+A NOTE ON THE CHANGELOG:
+Starting in early 2011, Tcl source code has been under the management of
+fossil, hosted at http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/ .  Fossil presents a "Timeline"
+view of changes made that is superior in every way to a hand edited log file.
+Because of this, many Tcl developers are now out of the habit of maintaining
+this log file.  You may still find useful things in it, but the Timeline is
+a better first place to look now.
+============================================================================
 
-	* generic/tclFileName.c: Correct result from [glob */test] when *
-	matches something like ~foo.  [Bug 2837800]
+2013-09-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
 
-	* generic/tclPathObj.c: [Bug 2806250] Prevent the storage of strings
-	starting with ~ in the "tail" part (normPathPtr field) of the path
-	intrep when PATHFLAGS != 0.  This establishes the assumptions relied
-	on elsewhere that the name stored there is a relative path.  Also
-	refactored to make an AppendPath() routine instead of the cut/paste
-	stanzas that were littered throughout.

-	Further extended the bytecode compiler to track the start line in the

-	match the location saved in the bytecode. This part could be optimized
-	more by using more memory to keep all possibilities which occur
-	around, or by just adjusting the location information instead of a
-	total recompile.
+2013-04-30  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
 
-	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,
-	and the previous change remove the problems with location data caused
-	by literal sharing (across whole files, but also proc bodies).
-	Simplified the associated datastructures (ExtIndex is gone, as is the
-	function EnterCmdWordIndex).
+	* library/platform/platform.tcl (::platform::LibcVersion):
+	* library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: Followup to the 2013-01-30 change.
+	The RE become too restrictive again. SuSe added a timestamp after the
+	version. Loosened up a bit. Bumped package to version 1.0.12.
 
-	The last change causes the hashtable 'lineLABCPtr' to be state which
-	has to be kept per coroutine, like the CmdFrame stack. Reworked the
-	coroutine support code to create, delete and switch the information as
-	needed. Further reworked the tailcall command as well, it has to pop
-	its own arguments when run in a bytecode context to keep a proper
-	stack in 'lineLABCPtr'.
+2013-04-29  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
 
-	Fixed the mishandling of line information in the NRE-enabled 'for' and
-	'while' commands introduced when both were made to share their
-	iteration callbacks without taking into account that the loop body is
-	found in different words of the command. Introduced a separate data
-	structure to hold all the callback information, as we went over the
-	limit of 4 direct client-data values for NRE callbacks.
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileArraySetCmd): Generate better code
+	when the list of things to set is a literal.
 
-	The above fixes [Bug 1605269].

+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	Revised TclFindElement() interface. The final
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c:	argument had been bracePtr, the address of a
+	* generic/tclListObj.c:	boolean var, where the caller can be told
+	* generic/tclParse.c:	whether or not the parsed list element was
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	enclosed in braces.  In practice, no callers
+	really care about that.  What the callers really want to know is
+	whether the list element value exists as a literal substring of the
+	string being parsed, or whether a call to TclCopyAndCollpase() is
+	needed to produce the list element value.  Now the final argument is
+	changed to do what callers actually need. This is a better fit for the
+	calls in tclParse.c, where now a good deal of post-processing checking
+	for "naked backslashes" is no longer necessary.
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	For any callers calling in via the internal stubs table who really do
+	use the final argument explicitly to check for the enclosing brace
+	scenario.  Simply looking for the braces where they must be is the
+	revision available to those callers, and it will backport cleanly.

