-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:
-	* tests/expr-old.test: Re-wrote Tcl's [expr rand()] and [expr
-	srand($seed)] implementations, fixing a range error on some 64-bit
-	platforms. Added tests that detect the bug. The rewrite changes the
-	seed -> sequence map on 64-bit platforms, only for seed >= 2^31, a
-	slight incompatibility. [Bug 121072, Patch 102781]

-	* library/init.tcl:
-	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:
-	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:
-	* library/opt/optparse.tcl:
-	* library/opt/pkgIndex.tcl: Where [uplevel] is used in a proc to
-	evaluate a Tcl built-in command in the caller's context, the built-in
-	commands are now fully namespace-qualified. This prevents problems
-	when the caller context is in a namespace where the built-in command
-	name has been used by a command in the namespace. (For example,
-	[::ns::set] might be called instead of the intended [::set]). [Bug
-	119422, Patch 102545]
-
-2000-12-09  Jeff Hobbs  <jhobbs@interwoven.com>
-
-	* win/tclWinTime.c (CalibrationThread): added lint return value to
-	prevent compiler warning. [Bug 125005]
-
-	* docs/scan.n:
-	* tests/scan.test:
-	* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): changed %o and %x to use strtoul
-	instead of strtol to correctly preserve scan<>format conversion of
-	large integers. [Patch 102663, Bug 124600]
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Commited patch fixing
-	handling of {!<boolean>} in expressions. [Patch 102702]
-
-2000-12-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jhobbs@interwoven.com>
-
-	* library/init.tcl: Added support for PATHEXT variable in auto_execok,
-	recognizing the proper set of executable extensions on Windows. [Patch
-	102719]
-
-2000-12-08  Andreas Kupries  <a.kupries@westend.com>
-
-	* generic/tclEncoding.c (LoadTableEncoding): Changed dangerous code to
-	something less critical. This fixes [Bug 119417], part A without
-	affecting the speed when loading encodings.
-
-2000-12-08  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
-	* doc/open.n: Added xref to fconfigure and advice on the opening of
-	binary files. Should help prevent a recurrence of bugs like [Bug
-	124558]
-
-2000-12-07  Jeff Hobbs  <jhobbs@interwoven.com>
-
-	* generic/tcl.h: added note about need to updated
-	library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl with minor version increment.
-
-	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl: updated to use 84 version to reflect the
-	makefile. Should probably be updated to use its real version at some
-	point. [Patch 102560, Bug 119421]
-
-2000-12-06  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* generic/tcl.h (attemptckalloc): Fixed typo for #define of
-	attemptckalloc (was defined to Tcl_AttempDbCkalloc, should have been
-	Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc). [Bug 124384]
-
-	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: Added TCL_MEM_DEBUG versions of
-	Tcl_AttemptDbCkrealloc and Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc. [Bug 124384].
-
-2000-11-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Logical negation "!"  can
-	now handle string booleans, provided those values are placed in
-	variables.
-
-	* tests/expr.test (expr-13.17): Check that [expr {!$var}] can negate
-	the string-versions of booleans "yes", "false", etc.
-
-	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl (getMatchingFiles,
-	(getMatchingDirectories):
-	* tools/man2html.tcl (doDir):
-	* tools/man2help.tcl (doDir):
-	* library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown,tclMacPkgSearch):
-	* library/safe.tcl (AddSubDirs): [glob] uses -directory instead of
-	unsafe [file join]. [Bug 123313]
-
-	* generic/tclIndexObj.c:
-	* generic/tclTestObj.c (TestindexobjCmd): Changed internal
-	representation of index objects to fix [Bug 119082]; fix shouldn't be
-	visible to outside world...
-
-	* generic/tclTest.c (TestGetIndexFromObjStructObjCmd):
-	* tests/indexObj.test: (indexObj-6.*) Added to test for presence of
-	[Bug 119082].
-
-2000-11-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Fixed memory leak from [Bug
-	119398]
-
-	* library/init.tcl (unknown): Added specific level parameters to
-	all uplevel invokations to boost performance; didn't dare touch
-	the "namespace inscope" stuff though, since it looks sensitive
-	to me!  Should fix [Bug 123217], though testing is tricky...

