+ * generic/tclInt.h:
+ * generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+ * generic/tclStubInit.c:
+ * generic/tclEncoding.c:
+ * generic/tclFileName.c:
+ * mac/tclMacFile.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: enhanced the glob command with the new options
+ -types -path -directory and -join. Deprecated TclpMatchFiles with
+ TclpMatchFilesTypes, extended TclGlob and TclDoGlob and added
+ GlobTypeData structure. [Bug 2363]
+
+1999-12-10 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+ * tests/var.test:
+ * generic/tclCompile.c: fixed problem where setting to {} array would
+ intermittently not work. [Bug 3339] (Fontaine)
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: optimized INST_TRY_CVT_TO_NUMERIC to recognize
+ boolean objects. [Bug 2815] (Spjuth)
+
+ * tests/info.test:
+ * tests/parseOld.test:
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c:
+ * generic/tclProc.c: changed Tcl_UplevelObjCmd (uplevel) and
+ Tcl_EvalObjCmd (eval) to use TCL_EVAL_DIRECT in the single arg case as
+ well, to take advantage of potential pure list input optimization.
+ This means that it won't get byte compiled though, which should be
+ acceptable.
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: made Tcl_EvalObjEx pure list object aware in the
+ TCL_EVAL_DIRECT case for efficiency.
+ * generic/tclUtil.c: made Tcl_ConcatObj pure list object aware, and
+ return a list object in that case [Bug 2098 2257]
+
+ * generic/tclMain.c: changed Tcl_Main to not constantly reuse the
+ commandPtr object (interactive case) as it could be shared. (Fellows)
+
+ * unix/configure.in:
+ * unix/tcl.m4:
+ * unix/tclUnixPipe.c: removed checking for compatible vfork function
+ and use of the vfork function. Modern VM systems rarely suffer any
+ performance degradation when fork is used, and it solves multiple
+ problems with vfork. Users that still want vfork can add -Dfork=vfork
+ to the compile flags. [Bug 942 2228 1312]
+
+1999-12-09 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+

+ * win/tclWinChan.c:
+ * win/tclWinFCmd.c:
+ * win/tclWinInit.c:
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c:
+ * win/tclWinSock.c: removed all code that supported Win32s. It was no
+ longer officially supported, and likely didn't work anyway.
+ * win/makefile.vc: removed 16 bit stuff, cleaned up.
+
+ * win/tcl16.rc:
+ * win/tclWin16.c:
+ * win/winDumpExts.c: these files have been removed from the source
+ tree (no longer necessary to build)
+
+1999-12-07 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+ * tests/io.test: removed 'knownBug' tests that were for unsupported0,
+ which is now fcopy (that already has tests)
+
+ * mac/tclMacPort.h: added utime.h include
+
+ * generic/tclDate.c:
+ * unix/Makefile.in: fixed make gendate to swap const with CONST so it
+ uses the Tcl defined CONST type [Bug 3521]
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c: removed panic that could occur in FlushChannel when
+ a "blocking" channel would receive EAGAIN, instead treating it the
+ same as non-blocking. [Bug 3773]
+
+ * generic/tclUtil.c: fixed Tcl_ScanCountedElement to not step beyond
+ the end of the counted string. [Bug 3336]
+
+1999-12-03 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+ * doc/load.n: added note about NT's buggy handling of './' with
+ LoadLibrary
+
+ * library/http2.1/http.tcl: fixed error handling in http::Event. [Bug
+ 3752]
+
+ * tests/env.test: removed knownBug limitation from working test
+ * tests/all.tcl: ensured that ::tcltest::testsDirectory would be set
+ to an absolute path
+
+ * tests/expr-old.test:
+ * tests/parseExpr.test:
+ * tests/string.test:
+ * generic/tclGet.c:
+ * generic/tclInt.h:
+ * generic/tclObj.c:
+ * generic/tclParseExpr.c:
+ * generic/tclUtil.c:
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: added TclCheckBadOctal routine to enhance
+ error message checking for when users use invalid octal numbers (like
+ 08), as well as replumbed the Expr*Funcs with a new VerifyExprObjType
+ to simplify type handling. [Bug 2467]
+
+ * tests/expr.test:
+ * generic/tclCompile.c: fixed 'bad code length' error for 'expr +
+ {[incr]}' case, with new test case [Bug 3736] and seg fault on 'expr
+ + {[error]}' (different cause) that was caused by a correct
+ optimization that didn't correctly track how it was modifying the
+ source string in the opt. The optimization was removed, which means
+ that:
+ expr 1 + {[string length abc]}
+ will be not be compiled inline as before, but this should be written:
+ expr {1 + [string length abc]}
+ which will be compiled inline for speed. This prevents:
+ expr 1 + {[mindless error]}
+ from seg faulting, and only affects optimizations for degenerate cases
+ [Bug 3737]
+
+1999-12-01 Scott Redman <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+ * generic/tcl.decls:
+ * generic/tclMain.c:
+ * unix/tclAppInit.c:
+ * win/tclAppInit.c: Added two new internal functions,
+ TclSetStartupScriptFileName() and TclGetStartupScriptFileName() and
+ added hooks into the main() code for supporting TclPro and other "big"
+ shells more easily without requiring a copy of the main() code.
+
+ * generic/tclEncoding.c:
+ * generic/tclEvent.c: Moved encoding-related startup code from
+ tclEvent.c into the more appropriate tclEncoding.c.
+
+1999-11-30 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c: fix from Kupries for Tcl_UnstackChannel that
+ correctly handles resetting translation and encoding.
+
+ * generic/tclLoad.c: #def'd out the unloading of DLLs at finalize time
+ for Unix in TclFinalizeLoad. [Bug 2560 3373] Should be parametrized
+ to allow for user to specify unload or not.
+
+ * win/tclWinTime.c: fixed handling of %Z on NT for time zones that
+ don't have DST.
+
+1999-11-29 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com>

