2000-12-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* generic/tclExecute.c:

 	* tests/expr-old.test:  Re-wrote Tcl's [expr rand()] and

 	[expr srand($seed)] implementations, fixing a range error

 	on some 64-bit platforms.  Added tests that detect the bug.

 	The rewrite changes the seed -> sequence map on 64-bit

 	platforms, only for seed >= 2^31, a slight incompatibility.

 	[Bug 121072, Patch 102781]

 2000-12-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

 	* library/init.tcl:

 	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:

 	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:

 	* library/opt/optparse.tcl:

 	* library/opt/pkgIndex.tcl: Where [uplevel] is used in a proc

 	to evaluate a Tcl built-in command in the caller's context,

 	the built-in commands are now fully namespace-qualified.  This

 	prevents problems when the caller context is in a namespace where

 	the built-in command name has been used by a command in the

 	namespace.  (For example, [::ns::set] might be called instead

 	of the intended [::set]).  [Bug #119422, Patch #102545]

 2000-12-09  jeff hobbs  <jhobbs@interwoven.com>

 	* win/tclWinTime.c (CalibrationThread): added lint return value to

 	prevent compiler warning.  [Bug #125005]

 	* docs/scan.n:

 	* tests/scan.test:

 	* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): changed %o and %x to use

 	strtoul instead of strtol to correctly preserve scan<>format

 	conversion of large integers.  [Patch #102663, Bug #124600]

 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Commited patch fixing

 	handling of {!<boolean>} in expressions. [Patch #102702]

 2000-12-08  jeff hobbs  <jhobbs@interwoven.com>

 	* library/init.tcl: Added support for PATHEXT variable in

 	auto_execok, recognizing the proper set of executable extensions

 	on Windows.  [Patch #102719]

 2000-12-08  Andreas Kupries  <a.kupries@westend.com>

 	* generic/tclEncoding.c (LoadTableEncoding): Changed dangerous

 	  code to something less critical. This fixes bug 119417, part A

 	  without affecting the speed when loading encodings.

 2000-12-08  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* doc/open.n: Added xref to fconfigure and advice on the opening

 	  of binary files.  Should help prevent a recurrence of bugs like

 	  #124558

 2000-12-07  jeff hobbs  <jhobbs@interwoven.com>

 	* generic/tcl.h: added note about need to updated

 	library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl with minor version increment.

 	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl: updated to use 84 version to reflect

 	the makefile.  Should probably be updated to use its real version

 	at some point. [Patch #102560, Bug #119421]

 2000-12-06  eric melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* generic/tcl.h (attemptckalloc): Fixed typo for #define of

 	attemptckalloc (was defined to Tcl_AttempDbCkalloc, should have

 	been Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc). [Bug: 124384]

 	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: Added

 	TCL_MEM_DEBUG versions of Tcl_AttemptDbCkrealloc and

 	Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc. [Bug: 124384].

 2000-11-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Logical negation "!"

 	  can now handle string booleans, provided those values are placed

 	  in variables.

 	* tests/expr.test (expr-13.17): Check that [expr {!$var}] can

 	  negate the string-versions of booleans "yes", "false", etc.

 	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl (getMatchingFiles,

 	  getMatchingDirectories):

 	* tools/man2html.tcl (doDir): 

 	* tools/man2help.tcl (doDir): 

 	* library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown,tclMacPkgSearch): 

 	* library/safe.tcl (AddSubDirs): [glob] uses -directory instead of

 	  unsafe [file join] to fix Bug #123313

 	* generic/tclIndexObj.c:

 	* generic/tclTestObj.c (TestindexobjCmd): Changed internal

 	  representation of index objects to fix Bug #119082; fix

 	  shouldn't be visible to outside world...

 	* generic/tclTest.c (TestGetIndexFromObjStructObjCmd): 

 	* tests/indexObj.test: (indexObj-6.*) Added to test for presence

 	  of Bug #119082.

 2000-11-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Fixed memory leak from Bug

 	  #119398

 	* library/init.tcl (unknown): Added specific level parameters to

 	  all uplevel invokations to boost performance; didn't dare touch

 	  the "namespace inscope" stuff though, since it looks sensitive

 	  to me!  Should fix Bug #123217, though testing is tricky...

 2000-11-21  Andreas Kupries  <a.kupries@westend.com>

 	* All of the changes below are described in TIP #7 ~ Specification

  	  and result from the application of the patch contained

  	  therein. Creator of the patch is Kevin Kenny

  	  <kennykb@crd.ge.com>. The patch used here is actually a bit

  	  different. Two MS specific constant values (format FOOui64) were

  	  replaced with a more portable formatting of the values and an

  	  additional cast to LONGLONG. My cross-compiling gcc was unable to

 	  process the original form. The SF Id of the patch is 102459.

 	* tclWinTime.c: Add to the static data a set of variables that

  	  manage the phase-locked techniques, including a

  	  ''CRITICAL_SECTION'' to guard them so that multi-threaded code

  	  is stable.

 	* tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetSeconds'' to call ''TclpGetTime''

  	  and return the 'seconds' portion of the result.  This change is

  	  necessary to make sure that the two times are consistent near

  	  the rollover from one second to another.

 	* tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetClicks'' to use TclpGetTime to

  	  determine the click count as a number of microseconds.

 	* tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetTime'' to return the time as

  	  M*Q+B, where Q is the result of ''QueryPerformanceCounter'', and

  	  M and B are variables maintained by the phase-locked loop to

  	  keep the result as close as possible to the system clock.  The

  	  ''TclpGetTime'' call will also launch the phase-lock management

  	  in a separate thread the first time that it is invoked.  If the

  	  performance counter is unavailable, or if its frequency is not

  	  one of the two common 8254-compatible rates, then

  	  ''TclpGetTime'' will return the result of ''ftime'' as it does

  	  in Tcl 8.3.2.

 	* tclWinTime.c: Add the clock calibration procedure.  The

  	  calibration is somewhat complex; to save space, the reader is

  	  referred to the reference implementation for the details of how

  	  the time base and frequency are maintained.

 	* tclWinNotify.c: Modify ''Tcl_Sleep'' to test that the process

  	  has, in fact, slept for the requisite time by calling

  	  ''TclpGetTime'' and comparing with the desired time.  Otherwise,

  	  roundoff errors may cause the process to awaken early.

 	* tclWinTest.c: Add a ''testwinclock'' command.  This command

  	  returns a four element list comprising the seconds and

  	  microseconds portions of the system clock and the seconds and

  	  microseconds portions of the Tcl clock.

 	* winTime.test: Add to the test suite a test that makes sure that

  	  the Tcl clock stays within 1.1 ms of the system clock over the

  	  duration of the test.

 2000-11-21  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* doc/global.n: 

 	* doc/upvar.n: 

 	* doc/variable.n: Improved documentation to mention that variables

 	  so created are listed in [info locals] and added a few more

 	  cross-links between these commands.  Fixes bug #119387

 2000-11-17  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* tests/safe.test: (safe-4.3):

 	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): Changed again.  Now passes all

 	  the tests, though one needed modifying since it required the

 	  wrong answer.  (Why on earth do we have inline modification of

 	  argument strings?  This sort of thing is horrendous to debug and

 	  doesn't work well in a multithreaded environment!)  Fixes bug

 	  119192.

 	* tests/var.test: (var-1.19) If my attempts to fix the problem

 	  aren't right yet, my attempts to describe it look pretty good to

 	  me...

 2000-11-16  Andreas Kupries  <a.kupries@westend.com>

 	* win/tclWinPort.h (line 69): Changed reference to winsock2.h into

  	  winsock.h. This was a leftover from a foray into using winsock

  	  version 2 (History lesson from Scott Redman and Jeff

  	  Hobbs). This code was no problem when compiling Tcl itself, but

  	  could trip extensions. Fixes bug 122568.

 2000-11-15  jeff hobbs  <jeff.hobbs@acm.org>

 	* unix/Makefile.in: removed bp.c references (hasn't existed in a

 	  long time).  Corrected 'make dist' to make dist with unversioned

 	  library directories (same as out of cvs), so make install works

 	  correctly with either source tree.

 2000-11-15  jeff hobbs  <jeff.hobbs@acm.org>

 	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): reverted fix below as it broke

 	  all other array unset error reporting.  Bug-119192 is still

 	  open.

 2000-11-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

 	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): Changed references to part2 to

 	  use elName instead in various error message generating spots, so

 	  as to fix Bug-119192.

 2000-11-03  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* win/.cvsignore: Removed 'configure' from the glob list now

 	  that it's included.

 2000-11-03  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

 	8.4a2 RELEASE

 	* unix/Makefile.in (install-libraries, dist): 

 	* win/makefile.vc (install-libraries):

 	* win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): updated to install

 	unversioned library directories into versioned directories.

 	* tools/tcl.wse.in: updated for unversioning of library dirs

 	* unix/mkLinks: updated mkLinks with latest doc updates

 	* doc/Tcl_Main.3: added docs for Tcl_SetMainLoop

 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

 	* generic/tclDecls.h:

 	* generic/tcl.decls: added Tcl_SetMainLoop proc that allows people

 	to set a main loop that will run for tclsh.

