+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.

-	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpThreadCreate): We need to initialize the
-	thread id variable to 0 as on 64 bit windows this is a pointer sized

+	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.

+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileBreakCmd, TclCompileContinueCmd):

+	* 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.

+
+	* generic/tclOOMethod.c (ProcedureMethodVarResolver): [Bug 3105999]:

+2010-11-05  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclMain.c: Thanks, Kevin, for the fix, but this how it was
+	supposed to be (TCL_ASCII_MAIN is only supposed to be defined on
+	WIN32).
+
+2010-11-05  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclMain.c: Added missing conditional on _WIN32 around code

+	use of INST_DICT_DONE now that's not needed, and make it clearer in

+
+2010-10-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclZlib.c (Tcl_ZlibStreamGet): [Bug 3081008]: Ensure that
+	when a bytearray gets its internals entangled with zlib for more than
+	a passing moment, that bytearray will never be shimmered away. This
+	increases the amount of copying but is simple to get right, which is a
+	reasonable trade-off.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendObjToObj): Added some special
+	cases so that most of the time when you build up a bytearray by
+	appending, it actually ends up being a bytearray rather than
+	shimmering back and forth to string.
+
+	* tests/http11.test (check_crc): Use a simpler way to express the
+	functionality of this procedure.
+
+	* generic/tclZlib.c: Purge code that wrote to the object returned by
+	Tcl_GetObjResult, as we don't want to do that anti-pattern no more.

+
+2010-10-15  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

+2010-10-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (EvalStatsCmd): change 'evalstats' to return

+

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

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

+
+2010-09-28  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	[dogeen-assembler-branch]
+
+	* tests/assemble.test: Added more "white box" tests.
+	* generic/tclAssembly.c: Added the error checking and reporting
+	for undefined labels. Revised code so that no pointers into the
+	bytecode sequence are held (because the sequence can move!),
+	that no Tcl_HashEntry pointers are held (because the hash table
+	doesn't guarantee their stability!) and to eliminate the BBHash
+	table, which is merely additional information indexed by jump
+	labels and can just as easily be held in the 'label' structure.
+	Renamed shared structures to CamelCase, and renamed 'label' to
+	JumpLabel because other types of labels may eventually be possible.

+	(a) [eval] and [expr] had incorrect stack balance computed if
+	the arg was not a simple word. (b) [concat] accepted a negative
+	operand count. (c) [invoke] accepted a zero or negative operand
+	count. (d) more misspelt error messages.
+	Also replaced a funky NRCallTEBC with the new call

+	* generic/tclAssembly.c:	Massive refactoring of the assembler
+	* generic/tclAssembly.h:	to use a Tcl-like syntax (and use

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

-	* generic/tclIORTrans.c (ReflectInput): Fixed a bug triggered by Pat
-	Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>. Reset the EOF flag after
-	draining the Tcl level into the result buffer, to make sure that the
-	result buffer will be drained as well by repeated calls to
-	ReflectInput should it contain more than one buffer-full of data.
-	Without that reset the higher I/O system will not call on ReflectInput
-	anymore due to the assumed EOF, thus losing the data which did not fit
-	in the buffer of the call which caused the eof and drain.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Add peephole optimization
+	of the fact that INST_DICT_FIRST and INST_DICT_NEXT always have a
+	conditional jump afterwards.
 
-2008-06-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

+
+	* generic/tclIORTrans.c (ForwardProc): [Bug 2964425]: When cleaning
+	the stables, it is sometimes necessary to do more than the minimum. In
+	this case, rationalizing the variables for a forwarded limit? method
+	required removing an extra Tcl_DecrRefCount too.
+
+	* generic/tclOO.h, generic/tclOOInt.h: [Patch 2961556]: Change TclOO
+	to use the same style of function typedefs as Tcl, as this is about
+	the last chance to get this right.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Source code that uses function typedefs from TclOO will need to update
+	variables and argument definitions so that pointers to the function
+	values are used instead. Binary compatibility is not affected.
+
+	* generic/*.c, generic/tclInt.h, unix/*.c, macosx/*.c: Applied results
+	of doing a Code Audit. Principal changes:
+	  * Use do { ... } while (0) in macros
+	  * Avoid shadowing one local variable with another
+	  * Use clearer 'foo.bar++;' instead of '++foo.bar;' where result not
+	    required (i.e., semantically equivalent); clarity is increased
+	    because it is bar that is incremented, not foo.
+	  * Follow Engineering Manual rules on spacing and declarations