+ to stdout instead of the specified output file in some cases.
+
+1999-11-19 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com>

+
+ * doc/http.n:
+ * library/http2.1/http.tcl:
+ * library/http2.1/pkgIndex.tcl: updated http package to 2.2
+
+1999-11-18 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4: added defined for _THREAD_SAFE in --enable-threads
+ case; added check for pthread_mutex_init in libc; in AIX case, with
+ --enable-threads ${CC}_r is used; fixed flags when using gcc on SCO

+ global level for uplevel command.
+
+ * generic/tclIOSock.c: changed int to size_t type for len in

+ http:: package (better support for tls/SSL), as well as -type argument
+ to http::geturl. [RFE 2617]
+

+
+1999-11-17 Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>
+
+ * library/http2.1/http.tcl: Correctly fixed the -timeout problem
+ mentioned in the 10-29 change. Also added error handling for failed
+ writes on the socket during the protocol.
+
+1999-11-09 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+ * doc/open.n: corrected docs for 'a' open mode.
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: changed Tcl_Alloc to ckalloc
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h:
+ * generic/tclObj.c: rolled back changes from 1999-10-29
+ Purify noted new leaks with that code
+
+ * generic/tclParse.c: added code in Tcl_ParseBraces to test for
+ possible unbalanced open brace in a comment
+
+ * library/init.tcl: removed the installed binary directory from the

+ * unix/tcl.m4: added recognition of pthreads library for AIX
+
+1999-10-29 Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Modified the TclNewObj and TclDecrRefCount in two
+ ways. First, in the case of TCL_THREADS, we do not use the special
+ Tcl_Obj allocator because that is a source of lock contention. Second,
+ general code cleanup to eliminate duplicated code. In particular,
+ TclDecrRefCount now uses TclFreeObj instead of duplicating that code,
+ so it is now identical to Tcl_DecrRefCount.
+
+ * generic/tclObj.c: Changed Tcl_NewObj so it uses the TclNewObj macro
+ instead of duplicating the code. Adjusted TclFreeObj so it understands
+ the TCL_THREADS case described above.
+
+ * library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed a bug in the handling of the
+ state(status) variable when the -timeout flag is specified. Previously
+ it was possible to leave the status undefined instead of empty, which
+ caused errors in http::status