 	* generic/tcl.h: added Tcl_MainLoopProc typedef

 	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_SetMainLoop, StdinProc, Prompt): new

 	StdinProc and Prompt static procs and Tcl_SetMainLoop stubs proc.

 	The first two handle a fileevent based prompt (taken from

 	tkMain.c).  Tcl_SetMainLoop enables the interactive setting of a

 	main loop procedure.  This enables Tk to be a loadable package.

 2000-11-02  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* generic/tclEvent.c: tclLibraryPath Tcl_Obj didn't have a way

 	to share its data among threads.  This caused Tcl_Init() to

 	always fail in threads.  Added a way to pass the data around

 	with a global char*.  [BUG: 5301]

 2000-11-02  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* unix/configure:

 	* unix/dltest/configure:

 	* win/configure:

 	* tools/configure: checked in configure scripts so people doing

 	CVS checkouts aren't required to have autoconf.  Changes to

 	configure.in in the future will require the corresponding

 	configure script to also be re-autoconf'ed and checked in.

 	* win/makefile.vc:

 	* win/tcl.m4: makefile fixes for Win64 support

 	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): minor cast

 	changes.

 2000-11-01  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* unix/tcl.m4: removed use of -lbsd and -ldl for AIX-5.

 	* tests/subst.test: added tests for non-zero return code handling

 	by subst.

 	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_EvalEx): corrected handling of non-zero,

 	non-error return code cases for subst. [BUG: 119829]

 	* generic/tclVar.c (TclVarTraceExists): Corrected excessive mem

 	use when info exists was called on a non-existent array element.

 	[BUG: 119213, 119336]

 2000-10-30  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* win/configure.in:

 	* win/Makefile.in:

 	* win/makefile.vc:

 	* win/tcl.rc:

 	* win/tclsh.rc: Added logic to derive filenames better in the resource

 	scripts based on compile options.

 2000-10-30  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: added default encoding map from

 	"ja_JP.eucJP" to "euc-jp". (takahashi)

 	* tests/clock.test: corrected clock-2.* test numbering

 	* unix/configure.in (SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS): removed code that was

 	commented out (it had been moved to tcl.m4's SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS

 	already).

 	* unix/tcl.m4: consolidated gettimeofday check for AIX.

 2000-10-27  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* unix/configure.in:

 	* unix/tcl.m4: added support for AIX-5.

 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_NotifyChannel): removed #ifdef around code

 	for old channel structures, placed preserve/release around statePtr

 	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): the statePtr for a channel was

 	not being freed when the last channel in a stack was freed,

 	causing a mem leak.

 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: updated channel types to strict

 	TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_2 style to avoid compiler warnings.  They work

 	either way, but this avoids compiler warnings (that worries people).

 2000-10-27  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Removed a cd into the test

 	directory in runAllTests that screwed up the temporary directory

 	setting, effectively preventing users from running tests on

 	multiple platforms at the same time.

 2000-10-26  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchFilesTypes): NULL was being set to

 	"attr" which was a DWORD.  Changed NULL to zero because a 'void *'

 	can't be set to a DWORD to avoid the compiler warning.

 2000-10-24  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* tests/all.tcl: Removed support for tcltest 1.0.

 	* tests/tcltest.test:

 	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl:

 	* library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl:

 	* docs/tcltest.n: Moved tcltest2 code so that it's the standard

 	version of tcltest.  Removed all tcltest2 files

 	(tests/tcltest2.test, library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl,

 	docs/tcltest2.n). 

 2000-10-20  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchFilesTypes): made the stat call only

 	occur when necessary (for 'glob' command).  Significantly speeds

 	up glob command from 8.3. [BUG: 6216]

 2000-10-19  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl:

 	* tests/tcltest2

 	* doc/tcltest2.n: Code and documentation cleanup.  Modified

 	-verbose to take list of keywords as well as string of letters.

 	Removed Tcl version information from tcltest. Removed

 	tcltest::grep from tcltest package. Added optional 3rd directory

 	argument to  makeFile/makeDirectory and removeFile/removeDirectory.

 	* tests/basic.test: Changed references to tcltest::tclVersion to

 	hardcoded numbers.

 	* generic/tcl.h: Changed reference to tcltest2.tcl and tcltest.tcl

 	in comments to tests/basic.test.

 2000-10-06  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* win/tclWinChan.c: moved Win2K bug case test with GetStdHandle()

 	from TclpGetDefaultStdChannel into Tcl_MakeFileChannel to enable

 	a more general method in detecting invalid OS handles rather than

 	just a specific known case. [BUG: 5971]

 2000-10-06  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* tests/cmdAH.test: extra tests for 'file channels' that include

 	multiple interpreter tests and channel sharing

 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetChannelNamesEx): corrected function (and

 	consequently 'file channels') to return channels that are actually

 	registered for this specific interp, rather than this thread.

 	* doc/CrtChannel.3: fixed spelling mistakes

 2000-09-29  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl:

 	* tests/tcltest2.test:

 	* doc/tcltest2.n: Modified the new form of the test command to

 	accept both attribute-value pairs and command line options.

 	Updated the tests and the documentation for this new format.

 	Also changed the option names for the test command.

 2000-09-29  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialGetOptionProc): corrected reporting of

 	space parity on Windows (Eason) [Bug 6057].

 	* win/Makefile.in: commented use of TESTFLAGS

 	* unix/Makefile.in: added TESTFLAGS to test target to

 	conform with Windows makefile and TEA style.

 	* tests/stack.test: prevented possible crash on systems with low

 	default stacksize (Tru64, AIX) in infinite recursion test.  A

 	solution to check remaining stack space in the core is best, but

 	hard to do in a cross-platform manner.

 	* generic/tclIOGT.c (FLUSH_DELAY): renamed DELAY define to

 	FLUSH_DELAY to avoid defn conflict using Tru64's cc.

 2000-09-28  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* tools/tcl.wse.in: added tclPlatDecls.h and tkPlatDecls.h to the

 	Windows .exe install.

 	* tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-6.20): corrected test to remove

 	c:/tcl8975@ after creating it.

 	* tests/fileName.test: cleaned up the testing of glob patterns for

 	c:/globTest (Windows) to directly create/remove directory.

 2000-09-27  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* generic/tcl.decls:

 	* generic/tclIO.c: updated Tcl_IsChannelShared,

 	Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel,

 	Tcl_IsChannelExisting, and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers to conform to

 	the new stacked channel implementation.  Their stub slots were

 	also moved to give preference to the new 8.3.2 stub functions.

 	This will cause an incompatability with 8.4a1 only.

 	(StopCopy): fixed a bug introduced by a partial fix in 8.3.2 that

 	didn't set nonBlocking correctly when resetting the flags for the

 	write side.  [Bug: 6261]

 	* doc/ChnlStack.3:

 	* doc/CrtChannel.3:

 	* generic/tcl.decls:

 	* generic/tcl.h:

 	* generic/tclDecls.h:

 	* generic/tclIO.c:

 	* generic/tclIO.h:

 	* generic/tclIOGT.c:

 	* generic/tclInt.decls:

 	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:

 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

 	* win/tclWinChan.c:

 	* win/tclWinConsole.c:

 	* win/tclWinPipe.c:

 	* win/tclWinSerial.c:

 	* win/tclWinSock.c: Up-port of changes made in 8.3.2 to 8.4a2 code

 	base.  Most of these changes relate to the rewrite of the stacked

 	channel implementation, with a few config related fixes.

 	Following is an asynchronous include of the applicable ChangeLog

 	entries from 8.3.2.

 	********************************************************

 	** START OF ASYNCHRONOUS UP-PORT LOG (8.3.2 -> 8.4a2) **

 	********************************************************

 2000-08-07  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* doc/ChnlStack.3:

 	* doc/CrtChannel.3: updated the docs to be aware of the

 	TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_2 style of Tcl channels.

 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CreateChannel): added assertion to verify

 	that the new channel versioning will be binary compatible with

 	older channel drivers.

 2000-08-05  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* generic/tclIOGT.c (TclChannelTransform): fixed segfault that

 	would occur when transforming a channel with a proc that did not

 	yet exist. (Kupries)

 	* generic/tclTest.c (TestChannelCmd): added some lint init'ing of

 	statePtr and chan vars.

 2000-07-26  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* merged core-8-3-1-io-rewrite back into core-8-3-1-branch.

 	The core-8-3-1-io-rewrite branch should now be considered defunct.

 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

 	* generic/tclDecls.h:

 	* generic/tcl.decls:

 	* generic/tcl.h:

 	* generic/tclIO.c: moved the Tcl_Channel* macros from tcl.h to

 	tclIO.c and made them proper stubbed functions.  These are:

 	Tcl_ChannelName, Tcl_ChannelVersion, Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc,

 	Tcl_ChannelCloseProc, Tcl_ChannelClose2Proc, Tcl_ChannelInputProc,

 	Tcl_ChannelOutputProc, Tcl_ChannelSeekProc, Tcl_ChannelSetOptionProc,

 	Tcl_ChannelGetOptionProc, Tcl_ChannelWatchProc,

 	Tcl_ChannelGetHandleProc, Tcl_ChannelFlushProc,

 	and Tcl_ChannelHandlerProc.  These should be used to access the

 	Tcl_ChannelType structure instead of direct pointer dereferencing.

 	* tests/iogt.test: added RCS string, marked tests 2.* to be

 	unixOnly due to underlying system differences.