+2010-03-04  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOO.c (ObjectRenamedTrace): [Bug 2962664]: Add special

+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (StringFirstCmd, StringLastCmd): [Bug 2960021]:
+	Only search for the needle in the haystack when the needle isn't
+	larger than the haystack. Prevents an odd crash from sometimes
+	happening when things get mixed up (a common programming error).
+
+	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main): [Bug 801429]: Factor out the holding
+	of the client-installed main loop function into thread-specific data.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Code that previously tried to set the main loop from another thread
+	will now fail. On the other hand, there is a fairly high probability
+	that such programs would have been failing before due to the lack of
+	any kind of inter-thread memory barriers guarding accesses to this
+	part of Tcl's state.

+	Many thanks to Jean-Claude Wippler for finding this.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Reduce ifdef-fery and
+	size of activation record. More variables shared across instructions

+
+	* doc/socket.n: [Bug 2957688]: Clarified that [socket -server] works
+	with a command prefix. Extended example to show this in action.
+
+2010-02-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclZlib.c (ZlibTransformInput): [Bug 2762041]: Added a hack
+	to work around the general problem, early EOF recognition based on the
+	base-channel, instead of the data we have ready for reading in the
+	transform. Long-term we need a proper general fix (likely tracking EOF
+	on each level of the channel stack), with attendant complexity.
+	Furthermore, Z_BUF_ERROR can be ignored, and must be when feeding the
+	zlib code with single characters.

+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey):	Restore these hash functions
+	* generic/tclLiteral.c (HashString):	to use the classic algorithm.
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclHashObjKey):	Community felt normal case
+	speed to be more important than resistance to malicious cases. For
+	now, hashes that need to deal with the malicious case can use a custom
+	hash table and install their own hash function, though that is not
+	functionality exposed to the script level.
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictUpdateCmd): Stack depth must be
+	correctly described when compiling a body to prevent crashes in some
+	debugging modes.
+
+2010-02-16  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Change order of various struct members,

+
+2010-02-16  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* unix/configure.in, generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_Stat): Updated so that

+2010-02-15  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOO.c (AllocObject, SquelchedNsFirst, ObjectRenamedTrace):
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_DeleteNamespace): [Bug 2950259]: Revised
+	the namespace deletion code to provide an additional internal callback
+	that gets triggered early enough in namespace deletion to allow TclOO
+	destructors to run sanely. Adjusted TclOO to take advantage of this,
+	so making tearing down an object by killing its namespace appear to
+	work seamlessly, which is needed for Itcl. (Note that this is not a
+	feature that will ever be backported to 8.5, and it remains not a
+	recommended way of deleting an object.)
+
+2010-02-13  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Divided the [switch]
+	compiler into three pieces (after the model of [try]): a parser, an
+	instruction-issuer for chained tests, and an instruction-issuer for
+	jump tables.
+
+	* generic/tclEnsemble.c: Split the ensemble engine out into its own
+	file rather than keeping it mashed together with the namespace code.
+
+2010-02-12  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* win/tcl.m4:		Use -pipe for gcc on win32
+	* win/configure:	(mingw/cygwin) (regenerated)

