+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.

+	Tcl_SetNotifier() change.
+
+2013-07-02  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+

+
+2013-06-18  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c: Bug [3611974]: InitSubsystems multiple thread
+	issue.
+
+2013-06-17  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

+2013-06-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c (TclCompileTryCmd): [Bug 779d38b996]:
+	Rewrote the [try] compiler to generate better code in some cases and
+	to behave correctly in others; when an error happens during the
+	processing of an exception-trap clause or a finally clause, the
+	*original* return options are now captured in a -during option, even
+	when fully compiled.
+
+2013-06-05  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_EXPAND_DROP): [Bugs 2835313, 3614226]:
+	New opcode to allow resetting the stack to get rid of an expansion,
+	restoring the stack to a known state in the process.
+	* generic/tclCompile.c, generic/tclCompCmds.c: Adjusted the compilers
+	for [break] and [continue] to get stack cleanup right in the majority
+	of cases.
+	* tests/for.test (for-7.*): Set of tests for these evil cases.
+
+2013-06-04  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: Eliminate NO_VIZ macro as current zlib uses HAVE_HIDDEN
+	instead. One more last-moment fix for FreeBSD by Pietro Cerutti
+
+2013-06-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: fix for perf bug detected by Kieran
+	(https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/comp.lang.tcl/vfpI3bc-DkQ),
+	diagnosed by dgp to be a close relative of [Bug 781585], which was
+	fixed by commit	[f46fb50cb3]. This bug was introduced by myself in
+	commit [cbfe055d8c].
+
+2013-06-03  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileBreakCmd, TclCompileContinueCmd):
+	Added code to allow [break] and [continue] to be issued as a jump (in
+	the most common cases) rather than using the more expensive exception
+	processing path in the bytecode engine. [Bug 3614226]: Partial fix for
+	the issues relating to cleaning up the stack when dealing with [break]
+	and [continue].
+
+2013-05-27 Harald Oehlmann  <oehhar@users.sf.net>
+
+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: [Bug 3036566]: Also get locale from

+
+2013-05-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tclCompile.c: Removed duplicate const qualifier causing the HP
+	native cc to error out.
+
+2013-05-22  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclUtf.c (TclUtfCasecmp): [Bug 3613609]: Replace problematic
+	uses of strcasecmp with a proper UTF-8-aware version. Affects both
+	[lsearch -nocase] and [lsort -nocase].
+
+2013-05-22  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/file.n: [Bug 3613671]: Added note to portability section on the
+	fact that [file owned] does not produce useful results on Windows.
+
+2013-05-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DefaultTempDir): [Bug 3613567]: Corrected logic
+	for checking return code of access() system call, which was inverted.
+
+2013-05-19  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4:     Fix for FreeBSD, and remove support for older
+	* unix/configure:  FreeBSD versions. Patch by Pietro Cerutti.
+
+2013-05-18  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmdsGR.c: Split tclCompCmds.c again to keep size of
+	code down.
+
+2013-05-16  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Add panic in order to detect incompatible
+	mingw32 sys/stat.h and sys/time.h headers.
+
+2013-05-13  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* compat/zlib/*: Upgrade to zlib 1.2.8
+
+2013-05-10  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	Optimizations and general bytecode generation improvements.
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileAppendCmd, TclCompileLappendCmd):
+	(TclCompileReturnCmd): Make these generate bytecode in more cases.
+	(TclCompileListCmd): Make this able to push a literal when it can.
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclSetByteCodeFromAny, PeepholeOptimize):
+	Added checks to see if we can apply some simple cross-command-boundary
+	optimizations, and defined a small number of such optimizations.
+	(TclCompileScript): Added the special ability to compile the list
+	command with expansion ([list {*}blah]) into bytecode that does not
+	call an external command.
+
+2013-05-06  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Add support for Cygwin64, which has a 64-bit
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: "long" type. Binary compatibility with win64
+	requires that all stub entries use 32-bit long's, therefore the need
+	for various wrapper functions/macros. For Tcl 9 a better solution is
+	needed, but that cannot be done without introducing binary
+	incompatibility.
+
+2013-04-30  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* 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.
+
+2013-04-29  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileArraySetCmd): Generate better code
+	when the list of things to set is a literal.
+
+2013-04-25  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: Implement Tcl_NewBooleanObj, Tcl_DbNewBooleanObj
+	and Tcl_SetBooleanObj as macros using Tcl_NewIntObj, Tcl_DbNewLongObj
+	and Tcl_SetIntObj. Starting with Tcl 8.5, this is exactly the same, it
+	only eliminates code duplication.
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Eliminate use of NO_WIDE_TYPE everywhere: It's
+	exactly the same as TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG
+
+2013-04-19  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: Implement many Tcl_*Var* functions and
+	Tcl_GetIndexFromObj as (faster/stack-saving) macros around resp their
+	Tcl_*Var*2 equivalent and Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct.
+
+2013-04-12  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: Implement Tcl_Pkg* functions as
+	(faster/stack-saving) macros around Tcl_Pkg*Ex functions.
+
+2013-04-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/regc_color.c:	[Bug 3610026]: Stop crash when the number of
+	* generic/regerrs.h:	"colors" in a regular expression overflows a
+	* generic/regex.h:	short int.  Thanks to Heikki Linnakangas for
+	* generic/regguts.h:	the report and the patch.
+	* tests/regexp.test:
+
+2013-04-04  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): Allow URLs that don't have a
+	path, but a query query, e.g. http://example.com?foo=bar
+	* Bump the http package to 2.8.7.
+

+
+	* generic/tclOOStubLib.c: Restrict the stub library to only use
+	* generic/tclTomMathStubLib.c: Tcl_PkgRequireEx, Tcl_ResetResult and

+
+2013-01-04  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEnsemble.c (CompileBasicNArgCommand): Added very simple
+	compiler (which just compiles to a normal invoke of the implementation
+	command) for many ensemble subcommands where we can prove that there
+	is no way for scripts to detect the difference even through error
+	handling or [info level]/[info frame]. This improves the code produced

+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBCresume:INST_INVOKE_REPLACE):
+	* generic/tclEnsemble.c (TclCompileEnsemble): Added new mechanism to

+
+2013-01-02  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEnsemble.c:  Remove stray calls to Tcl_Alloc and friends:

+
+2012-11-13  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
+

+2012-11-06  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* library/http/http.tcl (http::Finish): [Bug 3581754]: Ensure that
+	callbacks are done at most once to prevent problems with timeouts on a
+	keep-alive connection (combined with reentrant http package use)
+	causing excessive stack growth. Not a fix for the underlying problem,

+	Bump http package to 2.8.5.
+
+2012-11-05  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	Added bytecode compilation of many Tcl commands. Some of these are
+	total compilations and some are only partial (i.e., only compile in
+	some cases). The (sub-)commands affected are:
+	* array: exists, set, unset
+	* dict: create, exists, merge
+	* format: (simple cases only)
+	* info: commands, coroutine, level, object
+	* info object: class, isa object, namespace
+	* namespace: current, code, qualifiers, tail, which
+	* regsub: (only cases convertable to simple [string map])
+	* self: (only no-argument and [self object] cases)
+	* string: first, last, map, range
+	* tailcall:

+	[This was work originally done on the 'dkf-compile-misc-info' branch.]
+
+2012-11-05  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#413
+
+	Align the [string trim] and [string is space] commands, such that
+	[string trim] by default trims all characters for which [string is
+	space] returns 1, augmented with the NUL character.
+
+	* generic/tclUtf.c: Add NEL, BOM and two more characters to [string is
+	space]
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Modify [string trim] for Unicode modifications.
+	* generic/regc_locale.c: Regexp engine must match [string is space]
+	* doc/string.n
+	* tests/string.test
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Code that relied on characters not previously trimmed being not
+	removed will notice a difference; it is believed that this is rare,
+	but a workaround to get the behavior in Tcl 8.5 is to use " \t\n\r" as
+	an explicit trim set.

+
+2012-10-16  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#405
+
+	New commands for applying a transformation to the elements of a list
+	to produce another list (the [lmap] command) and to the mappings of a
+	dictionary to produce another dictionary (the [dict map] command). In
+	both cases, a [continue] will cause the skipping of an element/pair,
+	and a [break] will terminate the construction early and successfully.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_LmapObjCmd, TclNRLmapCmd): Implementation of
+	the new [lmap] command, based on (and sharing much of) [foreach].
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictMapNRCmd): Implementation of the new [dict
+	map] subcommand, based on (and sharing much of) [dict for].
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileLmapCmd, TclCompileDictMapCmd):
+	Compilation engines for [lmap] and [dict map].
+
+	IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#400
+
+	* generic/tclZlib.c: Allow the specification of a compression
+	dictionary (a binary blob used to seed the compression engine) in both
+	streams and channel transformations. Also some reorganization to allow
+	for getting gzip header dictionaries and controlling buffering levels
+	in channel transformations (allowing a trade-off between formal
+	correctness and speed).
+	(Tcl_ZlibStreamSetCompressionDictionary): New C API to allow setting
+	the compression dictionary without using a Tcl script.
+
+2012-10-14  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c: [Bug 3576509]: ::tcl::Bgerror crashes with

+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c: [Bug 3522560]: Fixed the crash, enabled the

+	terminology.
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test: [Bug 3522560]: Added a test which crashes the core
+	if it were not disabled as knownBug. For a reflected channel
+	transfered to a different thread the [chan postevent] run in the

+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	The unknown method handler now may be asked to deal with the case
+	where no method name is provided at all. The default implementation
+	generates a compatible error message, and any override that forces the
+	presence of a first argument (i.e., a method name) will continue to

+	via a script sent to the thread asynchronously, which then impacts the
+	error message handling.  Attempt to manually drain the event queue for

+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c: Re-using the "interp" field to signal a dead

+
+	* generic/tclIORTrans.c: Revised ReflectClose() and

+
+2011-09-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+	* generic/tclAssembly.c (AssembleOneLine, GetBooleanOperand)
+	(GetIntegerOperand, GetListIndexOperand, FindLocalVar): [Bug 3384840]:

+
+2011-06-28  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+

+2011-06-22  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	Merge from rmax-ipv6-branch:
+	* unix/tclUnixSock.c: Fix [socket -async], so that all addresses

+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Reverted the fix for [Bug 3274728] committed

+	fix crashed tclsh on Windows 64bit.
+
+2011-06-08  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: Reduce the amount of use of duplication of

+
+2011-06-06  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/socket.test: Add test constraint, so 6.2 and 6.3 don't fail

+
+2011-06-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Removed TclCleanupLiteralTable(), and old

+
+2011-06-02  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclInvalidateNsCmdLookup): [Bug 3185407]: Extend

+
+2011-06-01  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+
+2011-05-17  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclFixupForwardJump): Tracked down and fixed
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclArgumentBCEnter): the cause of a violation of
+	my assertion that 'ePtr->nline == objc' in TclArgumentBCEnter.  When a
+	bytecode was grown during jump fixup the pc -> command line mapping
+	was not updated. When things aligned just wrong the mapping would
+	direct command A to the data for command B, with a different number of
+	arguments.
+
+2011-05-11  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixSock.c (TcpWatchProc): No need to check for server

+	* tests/socket.test (accept): Add tests to make sure that this remains
+	so.
+
+2011-05-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:     New internal routines TclScanElement() and
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:    TclConvertElement() are rewritten guts of
+	machinery to produce string rep of lists.  The new routines avoid and
+	correct [Bug 3173086].  See comments for much more detail.
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c:         Update all callers.
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c:
+	* generic/tclListObj.c:

+
+2011-05-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclListObj.c:	Revise empty string tests so that we avoid

+
+2011-05-07  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclLoad.c (TclGetLoadedPackages): Convert to use Tcl_Obj API

+
+2011-05-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Fix USE_TCLALLOC so that it can be enabled without
+	* unix/Makefile.in: editing the Makefile.
+
+2011-05-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclListObj.c:	Stop generating string rep of dict when
+	converting to list.  Tolerate NULL interps more completely.
+
+2011-05-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	Tighten Tcl_SplitList().

+	* tests/join.test:
+	* tests/mathop.test:
+
+2011-05-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* 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.
+
+	* tests/parse.test:	Tests for expanded literals quoting detection.
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c:	New TclFindElement() is also a better
+	fit for the [switch] compiler.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Replace TclCountSpaceRuns() with
+	* generic/tclListObj.c:	TclMaxListLength() which is the function we
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	actually want.
+	* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c:
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c: Rewrite of parts of the switch compiler to
+	better use the powers of TclFindElement() and do less parsing on its
+	own.
+
+2011-04-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+	2010, in both release and debug builds.
+	* tests/tclTest.c (TestdstringCmd): Restored MSVC buildability broken

+2011-03-12  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h (ckalloc,ckfree,ckrealloc): Moved casts into these
+	macro so that they work with VOID* (which is a void* on all platforms
+	which Tcl actually builds on) and unsigned int for the length
+	parameters, removing the need for MANY casts across the rest of Tcl.
+	Note that this is a strict source-level-only change, so size_t cannot
+	be used (would break binary compatibility on 64-bit platforms).

+	namespaces to _not_ delete the ::tcl namespace.
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl (loadIntoSlaveInterpreter): Added this
+	command to handle connecting tcltest to a slave interpreter. This adds
+	in the hook (inside the tcltest namespace) that allows the tests run
+	in the child interpreter to be reported as part of the main sequence
+	of test results. Bumped version of tcltest to 2.3.3.

+	3120139] by making TclPrintDouble inherently locale-independent, (d)
+	adds test cases to util.test for correct rounding in difficult cases
+	of TclDoubleDigits where fixed- precision results are requested. (e)
+	adds test cases to util.test for the controversial aspects of [Bug
+	3105247]. As a side effect, two more modules from libtommath
+	(bn_mp_set_int.c and bn_mp_init_set_int.c) are brought into the build,

+	* unix/tclUnixSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Added support for

+	* generic/tclAssembly.c:
+	* tests/assembly.test (assemble-17.15): Reworked branch handling so

+2010-10-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclZlib.c (Tcl_ZlibStreamGet): [Bug 3081008]: Ensure that

+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendObjToObj): Added some special

+
+	* tests/http11.test (check_crc): Use a simpler way to express the

+
+	TIP #162 IMPLEMENTATION
+
+	* doc/socket.n:		Document the changes to the [socket] and

+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Introduce TclCreateSocketAddress() as a
+	* generic/tclIOSock.c:	replacement for the platform-dependent

+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c:	the [socket] and [fconfigure] commands to

+
+2010-09-28  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	[dogeen-assembler-branch]
+
+	* tests/assemble.test: Added more "white box" tests.
+	* generic/tclAssembly.c: Added the error checking and reporting
+	for undefined labels. Revised code so that no pointers into the
+	bytecode sequence are held (because the sequence can move!),
+	that no Tcl_HashEntry pointers are held (because the hash table
+	doesn't guarantee their stability!) and to eliminate the BBHash
+	table, which is merely additional information indexed by jump
+	labels and can just as easily be held in the 'label' structure.
+	Renamed shared structures to CamelCase, and renamed 'label' to
+	JumpLabel because other types of labels may eventually be possible.
+
+2010-09-27  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	[dogeen-assembler-branch]
+
+	* tests/assemble.test: Added more "white box" tests.
+	* generic/tclAssembly.c: Fixed bugs exposed by the new tests.
+	(a) [eval] and [expr] had incorrect stack balance computed if
+	the arg was not a simple word. (b) [concat] accepted a negative
+	operand count. (c) [invoke] accepted a zero or negative operand
+	count. (d) more misspelt error messages.
+	Also replaced a funky NRCallTEBC with the new call
+	TclNRExecuteByteCode, necessitated by a merge with changes on the
+	HEAD.
+
+2010-09-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+

+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:    update): a saner NRE.
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:

+
+	[dogeen-assembler-branch]
+
+	* tests/assemble.test:	Added many new tests moving toward a more

+	(a) [bitnot] and [not] had incorrect operand counts. (b)
+	INST_CONCAT cannot concatenate zero objects. (c) misspelt error
+	messages. (d) the "assembly code" internal representation lacked

+
+2010-09-25  Kevin B. Kenny   <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	[dogeen-assembler-branch]
+
+	* generic/tclAssembly.c:	Massive refactoring of the assembler
+	* generic/tclAssembly.h:	to use a Tcl-like syntax (and use
+	* tests/assemble.test:		Tcl_ParseCommand to parse it). The
+	* tests/assemble1.bench:	refactoring also ensures that
+	Tcl_Tokens in the assembler have string ranges inside the source
+	code, which allows for [eval] and [expr] assembler directives
+	that simply call TclCompileScript and TclCompileExpr recursively.
+
+2010-09-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/stringComp.test: improved string eq/cmp test coverage
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): merge INST_STR_CMP and

+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c, macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c:
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: Reduce the level of ifdeffery in the

+
+2010-03-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2010-03-24  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+

+	reveal the name of method types, regularize the name of normal methods
+	to be the name of the definition type used to create them.
+

+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd):		Lift the restriction
+	* generic/tclIO.c (TclCopyChannel, CopyData):	on the [fcopy] command
+	* generic/tclIO.h (CopyState):			that forced it to only
+	copy up to 2GB per script-level callback. Now it is anything that can

+	required removing an extra Tcl_DecrRefCount too.
+
+	* generic/tclOO.h, generic/tclOOInt.h: [Patch 2961556]: Change TclOO
+	to use the same style of function typedefs as Tcl, as this is about

+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Source code that uses function typedefs from TclOO will need to update
+	variables and argument definitions so that pointers to the function
+	values are used instead. Binary compatibility is not affected.
+
+	* generic/*.c, generic/tclInt.h, unix/*.c, macosx/*.c: Applied results
+	of doing a Code Audit. Principal changes:
+	  * Use do { ... } while (0) in macros
+	  * Avoid shadowing one local variable with another
+	  * 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.
+	  * Follow Engineering Manual rules on spacing and declarations
+
+2010-03-04  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOO.c (ObjectRenamedTrace): [Bug 2962664]: Add special

+
+	* generic/tclOOInt.h (ROOT_CLASS): Add new flag for specially marking

+
+	* 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

+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Reduce ifdef-fery and

+
+	* doc/socket.n: [Bug 2957688]: Clarified that [socket -server] works

+
+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.

+	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>

+
+	[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

+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
+	[error] command. No new bytecodes.
+
+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
+	          a static stub table: Just change the exported table from
+	          static to MODULE_SCOPE.

+
+	* 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>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Added more use of error-codes and reduced the

+
+2010-02-02  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Turned the [array] command into a true ensemble.
+
+	* generic/tclOO.c (AllocObject, MyDeleted): A slightly faster way to
+	handle the deletion of [my] is with a standard delete callback. This
+	is because it doesn't require an additional memory allocation during
+	object creation. Also reduced the amount of string manipulation
+	performed during object creation to further streamline memory
+	handling; this is not backported to the 8.5 package as it breaks a
+	number of abstractions.
+
+	* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_Destroy): [Bug 2944404]: Do not
+	crash when a destructor deletes the object that is executing that
+	destructor.
+
+2010-02-01  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): [Bug 2939073]: Stop the [array
+	unset] command from having dangling pointer problems when an unset
+	trace deletes the element that is going to be processed next. Many
+	thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux for the bulk of this fix.
+
+	* generic/regexec.c (ccondissect, crevdissect): [Bug 2942697]: Rework
+	these functions so that certain pathological patterns are matched much
+	more rapidly. Many thanks to Tom Lane for dianosing this issue and
+	providing an initial patch.
+
+2010-01-30  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (tclInstructionTable):	Bytecode instructions

+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclPtrUnsetVar): Var reference version of the code
+	to unset a variable. Required for INST_UNSET bytecodes.
+
+2010-01-29  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: [Bug 2942081]: Reverted Tcl_ThreadDataKey type change
+				Changed some Tcl_CallFrame fields from "char *"
+				to "void *". This saves unnecessary space on
+				Cray's (and it's simply more correct).
+
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl:	No longer generate a space after "*" and
+				immediately after a function name, so the
+				format of function definitions in tcl*Decls.h
+				match all other tcl*.h header files.
+	* doc/ParseArgs.3:	Change Tcl_ArgvFuncProc, Tcl_ArgvGenFuncProc
+	* generic/tcl.h:	and GetFrameInfoValueProc to be function
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	definitions, not pointers, for consistency
+	* generic/tclOOInt.h:	with all other Tcl function definitions.

+2010-01-28  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_Destroy): Move the execution of
+	destructors to a point where they can produce an error. This will not
+	work for all destructors, but it does mean that more failing calls of
+	them will be caught.
+	* generic/tclOO.c (AllocObject, MyDeletedTrace, ObjectRenamedTrace):
+	(ObjectNamespaceDeleted): Stop various ways of getting at commands
+	with dangling pointers to the object. Also increases the reliability
+	of calling of destructors (though most destructors won't benefit; when
+	an object is deleted namespace-first, its destructors are not run in a
+	nice state as the namespace is partially gone).
+
+2010-01-25  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (CreateScriptRecord): [Bug 2918110]: Initialize
+	the EventScriptRecord (esPtr) fully before handing it to
+	Tcl_CreateChannelHandler for registration. Otherwise a reflected
+	channel calling 'chan postevent' (== Tcl_NotifyChannel) in its
+	'watchProc' will cause the function 'TclChannelEventScriptInvoker'
+	to be run on an uninitialized structure.
+
+2010-01-18  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendFormatToObj): [Bug 2932421]: Stop

+	* generic/tclIO.c: [Bug 2901998]: Applied Alexandre Ferrieux's patch
+	fixing the inconsistent buffered I/O. Tcl's I/O now flushes buffered
+	output before reading, discards buffered input before writing, etc.
+
+2009-12-09  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Ensure right lifetime of varFrame's (objc,objv)

+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Code regrouping
+
+2009-12-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

+
+2009-12-08  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:   Partial nre-enabling of coroutines. The

+	* generic/tclInt.h:     instance of tebc, but on resume coros can
+	execute in the caller's tebc.

+
+2009-12-08  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Make the dict opcodes

+	activiation record a little bit.
+
+2009-12-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): Grouping "slow" variables into structs,

+
+2009-12-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+

+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:   [Bug 2910094]: Fix by aku
+	* tests/coroutine.test:
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Arrange for [tailcall] to be created with the

+
+2009-12-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStrToD.c: [Bug 2902010]: Correct conditional compile

+2009-11-27  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c (Tcl_AppInit): [Bug 2902965]: Reverted Jan's change
+	that added a call to Tcl_InitStubs. The 'tclsh' and 'tcltest' programs
+	are providers, not consumers of the Stubs table, and should not link
+	with the Stubs library, but only with the main Tcl library. (In any
+	case, the presence of Tcl_InitStubs broke the build.)

+
+2009-11-26  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Add .PHONY rules and documentation to preemptively
+	stop trouble that plagued Tk from hitting Tcl too, and to make the

+
+2009-11-26  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:	instead of AC_STRUCT_ST_BLKSIZE.
+	* unix/configure:	Regenerated with autoconf-2.59.
+
+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.

+
+2009-11-23  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-30.1): Changed registry location of the 'My

+
+2009-11-06  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/safe.tcl (::safe::Setup): Added documentation of the
+	contents of the state array. Also killed the 'InterpState' procedure
+	with its upleveled variable/upvar combination, and replaced all uses
+	with 'namespace upvar'.
+
+2009-11-05  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/safe.tcl: A series of patches which bring the SafeBase up to
+	date with code guidelines, Tcl's features, also eliminating a number
+	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.
+
+2009-11-02  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+
+2009-11-01  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+	* 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.
+
+2009-11-01  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/Eval.3, doc/Cancel.3: Move TIP#285 routines out of Eval.3 into

+
+	* tests/tcltest.test: When creating the notwritabledir we deny the
+	current user access to delete the file. We must grant this right when

+	have administrator rights.
+
+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].

+	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.

+	* tests/dict.test: Make variable-clean and simplify tests by utilizing

+	* library/clock.tcl (LocalizeFormat):
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-67.1):

+
+2009-10-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* 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.
+
+2009-10-28  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/fileName.test (fileName-20.[78]): Corrected poor test
+	hygiene (failure to save and restore the working directory) that
+	caused these two tests to fail on Windows (and [Bug 2806250] to be
+	reopened).
+
+2009-10-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (FlushChannel): Skip OutputProc for low-level

+
+2009-10-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	Removed the long outdated and broken targets
+	package-* that were for building Solaris packages.  Appears that the
+	pieces needed for these targets to function have never been present in
+	the current era of Tcl development and belong completely to Tcl
+	pre-history.
+
+2009-10-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c:      [Patch 2107634]: Revised ReadChars and
+	FilterInputBytes routines to permit reads to continue up to the string

+	panic when as little as half the limiting value length was reached.
+	Thanks to Sean Morrison and Bob Parker for their roles in the fix.

+
+2009-10-18  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+	* tests/thread.test (thread-4.[345]): [Bug 1565466]: Correct tests to
+	save their error state before the final call to threadReap just in

+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (UnsetVarStruct, TclDeleteNamespaceVars)

+
+	* generic/tclObj.c: [Bug 2871908]: Plug memory leaks of objThreadMap
+	and lineCLPtr hashtables.  Also make the names of the continuation

+	consistent. Patch supplied by Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>.
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c (ErrnoReturn): Replace hardwired constant 11
+	with proper errno #define, EAGAIN. What was I thinking? The BSD's have
+	a different errno assignment and break with the hardwired number.
+	Reported by emiliano on the chat.
+
+2009-10-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (SlaveEval): Agressive stomping of internal reps
+	was added as part of the NRE patch of 2008-07-13.  This doesn't appear
+	to actually be needed, and it hurts quite a bit when large lists lose
+	their intreps and require reparsing.  Thanks to Ashok Nadkarni for
+	reporting the problem.
+
+	* generic/tclTomMathInt.h (new): Public header tclTomMath.h had
+	* generic/tclTomMath.h:	dependence on private headers, breaking use
+	* generic/tommath.h:	by extensions [Bug 1941434].
+
+2009-10-05  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/safe.tcl (AliasGlob): Fixed conversion of catch to

+2009-09-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	Replaced TclProcessReturn() calls with

+
+	* unix/tclooConfig.sh, win/tclooConfig.sh: [Bug 2026844]: Added dummy

+
+2009-09-17  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:	Re-implement Tcl_SubstObj() as a simple
+	* generic/tclParse.c:	wrapper around TclNRSubstObj().  This has
+	* tests/basic.test:	the effect of caching compiled bytecode in
+	* tests/parse.test:	the value to be substituted.  Note that
+	Tcl_SubstObj() now exists only for extensions.  Tcl itself no longer
+	makes any use of it.  Note also that TclSubstTokens() is now reachable
+	only by Tcl_EvalEx() and Tcl_ParseVar() so tests aiming to test its
+	functioning needed adjustment to still have the intended effect.

+
+	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].

+
+2009-02-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* 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.
+
+2009-02-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c:	[Bug 2571597]: Fixed mistaken logic in

+	"absolute") => "relative". This is a false assumption on Windows,
+	where "volumerelative" is another possibility.
+
+2009-02-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Simplify the logic of the
+	Tcl_*SetObjLength() routines.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Rewrite GrowStringBuffer() so that it
+	has parallel structure with GrowUnicodeBuffer().  The revision permits
+	allocation attempts to continue all the way up to failure, with no
+	gap. It also directly manipulates the String and Tcl_Obj internals
+	instead of inefficiently operating via Tcl_*SetObjLength() with all of
+	its extra protections and underdocumented special cases.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Another round of simplification on
+	the allocation macros.
+
+2009-02-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tcl.m4, win/configure: Check if cl groks _WIN64 already to

+	Use 'd'ebug runtime in 64-bit builds.
+
+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
+	additional slots in that array with sizeof(Tcl_UniChar) bytes per
+	slot. This revision makes the allocation macros much simpler.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Factor out common GrowUnicodeBuffer()
+	and solve overflow and growth algorithm fallbacks in it.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Factor out common GrowStringBuffer().
+
+	* 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.

+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	[Bug 2603158]: Added protections from
+	* generic/tclTestObj.c:		invalid memory accesses when we append
+	* tests/stringObj.test:		(some part of) a Tcl_Obj to itself.
+	Added the appendself and appendself2 subcommands to the
+	[teststringobj] testing command and added tests to the test suite.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Factor out duplicate code from
+	Tcl_AppendObjToObj.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Replace the 'size_t uallocated' field
+	of the String struct, storing the number of bytes allocated to store
+	the Tcl_UniChar array, with an 'int maxChars' field, storing the
+	number of Tcl_UniChars that may be stored in the allocated space.
+	This reduces memory requirement a small bit, and makes some range
+	checks simpler to code.
+	* generic/tclTestObj.c:	Replace the [teststringobj ualloc] testing
+	* tests/stringObj.test:	command with [teststringobj maxchars] and
+	update the tests.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Removed limitation in
+	Tcl_AppendObjToObj where the char length of the result was only
+	computed if the appended string was all single byte characters.
+	This limitation was in place to dodge a bug in Tcl_GetUniChar.
+	With that bug gone, we can take advantage of always recording the
+	length of append results when we know it.
+
+2009-02-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Revisions so that we avoid creating
+	the strange representation of an empty string with
+	objPtr->bytes == NULL and stringPtr->hasUnicode == 0.  Instead in
+	the situations where that was being created, create a traditional
+	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.
+
+	* generic/tclTestObj.c:	Revise updates to [teststringobj] so we don't
+	get blocked by MODULE_SCOPE limits.
+
+2009-02-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Rewrites of the routines
+	Tcl_GetCharLength, Tcl_GetUniChar, Tcl_GetUnicodeFromObj,
+	Tcl_GetRange, and TclStringObjReverse to use the new macro, and
+	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
+	replacement for a full Tcl_NumUtfChars() call when the string has all
+	single-byte characters.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Simplified Tcl_GetCharLength by
+	* generic/tclTestObj.c:		removing code that did nothing.
+	Added early returns from Tcl_*SetObjLength when the desired length
+	is already present; adapted test command to the change.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Re-implemented AppendUtfToUnicodeRep
+	so that we no longer pass through Tcl_DStrings which have their own
+	sets of problems when lengths overflow the int range.  Now AUTUR and
+	FillUnicodeRep share a common core routine.

+
+	* generic/tclOODefineCmds.c (TclOOGetDefineCmdContext): Use the

+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Changed type of the 'allocated' field

+	of this structure so that extensions that write it (yuk!) will still
+	be able to function correctly.
+
+2009-02-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (SetUnicodeObj):	[Bug 2561488]:
+	Corrected failure of Tcl_SetUnicodeObj() to panic on a shared object.
+	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
+	likely when this happens that an integer overflow is to blame.
+
+2009-02-01  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: Allow nmake flags such as -a (rebuild all) to pass
+	down to the pkgs targets, too.
+
+2009-01-30  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* 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
+	implementation.
+
+2009-01-27  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOODefineCmds.c (Tcl_ClassSetConstructor):
+	[Bug 2531577]: Ensure that caches of constructor chains are cleared
+	when the constructor is changed.
+
+2009-01-26  Alexandre Ferrieux  <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:   [Bug 1028264]: WSACleanup() too early.
+	* generic/tclEvent.c: The fix introduces "late exit handlers" for
+	* win/tclWinSock.c:   similar late process-wide cleanups.
+
+2009-01-26  Alexandre Ferrieux  <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c: [Bug 2446662]: Resync Win behavior on RST with
+	that of unix (EOF).
+
+2009-01-26  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclZlib.c (ChanClose): [Bug 2536400]: Only generate error
+	messages in the interpreter when the thread is not being closed down.
+
+2009-01-23  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/zlib.n: Added a note that 'zlib push' is reversed by 'chan pop'.
+
+2009-01-22  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:	CONSTify TclPrintInstruction (TIP #27)
+	* generic/tclCompile.c
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	CONSTify TclpNativeJoinPath (TIP #27)
+	* generic/tclFileName.c
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	{unix win} is equivalent to {generic}
+	* generic/tclInt.decls
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	(regenerated)
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h
+	* generic/tclGetDate.y:	Single internal const decoration.
+	* generic/tclDate.c:
+
+2009-01-22  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: Corrected a typo ($(SHLIB_VERSION) should be
+	${SHLIB_VERSION}).
+	* 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.

+	This means that it won't get byte compiled though, which should be

+	to the compile flags. [Bug 942 2228 1312]

+
+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:

+
+	* 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

+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

+1999-11-29  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

+	* tests/scan.test:
+	* generic/tclScan.c: fixed scan where %[..] didn't match anything and
+	added test case. [Bug 3700]
+
+1999-11-24  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+	* doc/open.n:
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c: adopted patch from Schroedter to handle
+	fconfigure $sock -lasterror on Windows. [RFE 3368]
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: made SORTMODE_INTEGER work with Longs [Bug 3652]
+
+1999-11-23  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Fixed bug where tcltest output went
+	to stdout instead of the specified output file in some cases.
+
+1999-11-19  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c: backed out change from 1999-11-18 as it could
+	affect return string from upvar as well.
+
+	* tools/tcl.wse.in: added tcltest1.0 library to distribution list

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

+	* doc/http.n:
+	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: added register and unregister commands to
+	http:: package (better support for tls/SSL), as well as -type argument
+	to http::geturl. [RFE 2617]
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: removed extra decr of numLevels in Tcl_EvalObjEx
+	that could cause seg fault. (mjansen@wendt.de)

+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

+
+	* win/tclWinTest.c: added testvolumetype command, as atime is
+	completely ignored for Windows FAT file systems

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

+	* tests/string.test:
+	* 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]

+
+	* 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

+
+1999-07-30  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: added declaractions necessary for the Tcl test
+	code to work wth stubs. [Bug 2445]
+
+1999-07-30  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
+	* win/Makefile.in: Fixing launching of 16-bit apps on Win9x from wish.
+	The command line was primed with tclpip82.dll, but it was ignored.
+	Fixed that, then fixed the gmake makefile to build tclpip82.dll as an
+	executable.
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c: Applied small patch to get thread-specific data
+	after initializing the socket driver.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Applied patch to fix threads on Irix 6.5. Patch
+	from James Dennett. [Bug 2450]

+	brackets. [Bug 2382, 2466]
+
+1999-07-29  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinChan.c: Allow tcl to open CON and NUL, even for std
+	channels. Checking for bad/unusable std channels was moved to Tk since
+	its only purpose was to check whether to use the Tk Console Window for
+	the std channels. [Bug 2393 2392 2209 2458]
+
+	* unix/mkLinks.tcl: Applied patch to avoid linking pack.n to
+	pack-old.n. Patch from Don Porter. [Bug 2469]
+
+	* doc/Encoding.n: Applied patch to fix typo in .SH NAME line. Patch
+	from Don Porter. [Bug 2451]

+
+1999-07-28  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test:
+	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Fixed the condition under which
+	::tcltest::PrintError had an infinite loop problem and added a test
+	case for it. Added an optional argument to ::tcltest::getMatchingFiles
+	telling it where to search for test files.
+
+1999-07-27  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tools/tclSplash.bmp: Updated Windows installer bitmap to ready
+	Tcl/Tk Version 8.2.
+
+1999-07-26  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test: Need to close the new core file, there seems to
+	be a hang in threaded WinNT if the file isn't closed. Open issue, need
+	to fix that hang.
+
+	* tests/httpold.test: Add time delay in response from Http server so
+	that test cases can properly detect timeout conditions with threads
+	enabled on multi-CPU WinNT.
+
+	* tests/winFCmd.test: Test case winFcmd-1.33 was looking for
+	c:\windows, which may not exist. Instead, create a new directory on
+	c:\ and use it for the test.
+
+	* win/tclWinConsole.c:
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
+	* win/tclWinSock.c: Fix terminating helper threads by holding any
+	mutexes from the primary thread while waiting for the helper thread to
+	terminate. Without these changes, the test suite hangs on WinNT with 2
+	CPUs and threads enabled. Open issue, seems to be a sporadic hang on
+	dual CPU systems still (very rare).
+
+1999-07-26  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test:
+	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl:
+	* doc/tcltest.n: Cleaned up code in ::tcltest::PrintError, revised
+	documentation, and added tests for the tcltest package.
+
+1999-07-23  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/info.test:
+	* generic/tclParse.c: Removed patch for info command, breaks test
+	cases on Unix. Patch was bad and needs to be redone properly. [Bug
+	2382]
+
+1999-07-22  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* Changed version to 8.2b2.
+

+	* win/safe.test: Fixed safe-6.3 with threads enabled.
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: Fixed calling of tcltest to fix safe.test failures
+	due to path TCL_LIBRARY path.
+
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: Block out include of sys/*.h in order to build
+	extensions with MetroWerks compiler for Win32. [Bug 2385]
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
+	* generic/tclIO.c: Fix ANSI-style prototypes based on patch from
+	Ulrich Ring. [Bug 2391]
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Need to make install-sh executable before calling
+	(with chmod +x). [Bug 2413]
+
+	* tests/var.test:
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Fixed bug that caused a seg. fault when using
+	"array set a(b) {}", which is a bad array name anyway. Now the "array
+	set" command will return an error in this case. Added test case and
+	fixed existing test. [Bug 2427]
+
+1999-07-21  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/info.test:
+	* generic/tclParse.c: Applied patch to fix "info complete" for the
+	string {[a [b]}. Patch from Peter Spjuth. [Bug 2382]
+
+	* doc/Utf.3:
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclUtf.c: Changed function declarations in
+	non-platform-specific public APIs to use "unsigned long" instead of
+	"size_t", which may not be defined on certain compilers (rather than
+	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.
+
+	* doc/open.n: Added documentation of \\.\comX notation for opening
+	serial ports on Windows (alternative to comX:).
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test:
+	* doc/open.n:
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c: Applied patch from Rolf Schroedter to add
+	-pollinterval option to fconfigure to modify the maxblocktime used in
+	the fileevent polling. Added documentation and fixed the test case as
+	well.
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c: Modified 8.1.0 version of the Win32 socket driver
+	to move the handling of the socket event window in a separate thread.
+	It also turned out that Win95 & Win98 were, in some cases, getting
+	multiple FD_ACCEPTs but only handling one. Added a count for the
+	FD_ACCEPT to take care of this. Tested on NT4 SP3, NT4 SP4, Win95, and
+	Win98. [Bug 2178 2256 2259 2329 2323 2355]
+
+1999-07-21  Jerry Peek  <jpeek@scriptics.com>
+
+	* README: Small tweaks to clean up typos and wording.
+
+1999-07-20  Melissa Hirschl  <hershey@matisse.scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInitScript.h:
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: merged code with 8.0.5. We now use an
+	intermediate global tcl var "tclDefaultLibrary" to keep the
+	"tcl_library" var from being set by the default value in the Makefile.
+	Also fixed a bug in which caused the value of TCL_LIBRARY env var to
+	be ignored.
+	* unix/tclWinInit.c: just updated some comments.
+
+1999-07-19  Melissa Hirschl  <hershey@matisse.scriptics.com>
+

+1999-07-12  Jerry Peek  <jpeek@scriptics.com>
+
+	* doc/re_syntax.n: Removed two notes to myself (oops), cleaned up
+	wording, fixed changebars, made two examples easier to read.
+
+1999-07-11  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: Since the makefile.vc should continue to work while
+	we're working out bugs/issues in the new TEA-style
+	autoconf/configure/gmake build mechanism for Windows, the version
+	numbers of the Tcl libraries need to remain in sync. Modified the
+	version numbers in the makefile to reflect the change to 8.2b1.
+
+1999-07-09  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/configure.in: Eval DLLSUFFIX, LIBSUFFIX, and EXESUFFIX in the
+	configure script so that substitutions get expanded before being
+	placed in the Makefile. The "d" portion for debug libraries and DLLs
+	was not being set properly.
+
+1999-07-08  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/string.test:

+	for 1-letter flag abbreviations.
+
+1999-07-08  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: Added tcltest target so runtest works properly.
+	Added missing names to the clean/distclean targets.

+	standard channels. [Bug 2335]
+
+1999-07-06  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* 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
+	threads, there is a max. 10ms latency between checking the port for
+	file events. [Bug 1980 2217]
+
+1999-07-06  Brent Welch  <welch@scriptics.com>
+
+	* library/http2.0/http.tcl: Fixed the -timeout option so it handles
+	timeouts that occur during connection attempts to hosts that are down
+	(the only case that really matters!)
+
+1999-07-03  Brent Welch  <welch@scriptics.com>
+
+	* doc/ChnlStack.3:
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* generic/tclIO.c: Added a new variant of the "Trf patch" from Andreas
+	Kupres that adds new C APIs Tcl_StackChannel, Tcl_UnstackChannel, and

+	runtime. The Xt notifier and test program use this hook.
+
+1999-07-03  Brent Welch  <welch@scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c: Changed parsing of variable names to allow empty
+	array names. Now "$(foo)" is a variable reference! Previous you had to
+	use something like $::(foo), which is slower. This change is requested
+	by Jean-Luc Fontaine for his STOOOP package.
+
+1999-07-01  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:

+	* tests/all.tcl: Added -preservecore, -limitconstraints, -help, -file,
+	-notfile, -relateddir and -asidefromdir flags to the tcltest package
+	along with exported proc ::tcltest::getMatchingFiles. The
+	documentation was modified to match and all.tcl was modified to use
+	the new functionality instead of implementing -file itself.
+
+1999-06-28  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c:
+	* doc/GetIndex.3:
+	* tests/binary.test:
+	* tests/winDde.test: Applied patch from Peter Hardie (with changes) to
+	fix problem with Tcl_GetIndexFromObj() when the key being passed is
+	the empty string. It used to match "" and return TCL_OK, but it should
+	have returned TCL_ERROR instead. Added test case to "binary" and "dde"
+	commands to check the behavior. Added documentation note as well.
+
+1999-06-26  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinDde.c: Applied patch from Peter Hardie to add poke command

+	* library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl:
+	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl:
+	* library/tcltest1.0: Added initial implementation of the Tcl test
+	harness package. This package was based on the defs.tcl file that was
+	part of the tests directory. Reversed the way that tests were
+	evaluated to fix a problem with false passes.
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n: Added documentation for the tcltest package.
+
+	* tests/README:
+	* tests/defs.tcl:
+	* tests/all.tcl: Modified all test files (tests/*.test) and all.tcl to

+	* generic/tclRegexp.c:
+	* 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

+	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

+	* tests/string.test: Fixed bug where string map failed on null strings
+
+	* generic/regexec.c:

+
+1999-06-08  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c: Rolled back to the 8.1.0 implementation because of
+	serious problems with the new driver. Basically no incoming socket

+
+1999-06-04  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/configure.in:
+	* win/Makefile.in: Windows build now handles static/dynamic

+	* generic/tclStubLib.c: Various header file related changes and other
+	lint to try to get the Mac builds working.
+
+1999-05-21  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Fix bug when launching command.com on Win95/98.
+	Need to wait for the procInfo.hProcess of the process that was
+	created, not the hProcess of the current process. [Bug 2105]
+
+1999-05-20  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* library/init.tcl: Add the directory where the executable is, and the
+	../lib directory relative to that, to the auto_path variable.
+
+1999-05-19  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	Merged in various changes submitted by Jeff Hobbs:
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* generic/tclUtf.c: Added Tcl_UniCharIs* functions for control, graph,
+	print, and punct classes.
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:
+	* doc/StrMatch.3: Added Tcl_StringCaseMatch() implementation to
+	support case-insensitive globbing.
+
+	* doc/string.n:
+	* unix/mkLinks:
+	* tests/string.test:
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Added additional character class tests, added
+	-nocase switch to "string match", changed string first/last to use
+	offsets.
+
+1999-05-19  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Add extern "C" block around entire header file for
+	C++ compilers to fix linkage issues. Submitted by Don Porter and Paul
+	Duffin.
+
+	* generic/tclRegexp.c: Fix bug when the regexp cache is empty and an
+	empty pattern is used in regexp ( such as {} or "" ).
+
+1999-05-18  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinChan.c: Modified initialization code to avoid inherenting
+	closed or invalid channels. If the standard input is anything other
+	than a console, file, serial port, or pipe, then we fall back to the
+	standard Tk window console.
+
+1999-05-14  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ForObjCmd): Fixed crash caused by failure to
+	reset the result before evaluating the test expression.
+
+1999-05-14  Bryan Surles  <surles@scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Added introspection variable
+	for threaded interps. If the interp was compiled with threads enabled,
+	the tcl_platform(threaded) variable will exist.
+
+1999-05-14  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tclDate.c: Applied patch to fix 100-year and 400-year
+	boundaries in leap year code, from Isaac Hollander. [Bug 2066]
+
+1999-05-13  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/tclAppInit.c: Minor cleanup related to Xt notifier.
+
+	* 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
+	exmh. [Bug 1063]
+
+1999-05-12  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* doc/tclsh.1: Updated references to rc script names to accurately
+	reflect the platform differences on Windows.
+
+	* tests/regexp.test:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclRegexp.h:
+	* generic/tclRegexp.c: Replaced the per-interpreter regexp cache with
+	a per-thread cache. Changed the Regexp object to take advantage of
+	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
+	the value can be determined from the USERNAME environment variable.
+	GetUserName is very slow.
+
+1999-05-07  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/winDumpExts.c:
+	* win/makefile.vc: Removed incorrect patch. [Bug 1998]
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls: Replaced const with CONST.
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_AppendResultVA):
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendStringsToObjVA): Fixed to copy
+	arglist using memcpy instead of assignment so it works properly on
+	OS/390. [Bug 1997]
+
+	* generic/tclLoadNone.c: Updated to use current interfaces, added
+	TclpUnloadFile. [Bug 2003]
+
+	* win/winDumpExts.c:
+	* win/makefile.vc: Changed to emit library name in defs file. [Bug
+	1998]
+
+	* unix/configure.in: Added fix for OS/390. [Bug 1976]
+
+1999-05-06  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/string.test:
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
+	* doc/string.n: Fixed bug in string equal/compare code when using
+	-length option. Cleaned up docs a bit more.
+
+	* tests/http.test: Unset "data" array before running tests to avoid
+	failures due to previous tests.
+
+	* doc/string.n:
+	* tests/cmdIL.test:
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test:
+	* tests/error.test:
+	* tests/ioCmd.test:
+	* tests/lindex.test:

+	* tests/lrange.test:
+	* tests/lreplace.test:
+	* tests/string.test:
+	* tests/cmdIL.test:
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Replaced "string icompare/iequal" with -nocase
+	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/tclStubInit.c:
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclUtf.c:
+	* generic/tcl.decls: Added Tcl_UtfNcmp and Tcl_UtfNcasecmp.
+
+1999-05-05  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: Added encoding directory to install-libraries
+	target.
+
+1999-05-03  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* doc/string.n:
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test:
+	* tests/string.test:
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Changed "string length" to
+	avoid regenerating the string rep of a ByteArray object.
+
+	* tests/cmdIL.test:
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test:
+	* tests/error.test:
+	* tests/lindex.test:
+	* tests/linsert.test:
+	* tests/lrange.test:
+	* tests/lreplace.test:
+	* tests/string.test:
+	* 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>
+
+	* Merged changes from 8.1.0 branch:
+
+	* 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
+	table pointer declaration so the stub library can be used from C++.
+	[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
+	declarations in stub initializers.
+
+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
+	encoding. [Bug 1771]
+
+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.
+
+1999-04-15  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* Merged 8.1 back into the main trunk
+
+1999-04-13  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* library/encoding/gb2312.enc:
+	* library/encoding/euc-cn.enc:
+	* tools/encoding/gb2312.txt:
+	* tools/encoding/cp950.txt:
+	* tools/encoding/Makefile: Restored the double byte definition of
+	GB2312 and added the EUC-CN encoding. EUC-CN is a variant of GB2312
+	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
+	FD_WRITE is sent but FD_CONNECT is not. Some strange problem with
+	either Win32 or a socket driver. [Bug 1664 1776]
+
+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
+	the write() function to feed data down that pipe, unlock the
+	notifierMutex to allow the notifier to wake up again. Found as a
+	result of the focus.test for Tk hanging. [Bug 1700]
+
+1999-04-06  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/unixNotfy.test: Fixed hang in tests when built with thread
+	support.
+
+	* tests/httpold.test: Fixed broken test that didn't wait long enough
+	for events to arrive.
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test: Fixed race condition in test.
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test:
+	* tests/fileName.test: Minor test nits.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): Fixed bad initial
+	encoding string.
+
+1999-04-06  Bryan Surles  <surles@scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c:
+	* generic/tclEnv.c: Moved the "array set" C level code into a common
+	routine (TclArraySet). The TclSetupEnv routine now uses this API to
+	create an env array w/ no elements.
+
+	* generic/tclEnv.c:
+	* generic/tclWinInit.h:
+	* generic/tclUnixInit.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Made the Env module I18N compliant. Changed the
+	FindVariable routine to TclpFindVariable, that now does a case
+	insensitive string comparison on Windows, and not on UNIX. [Bug 1299,
+	1500]
+
+1999-04-05  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/io.test: Minor test cleanup.
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (Tcl_CreateEncoding): Minor lint to make it
+	easier to compile on Digital-unix. [Bug 1659]
+
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: Applied patch for OS/390 to handle lack of
+	sys/param.h. [Bug 1725]
+
+	* unix/configure.in: Fixed BSD/OS 4.* configuration to support shared
+	libraries properly. [Bug 1730]
+
+1999-04-05  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinDde.c: decrease timeout value for DDE calls to 30k. [Bug
+	1639]
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* generic/tclUtil.c: Added more functions to the Tcl stubs table,
+	including all Tcl_ functions not already in it (except Cmd functions)
+	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
+	a safe alias to mask out the "encoding system <name>" but allow all
+	other uses including "encoding system". Added test cases and updated
+	the man page for Safe Tcl.
+
+1999-04-05  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/winTime.test:
+	* win/tclWinTime.c: Fixed crash in clock command that occurred when
+	manipulating negative time values in timezones east of GMT. [Bug
+	1142, 1458]
+
+	* tests/platform.test:
+	* tests/fileName.test: Fixed broken tests.
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: Moved global regexps into thread local
+	storage.
+
+	* tests/socket.test: Changed so tests don't reuse sockets, since
+	Windows is slow to release sockets.
+
+	* win/tclWinConsole.c:
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c: Fixed race condition where background threads
+	were terminated while they still held a lock in the notifier.
+
+1999-04-02  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/http.test: Fixed bad test initialization code.
+
+	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (ThreadExitProc): Fixed bug where static
+	memory was being returned instead of a dynamically allocated result in
+	error cases.
+
+1999-04-02  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* doc/dde.n:
+	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/pkgIndex.tcl:
+	* win/tclWinDde.c: Add new DDE package, code removed from Tk now
+	separated into its own package. Changed DDE-based send code into "dde
+	eval" command. Can be loaded into tclsh (not just wish). Windows only.
+
+1999-04-02  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>

+	* generic/tclUtf.c:
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: Made various Unicode utility functions public. The
+	following functions were made public and added to the stubs table:
+		Tcl_UtfToUniCharDString, Tcl_UniCharToUtfDString,
+		Tcl_UniCharLen, Tcl_UniCharNcmp, Tcl_UniCharIsAlnum,
+		Tcl_UniCharIsAlpha, Tcl_UniCharIsDigit, Tcl_UniCharIsLower,
+		Tcl_UniCharIsSpace, Tcl_UniCharIsUpper, Tcl_UniCharIsWordChar
+
+1999-04-01  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/registry.test:
+	* win/tclWinReg.c: Internationalized the registry code. It now uses
+	Unicode interfaces on NT. [Bug 1197]
+
+	* tests/parse.test:
+	* generic/tclParse.c: Fixed crash due to multiple frees in parser
+	during error cleanup when parsing commands with more tokens than will
+	fit in the static area of the parse structure. [Bug 1681]
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Removed duplicate declarations.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tcl.decls: Added Tcl_WinUtfToTChar and Tcl_WinTCharToUtf to
+	the tclPlat table.
+

+	* generic/StubInit.c:
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl:
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* win/makefile.vc: Applied patch from Jan Nijtmans to fix Ultrix
+	multiple symbol definition problem. Now, even Tcl includes a copy of
+	the Tcl stub library. Also fixed TCL_MEM_DEBUG mode (for Tk).
+
+1999-03-31  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinConsole.c: WinNT has a bug when reading a single character
+	from the console. Rewrote the code for the console to read an entire
+	line at a time using the reader thread.
+
+1999-03-30  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Removed trailing backslash that broke the "depend"
+	target.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): Changed to avoid
+	calling setlocale(). We now look directly at env(LANG) and
+	env(LC_CTYPE) instead. [Bug 1636]
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c:
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:
+	* generic/tcl.decls: Removed CONST from Tcl_JoinPath and
+	Tcl_TranslateFileName because it changes the signature of Tcl_JoinPath
+	in an incompatible manner.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclLoad.c (TclFinalizeLoad):
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Defer unloading of loadable
+	modules until all exit handlers have been invoked. [Bug 998, 1273,
+	1573, 1593]
+
+1999-03-29  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+

+	the stub macros to just use the name without params. Pass &tclStubs
+	into the interp (don't use tclStubsPtr because of collisions with the
+	stubs on Solaris).
+
+1999-03-27  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.bc: Removed makefile for Borland compiler, no longer

+
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c:
+	* win/tclWinConsole.c:
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Don't close the Win32 handle for a channel if it's
+	a stdio handle (GetStdHandle()) during shutdown of a thread to prevent
+	it from destroying the stdio of other threads.
+
+1999-03-26  Suresh Ankolekar  <suresh@scriptics.com>
+
+	* unix/configure.in: --nameble-shared is now the default and build Tcl
+	as a shared library; specify --disable-shared to build a static Tcl
+	library and shell.
+
+1999-03-25  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/interp.test:
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (AliasObjCmd): Changed so aliases are invoked at
+	current scope in the target interpreter instead of at the global
+	scope. This was an incompatibility introduced in 8.1 that is being
+	removed. [Bug 1153, 1556]
+
+	* library/encoding/big5.enc:
+	* library/encoding/gb2312.enc:
+	* tools/encoding/big5.enc:
+	* tools/encoding/gb2312.enc: Added ASCII to big5 and gb2312 encodings.
+	[Bug 632]
+
+	* generic/tclPkg.c (Tcl_PkgRequireEx): Fixed broken clientData
+	initialization in package code.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in (dist): Added tcl.decls and tclInt.decls to source
+	distribution. [Bug 1571]
+
+	* doc/Thread.3: Updated documentation of Tcl_MutexLock to indicate
+	that the recursive locking behavior is undefined. On Windows, it does
+	not block, on Unix it deadlocks. [Bug 1275]
+
+1999-03-24  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/execute.test:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Fixed expression code
+	that incorrectly returned floating point values for integers if the
+	internal rep happened to be a double. Now we check to see if the
+	object has a string rep that looks like an integer before using the
+	double internal rep. [Bug 1516]
+
+1999-03-24  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tclAlloc.c:
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c:
+	* generic/tclProc.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c:
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c: Fixed compilation warnings/errors for VC++ 5.0
+	and 6.0 and HP-UX native compiler without -Aa or -Ae. [Bug 1323 1518
+	1324 1583 1585 1586]
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c: Make sockets thread-safe on Windows. The current
+	implementation uses windows to handle events on the socket, one for
+	each thread (thread local storage). Previously, there was only one
+	window shared between threads, which didn't work. [Bug 1326]
+
+1999-03-23  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tools/tcl.wse: Fixed file association to look in the right place for
+	the wish icon. [Bug 1544]
+
+	* tests/winNotify.test:
+	* tests/ioCmd.test:
+	* tests/event.test: Changed to use new style conditionals.
+
+	* tests/encoding.test: Fixed nonportable test.
+
+	* unix/dltest/configure.in:
+	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Added missing DBGX macros. [Bug 1564]
+
+	* tests/winNotify.test:
+	* mac/tclMacNotify.c:
+	* win/tclWinNotify.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
+	* generic/tclNotify.c: Added a new Tcl_ServiceModeHook interface that
+	is invoked whenever the service mode changes. This is needed to allow
+	the Windows notifier to create a communication window the first time
+	Tcl is about to enter an external modal event loop instead of at
+	startup time. This will avoid the various problems that people have
+	been seeing where the system hangs when tclsh is running outside of
+	the event loop. [Bug 783]
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tcl.decls: Renamed TclpAlertNotifier back to
+	Tcl_AlertNotifier since it is part of the public notifier driver API.
+
+1999-03-23  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c: Fixed problem with fileevent on the serial port
+	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.
+
+1999-03-22  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/reg.test:
+	* generic/regc_color.c: Applied regexp bug fix from Henry Spencer.
+
+1999-03-19  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: Fixed the initialization of an array so that the
+	Sun 5.0 C compiler wouldn't complain.
+
+	* unix/configure.in: Added support for --enable-64bit. For now, this
+	is only supported on Solaris 7 64bit (SunOS 5.7) using the Sun
+	compiler (not gcc).
+
+1999-03-18  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel, Tcl_MakeFileChannel): Changed
+	to only test for console or comm handles when the type is
+	FILE_TYPE_CHAR to avoid useless tests on simple files. Also reordered
+	tests so consoles are tested first as this is more common.
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: Regularized usage of mkd and rmd and rm.
+
+	* library/encoding/shiftjis.enc:
+	* tools/encoding/shiftjis.txt: Missing/incorrect characters in
+	shift-jis table. [Bug 1008, 1526]
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tcl.decls: Eliminated use of "string" and "list" from
+	argument lists to avoid conflicts with C++ STL. [Bug 1181]
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchFiles): Changed to ignore the
+	FS_CASE_IS_PRESERVED bit and always return exactly what we get from
+	the system.

+
+	* win/tclWinConsole.c:
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c: Changed so channel drivers wait for the
+	reader/writer threads to exit before returning during a close
+	operation. This ensures that the main thread is the last thread to
+	exit, so the process return value is set properly.
+
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:

+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: Changed "const" to "CONST" in declarations for
+	better portability.
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls: Renamed panic and panicVA to Tcl_Panic and
+	Tcl_PanicVA in the stub files.
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_MakeSafe): Remove tcl_platform(user) from
+	safe interps.
+
+1999-03-11  Scott Stanton  <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/configure.in: Include compat files in the stub library in
+	addition to the main library. Compat files are now built for dynamic
+	use in all cases.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Changed magic number so it doesn't match the plus
+	patch, at Jan's request.
+
+	* unix/tclConfig.sh.in:

+
+1999-03-10  Scott Stanton  <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tcl.decls: Changed Tcl_ReleaseType from an enum to macros so
+	it can be used in .rc files. Added Tcl_GetString.
+
+	* mac/tclMacNotify.c:
+	* generic/tclNotify.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* win/tclWinNotify.c:
+	* generic/tcl.h: Renamed Tcl_AlertNotifier to TclpAlertNotifier.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: Added TclWinAddProcess to make it possible for

+
+	* mac/tclMacPort.h:
+	* win/tclWinInit.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+	* generic/tclAsync.c: Added TclpAsyncMark to fix bug in async handling
+	on Windows where async events don't wake up the event loop. This patch
+	comes from Gordon Chaffee.
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls: Fixed declarations of reserved slots.
+
+1999-03-10  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptic.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: Ensure that the ByteCode struct is binary
+	compatible with the version in 8.0.6.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Add Tcl_GetVersion() function to the public C
+	API to allow programs to check the version number of the Tcl library
+	at runtime. Also added an enum to clarify the release level (alpha,
+	beta, final).
+
+1999-03-09  Scott Stanton  <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+	* Integrated changes from Tcl 8.0 including:
+		stubs mechanism
+		configure patches from Jan Nijtmans
+		rename of panic to Tcl_Panic
+
+1999-03-08  Lee Bernhard  <lfb@scriptics.com>
+

+
+1999-03-08  Scott Stanton  <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Moved Tcl_Mutex, etc. macros above the inclusion of

+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/tclConfig.sh.in:
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: Added Tcl stubs implementation. There are now two
+	new macros USE_TCL_STUBS and USE_TCL_STUB_PROCS that enable use of
+	stubs and disable stub macros respectively. All of the public and
+	private function declarations from tcl.h and tclInt.h have moved into
+	the *.decls files and the *Stubs.c and *Decls.h files are generated
+	using the genStubs.tcl script.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* unix/ldAix: Enhanced AIX shared library support.
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c: Removed a bunch of extraneous PASCAL FAR
+	attributes from internal functions.
+
+	* win/tclWinReg.c: Changed registry package to use stubs mechanism so
+	it no longer depends on the specific version of Tcl.
+
+	* doc/AddErrInfo.3:
+	* doc/Eval.3:
+	* doc/PkgRequire.3:
+	* doc/SetResult.3:

+	they can be invoked from the stub functions.
+
+	* doc/package.n:
+	* doc/PkgRequire.3:
+	* generic/tclPkg.c: Added Tcl_PkgProvideEx, Tcl_RequireEx,
+	Tcl_PresentEx, and Tcl_PkgPresent. Added "package present" command.
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c:
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c:
+	* mac/tclMacShLib.exp:
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: Changed so TclGetUserHome is defined on all
+	platforms, even though it is currently a noop on mac and windows, and
+	renamed it to TclpGetUserHome.
+
+	* generic/tclPanic.c:
+	* generic/panic.c: Renamed panic to Tcl_Panic.
+
+1999-02-25  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: Added tclWinConsole.c and tclWinSerial.c
+
+	* win/tclWinConsole.c: New code to properly deal with fileevents and
+	nonblocking mode on consoles.
+
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c: New code to properly deal with fileevents and
+	nonblocking mode on serial ports.
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: Exported functions to allow creation of pipe
+	channels from tclWinChan.c
+
+	* win/tclWinChan.c: Check the type of a channel, including for the
+	standard (stdin/stdout/stderr), and use the correct channel type to
+	create the channel (file, serial, console, or pipe).
+
+1999-02-11  Scott Stanton  <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+	* README:
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* win/README.binary:

+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* mac/README: Updated version numbers to 8.1b2.
+
+1999-02-10  Scott Stanton  <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+	* library/auto.tcl: Fixed auto_mkindex so it handles .tbc files. Did
+	some general cleanup to handle bad eval statements that didn't use
+	"list".
+
+	* unix/mkLinks:
+	* doc/SetVar.3:
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Restored Tcl_ObjGetVar2 and Tcl_ObjSetVar2 from
+	8.0. Renamed Tcl_Get/SetObjVar2 to Tcl_GetVar2Ex and Tcl_SetVar2Ex.
+
+1999-02-10  Scott Stanton  <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+	INTEGRATED PATCHES FROM 8.0.5b2:
+
+	* 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
+	during asynchronous socket connection operations. This adds a new
+	"-error" fconfgure option to socket channels. [Bug 893]
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c:
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Applied patch from Viktor Dukhovni to rationalize
+	TCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG behavior when creating variables.
+
+	* 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
+	is set to "" when no registry entry is found. [Bug 978]
+
+1999-02-01  Scott Stanton  <stanton@GASPODE>

+	* generic/tclParse.c:
+	* generic/tclProc.c:
+	* generic/tclTest.c:
+	* generic/tclTimer.c:
+	* generic/tcl.h: Made eval interfaces compatible with 8.0 by renaming
+	Tcl_EvalObj to Tcl_EvalObjEx, renaming Tcl_Eval2 to Tcl_EvalEx and
+	restoring Tcl_EvalObj and Tcl_GlobalEvalObj interfaces so they match
+	Tcl 8.0.
+
+1999-01-28  Scott Stanton  <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+	* Merged Tcl 8.0.5b1 changes.
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_DStringSetLength): Changed so the buffer
+	overallocates in a manner similar to Tcl_DStringAppend. This should
+	improve performance for TclUniCharToUtfDString.
+
+1998-12-11    === Tcl 8.1b1 Release ===
+
+1998-12-10  Scott Stanton  <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+	* Fixed lots of files that used TCL_THREAD instead of TCL_THREADS.
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (Tcl_FreeEncoding): Moved most of the code
+	into a static FreeEncoding routine that does not grab the
+	encodingMutex to avoid deadlocks/races when called from other routines
+	that already have the mutex.
+
+1998-12-09  Scott Stanton  <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+	* library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: Fixed bad export list, fixed so all
+	locale strings are converted to lower case, including file names.
+
+	* generic/regcomp.c (makescan): Fixed bug in longest match case that
+	caused anchored patterns to fail. [Bug 897]
+
+1998-12-08  Scott Stanton  <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+	* library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: changed mc to invoke mcunknown in the
+	calling context, changed locale lookups to be case insensitive
+
+1998-12-07  Scott Stanton  <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+	* generic/tclAlloc.c (TclpRealloc): Fixed a memory allocation bug
+	where big blocks that were reallocated into a different heap location
+	were not being placed into the bigBlocks list. [Bug 933]
+
+	* tests/msgcat.test: Added message catalog test suite.
+
+	* library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: minor bug fixes, integrated latest
+	changes from Mark Harrison.
+
+1998-12-04  Scott Stanton  <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+	* library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: Changed code to conform to Tcl coding
+	standards. Changed to use file join for portability.
+
+	* library/msgcat1.0: Added initial implementaion of Tcl message
+	catalog package contributed by Mark Harrison.
+
+1998-12-03  Scott Stanton  <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+	* 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>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateCommandChannel): Changed reader/writer
+	threads to have THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST so they will have a chance to
+	run whenever there is something to do.
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (WriteBytes, WriteChars): Fixed so extraneous
+	flushes do not happen in line mode.
+	(TranslateOutputEOL): Made translation more efficient in line mode and
+	fixed a buffer overflow bug in CRLF translation. [Bug 887]
+
+1998-12-02  Brent Welch  <welch@SAGE>
+
+	* Updated patchlevel to 8.1b1
+
+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.
+
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (TclpGetDefaultStdChannel): added check for a
+	failure during Tcl_MakeFileChannel.
+
+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.
+
+1998-10-21  Scott Stanton  <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+	* added "encoding" command
+
+	* Moved internal regexp declarations from tclInt.h to tclRegexp.h
+
+	* 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

+
+	* 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

+	* 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

+	124558]
+
+2000-12-07  Jeff Hobbs  <jhobbs@interwoven.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: added note about need to updated

+
+	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl: updated to use 84 version to reflect the

+
+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

+2000-11-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

+2000-11-21  Andreas Kupries  <a.kupries@westend.com>
+
+	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]

+
+	* 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.

+	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

+	"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
+	incompatability 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:

+	* 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

+	** 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.

