+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.

+2013-09-19  Donal Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/next.n (METHOD SEARCH ORDER): Bug [3606943]: Corrected
+	description of method search order.

+	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.

+
+	* generic/tclOOMethod.c (CloneProcedureMethod): [Bug 3609693]: Strip

+	* unix/tclXtNotify.c: Bug [817249]: bring tclXtNotify.c up to date with
+	Tcl_SetNotifier() change.
+
+2013-07-02  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+

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

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

+	Bumped msgcat version to 1.5.2
+
+2013-05-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tclCompile.c: Removed duplicate const qualifier causing the HP
+	native cc to error out.
+
+2013-05-22  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclUtf.c (TclUtfCasecmp): [Bug 3613609]: Replace problematic
+	uses of strcasecmp with a proper UTF-8-aware version. Affects both
+	[lsearch -nocase] and [lsort -nocase].
+
+2013-05-22  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/file.n: [Bug 3613671]: Added note to portability section on the
+	fact that [file owned] does not produce useful results on Windows.
+
+2013-05-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DefaultTempDir): [Bug 3613567]: Corrected logic
+	for checking return code of access() system call, which was inverted.
+
+2013-05-19  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4:     Fix for FreeBSD, and remove support for older
+	* unix/configure:  FreeBSD versions. Patch by Pietro Cerutti.
+
+2013-05-18  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmdsGR.c: Split tclCompCmds.c again to keep size of
+	code down.
+
+2013-05-16  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Add panic in order to detect incompatible
+	mingw32 sys/stat.h and sys/time.h headers.
+
+2013-05-13  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* compat/zlib/*: Upgrade to zlib 1.2.8
+
+2013-05-10  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	Optimizations and general bytecode generation improvements.
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileAppendCmd, TclCompileLappendCmd):
+	(TclCompileReturnCmd): Make these generate bytecode in more cases.
+	(TclCompileListCmd): Make this able to push a literal when it can.
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclSetByteCodeFromAny, PeepholeOptimize):
+	Added checks to see if we can apply some simple cross-command-boundary
+	optimizations, and defined a small number of such optimizations.
+	(TclCompileScript): Added the special ability to compile the list
+	command with expansion ([list {*}blah]) into bytecode that does not
+	call an external command.
+
+2013-05-06  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Add support for Cygwin64, which has a 64-bit
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: "long" type. Binary compatibility with win64
+	requires that all stub entries use 32-bit long's, therefore the need
+	for various wrapper functions/macros. For Tcl 9 a better solution is
+	needed, but that cannot be done without introducing binary
+	incompatibility.
+
+2013-04-30  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/platform/platform.tcl (::platform::LibcVersion):
+	* library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: Followup to the 2013-01-30 change.

+	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.
+

+2013-01-23  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): [Bug 2911139]: Do not do vwait

+2013-01-21  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: Put back Tcl[GS]etStartupScript(Path|FileName)

+
+	* Makefile.in:   Allow win32 build with -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED, just as

+
+2013-01-14  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

+
+	* generic/tclOOStubLib.c: Restrict the stub library to only use
+	* generic/tclTomMathStubLib.c: Tcl_PkgRequireEx, Tcl_ResetResult and
+	Tcl_AppendResult, not any other function. This puts least restrictions
+	on eventual Tcl 9 stubs re-organization, and it works on the widest

+
+2013-01-06  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* library/http/http.tcl: Don't depend on Spencer-specific regexp

+
+2013-01-04  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEnsemble.c (CompileBasicNArgCommand): Added very simple
+	compiler (which just compiles to a normal invoke of the implementation
+	command) for many ensemble subcommands where we can prove that there
+	is no way for scripts to detect the difference even through error
+	handling or [info level]/[info frame]. This improves the code produced
+	from some ensembles (e.g., [info], [string]) to the point where the
+	ensemble is now not normally seen at the bytecode level at all.
+
+2013-01-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+	Bron on the Tcler's Chat.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBCresume:INST_INVOKE_REPLACE):
+	* generic/tclEnsemble.c (TclCompileEnsemble): Added new mechanism to
+	allow for more efficient dispatch of non-bytecode-compiled subcommands
+	of bytecode-compiled ensembles. This can provide substantial speed
+	benefits in some cases.
+
+2013-01-02  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEnsemble.c:  Remove stray calls to Tcl_Alloc and friends:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:   the core should only use ckalloc to allow

+	* generic/tclTomMathInterface.c:

+
+2012-12-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	(CatchObjCmdCallback): do not decrRefCount

+
+	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl (plus-pkgs): Increased robustness of

+	* unix/Makefile.in (dist): Added pkgs/package.list.txt to distribution
+	builds to ensure that 'make html' will work better.
+
+2012-12-09  Alexandre Ferrieux  <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/chan.test: Clean up unwanted eofchar side-effect of chan-4.6

+
+2012-12-07  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* unix/dltest/pkgb.c:  Turn pkgb.so into a Tcl9 interoperability test

+        either result in an error-message, either succeed, but never crash.
+
+2012-11-28  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+

+
+	* unix/tclUnixSock.c: Factor out creation of the -sockname and

+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TclUnixOpenTemporaryFile): [Bug 2933003]: Factor

+	to make it correct in one place. Allow overriding of the back-stop
+	default temporary file location at compile time by setting the
+	TCL_TEMPORARY_FILE_DIRECTORY #def to a string containing the directory
+	name (defaults to "/tmp" as that is the most common default).
+
+2012-11-13  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c: also search for the library directory (init.tcl,

+	source checkout.
+
+2012-11-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+
+2012-11-06  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* library/http/http.tcl (http::Finish): [Bug 3581754]: Ensure that
+	callbacks are done at most once to prevent problems with timeouts on a
+	keep-alive connection (combined with reentrant http package use)
+	causing excessive stack growth. Not a fix for the underlying problem,
+	but ensures that pain will be mostly kept away from users.
+	Bump http package to 2.8.5.
+
+2012-11-05  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	Added bytecode compilation of many Tcl commands. Some of these are
+	total compilations and some are only partial (i.e., only compile in
+	some cases). The (sub-)commands affected are:
+	* array: exists, set, unset
+	* dict: create, exists, merge
+	* format: (simple cases only)
+	* info: commands, coroutine, level, object
+	* info object: class, isa object, namespace
+	* namespace: current, code, qualifiers, tail, which
+	* regsub: (only cases convertable to simple [string map])
+	* self: (only no-argument and [self object] cases)
+	* string: first, last, map, range
+	* tailcall:
+	* yield:
+
+	[This was work originally done on the 'dkf-compile-misc-info' branch.]
+
+2012-11-05  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#413
+
+	Align the [string trim] and [string is space] commands, such that
+	[string trim] by default trims all characters for which [string is
+	space] returns 1, augmented with the NUL character.
+
+	* generic/tclUtf.c: Add NEL, BOM and two more characters to [string is
+	space]
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Modify [string trim] for Unicode modifications.
+	* generic/regc_locale.c: Regexp engine must match [string is space]
+	* doc/string.n
+	* tests/string.test
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Code that relied on characters not previously trimmed being not
+	removed will notice a difference; it is believed that this is rare,
+	but a workaround to get the behavior in Tcl 8.5 is to use " \t\n\r" as
+	an explicit trim set.
+
+2012-10-31  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

+2012-10-23  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:       Add "flags" parameter from Tcl_LoadFile to
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:    to various internal functions, so these

+
+2012-10-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

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

+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test: [Bug 3522560]: Added a test which crashes the core

+	and programmability at the script-level. Introduce new [::oo::Slot]
+	class which is the implementation of these things.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	The unknown method handler now may be asked to deal with the case
+	where no method name is provided at all. The default implementation
+	generates a compatible error message, and any override that forces the
+	presence of a first argument (i.e., a method name) will continue to
+	function as at present as well, so this is a pretty small change.
+
+	* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_Destroy): Made it easier to do a

+
+2011-11-20  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+	* tests/thread.test: Remove unnecessary [after] calls from the thread
+	tests.  Make error message matching more robust for tests that may
+	have built-in race conditions.  Test thread-7.26 must first unset all
+	thread testing related variables.  Revise results of the thread-7.28
+	through thread-7.31 tests to account for the fact they are canceled
+	via a script sent to the thread asynchronously, which then impacts the
+	error message handling.  Attempt to manually drain the event queue for
+	the main thread after joining the test thread to make sure no stray
+	events are processed at the wrong time on the main thread.  Revise all
+	the synchronization and comparison semantics related to the thread id
+	and error message.
+
+2011-11-18  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+	* tests/thread.test: Remove all use of thread::release from the thread
+	7.x tests, replacing it with a script that can easily cause "stuck"
+	threads to self-destruct for those test cases that require it.  Also,
+	make the error message handling far more robust by keeping track of
+	every asynchronous error.
+
+2011-11-17  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+	* tests/thread.test: Refactor all the remaining thread-7.x tests that

+	addition, the thread-7.18 and thread-7.19 tests have been flagged as
+	knownBug because they cannot pass without modifications to the [expr]
+	command, persuant to TIP #392.

