source: downloads/tcl8.5.2/ChangeLog.2001 @ 52

2001-12-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * library/init.tcl: make sure env(COMSPEC) on Windows is executed with
        the right case, as it may otherwise fail inexplicably.

2001-12-28  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCkalloc.c (MemoryCmd, TclFinalizeMemorySubsystem): Added
        the [memory onexit] command, intended to replace [checkmem].

        * doc/DumpActiveMemory.3:
        * doc/memory.n: Updated documentation for [memory] and related
        matters. [Bug 487677]

        * mac/tclMacBOAMain.c (Tcl_Main, CheckmemCmd): Removed all the
        machinery for the [checkmem] command that is completely duplicated by
        code in generic/tclCkalloc.c.

        * generic/tclBinary.c:
        * generic/tclListObj.c:
        * generic/tclObj.c:
        * generic/tclStringObj.c: Removed references to [checkmem] in
        comments, referencing [memory active] instead, since it is
        documented.

2001-12-28  Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>

        * mac/tclMacInit.c:
        * mac/tclMacTclCode.r: synced up tclInit features to unix/win:
        implemented TclSetPreInitScript support, use of existing tclInit proc
        if defined, check of default encoding dir if set. Changed script
        library resource names to lowercase (i.e. same as corresponding
        files). Used Tcl_JoinPath instead of string append. Check that system
        encoding could be loaded before utf translating the LibraryPath.
        * mac/tclMacApplication.r:
        * mac/tclMacLibrary.r:
        * mac/tclMacOSA.r:
        * mac/tclMacResource.r: minor version resources cleanup

2001-12-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_TCLCONFIG, SC_PATH_TKCONFIG):
        Search for config file using exec_prefix instead of prefix when no
        --with-tcl or --with-tk argument is used. [Bug 492418]

2001-12-21  Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/tcl.m4: fixed incorrect SHLIB_LD_LIBS setting for MacOSX /
        Darwin.
        * unix/configure: Regen.
        * unix/mkLinks.tcl: improved case-insensitive filesystem support.
        * unix/mkLinks: Regen.

2001-12-19  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/Makefile.in (dist): corrected use of eolFix.tcl on working
        files. It should operate on distributed files. [Bug 495120]

2001-12-19  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * tools/tcl.wse.in: Fix for [Bug 495120]. tcl.wse.in was stored in cvs
        with improper <eol>. This resulted in corrupted <eol> when checked-out
        on translating CVS clients such as windows (CRCRLF) and mac (CRCR).

2001-12-19  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/configure:
        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Update SunOS 5.[0-6] target so that
        correct linker options are passed to gcc or ld. [Tk Bug 220863]

2001-12-19  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/README: Update to account for changes in the unix/dltest
        directory, the way autoconf is run, and the new "make shell" target.

2001-12-19  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/Makefile.in: Rename dltest to dlpkgs to fix problem where lib
        files were not getting built because dltest/ directory already
        existed.

2001-12-19  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialCheckProc): corrected time calculations to
        be unsigned. (schroedter)

2001-12-18  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/Makefile.in: Define new dltest target that simply does a cd to
        dltest/ before running make. There is no need for the separate
        configure script that was previously being used.
        * unix/configure: Regen.
        * unix/configure.in: Subst into dltest/Makefile.
        * unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Define LIBS using DL_LIBS, LIBS, and
        MATH_LIBS variables instead of TCL_LIBS variable from tclConfig.sh.
        * unix/dltest/README: Update readme to account for new configure free
        implementation.
        * unix/dltest/configure: Removed.
        * unix/dltest/configure.in: Removed.

2001-12-18  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tcl.h (TCL_STUB_MAGIC): Added cast to force type to be an
        int and get rid of a persistent and pointless warning with SunPro
        compiler.

        * generic/tclCkalloc.c (Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc,Tcl_AttemptDbCkrealloc):
        * generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc,Tcl_AttemptDbCkrealloc):
        Made the file parameters to these functions into CONST char *, like
        they always should have been to match the other Tcl*Db* API functions.

2001-12-17  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Applied [Bug 219311] on behalf of Rolf Schroedter
        <schroedter@users.sourceforge.net> to prevent fcopy on serial ports
        from flooding the event queue.

2001-12-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/CrtInterp.3:
        * generic/tclBasic.c: docs and comments corrections. [Bug 493412]
        Bug & patch by Don Porter.

2001-12-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * win/tclWinNotify.c (Tcl_FinalizeNotifier): Stop Tcl on Windows from
        crashing when shutdown from a non-Tcl thread. Fixes [Bug 217982]
        [orig. 5804] reported by Hugh Vu and Gene Leache. I'm not convinced
        that the shutdown process is right even with this, but it was
        definitely wrong without...

2001-12-13  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * win/tclWinSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Fix for [Bug 478565] reported
        by an unknown person. Bypasses all calls to "gethostbyaddr" for
        address "0.0.0.0" to prevent delays on Win/NT.

2001-12-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * doc/Preserve.3: doc'd TCL_DYNAMIC use. [Patch 483989] (porter)

2001-12-12  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetsObj): Applied patch for [Bug 491341] as
        provided by Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>. Fixes the
        assumption of having an empty Tcl_Obj to work with.

2001-12-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCompCmds.c:
        * generic/tclCompile.c:
        * generic/tclExecute.c: consistency patch, to make all instructions
        that pop a variable number of Tcl_Obj's off the execution stack take
        the number of popped objects as first operand. Modified *only* the new
        instructions INST_LIST_INDEX_MULTI and INST_LSET_FLAT, so this has no
        effect on bytecodes generated up to tcl8.4a3 inclusive.

        * generic/tclExecute.c: fix debug messages in INST_LSET_LIST.

        * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileLindexCmd):
        * generic/tclCompExpr.c (CompileMathFuncCall): removed the last two
        overestimates of the necessary stack depth for bytecodes in the fix of
        [Bug 483611]

2001-12-10  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): Applied Don Porter's patch
        fixing [Bug 437489].

2001-12-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclEvent.c:
        * tests/event.test: fix background error reporting in the absence of a
        bgerror proc [Bug 219142].

2001-12-10  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/Access.3:
        * doc/CrtChannel.3:
        * doc/DString.3:
        * doc/ExprLong.3:
        * doc/FileSystem.3:
        * doc/GetStdChan.3:
        * doc/OpenFileChnl.3:
        * doc/StdChannels.3:
        * doc/TCL_MEM_DEBUG.3:
        * doc/Tcl_Main.3:
        * doc/Utf.3:
        * doc/file.n:
        * doc/tclsh.1:  Several typo and formatting corrections discovered
        during conversion to TMML. Thanks to Joe English. [Patch 490514]
        * unix/mkLinks: 'make mklinks'

2001-12-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCompCmds.c:
        * generic/tclCompExpr.c:
        * generic/tclCompile.c:
        * generic/tclCompile.h:
        * generic/tclExecute.c:
        * generic/tclProc.c: fixed the calculation of the maximal stack depth
        required by bytecodes. [Bug 483611]

2001-12-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclVar.c:
        * tests/trace.test: restored consistency in refCount accounting by
        array traces [Bug 4484339], submitted by Don Porter.

2001-12-06  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/parseExpr.test, tests/for.test, tests/expr.test:
        * tests/expr-old.test, tests/compile.test, tests/compExpr.test
        * tests/compExpr-old.test: Kept up to date with syntax errors.
        * generic/tclParseExpr.c (ParsePrimaryExpr): Rewrote to give even
        better syntax errors in the fairly common case of an identifier
        without decorations by guessing based on the currently available
        functions. Also made messages consistent between memdebug and ordinary
        builds.

2001-12-05  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclVar.c:
        * tests/trace.test: new algorithm for [array get], safe when there are
        traces that modify the array. [Bug 449893]

2001-12-04  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/compExpr-old.test, tests/compExpr.test, tests/compile.test:
        * tests/expr-old.test, tests/expr.test, tests/for.test:
        * tests/while.test, tests/if.test: Rewrite to handle more specific
        syntax errors.
        * tests/parseExpr.test: Rewrite to get rid of dup test numbers and
        handle more specific syntax errors.
        * generic/tclParseExpr.c (LogSyntaxError): Added a detail message
        argument to help explain what the syntax error is.
        (Tcl_ParseExpr, ParseCondExpr, ParsePrimaryExpr): Added detail
        messages.
        (UNKNOWN_CHAR): New lexeme for characters that are always illegal in
        expressions outside strings.

2001-12-03  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * doc/expr.n: Various documentation improvements in relation to the
        function calls. Includes fix for [Bug 487704] submitted by Devin Eyre.

2001-12-03  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * win/makefile.vc: Some install target bugs repaired along with
        $(TCLSTUBLIB) added to the dependencies rather than implicit through
        the dde and reg extensions which don't happen to always require it for
        some build types.

2001-11-30  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclVar.c: Tcl_Preserve'ing VarTrace structures to avoid
        memory corruption. Patch for [Bug 484334] provided by Don Porter

2001-11-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/namespace.test: modified namespace-41.2, added 41.3
        {knownbug} after discussion with Don Porter and Kevin Kenny.

2001-11-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/namespace.test: added namespace-41.2, a simpler test for
        [Bug 231259]

2001-11-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tclBinary.c (BINARY_SCAN_MAX_CACHE, Tcl_BinaryObjCmd,
        (ScanNumber): Added caching scheme to reduce number of object
        allocations when doing scans of large repetitive binary strings. See
        comments in file for reasoning behind implementation. Suggested by
        Miguel Sofer in [Patch 429916], but independently implemented.

2001-11-28  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * doc/regsub.n, doc/regexp.n: Converted dangling references to
        METASYNTAX section into references to the re_syntax manual page.

2001-11-27  D. Richard Hipp   <drh@hwaci.com>

        * win/tclWinFCmd.c: Fix a coredump in the filename normalizer code for
        Win95/98.

2001-11-27  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * win/makefile.vc: Removed the Tk reference for the 'winhelp' target.
        Converge at install will need to be the solution for Tk and all other
        extensions.

2001-11-27  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-24.2): Made test less sensitive to OS
        preemption, but perfection isn't practical. [Bug 463189, reported by
        Don Porter]

        * tests/switch.test (switch-9.*): Added tests to exercise more of the
        argument checking.  (switch-7.2,switch-7.3): Test changed behaviour
        slightly.
        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Reworked argument parsing to
        be stricter about what it accepts. This should make uses of the
        [switch] command be more maintainable. [Bug 475397, reported by Don
        Porter]

2001-11-26  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: 'make genstubs' after changes in
        2001-11-23 commit from Daniel Steffen.

2001-11-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/Makefile.in: Add comments to better describe TCL_EXE and when
        it should be available.
        * win/Makefile.in: Add TCL_EXE variable to be used by rules like `make
        genstubs`. Don't set TCL_LIBRARY before running `make genstubs` since
        we will be running with a tclsh from the PATH not the one we build.

2001-11-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * win/configure: Regen.
        * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add comctl32.lib to wish link libs.
        This change was originally added to Tk on 2001-11-09 but was not
        committed to Tcl.

2001-11-23  Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/Makefile.in:
        * unix/configure.in:
        * unix/install-sh:
        * unix/mkLinks:
        * unix/mkLinks.tcl:
        * unix/tclLoadDyld.c:
        * unix/tclMtherr.c: Mac OSX support: build system, dynamic code loading
        and support for case-insensitive filesystems in mkLinks. [Patch 435258]

2001-11-23  Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>

        Up-port to 8.4 of mac code changes for 8.3.3 & various new changes for
        8.4, some already backported to 8.3.4. [Patch 435658]

        * generic/tclObj.c: added #include to fix missing prototype errors

        * generic/tcl.h: MAC_TCL: addition of ConditionalMacros.h and use of
        DLLIMPORT and DLLEXPORT like on other platforms. ( => no longer need
        the .exp files and can remove use of #pragma export that never worked
        well)
        removed line continuation in #if clause as this breaks the mac
        resource compiler (note that *.r files include tcl.h)

        * mac/tclMacFile.c: fixed bug in permission checking code

        * mac/tclMacLoad.c: corrected utf8 handling, comparison of package
        names to code fragment names changed to only match on the length of
        package name, this allows for fragment names with version numbers
        appended.