+ iterates once over the va_list (avoiding a memcpy of it, which is not
+ portable).
+
+ * generic/tclEnv.c: fixed possible ABR error in environ array
+
+ * tests/scan.test:
+ * generic/tclScan.c: added support for use of inline scan, XPG3
+ currently not included
+
+ * tests/incr.test:
+ * tests/set.test:
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c: fixed improper bytecode handling of 'eval
+ {set array($unknownvar) 5}' (also for incr). [Bug 3184]
+
+ * win/tclWinTest.c: added testvolumetype command, as atime is
+ completely ignored for Windows FAT file systems
+ * win/tclWinPort.h: added sys/utime.h to includes
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h: added utime.h to includes
+ * doc/file.n:
+ * tests/cmdAH.test:
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c: added time arguments to atime and mtime file
+ command methods (support 'touch' functionality)
+
+1999-10-20 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com>

+ * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl:
+ * generic/tclThreadTest.c: fixed mem leaks in threads
+
+ * generic/tclResult.c: fixed Tcl_AppendResultVA so it only iterates

+
+ * generic/tclCompile.c: removed savedChar trick that appeared to be
+ causing a segv when the literal table was released

+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: fixed [string index] to return ByteArrayObj when
+ indexing into one (test case string-5.16). [Bug 2871]
+
+ * library/http2.1/http.tcl: protected gets with catch. [Bug 2665]
+
+1999-10-19 Jennifer Hom <jenn@scriptics.com>
+
+ * tests/tcltest.test:
+ * doc/tcltest.n:
+ * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Removed the extra return at the end
+ of the tcltest.tcl file, added version information about tcl.
+
+ Applied patches sent in by Andreas Kupries to add helper procs for
+ debug output, add 3 new flags (-testsdir, -load, -loadfile), and
+ internally refactors common code for dealing with paths into separate
+ procedures. [Bug 2838, 2842]
+
+ Merged code from core-8-2-1 branch that changes the checks for the
+ value of tcl_interactive to also incorporate a check for the existence
+ of the variable.
+
+ * tests/autoMkindex.test:
+ * tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Explicitly cd to ::tcltest::testsDirectory at
+ the beginning of the test run
+

+ when the tests area run in wish.
+
+1999-10-12 Jim Ingham <jingham@scriptics.com>
+
+ * mac/tclMacLoad.c: Stupid bug - we converted the filename to
+ external, but used the unconverted version.
+ * mac/tclMacFCmd.c: Fix a merge error in the bug fix for [Bug 2869]
+
+1999-10-12 Jeff Hobbs <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+ * generic/regc_color.c:
+ * generic/regc_cvec.c:

+ include sys/types.h, which may not exist).
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: Added the Windows configure script to the
+ distribution file list, already shipping configure.in and the .m4
+ files, but needed the configure script itself.
+
+ * win/makefile.vc: Changed version number of DDE package in VC++
+ makefile to use 1.1 instead of 1.0.
+

+
+ * win/makefile.vc: Since the makefile.vc should continue to work while

+
+1999-07-09 Scott Redman <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+ * win/configure.in: Eval DLLSUFFIX, LIBSUFFIX, and EXESUFFIX in the

+
+ * win/tclWinSerial.c: New implementation of serial port driver from
+ Rolf Shroedter (Rolf.Schroedter@dlr.de) that allows more than one byte
+ to be read from the port. Implemented using polling instead of

+
+1999-07-06 Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>
+

+
+1999-07-03 Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>
+
+ * generic/tclParse.c: Changed parsing of variable names to allow empty

+ * generic/tcl.h:
+ * generic/tcl.decls: Renamed Tcl_RegExpMatchObj to Tcl_RegExpExecObj
+ and added a new Tcl_RegExpMatchObj that is equivalent to
+ Tcl_RegExpMatch. Added public macros for the regexp compile/execute
+ flags. Changed to store either an object pointer or a string pointer
+ in the TclRegexp structure. Changed to avoid adding a reference to the
+ object or copying the string.
+
+ * generic/regcomp.c: lint
+
+ * tests/reg.test:
+ * generic/regex.h:
+ * generic/regc_lex.c: Added REG_BOSONLY flag to allow Expect to
+ iterate through a string an only find matches that start at the
+ current position within the string.