+
+2011-09-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIORTrans.c: More revisions to get finalization of

+
+	* tests/thread.test:	Stop using the deprecated thread management

+
+2011-09-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+2011-09-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c: Re-using the "interp" field to signal a dead

+	the dead channel signalling task so the corrupted logic is avoided.
+
+	* generic/tclIORTrans.c: Revised ReflectClose() and

+
+2011-09-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/ioTrans.test:	Conversion from [testthread] to Thread package

+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	Revised TclFindElement() interface. The final
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c:	argument had been bracePtr, the address of a
+	* generic/tclListObj.c:	boolean var, where the caller can be told
+	* generic/tclParse.c:	whether or not the parsed list element was
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	enclosed in braces.  In practice, no callers
+	really care about that.  What the callers really want to know is
+	whether the list element value exists as a literal substring of the
+	string being parsed, or whether a call to TclCopyAndCollpase() is
+	needed to produce the list element value.  Now the final argument is
+	changed to do what callers actually need. This is a better fit for the
+	calls in tclParse.c, where now a good deal of post-processing checking
+	for "naked backslashes" is no longer necessary.
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	For any callers calling in via the internal stubs table who really do
+	use the final argument explicitly to check for the enclosing brace
+	scenario.  Simply looking for the braces where they must be is the
+	revision available to those callers, and it will backport cleanly.
+
+	* tests/parse.test:	Tests for expanded literals quoting detection.
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c:	New TclFindElement() is also a better
+	fit for the [switch] compiler.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Replace TclCountSpaceRuns() with
+	* generic/tclListObj.c:	TclMaxListLength() which is the function we
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	actually want.
+	* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c:
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c: Rewrite of parts of the switch compiler to
+	better use the powers of TclFindElement() and do less parsing on its
+	own.

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

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

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

+
+2010-11-29 Alexandre Ferrieux  <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Patch by Miguel, providing a

+	reported by Karl Lehenbauer, (b) allows TclDoubleDigits to generate
+	the digit strings for 'e' and 'f' format, so that it can be used for
+	tcl_precision != 0 (and possibly later for [format]), (c) fixes [Bug
+	3120139] by making TclPrintDouble inherently locale-independent, (d)
+	adds test cases to util.test for correct rounding in difficult cases
+	of TclDoubleDigits where fixed- precision results are requested. (e)
+	adds test cases to util.test for the controversial aspects of [Bug
+	3105247]. As a side effect, two more modules from libtommath
+	(bn_mp_set_int.c and bn_mp_init_set_int.c) are brought into the build,
+	since the new code uses them.

+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictForCmd): Update the compilation
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (tclInstructionTable):	of [dict for] so that
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBCresume):		it no longer makes any
+	use of INST_DICT_DONE now that's not needed, and make it clearer in
+	the implementation of the instruction that it's just a deprecated form

+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.

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

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

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

+
+2010-09-28  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	[dogeen-assembler-branch]
+
+	* tests/assemble.test: Added more "white box" tests.
+	* generic/tclAssembly.c: Added the error checking and reporting
+	for undefined labels. Revised code so that no pointers into the
+	bytecode sequence are held (because the sequence can move!),
+	that no Tcl_HashEntry pointers are held (because the hash table
+	doesn't guarantee their stability!) and to eliminate the BBHash
+	table, which is merely additional information indexed by jump
+	labels and can just as easily be held in the 'label' structure.
+	Renamed shared structures to CamelCase, and renamed 'label' to
+	JumpLabel because other types of labels may eventually be possible.
+
+2010-09-27  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	[dogeen-assembler-branch]
+
+	* tests/assemble.test: Added more "white box" tests.
+	* generic/tclAssembly.c: Fixed bugs exposed by the new tests.
+	(a) [eval] and [expr] had incorrect stack balance computed if
+	the arg was not a simple word. (b) [concat] accepted a negative
+	operand count. (c) [invoke] accepted a zero or negative operand
+	count. (d) more misspelt error messages.
+	Also replaced a funky NRCallTEBC with the new call
+	TclNRExecuteByteCode, necessitated by a merge with changes on the
+	HEAD.
+
+2010-09-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:    [Patch 3072080] (minus the itcl
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:    update): a saner NRE.
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:  This makes TclNRExecuteByteCode (ex TEBC)
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:  to be a normal NRE citizen: it loses its
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:  special status.
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:  The logic flow within the BC engine is

+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclObj.c:
+	* generic/tclProc.c:

+
+2010-09-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+
+2010-09-26  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	[dogeen-assembler-branch]
+
+	* tests/assemble.test:	Added many new tests moving toward a more
+	comprehensive test suite for the assembler.
+	* generic/tclAssembly.c:	Fixed bugs exposed by the new tests:
+	(a) [bitnot] and [not] had incorrect operand counts. (b)
+	INST_CONCAT cannot concatenate zero objects. (c) misspelt error
+	messages. (d) the "assembly code" internal representation lacked
+	a duplicator, which caused double-frees of the Bytecode object
+	if assembly code ever was duplicated.
+
+2010-09-25  Kevin B. Kenny   <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	[dogeen-assembler-branch]
+
+	* generic/tclAssembly.c:	Massive refactoring of the assembler
+	* generic/tclAssembly.h:	to use a Tcl-like syntax (and use
+	* tests/assemble.test:		Tcl_ParseCommand to parse it). The
+	* tests/assemble1.bench:	refactoring also ensures that
+	Tcl_Tokens in the assembler have string ranges inside the source
+	code, which allows for [eval] and [expr] assembler directives
+	that simply call TclCompileScript and TclCompileExpr recursively.
+
+2010-09-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/stringComp.test: improved string eq/cmp test coverage
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): merge INST_STR_CMP and
+	INST_STR_EQ/INST_STR_NEQ paths.  Speeds up eq/ne/[string eq] with
+	obj-aware comparisons and eq/==/ne/!= with length equality check.
+
+2010-09-24  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tclWinsock.c: [Bug 3056775]: Fixed race condition between thread and

+	documentation on how the module works to the top.

+2010-09-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute: [Bug 3072640]: One more DECACHE_STACK_INFO() was

+
+	* tests/execute.test: Added execute-10.3 for [Bug 3072640]. The test
+	causes a mem failure.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute: Protect all possible writes to ::errorInfo or
+	::errorCode with DECACHE_STACK_INFO(), as they could run traces. The
+	new calls to be protected are Tcl_ResetResult(), Tcl_SetErrorCode(),
+	IllegalExprOperandType(), TclExprFloatError(). The error was triggered

-
-	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpThreadCreate): We need to initialize the

-	field while windows only fills it with a 32 bit value. The result is
-	an inability to join the threads as the ids cannot be matched.

-	* generic/tclFCmd.c:	and tclpFileAttrStrings. This allows
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:	FileSystems to report their attributes

-
-	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (TclGetIndexFromObjList, PrefixMatchObjCmd)

-	* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_ArgvInfo):	Added function for simple parsing of
-	* doc/ParseArgs.3 (new file):	optional arguments to commands. Still
-	needs tests and the like. [FRQ 1446696] Note that some of the type
-	signatures are changed a bit from the proposed implementation so that
-	they better reflect codified good practice for argument order.
-
-2008-10-02  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* tests/info.test (info-23.3): Updated output of the test to handle

-	during matching. [Bug 2129828]

-
-	* generic/tcl.h:	Remove the "result" and "freeProc" fields
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	from the default public declaration of the

-	* generic/tclUtil.c:	that should only be a temporary migration aid.

-
-	* generic/tclOOMethod.c (InvokeProcedureMethod):
-	* generic/tclOO.c (ObjectRenamedTrace): Arrange for only methods that
-	involve callbacks into the Tcl interpreter to be skipped when the
-	interpreter is being torn down. Allows the semantics of destructors in
-	a dying interpreter to be more useful when they're implemented in C.

