-	*** 8.5.11 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+	* tests/thread.test: Remove unnecessary [after] calls from the thread
+	tests.  Make error message matching more robust for tests that may
+	have built-in race conditions.  Test thread-7.26 must first unset all
+	thread testing related variables.  Revise results of the thread-7.28
+	through thread-7.31 tests to account for the fact they are canceled
+	via a script sent to the thread asynchronously, which then impacts the
+	error message handling.  Attempt to manually drain the event queue for
+	the main thread after joining the test thread to make sure no stray
+	events are processed at the wrong time on the main thread.  Revise all
+	the synchronization and comparison semantics related to the thread id
+	and error message.

-	that (a) fixes a severe performance problem with floating point
-	shimmering reported by Karl Lehenbauer, (b) allows TclDoubleDigits
-	to generate the digit strings for 'e' and 'f' format, so that it
-	can be used for tcl_precision != 0 (and possibly later for [format]),
-	(c) fixes [Bug 3120139] by making TclPrintDouble inherently
-	locale-independent, (d) adds test cases to util.test for
-	correct rounding in difficult cases of TclDoubleDigits where fixed-
-	precision results are requested. (e) adds test cases to util.test for
-	the controversial aspects of [Bug 3105247]. As a side effect, two
-	more modules from libtommath (bn_mp_set_int.c and bn_mp_init_set_int.c)
-	are brought into the build, since the new code uses them.

-	* generic/tclIORChan.c: Fixed a problem with reflected channels. 'chan
-	postevent' is defined to work only from within the interpreter
-	containing the handler command. Sensible, we want only handler
-	commands to use it. It identifies the channel by handle. The channel
-	moves to a different interpreter or thread. The interpreter containing
-	the handler command doesn't know the channel any longer. 'chan
-	postevent' fails, not finding the channel any longer. Uhm.
+	* generic/tclIO.c: Fix [Bug 2888099] (close discards ENOSPC error)

+	                   specific channel drivers. Four-hands with aku.
 
-	Fixed by creating a second per-interpreter channel table, just for
-	reflected channels, where each interpreter remembers for which
-	reflected channels it has the handler command. This info does not move
-	with the channel itself. The table is updated by 'chan create', and
-	used by 'chan postevent'.

+	Functionality unchanged.
+	(4) Moved the multiple namespace eval's around. Command export at the
+	top, everything else (var decls, argument parsing setup) at the
+	bottom.
+	(5) Moved the argument parsing setup into a procedure called when the
+	code is loaded. Easier management of temporary data.
+	(6) Replaced several uses of 'Set' with calls to the new procedure
+	'InterpState' and direct access to the per-slave state array.
+	(7) Replaced the remaining uses of 'Set' and others outside of the
+	path/token handling, and deleted a number of procedures related to
+	state array access which are not used any longer.
+	(8) Converted the path token system to cache normalized paths and path
+	<-> token conversions. Removed more procedures not used any longer.
+	Removed the test cases 4.3 and 4.4 from safe.test. They were testing
+	the now deleted command "InterpStateName".
+	(9) Changed the log command setup so that logging is compiled out
+	completely when disabled (default).
+	(10) Misc. cleanup. Inlined IsInterp into CheckInterp, its only user.
+	Consistent 'return -code error' for error reporting. Updated to use
+	modern features (lassign, in/ni, dicts). The latter are used to keep a
+	reverse path -> token map and quicker check of existence.
+	(11) Fixed [Bug 2854929]: Recurse into all subdirs under all TM root
+	dirs and put them on the access path.

-	* generic/tclDictObj.c: Changed the underlying implementation of the
-	hash table used in dictionaries to additionally keep all entries in
-	the hash table in a linked list, which is only ever added to at the
-	end. This makes iteration over all entries in the dictionary in
-	key insertion order a trivial operation, and so cleans up a great deal
-	of complexity relating to dictionary representation and stability of

+	* generic/tcl.h:        Changed the typedef for the mp_digit type
+	from:
+		typedef unsigned long mp_digit;
+	to:
+		typedef unsigned int mp_digit;
+	For 32-bit builds where "long" and "int" are two names for the same
+	thing, this is no change at all.  For 64-bit builds, though, this
+	causes the dp[] array of an mp_int to be made up of 32-bit elements
+	instead of 64-bit elements.  This is a huge improvement because details
+	elsewhere in the mp_int implementation cause only 28 bits of each
+	element to be actually used storing number data.  Without this change
+	bignums are over 50% wasted space on 64-bit systems.  [Bug 2800740].

-	* generic/tclConfig.c (Tcl_RegisterConfig): Modified to not extend the
-	config database if the encoding provided by the user is not found
-	(venc == NULL). Scripts expecting the data will error out, however we
-	neither crash nor provide bogus information. See [Bug 983509] for more
-	discussion.
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:	Re-implement Tcl_SubstObj() as a simple
+	* generic/tclParse.c:	wrapper around TclNRSubstObj().  This has
+	* tests/basic.test:	the effect of caching compiled bytecode in
+	* tests/parse.test:	the value to be substituted.  Note that
+	Tcl_SubstObj() now exists only for extensions.  Tcl itself no longer
+	makes any use of it.  Note also that TclSubstTokens() is now reachable
+	only by Tcl_EvalEx() and Tcl_ParseVar() so tests aiming to test its
+	functioning needed adjustment to still have the intended effect.
 
-	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyGetOptionProc): Accepted [Patch 1823576]
-	provided by Stuart Cassof <stwo@users.sourceforge.net>. The patch adds
-	the necessary utf/external conversions to the handling of the arguments
-	of option -xchar which will allow the use of \0 and similar characters.

-	*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** (tclInt.h and tclCompile.h)
-	Extensions that access internals defined in tclInt.h and/or
-	tclCompile.h may lose both binary and source compatibility. The
-	relevant changes are:
-	1. 'struct Var' is completely changed, all acceses to its internals
-	   (either direct or via the TclSetVar* and TclIsVar* macros) will
-	   malfunction. Var flag values and semantics changed too.
-	2. 'struct Bytecode' has an additional field that has to be
-	   initialised to NULL
-	3. 'struct Namespace' is larger, as the varTable is now one pointer
-	   larger than a Tcl_HashTable. Direct access to its fields will
-	   malfunction.
-	4. 'struct CallFrame' grew one more field (the second such growth with
-	   respect to Tcl8.4).
-	5. API change for the functions TclFindCompiledLocal, TclDeleteVars
-	   and many internal functions in tclVar.c
-
-	Additionally, direct access to variable hash tables via the standard
-	Tcl_Hash* interface is to be considered as deprecated. It still works
-	in the present version, but will be broken by further specialisation
-	of these hash tables. This concerns especially the table of array
-	elements in an array, as well as the varTable field in the Namespace
-	struct.

+	coroutine support code to create, delete and switch the information as
+	needed. Further reworked the tailcall command as well, it has to pop
+	its own arguments when run in a bytecode context to keep a proper
+	stack in 'lineLABCPtr'.
 
-2007-07-19  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+	Fixed the mishandling of line information in the NRE-enabled 'for' and

-	mostly in place to enable [info frame] to discover line information in

-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript, TclPrintInstruction):
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Changed the definition of
-	INST_START_CMD so that it knows how many commands start at the current
-	location. This makes the interpreter command counter correct without

-	return path.
-
-2007-03-28  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (STR_REVERSE):	Implement the actual [string
-	reverse] command in terms of the new TclStringObjReverse() routine.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h (TclStringObjReverse):	New internal routine

-2007-03-24  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Thread exit handler marks the current thread as

-	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ForeachObjCmd):	Replaced arrays on the
-	C stack and ckalloc calls with TclStackAlloc calls to use memory on
-	Tcl's evaluation stack.
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: Revised GrowEvaluationStack to take an
-	argument specifying the growth required by the caller, so that a

-
-	* library/clock.tcl (ReadZoneinfoFile): Added Y2038 compliance to the

-
-2007-03-08  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclListObj.c (TclLsetList):	Rewrite so that the routine

-
-2007-03-08  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclListObj.c (TclLindexList, TclLindexFlat): Moved these

-
-2007-03-08  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* library/clock.tcl: Further tweaks to the Windows time zone table
-	(restoring missing Mexican time zones). Added rudimentary handling of
-	version-2 'zoneinfo' files. Update US DST rules so that zones such as
-	'EST5EDT' get the correct transition dates.
-	* tests/clock.test: Added rudimentary test cases for 'zoneinfo'

-	Replaces defensive coding schemes that are otherwise required. End
-	result is that TclLindexList is entirely a wrapper around

-
-2007-03-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (Print*Info):	      out for debugging. For
-	this to work, immediate operands referring to aux-data must be
-	identified as such in the instruction descriptor table using

-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Rewrote the compiled

-	Better encapsulation of internal details.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	New internal routine TclListObjCopy() used
-	* generic/tclListObj.c: to efficiently do the equivalent of [lrange
-	$list 0 end]. After some experience with this, might be a good
-	candidate for exposure as a public interface. It's useful for callers

-	of the returned objv pointer.

-2007-01-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* unix/tcl.m4: integrate CPPFLAGS into CFLAGS as late as possible and

-
-2007-01-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): Reduce the frequency with
-	which we issue INST_START_CMD, making bytecode both more compact and

-
-2007-01-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c (TclMacOSXSetFileAttribute): on some versions

-2007-01-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): Make sure that when parsing

-
-	* win/makefile.vc: Fixes to work better on Win98. Read version numbers

-
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileLindexCmd):

-
-2006-12-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclEncoding.c (EscapeFromUtfProc): Clear the

-	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
-
-2006-12-17  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* tests/macOSXLoad.test (new file): add testing of .bundle loading and

-	* tests/unload.test:		    to existing tests of .dylib
-	loading).
-	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: add building of dltest
-	binaries so that testsuite run from Xcode can use them; fix testsuite

-2006-12-14  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* doc/string.n: Fix example. [Bug 1615277]
-
-2006-12-12  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Now that the new internal structs are
-	in use to support operator commands, might as well make them the
-	default for [expr] as well and avoid passing every parsed expression
-	through the inefficient Tcl_Token array format. This addresses most
-	issues in [RFE 1517602]. Assuming no performance disasters result from
-	this, much dead code supporting the other implementation might now be
-	removed.
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Final step routing all direct evaluation forms
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c: of the operator commands through TEBC,
-	* generic/tclCompile.h: dropping all the routines in tclMathOp.c.
-	* generic/tclMathOp.c:	Still needs Engineering Manual attention.
-
-2006-12-11  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Another step with all sorting operator
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c: commands now routing through TEBC via
-	* generic/tclCompile.h: TclSortingOpCmd().
-
-2006-12-08  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	 Another step down the path of re-using
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c: TclExecuteByteCode to implement the TIP 174
-	* generic/tclCompile.h: commands instead of using a mass of code
-	* generic/tclMathOp.c:	duplication. Now all operator commands that
-	* tests/mathop.test:	demand exactly one operation are implemented
-	via TclSingleOpCmd and a call to TEBC.
-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c: Revised implementation of TclInvertOpCmd to
-	* generic/tclMathOp.c:	perform a bytecode compile / execute sequence.
-	This demonstrates a path toward avoiding mountains of code duplication
-	in tclMathOp.c and tclExecute.c.
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.h: Change TclExecuteByteCode() from static to
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: MODULE_SCOPE so all files including
-	tclCompile.h may call it.
-
-	* generic/tclMathOp.c:	More revisions to make tests pass.
-	* tests/mathop.test:
-
-2006-12-08  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

-	* tests/mathop.test: Full tests for & | and ^ operators
-
-2006-12-08  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: use [info frame] for "-verbose line".
-
-2006-12-07  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:	Additional commits correct most
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:		failing tests illustrating bugs
-	* generic/tclMathOp.c:		uncovered in [Patch 1578137].
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Biggest source of TIP 174 failures was that
-	the commands were not [namespace export]ed from the ::tcl::mathop
-	namespace. More bits from [Patch 1578137] correct that.
-
-	* tests/mathop.test:	Commmitted several new tests from Peter Spjuth
-	found in [Patch 1578137]. Many failures now demonstrate issues to fix
-	in the TIP 174 implementation.
-
-2006-12-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* tests/mathop.test: Added tests for ! ~ eq operators.

-	* tests/pkg.test:	[package require $pkg] and [package unknown]
-	is invoked to find a satisfying package, pass the requirement argument
-	"0-" (which means all versions are acceptable). This permits a

-	$testVersion {*}$args] without any special handling of the empty $args
-	case. This fixes/avoids a bug in [::tcl::tm::UnknownHandler] that was
-	causing old TM versions to be provided in preference to newer TM
-	versions. Thanks to Julian Noble for discovering the issue.

-
-2006-12-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Added implementation for the
-	CompileExprTree() routine that can produce expression bytecode
-	directly from internal structures with no need to pass through the
-	Tcl_Token array representation. Still disabled by default. #undef
-	USE_EXPR_TOKENS to try it out.
-
-2006-12-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Added expr parsing routines that
-	produce a different set of internal structures representing the parsed
-	expression, as well as routines that go on to convert those structures
-	into the traditional Tcl_Token array format. Use of these routines is
-	currently disabled. #undef PARSE_DIRECT_EXPR_TOKENS to enable them.
-	These routines will only become really useful when more routines that
-	compile directly from the new internal structures are completed.

-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo):  Added

-	* generic/tclBasic.c, generic/tclNamesp.c, generic/tclProc.c:
-	* generic/tclInt.h: Removed the callObjc and callObjv fields from the
-	Interp structure. They did not function correctly and made other parts
-	of the core amazingly complex, resulting in a substantive change to
-	[info level] behaviour. [Bug 1587618]
-	* library/clock.tcl: Removed use of [info level 0] for calculating the
-	command name as used by the user and replace with a literal. What's

-	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-42.7,namespace-47.1): Reverted

-
-2006-10-30  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-
-2006-10-28  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclProc.c (ObjInterpProcEx, TclObjInterpProcCore): Split the
-	core of procedures to make it easier to build procedure-like code
-	without going through horrible contortions. This is the last critical
-	component to make advanced OO systems workable as simple loadable
-	extensions. TOIPC is now in the internal stub table.
-	(MakeProcError, MakeLambdaError): Refactored ProcessProcResultCode to
-	be simpler, some of which goes to TclObjInterpProcCore, and the rest
-	of which is now in these far simpler routines which just do errorInfo
-	stack generation for different types of procedure-like entity.