+
+ * tests/execute.test:

+1999-06-08 Scott Stanton <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinSock.c: Rolled back to the 8.1.0 implementation because of

+ * tests/string.test:
+ * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_SetVar2Ex):

+
+1999-05-18 Scott Stanton <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinChan.c: Modified initialization code to avoid inherenting

+
+1999-05-14 Scott Stanton <stanton@scriptics.com>

+
+ * unix/Makefile.in:

+
+ * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): Tcl now looks for an
+ encoding subfield in the LANG/LC_ALL variables in cases where the
+ locale is not found in the locale table. Ensure that setlocale() is
+ called at least once so X11 will initialize properly. Also, forces the
+ LC_NUMERIC locale to be "C" so numeric processing in scripts is not
+ affected by the current locale setting. [Bug 1989]
+
+ * generic/tclRegexp.c: Increased per-thread regexp cache to 30 slots.
+ This seems to be about the right number for larger applications like

+ * generic/tclRegexp.h:
+ * generic/tclRegexp.c: Replaced the per-interpreter regexp cache with

+ this extra cache. Added a reference count to the TclRegexp type so
+ regexps can be shared by multiple objects. Removed the per-interp
+ regexp cache from the interpreter. Now regexps can be used with no
+ need for an interpreter. [Bug 1063]
+
+ * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpSetVariables): Avoid calling GetUserName if

+
+ * generic/tclLoadNone.c: Updated to use current interfaces, added
+ TclpUnloadFile. [Bug 2003]
+
+ * win/winDumpExts.c:

+ and -length switches to "string compare/equal". Added a -nocase option
+ to "string map". Changed index syntax to allow integer or
+ end?-integer? instead of a full expression. This is much simpler with
+ safeTcl scripts since it avoids double substitution issues.
+
+ * doc/Utf.3:

+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd):
+ * generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): Applied Jeff Hobbs's string
+ patch which includes the following changes [Bug 1845]:
+ - 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 can be multiple chars (or none
+ at all). For Tcl/CGI users, this is a MAJOR speed booster.
+
+ * generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseCommand): Changed to avoid modifying
+ eval'ed strings that are already null terminated. [Bug 1793]
+
+ * tests/binary.test:
+ * generic/tclBinary.c (DupByteArrayInternalRep): Fixed bug where type
+ was not being set in duplicated object. [Bug 1975, 2047]
+
+1999-04-30 Scott Stanton <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+ * Changed version to 8.1.1.
+
+1999-04-30 Scott Stanton <stanton@scriptics.com>
+

+ * generic/tclParse.c: Fixed memory leak in CommandComplete.
+
+ * generic/tclPlatDecls.h:
+ * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
+ * generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+ * generic/tclDecls.h:
+ * tools/genStubs.tcl: Added 'extern "C" {}' block around the stub

+ [Bug 1934]
+
+ * Lots of documentation and other release engineering fixes.
+
+1999-04-28 Scott Stanton <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+ * mac/tclMacResource.c:
+ * generic/tclListObj.c:
+ * generic/tclObj.c:
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Changed to avoid freeing the string
+ representation before freeing the internal rep. This helps with
+ debugging since the string rep will still be valid when the free proc
+ is invoked.
+
+1999-04-27 Scott Stanton <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+ * generic/tclLiteral.c (TclHideLiteral): Fixed so hidden literals get
+ duplicated to avoid accidental sharing in the global object table.
+
+1999-04-23 Scott Stanton <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+ * generic/tclStubInit.c:
+ * tools/genStubs.tcl: Changed to avoid the need for forward

+
+1999-04-23 Scott Stanton <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+ * library/encoding/koi8-r.enc:
+ * tools/encoding/koi8-r.txt: Added support for the koi8-r Cyrillic