+
+2010-02-11  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/list.test: Add tests for explicit \0 in a string argument to
+	the list command.
+
+2010-02-11  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_OpenObjCmd): [Bug 2949740]: Make sure that
+	we do not try to put a NULL pipeline channel into binary mode.
+
+2010-02-11  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	[Bug 2826551, Patch 2948425]: Assorted regexp bugs related to -all,
+	-line and -start options and newlines.
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): If -offset is given, treat it
+	as the start of the line if the previous character was a newline. Fix
+	nasty edge case where a zero length match would not advance the index.
+	* tests/regexp.test: Add regression tests back ported from Jacl.
+	Checks for a number of issues related to -line and newline handling. A
+	few of tests were broken before the patch and continue to be broken,
+	marked as knownBug.
+
+2010-02-11  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOO.c (ObjectRenamedTrace): [Bug 2949397]: Prevent
+	destructors from running on the two core class objects when the whole
+	interpreter is being destroyed.
+
+2010-02-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileTryCmd, IssueTryInstructions)
+	(IssueTryFinallyInstructions): Added compiler for the [try] command.
+	It is split into three pieces that handle the parsing of the tokens,
+	the issuing of instructions for finally-free [try], and the issuing of
+	instructions for [try] with finally; there are enough differences
+	between the all cases that it was easier to split the code rather than
+	have a single function do the whole thing.
+
+2010-02-09  Alexandre Ferrieux  <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl: Remove dependency on 8.5+ idiom "in" in
+	expressions.
+
+2010-02-08  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclZlib.c (Tcl_ZlibDeflate, Tcl_ZlibInflate): [Bug 2947783]:
+	Make sure that the result is an unshared object before appending to it
+	so that nothing crashes if it is shared (use in Tcl code was not
+	affected by this, but use from C was an issue).
+
+2010-02-06  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey):	Replace Tcl's crusty old hash
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclHashObjKey):	function with the algorithm
+	due to Fowler, Noll and Vo. This is slightly faster (assuming the
+	presence of hardware multiply) and has somewhat better distribution
+	properties of the resulting hash values. Note that we only ever used
+	the 32-bit version of the FNV algorithm; Tcl's core hash engine
+	assumes that hash values are simple unsigned ints.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Code that depends on hash iteration order (especially tests) may well
+	be disrupted by this. Where a definite order is required, the fix is
+	usually to just sort the results after extracting them from the hash.
+	Where this is insufficient, the code that has ceased working was
+	always wrong and was only working by chance.
+
+2010-02-05  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileErrorCmd): Added compilation of the
+	[error] command. No new bytecodes.
+
+2010-02-05  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl:	Follow-up to earlier commit today:
+	          Eliminate the need for an extra Stubs Pointer for adressing
+	          a static stub table: Just change the exported table from
+	          static to MODULE_SCOPE.

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

+	* win/tclWinInt.h:	Minor Formatting
+	* generic/tcl.h:	VOID -> void and other formatting
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Minor formatting

+				uninitialized in this function
+
+2010-02-04  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Added more use of error-codes and reduced the
+	stack overhead of older interfaces.
+	(ArrayGetCmd): Stop silly crash when using a trivial pattern due to
+	error in conversion to ensemble.
+	(ArrayNamesCmd): Use the object RE interface for faster matching.
+
+2010-02-03  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (ArrayUnsetCmd): More corrections.
+
+2010-02-02  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Turned the [array] command into a true ensemble.
+
+	* generic/tclOO.c (AllocObject, MyDeleted): A slightly faster way to
+	handle the deletion of [my] is with a standard delete callback. This
+	is because it doesn't require an additional memory allocation during
+	object creation. Also reduced the amount of string manipulation
+	performed during object creation to further streamline memory
+	handling; this is not backported to the 8.5 package as it breaks a
+	number of abstractions.
+
+	* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_Destroy): [Bug 2944404]: Do not
+	crash when a destructor deletes the object that is executing that
+	destructor.
+
+2010-02-01  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): [Bug 2939073]: Stop the [array
+	unset] command from having dangling pointer problems when an unset
+	trace deletes the element that is going to be processed next. Many
+	thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux for the bulk of this fix.
+
+	* generic/regexec.c (ccondissect, crevdissect): [Bug 2942697]: Rework
+	these functions so that certain pathological patterns are matched much
+	more rapidly. Many thanks to Tom Lane for dianosing this issue and
+	providing an initial patch.
+
+2010-01-30  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (tclInstructionTable):	Bytecode instructions

+
+2010-01-29  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: [Bug 2942081]: Reverted Tcl_ThreadDataKey type change

-	* tests/chanio.test:
-	* generic/tclIO.c: Additional changes to data structures for fcopy and
-	* generic/tclIO.h: channels to perform proper cleanup in case of a
-	channel having two background copy operations running as is now
-	possible.
+	* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_Destroy): Move the execution of

+	work for all destructors, but it does mean that more failing calls of

+	* generic/tclOO.c (AllocObject, MyDeletedTrace, ObjectRenamedTrace):
+	(ObjectNamespaceDeleted): Stop various ways of getting at commands

+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c (Tcl_AppInit): [Bug 2902965]: Reverted Jan's change
+	that added a call to Tcl_InitStubs. The 'tclsh' and 'tcltest' programs
+	are providers, not consumers of the Stubs table, and should not link

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

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

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

+	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.

