+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.
+============================================================================
 
-	* unix/Makefile.in:
-	* win/Makefile.in: Use () around variable name
-	instead of {}. Use TCLTEST variable directly
-	instead of depending on the tcltest alias.

-2001-09-09  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+	*** 8.6.1 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
 
-	* generic/tcl.h:
-	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:  Reminder from David Cuthbert <dacut@kanga.org>
-	that I hadn't finished the Borland compatibility stuff.
-	[Patch: 436116]
-
-2001-09-09  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* tests/cmdAH.test: Modify cmdAH-20.5 and cmdAH-24.8
-	to display the file atime or mtime results if
-	the test fails.
-
-2001-09-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* win/mkd.bat:
-	* win/rmd.bat: made these text files, text files again.
-	[Patch: 451333]
-
-2001-09-08  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* win/mkd.bat:
-	* win/rmd.bat:
-	Apply binary property (cvs admin -kb) to files and convert
-	to CRLF linefeed format to fix the VC++ build. [Bug #219409]
-
-2001-09-08 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h: 
-	* generic/tclFCmd.c:
-	* doc/FileSystem.3:
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed Tcl_FSCopyFile fallback
-	to channel copying, since the channels will not have
-	access to interpreters and the channel copying currently
-	requires an interp.  Code which required cross-platform
-	copies always has interpreters, so that solves the problem.
-	Fixes bug in TclKit.
-	
-2001-09-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* win/tcl.m4: Added -link50compat option so a VC6 linker makes
-	a VC5 (pre sp3) compatible import library.
-	[Bug: 219257]
-
-2001-09-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpThreadExit): Cast status argument to
-	_endthreadex to unsigned instead of DWORD to match the Win32
-	function prototype.
-
-2001-09-06  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@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. [Bug #219211 #219399]

-	  encoding for Japanese.  Bug report and patch verification by Bob

-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]
-

-	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:  Another small trim finalizing Borland
-	support.
+2013-09-18  Donal Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
 
-	* 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]
+	Bump TclOO version to 1.0.1 for release.
 
-	* win/.cvsignore:  A few more glob patterns added.
+2013-09-17  Donal Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
 
-	* 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]
+	* generic/tclBinary.c (BinaryEncodeUu, BinaryDecodeUu): [Bug 2152292]:
+	Corrected implementation of the core of uuencode handling so that the
+	line length processing is correctly applied.
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Existing code that was using the old versions and working around the
+	limitations will now need to do far less. The -maxlen option now has
+	strict limits on the range of supported lengths; this is a limitation
+	of the format itself.
 
-2001-09-05 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+2013-09-09  Donal Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
 
-	* tests/winFCmd.test: made notWin2000 constraint false if not
-	running on Windows at all.
-	
-2001-09-04  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+	* generic/tclOOMethod.c (CloneProcedureMethod): [Bug 3609693]: Strip
+	the internal representation of method bodies during cloning in order
+	to ensure that any bound references to instance variables are removed.
 
-	* 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.
+2013-09-01  Donal Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
 
-	* 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/tclBinary.c (BinaryDecodeHex): [Bug b98fa55285]: Ensure that
+	whitespace at the end of a string don't cause the decoder to drop the
+	last decoded byte.
+
+2013-08-03  Donal Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* library/auto.tcl: [Patch 3611643]: Allow TclOO classes to be found
+	by the autoloading mechanism.
+
+2013-08-02  Donal Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+

+	things with metaclasses.
+
+2013-08-01  Harald Oehlmann  <oehhar@users.sf.net>

+	* generic/regc_locale.c: Bug [a876646efe]: re_expr character class
+	[:cntrl:] should contain \u0000 - \u001f
+
+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
+	registry key HCU\Control Panel\Desktop : PreferredUILanguages to honor

+	Bumped msgcat version to 1.5.2
+
+2013-05-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

+	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>
 
-	* 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:
+	* doc/file.n: [Bug 3613671]: Added note to portability section on the
+	fact that [file owned] does not produce useful results on Windows.
 
-		__declspec(dllexport) int func (int a, int b);
+2013-05-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
 
-	will have to be this with Borland:
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DefaultTempDir): [Bug 3613567]: Corrected logic
+	for checking return code of access() system call, which was inverted.
 
-		int __cdecl __export func (int a, int b);
+2013-05-19  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
 
-	The order of the attribute needs to be after the return type.
+	* unix/tcl.m4:     Fix for FreeBSD, and remove support for older
+	* unix/configure:  FreeBSD versions. Patch by Pietro Cerutti.
 
-2001-09-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+2013-05-18  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
 
-	* compat/strtod.c (strtod):  Fixed failure to handle expressions
-	like 3eq2 and failure to set errno on overflow.  [Bug 440894]
+	* generic/tclCompCmdsGR.c: Split tclCompCmds.c again to keep size of
+	code down.
 
-2001-09-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+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.
+

-
-	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

-
-	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.

+
+	* 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,
+	but ensures that pain will be mostly kept away from users.

+
+	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:
+	* yield:

+	[This was work originally done on the 'dkf-compile-misc-info' branch.]

+	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

+	* 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.

-	* generic/tcl.h: added note about need to updated
-	library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl with minor version increment.
+	* 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.
 
-	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl: updated to use 84 version to reflect

-	* 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. The SF Id of the patch is 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.

+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
+	* generic/tclResult.c:

-	* tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetClicks'' to use TclpGetTime to
- 	  determine the click count as a number of microseconds.
+	* generic/tclListObj.c:	FreeListInternalRep() cleanup.
 
-	* 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.
+2011-04-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
 
-	* 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.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Use macro to set List intreps.
+	* generic/tclListObj.c:
 
-	* 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.
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:	Limits on list length were too strict.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Revised panics to errors where possible.
+	* generic/tclListObj.c:
+	* tests/lrepeat.test:
 
-	* tclWinTest.c: Add a ''testwinclock'' command.  This command
- 	  returns a four element list comprising the seconds and

-	* generic/tclEvent.c: tclLibraryPath Tcl_Obj didn't have a way

-	* 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

-	* 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

-
-	* 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

-
-	* 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).
+	* generic/tclBasic.c, generic/tclClock.c, generic/tclEncoding.c,
+	* generic/tclEnv.c, generic/tclLoad.c, generic/tclNamesp.c,
+	* generic/tclObj.c, generic/tclRegexp.c, generic/tclResolve.c,
+	* generic/tclResult.c, generic/tclUtil.c, macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c:
+	More purging of strcpy() from locations where we already know the
+	length of the data being copied.
 
-	* win/Makefile.in:
-	* win/makefile.vc: Added generic/tclTheadJoin.o to the rules.
+2010-10-01  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
 
-	* mac/: I don't know to which file generic/tclTheadJoin.o has to
-	  be added to so that it compiles. Sorry.
+	[dogeen-assembler-branch]
 
-	* 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.
+	* tests/assemble.test:
+	* generic/tclAssemble.h:
+	* generic/tclAssemble.c:  Added listIn, listNotIn, and dictGet.
 
-	* generic/tclThreadTest.c: Added -joinable flag to 'testthread
-	  create'. Added subcommand 'testthread join'.

+
+	[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.

+	* 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

+	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl (make-man-pages): [Bug 3015327]: Make the
+	title of a manual page be stored relative to its resulting directory
+	name as well as its source filename. This was caused by both Tcl and a
+	contributed package ([incr Tcl]) defining an Object.3. Also corrected
+	the joining of strings in titles to avoid extra braces.
 
-	* 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.

-	* win/aclocal.m4: made it just include tcl.m4

+	***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.

+
+	* 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.

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

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

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

+2009-10-28  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/fileName.test (fileName-20.[78]): Corrected poor 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.

-	modifying eval'ed strings that are already null terminated.

-	* generic/tclEvent.c: lint
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSubstCmd): [Bug 2314561]:
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Added a bytecode compiler routine for the
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	[subst] command. This is a partial solution to
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:	the need to NR-enable [subst] since bytecode
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:	execution is already NR-enabled. Two new
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	bytecode instructions, INST_NOP and

+	* tests/parse.test:
 
-	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): Added call to TclWinInit

+2009-09-01  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

+	Reworked the handling of literal command arguments in bytecode to be

+	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

+	* generic/tclProc.c:    iPtr->compiledProcPtr when compiling a proc
+	* tests/execute.test:   survives too long. We only need it there long
+	enough for the right TclInitCompileEnv() call to re-stash it into

+	let the value of iPtr->compiledProcPtr linger, though, then any other
+	bytecode compile operation that takes place will also have its

-
-	* 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.

+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.

+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c:	[Bug 2571597]: Fixed mistaken logic in

+
+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.

+	* tests/stringObj.test:		(some part of) a Tcl_Obj to itself.
+	Added the appendself and appendself2 subcommands to the

+
+	* 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.

+	Part of scheme to address [Bug 1665628] by making the basic string
+	operations more efficient on byte arrays.
+	(Tcl_GetCharLength, Tcl_GetUniChar, Tcl_GetRange): More special casing
+	work for bytearrays.

