-	Backport of some changes made to the Tcl head, to handle literal
-	sharing better. The code here is much simpler (trimmed down)
-	compared to the head as the 8.4 branch is not bytecode compiling
-	whole files, and doesn't compile eval'd code either.
-	
-	Reworked the handling of literal command arguments in bytecode to
-	be saved (compiler) and used (execution) per command (See the
-	TCL_INVOKE_STK* instructions), and not per the whole bytecode.
-	This removes the problems with location data caused by literal
-	sharing in proc bodies. Simplified the associated datastructures
-	(ExtIndex is gone, as is the function EnterCmdWordIndex).
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	[Bug 3285472]: Repair corruption in

-	* generic/tclCompile.c: The value stashed in iPtr->compiledProcPtr
-	* generic/tclProc.c:    when compiling a proc survives too long.  We
-	* tests/execute.test:   only need it there long enough for the right
-	TclInitCompileEnv() call to re-stash it into envPtr->procPtr.  Once
-	that is done, the CompileEnv controls.  If we let the value of
-	iPtr->compiledProcPtr linger, though, then any other bytecode compile
-	operation that takes place will also have its CompileEnv initialized
-	with it, and that's not correct.  The value is meant to control the
-	compile of the proc body only, not other compile tasks that happen
-	along.  Thanks to Carlos Tasada for discovering and reporting the
-	problem.  [Bug 2802881].

+	* win/tclWinFile.c: (WinSymLinkDirectory): Fixed a problem that
+	Tcl was creating an NTFS junction point (IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT)

+	(SymbolicLinkReparseBuffer) was misdefined in this file and in the

+	* generic/tclIORChan.c: Fixed a problem with reflected channels. 'chan

-2004-05-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+	Fixed by creating a second per-interpreter channel table, just for

+
+	*** 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.

+2007-07-11  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Added a "parseOnly" flag argument to

+	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

+	stopping with the START lexeme (node 0) is sufficient. Also finished
+	lexeme code commentary.

-	* win/tclWinPort.h:
-	* win/tclWinSock.c:  This patch does two things:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: INST_INVOKE optimisation. [Patch 1693802]
 
-	1) Cleans-up the winsock typedefs by using the typedefs provided by
-	winsock2.h. This has no effect on how winsock is initialized; just
-	makes the source code easier to read. [Patch 561305, 561301]
+2007-04-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
 
-	2) Revamps how the socket message handler thread is brought up and
-	down to allow for cleaner exits without the use of TerminateThread().
-	TerminateThread is evil. No attempt has been made to resolve [Bug
-	593810] which may need a new channel driver version for adding a
-	registering function within the transfered thread to init the handler
-	thread. IOW, initialization of the TSD structure is getting bypassed
-	through the thread extension's [thread::transfer] command.
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	Revised ErrorCodeRead and ErrorInfoRead trace
+	routines so they guarantee the ::errorCode and ::errorInfo variable
+	always appear to exist. [Bug 1693252]

-	terminated ('cept the winsock one). Instead, use kernel events to

+	* 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.
 
-	*** macosx-8-4-branch merged into the mainline [Patch 602770] ***
+	* 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.
 
-	* generic/tcl.decls: added new macosx specific entry to stubs table.
+2006-12-11  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
 
-	* tools/genStubs.tcl: added generation of platform guards for macosx.
-	This is a little more complex than it seems, because MacOS X IS "unix"
-	plus a little bit, for the purposes of Tcl. BUT unfortunately, Tk uses
-	"unix" to mean X11. So added platform keys for macosx (the little
-	added to "unix"), "aqua" and "x11" to distinguish these for Tk.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Another step with all sorting operator
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c: commands now routing through TEBC via
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: TclSortingOpCmd().
 
-	* generic/tcl.h: added a #ifnded RESOURCE_INCLUDED so that tcl.h can
-	be passed to the resource compiler.
+2006-12-08  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
 
-	* generic/tcl.h:
-	* generic/tclNotify.c: added a few Notifier procs, to be able to
-	modify more bits of the Tcl notifier dynamically. Required to get Mac
-	OS X Tk to live on top of the Tcl Unix threaded notifier.  Changes the
-	size of the Tcl_NotifierProcs structure, but doesn't move any elements
-	around.
+	* 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.
 
-	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: moved the call to Tcl_ConditionNotify till
-	AFTER we are done mucking with the pointer swap. Fixes cases where the
-	thread waiting on the condition wakes & accesses the waitingListPtr
-	before it gets reset, causing a hang.
+	* 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.
 
-	* library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary): added checking the directories
-	in the tcl_pkgPath for library files on macosx to enable support of
-	the standard Mac OSX library locations
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: Change TclExecuteByteCode() from static to
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: MODULE_SCOPE so all files including
+	tclCompile.h may call it.
 
-	* unix/Makefile.in:
-	* unix/configure.in:
-	* unix/tcl.m4: added MAC_OSX_DIR. Added PLAT_OBJS to the OBJS: there
-	are some MacOS X specific files now for Tcl, and when I get he
-	resource & applescript stuff ported over, and restore support for
-	FindFiles, etc, there will be a few more. Added LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR
-	configure variable to avoid having to set all possible LD_LIBRARY_PATH
-	analogues on all platforms. LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR is "LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
-	by default, "LIBPATH" on AIX, "SHLIB_PATH" on HPUX and
-	"DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" on Mac OSX. Added configure option to package Tcl
-	as a framework on Mac OSX.
-
-	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c (new): support for finding Tcl extension
-	packaged as 'bundles' in the standard Mac OSX library locations.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: added support for findig the tcl script library
-	inside Tcl packaged as a framework on Mac OSX.
-
-	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser (new):
-	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj (new): project for Apple's
-	ProjectBuilder IDE.

-	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Corrected suppression of -verbose skip
-	* tests/tcltest.test:		and start by [test -output]. Also
-	corrected test suite errors exposed by corrected code. [Bug 564656]
+	* tests/pkg.test: Added test for version comparison at the 32bit
+	boundary. [Bug 1563836]
 
-2002-06-25  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+	* 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]
 
-	* unix/tcl.m4:	     New macro SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES.
-	* unix/configure.in: Added support for symlinks and compression

-	- elimination of 103 (!) TclDecrRefCount macros. The different
-	  instructions now jump back to a common "DecrRefCount zone" at the

-	  "NEXT_INST_F" and "NEXT_INST_V" that take three params
-	  (pcAdjustment, # of stack objects to discard, resultObjPtr handling
-	  flag). The only instructions that retain a TclDecrRefCount are
-	  INST_POP (for speed), the common code for the non-immediate
-	  INST_INCR, INST_FOREACH_STEP and the two INST_LSET.
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	Dropped ParseInteger() routine. TclParseNumber
+	covers the task just fine.
 
-	The object size of tclExecute.o was reduced by approx 20% since the

-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fixes to Tcl_FSLoadFile when called on a file
-	inside a vfs. This should avoid leaving temporary files sitting around
-	on exit. [Bug 545579]
-
-2002-05-27  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
-	* win/tclWinError.c: Added comment on conversion of
-	ERROR_NEGATIVE_SEEK because that is a mapping that really belongs, and
-	not a catch-all case.
-	* win/tclWinPort.h (EOVERFLOW): Should be either EFBIG or EINVAL
-	* generic/tclPosixStr.c (Tcl_ErrnoId, Tcl_ErrnoMsg): EOVERFLOW can
-	potentially be a synonym for EINVAL.

-
-	=== Changes due to TIP#91 ===
-
-	* win/tclWinPort.h: Added declaration of EOVERFLOW.
-	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Added documentation of wideSeekProc.
-	* generic/tclIOGT.c (TransformSeekProc, TransformWideSeekProc):
-	Adapted to use the new channel mechanism.
-	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileSeekProc, FileWideSeekProc): Renamed
-	FileSeekProc to FileWideSeekProc and created new FileSeekProc which
-	has the old-style interface and which errors out with EOVERFLOW when
-	the returned file position can't fit into the return type (int for
-	historical reasons.)
-	* win/tclWinChan.c (FileSeekProc, FileWideSeekProc): Renamed
-	FileSeekProc to FileWideSeekProc and created new FileSeekProc which
-	has the old-style interface and which errors out with EOVERFLOW when
-	the returned file position can't fit into the return type (int for
-	historical reasons.)
-	* mac/tclMacChan.c (FileSeek): Reverted to old interface; Macs lack
-	large-file support because I can't see how to add it.
-	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek, Tcl_Tell): Given these functions
-	knowledge of the new arrangement of channel types.
-	(Tcl_ChannelVersion): Added recognition of new version code.
-	(HaveVersion): New function to do version checking.
-	(Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc, Tcl_ChannelFlushProc)
-	(Tcl_ChannelHandlerProc): Made these functions use HaveVersion for
-	ease of future maintainability.
-	(Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc): Obvious lookup function.
-	* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_ChannelType): New wideSeekProc field, and
-	seekProc type restored to old interpretation.
-	(TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_3): New channel version.

-2002-05-24  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* tests/winPipe.test: Applied patch for [Bug 549617]. Patch and bug
-	report by Kevin Kenny <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>.
-
-	* win/tclWinSock.c (TcpWatchProc): Fixed [Bug 557878]. We are not
-	allowed to mess with the watch mask if the socket is a server socket.
-	I believe that the original reporter is George Peter Staplin.
-
-2002-05-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* unix/configure: Regen.
-	* unix/configure.in: Invoke SC_ENABLE_SHARED before calling
-	SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS so that the SHARED_BUILD variable can be checked
-	inside SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS.
-	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Pass -non_shared instead of -shared
-	to ld when configured with --disable-shared under OSF. [Bug 540390]
-
-2002-05-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h: added prototype for TclpFilesystemPathType().
-	* mac/tclMacChan.c: use MSL provided creator type if available instead
-	of the default 'MPW '.
-
-2002-05-16  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sf.net>
-
-	* doc/CrtObjCmd.3: Added Tcl_GetCommandFromObj, Tcl_GetCommandFullName
-	[Bugs 547987, 414921]
-
-2002-05-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
-	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyOutputProc): #if/#endif-ed this function out
-	to stop compiler warnings. Also much general tidying of comments in
-	this file and removal of whitespace from blank lines.
-
-2002-05-13  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
-	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (SETBREAK): Solaris thinks ioctl() takes a signed
-	second argument, and Linux thinks ioctl() takes an unsigned second
-	argument. So need a longer definition of this macro to get neither to
-	spew warnings...

-
-	* generic/tclEvent.c:
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
-	* generic/tclInt.h: clean up all memory allocated by the filesystem,
-	via introduction of 'TclFinalizeFilesystem'. Move TclFinalizeLoad into
-	TclFinalizeFilesystem so we can be sure it is called at just the right
-	time. Fix bad comment also. [Bug 555078 and 'fs' part of 543549]
-	* win/tclWinChan.c: fix comment referring to wrong function.

-	* tools/man2help.tcl: Include Courier New font in rtf header.
-	* tools/man2help2.tcl: Improved handling of CS/CE fields. Use Courier
-	New for code samples and indent better.

-
-	* generic/tclFileName.c: fix to freeing a bad object (i.e. segfault)
-	when using 'glob -types nonsense -dir dirname'.
-	* generic/tclWinFile.c: fix to [Bug 551306], also wrapped some long

-	calling of Tcl_ConditionWait to ensure that there would be a condition
-	to wait upon.
+	* 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.

+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.

-	* win/tclWinPort.h: Const-ing 64-bit compatability declarations.
-	Note that the return pointer is non-const because it is entirely
-	legal for the functions to be called from somewhere that owns the
-	string being passed.  Fixes problem reported by Larry Virden.
+	* tests/fCmd.test: added knownBug test case for [Bug 1394972]
 
-2002-02-21  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+	* 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]
 
-	* win/mkd.bat (removed):
-	* win/coffbase.txt (new):
-	* win/makefile.bc:
-	* win/makefile.vc:  Changed the 'setup' target to stop using the
-	mkd.bat file and just make the directory right in the rule. Same
-	change to makefile.bc. configure.in nor Makefile.in use it.
+2006-03-17  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
 
-	coffbase.txt will be the master list for our "prefered base addresses"
-	set by the linker. This should improve load-time (NT only) by avoiding
-	relocations. Submissions to the list by extension authors are
-	encouraged.
+	* doc/chan.n: Updated with documentation for the commands 'chan
+	create' and 'chan postevent' (TIP #219).
 
-	Added a 'tidy' target to compliment 'clean' and 'hose' to remove just
-	the outputs. Also removed the $(winlibs) macro as it wasn't being
-	used.
+	* doc/refchan.n: New file. Documentation of the command handler API
+	for reflected channels (TIP #219).
 
-	Stuff left to do:
-	1) get the winhelp target to stop building in the tools/ directory.
-	2) stop using rmd.bat
-	3) add more dependacy rules.

-	* win/tclAppInit.c: Reverted back to -r1.6, as the header file change

-	* win/makefile.vc:
-	* win/rules.vc: Added a new "loimpact" option that sets the

+2006-03-16  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
 
-	* win/tclAppInit.c: Changed #include "tcl.h" to be tclPort.h to remove
-	the raw windows.h include. tclPort.h brings in windows.h already and
-	lessens the pre-compiled-header mush and the randomly useless #pragma
-	comment (lib,...) references throughout the big windows.h tree (as

-	* generic/tcl.h: Better guessing of LP64/ILP32 architecture, but
-	now sensitive to presence of (suitable) <limits.h>
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclGetOpenMode): Added the flag O_APPEND to the
+	list of POSIX modes used when opening a file for 'a'ppend. This

-	* win/buildall.vc.bat:
-	* win/makefile.vc:
-	* win/rules.vc: General clean-ups. Added compiler and linker tests for
-	a) the pentium 0x0F errata, b) optimizing (not all have this), and c)
-	linker v6 section alignment confusion. All these are tested first to
-	make sure any D4002 or LNK1117 warnings aren't displayed. The pentium
-	0x0F errata is a recommended switch. The v5 linker's section alignment
-	default is 512, but the v6 linker was changed to 4096 in an attempt to
-	speed loading on Win98. I changed the default to always be 512 across
-	both linkers, unless linking statically, then 4096 is used for the
-	claimed speed effect. Using a 512 alignment saves 12k bytes of dead
-	space in the DLL.
+2006-03-15  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
 
-	Added IA64 B-stepping errata switch when the compiler supports it.
+	* win/fCmd.test: add proper test constraints so the new tests don't
+	run on Unix.
 
-	Added profiling to $(lflags) when requested and also removed the
-	explict -entry option as the default works fine as is.
+2006-03-14  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
 
-	Removed win/tclWinInit.c from the special case section to let it use
-	the common implicit rule as the $(EXTFLAGS) macro it had was never

-
-	+----------------------+
-	| TIP #72 IMPLEMENTED. |
-	+----------------------+
-
-	There are a lot of changes from this TIP, so please see
-	http://tip.tcl.tk/72.html for discussion of backward-compatability
-	issues, but the main ones modifications are in:
-
-	* generic/tcl.h: New types.
-	* generic/tcl.decls: New public functions.
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: 64-bit aware bytecode engine.
-	* generic/tclBinary.c: 64-bit handling in [binary] command.
-	* generic/tclScan.c: 64-bit handling in [scan] command.
-	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: 64-bit handling in [file] and [format]
-	commands.
-	* generic/tclBasic.c: New "wordSize" entry in ::tcl_platform.
-	* generic/tclFCmd.c: Large-file support (with many consequences.)
-	* generic/tclIO.c: Large-file support (with many consequences.)
-	* compat/strtoll.c, compat/strtoull.c: New support functions.
-	* unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: 64-bit support and greatly enhanced
-	cacheing.
-
-	Most other changes, including all those in doc/* and test/* as well as
-	the majority in the platform directories, follow on from these.
-
-	Also coming out of the woodwork:
-	* generic/tclIndex.c: Better support for Cray PVP.
-	* win/tclWinMtherr.c: Better Borland support.
-
-	Note that, in a number of places through the Unix part of the platform
-	support, there are Tcl_Platform* references. These are expanded into
-	the correct way to call that particular underlying function, i.e. with
-	or without a '64' suffix, and should be used by people working on the
-	core in preference to the API functions they overlay so that the code
-	remains portable depending on the presence or absence of 64-bit
-	support on the underlying platform.
-
-	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: Extracted from the TIP
-
-	SUMMARY OF INCOMPATIBILITIES AND FIXES
-	======================================
-
-	The behaviour of expressions containing constants that appear positive
-	but which have a negative internal representation will change, as
-	these will now usually be interpreted as wide integers. This is always
-	fixable by replacing the constant with int(constant).
-
-	Extensions creating new channel types will need to be altered as
-	different types are now in use in those areas. The change to the
-	declaration of Tcl_FSStat and Tcl_FSLstat (which are the new preferred
-	API in any case) are less serious as no non-alpha releases have been
-	made yet with those API functions.
-
-	Scripts that are lax about the use of the l modifier in format and
-	scan will probably need to be rewritten. This should be very uncommon
-	though as previously it had absolutely no effect.
-
-	Extensions that create new math functions that take more than one
-	argument will need to be recompiled (the size of Tcl_Value changes),
-	and functions that accept arguments of any type (TCL_EITHER) will need
-	to be rewritten to handle wide integer values. (I do not expect this
-	to affect many extensions at all.)
-
-2002-02-14  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Trivial fix for [Bug 517503], a
-	memory leak reported by Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>.
-	The leak happens if an error occurs for "set var [gets $chan]" and
-	leak one empty object.

-	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:
-	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:
-	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:  Early stage of DJGPP support for building Tcl
-	on DOS. Dynamic loading isn't working, yet. Requires watt32 for the
-	TCP/IP stack. No autoconf, yet. Barely tested, but makes a working exe
-	that runs Tcl in protected-mode, flat memory. [exec] and pipes will
-	need the most work as multi-tasking on DOS has to be carefully.
+	* unix/configure.in:	Revert change from 2005-07-26 that sometimes
+	* unix/configure:	added $prefix/share to the tcl_pkgPath. See

-	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
-	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: added thread-safe versions of readdir,
-	localtime, gmtime and inet_ntoa for threaded build. (jgdavidson)
+	* generic/tclIO.c: Calls TclpFinalizeSockets() as part of the
+	TclFinalizeIOSubsystem().
 
-	* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): prevented ckfree being
-	called on a pointer to NULL.
+	* unix/tclUnixSock.c: Added no-op TclpFinalizeSockets().
 
-2002-02-07  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+	* 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.

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

-	Before the patch the generic I/O layer held an unannounced reference
-	to the interp result to store the read line into. This unfortunately
-	has disastrous results if the channel driver executes a Tcl script to
-	perform its operation, this freeing the interp result. In that case we
-	are dereferencing essentially a dangling reference. It is not truly
-	dangling because the object is in the free list, but this only causes
-	us to smash the free list and have the error occur later somewhere
-	else. The patch simply creates a new object for the line and later
-	sets it into the interp result when we are done with reading.

-	* doc/Tcl_Main.3:

-
-		* Interactive Tcl_Main can now enter a main loop, exit that
-		  loop and continue interactive operations. The loop may even
-		  exit in the midst of interactive command typing without loss
-		  of the partial command. [Bugs 486453, 474131]
-		* Tcl_Main now gracefully handles deletion of its master
-		  interpreter.
-		* Interactive Tcl_Main can now operate with non-blocking stdin
-		* Interactive Tcl_Main can now detect EOF on stdin even in
-		  mid-command.	[Bug 491341]
-		* Added VFS-aware internal routines for managing the startup
-		  script selection.
-		* Tcl variable 'tcl_interactive' is now linked to C variable
-		  'tty' so that one can disable/enable interactive prompts at
-		  the script level when there is no startup script. This is
-		  meant for use by the test suite.
-		* Consistent use of the Tcl libraries standard channels as
-		  returned by Tcl_GetStdChannel(); as opposed to the channels
-		  named 'stdin', 'stdout', and 'stderr' in the master interp,
-		  which can be different or unavailable.
-		* Tcl_Main now calls Tcl_Exit() if evaluation of [exit] in the
-		  master interpreter returns, assuring Tcl_Main does not
-		  return.
-		* Documented Tcl_Main's absence from public stub table
-		* Documented that Tcl_Main does not return.
-		* Documented Tcl variables set by Tcl_Main.
-		* All prompts are done from a single procedure, Prompt.
-		* Use of Tcl_Obj-enabled interfaces everywhere.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.decls (TclGetStartupScriptPath,
-	(TclSetStartupScriptPath): New internal VFS-aware routines for
-	managing the startup script of Tcl_Main.
-	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c: make genstubs

-	(Tcltest_Init,TestinterpdeleteCmd):

-	
-	    - string compare now takes optional length arg (for strncmp
-		behavior)
-                            
-            - added string equal (just a few lines of code blended
-                in with string compare)
-            
-            - added string icompare/iequal for case-insensitive comparisons
-            
-            - string index's index can now be ?end[+-]?expression
-                I made this change in the private TclGetIntForIndex,
-                which means that the list commands also benefit, as
-                well as string range, et al.
-            
-            - added [string repeat string count]
-                Repeats given string  number of times
-            
-            - added string replace, string equiv to lreplace
-              (quasi opposite of string range):
-                        string replace first last ?string?
-                Example of use, replacing end of string with ...
-                should the string be more than 16 chars long:
-                        string replace $string 16 end "..."
-                This just returns the string len < 16, so it
-                will only affect the long strings.
-            
-            - added optional first and last args to string to*
-                This allows you to just affect certain regions of
-                a string with the command (like just capping the
-                first letter).  I found the original totitle to
-                be too draconian to be useful.
-            
-            - added [string map charMap string]
-                where charMap is a {from to from to} list that equates to
-                what one might get from [array get].  Each  and

-	"?.?a?", "?.?b?" or "?.?.?". Could a "regexp" be used instead,
-	then it allows anything to be appended to the patchLevel

+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid):  When a process exits with an
+	exception, pass this notice on to the caller with a SIG* code rather
+	than truncating the exit code and missing the meaning. This allows
+	TclCleanupChildren() to report "CHILDKILLED".
+
+	This has a different behavior than unix in that closing the read pipe
+	to a process sends the SIGPIPE signal which is returned as a SIGPIPE
+	exit status. On windows, we send the process a CTRL_BREAK_EVENT and
+	get back a CONTROL_C_EXIT which is documented to mean a SIGINT which
+	seems wrong as a system, but is the correct exit status.

+
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:
+	* win/tclWinSock.c:  This patch does two things:
+
+	1) Cleans-up the winsock typedefs by using the typedefs provided by
+	winsock2.h. This has no effect on how winsock is initialized; just
+	makes the source code easier to read. [Patch 561305 561301]
+
+	2) Revamps how the socket message handler thread is brought up and
+	down to allow for cleaner exits without the use of TerminateThread().
+	TerminateThread is evil. No attempt has been made to resolve [Bug
+	593810] which may need a new channel driver version for adding a
+	registering function within the transfered thread to init the handler
+	thread. IOW, initialization of the TSD structure is getting bypassed
+	through the thread extension's [thread::transfer] command.

+	* win/tclWinThrd.c:
+	* win/tclWinTime.c:  General cleanup of all worker threads used by the
+	channel drivers. Eliminates the normal case where the worker thread is
+	terminated ('cept the winsock one). Instead, use kernel events to
+	signal a clean exit. Only when the worker thread is blocked on an I/O
+	call is the thread terminated. Essentially, this makes all other
+	channel worker threads behave like the PipeReaderThread() function for
+	it's cleaner exit behavior. This appears to fix [Bug 597924] but needs
+	3rd party confirmation to close the issue.

+
+2002-11-18  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread/TclpThreadExit): Fixed improper
+	compiler macros that missed the VC++ compiler. This resulted in VC++
+	builds using CreateThread()/ExitThread() in place of the proper
+	_beginthreadex()/_endthreadex(). This was a large error and am
+	surprised I missed seeing it earlier.
+
+2002-11-13  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/regexpComp.test: added tests 22.*
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): add left and right

+
+2002-11-11  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_Backslash): use TclUtfToUniChar.
+	(Tcl_StringCaseMatch): use TclUtfToUniChar and add further
+	optimizations for the one-byte/char case.
+
+	* generic/tclUtf.c: make use of TclUtfToUniChar macro throughout the
+	functions, and add extra optimization to Tcl_NumUtfChars for
+	one-byte/char case.
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (DisposeTraceResult, CallVarTraces): add proper
+	static declarations.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_GetCharLength): optimize for the ascii

+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey): move string++ lower to save an
+	instruction.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): improve INST_STR_CMP to
+	use memcmp in the one-byte/char case, also use direct index for
+	INST_STR_INDEX in that case.
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (UtfToUtfProc, UtfToUnicodeProc):
+	(TableFromUtfProc, EscapeFromUtfProc): Use TclUtfToUniChar.
+	(UnicodeToUtfProc, TableToUtfProc): add 1-byte char optimizations for
+	Tcl_UniCharToUtf call. These improve encoded channel conversion speeds
+	by up to 20%.
+
+	* tests/split.test: added 1-char string split tests
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SplitObjCmd): Use TclUtfToUniChar. Also
+	added a special case for single-ascii-char splits.
+	(Tcl_StringObjCmd): Use TclUtfToUniChar. For STR_RANGE, support
+	getting ranges of ByteArrays (reverts change from 2000-05-26).
+	(TraceExecutionProc) add proper static declaration.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: add macro version of Tcl_UtfToUniChar
+	(TclUtfToUniChar) that does the one-byte utf-char check without
+	calling Tcl_UtfToUniChar, for use by the core. This brings notable
+	speedups for primarily ascii string handling.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h (TCL_PATCH_LEVEL): bump to 8.4.1.1 for patchlevel
+	only. This interim number will only be reflected by [info patchlevel].
+
+2002-11-11  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* doc/Tcl.n: Corrected indentation of the new language. Oops.
+
+2002-11-10  Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>

+
+	* changes: Note TclInExit TclInThreadExit changes.

+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.

+
+2002-11-03  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c:  Calls Registry_Init() and Dde_Init() when
+	STATIC_BUILD and TCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES macros are set.
+
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/rules.vc:  linkexten option now sets the TCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES
+	macro which also adds the registry and dde object files to the link
+	of the shell. [Patch 479697] Also factored some additional macros that
+	will be helpful for extension authors. Version grepping of tcl.h will
+	need to be added to complete this.
+
+	* win/buildall.vc.bat: Added more descriptive commentary.
+
+2002-11-01  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinReg.c:  Changed the Tcl_PkgProvide() line to declare the
+	registry extension at version 1.1 from 1.0.
+
+2002-10-31  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/word.tcl: Changed $tcl_platform to $::tcl_platform to avoid

+
+2002-10-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: added comments about certain NULL function
+	pointers which will be filled in when Tcl_FindExecutable is called, so
+	that users don't report invalid bugs on this topic. (No code changes
+	at all).
+
+2002-10-29  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpFindSymbol): pass all dyld error messages

+	* library/tclIndex:	[Patch 624509] (steffen)
+
+2002-10-26  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: xcopy on NT 4.0 doesn't support the /Y switch
+	(overwrite). Added logic to handle this. [Bug 618019]
+
+2002-10-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Removed definitions of obsolete HistoryEvent and

+
+2002-10-22  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/StringObj.3, doc/Object.3: Documented that Tcl_Obj's standard
+	string form is a modified UTF-8; apparently, this was not mentioned
+	anywhere in the main docs, and lead to [Bug 624919].
+

+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: bumped version to 8.4.1

+
+2002-09-29  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c: Added proper exiting conditions using Win32
+	console signals. This handles the existing lack of a Ctrl+C exit to
+	call exit handlers when built for thread support. Also, properly
+	handles exits from other conditions such as CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT,

+	exit handlers will be called. [Bug 219355]

+	(TclpSysRealloc): Define for Cygwin.
+
+2002-09-26  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Makefile: preserve environment value of INSTALL_ROOT. When
+	embedding only use deployment build. Force relink before embedded
+	build to ensure new linker flags are picked up.
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: add symbolic links to debug lib,
+	stub libs and tclConfig.sh in framework toplevel. Configure target
+	dependency fix. Fix to 'clean' action. Added private tcl headers to

+	Thanks to 'CoderX2' on the chat for bringing this to my attention...
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: Forgot to define TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG at the
+	appropriate moment. I believe this is the cause of [Bug 613117]
+
+	* doc/lset.n: Changed 'list' to 'varName' for consistency with lappend
+	documentation. Thanks to Glenn Jackman [Bug 611719]
+
+2002-09-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Corrected [puts -nonewline] within

+
+	* win/coffbase.txt: Added BLT to the virtual base address listings

+
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* mac/tclMacApplication.r:
+	* mac/tclMacLibrary.r:
+	* mac/tclMacResource.r: unified use of the two equivalent resource

+
+2002-09-10  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: disabled building html
+	documentation during embedded build.
+
+2002-09-10  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: added DYLIB_INSTALL_DIR variable for macosx and
+	set it to default value ${LIB_RUNTIME_DIR}
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): use DYLIB_INSTALL_DIR instead of
+	LIB_RUNTIME_DIR in the -install_name argument to ld.
+	* unix/configure: regen.
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
+	* macosx/Makefile: added support for building Tcl as an embedded
+	framework, i.e. using an dyld install_name containing
+	@executable_path/../Frameworks via the new DYLIB_INSTALL_DIR
+	unix/Makefile variable.

+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:  Added examples section, as long promised.
+
+2002-09-06  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

+
+2002-09-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:  Clarified phrasing.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand,CallCommandTraces):

+	Lavana for the fix. [Bug 604609]
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclDeleteVars):  Corrected logic for setting the

+
+2002-09-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (DeleteArray): leak plug [Bug 604239]. Thanks to
+	dkf and dgp for the long and difficult discussion in the chat.
+
+2002-09-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UpVar2): code cleanup to not use goto
+
+	* unix/configure: remove -pthread from LIBS on FreeBSD in thread
+	* unix/tcl.m4:    enabled build. [Bug 602849]
+
+2002-09-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (AliasCreate): a Tcl_Obj was leaked on error
+	return from TclPreventAliasLoop.
+
+2002-09-03  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: Bumped version number to 8.4.0
+	and updated copyright info.
+
+2002-09-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UpVar2): a Tcl_Obj was being leaked on error

+2002-09-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes:  Updated changes for 8.4.0 release.
+
+2002-09-02  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c (TclpObjLink): removed unnecessary/unfreed extra
+	native char*.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (Tcl_MakeTcpClientChannel): make sure to init
+	flags field of TcpState ptr to 0.
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tcl.m4: added 64-bit gcc compilation support on HP-11.
+	[Patch 601051] (martin)
+
+	* README:		Bumped version number to 8.4.0
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* unix/tcl.spec:
+	* win/README.binary:
+	* win/configure:
+	* win/configure.in:
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (SlaveCreate): make sure that the memory and
+	checkmem commands are initialized in non-safe slave interpreters when
+	TCL_MEM_DEBUG is used. [Bug 583445]
+
+	* win/tclWinConsole.c (ConsoleCloseProc): only wait on writable pipe
+	if there was something to write. This may prevent infinite wait on
+	exit.
+
+	* tests/exec.test: marked exec-18.1 unixOnly until the Windows
+	incompatability (in the test, not the core) can be resolved.
+
+	* tests/http.test (http-3.11): added close $fp that was causing an
+	error on Windows because the file was not closed before deleting.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (Tcl_MacOSXGetLibraryPath): made this static
+	function only appear when HAVE_CFBUNDLE is defined.
+
+2002-08-31  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: added TK_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS analogue of existing
+	TCL_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS for linker settings only used when linking Tk.
+
+	* unix/configure: regen
+
+2002-08-31  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	*** macosx-8-4-branch merged into the mainline [Patch 602770] ***
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls: added new macosx specific entry to stubs table.
+
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl: added generation of platform guards for
+	macosx. This is a little more complex than it seems, because MacOS X
+	IS "unix" plus a little bit, for the purposes of Tcl. BUT
+	unfortunately, Tk uses "unix" to mean X11. So added platform keys for
+	macosx (the little added to "unix"), "aqua" and "x11" to distinguish
+	these for Tk.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: added a #ifnded RESOURCE_INCLUDED so that tcl.h can
+	be passed to the resource compiler.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclNotify.c: added a few Notifier procs, to be able to
+	modify more bits of the Tcl notifier dynamically. Required to get Mac
+	OS X Tk to live on top of the Tcl Unix threaded notifier. Changes the
+	size of the Tcl_NotifierProcs structure, but doesn't move any elements
+	around.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: moved the call to Tcl_ConditionNotify till
+	AFTER we are done mucking with the pointer swap. Fixes cases where the
+	thread waiting on the condition wakes & accesses the waitingListPtr
+	before it gets reset, causing a hang.
+
+	* library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary): added checking the directories
+	in the tcl_pkgPath for library files on macosx to enable support of
+	the standard Mac OSX library locations.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* unix/tcl.m4: added MAC_OSX_DIR. Added PLAT_OBJS to the OBJS: there
+	are some MacOS X specific files now for Tcl, and when I get the
+	resource & applescript stuff ported over, and restore support for
+	FindFiles, etc, there will be a few more. Added LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR
+	configure variable to avoid having to set all possible LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+	analogues on all platforms. LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR is "LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
+	by default, "LIBPATH" on AIX, "SHLIB_PATH" on HPUX and
+	"DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" on Mac OSX. Added configure option to package Tcl
+	as a framework on Mac OSX.
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c (new): support for finding Tcl extension
+	packaged as 'bundles' in the standard Mac OSX library locations.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: added support for findig the tcl script library
+	inside Tcl packaged as a framework on Mac OSX.
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser (new):
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj (new): project for Apple's
+	ProjectBuilder IDE.
+
+	* macosx/Makefile (new): simple makefile for building the project from
+	the command line via the ProjectBuilder tool 'pbxbuild'.
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h: regen
+
+2002-08-29  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpFinalizeThreadData, TclWinFreeAllocCache):
+	Applied patch for [Bug 599428], provided by Miguel Sofer
+	<msofer@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+2002-08-28  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclEnv.c:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:  putenv() on some systems copies the buffer rather
+	than taking reference to it. This causes memory leaks and is know to
+	effect mswindows (msvcrt) and NetBSD 1.5.2 . This patch tests for this
+	behavior and turns on -DHAVE_PUTENV_THAT_COPIES=1 when approriate.
+	Thanks to David Welton for assistance. [Bug 414910]
+
+	* unix/configure: regen'd
+
+2002-08-28  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/eval.n: Added mention of list command and corrected "SEE ALSO".
+
+	* unix/configure.in: Cache handling of ac_cv_type_socklen_t was wrong.
+	[Bug 600931] reported by John Ellson. Fixed by putting the brackets
+	where they belong.
+
+2002-08-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: fix for [Bug 599788] (error in element name
+	causing segfault), reported by Tom Wilkason. Fixed by copying the
+	tokens instead of the source string.
+
+2002-08-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: small optimisation, reducing the new
+	allocator's overhead.
+
+2002-08-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (USE_THREAD_ALLOC): fixed leak [Bug 597936]. Thanks
+	to Zoran Vasiljevic.
+
+2002-08-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (USE_THREAD_ALLOC): moving objects between
+	caches as a block, instead of one-by-one.
+
+2002-08-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: fix for freed memory r/w in delete traces [Bug
+	589863], patch by Hemang Lavana.
+
+2002-08-20  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in (CFLAGS):
+	* unix/Makefile.in (MEM_DEBUG_FLAGS): Added usage of @MEM_DEBUG_FLAGS@.
+	* win/configure.in:
+	* unix/configure.in: Added usage of SC_ENABLE_MEMDEBUG.
+	* win/tcl.m4:
+	* unix/tcl.m4: Added macro SC_ENABLE_MEMDEBUG. Allows a user of
+	configure to (de)activate memory validation and debugging
+	(TCL_MEM_DEBUG). No need to modify the makefile anymore.
+
+2002-08-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCkalloc.c:	CONSTified MemoryCmd and CheckmemCmd.
+
+	* README:		Bumped version number to 8.4b3 to distinguish
+	* generic/tcl.h:	HEAD from the 8.4b2 release.
+	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* unix/tcl.spec:
+	* win/README.binary:
+	* win/configure.in:
+
+	* unix/configure:	autoconf
+	* win/configure:
+
+	* library/http/http.tcl:	Corrected installation directory of
+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:	the package tcltest 2.2. Added
+	* library/opt/optparse.tcl:	comments in other packages to remind
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	that installation directories need
+	* unix/Makefile.in:		updates to match increasing version
+	* win/Makefile.in:		numbers. [Bug 597450]
+	* win/makefile.bc:
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+
+2002-08-19  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTest.c (TestfilehandlerCmd): Changed readable/writable
+	to the more common readable|writable. Fixes [Bug 596034] reported by
+	Larry Virden <lvirden@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+2002-08-16  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test: Added test to make sure that the cause of the
+	problem is detectable with an unpatched Tcl.
+	* doc/ObjectType.3: Added note on the root cause of this problem to
+	the documentation, since it is possible for user code to trigger this
+	sort of behaviour too.
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (SetFsPathFromAny): Objects should only have
+	their old representation deleted when we know that we are about to
+	install a new one. This stops a weird TclX bug under Linux with
+	certain kinds of memory debugging enabled which essentally came down
+	to a double-free of a string.
+
+2002-08-14  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclObj.c: (code cleanup) factored the parts in the macros
+	TclNewObj() / TclDecrRefCount() into a common part for all
+	memory allocators and two new macros TclAllocObjStorage() /
+	TclFreeObjStorage() that are specific to each allocator and fully
+	describe the differences. Removed allocator-specific code from
+	tclObj.c by using the macros.
+
+2002-08-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: fixing UMR in delete traces, [Bug 589863].
+
+2002-08-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tools/man2help.tcl: Fixed $argv handling bug where if -bitmap wasn't
+	specified $argc was off by one.
+
+2002-08-08  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/uplevel.test: added 6.1 to test [uplevel] with shadowed
+	commands [Bug 524383]
+
+	* tests/subst.test: added 5.8-10 as further tests for [Bug 495207]
+
+2002-08-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/README: Noted removal of defs.tcl.
+
+2002-08-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* doc/lsearch.n: corrected lsearch docs to use -inline in examples.
+
+	*** 8.4b2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test:
+	* tests/unixFCmd.test: updated tests for new link copy behavior.
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c (CopyRenameOneFile): changed the behavior to
+	follow links to endpoints and copy that file/directory instead of just
+	copying the surface link. This means that trying to copy a link that
+	has no endpoint (danling link) is an error. [Patch 591647] (darley)
+	(CopyRenameOneFile): this is currently disabled by default until
+	further issues with such behavior (like relative links) can be
+	handled correctly.
+
+	* tests/README: slight wording improvements
+
+2002-08-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* docs/BoolObj.3: added description of valid string reps for a
+	boolean object. [Bug 584794]
+	* generic/tclObj.c: optimised Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj and
+	SetBooleanFromAny to avoid parsing the string rep when it can be
+	avoided. [Bugs 584650, 472576]
+
+2002-08-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclObj.c: making tclCmdNameType static ([Bug 584567], Don
+	Porter).
+
+2002-08-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_NewObj): added conditional code for
+	USE_THREAD_ALLOC; objects allocated through Tcl_NewObj() were
+	otherwise being leaked. [Bug 587488] reported by Sven Sass.
+
+2002-08-06  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Added stubs and implementations for
+	non-threaded build for the tclUnixThrd.c procs TclpReaddir,
+	TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime and TclpInetNtoa. Fixes link errors in
+	stubbed & threaded extensions that include tclUnixPort.h and use any
+	of the procs readdir, localtime, gmtime or inet_ntoa (e.g. TclX 8.4)
+	[Bug 589526]
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regen.
+
+2002-08-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	The setup and cleanup scripts are now
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:	skipped when a test is skipped, fixing
+	* tests/tcltest.test:		[Bug 589859]. Test for bug added, and
+	corrected tcltest package bumped to version 2.2.
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	Restored Tcl_Concat to return (char *). Like
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	Tcl_Merge, it transfers ownership of a dynamic
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	allocated string to the caller.
+
+2002-08-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/CmdCmplt.3:	Applied Patch 585105 to fully CONST-ify all
+	* doc/Concat.3:		remaining public interfaces of Tcl. Notably,
+	* doc/CrtCommand.3:	the parser no longer writes on the string it
+	* doc/CrtSlave.3:	is parsing, so it is no longer necessary for
+	* doc/CrtTrace.3:	Tcl_Eval() to be given a writable string. Also
+	* doc/Eval.3:		the refactoring of the Tcl_*Var* routines by
+	* doc/ExprLong.3:	by Miguel Sofer is included, so that the
+	* doc/LinkVar.3:	"part1" argument for them no longer needs to
+	* doc/ParseCmd.3:	be writable either.
+	* doc/SetVar.3:
+	* doc/TraceVar.3:
+	* doc/UpVar.3:		Compatibility support has been enhanced so
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	that a #define of USE_NON_CONST will remove
+	* generic/tcl.h:	all possible source incompatibilities with the
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	8.3 version of the header file(s). The new
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	#define of USE_COMPAT_CONST now does what
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:USE_NON_CONST used to do -- disable only those
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:new CONST's that introduce irreconcilable
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:	incompatibilities.
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	Several bugs are also fixed by this patch.
+	* generic/tclEnv.c:	[Bugs 584051,580433] [Patches 585105,582429]

+2002-08-01  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: bugfix (reading freed memory). Testsuite
+	passed on linux/i386, compile-13.1 hung on linux/alpha.
+
+2002-08-01  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: added a reference count for the complete
+	execution stack, instead of Tcl_Preserve/Tcl_Release.
+
+2002-08-01  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCkalloc.c (TclFinalizeMemorySubsystem): Don't lock the
+	ckalloc mutex before invoking the Tcl_DumpActiveMemory function since
+	it also locks the same mutex. This code is only executed when "memory
+	onexit filename" has been executed and Tcl is compiled with
+	-DTCL_MEM_DEBUG.
+
+2002-08-01  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: The windows headers don't provide socklen_t, so we
+	have to do it.
+
+2002-07-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (USE_THREAD_ALLOC): for unshared objects,
+	TclDecrRefCount now frees the internal rep before the string rep -
+	just like the non-macro Tcl_DecrRefCount/TclFreeObj [Bug 524802]. For
+	the other allocators the fix was done on 2002-03-06.
+
+2002-07-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c: signed/unsigned comparison warning fixed
+	(Vince Darley).
+
+2002-07-31  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_BUGGY_STRTOD): Enabled caching of test results.
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_BUGGY_STRTOD): Solaris 2.8 still has a buggy
+	strtod() implementation; make sure we detect it.
+
+	* tests/expr.test (expr-22.*): Marked as non-portable because it seems
+	that these tests have an annoying tendency to fail in unexpected ways.
+	[Bugs 584825, 584950, 585986]
+
+2002-07-30  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/io.test:
+	* generic/tclIO.c (WriteChars): Added flag to break out of loop if
+	nothing of the input is consumed at all, to prevent infinite looping
+	of called with a non-UTF-8 string. Fixes Bug 584603 (partially). Added
+	new test "io-60.1". Might need additional changes to Tcl_Main so that
+	unprintable results are printed as binary data.
+
+2002-07-29  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Use CC_SEARCH_FLAGS instead of LD_SEARCH_FLAGS
+	when linking with ${CC}.
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/configure.in: Don't subst CC_SEARCH_FLAGS or LD_SEARCH_FLAGS
+	since this is now done in tcl.m4.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Document and set CC_SEARCH_FLAGS
+	whenever LD_SEARCH_FLAGS is set. [Patch 588290]
+
+2002-07-29  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_SERIAL_PORT): Fixed detection for cases when
+                                        configure's stdin is not a tty.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+	* generic/tclIOSock.c:          Changed size_t to socklen_t in
+                                        socket-related function calls.
+
+	* unix/configure.in:            Added test and fallback definition
+                                        for socklen_t.
+

+2002-07-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c: fixed a comment
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclInterp.c: added the new flag TCL_EVAL_INVOKE to the
+	interface of the Tcl_Eval* functions, removing the
+	TCL_EVAL_NO_TRACEBACK added yesterday: alias invocations not only
+	require no tracebacks, but also look up the command name in the global
+	scope - see new test interp-9.4
+	* tests/interp.test: added 9.3 to test for safety of aliases to hidden
+	commands, 9.4 to test for correct command lookup scope.
+
+2002-07-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

