort.h and use any of the procs
  6650 	readdir, localtime, gmtime or inet_ntoa (e.g. TclX 8.4) [Bug 589526]
  6651 	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
  6652 	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regen.
  6653 
  6654 2002-08-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  6655 
  6656 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	The setup and cleanup scripts are now
  6657 	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:	skipped when a test is skipped, fixing
  6658 	* tests/tcltest.test:		[Bug 589859]. Test for bug added, and
  6659 	corrected tcltest package bumped to version 2.2.
  6660 
  6661 	* generic/tcl.decls:	Restored Tcl_Concat to return (char *). Like
  6662 	* generic/tclDecls.h:	Tcl_Merge, it transfers ownership of a dynamic
  6663 	* generic/tclUtil.c:	allocated string to the caller.
  6664 
  6665 2002-08-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  6666 
  6667 	* doc/CmdCmplt.3:	Applied Patch 585105 to fully CONST-ify
  6668 	* doc/Concat.3:		all remaining public interfaces of Tcl.
  6669 	* doc/CrtCommand.3:	Notably, the parser no longer writes on
  6670 	* doc/CrtSlave.3:	the string it is parsing, so it is no
  6671 	* doc/CrtTrace.3:	longer necessary for Tcl_Eval() to be
  6672 	* doc/Eval.3:		given a writable string.  Also, the
  6673 	* doc/ExprLong.3:	refactoring of the Tcl_*Var* routines
  6674 	* doc/LinkVar.3:	by Miguel Sofer is included, so that the
  6675 	* doc/ParseCmd.3:	"part1" argument for them no longer needs
  6676 	* doc/SetVar.3:		to be writable either.
  6677 	* doc/TraceVar.3:
  6678 	* doc/UpVar.3:		Compatibility support has been enhanced so
  6679 	* generic/tcl.decls:	that a #define of USE_NON_CONST will remove
  6680 	* generic/tcl.h:	all possible source incompatibilities with
  6681 	* generic/tclBasic.c:	the 8.3 version of the header file(s).
  6682 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	The new #define of USE_COMPAT_CONST now does
  6683 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:what USE_NON_CONST used to do -- disable
  6684 	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:only those new CONST's that introduce
  6685 	* generic/tclCompile.c:	irreconcilable incompatibilities.
  6686 	* generic/tclCompile.h:
  6687 	* generic/tclDecls.h:	Several bugs are also fixed by this patch.
  6688 	* generic/tclEnv.c:	[Bugs 584051,580433] [Patches 585105,582429]

  6710 2002-08-01  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6711 
  6712 	* generic/tclExecute.c: bugfix (reading freed memory). Testsuite
  6713 	passed on linux/i386, compile-13.1 hung on linux/alpha.
  6714 
  6715 2002-08-01  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6716 
  6717 	* generic/tclExecute.c: added a reference count for the complete
  6718 	execution stack, instead of Tcl_Preserve/Tcl_Release.
  6719 
  6720 2002-08-01  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  6721 
  6722 	* generic/tclCkalloc.c (TclFinalizeMemorySubsystem): Don't lock the
  6723 	ckalloc mutex before invoking the Tcl_DumpActiveMemory function since
  6724 	it also locks the same mutex. This code is only executed when "memory
  6725 	onexit filename" has been executed and Tcl is compiled with
  6726 	-DTCL_MEM_DEBUG.
  6727 
  6728 2002-08-01  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
  6729 
  6730 	* win/tclWinPort.h: The windows headers don't provide socklen_t, so we

  6733 2002-07-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6734 
  6735 	* generic/tclInt.h (USE_THREAD_ALLOC): for unshared objects,
  6736 	TclDecrRefCount now frees the internal rep before the string rep -
  6737 	just like the non-macro Tcl_DecrRefCount/TclFreeObj [Bug 524802]. For
  6738 	the other allocators the fix was done on 2002-03-06.
  6739 
  6740 2002-07-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6741 
  6742 	* generic/tclInterp.c: signed/unsigned comparison warning fixed
  6743 	(Vince Darley).
  6744 
  6745 2002-07-31  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  6746 
  6747 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_BUGGY_STRTOD): Enabled caching of test results.
  6748 
  6749 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_BUGGY_STRTOD): Solaris 2.8 still has a buggy
  6750 	strtod() implementation; make sure we detect it.
  6751 
  6752 	* tests/expr.test (expr-22.*): Marked as non-portable because it seems
  6753 	that these tests have an annoying tendency to fail in unexpected ways.
  6754 	[Bugs 584825, 584950, 585986]
  6755 
  6756 2002-07-30  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
  6757 
  6758 	* tests/io.test:
  6759 	* generic/tclIO.c (WriteChars): Added flag to break out of loop if
  6760 	nothing of the input is consumed at all, to prevent infinite looping
  6761 	of called with a non-UTF-8 string. Fixes [Bug 584603] partially.
  6762 	Added new test "io-60.1". Might need additional changes to Tcl_Main so
  6763 	that unprintable results are printed as binary data.
  6764 
  6765 2002-07-29  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  6766 
  6767 	* unix/Makefile.in: Use CC_SEARCH_FLAGS instead of LD_SEARCH_FLAGS
  6768 	when linking with ${CC}.
  6769 	* unix/configure: Regen.
  6770 	* unix/configure.in: Don't subst CC_SEARCH_FLAGS or LD_SEARCH_FLAGS
  6771 	since this is now done in tcl.m4.
  6772 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Document and set CC_SEARCH_FLAGS
  6773 	whenever LD_SEARCH_FLAGS is set. [Patch 588290]
  6774 
  6775 2002-07-29  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
  6776 
  6777 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_SERIAL_PORT): Fixed detection for cases when
  6778 					configure's stdin is not a tty.
  6779 
  6780 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
  6781 	* generic/tclIOSock.c:		Changed size_t to socklen_t in
  6782 					socket-related function calls.
  6783 
  6784 	* unix/configure.in:		Added test and fallback definition
  6785 					for socklen_t.
  6786 
  6787 	* unix/configure:		generated.
  6788 
  6789 2002-07-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6790 
  6791 	* generic/tclObj.c: fixed a comment
  6792 
  6793 	* generic/tcl.h:
  6794 	* generic/tclBasic.c:
  6795 	* generic/tclInterp.c: added the new flag TCL_EVAL_INVOKE to the
  6796 	interface of the Tcl_Eval* functions, removing the
  6797 	TCL_EVAL_NO_TRACEBACK added yesterday: alias invocations not only
  6798 	require no tracebacks, but also look up the command name in the global
  6799 	scope - see new test interp-9.4
  6800 	* tests/interp.test: added 9.3 to test for safety of aliases to hidden
  6801 	commands, 9.4 to test for correct command lookup scope.
  6802 
  6803 2002-07-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  6804 
  6805 	* generic/regc_locale.c (cclass): [[:xdigit:]] is only a defined
  6806 	concept on western characters, so should not allow any unicode digit,
  6807 	and hence number of ranges in [[:xdigit:]] is fixed.
  6808 	* tests/reg.test: Added test to detect the bug.
  6809 	* generic/regc_cvec.c (newcvec): Corrected initial size value in
  6810 	character vector structure. [Bug 578363] Many thanks to
  6811 	pvgoran@users.sf.net for tracking this down.
  6812 
  6813 2002-07-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6814 
  6815 	* generic/tcl.h:
  6816 	* generic/tclBasic.c: added the new flag TCL_EVAL_NO_TRACEBACK to the
  6817 	interface of the Tcl_Eval* functions. Modified the error message for
  6818 	too many nested evaluations.
  6819 	* generic/tclInterp.h: changed the Alias struct to be of variable
  6820 	length and store the prefix arguments directly (instead of a pointer
  6821 	to a Tcl_Obj list). Made AliasObjCmd call Tcl_EvalObjv instead of
  6822 	TclObjInvoke - thus making aliases trigger execution traces. [Bug
  6823 	582522]
  6824 	* tests/interp.test:
  6825 	* tests/stack.test: adapted to the new error message.
  6826 	* tests/trace.test: added tests for aliases firing the exec traces.
  6827 
  6828 2002-07-27  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  6829 
  6830 	* unix/Makefile.in: Revert fix for Tcl bug 529801 since it was
  6831 	incorrect and broke the build on other systems. Fix [Bug 587299]. Add
  6832 	MAJOR_VERSION, MINOR_VERSION, PATCH_LEVEL, SHLIB_LD_FLAGS,
  6833 	SHLIB_LD_LIBS, CC_SEARCH_FLAGS, LD_SEARCH_FLAGS, and LIB_FILE
  6834 	variables to support more generic library build/install rules.
  6835 	* unix/configure: Regen.
  6836 	* unix/configure.in: Move AC_PROG_RANLIB into tcl.m4. Move shared
  6837 	build test and setting of MAKE_LIB and MAKE_STUB_LIB into tcl.m4. Move
  6838 	subst of a number of variables into tcl.m4 where they are defined.
  6839 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS, SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS):
  6840 	Subst vars where they are defined. Add MAKE_LIB, MAKE_STUB_LIB,
  6841 	INSTALL_LIB, and INSTALL_STUB_LIB rules to deal with the ugly details
  6842 	of running ranlib on static libs at build and install time. Replace
  6843 	TCL_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS with SHLIB_LD_FLAGS and use it when building a
  6844 	shared library.
  6845 	* unix/tclConfig.sh.in: Add TCL_CC_SEARCH_FLAGS.
  6846 
  6847 2002-07-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6848 
  6849 	* generic/tclExecute.c: fixed Tcl_Obj leak in code corresponding to
  6850 	the macro NEXT_INST_V(x, 0, 1). [Bug 587495]
  6851 
  6852 2002-07-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6853 
  6854 	* generic/tclVar.c (TclObjLookupVar): leak fix and improved comments.
  6855 
  6856 2002-07-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  6857 
  6858 	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): removed early returns that
  6859 	prevented the parens from being restored. also removed goto label as
  6860 	it was not necessary.
  6861 
  6862 2002-07-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6863 
  6864 	* generic/tclExecute.c:
  6865 	* tests/expr-old.test: fix for erroneous error messages in [expr],
  6866 	[Bug 587140] reported by Martin Lemburg.
  6867 
  6868 2002-07-25  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
  6869 
  6870 	* generic/tclProc.c: fix for [Tk Bug 219218] "error handling with
  6871 	bgerror in Tk"
  6872 
  6873 2002-07-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6874 
  6875 	* generic/tclExecute.c: restoring full TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG
  6876 	functionality.
  6877 
  6878 2002-07-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  6879 
  6880 	* tests/unixInit.test: relaxed unixInit-3.1 to accept iso8859-15 as a
  6881 	valid C encoding. [Bug 575336]
  6882 
  6883 2002-07-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  6884 
  6885 	* generic/tclExecute.c: restoring the tcl_traceCompile functionality
  6886 	while I repair tcl_traceExec. The core now compiles and runs also
  6887 	under TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG, but execution in the bytecode engine can
  6888 	still not be traced.
  6889 
  6890 2002-07-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  6891 
  6892 	* unix/Makefile.in:
  6893 	* unix/configure.in: corrected fix for [Bug 529801]: ranlib only
  6894 	needed for static builds on Mac OS X.
  6895 	* unix/configure: Regen.
  6896 	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c: fixed small bugs introduced by Vince,
  6897 	implemented library unloading correctly (needs OS X 10.2).

  6906 	* doc/http.n: Package version updated to 2.4.
  6907 
  6908 2002-07-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  6909 
  6910 	* unix/configure: Regen.
  6911 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Enable 64 bit compilation when using
  6912 	the native compiler on a 64 bit version of IRIX. [Bug 219220]
  6913 
  6914 2002-07-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  6915 
  6916 	* unix/Makefile.in: Combine ranlib tests and avoid printing unless
  6917 	ranlib is actually run.
  6918 
  6919 2002-07-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  6920 
  6921 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_X): Set XINCLUDES to "" instead of "# no
  6922 	special path needed" or "# no include files found" when x headers
  6923 	cannot be located.
  6924 
  6925 2002-07-22  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  6926 
  6927 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: made tclNativeFilesystem static (since 07-19
  6928 	changes removed its usage elsewhere), and added comments about its
  6929 	usage.
  6930 	* generic/tclLoad.c:
  6931 	* generic/tcl.h:
  6932 	* generic/tcl.decls:
  6933 	* doc/FileSystem.3: converted last load-related ClientData parameter
  6934 	to Tcl_LoadHandle opaque structure, removing a couple of casts in the
  6935 	process.
  6936 
  6937 	* generic/tclInt.h: removed tclNativeFilesystem declaration since it
  6938 	is now static again.
  6939 
  6940 2002-07-22  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  6941 
  6942 	* tests/expr.test (expr-22.*): Added tests to help detect the
  6943 	corrected handling.
  6944 	* generic/tclExecute.c (IllegalExprOperandType): Improved error
  6945 	message generated when attempting to manipulate Inf and NaN values.
  6946 	* generic/tclParseExpr.c (GetLexeme): Allowed parser to recognise
  6947 	'Inf' as a floating-point number. [Bug 218000]

  6955 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to GetFilesystemRecord
  6956 	* win/tclWinFile.c:
  6957 	* unix/tclUnixFile.c: fix to subtle problem with links shown up by
  6958 	latest tclkit builds.
  6959 
  6960 2002-07-19  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  6961 
  6962 	* unix/configure:
  6963 	* unix/configure.in:
  6964 	* win/configure:
  6965 	* win/configure.in: Add AC_PREREQ(2.13) in an attempt to make it more
  6966 	clear that the configure scripts must be generated with autoconf
  6967 	version 2.13. [Bug 583573]
  6968 
  6969 2002-07-19  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