-
-	All of the changes below are described in TIP #7 ~ Specification and
-	result from the application of the patch contained therein. Creator of
-	the patch is Kevin Kenny <kennykb@crd.ge.com>. The patch used here is
-	actually a bit different. Two MS specific constant values (format
-	FOOui64) were replaced with a more portable formatting of the values
-	and an additional cast to LONGLONG. My cross-compiling gcc was unable
-	to process the original form. [Patch 102459]
-
-	* tclWinTime.c: Add to the static data a set of variables that manage
-	the phase-locked techniques, including a ''CRITICAL_SECTION'' to guard
-	them so that multi-threaded code is stable.
-
-	* tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetSeconds'' to call ''TclpGetTime'' and
-	return the 'seconds' portion of the result. This change is necessary
-	to make sure that the two times are consistent near the rollover from
-	one second to another.
-
-	* tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetClicks'' to use TclpGetTime to
-	determine the click count as a number of microseconds.
-
-	* tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetTime'' to return the time as M*Q+B,
-	where Q is the result of ''QueryPerformanceCounter'', and M and B are
-	variables maintained by the phase-locked loop to keep the result as
-	close as possible to the system clock. The ''TclpGetTime'' call will
-	also launch the phase-lock management in a separate thread the first
-	time that it is invoked. If the performance counter is unavailable, or
-	if its frequency is not one of the two common 8254-compatible rates,
-	then ''TclpGetTime'' will return the result of ''ftime'' as it does in
-	Tcl 8.3.2.
-
-	* tclWinTime.c: Add the clock calibration procedure. The calibration
-	is somewhat complex; to save space, the reader is referred to the
-	reference implementation for the details of how the time base and
-	frequency are maintained.
-
-	* tclWinNotify.c: Modify ''Tcl_Sleep'' to test that the process has,
-	in fact, slept for the requisite time by calling ''TclpGetTime'' and
-	comparing with the desired time. Otherwise, roundoff errors may cause
-	the process to awaken early.
-
-	* tclWinTest.c: Add a ''testwinclock'' command. This command returns a
-	four element list comprising the seconds and microseconds portions of
-	the system clock and the seconds and microseconds portions of the Tcl
-	clock.
-
-	* winTime.test: Add to the test suite a test that makes sure that the
-	Tcl clock stays within 1.1 ms of the system clock over the duration of
-	the test.
-
-2000-11-21  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
-	* doc/global.n:
-	* doc/upvar.n:
-	* doc/variable.n: Improved documentation to mention that variables so
-	created are listed in [info locals] and added a few more cross-links
-	between these commands. [Bug 119387]
-
-2000-11-17  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
-	* tests/safe.test: (safe-4.3):
-	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): Changed again. Now passes all the
-	tests, though one needed modifying since it required the wrong answer.
-	(Why on earth do we have inline modification of argument strings? This
-	sort of thing is horrendous to debug and doesn't work well in a
-	multithreaded environment!) [Bug 119192]
-
-	* tests/var.test: (var-1.19) If my attempts to fix the problem aren't
-	right yet, my attempts to describe it look pretty good to me...
-
-2000-11-16  Andreas Kupries  <a.kupries@westend.com>
-
-	* win/tclWinPort.h (line 69): Changed reference to winsock2.h into
-	winsock.h. This was a leftover from a foray into using winsock version
-	2 (History lesson from Scott Redman and Jeff Hobbs). This code was no
-	problem when compiling Tcl itself, but could trip extensions. [Bug
-	122568]
-
-2000-11-15  Jeff Hobbs  <jeff.hobbs@acm.org>
-
-	* unix/Makefile.in: removed bp.c references (hasn't existed in a long
-	time). Corrected 'make dist' to make dist with unversioned library
-	directories (same as out of cvs), so make install works correctly with
-	either source tree.
-
-2000-11-15  Jeff Hobbs  <jeff.hobbs@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): reverted fix below as it broke all
-	other array unset error reporting.  Bug 119192 is still open.
-
-2000-11-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): Changed references to part2 to use
-	elName instead in various error message generating spots. [Bug 119192]
-
-2000-11-03  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* win/.cvsignore: Removed 'configure' from the glob list now that it's
-	included.
-
-2000-11-03  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	8.4a2 RELEASE
-
-	* unix/Makefile.in (install-libraries, dist):
-	* win/makefile.vc (install-libraries):
-	* win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): updated to install unversioned
-	library directories into versioned directories.
-
-	* tools/tcl.wse.in: updated for unversioning of library dirs
-
-	* unix/mkLinks: updated mkLinks with latest doc updates
-
-	* doc/Tcl_Main.3: added docs for Tcl_SetMainLoop
-
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
-	* generic/tclDecls.h:
-	* generic/tcl.decls: added Tcl_SetMainLoop proc that allows people to
-	set a main loop that will run for tclsh.
-	* generic/tcl.h: added Tcl_MainLoopProc typedef
-	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_SetMainLoop, StdinProc, Prompt): new
-	StdinProc and Prompt static procs and Tcl_SetMainLoop stubs proc. The
-	first two handle a fileevent based prompt (taken from tkMain.c).
-	Tcl_SetMainLoop enables the interactive setting of a main loop
-	procedure. This enables Tk to be a loadable package.
-
-2000-11-02  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* generic/tclEvent.c: tclLibraryPath Tcl_Obj didn't have a way to
-	share its data among threads. This caused Tcl_Init() to always fail in
-	threads. Added a way to pass the data around with a global char*.
-	[BUG: 5301]
-
-2000-11-02  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* unix/configure:
-	* unix/dltest/configure:
-	* win/configure:
-	* tools/configure: checked in configure scripts so people doing CVS
-	checkouts aren't required to have autoconf. Changes to configure.in in
-	the future will require the corresponding configure script to also be
-	re-autoconf'ed and checked in.
-
-	* win/makefile.vc:
-	* win/tcl.m4: makefile fixes for Win64 support
-
-	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): minor cast
-	changes.
-
-2000-11-01  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* unix/tcl.m4: removed use of -lbsd and -ldl for AIX-5.
-
-	* tests/subst.test: added tests for non-zero return code handling by
-	subst.