+	******************************************************
+
+2000-09-20  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+	* 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()
+	should be in UTF-8 or risk implied conversion errors when possible
+	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:
+	6212], which corrected an error in the handling of the -index option.
+
+2000-09-14  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* doc/Alloc.3: Added entries for Tcl_AttemptAlloc, Tcl_AttempRealloc.
+
+	* doc/StringObj.3: Added entry for Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength.
+
+	* 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  André Pönitz <poenitz@htwm.de>
+
+	* doc/*.n: added or changed "SEE ALSO:" section
+
+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".
+
+	* README:
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl:
+	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
+	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* unix/tcl.spec:
+	* win/README.binary:
+	* 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.
+	Added efficiency check of object equality.
+
+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>
+
+	* doc/man.macros: Tweaked tab settings for .SO (Standard Options)
+	sections, based on suggestion from Peter Spjuth.
+
+2000-08-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* unix/README: Update to account for removal of --enable-gcc.
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_GCC): Remove --enable-gcc option.
+	* 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.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Support for command traces.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclTraceVariableObjCmd): Patched to support new
+	[trace] syntax:
+	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>
+
+	* win/.cvsignore (added): provides a cleaner build environment with
+	graphical CVS clients.
+
+2000-08-15  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Set debug level in
+	tcltest::restoreState to 2, for consistancy with the debug level in
+	tcltest::saveState [Bug: 4505].
+
+2000-08-14  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Added tclPlatDecls.h to the list of installed
+	headers, for more complete stubs support. [Bug: 5241].
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Added #include "tclPlatDecls.h" to get
+	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
+	of http://dev.scriptics.com/support/...).
+
+2000-08-11  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* generic/tclEnv.c (TclUnsetEnv): Changed declaration of length
+	variable from "unsigned int" to "int", to match usage when passed to
+	TclpFindVariable [Bug: 6126].
+
+2000-08-10  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* library/msgcat1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: Bumped version number to 1.2 [Bug:
+	6100].
+
+	* library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: Removed erroneous [package forget] in
+	msgcat namespace initializer. Bumped version number to 1.2 [Bug: 6100]
+
+2000-08-10  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c: r1.15 accidentally changed a global mutex name
+	tclObjMutex to ObjMutex.  Put the correct name back.
+
+2000-08-07  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* tests/indexObj.test: Added tests using the [testwrongnumargs]
+	command to test Tcl_WrongNumArgs.
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c (TestWrongNumArgsObjCmd): Added test function for
+	the Tcl_WrongNumArgs function.
+
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs): Corrected algorithm to not
+	insert a space before the message component when objc == 0 [Bug: 6078]
+
+2000-07-27  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* win/configure.in: TCL_STUB_LIB_FLAG should not include ${TCL_DBGX}
+	in win/tclConfig.sh, fix that.
+
+2000-07-25  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* doc/Async.3:

+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* generic/tclTest.c:
+	* mac/tclMacPort.h:
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+	* win/tclWinInit.c: Thread-safe rewrite for tclAsync.c. Added notifier
+	alerting on all platforms as it was only working on Win before.
+	Removed older Win hacks that would end-up waking the wrong notifier in
+	the presence of a threaded build. All tests pass as before. New test
+	cases will be added soon for the new behavior. [BUG: 5791]
+
+2000-07-25  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (CallTraces): Added check for VAR_TRACE_ACTIVE on
+	the array containing the variable before executing traces on that
+	array, to conform with normal variable traces and the documentation,
+	which states that while executing a trace, other traces on that
+	variable are disabled. [Bug: 6049].
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Added Tcl_DStringFree call to
+	prevent potential memory leaks [Bug: 6041].
+
+2000-07-24  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* doc/msgcat.n: Added documentation about the selection of the default
+	locale on Windows.

+
+	* 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.

+2000-05-02  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>
+
+	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.
+
+	* tests/thread.test: Added tests for joining of threads.

+	* 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].

+2000-04-24  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_FinalizeNotifier, NotifierThreadProc):
+	added write of 'q' into triggerPipe for notifier in threaded case, so

+
+2000-04-23  Jim Ingham  <jingham@cygnus.com>
+
+	These changes make some error handling marginally better for Mac
+	sockets. It is still somewhat flakey, however.
+
+	* mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpClose): Add timeouts to the close - these don't
+	seem to be honored, however. Use a separate PB for the release, since
+	an async connect socket will still be using the original buffer. Make
+	sure TCPRelease returns noErr before freeing the recvBuff. If the call
+	returns an error, then the buffer is not right.
+	* mac/tclMacSock.c (CreateSocket): Add timeouts to the async create.
+	These don't seem to trigger, however. Sigh...
+	* mac/tclMacSock.c (WaitForSocketEvent): If an TCP_ASYNC_CONNECT
+	socket errors out, then return EWOULDBLOCK & error out.
+	* mac/tclMacSock.c (NotifyRoutine): Added a NotifyRoutine for
+	experimenting with MacTCP.
+
+2000-04-22  Jim Ingham <jingham@cygnus.com>
+
+	* library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown): Fixed a typo in the Mac package
+	search part of tclPkgUnknown.
+
+2000-04-21  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>
+
+	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed a newly introduced bug where if
+	there's a -command callback and something goes wrong, geturl threw an
+	exception, called the callback, and unset the token. I changed it so
+	that it will not call the callback when throwing an exception (so the
+	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.
+
+2000-04-20  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tclAlloc.c: wrapped caddr_t define to not be done on Unix
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: added Tclp*Alloc defines to allow the use of
+	USE_TCLALLOC on Unix. [Bug: 4731]
+
+2000-04-19  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+	* library/dde1.1/pkgIndex.tcl:
+	* library/reg1.0/pkgIndex.tcl:
+	* win/tclWinChan.c:
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: converted CRLF to LF the */tcl.hpj.in files were
+	not converted, as it confuses hcw locally. [Bug: 5096]
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: expanded cleanup target for help files
+
+	* doc/Thread.3: minor macro cleanup
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (SplitUnixPath): added support for QNX node
+	ids.

+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (CreateSocket): force a socket back into blocking
+	mode (default state) after a -async connect succeeds. [Bug: 4388]
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (TclInitSubsystems): Moved tclLibraryPath to
+	thread-local storage to prevent thread-related race condition.
+	[Bug: 5033]
+	* unix/tclAppInit.c (main): removed #ifdef TCL_TEST that sets the
+	library path as it was unnecessary and conflicts with move of
+	tclLibraryPath to thread-local storage.
+
+2000-04-18  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in:
+	* win/tcl.rc:

+
+	* generic/tcl.h, generic/tclThreadTest.c, unix/tclUnixThrd.c,
+	* win/tclWinThread.c, mac/tclMacThread.c: Added Tcl_CreateThreadType

+	proc.
+
+2000-04-14  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+

+	* doc/regexp.n: doc clarification [Bug: 5037]
+	* doc/update.n: typo fix [Bug: 4996]
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): enhanced the detection of
+	pthread_mutex_init [Bug: 4359] and (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS) added
+	--enable-64bit-vis switch for Sparc VIS compilation [Bug: 4995]
+
+2000-04-12  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+	* doc/dde.n: corrected dde poke docs. [Bug: 4991]
+
+2000-04-11  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Added "CONST" keyword to declaration of char
+	*native in TclpCreateTempFile, to supress compiler warnings.
+
+2000-04-10  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Fixed Tcl_CreateThread declaration.
+	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Fixed the "mainThread"
+	initialization to work with either testthread or the thread extension
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Fixed compiler warning when compiling with
+	-DTCL_THREADS
+
+2000-04-10  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): Added conversion of contents
+	string from UTF to native encoding [Bug: 4030].
+
+	* tests/regexp.test: Added tests for infinite looping in [regexp
+	-all].
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Fixed infinite loop bug with [regexp -all]
+	[Bug: 4981].
+
+	* tests/*.test: Changed all occurances of "namespace import
+	::tcltest" to "namespace import -force ::tcltest" [Bug: 3948].
+
+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: ??].
+
+2000-03-04  Brent Welch  <welch@scriptics.com>
+
+	* {win,unix}/Makefile.in: added dependency of tclStubInit.c on
+	tcl.decls and tclInt.decls
+	* generic/tclThread.c: Tweak so this compiles w/out TCL_THREADS
+	* generic/{tcl.decls,tclStubInit.c}:  Just touched the tcl.decls and
+	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
+	Tcl_ConditionFinalize.
+
+	* generic/tclThread.c: Renamed TclFinalizeMutex to Tcl_MutexFinalize.
+	Renamed TclFinalizeCondition to Tcl_ConditionFinalize.
+
+	* generic/tclNotify.c: Changed usage of TclFinalizeMutex to
+	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.
+
+2000-04-03  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoVarsCmd): checked for non-NULL procPtr to
+	prevent itcl info override crash [Bug: 4064]
+
+	* tests/foreach.test:
+	* tests/namespace.test:
+	* tests/var.test: Added lsorts to avoid random sorted return
+	problems. [Bug: 2682]
+
+	* tests/fileName.test: fixed 14.1 test fragility [Bug: 1482]
+
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl: fixed winhelp cross-linking error [Bug: 4156]
+	improved translation to winhelp [Bug: 3679]
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in (MAN_INSTALL_DIR): patch to accept --mandir
+	correctly [Bug: 4085]
+
+	* unix/dltest/pkg[a-e].c: Cleaned up test packages [Bug: 2293]
+
+2000-04-03  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (SetGroupAttribute):
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (SetOwnerAttribute): Added (uid_t) and (gid_t)
+	casts to avoid compiler warnings.
+
+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/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): Added comments
+	noting the need to pair ckalloc with ckfree. [Bug: 4262]
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: removed TclWinSynchSpawn (vestige of Win32s
+	support).
+
+	* win/tclWinReg.c: made use of TclWinGetPlatformId instead of getting
+	info again
+
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:
+	* win/Makefile.in:
+	* win/configure.in:
+	* 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

+
+	* 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).
+
+	* tests/pkg/spacename.tcl:
+	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Tests for fix for bug #2360.

+	* tests/autoMkindex.test: Test for fix for bug #2611.
+
+	* library/auto.tcl: Fixed the regular expression that performs $
+	escaping before sourcing a file to index. It was erroneously adding \
+	escapes even to $'s that were already escaped, effectively
+	"un-escaping" those $'s. (bug #2611).
+
+2000-01-27  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/autoMkindex.test:

+
+2000-01-27  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@scriptics.com>
+
+	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Changed NormalizePath to
+	normalizePath and exported it as a public proc. This proc creates an

+	modify. The path is modified in place.
+	* library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: Added normalizePath.
+	* tests/all.tcl: Changed code to use normalizePath.
+
+2000-01-27  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/pkg/samename.tcl: test file for bug #1983
+
+	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test:
+	* doc/pkgMkIndex.n:
+	* library/package.tcl: Per rfe #4097, optimized creation of direct
+	load packages to bypass computing the list of commands added by the
+	new package. Also made direct loading the default, and added a -lazy
+	option.
+	Fixed bug #1983, dealing with pkg_mkIndex incorrectly handling
+	situations with two procs by the same name but in different namespaces
+	(ie, foo::baz and bar::baz).

+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: modified EXTRA_CFLAGS to add -DHAVE_TZSET for OSF1-V*

+	for OSF1-V* when building with threads. [Bug: 4063]
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): inlined resultPtr, as it
+	conflicted with var creation for HAVE_TZSET #def [Bug: 4063]

+	systems (UTS) require sys/types.h to be included first [Bug: 4031]
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (CreateSocketAddress): changed comparison with -1
+	to 0xFFFFFFFF, to ensure 32 bit comparison even on 64 bit systems.

+	Mac. (Darley)
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:

+	refers to an element in an array (ie, "variable foo(x)") to always
+	return an error, regardless of existance of that element in the array
+	(now behavior is consistant with docs too) (bug #981).
+
+2000-01-20  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoBodyCmd): made [info body] return a string
+	if the body has been bytecompiled.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalObjEx): added pedantic check for
+	originating proc body of bytecompiled code, #def'd out as the change

+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): added cast for tsdPtr
+
+	* tests/set.test: added test for complex array elem name compiling

+	protection in Tcl_UnsetVar2.
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Added protection in Tcl_UnsetVar2 against attempts

+	happen if there was an unset trace on an array element and the trace
+	proc made a global or upvar link to the array, and then the array was
+	unset at the global level. See the bug reference for more information.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c: New clock format format.
+
+	* compat/strftime.c: New clock format format.
+
+	* generic/tclGetDate.y: New clock scan format.

+	that occur between Z and a in ASCII.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: Modified DictionaryCompare function (used by
+	lsort -dictionary) to do upper/lower case equivalency before doing
+	character comparisons, instead of after. This fixes bug #1357, in
+	which lsort -dictionary [list ` AA c CC] and lsort -dictionary [list
+	AA c ` CC] gave different (and both wrong) results.

+	crashing when shutdown from a non-Tcl thread. Fixes [Bug 217982]
+	[orig. 5804] reported by Hugh Vu and Gene Leache. I'm not convinced
+	that the shutdown process is right even with this, but it was
+	definitely wrong without...

+
+	Up-port to 8.4 of mac code changes for 8.3.3 & various new changes for
+	8.4, some already backported to 8.3.4. [Patch 435658]
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c: added #include to fix missing prototype errors
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: MAC_TCL: addition of ConditionalMacros.h and use of
+	DLLIMPORT and DLLEXPORT like on other platforms. ( => no longer need
+	the .exp files and can remove use of #pragma export that never worked
+	well)
+	removed line continuation in #if clause as this breaks the mac
+	resource compiler (note that *.r files include tcl.h)
+
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c: fixed bug in permission checking code
+
+	* mac/tclMacLoad.c: corrected utf8 handling, comparison of package
+	names to code fragment names changed to only match on the length of
+	package name, this allows for fragment names with version numbers
+	appended.
+
+	* mac/tclMacInt.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* mac/tclMacTime.c:
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: moved declaration of TclpGetGMTOffset()
+
+	* mac/tclMacShLib.exp:

+
+	* mac/MW_TclAppleScriptHeader.pch:
+	* mac/MW_TclHeader.pch:
+	* mac/MW_TclTestHeader.pch:
+	* mac/tclMacCommonPch.h: revised precompiled header handling: now
+	include a common header file 'MW_TclHeaderCommon.h' from all .pch
+	files, the .pch files themselves now only setup #defines (e.g.
+	BUILD_tcl, STATIC_BUILD, TCL_DEBUG, TCL_THREADS) like in makefiles on
+	other platforms.
+
+	* mac/tclMac.h:
+	* mac/tclMacPort.h:
+	* mac/tclMacInt.h: use of BUILD_tcl and TCL_STORAGE_CLASS like on other
+	platforms, standardize #include'd files to what's done on other
+	platforms, removed use of #pragma export.
+
+	* mac/tcltkMacBuildSupport.sea.hqx: new archive of mac build support
+	files & suggested build environment directory hierarchy:
+	'Building MacTclTk' & 'CW Pro6 changes' readme's.
+	projects for MoreFiles 1.5.2 static & shared libraries.
+	project & sources for 'pseudoCarbonSupport', see below.
+	included XML versions of the projects for CW Pro5 or Pro7 users.
+
+	* mac/tclMacProjects.sea.hqx: updated mac build project files:
+	build support for CodeWarrior Pro6, UnivIntf 3.4 & shared runtime
+	libraries: the MSL libraries and MoreFiles are no longer compiled into
+	Tcl.shlb, all non-static binaries now use the Pro6 shared runtime
+	libraries and MoreFiles.shlb.  These shlbs are merged into the standard
+	Wish and TclShell, but 3rd party applications linking with Tcl.shlb or
+	Tk.shlb need to setup access to them.  (see the "(sh-ppc)" targets
+	for how to do this.)
+	included XML versions of the projects for CW Pro5 or Pro7 users.
+	use compat/strtod.c instead of MSL's strtod()
+	use WASTE versions of MSL for tcl test target to avoid text buffer
+	cutoff at 32k.
+	Merging the full MSL.shlb and the other shlbs into Wish & TclShell
+	makes them a bit larger than before, use unmerged binaries to avoid
+	copying the shared code with every application, e.g. when deploying
+	numerous Wish based droplets.
+	Note that using CW Pro5 to compile extensions is in principle still
+	possible, but need to link with Pro6 runtime libraries.
+	Tclapplescript now loads and runs on CFM68k.
+	Highly experimental "pseudoCarbon" support for Tcl only on OS 8/9:
+	binaries in "Build:(Carbon):" link against CarbonLib instead of
+	InterfaceLib, however the actual code has not been carbonized! i.e. it
+	will not run on OSX and may not even run properly with CarbonLib.
+	This should in principle allow you to build & test OS9 CFM Carbon
+	binaries that need to link with Tcl.shlb. On OSX you can use the
+	native Tcl.framework, but you have to build a MachO binary as there
+	is no CFM glue lib for Tcl.framework.
+	the library pseudoCarbonSupport.shlb manually loads the symbols from
+	InterfaceLib that are not in CarbonLib but are needed by the
+	uncarbonized code in Tcl.shlb and TclShell.
+
+	* generic/tclMain.c: MAC_TCL: workaround for broken/non-standard isatty
+	on MW Pro6, #include <unistd.h> instead of defining isatty
+
+	* mac/tclMacPort.h: MW Pro6 changes for MSL fcntl.h, stat.h & isatty
+
+	* mac/tclMacAppInit.c: add EXTERN to InstallConsole to enable DLL
+	export via the TCL_STORAGE_CLASS mechanism.
+
+	* mac/tclMacFCmd.c: fix for FSpDirectoryCopy API change
+
+	* mac/tclMacLibrary.c: emit compile time error when
+	TCL_REGISTER_LIBRARY and USE_TCL_STUBS are both defined at the same
+	time in an extension, this use is not currently supported and will
+	result in a crash when dynamically loading the extension.
+
+	* mac/tclMacApplication.r:
+	* mac/tclMacLibrary.r:
+	* mac/tclMacOSA.r:
+	* mac/tclMacResource.r: fixed obsolete copyrights/dates in version
+	strings; updated version strings to standard usage; added support for
+	'(Support Libraries)' subfolder for shared runtime libraries in
+	unmerged binaries; commented out demo setting of "Tcl Environment
+	Variables"; reorganized resources among these files to avoid multiple
+	copies in applications and shared libraries, the script libraries are
+	now no longer duplicated in Tclsh but are only included in the
+	resources of Tcl.shlb.
+
+	* mac/tclMacChan.c:
+	* mac/tclMacSock.c: cast for *BlockMode
+
+	* mac/tclMacUtil.c:
+	* mac/tclMacMath.h: removed obsolete hypot() definition
+

+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* mac/tclMacNotify.c:
+	* mac/tclMacOSA.c:
+	* mac/tclMacUtil.c:
+	* generic/tclThreadTest.c: renamed routines conflicting with standard
+	Apple or MoreFiles headers (at compile or link time):
+	GetGlobalMouse         -> GetGlobalMouseTcl
+	FSpGetDirectoryID      -> FSpGetDirectoryIDTcl
+	FSpOpenResFileCompat   -> FSpOpenResFileCompatTcl
+	FSpCreateResFileCompat -> FSpCreateResFileCompatTcl
+	NewThread              -> NewTestThread
+	the renamed MoreFiles *Tcl routines are just wrappers calling into the
+	MoreFiles DLL.
+
+	* mac/tclMacCommonPch.h:
+	* mac/tclMacThrd.c:
+	* mac/tclMacPanic.c: removed OLDROUTINENAMES define, renamed obsolete
+	apple API names to modern equivalents; UH3.4 support: added #include
+	<ControlDefinitions.h>, updated New*Proc() calls to New*UPP().
+
+	* mac/tclMacUnix.c: added missing (Tcl_Obj ***) cast to
+	Tcl_ListObjGetElements call
+
+	* mac/tclMacAlloc.c: modernized TclpSysAlloc() to use temporary memory
+	instead of system heap memory when available (MacOS >= 7.5 and
+	possibly earlier, use of system heap has been discouraged for a long
+	time and has many disadvantages, e.g. memory isn't paged out, and
+	errors can very easily bring the system down); fixed crashing bug in
+	TclpSysRealloc() and CleanUpExitProc() where memory was being accessed
+	after having been deallocated; fixed memory leak in (de)allocation
+	code (for every block ever allocated with TclpSysAlloc, a Ptr was
+	leaked), if temporary memory is available, don't track allocated
+	memory, instead use RecoverHandle() to get Handle from Ptr, otherwise
+	use doubly linked list to correctly track memory and free all
+	allocated memory; added new option for ConfigureMemory:
+	MEMORY_DONT_USE_TEMPMEM, disables use of temporary memory even when it
+	would be available, only necessary when writing e.g. a driver (using
+	tcl??); increased fraction of application heap reserved for OS
+	routines to 512K
+
+	* compat/strftime.c:
+	* mac/tclMacTime.c:
+	* mac/tclMacPort.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: timezone support for mac via TclpGetTZName()
+	like on windows, using an inverse timezone table adapted from
+	tclDate.c to map gmtoffset in seconds gotten from the MacOS APIs to a
+	timezone string, as there is no good way to get this info from MacOS.
+	I had to make up some unusual timezones and arbitrarily decide on the
+	most standard of the multiple choices available for every timezone.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: workaround for a MSL bug/misfeature: for very
+	small floats, MSL can return errno ERANGE but a non-zero value (<
+	LDBL_MIN however)
+
+	* mac/tclMacAppInit.c: support for WASTE text library using temporary
+	memory, setting has no effect if WASTE is not used.
+
+	* mac/tclMacPanic.c: removed duplicate code from generic/tclPanic.c
+	and added that file to projects instead.
+
+	* tests/all.tcl: set tcltest::singleProcess 1 as multiple processes
+	are not available on the mac.
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: access time not available on the mac, skip the
+	atime touch test
+
+	* tests/appendComp.test:

+
+2001-11-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+	between NT/2000 and the older operating systems. Added test to ensure
+	normalization is correct.
+
+2001-11-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclParse.c: Code reorganisation. Moved all evaluation
+	functions from tclParse.c to tclBasic.c, so that now tclParse.c deals
+	exclusively with parsing and all evaluations are done by code in
+	tclBasic.c. The functions moved are: TclEvalObjvInternal,
+	Tcl_EvalObjv, Tcl_LogCommandInfo, Tcl_EvalTokensStandard,
+	Tcl_EvalTokens, Tcl_EvalEx, Tcl_Eval, Tcl_EvalObj and
+	Tcl_GlobalEvalObj.
+
+2001-11-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/trace.test (trace-8.8): Added adapted version of [Bug 219393]
+	as new test; the test won't reliably show up the old problem unless it
+	is being run under something like Purify, but something is better than
+	nothing...
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_TraceVar2, Tcl_UntraceVar2): Added missing
+	mask bits for trace result type and a check for a nonsense flag
+	combination.
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceVarProc): Added missing test for NULL when
+	deleting a trace that doesn't cause an error.
+
+	* doc/TraceVar.3: Added documentation for change due to TIP#68.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceVarInfo): Removed problematic errMsg field
+	from structure.
+	(TraceVarProc): Removed references to errMsg field and changed
+	handling of errors so that they returned a Tcl_Obj* containing the
+	error string. This minimizes the number of calls to the memory
+	management subsystem.
+	(TclTraceCommandObjCmd, TraceCommandProc): Removed references to
+	errMsg field which was never used in command traces in any case.
+	(Tcl_TraceObjCmd, TclTraceVariableObjCmd): Removed references to
+	errMsg field and made variable traces register with
+	TCL_TRACE_RESULT_OBJECT bit set.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h (TCL_TRACE_RESULT_DYNAMIC,TCL_TRACE_RESULT_OBJECT):
+	New constants to define how to handle the strings returned from trace
+	callbacks [TIP#68]
+	* generic/tclVar.c (CallTraces, Tcl_GetVar2Ex, TclGetIndexedScalar,
+	(TclGetElementOfIndexedArray, Tcl_SetVar2Ex, TclSetIndexedScalar,
+	(TclSetElementOfIndexedArray, Tcl_UnsetVar2, Tcl_ArrayObjCmd,
+	(TclDeleteVars, TclDeleteCompiledLocalVars, DeleteArray,
+	(TclVarTraceExists): Support for those new trace flags.

+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: added HAVE_LANGINFO code block.
+	* unix/configure: regened
+	* unix/configure.in: added SC_ENABLE_LANGINFO call
+	* unix/tcl.m4: made SHLIB_LD_LIBS='${LIBS}' for FreeBSD* (meyer)
+	Added modified version of Wagner patch to make use of nl_langinfo
+	where possible to determine Unix platform encoding, instead of the
+	inflexible built-in system. This is used by default when possible, and
+	can be disabled with --enable-langinfo=no. [Patch 418645] (hobbs,

+	* generic/tclCompile.h:

+2001-11-09  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/tcl.dsp:  winhelp target fixes for non-NT systems. It seems
+	NMAKE under these remembers changed directories during commands. A new
+	tcltest feature from Peter Spjuth <peter.spjuth@space.se> to specify a
+	pattern file from the commandline and redirecting output to a file
+	when not under NT with it's scrollback console. Then it replays it,

+
+	Sticky-points left:  'profile' option.

+
+2001-11-08  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Avoid adding libc to the LIBS variable
+	since it is not needed when linking with CC. If required when linking
+	with LD it should be done on a case by case basis in tcl.m4.
+
+2001-11-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/rules.vc:
+	* win/makefile.vc:  Fixed install target to adjust for the different

+
+2001-11-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:

+	We can't regenerate automatically since there may be no tclsh on the

+2001-11-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC in tclConfig.sh. It should be included by

+
+	* win/rules.vc:
+	* win/makefile.vc: Dropped the NOMSVCRT macro and put it on the option
+	list instead. It makes more sense to me this way as NOMSVCRT=0 would
+	only be the valid setting. Fixed the dde and reg extension for
+	building static. Improved, but not perfected, the winhelp target.
+
+2001-11-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/README: Change minimum VC++ version to 5.X since 4.X is known

+
+2001-11-06  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Fixed [Bug 478856] reported by Stuart
+	Cassoff <stwo@users.sourceforge.net>. The bug caused loss of
+	fileevents when [read]ing less data from the channel than buffered.
+	Due to an empty input buffer the flag CHANNEL_NEED_MORE_DATA was set
+	but never reset, causing the I/O system to wait for more data instead
+	of using a timer to synthesize fileevents and to flush the pending
+	data out of the buffers.
+
+2001-11-06  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/rules.vc (new):
+	* win/makefile.vc:  Complete over/under rewrite to support numerous
+	build options all from the commandline itself without needing to edit
+	the makefile. Now requires vcvars32.bat to be run prior to running
+	nmake for bootstraping the environment. Fully doc'd usage for it is in
+	makefile.vc. Commentary welcome. Sticky points left are:
+
+	1) winhelp target shows errors in the converting script.
+	2) .rc scripts aren't getting the right #defines to build the correct
+	   "OriginalFilename" strings. (have patch, won't commit yet)
+	3) Naming convention with suffixes describing the buildtype are 'tsdx'
+	   which will need public acceptance. ie. tclsh84tsx.exe is a (t)
+	   threaded shell (s) statically linked to the core and (x) uses
+	   msvcrt instead of libcmt.

+	* tools/encoding/macTurkish.txt:
+	Updated encodings with latest mappings from www.unicode.org. This did
+	not include some Mac encodings that have special multi-unichar
+	translations now (like symbols, dingbats and japanese). Also does not
+	include big5, gb or euc* as those have different formats in the latest
+	Unicode version that need new conversion tools. Not all related .enc
+	files changed as some had been updates separately.
+
+2001-10-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_FinalizeThread): moved freeing of

+	modification to change on 2001-09-24.
+
+2001-10-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/configure: regen'ed
+	* win/tcl.m4:
+	* win/makefile.vc: added Win64 SDK RC1 compilation support
+	* win/Makefile.in: added $(LDFLAGS_CONSOLE) to TCLSH, TCLTEST and

+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c: minor 64bit casts
+
+2001-10-01  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c: removed unnecessary inclusion of
+	tclCompile.h and made a small modification in (InfoBodyCmd) to improve
+	the isolation of the compiler/engine subsystem.
+
+2001-09-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:

+
+2001-09-28  Kevin Kenny   <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2001-09-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: fix to performance issue reported by jcw in
+	which 'access("")' is called unnecessarily when normalizing any
+	absolute path.
+	* generic/tclIO.c: added '(ClientData)' cast to calls to
+	Tcl_(Preserve|Release) newly introduced, fixing compile error on
+	Windows.

+
+	* doc/fileevent.n: Accepted [Patch 465279] adding an example to the
+	fileevent manpage. Minor modifications to get a better formatting.
+	Report and patch by David N. Welton <davidw@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+	* The changes below fix [Bug 462317] where Expect tried to read more
+	than was in the buffers and then blocked in the OS call as its pty
+	channel driver provides no blockmodeproc through which the OS could be
+	notified of blocking-behaviour. Because of this the general I/O core
+	has to take more care than usual to preserve the semantics of
+	non-blocking channels.
+
+	The problem was reported by "Kevin O'Gorman" <kevin@kosmanor.com>.
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ReadRaw): Do not read from the driver if the
+	channel is non-blocking and the fileevent causing the read was
+	generated by a timer. We do not know if there is data available from
+	the OS. Instead of going to the OS for more and potentially blocking
+	we simply signal EWOULDBLOCK to the higher levels to cause the system
+	to wait for true fileevents.
+	(GetInput): Same as before.
+	(ChannelTimerProc): Added set and clear of CHANNEL_TIMER_FEV.
+
+	* generic/tclIO.h (CHANNEL_TIMER_FEV): New flag for channels. Is set
+	if a fileevent was generated by a timer, the channel is not blocking
+	and the driver did not provide a blockmodeproc. In that case the I/O
+	core has to be especially careful about going to the driver for more
+	data.

+
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: changed winsock.h include to winsock2.h. Reverses
+	change from 2000-11-16, but is necessary for WIN64. Extensions should

+
+2001-09-20  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

+
+	* doc/socket.n: Added documentation to mention what happens when a
+	server socket is created with port=0. Removed an old change bar, and
+	no new change bar because Tcl has always behaved this way as it is
+	really a poorly-documented standards-defined OS feature.
+
+	* tests/util.test (util-8.1): Test derived from code to detect the
+	problem, but the test always works in the C locale, so beware if you
+	are maintaining the code.
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclNeedSpace): Rewrote to be UTF-8 aware. [Bug
+	411825, but not that patch which would have added extra spaces if
+	there was a real non-ASCII space involved.]
+
+2001-09-18 Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2001-09-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: removed forced #define USE_TCLALLOC 1 for Windows.
+	This means the native system allocator will be used by default. This
+	should be binary and source compatible with extensions, as Tcl_Alloc
+	is a properly stubbed function.
+
+2001-09-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2001-09-13  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test: Changed the computation of the result for
+	iocmd-8.1[123] so that the tests work for single- and multi-process
+	execution of the testsuite. Depending on the choice of the user stdout
+	is a tty or not and thus reports different channel options. Fixes

+	* tests/parse.test: Deprecate the use of Tcl_EvalTokens, replaced by
+	the new Tcl_EvalTokensStandard. The new function performs the same
+	duties but adheres to the standard return convention for Tcl
+	evaluations; the deprecated function could only return TCL_OK or
+	TCL_ERROR, which caused [Bug 219384] and [Bug 455151]. This patch
+	implements [TIP 56].
+
+2001-09-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4: Invert the logic that checks for $GCC. Instead of
+	checking for "$GCC" = "no" we check for "$GCC" != "yes" or simply swap
+	the true and false blocks of code in an if statement. That way if GCC
+	is set to "" everything will still work. [Bug 460991]

+
+	* The changes below are a fix for [Bug 219253].
+
+	* tests/socket.test: Removed _most_ instances of hardwired port

+	with constraint 'doTestsWithRemoteServer'. These seem to be designed
+	for a more controlled environment and are usually skipped when running

+
+	* unix/mkLinks (Tcl_FSLink): Updated to reflect 2001-08-23 file system

+
+2001-09-10  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: Also added 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels' to the
+	  internal platform specific stub table.
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjStat): Now added the call to
+	'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels' to this function. I don't know where my
+	head was last thursday (2001-09-06), but the call was actually added
+	to 'TclpObjChdir', i.e. the implementation of [cd]. Corrected this

+
+2001-09-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	* All the changes below serve to fix bug [219148] which reports a 80x
+	performance hit for file I/O on Win* systems. On my system it was
+	closer to a 120x hit. Problem report by Uwe Traum <no email address
+	available>.
+
+	The fix goes like this: The obstacle is 'FlushFileBuffers', executed
+	whenever Tcl writes data to the OS, as Tcl has to wait for the disk to
+	complete I/O, and disks are slow. We remove that obstacle. This opens
+	another problem, [file size] reports back wrong numbers. So for [file
+	size] we add the call back in. As optimization we keep track of the
+	channels which were written to and flush only these.
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjStat): Added a call to
+	'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels'. This ensures that [file size] and related
+	commands report the correct size of a file even if Tcl has recently
+	written to it. Unixoid OS's always report the correct size even for
+	files with pending data, but Win* syssystem don't. They only report
+	what is actually on disk.
+
+	* win/tclWinInt.h: Added declaration of 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels',
+	making it available to other parts of the tcl core.
+
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (TclWinFlushDirtyChannels): New, internal,
+	procedure. Goes through the list of open file channels and forces the
+	OS to flush its file buffers for all which were written to since the
+	last call of this function. This is an expensive operation as Tcl has
+	to wait for the OS to complete actual writes to the disk.
+
+	(FileInfo): Added dirty flag required by the procedure above.
+
+	(FileOutputProc): Removed flushing of file buffers, setting the dirty
+	flag instead. This means that the previously incurred delays do not
+	happen anymore.
+
+	(TclWinOpenFileChannel): Added initialization of 'dirty' flag.
+
+2001-09-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* doc/http.n: noted -binary, charset and coding state keys.
+	* tests/http.test:
+	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl:
+	* library/http/http.tcl (geturl): correctly get charset parameter
+	and convert text according to specified encoding (if known). RFC
+	iso8859-1 is used by default. Also recognize Content-encoding to see
+	if we should do binary translation. Added a CYA -binary switch for the
+	cases that were missed. [Bugs 219211, 219399]
+
+	* tests/ioUtil.test: changed to make better use of constraints and
+	remove knownBug constraints that weren't valid.
+
+2001-09-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-3.2): Updated test to support newer
+	HP-UX releases that properly report euc-jp as the system encoding for
+	Japanese. Bug report and patch verification by Bob Techentin. [Bug
+	453883]
+
+	* doc/http.n:
+	* library/http/*.tcl:
+	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
+	* tools/tclmin.wse:
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* win/{Mm}akefile.*:  Updated http package to version 2.4, reflecting
+	the new features just added.
+
+2001-09-06 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c: tests of old-fs hooks no longer cause problems in
+	threaded builds. Also removed unused unload proc.
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* generic/tclIOUtilc: added Tcl_FSMountsChanged so that a vfs can
+	inform the filesystem that the filesystem epoch must be changed (since
+	cached filesystems may now be incorrect). Fixes problem running tclvfs
+	extension.
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: if tests aren't in a native filesystem,
+	then don't use pipes to run them. [Bug 458741]
+
+2001-09-06  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls (479 generic):
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek,Tcl_Tell,Tcl_OutputBuffered): Added public
+	function to return the size of the output buffer and reworked other
+	channel functions to use this shared functionality and that of
+	Tcl_InputBuffered() too. [TIP#49, Rolf Schroedter]
+
+2001-09-05  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:  Another small trim finalizing Borland
+	support.
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:  More Borland compatibility fixes. Changed EDQUOT
+	#define from 49 to 69. Borland had a clash as it was already using
+	this number. Upon advice from Helmut Giese, EDQUOT has been found in
+	other header files #defined as 69. [Patch 436116]
+
+	* win/.cvsignore:  A few more glob patterns added.
+
+	* win/makefile.bc (new):  Borland lives once more! rejoice..
+	* generic/tclAlloc.c: Small Borland compatibility fix.
+	* win/tclWinTime.c:  More Borland compatibility fixes. [Patch 436116]
+
+2001-09-05 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/winFCmd.test: made notWin2000 constraint false if not running
+	on Windows at all.
+
+2001-09-04  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c:  Revisited _beginthreadex() stuff. Instead of
+	assuming a c-runtime implimentation of _beginthreadex normal, I
+	reversed the logic to not assume, and use when is by explicitly
+	needing to add runtimes that support it such as Borland.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:  Borland compatibility change so ClientData
+	was properly typed as a void* and TCHAR would not be defined twice.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:  Removed a small mistake from before. Changes to the
+	EXTERN macro for proper Borland compatibility will have to see a TIP.
+	What's this with the MS compiler:
+
+		__declspec(dllexport) int func (int a, int b);
+
+	will have to be this with Borland:
+
+		int __cdecl __export func (int a, int b);
+
+	The order of the attribute needs to be after the return type.
+
+2001-09-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* compat/strtod.c (strtod):  Fixed failure to handle expressions like
+	3eq2 and failure to set errno on overflow. [Bug 440894]
+
+2001-09-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c:
+	* tests/proc.test: made [proc] check that formal args have simple
+	names. [Bug 458548]
+
+2001-09-04 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	Minor bug fixes in filesystem, plus small vfs changes as a result of
+	enabling the test filesystem to work properly.
+	* tests/fileName.test: ensure new test cleans up after itself
+	* doc/filename.n:
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: improved Mac path handling and document why
+	[Bug 421842] on Windows handling of UNC paths is not valid.
+	Documentation and code now much clearer on what is and is not a UNC
+	path.
+	* doc/FileSystem.3:
+	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c:
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c:
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fixed error message, fixed [Bug 453512] about
+	dangerous use of tmpnam, replaced with mkstemp. Documented all the
+	changes.
+	* generic/tclTest.c: made test vfs fully functional as a 'reporting
+	filesystem'.
+	* generic/tcl.stubs:
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* doc/file.n:
+	* various platform-specific 'TclpLoadFile': fixed comments about
+	unload behaviour, and completed objectification of loading. Required
+	change to Tcl_Filesystem lookup table, so incompatible with 8.4a3, but
+	not older versions of Tcl. The change also allows 'link' and
+	'reporting' filesystems to function correctly when loading files.
+	Implementation of 'file delete -force' copes with case where cwd is
+	inside the directory. Moved overlooked Tcl_FSGetPathType from internal
+	to external API. Made sure filesystems which are registered and then
+	unregistered are only freed when all references to them are gone.
+	Documented changes.
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: when deleting directories recursively, make sure
+	permissions are ok. Together with the above, this fixes [Bug 219139]
+	* tests/winFCmd.test: differentiated test results for win2k versus
+	not. This fixes [Bug: 219239]
+	* tests/fCmd.test: added tests for 'file delete -force' where the cwd
+	is inside, and when permissions are inadequate.
+
+2001-09-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: fixed incorrect operands for INST_LIST [Bug
+	458241] (David Cuthbert, dacut@users.sourceforge.net)
+
+2001-09-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): fixed missing comma in
+	debug macro.
+
+2001-09-03  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/ExprLongObj.3: Fixed error in documentation of argument type to
+	Tcl_ExprObj [Bug 457435]
+
+2001-09-02  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c:  Portability fix for Cygwin who's c-runtime,
+	not surprisingly, doesn't have the MSVCRT specific _beginthreadex /
+	_endthreadex pair. This might have to be revisited for proper Borland,
+	lcc32, Watcom and other support as well. [Patch 444255]
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c:  Moved FinalizeConditionEvent() proto to within
+	the main #ifdef TCL_THREADS block to avoid mingw warning about it
+	being there but unused.
+
+	* win/makefile.vc:  Added -Zl (zee el) to tclStubLib.c compile line to
+	make sure the tclstub84.lib static library is built without requiring
+	a specific C-runtime library at link-time for the end-use developer.
+	It has been noted on c.l.t that this trips many first time users
+	trying to make extensions. [Patch 403533]
+
+2001-08-31  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: added TclCompileListCmd header
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: added TclCompileListCmd compile proc
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileListCmd): function to compile the
+	'list' command at parse time.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): definition of INST_LIST
+	bytecode.
+
+	* doc/StringObj.3: added words of warning to use Tcl_ResetResult with
+	the Tcl_Append* functions.
+
+	* tests/compile.test: added compile-11.* interp result checks
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): added Tcl_ResetResult before
+	Tcl_AppendStringsToObj to prevent shared object crash when called from
+	bcc instruction. The Tcl_Append* calls that append to the result
+	object that are invoked by bcc insts must remember to call
+	Tcl_ResetResult because the bcc doesn't do this for us. [Bug 456892]
+
+2001-08-30  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c: fixed some casting problems that upset Crays.
+	[Bug 419528] (andreasen)
+
+2001-08-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Silence warning from Sun compiler. [Bug 454374]
+
+2001-08-30  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: allow cached fully-qualified command names to
+	be usable from different namespaces within the same interpreter
+	without forcing a new lookup. This speeds up scripts that pass command
+	names in variables ("this" in some OO packages). [Patch 456668]
+
+2001-08-30 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	Further fs updates. After examining the most common Tcl extensions
+	(TclX, BLT, Tk, TclPro, Mktclapp), it has been determined that only
+	TclpGetCwd and the Access/Stat/Open insert/delete hooks of the
+	internal fs functions are ever used. The remaining functions from
+	Tcl's internal interfaces have therefore been removed, since Tcl now
+	exports a more suitable public API (Tcl_FS...)
+
+	* generic/tclInt.stubs:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: updated for removed internal functions. Some new
+	internal functions have been put in tclInt.h (and not exported in the
+	stub table because good public equivalents exist).
+	* generic/tclTest.c: some test functions used the internal private
+	APIs. These tests have been retained, but modified to use public APIs.
+	Also objectified the internal filesystem tests.
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: removed TclpStat, TclpAccess and refactored code
+	to use NativeAccess, NativeStat. This should speed up stat, access and
+	glob commands.
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: removed all TclpCopy/Rename/Delete File/Directory
+	string-based procedures which aren't used any more. Improved
+	efficiency of some other procedures. Ensure that filename conversions
+	with a NULL interp do not crash Tcl.
+	* mac/tclMacFCmd.c: wrapped long lines and cleaned up
+	TclpObjNormalizePath, removed all TclpCopy/Rename/Delete
+	File/Directory string-based procedures which aren't used any more.
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c: removed obsolete TclpStat, TclpAccess, TclpChdir,
+	etc.
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: removed use of TclpAccess, removed all
+	TclpCopy/Rename/Delete File/Directory string-based procedures which
+	aren't used any more.
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c: removed obsolete TclpStat, TclpAccess,
+	TclpChdir, etc.
+	* tcl(Unix|Mac|Win)Chan.c: objectified TclpOpenFileChannel.
+	* various 'load' implementations all objectified.
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: removed redundant code.
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed TclStat, TclAccess, TclpListVolumes.
+	Fix to MatchInDirectory at the root of a volume. Also improved some
+	documentation, and improved default path joining behaviour for virtual
+	filesystems, especially regarding '~'.
+	* tests/fileName.test: added tests to check for bugs fixed above.
+	* doc/FileName.3: improved documentation
+
+2001-08-30  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclAsync.c:
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Improper cleanup of asyncMutex in tclAsync.c
+	repaired. TclFinalizeSynchronization() was trying to remove a
+	registered mutex that was dumped earlier when the TSD it was stored in
+	was cleared. This was only surfacing on *nix. Windows was being masked
+	by mutexes not actually being returned to the system! That was
+	repaired in a previous patch. Needed to add a private
+	TclFinalizeAsync() to tclAsync.c and called from Tcl_FinalizeThread().
+	Pheww.. Is this done yet? [Bug 414419] requested by Rob Ratcliff
+	<rrr6399@futuretek.com>
+
+2001-08-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclPushVarName): noted 'static' defn.
+	[Bug 453872]
+
+2001-08-26  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary):
+	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.{1,9}):
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):  Corrected inconsistency
+	between  the search path for script libraries and the directory name
+	$DISTNAME into which distributions built by 'make test' unpack. [Bug
+	455642]
+
+2001-08-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/stringComp.test: added string-1.3
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): changed to return
+	TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE instead of TCL_ERROR when compiling and an
+	unknown string method is called. This is necessary as the string
+	command may be never called, or not until 'string' is redefined.
+
+2001-08-24 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/glob.n: documented windows-style path issue with glob.
+	[Bug 219392]
+	* doc/filename.n: documented windows path/file length limitation.
+	[Bug 454597]
+
+2001-08-24  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.9): Corrected expected result to
+	match Tcl's quirky construction of its init library path.
+
+2001-08-23  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Fixed [Bug 432499]. Part of the
+	code used the non-absolute path to the executable to determine
+	quoting. This failed if the absolute path contained spaces, but the
+	application name itself not. This bug caused no trouble on Win NT 5,
+	but does for other variants in the Win* family. Report and fix due to
+	Ken Poole <kenpoole@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+2001-08-23  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tcl.m4: added QNX-6 build support. [Bug 219410] (loverso)
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: corrected minor compiler warnings.
+
+2001-08-23 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	Variety of small filesystem and vfs issues fixed or improved. The new
+	fs code allows many new opportunities for efficiency improvements
+	through the objectified API. The main changes integrated here are such
+	efficiency improvements. Some limitations of the original
+	implementation have also now been lifted. Meanwhile a variety of fs
+	bugs (some old, some new) have also been fixed.
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: Made Tcl_FSSplitPath more efficient, and
+	removed some static string-based procedures which are no longer used.
+	Much more objectification. Tcl_FSJoinPath is now very efficient and
+	more aware of virtual filesystems. Clarified where the Mac-specific
+	code attempts to interpret Unix-style paths. Modified TclDoGlob to use
+	lstat not access to fix [Bug 434876] (L. Virden)
+
+	* tcl(Win|Unix|Mac)FCmd.c:
+	* tcl(Win|Unix|Mac)File.c: replaced TclpListVolumes with
+	TclpObjListVolumes with different signature, updated code due to more
+	efficient signature of Tcl_FSGetTranslatedPath. Used cached native
+	paths where possible to improve efficiency -- this was completed on
+	MacOS, but on Unix and Win the traversal functions make the task much
+	more complex, so there are still some improvements possible there.
+	Removed unused TclpNormalizePath which had been left in tclWinFCmd.c.
+	Objectified all 'file attributes' functions. Fixed the new [Bug
+	451571, Bruce Stephens] which is most obvious on Unix, but could occur
+	on MacOS or Windows. This bug actually existed in Tcl 8.3.x but was
+	only made obvious by the recent filesystem overhaul when the code was
+	exercised more heavily.
+	* tests/fileName.test: Three new tests to exercise the above bug, and
+	make sure it is fixed correctly.
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c: avoid panic in glob when a link doesn't point
+	anywhere. It would probably be good to define exactly what Tcl should
+	do in circumstances like these, and make sure mac/win/unix all behave
+	accordingly. [Bug 417111] (Hemang Lavana). Also fixed
+	misleading/obsolete comment in the code.
+	* generic/tcl.stubs: changed signature of Tcl_FSGetTranslatedPath and
+	added Tcl_FSGetTranslatedStringPath.
+	These changes allow further optimisations in the FS code.
+	* generic/tcl.h: changed signature of Tcl_FSListVolumes so that it
+	doesn't require a Tcl interpreter plus result. Renamed Tcl_FSReadLink
+	to Tcl_FSLink with additional argument so we can support making links
+	in the future. [Patch: 450340]
+	* generic/tclInt.h: added declaration for TclpObjListVolumes.
+	Objectified internal call signatures for 'file attributes' functions,
+	and added an internal objectified get path type function.
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: added the moved function TclpListVolumes which
+	calls platform specific code (needed for backwards compatibility), and
+	improved efficiency of parts of the FS (particularly file
+	normalization). Much less copying and memory allocation is required
+	now. added new GetPathType so that changes in 'file volumes' can
+	actually affect files' types, and objectified more code. Made current
+	code work with test suite artificially changing current platform.
+	Added 'static' keywords where required.
+	* generic/tclIO.c:
+	* generic/tclTest.c: Added 'static' keywords, fixing [Bug 453872] (Bob
+	Techentin)
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: file command implementation updated for API
+	changes, removed unnecessary special-case SplitPath static function,
+	since it no longer helps prevent code duplication. Moved setting of
+	interpreter result to each individual location that actually required
+	it, to avoid very large code separation between reading and setting
+	the result.
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: updated documentation for the new or changed APIs,
+	and clarified some issues.
+	* doc/SplitPath.3: added pointer to newer APIs in FileSystem.3
+	* doc/filename.n: clarified current implementation of tilde support on
+	Mac/Win.  [Bug 453514] (Sergey Kuzmin)
+	* doc/glob.n: improved documentation for '-directory' and '-path'
+	options.
+
+	There are now many private, obsolete, platform-specific 'Tclp'
+	string-based filesystem APIs which could be removed. We should check
+	whether any of these are used by extensions and, at least in Tcl 9,
+	remove them.
+
+	The above changes signify a ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** with
+	8.4a3, since signatures of two functions in the new API have changed,
+	but not with older versions of Tcl.
+
+2001-08-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclBinary.c (FormatNumber): Extract a long from the object
+	and not an int, to stop [binary format] from being unable to format
+	some input numbers on architectures where sizeof(int) is less than
+	sizeof(long) (particularly Alpha). [tiprender Bug 441861]
+
+	* tests/format.test: Converted conditional execution of tests into a
+	test constraint.
+
+2001-08-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in:
+	* win/makefile.vc: updated install target for dde1.2
+	* doc/dde.n: fixed dde man page (which was totally incorrect).
+	* tests/winDde.test:
+	* win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): added -binary option to dde request
+	command to allow for returning binary data. [Bug 227482]
+	Updated dde to 1.2
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test: added unixExecs constraint to files that used
+	'grep' in the test. [Bug 453143]
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: fixed stdio constraint test. [Patch
+	454050] (stanton)
+	Simplified unixExecs constraint test.
+
+2001-08-22  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/ioUtil.test (ioUtil-3.*): Corrected errors in tests revealed
+	by fix of overagressive compiler. [Bug 451200]
+
+2001-08-21  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+	* tests/compile.test: Fixed overagressive compilation of [catch]: it
+	was catching errors at substitution time. [Bug 219184]
+
+2001-08-21  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test (tcltest-12.2): fixed test that would break when
+	env vars weren't Tcl list friendly [Patch 454046] (stanton)
+
+2001-08-20  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* library/http/http.tcl (geturl): added port number to Host: header to
+	comply with HTTP/1.1 spec (RFC 2068). [Bug 452217]
+
+2001-08-16  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
+	* tools/tcl.hpj.in:
+	* win/tcl.hpj.in:  Removed -kb storage in CVS to ensure these text
+	files are checked-out in the translation mode CVS is in. Setting these
+	as binary as part of an effort to make sure they are always in CRLF,
+	no matter what the CVS translation, is bypassing how CVS works and is
+	confusing.
+
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl:  Removed LF-only output. Having to reconvert
+	back to CRLF before committing to CVS was giving me a headache. [Bug
+	451333]
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: replaced $(WINDIR) with $(include32) for the
+	.rc.res inference rule. winver.h wasn't getting included. [Bug 445630]
+
+2001-08-14  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: make the intial maxNestingDepth of an

+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/configure.in:

+	our own using_gcc variable.
+
+2001-08-11  Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	Variety of small issues introduced by the vfs code fixed:
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: uninitialised read.
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c: possible memory leak in file delete with error
+	condition.
+
+2001-08-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c:

+
+2001-08-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	8.4a3 RELEASE
+
+	* changes:
+	* README:
+	* mac/README:
+	* unix/README:
+	* win/README.binary: updated for 8.4a3 release
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_FSSplitPath): update to Tcl style guide.
+
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c (FileCopyRename): fixed mem leak in introduction
+	of vfs code where a new Tcl_Obj wasn't freed.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd, Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): reordered
+	the retrieval of arguments to avoid shimmering bug when the pattern
+	and string referenced the same object.
+
+	* unix/configure: regenerated
+	* unixE/tcl.m4: added GNU (HURD) configuration target.
+	[Patch 442974] (brinkmann)
+
+	* win/README: made note of URL for Windows compilation notes
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpFinalizeMutex, TclpFinalizeCondition): added
+	DeleteCriticalSection calls for cleanup [Patch 419683]
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): fixed use of tmpnam,
+	which is dangerous. [Patch 442636] (lim)
+	The use of tmpnam in TclpTempFileName must still be changed.
+
+	* tests/http.test (http-4.14): fixed variable error return.
+	[Bug 424252]
+
+2001-08-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/configure: regenerated
+	* win/tcl.m4: fixed DLLSUFFIX definition to always be ${DBGX}.dll.
+	This is necessary for TEA compliant builds that build shared against a
+	static-built Tcl.
+	* win/Makefile.in ($(TCLSH)): added $(TCL_STUB_LIB_FILE) to build
+	target, otherwise it wouldn't get generated in a static build.
+
+2001-08-06  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Applied patch from [Bug 442665]
+	to fix the bug reported by it. The function can corrupt a freed object
+	if it is called with objc == 3. This is because it retrieves resultPtr
+	and does not increment its reference count, but then calls
+	Tcl_ObjSetVar2, which causes the retrieved resultPtr object to be
+	released.
+
+2001-08-06  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tclsh.1: Added note that the tclsh program is frequently
+	installed with the Tcl version numer as part of the name. [Patch
+	402725]
+
+	* generic/tclPkg.c:
+	* tests/pkg.test:  [package forget] now forgets all of the package
+	arguments it receives, not stopping when a package is not found. [Bug
+	415273]
+
+2001-08-02  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory): corrected
+	uninitialized value.
+
+2001-08-02  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: Revert <tchar.h> related changes made to improve
+	Cygwin support on 2001-07-18. This change ended up breaking the VC++
+	build because of conflicts between Windows APIs and internal Tk APIs.
+
+2001-08-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: minor casts to eliminate warnings. (lim)
+	[Patch 440218]
+
+	* tests/parseOld.test: changed some tests that required testwordend to
+	exist to skip in a proper tcltest manner. [Bug 442663]
+
+	* library/http/http.tcl (http::mapReply): the regsub'ing of \n and \t
+	to escape them was unnecessary.

+2001-07-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+

+
+2001-07-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2001-07-18  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h: Define TCHAR by including windows.h instead
+	of tchar.h since Cygwin does not support the tchar.h header. Include
+	CHECK_UNICODE_CALLS logic from tclWinPort.h.
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: Remove CHECK_UNICODE_CALLS logic. Remove include
+	of windows.h since this now done it tclPlatDecls.h.
+	* win/tclWinReg.c: Remove duplicate include of windows.h.
+
+2001-07-18  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c: Aftermath to [Bug 427196]. Squash empty buffers if
+	they are smaller than the requested buffersize, to prevent reusage of
+	old buffers and to honor changes in the requested buffersize made by
+	the user.
+
+2001-07-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpReadlink): Add Cygwin specific definition for
+	the TclpReadlink function. This method implements reading of symbolic
+	links when build with Cygwin.
+
+2001-07-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: Add Cygwin specific defines for environ and
+	timezone variables.
+
+2001-07-17  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (GetInput): Fixed [Bug 427196]. Memory was
+	overwritten because a buffer was used after a change of the requested
+	buffersize together with that requested buffersize and not its actual
+	size, which was smaller. Note that the continous reuse of the smaller
+	buffer negatively impacts performance. The system never allocates a
+	buffer with the newly requested bigger buffersize.
+
+2001-07-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Define __WIN32__ when __CYGWIN__ or __MINGW32__ is
+	defined.
+	* generic/tclAlloc.c: Define caddr_t when compiling with VC++ or
+	mingw. This type is already defined when compiling with Cygwin.
+
+2001-07-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinConsole.c:
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c:
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c:
+	Remove unnecessary #includes of dos.h, direct.h, and tchar.h. This
+	will help the Cygwin porting effort since these headers do not exist
+	under Cygwin.
+
+2001-07-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc): constrained the mutex lock to
+	just the TerminateThread call and waiting for termination. (jsmith)
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Removed extra copy of the SCAN_* macros
+	#defined in generic/tclScan.c. [Bug 441230] (porter)
+
+2001-07-12  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.8): Added extra constraint,
+	notInstalledInTmp, to stop this test from damaging installations in
+	/tmp; not much fun to have to reinstall the Tcl library every time you
+	run the test suite!
+
+	* tests/subst.test (subst-10.*): Updated tests to check new behaviour
+	for 'break' in command substitutions.
+	(subst-1.2,subst-7.1): Error messages changed.
+	* doc/SubstObj.3: New file, to document Tcl_SubstObj.
+	* doc/subst.n: Improved and updated documentation for 'subst' to help
+	support the changed behaviour.
+	* generic/tcl.decls (generic-437): Declaration for Tcl_SubstObj
+	* generic/tcl.h (TCL_SUBST_*): Added flags for Tcl_SubstObj.
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj,Tcl_SubstObjCmd): Divided into two
+	parts to allow people to access the innards of 'subst' and changed the
+	behaviour when command substitutions do a 'break' to be different from
+	'continue'. Also now works with objects, which allows for some nifty
+	optimisations with variable substitutions and a slight improvement
+	with command substitutions. [TIP#36]
+
+2001-07-10  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Add AR variable for use in STLIB_LD.
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/configure.in: Use STLIB_LD when defining MAKE_LIB and
+	MAKE_STUB_LIB. Subst RANLIB and AR.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add doc comment about STLIB_LD
+	command. Check ${AR} env var when setting STLIB_LD and delay
+	evaluation until make time.
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Delay evaluation of ${AR} in STLIB_LD
+	and add flags to better match the Unix implementation. Don't bother
+	defining AR when using VC++ since it is not used.
+
+2001-07-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Pass -e _WinMain@16 in addition to
+	the -mwindows flag to work around a problem with ld when it
+	incorrectly use main() as the executable entry point when both
+	WinMain() and main() are available.
+
+2001-07-06  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: Added leading zero to file modes to work around
+	fault in HPUX strtol() which ignores the base parameter. [Bug 438808]
+
+2001-07-05  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: Subst DEPARG directly instead of relying on a
+	variable. This will make Cygwin builds faster since an extra exec will
+	be avoided.
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Subst DEPARG.
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Move AC_MSG_CHECKING after the
+	AC_CHECK_PROG so that status messages do not get mixed together. Set
+	DEPARG based on the results of the cygpath check so that we avoid
+	using an extra exec when it is not needed. Use ac_cv_cygwin status
+	flag instead of looking at the output of gcc -v, which works in the
+	case where -mno-cygwin is set in the CFLAGS.
+
+2001-07-04  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* README:
+	* mac/README:
+	* unix/README:
+	* win/README:
+	* win/README.binary: updated READMEs with purls
+
+2001-07-03  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: Remove PATHTYPE variable.
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Don't subst PATHTYPE.
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Remove PATHTYPE variable. Set CYGPATH
+	to "cygpath -w" if the cygpath executable is found on the path. This
+	approach works for native Cygwin builds and cross compiles.
+
+2001-07-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/var.test:
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_VariableObjCmd): added patch to check for
+	number of args. [Patch 426038]
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_GetVar2Ex): added ability to recognize
+	TCL_TRACE_READS flags to cause creation of part1 in TclLookupVar to
+	make sure newly created array will get read traces triggered
+	appropriately. This is called by Tcl_ObjGetVar2, Tcl_GetVar, and
+	Tcl_GetVar2.
+	(TclSetIndexedScalar, TclSetElementOfIndexedArray): added read trace
+	triggering for lappend case.
+	(Tcl_LappendObjCmd): pass TCL_TRACE_READS to Tcl_ObjGetVar2 to trigger
+	possible read traces for new arrays.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): added TCL_TRACE_READS
+	flag to INST_LAPPEND(_ARRAY)_STK case to trigger read traces for newly
+	created arrays. Removed unnecessary #ifdef for TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG in
+	INST_LOAD_SCALAR1 case.
+
+	* tests/append.test:
+	* tests/appendComp.test: added tests for read trace triggering for
+	append and lappend.
+
+2001-07-03  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-2.5): Adjust test so that it passes when the
+	time slice is 60 msecs, now passes under Windows 98.
+
+2001-07-03  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Don't pass the v flag to ${AR} when
+	using gcc, verbose output is not needed.
+
+2001-07-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.8):  Changed test back to using
+	installation layout, adding comments explaining why the test writes to
+	the directories it does, and checks to avoid destroying other files in
+	/tmp.
+
+2001-07-03  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-1.2): Fixed faults reported in
+	[Bug 438070] - well, at least enough to work on Solaris - and added
+	comments that should make what is going on in the test clearer.
+
+2001-07-02  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/util.test: added util-4.6
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_ConcatObj): Corrected walking backwards over
+	utf-8 chars. [Bug 227512]
+
+2001-07-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.8):  Corrected test for all absolute
+	pathnames in library path when executable is installed near root
+	directory to use correct development directory layout. [Bug 438014]
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.9):
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):  Corrected buggy
+	construction of search path entries relative to executable. Added test
+	for bad construction. [Bug 438014]
+
+2001-06-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c: Correction to faulty patch from [Bug 231259]
+
+2001-06-28  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-1.2): Modified so as not to require a
+	local echo service, which fails on many systems which have that turned
+	off for security reasons...
+
+2001-06-27  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclObj.c:
+	* unix/Makefile.in: added a -DPURIFY mode that makes Tcl_Obj's
+	allocated and free singularly (instead of in alloc in blocks and never
+	free) to allow checkers like Purify to operate better.
+
+	* library/encoding/koi8-u.enc: added koi8-u (Ukranian variant)
+	encoding.
+
+	* tests/subst.test:
+	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UtfBackslash): Corrected backslash handling of
+	multibyte utf-8 chars. [Bug 217987]
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoProcsCmd): fixed potential mem leak in info
+	procs that created objects without using them.
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): fixed mem leak when
+	string command failed to parse the subcommand.
+
+	* doc/interp.n:
+	* doc/unknown.n: updated notes about what is in a safe interp. [Bug
+	218605]
+
+2001-06-27  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/event.test (event-11.5): Removed hard-coded port number which
+	could fail on some systems. [Bug 436727]
+
+2001-06-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* win/Makefile.in: Add `make shell` target. This target will set the
+	proper env vars before invoking tclsh from the build directory.
+
+2001-06-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: Use : to separate VPATH entries. This works for
+	both Cygwin builds and cross builds, the VPSEP variable is simply
+	unneeded complexity.
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Don't subst VPSEP.
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Remove VPSEP variable.
+
+2001-06-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/configure.in: Fix last checkin by removing export since that

+
+2001-06-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/configure.in: Set CFLAGS to "" if the user did not set CFLAGS
+	in the env. This keeps AC_PROG_CC from adding "-g -O2" to the CFLAGS
+	by default.
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Ditto.
+
+2001-06-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Use RC_DEFINE flag from tcl.m4.
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Set RC_DEFINE flag based on the
+	compiler in use.
+
+2001-06-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Link to the imm32 library when
+	building with mingw gcc.
+
+2001-06-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): When building with gcc, don't attempt
+	to link with LD or support dllwrap. Simply require a recent version of
+	Cygwin gcc or Mingw gcc that supports -shared. When linking, use gcc
+	instead of ld since gcc automatically includes libs like -lmsvcrt.
+
+2001-06-22  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Add resource compiler fix from 8.3.3 to fix
+	compiling with mingw.
+
+2001-06-22  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/tcl.m4: Fix silly typo in last checkin.
+
+2001-06-22  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Set CFLAGS to @CFLAGS@ and @CFLAGS_DEFAULT@. Set
+	LDFLAGS to @LDFLAGS@ and @LDFLAGS_DEFAULT@. Add LDFLAGS_DEBUG and
+	LDFLAGS_OPTIMIZE to match the way CFLAGS_DEFAULT works. This will
+	support user set CFLAGS or LDFLAGS at configure time.
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/configure.in: Don't set CFLAGS to CFLAGS_DEFAULT, instead
+	subst CFLAGS_DEFAULT into the Makefile. Add AC_SUBST for
+	CFLAGS_DEFAULT, LDFLAGS_DEFAULT, LDFLAGS_DEBUG, and LDFLAGS_OPTIMIZE.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS): Modify LDFLAGS_DEFAULT so that it
+	uses a Makefile variable just like CFLAGS_DEFAULT.
+	* win/Makefile.in: Set CFLAGS to @CFLAGS@ and @CFLAGS_DEFAULT@. Set
+	LDFLAGS to @LDFLAGS@ and @LDFLAGS_DEFAULT@. This will support user set

+
+2001-06-22  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* win/configure:
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Don't set LDFLAGS_DEBUG to -g or
+	LDFLAGS_OPTIMIZE to -O when compiling with gcc. These flags are not
+	needed and can cause problems with the Cygwin version of ld.
+
+2001-06-18  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-1.2,unixInit-2.8): Added test for code
+	described below, and fixed a couple of errors that caused problems
+	during testing; the code to determine the installedTcl constraint was
+	wrong, and test unixInit-2.8 assumed that /tmp/lib was free for use
+	and could be deleted, which clashed nastily with my installation and

+2001-03-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/set-old.test (set-old-7.2): Changed error behaviour of

+
+2001-03-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/package.tcl (pkg_mkIndex):  Added patch from Vince Darley to

+
+2001-03-13  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/info.n: Improved documentation for [info hostname]. [Bug 403840]
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UnsetObjCmd): Made command behave as

+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): A missing {return TCL_OK;}
+	was causing memory corruption. [Bug 408002]
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclDeleteExecEnv, GrowEvaluationStack,
+	(TclExecuteByteCode): Added some casts to ClientData that are
+	apparently needed on some architectures.
+
+2001-03-12  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/string.test: Fixed some test numberings and added a test.
+	[Patch 403229]
+
+2001-03-06  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UnsetObjCmd): Rewrote argument parser to avoid
+	a read off the end of the argument array that could occur when
+	executing something like [unset -nocomplain] was executed. Improved
+	the error message given when too few arguments are given (-nocomplain
+	should obviously be *before* --, not after it) and also modified the
+	test suite to take account of that and the documentation to use the
+	same improvement. [Bug 405769]
+
+2001-03-02  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Fixed bug that could pass
+	pointers to freed memory to command implementations, which most
+	obviously caused some weird behaviour with [info level], but could
+	have caused problems with user code and command traces too. [Bug
+	404865, Patch 405436]
+
+2001-02-23  msofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* no changes; fixing up the missing comment in the previous one.
+	Sorry.
+
+2001-02-23  msofer  <msofer@ant.utdt>
+
+	* /cvsroot/tcl/tcl/tests/execute.test: added test for evaluation of an
+	expression in a variable; evals once by compiling, second time using
+	the previous compilation
+
+2001-02-18  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* doc/clock.n: Updated documentation to reflect the addition of
+	compat/strftime.c, including the correct formatting of ISO-8601:1988
+	fiscal week number (%V).
+
+2001-02-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SplitObjCmd): Improved efficiency of
+	splitting strings into individual characters by adding hash so that
+	only one Tcl_Obj per character is created. Improves performance of
+	splitting of short strings and makes a huge difference to splitting of
+	long strings, such as is done in the mime package in tcllib. [Bug
+	131523]
+
+2001-01-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc (install-libraries):  Corrected misdirected install
+	directory for the msgcat 1.2 package.
+
+2001-01-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Moved code that updates the count of how
+	many bytes are left to copy. Corrects bug that when writing occurs in
+	the background, the copy loop could be escaped without updating the
+	count, causing CopyData() to try to copy more bytes than the toRead
+	value originally passed to TclCopyChannel(), leading to hangs and
+	misreporting of number of bytes copied. [Bug 118203, Patch 103432]
+
+2001-01-18  Andreas Kupries  <a.kupries@westend.com>
+
+	Everything below belongs together, it fixes [Bug 123153]
+
+	* generic/tcl.h (line 342): A bit more explanation about the default
+	value for TCL_PRESERVE_BINARY_COMPATABILITY.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h (line 1208): Define the macro 'Tcl_InitHashTable' only
+	when TCL_PRESERVE_BINARY_COMPATIBILITY is not set as it kills binary
+	compatibility to 8.3 and earlier versions. This is the main part of
+	the patch/change.
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls (line 1469):
+	* generic/tclHash.c (Tcl_InitHashTable):
+	* generic/tclHash.c (Tcl_InitHashTableEx):
+	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_InitObjHashTable): Changed
+	'Tcl_InitHashTableEx' to 'Tcl_InitCustomHashTable'. This change is
+	more of an estethical nature, replacing the ubiquitous 'Ex' suffix
+	with a more meaningful name. The introduced binary incompatibility is
+	deemed acceptable as it is between alpha versions.  Updated callers.
+
+	* doc/Hash.3:
+	* unix/mkLinks: Changed 'Tcl_InitHashTableEx' to
+	'Tcl_InitCustomHashTable'.
+
+2001-01-10  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-1.20):
+	* tests/winDde.test (createChildProcess):
+	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test (pkgtest::createIndex): Removed assumption
+	that paths contain no spaces which causes problems with both [eval]
+	and [open |...] due to the well-known differences between lists and
+	strings. Fixes [Bug 119406]
+
+2001-01-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test:
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):  Several entries in the
+	library path ($tcl_libPath) are determined relative to the absolute
+	path of the executable. When the executable is installed in or near
+	the root directory of the file system, relative pathnames were being
+	incorrectly generated, and in the worst case, memory access violations
+	were crashing the program. [Bug 119416, Patch 102972]

+

+	* tests/winPipe.test:
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid):
+	* win/tclWinTest.c:  Gave Tcl_WaitPid the ability to return a Win32
+	exception code translated into a posix style SIG*. This allows [close]
+	to report "CHILDKILLED" without the meaning getting lost in a
+	truncated exit code. In TclCleanupChildren(), TclpGetPid() had to get
+	moved to before Tcl_WaitPid() as the the handle is removed from the
+	list taking away the ability to get the process id after the wait is
+	done. This shouldn't effect the unix implimentaion unless waitpid is
+	called with a pid of zero, meaning "any". I don't think it is..