  6974 2002-07-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  6975 
  6976 	* win/tclWinSerial.c (no_timeout): Made this variable static.
  6977 
  6978 	* generic/tclExecute.c, generic/tclCompile.c, generic/tclBasic.c:
  6979 	* generic/tclCompile.h (builtinFuncTable, instructionTable): Added
  6980 	prefix to these symbols because they are visible outside the Tcl
  6981 	library.
  6982 
  6983 	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (operatorTable):
  6984 	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (tmKey):
  6985 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (theFilesystemEpoch, filesystemWantToModify,
  6986 	(filesystemIteratorsInProgress, filesystemOkToModify): Made these
  6987 	variables static.
  6988 
  6989 	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:		Renamed nativeFilesystem to
  6990 	* win/tclWinFile.c:		tclNativeFilesystem and declared
  6991 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:		it properly in tclInt.h
  6992 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  6993 
  6994 	* generic/tclUtf.c (totalBytes): Made this array static and const.
  6995 
  6996 	* generic/tclParse.c (typeTable): Made this array static and const.
  6997 	(Tcl_ParseBraces): Simplified error handling case so that scans are
  6998 	only performed when needed, and flags are simpler too.
  6999 
  7000 	* license.terms: Added AS to list of copyright holders; it's only fair
  7001 	for the current gatekeepers to be listed here!
  7002 
  7003 	* tests/cmdMZ.test: Renamed constraint for clarity. [Bug 583427]
  7004 	Added tests for the [time] command, which was previously only
  7005 	indirectly tested!
  7006 
  7007 2002-07-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  7008 
  7009 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  7010 	* generic/tcl.h:
  7011 	* */*Load*.c: added comments on changes of 07/17 and replaced
  7012 	clientData with Tcl_LoadHandle in all locations.
  7013 
  7014 	* generic/tclFCmd.c:
  7015 	* tests/fileSystem.test: fixed a 'knownBug' with 'file

  7018 	* tests/winPipe.test:
  7019 	* tests/fCmd.test:
  7020 	* tessts/winFile.test: added 'pcOnly' constraint to some tests to make
  7021 	for more useful 'tests skipped' log from running all tests on
  7022 	non-Windows platforms.
  7023 
  7024 2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7025 
  7026 	* generic/tclBasic.c (CallCommandTraces): delete traces now receive
  7027 	the FQ old name of the command. [Bug 582532] (Don Porter)
  7028 
  7029 2002-07-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  7030 
  7031 	* tests/ioUtil.test: added constraints to 1.4,2.4 so they don't run
  7032 	outside of tcltest. [Bugs 583276,583277]
  7033 
  7034 2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7035

  7038 
  7039 2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7040 
  7041 	* generic/tclVar.c (TclPtrIncrVar): missing CONST in declarations,
  7042 	inconsistent with tclInt.h. Thanks to Vince Darley for reporting, boo
  7043 	to gcc for not complaining.
  7044 
  7045 2002-07-17  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

  7057 	* mac/tclMacLoad.c:
  7058 	* win/tclWinLoad.c: modified to move more functionality to the generic
  7059 	code and avoid duplication. Partial replacement of internal uses of
  7060 	clientData with opaque Tcl_LoadHandle. A little further work still
  7061 	needed, but significant changes are done.
  7062 
  7063 2002-07-17  D. Richard Hipp    <drh@hwaci.com>
  7064 
  7065 	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: fix a comment that was causing problems

  7072 	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
  7073 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
  7074 	* generic/tclVar.c: removing the now redundant functions to access
  7075 	indexed variables: Tcl(Get|Set|Incr)IndexedScalar() and

  7079 
  7080 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Minor fixes to make this

  7083 2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7084 
  7085 	* generic/tclExecute.c: modified to do variable lookup explicitly, and
  7086 	then either inlining the variable access or else calling the new
  7087 	TclPtr(Set|Get|Incr)Var functions in tclVar.c
  7088 	* generic/tclInt.h: declare some functions previously local to
  7089 	tclVar.c for usage by TEBC.
  7090 	* generic/tclVar.c: removed local declarations; moved all special
  7091 	accessor functions for indexed variables to the end of the file - they
  7092 	are unused and ready for removal, but left there for the time being as
  7093 	they are in the internal stubs table.

  7104 2002-07-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  7105 
  7106 	* unix/Makefile.in: Use dltest.marker file to keep track of when the
  7107 	dltest package is up to date. This fixes [Bug 575768] since tcltest is
  7108 	no longer linked every time.
  7109 	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Create ../dltest.marker after a successful
  7110 	`make all` run in dltest.

  7119 	* generic/tclVar.c: inaccurate comment fixed
  7120 
  7121 2002-07-15  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7122 
  7123 	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo):
  7124 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclUpdateReturnInfo):
  7125 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  7126 	* generic/tclProc.c:
  7127 	Added two Tcl_Obj to the ExecEnv structure to hold the fully qualified
  7128 	names "::errorInfo" and "::errorCode" to cache the addresses of the
  7129 	corresponding variables. The two most frequent setters of these
  7130 	variables now profit from the new variable name caching.
  7131 
  7132 2002-07-15  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7133 
  7134 	* generic/tclVar.c: refactorisation to reuse already looked-up Var
  7135 	pointers; definition of three new Tcl_Obj types to cache variable name
  7136 	parsing and lookup for later reuse; modification of internal functions
  7137 	to profit from the caching.
  7138 
  7139 	* generic/tclInt.decls:
  7140 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  7141 	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
  7142 	* generic/tclNamesp.c: adding CONST qualifiers to variable names
  7143 	passed to Tcl_FindNamespaceVar and to variable resolvers; adding CONST
  7144 	qualifier to the 'msg' argument to TclLookupVar. Needed to avoid code
  7145 	duplication in the new tclVar.c code.
  7146 
  7147 	* tests/set-old.test:
  7148 	* tests/var.test: slight modification of error messages due to the
  7149 	modifications in the tclVar.c code.
  7150 
  7151 2002-07-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7152 
  7153 	* tests/unixInit.test:	Improved constraints to protect /tmp. [Bug
  7154 	581403]
  7155 
  7156 2002-07-15  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  7157 
  7158 	* tests/winFCmd.test: renamed 'win2000' and 'notWin2000' to more
  7159 	appropriate constraint names.
  7160 	* win/tclWinFile.c: updated comments to reflect 07-11 changes.
  7161 	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: made ConvertFileNameFormat static again, since no
  7162 	longer used in tclWinFile.c
  7163 	* mac/tclMacFile.c: completed TclpObjLink implementation which was
  7164 	previously lacking.
  7165 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: comment cleanup and code speedup.
  7166 
  7167 2002-07-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7168 
  7169 	* generic/tclInt.h:	Removed declarations that duplicated entries
  7170 	in the (internal) stub table.
  7171 
  7172 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Corrected errors in handling of
  7173 	configuration options -constraints and -limitconstraints.
  7174 
  7175 	* README:		Bumped HEAD to version 8.4b2 so we can
  7176 	* generic/tcl.h:	distinguish it from the 8.4b1 release.
  7177 	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
  7178 	* unix/configure*:
  7179 	* unix/tcl.spec:
  7180 	* win/README.binary:
  7181 	* win/configure*:
  7182 
  7183 2002-07-11  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  7184 
  7185 	* doc/file.n:
  7186 	* win/tclWinFile.c: on Win 95/98/ME the long form of the path is used
  7187 	as a normalized form. This is required because short forms are not a
  7188 	robust representation. The file normalization function has been sped
  7189 	up, but more performance gains might be possible, if speed is still an
  7190 	issue on these platforms.
  7191 
  7192 2002-07-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7193 
  7194 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Corrected reaction to existing but
  7195 	false ::tcl_interactive.
  7196 
  7197 	* doc/Hash.3: Overlooked CONST documentation update.
  7198 
  7199 2002-07-11  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  7200 
  7201 	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: ckalloc() and friends take the block size as
  7202 	an unsigned, so we should use %ud when reporting it in fprintf() and
  7203 	panic().
  7204 
  7205 2002-07-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7206 
  7207 	* generic/tclCompile.c: now setting local vars undefined at compile
  7208 	time, instead of waiting until the proc is initialized.
  7209 	* generic/tclProc.c: use macro TclSetVarUndefined instead of directly
  7210 	setting the flag.
  7211 
  7212 2002-07-11  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  7213 
  7214 	* tests/cmdAH.test: [file attr -perm] is Unix-only, so add [catch]
  7215 	when not inside a suitably-protected test.
  7216 
  7217 2002-07-10  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  7218 
  7219 	* tests/unixFCmd.test, tests/fileName.test:
  7220 	* tests/fCmd.test: Removed [exec] of Unix utilities that have
  7221 	equivalents in standard Tcl. [Bug 579268] Also simplified some of
  7222 	unixFCmd.test while I was at it.
  7223 
  7224 2002-07-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7225 
  7226 	* tests/tcltest.test:  Greatly reduced the number of [exec]s, using
  7227 	slave interps instead.
  7228 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Fixed bug uncovered in the conversion
  7229 	where a message was written to stdout instead of [outputChannel].
  7230 
  7231 	* tests/basic.test:	Cleaned up, constrained, and reduced the
  7232 	* tests/compile.test:	amount of [exec] usage in the test suite.
  7233 	* tests/encoding.test:
  7234 	* tests/env.test:
  7235 	* tests/event.test:
  7236 	* tests/exec.test:
  7237 	* tests/io.test:
  7238 	* tests/ioCmd.test:
  7239 	* tests/regexp.test:
  7240 	* tests/regexpComp.test:
  7241 	* tests/socket.test:
  7242 	* tests/tcltest.test:
  7243 	* tests/unixInit.test:
  7244 	* tests/winDde.test:
  7245 	* tests/winPipe.test:
  7246 
  7247 2002-07-10  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  7248 
  7249 	* tests/cmdAH.test: Removed [exec] of Unix utilities. [Bug 579211]
  7250 
  7251 	* tests/expr.test: Added tests to make sure that this works.
  7252 	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprCallMathFunc): Functions should also be
  7253 	able to return wide-ints. [Bug 579284]
  7254 
  7255 2002-07-08  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
  7256 
  7257 	* tests/socket.test: Fixed [Bug 578164]. The original reason for the
  7258 	was a DNS outage while running the testsuite. Changed [info hostname]
  7259 	to 127.0.0.1 to bypass DNS, knowing that we operate on the local
  7260 	host.
  7261 
  7262 2002-07-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7263 
  7264 	* doc/tcltest.n:		Fixed incompatibility in [viewFile].
  7265 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Corrected docs. Bumped to 2.2.1.
  7266 	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: [Bug 578163]
  7267 
  7268 2002-07-08  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  7269 
  7270 	* tests/cmdAH.test:
  7271 	* tests/fCmd.test:
  7272 	* tests/fileName.test: tests which rely on 'file link' need a
  7273 	constraint so they don't run on older Windows OS. [Bug 578158]
  7274 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
  7275 	* generic/tcl.h:
  7276 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  7277 	* generic/tclTest.c:
  7278 	* mac/tclMacChan.c:
  7279 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c:
  7280 	* win/tclWinChan.c:
  7281 	* doc/FileSystem.3: cleaned up internal handling of
  7282 	Tcl_FSOpenFileChannel to remove duplicate code, and make writing
  7283 	external vfs's clearer and easier. No functionality change. Also
  7284 	clarify that objects with refCount zero should not be passed in to the
  7285 	Tcl_FS API, and prevent segfaults from occuring on such user errors.
  7286 	[Bug 578617]
  7287 
  7288 2002-07-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7289 
  7290 	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test:  Constrained tests of [load] package indexing
  7291 	to those platforms where the testing shared libraries have been built.
  7292 	[Bug 578166].
  7293 
  7294 2002-07-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7295 
  7296 	* changes: added recent changes
  7297 
  7298 2002-07-05  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
  7299 
  7300 	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): Convert the format string to
  7301 	UTF8 before calling TclpStrftime, so that non-ASCII characters don't
  7302 	get mangled when the result string is being converted back.
  7303 	* tests/clock.test: Added a test for that.
  7304 
  7305 2002-07-05  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  7306 
  7307 	* unix/Makefile.in (ro-test,ddd,GDB,DDD): Created new targets to allow
  7308 	running the test suite with a read-only current directory, running
  7309 	under ddd instead of gdb, and factored out some executable names for
  7310 	broken sites (like mine) where gdb and ddd are installed with
  7311 	non-standard names...
  7312 
  7313 	* tests/httpold.test: Altered test names to httpold-* to avoid clashes
  7314 	with http.test, and stopped tests from failing when the current
  7315 	directory is not writable...
  7316 
  7317 	* tests/event.test:		Stop these tests from failing
  7318 	* tests/ioUtil.test:		when the current directory is
  7319 	* tests/regexp.test:		not writable...
  7320 	* tests/regexpComp.test:
  7321 	* tests/source.test:
  7322 	* tests/unixFile.test:
  7323 	* tests/unixNotfy.test:
  7324 
  7325 	* tests/unixFCmd.test:		Trying to make these test-files
  7326 	* tests/macFCmd.test:		not bomb out with an error when
  7327 	* tests/http.test:		the current directory is not
  7328 	* tests/fileName.test:		writable...
  7329 	* tests/env.test:

  7335 2002-07-04  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  7336 
  7337 	* tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-1.4):
  7338 	* tests/cmdAH.test: More fixing of writable-current-dir assumption.
  7339 	[Bug 575824]
  7340 
  7341 2002-07-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7342 
  7343 	* tests/basic.test: Same issue as below; fixed [Bug 575817]
  7344 
  7345 2002-07-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
  7346 
  7347 	* tests/socket.test:
  7348 	* tests/winPipe.test:
  7349 	* tests/pid.test: Fixed [Bug 575848]. See below for a description the
  7350 	general problem.
  7351 
  7352 	All the bugs below are instances of the same problem: The testsuite
  7353 	assumes [pwd] = [temporaryDirectory] and writable.
  7354 
  7355 	* tests/iogt.test: Fixed [Bug 575860]
  7356 	* tests/io.test:   Fixed [Bug 575862]
  7357 	* tests/exec.test:
  7358 	* tests/ioCmd.test: Fixed [Bug 575836]
  7359 
  7360 2002-07-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7361 
  7362 	* tests/pkg1/direct1.tcl: removed
  7363 	* tests/pkg1/pkgIndex.tcl: removed
  7364 	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Imported auxilliary files from tests/pkg1
  7365 	into the test file pkgMkIndex.test itself. Formatting fixes.
  7366 
  7367 	* unix/Makefile.in: removed tests/pkg/* from `make dist`
  7368 
  7369 	* tests/pkg/circ1.tcl: removed
  7370 	* tests/pkg/circ2.tcl: removed
  7371 	* tests/pkg/circ3.tcl: removed

  7381 	* tests/pkg/samename.tcl: removed
  7382 	* tests/pkg/simple.tcl: removed
  7383 	* tests/pkg/spacename.tcl: removed
  7384 	* tests/pkg/std.tcl: removed
  7385 	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Fixed [Bug 575857] where this test file
  7386 	expected to be able to write to [file join [testsDirectory] pkg]. Part
  7387 	of the fix was to import several auxilliary files into the test file
  7388 	itself.
  7389 
  7390 	* tests/main.test:	Cheap fix for [Bugs 575851, 575858]. Avoid
  7391 	* tests/tcltest.test:	non-writable . by [cd [temporaryDirectory]].
  7392 
  7393 	* library/auto.tcl: Fix [tcl_findLibrary] to be sure it sets $varName
  7394 	only if a successful library script is found. [Bug 577033]
  7395 
  7396 2002-07-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7397 
  7398 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileCatchCmd): return
  7399 	TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE instead of TCL_ERROR: let the failure happen at
  7400 	runtime so that it can be caught [Bug 577015].
  7401 
  7402 2002-07-02  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
  7403 
  7404 	* doc/tcltest.n: Markup fixes, spellcheck.
  7405 
  7406 2002-07-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7407 
  7408 	* doc/tcltest.n: more refinements of the documentation.
  7409 
  7410 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Added trace to be sure the stdio
  7411 	constraint is updated whenever the [interpreter] changes.
  7412 
  7413 	* doc/tcltest.n:		Reverted [makeFile] and [viewFile] to
  7414 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	their former behavior, and documented
  7415 	* tests/cmdAH.test:		it. Corrected misspelling of hook
  7416 	* tests/event.test:		procedure. Restored tests.
  7417 	* tests/http.test:
  7418 	* tests/io.test:
  7419 
  7420 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Simplified logic of [GetMatchingFiles]
  7421 	and [GetMatchingDirectories], removing special case processing.
  7422 
  7423 	* doc/tcltest.n: More documentation updates. Reference sections are
  7424 	complete. Only examples need adding.
  7425 
  7426 2002-07-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  7427 
  7428 	* tests/fCmd.test:
  7429 	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: clearer error msgs for 'file link', as per the
  7430 	man page.