+	* tests/tcltest.test: When creating the notwritabledir we deny the

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

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

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

-	* generic/tclResult.c (ReleaseKeys): Workaround for [Bug 1904907].
-	Reset the return option keys to NULL to allow full re-initialization
-	by GetKeys(). This introduces a memory leak for the key objects, but
-	gets us around a crash in the finalization of reflected channels when
-	handling returns, either at compile- or runtime. In both cases we
-	access the keys after they have been released by their thread exit
-	handler. A proper fix is entangled with the untangling of the
-	finalization ordering and attendant issues. For now we choose the
-	lesser evil.

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

+	* generic/tclCompile.c: [Bug 2802881]: The value stashed in
+	* 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
+	envPtr->procPtr.  Once that is done, the CompileEnv controls.  If we
+	let the value of iPtr->compiledProcPtr linger, though, then any other
+	bytecode compile operation that takes place will also have its
+	CompileEnv initialized with it, and that's not correct.  The value is
+	meant to control the compile of the proc body only, not other compile
+	tasks that happen along.  Thanks to Carlos Tasada for discovering and
+	reporting the problem.

+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/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

+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.

+	number of Tcl_UniChars that may be stored in the allocated space.
+	This reduces memory requirement a small bit, and makes some range

+
+	* 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

+
+2009-02-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	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

+
+2009-01-19  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: [Patch 907924]:Added a CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR
+	* unix/tcl.m4:      parameter so that distributors can control where
+	tclConfig.sh goes. Made the installation of 'ldAix' conditional upon
+	actually being on an AIX system. Allowed for downstream packagers to

+	Cassoff for his help.
+	* unix/configure: Autoconf 2.59
+
+2009-01-19  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/build.vc.bat: Improved tools detection and error message
+	* win/makefile.vc: Reorganized the $(TCLOBJ) file list into seperate
+	parts for easier maintenance. Matched all sources built using -GL to
+	both $(lib) and $(link) to use -LTCG and avoid a warning message.
+	Addressed the over-building nature of the htmlhelp target by moving
+	from a pseudo target to a real target dependent on the entire docs/
+	directory contents.
+	* win/nmakehlp.c: Removed -g option and GrepForDefine() func as it
+	isn't being used anymore. The -V option method is much better.
+
+2009-01-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Bump patchlevel to 8.6b1.1 to distinguish
+	* library/init.tcl:	CVS snapshots from the 8.6b1 and 8.6b2 releases
+	* unix/configure.in:	and to deal with the fact that the 8.6b1

 	* win/configure:
 