 2000-07-25 Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>

 	* tests/iogt.test: (line 866f) New tests iogt-6.[01], highlighting

  	  buffering trouble when stacking and unstacking transformations.

 	  iogt-6.0 is solved, see the changes below. iogt-6.1 remains, for

  	  now, due to the perceived complexity of solutions.

 	* generic/tclIO.h: (line 139f) struct Channel, added a buffer

 	  queue, to hold data pushed back when stacking a transformation.

 	* generic/tclIO.c:

 	  (line 91f, line 7434f) New internal function 'CopyBuffer'.

 	  Derived from 'CopyAndTranslateBuffer', with translation

 	  removed.

 	  (line 1025f, line 1212f): Initialization of new queue.

 	  (line 1164f, Tcl_StackChannel): Pushback of input queue.

 	  (line 1293f, Tcl_UnstackChannel): Discard input and pushback.

 	  (line 3748f, Tcl_ReadRaw): Modified to use data in the push back

 	  area before going to the driver. Uses 'CopyBuffer', s.a.

 	  (line 4702f, GetInput): Modified to use data in the push back

 	  area before going to the driver.

  	  (line 4867f, Tcl_Seek): Modified to take pushback of the topmost

 	  channel in a stack into account.

 	  (line 5620f, Tcl_InputBuffered): See above. Added

 	  'Tcl_ChannelBuffered'. Analogue to 'Tcl_InputBuffered' but for

 	  the buffer area in the channel.

 	* generic/tcl.decls: New public API 'Tcl_ChannelBuffered'. S.a.

 2000-07-17  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* unix/Makefile.in:

 	* win/Makefile.in:

 	* win/makefile.vc: added tclIOGT.c to objects list to compile.

 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

 	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:

 	* generic/tclInt.decls: commented out internal decls for

 	TclTestChannelCmd and TclTestChannelEventCmd as they were moved to

 	tclTest.c.  Added new decls for TclChannelEventScriptInvoker and

 	TclChannelTransform.

 	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): stopped masking out of the

 	TCL_READABLE|TCL_WRITABLE bits from the state flags in

 	CloseChannel, instead adding extra intelligence to

 	CheckChannelErrors with a new CHANNEL_RAW_MODE bit for special

 	behavior when called from Raw channel APIs.

 2000-07-13  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* generic/tclIO.c (StackSetBlockMode): moved set of chanPtr

 	outside of blockModeProc check to avoid infinite loop when

 	blockModeProc was NULL (Kupries).  updated TransformSeekProc to

 	not call Tcl_Seek directly (Kupries).

 	* win/tclWinChan.c: updated fileChannelType to v2 channel struct

 	* win/tclWinConsole.c: updated consoleChannelType to v2 channel struct

 	* win/tclWinPipe.c: updated pipeChannelType to v2 channel struct

 	* win/tclWinSerial.c: updated serialChannelType to v2 channel struct

 	* win/tclWinSock.c: updated tcpChannelType to v2 channel struct

 2000-07-11  Brent Welch	<welch@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* win/tclConfig.sh.in (TCL_LIBS): Cleaned up unix-specific

 	autoconf variables.

 2000-07-11  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/iogt.test: made tests [345].0 not run by default as they

 	were failing in the new design, but I'm not convinced that the

 	returned result isn't correct.

 	* generic/tclDecls.h:

 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

 	* generic/tcl.decls: added Tcl_GetTopChannel C API that returns

 	the current top channel of a channel stack.  Tcl_GetChannel was

 	changed earlier to return the bottommost channel of a stack

 	because that is the one that is guaranteed to stay around the

 	longest, and this was needed to compensate for certain

 	operations that want to look at the state of the main channel.

 	Most channel APIs already compensate for grabbing the top, so it

 	shouldn't be needed often.

 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_StackChannel, Tcl_UnstackChannel): Added

 	flushing of buffers (Kupries), removed use of DownChannel macro,

 	added Tcl_GetTopChannel public API to get to the top channel of

 	the channel stack (necessary for TLS).  Rewrote Tcl_NotifyChannel

 	for new channel design (Kupries).  Did some code cleanup in the

 	transform code.  tclIO.c must still be broken into bits (separate

 	out test code and giot code, create tclIO.h).

 2000-07-10  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>

 	* tests/iogt.test: Reverted some earlier changes as a fix by Jeff

 	  revived the original and correct behaviour. IOW, the tests showed

 	  a genuine error and I didn't see it :(.

 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Read|Write_Raw): Changed to directly use

  	  the drivers and not DoRead|DoWrite. The latter use the buffering

  	  system, encoding and eol-translation and this wreaks havoc with

  	  the data going through the transformations. Both procedures use

  	  CheckForchannelErrors and let it believe that there is no

  	  background copy in progress or else stacked channels could not

 	  be used for that.

 	* generic/tclIO.c (TclCopyChannel, CopyData): Moved access to the

  	  topmost channel from the first to the second procedure to make

  	  the decision about that at the last possible time (Callbacks can

  	  change the stacking).

 	test suite: failures of iogt-[345].0

 2000-07-06  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/iogt.test: new tests for stacked channel stuff based off

 	new 'testchannel transform|unstack' code (Kupries IOGT extension).

 	* generic/tcl.decls:

 	* generic/tcl.h:

 	* generic/tclDecls.h:

 	* generic/tclStubsInit.c:

 	* generic/tclIO.c: complete rewrite of Tcl Channel code for

 	stacked channels.  Channels are now designed to work in a more

 	stacked fashion with a shared ChannelState data structure.

 2000-06-02  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): removed the &ing out of

 	(TCL_READABLE|TCL_WRITABLE) from the flags, as CloseChannel does

 	this on the next pass through for the top channel, and it appeared

 	to be causing hangs by not allowing the final flush.

 2000-06-01  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): Rewrote CloseChannel code to

 	unstack a channel during the close process.  Fixed a refcount bug

 	in Tcl_UnstackChannel.  [Bug: 5623]

 	(CloseChannel): further extended CloseChannel in the stacked case

 	to effect certain operations on the next channel that would have

 	been done in Tcl_Close.  Also added CHANNEL_CLOSED and removed

 	(TCL_READABLE|TCL_WRITABLE) bits from chanPtr->flags.  Changed

 	final reset of the WatchProc to check the chanDownPtr's (next)

 	interestMask.

 	******************************************************

 2000-09-20  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/socket.test: removed doTestsWithRemoteServer constraint

 	from socket-12.*.  It requires 'exec', not a remote server.

 	Cleaned up some coding errors.

 2000-09-20  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: Updated to load tcltest 2.0.

 	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl: New version of tcltest.  

 	Cleanup of command line parsing: allows users to specify command

 	line arguments through an environment variable named

 	TCLTEST_OPTIONS [RFE: 3748], does not respond to incorrect

 	arguments, and forces usage of entire flag name when using command

 	line arguments.  Defines accessor procs for all tcltest

 	variables.  Allows users to use 'return' in test scripts. Allow

 	users to specify whether test files should be sourced or run in a

 	separate process.  'all.tcl' code moved to tcltest package.

 	'test' proc modified to use attribute-value pairs.  Allow users to

 	specify what return codes, output, and errors can be compared and

 	whether these values should be compared using regexp, glob, or

 	exact matching.  makeDirectory & removeDirectory now operate with

 	respect to temporaryDirectory [Bug: 6001].  Test results from

 	tests run in slave interpreters are now included in test totals

 	[Bug: 1493].  Test files that return error values are now reported.

 	* tests/all.tcl: Added code to check for the tcltest version

 	loaded; modified to figure out which tests to run based on the

 	tcltest version loaded.

 	* tests/tcltest.test: Modified to explicitly load version 1.0 of

 	tcltest.

 	* tests/tcltest2.test: New test suite for tcltest; includes all of

 	the old tests plus new ones reflecting changes made for version

 	2.0.

 	* tests/cmdAH.test: Added singleTestInterp constraint to

 	cmdAH-31.2; this test does not run if tests aren't sourced into a

 	single interpreter.

 	* tests/socket.test: Fixed two tests that were referencing

 	variables outside of scope.

 	* tools/tcl.wse.in: Added code to install tcltest2.tcl.

 	* doc/tcltest2.n: New documentation for tcltest version 2.0.

 	Removes documentation for tcltest namespace variables.  Adds

 	documentation for new tcltest procs.

 	* unix/mkLinks: Added code to link to tcltest2.n.

 	* generic/tcl.h: Added comment to modify tcltest2.tcl as well as

 	tcltest.tcl for version changes.

 2000-09-19  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): When using -all, all

 	attempts after the first to match the regexp against the string

 	should include the TCL_REG_NOTBOL flag, to avoid erroneously

 	matching ^ in the middle of the string.  Added code to set this

 	flag after the first pass through the matching loop. [Bug: 6284].

 2000-09-19  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* doc/Eval.3:  Added a note about the script argument to Tcl_Eval()

 	should be in UTF-8 or risk implied conversion errors when possible

 	combinations of upper ascii can be valid UTF-8 special codes.

 2000-09-17  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* tests/cmdIL.test: Added a test for fix for [Bug: 6212].

 	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Applied patch from [Bug:

 	6212], which corrected an error in the handling of the -index option.