+	concept on western characters, so should not allow any unicode digit,
+	and hence number of ranges in [[:xdigit:]] is fixed.
+	* tests/reg.test: Added test to detect the bug.
+	* generic/regc_cvec.c (newcvec): Corrected initial size value in
+	character vector structure. [Bug 578363] Many thanks to
+	pvgoran@users.sf.net for tracking this down.
+
+2002-07-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: added the new flag TCL_EVAL_NO_TRACEBACK to the
+	interface of the Tcl_Eval* functions. Modified the error message for
+	too many nested evaluations.
+	* generic/tclInterp.h: changed the Alias struct to be of variable
+	length and store the prefix arguments directly (instead of a pointer
+	to a Tcl_Obj list). Made AliasObjCmd call Tcl_EvalObjv instead of
+	TclObjInvoke - thus making aliases trigger execution traces [Bug
+	582522].
+	* tests/interp.test:
+	* tests/stack.test: adapted to the new error message.
+	* tests/trace.test: added tests for aliases firing the exec traces.
+
+2002-07-27  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Revert fix for Tcl bug 529801 since it was
+	incorrect and broke the build on other systems. Fix [Bug 587299]. Add
+	MAJOR_VERSION, MINOR_VERSION, PATCH_LEVEL, SHLIB_LD_FLAGS,
+	SHLIB_LD_LIBS, CC_SEARCH_FLAGS, LD_SEARCH_FLAGS, and LIB_FILE
+	variables to support more generic library build/install rules.
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/configure.in: Move AC_PROG_RANLIB into tcl.m4. Move shared
+	build test and setting of MAKE_LIB and MAKE_STUB_LIB into tcl.m4. Move
+	subst of a number of variables into tcl.m4 where they are defined.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS, SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Subst vars where
+	they are defined. Add MAKE_LIB, MAKE_STUB_LIB, INSTALL_LIB, and
+	INSTALL_STUB_LIB rules to deal with the ugly details of running ranlib
+	on static libs at build and install time. Replace TCL_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS
+	with SHLIB_LD_FLAGS and use it when building a shared library.
+	* unix/tclConfig.sh.in: Add TCL_CC_SEARCH_FLAGS.
+
+2002-07-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: fixed Tcl_Obj leak in code corresponding to
+	the macro NEXT_INST_V(x, 0, 1) [Bug 587495].
+
+2002-07-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclObjLookupVar): leak fix and improved comments.
+
+2002-07-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): removed early returns that
+	prevented the parens from being restored. Also removed goto label as
+	it was not necessary.
+
+2002-07-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* tests/expr-old.test: fix for erroneous error messages in [expr],
+	[Bug 587140] reported by Martin Lemburg.
+
+2002-07-25  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c: fix for [Tk Bug 219218] "error handling with
+	bgerror in Tk"
+
+2002-07-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: restoring full TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG
+	functionality.
+
+2002-07-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test: relaxed unixInit-3.1 to accept iso8859-15 as a
+	valid C encoding. [Bug 575336]
+
+2002-07-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: restoring the tcl_traceCompile functionality
+	while I repair tcl_traceExec. The core now compiles and runs also
+	under TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG, but execution in the bytecode engine can
+	still not be traced.
+
+2002-07-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/configure.in: corrected fix for [Bug 529801]: ranlib only
+	needed for static builds on Mac OS X.
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c: fixed small bugs introduced by Vince,
+	implemented library unloading correctly (needs OS X 10.2).
+
+2002-07-23  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3: (Updates from Larry Virden)
+	* doc/open.n:
+	* doc/tclsh.1: Fix section numbers in Unix man page references.
+	* doc/lset.n:  In EXAMPLES section, include command to set the initial
+	value used in subsequent examples.
+	* doc/http.n: Package version updated to 2.4.
+
+2002-07-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Enable 64 bit compilation when using
+	the native compiler on a 64 bit version of IRIX. [Bug 219220]
+
+2002-07-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Combine ranlib tests and avoid printing unless
+	ranlib is actually run.
+
+2002-07-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_X): Set XINCLUDES to "" instead of "# no
+	special path needed" or "# no include files found" when x headers
+	cannot be located.
+
+2002-07-22  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: made tclNativeFilesystem static (since 07-19
+	changes removed its usage elsewhere), and added comments about its
+	usage.
+	* generic/tclLoad.c:
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: converted last load-related ClientData parameter
+	to Tcl_LoadHandle opaque structure, removing a couple of casts in the
+	process.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: removed tclNativeFilesystem declaration since it
+	is now static again.
+
+2002-07-22  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/expr.test (expr-22.*): Added tests to help detect the
+	corrected handling.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (IllegalExprOperandType): Improved error
+	message generated when attempting to manipulate Inf and NaN values.
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c (GetLexeme): Allowed parser to recognise
+	'Inf' as a floating-point number. [Bug 218000]
+
+2002-07-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tclIOUtil.c: Silence compiler warning. [Bug 584408].
+
+2002-07-19  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to GetFilesystemRecord
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c: fix to subtle problem with links shown up by
+	latest tclkit builds.
+
+2002-07-19  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* win/configure:
+	* win/configure.in: Add AC_PREREQ(2.13) in an attempt to make it more
+	clear that the configure scripts must be generated with autoconf
+	version 2.13. [Bug 583573]
+
+2002-07-19  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: fix to build on MacOS X [Bug 529801], bug report
+	and fix from jcw.
+
+2002-07-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c (no_timeout): Made this variable static.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c, generic/tclCompile.c, generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclCompile.h (builtinFuncTable, instructionTable): Added
+	prefix to these symbols because they are visible outside the Tcl
+	library.
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (operatorTable):
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (tmKey):
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (theFilesystemEpoch, filesystemWantToModify,
+	filesystemIteratorsInProgress, filesystemOkToModify): Made these
+	variables static.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:		Renamed nativeFilesystem to
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:		tclNativeFilesystem and declared
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:		it properly in tclInt.h
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+
+	* generic/tclUtf.c (totalBytes): Made this array static and const.
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (typeTable): Made this array static and const.
+	(Tcl_ParseBraces): Simplified error handling case so that scans are
+	only performed when needed, and flags are simpler too.
+
+	* license.terms: Added AS to list of copyright holders; it's only
+	fair for the current gatekeepers to be listed here!
+
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test: Renamed constraint for clarity. [Bug 583427]
+	Added tests for the [time] command, which was previously only
+	indirectly tested!
+
+2002-07-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* */*Load*.c: added comments on changes of 07/17 and replaced
+	clientData with Tcl_LoadHandle in all locations.
+
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c:
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: fixed a 'knownBug' with 'file attributes ""'
+	* tests/winFCmd.test:
+	* tests/winPipe.test:
+	* tests/fCmd.test:
+	* tessts/winFile.test: added 'pcOnly' constraint to some tests to make
+	for more useful 'tests skipped' log from running all tests on
+	non-Windows platforms.
+
+2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (CallCommandTraces): delete traces now receive
+	the FQ old name of the command. [Bug 582532] (Don Porter)
+
+2002-07-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/ioUtil.test: added constraints to 1.4,2.4 so they don't run
+	outside of tcltest. [Bugs 583276, 583277]
+
+2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (DupParsedVarName): nasty bug fixed, reported by
+	Vince Darley.
+
+2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclPtrIncrVar): missing CONST in declarations,
+	inconsistent with tclInt.h. Thanks to Vince Darley for reporting, boo
+	to gcc for not complaining.
+
+2002-07-17  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:

+	* unix/tclLoadOSF.c:
+	* unix/tclLoadShl.c:
+	* mac/tclMacLoad.c:
+	* win/tclWinLoad.c: modified to move more functionality to the generic
+	code and avoid duplication. Partial replacement of internal uses of
+	clientData with opaque Tcl_LoadHandle. A little further work still
+	needed, but significant changes are done.
+
+2002-07-17  D. Richard Hipp    <drh@hwaci.com>
+
+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: fix a comment that was causing problems
+	for programs (ex: mktclapp) that embed the initialization scripts in
+	strings.
+
+2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* generic/tclVar.c: removing the now redundant functions to access
+	indexed variables: Tcl(Get|Set|Incr)IndexedScalar() and
+	Tcl(Get|Set|Incr)ElementOfIndexedArray().
+
+2002-07-17  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Minor fixes to make this
+	file compile with SunPro CC...
+
+2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: modified to do variable lookup explicitly, and
+	then either inlining the variable access or else calling the new
+	TclPtr(Set|Get|Incr)Var functions in tclVar.c
+	* generic/tclInt.h: declare some functions previously local to
+	tclVar.c for usage by TEBC.
+	* generic/tclVar.c: removed local declarations; moved all special
+	accessor functions for indexed variables to the end of the file -
+	they are unused and ready for removal, but left there for the time
+	being as they are in the internal stubs table.
+
+	** WARNING FOR BYTECODE MAINTAINERS **
+	TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG is currently not functional; will be fixed ASAP.
+
+2002-07-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* win/Makefile.in: Add a more descriptive warning in the event `make
+	genstubs` needs to be rerun.
+
+2002-07-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Use dltest.marker file to keep track of when the
+	dltest package is up to date. This fixes [Bug 575768] since tcltest is
+	no longer linked every time.
+	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Create ../dltest.marker after a successful
+	`make all` run in dltest.
+
+2002-07-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/configure.in: Remove useless subst of TCL_BIN_DIR.
+
+2002-07-15  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: inaccurate comment fixed
+
+2002-07-15  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo):
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclUpdateReturnInfo):
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclProc.c:
+	Added two Tcl_Obj to the ExecEnv structure to hold the fully qualified
+	names "::errorInfo" and "::errorCode" to cache the addresses of the
+	corresponding variables. The two most frequent setters of these
+	variables now profit from the new variable name caching.
+
+2002-07-15  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: refactorisation to reuse already looked-up Var
+	pointers; definition of three new Tcl_Obj types to cache variable name
+	parsing and lookup for later reuse; modification of internal functions
+	to profit from the caching.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c: adding CONST qualifiers to variable names
+	passed to Tcl_FindNamespaceVar and to variable resolvers; adding CONST
+	qualifier to the 'msg' argument to TclLookupVar. Needed to avoid code
+	duplication in the new tclVar.c code.
+
+	* tests/set-old.test:
+	* tests/var.test: slight modification of error messages due to the
+	modifications in the tclVar.c code.
+
+2002-07-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test:	Improved constraints to protect /tmp. [Bug
+	581403]
+
+2002-07-15  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/winFCmd.test: renamed 'win2000' and 'notWin2000' to more
+	appropriate constraint names.
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: updated comments to reflect 07-11 changes.
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: made ConvertFileNameFormat static again, since no
+	longer used in tclWinFile.c
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c: completed TclpObjLink implementation which was
+	previously lacking.
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: comment cleanup and code speedup.
+
+2002-07-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Removed declarations that duplicated entries
+	in the (internal) stub table.
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Corrected errors in handling of
+	configuration options -constraints and -limitconstraints.
+
+	* README:		Bumped HEAD to version 8.4b2 so we can
+	* generic/tcl.h:	distinguish it from the 8.4b1 release.

+
+2002-07-11  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/file.n:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: on Win 95/98/ME the long form of the path is used
+	as a normalized form. This is required because short forms are not a
+	robust representation. The file normalization function has been sped
+	up, but more performance gains might be possible, if speed is still an
+	issue on these platforms.
+
+2002-07-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Corrected reaction to existing but
+	false ::tcl_interactive.
+
+	* doc/Hash.3: Overlooked CONST documentation update.
+
+2002-07-11  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: ckalloc() and friends take the block size as
+	an unsigned, so we should use %ud when reporting it in fprintf() and
+	panic().
+
+2002-07-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: now setting local vars undefined at compile
+	time, instead of waiting until the proc is initialized.
+	* generic/tclProc.c: use macro TclSetVarUndefined instead of directly
+	setting the flag.
+
+2002-07-11  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: [file attr -perm] is Unix-only, so add [catch]
+	when not inside a suitably-protected test.
+
+2002-07-10  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/unixFCmd.test, tests/fileName.test:
+	* tests/fCmd.test: Removed [exec] of Unix utilities that have
+	equivalents in standard Tcl. [Bug 579268] Also simplified some of
+	unixFCmd.test while I was at it.
+
+2002-07-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test:  Greatly reduced the number of [exec]s, using
+	slave interps instead.
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Fixed bug uncovered in the conversion
+	where a message was written to stdout instead of [outputChannel].
+
+	* tests/basic.test:	Cleaned up, constrained, and reduced the
+	* tests/compile.test:	amount of [exec] usage in the test suite.
+	* tests/encoding.test:
+	* tests/env.test:
+	* tests/event.test:

+2002-07-10  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: Removed [exec] of Unix utilities. [Bug 579211]
+
+	* tests/expr.test: Added tests to make sure that this works.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprCallMathFunc): Functions should also be
+	able to return wide-ints. [Bug 579284]
+
+2002-07-08  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/socket.test: Fixed [Bug 578164]. The original reason for the
+	was a DNS outage while running the testsuite. Changed [info hostname]
+	to 127.0.0.1 to bypass DNS, knowing that we operate on the local host.
+
+2002-07-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:		Fixed incompatibility in [viewFile].
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Corrected docs. Bumped to 2.2.1.
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: [Bug 578163]
+
+2002-07-08  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test:
+	* tests/fCmd.test:
+	* tests/fileName.test: tests which rely on 'file link' need a

+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* generic/tcl.h:

+	* generic/tclTest.c:
+	* mac/tclMacChan.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c:
+	* win/tclWinChan.c:
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: cleaned up internal handling of
+	Tcl_FSOpenFileChannel to remove duplicate code, and make writing
+	external vfs's clearer and easier. No functionality change. Also
+	clarify that objects with refCount zero should not be passed in to the
+	Tcl_FS API, and prevent segfaults from occuring on such user errors.
+	[Bug 578617]
+
+2002-07-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test:  Constrained tests of [load] package indexing
+	to those platforms where the testing shared libraries have been built.
+	[Bug 578166]
+
+2002-07-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes: added recent changes
+
+2002-07-05  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): Convert the format string to UTF8
+	before calling TclpStrftime, so that non-ASCII characters don't get
+	mangled when the result string is being converted back.
+	* tests/clock.test: Added a test for that.
+
+2002-07-05  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in (ro-test,ddd,GDB,DDD): Created new targets to
+	allow running the test suite with a read-only current directory,
+	running under ddd instead of gdb, and factored out some executable
+	names for broken sites (like mine) where gdb and ddd are installed
+	with non-standard names...
+
+	* tests/httpold.test: Altered test names to httpold-* to avoid clashes
+	with http.test, and stopped tests from failing when the current
+	directory is not writable...
+
+	* tests/event.test:		Stop these tests from failing when the

+
+	* tests/iogt.test: Fixed [Bug 575860].

+
+2002-07-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/pkg1/direct1.tcl: removed
+	* tests/pkg1/pkgIndex.tcl: removed
+	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test:  Imported auxilliary files from tests/pkg1
+	into the test file pkgMkIndex.test itself. Formatting fixes.

+	* tests/pkg/std.tcl: removed
+	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Fixed [Bug 575857] where this test file
+	expected to be able to write to [file join [testsDirectory] pkg]. Part
+	of the fix was to import several auxilliary files into the test file
+	itself.
+
+	* tests/main.test:	Cheap fix for [Bugs 575851, 575858]. Avoid
+	* tests/tcltest.test:	non-writable . by [cd [temporaryDirectory]].
+
+	* library/auto.tcl: Fix [tcl_findLibrary] to be sure it sets $varName
+	only if a successful library script is found. [Bug 577033]
+
+2002-07-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileCatchCmd): return
+	TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE instead of TCL_ERROR: let the failure happen at
+	runtime so that it can be caught [Bug 577015].
+
+2002-07-02  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n: Markup fixes, spellcheck.
+
+2002-07-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n: more refinements of the documentation.
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Added trace to be sure the stdio
+	constraint is updated whenever the [interpreter] changes.
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:		Reverted [makeFile] and [viewFile] to
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	their former behavior, and documented
+	* tests/cmdAH.test:		it. Corrected misspelling of hook
+	* tests/event.test:		procedure. Restored tests.
+	* tests/http.test:
+	* tests/io.test:
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Simplified logic of [GetMatchingFiles]
+	and [GetMatchingDirectories], removing special case processing.
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n: More documentation updates. Reference sections are
+	complete. Only examples need adding.
+
+2002-07-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2002-07-01  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Made Solaris use gcc for linking
+	when building with gcc to resolve problems with undefined symbols
+	being present when tcl library used with non-gcc linker at later
+	stage. Symbols were compiler-generated, so it is the compiler's
+	business to define them. [Bug 541181]
+
+2002-07-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n: more work in progress updating tcltest docs.
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Change [configure -match] to stop

+	the default value to [list *] so default operation remains the same.
+
+	* tests/pkg/samename.tcl: restored. needed by pkgMkIndex.test.
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: restored writeability testing of

+2002-06-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n: more work in progress updating tcltest docs.
+
+	* tests/README:		Updated the instructions on running and
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test:	adding to the test suite. Also updated
+	* tests/encoding.test:	several tests, mostly to correctly create
+	* tests/fCmd.test:	and destroy any temporary files in the
+	* tests/info.test:	[temporaryDirectory] of tcltest.
+	* tests/interp.test:
+

+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Fixed [makeFile] and [viewFile] to

+
+2002-06-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

+	corrected test suite errors exposed by corrected code. [Bug 564656]
+
+2002-06-25  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4:       New macro SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES.
+	* unix/configure.in: Added support for symlinks and compression when
+	* unix/Makefile.in:  installing the manpages. [Patch 518052]
+	* unix/mkLinks.tcl:  Default is still hardlinks and no compression.
+
+	* unix/mkLinks:      generated
+	* unix/configure:
+
+	* unix/README:       Added documentation for the new features.
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_TCLCONFIG): Replaced ${exec_prefix}/lib by
+	${libdir}.
+
+2002-06-25  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): Fix of critical [Bug 533364]
+	generated when the index is bad and the result is a shared object. The
+	T_ASTO(T_GOR, ...) idiom likely exists elsewhere though. Also removed
+	some cruft that just complicated things to no advantage.
+	(SetEndOffsetFromAny): Same fix, though this wasn't on the path
+	excited by the bug.
+
+2002-06-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2002-06-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes: updated changes file for 8.4b1 release.
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Corrections to tcltest and the Tcl
+	* tests/basic.test:		test suite so that a test with options
+	* tests/cmdInfo.test:		-constraints knownBug
+	* tests/compile.test:		-limitConstraints 1 only tests the
+	* tests/encoding.test:		knownBug tests. Mostly involves
+	* tests/env.test:		replacing direct access to the
+	* tests/event.test:		testConstraints array with calls to

+2002-06-21  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:

+
+2002-06-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	Updated all package install directories
+	* win/Makefile.in:	to match current Major.minor versions
+	* win/makefile.bc:	of the packages. Added tcltest package
+	* win/makefile.vc:	to installation on Windows.
+
+	* library/init.tcl:  Corrected comments and namespace style issues.
+	Thanks to Bruce Stephens. [Bug 572025]
+
+2002-06-21  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test:          Added TIP#99 implementation of 'file
+	* tests/fCmd.test:           link'. Supports creation of symbolic and
+	* tests/fileName.test:       hard links in the native filesystems and
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:     in vfs's, when the individual filesystem

+
+2002-06-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): fix for [Bug 571385] in

+	Lavana & Don Porter: thanks.
+
+2002-06-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj): clarified and simplified the
+	logic for compilation/recompilation.
+
+2002-06-19  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/file.n: Fixed indentation. No substantive changes.
+
+2002-06-19  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): get the resultPtr again as
+	the Tcl_ObjSetVar2 may cause the result to change. [Patch 558324]
+	(watson)
+
+2002-06-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): removing unused "for(;;)" loop;
+	improved comments; re-indentation.
+
+2002-06-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC):
+	- elimination of duplicated code in the non-immediate INST_INCR
+	  instructions.
+	- elimination of 103 (!) TclDecrRefCount macros. The different
+	  instructions now jump back to a common "DecrRefCount zone" at the
+	  top of the loop. The macro "ADJUST_PC" was replaced by two macros
+	  "NEXT_INST_F" and "NEXT_INST_V" that take three params
+	  (pcAdjustment, # of stack objects to discard, resultObjPtr handling
+	  flag). The only instructions that retain a TclDecrRefCount are
+	  INST_POP (for speed), the common code for the non-immediate
+	  INST_INCR, INST_FOREACH_STEP and the two INST_LSET.
+
+	The object size of tclExecute.o was reduced by approx 20% since the
+	start of the consolidation drive, while making room for some peep-hole
+	optimisation at runtime.
+
+2002-06-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC, INST_DONE): small bug in the panic code
+	for tcl-stack corruption.
+
+2002-06-17  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	Trims to support the removal of RESOURCE_INCLUDED from rc scripts from
+	[FRQ 565088].
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: moved the #ifndef RC_INVOKED start block up in the
+	file. rc scripts don't need to know thread mutexes.
+
+	* win/tcl.rc:
+	* win/tclsh.rc: removed the #define RESOURCE_INCLUDED to let the
+	built-in -DRC_INVOKED to the work.
+
+2002-06-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* doc/CrtTrace.3:        Added TIP#62 implementation of command
+	* doc/trace.n:           execution tracing [FRQ 462580] (lavana).
+	* generic/tcl.h:         This includes enter/leave tracing as well
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:    as inter-procedure stepping.

+	* tests/trace.test:
+
+2002-06-17  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Fixed [Bug 554068] ([exec] on
+	windows did not treat { in filenames well.). Bug reported by Vince
+	Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>, patch provided by Vince
+	too.
+
+2002-06-17  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: #ifdef logic for K&R C backwards compatibility
+	changed to assume modern C by default. See [FRQ 565088] for full
+	details.
+
+2002-06-17  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/msgcat.n: Corrected en_UK references to en_GB. UK is not a
+	country designation recognized in ISO 3166.
+
+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:  More Windows Registry locale codes from
+	Bruno Haible.
+
+	* doc/msgcat.n:
+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:
+	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:
+	* tests/msgcat.test:  Revised locale initialization to interpret
+	environment variable locale values according to XPG4, and to recognize
+	the LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES values over that of LANG. Also added many
+	Windows Registry locale values to those recognized by msgcat. Revised
+	tests and docs. Bumped to version 1.3. Thanks to Bruno Haible for the
+	report and assistance crafting the solution. [Bug 525522, 525525]
+
+2002-06-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileTokens): a better algorithm for the
+	previous bug fix.
+
+2002-06-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileTokens):
+	* tests/compile.test: [Bug 569438] in the processing of dollar
+	variables; report by Georgios Petasis.
+
+2002-06-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: bug in the consolidation of the INCR_..._STK
+	instructions; the bug could not be exercised as the (faulty)
+	instruction INST_INCR_ARRAY_STK was never compiled-in (related to [Bug
+	569438]).
+
+2002-06-14  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peep-hole
+	optimisation of variables (INST_STORE, INST_INCR) and commands
+	(INST_INVOKE); faster check for the existence of a catch.
+	(TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peep-hole optimisation of comparisons.
+	(TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peep-hole optimisation of INST_FOREACH -
+	relies on peculiarities of the code produced by the bytecode compiler.
+
+2002-06-14  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/rules.vc: The test for compiler optimizations was in error.
+	Thanks goes to Roy Terry <royterry@earthlink.net> for his assistance
+	with this.
+
+2002-06-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/trace.n, tests/trace.test:
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd,TclTraceCommandObjCmd)
+	(TclTraceVariableObjCmd): Changed references to "trace list" to
+	"trace info" as mandated by TIP#102.
+
+2002-06-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): consolidated code for the
+	conditional branch instructions.
+
+2002-06-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): fixed the previous patch;
+	wouldn't compile with TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG set.
+
+2002-06-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): consolidated the handling
+	of exception returns to INST_INVOKE and INST_EVAL, as well as most of
+	the code for INST_CONTINUE and INST_BREAK, in the new jump target
+	"processExceptionReturn".
+
+2002-06-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): consolidated variable
+	handling opcodes, replaced redundant code with some 'goto'. All
+	store/append/lappend opcodes on the same data type now share the main
+	code; same with incr opcodes.
+	* generic/tclVar.c: added the bit TCL_TRACE_READS to the possible
+	flags to Tcl_SetVar2Ex - it causes read traces to be fired prior to
+	setting the variable. This is used in the core for [lappend].
+
+	***NOTE*** the usage of TCL_TRACE_READS in Tcl_(Obj)?GetVar.* is not
+	documented; there, it causes the call to create the variable if it
+	does not exist. The new usage in Tcl_(Obj)?SetVar.* remains
+	undocumented too ...

+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* doc/FileSystem.3:
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: fixed up further so both compiles and actually
+	works with VC++ 5 or 6.
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: cleaned up code and vfs tests and added tests for
+	the internal changes of 2002-06-12, to see whether WinTcl on NTFS can
+	coexist peacefully with links in the filesystem. Added new test
+	command 'testfilelink' to enable the newer code to be tested.
+	* tests/fCmd.test: (made certain tests of 'testfilelink' not run on
+	unix).
+
+2002-06-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteTrace): fixed [Bug 568123] (thanks to Hemang
+	Lavana)
+
+2002-06-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: corrected the symbolic link handling code to allow
+	it to compile. Added real definition of REPARSE_DATA_BUFFER (found in
+	winnt.h). Most of the added definitions appear to have correct,
+	cross-Win-version equivalents in winnt.h and should be removed, but
+	just making things "work" for now.
+
+2002-06-12  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: made code for Tcl_FSNewNativePath agree with man
+	pages.
+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: clarified the circumstances under which certain
+	functions are called in the presence of symlinks.
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:  Fix for Windows to allow 'file lstat', 'file
+	type', 'glob -type l', 'file copy', 'file delete', 'file normalize',
+	and all VFS code to work correctly in the presence of symlinks
+	(previously Tcl's behaviour was not very well defined). This also
+	fixes possible serious problems in all versions of WinTcl where 'file
+	delete' on a NTFS symlink could delete the original, not the symlink.
+	Note: symlinks cannot yet be created in pure Tcl.
+
+2002-06-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: reverted the new compilation functions; replaced
+	by a more general approach described below.
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: made *all* compiled variable access attempts
+	create an indexed variable - even get or incr without previous set.
+	This allows indexed access to local variables that are created and set
+	at runtime, for example by [global], [upvar], [variable], [regexp],
+	[regsub].
+
+2002-06-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/global.n:
+	* doc/info.n:
+	* test/info.test:
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: fix for [Bug 567386], [info locals] was
+	reporting some linked variables.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: added compile functions for [global], [variable]
+	and [upvar]. They just declare the new local variables, the commands
+	themselves are not compiled-in. This gives a notably faster read
+	access to these linked variables.
+
+2002-06-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: optimised algorithm for exception range
+	lookup; part of [Patch 453709].
+
+2002-06-10  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: fixed [Bug 566669]
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: improved and sped up handling of native paths
+	(duplication and conversion to normalized paths), particularly on
+	Windows.
+	* modified part of above commit, due to problems on Linux. Will
+	re-examine bug report and evaluate more closely.
+
+2002-06-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test:  More corrections to test suite so that tests of
+	failing [test]s don't show up themselves as failing tests.
+
+2002-06-07  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Tidied up headers in relation to float.h to
+	cut the cruft and ensure DBL_MAX is defined since doubles seem to be
+	the same size everywhere; if the assumption isn't true, the variant
+	platforms had better have run configure...
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h (EOVERFLOW): Added code to define it if it
+	wasn't previously defined. Also some other general tidying and adding
+	of comments. [Bugs 563122, 564595]
+	* compat/tclErrno.h: Added definition for EOVERFLOW copied from
+	Solaris headers; I've been unable to find any uses of EFTYPE, which
+	was the error code previously occupying the slot, in Tcl, or any
+	definition of it in the Solaris headers.
+
+2002-06-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Remove hard coded CFLAGS=-g and add
+	CFLAGS_DEBUG, CFLAGS_OPTIMIZE, and CFLAGS_DEFAULT varaibles. [Bug
+	565488]
+
+2002-06-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test:  Corrections to test suite so that tests of
+	failing [test]s don't show up themselves as failing tests.
+
+	* tests/io.test: Fixed up namespace variable resolution issues
+	revealed by running test suite with "-singleproc 1".
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
+	* tests/tcltest.test: Several updates to tcltest.
+	  1) changed to lazy initialization of test constraints
+	  2) deprecated [initConstraintsHook]
+	  3) repaired badly broken [limitConstraints].
+	  4) deprecated [threadReap] and [mainThread]
+	[Patch 512214, Bug 558742, Bug 461000, Bug 534903]
+
+2002-06-06  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpReaddir, TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime): added
+	mutex wrapped calls to readdir, localtime & gmtime in case their
+	thread-safe *_r counterparts are not available.
+	* unix/tcl.m4: added configure check for readdir_r
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): set TCL_DEFAULT_ENCODING to utf-8 on MacOSX
+	(where posix file apis expect utf-8, not iso8859-1).
+	* unix/configure: regen
+	* unix/Makefile.in: set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in parallel to
+	LD_LIBRARY_PATH for MacOSX dynamic linker.
+	* generic/tclEnv.c (TclSetEnv): fix env var setting on MacOSX (adapted
+	from [Patch 524352] by jkbonfield).
+
+2002-06-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/Tcl_Main.3: Documented $tcl_rcFileName and added more
+	clarifications about the intended use of Tcl_Main(). [Bug 505651]
+
+2002-06-05  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (TclGlob): mac specific fix to recent changes
+	in 'glob -tails' handling.
+	* mac/tclMacPort.h:
+	* mac/tclMacChan.c: fixed TIP#91 bustage.
+	* mac/tclMacResource.c (Tcl_MacConvertTextResource): added utf
+	conversion of text resource contents.
+	* tests/macFCmd.test (macFCmd-1.2): allow CWIE creator.
+
+2002-06-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
+	* tests/init.test:
+	* tests/tcltest.test:	Added more TIP 85 tests from Arjen Markus.
+	Converted tcltest.test to use a private namespace. Fixed bugs in
+	[tcltest::Eval] revealed by calling [tcltest::test] from a non-global
+	namespace, and namespace errors in init.test.
+
+2002-06-04  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/README: Update msys+mingw URL.
+
+2002-06-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:
+	* tests/tcltest.test:  Implementation of TIP 85. Allows tcltest users
+	to add new legal values of the -match option to [test], associating
+	each with a Tcl command that does the matching of expected results
+	with actual results of tests. Thanks to Arjen Markus. => tcltest 2.1
+	[Patch 521362]
+
+2002-06-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/namespace.n: added description of [namepace forget] behaviour
+	for unqualified patterns. [Bug 559268]
+
+2002-06-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: reverting an accidental modification in the
+	last commit.
+
+2002-06-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/Tcl.n: clarify the empty variable name issue ([Bug 549285]
+	reported by Tom Krehbiel, patch by Don Porter).
+
+2002-05-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/package.tcl:  Fixed leak of slave interp in [pkg_mkIndex].
+	Thanks to Helmut for report. [Bug 550534]
+
+	* tests/io.test:
+	* tests/main.test:  Use the "stdio" constraint to control whether an
+	[open "|[interpreter]"] is attempted.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclMathInProgress,TclExecuteByteCode
+	(ExprCallMathFunc):
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclMathInProgress):
+	* unix/Makefile.in (tclMtherr.*):
+	* unix/configure.in (NEED_MATHERR):
+	* unix/tclAppInit.c (matherr):
+	* unix/tclMtherr.c (removed file):
+	* win/tclWinMtherr.c (_matherr): Removed internal routine
+	TclMathInProgress and Unix implementation of matherr(). These are now
+	obsolete, dealing with very old versions of the C math library.
+	Windows version is retained in case Borland compilers require it, but
+	it is inactive. Thanks to Joe English. [Bug 474335, Patch 555635]
+
+	* unix/configure: regen
+
+2002-05-30  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: removed exprIsJustVarRef and
+	exprIsComparison from the ExprInfo and CompileEnv structs. These
+	were set, but not used since dec 1999 [Bug 562383].
+
+2002-05-30  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (TclGlob): fix to longstanding 'knownBug' in
+	fileName tests 15.2-15.4, and fix to a new Tcl 8.4 bug in certain uses
+	of 'glob -tails'.
+	* tests/fileName.test: removed 'knownBug' flag from some tests, added
+	some new tests for above bugs.
+
+2002-05-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/configure: regen'ed
+	* unix/configure.in: replaced bigendian check with autoconf standard
+	AC_C_BIG_ENDIAN, which defined WORDS_BIGENDIAN on bigendian systems.
+	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharNcmp):
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclUniCharNcmp): use WORDS_BIGENDIAN instead of
+	TCL_OPTIMIZE_UNICODE_COMPARE to enable memcmp alternative.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode INST_STR_CMP):
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): changed the case for choosing
+	the Tcl_UniCharNcmp compare to when both objs are of StringType, as
+	benchmarks show that is the optimal check (both bigendian and
+	littleendian systems).
+
+2002-05-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclMain.c: Removed "dummy" reference to Tcl_LinkVar. It is
+	no longer needed since Tcl_Main() now actually calls Tcl_LinkVar().
+	Thanks to Joe English for pointing that out.
+
+2002-05-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode):
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Use the macro version.
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclUniCharNcmp): Optimised still further with a
+	macro for use in sensitive places like tclExecute.c
+
+	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharNcmp): Use new flag to figure out when
+	we can use an optimal comparison scheme, and default to the old scheme
+	in other cases which is at least safe.
+	* unix/configure.in (TCL_OPTIMIZE_UNICODE_COMPARE): New optional flag
+	that indicates when we can use memcmp() to compare Unicode strings
+	(i.e. when the high-byte of a Tcl_UniChar precedes the low-byte.)
+
+2002-05-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* generic/tclUtf.c: added TclpUtfNcmp2 private command that
+	mirrors Tcl_UtfNcmp, but takes n in bytes, not utf-8 chars. This
+	provides a faster alternative for comparing utf strings	internally.
+	(Tcl_UniCharNcmp, Tcl_UniCharNcasecmp): removed the explicit end of
+	string check as it wasn't correct for the function (by doc and logic).
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): reworked the string equal
+	comparison code to use TclpUtfNcmp2 as well as short-circuit for
+	equal objects or unequal length strings in the equal case.
+	Removed the use of goto and streamlined the other parts.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): added check for object
+	equality in the comparison instructions. Added short-circuit for !=
+	length strings in INST_EQ, INST_NEQ and INST_STR_CMP. Reworked
+	INST_STR_CMP to use TclpUtfNcmp2 where appropriate, and only use
+	Tcl_UniCharNcmp when at least one of the objects is a Unicode obj with
+	no utf bytes.
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): removed error creation
+	in code that no longer throws an error.
+
+	* tests/string.test:
+	* tests/stringComp.test: added more string comparison checks.
+
+	* tests/clock.test: better qualified 9.1 constraint check for %s.
+
+2002-05-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (TclpRealloc, TclpFree): protect
+	against the case when NULL is based.
+
+	* tests/clock.test: added clock-9.1
+	* compat/strftime.c:
+	* generic/tclClock.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c: fix for Windows msvcrt mem leak caused by using
+	an env(TZ) setting trick for in clock format -gmt 1. This also makes
+	%s seem to work correctly with -gmt 1 as well as making it a lot
+	faster by avoid the env(TZ) hack. TclpStrftime now takes useGMT as an
+	arg. [Bug 559376]
+
+2002-05-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fixes to Tcl_FSLoadFile when called on a file
+	inside a vfs. This should avoid leaving temporary files sitting
+	around on exit. [Bug 545579]
+
+2002-05-27  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* win/tclWinError.c: Added comment on conversion of
+	ERROR_NEGATIVE_SEEK because that is a mapping that really belongs,
+	and not a catch-all case.
+	* win/tclWinPort.h (EOVERFLOW): Should be either EFBIG or EINVAL
+	* generic/tclPosixStr.c (Tcl_ErrnoId, Tcl_ErrnoMsg): EOVERFLOW can
+	potentially be a synonym for EINVAL.
+
+2002-05-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	=== Changes due to TIP#91 ===
+
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: Added declaration of EOVERFLOW.
+	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Added documentation of wideSeekProc.
+	* generic/tclIOGT.c (TransformSeekProc, TransformWideSeekProc):
+	Adapted to use the new channel mechanism.
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileSeekProc, FileWideSeekProc): Renamed
+	FileSeekProc to FileWideSeekProc and created new FileSeekProc which
+	has the old-style interface and which errors out with EOVERFLOW when
+	the returned file position can't fit into the return type (int for
+	historical reasons).
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (FileSeekProc, FileWideSeekProc): Renamed
+	FileSeekProc to FileWideSeekProc and created new FileSeekProc which
+	has the old-style interface and which errors out with EOVERFLOW when
+	the returned file position can't fit into the return type (int for
+	historical reasons).
+	* mac/tclMacChan.c (FileSeek): Reverted to old interface; Macs lack
+	large-file support because I can't see how to add it.
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek, Tcl_Tell): Given these functions
+	knowledge of the new arrangement of channel types.
+	(Tcl_ChannelVersion): Added recognition of new version code.
+	(HaveVersion): New function to do version checking.
+	(Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc, Tcl_ChannelFlushProc)
+	(Tcl_ChannelHandlerProc): Made these functions use HaveVersion for
+	ease of future maintainability.
+	(Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc): Obvious lookup function.
+	* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_ChannelType): New wideSeekProc field, and
+	seekProc type restored to old interpretation.
+	(TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_3): New channel version.
+
+2002-05-24  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/winPipe.test: Applied patch for [Bug 549617]. Patch and bug
+	report by Kevin Kenny <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c (TcpWatchProc): Fixed [Bug 557878]. We are not
+	allowed to mess with the watch mask if the socket is a server socket.
+	I believe that the original reporter is George Peter Staplin.
+
+2002-05-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/configure.in: Invoke SC_ENABLE_SHARED before calling
+	SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS so that the SHARED_BUILD variable can be checked
+	inside SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Pass -non_shared instead of -shared
+	to ld when configured with --disable-shared under OSF. [Bug 540390]
+
+2002-05-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: added prototype for TclpFilesystemPathType().
+	* mac/tclMacChan.c: use MSL provided creator type if available instead
+	of the default 'MPW '.
+
+2002-05-16  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/CrtObjCmd.3: Added Tcl_GetCommandFromObj, Tcl_GetCommandFullName
+	[Bugs 547987, 414921]
+
+2002-05-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyOutputProc): #if/#endif-ed this function out
+	to stop compiler warnings. Also much general tidying of comments in
+	this file and removal of whitespace from blank lines.
+
+2002-05-13  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (SETBREAK): Solaris thinks ioctl() takes a signed
+	second argument, and Linux thinks ioctl() takes an unsigned second
+	argument. So need a longer definition of this macro to get neither to
+	spew warnings...
+
+2002-05-13  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: clean up all memory allocated by the filesystem,
+	via introduction of 'TclFinalizeFilesystem'.
+	Move TclFinalizeLoad into TclFinalizeFilesystem so we can be sure it
+	is called at just the right time.
+	Fix bad comment also. [Bug 555078 and 'fs' part of 543549]
+	* win/tclWinChan.c: fix comment referring to wrong function.
+
+2002-05-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/load.test:
+	* tests/safe.test:
+	* tests/tcltest.test: Corrected some list-quoting issues and other
+	matters that cause tests to fail when the patch includes special
+	characters. Report from Vince Darley. [Bug 554068]
+
+2002-05-08    David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* doc/file.n:
+	* tools/man2tcl.c:
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl:  Thanks to Peter Spjuth
+	<peter.spjuth@space.se>, again. My prior fix for single-quote macro
+	mis-understanding was wrong. Reverted to reimpliment the 'macro2' proc
+	which handles single-quote macros and restored file.n text arrangement
+	to avoid single-quotes on the first line. Sorry for all the confusion.
+
+2002-05-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tools/man2tcl.c:
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl: Proper source of macro error misunderstanding
+	single-quote as the leading macro command found and repaired.
+
+	* doc/file.n: Reverted to prior state before I messed with it.
+
+2002-05-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Corrected [uplevel] quoting when
+	[source]-ing test script in subdirectories.
+	* tests/fileName.test:
+	* tests/load.test:
+	* tests/main.test:
+	* tests/tcltest.test:
+	* tests/unixInit.test: Fixes to test suite when there's a space in the
+	working path. Thanks to Kevin Kenny.
+
+2002-05-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	-- Changes from Peter Spjuth <peter.spjuth@space.se>
+	* tools/man2tcl.c: Increased line buffer size and a bail-out if that
+	should ever be over-run.
+	* tools/man2help.tcl: Include Courier New font in rtf header.
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl: Improved handling of CS/CE fields. Use Courier
+	New for code samples and indent better.
+
+	* doc/file.n:
+	* doc/TraceCmd.3:  winhelp conversion tools where understanding
+	a ' as the first character on a line to be an unknown macro.
+	Not knowing how to repair tools/man2tcl.c, I decided to rearrange
+	the text in the docs instead.
+
+2002-05-07  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: fix to similar segfault when using 'glob
+	-types nonsense -dir dirname -join * *'. [Bug 553320]
+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: further documentation on vfs.
+	* tests/cmdAH.test:
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:
+	* tests/pkgMkindex.test: Fix to testsuite bugs when running out of
+	directory whose name contains '{' or '['.
+
+2002-05-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/basic.test: Fix for [Bug 549607]
+	* tests/encoding.test: Fix for [Bug 549610]
+	These are testsuite bugs that caused failures when the filename
+	contained spaces. Report & fix by Kevin Kenny.
+
+2002-05-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: fix to freeing a bad object (i.e. segfault)
+	when using 'glob -types nonsense -dir dirname'.
+	* generic/tclWinFile.c: fix to [Bug 551306], also wrapped some long
+	lines.
+	* tests/fileName.test: added several tests for the above bugs.
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: clarified documentation on refCount requirements
+	of the object returned by the path type function.
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c: moved TclpFilesystemPathType to the platform-
+	specific directories, so we can add missing platform-specific
+	implementations. On Windows, 'file system' now returns useful results
+	like "native NTFS", "native FAT" for that system. Unix and MacOS still
+	only return "native".
+	* doc/file.n: clarified documentation.
+	* tests/winFile.test: test for 'file system' returning correct values.
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: test for 'file system' returning correct
+	values. Clean up after failed previous test run.
+
+2002-04-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tcl.m4: change HP-11 SHLIB_LD_LIBS from "" to ${LIBS} so that
+	the .sl knows its dependent libs.
+
+2002-04-26  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/obj.test (obj-11.[56]): Test conversion to boolean more
+	thoroughly.
+	* generic/tclObj.c (SetBooleanFromAny): Was not calling an integer
+	parsing function on native 64-bit platforms! [Bug 548686]
+
+2002-04-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: corrected TclRememberJoinableThread decl to use
+	VOID instead of void.
+	* generic/tclThreadJoin.c: noted that this code isn't needed on Unix.
+
+2002-04-23  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* doc/exec.n:
+	* doc/tclvars.n: doc updates [Patch 509426] (gravereaux)
+
+2002-04-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* mac/tclMacResource.r: added check of TCLTK_NO_LIBRARY_TEXT_RESOURCES
+	#define to allow disabling the inclusion of the tcl library code in

+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
+	* win/Makefile.in:
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: added new threaded allocator contributed by AOL
+	that significantly reduces lock contention when multiple threads are
+	in use. Only Windows and Unix implementations are ready, and the
+	Windows one may need work. It is only used by default on Unix for now,
+	and requires that USE_THREAD_ALLOC be defined (--enable-threads on
+	Unix will define this).
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSRegister, Tcl_FSUnregister): corrected
+	calling of Tcl_ConditionWait to ensure that there would be a condition
+	to wait upon.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FileObjCmd): added cast in FILE_SIZE.
+
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoDeleteFile): check return of setattr API calls

+
+	* win/Makefile.in: correct dependencies for shell, gdb, runtest
+	targets.
+
+	* doc/clock.n:

+
+	* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): remove remaining

+
+	* win/tcl.m4: Enabled COFF as well as CV style debug info with

+	conversions of resource file names.
+	* mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): fixed bug introduced by Andreas
+	on 02-25; changed strcmp's to strncmp's so that option comparison
+	behaves like on other platforms.
+	* mac/tcltkMacBuildSupport.sea.hqx (CW Pro6 changes): added support to

+	* tests/basic.test:
+	* tests/cmdAH.test:
+	* tests/encoding.test:

+	[exec], changed some result strings.
+
+2002-04-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (Realpath): added a little extra code to
+	initialize a realpath arg when compiling in PURIFY mode in order to
+	prevent spurious purify warnings. We should really create our own
+	realpath implementation, but this will at least quiet purify for now.
+
+2002-04-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj):
+	* tests/subst.test:  Corrected [subst] so that return codes TCL_BREAK

+
+2002-04-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: added getMatchingFiles back (alias to

+2002-04-01  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2002-04-01  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_GetTime): made the checks of clock frequency

+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd, TraceVarProc)
+	(TraceCommandProc, TclTraceCommandObjCmd):  corrected potential
+	double-free of traces on variables by flagging in Trace*Proc that it
+	will free the var in case the eval wants to delete the var trace as
+	well. [Bug 536937] Also converted Tcl_UntraceVar -> Tcl_UntraceVar2

+	the tools/ directory. This does not address the syntax errors in the
+	man files. Having the contents of tcl.hpj(.in) inside makefile.vc
+	allows for version numbers to be replaced with macros.
+
+	The new nmakehlp.c is built by rules.vc in preprocessing and removes
+	the need to use tricky shell syntax that wasn't compatible on Win9x
+	systems. Clean targets made Win9x complient. This is a first draft
+	repair for [Bug 533862].
+
+2002-03-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2002-03-25  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/main.test: Removed workarounds for Bug 495977.
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Keep the value of $::auto_path
+	unchanged, so that the tcltest package can test code that depends on

+	should do that itself. [Bug 495726]

+	only, and 'file normalize' which wasn't very clear before. Removed
+	inconsistency betweens docs and the Tcl_Filesystem structure. Also
+	fixed [Bug 523217] and corrected file normalization on Unix so that
+	it expands symbolic links. Added some new tests of the filesystem
+	code (in the new file 'fileSystem.test'), and some extra tests for
+	correct handling of symbolic links. Fix to [Bug 530960] which shows up
+	on Win98. Made comparison with ".com" case insensitive in tclWinPipe.c
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: But only between alpha releases
+	(users of the new Tcl_Filesystem lookup table in Tcl 8.4a4 need to
+	handle the new way in which Tcl may call Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory, and
+	'file normalize' on unix now behaves correctly). Only known impact is

+
+	*** 8.4a4 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: initial remedy for [Bug 525783] flush problem

+	it restores the correct flushing of std* channels on exit.
+
+	* unix/README: added --enable-langinfo doc.
+
+	* unix/tcl.spec:
+	* tools/tcl.wse.in: fixed URL refs to use www.tcl.tk or SF.
+