-	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_EvalEx): corrected handling of non-zero,
-	non-error return code cases for subst. [Bug 119829]
-
-	* generic/tclVar.c (TclVarTraceExists): Corrected excessive mem use
-	when info exists was called on a non-existent array element. [Bug
-	119213, 119336]
-
-2000-10-30  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* win/configure.in:
-	* win/Makefile.in:
-	* win/makefile.vc:
-	* win/tcl.rc:
-	* win/tclsh.rc: Added logic to derive filenames better in the resource
-	scripts based on compile options.
-
-2000-10-30  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: added default encoding map from "ja_JP.eucJP" to
-	"euc-jp". (takahashi)
-
-	* tests/clock.test: corrected clock-2.* test numbering
-
-	* unix/configure.in (SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS): removed code that was
-	commented out (it had been moved to tcl.m4's SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS
-	already).
-
-	* unix/tcl.m4: consolidated gettimeofday check for AIX.
-
-2000-10-27  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* unix/configure.in:
-	* unix/tcl.m4: added support for AIX-5.
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_NotifyChannel): removed #ifdef around code for
-	old channel structures, placed preserve/release around statePtr
-	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): the statePtr for a channel was not
-	being freed when the last channel in a stack was freed, causing a mem
-	leak.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: updated channel types to strict
-	TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_2 style to avoid compiler warnings. They work
-	either way, but this avoids compiler warnings (that worries people).
-
-2000-10-27  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Removed a cd into the test directory
-	in runAllTests that screwed up the temporary directory setting,
-	effectively preventing users from running tests on multiple platforms
-	at the same time.
-
-2000-10-26  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchFilesTypes): NULL was being set to "attr"
-	which was a DWORD. Changed NULL to zero because a 'void *' can't be
-	set to a DWORD to avoid the compiler warning.
-
-2000-10-24  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* tests/all.tcl: Removed support for tcltest 1.0.
-
-	* tests/tcltest.test:
-	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl:
-	* library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl:
-	* docs/tcltest.n: Moved tcltest2 code so that it's the standard
-	version of tcltest. Removed all tcltest2 files (tests/tcltest2.test,
-	library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl, docs/tcltest2.n).
-
-2000-10-20  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchFilesTypes): made the stat call only
-	occur when necessary (for 'glob' command). Significantly speeds up
-	glob command from 8.3. [BUG: 6216]
-
-2000-10-19  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl:
-	* tests/tcltest2
-	* doc/tcltest2.n: Code and documentation cleanup. Modified -verbose to
-	take list of keywords as well as string of letters. Removed Tcl
-	version information from tcltest. Removed tcltest::grep from tcltest
-	package. Added optional 3rd directory argument to
-	makeFile/makeDirectory and removeFile/removeDirectory.
-
-	* tests/basic.test: Changed references to tcltest::tclVersion to
-	hardcoded numbers.
-	* generic/tcl.h: Changed reference to tcltest2.tcl and tcltest.tcl in
-	comments to tests/basic.test.
-
-2000-10-06  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* win/tclWinChan.c: moved Win2K bug case test with GetStdHandle() from
-	TclpGetDefaultStdChannel into Tcl_MakeFileChannel to enable a more
-	general method in detecting invalid OS handles rather than just a
-	specific known case. [BUG: 5971]
-
-2000-10-06  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* tests/cmdAH.test: extra tests for 'file channels' that include
-	multiple interpreter tests and channel sharing
-	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetChannelNamesEx): corrected function (and
-	consequently 'file channels') to return channels that are actually
-	registered for this specific interp, rather than this thread.
-
-	* doc/CrtChannel.3: fixed spelling mistakes
-
-2000-09-29  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl:
-	* tests/tcltest2.test:
-	* doc/tcltest2.n: Modified the new form of the test command to accept
-	both attribute-value pairs and command line options. Updated the tests
-	and the documentation for this new format. Also changed the option
-	names for the test command.
-
-2000-09-29  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
-
-	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialGetOptionProc): corrected reporting of
-	space parity on Windows (Eason) [Bug 6057].
-
-	* win/Makefile.in: commented use of TESTFLAGS
-	* unix/Makefile.in: added TESTFLAGS to test target to conform with
-	Windows makefile and TEA style.
-
-	* tests/stack.test: prevented possible crash on systems with low
-	default stacksize (Tru64, AIX) in infinite recursion test. A solution
-	to check remaining stack space in the core is best, but hard to do in
-	a cross-platform manner.
-
-	* generic/tclIOGT.c (FLUSH_DELAY): renamed DELAY define to FLUSH_DELAY
-	to avoid defn conflict using Tru64's cc.
-
-2000-09-28  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* tools/tcl.wse.in: added tclPlatDecls.h and tkPlatDecls.h to the
-	Windows .exe install.
-
-	* tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-6.20): corrected test to remove c:/tcl8975@
-	after creating it.
-
-	* tests/fileName.test: cleaned up the testing of glob patterns for
-	c:/globTest (Windows) to directly create/remove directory.
-
-2000-09-27  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* generic/tcl.decls:
-	* generic/tclIO.c: updated Tcl_IsChannelShared,
-	Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel,
-	Tcl_IsChannelExisting, and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers to conform to the
-	new stacked channel implementation. Their stub slots were also moved
-	to give preference to the new 8.3.2 stub functions. This will cause an
-	incompatibility with 8.4a1 only.
-	(StopCopy): fixed a bug introduced by a partial fix in 8.3.2 that
-	didn't set nonBlocking correctly when resetting the flags for the
-	write side. [Bug: 6261]
-
-	* doc/ChnlStack.3:
-	* doc/CrtChannel.3:
-	* generic/tcl.decls:
-	* generic/tcl.h:
-	* generic/tclDecls.h:
-	* generic/tclIO.c:
-	* generic/tclIO.h:
-	* generic/tclIOGT.c:
-	* generic/tclInt.decls:
-	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