        * mac/tclMacInt.h:
        * generic/tclInt.h:
        * mac/tclMacTime.c:
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c: moved declaration of TclpGetGMTOffset()

        * mac/tclMacShLib.exp:
        * mac/tclMacOSA.exp:
        * mac/tclMacMSLPrefix.h: removed files

        * unix/Makefile.in: removed reference to .exp files

        * mac/MW_TclBuildLibHeader.h:
        * mac/MW_TclBuildLibHeader.pch:
        * mac/MW_TclHeaderCommon.h:
        * mac/MW_TclStaticHeader.h:
        * mac/MW_TclStaticHeader.pch: new precompiled header files

        * mac/MW_TclAppleScriptHeader.pch:
        * mac/MW_TclHeader.pch:
        * mac/MW_TclTestHeader.pch:
        * mac/tclMacCommonPch.h: revised precompiled header handling: now
        include a common header file 'MW_TclHeaderCommon.h' from all .pch
        files, the .pch files themselves now only setup #defines (e.g.
        BUILD_tcl, STATIC_BUILD, TCL_DEBUG, TCL_THREADS) like in makefiles on
        other platforms.

        * mac/tclMac.h:
        * mac/tclMacPort.h:
        * mac/tclMacInt.h: use of BUILD_tcl and TCL_STORAGE_CLASS like on other
        platforms, standardize #include'd files to what's done on other
        platforms, removed use of #pragma export.

        * mac/tcltkMacBuildSupport.sea.hqx: new archive of mac build support
        files & suggested build environment directory hierarchy:
        'Building MacTclTk' & 'CW Pro6 changes' readme's.
        projects for MoreFiles 1.5.2 static & shared libraries.
        project & sources for 'pseudoCarbonSupport', see below.
        included XML versions of the projects for CW Pro5 or Pro7 users.

        * mac/tclMacProjects.sea.hqx: updated mac build project files:
        build support for CodeWarrior Pro6, UnivIntf 3.4 & shared runtime
        libraries: the MSL libraries and MoreFiles are no longer compiled into
        Tcl.shlb, all non-static binaries now use the Pro6 shared runtime
        libraries and MoreFiles.shlb.  These shlbs are merged into the standard
        Wish and TclShell, but 3rd party applications linking with Tcl.shlb or
        Tk.shlb need to setup access to them.  (see the "(sh-ppc)" targets
        for how to do this.)
        included XML versions of the projects for CW Pro5 or Pro7 users.
        use compat/strtod.c instead of MSL's strtod()
        use WASTE versions of MSL for tcl test target to avoid text buffer
        cutoff at 32k.
        Merging the full MSL.shlb and the other shlbs into Wish & TclShell
        makes them a bit larger than before, use unmerged binaries to avoid
        copying the shared code with every application, e.g. when deploying
        numerous Wish based droplets.
        Note that using CW Pro5 to compile extensions is in principle still
        possible, but need to link with Pro6 runtime libraries.
        Tclapplescript now loads and runs on CFM68k.
        Highly experimental "pseudoCarbon" support for Tcl only on OS 8/9:
        binaries in "Build:(Carbon):" link against CarbonLib instead of
        InterfaceLib, however the actual code has not been carbonized! i.e. it
        will not run on OSX and may not even run properly with CarbonLib.
        This should in principle allow you to build & test OS9 CFM Carbon
        binaries that need to link with Tcl.shlb. On OSX you can use the
        native Tcl.framework, but you have to build a MachO binary as there
        is no CFM glue lib for Tcl.framework.
        the library pseudoCarbonSupport.shlb manually loads the symbols from
        InterfaceLib that are not in CarbonLib but are needed by the
        uncarbonized code in Tcl.shlb and TclShell.

        * generic/tclMain.c: MAC_TCL: workaround for broken/non-standard isatty
        on MW Pro6, #include <unistd.h> instead of defining isatty

        * mac/tclMacPort.h: MW Pro6 changes for MSL fcntl.h, stat.h & isatty

        * mac/tclMacAppInit.c: add EXTERN to InstallConsole to enable DLL
        export via the TCL_STORAGE_CLASS mechanism.

        * mac/tclMacFCmd.c: fix for FSpDirectoryCopy API change

        * mac/tclMacLibrary.c: emit compile time error when
        TCL_REGISTER_LIBRARY and USE_TCL_STUBS are both defined at the same
        time in an extension, this use is not currently supported and will
        result in a crash when dynamically loading the extension.

        * mac/tclMacApplication.r:
        * mac/tclMacLibrary.r:
        * mac/tclMacOSA.r:
        * mac/tclMacResource.r: fixed obsolete copyrights/dates in version
        strings; updated version strings to standard usage; added support for
        '(Support Libraries)' subfolder for shared runtime libraries in
        unmerged binaries; commented out demo setting of "Tcl Environment
        Variables"; reorganized resources among these files to avoid multiple
        copies in applications and shared libraries, the script libraries are
        now no longer duplicated in Tclsh but are only included in the
        resources of Tcl.shlb.

        * mac/tclMacChan.c:
        * mac/tclMacSock.c: cast for *BlockMode

        * mac/tclMacUtil.c:
        * mac/tclMacMath.h: removed obsolete hypot() definition

        * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
        * generic/tclInt.decls:
        * generic/tclStubInit.c:
        * mac/tclMacNotify.c:
        * mac/tclMacOSA.c:
        * mac/tclMacUtil.c:
        * generic/tclThreadTest.c: renamed routines conflicting with standard
        Apple or MoreFiles headers (at compile or link time):
        GetGlobalMouse         -> GetGlobalMouseTcl
        FSpGetDirectoryID      -> FSpGetDirectoryIDTcl
        FSpOpenResFileCompat   -> FSpOpenResFileCompatTcl
        FSpCreateResFileCompat -> FSpCreateResFileCompatTcl
        NewThread              -> NewTestThread
        the renamed MoreFiles *Tcl routines are just wrappers calling into the
        MoreFiles DLL.

        * mac/tclMacCommonPch.h:
        * mac/tclMacThrd.c:
        * mac/tclMacPanic.c: removed OLDROUTINENAMES define, renamed obsolete
        apple API names to modern equivalents; UH3.4 support: added #include
        <ControlDefinitions.h>, updated New*Proc() calls to New*UPP().

        * mac/tclMacUnix.c: added missing (Tcl_Obj ***) cast to
        Tcl_ListObjGetElements call

        * mac/tclMacAlloc.c: modernized TclpSysAlloc() to use temporary memory
        instead of system heap memory when available (MacOS >= 7.5 and
        possibly earlier, use of system heap has been discouraged for a long
        time and has many disadvantages, e.g. memory isn't paged out, and
        errors can very easily bring the system down); fixed crashing bug in
        TclpSysRealloc() and CleanUpExitProc() where memory was being accessed
        after having been deallocated; fixed memory leak in (de)allocation
        code (for every block ever allocated with TclpSysAlloc, a Ptr was
        leaked), if temporary memory is available, don't track allocated
        memory, instead use RecoverHandle() to get Handle from Ptr, otherwise
        use doubly linked list to correctly track memory and free all
        allocated memory; added new option for ConfigureMemory:
        MEMORY_DONT_USE_TEMPMEM, disables use of temporary memory even when it
        would be available, only necessary when writing e.g. a driver (using
        tcl??); increased fraction of application heap reserved for OS
        routines to 512K

        * compat/strftime.c:
        * mac/tclMacTime.c:
        * mac/tclMacPort.h:
        * generic/tclInt.decls:
        * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
        * generic/tclStubInit.c: timezone support for mac via TclpGetTZName()
        like on windows, using an inverse timezone table adapted from
        tclDate.c to map gmtoffset in seconds gotten from the MacOS APIs to a
        timezone string, as there is no good way to get this info from MacOS.
        I had to make up some unusual timezones and arbitrarily decide on the
        most standard of the multiple choices available for every timezone.

        * generic/tclExecute.c: workaround for a MSL bug/misfeature: for very
        small floats, MSL can return errno ERANGE but a non-zero value (<
        LDBL_MIN however)

        * mac/tclMacAppInit.c: support for WASTE text library using temporary
        memory, setting has no effect if WASTE is not used.

        * mac/tclMacPanic.c: removed duplicate code from generic/tclPanic.c
        and added that file to projects instead.

        * tests/all.tcl: set tcltest::singleProcess 1 as multiple processes
        are not available on the mac.

        * tests/cmdAH.test: access time not available on the mac, skip the
        atime touch test

        * tests/appendComp.test:
        * tests/cmdMZ.test:
        * tests/compile.test:

        * tests/fileName.test:
        * tests/lset.test:
        * tests/namespace.test:
        * tests/tcltest.test: added missing cleanups/tests/catches that caused
        tests to fail on the mac.

        * doc/tclvars.n: doc bug, env(PWD) should be env(HOME) [Bug 463834]

2001-11-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/trace.test (trace-8.8): Corrected test for Bug 219393.

        * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken,CallCommandTraces):
        * generic/tclCmdMZ>c (Tcl_UntraceCommand):  Added Tcl_Preserve and
        Tcl_Release calls to prevent deletion of CommandTrace structures until
        all callers are done using them, preventing memory corruption. [Bug
        453805]

        Changed all uses of TclpGetTime to Tcl_GetTime. Added Tcl_GetTime to
        the Stubs table and the library documentation. Added a TclpGetTime in
        tclUtil.c for backward compatibility of extensions. [Patch 483500,
        TIP#73]

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TimeObjCmd): Corrected an error in the
        [time] command that caused incorrect results to be returned if the
        total duration of all iterations exceeded 2**31 microseconds. [Bug
        478847]

        * generic/tclBasic.c
        * generic/tclCompile.h:
        * generic/tclExecute.c: moving all code relative to bytecodes from
        tclBasic.c to tclExecute.c - the functions RecordTracebackInfo and
        Tcl_ExprObj went to tclExecute.c, and new interface function was
        defined (TclCompEvalObj).
        The final objective of this sequence of moves is to provide a clean,
        clear-cut interface between Tcl's core and the compiler/engine
        subsystem.

2001-11-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclBasic.c
        * generic/tclCompile.h:
        * generic/tclExecute.c: factoring out of common code in tclBasic.c
        (new function TclInterpReady defined: it resets the interp's result,
        then checks that it hasn't been deleted and that the nesting level is
        acceptable). Passed the responsibility of calling it to the *callers*
        of TclEvalObjvInternal.

2001-11-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclBasic.c
        * generic/tclExecute.c: a better variant of the previous-to-last
        commit (restoring numLevels computations). The managing of the levels
        now has to be done by the *callers* of TclEvalObjvInternal

2001-11-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c: missing variable declaration under
        TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG.

2001-11-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c:
        * generic/tclProc.c: restoring the computations of iPtr->numLevels to
        the original logic (previous to buggy modifs on 2001-11-16).

2001-11-20  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * tools/eolFix.tcl (new-file):
        * unix/Makefile.in: added EOL correction for Windows bat files to
        dist target. [Bug 219409] (davygrvy)

        * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): update of patch from
        2001-11-16 that uses the old Tcl encoding check mechanism as a
        fallback to the original. Also added a TCL_DEFAULT_ENCODING #define
        (defaults to iso8859-1). Tcl will first try setlocale and nl_langinfo,
        and if that fails, guess based on certain LANG|LC_* env vars. [Patch
        418645]

2001-11-19  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * win/buildall.vc.bat:  Added useful comments.

2001-11-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/compile.test: added a test for bug [Bug 483309]

2001-11-19  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * win/tclWinFile.c:
        * win/tclWinFCmd.c:
        * win/tclWin32Dll.c:
        * doc/file.n:
        * tests/winFCmd.test: improved speed of file normalization for
        Win95/98, and clarified docs on differences in file normalization
        between NT/2000 and the older operating systems. Added test to ensure
        normalization is correct.