 2000-09-14  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* doc/Alloc.3: Added entries for Tcl_AttemptAlloc, Tcl_AttempRealloc.

 	* doc/StringObj.3: Added entry for Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength.

 	* generic/tclDecls.h:

 	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regen'ed stubs files from new tcl.decls.

 	* generic/tcl.decls: Added stubs for the Tcl_Attempt* memory

 	allocators and for Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength.

 	* generic/tcl.h: Added #define's for attemptckalloc,

 	attemptckrealloc, which map to the Tcl_Attempt* memory allocators.

 	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: Added non-panic'ing versions of Tcl_Alloc,

 	Tcl_Realloc, etc.; these are called Tcl_AttemptAlloc,

 	Tcl_AttemptRealloc, etc.  These are used by

 	Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength and the string obj append functions.

 	* generic/tclStringObj.c: Modified string growth algorithm to use

 	doubling algorithm as long as possible, and only fall back when

 	that fails.  Added Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength, and modified

 	AppendUnicodeToUnicodeRep, AppendUtfToUtfRep, and

 	Tcl_AppendStringsToObjVA to support this.

 2000-09-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* win/.cvsignore: changed the glob patterns a bit to exclude VC++

 	project conversion backups.

 	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Stage-1 bug fix for TR#2460 "exec leaks memory".

 	Added more logic around the close-down of the pipe reader thread so

 	as to avoid, at all cost, a TerminateThread.  Most cases with exec

 	are fixed, but I don't consider 2460 done yet.  Closing down the

 	read side of a pipe before the child process, doesn't really fit

 	the windows model.  [BUG: 2460]

 2000-09-07  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* doc/trace.n: minor doc cleanup

 2000-09-06  André Pönitz <poenitz@htwm.de>

 	* doc/*.n: added or changed "SEE ALSO:" section

 2000-09-06  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* win/tclWinLoad.c (TclpLoadFile): added special message for

 	ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND exception in loading a dll.

 	* win/tclWinError.c: changed ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND to map from

 	ESRCH (POSIX: no such process) to EINVAL because there is no good

 	mapping for "procedure not found".

 	* README:

 	* generic/tcl.h:

 	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl:

 	* tools/tcl.wse.in: 

 	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl:

 	* unix/configure.in:

 	* unix/tcl.spec:

 	* win/README.binary:

 	* win/configure.in: updated patchlevel to 8.4a2

 	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): Removed WNOHANG from

 	Tcl_WaitPid call in error case of process creation on Unix, as it

 	would lead to defunct processes. [Bug: 6148]

 	* tests/string.test: extended string repeat tests

 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): changed STR_REPEAT to

 	preallocate the full space of the final string, avoided repeated

 	appends.

 	* doc/source.n:

 	* doc/Eval.3: added extra note about how to safe use ^Z in code,

 	as it is now a cross-platform (was just Windows) EOF char.

 2000-09-05  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* generic/tclHash.c: fixed pedantic warning of incorrectly placed

 	#endif

 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): INST_STR_INDEX fixed

 	pedantic cast warning.

 	Corrected support for building with -DTCL_COMPILE_STATS.

 	Added efficiency check of object equality.

 2000-08-29  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* generic/tclStringObj.c: Applied patch from Gerhard Hintermayer

 	to provide a more conservative string growth algorithm for strings

 	larger than one megabyte; this allows more efficient use of memory

 	for very large strings.

 2000-08-25  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* tests/trace.test: Extended array tracing tests.

 	* doc/trace.n: Clarified information about when array traces will

 	be fired.

 	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): Corrected call to CallTraces

 	(for TCL_TRACE_ARRAY) to only be called when the variable is

 	either an array or is undefined, to ensure that array traces do

 	not fire for scalar variables.

 2000-08-24  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* doc/man.macros: Tweaked tab settings for .SO (Standard Options) 

 	sections, based on suggestion from Peter Spjuth.

 2000-08-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

 	* unix/README: Update to account for removal of --enable-gcc.

 	* unix/configure.in:

 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_GCC): Remove --enable-gcc option.

 	* win/README: Add note about building with Cygwin.

 	* win/configure.in: 

 	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_GCC): Remove --enable-gcc option.

 	Remove quick hack that provided cross compile support for

 	windows builds.

 2000-08-24  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

 	Overall change:  Added support for command rename/delete traces

 	and new trace syntax, from patch from Vince Darley.  Added support

 	for array traces for variables.  [RFE: 5048, 5967].

 	* doc/trace.n: Updated documentation for new syntax; flagged old

 	syntax as deprecated; added documentation for command

 	rename/delete traces and variable array traces.

 	* tests/trace.test: Updated tests for new trace syntax; new tests

 	for command rename/delete traces; new tests for array traces.

 	* generic/tclVar.c: Support for new trace syntax; support for

 	TCL_TRACE_ARRAY.

 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

 	* generic/tclDecls.h:

 	* generic/tcl.decls: Stub functions for command rename/delete traces.

 	* generic/tcl.h: 

 	* generic/tclInt.h:

 	* generic/tclBasic.c: Support for command traces.

 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclTraceVariableObjCmd): Patched to support

 	new [trace] syntax:  

 	trace {add|remove|list} {variable|command} name ops command

 	Added support for command traces (rename, delete operations).

 	Added support for TCL_TRACE_ARRAY at Tcl level (array operation

 	for variable traces).

 2000-08-20  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* generic/tclVar.c: Added check for non-arrays for [array statistics]

 	command (patch from Mark Patton).

 2000-08-19  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h: without a previous '#include <windows.h>',

 	tclPlatDecls.h can't be parsed due to a missing definition of TCHAR.

 	Added a check to include it when not defined.

 	***POSSIBLE OBSCURE BUG*** could be caused when the compile flags

 	for the core happen to be different than a project who uses these

 	publics regarding -D_MBCS and -D_UNICODE.  This added check might

 	have to be revisited later with a better understanding of the

 	reprocusions.  I think TCHAR should be replaced with it's expansion.

 2000-08-18  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* win/.cvsignore (added): provides a cleaner build environment with

 	graphical CVS clients.

 2000-08-15  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Set debug level in

 	tcltest::restoreState to 2, for consistancy with the debug level

 	in tcltest::saveState [Bug: 4505].

 2000-08-14  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* win/makefile.vc: 

 	* win/Makefile.in: 

 	* unix/Makefile.in: Added tclPlatDecls.h to the list of installed

 	headers, for more complete stubs support. [Bug: 5241].

 	* generic/tcl.h: Added #include "tclPlatDecls.h" to get

 	platform-specific stubs declarations (Tcl_WinTCharToUtf, etc)

 	[Bug: 5241].

 	* README: Updated link for instructions on compiling Tcl from

 	sources to point to correct location

 	(http://dev.scriptics.com/doc/... instead of

 	http://dev.scriptics.com/support/...).

 2000-08-11  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* generic/tclEnv.c (TclUnsetEnv): Changed declaration of length

 	variable from "unsigned int" to "int", to match usage when passed

 	to TclpFindVariable [Bug: 6126].

 2000-08-10  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* library/msgcat1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: Bumped version number to 1.2

 	[Bug: 6100].

 	* library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: Removed erroneous [package forget]

 	in msgcat namespace initializer.  Bumped version number to 1.2

 	[Bug: 6100].

 2000-08-10  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* generic/tclObj.c: r1.15 accidentally changed a global mutex

 	name tclObjMutex to ObjMutex.  Put the correct name back.

 2000-08-07  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* tests/indexObj.test: Added tests using the [testwrongnumargs]

 	command to test Tcl_WrongNumArgs.

 	* generic/tclTest.c (TestWrongNumArgsObjCmd): Added test function

 	for the Tcl_WrongNumArgs function.

 	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs): Corrected algorithm to

 	not insert a space before the message component when objc == 0

 	[Bug: 6078].

 2000-07-27  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

 	* win/configure.in: TCL_STUB_LIB_FLAG should not

 	include ${TCL_DBGX} in win/tclConfig.sh, fix that.

 	* win/tclWinInit.c:  Thread-safe rewrite for tclAsync.c.  Added

 	notifier alerting on all platforms as it was only working on Win

 	before.  Removed older Win hacks that would end-up waking the

 	wrong notifier in the presence of a threaded build.  All tests

 	pass as before.  New test cases will be added soon for the new

 	behavior.  [BUG: 5791]

 2000-07-25  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* generic/tclVar.c (CallTraces): Added check for VAR_TRACE_ACTIVE

 	on the array containing the variable before executing traces on

 	that array, to conform with normal variable traces and the

 	documentation, which states that while executing a trace, other

 	traces on that variable are disabled. [Bug: 6049].

 	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Added Tcl_DStringFree call

 	to prevent potential memory leaks [Bug: 6041].

 2000-07-24  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* doc/msgcat.n: Added documentation about the selection of the

 	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Added tests for pkg_compareExtension.

 	* library/package.tcl: Enhanced pkg_compareExtension to handle

 	Unixes which tack the version number on to the end of library

 	names (eg, foo.so.1.2); such filenames will be correctly matched.

 	(Patch from Vince Darley).

 	* win/makefile.vc: Applied patch from Don Porter to provide better

 	nmake support for NT/Alpha [RFE: 5938].