+
+1999-04-22 Scott Stanton <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinFCmd.c:
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c: Changed uses of "try" to "__try", since that is
+ the actual keyword. This eliminates the need for some -D flags from
+ the makefile.
+
+ * generic/tclPort.h: Added include of tcl.h since it defines various
+ Windows macros that are needed before deciding which platform porting
+ file to use.
+
+ * generic/tclEvent.c: lint
+
+ * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): Added call to TclWinInit when
+ building a static library since DllMain will not be invoked. This
+ could break old code that explicitly called TclWinInit, but should be
+ simpler in the long run.
+
+1999-04-22 Scott Stanton <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h:
+ * generic/tclInt.decls:
+ * generic/tclCompile.c: Added TclSetByteCodeFromAny that takes a hook
+ procedure to invoke after compilation but before the byte codes are
+ emitted. This makes it possible to do postprocessing on the compiled
+ byte codes before the ByteCode is generated.
+
+ * generic/tclLiteral.c: Added TclHideLiteral and TclAddLiteralObj to
+ make it possible to create local unshared literal objects.
+
+ * win/tclWinInit.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixInit.c: Changed initial search path to match that
+ found used by tcl_findLibrary.
+
+1999-04-22 Scott Redman <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinPort.h:
+ * win/tclWinSock.c: Added code to use WinSock 2.0 API on NT to avoid
+ creating a window to handle sockets. API not available on Win95 and
+ needs to be fixed on Win98, until then continue to use the older
+ (window-based) scheme on those two OSes.

+ * library/encoding/euc-cn.enc:
+ * tools/encoding/gb2312.txt:
+ * tools/encoding/cp950.txt:
+ * tools/encoding/Makefile: Restored the double byte definition of

+ that shifts the characters into bytes with the high bit set and
+ includes ASCII as a subset. [Bug 632]
+
+1999-04-13 Scott Redman <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinSock.c: Apply patch to allow write access to a socket if

+
+1999-04-09 Scott Redman <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: Fixed notifier deadlock situation when the pipe
+ used to talk back notifier thread is filled with data. When calling

+ result of the focus.test for Tk hanging. [Bug 1700]
+
+1999-04-06 Scott Stanton <stanton@scriptics.com>
+

+1999-04-06 Bryan Surles <surles@scriptics.com>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c:
+ * generic/tclEnv.c: Moved the "array set" C level code into a common

+
+ * generic/tclEnv.c:
+ * generic/tclWinInit.h:
+ * generic/tclUnixInit.h:
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Made the Env module I18N compliant. Changed the

+
+1999-04-05 Scott Stanton <stanton@scriptics.com>
+

+ and Tcl_GetCwd() and Tcl_Chdir() (new functions).
+
+ * tests/safe.test:
+ * doc/safe.n:
+ * generic/tclBasic.c:
+ * library/safe.tcl: The encoding command is not safe as-is, so create

+
+1999-04-05 Scott Stanton <stanton@scriptics.com>

+1999-04-02 Scott Stanton <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+ * tests/http.test: Fixed bad test initialization code.

+
+ * doc/dde.n:

+ and nonblocking mode. Gets no longer hangs, fileevents fire whenever
+ there is any character data on the port.
+
+ * tests/winConsole.test:
+ * win/tclWinConsole.c: Fixed problem with fileevents and gets from a
+ console stdin. Previously, fileevents were firing before an entire
+ line was available for reading, which meant that when you did a gets
+ or read, it blocked (even in nonblocking mode). Now, it should work
+ the same as Unix: fileevents fire when an entire line is ready, and
+ gets and read do not block in non-blocking mode. Added an interactive
+ test case to check for this.

+
+ * win/makefile.vc: Regularized usage of mkd and rmd and rm.

+
+ * test/winPipe.test: Changed to remove echoArgs.tcl temporary file
+ when done.
+
+ * tests/cmdAH.test:
+ * generic/tclFileName.c (TclGetExtension): Changed behavior so the
+ split happens at the last period in the name instead of the first
+ period of the last run of periods. So, "foo..o" is split into "foo."
+ and ".o" now. [Bug 1126]
+
+ * win/makefile.vc: Added better support for paths with spaces in the
+ name. Added .lib and support .dlls to the install-binaries target.
+ Added generate of a pkgIndex.tcl script to the install-libraries
+ target.
+
+ * win/tclAppInit.c:
+ * unix/tclAppInit.c:
+ * mac/tclMacAppInit.c:
+ * generic/tclTest.c: Changed some EXTERN declarations to extern since
+ they are not defining exported interfaces. This avoids generating
+ useless declspec() attributes and makes the windows makefile simpler.
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Moved Tcl_AppInit declaration to end and cleared out
+ TCL_STORAGE_CLASS so it is not declared with a declspec().
+
+ * tests/interp.test:
+ * generic/tclInterp.c (DeleteAlias): Changed to use
+ Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken so we handle renames properly. This avoids
+ senseless panic. [Bug 736]
+
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c:
+ * win/tclWinSock.c:
+ * doc/socket.n: Applied Gordon Chaffee's patch to handle failures