-	form of message.
-
-2006-10-27  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

-	* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclSetNsPath): Expose SetNsPath() through

-
-	* generic/tclInt.h (CallFrame): Add a field for handling context data
-	for extensions (like object systems) that should be tied to a call
-	frame (and not a command or interpreter).
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand): Change to take CONST args;
-	they were only ever used in a constant way anyway, so this appears to

-
-	* library/clock.tcl (format, scan): corrected wrong # args messages to
-	* tests/clock.test (3.1, 34.1):	    make use of the new rewrite
-	capabilities of [info level]
-
-	* generic/tcl.h:	   Lets TEOV update the iPtr->callObj[cv] new
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	   fields, except when the flag bit

-	* tests/namespace.test:	   [info level] to know and use ensemble
-	rewrites. [Bug 1577492]
-
-	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
-	The return value from [info level 0] on interp alias calls is changed:

-	* generic/tclInt.h:	   involve removing tests for a NULL
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	   iPtr->(var)framePtr. There is now a
-	* generic/tclObj.c:	   CallFrame pushed at interp creation with a
-	* generic/tclProc.c:	   pointer to it stored in iPtr->rootFramePtr.
-	* generic/tclTrace.c:	   A second unused field in Interp is
-	* generic/tclVar.c:	   hijacked to enable further functionality,
-	currently unused (but with several FRQs depending on it).
-
-	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
-	Any user that includes tclInt.h and needs to determine if it is
-	running at level 0 should change (iPtr->varFramePtr == NULL) to
-	(iPtr->varFramePtr == iPtr->rootFramePtr).

-
-	* doc/UpVar.3: brough the docs in accordance to the code. Ever since
-	8.0, Tcl_UpVar(2)? accepts TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY as a flag value, and

-
-	* tests/*.test: updated all tests to refer explicitly to the global

-
-	* generic/tclPkg.c (CompareVersions): Bugfix. Check string lengths

-
-	* generic/tclPkg.c (CompareVersion):	Flatten strcmp() results to

-
-	* generic/regc_color.c (singleton):
-	* generic/regc_cvec.c (addmcce):
-	* generic/regcomp.c (compile, dovec): the static function addmcce does
-	nothing when called with two NULL pointers; the only call is by
-	compile with two NULL pointers (regcomp.c #includes regc_cvec.c).
-	Large parts (all?) the code for mcce (multi character collating
-	element) that we do not use is ifdef'ed out with the macro
-	REGEXP_MCCE_ENABLE.
-	This silences coverity bugs 7, 16, 80
-
-	* generic/regc_color.c (uncolorchain):
-	* generic/regc_nfa.c (freearc): changed tests and asserts to
-	equivalent formulation, designed to avoid an explicit comparison to
-	NULL and satisfy coverity that 6 and 9 are not bugs.

-2006-09-27  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* tests/pkg.test: Added test for version comparison at the 32bit
-	boundary. [Bug 1563836]
-
-	* generic/tclPkg.c: Rewrote CompareVersion to perform string
-	comparison instead of numeric. This breaks through the 32bit limit on
-	version numbers. See code for details (handling of leading zeros,
-	signs, etc.). un-CONSTed some arguments of CompareVersions,
-	RequirementSatisfied, and AllRequirementsSatisfied. The new compare
-	modifies the string (temporary string terminators). All callers use
-	heap-allocated ver-intreps, so we are good with that. [Bug 1563836]
-
-2006-09-27  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclFileName.c (TclGlob): added a panic for a call with

-	as found by coverity #26.
-
-2006-09-26  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* doc/Encoding.3:	 Added covariant 'const' qualifier for the

-
-	* generic/tcl.h:	As 2006-09-22 commit from Donal K. Fellows
-	demonstrates, "#define NULL 0" is just wrong, and as a quotable chat
-	figure observed, "If NULL isn't defined, we're not using a C compiler"
-	Improper fallback definition of NULL removed.

-
-	* tests/expr-old.test:	The remaining failing tests reported in

-2006-08-29  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Use the "parent" field of orphan

-	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Completely new expression parser that

-	corrects reports of stack-blowing crashes parsing long expressions
-	[Bug 906201] and replaces a fundamentally O(N^2) algorithm with an
-	O(N) one [RFE 903765]. The new parser is better able to generate error
-	messages that clearly report both the nature and context of the syntax
-	error [Bugs 1029267, 1381715]. For now, the code for the old parser is
-	still present and can be activated with a "#define OLD_EXPR_PARSER
-	1". This is for the sake of a clean implementation patch, and for ease
-	of benchmarking. The new parser is non-recursive, so much lighter in
-	stack consumption, but it does use more heap, so there may be cases
-	where parsing of long expressions that succeeded with the old parser
-	will lead to out of memory panics with the new one. There are still
-	more improvements possible on that point, though significant progress
-	may require changes to the Tcl_Token specifications documented for the
-	public Tcl_Parse*() routines.

-	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: implemented pthread_atfork() handler that
-	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin):	    recreates CoreFoundation state and
-	notifier thread in the child after a fork(). Note that pthread_atfork
-	is available starting with Tiger only. Because vfork() is used by the
-	core on Darwin, [exec]/[open] are not affected by this fix, only
-	extensions or embedders that call fork() directly (such as TclX).
-	However, this only makes fork() safe from corefoundation tcl with
-	--disable-threads; as on all platforms, forked children may deadlock
-	in threaded tcl due to the potential for stale locked mutexes in the
-	child. [Patch 923072]

-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Added check, panic and commentary to a
-	piece of code which relies on BUFFER_PADDING to create enough space at
-	the beginning of each buffer for the insertion of partial multibyte
-	data at the beginning of a buffer. Commentary explains why this code
-	is OK, and the panic is as a precaution if someone twiddled the
-	BUFFER_PADDING into uselessness.
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Temporarily suppress the use of
-	TCL_ENCODING_END set when EOF was reached while the buffer we are
-	converting is not truly the last buffer in the queue. Together with
-	the Utf bug below it was possible to completely wreck the buffer data
-	structures, eventually crashing Tcl. [Bug 1462248]
-
-	* generic/tclEncoding.c (UtfToUtfProc): Stop accessing memory beyond
-	the end of the input buffer when TCL_ENCODING_END is set and the last

+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken):	Reverted most
+	of the substance of my 2009-01-12 commit. NULLing the objProc field of

+2009-01-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
 
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclGetOpenMode): Added the flag O_APPEND to the

-	enables the proper automatic seek-to-end-on-write by the OS. See [Bug
-	680143] for longer discussion.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): One consequence of
+	the NRE rewrite is that there are now situations where a NULL objProc
+	field in a Command struct is perfectly normal. Removed an outdated
+	comment in Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken that claimed we use
+	cmdPtr->objPtr==NULL as a test of command validity. In fact we use
+	cmdPtr->flags&CMD_IS_DELETED to perform that test. Also removed the
+	setting to NULL, since any extension following the advice of the old
+	comment is going to be broken by NRE anyway, and needs to shift to
+	flag-based testing (or stop intruding into such internal matters).
+	Part of [Bug 2486550].

-
-	* doc/fconfigure.n: Clarified that -translation is binary is reported
-	as lf when queried, because it is identical to lf, except for the
-	special additional behaviour when setting it. [Bug 666770]

-	-- Summary of changes fixing [Bug 1437595] --
-
-	* generic/tclEvent.c: Cosmetic touches and identation
-	* generic/tclInt.h: Added TclpFinalizeSockets() call.
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c: Calls TclpFinalizeSockets() as part of the
-	TclFinalizeIOSubsystem().
-
-	* unix/tclUnixSock.c: Added no-op TclpFinalizeSockets().
-
-	* win/tclWinPipe.c, win/tclWinSock.c: Finalization of sockets/pipes is
-	now solely done in TclpFinalizeSockets() and TclpFinalizePipes() and
-	not over the thread-exit handler, because the order of actions the Tcl
-	generic core will impose may result in cores/hangs if the thread exit
-	handler tears down corresponding subsystem(s) too early.
-
-2006-03-10  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
-
-	* win/tclWinFile.c: previous patch breaks tests, so removed.

-2006-03-01  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
-
-	* unix/installManPage: Fix the script for manpages that have quotes

-	Some minor cleanups and improvements.
-
-2006-02-28  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Corrections to be sure that TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL
-	* tests/namespace.test: evaluations act the same as [uplevel #0]
-	* tests/parse.test:	evaluations, even when execution traces or
-	* tests/trace.test:	invocations of [::unknown] are present. [Bug
-	1439836]
-
-2006-02-22  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-2006-02-15  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-

-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
-
-2006-02-09  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	TIP#215 IMPLEMENTATION
-
-	* doc/incr.n:		Revised [incr] to auto-initialize when varName

-
-2006-01-26  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel): Tidy up and comment the
-	mess to do with setting up serial channels. This (deliberately) breaks
-	a broken FreeBSD port, indicates what we're really doing, and reduces
-	the amount of conditional compilation sections for better maintenance.

+2009-01-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
 
-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): Improved conditions on when

+	memory allocation requests to the sizes that can be supported by Tcl's
+	memory allocation routines. [Bug 2494093]

-	* tests/string.test (string-12.21): Added test for [Bug 1410553] based
-	on original bug report.
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceEnsembleCmd): Error out when someone
+	gives wrong # of args to [namespace ensemble create]. [Bug 1558654]
 
-2006-01-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+2009-01-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-	Tcl_GetRange. Thanks to twylite and Peter Spjuth. [Bug 1410553]

+	required to get correct results out of things like
+	STRING_UALLOC(num + append). [Bug 2494093]

+	"You gave me the wrong number of arguments".
 
-	* generic/tclPipe.c (FileForRedirect): Prevent nameString from being
-	freed without having been initialized.
-	* tests/exec.test: Added a test for the above.

-2006-01-12  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+	* doc/dict.n: Added more examples. [Tk Bug 2491235]
 
-	* generic/tclPathObj.c (Tcl_FSGetInternalRep): backported patch from
-	core-8-4-branch. A freed pointer has been overwritten causing all
-	sorts of coredumps.
+	* tests/oo.test (oo-22.1): Adjusted test to be less dependent on the
+	specifics of how [info frame] reports general frame information, and
+	instead to focus on what methods add to it; that's really what the
+	test is about anyway.
 
-2006-01-12  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
+2009-01-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
 
-	* win/tclWinFile.c: fix to sharing violation [Bug 1366227]
+	* tests/stringObj.test:	Revise tests that demand a NULL Tcl_ObjType

+	there's no lack of robustness depending on the shimmer history of
+	shared literals.

+2009-01-06  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
 
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Moved Tcl_LogCommandInfo from tclBasic.c to
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	tclNamesp.c to get access to identifier with
-	* tests/error.test (error-7.0): file scope. Added check for traces on
-	::errorInfo, and when present fall back to contruction of the stack
-	trace in the variable so that write trace notification timings are
-	compatible with earlier Tcl releases. This reduces, but does not
-	completely eliminate the ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** created by
-	the 2004-10-15 commit. [Bug 1397843]
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictIncrCmd): Corrected twiddling in internals
+	of dictionaries so that literals can't get destroyed.
 
-2006-01-10  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+	* tests/expr.test: Eliminate non-ASCII char. [Bug 2006879]
 
-	* unix/configure:    add caching, use AC_CACHE_CHECK instead of
-	* unix/configure.in: AC_CACHE_VAL where possible, consistent message
-	* unix/tcl.m4:	     quoting, sync relevant tclconfig/tcl.m4 changes
-	and gratuitous formatting differences, fix SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES with
-	default argument, Darwin improvements to SC_LOAD_*CONFIG.
+	* generic/tclOOInfo.c (InfoObjectMethodsCmd,InfoClassMethodsCmd): Only
+	delete pointers that were actually allocated! [Bug 2489836]
 
-2006-01-09  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+	* generic/tclOO.c (TclNRNewObjectInstance, Tcl_NewObjectInstance):
+	Perform search for existing commands in right context. [Bug 2481109]
 
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceInscopeCmd):	[namespace inscope]
-	* tests/namespace.test: commands were not reported by [info level].
-	[Bug 1400572]
+2009-01-05  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
 
-2006-01-09  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclNRSourceObjCmd): Make implementation of the
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclNREvalFile):    [source] command be NRE
+	enabled so that [yield] inside a script sourced in a coroutine can
+	work. [Bug 2412068]
 
-	* generic/tclTrace.c: Stop exporting the guts of the trace command;
-	nothing outside this file needs to see it. [Bug 971336]
+2009-01-04  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
 
-2006-01-05  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: Tidy up spacing and code style.
 
-	* unix/tcl.m4 (TCL_CONFIG_SYSTEM): Factor out the code to determine
-	the operating system version number, as it was replicated in several
-	places.
+2009-01-03  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
 
-2006-01-04  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+	* library/clock.tcl (tcl::clock::add): Fixed error message formatting
+	in the case where [clock add] is presented with a bad switch.
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-65.1) Added a test case for the above
+	problem [Bug 2481670].
 
-	* win/tclAppInit.c: WIN32 native console signal handler removed. This
-	was found to be interfering with TWAPI extension one. IMO, special
-	services such as signal handlers should best be done with extensions
-	to the core after discussions on c.l.t. about Roy Terry's tclsh
-	children of a real windows service shell.
+2009-01-02  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Force the use of the compatibility
+	version of mkstemp() on IRIX. [Bug 878333]
+	* unix/configure.in, unix/Makefile.in (mkstemp.o):
+	* compat/mkstemp.c (new file): Added a compatibility implementation of
+	the mkstemp() function, which is apparently needed on some platforms.

+2007-12-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: More [lsort] data handling streamlines. The
+	function MergeSort is gone, essentially inlined into Tcl_LsortObjCmd.

+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: More [lsort] data handling streamlines. Extra

+	Improved -unique handling, now eliminating repeated elems immediately
+	instead of marking them to avoid reinsertion at the end.

+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Adjusted the [switch]
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd):       command so that when
+	passed two arguments, no check for options are performed. This is OK
+	since in the two-arg case, detecting an option would definitely lead
+	to a syntax error. [Patch 1836519]
+
+2007-11-29  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: add ws2_32.lib to baselibs

+
+2007-11-29  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+	internals of ensembles work. [Bug 1436096]
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c:	Simplify test and improve accuracy of error
+	message in latest changes.