+2002-12-08  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c (SocketThreadExitHandler, InitSockets):  Check
+	that the tsdPtr is valid before dereferencing as we call it from the
+	exit handler, too [Bug 650353]. Another WSAStartup() loaded version
+	comparison byte swap issue fixed. Although 0x0101 byte swapped is
+	still 0x0101, properly claiming which is major/minor is more correct.

+
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: regen
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: regen

+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclWinResetInterfaces):
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings, WinEncodingsCleanup):
+	add exit handler that resets the encoding information to a state where
+	we can reuse Tcl. Following these changes, it is possible to reuse Tcl
+	(following Tcl_FindExecutable or Tcl_CreateInterp) following a
+	Tcl_Finalize.
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclFinalizeFilesystem): reset statics to their
+	original values on finalize to allow reuse of the library.
+
+2002-12-04  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c: reverted back to -r1.27 due to numerous test
+	failures that need to be resolved first. The idea was good, but the
+	details aren't.
+
+2002-12-04  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid):  When a process exits with an
+	exception, pass this notice on to the caller with a SIG* code rather
+	than truncating the exit code and missing the meaning. This allows
+	TclCleanupChildren() to report "CHILDKILLED".
+
+	This has a different behavior than unix in that closing the read pipe
+	to a process sends the SIGPIPE signal which is returned as a SIGPIPE
+	exit status. On windows, we send the process a CTRL_BREAK_EVENT and
+	get back a CONTROL_C_EXIT which is documented to mean a SIGINT which
+	seems wrong as a system, but is the correct exit status.
+
+2002-12-04  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to redirected 'load' in virtual filesystem
+	for some Unix systems.
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c: the filesystem must be cleaned up before the
+	encoding subsystem because it needs access to encodings. Fixes crash
+	on exit observed in embedded applications.
+
+	* generic/tclTestObj.c: patch omitted from previous change of
+	2002-11-13
+
+2002-12-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclStubLib.c (Tcl_InitStubs): prevent the cached check of
+	tclStubsPtr to allow for repeated load/unload of the Tcl dll by
+	hosting apps. [Bug 615304]
+
+2002-12-03  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c (sigHandler): Protect from trying to close a NULL
+	handle.
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc, TclpCreateProcess): Send a real
+	Win32 signal (CTRL_C_EVENT) when the read channel is brought down to
+	alert the child to close on its side. Start the process with
+	CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP to allow the ability to send these signals.
+	The following test case now brings down the child without the use of
+	an external [kill] command.
+
+	% set p [open "|[info name]" w+]
+	file8d5380
+	% pid $p
+	2876
+	% close $p     <- now doesn't block in Tcl_WaitPid()
+	%
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc): Changed CTRL_C_EVENT to
+	CTRL_BREAK_EVENT as it can't be ignored by the child and proved to
+	work on [open "|netstat 1" w+] where CTRL_C_EVENT didn't.
+
+2002-11-27  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: Don't turn off winsock prototypes!  TclX didn't
+	like it. Even though the core doesn't use the prototypes, do offer
+	them.
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c: Removed shutdown() from the function table as it
+	wasn't referenced anywhere and cleaned-up some casting that that
+	wasn't needed.
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c: WSAStartup() loaded version comparison error which
+	resulted in 2.0 looking less than 1.1.
+
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel): return of DuplicateHandle()
+	incorrectly used. [Bug 618852]
+
+2002-11-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclFinalizeEncodingSubsystem): properly

+
+	* unix/Makefile.in (valgrind): add simple valgrind target
+
+	* tests/exec.test: unset path var to allow singleproc testing
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (AliasCreate): preserve/release interps to
+	prevent possible FMR error in bad alias cases.
+
+2002-11-26  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:
+	* win/tclWinSock.c:  This patch does two things:
+
+	1) Cleans-up the winsock typedefs by using the typedefs provided by
+	winsock2.h. This has no effect on how winsock is initialized; just
+	makes the source code easier to read. [Patch 561305 561301]
+
+	2) Revamps how the socket message handler thread is brought up and
+	down to allow for cleaner exits without the use of TerminateThread().
+	TerminateThread is evil. No attempt has been made to resolve [Bug
+	593810] which may need a new channel driver version for adding a
+	registering function within the transfered thread to init the handler
+	thread. IOW, initialization of the TSD structure is getting bypassed
+	through the thread extension's [thread::transfer] command.
+
+2002-11-26  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinConsole.c:
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c:
+	* win/tclWinSock.c:
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c:
+	* win/tclWinTime.c:  General cleanup of all worker threads used by the
+	channel drivers. Eliminates the normal case where the worker thread is
+	terminated ('cept the winsock one). Instead, use kernel events to
+	signal a clean exit. Only when the worker thread is blocked on an I/O
+	call is the thread terminated. Essentially, this makes all other
+	channel worker threads behave like the PipeReaderThread() function for
+	it's cleaner exit behavior. This appears to fix [Bug 597924] but needs
+	3rd party confirmation to close the issue.
+
+2002-11-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/README: Update msys build env URL. This release #4 build both
+	tcl and tk without problems.
+
+2002-11-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* library/init.tcl:         code cleanup to reduce use of
+	* library/opt/optparse.tcl: string compare
+
+	* tests/interp.test: interp-14.4
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (TclPreventAliasLoop): prevent seg fault when

+
+2002-11-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (SetEndOffsetFromAny): handle integer offset
+	after the "end-" prefix.
+
+	* generic/get.test:
+	* generic/string.test:
+	* generic/tclObj.c (SetIntFromAny, SetWideIntFromAny):

+
+2002-11-18  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread/TclpThreadExit): Fixed improper
+	compiler macros that missed the VC++ compiler. This resulted in VC++
+	builds using CreateThread()/ExitThread() in place of the proper
+	_beginthreadex()/_endthreadex(). This was a large error and am
+	surprised I missed seeing it earlier.
+
+2002-11-13  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/regexpComp.test: added tests 22.*
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): add left and right
+	anchoring (^ and $) recognition and check starting or ending .* to
+	extend the number of REs that can be compiled to string match or
+	string equal.
+
+2002-11-13  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
+	* tests/trace.test: applied patch from Hemang Levana to fix [Bug
+	615043] in execution traces with 'return -code error'.
+
+	* generic/tclTestObj.c:
+	* tests/stringObj.test: added 'knownBug' test for [Bug 635200]
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c: corrected typos in comments
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c:
+	* tests/fileName.test: applied patch for bug reported against tclvfs
+	concerning handling of Windows serial ports like 'com1', 'lpt3' by the
+	virtual filesystem code.
+
+	* doc/RegExp.3: clarification of the 'extendMatch' return values.
+
+2002-11-11  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_Backslash): use TclUtfToUniChar.
+	(Tcl_StringCaseMatch): use TclUtfToUniChar and add further
+	optimizations for the one-byte/char case.
+
+	* generic/tclUtf.c: make use of TclUtfToUniChar macro throughout the
+	functions, and add extra optimization to Tcl_NumUtfChars for
+	one-byte/char case.
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (DisposeTraceResult, CallVarTraces): add proper
+	static declarations.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_GetCharLength): optimize for the ascii
+	char case.
+	(Tcl_GetUniChar): remove unnecessary use of Tcl_UtfToUniChar.
+	(FillUnicodeRep): Use TclUtfToUniChar.
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey): move string++ lower to save an
+	instruction.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): improve INST_STR_CMP to
+	use memcmp in the one-byte/char case, also use direct index for
+	INST_STR_INDEX in that case.
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (UtfToUtfProc, UtfToUnicodeProc):
+	(TableFromUtfProc, EscapeFromUtfProc): Use TclUtfToUniChar.
+	(UnicodeToUtfProc, TableToUtfProc): add 1-byte char optimizations for
+	Tcl_UniCharToUtf call. These improve encoded channel conversion speeds
+	by up to 20%.
+
+	* tests/split.test: added 1-char string split tests
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SplitObjCmd): Use TclUtfToUniChar. Also
+	added a special case for single-ascii-char splits.
+	(Tcl_StringObjCmd): Use TclUtfToUniChar. For STR_RANGE, support
+	getting ranges of ByteArrays (reverts change from 2000-05-26).
+	(TraceExecutionProc) add proper static declaration.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: add macro version of Tcl_UtfToUniChar
+	(TclUtfToUniChar) that does the one-byte utf-char check without
+	calling Tcl_UtfToUniChar, for use by the core. This brings notable
+	speedups for primarily ascii string handling.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h (TCL_PATCH_LEVEL): bump to 8.4.1.1 for patchlevel
+	only. This interim number will only be reflected by [info patchlevel].
+
+2002-11-11  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* doc/Tcl.n: Corrected indentation of the new language. Oops.
+
+2002-11-10  Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* doc/Tcl.n: Added language to the Endekalogue to make it clear that
+	substitutions always take place from left to right. [Bug 635644]
+
+2002-11-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes: Note TclInExit TclInThreadExit changes.
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (TclInExit, TclInThreadExit): Split out
+	functionality of TclInExit to make it clear which one should be called
+	in each situation.
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: Declare TclInThreadExit.
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: Regen.
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regen.

+	* win/tclWinConsole.c (ConsoleCloseProc):
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCloseFile):
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialCloseProc): Invoke the new TclInThreadExit
+	method instead of TclInExit.
+
+2002-11-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Generate a fatal configure error if
+	no ar program can be found on the path. [Bug 582039]
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Check that AR, RANLIB, and RC are found on the
+	path when building with gcc.
+
+2002-11-03  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c:  Calls Registry_Init() and Dde_Init() when
+	STATIC_BUILD and TCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES macros are set.
+
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/rules.vc:  linkexten option now sets the TCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES
+	macro which also adds the registry and dde object files to the link
+	of the shell. [Patch 479697] Also factored some additional macros that
+	will be helpful for extension authors. Version grepping of tcl.h will
+	need to be added to complete this.
+
+	* win/buildall.vc.bat: Added more descriptive commentary.
+
+2002-11-01  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinReg.c:  Changed the Tcl_PkgProvide() line to declare the
+	registry extension at version 1.1 from 1.0.
+
+2002-10-31  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/word.tcl: Changed $tcl_platform to $::tcl_platform to avoid
+	possible scope trouble.
+
+2002-10-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: added comments about certain NULL function
+	pointers which will be filled in when Tcl_FindExecutable is called, so
+	that users don't report invalid bugs on this topic. (No code changes
+	at all).
+
+2002-10-29  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpFindSymbol): pass all dyld error messages

+
+	* library/auto.tcl:	Converted the Mac-specific [package unknown]
+	* library/init.tcl:	behavior to use a chaining mechanism to extend
+	* library/package.tcl:	the default [tclPkgUnknown]. [Bug 627660]
+	* library/tclIndex:	[Patch 624509] (steffen)
+
+2002-10-26  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: xcopy on NT 4.0 doesn't support the /Y switch
+	(overwrite). Added logic to handle this. [Bug 618019]
+
+2002-10-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Removed definitions of obsolete HistoryEvent and
+	HistoryRev structures (the history mechanism has been written in Tcl
+	for some time now.)

+	use standard MAXPATHLEN instead of literal 1024
+
+2002-10-22  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/StringObj.3, doc/Object.3: Documented that Tcl_Obj's standard
+	string form is a modified UTF-8; apparently, this was not mentioned
+	anywhere in the main docs, and lead to [Bug 624919].
+
+2002-10-21  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: bumped version to 8.4.1

+2002-10-09  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWinTime.c: Added code to set an exit handler that terminates
+	the thread that calibrates the performance counter, so that the thread

+
+2002-09-30  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): correct the checking

+	were correct, but much slower than necessary.
+
+2002-09-29  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c: Added proper exiting conditions using Win32
+	console signals. This handles the existing lack of a Ctrl+C exit to
+	call exit handlers when built for thread support. Also, properly
+	handles exits from other conditions such as CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT,
+	CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT, and CTRL_SHUTDOWN_EVENT signals. In all cases,
+	exit handlers will be called. [Bug 219355]
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: Added missing tclThreadAlloc.c to the build rules
+	and defines USE_THREAD_ALLOC when TCL_THREADS is defined to get the
+	new behavior by default.

+
+	* unix/ldAix (nmopts): add -X32_64 to make it work for 32 or 64bit
+	mode compilation.
+
+	* library/encoding/koi8-u.enc: removed extraneous spaces that confused
+	encoding reader. [Bug 615115]
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: generate source dists with -src designator and do

+	(SEH test): Define to be 1 instead of empty value.
+	(EXCEPTION_DISPOSITION): Add test.

+	Cygwin.
+	* generic/tclEnv.c (Tcl_CygwinPutenv): putenv replacement for Cygwin.

+	native format.
+	(TclDoGlob): Likewise.
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h (TCHAR): Define for Cygwin.
+	* win/tclWinPort.h (putenv, TclpSysAlloc, TclpSysFree,
+	(TclpSysRealloc): Define for Cygwin.
+
+2002-09-26  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Makefile: preserve environment value of INSTALL_ROOT. When
+	embedding only use deployment build. Force relink before embedded
+	build to ensure new linker flags are picked up.
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: add symbolic links to debug lib,
+	stub libs and tclConfig.sh in framework toplevel. Configure target
+	dependency fix. Fix to 'clean' action. Added private tcl headers to
+	framework. Install tclsh symbolic link. Html doc build works when no
+	installed tclsh available. Made html doc structure in framework more
+	like in Apple frameworks.
+
+2002-09-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

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

+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add PEEK_XCLOSEIM define under

+
+	* win/coffbase.txt: Added BLT to the virtual base address listings
+	table should BLT's build tools decide to use it.
+

+
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* mac/tclMacApplication.r:
+	* mac/tclMacLibrary.r:
+	* mac/tclMacResource.r: unified use of the two equivalent resource
+	compiler header inclusion defines RC_INVOKED and RESOURCE_INCLUDED,
+	now use RC_INVOKED throughout.
+
+2002-09-10  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/README: Add note about building extensions with the same
+	compiler Tcl was built with. [Tk Bug 592096]
+
+2002-09-10  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: disabled building html
+	documentation during embedded build.
+
+2002-09-10  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: added DYLIB_INSTALL_DIR variable for macosx and

+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
+	* macosx/Makefile: added support for building Tcl as an embedded
+	framework, i.e. using an dyld install_name containing
+	@executable_path/../Frameworks via the new DYLIB_INSTALL_DIR
+	unix/Makefile variable.

+
+	* doc/file.n:  Format correction, and clarified [file normalize]
+	returns an absolute path.
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:  Added examples section, as long promised.
+
+2002-09-06  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+

+
+2002-09-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:  Clarified phrasing.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand,CallCommandTraces):
+	* tests/trace.test (trace-27.1): Corrected memory leak when a rename
+	trace deleted the command being traced. Test added. Thanks to Hemang
+	Lavana for the fix. [Bug 604609]
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclDeleteVars):  Corrected logic for setting the
+	TCL_INTERP_DESTROYED flag when calling variable traces. [Tk Bug 605121]
+
+2002-09-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (DeleteArray): leak plug [Bug 604239]. Thanks to
+	dkf and dgp for the long and difficult discussion in the chat.
+
+2002-09-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UpVar2): code cleanup to not use goto
+
+	* unix/configure: remove -pthread from LIBS on FreeBSD in thread
+	* unix/tcl.m4:    enabled build. [Bug 602849]
+
+2002-09-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (AliasCreate): a Tcl_Obj was leaked on error
+	return from TclPreventAliasLoop.
+
+2002-09-03  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: Bumped version number to 8.4.0
+	and updated copyright info.
+
+2002-09-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UpVar2): a Tcl_Obj was being leaked on error
+	return from TclGetFrame.
+
+2002-09-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes:  Updated changes for 8.4.0 release.
+
+2002-09-02  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c (TclpObjLink): removed unnecessary/unfreed extra
+	native char*.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (Tcl_MakeTcpClientChannel): make sure to init
+	flags field of TcpState ptr to 0.
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tcl.m4: added 64-bit gcc compilation support on HP-11.
+	[Patch 601051] (martin)
+
+	* README:		Bumped version number to 8.4.0
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* unix/tcl.spec:
+	* win/README.binary:
+	* win/configure:
+	* win/configure.in:
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (SlaveCreate): make sure that the memory and
+	checkmem commands are initialized in non-safe slave interpreters when
+	TCL_MEM_DEBUG is used. [Bug 583445]
+
+	* win/tclWinConsole.c (ConsoleCloseProc): only wait on writable pipe
+	if there was something to write. This may prevent infinite wait on
+	exit.
+
+	* tests/exec.test: marked exec-18.1 unixOnly until the Windows
+	incompatability (in the test, not the core) can be resolved.
+
+	* tests/http.test (http-3.11): added close $fp that was causing an
+	error on Windows because the file was not closed before deleting.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (Tcl_MacOSXGetLibraryPath): made this static
+	function only appear when HAVE_CFBUNDLE is defined.
+
+2002-08-31  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: added TK_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS analogue of existing
+	TCL_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS for linker settings only used when linking Tk.
+
+	* unix/configure: regen
+
+2002-08-31  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	*** macosx-8-4-branch merged into the mainline [Patch 602770] ***
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls: added new macosx specific entry to stubs table.
+
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl: added generation of platform guards for
+	macosx. This is a little more complex than it seems, because MacOS X
+	IS "unix" plus a little bit, for the purposes of Tcl. BUT
+	unfortunately, Tk uses "unix" to mean X11. So added platform keys for
+	macosx (the little added to "unix"), "aqua" and "x11" to distinguish
+	these for Tk.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: added a #ifnded RESOURCE_INCLUDED so that tcl.h can
+	be passed to the resource compiler.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclNotify.c: added a few Notifier procs, to be able to
+	modify more bits of the Tcl notifier dynamically. Required to get Mac
+	OS X Tk to live on top of the Tcl Unix threaded notifier. Changes the
+	size of the Tcl_NotifierProcs structure, but doesn't move any elements
+	around.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: moved the call to Tcl_ConditionNotify till
+	AFTER we are done mucking with the pointer swap. Fixes cases where the
+	thread waiting on the condition wakes & accesses the waitingListPtr
+	before it gets reset, causing a hang.
+
+	* library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary): added checking the directories
+	in the tcl_pkgPath for library files on macosx to enable support of
+	the standard Mac OSX library locations.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* unix/tcl.m4: added MAC_OSX_DIR. Added PLAT_OBJS to the OBJS: there
+	are some MacOS X specific files now for Tcl, and when I get the
+	resource & applescript stuff ported over, and restore support for
+	FindFiles, etc, there will be a few more. Added LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR
+	configure variable to avoid having to set all possible LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+	analogues on all platforms. LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR is "LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
+	by default, "LIBPATH" on AIX, "SHLIB_PATH" on HPUX and
+	"DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" on Mac OSX. Added configure option to package Tcl
+	as a framework on Mac OSX.
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c (new): support for finding Tcl extension
+	packaged as 'bundles' in the standard Mac OSX library locations.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: added support for findig the tcl script library
+	inside Tcl packaged as a framework on Mac OSX.
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser (new):
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj (new): project for Apple's
+	ProjectBuilder IDE.
+
+	* macosx/Makefile (new): simple makefile for building the project from
+	the command line via the ProjectBuilder tool 'pbxbuild'.
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h: regen
+
+2002-08-29  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpFinalizeThreadData, TclWinFreeAllocCache):
+	Applied patch for [Bug 599428], provided by Miguel Sofer
+	<msofer@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+2002-08-28  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclEnv.c:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:  putenv() on some systems copies the buffer rather
+	than taking reference to it. This causes memory leaks and is know to
+	effect mswindows (msvcrt) and NetBSD 1.5.2 . This patch tests for this
+	behavior and turns on -DHAVE_PUTENV_THAT_COPIES=1 when approriate.
+	Thanks to David Welton for assistance. [Bug 414910]
+
+	* unix/configure: regen'd
+
+2002-08-28  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/eval.n: Added mention of list command and corrected "SEE ALSO".
+
+	* unix/configure.in: Cache handling of ac_cv_type_socklen_t was wrong.
+	[Bug 600931] reported by John Ellson. Fixed by putting the brackets
+	where they belong.
+
+2002-08-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: fix for [Bug 599788] (error in element name
+	causing segfault), reported by Tom Wilkason. Fixed by copying the
+	tokens instead of the source string.
+
+2002-08-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: small optimisation, reducing the new
+	allocator's overhead.
+
+2002-08-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (USE_THREAD_ALLOC): fixed leak [Bug 597936]. Thanks
+	to Zoran Vasiljevic.
+
+2002-08-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (USE_THREAD_ALLOC): moving objects between
+	caches as a block, instead of one-by-one.
+
+2002-08-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: fix for freed memory r/w in delete traces [Bug
+	589863], patch by Hemang Lavana.
+
+2002-08-20  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in (CFLAGS):
+	* unix/Makefile.in (MEM_DEBUG_FLAGS): Added usage of @MEM_DEBUG_FLAGS@.
+	* win/configure.in:
+	* unix/configure.in: Added usage of SC_ENABLE_MEMDEBUG.
+	* win/tcl.m4:
+	* unix/tcl.m4: Added macro SC_ENABLE_MEMDEBUG. Allows a user of
+	configure to (de)activate memory validation and debugging
+	(TCL_MEM_DEBUG). No need to modify the makefile anymore.
+
+2002-08-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCkalloc.c:	CONSTified MemoryCmd and CheckmemCmd.
+
+	* README:		Bumped version number to 8.4b3 to distinguish
+	* generic/tcl.h:	HEAD from the 8.4b2 release.
+	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* unix/tcl.spec:
+	* win/README.binary:
+	* win/configure.in:
+
+	* unix/configure:	autoconf
+	* win/configure:
+
+	* library/http/http.tcl:	Corrected installation directory of
+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:	the package tcltest 2.2. Added
+	* library/opt/optparse.tcl:	comments in other packages to remind
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	that installation directories need
+	* unix/Makefile.in:		updates to match increasing version
+	* win/Makefile.in:		numbers. [Bug 597450]
+	* win/makefile.bc:
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+
+2002-08-19  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTest.c (TestfilehandlerCmd): Changed readable/writable
+	to the more common readable|writable. Fixes [Bug 596034] reported by
+	Larry Virden <lvirden@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+2002-08-16  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test: Added test to make sure that the cause of the
+	problem is detectable with an unpatched Tcl.
+	* doc/ObjectType.3: Added note on the root cause of this problem to
+	the documentation, since it is possible for user code to trigger this
+	sort of behaviour too.
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (SetFsPathFromAny): Objects should only have
+	their old representation deleted when we know that we are about to
+	install a new one. This stops a weird TclX bug under Linux with
+	certain kinds of memory debugging enabled which essentally came down
+	to a double-free of a string.
+
+2002-08-14  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclObj.c: (code cleanup) factored the parts in the macros
+	TclNewObj() / TclDecrRefCount() into a common part for all
+	memory allocators and two new macros TclAllocObjStorage() /
+	TclFreeObjStorage() that are specific to each allocator and fully
+	describe the differences. Removed allocator-specific code from
+	tclObj.c by using the macros.
+
+2002-08-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: fixing UMR in delete traces, [Bug 589863].
+
+2002-08-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tools/man2help.tcl: Fixed $argv handling bug where if -bitmap wasn't
+	specified $argc was off by one.
+
+2002-08-08  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/uplevel.test: added 6.1 to test [uplevel] with shadowed
+	commands [Bug 524383]
+
+	* tests/subst.test: added 5.8-10 as further tests for [Bug 495207]
+
+2002-08-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/README: Noted removal of defs.tcl.
+
+2002-08-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* doc/lsearch.n: corrected lsearch docs to use -inline in examples.
+
+	*** 8.4b2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test:
+	* tests/unixFCmd.test: updated tests for new link copy behavior.
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c (CopyRenameOneFile): changed the behavior to
+	follow links to endpoints and copy that file/directory instead of just
+	copying the surface link. This means that trying to copy a link that
+	has no endpoint (danling link) is an error. [Patch 591647] (darley)
+	(CopyRenameOneFile): this is currently disabled by default until
+	further issues with such behavior (like relative links) can be
+	handled correctly.
+
+	* tests/README: slight wording improvements
+
+2002-08-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* docs/BoolObj.3: added description of valid string reps for a
+	boolean object. [Bug 584794]
+	* generic/tclObj.c: optimised Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj and
+	SetBooleanFromAny to avoid parsing the string rep when it can be
+	avoided. [Bugs 584650, 472576]
+
+2002-08-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclObj.c: making tclCmdNameType static ([Bug 584567], Don
+	Porter).
+
+2002-08-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_NewObj): added conditional code for
+	USE_THREAD_ALLOC; objects allocated through Tcl_NewObj() were
+	otherwise being leaked. [Bug 587488] reported by Sven Sass.
+
+2002-08-06  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Added stubs and implementations for
+	non-threaded build for the tclUnixThrd.c procs TclpReaddir,
+	TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime and TclpInetNtoa. Fixes link errors in
+	stubbed & threaded extensions that include tclUnixPort.h and use any
+	of the procs readdir, localtime, gmtime or inet_ntoa (e.g. TclX 8.4)
+	[Bug 589526]
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regen.
+
+2002-08-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	The setup and cleanup scripts are now
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:	skipped when a test is skipped, fixing
+	* tests/tcltest.test:		[Bug 589859]. Test for bug added, and
+	corrected tcltest package bumped to version 2.2.
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	Restored Tcl_Concat to return (char *). Like
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	Tcl_Merge, it transfers ownership of a dynamic
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	allocated string to the caller.
+
+2002-08-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/CmdCmplt.3:	Applied Patch 585105 to fully CONST-ify all
+	* doc/Concat.3:		remaining public interfaces of Tcl. Notably,
+	* doc/CrtCommand.3:	the parser no longer writes on the string it
+	* doc/CrtSlave.3:	is parsing, so it is no longer necessary for
+	* doc/CrtTrace.3:	Tcl_Eval() to be given a writable string. Also
+	* doc/Eval.3:		the refactoring of the Tcl_*Var* routines by
+	* doc/ExprLong.3:	by Miguel Sofer is included, so that the
+	* doc/LinkVar.3:	"part1" argument for them no longer needs to
+	* doc/ParseCmd.3:	be writable either.
+	* doc/SetVar.3:
+	* doc/TraceVar.3:
+	* doc/UpVar.3:		Compatibility support has been enhanced so
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	that a #define of USE_NON_CONST will remove
+	* generic/tcl.h:	all possible source incompatibilities with the
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	8.3 version of the header file(s). The new
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	#define of USE_COMPAT_CONST now does what
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:USE_NON_CONST used to do -- disable only those
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:new CONST's that introduce irreconcilable
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:	incompatibilities.
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	Several bugs are also fixed by this patch.
+	* generic/tclEnv.c:	[Bugs 584051,580433] [Patches 585105,582429]

+2002-08-01  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: bugfix (reading freed memory). Testsuite
+	passed on linux/i386, compile-13.1 hung on linux/alpha.
+
+2002-08-01  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: added a reference count for the complete
+	execution stack, instead of Tcl_Preserve/Tcl_Release.
+
+2002-08-01  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCkalloc.c (TclFinalizeMemorySubsystem): Don't lock the
+	ckalloc mutex before invoking the Tcl_DumpActiveMemory function since
+	it also locks the same mutex. This code is only executed when "memory
+	onexit filename" has been executed and Tcl is compiled with
+	-DTCL_MEM_DEBUG.
+
+2002-08-01  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: The windows headers don't provide socklen_t, so we
+	have to do it.
+
+2002-07-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (USE_THREAD_ALLOC): for unshared objects,
+	TclDecrRefCount now frees the internal rep before the string rep -
+	just like the non-macro Tcl_DecrRefCount/TclFreeObj [Bug 524802]. For
+	the other allocators the fix was done on 2002-03-06.
+
+2002-07-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c: signed/unsigned comparison warning fixed
+	(Vince Darley).
+
+2002-07-31  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_BUGGY_STRTOD): Enabled caching of test results.
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_BUGGY_STRTOD): Solaris 2.8 still has a buggy
+	strtod() implementation; make sure we detect it.
+
+	* tests/expr.test (expr-22.*): Marked as non-portable because it seems
+	that these tests have an annoying tendency to fail in unexpected ways.
+	[Bugs 584825, 584950, 585986]
+
+2002-07-30  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/io.test:
+	* generic/tclIO.c (WriteChars): Added flag to break out of loop if
+	nothing of the input is consumed at all, to prevent infinite looping
+	of called with a non-UTF-8 string. Fixes Bug 584603 (partially). Added
+	new test "io-60.1". Might need additional changes to Tcl_Main so that
+	unprintable results are printed as binary data.
+
+2002-07-29  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Use CC_SEARCH_FLAGS instead of LD_SEARCH_FLAGS
+	when linking with ${CC}.
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/configure.in: Don't subst CC_SEARCH_FLAGS or LD_SEARCH_FLAGS
+	since this is now done in tcl.m4.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Document and set CC_SEARCH_FLAGS
+	whenever LD_SEARCH_FLAGS is set. [Patch 588290]
+
+2002-07-29  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_SERIAL_PORT): Fixed detection for cases when
+                                        configure's stdin is not a tty.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+	* generic/tclIOSock.c:          Changed size_t to socklen_t in
+                                        socket-related function calls.
+
+	* unix/configure.in:            Added test and fallback definition
+                                        for socklen_t.
+
+	* unix/configure:               generated.
+
+2002-07-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c: fixed a comment
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclInterp.c: added the new flag TCL_EVAL_INVOKE to the
+	interface of the Tcl_Eval* functions, removing the
+	TCL_EVAL_NO_TRACEBACK added yesterday: alias invocations not only
+	require no tracebacks, but also look up the command name in the global
+	scope - see new test interp-9.4
+	* tests/interp.test: added 9.3 to test for safety of aliases to hidden
+	commands, 9.4 to test for correct command lookup scope.
+
+2002-07-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/regc_locale.c (cclass): [[:xdigit:]] is only a defined
+	concept on western characters, so should not allow any unicode digit,
+	and hence number of ranges in [[:xdigit:]] is fixed.
+	* tests/reg.test: Added test to detect the bug.
+	* generic/regc_cvec.c (newcvec): Corrected initial size value in
+	character vector structure. [Bug 578363] Many thanks to
+	pvgoran@users.sf.net for tracking this down.
+
+2002-07-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: added the new flag TCL_EVAL_NO_TRACEBACK to the
+	interface of the Tcl_Eval* functions. Modified the error message for
+	too many nested evaluations.
+	* generic/tclInterp.h: changed the Alias struct to be of variable
+	length and store the prefix arguments directly (instead of a pointer
+	to a Tcl_Obj list). Made AliasObjCmd call Tcl_EvalObjv instead of
+	TclObjInvoke - thus making aliases trigger execution traces [Bug
+	582522].
+	* tests/interp.test:
+	* tests/stack.test: adapted to the new error message.
+	* tests/trace.test: added tests for aliases firing the exec traces.
+
+2002-07-27  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Revert fix for Tcl bug 529801 since it was
+	incorrect and broke the build on other systems. Fix [Bug 587299]. Add
+	MAJOR_VERSION, MINOR_VERSION, PATCH_LEVEL, SHLIB_LD_FLAGS,
+	SHLIB_LD_LIBS, CC_SEARCH_FLAGS, LD_SEARCH_FLAGS, and LIB_FILE
+	variables to support more generic library build/install rules.
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/configure.in: Move AC_PROG_RANLIB into tcl.m4. Move shared
+	build test and setting of MAKE_LIB and MAKE_STUB_LIB into tcl.m4. Move
+	subst of a number of variables into tcl.m4 where they are defined.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS, SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Subst vars where
+	they are defined. Add MAKE_LIB, MAKE_STUB_LIB, INSTALL_LIB, and
+	INSTALL_STUB_LIB rules to deal with the ugly details of running ranlib
+	on static libs at build and install time. Replace TCL_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS
+	with SHLIB_LD_FLAGS and use it when building a shared library.
+	* unix/tclConfig.sh.in: Add TCL_CC_SEARCH_FLAGS.
+
+2002-07-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: fixed Tcl_Obj leak in code corresponding to
+	the macro NEXT_INST_V(x, 0, 1) [Bug 587495].
+
+2002-07-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclObjLookupVar): leak fix and improved comments.
+
+2002-07-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): removed early returns that
+	prevented the parens from being restored. Also removed goto label as
+	it was not necessary.
+
+2002-07-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* tests/expr-old.test: fix for erroneous error messages in [expr],
+	[Bug 587140] reported by Martin Lemburg.
+
+2002-07-25  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	bgerror in Tk"
+
+2002-07-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: restoring full TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG
+	functionality.
+
+2002-07-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test: relaxed unixInit-3.1 to accept iso8859-15 as a
+	valid C encoding. [Bug 575336]
+
+2002-07-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: restoring the tcl_traceCompile functionality
+	while I repair tcl_traceExec. The core now compiles and runs also
+	under TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG, but execution in the bytecode engine can
+	still not be traced.
+
+2002-07-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/configure.in: corrected fix for [Bug 529801]: ranlib only
+	needed for static builds on Mac OS X.
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c: fixed small bugs introduced by Vince,
+	implemented library unloading correctly (needs OS X 10.2).

+2002-07-23  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3: (Updates from Larry Virden)
+	* doc/open.n:

+
+2002-07-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Enable 64 bit compilation when using

+
+2002-07-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Combine ranlib tests and avoid printing unless
+	ranlib is actually run.
+
+2002-07-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_X): Set XINCLUDES to "" instead of "# no
+	special path needed" or "# no include files found" when x headers
+	cannot be located.
+
+2002-07-22  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: made tclNativeFilesystem static (since 07-19
+	changes removed its usage elsewhere), and added comments about its
+	usage.
+	* generic/tclLoad.c:
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: converted last load-related ClientData parameter
+	to Tcl_LoadHandle opaque structure, removing a couple of casts in the
+	process.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: removed tclNativeFilesystem declaration since it
+	is now static again.
+
+2002-07-22  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/expr.test (expr-22.*): Added tests to help detect the
+	corrected handling.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (IllegalExprOperandType): Improved error
+	message generated when attempting to manipulate Inf and NaN values.
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c (GetLexeme): Allowed parser to recognise
+	'Inf' as a floating-point number. [Bug 218000]
+
+2002-07-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tclIOUtil.c: Silence compiler warning. [Bug 584408].

+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* win/configure:
+	* win/configure.in: Add AC_PREREQ(2.13) in an attempt to make it more
+	clear that the configure scripts must be generated with autoconf

+
+2002-07-19  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: fix to build on MacOS X [Bug 529801], bug report
+	and fix from jcw.
+
+2002-07-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c (no_timeout): Made this variable static.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c, generic/tclCompile.c, generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclCompile.h (builtinFuncTable, instructionTable): Added
+	prefix to these symbols because they are visible outside the Tcl
+	library.
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (operatorTable):
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (tmKey):
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (theFilesystemEpoch, filesystemWantToModify,
+	filesystemIteratorsInProgress, filesystemOkToModify): Made these
+	variables static.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:		Renamed nativeFilesystem to
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:		tclNativeFilesystem and declared
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:		it properly in tclInt.h
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+
+	* generic/tclUtf.c (totalBytes): Made this array static and const.
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (typeTable): Made this array static and const.
+	(Tcl_ParseBraces): Simplified error handling case so that scans are
+	only performed when needed, and flags are simpler too.
+
+	* license.terms: Added AS to list of copyright holders; it's only
+	fair for the current gatekeepers to be listed here!
+
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test: Renamed constraint for clarity. [Bug 583427]
+	Added tests for the [time] command, which was previously only
+	indirectly tested!
+
+2002-07-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* */*Load*.c: added comments on changes of 07/17 and replaced
+	clientData with Tcl_LoadHandle in all locations.
+
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c:
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: fixed a 'knownBug' with 'file attributes ""'
+	* tests/winFCmd.test:
+	* tests/winPipe.test:
+	* tests/fCmd.test:
+	* tessts/winFile.test: added 'pcOnly' constraint to some tests to make
+	for more useful 'tests skipped' log from running all tests on
+	non-Windows platforms.
+
+2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (CallCommandTraces): delete traces now receive
+	the FQ old name of the command. [Bug 582532] (Don Porter)
+
+2002-07-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/ioUtil.test: added constraints to 1.4,2.4 so they don't run
+	outside of tcltest. [Bugs 583276, 583277]
+
+2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (DupParsedVarName): nasty bug fixed, reported by
+	Vince Darley.
+
+2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclPtrIncrVar): missing CONST in declarations,
+	inconsistent with tclInt.h. Thanks to Vince Darley for reporting, boo
+	to gcc for not complaining.
+
+2002-07-17  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:

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

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

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

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

+	of the fix was to import several auxilliary files into the test file
+	itself.
+
+	* tests/main.test:	Cheap fix for [Bugs 575851, 575858]. Avoid
+	* tests/tcltest.test:	non-writable . by [cd [temporaryDirectory]].
+

+
+2002-07-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileCatchCmd): return

+
+2002-07-02  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+2002-07-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n: more refinements of the documentation.
+

+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:		Reverted [makeFile] and [viewFile] to

+
+2002-07-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

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

+
+	* tests/pkg/samename.tcl: restored. needed by pkgMkIndex.test.
+

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

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

+
+2002-06-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes: updated changes file for 8.4b1 release.
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Corrections to tcltest and the Tcl
+	* tests/basic.test:		test suite so that a test with options
+	* tests/cmdInfo.test:		-constraints knownBug
+	* tests/compile.test:		-limitConstraints 1 only tests the
+	* tests/encoding.test:		knownBug tests. Mostly involves
+	* tests/env.test:		replacing direct access to the
+	* tests/event.test:		testConstraints array with calls to
+	* tests/exec.test:		the testConstraint command (which
+	* tests/execute.test:		requires tcltest version 2)

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

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

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

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

+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* doc/FileSystem.3:
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: fixed up further so both compiles and actually
+	works with VC++ 5 or 6.
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: cleaned up code and vfs tests and added tests for
+	the internal changes of 2002-06-12, to see whether WinTcl on NTFS can
+	coexist peacefully with links in the filesystem. Added new test
+	command 'testfilelink' to enable the newer code to be tested.
+	* tests/fCmd.test: (made certain tests of 'testfilelink' not run on
+	unix).
+
+2002-06-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteTrace): fixed [Bug 568123] (thanks to Hemang
+	Lavana)
+
+2002-06-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: corrected the symbolic link handling code to allow
+	it to compile. Added real definition of REPARSE_DATA_BUFFER (found in
+	winnt.h). Most of the added definitions appear to have correct,
+	cross-Win-version equivalents in winnt.h and should be removed, but
+	just making things "work" for now.
+
+2002-06-12  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: made code for Tcl_FSNewNativePath agree with man
+	pages.
+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: clarified the circumstances under which certain
+	functions are called in the presence of symlinks.
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:  Fix for Windows to allow 'file lstat', 'file
+	type', 'glob -type l', 'file copy', 'file delete', 'file normalize',
+	and all VFS code to work correctly in the presence of symlinks
+	(previously Tcl's behaviour was not very well defined). This also
+	fixes possible serious problems in all versions of WinTcl where 'file
+	delete' on a NTFS symlink could delete the original, not the symlink.
+	Note: symlinks cannot yet be created in pure Tcl.

+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: reverted the new compilation functions; replaced
+	by a more general approach described below.
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: made *all* compiled variable access attempts
+	create an indexed variable - even get or incr without previous set.
+	This allows indexed access to local variables that are created and set
+	at runtime, for example by [global], [upvar], [variable], [regexp],
+	[regsub].
+
+2002-06-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/global.n:
+	* doc/info.n:
+	* test/info.test:
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: fix for [Bug 567386], [info locals] was
+	reporting some linked variables.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: added compile functions for [global], [variable]
+	and [upvar]. They just declare the new local variables, the commands
+	themselves are not compiled-in. This gives a notably faster read
+	access to these linked variables.
+
+2002-06-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: optimised algorithm for exception range
+	lookup; part of [Patch 453709].
+
+2002-06-10  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: fixed [Bug 566669]
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: improved and sped up handling of native paths
+	(duplication and conversion to normalized paths), particularly on
+	Windows.
+	* modified part of above commit, due to problems on Linux. Will
+	re-examine bug report and evaluate more closely.
+
+2002-06-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test:  More corrections to test suite so that tests of
+	failing [test]s don't show up themselves as failing tests.
+
+2002-06-07  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Tidied up headers in relation to float.h to
+	cut the cruft and ensure DBL_MAX is defined since doubles seem to be
+	the same size everywhere; if the assumption isn't true, the variant
+	platforms had better have run configure...
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h (EOVERFLOW): Added code to define it if it
+	wasn't previously defined. Also some other general tidying and adding
+	of comments. [Bugs 563122, 564595]
+	* compat/tclErrno.h: Added definition for EOVERFLOW copied from
+	Solaris headers; I've been unable to find any uses of EFTYPE, which
+	was the error code previously occupying the slot, in Tcl, or any
+	definition of it in the Solaris headers.
+
+2002-06-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Remove hard coded CFLAGS=-g and add
+	CFLAGS_DEBUG, CFLAGS_OPTIMIZE, and CFLAGS_DEFAULT varaibles. [Bug
+	565488]
+
+2002-06-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test:  Corrections to test suite so that tests of
+	failing [test]s don't show up themselves as failing tests.
+
+	* tests/io.test: Fixed up namespace variable resolution issues
+	revealed by running test suite with "-singleproc 1".
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
+	* tests/tcltest.test: Several updates to tcltest.
+	  1) changed to lazy initialization of test constraints
+	  2) deprecated [initConstraintsHook]
+	  3) repaired badly broken [limitConstraints].
+	  4) deprecated [threadReap] and [mainThread]
+	[Patch 512214, Bug 558742, Bug 461000, Bug 534903]
+
+2002-06-06  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpReaddir, TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime): added
+	mutex wrapped calls to readdir, localtime & gmtime in case their
+	thread-safe *_r counterparts are not available.
+	* unix/tcl.m4: added configure check for readdir_r
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): set TCL_DEFAULT_ENCODING to utf-8 on MacOSX
+	(where posix file apis expect utf-8, not iso8859-1).
+	* unix/configure: regen
+	* unix/Makefile.in: set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in parallel to
+	LD_LIBRARY_PATH for MacOSX dynamic linker.
+	* generic/tclEnv.c (TclSetEnv): fix env var setting on MacOSX (adapted
+	from [Patch 524352] by jkbonfield).
+
+2002-06-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/Tcl_Main.3: Documented $tcl_rcFileName and added more
+	clarifications about the intended use of Tcl_Main(). [Bug 505651]
+
+2002-06-05  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (TclGlob): mac specific fix to recent changes
+	in 'glob -tails' handling.
+	* mac/tclMacPort.h:
+	* mac/tclMacChan.c: fixed TIP#91 bustage.
+	* mac/tclMacResource.c (Tcl_MacConvertTextResource): added utf
+	conversion of text resource contents.
+	* tests/macFCmd.test (macFCmd-1.2): allow CWIE creator.
+
+2002-06-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
+	* tests/init.test:
+	* tests/tcltest.test:	Added more TIP 85 tests from Arjen Markus.
+	Converted tcltest.test to use a private namespace. Fixed bugs in
+	[tcltest::Eval] revealed by calling [tcltest::test] from a non-global
+	namespace, and namespace errors in init.test.
+
+2002-06-04  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:
+	* tests/tcltest.test:  Implementation of TIP 85. Allows tcltest users
+	to add new legal values of the -match option to [test], associating
+	each with a Tcl command that does the matching of expected results
+	with actual results of tests. Thanks to Arjen Markus. => tcltest 2.1
+	[Patch 521362]
+
+2002-06-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/namespace.n: added description of [namepace forget] behaviour
+	for unqualified patterns. [Bug 559268]
+
+2002-06-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: reverting an accidental modification in the

+
+2002-06-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/Tcl.n: clarify the empty variable name issue ([Bug 549285]
+	reported by Tom Krehbiel, patch by Don Porter).
+
+2002-05-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/package.tcl:  Fixed leak of slave interp in [pkg_mkIndex].
+	Thanks to Helmut for report. [Bug 550534]
+
+	* tests/io.test:
+	* tests/main.test:  Use the "stdio" constraint to control whether an
+	[open "|[interpreter]"] is attempted.

+	(ExprCallMathFunc):
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclMathInProgress):
+	* unix/Makefile.in (tclMtherr.*):
+	* unix/configure.in (NEED_MATHERR):
+	* unix/tclAppInit.c (matherr):
+	* unix/tclMtherr.c (removed file):
+	* win/tclWinMtherr.c (_matherr): Removed internal routine
+	TclMathInProgress and Unix implementation of matherr(). These are now
+	obsolete, dealing with very old versions of the C math library.
+	Windows version is retained in case Borland compilers require it, but
+	it is inactive. Thanks to Joe English. [Bug 474335, Patch 555635]
+
+	* unix/configure: regen
+
+2002-05-30  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: removed exprIsJustVarRef and
+	exprIsComparison from the ExprInfo and CompileEnv structs. These
+	were set, but not used since dec 1999 [Bug 562383].
+
+2002-05-30  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (TclGlob): fix to longstanding 'knownBug' in
+	fileName tests 15.2-15.4, and fix to a new Tcl 8.4 bug in certain uses
+	of 'glob -tails'.
+	* tests/fileName.test: removed 'knownBug' flag from some tests, added
+	some new tests for above bugs.
+
+2002-05-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/configure: regen'ed
+	* unix/configure.in: replaced bigendian check with autoconf standard
+	AC_C_BIG_ENDIAN, which defined WORDS_BIGENDIAN on bigendian systems.
+	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharNcmp):
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclUniCharNcmp): use WORDS_BIGENDIAN instead of
+	TCL_OPTIMIZE_UNICODE_COMPARE to enable memcmp alternative.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode INST_STR_CMP):
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): changed the case for choosing
+	the Tcl_UniCharNcmp compare to when both objs are of StringType, as
+	benchmarks show that is the optimal check (both bigendian and
+	littleendian systems).
+
+2002-05-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclMain.c: Removed "dummy" reference to Tcl_LinkVar. It is
+	no longer needed since Tcl_Main() now actually calls Tcl_LinkVar().
+	Thanks to Joe English for pointing that out.
+
+2002-05-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode):
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Use the macro version.
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclUniCharNcmp): Optimised still further with a
+	macro for use in sensitive places like tclExecute.c
+
+	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharNcmp): Use new flag to figure out when
+	we can use an optimal comparison scheme, and default to the old scheme
+	in other cases which is at least safe.
+	* unix/configure.in (TCL_OPTIMIZE_UNICODE_COMPARE): New optional flag
+	that indicates when we can use memcmp() to compare Unicode strings
+	(i.e. when the high-byte of a Tcl_UniChar precedes the low-byte.)
+
+2002-05-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* generic/tclUtf.c: added TclpUtfNcmp2 private command that
+	mirrors Tcl_UtfNcmp, but takes n in bytes, not utf-8 chars. This
+	provides a faster alternative for comparing utf strings	internally.
+	(Tcl_UniCharNcmp, Tcl_UniCharNcasecmp): removed the explicit end of
+	string check as it wasn't correct for the function (by doc and logic).
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): reworked the string equal
+	comparison code to use TclpUtfNcmp2 as well as short-circuit for
+	equal objects or unequal length strings in the equal case.
+	Removed the use of goto and streamlined the other parts.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): added check for object
+	equality in the comparison instructions. Added short-circuit for !=
+	length strings in INST_EQ, INST_NEQ and INST_STR_CMP. Reworked
+	INST_STR_CMP to use TclpUtfNcmp2 where appropriate, and only use
+	Tcl_UniCharNcmp when at least one of the objects is a Unicode obj with
+	no utf bytes.
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): removed error creation
+	in code that no longer throws an error.
+
+	* tests/string.test:
+	* tests/stringComp.test: added more string comparison checks.
+
+	* tests/clock.test: better qualified 9.1 constraint check for %s.
+
+2002-05-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (TclpRealloc, TclpFree): protect
+	against the case when NULL is based.
+
+	* tests/clock.test: added clock-9.1
+	* compat/strftime.c:
+	* generic/tclClock.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c: fix for Windows msvcrt mem leak caused by using
+	an env(TZ) setting trick for in clock format -gmt 1. This also makes
+	%s seem to work correctly with -gmt 1 as well as making it a lot
+	faster by avoid the env(TZ) hack. TclpStrftime now takes useGMT as an
+	arg. [Bug 559376]
+
+2002-05-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fixes to Tcl_FSLoadFile when called on a file
+	inside a vfs. This should avoid leaving temporary files sitting
+	around on exit. [Bug 545579]
+
+2002-05-27  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* win/tclWinError.c: Added comment on conversion of
+	ERROR_NEGATIVE_SEEK because that is a mapping that really belongs,
+	and not a catch-all case.
+	* win/tclWinPort.h (EOVERFLOW): Should be either EFBIG or EINVAL
+	* generic/tclPosixStr.c (Tcl_ErrnoId, Tcl_ErrnoMsg): EOVERFLOW can
+	potentially be a synonym for EINVAL.
+
+2002-05-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	=== Changes due to TIP#91 ===
+
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: Added declaration of EOVERFLOW.
+	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Added documentation of wideSeekProc.
+	* generic/tclIOGT.c (TransformSeekProc, TransformWideSeekProc):
+	Adapted to use the new channel mechanism.
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileSeekProc, FileWideSeekProc): Renamed
+	FileSeekProc to FileWideSeekProc and created new FileSeekProc which
+	has the old-style interface and which errors out with EOVERFLOW when
+	the returned file position can't fit into the return type (int for
+	historical reasons).
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (FileSeekProc, FileWideSeekProc): Renamed
+	FileSeekProc to FileWideSeekProc and created new FileSeekProc which
+	has the old-style interface and which errors out with EOVERFLOW when
+	the returned file position can't fit into the return type (int for
+	historical reasons).
+	* mac/tclMacChan.c (FileSeek): Reverted to old interface; Macs lack
+	large-file support because I can't see how to add it.
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek, Tcl_Tell): Given these functions
+	knowledge of the new arrangement of channel types.
+	(Tcl_ChannelVersion): Added recognition of new version code.
+	(HaveVersion): New function to do version checking.
+	(Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc, Tcl_ChannelFlushProc)
+	(Tcl_ChannelHandlerProc): Made these functions use HaveVersion for
+	ease of future maintainability.
+	(Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc): Obvious lookup function.
+	* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_ChannelType): New wideSeekProc field, and
+	seekProc type restored to old interpretation.
+	(TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_3): New channel version.
+
+2002-05-24  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/winPipe.test: Applied patch for [Bug 549617]. Patch and bug
+	report by Kevin Kenny <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c (TcpWatchProc): Fixed [Bug 557878]. We are not
+	allowed to mess with the watch mask if the socket is a server socket.
+	I believe that the original reporter is George Peter Staplin.
+
+2002-05-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/configure.in: Invoke SC_ENABLE_SHARED before calling
+	SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS so that the SHARED_BUILD variable can be checked
+	inside SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Pass -non_shared instead of -shared
+	to ld when configured with --disable-shared under OSF. [Bug 540390]
+
+2002-05-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: added prototype for TclpFilesystemPathType().
+	* mac/tclMacChan.c: use MSL provided creator type if available instead
+	of the default 'MPW '.
+
+2002-05-16  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/CrtObjCmd.3: Added Tcl_GetCommandFromObj, Tcl_GetCommandFullName
+	[Bugs 547987, 414921]
+
+2002-05-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyOutputProc): #if/#endif-ed this function out
+	to stop compiler warnings. Also much general tidying of comments in
+	this file and removal of whitespace from blank lines.
+
+2002-05-13  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (SETBREAK): Solaris thinks ioctl() takes a signed
+	second argument, and Linux thinks ioctl() takes an unsigned second
+	argument. So need a longer definition of this macro to get neither to
+	spew warnings...
+
+2002-05-13  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: clean up all memory allocated by the filesystem,
+	via introduction of 'TclFinalizeFilesystem'.
+	Move TclFinalizeLoad into TclFinalizeFilesystem so we can be sure it
+	is called at just the right time.
+	Fix bad comment also. [Bug 555078 and 'fs' part of 543549]
+	* win/tclWinChan.c: fix comment referring to wrong function.
+
+2002-05-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/load.test:
+	* tests/safe.test:
+	* tests/tcltest.test: Corrected some list-quoting issues and other
+	matters that cause tests to fail when the patch includes special
+	characters. Report from Vince Darley. [Bug 554068]
+
+2002-05-08    David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* doc/file.n:
+	* tools/man2tcl.c:
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl:  Thanks to Peter Spjuth
+	<peter.spjuth@space.se>, again. My prior fix for single-quote macro
+	mis-understanding was wrong. Reverted to reimpliment the 'macro2' proc
+	which handles single-quote macros and restored file.n text arrangement
+	to avoid single-quotes on the first line. Sorry for all the confusion.
+
+2002-05-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tools/man2tcl.c:
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl: Proper source of macro error misunderstanding
+	single-quote as the leading macro command found and repaired.
+
+	* doc/file.n: Reverted to prior state before I messed with it.
+
+2002-05-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Corrected [uplevel] quoting when
+	[source]-ing test script in subdirectories.
+	* tests/fileName.test:
+	* tests/load.test:
+	* tests/main.test:
+	* tests/tcltest.test:
+	* tests/unixInit.test: Fixes to test suite when there's a space in the
+	working path. Thanks to Kevin Kenny.
+
+2002-05-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	-- Changes from Peter Spjuth <peter.spjuth@space.se>
+	* tools/man2tcl.c: Increased line buffer size and a bail-out if that
+	should ever be over-run.
+	* tools/man2help.tcl: Include Courier New font in rtf header.
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl: Improved handling of CS/CE fields. Use Courier
+	New for code samples and indent better.
+
+	* doc/file.n:
+	* doc/TraceCmd.3:  winhelp conversion tools where understanding
+	a ' as the first character on a line to be an unknown macro.
+	Not knowing how to repair tools/man2tcl.c, I decided to rearrange
+	the text in the docs instead.
+
+2002-05-07  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: fix to similar segfault when using 'glob
+	-types nonsense -dir dirname -join * *'. [Bug 553320]
+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: further documentation on vfs.
+	* tests/cmdAH.test:
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:
+	* tests/pkgMkindex.test: Fix to testsuite bugs when running out of
+	directory whose name contains '{' or '['.
+
+2002-05-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/basic.test: Fix for [Bug 549607]
+	* tests/encoding.test: Fix for [Bug 549610]
+	These are testsuite bugs that caused failures when the filename
+	contained spaces. Report & fix by Kevin Kenny.
+
+2002-05-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: fix to freeing a bad object (i.e. segfault)
+	when using 'glob -types nonsense -dir dirname'.
+	* generic/tclWinFile.c: fix to [Bug 551306], also wrapped some long
+	lines.
+	* tests/fileName.test: added several tests for the above bugs.
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: clarified documentation on refCount requirements
+	of the object returned by the path type function.
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c: moved TclpFilesystemPathType to the platform-
+	specific directories, so we can add missing platform-specific
+	implementations. On Windows, 'file system' now returns useful results
+	like "native NTFS", "native FAT" for that system. Unix and MacOS still
+	only return "native".
+	* doc/file.n: clarified documentation.
+	* tests/winFile.test: test for 'file system' returning correct values.
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: test for 'file system' returning correct
+	values. Clean up after failed previous test run.
+
+2002-04-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tcl.m4: change HP-11 SHLIB_LD_LIBS from "" to ${LIBS} so that
+	the .sl knows its dependent libs.
+
+2002-04-26  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/obj.test (obj-11.[56]): Test conversion to boolean more
+	thoroughly.
+	* generic/tclObj.c (SetBooleanFromAny): Was not calling an integer
+	parsing function on native 64-bit platforms! [Bug 548686]
+
+2002-04-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: corrected TclRememberJoinableThread decl to use
+	VOID instead of void.
+	* generic/tclThreadJoin.c: noted that this code isn't needed on Unix.
+
+2002-04-23  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* doc/exec.n:
+	* doc/tclvars.n: doc updates [Patch 509426] (gravereaux)
+
+2002-04-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* mac/tclMacResource.r: added check of TCLTK_NO_LIBRARY_TEXT_RESOURCES
+	#define to allow disabling the inclusion of the tcl library code in
+	the resource fork of Tcl executables and shared libraries.
+
+2002-04-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/TraceCmd.3: New file that documents Tcl_CommandTraceInfo,
+	Tcl_TraceCommand and Tcl_UntraceCommand [Bug 414927]
+
+2002-04-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclAlloc.c:

+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
+	* win/Makefile.in:
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: added new threaded allocator contributed by AOL

+	Unix will define this).
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSRegister, Tcl_FSUnregister): corrected
+	calling of Tcl_ConditionWait to ensure that there would be a condition
+	to wait upon.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FileObjCmd): added cast in FILE_SIZE.
+
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoDeleteFile): check return of setattr API calls

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

+	[exec], changed some result strings.
+
+2002-04-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (Realpath): added a little extra code to

+
+2002-04-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2002-04-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd, TraceVarProc)
+	(TraceCommandProc, TclTraceCommandObjCmd):  corrected potential

+	will free the var in case the eval wants to delete the var trace as
+	well. [Bug 536937] Also converted Tcl_UntraceVar -> Tcl_UntraceVar2

+	man files. Having the contents of tcl.hpj(.in) inside makefile.vc
+	allows for version numbers to be replaced with macros.
+
+	The new nmakehlp.c is built by rules.vc in preprocessing and removes
+	the need to use tricky shell syntax that wasn't compatible on Win9x

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

+
+	* doc/GetIndex.3:

+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):  Revised the

+2002-02-27  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/socket.test (2.7): Accepted and applied patch for [Bug 523470]
+	provided by Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net> to avoid timing
+	problems in that test.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel): Added code to regonize
+	"/dev/tty" (by name) and to not handle it as tty / serial line. This
+	is the controlling terminal and is special. Setting it into raw mode
+	as is done for other tty's is a bad idea. This is a hackish fix for
+	expect [Bug 520624]. The fix has limitation: Tcl_MakeFileChannel
+	handles tty's specially too, but is unable to recognize /dev/tty as it
+	only gets a file descriptor, and no name for it.
+
+2002-02-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (StoreStatData): corrected mem leak.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): prevent obj leak in

+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): removed extra obj allocation.

+2002-02-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmpCmds.c: (bugfix to the bugfix, hopefully the last)
+	Bugfix to the new [for] compiling code: was setting a exceptArray

+	filling it with noise.
+
+2002-02-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Changed to recognize the option

+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (AllocArrayEntry, AllocStringEntry):
+	Before invoking ckalloc when creating a Tcl_HashEntry,

+2002-02-25  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalEx): avoiding a buffer overrun

+
+2002-02-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/regexpComp.test: updated regexp-11.[1-4] to match changes in
+	regexp.test for new regsub syntax
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tcl.m4: added --enable-64bit support for AIX-4 (using -q64
+	flag) when using IBM's xlc compiler.

+	* tests/safe.test: updated safe-8.5 and safe-8.7
+	* library/safe.tcl (CheckFileName): removed the limit on
+	sourceable file names (was only *.tcl or tclIndex files with no more
+	than one dot and 14 chars). There is enough internal protection in a
+	safe interpreter already. [Tk Bug 521560]

+	Kenny).

+
+	--- TIP#76 CHANGES ---
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): Final-argument-less
+	[regsub] returns the modified string.
+	* doc/regsub.n: Updated docs.
+	* tests/regexp.test: Updated and added tests.
+
+	* compat/strtoll.c (strtoll):
+	* compat/strtoull.c (strtoull):
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: Const-ing 64-bit compatability declarations. Note
+	that the return pointer is non-const because it is entirely legal for
+	the functions to be called from somewhere that owns the string being
+	passed. Fixes problem reported by Larry Virden.
+
+2002-02-21  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/mkd.bat (removed):
+	* win/coffbase.txt (new):
+	* win/makefile.bc:
+	* win/makefile.vc:  Changed the 'setup' target to stop using the
+	mkd.bat file and just make the directory right in the rule. Same
+	change to makefile.bc. Neither configure.in nor Makefile.in use it.
+
+	coffbase.txt will be the master list for our "prefered base addresses"
+	set by the linker. This should improve load-time (NT only) by avoiding
+	relocations. Submissions to the list by extension authors are
+	encouraged.
+
+	Added a 'tidy' target to compliment 'clean' and 'hose' to remove just
+	the outputs. Also removed the $(winlibs) macro as it wasn't being
+	used.
+
+	Stuff left to do:
+	1) get the winhelp target to stop building in the tools/ directory.
+	2) stop using rmd.bat
+	3) add more dependacy rules.
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c:  Reverted back to -r1.6, as the header file change
+	to tclPort.h won't allow for easy embedded support outside of the
+	source dist. Thanks to Don Porter for pointing this out to me.
+
+2002-02-21  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/rules.vc:  Added a new "loimpact" option that sets the
+	-ws:aggressive linker option. Off by default. It's said to keep the
+	heap use low at the expense of alloc speed.
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c: Changed #include "tcl.h" to be tclPort.h to remove
+	the raw windows.h include. tclPort.h brings in windows.h already and
+	lessens the pre-compiled-header mush and the randomly useless #pragma
+	comment (lib,...) references throughout the big windows.h tree (as
+	observed at high linker warning levels).
+
+2002-02-21  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Better guessing of LP64/ILP32 architecture, but now
+	sensitive to presence of (suitable) <limits.h>
+
+2002-02-20  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_RegExpRange,Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):
+	Overlooked a few source incompatibilities. Now using CONST84.
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
+	* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_CmdObjTraceProc): silence warning from Sun
+	Workshop compiler.
+
+2002-02-20  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/buildall.vc.bat:
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/rules.vc: General clean-ups. Added compiler and linker tests for
+	a) the pentium 0x0F errata, b) optimizing (not all have this), and c)
+	linker v6 section alignment confusion. All these are tested first to
+	make sure any D4002 or LNK1117 warnings aren't displayed. The pentium
+	0x0F errata is a recommended switch. The v5 linker's section alignment
+	default is 512, but the v6 linker was changed to 4096 in an attempt to
+	speed loading on Win98. I changed the default to always be 512 across
+	both linkers, unless linking statically, then 4096 is used for the
+	claimed speed effect. Using a 512 alignment saves 12k bytes of dead
+	space in the DLL.
+
+	Added IA64 B-stepping errata switch when the compiler supports it.
+
+	Added profiling to $(lflags) when requested and also removed the
+	explict -entry option as the default works fine as is.
+
+	Removed win/tclWinInit.c from the special case section to let it use
+	the common implicit rule as the $(EXTFLAGS) macro it had was never
+	referenced anywhere.
+
+2002-02-20  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Added code to guess the correct settings for
+	TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG and TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE when configure doesn't tell
+	us them, as can happen with extensions.
+
+2002-02-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/format.n: Updated docs to list the specification.
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Made behaviour on 64-bit
+	platforms correctly meet the specification, that %d works with the
+	native word-sized integer, instead of trying to guess (wrongly)
+	from the value being passed.
+
+2002-02-19  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes: First draft of updated changes for 8.4a4 release.
+
+2002-02-15  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: add strtoll/strtoull declarations for
+	platforms that do not define them.
+
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (STRING_AT): removed ptrdiff_t cast and
+	use of VOID* in default case (GNU-ism).

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

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

+	AC_DEFINE(_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS) for Solaris.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:

+	Tcl_ExternalToUtfDString, Tcl_UtfToExternalDString,

+	Tcl_WinUtfToTChar to return (TCHAR *) and Tcl_UtfToUniCharDString to
+	return (Tcl_UniChar *). Modified some callers. This change recognizes
+	that Tcl_DStrings are de-facto white-box objects.
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h: make genstubs
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: corrected use of C++-style comment.
+
+2002-02-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/scan.test:
+	* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): corrected scan 0x... %x handling
+	that didn't accept the 0x as a prelude to a base 16 number. [Bug
+	495213]
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): made early check for
+	bad RE to stop checking further.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): added special case to search
+	for simple 'string map' style regsub calls. Delayed creation of
+	resultPtr object until an initial match is made, as the input string
+	object can then be reused for no matches.
+	(Tcl_StringObjCmd): optimization improvements to the STR_MAP
+	algorithm for zero-length and nocase cases.
+
+	* tests/regexp.test:
+	* tests/regexpComp.test: extra code coverage tests.
+
+	* tests/string.test: added 10.18 and 10.19 extra tests.
+

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

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

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

+	TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_SPEC, and TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_PATH when tclConfig.sh
+	is loaded from the build directory. A Tcl extension should make use of
+	the non-build versions of these variables since they will work in both
+	cases. This modification was described in TIP 34.

+
+	* win/tclWinReg.c (regConnectRegistryProc,RecursiveDeleteKey)
+	(DeleteKey,GetKeyNames,GetType,GetValue,OpenSubKey,SetValue):

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

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

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

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

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

+
+	* generic/tclThreadJoin.c (TclRememberJoinableThread,TclJoinThread):

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

+	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharCaseMatch):
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_StringCaseMatch): Fault with matching

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

+	between MacOS 'classic' and MacOS X.

+	filenames starting with a '~'.