+
+	* tests/io.test:
+	* tests/encoding.test: corrected iso2022 encoding results.
+	added encoding-24.*
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (EscapeFromUtfProc): corrected output of
+	escape codes as per RFC 1468. [Patch 474358] (taguchi)

+
+2002-03-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* library/encoding/iso2022-jp.enc:
+	* library/encoding/iso2022.enc:
+	* tools/encoding/iso2022-jp.esc:
+	* tools/encoding/iso2022.esc: gave <ESC>$B precedence over <ESC>$@,
+	based on comments (point 1) in [Bug 219283] (rfc 1468)
+
+	* tests/encoding.test: added encoding-23.* tests
+	* generic/tclIO.c (FilterInputBytes): reset the TCL_ENCODING_START
+	flags in the ChannelState when using 'gets'. [Bug 523988]
+	Also reduced the value of ENCODING_LINESIZE from 30 to 20 as this
+	seems to improve the performance of 'gets' according to tclbench.
+
+2002-02-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceCommandProc): ensure that TraceCommandInfo
+	structure was also deleted when a command was deleted to prevent a

+2002-02-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c: allow cached fully-qualified namespace names to
+	be usable from different namespaces within the same interpreter
+	without forcing a new lookup [Patch 458872].
+
+2002-02-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Replaced a few direct stack accesses with the
+	POP_OBJECT() macro [Bug 507181] (Don Porter).
+
+2002-02-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/GetIndex.3:
+	* generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):  Revised the
+	prototype of the Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct to take its struct table as
+	a (CONST VOID *) argument, better describing what it is, maintaining
+	source compatibility, and adding CONST correctness according to TIP
+	27. Thanks to Joe English for an elegant solution. [Bug 520304]
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
+
+	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main,StdinProc):  Corrected some reference
+	count management errors on the interactive command Tcl_Obj found by
+	Purify. Thanks to Jeff Hobbs for the report and assistance.
+
+2002-02-27  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalTokensStandard): corrected mem leak in
+	error case.
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c (TestStatProc[123]): correct harmless UMRs.
+
+	* generic/tclLink.c (Tcl_LinkVar): correct mem leak in error case.
+
+2002-02-27  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/socket.test (2.7): Accepted and applied patch for [Bug 523470]
+	provided by Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net> to avoid timing
+	problems in that test.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel): Added code to regonize
+	"/dev/tty" (by name) and to not handle it as tty / serial line. This
+	is the controlling terminal and is special. Setting it into raw mode
+	as is done for other tty's is a bad idea. This is a hackish fix for
+	expect [Bug 520624]. The fix has limitation: Tcl_MakeFileChannel
+	handles tty's specially too, but is unable to recognize /dev/tty as it
+	only gets a file descriptor, and no name for it.
+
+2002-02-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (StoreStatData): corrected mem leak.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): prevent obj leak in
+	remedial regsub case.
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_TranslateFileName): decr refcount for
+	error case to prevent mem leak.
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): removed extra obj allocation.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixSock.c (Tcl_GetHostName): added an extra
+	gethostbyname check to guard against failure with truncated
+	names returned by uname.
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_SERIAL_PORT): added sys/modem.h check and defined
+	_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED for HP-11 to get updated header decls.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: added Unix implementation of TIP #35, serial
+	port support. [Patch 438509] (schroedter)
+
+2002-02-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmpCmds.c: (bugfix to the bugfix, hopefully the last)
+	Bugfix to the new [for] compiling code: was setting a exceptArray
+	parameter using another param which wasn't yet initialised, thus
+	filling it with noise.
+
+2002-02-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Changed to recognize the option
+	"-error". Essentially ignores the option, always returning an empty
+	string.
+
+2002-02-25  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+	* doc/LinkVar.3:
+	* doc/ObjectType.3:

+	* doc/TCL_MEM_DEBUG.3: Updated documentation to describe the ckalloc,
+	ckfree, ckrealloc, attemptckalloc, and attemptckrealloc macros, and
+	to accurately describe when and how they are used. [Bug 497459] (dgp)
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (AllocArrayEntry, AllocStringEntry):
+	Before invoking ckalloc when creating a Tcl_HashEntry,
+	check that the amount of memory being allocated is
+	at least as large as sizeof(Tcl_HashEntry). The previous
+	code was allocating memory regions that were one
+	or two bytes short. [Bug 521950] (dejong)
+
+2002-02-25  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalEx): avoiding a buffer overrun
+	reported by Joe English, and restoring tcl7.6 behaviour for
+	[subst]: badly terminated nested scripts will raise an error
+	and not be evaluated. [Bug 495207]
+
+2002-02-25  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: corrected strtoll prototype mismatch on Tru64.
+	* compat/strtod.c (strtod): simplified #includes
+	* compat/strtol.c (strtol): gather result in a long before returning
+	as a long: necessary on platforms where sizeof(int) != sizeof(long).
+
+2002-02-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c: updated to use Mac OS X 10.1 dyld APIs that

+
+2002-02-25  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds: fixing a bug in patch dated 2002-02-22, in the
+	code for [for] and [while]. Under certain conditions, for long bodies,
+	the exception range parameters were badly computed. Tests forthcoming:
+	I still can't reproduce the conditions in the testsuite (!), although
+	the bug (with assorted segfault or panic!)  can be triggered from the
+	console or with the new parse.bench in tclbench.
+
+2002-02-25  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* compat/strtoul.c, compat/strtol.c, compat/strtod.c: Added UCHAR,
+	CONST and #includes to clean up GCC output.
+
+2002-02-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* compat/strtoull.c (strtoull):
+	* compat/strtoll.c (strtoll):
+	* compat/strtoul.c (strtoul): Fixed failure to handle leading
+	sign symbols '+' and '-' and '0X' and raise overflow errors.
+	[Bug 440916]  Also corrects prototype and errno problems.
+
+2002-02-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Link with -n32 instead of -32 when
+	building on IRIX64-6.* system. [Bug 521707]
+
+2002-02-22  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclObj.c: renamed global variable emptyString ->
+	tclEmptyString because it is no longer static.
+	* generic/tclPkg.c: Fix for panic when library is loaded on a
+	platform without backlinking without proper use of stubs. [Bug 476537]
+
+2002-02-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/regexpComp.test: updated regexp-11.[1-4] to match changes in
+	regexp.test for new regsub syntax
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tcl.m4: added --enable-64bit support for AIX-4 (using -q64
+	flag) when using IBM's xlc compiler.
+
+	* tests/safe.test: updated safe-8.5 and safe-8.7
+	* library/safe.tcl (CheckFileName): removed the limit on
+	sourceable file names (was only *.tcl or tclIndex files with no more
+	than one dot and 14 chars). There is enough internal protection in a
+	safe interpreter already. [Tk Bug 521560]
+
+2002-02-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds: [FR 465811]. Optimising [if], [for] and [while]
+	for constant conditions; in addition, [for] and [while] are now
+	compiled with the "loop rotation" optimisation (thanks to Kevin
+	Kenny).
+
+2002-02-22  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	--- TIP#76 CHANGES ---
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): Final-argument-less
+	[regsub] returns the modified string.
+	* doc/regsub.n: Updated docs.
+	* tests/regexp.test: Updated and added tests.
+
+	* compat/strtoll.c (strtoll):
+	* compat/strtoull.c (strtoull):
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: Const-ing 64-bit compatability declarations. Note
+	that the return pointer is non-const because it is entirely legal for
+	the functions to be called from somewhere that owns the string being
+	passed. Fixes problem reported by Larry Virden.
+
+2002-02-21  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/mkd.bat (removed):
+	* win/coffbase.txt (new):
+	* win/makefile.bc:
+	* win/makefile.vc:  Changed the 'setup' target to stop using the
+	mkd.bat file and just make the directory right in the rule. Same
+	change to makefile.bc. Neither configure.in nor Makefile.in use it.
+
+	coffbase.txt will be the master list for our "prefered base addresses"
+	set by the linker. This should improve load-time (NT only) by avoiding
+	relocations. Submissions to the list by extension authors are
+	encouraged.
+
+	Added a 'tidy' target to compliment 'clean' and 'hose' to remove just
+	the outputs. Also removed the $(winlibs) macro as it wasn't being
+	used.
+
+	Stuff left to do:
+	1) get the winhelp target to stop building in the tools/ directory.
+	2) stop using rmd.bat
+	3) add more dependacy rules.
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c:  Reverted back to -r1.6, as the header file change
+	to tclPort.h won't allow for easy embedded support outside of the
+	source dist. Thanks to Don Porter for pointing this out to me.
+
+2002-02-21  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/rules.vc:  Added a new "loimpact" option that sets the
+	-ws:aggressive linker option. Off by default. It's said to keep the
+	heap use low at the expense of alloc speed.
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c: Changed #include "tcl.h" to be tclPort.h to remove
+	the raw windows.h include. tclPort.h brings in windows.h already and
+	lessens the pre-compiled-header mush and the randomly useless #pragma
+	comment (lib,...) references throughout the big windows.h tree (as
+	observed at high linker warning levels).
+
+2002-02-21  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Better guessing of LP64/ILP32 architecture, but now
+	sensitive to presence of (suitable) <limits.h>
+
+2002-02-20  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_RegExpRange,Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):
+	Overlooked a few source incompatibilities. Now using CONST84.
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
+	* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_CmdObjTraceProc): silence warning from Sun
+	Workshop compiler.
+
+2002-02-20  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/buildall.vc.bat:
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/rules.vc: General clean-ups. Added compiler and linker tests for
+	a) the pentium 0x0F errata, b) optimizing (not all have this), and c)
+	linker v6 section alignment confusion. All these are tested first to
+	make sure any D4002 or LNK1117 warnings aren't displayed. The pentium
+	0x0F errata is a recommended switch. The v5 linker's section alignment
+	default is 512, but the v6 linker was changed to 4096 in an attempt to
+	speed loading on Win98. I changed the default to always be 512 across
+	both linkers, unless linking statically, then 4096 is used for the
+	claimed speed effect. Using a 512 alignment saves 12k bytes of dead
+	space in the DLL.
+
+	Added IA64 B-stepping errata switch when the compiler supports it.
+
+	Added profiling to $(lflags) when requested and also removed the
+	explict -entry option as the default works fine as is.
+
+	Removed win/tclWinInit.c from the special case section to let it use
+	the common implicit rule as the $(EXTFLAGS) macro it had was never
+	referenced anywhere.
+
+2002-02-20  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Added code to guess the correct settings for
+	TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG and TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE when configure doesn't tell
+	us them, as can happen with extensions.
+
+2002-02-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/format.n: Updated docs to list the specification.
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Made behaviour on 64-bit
+	platforms correctly meet the specification, that %d works with the
+	native word-sized integer, instead of trying to guess (wrongly)
+	from the value being passed.
+
+2002-02-19  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes: First draft of updated changes for 8.4a4 release.
+
+2002-02-15  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: add strtoll/strtoull declarations for
+	platforms that do not define them.
+
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (STRING_AT): removed ptrdiff_t cast and
+	use of VOID* in default case (GNU-ism).

+	regarding _stati64
+
+2002-02-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	+----------------------+
+	| TIP #72 IMPLEMENTED. |
+	+----------------------+
+
+	There are a lot of changes from this TIP, so please see
+	http://purl.org/tcl/tip/72.html for discussion of
+	backward-compatability issues, but the main ones modifications are in:
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: New types.
+	* generic/tcl.decls: New public functions.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: 64-bit aware bytecode engine.
+	* generic/tclBinary.c: 64-bit handling in [binary] command.
+	* generic/tclScan.c: 64-bit handling in [scan] command.
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: 64-bit handling in [file] and [format]
+	commands.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: New "wordSize" entry in ::tcl_platform.
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c: Large-file support (with many consequences.)
+	* generic/tclIO.c: Large-file support (with many consequences.)
+	* compat/strtoll.c, compat/strtoull.c: New support functions.
+	* unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: 64-bit support and greatly enhanced
+	cacheing.
+
+	Most other changes, including all those in doc/* and test/* as well as
+	the majority in the platform directories, follow on from these.
+
+	Also coming out of the woodwork:
+	* generic/tclIndex.c: Better support for Cray PVP.
+	* win/tclWinMtherr.c: Better Borland support.
+
+	Note that, in a number of places through the Unix part of the platform
+	support, there are Tcl_Platform* references. These are expanded into
+	the correct way to call that particular underlying function, i.e. with
+	or without a '64' suffix, and should be used by people working on the
+	core in preference to the API functions they overlay so that the code
+	remains portable depending on the presence or absence of 64-bit
+	support on the underlying platform.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: Extracted from the TIP
+
+	SUMMARY OF INCOMPATIBILITIES AND FIXES
+	======================================
+
+	The behaviour of expressions containing constants that appear positive
+	but which have a negative internal representation will change, as
+	these will now usually be interpreted as wide integers. This is always
+	fixable by replacing the constant with int(constant).
+
+	Extensions creating new channel types will need to be altered as
+	different types are now in use in those areas. The change to the
+	declaration of Tcl_FSStat and Tcl_FSLstat (which are the new preferred
+	API in any case) are less serious as no non-alpha releases have been
+	made yet with those API functions.
+
+	Scripts that are lax about the use of the l modifier in format and
+	scan will probably need to be rewritten. This should be very uncommon
+	though as previously it had absolutely no effect.
+
+	Extensions that create new math functions that take more than one
+	argument will need to be recompiled (the size of Tcl_Value changes),
+	and functions that accept arguments of any type (TCL_EITHER) will need
+	to be rewritten to handle wide integer values. (I do not expect this
+	to affect many extensions at all.)
+
+2002-02-14  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Trivial fix for [Bug 517503], a
+	memory leak reported by Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>. The leak
+	happens if an error occurs for "set var [gets $chan]" and leak one
+	empty object.
+
+2002-02-12  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* djgpp/ (new directory)
+	* djgpp/Makefile (new):
+	* unix/tclAppInit.c:
+	* unix/tclMtherr.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:  Early stage of DJGPP support for building Tcl
+	on DOS. Dynamic loading isn't working, yet. Requires watt32 for the
+	TCP/IP stack. No autoconf, yet. Barely tested, but makes a working exe
+	that runs Tcl in protected-mode, flat memory. [exec] and pipes will
+	need the most work as multi-tasking on DOS has to be carefully.

+
+2002-02-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/configure:

+	AC_DEFINE(_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS) for Solaris.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: added thread-safe versions of readdir,
+	localtime, gmtime and inet_ntoa for threaded build. (jgdavidson)
+
+	* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): prevented ckfree being called on
+	a pointer to NULL.

+	Tcl_WinUtfToTChar to return (TCHAR *) and Tcl_UtfToUniCharDString to
+	return (Tcl_UniChar *). Modified some callers. This change recognizes
+	that Tcl_DStrings are de-facto white-box objects.
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h: make genstubs
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: corrected use of C++-style comment.
+
+2002-02-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/scan.test:
+	* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): corrected scan 0x... %x handling

+	495213]
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): made early check for
+	bad RE to stop checking further.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): added special case to search
+	for simple 'string map' style regsub calls. Delayed creation of
+	resultPtr object until an initial match is made, as the input string
+	object can then be reused for no matches.
+	(Tcl_StringObjCmd): optimization improvements to the STR_MAP
+	algorithm for zero-length and nocase cases.
+
+	* tests/regexp.test:
+	* tests/regexpComp.test: extra code coverage tests.
+
+	* tests/string.test: added 10.18 and 10.19 extra tests.
+
+	* generic/regc_locale.c (casecmp): slight performance improvement.

+
+2002-02-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileOutputProc): Fixed [bug 465765] reported by
+	Dale Talcott <daletalcott@users.sourceforge.net>. Avoid writing
+	nothing into a file as STREAM based implementations will consider this
+	a EOF (if the file is a pipe). Not done in the generic layer as this
+	type of writing is actually useful to check the state of a socket.
+
+	* doc/open.n: Fixed [Bug 511540], added cross-reference to 'pid' as
+	the command to use to retrieve the pid of a command pipeline created
+	via 'open'.
+
+2002-02-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+
+2002-02-01  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/io.test: io-39.22 split into two tests, one platform

+2002-01-30  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: For each interface identified in the TIP 27
+	changes below as a POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY, the source of the
+	incompatibility has been parameterized so that it can be removed. When
+	compiling extension code against the Tcl header files, use the
+	compiler flag -DUSE_NON_CONST to remove the irresolvable source
+	incompatibilities introduced by the TIP 27 changes. Resolvable changes
+	are left for extension authors to resolve.

+	and TCL_STUB_LIB_PATH to the values of TCL_BUILD_LIB_SPEC,
+	TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_SPEC, and TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_PATH when tclConfig.sh
+	is loaded from the build directory. A Tcl extension should make use of
+	the non-build versions of these variables since they will work in both
+	cases. This modification was described in TIP 34.
+
+2002-01-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinReg.c (regConnectRegistryProc,RecursiveDeleteKey)
+	(DeleteKey,GetKeyNames,GetType,GetValue,OpenSubKey,SetValue):

+
+	* tests/regexpComp.test (new):
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: added TclCompileRegexpCmd entry
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): corrected to return
+	TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE instead of TCL_ERROR for parsing errors, so
+	it only throws the error for runtime compile, in case the user
+	modifies 'string'.
+	(TclCompileRegexpCmd): first try at a byte-compiled regexp command. It
+	handles static strings and ^$ bounded static strings.
+	(TclCompileAppendCmd): made TclPushVarName call always use
+	TCL_CREATE_VAR as numWords is always > 2 at that point.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode:INST_LIST): correct
+	possibly dangerous decr in macro call.
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpFindVariable): CONSTification touch-up
+
+	* win/tclWinReg.c (OpenSubKey): corrected bug introduced in
+	CONSTification that dropped pointer reference.
+
+	* ChangeLog.2000 (new file):
+	* ChangeLog: broke changes from 2000 into ChangeLog.2000 to reduce
+	size of the main ChangeLog.
+
+2002-01-28  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:  Added preprocessor logic to force a

+
+	Make -eofchar and -translation options read only for server sockets.
+	[Bug 496733]
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetChannelOption, Tcl_SetChannelOption):
+	Instead of returning nothing for the -translation option on a server
+	socket, always return "auto". Return the empty string enclosed in
+	quotes for the -eofchar option on a server socket. Fixup -eofchar
+	usage message so that it matches the implementation.
+	* tests/io.test: Add -eofchar tests and -translation tests to ensure
+	options are read only on server sockets.

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

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

+
+2002-01-05  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/Tcl_Main.3:
+	* generic/tclMain.c:  Substantial rewrite and expanded documentation
+	of Tcl_Main to correct a number of bugs and flaws:
+
+	  - Interactive Tcl_Main can now enter a main loop, exit that loop and
+	    continue interactive operations. The loop may even exit in the
+	    midst of interactive command typing without loss of the partial
+	    command. [Bugs 486453, 474131]
+	  - Tcl_Main now gracefully handles deletion of its master
+	    interpreter.
+	  - Interactive Tcl_Main can now operate with non-blocking stdin
+	  - Interactive Tcl_Main can now detect EOF on stdin even in
+	    mid-command. [Bug 491341]
+	  - Added VFS-aware internal routines for managing the startup script
+	    selection.
+	  - Tcl variable 'tcl_interactive' is now linked to C variable 'tty'
+	    so that one can disable/enable interactive prompts at the script
+	    level when there is no startup script. This is meant for use by
+	    the test suite.
+	  - Consistent use of the Tcl libraries standard channels as returned
+	    by Tcl_GetStdChannel(); as opposed to the channels named 'stdin',
+	    'stdout', and 'stderr' in the master interp, which can be
+	    different or unavailable.
+	  - Tcl_Main now calls Tcl_Exit() if evaluation of [exit] in the
+	    master interpreter returns, assuring Tcl_Main does not return.
+	  - Documented Tcl_Main's absence from public stub table
+	  - Documented that Tcl_Main does not return.
+	  - Documented Tcl variables set by Tcl_Main.
+	  - All prompts are done from a single procedure, Prompt.
+	  - Use of Tcl_Obj-enabled interfaces everywhere.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls (TclGetStartupScriptPath,
+	(TclSetStartupScriptPath): New internal VFS-aware routines for
+	managing the startup script of Tcl_Main.
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: make genstubs
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c (TestsetmainloopCmd,TestexitmainloopCmd,
+	(Tcltest_Init,TestinterpdeleteCmd):
+	* tests/main.test (new):  Added new file to test suite that thoroughly
+	tests generic/tclMain.c; added some new test commands for testing
+	Tcl_SetMainLoop().

+

+
+	* tests/basic.test (basic-39.4): Greatly simplified test while

+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ForeachObjCmd): Stopped [Bug 494348] from
+	happening by not trying to be so clever with cacheing; if nothing
+	untoward is happening anyway, the less efficient technique will
+	only add a few instruction cycles (one function call and a few
+	derefs/assigns per list per iteration, with no change in the
+	number of tests) and if something odd *is* going on, the code is
+	now far more robust.

+	* tests/string.test (string-11.51):
+	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharCaseMatch):
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_StringCaseMatch): Fault with matching
+	case-insensitive non-ASCII patterns containing upper case characters.

+	* doc/file.n: clarify behaviour of 'file link' when the target is not
+	an absolute path.
+	* doc/filename.n: correct documentation to say that Windows Tcl does

+	between MacOS 'classic' and MacOS X.

+	filenames starting with a '~'.

+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c (SocketThreadExitHandler) : added a TerminateThread
+	fallback just in case the socket handler thread is really in a paused
+	state. This can happen when Tcl is being unloaded by the OS from an
+	exception handler. See MSDN docs on DllMain, it states this behavior.

+2003-12-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclBinary.c (DeleteScanNumberCache, ScanNumber): Made the
+	numeric scan-value cache have proper references to the objects within
+	it so strange patterns of writes won't cause references to freed
+	objects. Thanks to Paul Obermeir for the report. [Bug 851747]

+
+	* tests/reg.test: Added tests for [Bugs 230589, 504785, 505048, 840258]
+	recently fixed by 2003-11-15 commit to regcomp.c by Pavel Goran. His
+	notes on the fix: This bug results from an error in code that splits
+	states into "progress" and "no-progress" ones. This error causes an
+	interesting situation with the pre-collected single-linked list of
+	states to be splitted: many items were added to the list, but only
+	several of them are accessible from the list beginning, since the
+	"tmp" member of struct state (which is used here to hold a pointer to
+	the next list item) gets overwritten, which results in a "looped"
+	chain. As a result, not all of states are splitted, and one state is
+	splitted two times, causing incorrect "no-progress" flag values.
+
+2003-11-16  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Make sure that

+	* generic/tclTest.c (AsyncThreadProc, TestasyncCmd): Extended testing
+	harness to send an asynchronous marking without relying on UNIX
+	signals.
+	* tests/async.test (async-4.*): Tests to check that async events are
+	handled by the bytecode core. [Bug 746722]
+
+2003-11-15  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c (TestHashSystemHashCmd): Removed 'const' modifier
+	from hash type structure; it should be const and the hash code assumes
+	it behaves like const, but that's not how the API is defined. Like
+	this, we are following in the same footsteps as Tcl_RegisterObjType()
+	which has the same conditions on its argument. Stops VC++5.2 warning.
+	[Bug 842511]

+2003-11-14  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+

+2003-11-03  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c

+
+2003-11-01  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LrepeatObjCmd): Check for sensible list
+	lengths and allow for soft failure of the memory subsystem in the
+	[lconcat] command [Bug 829027]. Uses direct list creation to avoid
+	extra copies when working near the limit of available memory. Also
+	reorganized to encourage optimizing compilers to optimize heavily.
+	* generic/tclListObj.c (TclNewListObjDirect): New list constructor
+	that does not copy the array of objects. Useful for creating
+	potentially very large lists or where you are about to throw away the
+	array argument which is being used in its entirety.
+
+2003-10-28  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (NEXT_INST macros): replaced macro variable

+2003-10-23  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel): Applied [Patch 813606]
+	fixing [Bug 813087]. Detection of sockets was off for Mac OS X which
+	implements pipes as local sockets. The new code ensures that only IP
+	sockets are detected as such.
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c (TcpWatchProc): Watch for FD_CLOSE too when asked
+	for writable events by the generic layer.
+	(SocketEventProc): Generate a writable event too when a close is
+	detected.
+
+	  Together the changes fix [Bug 599468].

+
+2003-10-21   Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: fixed incorrect html generated for
+	.IP/.TP lists, now use <DL><DT>...<DD>...<P><DT>...<DD>...</DL>
+	instead of illegal  <DL><P><DT>...<DD>...<P><DT>...<DD>...</DL>.
+	Added skipping of directives directly after .TP to avoid them being
+	used as item descriptions, e.g. .TP\n.VS in clock.n.
+
+2003-10-21  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@pliers.activestate.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Applied the patch coming with
+	[Bug 805605] to the code, fixing the incorrect use of ispace noted by
+	Ronald Dauster <ronaldd@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+2003-10-20  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/msgcat.n:
+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl (mclocale,mcload):
+	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
+	* unix/Makefile.in:     Implementation of TIP#156, add a "root locale"
+	* win/makefile.bc:      to the 'msgcat' package. Advanced msgcat
+	* win/Makefile.in:      version number to 1.4

+
+2003-10-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (SortInfo,etc): Reorganized so that SortInfo
+	carries an array of integer indices instead of a Tcl list. This nips
+	shimmering problems in the bud and simplifies SelectObjFromSublist at
+	the cost of making setup slightly more complex. [Bug 823768]
+
+2003-10-14  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c (sigHandler): Punt gracefully if exitToken has

+
+2003-10-14  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclAppendObjToErrorInfo):	New internal routine
+	that appends a Tcl_Obj to the errorInfo, saving the caller the trouble
+	of extracting the string rep.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (TclAppendLimitedToObj):	New internal
+	routine that supports truncated appends with optional ellipsis marking.
+	This single routine supports UTF-8-safe truncated appends needed in
+	several places throughout the Tcl source code, mostly for error and
+	stack messages. Clean fix for [Bug 760872].
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Declarations for new internal routines.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	Updated callers to use the new routines.

+	init-4.* tests.

+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:
+	* win/tclFileInt.h:
+
+	Fixed [Bug 800106] in which 'glob' was incapable of merging the
+	results of a directory listing (real or virtual) and any virtual
+	filesystem mountpoints in that directory (the latter were ignored).
+	This meant boundaries between different filesystems were not seamless
+	(e.g. 'glob */*' across a filesystem boundary was wrong). Added new
+	entry to Tcl_GlobTypeData in a totally backwards compatible way. To
+	allow listing of mounts, registered filesystems must support the
+	'TCL_GLOB_TYPE_MOUNT' flag. If this is not supported (e.g. in tclvfs
+	1.2) then mounts will simply not be listed for that filesystem.
+
+	Fixed [Bug 749876] 'file writable/readable/etc' (NativeAccess) using
+	correct permission checking code for Windows NT/2000/XP where more
+	complex user-based security/access priveleges are available,
+	particularly on shared volumes. The performance impact of this extra
+	checking will need further investigation. Note: Win 95,98,ME have no
+	support for this.
+
+	Also made better use of normalized rather than translated paths in the
+	platform specific code.
+
+2003-10-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTest.c (TestalarmCmd): don't bother checking return
+	value of alarm. [Bug #664755] (english)
+
+2003-10-09  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

+	* generic/tclObj.c: Win32 VC builds.
+
+2003-10-08  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Save and restore the iPtr->flag bits that
+	control the state of errorCode and errorInfo management when calling
+	"leave" execution traces, so that all error information of the traced
+	command is still available whether traced or not. [Bug 760947]

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

+	* tests/namespace.test (42.1-47.6): Tests.
+	* doc/namespace.n: Documentation.
+
+	* library/http/http.tcl (geturl): Correctly check the type of
+	boolean-valued options. [Bug 811170]
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_FRAMEWORK): Added note to make it clearer
+	that this is an OSX feature, not a general Unix feature. [Bug 619440]
+
+2003-09-28  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c: The windows port of expect can call
+	TclWinAddProcess before any of the other pipe functions. Added a
+	missing PipeInit() call to make sure the initialization happens.
+
+2003-09-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Makefile: ensure SYMROOT exists if OBJROOT is overridden on
+	command line. Replaced explict use of /usr/bin by ${BINDIR}.
+
+2003-09-24  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/package.tcl (tcl::MacPkgUnknown, tcl::MacOSXPkgUnknown):
+	Minor performance tweaks to reduce the number of [file] invocations.
+	Meant to improve startup times, at least a little bit. (The generic
+	equivalent patch was applied on 2003-02-21).
+
+2003-09-24  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* trace.test: removed 'knownBug' from a test which doesn't illustrate
+	a bug, just a bad test.
+
+2003-09-23  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: changed the evaluation-stack addressing mode, from
+	array-style to pointer-style; the catch stack and evaluation stack are
+	now contiguous in memory. [Patch 457449]
+
+2003-09-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/trace.test (trace-31,32-*):  Added tests for [Bug 807243] and
+	[Bug 811483].
+
+	* library/init.tcl (auto_load, auto_import):  Expanded Eric Melski's
+	2000-01-28 fix for [Bug 218871] to all potentially troubled uses of
+	[info commands] on input data, where glob-special characters could
+	cause problems.
+
+2003-09-20  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/expr.test (expr-23.4): Prevented accidental wrapping round of
+	exponential operation; it isn't portable, and not what I intended to
+	test either. [Bug 808244]
+
+2003-09-19  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: adding (DE)CACHE_STACK_INFO() pairs to protect
+	all calls that may cause traces on ::errorInfo or ::errorCode to
+	corrupt the stack. [Bug 804681]
+
+2003-09-17  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tclPathObj.c: fix to test-suite problem introduced by the bug fix
+	below. No problem in ordinary code, just test suite code which
+	manually adjusts tclPlatform. [Bug 808247]
+
+2003-09-16  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+	TIP#123 IMPLEMENTATION BASED ON WORK BY ARJEN MARKUS
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h (INST_EXPON):		Implementation of
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (tclInstructionTable):	exponential operator.
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (operatorTable):
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c (ParseExponentialExpr, GetLexeme):
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode, ExponWide, ExponLong):
+	(IllegalExprOperandType):

+	* doc/expr.n:
+
+2003-09-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/opt/optparse.tcl:	Latest revisions caused [OptGuessType]
+	to guess "int" instead of "string" for empty strings. Missed the
+	required "-strict" option to [string is]. Thanks to Revar Desmera.
+	[Bug 803968]
+
+2003-09-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinLoad.c (TclpDlopen): Changed the error message for
+	ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND to be a bit more helpful in giving us clues.
+	"can't find specified procedure" means a function in the import table,
+	for implicit loading, couldn't be resolved and that's why the load
+	failed.
+
+2003-09-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/Tcl_Main.3:
+	* doc/FileSystem.3:				Implementation of
+	* doc/source.n:					TIPs 137/151. Adds a
+	* doc/tclsh.1:					-encoding option to
+	* generic/tcl.decls:				the [source] command
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SourceObjCmd):	and a new C routine,
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSEvalFileEx):	Tcl_FSEvalFileEx(),
+	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main):			that provides C access
+	* mac/tclMacResource.c (Tcl_MacSourceObjCmd):	to the same function.
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test:				Also adds command line
+	* tests/main.test:	option handling in Tcl_Main() so that tclsh
+	* tests/source.test:	and other apps built on Tcl_Main() respect a
+	-encoding command line option before a script filename. Docs and tests
+	updated as well. [Patch 742683]
+	This is a ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** only for those C programs
+	that embed Tcl, build on Tcl_Main(), and make use of Tcl_Main's former
+	ability to pass a leading "-encoding" option to interactive shell
+	operations.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:				Added internal stub
+	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl*StartupScript*):	table entries for two
+	new functions Tcl_SetStartupScript() and Tcl_GetStartupScript() that
+	set/get the path and encoding for the startup script to be evaluated
+	by either Tcl_Main() or Tk_Main(). Given public names in anticipation
+	of their exposure by a followup TIP.
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:		make genstubs
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+
+2003-09-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/SplitList.3:	Implementation of TIP 148.  Fixes [Bug 489537].
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Updated Tcl_ConvertCountedElement() to quote
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	the leading "#" character of all list elements
+	unless the TCL_DONT_QUOTE_HASH flag is passed in.
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c:	Updated Tcl_ConvertCountedElement() callers
+	* generic/tclListObj.c:	to pass in the TCL_DONT_QUOTE_HASH flags
+	* generic/tclResult.c:	when appropriate.
+
+2003-08-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/return.n:	Updated [return] docs to cover new TIP 90 features.
+
+	* doc/break.n:		Added SEE ALSO references to return.n
+	* doc/continue.n:
+
+2003-09-01  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/Namespace.3: Basic documentation for the TIP#139 functions. This
+	will need improving, but the basic bits are there at least.
+
+2003-08-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/catch.n:	Updated [catch] docs to cover new TIP 90 features.
+
+2003-08-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	Corrected bug in TIP 90 implementation where
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test:	the default -errorcode NONE value was not
+	copied into the return options dictionary. This correction modified
+	one test result.
+
+2003-08-27  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* compat/strftime.c (_fmt): Removed syst array intializer that
+	couldn't take variables within it under the watcom compiler:
+	'Initializers must be constant'. I believe Borland has this strictness
+	as well. VC++ must be non-standard about this.
+
+	Changed Win32 platform #ifdef from 'WIN32' to '__WIN32__' as this is
+	the correct one to use across the Tcl sources. Even though we do force
+	it in tcl.h, the true parent one is __WIN32__.
+
+	Added missing CONST'ification usage to match prototype listed in
+	tclInt.decls.
+
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:  Added a block for OpenWatcom adjustments that
+	fixes 1) the same issue Mo did for MinGW lack of missing LPFN_*
+	typedefs in their WINE derived <winsock2.h> and 2) The need to be
+	strict about how the char type needs to be signed by default.
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c:  Added OpenWatcom to the commentary about the
+	#ifdef HAVE_NO_LPFN_DECLS block.
+
+	* win/tclWinTime.c:  Changed use of '_timezone' to 'timezone' as this
+	difference is already adjusted for in tclWinPort.h. Removed
+	unreferenced posixEpoch file-scope global.
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (WinReadLinkDirectory): Fix for 'Initializers must
+	be constant' with the driveSpec array using OpenWatcom.
+
+2003-08-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	Corrected [Bug 411825] and other bugs in
+	TclNeedSpace() where non-breaking space (\u00A0) and backslash-escaped
+	spaces were handled incorrectly.
+	* tests/util.test:	Added new tests util-8.[2-6].
+
+2003-08-26  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Added some support for the LCC-Win32 compiler.
+	Unfortunetly, this compiler has a bug in its preprocessor and can't
+	build Tcl even with this minor patch. Also added some support for the
+	OpenWatcom compiler. A new win/makefile.wc to follow soon.
+
+2003-08-25  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl (genStubs::makeDecl): A more subtle way of
+	generating stubbed declarations allows us to have declarations of a
+	function in multiple interfaces simultaneously.
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls: Duplicated some namespace declarations from
+	tclInt.decls here, as mandated by TIP #139. This is OK since the
+	declarations match and will end up using the declarations in the
+	public code from now on because of #include ordering. Keeping the old
+	declarations in tclInt.decls; there's no need to gratuitously break
+	compatability for those extensions which are already clients of the
+	namespace code.
+
+2003-08-23  Zoran Vasiljevic  <zoran@archiwrae.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: merged fixes for thread-unsafe handling of
+	filesystem records [Bug 753315]. This also fixed the [Bug 788780]
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: merged fixes for thread-unsafe handling of
+	filesystem records. [Bug 753315]
+
+	* generic/tclFileSystem.h: merged fixes for thread-unsafe handling of
+	filesystem records. [Bug 753315]
+
+2003-08-19  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialErrorStr): Fixed a syntax error created in
+	the previous code cleanup.
+
+2003-08-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c: Adjusted commenting and spacing usage to follow
+	the principles of the Style Guide better.
+
+2003-08-18  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS): Use test instead of -eq, which does
+	not work. [Bug 781109]
+
+2003-08-13  Chengye Mao <chengye.geo@yahoo.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c: fixed a bug in BuildCommandLine. This bug built a
+	command line with a missing space between tclpipe.dll and the
+	following arguments. It caused error in Windows 98 when exec
+	command.com (e.g. dir). [Bug 789040]
+
+2003-08-11  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	TIP #136 IMPLEMENTATION from Simon Geard <simon.geard@ntlworld.com>
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LrepeatObjCmd): Adapted version of Simon's
+	* doc/lrepeat.n:			  patch, updated to the HEAD
+	* tests/lrepeat.test:			  and matching the core style.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (buildIntCmds):	Splice into core.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* doc/list.n:				Cross-reference.
+
+2003-08-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c: recognize amd64 and ia32_on_win64 cpus.
+
+2003-08-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:	Added escape so that non-Windows
+	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:	platforms do not try to use the
+	registry package. This can save a costly and pointless package search.
+	Bumped to 1.3.1. Thanks to Dave Bodenstab. [Bug 781609]
+
+2003-08-05  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_INVOKE, INST_EVAL, INST_PUSH_RESULT):
+	added a Tcl_ResetResult(interp) at each point where the interp's
+	result is pushed onto the stack, to avoid keeping an extra reference
+	that may cause costly Tcl_Obj duplication. Detected by Franco Violi,
+	analyzed by Peter Spjuth and Donal Fellows. [Bug 781585]
+
+2003-07-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3:
+	* doc/Translate.3: better documentation of Tcl_TranslateFileName and
+	related functions. [Bug 775220]
+
+2003-07-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Revert change made on 2003-07-21 since it made the
+	sizeof(Tcl_Obj) different for regular vs mem debug builds.
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Define TclDecrRefCount in terms of
+	Tcl_DbDecrRefCount which removes one layer of inderection.
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclDbInitNewObj, Tcl_DbIncrRefCount,
+	(Tcl_DbDecrRefCount, Tcl_DbIsShared): Define ThreadSpecificData that
+	contains a hashtable. The table is used to ensure that a Tcl_Obj is
+	only acted upon in the thread that allocated it. This checking code is
+	enabled only when mem debug and threads are enabled.
+
+2003-07-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/async.test:	Added several tests that demonstrate [Bug
+	* tests/basic.test:	489537], Tcl's longstanding failure to
+	* tests/dict.test:	properly quote any leading '#' character when
+	* tests/dstring.test:	generating the string rep of a list so that
+	* tests/list.test:	the comment-power of that character is hidden
+	* tests/parse.test:	from any [eval], in order to satisfy the
+	* tests/util.test:	documentation that [list] does [eval]-safe
+				quoting.
+
+2003-07-24  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* library/package.tcl: Fixed a typo that broke pkg_mkIndex -verbose.
+	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Added a test for [pkg_mkIndex -verbose].
+
+	* ChangeLog.2002 (new file):
+	* ChangeLog: broke changes from 2002 into ChangeLog.2002 to reduce
+	size of the main ChangeLog.
+
+2003-07-23  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: changes to html-tcl & html-tk targets for
+	compatibility with non-gnu makes.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: added macosx/README to dist target.
+
+2003-07-23  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinReg.c (OpenSubKey): Fixed bug 775976 which causes the
+	registry set command to fail when built with VC7.
+	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Incremented the version to 1.1.2.
+
+2003-07-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	Check that the thread incrementing or decrementing the ref count of a
+	Tcl_Obj is the thread that originally allocated the thread. This fail
+	fast behavior will catch programming errors that allow a single
+	Tcl_Obj to be accessed from multiple threads.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_Obj): Add allocThread member to Tcl_Obj. This
+	member records the thread id the Tcl_Obj was allocated. It is used to
+	check that any future ref count incr or decr is done from the same
+	thread that allocated the Tcl_Obj. This member is defined only when
+	threads and mem debug are enabled.
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclNewObj, TclDbNewObj, TclDecrRefCount):
+	Define TclNewObj and TclDbNewObj using TclDbInitNewObj when mem debug
+	is enabled. This fixes a problem where TclNewObj calls did not work
+	the same as TclDbNewObj when mem debug was enabled.
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclDbInitNewObj, Tcl_DbIncrRefCount,
+	(Tcl_DbDecrRefCount): Add new helper to init Tcl_Obj members when mem
+	debug is enabled. Init the allocThread member in TclDbInitNewObj and
+	check it in Tcl_DbIncrRefCount and Tcl_DbDecrRefCount to make sure a
+	Tcl_Obj allocated in one thread is not being acted upon in another
+	thread.
+
+2003-07-21  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* test/cmdAH.test: ensure certain tests run in local filesystem. [Bug
+	748960]
+
+2003-07-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Makefile: added option to allow installing manpages in
+	addition to default html help.
+
+2003-07-18  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/Utf.3: Tightened up documentation of Tcl_UtfNext and Tcl_UtfPrev
+	to better match the behaviour. [Bug 769895]
+
+2003-07-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: upped to http v2.4.4
+	* library/http/http.tcl: add support for user:pass info in URL.
+	* tests/http.test:       [Bug 759888] (shiobara)
+
+2003-07-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:                Restored the [Eval] proc to replace
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  the [::puts] command when either the
+	-output or -error option for [test] is in use, in order to capture
+	data written to the output or error channels for comparison against
+	what is expected.  This is easier to document and agrees better with
+	most user expectations than the previous attempt to replace [puts]
+	only in the caller's namespace.  Documentation made more precise on
+	the subject.  [Bug 706359]
+
+	* doc/AddErrInfo.3:	Improved consistency of documentation by
+	* doc/CrtTrace.3:      	using "null" everywhere to refer to the
+	* doc/Encoding.3:      	character '\0', and using "NULL" everywhere
+	* doc/Eval.3:          	to refer to the value of a pointer that points
+	* doc/GetIndex.3:      	to nowhere. Also dropped references to ASCII
+	* doc/Hash.3:          	that are no longer true, and standardized on
+	* doc/LinkVar.3:       	the hyphenated spelling of "null-terminated".
+	* doc/Macintosh.3:
+	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3:
+	* doc/SetVar.3:
+	* doc/StringObj.3:
+	* doc/Utf.3:
+
+	* doc/CrtSlave.3 (Tcl_MakeSafe):  Removed warning about possible
+	deprecation (no TIP on that).
+
+2003-07-17  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: fix for compilation errors on platforms where
+	configure detects non-functional chflags(). [Bug 748946]
+
+	* macosx/Makefile: Rewrote buildsystem for Mac OS X framework build
+	to be purely make driven; in order to become independent of Apple's
+	closed-source IDE and build tool. The changes are intended to be
+	transparent to the Makefile user, all existing make targets and cmd
+	line variable overrides should continue to work. Changed build to only
+	include tcl specific html help in Tcl.framework, the tk specific html
+	help is now included in Tk.framework. Added var to allow overriding of
+	tclsh used during html help building (Landon Fuller).
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser: Changed to purely call through to
+	the make driven buildsystem; Tcl.framework is no longer assembled by
+	ProjectBuilder.
+	Set default SYMROOT in target options to simplify setting up PB
+	(manually setting common build folder for tcl & tk no longer needed).
+
+	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: Added options to allow building only the
+	tcl or tk html help files; the default behaviour with none of the new
+	options is to build both, as before.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Added targets for building only the tcl or tk help
+
+	* macosx/README (new): Tcl specific excerpts of tk/macosx/README.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Updated reminder comment about editing
+	macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj when version number changes.
+
+2003-07-16  Mumit Khan  <khan@nanotech.wisc.edu>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c (SetFsPathFromAny): Add Cygwin specific code to
+	convert POSIX filename to native format.
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_TranslateFileName): And remove from here.
+	(TclDoGlob): Adjust for cygwin and append / for dirs instead of \
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjChdir): Use chdir on Cygwin.
+	[Patch 679315]
+
+2003-07-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* library/safe.tcl (FileInAccessPath): normalize paths before
+	comparison. [Bug 759607] (myers)
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (NotifierThreadProc): correct size of found and
+	word vars from int to long. [Bug 767578] (hgo)
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:       Add recognition of -DTCL_UTF_MAX=6 on the make
+	* generic/regcustom.h: line to support UCS-4 mode. No config arg at
+	this time, as it is not the recommended build mode.
+
+	* generic/tclPreserve.c: In Result and Preserve'd routines, do not
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:     assume that ckfree == free, as that is not
+	* generic/tclResult.c:   always true. [Bug 756791] (fuller)
+
+2003-07-16  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

+	* unix/dltest/pkga.c:	Updated to not use Tcl_UtfNcmp and counted
+	strings instead of strcmp (not defined in any #include'd header) and
+	presumed NULL-terminated strings.
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIfCmd):  Prior fix of Bug 711371 on
+	2003-04-07 introduced a buffer overflow. Corrected. [Bug 771613]
+
+2003-07-15  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/rules.vc: Added a missing $(OPTDEFINES) which broke the build if

+2003-07-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (SortCompare): Cleared up confusing error

+
+2003-07-11  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/binary.test (binary-46.*): Tests to help enforce the current
+	behaviour.
+	* doc/binary.n: Documented that [binary format a] and [binary scan a]
+	do encoding conversion by dropping high bytes, unlike the rest of the
+	core. [Bug 735364]
+
+2003-07-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/package.tcl:  Corrected [pkg_mkIndex] bug reported on

+	filesystems. [Patch 760768]  Also a little general cleanup.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Made [string map] accept
+	dictionaries for maps.  This is much trickier than it looks, since map
+	entry ordering is significant. [Bug 759936]
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd, TclArraySet): Made [array get]
+	and [array set] work with dictionaries, producing them and consuming
+	them. Note that for compatability reasons, you will never get a dict
+	from feeding a string literal to [array set] since that alters the
+	trace behaviour of "multi-key" sets. [Bug 759935]

+	other packages more unlikely.
+
+2003-06-10  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: let TclExecuteObjvInternal call

+2003-06-09  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:  Ported the changes from the

+
+2003-05-23  D. Richard Hipp <drh@hwaci.com>

+	* win/tclWinTime.c: Add tests to detect and avoid a division by zero
+	in the windows precision timer calibration logic.
+
+2003-05-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (tclCmdNameType):  Converted internal rep
+	management of the cmdName Tcl_ObjType the opposite way, to always use
+	the twoPtrValue instead of always using the otherValuePtr. Previous
+	fix on 2003-05-12 broke several extensions that wanted to poke around
+	with the twoPtrValue.ptr2 value of a cmdName Tcl_Obj, like TclBlend
+	and e4graph. [Bug 726018]
+	Thanks to George Petasis for the bug report and Jacob Levy for testing

+
+2003-05-22  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: added missing references to new
+	source files tclPathObj.c and tclMacOSXFCmd.c.
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c: fixed a problem that caused only the first
+	call to Tcl_MacOSXOpenVersionedBundleResources() for a given bundle
+	identifier to succeed. This caused the tcl runtime library not to be
+	found in all interps created after the inital one.
+
+2003-05-19  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@hippolyta>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c: Corrected a bug in conversion of non-ASCII
+	chars in the format string.
+
+2003-05-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: changed tclConfig.sh location in

+	version specific.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c: fixed typo.
+
+2003-05-18  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* compat/strftime.c:  Modified TclpStrftime to return its result in

+
+	* doc/socket.n: nroff font handling correction
+
+	* library/encoding/gb2312-raw.enc (new): This is the original
+	gb2312.enc renamed to allow for it to still be used. This is needed by
+	Tk (unix) because X fonts with gb2312* charsets really do want the
+	original gb2312 encoding. [Bug 557030]
+
+2003-05-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Stop unwarranted demotion of

+
+2003-05-14  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* library/encoding/gb2312.enc: copy euc-cn.enc over original
+	gb2312.enc. gb2312.enc appeared to not work as expected, and most uses
+	of gb2312 really mean euc-cn (which may be the cause of the problem).
+	[Bug 557030]
+
+2003-05-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	Implementation of TIP 118:
+
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c (TclFileAttrsCmd): return the list of attributes
+	that can be retrieved without error for a given file, instead of
+	aborting the whole command when any error occurs.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: added support for new file attributes and for
+	copying Mac OS X file attributes & resource fork during [file copy].
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: added declarations of new external commands

+	* tests/unixFCmd.test: added tests of -readonly attribute.
+
+	* tests/macOSXFCmd.test (new): tests of macosx file attributes and of
+	preservation of attributes & resource fork during [file copy].
+
+	* tests/macFCmd.test: restore -readonly attribute of test dir, as
+	otherwise its removal can fail on unices supporting -readonly.