  7471 
  7472 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Made Solaris use gcc for linking
  7473 	when building with gcc to resolve problems with undefined symbols
  7474 	being present when tcl library used with non-gcc linker at later
  7475 	stage. Symbols were compiler-generated, so it is the compiler's
  7476 	business to define them. [Bug 541181]
  7477 
  7478 2002-07-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7479 
  7480 	* doc/tcltest.n: more work in progress updating tcltest docs.
  7481 
  7482 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Change [configure -match] to stop
  7483 	treating an empty list as a list of the single pattern "*". Changed
  7484 	the default value to [list *] so default operation remains the same.
  7485 
  7486 	* tests/pkg/samename.tcl: restored. Needed by pkgMkIndex.test.
  7487 
  7488 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: restored writeability testing of
  7489 	-tmpdir, augmented by a special exception for the deafault value.
  7490 
  7491 2002-07-01  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  7492 
  7493 	* doc/concat.n: Documented the *real* behaviour of [concat]!
  7494 
  7495 2002-06-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7496 
  7497 	* doc/tcltest.n: more work in progress updating tcltest docs.
  7498 
  7499 	* tests/README:		Updated the instructions on running and
  7500 	* tests/cmdMZ.test:	adding to the test suite.  Also updated
  7501 	* tests/encoding.test:	several tests, mostly to correctly create
  7502 	* tests/fCmd.test:	and destroy any temporary files in the
  7503 	* tests/info.test:	[temporaryDirectory] of tcltest.
  7504 	* tests/interp.test:
  7505 
  7506 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Stopped checking for writeability of
  7507 	-tmpdir value because no default directory can be guaranteed to be
  7508 	writeable.
  7509 
  7510 	* tests/autoMkindex.tcl: removed.
  7511 	* tests/pkg/samename.tcl: removed.
  7512 	* tests/pkg/magicchar.tcl: removed.
  7513 	* tests/pkg/magicchar2.tcl: removed.
  7514 	* tests/autoMkindex.test: Updated auto_mkIndex tests to use [makeFile]
  7515 	and [removeFile] so tests are done in [temporaryDirecotry] where write
  7516 	access is guaranteed.
  7517 
  7518 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Fixed [makeFile] and [viewFile] to
  7519 	* tests/cmdAH.test:		accurately reflect a file's contents.
  7520 	* tests/event.test:		Updated tests that depended on buggy
  7521 	* tests/http.test:		behavior.  Also added warning messages
  7522 	* tests/io.test:		to "-debug 1" operations to debug test
  7523 	* tests/iogt.test:		calls to (make|remove)(File|Directory).
  7524 
  7525 	* unix/mkLinks: `make mklinks` on 6-27 commits.
  7526 
  7527 2002-06-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7528 
  7529 	* generic/tclCompile.h: modified the macro TclEmitPush to not call its
  7530 	first argument repeatedly or pass it to other macros, [Bug 575194]
  7531 	reported by Peter Spjuth.
  7532 
  7533 2002-06-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7534 
  7535 	* docs/tcltest.n:	Doc revisions in progress.
  7536 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Corrected -testdir default value. Was
  7537 	not reliable, and disagreed with docs! Thanks to Hemang Lavana. [Bug
  7538 	575150]
  7539 
  7540 2002-06-28  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  7541 
  7542 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:	Renamed the Tcl_Platform* #defines to
  7543 	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c:	TclOS* because they are only used
  7544 	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:	internally.  Also stopped double-#def
  7545 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:	of TclOSlstat [Bug 566099, post-rename]
  7546 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c:
  7547 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
  7548 
  7549 	* doc/string.n: Improved documentation for [string last] along lines
  7550 	described in [Bug 574799] so it indicates that the supplied index
  7551 	marks the end of the search space.
  7552 
  7553 2002-06-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7554 
  7555 	* doc/dde.n:		Work in progress updating the documentation
  7556 	* doc/http.n:		of the packages that come bundled with
  7557 	* doc/msgcat.n:		the Tcl source distribution, notably tcltest.
  7558 	* doc/registry.n:
  7559 	* doc/tcltest.n:
  7560 
  7561 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Made sure that the TCLTEST_OPTIONS
  7562 	environment variablle configures tcltest at package load time.
  7563 
  7564 2002-06-26  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  7565 
  7566 	* tests/fileSystem.test:
  7567 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to handling of empty paths "" which are not
  7568 	claimed by any filesystem [Bug 573758]. Ensure good error messages are
  7569 	given in all cases.
  7570 	* tests/cmdAH.test:
  7571 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: fix to bug reported as part of [Patch 566669].
  7572 	Thanks to Taguchi, Takeshi for the report.
  7573 
  7574 2002-06-26  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
  7575 
  7576 	* unix/tclUnixTime.c: Make [clock format] respect locale settings.
  7577 	* tests/clock.test:   [Bug 565880]. ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
  7578 
  7579 2002-06-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7580 
  7581 	* doc/CrtInterp.3:
  7582 	* doc/StringObj.3: clarifications by Don Porter, [Bugs 493995, 500930]
  7583 
  7584 2002-06-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7585 
  7586 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Corrected suppression of -verbose skip
  7587 	* tests/tcltest.test:		and start by [test -output]. Also
  7588 	corrected test suite errors exposed by corrected code. [Bug 564656]
  7589 
  7590 2002-06-25  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
  7591 
  7592 	* unix/tcl.m4:	     New macro SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES.
  7593 	* unix/configure.in: Added support for symlinks and compression
  7594 	* unix/Makefile.in:  when installing the manpages. [Patch 518052]
  7595 	* unix/mkLinks.tcl:  Default is still hardlinks and no compression.
  7596 
  7597 	* unix/mkLinks:	     generated
  7598 	* unix/configure:
  7599 
  7600 	* unix/README:	     Added documentation for the new features.
  7601 
  7602 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_TCLCONFIG): Replaced ${exec_prefix}/lib by
  7603 	${libdir}.
  7604 
  7605 2002-06-25  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  7606 
  7607 	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): Fix of critical [Bug 533364]
  7608 	generated when the index is bad and the result is a shared object. The
  7609 	T_ASTO(T_GOR, ...) idiom likely exists elsewhere though. Also removed
  7610 	some cruft that just complicated things to no advantage.
  7611 	(SetEndOffsetFromAny): Same fix, though this wasn't on the path
  7612 	excited by the bug.
  7613 
  7614 2002-06-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7615 
  7616 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Implementation of TIP 101.  Adds
  7617 	* tests/parseOld.test:		and exports a [configure] command
  7618 	* tests/tcltest.test:		from tcltest.
  7619 
  7620 2002-06-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7621 
  7622 	* changes: updated changes file for 8.4b1 release.
  7623 
  7624 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Corrections to tcltest and the
  7625 	* tests/basic.test:		Tcl test suite so that a test
  7626 	* tests/cmdInfo.test:		with options -constraints knownBug
  7627 	* tests/compile.test:		-limitConstraints 1 only tests the
  7628 	* tests/encoding.test:		knownBug tests. Mostly involves
  7629 	* tests/env.test:		replacing direct access to the
  7630 	* tests/event.test:		testConstraints array with calls
  7631 	* tests/exec.test:		to the testConstraint command
  7632 	* tests/execute.test:		(which requires tcltest version 2)
  7633 	* tests/fCmd.test:
  7634 	* tests/format.test:
  7635 	* tests/http.test:
  7636 	* tests/httpold.test:

  7647 2002-06-22  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  7648 
  7649 	* tools/tcl.wse.in (Disk Label), unix/tcl.spec (version):
  7650 	* win/README.binary, README, win/configure.in, unix/configure.in:
  7651 	* generic/tcl.h (TCL_RELEASE_*, TCL_PATCH_LEVEL): Bump to beta1.
  7652 
  7653 2002-06-21  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
  7654 
  7655 	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:
  7656 	* generic/tclParseExpr.c: LogSyntaxError() should reset the
  7657 	interpreter result [Bug 550142 "Tcl_ExprObj -> abort"]
  7658 
  7659 2002-06-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7660 
  7661 	* unix/Makefile.in:	Updated all package install directories to
  7662 	* win/Makefile.in:	match current Major.minor versions of the
  7663 	* win/makefile.bc:	packages. Added tcltest package to
  7664 	* win/makefile.vc:	installation on Windows.
  7665 
  7666 	* library/init.tcl:  Corrected comments and namespace style issues.
  7667 	Thanks to Bruce Stephens. [Bug 572025]
  7668 
  7669 2002-06-21  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  7670 
  7671 	* tests/cmdAH.test:	     Added TIP#99 implementation of 'file
  7672 	* tests/fCmd.test:	     link'. Supports creation of symbolic and
  7673 	* tests/fileName.test:	     hard links in the native filesystems and
  7674 	* tests/fileSystem.test:     in vfs's, when the individual filesystem
  7675 	* generic/tclTest.c:	     supports the concept.
  7676 	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:
  7677 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
  7678 	* generic/tcl.h:
  7679 	* generic/tcl.decls:
  7680 	* doc/FileSystem.3:
  7681 	* doc/file.n:
  7682 	* mac/tclMacFile.c:
  7683 	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
  7684 	* win/tclWinFile.c: Also enhanced speed of 'file normalize' on Windows
  7685 
  7686 2002-06-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7687 
  7688 	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): fix for [Bug 571385] in
  7689 	the implementation of TIP#62 (command tracing). Vince Darley, Hemang
  7690 	Lavana & Don Porter: thanks.
  7691 
  7692 2002-06-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7693 
  7694 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj): clarified and simplified the
  7695 	logic for compilation/recompilation.
  7696 
  7697 2002-06-19  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
  7698 
  7699 	* doc/file.n: Fixed indentation.  No substantive changes.
  7700 
  7701 2002-06-19  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  7702 
  7703 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): get the resultPtr again as
  7704 	the Tcl_ObjSetVar2 may cause the result to change.
  7705 	[Patch 558324] (watson)
  7706 
  7707 2002-06-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7708 
  7709 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): removing unused "for(;;)" loop;
  7710 	improved comments; re-indentation.
  7711 
  7712 2002-06-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7713 
  7714 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC):
  7715 	- elimination of duplicated code in the non-immediate INST_INCR
  7716 	  instructions.
  7717 	- elimination of 103 (!) TclDecrRefCount macros. The different
  7718 	  instructions now jump back to a common "DecrRefCount zone" at the
  7719 	  top of the loop. The macro "ADJUST_PC" was replaced by two macros
  7720 	  "NEXT_INST_F" and "NEXT_INST_V" that take three params
  7721 	  (pcAdjustment, # of stack objects to discard, resultObjPtr handling
  7722 	  flag). The only instructions that retain a TclDecrRefCount are
  7723 	  INST_POP (for speed), the common code for the non-immediate
  7724 	  INST_INCR, INST_FOREACH_STEP and the two INST_LSET.
  7725 
  7726 	The object size of tclExecute.o was reduced by approx 20% since the
  7727 	start of the consolidation drive, while making room for some peep-hole
  7728 	optimisation at runtime.
  7729 
  7730 2002-06-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7731 
  7732 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC, INST_DONE): small bug in the panic code
  7733 	for tcl-stack corruption.
  7734 
  7735 2002-06-17  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  7736 
  7737 	Trims to support the removal of RESOURCE_INCLUDED from rc scripts from
  7738 	[FRQ 565088].
  7739 
  7740 	* generic/tcl.h: moved the #ifndef RC_INVOKED start block up in the
  7741 	file. rc scripts don't need to know thread mutexes.
  7742 
  7743 	* win/tcl.rc:
  7744 	* win/tclsh.rc: removed the #define RESOURCE_INCLUDED to let the
  7745 	built-in -DRC_INVOKED to the work.
  7746 
  7747 2002-06-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  7748 
  7749 	* doc/CrtTrace.3:	 Added TIP#62 implementation of command
  7750 	* doc/trace.n:		 execution tracing [FRQ 462580] (lavana).
  7751 	* generic/tcl.h:	 This includes enter/leave tracing as well
  7752 	* generic/tclBasic.c:	 as inter-procedure stepping.
  7753 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
  7754 	* generic/tclCompile.c:
  7755 	* generic/tclExecute.c:
  7756 	* generic/tclInt.decls:
  7757 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  7758 	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
  7759 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
  7760 	* generic/tclVar.c:
  7761 	* tests/trace.test:
  7762 
  7763 2002-06-17  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
  7764 
  7765 	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Fixed [bug 554068] ([exec] on
  7766 	windows did not treat { in filenames well.). Bug reported by Vince
  7767 	Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>, patch provided by Vince
  7768 	too.
  7769 
  7770 2002-06-17  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
  7771 
  7772 	* generic/tcl.h: #ifdef logic for K&R C backwards compatibility
  7773 	changed to assume modern C by default. See [FRQ 565088] for full
  7774 	details.
  7775 
  7776 2002-06-17  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7777 
  7778 	* doc/msgcat.n: Corrected en_UK references to en_GB. UK is not a
  7779 	country designation recognized in ISO 3166.
  7780 
  7781 	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:  More Windows Registry locale codes from
  7782 	Bruno Haible.
  7783 
  7784 	* doc/msgcat.n:
  7785 	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:
  7786 	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:
  7787 	* tests/msgcat.test:  Revised locale initialization to interpret
  7788 	environment variable locale values according to XPG4, and to recognize
  7789 	the LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES values over that of LANG. Also added many
  7790 	Windows Registry locale values to those recognized by msgcat. Revised
  7791 	tests and docs. Bumped to version 1.3. Thanks to Bruno Haible for the
  7792 	report and assistance crafting the solution. [Bug 525522, 525525]
  7793 
  7794 2002-06-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7795 
  7796 	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileTokens): a better algorithm for the
  7797 	previous bug fix.
  7798 
  7799 2002-06-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7800 
  7801 	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileTokens):
  7802 	* tests/compile.test: [Bug 569438] in the processing of dollar
  7803 	variables; report by Georgios Petasis.
  7804 
  7805 2002-06-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7806 
  7807 	* generic/tclExecute.c: bug in the consolidation of the INCR_..._STK
  7808 	instructions; the bug could not be exercised as the (faulty)
  7809 	instruction INST_INCR_ARRAY_STK was never compiled-in (related to [Bug
  7810 	569438]).
  7811 
  7812 2002-06-14  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7813 
  7814 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peep-hole
  7815 	optimisation of variables (INST_STORE, INST_INCR) and commands
  7816 	(INST_INVOKE); faster check for the existence of a catch.
  7817 	(TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peep-hole optimisation of comparisons.
  7818 	(TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peep-hole optimisation of INST_FOREACH -
  7819 	relies on peculiarities of the code produced by the bytecode compiler.
  7820 
  7821 2002-06-14  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  7822 
  7823 	* win/rules.vc: The test for compiler optimizations was in error.
  7824 	Thanks goes to Roy Terry <royterry@earthlink.net> for his assistance
  7825 	with this.
  7826 
  7827 2002-06-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  7828 
  7829 	* doc/trace.n, tests/trace.test:
  7830 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd,TclTraceCommandObjCmd)
  7831 	(TclTraceVariableObjCmd): Changed references to "trace list" to "trace
  7832 	info" as mandated by TIP#102.
  7833 
  7834 2002-06-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7835 
  7836 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): consolidated code for the
  7837 	conditional branch instructions.
  7838 
  7839 2002-06-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7840 
  7841 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): fixed the previous
  7842 	patch - wouldn't compile with TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG set.
  7843 
  7844 2002-06-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7845 
  7846 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): consolidated the handling
  7847 	of exception returns to INST_INVOKE and INST_EVAL, as well as most of
  7848 	the code for INST_CONTINUE and INST_BREAK, in the new jump target
  7849 	"processExceptionReturn".
  7850 
  7851 2002-06-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7852 
  7853 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): consolidated variable
  7854 	handling opcodes, replaced redundant code with some 'goto'. All
  7855 	store/append/lappend opcodes on the same data type now share the main
  7856 	code; same with incr opcodes.
  7857 	* generic/tclVar.c: added the bit TCL_TRACE_READS to the possible
  7858 	flags to Tcl_SetVar2Ex - it causes read traces to be fired prior to
  7859 	setting the variable. This is used in the core for [lappend].
  7860 
  7861 	***NOTE*** the usage of TCL_TRACE_READS in Tcl_(Obj)?GetVar.* is not
  7862 	documented; there, it causes the call to create the variable if it
  7863 	does not exist. The new usage in Tcl_(Obj)?SetVar.* remains
  7864 	undocumented too ...
  7865 
  7866 2002-06-13  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  7867 
  7868 	* tests/fCmd.test:
  7869 	* tests/winFile.test:
  7870 	* tests/fileSystem.test:
  7871 	* generic/tclTest.c:
  7872 	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:
  7873 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
  7874 	* doc/FileSystem.3:
  7875 	* mac/tclMacFile.c:
  7876 	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
  7877 	* win/tclWinFile.c: fixed up further so both compiles and actually
  7878 	works with VC++ 5 or 6.
  7879 	* win/tclWinInt.h:
  7880 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: cleaned up code and vfs tests and added tests for
  7881 	the internal changes of 2002-06-12, to see whether WinTcl on NTFS can
  7882 	coexist peacefully with links in the filesystem. Added new test
  7883 	command 'testfilelink' to enable the newer code to be tested.
  7884 	* tests/fCmd.test: (made certain tests of 'testfilelink' not run on
  7885 	unix).
  7886 
  7887 2002-06-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7888 
  7889 	* tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteTrace): fixed [Bug 568123] (thanks to
  7890 	Hemang Lavana)
  7891 
  7892 2002-06-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  7893 
  7894 	* win/tclWinFile.c: corrected the symbolic link handling code to
  7895 	allow it to compile. Added real definition of REPARSE_DATA_BUFFER
  7896 	(found in winnt.h). Most of the added definitions appear to have
  7897 	correct, cross-Win-version equivalents in winnt.h and should be
  7898 	removed, but just making things "work" for now.