+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c (SocketThreadExitHandler) : added a TerminateThread
+	fallback just in case the socket handler thread is really in a paused
+	state. This can happen when Tcl is being unloaded by the OS from an

+
+2003-12-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclBinary.c (DeleteScanNumberCache, ScanNumber): Made the

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

+
+2003-11-15  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c (TestHashSystemHashCmd): Removed 'const' modifier
+	from hash type structure; it should be const and the hash code assumes
+	it behaves like const, but that's not how the API is defined. Like
+	this, we are following in the same footsteps as Tcl_RegisterObjType()
+	which has the same conditions on its argument. Stops VC++5.2 warning.

+	* generic/tclListObj.c (TclNewListObjDirect): New list constructor

+	array argument which is being used in its entirety.
+
+2003-10-28  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

+	sockets are detected as such.
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c (TcpWatchProc): Watch for FD_CLOSE too when asked
+	for writable events by the generic layer.
+	(SocketEventProc): Generate a writable event too when a close is

+
+	  Together the changes fix [Bug 599468].

+
+2003-10-21   Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: fixed incorrect html generated for

+	instead of illegal  <DL><P><DT>...<DD>...<P><DT>...<DD>...</DL>.
+	Added skipping of directives directly after .TP to avoid them being

+
+2003-10-21  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@pliers.activestate.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Applied the patch coming with

+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (SortInfo,etc): Reorganized so that SortInfo

+	that appends a Tcl_Obj to the errorInfo, saving the caller the trouble
+	of extracting the string rep.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (TclAppendLimitedToObj):	New internal
+	routine that supports truncated appends with optional ellipsis marking.
+	This single routine supports UTF-8-safe truncated appends needed in
+	several places throughout the Tcl source code, mostly for error and
+	stack messages. Clean fix for [Bug 760872].
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Declarations for new internal routines.

+
+	Fixed [Bug 800106] in which 'glob' was incapable of merging the
+	results of a directory listing (real or virtual) and any virtual
+	filesystem mountpoints in that directory (the latter were ignored).
+	This meant boundaries between different filesystems were not seamless
+	(e.g. 'glob */*' across a filesystem boundary was wrong). Added new
+	entry to Tcl_GlobTypeData in a totally backwards compatible way. To
+	allow listing of mounts, registered filesystems must support the
+	'TCL_GLOB_TYPE_MOUNT' flag. If this is not supported (e.g. in tclvfs
+	1.2) then mounts will simply not be listed for that filesystem.
+
+	Fixed [Bug 749876] 'file writable/readable/etc' (NativeAccess) using
+	correct permission checking code for Windows NT/2000/XP where more
+	complex user-based security/access priveleges are available,
+	particularly on shared volumes. The performance impact of this extra
+	checking will need further investigation. Note: Win 95,98,ME have no
+	support for this.
+
+	Also made better use of normalized rather than translated paths in the
+	platform specific code.

+	missing PipeInit() call to make sure the initialization happens.
+
+2003-09-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Makefile: ensure SYMROOT exists if OBJROOT is overridden on
+	command line. Replaced explict use of /usr/bin by ${BINDIR}.
+
+2003-09-24  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/package.tcl (tcl::MacPkgUnknown, tcl::MacOSXPkgUnknown):
+	Minor performance tweaks to reduce the number of [file] invocations.
+	Meant to improve startup times, at least a little bit. (The generic
+	equivalent patch was applied on 2003-02-21).
+
+2003-09-24  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* trace.test: removed 'knownBug' from a test which doesn't illustrate
+	a bug, just a bad test.
+
+2003-09-23  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: changed the evaluation-stack addressing mode, from
+	array-style to pointer-style; the catch stack and evaluation stack are
+	now contiguous in memory. [Patch 457449]
+
+2003-09-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/trace.test (trace-31,32-*):  Added tests for [Bug 807243] and
+	[Bug 811483].
+
+	* library/init.tcl (auto_load, auto_import):  Expanded Eric Melski's
+	2000-01-28 fix for [Bug 218871] to all potentially troubled uses of
+	[info commands] on input data, where glob-special characters could
+	cause problems.
+
+2003-09-20  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/expr.test (expr-23.4): Prevented accidental wrapping round of
+	exponential operation; it isn't portable, and not what I intended to
+	test either. [Bug 808244]
+
+2003-09-19  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: adding (DE)CACHE_STACK_INFO() pairs to protect
+	all calls that may cause traces on ::errorInfo or ::errorCode to
+	corrupt the stack. [Bug 804681]
+
+2003-09-17  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tclPathObj.c: fix to test-suite problem introduced by the bug fix
+	below. No problem in ordinary code, just test suite code which
+	manually adjusts tclPlatform. [Bug 808247]
+
+2003-09-16  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/filename.n: documentation of Windows-specific feature as
+        discussed in [Bug 541989]
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix for normalization of volume-relative paths
+	[Bug 767834]
+        * tests/winFCmd.test: new tests for both of the above.
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: fix for AFS problem in test suite [Bug 748960]

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

+	* doc/expr.n:
+
+2003-09-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/opt/optparse.tcl:	Latest revisions caused [OptGuessType]
+	to guess "int" instead of "string" for empty strings. Missed the
+	required "-strict" option to [string is]. Thanks to Revar Desmera.
+	[Bug 803968]
+
+2003-09-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinLoad.c (TclpDlopen): Changed the error message for
+	ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND to be a bit more helpful in giving us clues.
+	"can't find specified procedure" means a function in the import table,
+	for implicit loading, couldn't be resolved and that's why the load
+	failed.
+
+2003-09-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/Tcl_Main.3:
+	* doc/FileSystem.3:				Implementation of
+	* doc/source.n:					TIPs 137/151. Adds a
+	* doc/tclsh.1:					-encoding option to
+	* generic/tcl.decls:				the [source] command
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SourceObjCmd):	and a new C routine,
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSEvalFileEx):	Tcl_FSEvalFileEx(),
+	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main):			that provides C access
+	* mac/tclMacResource.c (Tcl_MacSourceObjCmd):	to the same function.
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test:				Also adds command line
+	* tests/main.test:	option handling in Tcl_Main() so that tclsh
+	* tests/source.test:	and other apps built on Tcl_Main() respect a
+	-encoding command line option before a script filename. Docs and tests
+	updated as well. [Patch 742683]
+	This is a ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** only for those C programs
+	that embed Tcl, build on Tcl_Main(), and make use of Tcl_Main's former
+	ability to pass a leading "-encoding" option to interactive shell
+	operations.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:				Added internal stub
+	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl*StartupScript*):	table entries for two
+	new functions Tcl_SetStartupScript() and Tcl_GetStartupScript() that
+	set/get the path and encoding for the startup script to be evaluated
+	by either Tcl_Main() or Tk_Main(). Given public names in anticipation
+	of their exposure by a followup TIP.
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:		make genstubs
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+
+2003-09-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/SplitList.3:	Implementation of TIP 148.  Fixes [Bug 489537].
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Updated Tcl_ConvertCountedElement() to quote
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	the leading "#" character of all list elements
+	unless the TCL_DONT_QUOTE_HASH flag is passed in.
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c:	Updated Tcl_ConvertCountedElement() callers
+	* generic/tclListObj.c:	to pass in the TCL_DONT_QUOTE_HASH flags
+	* generic/tclResult.c:	when appropriate.
+
+2003-08-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/return.n:	Updated [return] docs to cover new TIP 90 features.
+
+	* doc/break.n:		Added SEE ALSO references to return.n
+	* doc/continue.n:
+
+2003-09-01  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/Namespace.3: Basic documentation for the TIP#139 functions. This
+	will need improving, but the basic bits are there at least.
+
+2003-08-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/catch.n:	Updated [catch] docs to cover new TIP 90 features.
+
+2003-08-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	Corrected bug in TIP 90 implementation where
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test:	the default -errorcode NONE value was not
+	copied into the return options dictionary. This correction modified
+	one test result.
+
+2003-08-27  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* compat/strftime.c (_fmt): Removed syst array intializer that
+	couldn't take variables within it under the watcom compiler:
+	'Initializers must be constant'. I believe Borland has this strictness
+	as well. VC++ must be non-standard about this.
+
+	Changed Win32 platform #ifdef from 'WIN32' to '__WIN32__' as this is
+	the correct one to use across the Tcl sources. Even though we do force
+	it in tcl.h, the true parent one is __WIN32__.
+
+	Added missing CONST'ification usage to match prototype listed in
+	tclInt.decls.
+
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:  Added a block for OpenWatcom adjustments that
+	fixes 1) the same issue Mo did for MinGW lack of missing LPFN_*
+	typedefs in their WINE derived <winsock2.h> and 2) The need to be
+	strict about how the char type needs to be signed by default.
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c:  Added OpenWatcom to the commentary about the
+	#ifdef HAVE_NO_LPFN_DECLS block.
+
+	* win/tclWinTime.c:  Changed use of '_timezone' to 'timezone' as this
+	difference is already adjusted for in tclWinPort.h. Removed
+	unreferenced posixEpoch file-scope global.
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (WinReadLinkDirectory): Fix for 'Initializers must
+	be constant' with the driveSpec array using OpenWatcom.
+
+2003-08-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	Corrected [Bug 411825] and other bugs in
+	TclNeedSpace() where non-breaking space (\u00A0) and backslash-escaped
+	spaces were handled incorrectly.
+	* tests/util.test:	Added new tests util-8.[2-6].
+
+2003-08-26  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Added some support for the LCC-Win32 compiler.
+	Unfortunetly, this compiler has a bug in its preprocessor and can't
+	build Tcl even with this minor patch. Also added some support for the
+	OpenWatcom compiler. A new win/makefile.wc to follow soon.
+
+2003-08-25  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl (genStubs::makeDecl): A more subtle way of
+	generating stubbed declarations allows us to have declarations of a
+	function in multiple interfaces simultaneously.
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls: Duplicated some namespace declarations from
+	tclInt.decls here, as mandated by TIP #139. This is OK since the
+	declarations match and will end up using the declarations in the
+	public code from now on because of #include ordering. Keeping the old
+	declarations in tclInt.decls; there's no need to gratuitously break
+	compatability for those extensions which are already clients of the
+	namespace code.
+
+2003-08-23  Zoran Vasiljevic  <zoran@archiwrae.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: merged fixes for thread-unsafe handling of
+	filesystem records [Bug 753315]. This also fixed the [Bug 788780]
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: merged fixes for thread-unsafe handling of
+	filesystem records. [Bug 753315]
+
+	* generic/tclFileSystem.h: merged fixes for thread-unsafe handling of
+	filesystem records. [Bug 753315]
+
+2003-08-19  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialErrorStr): Fixed a syntax error created in
+	the previous code cleanup.
+
+2003-08-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c: Adjusted commenting and spacing usage to follow
+	the principles of the Style Guide better.
+
+2003-08-18  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS): Use test instead of -eq, which does
+	not work. [Bug 781109]
+
+2003-08-13  Chengye Mao <chengye.geo@yahoo.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c: fixed a bug in BuildCommandLine. This bug built a
+	command line with a missing space between tclpipe.dll and the
+	following arguments. It caused error in Windows 98 when exec
+	command.com (e.g. dir). [Bug 789040]
+
+2003-08-11  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	TIP #136 IMPLEMENTATION from Simon Geard <simon.geard@ntlworld.com>
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LrepeatObjCmd): Adapted version of Simon's
+	* doc/lrepeat.n:			  patch, updated to the HEAD
+	* tests/lrepeat.test:			  and matching the core style.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (buildIntCmds):	Splice into core.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* doc/list.n:				Cross-reference.
+
+2003-08-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c: recognize amd64 and ia32_on_win64 cpus.
+
+2003-08-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:	Added escape so that non-Windows
+	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:	platforms do not try to use the
+	registry package. This can save a costly and pointless package search.
+	Bumped to 1.3.1. Thanks to Dave Bodenstab. [Bug 781609]
+
+2003-08-05  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_INVOKE, INST_EVAL, INST_PUSH_RESULT):
+	added a Tcl_ResetResult(interp) at each point where the interp's
+	result is pushed onto the stack, to avoid keeping an extra reference
+	that may cause costly Tcl_Obj duplication. Detected by Franco Violi,
+	analyzed by Peter Spjuth and Donal Fellows. [Bug 781585]
+
+2003-07-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3:
+	* doc/Translate.3: better documentation of Tcl_TranslateFileName and
+	related functions. [Bug 775220]
+
+2003-07-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Revert change made on 2003-07-21 since it made the
+	sizeof(Tcl_Obj) different for regular vs mem debug builds.
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Define TclDecrRefCount in terms of
+	Tcl_DbDecrRefCount which removes one layer of inderection.
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclDbInitNewObj, Tcl_DbIncrRefCount,
+	(Tcl_DbDecrRefCount, Tcl_DbIsShared): Define ThreadSpecificData that
+	contains a hashtable. The table is used to ensure that a Tcl_Obj is
+	only acted upon in the thread that allocated it. This checking code is
+	enabled only when mem debug and threads are enabled.
+
+2003-07-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/async.test:	Added several tests that demonstrate [Bug
+	* tests/basic.test:	489537], Tcl's longstanding failure to
+	* tests/dict.test:	properly quote any leading '#' character when
+	* tests/dstring.test:	generating the string rep of a list so that
+	* tests/list.test:	the comment-power of that character is hidden
+	* tests/parse.test:	from any [eval], in order to satisfy the
+	* tests/util.test:	documentation that [list] does [eval]-safe
+				quoting.
+
+2003-07-24  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* library/package.tcl: Fixed a typo that broke pkg_mkIndex -verbose.
+	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Added a test for [pkg_mkIndex -verbose].
+
+	* ChangeLog.2002 (new file):
+	* ChangeLog: broke changes from 2002 into ChangeLog.2002 to reduce
+	size of the main ChangeLog.
+
+2003-07-23  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: changes to html-tcl & html-tk targets for
+	compatibility with non-gnu makes.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: added macosx/README to dist target.
+
+2003-07-23  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinReg.c (OpenSubKey): Fixed bug 775976 which causes the
+	registry set command to fail when built with VC7.
+	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Incremented the version to 1.1.2.
+
+2003-07-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	Check that the thread incrementing or decrementing the ref count of a
+	Tcl_Obj is the thread that originally allocated the thread. This fail
+	fast behavior will catch programming errors that allow a single
+	Tcl_Obj to be accessed from multiple threads.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_Obj): Add allocThread member to Tcl_Obj. This
+	member records the thread id the Tcl_Obj was allocated. It is used to
+	check that any future ref count incr or decr is done from the same
+	thread that allocated the Tcl_Obj. This member is defined only when
+	threads and mem debug are enabled.
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclNewObj, TclDbNewObj, TclDecrRefCount):
+	Define TclNewObj and TclDbNewObj using TclDbInitNewObj when mem debug
+	is enabled. This fixes a problem where TclNewObj calls did not work
+	the same as TclDbNewObj when mem debug was enabled.
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclDbInitNewObj, Tcl_DbIncrRefCount,
+	(Tcl_DbDecrRefCount): Add new helper to init Tcl_Obj members when mem
+	debug is enabled. Init the allocThread member in TclDbInitNewObj and
+	check it in Tcl_DbIncrRefCount and Tcl_DbDecrRefCount to make sure a
+	Tcl_Obj allocated in one thread is not being acted upon in another
+	thread.
+
+2003-07-21  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* test/cmdAH.test: ensure certain tests run in local filesystem. [Bug
+	748960]
+
+2003-07-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Makefile: added option to allow installing manpages in
+	addition to default html help.
+
+2003-07-18  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/Utf.3: Tightened up documentation of Tcl_UtfNext and Tcl_UtfPrev
+	to better match the behaviour. [Bug 769895]
+
+2003-07-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: upped to http v2.4.4
+	* library/http/http.tcl: add support for user:pass info in URL.
+	* tests/http.test:       [Bug 759888] (shiobara)
+
+2003-07-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:                Restored the [Eval] proc to replace
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  the [::puts] command when either the
+	-output or -error option for [test] is in use, in order to capture
+	data written to the output or error channels for comparison against
+	what is expected.  This is easier to document and agrees better with
+	most user expectations than the previous attempt to replace [puts]
+	only in the caller's namespace.  Documentation made more precise on
+	the subject.  [Bug 706359]
+
+	* doc/AddErrInfo.3:	Improved consistency of documentation by
+	* doc/CrtTrace.3:      	using "null" everywhere to refer to the
+	* doc/Encoding.3:      	character '\0', and using "NULL" everywhere
+	* doc/Eval.3:          	to refer to the value of a pointer that points
+	* doc/GetIndex.3:      	to nowhere. Also dropped references to ASCII
+	* doc/Hash.3:          	that are no longer true, and standardized on
+	* doc/LinkVar.3:       	the hyphenated spelling of "null-terminated".
+	* doc/Macintosh.3:
+	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3:
+	* doc/SetVar.3:
+	* doc/StringObj.3:
+	* doc/Utf.3:
+
+	* doc/CrtSlave.3 (Tcl_MakeSafe):  Removed warning about possible
+	deprecation (no TIP on that).
+
+2003-07-17  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: fix for compilation errors on platforms where
+	configure detects non-functional chflags(). [Bug 748946]
+
+	* macosx/Makefile: Rewrote buildsystem for Mac OS X framework build
+	to be purely make driven; in order to become independent of Apple's
+	closed-source IDE and build tool. The changes are intended to be
+	transparent to the Makefile user, all existing make targets and cmd
+	line variable overrides should continue to work. Changed build to only
+	include tcl specific html help in Tcl.framework, the tk specific html
+	help is now included in Tk.framework. Added var to allow overriding of
+	tclsh used during html help building (Landon Fuller).
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser: Changed to purely call through to
+	the make driven buildsystem; Tcl.framework is no longer assembled by
+	ProjectBuilder.
+	Set default SYMROOT in target options to simplify setting up PB
+	(manually setting common build folder for tcl & tk no longer needed).
+
+	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: Added options to allow building only the
+	tcl or tk html help files; the default behaviour with none of the new
+	options is to build both, as before.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Added targets for building only the tcl or tk help
+
+	* macosx/README (new): Tcl specific excerpts of tk/macosx/README.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Updated reminder comment about editing
+	macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj when version number changes.
+
+2003-07-16  Mumit Khan  <khan@nanotech.wisc.edu>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c (SetFsPathFromAny): Add Cygwin specific code to
+	convert POSIX filename to native format.
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_TranslateFileName): And remove from here.
+	(TclDoGlob): Adjust for cygwin and append / for dirs instead of \
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjChdir): Use chdir on Cygwin.
+	[Patch 679315]
+
+2003-07-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* library/safe.tcl (FileInAccessPath): normalize paths before
+	comparison. [Bug 759607] (myers)
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (NotifierThreadProc): correct size of found and
+	word vars from int to long. [Bug 767578] (hgo)
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:       Add recognition of -DTCL_UTF_MAX=6 on the make
+	* generic/regcustom.h: line to support UCS-4 mode. No config arg at
+	this time, as it is not the recommended build mode.
+
+	* generic/tclPreserve.c: In Result and Preserve'd routines, do not
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:     assume that ckfree == free, as that is not
+	* generic/tclResult.c:   always true. [Bug 756791] (fuller)
+
+2003-07-16  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/CrtSlave.3 (Tcl_MakeSafe): Updated documentation to strongly
+	discourage use. IMHO code outside the core that uses this function is
+	a bug... [Bug 655300]
+
+2003-07-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_GlobObjCmd):	[Bug 771840]
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c (Tcl_FSConvertToPathType):[Bug 771947]
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (GetModeFromPermString):	[Bug 771949]
+	Silence compiler warnings about unreached lines.
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl (ProcessFlags):	Corrected broken call
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:			to [lrange]. Bumped to

+
+2003-07-15  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	crash in load.test.
+
+2003-07-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/array.n: Make sure docs are synched with the 8.4 release.

+2003-07-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/http.n:  Updated SYNOPSIS to match actual syntax of commands.
+	[Bug 756112]
+
+	* unix/dltest/pkga.c:	Updated to not use Tcl_UtfNcmp and counted
+	strings instead of strcmp (not defined in any #include'd header) and
+	presumed NULL-terminated strings.
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIfCmd):  Prior fix of Bug 711371 on
+	2003-04-07 introduced a buffer overflow. Corrected. [Bug 771613]
+
+2003-07-15  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+

+2003-07-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (SortCompare): Cleared up confusing error
+	message. [Bug 771539]
+
+2003-07-11  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/binary.test (binary-46.*): Tests to help enforce the current
+	behaviour.
+	* doc/binary.n: Documented that [binary format a] and [binary scan a]
+	do encoding conversion by dropping high bytes, unlike the rest of the
+	core. [Bug 735364]
+
+2003-07-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/package.tcl:  Corrected [pkg_mkIndex] bug reported on
+	comp.lang.tcl. The indexer was searching for newly indexed packages
+	instead of newly provided packages.
+
+2003-07-08  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/winFCmd.test: fix for five tests under win98 [Bug 767679]

+2003-07-07  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* doc/array.n: add examples from Welton
+
+2003-06-23  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2003-07-04  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/expr.n: Tighten up the wording of some operations. [Bug 758488]
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: Made tests of [file mtime] work better on FAT
+	filesystems. [Patch 760768]  Also a little general cleanup.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Made [string map] accept
+	dictionaries for maps.  This is much trickier than it looks, since map
+	entry ordering is significant. [Bug 759936]
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd, TclArraySet): Made [array get]
+	and [array set] work with dictionaries, producing them and consuming
+	them. Note that for compatability reasons, you will never get a dict
+	from feeding a string literal to [array set] since that alters the
+	trace behaviour of "multi-key" sets. [Bug 759935]
+
+2003-06-23  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclTrace.c: fix to Window debug build compilation error.

+
+2003-06-25  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclTrace.c: New file, factoring out of virtually all the
+	various trace-related things from tclBasic.c and tclCmdMZ.c with the
+	goal of making this a separate maintenance area.
+
+2003-06-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add -ieee when compiling with cc and

+
+2003-06-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/encoding.n: Corrected the docs to say that [source] uses the
+	system encoding, which it always did anyway (since 8.1) [Bug 742100]
+
+2003-06-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (Tcl_HashStats): Prevented occurrence of

+
+	* doc/dde.n:                 Committed TIP #135 which changes the

+	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:  Incremented version to 1.2.5
+
+	* doc/dde.n:                 Committed TIP #120 which provides the

+	* tests/fCmd.test: added two new tests for the bug.
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:

+	but disabled some on the older Win 95/98/ME where they don't seem to
+	work.
+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: documentation fix [Bug 720634]
+
+2003-06-18  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_Export): removed erroneous comments. [Bug
+	756744]
+
+2003-06-17  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc:  fixes to check-in below so compilation now works
+	again on Windows.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
+	* tests/regexp.test: fixing of bugs related to regexp and regsub
+	matching of empty strings. Addition of a number of new tests. [Bug

+	* win/makefile.bc:
+
+2003-06-10  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclConfig.c (ASSOC_KEY): Changed the key to
+	"tclPackageAboutDict" (tcl prefix) to make collisions with the keys of
+	other packages more unlikely.
+
+2003-06-10  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: let TclExecuteObjvInternal call
+	TclInterpReady instead of relying on its callers to do so; fix for the
+	part of [Bug 495830] that is new in 8.4.
+	* tests/interp.test: Added tests 18.9 (knownbug) and 18.10
+
+2003-06-09  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:  Ported the changes from the
+	* generic/tcl.h:      'tip-59-implementation' branch into the CVS
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: head. Regenerated stub table. Regenerated the

+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* generic/tclConfig.c:

+
+	* tools/man2help.tcl: Added duplicate help section checking and

+2003-06-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:
+	* tests/fCmd.test: fix to [Bug #747575] in which a bad error message

+	prefix, but not the same name. Added three new tests.
+
+2003-05-23  D. Richard Hipp <drh@hwaci.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinTime.c: Add tests to detect and avoid a division by zero
+	in the windows precision timer calibration logic.
+
+2003-05-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (tclCmdNameType):  Converted internal rep
+	management of the cmdName Tcl_ObjType the opposite way, to always use
+	the twoPtrValue instead of always using the otherValuePtr. Previous
+	fix on 2003-05-12 broke several extensions that wanted to poke around
+	with the twoPtrValue.ptr2 value of a cmdName Tcl_Obj, like TclBlend
+	and e4graph. [Bug 726018]
+	Thanks to George Petasis for the bug report and Jacob Levy for testing
+	assistance.
+
+2003-05-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2003-05-22  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: added missing references to new
+	source files tclPathObj.c and tclMacOSXFCmd.c.
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c: fixed a problem that caused only the first
+	call to Tcl_MacOSXOpenVersionedBundleResources() for a given bundle
+	identifier to succeed. This caused the tcl runtime library not to be
+	found in all interps created after the inital one.
+
+2003-05-19  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@hippolyta>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c: Corrected a bug in conversion of non-ASCII
+	chars in the format string.
+
+2003-05-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: changed tclConfig.sh location in
+	versioned framework subdirectories to be identical to location in
+	framework toplevel; fixed stub library symbolic links to be tcl
+	version specific.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c: fixed typo.
+
+2003-05-18  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* compat/strftime.c:  Modified TclpStrftime to return its result in
+	* generic/tclClock.c: UTF-8 encoding, and removed the conversion from
+	* mac/tclMacTime.c:   system encoding to UTF-8 from [clock format].
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c: Needed to avoid double conversion of the
+	* win/tclWinTime.c:   timezone name on Windows systems. [Bug 624408]
+
+2003-05-16  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:  Applied TIP #130 which provides for
+	* tests/winDde.test:         unique dde server names. Added some more
+	* win/tclWinDde.c:           tests. Fixes [Bug 219293]
+
+	* doc/dde.n: Updated documentation re TIP #130.
+	* tests/winDde.test: Applied patch for [Bug 738929] by KKB and changed

+2003-05-16  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	Removed one excess source file tclDToA.c
+
+2003-05-16  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: updated copyright year.
+
+2003-05-15  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclGetDate.y: added further hackery to the yacc
+	* generic/tclDate.c:    post-processing to arrange for the code to set

+				736425]
+
+2003-05-15  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): revert glob code to r1.44
+	as 2003-04-11 optimizations broke Windows98 glob'ing.
+
+	* doc/socket.n: nroff font handling correction
+
+	* library/encoding/gb2312-raw.enc (new): This is the original
+	gb2312.enc renamed to allow for it to still be used. This is needed by
+	Tk (unix) because X fonts with gb2312* charsets really do want the
+	original gb2312 encoding. [Bug 557030]
+
+2003-05-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Stop unwarranted demotion of
+	wide values to longs by formatting of int values. [Bug 699060]
+
+2003-05-14  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* library/encoding/gb2312.enc: copy euc-cn.enc over original
+	gb2312.enc. gb2312.enc appeared to not work as expected, and most uses
+	of gb2312 really mean euc-cn (which may be the cause of the problem).
+	[Bug 557030]
+
+2003-05-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	Implementation of TIP 118:
+
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c (TclFileAttrsCmd): return the list of attributes
+	that can be retrieved without error for a given file, instead of
+	aborting the whole command when any error occurs.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: added support for new file attributes and for
+	copying Mac OS X file attributes & resource fork during [file copy].
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: added declarations of new external commands
+	needed by new file attributes support in tclUnixFCmd.c.
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c (new): Mac OS X specific implementation of
+	new file attributes and of attribute & resource fork copying.

+	* mac/tclMacFCmd.c: added implementation of -rsrclength attribute &
+	fixes to other attributes for consistency with OSX implementation.
+
+	* mac/tclMacResource.c: fixes to OSType handling.

+
+	* unix/configure.in: check for APIs needed by new file attributes.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:

+
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl: fixes to completely broken code trying to

+
+	* tests/unixFCmd.test: added tests of -readonly attribute.
+
+	* tests/macOSXFCmd.test (new): tests of macosx file attributes and of
+	preservation of attributes & resource fork during [file copy].
+
+	* tests/macFCmd.test: restore -readonly attribute of test dir, as
+	otherwise its removal can fail on unices supporting -readonly.
+
+2003-05-13  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclEnv.c: Another putenv() copy behavior problem repaired
+	when compiling on windows and using microsoft's runtime. [Bug 736421]
+
+2003-05-13  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+

+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:  Changed Tcl_JoinThread parameter name from

+
+2003-05-13  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c: added extended version of the
+	Tcl_MacOSXOpenBundleResources() API taking an extra version number
+	argument: Tcl_MacOSXOpenVersionedBundleResources(). This is needed to
+	be able to access bundle resources in versioned frameworks such as Tcl
+	and Tk, otherwise if multiple versions were installed, only the latest
+	version's resources could be accessed. [Bug 736774]
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (Tcl_MacOSXGetLibraryPath): use new versioned
+	bundle resource API to get tcl runtime library for TCL_VERSION. [Bug
+	736774]
+
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: regen.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: worked around the issue of realpath() not
+	being thread-safe on Mac OS X by defining NO_REALPATH for threaded
+	builds on Mac OS X. [Bug 711232]
+
+2003-05-12  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: General clean-up of tests so that all
+	tcltest-specific commands are protected by constraints and all
+	platforms see the same number of tests. [Bug 736431]
+
+2003-05-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c: (AliasObjCmd):   Added refCounting of the words
+	* tests/interp.test (interp-33.1):      of the target of an interp
+	alias during its execution. Also added test. [Bug 730244]
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclInvokeObjectCommand):  objv[argc] is no
+	longer set to NULL (Tcl_CreateObjCommand docs already say that it
+	should not be accessed).
+
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test:  Forgot to import [temporaryDirectory].
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (tclCmdNameType):  Corrected variable use of the
+	otherValuePtr or the twoPtrValue.ptr1 fields to store a
+	(ResolvedCmdName *) as the internal rep. [Bug 726018]
+
+	* doc/Eval.3:  Corrected prototype for Tcl_GlobalEvalObj [Bug 727622].
+
+2003-05-12  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclObjLookupVar): [Bug 735335] temporary fix,

+
+2003-05-09  Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (TclFreeAllocCache): Fixed memory leak
+	caused by treating cachePtr as a TLS index. [Bug 731754]
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c (Tcl_AppInit): Fixed memory leaks caused by not
+	freeing the memory allocated by setargv and the async handler created
+	by Tcl_AppInit. An exit handler has been created that takes care of
+	both leaks. In addition, Tcl_AppInit now uses ckalloc instead of
+	Tcl_Alloc to allow for easier leak tracking and to be more consistent
+	with the rest of the Tcl core. [Bugs 733156, 733221]
+
+	* tools/encoding/txt2enc.c (main): Fixed memory leak caused by failing
+	to free the memory used by the toUnicode array of strings [Bug 733221]
+
+2003-05-09  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript):
+	* tests/compile.test (compile-3.5): corrected wrong test and
+	behaviour in the earlier fix for [Bug 705406]; Don Porter reported
+	this as [Bug 735055], and provided the solution.
+
+2003-05-09  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_ReturnObjCmd): The array of strings passed
+	to Tcl_GetIndexFromObj must be NULL terminated. [Bug 735186]
+	Thanks to Joe Mistachkin for spotting this.
+
+2003-05-07  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/trace.n: Fixed very strange language in the documentation for
+	'trace add execution'. [Bug 729821]
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd): Made error message for 'trace
+	info' more consistent with documentation. [Bug 706961]
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictInfoCmd): Fixed memory leak caused by
+	confusion about string ownership.  [Bug 731706]
+
+2003-05-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2003-04-28  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictIncrCmd): Updated to reflect the behaviour
+	with wide increments of the normal [incr] command.
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: Added TclIncrWideVar2 to internal stub table
+	and cleaned up.
+	* tests/incr.test (incr-3.*):
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclIncrWideVar2, TclPtrIncrWideVar):
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode):

+2003-04-25  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:  Tcl_EvalObjv() failed to honor the

+
+2003-04-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Applied SF patch #727271. This patch changes the
+	code to catch any errors returned by the windows functions handling
+	TLS ASAP instead of waiting to get some mysterious crash later on due
+	to bogus pointers. Patch provided by Joe Mistachkin.
+
+	This is a stop-gap measure to deal with the low number of ?TLS slots
+	provided by some of the variants of Windows (60-80).

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

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

+	to launch tcltest without it, and it appears harmless otherwise.
+
+2003-03-22  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinDde.c: Make dde services conform the the documentation

+	apparently use a different representation for a pointer to a function

+2003-03-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: added support for building 'make html'
+	from inside distribution directories named with 8.x.x version numbers.
+	tcltk-man2html now uses the latest tcl8.x.x resp. tk8.x.x directories
+	found inside its --srcdir argument.
+
+2003-03-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	id.
+
+2003-03-17  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/lsearch.n:	Altered documentation of -ascii options so
+	* doc/lsort.n:		they don't specify that they operate on ASCII
+				strings, which they never did anyway. [Bug
+				703807]
+
+2003-03-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Only add the modifier that
+	indicates we've got a wide int when we're formatting in an integer
+	style.  Stops some libc's from going mad. [Bug 702622] Also tidied
+	whitespace.
+
+2003-03-13  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_WITH_TCL): Port version number fix that was made in
+	tk instead of tcl sources.
+
+2003-03-13  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	Require autoconf 2.57 or newer, see TIP 34 for a detailed explanation

+	platforms, let the flaming begin.
+
+	* tools/configure: Regen with autoconf 2.57.
+	* tools/configure.in: Require autoconf 2.57.
+	* unix/configure: Regen with autoconf 2.57.
+	* unix/configure.in: Require autoconf 2.57.

+	* unix/tcl.m4: Ditto.
+	* win/configure: Regen with autoconf 2.57.
+	* win/configure.in: Require autoconf 2.57.

+	Tcl_SubstObj() moved to tclParse.c. New routine TclSubstTokens()
+	created in tclParse.c which implements all substantial functioning of
+	Tcl_EvalTokensStandard(). TclCompileScript() loses its "nested"
+	argument, the Tcl_Interp struct loses its termOffset field and the

+	used (indirectly) by Tcl_SubstObj(). Tests subst-8.7,8.8,11.4,11.5
+	modified to accomodate the only behavior change: reporting of parse
+	errors now takes precedence over [return] and [continue] exceptions.
+	All other behavior should remain compatible. [RFE 536831,684982] [Bug

+
+	* generic/tcl.h:        Removed TCL_PREFIX_IDENT and TCL_DEBUG_IDENT

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

+
+2003-02-27  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+

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

+2003-02-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c: restored Tcl_SetObjLength() side-effect of
+	always invalidating unicode rep (if the obj has a string rep). Added
+	hasUnicode flag to String struct, allows decoupling of validity of
+	unicode rep from buffer size allocated to it (improves memory
+	allocation efficiency). [Bugs 686782, 671138, 635200]

+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
+	* macosx/Makefile: reworked embedded build to no longer require
+	relinking but to use install_name_tool instead to change the
+	install_names for embedded frameworks. [Bug 644510]
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: preserve mod dates when running
+	'make install' to build framework (avoids bogus rebuilds of dependent
+	frameworks because tcl headers appear changed).
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-1.8): fix failure when system encoding is

+	* win/tclWinTime.c: Added code to test and compensate for forward
+	leaps of the performance counter. See the MSDN Knowledge Base article
+	Q274323 for the hardware problem that makes this necessary on certain
+	machines.
+	* tests/winTime.test: Revised winTime-2.1 - it had a tolerance of
+	thousands of seconds, rather than milliseconds. (What's six orders of
+	magnitude among friends?) Both the above changes are triggered by a
+	problem reported at:
+	http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/ActiveTcl/1536811
+	although the developers find it difficult to believe that it accounts
+	for the observed behavior and suspect a fault in the RTC chip.
+
+2003-02-13  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c: Added conversion from the system encoding to
+	tcl_platform(user), so that it works with non-ASCII7 user names. [Bug
+	685926]
+
+	* doc/tclsh.1: Added language to describe the handling of the
+	end-of-file character \u001a embedded in a script file. [Bug 685485]
+
+2003-02-11  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/fileName.test:
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c: fix for [Bug 685445] when using 'glob -l' on
+	broken symbolic links. Added two new tests for this bug.
+
+2003-02-11  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/http.test: Corrected a problem where http-4.14 would fail when
+	run in an environment with a proxy server. Replaced references to
+	scriptics.com by tcl.tk.
+
+2003-02-11  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/lsearch.test:
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): protect against the case
+	that lsearch -regepx list and pattern objects are equal.
+
+	* tests/stringObj.test:
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_GetCharLength): correct ascii char opt
+	of 2002-11-11 to not stop early on \x00. [Bug 684699]
+
+	* tests.parse.test: remove excess EOF whitespace
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (CommandComplete): more paranoid check to break
+	on (p >= end) instead of just (p == end).
+
+2003-02-11  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (CommandComplete):
+	* tests/parse.test: fix for [Bug 684744], by Don Porter.
+
+2003-02-11  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSJoinPath, Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath):
+	(UpdateStringOfFsPath): revert the cwdLen == 0 check and instead
+	follow a different code path in Tcl_FSJoinPath.
+	(Tcl_FSConvertToPathType, Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath):
+	(Tcl_FSGetFileSystemForPath): Update string rep of path objects before
+	freeing the internal object. (darley)
+
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: added test 8.3
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath):
+	(UpdateStringOfFsPath): handle the cwdLen == 0 case
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): simplify the hidden file
+	match check.
+
+2003-02-10  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure:
+	* win/configure.in: Generate error when attempting to build under
+	Cygwin. The Cygwin port of Tcl/Tk does not build and people are filing
+	bug reports under the mistaken impression that someone is actually
+	maintaining the Cygwin port. A post to comp.lang.tcl asking someone to
+	volunteer as an area maintainer has generated no results. Closing bugs
+	680840, 630199, and 634772 and marking as "Won't fix".
+
+2003-02-10  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/append.n: Return value was not documented. [Bug 683188]

+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: further filesystem optimization, applying [Patch
+	682500]. In particular, these code examples are faster now:
+	    foreach f $flist { if {[file exists $f]} {file stat $f arr;...}}
+	    foreach f [glob -dir $dir *] { # action and/or recursion on $f }
+	    cd $dir
+	    foreach f [glob *] { # action and/or recursion on $f }
+	    cd ..
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c: Fix for [Bug 683181] where test suite left files
+	in 'tmp'.
+
+2003-02-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* library/safe.tcl: code cleanup of eval and string comp use.
+
+2003-02-07  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: cleanup long lines
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: sped up pure 'glob' by a factor of 2.5
+	('foreach f [glob *] { file exists $f }' is still slow)
+	* tests/fileSystem.text:
+	* tests/fileName.test: added new tests to ensure correct behaviour in
+	optimized filesystem code.
+
+2003-02-07  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c:
+	* tests/fileSystem.text: fixed test 7.2 to avoid a possible crash, and
+	not change the pwd.
+
+	* tests/http.text: added comment to test 4.15, that it may fail if you
+	use a proxy server.
+
+2003-02-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIncrCmd):
+	* tests/incr.test: Don't include the text "(increment expression)" in
+	the errorInfo generated by the compiled version of the incr command
+	since it does not match the message generated by the non-compiled
+	version of incr. It is also not possible to match this error output
+	under Jacl, which does not support a compiler.
+
+2003-02-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): When an error is
+	encountered reading the increment value during a compiled call to
+	incr, add a "(reading increment)" error string to the errorInfo
+	variable. This makes the errorInfo variable set by the compiled incr
+	command match the value set by the non-compiled version.
+	* tests/incr-old.test: Change errorInfo result for the compiled incr
+	command case to match the modified implementation.
+	* tests/incr.test: Add tests to make sure the compiled and
+	non-compiled errorInfo messages are the same.
+
+2003-02-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Filename arguments to [outputChannel]
+	and [errorChannel] (also -outfile and -errfile) were [open]ed but
+	never [closed]. Also, [cleanupTests] could remove output or error
+	files. [Bug 676978].
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: Bumped to version 2.2.2.
+
+2003-02-05  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/interp.test:
+	* tests/set-old.test: Run test cases that depend on hash order through
+	lsort so that the tests also pass under Jacl. Does not change test
+	results under Tcl.

+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:
+	* win/tclWinInit.c:
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: fix to finalization/unloading/encoding issues
+	to make filesystem much less dependent on encodings for its cleanup,
+	and therefore allow it to be finalized later in the exit process. This
+	fixes fileSystem.test-7.1. Also fixed one more bug in setting of
+	modification dates of files which have undergone cross-platform
+	copies. [Patch 676271]
+
+	* tests/basic.test:
+	* tests/exec.test:
+	* tests/fileName.test:
+	* tests/io.test: fixed some test failures when tests are run from a
+	directory containing spaces.
+
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:
+	* generic/tclTest.c: added regression test for the modification date
+	setting of cross-platform file copies.
+
+2003-02-03  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Changed [trace add command] so that 'rename'
+	callbacks get fully qualified names of the command. [Bug 651271].
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	* tests/trace.test: Modified the test cases for [trace add command] to
+	expect fully qualified names on the 'rename' callbacks. Added a case
+	for renaming a proc within a namespace.
+	* doc/trace.n: Added language about use of fully qualified names in
+	trace callbacks.
+
+2003-02-01  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: Removed an unused variable that caused
+	compiler warnings on SGI. [Bug 664379]
+
+	* generic/tclLoad.c: Changed the code so that if Tcl_StaticPackage is
+	called to report the same package as being loaded in two interps, it
+	shows up in [info loaded {}] in both of them (previously, it didn't
+	appear in the static package list in the second).
+
+	* tests/load.test Added regression test for the above bug. [Bug
+	670042]
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c: Fixed a bug that incorrectly allowed [clock
+	clicks {}] and [clock clicks -] to be accepted as if they were [clock
+	clicks -milliseconds].
+
+	* tests/clock.test: Added regression tests for the above bug. [Bug
+	675356]
+
+	* tests/unixNotfy.test: Added cleanup of working files. [Bug 675609]
+
+	* doc/Tcl.n: Added headings to the eleven paragraphs, to improve
+	formatting in the tools that attempt to extract tables of contents
+	from the manual pages. [Bug 627455]
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c: Expanded mutex protection around the setting of
+	env(TZ) and the thread-unsafe call to tzset(). [Bug 656660]
+
+2003-01-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test: Cleaned up management of file/directory
+	creation/deletion to improve "-debug 1" output. [Bug 675614]
+	The utility [slave] command failed to properly [list]-quote a
+	constructed [open] command, causing failure when the pathname
+	contained whitespace. [Bug 678415]
+
+	* tests/main.test: Stopped main.test from deleting existing file. Test
+	suite should not delete files that already exist. [Bug 675660]
+
+2003-01-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/main.test: Constrain tests that do not work on Windows. [Bug
+	674387]
+
+2003-01-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to setting modification date in
+	TclCrossFilesystemCopy. Also added 'panic' in
+	Tcl_FSGetFileSystemForPath under illegal calling circumstances which
+	lead to hard-to-track-down bugs.
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c: added test suite code to allow exercising a
+	vfs-crash-on-exit bug in Tcl's finalization caused by the encodings
+	being cleaned up before unloading occurs.
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: added new 'knownBug' test 7.1 to demonstrate
+	the crash on exit.
+
+2003-01-28  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Add TCL_PREFIX_IDENT and TCL_DEBUG_IDENT, used only
+	by TclpCreateProcess.
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Define TCL_DBGX.
+	* win/Makefile.in: Define TCL_DBGX.
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): Check that the Tcl pipe dll
+	actually exists in the Tcl bin directory and panic if it is not found.
+	Incorporate TCL_DBGX into the Tcl pipe dll name. This fixes a really
+	mysterious error that would show up when exec'ing a 16 bit application
+	under Win95 or Win98 when Tcl was compiled with symbols. The error
+	seemed to indicate that the executable could not be found, but it was
+	actually the Tcl pipe dll that could not be found.
+
+2003-01-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/README: Update msys+mingw URL to release 6. This version bundles
+	gcc 3.
+
+2003-01-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Add test that checks to see if the compiler can
+	cast to a union type.
+	* win/tclWinTime.c: Squelch compiler warning about union initializer
+	by casting to union type when compiling with gcc.
+
+2003-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel): Invoke
+	TclpCutFileChannel and TclpSpliceFileChannel.
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Declare TclpCutFileChannel and
+	TclpSpliceFileChannel.
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileCloseProc, TclpOpenFileChannel,
+	(Tcl_MakeFileChannel, TclpCutFileChannel, TclpSpliceFileChannel):
+	Implement thread load data cut and splice for file channels. This
+	avoids an invalid memory ref when compiled with -DDEPRECATED.
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (FileCloseProc, TclpCutFileChannel,
+	(TclpSpliceFileChannel): Implement thread load data cut and splice for
+	file channels. This avoids an invalid memory ref that was showing up
+	in the thread extension.
+
+2003-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace, squelch_warnings):
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel, squelch_warnings):
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, DoCopyFile, squelch_warnings):
+	Re-implement inline ASM SEH handlers for gcc. The esp and ebp
+	registers are now saved on the stack instead of in global variables so
+	that the code is thread safe. Add additional checks when TCL_MEM_DEBUG
+	is defined to be sure the values were recovered from the stack
+	properly. Remove squelch_warnings functions and add a dummy call in
+	the handler methods to squelch compiler warnings.
+
+2003-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure:
+	* win/configure.in: Define HAVE_ALLOCA_GCC_INLINE when we detect that
+	no alloca function is found in malloc.h and we are compiling with GCC.
+	Remove HAVE_NO_ALLOC_DECL define.
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace): Don't define alloca as a
+	cdecl function. Doing this caused a tricky runtime bug because the
+	_alloca function expects the size argument to be passed in a register
+	and not on the stack. To fix this problem, we use inline ASM when
+	compiling with gcc to invoke _alloca with the size argument loaded
+	into a register.
+
+2003-01-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinDde.c (Dde_Init): clarified use of tsdPtr.
+	(DdeServerProc): better refcount handling of returnPackagePtr.
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): revert finalize change on
+	2002-12-04 to correct the issue with extensions that have TSD needing
+	to finalize that before they are unloaded. This issue needs further
+	clarification.
+
+	* tests/unixFCmd.test: only do groups check on unix
+
+2003-01-24  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c: proper fixes for Tcl_SetObjLength and
+	Tcl_AttemptSetObjectLength dealing with string objects with both
+	pure-unicode and normal internal representations. Previous fix didn't
+	handle all cases correctly.
+	* generic/tclIO.c: Add 'Tcl_GetString()' to ensure the object has a
+	valid 'objPtr->bytes' field before manipulating it directly.
+
+	This fixes [Bug 635200] and [Bug 671138], but may reduce performance
+	of Unicode string handling in some cases. A further patch will be
+	applied to address this, once the code is known to be correct.
+
+2003-01-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Add test to see if alloca is undefined in
+	malloc.h.
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace): Rework the SEH exception
+	handler logic to avoid using the stack since alloca will modify the
+	stack. This was causing a nasty bug that would set the exception
+	handler to 0 because it tried to pop the previous exception handler
+	off the top of the stack.
+
+2003-01-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/lset.n: Fixed fault in return values from lset in documentation
+	examples [SF Bug #658463] and tidied up a bit at the same time.
+
+2003-01-21  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/namespace.n (namespace inscope): Clarified documentation
+	[Patch 670110]
+
+2003-01-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Set SHLIB_SUFFIX so that
+	TCL_SHLIB_SUFFIX will be set to a useful value in the generated
+	tclConfig.sh. Set SHLIB_LD_LIBS to "" or '${LIBS}' based on the
+	--enable-shared flag. This matches the UNIX implementation.
+
+2003-01-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: change %ud to %u as appropriate.
+
+2003-01-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinDde.c (DdeServerProc): Deallocate the Tcl_Obj returned by
+	ExecuteRemoteObject if it was not saved in a connection object.
+
+2003-01-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Revert earlier change that defined TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE
+	as long long and TCL_LL_MODIFIER as L when compiling with mingw. This
+	change ended up causing some test case failures when compiling with
+	mingw.
+	* generic/tclObj.c (UpdateStringOfWideInt): Describe the warning
+	generated by mingw and why it needs to be ignored so that someone is
+	not tempted to "fix" this problem again in the future.
+
+2003-01-16  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c: Tcl_SetObjLength fix for when the object has
+	a unicode string rep. [Bug 635200]
+	* tests/stringObj.test: removed 'knownBug' constraint from test 14.1
+	now that this bug is fixed.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.z:
+	* tests/trace.test: execution and command tracing bug fixes and
+	cleanup. In particular fixed [Bug 655645], [Bug 615043], [Bug 571385]
+	  - fixed some subtle cleanup problems with tracing. This required
+	    replacing Tcl_Preserve/Tcl_Release with a more robust refCount
+	    approach. Solves at least one known crash caused by memory
+	    corruption.
+	  - fixed some confusion in the code between new style traces (Tcl
+	    8.4) and the very limited 'Tcl_CreateTrace' which existed before.
+	  - made behaviour consistent with documentation (several tests even
+	    contradicted the documentation before).
+	  - fixed some minor error message details
+	  - added a number of new tests
+
+2003-01-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+	allow strict compilation (no warnings).
+
+	* tests/winDde.test:
+	* win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Prevent crash when empty service

+
+2003-01-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2003-01-13  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	Fix mingw build problems and compiler warnings.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Add if defined(__MINGW32__) check to code that sets

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

+
+2003-01-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Pull in addition of shell32.lib to
+	LIBS_GUI that was added to the Tk tcl.m4 but never made it back into
+	the Tcl version.
+
+2003-01-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Skip Tcl's define of CHAR, SHORT, and LONG when
+	HAVE_WINNT_IGNORE_VOID is defined. This avoids a bunch of compiler
+	warnings when building with Cygwin or Mingw.
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Define HAVE_WINNT_IGNORE_VOID when we detect a
+	winnt.h that still defines CHAR, SHORT, and LONG when VOID has already
+	been defined.
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_LOAD_TCLCONFIG): Subst the TCL_DEFS loaded from
+	tclConfig.sh so that Tcl defines can make it into the Tk Makefile.
+
+2003-01-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Check for typedefs like LPFN_ACCEPT in winsock2.h
+	and define HAVE_NO_LPFN_DECLS if not found.
+	* win/tclWinSock.c: Define LPFN_* typedefs if HAVE_NO_LPFN_DECLS is
+	defined. This fixes the build under Mingw and Cygwin, it was broken by
+	the changes made on 2002-11-26.
+
+2003-01-10  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:

+
+2003-01-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

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

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

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

+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
+	* generic/tclProc.c:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* generic/tclTest.c: Added two new functions to allocate memory from
+	the execution stack (TclStackAlloc, TclStackFree). Added functions
+	TclPushStackFrame and TclPopStackFrame that do the work of
+	Tcl_PushCallFrame and Tcl_PopCallFrame, but using frames allocated in
+	the execution stack - i.e., heap instead of C-stack. The core uses
+	these two new functions exclusively; the old ones remain for backwards
+	compat, as at least two popular extensions (itcl, xotcl) are known to
+	use them.
+
+2004-12-14  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclProc.c:
+	* generic/tclVar.c: changing the isProcCallFrame field of the
+	CallFrame struct from a 0/1 field to flags. Should be perfectly
+	backwards compatible.
+
+2004-12-14  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure.in: Added special processing to remove "$U" from
+	libraries in the LIBOBJS value. This is an auto-make-ism we need to
+	avoid. [Bug 1081541]
+
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57
+
+2004-12-13  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Restored extern "C" guards so that C++ code sees
+	function pointer typedef linkage consistent with earlier Tcl releases.
+	[Bug 1082349]
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Plugged some memory leaks. Thanks to Rolf Ade
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	 for reports and testing [Bug 1083082]
+
+2004-12-13  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* doc/clock.n: Clarify that the [clock scan] command does not accept
+	the full range of ISO8601 point-in-time formats. [Bug 1075433]
+
+2004-12-12  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclArrayObjCmd - ARRAY_NAMES): leaking an object
+	[Bug 1084111] - thanks to Rolf Ade.
+
+2004-12-12  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclSetCmdNameObj): special handling for fully
+	qualified command names (as in fix [Patch 456668]).
+
+2004-12-11  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c: converting the static function
+	GetNamespaceFromObj() to MODULE_SCOPE TclGetNamespaceFromObj().
+
+2004-12-10  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tools/tcl.wse.in, unix/tcl.spec, win/README.binary, README:
+	* win/configure.in, unix/configure.in, generic/tcl.h:
+	Bumped version number to 8.5a3 to distinguish HEAD of CVS development
+	from the recent 8.5a2 release.
+
+2004-12-10  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclInitCompiledLocals):
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProc, TclCreateProc): optimised
+	loops that initialise a proc's arguments and compiled local
+	variables, removing tests from inner loops.
+
+2004-12-10  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Move ensemble API decls here from tclNamesp.c
+
+2004-12-09  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclMakeEnsembleCmd, TclSetEnsemble*)
+	(TclSetEnsemble*, TclFindEnsemble): Build an internal API for creating
+	and manipulating ensembles; they can be deleted using the normal
+	command-deletion API.
+
+	* doc/Async.3: Reword for better grammar, better nroff and get the
+	flag name right. (Reported by David Welton.)
+
+2004-12-07  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test (2.1-4): Added constraints so that when a value
+	of TCL_LIBRARY is required for process initialization, we skip the
+	tests that mess with that value.
+
+2004-12-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	*** 8.5a2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: add library/{tzdata,msgs} to dist target (kbk)
+
+	* doc/foreach.n: Adjust tabs to be friendlier to some HTML
+	converters. [Bug 1078760]
+
+2004-12-06  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (NotifierThreadProc): init numFdBits
+	[Bug 1079286]
+
+	* doc/error.n, doc/SaveResult.3, doc/Thread.3: minor nroff typos
+
+2004-12-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/safe.test:	Trim auto_path to improve performance [1080039]
+
+	* tests/msgcat.test:	makeFile/removeFile cleanup [1079117]
+
+2004-12-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	Different fix for [Bug 1077005].
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:	Broke apart TclpSetInitialEncodings() on
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Windows into TclpSetInterfaces(), that is
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	fundamentally essential, and the initialization
+	* win/tclWinInit.c:	of the system encoding, which is not. Made
+	the TclpSetInterfaces call part of TclInitSubsystems so it cannot be
+	overlooked.
+
+2004-12-03  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* changes: updated for 8.5a2 release
+
+2004-12-02  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclSetProcessGlobalValue): Handle the case where
+	a ProcessGlobalValue might be assigned to itself.
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (MakeFileMap): Correct refcounting errors
+	managing values returned by TclPathPart (with refCount of 1!) that led
+	to a memory leak. [Bug 1077474].
+
+2004-12-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c:  fix and new tests for [Bug 1074671] to ensure
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: tilde paths are not returned specially by
+	'glob'.
+
+2004-12-02  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: Added a 'sed' in the setting of ROOT_DIR_NATIVE to
+	compensate for a bug in cygpath (at least version 1.36) that leaves a
+	trailing backslash on the end of the converted path.
+
+2004-12-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (Alias,Target,Master): Rewrote these so that the
+	aliases that refer to an interpreter are stored in a list and not a
+	hashtable (which was only ever a convenience, and forced the use of a
+	global mutex to generate keys!) [FRQ 1077210]
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (numNsCreated): Moved into thread-local storage
+	to remove a global mutex. [FRQ 1077210]
+
+2004-12-01  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetProcessGlobalValue): Narrowed the scope of
+	mutex locks.
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:		Updated Tcl_GetNameOfExecutable() to
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	make use of a ProcessGlobalValue for
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:		storing the executable name. Added
+	internal routines Tcl(Get|Set)ObjNameOfExecutable() to access that
+	storage in Tcl_Obj, rather than string format.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:	Rewrote TclpFindExecutable() to use
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:	TclSetObjNameOfExecutable to store the
+	executable name it computes.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Added internal stub entries for
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: TclpFindExecutable and
+	Tcl(Get|Set)ObjNameOfExecutable.
+
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:	Retrieve executable name in Tcl_Obj form
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:	instead of string form.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTest.c:	Update [testfindexecutable] command to use new
+	internal interfaces.
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	Moved TclpSetInitialEncodings() call
+	from Tcl_FindExecutable() into TclInitEncodingSubsystem(). This is
+	important on Windows where it establishes whether the "ascii" or
+	"unicode" set of system routines will be used, and that needs to be
+	done earlier to support filesystem operations. [Bug 1077005]
+
+2004-12-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/winDde.test: Rewritten to use tcltest2 features more
+	thoroughly (reducing the [catch] count!) and fix the problem with
+	winDde-6.1 being out of synch with the implementation.
+
+2004-11-30  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/init.tcl ([unknown]): Restored the save/restore of the
+	variables ::errorCode and ::errorInfo. This is needed when the
+	[::bgerror] command is auto-loaded (as it is by Tk).
+
+	Patch 976520 reworks several of the details involved with
+	startup/initialization of the Tcl library, focused on the activities
+	of Tcl_FindExecutable().
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c:	Removed bogus claim in comment that encoding
+	"iso8859-1" is "built-in" to Tcl.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Created a new struct ProcessGlobalValue,
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	routines Tcl(Get|Set)ProcessGlobalValue, and
+	function type TclInitProcessGlobalValueProc. Together, these take care
+	of the housekeeping for "values" (things that can be held in a
+	Tcl_Obj) that are global across a whole process. That is, they are
+	shared among multiple threads, and epoch and mutex protection must
+	govern the validity of cached copies maintained in each thread.
+
+	* generic/tclNotify.c:	Modified TclInitNotifier() to tolerate being
+	called multiple times in the same thread.
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:	Dropped the unused argv0 argument to
+	TclInitSubsystems(). Removed machinery to unsure only one
+	TclInitNotifier() call per thread, now that that is safe. Converted
+	Tcl(Get|Set)LibraryPath to use a ProcessGlobalValue, and moved them to
+	tclEncoding.c.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Updated caller.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	TclpFindExecutable now returns void.
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Built new encoding search initialization on a
+	foundation of ProcessGlobalValues, exposing new routines
+	Tcl(Get|Set)EncodingSearchPath. A cache of a map from encoding name to
+	directory pathname keeps track of where encodings are available for
+	loading. Tcl_FindExecutable greatly simplified into just three
+	function calls. The "library path" is now misnamed, as its only
+	remaining purpose is as a foundation for the default encoding search
+	path.
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Inlined the initScript that is evaluated by
+	Tcl_Init(). Added verification after initScript evaluation that Tcl
+	can find its installed *.enc files, and that it has initialized
+	[encoding system] in agreement with what the environment expects.
+	[tclInit] no longer driven by the value of $::tcl_libPath; it largely
+	constructs its own search path now, rather than attempt to share one
+	with the encoding system.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	TclpSetInitialEncodings factored so that a new
+	* win/tclWinInit.c:	routine TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment can
+	reveal that Tcl thinks the [encoding system] should be, even when an
+	incomplete encoding search path, or a missing *.enc file won't allow
+	that initialization to succeed. TclpInitLibraryPath reworked as an
+	initializer of a ProcessGlobalValue.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTest.c:	Update implementations of [testfindexecutable],
+	[testgetdefenc], and [testsetdefenc].
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test:	Corrected tests to operate properly even when
+	a value of TCL_LIBRARY is required to find encodings.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: New internal stubs: TclGetEncodingSearchPath,
+	TclSetEncodingSearchPath, TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment. These
+	are candidates for public exposure by future TIPs.
+
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c:	Updated [testencoding] to use
+	* tests/encoding.test:	Tcl(Get|Set)EncodingSearchPath.	 Updated tests.
+
+2004-11-30  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl: Corrected the regular expressions that match a
+	time zone to allow for time zones specified as +HH or -HH.
+	* tests/clock.test: Added regression test case for the above issue.
+	Thanks to Rolf Ade for reporting this issue [http://wiki.tcl.tk/13094]
+	* win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Corrected a typo that caused a
+	compilation failure on VC++.
+
+2004-11-29  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Brought entry '2004-10-26 Don
+	Porter (Tcl Modules)' into the windows world, actually the
+	win/configure buildsystem. The other windows buildsystems (.vc, .bc)
+	still have to be updated as well.
+
+2004-11-26  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinDde.c (ExecuteRemoteObject): Removed bogus semicolon found
+	at the end of the header for the function definition, terminating it
+	early and preventing a compile. This is likely a fix for '2004-11-25
+	Donal'. I have to conclude that it is also unknown if the other
+	changes to this file actually pass the testsuite. Running testsuite
+	... They don't. winDde-6.1 fails. This is only a message discrepance,
+	i.e. not too bad. Leaving resolution of that to Pat and Donal.
+
+2004-11-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary): Made sure the uniquifying
+	operations on the search path does not also normalize. [Bug 1072136]
+
+2004-11-26  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/configure.in: Simplify the code to check for correctness of
+	strstr, strtoul and strtod.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_TCL_CHECK_BROKEN_FUNC): Split a complex stanza out
+	of configure.in into its own function. Also force it to do the right
+	thing with cacheing of results of AC_TRY_RUN to deal with issue raised
+	in [Patch 1073524]
+
+	* doc/foreach.n: Added simple example. [FRQ 1073334]
+
+2004-11-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProc):	    Make it so that only
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs): [proc] instances do
+	* tests/indexObj.test (indexObj-5.7):	    quoting of their first
+	arguments, so keeping [Bug 942757] fixed and making [Bug 1066837] be
+	fixed as well. Done with a load of #ifdef-ery because this hack is so
+	ugly nobody should keep it around once Itcl's fixed.
+
+2004-11-25  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test: The order in which [glob] returns the file names
+	is undefined, so tests should not depend on it.
+
+2004-11-25  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/Thread.3:
+	* doc/Notifier.3: Added changes from the core-8-4-branch
+
+2004-11-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/dde.n: Synchronized the documentation of the commands with the
+	header of the docs and what the package actually does. Thanks to
+	Andreas Kupries for spotting this.
+	* win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Much cleanup of argument parsing
+	code.
+
+2004-11-24  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclPort.h: Relative include of tclWinPort.h returned as it
+	was requiring me set -I$(tcl_root)/win for my extensions that need to
+	include tclInt.h and doesn't appear to serve any purpose for windows
+	builds.
+
+2004-11-24  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Corrected bad check for 3-argument
+	readdir_r [Bug 1001325].
+	* unix/configure: Regenerated.
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: Corrected all uses of 'select' to manage their
+	masks using the FD_CLR, FD_ISSET, FD_SET, and FD_ZERO macros rather
+	than bit-whacking that failed under Solaris-Sparc-64. [Bug 1071807]
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Removed unused vars 'pathc'
+	and 'pathv' that caused compilation problems on VC++ with
+	--enable-symbols.
+
+2004-11-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Corrected failure to determine the
+	number of arguments for readdir_r on SunOS systems. [Bug 1071701]
+
+	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.57
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoVarsCmd):	Corrected segfault in new
+	* tests/info.test (info-19.6):	trivial matching branch [Bug 1072654]
+
+2004-11-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tools/man2html.tcl, tools/man2html1.tcl: Update to use Tcl 8.4.
+	* tools/man2html2.tcl: Fix broken .SS handling.
+
+2004-11-23  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Add (commented-out) code to integrate tclConfig.h
+	into the dependency tree and 'make distclean'. [Bug 1068171]
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_AppendResultVA): Remove call to
+	Tcl_GetStringResult to speed up repeated calls to Tcl_AppendResult
+	with the side effect that code that wants to access interp->result
+	should always call Tcl_GetStringResult first. See [Patch 1041072]
+	discussion for more details.
+
+2004-11-22  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2004-11-22  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Purged dead code that used
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):  to extend the "library
+	path". Search path construction for init.tcl is now done within the
+	[tclInit] proc.
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Restored several directories to the search
+	* tests/unixInit.test:	path used to locate init.tcl within [tclInit].
+	This change does not restore any directories to the encoding search
+	path, so should still avoid the price of an unreasonably large number
+	of filesystem accesses during encoding initialization at startup

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

+
+2004-11-18  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES): Applied an improved version of

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

+
+2004-11-16  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclFSEpochOk): There were two code paths via

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

+
+2004-11-12  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	TIP #221 IMPLEMENTATION