-	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Fixed bug that kept
-	arguments containing spaces from being properly quoted.
+	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetStringFromObj): Reduce code duplication.
 
-	* tests/defs: Changed so auto_path is set to only contain the Tcl

-	have a chance to run whenever there is something to do.
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_(Attempt)SetObjLength):	[Bug 2553906]:
+	Added protections against callers asking for negative lengths.  It is

+

+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>

+2009-01-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
 
-	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (GetPermissionsAttribute): Increase size of
-	returnString buffer to avoid overflow. [Bug: 584]
+	* 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.
 
-	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (TclThreadSend): Fixed memory leak due
-	to use of TCL_VOLATILE instead of TCL_DYNAMIC.
+2009-01-13  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

+2009-01-13  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
 
-	* generic/tclTestObj.c (TeststringobjCmd): MAX_STRINGS was off by one
-	so the strings array was too small.

+	* library/init.tcl (throw):		to C from Tcl.
 
-	* 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    <stanton@GASPODE>
+	* 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].
 
-	* regexec.c: more performance tuning from Henry Spencer.
+2009-01-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
 
-1998-11-17    <stanton@GASPODE>
+	* 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.
 
-	* 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]
+2009-01-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
 
-	* 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]
+	* 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>
 
-	* tclVar.c (TclGetIndexedScalar): Fixed bug 796, var name was
-	getting lost before being passed to CallTraces.
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_UALLOC): [Bug 2494093]: Added missing
+	parens required to get correct results out of things like

+	* generic/tclObj.c, generic/tclStrToD.c, generic/tclUtil.c,
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Generate errorcodes for the error cases which

+	"You gave me the wrong number of arguments".
 
-	* integrated regexp updates from Henry Spencer
+2009-01-07  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
 
-1998-10-15    <stanton@GASPODE>
+	* doc/dict.n: [Tk Bug 2491235]: Added more examples.
 
-	* tclUtf.c: added Unicode character table support
+	* 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.
 
-	* tclInt.h: added TclUniCharIsWordChar
+2009-01-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
 
-	* tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): added "totitle" subcommand,
-	changed "wordend" and "wordstart" to properly handle Unicode word
-	characters and connector punctuation
+	* 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.

-	* auto.tcl, package.tcl: fixed SCCS strings

+	of dictionaries so that literals can't get destroyed.
 
-	* tclIndex: updated index to reflect 8.1 files
+	* tests/expr.test: [Bug 2006879]: Eliminate non-ASCII char.
 
-	* tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): changed to avoid modifying the

+	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].

+
+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

+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

+	* 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).

+	* 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

+
+	* 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:

+
+	* 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>

+
+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>

+	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.
+
+	* tests/reg.test:
+	* generic/rege_dfa.c: Applied fix supplied by Henry Spencer for bug in
+	DFA state caching under lookahead conditions. [Bug 2318]

+	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

+	* unix/tclXtTest.c:
+	* unix/tclXtNotify.c:
+	* win/tclWinNotify.c:
+	* mac/tclMacNotify.c: Added Tcl_SetNotifier and the associated hook

+	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:

+
+	* library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl:
+	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl:

+	* 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

+	* win/Makefile.in:
+	* 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
+	use the new tcltest package and removed references to the defs.tcl
+	file. Modified the README file to point to the man page for tcltest.
+
+1999-06-25  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+

+	definitions of character classes.
+
+1999-06-21  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+

+	Tcl_RegExpMatch. Added public macros for the regexp compile/execute
+	flags. Changed to store either an object pointer or a string pointer
+	in the TclRegexp structure. Changed to avoid adding a reference to the
+	object or copying the string.
+
+	* generic/regcomp.c: lint
+
+	* tests/reg.test:
+	* generic/regex.h:
+	* generic/regc_lex.c: Added REG_BOSONLY flag to allow Expect to

+
+1999-06-16  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/execute.test:

+	* test/stringObj.test
+	* unix/Makefile.in
+	* win/Makefile.in
+	* win/makefile.vc
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:
+	Merged String and Unicode object types. Added new functions to the
+	puplic API: Tcl_NewUnicodeObj, Tcl_SetUnicodeObj, Tcl_GetUnicode,
+	Tcl_GetUniChar, Tcl_GetCharLength, Tcl_GetRange,
+	Tcl_AppendUnicodeToObj.
+
+1999-06-09  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+

+
+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
+	connections would be reported to a server port. The 8.1.1 code needs
+	to be redesigned and fixed correctly.
+
+1999-06-07  Melissa Hirschl  <hershey@matisse.scriptics.com>

+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_SetVar2Ex):
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendObjToObj):
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): optimized the string index,
+	string length, string range, and append command in cases where the
+	object's internal rep is a bytearray. Objects with other internal reps
+	are converted to have the new unicode internal rep.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:

+	* win/Makefile.vc:
+	* tests/unicode.test:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclObj.c:
+	* generic/tclUnicodeObj.c: added a new object type to store the
+	unicode representation of a string.
+
+	* generic/tclTestObj.c: added the objtype option to the testobj
+	command. This option returns the name of the type of internal rep an
+	object has.
+
+1999-06-04  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/configure.in:

+
+1999-05-28  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c: Changed to eliminate use of isupper/tolower in

+
+	* win/Makefile.in:
+	* win/configure.in: Added preliminary TEA implementation.
+
+	* win/tclWinDde.c: Fixed bug where dde calls were being passed an

+
+1999-05-26  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptic.com>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadTest.c: Fixed race condition in testthread code

+1999-05-21  Scott Redman  <redman@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Fix bug when launching command.com on Win95/98.

+
+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/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]

+
+	* 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.

+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: Moved global regexps into thread local

+	Windows is slow to release sockets.
+
+	* win/tclWinConsole.c:
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:

+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Removed trailing backslash that broke the "depend"
+	target.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): Changed to avoid

+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c:
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:

+1999-03-26  Suresh Ankolekar  <suresh@scriptics.com>
+
+	* unix/configure.in: --nameble-shared is now the default and build Tcl

+
+1999-03-25  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/interp.test:
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (AliasObjCmd): Changed so aliases are invoked at

+
+	* library/encoding/big5.enc:

+
+	* tests/execute.test:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Fixed expression code

+	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>
+

+	* 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>

+
+	* 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

+
+	* 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

+	exit, so the process return value is set properly.
+
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:

+
+	* generic/tcl.h:

+	* 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:

+	* 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

+	using the genStubs.tcl script.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:

+	* unix/ldAix: Enhanced AIX shared library support.
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c: Removed a bunch of extraneous PASCAL FAR

+
+	* doc/package.n:
+	* doc/PkgRequire.3:
+	* generic/tclPkg.c: Added Tcl_PkgProvideEx, Tcl_RequireEx,

+	* mac/tclMacFile.c:
+	* mac/tclMacShLib.exp:
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: Changed so TclGetUserHome is defined on all

+	renamed it to TclpGetUserHome.
+
+	* generic/tclPanic.c:
+	* generic/panic.c: Renamed panic to Tcl_Panic.

+
+	* 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).

+
+1999-02-10  Scott Stanton  <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+	* library/auto.tcl: Fixed auto_mkindex so it handles .tbc files. Did

+	"list".
+
+	* unix/mkLinks:
+	* doc/SetVar.3:
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Restored Tcl_ObjGetVar2 and Tcl_ObjSetVar2 from

+
+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

+	* 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]

+	* 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

+
+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]

+
+	* Updated patchlevel to 8.1b1
+
+1998-12-02  Scott Stanton  <stanton@GASPODE>
+
+	* generic/regc_color.c (subcolor): Added check for error case to avoid

+
+	* 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>

+
+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

+
+	* 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,

+
+	* generic/tclTestObj.c (TeststringobjCmd): MAX_STRINGS was off by one
+	so the strings array was too small.

+	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>
+

+	* 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

+	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

+	* tests/expr-old.test: Re-wrote Tcl's [expr rand()] and [expr
+	srand($seed)] implementations, fixing a range error on some 64-bit

+	* 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

+
+	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:

+	between these commands. [Bug 119387]

+
+	* 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.