 2000-07-18  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

 	* unix/configure.in:

 	* unix/tcl.m4:

 	* win/tcl.m4: Properly quote arguments to m4 macros. This allows

 	Tcl to work with the new version of autoconf.

 2000-07-18  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* tests/opt.test: Removed references to Lfirst, Lrest functions.

 	* library/opt0.4/optparse.tcl: Applied patch from Chris Nelson,

 	which replaces the [Lfirst] function with an inline [lindex ... 0]

 	and [Lrest] with [lrange ... 1 end], for better performance. 

 	[RFE: 6019]

 2000-07-18  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* compat/string.h: Fixed function prototypes for strpbrk and

 	strtok [Bug: 6020].

 2000-07-17  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

 	* win/tclWinChan.c: Win2K OS bug with

 	GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE)	giving the wrong answer.  This

 	made TclpGetDefaultStdChannel grab what it thought was a valid

 	native stdout handle.  Added a new WriteFile() test to	make sure

 	it's really valid.  This OS bug doesn't affect the shells.  Only

 	-subsystem:windows (aka WinMain) application that dynamically

 	load tclXX.dll [BUG: 5971]

 2000-07-17  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: 

 	* doc/msgcat.n: 

 	* tests/msgcat.test: Applied patches from Chris Nelson, to provide

 	the mcmset function, which allows the translator to set multiple

 	string translations in a single function call, rather than

 	requiring many calls to mcset. [RFE: 6000, 5993].  In addition,

 	these patches correct mcload to use utf-8 encoding on when reading

 	message catalog files, and provides for better default behavior

 	for determining the locale on a Windows system.

 2000-07-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_GCC): Don't set CC=gcc

 2000-06-27  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/stringObj.test: Tweaked tests to avoid hardcoded

 	high-ASCII characters (which will fail in multibyte locales);

 2000-05-31  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/set-old.test:

 	* doc/unset.n:

 	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UnsetObjCmd): added -nocomplain and --

 	options to unset, to allow for a silent unset operation.

 2000-05-31  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): Added support for regexp and

 	exact matching for [array names] command. [RFE: 3684].

 	* doc/array.n: Added documentation for [array names

 	-exact/-regexp/-glob] [RFE: 3684].

 	* tests/set-old.test: Added tests for [array names

 	-exact/-regexp/-glob] [RFE: 3684].

 2000-06-06  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	8.4a1 RELEASE

 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode INST_STR_CMP): added

 	test of iResult return from memcmp, as memcmp isn't required to

 	return only -1,0,1.

 2000-06-03  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): Corrected

 	caching of the index ptr to account for offsets != sizeof(char *).

 	[Bug: 5153]

 2000-05-29  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/http.test

 	* doc/http.n

 	* library/http2.3/http.tcl: Fixed bug 5741, where unsuccessful

 	geturl calls sometimes leaked memory and resources (sockets).  

 	Also, switched around some of the logic so that http::wait never 

 	throws an exception.  This is because in an asynchronous geturl, 

 	the command callback will probably end up doing all the error 

 	handling anyway, and in an asynchronous situation, the user

 	expects to check the state when the transaction completes, as

 	opposed to being thrown an exception.	For the http package, this

 	menas the user can check http::status for "error" and http::error

 	for the error message after doing the http::wait.

 2000-05-27  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/info.test:

 	* doc/info.n:

 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_EvalFile):

 	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoScriptCmd): added ability to set the

 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): reworked to operate in

 	Unicode, tweaked for performance.

 	something more understandable, reworked STR_FIRST, STR_LAST,

 	STR_MAP, STR_MATCH, STR_RANGE, STR_REPLACE to operate in Unicode.

 	Removed inneffectual STR_RANGE "special" ByteArray support.

 	Optimized STR_MAP algorithm, especially optimized for one-pair case.

 	Fixed possible mem overrun in STR_INDEX bytearray case.

 	* generic/tclCompExpr.c: changed INST_STREQ -> INST_STR_EQ,

 	INST_STRNEQ -> INST_STR_NEQ

 	* generic/tclCompile.c: added streq, strneq, strcmp, strlen &

 	strmatch to the compiled stats instructionTable

 	* generic/tclCompile.h: added instructions INST_STR_CMP,

 	INST_STR_INDEX, INST_STR_MATCH

 	trying to reuse the top stack object.

 	Added INST_STR_CMP, INST_STR_INDEX, INST_STR_MATCH bytecode ops.

 	Extended evalstats output info with Tcl_IsShared stat info.

 	* generic/tclInt.h:

 	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_DbIsShared): added support for checking

 	result of Tcl_IsShared in evalstats (TCL_COMPILE_STATS).

 	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendUnicodeToObj): removed dead code.

 	(AppendUnicodeToUnicodeRep) removed overallocation by extra

 	sizeof(Tcl_UniChar) multiplier.

 	TclCompileStringCmd and TclCompileReturnCmd.

 	* generic/tclCompile.h: Added definition of INST_STRLEN opcode and

 	updated LAST_INST_OPCODE value.

 	* generic/tclBasic.c: Added information about TclCompileStringCmd

 	and TclCompileReturnCmd to BuiltInCmds table.

 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Added support for the

 	INST_STRLEN opcode.

 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c 

 	(TclCompileStringCmd): Basic implementation of byte-compiled

 	[string] command.  Not all subcommands are implemented; those

 	that are not an out-line compiled.

 	(TclCompileReturnCmd): Byte-compiled implementation of [return]

 	command.  Only "simple" returns are byte-compiled; in particular,

 	if the -code, -errorinfo or -errorcode flags are used, the command

 	is not byte-compiled.

 2000-05-19  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* generic/tclTest.c:

 	* generic/tclIO.c: moved channel test commands from tclIO.c to

 	tclTest.c.

 	* generic/tclIO.h: new file, split out from tclIO.c to allow test

 	commands to be moved to tclTest.c.

 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

 	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:

 	* generic/tclInt.decls: removed TclTestChannel*Cmd from internal

 	stubs table and added TclChannelEventScriptInvoker to the internal

 	stubs table so it can be used from the test code.

 2000-05-18  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/clock.test: Added test for "2 days 2 hours ago" style

 	specifications.

 	* generic/tclDate.c: Regenerated from tclGetDate.y.

 	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Tweaked grammar to properly handle the

 	"ago" keyword when it follows multiple relative unit specifiers,

 	as in "2 days 2 hours ago".  [Bug: 5497].

 2000-05-18  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* win/{tcl.m4,Makefile.in,configure.in}: added support for mingw

 	* doc/namespace.n:

 	* tests/namespace.test:

 	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_NamespaceObjCmd): added 'namespace

 	* doc/source.n:

 	* doc/Eval.3:

 	* tests/source.test:

 	parse terms (string (in)equality check).

 	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LinsertObjCmd): made use of

 	Tcl_DuplicateObj where code was otherwise duplicated.  Made

 	special case of inserting one element at the end work again (where

 	index == len).

 	(Tcl_LreplaceObjCmd): moved Tcl_DuplicateObj call lower and

 	cleaned	up use of other arguments.

 	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_DuplicateObj): simplified code to call

 	TclInitStringRep, which the code was just duplicating in part.

 	* doc/Utf.3:

 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

 	* unix/Makefile.in: add tclsh.ico and tcl.spec to dist target

 2000-05-02  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>

 	* Overall changes:

 	  (1) Implementation of joinable threads for all platforms.

 	  (2) Additional API's for channels. Required to allow the

 	  thread extension to move channels between threads.

 	* generic/tcl.decls (lines 1360f): Added Tcl_JoinThread,

 	  Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_CutChannel,

 	  Tcl_SpliceChannel, Tcl_IsChannelExisting and

 	  Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers (slots 394 to 400).

 	* generic/tclIO.c: Implemented Tcl_IsChannelRegistered,

  	  Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel,

  	  Tcl_IsChannelExisting and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers.

 	  Tcl_CutChannel uses code from CloseChannel. Replaced this code

  	  by a call to Tcl_CutChannel.  Replaced several code fragments

  	  adding channels to the channel list with calls to

  	  Tcl_SpliceChannel. Removed now unused variables from

  	  CloseChannel and Tcl_UnstackChannel.  Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers

  	  uses code from Tcl_Close. Replaced this code by a call to

  	  Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers. Removed now unused variables from

  	  Tcl_Close. Added the subcommands 'cut', 'forgetch', 'splice' and

  	  'isshared' to the test code

 	  (TclTestChannelCmd).

 	* unix/tclUnixThread.c: Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using the

 	  pthread-functionality.

 	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Fixed several small typos in comments.

 	  Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using a platform independent

 	  emulation layer (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c below). Added

 	  'joinLock' to serialize Tcl_CreateThread and TclpExitThread to

 	  prevent a race for joinable threads.

 	* mac/tclMacThrd.c: Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using a platform

 	  independent emulation layer (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c

 	  below). Due to the cooperative nature of threading on this

 	  platform the race mentioned above is not present.

 	* generic/tclThreadJoin.c: New file. Contains a platform

 	  independent emulation layer helping in the implementation of

 	  joinable threads for the win and mac platforms.

 	* generic/tclInt.h: Added declarations for TclJoinThread,

 	  TclRememberJoinableThread and TclSignalExitThread. These

 	  procedures define the API of the emulation layer for joinable

 	  threads (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c above).