+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Fix stack checking via workaround for bug in
+	glibc's pthread_attr_get_np, patch from [Bug 1815573]. Many thanks to
+	Sergei Golovan (aka Teo) for detecting the bug and helping diagnose
+	and develop the fix.
+
+2007-11-24  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictAppendCmd): Fix bug in [dict
+	append] compiler which caused strange stack corruption. [Bug 1837392]
+
+2007-11-23  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c: Fixed a problem with reflected channels. 'chan
+	postevent' is defined to work only from within the interpreter
+	containing the handler command. Sensible, we want only handler
+	commands to use it. It identifies the channel by handle. The channel
+	moves to a different interpreter or thread. The interpreter containing
+	the handler command doesn't know the channel any longer. 'chan
+	postevent' fails, not finding the channel any longer. Uhm.
+
+	Fixed by creating a second per-interpreter channel table, just for
+	reflected channels, where each interpreter remembers for which
+	reflected channels it has the handler command. This info does not move
+	with the channel itself. The table is updated by 'chan create', and
+	used by 'chan postevent'.
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test: Updated the testsuite.
+
+2007-11-23  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): handle the right data for
+	* tests/var.test (var-14.2):	      [array names $var -glob $ptn]
+
+2007-11-23  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (String*Cmd, TclInitStringCmd): Rebuilt [string]
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileString*Cmd): as an ensemble.
+
+2007-11-22  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (Dict*Cmd,TclInitDictCmd): Rebuilt the [dict]
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDict*Cmd): command as an ensemble.
+
+2007-11-22  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Rewrote the [string] and
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (Tcl_DictObjCmd): [dict] implementations to be
+	ready for conversion to ensembles.
+
+	* tests/string.test (string-12.22): Flag shimmering bug found in
+	[string range].
+
+2007-11-21  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileEnsemble): Rewrote the ensemble
+	compiler to remove many of the limitations. Can now compile scripts
+	that use unique prefixes of subcommands, and which have mappings of a
+	command to multiple words (provided the first is a compilable command
+	of course).
+
+2007-11-21  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclMakeEnsemble): Factor out the code to set up
+	a core ensemble from a table of information about subcommands, ready
+	for reuse within the core.
+
+	* generic/various: Start to return more useful Error codes, currently
+	mainly on assorted lookup failures.
+
+2007-11-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c: Changed the underlying implementation of the
+	hash table used in dictionaries to additionally keep all entries in
+	the hash table in a linked list, which is only ever added to at the
+	end. This makes iteration over all entries in the dictionary in
+	key insertion order a trivial operation, and so cleans up a great deal
+	of complexity relating to dictionary representation and stability of
+	iteration order.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	For any code that depended on the (strange) old iteration order.
+
+	* generic/tclConfig.c (QueryConfigObjCmd): Correct usage of
+	Tcl_WrongNumArgs.
+
+2007-11-19  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileInfoExistsCmd): Compiler for the
+	[info exists] subcommand.
+	(TclCompileEnsemble): Cleaned up version of ensemble compiler that was
+	in TclCompileInfoCmd, but which is now much more generally applicable.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (ENSEMBLE_COMPILE): Added flag to allow for cleaner
+	turning on and off of ensemble bytecode compilation.
+

+	[Bug 1810038]
+
+	* generic/regc_nfa.c:	Corrected looping logic in fixempties() to
+	avoid wasting time walking a list of dead states. [Bug 1832612]
+
+2007-11-15  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceEnsembleCmd): Must pass a non-NULL
+	interp to Tcl_SetEnsemble* functions.
+
+	* doc/re_syntax.n: Try to make this easier to read. It's still a very
+	difficult manual page!
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Allow people to turn off the -rpath
+	option to their linker if they so desire. This is a configuration only
+	recommended for (some) vendors. Relates to [Patch 1231022].
+
+2007-11-15  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Prefer UINT_PTR to DWORD_PTR when casting
+	pointers to integer types for greater portability. [Bug 1831253]
+
+2007-11-15  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+2007-11-14  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): Ensure that we get our

+	to compile a command directly.
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_SetEnsembleSubcommandList)
+	(Tcl_SetEnsembleMappingDict):		Special code to make sure that
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (TclInitInfoCmd):	[info exists] is compiled
+	right while not allowing changes to the ensemble to cause havok.
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileInfoCmd): Simple compiler for the
+	[info] command that only handles [info exists].
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode:INST_EXIST_*): New
+	instructions to allow the testing of whether a variable exists.
+
+2007-11-14  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

+	* tests/chanio.test: New file. This is essentially a duplicate of
+	'io.test', with all channel commands converted to their 'chan xxx'
+	notation.
+	* tests/io.test: Fixed typo in test description.
+
+2007-11-14  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/regc*.c: Eliminate multi-char collating element code
+	completely. Simplifies the code quite a bit. If people still want the
+	full code, it will remain on the 8.4 branch. [Bug 1831425]
+
+2007-11-13  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+
+	* generic/regc*.c: #ifdef/comment out the code that deals with
+	multi-character collating elements, which have never been supported.
+	Cuts the memory consumption of the RE compiler. [Bug 1831425]
+
+2007-11-13  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd, TclCompileRegexpCmd):
+	Extend [switch] compiler to handle regular expressions as long as
+	things are not too complex. Fix [regexp] compiler so that non-trivial
+	literal regexps get fed to INST_REGEXP.
+
+	* doc/mathop.n: Clarify definitions of some operations.
+
+2007-11-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: the TCL_NO_STACK_CHECK was being incorrectly
+	undefined here; this should be set (or not) in the compile options, it
+	is used elsewhere and needs to be consistent.
+

+
+2007-11-13  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/regcomp.c:	Convert optst() from expensive no-op to a
+	cheap no-op.
+
+2007-11-13  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (CreateSocketAddress): Rewrote to use the
+	thread-safe version of gethostbyname() by forward-porting the code
+	used in 8.4, and added rudimentary support for getaddrinfo() (not
+	enabled by default, as no autoconf-ery written). Part of fix for [Bug
+	1618235].
+
+2007-11-12  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclGet.c (Tcl_Get, Tcl_GetInt): revert use of TclGet* macros
+	due to compiler warning. These cases won't save time either.
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclReToGlob): add more comments, set interp
+	result if specified on error.
+
+2007-11-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:		New macro TclResetResult, new iPtr
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:		flag bit INTERP_RESULT_UNCLEAN:

+	* generic/tclProc.c:		"normal" case: TCL_OK, no return

+	* generic/tclUtil.c:		1830184]
+
+	THIS PATCH WAS REVERTED: initial (mis)measurements overstated the

+2007-11-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (ResetObjResult): clarify the logic.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:		Increased usage of macros to detect
+	* generic/tclBinary.c:		and take advantage of objTypes. Added
+	* generic/tclClock.c:		macros TclGet(Int|Long)FromObj,
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:		TclGetIntForIndexM & TclListObjLength,
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:		modified TclListObjGetElements.

+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Fix stack check failure case if stack grows up

+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Restore simpler behaviour for stack checking, not
+	adaptive to stack size changes after a thread is launched. Consensus
+	is that "nobody does that", and so it is not worth the cost. Improved
+	failure comments (mistachkin).
+
+2007-11-10  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Rewrote the Windows stack checking algorithm to
+	use information from VirtualQuery to determine the bound of the stack.
+	This change fixes a bug where the guard page of the stack was never
+	restored after an overflow. It also eliminates a nasty piece of
+	assembly code for structured exception handling on mingw. It
+	introduces an assumption that the stack is a single memory arena
+	returned from VirtualAlloc, but the code in MSVCRT makes the same
+	assumption, so it should be fairly safe.

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Modify the stack checking algorithm to recheck in
+	case of failure. The working assumptions are now that (a) a thread's
+	stack is never moved, and (b) a thread's stack can grow but not
+	shrink. Port to windows - could be more efficient, but is already
+	cheaper than it was.

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclUnixInit.c:

+
+2007-11-09  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+	(DoWriteChars): Special case for 1-byte channel write.
+
+2007-11-06  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Version of the embedded iso8859-1 encoding
+	handler that is faster (functions to do the encoding know exactly what
+	they're doing instead of pulling it from a table, though the table
+	itself has to be retained for use by shift encodings that depend on
+	iso8859-1). [Patch 1826906], committing for dkf.
+
+2007-11-05  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclConfig.c (Tcl_RegisterConfig): Modified to not extend the
+	config database if the encoding provided by the user is not found
+	(venc == NULL). Scripts expecting the data will error out, however we
+	neither crash nor provide bogus information. See [Bug 983509] for more
+	discussion.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyGetOptionProc): Accepted [Patch 1823576]
+	provided by Stuart Cassof <stwo@users.sourceforge.net>. The patch adds
+	the necessary utf/external conversions to the handling of the
+	arguments of option -xchar which will allow the use of \0 and similar
+	characters.
+
+2007-11-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c (TestSetCmd2):

+
+	* doc/refchan.n: Adjust internal name to be consistent with the file
+	name for reduced user confusion. After comment by Dan Steffen.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd, UniCharIsAscii): Remember, the

+2007-10-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+

+	concatenees being empty objs. [Bug 1447328]
+
+2007-10-28  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclInitEncodingSubsystem): Hard code the
+	iso8859-1 encoding, as it's needed for more than just text (especially
+	binary encodings...) Note that other encodings rely on the encoding
+	being a table encoding (!) so we can't use more efficient encoding
+	mapping functions.
+
+2007-10-27  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/regc_lex.c (lexescape): Close off one of the problems

+
+	*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** (tclInt.h and tclCompile.h)
+	Extensions that access internals defined in tclInt.h and/or
+	tclCompile.h may lose both binary and source compatibility. The
+	relevant changes are:
+	1. 'struct Var' is completely changed, all acceses to its internals
+	   (either direct or via the TclSetVar* and TclIsVar* macros) will
+	   malfunction. Var flag values and semantics changed too.
+	2. 'struct Bytecode' has an additional field that has to be
+	   initialised to NULL
+	3. 'struct Namespace' is larger, as the varTable is now one pointer
+	   larger than a Tcl_HashTable. Direct access to its fields will
+	   malfunction.
+	4. 'struct CallFrame' grew one more field (the second such growth with
+	   respect to Tcl8.4).
+	5. API change for the functions TclFindCompiledLocal, TclDeleteVars
+	   and many internal functions in tclVar.c
+
+	Additionally, direct access to variable hash tables via the standard
+	Tcl_Hash* interface is to be considered as deprecated. It still works
+	in the present version, but will be broken by further specialisation
+	of these hash tables. This concerns especially the table of array
+	elements in an array, as well as the varTable field in the Namespace
+	struct.

+
+2007-07-31  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetVariables): Use the thread-safe getpwuid

+
+2007-07-30  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC, TclGetSrcInfoForCmd):
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TclCheck(Interp|Execution)Traces):
+	Removed the need for TEBC to inspect the command before calling TEOvI,
+	leveraging the TIP 280 infrastructure. Moved the generation of a
+	correct nul-terminated command string away from the trace code, back
+	into TEOvI/GetCommandSource.

+	* library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: where identifiers not matching
+	* unix/Makefile.in: the special linux and solaris forms would not
+	* win/Makefile.in: get 'tcl' as an acceptable platform added to
+	* doc/platform.n: the result. Bumped package to version 1.0.3 and
+	* doc/platform_shell.n: updated documentation and Makefiles. Also
+	fixed bad version info in the documentation of platform::shell.
+
+2007-07-19  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c:	In contexts where interp and parsePtr->interp
+	might be different, be sure to use the latter for error reporting.
+	Also pulled the interp argument back out of ParseTokens() since we
+	already had a parsePtr->interp to work with.
+
+2007-07-18  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Removed unused arguments and variables
+
+2007-07-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (ParseExpr):	While adding comments to
+	explain the operations of ParseExpr(), made significant revisions to
+	the code so it would be easier to explain, and in the process made the
+	code simpler and clearer as well.
+
+2007-07-15  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	More commentary.
+	* tests/parseExpr.test:		Several tests of syntax error messages

+	visible the context relevant to the reported error.
+
+2007-07-12  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Factored out, corrected, and commented
+	common code for reporting syntax errors in LEAF elements.

+2007-07-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileWhileCmd):
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript):
+	Corrected faulty avoidance of INST_START_CMD when the first opcode in
+	a script is within a loop (as produced by 'while 1'), so that the
+	corresponding command is properly counted. [Bug 1752146]
+
+2007-07-11  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Added a "parseOnly" flag argument to
+	ParseExpr() to indicate whether the caller is Tcl_ParseExpr(), with an
+	end goal of filling a Tcl_Parse with Tcl_Tokens representing the
+	parsed expression, or TclCompileExpr() with the goal of compiling and
+	executing the expression. In the latter case, more aggressive
+	conversion of QUOTED and BRACED lexeme to literals is done. In the
+	former case, all such conversion is avoided, since Tcl_Token
+	production would revert it anyway. This enables simplifications to the
+	GenerateTokensForLiteral() routine as well.
+
+2007-07-10  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Added a field for operator precedence
+	to be stored directly in the parse tree. There's no memory cost to
+	this addition, since that memory would have been lost to alignment
+	issues anyway. Also, converted precedence definitions and lookup
+	tables to use symbolic constants instead of raw number for improved
+	readability, and continued extending/improving/correcting comments.
+	Removed some unused counter variables. Renamed some variables for
+	clarity and replaced some cryptic logic with more readable macros.
+
+2007-07-09  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Revision so that the END lexeme never
+	gets inserted into the parse tree. Later tree traversal never reaches
+	it since its location in the tree is not variable. Starting and
+	stopping with the START lexeme (node 0) is sufficient. Also finished
+	lexeme code commentary.
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Added missing creation and return of
+	the Tcl_Parse fields that indicate error conditions. [Bug 1749987]
+
+2007-07-05  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/init.tcl (unknown):	Corrected inconsistent error message
+	in interactive [unknown] when empty command is invoked. [Bug 1743676]

+

+	ckfree/ckalloc when the old structs can be reused.
+
+2007-07-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c: Fix case where a FQ cmd or ns was being cached

+
+2007-07-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Revised #define values so that there
+	is now more expansion room to define more BINARY operators.
+
+2007-07-02  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (CompareStringKeys): Always use the strcmp()
+	version; the operation is functionally equivalent, the speed is
+	identical (up to measurement limitations), and yet the code is
+	simpler. [FRQ 951168]
+
+2007-07-02  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Removed TCL_PRESERVE_BINARY_COMPATIBILITY and
+	* generic/tclHash.c:	any code enabled when it is set to 0. We will
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:	always want to preserve binary compat
+	of the structs that appear in the interface through the 8.* series of
+	releases, so it's pointless to drag around this never-enabled
+	alternative.
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c:	Removed dead code.
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c:
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Removed dead code, old implementations
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:	of expr parsing and compiling, including the
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	routine TclFinalizeCompilation().
+
+2007-06-30  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Plug a memory leak caused by a

+
+2007-06-30  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclThread.c: Prevent RemeberSyncObj() from growing the sync

+	discussion on Bug 1726873 for more information.
+
+2007-06-29  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/DictObj.3 (Tcl_DictObjDone): Improved documentation of this
+	function to make it clearer how to use it. [Bug 1710795]
+
+2007-06-29  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclAlloc.c:		on Darwin, ensure memory allocated by
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c:	the custom TclpAlloc()s is aligned to
+	16 byte boundaries (as is the case with the Darwin system malloc).
+
+	* generic/tclGetDate.y: use ckalloc/ckfree instead of malloc/free.
+	* generic/tclDate.c:	bison 1.875e
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalEx): fix warnings.
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: better support for renamed tcl

+
+2007-06-25  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+

+	streamlining.
+
+2007-06-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclDeleteCompiledLocalVars): removed inlining that
+	ended up not really optimising (limited benchmarks). Now calling
+	UnsetVarStruct (streamlined old code is #ifdef'ed out, in case better
+	benchmarks do show a difference).
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (UnsetVarStruct): fixed a leak introduced in last
+	commit.
+
+2007-06-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (UnsetVarStruct, TclDeleteVars): made the logic

+
+	*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** (tclInt.h and Var struct users)
+	The core never builds VAR_LINK variable to have traces. Such a

+	easier for callers to use (or more precisely, harder to misuse).
+	TclStackFree now takes a (void *) argument which is the pointer

+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Split TEOv in two, by separating a processor

+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Moved the generation of command strings for

+	* generic/tclExecute.c: new macros OBJ_AT_TOS, OBJ_UNDER_TOS,
+	OBJ_AT_DEPTH(n) and CURR_DEPTH that remove all direct references to
+	tosPtr from TEBC (after initialisation and the code at the label
+	cleanupV_pushObjResultPtr).
+
+2007-04-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: moved all exceptDepth management to the
+	macros - the decreasing half was managed by hand.
+
+2007-04-10  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclNewLiteralStringObj): New macro to make
+	allocating literal string objects (i.e. objects whose value is a
+	constant string) easier and more efficient, by allowing the omission
+	of the length argument. Based on [Patch 1529526] (afredd)
+	* generic/*.c: Make use of this (in many files).