-2008-08-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (InfoCoroutine):
-	* tests/unsupported.test: New command that returns the FQN of the

-
-2008-08-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (NRInterpCoroutine): Store the caller's eePtr,

-
-2008-08-24  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (TclNRForeachCmd): Converted the [foreach]
-	command to have an NRE-aware non-compiled implementation. Part of the
-	[Bug 2017632] project. Also restructured the code so as to manage its
-	temporary memory more efficiently.
-
-2008-08-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	  Removed unused var; fixed function pointer

-	*** 8.6a2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
-
-	* changes:	Updates for 8.6a2 release.
-
-	* generic/tcl.h:	Drop use of USE_COMPAT85_CONST. That added
-	indirection without value. Use -DCONST86="" to engage source compat
-	support for code written for 8.5 headers.
-
-	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclReToGlob):	Added missing set of the
-	*exactPtr value to really fix [Bug 2065115]. Also avoid possible
-	DString overflow.
-	* tests/regexpComp.test:	Correct duplicate test names.
-
-2008-08-21  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-

-2008-08-21  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* tests/regexp.test, tests/regexpComp.test: Correct re2glob ***=
-	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclReToGlob):	    translation from exact
-	to anywhere-in-string match. [Bug 2065115]
-
-2008-08-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tcl.h:	Reduced the use of CONST86 and eliminated
-	* generic/tcl.decls:	the use of CONST86_RETURN to support source
-	code compatibility with Tcl 8.5 on those public routines passing
-	(Tcl_Filesystem *), (Tcl_Timer *), and (Tcl_Objtype *) values which
-	have been const-ified. What remains is the minimum configurability
-	needed to support code written for pre-8.6 headers via the new
-	-DUSE_COMPAT85_CONST compiler directive.
-	*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

-
-2008-08-21  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_DisassembleObjCmd): Added ability to
-	disassemble TclOO methods. The code to do this is very ugly.
-
-2008-08-21  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclOOMethod.c: Added casts to make MSVC happy
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:
-
-2008-08-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclOO.c (AllocObject): Suppress compilation of commands in
-	the namespace allocated for each object.
-	* generic/tclOOMethod.c (PushMethodCallFrame): Restore some of the
-	hackery that makes calling methods of classes fast. Fixes performance
-	problem introduced by the fix of [Bug 2037727].
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript):    Allow the suppression of
-	* generic/tclInt.h (NS_SUPPRESS_COMPILATION): compilation of commands
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_CreateNamespace):  from a namespace or its
-	children.
-
-2008-08-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclTest.c (TestconcatobjCmd):	Fix use of internal-only
-	TclInvalidateStringRep macro. [Bug 2057479]
-
-2008-08-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	   Implementation of [coroutine] and [yield]

-	* tests/util.test (util-4.7):
-	Fix [Bug 1447328]; the original "fix" turned Tcl_ConcatObj() into a
-	hairy monster. This was exposed by [Bug 2055782]. Additionally,
-	Tcl_ConcatObj could corrupt its input under certain conditions!
-
-	*** NASTY BUG FIXED ***

-
-	* generic/tclCompile.h:	Add support for debug logging of DTrace
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	'proc', 'cmd' and 'inst' probes (does _not_
-				require a platform with DTrace).
-
-	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (TclInfoFrame):	Check fPtr->line before
-						dereferencing as line info may
-						not exists when TclInfoFrame()
-						is called from a DTrace probe.
-
-	* tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-6.23):	Made result matching robust when test
-					workdir and /tmp are not on same FS.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:		Remove unused TclpThreadGetStackSize()
-	* generic/tclInt.h:		and related ifdefs and autoconf tests.

-
-2008-08-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

-
-2008-08-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclOOMethod.c (PushMethodCallFrame):	Added missing check

-
-	* generic/tclProc.c (TclProcCompileProc):	On recompile of a
-	proc, clear away any entries on the CompiledLocal list from the

-	* win/makefile.vc:
-
-2008-08-11  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* library/tm.tcl: Added a 'package provide' command to the generated
-	ifneeded scripts of Tcl Modules, for early detection of conflicts
-	between the version specified through the file name and a 'provide'
-	command in the module implementation, if any. Note that this change
-	also now allows Tcl Modules to not provide a 'provide' command at all,
-	and declaring their version only through their filename.
-
-	* generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_ProcObjCmd): Fixed memory leak triggered by
-	* tests/proc.test: procbody::test::proc. See [Bug 2043636]. Added a
-	test case demonstrating the leak before the fix. Fixed a few spelling
-	errors in test descriptions as well.
-
-2008-08-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* library/http/http.tcl:	Bump http version to 2.7.1 to account
-	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl:	for [Bug 2046486] bug fix. This
-	* unix/Makefile.in:		release of http now requires a
-	* win/Makefile.in:		dependency on Tcl 8.5 to be able to
-	* win/makefile.bc:		use the unsigned formats in the
-	* win/makefile.vc:		[binary scan] command.
-
-2008-08-11  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

-
-2008-08-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclProc.c: Completely removed ProcCompileProc, which was a
-	fix for [Bug 1482718]. This is not needed at least since varReform,
-	where the local variable data at runtime is read from the CallFrame
-	and/or the LocalCache.
-
-2008-08-09  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

-2008-08-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclOO.c:	Revised TclOO's check for an interp being

-	relying on documented features of command delete traces that do not in
-	fact work. [Bug 2039178]
-
-	* tests/oo.test (oo-26.*):	Added tests that demonstrate failure
-	of TclOO to check for various kinds of invalid bytecode during method

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

-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	   Made atProcExit commands run

-
-2008-08-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	   New unsupported command atProcExit that

-
-2008-08-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* doc/Exit.3:			Do not call Tcl_Finalize implicitly
-	* generic/tclEvent.c:		on DLL_PROCESS_DETACH as it may lead
-	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (DllMain):	to issues and the user should be
-	explicitly calling Tcl_Finalize before unloading regardless. Clarify
-	the docs to note the explicit need in embedded use.
-
-2008-08-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Revised timing of the CmdFrame stack
-	* tests/info.test:	management in TclEvalEx so that the CmdFrame
-	will still be on the stack at the time Tcl_LogCommandInfo is called to
-	append another level of -errorinfo information. Sets the stage to add
-	file and line data to the stack trace. Added test to check that [info
-	frame] functioning remains unchanged by the revision.
-
-2008-07-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* tests/NRE.test:  Replaced all deep-recursing tests by shallower
-	tests that actually measure the C-stack depth. This makes them
-	bearable again (even under memdebug) and avoid crashing on failure.
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	NR-enabling [catch], [if] and [for] and
-	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	[while] (the script, not the tests)
-	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
-	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
-	* generic/tclInt.h:
-	* tests/NRE.test:
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Moved the few remaining defs from tclNRE.h to

-	* generic/tclExecute.c: everywhere.

-	* generic/tclExecute.c:
-	* generic/tclTest.c:
-	* tests/NRE.test:
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclNREvalObjEx): New comments and code reorg
-	to clarify what is happening.
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c: Guard against the value of iPtr->evalFlags
-	changing between the times where TEOV and TEOV_exception run. Thanks
-	dgp for catching this.
-
-2008-07-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* tests/NRE.test: New tests that went MIA in the NRE revamping
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Clean up
-	* generic/tclNRE.h:
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Made use of the thread's alloc cache stored in
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	the ekeko at interp creation to avoid hitting
-	* generic/tclNRE.h:	the TSD each time an NRE callback is pushed or
-	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: pulled; the approach is suitably general
-	to extend to every other obj allocation where an interp is know; this
-	is left for some other time, requires a lot of grunt work.
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:	 Fix [Bug 2030670] that cause TclStackRealloc
-	to panic on rare corner cases. Thx ajpasadyn for diagnose and patch.
-
-	* generic/tcl.decls:	 Completely revamped NRE implementation, with
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	 (almost) unchanged API.
-	* generic/tclCompile.h:
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:	 TEBC will require a bit of a facelift, but
-	* generic/tclInt.decls:	 TEOV at least looks great now. There are new
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	 tests (incomplete!) to verify that execution
-	* generic/tclInterp.c:	 is indeed in the same TEBC instance, at the
-	* generic/tclNRE.h:	 same level in all stacks involved. Tailcalls
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	 are still a bit leaky, still deserving to be
-	* generic/tclOOBasic.c:	 in tcl::unsupported.
-	* generic/tclOOMethod.c:
-	* generic/tclProc.c:	 Uninit'd var warnings in TEBC with -O2, no
-	* generic/tclTest.c:	 warnings otherwise.
-

-
-	* doc/FileSystem.3:		CONSTified many functions using
-	* generic/tcl.decls:		Tcl_FileSystem which all are supposed
-	* generic/tclDecls.h:		to be a constant, but this was not
-	* generic/tclFileSystem.h:	reflected in the API: Tcl_FSData,
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:		Tcl_FSGetInternalRep, Tcl_FSRegister,
-	* generic/tclPathObj.c:		Tcl_FSNewNativePath, Tcl_FSUnregister,

-	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
-
-2008-07-28  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c: Added missing ref count when creating an empty
-	string as path (TclEvalEx). In 8.4 the missing code caused panics in
-	the testsuite. It doesn't in 8.5. I am guessing that the code path
-	with the missing the incr-refcount is not invoked any longer. Because
-	the bug in itself is certainly the same.
-
-2008-07-27  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclOOMethod.c (PushMethodCallFrame): Remove hack that should
-	have gone when this code was merged into Tcl.
-
-2008-07-27  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
-
-	* doc/Object.3:		CONSTified 3 functions using Tcl_ObjType