-	* tests/iogt.test:
-	* unix/Makefile.in:
-	* win/Makefile.in:
-	* win/makefile.vc:

-	* win/tclWinChan.c:
-	* win/tclWinConsole.c:
-	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
-	* win/tclWinSerial.c:
-	* win/tclWinSock.c: Up-port of changes made in 8.3.2 to 8.4a2 code
-	base. Most of these changes relate to the rewrite of the stacked
-	channel implementation, with a few config related fixes.
-
-	Following is an asynchronous include of the applicable ChangeLog
-	entries from 8.3.2.
-
-	********************************************************
-	** START OF ASYNCHRONOUS UP-PORT LOG (8.3.2 -> 8.4a2) **
-	********************************************************
-
-2000-08-07  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
-
-	* doc/ChnlStack.3:
-	* doc/CrtChannel.3: updated the docs to be aware of the
-	TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_2 style of Tcl channels.
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CreateChannel): added assertion to verify that
-	the new channel versioning will be binary compatible with older
-	channel drivers.
-
-2000-08-05  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
-
-	* generic/tclIOGT.c (TclChannelTransform): fixed segfault that would
-	occur when transforming a channel with a proc that did not yet exist.
-	(Kupries)
-
-	* generic/tclTest.c (TestChannelCmd): added some lint init'ing of
-	statePtr and chan vars.
-
-2000-07-26  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
-
-	Merged core-8-3-1-io-rewrite back into core-8-3-1-branch. The
-	core-8-3-1-io-rewrite branch should now be considered defunct.
-
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
-	* generic/tclDecls.h:
-	* generic/tcl.decls:
-	* generic/tcl.h:
-	* generic/tclIO.c: moved the Tcl_Channel* macros from tcl.h to tclIO.c
-	and made them proper stubbed functions. These are: Tcl_ChannelName,
-	Tcl_ChannelVersion, Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc, Tcl_ChannelCloseProc,
-	Tcl_ChannelClose2Proc, Tcl_ChannelInputProc, Tcl_ChannelOutputProc,
-	Tcl_ChannelSeekProc, Tcl_ChannelSetOptionProc,
-	Tcl_ChannelGetOptionProc, Tcl_ChannelWatchProc,
-	Tcl_ChannelGetHandleProc, Tcl_ChannelFlushProc, and
-	Tcl_ChannelHandlerProc. These should be used to access the
-	Tcl_ChannelType structure instead of direct pointer dereferencing.
-
-	* tests/iogt.test: added RCS string, marked tests 2.* to be unixOnly
-	due to underlying system differences.
-
-2000-07-25 Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>
-
-	* tests/iogt.test: (line 866f) New tests iogt-6.[01], highlighting
-	buffering trouble when stacking and unstacking transformations.
-	iogt-6.0 is solved, see the changes below. iogt-6.1 remains, for now,
-	due to the perceived complexity of solutions.
-
-	* generic/tclIO.h: (line 139f) struct Channel, added a buffer queue,
-	to hold data pushed back when stacking a transformation.
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c:
-	(line 91f, line 7434f) New internal function 'CopyBuffer'.  Derived
-	from 'CopyAndTranslateBuffer', with translation removed.
-	(line 1025f, line 1212f): Initialization of new queue.
-	(line 1164f, Tcl_StackChannel): Pushback of input queue.
-	(line 1293f, Tcl_UnstackChannel): Discard input and pushback.
-	(line 3748f, Tcl_ReadRaw): Modified to use data in the push back area
-	before going to the driver. Uses 'CopyBuffer', s.a.
-	(line 4702f, GetInput): Modified to use data in the push back area
-	before going to the driver.
- 	(line 4867f, Tcl_Seek): Modified to take pushback of the topmost
-	channel in a stack into account.
-	(line 5620f, Tcl_InputBuffered): See above. Added
-	'Tcl_ChannelBuffered'. Analog to 'Tcl_InputBuffered' but for the
-	buffer area in the channel.
-
-	* generic/tcl.decls: New public API 'Tcl_ChannelBuffered'. S.a.
-
-2000-07-17  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
-
-	* unix/Makefile.in:
-	* win/Makefile.in:
-	* win/makefile.vc: added tclIOGT.c to objects list to compile.
-
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
-	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
-	* generic/tclInt.decls: commented out internal decls for
-	TclTestChannelCmd and TclTestChannelEventCmd as they were moved to
-	tclTest.c. Added new decls for TclChannelEventScriptInvoker and
-	TclChannelTransform.
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): stopped masking out of the
-	TCL_READABLE|TCL_WRITABLE bits from the state flags in CloseChannel,
-	instead adding extra intelligence to CheckChannelErrors with a new
-	CHANNEL_RAW_MODE bit for special behavior when called from Raw channel
-	APIs.
-
-2000-07-13  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (StackSetBlockMode): moved set of chanPtr outside of
-	blockModeProc check to avoid infinite loop when blockModeProc was
-	NULL. Updated TransformSeekProc to not call Tcl_Seek directly
-	(Kupries).
-
-	* win/tclWinChan.c: updated fileChannelType to v2 channel struct
-	* win/tclWinConsole.c: updated consoleChannelType to v2 channel struct
-	* win/tclWinPipe.c: updated pipeChannelType to v2 channel struct
-	* win/tclWinSerial.c: updated serialChannelType to v2 channel struct
-	* win/tclWinSock.c: updated tcpChannelType to v2 channel struct
-
-2000-07-11  Brent Welch	<welch@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* win/tclConfig.sh.in (TCL_LIBS): Cleaned up unix-specific autoconf
-	variables.
-
-2000-07-11  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
-
-	* tests/iogt.test: made tests [345].0 not run by default as they were
-	failing in the new design, but I'm not convinced that the returned
-	result isn't correct.
-
-	* generic/tclDecls.h:
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
-	* generic/tcl.decls: added Tcl_GetTopChannel C API that returns the
-	current top channel of a channel stack. Tcl_GetChannel was changed
-	earlier to return the bottommost channel of a stack because that is
-	the one that is guaranteed to stay around the longest, and this was
-	needed to compensate for certain operations that want to look at the
-	state of the main channel. Most channel APIs already compensate for
-	grabbing the top, so it shouldn't be needed often.
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_StackChannel, Tcl_UnstackChannel): Added
-	flushing of buffers (Kupries), removed use of DownChannel macro, added
-	Tcl_GetTopChannel public API to get to the top channel of the channel
-	stack (necessary for TLS). Rewrote Tcl_NotifyChannel for new channel
-	design (Kupries). Did some code cleanup in the transform code.
-	tclIO.c must still be broken into bits (separate out test code and
-	giot code, create tclIO.h).
-
-2000-07-10  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>
-
-	* tests/iogt.test: Reverted some earlier changes as a fix by Jeff
-	revived the original and correct behaviour. IOW, the tests showed a
-	genuine error and I didn't see it :(.
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Read|Write_Raw): Changed to directly use the
-	drivers and not DoRead|DoWrite. The latter use the buffering system,
-	encoding and eol-translation and this wreaks havoc with the data going
-	through the transformations. Both procedures use CheckForchannelErrors
-	and let it believe that there is no background copy in progress or
-	else stacked channels could not be used for that.
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (TclCopyChannel, CopyData): Moved access to the
-	topmost channel from the first to the second procedure to make the
-	decision about that at the last possible time (Callbacks can change
-	the stacking).
-
-	test suite: failures of iogt-[345].0
-
-2000-07-06  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
-
-	* tests/iogt.test: new tests for stacked channel stuff based off new
-	'testchannel transform|unstack' code (Kupries IOGT extension).
-	* generic/tcl.decls:
-	* generic/tcl.h:
-	* generic/tclDecls.h:
-	* generic/tclStubsInit.c:
-	* generic/tclIO.c: complete rewrite of Tcl Channel code for stacked
-	channels. Channels are now designed to work in a more stacked fashion
-	with a shared ChannelState data structure.
-
-2000-06-02  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): removed the &ing out of
-	(TCL_READABLE|TCL_WRITABLE) from the flags, as CloseChannel does this
-	on the next pass through for the top channel, and it appeared to be
-	causing hangs by not allowing the final flush.
-
-2000-06-01  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): Rewrote CloseChannel code to unstack
-	a channel during the close process. Fixed a refcount bug in
-	Tcl_UnstackChannel. [Bug: 5623]
-	(CloseChannel): further extended CloseChannel in the stacked case to
-	effect certain operations on the next channel that would have been
-	done in Tcl_Close.  Also added CHANNEL_CLOSED and removed
-	(TCL_READABLE|TCL_WRITABLE) bits from chanPtr->flags. Changed final
-	reset of the WatchProc to check the chanDownPtr's (next) interestMask.