+	* generic/tclNamespace.c (NsEnsembleImplementationCmd):
+	* generic/tclProc.c (InitCompiledLocals, ObjInterpProcEx)
+	(TclObjInterpProcCore, ProcCompileProc): Code reordering to reduce

+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript, TclPrintInstruction):
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Changed the definition of
+	INST_START_CMD so that it knows how many commands start at the current
+	location. This makes the interpreter command counter correct without
+	requiring a large number of instructions to be issued. (See my change
+	from 2007-01-19 for what triggered this.)
+
+2007-03-30  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:

+2007-03-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_ApplyObjCmd):
+	* tests/apply.test (9.3): Fixed Tcl_Obj leak on error return; an

+	return path.
+
+2007-03-28  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (STR_REVERSE):	Implement the actual [string
+	reverse] command in terms of the new TclStringObjReverse() routine.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclStringObjReverse):	New internal routine
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (TclStringObjReverse): that implements the

+
+2007-03-24  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Thread exit handler marks the current thread as
+	un-initialized. This allows exit handlers that are registered later to
+	re-initialize this subsystem in case they need to use some sync
+	primitives (cond variables) from this file again.
+
+2007-03-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc): pop the root frame pointer

+
+2007-03-23  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: Added code to keep a Cygwin path name from leaking

+
+2007-03-22  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ForeachObjCmd):	Replaced arrays on the
+	C stack and ckalloc calls with TclStackAlloc calls to use memory on
+	Tcl's evaluation stack.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Revised GrowEvaluationStack to take an
+	argument specifying the growth required by the caller, so that a
+	single reallocation / copy is the most that will ever be needed even
+	when required growth is large.
+
+2007-03-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2007-03-09  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl (ReadZoneinfoFile): Added Y2038 compliance to the

+	* tests/clock.test (clock-56.3): Added a test case for Y2038 and
+	'zoneinfo'. Modified test initialisation to use the

+	for the registry library.
+
+2007-03-08  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclListObj.c (TclLsetList):	Rewrite so that the routine
+	itself does not do any direct intrep surgery. Better isolates those

+
+2007-03-08  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclListObj.c (TclLindexList, TclLindexFlat): Moved these

+
+2007-03-08  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl: Further tweaks to the Windows time zone table
+	(restoring missing Mexican time zones). Added rudimentary handling of
+	version-2 'zoneinfo' files. Update US DST rules so that zones such as
+	'EST5EDT' get the correct transition dates.
+	* tests/clock.test: Added rudimentary test cases for 'zoneinfo'

+	result is that TclLindexList is entirely a wrapper around

+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LreverseObjCmd):	Added missing

+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_JoinObjCmd):	Revised [join] implementation

+	this to work, immediate operands referring to aux-data must be
+	identified as such in the instruction descriptor table using

+	Better encapsulation of internal details.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	New internal routine TclListObjCopy() used
+	* generic/tclListObj.c: to efficiently do the equivalent of [lrange
+	$list 0 end]. After some experience with this, might be a good
+	candidate for exposure as a public interface. It's useful for callers

+	of the returned objv pointer.

+
+2006-12-12  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Now that the new internal structs are
+	in use to support operator commands, might as well make them the
+	default for [expr] as well and avoid passing every parsed expression
+	through the inefficient Tcl_Token array format. This addresses most

+	this, much dead code supporting the other implementation might now be
+	removed.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Final step routing all direct evaluation forms
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c: of the operator commands through TEBC,
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: dropping all the routines in tclMathOp.c.

+
+2006-12-08  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	 Another step down the path of re-using
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c: TclExecuteByteCode to implement the TIP 174
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: commands instead of using a mass of code
+	* generic/tclMathOp.c:	duplication. Now all operator commands that
+	* tests/mathop.test:	demand exactly one operation are implemented
+	via TclSingleOpCmd and a call to TEBC.
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c: Revised implementation of TclInvertOpCmd to
+	* generic/tclMathOp.c:	perform a bytecode compile / execute sequence.
+	This demonstrates a path toward avoiding mountains of code duplication
+	in tclMathOp.c and tclExecute.c.
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: Change TclExecuteByteCode() from static to

+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Biggest source of TIP 174 failures was that

+
+	* tests/mathop.test:	Commmitted several new tests from Peter Spjuth

+
+2006-12-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (ObjInterpProcEx, TclObjInterpProcCore): Split the

+	* generic/tclObj.c:	   CallFrame pushed at interp creation with a
+	* generic/tclProc.c:	   pointer to it stored in iPtr->rootFramePtr.
+	* generic/tclTrace.c:	   A second unused field in Interp is
+	* generic/tclVar.c:	   hijacked to enable further functionality,
+	currently unused (but with several FRQs depending on it).
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Any user that includes tclInt.h and needs to determine if it is
+	running at level 0 should change (iPtr->varFramePtr == NULL) to

+
+2006-10-16  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPkg.c (ExactRequirement):	Plugged memory leak. Also
+	changed Tcl_Alloc()/Tcl_Free() calls to ckalloc()/ckfree() for easier
+	memory debugging in the future. [Bug 1568373]
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Revise tcltest bump to 2.3a1.
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: This permits more features to be
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	added to tcltest before we reach version 2.3.0
+	* win/Makefile.in:	best timed to match the release of Tcl 8.5.0.
+	* win/makefile.vc:	This also serves as a demo of TIP 268 features
+
+2006-10-13  Colin McCormack <coldstore@users.sf.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: corrected erroneous attempt to protect against

+	[Bug 1575837].
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: alfredd supplied patch to fix [Bug 1575837]
+
+2006-10-13  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpThreadGetStackSize): on Darwin, use

+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59

+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (ApplyObjCmd):

+
+2006-10-12  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+

+
+2006-10-11  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2006-10-10  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes:	Updates for 8.5a5 release.
+
+	* generic/tclNamespace.c (TclTeardownNamespace):  After the
+	commandPathSourceList of a namespace is cleared, set the
+	commandPathSourceList to NULL so we don't try to walk the list a
+	second time, possibly after it is freed. [Bug 1566526]
+	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-51.16):	Added test.
+
+2006-10-09  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/UpVar.3: brough the docs in accordance to the code. Ever since
+	8.0, Tcl_UpVar(2)? accepts TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY as a flag value, and
+	var-3.4 tests for proper behaviour. The docs only allowed 0 and
+	TCL_GLOBAL_ONLY. [Bug 1574099]
+
+2006-10-09  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/*.test: updated all tests to refer explicitly to the global
+	variables ::errorInfo, ::errorCode, ::env and ::tcl_platform: many
+	were relying on the alternative lookup in the global namespace, that
+	feature is tested specifically in namespace and variable tests.
+
+	The modified testfiles are: apply.test, basic.test, case.test,

+
+2006-10-01  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/Eval.3 (TclEvalObjv): added note on refCount management for the

+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_SplitList): optimisation, [Patch 1344747] by

+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclObj.c:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: added an internal function TclObjBeingDeleted

+	1512138]
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:
+	* generic/tclHistory.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclProc.c: made Tcl_RecordAndEvalObj not call "history" if

+	tclCompile.c
+
+2006-09-28  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclPkg.c (CompareVersions): Bugfix. Check string lengths
+	* tests/pkg.test: before comparison. The shorter string is the smaller
+	number. Added testcases as well. Interestingly all existing test cases
+	for vcompare compared numbers of the same length with each other. [Bug
+	1563836]
+
+2006-09-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetsObj): added two test'n'panic guards for
+	possible NULL derefs, [Bug 1566382] and coverity #33.
+
+2006-09-27  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Corrected error in INST_LSHIFT in the
+	* tests/expr.test:	calculation done to determine whether a shift
+	in the (long int) type is possible. The calculation had literal value
+	"1" where it needed a value "1L" to compute the correct result. Error
+	detected via testing with the math::bigfloat package [Bug 1567222]
+
+	* generic/tclPkg.c (CompareVersion):	Flatten strcmp() results to
+	{-1, 0, 1} to match expectations of CompareVersion() callers.
+
+2006-09-27  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/regc_color.c (singleton):
+	* generic/regc_cvec.c (addmcce):
+	* generic/regcomp.c (compile, dovec): the static function addmcce does
+	nothing when called with two NULL pointers; the only call is by
+	compile with two NULL pointers (regcomp.c #includes regc_cvec.c).
+	Large parts (all?) the code for mcce (multi character collating
+	element) that we do not use is ifdef'ed out with the macro
+	REGEXP_MCCE_ENABLE.
+	This silences coverity bugs 7, 16, 80
+
+	* generic/regc_color.c (uncolorchain):
+	* generic/regc_nfa.c (freearc): changed tests and asserts to
+	equivalent formulation, designed to avoid an explicit comparison to
+	NULL and satisfy coverity that 6 and 9 are not bugs.
+
+2006-09-27  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/pkg.test: Added test for version comparison at the 32bit
+	boundary. [Bug 1563836]
+
+	* generic/tclPkg.c: Rewrote CompareVersion to perform string
+	comparison instead of numeric. This breaks through the 32bit limit on
+	version numbers. See code for details (handling of leading zeros,
+	signs, etc.). un-CONSTed some arguments of CompareVersions,
+	RequirementSatisfied, and AllRequirementsSatisfied. The new compare
+	modifies the string (temporary string terminators). All callers use
+	heap-allocated ver-intreps, so we are good with that. [Bug 1563836]
+
+2006-09-27  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (TclGlob): added a panic for a call with
+	TCL_GLOBMODE_TAILS and pathPrefix==NULL. This would cause a segfault,
+	as found by coverity #26.
+
+2006-09-26  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* doc/Encoding.3:	 Added covariant 'const' qualifier for the
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	 Tcl_EncodingType argument to
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Tcl_CreateEncoding. [Further TIP#27 work.]
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	 Reran 'make genstubs'.
+
+2006-09-26  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc:  Additional compiler flags and amd64 support.
+	* win/nmakehlp.c:
+	* win/rules.vc:
+
+2006-09-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	As 2006-09-22 commit from Donal K. Fellows
+	demonstrates, "#define NULL 0" is just wrong, and as a quotable chat
+	figure observed, "If NULL isn't defined, we're not using a C compiler"
+	Improper fallback definition of NULL removed.
+
+2006-09-25  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	More fixing which struct stat to refer to.
+	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Some casts from time_t to int required.
+	* generic/tclTimer.c:	Tcl_Time structure members are longs.
+	* win/makefile.vc:	Support for varying compiler options
+	* win/rules.vc:		and build to platform-specific subdirs.
+
+2006-09-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_StackChannel): Fixed [Bug 1564642], aka
+	coverity #51. Extended loop condition, added checking for NULL to
+	prevent seg.fault.
+
+2006-09-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* doc/package.n: Fixed nits reported by Daniel Steffen in the TIP#268
+	changes.
+
+2006-09-25  Kevin B. Kenny   <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclNotify.c (Tcl_DeleteEvents): Simplified the code in hopes
+	of making the invariants clearer and proving to Coverity that the
+	event queue memory is managed correctly.
+
+2006-09-25  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNotify.c (Tcl_DeleteEvents): Make it clear what happens

+
+2006-09-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseCommand): also return an error if
+	start==NULL and numBytes<0. This is coverity's bug #20
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_SIZE): fix allocation for 0-length
+	strings. This is coverity's bugs #54-5
+
+2006-09-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Moved TIP#268's field 'packagePrefer' to the end

+
+	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c (PadBuffer): Fixed bug in calculation of the

+2006-07-30  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c (GetJulianDayFromEraYearMonthDay): Corrected

+	* library/clock.tcl: Corrected syntax errors in generated code for %EC
+	%Ey, and %W format groups [Bug 1505383]. Corrected a bug in cache

+	1494664]. Corrected several errors in formatting/scanning of years
+	prior to the Common Era, and added the missing %EE format group to
+	indicate the era.
+	* tools/makeTestCases.tcl: Added code to make sure that %U and %V
+	format groups are included in the tests. (The code depends on %U and
+	%V formatting working correctly when 'makeTestCases.tcl' is run,
+	rather than making a completely independent check.) Added tests for
+	[glob] metacharacters in strings. Added tests for years prior to the
+	Common Era.