-	* test/info.test: More work on singleTestInterp usability. [1605269]
-

-
-	* tests/fileName.test: Revise to reduce the obscurity of tests. In

-
-	* doc/tm.n: Followup to changelog entry 2008-03-18 regarding

-
-2008-06-17  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclClock.c (ConvertLocalToUTC):
-	* tests/clock.test (clock-63.1): Fixed a bug where the internal
-	ConvertLocalToUTC command segfaulted if passed a dictionary without
-	the 'localSeconds' key. To the best of my knowledge, the bug was not
-	observable in the [clock] command itself.
-
-2008-06-16  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (TclInfoFrame): Moved the code looking up the
-	* tests/info.test: information for key 'proc' out of the
-	TCL_LOCATION_BC branch to after the switch, this is common to all
-	frame types. Updated the testsuite to match. This was exposed by the
-	2008-06-08 commit (Miguel), switching uplevel from direct eval to
-	compilation. [Bug 1987851]
-
-2008-06-16  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* tests/ioTrans.test (iortrans-11.*): Fixed same issue as for

-	entry on 2008-06-10 by myself.
-
-2008-06-13  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* win/rules.vc: SYMBOLS macro is now being set to zero when $(OPTS) is

-	TIP #285 IMPLEMENTATION
-
-	* doc/Eval.3: Added documentation for the Tcl_CancelEval and
-	Tcl_Canceled functions and the TCL_CANCEL_UNWIND flag bit.
-	* doc/after.n: Corrected the spelling of 'canceled' in the
-	documentation.
-	* doc/interp.n: Added documentation for [interp cancel].
-	* generic/tcl.decls: Added the Tcl_CancelEval and Tcl_Canceled
-	functions to the stubs table.
-	* generic/tcl.h: Added the TCL_CANCEL_UNWIND flag bit.
-	* generic/tclBasic.c: The bulk of the script cancellation
-	functionality is defined here. Added code to initialize and manage the
-	script cancellation hash table in a thread-safe manner. Reset script
-	cancellation flags prior to increasing the nesting level (if the
-	nesting level is currently zero) and always cooperatively check for
-	script cancellation near the start of TclEvalObjvInternal and after
-	invoking async handlers.
-	* generic/tclDecls.h: Regenerated.
-	* generic/tclEvent.c: Call TclFinalizeEvaluation during finalization
-	to cleanup the script cancellation hash table. During [vwait], always
-	cooperatively check for script cancellation. Corrected the spelling of
-	'canceled' in comments to be consistent with the documentation.
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: Reset script cancellation flags prior to
-	increasing the nesting level (if the nesting level is currently zero)
-	and always cooperatively check for script cancellation after invoking
-	async handlers. Prevent [catch] from catching script cancellation when
-	the TCL_CANCEL_UNWIND flag is set (similar to the manner used by TIP
-	143 when a limit has been exceeded).
-	* generic/tclInt.decls: Added TclResetCancellation to the internal
-	stubs table.
-	* generic/tclInt.h: Added asyncCancel and asyncCancelMsg fields to the
-	private Interp structure. Added private interp flag value CANCELED to
-	help control script cancellation.
-	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: Regenerated.
-	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_InterpObjCmd): Added [interp cancel]
-	subcommand.
-	* generic/tclNotify.c (Tcl_DeleteEventSource): Corrected the spelling
-	of 'canceled' in comments to be consistent with the documentation.
-	* generic/tclParse.c: Reset script cancellation flags prior to
-	* generic/tclProc.c: increasing the nesting level (if the nesting
-	level is currently zero) and cooperatively check for script
-	cancellation prior to evaluating commands.
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regenerated.
-	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (Tcl_ThreadObjCmd): Added script
-	cancellation support ([testthread cancel]).
-	Modified [testthread id] to allow querying of the 'main' thread ID.
-	Corrected comments to reflect the actual command syntax. Made
-	[testthread wait] cooperatively check for script cancellation. Added
-	[testthread event] to allow for processing one pending event without
-	blocking.
-	* generic/tclTimer.c: Delay for a maximum of 500 milliseconds prior to
-	checking for async handlers and script cancellation.
-	* tests/cmdAH.test: Changed [interp c] to [interp create].
-	* tests/interp.test: Added and fixed tests for [interp cancel].
-	* tests/thread.test: Added tests for script cancellation via
-	[testthread cancel].
-	* tools/man2help2.tcl: Fixed problems with WinHelp target (see
-	* tools/man2tcl.c: [Bug 1934200], [Bug 1934265], and [Bug 1934272]).
-	* win/makefile.vc: Added 'pdbs' option for Windows build rules to
-	* win/rules.vc:	   allow for non-debug builds with full symbols.
-	* win/tcl.hpj.in: Corrected version for WinHelp target.
-	* win/tclWinNotify.c: Used SleepEx and WaitForSingleObjectEx on
-	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Windows because they are alertable.
-
-2008-06-12  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* unix/Makefile.in:		Add complete deps on tclDTrace.h.
-

-						cleanup for Xcode 3.1/Leopard.
-	* macosx/Tcl.xcode/project.pbxproj:	Sync Tcl.xcodeproj changes.
-	* macosx/README:			Document new build configs.
-
-2008-06-10  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclEncoding.c(UtfToUtfProc): Avoid unwanted sign extension
-	when converting incomplete UTF-8 sequences. See [Bug 1908443] for
-	details.
-
-2008-06-10  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* tests/ioTrans.test (iortrans.tf-6.1): Fixed the [Bug 1988552],
-	reported by Kevin. Have to close the channel before removal of the
-	file. Fixed same bug in test 'iortrans.tf-11.0', after fixing missing
-	cleanup of the file in 'iortrans.tf-11.*'. Lastly fixed the names of
-	the threaded tests 'iortrans-8.*' to the correct 'iortrans.tf-8.*'.
-
-2008-06-09  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclIORTrans.c (ReflectInput): Fixed a bug triggered by Pat
-	Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>. Reset the EOF flag after
-	draining the Tcl level into the result buffer, to make sure that the
-	result buffer will be drained as well by repeated calls to
-	ReflectInput should it contain more than one buffer-full of data.
-	Without that reset the higher I/O system will not call on ReflectInput
-	anymore due to the assumed EOF, thus losing the data which did not fit
-	in the buffer of the call which caused the eof and drain.
-
-2008-06-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclOOCall.c (TclOOGetSortedMethodList): Plug memory leak
-	that occurred when all methods were hidden. [Bug 1987817]
-
-2008-06-08  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	   Compilation of uplevel scripts, allow
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:   non-body compiled scripts to access the
-	* generic/tclCompile.c:	   LVT (but not to extend it) and enable the
-	* generic/tclCompile.h:	   canonical list opt to sidestep the
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:	   compiler. [Patch 1973096]
-	* generic/tclProc.c:

-	TIP #230 IMPLEMENTATION
-
-	* generic/tclIOCmd.c: Integration of transform commands into 'chan'
-			      ensemble.
-	* generic/tclInt.h: Definitions of the transform commands.
-	* generic/tclIORTrans.c: Implementation of the reflection transforms.
-	* tests/chan.test:  Tests updated for new sub-commands of 'chan'.
-	* tests/ioCmd.test: Tests updated for new sub-commands of 'chan'.
-	* tests/ioTrans.test: Whole new set of tests for the reflection
-			      transform.
-	* unix/Makefile.in: Integration of new files into build rules.
-	* win/Makefile.in:  Integration of new files into build rules.
-	* win/makefile.vc:  Integration of new files into build rules.
-
-	NOTE: The file 'tclIORTrans.c' has a lot of code in common with the
-	      file 'tclIORChan.c', as that made it much easier to develop the
-	      reference implementation as a separate module. Now that the
-	      transforms have been committed the one thing left to do is to go
-	      over both modules and see which of the common parts we can
-	      factor out and share.