+	* 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.
+

+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c: tclLibraryPath Tcl_Obj didn't have a way to

+	the future will require the corresponding configure script to also be
+	re-autoconf'ed and checked in.
+
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/tcl.m4: makefile fixes for Win64 support
+
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): minor cast
+	changes.
+
+2000-11-01  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: removed use of -lbsd and -ldl for AIX-5.
+
+	* tests/subst.test: added tests for non-zero return code handling by
+	subst.
+	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_EvalEx): corrected handling of non-zero,
+	non-error return code cases for subst. [Bug 119829]
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclVarTraceExists): Corrected excessive mem use
+	when info exists was called on a non-existent array element. [Bug
+	119213, 119336]
+
+2000-10-30  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* win/configure.in:
+	* win/Makefile.in:
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/tcl.rc:
+	* win/tclsh.rc: Added logic to derive filenames better in the resource
+	scripts based on compile options.
+
+2000-10-30  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: added default encoding map from "ja_JP.eucJP" to
+	"euc-jp". (takahashi)
+
+	* tests/clock.test: corrected clock-2.* test numbering
+
+	* unix/configure.in (SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS): removed code that was
+	commented out (it had been moved to tcl.m4's SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS
+	already).
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: consolidated gettimeofday check for AIX.
+
+2000-10-27  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* unix/tcl.m4: added support for AIX-5.
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_NotifyChannel): removed #ifdef around code for
+	old channel structures, placed preserve/release around statePtr
+	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): the statePtr for a channel was not
+	being freed when the last channel in a stack was freed, causing a mem
+	leak.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: updated channel types to strict
+	TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_2 style to avoid compiler warnings. They work
+	either way, but this avoids compiler warnings (that worries people).
+
+2000-10-27  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Removed a cd into the test directory
+	in runAllTests that screwed up the temporary directory setting,
+	effectively preventing users from running tests on multiple platforms
+	at the same time.
+
+2000-10-26  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchFilesTypes): NULL was being set to "attr"
+	which was a DWORD. Changed NULL to zero because a 'void *' can't be
+	set to a DWORD to avoid the compiler warning.
+
+2000-10-24  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* tests/all.tcl: Removed support for tcltest 1.0.
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test:
+	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl:
+	* library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl:
+	* docs/tcltest.n: Moved tcltest2 code so that it's the standard
+	version of tcltest. Removed all tcltest2 files (tests/tcltest2.test,
+	library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl, docs/tcltest2.n).
+
+2000-10-20  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchFilesTypes): made the stat call only
+	occur when necessary (for 'glob' command). Significantly speeds up
+	glob command from 8.3. [BUG: 6216]
+
+2000-10-19  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl:
+	* tests/tcltest2
+	* doc/tcltest2.n: Code and documentation cleanup. Modified -verbose to
+	take list of keywords as well as string of letters. Removed Tcl
+	version information from tcltest. Removed tcltest::grep from tcltest
+	package. Added optional 3rd directory argument to
+	makeFile/makeDirectory and removeFile/removeDirectory.
+
+	* tests/basic.test: Changed references to tcltest::tclVersion to
+	hardcoded numbers.
+	* generic/tcl.h: Changed reference to tcltest2.tcl and tcltest.tcl in
+	comments to tests/basic.test.
+
+2000-10-06  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinChan.c: moved Win2K bug case test with GetStdHandle() from
+	TclpGetDefaultStdChannel into Tcl_MakeFileChannel to enable a more
+	general method in detecting invalid OS handles rather than just a
+	specific known case. [BUG: 5971]
+
+2000-10-06  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: extra tests for 'file channels' that include
+	multiple interpreter tests and channel sharing
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetChannelNamesEx): corrected function (and
+	consequently 'file channels') to return channels that are actually
+	registered for this specific interp, rather than this thread.
+
+	* doc/CrtChannel.3: fixed spelling mistakes
+
+2000-09-29  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl:
+	* tests/tcltest2.test:
+	* doc/tcltest2.n: Modified the new form of the test command to accept
+	both attribute-value pairs and command line options. Updated the tests
+	and the documentation for this new format. Also changed the option
+	names for the test command.
+
+2000-09-29  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialGetOptionProc): corrected reporting of
+	space parity on Windows (Eason) [Bug 6057].
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: commented use of TESTFLAGS
+	* unix/Makefile.in: added TESTFLAGS to test target to conform with
+	Windows makefile and TEA style.
+
+	* tests/stack.test: prevented possible crash on systems with low
+	default stacksize (Tru64, AIX) in infinite recursion test. A solution
+	to check remaining stack space in the core is best, but hard to do in
+	a cross-platform manner.
+
+	* generic/tclIOGT.c (FLUSH_DELAY): renamed DELAY define to FLUSH_DELAY
+	to avoid defn conflict using Tru64's cc.
+
+2000-09-28  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* tools/tcl.wse.in: added tclPlatDecls.h and tkPlatDecls.h to the
+	Windows .exe install.
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-6.20): corrected test to remove c:/tcl8975@
+	after creating it.
+
+	* tests/fileName.test: cleaned up the testing of glob patterns for
+	c:/globTest (Windows) to directly create/remove directory.
+
+2000-09-27  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* generic/tclIO.c: updated Tcl_IsChannelShared,
+	Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel,
+	Tcl_IsChannelExisting, and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers to conform to the
+	new stacked channel implementation. Their stub slots were also moved
+	to give preference to the new 8.3.2 stub functions. This will cause an
+	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:
+	* generic/tclIO.h:
+	* generic/tclIOGT.c:

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

+	******************************************************
+
+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.

+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>

+
+	* 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

+
+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/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

+	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

+
+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  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].

+
+	* library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl:
+	* doc/msgcat.n:
+	* tests/msgcat.test: Applied patches from Chris Nelson, to provide the
+	mcmset function, which allows the translator to set multiple string
+	translations in a single function call, rather than requiring many
+	calls to mcset. [RFE: 6000, 5993]. In addition, these patches correct

+
+	* 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.

+	inneffectual STR_RANGE "special" ByteArray support. Optimized STR_MAP
+	algorithm, especially optimized for one-pair case. Fixed possible mem

+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c: changed INST_STREQ -> INST_STR_EQ,

+	evalstats output info with Tcl_IsShared stat info.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_DbIsShared): added support for checking result

+
+	* doc/source.n:
+	* doc/Eval.3:
+	* tests/source.test:
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_EvalFile): added explicit \32 (^Z) eofchar
+	(affects Tcl_EvalFile in C, "source" in Tcl). This was implicit on
+	Windows already, and is now cross-platform to allow for scripted

+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c (GetLexeme): added 'eq' and 'ne' expr parse
+	terms (string (in)equality check).
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LinsertObjCmd): made use of
+	Tcl_DuplicateObj where code was otherwise duplicated. Made special
+	case of inserting one element at the end work again (where index ==

+	(Tcl_LreplaceObjCmd): moved Tcl_DuplicateObj call lower and cleaned
+	up use of other arguments.
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_DuplicateObj): simplified code to call
+	TclInitStringRep, which the code was just duplicating in part.

+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclUtf.c: Added new functions Tcl_UniCharNcasecmp and

+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.
+
+2000-04-27  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

+	[Bug: 1271].
+
+	* doc/Init.3: Manual entry for Tcl_Init [Bug: 1820].
+
+	* doc/expr.n: Added documentation for each of the math library
+	functions that expr supports [Bug: 1054].
+
+2000-04-26  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
+
+	* doc/memory.n: Man page for Tcl "memory" command, which is created
+	when TCL_MEM_DEBUG is defined at compile time.
+
+	* doc/TCL_MEM_DEBUG.3: Man page with overall information about
+	TCL_MEM_DEBUG usage.
+
+	* doc/DumpActiveMemory.3: Man page for Tcl_DumpActiveMemory,
+	Tcl_InitMemory, and Tcl_ValidateAllMemory [Bug: 1816, 1835].
+
+	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: Fixed some function headers.
+
+	* 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].

+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_FinalizeNotifier, NotifierThreadProc):

+
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_MutexLock): minor comment fixes.
+
+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.
+
+2000-04-18  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

+
+	* 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

+
+2000-04-12  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+

+
+2000-04-11  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Added "CONST" keyword to declaration of char

+
+2000-04-10  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Fixed Tcl_CreateThread declaration.

+
+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
+	@scriptics.com [Bug: 4173]
+
+2000-02-28  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/clock.test: Added test for ISO bases < 100000
+
+	* generic/tclDate.c: (generated on Solaris)
+	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Changed condition for deciding if a number is
+	an ISO 8601 base from number >= 100000 to numberOfDigits >= 6.
+	Previously it would fail to recognize 000000 as an ISO base.
+
+2000-02-14  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Added rpm target to generate Tcl binary RPM.
+
+	* unix/tcl.spec: RPM specification file for a Tcl binary RPM for
+	Linux.
+
+2000-02-10  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

+
+	* win/tclWinLoad.c (TclpLoadFile): improved error message for load
+	failures, could perhaps be even more intelligent.
+
+2000-02-09  Jim Ingham	 <jingham@cygnus.com>
+
+	* mac/tclMacSock.c: Don't panic when you get an error closing an async
+	socket. This doesn't seem to hurt anything, and we return the error so
+	the caller can do the right thing.
+
+	New Files:
+	* mac/MW_TclHeader.h:
+	* mac/MW_TclTestHeader.h:
+	* mac/MW_TclTestHeader.pch:
+	* mac/MW_TclAppleScriptHeader.h: More convenient to use .h prefix
+	files in the preference panels...
+
+	The above are curtesy of Daniel Steffen (steffen@math.mq.edu.au)
+
+2000-02-08  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/clock.test: Added tests for "next monthname" constructs.
+	* generic/tclDate.c:
+	* generic/tclGetDate.y (Message): Added a grammar rule for "next
+	monthname" so that we can handle "next january" and similar constructs
+	(bug #4146).