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

+
+ * generic/tclVar.c: Fixed bug in namespace tail computation. Fixed bug
+ where upvar could resurrect a namespace variable whose namespace had
+ been deleted.
+
+ * generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileExprCmd): Eliminated yet another
+ bogus optimization in expression compilation.
+
+ * unix/configure.in: Added branch for BSD/OS-4* to shared library case
+ statement. [Bug 975]
+ Fixed to correctly handle IRIX 6.5 n32 library support. [Bug 1117]
+
+ * win/winDumpExts.c: Patched to be pickier about stripping @'s. [Bug
+ 920]
+
+ * library/http2.0/http.tcl: Added catch around eof test in CopyDone
+ since the user may have already called http::reset. [Bug 1108]
+
+ * unix/configure.in: Changed Linux and IRIX to set SHLIB_LIBS to LIBS
+ so shared libraries are linked with the system libraries. [Bug 1018]
+
+ * generic/tclCompile.c (CompileExprWord): Fixed exception stack
+ overflow bug caused by missing statement. [Bug 928]
+
+ * generic/tclIOCmd.c:
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Objectified the "open" command. [Bug 1113]
+
+ * generic/tclPosixStr.c (Tcl_ErrnoId, Tcl_ErrnoMsg): When using egcs,
+ ENOTSUP and EOPNOTSUPP are the same, so now we handle that case. [Bug
+ 1137]
+
+ * library/init.tcl: Various small changes requested by Jan Nijtmans.
+ - If the variable $tcl_library contains the empty string, this empty
+ string will be put in $auto_path. This is not useful at all, it only
+ slows down later package processing.
+ - If the variable tcl_pkgPath is not set, the "unset __dir" fails.
+ Thich makes init.tcl totally unusable. Better put a "catch" around
+ it.
+ - In the function tcl_findLibraries, the "string match" function only
+ works correctly if $tcl_patchLevel is in one of the forms "?.?a?",
+ "?.?b?" or "?.?.?". Could a "regexp" be used instead, then it allows
+ anything to be appended to the patchLevel string. And it is more
+ efficient.
+ - The tclPkgSetup function assumes that if $type != "load" then the
+ type must be "source". This needn't be true. Some users want to add
+ their own setup types.
+ [RFE 1138] [Bug 978]
+
+ * win/tclWinReg.c:
+ * doc/registry.n: Added support for HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA and
+ HKEY_DYN_DATA keys. [Bug 1109]
+
+ * win/tclWinInit.c (TclPlatformInit): Added code to ensure tcl_pkgPath

+ that already have the mutex.

+
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Fixed bug that kept arguments
+ containing spaces from being properly quoted.
+
+ * tests/defs: Changed so auto_path is set to only contain the Tcl
+ library directory. This keeps the tests from accidentally picking up
+ stuff in installed packages.
+
+ * generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_StringMatch): Changed to match 8.0 behavior
+ in corner case where there is no closing bracket.
+
+1998-12-02 Scott Stanton <stanton@GASPODE>

+
+ * generic/regc_color.c (subcolor): Added check for error case to avoid
+ an out of bounds array reference.
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_EncodingObjCmd): Changed to avoid using
+ Tcl_DStringResult because it is not binary clean.
+
+ * generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseCommand): Fixed bug in comment parsing
+ where a trailing comment looked like an incomplete command.
+
+1998-12-02 Brent Welch <welch@SAGE>
+
+ * Merged changes from 8.0.4, especially the new pkg_mkIndex
+
+1998-12-01 Scott Stanton <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ReadChars): Added a call to UpdateInterest so
+ we don't block when there is data sitting in the buffers.
+
+ * generic/tclTest.c (TestevalobjvObjCmd): Updated for EvalObjv change.
+
+ * tests/parse.test: Updated tests for EvalObjv change.
+
+ * generic/tclParse.c (EvalObjv, Tcl_EvalObjv): Changed Tcl_EvalObjv
+ interface to remove string and length arguments, preserved original
+ interface as EvalObjv for internal use.
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Changed Tcl_EvalObjv interface to remove string and
+ length arguments.
+
+ * doc/Eval.3: Updated documentation for Tcl_EvalObjv to remove string
+ and length arguments.
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileForeachCmd): Fixed code that
+ corrupted the exceptDepth value in the compile environment when
+ foreach failed to compile inline. [Bug 884]
+
+ * library/encoding/euc-kr.enc:
+ * library/encoding/ksc5601.enc:
+ * tools/encoding/ksc5601.txt:
+ * unix/tclUnixInit.c: Added support for Korean EUC.