-	TIP #285 IMPLEMENTATION
-
-	* doc/Eval.3: Added documentation for the Tcl_CancelEval and
-	Tcl_Canceled functions and the TCL_CANCEL_UNWIND flag bit.
-	* doc/after.n: Corrected the spelling of 'canceled' in the
-	documentation.
-	* doc/interp.n: Added documentation for [interp cancel].
-	* generic/tcl.decls: Added the Tcl_CancelEval and Tcl_Canceled
-	functions to the stubs table.
-	* generic/tcl.h: Added the TCL_CANCEL_UNWIND flag bit.
-	* generic/tclBasic.c: The bulk of the script cancellation
-	functionality is defined here. Added code to initialize and manage the
-	script cancellation hash table in a thread-safe manner. Reset script
-	cancellation flags prior to increasing the nesting level (if the
-	nesting level is currently zero) and always cooperatively check for
-	script cancellation near the start of TclEvalObjvInternal and after
-	invoking async handlers.
-	* generic/tclDecls.h: Regenerated.
-	* generic/tclEvent.c: Call TclFinalizeEvaluation during finalization
-	to cleanup the script cancellation hash table. During [vwait], always
-	cooperatively check for script cancellation. Corrected the spelling of
-	'canceled' in comments to be consistent with the documentation.
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: Reset script cancellation flags prior to
-	increasing the nesting level (if the nesting level is currently zero)
-	and always cooperatively check for script cancellation after invoking
-	async handlers. Prevent [catch] from catching script cancellation when
-	the TCL_CANCEL_UNWIND flag is set (similar to the manner used by TIP
-	143 when a limit has been exceeded).
-	* generic/tclInt.decls: Added TclResetCancellation to the internal
-	stubs table.
-	* generic/tclInt.h: Added asyncCancel and asyncCancelMsg fields to the
-	private Interp structure. Added private interp flag value CANCELED to
-	help control script cancellation.
-	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: Regenerated.
-	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_InterpObjCmd): Added [interp cancel]
-	subcommand.
-	* generic/tclNotify.c (Tcl_DeleteEventSource): Corrected the spelling
-	of 'canceled' in comments to be consistent with the documentation.
-	* generic/tclParse.c: Reset script cancellation flags prior to
-	* generic/tclProc.c: increasing the nesting level (if the nesting
-	level is currently zero) and cooperatively check for script
-	cancellation prior to evaluating commands.
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regenerated.
-	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (Tcl_ThreadObjCmd): Added script
-	cancellation support ([testthread cancel]).
-	Modified [testthread id] to allow querying of the 'main' thread ID.
-	Corrected comments to reflect the actual command syntax. Made
-	[testthread wait] cooperatively check for script cancellation. Added
-	[testthread event] to allow for processing one pending event without
-	blocking.
-	* generic/tclTimer.c: Delay for a maximum of 500 milliseconds prior to
-	checking for async handlers and script cancellation.
-	* tests/cmdAH.test: Changed [interp c] to [interp create].
-	* tests/interp.test: Added and fixed tests for [interp cancel].
-	* tests/thread.test: Added tests for script cancellation via
-	[testthread cancel].
-	* tools/man2help2.tcl: Fixed problems with WinHelp target (see
-	* tools/man2tcl.c: [Bug 1934200], [Bug 1934265], and [Bug 1934272]).
-	* win/makefile.vc: Added 'pdbs' option for Windows build rules to
-	* win/rules.vc:	   allow for non-debug builds with full symbols.
-	* win/tcl.hpj.in: Corrected version for WinHelp target.
-	* win/tclWinNotify.c: Used SleepEx and WaitForSingleObjectEx on
-	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Windows because they are alertable.

-	* generic/tclIORTrans.c (ReflectInput): Fixed a bug triggered by Pat
-	Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>. Reset the EOF flag after
-	draining the Tcl level into the result buffer, to make sure that the
-	result buffer will be drained as well by repeated calls to
-	ReflectInput should it contain more than one buffer-full of data.
-	Without that reset the higher I/O system will not call on ReflectInput
-	anymore due to the assumed EOF, thus losing the data which did not fit
-	in the buffer of the call which caused the eof and drain.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Add peephole optimization
+	of the fact that INST_DICT_FIRST and INST_DICT_NEXT always have a
+	conditional jump afterwards.

+	required removing an extra Tcl_DecrRefCount too.
+
+	* generic/tclOO.h, generic/tclOOInt.h: [Patch 2961556]: Change TclOO

+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Source code that uses function typedefs from TclOO will need to update

+	  * Use clearer 'foo.bar++;' instead of '++foo.bar;' where result not
+	    required (i.e., semantically equivalent); clarity is increased
+	    because it is bar that is incremented, not foo.