+	* generic/tcl.decls: change Tcl_GetOpenFile to use decl of 'int
+	forWriting' instead of 'int write' to avoid shadowing [Bug: 4121]
+
+	* tests/httpold.test: changed test script to source in the httpd
+	server procs from httpd instead of having its own set.
+

+
+2000-02-03  Eric Melski <ericm@scriptics.com>
+
+	* doc/Package.n:
+	* doc/packagens.n: Renamed Package.n -> packagens.n because Windows
+	can't deal with case-sensitive names.
+
+2000-02-02  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/regexp.test: added tests for -all and -inline switches

+2000-01-31  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/package.test:
+	* library/tclIndex:
+	* library/package.tcl: Added ::package namespace and ::package::create
+	function.
+
+	* library/init.tcl: Fixed problem with auto_load and determining if

+
+2000-01-28  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/pkg/magicchar2.tcl:
+	* tests/autoMkindex.test: Test for auto loader fix (bug #2480).
+
+	* library/init.tcl: auto_load was using [info commands $name] to
+	determine if a given command was available; if the command name had *
+	or [] it, this would fail because info commands uses glob-style
+	matching. This is fixed. (Bug #2480).
+
+	* tests/pkg/spacename.tcl:
+	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Tests for fix for bug #2360.
+
+	* library/package.tcl: Fixed to extract only the first element of the
+	list returned by auto_qualify (bug #2360).
+
+	* tests/pkg/magicchar.tcl:
+	* 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:
+	* library/auto.tcl: Applied patch (with slight modification) from bug
+	#2701: auto_mkIndex uses platform dependent file paths. Added test for
+	fix.
+
+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
+	absolute path given the name of the variable containing the path to
+	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).
+
+2000-01-26  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

+	functions.
+
+2000-01-25  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: modified EXTRA_CFLAGS to add -DHAVE_TZSET for OSF1-V*
+	and ULTRIX-4.* when not using gcc. Also added higher min stack size
+	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]
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): fixed potential leak when
+	calling lsort -command with bad command [Bug: 4067]

+
+	* library/init.tcl (auto_execok): added 'start' to list of recognized
+	built-in commands for COMSPEC on NT. [Bug: 2858]
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: moved include of <utime.h> lower since some
+	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.
+	[Bug: 3878]
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: improved guessing of path separator for the
+	Mac. (Darley)
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tcl.decls: moved Tcl_ProcObjCmd to stubs table [Bug: 3827]
+	and removed 'register' from stub definition of
+	Tcl_AppendUnicodeToObj [Bug: 4038]
+
+2000-01-21  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
+
+	* unix/mkLinks:
+	* doc/GetHostName.3: Man page for Tcl_GetHostName (bug #1817).
+
+	* doc/lreplace.n: Corrected man page with respect to treatment of
+	empty lists, and "prettied up" the page. (bug #1705).
+
+2000-01-20  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/namespace.test: Added test for undefined variables with
+	namespace which (bug #956).
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c: Added check for undefined variables in
+	NamespaceWhichCmd (bug #956).
+
+	* tests/var.test: Added tests for corrected variable behavior (bug
+	#981).
+
+	* doc/upvar.n: Expanded explanation of upvar behavior with respect to
+	variable traces. (bugs 3917 1433 2110).
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Changed behavior of variable command when name
+	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
+	for [info body] should make it unnecessary
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): added cast for tsdPtr
+
+	* tests/set.test: added test for complex array elem name compiling
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSetCmd): Fixed parsing of array
+	elements during compiling, and slightly optimised same [Bug: 3889]
+
+	* doc/tclvars.n: added definitions for tcl_(non)wordchars
+
+	* doc/vwait.n: added notes about requirement for vwait var being
+	globally scoped [Bug: 3329]
+
+	* library/word.tcl: changed tcl_(non)wordchars settings to use new
+	unicode regexp char class escapes instead of char sequences
+
+2000-01-14  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/var.test: Added a test for the array multiple delete
+	protection in Tcl_UnsetVar2.
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Added protection in Tcl_UnsetVar2 against attempts
+	to multiply delete arrays when unsetting them (bug #3453). This could
+	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.
+
+2000-01-13  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

+
+2000-01-13  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>
+
+	* tests/cmdIL.test: Added tests for lsort -dictionary with characters
+	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.
+
+2000-01-12  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

+
+	* doc/file.n:

+
+	* mac/tclMacInit.c:
+	* mac/tclMacTclCode.r: synced up tclInit features to unix/win:
+	implemented TclSetPreInitScript support, use of existing tclInit proc
+	if defined, check of default encoding dir if set. Changed script
+	library resource names to lowercase (i.e. same as corresponding
+	files). Used Tcl_JoinPath instead of string append. Check that system

+2001-12-19  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tools/tcl.wse.in: Fix for [Bug 495120]. tcl.wse.in was stored in cvs

+	that pop a variable number of Tcl_Obj's off the execution stack take
+	the number of popped objects as first operand. Modified *only* the new
+	instructions INST_LIST_INDEX_MULTI and INST_LSET_FLAT, so this has no
+	effect on bytecodes generated up to tcl8.4a3 inclusive.

+	* tests/expr-old.test, tests/compile.test, tests/compExpr.test
+	* tests/compExpr-old.test: Kept up to date with syntax errors.
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c (ParsePrimaryExpr): Rewrote to give even
+	better syntax errors in the fairly common case of an identifier
+	without decorations by guessing based on the currently available
+	functions. Also made messages consistent between memdebug and ordinary
+	builds.
+
+2001-12-05  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c:
+	* tests/trace.test: new algorithm for [array get], safe when there are
+	traces that modify the array. [Bug 449893]
+
+2001-12-04  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

+	* tests/parseExpr.test: Rewrite to get rid of dup test numbers and
+	handle more specific syntax errors.
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c (LogSyntaxError): Added a detail message
+	argument to help explain what the syntax error is.
+	(Tcl_ParseExpr, ParseCondExpr, ParsePrimaryExpr): Added detail
+	messages.
+	(UNKNOWN_CHAR): New lexeme for characters that are always illegal in
+	expressions outside strings.
+
+2001-12-03  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/expr.n: Various documentation improvements in relation to the
+	function calls. Includes fix for [Bug 487704] submitted by Devin Eyre.
+
+2001-12-03  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: Some install target bugs repaired along with
+	$(TCLSTUBLIB) added to the dependencies rather than implicit through
+	the dde and reg extensions which don't happen to always require it for
+	some build types.
+
+2001-11-30  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Tcl_Preserve'ing VarTrace structures to avoid
+	memory corruption. Patch for [Bug 484334] provided by Don Porter
+
+2001-11-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

+	{knownbug} after discussion with Don Porter and Kevin Kenny.
+
+2001-11-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+	* generic/tclBinary.c (BINARY_SCAN_MAX_CACHE, Tcl_BinaryObjCmd,
+	(ScanNumber): Added caching scheme to reduce number of object
+	allocations when doing scans of large repetitive binary strings. See
+	comments in file for reasoning behind implementation. Suggested by
+	Miguel Sofer in [Patch 429916], but independently implemented.
+
+2001-11-28  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

+	Win95/98.
+
+2001-11-27  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: Removed the Tk reference for the 'winhelp' target.
+	Converge at install will need to be the solution for Tk and all other
+	extensions.
+
+2001-11-27  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-24.2): Made test less sensitive to OS
+	preemption, but perfection isn't practical. [Bug 463189, reported by
+	Don Porter]
+
+	* tests/switch.test (switch-9.*): Added tests to exercise more of the
+	argument checking.  (switch-7.2,switch-7.3): Test changed behaviour
+	slightly.
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Reworked argument parsing to
+	be stricter about what it accepts. This should make uses of the

+	Porter]
+
+2001-11-26  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: 'make genstubs' after changes in
+	2001-11-23 commit from Daniel Steffen.
+
+2001-11-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Add comments to better describe TCL_EXE and when
+	it should be available.
+	* win/Makefile.in: Add TCL_EXE variable to be used by rules like `make
+	genstubs`. Don't set TCL_LIBRARY before running `make genstubs` since
+	we will be running with a tclsh from the PATH not the one we build.
+
+2001-11-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add comctl32.lib to wish link libs.
+	This change was originally added to Tk on 2001-11-09 but was not
+	committed to Tcl.
+
+2001-11-23  Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* unix/install-sh:
+	* unix/mkLinks:
+	* unix/mkLinks.tcl:
+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c:

+	and support for case-insensitive filesystems in mkLinks. [Patch 435258]
+
+2001-11-23  Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	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/tclMacOSA.exp:
+	* mac/tclMacMSLPrefix.h: removed files
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: removed reference to .exp files
+
+	* mac/MW_TclBuildLibHeader.h:
+	* mac/MW_TclBuildLibHeader.pch:
+	* mac/MW_TclHeaderCommon.h:
+	* mac/MW_TclStaticHeader.h:
+	* mac/MW_TclStaticHeader.pch: new precompiled header files
+
+	* 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/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* 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

+
+	* 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.