+2009-01-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken):	Reverted most
+	of the substance of my 2009-01-12 commit. NULLing the objProc field of
+	a Command when deleting it is important so that tests for certain
+	classes of commands don't return false positives when applied to
+	deleted command tokens. Overall change is now just replacement of a
+	false comment with a true one.
+
+2009-01-13  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: [Bug 2502365]: Building of head on HPUX is broken when
+	using the native CC.
+	* unix/configure (autoconf-2.59)
+
+2009-01-13  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_ThrowObjCmd):	Move implementation of [throw]
+	* library/init.tcl (throw):		to C from Tcl.
+
+2009-01-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): One consequence of
+	the NRE rewrite is that there are now situations where a NULL objProc
+	field in a Command struct is perfectly normal. Removed an outdated
+	comment in Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken that claimed we use
+	cmdPtr->objPtr==NULL as a test of command validity. In fact we use
+	cmdPtr->flags&CMD_IS_DELETED to perform that test. Also removed the
+	setting to NULL, since any extension following the advice of the old
+	comment is going to be broken by NRE anyway, and needs to shift to
+	flag-based testing (or stop intruding into such internal matters).
+	Part of [Bug 2486550].
+
+2009-01-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_SIZE): [Bug 2494093]: Corrected
+	failure to limit memory allocation requests to the sizes that can be
+	supported by Tcl's memory allocation routines.
+
+2009-01-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceEnsembleCmd): [Bug 1558654]: Error out
+	when someone gives wrong # of args to [namespace ensemble create].
+
+2009-01-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_UALLOC): [Bug 2494093]: Added missing
+	parens required to get correct results out of things like
+	STRING_UALLOC(num + append).
+
+2009-01-08  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c, generic/tclIndexObj.c, generic/tclListObj.c,
+	* generic/tclObj.c, generic/tclStrToD.c, generic/tclUtil.c,
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Generate errorcodes for the error cases which
+	approximate to "I can't interpret that string as one of those" and
+	"You gave me the wrong number of arguments".
+
+2009-01-07  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/dict.n: [Tk Bug 2491235]: Added more examples.
+
+	* tests/oo.test (oo-22.1): Adjusted test to be less dependent on the
+	specifics of how [info frame] reports general frame information, and
+	instead to focus on what methods add to it; that's really what the
+	test is about anyway.
+
+2009-01-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/stringObj.test:	Revise tests that demand a NULL Tcl_ObjType
+	in certain values to construct those values with [testdstring] so
+	there's no lack of robustness depending on the shimmer history of
+	shared literals.
+
+2009-01-06  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictIncrCmd): Corrected twiddling in internals
+	of dictionaries so that literals can't get destroyed.
+
+	* tests/expr.test: [Bug 2006879]: Eliminate non-ASCII char.
+
+	* generic/tclOOInfo.c (InfoObjectMethodsCmd,InfoClassMethodsCmd):
+	[Bug 2489836]: Only delete pointers that were actually allocated!
+
+	* generic/tclOO.c (TclNRNewObjectInstance, Tcl_NewObjectInstance):
+	[Bug 2481109]: Perform search for existing commands in right context.
+
+2009-01-05  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclNRSourceObjCmd): [Bug 2412068]: Make
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclNREvalFile):    implementation of the
+	[source] command be NRE enabled so that [yield] inside a script
+	sourced in a coroutine can work.
+
+2009-01-04  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: Tidy up spacing and code style.
+
+2009-01-03  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl (tcl::clock::add): Fixed error message formatting
+	in the case where [clock add] is presented with a bad switch.
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-65.1) Added a test case for the above
+	problem [Bug 2481670].
+
+2009-01-02  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): [Bug 878333]: Force the use of the
+	compatibility version of mkstemp() on IRIX.
+	* unix/configure.in, unix/Makefile.in (mkstemp.o):
+	* compat/mkstemp.c (new file): [Bug 741967]: Added a compatibility
+	implementation of the mkstemp() function, which is apparently needed
+	on some platforms.

+2008-08-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOO.c:	Revised TclOO's check for an interp being
+	deleted during handling of object command deletion. The old code was
+	relying on documented features of command delete traces that do not in
+	fact work. [Bug 2039178]
+
+	* tests/oo.test (oo-26.*):	Added tests that demonstrate failure

+
+2008-08-06  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupSimpleVar): Fix bug that the core could
+	not trigger before TclOO: the number of locals was being read from the
+	Proc, which can under some circumstance be out of sync with the
+	localCache's. Found by dgp while investigating [Bug 2037727].
+
+	* library/init.tcl (::unknown): Removed the [namespace inscope]
+	hack that was maintained for Itcl
+
+	*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** for Itcl
+	Itcl users will need a new release with Itcl's [Patch 2040295], or

+	the docs to note the explicit need in embedded use.
+
+2008-08-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Revised timing of the CmdFrame stack
+	* tests/info.test:	management in TclEvalEx so that the CmdFrame
+	will still be on the stack at the time Tcl_LogCommandInfo is called to
+	append another level of -errorinfo information. Sets the stage to add
+	file and line data to the stack trace. Added test to check that [info
+	frame] functioning remains unchanged by the revision.
+
+2008-07-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/NRE.test:  Replaced all deep-recursing tests by shallower
+	tests that actually measure the C-stack depth. This makes them
+	bearable again (even under memdebug) and avoid crashing on failure.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	NR-enabling [catch], [if] and [for] and

+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Clean up
+	* generic/tclNRE.h:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Made use of the thread's alloc cache stored in
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	the ekeko at interp creation to avoid hitting
+	* generic/tclNRE.h:	the TSD each time an NRE callback is pushed or
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: pulled; the approach is suitably general
+	to extend to every other obj allocation where an interp is know; this
+	is left for some other time, requires a lot of grunt work.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	 Fix [Bug 2030670] that cause TclStackRealloc
+	to panic on rare corner cases. Thx ajpasadyn for diagnose and patch.
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	 Completely revamped NRE implementation, with
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	 (almost) unchanged API.
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	 TEBC will require a bit of a facelift, but
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:	 TEOV at least looks great now. There are new
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	 tests (incomplete!) to verify that execution
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	 is indeed in the same TEBC instance, at the
+	* generic/tclNRE.h:	 same level in all stacks involved. Tailcalls
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	 are still a bit leaky, still deserving to be
+	* generic/tclOOBasic.c:	 in tcl::unsupported.
+	* generic/tclOOMethod.c:
+	* generic/tclProc.c:	 Uninit'd var warnings in TEBC with -O2, no