+
+	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main): [Bug 801429]: Factor out the holding
+	of the client-installed main loop function into thread-specific data.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Code that previously tried to set the main loop from another thread
+	will now fail. On the other hand, there is a fairly high probability
+	that such programs would have been failing before due to the lack of
+	any kind of inter-thread memory barriers guarding accesses to this
+	part of Tcl's state.

+
+2010-02-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclZlib.c (ZlibTransformInput): [Bug 2762041]: Added a hack
+	to work around the general problem, early EOF recognition based on the
+	base-channel, instead of the data we have ready for reading in the
+	transform. Long-term we need a proper general fix (likely tracking EOF
+	on each level of the channel stack), with attendant complexity.
+	Furthermore, Z_BUF_ERROR can be ignored, and must be when feeding the
+	zlib code with single characters.

+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey):	Restore these hash functions
+	* generic/tclLiteral.c (HashString):	to use the classic algorithm.
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclHashObjKey):	Community felt normal case
+	speed to be more important than resistance to malicious cases. For
+	now, hashes that need to deal with the malicious case can use a custom
+	hash table and install their own hash function, though that is not
+	functionality exposed to the script level.
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictUpdateCmd): Stack depth must be

+
+	* generic/tclOO.c (AllocObject, SquelchedNsFirst, ObjectRenamedTrace):
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_DeleteNamespace): [Bug 2950259]: Revised
+	the namespace deletion code to provide an additional internal callback
+	that gets triggered early enough in namespace deletion to allow TclOO
+	destructors to run sanely. Adjusted TclOO to take advantage of this,
+	so making tearing down an object by killing its namespace appear to
+	work seamlessly, which is needed for Itcl. (Note that this is not a
+	feature that will ever be backported to 8.5, and it remains not a
+	recommended way of deleting an object.)
+
+2010-02-13  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Divided the [switch]
+	compiler into three pieces (after the model of [try]): a parser, an
+	instruction-issuer for chained tests, and an instruction-issuer for
+	jump tables.
+
+	* generic/tclEnsemble.c: Split the ensemble engine out into its own
+	file rather than keeping it mashed together with the namespace code.
+
+2010-02-12  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* win/tcl.m4:		Use -pipe for gcc on win32

+
+2010-02-11  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_OpenObjCmd): [Bug 2949740]: Make sure that
+	we do not try to put a NULL pipeline channel into binary mode.
+
+2010-02-11  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	[Bug 2826551, Patch 2948425]: Assorted regexp bugs related to -all,
+	-line and -start options and newlines.
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): If -offset is given, treat it
+	as the start of the line if the previous character was a newline. Fix
+	nasty edge case where a zero length match would not advance the index.
+	* tests/regexp.test: Add regression tests back ported from Jacl.
+	Checks for a number of issues related to -line and newline handling. A
+	few of tests were broken before the patch and continue to be broken,
+	marked as knownBug.
+
+2010-02-11  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOO.c (ObjectRenamedTrace): [Bug 2949397]: Prevent
+	destructors from running on the two core class objects when the whole
+	interpreter is being destroyed.
+
+2010-02-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileTryCmd, IssueTryInstructions)
+	(IssueTryFinallyInstructions): Added compiler for the [try] command.
+	It is split into three pieces that handle the parsing of the tokens,
+	the issuing of instructions for finally-free [try], and the issuing of
+	instructions for [try] with finally; there are enough differences
+	between the all cases that it was easier to split the code rather than
+	have a single function do the whole thing.
+
+2010-02-09  Alexandre Ferrieux  <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl: Remove dependency on 8.5+ idiom "in" in
+	expressions.
+
+2010-02-08  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclZlib.c (Tcl_ZlibDeflate, Tcl_ZlibInflate): [Bug 2947783]:
+	Make sure that the result is an unshared object before appending to it
+	so that nothing crashes if it is shared (use in Tcl code was not
+	affected by this, but use from C was an issue).
+
+2010-02-06  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey):	Replace Tcl's crusty old hash
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclHashObjKey):	function with the algorithm
+	due to Fowler, Noll and Vo. This is slightly faster (assuming the
+	presence of hardware multiply) and has somewhat better distribution
+	properties of the resulting hash values. Note that we only ever used
+	the 32-bit version of the FNV algorithm; Tcl's core hash engine
+	assumes that hash values are simple unsigned ints.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Code that depends on hash iteration order (especially tests) may well
+	be disrupted by this. Where a definite order is required, the fix is
+	usually to just sort the results after extracting them from the hash.
+	Where this is insufficient, the code that has ceased working was
+	always wrong and was only working by chance.
+
+2010-02-05  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileErrorCmd): Added compilation of the