+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: moving all code relative to bytecodes from
+	tclBasic.c to tclExecute.c - the functions RecordTracebackInfo and
+	Tcl_ExprObj went to tclExecute.c, and new interface function was
+	defined (TclCompEvalObj).
+	The final objective of this sequence of moves is to provide a clean,
+	clear-cut interface between Tcl's core and the compiler/engine
+	subsystem.

+2001-11-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: factoring out of common code in tclBasic.c
+	(new function TclInterpReady defined: it resets the interp's result,
+	then checks that it hasn't been deleted and that the nesting level is
+	acceptable). Passed the responsibility of calling it to the *callers*
+	of TclEvalObjvInternal.
+
+2001-11-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c

+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): update of patch from
+	2001-11-16 that uses the old Tcl encoding check mechanism as a
+	fallback to the original. Also added a TCL_DEFAULT_ENCODING #define
+	(defaults to iso8859-1). Tcl will first try setlocale and nl_langinfo,
+	and if that fails, guess based on certain LANG|LC_* env vars. [Patch
+	418645]

+	* doc/file.n:
+	* tests/winFCmd.test: improved speed of file normalization for

+	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

+
+	* 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.

+	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.

+	really a poorly-documented standards-defined OS feature.
+
+	* tests/util.test (util-8.1): Test derived from code to detect the

+
+	* 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]

+	head was last thursday (2001-09-06), but the call was actually added
+	to 'TclpObjChdir', i.e. the implementation of [cd]. Corrected this

+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c:
+	* doc/FileSystem.3:
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed Tcl_FSCopyFile fallback to channel
+	copying, since the channels will not have access to interpreters and
+	the channel copying currently requires an interp. Code which required
+	cross-platform copies always has interpreters, so that solves the
+	problem. Fixes bug in TclKit.
+
+2001-09-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tcl.m4: Added -link50compat option so a VC6 linker makes a VC5
+	(pre sp3) compatible import library. [Bug 219257]
+
+2001-09-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpThreadExit): Cast status argument to
+	_endthreadex to unsigned instead of DWORD to match the Win32 function
+	prototype.
+
+2001-09-06  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@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

+
+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

+
+2001-09-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+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>

+
+	* 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.

+
+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

+
+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>

+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>.

+
+	* 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/tcltest.test: added unixExecs constraint to files that used

+2001-08-21  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.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

+
+2001-08-14  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+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

+
+2001-08-06  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2001-07-18  Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2001-07-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpReadlink): Add Cygwin specific definition for

+	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

+
+2001-07-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc): constrained the mutex lock to

+	#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]

+	* 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

+
+2001-07-06  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

+	* 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.

+
+	* 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:

+
+2001-07-03  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-2.5): Adjust test so that it passes when the

+
+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

+
+2001-07-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.8):  Corrected test for all absolute

+
+	* 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

+
+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>
+

+
+2001-06-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/configure.in: Set CFLAGS to "" if the user did not set CFLAGS

+	by default.
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Ditto.
+
+2001-06-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+

+	compiler in use.
+
+2001-06-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Link to the imm32 library when

+
+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/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
+	CFLAGS or LDFLAGS at configure time.

+	* win/configure.in: Don't set CFLAGS or LDFLAGS, instead subst

+
+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
+	made other tests fail unnecessarily!
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyInit,TclpOpenFileChannel,
+	(Tcl_MakeFileChannel,TclpGetDefaultStdChannel): Alterations so that
+	the standard channels - stdin, stdout and stderr - have the correct
+	type and fconfigure options. This required making the initialisation
+	of serial lines a little more sophisticated to make the console behave
+	correctly in interactive mode... [Bug 219137 and duplicates]

+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* mac/tclMacAppInit.c (main):
+	* mac/tclMacBOAAppInit.c (main):
+	* mac/tclMacPanic.c: Modified special Mac implementations of

+
+	Note: This structure is shared by all channels in a stack of

+
+2001-03-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

+2001-03-27  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@gimlet.activestate.com>

+
+2001-03-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+

+
+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/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>

+	Sorry.
+
+2001-02-23  msofer  <msofer@ant.utdt>
+

+	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]

+	negative return codes up the call stack. [Bug 647307]
+	* tests/proc.test (proc-6.1): Test for Bug 647307
+
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c (TclParseInteger):  Return 1 for the string

+
+2002-12-09  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpMasterUnlock):
+	* generic/tclThread.c (TclFinalizeThreadData): TclpMasterUnlock must
+	exist and be called unconditional of TCL_THREADS. [Bug 651139]
+
+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.
+
+2002-12-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: regen
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: regen
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: added TclWinResetInterface
+
+	* 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
+	cleanup all encodings by using Tcl_FirstHashEntry in the while loop.
+
+	* 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.
+

+
+	* 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/get.test:
+	* generic/string.test:
+	* generic/tclObj.c (SetIntFromAny, SetWideIntFromAny):
+	* generic/tclGet.c (TclGetLong, Tcl_GetInt): simplify sign handling
+	before calling strtoul(l). [Bug 634856]
+
+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

+	* 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

+2002-11-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes: Note TclInExit TclInThreadExit changes.

+	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>
+

+
+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>
+

+
+2002-10-26  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: xcopy on NT 4.0 doesn't support the /Y switch

+
+2002-10-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Removed definitions of obsolete HistoryEvent and

+
+2002-10-22  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/StringObj.3, doc/Object.3: Documented that Tcl_Obj's standard

+
+	* doc/binary.n: Doc improvements [Patch 616480]
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test, tests/winFCmd.test:
+	* tools/eolFix.tcl, tools/genStubs.tcl: [file exist] -> [file exists]
+	Thanks to David Welton.
+
+2002-10-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n: fixed typo [Bug 618018]. Thanks to "JJM".
+
+2002-10-03  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl:
+	* tests/http.test, tests/httpd, tests/httpold.test:
+	* tests/env.test, tests/binary.test, tests/autoMkindex.test:
+	* library/init.tcl, library/http/http.tcl: [info exist] should really
+	be [info exists]. [Bug 602566]
+
+	* doc/lsearch.n: Better specification of what happens when -sorted is
+	mixed with other options. [Bug 617816]
+
+2002-10-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclCreateProc): mask out VAR_UNDEFINED for
+	precompiled locals to support 8.3 precompiled code.
+	(Tcl_ProcObjCmd): correct 2002-09-26 fix to look for tclProcBodyType.
+
+2002-10-01  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/socket.n: Mentioned that ports may be specified as serivce names
+	as well as integers. [Bug 616843]
+
+2002-09-30  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): correct the checking
+	for bad re's that didn't terminate the re string. Resultant compiles
+	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.
+
+2002-09-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* README:		Bumped to version 8.4.1 to avoid confusion of

+
+	* unix/configure: regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4: improve AIX-4/5 64bit compilation support.
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_ProcObjCmd): correct overeager optimization
+	of noop proc to handle the precompiled case. (sofer)
+
+	* 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
+	not generate .Z anymore (just .gz and .zip).
+
+2002-09-18  Mumit Khan <khan@nanotech.wisc.edu>
+
+	Added basic Cygwin support.
+
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_TCLCONFIG): Support one-tree build.
+	(SC_PATH_TKCONFIG): Likewise.
+	(SC_PROG_TCLSH): Likewise.
+	(SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Assume real Cygwin port and remove -mno-cygwin
+	flags. Add -mwin32 to extra_cflags and extra_ldflags. Remove ``-e
+	_WinMain@16'' from LDFLAGS_WINDOW.
+	* win/configure.in: Allow Cygwin build.
+	(SEH test): Define to be 1 instead of empty value.
+	(EXCEPTION_DISPOSITION): Add test.
+	* win/configure: Regenerate.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Don't explicitly define __WIN32__ for Cygwin, let the
+	user decide whether to use Windows or POSIX personality.
+	(TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE, TCL_LL_MODIFIER, struct Tcl_StatBuf): Define for
+	Cygwin.
+	* generic/tclEnv.c (Tcl_CygwinPutenv): putenv replacement for Cygwin.

+	(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>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_TCL_64BIT_FLAGS): Yet more robust 64-bit value
+	detection to close [Bug 613117] on more systems.
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclPrintSource): More CONSTifying.
+	* 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

+
+2002-09-15  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add PEEK_XCLOSEIM define under
+	Linux. This is used by Tk to double check that an X input context is
+	cleaned up before it is closed.
+
+2002-09-12  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/coffbase.txt: Added BLT to the virtual base address listings
+	table should BLT's build tools decide to use it.
+
+2002-09-12  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* 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
+	set it to default value ${LIB_RUNTIME_DIR}
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): use DYLIB_INSTALL_DIR instead of
+	LIB_RUNTIME_DIR in the -install_name argument to ld.
+	* unix/configure: regen.
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
+	* macosx/Makefile: added support for building Tcl as an embedded

+	@executable_path/../Frameworks via the new DYLIB_INSTALL_DIR
+	unix/Makefile variable.
+

+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand,CallCommandTraces):

+	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

+2002-09-02  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c (TclpObjLink): removed unnecessary/unfreed extra

+	flags field of TcpState ptr to 0.
+
+	* unix/configure:

+	* unix/tcl.spec:
+	* win/README.binary:

+	* 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:

+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

+	* 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.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:

+	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

+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.