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

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

+	[ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2004g.tar.gz]
+
+	* tools/tclZIC.tcl: Updated to be compatible with recent changes in
+	library/clock.tcl.
+
+2004-11-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: Simplify TclpUtime to use Tcl_FSGetNativePath, and
+	add comments.
+
+2004-11-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Change uses of EXTERN to MODULE_SCOPE (defined in
+	this file too to be 'extern' if not overridden) as nothing declared in
+	tclInt.h is supposed to be visible outside the Tcl core. If there *is*
+	anything that extensions are actually using, we can open this up later
+	on. [Patch 1055668]
+
+	* doc/CrtChannel.3 (Tcl_GetChannelMode): Add synopsis. [Bug 1058446]
+
+2004-11-01  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (FromCTime, TclpUtime): Replaced a call to the
+	Posix 'utime' function with calls to Windows-API equivalents, to avoid
+	a bug where the VC++ versions misconvert times across a Daylight
+	Saving Time boundary. [Bug 926106]
+	* win/tclWinInt.h (TclWinProcs):
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (asciiProcs, unicodeProcs): Removed now-unused
+	reference to 'utime'.
+	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-24.12): Added test case for the above bug.
+
+2004-11-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Make INST_EQ and friends
+	handle NaN correctly in all cases. [Bug 761471]
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceInscopeCmd): Make the error message
+	generation the same as in NamespaceEvalCmd().
+	(Tcl_Import): Rationalized to use Tcl_EvalObjv().
+
+2004-10-31  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/io.test (io-40.3): Convert umask2 test constraint into a form
+	that most people will be able to satisfy.
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-8.45): Removed broken test constraint. It
+	didn't do what it was intended to do, and it implied the other correct
+	constraint. [Bug 1053908]
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoGlobalsCmd):
+	* tests/info.test (info-8.4): Strip leading global-namespace
+	specifiers from the pattern argument. [Bug 1057461]
+
+2004-10-30  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/clock.c: Replaced WIN32 macro with __WIN32__. [Bug 1054357].
+	Thanks to David Gravereaux for the patch.
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: Removed a long-standing bug that causes incorrect
+	conversion between file time and UTC time if the file time is recorded
+	in a different Daylight Saving Time status than the current one. [Bug
+	926106]
+
+2004-10-29  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Correct reaction to errors in the
+	obsolete processCmdLineArgsHook.	[Bug 1055673]
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:	Bump to tcltest 2.2.7
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* tests/all.tcl:	Update to use [tcltest::configure].
+
+2004-10-29  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::*): Use the core proc engine to generate
+	the wrong-num-args error messages for the path ensemble.
+
+	Ensembles can now (sometimes) rewrite the error messages of their
+	subcommands so they appear more like the arguments that the user
+	passed to the ensemble. Below is a description of changes involved in
+	doing this.
+
+	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-50.*): Tests of ensemble subcommand
+	error message rewriting.
+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProc): Make procedures implement
+	their wrong-num-args message using Tcl_WrongNumArgs instead of
+	something baked-at-home.
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclIsEnsemble, NsEnsembleImplementationCmd):
+	Added test of ensemble-hood (available to rest of core) and made
+	ensembles set up the rewriting for Tcl_WrongNumArgs to take advantage
+	of.
+	* generic/tclInt.h (Interp.ensembleRewrite): Extra fields.
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs): Add knowledge of what is
+	going on in ensembles' command rewriting so this command can generate
+	the right error message itself.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp, TclEvalObjvInternal): Added
+	code to initialize (as empty) the rewriting fields and reset them when
+	we leak outside an ensemble implementation.
+
+2004-10-28  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_START_CMD):
+	* tests/execute.test (execute-8.3): fix for execution stack corruption
+	[Bug 1055676]. Credit dgp for detective work and fix.
+
+2004-10-27  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/socket.test (socket-13.1):	Balanced [makeFile] and
+	[removeFile] commands.
+
+	* tests/clock.test:	Correct duplicate test names.
+	* tests/namespace.test:
+	* tests/string.test:
+	* tests/io.test (io-50.4):	Use namespace variables.
+
+2004-10-27  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:	  The following 9 functions were moved from
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	  tclInt.h to the private/int Stubs table for
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:  use by the test suite. As tclTest.obj is
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:  linked to the shell, these functions need
+	"blessed" status so as to always be exported from the library. Being
+	placed in the Stubs table guarantees this [Bug 1054748]:
+		TclpObjRemoveDirectory,	TclpObjCopyDirectory,
+		TclpObjCreateDirectory,	TclpObjDeleteFile,
+		TclpObjCopyFile,	TclpObjRenameFile,
+		TclpObjStat,		TclpObjAccess,
+		TclpOpenFileChannel
+
+	* tests/registry.test:	Fixed test files to load the correct
+	* tests/winDde.test:	registry and dde packages by using the info
+	* win/Makefile.in:	from makefiles to tell tcltest where to load
+	* win/makefile.vc:	them from. This avoids grabbing the wrong
+	package from $auto_path which might be the install point rather than
+	the dev location. Kudos to Jennifer Hom for adding -load and
+	-loadfile to the tcltest package. [Bug 926088]
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclFinalizeLock): release the critical section
+	before deleting it. [Bug 731778]
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Removed the file level 'extern "C" {' and the
+	coresponding closing block as it serves no purpose given that all the
+	function prototypes have the proper extern usage already.
+
+	* unix/tclAppInit.c:	When built as tcltest, TclThread_Init was
+	* win/tclAppInit.c:	getting called twice. First by Tcltest_Init,
+	then again in Tcl_AppInit. The call from Tcl_AppInit is now removed.
+
+2004-10-27  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/tm.test:  Expanded on the testsuite entered by Donal.
+	* library/tm.tcl: Even found bugs, these have been corrected.
+
+2004-10-26  Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/format.test (format-19.1): Additional regression test for [Bug
+	868489].
+
+2004-10-27  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/*.n: Many small general documentation fixes.
+
+2004-10-26  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCleanupChildren): bad cast of resolvedPid
+	caused PIDs on win95 to go negative. winpipe-4.2 brought this to the
+	surface. Fixed with sprintf in place of TclFormatInt. Thanks to hgiese
+	[Patch 767676]
+
+2004-10-26  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::Defaults): Added a second [file dirname]
+	around the location of the executable. This fixes [Bug 1038705].
+	Instable of a bogus "foo/bin/lib" we now have the correct "foo/lib" as
+	a base path for modules.
+
+2004-10-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_SubstObj):	Fix for failed subst-12.3 test
+	* tests/subst.test (subst-12.3-5):	More tests for Bug 1036649.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Updated the installation of
+	the http, msgcat, and tcltest packages to install as Tcl Modules on
+	Unix systems. Other platform Makefiles still need updating. [Patch
+	1054370]
+
+	* tests/basic.test:	Added missing constraints.
+	* tests/compile.test:
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:
+
+	* tests/init.test (init-2.8):	Updated to not rely on http package.
+
+2004-10-26  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclVar.c: removed more direct references to the VAR flags,
+	replaced with access macros.
+
+2004-10-26  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/expr.n: Clarified that non-num/non-bool literals require
+	quoting. [Bug 1027849]. Also listed booleans as acceptable values.
+
+2004-10-26  Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl (FreeScan): Fixed a bug that caused relative days
+	of the week in free-form [clock scan] to be evaluated in the wrong
+	time zone.
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-31.[456]): Made sure that there isn't an
+	env(TZ) or env(TCL_TZ) lying around that will override the time zone
+	that we're trying to establish with the simulated registry.
+	Both problems reported as [Bug 1054101].
+
+2004-10-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/string.n (map): Rewrote to clarify that we don't just map single
+	characters. [Bug 1048005]
+	* doc/info.n (procs): Clarified that the pattern argument may have
+	namespace separators in it. [Bug 1047928]
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-8.45): Simplify in the hope that the reasons
+	for [Bug 1053908] will become clearer.
+
+2004-10-25  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (IllegalExprOperandType,TclExecuteByteCode):
+	Removed several DECACHE_INFO/CACHE_INFO pairs that are no longer
+	needed for protection because routines like Tcl_SetErrorCode() and
+	Tcl_AddErrorInfo() can no longer re-enter bytecode execution.
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclProcessReturn): Bug fix. Be sure that a
+	missing -errorinfo option when code == TCL_ERROR causes the errorInfo
+	field to get reset.
+
+	* tests/thread.test (thread-4.4): Test depended on a ::errorInfo value
+	initialized to "". Added code to test to setup that requirement.
+
+	* library/auto.tcl:	Purged Tcl's script library of all
+	* library/clock.tcl:	remaining references to global vars
+	* library/init.tcl:	::errorInfo and ::errorCode.
+
+	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main): Updated to make use of
+	TclGetReturnOptions instead of ::errorInfo variable.
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (tclInit): Bug fix. Access dict variables with
+	[dict get], not array syntax.
+
+2004-10-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/tm.test: Rewrote the tests to actually perform syntax checks
+	on the public API. Added a new test (currently failing) to indicate
+	that the test suite is not complete yet.
+	* library/tm.tcl (path): Rewrote to turn this command into an ensemble
+	to make it faster and simpler.
+
+2004-10-24  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclTrace.c: defined new macros to get/set the flags of
+	variables. The only files that still access the flag values directly
+	are tclCompCmds.c, tclCompile.c, tclProc.c and tclVar.c
+
+2004-10-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_LogCommandInfo,Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo): Shift
+	the initialization of errorCode to NONE to more central location.
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (BgError,Tcl_BackgroundError,HandleBgErrors):
+	Rewrite to build on the new TclGet/SetReturnOptions routines.
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclGetReturnOptions): Add call to
+	Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo to be sure error fields are initialized.
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclTransferResult): Rewrite to build on the new
+	TclGet/SetReturnOptions routines.
+
+2004-10-22  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/tm.n: Tightened up the documentation.
+	* tests/tm.test: Created (with partially dummy content) so TIP#189 can
+	be marked Final.
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NsEnsembleImplementationCmd): Make ensembles
+	cut their implementations out of error traces. This is the right thing
+	to do more often than not.
+
+2004-10-22  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl: Fixed a typo where the fallback time zone became
+	::localtime instead of :localtime. Fixed a bug where time zone names
+	containing hyphens could not be loaded.
+	* tests/clock.test: Added regression test cases that covers both bugs.
+	Thanks to Todd M. Helfter <tmh@jumpgate.itsp.purdue.edu> for finding
+	these bugs.
+
+2004-10-22  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj, Tcl_ExprObj):
+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclProcCompileProc): Always call object
+	freeIntRepProc's in the same way.
+
+2004-10-22  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: fixed bug in commit of 2004-07-23, which was
+	causing a leak of Proc structures and failure of compile-12.1. Two
+	lines were 'zombies' from the previous way localVarNames worked.
+	Credit dgp for finding this.
+
+2004-10-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (Interp):
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp,Tcl_DeleteInterp):
+	* generic/tclResult.c (GetKeys,ReleaseKeys,etc.): Moved the key values
+	of the return options dictionary out of private fields of the Interp
+	struct and into thread-static values managed in tclResult.c.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_CatchObjCmd, Tcl_ErrorObjCmd): Updated to
+	call the new TclGet/SetReturnOptions routines to do much of their
+	work.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclGetReturnOptions,TclSetReturnOptions):
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclGetReturnOptions,TclSetReturnOptions): New
+	utility routines to get/set the return options of an interp. Intent is
+	that these routines will be converted to public routines after TIP
+	approval.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclProcessReturn,TclMergeReturnOptions):
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclProcessReturn,TclMergeReturnOptions): Move
+	internal utility routines from tclCmdMZ.c to tclResult.c.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp, Tcl_DeleteInterp):
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclTransferResult): Rework so that
+	iPtr->returnOpts can be NULL when there are no special options.
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclRestoreInterpState): Plug potential memory
+	leak.
+
+2004-10-21  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Various changes to [clock format] that,
+	* generic/tclClock.c: together, make it roughly twice as fast
+	* generic/tclInt.h:   while all tests in the test suite
+	* library/clock.tcl:  continue to pass.
+
+2004-10-20  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in (install-msgs):   Fixed a problem with the
+	* win/Makefile.in (install-tzdata): installation of timezone data and
+	message catalogs. They used the installed tcl library directory, not
+	the source library. Before it was installed. Switched to source lib
+	dir. Thanks to Kevin for the help in figuring this out.
+
+2004-10-20  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (ThreadEventProc): Corrected subtle bug
+	where the returned (char *) from Tcl_GetStringResult(interp) continued
+	to be used without copying or refcounting, while activity on the
+	interp continued. That's not safe, and recent changes demonstrated the
+	lack of safety with failing tests thread-4.3 and thread-4.5.
+
+2004-10-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictWithCmd): Make sure all paths (that are
+	not themselves error paths) do not lose the result code.
+
+2004-10-19  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (Tcl*InterpState):		New internal routines
+	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl*InterpState):	TclSaveInterpState,
+	TclRestoreInterpState, and TclDiscardInterpState are superior
+	replacements for Tcl_(Save|Restore|Discard)Result. Intent is that
+	these routines will be converted to public routines after TIP
+	approval. Interfaces for these routines were shamelessly stolen from
+	Itcl.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal):
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictUpdateCmd, DictWithCmd):
+	* generic/tclIOGT.c (ExecuteCallback):
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (Trace*Proc,TclCheck*Traces,TclCallVarTraces):
+	Callers of Tcl_*Result updated to call the new routines. The calls
+	were relocated in several cases to perform save/restore operations
+	only when needed.
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors):
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c (CopyRenameOneFile): Calls to Tcl_*Result that
+	were eliminated because they appeared to serve no useful purpose,
+	typically saving/restoring an error message, only to throw it away.
+
+2004-10-18  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp,Tcl_DeleteInterp):
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_CatchObjCmd):

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

+
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-34.*): Removed an antibug that forced

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

+	(Tcl_DictObjNext): Make calling this after Tcl_DictObjDone non-fatal

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

+	EXPR_INITIALIZED. It was set during interp creation and never tested.
+	Whatever purpose it had is in the past.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalObjEx):	Removed the flag bit value

+	the comment to clarify why this is done, and added tests that will

+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclTransferResult): Added safety checks so that

+	* win/tcl.dsp:
+	Continued refactoring of [clock] for TIP 173 changes. Broke the
+	free-form parser apart so that the Bison parser is responsible for
+	only parsing, while clock.tcl handles relative times like "next
+	Thursday", "next January". This change is needed to make timezones
+	other than :localtime and :Etc/UTC work with free-form scanning. This
+	change closes out the issue identified as being "for another day" in
+	my log message of 2004-09-08. The refactored code also eliminates the
+	last known references to TclpStrftime and TclGetDate, so those
+	routines (including compat/strftime.c) have been removed. The
+	refactoring also has the benefit that all storage in the Bison parser
+	is now on the C stack, eliminating any need for mutex protection
+	around [clock scan]. Also, changed the Makefiles so that 'make
+	gendate' is available on Windows as well as Unix.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Removed some grubby
+	* generic/tclObj.c (SetBooleanFromAny):	 work-around code that was
+	needed only because of Bug 868489.
+

+2004-09-22  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

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

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

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

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

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

+
+2004-09-13  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NsEnsembleImplementationCmd): Add token field

+
+2004-09-11  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+

+	1026125].
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-43.1): Added regression test for error
+	return from 'mktime'.
+
+2004-09-11  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CONCAT1): fix for [Bug 1025834]; avoid

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

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

+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek): Make sure wide seeks do not fail to set
+	::errorCode on error. [Bug 1025359]
+
+2004-09-10  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Micro formatting fixes.

+
+2004-09-11  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamespace.c (TclGetNamespaceForQualName): Resolved
+	longstanding inconsistency in the treatment of the TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY
+	flag revealed by testing the 2004-09-09 commits against Itcl.
+	TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY now acts as specified in the pre-function comment,
+	forcing resolution in the passed in context namespace. It has been
+	incorrectly forcing resolution in the interp's current namespace.
+
+2004-09-10  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl: Fixed a bug where %z always put a plus sign on
+	the time zone in :localtime.
+	* tests/clock.test: Added test case for the above bug.
+
+2004-09-10  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CONCAT1): added a peephole optimisation
+	for concatting an empty string. This enables replacing the idiom 'K $x
+	[set x {}]' by '$x[set x {}]' for fastest execution.
+
+2004-09-09  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinConsole.c: Calls to WriteFile and WriteConsoleA changed to
+	WriteConsole for simplicity.
+
+2004-09-09  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_ForgetImport):	Corrected faulty
+
+	* tests/namespace.test: logic that relied exclusively on string
+	matching and failed in the presence of [rename]s. [Bug 560297] Also
+	corrected faulty prevention of [namespace import] cycles. [Bug 1017299]
+
+2004-09-08  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp):	Removed obsolete field
+	for storing the string-based command procedure of built-in commands.
+	We no longer have any string-based built-in commands!
+
+2004-09-08  Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* compat/strftime.c (_conv): Corrected a problem where hour 0 would
+	format as a blank format group with %k.
+	* doc/clock.n: Corrected a buglet in the header information. [Bug
+	1024058]
+	* generic/tclClock.c (TclClockMktimeObjCmd): Fixed a bug where the
+	month was scanned incorrectly in -timezone :localtime.
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-34.*,clock-40.1, clock-41.1): Adjusted the
+	clock-34.* test cases so that the consistency check is performed in
+	:localtime rather than the current time zone. This change allows
+	dealing with issues where the C library has a different idea of DST
+	conversion than Tcl. (Real fix would be to break TclGetDate into
+	separate parser and time converter, and do the time conversion in
+	clock.tcl. That's for another day.) Added regression test case for the
+	bug where month was scanned incorrectly in -timezone :localtime. [Bug
+	1023779] Added regression test case for %k at the zero hour.
+
+2004-09-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: some quoting needed to be removed as it was
+	breaking with VC7. [Bug 1023150]
+
+2004-09-07  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* doc/clock.n: Documented the default -format, and changed references
+	to a (nonexistent) msgcat command to refer to the msgcat package. [Bug
+	1023870]
+	* generic/tclTimer.c: Removed a premature optimisation that attempted
+	to store the assoc data in the client data; the optimisation caused a
+	bug that [after] would overwrite its imports. [Bug 1016167]
+	* library/clock.tcl (InitTZData, ClearCaches): Changed so that the
+	in-memory time zone :UTC (and its aliases) always gets reinitialised,
+	in case tzdata is absent. [Bug 1019537, 1023779]
+	* library/tzdata/*: Regenerated.
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-31.*, clock-39.1): Corrected a problem where
+	the 'system' locale tests fail on a non-English Windows machine. [Bug
+	1023761]. Added a test to make sure that alias time zones load
+	correctly. [Bug 1023779].
+	* tests/timer.test (timer-1.1, timer-2.1): Changed to (one hopes!) be
+	more resilient on an overloaded system, if [after 200] sleeps for 300
+	ms or longer.
+	* tools/tclZIC.tcl (writeLinks): Corrected a problem where alias time
+	zone names were written incorrectly, causing them to fail to load at
+	run time. [Bug 1023779].
+	* win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_GetTime): Eliminated CPUID tests on Win64 -
+	assuming that HAL vendors now do a better job of keeping the
+	performance counters synchronized among CPU's. [Bug 1020445]

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

+
+	* generic/tclIO.c:
+	* generic/tclIO.h:
+	* Not reverting, but #ifdef'ing the changes from May 19, 2004 out of
+	the core. This removes the ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for channel

+	correctly. Thus [SF Tcl Bug 943274] is still fixed if a recent enough
+	version of Expect is used.
+
+	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Added warning about usage of a channel without a

+
+2004-07-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@pliers.activestate.com>
+

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

+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Moved declaration of TclCompEvalObj() from

+
+2004-07-02  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/regcomp.c (stid): correct minor pointer size error
+
+	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): applied TIP #202 patch that
+	* doc/exec.n, tests/exec.test:		 adds 2>@1 as a special case
+	redirection of stderr to the result output.
+
+2004-07-02  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/io.test: Changed several tests to run the event loop rather
+	than just calling [update] periodically, avoiding intermittent
+	failures (usually in io-29.32) that stemmed from unreaped processes on
+	Windows.
+	* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-1.11): Fixed a bug that caused test to
+	fail if the path name of the working directory contained whitespace
+	[Bug 678430]
+
+2004-07-01  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: Added test for [Bug 970529]
+
+2004-07-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* win/README.binary, win/README: Updated references to Tcl and Tk 8.4
+	to point to 8.5 instead. Thanks to Theo Verelst for spotting this.
+	* generic/tcl.h: Added note to help prevent those changes from getting
+	missed in the future.
+
+	* doc/Namespace.3, doc/load.n, doc/Limit.3: Typo fixes and remove
+	duplicate documentation. [Bug 983146]
+
+2004-06-30  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: Minor correction to new fileSystem-9.X tests
+	so that they clean up temporary directories correctly.
+
+2004-06-30  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+	TIP#188 IMPLEMENTATION
+
+	* doc/string.n, tests/string.test:	 Add 'wideinteger' to things

+
+2004-06-29  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c:	Corrected reference counting flaw in recent
+	changes. Thanks to Pat Thoyts. [Bug 981893].
+
+2004-06-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2004-06-29  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* library/safe.tcl: Make sure that the temporary variable is local to

+
+2004-06-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/unixNotfy.test: Modified constraints so that testing with a
+	threaded tclsh (not tcltest) will not hang.
+
+2004-06-23  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: Corrected type casting errors that led
+	to calculation of a negative index value, thus accesses outside the
+	threadStorageCache array, thus memory corruption. Crash observed on
+	Mac OS X platform.
+
+2004-06-23  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+	* generic/tclThread.c: Implements platform independent thread storage
+	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: mechanism and fixes associated bugs on
+	platforms where there is limited thread local storage space
+	(Win98/WinNT4). [Patch 976496]
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: Added thread storage functions to the
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: internal stubs table.

+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tcl.m4:
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/rules.vc:
+	* win/Makefile.in: Modified the unix, VC++, and Cygwin build systems
+	* win/configure: to include the new "tclThreadStorage.c" and the new
+	* win/tcl.m4: USE_THREAD_STORAGE define.
+
+2004-06-23  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/io.test: Added -force to 18.1 and 18.2. This was failing on
+	WinXP.
+
+	* tests/winFCmd.test: Added a cleanup to winFCmd-16.11 to avoid a
+	failure in 16.12.
+
+	* tests/eofchar.data: Added -kb option to ensure a binary checkout to
+	win32 systems. This fixes a failure in io-61.1
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: fix for [Bug 977369] about launching tclsh to
+	generate a tclConfig.sh with the nmake build system
+
+2004-06-23  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/winDde.test (createChildProcess): Added a 200-ms delay (with
+	the event loop live) when shutting down the test DDE server process.
+	With the delay in place, nuisance failures of tests winDde-4.2, -6.5,
+	and -6.6 appear to be much less frequent. [Bug 957449]
+
+2004-06-23  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/*.test: Standardize use of platform constraints.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (GetStackSize, TclpCheckStackSpace):
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpThreadGetStackSize): Added code to check
+	whether the C stack is about to be exceeded, from [Patch 746378] by
+	Joe Mistachkin but with substantial revisions.
+
+2004-06-22  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (NewThreadProc): Fixed broken build on Windows
+	caused by missing TCL_THREAD_CREATE_RETURN.
+
+	* tests/stack.test (stack-3.1): Corrected nuisance error in threaded
+	builds.
+
+2004-06-22  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: [Bug 770053]. See bug report for more information
+	about what it does.
+
+	* tests/unixNotfy.test: rewritten to use tcltest::threadReap to
+	gracefully wait for the test thread to exit. Otherwise we got a race
+	condition with main thread exiting before the test thread. This
+	exposed the long-standing Tcl lib issue with resource
+	garbage-collection on application exit.
+
+2004-06-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (DllMain, _except_dllmain_detach_handler)
+	(TclpCheckStackSpace, _except_checkstackspace_handler)
+	(TclWinCPUID, _except_TclWinCPUID_detach_handler):

+	(_except_makefilechannel_handler):
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, _except_dorenamefile_handler)
+	(DoCopyFile, _except_docopyfile_handler):
+	Rework pushing of exception handler function pointer so that compiling
+	with gcc -O3 works. Remove empty function call to avoid compiler
+	warning. Mark the DllMain function as noinline to avoid compiler error
+	from duplicated asm labels in generated code.
+
+2004-06-21  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (Ptr2Block): Rewrote so as to maximize the
+	chance of detecting and reporting a memory inconsistency without
+	relying on things being consistent. [Bug 975895]
+
+2004-06-18  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/load.test:	Relaxed strictness of error message matching
+	for test load-2.3 so that it will pass on Mac OSX.
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Static TclFindEncodings -> FindEncodings.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Updated TclpFindExecutable() so that failed
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	attempts to find the executable are saved
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:	just as successful finds are. [Patch 966053]
+	* unix/tclUnixTest.c:
+
+2004-06-18  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/winFCmd.test (winFCmd-16.12): Changed test to compute the
+	target directory, so as not to fail if the user's HOME isn't the root.
+
+2004-06-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: autoconf 2.5 fixes in Darwin section.
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57
+
+2004-06-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (localeTable): Added some more locale to encoding
+	mapping info from Jim Huang <jserv@kaffe.org>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (PendingObjData,TclFreeObjMacro,etc):
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclFreeObj): Added scheme for making TclFreeObj()
+	avoid blowing up the C stack when freeing up very large object trees.
+	[Bug 886231]
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (SetDefaultLibraryDir): Fix logic, simplify and add
+	comments.
+
+2004-06-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Added missing space in panic message.
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c:	Inform [tclInit] about the default library
+	directory via the ::tclDefaultLibrary variable. This should correct a
+	problem with my 2004-06-11 commit. Better solutions still in the
+	works. Thanks to Joe Mistachkin for pointing out the breakage.
+
+2004-06-16  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/library.n:	Moved variables ::auto_oldpath and
+	* library/auto.tcl:	::unknown_pending into ::tcl namespace.
+	* library/init.tcl:	[Bugs 808319, 948794]
+
+2004-06-15  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/binary.n: Added some notes to the documentation of the 'a'
+	format to address the point raised in [RFE 768852].
+
+2004-06-15  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclConfig.sh.in (TCL_EXTRA_CFLAGS): set to @CFLAGS@, which is
+	the configure-time CFLAGS. Addendum to m4 change on 2004-05-26.
+
+2004-06-14  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: Corrected compilation flags for tclPkgConfig.c so
+	that it doesn't require Stubs.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Removed comment stating that
+	TclInitEmbeddedConfigurationInformation needs Stubs; with the change
+	above, the comment is now erroneous.
+
+2004-06-11  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/Encoding.3:	Removed bogus claims about tcl_libPath.
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_Init):	Stopped setting the
+	tcl_libPath variable. [tclInit] can get all its directories without it.
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test:	Modified test code that made use of
+	tcl_libPath variable.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	Stopped setting the tclDefaultLibrary variable,
+	execept on the Mac OS X platform with HAVE_CFBUNDLE. In that
+	configuration we should seek some way to make use of the TIP 59
+	facilities and get rid of that usage of tclDefaultLibrary as well.
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Updated [tclInit] to make $env(TCL_LIBRARY) an
+	absolute path, and to include the scriptdir,runtime configuration value
+	on the search path for init.tcl.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	The routines Tcl_Init() and TclSourceRCFile()
+	* win/tclWinInit.c:	had identical implementations for both win and
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	unix. Moved to a single generic implementation.
+	* generic/tclMain.c:
+	* library/init.tcl:
+	* generic/tclInitScript.h (removed):
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* win/tcl.dsp:
+
+	* unix/configure.in:	Updated TCL_PACKAGE_PATH value to handle
+	* win/configure.in:	--libdir configuration.
+
+	* unix/configure.in:	autoconf-2.57
+	* win/configure.in:
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Moved call to
+	TclInitEmbeddedConfigurationInformation() earlier in
+	Tcl_CreateInterp() so that other parts of interp creation and
+	initialization may access and use the config values.
+
+2004-06-11  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c: Restored the 'setargv' procedure when compiling
+	with mingw. Apparently, the command line parsing in mingw doesn't work
+	as well as that in vc++, and the result was (1) that winPipe-8.19
+	failed, and (2) that 'make test' would work at all only with
+	TESTFLAGS='-singleproc 1'. [Bug 967195]
+
+2004-06-10  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed forceful setting of the private cached
+	current working directory rep from within the Tcl_FSChdir(). We
+	delegate this task to the Tcl_FSGetCwd() which does this task anyway.
+	The relevant code is still present but disabled temporarily until the
+	change proves correct. The Tcl test suite passes all test with the
+	given change so I suppose it is good enough.
+
+2004-06-10  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):	Disabled addition of
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):	relative-to-executable
+	directories to the library search path. A first step in reform of
+	Tcl's startup process.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Attempts to directly run ./tclsh or ./tcltest out of a build directory
+	will either fail, or will make use of an installed script library in
+	preference to the one in the source tree. Use `make shell` or `make
+	runtest` instead.
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test:	Modified tests to suit above changes.
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c:	Corrected [file tail] results when operating
+	on a path produced by TclNewFSPathObj(). [Bug 970529]
+
+2004-06-09  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: partially corrected [Bug 932314]. Also
+	corrected return values of Tcl_FSChdir() to reflect those of the
+	underlying platform-specific call. Originally, return codes were mixed
+	with those of Tcl.
+
+2004-06-08  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: handle warning [Bug 969066]
+
+2004-06-08  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (RebuildTable): Move declaration of variable so it

+
+2004-06-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/lsearch.n: Added correct option to example. [Bug 968219]
+
+2004-06-05  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Corrected Tcl_WideInt declarations so that the mingw
+	build works again.
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:			Changes to the tests for clock
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:			frequency in Tcl_WinTime so
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:		that any clock frequency is
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:		accepted provided that all
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:		CPU's in the system share a
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:		common chip, and hence,
+	* tests/platform.test (platform-1.3):	presumably, a common clock.
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclWinCPUID):	This change necessitated a
+	* win/tclWinTest.c (TestwincpuidCmd)	small burst of assembly code
+	* win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_GetTime):	to read CPU ID information,
+	which was added as TclWinCPUID in the internal Stubs. To test this
+	code in the common case of a single-processor machine, a
+	'testwincpuid' command was added to tclWinTest.c, and a test case in
+	platform.test. Thanks to Jeff Godfrey and Richard Suchenwirth for
+	reporting this bug. [Bug 976722]
+
+2004-06-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Restored #include <stdio.h> to tcl.h,
+	rejecting the "fix" for "Bug" 945570. Tcl_FSSeek() needs the values of
+	SEEK_SET, etc. and too many extensions rely on tcl.h providing stdio.h
+	for them.
+
+2004-06-02  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpFindExecutable): when using GetModuleFileNameA
+	(Win9x), convert from CP_ACP to WCHAR then convert back to utf8.
+	Adjunct to 2004-04-07 fix.
+
+2004-06-02  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-6.1): blocking set to 1 before closing
+	to ensure we get an exitcode. The windows pipe channel driver doesn't
+	differentiate between a blocking and non-blocking close just yet, but
+	will soon. Part of [Bug 947693]
+
+2004-06-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/file.n: fix to documentation of 'file volumes' (Bug 962435)
+
+2004-06-01  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: check for either MSDEVDIR or MSVCDIR being in the
+	environment, for VC7. [Bug 942214]
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelOption): -buffersize wasn't
+	understanding hexidecimal notation nor was reporting number conversion
+	errors. The behavior to silently ignore settings outside the
+	acceptable range of Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize (<10 or >1M) is
+	unchanged. This silent ignoring behavior might be up for review soon.
+
+2004-05-30  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:  Reworked the win implementation of Tcl_WaitPid to
+	support exitcodes in the 'signed short' range. Even though this range
+	is non-portable, it is valid on windows. Detection of exception codes
+	are now more accurate. Previously, an application that exited with
+	ExitProcess((DWORD)-1); was improperly reported as exiting with
+	SIGABRT.
+
+2004-05-30  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c: Added comments describing the purposes of each
+	function in the limit implementation and rewrote the names of some
+	non-public functions for greater clarity of purpose.
+	* doc/interp.n: Added note about what happens when a limited
+	interpreter creates a slave interpreter.
+	* doc/Limit.3: Added manual page for the resource limit subsystem's C
+	API. [Bug 953903]
+
+2004-05-29  Joe English	 <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/global.n, doc/interp.n, doc/lrange.n: Fix minor markup errors.
+
+2004-05-28  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/*.n: Added examples to many (too many to list) more man pages.
+
+2004-05-25  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* generic/tclVar.c: using (ptrdiff_t) instead of (int) casting to
+	correct compiler warnings [Bug 961657], reported by Bob Techentin.
+
+2004-05-27  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/clock.test: Added a single test for the presence of %G in
+	[clock format], and conditioned out the clock-10.x series if they're
+	all going to fail because of a broken strftime() call. [Bug 961714]
+
+2004-05-27  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (CompareStringKeys): Added #ifdef to allow people
+	to instruct this function to use strcmp(). [FRQ 951168]
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Moved declarations into #if guards so they only
+	happen when required.
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: Guard declaration of strtod() so it is only
+	enabled when we don't have a declaration in stdlib.h
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread):	Added declarations
+	* unix/tclUnixTest.c (AlarmHandler):		and casts so that
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyModemStatusStr):	all functions are
+	* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd):		defined before use
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (InvalidateDictChain):	and no cross-type
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd):	uses are performed.
+
+	The overall effect is to make building with gcc with the additional
+	flags -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes produce no increase in
+	the total number of warnings (except for main(), which is undeclared
+	for traditional reasons.)
+
+2004-05-26  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:  Rework configure ordering to TCL_LINK_LIBS,
+	* unix/tcl.m4:	     ENABLE_SHARED, CONFIG_CFLAGS, & ENABLE_SYMBOLS
+	* unix/configure:    before TCL_EARLY_FLAGS and TCL_64BIT_FLAGS
+	* unix/configure.in: (about 400 lines earlier) in configure.in. This
+	forces CFLAGS configuration to be done before many tests, which is
+	needed for 64-bit builds and may affect other builds. Also make
+	CONFIG_CFLAGS append to CFLAGS directly instead of using EXTRA_CFLAGS,
+	and have LDFLAGS append to any existing value. [Bug 874058]
+	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: change EXTRA_CFLAGS to DEFS
+
+2004-05-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Correction to debug prints and testing
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:	if TCLTEST_OPTIONS value. Corrected
+	* tests/tcltest.test:		double increment of numTestFiles in
+	-singleproc 1 configurations. Updated tcltest-19.1 to tcltest 2.1
+	behavior. Corrected tcltest-25.3 to not falsely report a failure in
+	tcltest.test. Bumped to tcltest 2.2.6. [Bugs 960560, 960926]
+
+2004-05-25  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* doc/http.n (http::config): add -urlencoding option (default utf-8)
+	* library/http/http.tcl:     that specifies encoding conversion of
+	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: args for http::formatQuery. Previously
+	* tests/http.test:	     undefined, RFC 2718 says it should be
+	utf-8. 'http::config -urlencoding {}' returns previous behavior, which
+	will throw errors processing non-latin-1 chars. Bumped http package to
+	2.5.0.
+
+2004-05-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (DeleteScriptLimitCallback): Move all deletion
+	of script callback hash table entries to happen here so the entries
+	are correctly removed at the right time. [Bug 960410]
+
+2004-05-25  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* docs/global.n: added details for qualified variable names [Bug
+	959831]
+
+2004-05-25  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindNamespaceVar):
+	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-17.10-12): reverted commit of
+	2004-05-23 and removed the tests, as it interferes with the varname
+	resolver and there are apps that break (AlphaTk). A fix will have to
+	wait for Tcl9.
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Caching of namespace variables disabled: no simple
+	way was found to avoid interfering with the resolver's idea of
+	variable existence. A cached varName may keep a variable's name in the
+	namespace's hash table, which is the resolver's criterion for
+	existence.
+
+	* tests/namespace.c (namespace-17.10): testing for interference
+	between varname caching and name resolver.
+
+2004-05-25  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/winFCmd.test: Correct test for the presence of a CD-ROM so
+	that it doesn't misdetect some other sort of filesystem with a
+	write-protected root as being a CD-ROM drive. [Bug 918267]
+
+2004-05-25  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/winPipe.test:	Protect against path being set
+	* tests/unixInit.test:	Unset path when done.
+	* tests/unload.test (unload-3.1): Verify [pkgb_sub] does not exist.
+	Delete interps when done.
+	* tests/stringComp.test:	stop re-use of string.test test names
+	* tests/regexpComp.test:	stop re-use of regexp.test test names
+	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-46.3): Verify [p] does not exist.
+	* tests/http.test:	Clear away the custom [bgerror] when done.
+	* tests/io.test:	Take care to use namespace variables.
+	* tests/autoMkindex.test (autoMkindex-5.2): Use variable "result"
+	that gets cleaned up.
+	* tests/exec.test:	Clean up the "path" array.
+	* tests/interp.test (interp-9.3): Initialize res, so prior values
+	cannot make the test fail.
+	* tests/execute.test (execute-8.1):  Updated to remove the trace set
+	on ::errorInfo. When left in place, that trace can cause later tests
+	to fail.
+
+2004-05-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Removed references to Tcl_RenameCommand from
+	* generic/tcl.h:      comments. [Bug 848440, second part]
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test: Rewrote tests that failed consistently on NFS so
+	they either succeed (through slightly more liberal matching of the
+	results) or are constrained to not run. [Bug 931312]
+
+	* doc/bgerror.n: Use idiomatic open flags for working with log
+	files. [Bug 959602]
+
+2004-05-24  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (VerifyExprObjType): use GET_WIDE_OR_INT to
+	properly have tclIntType used for smaller values. This corrects [TclX
+	Bug 896727] and any other 3rd party extension that created math
+	functions but was not yet WIDE_INT aware in them.
+
+2004-05-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (TclInitLimitSupport): Made limits work on
+	platforms where sizeof(void*)!=sizeof(int). [Bug 959193]
+
+2004-05-24 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/set.n: accurate description of name resolution process,
+	referring to namespace.n for details [Bug 959180]
+
+2004-05-23  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindNamespaceVar): [Bug 959052] fixed,
+	insuring that no "zombie" variables are found.
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupSimpleVar): comments re [Bug 736729]
+	(predecessor of [Bug 959052]) removed.
+	* tests/namespace.test: added tests 17.10-12
+
+	The patch modifies non-documented behaviour, and passes every test in
+	the testsuite. However, scripts relying on the old behaviour may
+	break.
+	Note that the only behaviour change concerns the creative writing of
+	unset variables. More precisely, which variable will be created when
+	neither a namespace variable nor a global variable by that name
+	exists, as defined by [info vars]. The new behaviour is that the
+	namespace resolution process deems a variable to exist exactly when
+	[info vars] finds it - ie, either it has value, or else it was "fixed"
+	by a call to [variable].
+	Note: this patch was removed on 2002-05-25.
+
+2004-05-22  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclObjLookupVar, TclObjUnsetVar2): fix for new (in
+	tcl8.4) exteriorisations of [Bug 736729] due to the use of
+	tclNsVarNameType obj types. Reenabling the use of this objType ("VAR
+	ref absolute" benchmark down to 66 ms, from 230). Added comments in
+	TclLookupSimpleVar explaining my current understanding of [Bug
+	736729].
+
+2004-05-22  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: fix for [Bug 735335]. The use of tclNsVarNameType
+	objs is still disabled, pending resolution of [Bug 736729].
+
+2004-05-21  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-41.3): removed the {knownBug}
+	constraint: [Bug 231259] is closed since nov 2001, and the fix of [Bug
+	729692] (INST_START_CMD) makes the test succeed.
+
+2004-05-21  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Move a few declarations a
+	short distance so pre-C99 compilers can cope. Also fix so
+	TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG path compiles...
+
+2004-05-21  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): reorganised TEBC
+	automatic variables, defining them in tight blocks instead of at the
+	function level. This has three purposes:
+	- it simplifies the analysis of individual instructions
+	- it is preliminary work to the non-recursive engine
+	- it allows a better register allocation by the optimiser; under
+	gcc3.3, this results in up to 10% runtime in some tests
+
+2004-05-20  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (TclLimitRemoveAllHandlers):
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc):
+	* tests/interp.test (interp-34.7): Ensure that all limit callbacks are
+	deleted when their interpreters are deleted. [Bug 956083]
+
+2004-05-19  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): fix for an issue where
+	there was a sneak path from Tcl_DStringFree to SetErrorCode(0). The
+	result was that the error code could be reset between a call to
+	FindFirstFileEx and the check of its status return, leading to a
+	bizarre error return of {POSIX unknown {No error}}. (Found in
+	unplanned test - no incident logged at SourceForge.)
+
+2004-05-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/interp.test (interp-34.3): Rewrite this test to see if a time
+	limit can catch a tight bytecode loop, a maximally aggressive
+	denial-of-service attack.
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_LimitCheck): Fix the sense of checks to see
+	whether a time limit has been extended.
+
+	* tests/*.test: Many minor fixes, including ensuring that every test
+	is run (so constraints control whether the test is doing anything) and
+	making sure that constraints are always set using the API instead of
+	poking around inside tcltest's internal datastructures. Also got rid
+	of all trailing whitespace lines from the test suite!
+
+2004-05-19  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c: Fixed [SF Tcl Bug 943274]. This is the same problem
+	* generic/tclIO.h: as [SF Tcl Bug 462317], see ChangeLog entry
+	2001-09-26. The fix done at that time is incomplete. It is possible to
+	get around it if the actual read operation is defered and not executed
+	in the event handler itself. Instead of tracking if we are in an read
+	caused by a synthesized fileevent we now track if the OS has delivered
+	a true event = actual data and bypass the driver if a read finds that
+	there is no actual data waiting. The flag is cleared by a short or
+	full read.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for channel drivers.
+
+2004-05-17  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to (Bug 956063) in 'file dirname'.
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: added test for this bug.
+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: better documentation of refCount requirements of
+	some FS functions (Bug 956126)
+
+2004-05-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c (TestgetintCmd): Made the tests in get.test check
+	* tests/get.test:		     Tcl_GetInt() since the core now
+					     avoids that function.
+
+2004-05-18  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* compat/strftime.c (_fmt, ISO8601Week):
+	* doc/clock.n:
+	* tests/clock.test: Major rework to the handling of ISO8601 week
+	numbers. Now passes all the %G and %V test cases on Windows, Linux and
+	Solaris [Bugs 500285, 500389, and 852944]
+
+2004-05-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/append.n, doc/upvar.n: Added example.
+
+2004-05-18  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: now generates a tclConfig.sh from Pat Thoyts [Patch
+	909911]
+
+2004-05-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/lsearch.n: Improve clarity (based on [Patch 955361] by Peter
+	Spjuth)
+
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl (macro,SHmacro): Added support for subsection
+	(.SS) header macros.
+
+	* doc/interp.n: Added user documentation for the TIP#143 resource
+	limits and some examples.
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_LimitCheck, Tcl_LimitTypeReset): Reset the
+	limit-exceeded flag when removing a limit.
+
+2004-05-18  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): added comments to
+	classify the variables according to their use in TEBC.
+
+2004-05-17  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/global.n, doc/uplevel.n: Added an example.
+
+	* tests/info.test (info-3.1): Corrected test result back to what it
+	used to be in Tcl 7.* now that command counts are being correctly kept
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC:INST_START_CMD): Make sure that the
+	command-count is always advanced. Allows TIP#143 limits to tell that
+	work is being done.
+
+	* doc/list.n: Updated example to fit with the unified format.
+	* doc/seek.n: Added some examples.
+
+2004-05-17  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: fix to (Bug 954263) where 'file executable' was
+	case-sensitive.
+
+2004-05-17  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Documented type of 'offset' argument to Tcl_Seek
+	was wrong. [Bug 953374]
+
+2004-05-16  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): remove one level of
+	indirection for compiledLocals addressing.
+
+2004-05-16  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CALL_FUNC1): bugfix; restored
+	(DE)CACHE_STACK_INFO pair around the call - the user defined math
+	function could cause a recursive call to TEBC.
+
+2004-05-16  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteInterp):
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_START_CMD): interp deletion now modifies
+	the compileEpoch, eliminating the need for the check for interp
+	deletion in INST_START_CMD.
+
+2004-05-16  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: changed implementation of {expand}, last
+	chance while in alpha as ...
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Scripts precompiled with ProComp under previous tcl8.5a versions may
+	malfunction due to changed instruction numbers for
+	INST_LIST_INDEX_IMM, INST_LIST_RANGE_IMM and INST_START_CMD.
+
+2004-05-14  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:	     Promoted TclpLocaltime and TclpGmtime
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:     from Unix-specific stubs to the generic
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: internal Stubs table. Reran 'genstubs'
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c: Changed a buggy 'GMT' timezone specification
+			      to the correct 'GMT0'. [Bug 922848]
+
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Moved TclpGmtime and TclpLocaltime to
+			      unix/tclUnixTime.c where they belong.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (TclpGmtime, TclpLocaltime, TclpGetTimeZone,
+			      ThreadSafeGMTime [removed],
+			      ThreadSafeLocalTime [removed],
+			      SetTZIfNecessary, CleanupMemory):
+	Restructured to make sure that the same mutex protects all calls to
+	localtime, gmtime, and tzset. Added a check in front of those calls to
+	make sure that the TZ env var hasn't changed since the last call to
+	tzset, and repeat tzset if necessary. [Bug 942078] Removed a buggy
+	test of the Daylight Saving Time information in 'gettimeofday' in
+	favor of applying 'localtime' to a known value. [Bug 922848]
+
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-3.14): Added test to make sure that changes
+	to $env(TZ) take effect immediately.
+
+	* win/tclWinTime.c (TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime): Added porting layer
+	for 'localtime' and 'gmtime' calls.
+
+2004-05-14  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: the math functions receive a pointer to top of
+	the stack (tosPtr) instead of the execution environment (eePtr). First
+	step towards a change in the execution stack management - it is now
+	only used within TEBC.
+
+2004-05-13  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	TIP#143 IMPLEMENTATION
+

+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* tests/interp.test: Basic tests of command limits.
+
+	* doc/binary.n:		TIP#129 IMPLEMENTATION [Patch 858211]
+	* generic/tclBinary.c:	Note that the test suite probably has many more
+	* tests/binary.test:	failures now due to alterations in constraints.
+
+2004-05-12  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	Optimisations for INST_START_CMD [Bug 926164].
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): avoid emitting
+	INST_START_CMD as the first instruction in a bytecoded Tcl_Obj. It is
+	not needed, as the checks are done before calling TEBC.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peephole
+	optimisation: check at INST_POP if the next instruction is
+	INST_START_CMD, in which case we fall through.
+
+2004-05-11  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+

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

+	to the scan command.
+
+2004-05-10  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/scan.n: Added examples.
+
+2004-05-10  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Moved non-obvious appending
+	logic to outside the loop and added commentary for its purpose. Also
+	use the existence of contents in the linePtr rather than the scratch
+	DString post the append, as this more clear.
+
+	(TclpCreateProcess): When under NT, with no console, and executing a
+	DOS application, the path priming does not need an ending space as
+	BuildCommandLine() will do this for us.
+
+2004-05-08  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c:
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: remove some compiler warnings on MacOS X.
+
+2004-05-07  Chengye Mao <chengye.geo@yahoo.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c: refixed bug 789040 re-entered in rev 1.41. Let's

+
+2004-05-08  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+
+2004-05-07  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+

+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c:
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* generic/tclFileSystem.h:
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: fix for [Bug 943995], in which vfs-registered
+	root volumes were not handled correctly as glob patterns in all

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

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

+2004-05-03  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: reverted fix for [Bug 926445] of 2004-04-02,

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

+
+2004-04-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TclpObjNormalizePath):  Corrected improper

+
+2004-04-26  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/open.n, doc/close.n: Updated (thanks to David Welton) to be
+	clearer about pipeline errors and added example to open(n) that shows
+	simple pipeline use. [Patches 941377,941380]
+
+	* doc/DictObj.3: Added warning about the use of Tcl_DictObjDone and an
+	example of use of iteration. [Bug 940843]
+
+	* doc/Thread.3: Reworked to remove references to testing interfaces
+	and instead promote the use of the Thread package. [Patch 932527]
+	Also reworked and reordered the page for better readability.
+
+2004-04-25  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Removed obsolete declarations and #include's.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	[Bugs 926459, 926486]
+
+2004-04-24  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (DllMain): Added DisableThreadLibraryCalls() for
+	the DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH case. We're not interested in knowing about
+	DLL_THREAD_ATTACH, so disable the notices.
+
+2004-04-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPort.h:
+	* macosx/Makefile:
+	* unix/Makefile.in: followup on tcl header reform [FR 922727]: removed
+	use of relative #include paths in tclPort.h to allow installation of
+	private headers outside of tcl source tree; added 'unix' dir to
+	compiler header search path; add newly required tcl private headers to
+	Tcl.framework on Mac OSX.
+
+2004-04-23  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelOption): Fixed [SF Tcl Bug 930851].
+	When changing the eofchar we have to zap the related flags to prevent
+	them from prematurely aborting the next read.
+
+2004-04-25  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 940281]. Tcl_FSJoinPath will now
+	always return a valid Tcl_Obj when the input is valid.
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to [Bug 931823] for a more consistent
+	Tcl_FSPathSeparator() implementation which allows filesystems not to
+	implement their Tcl_FSFilesystemSeparatorProc if they wish to use the
+	default '/'. Also fixed associated memory leak seen with, e.g., tclvfs
+	package.
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: documented Tcl_FSJoinPath return values more
+	clearly, and Tcl_FSFilesystemSeparatorProc requirements.
+
+2004-04-23  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Removed my mistake from 4/19 of adding an exit
+	handler to TclWinInit. TclWinEncodingsCleanup called from
+	TclFinalizeFilesystem does the Tcl_FreeEncoding for us.
+
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel): Case for CloseHandle
+	returning zero and not throwing a
+	RaiseException(EXCEPTION_INVALID_HANDLE) now being done.
+
+2004-04-22  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c: TclSetLibraryPath's use of caching the stringrep
+	of the pathPtr object to TclGetLibraryPath called from another thread
+	was ineffective if the original's stringrep had been invalidated as
+	what happens when it gets muted to a list.
+
+	* win/tclWinTime.c: If the Tcl_ExitProc (StopCalibration) is called
+	from the stack frame of DllMain's PROCESS_DETACH, the wait operation
+	should timeout and continue.

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

+2004-04-22  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/switch.n: Reworked the examples to be more systematically named
+	and to cover some TIP#75 capabilities.
+
+	* doc/cd.n: Documentation clarification from David Welton.
+
+	* doc/exec.n: Added some examples, Windows ones from Arjen Markus and
+	Unix ones by myself.
+
+2004-04-21  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/Hash.3: Added note to Tcl_{First,Next}HashEntry docs that
+	deleting the element they return is supported (and is in fact the only
+	safe update you can do to the structure of a hashtable while an
+	iteration is going over it.)
+
+	* doc/bgerror.n: Added example from David Welton. [Patch 939473]
+
+	* doc/after.n: Added examples from David Welton. [Patch 938820]
+
+2004-04-19  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Added an exit handler in TclWinInit() so
+	tclWinTCharEncoding could be freed during Tcl_Finalize().
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Added FreeEncoding(systemEncoding) in
+	TclFinalizeEncodingSubsystem because its ref count was incremented in
+	TclInitEncodingSubsystem.
+
+2004-04-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+2004-04-19  Kevin B. Kenny   <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetDoubleFromObj) Corrected "short circuit"

+	Chat.
+
+2004-04-16  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

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

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

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

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

+2004-03-16  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/file.n: *roff formatting fix. [Bug 917171]
+
+2004-03-15  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinNotify.c: Fixed a mistake where the return value of
+	MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx for "a message is in the queue" wasn't
+	accurate. I removed the check on the case result==(WAIT_OBJECT_0 + 1)
+	This was having the error of falling into GetMessage and waiting there
+	by accident, which wasn't alertable through Tcl_AlertNotifier. I'll do
+	some more study on this and try to find-out why.
+
+2004-03-12  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#163
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictMergeCmd):	This is based on work by Joe
+	* tests/dict.test (dict-20.*):		English in Tcl [FRQ 745851]
+	* doc/dict.n:				but not exactly.
+
+2004-03-10  Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclGetDate.y (TclGetDate): Fix so that [clock scan
+	<timeOfDay> -gmt true] uses the GMT base date instead of the local
+	one. [Bug 913513]
+	* tests/clock.test: Added test cases for wrong ISO8601 week number
+	[Bug 500285] and wrong GMT base date [Bug 913513]. Several tests still
+	fail on Windows, and these are actual faults in [clock scan]. Fix is
+	still pending.
+	* generic/tclDate.c: Regenerated.
+
+2004-03-08  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c:  Fix to 'glob -path' near the root
+	* tests/fileName.test:	  of the filesystem. [Bug 910525]
+
+2004-03-08  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (TclParseInit):	Modified TclParseInit so
+	* generic/tclTest.c ([testexprparser]): that Tcl_Parse initialization
+	conforms to documented promised about what fields will not be
+	modified by what Tcl_Parse* routines. [Bug 910595]
+
+2004-03-05  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Check for define of MWMO_ALERTABLE in winuser.h.
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: If MWMO_ALERTABLE is not defined in winuser.h then
+	define it. This is needed for Mingw.
+
+2004-03-05  Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c: Modified TesteventObjCmd to use a
+	Tcl_QueuePosition in place of an 'int' for the enumerated queue
+	position, to avoid a compiler warning on SGI. [Bug 771960]
+
+2004-03-05  Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/registry.test: Applied fix from [Patch 910174] to make the test
+	for an English-language system include any country code, rather than
+	just English-United States.1252. Thanks to Pat Thoyts for the changes.
+
+2004-03-04  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/registry.test: Applied fixed from [Bug 766159] to skip two
+	tests on Win98 that depend on a Unicode registry (NT specific).
+
+2004-03-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclParseInit):	Factored the common code
+	* generic/tclParse.c (TclParseInit):	for initializing a Tcl_Parse
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:		struct into one routine.
+
+2004-03-04  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl:  Added TIP #100 support to the
+	* win/tclWinReg.c:	     registry package [patch 903831]
+	This provides a Windows test of the TIP #100 mechanism and a sample to
+	show how unloading an extension can be done.
+
+2004-03-04  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/dltest/pkgua.c: Fix minor syntax problems. [Bug 909288]
+
+2004-03-03  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	*** 8.5a1 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+	* changes: updated for 8.5a1
+
+2004-03-03  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: default environment variable for VC++ is %MSDevDir%
+	not %MSVCDir%, although vcvars32.bat sets both.
+
+	* win/tclWinNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent) : Allows an idling notifier to
+	service "Asynchronous Procedure Calls" from its wait state. Only
+	useful for extension authors who decide they might want to try
+	"completion routines" with WriteFileEx(), as an example. From
+	experience, I recommend that "completion ports" should be used instead
+	as the execution of the callbacks are more managable.
+
+2004-03-01  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+	IRIX64-6.5* systems. [Bug 218561]
+	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.57
+
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TclCheckInterpTraces):	The TIP 62
+	* generic/tclTest.c (TestcmdtraceCmd):	implementation introduced a
+	* tests/trace.test (trace-29.10):	bug by testing the CallFrame
+	level instead of the iPtr->numLevels level when deciding what traces
+	created by Tcl_Create(Obj)Trace to call. Added test to expose the
+	error, and made fix. [FRQ 462580]
+
+2004-02-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: fix to Tcl Bug 905163.
+	* tests/fileName.test: fix to Tcl Bug 904705.
+
+	* doc/{various}.n: removed 'the the' typos.
+
+2004-02-26  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2004-02-25  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

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

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

+2005-12-30  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclStubLib.c: Corrected a typo in "missing Stubs table
+	pointer."
+
+2005-12-27  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:  Destubbed TclTomMathInitializeStubs - it is in
+	* generic/tcl.h:      the stub library, not the main shared
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: library. Exported Tcl_InitBignumFromDouble.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubLib.c:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regenerated.
+
+	* generic/clock.tcl: Reverted to using the time zone abbreviation and
+	not its name to "stop the bleeding" on [Bug 1386377]. This is *not* a
+	good long-term solution, but there may not be one.
+
+	* libtommath/bn_mp_sqrt.c: Improved the initial approximation to the
+	square root, roughly doubling the speed of the routine. (This is a
+	local change that needs to be communicated to Tom.)
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: Corrected a bug where tommath_class.h and
+	tommath_superclass.h were not installed, making it impossible for
+	client code to compile against the tommath stubs.
+
+	* library/tzdata: Updated to Olson's tzdata2005r. (Latest changes to
+	Daylight Saving Time in Canada, plus redefinition of the Posix-style
+	zones [e.g., EST5EDT] to be locale-independent.)
+
+	* libtommath: Updated to Tom St.Denis's release 0.37.
+
+2005-12-20  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (Tcl_GetMemoryInfo): Format values as longs
+	and not ints, so they are less likely to wrap on 64-bit machines.
+
+2005-12-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	Modified [string is double] to use
+	* tests/string.test:	TclParseNumber() to parse trailing whitespace.
+	Ensures consistency, and makes it easier to cleanup after invalid
+	internal reps left behind by parsing [Bugs 1360532 1382287].
+
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Added TCL_PARSE_NO_WHITESPACE to
+	* generic/tclScan.c:	TclParseNumber() calls since [scan] and [expr]
+	* tests/scan.test:	parsing don't want spaces in parsed numbers.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Added TCL_PARSE_NO_WHITESPACE flag to the
+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	TclParseNumber() interface.
+
+2005-12-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/Tcl.n: Clarify what is going on in variable substitution
+	following thread on comp.lang.tcl.
+
+2005-12-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictCmd): Ensure that we only do an
+	'endCatch' when there's a preceding 'beginCatch'. [Bug 1382528] Many
+	thanks to Anton Kovalenko for finding this and pointing out that it was
+	a catch stack handling problem!
+
+2005-12-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: workaround gcc warning "comparison is always
+	* generic/tclTest.c:   false due to limited range of data type".

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

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

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:   table to represent the 'libtommath' routines
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:   that Tcl uses and export them to callers.

+2005-12-13  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC:DICT_FIRST,DICT_DONE): Only decrease the
+	references to the dictionary once the iteration completes. Do this by
+	storing the dict in the iterator context variable. [Bug 1379349] Thanks
+	to Ulrich Ring and Tobias Hippler for finding this.
+
+2005-12-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+

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

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

+	* generic/tclTrace.c:
+	* generic/tclVar.c:
+	* generic/tommath.h:
+	* tools/fix_tommath_h.tcl:
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: ensure externally visible symbols not contained
+	in stubs table are declared as MODULE_SCOPE (or as static if not used
+	outside of own source file). These changes allow 'make checkstubs' to
+	complete without error on Darwin with gcc 4.
+
+	* generic/rege_dfa.c (getvacant):
+	* generic/regexec.c (cfind):
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (CompileSubExpr):
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceEnsembleCmd):
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclUnixWaitForFile): initialise variables to
+	silence gcc 4 warnings.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): fix unused variable
+	warning when NO_WIDE_TYPE is defined.
+
+	* generic/regguts.h: only #define NDEBUG if not already #defined.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: sync whitespace & comments.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: remove declaration of obsolete&unused TclpMutex
+	API.
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: regen.
+
+2005-11-21  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Updated Makefile to new
+	* win/Makefile.in (install-libraries):  version of the http package.
+	This fixes the ifneeded/provide mismatch reported when trying to
+	require http. Should we maybe try to automatically extract the version
+	number from the http code to prevent future breakage ?
+
+	This follows the update of the version number by dgp on Nov 15 (No
+	entry found in the ChangeLog).
+
+2005-11-20  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStubLib.c: Don't set tclStubsPtr to 0 when
+	Tcl_PkgRequireEx() fails [Fix for [Bug 1091431] "Tcl_InitStubs failure
+	crashes wish"]
+
+2005-11-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/trace.test (trace-34.5): [Bug 1047286], added a second test
+	illustrating the role of "ns in callStack" in the ns's visibility
+	during deletion traces.
+
+2005-11-18  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* doc/clock.n: Restored several missing lines near the %w format group
+	so that %w and %W are documented with their actual behaviour. [Bug
+	1359183]
+
+2005-11-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): preserve statePtr until we
+	retrieve the next statePtr from it.
+
+2005-11-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (GetBignumFromObj): replace NULL with
+	tclEmptyStringRep to stop memcpy from complaining in a debug build
+	(the corresponding branch is eliminated by the optimiser otherwise).
+
+2005-11-18  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): Applied Pat Thoyts' patch
+	for [Bug 1359094]. This moves the retrieval of the next channel state
+	to the end of the loop, as the called closeproc may close other
+	channels, i.e. modify the list we are iterating, invalidating any
+	pointer retrieved earlier.
+
+2005-11-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclListObj.c:	Restored the SetListFromAny routine to the
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	"list" Tcl_ObjType, and restored the
+	Tcl_RegisterObjType() call for "list". This addresses the needs of some
+	"bridge" extensions to examine whether the Tcl_ObjType of a Tcl_Obj is
+	that of the "list" Tcl_ObjType.
+
+2005-11-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): Improved syntactic validation
+	of URLs, and better error messages in some cases. [Bug 1358369]
+
+2005-11-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/namespace.test: fix comment
+
+2005-11-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	More data in the "can't happen" Tcl_Panic to
+	aid debugging.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (CallCommandTraces): Save/restore the interp

+
+2005-11-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
+	* tests/namespace.test: fix for [Bug 1354540] and [Bug 1355942]. The
+	new tests 7.3-6 and the modified 51.13 fail due to the unrelated [Bug
+	1355342]
+
+	* tests/trace.test: added tests 20.13-16 for [Bug 1355342]
+
+2005-11-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken):
+	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetCommandFromObj): more partial fixes for
+	[Bug 1354540] - making sure that cached references to a command being

+
+2005-11-12  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindCommand): Do not find commands in dead
+	namespaces on the path. Partial fix for [Bug 1354540].
+
+2005-11-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Revised TclParseNumber interface to enable
+	* generic/tclScan.c:	revision to the [scan] command implementation
+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	to permit tests scan-4.44,55 to pass again.
+	[Bug 1348067].
+
+2005-11-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken):
+	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetCommandFromObj): bump the cmd epoch early
+	to insure that cached references to this command are invalidated.
+	Partial fix for [Bug 1352734] - at least insures that namespace-51.13
+	does not cause a panic. The test is still marked as knownbug, pending
+	resolution of what is actually the correct return value ([Bug
+	1354540])
+
+2005-11-09  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclTimer.c: Changed [after] so that it behaves correctly
+	* tests/timer.test:   with negative arguments [Bug 1350293] and
+	arguments that overflow a 32-bit word. [Bug 1350291]
+
+2005-11-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/compile.test:	Updated tests with changed behavior

+	* tests/expr-old.test:
+	* tests/expr.test:
+	* tests/parseExpr.test:

+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (MAX_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): reduce to 130
+	based on errors seen on OS X 10.3 with lots of links in a dir.
+	[Bug 1034337 followup]
+
+2005-11-09  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in (gdb-test): Added a new target to make it easier to
+	run the test suite inside a debugger.
+
+2005-11-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/compExpr-old.test:	Updated tests with changed behavior due
+	to addition of bignums.
+
+	* tests/expr.test:      Portable tests expr-46.13-18 [Bug 1341368]
+
+	* generic/tclPkg.c:	Corrected inconsistencies in the value returned
+	* tests/pkg.test:	by Tcl_PkgRequire(Ex) so that the returned
+	values will always agree with what is stored in the package database.
+	This way repeated calls to Tcl_PkgRequire(Ex) have the same results.
+	Thanks to Hemang Lavana. [Bug 1162286].
+
+2005-11-08  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TraceVarEx): Factor out heart of Tcl_TraceVar2
+	(TclTraceVariableObjCmd,TraceVarProc): Use the new internal API to
+	arrange for the clientData to be cleaned up at the same time as the
+	rest of the main trace record. This simplifies the code a bit at the
+	same time.
+
+2005-11-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/trace.test (trace-13.2-4): added tests to detect leak, see [Bug
+	1348775]. The recently added trace-8.9 test is now 13.4.
+
+2005-11-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/dict.test (dict-19.2): arrange for the stress testing code to
+	only stress test the dict code and not the trace code as well. [Bug
+	1342858]
+
+2005-11-05  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/trace.test (trace-8.9): added test to detect leak, see [Bug

+
+2005-11-04  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:  Applied [Patch 1267871] by Matt Newman for
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:  extended error code support on Windows.
+	* tests/exec.test:   Tests for extended error codes.
+	* generic/tclPipe.c: Permit long codes (platform macros permitting).

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c:
+	* generic/tclLink.c:
+	* generic/tclTest.c:
+	* generic/tclVar.c: fix for [Bug 1334947]. The functions TclPtrSetVar,
+	Tcl_ObjSetVar2 and Tcl_SetVar2Ex now always consume the newValuePtr
+	argument - i.e., they will free a 0-refCount object if they failed to
+	set the variable. Fixed all callers in the core.
+
+2005-11-04  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Added abbreviations for the Korean
+	* library/clock.tcl:    timezone. [Patch 1298737]
+	* generic/tclDate.c:    Regenerated.
+
+	* tools/findBadExternals.tcl: Added this script, which locates external
+	symbols that do not begin with 'Tcl' or 'tcl' and hence might be in
+	conflict with other link libraries. Thanks to George Peter Staplin for
+	the idea and the initial version of the script. [Bug 1263012]
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Trimmed a bunch of fat out of the tommath/
+	directory in 'make dist'. [RFE 1333318]
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: Added code to enable [load] on LynxOS. Thanks to
+	heidibr@users.sf.net for the patch. [Bug 1163896]. Removed the last
+	vestiges of GNU dld from the Unix build [RFE 1071992].
+
+	* unix/tclLoadDld.c: Removed.
+	* unix/configure: Regenerated.
+
+2005-11-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
+	* generic/tclVar.c:
+	* tests/trace.test: fix for [Bugs 1338280/1337229]; changed to use the
+	same approach as the 8.4 patch in the ticket (i.e., removed the patch
+	committed on 2005-31-10).
+
+2005-11-03  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:   Applied [Patch 1256872] to provide unicode
+	* win/tclWinConsole.c: support in the console on suitable systems.
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:     Patch by Anton Kovalenko
+
+2005-11-02  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	Applied [Patch 1096916] to support building with MSVC 8.
+	* generic/regerror.c: Avoid use of reserved word.
+	* generic/tcl.h:      Select the right Tcl_Stat structure
+	* generic/tclDate.c:  Casts to handle 64 bit time_t case.
+	* tests/env.test:     Include essential envvar on Win32
+	* win/nmakehlp.c:     Handle new return codes.
+	* win/makefile.vc:    Use the selected options.
+	* win/rules.vc:       Check options are applicable
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:   Disable deprecated function warnings
+	* win/tclWinSock.c:   Provide default value to avoid warning.
+	* win/tclWinTime.c:   Add casts to handle 64bit time_t type.
+
+2005-11-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TclCheckExecutionTraces): Corrected mistaken
+	assumption that all command traces are set at the script level.
+	Report/fix from Jacques H. de Villiers. [Bug 1337941]
+
+	* tests/unixNotfy.test (1.1,2):	Update error message whitespace to
+	match changes in code.
+
+	* tests/expr-old.test (expr-32.52): Use int(.) to restrict result of
+	left shift to the C long range.
+
+	* expr.test (expr-46.13): Added test that illustrates shortcoming of
+	[Patch 1340260].
+
+2005-10-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c: fix for [Bugs 1338280/1337229]. Thanks Don.

+
+2005-10-31  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialSetOptionProc): Cleaned up option parsing
+	to produce more informative error messages and separate error and
+	non-error code paths better.
+	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-8-19): Updated.
+
+2005-10-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TraceVarProc): [Bug 1337229], partial fix. Ensure
+	that a second call with TCL_TRACE_DESTROYED does not lead to a second
+	call to Tcl_EventuallyFree(). It is still true that that second call
+	should not happen, so the bug is not completely fixed.
+	* tests/trace.test (test-18.3-4): added tests for [Bug 1337229] and
+	[Bug 1338280].
+
+2005-10-23  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: fix to memory leak in glob [Bug 1335006] Obj
+	leak detection and patch by Eric Melbardis.
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: where appropriate windows API is available, try to
+	set 'nlink' and 'ino' stat fields (previously they were always 0). [Bug
+	1325803]
+
+2005-10-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+

+
+2005-10-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_INCR_*): fixed [Bug 1334570]. Obj leak
+	detection and patch by Eric Melbardis.
+
+2005-10-21  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclStrToD.c (RefineApproximation): Plugged a memory leak
+	where two intermediate results were not freed on one return path. [Bug
+	1334461]. Thanks to Eric Melbardis for the patch.
+
+2005-10-21  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/binary.n: Clarify that virtually all code that uses the 'h'
+	format in [binary scan] should be using the 'H' format instead. It is
+	nearly always a bug to use the other!
+
+2005-10-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclListObj.c (TclLsetFlat):
+	* tests/lset.test (lset-10.3): fixed handling of unshared lists with
+	shared sublists, [Bug 1333036] reported by neuronstorm.
+
+2005-10-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c (PassReceivedError,PassReceivedErrorInterp):
+	Fix crash caused by passing -1 as the length to TclNewStringObj(). Only
+	Tcl_NewStringObj (the function call, not the macro) handles that sort
+	of thing correctly. This makes ioCmd.test pass again.
+
+2005-10-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c:		Removed some dead code.
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:

+	* generic/tclVar.c:
+
+2005-10-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c: General cleanup, removing checks that are
+	unnecessary due to the general contracts of other functions in the
+	core, converting to using ANSI declarations, etc. Note that nearly the
+	whole file has changed, but it is often just cosmetic.
+
+2005-10-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_DICT_APPEND, INST_DICT_LAPPEND): fixed
+	faulty peephole optimisation that can cause crashes, [Bug 1331475]
+	reported by Aric Bills.
+
+2005-10-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Added optimization for I32L64 systems to avoid
+	using bignums to perform int multiplies. The improvement shows up most
+	dramatically in tclbench's matrix.bench.
+
+2005-10-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Restored some optimizations of the
+	INST_INCR_SCALAR1_IMM opcode.
+
+2005-10-14  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers): removed change dated
+	2005-10-04 (see below). Look into [Bug 1323992] for detailed
+	discussion.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Fixed bad definition of CRTEXPORT which should have
+	been CRTIMPORT rather. This broke compilation of generic/tclMain.c and
+	was probably introduced by mistake while applying the fix for [Bug
+	1256937] below.
+
+2005-10-14  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclIncrObj, TclExecuteByteCode): Tidied up a
+	couple of infelicitous do {...} while(0) constructs.
+
+2005-10-14  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:     Fix for [Bug 1256937] - correctly decorate
+	* generic/tclMain.c: imported functions from msvcrt in static builds.
+
+2005-10-13  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/format.test: "Forward"-port of test updates relating to [Bug
+	1284178]. The bug itself was fixed by TIP#237.
+
+2005-10-13  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers): temporary ifdef
+	TCL_THREADS changes done to de-activate pending event processing when
+	channel is being closed/cutted.
+
+2005-10-13  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+	* generic/tclStrToD.c (TclParseNumber): Missing goto caused crash when
+	parsing "Na". [Bug 1325833]
+
+2005-10-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (GetNumberFromObj):	Restored some lost
+	optimizations for empty string values. We avoid cost of a call to
+	TclParseNumber just to tell us an empty string isn't a number.
+
+2005-10-12  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c (SetFsPathFromAny): TclGetString macro must not
+	be combined with post-increment arguments. [Bug 1325099]
+
+2005-10-12  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (Tcl_ExecuteByteCode, TclIncrObj): Several

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

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

+
+2005-10-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Improved performance of INST_MULT, INST_DIV,
+	INST_ADD, and INST_SUB and replaced a "goto... label" with a "break
+	from loop" in TclIncrObj() and removed some dead code.
+
+2005-10-05  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): Fixed [Bug 1109294]. Applied
+	the patch provided by David Gravereaux.