+
+2006-07-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier, Tcl_WaitForEvent):
+	create notifier thread lazily upon first call to Tcl_WaitForEvent()
+	rather than in Tcl_InitNotifier(). Allows calling exeve() in processes
+	where the event loop has not yet been run (Darwin's execve() fails in
+	processes with more than one thread), in particular allows embedders
+	to call fork() followed by execve(), previously the pthread_atfork()
+	child handler's call to Tcl_InitNotifier() would immediately recreate
+	the notifier thread in the child after a fork.
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c (TclMacOSXCopyFileAttributes):	   add support
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier):		   for weakly
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (Tcl_GetEncodingNameFromEnvironment): importing

+	AvailabilityMacros.h inclusion; only disable realpath on 10.2 or

+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadMemoryGetBuffer): change runtime Darwin
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform):	release check to use
+							global initialized
+							once
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, TclpObjNormalizePath): add runtime
+	Darwin release check to determine if realpath is threadsafe.
+	* unix/configure.in: add check on Darwin for compiler support of weak
+	* unix/tcl.m4:	     import and for AvailabilityMacros.h header; move
+	Darwin specific checks & defines that are only relevant to the tcl
+	build out of tcl.m4; restrict framework option to Darwin; clean up

+
+2006-07-13  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: Added the inclusion of <AvailabilityMacros.h>.
+	The missing header caused the upcoming #if conditions to wrongly
+	exclude realpath, causing file normalize to ignore symbolic links in
+	the path.
+
+2006-07-11  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclAsync.c: Made Tcl_AsyncDelete() more tolerant when called
+	after all thread TSD has been garbage-collected.
+
+2006-07-05  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Completely new expression parser that
+	builds a parse tree instead of operating with deep recursion. This
+	corrects reports of stack-blowing crashes parsing long expressions
+	[Bug 906201] and replaces a fundamentally O(N^2) algorithm with an
+	O(N) one [RFE 903765]. The new parser is better able to generate error
+	messages that clearly report both the nature and context of the syntax
+	error [Bugs 1029267, 1381715]. For now, the code for the old parser is
+	still present and can be activated with a "#define OLD_EXPR_PARSER
+	1". This is for the sake of a clean implementation patch, and for ease
+	of benchmarking. The new parser is non-recursive, so much lighter in
+	stack consumption, but it does use more heap, so there may be cases
+	where parsing of long expressions that succeeded with the old parser
+	will lead to out of memory panics with the new one. There are still
+	more improvements possible on that point, though significant progress
+	may require changes to the Tcl_Token specifications documented for the
+	public Tcl_Parse*() routines.
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for any callers that rely on the exact
+	(usually terrible) error messages generated by the old parser. This
+	includes a large number of tests in the test suite.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:		Replaced TclParseWhiteSpace() with
+	* generic/tclParse.c:		TclParseAllWhiteSpace() which is what
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	all the callers really needed.
+	Breaking whitespace runs at newlines is useful only to the command
+	parsing function, and it can call the file scoped routine
+	ParseWhiteSpace() to do that.
+
+	* tests/expr-old.test:	Removed knownBug constraints that masked
+	* tests/expr.test:	failures due to revised error messages.
+	* tests/parseExpr.test:
+
+2006-06-20  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:	Changed default configuration to
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: #undef USE_OBSOLETE_FS_HOOKS which disables
+	* generic/tclTest.c:	access to the Tcl 8.3 internal routines for
+	hooking into filesystem operations. Everyone ought to have migrated to
+	Tcl_Filesystems by now.
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for any code still stuck in the
+	pre-Tcl_Filesystem era.
+
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:	make genstubs
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+
+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	Removed dead code that permitted disabling of
+	recognition of the new 0b and 0o numeric formats.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Removed dead code that implemented alternative
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	design where numeric values did not
+	automatically narrow to the smallest Tcl_ObjType required to hold them
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	Removed dead code that was old implementation
+	of [format].
+
+2006-06-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h (Darwin): support MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED
+	define from AvailabilityMacros.h: override configure detection and
+	only use API available in the indicated OS version or earlier.
+
+2006-06-14  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/format.n, doc/scan.n: Added examples for converting between

+
+2006-06-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/GetStdChan.3:	Added recommendation that each call to

+
+2006-06-05  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/Alloc.3: Added documentation of promise that Tcl_Realloc(NULL,x)
+	is the same as Tcl_Alloc(x), as discussed in comp.lang.tcl. Also fixed
+	nonsense sentence to say something meaningful.
+
+2006-05-29  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_DecrRefCount): use if/else construct to allow
+	placement in unbraced outer if/else conditions. (jcw)
+
+2006-05-27  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: implemented pthread_atfork() handler that
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin):	    recreates CoreFoundation state and
+	notifier thread in the child after a fork(). Note that pthread_atfork
+	is available starting with Tiger only. Because vfork() is used by the
+	core on Darwin, [exec]/[open] are not affected by this fix, only
+	extensions or embedders that call fork() directly (such as TclX).
+	However, this only makes fork() safe from corefoundation tcl with
+	--disable-threads; as on all platforms, forked children may deadlock
+	in threaded tcl due to the potential for stale locked mutexes in the
+	child. [Patch 923072]
+
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59

+
+2006-05-23  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/chan.n, doc/refchan.n: Tighten up the documentation to follow a
+	slightly more consistent style with regard to argument capitalization.
+
+2006-05-13  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (ProcCompileProc): When a bump of the compile
+	epoch forces the re-compile of a proc body, take care not to overwrite
+	any Proc struct that may be referred to on the active call stack. Note
+	that the fix will not be effective for code that calls the private
+	routine TclProcCompileProc() directly. [Bug 1482718]
+
+2006-05-13  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+	readiness for reinitialization.
+
+2006-04-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):	It seems there
+	* tests/indexObj.test:	are extensions that rely on the prior behavior
+	* doc/GetIndex.3:	that the empty string cannot succeed as a
+	unique prefix matcher, so I'm restoring Donal Fellows's solution.
+	Added mention of this detail to the documentation. [Bug 1464039]
+
+	* tests/compExpr-old.test:	Updated testmathfunctions constraint
+	* tests/compExpr.test:		to post-TIP-232 world.
+	* tests/expr-old.test:

+
+2006-04-06  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: removed TCL_IO_TRACK_OS_FOR_DRIVER_WITH_BAD_BLOCKING
+	define on Darwin. [Bug 1457515]
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59
+
+2006-04-05  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c:	More careful calls to Tcl_DStringSetLength()
+	* win/tclWinSock.c:	to avoid creating invalid DString states. Bump
+	* win/tclWinDde.c:	to version 1.3.2. [RFE 1366195]
+	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:

+
+2006-04-03  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Added check, panic and commentary to a
+	piece of code which relies on BUFFER_PADDING to create enough space at
+	the beginning of each buffer for the insertion of partial multibyte
+	data at the beginning of a buffer. Commentary explains why this code
+	is OK, and the panic is as a precaution if someone twiddled the
+	BUFFER_PADDING into uselessness.
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Temporarily suppress the use of
+	TCL_ENCODING_END set when EOF was reached while the buffer we are
+	converting is not truly the last buffer in the queue. Together with
+	the Utf bug below it was possible to completely wreck the buffer data
+	structures, eventually crashing Tcl. [Bug 1462248]
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (UtfToUtfProc): Stop accessing memory beyond
+	the end of the input buffer when TCL_ENCODING_END is set and the last
+	bytes of the buffer start a multi-byte sequence. This bug contributed
+	to [Bug 1462248].
+
+2006-03-30  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+
+	* win/tclWinTest.c:	Fixes for [Bug 1456373] (mingw-gcc issue)
+
+2006-03-27  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* doc/CrtChannel.3:    Added TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_5, made it the
+	* generic/tcl.h:       version where the "truncateProc" is defined at,
+	* generic/tclIO.c:     and moved all channel drivers of Tcl to v5.

+
+2006-03-27  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Merge INST_MOD computation in with the
+	INST_?SHIFT instructions, which also operate only on two integral
+	values. Also corrected flaw that made INST_BITNOT of wide values
+	require mp_int calculations. Also corrected type that missed optimized
+	handling of the tclBooleanType by the TclGetBooleanFromObj macro.
+
+	* changes:	Updates for another RC.
+
+2006-03-25  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	overflow to use mp_int calculations.
+
+2006-03-24  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Added a couple of missing
+	casts to 'int' that were affecting compilablity on VC6.
+
+2006-03-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Reverted latest change [Bug 506653] since it
+	reportedly killed test performance on Windows.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Revised INST_EXPON implementation to do
+	calculations in native types as much as possible, moving to mp_ints
+	only when necessary.
+
+2006-03-23  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Merged INST_EXPON handling in with the other
+	binary operators that operate on all number types (INST_ADD, etc.).
+
+	* tests/env.test: With case preserved (see 2006-03-21 commit) be sure
+	to do case-insensitive filtering. [Bug 1457065]
+
+2006-03-23  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* unix/tcl.spec: Cleaned up and completed the spec file. An RPM can
+	now be built from the tcl source distribution with "rpmbuild -tb
+	<tarball>"
+
+2006-03-22  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* tests/stack.test: Run the stack tests in subshells, so that they are
+	reported as failed tests rather than bugs in the test suite if the
+	recursion causes a segfault.
+
+2006-03-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes:	Updates for another RC.
+
+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	One of the branches of AccumulateDecimalDigit

+2006-03-21  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:	 implement globbing for HFS creator & type
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c:codes and 'hidden' flag, as documented in
+	* tests/macOSXFCmd.test: glob.n; objectified OSType handling in [glob]
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:	 and [file attributes]; fix globbing for
+	hidden files with pattern==NULL arg. [Bug 823329]
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: make genstubs
+
+2006-03-20  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Generate tcl8/8.4 directory
+	under Windows as well (cygwin Makefile). Related entry: 2006-03-07,
+	dgp. This moved the installation of http from 8.2 to 8.4, partially. A
+	fix of the required directory creation was done for unix on Mar 10,
+	without entry in the Changelog. This entry is for the fix of the
+	directory creation under Windows.
+
+	* unix/installManPage: There is always one even more broken "sed".
+	Moved the # comment starting character in the sed script to the
+	beginning of their respective lines. The AIX sed will not recognize
+	them as comments otherwise :( The actual text stays indented for
+	better association with the commands they belong to.
+
+2006-03-20  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test, tests/fCmd.test, tests/unixFCmd.test:
+	* tests/winFCmd.test: Cleanup of some test constraint handling, and a
+	few other minor issues.
+
+2006-03-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c:
+	* doc/FileSystem.3:
+	* tests/fileName.test: Fix to [Bug 1084705] so that 'glob -nocomplain'
+	finally agrees with its documentation and doesn't swallow genuine
+	errors.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for scripts that assumed '-nocomplain'
+	removes the need for 'catch' to deal with non-understood path names.
+
+	Small optimisation to implementation of pattern==NULL case of TclGlob,
+	and clarification to the documentation. [Tclvfs bug 1405317]
+
+2006-03-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test: added knownBug test case for [Bug 1394972]
+
+	* tests/winFCmd.test:
+	* tests/tcltest.test: corrected tests to better account for behaviour
+	of writable/non-writable directories on Windows 2000/XP. This, with
+	the previous patches, closes [Bug 1193497]
+
+2006-03-17  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* doc/chan.n: Updated with documentation for the commands 'chan

+	for reflected channels (TIP #219).
+
+2006-03-17  Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: Include pthread.h prior to pthread_np.h [Bug
+	1444692]

+
+	* doc/open.n: Documented the changed behaviour of 'a'ppend mode.
+
+	* tests/io.test (io-43.1 io-44.[1234]): Rewritten to be self-contained
+	with regard to setup and cleanup. [Bug 681793]
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclGetOpenMode): Added the flag O_APPEND to the
+	list of POSIX modes used when opening a file for 'a'ppend. This
+	enables the proper automatic seek-to-end-on-write by the OS. See [Bug
+	680143] for longer discussion.
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-13.7.*): Extended the testsuite to check the
+	new handling of 'a'.
+
+2006-03-15  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/socket.test: Extended the timeout in socket-11.11 from 10 to
+	40 seconds to allow for really slow machines. Also extended
+	actual/expected results with value of variable 'done' to make it
+	clearer when a test fails due to a timeout. [Bug 792159]
+
+2006-03-15  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/fCmd.test: add proper test constraints so the new tests don't
+	run on Unix.
+
+2006-03-14  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): Modified the processing of
+	pipebars to fail if the last bar is followed only by redirections.
+	[Bug 768659]
+
+2006-03-14  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* doc/fconfigure.n: Clarified that -translation is binary is reported
+	as lf when queried, because it is identical to lf, except for the
+	special additional behaviour when setting it. [Bug 666770]
+
+2006-03-14  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* doc/clock.n: Removed double-quotes around section title NAME; not
+	needed.
+	* unix/installManpage: Reverted part to handle double-quotes in
+	section NAME, chokes older sed installations.
+
+2006-03-14  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+

+
+2006-03-13  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Report error when an escape encoding is
+	missing one of its sub-encodings. [Bug 506653]
+
+	* unix/configure.in:	Revert change from 2005-07-26 that sometimes
+	* unix/configure:	added $prefix/share to the tcl_pkgPath. See
+	[Patch 1231015]. autoconf-2.59.
+
+2006-03-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (ObjInterpProcEx):
+	* tests/apply.test (apply-5.1): Fix [apply] error messages so that

+
+2006-03-10  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	-- Summary of changes fixing [Bug 1437595] --
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c: Cosmetic touches and identation
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Added TclpFinalizeSockets() call.
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c: Calls TclpFinalizeSockets() as part of the
+	TclFinalizeIOSubsystem().
+
+	* unix/tclUnixSock.c: Added no-op TclpFinalizeSockets().
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c, win/tclWinSock.c: Finalization of sockets/pipes is
+	now solely done in TclpFinalizeSockets() and TclpFinalizePipes() and
+	not over the thread-exit handler, because the order of actions the Tcl
+	generic core will impose may result in cores/hangs if the thread exit
+	handler tears down corresponding subsystem(s) too early.
+
+2006-03-10  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>

+2006-02-28  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Corrections to be sure that TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL
+	* tests/namespace.test: evaluations act the same as [uplevel #0]
+	* tests/parse.test:	evaluations, even when execution traces or
+	* tests/trace.test:	invocations of [::unknown] are present. [Bug

+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel): Tidy up and comment the
+	mess to do with setting up serial channels. This (deliberately) breaks
+	a broken FreeBSD port, indicates what we're really doing, and reduces
+	the amount of conditional compilation sections for better maintenance.
+
+2006-01-25  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+

+
+	* tests/string.test (string-12.21): Added test for [Bug 1410553] based

+2006-01-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c: fixed incorrect handling of internal rep in
+	Tcl_GetRange. Thanks to twylite and Peter Spjuth. [Bug 1410553]
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c: fixed args handling for precompiled bodies [Bug

+
+2006-01-11  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Moved Tcl_LogCommandInfo from tclBasic.c to
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	tclNamesp.c to get access to identifier with
+	* tests/error.test (error-7.0): file scope. Added check for traces on
+	::errorInfo, and when present fall back to contruction of the stack
+	trace in the variable so that write trace notification timings are
+	compatible with earlier Tcl releases. This reduces, but does not
+	completely eliminate the ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** created by
+	the 2004-10-15 commit. [Bug 1397843]
+
+2006-01-10  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure:    add caching, use AC_CACHE_CHECK instead of
+	* unix/configure.in: AC_CACHE_VAL where possible, consistent message
+	* unix/tcl.m4:	     quoting, sync relevant tclconfig/tcl.m4 changes
+	and gratuitous formatting differences, fix SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES with
+	default argument, Darwin improvements to SC_LOAD_*CONFIG.

+
+2006-01-09  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclTrace.c: Stop exporting the guts of the trace command;
+	nothing outside this file needs to see it. [Bug 971336]
+
+2006-01-05  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (TCL_CONFIG_SYSTEM): Factor out the code to determine
+	the operating system version number, as it was replicated in several
+	places.
+
+2006-01-04  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c: WIN32 native console signal handler removed. This
+	was found to be interfering with TWAPI extension one. IMO, special
+	services such as signal handlers should best be done with extensions
+	to the core after discussions on c.l.t. about Roy Terry's tclsh
+	children of a real windows service shell.

+2008-12-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+	object is empty, this gives the previous semantics.
+	(Tcl_ZlibStreamChecksum): Corrected name to be less misleading; it
+	only produced Adler-32 checksums when the stream was processing the
+	right type of compressed data format.
+	(Tcl_ZlibAdler32, Tcl_ZlibCRC32): Corrected types so that they work

+	effort correlating with TIPs and ChangeLogs.

+
+	* win/Makefile.in:	Renamed the static library libtcl86s.a to
+	* win/configure.in:	have a name distinct from the import library
+				libtcl86.a. This renaming dodges an ancient
+				bug in the Makefile revealed by the last
+				commit where the $(TCL_LIB_FILE) rule can
+				fire to try to build the static library in a
+				--enable-shared build (and create a static
+				library that subsequently fails to link).
+				Revised the zlib objects so that they are
+				built directly into the build dir, without
+				building an intermediate static library.
+				*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** for
+				embedders who link to the static library, but
+				I couldn't figure out how to sort this out
+				any other way.