2001-11-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclBasic.c:
        * generic/tclParse.c: Code reorganisation. Moved all evaluation
        functions from tclParse.c to tclBasic.c, so that now tclParse.c deals
        exclusively with parsing and all evaluations are done by code in
        tclBasic.c. The functions moved are: TclEvalObjvInternal,
        Tcl_EvalObjv, Tcl_LogCommandInfo, Tcl_EvalTokensStandard,
        Tcl_EvalTokens, Tcl_EvalEx, Tcl_Eval, Tcl_EvalObj and
        Tcl_GlobalEvalObj.

2001-11-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/trace.test (trace-8.8): Added adapted version of [Bug 219393]
        as new test; the test won't reliably show up the old problem unless it
        is being run under something like Purify, but something is better than
        nothing...

        * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_TraceVar2, Tcl_UntraceVar2): Added missing
        mask bits for trace result type and a check for a nonsense flag
        combination.
        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceVarProc): Added missing test for NULL when
        deleting a trace that doesn't cause an error.

        * doc/TraceVar.3: Added documentation for change due to TIP#68.

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceVarInfo): Removed problematic errMsg field
        from structure.
        (TraceVarProc): Removed references to errMsg field and changed
        handling of errors so that they returned a Tcl_Obj* containing the
        error string. This minimizes the number of calls to the memory
        management subsystem.
        (TclTraceCommandObjCmd, TraceCommandProc): Removed references to
        errMsg field which was never used in command traces in any case.
        (Tcl_TraceObjCmd, TclTraceVariableObjCmd): Removed references to
        errMsg field and made variable traces register with
        TCL_TRACE_RESULT_OBJECT bit set.

        * generic/tcl.h (TCL_TRACE_RESULT_DYNAMIC,TCL_TRACE_RESULT_OBJECT):
        New constants to define how to handle the strings returned from trace
        callbacks [TIP#68]
        * generic/tclVar.c (CallTraces, Tcl_GetVar2Ex, TclGetIndexedScalar,
        (TclGetElementOfIndexedArray, Tcl_SetVar2Ex, TclSetIndexedScalar,
        (TclSetElementOfIndexedArray, Tcl_UnsetVar2, Tcl_ArrayObjCmd,
        (TclDeleteVars, TclDeleteCompiledLocalVars, DeleteArray,
        (TclVarTraceExists): Support for those new trace flags.

2001-11-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

2001-11-16  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclListObj.c: removed a C++-style comment that was

2001-11-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * tests/interp.test:
        * generic/tclInterp.c (SlaveObjCmd): Corrected argument checking for
        '$interp alias|aliases|issafe'. [Patch 479560] (thoyts, hobbs)

        * unix/tclUnixInit.c: added HAVE_LANGINFO code block.
        * unix/configure: regened
        * unix/configure.in: added SC_ENABLE_LANGINFO call
        * unix/tcl.m4: made SHLIB_LD_LIBS='${LIBS}' for FreeBSD* (meyer)
        Added modified version of Wagner patch to make use of nl_langinfo
        where possible to determine Unix platform encoding, instead of the
        inflexible built-in system. This is used by default when possible, and
        can be disabled with --enable-langinfo=no. [Patch 418645] (hobbs,
        wagner)

        * generic/tclCompile.h:
        * generic/tclExecute.c:
        * generic/tclObj.c: moved Tcl_GetCommandFromObj and all defining code
        for tclCmdNameType objects to tclObj.c (from tclExecute.c). This code
        has nothing to do with bytecodes.

        * generic/tclParse.c:
        * generic/tclProc.c:
        * tests/stack.test: consolidation of duplicated code (in
        TclExecuteByteCode and EvalObjv); renaming of EvalObjv to TclEvalObjv
        as it is not static anymore; restored consistency of level counts
        between compiled and directly evaled code. [Bug 480896]

        * win/makefile.vc:

        * win/buildall.vc.bat(new):

2001-11-10  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * win/makefile.vc:  Added a check to make sure one runs the makefile

2001-11-09  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * win/makefile.vc:
        * win/tcl.dsp:  winhelp target fixes for non-NT systems. It seems
        NMAKE under these remembers changed directories during commands. A new
        tcltest feature from Peter Spjuth <peter.spjuth@space.se> to specify a
        pattern file from the commandline and redirecting output to a file
        when not under NT with it's scrollback console. Then it replays it,
        piped through more. Added 2 new static "configurations" to tcl.dsp.
        I could keep adding more, but I think we should leave it up to the
        user for customizing it.

        Sticky-points left:  'profile' option.

2001-11-08  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/Makefile.in:
        * unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Avoid adding libc to the LIBS variable
        since it is not needed when linking with CC. If required when linking
        with LD it should be done on a case by case basis in tcl.m4.

2001-11-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * win/rules.vc:
        * win/makefile.vc:  Fixed install target to adjust for the different
        build types. Added a 'linkexten' option to link the win extensions
        inside the shell when built static. Placed win/tclAppInit.c patch in
        SF patch DB for approval. 'profile' option not hooked in yet.
        Everything else know is done.

        * win/tcl.dsp(new):
        * win/tcl.dsw(new):  Simple MsDev stub project files that calls

        confusing MsDev for where the .pdb files are.

2001-11-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/Makefile.in:

        We can't regenerate automatically since there may be no tclsh on the
        system and that would cause bootstrap problems. [Bug 465874]

2001-11-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC in tclConfig.sh. It should be included by
        extensions that need to find Tcl include headers in the install
        location. The user can override the include install dir with
        --includedir so we need to record this information for extensions.
        [Bug 421835]

        * unix/configure: Regen.
        * unix/configure.in: Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC.

2001-11-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * win/rules.vc:
        * win/makefile.vc: Dropped the NOMSVCRT macro and put it on the option
        list instead. It makes more sense to me this way as NOMSVCRT=0 would
        only be the valid setting. Fixed the dde and reg extension for
        building static. Improved, but not perfected, the winhelp target.

2001-11-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * win/README: Change minimum VC++ version to 5.X since 4.X is known
        not to work.
        Indicate that Mingw is required and building with Cygwin gcc is not
        supported. Include instructions that indicate how to install Mingw and
        what URLs folks should use to download the supported version of Mingw.
        * win/configure: Regen.
        * win/configure.in: Error out if user tries to compile the Windows
        version of Tcl with Cygwin gcc. Users should compile with Mingw gcc
        instead.

2001-11-06  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net> 

        * generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Fixed [Bug 478856] reported by Stuart
        Cassoff <stwo@users.sourceforge.net>. The bug caused loss of
        fileevents when [read]ing less data from the channel than buffered.
        Due to an empty input buffer the flag CHANNEL_NEED_MORE_DATA was set
        but never reset, causing the I/O system to wait for more data instead
        of using a timer to synthesize fileevents and to flush the pending
        data out of the buffers.

2001-11-06  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * win/rules.vc (new):
        * win/makefile.vc:  Complete over/under rewrite to support numerous
        build options all from the commandline itself without needing to edit
        the makefile. Now requires vcvars32.bat to be run prior to running
        nmake for bootstraping the environment. Fully doc'd usage for it is in
        makefile.vc. Commentary welcome. Sticky points left are:

        1) winhelp target shows errors in the converting script.
        2) .rc scripts aren't getting the right #defines to build the correct
           "OriginalFilename" strings. (have patch, won't commit yet)
        3) Naming convention with suffixes describing the buildtype are 'tsdx'
           which will need public acceptance. ie. tclsh84tsx.exe is a (t)
           threaded shell (s) statically linked to the core and (x) uses
           msvcrt instead of libcmt.

2001-11-04  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * library/init.tcl: made filesystem fallback proc ::tcl::CopyDirectory
        more robust to vagaries of non-native filesystems.

2001-11-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/file.n:
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c: updated documentation and comments to clarify
        behaviour of 'file copy' wrt soft links.

2001-10-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * win/tclWinFile.c: fix to '-types {f r}' bug in TclpMatchInDirectory
        (which could cause a UMR, as well as returning wrong results). Also
        improved API for 'stat' to resolve [Bug 219258].
        * win/tclWin32Dll.c
        * win/tclWinInt.h: addition of improved stat API to internal lookup
        table.
        * tests/fileName.test: two new tests for the above bug.
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c: some cleanup of comments and #ifdefs

2001-10-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * unix/tclUnixFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): Argument to access() was
        entryPtr->d_name instead of nativeEntry which failed when trying to
        check access for files in other than the current directory. [Bug
        475941, reported by Georgios Petasis]

2001-10-25  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * unix/tclUnixChan.c: Added stateUpdated member to struct TtyState.
        (TtyCloseProc,TtySetOptionProc,TtyInit): Use stateUpdated member of
        TtyState to decide whether it is necessary to reset a serial port when
        Tcl closes it. Blindly resetting can cause Tcl to be sent an
        unexpected SIGTSTP when it is executing in the background [Bug 471374,
        reported by Chris Nelson]

2001-10-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        in clock scan with relative months and years during swing hours. [Bug

        tclkit builds.

2001-10-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * unix/tclUnixPipe.c (PipeInputProc, PipeOutputProc): do immediate

2001-10-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * unix/tclLoadAout.c (TclGuessPackageName): removed unused vars and
        fixed warnings. [Bug 446622] (lim)

2001-10-15  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclProc.c: changing a memcmp to strncmp to avoid a memory
        error detected by purify (thanks Jeff); modify style to agrre with the
        style guide.

2001-10-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclInt.decls (TclExpandCodeArray,TclGetInstructionTable):
        Added to internal stubs table. Tclcompiler (Tclpro project) needs them
        if used as loadable package under Windows. Changed signatures. We
        don't want to describe compiler internal structures in "tclInt.h".

        * generic/tclCompile.h: S.a. Removed function declarations.
        * generic/tclCompile.c: S.a. Adapted to changed signatures.

        * library/encoding/tis-620.enc:
        * tools/encoding/tis-620.txt: TIS-620 charset mapping.

        * tests/http.test: added removeFile for outdata

        * tests/ioCmd.test: added catch around file removal, as Windows file

2001-10-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/compile.test: new tests for [Bug 467523]; they are only
        effective if TCL_MEM_DEBUG was set during compilation.

2001-10-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): insured that
        self-referential bytecodes are properly cleaned up on interpreter
        deletion [Bug 467523] (Ronnie Brunner)

2001-10-10  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * win/tclWinPort.h:  #include <winsock2.h> needed to get moved to
        after #include <windows.h> or wierd misunderstandings took place when
        -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0400 is set for outside code that requires knowledge
        of Tcl innards. General header macro magic applied liberally...

2001-10-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/unixInit.test:  Corrected restore of ::env(LANG).

2001-10-09  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_SplitPath): corrected mem leak intro'd
        with VFS code where the result obj from Tcl_FSSplitPath was not
        getting freed.

2001-10-09  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclLiteral.c: (TclReleaseLiteral) reverted previous patch

        translations now (like symbols, dingbats and japanese). Also does not
        include big5, gb or euc* as those have different formats in the latest
        Unicode version that need new conversion tools. Not all related .enc
        files changed as some had been updates separately.

2001-10-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_FinalizeThread): moved freeing of

2001-09-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

2001-09-26  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/fileevent.n: Accepted [Patch 465279] adding an example to the
        fileevent manpage. Minor modifications to get a better formatting.
        Report and patch by David N. Welton <davidw@users.sourceforge.net>.

        * The changes below fix [Bug 462317] where Expect tried to read more
        than was in the buffers and then blocked in the OS call as its pty
        channel driver provides no blockmodeproc through which the OS could be
        notified of blocking-behaviour. Because of this the general I/O core
        has to take more care than usual to preserve the semantics of
        non-blocking channels.

        The problem was reported by "Kevin O'Gorman" <kevin@kosmanor.com>.

        * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ReadRaw): Do not read from the driver if the
        channel is non-blocking and the fileevent causing the read was
        generated by a timer. We do not know if there is data available from
        the OS. Instead of going to the OS for more and potentially blocking
        we simply signal EWOULDBLOCK to the higher levels to cause the system
        to wait for true fileevents.
        (GetInput): Same as before.
        (ChannelTimerProc): Added set and clear of CHANNEL_TIMER_FEV.