-
-	* tests/socket.test: removed doTestsWithRemoteServer constraint from
-	socket-12.*. It requires 'exec', not a remote server. Cleaned up some
-	coding errors.
-
-2000-09-20  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: Updated to load tcltest 2.0.
-	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl: New version of tcltest.
-	Cleanup of command line parsing: allows users to specify command line
-	arguments through an environment variable named TCLTEST_OPTIONS [RFE:
-	3748], does not respond to incorrect arguments, and forces usage of
-	entire flag name when using command line arguments. Defines accessor
-	procs for all tcltest variables. Allows users to use 'return' in test
-	scripts. Allow users to specify whether test files should be sourced
-	or run in a separate process. 'all.tcl' code moved to tcltest package.
-	'test' proc modified to use attribute-value pairs. Allow users to
-	specify what return codes, output, and errors can be compared and
-	whether these values should be compared using regexp, glob, or exact
-	matching. makeDirectory & removeDirectory now operate with respect to
-	temporaryDirectory [Bug: 6001]. Test results from tests run in slave
-	interpreters are now included in test totals [Bug: 1493]. Test files
-	that return error values are now reported.
-	* tests/all.tcl: Added code to check for the tcltest version loaded;
-	modified to figure out which tests to run based on the tcltest version
-	loaded.
-	* tests/tcltest.test: Modified to explicitly load version 1.0 of
-	tcltest.
-	* tests/tcltest2.test: New test suite for tcltest; includes all of the
-	old tests plus new ones reflecting changes made for version 2.0.
-	* tests/cmdAH.test: Added singleTestInterp constraint to cmdAH-31.2;
-	this test does not run if tests aren't sourced into a single
-	interpreter.
-	* tests/socket.test: Fixed two tests that were referencing variables
-	outside of scope.
-
-	* tools/tcl.wse.in: Added code to install tcltest2.tcl.
-
-	* doc/tcltest2.n: New documentation for tcltest version 2.0. Removes
-	documentation for tcltest namespace variables. Adds documentation for
-	new tcltest procs.
-
-	* unix/mkLinks: Added code to link to tcltest2.n.
-
-	* generic/tcl.h: Added comment to modify tcltest2.tcl as well as
-	tcltest.tcl for version changes.
-
-2000-09-19  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): When using -all, all attempts
-	after the first to match the regexp against the string should include
-	the TCL_REG_NOTBOL flag, to avoid erroneously matching ^ in the middle
-	of the string. Added code to set this flag after the first pass
-	through the matching loop. [Bug: 6284].
-
-2000-09-19  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* doc/Eval.3: Added a note about the script argument to Tcl_Eval()

-	combinations of upper ascii can be valid UTF-8 special codes.
-
-2000-09-17  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* tests/cmdIL.test: Added a test for fix for [Bug: 6212].
-
-	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Applied patch from [Bug:

-
-2000-09-14  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* doc/Alloc.3: Added entries for Tcl_AttemptAlloc, Tcl_AttempRealloc.

-
-	* generic/tclDecls.h:
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regen'ed stubs files from new tcl.decls.
-
-	* generic/tcl.decls: Added stubs for the Tcl_Attempt* memory
-	allocators and for Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength.
-
-	* generic/tcl.h: Added #define's for attemptckalloc, attemptckrealloc,
-	which map to the Tcl_Attempt* memory allocators.
-
-	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: Added non-panic'ing versions of Tcl_Alloc,
-	Tcl_Realloc, etc.; these are called Tcl_AttemptAlloc,
-	Tcl_AttemptRealloc, etc. These are used by Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength and
-	the string obj append functions.
-
-	* generic/tclStringObj.c: Modified string growth algorithm to use
-	doubling algorithm as long as possible, and only fall back when that
-	fails. Added Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength, and modified
-	AppendUnicodeToUnicodeRep, AppendUtfToUtfRep, and
-	Tcl_AppendStringsToObjVA to support this.
-
-2000-09-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* win/.cvsignore: changed the glob patterns a bit to exclude VC++
-	project conversion backups.
-
-	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Stage-1 bug fix for TR#2460 "exec leaks memory".
-	Added more logic around the close-down of the pipe reader thread so as
-	to avoid, at all cost, a TerminateThread. Most cases with exec are
-	fixed, but I don't consider 2460 done yet. Closing down the read side
-	of a pipe before the child process, doesn't really fit the windows
-	model. [BUG: 2460]
-
-2000-09-07  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
-
-	* doc/trace.n: minor doc cleanup

-
-2000-09-06  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
-
-	* win/tclWinLoad.c (TclpLoadFile): added special message for
-	ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND exception in loading a dll.
-	* win/tclWinError.c: changed ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND to map from ESRCH
-	(POSIX: no such process) to EINVAL because there is no good mapping
-	for "procedure not found".

-	* win/configure.in: updated patchlevel to 8.4a2
-
-	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): Removed WNOHANG from
-	Tcl_WaitPid call in error case of process creation on Unix, as it
-	would lead to defunct processes. [Bug: 6148]
-
-	* tests/string.test: extended string repeat tests
-	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): changed STR_REPEAT to
-	preallocate the full space of the final string, avoided repeated
-	appends.
-
-	* doc/source.n:
-	* doc/Eval.3: added extra note about how to safe use ^Z in code, as it
-	is now a cross-platform (was just Windows) EOF char.
-
-2000-09-05  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
-
-	* generic/tclHash.c: fixed pedantic warning of incorrectly placed
-	#endif
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): INST_STR_INDEX fixed
-	pedantic cast warning.
-	Corrected support for building with -DTCL_COMPILE_STATS.