+	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Fixed [Bug 1104682], by application of David
+	Welton's patch for it, and added a note about wideSeekProc.
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c (RcClose): Removed unreachable panic/return
+	statements. This fixes the remainder of [Bug 1286256].
+
+2005-10-05  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/env.test (env-6.1):
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: define USE_PUTENV_FOR_UNSET 1
+	* generic/tclEnv.c (TclSetEnv, TclUnsetEnv): add USE_PUTENV_FOR_UNSET
+	to existing USE_PUTENV define to account for various systems that have
+	putenv(), but can't unset env vars with it. Note difference between
+	Windows and Linux for actually unsetting the env var (use of '=').

+
+2005-10-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	INST_UMINUS, INST_UPLUS, INST_BITNOT, and INST_TRY_CVT_TO_NUMERIC
+	sections for performance.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Updated more callers to make use of
+	TclGetNumberFromObj. Removed some dead code.
+
+2005-10-04  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialSetOptionProc): free argv [Bug 1067708]

+	1311285]
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseCommand): add code that recognizes {} in

+	-DALLOW_EMPTY_EXPAND).
+
+2005-10-04  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers): now deletes any
+	outstanding timer for the channel. Also, prevents events still in the
+	event queue from triggering on the current channel.
+
+	* generic/tclTimer.c (Tcl_DeleteTimerHandler): bail out early if passed
+	NULL argument.
+
+2005-10-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Updated OldMathFuncProc and ExprAbsFunc to do
+	less invasion into numeric Tcl_Obj internals. Made ExprDoubleFunc,
+	ExprIntFunc, ExprWideFunc, and ExprRoundFunc bignum-aware. Revised
+	ExprSrandFunc error message.

+
+2005-08-17  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Removed a copy-and-paste accident
+	that caused a (mostly harmless) double finalize of the load and
+	filesystem subsystems.
+	* tests/clock.test: Eliminated the bad test clock-43.1, and split
+	clock-50.1 into two tests, with a more permissive check on the error

+
+2005-08-17  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_Expr{Long,Double}{,Obj}): Updated to
+	* generic/tclTest.c:                                deal with
+	* tests/expr-old.test:                              bignums (well,
+	* tests/expr.test:                                  mostly).
+	Added a missing "errno=0;" in ExprUnaryFunc so that spurious error
+	returns aren't detected.
+	Added test cases for Tcl_Expr* and Tcl_Expr*Obj because there was very
+	poor test coverage in those areas.
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c: Reworked parsing of numbers to call
+	TclParseNumber rather than trying to do things locally.
+	* generic/tclStrToD.c: Corrected a comment. Changed so that *endPtrPtr
+	does not include any trailing whitespace.
+
+2005-08-17  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: New routine TclIncrObj to centralize the

+	to make use of it.
+
+2005-08-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Made bit shifting opcodes and INST_MOD
+	bignum-aware.
+
+	* tests/scan.test:	Making << bignum-aware means that repeated
+	* tests/string.test:	left shifting cannot turn a positive into a
+	negative. Revised [int_range] and [largest_int] utility commands in the
+	test suite that relied on that happening. Without revision they became
+	infinite loops.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Made binary bitwise opcodes bignum-aware.
+
+	* generic/tclTomMath.h:	Added mp_or and mp_xor to routines from

+2005-08-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]	Updates from HEAD.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	More revisions to IllegalExprOperandType.
+	Merged INST_BITNOT with INST_UMINUS and make it bignum-aware according

+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: Disabled TclLooksLikeInt() and all callers.
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+

+
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:	make genstubs

+
+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Updated execution of arithmetic bytecodes to
+	be bignum-aware, and to allow calculations on NaN to produce a NaN
+	result. INST_UMINUS updated to call mp_neg.
+
+	* generic/tclTomMath.h:	Added mp_and, mp_expt_d, and mp_neg to
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	routines from libtommath used by Tcl.
+	* win/Makefile.in:

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

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

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

+
+2005-08-06  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: Stop exposing the guts of the thread

+
+2005-08-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

+
+2005-08-05  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+

+
+2005-08-05  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

+	1246264]
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (ExprAbsFunc): Added code to handle the corner

+
+2005-08-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): Fixed comment nit, added apparently

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

+	number of times a string value must be scanned.
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Simplified routines that manage the typeTable.
+	Deleted the UpdateStringOfBoolean() routine, that can never be called.
+
+2005-08-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

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

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

+
+2005-07-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+2005-07-21  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/ldAout.tcl (***REMOVED***):	Removed support for ancient

+2005-07-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclLink.c:	Simplified LinkTraceProc [Bug 1208108].
+
+2005-07-05  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	Purged use of TCLTESTARGS [RFE 1161550].
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	Converted TclFormatInt() into a macro.
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:	[RFE 1194015]
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:	make genstubs
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	Allow for [namespace import] of a command
+	* tests/namespace.test:	over a previous [namespace import] of itself
+	without throwing an error. [RFE 1230597]
+
+2005-07-04  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictForCmd, DictFilterCmd): Interlocking of
+	dictionary internal representations is now done in the core of the dict
+	iterator. Purge the last attempts at doing it at a higher level as they
+	didn't work and were no longer needed.
+
+2005-07-01  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: protect against spurious wake-ups while waiting
+	on the condition variable when tearing down the notifier thread [Bug
+	1222872].
+
+2005-06-28  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): When parsing an integer
+	operand for a unary minus expression operator, check for a wide integer
+	that is actually LONG_MIN. If found, convert back to a long int type.
+	* tests/expr.test: Add constraint for 32bit long int type and 64bit
+	wide int type. Add tests that parse the smallest/largest long int and
+	wide int values.
+
+2005-06-24  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize):
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclPreserve.c (TclFinalizePreserve): Changed the finalization
+	logic so that Tcl_Preserve finalizes after exit handlers run; a lot of
+	code called from Tk's exit handlers presumes that Tcl_Preserve will
+	still work even from an exit handler.
+
+2005-06-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/auto.tcl:	Make file safe to re-[source] without
+	destroying registered auto_mkindex_parser hooks.
+
+2005-06-23  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWinChan.c: More rewriting of __asm__ blocks that implement
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: SEH in GCC, because mingw's gcc 3.4.2 is not as
+	forgiving of violations committed by the old code and caused panics.
+	[Bug 1225957]
+
+2005-06-23  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: fixed useversion glob pattern to accept
+	multi-digit patchlevels.
+
+2005-06-22  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: Potential buffer overflow. [Bug 1225571] Thanks to
+	Pat Thoyts for discovery and fix.
+
+2005-06-22  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:			    Changed the finalization
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize):	    logic to defer the
+	* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): shutdown of the pipe
+	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclFinalizePipes):    management until after all
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclFinalizePipes):	    channels have been closed,
+	in order to avoid a situation where the Windows PipeCloseProc2 would
+	re-establish the exit handler after exit handlers had already run,
+	corrupting the heap. [Bug 1225727] Also corrected a potential read of
+	uninitialized memory in PipeClose2Proc [Bug 1225044]
+
+2005-06-21  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Followup to change made on 2005-06-18 by Daniel
+	Steffen. There are compilers (*) who error out on the redefinition of
+	WORDS_BIGENDIAN. We have to undef the previous definition (on the
+	command line) first to make this acceptable. (*): AIX native.
+
+2005-06-21  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: Changed [file split] and [file join] to treat
+	Windows drive letters similarly to ~ syntax and make sure that they
+	appear with "./" in front when they are in intermediate components of
+	the path. [Bug 1194458]
+	* tests/fileName.test: Added test for the above bug.
+
+2005-06-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Added missing walk of the list of active
+	* generic/tclTrace.c:	traces to cleanup references to traces being
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	deleted. [Bug 1201035] Made the walk of the
+	* tests/trace.test (trace-34.*): active trace list aware of the
+	direction of trace scanning, so the proper correction can be made.
+	[Bug 1224585]
+
+2005-06-21  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS): Only enable the 'compile' special
+	debugging feature when requested in configure.in; removes irrelevant
+	junk from the configure files of extensions that use Tcl's tcl.m4.
+
+2005-06-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h (INST_PUSH_RETURN_OPTIONS): New opcode to allow
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileCatchCmd):	   compilation of
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:				   TIP#90 catch [Bug
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode):	   1219112]
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Ensure we spill to the
+	command form in all cases where it generates an error.
+
+2005-06-20  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Generate an error if a mode
+	argument like -exact is passed more than once to the switch command.
+	The previous implementation silently accepted invalid switch
+	invocations like [switch -exact -glob $str ...].
+	* tests/for.test: Check some error cases when invoking continue and
+	break inside a for loop next script.
+	* tests/switch.test: Add checks for shortened version of a mode
+	argument like -exact. Add test for more than one mode argument. Add
+	test for odd case of passing a variable as a body script.
+
+2005-06-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: ensure WORDS_BIGENDIAN is defined correctly with
+	fat compiles on Darwin (i.e. ppc and i386 at the same time), the
+	configure AC_C_BIGENDIAN check is not sufficient in this case because a
+	single run of the compiler builds for two architectures with different
+	endianness.
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add -headerpad_max_install_names to LDFLAGS to
+	ensure we can always relocate binaries with install_name_tool.
+
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
+
+2005-06-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Fix for [Bug 1154163]; only
+	* tests/format.test: insert 'l' modifier when it is needed.
+
+2005-06-17  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclTimer.c (AfterDelay): Split out the code to manage
+	synchronous-delay [after] commands.
+	* tests/interp.test (interp-34.10): Time limits and synch-delay [after]
+	did not mix well... [Bug 1221395]
+
+2005-06-14  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): Only delete a
+	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-49.2): command from the hashtable on
+	reentrant processing if it has not been already deleted; at least three
+	deletes of the same command are possible. [Bug 1220058]
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TraceCommandProc): Remove bogus error message
+	creation when traces trigger in situations where the command has
+	already been deleted.
+
+2005-06-13  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c: correct fix to file mkdir 2005-06-09 [Bug 1219176]
+
+2005-06-12  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: Factor out some common idioms into named forms
+	for greater clarity.
+
+2005-06-10  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/chan.n: Fold in the descriptive parts of the documentation for
+	all the commands that [chan] builds on top of.
+
+2005-06-09  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c: fix to race condition in file mkdir [Bug 1217375]
+	* doc/glob.n: improve glob documentation [Bug 1190891]
+
+2005-06-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/expr.n, doc/mathfunc.n: Fix minor typos [Bug 1211078] and add
+	mention of distinctly-relevant [namespace path] subcommand.
+
+2005-06-07  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:		Reduced the Tcl_ObjTypes "index",
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c:	"ensembleCmd", "localVarName", and
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:		"levelReference" to file static scope.
+	* generic/tclProc.c:
+	* generic/tclVar.c:
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Restored registration of the "procbody"
+	Tcl_ObjType, as required by the tclcompiler application.
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:		make genstubs
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+
+2005-06-07  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ChannelTruncateProc): Stop proliferation of
+	* generic/tcl.h:			     channel type versions
+	* doc/CrtChannel.3:			     following advice from AKu
+
+	Bump patchlevel to a4 to distinguish from a3 release.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (INTERP_TRACE_IN_PROGRESS): Add flag so the error
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs):    messages from ensembles
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_ReadObjCmd):	       can be correct.
+
+	TIP#208 IMPLEMENTATION
+
+	* library/init.tcl: Create the chan ensemble.
+	* tests/chan.test: Rudimentary test suite.
+	* doc/chan.n: General documentation.
+
+	TRUNCATION API (part of TIP#208)
+	* generic/tcl.h, generic/tcl.decls: Declaration of the API.
+	* doc/CrtChannel.3, doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Documentation of the API.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Create the mapping into Tcl.
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (TclChanTruncateObjCmd): Implementation of
+	Tcl-level truncation API.
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_TruncateChannel): Generic C-level truncation API
+	implementation.
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileTruncateProc): Basic implementation of
+	truncating driver.
+
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (FileTruncateProc): Added implementation of file
+	truncation for Windows.
+	* tests/chan.test (chan-15.2): Added real test of truncation.
+
+2005-06-06  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Corrected another buglet in the assembly code for
+	stack probing on Win32/gcc. [Bug 1213678]
+	* generic/tclObj,c: Added missing 'static' on definition of
+	UpdateStringOfBignum, and removed a 'switch' on a 'long long' operand
+	(which HP-UX native 'cc' seems unable to handle). [Bug 1215775]
+
+2005-06-04  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	*** 8.5a3 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in (dist): add libtommath
+
+2005-06-03  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* library/parray.tcl (parray): Only generate the sorted list of element
+	names once. Thanks to Andreas Leitgeb for spotting this.
+
+2005-06-03  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Makefile: fixed 'embedded' target.
+
+2005-06-02  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in (html): add BUILD_HTML_FLAGS optional var
+	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: add a --useversion to prevent confusion
+	when multiple Tcl source dirs exist.
+
+2005-06-01  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	For compatibility with earlier Tcl releases,
+	* generic/tclResult.c:	when a command procedure simply does a
+	* generic/tclTest.c:	"return TCL_RETURN;" we must interpret that
+	* tests/result.test:	the same as
+	"return Tcl_SetReturnOptions(interp, Tcl_NewObj());"  [Bug 1209759].
+
+2005-06-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Allow compilation of
+	-nocase -glob [switch]es (only one we know how to compile).
+
+	TIP#241 IMPLEMENTATION from Joe Mistachkin
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd, Tcl_LsortObjCmd):
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Implementation of -nocase
+	option for [lsearch], [lsort] and [switch] commands.
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: Win uses nonstandard function names...
+	* tests/cmdIL.test, tests/lsearch.test, tests/switch.test: Tests
+	* doc/lsearch.n, doc/lsort.n, doc/switch.n: Docs
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileLindexCmd): Compile the most common
+	case of [lindex] more efficiently.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_FinalizeNotifier): Pass the correct number
+	of arguments to Tcl_JoinThread.
+
+2005-05-31  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/configure.in, unix/tcl.m4: Standardize generation of help
+	messages to always use AC_HELP_STRING and always (except for --with-tcl
+	and --with-tk, where the default is complex) say what the default is.
+
+2005-05-31  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: the notifier thread is now created as joinable
+	thread and it is properly joined in Tcl_FinalizeNotifier. This is an
+	attempt to fix the [Bug 1082283].
+
+2005-05-30  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Fixed [Bug 1204064]
+
+2005-05-30  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	TIP #229 IMPLEMENTATION
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindCommand, TclResetShadowedCmdRefs)
+	(NamespacePathCmd, SetNsPath, UnlinkNsPath, TclInvalidateNsPath):
+	Implementation of the [namespace path] command and the command name
+	resolution engine.
+	* doc/info.n, doc/namespace.n: Doc updates.
+	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-51.*): Test updates.
+	* generic/tclResolve.c (BumpCmdRefEpochs, Tcl_SetNamespaceResolvers):

+
+2005-05-26  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Makefile: moved & corrected EMBEDDED_BUILD check.
+
+	* unix/configure.in: corrected framework finalization to softlink stub
+	library to Versions/8.x subdir instead of Versions/Current.
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
+
+2005-05-25  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+

+2005-05-25  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	TIP#182 IMPLEMENTATION	[Patch 1165062]
+
+	* doc/mathfunc.n:	New built-in math function bool().

+	* tests/expr.test:
+	* tests/info.test:
+
+2005-05-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/init.tcl:	Updated [unknown] to be sure the [return]
+	* tests/init.test:	options from an auto-loaded command are seen
+	correctly by the caller.
+
+2005-05-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/env.test: added DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH to the list of env vars
+	that need to be handled specially.
+
+	* macosx/Makefile:
+	* macosx/README:
+	* macosx/Tcl-Info.plist.in (new file):
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* unix/tcl.m4:
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: moved all Darwin framework build support from
+	macosx/Makefile into the standard unix configure/make buildsystem, the
+	macosx/Makefile is no longer required to build Tcl.framework (but its
+	functionality is still available for backwards compatibility).
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclLoadFile):
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* unix/tcl.m4:
+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c: added support for [load]ing .bundle binaries in
+	addition to .dylib's: .bundle's can be [unload]ed (unlike .dylib's),
+	and can be [load]ed from memory, e.g. directly from VFS without needing
+	to be written out to a temporary location first. [Bug 1202209]
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TimeObjCmd): change [time] called with a
+	count > 1 to return a string with a float value instead of a rounded
+	off integer. [Bug 1202178]
+
+	* doc/expr.n:
+	* doc/string.n: fixed roff syntax complaints from 'make html'.
+
+2005-05-20  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Corrected parser to recognize all
+	boolean literals accepted by Tcl_GetBoolean, including prefixes like
+	"y" and "f", and to allow "eq" and "ne" as function names in the proper
+	context. [Bug 1201589].
+
+2005-05-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): Rewrite for greater
+	clarity; although 'goto' is Bad, the contortions you have to go through
+	to avoid it can be worse...
+
+2005-05-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): fixed crashing CFRelease
+	of runLoopSource in Tcl_InitNotifier (reported by Zoran):
+	CFRunLoopAddSource doesn't CFRetain, so can only CFRelease the
+	runLoopSource in Tcl_FinalizeNotifier.
+
+2005-05-18  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_ExprBoolean):	Rewrite as wrapper around
+	Tcl_ExprBooleanObj.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c ([string is boolean/true/false]): Rewrite dropping
+	string-based Tcl_GetBoolean call, so that internal reps are kept for
+	subsequent quick boolean operations.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Dropped most special handling of the "boolean"
+	Tcl_ObjType, since that type should now be rarely encountered.
+
+	* doc/BoolObj.3:	Rewrite of documentation dropping many details
+	about the internals of Tcl_Objs. Shorter documentation focuses on the
+	function and use of the routines.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Revision to the "boolean" Tcl_ObjType, so that
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	only string values like "yes" and "false" are
+	* tests/obj.test:	kept as the "boolean" Tcl_ObjType. The string
+	values "0" and "1" are kept as "int" Tcl_ObjType, which also produce
+	quick calls to Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj(). Since this internal change
+	means a Tcl_ConvertToType to a "boolean" Tcl_ObjType might not produce
+	a Tcl_Obj of type "boolean", the registration of the "boolean" type is
+	also removed.
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	For callers of Tcl_GetObjType on the type name "boolean".
+
+2005-05-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclInitObjSubsystem):	Removed the
+	* tests/listObj.test:	registration of the Tcl_ObjType's "list",
+	* tests/obj.test:	"procbody", "index", "ensembleCommand",
+	"localVarName", and "levelReference". The only reason to register a
+	Tcl_ObjType is to have it returned by Tcl_GetObjType, and the only
+	reason for that is to retrieve a (Tcl_ObjType *) to pass to
+	Tcl_ConvertToType(). None of the types above can support a
+	Tcl_ConvertToType() call; they panic. Better not to offer something
+	than to lead users into a panic.
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	For callers of Tcl_GetObjType on the type names listed above.

+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: conditioned definition of EXCEPTION_REGISTRATION
+	structures on HAVE_NO_SEH, to fix a bug in buildability on MSVC.
+
+2005-05-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclTest.c:
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: fixed link error due to direct access by tclTest.c
+	to the MODULE_SCOPE tclPlatform global: renamed existing
+	TclWinGetPlatform() accessor to TclGetPlatform() and moved it to
+	generic code so that it can be used by on all platforms where
+	MODULE_SCOPE is enforced.
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): made use of CoreFoundation API configurable and
+	added test of CoreFoundation availablility to allow building on ppc64,
+	replaced HAVE_CFBUNDLE by HAVE_COREFOUNDATION; test for availability of
+	Tiger or later OSSpinLockLock API.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (new file): when CoreFoundation is
+	available, use new CFRunLoop based notifier: allows easy integration
+	with other event loops on Mac OS X, in particular the TkAqua Carbon
+	event loop is now integrated via a standard tcl event source (instead
+	of TkAqua upon loading having to finalize the exsting notifier and
+	replace it with its custom version). [Patch 1202052]
+
+	* tests/unixNotfy.test: don't run unthreaded tests on Darwin since
+	notifier may be using threads even in unthreaded core.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): test for thread-unsafe realpath during
+	configure, as Darwin 7 and later realpath is threadsafe.
+
+	* macosx/Makefile: enable configure caching.
+
+	* unix/configure.in: wrap tclConfig.h header in #ifndef _TCLCONFIG so
+	that it can be included more than once without warnings from gcc4.0 (as
+	happens e.g. when including both tclInt.h and tclPort.h)
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c:
+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: fixed gcc 4.0 warnings.
+
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59
+
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: make genstubs
+
+2005-05-13  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Further rework of the SEH logic. All
+	EXCEPTION_REGISTRATION records are now in the activation record rather
+	than pushed on the stack.

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

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

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

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

+
+2007-11-23  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c: Fixed a problem with reflected channels. 'chan
+	postevent' is defined to work only from within the interpreter
+	containing the handler command. Sensible, we want only handler
+	commands to use it. It identifies the channel by handle. The channel
+	moves to a different interpreter or thread. The interpreter containing
+	the handler command doesn't know the channel any longer. 'chan
+	postevent' fails, not finding the channel any longer. Uhm.
+
+	Fixed by creating a second per-interpreter channel table, just for
+	reflected channels, where each interpreter remembers for which
+	reflected channels it has the handler command. This info does not move
+	with the channel itself. The table is updated by 'chan create', and
+	used by 'chan postevent'.
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test: Updated the testsuite.

+
+	* tests/string.test (string-12.22): Flag shimmering bug found in
+	[string range].
+
+2007-11-21  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileEnsemble): Rewrote the ensemble
+	compiler to remove many of the limitations. Can now compile scripts
+	that use unique prefixes of subcommands, and which have mappings of a
+	command to multiple words (provided the first is a compilable command
+	of course).
+
+2007-11-21  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+
+	* generic/various: Start to return more useful Error codes, currently
+	mainly on assorted lookup failures.
+
+2007-11-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c: Changed the underlying implementation of the
+	hash table used in dictionaries to additionally keep all entries in
+	the hash table in a linked list, which is only ever added to at the
+	end. This makes iteration over all entries in the dictionary in
+	key insertion order a trivial operation, and so cleans up a great deal
+	of complexity relating to dictionary representation and stability of
+	iteration order.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	For any code that depended on the (strange) old iteration order.
+
+	* generic/tclConfig.c (QueryConfigObjCmd): Correct usage of
+	Tcl_WrongNumArgs.

+
+2007-11-15  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2007-11-14  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

+
+2007-11-14  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+
+2007-11-13  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+	Cuts the memory consumption of the RE compiler. [Bug 1831425]
+
+2007-11-13  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd, TclCompileRegexpCmd):
+	Extend [switch] compiler to handle regular expressions as long as
+	things are not too complex. Fix [regexp] compiler so that non-trivial
+	literal regexps get fed to INST_REGEXP.
+
+	* doc/mathop.n: Clarify definitions of some operations.
+
+2007-11-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: the TCL_NO_STACK_CHECK was being incorrectly

+	is used elsewhere and needs to be consistent.
+
+2007-11-13  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2007-11-13  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/regcomp.c:	Convert optst() from expensive no-op to a

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

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

+	failure comments (mistachkin).
+
+2007-11-10  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Rewrote the Windows stack checking algorithm to
+	use information from VirtualQuery to determine the bound of the stack.
+	This change fixes a bug where the guard page of the stack was never
+	restored after an overflow. It also eliminates a nasty piece of
+	assembly code for structured exception handling on mingw. It
+	introduces an assumption that the stack is a single memory arena
+	returned from VirtualAlloc, but the code in MSVCRT makes the same
+	assumption, so it should be fairly safe.

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Modify the stack checking algorithm to recheck in
+	case of failure. The working assumptions are now that (a) a thread's

+	shrink. Port to windows - could be more efficient, but is already
+	cheaper than it was.

+2007-11-06  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Version of the embedded iso8859-1 encoding
+	handler that is faster (functions to do the encoding know exactly what
+	they're doing instead of pulling it from a table, though the table
+	itself has to be retained for use by shift encodings that depend on

+
+2007-11-05  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclConfig.c (Tcl_RegisterConfig): Modified to not extend the
+	config database if the encoding provided by the user is not found

+	neither crash nor provide bogus information. See [Bug 983509] for more
+	discussion.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyGetOptionProc): Accepted [Patch 1823576]

+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclInitEncodingSubsystem): Hard code the

+
+2007-09-07  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c ([::tcl::Bgerror]):	Corrections to Tcl's

+
+2007-09-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+

+
+2007-09-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_GetReturnOptions):	Take care that a
+	* tests/init.test:	non-TCL_ERROR code doesn't cause existing
+	-errorinfo, -errorcode, and -errorline entries to be omitted.
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:	With -errorInfo no longer lost, generate more
+	complete ::errorInfo when calling [bgerror] after a non-TCL_ERROR
+	background exception.
+
+2007-09-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_Init):	Removed constraint on ability
+	to define a custom [tclInit] before calling Tcl_Init(). Until now the
+	custom command had to be a proc. Now it can be any command.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: New internal routine TclBackgroundException()
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:	that for the first time permits non-TCL_ERROR
+	exceptions to trigger [interp bgerror] handling. Closes a gap in TIP
+	221. When falling back to [bgerror] (which is designed only to handle
+	TCL_ERROR), convert exceptions into errors complaining about the
+	exception.
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Convert Tcl_BackgroundError() callers to call

+
+2007-09-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	It's unreliable to count on the release
+	manager to remember to `make genstubs` before `make dist`. Let the

+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	Corrections to `make dist` dependencies to be

+	output is less likely to get mangled when writes to stdout interleave
+	with other code.
+
+2007-08-28  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Use a table lookup in ParseLexeme() to
+	determine lexemes with single-byte representations.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Used unions to better clarify overloading of
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	the fields of the OpCmdInfo and
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:		TclOpCmdClientData structs.
+
+2007-08-27  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Call TclCompileSyntaxError() when
+	expression syntax errors are found when compiling expressions. With
+	this in place, convert TclCompileExpr to return void, since there's no
+	longer any need to report TCL_ERROR.
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: Update callers.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:	New routine TclCompileSyntaxError()
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: to directly compile bytecodes that report a
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: syntax error, rather than (ab)use a call to
+	TclCompileReturnCmd. Also, undo the most recent commit that papered
+	over some issues with that (ab)use. New routine produces a new opcode
+	INST_SYNTAX, which is a minor variation of INST_RETURN_IMM. Also a bit
+	of constification.
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: Move the deallocation of local LiteralTable
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	entries into TclFreeCompileEnv().
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Update callers.
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Force numeric and boolean literals in
+	expressions to register with their intreps intact, even if that means
+	overwriting existing intreps in already registered literals.
+
+2007-08-25  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Added code to handle
+	* tests/expr.test (expr-23.48-53)	     integer exponentiation
+	that results in 32- and 64-bit integer results, avoiding calls to wide
+	integer exponentiation routines in this common case. [Bug 1767293]
+
+	* library/clock.tcl (ParseClockScanFormat): Modified code to allow
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-60.*):	    case-insensitive matching
+	of time zone and month names. [Bug 1781282]
+
+2007-08-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Register literals found in expressions
+	* tests/compExpr.test:	to restore literal sharing. Preserve numeric
+	intreps when literals are created for the first time. Correct memleak
+	in ExecConstantExprTree() and add test for the leak.
+
+2007-08-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: replaced copy loop that tripped some compilers
+	with memmove. [Bug 1780870]
+
+2007-08-23  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/init.tcl ([auto_load_index]): Delete stray "]" that created
+	an expr syntax error (masked by a [catch]).
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd):	Added crash protection
+	to handle callers other than TclCompileScript() failing to meet the
+	initialization assumptions of the TIP 280 code in CompileWord().
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Suppress the attempt to convert to
+	numeric when pre-compiling a constant expresion indicates an error.
+
+2007-08-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): disable the new shortcut to frequent
+	INSTs for debug builds. REVERTED (collision with alternative fix)
+
+2007-08-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclMain.c:	Corrected the logic of dropping the last
+	* tests/main.test:	newline from an interactively typed command.
+	[Bug 1775878]
+
+2007-08-21  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/thread.test: thread-4.4: clear ::errorInfo in the thread as a
+	message is left here from init.tcl on windows due to no tcl_pkgPath.
+
+2007-08-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_SUB): fix usage of the new macro for
+	overflow detection in sums, adapt to subtraction. Lengthy comment
+	added.
+
+2007-08-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (Overflowing, TclIncrObj, TclExecuteByteCode):
+	Encapsulate Miguel's last change in a more mnemonic macro.
+
+2007-08-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: changed the check for overflow in sums,
+	reducing objsize, number of branches and cache misses (according to
+	cachegrind). Non-overflow for s=a+b:
+	previous
+	  ((a >= 0 || b >= 0 || s < 0) && (s >= 0 || b < 0 || a < 0))
+	now
+	  (((a^s) >= 0) || ((a^b) < 0))
+	This expresses: "a and s have the same sign or else a and b have
+	different sign".
+
+2007-08-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/interp.n (RESOURCE LIMITS): Added text to better explain why
+	time limits are described using absolute times. [Bug 1752148]
+
+2007-08-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: improved localVarNameType caching to leverage
+	the new availability of Tcl_Obj in variable names, avoiding string
+	comparisons to verify that the cached value is usable.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: check the two most frequent instructions
+	before the switch. Reduces both runtime and obj size a tiny bit.
+
+2007-08-16  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Added a "constant" field to the OpNode
+	struct (again "free" due to alignment requirements) to mark those
+	subexpressions that are completely known at compile time. Enhanced
+	CompileExprTree() and its callers to precompute these constant
+	subexpressions at compile time. This resolves the issue raised in [Bug
+	1564517].
+
+2007-08-15  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclGetOpenModeEx): Only set the O_APPEND flag
+	* tests/ioUtil.test (ioUtil-4.1):	  on a channel for the 'a'
+	mode and not for 'a+'. [Bug 1773127]
+
+2007-08-14  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_INVOKE*): peephole opt, do not get the
+	interp's result if it will be pushed/popped.
+
+2007-08-14  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Use fully qualified variable names for
+	* tests/thread.test:	::errorInfo and ::errorCode so that string
+	* tests/trace.test:	reported to variable traces are fully
+	qualified in agreement with Tcl 8.4 operations.
+
+2007-08-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c: use dlfcn API on Mac OS X 10.4 and later; fix
+	issues with loading from memory on intel and 64bit; add debug messages
+
+	* tests/load.test: add test load-10.1 for loading from vfs.
+
+	* unix/dltest/pkga.c:		whitespace & comment cleanup, remove
+	* unix/dltest/pkgb.c:		unused pkgf.c.
+	* unix/dltest/pkgc.c:

+2007-08-13  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Provide DECACHE/CACHE protection to the

+
+2007-08-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SplitObjCmd): use TclNewStringObj macro
+	instead of calling the function.
+
+	* generic/tcl_Obj.c (TclAllocateFreeObjects): remove unneeded memset
+	to 0 of all allocated objects.
+
+2007-08-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: remove redundant ops in TclNewStringObj macro.
+
+2007-08-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: fix the TclSetVarNamespaceVar macro, was causing a
+	leak.
+
+2007-08-10  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Revise CompileExprTree() to use the
+	OpNode mark field scheme of tree traversal. This eliminates the need
+	to use magic values in the left and right fields for that purpose.
+	Also stop abusing the left field within ParseExpr() to store the
+	number of arguments in a parsed function call. CompileExprTree() now
+	determines that for itself at compile time. Then reorder code to
+	eliminate duplication.
+
+2007-08-09  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclCreateProc): better comments on the required
+	varflag values when loading precompiled procs.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_STORE_ARRAY):
+	* tests/trace.test (trace-2.6): whole array write traces on compiled
+	local variables were not firing. [Bug 1770591]
+
+2007-08-08  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (InitLocalCache): reference firstLocalPtr via
+	procPtr. codePtr->procPtr == NULL exposed by tbcload.
+
+2007-08-08  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Corrected failure to compile/link in the
+	-DNO_WIDE_TYPE configuration.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Corrected improper use of bignum arguments to
+	* tests/expr.test:	*SHIFT operations. [Bug 1770224]
+
+2007-08-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: remove comments refering to VAR_SCALAR, as that
+	flag bit does not exist any longer.
+	* generic/tclProc.c (InitCompiledLocals): removed optimisation for
+	non-resolved case, as the function is never called in that case.
+	Renamed the function to InitResolvedLocals to calrify the point.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:	  Exporting via stubs to help xotcl adapt to

+2007-08-07  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEnv.c:	improve environ handling on Mac OS X (adapted

+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	add support for compile flags specific to
+				object files linked directly into executables.
+
+	* unix/configure.in (Darwin): only use -seg1addr flag when prebinding;
+	use -mdynamic-no-pic flag for object files linked directly into exes;
+	support overriding TCL_PACKAGE_PATH/TCL_MODULE_PATH in environment.
+
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
+
+2007-08-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/parseExpr.test: Update source file name of expr parser code.
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Added a "mark" field to the OpNode
+	struct, which is used to guide tree traversal. This field costs
+	nothing since alignement requirements used the memory already.
+	Rewrote ConvertTreeToTokens() to use the new field, which permitted
+	consolidation of utility routines CopyTokens() and
+	GenerateTokensForLiteral().
+
+2007-08-06  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Added a cast to the definition of YYFREE to

+
+2007-08-01  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+
+	*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** (tclInt.h and tclCompile.h)
+	Extensions that access internals defined in tclInt.h and/or
+	tclCompile.h may lose both binary and source compatibility. The
+	relevant changes are:
+	1. 'struct Var' is completely changed, all acceses to its internals
+	   (either direct or via the TclSetVar* and TclIsVar* macros) will
+	   malfunction. Var flag values and semantics changed too.
+	2. 'struct Bytecode' has an additional field that has to be
+	   initialised to NULL
+	3. 'struct Namespace' is larger, as the varTable is now one pointer
+	   larger than a Tcl_HashTable. Direct access to its fields will
+	   malfunction.
+	4. 'struct CallFrame' grew one more field (the second such growth with
+	   respect to Tcl8.4).
+	5. API change for the functions TclFindCompiledLocal, TclDeleteVars
+	   and many internal functions in tclVar.c
+
+	Additionally, direct access to variable hash tables via the standard
+	Tcl_Hash* interface is to be considered as deprecated. It still works
+	in the present version, but will be broken by further specialisation
+	of these hash tables. This concerns especially the table of array
+	elements in an array, as well as the varTable field in the Namespace
+	struct.
+
+2007-07-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+

+2007-07-31  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+

+	to spoofing. [Bug 681877]
+
+	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: Simplify the #ifdef logic.

+
+2007-07-30  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (SET_BITS, CLEAR_BITS): Added macros to make this
+	file clearer.

+2007-07-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TEOvI, GetCommandSource):
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC, TclGetSrcInfoForCmd):
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TclCheck(Interp|Execution)Traces):
+	Removed the need for TEBC to inspect the command before calling TEOvI,
+	leveraging the TIP 280 infrastructure. Moved the generation of a
+	correct nul-terminated command string away from the trace code, back
+	into TEOvI/GetCommandSource.
+
+2007-07-20  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/platform/platform.tcl: Fixed bug in 'platform::patterns'
+	* library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: where identifiers not matching
+	* unix/Makefile.in: the special linux and solaris forms would not
+	* win/Makefile.in: get 'tcl' as an acceptable platform added to
+	* doc/platform.n: the result. Bumped package to version 1.0.3 and
+	* doc/platform_shell.n: updated documentation and Makefiles. Also
+	fixed bad version info in the documentation of platform::shell.
+
+2007-07-19  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c:	In contexts where interp and parsePtr->interp
+	might be different, be sure to use the latter for error reporting.
+	Also pulled the interp argument back out of ParseTokens() since we
+	already had a parsePtr->interp to work with.
+
+2007-07-18  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Removed unused arguments and variables
+
+2007-07-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (ParseExpr):	While adding comments to
+	explain the operations of ParseExpr(), made significant revisions to
+	the code so it would be easier to explain, and in the process made the
+	code simpler and clearer as well.
+
+2007-07-15  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	More commentary.
+	* tests/parseExpr.test:		Several tests of syntax error messages
+	to check that when expression substrings are truncated they leave
+	visible the context relevant to the reported error.
+
+2007-07-12  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Factored out, corrected, and commented
+	common code for reporting syntax errors in LEAF elements.
+
+2007-07-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileWhileCmd):
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript):
+	Corrected faulty avoidance of INST_START_CMD when the first opcode in
+	a script is within a loop (as produced by 'while 1'), so that the
+	corresponding command is properly counted. [Bug 1752146]
+
+2007-07-11  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Added a "parseOnly" flag argument to
+	ParseExpr() to indicate whether the caller is Tcl_ParseExpr(), with an
+	end goal of filling a Tcl_Parse with Tcl_Tokens representing the
+	parsed expression, or TclCompileExpr() with the goal of compiling and
+	executing the expression. In the latter case, more aggressive
+	conversion of QUOTED and BRACED lexeme to literals is done. In the
+	former case, all such conversion is avoided, since Tcl_Token
+	production would revert it anyway. This enables simplifications to the
+	GenerateTokensForLiteral() routine as well.
+
+2007-07-10  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Added a field for operator precedence
+	to be stored directly in the parse tree. There's no memory cost to
+	this addition, since that memory would have been lost to alignment
+	issues anyway. Also, converted precedence definitions and lookup
+	tables to use symbolic constants instead of raw number for improved
+	readability, and continued extending/improving/correcting comments.
+	Removed some unused counter variables. Renamed some variables for
+	clarity and replaced some cryptic logic with more readable macros.
+
+2007-07-09  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Revision so that the END lexeme never
+	gets inserted into the parse tree. Later tree traversal never reaches
+	it since its location in the tree is not variable. Starting and
+	stopping with the START lexeme (node 0) is sufficient. Also finished
+	lexeme code commentary.
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Added missing creation and return of
+	the Tcl_Parse fields that indicate error conditions. [Bug 1749987]
+
+2007-07-05  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/init.tcl (unknown):	Corrected inconsistent error message
+	in interactive [unknown] when empty command is invoked. [Bug 1743676]

+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (SetNsNameFromAny):
+	* generic/tclObj.c (SetCmdNameFromAny): Avoid unnecessary
+	ckfree/ckalloc when the old structs can be reused.
+
+2007-07-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c: Fix case where a FQ cmd or ns was being cached
+	* generic/tclObj.c:    in a different interp, tkcon. [Bug 1747512]
+
+2007-07-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Revised #define values so that there
+	is now more expansion room to define more BINARY operators.
+
+2007-07-02  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (CompareStringKeys): Always use the strcmp()
+	version; the operation is functionally equivalent, the speed is
+	identical (up to measurement limitations), and yet the code is
+	simpler. [FRQ 951168]
+
+2007-07-02  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Removed TCL_PRESERVE_BINARY_COMPATIBILITY and
+	* generic/tclHash.c:	any code enabled when it is set to 0. We will
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:	always want to preserve binary compat
+	of the structs that appear in the interface through the 8.* series of
+	releases, so it's pointless to drag around this never-enabled
+	alternative.
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c:	Removed dead code.
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c:
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Removed dead code, old implementations
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:	of expr parsing and compiling, including the
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	routine TclFinalizeCompilation().
+
+2007-06-30  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Plug a memory leak caused by a

+
+2007-06-30  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclThread.c: Prevent RemeberSyncObj() from growing the sync
+	object lists by reusing already free'd slots, if possible. See
+	discussion on Bug 1726873 for more information.
+
+2007-06-29  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/DictObj.3 (Tcl_DictObjDone): Improved documentation of this
+	function to make it clearer how to use it. [Bug 1710795]
+
+2007-06-29  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclAlloc.c:		on Darwin, ensure memory allocated by
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c:	the custom TclpAlloc()s is aligned to

+
+	* generic/tclGetDate.y: use ckalloc/ckfree instead of malloc/free.

+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPAT*** There is a subtle issue with the timing of
+	execution traces that is changed here - first change appeared in my
+	commit of 2007-04-03 [Patch 1693802], which caused some divergence

+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_INVOKE): isolated two vars to the small
+	block where they are actually used.
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetCommandFromObj): rewritten to make the
+	logic clearer; slightly faster too.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Split TEOv in two, by separating a processor
+	for non-TCL_OK returns. Also split TEOvI in a full version that
+	handles non-existing and traced commands, and a separate shorter
+	version for the regular case.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Moved the generation of command strings for
+	* generic/tclTrace.c:	traces: previously in Tcl_EvalObjv(), now in
+	TclCheck[Interp|Execution]Traces(). Also insured that the strings are
+	properly NUL terminated at the correct length. [Bug 1693986]
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY in internal API***
+	The functions TclCheckInterpTraces() and TclCheckExecutionTraces() (in
+	internal stubs) used to be noops if the command string was NULL, this
+	is not true anymore: if the command string is NULL, they generate an
+	appropriate string from (objc,objv) and use it to call the traces. The
+	caller might as well not call them with a NULL string if he was
+	expecting a noop.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Extend usage of TclLimitReady() and
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: (new) TclLimitExceeded() macros.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:

+	first. [Bug 1710285]
+	* generic/tclThread.c (TclFinalizeSynchronization): Make sure that TSD
+	blocks get freed on non-threaded builds. [Bug 1710825]
+	* tests/utf.test (utf-25.1--utf-25.4): Modified tests to clean up
+	after the 'testobj' extension to avoid spurious reports of memory
+	leaks.
+
+2007-05-01  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (STR_MAP): When [string map] has a pure dict map,
+	a missing Tcl_DictObjDone() call led to a memleak. [Bug 1710709]
+
+2007-04-30  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: add 'tclsh' dependency to install targets that
+	rely on tclsh, fixes parallel 'make install' from empty build dir.
+
+2007-04-30  Andreas Kupries <andreask@gactivestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (FixLevelCode): Corrected reference count
+	mismanagement of newlevel, newcode. Changed to allocate the Tcl_Obj's
+	as late as possible, and only when actually needed. [Bug 1705778, leak
+	K29]
+
+2007-04-30  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_ProcObjCmd, SetLambdaFromAny): Corrected

+
+	*** 8.5a6 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***

+
+2007-04-25  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSChdir): Changed the memory management so

+	before being stored as the current directory, to avoid a memory leak.
+	[Bug 1705778, leak K01 among other manifestations]
+
+2007-04-25  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (ParseExpr):	Revised to be sure that an
+	error return doesn't prevent all literals getting placed on the
+	litList to be returned to the caller for freeing. Corrects some
+	memleaks. [Bug 1705778, leak K23]
+
+2007-04-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in (dist): add macosx/*.xcconfig files to src dist;

+
+	* generic/tclListObj.c: reverting [Patch 738900] (committed on
+	2007-04-20). Causes some Tk test breakage of unknown importance, but
+	the impact of the patch itself is likely to be so small that it does
+	not warrant investigation at this time.
+
+2007-04-24  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictKeysCmd): Rewrote so that the lock on the

+	1705778, leak K04]
+	(DictFilterCmd): Added code to drop the lock in the trivial match
+	case. [Bug 1705778, leak K05]
+
+2007-04-24  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclBinary.c: Addressed several code paths where the error
+	return from the 'binary format' command leaked the result buffer.
+	* generic/tclListObj.c (TclLsetFlat): Fixed a bug where the new list
+	under construction was leaked in the error case. [Bug 1705778, leaks
+	K13 and K14]
+
+2007-04-24  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in (dist): add platform library package to src dist
+
+2007-04-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (ParseExpr): Memory leak in error case; the
+	literal Tcl_Obj was not getting freed. [Bug 1705778, leak #1 (new)]

+
+2007-04-24  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+	return value from the "initialize" method of a channel handler.
+	(All of the above under [Bug 1705778])

+
+2007-04-23  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileUpvarCmd): Plugged a memory leak in

+	* generic/tclTest.c (Testregexpobjcmd): Removed an invalid access
+	beyond the end of 'objv' in 'testregexp -about'.
+	All of these issues reported under [Bug 1705778] - detected with the
+	existing test suite, no new regression tests required.
+
+2007-04-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclDeleteNamespaceVars): fixed access to freed
+	memory detected by valgrind: Tcl_GetCurrentNamespace was being
+	called after freeing root CallFrame (on interp deletion).
+
+2007-04-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclListObj.c (SetListFromAny): avoid discarding internal
+	reps of objects converted to singleton lists. [Patch 738900]
+
+2007-04-20  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* doc/clock.n: Corrected a silly error (transposed 'uppercase' and
+	'lowercase' in clock.n. [Bug 1656002]
+	Clarified that [clock scan] does not recognize a locale's alternative
+	calendar.
+	Deleted an entirely superfluous (and also incorrect) remark about the
+	effect of Daylight Saving Time on relative times in [clock scan]. [Bug
+	1582951]
+	* library/clock.tcl: Corrected an error in skipping over the %Ey field
+	on input.
+	* library/msgs/ja.msg:
+	* tools/loadICU.tcl: Corrected several localisation faults in the
+	Japanese locale (most notably, incorrect dates for the Emperors'
+	eras). Many thanks to SourceForge user 'nyademo' for pointing this out
+	and developing a fix. [Bug 1637471]
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: Corrected a 'const'ness fault that caused
+	bitter complaints from MSVC.
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-40.1, clock-58.1, clock-59.1): Corrected a
+	test case that depended on ":localtime" being able to handle dates
+	prior to the Posix epoch. [Bug 1618445] Added a test case for the
+	dates of the Japanese emperors. [Bug 1637471] Added a regression test
+	for military time zone input conversion. [Bug 1586828]
+	* generic/tclGetDate.y (MilitaryTable): Fixed an ancient bug where the
+	military NZA time zones had the signs reversed. [Bug 1586828]
+	* generic/tclDate.c: Regenerated.
+	* doc/Notifier.3: Documented Tcl_SetNotifier and Tcl_ServiceModeHook.
+	Quite against my better judgment. [Bug 414933]

+	* library/tzdata/America/Tegucigalpa:
+	* library/tzdata/Asia/Damascus: Olson's tzdata 2007e.
+
+2007-04-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/regcomp.c, generic/regc_cvec.c, generic/regc_lex.c,

+	compiler.
+
+2007-04-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_LSHIFT): fixed a mistake introduced in
+	version 1.266 ('=' became '=='), which effectively turned the block
+	that handles native shifts into dead code. This explains why the
+	testsuite did not pick this mistake. Rewrote to make the intention
+	clear.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclDecrRefCount): change the order of the
+	branches, use empty 'if ; else' to handle use in unbraced outer
+	if/else conditions (as already done in tcl.h)
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: slight changes in Tcl_Obj management.
+
+2007-04-17  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+

+	recognized. [Bug 1656002]
+
+2007-04-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+
+2007-04-15  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: added a cast to silence a compiler error on
+	VC2005.
+	* library/clock.tcl: Restored unique-prefix matching of keywords on

+	* tests/clock.test: Added rudimentary test cases for unique-prefix
+	matching of keywords.
+
+2007-04-14  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: removed some code at INST_EXPAND_SKTOP that
+	duplicates functionality already present at checkForCatch.
+
+2007-04-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: new macros OBJ_AT_TOS, OBJ_UNDER_TOS,
+	OBJ_AT_DEPTH(n) and CURR_DEPTH that remove all direct references to
+	tosPtr from TEBC (after initialisation and the code at the label
+	cleanupV_pushObjResultPtr).
+
+2007-04-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: moved all exceptDepth management to the
+	macros - the decreasing half was managed by hand.
+
+2007-04-10  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclNewLiteralStringObj): New macro to make
+	allocating literal string objects (i.e. objects whose value is a
+	constant string) easier and more efficient, by allowing the omission
+	of the length argument. Based on [Patch 1529526] (afredd)
+	* generic/*.c: Make use of this (in many files).
+
+2007-04-08  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile (tclInstructionTable): Fixed bugs in description
+	of dict instructions.

+
+2007-04-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+

+
+2007-04-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	Revised ErrorCodeRead and ErrorInfoRead trace

+
+2007-04-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:	 Moved TclGetNamespaceFromObj() to the

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

+
+2007-03-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_ApplyObjCmd):
+	* tests/apply.test (9.3): Fixed Tcl_Obj leak on error return; an
+	unneeded ref to lambdaPtr was being set and not released on an error
+	return path.
+
+2007-03-28  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (STR_REVERSE):	Implement the actual [string
+	reverse] command in terms of the new TclStringObjReverse() routine.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclStringObjReverse):	New internal routine
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (TclStringObjReverse): that implements the
+	[string reverse] operation, making use of knowledge/surgery of the
+	String intrep to minimize the number of allocs and copies needed to do
+	the job.
+
+2007-03-27  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (STR_MAP): Replace ckalloc calls with
+	TclStackAlloc calls.
+
+2007-03-24  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Thread exit handler marks the current thread as
+	un-initialized. This allows exit handlers that are registered later to
+	re-initialize this subsystem in case they need to use some sync
+	primitives (cond variables) from this file again.
+
+2007-03-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc): pop the root frame pointer

+
+	* win/Makefile.in: Added code to keep a Cygwin path name from leaking
+	into LIBRARY_DIR when doing 'make test' or 'make runtest'.
+
+2007-03-22  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ForeachObjCmd):	Replaced arrays on the
+	C stack and ckalloc calls with TclStackAlloc calls to use memory on
+	Tcl's evaluation stack.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Revised GrowEvaluationStack to take an
+	argument specifying the growth required by the caller, so that a
+	single reallocation / copy is the most that will ever be needed even
+	when required growth is large.
+
+2007-03-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	* generic/tclGetDate.y: According to Donal Fellows, "Introduce modern
+	formatting standards; no need for rebuild of tclDate.c."

+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors):	Make efficient private copy

+	subcommand of a particular ensemble to avoid panic due to shimmering
+	of the List intrep. [Bug 1670091]
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclArraySet):	Make efficient private copy of

+
+2007-03-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): changed fix to [Bug 1675116] to

+
+2007-03-09  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/platform/shell.tcl: Made more robust if an older platform
+	* library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: package is present in the inspected
+	* unix/Makefile.in: shell. Package forget it to prevent errors. Bumped
+	* win/Makefile.in: package version to 1.1.3, and updated the Makefiles

+
+2007-03-09  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Handle tricky case with loss

+
+2007-03-09  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl (ReadZoneinfoFile): Added Y2038 compliance to the
+	code for version-2 'zoneinfo' files.
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-56.3): Added a test case for Y2038 and
+	'zoneinfo'. Modified test initialisation to use the

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

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

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

+
+2007-03-07  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (TclLindex*):	Rewrites to make efficient
+	private copies of the list and indexlist arguments, so we can operate
+	on the list elements directly with no fear of shimmering effects.
+	Replaces defensive coding schemes that are otherwise required. End
+	result is that TclLindexList is entirely a wrapper around
+	TclLindexFlat, which is now the core engine of all [lindex]
+	operations.
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_AppendAllObjTypes):	Converted to simpler
+	list validity test.
+
+2007-03-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclRegexp.c (TclRegAbout): Generate information about a

+
+2007-03-07  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl: Adjusted Windows time zone table to handle new US

+
+2007-03-03  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+

+	of the pointer hackery.
+
+2007-03-02  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LreverseObjCmd):	Added missing

+	of an unshared "list" Tcl_Obj. [Bug 1672585]
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_JoinObjCmd):	Revised [join] implementation
+	to append Tcl_Obj's instead of strings. [RFE 1669420]
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Info*Cmd):	Code simplifications and
+	optimizations.
+
+2007-03-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclPrintInstruction): Added a scheme to allow
+	* generic/tclCompile.h (AuxDataPrintProc):    aux-data to be printed
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (Print*Info):	      out for debugging. For
+	this to work, immediate operands referring to aux-data must be
+	identified as such in the instruction descriptor table using
+	OPERAND_AUX4 (all are always 4 bytes).
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Rewrote the compiled
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictCmd): [dict update] so that it
+	* generic/tclCompile.h (DictUpdateInfo):     stores critical
+	* tests/dict.test (dict-21.{14,15}):	     non-varying data in an

+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ForeachObjCmd):	Rewrite to make

+
+2007-03-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+

+
+2007-02-26  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c (FreeReflectedChannel): Added the missing

+
+2007-02-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ForeachObjCmd):	Removed surplus

+
+2007-02-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Use new interface in Tcl_EvalObjEx so that the
+	recounting logic of the List internal rep need not be repeated there.
+	Better encapsulation of internal details.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	New internal routine TclListObjCopy() used
+	* generic/tclListObj.c: to efficiently do the equivalent of [lrange
+	$list 0 end]. After some experience with this, might be a good
+	candidate for exposure as a public interface. It's useful for callers
+	of Tcl_ListObjGetElements() who want to control the ongoing validity
+	of the returned objv pointer.
+
+2007-02-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/pkg.test: Added tests for the case of an alpha package

+
+2007-02-13  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tools/fix_tommath_h.tcl: Further tweaking for the x86-64. The change

+2006-12-12  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Now that the new internal structs are
+	in use to support operator commands, might as well make them the
+	default for [expr] as well and avoid passing every parsed expression
+	through the inefficient Tcl_Token array format. This addresses most
+	issues in [RFE 1517602]. Assuming no performance disasters result from
+	this, much dead code supporting the other implementation might now be
+	removed.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Final step routing all direct evaluation forms
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c: of the operator commands through TEBC,
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: dropping all the routines in tclMathOp.c.

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

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

+
+2006-12-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Added expr parsing routines that

+	currently disabled. #undef PARSE_DIRECT_EXPR_TOKENS to enable them.

+	* generic/tclBasic.c, generic/tclInterp.c, generic/tclProc.c: Silence
+	warnings from gcc over signed/unsigned and TclStackAlloc().
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Update to more compact and clearer coding style.
+
+2006-11-02  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	Further revisions to produce the routines
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	TclFormat() and TclAppendFormatToObj() that
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	accept (objc, objv) arguments rather than
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	any varargs stuff.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Further revised TclAppendPrintToObj() and
+	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: TclObjPrintf() routines to panic when unable
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	to complete their formatting operations,
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:	rather than report an error message. This
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	means an interp argument for error message
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c: recording is no longer needed, further
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: simplifying the interface for callers.
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c:
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclMain.c:

+
+2006-11-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-4.[2345]): Made robust when run in
+	directory with spaces in its name.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: Clean up uses of cast NULLs.
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (AliasObjCmd): Added more explanatory comments.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): Rewrote so that comments
+	are relevant and informative once more. Also made the unknown handler
+	processing use the Tcl execution stack for working space, and not the
+	general heap.
+
+2006-11-01  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: ensure MODULE_SCOPE is defined before use, so
+	that tclPort.h can once again be included without tclInt.h.
+
+	* generic/tclEnv.c (Darwin): mark _environ symbol as unexported even
+	when MODULE_SCOPE != __private_extern__.
+
+2006-10-31  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Refactored and renamed the routines
+	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: TclObjPrintf, TclFormatObj, and

+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:	TclAppendPrintfToObj, TclAppendFormatToObj,
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	TclObjPrintf, and TclObjFormat, with the
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c: intent of making the latter list, plus
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: TclAppendLimitedToObj and

+2006-10-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c, generic/tcl.h, generic/tclInterp.c:
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c: removing the flag bit TCL_EVAL_NOREWRITE, the
+	last remnant of the callObjc/v fiasco. It is not needed, as it is now
+	always set and checked or'ed with TCL_EVAL_INVOKE.
+
+2006-10-31  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/rules.vc: Fix for [Bug 1582769] - options conflict with VC2003.
+
+2006-10-31  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c, generic/tclNamesp.c, generic/tclProc.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Removed the callObjc and callObjv fields from the
+	Interp structure. They did not function correctly and made other parts
+	of the core amazingly complex, resulting in a substantive change to
+	[info level] behaviour. [Bug 1587618]
+	* library/clock.tcl: Removed use of [info level 0] for calculating the
+	command name as used by the user and replace with a literal. What's
+	there now is sucky, but at least appears to be right to most users.
+	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-42.7,namespace-47.1): Reverted
+	changes to these tests.
+	* tests/info.test (info-9.11,info-9.12): Added knownBug constraint
+	since these tests require a different behaviour of [info level] than
+	is possible because of other dependencies.
+
+2006-10-30  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl (option-toc): handle any kind of options
+	defined toc section (needed for ttk docs)
+
+2006-10-30  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TEOVI): insured that the interp's callObjc/v
+	fields are restored after traces run, as they be spoiled. This was
+	causing a segfault in tcllib's profiler tests.
+
+2006-10-30  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_MOD): Corrected improper testing of the
+	* tests/expr.test:		   sign of bignums when applying Tcl's
+	division rules. Thanks to Peter Spjuth. [Bug 1585704]
+
+2006-10-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (EnsembleImplementationCmd):
+	* tests/namespace.test (47.7-8): reverted a wrong "optimisation" that
+	completely broke snit; added two tests.
+
+2006-10-28  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (ObjInterpProcEx, TclObjInterpProcCore): Split the
+	core of procedures to make it easier to build procedure-like code
+	without going through horrible contortions. This is the last critical
+	component to make advanced OO systems workable as simple loadable
+	extensions. TOIPC is now in the internal stub table.
+	(MakeProcError, MakeLambdaError): Refactored ProcessProcResultCode to
+	be simpler, some of which goes to TclObjInterpProcCore, and the rest
+	of which is now in these far simpler routines which just do errorInfo
+	stack generation for different types of procedure-like entity.
+	* tests/apply.test (apply-5.1): Updated to expect the more informative
+	form of message.
+
+2006-10-27  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (HasLocalVars): New macro to make various bits and
+	pieces cleaner.
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclSetNsPath): Expose SetNsPath() through
+	internal stubs table with semi-external name.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (CallFrame): Add a field for handling context data
+	for extensions (like object systems) that should be tied to a call
+	frame (and not a command or interpreter).
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand): Change to take CONST args;
+	they were only ever used in a constant way anyway, so this appears to
+	be a spot that was missed during TIP#27 work.
+
+2006-10-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (SetLambdaFromAny): minor change, eliminate
+	redundant call to Tcl_GetString (thanks aku).
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (ApplyObjCmd):
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (EnsembleImplementationCmd): replaced ckalloc
+	(heap) with TclStackAlloc (execution stack).
+
+2006-10-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/info.test (info-9.11-12): tests for [Bug 1577492]
+	* tests/apply.test (apply-4.3-5): tests for [Bug 1574835]
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (ObjInterpProcEx): disable itcl hacks for calls
+	from ApplyObjCmd (islambda==1), as they mess apply's error messages
+	[Bug 1583266]
+
+2006-10-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (ApplyObjCmd): fix wrong#args for apply by using
+	the ensemble rewrite engine. [Bug 1574835]
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (AliasObjCmd): previous commit missed usage of
+	TCL_EVAL_NOREWRITE for aliases.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): removed redundant check
+	for ensembles. [Bug 1577628]
+
+	* library/clock.tcl (format, scan): corrected wrong # args messages to
+	* tests/clock.test (3.1, 34.1):	    make use of the new rewrite
+	capabilities of [info level]
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	   Lets TEOV update the iPtr->callObj[cv] new
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	   fields, except when the flag bit
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	   TCL_EVAL_NOREWRITE is present. These values
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	   are used by Tcl_PushCallFrame to initialise
+	* generic/tclProc.c:	   the frame's obj[cv] fields, and allows
+	* tests/namespace.test:	   [info level] to know and use ensemble
+	rewrites. [Bug 1577492]
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	The return value from [info level 0] on interp alias calls is changed:
+	previously returned the target command (including curried values), now
+	returns the source - what was actually called.
+
+2006-10-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	   Modified the Tcl call stack so there is
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	   always a valid CallFrame, even at level 0
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:	   [Patch 1577278]. Most of the changes
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	   involve removing tests for a NULL
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	   iPtr->(var)framePtr. There is now a
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	   CallFrame pushed at interp creation with a
+	* generic/tclProc.c:	   pointer to it stored in iPtr->rootFramePtr.
+	* generic/tclTrace.c:	   A second unused field in Interp is
+	* generic/tclVar.c:	   hijacked to enable further functionality,
+	currently unused (but with several FRQs depending on it).
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Any user that includes tclInt.h and needs to determine if it is
+	running at level 0 should change (iPtr->varFramePtr == NULL) to
+	(iPtr->varFramePtr == iPtr->rootFramePtr).

+2006-10-21  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h, generic/tclHash.c: Tcl_FindHashEntry now calls
+	Tcl_CreateHashEntry with a newPtr set to NULL: this would have caused
+	a segfault previously and eliminates duplicated code. A macro has been
+	added to tcl.h (only used when TCL_PRESERVE_BINARY_COMPATABALITY is
+	not set - i.e., not by default).
+
+2006-10-20  Reinhard Max  <max@tclers.tk>
+

+
+	* changes: updates for 8.5a5 release.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpThreadGetStackSize): Darwin: fix for main
+	thread, where pthread_get_stacksize_np() returns incorrect info.
+
+	* macosx/GNUmakefile: don't redo prebinding of non-prebound binaires.
+
+2006-10-16  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPkg.c (ExactRequirement):	Plugged memory leak. Also
+	changed Tcl_Alloc()/Tcl_Free() calls to ckalloc()/ckfree() for easier
+	memory debugging in the future. [Bug 1568373]
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Revise tcltest bump to 2.3a1.
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: This permits more features to be
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	added to tcltest before we reach version 2.3.0
+	* win/Makefile.in:	best timed to match the release of Tcl 8.5.0.
+	* win/makefile.vc:	This also serves as a demo of TIP 268 features
+
+2006-10-13  Colin McCormack <coldstore@users.sf.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: corrected erroneous attempt to protect against
+	NULL return from Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath per [Bug 1548263] causing
+	[Bug 1575837].
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: alfredd supplied patch to fix [Bug 1575837]
+
+2006-10-13  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+	1576006]
+
+2006-10-12  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/nmakehlp.c: Replaced all wnsprintf() calls with snprintf().
+	wnsprintf was not in my shwlapi header file (VC++6)
+
+2006-10-11  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPkg.c (Tcl_PackageRequireEx):	Corrected crash when
+	argument version=NULL passed in.
+
+2006-10-10  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes:	Updates for 8.5a5 release.
+
+	* generic/tclNamespace.c (TclTeardownNamespace):  After the
+	commandPathSourceList of a namespace is cleared, set the
+	commandPathSourceList to NULL so we don't try to walk the list a
+	second time, possibly after it is freed. [Bug 1566526]
+	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-51.16):	Added test.
+
+2006-10-09  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/UpVar.3: brough the docs in accordance to the code. Ever since
+	8.0, Tcl_UpVar(2)? accepts TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY as a flag value, and
+	var-3.4 tests for proper behaviour. The docs only allowed 0 and
+	TCL_GLOBAL_ONLY. [Bug 1574099]
+
+2006-10-09  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/*.test: updated all tests to refer explicitly to the global
+	variables ::errorInfo, ::errorCode, ::env and ::tcl_platform: many
+	were relying on the alternative lookup in the global namespace, that
+	feature is tested specifically in namespace and variable tests.
+
+	The modified testfiles are: apply.test, basic.test, case.test,

+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:
+	* generic/tclHistory.c:

+2006-09-28  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclPkg.c (CompareVersions): Bugfix. Check string lengths
+	* tests/pkg.test: before comparison. The shorter string is the smaller

+	for vcompare compared numbers of the same length with each other. [Bug
+	1563836]
+
+2006-09-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetsObj): added two test'n'panic guards for

+
+2006-09-27  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Corrected error in INST_LSHIFT in the
+	* tests/expr.test:	calculation done to determine whether a shift
+	in the (long int) type is possible. The calculation had literal value
+	"1" where it needed a value "1L" to compute the correct result. Error

+
+	* generic/tclPkg.c (CompareVersion):	Flatten strcmp() results to
+	{-1, 0, 1} to match expectations of CompareVersion() callers.
+
+2006-09-27  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/regc_color.c (singleton):
+	* generic/regc_cvec.c (addmcce):
+	* generic/regcomp.c (compile, dovec): the static function addmcce does
+	nothing when called with two NULL pointers; the only call is by
+	compile with two NULL pointers (regcomp.c #includes regc_cvec.c).
+	Large parts (all?) the code for mcce (multi character collating
+	element) that we do not use is ifdef'ed out with the macro
+	REGEXP_MCCE_ENABLE.
+	This silences coverity bugs 7, 16, 80
+
+	* generic/regc_color.c (uncolorchain):
+	* generic/regc_nfa.c (freearc): changed tests and asserts to
+	equivalent formulation, designed to avoid an explicit comparison to
+	NULL and satisfy coverity that 6 and 9 are not bugs.
+
+2006-09-27  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/pkg.test: Added test for version comparison at the 32bit
+	boundary. [Bug 1563836]
+
+	* generic/tclPkg.c: Rewrote CompareVersion to perform string
+	comparison instead of numeric. This breaks through the 32bit limit on
+	version numbers. See code for details (handling of leading zeros,
+	signs, etc.). un-CONSTed some arguments of CompareVersions,
+	RequirementSatisfied, and AllRequirementsSatisfied. The new compare
+	modifies the string (temporary string terminators). All callers use
+	heap-allocated ver-intreps, so we are good with that. [Bug 1563836]
+
+2006-09-27  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (TclGlob): added a panic for a call with
+	TCL_GLOBMODE_TAILS and pathPrefix==NULL. This would cause a segfault,
+	as found by coverity #26.
+
+2006-09-26  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* doc/Encoding.3:	 Added covariant 'const' qualifier for the
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	 Tcl_EncodingType argument to

+	* win/rules.vc:
+
+2006-09-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	As 2006-09-22 commit from Donal K. Fellows
+	demonstrates, "#define NULL 0" is just wrong, and as a quotable chat
+	figure observed, "If NULL isn't defined, we're not using a C compiler"
+	Improper fallback definition of NULL removed.
+
+2006-09-25  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	More fixing which struct stat to refer to.
+	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Some casts from time_t to int required.