+
+2010-02-05  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl:	Follow-up to earlier commit today:
+	          Eliminate the need for an extra Stubs Pointer for adressing

+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: More consistency in errorcode generation.
+
+	* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_Destroy): Rewrote to be NRE-aware
+	when calling destructors. Note that there is no guarantee that
+	destructors will always be called in an NRE context; that's a feature
+	of the 'destroy' method only.
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Add 'const' to many function-internal vars
+	that are never pointing to things that are written to.
+
+2010-02-05  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl:	Follow-up to [2010-01-29] commit:

+
+2010-02-04  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+

+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c (Tcl_AppInit): [Bug 2902965]: Reverted Jan's change
+	that added a call to Tcl_InitStubs. The 'tclsh' and 'tcltest' programs

+2009-11-24  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/tclIndex: Manually redone the part of tclIndex dealing with
+	safe.tcl and tm.tcl. This part passes the testsuite. Note that
+	automatic regeneration of this part is not possible because it wrongly
+	puts 'safe::Setup' on the list, and wrongly leaves out 'safe::Log'
+	which is more dynamically created than the generator expects.
+
+	Further note that the file "clock.tcl" is explicitly loaded by
+	"init.tcl", the first time the clock command is invoked. The relevant
+	code can be found at line 172ff, roughly, the definition of the
+	procedure 'clock'. This means none of the procedures of this file
+	belong in the tclIndex. Another indicator that automatic regeneration
+	of tclIndex is ill-advised.

+
+	* library/safe.tcl: A series of patches which bring the SafeBase up to

+	of inefficiencies along the way.
+	(1) Changed all procedure names to be fully qualified.
+	(2) Moved the procedures out of the namespace eval. Kept their
+	locations. IOW, broke the namespace eval apart into small sections not
+	covering the procedure definitions.
+	(3) Reindented the code. Just lots of whitespace changes.
+	Functionality unchanged.
+	(4) Moved the multiple namespace eval's around. Command export at the
+	top, everything else (var decls, argument parsing setup) at the
+	bottom.
+	(5) Moved the argument parsing setup into a procedure called when the
+	code is loaded. Easier management of temporary data.
+	(6) Replaced several uses of 'Set' with calls to the new procedure
+	'InterpState' and direct access to the per-slave state array.
+	(7) Replaced the remaining uses of 'Set' and others outside of the
+	path/token handling, and deleted a number of procedures related to
+	state array access which are not used any longer.
+	(8) Converted the path token system to cache normalized paths and path
+	<-> token conversions. Removed more procedures not used any longer.
+	Removed the test cases 4.3 and 4.4 from safe.test. They were testing
+	the now deleted command "InterpStateName".
+	(9) Changed the log command setup so that logging is compiled out
+	completely when disabled (default).
+	(10) Misc. cleanup. Inlined IsInterp into CheckInterp, its only user.
+	Consistent 'return -code error' for error reporting. Updated to use
+	modern features (lassign, in/ni, dicts). The latter are used to keep a
+	reverse path -> token map and quicker check of existence.
+	(11) Fixed [Bug 2854929]: Recurse into all subdirs under all TM root
+	dirs and put them on the access path.