        * generic/tclIO.h (CHANNEL_TIMER_FEV): New flag for channels. Is set
        if a fileevent was generated by a timer, the channel is not blocking
        and the driver did not provide a blockmodeproc. In that case the I/O
        core has to be especially careful about going to the driver for more
        data.

2001-09-24  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        The change below fixes [Bug 464380]. The bug was reported by Ronnie
        Brunner <rbrunner@users.sourceforge.net>. He also provided the patch.

        * generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Moved release of 'tclLibraryPath'
        to Tcl_FinalizeThread.
        (Tcl_FinalizeThread): See above, new place for release of
        'tclLibraryPath'.

2001-09-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tools/encoding/cp1252.txt: File was missing part of the encoding
        [euro, ZCaron and zcaron].

        * doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Add docs for Tcl_OutputBuffered; remove some old
        changebars.

2001-09-21  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): corrected INST_STR_CMP
        else case for strings to pass true utf char length to Tcl_UtfNCmp.

2001-09-20  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * win/tclWinInit.c: added extra processor definitions. (mstacy)

        * win/tclWinSock.c (SocketThread): corrected pointer cast for _WIN64.

        * win/tclWinNotify.c: removed unnecessary winsock include (it is
        already in from tclWinPort.h).

        * win/tclWinPort.h: changed winsock.h include to winsock2.h. Reverses
        change from 2000-11-16, but is necessary for WIN64. Extensions should
        comply with defined OS words, or use #ifndef.

2001-09-20  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/socket.test: removed dependence on being run from same dir as
        remote.tcl, which only now needs to be in the same dir as this file.
        [Bug 219326]

2001-09-19  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclTest.c (TestcmdtokenCmd): corrected pointer
        storage/retrieval for 64bit machines.

        * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd):
        * generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): corrected handling of format and
        scan on 64-bit machines. [Bug 412696] (rmax)

        * unix/configure: regen'ed
        * unix/tcl.m4: added --enable-64bit support for HP-11 with the 64-bit
        kernel.

        * tests/basic.test:
        * tests/cmdInfo.test: improved skip reporting of missing commands

        * tests/winFCmd.test: simplified error check for winFCmd-7.9

        * tests/winPipe.test: removed obsolete cat16 tests

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): fixed invalid usage of
        valuePtr in TRACE_WITH_OBJ in INST_EVAL_STK case. [Bug 462594] Changed
        INST_STR_CMP instruction to promote to Unicode strings only when one
        of the strings is already of Unicode type.

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode):
        * generic/tclCompile.c (instructionTable):
        * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): INST_STR_MATCH -
        Updated to Int1 instruction type and added special case to use
        INST_STR_EQ instead when no glob chars are specified in a static
        string.

        * tests/{for.test,foreach.test,if.test,while.test}:
        * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileForCmd, TclCompileForeachCmd,
        TclCompileIfCmd, TclCompileWhileCmd): Corrected the overaggressive
        compiling of loop bodies enclosed in ""s.  [Bug 219166] (msofer)

2001-09-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c: insured that execution stack errors are also
        detected at abnormal returns.

2001-09-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * doc/socket.n: Added documentation to mention what happens when a
        server socket is created with port=0. Removed an old change bar, and
        no new change bar because Tcl has always behaved this way as it is
        really a poorly-documented standards-defined OS feature.

        * tests/util.test (util-8.1): Test derived from code to detect the
        problem, but the test always works in the C locale, so beware if you
        are maintaining the code.
        * generic/tclUtil.c (TclNeedSpace): Rewrote to be UTF-8 aware. [Bug
        411825, but not that patch which would have added extra spaces if
        there was a real non-ASCII space involved.]

2001-09-18 Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_PutsObjCmd): Rewritten to have saner and
        faster argument handling. [Bug 123552], [Patch 402564] (fellows)

2001-09-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/configure: Regen.
        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): On Linux, disable inlining when one
        of the compat/*.c routines is to be linked in. [Patch 440891]

2001-09-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tcl.h: removed forced #define USE_TCLALLOC 1 for Windows.
        This means the native system allocator will be used by default. This
        should be binary and source compatible with extensions, as Tcl_Alloc
        is a properly stubbed function.

2001-09-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c: corrected small bug in [Patch 456668] - the
        varFramePtr was not restored in one possible exit.

        * tests/regexp.test (regexp-20.1):
        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): had to adjust fix from
        2001-08-06 to actually duplicate the objects in certain cases. This is
        really a place where feather would have been essential. [Bug 461322]

        * generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UtfPrev): corrected to return the proper
        location when the middle of a UTF-8 byte was passed in [Tk Bug 450504]

        * ChangeLog.1999:
        * ChangeLog: broke changes from 199x into ChangeLog.1999 to reduce
        size of the main ChangeLog.

2001-09-13  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/ioCmd.test: Changed the computation of the result for
        iocmd-8.1[123] so that the tests work for single- and multi-process
        execution of the testsuite. Depending on the choice of the user stdout
        is a tty or not and thus reports different channel options. Fixes
        [460993] reported by Don Porter.

        * generic/tclStubInit.c:
        * tests/parse.test: Deprecate the use of Tcl_EvalTokens, replaced by
        the new Tcl_EvalTokensStandard. The new function performs the same
        duties but adheres to the standard return convention for Tcl
        evaluations; the deprecated function could only return TCL_OK or
        TCL_ERROR, which caused [Bug 219384] and [Bug 455151]. This patch
        implements [TIP 56].

2001-09-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/configure: Regen.
        * unix/tcl.m4: Invert the logic that checks for $GCC. Instead of
        checking for "$GCC" = "no" we check for "$GCC" != "yes" or simply swap
        the true and false blocks of code in an if statement. That way if GCC
        is set to "" everything will still work. [Bug 460991]

2001-09-11  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Added documentation for Tcl_WriteRaw and
        Tcl_ReadRaw [Bug 414929].

        * doc/CrtChannel.3: Added documentation for Tcl_ChannelBuffered and
        Tcl_GetTopChannel [Bug 414929].

        * The changes below are a fix for [Bug 219253].

        * tests/socket.test: Removed _most_ instances of hardwired port
        numbers for listening sockets. Remaining are the ports in all tests
        with constraint 'doTestsWithRemoteServer'. These seem to be designed
        for a more controlled environment and are usually skipped when running
        the testsuite.

        * tests/io.test: Removed all instances of hardwired port numbers for
        listening sockets.

2001-09-10  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * unix/tclLoadShl.c:  Added #include of tclInt.h; access to Tcl
        internals, notably TclpUnloadFile(), is required. Thanks to Bob
        Techentin for report and patch. [Bug 459305]

        * generic/tclInitScript.h (initScript):

2001-09-10  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclInt.decls: Also added 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels' to the
          internal platform specific stub table.

        * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjStat): Now added the call to
        'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels' to this function. I don't know where my
        head was last thursday (2001-09-06), but the call was actually added
        to 'TclpObjChdir', i.e. the implementation of [cd]. Corrected this
        now. Thanks to Vince Darley for spotting this.

        stuff. [Patch 436116]

2001-09-09  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclFCmd.c:
        * doc/FileSystem.3:
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed Tcl_FSCopyFile fallback to channel
        copying, since the channels will not have access to interpreters and
        the channel copying currently requires an interp. Code which required
        cross-platform copies always has interpreters, so that solves the
        problem. Fixes bug in TclKit.

2001-09-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * win/tcl.m4: Added -link50compat option so a VC6 linker makes a VC5
        (pre sp3) compatible import library. [Bug 219257]

2001-09-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpThreadExit): Cast status argument to
        _endthreadex to unsigned instead of DWORD to match the Win32 function
        prototype.

2001-09-06  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * All the changes below serve to fix bug [219148] which reports a 80x
        performance hit for file I/O on Win* systems. On my system it was
        closer to a 120x hit. Problem report by Uwe Traum <no email address
        available>.

        The fix goes like this: The obstacle is 'FlushFileBuffers', executed
        whenever Tcl writes data to the OS, as Tcl has to wait for the disk to
        complete I/O, and disks are slow. We remove that obstacle. This opens
        another problem, [file size] reports back wrong numbers. So for [file
        size] we add the call back in. As optimization we keep track of the
        channels which were written to and flush only these.

        * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjStat): Added a call to
        'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels'. This ensures that [file size] and related
        commands report the correct size of a file even if Tcl has recently
        written to it. Unixoid OS's always report the correct size even for
        files with pending data, but Win* syssystem don't. They only report
        what is actually on disk.

        * win/tclWinInt.h: Added declaration of 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels',
        making it available to other parts of the tcl core.

        * win/tclWinChan.c (TclWinFlushDirtyChannels): New, internal,
        procedure. Goes through the list of open file channels and forces the
        OS to flush its file buffers for all which were written to since the
        last call of this function. This is an expensive operation as Tcl has
        to wait for the OS to complete actual writes to the disk.

        (FileInfo): Added dirty flag required by the procedure above.

        (FileOutputProc): Removed flushing of file buffers, setting the dirty
        flag instead. This means that the previously incurred delays do not
        happen anymore.

        (TclWinOpenFileChannel): Added initialization of 'dirty' flag.

2001-09-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * doc/http.n: noted -binary, charset and coding state keys.
        * tests/http.test:
        * library/http/pkgIndex.tcl:
        * library/http/http.tcl (geturl): correctly get charset parameter
        and convert text according to specified encoding (if known). RFC
        iso8859-1 is used by default. Also recognize Content-encoding to see
        if we should do binary translation. Added a CYA -binary switch for the
        cases that were missed. [Bugs 219211, 219399]

        * tests/ioUtil.test: changed to make better use of constraints and
        remove knownBug constraints that weren't valid.

2001-09-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-3.2): Updated test to support newer
        HP-UX releases that properly report euc-jp as the system encoding for
        Japanese. Bug report and patch verification by Bob Techentin. [Bug
        453883]

        the new features just added.

2001-09-06 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclTest.c: tests of old-fs hooks no longer cause problems in
        threaded builds. Also removed unused unload proc.
        * generic/tcl.decls:
        * generic/tclIOUtilc: added Tcl_FSMountsChanged so that a vfs can
        inform the filesystem that the filesystem epoch must be changed (since
        cached filesystems may now be incorrect). Fixes problem running tclvfs
        extension.
        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: if tests aren't in a native filesystem,
        then don't use pipes to run them. [Bug 458741]

2001-09-06  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tcl.decls (479 generic):
        * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek,Tcl_Tell,Tcl_OutputBuffered): Added public
        function to return the size of the output buffer and reworked other
        channel functions to use this shared functionality and that of
        Tcl_InputBuffered() too. [TIP#49, Rolf Schroedter]

2001-09-05  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * generic/tclPlatDecls.h:  Another small trim finalizing Borland
        support.

        * win/tclWinPipe.c:
        * win/tclWinPort.h:  More Borland compatibility fixes. Changed EDQUOT
        #define from 49 to 69. Borland had a clash as it was already using
        this number. Upon advice from Helmut Giese, EDQUOT has been found in
        other header files #defined as 69. [Patch 436116]

        * win/.cvsignore:  A few more glob patterns added.

        * win/makefile.bc (new):  Borland lives once more! rejoice..
        * generic/tclAlloc.c: Small Borland compatibility fix.
        * win/tclWinTime.c:  More Borland compatibility fixes. [Patch 436116]

2001-09-05 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/winFCmd.test: made notWin2000 constraint false if not running
        on Windows at all.

2001-09-04  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * win/tclWinThrd.c:  Revisited _beginthreadex() stuff. Instead of
        assuming a c-runtime implimentation of _beginthreadex normal, I
        reversed the logic to not assume, and use when is by explicitly
        needing to add runtimes that support it such as Borland.

        * generic/tcl.h:
        * generic/tclPlatDecls.h:  Borland compatibility change so ClientData
        was properly typed as a void* and TCHAR would not be defined twice.

        * generic/tcl.h:  Removed a small mistake from before. Changes to the
        EXTERN macro for proper Borland compatibility will have to see a TIP.
        What's this with the MS compiler:

                __declspec(dllexport) int func (int a, int b);

        will have to be this with Borland:

                int __cdecl __export func (int a, int b);

        The order of the attribute needs to be after the return type.