 	* win/Makefile.in:

 	* win/makefile.vc: Added generic/tclTheadJoin.o to the rules.

 	* mac/: I don't know to which file generic/tclTheadJoin.o has to

 	  be added to so that it compiles. Sorry.

 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: #ifdef'd the thread-local list of file

  	  channels as it prevents us from transfering channels. To restore

  	  this we may need an extended interface to drivers in the

  	  future. Target: 9.0. Found while testing the new transfer of

  	  channels. The information in this list for a channel was left

  	  behind and then crashed the system during finalization.

 	* generic/tclThreadTest.c: Added -joinable flag to 'testthread

 	  create'. Added subcommand 'testthread join'.

 	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Added documentation for Tcl_IsChannelRegistered,

  	  Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel,

 	  Tcl_IsChannelExisting and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers.

 	* doc/Thread.3: Added documentation for Tcl_JoinThread.

 	* tests/thread.test: Added tests for joining of threads.

 	functions that expr supports [Bug: 1054].

 2000-04-26  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* doc/memory.n: Man page for Tcl "memory" command, which is

 	created when TCL_MEM_DEBUG is defined at compile time.

 	* doc/TCL_MEM_DEBUG.3: Man page with overall information about

 	TCL_MEM_DEBUG usage.

 	* doc/DumpActiveMemory.3: Man page for Tcl_DumpActiveMemory,

 	Tcl_InitMemory, and Tcl_ValidateAllMemory [Bug: 1816, 1835].

 	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: Fixed some function headers.

 	* unix/mkLinks: Regen'd with new mkLinks.tcl.

 	* unix/mkLinks.tcl: Fixed indentation, made link setup more

 	intelligent (only do one existance test per man page, instead of

 	one per function).

 	* doc/library.n: Fixed .SH NAME macro to include each function

 	documented on the page, so that mkLinks will know about the

 	functions listed there, and so that the Windows help file index

 	will get set up correctly [Bug: 1898, 5273].

 	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_FinalizeNotifier, NotifierThreadProc):

 	added write of 'q' into triggerPipe for notifier in threaded case,

 	so that Tcl doesn't hang when children are still running [Bug: 4139]

 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_MutexLock): minor comment fixes.

 2000-04-23  Jim Ingham  <jingham@cygnus.com>

 	These changes make some error handling marginally better for Mac

 	sockets.  It is still somewhat flakey, however.

 	* mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpClose): Add timeouts to the close - these

 	don't seem to be honored, however.

 	Use a separate PB for the release, since an async connect socket

 	will still be using the original buffer.

 	Make sure TCPRelease returns noErr before freeing the recvBuff.

 	If the call returns an error, then the buffer is not right.

 	* mac/tclMacSock.c (CreateSocket): Add timeouts to the async

 	create. These don't seem to trigger, however.  Sigh...

 	* mac/tclMacSock.c (WaitForSocketEvent): If an TCP_ASYNC_CONNECT

 	socket errors out, then return EWOULDBLOCK & error out.

 	* mac/tclMacSock.c (NotifyRoutine): Added a NotifyRoutine for

 	experimenting with MacTCP.

 2000-04-22  Jim Ingham <jingham@cygnus.com>

 	* library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown): Fixed a typo in the Mac package

 	search part of tclPkgUnknown.

 2000-04-21  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

 	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed a newly introduced bug where if

 	there's a -command callback and something goes wrong, geturl threw

 	an exception, called the callback, and unset the token.  I changed

 	it so that it will not call the callback when throwing an

 	exception (so the caller only finds out about a given error from

 	one place).  Also, fixed http::ncode so that it actually gives you

 	back the http return code (i.e. 200, 404, etc.) instead of the

 	first digit of the version of HTTP being used (i.e. 1).

 2000-04-21  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>

 	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: More thrashing with the "server closes

 	without reading post data" scenario.  Reverted to the previous

 	filevent configuratiuon, which seems to work better with small

 	amounts of post data.  

 2000-04-20  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* generic/tclAlloc.c: wrapped caddr_t define to not be done on Unix

 	* unix/tclAppInit.c (main): removed #ifdef TCL_TEST that sets the

 	library path as it was unnecessary and conflicts with move of

 	tclLibraryPath to thread-local storage.

 2000-04-18  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>

 	* win/Makefile.in:

 	* win/tcl.rc:

 	* win/tclsh.rc:

 	* win/tclsh.ico:  Modified copyright dates in Windows resource

 	files.  Added an icon for tclsh.exe.

 2000-04-17  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>

 	* generic/tcl.h, generic/tclThreadTest.c, unix/tclUnixThrd.c,

 	win/tclWinThread.c, mac/tclMacThread.c:

 	Added Tcl_CreateThreadType and TCL_RETURN_THREAD_TYPE

 	macros for declaring the NewThread callback proc.

 2000-04-14  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyParseMode): Only allow setting mark/space

 	parity on platforms that support it [Bug: 5089]

 	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_GetVersion): adjusted use of major/minor

 	to not conflict with global decl on some systems [Bug: 2882]

 2000-04-13  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* doc/regexp.n: doc clarification [Bug: 5037]

 	* doc/update.n: typo fix [Bug: 4996]

 	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): enhanced the detection of

 	pthread_mutex_init [Bug: 4359] and (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS) added

 	--enable-64bit-vis switch for Sparc VIS compilation [Bug: 4995]

 2000-04-12  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* doc/dde.n: corrected dde poke docs. [Bug: 4991]

 2000-04-11  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Added "CONST" keyword to declaration of char

 	*native in TclpCreateTempFile, to supress compiler warnings.

 2000-04-10  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>

 	* generic/tcl.h: Fixed Tcl_CreateThread declaration.

 	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Fixed the "mainThread"

 	initialization to work with either testthread or the thread extension

 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Fixed compiler warning when compiling

 	with -DTCL_THREADS

 2000-04-10  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): Added conversion of

 	contents string from UTF to native encoding [Bug: 4030].

 	* tests/regexp.test: Added tests for infinite looping in [regexp

 	-all].

 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Fixed infinite loop bug with [regexp -all]

 	[Bug: 4981].

 	* tests/*.test: Changed all occurances of "namespace import

 	::tcltest" to "namespace import -force ::tcltest" [Bug: 3948].

 2000-04-09  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>

 	* lib/httpd2.1/http.tcl: Worked on the "server closes before

 	reading post data" case, which unfortunately causes different

 	error cases on Solaris, which can read the reply, and Linux

 	and Windows, which cannot read anything.  This is all in the

 	loop-back case - client and server on the same host.  Also

 	unified the error handling so the "ioerror" status goes away

 	and errors are reflected in a more uniform way. Updated the

 	man page to document the behavior.

 2000-04-09  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/reg.test (matchexpected): corrected tests to use tcltest

 	constraint types to skip certain tests.

 	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_SetCommandInfo): comment fix

 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread): moved TCL_THREADS ifdef

 	inside of func as it is declared for non-threads builds as well.

 	In the non-threads case, it always returns TCL_ERROR (couldn't

 	create thread).

 2000-04-08  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>

 	* Overall change: Definition of a public API for the creation of

 	  new threads.

 	* generic/tclInt.h (line 1802f): Removed the definition of

 	'TclpThreadCreate'. (line 793f) Removed the definition of

 	'Tcl_ThreadCreateProc'.

 	* generic/tcl.h (line 388f): Readded the definition of

 	  'Tcl_ThreadCreateProc'. Added Win32 stuff send in by David

 	  Graveraux <davygrvy@bigfoot.com> to that too (__stdcall,

 	  ...). Added macros for the default stacksize and allowed flags.

 	* generic/tcl.decls (line 1356f): Added definition of

 	  'Tcl_CreateThread', slot 393 of the stub table. Two new

 	  arguments in the public API, for stacksize and flags.

 	* win/tclWinThrd.c:

 	* mac/tclMacThrd.c: Renamed TclpThreadCreate to Tcl_CreateThread,

 	  added handling of the stacksize. Flags are currently ignored.

 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: See above, but handles joinable

 	  flag. Ignores the specified stacksize if the macro

 	  HAVE_PTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE is not defined.

 	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (line 363): See below.

 	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (line 210): Adapted to the changes

 	  above. Uses default stacksize and no flags now.

 	* unic/tcl.m4 (line 382f): Added a check for

 	  'pthread_attr_setstacksize' to detect platforms not implementing

 	  this feature of pthreads. If it is implemented, configure will

 	  define the macro HAVE_PTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE (See

 	  unix/tclUnixThrd.c too).

 	* doc/Thread.3: Added Tcl_CreateThread and its arguments to the

 	  list of described functions. Removed stuff about not providing a

 	  public C-API for thread-creation.

 2000-04-07  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* doc/binary.n: clarified docs on sign extension in binary scan

 	[Bug: 3466]

 	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl (initConstraints): removed win32s

 	references (no longer supported)

 	* tests/fCmd.test: marked test 8.1 knownBug because it is

 	dangerous on poorly configured systems [Bug: 3881]

 	and added 8.2 to keep essence of 8.1 tested.

 2000-04-05  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>

 	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_UnstackChannel, line 1831): Forcing

 	interest mask to the correct value after an unstack and

 	re-initialization of the notifier via the watchProc. Without this

 	the first fileevent after an unstack will come through and be

 	processed, but no more. [Bug: ??].