-
-2000-08-29  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* generic/tclStringObj.c: Applied patch from Gerhard Hintermayer to
-	provide a more conservative string growth algorithm for strings larger
-	than one megabyte; this allows more efficient use of memory for very
-	large strings.
-
-2000-08-25  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* tests/trace.test: Extended array tracing tests.
-
-	* doc/trace.n: Clarified information about when array traces will be
-	fired.
-
-	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): Corrected call to CallTraces
-	(for TCL_TRACE_ARRAY) to only be called when the variable is either an
-	array or is undefined, to ensure that array traces do not fire for
-	scalar variables.
-
-2000-08-24  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

-	* win/README: Add note about building with Cygwin.
-	* win/configure.in:
-	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_GCC): Remove --enable-gcc option. Remove quick
-	hack that provided cross compile support for windows builds.
-
-2000-08-24  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	Overall change: Added support for command rename/delete traces and new
-	trace syntax, from patch from Vince Darley. Added support for array
-	traces for variables. [RFE: 5048, 5967].
-
-	* doc/trace.n: Updated documentation for new syntax; flagged old
-	syntax as deprecated; added documentation for command rename/delete
-	traces and variable array traces.
-
-	* tests/trace.test: Updated tests for new trace syntax; new tests for
-	command rename/delete traces; new tests for array traces.
-
-	* generic/tclVar.c: Support for new trace syntax; support for
-	TCL_TRACE_ARRAY.
-
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
-	* generic/tclDecls.h:
-	* generic/tcl.decls: Stub functions for command rename/delete traces.

-	trace {add|remove|list} {variable|command} name ops command
-	Added support for command traces (rename, delete operations).
-	Added support for TCL_TRACE_ARRAY at Tcl level (array operation for
-	variable traces).
-
-2000-08-20  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* generic/tclVar.c: Added check for non-arrays for [array statistics]
-	command (patch from Mark Patton).
-
-2000-08-19  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h: without a previous '#include <windows.h>',
-	tclPlatDecls.h can't be parsed due to a missing definition of TCHAR.
-	Added a check to include it when not defined.
-
-	***POSSIBLE OBSCURE BUG*** could be caused when the compile flags for
-	the core happen to be different than a project who uses these publics
-	regarding -D_MBCS and -D_UNICODE. This added check might have to be
-	revisited later with a better understanding of the reprocusions. I
-	think TCHAR should be replaced with it's expansion.
-
-2000-08-18  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>
-

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

-	platform-specific stubs declarations (Tcl_WinTCharToUtf, etc)
-	[Bug: 5241].
-
-	* README: Updated link for instructions on compiling Tcl from sources
-	to point to correct location (http://dev.scriptics.com/doc/... instead

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

-
-2000-07-25  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
-
-	* generic/tclVar.c (CallTraces): Added check for VAR_TRACE_ACTIVE on

-	which states that while executing a trace, other traces on that
-	variable are disabled. [Bug: 6049].

-
-	* tests/http.test
-	* doc/http.n
-	* library/http2.3/http.tcl: Fixed bug 5741, where unsuccessful geturl
-	calls sometimes leaked memory and resources (sockets). Also, switched
-	around some of the logic so that http::wait never throws an exception.
-	This is because in an asynchronous geturl, the command callback will
-	probably end up doing all the error handling anyway, and in an
-	asynchronous situation, the user expects to check the state when the
-	transaction completes, as opposed to being thrown an exception.	For
-	the http package, this menas the user can check http::status for
-	"error" and http::error for the error message after doing the
-	http::wait.

-
-	Overall changes:
-	  (1) Implementation of joinable threads for all platforms.
-	  (2) Additional API's for channels. Required to allow the thread
-	      extension to move channels between threads.
-
-	* generic/tcl.decls (lines 1360f): Added Tcl_JoinThread,
-	Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_CutChannel,
-	Tcl_SpliceChannel, Tcl_IsChannelExisting and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers
-	(slots 394 to 400).
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c: Implemented Tcl_IsChannelRegistered,
-	Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel,
-	Tcl_IsChannelExisting and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers.  Tcl_CutChannel
-	uses code from CloseChannel. Replaced this code by a call to
-	Tcl_CutChannel. Replaced several code fragments adding channels to
-	the channel list with calls to Tcl_SpliceChannel. Removed now unused
-	variables from CloseChannel and Tcl_UnstackChannel.
-	Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers uses code from Tcl_Close. Replaced this code
-	by a call to Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers. Removed now unused variables
-	from Tcl_Close. Added the subcommands 'cut', 'forgetch', 'splice' and
-	'isshared' to the test code (TclTestChannelCmd).
-
-	* unix/tclUnixThread.c: Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using the
-	pthread-functionality.
-
-	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Fixed several small typos in comments.
-	Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using a platform independent emulation
-	layer (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c below). Added 'joinLock' to
-	serialize Tcl_CreateThread and TclpExitThread to prevent a race for
-	joinable threads.
-
-	* mac/tclMacThrd.c: Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using a platform
-	independent emulation layer (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c below). Due
-	to the cooperative nature of threading on this platform the race
-	mentioned above is not present.
-
-	* generic/tclThreadJoin.c: New file. Contains a platform independent
-	emulation layer helping in the implementation of joinable threads for
-	the win and mac platforms.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h: Added declarations for TclJoinThread,
-	TclRememberJoinableThread and TclSignalExitThread. These procedures
-	define the API of the emulation layer for joinable threads (see
-	generic/tclThreadJoin.c above).
-
-	* win/Makefile.in:
-	* win/makefile.vc: Added generic/tclTheadJoin.o to the rules.
-
-	* mac/: I don't know to which file generic/tclTheadJoin.o has to be
-	added to so that it compiles. Sorry.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: #ifdef'd the thread-local list of file channels
-	as it prevents us from transfering channels. To restore this we may
-	need an extended interface to drivers in the future. Target:
-	9.0. Found while testing the new transfer of channels. The information
-	in this list for a channel was left behind and then crashed the system
-	during finalization.
-
-	* generic/tclThreadTest.c: Added -joinable flag to 'testthread
-	create'. Added subcommand 'testthread join'.
-
-	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Added documentation for Tcl_IsChannelRegistered,
-	Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel,
-	Tcl_IsChannelExisting and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers.
-
-	* doc/Thread.3: Added documentation for Tcl_JoinThread.