+2003-05-13  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclEnv.c: Another putenv() copy behavior problem repaired

+2003-05-13  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c: added extended version of the
+	Tcl_MacOSXOpenBundleResources() API taking an extra version number
+	argument: Tcl_MacOSXOpenVersionedBundleResources(). This is needed to
+	be able to access bundle resources in versioned frameworks such as Tcl
+	and Tk, otherwise if multiple versions were installed, only the latest
+	version's resources could be accessed. [Bug 736774]
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (Tcl_MacOSXGetLibraryPath): use new versioned
+	bundle resource API to get tcl runtime library for TCL_VERSION. [Bug
+	736774]
+
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: regen.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: worked around the issue of realpath() not

+
+2003-05-12  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+

+
+2003-05-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c: (AliasObjCmd):   Added refCounting of the words
+	* tests/interp.test (interp-33.1):      of the target of an interp
+	alias during its execution. Also added test. [Bug 730244]
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclInvokeObjectCommand):  objv[argc] is no

+
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test:  Forgot to import [temporaryDirectory].
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (tclCmdNameType):  Corrected variable use of the

+
+2003-05-09  Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (TclFreeAllocCache): Fixed memory leak
+	caused by treating cachePtr as a TLS index. [Bug 731754]
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c (Tcl_AppInit): Fixed memory leaks caused by not
+	freeing the memory allocated by setargv and the async handler created
+	by Tcl_AppInit. An exit handler has been created that takes care of
+	both leaks. In addition, Tcl_AppInit now uses ckalloc instead of
+	Tcl_Alloc to allow for easier leak tracking and to be more consistent
+	with the rest of the Tcl core. [Bugs 733156, 733221]
+
+	* tools/encoding/txt2enc.c (main): Fixed memory leak caused by failing
+	to free the memory used by the toUnicode array of strings [Bug 733221]

+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript):
+	* tests/compile.test (compile-3.5): corrected wrong test and
+	behaviour in the earlier fix for [Bug 705406]; Don Porter reported
+	this as [Bug 735055], and provided the solution.
+
+2003-05-09  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_ReturnObjCmd): The array of strings passed

+	Thanks to Joe Mistachkin for spotting this.
+
+2003-05-07  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+

+2003-04-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Applied SF patch #727271. This patch changes the
+	code to catch any errors returned by the windows functions handling
+	TLS ASAP instead of waiting to get some mysterious crash later on due
+	to bogus pointers. Patch provided by Joe Mistachkin.
+
+	This is a stop-gap measure to deal with the low number of ?TLS slots
+	provided by some of the variants of Windows (60-80).
+
+2003-04-24  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: fix to bug reported privately by Jeff where,
+	for example, 'glob -path {[tcl]} *' gets confused by the leading
+	special character (which is escaped internally), and instead lists
+	files in '/'. Bug only occurs on Windows where '\' is also a directory
+	separator.
+	* tests/fileName.test: added test for the above bug.
+
+2003-04-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* The changes below fix SF bugs [593810], and [718045].
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel): Invoke
+	TclpCutSockChannel and TclpSpliceSockChannel.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Declare TclpCutSockChannel and
+	TclpSpliceSockChannel.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixSock.c (TclpCutSockChannel, TclpSpliceSockChannel):
+	Dummy functions, on unix the sockets are _not_ handled specially.
+
+	* mac/tclMacSock.c (TclpCutSockChannel, TclpSpliceSockChannel):
+	* win/tclWinSock.c (TclpCutSockChannel, TclpSpliceSockChannel): New
+	functions to handle socket specific cut/splice operations: auto-init
+	of socket system for thread on splice, management of the module
+	internal per-thread list of sockets, management of association of
+	sockets with HWNDs for event notification.
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c (NewSocketInfo): Extended initialization
+	assignments to cover all items of the structure. During debugging of
+	the new code mentioned above I found that two fileds could contain
+	bogus data.
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: Added #undef HAVE_NO_FINDEX_ENUMS before
+	definition because when compiling in debug mode the compiler complains
+	about a redefinition, and this warning is also treated as an error.
+
+2003-04-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  When the return code of a test does
+	not meet expectations, report that as the reason for test failure, and
+	do not attempt to check the test result for correctness. [Bug 725253]
+
+2003-04-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinInt.h (VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_CE): conditionally define.
+	* win/tclWinInit.c: recognize Windows CE as a Win platform. This just
+	recognizes CE - full support will come later.
+
+	* win/configure: regen
+	* win/configure.in (SHELL): force it to /bin/sh as autoconf 2.5x
+	uses /bin/bash, which can fail to find exes in the path (ie: lib).
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprCallMathFunc): remove incorrect
+	extraneous cast from Tcl_WideAsDouble.
+
+2003-04-18  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/open.n:		Moved serial port options from [fconfigure] to
+	* doc/fconfigure.n:	[open] as it is up to the creator of a channel
+				to describe the channel's special config
+				options. [Bug 679010]
+
+2003-04-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Made changes so that the "wideInt" Tcl_ObjType
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	is defined on all platforms, even those where
+	* generic/tclPort.h:	TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG is defined. Also made the
+	Tcl_Value struct have a wideValue field on all platforms. This is a
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG platforms
+	because that struct changes size. This is the same TIP 72
+	incompatibility that was seen on other platforms at the 8.4.0 release,
+	when this change should have happened as well. [Bug 713562]
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:  New internal macros TclGetWide() and
+	TclGetLongFromWide() to deal with both forms of the "wideInt"
+	Tcl_ObjType, so that conditional TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG code is confined
+	to the header file.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	Replaced most coding that was conditional
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:	on TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG with code that
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: works across platforms, sometimes using
+	* generic/tclTest.c:	the new macros above to do it.
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:
+	* generic/tclVar.c:
+
+2003-04-17  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/socket.n: Added a paragraph to remind people to specify their
+	encodings when using sockets. [Bug 630621]
+
+2003-04-16  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/CrtMathFnc.3: Functions also have to deal with wide ints, but
+	this was not documented. [Bug 709720]
+
+2003-04-16  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: removed undesired 'static' for function which
+	is now shared (previously it was duplicated).
+
+2003-04-15  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/namespace.n: added example section "SCOPED SCRIPTS", supplied by
+	Kevin Kenny. [Bug 219183]
+
+2003-04-15  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* makefile.vc: Updated makefile.vc to conform with Mo DeJong's changes
+	to Makefile.in and tclWinPipe.c on 2003-04-14. Now passes TCL_PIPE_DLL
+	in place of TCL_DBGX.
+	* win/tclWinTime.c: Corrected use of types to make compilation
+	compatible with VC++5.
+
+2003-04-15  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: finished check-in from yesterday, removing
+	duplicate function definition.
+
+2003-04-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c:	Corrected compiler warnings.
+	* generic/tclTest.c:
+
+2003-04-14  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: Don't define TCL_DBGX symbol for every compile.
+	Instead, define TCL_PIPE_DLL only when compiling tclWinPipe.c. This
+	will break other build systems, so they will need to remove the
+	TCL_DBGX define and replace it with a define for TCL_PIPE_DLL.
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): Remove PREFIX_IDENT and
+	DEBUG_IDENT from top of file. Use TCL_PIPE_DLL passed in from build
+	env instead of trying to construct the dll name from already defined
+	symbols. This approach is more flexible and better in the long run.
+
+2003-04-14  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: added conditionals to restore compilation on
+	VC++6, which was broken by recent changes.
+
+2003-04-14  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c:
+	* generic/tclFileSystem.h: overlooked one function which was
+	duplicated, so this is now shared between modules.
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: allow this file to compile with VC++ 5.2 again
+	since Mingw build fixes broke that.
+
+2003-04-13  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Add check for FINDEX_INFO_LEVELS from winbase.h,
+	known to be a problem in VC++ 5.2. Define HAVE_NO_FINDEX_ENUMS if the
+	define does not exist.
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: Put declarations for FINDEX_INFO_LEVELS and
+	FINDEX_SEARCH_OPS inside a check for HAVE_NO_FINDEX_ENUMS so that
+	these are not declared twice. This fixes the Mingw build.
+	* win/tclWinTime.c: Rework the init of timeInfo so that the number or
+	initializers matches the declaration. This was broken under Mingw. Add
+	cast to avoid compile warning when calling the AccumulateSample
+	function.
+
+2003-04-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in (GENERIC_OBJS): add missing tclPathObj.c
+
+2003-04-12  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* doc/clock.n:
+	* generic/tclClock.c (Tcl_ClockObjCmd):
+	* tests/clock.test: Implementation of TIP #124. Also renumbered test
+	cases to avoid duplicates. [Bug 710310]
+	* tests/winTime.test:
+	* win/tclWinTest.c (TestwinclockCmd, TestwinsleepCmd):
+	* win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_WinTime, UpdateTimeEachSecond,
+	(ResetCounterSamples, AccumulateSample, SAMPLES, TimeInfo): Made
+	substantial changes to the phase-locked loop (replaced an IIR filter
+	with an FIR one) in a quest for improved loop stability (Bug not
+	logged at SF, but cited in private communication from Jeff Hobbs).
+
+2003-04-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd,STR_IS_INT):  Corrected
+	inconsistent results of [string is integer] observed on systems where
+	sizeof(long) != sizeof(int). [Bug 718878]
+	* tests/string.test: Added tests for Bug 718878.
+	* doc/string.n: Clarified that [string is integer] accepts 32-bit
+	integers.
+
+2003-04-11  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (UpdateInterest): When dropping interest in
+	TCL_READABLE now dropping interest in TCL_EXCEPTION too. This fixes a
+	bug where Expect detects eof on a file prematurely on solaris 2.6 and
+	higher. A much more complete explanation is in the code itself (40
+	lines of comments for a one-line change :)
+
+2003-04-11  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: fix test suite problem if /home is a symlink. [Bug
+	703264]
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix bad error message with 'cd ""'. [Bug
+	704917]
+	* win/tclWinFile.c, win/tclWin32Dll.c:
+	* win/tclWinInt.h: allow Tcl to differentiate between reparse points
+	which are symlinks and mounted volumes, and correctly handle the
+	latter. This involves some elaborate code to find the actual drive
+	letter (if possible) corresponding to a mounted volume. [Bug 697862]
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: add constraints to stop tests running in
+	ordinary tcl interpreter. [Bug 705675]
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: (new file)
+	* generic/tclFileSystem.h: (new file)
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	Split path object handling out of the virtual filesystem layer, into
+	tclPathObj.c. This refactoring cleans up the internal filesystem code,
+	and will make any future optimisations and forthcoming better
+	thread-safety much easier.
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c:
+	* tests/reg.test: added some 'knownBug' tests for problems in Tcl's
+	regexp code with the TCL_REG_CAN_MATCH flag (see Bug 703709). Code too
+	impenetrable to fix right now, but a fix is needed for tip113 to work
+	correctly.
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: added some filesystem optimisation to the 'glob'
+	implementation, and some new tests.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: fix typo in comment
+
+	* tests/winFile.test:
+	* tests/ioUtil.test:
+	* tests/unixFCmd.test: renumbered tests with duplicate numbers. [Bug
+	710361]
+
+2003-04-10  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/binary.n: Fixed typo in [binary format w] desc. [Bug 718543]
+
+2003-04-08  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ErrorObjCmd): Strings are only empty if
+	they have zero length, not if their first byte is zero, so fix test
+	guarding Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo to take this into account. [Bug
+	reported by Don Porter; no bug-id.]
+
+2003-04-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIfCmd):  Corrected string limits of
+	arguments interpolated in error messages. [Bug 711371]
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceExecutionProc):  Added missing
+	Tcl_DiscardResult() call to avoid memory leak.
+
+2003-04-07  Donal K. Fellows  <zzcgudf@ernie.mvc.mcc.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (Tcl_DictObjCmd): Stopped compilers from
+	moaning about switch fall-through.  [Bug 716327]
+	(DictFilterCmd): Yet more warning killing, this time reported by
+	Miguel Sofer by private chat.
+
+2003-04-07  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/dict.test (dict-2.6):
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (Tcl_NewDictObj, Tcl_DbNewDictObj): Oops!
+	Failed to fully initialise the Dict structure.
+	(DictIncrCmd): Moved valueAlreadyInDictionary label to stop compiler
+	complaints. [Bug 715751]
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictIncrCmd): Followed style in the rest of
+	the core by commenting out wide-specific operations on platforms where
+	wides are longs, and used longs more thoroughly than ints through
+	[dict incr] anyway to forestall further bugs.
+	* generic/tclObj.c: Made sure there's always a tclWideIntType
+	implementation available, not that it is always useful. [Bug 713562]
+
+2003-04-05  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c: Removed commented out notes on declarations to
+	be moved to elsewhere in the Tcl core.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Final stages of plumbing in.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclInitObjSubsystem):
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in, win/Makefile.in, win/makefile.[bv]c: Build support.
+	* generic/tcl.decls: Added dict public API to stubs table.
+	* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_DictSearch): Added declaration of structure to
+	allow user code to iterate over dictionaries.
+
+	* doc/DictObj.3:	New files containing dictionary implementation
+	* doc/dict.n:		documentation and tests as as mandated by TIP
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c: #111.
+	* tests/dict.test:
+
+2003-04-03  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Don't set TCL_LIBS if it is already
+	set to support use of TCL_LIBS var from tclConfig.sh in the Tk
+	configure script.
+
+2003-04-03  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Don't subst MATH_LIBS, LIBS, and DL_LIBS
+	separately. Instead, just subst TCL_LIBS since it includes the
+	others.
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS, SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS): Set and subst
+	TCL_LIBS in SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS instead of SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS. Don't subst
+	MATH_LIBS since it is now covered by TCL_LIBS.
+	* unix/tclConfig.sh.in: Use TCL_LIBS instead of DL_LIBS, LIBS, and
+	MATH_LIBS.
+	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Ditto.
+
+2003-04-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd):  Now that [return]
+	compiles to INST_RETURN, it is safe to compile even outside a proc.
+
+2003-04-02  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Set stub lib flag based on new LIBFLAGSUFFIX
+	variable.
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Set new LIBFLAGSUFFIX that works like
+	LIBSUFFIX, it is used when creating library names. The previous
+	implementation would generate -ltclstub85 instead of -ltclstub85s when
+	configured with --disable-shared.
+
+2003-04-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (TclSubstTokens):  Moved declaration of
+	utfCharBytes to beginning of procedure so that it does not go out of
+	scope (get free()d) while append is still pointing to it. [Bugs
+	703167, 713754]
+
+2003-04-01  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Check for inet_ntoa in -lbind inside
+	the BeOS block since doing it later broke the build under SuSE 7.3.
+	[Bug 713128]
+
+2003-04-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/README:  Direct [source] of *.test files is no longer
+	recommended. The tests/*.test files should only be evaluated under the
+	control of the [runAllTests] command in tests/all.tcl.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_RETURN):  Bytecompiled [return] failed to
+	reset iPtr->returnCode, causing tests parse-18.17 and parse-18.21 to
+	fail strangely.
+	* tests/parse.test (parse-18.21):  Corrected now functioning test.
+	Added further coverage tests.
+
+2003-03-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/parse.test (parse-18.*):  Coverage tests for the new
+	implementation of Tcl_SubstObj(). Note that tests parse-18.17 and
+	parse-18.21 demonstrate some bugs left to fix in the current code.
+
+2003-03-27  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Use -Wl,--export-dynamic instead of
+	-rdynamic for LDFLAGS. The -rdynamic is not documented so it seems
+	better to pass the --export-dynamic flag to the linker. [Patch 573395]

+

+2003-03-22  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:
+	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Fixed a bug where [package require dde]
+	or [package require registry] attempted to load the release version
+	of the DLL into a debug build. [Bug 708218] Thanks to Joe Mistachkin
+	for the patch.
+	* win/makefile.vc: Added quoting around the script name in the 'test'

+	to launch tcltest without it, and it appears harmless otherwise.
+
+2003-03-22  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

+	* win/configure.in: Don't run the AC_CYGWIN macro since it uses
+	AC_CANONICAL_HOST under autoconf 2.5X. Just check to see if __CYGWIN__
+	is defined by the compiler and set the ac_cv_cygwin variable based on
+	that. [Bug 705912]
+
+2003-03-18  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/registry.test: Changed the conditionals to avoid an abort if
+	[testlocale] is missing, as when running the test in tclsh rather than
+	tcltest. [Bug 705677]
+
+2003-03-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: added support for building 'make html'
+	from inside distribution directories named with 8.x.x version numbers.
+	tcltk-man2html now uses the latest tcl8.x.x resp. tk8.x.x directories
+	found inside its --srcdir argument.
+
+2003-03-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/format.test: Renumber tests, a bunch of tests all had the same
+	id.
+
+2003-03-17  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/lsearch.n:	Altered documentation of -ascii options so
+	* doc/lsort.n:		they don't specify that they operate on ASCII
+				strings, which they never did anyway. [Bug
+				703807]
+
+2003-03-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Only add the modifier that
+	indicates we've got a wide int when we're formatting in an integer
+	style.  Stops some libc's from going mad. [Bug 702622] Also tidied
+	whitespace.
+
+2003-03-13  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_WITH_TCL): Port version number fix that was made in
+	tk instead of tcl sources.
+
+2003-03-13  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	Require autoconf 2.57 or newer, see TIP 34 for a detailed explanation
+	of why this is good. This will no doubt break the build on some
+	platforms, let the flaming begin.
+
+	* tools/configure: Regen with autoconf 2.57.
+	* tools/configure.in: Require autoconf 2.57.
+	* unix/configure: Regen with autoconf 2.57.
+	* unix/configure.in: Require autoconf 2.57.
+	Apply AC_LIBOBJ changes from patch 529884.
+	* unix/tcl.m4: Ditto.
+	* win/configure: Regen with autoconf 2.57.
+	* win/configure.in: Require autoconf 2.57.
+	Don't subst LIBOBJS since this happens by default, this avoids an

+	Substantial refactoring of Tcl_SubstObj to make use of the same
+	parsing and substitution procedures as normal script evaluation.
+	Tcl_SubstObj() moved to tclParse.c. New routine TclSubstTokens()
+	created in tclParse.c which implements all substantial functioning of
+	Tcl_EvalTokensStandard(). TclCompileScript() loses its "nested"
+	argument, the Tcl_Interp struct loses its termOffset field and the
+	TCL_BRACKET_TERM flag in the evalFlags field, all of which were only
+	used (indirectly) by Tcl_SubstObj(). Tests subst-8.7,8.8,11.4,11.5
+	modified to accomodate the only behavior change: reporting of parse
+	errors now takes precedence over [return] and [continue] exceptions.
+	All other behavior should remain compatible. [RFE 536831,684982] [Bug
+	685106]
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:        Removed TCL_PREFIX_IDENT and TCL_DEBUG_IDENT
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:     from tcl.h -- they are not part of Tcl's

+2003-03-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:  Added missing "-body" to example. Thanks to Helmut

+
+2003-03-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2003-03-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2003-03-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek, Tcl_OutputBuffered): If there is data
+	buffered in the statePtr->curOutPtr member then set the BUFFER_READY
+	flag in Tcl_Seek. This is needed so that the next call to FlushChannel
+	will write any buffered bytes before doing the seek. The existing code
+	would set the BUFFER_READY flag inside the Tcl_OutputBuffered
+	function. This was a programming error made when Tcl_OutputBuffered
+	was originally created in CVS revision 1.35. The setting of the
+	BUFFER_READY flag should not have been included in the
+	Tcl_OutputBuffered function.
+	* generic/tclTest.c (TestChannelCmd): Use the Tcl_InputBuffered and
+	Tcl_OutputBuffered util methods to query the amount of buffered input
+	and output.
+
+2003-03-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Flush): Compare the nextAdded member of the
+	ChannelBuffer to the nextRemoved member to determine if any output has
+	been buffered. The previous check against the value 0 seems to have
+	just been a coding error. See other methods like Tcl_OutputBuffered
+	for examples where nextAdded is compared to nextRemoved to find the
+	number of bytes buffered.
+
+2003-03-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetsObj): Check that the eol pointer has not
+	gone past the end of the string when in auto translation mode and the
+	INPUT_SAW_CR flag is set. The previous code worked because the end of
+	string value \0 was being compared to \n, this patch just skips that
+	pointless check.
+
+2003-03-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (WriteBytes, WriteChars, Tcl_GetsObj, ReadBytes):
+	Rework calls to TranslateOutputEOL to make it clear that a boolean
+	value is being returned. Add some comments in an effort to make the
+	code more clear. This patch makes no functional changes.
+
+2003-03-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelOption): Invoke the
+	Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize method as a result of changing the
+	-buffersize option to fconfigure. The previous implementation used
+	some inlined code that reset the buffer size to the default size
+	instead of ignoring the request as implemented in
+	Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize.
+	* tests/io.test: Update test case so that it actually checks the
+	implementation of Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize.
+
+2003-03-05  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/rules.vc: updated default tcl version to 8.5.
+
+2003-03-05  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): First attempt at a
+	bytecode-compiled switch command. It only handles the most common case
+	of switching, but that should be enough for this to speed up a lot of
+	people's code. It is expected that the speed gains come from two
+	things: better handling of the switch itself, and integrated
+	compilation of the arms instead of embedding separate bytecode
+	sequences (i.e. better local variable handling.)
+	* tests/switch.test (switch-10.*): Tests of both uncompiled and
+	compiled switch behaviour. [Patch #644819]
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h (TclFixupForwardJumpToHere): Additional macro
+	to make the most common kind of jump fixup a bit easier.

+
+2003-02-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/configure:
+	* win/configure.in: check for 'g' for debug build type, not 'd'.
+	* win/rules.vc (DBGX): correct to use 'g' for nmake win makefile to

+
+2003-02-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2003-02-27  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (MakeFsPathFromRelative): removed dead code

+
+2003-02-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4:

+2003-02-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c: restored Tcl_SetObjLength() side-effect of
+	always invalidating unicode rep (if the obj has a string rep). Added
+	hasUnicode flag to String struct, allows decoupling of validity of
+	unicode rep from buffer size allocated to it (improves memory
+	allocation efficiency). [Bugs 686782, 671138, 635200]
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
+	* macosx/Makefile: reworked embedded build to no longer require
+	relinking but to use install_name_tool instead to change the
+	install_names for embedded frameworks. [Bug 644510]
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: preserve mod dates when running
+	'make install' to build framework (avoids bogus rebuilds of dependent
+	frameworks because tcl headers appear changed).
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-1.8): fix failure when system encoding is

+
+2003-02-14  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinTime.c: Added code to test and compensate for forward
+	leaps of the performance counter. See the MSDN Knowledge Base article
+	Q274323 for the hardware problem that makes this necessary on certain
+	machines.
+	* tests/winTime.test: Revised winTime-2.1 - it had a tolerance of
+	thousands of seconds, rather than milliseconds. (What's six orders of
+	magnitude among friends?) Both the above changes are triggered by a
+	problem reported at:
+	http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/ActiveTcl/1536811
+	although the developers find it difficult to believe that it accounts
+	for the observed behavior and suspect a fault in the RTC chip.
+
+2003-02-13  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c: Added conversion from the system encoding to
+	tcl_platform(user), so that it works with non-ASCII7 user names. [Bug
+	685926]
+
+	* doc/tclsh.1: Added language to describe the handling of the
+	end-of-file character \u001a embedded in a script file. [Bug 685485]
+
+2003-02-11  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	that lsearch -regepx list and pattern objects are equal.
+
+	* tests/stringObj.test:
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_GetCharLength): correct ascii char opt
+	of 2002-11-11 to not stop early on \x00. [Bug 684699]
+
+	* tests.parse.test: remove excess EOF whitespace
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (CommandComplete): more paranoid check to break

+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSJoinPath, Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath):

+	(Tcl_FSConvertToPathType, Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath):
+	(Tcl_FSGetFileSystemForPath): Update string rep of path objects before

+2003-02-10  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure:
+	* win/configure.in: Generate error when attempting to build under
+	Cygwin. The Cygwin port of Tcl/Tk does not build and people are filing
+	bug reports under the mistaken impression that someone is actually
+	maintaining the Cygwin port. A post to comp.lang.tcl asking someone to

+	* tests/fileSystem.test:
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: further filesystem optimization, applying [Patch
+	682500]. In particular, these code examples are faster now:
+	    foreach f $flist { if {[file exists $f]} {file stat $f arr;...}}
+	    foreach f [glob -dir $dir *] { # action and/or recursion on $f }
+	    cd $dir

+	in 'tmp'.
+
+2003-02-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* library/safe.tcl: code cleanup of eval and string comp use.
+
+2003-02-07  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: cleanup long lines
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: sped up pure 'glob' by a factor of 2.5
+	('foreach f [glob *] { file exists $f }' is still slow)
+	* tests/fileSystem.text:
+	* tests/fileName.test: added new tests to ensure correct behaviour in
+	optimized filesystem code.
+
+2003-02-07  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c:
+	* tests/fileSystem.text: fixed test 7.2 to avoid a possible crash, and
+	not change the pwd.
+
+	* tests/http.text: added comment to test 4.15, that it may fail if you
+	use a proxy server.
+
+2003-02-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIncrCmd):
+	* tests/incr.test: Don't include the text "(increment expression)" in
+	the errorInfo generated by the compiled version of the incr command
+	since it does not match the message generated by the non-compiled
+	version of incr. It is also not possible to match this error output
+	under Jacl, which does not support a compiler.
+
+2003-02-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): When an error is
+	encountered reading the increment value during a compiled call to
+	incr, add a "(reading increment)" error string to the errorInfo
+	variable. This makes the errorInfo variable set by the compiled incr
+	command match the value set by the non-compiled version.
+	* tests/incr-old.test: Change errorInfo result for the compiled incr
+	command case to match the modified implementation.
+	* tests/incr.test: Add tests to make sure the compiled and
+	non-compiled errorInfo messages are the same.
+
+2003-02-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Filename arguments to [outputChannel]
+	and [errorChannel] (also -outfile and -errfile) were [open]ed but
+	never [closed]. Also, [cleanupTests] could remove output or error
+	files. [Bug 676978].
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: Bumped to version 2.2.2.
+
+2003-02-05  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/interp.test:
+	* tests/set-old.test: Run test cases that depend on hash order through

+	to make filesystem much less dependent on encodings for its cleanup,
+	and therefore allow it to be finalized later in the exit process. This
+	fixes fileSystem.test-7.1. Also fixed one more bug in setting of

+
+	* tests/basic.test:

+
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:

+
+2003-02-03  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Changed [trace add command] so that 'rename'
+	callbacks get fully qualified names of the command. [Bug 651271].
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	* tests/trace.test: Modified the test cases for [trace add command] to
+	expect fully qualified names on the 'rename' callbacks. Added a case
+	for renaming a proc within a namespace.
+	* doc/trace.n: Added language about use of fully qualified names in
+	trace callbacks.
+
+2003-02-01  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: Removed an unused variable that caused
+	compiler warnings on SGI. [Bug 664379]
+
+	* generic/tclLoad.c: Changed the code so that if Tcl_StaticPackage is
+	called to report the same package as being loaded in two interps, it
+	shows up in [info loaded {}] in both of them (previously, it didn't
+	appear in the static package list in the second).
+
+	* tests/load.test Added regression test for the above bug. [Bug
+	670042]
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c: Fixed a bug that incorrectly allowed [clock
+	clicks {}] and [clock clicks -] to be accepted as if they were [clock
+	clicks -milliseconds].
+
+	* tests/clock.test: Added regression tests for the above bug. [Bug
+	675356]
+
+	* tests/unixNotfy.test: Added cleanup of working files. [Bug 675609]
+
+	* doc/Tcl.n: Added headings to the eleven paragraphs, to improve
+	formatting in the tools that attempt to extract tables of contents
+	from the manual pages. [Bug 627455]
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c: Expanded mutex protection around the setting of
+	env(TZ) and the thread-unsafe call to tzset(). [Bug 656660]
+
+2003-01-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test: Cleaned up management of file/directory
+	creation/deletion to improve "-debug 1" output. [Bug 675614]
+	The utility [slave] command failed to properly [list]-quote a
+	constructed [open] command, causing failure when the pathname
+	contained whitespace. [Bug 678415]
+
+	* tests/main.test: Stopped main.test from deleting existing file. Test
+	suite should not delete files that already exist. [Bug 675660]
+
+2003-01-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	674387]
+
+2003-01-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to setting modification date in
+	TclCrossFilesystemCopy. Also added 'panic' in
+	Tcl_FSGetFileSystemForPath under illegal calling circumstances which
+	lead to hard-to-track-down bugs.
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c: added test suite code to allow exercising a
+	vfs-crash-on-exit bug in Tcl's finalization caused by the encodings
+	being cleaned up before unloading occurs.
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: added new 'knownBug' test 7.1 to demonstrate
+	the crash on exit.
+
+2003-01-28  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Add TCL_PREFIX_IDENT and TCL_DEBUG_IDENT, used only
+	by TclpCreateProcess.
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Define TCL_DBGX.
+	* win/Makefile.in: Define TCL_DBGX.
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): Check that the Tcl pipe dll
+	actually exists in the Tcl bin directory and panic if it is not found.
+	Incorporate TCL_DBGX into the Tcl pipe dll name. This fixes a really
+	mysterious error that would show up when exec'ing a 16 bit application
+	under Win95 or Win98 when Tcl was compiled with symbols. The error
+	seemed to indicate that the executable could not be found, but it was
+	actually the Tcl pipe dll that could not be found.
+
+2003-01-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/README: Update msys+mingw URL to release 6. This version bundles
+	gcc 3.
+
+2003-01-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Add test that checks to see if the compiler can

+	* win/tclWinTime.c: Squelch compiler warning about union initializer
+	by casting to union type when compiling with gcc.
+
+2003-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel): Invoke

+	TclpSpliceFileChannel.
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileCloseProc, TclpOpenFileChannel,
+	(Tcl_MakeFileChannel, TclpCutFileChannel, TclpSpliceFileChannel):
+	Implement thread load data cut and splice for file channels. This
+	avoids an invalid memory ref when compiled with -DDEPRECATED.
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (FileCloseProc, TclpCutFileChannel,
+	(TclpSpliceFileChannel): Implement thread load data cut and splice for
+	file channels. This avoids an invalid memory ref that was showing up
+	in the thread extension.
+
+2003-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace, squelch_warnings):
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel, squelch_warnings):
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, DoCopyFile, squelch_warnings):
+	Re-implement inline ASM SEH handlers for gcc. The esp and ebp
+	registers are now saved on the stack instead of in global variables so
+	that the code is thread safe. Add additional checks when TCL_MEM_DEBUG
+	is defined to be sure the values were recovered from the stack
+	properly. Remove squelch_warnings functions and add a dummy call in
+	the handler methods to squelch compiler warnings.
+
+2003-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure:
+	* win/configure.in: Define HAVE_ALLOCA_GCC_INLINE when we detect that
+	no alloca function is found in malloc.h and we are compiling with GCC.
+	Remove HAVE_NO_ALLOC_DECL define.
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace): Don't define alloca as a
+	cdecl function. Doing this caused a tricky runtime bug because the
+	_alloca function expects the size argument to be passed in a register
+	and not on the stack. To fix this problem, we use inline ASM when
+	compiling with gcc to invoke _alloca with the size argument loaded
+	into a register.
+
+2003-01-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinDde.c (Dde_Init): clarified use of tsdPtr.
+	(DdeServerProc): better refcount handling of returnPackagePtr.
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): revert finalize change on
+	2002-12-04 to correct the issue with extensions that have TSD needing
+	to finalize that before they are unloaded. This issue needs further
+	clarification.
+
+	* tests/unixFCmd.test: only do groups check on unix
+
+2003-01-24  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c: proper fixes for Tcl_SetObjLength and
+	Tcl_AttemptSetObjectLength dealing with string objects with both
+	pure-unicode and normal internal representations. Previous fix didn't
+	handle all cases correctly.
+	* generic/tclIO.c: Add 'Tcl_GetString()' to ensure the object has a
+	valid 'objPtr->bytes' field before manipulating it directly.
+
+	This fixes [Bug 635200] and [Bug 671138], but may reduce performance
+	of Unicode string handling in some cases. A further patch will be
+	applied to address this, once the code is known to be correct.
+
+2003-01-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Add test to see if alloca is undefined in
+	malloc.h.
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace): Rework the SEH exception
+	handler logic to avoid using the stack since alloca will modify the
+	stack. This was causing a nasty bug that would set the exception
+	handler to 0 because it tried to pop the previous exception handler
+	off the top of the stack.
+
+2003-01-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/lset.n: Fixed fault in return values from lset in documentation
+	examples [SF Bug #658463] and tidied up a bit at the same time.
+
+2003-01-21  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	[Patch 670110]
+
+2003-01-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Set SHLIB_SUFFIX so that
+	TCL_SHLIB_SUFFIX will be set to a useful value in the generated
+	tclConfig.sh. Set SHLIB_LD_LIBS to "" or '${LIBS}' based on the
+	--enable-shared flag. This matches the UNIX implementation.
+
+2003-01-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: change %ud to %u as appropriate.
+
+2003-01-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinDde.c (DdeServerProc): Deallocate the Tcl_Obj returned by
+	ExecuteRemoteObject if it was not saved in a connection object.
+
+2003-01-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Revert earlier change that defined TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE
+	as long long and TCL_LL_MODIFIER as L when compiling with mingw. This
+	change ended up causing some test case failures when compiling with
+	mingw.
+	* generic/tclObj.c (UpdateStringOfWideInt): Describe the warning
+	generated by mingw and why it needs to be ignored so that someone is
+	not tempted to "fix" this problem again in the future.
+
+2003-01-16  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c: Tcl_SetObjLength fix for when the object has
+	a unicode string rep. [Bug 635200]
+	* tests/stringObj.test: removed 'knownBug' constraint from test 14.1
+	now that this bug is fixed.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.z:
+	* tests/trace.test: execution and command tracing bug fixes and
+	cleanup. In particular fixed [Bug 655645], [Bug 615043], [Bug 571385]
+	  - fixed some subtle cleanup problems with tracing. This required
+	    replacing Tcl_Preserve/Tcl_Release with a more robust refCount
+	    approach. Solves at least one known crash caused by memory
+	    corruption.
+	  - fixed some confusion in the code between new style traces (Tcl
+	    8.4) and the very limited 'Tcl_CreateTrace' which existed before.
+	  - made behaviour consistent with documentation (several tests even
+	    contradicted the documentation before).
+	  - fixed some minor error message details
+	  - added a number of new tests
+
+2003-01-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+
+	Fix mingw build problems and compiler warnings.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Add if defined(__MINGW32__) check to code that sets

+	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): Don't define savedTimeZone and
+	savedTZEnv if we are not going to use them.
+	* generic/tclEnv.c: Add cast to avoid warning.
+	* win/tclWinChan.c: Use DWORD instead of int to avoid compiler warning
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Only define allocLock, allocLockPtr, and dataKey
+	when TCL_THREADS is defined. This avoid a compiler warning about
+	unused variables.
+
+2003-01-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

+	the Tcl version.
+
+2003-01-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Skip Tcl's define of CHAR, SHORT, and LONG when
+	HAVE_WINNT_IGNORE_VOID is defined. This avoids a bunch of compiler
+	warnings when building with Cygwin or Mingw.
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Define HAVE_WINNT_IGNORE_VOID when we detect a
+	winnt.h that still defines CHAR, SHORT, and LONG when VOID has already
+	been defined.
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_LOAD_TCLCONFIG): Subst the TCL_DEFS loaded from
+	tclConfig.sh so that Tcl defines can make it into the Tk Makefile.
+
+2003-01-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Check for typedefs like LPFN_ACCEPT in winsock2.h
+	and define HAVE_NO_LPFN_DECLS if not found.
+	* win/tclWinSock.c: Define LPFN_* typedefs if HAVE_NO_LPFN_DECLS is
+	defined. This fixes the build under Mingw and Cygwin, it was broken by
+	the changes made on 2002-11-26.
+

+2003-01-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd):  Corrected off-by-one
+	problem with recent commit. [Bug 633204]
+
+2003-01-09  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: remove unused variable 'macSpecialCase'
+	[Bug 664749]
+

+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:

+	* tests/cmdAH.test: fix to non-ascii chars in paths when setting mtime
+	and atime through 'file (a|m)time $path $time'. [Bug 634151]
+
+2003-01-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExprFloatError):  Use the IS_NAN macro for
+	greater clarity of code.
+
+2003-01-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd):
+	* tests/compile.test:	Corrects failure of bytecompiled [catch
+	{return}] to have result TCL_RETURN (not TCL_OK) [Bug 633204]. This
+	patch is a workaround for 8.4.X. A new opcode INST_RETURN is a better
+	long term solution for 8.5 and later.
+
+2003-01-04  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/rules.vc:  Fixed INSTALLDIR macro problem that blanked itself by
+	accident causing the install target to put the tree at the root of the
+	drive built on. Whoops..
+
+	Renamed the 'linkexten' option to be 'staticpkg'. Added 'thrdalloc' to
+	allow the switching _on_ of the thread allocator. Under testing, I
+	found it not to be benificial under windows for the purpose of the
+	application I was using it for. It was more important for this app
+	that resources for tcl threads be returned to the system rather than
+	saved/moved to the global recycler. Be extra clean or extra fast for
+	the default threaded build? Let's move to clean and allow it to be
+	switched on for users who find it benificial for their use of threads.