-2008-06-04  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBinary.c: TIP #317 implementation
-	* tests/binary.test:
-
-2008-06-02  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclOO.c (ReleaseClassContents): Fix the one remaining
-	valgrind complaint about oo.test, caused by failing to protect the
-	Object as well as the Class corresponding to a subclass being deleted
-	and hence getting a freed-memory read when attempting to delete the
-	class command. [Bug 1981001]
-
-2008-06-01  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclOOMethod.c (Tcl_NewMethod): Complete the fix of [Bug
-	1981001], previous fix was incomplete though helpful in telling me
-	where to look.
-
-2008-06-01  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
-
-	* win/Makefile.in: Add tclOO genstubs to Windows makefiles and remove
-	* win/makefile.vc: -DBUILD_tcloo because it is no longer required.
-
-2008-06-01  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclOODecls.h:	   Added the swizzling of DLLEXPORT and
-	* generic/tclOOIntDecls.h: DLLIMPORT needed to make EXTERN work.
-
-	* generic/tclDictObj.c:	 Added missing initializers to the ensemble
-				 map to silence a compiler warning. Thanks to
-				 George Peter Staplin for the report.
-
-	* generic/tclOOMethod.c: Fix a bug where the refcount of a method was
-				 reset if the method was redefined while there
-				 was an active invocation. [Bug 1981001]
-
-2008-06-01  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclOO.decls, unix/Makefile.in (genstubs): Make generation of
-	stub tables correct.
-	* generic/tclOO{Decls.h,IntDecls.h,StubInit.c,StubLib.c}: Fixes to
-	make the generation work correctly, removing subtle differences
-	between output of different versions of stub generator.
-
-2008-06-01  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-

-
-	TIP#257 IMPLEMENTATION
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c, generic/tclOOInt.h: Correct declarations.
-	* win/Makefile.in, win/makefile.bc, win/makefile.vc: Build support for
-	Win32, from Joe Mistachkin. [Patch 1980861]
-
-	* generic/tclOO*, doc/*, tests/oo.test: Port of implementation of
-	TclOO to sit directly inside Tcl. Note that this is incomplete (e.g.
-	no build support yet for Windows).
-
-2008-05-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* tests/io.test (io-53.9): Need to close chan before removing file.
-
-2008-05-26  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* win/makefile.bc:		    Remove deprecated winhelp target.

-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

-	discovering the bug and providing the fix. [Bug 1968245]
-
-2008-05-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclParse.c (ParseComment):	The new TclParseAllWhiteSpace
-	* tests/parse.test (parse-15.60):	routine has no mechanism to
-	return the "incomplete" status of "\\\n" so calling this routine
-	anywhere that can be reached within a Tcl_ParseCommand() call is a
-	mistake. In particular, ParseComment() must not use it. [Bug 1968882]
-
-2008-05-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_SetNamespaceUnknownHandler): Corrected odd
-	logic for handling installation of namespace unknown handlers which
-	could lead too very strange things happening in the error case.
-
-2008-05-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c: Fix crash with tcl_traceExec. Found and fixed
-	by Alexander Pasadyn. [Bug 1964803]
-
-2008-05-15  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* win/makefile.vc: We should use the thread allocator for threaded
-	* win/rules.vc:	   builds. Added 'tclalloc' option to disable.
-
-2008-05-09  George Peter Staplin  <georgeps@xmission.com>
-
-	* tools/tsdPerf.c:	A loadable Tcl extension for testing TSD
-	performance.
-	* tools/tsdPerf.tcl:	A simplistic tool that uses the thread
-	extension and tsdPerf.so to get some performance metrics by,
-	simulating, simple TSD contention.
-
-2008-05-09  George Peter Staplin  <georgeps@xmission.com>
-
-	* generic/tcl.h:	Make Tcl_ThreadDataKey a void *.
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	Change around some function names and add some
-	new per-platform declarations for thread-specific data functions.
-	* generic/tclThread.c:	Make use of of the new function names that no
-	longer have a Tclp prefix.
-	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: Replace the core thread-specific data
-	(TSD) mechanism with an array offset solution that eliminates the hash
-	tables, and only uses one slot of native TSD. Many thanks to Kevin B.
-	Kenny for his help with this.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:	Add platform-specific TSD functions for use by
-	* win/tclWinThrd.c:	tclThreadStorage.c.
-
-2008-05-09  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* tests/dict.test (dict-19.2): Corrected a bug where the test was
-	changed to use [apply] instead of a temporary proc, but the cleanup
-	script still attempted to delete the temporary proc.
-
-2008-05-07  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@cspool38.cs.man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictAppendCmd): Fix silly off-by
-	one error that caused a crash every time a compiled 'dict append' with
-	more than one argument was used. Found by Colin McCormack.
-
-2008-05-02  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	 Converted the [binary] command into an
-	* generic/tclBinary.c:	 ensemble.
-	* generic/tclInt.h:
-	* test/binary.test:	 Updated the error tests for ensemble errors.
-
-	* generic/tclFileName.c: Reverted accidental commit of TIP 316 APIs.
-
-2008-04-27  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* */*.c: A large tranche of getting rid of pre-C89-isms; if your
-	compiler doesn't support things like proper function declarations,
-	'void' and 'const', borrow a proper one when building Tcl. (The header
-	files allow building things that link against Tcl with really ancient
-	compilers still; the requirement is just when building Tcl itself.)
-
-2008-04-26  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclAsync.c: Tcl_AsyncDelete(): panic if attempt to locate
-	handler token fails. Happens when some other thread attempts to delete
-	somebody else's token.
-
-	Also, panic early if we find out the wrong thread attempting to delete
-	the async handler (common trap). As, only the one that created the
-	handler is allowed to delete it.
-
-2008-04-24  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* tests/ioCmd.test: Extended testsuite for reflected channel
-	implementation. Added test cases about how it handles if the rug is
-	pulled out from under a channel (= killing threads, interpreters
-	containing the tcl command for a channel, and channel sitting in a
-	different interpreter/thread.)
-
-	* generic/tclIORChan.c: Fixed the bugs exposed by the new testcases,
-	redone most of the cleanup and exit handling.
-
-2008-04-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:		Removed all code delimited by
-	* generic/tclTest.c:		USE_OBSOLETE_FS_HOOKS, completing
-	* tests/ioCmd.test:		the deprecation path for these
-	* tests/ioUtil.test (removed):	obsolete interfaces. (Code was active
-	in Tcl 8.4, present but enabled only by customized compile switch in
-	Tcl 8.5, and now completely gone for Tcl 8.6). Also removed all tests
-	relevant only to the removed interfaces.
-
-2008-04-19  George Peter Staplin  <georgeps@xmission.com>

-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp):
-	* generic/tclTomMathInterface.c (TclTommath_Init):
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h:		Revise Tcl_SetNotifier() to use a

-	* 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

-
-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

-	* 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

-2008-04-07  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
-
-	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendFormatToObj): Fix [format {% 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

-
-2008-04-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectOutput): Allow zero return from write

-	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.

-
-	* 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

-
-	* generic/tcl.h, generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: Tidied up the declarations

-
-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

-	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
-	of stack space calculation (the jump pattern used was confusing the
-	simple-minded code doing the calculations). [Bug 1903325]
-
-	* doc/lreplace.n: Clarified documentation of what happens with
-	negative indices. [Bug 1905809] Added example, tidied up formatting.
-
-2008-03-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (OldMathFuncProc):	Same workaround protection
-	from bad TclStackAlloc() alignment. Thanks George Peter Staplin.
-
-	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd):	Use ckalloc() to allocate
-	SortElement arrays instead of TclStackAlloc() which isn't getting

-	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.

-2008-02-29  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().

+
+	*** 8.6a2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+	* changes:	Updates for 8.6a2 release.
+

+	support for code written for 8.5 headers.
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclReToGlob):	Added missing set of the

+
+2008-08-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Reduced the use of CONST86 and eliminated
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	the use of CONST86_RETURN to support source
+	code compatibility with Tcl 8.5 on those public routines passing
+	(Tcl_Filesystem *), (Tcl_Timer *), and (Tcl_Objtype *) values which

+2008-08-11  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/tm.tcl: Added a 'package provide' command to the generated
+	ifneeded scripts of Tcl Modules, for early detection of conflicts
+	between the version specified through the file name and a 'provide'
+	command in the module implementation, if any. Note that this change
+	also now allows Tcl Modules to not provide a 'provide' command at all,
+	and declaring their version only through their filename.
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_ProcObjCmd): Fixed memory leak triggered by

+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Fix for [Bug 2038069] by dgp.
+	* tests/execute.test:
+
+2008-08-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/nre.test: Added tests for [if], [while] and [for]. A test
+	for [foreach] has been added and marked as knownbug, awaiting for it
+	to be NR-enabled.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	   Made atProcExit commands run

+2008-08-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Stopped faulty double-logging of errors to

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

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

+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	  Changed the implementation of

+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	  Tcl_NRObjProc, replaced with
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	  Tcl_NRCmdSwap (proposed public

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

+	methods and forwards are). On the other hand, callers of
+	TclOOInvokeObject (which is only in the internal stub table) will need

+
+2008-07-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/package.tcl:	Removed [file readable] testing from
+	[tclPkgUnknown] and friends. We find out soon enough whether a file is
+	readable when we try to [source] it, and not testing before allows us
+	to workaround the bugs on some common filesystems where [file