-
-	* unix/mkLinks: Regen'd with new mkLinks.tcl.
-
-	* unix/mkLinks.tcl: Fixed indentation, made link setup more
-	intelligent (only do one existance test per man page, instead of one
-	per function).
-
-	* doc/library.n: Fixed .SH NAME macro to include each function
-	documented on the page, so that mkLinks will know about the functions
-	listed there, and so that the Windows help file index will get set up
-	correctly [Bug: 1898, 5273].

-	These changes make some error handling marginally better for Mac

-	caller only finds out about a given error from one place).  Also,
-	fixed http::ncode so that it actually gives you back the http return
-	code (i.e. 200, 404, etc.) instead of the first digit of the version
-	of HTTP being used (i.e. 1).

-2000-04-21  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>
-
-	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: More thrashing with the "server closes
-	without reading post data" scenario. Reverted to the previous filevent
-	configuratiuon, which seems to work better with small amounts of post
-	data.

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

-
-2000-04-09  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>
-
-	* lib/httpd2.1/http.tcl: Worked on the "server closes before reading
-	post data" case, which unfortunately causes different error cases on
-	Solaris, which can read the reply, and Linux and Windows, which cannot
-	read anything. This is all in the loop-back case - client and server
-	on the same host. Also unified the error handling so the "ioerror"
-	status goes away and errors are reflected in a more uniform way.
-	Updated the man page to document the behavior.
-
-2000-04-09  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

-	* tests/reg.test (matchexpected): corrected tests to use tcltest
-	constraint types to skip certain tests.
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_SetCommandInfo): comment fix
-
-	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread): moved TCL_THREADS ifdef
-	inside of func as it is declared for non-threads builds as well. In
-	the non-threads case, it always returns TCL_ERROR (couldn't create
-	thread).
-
-2000-04-08  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>
-
-	* Overall change: Definition of a public API for the creation of
-	new threads.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h (line 1802f): Removed the definition of
-	'TclpThreadCreate'. (line 793f) Removed the definition of
-	'Tcl_ThreadCreateProc'.
-
-	* generic/tcl.h (line 388f): Readded the definition of
-	'Tcl_ThreadCreateProc'. Added Win32 stuff send in by David Graveraux
-	<davygrvy@bigfoot.com> to that too (__stdcall, ...). Added macros for
-	the default stacksize and allowed flags.
-
-	* generic/tcl.decls (line 1356f): Added definition of
-	'Tcl_CreateThread', slot 393 of the stub table. Two new arguments in
-	the public API, for stacksize and flags.
-
-	* win/tclWinThrd.c:
-	* mac/tclMacThrd.c: Renamed TclpThreadCreate to Tcl_CreateThread,
-	added handling of the stacksize. Flags are currently ignored.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: See above, but handles joinable flag. Ignores
-	the specified stacksize if the macro HAVE_PTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE is
-	not defined.
-
-	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (line 363): See below.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (line 210): Adapted to the changes above. Uses
-	default stacksize and no flags now.
-
-	* unic/tcl.m4 (line 382f): Added a check for
-	'pthread_attr_setstacksize' to detect platforms not implementing this
-	feature of pthreads. If it is implemented, configure will define the
-	macro HAVE_PTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE (See unix/tclUnixThrd.c too).
-
-	* doc/Thread.3: Added Tcl_CreateThread and its arguments to the list
-	of described functions. Removed stuff about not providing a public
-	C-API for thread-creation.
-
-2000-04-07  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
-
-	* doc/binary.n: clarified docs on sign extension in binary scan [Bug:
-	3466]
-
-	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl (initConstraints): removed win32s
-	references (no longer supported)
-
-	* tests/fCmd.test: marked test 8.1 knownBug because it is dangerous on
-	poorly configured systems [Bug: 3881] and added 8.2 to keep essence of
-	8.1 tested.
-
-2000-04-05  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_UnstackChannel, line 1831): Forcing interest
-	mask to the correct value after an unstack and re-initialization of
-	the notifier via the watchProc. Without this the first fileevent after
-	an unstack will come through and be processed, but no more. [Bug: ??].

-	regenerated the tclStubInit.c file
-
-2000-03-29  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>
-
-	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: For the -querychannel option, fconfigure
-	the socket to be binary so that we don't translate anything while
-	reading the data. This is because we determine the content length of
-	the data on the channel by using seek (to the end of the file) and
-	tell on the file handle, and we need the content-length to match the
-	amount of data actually sent, and translation can affect the number of
-	bytes posted.
-
-2000-04-03  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>
-
-	* Overall change: Definition of public API's for the finalization of
-	conditions and mutexes. [Bug: 4199].
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h: Removed definitions of TclFinalizeMutex and
-	TclFinalizeCondition.
-
-	* generic/tcl.decls: Added declarations of Tcl_MutexFinalize and

-
-	* generic/tclThread.c: Renamed TclFinalizeMutex to Tcl_MutexFinalize.

-	Tcl_MutexFinalize.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
-	* generic/tclThreadTest.c: Changed usages of TclFinalizeCondition to
-	Tcl_ConditionFinalize.
-
-	* generic/tcl.h: Added empty macros for Tcl_MutexFinalize and
-	Tcl_ConditionFinalize, to be used when the core is compiled without
-	threads.
-
-	* doc/Thread.3:	Added description the new API's.
-

-
-2000-03-31  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
-
-	* generic/tclGet.c (Tcl_GetDouble): Added additional conditions to
-	error test (previously only errno was checked, but the return value of
-	strtod() should be checked as well). [Bug: 4118]
-
-	* tests/exec.test: Added test for proper conversion of UTF data when
-	used with "<< $dataWithUTF" on exec's.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): Added
-	Tcl_UtfToExternalDString call, so that if there is UTF content in the
-	string it will be properly converted to the system encoding before
-	being written [Bug: 4030].
-	(TclpCreateTempFile): Added a check on the return value of tmpnam;
-	some systems (Linux, for example) will start to return NULL after
-	tmpnam has been called TMP_MAX times; not checking for this can have
-	bad results (overwriting temp files, core dumps, etc.)
-
-2000-03-30  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