+
+2006-09-25  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+

+
+2006-09-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseCommand): also return an error if

+2006-09-10  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl (msgcat::Init): on Darwin, add fallback of

+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetVariables):    current CFLocale
+	identifier if available (via private ::tcl::mac::locale global, set at

+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: add 'line' verbose level: prints source
+	* doc/tcltest.n:	       file line information of failing tests.
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: add new tclUnixCompat.c file;

+
+2006-09-08  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: Added fallback to gethostbyname() and

+	(currently for Darwin 6 or later only).
+
+	* unix/configure.in: Assume gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr() are

+
+2006-09-08  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: Fixed conditions for CopyArray/CopyString, and

+
+2006-09-07  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: Added fallback to MT-unsafe library calls if

+	Fixed alignment of arrays copied by CopyArray() to be on the
+	sizeof(char *) boundary.
+
+2006-09-07  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2006-09-04  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* doc/package.n: correct package example
+
+2006-08-31  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Corrected flawed logic for disabling
+	the INST_TRY_CVT_TO_NUMERIC instruction at the end of an expression
+	when function arguments contain operators. [Bug 1541274]
+
+	* tests/expr-old.test:	The remaining failing tests reported in
+	* tests/expr.test:	[Bug 1381715] are all new in Tcl 8.5, so
+	there's really no issue of compatibility with Tcl 8.4 result to deal
+	with. Fixed by updating tests to expect 8.5 results.
+
+2006-08-29  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	with more efficient Tcl_Eval(Obj)Ex
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in (valgrindshell): add valgrindshell target and

+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (DoGlob): match incrs with decrs.
+
+2006-08-29  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Use the "parent" field of orphan
+	ExprNodes to store the closure of left pointers. This lets us avoid
+	repeated re-scanning leftward for the left boundary of subexpressions,
+	which in worst case led to near O(N^2) runtime.
+
+2006-08-29  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: Fixed the issue (typo) that was causing

+
+2006-08-29  Colin McCormack  <coldstore@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Revised ObjPrintfVA to take care to
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	copy only whole characters when doing
+	%s formatting. This relieves callers of TclObjPrintf() and
+	TclFormatToErrorInfo() from needing to fix arguments to character
+	boundaries. Tcl_ParseExpr() simplified by taking advantage. [Bug
+	1547786]
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Corrected TclFormatObj's failure to

+
+2006-08-27  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>

+2006-08-24  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/tzdata: Regenerated, including several new files, from
+	Olson's tzdata2006j.
+	* library/clock.tcl:
+	* tests/clock.test: Removed an early testing hack that allowed loading
+	'registry' from the build tree rather than an installed one. This is a
+	workaround for [Bug 15232730], which remains open because it's a
+	symptom of a deeper underlying problem.
+
+2006-08-23  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Minimal collection of new tests

+	during that effort.
+
+2006-08-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:	Revisions to complete the thread finalization
+	of the cwdPathPtr. [Bug 1536142]
+
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Revised mistaken call to

+	msys build is possible.
+
+2006-08-21  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): if the run loop is
+	already running (e.g. if Tcl_WaitForEvent was called recursively),
+	re-run it in a custom run loop mode containing only the source for the
+	notifier thread, otherwise wakeups from other sources added to the
+	common run loop modes might get lost.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): on 64-bit Darwin,
+	pthread_cond_timedwait() appears to have a bug that causes it to wait
+	forever when passed an absolute time which has already been exceeded
+	by the system time; as a workaround, when given a very brief timeout,
+	just do a poll on that platform. [Bug 1457797]

+
+2006-08-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add support for --enable-64bit on x86_64, for

+	* macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c:
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: on Darwin x86_64, disable use of vfork as it
+	causes execve to fail intermittently. (rdar://4685553)
+
+	* generic/tclTomMath.h: on Darwin 64-bit, for now disable use of
+	128-bit arithmetic through __attribute__ ((mode(TI))), as it leads to
+	link errors due to missing fallbacks. (rdar://4685527)
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: add x86_64 to universal build,
+	switch native release targets to use DWARF with dSYM, Xcode 3.0
+	changes

+
+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/default.pbxuser: add test suite target that
+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: runs the tcl test suite at
+	build time and shows clickable test suite errors in the GUI build
+	window.
+
+	* tests/macOSXFCmd.test: fix use of deprecated resource fork paths.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): move code that is only
+	needed when TCL_LIBRARY is defined to run only in that case.
+
+	* generic/tclLink.c (LinkTraceProc): fix 64-bit signed-with-unsigned
+	comparison warning from gcc4 -Wextra.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclUnixWaitForFile): with timeout < 0, if
+	select() returns early (e.g. due to a signal), call it again instead
+	of returning a timeout result. Fixes intermittent event-13.8 failures.
+
+2006-08-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+	%Ey, and %W format groups [Bug 1505383]. Corrected a bug in cache
+	management for format strings containing [glob] metacharacters [Bug
+	1494664]. Corrected several errors in formatting/scanning of years
+	prior to the Common Era, and added the missing %EE format group to
+	indicate the era.
+	* tools/makeTestCases.tcl: Added code to make sure that %U and %V
+	format groups are included in the tests. (The code depends on %U and
+	%V formatting working correctly when 'makeTestCases.tcl' is run,
+	rather than making a completely independent check.) Added tests for
+	[glob] metacharacters in strings. Added tests for years prior to the
+	Common Era.
+	* tests/clock.test: Rebuilt with new test cases for all the above.

+
+2006-07-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier, Tcl_WaitForEvent):
+	create notifier thread lazily upon first call to Tcl_WaitForEvent()
+	rather than in Tcl_InitNotifier(). Allows calling exeve() in processes
+	where the event loop has not yet been run (Darwin's execve() fails in
+	processes with more than one thread), in particular allows embedders
+	to call fork() followed by execve(), previously the pthread_atfork()
+	child handler's call to Tcl_InitNotifier() would immediately recreate
+	the notifier thread in the child after a fork.
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c (TclMacOSXCopyFileAttributes):	   add support
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier):		   for weakly
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (Tcl_GetEncodingNameFromEnvironment): importing
+	symbols not available on OSX 10.2 or 10.3, enables binaires built on

+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: enable weak-linking; turn on
+						extra warnings.
+	* macosx/README: document how to enable weak-linking; cleanup.
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: add support for weak-linking; conditionalize
+	AvailabilityMacros.h inclusion; only disable realpath on 10.2 or
+	earlier when threads are enabled.
+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadMemoryGetBuffer): change runtime Darwin
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform):	release check to use
+							global initialized
+							once
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, TclpObjNormalizePath): add runtime
+	Darwin release check to determine if realpath is threadsafe.
+	* unix/configure.in: add check on Darwin for compiler support of weak
+	* unix/tcl.m4:	     import and for AvailabilityMacros.h header; move
+	Darwin specific checks & defines that are only relevant to the tcl
+	build out of tcl.m4; restrict framework option to Darwin; clean up

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

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

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

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

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

+	* unix/installManPage: There is always one even more broken "sed".
+	Moved the # comment starting character in the sed script to the
+	beginning of their respective lines. The AIX sed will not recognize
+	them as comments otherwise :( The actual text stays indented for
+	better association with the commands they belong to.
+
+2006-03-20  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test, tests/fCmd.test, tests/unixFCmd.test:
+	* tests/winFCmd.test: Cleanup of some test constraint handling, and a
+	few other minor issues.
+
+2006-03-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c:
+	* doc/FileSystem.3:
+	* tests/fileName.test: Fix to [Bug 1084705] so that 'glob -nocomplain'
+	finally agrees with its documentation and doesn't swallow genuine
+	errors.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for scripts that assumed '-nocomplain'
+	removes the need for 'catch' to deal with non-understood path names.
+
+	Small optimisation to implementation of pattern==NULL case of TclGlob,
+	and clarification to the documentation. [Tclvfs bug 1405317]
+
+2006-03-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test: added knownBug test case for [Bug 1394972]
+
+	* tests/winFCmd.test:
+	* tests/tcltest.test: corrected tests to better account for behaviour
+	of writable/non-writable directories on Windows 2000/XP. This, with
+	the previous patches, closes [Bug 1193497]
+
+2006-03-17  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* doc/chan.n: Updated with documentation for the commands 'chan
+	create' and 'chan postevent' (TIP #219).
+
+	* doc/refchan.n: New file. Documentation of the command handler API
+	for reflected channels (TIP #219).
+
+2006-03-17  Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: Include pthread.h prior to pthread_np.h [Bug
+	1444692]
+
+	* win/tclWinTest.c: Corrected typo of 'initializeMutex' that prevented
+	successful compilation.
+
+2006-03-16  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* doc/open.n: Documented the changed behaviour of 'a'ppend mode.
+
+	* tests/io.test (io-43.1 io-44.[1234]): Rewritten to be self-contained
+	with regard to setup and cleanup. [Bug 681793]
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclGetOpenMode): Added the flag O_APPEND to the
+	list of POSIX modes used when opening a file for 'a'ppend. This
+	enables the proper automatic seek-to-end-on-write by the OS. See [Bug
+	680143] for longer discussion.
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-13.7.*): Extended the testsuite to check the
+	new handling of 'a'.
+
+2006-03-15  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/socket.test: Extended the timeout in socket-11.11 from 10 to
+	40 seconds to allow for really slow machines. Also extended
+	actual/expected results with value of variable 'done' to make it
+	clearer when a test fails due to a timeout. [Bug 792159]
+
+2006-03-15  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/fCmd.test: add proper test constraints so the new tests don't
+	run on Unix.
+
+2006-03-14  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): Modified the processing of
+	pipebars to fail if the last bar is followed only by redirections.
+	[Bug 768659]
+
+2006-03-14  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* doc/fconfigure.n: Clarified that -translation is binary is reported
+	as lf when queried, because it is identical to lf, except for the
+	special additional behaviour when setting it. [Bug 666770]
+
+2006-03-14  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* doc/clock.n: Removed double-quotes around section title NAME; not
+	needed.
+	* unix/installManpage: Reverted part to handle double-quotes in
+	section NAME, chokes older sed installations.
+
+2006-03-14  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::Defaults): Fixed handling of environment
+	variable TCLX.y_TM_PATH, bad variable reference. Thanks to Julian
+	Noble. [Bug 1448251]
+
+2006-03-14  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: updated patch to deal with 'file writable' issues
+	on Windows XP/2000.
+	* generic/tclTest.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixTest.c:
+	* win/tclWinTest.c:
+	* tests/fCmd.test: updated test suite to deal with correct permissions
+	setting and differences between XP/2000 and 95/98 3 tests still fail;
+	to be dealt with shortly
+
+2006-03-13  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Report error when an escape encoding is
+	missing one of its sub-encodings. [Bug 506653]
+
+	* unix/configure.in:	Revert change from 2005-07-26 that sometimes
+	* unix/configure:	added $prefix/share to the tcl_pkgPath. See
+	[Patch 1231015]. autoconf-2.59.
+
+2006-03-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (ObjInterpProcEx):
+	* tests/apply.test (apply-5.1): Fix [apply] error messages so that
+	they quote the lambda expression. [Bug 1447355]
+
+2006-03-10  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	-- Summary of changes fixing [Bug 1437595] --
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c: Cosmetic touches and identation
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Added TclpFinalizeSockets() call.
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c: Calls TclpFinalizeSockets() as part of the
+	TclFinalizeIOSubsystem().
+
+	* unix/tclUnixSock.c: Added no-op TclpFinalizeSockets().
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c, win/tclWinSock.c: Finalization of sockets/pipes is
+	now solely done in TclpFinalizeSockets() and TclpFinalizePipes() and
+	not over the thread-exit handler, because the order of actions the Tcl
+	generic core will impose may result in cores/hangs if the thread exit
+	handler tears down corresponding subsystem(s) too early.
+
+2006-03-10  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: previous patch breaks tests, so removed.
+
+2006-03-09  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: fix to 'file writable' in certain XP directories.

+2006-03-07  Joe English	 <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: Set SHLIB_LD_FLAGS='${LIBS}' on NetBSD, as per the
+	other *BSD variants. [Bug 1334613]
+	* unix/configure: Regenerated.
+
+2006-03-07  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes:	Update in prep. for 8.5a4 release.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	Package http 2.5.2 requires Tcl 8.4, so the
+	* win/Makefile.in:	*.tm installation has to be placed in an "8.4"
+	directory, not an "8.2" directory.
+
+2006-03-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Revised handling of TCL_EVAL_* flags to
+	* tests/parse.test:	simplify TclEvalObjvInternal and to correct
+	the auto-loading of alias targets (parse-8.12). [Bug 1444291]
+
+2006-03-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: Revised yesterday's fix for [Bug 1379287] to
+	work on Windows.
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Compatibility support for existing code that
+	calls Tcl_GetObjType("boolean").
+
+2006-03-02  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c:		Fix for failed normalization of paths
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:	with /../ that lead back to the root
+	of the filesystem, like /foo/.. [Bug 1379287]
+
+2006-03-01  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* unix/installManPage: Fix the script for manpages that have quotes
+	around the .SH arguments, as doctools produces them. [Bug 1292145]
+	Some minor cleanups and improvements.
+
+2006-02-28  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Corrections to be sure that TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL
+	* tests/namespace.test: evaluations act the same as [uplevel #0]
+	* tests/parse.test:	evaluations, even when execution traces or
+	* tests/trace.test:	invocations of [::unknown] are present. [Bug
+	1439836]
+
+2006-02-22  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Corrected a few bugs in how [namespace
+	* tests/namespace.test: unknown] interacts with TCL_EVAL_* flags.
+	[Patch 958222]
+
+2006-02-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c: Revised error message generation and handling
+	* tests/ioCmd.test:	of exceptional return codes in the channel
+	reflection layer. [Bug 1372348]
+
+2006-02-16  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c:	Disallow the "ambiguous" error message
+	* tests/indexObj.test:		when TCL_EXACT matching is requested.
+	* tests/ioCmd.test:
+
+2006-02-15  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c:	Made several routines tolerant of
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c: interp == NULL arguments. [Bug 1380662]
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+
+2006-02-09  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	TIP#215 IMPLEMENTATION
+
+	* doc/incr.n:		Revised [incr] to auto-initialize when varName
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: argument is unset. [Patch 1413115]
+	* generic/tclVar.c:
+	* tests/compile.test:
+	* tests/incr-old.test:
+	* tests/incr.test:
+	* tests/set.test:
+
+	* tests/main.test (Tcl_Main-6.7):	Improved robustness of

+
+2006-02-08  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/Encoding.3, doc/encoding.n: Updates due to review at request of
+	Don Porter. Mostly minor changes.
+
+2006-02-08  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	TIP#258 IMPLEMENTATION
+
+	* doc/Encoding.3:	New subcommand [encoding dirs].
+	* doc/encoding.n:	New routine Tcl_GetEncodingNameFromEnvironment
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	Made public:

+2006-01-26  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/dict.n: Fixed silly bug in example. Thanks to Heiner Marxen
+	<heiner.marxen@unsel.de> for catching this! [Bug 1415725]
+
+2006-01-26  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel): Tidy up and comment the
+	mess to do with setting up serial channels. This (deliberately) breaks
+	a broken FreeBSD port, indicates what we're really doing, and reduces
+	the amount of conditional compilation sections for better maintenance.
+
+2006-01-25  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): Improved conditions on when
+	to update the FP rounding mode on FreeBSD, taken from FreeBSD port.
+
+2006-01-23  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/string.test (string-12.21): Added test for [Bug 1410553] based
+	on original bug report.
+
+2006-01-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c: fixed incorrect handling of internal rep in
+	Tcl_GetRange. Thanks to twylite and Peter Spjuth. [Bug 1410553]
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c: fixed args handling for precompiled bodies [Bug
+	1412695]; thanks to Uwe Traum.
+
+2006-01-16  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* generic/tclPipe.c (FileForRedirect): Prevent nameString from being
+	freed without having been initialized.
+	* tests/exec.test: Added a test for the above.
+
+2006-01-12  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c (Tcl_FSGetInternalRep): backported patch from
+	core-8-4-branch. A freed pointer has been overwritten causing all
+	sorts of coredumps.
+
+2006-01-12  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: fix to sharing violation [Bug 1366227]
+
+2006-01-11  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Moved Tcl_LogCommandInfo from tclBasic.c to
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	tclNamesp.c to get access to identifier with
+	* tests/error.test (error-7.0): file scope. Added check for traces on
+	::errorInfo, and when present fall back to contruction of the stack
+	trace in the variable so that write trace notification timings are
+	compatible with earlier Tcl releases. This reduces, but does not
+	completely eliminate the ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** created by
+	the 2004-10-15 commit. [Bug 1397843]
+
+2006-01-10  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure:    add caching, use AC_CACHE_CHECK instead of
+	* unix/configure.in: AC_CACHE_VAL where possible, consistent message
+	* unix/tcl.m4:	     quoting, sync relevant tclconfig/tcl.m4 changes
+	and gratuitous formatting differences, fix SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES with
+	default argument, Darwin improvements to SC_LOAD_*CONFIG.
+
+2006-01-09  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceInscopeCmd):	[namespace inscope]
+	* tests/namespace.test: commands were not reported by [info level].
+	[Bug 1400572]
+
+2006-01-09  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclTrace.c: Stop exporting the guts of the trace command;
+	nothing outside this file needs to see it. [Bug 971336]
+
+2006-01-05  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (TCL_CONFIG_SYSTEM): Factor out the code to determine
+	the operating system version number, as it was replicated in several
+	places.
+
+2006-01-04  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c: WIN32 native console signal handler removed. This
+	was found to be interfering with TWAPI extension one. IMO, special
+	services such as signal handlers should best be done with extensions
+	to the core after discussions on c.l.t. about Roy Terry's tclsh
+	children of a real windows service shell.

+
+	* generic/tclZlib.c (Tcl_ZlibStreamGet): Corrected the semantics of
+	this function to be useful to the PNG implementation. If the argument
+	object is empty, this gives the previous semantics.
+	(Tcl_ZlibStreamChecksum): Corrected name to be less misleading; it
+	only produced Adler-32 checksums when the stream was processing the
+	right type of compressed data format.
+	(Tcl_ZlibAdler32, Tcl_ZlibCRC32): Corrected types so that they work

+	effort correlating with TIPs and ChangeLogs.

+				bug in the Makefile revealed by the last

+				fire to try to build the static library in a
+				--enable-shared build (and create a static
+				library that subsequently fails to link).
+				Revised the zlib objects so that they are
+				built directly into the build dir, without

+				*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** for
+				embedders who link to the static library, but

+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Fix tailcalls falling out of tebc into
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Tcl_EvalEx. [Bug 2017946]
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+
+2008-08-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOO.c:	Revised TclOO's check for an interp being
+	deleted during handling of object command deletion. The old code was
+	relying on documented features of command delete traces that do not in
+	fact work. [Bug 2039178]
+
+	* tests/oo.test (oo-26.*):	Added tests that demonstrate failure
+	of TclOO to check for various kinds of invalid bytecode during method
+	dispatch. [Bug 2037727]
+
+2008-08-06  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupSimpleVar): Fix bug that the core could
+	not trigger before TclOO: the number of locals was being read from the
+	Proc, which can under some circumstance be out of sync with the
+	localCache's. Found by dgp while investigating [Bug 2037727].
+
+	* library/init.tcl (::unknown): Removed the [namespace inscope]
+	hack that was maintained for Itcl
+
+	*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** for Itcl
+	Itcl users will need a new release with Itcl's [Patch 2040295], or
+	else load the tiny script in that patch by themselves (rewrite
+	::unknown). Note that it is a script-only patch.
+
+2008-08-05  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: Streamline async connect logic [Patch 1994512]
+
+2008-08-05  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Fix for [Bug 2038069] by dgp.
+	* tests/execute.test:
+
+2008-08-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/nre.test: Added tests for [if], [while] and [for]. A test
+	for [foreach] has been added and marked as knownbug, awaiting for it
+	to be NR-enabled.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	   Made atProcExit commands run
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:	   unconditionally, streamlined
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	   atProcExit/tailcall processing in TEBC.
+	* generic/tclProc.c:

+
+2008-08-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+	fallback to direct evaluation of commands in a compiled script.
+	[Bug 2037338]
+
+2008-08-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	   New unsupported command atProcExit that
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:	   shares the implementation with tailcall.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	   Fixed a segfault in tailcalls. Tests added.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
+	* tests/unsupported.test:
+
+2008-08-02  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/NRE.test (removed):	Migrated tests to standard locations,
+	* tests/nre.test (new):		separating core functionality from the
+	* tests/unsupported.test (new):	experimental commands.
+
+2008-08-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* doc/Exit.3:			Do not call Tcl_Finalize implicitly
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:		on DLL_PROCESS_DETACH as it may lead
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (DllMain):	to issues and the user should be
+	explicitly calling Tcl_Finalize before unloading regardless. Clarify
+	the docs to note the explicit need in embedded use.
+
+2008-08-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Revised timing of the CmdFrame stack
+	* tests/info.test:	management in TclEvalEx so that the CmdFrame
+	will still be on the stack at the time Tcl_LogCommandInfo is called to
+	append another level of -errorinfo information. Sets the stage to add
+	file and line data to the stack trace. Added test to check that [info
+	frame] functioning remains unchanged by the revision.
+
+2008-07-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/NRE.test:  Replaced all deep-recursing tests by shallower
+	tests that actually measure the C-stack depth. This makes them
+	bearable again (even under memdebug) and avoid crashing on failure.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	NR-enabling [catch], [if] and [for] and
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	[while] (the script, not the tests)
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* tests/NRE.test:
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Moved the few remaining defs from tclNRE.h to
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c: tclInt.h, eliminated inclusion of tclNRE.h
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: everywhere.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:

+2008-07-30  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	 Improved tailcalls.

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* generic/tclTest.c:
+	* tests/NRE.test:
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclNREvalObjEx): New comments and code reorg
+	to clarify what is happening.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Guard against the value of iPtr->evalFlags
+	changing between the times where TEOV and TEOV_exception run. Thanks
+	dgp for catching this.
+
+2008-07-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/NRE.test: New tests that went MIA in the NRE revamping
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Clean up
+	* generic/tclNRE.h:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Made use of the thread's alloc cache stored in
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	the ekeko at interp creation to avoid hitting
+	* generic/tclNRE.h:	the TSD each time an NRE callback is pushed or
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: pulled; the approach is suitably general
+	to extend to every other obj allocation where an interp is know; this
+	is left for some other time, requires a lot of grunt work.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	 Fix [Bug 2030670] that cause TclStackRealloc
+	to panic on rare corner cases. Thx ajpasadyn for diagnose and patch.
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	 Completely revamped NRE implementation, with
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	 (almost) unchanged API.
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	 TEBC will require a bit of a facelift, but
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:	 TEOV at least looks great now. There are new
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	 tests (incomplete!) to verify that execution
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	 is indeed in the same TEBC instance, at the
+	* generic/tclNRE.h:	 same level in all stacks involved. Tailcalls
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	 are still a bit leaky, still deserving to be
+	* generic/tclOOBasic.c:	 in tcl::unsupported.
+	* generic/tclOOMethod.c:
+	* generic/tclProc.c:	 Uninit'd var warnings in TEBC with -O2, no
+	* generic/tclTest.c:	 warnings otherwise.
+
+2008-07-28  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3:		CONSTified many functions using
+	* generic/tcl.decls:		Tcl_FileSystem which all are supposed
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:		to be a constant, but this was not
+	* generic/tclFileSystem.h:	reflected in the API: Tcl_FSData,
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:		Tcl_FSGetInternalRep, Tcl_FSRegister,
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c:		Tcl_FSNewNativePath, Tcl_FSUnregister,
+	* generic/tclTest.c:		Tcl_FSGetFileSystemForPath ...
+	This change complies with TIP #27.
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+
+2008-07-28  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Added missing ref count when creating an empty
+	string as path (TclEvalEx). In 8.4 the missing code caused panics in
+	the testsuite. It doesn't in 8.5. I am guessing that the code path
+	with the missing the incr-refcount is not invoked any longer. Because
+	the bug in itself is certainly the same.
+
+2008-07-27  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOOMethod.c (PushMethodCallFrame): Remove hack that should
+	have gone when this code was merged into Tcl.
+
+2008-07-27  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/Object.3:		CONSTified 3 functions using Tcl_ObjType
+	* doc/ObjectType.3:	which all are supposed to be a constant, but
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	this was not reflected in the API:
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Tcl_RegisterObjType, Tcl_ConvertToType,
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	Tcl_GetObjType
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Introduced a CONST86_RETURN, so extensions
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: which use Tcl_ObjType directly can be
+	* generic/tclOOMethod.c: modified to compile against both Tcl 8.5 and
+	* generic/tclTestobj.c:	Tcl 8.6. tclDecls.h regenerated
+	This change complies with TIP #27.
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+
+2008-07-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* test/info.test: More work on singleTestInterp usability. [1605269]
+
+	* tests/info.test: Tests 38.* added, exactly testing the tracking of
+	location for uplevel scripts. Resolved merge conflict on info-37.0,
+	switched !singleTestInterp constraint to glob matching instead. Ditto
+	info-22.8, removed constraint, more glob matching, and reduced the
+	depth of the stack we check. More is coming, right now I want to
+	commit the bug fixes.
+
+	* tests/oo.test: Updated oo-22.1 for expanded location tracking.
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclInitCompileEnv): Reorganized the
+	initialization of the #280 location information to match the flow in
+	TclEvalObjEx to get more absolute contexts.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjEx): Added missing cleanup of extended
+	location information.
+
+2008-07-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/info.test (info-37.0): Add !singleTestInterp constraint;
+	(info-22.8, info-23.0): switch to glob matching to avoid sensitivity
+	to tcltest.tcl line number changes, remove knownBug constraint, fix
+	expected result. [Bug 1605269]
+
+2008-07-24  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/Notifier.3:      CONSTified 4 functions in the Notifier which
+	* doc/Thread.3:	       all have a Tcl_Time* in it which is supposed
+	* generic/tcl.decls:   to be a constant, but this was not reflected
+	* generic/tcl.h:       reflected in the API:
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	    Tcl_SetTimer, Tcl_WaitForEvent,
+	* generic/tclNotify.c:	    Tcl_ConditionWait, Tcl_SetMaxBlockTime
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c:
+	* generic/tclThread.c: Introduced a CONST86, so extensions which have
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: have their own Notifier (are there any?) can
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:  can be modified to compile against both Tcl
+	* win/tclWinNotify.c:  Tcl 8.5 and Tcl 8.6
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c:    Regenerated tclDecls.h with "make stubs".
+	This change complies with TIP #27
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+
+2008-07-23  Alexandre Ferrieux  <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/lrange.test: Added relative speed test to check for lrange
+	in-place optimization committed 2008-06-30.
+	* tests/binary.test: Added relative speed test to check for pure byte
+	array CONCAT1 optimization committed 2008-06-30.
+
+2008-07-23  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/info.test: Reordered the tests to have monotonously increasing
+	numbers.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Modified TclArgumentGet to reject pure lists
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: immediately, without search. Reworked setup of
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: eoFramePtr, doesn't need the line information,
+	* tests/info.test: more sensible to have everything on line 1 when
+	eval'ing a pure list. Updated the users of the line information to
+	special case this based on the frame type (i.e.
+	TCL_LOCATION_EVAL_LIST). Added a testcase demonstrating the new
+	behaviour.
+
+2008-07-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (GetCommandSource): Added comment with
+	explanation and warning for waintainers.
+
+2008-07-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: Made the new TclEnterCmdWordIndex static, and
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: ansified.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Ansified the new functions. Added missing
+	function comments.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Reworked the handling of bytecode literals for
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: #280 to fix the abysmal performance for deep
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: recursion, replaced the linear search through
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: the whole stack with another hashtable and
+	* generic/tclInt.h: simplified the data structure used by the compiler
+	by using an array instead of a hashtable. Incidentially this also
+	fixes the memory leak reported via [Bug 2024937].
+
+2008-07-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	 Added numLevels field to CommandFrame, let
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	 GetCommandSource use it. This solves [Bug
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	 2017146]. Thx dgp for the analysis.
+
+2008-07-21  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Extended the existing TIP #280 system (info
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: frame), added the ability to track the absolute
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: location of literal procedure arguments, and
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: making this information available to uplevel
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: eval, and siblings. This allows proper
+	* generic/tclInterp.c: tracking of absolute location through custom
+	* generic/tclInt.h: (Tcl-coded) control structures based on uplevel,
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c: etc.
+	* generic/tclProc.c:

+
+2008-07-21  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	  Changed the implementation of
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	  [namespace import]; removed
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	  Tcl_NRObjProc, replaced with
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	  Tcl_NRCmdSwap (proposed public
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	  NRE API). This should fix

+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	 NRE: enabled calling NR commands
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	 from the callbacks. Completely
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	 redone tailcall implementation

+
+2008-07-20  Kevin B. Kenny  <kenykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/fileName.test: Repaired the failing test fileName-15.7 from
+	dkf's commit earlier today.
+
+2008-07-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (SetDictFromAny): Make the list->dict
+	transformation a bit more efficient; modern dicts are ordered and so
+	we can round-trip through lists without needing the string rep at all.
+	* generic/tclListObj.c (SetListFromAny): Make the dict->list
+	transformation not lossy of internal representations and hence more
+	efficient. [Bug 2008248] (ajpasadyn) but using a more efficient patch.
+
+	* tests/fileName.test: Revise to reduce the obscurity of tests. In
+	particular, all tests should now produce informative messages on
+	failure and the quantity of [catch]-based obscurity is now greatly
+	reduced; non-erroring is now checked for directly.
+
+2008-07-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/env.test: Add LANG to the list of variables that are not
+	touched by the environment variable tests, so that subprocesses can
+	get their system encoding correct.
+
+	* tests/exec.test, tests/env.test: Rewrite so that non-ASCII
+	characters are not used in the final comparison. Part of fixing [Bug
+	1513659].
+
+2008-07-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

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

+
+	* library/package.tcl:	Removed [file readable] testing from

+
+	* generic/regc_nfa.c (duptraverse): Impose a maximum stack depth on

+2008-06-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: Fixed bug in Tcl_GetTranslatedPath() when
+	operating on the "Special path" variant of the "path" Tcl_ObjType
+	intrep. A full normalization was getting done, in particular, coercing
+	relative paths to absolute, contrary to what the function of producing

+
+2008-06-16  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (TclInfoFrame): Moved the code looking up the

+	compilation. [Bug 1987851]
+
+2008-06-16  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/ioTrans.test (iortrans-11.*): Fixed same issue as for

+
+	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.
+
+2008-06-12  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:		Add complete deps on tclDTrace.h.
+

+	* macosx/README:			Document new build configs.
+
+2008-06-10  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c(UtfToUtfProc): Avoid unwanted sign extension
+	when converting incomplete UTF-8 sequences. See [Bug 1908443] for
+	details.
+
+2008-06-10  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/ioTrans.test (iortrans.tf-6.1): Fixed the [Bug 1988552],
+	reported by Kevin. Have to close the channel before removal of the
+	file. Fixed same bug in test 'iortrans.tf-11.0', after fixing missing
+	cleanup of the file in 'iortrans.tf-11.*'. Lastly fixed the names of
+	the threaded tests 'iortrans-8.*' to the correct 'iortrans.tf-8.*'.
+
+2008-06-09  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIORTrans.c (ReflectInput): Fixed a bug triggered by Pat
+	Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>. Reset the EOF flag after
+	draining the Tcl level into the result buffer, to make sure that the
+	result buffer will be drained as well by repeated calls to
+	ReflectInput should it contain more than one buffer-full of data.
+	Without that reset the higher I/O system will not call on ReflectInput
+	anymore due to the assumed EOF, thus losing the data which did not fit
+	in the buffer of the call which caused the eof and drain.
+
+2008-06-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOOCall.c (TclOOGetSortedMethodList): Plug memory leak
+	that occurred when all methods were hidden. [Bug 1987817]
+
+2008-06-08  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	   Compilation of uplevel scripts, allow

+	* win/makefile.vc:  Integration of new files into build rules.
+
+	NOTE: The file 'tclIORTrans.c' has a lot of code in common with the
+	      file 'tclIORChan.c', as that made it much easier to develop the
+	      reference implementation as a separate module. Now that the

+
+2008-06-01  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
+

+
+2008-06-01  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+	* win/Makefile.in, win/makefile.bc, win/makefile.vc: Build support for
+	Win32, from Joe Mistachkin. [Patch 1980861]
+
+	* generic/tclOO*, doc/*, tests/oo.test: Port of implementation of
+	TclOO to sit directly inside Tcl. Note that this is incomplete (e.g.
+	no build support yet for Windows).
+
+2008-05-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/io.test (io-53.9): Need to close chan before removing file.
+
+2008-05-26  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* win/makefile.bc:		    Remove deprecated winhelp target.
+	* win/Makefile.in, win/makefile.vc: It didn't work correctly anyway.
+
+2008-05-23  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (FileWideSeekProc): Accepted a patch by Alexandre
+	Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> to fix the [Bug 1965787].
+	'tell' now works for locations > 2 GB as well instead of going
+	negative.
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize): Accepted a patch by
+	* tests/io.test: Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
+	* tests/chanio.test: to fix the [Bug 1969953]. Buffersize outside of
+	the supported range are now clipped to nearest boundary instead of
+	ignored.
+
+2008-05-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_LogCommandInfo):	Restored ability to
+	handle the argument value length = -1. Thanks to Chris Darroch for
+	discovering the bug and providing the fix. [Bug 1968245]
+
+2008-05-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (ParseComment):	The new TclParseAllWhiteSpace
+	* tests/parse.test (parse-15.60):	routine has no mechanism to
+	return the "incomplete" status of "\\\n" so calling this routine
+	anywhere that can be reached within a Tcl_ParseCommand() call is a
+	mistake. In particular, ParseComment() must not use it. [Bug 1968882]
+
+2008-05-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_SetNamespaceUnknownHandler): Corrected odd
+	logic for handling installation of namespace unknown handlers which
+	could lead too very strange things happening in the error case.
+
+2008-05-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: Fix crash with tcl_traceExec. Found and fixed
+	by Alexander Pasadyn. [Bug 1964803]
+
+2008-05-15  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: We should use the thread allocator for threaded
+	* win/rules.vc:	   builds. Added 'tclalloc' option to disable.
+
+2008-05-09  George Peter Staplin  <georgeps@xmission.com>
+
+	* tools/tsdPerf.c:	A loadable Tcl extension for testing TSD
+	performance.
+	* tools/tsdPerf.tcl:	A simplistic tool that uses the thread
+	extension and tsdPerf.so to get some performance metrics by,
+	simulating, simple TSD contention.
+
+2008-05-09  George Peter Staplin  <georgeps@xmission.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Make Tcl_ThreadDataKey a void *.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Change around some function names and add some
+	new per-platform declarations for thread-specific data functions.
+	* generic/tclThread.c:	Make use of of the new function names that no
+	longer have a Tclp prefix.
+	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: Replace the core thread-specific data
+	(TSD) mechanism with an array offset solution that eliminates the hash
+	tables, and only uses one slot of native TSD. Many thanks to Kevin B.
+	Kenny for his help with this.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:	Add platform-specific TSD functions for use by
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c:	tclThreadStorage.c.
+
+2008-05-09  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/dict.test (dict-19.2): Corrected a bug where the test was
+	changed to use [apply] instead of a temporary proc, but the cleanup
+	script still attempted to delete the temporary proc.
+
+2008-05-07  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@cspool38.cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictAppendCmd): Fix silly off-by
+	one error that caused a crash every time a compiled 'dict append' with
+	more than one argument was used. Found by Colin McCormack.
+
+2008-05-02  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	 Converted the [binary] command into an
+	* generic/tclBinary.c:	 ensemble.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* test/binary.test:	 Updated the error tests for ensemble errors.
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: Reverted accidental commit of TIP 316 APIs.
+
+2008-04-27  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* */*.c: A large tranche of getting rid of pre-C89-isms; if your
+	compiler doesn't support things like proper function declarations,
+	'void' and 'const', borrow a proper one when building Tcl. (The header
+	files allow building things that link against Tcl with really ancient
+	compilers still; the requirement is just when building Tcl itself.)
+
+2008-04-26  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclAsync.c: Tcl_AsyncDelete(): panic if attempt to locate
+	handler token fails. Happens when some other thread attempts to delete
+	somebody else's token.
+
+	Also, panic early if we find out the wrong thread attempting to delete
+	the async handler (common trap). As, only the one that created the
+	handler is allowed to delete it.
+
+2008-04-24  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test: Extended testsuite for reflected channel
+	implementation. Added test cases about how it handles if the rug is
+	pulled out from under a channel (= killing threads, interpreters
+	containing the tcl command for a channel, and channel sitting in a
+	different interpreter/thread.)
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c: Fixed the bugs exposed by the new testcases,
+	redone most of the cleanup and exit handling.
+
+2008-04-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:		Removed all code delimited by
+	* generic/tclTest.c:		USE_OBSOLETE_FS_HOOKS, completing
+	* tests/ioCmd.test:		the deprecation path for these
+	* tests/ioUtil.test (removed):	obsolete interfaces. (Code was active
+	in Tcl 8.4, present but enabled only by customized compile switch in
+	Tcl 8.5, and now completely gone for Tcl 8.6). Also removed all tests
+	relevant only to the removed interfaces.
+
+2008-04-19  George Peter Staplin  <georgeps@xmission.com>
+
+	* doc/Ensemble.3: Fix a typo: s/defiend/defined/
+	Thanks to hat0 for spotting this.
+
+2008-04-16  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:		Make stubs tables 'static const' and
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:	export only module-scope pointers to
+	* generic/tclStubLib.c:		the main stubs tables (for package
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl:		initialization). [Patch 1938497]
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp):
+	* generic/tclTomMathInterface.c (TclTommath_Init):
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:		Revise Tcl_SetNotifier() to use a
+	* generic/tclNotify.c:		module-scope hooks table instead of
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:	runtime stubs-table modification;
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c:	ensure all hookable notifier functions
+	* win/tclWinNotify.c:		check for hooks; remove hook checks in
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:		notifier API callers. [Patch 1938497]
+
+2008-04-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (CopyData):	Applied another patch by Alexandre
+	* io.test (io-53.8a):		Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sf.net>,
+	* chanio.test (chan-io-53.8a):	to shift EOF handling to the async
+	part of the command if a callback is specified, should the channel be
+	at EOF already when fcopy is called. Testcase by myself.
+
+2008-04-15  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	Adjust tclDTrace.h dependencies for removal
+				of tclStubLib.o from TCL_OBJS. [Bug 1942795]
+
+2008-04-14  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (NativeGetTime): Removed obsolete use of
+	'struct timezone' in the call to 'gettimeofday'. [Bug 1942197]
+
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-33.5, clock-33.5a, clock-33.8, clock-33.8a):
+	Added comments to the test that it can fail on a heavily loaded
+	system.
+
+2008-04-10  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Keeping check for negative
+	values, changed to not be an error, but behave like the special value
+	-1 (copy all, default).
+
+	* tests/iocmd.test (iocmd-15.{12,13}): Removed.
+
+	* tests/io.test (io-52.5{,a,b}): Reverted last change, added
+	* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-52.5{,a,b}): comment regarding the
+	meaning of -1, added two more testcases for other negative values,
+	and input wrapped to negative.
+
+2008-04-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/{fCmd,unixFCmd,winFCmd,winFile}.test: Tidying up of the test
+	suite to make better use of tcltest2 and be clearer about what is
+	being tested.
+
+	* win/Makefile.in (html): Added target for doing convenient
+	documentation builds, mirroring the one from unix/Makefile.
+
+2008-04-09  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-52.5): Removed '-size -1' from test,
+	* tests/io.test (io-52.5): does not seem to have any bearing, and was
+	an illegal value. Test case is not affected by the value of -size,
+	test flag restoration and that evrything was properly copied.
+
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Added checking of -size value
+	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-15.{13,14}): to reject negative values, and
+	values overflowing 32-bit signed. Basic patch by Alexandre Ferrieux
+	<ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>, with modifications from me to
+	separate overflow from true negative value. Extended testsuite. [Bug
+	1557855]
+
+2008-04-09  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-53.8,53.9,53.10): Fix typo & quoting for
+	* tests/io.test (io-53.8,53.9,53.10):	       spaces in builddir path
+
+2008-04-08  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Added comments to the alignment macros used in
+	GrowEvaluationStack() and friends.
+
+2008-04-08  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl:	Revert erroneous 2008-04-02 change marking
+				*StubsPtr as EXTERN instead of extern.
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	make genstubs
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:

+
+2008-04-07  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/io.test (io-53.10): Testcase for bi-directional fcopy.
+	* tests/chanio.test:
+	* generic/tclIO.c: Additional changes to data structures for fcopy and
+	* generic/tclIO.h: channels to perform proper cleanup in case of a
+	channel having two background copy operations running as is now
+	possible.
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (BUSY_STATE, CheckChannelErrors, TclCopyChannel):
+	New macro, and the places using it. This change allows for
+	bi-directional fcopy on channels. Thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux
+	<ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch. [Bug 1350564]
+
+2008-04-07  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendFormatToObj): Fix [format {% d}]
+	so that it behaves the same way as in 8.4 and as C's printf().
+	* tests/format.test: Add a test for '% d' and '%+d'.
+
+2008-04-05  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: (WinSymLinkDirectory): Fixed a problem that Tcl
+	was creating an NTFS junction point (IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT) but
+	filling in the union member for a Vista symbolic link. We had gotten
+	away with this error because the union member
+	(SymbolicLinkReparseBuffer) was misdefined in this file and in the
+	'winnt.h' in early versions of MinGW. MinGW 3.4.2 has the correct
+	definition of SymbolicLinkReparseBuffer, exposing the mismatch, and
+	making tests cmdAH-19.4.1, fCmd-28.*, and filename-11.* fail.
+	* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-53.9):
+	* tests/io.test (io-53.9): Made test cleanup robust against the
+	possibility of slow process shutdown on Windows.
+
+	* win/tcl.m4: Added -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE and
+	-DCRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE to the MSVC compilation flags so that the
+	compilation doesn't barf on perfectly reasonable Posix system calls.
+	* win/configure: Manually patched (don't have the right autoconf to
+	hand).
+
+2008-04-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/io.test (io-53.9): Added testcase for [Bug 780533], based
+	* tests/chanio.test: on Alexandre's test script. Also fixed problem
+	with timer in preceding test, was not canceled properly in the ok case
+
+2008-04-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectOutput): Allow zero return from write
+	when input was zero-length anyway. Otherwise keept it an error, and
+	separate the message from 'written too much'.
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-24.6): Testcase updated for changed message.
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectClose): Added missing removal of the
+	now closed channel from the reflection map. Before we could crash the
+	system by invoking 'chan postevent' on a closed reflected channel,
+	dereferencing the dangling pointer in the map.
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-31.8): Testcase for the above.
+
+2008-04-03  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Applied patch [Bug 1932639] to
+	* tests/io.test: prevent fcopy from calling -command synchronously
+	* tests/chanio.test: the first time. Thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux
+	<ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> for report and patch.
+
+2008-04-02  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	Remove 'export' declarations of symbols now
+				only in libtclstub and no longer in libtcl.
+
+	* generic/tclStubLib.c:	Make symbols in libtclstub.a MODULE_SCOPE to
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl:	avoid exporting them from libraries that link
+				with -ltclstub; constify tcl*StubsPtr and stub
+				table hook pointers. [Bug 1819422]

+	case.
+
+2008-04-01  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclStrToD.c: Applied patch for [Bug 1839067] (fp rounding

+			       Michael Schlenker.
+
+2008-04-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2008-03-30  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclIsNaN):
+	* unix/configure.in: Added code to the configurator to check for a
+			     standard isnan() macro and use it if one is
+			     found. This change avoids bugs where the test of
+			     ((d) != (d)) is optimized away by an
+			     overaggressive compiler. [Bug 1783544]
+	* generic/tclObj.c: Added missing #include <math.h> needed to locate
+			    isnan() after the above change.
+
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.61
+
+	* tests/mathop.test (mathop-25.9, mathop-25.14): Modified tests to

+	incorrectly rounded result. [Bug 1808174]
+
+2008-03-26  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2008-03-28  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+

+
+2008-03-21  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/switch.n: Clarified documentation in respect of two-argument

+
+2008-03-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h, generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: Tidied up the declarations
+	of Tcl_GetMemoryInfo so that it is always defined. Will panic when

+	which is OK because that also indicates a serious mismatch between
+	memory configuration options.
+
+2008-03-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h, generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (Tcl_GetMemoryInfo): Make
+	sure this function is available when direct linking. [Bug 1868171]
+
+	* tests/reg.test (reg-33.14): Marked nonPortable because some

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

+
+2008-03-18  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::Defaults): Modified handling of
+	environment variables. Solution slightly different than proposed in
+	the report. Using the underscored form TCLX_y_TM_PATH even if
+	TCLX.y_TM_PATH exists. Also using a loop to cut prevent code
+	replication. [Bug 1914604]

+2008-03-16  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictForCmd): Correct the handling

+	simple-minded code doing the calculations). [Bug 1903325]
+
+	* doc/lreplace.n: Clarified documentation of what happens with
+	negative indices. [Bug 1905809] Added example, tidied up formatting.
+
+2008-03-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (OldMathFuncProc):	Same workaround protection
+	from bad TclStackAlloc() alignment. Thanks George Peter Staplin.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd):	Use ckalloc() to allocate
+	SortElement arrays instead of TclStackAlloc() which isn't getting
+	alignment right. Workaround for [Bug 1914503].
+
+2008-03-14  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c:  Ignore the return value of write() when we are

+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (LoadEscapeEncoding): Avoid leaking escape
+	sub-encodings, fixes encoding-11.1 failing after iso2022-jp loaded.
+	[Bug 1893053]
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: Avoid using CoreFoundation after fork() on
+	Darwin 9 even when TclpCreateProcess() uses vfork().
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj:	Add support for Xcode 3.1 and
+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/default.pbxuser:	configs for building with

+
+2008-03-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclDeleteNamespaceVars):
+	* tests/var.test (var-8.2): Unset traces on vars should be called with
+	a FQ named during namespace deletion. This was causing infinite loops
+	when unset traces recreated the var, as reported by Julian Noble. [Bug
+	1911919]
+
+2008-03-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes:		Updated for 8.5.2 release.
+
+	* doc/http.n:	Revised to indicate that [package require http 2.5.5]
+	is needed to get all the documented commands ([http::meta]).
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (TclDefaultBgErrorHandlerObjCmd):	Added error
+	* tests/event.test (event-5.*):	checking to protect against callers
+	passing invalid return options dictionaries. [Bug 1901113]
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (ExprAbsFunc):	Revised so that the abs()
+	* tests/expr.test:	function and the [::tcl::mathfunc::abs]
+	command do not return the value of -0, or equivalent values with more
+	alarming string reps like -1e-350. [Bug 1893815]
+
+2008-03-07  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (ReleaseKeys): Workaround for [Bug 1904907].
+	Reset the return option keys to NULL to allow full re-initialization
+	by GetKeys(). This introduces a memory leak for the key objects, but
+	gets us around a crash in the finalization of reflected channels when
+	handling returns, either at compile- or runtime. In both cases we
+	access the keys after they have been released by their thread exit
+	handler. A proper fix is entangled with the untangling of the
+	finalization ordering and attendant issues. For now we choose the
+	lesser evil.
+
+2008-03-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (Tcl_ExprObj):	Revised expression bytecode
+	compiling so that bytecodes invalid due to changing context or due to
+	the difference between expressions and scripts are not reused. [Bug
+	1899164]
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	Revised direct evaluation implementation of
+	[expr] so that [expr $e] caches compiled bytecodes for the expression
+	as the intrep of $e.
+
+	* tests/execute.test (execute-6.*):	More tests checking that
+	script bytecode is invalidated in the right situations.
+
+2008-03-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* win/configure.in: Add AC_HEADER_STDC to support msys/win64.
+
+2008-03-06  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/namespace.n: Minor tidying up. [Bug 1909019]
+
+2008-03-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/execute.test (6.3,4):	Added tests for [Bug 1899164].
+
+2008-03-03  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: Fix mark and space parity on Linux, which uses
+	CMSPAR instead of PAREXT.
+
+2008-03-02  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (GetNamespaceFromObj):
+	* tests/interp.test (interp-28.2): Spoil the intrep of an nsNameType
+	obj when the reference crosses interpreter boundaries.
+
+2008-02-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_SetReturnOptions):	Revised the refcount
+	management of Tcl_SetReturnOptions to become that of a conventional
+	Consumer routine. Thanks to Peter Spjuth for pointing out the
+	difficulties calling Tcl_SetReturnOptions with non-0-count value for
+	options.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_RETURN_STK): Revised the one caller
+	within Tcl itself which passes a non-0-count value to
+	Tcl_SetReturnOptions().
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo):	Revised the
+	refcount management of Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo to become that of a
+	conventional Consumer routine. This preserves the ease of use for the
+	overwhelming common callers who pass in a 0-count value, but makes the
+	proper call with a non-0-count value less surprising.
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (TclDefaultBgErrorHandlerObjCmd):	Revised the
+	one caller within Tcl itself which passes a non-0-count value to
+	Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo().
+
+2008-02-28  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclPort.h, unix/tclCompat.h, unix/tclUnixChan.h: Reduce scope
+	of <sys/filio.h> and <sys/ioctl.h> #includes. [Patch 1903339]
+
+2008-02-28  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c, unix/tclUnixNotfy.c, unix/tclUnixPipe.c:
+	Consolidate all code conditionalized on -DUSE_FIONBIO into one place.

+	TclUnixSetBlockingMode(). [Patch 1903339]
+
+2008-02-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal):	Plug memory leak when
+	an enter trace deletes or changes the command, prompting a reparsing.
+	Don't let the second pass lose commandPtr value allocated during the
+	first pass.
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (ParseExpr):	Plug memory leak in error
+	message generation.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendFormatToObj): [format %llx $big]
+	leaked an mp_int.
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd):	The 2007-10-18 commit
+	to optimize compiled [return -level 0 $x] [RFE 1794073] introduced a
+	memory leak of the return options dictionary. Fixing that.
+
+2008-02-27  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/http/http.tcl: [Bug 705956] - fix inverted logic when

+	clock value is in the range of a 64-bit integer. [Bug 1862555]
+	* library/clock.tcl (::tcl::clock::format, ::tcl::clock::scan,
+	(::tcl::clock::add, ::tcl::clock::LocalizeFormat): Fixed bugs in

+	* tests/clock.test (clock-61.*, clock-62.1): Regression tests for [Bug
+	1862555] and [Bug 1902423].

+
+2008-02-26  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure.in(socklen_t test): Define socklen_t as "int" if
+	missing, not "unsigned". Use AC_TRY_COMPILE instead of
+	AC_EGREP_HEADER.
+	* unix/configure: regenerated.
+
+2008-02-26  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: Set version 2.5.5
+	* library/http/http.tcl:     It is better to do the [eof] check after
+	trying to read from the socket. No clashes found in testing. Added
+	http::meta command to access the http headers. [Bug 1868845]
+
+2008-02-22  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	* generic/tclClock.c (ClockParseformatargsObjCmd):
+	* library/clock.tcl (::tcl::clock::format):
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-1.0, clock-1.4):
+	Performance enhancements in [clock format] (moving the analysis of
+	$args into C code, holding on to Tcl_Objs with resolved command names,
+	[lassign] in place of [foreach], avoiding [namespace which] for
+	command resolution).

 1. Introduction
 ---------------
+Tcl provides a powerful platform for creating integration applications that
+tie together diverse applications, protocols, devices, and frameworks.

-This directory and its descendants contain the sources and documentation
-for Tcl, an embeddable scripting language.  The information here
-corresponds to release 8.0.4, which is the fourth patch update for Tcl
-8.0. This patch provides compatibility with [incr Tcl] 3.0.
-Tcl 8.0 is a major new release that replaces the core of the
-interpreter with an on-the-fly bytecode compiler to improve execution
-speed.  It also includes several other new features such as namespaces
-and binary I/O, plus many bug fixes.  The compiler introduces a few
-incompatibilities that may affect existing Tcl scripts; the
-incompatibilities are relatively obscure but may require modifications
-to some old scripts before they can run with this version. The compiler
-introduces many new C-level APIs, but the old APIs are still supported.
-See below for more details.  This patch release fixes various bugs in
-Tcl 8.0, plus it adds a few minor features to support the TclPro 1.0
-tool set and [incr Tcl] 3.0.  Please check the changes file for details.

 3. Compiling and installing Tcl
 -------------------------------
 
-This release contains everything you should need to compile and run
-Tcl under UNIX, Macintoshes, and PCs (either Windows NT, Windows 95,
-or Win 3.1 with Win32s).
-
-Before trying to compile Tcl you should do the following things:
-
-    (a) Check for a binary release.  Pre-compiled binary releases are
-        available now for PCs, Macintoshes, and several flavors of UNIX.
-        Binary releases are much easier to install than source releases.
-        To find out whether a binary release is available for your
-        platform, check the Scriptics Tcl Resource Center
-        (http://www.scriptics.com/resource).  Also, check in
-        the FTP directory from which you retrieved the base
-        distribution.
-
-    (b) Make sure you have the most recent patch release.  Look in the
-	FTP directory from which you retrieved this distribution to see
-	if it has been updated with patches.  Patch releases fix bugs
-	without changing any features, so you should normally use the
-	latest patch release for the version of Tcl that you want. 
-	Patch releases are available in two forms.  A file like
-	tcl8.0.4.tar.Z is a complete release for patch level 4 of Tcl
-	version 8.0.  If there is a file with a higher patch level than
-	this release, just fetch the file with the highest patch level
-	and use it.
-
-	Patches are also available in the form of patch files that just
-	contain the changes from one patch level to another.  These
-	files will have names like tcl8.0p1.patch, tcl8.0p2.patch, etc.  They
-	may also have .gz or .Z extensions to indicate compression.  To
-	use one of these files, you apply it to an existing release with
-	the "patch" program.  Patches must be applied in order:
-	tcl8.0p1.patch must be applied to an unpatched Tcl 8.0 release
-	to produce a Tcl 8.0p1 release;  tcl8.0p2.patch can then be
-	applied to Tcl8.0p1 to produce Tcl 8.0p2, and so on. To apply an
-	uncompressed patch file such as tcl8.0p1.patch, invoke a shell
-	command like the following from the directory containing this
-	file (some versions of patch require "-p0"):
-	    patch -p < tcl8.0p1.patch
-	If the patch file has a .gz extension, invoke a command like the
-	following:
-	    gunzip -c tcl8.0p1.patch.gz | patch -p
-	If the patch file has a .Z extension, it was compressed with
-	compress.  To apply it, invoke a command like the following:
-	    zcat tcl8.0p1.patch.Z | patch -p
-	If you're applying a patch to a release that has already been
-	compiled, then before applying the patch you should cd to the
-	"unix" subdirectory and type "make distclean" to restore the
-	directory to a pristine state.
-
-Once you've done this, change to the "unix" subdirectory if you're
-compiling under UNIX, "win" if you're compiling under Windows, or
-"mac" if you're compiling on a Macintosh.  Then follow the instructions
-in the README file in that directory for compiling Tcl, installing it,
-and running the test suite.
-
-4. Summary of changes in Tcl 8.0
---------------------------------
-
-Here are the most significant changes in Tcl 8.0.  In addition to these
-changes, there are several smaller changes and bug fixes.  See the file
-"changes" for a complete list of all changes.
-
-    1. Bytecode compiler.  The core of the Tcl interpreter has been
-    replaced with an on-the-fly compiler that translates Tcl scripts to
-    byte codes; a new interpreter then executes the byte codes. In
-    earlier versions of Tcl, strings were used as a universal
-    representation;  in Tcl 8.0 strings are replaced with Tcl_Obj
-    structures ("objects") that can hold both a string value and an
-    internal form such as a binary integer or compiled bytecodes.  The
-    new objects make it possible to store information in efficient
-    internal forms and avoid the constant translations to and from
-    strings that occurred with the old interpreter.  We have not yet
-    converted all of Tcl to take full advantage of the compiler and
-    objects and have not converted any of Tk yet, but even so you
-    should see speedups of 2-3x on many programs and you may see
-    speedups as much as 10-20x in some cases (such as code that
-    manipulates long lists).  Future releases should achieve even
-    greater speedups.  The compiler introduces only a few minor changes
-    at the level of Tcl scripts, but it introduces many new C APIs for
-    managing objects.  See, for example, the manual entries doc/*Obj*.3.
-
-    2. Namespaces.  There is a new namespace mechanism based on the
-    namespace implementation by Michael McLennan of Lucent Technologies.
-    This includes new "namespace" and "variable" commands.  There are
-    many new C APIs associated with namespaces, but they will not be
-    exported until Tcl 8.1.  Note: the syntax of the namespace command
-    has been changed slightly since the b1 release.  See the changes
-    file for details.
-
-    3. Binary I/O.  The new object system in Tcl 8.0 supports binary
-    strings (internally, strings are counted in addition to being null
-    terminated).  There is a new "binary" command for inserting and
-    extracting data to/from binary strings.  Commands such as "puts",
-    "gets", and "read" commands now operate correctly on binary data. 
-    There is a new variable tcl_platform(byteOrder) to identify the
-    native byte order for the current host.
-
-    4. Random numbers.  The "expr" command now contains a random number
-    generator, which can be accessed via the "rand()" and "srand()" math
-    functions.
-
-    5. Safe-Tcl enhancements.  There is a new "hidden command"
-    mechanism, implemented with the Tcl commands "interp hide", "interp
-    expose", "interp invokehidden", and "interp hidden" and the C APIs
-    Tcl_HideCommand and Tcl_ExposeCommand.  There is now support for
-    safe packages and extension loading, including new library
-    procedures such as safe::interpCreate (see the manual entry safe.n
-    for details).
-
-    6. There is a new package "registry" available under Windows for
-    accessing the Windows registry.
-
-    7. There is a new command "file attributes" for getting and setting
-    things like permissions and owner.  There is also a new command
-    "file nativename" for getting back the platform-specific name for a
-    particular file.
-
-    8. There is a new "fcopy" command to copy data between channels. 
-    This replaces and improves upon the not-so-secret unsupported old
-    command "unsupported0".
-
-    9. There is a new package "http" for doing GET, POST, and HEAD
-    requests via the HTTP/1.0 protocol.  See the manual entry http.n
-    for details.
-
-    10. There are new library procedures for finding word breaks in
-    strings.  See the manual entry library.n for details.
-
-    11. There are new C APIs Tcl_Finalize (for cleaning up before
-    unloading the Tcl DLL) and Tcl_Ungets for pushing bytes back into a
-    channel's input buffer.
-
-    12. Tcl now supports serial I/O devices on Windows and Unix, with a
-    new fconfigure -mode option.  The Windows driver does not yet
-    support event-driven I/O.
-
-    13. The lsort command has new options -dictionary and -index.  The
-    -index option allows for very rapid sorting based on an element
-    of a list.
-
-    14. The event notifier has been completely rewritten (again).  It
-    should now allow Tcl to use an external event loop (like Motif's)
-    when it is embedded in other applications.  No script-level
-    interfaces have changed, but many of the C APIs have.
-
-Tcl 8.0 introduces the following incompatibilities that may affect Tcl
-scripts that worked under Tcl 7.6 and earlier releases:
-
-    1. Variable and command names may not include the character sequence
-    "::" anymore: this sequence is now used as a namespace separator.
-
-    2. The semantics of some Tcl commands have been changed slightly to
-    maximize performance under the compiler.  These incompatibilities
-    are documented on the Web so that we can keep the list up-to-date.
-    See the URL http://www.sunlabs.com/research/tcl/compiler.html.
-
-    3. 2-digit years are now parsed differently by the "clock" command
-    to handle year 2000 issues better (years 00-38 are treated as
-    2000-2038 instead of 1900-1938).
-
-    4. The old Macintosh commands "cp", "mkdir", "mv", "rm", and "rmdir"
-    are no longer supported; all of these features are now available on
-    all platforms via the "file" command.
-
-    5. The variable tcl_precision is now shared between interpreters
-    and defaults to 12 digits instead of 6; safe interpreters cannot
-    modify tcl_precision.  The new object system in Tcl 8.0 causes
-    floating-to-string conversions (and the associated rounding) to
-    occur much less often than in Tcl 7.6, which can sometimes cause
-    behavioral changes.
-
-    6. The C APIs associated with the notifier have changed substantially.
-
-    7. The procedures Tcl_CreateModalTimeout and Tcl_DeleteModalTimeout
-    have been removed.
-
-    8. Tcl_CreateFileHandler and Tcl_DeleteFileHandler now take Unix
-    fd's and are only supported on the Unix platform
-
-    9. The C APIs for creating channel drivers have changed as part of
-    the new notifier implementation.  The Tcl_File interfaces have been
-    removed.  Tcl_GetChannelFile has been replaced with
-    Tcl_GetChannelHandle.  Tcl_MakeFileChannel now takes a platform-
-    specific file handle.  Tcl_DriverGetOptionProc procedures now take
-    an additional interp argument.
+There are brief notes in the unix/README, win/README, and macosx/README about
+compiling on these different platforms.  There is additional information
+about building Tcl from sources at
+
+	http://www.tcl.tk/doc/howto/compile.html
+
+4. Development tools
+---------------------------
+
+ActiveState produces a high quality set of commercial quality development
+tools that is available to accelerate your Tcl application development.
+Tcl Dev Kit builds on the earlier TclPro toolset and provides a debugger,
+static code checker, single-file wrapping utility, bytecode compiler and
+more.  More information can be found at
+
+	http://www.ActiveState.com/Tcl
 
 5. Tcl newsgroup
------------------
-
-There is a network news group "comp.lang.tcl" intended for the exchange
-of information about Tcl, Tk, and related applications.  Feel free to use
-the newsgroup both for general information questions and for bug reports.
-We read the newsgroup and will attempt to fix bugs and problems reported
-to it.
-
-When using comp.lang.tcl, please be sure that your e-mail return address
-is correctly set in your postings.  This allows people to respond directly
-to you, rather than the entire newsgroup, for answers that are not of
-general interest.  A bad e-mail return address may prevent you from
-getting answers to your questions.  You may have to reconfigure your news
-reading software to ensure that it is supplying valid e-mail addresses.
-
-6. Tcl contributed archive
---------------------------
-
-Many people have created exciting packages and applications based on Tcl
-and/or Tk and made them freely available to the Tcl community.  An archive
-of these contributions is kept on the machine ftp.neosoft.com.  You
-can access the archive using anonymous FTP;  the Tcl contributed archive is
-in the directory "/pub/tcl".  The archive also contains several FAQ
-("frequently asked questions") documents that provide solutions to problems
-that are commonly encountered by TCL newcomers.
-
-7. Tcl Resource Center
-----------------------
-Visit http://www.scritics.com/resource/ to see an annotated index of
-many Tcl resources available on the World Wide Web.  This includes
-papers, books, and FAQs, as well as extensions, applications, binary
-releases, and patches.  You can contribute patches by sending them
-to <patches@scriptics.com>.  You can also recommend more URLs for the
-resource center using the forms labeled "Add a Resource".
-
-8. Mailing lists
 ----------------
 
-A couple of  Mailing List have been set up to discuss Macintosh or
-Windows related Tcl issues.  In order to use these Mailing Lists you
-must have access to the internet.  To subscribe send a message to:
-	
-	wintcl-request@tclconsortium.org
-	mactcl-request@tclconsortium.org
-	
-In the body of the message (the subject will be ignored) put:
-	
-	subscribe mactcl Joe Blow
-	
-Replacing Joe Blow with your real name, of course.  (Use wintcl
-instead of mactcl if your interested in the Windows list.)  If you
-would just like to receive more information about the list without
-subscribing put the line:
-
-	information mactcl
-	
-in the body instead (or wintcl).
-
-9. Support and bug fixes
+There is a USENET news group, "comp.lang.tcl", intended for the exchange of
+information about Tcl, Tk, and related applications.  The newsgroup is a
+great place to ask general information questions.  For bug reports, please
+see the "Support and bug fixes" section below.
+
+6. Tcl'ers Wiki
+---------------
+
+A Wiki-based open community site covering all aspects of Tcl/Tk is at:
+
+	http://wiki.tcl.tk/
+
+It is dedicated to the Tcl programming language and its extensions.  A
+wealth of useful information can be found there.  It contains code
+snippets, references to papers, books, and FAQs, as well as pointers to
+development tools, extensions, and applications.  You can also recommend
+additional URLs by editing the wiki yourself.
+
+7. Mailing lists
+----------------
+
+Several mailing lists are hosted at SourceForge to discuss development or
+use issues (like Macintosh and Windows topics).  For more information and
+to subscribe, visit:
+
+	http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/
+
+and go to the Mailing Lists page.
+
+8. Support and Training
 ------------------------
 
-We're very interested in receiving bug reports and suggestions for
-improvements.  We prefer that you send this information to the
-comp.lang.tcl newsgroup rather than to any of us at Scriptics.  We'll see
-anything on comp.lang.tcl, and in addition someone else who reads 
-comp.lang.tcl may be able to offer a solution.  The normal turn-around
-time for bugs is 3-6 weeks.  Enhancements may take longer and may not
-happen at all unless there is widespread support for them (we're
-trying to slow the rate at which Tcl turns into a kitchen sink).  It's
-very difficult to make incompatible changes to Tcl at this point, due
-to the size of the installed base.
-
-When reporting bugs, please provide a short tclsh script that we can
-use to reproduce the bug.  Make sure that the script runs with a
-bare-bones tclsh and doesn't depend on any extensions or other
-programs, particularly those that exist only at your site.  Also,
-please include three additional pieces of information with the
-script:
-    (a) how do we use the script to make the problem happen (e.g.
-	what things do we click on, in what order)?
-    (b) what happens when you do these things (presumably this is
-        undesirable)?
-    (c) what did you expect to happen instead?
-
-The Tcl community is too large for us to provide much individual
-support for users.  If you need help we suggest that you post questions
-to comp.lang.tcl.  We read the newsgroup and will attempt to answer
-esoteric questions for which no-one else is likely to know the answer.
-In addition, Tcl support and training are available commercially from
-Scriptics (info@scriptics.com), NeoSoft (info@neosoft.com),
-Computerized Processes Unlimited (gwl@cpu.com),
-and Data Kinetics (education@dkl.com).
-
-10. Tcl version numbers
-----------------------
+We are very interested in receiving bug reports, patches, and suggestions
+for improvements.  We prefer that you send this information to us as
+tickets entered into our tracker at:
+
+	http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/reportlist
+
+We will log and follow-up on each bug, although we cannot promise a
+specific turn-around time.  Enhancements may take longer and may not happen
+at all unless there is widespread support for them (we're trying to
+slow the rate at which Tcl/Tk turns into a kitchen sink).  It's very
+difficult to make incompatible changes to Tcl/Tk at this point, due to

+
+9. Tracking Development
+-----------------------
+
+Tcl is developed in public.  To keep an eye on how Tcl is changing, see
+	http://core.tcl.tk/
+
+10. Thank You
+-------------
 
-You can test the current version of Tcl by examining the
-tcl_version and tcl_patchLevel variables.  The tcl_patchLevel
-variable follows the naming rules outlined below (e.g., 8.0.4).
-The tcl_version just has the major.minor numbers in it (e.g., 8.0)
-
-Each Tcl release is identified by two numbers separated by a dot, e.g.
-6.7 or 7.0.  If a new release contains changes that are likely to break
-existing C code or Tcl scripts then the major release number increments
-and the minor number resets to zero: 6.0, 7.0, etc.  If a new release
-contains only bug fixes and compatible changes, then the minor number
-increments without changing the major number, e.g. 7.1, 7.2, etc.  If
-you have C code or Tcl scripts that work with release X.Y, then they
-should also work with any release X.Z as long as Z > Y.
-
-Alpha and beta releases have an additional suffix of the form a2 or b1.
-For example, Tcl 7.0b1 is the first beta release of Tcl version 7.0,
-Tcl 7.0b2 is the second beta release, and so on.  A beta release is an
-initial version of a new release, used to fix bugs and bad features before
-declaring the release stable.  An alpha release is like a beta release,
-except it's likely to need even more work before it's "ready for prime
-time".  New releases are normally preceded by one or more alpha and beta
-releases.  We hope that lots of people will try out the alpha and beta
-releases and report problems.  We'll make new alpha/beta releases to fix
-the problems, until eventually there is a beta release that appears to
-be stable.  Once this occurs we'll make the final release.
-
-We can't promise to maintain compatibility among alpha and beta releases.
-For example, release 7.1b2 may not be backward compatible with 7.1b1, even
-though the final 7.1 release will be backward compatible with 7.0.  This
-allows us to change new features as we find problems during beta testing.
-We'll try to minimize incompatibilities between beta releases, but if
-a major problem turns up then we'll fix it even if it introduces an
-incompatibility.  Once the official release is made then there won't
-be any more incompatibilities until the next release with a new major
-version number.
-
-(Note: This compatibility is true for Tcl scripts, but historically the Tcl
-C APIs have changed enough between releases that you may need to work a bit to
-upgrade extensions.)
-
-Patch releases have a suffix such as p1 or p2.  These releases contain
-bug fixes only.  A patch release (e.g Tcl 7.6p2) should be completely
-compatible with the base release from which it is derived (e.g. Tcl
-7.6), and you should normally use the highest available patch release.
-
-As of 8.0.3, the patch releases use a second . instead of 'p'.  So, the
-8.0 release went to 8.0p1, 8.0p2, 8.0.3, and 8.0.4.  The alphas and betas
-will still use the 'a' and 'b' letters in their tcl_patchLevel.
+We'd like to express our thanks to the Tcl community for all the
+helpful suggestions, bug reports, and patches we have received.
+Tcl/Tk has improved vastly and will continue to do so with your help.