+2004-12-29  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tcl.m4, win/configure: update MSVC CFLAGS_OPT to -O2, remove -Gs
+	(included in -O2) and -GD (outdated). Use "link -lib" instead of "lib"
+	binary and remove -YX for MSVC7 portability. Add -fomit-frame-pointer
+	for gcc OPT compiles. [Bug 1092952, 1091967] Align LIBS_GUI with Tk
+	head needs.
+
+2004-12-29  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclDate.c: Regen
+	* generic/tclGetDate.y (TclDatelex): Fixed a problem where a
+	four-digit group with >=2 leading zeroes appeared to be a two-digit
+	group, leading to misinterpreting the time 0012 as 1200. [Bug 1090413]
+	* library/clock.tcl: Added code to interpret correctly months outside
+	the range 01-12 as reduced modulo 12 with a corresponding adjustment
+	to the year. [Bug 1092789]
+	* tests/clock.test: Added regression test cases for the above two bugs
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Added --no-lines to the 'bison' command line to
+	* win/Makefile.in: help constrain the number of diffs in a cvs checkin
+
+2004-12-24  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclLiteral.c:
+	* generic/tclProc.c:
+	Avoid sharing cmdName literals accross namespaces, and generalise
+	usage of the TclRegisterNewLiteral macro. [Patch 1090905]
+
+2004-12-20  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: moved TclInitCompiledLocals to tclProc.c
+	* generic/tclProc.c: new static InitCompiledLocals to allow for a
+	single pass over the proc's arguments at proc load time (instead of
+	two as previously). TclObjInterpProc() now allocates the
+	compiledLocals on the tcl execution stack, using the new
+	TclStackAlloc/Free functions.
+
+2004-12-16  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_LimitSetTime, TimeLimitCallback):
+	(TclLimitRemoveAllHandlers, TclInitLimitSupport): Set a timer event to
+	trigger when the time limit runs out. All the time limit actually does
+	is check to see if the time limit has been exceeded, but this is
+	enough to fix [Bug 1085023].
+	* generic/tclInt.h (struct Interp): Added a field to hold the token
+	for the timer event handler associated with the current time limit.
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_UpdateObjCmd, Tcl_VwaitObjCmd): Add error
+	message when limit exceeded.
+	* tests/interp.test (interp-34.[89]): Check that time limits handle
+	the two cases reported in [Bug 1085023]
+
+	* generic/tclTimer.c (TclCreateAbsoluteTimerHandler): New internal
+	function that allows setting a timer handler that will be triggered at
+	(or after) a specific time instead of at some number of milliseconds
+	in the future. This is a candidate for future exposure via a TIP.
+
+2004-12-15  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+

+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
+	* generic/tclProc.c:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* generic/tclTest.c: Added two new functions to allocate memory from
+	the execution stack (TclStackAlloc, TclStackFree). Added functions
+	TclPushStackFrame and TclPopStackFrame that do the work of
+	Tcl_PushCallFrame and Tcl_PopCallFrame, but using frames allocated in
+	the execution stack - i.e., heap instead of C-stack. The core uses
+	these two new functions exclusively; the old ones remain for backwards
+	compat, as at least two popular extensions (itcl, xotcl) are known to
+	use them.
+
+2004-12-14  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclProc.c:
+	* generic/tclVar.c: changing the isProcCallFrame field of the
+	CallFrame struct from a 0/1 field to flags. Should be perfectly
+	backwards compatible.
+
+2004-12-14  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure.in: Added special processing to remove "$U" from
+	libraries in the LIBOBJS value. This is an auto-make-ism we need to
+	avoid. [Bug 1081541]
+
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57
+
+2004-12-13  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Restored extern "C" guards so that C++ code sees
+	function pointer typedef linkage consistent with earlier Tcl releases.
+	[Bug 1082349]
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Plugged some memory leaks. Thanks to Rolf Ade
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	 for reports and testing [Bug 1083082]
+
+2004-12-13  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+
+2004-12-12  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+

+	[Bug 1084111] - thanks to Rolf Ade.
+
+2004-12-12  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclSetCmdNameObj): special handling for fully

+
+2004-12-11  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:

+
+2004-12-10  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tools/tcl.wse.in, unix/tcl.spec, win/README.binary, README:
+	* win/configure.in, unix/configure.in, generic/tcl.h:
+	Bumped version number to 8.5a3 to distinguish HEAD of CVS development
+	from the recent 8.5a2 release.
+
+2004-12-10  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclInitCompiledLocals):
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProc, TclCreateProc): optimised

+
+2004-12-10  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Move ensemble API decls here from tclNamesp.c
+
+2004-12-09  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclMakeEnsembleCmd, TclSetEnsemble*)
+	(TclSetEnsemble*, TclFindEnsemble): Build an internal API for creating
+	and manipulating ensembles; they can be deleted using the normal
+	command-deletion API.
+
+	* doc/Async.3: Reword for better grammar, better nroff and get the
+	flag name right. (Reported by David Welton.)
+
+2004-12-07  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test (2.1-4): Added constraints so that when a value
+	of TCL_LIBRARY is required for process initialization, we skip the
+	tests that mess with that value.
+
+2004-12-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	*** 8.5a2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: add library/{tzdata,msgs} to dist target (kbk)
+
+	* doc/foreach.n: Adjust tabs to be friendlier to some HTML
+	converters. [Bug 1078760]
+
+2004-12-06  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (NotifierThreadProc): init numFdBits
+	[Bug 1079286]
+
+	* doc/error.n, doc/SaveResult.3, doc/Thread.3: minor nroff typos
+
+2004-12-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/safe.test:	Trim auto_path to improve performance [1080039]
+
+	* tests/msgcat.test:	makeFile/removeFile cleanup [1079117]
+
+2004-12-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	Different fix for [Bug 1077005].
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:	Broke apart TclpSetInitialEncodings() on
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Windows into TclpSetInterfaces(), that is
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	fundamentally essential, and the initialization
+	* win/tclWinInit.c:	of the system encoding, which is not. Made
+	the TclpSetInterfaces call part of TclInitSubsystems so it cannot be
+	overlooked.
+
+2004-12-03  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* changes: updated for 8.5a2 release
+
+2004-12-02  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclSetProcessGlobalValue): Handle the case where
+	a ProcessGlobalValue might be assigned to itself.
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (MakeFileMap): Correct refcounting errors
+	managing values returned by TclPathPart (with refCount of 1!) that led
+	to a memory leak. [Bug 1077474].
+
+2004-12-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c:  fix and new tests for [Bug 1074671] to ensure
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: tilde paths are not returned specially by
+	'glob'.
+
+2004-12-02  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: Added a 'sed' in the setting of ROOT_DIR_NATIVE to
+	compensate for a bug in cygpath (at least version 1.36) that leaves a
+	trailing backslash on the end of the converted path.
+
+2004-12-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (Alias,Target,Master): Rewrote these so that the
+	aliases that refer to an interpreter are stored in a list and not a
+	hashtable (which was only ever a convenience, and forced the use of a
+	global mutex to generate keys!) [FRQ 1077210]
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (numNsCreated): Moved into thread-local storage
+	to remove a global mutex. [FRQ 1077210]
+
+2004-12-01  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetProcessGlobalValue): Narrowed the scope of
+	mutex locks.
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:		Updated Tcl_GetNameOfExecutable() to
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	make use of a ProcessGlobalValue for
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:		storing the executable name. Added
+	internal routines Tcl(Get|Set)ObjNameOfExecutable() to access that
+	storage in Tcl_Obj, rather than string format.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:	Rewrote TclpFindExecutable() to use
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:	TclSetObjNameOfExecutable to store the
+	executable name it computes.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Added internal stub entries for
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: TclpFindExecutable and
+	Tcl(Get|Set)ObjNameOfExecutable.
+
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:	Retrieve executable name in Tcl_Obj form
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:	instead of string form.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTest.c:	Update [testfindexecutable] command to use new
+	internal interfaces.
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	Moved TclpSetInitialEncodings() call
+	from Tcl_FindExecutable() into TclInitEncodingSubsystem(). This is
+	important on Windows where it establishes whether the "ascii" or
+	"unicode" set of system routines will be used, and that needs to be
+	done earlier to support filesystem operations. [Bug 1077005]
+
+2004-12-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/winDde.test: Rewritten to use tcltest2 features more
+	thoroughly (reducing the [catch] count!) and fix the problem with
+	winDde-6.1 being out of synch with the implementation.
+
+2004-11-30  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/init.tcl ([unknown]): Restored the save/restore of the
+	variables ::errorCode and ::errorInfo. This is needed when the
+	[::bgerror] command is auto-loaded (as it is by Tk).
+
+	Patch 976520 reworks several of the details involved with
+	startup/initialization of the Tcl library, focused on the activities
+	of Tcl_FindExecutable().
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c:	Removed bogus claim in comment that encoding
+	"iso8859-1" is "built-in" to Tcl.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Created a new struct ProcessGlobalValue,
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	routines Tcl(Get|Set)ProcessGlobalValue, and
+	function type TclInitProcessGlobalValueProc. Together, these take care
+	of the housekeeping for "values" (things that can be held in a
+	Tcl_Obj) that are global across a whole process. That is, they are
+	shared among multiple threads, and epoch and mutex protection must
+	govern the validity of cached copies maintained in each thread.
+
+	* generic/tclNotify.c:	Modified TclInitNotifier() to tolerate being
+	called multiple times in the same thread.
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:	Dropped the unused argv0 argument to
+	TclInitSubsystems(). Removed machinery to unsure only one
+	TclInitNotifier() call per thread, now that that is safe. Converted
+	Tcl(Get|Set)LibraryPath to use a ProcessGlobalValue, and moved them to
+	tclEncoding.c.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Updated caller.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	TclpFindExecutable now returns void.
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Built new encoding search initialization on a
+	foundation of ProcessGlobalValues, exposing new routines
+	Tcl(Get|Set)EncodingSearchPath. A cache of a map from encoding name to
+	directory pathname keeps track of where encodings are available for
+	loading. Tcl_FindExecutable greatly simplified into just three
+	function calls. The "library path" is now misnamed, as its only
+	remaining purpose is as a foundation for the default encoding search
+	path.
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Inlined the initScript that is evaluated by
+	Tcl_Init(). Added verification after initScript evaluation that Tcl
+	can find its installed *.enc files, and that it has initialized
+	[encoding system] in agreement with what the environment expects.
+	[tclInit] no longer driven by the value of $::tcl_libPath; it largely
+	constructs its own search path now, rather than attempt to share one
+	with the encoding system.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	TclpSetInitialEncodings factored so that a new
+	* win/tclWinInit.c:	routine TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment can
+	reveal that Tcl thinks the [encoding system] should be, even when an
+	incomplete encoding search path, or a missing *.enc file won't allow
+	that initialization to succeed. TclpInitLibraryPath reworked as an
+	initializer of a ProcessGlobalValue.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTest.c:	Update implementations of [testfindexecutable],
+	[testgetdefenc], and [testsetdefenc].
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test:	Corrected tests to operate properly even when
+	a value of TCL_LIBRARY is required to find encodings.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: New internal stubs: TclGetEncodingSearchPath,
+	TclSetEncodingSearchPath, TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment. These
+	are candidates for public exposure by future TIPs.
+
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c:	Updated [testencoding] to use
+	* tests/encoding.test:	Tcl(Get|Set)EncodingSearchPath.	 Updated tests.
+
+2004-11-30  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl: Corrected the regular expressions that match a
+	time zone to allow for time zones specified as +HH or -HH.
+	* tests/clock.test: Added regression test case for the above issue.
+	Thanks to Rolf Ade for reporting this issue [http://wiki.tcl.tk/13094]
+	* win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Corrected a typo that caused a
+	compilation failure on VC++.
+
+2004-11-29  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Brought entry '2004-10-26 Don
+	Porter (Tcl Modules)' into the windows world, actually the
+	win/configure buildsystem. The other windows buildsystems (.vc, .bc)
+	still have to be updated as well.
+
+2004-11-26  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinDde.c (ExecuteRemoteObject): Removed bogus semicolon found
+	at the end of the header for the function definition, terminating it
+	early and preventing a compile. This is likely a fix for '2004-11-25
+	Donal'. I have to conclude that it is also unknown if the other
+	changes to this file actually pass the testsuite. Running testsuite
+	... They don't. winDde-6.1 fails. This is only a message discrepance,
+	i.e. not too bad. Leaving resolution of that to Pat and Donal.
+
+2004-11-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary): Made sure the uniquifying
+	operations on the search path does not also normalize. [Bug 1072136]
+
+2004-11-26  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/configure.in: Simplify the code to check for correctness of
+	strstr, strtoul and strtod.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_TCL_CHECK_BROKEN_FUNC): Split a complex stanza out
+	of configure.in into its own function. Also force it to do the right
+	thing with cacheing of results of AC_TRY_RUN to deal with issue raised
+	in [Patch 1073524]
+
+	* doc/foreach.n: Added simple example. [FRQ 1073334]
+
+2004-11-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProc):	    Make it so that only
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs): [proc] instances do
+	* tests/indexObj.test (indexObj-5.7):	    quoting of their first
+	arguments, so keeping [Bug 942757] fixed and making [Bug 1066837] be
+	fixed as well. Done with a load of #ifdef-ery because this hack is so
+	ugly nobody should keep it around once Itcl's fixed.
+
+2004-11-25  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test: The order in which [glob] returns the file names
+	is undefined, so tests should not depend on it.
+
+2004-11-25  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/Thread.3:
+	* doc/Notifier.3: Added changes from the core-8-4-branch
+
+2004-11-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/dde.n: Synchronized the documentation of the commands with the
+	header of the docs and what the package actually does. Thanks to
+	Andreas Kupries for spotting this.
+	* win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Much cleanup of argument parsing
+	code.
+
+2004-11-24  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclPort.h: Relative include of tclWinPort.h returned as it
+	was requiring me set -I$(tcl_root)/win for my extensions that need to
+	include tclInt.h and doesn't appear to serve any purpose for windows
+	builds.
+
+2004-11-24  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Corrected bad check for 3-argument
+	readdir_r [Bug 1001325].
+	* unix/configure: Regenerated.
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: Corrected all uses of 'select' to manage their
+	masks using the FD_CLR, FD_ISSET, FD_SET, and FD_ZERO macros rather
+	than bit-whacking that failed under Solaris-Sparc-64. [Bug 1071807]
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Removed unused vars 'pathc'
+	and 'pathv' that caused compilation problems on VC++ with
+	--enable-symbols.
+
+2004-11-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Corrected failure to determine the
+	number of arguments for readdir_r on SunOS systems. [Bug 1071701]
+
+	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.57
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoVarsCmd):	Corrected segfault in new
+	* tests/info.test (info-19.6):	trivial matching branch [Bug 1072654]
+
+2004-11-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tools/man2html.tcl, tools/man2html1.tcl: Update to use Tcl 8.4.
+	* tools/man2html2.tcl: Fix broken .SS handling.
+
+2004-11-23  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+	* unix/Makefile.in: Add (commented-out) code to integrate tclConfig.h
+	into the dependency tree and 'make distclean'. [Bug 1068171]
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_AppendResultVA): Remove call to
+	Tcl_GetStringResult to speed up repeated calls to Tcl_AppendResult
+	with the side effect that code that wants to access interp->result
+	should always call Tcl_GetStringResult first. See [Patch 1041072]
+	discussion for more details.

+2004-11-22  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_TCL_64BIT_FLAGS): Define HAVE_TYPE_OFF64_T only when
+	off64_t, open64(), and lseek64() are defined. IRIX 5.3 is known to not
+	include an open64 function. [Bug 1030465]

+2004-11-22  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Check for a 2 argument version of
+	readdir_r that is known to exists under IRIX 5.3.
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpReaddir): Use either 2 arg or 3 arg version
+	of readdir_r. [Bug 1001325]
+
+2004-11-22  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Purged dead code that used
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):  to extend the "library
+	path". Search path construction for init.tcl is now done within the
+	[tclInit] proc.
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Restored several directories to the search
+	* tests/unixInit.test:	path used to locate init.tcl within [tclInit].
+	This change does not restore any directories to the encoding search
+	path, so should still avoid the price of an unreasonably large number
+	of filesystem accesses during encoding initialization at startup
+	[Bug 976438]

+
+	* macosx/Makefile:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (MacOSXGetLibraryPath): changed detection of tcl

+
+2004-11-18  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES): Applied an improved version of
+	* unix/configure.in:		    [Patch 996085], that introduces
+	* unix/Makefile.in:		    --enable-man-suffix.
+
+	* unix/installManPage:		    added

+
+2004-11-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure.in: The change below reveals that the public data
+	type Tcl_StatBuf relies on config information. For now, disabled the
+	use of the tclConfig.h file until its full impact on Tcl's interface
+	can be assessed.
+
+	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.57
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Moved the #include "tclConfig.h" out of
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	tcl.h.	The config settings are not part of
+	* generic/tclPort.:	the public interface, and having it there
+	breaks compiled against uninstalled Tcl and extensions using
+	autoconf-2.5*.
+
+2004-11-16  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtySetOptionProc): fixed crash configuring

+
+2004-11-16  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclFSEpochOk): There were two code paths via
+	which the thread copy of filesystemEpoch could be synched with the
+	master copy, but only one kept the filesystem list cache up to date.
+	Fix routes everything through a single code path. [Bug 1035775].
+
+2004-11-16  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+2004-11-16  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:

+
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57
+
+2004-11-15  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Added comment warning that the old ERR_IN_PROGRESS
+	and ERROR_CODE_SET flag values should not be re-used for the sake of
+	those extensions that have accessed them.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd): Fixed Bug 1065378 which failed
+	* tests/trace.test (trace-33.1):	to permit a variable trace

+
+2004-11-12  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	TIP #221 IMPLEMENTATION
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Define [::tcl::Bgerror] in new interps.

+	* generic/tclMain.c:
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	make genstubs
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+
+	* unix/tclAppInit.c:	Removed tclConfig.h #include, now that tcl.h
+				takes care of it for us.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Moved verification of ptrdiff_t typedef from
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: multiple .c files into one common header where
+	* generic/tclVar.c:	it is verifiably after tclConfig.h inclusion.
+
+2004-11-12  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* unix/Makefile.in: include tclConfig.h from tcl.h and install it as a
+	public header. Normalized compiler include path order to
+	-I${BUILD_DIR} -I${UNIX_DIR} -I${GENERIC_DIR}.
+
+	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: add ${BUILD_DIR}/.. to include path to pick
+	up tclConfig.h.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: moved check for HAVE_CFBUNDLE define after
+	#include "tclInt.h" to ensure tclConfig.h has been included.
+
+2004-11-12  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* unix/config.h.in:
+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in:	renamed
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	Completed support for config header,
+	* unix/configure.in:	fixed building outside of the unix dir,
+	* unix/tclAppinit.c:	and reflected the name change of config.h.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+
+	* unix/configure:	generated
+
+2004-11-12  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/config.h.in:	Allow configure to put all the C #defs into
+	* unix/configure.in:	a file (called config.h) so that Unix builds
+	* unix/tcl.m4:		now take far fewer lines of scrollback to
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	proceed (making it less likely that any errors
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	or warnings will get missed).
+	* unix/tclAppInit.c:	Part of the TIP#34 upgrades.
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4, unix/tclUnixPort.h: Check for pthread_attr_get_np in
+	<pthread.h> before forcing the use of <pthread_np.h> to make things
+	work on NetBSD 2.0. [Bug 1064882]
+
+	* doc/binary.n, doc/upvar.n: More minor fixes.
+
+2004-11-12  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/CrtChannel.3:

+	* doc/Limit.3:
+	* doc/binary.n:
+	* doc/dict.n:
+	* doc/tm.n:
+	* doc/upvar.n: fixed *roff errors uncovered by running 'make html'.
+
+	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: added faked support for bullet point
+	lists, i.e. *nroff ".IP \(bu" syntax.
+
+2004-11-11  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test:
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TraverseUnixTree): added option to rewind() the
+	readdir() loop whenever the source hierarchy has been modified by
+	traverseProc (e.g. by deleting files); this is required to ensure
+	complete traversal of the source hierarchy on certain filesystems like
+	HFS+. Added test for failing recursive delete on Mac OS X that was due
+	to this. [Bug 1034337]
+
+	* generic/tclListObj.c (Tcl_ListObjReplace): use memmove() instead of
+	manual copy loop to shift list elements. Decreases time spent in
+	Tcl_ListObjReplace() from 5.2% to 1.7% of overall runtime of tclbench
+	on a ppc 7455 (i.e. 200% speed increase). [Patch 1064243]
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c: hoisted some constant pointer dereferences out of
+	loops to eliminate redundant loads that the gcc optimizer didn't deal
+	with. Decreases time spend in Tcl_FindHashEntry() by 10% over a full
+	run of the tcl testuite on a ppc 7455. [Patch 1064243]
+
+	* tests/fileName.test:
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:
+	* tests/io.test:
+	* tests/msgcat.test:
+	* tests/tcltest.test:
+	* tests/unixInit.test: fixed bugs causing failures when running tests
+	with -tmpdir arg not set to working dir.
+
+	* macosx/Makefile: corrected path to html help inside framework.
+	Prevent parallel make from building several targets at the same time.
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c (struct fileinfobuf): force struct to be
+	packed to prevent failures when builing with -malign=natural.
+
+2004-11-10  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: [Bug 727786]. Exterminated the code marked
+	DEPRECATED. This code has not been used in over a year now, and we
+	have no complaints.
+
+2004-11-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c: The pipe channel driver now respects the -blocking
+	option when closing is the same way the UNIX side works. This is to
+	avoid a hung shell when exiting due to open pipes that refuse to close
+	in a graceful manner.
+	* doc/open.n: Added a note about -blocking 0 and lack of exit status
+	as it had never been documented. [Bug 947693]
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+
+	Scripts that use async pipes on windows, must (like the UNIX side) set
+	-blocking to 1 before calling [close] to receive the exit status.
+
+2004-11-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tests/winFile.test: added contraint to winFile-4.0 to prevent it
+	being run on NT4 [Bug 981829]
+
+2004-11-05  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/reg.test: Major reorganization so that this file is much
+	easier for a normal Tcl maintainer to comprehend. The test flags are
+	still very cryptic, but they appear to have to be that way. The number
+	of skipped tests has increased, but now the skipped tests have much
+	more meaningful content.
+
+	* tests/tm.test (genpaths): Add a [file normalize] so we pick up
+	Windows drive letters, etc. [Bug 1053568]
+
+2004-11-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes:	Updates toward an 8.5a2 release.
+
+2004-11-03  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl (FreeScan): Fixed a bug where scanning "Monday"
+	with a base time other than midnight incorrectly carried the base time
+	forward.
+
+	* test/clock.test (clock-33.{5,5a}): Made the test failure more
+	informative.
+
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-34.{28,44,45,46}): Removed 'knownBug'
+	constraints from tests that no longer fail.
+
+	Thanks to Don Porter for reporting these.
+
+2004-11-03  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:		Moved the preprocessor logic
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:		from tclInt.h of setting the
+	* generic/tclInt.h:		TCL_STORAGE_CLASS macro to the
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:	tcl*Decls.h files now that no
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:	use of EXTERN is left in tclInt.h.
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:	Proto for Tcl_Main moved in tcl.h
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:		to prior the inclusion of the Stubs
+	headers as they are now resetting TCL_STORAGE_CLASS. Removed
+	extraineous reset from tclWinPort.h. [Patch 1055668]
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: Removed extrainious reset of TCL_STORAGE_CLASS
+	missed in my last edit.
+
+2004-11-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/init.tcl ([unknown]): Corrections to the 2004-10-25 mods to
+	Aunt ??? in [unknown]. Flaws revealed by Itcl test suite, which still
+	apparently relies on this brokenness. Also added comment suggesting
+	the error message that any code using this hack *ought* to receive in
+	reply.
+
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TclCallVarTraces):  Improved ability to debug
+	* tests/incr-old.test (incr-old-2.6):	  errors during variable
+	* tests/incr.test (incr-{1,2}.28):	  traces by preserving the
+	* tests/set.test (set-{2,4}.4):		  -errorinfo data.
+	* tests/trace.test (trace-33.1):	  [Bug 527164]
+
+2004-11-02  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: added a check for #ifdef __cplusplus around the
+	#define of MODULE_SCOPE. About the only time it would be problem is
+	when someone is statically linking to Tcl and accessing internals from
+	a C++ file and has name mangling issues from the lack of "C" after
+	'extern' [Patch 1055668].
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: Exchanged use of the EXTERN macro to the new
+	MODULE_SCOPE macro. Lowered exported internals count by 35. [Patch
+	1055668]
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: exported internals dropped by a count of 14.
+	* generic/tclFileSystem.h: Added use of MODULE_SCOPE on protos.
+	* generic/tclRegexp.h: manipulating TCL_STORAGE_CLASS unnecessary.
+
+2004-11-02  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:		Corrected some misleading
+	* tests/tcltest.test (tcltest-26.1,2):	displays of ::errorInfo and
+	::errorCode information when the -setup, -body, and/or -cleanup scripts
+	return an unexpected return code. Thanks to Robert Seeger for the fix.
+	[RFE 1017151].
+
+2004-11-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Improved version of the
+	NaN fix from Miguel Sofer. [Bug 761471]
+
+2004-11-02  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/tzdata/America/Cuiaba: Change to DST rules for

+	[ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2004g.tar.gz]
+

+	library/clock.tcl.
+
+2004-11-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: Simplify TclpUtime to use Tcl_FSGetNativePath, and
+	add comments.
+
+2004-11-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Change uses of EXTERN to MODULE_SCOPE (defined in
+	this file too to be 'extern' if not overridden) as nothing declared in
+	tclInt.h is supposed to be visible outside the Tcl core. If there *is*
+	anything that extensions are actually using, we can open this up later
+	on. [Patch 1055668]
+
+	* doc/CrtChannel.3 (Tcl_GetChannelMode): Add synopsis. [Bug 1058446]
+
+2004-11-01  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (FromCTime, TclpUtime): Replaced a call to the
+	Posix 'utime' function with calls to Windows-API equivalents, to avoid
+	a bug where the VC++ versions misconvert times across a Daylight
+	Saving Time boundary. [Bug 926106]
+	* win/tclWinInt.h (TclWinProcs):
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (asciiProcs, unicodeProcs): Removed now-unused
+	reference to 'utime'.
+	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-24.12): Added test case for the above bug.
+
+2004-11-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Make INST_EQ and friends
+	handle NaN correctly in all cases. [Bug 761471]
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceInscopeCmd): Make the error message
+	generation the same as in NamespaceEvalCmd().
+	(Tcl_Import): Rationalized to use Tcl_EvalObjv().
+
+2004-10-31  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/io.test (io-40.3): Convert umask2 test constraint into a form
+	that most people will be able to satisfy.
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-8.45): Removed broken test constraint. It
+	didn't do what it was intended to do, and it implied the other correct
+	constraint. [Bug 1053908]
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoGlobalsCmd):
+	* tests/info.test (info-8.4): Strip leading global-namespace
+	specifiers from the pattern argument. [Bug 1057461]
+
+2004-10-30  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/clock.c: Replaced WIN32 macro with __WIN32__. [Bug 1054357].
+	Thanks to David Gravereaux for the patch.
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: Removed a long-standing bug that causes incorrect
+	conversion between file time and UTC time if the file time is recorded
+	in a different Daylight Saving Time status than the current one. [Bug
+	926106]
+
+2004-10-29  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Correct reaction to errors in the
+	obsolete processCmdLineArgsHook.	[Bug 1055673]
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:	Bump to tcltest 2.2.7
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* tests/all.tcl:	Update to use [tcltest::configure].
+
+2004-10-29  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::*): Use the core proc engine to generate
+	the wrong-num-args error messages for the path ensemble.
+
+	Ensembles can now (sometimes) rewrite the error messages of their
+	subcommands so they appear more like the arguments that the user
+	passed to the ensemble. Below is a description of changes involved in
+	doing this.
+
+	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-50.*): Tests of ensemble subcommand
+	error message rewriting.
+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProc): Make procedures implement
+	their wrong-num-args message using Tcl_WrongNumArgs instead of
+	something baked-at-home.
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclIsEnsemble, NsEnsembleImplementationCmd):
+	Added test of ensemble-hood (available to rest of core) and made
+	ensembles set up the rewriting for Tcl_WrongNumArgs to take advantage
+	of.
+	* generic/tclInt.h (Interp.ensembleRewrite): Extra fields.
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs): Add knowledge of what is
+	going on in ensembles' command rewriting so this command can generate
+	the right error message itself.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp, TclEvalObjvInternal): Added
+	code to initialize (as empty) the rewriting fields and reset them when
+	we leak outside an ensemble implementation.
+
+2004-10-28  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_START_CMD):
+	* tests/execute.test (execute-8.3): fix for execution stack corruption
+	[Bug 1055676]. Credit dgp for detective work and fix.

+2004-10-27  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/socket.test (socket-13.1):	Balanced [makeFile] and
+	[removeFile] commands.
+
+	* tests/clock.test:	Correct duplicate test names.
+	* tests/namespace.test:
+	* tests/string.test:
+	* tests/io.test (io-50.4):	Use namespace variables.

+2004-10-27  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:	  The following 9 functions were moved from
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	  tclInt.h to the private/int Stubs table for
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:  use by the test suite. As tclTest.obj is
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:  linked to the shell, these functions need
+	"blessed" status so as to always be exported from the library. Being
+	placed in the Stubs table guarantees this [Bug 1054748]:
+		TclpObjRemoveDirectory,	TclpObjCopyDirectory,
+		TclpObjCreateDirectory,	TclpObjDeleteFile,
+		TclpObjCopyFile,	TclpObjRenameFile,
+		TclpObjStat,		TclpObjAccess,
+		TclpOpenFileChannel
+
+	* tests/registry.test:	Fixed test files to load the correct
+	* tests/winDde.test:	registry and dde packages by using the info
+	* win/Makefile.in:	from makefiles to tell tcltest where to load
+	* win/makefile.vc:	them from. This avoids grabbing the wrong
+	package from $auto_path which might be the install point rather than
+	the dev location. Kudos to Jennifer Hom for adding -load and
+	-loadfile to the tcltest package. [Bug 926088]
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclFinalizeLock): release the critical section
+	before deleting it. [Bug 731778]
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Removed the file level 'extern "C" {' and the
+	coresponding closing block as it serves no purpose given that all the
+	function prototypes have the proper extern usage already.
+
+	* unix/tclAppInit.c:	When built as tcltest, TclThread_Init was
+	* win/tclAppInit.c:	getting called twice. First by Tcltest_Init,
+	then again in Tcl_AppInit. The call from Tcl_AppInit is now removed.
+
+2004-10-27  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/tm.test:  Expanded on the testsuite entered by Donal.
+	* library/tm.tcl: Even found bugs, these have been corrected.
+
+2004-10-26  Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/format.test (format-19.1): Additional regression test for [Bug
+	868489].
+
+2004-10-27  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/*.n: Many small general documentation fixes.
+
+2004-10-26  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCleanupChildren): bad cast of resolvedPid
+	caused PIDs on win95 to go negative. winpipe-4.2 brought this to the
+	surface. Fixed with sprintf in place of TclFormatInt. Thanks to hgiese
+	[Patch 767676]
+
+2004-10-26  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::Defaults): Added a second [file dirname]
+	around the location of the executable. This fixes [Bug 1038705].
+	Instable of a bogus "foo/bin/lib" we now have the correct "foo/lib" as
+	a base path for modules.
+
+2004-10-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_SubstObj):	Fix for failed subst-12.3 test
+	* tests/subst.test (subst-12.3-5):	More tests for Bug 1036649.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Updated the installation of
+	the http, msgcat, and tcltest packages to install as Tcl Modules on
+	Unix systems. Other platform Makefiles still need updating. [Patch
+	1054370]
+
+	* tests/basic.test:	Added missing constraints.
+	* tests/compile.test:
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:
+
+	* tests/init.test (init-2.8):	Updated to not rely on http package.
+
+2004-10-26  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclVar.c: removed more direct references to the VAR flags,
+	replaced with access macros.
+
+2004-10-26  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/expr.n: Clarified that non-num/non-bool literals require
+	quoting. [Bug 1027849]. Also listed booleans as acceptable values.
+
+2004-10-26  Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl (FreeScan): Fixed a bug that caused relative days
+	of the week in free-form [clock scan] to be evaluated in the wrong
+	time zone.
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-31.[456]): Made sure that there isn't an
+	env(TZ) or env(TCL_TZ) lying around that will override the time zone
+	that we're trying to establish with the simulated registry.
+	Both problems reported as [Bug 1054101].
+
+2004-10-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/string.n (map): Rewrote to clarify that we don't just map single
+	characters. [Bug 1048005]
+	* doc/info.n (procs): Clarified that the pattern argument may have
+	namespace separators in it. [Bug 1047928]
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-8.45): Simplify in the hope that the reasons
+	for [Bug 1053908] will become clearer.
+
+2004-10-25  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (IllegalExprOperandType,TclExecuteByteCode):
+	Removed several DECACHE_INFO/CACHE_INFO pairs that are no longer
+	needed for protection because routines like Tcl_SetErrorCode() and
+	Tcl_AddErrorInfo() can no longer re-enter bytecode execution.
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclProcessReturn): Bug fix. Be sure that a
+	missing -errorinfo option when code == TCL_ERROR causes the errorInfo
+	field to get reset.
+
+	* tests/thread.test (thread-4.4): Test depended on a ::errorInfo value
+	initialized to "". Added code to test to setup that requirement.
+
+	* library/auto.tcl:	Purged Tcl's script library of all
+	* library/clock.tcl:	remaining references to global vars
+	* library/init.tcl:	::errorInfo and ::errorCode.
+
+	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main): Updated to make use of
+	TclGetReturnOptions instead of ::errorInfo variable.
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (tclInit): Bug fix. Access dict variables with
+	[dict get], not array syntax.
+
+2004-10-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/tm.test: Rewrote the tests to actually perform syntax checks
+	on the public API. Added a new test (currently failing) to indicate
+	that the test suite is not complete yet.
+	* library/tm.tcl (path): Rewrote to turn this command into an ensemble
+	to make it faster and simpler.
+
+2004-10-24  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclTrace.c: defined new macros to get/set the flags of
+	variables. The only files that still access the flag values directly
+	are tclCompCmds.c, tclCompile.c, tclProc.c and tclVar.c
+
+2004-10-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_LogCommandInfo,Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo): Shift
+	the initialization of errorCode to NONE to more central location.
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (BgError,Tcl_BackgroundError,HandleBgErrors):
+	Rewrite to build on the new TclGet/SetReturnOptions routines.
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclGetReturnOptions): Add call to
+	Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo to be sure error fields are initialized.
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclTransferResult): Rewrite to build on the new
+	TclGet/SetReturnOptions routines.
+
+2004-10-22  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/tm.n: Tightened up the documentation.
+	* tests/tm.test: Created (with partially dummy content) so TIP#189 can
+	be marked Final.
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NsEnsembleImplementationCmd): Make ensembles
+	cut their implementations out of error traces. This is the right thing
+	to do more often than not.
+
+2004-10-22  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl: Fixed a typo where the fallback time zone became
+	::localtime instead of :localtime. Fixed a bug where time zone names
+	containing hyphens could not be loaded.
+	* tests/clock.test: Added regression test cases that covers both bugs.
+	Thanks to Todd M. Helfter <tmh@jumpgate.itsp.purdue.edu> for finding
+	these bugs.
+
+2004-10-22  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj, Tcl_ExprObj):
+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclProcCompileProc): Always call object
+	freeIntRepProc's in the same way.
+
+2004-10-22  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: fixed bug in commit of 2004-07-23, which was
+	causing a leak of Proc structures and failure of compile-12.1. Two
+	lines were 'zombies' from the previous way localVarNames worked.
+	Credit dgp for finding this.
+
+2004-10-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (Interp):
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp,Tcl_DeleteInterp):
+	* generic/tclResult.c (GetKeys,ReleaseKeys,etc.): Moved the key values
+	of the return options dictionary out of private fields of the Interp
+	struct and into thread-static values managed in tclResult.c.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_CatchObjCmd, Tcl_ErrorObjCmd): Updated to
+	call the new TclGet/SetReturnOptions routines to do much of their
+	work.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclGetReturnOptions,TclSetReturnOptions):
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclGetReturnOptions,TclSetReturnOptions): New
+	utility routines to get/set the return options of an interp. Intent is
+	that these routines will be converted to public routines after TIP
+	approval.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclProcessReturn,TclMergeReturnOptions):
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclProcessReturn,TclMergeReturnOptions): Move
+	internal utility routines from tclCmdMZ.c to tclResult.c.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp, Tcl_DeleteInterp):
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclTransferResult): Rework so that
+	iPtr->returnOpts can be NULL when there are no special options.
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclRestoreInterpState): Plug potential memory
+	leak.
+
+2004-10-21  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Various changes to [clock format] that,
+	* generic/tclClock.c: together, make it roughly twice as fast
+	* generic/tclInt.h:   while all tests in the test suite
+	* library/clock.tcl:  continue to pass.
+
+2004-10-20  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in (install-msgs):   Fixed a problem with the
+	* win/Makefile.in (install-tzdata): installation of timezone data and
+	message catalogs. They used the installed tcl library directory, not
+	the source library. Before it was installed. Switched to source lib
+	dir. Thanks to Kevin for the help in figuring this out.
+
+2004-10-20  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (ThreadEventProc): Corrected subtle bug
+	where the returned (char *) from Tcl_GetStringResult(interp) continued
+	to be used without copying or refcounting, while activity on the
+	interp continued. That's not safe, and recent changes demonstrated the
+	lack of safety with failing tests thread-4.3 and thread-4.5.
+
+2004-10-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictWithCmd): Make sure all paths (that are
+	not themselves error paths) do not lose the result code.
+
+2004-10-19  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (Tcl*InterpState):		New internal routines
+	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl*InterpState):	TclSaveInterpState,
+	TclRestoreInterpState, and TclDiscardInterpState are superior
+	replacements for Tcl_(Save|Restore|Discard)Result. Intent is that
+	these routines will be converted to public routines after TIP
+	approval. Interfaces for these routines were shamelessly stolen from
+	Itcl.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal):
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictUpdateCmd, DictWithCmd):
+	* generic/tclIOGT.c (ExecuteCallback):
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (Trace*Proc,TclCheck*Traces,TclCallVarTraces):
+	Callers of Tcl_*Result updated to call the new routines. The calls
+	were relocated in several cases to perform save/restore operations
+	only when needed.
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors):
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c (CopyRenameOneFile): Calls to Tcl_*Result that
+	were eliminated because they appeared to serve no useful purpose,
+	typically saving/restoring an error message, only to throw it away.
+
+2004-10-18  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp,Tcl_DeleteInterp):
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_CatchObjCmd):

+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd):
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj):
+	* generic/tclInt.h (Interp):
+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclUpdateReturnInfo): Place primary storage of
+	the -level and -code information in private fields of the Interp
+	struct, rather than in a DictObj. This should significantly improve
+	performance of TclUpdateReturnInfo.
+
+2004-10-17  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c: removed unused variable [Bug 1048588]. Thanks
+	to Daniel South.
+
+2004-10-15  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclProcessReturn):	Now that primary
+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclUpdateReturnInfo):	storage for the
+	errorInfo and errorCode values are internal fields, we can set them at
+	the time of the [return] command, and not have to wait until the
+	specified number of "-level"s have popped.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp, Tcl_DeleteInterp)
+	(TclEvalObjvInternal, Tcl_LogCommandInfo, TclAddObjErrorInfo):

+	(TclTeardownNamespace):
+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclUpdateReturnInfo):
+	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_ResetResult, TclTransferResult):
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (CallVarTraces):
+	Reworked management of the "errorInfo" data of an interp. That
+	information is now primarily stored in a new private (Tcl_Obj *) field
+	of the Interp struct, rather than using a global variable ::errorInfo
+	as the primary storage. The ERR_IN_PROGRESS flag bit value is no
+	longer required to manage the value in its new location, and is
+	removed. Variable traces are established to support compatibility for
+	any code expecting the ::errorInfo variable to hold the information.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Code that sets traces on the ::errorInfo variable may notice a
+	difference in timing of the firing of those traces. Code that uses the
+	value ERR_IN_PROGRESS.

+	TIP#217 IMPLEMENTATION
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Add -indices option from James

+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclMatchIsTrivial): Detect degenerate cases of
+	glob matching that let us avoid scanning through hash tables.

+
+2004-10-07  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:

+	* tests/winFCmd.test: code reorganization for better generic/platform
+	code splitting [Bug 925620] removing the need for several #ifdef's,
+	and tests and fix for an unreported Windows glob problem ('glob -dir
+	C: -tails *').
+
+2004-10-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* *.3: Convert CONST to const and VOID to void so we document how
+	people should actually use the Tcl API and not the compatability hacks
+	that it has to have.
+
+	* doc/man.macros, *.3: Update .AS macro so it can know how wide to
+	make the third column of the argument list. Update documentation for C
+	API (only users) to take advantage of this.
+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: Formatting fixes for greater documentation
+	clarity.
+
+2004-10-06  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (DoGlob, TclGlob): Stop messy sharing of
+	interpreter result and instead use a private object for collecting the
+	result of the glob. This simplifies TclGlob quite a lot.
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory): Simplify by removing
+	some nesting. Also standardize variable names.
+	(FsAddMountsToGlobResult): Force updates to the list to be done
+	in-place, putting a side-condition of non-shared-ness on the resultPtr
+	argument to Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory, but everything would have broken
+	before if that was shared *anyway*.
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (LoadTableEncoding): Removed reference to Tcl
+	interpreter; it wasn't needed as direct object use is more efficient.
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: Made this file follow the style rules in the
+	Engineering Manual more closely, and also take advantage of the
+	internal object manipulation macros more.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Reorganized to have fewer
+	magic flag variables and to separate the code that scans for a match
+	from the code that processes a match body.

+
+2004-10-06  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_AppendResultVA): Make this work better with

+
+2004-10-05  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+	of the Interp struct, rather than using a global variable ::errorCode
+	as the primary storage. The ERROR_CODE_SET flag bit value is no longer

+
+	* doc/DictObj.3, doc/dict.n: Clarified that a dictionary is not

+	improvements.
+
+2004-10-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (TraceDictPath, Tcl_DictObjPutKeyList): Add
+	support for automatic creation of dictionary paths since that is what
+	everyone seems to actually expect of the API! [Bug 1037235]
+	(Tcl_DictObjNext): Make calling this after Tcl_DictObjDone non-fatal
+	as that simplifies a number of internal APIs. This doesn't break any
+	existing working code as it is a case which previously caused a panic.
+
+2004-10-02  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+
+2004-09-30  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp):
+	* generic/tclInt.h (Interp): Removed the flag bit value
+	EXPR_INITIALIZED. It was set during interp creation and never tested.
+	Whatever purpose it had is in the past.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalObjEx):	Removed the flag bit value
+	* generic/tclInt.h (Interp):	        USE_EVAL_DIRECT. It was used
+	* generic/tcLTest.c (TestevalexObjCmd): only in the testing command
+	* tests/parser.test (parse-9.2):        [testevalex] and nothing in
+	the test suite made use of the capability it enabled.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo): More re-organization
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ErrorObjCmd):	    of the management of

+	* tests/error.test (error-6.4-9):
+
+	* generic/tclNamespace.c (TclTeardownNamespace): Tcl_Obj-ified
+	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-8.5,6):	 the save/restore of
+	::errorInfo and ::errorCode during global namespace teardown. Revised
+	the comment to clarify why this is done, and added tests that will
+	fail if this is not done.
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclTransferResult): Added safety checks so that
+	unexpected undefined ::errorInfo or ::errorCode will not lead to a
+	segfault.
+
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TclCallVarTraces):  Save/restore the flag values
+	* tests/var.test (var-16.1):	          that define part of the

+	Continued refactoring of [clock] for TIP 173 changes. Broke the
+	free-form parser apart so that the Bison parser is responsible for
+	only parsing, while clock.tcl handles relative times like "next
+	Thursday", "next January". This change is needed to make timezones
+	other than :localtime and :Etc/UTC work with free-form scanning. This
+	change closes out the issue identified as being "for another day" in
+	my log message of 2004-09-08. The refactored code also eliminates the
+	last known references to TclpStrftime and TclGetDate, so those
+	routines (including compat/strftime.c) have been removed. The
+	refactoring also has the benefit that all storage in the Bison parser
+	is now on the C stack, eliminating any need for mutex protection
+	around [clock scan]. Also, changed the Makefiles so that 'make
+	gendate' is available on Windows as well as Unix.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Removed some grubby
+	* generic/tclObj.c (SetBooleanFromAny):	 work-around code that was

+

+
+2004-09-23  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Corrections to the 2004-09-21 commit
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	regarding ERR_ALREADY_LOGGED. That commit
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	caused Tk test send-10.7 to fail. Added

+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Reworked management of the interp flag

+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Still left several referebces that are just
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	too nice on performace to do away with.	These
+	changes also resolve an inconsistency in the ::errorInfo values
+	produced by [namespace eval x error foo bar] and [namespace eval x
+	{error foo bar}].
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj):	Simplified the
+	TclCompEvalObj routine. Much housekeeping now reliably happens

+
+2004-09-21  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclUpdateReturnInfo):
+	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_SetErrorCodeVA, Tcl_SetObjErrorCode)

+
+2004-09-17  Kevin B.Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+

+
+2004-09-14  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c (ClockOldscanObjCmd): Silenced a compiler warning
+	(long passed as a param where unsigend long was expected). 'Unsigned
+	long' is wrong, but the fix is really to change the signature of
+	TclGetDate to return a structure of its 'yy' variables and then do the
+	remaining work inside clock.tcl. But, as I said on 2004-09-08, that's
+	a job for another day. [Bug 1027993]

+	return from 'mktime'.
+
+2004-09-11  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+

+
+2004-09-10  David Gravereaux <davyrgvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test: tcltest-12.3-4 needed to have

+
+2004-09-10  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (SetIntOrWideFromAny): Rewritten integral value

+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek): Make sure wide seeks do not fail to set

+
+2004-09-10  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Micro formatting fixes.

+
+2004-09-11  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamespace.c (TclGetNamespaceForQualName): Resolved
+	longstanding inconsistency in the treatment of the TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY
+	flag revealed by testing the 2004-09-09 commits against Itcl.
+	TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY now acts as specified in the pre-function comment,
+	forcing resolution in the passed in context namespace. It has been
+	incorrectly forcing resolution in the interp's current namespace.
+
+2004-09-10  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl: Fixed a bug where %z always put a plus sign on
+	the time zone in :localtime.
+	* tests/clock.test: Added test case for the above bug.
+
+2004-09-10  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CONCAT1): added a peephole optimisation
+	for concatting an empty string. This enables replacing the idiom 'K $x
+	[set x {}]' by '$x[set x {}]' for fastest execution.
+
+2004-09-09  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+

+	WriteConsole for simplicity.
+
+2004-09-09  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_ForgetImport):	Corrected faulty
+
+	* tests/namespace.test: logic that relied exclusively on string
+	matching and failed in the presence of [rename]s. [Bug 560297] Also
+	corrected faulty prevention of [namespace import] cycles. [Bug 1017299]
+
+2004-09-08  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp):	Removed obsolete field
+	for storing the string-based command procedure of built-in commands.
+	We no longer have any string-based built-in commands!
+
+2004-09-08  Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* compat/strftime.c (_conv): Corrected a problem where hour 0 would
+	format as a blank format group with %k.
+	* doc/clock.n: Corrected a buglet in the header information. [Bug
+	1024058]
+	* generic/tclClock.c (TclClockMktimeObjCmd): Fixed a bug where the
+	month was scanned incorrectly in -timezone :localtime.
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-34.*,clock-40.1, clock-41.1): Adjusted the
+	clock-34.* test cases so that the consistency check is performed in
+	:localtime rather than the current time zone. This change allows
+	dealing with issues where the C library has a different idea of DST
+	conversion than Tcl. (Real fix would be to break TclGetDate into
+	separate parser and time converter, and do the time conversion in
+	clock.tcl. That's for another day.) Added regression test case for the
+	bug where month was scanned incorrectly in -timezone :localtime. [Bug
+	1023779] Added regression test case for %k at the zero hour.
+
+2004-09-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: some quoting needed to be removed as it was
+	breaking with VC7. [Bug 1023150]

+2004-09-07  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* doc/clock.n: Documented the default -format, and changed references
+	to a (nonexistent) msgcat command to refer to the msgcat package. [Bug
+	1023870]
+	* generic/tclTimer.c: Removed a premature optimisation that attempted
+	to store the assoc data in the client data; the optimisation caused a
+	bug that [after] would overwrite its imports. [Bug 1016167]
+	* library/clock.tcl (InitTZData, ClearCaches): Changed so that the
+	in-memory time zone :UTC (and its aliases) always gets reinitialised,
+	in case tzdata is absent. [Bug 1019537, 1023779]
+	* library/tzdata/*: Regenerated.
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-31.*, clock-39.1): Corrected a problem where
+	the 'system' locale tests fail on a non-English Windows machine. [Bug
+	1023761]. Added a test to make sure that alias time zones load
+	correctly. [Bug 1023779].
+	* tests/timer.test (timer-1.1, timer-2.1): Changed to (one hopes!) be
+	more resilient on an overloaded system, if [after 200] sleeps for 300
+	ms or longer.
+	* tools/tclZIC.tcl (writeLinks): Corrected a problem where alias time
+	zone names were written incorrectly, causing them to fail to load at
+	run time. [Bug 1023779].
+	* win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_GetTime): Eliminated CPUID tests on Win64 -
+	assuming that HAL vendors now do a better job of keeping the
+	performance counters synchronized among CPU's. [Bug 1020445]

+		Implementation of TIPs #173 and #209.
+
+	The [clock] command is now a Tcl ensemble, with most of its
+	functionality written in Tcl and callouts to C code only to access
+	low-level functions such as localtime, mktime and tzset.
+
+	In addition to the functionality changes called out in the two TIPs,
+	it is worth noting that the [clock] command in a safe slave
+	interpreter is now an alias to the [clock] command in the master, and
+	that [clock] is otherwise not expected to function entirely correctly
+	in safe interps. C code that simply does Tcl_MakeSafe needs to be
+	aware that [clock] may need special handling. (It appears unlikely
+	that such code actually exists.)
+
+	One incompatibility of note is that if the time zone cannot be
+	determined from the TZ, TCL_TZ environment variables, or from the
+	Windows control panel, so that the C library must be used for date and
+	time conversions, then times outside the range of time_t will fail;
+	they used to return bad data silently.
+
+	Many thanks to all the many people who assisted with testing,
+	debugging, criticism of the specification, and localisation. Deserving
+	of particular mention are Joe English, Clif Flynt, Donal K. Fellows,
+	Jeff Hobbs, Cameron Laird, Arjen Markus, Reinhard Max, Christopher
+	Nelson, Steve Offutt, Donald G. Porter, Pascal Scheffers, Peter da
+	Silva and Richard Suchenwirth-Bauersachs.