2001-09-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * compat/strtod.c (strtod):  Fixed failure to handle expressions like
        3eq2 and failure to set errno on overflow. [Bug 440894]

2001-09-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclProc.c:
        * tests/proc.test: made [proc] check that formal args have simple
        names. [Bug 458548]

2001-09-04 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        Minor bug fixes in filesystem, plus small vfs changes as a result of
        enabling the test filesystem to work properly.
        * tests/fileName.test: ensure new test cleans up after itself
        * doc/filename.n:
        * generic/tclFileName.c: improved Mac path handling and document why
        [Bug 421842] on Windows handling of UNC paths is not valid.
        Documentation and code now much clearer on what is and is not a UNC
        path.
        * doc/FileSystem.3:
        * unix/tclUnixPipe.c:
        * generic/tclFCmd.c:
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c: fixed error message, fixed [Bug 453512] about
        dangerous use of tmpnam, replaced with mkstemp. Documented all the
        changes.
        * generic/tclTest.c: made test vfs fully functional as a 'reporting
        filesystem'.
        * generic/tcl.stubs:
        * generic/tcl.h:
        * generic/tclInt.h:
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
        * doc/file.n:
        * various platform-specific 'TclpLoadFile': fixed comments about
        unload behaviour, and completed objectification of loading. Required
        change to Tcl_Filesystem lookup table, so incompatible with 8.4a3, but
        not older versions of Tcl. The change also allows 'link' and
        'reporting' filesystems to function correctly when loading files.
        Implementation of 'file delete -force' copes with case where cwd is
        inside the directory. Moved overlooked Tcl_FSGetPathType from internal
        to external API. Made sure filesystems which are registered and then
        unregistered are only freed when all references to them are gone.
        Documented changes.
        * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: when deleting directories recursively, make sure
        permissions are ok. Together with the above, this fixes [Bug 219139]
        * tests/winFCmd.test: differentiated test results for win2k versus
        not. This fixes [Bug: 219239]
        * tests/fCmd.test: added tests for 'file delete -force' where the cwd
        is inside, and when permissions are inadequate.

2001-09-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCompile.c: fixed incorrect operands for INST_LIST [Bug
        458241] (David Cuthbert, dacut@users.sourceforge.net)

2001-09-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): fixed missing comma in
        debug macro.

2001-09-03  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * doc/ExprLongObj.3: Fixed error in documentation of argument type to
        Tcl_ExprObj [Bug 457435]

2001-09-02  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * win/tclWinThrd.c:  Portability fix for Cygwin who's c-runtime,
        not surprisingly, doesn't have the MSVCRT specific _beginthreadex /
        _endthreadex pair. This might have to be revisited for proper Borland,
        lcc32, Watcom and other support as well. [Patch 444255]

        * win/tclWinThrd.c:  Moved FinalizeConditionEvent() proto to within
        the main #ifdef TCL_THREADS block to avoid mingw warning about it
        being there but unused.

        * win/makefile.vc:  Added -Zl (zee el) to tclStubLib.c compile line to
        make sure the tclstub84.lib static library is built without requiring
        a specific C-runtime library at link-time for the end-use developer.
        It has been noted on c.l.t that this trips many first time users
        trying to make extensions. [Patch 403533]

2001-08-31  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclInt.h: added TclCompileListCmd header
        * generic/tclBasic.c: added TclCompileListCmd compile proc
        * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileListCmd): function to compile the
        'list' command at parse time.
        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): definition of INST_LIST
        bytecode.

        * doc/StringObj.3: added words of warning to use Tcl_ResetResult with
        the Tcl_Append* functions.

        * tests/compile.test: added compile-11.* interp result checks
        * generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): added Tcl_ResetResult before
        Tcl_AppendStringsToObj to prevent shared object crash when called from
        bcc instruction. The Tcl_Append* calls that append to the result
        object that are invoked by bcc insts must remember to call
        Tcl_ResetResult because the bcc doesn't do this for us. [Bug 456892]

2001-08-30  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclIndexObj.c: fixed some casting problems that upset Crays.
        [Bug 419528] (andreasen)

2001-08-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tcl.h: Silence warning from Sun compiler. [Bug 454374]

2001-08-30  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c: allow cached fully-qualified command names to
        be usable from different namespaces within the same interpreter
        without forcing a new lookup. This speeds up scripts that pass command
        names in variables ("this" in some OO packages). [Patch 456668]

2001-08-30 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        Further fs updates. After examining the most common Tcl extensions
        (TclX, BLT, Tk, TclPro, Mktclapp), it has been determined that only
        TclpGetCwd and the Access/Stat/Open insert/delete hooks of the
        internal fs functions are ever used. The remaining functions from
        Tcl's internal interfaces have therefore been removed, since Tcl now
        exports a more suitable public API (Tcl_FS...)

        * generic/tclInt.stubs:
        * generic/tclInt.h: updated for removed internal functions. Some new
        internal functions have been put in tclInt.h (and not exported in the
        stub table because good public equivalents exist).
        * generic/tclTest.c: some test functions used the internal private
        APIs. These tests have been retained, but modified to use public APIs.
        Also objectified the internal filesystem tests.
        * win/tclWinFile.c: removed TclpStat, TclpAccess and refactored code
        to use NativeAccess, NativeStat. This should speed up stat, access and
        glob commands.
        * win/tclWinFCmd.c: removed all TclpCopy/Rename/Delete File/Directory
        string-based procedures which aren't used any more. Improved
        efficiency of some other procedures. Ensure that filename conversions
        with a NULL interp do not crash Tcl.
        * mac/tclMacFCmd.c: wrapped long lines and cleaned up
        TclpObjNormalizePath, removed all TclpCopy/Rename/Delete
        File/Directory string-based procedures which aren't used any more.
        * mac/tclMacFile.c: removed obsolete TclpStat, TclpAccess, TclpChdir,
        etc.
        * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: removed use of TclpAccess, removed all
        TclpCopy/Rename/Delete File/Directory string-based procedures which
        aren't used any more.
        * unix/tclUnixFile.c: removed obsolete TclpStat, TclpAccess,
        TclpChdir, etc.
        * tcl(Unix|Mac|Win)Chan.c: objectified TclpOpenFileChannel.
        * various 'load' implementations all objectified.
        * generic/tclFileName.c: removed redundant code.
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed TclStat, TclAccess, TclpListVolumes.
        Fix to MatchInDirectory at the root of a volume. Also improved some
        documentation, and improved default path joining behaviour for virtual
        filesystems, especially regarding '~'.
        * tests/fileName.test: added tests to check for bugs fixed above.
        * doc/FileName.3: improved documentation

2001-08-30  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * generic/tclAsync.c:
        * generic/tclEvent.c:
        * generic/tclInt.h: Improper cleanup of asyncMutex in tclAsync.c
        repaired. TclFinalizeSynchronization() was trying to remove a
        registered mutex that was dumped earlier when the TSD it was stored in
        was cleared. This was only surfacing on *nix. Windows was being masked
        by mutexes not actually being returned to the system! That was
        repaired in a previous patch. Needed to add a private
        TclFinalizeAsync() to tclAsync.c and called from Tcl_FinalizeThread().
        Pheww.. Is this done yet? [Bug 414419] requested by Rob Ratcliff
        <rrr6399@futuretek.com>

2001-08-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclPushVarName): noted 'static' defn.
        [Bug 453872]

2001-08-26  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary):
        * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.{1,9}):
        * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):
        * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):  Corrected inconsistency
        between  the search path for script libraries and the directory name
        $DISTNAME into which distributions built by 'make test' unpack. [Bug
        455642]

2001-08-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * tests/stringComp.test: added string-1.3
        * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): changed to return
        TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE instead of TCL_ERROR when compiling and an
        unknown string method is called. This is necessary as the string
        command may be never called, or not until 'string' is redefined.

2001-08-24 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/glob.n: documented windows-style path issue with glob.
        [Bug 219392]
        * doc/filename.n: documented windows path/file length limitation.
        [Bug 454597]

2001-08-24  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.9): Corrected expected result to
        match Tcl's quirky construction of its init library path.

2001-08-23  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Fixed [Bug 432499]. Part of the
        code used the non-absolute path to the executable to determine
        quoting. This failed if the absolute path contained spaces, but the
        application name itself not. This bug caused no trouble on Win NT 5,
        but does for other variants in the Win* family. Report and fix due to
        Ken Poole <kenpoole@users.sourceforge.net>.

2001-08-23  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * unix/configure:
        * unix/tcl.m4: added QNX-6 build support. [Bug 219410] (loverso)

        * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
        * generic/tclFileName.c: corrected minor compiler warnings.

2001-08-23 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        Variety of small filesystem and vfs issues fixed or improved. The new
        fs code allows many new opportunities for efficiency improvements
        through the objectified API. The main changes integrated here are such
        efficiency improvements. Some limitations of the original
        implementation have also now been lifted. Meanwhile a variety of fs
        bugs (some old, some new) have also been fixed.

        * generic/tclFileName.c: Made Tcl_FSSplitPath more efficient, and
        removed some static string-based procedures which are no longer used.
        Much more objectification. Tcl_FSJoinPath is now very efficient and
        more aware of virtual filesystems. Clarified where the Mac-specific
        code attempts to interpret Unix-style paths. Modified TclDoGlob to use
        lstat not access to fix [Bug 434876] (L. Virden)

        * tcl(Win|Unix|Mac)FCmd.c:
        * tcl(Win|Unix|Mac)File.c: replaced TclpListVolumes with
        TclpObjListVolumes with different signature, updated code due to more
        efficient signature of Tcl_FSGetTranslatedPath. Used cached native
        paths where possible to improve efficiency -- this was completed on
        MacOS, but on Unix and Win the traversal functions make the task much
        more complex, so there are still some improvements possible there.
        Removed unused TclpNormalizePath which had been left in tclWinFCmd.c.
        Objectified all 'file attributes' functions. Fixed the new [Bug
        451571, Bruce Stephens] which is most obvious on Unix, but could occur
        on MacOS or Windows. This bug actually existed in Tcl 8.3.x but was
        only made obvious by the recent filesystem overhaul when the code was
        exercised more heavily.
        * tests/fileName.test: Three new tests to exercise the above bug, and
        make sure it is fixed correctly.
        * unix/tclUnixFile.c: avoid panic in glob when a link doesn't point
        anywhere. It would probably be good to define exactly what Tcl should
        do in circumstances like these, and make sure mac/win/unix all behave
        accordingly. [Bug 417111] (Hemang Lavana). Also fixed
        misleading/obsolete comment in the code.
        * generic/tcl.stubs: changed signature of Tcl_FSGetTranslatedPath and
        added Tcl_FSGetTranslatedStringPath.
        These changes allow further optimisations in the FS code.
        * generic/tcl.h: changed signature of Tcl_FSListVolumes so that it
        doesn't require a Tcl interpreter plus result. Renamed Tcl_FSReadLink
        to Tcl_FSLink with additional argument so we can support making links
        in the future. [Patch: 450340]
        * generic/tclInt.h: added declaration for TclpObjListVolumes.
        Objectified internal call signatures for 'file attributes' functions,
        and added an internal objectified get path type function.
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c: added the moved function TclpListVolumes which
        calls platform specific code (needed for backwards compatibility), and
        improved efficiency of parts of the FS (particularly file
        normalization). Much less copying and memory allocation is required
        now. added new GetPathType so that changes in 'file volumes' can
        actually affect files' types, and objectified more code. Made current
        code work with test suite artificially changing current platform.
        Added 'static' keywords where required.
        * generic/tclIO.c:
        * generic/tclTest.c: Added 'static' keywords, fixing [Bug 453872] (Bob
        Techentin)
        * generic/tclCmdAH.c: file command implementation updated for API
        changes, removed unnecessary special-case SplitPath static function,
        since it no longer helps prevent code duplication. Moved setting of
        interpreter result to each individual location that actually required
        it, to avoid very large code separation between reading and setting
        the result.
        * doc/FileSystem.3: updated documentation for the new or changed APIs,
        and clarified some issues.
        * doc/SplitPath.3: added pointer to newer APIs in FileSystem.3
        * doc/filename.n: clarified current implementation of tilde support on
        Mac/Win.  [Bug 453514] (Sergey Kuzmin)
        * doc/glob.n: improved documentation for '-directory' and '-path'
        options.