+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3:		CONSTified many functions using

+	This change complies with TIP #27.
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+
+2008-07-28  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Added missing ref count when creating an empty
+	string as path (TclEvalEx). In 8.4 the missing code caused panics in
+	the testsuite. It doesn't in 8.5. I am guessing that the code path
+	with the missing the incr-refcount is not invoked any longer. Because
+	the bug in itself is certainly the same.
+
+2008-07-27  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOOMethod.c (PushMethodCallFrame): Remove hack that should

+
+2008-07-27  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/Object.3:		CONSTified 3 functions using Tcl_ObjType

+	* generic/tcl.h:	Tcl_RegisterObjType, Tcl_ConvertToType,
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	Tcl_GetObjType
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Introduced a CONST86_RETURN, so extensions

+	* generic/tclOOMethod.c: modified to compile against both Tcl 8.5 and
+	* generic/tclTestobj.c:	Tcl 8.6. tclDecls.h regenerated

+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+
+2008-07-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* test/info.test: More work on singleTestInterp usability. [1605269]
+
+	* tests/info.test: Tests 38.* added, exactly testing the tracking of
+	location for uplevel scripts. Resolved merge conflict on info-37.0,
+	switched !singleTestInterp constraint to glob matching instead. Ditto
+	info-22.8, removed constraint, more glob matching, and reduced the
+	depth of the stack we check. More is coming, right now I want to
+	commit the bug fixes.
+
+	* tests/oo.test: Updated oo-22.1 for expanded location tracking.
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclInitCompileEnv): Reorganized the
+	initialization of the #280 location information to match the flow in
+	TclEvalObjEx to get more absolute contexts.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjEx): Added missing cleanup of extended
+	location information.
+
+2008-07-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/info.test (info-37.0): Add !singleTestInterp constraint;

+	to tcltest.tcl line number changes, remove knownBug constraint, fix
+	expected result. [Bug 1605269]
+
+2008-07-24  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/Notifier.3:      CONSTified 4 functions in the Notifier which
+	* doc/Thread.3:	       all have a Tcl_Time* in it which is supposed
+	* generic/tcl.decls:   to be a constant, but this was not reflected
+	* generic/tcl.h:       reflected in the API:

+	* generic/tclNotify.c:	    Tcl_ConditionWait, Tcl_SetMaxBlockTime
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c:

+	* win/tclWinNotify.c:  Tcl 8.5 and Tcl 8.6
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c:    Regenerated tclDecls.h with "make stubs".

+

+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Modified TclArgumentGet to reject pure lists
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: immediately, without search. Reworked setup of
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: eoFramePtr, doesn't need the line information,
+	* tests/info.test: more sensible to have everything on line 1 when
+	eval'ing a pure list. Updated the users of the line information to
+	special case this based on the frame type (i.e.
+	TCL_LOCATION_EVAL_LIST). Added a testcase demonstrating the new
+	behaviour.

+
+2008-07-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: Made the new TclEnterCmdWordIndex static, and
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: ansified.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Ansified the new functions. Added missing
+	function comments.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Reworked the handling of bytecode literals for
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: #280 to fix the abysmal performance for deep
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: recursion, replaced the linear search through
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: the whole stack with another hashtable and
+	* generic/tclInt.h: simplified the data structure used by the compiler
+	by using an array instead of a hashtable. Incidentially this also
+	fixes the memory leak reported via [Bug 2024937].
+
+2008-07-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	 Added numLevels field to CommandFrame, let

+2008-07-21  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Extended the existing TIP #280 system (info
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: frame), added the ability to track the absolute
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: location of literal procedure arguments, and
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: making this information available to uplevel
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: eval, and siblings. This allows proper