+
+	* doc/Cancel.3: Minor cosmetic fixes.
+	* win/makefile.vc: Make htmlhelp target work again.  An extra set of
+	double quotes around the definition of the HTML help compiler tool
+	appears to be required.  Previously, there was one set of double
+	quotes around the definition of the tool and one around the actual
+	invocation.  This led to confusion because it was the only such tool
+	path to include double quotes around its invocation.  Also, it was
+	somewhat inflexible in the event that somebody needed to override the
+	tool command to include arguments.  Therefore, even though it may look
+	"wrong", there are now two double quotes on either side of the tool
+	path definition.  This fixes the problem that currently prevents the
+	htmlhelp target from building and maintains flexibility in case
+	somebody needs to override it via the command line or an environment
+	variable.

+2009-10-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:        Changed the typedef for the mp_digit type
+	from:
+		typedef unsigned long mp_digit;
+	to:
+		typedef unsigned int mp_digit;
+	For 32-bit builds where "long" and "int" are two names for the same
+	thing, this is no change at all.  For 64-bit builds, though, this
+	causes the dp[] array of an mp_int to be made up of 32-bit elements
+	instead of 64-bit elements.  This is a huge improvement because
+	details elsewhere in the mp_int implementation cause only 28 bits of
+	each element to be actually used storing number data.  Without this
+	change bignums are over 50% wasted space on 64-bit systems.  [Bug
+	2800740].
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	For 64-bit builds, callers of routines with (mp_digit) or (mp_digit *)
+	arguments *will*, and callers of routines with (mp_int *) arguments
+	*may* suffer both binary and stubs incompatibilities with Tcl releases
+	8.5.0 - 8.5.7.  Such possibilities should be checked, and if such
+	incompatibilities are present, suitable [package require] requirements
+	on the Tcl release should be put in place to keep such built code
+	[load]-ing only in Tcl interps that are compatible.

+
+	* generic/tclLiteral.c:	[Bug 2888044]: Fixed 2 bugs.
+	* tests/info.test:	First, as noted in the comments of the
+	TclCleanupLiteralTable routine, since the teardown of the intrep of
+	one Tcl_Obj can cause the teardown of others in the same table, the
+	full table cleanup must be done with care, but the code did not
+	contain the same care demanded in the comment.  Second, recent
+	additions to the info.test file had poor hygiene, leaving an array
+	variable ::a lying around, which breaks later interp.test tests during
+	a -singleproc 1 run of the test suite.

-	* library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::UnknownHandler): Changed 'source' to
-	'source -encoding utf-8'. This fixes a portability problem of Tcl
-	Modules pointed out by Don Porter. By using plain 'source' we were at
-	the mercy of 'encoding system', making modules less portable than they
-	could be. The exact scenario: A writes a TM in some weird encoding
-	which is A's system encoding, distributes it, and somewhere else it
-	cannot be read/used because the system encoding is different. Forcing
-	the use of utf-8 makes the module portable.

+	Extended the bytecode compiler initialization to recognize the
+	compilation of whole files (NRE enabled 'source' command) and switch
+	to the counting of absolute lines in that case.
+
+	Further extended the bytecode compiler to track the start line in the
+	generated information, and modified the bytecode execution to
+	recompile an object if the location as per the calling context doesn't
+	match the location saved in the bytecode. This part could be optimized
+	more by using more memory to keep all possibilities which occur
+	around, or by just adjusting the location information instead of a
+	total recompile.
+
+	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,
+	and the previous change remove the problems with location data caused
+	by literal sharing (across whole files, but also proc bodies).
+	Simplified the associated datastructures (ExtIndex is gone, as is the
+	function EnterCmdWordIndex).
+
+	The last change causes the hashtable 'lineLABCPtr' to be state which
+	has to be kept per coroutine, like the CmdFrame stack. Reworked the
+	coroutine support code to create, delete and switch the information as
+	needed. Further reworked the tailcall command as well, it has to pop
+	its own arguments when run in a bytecode context to keep a proper
+	stack in 'lineLABCPtr'.
+
+	Fixed the mishandling of line information in the NRE-enabled 'for' and
+	'while' commands introduced when both were made to share their
+	iteration callbacks without taking into account that the loop body is
+	found in different words of the command. Introduced a separate data
+	structure to hold all the callback information, as we went over the
+	limit of 4 direct client-data values for NRE callbacks.
+
+	The above fixes [Bug 1605269].