+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>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c: fix for [Tk Bug 219218] "error handling with
+	bgerror in Tk"
+
+2002-07-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: restoring full TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG
+	functionality.
+
+2002-07-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test: relaxed unixInit-3.1 to accept iso8859-15 as a
+	valid C encoding. [Bug 575336]
+
+2002-07-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: restoring the tcl_traceCompile functionality
+	while I repair tcl_traceExec. The core now compiles and runs also
+	under TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG, but execution in the bytecode engine can
+	still not be traced.
+
+2002-07-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/configure.in: corrected fix for [Bug 529801]: ranlib only
+	needed for static builds on Mac OS X.
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c: fixed small bugs introduced by Vince,
+	implemented library unloading correctly (needs OS X 10.2).
+
+2002-07-23  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3: (Updates from Larry Virden)
+	* doc/open.n:

+
+2002-07-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2002-07-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

+2002-07-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_X): Set XINCLUDES to "" instead of "# no

+	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

+
+2002-07-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

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

+
+2002-07-19  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	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:

+
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c:

+	* tests/winFCmd.test:
+	* tests/winPipe.test:
+	* tests/fCmd.test:
+	* tessts/winFile.test: added 'pcOnly' constraint to some tests to make

+
+2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2002-07-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2002-07-17  D. Richard Hipp    <drh@hwaci.com>
+
+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: fix a comment that was causing problems

+
+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

+
+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 **

+2002-07-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	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

+
+2002-07-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+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

+
+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

+
+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
+	constraint so they don't run on older Windows OS. [Bug 578158]
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclTest.c:
+	* mac/tclMacChan.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c:
+	* win/tclWinChan.c:
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: cleaned up internal handling of
+	Tcl_FSOpenFileChannel to remove duplicate code, and make writing
+	external vfs's clearer and easier. No functionality change. Also
+	clarify that objects with refCount zero should not be passed in to the
+	Tcl_FS API, and prevent segfaults from occuring on such user errors.
+	[Bug 578617]
+
+2002-07-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test:  Constrained tests of [load] package indexing
+	to those platforms where the testing shared libraries have been built.
+	[Bug 578166]
+
+2002-07-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes: added recent changes
+
+2002-07-05  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): Convert the format string to UTF8
+	before calling TclpStrftime, so that non-ASCII characters don't get
+	mangled when the result string is being converted back.
+	* tests/clock.test: Added a test for that.
+
+2002-07-05  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in (ro-test,ddd,GDB,DDD): Created new targets to
+	allow running the test suite with a read-only current directory,
+	running under ddd instead of gdb, and factored out some executable
+	names for broken sites (like mine) where gdb and ddd are installed
+	with non-standard names...
+
+	* tests/httpold.test: Altered test names to httpold-* to avoid clashes
+	with http.test, and stopped tests from failing when the current
+	directory is not writable...
+
+	* tests/event.test:		Stop these tests from failing when the
+	* tests/ioUtil.test:		current directory is not writable...

+	*** 8.4b1 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+2002-07-04  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-1.4):
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: More fixing of writable-current-dir assumption.
+	[Bug 575824]
+
+2002-07-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/basic.test: Same issue as below; fixed [Bug 575817]
+
+2002-07-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/socket.test:
+	* tests/winPipe.test:
+	* tests/pid.test: Fixed [Bug 575848]. See below for a description the
+	general problem.
+
+	* All the bugs below are instances of the same problem: The testsuite
+	assumes [pwd] = [temporaryDirectory] and writable.
+
+	* tests/iogt.test: Fixed [Bug 575860].
+	* tests/io.test:   Fixed [Bug 575862].
+	* tests/exec.test:
+	* tests/ioCmd.test: Fixed [Bug 575836].
+
+2002-07-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/pkg1/direct1.tcl: removed
+	* tests/pkg1/pkgIndex.tcl: removed
+	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test:  Imported auxilliary files from tests/pkg1
+	into the test file pkgMkIndex.test itself. Formatting fixes.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: removed tests/pkg/* from `make dist`
+
+	* tests/pkg/circ1.tcl: removed

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

+
+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
+	treating an empty list as a list of the single pattern "*". Changed
+	the default value to [list *] so default operation remains the same.
+
+	* tests/pkg/samename.tcl: restored. needed by pkgMkIndex.test.
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: restored writeability testing of
+	-tmpdir, augmented by a special exception for the deafault value.
+
+2002-07-01  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/concat.n: Documented the *real* behaviour of [concat]!
+
+2002-06-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n: more work in progress updating tcltest docs.
+
+	* tests/README:		Updated the instructions on running and
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test:	adding to the test suite. Also updated
+	* tests/encoding.test:	several tests, mostly to correctly create
+	* tests/fCmd.test:	and destroy any temporary files in the
+	* tests/info.test:	[temporaryDirectory] of tcltest.
+	* tests/interp.test:
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Stopped checking for writeability of
+	-tmpdir value because no default directory can be guaranteed to be
+	writeable.
+
+	* tests/autoMkindex.tcl: removed.
+	* tests/pkg/samename.tcl: removed.
+	* tests/pkg/magicchar.tcl: removed.
+	* tests/pkg/magicchar2.tcl: removed.
+	* tests/autoMkindex.test: Updated auto_mkIndex tests to use [makeFile]
+	and [removeFile] so tests are done in [temporaryDirecotry] where write
+	access is guaranteed.
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Fixed [makeFile] and [viewFile] to
+	* tests/cmdAH.test:		accurately reflect a file's contents.
+	* tests/event.test:		Updated tests that depended on buggy
+	* tests/http.test:		behavior. Also added warning messages
+	* tests/io.test:		to "-debug 1" operations to debug test
+	* tests/iogt.test:		calls to (make|remove)(File|Directory)
+
+	* unix/mkLinks: `make mklinks` on 6-27 commits.
+
+2002-06-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: modified the macro TclEmitPush to not call its

+	reported by Peter Spjuth.
+
+2002-06-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* docs/tcltest.n:	Doc revisions in progress.

+	575150]
+
+2002-06-28  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:	Renamed the Tcl_Platform* #defines to TclOS*

+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c:

+
+2002-06-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	* doc/registry.n:

+	environment variablle configures tcltest at package load time.
+
+2002-06-26  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to handling of empty paths "" which are not
+	claimed by any filesystem [Bug 573758]. Ensure good error messages
+	are given in all cases.
+	* tests/cmdAH.test:
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: fix to bug reported as part of [Patch 566669].
+	Thanks to Taguchi, Takeshi for the report.
+
+2002-06-26  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+

+
+2002-06-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Corrected suppression of -verbose skip
+	* tests/tcltest.test:		and start by [test -output]. Also
+	corrected test suite errors exposed by corrected code. [Bug 564656]
+
+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>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Implementation of TIP 101. Adds abd

+
+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  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c: LogSyntaxError() should reset the
+	interpreter result [Bug 550142 "Tcl_ExprObj -> abort"]
+
+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

+	(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.