 2000-03-04  Brent Welch  <welch@scriptics.com>

 	* {win,unix}/Makefile.in: added dependency of tclStubInit.c on

 	tcl.decls and tclInt.decls

 	* generic/tclThread.c: Tweak so this compiles w/out TCL_THREADS

 	* generic/{tcl.decls,tclStubInit.c}:  Just touched the tcl.decls and

 	regenerated the tclStubInit.c file

 2000-03-29  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

 	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: For the -querychannel option,

 	fconfigure the socket to be binary so that we don't translate

 	anything while reading the data.  This is because we determine the

 	content length of the data on the channel by using seek (to the end

 	of the file) and tell on the file handle, and we need the

 	content-length to match the amount of data actually sent, and

 	translation can affect the number of bytes posted.

 2000-04-03  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>

 	* Overall change: Definition of public API's for the finalization

 	of conditions and mutexes. [Bug: 4199].

 	* generic/tclInt.h: Removed definitions of TclFinalizeMutex and

 	TclFinalizeCondition.

 	* generic/tcl.decls: Added declarations of Tcl_MutexFinalize and

 	Tcl_ConditionFinalize.

 	* generic/tclThread.c: Renamed TclFinalizeMutex to

 	Tcl_MutexFinalize. Renamed TclFinalizeCondition to

 	Tcl_ConditionFinalize.

 	* generic/tclNotify.c: Changed usage of TclFinalizeMutex to

 	Tcl_MutexFinalize.

 	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: 

 	* generic/tclThreadTest.c: Changed usages of TclFinalizeCondition to

 	Tcl_ConditionFinalize.

 	* generic/tcl.h: Added empty macros for Tcl_MutexFinalize and

 	Tcl_ConditionFinalize, to be used when the core is compiled

 	without threads. 

 	* doc/Thread.3:	Added description the new API's.

 2000-04-03  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoVarsCmd): checked for non-NULL procPtr

 	to prevent itcl info override crash [Bug: 4064]

 	* tests/foreach.test:

 	* tests/namespace.test:

 	* tests/var.test: Added lsorts to avoid random sorted return

 	problems. [Bug: 2682]

 	* tests/fileName.test: fixed 14.1 test fragility [Bug: 1482]

 	* tools/man2help2.tcl: fixed winhelp cross-linking error [Bug: 4156]

 	improved translation to winhelp [Bug: 3679]

 	* unix/Makefile.in (MAN_INSTALL_DIR): patch to accept --mandir

 	correctly [Bug: 4085]

 	* unix/dltest/pkg[a-e].c: Cleaned up test packages [Bug: 2293]

 2000-04-03  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (SetGroupAttribute): 

 	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (SetOwnerAttribute): Added (uid_t) and (gid_t) 

 	casts to avoid compiler warnings.

 2000-03-31  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* generic/tclGet.c (Tcl_GetDouble): Added additional conditions to

 	error test (previously only errno was checked, but the return

 	value of strtod() should be checked as well).  [Bug: 4118].

 	* tests/exec.test: Added test for proper conversion of UTF data

 	when used with "<< $dataWithUTF" on exec's.

 	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): Added

 	Tcl_UtfToExternalDString call, so that if there is UTF content in

 	the string it will be properly converted to the system encoding

 	before being written [Bug: 4030].

 	(TclpCreateTempFile): Added a check on the return value of tmpnam;

 	some systems (Linux, for example) will start to return NULL after

 	tmpnam has been called TMP_MAX times; not checking for this can

 	have bad results (overwriting temp files, core dumps, etc.)

 2000-03-30  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): Added comments

 	noting the need to pair ckalloc with ckfree. [Bug: 4262]

 	* generic/tclInt.decls:

 	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:

 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: removed TclWinSynchSpawn (vestige of Win32s

 	support).

 	* win/tclWinReg.c: made use of TclWinGetPlatformId instead of

 	getting info again

 	* win/tclWinPort.h:

 	* win/Makefile.in:

 	* win/configure.in:

 	* win/tcl.m4: Added support for gcc/mingw on Windows [Bug: 4234]

 2000-03-29  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCleanupByteCode): made ByteCode cleanup

 	more aware of TCL_BYTECODE_PRECOMPILED flagged structs (gen'd by

 	tbcload), to correctly clean them up.

 	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): moved check for empty format

 	earlier, commented 0 result return value

 2000-03-29  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

 	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Removed an unnecessary fileevent

 	statement from the error processing part of the Write method.

 	Also, fixed two potential memory leaks in wait and reset, in which

 	the state array wasn't being unset before throwing an exception.

 	Prior to this version, Brent checked in a fix to catch a

 	fileevent statement that was sometimes causing a stack trace when

 	geturl was called with -timeout.  I believe Brent's fix is

 	necessary because TLS closes bad sockets for secure connections,

 	and the fileevent was trying to act on a socket that no longer

 	existed.

 2000-03-27  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/httpd: removed unnecessary 'puts stderr "Post Dispatch"'

 	* tests/namespace.test:

 	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_Export): added a uniq'ing test to the

 	export list so only one instance of each export pattern would

 	exist in the list.

 	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): optimized case for

 	the empty string in ==/!= comparisons

 2000-03-27  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: Added (off_t) type casts in lseek() call

 	[Bug: 4409].

 	* unix/tclLoadAout.c: 

 	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c: Added (off_t) type casts in lseek() calls

 	[Bug: 4410].

 2000-03-22  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

 	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed a bug where string query data

 	that was bigger than queryblocksize would get duplicate characters

 	at block boundaries.

 2000-03-22  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

 	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed bug 4463, where we were getting

 	a stack trace if we tried to publish a project to a good host but

 	a port where there was no server listening.  It turned out the

 	problem was a stray fileevent that needed to be cleared.  Also,

 	fixed a bug where http::code could stack trace if called on a bad

 	token (one which didn't represent a successful geturl) by adding

 	an http element to the state array in geturl.

 2000-03-21  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/clock.test: Modified some tests that were not robust with

 	respect to the time zone in which they were run and were thus

 	failing.

 	* doc/clock.n: Clarified meaning of -gmt with respect to -base

 	when used with [clock scan] (-gmt does not affect the

 	interpretation of -base).

 2000-03-19  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

 	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: geturl used to throw an exception when

 	the connection failed; I accidentally returned a token with the

 	error info, breaking backwards compatibility.  I changed it back

 	to throwing an exception, but unsetting the state array first

 	(thus still eliminating the original memory leak problem).

 2000-03-19  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

 	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Added -querychannel option and altered

 	some of Brent's modifications to allow asynchronous posts (via

 	-command).  Also modified -queryprogress so that it calls the

 	query callback as <callback> <token> <total size> <current size>

 	to be consistent with -progress.  Added -queryblocksize option

 	with default 8192 bytes for post blocksize.  Fixed a bunch of

 	potential memory leaks for the case when geturl receives bad args

 	or can't open a socket, etc.  Overall, the package really rocks

 	now.

 	* doc/http.n: Added -queryblocksize, -querychannel, and

 	-queryprogress.  Also, changed the description of -blocksize,

 	which states that the -progress callback will be called for each

 	block, to now qualify that with an "if -progress is specified".

 	* tests/http.test: Added a querychannel test for synchronous and

 	asynchronous posts, altered the queryprogress test such that the

 	callback conforms to the -progress format.  Also, had to use the

 	-queryblocksize option to do the post 16K at a time to match

 	Brent's expected results (and to test that -queryblocksize works).

 2000-03-15  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>

 	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Added -queryprogress callback to

 	http::geturl and also changed it so that writing the post data

 	is event driven if the queryprogress callback or a timeout is given.

 	This allows a timeout to occur when writing lots of post data.

 	The queryprogress callback is called after each block of query

 	data is posted.  It has the same signature as the -progress callback.

 2000-03-06  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* library/package.tcl: Applied patch from Bug: 2570; rather than

 	setting geometry of slave interp to 0x0 when Tk was loaded, it now

 	does "wm withdraw .".  Both remove the main window from the

 	display, but the former caused some internal structures to get

 	initialized to zero, which caused crashes with some extensions.

 2000-03-02  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown): extended to allow

 	recognizes changes in the auto_path while sourcing in other

 	pkgIndex.tcl files

 	* doc/FindExec.3: fixed doc for declaration of Tcl_FindExecutable

 	[Bug: 4275]

 	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_TranslateFileName): Applied patch

 	from Newman to significantly speedup file split/join on Windows

 	(replaces regexp with custom parser).  [Bug: 2867]

 	* win/README.binary: change mailing lists from @consortium.org

 	to @scriptics.com [Bug: 4173]

 2000-02-28  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/clock.test: Added test for ISO bases < 100000

 	* generic/tclDate.c: (generated on Solaris)

 	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Changed condition for deciding if a number

 	is an ISO 8601 base from number >= 100000 to numberOfDigits >= 6.

 	Previously it would fail to recognize 000000 as an ISO base.

 2000-02-14  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* unix/Makefile.in: Added rpm target to generate Tcl binary RPM.

 	* unix/tcl.spec: RPM specification file for a Tcl binary RPM for

 	Linux.