  7900 2002-06-12  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  7901 
  7902 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
  7903 	* generic/tcl.decls:
  7904 	* generic/tclDecls.h: made code for Tcl_FSNewNativePath agree with man
  7905 	pages.
  7906 
  7907 	* doc/FileSystem.3: clarified the circumstances under which certain
  7908 	functions are called in the presence of symlinks.
  7909 
  7910 	* win/tclWinFile.c:
  7911 	* win/tclWinPort.h:
  7912 	* win/tclWinInt.h:
  7913 	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:  Fix for Windows to allow 'file lstat', 'file
  7914 	type', 'glob -type l', 'file copy', 'file delete', 'file normalize',
  7915 	and all VFS code to work correctly in the presence of symlinks
  7916 	(previously Tcl's behaviour was not very well defined). This also
  7917 	fixes possible serious problems in all versions of WinTcl where 'file
  7918 	delete' on a NTFS symlink could delete the original, not the symlink.
  7919 	Note: symlinks cannot yet be created in pure Tcl.
  7920 
  7921 2002-06-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7922 
  7923 	* generic/tclBasic.c:
  7924 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
  7925 	* generic/tclInt.h: reverted the new compilation functions; replaced
  7926 	by a more general approach described below.
  7927 
  7928 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
  7929 	* generic/tclCompile.c: made *all* compiled variable access attempts
  7930 	create an indexed variable - even get or incr without previous set.
  7931 	This allows indexed access to local variables that are created and set
  7932 	at runtime, for example by [global], [upvar], [variable], [regexp],
  7933 	[regsub].
  7934 
  7935 2002-06-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7936 
  7937 	* doc/global.n:
  7938 	* doc/info.n:
  7939 	* test/info.test:
  7940 	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: fix for [Bug 567386], [info locals] was
  7941 	reporting some linked variables.
  7942 
  7943 	* generic/tclBasic.c:
  7944 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
  7945 	* generic/tclInt.h: added compile functions for [global], [variable]
  7946 	and [upvar]. They just declare the new local variables, the commands
  7947 	themselves are not compiled-in. This gives a notably faster read
  7948 	access to these linked variables.
  7949 
  7950 2002-06-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  7951 
  7952 	* generic/tclExecute.c: optimised algorithm for exception range
  7953 	lookup; part of [Patch 453709].
  7954 
  7955 2002-06-10  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  7956 
  7957 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: fixed [Bug 566669]
  7958 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: improved and sped up handling of native paths
  7959 	(duplication and conversion to normalized paths), particularly on
  7960 	Windows.
  7961 	* modified part of above commit, due to problems on Linux. Will
  7962 	re-examine bug report and evaluate more closely.
  7963 
  7964 2002-06-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7965 
  7966 	* tests/tcltest.test:  More corrections to test suite so that tests of
  7967 	failing [test]s don't show up themselves as failing tests.
  7968 
  7969 2002-06-07  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  7970 
  7971 	* generic/tclExecute.c: Tidied up headers in relation to float.h to
  7972 	cut the cruft and ensure DBL_MAX is defined since doubles seem to be
  7973 	the same size everywhere; if the assumption isn't true, the variant
  7974 	platforms had better have run configure...
  7975 
  7976 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h (EOVERFLOW): Added code to define it if it wasn't
  7977 	previously defined. Also some other general tidying and adding of
  7978 	comments. [Bugs 563122, 564595]
  7979 	* compat/tclErrno.h: Added definition for EOVERFLOW copied from
  7980 	Solaris headers; I've been unable to find any uses of EFTYPE, which
  7981 	was the error code previously occupying the slot, in Tcl, or any
  7982 	definition of it in the Solaris headers.
  7983 
  7984 2002-06-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  7985 
  7986 	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Remove hard coded CFLAGS=-g and add
  7987 	CFLAGS_DEBUG, CFLAGS_OPTIMIZE, and CFLAGS_DEFAULT varaibles. [Bug
  7988 	565488] 
  7989 
  7990 2002-06-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  7991 
  7992 	* tests/tcltest.test:  Corrections to test suite so that tests of
  7993 	failing [test]s don't show up themselves as failing tests.
  7994 
  7995 	* tests/io.test: Fixed up namespace variable resolution issues
  7996 	revealed by running test suite with "-singleproc 1".
  7997 
  7998 	* doc/tcltest.n:
  7999 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
  8000 	* tests/tcltest.test: Several updates to tcltest.
  8001 	  1) changed to lazy initialization of test constraints
  8002 	  2) deprecated [initConstraintsHook]
  8003 	  3) repaired badly broken [limitConstraints].
  8004 	  4) deprecated [threadReap] and [mainThread]
  8005 	[Patch 512214, Bug 558742, Bug 461000, Bug 534903]
  8006 
  8007 2002-06-06  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  8008 
  8009 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpReaddir, TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime):
  8010 	added mutex wrapped calls to readdir, localtime & gmtime in case their
  8011 	thread-safe *_r counterparts are not available.
  8012 	* unix/tcl.m4: added configure check for readdir_r
  8013 	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): set TCL_DEFAULT_ENCODING to utf-8 on MacOSX
  8014 	(where posix file apis expect utf-8, not iso8859-1).
  8015 	* unix/configure: regen
  8016 	* unix/Makefile.in: set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in parallel to
  8017 	LD_LIBRARY_PATH for MacOSX dynamic linker.
  8018 	* generic/tclEnv.c (TclSetEnv): fix env var setting on MacOSX. Adapted
  8019 	from [Patch 524352] (jkbonfield).
  8020 
  8021 2002-06-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  8022 
  8023 	* doc/Tcl_Main.3: Documented $tcl_rcFileName and added more
  8024 	clarifications about the intended use of Tcl_Main(). [Bug 505651]
  8025 
  8026 2002-06-05  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  8027 
  8028 	* generic/tclFileName.c (TclGlob): mac specific fix to recent changes
  8029 	in 'glob -tails' handling.
  8030 	* mac/tclMacPort.h:
  8031 	* mac/tclMacChan.c: fixed TIP#91 bustage.
  8032 	* mac/tclMacResource.c (Tcl_MacConvertTextResource): added utf
  8033 	conversion of text resource contents.
  8034 	* tests/macFCmd.test (macFCmd-1.2): allow CWIE creator.
  8035 
  8036 2002-06-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  8037 
  8038 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
  8039 	* tests/init.test:
  8040 	* tests/tcltest.test:	Added more TIP 85 tests from Arjen Markus.
  8041 	Converted tcltest.test to use a private namespace. Fixed bugs in
  8042 	[tcltest::Eval] revealed by calling [tcltest::test] from a non-global
  8043 	namespace, and namespace errors in init.test.
  8044 
  8045 2002-06-04  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  8046 
  8047 	* win/README: Update msys+mingw URL.
  8048 
  8049 2002-06-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  8050 
  8051 	* doc/tcltest.n:
  8052 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
  8053 	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:
  8054 	* tests/tcltest.test:  Implementation of TIP 85. Allows tcltest users
  8055 	to add new legal values of the -match option to [test], associating
  8056 	each with a Tcl command that does the matching of expected results
  8057 	with actual results of tests. Thanks to Arjen Markus. => tcltest 2.1
  8058 	[Patch 521362]
  8059 
  8060 2002-06-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  8061 
  8062 	* doc/namespace.n: added description of [namepace forget] behaviour
  8063 	for unqualified patterns [Bug 559268]
  8064 
  8065 2002-06-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  8066 
  8067 	* generic/tclExecute.c: reverting an accidental modification in the
  8068 	last commit.
  8069 
  8070 2002-06-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  8071 
  8072 	* doc/Tcl.n: clarify the empty variable name issue ([Bug 549285]
  8073 	reported by Tom Krehbiel, patch by Don Porter).
  8074 
  8075 2002-05-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  8076 
  8077 	* library/package.tcl:	Fixed leak of slave interp in [pkg_mkIndex].
  8078 	Thanks to Helmut for report. [Bug 550534]
  8079 
  8080 	* tests/io.test:
  8081 	* tests/main.test:  Use the "stdio" constraint to control whether an
  8082 	[open "|[interpreter]"] is attempted.
  8083 
  8084 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclMathInProgress,TclExecuteByteCode
  8085 	(ExprCallMathFunc):
  8086 	* generic/tclInt.h (TclMathInProgress):
  8087 	* unix/Makefile.in (tclMtherr.*):
  8088 	* unix/configure.in (NEED_MATHERR):
  8089 	* unix/tclAppInit.c (matherr):
  8090 	* unix/tclMtherr.c (removed file):
  8091 	* win/tclWinMtherr.c (_matherr): Removed internal routine
  8092 	TclMathInProgress and Unix implementation of matherr(). These are now
  8093 	obsolete, dealing with very old versions of the C math library.
  8094 	Windows version is retained in case Borland compilers require it, but
  8095 	it is inactive. Thanks to Joe English. [Bug 474335, Patch 555635]
  8096 	* unix/configure: regen
  8097 
  8098 2002-05-30  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  8099 
  8100 	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:
  8101 	* generic/tclCompile.c:
  8102 	* generic/tclCompile.h: removed exprIsJustVarRef and
  8103 	exprIsComparison from the ExprInfo and CompileEnv structs. These were
  8104 	set, but not used since dec 1999 [Bug 562383].
  8105 
  8106 2002-05-30  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  8107 
  8108 	* generic/tclFileName.c (TclGlob): fix to longstanding 'knownBug' in
  8109 	fileName tests 15.2-15.4, and fix to a new Tcl 8.4 bug in certain uses
  8110 	of 'glob -tails'.
  8111 	* tests/fileName.test: removed 'knownBug' flag from some tests, added
  8112 	some new tests for above bugs.
  8113 
  8114 2002-05-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  8115 
  8116 	* unix/configure: regen'ed
  8117 	* unix/configure.in: replaced bigendian check with autoconf standard
  8118 	AC_C_BIG_ENDIAN, which defined WORDS_BIGENDIAN on bigendian systems.
  8119 	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharNcmp):
  8120 	* generic/tclInt.h (TclUniCharNcmp): use WORDS_BIGENDIAN instead of
  8121 	TCL_OPTIMIZE_UNICODE_COMPARE to enable memcmp alternative.
  8122 
  8123 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode INST_STR_CMP):
  8124 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): changed the case for choosing
  8125 	the Tcl_UniCharNcmp compare to when both objs are of StringType, as
  8126 	benchmarks show that is the optimal check (both bigendian and
  8127 	littleendian systems).
  8128 
  8129 2002-05-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  8130 
  8131 	* generic/tclMain.c: Removed "dummy" reference to Tcl_LinkVar. It is
  8132 	no longer needed since Tcl_Main() now actually calls Tcl_LinkVar().
  8133 	Thanks to Joe English for pointing that out.
  8134 
  8135 2002-05-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  8136 
  8137 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode):
  8138 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Use the macro version.
  8139 	* generic/tclInt.h (TclUniCharNcmp): Optimised still further with a
  8140 	macro for use in sensitive places like tclExecute.c
  8141 
  8142 	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharNcmp): Use new flag to figure out when
  8143 	we can use an optimal comparison scheme, and default to the old scheme
  8144 	in other cases which is at least safe.
  8145 	* unix/configure.in (TCL_OPTIMIZE_UNICODE_COMPARE): New optional flag
  8146 	that indicates when we can use memcmp() to compare Unicode strings
  8147 	(i.e. when the high-byte of a Tcl_UniChar precedes the low-byte.)
  8148 
  8149 2002-05-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  8150 
  8151 	* generic/tclInt.decls:
  8152 	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
  8153 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
  8154 	* generic/tclUtf.c: added TclpUtfNcmp2 private command that mirrors
  8155 	Tcl_UtfNcmp, but takes n in bytes, not utf-8 chars. This provides a
  8156 	faster alternative for comparing utf strings internally.
  8157 	(Tcl_UniCharNcmp, Tcl_UniCharNcasecmp): removed the explicit end of
  8158 	string check as it wasn't correct for the function (by doc and logic).
  8159 
  8160 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): reworked the string equal
  8161 	comparison code to use TclpUtfNcmp2 as well as short-circuit for equal
  8162 	objects or unequal length strings in the equal case. Removed the use
  8163 	of goto and streamlined the other parts.
  8164 
  8165 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): added check for object
  8166 	equality in the comparison instructions. Added short-circuit for !=
  8167 	length strings in INST_EQ, INST_NEQ and INST_STR_CMP. Reworked
  8168 	INST_STR_CMP to use TclpUtfNcmp2 where appropriate, and only use
  8169 	Tcl_UniCharNcmp when at least one of the objects is a Unicode obj with
  8170 	no utf bytes.
  8171 
  8172 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): removed error creation
  8173 	in code that no longer throws an error.
  8174 
  8175 	* tests/string.test:
  8176 	* tests/stringComp.test: added more string comparison checks.
  8177 
  8178 	* tests/clock.test: better qualified 9.1 constraint check for %s.
  8179 
  8180 2002-05-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  8181 
  8182 	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (TclpRealloc, TclpFree): protect against
  8183 	the case when NULL is based.
  8184 
  8185 	* tests/clock.test: added clock-9.1
  8186 	* compat/strftime.c:
  8187 	* generic/tclClock.c:
  8188 	* generic/tclInt.decls:
  8189 	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
  8190 	* unix/tclUnixTime.c: fix for Windows msvcrt mem leak caused by using
  8191 	an env(TZ) setting trick for in clock format -gmt 1. This also makes
  8192 	%s seem to work correctly with -gmt 1 as well as making it a lot
  8193 	faster by avoid the env(TZ) hack. TclpStrftime now takes useGMT as an
  8194 	arg. [Bug 559376]
  8195 
  8196 2002-05-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  8197 
  8198 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fixes to Tcl_FSLoadFile when called on a file
  8199 	inside a vfs. This should avoid leaving temporary files sitting around
  8200 	on exit. [Bug 545579]
  8201 
  8202 2002-05-27  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  8203 
  8204 	* win/tclWinError.c: Added comment on conversion of
  8205 	ERROR_NEGATIVE_SEEK because that is a mapping that really belongs, and
  8206 	not a catch-all case.
  8207 	* win/tclWinPort.h (EOVERFLOW): Should be either EFBIG or EINVAL
  8208 	* generic/tclPosixStr.c (Tcl_ErrnoId, Tcl_ErrnoMsg): EOVERFLOW can
  8209 	potentially be a synonym for EINVAL.
  8210 
  8211 2002-05-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  8212 
  8213 	=== Changes due to TIP#91 ===
  8214 
  8215 	* win/tclWinPort.h: Added declaration of EOVERFLOW.
  8216 	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Added documentation of wideSeekProc.
  8217 	* generic/tclIOGT.c (TransformSeekProc, TransformWideSeekProc):
  8218 	Adapted to use the new channel mechanism.
  8219 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileSeekProc, FileWideSeekProc): Renamed
  8220 	FileSeekProc to FileWideSeekProc and created new FileSeekProc which
  8221 	has the old-style interface and which errors out with EOVERFLOW when
  8222 	the returned file position can't fit into the return type (int for
  8223 	historical reasons.)
  8224 	* win/tclWinChan.c (FileSeekProc, FileWideSeekProc): Renamed
  8225 	FileSeekProc to FileWideSeekProc and created new FileSeekProc which
  8226 	has the old-style interface and which errors out with EOVERFLOW when
  8227 	the returned file position can't fit into the return type (int for
  8228 	historical reasons.)
  8229 	* mac/tclMacChan.c (FileSeek): Reverted to old interface; Macs lack
  8230 	large-file support because I can't see how to add it.
  8231 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek, Tcl_Tell): Given these functions
  8232 	knowledge of the new arrangement of channel types.
  8233 	(Tcl_ChannelVersion): Added recognition of new version code.
  8234 	(HaveVersion): New function to do version checking.
  8235 	(Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc, Tcl_ChannelFlushProc)
  8236 	(Tcl_ChannelHandlerProc): Made these functions use HaveVersion for
  8237 	ease of future maintainability.
  8238 	(Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc): Obvious lookup function.
  8239 	* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_ChannelType): New wideSeekProc field, and
  8240 	seekProc type restored to old interpretation.
  8241 	(TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_3): New channel version.
  8242 
  8243 2002-05-24  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
  8244 
  8245 	* tests/winPipe.test: Applied patch for [Bug 549617]. Patch and bug
  8246 	report by Kevin Kenny <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>.
  8247 
  8248 	* win/tclWinSock.c (TcpWatchProc): Fixed [Bug 557878]. We are not
  8249 	allowed to mess with the watch mask if the socket is a server socket.
  8250 	I believe that the original reporter is George Peter Staplin.
  8251 
  8252 2002-05-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  8253 
  8254 	* unix/configure: Regen.
  8255 	* unix/configure.in: Invoke SC_ENABLE_SHARED before calling
  8256 	SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS so that the SHARED_BUILD variable can be checked
  8257 	inside SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS.
  8258 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Pass -non_shared instead of -shared
  8259 	to ld when configured with --disable-shared under OSF. [Bug 540390]
  8260 
  8261 2002-05-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  8262 
  8263 	* generic/tclInt.h: added prototype for TclpFilesystemPathType().
  8264 	* mac/tclMacChan.c: use MSL provided creator type if available instead
  8265 	of the default 'MPW '.
  8266 
  8267 2002-05-16  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sf.net>
  8268 
  8269 	* doc/CrtObjCmd.3: Added Tcl_GetCommandFromObj, Tcl_GetCommandFullName