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

+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* doc/FileSystem.3:
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: fixed up further so both compiles and actually
+	works with VC++ 5 or 6.
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: cleaned up code and vfs tests and added tests for
+	the internal changes of 2002-06-12, to see whether WinTcl on NTFS can
+	coexist peacefully with links in the filesystem. Added new test
+	command 'testfilelink' to enable the newer code to be tested.
+	* tests/fCmd.test: (made certain tests of 'testfilelink' not run on
+	unix).
+
+2002-06-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteTrace): fixed [Bug 568123] (thanks to Hemang
+	Lavana)
+
+2002-06-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: corrected the symbolic link handling code to allow
+	it to compile. Added real definition of REPARSE_DATA_BUFFER (found in
+	winnt.h). Most of the added definitions appear to have correct,
+	cross-Win-version equivalents in winnt.h and should be removed, but
+	just making things "work" for now.
+
+2002-06-12  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: made code for Tcl_FSNewNativePath agree with man
+	pages.
+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: clarified the circumstances under which certain
+	functions are called in the presence of symlinks.
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:  Fix for Windows to allow 'file lstat', 'file
+	type', 'glob -type l', 'file copy', 'file delete', 'file normalize',
+	and all VFS code to work correctly in the presence of symlinks
+	(previously Tcl's behaviour was not very well defined). This also
+	fixes possible serious problems in all versions of WinTcl where 'file
+	delete' on a NTFS symlink could delete the original, not the symlink.
+	Note: symlinks cannot yet be created in pure Tcl.
+
+2002-06-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: reverted the new compilation functions; replaced
+	by a more general approach described below.
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: made *all* compiled variable access attempts
+	create an indexed variable - even get or incr without previous set.
+	This allows indexed access to local variables that are created and set
+	at runtime, for example by [global], [upvar], [variable], [regexp],
+	[regsub].
+
+2002-06-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/global.n:
+	* doc/info.n:
+	* test/info.test:
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: fix for [Bug 567386], [info locals] was
+	reporting some linked variables.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: added compile functions for [global], [variable]
+	and [upvar]. They just declare the new local variables, the commands
+	themselves are not compiled-in. This gives a notably faster read
+	access to these linked variables.
+
+2002-06-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: optimised algorithm for exception range
+	lookup; part of [Patch 453709].
+
+2002-06-10  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: fixed [Bug 566669]
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: improved and sped up handling of native paths
+	(duplication and conversion to normalized paths), particularly on
+	Windows.
+	* modified part of above commit, due to problems on Linux. Will
+	re-examine bug report and evaluate more closely.
+
+2002-06-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test:  More corrections to test suite so that tests of
+	failing [test]s don't show up themselves as failing tests.
+
+2002-06-07  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Tidied up headers in relation to float.h to
+	cut the cruft and ensure DBL_MAX is defined since doubles seem to be
+	the same size everywhere; if the assumption isn't true, the variant
+	platforms had better have run configure...
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h (EOVERFLOW): Added code to define it if it
+	wasn't previously defined. Also some other general tidying and adding
+	of comments. [Bugs 563122, 564595]
+	* compat/tclErrno.h: Added definition for EOVERFLOW copied from
+	Solaris headers; I've been unable to find any uses of EFTYPE, which
+	was the error code previously occupying the slot, in Tcl, or any
+	definition of it in the Solaris headers.
+
+2002-06-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Remove hard coded CFLAGS=-g and add

+
+2002-06-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test:  Corrections to test suite so that tests of

+	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

+
+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

+
+2002-06-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/Tcl_Main.3: Documented $tcl_rcFileName and added more

+
+2002-06-05  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	* mac/tclMacPort.h:
+	* mac/tclMacChan.c: fixed TIP#91 bustage.
+	* mac/tclMacResource.c (Tcl_MacConvertTextResource): added utf

+	* 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

+	namespace, and namespace errors in init.test.
+
+2002-06-04  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

+	* 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]
+

+
+	* 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>
+

+	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:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (new):
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
+	* win/Makefile.in:
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: added new threaded allocator contributed by AOL
+	that significantly reduces lock contention when multiple threads are
+	in use. Only Windows and Unix implementations are ready, and the
+	Windows one may need work. It is only used by default on Unix for now,
+	and requires that USE_THREAD_ALLOC be defined (--enable-threads on
+	Unix will define this).
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSRegister, Tcl_FSUnregister): corrected
+	calling of Tcl_ConditionWait to ensure that there would be a condition
+	to wait upon.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FileObjCmd): added cast in FILE_SIZE.
+
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoDeleteFile): check return of setattr API calls
+	in file deletion for correct Win32 API handling.
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: correct dependencies for shell, gdb, runtest
+	targets.
+
+	* doc/clock.n:
+	* compat/strftime.c (_fmt): change strftime to correctly handle
+	localized %c, %x and %X on Windows. Added some notes about how the
+	other values could be further localized.
+
+2002-04-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main):  Free the memory allocated for the
+	startup script path. [Bug 543549]
+
+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:  [mcmax] wasn't using the caller's
+	namespace when determining the max translated length. Also made
+	revisions for better use of namespace variables and more efficient
+	[uplevel]s.
+
+	* doc/msgcat.n:
+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:
+	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:  Added [mcload] to the export list of
+	msgcat; bumped to 1.2.3. [Bug 544727]
+
+2002-04-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* mac/tclMacFCmd.c:
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c:
+	* mac/tclMacUtil.c: Modified TclpObjNormalizePath to be alias file
+	aware, and replaced various calls to FSpLocationFrom*Path by calls to
+	new alias file aware versions FSpLLocationFrom*Path. The alias file
+	aware routines don't resolve the last component of a path if it is an
+	alias. This allows [file copy/delete] etc. to act correctly on alias
+	files. (c.f. discussion in [Bug 511666])
+
+2002-04-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/lindex.test (lindex-3.7):
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): Stopped indexes from hitting
+	wide ints. [Bug 526717]
+
+2002-04-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
+	* tests/info.test: [Bug 545325] info level didn't report namespace
+	eval, bug report by Richard Suchenwirth.
+
+2002-04-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/subst.n:  Clarified documentation on handling unusual return
+	codes during substitution, and on variable substitutions implied by
+	command substitution, and vice versa. [Bug 536838]
+
+2002-04-18  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoBodyCmd):
+	* tests/info.test (info-2.6): Proc bodies without string reps would
+	report as empty. [Bug 545644]
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj): More clarification for comment on
+	behaviour when substitutions are not well-formed, prompted by [Bug
+	536831]; alas, removing the ill-defined behaviour is a lot of work.
+
+2002-04-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* tests/expr-old.test: fix for [Bug 542588] (Phil Ehrens), where "too
+	large integers" were reported as "floating-point value" in [expr]
+	error messages.
+
+2002-04-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (EscapeFromUtfProc):
+	* generic/tclIO.c (WriteChars, Tcl_Close): corrected the handling of
+	outputting end escapes for escape-based encodings.
+	[Bug 526524] (yamamoto)
+
+2002-04-17  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:  Removed [saveState] and [restoreState] from tcltest
+	2 documentation, effectively deprecating them. [Bug 495660]
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Made separate export for commands kept
+	only for tcltest 1 compatibility.
+
+	* tests/iogt.test: Revised to run tests in a namespace, rather than
+	use the useless and buggy [saveState] and [restoreState] commands of
+	tcltest. Updated to use tcltest 2 as well. [Patch 544911]
+
+2002-04-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/io.test: Revised to run tests in a namespace, rather than use
+	the useless and buggy [saveState] and [restoreState] commands of
+	tcltest. Updated to use tcltest 2 as well. [Patch 544546]
+
+2002-04-15  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c:
+	* tests/proc-old.test: Improved stack trace for TCL_BREAK and
+	TCL_CONTINUE returns from procs. Patch by Don Porter [Bug 536955].
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* tests/compile.test: made bytecodes check for a catch before
+	returning; the compiled [return] is otherwise non-catchable. [Bug
+	542142] reported by Andreas Kupries.
+
+2002-04-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/socket.test:  Increased timeout values so that tests have
+	time to successfully complete even on slow/busy machines. [Bug 523470]
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
+	* tests/tcltest.test:  Revised [tcltest::test] to return errors when
+	called with invalid syntax and to accept exactly two arguments as
+	documented. Improved error messages. [Bug 497446, Patch 513983]
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: Incompatible with previous tcltest
+	2.* releases, found only in alpha releases of Tcl 8.4.
+
+2002-04-11  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): remove remaining
+	unserviced events on finalization.
+
+	* win/tcl.m4: Enabled COFF as well as CV style debug info with
+	--enable-symbols to allow Dr. Watson users to see function info. More
+	info on debugging levels can be obtained at:
+	http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnvc60/html/gendepdebug.asp
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test: fixed iocmd-8.15 to have mac and unixPc variants.
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseVar): conditionally incr obj refcount
+	to prevent possible mem leak.
+
+2002-04-08  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: no <sys/types.h> on mac.
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c: minor fixes to Vince's changes from 03-24.
+	* mac/tclMacOSA.c:
+	* mac/tclMacResource.c: added missing Tcl_UtfToExternalDString
+	conversions of resource file names.
+	* mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): fixed bug introduced by Andreas
+	on 02-25; changed strcmp's to strncmp's so that option comparison
+	behaves like on other platforms.
+	* mac/tcltkMacBuildSupport.sea.hqx (CW Pro6 changes): added support to
+	allow Tk to hookup C library stderr/stdout to TkConsole.
+	* tests/basic.test:
+	* tests/cmdAH.test:
+	* tests/encoding.test:
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:
+	* tests/ioCmd.test: fixed tests failing on mac: check for existence of
+	[exec], changed some result strings.
+
+2002-04-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (Realpath): added a little extra code to
+	initialize a realpath arg when compiling in PURIFY mode in order to
+	prevent spurious purify warnings. We should really create our own
+	realpath implementation, but this will at least quiet purify for now.
+
+2002-04-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj):
+	* tests/subst.test:  Corrected [subst] so that return codes TCL_BREAK
+	and TCL_CONTINUE returned by variable substitution have the same
+	effect as when those codes are returned by command substitution. [Bug
+	536879]
+
+2002-04-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: added getMatchingFiles back (alias to
+	GetMatchingFiles), which was a public function in tcltest 1.0.
+
+2002-04-01  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEnv.c:
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: invalidate filesystem cache when the user
+	changes env(HOME). Fixes [Bug 535621]. Also cleaned up some of the
+	documentation.
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: added test for bug just fixed.
+
+2002-04-01  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_GetTime): made the checks of clock frequency
+	more permissive to cope with the fact that Win98SE is observed to
+	return 1.19318 in place of 1.193182 for the performance counter
+	frequency.
+
+2002-03-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd, TraceVarProc)
+	(TraceCommandProc, TclTraceCommandObjCmd):  corrected potential
+	double-free of traces on variables by flagging in Trace*Proc that it
+	will free the var in case the eval wants to delete the var trace as
+	well. [Bug 536937] Also converted Tcl_UntraceVar -> Tcl_UntraceVar2
+	and Tcl_Eval to Tcl_EvalEx in Trace*Proc for slight efficiency
+	improvement.
+
+2002-03-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/AllowExc.3:
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalObjv,Tcl_EvalEx,Tcl_EvalObjEx):
+	* generic/tclCompile.h (TclCompEvalObj):
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj,TclExecuteByteCode):
+	* tests/basic.test: Corrected problems with Tcl_AllowExceptions having
+	influence over the wrong scope of Tcl_*Eval* calls. Patch from Miguel
+	Sofer. Report from Jean-Claude Wippler. [Bug 219181]
+
+2002-03-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Refactored CallTraces to collect repeated handling
+	of its returned value into CallTraces itself.
+
+2002-03-28  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tools/feather.bmp:
+	* tools/man2help.tcl:
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl:
+	* win/makefile.vc: More winhelp target fixups. Added a feather bitmap
+	to the non-scrollable area and changed the color to be yellow from a
+	plain white. The colors can be whatever we want them to be, but
+	thought I would start with something bold. [Bug 527941]
+
+	* doc/SetVar.3:
+	* doc/TraceVar.3:
+	* doc/UpVar.3:  .AP macro syntax repair.
+
+2002-03-27  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tools/man2help.tcl:
+	* win/makefile.vc:  winhelp target now copies all needed files from
+	tools/ to a workarea under $(OUT_DIR) and builds it from there. No
+	build cruft is left in tools/ anymore. All paths used in man2help.tcl
+	are now relative to where the script is. [Bug 527941]
+
+2002-03-27  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/.cvsignore:
+	* win/buildall.vc.bat:
+	* win/coffbase.txt:
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/nmakehlp.c (new):
+	* win/rules.vc:  First draft fix for [Bug 527941]. More changes need
+	to done to the makehelp target to get to stop leaving build files in
+	the tools/ directory. This does not address the syntax errors in the
+	man files. Having the contents of tcl.hpj(.in) inside makefile.vc
+	allows for version numbers to be replaced with macros.
+
+	The new nmakehlp.c is built by rules.vc in preprocessing and removes
+	the need to use tricky shell syntax that wasn't compatible on Win9x
+	systems. Clean targets made Win9x complient. This is a first draft
+	repair for [Bug 533862].
+
+2002-03-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalEx): passing the correct commandSize to
+	TclEvalObjvInternal. [Bug 219362], fix by David Knoll.
+
+2002-03-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalEx):