+2008-07-01  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/regc_nfa.c (duptraverse): Impose a maximum stack depth on
+	the single most recursive part of the RE engine. The actual maximum
+	may need tuning, but that needs a system with a small stack to carry
+	out. [Bug 1905562]
+
+	* tests/string.test: Eliminate non-ASCII characters from the actual
+	test script. [Bug 2006884]
+
+2008-06-30  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

+
+2008-06-24  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

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

+2008-06-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOO.c (Tcl_ObjectContextInvokeNext): Corrected 'next' (at

+

+
+	* doc/tm.n: Followup to changelog entry 2008-03-18 regarding

+	observable in the [clock] command itself.
+
+2008-06-16  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (TclInfoFrame): Moved the code looking up the
+	* tests/info.test: information for key 'proc' out of the
+	TCL_LOCATION_BC branch to after the switch, this is common to all
+	frame types. Updated the testsuite to match. This was exposed by the
+	2008-06-08 commit (Miguel), switching uplevel from direct eval to
+	compilation. [Bug 1987851]
+
+2008-06-16  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/ioTrans.test (iortrans-11.*): Fixed same issue as for

+	entry on 2008-06-10 by myself.
+
+2008-06-13  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/rules.vc: SYMBOLS macro is now being set to zero when $(OPTS) is

+
+2008-06-13  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+	TIP #285 IMPLEMENTATION
+
+	* doc/Eval.3: Added documentation for the Tcl_CancelEval and
+	Tcl_Canceled functions and the TCL_CANCEL_UNWIND flag bit.
+	* doc/after.n: Corrected the spelling of 'canceled' in the
+	documentation.
+	* doc/interp.n: Added documentation for [interp cancel].
+	* generic/tcl.decls: Added the Tcl_CancelEval and Tcl_Canceled
+	functions to the stubs table.
+	* generic/tcl.h: Added the TCL_CANCEL_UNWIND flag bit.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: The bulk of the script cancellation
+	functionality is defined here. Added code to initialize and manage the
+	script cancellation hash table in a thread-safe manner. Reset script
+	cancellation flags prior to increasing the nesting level (if the
+	nesting level is currently zero) and always cooperatively check for
+	script cancellation near the start of TclEvalObjvInternal and after
+	invoking async handlers.
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: Regenerated.
+	* generic/tclEvent.c: Call TclFinalizeEvaluation during finalization
+	to cleanup the script cancellation hash table. During [vwait], always
+	cooperatively check for script cancellation. Corrected the spelling of
+	'canceled' in comments to be consistent with the documentation.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Reset script cancellation flags prior to
+	increasing the nesting level (if the nesting level is currently zero)
+	and always cooperatively check for script cancellation after invoking
+	async handlers. Prevent [catch] from catching script cancellation when
+	the TCL_CANCEL_UNWIND flag is set (similar to the manner used by TIP
+	143 when a limit has been exceeded).
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: Added TclResetCancellation to the internal
+	stubs table.
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Added asyncCancel and asyncCancelMsg fields to the
+	private Interp structure. Added private interp flag value CANCELED to
+	help control script cancellation.
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: Regenerated.
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_InterpObjCmd): Added [interp cancel]
+	subcommand.
+	* generic/tclNotify.c (Tcl_DeleteEventSource): Corrected the spelling
+	of 'canceled' in comments to be consistent with the documentation.
+	* generic/tclParse.c: Reset script cancellation flags prior to
+	* generic/tclProc.c: increasing the nesting level (if the nesting
+	level is currently zero) and cooperatively check for script
+	cancellation prior to evaluating commands.
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regenerated.
+	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (Tcl_ThreadObjCmd): Added script
+	cancellation support ([testthread cancel]).
+	Modified [testthread id] to allow querying of the 'main' thread ID.
+	Corrected comments to reflect the actual command syntax. Made
+	[testthread wait] cooperatively check for script cancellation. Added
+	[testthread event] to allow for processing one pending event without
+	blocking.
+	* generic/tclTimer.c: Delay for a maximum of 500 milliseconds prior to
+	checking for async handlers and script cancellation.
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: Changed [interp c] to [interp create].
+	* tests/interp.test: Added and fixed tests for [interp cancel].
+	* tests/thread.test: Added tests for script cancellation via
+	[testthread cancel].
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl: Fixed problems with WinHelp target (see
+	* tools/man2tcl.c: [Bug 1934200], [Bug 1934265], and [Bug 1934272]).
+	* win/makefile.vc: Added 'pdbs' option for Windows build rules to
+	* win/rules.vc:	   allow for non-debug builds with full symbols.
+	* win/tcl.hpj.in: Corrected version for WinHelp target.
+	* win/tclWinNotify.c: Used SleepEx and WaitForSingleObjectEx on
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Windows because they are alertable.
+
+2008-06-12  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:		Add complete deps on tclDTrace.h.

+	* unix/configure.in (SunOS):	Fix static DTrace-enabled build.
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SunOS-5.11): Fix 64bit amd64 support with gcc & Sun cc.
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj:	Add tclIORTrans.c; updates and
+						cleanup for Xcode 3.1/Leopard.
+	* macosx/Tcl.xcode/project.pbxproj:	Sync Tcl.xcodeproj changes.
+	* macosx/README:			Document new build configs.
+
+2008-06-10  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c(UtfToUtfProc): Avoid unwanted sign extension
+	when converting incomplete UTF-8 sequences. See [Bug 1908443] for
+	details.
+
+2008-06-10  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/ioTrans.test (iortrans.tf-6.1): Fixed the [Bug 1988552],
+	reported by Kevin. Have to close the channel before removal of the
+	file. Fixed same bug in test 'iortrans.tf-11.0', after fixing missing
+	cleanup of the file in 'iortrans.tf-11.*'. Lastly fixed the names of
+	the threaded tests 'iortrans-8.*' to the correct 'iortrans.tf-8.*'.
+
+2008-06-09  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIORTrans.c (ReflectInput): Fixed a bug triggered by Pat
+	Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>. Reset the EOF flag after
+	draining the Tcl level into the result buffer, to make sure that the
+	result buffer will be drained as well by repeated calls to
+	ReflectInput should it contain more than one buffer-full of data.
+	Without that reset the higher I/O system will not call on ReflectInput
+	anymore due to the assumed EOF, thus losing the data which did not fit
+	in the buffer of the call which caused the eof and drain.
+
+2008-06-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOOCall.c (TclOOGetSortedMethodList): Plug memory leak
+	that occurred when all methods were hidden. [Bug 1987817]
+
+2008-06-08  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	   Compilation of uplevel scripts, allow

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

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

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

+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c:	 Added missing initializers to the ensemble
+				 map to silence a compiler warning. Thanks to
+				 George Peter Staplin for the report.
+
+	* generic/tclOOMethod.c: Fix a bug where the refcount of a method was