  8272 2002-05-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  8273 
  8274 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyOutputProc): #if/#endif-ed this function out
  8275 	to stop compiler warnings. Also much general tidying of comments in
  8276 	this file and removal of whitespace from blank lines.
  8277 
  8278 2002-05-13  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  8279 
  8280 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (SETBREAK): Solaris thinks ioctl() takes a signed
  8281 	second argument, and Linux thinks ioctl() takes an unsigned second
  8282 	argument. So need a longer definition of this macro to get neither to
  8283 	spew warnings...
  8284 
  8285 2002-05-13  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  8286 
  8287 	* generic/tclEvent.c:
  8288 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
  8289 	* generic/tclInt.h: clean up all memory allocated by the filesystem,
  8290 	via introduction of 'TclFinalizeFilesystem'. Move TclFinalizeLoad into
  8291 	TclFinalizeFilesystem so we can be sure it is called at just the right
  8292 	time. Fix bad comment also. [Bug 555078 and 'fs' part of 543549]
  8293 	* win/tclWinChan.c: fix comment referring to wrong function.
  8294 
  8295 2002-05-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  8296 
  8297 	* tests/load.test:
  8298 	* tests/safe.test:
  8299 	* tests/tcltest.test: Corrected some list-quoting issues and other
  8300 	matters that cause tests to fail when the patch includes special
  8301 	characters. Report from Vince Darley. [Bug 554068]. 
  8302 
  8303 2002-05-08    David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  8304 
  8305 	* doc/file.n:
  8306 	* tools/man2tcl.c:
  8307 	* tools/man2help2.tcl: Thanks to Peter Spjuth <peter.spjuth@space.se>,
  8308 	again. My prior fix for single-quote macro mis-understanding was
  8309 	wrong. Reverted to reimpliment the 'macro2' proc which handles
  8310 	single-quote macros and restored file.n text arrangement to avoid
  8311 	single-quotes on the first line. Sorry for all the confusion.
  8312 
  8313 2002-05-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  8314 
  8315 	* tools/man2tcl.c:
  8316 	* tools/man2help2.tcl: Proper source of macro error mis-understanding
  8317 	single-quote as the leading macro command found and repaired.
  8318 
  8319 	* doc/file.n: Reverted to prior state before I messed with it.
  8320 
  8321 2002-05-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  8322 
  8323 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Corrected [uplevel] quoting when
  8324 	[source]-ing test script in subdirectories.
  8325 	* tests/fileName.test:
  8326 	* tests/load.test:
  8327 	* tests/main.test:
  8328 	* tests/tcltest.test:
  8329 	* tests/unixInit.test: Fixes to test suite when there's a space in the
  8330 	working path. Thanks to Kevin Kenny.
  8331 
  8332 2002-05-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  8333 
  8334 	-- Changes from Peter Spjuth <peter.spjuth@space.se>
  8335 	* tools/man2tcl.c: Increased line buffer size and a bail-out if that
  8336 	should ever be over-run.
  8337 	* tools/man2help.tcl: Include Courier New font in rtf header.
  8338 	* tools/man2help2.tcl: Improved handling of CS/CE fields. Use Courier
  8339 	New for code samples and indent better.
  8340 
  8341 	* doc/file.n:
  8342 	* doc/TraceCmd.3:  winhelp conversion tools where understanding a ' as
  8343 	the first character on a line to be an unknown macro. Not knowing how
  8344 	to repair tools/man2tcl.c, I decided to rearrange the text in the docs
  8345 	instead.
  8346 
  8347 2002-05-07  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  8348 
  8349 	* generic/tclFileName.c: fix to similar segfault when using
  8350 	'glob -types nonsense -dir dirname -join * *'. [Bug 553320]
  8351 
  8352 	* doc/FileSystem.3: further documentation on vfs.
  8353 	* tests/cmdAH.test:
  8354 	* tests/fileSystem.test:
  8355 	* tests/pkgMkindex.test: Fix to testsuite bugs when running out of
  8356 	directory whose name contains '{' or '['.
  8357 
  8358 2002-05-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  8359 
  8360 	* tests/basic.test: Fix for [Bug 549607]
  8361 	* tests/encoding.test: Fix for [Bug 549610]
  8362 	These are testsuite bugs that caused failures when the filename
  8363 	contained spaces. Report & fix by Kevin Kenny.
  8364 
  8365 2002-05-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  8366 
  8367 	* generic/tclFileName.c: fix to freeing a bad object (i.e. segfault)
  8368 	when using 'glob -types nonsense -dir dirname'.
  8369 	* generic/tclWinFile.c: fix to [Bug 551306], also wrapped some long
  8370 	lines.
  8371 	* tests/fileName.test: added several tests for the above bugs.
  8372 	* doc/FileSystem.3: clarified documentation on refCount requirements
  8373 	of the object returned by the path type function.
  8374 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
  8375 	* win/tclWinFile.c:
  8376 	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
  8377 	* mac/tclMacFile.c: moved TclpFilesystemPathType to the platform
  8378 	specific directories, so we can add missing platform-specific
  8379 	implementations. On Windows, 'file system' now returns useful results
  8380 	like "native NTFS", "native FAT" for that system. Unix and MacOS still
  8381 	only return "native".
  8382 	* doc/file.n: clarified documentation.
  8383 	* tests/winFile.test: test for 'file system' returning correct values.
  8384 	* tests/fileSystem.test: test for 'file system' returning correct
  8385 	values. Clean up after failed previous test run.
  8386 
  8387 2002-04-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  8388 
  8389 	* unix/configure:
  8390 	* unix/tcl.m4: change HP-11 SHLIB_LD_LIBS from "" to ${LIBS} so that
  8391 	the .sl knows its dependent libs.
  8392 
  8393 2002-04-26  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  8394 
  8395 	* tests/obj.test (obj-11.[56]): Test conversion to boolean more
  8396 	thoroughly.
  8397 	* generic/tclObj.c (SetBooleanFromAny): Was not calling an integer
  8398 	parsing function on native 64-bit platforms! [Bug 548686]
  8399 
  8400 2002-04-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  8401 
  8402 	* generic/tclInt.h: corrected TclRememberJoinableThread decl to use
  8403 	VOID instead of void.
  8404 	* generic/tclThreadJoin.c: noted that this code isn't needed on Unix.
  8405 
  8406 2002-04-23  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  8407 
  8408 	* doc/exec.n:
  8409 	* doc/tclvars.n: doc updates [Patch 509426] (gravereaux)
  8410 
  8411 2002-04-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  8412 
  8413 	* mac/tclMacResource.r: added check of TCLTK_NO_LIBRARY_TEXT_RESOURCES
  8414 	#define to allow disabling the inclusion of the tcl library code in
  8415 	the resource fork of Tcl executables and shared libraries.
  8416 
  8417 2002-04-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  8418 
  8419 	* doc/TraceCmd.3: New file that documents Tcl_CommandTraceInfo,
  8420 	Tcl_TraceCommand and Tcl_UntraceCommand [Bug 414927]
  8421 
  8422 2002-04-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  8423 
  8424 	* generic/tclAlloc.c:
  8425 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  8426 	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (new):
  8427 	* unix/Makefile.in:
  8428 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
  8429 	* win/Makefile.in:
  8430 	* win/tclWinInt.h:
  8431 	* win/tclWinThrd.c: added new threaded allocator contributed by AOL
  8432 	that significantly reduces lock contention when multiple threads are
  8433 	in use. Only Windows and Unix implementations are ready, and the
  8434 	Windows one may need work. It is only used by default on Unix for now,
  8435 	and requires that USE_THREAD_ALLOC be defined (--enable-threads on
  8436 	Unix will define this).
  8437 
  8438 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSRegister, Tcl_FSUnregister): corrected
  8439 	calling of Tcl_ConditionWait to ensure that there would be a condition
  8440 	to wait upon.
  8441 
  8442 	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FileObjCmd): added cast in FILE_SIZE.
  8443 
  8444 	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoDeleteFile): check return of setattr API calls
  8445 	in file deletion for correct Win32 API handling.
  8446 
  8447 	* win/Makefile.in: correct dependencies for shell, gdb, runtest
  8448 	targets.
  8449 
  8450 	* doc/clock.n:
  8451 	* compat/strftime.c (_fmt): change strftime to correctly handle
  8452 	localized %c, %x and %X on Windows. Added some notes about how the
  8453 	other values could be further localized.
  8454 
  8455 2002-04-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  8456 
  8457 	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main): Free the memory allocated for the
  8458 	startup script path. [Bug 543549]
  8459 
  8460 	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: [mcmax] wasn't using the caller's
  8461 	namespace when determining the max translated length. Also made
  8462 	revisions for better use of namespace variables and more efficient
  8463 	[uplevel]s.
  8464 
  8465 	* doc/msgcat.n:
  8466 	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:
  8467 	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:	Added [mcload] to the export list of
  8468 	msgcat; bumped to 1.2.3. [Bug 544727]
  8469 
  8470 2002-04-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  8471 
  8472 	* generic/tclInt.decls:
  8473 	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
  8474 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
  8475 	* mac/tclMacFCmd.c:
  8476 	* mac/tclMacFile.c:
  8477 	* mac/tclMacUtil.c: Modified TclpObjNormalizePath to be alias file
  8478 	aware, and replaced various calls to FSpLocationFrom*Path by calls to
  8479 	new alias file aware versions FSpLLocationFrom*Path. The alias file
  8480 	aware routines don't resolve the last component of a path if it is an
  8481 	alias. This allows [file copy/delete] etc. to act correctly on alias
  8482 	files. (c.f. discussion in [Bug 511666])
  8483 
  8484 2002-04-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  8485 
  8486 	* tests/lindex.test (lindex-3.7):
  8487 	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): Stopped indexes from hitting
  8488 	wide ints. [Bug 526717]
  8489 
  8490 2002-04-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  8491 
  8492 	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
  8493 	* tests/info.test: [Bug 545325] info level didn't report namespace
  8494 	eval, bug report by Richard Suchenwirth.
  8495 
  8496 2002-04-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  8497 
  8498 	* doc/subst.n:	Clarified documentation on handling unusual return
  8499 	codes during substitution, and on variable substitutions implied by
  8500 	command substitution, and vice versa. [Bug 536838]
  8501 
  8502 2002-04-18  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  8503 
  8504 	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoBodyCmd):
  8505 	* tests/info.test (info-2.6): Proc bodies without string reps would
  8506 	report as empty [Bug 545644]
  8507 
  8508 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj): More clarification for comment on
  8509 	behaviour when substitutions are not well-formed, prompted by [Bug
  8510 	536831]; alas, removing the ill-defined behaviour is a lot of work.
  8511 
  8512 2002-04-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  8513 
  8514 	* generic/tclExecute.c:
  8515 	* tests/expr-old.test: fix for [Bug 542588] (Phil Ehrens), where "too
  8516 	large integers" were reported as "floating-point value" in [expr]
  8517 	error messages.
  8518 
  8519 2002-04-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  8520 
  8521 	* generic/tclEncoding.c (EscapeFromUtfProc):
  8522 	* generic/tclIO.c (WriteChars, Tcl_Close): corrected the handling of
  8523 	outputting end escapes for escape-based encodings.
  8524 	[Bug 526524] (yamamoto)
  8525 
  8526 2002-04-17  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  8527 
  8528 	* doc/tcltest.n:  Removed [saveState] and [restoreState] from tcltest
  8529 	2 documentation, effectively deprecating them. [Bug 495660]
  8530 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Made separate export for commands kept
  8531 	only for tcltest 1 compatibility.
  8532 
  8533 	* tests/iogt.test: Revised to run tests in a namespace, rather than
  8534 	use the useless and buggy [saveState] and [restoreState] commands of
  8535 	tcltest. Updated to use tcltest 2 as well. [Patch 544911] 
  8536 
  8537 2002-04-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  8538 
  8539 	* tests/io.test: Revised to run tests in a namespace, rather than use
  8540 	the useless and buggy [saveState] and [restoreState] commands of
  8541 	tcltest. Updated to use tcltest 2 as well. [Patch 544546]
  8542 
  8543 2002-04-15  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  8544 
  8545 	* generic/tclProc.c:
  8546 	* tests/proc-old.test: Improved stack trace for TCL_BREAK and
  8547 	TCL_CONTINUE returns from procs. [Bug 536955] (dgp)
  8548 
  8549 	* generic/tclExecute.c:
  8550 	* tests/compile.test: made bytecodes check for a catch before
  8551 	returning; the compiled [return] is otherwise non-catchable. [Bug
  8552 	542142] reported by Andreas Kupries.
  8553 
  8554 2002-04-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  8555 
  8556 	* tests/socket.test:  Increased timeout values so that tests have time
  8557 	to successfully complete even on slow/busy machines. [Bug 523470]
  8558 
  8559 	* doc/tcltest.n:
  8560 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
  8561 	* tests/tcltest.test:  Revised [tcltest::test] to return errors when
  8562 	called with invalid syntax and to accept exactly two arguments as
  8563 	documented. Improved error messages. [Bug 497446, Patch 513983]
  8564 	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: Incompatible with previous
  8565 	tcltest 2.* releases, found only in alpha releases of Tcl 8.4.
  8566 
  8567 2002-04-11  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  8568 
  8569 	* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): remove remaining
  8570 	unserviced events on finalization.
  8571 
  8572 	* win/tcl.m4: Enabled COFF as well as CV style debug info with
  8573 	--enable-symbols to allow Dr. Watson users to see function info. More
  8574 	info on debugging levels can be obtained at:
  8575 	http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnvc60/html/gendepdebug.asp
  8576 
  8577 	* tests/ioCmd.test: fixed iocmd-8.15 to have mac and unixPc variants.
  8578 
  8579 	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseVar): conditionally incr obj refcount
  8580 	to prevent possible mem leak.
  8581 
  8582 2002-04-08  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  8583 
  8584 	* generic/tcl.h: no <sys/types.h> on mac.
  8585 	* mac/tclMacFile.c: minor fixes to Vince's changes from 03-24.
  8586 	* mac/tclMacOSA.c:
  8587 	* mac/tclMacResource.c: added missing Tcl_UtfToExternalDString
  8588 	conversions of resource file names.
  8589 	* mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): fixed bug introduced by Andreas
  8590 	on 02-25; changed strcmp's to strncmp's so that option comparison
  8591 	behaves like on other platforms.
  8592 	* mac/tcltkMacBuildSupport.sea.hqx (CW Pro6 changes): added support to
  8593 	allow Tk to hookup C library stderr/stdout to TkConsole.
  8594 	* tests/basic.test:
  8595 	* tests/cmdAH.test:
  8596 	* tests/encoding.test:
  8597 	* tests/fileSystem.test:
  8598 	* tests/ioCmd.test: fixed tests failing on mac: check for existence of
  8599 	[exec], changed some result strings.
  8600 
  8601 2002-04-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  8602 
  8603 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (Realpath): added a little extra code to
  8604 	initialize a realpath arg when compiling in PURIFY mode in order to
  8605 	prevent spurious purify warnings. We should really create our own
  8606 	realpath implementation, but this will at least quiet purify for now.
  8607 
  8608 2002-04-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  8609 
  8610 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj):
  8611 	* tests/subst.test:  Corrected [subst] so that return codes TCL_BREAK
  8612 	and TCL_CONTINUE returned by variable substitution have the same
  8613 	effect as when those codes are returned by command substitution. [Bug
  8614 	536879]
  8615 
  8616 2002-04-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  8617 
  8618 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: added getMatchingFiles back (alias
  8619 	to GetMatchingFiles), which was a public function in tcltest 1.0.
  8620 
  8621 2002-04-01  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  8622 
  8623 	* generic/tclEnv.c:
  8624 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: invalidate filesystem cache when the user
  8625 	changes env(HOME). Fixes [Bug 535621]. Also cleaned up some of the
  8626 	documentation.
  8627 	* tests/fileSystem.test: added test for bug just fixed.
  8628 
  8629 2002-04-01  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
  8630 
  8631 	* win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_GetTime): made the checks of clock frequency
  8632 	more permissive to cope with the fact that Win98SE is observed to
  8633 	return 1.19318 in place of 1.193182 for the performance counter
  8634 	frequency.
  8635 
  8636 2002-03-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  8637 
  8638 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd, TraceVarProc)
  8639 	(TraceCommandProc, TclTraceCommandObjCmd):  corrected potential
  8640 	double-free of traces on variables by flagging in Trace*Proc that it
  8641 	will free the var in case the eval wants to delete the var trace as
  8642 	well. [Bug 536937]
  8643 	Also converted Tcl_UntraceVar -> Tcl_UntraceVar2 and Tcl_Eval to
  8644 	Tcl_EvalEx in Trace*Proc for slight efficiency improvement.
  8645 
  8646 2002-03-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  8647 
  8648 	* doc/AllowExc.3:
  8649 	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalObjv,Tcl_EvalEx,Tcl_EvalObjEx):

  8667 	to the non-scrollable area and changed the color to be yellow from a
  8668 	plain white. The colors can be whatever we want them to be, but
  8669 	thought I would start with something bold. [Bug 527941]

  8677 	* tools/man2help.tcl:
  8678 	* win/makefile.vc:  winhelp target now copies all needed files from
  8679 	tools/ to a workarea under $(OUT_DIR) and builds it from there.	No
  8680 	build cruft is left in tools/ anymore. All paths used in man2help.tcl

  8689 	* win/nmakehlp.c (new):
  8690 	* win/rules.vc: First draft fix for [Bug 527941]. More changes need to
  8691 	done to the makehelp target to get to stop leaving build files in the
  8692 	tools/ directory. This does not address the syntax errors in the man
  8693 	files. Having the contents of tcl.hpj(.in) inside makefile.vc allows
  8694 	for version numbers to be replaced with macros.
  8695 
  8696 	The new nmakehlp.c is built by rules.vc in preprocessing and removes
  8697 	the need to use tricky shell syntax that wasn't compatible on Win9x
  8698 	systems.  Clean targets made Win9x complient.  This is a first draft
  8699 	repair for [Bug 533862].

  8724 	* tests/main.test: Removed workarounds for Bug 495977.
  8725 
  8726 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Keep the value of $::auto_path
  8727 	unchanged, so that the tcltest package can test code that depends
  8728 	on auto-loading. If a testing application needs $::auto_path pruned,
  8729 	it should do that itself. [Bug 495726]
  8730 	Improve the processing of the -constraints option to [test] so that
  8731 	constraint lists can have arbitrary whitespace, and non-lists don't
  8732 	blow things up. [Bug 495977]
  8733 	Corrected faulty variable initialization. [Bug 534845]

  8773 	documentation of some aspects of the filesystem, particularly
  8774 	'Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory' which now might match a single file/directory
  8775 	only, and 'file normalize' which wasn't very clear before. Removed
  8776 	inconsistency betweens docs and the Tcl_Filesystem structure. Also
  8777 	fixed [Bug 523217] and corrected file normalization on Unix so that it
  8778 	expands symbolic links. Added some new tests of the filesystem code
  8779 	(in the new file 'fileSystem.test'), and some extra tests for correct
  8780 	handling of symbolic links. Fix to [Bug 530960] which shows up on
  8781 	Win98. Made comparison with ".com" case insensitive in tclWinPipe.c
  8782 
  8783 	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: But only between alpha releases
  8784 	(users of the new Tcl_Filesystem lookup table in Tcl 8.4a4 need to
  8785 	handle the new way in which Tcl may call Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory, and
  8786 	'file normalize' on unix now behaves correctly). Only known impact is
  8787 	with the 'tclvfs' extension.