+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Several revisions to the shimmering
+	patterns between Unicode and UTF string reps.  Most notably the
+	call: objPtr = Tcl_NewUnicodeObj(...,0); followed by a loop of calls:
+	Tcl_AppendUnicodeToObj(objPtr, u, n); will now grow and append to
+	the Unicode representation.  Before this commit, the sequence would
+	convert each append to UTF and perform the append to the UTF rep.
+	This is puzzling and likely a bug.  The performance of [string map]
+	is significantly improved by this change (according to the MAP
+	collection of benchmarks in tclbench).  Just in case there was some
+	wisdom in the old ways that I missed, I left in the ability to restore
+	the old patterns with a #define COMPAT 1 at the top of the file.

+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Rewrite GrowStringBuffer() so that it

+	instead of inefficiently operating via Tcl_*SetObjLength() with all of
+	its extra protections and underdocumented special cases.

+2009-02-17  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Pare back the length of the unicode
+	array in a non-extended String struct to one Tcl_UniChar, meant to
+	hold the terminating NUL character.  Non-empty unicode strings are
+	then stored by extending the String struct by stringPtr->maxChars

+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Factor out common GrowUnicodeBuffer()

+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Convert Tcl_AppendStringsToObj into
+	* tests/stringObj.test:		a radically simpler implementation
+	where we just loop over calls to Tcl_AppendToObj.  This fixes [Bug
+	2597185].  It also creates a *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** in
+	that T_ASTO can now allocate more space than is strictly required,
+	like all the other Tcl_Append* routines.  The incompatibility was
+	detected by test stringObj-6.5, which I've updated to reflect the
+	new behavior.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Revise buffer growth implementation
+	in ExtendStringRepWithUnicode.  Use cheap checks to determine that
+	no reallocation is necessary without cost of computing the precise
+	number of bytes needed.  Also make use of the string growth algortihm
+	in the case of repeated appends.

+	two-legged stork representation (objPtr->bytes = tclEmptyStringRep
+	and stringPtr->hasUnicode = 1).  In the situations where the strange
+	rep was treated differently, continue to do so by testing
+	stringPtr->numChars == 0 to detect it.  These changes make the code
+	more conventional so easier for new maintainers to pick up.  Also
+	sets up further simplifications.

+	to more simply and clearly split the cases depending on whether
+	a valid unicode rep is present or needs to be created.
+	New utility routine UnicodeLength(), to compute the length of unicode
+	buffer arguments when no length is passed in, with built-in
+	overflow protection included.  Update three callers to use it.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	New macro TclNumUtfChars meant to be a faster

+2009-02-09  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

+
+2009-02-07  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclZlib.c (TclZlibCmd): [Bug 2573172]: Ensure that when
+	invalid subcommand name is given, the list of valid subcommands is

+
+2009-02-05  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c: [Bug 2544618]: Fix argument checking for

+
+2009-02-05  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (StringIndexCmd, StringRangeCmd, StringLenCmd):
+	Simplify the implementation of some commands now that the underlying
+	string API knows more about bytearrays.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): [Bug 2568434]: Make sure
+	that INST_CONCAT1 will not lose string reps wrongly.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendObjToObj): Special-case the
+	appending of one bytearray to another, which can be extremely rapid.
+	Part of scheme to address [Bug 1665628] by making the basic string
+	operations more efficient on byte arrays.
+	(Tcl_GetCharLength, Tcl_GetUniChar, Tcl_GetRange): More special casing
+	work for bytearrays.
+
+2009-02-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c: [Bug 2561794]: Added overflow protections to

+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	[Bug 2561746]: Prevent crashes due to int

+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (tclCmdNameType): [Bug 2558422]: Corrected the type

+	be able to function correctly.
+
+2009-02-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (SetUnicodeObj):	[Bug 2561488]:

+	Also factored out common code to reduce duplication.
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetStringFromObj): Reduce code duplication.
+
+2009-02-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Reverted the conversion of [interp] into an
+	* tests/interp.test:	ensemble.  Such conversion is not necessary
+	* tests/nre.test:	(or even all that helpful) in the NRE-enabling
+	of [interp invokehidden], and it has other implications -- including
+	significant forkage of the 8.5 and 8.6 implementations -- that are
+	better off avoided if there's no gain.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_NOMEM):  [Bug 2494093]: Add missing
+	cast of NULL to (char *) that upsets some compilers.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_(Attempt)SetObjLength):	[Bug 2553906]:
+	Added protections against callers asking for negative lengths.  It is

-	* unix/configure:	autoconf (2.59)
+2009-02-01  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: Allow nmake flags such as -a (rebuild all) to pass

+
+	* doc/chan.n: [Bug 1216074]: Added another extended example.

+	* doc/refchan.n: Added an example of how to build a scripted channel.
+
+2009-01-29  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/stringObj.test: [Bug 2006888]: Remove non-ASCII chars from
+	non-comment locations in the file, making it work more reliably in
+	locales with a non-Latin-1 default encoding.
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindCommand): [Bug 2519474]: Ensure that
+	the path is not searched when the TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY flag is given.
+
+	* generic/tclOODecls.h (Tcl_OOInitStubs): [Bug 2537839]: Make the
+	declaration of this macro work correctly in the non-stub case.
+
+2009-01-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Convert the [interp] command into a
+	* tests/interp.test:	[namespace ensemble].  Work in progress
+	* tests/nre.test:	to NRE-enable the [interp invokehidden]
+	subcommand.
+
+2009-01-29  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclMakeEnsemble): [Bug 2529117]: Make this
+	function behave more sensibly when presented with a fully-qualified
+	name, rather than doing strange stuff.
+
+2009-01-28  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclInvokeObjectCommand): Made this understand
+	what to do if it ends up being used on a command with no objProc; that
+	shouldn't happen, but...
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclMakeEnsemble): [Bug 2529157]: Made this
+	understand NRE command implementations better.
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictForCmd): Eliminate unnecessary command

+
+2009-01-27  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:   [Bug 1028264]: WSACleanup() too early.

+

+	* unix/configure: Autoconf 2.59
+
+2009-01-21  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectClose): [Bug 2458202]:
+	* generic/tclIORTrans.c (ReflectClose): Closing a channel may supply
+	NULL for the 'interp'. Test for finalization needs to be different,
+	and one place has to pull the interp out of the channel instead.
+
+2009-01-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c: New fix for [Bug 2494093] replaces the
+	flawed attempt committed 2009-01-09.
+
+2009-01-19  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: [Patch 907924]:Added a CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR
+	* unix/tcl.m4:      parameter so that distributors can control where
+	tclConfig.sh goes. Made the installation of 'ldAix' conditional upon
+	actually being on an AIX system. Allowed for downstream packagers to
+	customize SHLIB_VERSION on BSD-derived systems. Thanks to Stuart
+	Cassoff for his help.
+	* unix/configure: Autoconf 2.59
+
+2009-01-19  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/build.vc.bat: Improved tools detection and error message
+	* win/makefile.vc: Reorganized the $(TCLOBJ) file list into seperate
+	parts for easier maintenance. Matched all sources built using -GL to
+	both $(lib) and $(link) to use -LTCG and avoid a warning message.
+	Addressed the over-building nature of the htmlhelp target by moving
+	from a pseudo target to a real target dependent on the entire docs/
+	directory contents.
+	* win/nmakehlp.c: Removed -g option and GrepForDefine() func as it
+	isn't being used anymore. The -V option method is much better.
+
+2009-01-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Bump patchlevel to 8.6b1.1 to distinguish
+	* library/init.tcl:	CVS snapshots from the 8.6b1 and 8.6b2 releases
+	* unix/configure.in:	and to deal with the fact that the 8.6b1
+	* win/configure.in:	version of init.tcl will not [source] in the
+	HEAD version of Tcl.
+
+	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.59
 	* win/configure:
 