+2008-05-15  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: We should use the thread allocator for threaded
+	* win/rules.vc:	   builds. Added 'tclalloc' option to disable.
+
+2008-05-09  George Peter Staplin  <georgeps@xmission.com>
+
+	* tools/tsdPerf.c:	A loadable Tcl extension for testing TSD
+	performance.
+	* tools/tsdPerf.tcl:	A simplistic tool that uses the thread
+	extension and tsdPerf.so to get some performance metrics by,
+	simulating, simple TSD contention.
+
+2008-05-09  George Peter Staplin  <georgeps@xmission.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Make Tcl_ThreadDataKey a void *.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Change around some function names and add some
+	new per-platform declarations for thread-specific data functions.
+	* generic/tclThread.c:	Make use of of the new function names that no
+	longer have a Tclp prefix.
+	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: Replace the core thread-specific data
+	(TSD) mechanism with an array offset solution that eliminates the hash
+	tables, and only uses one slot of native TSD. Many thanks to Kevin B.
+	Kenny for his help with this.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:	Add platform-specific TSD functions for use by
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c:	tclThreadStorage.c.
+
+2008-05-09  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/dict.test (dict-19.2): Corrected a bug where the test was
+	changed to use [apply] instead of a temporary proc, but the cleanup
+	script still attempted to delete the temporary proc.
+
+2008-05-07  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@cspool38.cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictAppendCmd): Fix silly off-by
+	one error that caused a crash every time a compiled 'dict append' with
+	more than one argument was used. Found by Colin McCormack.
+
+2008-05-02  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	 Converted the [binary] command into an
+	* generic/tclBinary.c:	 ensemble.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* test/binary.test:	 Updated the error tests for ensemble errors.
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: Reverted accidental commit of TIP 316 APIs.
+
+2008-04-27  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* */*.c: A large tranche of getting rid of pre-C89-isms; if your
+	compiler doesn't support things like proper function declarations,
+	'void' and 'const', borrow a proper one when building Tcl. (The header
+	files allow building things that link against Tcl with really ancient
+	compilers still; the requirement is just when building Tcl itself.)
+
+2008-04-26  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclAsync.c: Tcl_AsyncDelete(): panic if attempt to locate
+	handler token fails. Happens when some other thread attempts to delete
+	somebody else's token.
+
+	Also, panic early if we find out the wrong thread attempting to delete
+	the async handler (common trap). As, only the one that created the
+	handler is allowed to delete it.
+
+2008-04-24  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test: Extended testsuite for reflected channel
+	implementation. Added test cases about how it handles if the rug is
+	pulled out from under a channel (= killing threads, interpreters
+	containing the tcl command for a channel, and channel sitting in a
+	different interpreter/thread.)
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c: Fixed the bugs exposed by the new testcases,
+	redone most of the cleanup and exit handling.
+
+2008-04-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:		Removed all code delimited by
+	* generic/tclTest.c:		USE_OBSOLETE_FS_HOOKS, completing
+	* tests/ioCmd.test:		the deprecation path for these
+	* tests/ioUtil.test (removed):	obsolete interfaces. (Code was active
+	in Tcl 8.4, present but enabled only by customized compile switch in
+	Tcl 8.5, and now completely gone for Tcl 8.6). Also removed all tests
+	relevant only to the removed interfaces.
+
+2008-04-19  George Peter Staplin  <georgeps@xmission.com>
+
+	* doc/Ensemble.3: Fix a typo: s/defiend/defined/
+	Thanks to hat0 for spotting this.
+
+2008-04-16  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:		Make stubs tables 'static const' and
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:	export only module-scope pointers to
+	* generic/tclStubLib.c:		the main stubs tables (for package
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl:		initialization). [Patch 1938497]
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp):
+	* generic/tclTomMathInterface.c (TclTommath_Init):
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:		Revise Tcl_SetNotifier() to use a
+	* generic/tclNotify.c:		module-scope hooks table instead of
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:	runtime stubs-table modification;
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c:	ensure all hookable notifier functions
+	* win/tclWinNotify.c:		check for hooks; remove hook checks in
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:		notifier API callers. [Patch 1938497]
+
+2008-04-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (CopyData):	Applied another patch by Alexandre
+	* io.test (io-53.8a):		Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sf.net>,
+	* chanio.test (chan-io-53.8a):	to shift EOF handling to the async
+	part of the command if a callback is specified, should the channel be
+	at EOF already when fcopy is called. Testcase by myself.
+
+2008-04-15  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	Adjust tclDTrace.h dependencies for removal
+				of tclStubLib.o from TCL_OBJS. [Bug 1942795]
+
+2008-04-14  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (NativeGetTime): Removed obsolete use of
+	'struct timezone' in the call to 'gettimeofday'. [Bug 1942197]
+
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-33.5, clock-33.5a, clock-33.8, clock-33.8a):
+	Added comments to the test that it can fail on a heavily loaded
+	system.
+
+2008-04-10  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Keeping check for negative
+	values, changed to not be an error, but behave like the special value
+	-1 (copy all, default).
+
+	* tests/iocmd.test (iocmd-15.{12,13}): Removed.
+
+	* tests/io.test (io-52.5{,a,b}): Reverted last change, added
+	* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-52.5{,a,b}): comment regarding the
+	meaning of -1, added two more testcases for other negative values,
+	and input wrapped to negative.
+
+2008-04-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/{fCmd,unixFCmd,winFCmd,winFile}.test: Tidying up of the test
+	suite to make better use of tcltest2 and be clearer about what is
+	being tested.
+
+	* win/Makefile.in (html): Added target for doing convenient
+	documentation builds, mirroring the one from unix/Makefile.
+
+2008-04-09  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-52.5): Removed '-size -1' from test,
+	* tests/io.test (io-52.5): does not seem to have any bearing, and was
+	an illegal value. Test case is not affected by the value of -size,
+	test flag restoration and that evrything was properly copied.
+
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Added checking of -size value
+	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-15.{13,14}): to reject negative values, and
+	values overflowing 32-bit signed. Basic patch by Alexandre Ferrieux
+	<ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>, with modifications from me to
+	separate overflow from true negative value. Extended testsuite. [Bug
+	1557855]
+
+2008-04-09  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-53.8,53.9,53.10): Fix typo & quoting for
+	* tests/io.test (io-53.8,53.9,53.10):	       spaces in builddir path
+
+2008-04-08  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Added comments to the alignment macros used in
+	GrowEvaluationStack() and friends.
+
+2008-04-08  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl:	Revert erroneous 2008-04-02 change marking
+				*StubsPtr as EXTERN instead of extern.
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	make genstubs
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclTomMathDecls.h:
+
+2008-04-07  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/io.test (io-53.10): Testcase for bi-directional fcopy.
+	* tests/chanio.test:
+	* generic/tclIO.c: Additional changes to data structures for fcopy and
+	* generic/tclIO.h: channels to perform proper cleanup in case of a
+	channel having two background copy operations running as is now
+	possible.
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (BUSY_STATE, CheckChannelErrors, TclCopyChannel):
+	New macro, and the places using it. This change allows for
+	bi-directional fcopy on channels. Thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux
+	<ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> for the patch. [Bug 1350564]
+
+2008-04-07  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendFormatToObj): Fix [format {% d}]
+	so that it behaves the same way as in 8.4 and as C's printf().
+	* tests/format.test: Add a test for '% d' and '%+d'.
+
+2008-04-05  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: (WinSymLinkDirectory): Fixed a problem that Tcl
+	was creating an NTFS junction point (IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT) but
+	filling in the union member for a Vista symbolic link. We had gotten
+	away with this error because the union member
+	(SymbolicLinkReparseBuffer) was misdefined in this file and in the
+	'winnt.h' in early versions of MinGW. MinGW 3.4.2 has the correct
+	definition of SymbolicLinkReparseBuffer, exposing the mismatch, and
+	making tests cmdAH-19.4.1, fCmd-28.*, and filename-11.* fail.
+	* tests/chanio.test (chan-io-53.9):
+	* tests/io.test (io-53.9): Made test cleanup robust against the
+	possibility of slow process shutdown on Windows.
+
+	* win/tcl.m4: Added -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE and
+	-DCRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE to the MSVC compilation flags so that the
+	compilation doesn't barf on perfectly reasonable Posix system calls.
+	* win/configure: Manually patched (don't have the right autoconf to
+	hand).
+
+2008-04-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/io.test (io-53.9): Added testcase for [Bug 780533], based
+	* tests/chanio.test: on Alexandre's test script. Also fixed problem
+	with timer in preceding test, was not canceled properly in the ok case
+
+2008-04-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectOutput): Allow zero return from write
+	when input was zero-length anyway. Otherwise keept it an error, and
+	separate the message from 'written too much'.
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-24.6): Testcase updated for changed message.
+
+	* generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectClose): Added missing removal of the
+	now closed channel from the reflection map. Before we could crash the
+	system by invoking 'chan postevent' on a closed reflected channel,
+	dereferencing the dangling pointer in the map.
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-31.8): Testcase for the above.
+
+2008-04-03  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Applied patch [Bug 1932639] to
+	* tests/io.test: prevent fcopy from calling -command synchronously
+	* tests/chanio.test: the first time. Thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux
+	<ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> for report and patch.
+
+2008-04-02  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	Remove 'export' declarations of symbols now
+				only in libtclstub and no longer in libtcl.
+
+	* generic/tclStubLib.c:	Make symbols in libtclstub.a MODULE_SCOPE to
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl:	avoid exporting them from libraries that link
+				with -ltclstub; constify tcl*StubsPtr and stub
+				table hook pointers. [Bug 1819422]

+
+2008-04-02  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Applied patch for fcopy problem [Bug
+	780533], with many thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux
+	<ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> for tracking it down and providing a
+	solution. Still have to convert his test script into a proper test
+	case.
+
+2008-04-01  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclStrToD.c: Applied patch for [Bug 1839067] (fp rounding
+	* unix/tcl.m4:	       setup on solaris x86, native cc), provided by
+			       Michael Schlenker.
+
+2008-04-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclStubLib.c:	Removed needless #ifdef complexity.
+
+	* generic/tclStubLib.c (Tcl_InitStubs):	Added missing error message.