        There are now many private, obsolete, platform-specific 'Tclp'
        string-based filesystem APIs which could be removed. We should check
        whether any of these are used by extensions and, at least in Tcl 9,
        remove them.

        The above changes signify a ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** with
        8.4a3, since signatures of two functions in the new API have changed,
        but not with older versions of Tcl.

2001-08-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tclBinary.c (FormatNumber): Extract a long from the object
        and not an int, to stop [binary format] from being unable to format
        some input numbers on architectures where sizeof(int) is less than
        sizeof(long) (particularly Alpha). [tiprender Bug 441861]

        * tests/format.test: Converted conditional execution of tests into a
        test constraint.

2001-08-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * win/Makefile.in:
        * win/makefile.vc: updated install target for dde1.2
        * doc/dde.n: fixed dde man page (which was totally incorrect).
        * tests/winDde.test:
        * win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): added -binary option to dde request
        command to allow for returning binary data. [Bug 227482]
        Updated dde to 1.2

        * tests/tcltest.test: added unixExecs constraint to files that used
        'grep' in the test. [Bug 453143]

        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: fixed stdio constraint test. [Patch
        454050] (stanton)
        Simplified unixExecs constraint test.

2001-08-22  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        by fix of overagressive compiler. [Bug 451200]

2001-08-21  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCompCmds.c:
        * tests/compile.test: Fixed overagressive compilation of [catch]: it
        was catching errors at substitution time. [Bug 219184]

2001-08-21  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * tests/tcltest.test (tcltest-12.2): fixed test that would break when
        env vars weren't Tcl list friendly [Patch 454046] (stanton)

2001-08-20  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * library/http/http.tcl (geturl): added port number to Host: header to
        comply with HTTP/1.1 spec (RFC 2068). [Bug 452217]

2001-08-16  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * tools/tcl.wse.in:
        * tools/tcl.hpj.in:
        * win/tcl.hpj.in:  Removed -kb storage in CVS to ensure these text
        files are checked-out in the translation mode CVS is in. Setting these
        as binary as part of an effort to make sure they are always in CRLF,
        no matter what the CVS translation, is bypassing how CVS works and is
        confusing.

        * tools/genStubs.tcl:  Removed LF-only output. Having to reconvert
        back to CRLF before committing to CVS was giving me a headache. [Bug
        451333]

        * win/makefile.vc: replaced $(WINDIR) with $(include32) for the
        .rc.res inference rule. winver.h wasn't getting included. [Bug 445630]

2001-08-14  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        Variety of small issues introduced by the vfs code fixed:
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c: uninitialised read.
        * generic/tclFCmd.c: possible memory leak in file delete with error
        condition.

2001-08-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclVar.c:
        * tests/trace.test: Insure that [array] traces work correctly for
        undefined variables. [Bug 449094]

2001-08-09  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * unix/Makefile.in: Delete the unused getcwd.o target. [Bug 440942]

        Bumped patchlevels of changed packages: http 2.3.2, msgcat 1.2.2,
        opt 0.4.3, tcltest 2.0.1. [Patch 448931]

        snapshots from the 8.4a3 release. This does not necessarily mean there
        will be an 8.4a4 release. [Bug 448938]

2001-08-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        8.4a3 RELEASE

        * changes:
        * README:
        * mac/README:
        * unix/README:
        * win/README.binary: updated for 8.4a3 release

        * generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_FSSplitPath): update to Tcl style guide.

        * generic/tclFCmd.c (FileCopyRename): fixed mem leak in introduction
        of vfs code where a new Tcl_Obj wasn't freed.

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd, Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): reordered
        the retrieval of arguments to avoid shimmering bug when the pattern
        and string referenced the same object.

        * unix/configure: regenerated
        * unixE/tcl.m4: added GNU (HURD) configuration target.
        [Patch 442974] (brinkmann)

        * win/README: made note of URL for Windows compilation notes

        * win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpFinalizeMutex, TclpFinalizeCondition): added
        DeleteCriticalSection calls for cleanup [Patch 419683]

        * unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): fixed use of tmpnam,
        which is dangerous. [Patch 442636] (lim)
        The use of tmpnam in TclpTempFileName must still be changed.

        * tests/http.test (http-4.14): fixed variable error return.
        [Bug 424252]

2001-08-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * win/configure: regenerated
        * win/tcl.m4: fixed DLLSUFFIX definition to always be ${DBGX}.dll.
        This is necessary for TEA compliant builds that build shared against a
        static-built Tcl.
        * win/Makefile.in ($(TCLSH)): added $(TCL_STUB_LIB_FILE) to build
        target, otherwise it wouldn't get generated in a static build.

2001-08-06  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Applied patch from [Bug 442665]
        to fix the bug reported by it. The function can corrupt a freed object
        if it is called with objc == 3. This is because it retrieves resultPtr
        and does not increment its reference count, but then calls
        Tcl_ObjSetVar2, which causes the retrieved resultPtr object to be
        released.

2001-08-06  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/tclsh.1: Added note that the tclsh program is frequently
        installed with the Tcl version numer as part of the name. [Patch
        402725]

        * generic/tclPkg.c:
        * tests/pkg.test:  [package forget] now forgets all of the package
        arguments it receives, not stopping when a package is not found. [Bug
        415273]

2001-08-02  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory): corrected
        uninitialized value.

2001-08-02  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * generic/tclPlatDecls.h:
        * win/tclWinPort.h: Revert <tchar.h> related changes made to improve
        Cygwin support on 2001-07-18. This change ended up breaking the VC++
        build because of conflicts between Windows APIs and internal Tk APIs.

2001-08-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: minor casts to eliminate warnings. (lim)
        [Patch 440218]

        * tests/parseOld.test: changed some tests that required testwordend to
        exist to skip in a proper tcltest manner. [Bug 442663]

        * library/http/http.tcl (http::mapReply): the regsub'ing of \n and \t
        to escape them was unnecessary.

2001-07-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * win/tclWinThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread): Close Windows HANDLE returned
        by _beginthreadex. The MS documentation states that this handle is not
        closed by a later call to _endthreadex.

2001-07-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/pkgMkindex.n:
        * library/package.tcl:  Corrected documentation and usage message of
        [pkg_mkIndex].

2001-07-18  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: Define TCHAR by including windows.h instead
        of tchar.h since Cygwin does not support the tchar.h header. Include
        CHECK_UNICODE_CALLS logic from tclWinPort.h.
        * win/tclWinPort.h: Remove CHECK_UNICODE_CALLS logic. Remove include
        of windows.h since this now done it tclPlatDecls.h.
        * win/tclWinReg.c: Remove duplicate include of windows.h.

2001-07-18  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclIO.c: Aftermath to [Bug 427196]. Squash empty buffers if
        they are smaller than the requested buffersize, to prevent reusage of
        old buffers and to honor changes in the requested buffersize made by
        the user.

2001-07-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpReadlink): Add Cygwin specific definition for
        the TclpReadlink function. This method implements reading of symbolic
        links when build with Cygwin.

2001-07-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * win/tclWinPort.h: Add Cygwin specific defines for environ and
        timezone variables.

2001-07-17  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclIO.c (GetInput): Fixed [Bug 427196]. Memory was
        overwritten because a buffer was used after a change of the requested
        buffersize together with that requested buffersize and not its actual
        size, which was smaller. Note that the continous reuse of the smaller
        buffer negatively impacts performance. The system never allocates a
        buffer with the newly requested bigger buffersize.

2001-07-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * generic/tcl.h: Define __WIN32__ when __CYGWIN__ or __MINGW32__ is
        defined.
        * generic/tclAlloc.c: Define caddr_t when compiling with VC++ or
        mingw. This type is already defined when compiling with Cygwin.

2001-07-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * win/tclWinConsole.c:
        * win/tclWinPipe.c:
        * win/tclWinPort.h:
        * win/tclWinSerial.c:
        * win/tclWinThrd.c:
        Remove unnecessary #includes of dos.h, direct.h, and tchar.h. This
        will help the Cygwin porting effort since these headers do not exist
        under Cygwin.

2001-07-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc): constrained the mutex lock to
        just the TerminateThread call and waiting for termination. (jsmith)

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Removed extra copy of the SCAN_* macros
        #defined in generic/tclScan.c. [Bug 441230] (porter)

2001-07-12  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.8): Added extra constraint,
        notInstalledInTmp, to stop this test from damaging installations in
        /tmp; not much fun to have to reinstall the Tcl library every time you
        run the test suite!

        * tests/subst.test (subst-10.*): Updated tests to check new behaviour
        for 'break' in command substitutions.
        (subst-1.2,subst-7.1): Error messages changed.
        * doc/SubstObj.3: New file, to document Tcl_SubstObj.
        * doc/subst.n: Improved and updated documentation for 'subst' to help
        support the changed behaviour.
        * generic/tcl.decls (generic-437): Declaration for Tcl_SubstObj
        * generic/tcl.h (TCL_SUBST_*): Added flags for Tcl_SubstObj.
        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj,Tcl_SubstObjCmd): Divided into two
        parts to allow people to access the innards of 'subst' and changed the
        behaviour when command substitutions do a 'break' to be different from
        'continue'. Also now works with objects, which allows for some nifty
        optimisations with variable substitutions and a slight improvement
        with command substitutions. [TIP#36]

2001-07-10  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * unix/Makefile.in: Add AR variable for use in STLIB_LD.
        * unix/configure: Regen.
        * unix/configure.in: Use STLIB_LD when defining MAKE_LIB and
        MAKE_STUB_LIB. Subst RANLIB and AR.
        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add doc comment about STLIB_LD
        command. Check ${AR} env var when setting STLIB_LD and delay
        evaluation until make time.
        * win/configure: Regen.
        * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Delay evaluation of ${AR} in STLIB_LD
        and add flags to better match the Unix implementation. Don't bother
        defining AR when using VC++ since it is not used.

2001-07-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * win/configure: Regen.
        * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Pass -e _WinMain@16 in addition to
        the -mwindows flag to work around a problem with ld when it
        incorrectly use main() as the executable entry point when both
        WinMain() and main() are available.

2001-07-06  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/cmdAH.test: Added leading zero to file modes to work around
        fault in HPUX strtol() which ignores the base parameter. [Bug 438808]

2001-07-05  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * win/Makefile.in: Subst DEPARG directly instead of relying on a
        variable. This will make Cygwin builds faster since an extra exec will
        be avoided.
        * win/configure: Regen.
        * win/configure.in: Subst DEPARG.
        * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Move AC_MSG_CHECKING after the
        AC_CHECK_PROG so that status messages do not get mixed together. Set
        DEPARG based on the results of the cygpath check so that we avoid
        using an extra exec when it is not needed. Use ac_cv_cygwin status
        flag instead of looking at the output of gcc -v, which works in the
        case where -mno-cygwin is set in the CFLAGS.

2001-07-04  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * README:
        * mac/README:
        * unix/README:
        * win/README:
        * win/README.binary: updated READMEs with purls

2001-07-03  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * win/Makefile.in: Remove PATHTYPE variable.
        * win/configure: Regen.
        * win/configure.in: Don't subst PATHTYPE.
        * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Remove PATHTYPE variable. Set CYGPATH
        to "cygpath -w" if the cygpath executable is found on the path. This
        approach works for native Cygwin builds and cross compiles.

2001-07-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * tests/var.test:
        * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_VariableObjCmd): added patch to check for
        number of args. [Patch 426038]

        * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_GetVar2Ex): added ability to recognize
        TCL_TRACE_READS flags to cause creation of part1 in TclLookupVar to
        make sure newly created array will get read traces triggered
        appropriately. This is called by Tcl_ObjGetVar2, Tcl_GetVar, and
        Tcl_GetVar2.
        (TclSetIndexedScalar, TclSetElementOfIndexedArray): added read trace
        triggering for lappend case.
        (Tcl_LappendObjCmd): pass TCL_TRACE_READS to Tcl_ObjGetVar2 to trigger
        possible read traces for new arrays.