+2009-01-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken):	Reverted most
+	of the substance of my 2009-01-12 commit. NULLing the objProc field of
+	a Command when deleting it is important so that tests for certain
+	classes of commands don't return false positives when applied to
+	deleted command tokens. Overall change is now just replacement of a
+	false comment with a true one.
+
+2009-01-13  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: [Bug 2502365]: Building of head on HPUX is broken when
+	using the native CC.
+	* unix/configure (autoconf-2.59)
+
+2009-01-13  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_ThrowObjCmd):	Move implementation of [throw]
+	* library/init.tcl (throw):		to C from Tcl.
+
+2009-01-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): One consequence of
+	the NRE rewrite is that there are now situations where a NULL objProc
+	field in a Command struct is perfectly normal. Removed an outdated
+	comment in Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken that claimed we use
+	cmdPtr->objPtr==NULL as a test of command validity. In fact we use
+	cmdPtr->flags&CMD_IS_DELETED to perform that test. Also removed the
+	setting to NULL, since any extension following the advice of the old
+	comment is going to be broken by NRE anyway, and needs to shift to
+	flag-based testing (or stop intruding into such internal matters).
+	Part of [Bug 2486550].
+
+2009-01-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_SIZE): [Bug 2494093]: Corrected
+	failure to limit memory allocation requests to the sizes that can be
+	supported by Tcl's memory allocation routines.
+
+2009-01-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceEnsembleCmd): [Bug 1558654]: Error out
+	when someone gives wrong # of args to [namespace ensemble create].
+
+2009-01-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_UALLOC): [Bug 2494093]: Added missing
+	parens required to get correct results out of things like
+	STRING_UALLOC(num + append).
+
+2009-01-08  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c, generic/tclIndexObj.c, generic/tclListObj.c,
+	* generic/tclObj.c, generic/tclStrToD.c, generic/tclUtil.c,
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Generate errorcodes for the error cases which
+	approximate to "I can't interpret that string as one of those" and
+	"You gave me the wrong number of arguments".
+
+2009-01-07  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/dict.n: [Tk Bug 2491235]: Added more examples.
+
+	* tests/oo.test (oo-22.1): Adjusted test to be less dependent on the
+	specifics of how [info frame] reports general frame information, and
+	instead to focus on what methods add to it; that's really what the
+	test is about anyway.
+
+2009-01-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/stringObj.test:	Revise tests that demand a NULL Tcl_ObjType
+	in certain values to construct those values with [testdstring] so
+	there's no lack of robustness depending on the shimmer history of
+	shared literals.
+
+2009-01-06  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictIncrCmd): Corrected twiddling in internals
+	of dictionaries so that literals can't get destroyed.
+
+	* tests/expr.test: [Bug 2006879]: Eliminate non-ASCII char.
+
+	* generic/tclOOInfo.c (InfoObjectMethodsCmd,InfoClassMethodsCmd):
+	[Bug 2489836]: Only delete pointers that were actually allocated!
+
+	* generic/tclOO.c (TclNRNewObjectInstance, Tcl_NewObjectInstance):
+	[Bug 2481109]: Perform search for existing commands in right context.
+
+2009-01-05  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclNRSourceObjCmd): [Bug 2412068]: Make
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclNREvalFile):    implementation of the
+	[source] command be NRE enabled so that [yield] inside a script
+	sourced in a coroutine can work.
+
+2009-01-04  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: Tidy up spacing and code style.
+
+2009-01-03  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl (tcl::clock::add): Fixed error message formatting
+	in the case where [clock add] is presented with a bad switch.
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-65.1) Added a test case for the above
+	problem [Bug 2481670].
+
+2009-01-02  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): [Bug 878333]: Force the use of the
+	compatibility version of mkstemp() on IRIX.
+	* unix/configure.in, unix/Makefile.in (mkstemp.o):
+	* compat/mkstemp.c (new file): [Bug 741967]: Added a compatibility
+	implementation of the mkstemp() function, which is apparently needed
+	on some platforms.