  8977 	* generic/tclIO.c (FilterInputBytes): reset the TCL_ENCODING_START
  8978 	flags in the ChannelState when using 'gets'. [Bug 523988]
  8979 	Also reduced the value of ENCODING_LINESIZE from 30 to 20 as this

  8982 2002-02-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  8983 
  8984 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceCommandProc): ensure that TraceCommandInfo

  9025 	in error case.
  9026 
  9027 	* generic/tclTest.c (TestStatProc[123]): correct harmless UMRs.
  9028 
  9029 	* generic/tclLink.c (Tcl_LinkVar): correct mem leak in error case.
  9030 
  9031 2002-02-27  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
  9032 
  9033 	* tests/socket.test (2.7): Accepted and applied patch for [Bug 523470]
  9034 	provided by Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net> to avoid timing
  9035 	problems in that test.
  9036 
  9037 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel): Added code to regonize
  9038 	"/dev/tty" (by name) and to not handle it as tty / serial line. This
  9039 	is the controlling terminal and is special. Setting it into raw mode
  9040 	as is done for other tty's is a bad idea. This is a hackish fix for
  9041 	expect [Bug 520624]. The fix has limitation: Tcl_MakeFileChannel
  9042 	handles tty's specially too, but is unable to recognize /dev/tty as it
  9043 	only gets a file descriptor, and no name for it.
  9044 
  9045 2002-02-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  9046 
  9047 	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (StoreStatData): corrected mem leak.
  9048 
  9049 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): prevent obj leak in remedial
  9050 	regsub case.
  9051 
  9052 	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_TranslateFileName): decr refcount for
  9053 	error case to prevent mem leak.
  9054 
  9055 	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): removed extra obj allocation.
  9056 
  9057 	* unix/tclUnixSock.c (Tcl_GetHostName): added an extra gethostbyname
  9058 	check to guard against failure with truncated names returned by uname.
  9059 
  9060 	* unix/configure:
  9061 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_SERIAL_PORT): added sys/modem.h check and defined
  9062 	_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED for HP-11 to get updated header decls.
  9063 
  9064 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: added Unix implementation of TIP #35, serial
  9065 	port support. [Patch 438509] (schroedter)
  9066 
  9067 2002-02-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  9068 
  9069 	* generic/tclCmpCmds.c: (bugfix to the bugfix, hopefully the last)
  9070 	Bugfix to the new [for] compiling code: was setting a exceptArray
  9071 	parameter using another param which wasn't yet initialised, thus
  9072 	filling it with noise.
  9073 
  9074 2002-02-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
  9075 
  9076 	* mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Changed to recognize the option
  9077 	"-error". Essentially ignores the option, always returning an empty
  9078 	string.
  9079 
  9080 2002-02-25  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

  9085 	* doc/PkgRequire.3:
  9086 	* doc/Preserve.3:
  9087 	* doc/TCL_MEM_DEBUG.3: Updated documentation to describe the ckalloc,
  9088 	ckfree, ckrealloc, attemptckalloc, and attemptckrealloc macros, and
  9089 	to accurately describe when and how they are used. [Bug 497459] (dgp)
  9090 
  9091 	* generic/tclHash.c (AllocArrayEntry, AllocStringEntry): Before
  9092 	invoking ckalloc when creating a Tcl_HashEntry, check that the amount
  9093 	of memory being allocated is at least as large as
  9094 	sizeof(Tcl_HashEntry). The previous code was allocating memory regions
  9095 	that were one or two bytes short. [Bug 521950] (dejong)
  9096 
  9097 2002-02-25  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  9098 
  9099 	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalEx): avoiding a buffer overrun reported
  9100 	by Joe English, and restoring tcl7.6 behaviour for [subst]: badly
  9101 	terminated nested scripts will raise an error and not be evaluated.
  9102 	[Bug 495207]

  9104 2002-02-25  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  9105 
  9106 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: corrected strtoll prototype mismatch on Tru64.
  9107 	* compat/strtod.c (strtod): simplified #includes
  9108 	* compat/strtol.c (strtol): gather result in a long before returning
  9109 	as a long: necessary on platforms where sizeof(int) != sizeof(long).
  9110 
  9111 2002-02-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
  9112 
  9113 	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c: updated to use Mac OS X 10.1 dyld APIs that have
  9114 	more libdl-like semantics. [Bug 514392]
  9115 
  9116 2002-02-25  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  9117 
  9118 	* generic/tclCompCmds: fixing a bug in patch dated 2002-02-22, in the
  9119 	code for [for] and [while]. Under certain conditions, for long bodies,
  9120 	the exception range parameters were badly computed. Tests forthcoming:
  9121 	I still can't reproduce the conditions in the testsuite (!), although
  9122 	the bug (with assorted segfault or panic!) can be triggered from the
  9123 	console or with the new parse.bench in tclbench.
  9124 
  9125 2002-02-25  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  9126 
  9127 	* compat/strtoul.c, compat/strtol.c, compat/strtod.c: Added UCHAR,
  9128 	CONST and #includes to clean up GCC output.
  9129 
  9130 2002-02-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  9131 
  9132 	* compat/strtoull.c (strtoull):
  9133 	* compat/strtoll.c (strtoll):
  9134 	* compat/strtoul.c (strtoul): Fixed failure to handle leading sign
  9135 	symbols '+' and '-' and '0X' and raise overflow errors. [Bug 440916]
  9136 	Also corrects prototype and errno problems.
  9137 
  9138 2002-02-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  9139 
  9140 	* configure: Regen.
  9141 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Link with -n32 instead of -32 when
  9142 	building on IRIX64-6.* system. [Bug 521707]
  9143 
  9144 2002-02-22  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  9145 
  9146 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  9147 	* generic/tclObj.c: renamed global variable emptyString ->
  9148 	tclEmptyString because it is no longer static.
  9149 	* generic/tclPkg.c: Fix for panic when library is loaded on a
  9150 	platform without backlinking without proper use of stubs. [Bug 476537]
  9151 
  9152 2002-02-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  9153 
  9154 	* tests/regexpComp.test: updated regexp-11.[1-4] to match changes
  9155 	in regexp.test for new regsub syntax
  9156 
  9157 	* unix/configure:
  9158 	* unix/tcl.m4: added --enable-64bit support for AIX-4 (using -q64
  9159 	flag) when using IBM's xlc compiler.
  9160 
  9161 	* tests/safe.test: updated safe-8.5 and safe-8.7
  9162 	* library/safe.tcl (CheckFileName): removed the limit on
  9163 	sourceable file names (was only *.tcl or tclIndex files with no
  9164 	more than one dot and 14 chars).  There is enough internal
  9165 	protection in a safe interpreter already.  Fixes [Tk Bug 521560].
  9166 
  9167 2002-02-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
  9168 
  9169 	* generic/tclCompCmds: [FR 465811]. Optimising [if], [for] and
  9170 	[while] for constant conditions; in addition, [for] and [while] are
  9171 	now compiled with the "loop rotation" optimisation (thanks to Kevin
  9172 	Kenny).

  9174 2002-02-22  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  9175 
  9176 	--- TIP#76 CHANGES ---
  9177 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): Final-argument-less
  9178 	[regsub] returns the modified string.
  9179 	* doc/regsub.n: Updated docs.
  9180 	* tests/regexp.test: Updated and added tests.
  9181 
  9182 	* compat/strtoll.c (strtoll):
  9183 	* compat/strtoull.c (strtoull):
  9184 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
  9185 	* win/tclWinPort.h: Const-ing 64-bit compatability declarations.
  9186 	Note that the return pointer is non-const because it is entirely
  9187 	legal for the functions to be called from somewhere that owns the
  9188 	string being passed.  Fixes problem reported by Larry Virden.
  9189 
  9190 2002-02-21  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  9191 
  9192 	* win/mkd.bat (removed):
  9193 	* win/coffbase.txt (new):
  9194 	* win/makefile.bc:
  9195 	* win/makefile.vc:  Changed the 'setup' target to stop using the
  9196 	mkd.bat file and just make the directory right in the rule. Same
  9197 	change to makefile.bc. configure.in nor Makefile.in use it.
  9198 
  9199 	coffbase.txt will be the master list for our "prefered base addresses"
  9200 	set by the linker. This should improve load-time (NT only) by avoiding
  9201 	relocations. Submissions to the list by extension authors are
  9202 	encouraged.
  9203 
  9204 	Added a 'tidy' target to compliment 'clean' and 'hose' to remove just
  9205 	the outputs. Also removed the $(winlibs) macro as it wasn't being
  9206 	used.
  9207 
  9208 	Stuff left to do:
  9209 	1) get the winhelp target to stop building in the tools/ directory.
  9210 	2) stop using rmd.bat
  9211 	3) add more dependacy rules.
  9212 
  9213 	* win/tclAppInit.c: Reverted back to -r1.6, as the header file change
  9214 	to tclPort.h won't allow for easy embedded support outside of the
  9215 	source dist. Thanks to Don Porter for pointing this out to me.
  9216 
  9217 2002-02-21  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  9218 
  9219 	* win/makefile.vc:
  9220 	* win/rules.vc: Added a new "loimpact" option that sets the
  9221 	-ws:aggressive linker option. Off by default. It's said to keep the
  9222 	heap use low at the expense of alloc speed.
  9223 
  9224 	* win/tclAppInit.c: Changed #include "tcl.h" to be tclPort.h to remove
  9225 	the raw windows.h include. tclPort.h brings in windows.h already and
  9226 	lessens the pre-compiled-header mush and the randomly useless #pragma
  9227 	comment (lib,...) references throughout the big windows.h tree (as
  9228 	observed at high linker warning levels).
  9229 
  9230 2002-02-21  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  9231 
  9232 	* generic/tcl.h: Better guessing of LP64/ILP32 architecture, but
  9233 	now sensitive to presence of (suitable) <limits.h>
  9234 
  9235 2002-02-20  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  9236 
  9237 	* generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_RegExpRange,Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):
  9238 	Overlooked a few source incompatibilities.  Now using CONST84.
  9239 	* generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
  9240 	* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_CmdObjTraceProc): silence warning from Sun
  9241 	Workshop compiler.
  9242 
  9243 2002-02-20  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  9244 
  9245 	* win/buildall.vc.bat:
  9246 	* win/makefile.vc:
  9247 	* win/rules.vc: General clean-ups. Added compiler and linker tests for
  9248 	a) the pentium 0x0F errata, b) optimizing (not all have this), and c)
  9249 	linker v6 section alignment confusion. All these are tested first to
  9250 	make sure any D4002 or LNK1117 warnings aren't displayed. The pentium
  9251 	0x0F errata is a recommended switch. The v5 linker's section alignment
  9252 	default is 512, but the v6 linker was changed to 4096 in an attempt to
  9253 	speed loading on Win98. I changed the default to always be 512 across
  9254 	both linkers, unless linking statically, then 4096 is used for the
  9255 	claimed speed effect. Using a 512 alignment saves 12k bytes of dead
  9256 	space in the DLL.
  9257 
  9258 	Added IA64 B-stepping errata switch when the compiler supports it.
  9259 
  9260 	Added profiling to $(lflags) when requested and also removed the
  9261 	explict -entry option as the default works fine as is.
  9262 
  9263 	Removed win/tclWinInit.c from the special case section to let it use
  9264 	the common implicit rule as the $(EXTFLAGS) macro it had was never
  9265 	referenced anywhere.
  9266 
  9267 2002-02-20  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  9268 
  9269 	* generic/tcl.h: Added code to guess the correct settings for
  9270 	TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG and TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE when configure doesn't tell
  9271 	us them, as can happen with extensions.
  9272 
  9273 2002-02-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
  9274 
  9275 	* doc/format.n: Updated docs to list the specification.
  9276 	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Made behaviour on 64-bit
  9277 	platforms correctly meet the specification, that %d works with the
  9278 	native word-sized integer, instead of trying to guess (wrongly) from
  9279 	the value being passed.
  9280 
  9281 2002-02-19  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  9282 
  9283 	* changes: First draft of updated changes for 8.4a4 release.
  9284 
  9285 2002-02-15  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  9286 
  9287 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: add strtoll/strtoull declarations for platforms
  9288 	that do not define them.
  9289 
  9290 	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (STRING_AT): removed ptrdiff_t cast and use of
  9291 	VOID* in default case (GNU-ism).

  9312 	regarding _stati64
  9313

  9315 
  9316 	+----------------------+
  9317 	| TIP #72 IMPLEMENTED. |
  9318 	+----------------------+
  9319 
  9320 	There are a lot of changes from this TIP, so please see
  9321 	http://tip.tcl.tk/72.html for discussion of backward-compatability
  9322 	issues, but the main ones modifications are in:
  9323 
  9324 	* generic/tcl.h: New types.
  9325 	* generic/tcl.decls: New public functions.
  9326 	* generic/tclExecute.c: 64-bit aware bytecode engine.
  9327 	* generic/tclBinary.c: 64-bit handling in [binary] command.
  9328 	* generic/tclScan.c: 64-bit handling in [scan] command.
  9329 	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: 64-bit handling in [file] and [format]
  9330 	commands.
  9331 	* generic/tclBasic.c: New "wordSize" entry in ::tcl_platform.
  9332 	* generic/tclFCmd.c: Large-file support (with many consequences.)
  9333 	* generic/tclIO.c: Large-file support (with many consequences.)
  9334 	* compat/strtoll.c, compat/strtoull.c: New support functions.
  9335 	* unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: 64-bit support and greatly enhanced
  9336 	cacheing.
  9337 
  9338 	Most other changes, including all those in doc/* and test/* as well as
  9339 	the majority in the platform directories, follow on from these.
  9340 
  9341 	Also coming out of the woodwork:
  9342 	* generic/tclIndex.c: Better support for Cray PVP.
  9343 	* win/tclWinMtherr.c: Better Borland support.
  9344 
  9345 	Note that, in a number of places through the Unix part of the platform
  9346 	support, there are Tcl_Platform* references. These are expanded into
  9347 	the correct way to call that particular underlying function, i.e. with
  9348 	or without a '64' suffix, and should be used by people working on the
  9349 	core in preference to the API functions they overlay so that the code
  9350 	remains portable depending on the presence or absence of 64-bit
  9351 	support on the underlying platform.
  9352 
  9353 	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: Extracted from the TIP
  9354 
  9355 	SUMMARY OF INCOMPATIBILITIES AND FIXES
  9356 	======================================
  9357 
  9358 	The behaviour of expressions containing constants that appear positive
  9359 	but which have a negative internal representation will change, as
  9360 	these will now usually be interpreted as wide integers. This is always
  9361 	fixable by replacing the constant with int(constant).
  9362 
  9363 	Extensions creating new channel types will need to be altered as
  9364 	different types are now in use in those areas. The change to the
  9365 	declaration of Tcl_FSStat and Tcl_FSLstat (which are the new preferred
  9366 	API in any case) are less serious as no non-alpha releases have been
  9367 	made yet with those API functions.
  9368 
  9369 	Scripts that are lax about the use of the l modifier in format and
  9370 	scan will probably need to be rewritten. This should be very uncommon
  9371 	though as previously it had absolutely no effect.
  9372 
  9373 	Extensions that create new math functions that take more than one
  9374 	argument will need to be recompiled (the size of Tcl_Value changes),
  9375 	and functions that accept arguments of any type (TCL_EITHER) will need
  9376 	to be rewritten to handle wide integer values. (I do not expect this
  9377 	to affect many extensions at all.)
  9378 
  9379 2002-02-14  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
  9380 
  9381 	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Trivial fix for [Bug 517503], a
  9382 	memory leak reported by Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>.
  9383 	The leak happens if an error occurs for "set var [gets $chan]" and
  9384 	leak one empty object.
  9385 
  9386 2002-02-12  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  9387 
  9388 	* djgpp/ (new directory)
  9389 	* djgpp/Makefile (new):
  9390 	* unix/tclAppInit.c:
  9391 	* unix/tclMtherr.c:
  9392 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:
  9393 	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
  9394 	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:
  9395 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:  Early stage of DJGPP support for building Tcl
  9396 	on DOS. Dynamic loading isn't working, yet. Requires watt32 for the
  9397 	TCP/IP stack. No autoconf, yet. Barely tested, but makes a working exe
  9398 	that runs Tcl in protected-mode, flat memory. [exec] and pipes will
  9399 	need the most work as multi-tasking on DOS has to be carefully.