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): added TCL_TRACE_READS
        flag to INST_LAPPEND(_ARRAY)_STK case to trigger read traces for newly
        created arrays. Removed unnecessary #ifdef for TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG in
        INST_LOAD_SCALAR1 case.

        * tests/append.test:
        * tests/appendComp.test: added tests for read trace triggering for
        append and lappend.

2001-07-03  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * tests/clock.test (clock-2.5): Adjust test so that it passes when the
        time slice is 60 msecs, now passes under Windows 98.

2001-07-03  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Don't pass the v flag to ${AR} when
        using gcc, verbose output is not needed.

2001-07-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.8):  Changed test back to using
        installation layout, adding comments explaining why the test writes to
        the directories it does, and checks to avoid destroying other files in
        /tmp.

2001-07-03  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-1.2): Fixed faults reported in
        [Bug 438070] - well, at least enough to work on Solaris - and added
        comments that should make what is going on in the test clearer.

2001-07-02  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * tests/util.test: added util-4.6
        * generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_ConcatObj): Corrected walking backwards over
        utf-8 chars. [Bug 227512]

2001-07-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.8):  Corrected test for all absolute
        pathnames in library path when executable is installed near root
        directory to use correct development directory layout. [Bug 438014]

        * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.9):
        * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):
        * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):  Corrected buggy
        construction of search path entries relative to executable. Added test
        for bad construction. [Bug 438014]

2001-06-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclNamesp.c: Correction to faulty patch from [Bug 231259]

2001-06-28  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-1.2): Modified so as not to require a
        local echo service, which fails on many systems which have that turned
        off for security reasons...

2001-06-27  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclInt.h:
        * generic/tclObj.c:
        * unix/Makefile.in: added a -DPURIFY mode that makes Tcl_Obj's
        allocated and free singularly (instead of in alloc in blocks and never
        free) to allow checkers like Purify to operate better.

        * library/encoding/koi8-u.enc: added koi8-u (Ukranian variant)
        encoding.

        * tests/subst.test:
        * generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UtfBackslash): Corrected backslash handling of
        multibyte utf-8 chars. [Bug 217987]

        * generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoProcsCmd): fixed potential mem leak in info
        procs that created objects without using them.

        * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): fixed mem leak when
        string command failed to parse the subcommand.

        * doc/interp.n:
        * doc/unknown.n: updated notes about what is in a safe interp. [Bug
        218605]

2001-06-27  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/event.test (event-11.5): Removed hard-coded port number which
        could fail on some systems. [Bug 436727]

2001-06-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * unix/Makefile.in:
        * win/Makefile.in: Add `make shell` target. This target will set the
        proper env vars before invoking tclsh from the build directory.

2001-06-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * win/Makefile.in: Use : to separate VPATH entries. This works for
        both Cygwin builds and cross builds, the VPSEP variable is simply
        unneeded complexity.
        * win/configure: Regen.
        * win/configure.in: Don't subst VPSEP.
        * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Remove VPSEP variable.

2001-06-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * unix/configure: Regen.
        * unix/configure.in: Fix last checkin by removing export since that
        only works in bash.
        * win/configure: Regen.

2001-06-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * unix/configure: Regen.
        * unix/configure.in: Set CFLAGS to "" if the user did not set CFLAGS
        in the env. This keeps AC_PROG_CC from adding "-g -O2" to the CFLAGS
        by default.
        * win/configure: Regen.
        * win/configure.in: Ditto.

2001-06-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * win/configure: Regen.
        * win/configure.in: Use RC_DEFINE flag from tcl.m4.
        * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Set RC_DEFINE flag based on the
        compiler in use.

2001-06-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Link to the imm32 library when
        building with mingw gcc.

2001-06-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * win/configure: Regen.
        * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): When building with gcc, don't attempt
        to link with LD or support dllwrap. Simply require a recent version of
        Cygwin gcc or Mingw gcc that supports -shared. When linking, use gcc
        instead of ld since gcc automatically includes libs like -lmsvcrt.

2001-06-22  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * win/configure: Regen.
        * win/configure.in: Add resource compiler fix from 8.3.3 to fix
        compiling with mingw.

2001-06-22  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * win/configure: Regen.
        * win/tcl.m4: Fix silly typo in last checkin.

2001-06-22  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * unix/Makefile.in: Set CFLAGS to @CFLAGS@ and @CFLAGS_DEFAULT@. Set
        LDFLAGS to @LDFLAGS@ and @LDFLAGS_DEFAULT@. Add LDFLAGS_DEBUG and
        LDFLAGS_OPTIMIZE to match the way CFLAGS_DEFAULT works. This will
        support user set CFLAGS or LDFLAGS at configure time.
        * unix/configure: Regen.
        * unix/configure.in: Don't set CFLAGS to CFLAGS_DEFAULT, instead
        subst CFLAGS_DEFAULT into the Makefile. Add AC_SUBST for
        CFLAGS_DEFAULT, LDFLAGS_DEFAULT, LDFLAGS_DEBUG, and LDFLAGS_OPTIMIZE.
        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS): Modify LDFLAGS_DEFAULT so that it
        uses a Makefile variable just like CFLAGS_DEFAULT.
        * win/Makefile.in: Set CFLAGS to @CFLAGS@ and @CFLAGS_DEFAULT@. Set
        LDFLAGS to @LDFLAGS@ and @LDFLAGS_DEFAULT@. This will support user set
        CFLAGS or LDFLAGS at configure time.
        * win/configure: Regen.
        * win/configure.in: Don't set CFLAGS or LDFLAGS, instead subst
        CFLAGS_DEFAULT and LDFLAGS_DEFAULT into the Makefile.
        * win/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS): Modify LDFLAGS_DEFAULT so that it
        uses a Makefile variable just like CFLAGS_DEFAULT.

2001-06-22  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * win/configure:
        * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Don't set LDFLAGS_DEBUG to -g or
        LDFLAGS_OPTIMIZE to -O when compiling with gcc. These flags are not
        needed and can cause problems with the Cygwin version of ld.

2001-06-18  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-1.2,unixInit-2.8): Added test for code
        described below, and fixed a couple of errors that caused problems
        during testing; the code to determine the installedTcl constraint was
        wrong, and test unixInit-2.8 assumed that /tmp/lib was free for use
        and could be deleted, which clashed nastily with my installation and
        made other tests fail unnecessarily!

        * unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyInit,TclpOpenFileChannel,
        (Tcl_MakeFileChannel,TclpGetDefaultStdChannel): Alterations so that
        the standard channels - stdin, stdout and stderr - have the correct
        type and fconfigure options. This required making the initialisation
        of serial lines a little more sophisticated to make the console behave
        correctly in interactive mode... [Bug 219137 and duplicates]

        * mac/tclMacAppInit.c (main):

        * mac/tclMacPanic.c: Modified special Mac implementations of
        Tcl_*Panic* to be exact copies of the generic implementations. Added
        TclMacSetPanic. The generic implementations should be used directly,
        rather than copies, but that requires further changes by someone
        familiar with the Mac build systems. [Patch 415648]

        * generic/tclDecls.h:
        * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
        * generic/tclStubInit.c: `make gentubs` after above changes.

        * doc/Panic.3:

        followed by `make mklinks`. [Patch 415648, Bug 219170, Bug 414936]

2001-06-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

2001-05-30  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Added two casts to
        INST_STR_CMP implementation to get rid of a couple warnings from the
        SUNWspro C compiler.

        * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_GetMathFuncInfo,Tcl_ListMathFuncs):

2001-05-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * library/init.tcl (unknown): removed errant " in error message

2001-05-27  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/regc_locale.c: updated character class range data for
        Unicode v3.1.0 compliance.
        * generic/tclUniData.c: regenerated from Unicode v3.1.0 data file (new
        as of 2001-05-16). This brings Tcl to current unicode compliance.

        * tests/utf.test: added tests to check unicode 3 compliance

        * unix/Makefile.in (tclUtf.o): added tclUniData.c dependency.

        * tools/uniClass.tcl: added comments to output format and the script
        for clarification.

        * tools/uniParse.tcl: corrected filename output and GetDelta macro to
        use 'info' as param (was 'infO')

2001-05-26  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tclVar.c (tclArraySearchType,SetArraySearchObj,
        (ParseSearchId): Added code to speed up array searching by reducing
        the amount of parsing needed for searchIds.

        * generic/tclObj.c (TclInitObjSubsystem):
        * generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):

2001-05-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_TCLCONFIG): Fix comments, and typo in cached
        variable name.

2001-05-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_LOAD_TKCONFIG): Remove use of undefined TCLCONFIG
        variable and call AC_MSG_RESULT to print the checking result.
        * win/tcl.m4: Ditto.

2001-05-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclObj.c (TclAllocateFreeObjects): simplified
        objSizePlusPadding to use sizeof(Tcl_Obj) (max) Corrected use of
        tclObjsAlloced/Freed/Shared in TCL_MEM_DEBUG compile.

2001-05-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c: removed Tcl_DuplicateObj in INST_DUP

2001-05-21  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * tests/tcltest.test (tcltest-19.1): fixed failing test that was
        getting affected by Windows env handling of empty valued elements.

        * unix/tcl.m4: added more common install directories in which to
        search for *Config.sh. [Bug 419812]

        * tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-1.4): added notLinux constraint to test to
        prevent failure message on Linux due to OS caching bug.

        * tests/httpd (httpdRespond): added response to timeout value in query
        string.

        * tests/http.test: removed unused notLinux constraint setting

        * generic/tclRegexp.c (Tcl_RegExpExecObj): added use of
        Tcl_GetUnicodeFromObj.

2001-05-19  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Note that "tclbench" (see project "tcllib") was extended with
        performance benchmarks for [fcopy] too.

        * doc/fcopy.n: Updated to reflect the extended behaviour of 'fcopy'.

        * tests/io.test: Added tests 'io-52.9', 'io-52.10' and 'io-52.11' to
        test the handling of encodings by 'fcopy' / 'TclCopychannel'. [Bug
        209210]

        * generic/tclIO.c: Split of both 'Tcl_ReadChars' and 'Tcl_WriteChars'
        into a public error checking and an internal working part. The public
        functions now use the new internal ones. The new functions are
        'DoReadChars' and 'DoWriteChars'. Extended 'CopyData' to use the new
        functions 'DoXChars' when required by the encodings on the input and
        output channels. [Bug 209210]

2001-05-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * library/history.tcl (tcl::HistAdd): prevent empty calls from being
        added to the history (arndt)

        * tests/error.test: updated error-1.3 message to account for string
        index being compiled at toplevel.
        * tests/appendComp.test:
        * tests/stringComp.test: new files for extended bytecode testing

        * generic/tclBasic.c: added new CompileProc invocations to basic
        command initialization.
        * generic/tclCompCmds.c: added new compile commands for append,
        lappend, lindex and llength. Refactored set and incr compile commands
        to use new TclPushVarName function for handling the varname component
        during compilation (also used by append and lappend). Changed string
        compile command to compile toplevel code as well (when possible).
        * generic/tclCompile.c: added new instruction enums
        * generic/tclCompile.h: added debug info for new instructions
        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): moved elemPtr to toplevel
        var (oft-used). Added definitions for new bytecode instructions
        INST_LIST_INDEX, INST_LIST_LENGTH, INST_APPEND_SCALAR1,
        INST_APPEND_SCALAR4, INST_APPEND_ARRAY1, INST_APPEND_ARRAY4,

        INST_LAPPEND_SCALAR4, INST_LAPPEND_ARRAY1, INST_LAPPEND_ARRAY4,
        INST_LAPPEND_ARRAY_STK, INST_LAPPEND_STK.
        Refactored repititious code for reuse with INST_LOAD_STK (same as
        INST_LOAD_SCALAR_STK), INST_STORE_STK (same as INST_STORE_SCALAR_STK).
        Updated INST_STR_CMP with style of fix of 2001-04-06 Fellows
        [Bug 219201] as that fix only affected the runtime eval'ed "string"
        (string compare is normally byte-compiled now). We may want to back
        these out for speed in the future, noting the problems with \x00
        comparisons in the docs.
        * generic/tclInt.h: declarations for new compile commands.
        * generic/tclVar.c: change TclGetIndexedScalar,
        TclGetElementOfIndexedArray, TclSetElementOfIndexedArray and
        TclSetIndexedScalar to use flags. The Set functions now support
        TCL_APPEND_ELEMENT and TCL_LIST_ELEMENT as well.
        * generic/tclInt.decls:
        * generic/tclIntDecls.h: minor signature changes for above.