+
+2002-03-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n ([mainThread]):
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
+	* tests/tcltest.test:  Major code cleanup to deal with whitespace,
+	coding conventions, and namespace issues, with several minor bugs
+	fixed in the process.
+
+	* tests/main.test: Added missing [after cancel]s.
+
+2002-03-25  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/main.test: Removed workarounds for Bug 495977.
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Keep the value of $::auto_path
+	unchanged, so that the tcltest package can test code that depends on
+	auto-loading. If a testing application needs $::auto_path pruned, it
+	should do that itself. [Bug 495726]
+	Improve the processing of the -constraints option to [test] so that
+	constraint lists can have arbitrary whitespace, and non-lists don't
+	blow things up. [Bug 495977]
+	Corrected faulty variable initialization. [Bug 534845]
+
+2002-03-25  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/CrtTrace.3: small doc correction
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteTrace): Allow NULL callback on trace
+	deletions. [Bug 534728] (Hemang Lavana)
+
+2002-03-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalObjv): replaced obscure, incorrect code
+	as described in [Bug 533907] (Don Porter).
+
+2002-03-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Use [interpreter] to set/query the
+	executable currently running the tcltest package. [Bug 454050]
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Allow non-proc commands to be used as
+	the customization hooks. [Bug 495662]

+	'Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory' which now might match a single file/directory
+	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
+	with the 'tclvfs' extension.

+	Removed the static RecordTracebackInfo(), as its functionality is
+	easily replicated by Tcl_LogCommandInfo. Bug and redundancy noted by

+
+	* tests/encoding.test: added encoding-23.* tests
+	* generic/tclIO.c (FilterInputBytes): reset the TCL_ENCODING_START
+	flags in the ChannelState when using 'gets'. [Bug 523988]
+	Also reduced the value of ENCODING_LINESIZE from 30 to 20 as this
+	seems to improve the performance of 'gets' according to tclbench.
+
+2002-02-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceCommandProc): ensure that TraceCommandInfo

+
+2002-02-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2002-02-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/GetIndex.3:
+	* generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):  Revised the
+	prototype of the Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct to take its struct table as
+	a (CONST VOID *) argument, better describing what it is, maintaining

+	27. Thanks to Joe English for an elegant solution. [Bug 520304]
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
+
+	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main,StdinProc):  Corrected some reference

+
+2002-02-27  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalTokensStandard): corrected mem leak in
+	error case.
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c (TestStatProc[123]): correct harmless UMRs.
+
+	* generic/tclLink.c (Tcl_LinkVar): correct mem leak in error case.
+
+2002-02-27  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/socket.test (2.7): Accepted and applied patch for [Bug 523470]
+	provided by Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net> to avoid timing
+	problems in that test.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel): Added code to regonize
+	"/dev/tty" (by name) and to not handle it as tty / serial line. This
+	is the controlling terminal and is special. Setting it into raw mode
+	as is done for other tty's is a bad idea. This is a hackish fix for
+	expect [Bug 520624]. The fix has limitation: Tcl_MakeFileChannel
+	handles tty's specially too, but is unable to recognize /dev/tty as it
+	only gets a file descriptor, and no name for it.
+
+2002-02-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (StoreStatData): corrected mem leak.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): prevent obj leak in
+	remedial regsub case.
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_TranslateFileName): decr refcount for
+	error case to prevent mem leak.
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): removed extra obj allocation.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixSock.c (Tcl_GetHostName): added an extra
+	gethostbyname check to guard against failure with truncated
+	names returned by uname.
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_SERIAL_PORT): added sys/modem.h check and defined
+	_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED for HP-11 to get updated header decls.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: added Unix implementation of TIP #35, serial
+	port support. [Patch 438509] (schroedter)
+
+2002-02-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmpCmds.c: (bugfix to the bugfix, hopefully the last)
+	Bugfix to the new [for] compiling code: was setting a exceptArray
+	parameter using another param which wasn't yet initialised, thus
+	filling it with noise.
+
+2002-02-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Changed to recognize the option

+	to accurately describe when and how they are used. [Bug 497459] (dgp)
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (AllocArrayEntry, AllocStringEntry):
+	Before invoking ckalloc when creating a Tcl_HashEntry,
+	check that the amount of memory being allocated is
+	at least as large as sizeof(Tcl_HashEntry). The previous

+	or two bytes short. [Bug 521950] (dejong)
+
+2002-02-25  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalEx): avoiding a buffer overrun
+	reported by Joe English, and restoring tcl7.6 behaviour for
+	[subst]: badly terminated nested scripts will raise an error
+	and not be evaluated. [Bug 495207]
+
+2002-02-25  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: corrected strtoll prototype mismatch on Tru64.
+	* compat/strtod.c (strtod): simplified #includes
+	* compat/strtol.c (strtol): gather result in a long before returning
+	as a long: necessary on platforms where sizeof(int) != sizeof(long).
+
+2002-02-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c: updated to use Mac OS X 10.1 dyld APIs that

+
+2002-02-25  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds: fixing a bug in patch dated 2002-02-22, in the
+	code for [for] and [while]. Under certain conditions, for long bodies,
+	the exception range parameters were badly computed. Tests forthcoming:
+	I still can't reproduce the conditions in the testsuite (!), although
+	the bug (with assorted segfault or panic!)  can be triggered from the
+	console or with the new parse.bench in tclbench.
+
+2002-02-25  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* compat/strtoul.c, compat/strtol.c, compat/strtod.c: Added UCHAR,
+	CONST and #includes to clean up GCC output.
+
+2002-02-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* compat/strtoull.c (strtoull):
+	* compat/strtoll.c (strtoll):
+	* compat/strtoul.c (strtoul): Fixed failure to handle leading
+	sign symbols '+' and '-' and '0X' and raise overflow errors.
+	[Bug 440916]  Also corrects prototype and errno problems.
+
+2002-02-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* configure: Regen.

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