 2000-02-10  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	8.3.0 RELEASE

 	* changes: updated for 8.3.0 release

 	* doc/load.n: added notes about dll load errors on Windows

 	* unix/README:

 	* unix/Makefile.in (dist): removed porting.notes and porting.old

 	refer to http://dev.scriptics.com/services/support/platforms.html

 	* tests/unixInit.test: fixed japanese LANG encoding test [Bug: 3549]

 	* unix/configure.in:

 	* unix/tcl.m4: correct CFLAG_WARNING setting,

 	fixed gcc config for AIX,

 	added -export-dynamic to LDFLAGS for FreeBSD-3+ [Bug: 2998]

 	* win/tclWinLoad.c (TclpLoadFile): improved error message for load

 	failures, could perhaps be even more intelligent.

 2000-02-09  Jim Ingham	 <jingham@cygnus.com>

 	* mac/tclMacSock.c: Don't panic when you get an error closing an async 

 	socket.	 This doesn't seem to hurt anything, and we return the error so

 	the caller can do the right thing.

 	New Files:

 	* mac/MW_TclHeader.h:

 	* mac/MW_TclTestHeader.h:

 	* mac/MW_TclTestHeader.pch:

 	* mac/MW_TclAppleScriptHeader.h: More convenient to use .h prefix files

 	in the preference panels...

 	The above are curtesy of Daniel Steffen (steffen@math.mq.edu.au)

 2000-02-08  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/clock.test: Added tests for "next monthname" constructs.

 	* generic/tclDate.c: 

 	* generic/tclGetDate.y (Message): Added a grammar rule for "next

 	monthname" so that we can handle "next january" and similar

 	constructs (bug #4146).

 2000-02-08  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	list to allow dirnames with spaces

 	* unix/tcl.m4: changed all -fpic to -fPIC

 	* generic/tclDecls.h:

 	* generic/tcl.decls: change Tcl_GetOpenFile to use decl of 'int

 	forWriting' instead of 'int write' to avoid shadowing [Bug: 4121]

 	* tests/httpold.test: changed test script to source in the httpd

 	server procs from httpd instead of having its own set.

 	* tests/httpd: improved query support in test httpd to handle fix

 	in http.tcl. [Bug: 4089 change 2000-02-01]

 	* unix/README: fixed notes about --enable-shared and add note

 	about --disable-shared.

 2000-02-07  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/package.test: 

 	* library/tclIndex: 

 	* library/package.tcl: Renamed ::package namespace to ::pkg.

 2000-02-03  Eric Melski <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* doc/Package.n:

 	* doc/packagens.n: Renamed Package.n -> packagens.n because Windows 

 	can't deal with case-sensitive names.

 2000-02-02  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/regexp.test: added tests for -all and -inline switches

 	* doc/regexp.n: added docs for -all and -inline switches

 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): added extra comments for

 	new -all and -inline switches to regexp command

 2000-02-01  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* library/init.tcl: Applied patch from rfe 1734 regarding

 	auto_load errors not setting error message and errorInfo properly.

 2000-02-01  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* win/Makefile.in (install-*): reduced verbosity of install

 	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_JoinPath): improved support for special

 	QNX node id prefixes in pathnames [Bug: 4053]

 	* library/http1.0/http.tcl:

 	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: The query data POSTed was newline

 	terminated when it shouldn't be altered [Bug: 4089]

 2000-01-31  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/package.test: 

 	* library/tclIndex: 

 	* library/package.tcl: Added ::package namespace and

 	::package::create function.

 	* library/init.tcl: Fixed problem with auto_load and determining

 	if commands were loaded.

 	* library/auto.tcl: "Fixed" issues with $ in files to be auto indexed.

 	* doc/Package.n: New man page for package::create function.

 	* doc/pkgMkIndex.n: Added additional information.

 	* doc/library.n: Added additional qualification regarding auto_mkindex.

 2000-01-28  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/pkg/magicchar2.tcl: 

 	* tests/autoMkindex.test: Test for auto loader fix (bug #2480).

 	* library/init.tcl: auto_load was using [info commands $name] to

 	determine if a given command was available; if the command name

 	had * or [] it, this would fail because info commands uses

 	glob-style matching.  This is fixed.  (Bug #2480).

 	* tests/pkg/spacename.tcl: 

 	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Tests for fix for bug #2360.

 	* library/package.tcl: Fixed to extract only the first element of

 	the list returned by auto_qualify (bug #2360).

 	* tests/pkg/magicchar.tcl: 

 	* tests/autoMkindex.test: Test for fix for bug #2611.

 	* library/auto.tcl: Fixed the regular expression that performs $

 	escaping before sourcing a file to index.  It was erroneously

 	adding \ escapes even to $'s that were already escaped,

 	effectively "un-escaping" those $'s.  (bug #2611).

 2000-01-27  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/autoMkindex.test: 

 	* library/auto.tcl: Applied patch (with slight modification) from

 	bug #2701:  auto_mkIndex uses platform dependent file paths.

 	Added test for fix.

 2000-01-27  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@scriptics.com>

 	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Changed NormalizePath to

 	normalizePath and exported it as a public proc.  This proc 

 	creates an absolute path given the name of the variable containing

 	the path to modify.  The path is modified in place.

 	* library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: Added normalizePath.

 	* tests/all.tcl: Changed code to use normalizePath.

 2000-01-27  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/pkg/samename.tcl: test file for bug #1983

 	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: 

 	* doc/pkgMkIndex.n: 

 	* library/package.tcl: Per rfe #4097, optimized creation of direct

 	load packages to bypass computing the list of commands added by

 	the new package.  Also made direct loading the default, and added

 	a -lazy option.

 	Fixed bug #1983, dealing with pkg_mkIndex incorrectly handling

 	situations with two procs by the same name but in different

 	namespaces (ie, foo::baz and bar::baz).

 2000-01-26  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	stack size for OSF1-V* when building with threads. [Bug: 4063]

 	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): inlined resultPtr, as it

 	conflicted with var creation for HAVE_TZSET #def [Bug: 4063]

 	* library/init.tcl (auto_execok): added 'start' to list of

 	recognized built-in commands for COMSPEC on NT. [Bug: 2858]

 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: moved include of <utime.h> lower since some

 	systems (UTS) require sys/types.h to be included first [Bug: 4031]

 	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (CreateSocketAddress): changed comparison

 	with -1 to 0xFFFFFFFF, to ensure 32 bit comparison even on 64 bit

 	systems. [Bug: 3878]

 	for the Mac. (Darley)

 	* generic/tclInt.h:

 2000-01-21  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* unix/mkLinks: 

 	* doc/GetHostName.3: Man page for Tcl_GetHostName (bug #1817).

 	* doc/lreplace.n: Corrected man page with respect to treatment of

 	* tests/namespace.test: Added test for undefined variables with

 	namespace which (bug #956).

 	* generic/tclNamesp.c: Added check for undefined variables in

 	NamespaceWhichCmd (bug #956).

 	* tests/var.test: Added tests for corrected variable behavior 

 	(bug #981).

 	* doc/upvar.n: Expanded explanation of upvar behavior with respect to

 	variable traces.  (bugs 3917 1433 2110).

 	* generic/tclVar.c: Changed behavior of variable command when name

 	refers to an element in an array (ie, "variable foo(x)") to always

 	return an error, regardless of existance of that element in the

 	array (now behavior is consistant with docs too) (bug #981).

 2000-01-20  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

 	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoBodyCmd): made [info body] return a

 	string if the body has been bytecompiled.

 	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalObjEx): added pedantic check for

 	originating proc body of bytecompiled code, #def'd out as the

 	change for [info body] should make it unnecessary

 	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): added cast for tsdPtr

 	* tests/set.test: added test for complex array elem name compiling

 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSetCmd): Fixed parsing of array

 	elements during compiling, and slightly optimised same [Bug: 3889]

 	* doc/tclvars.n: added definitions for tcl_(non)wordchars

 	* doc/vwait.n: added notes about requirement for vwait var being

 	globally scoped [Bug: 3329]

 	* library/word.tcl: changed tcl_(non)wordchars settings to use

 	new unicode regexp char class escapes instead of char sequences

 2000-01-14  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

 	* tests/var.test: Added a test for the array multiple delete

 	protection in Tcl_UnsetVar2.

 	* generic/tclVar.c: Added protection in Tcl_UnsetVar2 against

 	attempts to multiply delete arrays when unsetting them (bug

 	#3453).  This could happen if there was an unset trace on an array

 	element and the trace proc made a global or upvar link to the

 	array, and then the array was unset at the global level.  See the

 	bug reference for more information.

 	* unix/tclUnixTime.c: New clock format format.

 	* compat/strftime.c: New clock format format.

 	* generic/tclGetDate.y: New clock scan format.

 	* tests/cmdIL.test: Added tests for lsort -dictionary with

 	characters that occur between Z and a in ASCII.

 	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: Modified DictionaryCompare function (used by

 	lsort -dictionary) to do upper/lower case equivalency before doing

 	character comparisons, instead of after.  This fixes bug #1357, in

 	which lsort -dictionary [list ` AA c CC] and lsort -dictionary

 	[list AA c ` CC] gave different (and both wrong) results.

 	installing, as well as more intelligent setsockopt/gethostbyname

 	checks [Bug: 3366, 3389]

 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: added compile time support (through use of

 	the TCL_THREAD_STACK_MIN define) for increasing the default stack