-	* generic/tclInt.decls:
-	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
-	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: removed TclWinSynchSpawn (vestige of Win32s
-	support).
-

-
-	* win/tclWinPort.h:

-	* win/tcl.m4: Added support for gcc/mingw on Windows [Bug: 4234]
-
-2000-03-29  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCleanupByteCode): made ByteCode cleanup
-	more aware of TCL_BYTECODE_PRECOMPILED flagged structs (gen'd by
-	tbcload), to correctly clean them up.
-
-	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): moved check for empty format
-	earlier, commented 0 result return value
-
-2000-03-29  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>
-
-	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Removed an unnecessary fileevent statement
-	from the error processing part of the Write method. Also, fixed two
-	potential memory leaks in wait and reset, in which the state array
-	wasn't being unset before throwing an exception. Prior to this
-	version, Brent checked in a fix to catch a fileevent statement that
-	was sometimes causing a stack trace when geturl was called with
-	-timeout. I believe Brent's fix is necessary because TLS closes bad
-	sockets for secure connections, and the fileevent was trying to act on
-	a socket that no longer existed.
-
-2000-03-27  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
-
-	* tests/httpd: removed unnecessary 'puts stderr "Post Dispatch"'
-
-	* tests/namespace.test:
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_Export): added a uniq'ing test to the
-	export list so only one instance of each export pattern would exist in
-	the list.
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): optimized case for the
-	empty string in ==/!= comparisons
-
-2000-03-27  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
-
-	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: Added (off_t) type casts in lseek() call [Bug:
-	4409].
-
-	* unix/tclLoadAout.c:
-	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c: Added (off_t) type casts in lseek() calls [Bug:
-	4410].
-
-2000-03-22  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>
-
-	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed a bug where string query data that
-	was bigger than queryblocksize would get duplicate characters at block
-	boundaries.
-
-2000-03-22  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>
-
-	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed bug 4463, where we were getting a
-	stack trace if we tried to publish a project to a good host but a port
-	where there was no server listening.  It turned out the problem was a
-	stray fileevent that needed to be cleared.  Also, fixed a bug where
-	http::code could stack trace if called on a bad token (one which
-	didn't represent a successful geturl) by adding an http element to the
-	state array in geturl.
-
-2000-03-21  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
-
-	* tests/clock.test: Modified some tests that were not robust with
-	respect to the time zone in which they were run and were thus failing.
-
-	* doc/clock.n: Clarified meaning of -gmt with respect to -base when
-	used with [clock scan] (-gmt does not affect the interpretation of
-	-base).
-
-2000-03-19  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>
-
-	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: geturl used to throw an exception when the
-	connection failed; I accidentally returned a token with the error
-	info, breaking backwards compatibility. I changed it back to throwing
-	an exception, but unsetting the state array first (thus still
-	eliminating the original memory leak problem).
-
-2000-03-19  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>
-
-	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Added -querychannel option and altered
-	some of Brent's modifications to allow asynchronous posts (via
-	-command). Also modified -queryprogress so that it calls the query
-	callback as <callback> <token> <total size> <current size> to be
-	consistent with -progress. Added -queryblocksize option with default
-	8192 bytes for post blocksize. Fixed a bunch of potential memory leaks
-	for the case when geturl receives bad args or can't open a socket,
-	etc. Overall, the package really rocks now.
-
-	* doc/http.n: Added -queryblocksize, -querychannel, and
-	-queryprogress. Also, changed the description of -blocksize, which
-	states that the -progress callback will be called for each block, to
-	now qualify that with an "if -progress is specified".
-
-	* tests/http.test: Added a querychannel test for synchronous and
-	asynchronous posts, altered the queryprogress test such that the
-	callback conforms to the -progress format. Also, had to use the
-	-queryblocksize option to do the post 16K at a time to match Brent's
-	expected results (and to test that -queryblocksize works).
-
-2000-03-15  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>
-
-	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Added -queryprogress callback to
-	http::geturl and also changed it so that writing the post data is
-	event driven if the queryprogress callback or a timeout is given.
-	This allows a timeout to occur when writing lots of post data. The
-	queryprogress callback is called after each block of query data is
-	posted. It has the same signature as the -progress callback.
-
-2000-03-06  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
-
-	* library/package.tcl: Applied patch from Bug: 2570; rather than
-	setting geometry of slave interp to 0x0 when Tk was loaded, it now
-	does "wm withdraw .". Both remove the main window from the display,
-	but the former caused some internal structures to get initialized to
-	zero, which caused crashes with some extensions.
-
-2000-03-02  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
-
-	* library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown): extended to allow recognizes
-	changes in the auto_path while sourcing in other pkgIndex.tcl files
-
-	* doc/FindExec.3: fixed doc for declaration of Tcl_FindExecutable
-	[Bug: 4275]
-
-	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_TranslateFileName): Applied patch from
-	Newman to significantly speedup file split/join on Windows (replaces
-	regexp with custom parser). [Bug: 2867]
-
-	* win/README.binary: change mailing lists from @consortium.org to
-	@scriptics.com [Bug: 4173]
-
-2000-02-28  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
-
-	* tests/clock.test: Added test for ISO bases < 100000
-
-	* generic/tclDate.c: (generated on Solaris)
-	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Changed condition for deciding if a number is
-	an ISO 8601 base from number >= 100000 to numberOfDigits >= 6.
-	Previously it would fail to recognize 000000 as an ISO base.
-
-2000-02-14  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

-
-	* tests/pkg/magicchar2.tcl:
-	* tests/autoMkindex.test: Test for auto loader fix (bug #2480).
-
-	* library/init.tcl: auto_load was using [info commands $name] to
-	determine if a given command was available; if the command name had *
-	or [] it, this would fail because info commands uses glob-style
-	matching. This is fixed. (Bug #2480).

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

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

-	situations with two procs by the same name but in different namespaces
-	(ie, foo::baz and bar::baz).