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: made use of new Tcl_GetUnicodeFromObj.

        * unix/tclUnixPipe.c: updated pipeChannelType to TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_2
        type specification.

        * tests/fileName.test: corrected tests not to fail on win when a
        C:/test dir exists.

        Patched from [Bug 231259]

2001-05-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * doc/console.n: Created. It seems very odd to me that the console
        implementation is part of the Tcl distribution and not part of Tk, but
        given the location of the source, the documentation must obviously
        match up...

2001-05-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd):
        * tests/string.test (string-4.14): Negative string indices should not
        be added as offsets to the result of [string first] but instead be
        treated as referring to the start of the string. [Bug 423581]

2001-05-11  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * unix/Makefile.in: Add a LDFLAGS variable to the Makefile instead of
        directly substing @LDFLAGS@.
        * unix/configure: Regen.
        * unix/tcl.m4: Fix CFLAGS_DEFAULT so that the name of a Makefile

        Makefile.

2001-05-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * tests/tcltest.test: removed extraneous 'c' (doh!) [Bug: 414031]

        * tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: removed use of 'exec' for portability and
        fixed up code.

2001-05-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/library.n:
        * library/init.tcl:

        matching in the [namespace import] style. [Bug 420186]
        ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for any callers of [auto_import] from
        outside Tcl that expect the pattern matching to be like that of
        [string match].

2001-05-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclParse.c:
        * tests/namespace.test: Insure consistent behaviour of the [unknown]
        command: when a command is unknown, it is always processed by
        [::unknown], ignoring any namespace proc which happens to be called
        "unknown" [Patch 421166, Bug 420507]

2001-05-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tools/genStubs.tcl: Add a package require of Tcl 8 at the beginning
        of the script so that the script will print a descriptive error
        message when run in an old Tcl 7 shell.

2001-04-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * tools/tcl.wse.in: Added ISO 8859-15 (a.k.a. Latin-1 + Euro currency
        symbol) support.

        * generic/tclNamesp.c:
        * generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand): Missing CONST from several
        declarations relating to use of TclGetNamespaceForQualName

        415179]
        ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** from 8.4a2, in which Vince Darley's
        changes to command tracing were added. A const has been added to the
        type signature of one of the parameters to Tcl_CommandTraceProc.

2001-04-10  Kevin B. Kenny    <kennykb@acm.org>

        * unix/tclUnixTime.c: Altered code to use memcpy instead of
        structure assigments in an effort to achieve better K&R
        compatibility.

2001-04-10  Kevin B. Kenny    <kennykb@acm.org>

        * unix/tclUnixTime.c: Fixed silly typo in calls to 'gmtime' and
        'localtime' that broke the Linux build.

2001-04-09  Kevin B. Kenny    <kennykb@acm.org>

        * unix/tclLoadShl.c: Added DYNAMIC_PATH to the load flags so that the
        SHLIB_PATH will be searched for other libraries. [Bug 219140]

2001-04-09  Kevin B. Kenny    <kennykb@acm.org>

        * unix/tcl.m4: Added _REENTRANT to Solaris build so that thread safe
        library routines are included.
        * unix/configure: Re-ran 'autoconf' with changed tcl.m4
        * tclUnixTime.c: Modified for thread safety of 'gmtime' and
        'localtime' system calls. [Bugs 219136 and 232558]

2001-04-09  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/expr.test (expr-21.*): Tests to check below fix.
        * generic/tclParseExpr.c (GetLexeme): Now recognises the
        non-numeric boolean literals for what they are. It no longer makes
        sense for anyone to create functions with the same name as one of
        them, but this was true in 7.* as well [Bug 217777; finally!]

2001-04-07  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        undocumented public functionality.

        * unix/mkLinks: Updated to include the new manpage.

        * tests/string.test (string-2.30): Test for this case
        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd, STR_COMPARE branch): Fixed
        problem caused by Utf-rep of \x00 being more than Utf-rep of \x01
        fooling memcmp by forcing everything through Utf-based comparisons.
        Added optimizations for case where objects have a string/unicode-rep
        or a bytearray-rep (i.e. where we can perform comparisons on
        fixed-size units). [Bug 219201]
        * generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UtfNcmp): Corrected seriously erroneous
        comment.

        to NULL to allow for reuse.
        * generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): moved the tsdPtr initialization
        inside the subsystemsInitialized check to prevent it potentially

        (install-doc): improved install-* targets to use their base build

2001-03-30  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * All of the changes below belong to TIP #10 [Tcl I/O Enhancement:
        Thread-Aware Channels]. See also [Patch 403358] at SF.

        * generic/tclIO.h (struct ChannelState, line 236f): Extended the
        structure with a new field of type 'Tcl_ThreadId' to hold the id of
        the thread currently managing all channels with this state.

        Note: This structure is shared by all channels in a stack of
        transformations.

        * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CreateChannel, lines 1058-1065): Modified to
        store the Id of the current thread in the 'ChannelState' of the new
        channel.

        * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SpliceChannel, lines 2265-2270): Modified in
        the same manner as 'Tcl_CreateChannel' as the channel will be managed
        by the current thread afterward.

        * generic/tclIO.c   (Tcl_GetChannelThread, lines 1478-1503):
        * generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_GetChannelThread, lines 1504-1506): New API
        function to retrieve the Id of the managing thread from a channel.
        Implementation and declaration.

        * generic/tclTest.c (TestChannelCmd, lines 4520-4532): Added
        subcommand 'mthread' to query a channel about its managing thread.

2001-03-29  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * tests/interp.test: Print out warning when testinterpdelete command
        is not defined. Add tests that checks to make sure a child interp
        inherits the parent's cwd.

2001-03-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@gimlet.activestate.com>

        * doc/tcltest.n: corrected incorrect macro usage.

        * doc/lsort.n: corrected unbalanced nroff macros.

        * unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): prevent potential race
        condition and security leak in tmp filename creation.
        [Patch 402924] (max)

        * unix/configure:
        * unix/tcl.m4: corrected IRIX-5.x config to not use -n32.
        [Patch 403626] (english)

        * unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_ConditionWait): fixed handling of timeout
        for threads (corrects excessive CPU usage issue for Tk on Unix in
        threaded Tcl environment). [Bug 411603] (ruppert)

2001-03-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * doc/lsort.n: Added some notes that clarify the behaviour of
        [lsort] as well as a whole bunch of examples.  [Bug 219202]

2001-03-27  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@gimlet.activestate.com>

        * doc/Alloc.3: corrected docs to note that Tcl_Attempt* return char
        *'s, not ints. [Bug 411388]

        * tests/regexp.test (regexp-19.1):
        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): fixed handling of nulls in
        subspec value.

2001-03-26  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclDecls.h (Tcl_InitCustomHashTable):  Correction to patch
        from 2001-01-18;  tclDecls.h was not generated using 'make genstubs'.

2001-03-26  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * win/tclWinInt.h (tclWinTCharEncoding): Removed as now a static
        variable in win/tclWin32Dll.c instead.

2001-03-23  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@activestate.com>

        * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): Corrected retrieval of resultPtr
        to prevent possible corruption.

        * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_Import): Correctly freed a DString.
        [Patch 403755] (lavana)

2001-03-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/set-old.test (set-old-7.2): Changed error behaviour of
        [unset] to agree with documentation, so must change test as well.

2001-03-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * library/package.tcl (pkg_mkIndex):  Added patch from Vince Darley to
        make [pkg_mkIndex -verbose] even more verbose. [Bug 219349, Patch
        403529]

2001-03-13  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * doc/info.n: Improved documentation for [info hostname]. [Bug 403840]

        * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UnsetObjCmd): Made command behave as
        documented [issue remaining from Bug 405769]

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): A missing {return TCL_OK;}
        was causing memory corruption. [Bug 408002]

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclDeleteExecEnv, GrowEvaluationStack,
        (TclExecuteByteCode): Added some casts to ClientData that are
        apparently needed on some architectures.

2001-03-12  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/string.test: Fixed some test numberings and added a test.
        [Patch 403229]

2001-03-06  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UnsetObjCmd): Rewrote argument parser to avoid
        a read off the end of the argument array that could occur when
        executing something like [unset -nocomplain] was executed. Improved
        the error message given when too few arguments are given (-nocomplain
        should obviously be *before* --, not after it) and also modified the
        test suite to take account of that and the documentation to use the
        same improvement. [Bug 405769]

2001-03-02  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Fixed bug that could pass
        pointers to freed memory to command implementations, which most
        obviously caused some weird behaviour with [info level], but could
        have caused problems with user code and command traces too. [Bug
        404865, Patch 405436]

2001-02-23  msofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * no changes; fixing up the missing comment in the previous one.
        Sorry.

2001-02-23  msofer  <msofer@ant.utdt>

        * /cvsroot/tcl/tcl/tests/execute.test: added test for evaluation of an
        expression in a variable; evals once by compiling, second time using
        the previous compilation

2001-02-18  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

        * doc/clock.n: Updated documentation to reflect the addition of
        compat/strftime.c, including the correct formatting of ISO-8601:1988
        fiscal week number (%V).

2001-02-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SplitObjCmd): Improved efficiency of
        splitting strings into individual characters by adding hash so that
        only one Tcl_Obj per character is created. Improves performance of
        splitting of short strings and makes a huge difference to splitting of
        long strings, such as is done in the mime package in tcllib. [Bug
        131523]

2001-01-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * win/makefile.vc (install-libraries):  Corrected misdirected install
        directory for the msgcat 1.2 package.

2001-01-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Moved code that updates the count of how
        many bytes are left to copy. Corrects bug that when writing occurs in
        the background, the copy loop could be escaped without updating the
        count, causing CopyData() to try to copy more bytes than the toRead
        value originally passed to TclCopyChannel(), leading to hangs and
        misreporting of number of bytes copied. [Bug 118203, Patch 103432]

2001-01-18  Andreas Kupries  <a.kupries@westend.com>

        Everything below belongs together, it fixes [Bug 123153]

        * generic/tcl.h (line 342): A bit more explanation about the default
        value for TCL_PRESERVE_BINARY_COMPATABILITY.

        * generic/tcl.h (line 1208): Define the macro 'Tcl_InitHashTable' only
        when TCL_PRESERVE_BINARY_COMPATIBILITY is not set as it kills binary
        compatibility to 8.3 and earlier versions. This is the main part of
        the patch/change.

        * generic/tcl.decls (line 1469):
        * generic/tclHash.c (Tcl_InitHashTable):
        * generic/tclHash.c (Tcl_InitHashTableEx):
        * generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_InitObjHashTable): Changed
        'Tcl_InitHashTableEx' to 'Tcl_InitCustomHashTable'. This change is
        more of an estethical nature, replacing the ubiquitous 'Ex' suffix
        with a more meaningful name. The introduced binary incompatibility is
        deemed acceptable as it is between alpha versions.  Updated callers.

        * doc/Hash.3:
        * unix/mkLinks: Changed 'Tcl_InitHashTableEx' to
        'Tcl_InitCustomHashTable'.

2001-01-10  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-1.20):
        * tests/winDde.test (createChildProcess):
        * tests/pkgMkIndex.test (pkgtest::createIndex): Removed assumption
        that paths contain no spaces which causes problems with both [eval]
        and [open |...] due to the well-known differences between lists and
        strings. Fixes [Bug 119406]

2001-01-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/unixInit.test:
        * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):
        * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):  Several entries in the
        library path ($tcl_libPath) are determined relative to the absolute
        path of the executable. When the executable is installed in or near
        the root directory of the file system, relative pathnames were being
        incorrectly generated, and in the worst case, memory access violations
        were crashing the program. [Bug 119416, Patch 102972]