+	CloseWrite, CloseChannelPart, new flag CHANNEL_CLOSEDWRITE.
+
+	* tests/chanio.test (chanio-28.[67]): Reactivated these tests.
+	Replaced tclsh -> [interpreter] to get correct executable for the pipe

+	done. Removed the explicits calls to [flush], now that [close] handles

+2008-12-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/chanio.test:	Replaced [chan event] handlers that returned

+2008-12-12  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclZlib.c, unix/configure.in: Added stubs to use when the

+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (SetChannelFromAny and related): Modified the

+
+2008-12-11  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

+	[Bug 2017632] project.
+
+2008-08-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+

+
+	*** 8.6a2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+	* changes:	Updates for 8.6a2 release.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Drop use of USE_COMPAT85_CONST. That added
+	indirection without value. Use -DCONST86="" to engage source compat
+	support for code written for 8.5 headers.
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclReToGlob):	Added missing set of the
+	*exactPtr value to really fix [Bug 2065115]. Also avoid possible
+	DString overflow.
+	* tests/regexpComp.test:	Correct duplicate test names.
+
+2008-08-21  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	  Previous fix, now done right.
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* tests/unsupported.test:
+
+2008-08-21  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/regexp.test, tests/regexpComp.test: Correct re2glob ***=
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclReToGlob):	    translation from exact
+	to anywhere-in-string match. [Bug 2065115]
+
+2008-08-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Reduced the use of CONST86 and eliminated
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	the use of CONST86_RETURN to support source
+	code compatibility with Tcl 8.5 on those public routines passing
+	(Tcl_Filesystem *), (Tcl_Timer *), and (Tcl_Objtype *) values which
+	have been const-ified. What remains is the minimum configurability
+	needed to support code written for pre-8.6 headers via the new
+	-DUSE_COMPAT85_CONST compiler directive.
+	*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	make genstubs

+	* generic/tclInt.h:	rewind.
+
+2008-08-21  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_DisassembleObjCmd): Added ability to
+	disassemble TclOO methods. The code to do this is very ugly.
+
+2008-08-21  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOOMethod.c: Added casts to make MSVC happy
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+
+2008-08-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOO.c (AllocObject): Suppress compilation of commands in
+	the namespace allocated for each object.
+	* generic/tclOOMethod.c (PushMethodCallFrame): Restore some of the
+	hackery that makes calling methods of classes fast. Fixes performance
+	problem introduced by the fix of [Bug 2037727].
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript):    Allow the suppression of
+	* generic/tclInt.h (NS_SUPPRESS_COMPILATION): compilation of commands
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_CreateNamespace):  from a namespace or its
+	children.
+
+2008-08-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c (TestconcatobjCmd):	Fix use of internal-only
+	TclInvalidateStringRep macro. [Bug 2057479]
+
+2008-08-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	   Implementation of [coroutine] and [yield]

+	Fix [Bug 1447328]; the original "fix" turned Tcl_ConcatObj() into a
+	hairy monster. This was exposed by [Bug 2055782]. Additionally,
+	Tcl_ConcatObj could corrupt its input under certain conditions!
+
+	*** NASTY BUG FIXED ***

+
+	* tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-6.23):	Made result matching robust when test
+					workdir and /tmp are not on same FS.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:		Remove unused TclpThreadGetStackSize()

+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c:	Fix for errors handling -types {}

+
+2008-08-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+

+	Fix # args displayed. [Bug 2048676]
+
+2008-08-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOOMethod.c (PushMethodCallFrame):	Added missing check

+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclProcCompileProc):	On recompile of a
+	proc, clear away any entries on the CompiledLocal list from the

+	* win/makefile.vc:
+
+2008-08-11  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/tm.tcl: Added a 'package provide' command to the generated
+	ifneeded scripts of Tcl Modules, for early detection of conflicts
+	between the version specified through the file name and a 'provide'
+	command in the module implementation, if any. Note that this change
+	also now allows Tcl Modules to not provide a 'provide' command at all,
+	and declaring their version only through their filename.
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_ProcObjCmd): Fixed memory leak triggered by
+	* tests/proc.test: procbody::test::proc. See [Bug 2043636]. Added a
+	test case demonstrating the leak before the fix. Fixed a few spelling
+	errors in test descriptions as well.
+
+2008-08-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/http/http.tcl:	Bump http version to 2.7.1 to account
+	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl:	for [Bug 2046486] bug fix. This
+	* unix/Makefile.in:		release of http now requires a
+	* win/Makefile.in:		dependency on Tcl 8.5 to be able to
+	* win/makefile.bc:		use the unsigned formats in the

+
+2008-08-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c: Completely removed ProcCompileProc, which was a
+	fix for [Bug 1482718]. This is not needed at least since varReform,
+	where the local variable data at runtime is read from the CallFrame
+	and/or the LocalCache.

+

+2008-08-06  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupSimpleVar): Fix bug that the core could
+	not trigger before TclOO: the number of locals was being read from the
+	Proc, which can under some circumstance be out of sync with the
+	localCache's. Found by dgp while investigating [Bug 2037727].
+
+	* library/init.tcl (::unknown): Removed the [namespace inscope]
+	hack that was maintained for Itcl
+
+	*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** for Itcl
+	Itcl users will need a new release with Itcl's [Patch 2040295], or

+2008-08-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+
+2008-08-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* doc/Exit.3:			Do not call Tcl_Finalize implicitly
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:		on DLL_PROCESS_DETACH as it may lead
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (DllMain):	to issues and the user should be
+	explicitly calling Tcl_Finalize before unloading regardless. Clarify
+	the docs to note the explicit need in embedded use.
+
+2008-08-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Revised timing of the CmdFrame stack
+	* tests/info.test:	management in TclEvalEx so that the CmdFrame
+	will still be on the stack at the time Tcl_LogCommandInfo is called to
+	append another level of -errorinfo information. Sets the stage to add
+	file and line data to the stack trace. Added test to check that [info
+	frame] functioning remains unchanged by the revision.
+
+2008-07-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/NRE.test:  Replaced all deep-recursing tests by shallower
+	tests that actually measure the C-stack depth. This makes them
+	bearable again (even under memdebug) and avoid crashing on failure.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	NR-enabling [catch], [if] and [for] and
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	[while] (the script, not the tests)
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:

+	* tests/NRE.test:
+

+

+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Guard against the value of iPtr->evalFlags

+
+2008-07-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/NRE.test: New tests that went MIA in the NRE revamping
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Clean up
+	* generic/tclNRE.h:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Made use of the thread's alloc cache stored in
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	the ekeko at interp creation to avoid hitting
+	* generic/tclNRE.h:	the TSD each time an NRE callback is pushed or
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: pulled; the approach is suitably general
+	to extend to every other obj allocation where an interp is know; this
+	is left for some other time, requires a lot of grunt work.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	 Fix [Bug 2030670] that cause TclStackRealloc
+	to panic on rare corner cases. Thx ajpasadyn for diagnose and patch.
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	 Completely revamped NRE implementation, with
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	 (almost) unchanged API.
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	 TEBC will require a bit of a facelift, but
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:	 TEOV at least looks great now. There are new
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	 tests (incomplete!) to verify that execution
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	 is indeed in the same TEBC instance, at the
+	* generic/tclNRE.h:	 same level in all stacks involved. Tailcalls
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	 are still a bit leaky, still deserving to be
+	* generic/tclOOBasic.c:	 in tcl::unsupported.
+	* generic/tclOOMethod.c:
+	* generic/tclProc.c:	 Uninit'd var warnings in TEBC with -O2, no
+	* generic/tclTest.c:	 warnings otherwise.

+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+
+2008-07-28  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Added missing ref count when creating an empty
+	string as path (TclEvalEx). In 8.4 the missing code caused panics in
+	the testsuite. It doesn't in 8.5. I am guessing that the code path
+	with the missing the incr-refcount is not invoked any longer. Because
+	the bug in itself is certainly the same.
+
+2008-07-27  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOOMethod.c (PushMethodCallFrame): Remove hack that should
+	have gone when this code was merged into Tcl.

+
+	* doc/Object.3:		CONSTified 3 functions using Tcl_ObjType

+
+	* test/info.test: More work on singleTestInterp usability. [1605269]
+
+	* tests/info.test: Tests 38.* added, exactly testing the tracking of
+	location for uplevel scripts. Resolved merge conflict on info-37.0,
+	switched !singleTestInterp constraint to glob matching instead. Ditto
+	info-22.8, removed constraint, more glob matching, and reduced the
+	depth of the stack we check. More is coming, right now I want to
+	commit the bug fixes.
+
+	* tests/oo.test: Updated oo-22.1 for expanded location tracking.
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclInitCompileEnv): Reorganized the
+	initialization of the #280 location information to match the flow in
+	TclEvalObjEx to get more absolute contexts.

+	location information.
+

+	numbers.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Modified TclArgumentGet to reject pure lists
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: immediately, without search. Reworked setup of
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: eoFramePtr, doesn't need the line information,
+	* tests/info.test: more sensible to have everything on line 1 when
+	eval'ing a pure list. Updated the users of the line information to
+	special case this based on the frame type (i.e.
+	TCL_LOCATION_EVAL_LIST). Added a testcase demonstrating the new
+	behaviour.

+2008-07-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (GetCommandSource): Added comment with

+
+2008-07-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: Made the new TclEnterCmdWordIndex static, and
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: ansified.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Ansified the new functions. Added missing
+	function comments.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Reworked the handling of bytecode literals for
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: #280 to fix the abysmal performance for deep
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: recursion, replaced the linear search through
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: the whole stack with another hashtable and
+	* generic/tclInt.h: simplified the data structure used by the compiler
+	by using an array instead of a hashtable. Incidentially this also
+	fixes the memory leak reported via [Bug 2024937].
+
+2008-07-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	 Added numLevels field to CommandFrame, let

+
+2008-07-21  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Extended the existing TIP #280 system (info
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: frame), added the ability to track the absolute
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: location of literal procedure arguments, and
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: making this information available to uplevel
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: eval, and siblings. This allows proper
+	* generic/tclInterp.c: tracking of absolute location through custom
+	* generic/tclInt.h: (Tcl-coded) control structures based on uplevel,

+
+2008-07-21  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	  Changed the implementation of

+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	  Tcl_NRObjProc, replaced with
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	  Tcl_NRCmdSwap (proposed public

+
+2008-07-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (SetDictFromAny): Make the list->dict
+	transformation a bit more efficient; modern dicts are ordered and so
+	we can round-trip through lists without needing the string rep at all.
+	* generic/tclListObj.c (SetListFromAny): Make the dict->list
+	transformation not lossy of internal representations and hence more
+	efficient. [Bug 2008248] (ajpasadyn) but using a more efficient patch.
+
+	* tests/fileName.test: Revise to reduce the obscurity of tests. In
+	particular, all tests should now produce informative messages on
+	failure and the quantity of [catch]-based obscurity is now greatly
+	reduced; non-erroring is now checked for directly.
+
+2008-07-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/env.test: Add LANG to the list of variables that are not

+	get their system encoding correct.
+
+	* tests/exec.test, tests/env.test: Rewrite so that non-ASCII

+
+	* generic/tclOO.c, generic/tclOOInt.h, generic/tclOOBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclOOCall.c, generic/tclOOMethod.c: NRE-enable the TclOO
+	implementation in Tcl. No change to public APIs, except that method
+	implementations can now be NRE-aware if they choose (which normal
+	methods and forwards are). On the other hand, callers of
+	TclOOInvokeObject (which is only in the internal stub table) will need

+	script cancellation hash table in a thread-safe manner. Reset script
+	cancellation flags prior to increasing the nesting level (if the
+	nesting level is currently zero) and always cooperatively check for
+	script cancellation near the start of TclEvalObjvInternal and after
+	invoking async handlers.
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: Regenerated.
+	* generic/tclEvent.c: Call TclFinalizeEvaluation during finalization
+	to cleanup the script cancellation hash table. During [vwait], always
+	cooperatively check for script cancellation. Corrected the spelling of
+	'canceled' in comments to be consistent with the documentation.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Reset script cancellation flags prior to
+	increasing the nesting level (if the nesting level is currently zero)
+	and always cooperatively check for script cancellation after invoking
+	async handlers. Prevent [catch] from catching script cancellation when
+	the TCL_CANCEL_UNWIND flag is set (similar to the manner used by TIP
+	143 when a limit has been exceeded).
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: Added TclResetCancellation to the internal
+	stubs table.
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Added asyncCancel and asyncCancelMsg fields to the
+	private Interp structure. Added private interp flag value CANCELED to
+	help control script cancellation.
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: Regenerated.
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_InterpObjCmd): Added [interp cancel]
+	subcommand.
+	* generic/tclNotify.c (Tcl_DeleteEventSource): Corrected the spelling
+	of 'canceled' in comments to be consistent with the documentation.
+	* generic/tclParse.c: Reset script cancellation flags prior to
+	* generic/tclProc.c: increasing the nesting level (if the nesting
+	level is currently zero) and cooperatively check for script
+	cancellation prior to evaluating commands.
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regenerated.
+	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (Tcl_ThreadObjCmd): Added script
+	cancellation support ([testthread cancel]).
+	Modified [testthread id] to allow querying of the 'main' thread ID.
+	Corrected comments to reflect the actual command syntax. Made
+	[testthread wait] cooperatively check for script cancellation. Added
+	[testthread event] to allow for processing one pending event without
+	blocking.
+	* generic/tclTimer.c: Delay for a maximum of 500 milliseconds prior to
+	checking for async handlers and script cancellation.
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: Changed [interp c] to [interp create].
+	* tests/interp.test: Added and fixed tests for [interp cancel].
+	* tests/thread.test: Added tests for script cancellation via
+	[testthread cancel].
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl: Fixed problems with WinHelp target (see
+	* tools/man2tcl.c: [Bug 1934200], [Bug 1934265], and [Bug 1934272]).
+	* win/makefile.vc: Added 'pdbs' option for Windows build rules to
+	* win/rules.vc:	   allow for non-debug builds with full symbols.
+	* win/tcl.hpj.in: Corrected version for WinHelp target.
+	* win/tclWinNotify.c: Used SleepEx and WaitForSingleObjectEx on
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Windows because they are alertable.
+
+2008-06-12  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+	details.
+
+2008-06-10  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/ioTrans.test (iortrans.tf-6.1): Fixed the [Bug 1988552],
+	reported by Kevin. Have to close the channel before removal of the
+	file. Fixed same bug in test 'iortrans.tf-11.0', after fixing missing
+	cleanup of the file in 'iortrans.tf-11.*'. Lastly fixed the names of
+	the threaded tests 'iortrans-8.*' to the correct 'iortrans.tf-8.*'.
+
+2008-06-09  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIORTrans.c (ReflectInput): Fixed a bug triggered by Pat
+	Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>. Reset the EOF flag after
+	draining the Tcl level into the result buffer, to make sure that the
+	result buffer will be drained as well by repeated calls to
+	ReflectInput should it contain more than one buffer-full of data.
+	Without that reset the higher I/O system will not call on ReflectInput
+	anymore due to the assumed EOF, thus losing the data which did not fit
+	in the buffer of the call which caused the eof and drain.
+
+2008-06-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+

+2008-06-08  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	   Compilation of uplevel scripts, allow

+
+	NOTE: The file 'tclIORTrans.c' has a lot of code in common with the
+	      file 'tclIORChan.c', as that made it much easier to develop the
+	      reference implementation as a separate module. Now that the
+	      transforms have been committed the one thing left to do is to go

+
+	* generic/tclOO.c (ReleaseClassContents): Fix the one remaining
+	valgrind complaint about oo.test, caused by failing to protect the
+	Object as well as the Class corresponding to a subclass being deleted
+	and hence getting a freed-memory read when attempting to delete the
+	class command. [Bug 1981001]
+
+2008-06-01  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+

+
+2008-06-01  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: Add tclOO genstubs to Windows makefiles and remove

+
+2008-06-01  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclOODecls.h:	   Added the swizzling of DLLEXPORT and

+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c:	 Added missing initializers to the ensemble
+				 map to silence a compiler warning. Thanks to
+				 George Peter Staplin for the report.
+
+	* generic/tclOOMethod.c: Fix a bug where the refcount of a method was

+
+2008-06-01  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+	TIP#257 IMPLEMENTATION
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c, generic/tclOOInt.h: Correct declarations.