+	* unix/Makefile.in:	in libtcl.so, but is present only in
+	* win/Makefile.in:	libtclstub.a. This tightens up the rules for

+
+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
+	deal with (slightly buggy) math libraries in which pow() returns an
+	incorrectly rounded result. [Bug 1808174]
+
+2008-03-26  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	*** 8.5.2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+

+
+2008-03-28  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test: Substantial rewrite to use many more tcltest

+2008-03-24  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBinary.c: [Bug 1923966] - crash in binary format
+	* tests/binary.test:   Added tests for the above crash condition.
+
+2008-03-21  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/switch.n: Clarified documentation in respect of two-argument
+	invokation. [Bug 1899962]
+

+	the [switch] command. [Bug 1854435]
+
+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
+	called against a Tcl that was previously built without it at all,
+	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
+	environments have small default stack sizes. [Bug 1905562]
+
+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  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

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

+	[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

+	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]

+
+	* 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>

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

+	* tests/clock.test (clock-61.*, clock-62.1): Regression tests for [Bug
+	1862555] and [Bug 1902423].
+
+2008-02-26  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c, unix/tclUnixPort.h, unix/tclUnixChan.c:

-                  =============================================
-                                    libunicows
-                      -------------------------------------
-                                 Import library for
-                    Microsoft Layer for Unicode (unicows.dll)
-                    
-                         http://libunicows.sourceforge.net
-                  =============================================
-
-
- About
-=======
-
-Traditionally, win32 Unicode API was only available on Windows NT or 2000. If
-you wanted to take advantage of Unicode in your application and support Windows
-95/98 at the same time, your only option was to deploy two executables, one for
-NT and one for 9X. 
-
-Fortunately, this changed in 2001 when MS (finally!) released MSLU runtime that
-allows Unicode applications to run under Windows 9X.
-
-See these pages for details:
-
-    http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/dev/mslu_announce.mspx
-    http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/nettop.asp?page=/msdnmag/issues/01/10/MSLU/MSLU.asp&ad=ads.ddj.com/msdnmag/premium.htm
-
-Less fortunately, this solution requires that you use a special statically
-linked import library that decides at runtime whether to load symbols from
-system libraries like kernel32.dll or user32.dll (in case of Windows NT) or
-from unicows.dll (which provides Unicode emulation layer under 9X). This import
-library is only available for Microsoft Visual C++ and is only part of the new
-Platform SDK, which is rather huge package.
-
-This library contains independent implementation of the import library. It can
-be used with any C compiler (although it was only tested with Mingw32 and MSVC
-so far).
-
-
-
- Installing libunicows
-=======================
-
- Mingw32
----------
-
-Simply copy libunicows.a to the lib subdirectory of your Mingw32 installation 
-(e.g. c:\mingw32\lib).
-
-
- Microsoft Visual C++
-----------------------
-
-Copy unicows.lib to C:\Program Files\Visual Studio\VC98\Lib (assuming you
-installed MSVC into C:\Program Files\Visual Studio and that you have version
-6.0, the path may vary otherwise).
-
-Note: This was tested only with MSVC++ 6.0, but should work with other versions
-      as well.
-
-
- Borland C++
--------------
-
-Copy unicows.lib to %BORLAND%\lib where %BORLAND% is where you installed BC++
-(this directory should contain import32.lib).
- 
- 
- Watcom C/C++
--------------
-
-Copy unicows.lib to %WATCOM%\lib386\nt where %WATCOM% is where you installed
-the compiler.
-
-
- Usage
-=======
-
-1) Add the unicows import library BEFORE other win32 libraries on your command
-line. For example, if your command line for Mingw32 was
-
-    c++ foo.o bar.o -o foo -lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32
-
-change it to
-
-    c++ foo.o bar.o -o foo -lunicows -lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32
-
-No other change is neccessary, you don't have to include any special headers in
-your source files.
-
-
-2) Download Unicows runtime from
-
-    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?releaseid=30039
-    
-or
-    
-    http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/Redist/1.0/W9XMe/EN-US/unicows.exe
-    
-Extract unicows.dll from the package and distribute it with your application. 
-Do *not* install it to Windows system directory, always copy the DLL to your 
-application's directory! (Nobody wants any more of DLL hell...).
- 
-If your application uses Common Controls DLL (very likely) or Rich Edit control,
-make sure the installer installs new enough versions that fully support Unicode
-(Common Controls DLL version 5.80 and RichEdit 4.0).
-
-
- Compiling from sources
-========================
-
-1) Download the source package (libunicows-$version-src.tar.gz)
-
-2) [optional step] Run generate.py to create assembler stubs. You will need
-   Python (http://www.python.org) to run it. You don't have to do this unless
-   you modified symbols.txt or src\template.asm, because generated stubs are
-   already included in source package (in src\gen_asm).
-
-3) Change to 'src' subdirectory and compile the library. You will need
-   NASM (http://nasm.sourceforge.net).
-
-     Mingw32: run make -f makefile.mingw32
-     MSVC:    run nmake -f makefile.vc6
-
-   If your compiler is not supported, you will have to create a makefile/project
-   file for it. You can gen inspiration from existing makefiles. If you do so,
-   please send the makefile (and if possible, compiled unicows.lib) to me,
-   so that I can include it in the next release of libunicows. Thanks!
-
-
- Compiling and using unicows_wrapper.dll
-=========================================
-
-If precompiled version of libunicows is not available for your compiler, you
-can use unicows_wrapper.dll (at the cost of marginally slower calls and 
-the need to install unicows_wrapper.dll on NT/2k/XP boxes, too). Create
-an import library for it in the same way you would do for any other DLL
-and same the created import library as unicows.lib (or whatever name convention
-your compiler uses, the point is to not name it unicows_wrapper.lib). For
-example, this is how to do it with Borland C++ tools:
-
-    implib unicows.lib unicows_wrapper.dll
-
-That is. Use the library as with other compilers, i.e. put unicows.lib as the
-first one on your command line, so that the symbols are found in unicows.lib
-and not in e.g. kernel32.lib.
-
-Unlike with the "native" import libraries, using unicows_wrapper.dll will make
-your application depend on unicows_wrapper.dll even when installed on
-Windows NT/2000/XP. Therefore, your installer must install following files
-in addition to your application's binary and data:
-
-9x/ME:     unicows.dll, unicows_wrapper.dll
-NT/2k/XP:  unicows_wrapper.dll
-

-This is a patched version of zlib modified to use
-Pentium-optimized assembly code in the deflation algorithm. The files
-changed/added by this patch are:
-
-README.586
-match.S
-
-The effectiveness of these modifications is a bit marginal, as the the
-program's bottleneck seems to be mostly L1-cache contention, for which
-there is no real way to work around without rewriting the basic
-algorithm. The speedup on average is around 5-10% (which is generally
-less than the amount of variance between subsequent executions).
-However, when used at level 9 compression, the cache contention can
-drop enough for the assembly version to achieve 10-20% speedup (and
-sometimes more, depending on the amount of overall redundancy in the
-files). Even here, though, cache contention can still be the limiting
-factor, depending on the nature of the program using the zlib library.
-This may also mean that better improvements will be seen on a Pentium
-with MMX, which suffers much less from L1-cache contention, but I have
-not yet verified this.
-
-Note that this code has been tailored for the Pentium in particular,
-and will not perform well on the Pentium Pro (due to the use of a
-partial register in the inner loop).
-
-If you are using an assembler other than GNU as, you will have to
-translate match.S to use your assembler's syntax. (Have fun.)

-Added for zlib 1.1.3:
-
-The patches come from
-http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/assembly.html
-
-To compile zlib with this asm file, copy match.S to the zlib directory
-then do:
-
-CFLAGS="-O3 -DASMV" ./configure
-make OBJA=match.o

- * The first instruction uses a 16-bit address, which costs an extra,

- * zeroing the high word, due to the 3-cycle misalignment penalty which
- * would occur half the time. This also turns out to be cheaper than
- * doing two separate 8-bit accesses, as the memory is so rarely in the
- * L1 cache.
- *
- * The window buffer, however, apparently spends a lot of time in the
- * cache, and so it is faster to retrieve the word at the end of the
- * match string with two 8-bit loads. The instructions that test the
- * word at the beginning of the match string, however, are executed
- * much less frequently, and there it was cheaper to use 16-bit
- * instructions, which avoided the necessity of saving off and
- * subsequently reloading one of the other registers.

-;  longest_match_686 : written by Brian raiter (1998), optimized for Pentium Pro
-;
-;  for using an seembly version of longest_match, you need define ASMV in project
-;  There is two way in using gvmat32.asm
-;
-;  A) Suggested method
-;    if you want include both longest_match_7fff and longest_match_686
-;    compile the asm file running
-;           ml /coff /Zi /Flgvmat32.lst /c gvmat32.asm
-;    and include gvmat32c.c in your project
-;    if you have an old cpu (386,486 or first Pentium) and s->w_mask==0x7fff,
-;        longest_match_7fff will be used
-;    if you have a more modern CPU (Pentium Pro, II and higher)
-;        longest_match_686 will be used
-;    on old cpu with s->w_mask!=0x7fff, longest_match_686 will be used,
-;        but this is not a sitation you'll find often
-;
-;  B) Alternative
-;    if you are not interresed in old cpu performance and want the smaller
-;       binaries possible

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

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