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

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

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

+
+	NOTE: The file 'tclIORTrans.c' has a lot of code in common with the

+	* tests/io.test (io-53.9): Need to close chan before removing file.
+
+2008-05-26  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* win/makefile.bc:		    Remove deprecated winhelp target.
+	* win/Makefile.in, win/makefile.vc: It didn't work correctly anyway.
+
+2008-05-23  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (FileWideSeekProc): Accepted a patch by Alexandre
+	Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> to fix the [Bug 1965787].
+	'tell' now works for locations > 2 GB as well instead of going
+	negative.
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize): Accepted a patch by
+	* tests/io.test: Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
+	* tests/chanio.test: to fix the [Bug 1969953]. Buffersize outside of
+	the supported range are now clipped to nearest boundary instead of
+	ignored.
+
+2008-05-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_LogCommandInfo):	Restored ability to
+	handle the argument value length = -1. Thanks to Chris Darroch for
+	discovering the bug and providing the fix. [Bug 1968245]
+
+2008-05-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (ParseComment):	The new TclParseAllWhiteSpace
+	* tests/parse.test (parse-15.60):	routine has no mechanism to
+	return the "incomplete" status of "\\\n" so calling this routine
+	anywhere that can be reached within a Tcl_ParseCommand() call is a
+	mistake. In particular, ParseComment() must not use it. [Bug 1968882]
+
+2008-05-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_SetNamespaceUnknownHandler): Corrected odd
+	logic for handling installation of namespace unknown handlers which
+	could lead too very strange things happening in the error case.
+
+2008-05-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: Fix crash with tcl_traceExec. Found and fixed

+
+2008-05-15  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: We should use the thread allocator for threaded
+	* win/rules.vc:	   builds. Added 'tclalloc' option to disable.
+
+2008-05-09  George Peter Staplin  <georgeps@xmission.com>
+
+	* tools/tsdPerf.c:	A loadable Tcl extension for testing TSD
+	performance.
+	* tools/tsdPerf.tcl:	A simplistic tool that uses the thread

+	simulating, simple TSD contention.
+
+2008-05-09  George Peter Staplin  <georgeps@xmission.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Make Tcl_ThreadDataKey a void *.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Change around some function names and add some
+	new per-platform declarations for thread-specific data functions.
+	* generic/tclThread.c:	Make use of of the new function names that no
+	longer have a Tclp prefix.
+	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: Replace the core thread-specific data
+	(TSD) mechanism with an array offset solution that eliminates the hash
+	tables, and only uses one slot of native TSD. Many thanks to Kevin B.
+	Kenny for his help with this.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:	Add platform-specific TSD functions for use by
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c:	tclThreadStorage.c.
+
+2008-05-09  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/dict.test (dict-19.2): Corrected a bug where the test was
+	changed to use [apply] instead of a temporary proc, but the cleanup
+	script still attempted to delete the temporary proc.
+
+2008-05-07  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@cspool38.cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictAppendCmd): Fix silly off-by
+	one error that caused a crash every time a compiled 'dict append' with
+	more than one argument was used. Found by Colin McCormack.
+
+2008-05-02  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	 Converted the [binary] command into an
+	* generic/tclBinary.c:	 ensemble.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* test/binary.test:	 Updated the error tests for ensemble errors.
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: Reverted accidental commit of TIP 316 APIs.
+
+2008-04-27  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* */*.c: A large tranche of getting rid of pre-C89-isms; if your
+	compiler doesn't support things like proper function declarations,
+	'void' and 'const', borrow a proper one when building Tcl. (The header
+	files allow building things that link against Tcl with really ancient
+	compilers still; the requirement is just when building Tcl itself.)
+
+2008-04-26  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclAsync.c: Tcl_AsyncDelete(): panic if attempt to locate
+	handler token fails. Happens when some other thread attempts to delete
+	somebody else's token.
+
+	Also, panic early if we find out the wrong thread attempting to delete
+	the async handler (common trap). As, only the one that created the
+	handler is allowed to delete it.
+
+2008-04-24  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test: Extended testsuite for reflected channel
+	implementation. Added test cases about how it handles if the rug is
+	pulled out from under a channel (= killing threads, interpreters
+	containing the tcl command for a channel, and channel sitting in a
+	different interpreter/thread.)
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c: Fixed the bugs exposed by the new testcases,
+	redone most of the cleanup and exit handling.
+
+2008-04-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:		Removed all code delimited by
+	* generic/tclTest.c:		USE_OBSOLETE_FS_HOOKS, completing
+	* tests/ioCmd.test:		the deprecation path for these
+	* tests/ioUtil.test (removed):	obsolete interfaces. (Code was active
+	in Tcl 8.4, present but enabled only by customized compile switch in
+	Tcl 8.5, and now completely gone for Tcl 8.6). Also removed all tests
+	relevant only to the removed interfaces.
+
+2008-04-19  George Peter Staplin  <georgeps@xmission.com>
+
+	* doc/Ensemble.3: Fix a typo: s/defiend/defined/
+	Thanks to hat0 for spotting this.
+
+2008-04-16  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:		Make stubs tables 'static const' and
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:	export only module-scope pointers to
+	* generic/tclStubLib.c:		the main stubs tables (for package
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl:		initialization). [Patch 1938497]
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp):
+	* generic/tclTomMathInterface.c (TclTommath_Init):
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:		Revise Tcl_SetNotifier() to use a
+	* generic/tclNotify.c:		module-scope hooks table instead of
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:	runtime stubs-table modification;
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c:	ensure all hookable notifier functions
+	* win/tclWinNotify.c:		check for hooks; remove hook checks in
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:		notifier API callers. [Patch 1938497]
+
+2008-04-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (CopyData):	Applied another patch by Alexandre
+	* io.test (io-53.8a):		Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sf.net>,
+	* chanio.test (chan-io-53.8a):	to shift EOF handling to the async
+	part of the command if a callback is specified, should the channel be
+	at EOF already when fcopy is called. Testcase by myself.
+
+2008-04-15  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	Adjust tclDTrace.h dependencies for removal
+				of tclStubLib.o from TCL_OBJS. [Bug 1942795]
+
+2008-04-14  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (NativeGetTime): Removed obsolete use of