+1998-11-30 Scott Stanton <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): Fixed hang that occurs when
+ trying to close a pipe that is currently being waited on by the
+ notifier thread. [Bug 607]
+
+ * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (GetPermissionsAttribute): Increase size of
+ returnString buffer to avoid overflow. [Bug 584]
+
+ * generic/tclThreadTest.c (TclThreadSend): Fixed memory leak due to
+ use of TCL_VOLATILE instead of TCL_DYNAMIC.
+
+ * generic/tclThread.c (TclRememberSyncObject): Fixed memory leak
+ caused by failure to reuse condition variables.
+
+ * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_AlertNotifier, Tcl_WaitForEvent,
+ (NotifierThreadProc, Tcl_InitNotifier): Fixed race condition caused by
+ incorrect use of condition variables when sending messages between
+ threads. [Bug 607]
+
+ * generic/tclTestObj.c (TeststringobjCmd): MAX_STRINGS was off by one
+ so the strings array was too small.
+
+ * generic/tclCkalloc.c (Tcl_DbCkfree): Moved mutex lock so
+ ValidateMemory is done inside the mutex to avoid a race condition when
+ validate_memory is enabled. [Bug 880]
+
+1998-11-23 Scott Stanton <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+ * regexec.c: more performance tuning from Henry Spencer.
+
+1998-11-17 Scott Stanton <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+ * tclScan.c: moved "scan" implementation out of tclCmdMZ.c and added
+ Unicode support. This required a complete reimplementation of the
+ command to avoid using scanf(), which isn't Unicode aware. Two new
+ features were added in the process: %n to return the current number of
+ characters consumed, and XPG3-style %n$ argument order specifiers
+ similar to those provided by the "format" command. [Bug 833]
+
+ * tclAlloc.c: changed so allocated memory is always 8-byte aligned to
+ improve memory performance and to ensure that it will work on systems
+ that don't like accessing 4-byte aligned values (e.g. Solaris and
+ HP-UX). [Bug 834]
+
+1998-11-06 Scott Stanton <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+ * tclVar.c (TclGetIndexedScalar): Fixed bug 796, var name was getting
+ lost before being passed to CallTraces.

+ * integrated regexp updates from Henry Spencer
+
+1998-10-15 Scott Stanton <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+ * tclUtf.c: added Unicode character table support
+
+ * tclInt.h: added TclUniCharIsWordChar
+
+ * tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): added "totitle" subcommand, changed
+ "wordend" and "wordstart" to properly handle Unicode word characters
+ and connector punctuation
+
+1998-10-05 Scott Stanton <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+ * auto.tcl, package.tcl: fixed SCCS strings
+
+ * tclIndex: updated index to reflect 8.1 files
+
+ * tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): changed to avoid modifying the
+ input string in place because name lookup operations could have
+ arbitrary side effects
+
+ * tclInterp.c: added guard against deleting current interpreter
+
+ * tclMacFile.c, tclUnixFile.c, tclWinFile.c, tclFileName.c: added
+ warnings around code that modifies strings in place
+
+ * tclExecute.c: fixed off-by-one copying error, fixed merge bugs
+
+ * tclEvent.c: changed so USE_TCLALLOC is tested for value instead of
+ definition
+
+ * tclCompCmds.c: replaced SCCS strings, added warnings around code
+ that modifies strings in place
+
+ * interp.test: added test for interp deleting itself
+
+1998-09-30 Scott Stanton <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+ * makefile.vc: fixed so TCL_LIBRARY is set before running tcltest
+
+ * tclWin32Dll.c: removed TclpFinalize, cleanup of merges