  9418 
  9419 	* unix/configure:
  9420 	* unix/tcl.m4: added -pthread for FreeBSD to EXTRA_CFLAGS and
  9421 	LDFLAGS.  Also triggered nodots only for FreeBSD-3.
  9422 	Added AC_DEFINE(_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS) for Solaris.
  9423 
  9424 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
  9425 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: added thread-safe versions of readdir,

  9453 	* win/tclWinFile.c:
  9454 	* win/tclWinInit.c: Partial TIP 27 rollback.  Following routines
  9455 	restored to return (char *): Tcl_DStringAppend,
  9456 	Tcl_DStringAppendElement, Tcl_JoinPath, Tcl_TranslateFileName,
  9457 	Tcl_ExternalToUtfDString, Tcl_UtfToExternalDString,

  9459 	restored Tcl_WinUtfToTChar to return (TCHAR *) and
  9460 	Tcl_UtfToUniCharDString to return (Tcl_UniChar *).  Modified
  9461 	some callers.  This change recognizes that Tcl_DStrings are

  9470 
  9471 	* tests/scan.test:
  9472 	* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): corrected scan 0x... %x handling
  9473 	that didn't accept the 0x as a prelude to a base 16 number. [Bug
  9474 	495213]
  9475 
  9476 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): made early check
  9477 	for bad RE to stop checking further.
  9478 
  9479 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): added special case to
  9480 	search for simple 'string map' style regsub calls.
  9481 	Delayed creation of resultPtr object until an initial match is
  9482 	made, as the input string object can then be reused for no matches.
  9483 	(Tcl_StringObjCmd): optimization improvements to the STR_MAP
  9484 	algorithm for zero-length and nocase cases.
  9485 
  9486 	* tests/regexp.test:
  9487 	* tests/regexpComp.test: extra code coverage tests.
  9488 
  9489 	* tests/string.test: added 10.18 and 10.19 extra tests.
  9490 
  9491 	* generic/regc_locale.c (casecmp): slight performance improvement.

  9499 2002-02-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
  9500 
  9501 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileOutputProc): Fixed [bug 465765] reported by
  9502 	Dale Talcott <daletalcott@users.sourceforge.net>. Avoid writing
  9503 	nothing into a file as STREAM based implementations will consider this
  9504 	a EOF (if the file is a pipe). Not done in the generic layer as this
  9505 	type of writing is actually useful to check the state of a socket.
  9506 
  9507 	* doc/open.n: Fixed [Bug 511540], added cross-reference to 'pid' as
  9508 	the command to use to retrieve the pid of a command pipeline created
  9509 	via 'open'.
  9510 
  9511 2002-02-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  9512 
  9513 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): handle quirky about case

  9516 2002-02-01  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
  9517 
  9518 	* tests/io.test: io-39.22 split into two tests, one platform
  9519 	dependent, the other not. -eofchar is not empty on the windows
  9520 	platform.
  9521 
  9522 2002-02-01  Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

  9531 
  9532 2002-01-30  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  9533 
  9534 	* generic/tcl.decls:
  9535 	* generic/tcl.h:
  9536 	* generic/tclInt.h: For each interface identified in the TIP 27
  9537 	changes below as a POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY, the source of the
  9538 	incompatibility has been parameterized so that it can be removed. When
  9539 	compiling extension code against the Tcl header files, use the
  9540 	compiler flag -DUSE_NON_CONST to remove the irresolvable source
  9541 	incompatibilities introduced by the TIP 27 changes. Resolvable changes
  9542 	are left for extension authors to resolve.
  9543 	* generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
  9544 
  9545 2002-01-30  Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
  9546 
  9547 	* doc/FileSystem.3: added documentation for 3 public functions which
  9548 	had been overlooked. Fixes [Bug 507701]
  9549 	* unix/mkLinks: make mklinks
  9550 
  9551 2002-01-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  9552 
  9553 	* tests/regexpComp.test:

  9555 	-nocase and -- options.
  9556 
  9557 2002-01-28  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  9558 
  9559 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_LOAD_TCLCONFIG):
  9560 	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_LOAD_TCLCONFIG): Set TCL_LIB_SPEC, TCL_STUB_LIB_SPEC,
  9561 	and TCL_STUB_LIB_PATH to the values of TCL_BUILD_LIB_SPEC,
  9562 	TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_SPEC, and TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_PATH when tclConfig.sh
  9563 	is loaded from the build directory. A Tcl extension should make use of
  9564 	the non-build versions of these variables since they will work in both
  9565 	cases. This modification was described in TIP #34.
  9566 
  9567 2002-01-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
  9568 
  9569 	* win/tclWinReg.c (regConnectRegistryProc,RecursiveDeleteKey)
  9570 	(DeleteKey,GetKeyNames,GetType,GetValue,OpenSubKey,SetValue):
  9571 	redid the CONSTification as previous changes caused failing tests.
  9572 
  9573 	* tests/regexpComp.test (new):
  9574 	* generic/tclInt.h:
  9575 	* generic/tclBasic.c: added TclCompileRegexpCmd entry
  9576 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): corrected to return
  9577 	TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE instead of TCL_ERROR for parsing errors, so
  9578 	it only throws the error for runtime compile, in case the user
  9579 	modifies 'string'.
  9580 	(TclCompileRegexpCmd): first try at a byte-compiled regexp
  9581 	command.  It handles static strings and ^$ bounded static strings.
  9582 	(TclCompileAppendCmd): made TclPushVarName call always use
  9583 	TCL_CREATE_VAR as numWords is always > 2 at that point.
  9584 
  9585 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode:INST_LIST): correct
  9586 	possibly dangerous decr in macro call.
  9587 
  9588 	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpFindVariable): CONSTification touch-up
  9589 
  9590 	* win/tclWinReg.c (OpenSubKey): corrected bug introduced in
  9591 	CONSTification that dropped pointer reference.
  9592 
  9593 	* ChangeLog.2000 (new file):
  9594 	* ChangeLog: broke changes from 2000 into ChangeLog.2000 to reduce
  9595 	size of the main ChangeLog.
  9596 
  9597 2002-01-28  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
  9598 
  9599 	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h: Added preprocessor logic to force a typedef
  9600 	of TCHAR when __STDC__ is defined when using the uncommon -Za compiler
  9601 	switch with the microsoft compiler.
  9602 
  9603 2002-01-27  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
  9604 
  9605 	* doc/package.n: Documented global namespace context for script
  9606 	evaluation by [package require].

  9623 
  9624 2002-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
  9625 
  9626 	Make -eofchar and -translation options read only for server sockets.
  9627 	[Bug 496733]
  9628 
  9629 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetChannelOption, Tcl_SetChannelOption):
  9630 	Instead of returning nothing for the -translation option on a server
  9631 	socket, always return "auto". Return the empty string enclosed in
  9632 	quotes for the -eofchar option on a server socket. Fixup -eofchar
  9633 	usage message so that it matches the implementation.
  9634 	* tests/io.test: Add -eofchar tests and -translation tests to ensure
  9635 	options are read only on server sockets.
  9636 	* tests/socket.test: Update tests to account for -eofchar and
  9637 	-translation option changes.

  9848 	* generic/tclIO.c (WriteChars): Fix for [Bug 506297], reported by
  9849 	Martin Forssen <ruric@users.sourceforge.net>. The encoding chosen in
  9850 	the script exposing the bug writes out three intro characters when
  9851 	TCL_ENCODING_START is set, but does not consume any input as
  9852 	TCL_ENCODING_END is cleared. As some output was generated the
  9853 	enclosing loop calls UtfToExternal again, again with START set. Three
  9854 	more characters in the out and still no use of input ... To break this
  9855 	infinite loop we remove TCL_ENCODING_START from the set of flags after
  9856 	the first call (no condition is required, the later calls remove an
  9857 	unset flag, which is a no-op). This causes the subsequent calls to
  9858 	UtfToExternal to consume and convert the actual input.

  9893 	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Fixed [Bug 504642] as reported
  9894 	by Brian Griffin <bgriffin@users.sourceforge.net>, using his patch.
  9895 	Before the patch the generic I/O layer held an unannounced reference
  9896 	to the interp result to store the read line into. This unfortunately
  9897 	has disastrous results if the channel driver executes a Tcl script to
  9898 	perform its operation, this freeing the interp result. In that case we
  9899 	are dereferencing essentially a dangling reference. It is not truly
  9900 	dangling because the object is in the free list, but this only causes
  9901 	us to smash the free list and have the error occur later somewhere
  9902 	else. The patch simply creates a new object for the line and later
  9903 	sets it into the interp result when we are done with reading.

 10173 
 10174 	* doc/Tcl_Main.3:
 10175 	* generic/tclMain.c:  Substantial rewrite and expanded documentation
 10176 	of Tcl_Main to correct a number of bugs and flaws:
 10177 
 10178 		* Interactive Tcl_Main can now enter a main loop, exit that
 10179 		  loop and continue interactive operations. The loop may even
 10180 		  exit in the midst of interactive command typing without loss
 10181 		  of the partial command. [Bugs 486453, 474131]
 10182 		* Tcl_Main now gracefully handles deletion of its master
 10183 		  interpreter.
 10184 		* Interactive Tcl_Main can now operate with non-blocking stdin
 10185 		* Interactive Tcl_Main can now detect EOF on stdin even in
 10186 		  mid-command.	[Bug 491341]
 10187 		* Added VFS-aware internal routines for managing the startup
 10188 		  script selection.
 10189 		* Tcl variable 'tcl_interactive' is now linked to C variable
 10190 		  'tty' so that one can disable/enable interactive prompts at
 10191 		  the script level when there is no startup script. This is
 10192 		  meant for use by the test suite.
 10193 		* Consistent use of the Tcl libraries standard channels as
 10194 		  returned by Tcl_GetStdChannel(); as opposed to the channels
 10195 		  named 'stdin', 'stdout', and 'stderr' in the master interp,
 10196 		  which can be different or unavailable.
 10197 		* Tcl_Main now calls Tcl_Exit() if evaluation of [exit] in the
 10198 		  master interpreter returns, assuring Tcl_Main does not
 10199 		  return.
 10200 		* Documented Tcl_Main's absence from public stub table
 10201 		* Documented that Tcl_Main does not return.
 10202 		* Documented Tcl variables set by Tcl_Main.
 10203 		* All prompts are done from a single procedure, Prompt.
 10204 		* Use of Tcl_Obj-enabled interfaces everywhere.
 10205 
 10206 	* generic/tclInt.decls (TclGetStartupScriptPath,
 10207 	(TclSetStartupScriptPath): New internal VFS-aware routines for
 10208 	managing the startup script of Tcl_Main.
 10209 	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
 10210 	* generic/tclStubInit.c: make genstubs
 10211 
 10212 	* generic/tclTest.c (TestsetmainloopCmd,TestexitmainloopCmd,
 10213 	(Tcltest_Init,TestinterpdeleteCmd):
 10214 	* tests/main.test (new):  Added new file to test suite that thoroughly
 10215 	tests generic/tclMain.c; added some new test commands for testing
 10216 	Tcl_SetMainLoop().

 10234 	accurately describe when and how they are used. [Bug 497459]
 10235 
 10236 	* generic/tclThreadJoin.c (TclRememberJoinableThread,TclJoinThread):
 10237 	Replaced Tcl_Alloc and Tcl_Free calls with ckalloc and ckfree so that
 10238 	memory debugging is supported.

 10240 2002-01-04  Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>

 10254 	leaving it so that it crashes when run without the fix to the
 10255 	[foreach] implementation.
 10256 	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ForeachObjCmd): Stopped [Bug 494348] from
 10257 	happening by not trying to be so clever with cacheing; if nothing
 10258 	untoward is happening anyway, the less efficient technique will only
 10259 	add a few instruction cycles (one function call and a few
 10260 	derefs/assigns per list per iteration, with no change in the number of
 10261 	tests) and if something odd *is* going on, the code is now far more
 10262 	robust.
 10263 
 10264 	* tests/basic.test (basic-39.4): Reproducable script from [Bug 494348]
 10265 
 10266 2002-01-02  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
 10267 
 10268 	* tests/util.test (Wrapper_Tcl_StringMatch,util-5.*): Rewrote so the
 10269 	test is performed with the right internal function since [string
 10270 	match] no longer uses Tcl_StringCaseMatch internally.
 10271 
 10272 	* tests/string.test (string-11.51):
 10273 	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharCaseMatch):
 10274 	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_StringCaseMatch): Fault with matching
 10275 	case-insensitive non-ASCII patterns containing upper case characters.