+
+	* generic/tclIO.c:
+	* generic/tclIO.h:
+	* Not reverting, but #ifdef'ing the changes from May 19, 2004 out of
+	the core. This removes the ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for channel
+	drivers it introduced. This has become possible due to Expect gaining
+	a BlockModeProc and now handling blockingg and non-blocking modes
+	correctly. Thus [SF Tcl Bug 943274] is still fixed if a recent enough
+	version of Expect is used.
+
+	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Added warning about usage of a channel without a
+	BlockModeProc.
+
+2004-07-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@pliers.activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_PutsObjCmd): Added length check to the old

+	<mistachkin@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+2004-07-15  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): stuffed memory leak incurred by
+	re-initializing of TSD slots after the last call to
+	TclFinalizeThreadData (done from within Tcl_FinalizeThread()). We
+	basically just repeat the TclFinalizeThreadData() once more before
+	tearing down TSD keys in TclFinalizeSynchronization(). There should be
+	more elaborate mechanism in place for handling such issues, based on
+	thread cleanup handlers registered on the OS level. Such change
+	requires much more work and would also require TIP because some
+	visible parts of Tcl API would have to be modified. In the meantime,
+	this will do.
+
+	* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): Added conditional
+	notifier finalization based on the fact that an TclInitNotifier has
+	been called for the current thread. This fixes the [Bug 770053] again.
+	Hopefully this time w/o unwanted side-effects.
+
+2004-07-15  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+

+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript):

+	which resurfaced with the latest changes. The previous strategy was to
+	have special code in TclReleaseLiteral to handle the self-references
+	generated by empty scripts. The new approach avoids the self-reference

+2004-07-05  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc): fix for [Bug 983660], found
+	by pspjuth. Tear down the global namespace before freeing the interp
+	handle, to allow the bytecodes to free their non-shared literals.
+	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): moved special code for
+	self-ref so that it is also used for non-shared literals. Possible bug
+	found by inspection.
+
+2004-07-03  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprRoundFunc):
+	* tests/expr-old.test (39.1): added support for wide integers to
+	round(); [Bug 908375], reported by Hemang Lavana.
+
+2004-07-03  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Moved declaration of TclCompEvalObj() from
+	tclCompile.h to the internal stubs table, for compiler
+	experimentation.
+
+2004-07-02  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/regcomp.c (stid): correct minor pointer size error
+
+	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): applied TIP #202 patch that
+	* doc/exec.n, tests/exec.test:		 adds 2>@1 as a special case
+	redirection of stderr to the result output.
+
+2004-07-02  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/io.test: Changed several tests to run the event loop rather
+	than just calling [update] periodically, avoiding intermittent
+	failures (usually in io-29.32) that stemmed from unreaped processes on
+	Windows.
+	* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-1.11): Fixed a bug that caused test to
+	fail if the path name of the working directory contained whitespace
+	[Bug 678430]
+
+2004-07-01  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: Added test for [Bug 970529]
+
+2004-07-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* win/README.binary, win/README: Updated references to Tcl and Tk 8.4
+	to point to 8.5 instead. Thanks to Theo Verelst for spotting this.
+	* generic/tcl.h: Added note to help prevent those changes from getting
+	missed in the future.
+
+	* doc/Namespace.3, doc/load.n, doc/Limit.3: Typo fixes and remove
+	duplicate documentation. [Bug 983146]
+
+2004-06-30  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: Minor correction to new fileSystem-9.X tests
+	so that they clean up temporary directories correctly.
+
+2004-06-30  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/filename.n: clarified behaviour concerning trailing slashes in
+	filenames [Bug 971976]
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: fix and tests for [Bug 979879]
+
+2004-06-30  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	TIP#188 IMPLEMENTATION
+
+	* doc/string.n, tests/string.test:	 Add 'wideinteger' to things
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): that can be tested for with
+	the [string is] subcommand. [Patch 940915, by Kevin Kenny]
+
+2004-06-29  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c:	Corrected reference counting flaw in recent
+	changes. Thanks to Pat Thoyts. [Bug 981893].
+
+2004-06-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: fix to compilation with VC++ 5.2
+
+2004-06-29  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* library/safe.tcl: Make sure that the temporary variable is local to
+	the namespace and not inadvertently global. [Bug 981733]
+
+2004-06-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/unixNotfy.test: Modified constraints so that testing with a
+	threaded tclsh (not tcltest) will not hang.
+
+2004-06-23  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: Corrected type casting errors that led
+	to calculation of a negative index value, thus accesses outside the
+	threadStorageCache array, thus memory corruption. Crash observed on
+	Mac OS X platform.
+
+2004-06-23  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+	* generic/tclThread.c: Implements platform independent thread storage
+	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: mechanism and fixes associated bugs on
+	platforms where there is limited thread local storage space
+	(Win98/WinNT4). [Patch 976496]
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: Added thread storage functions to the
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: internal stubs table.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tcl.m4:
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/rules.vc:
+	* win/Makefile.in: Modified the unix, VC++, and Cygwin build systems
+	* win/configure: to include the new "tclThreadStorage.c" and the new
+	* win/tcl.m4: USE_THREAD_STORAGE define.
+
+2004-06-23  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/io.test: Added -force to 18.1 and 18.2. This was failing on
+	WinXP.
+
+	* tests/winFCmd.test: Added a cleanup to winFCmd-16.11 to avoid a
+	failure in 16.12.
+
+	* tests/eofchar.data: Added -kb option to ensure a binary checkout to
+	win32 systems. This fixes a failure in io-61.1
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: fix for [Bug 977369] about launching tclsh to
+	generate a tclConfig.sh with the nmake build system
+
+2004-06-23  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/winDde.test (createChildProcess): Added a 200-ms delay (with
+	the event loop live) when shutting down the test DDE server process.
+	With the delay in place, nuisance failures of tests winDde-4.2, -6.5,
+	and -6.6 appear to be much less frequent. [Bug 957449]
+
+2004-06-23  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/*.test: Standardize use of platform constraints.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (GetStackSize, TclpCheckStackSpace):
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpThreadGetStackSize): Added code to check
+	whether the C stack is about to be exceeded, from [Patch 746378] by
+	Joe Mistachkin but with substantial revisions.
+
+2004-06-22  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (NewThreadProc): Fixed broken build on Windows
+	caused by missing TCL_THREAD_CREATE_RETURN.
+
+	* tests/stack.test (stack-3.1): Corrected nuisance error in threaded
+	builds.
+
+2004-06-22  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: [Bug 770053]. See bug report for more information
+	about what it does.
+
+	* tests/unixNotfy.test: rewritten to use tcltest::threadReap to
+	gracefully wait for the test thread to exit. Otherwise we got a race
+	condition with main thread exiting before the test thread. This
+	exposed the long-standing Tcl lib issue with resource
+	garbage-collection on application exit.
+
+2004-06-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (DllMain, _except_dllmain_detach_handler)
+	(TclpCheckStackSpace, _except_checkstackspace_handler)
+	(TclWinCPUID, _except_TclWinCPUID_detach_handler):
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel)
+	(_except_makefilechannel_handler):
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, _except_dorenamefile_handler)
+	(DoCopyFile, _except_docopyfile_handler):
+	Rework pushing of exception handler function pointer so that compiling
+	with gcc -O3 works. Remove empty function call to avoid compiler
+	warning. Mark the DllMain function as noinline to avoid compiler error
+	from duplicated asm labels in generated code.
+
+2004-06-21  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (Ptr2Block): Rewrote so as to maximize the
+	chance of detecting and reporting a memory inconsistency without
+	relying on things being consistent. [Bug 975895]
+
+2004-06-18  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/load.test:	Relaxed strictness of error message matching
+	for test load-2.3 so that it will pass on Mac OSX.
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Static TclFindEncodings -> FindEncodings.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Updated TclpFindExecutable() so that failed
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	attempts to find the executable are saved
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:	just as successful finds are. [Patch 966053]
+	* unix/tclUnixTest.c:
+
+2004-06-18  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/winFCmd.test (winFCmd-16.12): Changed test to compute the
+	target directory, so as not to fail if the user's HOME isn't the root.
+
+2004-06-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: autoconf 2.5 fixes in Darwin section.
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57
+
+2004-06-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (localeTable): Added some more locale to encoding
+	mapping info from Jim Huang <jserv@kaffe.org>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (PendingObjData,TclFreeObjMacro,etc):
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclFreeObj): Added scheme for making TclFreeObj()
+	avoid blowing up the C stack when freeing up very large object trees.
+	[Bug 886231]
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (SetDefaultLibraryDir): Fix logic, simplify and add
+	comments.
+
+2004-06-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Added missing space in panic message.
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c:	Inform [tclInit] about the default library
+	directory via the ::tclDefaultLibrary variable. This should correct a
+	problem with my 2004-06-11 commit. Better solutions still in the
+	works. Thanks to Joe Mistachkin for pointing out the breakage.
+
+2004-06-16  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/library.n:	Moved variables ::auto_oldpath and
+	* library/auto.tcl:	::unknown_pending into ::tcl namespace.
+	* library/init.tcl:	[Bugs 808319, 948794]
+
+2004-06-15  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/binary.n: Added some notes to the documentation of the 'a'
+	format to address the point raised in [RFE 768852].
+
+2004-06-15  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclConfig.sh.in (TCL_EXTRA_CFLAGS): set to @CFLAGS@, which is
+	the configure-time CFLAGS. Addendum to m4 change on 2004-05-26.
+
+2004-06-14  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: Corrected compilation flags for tclPkgConfig.c so
+	that it doesn't require Stubs.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Removed comment stating that
+	TclInitEmbeddedConfigurationInformation needs Stubs; with the change
+	above, the comment is now erroneous.
+
+2004-06-11  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/Encoding.3:	Removed bogus claims about tcl_libPath.
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_Init):	Stopped setting the
+	tcl_libPath variable. [tclInit] can get all its directories without it.
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test:	Modified test code that made use of
+	tcl_libPath variable.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	Stopped setting the tclDefaultLibrary variable,
+	execept on the Mac OS X platform with HAVE_CFBUNDLE. In that
+	configuration we should seek some way to make use of the TIP 59
+	facilities and get rid of that usage of tclDefaultLibrary as well.
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Updated [tclInit] to make $env(TCL_LIBRARY) an
+	absolute path, and to include the scriptdir,runtime configuration value
+	on the search path for init.tcl.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	The routines Tcl_Init() and TclSourceRCFile()
+	* win/tclWinInit.c:	had identical implementations for both win and
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	unix. Moved to a single generic implementation.
+	* generic/tclMain.c:
+	* library/init.tcl:
+	* generic/tclInitScript.h (removed):
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* win/tcl.dsp:
+
+	* unix/configure.in:	Updated TCL_PACKAGE_PATH value to handle
+	* win/configure.in:	--libdir configuration.
+
+	* unix/configure.in:	autoconf-2.57
+	* win/configure.in:
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Moved call to
+	TclInitEmbeddedConfigurationInformation() earlier in
+	Tcl_CreateInterp() so that other parts of interp creation and
+	initialization may access and use the config values.
+
+2004-06-11  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c: Restored the 'setargv' procedure when compiling
+	with mingw. Apparently, the command line parsing in mingw doesn't work
+	as well as that in vc++, and the result was (1) that winPipe-8.19
+	failed, and (2) that 'make test' would work at all only with
+	TESTFLAGS='-singleproc 1'. [Bug 967195]
+
+2004-06-10  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed forceful setting of the private cached
+	current working directory rep from within the Tcl_FSChdir(). We
+	delegate this task to the Tcl_FSGetCwd() which does this task anyway.
+	The relevant code is still present but disabled temporarily until the
+	change proves correct. The Tcl test suite passes all test with the
+	given change so I suppose it is good enough.
+
+2004-06-10  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):	Disabled addition of
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):	relative-to-executable
+	directories to the library search path. A first step in reform of
+	Tcl's startup process.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Attempts to directly run ./tclsh or ./tcltest out of a build directory
+	will either fail, or will make use of an installed script library in
+	preference to the one in the source tree. Use `make shell` or `make
+	runtest` instead.
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test:	Modified tests to suit above changes.
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c:	Corrected [file tail] results when operating
+	on a path produced by TclNewFSPathObj(). [Bug 970529]
+
+2004-06-09  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: partially corrected [Bug 932314]. Also
+	corrected return values of Tcl_FSChdir() to reflect those of the
+	underlying platform-specific call. Originally, return codes were mixed
+	with those of Tcl.
+
+2004-06-08  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: handle warning [Bug 969066]
+
+2004-06-08  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (RebuildTable): Move declaration of variable so it

+
+2004-06-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/lsearch.n: Added correct option to example. [Bug 968219]
+
+2004-06-05  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Corrected Tcl_WideInt declarations so that the mingw
+	build works again.
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:			Changes to the tests for clock
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:			frequency in Tcl_WinTime so
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:		that any clock frequency is
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:		accepted provided that all
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:		CPU's in the system share a
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:		common chip, and hence,
+	* tests/platform.test (platform-1.3):	presumably, a common clock.
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclWinCPUID):	This change necessitated a
+	* win/tclWinTest.c (TestwincpuidCmd)	small burst of assembly code
+	* win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_GetTime):	to read CPU ID information,
+	which was added as TclWinCPUID in the internal Stubs. To test this
+	code in the common case of a single-processor machine, a
+	'testwincpuid' command was added to tclWinTest.c, and a test case in
+	platform.test. Thanks to Jeff Godfrey and Richard Suchenwirth for
+	reporting this bug. [Bug 976722]
+
+2004-06-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Restored #include <stdio.h> to tcl.h,
+	rejecting the "fix" for "Bug" 945570. Tcl_FSSeek() needs the values of
+	SEEK_SET, etc. and too many extensions rely on tcl.h providing stdio.h
+	for them.
+
+2004-06-02  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpFindExecutable): when using GetModuleFileNameA
+	(Win9x), convert from CP_ACP to WCHAR then convert back to utf8.
+	Adjunct to 2004-04-07 fix.
+
+2004-06-02  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-6.1): blocking set to 1 before closing
+	to ensure we get an exitcode. The windows pipe channel driver doesn't
+	differentiate between a blocking and non-blocking close just yet, but
+	will soon. Part of [Bug 947693]
+
+2004-06-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/file.n: fix to documentation of 'file volumes' (Bug 962435)
+
+2004-06-01  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: check for either MSDEVDIR or MSVCDIR being in the
+	environment, for VC7. [Bug 942214]
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelOption): -buffersize wasn't
+	understanding hexidecimal notation nor was reporting number conversion
+	errors. The behavior to silently ignore settings outside the
+	acceptable range of Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize (<10 or >1M) is
+	unchanged. This silent ignoring behavior might be up for review soon.
+
+2004-05-30  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:  Reworked the win implementation of Tcl_WaitPid to
+	support exitcodes in the 'signed short' range. Even though this range
+	is non-portable, it is valid on windows. Detection of exception codes
+	are now more accurate. Previously, an application that exited with
+	ExitProcess((DWORD)-1); was improperly reported as exiting with
+	SIGABRT.
+
+2004-05-30  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c: Added comments describing the purposes of each
+	function in the limit implementation and rewrote the names of some
+	non-public functions for greater clarity of purpose.
+	* doc/interp.n: Added note about what happens when a limited
+	interpreter creates a slave interpreter.
+	* doc/Limit.3: Added manual page for the resource limit subsystem's C
+	API. [Bug 953903]
+
+2004-05-29  Joe English	 <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/global.n, doc/interp.n, doc/lrange.n: Fix minor markup errors.
+
+2004-05-28  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/*.n: Added examples to many (too many to list) more man pages.
+
+2004-05-25  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* generic/tclVar.c: using (ptrdiff_t) instead of (int) casting to
+	correct compiler warnings [Bug 961657], reported by Bob Techentin.
+
+2004-05-27  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/clock.test: Added a single test for the presence of %G in
+	[clock format], and conditioned out the clock-10.x series if they're
+	all going to fail because of a broken strftime() call. [Bug 961714]
+
+2004-05-27  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (CompareStringKeys): Added #ifdef to allow people
+	to instruct this function to use strcmp(). [FRQ 951168]
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Moved declarations into #if guards so they only
+	happen when required.
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: Guard declaration of strtod() so it is only
+	enabled when we don't have a declaration in stdlib.h
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread):	Added declarations
+	* unix/tclUnixTest.c (AlarmHandler):		and casts so that
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyModemStatusStr):	all functions are
+	* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd):		defined before use
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (InvalidateDictChain):	and no cross-type
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd):	uses are performed.
+
+	The overall effect is to make building with gcc with the additional
+	flags -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes produce no increase in
+	the total number of warnings (except for main(), which is undeclared
+	for traditional reasons.)
+
+2004-05-26  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:  Rework configure ordering to TCL_LINK_LIBS,
+	* unix/tcl.m4:	     ENABLE_SHARED, CONFIG_CFLAGS, & ENABLE_SYMBOLS
+	* unix/configure:    before TCL_EARLY_FLAGS and TCL_64BIT_FLAGS
+	* unix/configure.in: (about 400 lines earlier) in configure.in. This
+	forces CFLAGS configuration to be done before many tests, which is
+	needed for 64-bit builds and may affect other builds. Also make
+	CONFIG_CFLAGS append to CFLAGS directly instead of using EXTRA_CFLAGS,
+	and have LDFLAGS append to any existing value. [Bug 874058]
+	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: change EXTRA_CFLAGS to DEFS
+
+2004-05-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Correction to debug prints and testing
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:	if TCLTEST_OPTIONS value. Corrected
+	* tests/tcltest.test:		double increment of numTestFiles in
+	-singleproc 1 configurations. Updated tcltest-19.1 to tcltest 2.1
+	behavior. Corrected tcltest-25.3 to not falsely report a failure in
+	tcltest.test. Bumped to tcltest 2.2.6. [Bugs 960560, 960926]
+
+2004-05-25  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* doc/http.n (http::config): add -urlencoding option (default utf-8)
+	* library/http/http.tcl:     that specifies encoding conversion of
+	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: args for http::formatQuery. Previously
+	* tests/http.test:	     undefined, RFC 2718 says it should be
+	utf-8. 'http::config -urlencoding {}' returns previous behavior, which
+	will throw errors processing non-latin-1 chars. Bumped http package to
+	2.5.0.
+
+2004-05-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (DeleteScriptLimitCallback): Move all deletion
+	of script callback hash table entries to happen here so the entries
+	are correctly removed at the right time. [Bug 960410]
+
+2004-05-25  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* docs/global.n: added details for qualified variable names [Bug
+	959831]
+
+2004-05-25  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindNamespaceVar):
+	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-17.10-12): reverted commit of
+	2004-05-23 and removed the tests, as it interferes with the varname
+	resolver and there are apps that break (AlphaTk). A fix will have to
+	wait for Tcl9.
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Caching of namespace variables disabled: no simple
+	way was found to avoid interfering with the resolver's idea of
+	variable existence. A cached varName may keep a variable's name in the
+	namespace's hash table, which is the resolver's criterion for
+	existence.
+
+	* tests/namespace.c (namespace-17.10): testing for interference
+	between varname caching and name resolver.
+
+2004-05-25  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/winFCmd.test: Correct test for the presence of a CD-ROM so
+	that it doesn't misdetect some other sort of filesystem with a
+	write-protected root as being a CD-ROM drive. [Bug 918267]
+
+2004-05-25  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/winPipe.test:	Protect against path being set
+	* tests/unixInit.test:	Unset path when done.
+	* tests/unload.test (unload-3.1): Verify [pkgb_sub] does not exist.
+	Delete interps when done.
+	* tests/stringComp.test:	stop re-use of string.test test names
+	* tests/regexpComp.test:	stop re-use of regexp.test test names
+	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-46.3): Verify [p] does not exist.
+	* tests/http.test:	Clear away the custom [bgerror] when done.
+	* tests/io.test:	Take care to use namespace variables.
+	* tests/autoMkindex.test (autoMkindex-5.2): Use variable "result"
+	that gets cleaned up.
+	* tests/exec.test:	Clean up the "path" array.
+	* tests/interp.test (interp-9.3): Initialize res, so prior values
+	cannot make the test fail.
+	* tests/execute.test (execute-8.1):  Updated to remove the trace set
+	on ::errorInfo. When left in place, that trace can cause later tests
+	to fail.
+
+2004-05-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Removed references to Tcl_RenameCommand from
+	* generic/tcl.h:      comments. [Bug 848440, second part]
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test: Rewrote tests that failed consistently on NFS so
+	they either succeed (through slightly more liberal matching of the
+	results) or are constrained to not run. [Bug 931312]
+
+	* doc/bgerror.n: Use idiomatic open flags for working with log
+	files. [Bug 959602]
+
+2004-05-24  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (VerifyExprObjType): use GET_WIDE_OR_INT to
+	properly have tclIntType used for smaller values. This corrects [TclX
+	Bug 896727] and any other 3rd party extension that created math
+	functions but was not yet WIDE_INT aware in them.
+
+2004-05-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (TclInitLimitSupport): Made limits work on
+	platforms where sizeof(void*)!=sizeof(int). [Bug 959193]
+
+2004-05-24 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/set.n: accurate description of name resolution process,
+	referring to namespace.n for details [Bug 959180]
+
+2004-05-23  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindNamespaceVar): [Bug 959052] fixed,
+	insuring that no "zombie" variables are found.
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupSimpleVar): comments re [Bug 736729]
+	(predecessor of [Bug 959052]) removed.
+	* tests/namespace.test: added tests 17.10-12
+
+	The patch modifies non-documented behaviour, and passes every test in
+	the testsuite. However, scripts relying on the old behaviour may
+	break.
+	Note that the only behaviour change concerns the creative writing of
+	unset variables. More precisely, which variable will be created when
+	neither a namespace variable nor a global variable by that name
+	exists, as defined by [info vars]. The new behaviour is that the
+	namespace resolution process deems a variable to exist exactly when
+	[info vars] finds it - ie, either it has value, or else it was "fixed"
+	by a call to [variable].
+	Note: this patch was removed on 2002-05-25.
+
+2004-05-22  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclObjLookupVar, TclObjUnsetVar2): fix for new (in
+	tcl8.4) exteriorisations of [Bug 736729] due to the use of
+	tclNsVarNameType obj types. Reenabling the use of this objType ("VAR
+	ref absolute" benchmark down to 66 ms, from 230). Added comments in
+	TclLookupSimpleVar explaining my current understanding of [Bug
+	736729].
+
+2004-05-22  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: fix for [Bug 735335]. The use of tclNsVarNameType
+	objs is still disabled, pending resolution of [Bug 736729].
+
+2004-05-21  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-41.3): removed the {knownBug}
+	constraint: [Bug 231259] is closed since nov 2001, and the fix of [Bug
+	729692] (INST_START_CMD) makes the test succeed.
+
+2004-05-21  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Move a few declarations a
+	short distance so pre-C99 compilers can cope. Also fix so
+	TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG path compiles...
+
+2004-05-21  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): reorganised TEBC
+	automatic variables, defining them in tight blocks instead of at the
+	function level. This has three purposes:
+	- it simplifies the analysis of individual instructions
+	- it is preliminary work to the non-recursive engine
+	- it allows a better register allocation by the optimiser; under
+	gcc3.3, this results in up to 10% runtime in some tests
+
+2004-05-20  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (TclLimitRemoveAllHandlers):
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc):
+	* tests/interp.test (interp-34.7): Ensure that all limit callbacks are
+	deleted when their interpreters are deleted. [Bug 956083]
+
+2004-05-19  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): fix for an issue where
+	there was a sneak path from Tcl_DStringFree to SetErrorCode(0). The
+	result was that the error code could be reset between a call to
+	FindFirstFileEx and the check of its status return, leading to a
+	bizarre error return of {POSIX unknown {No error}}. (Found in
+	unplanned test - no incident logged at SourceForge.)
+
+2004-05-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/interp.test (interp-34.3): Rewrite this test to see if a time
+	limit can catch a tight bytecode loop, a maximally aggressive
+	denial-of-service attack.
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_LimitCheck): Fix the sense of checks to see
+	whether a time limit has been extended.
+
+	* tests/*.test: Many minor fixes, including ensuring that every test
+	is run (so constraints control whether the test is doing anything) and
+	making sure that constraints are always set using the API instead of
+	poking around inside tcltest's internal datastructures. Also got rid
+	of all trailing whitespace lines from the test suite!
+
+2004-05-19  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c: Fixed [SF Tcl Bug 943274]. This is the same problem
+	* generic/tclIO.h: as [SF Tcl Bug 462317], see ChangeLog entry
+	2001-09-26. The fix done at that time is incomplete. It is possible to
+	get around it if the actual read operation is defered and not executed
+	in the event handler itself. Instead of tracking if we are in an read
+	caused by a synthesized fileevent we now track if the OS has delivered
+	a true event = actual data and bypass the driver if a read finds that
+	there is no actual data waiting. The flag is cleared by a short or
+	full read.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for channel drivers.
+
+2004-05-17  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to (Bug 956063) in 'file dirname'.
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: added test for this bug.
+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: better documentation of refCount requirements of
+	some FS functions (Bug 956126)
+
+2004-05-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c (TestgetintCmd): Made the tests in get.test check
+	* tests/get.test:		     Tcl_GetInt() since the core now
+					     avoids that function.
+
+2004-05-18  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* compat/strftime.c (_fmt, ISO8601Week):
+	* doc/clock.n:
+	* tests/clock.test: Major rework to the handling of ISO8601 week
+	numbers. Now passes all the %G and %V test cases on Windows, Linux and
+	Solaris [Bugs 500285, 500389, and 852944]
+
+2004-05-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/append.n, doc/upvar.n: Added example.
+
+2004-05-18  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: now generates a tclConfig.sh from Pat Thoyts [Patch
+	909911]
+
+2004-05-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/lsearch.n: Improve clarity (based on [Patch 955361] by Peter
+	Spjuth)
+
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl (macro,SHmacro): Added support for subsection
+	(.SS) header macros.
+
+	* doc/interp.n: Added user documentation for the TIP#143 resource
+	limits and some examples.
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_LimitCheck, Tcl_LimitTypeReset): Reset the
+	limit-exceeded flag when removing a limit.
+
+2004-05-18  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): added comments to
+	classify the variables according to their use in TEBC.
+
+2004-05-17  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/global.n, doc/uplevel.n: Added an example.
+
+	* tests/info.test (info-3.1): Corrected test result back to what it
+	used to be in Tcl 7.* now that command counts are being correctly kept
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC:INST_START_CMD): Make sure that the
+	command-count is always advanced. Allows TIP#143 limits to tell that
+	work is being done.
+
+	* doc/list.n: Updated example to fit with the unified format.
+	* doc/seek.n: Added some examples.
+
+2004-05-17  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: fix to (Bug 954263) where 'file executable' was
+	case-sensitive.
+
+2004-05-17  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Documented type of 'offset' argument to Tcl_Seek
+	was wrong. [Bug 953374]
+
+2004-05-16  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): remove one level of
+	indirection for compiledLocals addressing.
+
+2004-05-16  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CALL_FUNC1): bugfix; restored
+	(DE)CACHE_STACK_INFO pair around the call - the user defined math
+	function could cause a recursive call to TEBC.
+
+2004-05-16  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteInterp):
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_START_CMD): interp deletion now modifies
+	the compileEpoch, eliminating the need for the check for interp
+	deletion in INST_START_CMD.
+
+2004-05-16  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: changed implementation of {expand}, last
+	chance while in alpha as ...
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Scripts precompiled with ProComp under previous tcl8.5a versions may
+	malfunction due to changed instruction numbers for
+	INST_LIST_INDEX_IMM, INST_LIST_RANGE_IMM and INST_START_CMD.
+
+2004-05-14  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:	     Promoted TclpLocaltime and TclpGmtime
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:     from Unix-specific stubs to the generic
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: internal Stubs table. Reran 'genstubs'
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c: Changed a buggy 'GMT' timezone specification
+			      to the correct 'GMT0'. [Bug 922848]
+
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Moved TclpGmtime and TclpLocaltime to
+			      unix/tclUnixTime.c where they belong.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (TclpGmtime, TclpLocaltime, TclpGetTimeZone,
+			      ThreadSafeGMTime [removed],
+			      ThreadSafeLocalTime [removed],
+			      SetTZIfNecessary, CleanupMemory):
+	Restructured to make sure that the same mutex protects all calls to
+	localtime, gmtime, and tzset. Added a check in front of those calls to
+	make sure that the TZ env var hasn't changed since the last call to
+	tzset, and repeat tzset if necessary. [Bug 942078] Removed a buggy
+	test of the Daylight Saving Time information in 'gettimeofday' in
+	favor of applying 'localtime' to a known value. [Bug 922848]
+
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-3.14): Added test to make sure that changes
+	to $env(TZ) take effect immediately.
+
+	* win/tclWinTime.c (TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime): Added porting layer
+	for 'localtime' and 'gmtime' calls.
+
+2004-05-14  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: the math functions receive a pointer to top of
+	the stack (tosPtr) instead of the execution environment (eePtr). First
+	step towards a change in the execution stack management - it is now
+	only used within TEBC.

+
+	TIP#143 IMPLEMENTATION

+	* tests/binary.test:	failures now due to alterations in constraints.
+
+2004-05-12  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	Optimisations for INST_START_CMD [Bug 926164].
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): avoid emitting
+	INST_START_CMD as the first instruction in a bytecoded Tcl_Obj. It is
+	not needed, as the checks are done before calling TEBC.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peephole
+	optimisation: check at INST_POP if the next instruction is
+	INST_START_CMD, in which case we fall through.
+
+2004-05-11  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+
+2004-05-11  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+2004-05-10  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/scan.n: Added examples.
+
+2004-05-10  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Moved non-obvious appending
+	logic to outside the loop and added commentary for its purpose. Also
+	use the existence of contents in the linePtr rather than the scratch
+	DString post the append, as this more clear.
+
+	(TclpCreateProcess): When under NT, with no console, and executing a
+	DOS application, the path priming does not need an ending space as
+	BuildCommandLine() will do this for us.
+
+2004-05-08  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2004-05-07  Chengye Mao <chengye.geo@yahoo.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c: refixed bug 789040 re-entered in rev 1.41. Let's

+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c:

+
+2004-05-06  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclFreeObj): made TclFreeObj use the new macro
+	TclFreeObjMacro(), so that the allocation and freeing of Tcl_Obj is
+	defined in a single spot (the macros in tclInt.h), with the exception
+	of the TCL_MEM_DEBUG case.
+	The #ifdef logic for the corresponding macros has been reformulated to

+
+2004-05-05  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c (SocketEventProc) : connect errors should fire both
+	the readable and writable handlers because this is how it works on
+	UNIX [Bug 794839]
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclFinalizeEncodingSubsystem):
+	FreeEncoding(systemEncoding); moved to before the hash table iteration
+	as it was causing a double free attempt under some conditions.
+
+	* win/coffbase.txt: Added the tls extension to the list of preferred

+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: Added a temporary (or so I hope!)
+	inclusion of "tclWinInt.h" to avoid problems when compiling on
+	Win32-VC++ with --enable-threads. [Bug 945447]
+
+2004-04-30  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+	* doc/puts.n: Added a few examples.

+	* tests/execute.test (execute-8.2):	Avoid crashes when there is
+	limited system stack space (threads-enabled).

+
+2004-04-28  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+	* doc/lsearch.n: Fixed fault in documentation of -index option [943448]
+
+2004-04-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TclpObjNormalizePath):  Corrected improper
+	positioning of returned checkpoint. [Bug 941108]
+
+2004-04-26  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/open.n, doc/close.n: Updated (thanks to David Welton) to be
+	clearer about pipeline errors and added example to open(n) that shows
+	simple pipeline use. [Patches 941377,941380]
+
+	* doc/DictObj.3: Added warning about the use of Tcl_DictObjDone and an
+	example of use of iteration. [Bug 940843]
+
+	* doc/Thread.3: Reworked to remove references to testing interfaces
+	and instead promote the use of the Thread package. [Patch 932527]
+	Also reworked and reordered the page for better readability.

+2004-04-25  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Removed obsolete declarations and #include's.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	[Bugs 926459, 926486]
+
+2004-04-24  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (DllMain): Added DisableThreadLibraryCalls() for
+	the DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH case. We're not interested in knowing about
+	DLL_THREAD_ATTACH, so disable the notices.
+
+2004-04-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPort.h:
+	* macosx/Makefile:
+	* unix/Makefile.in: followup on tcl header reform [FR 922727]: removed
+	use of relative #include paths in tclPort.h to allow installation of
+	private headers outside of tcl source tree; added 'unix' dir to
+	compiler header search path; add newly required tcl private headers to
+	Tcl.framework on Mac OSX.
+
+2004-04-23  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelOption): Fixed [SF Tcl Bug 930851].
+	When changing the eofchar we have to zap the related flags to prevent
+	them from prematurely aborting the next read.
+
+2004-04-25  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 940281]. Tcl_FSJoinPath will now
+	always return a valid Tcl_Obj when the input is valid.
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to [Bug 931823] for a more consistent
+	Tcl_FSPathSeparator() implementation which allows filesystems not to
+	implement their Tcl_FSFilesystemSeparatorProc if they wish to use the
+	default '/'. Also fixed associated memory leak seen with, e.g., tclvfs
+	package.
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: documented Tcl_FSJoinPath return values more
+	clearly, and Tcl_FSFilesystemSeparatorProc requirements.
+
+2004-04-23  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Removed my mistake from 4/19 of adding an exit
+	handler to TclWinInit. TclWinEncodingsCleanup called from
+	TclFinalizeFilesystem does the Tcl_FreeEncoding for us.
+
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel): Case for CloseHandle
+	returning zero and not throwing a
+	RaiseException(EXCEPTION_INVALID_HANDLE) now being done.
+
+2004-04-22  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c: TclSetLibraryPath's use of caching the stringrep
+	of the pathPtr object to TclGetLibraryPath called from another thread
+	was ineffective if the original's stringrep had been invalidated as
+	what happens when it gets muted to a list.
+
+	* win/tclWinTime.c: If the Tcl_ExitProc (StopCalibration) is called
+	from the stack frame of DllMain's PROCESS_DETACH, the wait operation
+	should timeout and continue.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclThread.c:
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Provisions made so masterLock, initLock, allocLock
+	and joinLock mutexes can be recovered during Tcl_Finalize.

+
+	* doc/switch.n: Reworked the examples to be more systematically named
+	and to cover some TIP#75 capabilities.
+

+
+	* doc/exec.n: Added some examples, Windows ones from Arjen Markus and
+	Unix ones by myself.
+
+2004-04-21  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/Hash.3: Added note to Tcl_{First,Next}HashEntry docs that
+	deleting the element they return is supported (and is in fact the only
+	safe update you can do to the structure of a hashtable while an
+	iteration is going over it.)
+
+	* doc/bgerror.n: Added example from David Welton. [Patch 939473]
+
+	* doc/after.n: Added examples from David Welton. [Patch 938820]
+
+2004-04-19  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Added an exit handler in TclWinInit() so
+	tclWinTCharEncoding could be freed during Tcl_Finalize().
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Added FreeEncoding(systemEncoding) in
+	TclFinalizeEncodingSubsystem because its ref count was incremented in
+	TclInitEncodingSubsystem.
+
+2004-04-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/read.n: Added example from David Welton. [Patch 938056]
+
+2004-04-19  Kevin B. Kenny   <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetDoubleFromObj) Corrected "short circuit"
+	conversion of int to double. Reported by Jeff Hobbs on the Tcl'ers
+	Chat.
+
+2004-04-16  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/lreplace.n, doc/lrange.n, doc/llength.n:	More examples for

+
+2004-04-16  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: Corrected documentation of Tcl_FSUtime, and the
+	corresponding filesystem driver Tcl_FSUtimeProc. [Bug 935838]
+
+2004-04-16  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/socket.n: Added example from [Patch 936245].

+
+2004-04-15  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c (Tcl_ClockObjCmd): Minor fault in a [clock
+	clicks] error message.
+
+2004-04-07  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): note that WIN32_CE is
+	also a unicode platform.
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclFindEncodings, Tcl_FindExecutable):
+	* generic/tclInt.h:			    Correct handling of UTF
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): data that is actually
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpFindExecutable):    "clean", allowing the
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):   loading of Tcl from paths
+	that contain multi-byte chars on Windows [Bug 920667]
+
+	* win/configure:    define TCL_LIB_FLAG, TCL_BUILD_LIB_SPEC,
+	* win/configure.in: TCL_LIB_SPEC, TCL_PACKAGE_PATH in tclConfig.sh.
+
+2004-04-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	Patch 922727 committed.	 Implements three changes:
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Reworked the Tcl header files into a clean
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:	hierarchy where tcl.h < tclPort.h < tclInt.h
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:	and every C source file should #include
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:	at most one of those files to satisfy its
+	declaration needs. tclWinInt.h and tclWinPort.h also better organized
+	so that tclWinPort.h includes the Windows implementation of
+	cross-platform declarations, while tclWinInt.h makes declarations that
+	are available on Windows only.
+
+	* generic/tclBinary.c (TCL_NO_MATH):	Deleted the generic/tclMath.h
+	* generic/tclMath.h (removed):		header file. The internal Tcl
+	* macosx/Makefile (PRIVATE_HEADERS):	header, tclInt.h, has a
+	* win/tcl.dsp:				#include <math.h> directly,
+	and file external to Tcl needing libm should do the same.
+
+	* win/Makefile.in (WIN_OBJS):	Deleted the win/tclWinMtherr.c file.
+	* win/makefile.bc (TCLOBJS):	It's a vestige from matherr() days
+	* win/makefile.vc (TCLOBJS):	gone by.
+	* win/tcl.dsp:
+	* win/tclWinMtherr.c (removed):
+
+	End Patch 922727.
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-3.1):	Default encoding on Darwin
+	systems is utf-8. Thanks to Steven Abner (tauvan). [Bug 928808]
+
+2004-04-06  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-18.2): Added constraint because
+	access(...,X_OK) is defined to be permitted to be meaningless when
+	running as root, and OSX exhibits this. [Bug 929892]
+
+2004-04-02  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: removed the macro TCL_ALIGN() from tclInt.h,
+	replaced by the static macro ALIGN() in tclCompile.c [Bug 926445]
+
+2004-04-02  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: removed redundant #ifdef _TCLINT [Bug 928415],
+	reported by tauvan.
+
+2004-04-02  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test: Corrected constraint typos: "nonRoot" ->
+	"notRoot". Thanks to Steven Abner (tauvan). [Bug 928353]
+
+2004-04-01  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:  Removed obsolete tclBlockTime* declarations. [Bug
+	926454]
+
+2004-04-01  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: Fix to privately reported vfs bug with 'glob
+	-type d -dir . *' across a vfs boundary. No tests for this are
+	currently possible without effectively moving tclvfs into Tcl's test
+	suite.
+
+2004-03-31  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/msgcat.n:	Clarified message catalog file encodings. [Bug 811457]
+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: Updated internals to make use of [dict]s
+	to store message catalog data and to use [source -encoding utf-8] to
+	access catalog files. Thanks to Michael Sclenker. [Patch 875055, RFE
+	811459] Corrected [mcset] to be able to successfully set a translation
+	to the empty string. [mcset $loc $src {}] was incorrectly set the $loc
+	translation of $src back to $src. Also changed [ConvertLocale] to
+	minimally require a non-empty "language" part in the locale value. If
+	not, an error raised prompts [Init] to keep looking for a valid locale
+	value, or ultimately fall back on the "C" locale. [Bug 811461].
+	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:	Bump to msgcat 1.4.1.
+
+2004-03-30  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey): Cleaned up. This function is not
+	faster, but it is a little bit clearer.
+	* generic/tclLiteral.c (HashString): Applied logic from HashObjKey.
+	* generic/tclObj.c (HashObjKey): Rewrote to fix fault which hashed
+	every single-character object to the same hash bucket. The new code is
+	shorter, simpler, clearer, and (happily) faster.
+
+2004-03-30  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): reverting to the previous method for
+	async tests in TEBC, as the new method turned out to be too costly.
+	Async tests now run every 64 instructions.
+
+2004-03-30  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:	    New instruction code INST_START_CMD that
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:	    allows checking the bytecode's validity
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	    [Bug 729692] and the interp's readyness
+	* tests/interp.test (18.9): [Bug 495830] before running the command.
+	* tests/proc.test (7.1):    It also changes the mechanics of the async
+	* tests/rename.test (6.1):  tests in TEBC, doing it now at command
+	start instead of every 16 instructions.
+
+2004-03-30  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c:  Fix to Windows glob where the pattern is a
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:	  volume relative path or a network share [Bug
+	* tests/fileName.test:	  898238]. On windows 'glob' will now return
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:  the results of 'glob /foo/bar' and 'glob
+	\\foo\\bar' as 'C:/foo/bar', i.e. a correct absolute path (rather than
+	a volume relative path).
+
+	Note that the test suite does not test commands like
+	'glob //Machine/Shared/*' (on a network share).
+
+2004-03-30  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c:	  Fix to filename bugs recently
+	* tests/fileName.test:	  introduced [Bug 918320].
+
+2004-03-29  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main, StdinProc):	Append newline only
+	* tests/basic.test (basic-46.1):		to incomplete scripts
+	as part of multi-line script construction. Do not add an extra
+	trailing newline to the complete script. [Bug 833150]
+
+2004-03-28  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): corrected possible segfault
+	when a compilation returns TCL_OUTLINE_COMPILE after having grown the
+	compile environment [Bug 925121].
+
+2004-03-27  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/array.n: added documentation for trace-realted behaviour of
+	'array get' [Bug 449893]
+
+2004-03-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c:	  Fix to Windows-only volume relative path
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:  normalization. [Bug 923568]. Also fixed
+	another volume relative bug found while testing.
+
+2004-03-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NsEnsembleImplementationCmd): Fix messed up
+	handling of strncmp result which just happened to work in some libc
+	implementations. [Bug 922752]
+
+2004-03-23  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+

+
+2004-03-18  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: Removed TclpTime_t. It wasn't really needed,

+2004-03-17  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/lsearch.n: Improved examples on the advanced capabilities of
+	lsearch (with the right options, set element removal can be done)
+	following discussion on tkchat.
+
+2004-03-16  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/catch.n:	Compiled [catch] no longer fails to catch syntax
+	errors. Removed the claims in the documentation that it does.
+	* doc/return.n:	Updated example to use [dict merge].
+
+2004-03-16  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/configure, unix/tcl.m4: add -Wno-strict-aliasing for GCC to
+	suppress useless type puning warnings.
+
+2004-03-16  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/file.n: *roff formatting fix. [Bug 917171]
+
+2004-03-15  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinNotify.c: Fixed a mistake where the return value of
+	MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx for "a message is in the queue" wasn't
+	accurate. I removed the check on the case result==(WAIT_OBJECT_0 + 1)
+	This was having the error of falling into GetMessage and waiting there
+	by accident, which wasn't alertable through Tcl_AlertNotifier. I'll do
+	some more study on this and try to find-out why.
+
+2004-03-12  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#163
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictMergeCmd):	This is based on work by Joe
+	* tests/dict.test (dict-20.*):		English in Tcl [FRQ 745851]
+	* doc/dict.n:				but not exactly.
+
+2004-03-10  Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclGetDate.y (TclGetDate): Fix so that [clock scan
+	<timeOfDay> -gmt true] uses the GMT base date instead of the local
+	one. [Bug 913513]
+	* tests/clock.test: Added test cases for wrong ISO8601 week number
+	[Bug 500285] and wrong GMT base date [Bug 913513]. Several tests still
+	fail on Windows, and these are actual faults in [clock scan]. Fix is
+	still pending.
+	* generic/tclDate.c: Regenerated.
+
+2004-03-08  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c:  Fix to 'glob -path' near the root
+	* tests/fileName.test:	  of the filesystem. [Bug 910525]
+
+2004-03-08  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (TclParseInit):	Modified TclParseInit so
+	* generic/tclTest.c ([testexprparser]): that Tcl_Parse initialization
+	conforms to documented promised about what fields will not be
+	modified by what Tcl_Parse* routines. [Bug 910595]
+
+2004-03-05  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Check for define of MWMO_ALERTABLE in winuser.h.
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: If MWMO_ALERTABLE is not defined in winuser.h then
+	define it. This is needed for Mingw.
+
+2004-03-05  Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c: Modified TesteventObjCmd to use a
+	Tcl_QueuePosition in place of an 'int' for the enumerated queue
+	position, to avoid a compiler warning on SGI. [Bug 771960]
+
+2004-03-05  Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/registry.test: Applied fix from [Patch 910174] to make the test
+	for an English-language system include any country code, rather than
+	just English-United States.1252. Thanks to Pat Thoyts for the changes.
+
+2004-03-04  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/registry.test: Applied fixed from [Bug 766159] to skip two
+	tests on Win98 that depend on a Unicode registry (NT specific).
+
+2004-03-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclParseInit):	Factored the common code
+	* generic/tclParse.c (TclParseInit):	for initializing a Tcl_Parse
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:		struct into one routine.
+
+2004-03-04  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl:  Added TIP #100 support to the
+	* win/tclWinReg.c:	     registry package [patch 903831]
+	This provides a Windows test of the TIP #100 mechanism and a sample to
+	show how unloading an extension can be done.
+
+2004-03-04  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/dltest/pkgua.c: Fix minor syntax problems. [Bug 909288]
+
+2004-03-03  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	*** 8.5a1 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+	* changes: updated for 8.5a1
+
+2004-03-03  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: default environment variable for VC++ is %MSDevDir%
+	not %MSVCDir%, although vcvars32.bat sets both.
+
+	* win/tclWinNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent) : Allows an idling notifier to
+	service "Asynchronous Procedure Calls" from its wait state. Only
+	useful for extension authors who decide they might want to try
+	"completion routines" with WriteFileEx(), as an example. From
+	experience, I recommend that "completion ports" should be used instead
+	as the execution of the callbacks are more managable.
+
+2004-03-01  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* README:	    update patchlevel to 8.5a1
+	* generic/tcl.h:

+
+2004-03-01  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS):	Allow 64-bit enabling on
+	IRIX64-6.5* systems. [Bug 218561]
+	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.57
+
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TclCheckInterpTraces):	The TIP 62
+	* generic/tclTest.c (TestcmdtraceCmd):	implementation introduced a
+	* tests/trace.test (trace-29.10):	bug by testing the CallFrame
+	level instead of the iPtr->numLevels level when deciding what traces
+	created by Tcl_Create(Obj)Trace to call. Added test to expose the
+	error, and made fix. [FRQ 462580]
+
+2004-02-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: fix to Tcl Bug 905163.
+	* tests/fileName.test: fix to Tcl Bug 904705.
+
+	* doc/{various}.n: removed 'the the' typos.
+
+2004-02-26  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Makefile: fixed copyright year in Tcl.framework Info.plist
+
+2004-02-25  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/basic.test:	Made several tests more robust to the
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test:	list-quoting of path names that might contain
+	* tests/exec.test:	Tcl-special chars like { or [. Should help us
+	* tests/io.test:	sort out [Bug 554068]
+	* tests/pid.test:

+
+2004-02-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclLoad.c (Tcl_LoadObjCmd): Missing dereference caused
+	segfault with non-loadable extension. [Bug 904307]
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Stop memory leak with very
+	long hostnames. [Bug 888777]
+
+2004-02-25  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinDde.c: Removed some gcc warnings - except for the
+	-Wconversion warning for GetGlobalAtomName. gcc is just wrong about
+	this.
+
+2004-02-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#100 FROM GEORGIOS PETASIS
+	* generic/tclLoad.c (Tcl_UnloadObjCmd): Implementation.
+	* tests/unload.test:			Test suite.
+	* unix/dltest/pkgua.c:			Helper for test suite.
+	* doc/unload.n:				Documentation.
+	Also assorted changes (mostly small) to several other files.
+
+2004-02-23  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/regc_locale.c (cclass): Buffer was having its size reset
+	instead of being released => memleak. [Bug 902562]
+
+2004-02-21  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclLoad.c (Tcl_LoadObjCmd): Fixed memory leak due to an
+	improper error exit route.
+
+2004-02-20  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c (SocketThreadExitHandler): Don't call
+	TerminateThread when WaitForSingleObject returns a timeout.
+	Tcl_Finalize called from DllMain will pause all threads. Trust that
+	the thread will get the close notice at a later time if it does ever
+	wake up before being cleaned up by the system anyway.
+
+2004-02-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Changed -verbose default value to
+	{body error} so that detailed information on unexpected errors in
+	tests is provided by default, even after the fix for [Bug 725253]
+
+2004-02-17  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-7.1):
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): ensure the std fds exist to
+	prevent crash condition [Bug 772288]
+
+2004-02-17  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Bozo mistake in memory
+	releasing order when in an error case. [Bug 898910]
+
+2004-02-16  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TclTraceExecutionObjCmd)
+	(TclTraceCommandObjCmd): fix possible mem leak in trace info.
+
+2004-02-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (AppendEnvironment): Use the tail component of the
+	passed in lib path instead of just blindly using lib+4. That worked
+	when lib was "lib/..." but fails for other values. Thanks go to
+	Patrick Samson for pointing this out.
+
+2004-02-10  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/nmakehlp.c: better macro grepping logic.
+
+2004-02-07  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/rules.vc:
+	* win/tcl.rc:
+	* win/tclsh.rc: Added an 'unchecked' option to the OPTS macro so a
+	core built with symbols can be linked to the non-debug enabled C
+	run-time. As per discussion with Kevin Kenny. Called like this:
+
+		nmake -af makefile.vc OPTS=unchecked,symbols
+
+	This clarifies the meaning of the 'g' naming suffix to mean only that
+	the binary requires the debug enabled C run-time. Whether the binary
+	contains symbols or not is a different condition.
+
+2004-02-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/clock.n:	Removed reference to non-existent [file ctime].
+
+2004-02-05  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* docs/tclvars.n: Added clarification of the tcl_platform(debug) var
+	that it only refers to the flavor of the C run-time, and not whether
+	the core contains symbols.
+
+2004-02-05  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (SkipToChar): Corrected CONST and type-casting
+	issues that caused compiler warnings.
+
+2004-02-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (StoreStatData): Removed improper refcount
+	decrement of the varName parameter. This error was causing segfaults
+	following test cmdAH-28.7.
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Corrected references to non-existent
+	$name variable in [cleanupTests]. [Bug 833637]
+
+2004-02-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Corrected parsing of single command
+	line argument (option with missing value) [Bug 833910]
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:	Bump to version 2.2.5.
+
+2004-02-02  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Ungets): Fixes improper filling of the channel
+	buffer. This is the buffer before the splice. [Bug 405995]
+
+2004-02-01  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tests/winPipe.test: more pass-thru commandline verifications.
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Special case quoting for '{'
+	not required by the c-runtimes's parse_cmdline().
+	* win/tclAppInit.c: Removed our custom setargv() in favor of the work
+	provided by the c-runtime. [Bug 672938]
+
+	* win/nmakehlp.c: defensive techniques to avoid static buffer
+	overflows and a couple envars upsetting invokations of cl.exe and
+	link.exe. [Bug 885537]
+
+	* tests/winPipe.test: Added proof that BuildCommandLine() is not doing
+	the "N backslashes followed a quote -> insert N * 2 + 1 backslashes
+	then a quote" rule needed for the crt's parse_cmdline().
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Fixed BuildCommandLine() to pass the new cases.
+
+2004-01-30  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: Use the -GZ compiler switch when building for
+	symbols. This is supposed to emulate the release build better to avoid
+	hiding problems that only show themselves in a release build.
+
+2004-01-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 883143] in file normalization
+
+2004-01-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/file.n:
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c
+	* generic/tclTest.c
+	* library/init.tcl
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: fix to [Bug 886352] where 'file copy -force'
+	had inconsistent behaviour wrt target files with insufficient
+	permissions, particular from vfs->native fs. Behaviour of '-force' is
+	now always consistent (and now consistent with behaviour of 'file
+	delete -force'). Added new tests and documentation and cleaned up the
+	'simplefs' test filesystem.
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: made native filesystems more robust to C code
+	which asks for mount lists.
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 886607] removing warning/error
+	with some compilers.
+
+2004-01-28  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (SetBooleanFromAny): Rewrite to do more efficient
+	string->bool conversion.
+	Many other minor whitespace/style fixes to this file too.
+
+2004-01-27  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/nmakehlp.c: Use '.\nul' as the sourcefile name instead of 'nul'
+	so VC 5.2 doesn't try searching the path for it and failing with a
+	possible dialogbox popping up about having to add a CD to an empty
+	drive. Also added a SetErrorMode() call to disable any dialogs that
+	cl.exe or link.exe might create. [Bug 885537]
+
+2004-01-22  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/file.n: clarified documentation of 'file system' [Bug 883825]
+	* tests/fCmd.test: improved test result in failure case.
+
+2004-01-22  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: 3 new tests
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 879555] in file normalization.
+	* doc/filename.n: small clarification to Windows behaviour with
+	filenames like '.....', 'a.....', '.....a'.
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: slight improvement to native cwd caching on
+	Windows.
+
+2004-01-21  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* doc/Panic.3:	Mentions of 'panic' and 'panicVA' removed from the
+	documentation.
+
+2004-01-21  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3:
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c
+	* generic/tclDecls.h
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c
+	* generic/tclFileName.c
+	* generic/tclFileSystem.h

+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c
+	* win/tclWinFile.c
+	* win/tclWinInt.h
+
+	Three main issues accomplished: (1) cleaned up variable names in the
+	filesystem code so that 'pathPtr' is used throughout. (2) applied a
+	round of filesystem optimisation with better handling and caching of
+	relative and absolute paths, requiring fewer conversions. (3)
+	clarifications to the documentation, particularly regarding the
+	acceptable refCounts of objects. Some new tests added. Tcl benchmarks
+	show a significant improvement over 8.4.5, and on Windows typically a
+	small improvement over 8.3.5 (Unix still appears to require
+	optimisation). TCL_FILESYSTEM_VERSION_2 introduced, but for internal
+	use only. There should be no public incompatibilities from these
+	changes. Thanks to dgp for extensive testing.
+
+2004-01-19  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid): Fixed a thread-safety problem with
+	the process list. The delayed cut operation after the wait was going
+	stale by being outside the list lock. It now cuts within the lock and
+	does a locked splice for when it needs to instead. [Bug 859820]
+
+2004-01-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c, generic/tclCompile.h: Two new opcodes,
+	INST_LIST_INDEX_IMM and INST_LIST_RANGE_IMM, that have operand(s) of
+	new type OPERAND_IDX4 which represents indexes into things like lists
+	(and perhaps other things eventually.)
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Implementation of the new
+	opcodes. INST_LIST_INDEX_IMM does a simple [lindex] with either front-
+	or end-based simple indexing. INST_LIST_RANGE_IMM does an [lrange]
+	with front- or end-based simple indexing for both the reference to the
+	first and last items in the range.
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileLassignCmd): Generate bytecode for
+	the [lassign] command.
+
+2004-01-17  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c: added #pragma comment(lib, "advapi32.lib") when
+	compiling under VC++ so we don't need to specify it when linking.
+
+2004-01-17  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LassignObjCmd): Add more shimmering
+	protection for when the list is also one of the variables.
+
+	BASIC IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#57
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LassignObjCmd): Implementation of the
+	[lassign] command that takes full advantage of Tcl's object API.
+	* doc/lassign.n: New file documenting the command.
+	* tests/cmdIL.test (cmdIL-6.*): Test suite for the command.
+
+2004-01-15  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinReg.c: Placed the requirement for advapi.lib into the
+	object file itself with #pragma comment (lib, ...) when built with
+	VC++. This will simplify linking for users of the static library.
+
+	* win/rules.vc: Added new 'fullwarn' to the CHECKS commandline macro;
+	sets $(FULLWARNINGS).
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: Removed 'advapi.lib' from $(baselibs). Added new
+	logic to crank-up the warning levels for both compile and link when
+	$(FULLWARNINGS) is set. Some clean-up with how the resource files are
+	built and how -DTCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES is sent when compiling the
+	shells.
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c: Small change in how TCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES is
+	used.
+
+	* win/tcl.rc:
+	* win/tclsh.rc: Some clean-up with how the resource files are built.
+	Fixed 'OriginalFilename' problem that still thought a debug suffix was
+	still 'd', now is 'g'.
+
+2004-01-14  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (TraceDictPath, DictExistsCmd): Adjusted
+	behaviour of [dict exists] so a failure to look up a dictionary along
+	the path of dicts doesn't trigger an error. This is how it was
+	documented to behave previously... [Bug 871387]
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c: Assorted dict fixes from Peter Spjuth relating
+	to [Bug 876170].
+	(SetDictFromAny): Make sure that lists retain their ordering even when
+	converted to dictionaries and back.
+	(TraceDictPath): Correct object reference count handling!
+	(DictReplaceCmd, DictRemoveCmd): Stop object leak.
+	(DictIncrCmd,DictLappendCmd,DictAppendCmd,DictSetCmd,DictUnsetCmd):
+	Simpler handling of reference counts when assigning to variables.
+	* tests/dict.test (dict-19.2): Memory leak stress test
+
+2004-01-13  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd):  Silence compiler warnings.
+
+	Patch 876451: restores performance of [return]. Also allows forms such
+	as [return -code error $msg] to be bytecompiled.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Factored Tcl_ReturnObjCmd() into two pieces:
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	TclMergeReturnOptions(), which can parse the
+	options to [return], check their validity, and create the
+	corresponding return options dictionary, and TclProcessReturn(), which
+	takes that return options dictionary and performs the [return]
+	operation.
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: Rewrote TclCompileReturnCmd() to call
+	TclMergeReturnOptions() at compile time so the return options
+	dictionary is computed at compile time (when it is fully known). The
+	dictionary is pushed on the stack along with the result, and the code
+	and level values are included in the bytecode as operands. Also
+	supports optimized compilation of un-[catch]ed [return]s from procs
+	with default options into the INST_DONE instruction.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Rewrote INST_RETURN instruction to retrieve
+	the code and level operands, pop the return options from the stack,
+	and call TclProcessReturn() to perform the [return] operation.
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:	New utilities include TclEmitInt4 macro
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:	and TclWordKnownAtCompileTime().
+
+	End Patch 876451.
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_GlobObjCmd): Latest changes to management
+	of the interp result by Tcl_GetIndexFromObj() exposed improper interp
+	result management in the [glob] command procedure. Corrected by
+	adopting the Tcl_SetObjResult(Tcl_NewStringObj) pattern. This stopped
+	a segfault in test filename-11.36. [Bug 877677]
+
+2004-01-13  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct, Tcl_WrongNumArgs):
+	Create fresh objects instead of using the one currently in the
+	interpreter, which isn't guaranteed to be fresh and unshared. The cost
+	for the core will be minimal because of the object cache, and this
+	fixes [Bug 875395].
+
+2004-01-12  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (CompileLandOrLorExpr): cosmetic changes.
+
+2004-01-12  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (CompileLandOrLorExpr): new logic, fewer
+	instructions. As a side effect, the instructions INST_LOR and
+	INST_LAND are now never used.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_JUMP*): small optimisation; fix a bug in
+	debug code.
+
+2004-01-11  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c (Tcl_ConditionNotify): condPtr must be dereferenced
+	to see if there are waiters else uninitialized datum is manipulated.
+	[Bug 849007 789338 745068]
+
+2004-01-09  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Renamed and deprecated #defines moved to within the
+	#ifndef TCL_NO_DEPRECATED block. This allows us to build Tcl to check
+	for deprecated functions in use, such as panic() and Tcl_Ckalloc(). By
+	request from DKF. Extensions that build with -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED now
+	have these macros as restricted.
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/rules.vc:	 Added -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED usage to makefile.vc.
+	Called like this:   nmake -af makefile.vc CHECKS=nodep
+
+2004-01-09  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to infinite loop in TclFinalizeFilesystem
+	[Bug 873311]

+2005-12-30  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclStubLib.c: Corrected a typo in "missing Stubs table
+	pointer."
+
+2005-12-27  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:  Destubbed TclTomMathInitializeStubs - it is in
+	* generic/tcl.h:      the stub library, not the main shared
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: library. Exported Tcl_InitBignumFromDouble.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubLib.c:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regenerated.
+
+	* generic/clock.tcl: Reverted to using the time zone abbreviation and
+	not its name to "stop the bleeding" on [Bug 1386377]. This is *not* a
+	good long-term solution, but there may not be one.
+
+	* libtommath/bn_mp_sqrt.c: Improved the initial approximation to the
+	square root, roughly doubling the speed of the routine. (This is a
+	local change that needs to be communicated to Tom.)
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: Corrected a bug where tommath_class.h and
+	tommath_superclass.h were not installed, making it impossible for
+	client code to compile against the tommath stubs.
+
+	* library/tzdata: Updated to Olson's tzdata2005r. (Latest changes to
+	Daylight Saving Time in Canada, plus redefinition of the Posix-style
+	zones [e.g., EST5EDT] to be locale-independent.)
+
+	* libtommath: Updated to Tom St.Denis's release 0.37.
+
+2005-12-20  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (Tcl_GetMemoryInfo): Format values as longs
+	and not ints, so they are less likely to wrap on 64-bit machines.
+
+2005-12-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	Modified [string is double] to use
+	* tests/string.test:	TclParseNumber() to parse trailing whitespace.
+	Ensures consistency, and makes it easier to cleanup after invalid
+	internal reps left behind by parsing [Bugs 1360532 1382287].
+
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Added TCL_PARSE_NO_WHITESPACE to
+	* generic/tclScan.c:	TclParseNumber() calls since [scan] and [expr]
+	* tests/scan.test:	parsing don't want spaces in parsed numbers.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Added TCL_PARSE_NO_WHITESPACE flag to the
+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	TclParseNumber() interface.
+
+2005-12-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+

+	following thread on comp.lang.tcl.
+
+2005-12-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictCmd): Ensure that we only do an
+	'endCatch' when there's a preceding 'beginCatch'. [Bug 1382528] Many
+	thanks to Anton Kovalenko for finding this and pointing out that it was
+	a catch stack handling problem!
+
+2005-12-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: workaround gcc warning "comparison is always
+	* generic/tclTest.c:   false due to limited range of data type".

+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj:

+2005-12-13  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:   table to represent the 'libtommath' routines

+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC:DICT_FIRST,DICT_DONE): Only decrease the
+	references to the dictionary once the iteration completes. Do this by
+	storing the dict in the iterator context variable. [Bug 1379349] Thanks
+	to Ulrich Ring and Tobias Hippler for finding this.
+
+2005-12-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+

+
+2005-12-12  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* doc/mathfunc.n: Changed two examples from the incorrect 'tcl::math::'
+	to 'tcl::mathfunc::' [Bug 1378818]
+
+2005-12-09  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Define MACHINE for gcc builds. The
+	lack of a definition of this variable in the manifest file was causing
+	a runtime error in wish built with gcc.
+
+2005-12-09  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/lsearch.test (lsearch-10.8..10):  If the -start is off the end,
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): searching should find nothing
+	at all. [Bug 1374778]
+
+2005-12-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in, win/makefile.vc: Add Win x64 and CE build support
+	* win/tcl.m4, win/configure:        CE still requires C code fixes.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: use struct __stat64 (not _stat64) for MSC_VER >= 1400
+	(i.e. latest Platform SDK).
+
+2005-12-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/socket.n: Cross-referenced the socket documentation better to the
+	fconfigure documentation on the topic of asynch sockets.
+	* doc/fconfigure.n: Added keyword to documentation of -blocking option
+	so that people looking for "asynch" can find it as well.
+
+2005-12-05  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h (Darwin): fix incorrect __DARWIN_UNIX03 configure
+	overrides that were originally copied from Darwin CVS (rdar://3693001)
+
+2005-12-05  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tools/tclZIC.tcl: Updated to reflect changes in calling sequence when
+	GetJulianDateFromEraYearMonthDay moved to C.
+	* library/tzdata: Regenerated from Olson's tzdata2005p.tar.gz - the
+	'systemv' changes appear not to affect Tcl's processing of the dates.
+
+2005-12-05  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure.in: move check for fts API to configure.in and run it
+	* unix/tcl.m4:       on all platforms, since Linux glibc2 and *BSDs
+	also have this; using fts is more efficient than a recursive
+	opendir/readdir.
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TraverseUnixTree): add support to fts code for
+	platforms with stat64.
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: regen.
+
+2005-12-05  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/configure:     Use fts file API on Darwin if available.
+	* unix/tcl.m4:        Addresses file delete issues in readdir noted
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: in [Bug 1034337]. (steffen)
+	Remove redundant stat call for each file in DoCopyFile. (steffen)
+
+2005-12-02  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c: Moved a tiny bit more of [clock format] from run
+	* library/clock.tcl: time to compile time, and fixed a l10n bug in the
+	process. [Bug 1371446]. Also, conditoned the call to SetupTimeZone to
+	speed the common case where TZData($timezone) already exists, and
+	achieved a puny speedup by making ::tcl::clock::getenv not throw
+	errors.
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Made some changes to support a 'make' command that
+	is present on some antiquated versions of Solaris.
+
+2005-12-01  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl: Continued rationalizing the code, eliminating
+	numerous redundant [mc] calls. Added another time boost by precompiling
+	a [::format] command to do the bulk of the work of [clock format].
+
+2005-12-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Add remaining dependency info. While automated
+	maintenance of this information would be good, having it at all is much
+	better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick...
+
+2005-12-01  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c: fix warning.
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): fix error when MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET unset
+	* unix/configure: regen.
+
+2005-11-30  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Add dependency information relating to tclCompile.h
+	since when the list of opcodes changes it is usually useful to rebuild
+	everything that depends on it (but which is nonetheless a small
+	fraction of the total set of Tcl source files).
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for bytecode savers/loaders. See below
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Arrange for very simple
+	[switch] invokations to be compiled into hash lookups into jump tables;
+	only a very specific kind of [switch] can be safely compiled this way,
+	but that happens to be the most common kind. This makes around 5-10%
+	difference to the speed of execution of clock.test.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC:INST_JUMP_TABLE): New instruction to allow
+	for jumps to locations looked up in a hashtable. Requires a new AuxData
+	type, tclJumptableInfoType (supported by the functions DupJumptableInfo
+	and FreeJumptableInfo in tclCompCmds.c) so anything that saves bytecode
+	containing this *must* be updated!
+
+2005-11-30  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c: Fixed a bad refcount in previous commit that led
+	to a corrupted heap. Also silenced a warning that some compilers gave
+	about the excessively long constant for JULIAN_SEC_POSIX_EPOCH. Also
+	fixed a bug where [clock format] would fail in the :localtime zone for
+	times before the Posix Epoch. Thanks to Miguel Sofer for pointing out
+	all of these. Also rationalized the code a little bit by moving parts
+	of [clock scan] into C, eliminating some code that was duplicated in
+	the C and Tcl layers.
+
+2005-11-29  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Moved a big part of [clock format] down
+	* generic/tclClock.c:   to the C level in order to make it go faster.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:     Preliminary measurements suggest that it
+	* generic/clock.tcl:    more than doubles in speed with this change.
+
+2005-11-29  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): Allow [lsearch -regexp] to
+	process REs that contain backreferences. This expensive mode of
+	operation is only used if the RE would otherwise cause a compilation
+	failure. [Bug 1366683]
+
+2005-11-28  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tools/tclZIC.tcl (convertTimeOfDay): Corrected a typo that caused
+	wrong DST transitions in any time zone where the transition is
+	specified as local Standard Time (as opposed to wall-clock or UTC).
+	(Also updated the code to be bignum-safe.)
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-51.1): Added regression test for the above.
+	* library/tzdata: Updated to Olson's 'tzdata2005o' (changes for Cuba,
+	Nicaragua, Jordan, and Georgia) and regenerated. Thanks to Paul
+	Mackerras for reporting this problem.
+
+2005-11-27  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add 64bit support, check for Tiger copyfile(),
+	add CFLAGS to SHLIB_LD to support passing -isysroot in env(CFLAGS) to
+	configure (flag can't be present twice, so can't be in both CFLAGS and
+	LDFLAGS during configure), don't use -prebind when deploying on 10.4,
+	define TCL_IO_TRACK_OS_FOR_DRIVER_WITH_BAD_BLOCKING (rdar://3171542).
+	(SC_ENABLE_LANGINFO, SC_TIME_HANDLER): add/fix caching, fix obsolete
+	autoconf macros. Sync with tk/unix/tcl.m4.
+
+	* unix/configure.in: fix obsolete autoconf macros, sync gratuitous
+	formatting/ordering differences with tk/unix/configure.in.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: add CFLAGS to tclsh/tcltest link to make executable
+	linking the same as during configure (needed to avoid losing any linker
+	relevant flags in CFLAGS, in particular flags that cannot be in
+	LDFLAGS). Avoid concurrent linking of tclsh and compiling of
+	tclTestInit.o or xtTestInit.o during parallel make.
+	(checkstubs, checkdoc, checkexports): dependency and Darwin fixes
+	(dist): add new macosx files.
+
+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpDlopen): use NSADDIMAGE_OPTION_WITH_SEARCHING
+	on second NSAddImage only. [Bug 1204237]
+	(TclGuessPackageName): should not be MODULE_SCOPE.
+	(TclpLoadMemory): ppc64 and endian (i386) fixes, add support for
+	loading universal (fat) bundles from memory.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c: ppc64 and endian (i386) fixes.
+	(TclMacOSXCopyFileAttributes): add support for new Tiger copyfile() API
+	to enable copying of xattrs & ACLs by [file copy].
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: add Darwin specifc configure overrides for TCL_WIDE
+	defines to support fat compiles of ppc and ppc64 at the same time,
+	(replaces Darwin CVS fix by emoy, rdar://3693001). add/correct location
+	of version numbers in macosx files.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: clarify fat compile comment.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: add Darwin specifc configure overrides to support
+	fat compiles, where configure runs only once for multiple architectures
+	(replaces Darwin CVS fix by emoy, rdar://3693001).
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: fix #include order to support compile time
+	override of HAVE_COREFOUNDATION in tclUnixPort.h when building for
+	ppc64
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/default.pbxuser (new file):
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser:
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
+	* macosx/Tcl.xcode/default.pbxuser (new file):
+	* macosx/Tcl.xcode/project.pbxproj (new file):
+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/default.pbxuser (new file):
+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj (new file): new/updated
+	projects for Xcode 2.2 on 10.4, Xcode 1.5 on 10.3 & ProjectBuilder on
+	10.2, with native tcltest targets and support for universal (fat)
+	compiles.
+
+	* macosx/README: clarification/cleanup, document new Xcode projects and
+	universal (fat) builds via CFLAGS (i.e. all of ppc ppc64 i386 at once).
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/aclocal.m4:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in:
+	* macosx/configure.ac (new file): add support for inclusion of
+	unix/configure.in by macosx/configure.ac, allows generation of a config
+	headers enabled configure script in macosx (required by Xcode
+	projects).
+
+	* macosx/GNUmakefile: rename from Makefile to avoid overwriting by
+	configure run in tcl/macosx, add support for reusing configure cache,
+	build target fixes, remove GENERIC_FLAGS override now handled by
+	tcl.m4.
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls: add Tcl_Main declaration as comment to avoid
+	'checkstubs' target complaining about it missing from stubs.
+
+	* generic/regex.h:
+	* generic/tclDate.c:
+	* generic/tclEnv.c:
+	* generic/tclGetDate.y:

+	* generic/tclTrace.c:
+	* generic/tclVar.c:
+	* generic/tommath.h:
+	* tools/fix_tommath_h.tcl:
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: ensure externally visible symbols not contained
+	in stubs table are declared as MODULE_SCOPE (or as static if not used
+	outside of own source file). These changes allow 'make checkstubs' to
+	complete without error on Darwin with gcc 4.
+
+	* generic/rege_dfa.c (getvacant):
+	* generic/regexec.c (cfind):
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (CompileSubExpr):
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceEnsembleCmd):
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclUnixWaitForFile): initialise variables to
+	silence gcc 4 warnings.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): fix unused variable
+	warning when NO_WIDE_TYPE is defined.
+
+	* generic/regguts.h: only #define NDEBUG if not already #defined.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: sync whitespace & comments.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: remove declaration of obsolete&unused TclpMutex
+	API.
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: regen.
+
+2005-11-21  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Updated Makefile to new
+	* win/Makefile.in (install-libraries):  version of the http package.
+	This fixes the ifneeded/provide mismatch reported when trying to
+	require http. Should we maybe try to automatically extract the version
+	number from the http code to prevent future breakage ?
+
+	This follows the update of the version number by dgp on Nov 15 (No
+	entry found in the ChangeLog).
+
+2005-11-20  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStubLib.c: Don't set tclStubsPtr to 0 when
+	Tcl_PkgRequireEx() fails [Fix for [Bug 1091431] "Tcl_InitStubs failure
+	crashes wish"]
+
+2005-11-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/trace.test (trace-34.5): [Bug 1047286], added a second test
+	illustrating the role of "ns in callStack" in the ns's visibility
+	during deletion traces.
+
+2005-11-18  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* doc/clock.n: Restored several missing lines near the %w format group
+	so that %w and %W are documented with their actual behaviour. [Bug
+	1359183]
+
+2005-11-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): preserve statePtr until we
+	retrieve the next statePtr from it.
+
+2005-11-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (GetBignumFromObj): replace NULL with
+	tclEmptyStringRep to stop memcpy from complaining in a debug build
+	(the corresponding branch is eliminated by the optimiser otherwise).
+
+2005-11-18  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): Applied Pat Thoyts' patch
+	for [Bug 1359094]. This moves the retrieval of the next channel state
+	to the end of the loop, as the called closeproc may close other
+	channels, i.e. modify the list we are iterating, invalidating any
+	pointer retrieved earlier.
+
+2005-11-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclListObj.c:	Restored the SetListFromAny routine to the
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	"list" Tcl_ObjType, and restored the
+	Tcl_RegisterObjType() call for "list". This addresses the needs of some
+	"bridge" extensions to examine whether the Tcl_ObjType of a Tcl_Obj is

+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
+	* tests/namespace.test: fix for [Bug 1354540] and [Bug 1355942]. The
+	new tests 7.3-6 and the modified 51.13 fail due to the unrelated [Bug
+	1355342]
+
+	* tests/trace.test: added tests 20.13-16 for [Bug 1355342]

+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken):

+
+2005-11-12  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindCommand): Do not find commands in dead

+
+2005-11-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Revised TclParseNumber interface to enable
+	* generic/tclScan.c:	revision to the [scan] command implementation

+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken):
+	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetCommandFromObj): bump the cmd epoch early
+	to insure that cached references to this command are invalidated.
+	Partial fix for [Bug 1352734] - at least insures that namespace-51.13
+	does not cause a panic. The test is still marked as knownbug, pending

+	1354540])
+
+2005-11-09  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclTimer.c: Changed [after] so that it behaves correctly

+
+2005-11-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+	* tests/expr.test:      Portable tests expr-46.13-18 [Bug 1341368]
+
+	* generic/tclPkg.c:	Corrected inconsistencies in the value returned
+	* tests/pkg.test:	by Tcl_PkgRequire(Ex) so that the returned
+	values will always agree with what is stored in the package database.
+	This way repeated calls to Tcl_PkgRequire(Ex) have the same results.

+
+2005-11-08  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TraceVarEx): Factor out heart of Tcl_TraceVar2
+	(TclTraceVariableObjCmd,TraceVarProc): Use the new internal API to
+	arrange for the clientData to be cleaned up at the same time as the
+	rest of the main trace record. This simplifies the code a bit at the
+	same time.
+
+2005-11-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/trace.test (trace-13.2-4): added tests to detect leak, see [Bug

+
+2005-11-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/dict.test (dict-19.2): arrange for the stress testing code to

+
+2005-11-05  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+

+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c:
+	* generic/tclLink.c:
+	* generic/tclTest.c:
+	* generic/tclVar.c: fix for [Bug 1334947]. The functions TclPtrSetVar,
+	Tcl_ObjSetVar2 and Tcl_SetVar2Ex now always consume the newValuePtr
+	argument - i.e., they will free a 0-refCount object if they failed to
+	set the variable. Fixed all callers in the core.
+
+2005-11-04  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Added abbreviations for the Korean
+	* library/clock.tcl:    timezone. [Patch 1298737]
+	* generic/tclDate.c:    Regenerated.
+
+	* tools/findBadExternals.tcl: Added this script, which locates external
+	symbols that do not begin with 'Tcl' or 'tcl' and hence might be in
+	conflict with other link libraries. Thanks to George Peter Staplin for
+	the idea and the initial version of the script. [Bug 1263012]
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Trimmed a bunch of fat out of the tommath/
+	directory in 'make dist'. [RFE 1333318]
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: Added code to enable [load] on LynxOS. Thanks to
+	heidibr@users.sf.net for the patch. [Bug 1163896]. Removed the last
+	vestiges of GNU dld from the Unix build [RFE 1071992].
+
+	* unix/tclLoadDld.c: Removed.
+	* unix/configure: Regenerated.

+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:

+	* tests/trace.test: fix for [Bugs 1338280/1337229]; changed to use the

+
+2005-11-03  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:   Applied [Patch 1256872] to provide unicode

+
+2005-11-02  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	Applied [Patch 1096916] to support building with MSVC 8.
+	* generic/regerror.c: Avoid use of reserved word.
+	* generic/tcl.h:      Select the right Tcl_Stat structure
+	* generic/tclDate.c:  Casts to handle 64 bit time_t case.
+	* tests/env.test:     Include essential envvar on Win32
+	* win/nmakehlp.c:     Handle new return codes.
+	* win/makefile.vc:    Use the selected options.
+	* win/rules.vc:       Check options are applicable
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:   Disable deprecated function warnings
+	* win/tclWinSock.c:   Provide default value to avoid warning.
+	* win/tclWinTime.c:   Add casts to handle 64bit time_t type.
+
+2005-11-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TclCheckExecutionTraces): Corrected mistaken
+	assumption that all command traces are set at the script level.
+	Report/fix from Jacques H. de Villiers. [Bug 1337941]
+
+	* tests/unixNotfy.test (1.1,2):	Update error message whitespace to

+
+	* tests/expr-old.test (expr-32.52): Use int(.) to restrict result of
+	left shift to the C long range.
+
+	* expr.test (expr-46.13): Added test that illustrates shortcoming of
+	[Patch 1340260].
+
+2005-10-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c: fix for [Bugs 1338280/1337229]. Thanks Don.

+
+2005-10-31  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialSetOptionProc): Cleaned up option parsing

+	non-error code paths better.
+	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-8-19): Updated.
+
+2005-10-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TraceVarProc): [Bug 1337229], partial fix. Ensure
+	that a second call with TCL_TRACE_DESTROYED does not lead to a second
+	call to Tcl_EventuallyFree(). It is still true that that second call
+	should not happen, so the bug is not completely fixed.
+	* tests/trace.test (test-18.3-4): added tests for [Bug 1337229] and
+	[Bug 1338280].
+
+2005-10-23  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: fix to memory leak in glob [Bug 1335006] Obj
+	leak detection and patch by Eric Melbardis.
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: where appropriate windows API is available, try to

+	1325803]
+
+2005-10-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+
+2005-10-21  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclStrToD.c (RefineApproximation): Plugged a memory leak
+	where two intermediate results were not freed on one return path. [Bug
+	1334461]. Thanks to Eric Melbardis for the patch.
+
+2005-10-21  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/binary.n: Clarify that virtually all code that uses the 'h'
+	format in [binary scan] should be using the 'H' format instead. It is
+	nearly always a bug to use the other!
+
+2005-10-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclListObj.c (TclLsetFlat):
+	* tests/lset.test (lset-10.3): fixed handling of unshared lists with
+	shared sublists, [Bug 1333036] reported by neuronstorm.
+
+2005-10-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c (PassReceivedError,PassReceivedErrorInterp):
+	Fix crash caused by passing -1 as the length to TclNewStringObj(). Only
+	Tcl_NewStringObj (the function call, not the macro) handles that sort
+	of thing correctly. This makes ioCmd.test pass again.
+
+2005-10-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2005-10-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c: General cleanup, removing checks that are
+	unnecessary due to the general contracts of other functions in the
+	core, converting to using ANSI declarations, etc. Note that nearly the
+	whole file has changed, but it is often just cosmetic.
+
+2005-10-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_DICT_APPEND, INST_DICT_LAPPEND): fixed
+	faulty peephole optimisation that can cause crashes, [Bug 1331475]
+	reported by Aric Bills.
+
+2005-10-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Added optimization for I32L64 systems to avoid
+	using bignums to perform int multiplies. The improvement shows up most
+	dramatically in tclbench's matrix.bench.
+
+2005-10-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Restored some optimizations of the

+
+2005-10-14  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers): removed change dated
+	2005-10-04 (see below). Look into [Bug 1323992] for detailed
+	discussion.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Fixed bad definition of CRTEXPORT which should have
+	been CRTIMPORT rather. This broke compilation of generic/tclMain.c and
+	was probably introduced by mistake while applying the fix for [Bug
+	1256937] below.
+
+2005-10-14  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclIncrObj, TclExecuteByteCode): Tidied up a

+
+2005-10-14  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:     Fix for [Bug 1256937] - correctly decorate

+
+2005-10-13  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/format.test: "Forward"-port of test updates relating to [Bug

+
+2005-10-13  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers): temporary ifdef

+	channel is being closed/cutted.
+
+2005-10-13  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	parsing "Na". [Bug 1325833]
+
+2005-10-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (GetNumberFromObj):	Restored some lost
+	optimizations for empty string values. We avoid cost of a call to
+	TclParseNumber just to tell us an empty string isn't a number.
+
+2005-10-12  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c (SetFsPathFromAny): TclGetString macro must not

+
+2005-10-12  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+

+
+2005-10-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Corrections to the NO_WIDE_TYPE build. Also
+	added missing "break" to a switch that broke wide XOR operations.
+
+2005-10-10  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (DeleteScriptLimitCallback)
+	(SetScriptLimitCallback): Improve the interlocking between the script
+	limit callback record and the hash table of current such records, to
+	prevent crashes in callbacks that create callbacks.
+	(Tcl_LimitSetTime): Reset the correct flag. Problem reported by
+	Nicolas Castagne <castagne@imag.fr> on comp.lang.tcl
+
+2005-10-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+
+2005-10-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Macro GetNumberFromObj() is version of
+	TclGetNumberFromObj() that saves a function call for common uses.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Made #undef NO_WIDE_TYPE the default on 32-bit
+	systems. Being able to use 64-bit values without leaping to mp_int
+	should help with performance.
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Bug fixes in the #undef NO_WIDE_TYPE

+
+2005-10-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Improved performance of INST_MULT, INST_DIV,

+	from loop" in TclIncrObj() and removed some dead code.
+
+2005-10-05  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+

+	Welton's patch for it, and added a note about wideSeekProc.
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c (RcClose): Removed unreachable panic/return
+	statements. This fixes the remainder of [Bug 1286256].
+
+2005-10-05  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/env.test (env-6.1):
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: define USE_PUTENV_FOR_UNSET 1
+	* generic/tclEnv.c (TclSetEnv, TclUnsetEnv): add USE_PUTENV_FOR_UNSET
+	to existing USE_PUTENV define to account for various systems that have
+	putenv(), but can't unset env vars with it. Note difference between
+	Windows and Linux for actually unsetting the env var (use of '=').

+	sections for performance.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Updated more callers to make use of

+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Removed a copy-and-paste accident
+	that caused a (mostly harmless) double finalize of the load and

+
+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_Expr{Long,Double}{,Obj}): Updated to
+	* generic/tclTest.c:                                deal with

+	* tests/expr.test:                                  mostly).
+	Added a missing "errno=0;" in ExprUnaryFunc so that spurious error

+	Added test cases for Tcl_Expr* and Tcl_Expr*Obj because there was very
+	poor test coverage in those areas.
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c: Reworked parsing of numbers to call

+2005-08-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Made bit shifting opcodes and INST_MOD
+	bignum-aware.
+
+	* tests/scan.test:	Making << bignum-aware means that repeated
+	* tests/string.test:	left shifting cannot turn a positive into a

+	test suite that relied on that happening. Without revision they became
+	infinite loops.

+
+2005-08-13  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Extended Bignum auto-narrowing to auto-narrow
+	to tclWideIntType when appropriate; this helps keep things working as
+	the bytecode execution code is migrated to supporting bignums.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Major overhaul of IllegalExprOperandType.
+	Changed several TclNewFooObj() calls to more logically appropriate
+	ones. Added several TODO comments marking opportunies for future work.
+	Made more use of the eePtr->constants. Made INST_UMINUS bignum aware.
+
+2005-08-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Simplify doCondJump. Use eePtr->constants as
+	result of INST_DICT_NEXT, INST_LAND, and INST_LOR. Separate INST_LNOT
+	from INST_UMINUS and simplify.
+
+2005-08-12  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c (MktimeObjCmd):
+	* library/clock.tcl (GetSystemTimeZone, LoadZoneinfoFile)
+	(ReadZoneinfoFile):
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-50.1):
+	Added functionality to read /etc/localtime if it exists, so that Tcl's
+	time can track system time on Linux even if TZ is not set. Changed
+	::tcl::clock::Mktime to check for failure, and added a test case that
+	mimics failure but is really success.
+
+2005-08-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Rewrite of INST_LAND/INST_LOR to take advantage
+	of loss of "pure double" issues. Merged INST_UPLUS with
+	INST_TRY_CVT_TO_NUMERIC and updated to use improved rules for impure
+	"double"s as well.
+
+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	Restored conditional generation of
+	tclWideIntType values by TclParseNumber so that Tcl's not completely
+	broken while bignum calculation support is incomplete. The NO_WIDE_TYPE
+	macro can be used to disable this.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (ExprAbsFunc): First pass making [expr abs(.)]
+	bignum-aware.
+
+2005-08-11  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:         Eliminated the USE_THREAD_STORAGE option
+	* generic/tclInt.h:           (which is on in every build generated by
+	* generic/tclThread.c:        by the standard configurator).
+	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: Eliminated the code for thread specific
+	* unix/configure:             data without USE_THREAD_STORAGE and
+	* unix/tcl.m4:                radically refactored the code for

+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:         dependencies on the order of

+	* win/Makefile.in:            distclean' on Windows clean just a little
+	* win/rules.vc:               bit cleaner.)

+
+2005-08-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

+	* win/Makefile.in:	to routines from libtommath used by Tcl.
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+
+	* generic/tommath.h:	make gentommath_h
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Substantial rewrite to make all number parsing
+	flow through TclParseNumber(). Also established the NO_WIDE_TYPE and
+	BIGNUM_AUTO_NARROW #ifdef's to help track the assumptions of different
+	portions of the code.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Added NO_WIDE_TYPE #ifdefs
+
+2005-08-10  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Pushed Tcl_FinalizeLoad and
+	Tcl_ResetFilesystem down after Tcl_FinalizeThreadAlloc because we can't
+	unload DLL's until after their TSD keys are finalized. (Note that we'll
+	still see aborts if an unloaded DLL has TSD - that still needs to be
+	fixed.
+
+	* tests/compExpr-old.test (compExpr-3.8): Made tests conditional on
+	* tests/expr.test (expr-3.8):             'unix' because they get
+	stack overflows on Win32 threaded builds,
+
+2005-08-09  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2005-08-06  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+

+2005-08-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+2005-08-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	[kennykb-numerics-branch] Updated from HEAD
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Rewrote Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj() and supporting

+
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Simplified routines that manage the typeTable.
+	Deleted the UpdateStringOfBoolean() routine, that can never be called.

+
+2005-07-27  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	Converted the $::tcl_precision value to be kept
+	per-thread to prevent different threads from stomping on each others'
+	formatting prescriptions.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** Multi-threaded programs that set the
+	value of ::tcl_precision will now have to set it in each thread.
+
+	* tests/expr.test:	Consolidated equivalent constraints into
+	* tests/fileName.test:	single definitions and (more precise) names:

+	* tests/listObj.test:	empty => emptyTest; winOnly => win
+	* tests/obj.test:	intsAre64bit => longIs64bit
+	Also updated some "nonPortable" tests to use constraints that mark
+	precisely what about them isn't portable, so the tests can run where
+	they work.
+
+	* library/init.tcl ([unknown]): Corrected return code handling in the
+	portions of [unknown] that expand incomplete commands during
+	interactive operations. [Bug 1214462].
+
+2005-07-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.

+	* generic/tclExecute.c: General style cleanup.
+
+2005-07-08  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Reimplement long and wide
+	type integer division and modulus operations so that the smallest and
+	largest integer values are handled properly. The divide operation is
+	more efficient since it no longer does a modulus or negation and only
+	checks for a remainder when the quotient will be a negative number.
+	The modulus operation is now a bit more complex because of a number of
+	special cases dealing with the smallest and largest integers.
+	* tests/expr.test: Add test cases for division and modulus operations
+	on the smallest and largest integer values for 32 and 64 bit types.

+
+2005-07-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+2005-07-05  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	Purged use of TCLTESTARGS [RFE 1161550].

+
+2005-07-04  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictForCmd, DictFilterCmd): Interlocking of
+	dictionary internal representations is now done in the core of the dict
+	iterator. Purge the last attempts at doing it at a higher level as they
+	didn't work and were no longer needed.
+
+2005-07-01  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: protect against spurious wake-ups while waiting

+	1222872].
+
+2005-06-28  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): When parsing an integer
+	operand for a unary minus expression operator, check for a wide integer
+	that is actually LONG_MIN. If found, convert back to a long int type.
+	* tests/expr.test: Add constraint for 32bit long int type and 64bit

+
+2005-06-24  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize):
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclPreserve.c (TclFinalizePreserve): Changed the finalization
+	logic so that Tcl_Preserve finalizes after exit handlers run; a lot of
+	code called from Tk's exit handlers presumes that Tcl_Preserve will
+	still work even from an exit handler.
+
+2005-06-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/auto.tcl:	Make file safe to re-[source] without

+2005-06-23  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWinChan.c: More rewriting of __asm__ blocks that implement
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: SEH in GCC, because mingw's gcc 3.4.2 is not as

+2005-06-23  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): shutdown of the pipe
+	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclFinalizePipes):    management until after all
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclFinalizePipes):	    channels have been closed,
+	in order to avoid a situation where the Windows PipeCloseProc2 would
+	re-establish the exit handler after exit handlers had already run,
+	corrupting the heap. [Bug 1225727] Also corrected a potential read of
+	uninitialized memory in PipeClose2Proc [Bug 1225044]
+
+2005-06-21  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Followup to change made on 2005-06-18 by Daniel
+	Steffen. There are compilers (*) who error out on the redefinition of
+	WORDS_BIGENDIAN. We have to undef the previous definition (on the
+	command line) first to make this acceptable. (*): AIX native.
+
+2005-06-21  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: Changed [file split] and [file join] to treat
+	Windows drive letters similarly to ~ syntax and make sure that they
+	appear with "./" in front when they are in intermediate components of
+	the path. [Bug 1194458]
+	* tests/fileName.test: Added test for the above bug.
+
+2005-06-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Added missing walk of the list of active
+	* generic/tclTrace.c:	traces to cleanup references to traces being
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	deleted. [Bug 1201035] Made the walk of the
+	* tests/trace.test (trace-34.*): active trace list aware of the
+	direction of trace scanning, so the proper correction can be made.
+	[Bug 1224585]
+
+2005-06-21  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS): Only enable the 'compile' special
+	debugging feature when requested in configure.in; removes irrelevant
+	junk from the configure files of extensions that use Tcl's tcl.m4.
+
+2005-06-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h (INST_PUSH_RETURN_OPTIONS): New opcode to allow

+
+2005-06-20  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Generate an error if a mode
+	argument like -exact is passed more than once to the switch command.
+	The previous implementation silently accepted invalid switch
+	invocations like [switch -exact -glob $str ...].
+	* tests/for.test: Check some error cases when invoking continue and
+	break inside a for loop next script.
+	* tests/switch.test: Add checks for shortened version of a mode
+	argument like -exact. Add test for more than one mode argument. Add
+	test for odd case of passing a variable as a body script.
+
+2005-06-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: ensure WORDS_BIGENDIAN is defined correctly with
+	fat compiles on Darwin (i.e. ppc and i386 at the same time), the
+	configure AC_C_BIGENDIAN check is not sufficient in this case because a
+	single run of the compiler builds for two architectures with different
+	endianness.
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add -headerpad_max_install_names to LDFLAGS to
+	ensure we can always relocate binaries with install_name_tool.
+
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
+
+2005-06-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+
+	* generic/tclTimer.c (AfterDelay): Split out the code to manage

+	* tests/interp.test (interp-34.10): Time limits and synch-delay [after]
+	did not mix well... [Bug 1221395]
+
+2005-06-14  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): Only delete a
+	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-49.2): command from the hashtable on
+	reentrant processing if it has not been already deleted; at least three
+	deletes of the same command are possible. [Bug 1220058]
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TraceCommandProc): Remove bogus error message
+	creation when traces trigger in situations where the command has
+	already been deleted.
+
+2005-06-13  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2005-06-01  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2005-05-31  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Corrected parser to recognize all

+
+2005-05-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): Rewrite for greater

+
+2005-05-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): fixed crashing CFRelease
+	of runLoopSource in Tcl_InitNotifier (reported by Zoran):
+	CFRunLoopAddSource doesn't CFRetain, so can only CFRelease the
+	runLoopSource in Tcl_FinalizeNotifier.
+
+2005-05-18  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_ExprBoolean):	Rewrite as wrapper around

+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c ([string is boolean/true/false]): Rewrite dropping
+	string-based Tcl_GetBoolean call, so that internal reps are kept for
+	subsequent quick boolean operations.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Dropped most special handling of the "boolean"
+	Tcl_ObjType, since that type should now be rarely encountered.
+
+	* doc/BoolObj.3:	Rewrite of documentation dropping many details
+	about the internals of Tcl_Objs. Shorter documentation focuses on the
+	function and use of the routines.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Revision to the "boolean" Tcl_ObjType, so that
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	only string values like "yes" and "false" are
+	* tests/obj.test:	kept as the "boolean" Tcl_ObjType. The string
+	values "0" and "1" are kept as "int" Tcl_ObjType, which also produce
+	quick calls to Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj(). Since this internal change
+	means a Tcl_ConvertToType to a "boolean" Tcl_ObjType might not produce
+	a Tcl_Obj of type "boolean", the registration of the "boolean" type is
+	also removed.
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	For callers of Tcl_GetObjType on the type name "boolean".