+
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-33.5, clock-33.5a, clock-33.8, clock-33.8a):
+	Added comments to the test that it can fail on a heavily loaded
+	system.
+
+2008-04-10  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Keeping check for negative
+	values, changed to not be an error, but behave like the special value
+	-1 (copy all, default).
+
+	* tests/iocmd.test (iocmd-15.{12,13}): Removed.
+
+	* tests/io.test (io-52.5{,a,b}): Reverted last change, added
+	* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-52.5{,a,b}): comment regarding the
+	meaning of -1, added two more testcases for other negative values,
+	and input wrapped to negative.
+
+2008-04-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/{fCmd,unixFCmd,winFCmd,winFile}.test: Tidying up of the test
+	suite to make better use of tcltest2 and be clearer about what is
+	being tested.
+
+	* win/Makefile.in (html): Added target for doing convenient
+	documentation builds, mirroring the one from unix/Makefile.
+
+2008-04-09  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-52.5): Removed '-size -1' from test,
+	* tests/io.test (io-52.5): does not seem to have any bearing, and was
+	an illegal value. Test case is not affected by the value of -size,
+	test flag restoration and that evrything was properly copied.
+
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Added checking of -size value
+	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-15.{13,14}): to reject negative values, and
+	values overflowing 32-bit signed. Basic patch by Alexandre Ferrieux
+	<ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>, with modifications from me to
+	separate overflow from true negative value. Extended testsuite. [Bug
+	1557855]
+
+2008-04-09  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-53.8,53.9,53.10): Fix typo & quoting for
+	* tests/io.test (io-53.8,53.9,53.10):	       spaces in builddir path
+
+2008-04-08  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Added comments to the alignment macros used in
+	GrowEvaluationStack() and friends.
+
+2008-04-08  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl:	Revert erroneous 2008-04-02 change marking

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

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

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

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

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

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

+
+2008-03-18  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::Defaults): Modified handling of
+	environment variables. Solution slightly different than proposed in
+	the report. Using the underscored form TCLX_y_TM_PATH even if
+	TCLX.y_TM_PATH exists. Also using a loop to cut prevent code
+	replication. [Bug 1914604]
+
+2008-03-16  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictForCmd): Correct the handling

+	* doc/lreplace.n: Clarified documentation of what happens with

+
+2008-03-14  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

+	sub-encodings, fixes encoding-11.1 failing after iso2022-jp loaded.
+	[Bug 1893053]
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: Avoid using CoreFoundation after fork() on

+
+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj:	Add support for Xcode 3.1 and
+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/default.pbxuser:	configs for building with

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

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

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

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

+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c, unix/tclUnixPort.h, unix/tclUnixChan.c:

+
+2008-02-26  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>

+2008-02-26  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure.in(socklen_t test): Define socklen_t as "int" if

+
+2008-02-26  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: Set version 2.5.5