+
+	* generic/tclOO*, doc/*, tests/oo.test: Port of implementation of

+
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (FileWideSeekProc): Accepted a patch by Alexandre

+	'tell' now works for locations > 2 GB as well instead of going
+	negative.
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize): Accepted a patch by
+	* tests/io.test: Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
+	* tests/chanio.test: to fix the [Bug 1969953]. Buffersize outside of

+2008-05-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_LogCommandInfo):	Restored ability to

+
+2008-05-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (ParseComment):	The new TclParseAllWhiteSpace
+	* tests/parse.test (parse-15.60):	routine has no mechanism to
+	return the "incomplete" status of "\\\n" so calling this routine
+	anywhere that can be reached within a Tcl_ParseCommand() call is a

+
+2008-05-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_SetNamespaceUnknownHandler): Corrected odd
+	logic for handling installation of namespace unknown handlers which
+	could lead too very strange things happening in the error case.
+
+2008-05-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: Fix crash with tcl_traceExec. Found and fixed

+
+2008-05-15  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: We should use the thread allocator for threaded

+
+2008-05-09  George Peter Staplin  <georgeps@xmission.com>
+
+	* tools/tsdPerf.c:	A loadable Tcl extension for testing TSD

+2008-05-09  George Peter Staplin  <georgeps@xmission.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Make Tcl_ThreadDataKey a void *.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Change around some function names and add some
+	new per-platform declarations for thread-specific data functions.
+	* generic/tclThread.c:	Make use of of the new function names that no
+	longer have a Tclp prefix.
+	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: Replace the core thread-specific data
+	(TSD) mechanism with an array offset solution that eliminates the hash
+	tables, and only uses one slot of native TSD. Many thanks to Kevin B.
+	Kenny for his help with this.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:	Add platform-specific TSD functions for use by

+2008-05-07  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@cspool38.cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictAppendCmd): Fix silly off-by

+
+2008-05-02  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: Reverted accidental commit of TIP 316 APIs.
+
+2008-04-27  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* */*.c: A large tranche of getting rid of pre-C89-isms; if your
+	compiler doesn't support things like proper function declarations,
+	'void' and 'const', borrow a proper one when building Tcl. (The header
+	files allow building things that link against Tcl with really ancient
+	compilers still; the requirement is just when building Tcl itself.)
+
+2008-04-26  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclAsync.c: Tcl_AsyncDelete(): panic if attempt to locate
+	handler token fails. Happens when some other thread attempts to delete
+	somebody else's token.
+
+	Also, panic early if we find out the wrong thread attempting to delete
+	the async handler (common trap). As, only the one that created the
+	handler is allowed to delete it.
+
+2008-04-24  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test: Extended testsuite for reflected channel
+	implementation. Added test cases about how it handles if the rug is
+	pulled out from under a channel (= killing threads, interpreters
+	containing the tcl command for a channel, and channel sitting in a
+	different interpreter/thread.)
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c: Fixed the bugs exposed by the new testcases,
+	redone most of the cleanup and exit handling.
+
+2008-04-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:		Removed all code delimited by
+	* generic/tclTest.c:		USE_OBSOLETE_FS_HOOKS, completing
+	* tests/ioCmd.test:		the deprecation path for these
+	* tests/ioUtil.test (removed):	obsolete interfaces. (Code was active
+	in Tcl 8.4, present but enabled only by customized compile switch in
+	Tcl 8.5, and now completely gone for Tcl 8.6). Also removed all tests
+	relevant only to the removed interfaces.

+2008-04-16  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:		Make stubs tables 'static const' and

+	* io.test (io-53.8a):		Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sf.net>,
+	* chanio.test (chan-io-53.8a):	to shift EOF handling to the async

+
+2008-04-15  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	Adjust tclDTrace.h dependencies for removal

+
+2008-04-14  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (NativeGetTime): Removed obsolete use of

+
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-33.5, clock-33.5a, clock-33.8, clock-33.8a):
+	Added comments to the test that it can fail on a heavily loaded
+	system.
+
+2008-04-10  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Keeping check for negative
+	values, changed to not be an error, but behave like the special value
+	-1 (copy all, default).
+
+	* tests/iocmd.test (iocmd-15.{12,13}): Removed.
+
+	* tests/io.test (io-52.5{,a,b}): Reverted last change, added
+	* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-52.5{,a,b}): comment regarding the
+	meaning of -1, added two more testcases for other negative values,
+	and input wrapped to negative.
+
+2008-04-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/{fCmd,unixFCmd,winFCmd,winFile}.test: Tidying up of the test
+	suite to make better use of tcltest2 and be clearer about what is
+	being tested.
+
+	* win/Makefile.in (html): Added target for doing convenient
+	documentation builds, mirroring the one from unix/Makefile.
+
+2008-04-09  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-52.5): Removed '-size -1' from test,
+	* tests/io.test (io-52.5): does not seem to have any bearing, and was
+	an illegal value. Test case is not affected by the value of -size,
+	test flag restoration and that evrything was properly copied.
+
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Added checking of -size value
+	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-15.{13,14}): to reject negative values, and
+	values overflowing 32-bit signed. Basic patch by Alexandre Ferrieux
+	<ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>, with modifications from me to
+	separate overflow from true negative value. Extended testsuite. [Bug
+	1557855]
+
+2008-04-09  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-53.8,53.9,53.10): Fix typo & quoting for

+	* tests/chanio.test:
+	* generic/tclIO.c: Additional changes to data structures for fcopy and
+	* generic/tclIO.h: channels to perform proper cleanup in case of a
+	channel having two background copy operations running as is now
+	possible.
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (BUSY_STATE, CheckChannelErrors, TclCopyChannel):
+	New macro, and the places using it. This change allows for
+	bi-directional fcopy on channels. Thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux
+	<ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch. [Bug 1350564]
+
+2008-04-07  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendFormatToObj): Fix [format {% d}]
+	so that it behaves the same way as in 8.4 and as C's printf().
+	* tests/format.test: Add a test for '% d' and '%+d'.
+
+2008-04-05  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: (WinSymLinkDirectory): Fixed a problem that Tcl
+	was creating an NTFS junction point (IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT) but
+	filling in the union member for a Vista symbolic link. We had gotten
+	away with this error because the union member
+	(SymbolicLinkReparseBuffer) was misdefined in this file and in the
+	'winnt.h' in early versions of MinGW. MinGW 3.4.2 has the correct
+	definition of SymbolicLinkReparseBuffer, exposing the mismatch, and
+	making tests cmdAH-19.4.1, fCmd-28.*, and filename-11.* fail.
+	* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-53.9):
+	* tests/io.test (io-53.9): Made test cleanup robust against the
+	possibility of slow process shutdown on Windows.

+	* win/tcl.m4: Added -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE and
+	-DCRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE to the MSVC compilation flags so that the
+	compilation doesn't barf on perfectly reasonable Posix system calls.
+	* win/configure: Manually patched (don't have the right autoconf to
+	hand).
+
+2008-04-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/io.test (io-53.9): Added testcase for [Bug 780533], based
+	* tests/chanio.test: on Alexandre's test script. Also fixed problem
+	with timer in preceding test, was not canceled properly in the ok case
+
+2008-04-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectOutput): Allow zero return from write
+	when input was zero-length anyway. Otherwise keept it an error, and
+	separate the message from 'written too much'.
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-24.6): Testcase updated for changed message.
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectClose): Added missing removal of the
+	now closed channel from the reflection map. Before we could crash the
+	system by invoking 'chan postevent' on a closed reflected channel,
+	dereferencing the dangling pointer in the map.
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-31.8): Testcase for the above.

+2008-03-30  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclIsNaN):
+	* unix/configure.in: Added code to the configurator to check for a
+			     standard isnan() macro and use it if one is
+			     found. This change avoids bugs where the test of
+			     ((d) != (d)) is optimized away by an
+			     overaggressive compiler. [Bug 1783544]
+	* generic/tclObj.c: Added missing #include <math.h> needed to locate

+
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.61
+
+	* tests/mathop.test (mathop-25.9, mathop-25.14): Modified tests to

+
+2008-03-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h, generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: Tidied up the declarations

+	which is OK because that also indicates a serious mismatch between
+	memory configuration options.
+
+2008-03-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+

+
+2008-03-18  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::UnknownHandler): Changed 'source' to
+	'source -encoding utf-8'. This fixes a portability problem of Tcl
+	Modules pointed out by Don Porter. By using plain 'source' we were at
+	the mercy of 'encoding system', making modules less portable than they
+	could be. The exact scenario: A writes a TM in some weird encoding
+	which is A's system encoding, distributes it, and somewhere else it
+	cannot be read/used because the system encoding is different. Forcing
+	the use of utf-8 makes the module portable.
+
+	***INCOMPATIBILITY*** for all Tcl Modules already written in non-utf-8
+	compatible encodings.

+2008-03-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2008-03-18  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::Defaults): Modified handling of
+	environment variables. Solution slightly different than proposed in
+	the report. Using the underscored form TCLX_y_TM_PATH even if
+	TCLX.y_TM_PATH exists. Also using a loop to cut prevent code
+	replication. [Bug 1914604]
+
+2008-03-16  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictForCmd): Correct the handling
+	of stack space calculation (the jump pattern used was confusing the
+	simple-minded code doing the calculations). [Bug 1903325]
+
+	* doc/lreplace.n: Clarified documentation of what happens with
+	negative indices. [Bug 1905809] Added example, tidied up formatting.
+
+2008-03-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (OldMathFuncProc):	Same workaround protection
+	from bad TclStackAlloc() alignment. Thanks George Peter Staplin.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd):	Use ckalloc() to allocate
+	SortElement arrays instead of TclStackAlloc() which isn't getting
+	alignment right. Workaround for [Bug 1914503].
+
+2008-03-14  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

+
+2008-03-11  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+	[Bug 1893053]
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: Avoid using CoreFoundation after fork() on

+
+2008-03-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclDeleteNamespaceVars):
+	* tests/var.test (var-8.2): Unset traces on vars should be called with

+	when unset traces recreated the var, as reported by Julian Noble. [Bug
+	1911919]
+
+2008-03-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes:		Updated for 8.5.2 release.
+
+	* doc/http.n:	Revised to indicate that [package require http 2.5.5]
+	is needed to get all the documented commands ([http::meta]).
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (TclDefaultBgErrorHandlerObjCmd):	Added error
+	* tests/event.test (event-5.*):	checking to protect against callers
+	passing invalid return options dictionaries. [Bug 1901113]
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (ExprAbsFunc):	Revised so that the abs()
+	* tests/expr.test:	function and the [::tcl::mathfunc::abs]
+	command do not return the value of -0, or equivalent values with more
+	alarming string reps like -1e-350. [Bug 1893815]
+
+2008-03-07  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (ReleaseKeys): Workaround for [Bug 1904907].
+	Reset the return option keys to NULL to allow full re-initialization
+	by GetKeys(). This introduces a memory leak for the key objects, but
+	gets us around a crash in the finalization of reflected channels when
+	handling returns, either at compile- or runtime. In both cases we
+	access the keys after they have been released by their thread exit
+	handler. A proper fix is entangled with the untangling of the
+	finalization ordering and attendant issues. For now we choose the
+	lesser evil.
+
+2008-03-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (Tcl_ExprObj):	Revised expression bytecode
+	compiling so that bytecodes invalid due to changing context or due to
+	the difference between expressions and scripts are not reused. [Bug
+	1899164]
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	Revised direct evaluation implementation of
+	[expr] so that [expr $e] caches compiled bytecodes for the expression
+	as the intrep of $e.
+
+	* tests/execute.test (execute-6.*):	More tests checking that
+	script bytecode is invalidated in the right situations.
+
+2008-03-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+

+2008-03-03  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: Fix mark and space parity on Linux, which uses

+
+2008-03-02  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (GetNamespaceFromObj):

+	obj when the reference crosses interpreter boundaries.
+
+2008-02-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_SetReturnOptions):	Revised the refcount
+	management of Tcl_SetReturnOptions to become that of a conventional
+	Consumer routine. Thanks to Peter Spjuth for pointing out the
+	difficulties calling Tcl_SetReturnOptions with non-0-count value for
+	options.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_RETURN_STK): Revised the one caller
+	within Tcl itself which passes a non-0-count value to
+	Tcl_SetReturnOptions().
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo):	Revised the
+	refcount management of Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo to become that of a
+	conventional Consumer routine. This preserves the ease of use for the
+	overwhelming common callers who pass in a 0-count value, but makes the
+	proper call with a non-0-count value less surprising.
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (TclDefaultBgErrorHandlerObjCmd):	Revised the
+	one caller within Tcl itself which passes a non-0-count value to
+	Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo().
+
+2008-02-28  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+2008-02-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal):	Plug memory leak when

+	Don't let the second pass lose commandPtr value allocated during the
+	first pass.
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (ParseExpr):	Plug memory leak in error
+	message generation.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendFormatToObj): [format %llx $big]
+	leaked an mp_int.
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd):	The 2007-10-18 commit
+	to optimize compiled [return -level 0 $x] [RFE 1794073] introduced a
+	memory leak of the return options dictionary. Fixing that.
+
+2008-02-27  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

+	* library/clock.tcl (::tcl::clock::format, ::tcl::clock::scan,
+	(::tcl::clock::add, ::tcl::clock::LocalizeFormat): Fixed bugs in

+	date/time formats were used. [Bug 1902423]
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-61.*, clock-62.1): Regression tests for [Bug

+
+2008-02-26  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c, unix/tclUnixPort.h, unix/tclUnixChan.c:

+
+2008-02-26  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>

+                Frequently Asked Questions about zlib
+
+
+If your question is not there, please check the zlib home page
+http://zlib.net/ which may have more recent information.
+The lastest zlib FAQ is at http://zlib.net/zlib_faq.html
+
+
+ 1. Is zlib Y2K-compliant?
+
+    Yes. zlib doesn't handle dates.
+
+ 2. Where can I get a Windows DLL version?
+
+    The zlib sources can be compiled without change to produce a DLL.  See the
+    file win32/DLL_FAQ.txt in the zlib distribution.  Pointers to the
+    precompiled DLL are found in the zlib web site at http://zlib.net/ .
+
+ 3. Where can I get a Visual Basic interface to zlib?
+
+    See
+        * http://marknelson.us/1997/01/01/zlib-engine/
+        * win32/DLL_FAQ.txt in the zlib distribution
+
+ 4. compress() returns Z_BUF_ERROR.
+
+    Make sure that before the call of compress(), the length of the compressed
+    buffer is equal to the available size of the compressed buffer and not
+    zero.  For Visual Basic, check that this parameter is passed by reference
+    ("as any"), not by value ("as long").
+
+ 5. deflate() or inflate() returns Z_BUF_ERROR.
+
+    Before making the call, make sure that avail_in and avail_out are not zero.
+    When setting the parameter flush equal to Z_FINISH, also make sure that
+    avail_out is big enough to allow processing all pending input.  Note that a
+    Z_BUF_ERROR is not fatal--another call to deflate() or inflate() can be
+    made with more input or output space.  A Z_BUF_ERROR may in fact be
+    unavoidable depending on how the functions are used, since it is not
+    possible to tell whether or not there is more output pending when
+    strm.avail_out returns with zero.  See http://zlib.net/zlib_how.html for a
+    heavily annotated example.
+
+ 6. Where's the zlib documentation (man pages, etc.)?
+
+    It's in zlib.h .  Examples of zlib usage are in the files example.c and
+    minigzip.c, with more in examples/ .
+
+ 7. Why don't you use GNU autoconf or libtool or ...?
+
+    Because we would like to keep zlib as a very small and simple package.
+    zlib is rather portable and doesn't need much configuration.
+
+ 8. I found a bug in zlib.
+
+    Most of the time, such problems are due to an incorrect usage of zlib.
+    Please try to reproduce the problem with a small program and send the
+    corresponding source to us at zlib@gzip.org .  Do not send multi-megabyte
+    data files without prior agreement.
+
+ 9. Why do I get "undefined reference to gzputc"?
+
+    If "make test" produces something like
+
+       example.o(.text+0x154): undefined reference to `gzputc'
+
+    check that you don't have old files libz.* in /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib or
+    /usr/X11R6/lib. Remove any old versions, then do "make install".
+
+10. I need a Delphi interface to zlib.
+
+    See the contrib/delphi directory in the zlib distribution.
+
+11. Can zlib handle .zip archives?
+
+    Not by itself, no.  See the directory contrib/minizip in the zlib
+    distribution.
+
+12. Can zlib handle .Z files?
+
+    No, sorry.  You have to spawn an uncompress or gunzip subprocess, or adapt
+    the code of uncompress on your own.
+
+13. How can I make a Unix shared library?
+
+    make clean
+    ./configure -s
+    make
+
+14. How do I install a shared zlib library on Unix?
+
+    After the above, then:
+
+    make install
+
+    However, many flavors of Unix come with a shared zlib already installed.
+    Before going to the trouble of compiling a shared version of zlib and
+    trying to install it, you may want to check if it's already there!  If you
+    can #include <zlib.h>, it's there.  The -lz option will probably link to
+    it.  You can check the version at the top of zlib.h or with the
+    ZLIB_VERSION symbol defined in zlib.h .
+
+15. I have a question about OttoPDF.
+
+    We are not the authors of OttoPDF. The real author is on the OttoPDF web
+    site: Joel Hainley, jhainley@myndkryme.com.
+
+16. Can zlib decode Flate data in an Adobe PDF file?
+
+    Yes. See http://www.pdflib.com/ . To modify PDF forms, see
+    http://sourceforge.net/projects/acroformtool/ .
+
+17. Why am I getting this "register_frame_info not found" error on Solaris?
+
+    After installing zlib 1.1.4 on Solaris 2.6, running applications using zlib
+    generates an error such as:
+
+        ld.so.1: rpm: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/lib/libz.so:
+        symbol __register_frame_info: referenced symbol not found
+
+    The symbol __register_frame_info is not part of zlib, it is generated by
+    the C compiler (cc or gcc).  You must recompile applications using zlib
+    which have this problem.  This problem is specific to Solaris.  See
+    http://www.sunfreeware.com for Solaris versions of zlib and applications
+    using zlib.
+
+18. Why does gzip give an error on a file I make with compress/deflate?
+
+    The compress and deflate functions produce data in the zlib format, which
+    is different and incompatible with the gzip format.  The gz* functions in
+    zlib on the other hand use the gzip format.  Both the zlib and gzip formats
+    use the same compressed data format internally, but have different headers
+    and trailers around the compressed data.
+
+19. Ok, so why are there two different formats?
+
+    The gzip format was designed to retain the directory information about a
+    single file, such as the name and last modification date.  The zlib format
+    on the other hand was designed for in-memory and communication channel
+    applications, and has a much more compact header and trailer and uses a
+    faster integrity check than gzip.
+
+20. Well that's nice, but how do I make a gzip file in memory?
+
+    You can request that deflate write the gzip format instead of the zlib
+    format using deflateInit2().  You can also request that inflate decode the
+    gzip format using inflateInit2().  Read zlib.h for more details.
+
+21. Is zlib thread-safe?
+
+    Yes.  However any library routines that zlib uses and any application-
+    provided memory allocation routines must also be thread-safe.  zlib's gz*
+    functions use stdio library routines, and most of zlib's functions use the
+    library memory allocation routines by default.  zlib's *Init* functions
+    allow for the application to provide custom memory allocation routines.
+
+    Of course, you should only operate on any given zlib or gzip stream from a
+    single thread at a time.
+
+22. Can I use zlib in my commercial application?
+
+    Yes.  Please read the license in zlib.h.
+
+23. Is zlib under the GNU license?
+
+    No.  Please read the license in zlib.h.
+
+24. The license says that altered source versions must be "plainly marked". So
+    what exactly do I need to do to meet that requirement?
+
+    You need to change the ZLIB_VERSION and ZLIB_VERNUM #defines in zlib.h.  In
+    particular, the final version number needs to be changed to "f", and an
+    identification string should be appended to ZLIB_VERSION.  Version numbers
+    x.x.x.f are reserved for modifications to zlib by others than the zlib
+    maintainers.  For example, if the version of the base zlib you are altering
+    is "1.2.3.4", then in zlib.h you should change ZLIB_VERNUM to 0x123f, and
+    ZLIB_VERSION to something like "1.2.3.f-zachary-mods-v3".  You can also
+    update the version strings in deflate.c and inftrees.c.
+
+    For altered source distributions, you should also note the origin and
+    nature of the changes in zlib.h, as well as in ChangeLog and README, along
+    with the dates of the alterations.  The origin should include at least your
+    name (or your company's name), and an email address to contact for help or
+    issues with the library.
+
+    Note that distributing a compiled zlib library along with zlib.h and
+    zconf.h is also a source distribution, and so you should change
+    ZLIB_VERSION and ZLIB_VERNUM and note the origin and nature of the changes
+    in zlib.h as you would for a full source distribution.
+
+25. Will zlib work on a big-endian or little-endian architecture, and can I
+    exchange compressed data between them?
+
+    Yes and yes.
+
+26. Will zlib work on a 64-bit machine?
+
+    Yes.  It has been tested on 64-bit machines, and has no dependence on any
+    data types being limited to 32-bits in length.  If you have any
+    difficulties, please provide a complete problem report to zlib@gzip.org
+
+27. Will zlib decompress data from the PKWare Data Compression Library?
+
+    No.  The PKWare DCL uses a completely different compressed data format than
+    does PKZIP and zlib.  However, you can look in zlib's contrib/blast
+    directory for a possible solution to your problem.
+
+28. Can I access data randomly in a compressed stream?
+
+    No, not without some preparation.  If when compressing you periodically use
+    Z_FULL_FLUSH, carefully write all the pending data at those points, and
+    keep an index of those locations, then you can start decompression at those
+    points.  You have to be careful to not use Z_FULL_FLUSH too often, since it
+    can significantly degrade compression.  Alternatively, you can scan a
+    deflate stream once to generate an index, and then use that index for
+    random access.  See examples/zran.c .
+
+29. Does zlib work on MVS, OS/390, CICS, etc.?
+
+    It has in the past, but we have not heard of any recent evidence.  There
+    were working ports of zlib 1.1.4 to MVS, but those links no longer work.
+    If you know of recent, successful applications of zlib on these operating
+    systems, please let us know.  Thanks.
+
+30. Is there some simpler, easier to read version of inflate I can look at to
+    understand the deflate format?
+
+    First off, you should read RFC 1951.  Second, yes.  Look in zlib's
+    contrib/puff directory.
+
+31. Does zlib infringe on any patents?
+
+    As far as we know, no.  In fact, that was originally the whole point behind
+    zlib.  Look here for some more information:
+
+    http://www.gzip.org/#faq11
+
+32. Can zlib work with greater than 4 GB of data?
+
+    Yes.  inflate() and deflate() will process any amount of data correctly.
+    Each call of inflate() or deflate() is limited to input and output chunks
+    of the maximum value that can be stored in the compiler's "unsigned int"
+    type, but there is no limit to the number of chunks.  Note however that the
+    strm.total_in and strm_total_out counters may be limited to 4 GB.  These
+    counters are provided as a convenience and are not used internally by
+    inflate() or deflate().  The application can easily set up its own counters
+    updated after each call of inflate() or deflate() to count beyond 4 GB.
+    compress() and uncompress() may be limited to 4 GB, since they operate in a
+    single call.  gzseek() and gztell() may be limited to 4 GB depending on how
+    zlib is compiled.  See the zlibCompileFlags() function in zlib.h.
+
+    The word "may" appears several times above since there is a 4 GB limit only
+    if the compiler's "long" type is 32 bits.  If the compiler's "long" type is
+    64 bits, then the limit is 16 exabytes.
+
+33. Does zlib have any security vulnerabilities?
+
+    The only one that we are aware of is potentially in gzprintf().  If zlib is
+    compiled to use sprintf() or vsprintf(), then there is no protection
+    against a buffer overflow of an 8K string space (or other value as set by
+    gzbuffer()), other than the caller of gzprintf() assuring that the output
+    will not exceed 8K.  On the other hand, if zlib is compiled to use
+    snprintf() or vsnprintf(), which should normally be the case, then there is
+    no vulnerability.  The ./configure script will display warnings if an
+    insecure variation of sprintf() will be used by gzprintf().  Also the
+    zlibCompileFlags() function will return information on what variant of
+    sprintf() is used by gzprintf().
+
+    If you don't have snprintf() or vsnprintf() and would like one, you can
+    find a portable implementation here:
+
+        http://www.ijs.si/software/snprintf/
+
+    Note that you should be using the most recent version of zlib.  Versions
+    1.1.3 and before were subject to a double-free vulnerability, and versions
+    1.2.1 and 1.2.2 were subject to an access exception when decompressing
+    invalid compressed data.
+
+34. Is there a Java version of zlib?
+
+    Probably what you want is to use zlib in Java. zlib is already included
+    as part of the Java SDK in the java.util.zip package. If you really want
+    a version of zlib written in the Java language, look on the zlib home
+    page for links: http://zlib.net/ .
+
+35. I get this or that compiler or source-code scanner warning when I crank it
+    up to maximally-pedantic. Can't you guys write proper code?
+
+    Many years ago, we gave up attempting to avoid warnings on every compiler
+    in the universe.  It just got to be a waste of time, and some compilers
+    were downright silly as well as contradicted each other.  So now, we simply
+    make sure that the code always works.
+
+36. Valgrind (or some similar memory access checker) says that deflate is
+    performing a conditional jump that depends on an uninitialized value.
+    Isn't that a bug?
+
+    No.  That is intentional for performance reasons, and the output of deflate
+    is not affected.  This only started showing up recently since zlib 1.2.x
+    uses malloc() by default for allocations, whereas earlier versions used
+    calloc(), which zeros out the allocated memory.  Even though the code was
+    correct, versions 1.2.4 and later was changed to not stimulate these
+    checkers.
+
+37. Will zlib read the (insert any ancient or arcane format here) compressed
+    data format?
+
+    Probably not. Look in the comp.compression FAQ for pointers to various
+    formats and associated software.
+
+38. How can I encrypt/decrypt zip files with zlib?
+
+    zlib doesn't support encryption.  The original PKZIP encryption is very
+    weak and can be broken with freely available programs.  To get strong
+    encryption, use GnuPG, http://www.gnupg.org/ , which already includes zlib
+    compression.  For PKZIP compatible "encryption", look at
+    http://www.info-zip.org/
+
+39. What's the difference between the "gzip" and "deflate" HTTP 1.1 encodings?
+
+    "gzip" is the gzip format, and "deflate" is the zlib format.  They should
+    probably have called the second one "zlib" instead to avoid confusion with
+    the raw deflate compressed data format.  While the HTTP 1.1 RFC 2616
+    correctly points to the zlib specification in RFC 1950 for the "deflate"
+    transfer encoding, there have been reports of servers and browsers that
+    incorrectly produce or expect raw deflate data per the deflate
+    specficiation in RFC 1951, most notably Microsoft.  So even though the
+    "deflate" transfer encoding using the zlib format would be the more
+    efficient approach (and in fact exactly what the zlib format was designed
+    for), using the "gzip" transfer encoding is probably more reliable due to
+    an unfortunate choice of name on the part of the HTTP 1.1 authors.
+
+    Bottom line: use the gzip format for HTTP 1.1 encoding.
+
+40. Does zlib support the new "Deflate64" format introduced by PKWare?
+
+    No.  PKWare has apparently decided to keep that format proprietary, since
+    they have not documented it as they have previous compression formats.  In
+    any case, the compression improvements are so modest compared to other more
+    modern approaches, that it's not worth the effort to implement.
+
+41. I'm having a problem with the zip functions in zlib, can you help?
+
+    There are no zip functions in zlib.  You are probably using minizip by
+    Giles Vollant, which is found in the contrib directory of zlib.  It is not
+    part of zlib.  In fact none of the stuff in contrib is part of zlib.  The
+    files in there are not supported by the zlib authors.  You need to contact
+    the authors of the respective contribution for help.
+
+42. The match.asm code in contrib is under the GNU General Public License.
+    Since it's part of zlib, doesn't that mean that all of zlib falls under the
+    GNU GPL?
+
+    No.  The files in contrib are not part of zlib.  They were contributed by
+    other authors and are provided as a convenience to the user within the zlib
+    distribution.  Each item in contrib has its own license.
+
+43. Is zlib subject to export controls?  What is its ECCN?
+
+    zlib is not subject to export controls, and so is classified as EAR99.
+
+44. Can you please sign these lengthy legal documents and fax them back to us
+    so that we can use your software in our product?
+
+    No. Go away. Shoo.