+2005-05-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclInitObjSubsystem):	Removed the
+	* tests/listObj.test:	registration of the Tcl_ObjType's "list",
+	* tests/obj.test:	"procbody", "index", "ensembleCommand",
+	"localVarName", and "levelReference". The only reason to register a
+	Tcl_ObjType is to have it returned by Tcl_GetObjType, and the only
+	reason for that is to retrieve a (Tcl_ObjType *) to pass to
+	Tcl_ConvertToType(). None of the types above can support a
+	Tcl_ConvertToType() call; they panic. Better not to offer something
+	than to lead users into a panic.
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	For callers of Tcl_GetObjType on the type names listed above.

+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclTest.c:
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: fixed link error due to direct access by tclTest.c
+	to the MODULE_SCOPE tclPlatform global: renamed existing

+	generic code so that it can be used by on all platforms where
+	MODULE_SCOPE is enforced.
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): made use of CoreFoundation API configurable and
+	added test of CoreFoundation availablility to allow building on ppc64,
+	replaced HAVE_CFBUNDLE by HAVE_COREFOUNDATION; test for availability of
+	Tiger or later OSSpinLockLock API.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (new file): when CoreFoundation is
+	available, use new CFRunLoop based notifier: allows easy integration
+	with other event loops on Mac OS X, in particular the TkAqua Carbon
+	event loop is now integrated via a standard tcl event source (instead
+	of TkAqua upon loading having to finalize the exsting notifier and
+	replace it with its custom version). [Patch 1202052]
+
+	* tests/unixNotfy.test: don't run unthreaded tests on Darwin since
+	notifier may be using threads even in unthreaded core.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): test for thread-unsafe realpath during
+	configure, as Darwin 7 and later realpath is threadsafe.
+
+	* macosx/Makefile: enable configure caching.
+
+	* unix/configure.in: wrap tclConfig.h header in #ifndef _TCLCONFIG so
+	that it can be included more than once without warnings from gcc4.0 (as
+	happens e.g. when including both tclInt.h and tclPort.h)
+

+
+	The 2005-04-21 changes to Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj were done to bring it
+	into agreement with its docs. Further investigation reveals it was the
+	docs that were incorrect.
+
+	* doc/BoolObj.3:	Corrections to the documentation of
+	Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj to bring it into agreement with what this public
+	interface has always done, including noting the difference in function
+	between Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj and Tcl_GetBoolean.
+
+	* generic/tclGet.c:	Revised Tcl_GetBoolean to no longer be a
+	wrapper around Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj (different function!).
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Removed TclGetTruthValueFromObj routine that
+	was added yesterday. Revisions so that only Tcl_GetBoolean-approved
+	values get the "boolean" Tcl_ObjType. This retains the fix for [Bug
+	1187123].

+
+	* doc/GetInt.3:	Convert argument "string" to "str" to agree with code.
+	Also clarified a few details on int and double formats.
+	* generic/tclGet.c:	Radical code simplification. Converted
+	Tcl_GetFoo() routines into wrappers around Tcl_GetFooFromObj(). Reduces
+	code duplication, and the resulting potential for inconsistency.
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Several changes:
+
+	- Re-ordered error detection code so all values with trailing garbage
+	  receive a "not an integer" message instead of an "integer too large"
+	  message.
+	- Removed inactive code meant to deal with strtoul* routines that fail
+	  to parse leading signs. All of them do, and if any are detected that
+	  do not, the correct fix is replacement with compat/strtoul*.c, not a
+	  lot of special care by the callers.
+	- Tcl_GetDoubleFromObj now avoids shimmering away a "wideInt" intrep.
+	- Fixed Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj to agree with its documentation and with
+	  Tcl_GetBoolean, accepting only "0" and "1" and not other numeric
+	  strings. [Bug 1187123]
+	- Added new private routine TclGetTruthValueFromObj to perform the more
+	  permissive conversion of numeric values to boolean that is needed by
+	  the [expr] machinery.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclGetTruthValueFromObj):	New routine.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Updated callers to call new routine.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Updated callers to call new routine.
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:	Updated callers to call new routine.
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c:	Updated callers to call new routine.
+	* tests/obj.test:	Corrected bad tests that actually expected
+	values like "47" and "0xac" to be accepted as booleans.
+
+	* generic/tclLiteral.c: Disabled the code that forces some literals
+	into the "int" Tcl_ObjType during registration. We can re-enable it if
+	this change causes trouble, but it seems more sensible to let Tcl's
+	"on-demand" shimmering rule, and not try to pre-guess things.

+
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: fixed TclpFreeAllocCache() to recognize when
+	being called with NULL argument. This is a signal for it to clean up
+	the tsd key associated with the threading allocator.

+	rather than a mysterious crash later.
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	Several changes to the way the
+	encodingFileMap cache is maintained. Previously, it was attempted to
+	keep the file map filled and up to date with changes in the encoding
+	search path. This contributed to slow startup times since it required
+	an expensive "glob" operation to fill the cache. Now the validity of
+	items in the cache are checked at the time they are used, so the cache
+	is permitted to fall out of sync with the encoding search path. Only
+	[encoding names] and Tcl_GetEncodingNames() now pay the full expense.

 --- Released 8.4.6, March 1, 2004 --- See ChangeLog for details ---
 
+Changes to 8.5a1 include all changes to the 8.4 line through 8.4.6,
+plus the following, which focuses on the high-level feature changes
+in this changeset (new minor version) rather than bug fixes:
+
+ * refactored IO code to split FS path code into generic/tclPathObj.c
+  and generic/tclFileSystem.h
+
+ * refactored trace code into generic/tclTrace.c
+
+ * configure scripts now require autoconf 2.57 for regeneration
+
+ * updated runtime library scripts to use newer Tcl code features
+   (like replacing regsub with string map)
+
+ * improve robustness of tcltest test suite across environments
+
+ * changed the bytecode evaluation-stack addressing mode, from array-style
+   to pointer-style; the catch stack and evaluation stack are now
+   contiguous in memory
+
+ * switch command is now byte-compiled
+
+ * enhanced checking in 'file' command for Windows NT file permissions
+
+ * [TIP #57] new 'lassign' command (adopted from TclX)
+
+ * [TIP #75] switch -regexp now provides submatch info
+
+ * [TIP #90] extended 'catch' and 'return' to enable creation of procs
+   that are a true replacement for 'return'
+
+ * [TIP #100] new 'unload' command (can unload DLLs loaded via 'load',
+   requires the extension writer to support it)
+
+ * [TIP #111] new 'dict' command.  Several commands have been updated
+   to handle the list form of dicts implicitly at the C level where
+   only lists were previously accepted
+
+ * [TIP #112] 'namespace ensemble' command addition allows for ensembles
+   that build on the namespace abstraction
+
+ * [TIP #118] file attributes -readonly option for unices that support
+   chflags(), support Mac Classic attribute options on OS X, add
+   -rsrclength for OS X, enhance file copy on OS X to copy finder
+   attributes and resource forks transparently
+
+ * [TIP #120] enable dde in safe interpreters
+ * [TIP #130] enable unique dde server names on Windows
+ * [TIP #135] change dde servername -exact option to -force
+=> dde 1.3
+
+ * [TIP #121] new Tcl_SetExitProc C API to control application shutdown
+
+ * [TIP #123] expr ** exponentiation operator
+
+ * [TIP #124] 'clock clicks -milliseconds' now returns a wide integer and a
+   new 'clock clicks -microseconds' returns a wide integer, representing
+   the number of microseconds, both since the Posix epoch
+
+ * [TIP #127] added 'lsearch -index' option
+
+ * [TIP #136] added 'lrepeat' command
+
+ * [TIP #137/151] Add -encoding option to 'source' command and main tclsh
+   executable.
+     *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
+   For Tcl embedders that build on Tcl_Main() and make use of Tcl_Main's
+   former ability to pass a leading "-encoding" option to interactive shell
+   operations, this will now be consumed by Tcl.
+
+ * [TIP #138] New TCL_HASH_KEY_SYSTEM_HASH option for Tcl hash tables
+
+ * [TIP #139] documented portions of Tcl's namespace C APIs
+
+ * [TIP #148] correct [list]-quoting of the '#' character
+     *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** 
+   For scripts that assume a particular (buggy) string rep for lists.
+
+ * [TIP #156] add "root locale" to msgcat
+=> msgcat 1.4
+
+ * [TIP #157] leading {expand} syntax on words to cause argument expansion.
+   This is a safer/cleaner alternative to the use of 'eval'.

 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .PP
-These procedures are used to manipulate two Tcl global variables
-that hold information about errors.
-The variable \fBerrorInfo\fR holds a stack trace of the
+.VS 8.5
+The \fBTcl_SetReturnOptions\fR and \fBTcl_GetReturnOptions\fR
+routines expose the same capabilities as the \fBreturn\fR and
+\fBcatch\fR commands, respectively, in the form of a C interface.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetReturnOptions\fR retrieves the dictionary of return options
+from an interpreter following a script evaluation.
+Routines such as \fBTcl_Eval\fR are called to evaluate a
+script in an interpreter.  These routines return an integer
+completion code.  These routines also leave in the interpreter
+both a result and a dictionary of return options generated
+by script evaluation.  Just as \fBTcl_GetObjResult\fR retrieves
+the result, \fBTcl_GetReturnOptions\fR retrieves the dictionary
+of return options.  The integer completion code should be
+passed as the \fIcode\fR argument to \fBTcl_GetReturnOptions\fR
+so that all required options will be present in the dictionary.
+Specifically, a \fIcode\fR value of \fBTCL_ERROR\fR will
+ensure that entries for the keys \fB\-errorinfo\fR,
+\fB\-errorcode\fR, and \fB\-errorline\fR will appear in the
+dictionary.  Also, the entries for the keys \fB\-code\fR
+and \fB\-level\fR will be adjusted if necessary to agree
+with the value of \fIcode\fR.  The \fB(Tcl_Obj *)\fR returned
+by \fBTcl_GetReturnOptions\fR points to an unshared
+\fBTcl_Obj\fR with reference count of zero.  The dictionary
+may be written to, either adding, removing, or overwriting
+any entries in it, with the need to check for a shared object.
+.PP
+A typical usage for \fBTcl_GetReturnOptions\fR is to
+retrieve the stack trace when script evaluation returns
+\fBTCL_ERROR\fR, like so:
+.CS
+int code = Tcl_Eval(interp, script);
+if (code == TCL_ERROR) {
+    Tcl_Obj *options = Tcl_GetReturnOptions(interp, code);  
+    Tcl_Obj *key = Tcl_NewStringObj("-errorinfo", -1);
+    Tcl_Obj *stackTrace;
+    Tcl_IncrRefCount(key);
+    Tcl_DictObjGet(NULL, options, key, &stackTrace);
+    Tcl_DecrRefCount(key);
+    /* Do something with stackTrace */
+}
+.CE
+.PP
+\fBTcl_SetReturnOptions\fR sets the return options
+of \fIinterp\fR to be \fIoptions\fR.  If \fIoptions\fR
+contains any invalid value for any key, TCL_ERROR will
+be returned, and the interp result will be set to an
+appropriate error message.  Otherwise, a completion code
+in agreement with the \fB\-code\fR and \fB\-level\fR
+keys in \fIoptions\fR will be returned.
+.PP
+As an example, Tcl's \fBreturn\fR command itself could
+be implemented in terms of \fBTcl_SetReturnOptions\fR
+like so:
+.CS
+if ((objc % 2) == 0) { /* explicit result argument */
+    objc--;
+    Tcl_SetObjResult(interp, objv[objc]);
+}
+return Tcl_SetReturnOptions(interp, Tcl_NewListObj(objc-1, objv+1));
+.CE
+(It is not really implemented that way.  Internal access
+privileges allow for a more efficient alternative that meshes
+better with the bytecode compiler.)
+.PP
+Note that a newly created \fBTcl_Obj\fR may be passed
+in as the \fIoptions\fR argument without the need to tend
+to any reference counting.  This is analogous to
+\fBTcl_SetObjResult\fR.
+.PP
+While \fBTcl_SetReturnOptions\fR provides a general interface
+to set any collection of return options, there are a handful
+of return options that are very frequently used.  Most 
+notably the \fB\-errorinfo\fR and \fB\-errorcode\fR return
+options should be set properly when the command procedure
+of a command returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR.  Tcl provides several
+simpler interfaces to more directly set these return options.
+.VE 8.5
+.PP
+The \fB\-errorinfo\fR option holds a stack trace of the
 operations that were in progress when an error occurred,
 and is intended to be human-readable.
-The variable \fBerrorCode\fR holds a list of items that
+The \fB\-errorcode\fR option holds a list of items that

+The first item in the \fB\-errorcode\fR value identifies the class of

 of information that depend on the class.
-See the Tcl overview manual entry for details on the various
-formats for \fBerrorCode\fR.

+Tcl's built-in commands.

-Each time an error code is returned to \fBTcl_EvalObjEx\fR

-it calls the procedure \fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR to add

+any of the routines that performs script evaluation,

 command that was being executed when the error occurred.
 By the time the error has been passed all the way back
 to the application, it will contain a complete trace
 of the activity in progress when the error occurred.
 .PP
 It is sometimes useful to add additional information to
-\fBerrorInfo\fR beyond what can be supplied automatically
-by \fBTcl_EvalObjEx\fR.
-\fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR may be used for this purpose:
-its \fImessage\fR and \fIlength\fR arguments describe an additional
-string to be appended to \fBerrorInfo\fR.
-For example, the \fBsource\fR command calls \fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR
-to record the name of the file being processed and the
-line number on which the error occurred;
-for Tcl procedures, the procedure name and line number
+the \fB\-errorinfo\fR value beyond what can be supplied automatically
+by the script evaluation routines.
+\fBTcl_AddErrorInfo\fR may be used for this purpose:
+its \fImessage\fR argument is an additional
+string to be appended to the \fB\-errorinfo\fR option.
+For example, when an error arises during the \fBsource\fR command,
+the procedure \fBTcl_AddErrorInfo\fR is called to
+record the name of the file being processed and the
+line number on which the error occurred.
+Likewise, when an error arises during evaluation of a
+Tcl procedures, the procedure name and line number
 within the procedure are recorded, and so on.
-The best time to call \fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR is just after
-\fBTcl_EvalObjEx\fR has returned \fBTCL_ERROR\fR.
-In calling \fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR, you may find it useful to
-use the \fBerrorLine\fR field of the interpreter (see the
-\fBTcl_Interp\fR manual entry for details).
-.PP
-\fBTcl_AddErrorInfo\fR resembles \fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR
-but differs in initializing \fBerrorInfo\fR from the string
-value of the interpreter's result
-if the error is just starting to be logged.
-It does not use the result as a Tcl object
-so any embedded null characters in the result
-will cause information to be lost.
-It also takes a conventional C string in \fImessage\fR
-instead of \fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR's counted string.
+The best time to call \fBTcl_AddErrorInfo\fR is just after
+a script evaluation routine has returned \fBTCL_ERROR\fR.
+The value of the \fB\-errorline\fR return option (retrieved
+via a call to \fBTcl_GetReturnOptions\fR) often makes up
+a useful part of the \fImessage\fR passed to \fBTcl_AddErrorInfo\fR.
+.PP
+.VS 8.5
+\fBTcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo\fR is an alternative interface to the
+same functionality as \fBTcl_AddErrorInfo\fR.  \fBTcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo\fR
+is called when the string value to be appended to the \fB\-errorinfo\fR option
+is available as a \fBTcl_Obj\fR instead of as a \fBchar\fR array.
+.VE 8.5
+.PP
+\fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR is nearly identical
+to \fBTcl_AddErrorInfo\fR, except that it has an additional \fIlength\fR
+argument.  This allows the \fImessage\fR string to contain 
+embedded null bytes.  This is essentially never a good idea.
+If the \fImessage\fR needs to contain the null character \fBU+0000\fR,
+Tcl's usual internal encoding rules should be used to avoid
+the need for a null byte.  If the \fBTcl_AddObjErrorInfo\fR
+interface is used at all, it should be with a negative \fIlength\fR value.
 .PP
 The procedure \fBTcl_SetObjErrorCode\fR is used to set the
-\fBerrorCode\fR variable. \fIerrorObjPtr\fR contains a list object
-built up by the caller. \fBerrorCode\fR is set to this
-value. \fBTcl_SetObjErrorCode\fR is typically invoked just 
-before returning an error in an object command. If an error is

+\fBTcl_SetObjErrorCode\fR is typically invoked just

 .PP

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+Tcl dictionary objects have an internal representation that supports
+efficient mapping from keys to values and which guarantees that the
+particular ordering of keys within the dictionary remains the same
+modulo any keys being deleted (which removes them from the order) or
+added (which adds them to the end of the order). If reinterpreted as a
+list, the values at the even-valued indices in the list will be the
+keys of the dictionary, and each will be followed (in the odd-valued
+index) by the value associated with that key.
+.PP
+The procedures described in this man page are used to
+create, modify, index, and iterate over dictionary objects from C code.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_NewDictObj\fR creates a new, empty dictionary object.  The
+string representation of the object will be invalid, and the reference
+count of the object will be zero.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DictObjGet\fR looks up the given key within the given
+dictionary and writes a pointer to the value associated with that key
+into the variable pointed to by \fIvaluePtrPtr\fR, or a NULL if the
+key has no mapping within the dictionary.  The result of this
+procedure is \fBTCL_OK\fR, or \fBTCL_ERROR\fR if the \fIdictPtr\fR cannot be
+converted to a dictionary.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DictObjPut\fR updates the given dictionary so that the given
+key maps to the given value; any key may exist at most once in any
+particular dictionary.  The dictionary must not be shared, but the key
+and value may be.  This procedure may increase the reference count of
+both key and value if it proves necessary to store them.  Neither key
+nor value should be NULL.  The result of this procedure is \fBTCL_OK\fR, or
+\fBTCL_ERROR\fR if the \fIdictPtr\fR cannot be converted to a dictionary.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DictObjRemove\fR updates the given dictionary so that the given
+key has no mapping to any value.  The dictionary must not be shared,
+but the key may be.  The key actually stored in the dictionary will
+have its reference count decremented if it was present.  It is not an
+error if the key did not previously exist.  The result of this
+procedure is \fBTCL_OK\fR, or \fBTCL_ERROR\fR if the \fIdictPtr\fR cannot be
+converted to a dictionary.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DictObjSize\fR updates the given variable with the number of
+key/value pairs currently in the given dictionary. The result of this
+procedure is \fBTCL_OK\fR, or \fBTCL_ERROR\fR if the \fIdictPtr\fR cannot be
+converted to a dictionary.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DictObjFirst\fR commences an iteration across all the key/value
+pairs in the given dictionary, placing the key and value in the
+variables pointed to by the \fIkeyPtrPtr\fR and \fIvaluePtrPtr\fR
+arguments (which may be NULL to indicate that the caller is
+uninterested in they key or variable respectively.)  The next
+key/value pair in the dictionary may be retrieved with
+\fBTcl_DictObjNext\fR.  Concurrent updates of the dictionary's
+internal representation will not modify the iteration processing
+unless the dictionary is unshared, when this will trigger premature
+termination of the iteration instead (which Tcl scripts cannot trigger
+via the \fBdict\fR command.)  The \fIsearchPtr\fR argument points to a
+piece of context that is used to identify which particular iteration
+is being performed, and is initialized by the call to
+\fBTcl_DictObjFirst\fR.  The \fIdonePtr\fR argument points to a
+variable that is updated to be zero of there are further key/value
+pairs to be iterated over, or non-zero if the iteration is complete.
+The order of iteration is implementation-defined.  If the
+\fIdictPtr\fR argument cannot be converted to a dictionary,
+\fBTcl_DictObjFirst\fR returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR and the iteration is not
+commenced, and otherwise it returns \fBTCL_OK\fR.
+.PP
+When \fBTcl_DictObjFirst\fR is called upon a dictionary, a lock is placed on
+the dictionary to enable that dictionary to be iterated over safely without
+regard for whether the dictionary is modified during the iteration. Because of
+this, once the iteration over a dictionary's keys has finished (whether
+because all values have been iterated over as indicated by the variable
+indicated by the \fIdonePtr\fR argument being set to one, or because no
+further values are required) the \fBTcl_DictObjDone\fR function must be called
+with the same \fIsearchPtr\fR as was passed to \fBTcl_DictObjFirst\fR so that
+the internal locks can be released. Once a particular \fIsearchPtr\fR is
+passed to \fBTcl_DictObjDone\fR, passing it to \fBTcl_DictObjNext\fR (without
+first initializing it with \fBTcl_DictObjFirst\fR) will result in no values
+being produced and the variable pointed to by \fIdonePtr\fR being set to one.
+It is safe to call \fBTcl_DictObjDone\fR multiple times on the same
+\fIsearchPtr\fR for each call to \fBTcl_DictObjFirst\fR.
+.PP
+The procedures \fBTcl_DictObjPutKeyList\fR and
+\fBTcl_DictObjRemoveKeyList\fR are the close analogues of
+\fBTcl_DictObjPut\fR and \fBTcl_DictObjRemove\fR respectively, except
+that instead of working with a single dictionary, they are designed to
+operate on a nested tree of dictionaries, with inner dictionaries
+stored as values inside outer dictionaries.  The \fIkeyc\fR and
+\fIkeyv\fR arguments specify a list of keys (with outermost keys
+first) that acts as a path to the key/value pair to be affected.  Note
+that there is no corresponding operation for reading a value for a
+path as this is easy to construct from repeated use of
+\fBTcl_DictObjGet\fR. With \fBTcl_DictObjPutKeyList\fR, nested
+dictionaries are created for non-terminal keys where they do not
+already exist. With \fBTcl_DictObjRemoveKeyList\fR, all non-terminal
+keys must exist and have dictionaries as their values.

 .PP
-These procedures are used to create, modify, and read
-double Tcl objects from C code.
-\fBTcl_NewDoubleObj\fR and \fBTcl_SetDoubleObj\fR
-will create a new object of double type
-or modify an existing object to have double type. 
-Both of these procedures set the object to have the
-double-precision floating point value given by \fIdoubleValue\fR;
-\fBTcl_NewDoubleObj\fR returns a pointer to a newly created object
-with reference count zero.
-Both procedures set the object's type to be double
-and assign the double value to the object's internal representation
-\fIdoubleValue\fR member.
-\fBTcl_SetDoubleObj\fR invalidates any old string representation
-and, if the object is not already a double object,
-frees any old internal representation.
+These procedures are used to create, modify, and read Tcl objects that
+hold double-precision floating-point values.
 .PP
-\fBTcl_GetDoubleFromObj\fR attempts to return a double value
-from the Tcl object \fIobjPtr\fR.
-If the object is not already a double object,
-it will attempt to convert it to one.
-If an error occurs during conversion, it returns \fBTCL_ERROR\fR
-and leaves an error message in the interpreter's result object
-unless \fIinterp\fR is NULL.
-Otherwise, it returns \fBTCL_OK\fR and stores the double value
-in the address given by \fIdoublePtr\fR.
-If the object is not already a double object,
-the conversion will free any old internal representation.
-
+\fBTcl_NewDoubleObj\fR creates and returns a new Tcl object initialized to
+the double value \fIdoubleValue\fR.  The returned Tcl object is unshared.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_SetDoubleObj\fR sets the value of an existing Tcl object pointed to
+by \fIobjPtr\fR to the double value \fIdoubleValue\fR.  The \fIobjPtr\fR
+argument must point to an unshared Tcl object.  Any attempt to set the value
+of a shared Tcl object violates Tcl's copy-on-write policy.  Any existing
+string representation or internal representation in the unshared Tcl object
+will be freed as a consequence of setting the new value.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetDoubleFromObj\fR attempts to retrieve a double value from the
+Tcl object \fIobjPtr\fR.  If the attempt succeeds, then \fBTCL_OK\fR is
+returned, and the double value is written to the storage pointed to by
+\fIdoublePtr\fR.  If the attempt fails, then \fBTCL_ERROR\fR is returned,
+and if \fIinterp\fR is non-NULL, an error message is left in \fIinterp\fR.
+The \fBTcl_ObjType\fR of \fIobjPtr\fR may be changed to make subsequent
+calls to \fBTcl_GetDoubleFromObj\fR more efficient.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+An ensemble is a command, bound to some namespace, which consists of a
+collection of subcommands implemented by other Tcl commands. The first
+argument to the ensemble command is always interpreted as a selector
+that states what subcommand to execute.
+.PP
+Ensembles are created using \fBTcl_CreateEnsemble\fR, which takes four
+arguments: the interpreter to work within, the name of the ensemble to
+create, the namespace within the interpreter to bind the ensemble to,
+and the default set of ensemble flags. The result of the function is
+the command token for the ensemble, which may be used to further
+configure the ensemble using the API described below in \fBENSEMBLE
+PROPERTIES\fR.
+.PP
+Given the name of an ensemble command, the token for that command may
+be retrieved using \fBTcl_FindEnsemble\fR. If the given command name
+(in \fIcmdNameObj\fR) does not refer to an ensemble command, the
+result of the function is NULL and (if the TCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG bit is
+set in \fIflags\fR) an error message is left in the interpreter
+result.
+.PP
+A command token may be checked to see if it refers to an ensemble
+using \fBTcl_IsEnsemble\fR. This returns 1 if the token refers to an
+ensemble, or 0 otherwise.
+.SS "ENSEMBLE PROPERTIES"
+Every ensemble has four read-write properties and a read-only
+property. The properties are:
+.TP
+\fBflags\fR (read-write)
+The set of flags for the ensemble, expressed as a
+bit-field. Currently, the only public flag is TCL_ENSEMBLE_PREFIX
+which is set when unambiguous prefixes of subcommands are permitted to
+be resolved to implementations as well as exact matches. The flags may
+be read and written using \fBTcl_GetEnsembleFlags\fR and
+\fBTcl_SetEnsembleFlags\fR respectively. The result of both of those
+functions is a Tcl result code (TCL_OK, or TCL_ERROR if the token does
+not refer to an ensemble).
+.TP
+\fBmapping dictionary\fR (read-write)
+A dictionary containing a mapping from subcommand names to lists of
+words to use as a command prefix (replacing the first two words of the
+command which are the ensemble command itself and the subcommand
+name), or NULL if every subcommand is to be mapped to the command with
+the same unqualified name in the ensemble's bound namespace. Defaults
+to NULL. May be read and written using
+\fBTcl_GetEnsembleMappingDict\fR and \fBTcl_SetEnsembleMappingDict\fR
+respectively. The result of both of those functions is a Tcl result
+code (TCL_OK, or TCL_ERROR if the token does not refer to an
+ensemble) and the dictionary obtained from
+\fBTcl_GetEnsembleMappingDict\fR should always be treated as immutable
+even if it is unshared.
+.TP
+\fBsubcommand list\fR (read-write)
+A list of all the subcommand names for the ensemble, or NULL if this
+is to be derived from either the keys of the mapping dictionary (see
+above) or (if that is also NULL) from the set of commands exported by
+the bound namespace. May be read and written using
+\fBTcl_GetEnsembleSubcommandList\fR and
+\fBTcl_SetEnsembleSubcommandList\fR respectively. The result of both
+of those functions is a Tcl result code (TCL_OK, or TCL_ERROR if the
+token does not refer to an ensemble) and the list obtained from
+\fBTcl_GetEnsembleSubcommandList\fR should always be treated as
+immutable even if it is unshared.
+.TP
+\fBunknown subcommand handler command prefix\fR (read-write)
+A list of words to prepend on the front of any subcommand when the
+subcommand is unknown to the ensemble (according to the current prefix
+handling rule); see the \fBnamespace ensemble\fR command for more
+details. If NULL, the default behavior \- generate a suitable error
+message \- will be used when an unknown subcommand is encountered. May
+be read and written using \fBTcl_GetEnsembleUnknownHandler\fR and
+\fBTcl_SetEnsembleUnknownHandler\fR respectively. The result of both
+functions is a Tcl result code (TCL_OK, or TCL_ERROR if the token does
+not refer to an ensemble) and the list obtained from
+\fBTcl_GetEnsembleUnknownHandler\fR should always be treated as
+immutable even if it is unshared.
+.TP
+\fBbound namespace\fR (read-only)
+The namespace to which the ensemble is bound; when the namespace is
+deleted, so too will the ensemble, and this namespace is also the
+namespace whose list of exported commands is used if both the mapping
+dictionary and the subcommand list properties are NULL. May be read
+using \fBTcl_GetEnsembleNamespace\fR which returns a Tcl result code
+(TCL_OK, or TCL_ERROR if the token does not refer to an ensemble).

+handler functions. If no external handlers were set then this will
+return the standard handlers accessing and processing the native time
+of the OS. The arguments to the function are allowed to be NULL; and
+any argument which is NULL is ignored and not set.
+.PP
+Any handler pair specified has to return data which is consistent
+between them. In other words, setting one handler of the pair to
+something assuming a 10-times slowdown, and the other handler of the
+pair to something assuming a two-times slowdown is wrong and not
+allowed.
+.PP
+The set handler functions are allowed to run the delivered time
+backwards, however this should be avoided. We have to allow it as the
+native time can run backwards as the user can fiddle with the system
+time one way or other. Note that the insertion of the hooks will not
+change the behaviour of the Tcl core with regard to this situation,
+i.e. the existing behaviour is retained.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+Tcl's interpreter resource limit subsystem allows for close control
+over how much computation time a script may use, and is useful for
+cases where a program is divided into multiple pieces where some parts
+are more trusted than others (e.g. web application servers).
+.PP
+Every interpreter may have a limit on the wall-time for execution, and
+a limit on the number of commands that the interpreter may execute.
+Since checking of these limits is potentially expensive (especially
+the time limit), each limit also has a checking granularity, which is
+a divisor for an internal count of the number of points in the core
+where a check may be performed (which is immediately before executing
+a command and at an unspecified frequency between running commands,
+which can happen in empty-bodied \fBwhile\fR loops).
+.PP
+The final component of the limit engine is a callback scheme which
+allows for notifications of when a limit has been exceeded.  These
+callbacks can just provide logging, or may allocate more resources to
+the interpreter to permit it to continue processing longer.
+.PP
+When a limit is exceeded (and the callbacks have run; the order of
+execution of the callbacks is unspecified) execution in the limited
+interpreter is stopped by raising an error and setting a flag that
+prevents the \fBcatch\fR command in that interpreter from trapping
+that error.  It is up to the context that started execution in that
+interpreter (typically a master interpreter) to handle the error.
+.SH "LIMIT CHECKING API"
+.PP
+To check the resource limits for an interpreter, call
+\fBTcl_LimitCheck\fR, which returns \fBTCL_OK\fR if the limit was not
+exceeded (after processing callbacks) and \fBTCL_ERROR\fR if the limit was
+exceeded (in which case an error message is also placed in the
+interpreter result).  That function should only be called when
+\fBTcl_LimitReady\fR returns non-zero so that granularity policy is
+enforced.  This API is designed to be similar in usage to
+\fBTcl_AsyncReady\fR and \fBTcl_AsyncInvoke\fR.
+.PP
+When writing code that may behave like \fBcatch\fR in respect of
+errors, you should only trap an error if \fBTcl_LimitExceeded\fR
+returns zero.  If it returns non-zero, the interpreter is in a
+limit-exceeded state and errors should be allowed to propagate to the
+calling context.  You can also check whether a particular type of
+limit has been exceeded using \fBTcl_LimitTypeExceeded\fR.
+.SH "LIMIT CONFIGURATION"
+.PP
+To check whether a limit has been set (but not whether it has actually
+been exceeded) on an interpreter, call \fBTcl_LimitTypeEnabled\fR with
+the type of limit you want to check.  To enable a particular limit
+call \fBTcl_LimitTypeSet\fR, and to disable a limit call
+\fBTcl_LimitTypeReset\fR.
+.PP
+The level of a command limit may be set using
+\fBTcl_LimitSetCommands\fR, and retrieved using
+\fBTcl_LimitGetCommands\fR.  Similarly for a time limit with
+\fBTcl_LimitSetTime\fR and \fBTcl_LimitGetTime\fR respectively, but
+with that API the time limit is copied from and to the Tcl_Time
+structure that the \fItimeLimitPtr\fR argument points to.
+.PP
+The checking granularity for a particular limit may be set using
+\fBTcl_LimitSetGranularity\fR and retrieved using
+\fBTcl_LimitGetGranularity\fR.  Note that granularities must always be
+positive.
+.SS "LIMIT CALLBACKS"
+.PP
+To add a handler callback to be invoked when a limit is exceeded, call
+\fBTcl_LimitAddHandler\fR.  The \fIhandlerProc\fR argument describes
+the function that will actually be called; it should have the
+following prototype:
+.PP
+.CS
+typedef void Tcl_LimitHandlerProc(
+        ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
+        Tcl_Interp *\fIinterp\fR);
+.CE
+.PP
+The \fIclientData\fR argument to the handler will be whatever is
+passed to the \fIclientData\fR argument to \fBTcl_LimitAddHandler\fR,
+and the \fIinterp\fR is the interpreter that had its limit exceeded.
+.PP
+The \fIdeleteProc\fR argument to \fBTcl_LimitAddHandler\fR is a
+function to call to delete the \fIclientData\fR value.  It may be
+\fBTCL_STATIC\fR or NULL if no deletion action is necessary, or
+\fBTCL_DYNAMIC\fR if all that is necessary is to free the structure with
+\fBTcl_Free\fR.  Otherwise, it should refer to a function with the
+following prototype:
+.PP
+.CS
+typedef void Tcl_LimitHandlerDeleteProc(
+        ClientData \fIclientData\fR);
+.CE
+.PP
+A limit handler may be deleted using \fBTcl_LimitRemoveHandler\fR; the
+handler removed will be the first one found (out of the handlers added
+with \fBTcl_LimitAddHandler\fR) with exactly matching \fItype\fR,
+\fIhandlerProc\fR and \fIclientData\fR arguments.  This function
+always invokes the \fIdeleteProc\fR on the \fIclientData\fR (unless
+the \fIdeleteProc\fR was NULL or \fBTCL_STATIC\fR).

-.PP
-The described routines are used to implement the Macintosh specific

-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
-\fBTcl_MacEvalResource\fR extends the \fBsource\fR command to
-Macintosh resources.  It sources Tcl code from a Text resource.
-Currently only sources the resource by name, file IDs may be supported
-at a later date.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_MacConvertTextResource\fR converts a TEXT resource into a Tcl
-suitable string. It mallocs the returned memory, converts ``\\r'' to
-``\\n'', and appends a null. The caller has the responsibility for
-freeing the memory.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_MacFindResource\fR provides a higher level interface for
-loading resources. It is used by \fBresource read\fR.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_NewOSTypeObj\fR is used to create a new resource name type
-object. The object type is "ostype".
-.PP
-\fBTcl_SetOSTypeObj\fR modifies an object to be a resource type and to
-have the specified long value.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_GetOSTypeFromObj\fR attempts to return an int from the Tcl
-object "objPtr". If the object is not already an int, an attempt will
-be made to convert it to one.
-.PP
-\fBTcl_MacSetEventProc\fR sets the event handling procedure for the
-application. This function will be passed all incoming Mac events.
-This function usually controls the console or some other entity like
-Tk.
-
-.SH RESOURCE TYPES
-.PP
-Resource types are 4-byte values used by the macintosh resource
-facility to tag parts of the resource fork in a file so that the OS
-knows how to handle them. As all 4 bytes are restricted to printable
-characters such a type can be interpreted as a 4 character string too.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+Namespaces are hierarchic naming contexts that can contain commands
+and variables.  They also maintain a list of patterns that describes
+what commands are exported, and can import commands that have been
+exported by other namespaces.  Namespaces can also be manipulated
+through the Tcl command \fBnamespace\fR.
+.PP
+The \fITcl_Namespace\fR structure encapsulates a namespace, and is
+guaranteed to have the following fields in it: \fIname\fR (the local
+name of the namespace, with no namespace separator characters in it,
+with empty denoting the global namespace), \fIfullName\fR (the fully
+specified name of the namespace), \fIclientData\fR, \fIdeleteProc\fR
+(the values specified in the call to \fBTcl_CreateNamespace\fR), and
+\fIparentPtr\fR (a pointer to the containing namespace, or NULL for
+the global namespace.)
+.PP
+\fBTcl_CreateNamespace\fR creates a new namespace.  The
+\fIdeleteProc\fR will have the following type signature:
+.CS
+typedef void (Tcl_NamespaceDeleteProc) (ClientData clientData);
+.CE
+.PP
+\fBTcl_DeleteNamespace\fR deletes a namespace.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_AppendExportList\fR retrieves the export patterns for a
+namespace given namespace and appends them (as list items) to
+\fIobjPtr\fR.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_Export\fR sets and appends to the export patterns for a
+namespace.  Patterns are appended unless the \fIresetListFirst\fR flag
+is true.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_Import\fR imports commands matching a pattern into a
+namespace.  Note that the pattern must include the name of the
+namespace to import from.  This function returns an error if
+an attempt to import a command over an existing command is made,
+unless the \fIallowOverwrite\fR flag has been set.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_ForgetImport\fR removes imports matching a pattern.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetCurrentNamespace\fR returns the current namespace for an
+interpreter.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetGlobalNamespace\fR returns the global namespace for an
+interpreter.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_FindNamespace\fR searches for a namespace named \fIname\fR
+within the context of the namespace \fIcontextNsPtr\fR.  If the
+namespace cannot be found, NULL is returned.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_FindCommand\fR searches for a command named \fIname\fR within
+the context of the namespace \fIcontextNsPtr\fR.  If the command
+cannot be found, NULL is returned.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetNamespaceUnknownHandler\fR returns the unknown command handler
+for the namespace, or NULL if none is set.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_SetNamespaceUnknownHandler\fR sets the unknown command handler for
+the namespace. If \fIhandlerPtr\fR is NULL, then the handler is reset to
+its default.

+These restrictions are easily met by using Tcl's internal UTF encoding
+for the string representation, same as one would do for other

 Storage for the byte array must be allocated in the heap by \fBTcl_Alloc\fR
 or \fBckalloc\fR.  Note that \fIupdateStringProc\fRs must allocate
 enough storage for the string's bytes and the terminating null byte.
-The \fIupdateStringProc\fR for Tcl's builtin list type, for example,

 The \fIfreeIntRepProc\fR function can deallocate the storage
 for the object's internal representation

-For example, Tcl list objects have an \fIinternalRep.otherValuePtr\fR

-The list type's \fIfreeIntRepProc\fR decrements

-(since the list will no longer refer to those objects),
-then deallocates the storage for the array of pointers.
+.PP
+For example, the list type's \fIfreeIntRepProc\fR respects

+so that it only frees storage when the last object sharing it
+is being freed.
+.PP
 The \fIfreeIntRepProc\fR member can be set to NULL

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The function described here has its base in TIP 59 and provides
+extensions with support for the embedding of configuration
+information into their binary library and the generation of a
+Tcl-level interface for querying this information.
+.PP
+To embed configuration information into their binary library an
+extension has to define a non-volatile array of Tcl_Config entries in
+one if its source files and then call \fBTcl_RegisterConfig\fR to
+register that information.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_RegisterConfig\fR takes four arguments; first, a reference to
+the interpreter we are registering the information with, second, the
+name of the package registering its configuration information, third,
+a pointer to an array of structures, and fourth a string declaring the
+encoding used by the configuration values.
+.PP
+The string \fIvalEncoding\fR contains the name of an encoding known to
+Tcl.  All these names are use only characters in the ASCII subset of
+UTF-8 and are thus implicitly in the UTF-8 encoding. It is expected
+that keys are legible English text and therefore using the ASCII
+subset of UTF-8. In other words, they are expected to be in UTF-8
+too. The values associated with the keys can be any string
+however. For these the contents of \fIvalEncoding\fR define which
+encoding was used to represent the characters of the strings.
+.PP
+Each element of the \fIconfiguration\fR array refers to two strings
+containing the key and the value associated with that key. The end of
+the array is signaled by either an empty key or a key identical to
+NULL. The function makes \fBno\fR copy of the \fIconfiguration\fR
+array. This means that the caller has to make sure that the memory
+holding this array is never released. This is the meaning behind the
+word \fBnon-volatile\fR used earlier. The easiest way to accomplish
+this is to define a global static array of Tcl_Config entries. See the file
+.QW generic/tclPkgConfig.c
+in the sources of the Tcl core for an example.
+.PP
+When called \fBTcl_RegisterConfig\fR will
+.IP (1)
+create a namespace having the provided \fIpkgName\fR, if not yet
+existing.
+.IP (2)
+create the command \fBpkgconfig\fR in that namespace and link it to
+the provided information so that the keys from _configuration_ and
+their associated values can be retrieved through calls to
+\fBpkgconfig\fR.
+.PP
+The command \fBpkgconfig\fR will provide two subcommands, \fBlist\fR
+and \fBget\fR:
+.RS
+.TP
+::\fIpkgName\fR::\fBpkgconfig\fR list
+Returns a list containing the names of all defined keys.
+.TP
+::\fIpkgName\fR::\fBpkgconfig\fR get \fIkey\fR

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The current definition of a Tcl channel driver does not permit the
+direct return of arbitrary error messages, except for the setting and
+retrieval of channel options. All other functions are restricted to
+POSIX error codes.
+.PP
+The functions described here overcome this limitation. Channel drivers
+are allowed to use \fBTcl_SetChannelError\fR and
+\fBTcl_SetChannelErrorInterp\fR to place arbitrary error messages in
+\fBbypass areas\fI defined for channels and interpreters. And the
+generic I/O layer uses \fBTcl_GetChannelError\fR and
+\fBTcl_GetChannelErrorInterp\fR to look for messages in the bypass
+areas and arrange for their return as errors. The posix error codes
+set by a driver are used now if and only if no messages are present.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_SetChannelError\fR stores error information in the bypass area
+of the specified channel. The number of references to the \fBmsg\fR
+object goes up by one. Previously stored information will be
+discarded, by releasing the reference held by the channel. The channel
+reference must not be NULL.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_SetChannelErrorInterp\fR stores error information in the bypass
+area of the specified interpreter. The number of references to the
+\fBmsg\fR object goes up by one. Previously stored information will be
+discarded, by releasing the reference held by the interpreter. The
+interpreter reference must not be NULL.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetChannelError\fR places either the error message held in the
+bypass area of the specified channel into \fImsgPtr\fR, or NULL; and
+resets the bypass. I.e. after an invocation all following invocations
+will return NULL, until an intervening invocation of
+\fBTcl_SetChannelError\fR with a non-NULL message. The \fImsgPtr\fR
+must not be NULL. The reference count of the message is not touched.
+The reference previously held by the channel is now held by the caller
+of the function and it is its responsibility to release that reference
+when it is done with the object.
+.PP
+\fBTcl_GetChannelErrorInterp\fR places either the error message held
+in the bypass area of the specified interpreter into \fImsgPtr\fR, or
+NULL; and resets the bypass. I.e. after an invocation all following
+invocations will return NULL, until an intervening invocation of
+\fBTcl_SetChannelErrorInterp\fR with a non-NULL message. The
+\fImsgPtr\fR must not be NULL. The reference count of the message is