+
+======== Changes for 8.0 go above this line ========
+======== Changes for 8.1 go below this line ========
+
+6/18/97 (new feature) Tcl now supports international character sets:
+    - All C APIs now accept UTF-8 strings instead of iso8859-1 strings,
+      wherever you see "char *", unless explicitly noted otherwise.
+    - All Tcl strings represented in UTF-8, which is a convenient
+      multi-byte encoding of Unicode.  Variable names, procedure names,
+      and all other values in Tcl may include arbitrary Unicode characters.
+      For example, the Tcl command "string length" returns how many
+      Unicode characters are in the argument string.
+    - For Java compatibility, embedded null bytes in C strings are
+      represented as \xC080 in UTF-8 strings, but the null byte at the end
+      of a UTF-8 string remains \0.  Thus Tcl strings once again do not
+      contain null bytes, except for termination bytes.
+    - For Java compatibility, "\uXXXX" is used in Tcl to enter a Unicode
+      character.  "\u0000" through "\uffff" are acceptable Unicode
+      characters.
+    - "\xXX" is used to enter a small Unicode character (between 0 and 255)
+      in Tcl.
+    - Tcl automatically translates between UTF-8 and the normal encoding for
+      the platform during interactions with the system.
+    - The fconfigure command now supports a -encoding option for specifying
+      the encoding of an open file or socket.  Tcl will automatically
+      translate between the specified encoding and UTF-8 during I/O.
+      See the directory library/encoding to find out what encodings are
+      supported (eventually there will be an "encoding" command that
+      makes this information more accessible).
+    - There are several new C APIs that support UTF-8 and various encodings.
+      See Utf.3 for procedures that translate between Unicode and UTF-8
+      and manipulate UTF-8 strings. See Encoding.3 for procedures that
+      create new encodings and translate between encodings.  See
+      ToUpper.3 for procedures that perform case conversions on UTF-8
+      strings.
+
+9/18/97 (enhancement) Literal objects are now shared by the ByteCode
+structures created when compiled different scripts. This saves up to 45%
+of the total memory needed for all literals. (BL)
+
+9/24/97 (bug fixes) Fixed Tcl_ParseCommand parsing of backslash-newline
+sequences at start of command words. Suppressed Tcl_EvalDirect error logging
+if non-TCL_OK result wasn't an error. (BL)
+
+10/17/97 (feature enhancement) "~username" now refers to the users' home

+
+10/20/97 (implementation change) The Tcl parser has been completely rewritten
+to make it more modular.  It can now be used to parse a script without actually
+executing it.  The APIs for the new parser are not correctly exported, but
+they will eventually be exported and augmented with Tcl commands so that
+Tcl scripts can parse other Tcl scripts. (JO)

+would be left useless, in raw mode, when tcl quit. (CCS)
+
+1/28/98 (bug fix) Tcl_OpenCommandChannel() was modifying the contents of the
+argv array passed to it, causing problems for any caller that wanted to
+continue to use the argv array after calling Tcl_OpenCommandChannel(). (CCS)
+
+2/1/98 (bug fix) More bugs with %Z in format string argument to strftime():
+1. Borland always returned empty string.
+2. MSVC always returned the timezone string for the current time, not the
+   timezone string for the specified time.
+3. With MSVC, "clock format 0 -format %Z -gmt 1" would return "GMT" the first
+   time it was called, but would return the current timezone string on all
+   subsequent calls. (CCS)
+
+2/1/98 (bug fix) "file stat" was broken on Windows.
+1. "file stat" of a root directory (local or network) or a relative path that
+   resolved to a root directory (c:. when in pwd was c:/) was returning error.
+2. "file stat" on a regular file (S_IFREG), the st_mode was sign extended to
+   a negative int if the platform-dependant type "mode_t" was declared as a
+   short instead of an unsigned short.
+3. "file stat" of a network directory, the st_dev was incorrectly reported
+   as the id of the last accessed local drive rather than the id of the
+   network drive. (CCS)
+
+2/1/98 (bug fix) "file attributes" of a relative path that resolved to a
+root directory was returning error. (CCS)
+
+2/1/98 (bug fix) Change error message when "file attribute" could not
+determine the attributes for a file.  Previously it would return different
+error messages on Unix vs.  Windows vs. Mac. (CCS)
+
+2/4/98 (bug fixes) Fixed several instances of bugs where the parser/compiler
+would reach outside the range of allocated memory. Improved the array
+lookup algorithm in set compilation. (DL)
+
+2/5/98 (change) The TCL_PARSE_PART1 flag for Set/Get(Obj)Var2 C APIs is now
+deprecated and ignored. The part1 is always parsed when the part2 argument
+is NULL. This is to avoid a pattern of errors for extension writers converting
+from string based Tcl_SetVar() to new Tcl_SetObjVar2() and who could easily
+forget to provide the flag and thus get code working for normal variables
+but not for array elements. The performance hit is minimal. A side effect
+of that change is that is is no longer possible to create scalar variables
+that can't be accessed by tcl scripts because of their invalid name
+(ending with parenthesis). Likewise it is also parsed and checked to
+ensure that you don't create array elements of array whose name is a valid
+array element because they would not be accessible from scripts anyway.
+Note: There is still duplicate array elements parsing code. (DL)

+
+2/11/98 (bug fix) Sharing objects between interps, such as by "interp
+eval" or "send" could cause a crash later when dereferencing an interp
+that had been deleted, given code such as:
+	set a {set x y}
+	interp create foo
+	interp eval foo $a
+	interp delete foo
+	unset a
+Interp "foo" was gone, but "a" had a internal rep consisting of bytecodes
+containing a dangling pointer to "foo".  Unsetting "a" would attempt to
+return resources back to "foo", causing a crash as random memory was
+accessed.  The lesson is that that if an object's internal rep depends on
+an interp (or any other data structure) it must preserve that data in
+some fashion. (CCS)
+
+2/11/98 (enhancement) The "interp" command was returning inconsistent error
+messages when the specified slave interp could not be found. (CCS)
+
+2/11/98 (bug fix) Result codes like TCL_BREAK and TCL_CONTINUE were not
+propagating through the master/slave interp boundaries, such as "interp
+eval" and "interp alias".  TCL_OK, TCL_ERROR, and non-standard codes like
+teh integer 57 work.  There is still a question as to whether TCL_RETURN
+can/should propagate. (CCS)
+
+2/11/98 (bug fix) TclCompileScript() was derefering memory 1 byte before
+start of the string to compile, looking for ']'. (CCS,DL)
+
+2/11/98 (bug fix) Tcl_Eval2() was derefering memory 1 byte before start
+of the string to eval, looking for ']'. (CCS,DL)
+
+2/11/98 (bug fix) Compiling "set a(b" was running off end of string. (CCS,DL)
+
+2/11/98 (bug fix) Windows initialization code was dereferencing
+uninitialized memory if TCL_LIBRARY environment didn't exist. (CCS)
+
+2/11/98 (bug fix) Windows "registry" command was dereferencing
+uninitialized memory when constructing the $errorCode for a failed
+registry call. (CCS)
+
+2/11/98 (enhancement) Eliminate the TCL_USE_TIMEZONE_VAR definition from
+configure.in, because it was the same information as the already existing
+HAVE_TM_ZONE definition.  The lack of HAVE_TM_ZONE is used to work around a
+Solaris and Windows bug where "clock format [clock sec] -format %Z -gmt 1"
+produces the local timezone string instead of "GMT". (CCS)
+
+2/11/98 (bug fix) Memleaks and dereferencing of uninitialized memory in
+regexp if an error occurred while compiling a regular expression. (CCS).
+
+2/18/98 (new feature) Added mutexes and thread local storage in order
+to make Tcl thread safe.  For testing purposes, there is a testthread
+command that creates a new thread and an interpreter inside it.  See
+thread.test for examples, but this script-level interface is not fixed.
+Each thread has its own notifier instance to manage its own events,
+and threads can post messages to each other's message queue.
+This uses pthreads on UNIX, and native thread support on other platforms.
+You enable this by configuring with --enable-threads.  Note that at
+this time *Tk* is still not thread safe. Special thanks to
+Richard Hipp: his earlier implementation inspired this work. (BW, SS, JI)
+
+2/18/98 (hidden feature change) The way the env() array is shared among
+interpreters changed.  Updates to env used to trigger write traces in
+other interpreters.  This undocumented feature is no longer implemented.
+Instead, variable tracing is used to keep the C-level environ array in sync
+with the Tcl-level env array. This required adding TCL_TRACE_ARRAY support
+to Tcl_TraceVar2 so that array names works properly. (BW)
+*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
+
+2/18/98 (enhancement) Conditional compilation for unix systems (e.g.,
+IRIX, SCO) that use f_bsize instead of st_blksize to determine disk block
+size. (CCS)
+
+2/23/98 (bug fix) Fixed the emulation of polling selects in the threaded
+version of the Unix notifier.  The bug was showing up on a multiprocessor
+as starvation of the notifier thread. (BW)
+
+----------------- Released 8.1a2, Feb 23 1998 -----------------------
+
+9/22/98 (bug fix) Changed the value of TCL_TRACE_ARRAY so it no longer
+conflicts with the deprecated TCL_PARSE_PART1 flag.  This should
+improve portability of C code. (stanton)
+
+10/6/98 (bug fix) The compile procedure for "if" incorrectly attempted
+to match against the literal string "if", resulting in a stack
+overflow when "::if" was compiled.  It also would incorrectly accept
+"if" instead of "elsif" in later clauses.  (stanton)
+
+10/15/98 (new feature) Added a "totitle" subcommand to the "string"
+command to convert strings to capitalize the first character of a string
+and lowercase all of the other characters. (stanton)
+
+10/15/98 (bug fix) Changed regexp and string commands to properly
+handle case folding according to the Unicode character
+tables. (stanton)
+
+10/21/98 (new feature) Added an "encoding" command to facilitate
+translations of strings between different character encodings.  See
+the encoding.n manual entry for more details. (stanton)
+
+11/3/98 (bug fix) The regular expression character classification
+syntax now includes Unicode characters in the supported

+11/6/98 (bug fix) Variable traces were causing crashes when upvar
+variables went out of scope. [Bug: 796] (stanton)
+
+11/9/98 (bug fix) "format" now correctly handles multibyte characters
+in %s format strings. (stanton)
+
+11/10/98 (new feature) "regexp" now accepts three new switches
+("-line", "-lineanchor", and "-linestop") that control how regular

+and the "%n" conversion character.  See the "scan" manual entry for
+more details. (stanton)
+
+11/17/98 (bug fix) The Tcl memory allocator now returns 8-byte aligned
+chunks of memory which improves performance on Windows and avoids
+crashes on other platforms. [Bug: 834] (stanton)
+
+11/23/98 (bug fix) Applied various regular expression performance bug
+fixes supplied by Henry Spencer. (stanton)

+11/30/98 (bug fix) Fixed a number of memory overflow and leak
+bugs. [Bug: 584] (stanton)
+
+12/1/98 (new feaure) Added support for Korean encodings. (stanton)

+*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with previous alpha releases ***
+
+12/2/98 (bug fix) Fixed various bugs related to line feed
+translation. [Bug: 887] (stanton)
+
+12/4/98 (new feature) Added a message catalog facility to help with
+localizing Tcl scripts.  Thanks to Mark Harrison for contributing the
+initial implementation of the "msgcat" package. (stanton)
+
+12/7/98 (bug fix) The memory allocator was failing to update the

+
+----------------- Released 8.1b1, Dec 10 1998 -----------------------
+
+12/22/98 (performance improvement) Improved the -command option of the
+lsort command to better use the object system for improved
+performance (about 5x speed up).  Thanks to Syd Polk for suppling the
+patch. [RFE: 726] (rjohnson)
+
+2/10/99 (bug fix) Restored the Tcl_ObjSetVar2/Tcl_ObjGetVar2
+interfaces from 8.0 and renamed the Tcl_GetObjVar2/Tcl_SetObjVar2
+interfaces to Tcl_GetVar2Ex and Tcl_SetVar2Ex.  This should provide
+better compatibility with 8.0. (stanton)
+*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with previous alpha/beta releases ***
+
+2/10/99 (bug fix) Made the eval interfaces compatible with 8.0 by
+renaming Tcl_EvalObj to Tcl_EvalObjEx, renaming Tcl_Eval2 to

+so they match Tcl 8.0. (stanton)
+*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with previous alpha/beta releases ***
+
+2/25/99 (bug fix/new feature) On Windows, the channel drivers for
+consoles and serial ports now completely support file events. (redman)

+3/5/99 (bug fix) Integrated patches to fix various configure problems
+that affected HP-UX-11, 64-bit IRIX, Linux, and Solaris. (stanton)
+
+3/9/99 (bug fix) Integrated various AIX related patches to improve
+support for shared libraries. (stanton)
+
+3/9/99 (new feature) Added tcl_platform(user) to provide a portable
+way to get the name of the current user. (welch)
+
+3/9/99 (new feature) Integrated the stub library mechanism contributed
+by Jan Nijtmans, Paul Duffin, and Jean-Claude Wippler.  This feature
+should make it possible to write extensions that support multiple
+versions of Tcl simultaneously.  It also makes it possible to
+dynamically load extensions into statically linked interpreters.  This
+patch includes the following changes:
+      -	Added a Tcl_InitStubs() interface
+      -	Added Tcl_PkgProvideEx, Tcl_PkgRequireEx, Tcl_PkgPresentEx,
+      	and Tcl_PkgPresent.
+      - Added va_list versions of all VARARGS functions so they can be
+	invoked from wrapper functions.
+See the manual for more information. (stanton)

+3/10/99 (feature change) Replaced Tcl_AlertNotifier with
+Tcl_ThreadAlert since the Tcl_AlertNotifier function relied on passing
+internal data structures. (stanton)
+*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with previous alpha/beta releases ***
+
+3/10/99 (new feature) Added a Tcl_GetVersion API to make it easier to
+check the Tcl version and patch level from C. (redman)
+
+3/14/99 (feature change) Tried to unify the TclpInitLibrary path
+routines to look in similar places from Windows to UNIX.  The new
+library search path is: TCL_LIBRARY, TCL_LIBRARY/../tcl8.1, relative
+to DLL (Windows Only) relative to installed executable, relative to
+develop executable, and relative to compiled-in in location (UNIX
+Only.)  This fix included:
+    - Defining a TclpFindExecutable
+    - Moving Tcl_FindExecutable to a common area in tclEncoding.c
+    - Modifying the TclpInitLibraryPath routines.
+(surles)
+
+3/14/99 (feature change) Added hooks for TclPro Wrapper to initialize
+the location of the encoding files and libraries.  This fix included:
+    - Adding the TclSetPerInitScript routine.
+    - Modifying the Tcl_Init routines to evaluate the non-NULL
+      pre-init script.
+    - Adding the Tcl_SetdefaultEncodingDir and Tcl_GetDefaultEncodingDir
+      routines.
+    - Modifying the TclpInitLibrary routines to append the default
+      encoding dir.
+(surles)
+
+3/14/99 (feature change) Test suite now uses "test" namespace to
+define the test procedure and other auxiliary procedures as well as
+global variables.
+    - Global array testConfige is now called ::test::testConfig.
+    - Global variable VERBOSE is now called ::test::verbose, and
+      ::test::verbose no longer works with numerical values.  We've
+      switched to a bitwise character string.  You can set
+      ::test::verbose by using the -verbose option on the Tcl command
+      line.
+    - Global variable TESTS is now called ::test::matchingTests, and
+      can be set on the Tcl command line via the -match option.
+    - There is now a ::test::skipTests variable (works similarly to
+      ::test::matchTests) that can be set on the Tcl command line via
+      the -match option.
+    - The test suite can now be run in any working directory.  When
+      you run "make test", the working directory is nolonger switched
+      to ../tests.

+*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
+
+3/19/99 (new feature) Added support for --enable-64bit.  For now,

+
+3/23/99 (bug fix) Fixed fileevents and gets on Windows consoles and
+serial devices so that non-blocking channels do not block on partial
+input lines.  (redman)
+
+3/23/99 (bug fix) Added a new Tcl_ServiceModeHook interface.
+This is used on Windows to avoid the various problems that people

+outside of the event loop. As part of this, renamed
+TclpAlertNotifier back to Tcl_AlertNotifier since it is public.
+(stanton)
+
+3/23/99 (feature change) Test suite now uses "tcltest" namespace to

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

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

+ZLIB DATA COMPRESSION LIBRARY
+
+zlib 1.2.8 is a general purpose data compression library.  All the code is
+thread safe.  The data format used by the zlib library is described by RFCs
+(Request for Comments) 1950 to 1952 in the files
+http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1950 (zlib format), rfc1951 (deflate format) and
+rfc1952 (gzip format).
+
+All functions of the compression library are documented in the file zlib.h
+(volunteer to write man pages welcome, contact zlib@gzip.org).  A usage example
+of the library is given in the file test/example.c which also tests that
+the library is working correctly.  Another example is given in the file
+test/minigzip.c.  The compression library itself is composed of all source
+files in the root directory.
+
+To compile all files and run the test program, follow the instructions given at
+the top of Makefile.in.  In short "./configure; make test", and if that goes
+well, "make install" should work for most flavors of Unix.  For Windows, use
+one of the special makefiles in win32/ or contrib/vstudio/ .  For VMS, use
+make_vms.com.
+
+Questions about zlib should be sent to <zlib@gzip.org>, or to Gilles Vollant
+<info@winimage.com> for the Windows DLL version.  The zlib home page is
+http://zlib.net/ .  Before reporting a problem, please check this site to
+verify that you have the latest version of zlib; otherwise get the latest
+version and check whether the problem still exists or not.
+
+PLEASE read the zlib FAQ http://zlib.net/zlib_faq.html before asking for help.
+
+Mark Nelson <markn@ieee.org> wrote an article about zlib for the Jan.  1997
+issue of Dr.  Dobb's Journal; a copy of the article is available at
+http://marknelson.us/1997/01/01/zlib-engine/ .
+
+The changes made in version 1.2.8 are documented in the file ChangeLog.
+
+Unsupported third party contributions are provided in directory contrib/ .
+
+zlib is available in Java using the java.util.zip package, documented at
+http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/compression/ .
+
+A Perl interface to zlib written by Paul Marquess <pmqs@cpan.org> is available
+at CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) sites, including
+http://search.cpan.org/~pmqs/IO-Compress-Zlib/ .
+
+A Python interface to zlib written by A.M. Kuchling <amk@amk.ca> is
+available in Python 1.5 and later versions, see
+http://docs.python.org/library/zlib.html .
+
+zlib is built into tcl: http://wiki.tcl.tk/4610 .
+
+An experimental package to read and write files in .zip format, written on top
+of zlib by Gilles Vollant <info@winimage.com>, is available in the
+contrib/minizip directory of zlib.
+
+
+Notes for some targets:
+
+- For Windows DLL versions, please see win32/DLL_FAQ.txt
+
+- For 64-bit Irix, deflate.c must be compiled without any optimization. With
+  -O, one libpng test fails. The test works in 32 bit mode (with the -n32
+  compiler flag). The compiler bug has been reported to SGI.
+
+- zlib doesn't work with gcc 2.6.3 on a DEC 3000/300LX under OSF/1 2.1 it works
+  when compiled with cc.
+
+- On Digital Unix 4.0D (formely OSF/1) on AlphaServer, the cc option -std1 is
+  necessary to get gzprintf working correctly. This is done by configure.
+
+- zlib doesn't work on HP-UX 9.05 with some versions of /bin/cc. It works with
+  other compilers. Use "make test" to check your compiler.
+
+- gzdopen is not supported on RISCOS or BEOS.
+
+- For PalmOs, see http://palmzlib.sourceforge.net/
+
+
+Acknowledgments:
+
+  The deflate format used by zlib was defined by Phil Katz.  The deflate and
+  zlib specifications were written by L.  Peter Deutsch.  Thanks to all the
+  people who reported problems and suggested various improvements in zlib; they
+  are too numerous to cite here.

+        ZLIB version 1.2.8 for AS400 installation instructions
+
+I) From an AS400 *SAVF file:
+
+1)      Unpacking archive to an AS400 save file
+
+On the AS400:
+
+_       Create the ZLIB AS400 library:
+
+        CRTLIB LIB(ZLIB) TYPE(*PROD) TEXT('ZLIB compression API library')
+
+_       Create a work save file, for example:
+
+                CRTSAVF FILE(ZLIB/ZLIBSAVF)
+
+On a PC connected to the target AS400:
+
+_       Unpack the save file image to a PC file "ZLIBSAVF"
+_       Upload this file into the save file on the AS400, for example
+                using ftp in BINARY mode.
+
+
+2)      Populating the ZLIB AS400 source library
+
+On the AS400:
+
+_       Extract the saved objects into the ZLIB AS400 library using:
+
+RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(ZLIB) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(ZLIB/ZLIBSAVF) RSTLIB(ZLIB)
+
+
+3)      Customize installation:
+
+_       Edit CL member ZLIB/TOOLS(COMPILE) and change parameters if needed,
+                according to the comments.
+
+_       Compile this member with:
+
+        CRTCLPGM PGM(ZLIB/COMPILE) SRCFILE(ZLIB/TOOLS) SRCMBR(COMPILE)
+
+
+4)      Compile and generate the service program:
+
+_       This can now be done by executing:
+
+        CALL PGM(ZLIB/COMPILE)
+
+
+
+II) From the original source distribution:
+
+1)      On the AS400, create the source library:
+
+        CRTLIB LIB(ZLIB) TYPE(*PROD) TEXT('ZLIB compression API library')
+
+2)      Create the source files:
+
+        CRTSRCPF FILE(ZLIB/SOURCES) RCDLEN(112) TEXT('ZLIB library modules')
+        CRTSRCPF FILE(ZLIB/H)       RCDLEN(112) TEXT('ZLIB library includes')
+        CRTSRCPF FILE(ZLIB/TOOLS)   RCDLEN(112) TEXT('ZLIB library control utilities')
+
+3)      From the machine hosting the distribution files, upload them (with
+                FTP in text mode, for example) according to the following table:
+
+    Original    AS400   AS400    AS400 AS400

+
+Notes:  For AS400 ILE RPG programmers, a /copy member defining the ZLIB
+                API prototypes for ILE RPG can be found in ZLIB/H(ZLIB.INC).
+                Please read comments in this member for more information.
+
+        Remember that most foreign textual data are ASCII coded: this
+                implementation does not handle conversion from/to ASCII, so
+                text data code conversions must be done explicitely.
+
+        Mainly for the reason above, always open zipped files in binary mode.

+# To impose specific compiler or flags or install directory, use for example:
+#    prefix=$HOME CC=cc CFLAGS="-O4" ./configure
+# or for csh/tcsh users:
+#    (setenv prefix $HOME; setenv CC cc; setenv CFLAGS "-O4"; ./configure)

+                        ZLib for Ada thick binding (ZLib.Ada)
+                        Release 1.3
+
+ZLib.Ada is a thick binding interface to the popular ZLib data
+compression library, available at http://www.gzip.org/zlib/.
+It provides Ada-style access to the ZLib C library.
+
+
+        Here are the main changes since ZLib.Ada 1.2:
+
+- Attension: ZLib.Read generic routine have a initialization requirement
+  for Read_Last parameter now. It is a bit incompartible with previous version,
+  but extends functionality, we could use new parameters Allow_Read_Some and
+  Flush now.
+
+- Added Is_Open routines to ZLib and ZLib.Streams packages.
+
+- Add pragma Assert to check Stream_Element is 8 bit.
+
+- Fix extraction to buffer with exact known decompressed size. Error reported by
+  Steve Sangwine.
+
+- Fix definition of ULong (changed to unsigned_long), fix regression on 64 bits
+  computers. Patch provided by Pascal Obry.
+
+- Add Status_Error exception definition.
+
+- Add pragma Assertion that Ada.Streams.Stream_Element size is 8 bit.
+
+
+        How to build ZLib.Ada under GNAT
+
+You should have the ZLib library already build on your computer, before
+building ZLib.Ada. Make the directory of ZLib.Ada sources current and
+issue the command:
+
+  gnatmake test -largs -L<directory where libz.a is> -lz
+
+Or use the GNAT project file build for GNAT 3.15 or later:
+
+  gnatmake -Pzlib.gpr -L<directory where libz.a is>
+
+
+        How to build ZLib.Ada under Aonix ObjectAda for Win32 7.2.2
+
+1. Make a project with all *.ads and *.adb files from the distribution.
+2. Build the libz.a library from the ZLib C sources.
+3. Rename libz.a to z.lib.
+4. Add the library z.lib to the project.
+5. Add the libc.lib library from the ObjectAda distribution to the project.
+6. Build the executable using test.adb as a main procedure.
+
+
+        How to use ZLib.Ada
+
+The source files test.adb and read.adb are small demo programs that show
+the main functionality of ZLib.Ada.
+
+The routines from the package specifications are commented.

+This is a patched version of zlib, modified to use
+Pentium-Pro-optimized assembly code in the deflation algorithm. The
+files changed/added by this patch are:
+
+README.686
+match.S
+
+The speedup that this patch provides varies, depending on whether the
+compiler used to build the original version of zlib falls afoul of the
+PPro's speed traps. My own tests show a speedup of around 10-20% at
+the default compression level, and 20-30% using -9, against a version
+compiled using gcc 2.7.2.3. Your mileage may vary.
+
+Note that this code has been tailored for the PPro/PII in particular,
+and will not perform particuarly well on a Pentium.
+
+If you are using an assembler other than GNU as, you will have to
+translate match.S to use your assembler's syntax. (Have fun.)

+April, 1998
+
+
+Added for zlib 1.1.3:
+
+The patches come from
+http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/assembly.html
+
+To compile zlib with this asm file, copy match.S to the zlib directory
+then do:
+
+CFLAGS="-O3 -DASMV" ./configure
+make OBJA=match.o
+
+
+Update:
+
+I've been ignoring these assembly routines for years, believing that
+gcc's generated code had caught up with it sometime around gcc 2.95
+and the major rearchitecting of the Pentium 4. However, I recently
+learned that, despite what I believed, this code still has some life
+in it. On the Pentium 4 and AMD64 chips, it continues to run about 8%
+faster than the code produced by gcc 4.1.
+
+In acknowledgement of its continuing usefulness, I've altered the
+license to match that of the rest of zlib. Share and Enjoy!

+ *   This is the base-2 logarithm of the dictionary size minus six.
+ *
+ * - Compressed data is a combination of literals and length/distance pairs
+ *   terminated by an end code.  Literals are either Huffman coded or
+ *   uncoded bytes.  A length/distance pair is a coded length followed by a
+ *   coded distance to represent a string that occurs earlier in the
+ *   uncompressed data that occurs again at the current location.
+ *
+ * - A bit preceding a literal or length/distance pair indicates which comes
+ *   next, 0 for literals, 1 for length/distance.
+ *
+ * - If literals are uncoded, then the next eight bits are the literal, in the
+ *   normal bit order in th stream, i.e. no bit-reversal is needed. Similarly,
+ *   no bit reversal is needed for either the length extra bits or the distance
+ *   extra bits.
+ *
+ * - Literal bytes are simply written to the output.  A length/distance pair is
+ *   an instruction to copy previously uncompressed bytes to the output.  The
+ *   copy is from distance bytes back in the output stream, copying for length
+ *   bytes.
+ *
+ * - Distances pointing before the beginning of the output data are not
+ *   permitted.
+ *
+ * - Overlapped copies, where the length is greater than the distance, are
+ *   allowed and common.  For example, a distance of one and a length of 518
+ *   simply copies the last byte 518 times.  A distance of four and a length of
+ *   twelve copies the last four bytes three times.  A simple forward copy
+ *   ignoring whether the length is greater than the distance or not implements

+  will raise an exception.
+
+  Output data is cached internally, written to the output stream only when

+  the stream will raise an exception.
+
+  The Position property returns the number of bytes of uncompressed data that
+  have been read from the stream so far.
+
+  The OnProgress event is called each time the internal input buffer of

+
+Overview
+========
+
+This directory contains an update to the ZLib interface unit,
+distributed by Borland as a Delphi supplemental component.
+
+The original ZLib unit is Copyright (c) 1997,99 Borland Corp.,
+and is based on zlib version 1.0.4.  There are a series of bugs
+and security problems associated with that old zlib version, and
+we recommend the users to update their ZLib unit.
+
+
+Summary of modifications
+========================
+
+- Improved makefile, adapted to zlib version 1.2.1.
+
+- Some field types from TZStreamRec are changed from Integer to
+  Longint, for consistency with the zlib.h header, and for 64-bit
+  readiness.
+
+- The zlib_version constant is updated.
+
+- The new Z_RLE strategy has its corresponding symbolic constant.
+
+- The allocation and deallocation functions and function types
+  (TAlloc, TFree, zlibAllocMem and zlibFreeMem) are now cdecl,
+  and _malloc and _free are added as C RTL stubs.  As a result,
+  the original C sources of zlib can be compiled out of the box,
+  and linked to the ZLib unit.
+
+
+Suggestions for improvements
+============================
+
+Currently, the ZLib unit provides only a limited wrapper around
+the zlib library, and much of the original zlib functionality is
+missing.  Handling compressed file formats like ZIP/GZIP or PNG
+cannot be implemented without having this functionality.
+Applications that handle these formats are either using their own,
+duplicated code, or not using the ZLib unit at all.
+
+Here are a few suggestions:
+
+- Checksum class wrappers around adler32() and crc32(), similar
+  to the Java classes that implement the java.util.zip.Checksum
+  interface.
+
+- The ability to read and write raw deflate streams, without the
+  zlib stream header and trailer.  Raw deflate streams are used
+  in the ZIP file format.
+
+- The ability to read and write gzip streams, used in the GZIP
+  file format, and normally produced by the gzip program.
+
+- The ability to select a different compression strategy, useful
+  to PNG and MNG image compression, and to multimedia compression
+  in general.  Besides the compression level
+
+    TCompressionLevel = (clNone, clFastest, clDefault, clMax);
+
+  which, in fact, could have used the 'z' prefix and avoided
+  TColor-like symbols
+
+    TCompressionLevel = (zcNone, zcFastest, zcDefault, zcMax);
+
+  there could be a compression strategy
+
+    TCompressionStrategy = (zsDefault, zsFiltered, zsHuffmanOnly, zsRle);
+
+- ZIP and GZIP stream handling via TStreams.

+This directory contains a .Net wrapper class library for the ZLib1.dll
+
+The wrapper includes support for inflating/deflating memory buffers,
+.Net streaming wrappers for the gz streams part of zlib, and wrappers
+for the checksum parts of zlib. See DotZLib/UnitTests.cs for examples.
+
+Directory structure:
+--------------------
+
+LICENSE_1_0.txt       - License file.
+readme.txt            - This file.
+DotZLib.chm           - Class library documentation
+DotZLib.build         - NAnt build file
+DotZLib.sln           - Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 solution file
+
+DotZLib\*.cs          - Source files for the class library
+
+Unit tests:
+-----------
+The file DotZLib/UnitTests.cs contains unit tests for use with NUnit 2.1 or higher.
+To include unit tests in the build, define nunit before building.
+
+
+Build instructions:
+-------------------
+
+1. Using Visual Studio.Net 2003:
+   Open DotZLib.sln in VS.Net and build from there. Output file (DotZLib.dll)
+   will be found ./DotZLib/bin/release or ./DotZLib/bin/debug, depending on
+   you are building the release or debug version of the library. Check
+   DotZLib/UnitTests.cs for instructions on how to include unit tests in the
+   build.
+
+2. Using NAnt:
+   Open a command prompt with access to the build environment and run nant
+   in the same directory as the DotZLib.build file.
+   You can define 2 properties on the nant command-line to control the build:
+   debug={true|false} to toggle between release/debug builds (default=true).
+   nunit={true|false} to include or esclude unit tests (default=true).
+   Also the target clean will remove binaries.
+   Output file (DotZLib.dll) will be found in either ./DotZLib/bin/release
+   or ./DotZLib/bin/debug, depending on whether you are building the release
+   or debug version of the library.
+
+   Examples:
+     nant -D:debug=false -D:nunit=false
+       will build a release mode version of the library without unit tests.
+     nant
+       will build a debug version of the library with unit tests
+     nant clean
+       will remove all previously built files.

+       code lengths are lens[0..codes-1].  Each length corresponds to the
+       symbols 0..codes-1.  The Huffman code is generated by first sorting the
+       symbols by length from short to long, and retaining the symbol order
+       for codes with equal lengths.  Then the code starts with all zero bits
+       for the first code of the shortest length, and the codes are integer
+       increments for the same length, and zeros are appended as the length
+       increases.  For the deflate format, these bits are stored backwards
+       from their more natural integer increment ordering, and so when the
+       decoding tables are built in the large loop below, the integer codes
+       are incremented backwards.
+

+       lens[] are in the range 0..MAXBITS.  The caller must assure this.
+       1..MAXBITS is interpreted as that code length.  zero means that that
+       symbol does not occur in this code.
+
+       The codes are sorted by computing a count of codes for each length,
+       creating from that a table of starting indices for each length in the
+       sorted table, and then entering the symbols in order in the sorted
+       table.  The sorted table is work[], with that space being provided by
+       the caller.
+
+       The length counts are used for other purposes as well, i.e. finding
+       the minimum and maximum length codes, determining if there are any
+       codes at all, checking for a valid set of lengths, and looking ahead
+       at length counts to determine sub-table sizes when building the

+   Decode literal, length, and distance codes and write out the resulting

+   When large enough input and output buffers are supplied to inflate(), for
+   example, a 16K input buffer and a 64K output buffer, more than 95% of the
+   inflate execution time is spent in this routine.

+      checking for available input while decoding.
+
+    - The maximum bytes that a single length/distance pair can output is 258
+      bytes, which is the maximum length that can be coded.  inflate_fast()

+ * inffast.S is a hand tuned assembler version of:
+ *
+ * inffast.c -- fast decoding
+ * Copyright (C) 1995-2003 Mark Adler
+ * For conditions of distribution and use, see copyright notice in zlib.h
+ *
+ * Copyright (C) 2003 Chris Anderson <christop@charm.net>
+ * Please use the copyright conditions above.
+ *
+ * This version (Jan-23-2003) of inflate_fast was coded and tested under
+ * GNU/Linux on a pentium 3, using the gcc-3.2 compiler distribution.  On that
+ * machine, I found that gzip style archives decompressed about 20% faster than
+ * the gcc-3.2 -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer compiled version.  Your results will
+ * depend on how large of a buffer is used for z_stream.next_in & next_out
+ * (8K-32K worked best for my 256K cpu cache) and how much overhead there is in
+ * stream processing I/O and crc32/addler32.  In my case, this routine used
+ * 70% of the cpu time and crc32 used 20%.
+ *
+ * I am confident that this version will work in the general case, but I have
+ * not tested a wide variety of datasets or a wide variety of platforms.
+ *
+ * Jan-24-2003 -- Added -DUSE_MMX define for slightly faster inflating.
+ * It should be a runtime flag instead of compile time flag...
+ *
+ * Jan-26-2003 -- Added runtime check for MMX support with cpuid instruction.
+ * With -DUSE_MMX, only MMX code is compiled.  With -DNO_MMX, only non-MMX code
+ * is compiled.  Without either option, runtime detection is enabled.  Runtime
+ * detection should work on all modern cpus and the recomended algorithm (flip
+ * ID bit on eflags and then use the cpuid instruction) is used in many
+ * multimedia applications.  Tested under win2k with gcc-2.95 and gas-2.12
+ * distributed with cygwin3.  Compiling with gcc-2.95 -c inffast.S -o
+ * inffast.obj generates a COFF object which can then be linked with MSVC++
+ * compiled code.  Tested under FreeBSD 4.7 with gcc-2.95.
+ *
+ * Jan-28-2003 -- Tested Athlon XP... MMX mode is slower than no MMX (and
+ * slower than compiler generated code).  Adjusted cpuid check to use the MMX
+ * code only for Pentiums < P4 until I have more data on the P4.  Speed
+ * improvment is only about 15% on the Athlon when compared with code generated
+ * with MSVC++.  Not sure yet, but I think the P4 will also be slower using the
+ * MMX mode because many of it's x86 ALU instructions execute in .5 cycles and
+ * have less latency than MMX ops.  Added code to buffer the last 11 bytes of
+ * the input stream since the MMX code grabs bits in chunks of 32, which
+ * differs from the inffast.c algorithm.  I don't think there would have been
+ * read overruns where a page boundary was crossed (a segfault), but there
+ * could have been overruns when next_in ends on unaligned memory (unintialized
+ * memory read).
+ *
+ * Mar-13-2003 -- P4 MMX is slightly slower than P4 NO_MMX.  I created a C
+ * version of the non-MMX code so that it doesn't depend on zstrm and zstate
+ * structure offsets which are hard coded in this file.  This was last tested
+ * with zlib-1.2.0 which is currently in beta testing, newer versions of this
+ * and inffas86.c can be found at http://www.eetbeetee.com/zlib/ and
+ * http://www.charm.net/~christop/zlib/

+These classes provide a C++ stream interface to the zlib library. It allows you
+to do things like:
+
+  gzofstream outf("blah.gz");
+  outf << "These go into the gzip file " << 123 << endl;
+
+It does this by deriving a specialized stream buffer for gzipped files, which is
+the way Stroustrup would have done it. :->
+
+The gzifstream and gzofstream classes were originally written by Kevin Ruland
+and made available in the zlib contrib/iostream directory. The older version still
+compiles under gcc 2.xx, but not under gcc 3.xx, which sparked the development of
+this version.
+
+The new classes are as standard-compliant as possible, closely following the
+approach of the standard library's fstream classes. It compiles under gcc versions
+3.2 and 3.3, but not under gcc 2.xx. This is mainly due to changes in the standard
+library naming scheme. The new version of gzifstream/gzofstream/gzfilebuf differs
+from the previous one in the following respects:
+- added showmanyc
+- added setbuf, with support for unbuffered output via setbuf(0,0)
+- a few bug fixes of stream behavior
+- gzipped output file opened with default compression level instead of maximum level
+- setcompressionlevel()/strategy() members replaced by single setcompression()
+
+The code is provided "as is", with the permission to use, copy, modify, distribute
+and sell it for any purpose without fee.

+Possible upgrades to gzfilebuf:
+
+- The ability to do putback (e.g. putbackfail)
+
+- The ability to seek (zlib supports this, but could be slow/tricky)
+
+- Simultaneous read/write access (does it make sense?)
+
+- Support for ios_base::ate open mode
+
+- Locale support?
+
+- Check public interface to see which calls give problems
+  (due to dependence on library internals)

+- Override operator<<(ostream&, gzfilebuf*) to allow direct copying
+  of stream buffer to stream ( i.e. os << is.rdbuf(); )

+ *  inffasx64.asm is automatically convert from AMD64 portion of inffas86.c
+ *
+ * Dec-29-2003 -- I added AMD64 inflate asm support.  This version is also
+ * slightly quicker on x86 systems because, instead of using rep movsb to copy
+ * data, it uses rep movsw, which moves data in 2-byte chunks instead of single
+ * bytes.  I've tested the AMD64 code on a Fedora Core 1 + the x86_64 updates
+ * from http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/fc1_x86_64
+ * which is running on an Athlon 64 3000+ / Gigabyte GA-K8VT800M system with
+ * 1GB ram.  The 64-bit version is about 4% faster than the 32-bit version,
+ * when decompressing mozilla-source-1.3.tar.gz.
+ *
+ * Mar-13-2003 -- Most of this is derived from inffast.S which is derived from
+ * the gcc -S output of zlib-1.2.0/inffast.c.  Zlib-1.2.0 is in beta release at
+ * the moment.  I have successfully compiled and tested this code with gcc2.96,
+ * gcc3.2, icc5.0, msvc6.0.  It is very close to the speed of inffast.S
+ * compiled with gcc -DNO_MMX, but inffast.S is still faster on the P3 with MMX
+ * enabled.  I will attempt to merge the MMX code into this version.  Newer
+ * versions of this and inffast.S can be found at
+ * http://www.eetbeetee.com/zlib/ and http://www.charm.net/~christop/zlib/

+/*
+   Decode literal, length, and distance codes and write out the resulting
+   literal and match bytes until either not enough input or output is
+   available, an end-of-block is encountered, or a data error is encountered.
+   When large enough input and output buffers are supplied to inflate(), for
+   example, a 16K input buffer and a 64K output buffer, more than 95% of the
+   inflate execution time is spent in this routine.
+
+   Entry assumptions:
+
+        state->mode == LEN
+        strm->avail_in >= 6
+        strm->avail_out >= 258
+        start >= strm->avail_out
+        state->bits < 8
+
+   On return, state->mode is one of:
+
+        LEN -- ran out of enough output space or enough available input
+        TYPE -- reached end of block code, inflate() to interpret next block
+        BAD -- error in block data
+
+   Notes:
+
+    - The maximum input bits used by a length/distance pair is 15 bits for the
+      length code, 5 bits for the length extra, 15 bits for the distance code,
+      and 13 bits for the distance extra.  This totals 48 bits, or six bytes.
+      Therefore if strm->avail_in >= 6, then there is enough input to avoid
+      checking for available input while decoding.
+
+    - The maximum bytes that a single length/distance pair can output is 258
+      bytes, which is the maximum length that can be coded.  inflate_fast()
+      requires strm->avail_out >= 258 for each loop to avoid checking for
+      output space.

+Summary
+-------
+This directory contains ASM implementations of the functions
+longest_match() and inflate_fast(), for 64 bits x86 (both AMD64 and Intel EM64t),
+for use with Microsoft Macro Assembler (x64) for AMD64 and Microsoft C++ 64 bits.
+
+gvmat64.asm is written by Gilles Vollant (2005), by using Brian Raiter 686/32 bits
+   assembly optimized version from Jean-loup Gailly original longest_match function
+
+inffasx64.asm and inffas8664.c were written by Chris Anderson, by optimizing
+   original function from Mark Adler
+
+Use instructions
+----------------
+Assemble the .asm files using MASM and put the object files into the zlib source
+directory.  You can also get object files here:
+
+     http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/zlib124_masm_obj.zip
+
+define ASMV and ASMINF in your project. Include inffas8664.c in your source tree,
+and inffasx64.obj and gvmat64.obj as object to link.
+
+
+Build instructions
+------------------
+run bld_64.bat with Microsoft Macro Assembler (x64) for AMD64 (ml64.exe)
+
+ml64.exe is given with Visual Studio 2005, Windows 2003 server DDK
+
+You can get Windows 2003 server DDK with ml64 and cl for AMD64 from
+  http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/ddk/default.mspx for low price)

+;
+;  this longest_match was written by Brian raiter (1998), optimized for Pentium Pro
+;   (and the faster known version of match_init on modern Core 2 Duo and AMD Phenom)
+;
+;  for using an assembly version of longest_match, you need define ASMV in project
+;
+;    compile the asm file running
+;           ml /coff /Zi /c /Flmatch686.lst match686.asm
+;    and do not include match686.obj in your project
+;
+; note: contrib of zLib 1.2.3 and earlier contained both a deprecated version for
+;  Pentium (prior Pentium Pro) and this version for Pentium Pro and modern processor
+;  with autoselect (with cpu detection code)
+;  if you want support the old pentium optimization, you can still use these version
+;
+; this file is not optimized for old pentium, but it compatible with all x86 32 bits
+; processor (starting 80386)

+MiniZip - Copyright (c) 1998-2010 - by Gilles Vollant - version 1.1 64 bits from Mathias Svensson
+
+Introduction
+---------------------
+MiniZip 1.1 is built from MiniZip 1.0 by Gilles Vollant ( http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/minizip.html )
+
+When adding ZIP64 support into minizip it would result into risk of breaking compatibility with minizip 1.0.
+All possible work was done for compatibility.
+
+
+Background
+---------------------
+When adding ZIP64 support Mathias Svensson found that Even Rouault have added ZIP64 
+support for unzip.c into minizip for a open source project called gdal ( http://www.gdal.org/ )
+
+That was used as a starting point. And after that ZIP64 support was added to zip.c
+some refactoring and code cleanup was also done.
+
+
+Changed from MiniZip 1.0 to MiniZip 1.1
+---------------------------------------
+* Added ZIP64 support for unzip ( by Even Rouault )
+* Added ZIP64 support for zip ( by Mathias Svensson )
+* Reverted some changed that Even Rouault did.
+* Bunch of patches received from Gulles Vollant that he received for MiniZip from various users.
+* Added unzip patch for BZIP Compression method (patch create by Daniel Borca)
+* Added BZIP Compress method for zip
+* Did some refactoring and code cleanup
+
+

+
+    Oct-2009 - Defined ZPOS64_T to fpos_t on windows and u_int64_t on linux. (might need to find a better why for this)
+    Oct-2009 - Change to fseeko64, ftello64 and fopen64 so large files would work on linux.
+               More if/def section may be needed to support other platforms
+    Oct-2009 - Defined fxxxx64 calls to normal fopen/ftell/fseek so they would compile on windows.
+                          (but you should use iowin32.c for windows instead)

+.SH NAME
+miniunzip - uncompress and examine ZIP archives
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B miniunzip
+.RI [ -exvlo ]
+zipfile [ files_to_extract ] [-d tempdir]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B minizip
+is a simple tool which allows the extraction of compressed file
+archives in the ZIP format used by the MS-DOS utility PKZIP.  It was
+written as a demonstration of the
+.IR zlib (3)
+library and therefore lack many of the features of the
+.IR unzip (1)
+program.
+.SH OPTIONS
+A number of options are supported.  With the exception of
+.BI \-d\  tempdir
+these must be supplied before any
+other arguments and are:
+.TP
+.BI \-l\ ,\ \-\-v
+List the files in the archive without extracting them.
+.TP
+.B \-o
+Overwrite files without prompting for confirmation.
+.TP
+.B \-x
+Extract files (default).
+.PP
+The
+.I zipfile
+argument is the name of the archive to process. The next argument can be used
+to specify a single file to extract from the archive.
+
+Lastly, the following option can be specified at the end of the command-line:
+.TP
+.BI \-d\  tempdir
+Extract the archive in the directory
+.I tempdir
+rather than the current directory.
+.SH SEE ALSO
+.BR minizip (1),
+.BR zlib (3),
+.BR unzip (1).
+.SH AUTHOR
+This program was written by Gilles Vollant.  This manual page was
+written by Mark Brown <broonie@sirena.org.uk>. The -d tempdir option
+was added by Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>.

+.SH NAME
+minizip - create ZIP archives
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B minizip
+.RI [ -o ]
+zipfile [ " files" ... ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B minizip
+is a simple tool which allows the creation of compressed file archives
+in the ZIP format used by the MS-DOS utility PKZIP.  It was written as
+a demonstration of the
+.IR zlib (3)
+library and therefore lack many of the features of the
+.IR zip (1)
+program.
+.SH OPTIONS
+The first argument supplied is the name of the ZIP archive to create or
+.RI -o
+in which case it is ignored and the second argument treated as the
+name of the ZIP file.  If the ZIP file already exists it will be
+overwritten.
+.PP
+Subsequent arguments specify a list of files to place in the ZIP
+archive.  If none are specified then an empty archive will be created.

+  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  Decryption code comes from crypt.c by Info-ZIP but has been greatly reduced in terms of
+  compatibility with older software. The following is from the original crypt.c.
+  Code woven in by Terry Thorsen 1/2003.
+
+  Copyright (c) 1990-2000 Info-ZIP.  All rights reserved.
+
+  See the accompanying file LICENSE, version 2000-Apr-09 or later
+  (the contents of which are also included in zip.h) for terms of use.
+  If, for some reason, all these files are missing, the Info-ZIP license
+  also may be found at:  ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/license.html
+
+        crypt.c (full version) by Info-ZIP.      Last revised:  [see crypt.h]
+
+  The encryption/decryption parts of this source code (as opposed to the
+  non-echoing password parts) were originally written in Europe.  The
+  whole source package can be freely distributed, including from the USA.
+  (Prior to January 2000, re-export from the US was a violation of US law.)
+
+        This encryption code is a direct transcription of the algorithm from
+  Roger Schlafly, described by Phil Katz in the file appnote.txt.  This
+  file (appnote.txt) is distributed with the PKZIP program (even in the
+  version without encryption capabilities).

+
+        Changes in unzip.c
+
+        2007-2008 - Even Rouault - Addition of cpl_unzGetCurrentFileZStreamPos
+  2007-2008 - Even Rouault - Decoration of symbol names unz* -> cpl_unz*
+  2007-2008 - Even Rouault - Remove old C style function prototypes
+  2007-2008 - Even Rouault - Add unzip support for ZIP64
+
+        Copyright (C) 2007-2008 Even Rouault
+
+
+        Oct-2009 - Mathias Svensson - Removed cpl_* from symbol names (Even Rouault added them but since this is now moved to a new project (minizip64) I renamed them again).
+  Oct-2009 - Mathias Svensson - Fixed problem if uncompressed size was > 4G and compressed size was <4G
+                                should only read the compressed/uncompressed size from the Zip64 format if
+                                the size from normal header was 0xFFFFFFFF
+  Oct-2009 - Mathias Svensson - Applied some bug fixes from paches recived from Gilles Vollant
+        Oct-2009 - Mathias Svensson - Applied support to unzip files with compression mathod BZIP2 (bzip2 lib is required)
+                                Patch created by Daniel Borca
+
+  Jan-2010 - back to unzip and minizip 1.0 name scheme, with compatibility layer

+         Copyright (C) 2009-2010 Mathias Svensson ( http://result42.com )
+
+         For more info read MiniZip_info.txt
+
+         Changes
+   Oct-2009 - Mathias Svensson - Remove old C style function prototypes
+   Oct-2009 - Mathias Svensson - Added Zip64 Support when creating new file archives
+   Oct-2009 - Mathias Svensson - Did some code cleanup and refactoring to get better overview of some functions.
+   Oct-2009 - Mathias Svensson - Added zipRemoveExtraInfoBlock to strip extra field data from its ZIP64 data
+                                 It is used when recreting zip archive with RAW when deleting items from a zip.
+                                 ZIP64 data is automaticly added to items that needs it, and existing ZIP64 data need to be removed.
+   Oct-2009 - Mathias Svensson - Added support for BZIP2 as compression mode (bzip2 lib is required)
+   Jan-2010 - back to unzip and minizip 1.0 name scheme, with compatibility layer

+Directory listing
+=================
+
+zlibd32.mak     makefile for Borland C++
+example.pas     usage example of zlib
+zlibpas.pas     the Pascal interface to zlib
+readme.txt      this file
+
+
+Compatibility notes
+===================
+
+- Although the name "zlib" would have been more normal for the
+  zlibpas unit, this name is already taken by Borland's ZLib unit.
+  This is somehow unfortunate, because that unit is not a genuine
+  interface to the full-fledged zlib functionality, but a suite of
+  class wrappers around zlib streams.  Other essential features,
+  such as checksums, are missing.
+  It would have been more appropriate for that unit to have a name
+  like "ZStreams", or something similar.
+
+- The C and zlib-supplied types int, uInt, long, uLong, etc. are
+  translated directly into Pascal types of similar sizes (Integer,
+  LongInt, etc.), to avoid namespace pollution.  In particular,
+  there is no conversion of unsigned int into a Pascal unsigned
+  integer.  The Word type is non-portable and has the same size
+  (16 bits) both in a 16-bit and in a 32-bit environment, unlike
+  Integer.  Even if there is a 32-bit Cardinal type, there is no
+  real need for unsigned int in zlib under a 32-bit environment.
+
+- Except for the callbacks, the zlib function interfaces are
+  assuming the calling convention normally used in Pascal
+  (__pascal for DOS and Windows16, __fastcall for Windows32).
+  Since the cdecl keyword is used, the old Turbo Pascal does
+  not work with this interface.
+
+- The gz* function interfaces are not translated, to avoid
+  interfacing problems with the C runtime library.  Besides,
+    gzprintf(gzFile file, const char *format, ...)
+  cannot be translated into Pascal.

+Puff -- A Simple Inflate
+3 Mar 2003
+Mark Adler
+madler@alumni.caltech.edu
+
+What this is --
+
+puff.c provides the routine puff() to decompress the deflate data format.  It
+does so more slowly than zlib, but the code is about one-fifth the size of the
+inflate code in zlib, and written to be very easy to read.
+
+Why I wrote this --
+
+puff.c was written to document the deflate format unambiguously, by virtue of
+being working C code.  It is meant to supplement RFC 1951, which formally
+describes the deflate format.  I have received many questions on details of the
+deflate format, and I hope that reading this code will answer those questions.
+puff.c is heavily commented with details of the deflate format, especially
+those little nooks and cranies of the format that might not be obvious from a
+specification.
+
+puff.c may also be useful in applications where code size or memory usage is a
+very limited resource, and speed is not as important.
+
+How to use it --
+
+Well, most likely you should just be reading puff.c and using zlib for actual
+applications, but if you must ...
+
+Include puff.h in your code, which provides this prototype:
+
+int puff(unsigned char *dest,           /* pointer to destination pointer */
+         unsigned long *destlen,        /* amount of output space */
+         unsigned char *source,         /* pointer to source data pointer */
+         unsigned long *sourcelen);     /* amount of input available */
+
+Then you can call puff() to decompress a deflate stream that is in memory in
+its entirety at source, to a sufficiently sized block of memory for the
+decompressed data at dest.  puff() is the only external symbol in puff.c  The
+only C library functions that puff.c needs are setjmp() and longjmp(), which
+are used to simplify error checking in the code to improve readabilty.  puff.c
+does no memory allocation, and uses less than 2K bytes off of the stack.
+
+If destlen is not enough space for the uncompressed data, then inflate will
+return an error without writing more than destlen bytes.  Note that this means
+that in order to decompress the deflate data successfully, you need to know
+the size of the uncompressed data ahead of time.
+
+If needed, puff() can determine the size of the uncompressed data with no
+output space.  This is done by passing dest equal to (unsigned char *)0.  Then
+the initial value of *destlen is ignored and *destlen is set to the length of
+the uncompressed data.  So if the size of the uncompressed data is not known,
+then two passes of puff() can be used--first to determine the size, and second
+to do the actual inflation after allocating the appropriate memory.  Not
+pretty, but it works.  (This is one of the reasons you should be using zlib.)
+
+The deflate format is self-terminating.  If the deflate stream does not end
+in *sourcelen bytes, puff() will return an error without reading at or past
+endsource.
+
+On return, *sourcelen is updated to the amount of input data consumed, and
+*destlen is updated to the size of the uncompressed data.  See the comments
+in puff.c for the possible return codes for puff().

+ *
+ * puff.c is a simple inflate written to be an unambiguous way to specify the
+ * deflate format.  It is not written for speed but rather simplicity.  As a
+ * side benefit, this code might actually be useful when small code is more
+ * important than speed, such as bootstrap applications.  For typical deflate
+ * data, zlib's inflate() is about four times as fast as puff().  zlib's
+ * inflate compiles to around 20K on my machine, whereas puff.c compiles to
+ * around 4K on my machine (a PowerPC using GNU cc).  If the faster decode()
+ * function here is used, then puff() is only twice as slow as zlib's
+ * inflate().
+ *
+ * All dynamically allocated memory comes from the stack.  The stack required
+ * is less than 2K bytes.  This code is compatible with 16-bit int's and
+ * assumes that long's are at least 32 bits.  puff.c uses the short data type,
+ * assumed to be 16 bits, for arrays in order to to conserve memory.  The code
+ * works whether integers are stored big endian or little endian.
+ *
+ * In the comments below are "Format notes" that describe the inflate process
+ * and document some of the less obvious aspects of the format.  This source
+ * code is meant to supplement RFC 1951, which formally describes the deflate
+ * format:

+ * Decode literal/length and distance codes until an end-of-block code.
+ *
+ * Format notes:
+ *
+ * - Compressed data that is after the block type if fixed or after the code
+ *   description if dynamic is a combination of literals and length/distance
+ *   pairs terminated by and end-of-block code.  Literals are simply Huffman
+ *   coded bytes.  A length/distance pair is a coded length followed by a
+ *   coded distance to represent a string that occurs earlier in the
+ *   uncompressed data that occurs again at the current location.
+ *
+ * - Literals, lengths, and the end-of-block code are combined into a single
+ *   code of up to 286 symbols.  They are 256 literals (0..255), 29 length
+ *   symbols (257..285), and the end-of-block symbol (256).
+ *
+ * - There are 256 possible lengths (3..258), and so 29 symbols are not enough
+ *   to represent all of those.  Lengths 3..10 and 258 are in fact represented
+ *   by just a length symbol.  Lengths 11..257 are represented as a symbol and
+ *   some number of extra bits that are added as an integer to the base length
+ *   of the length symbol.  The number of extra bits is determined by the base
+ *   length symbol.  These are in the static arrays below, lens[] for the base
+ *   lengths and lext[] for the corresponding number of extra bits.
+ *
+ * - The reason that 258 gets its own symbol is that the longest length is used
+ *   often in highly redundant files.  Note that 258 can also be coded as the
+ *   base value 227 plus the maximum extra value of 31.  While a good deflate
+ *   should never do this, it is not an error, and should be decoded properly.
+ *
+ * - If a length is decoded, including its extra bits if any, then it is
+ *   followed a distance code.  There are up to 30 distance symbols.  Again
+ *   there are many more possible distances (1..32768), so extra bits are added
+ *   to a base value represented by the symbol.  The distances 1..4 get their
+ *   own symbol, but the rest require extra bits.  The base distances and
+ *   corresponding number of extra bits are below in the static arrays dist[]
+ *   and dext[].
+ *
+ * - Literal bytes are simply written to the output.  A length/distance pair is
+ *   an instruction to copy previously uncompressed bytes to the output.  The
+ *   copy is from distance bytes back in the output stream, copying for length
+ *   bytes.
+ *
+ * - Distances pointing before the beginning of the output data are not
+ *   permitted.
+ *
+ * - Overlapped copies, where the length is greater than the distance, are
+ *   allowed and common.  For example, a distance of one and a length of 258
+ *   simply copies the last byte 258 times.  A distance of four and a length of
+ *   twelve copies the last four bytes three times.  A simple forward copy
+ *   ignoring whether the length is greater than the distance or not implements
+ *   this correctly.  You should not use memcpy() since its behavior is not
+ *   defined for overlapped arrays.  You should not use memmove() or bcopy()
+ *   since though their behavior -is- defined for overlapping arrays, it is
+ *   defined to do the wrong thing in this case.

+ * Process a dynamic codes block.
+ *
+ * Format notes:
+ *
+ * - A dynamic block starts with a description of the literal/length and
+ *   distance codes for that block.  New dynamic blocks allow the compressor to
+ *   rapidly adapt to changing data with new codes optimized for that data.
+ *
+ * - The codes used by the deflate format are "canonical", which means that
+ *   the actual bits of the codes are generated in an unambiguous way simply
+ *   from the number of bits in each code.  Therefore the code descriptions
+ *   are simply a list of code lengths for each symbol.
+ *
+ * - The code lengths are stored in order for the symbols, so lengths are
+ *   provided for each of the literal/length symbols, and for each of the
+ *   distance symbols.
+ *
+ * - If a symbol is not used in the block, this is represented by a zero as
+ *   as the code length.  This does not mean a zero-length code, but rather
+ *   that no code should be created for this symbol.  There is no way in the
+ *   deflate format to represent a zero-length code.
+ *
+ * - The maximum number of bits in a code is 15, so the possible lengths for
+ *   any code are 1..15.
+ *
+ * - The fact that a length of zero is not permitted for a code has an
+ *   interesting consequence.  Normally if only one symbol is used for a given
+ *   code, then in fact that code could be represented with zero bits.  However
+ *   in deflate, that code has to be at least one bit.  So for example, if
+ *   only a single distance base symbol appears in a block, then it will be
+ *   represented by a single code of length one, in particular one 0 bit.  This
+ *   is an incomplete code, since if a 1 bit is received, it has no meaning,
+ *   and should result in an error.  So incomplete distance codes of one symbol
+ *   should be permitted, and the receipt of invalid codes should be handled.
+ *
+ * - It is also possible to have a single literal/length code, but that code
+ *   must be the end-of-block code, since every dynamic block has one.  This
+ *   is not the most efficient way to create an empty block (an empty fixed
+ *   block is fewer bits), but it is allowed by the format.  So incomplete
+ *   literal/length codes of one symbol should also be permitted.
+ *
+ * - If there are only literal codes and no lengths, then there are no distance
+ *   codes.  This is represented by one distance code with zero bits.
+ *
+ * - The list of up to 286 length/literal lengths and up to 30 distance lengths
+ *   are themselves compressed using Huffman codes and run-length encoding.  In
+ *   the list of code lengths, a 0 symbol means no code, a 1..15 symbol means
+ *   that length, and the symbols 16, 17, and 18 are run-length instructions.
+ *   Each of 16, 17, and 18 are follwed by extra bits to define the length of
+ *   the run.  16 copies the last length 3 to 6 times.  17 represents 3 to 10
+ *   zero lengths, and 18 represents 11 to 138 zero lengths.  Unused symbols
+ *   are common, hence the special coding for zero lengths.
+ *
+ * - The symbols for 0..18 are Huffman coded, and so that code must be
+ *   described first.  This is simply a sequence of up to 19 three-bit values
+ *   representing no code (0) or the code length for that symbol (1..7).
+ *
+ * - A dynamic block starts with three fixed-size counts from which is computed
+ *   the number of literal/length code lengths, the number of distance code
+ *   lengths, and the number of code length code lengths (ok, you come up with
+ *   a better name!) in the code descriptions.  For the literal/length and
+ *   distance codes, lengths after those provided are considered zero, i.e. no
+ *   code.  The code length code lengths are received in a permuted order (see
+ *   the order[] array below) to make a short code length code length list more
+ *   likely.  As it turns out, very short and very long codes are less likely
+ *   to be seen in a dynamic code description, hence what may appear initially
+ *   to be a peculiar ordering.
+ *
+ * - Given the number of literal/length code lengths (nlen) and distance code
+ *   lengths (ndist), then they are treated as one long list of nlen + ndist
+ *   code lengths.  Therefore run-length coding can and often does cross the
+ *   boundary between the two sets of lengths.
+ *
+ * - So to summarize, the code description at the start of a dynamic block is
+ *   three counts for the number of code lengths for the literal/length codes,
+ *   the distance codes, and the code length codes.  This is followed by the
+ *   code length code lengths, three bits each.  This is used to construct the
+ *   code length code which is used to read the remainder of the lengths.  Then
+ *   the literal/length code lengths and distance lengths are read as a single
+ *   set of lengths using the code length codes.  Codes are constructed from
+ *   the resulting two sets of lengths, and then finally you can start
+ *   decoding actual compressed data in the block.
+ *
+ * - For reference, a "typical" size for the code description in a dynamic
+ *   block is around 80 bytes.

+Building instructions for the DLL versions of Zlib 1.2.8
+========================================================
+
+This directory contains projects that build zlib and minizip using
+Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0/10.0.
+
+You don't need to build these projects yourself. You can download the
+binaries from:
+  http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll
+
+More information can be found at this site.
+
+
+
+
+
+Build instructions for Visual Studio 2008 (32 bits or 64 bits)
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+- Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files
+- Compile assembly code (with Visual Studio Command Prompt) by running:
+   bld_ml64.bat (in contrib\masmx64)
+   bld_ml32.bat (in contrib\masmx86)
+- Open contrib\vstudio\vc9\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008
+- Or run: vcbuild /rebuild contrib\vstudio\vc9\zlibvc.sln "Release|Win32"
+
+Build instructions for Visual Studio 2010 (32 bits or 64 bits)
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+- Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files
+- Open contrib\vstudio\vc10\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010
+
+Build instructions for Visual Studio 2012 (32 bits or 64 bits)
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+- Uncompress current zlib, including all contrib/* files
+- Open contrib\vstudio\vc11\zlibvc.sln with Microsoft Visual C++ 2012
+
+
+Important
+---------
+- To use zlibwapi.dll in your application, you must define the
+  macro ZLIB_WINAPI when compiling your application's source files.
+
+
+Additional notes
+----------------
+- This DLL, named zlibwapi.dll, is compatible to the old zlib.dll built
+  by Gilles Vollant from the zlib 1.1.x sources, and distributed at
+    http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll
+  It uses the WINAPI calling convention for the exported functions, and
+  includes the minizip functionality. If your application needs that
+  particular build of zlib.dll, you can rename zlibwapi.dll to zlib.dll.
+
+- The new DLL was renamed because there exist several incompatible
+  versions of zlib.dll on the Internet.
+
+- There is also an official DLL build of zlib, named zlib1.dll. This one
+  is exporting the functions using the CDECL convention. See the file
+  win32\DLL_FAQ.txt found in this zlib distribution.
+
+- There used to be a ZLIB_DLL macro in zlib 1.1.x, but now this symbol
+  has a slightly different effect. To avoid compatibility problems, do
+  not define it here.
