	* README: Added SCO notes

	* Python/thread_solaris.h (start_new_thread): create new threads

	* Python/traceback.c (tb_print): don't store in sys.last_traceback
	(that's done in pythonrun.c:print_error() now)

	* Python/bltinmodule.c: added __import__ built-in function;
	restructured argument parsing of most built-ins to use

	retrying after failing instance_getattr1() call; use
	err_{fetch,restore} everywhere

	* Modules/tkintermodule.c: use PyErr_{Fetch,Restore} instead of
	{GetAndClear,SetObject}; fix NULL dereference in TimerHandler

	* configure.in, Modules/timemodule.c: on some systems,
	gettimeofday() has no second argument

	* Modules/socketmodule.c: if O_NDELAY undefined, use O_NONBLOCK
	(for QNX); use gethostbyname_r if it exists (since it is
	re-entrant); use h_error and hstrerror when they exist; other
	changes for re-entrancy; make printable representation more
	useful; cosmetic changes in argument lists

	* Modules/signalmodule.c: if NSIG undefined, use _SIGMAX + 1

	* Modules/posixmodule.c: changes for direct/dirent dictated by
	autoconf 2.0

	* Modules/config.c.in: added standard built-in module "imp"

	* Doc/libtypes.tex (File Objects): add footnote
	explaining why readline() leaves the trailing newline in

Sat Nov 19 15:14:02 1994  Guido Van Rossum  <guido@tesla>

	* Objects/mappingobject.c: ma_table may now be NULL (when ma_size
	== ); changes to avoid re-entering the interpreter via DECREF
	while the mapping object is being modified

	* Several other places: similar

	* errors.[ch]: new functions err_fetch and err_restore
	fetch and restore all three exception related values (plus places
	using these)

	* Makefile.in (TESTPATH): Added ./Modules to test path so

	"Translating labels" header only if debugging

	* Doc/ref[36].tex: some typos

	arguments without surrounding parentheses
	(when called as newgetargs()), and better error messages

	* Include/classobject.h, Objects/classobject.c,
	Python/{ceval.c,bltinmodule.c}: entirely redone operator
	overloading.  The rules for class instances are now much more
	relaxed than for other built-in types
	(whose coerce must still return two objects of the same type)

Sun Sep 18 07:26:39 1994  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cayenne.cwi.nl>

	* Python/pythonrun.c (print_error): print only last line of

        strings

Fri Sep 16 15:54:56 1994  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

	* Python/modsupport.c (do_arg): added error message if "O!" fails;
	change type of converter for "O&" to function returning int taking
	an object* and a void* parameter; it should return 1 for success
	or return 0 and set an exception for failure to convert

Wed Sep 14 14:08:44 1994  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

	* Include/Python.h: new header file for new naming scheme

	* various modules: #include "Python.h" and remove most remporary
	renaming hacks

	* Lib/whrandom.py: if seed is (0,0,0), initialize from current
	time; default seed's arguments to (0,0,0)

	* Python/ceval.c (eval_code), Include/ceval.h: added registry of
        pending functions (to be used by functions that are called
        asynchronously, like UNIX signal handlers or Mac I/O completion
        routines)

Wed Sep 14 11:05:36 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Doc/libsys.tex (section{Built-in Module \sectcode{sys}}):
	documented sys.check_interval

Tue Sep 13 21:35:19 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Import/pythonrun.h, Python/{import,pythonrun}.c,
	mac/macsetfiletype.c: changes by Jack to execute .pyc file passed
	as command line argument.  On the Mac .pyc files are given a
	special type so they can be double-clicked

	* Modules/stropmodule.c (strop_[r]find): change index range check
	-- don't raise ValueError buit silently clip when it's out of
	range (this is compatible with slicing)

Mon Sep 12 12:53:07 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Extensions/X11/Xmmodule.c: (Sjoerd): Implemented
	Xm.OptionButtonGadget and Xm.OptionLabelGadget

	* Modules/makesetup: (Sjoerd): treat words beginning with a dollar
	and not ending in a well-known extension as linker arguments

	* Lib/urlparse.py: URL parser according to the latest Internet
	draft

	* README: added note about HP-UX

Sun Sep 11 12:12:28 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Misc/indent.pro: Steen's approximation of my C style as a GNU
	indent profile

	* Modules/{Setup.in,termios.c}: add Steen's termios; also
	Lib/[pt]ty.py, Demo/scripts/script.py, Lib/irix5/TERMIOS.py

	* Demo/scripts/h2py.py: merged in Steen Lumholt's changes to
	handle #include.  Now also handles one-argument macros.

	* configure.in: use uname to decide how to create / link shared
	libraries and to set $(MACHDEP) (machine dependent subdirectory of
	Lib)

	* Makefile.in: shared library support; added target sharedinstall
	which move shared libraries into Lib/$(MACHDEP)

	* Modules/{Makefile.pre.in,Setup.in,makesetup}: support shared
	libraries.  Had to re-engineer rule production in makesetup
	because sed was dumping core on the script fed to it -- now the
	rules are always appended to the end of the Makefile.

Fri Sep  9 11:35:28 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Lib/uu.py: new module, does uuencode/uudecode (thanks to Lance)

	* Grammar/Grammar: fewer #diagram:break hacks needed; removed
	history from file

Thu Sep  8 10:24:41 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Parser/grammar1.c (finddfa): massive speed up by using direct
	addressing instead of searching

	added {BGN,END}_SAVE around pause() call

	* Objects/object.c (DELREF): must zap type pointer *before*
	calling free() (or other destructor)

Sat Sep  3 14:12:38 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Modules/{Setup.in,tkintermodule.c,tkappinit.c}: moved tkinter
	into the main Modules directory, and its Lib and Demo
	subdirectories into the main Lib and Demo directories.  Moved
	definition of STDWIN component and TK component of PYTHONPATH to
	their respective sections so it's easier to remember to enable
	them.

	* Python/pythonrun.c (cleanup), Include/pythonrun.h: added
	Py_AtExit() -- register cleanup functions for C modules

Tue Aug 30 10:53:50 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Python/getmtime.c: Remove mac specifics (Mac subdirectory has
	its own version now)

	listtuple(v) for lists

Mon Aug 29 15:41:02 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Various places: merged THINK C 6.0 and MPW 3.2 mods: Python 1.1
	should build flawlessly on the Mac using either compiler

Fri Aug 26 10:18:05 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Doc/tut.tex (subsection{Lambda Forms}): fix typo in lambda
	example

Thu Aug 25 12:30:11 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Lib/importall.py: obsolete.

	* Lib/{compileall,py_compile}.py: new modules for compiling .py
	files.

	* Modules/timemodule.c (floattime), Objects/longobject.c
	(dgetlongvalue): add (double) casts for the benefit of the SCO C
	compiler

Tue Aug 23 00:52:32 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Modules/Setup.*: removed all except Setup.in (huh?  I thought
	I'd done that already?!); disable gdbm by default

	* Modules/makesetup: support C++ files now; these should be given
	as file.C or file.cc or file.c++; C files can be given as file.c
	(instead of file.o, which is still supported)

	* configure.in, */Makefile*.in: OPT can now be specified in the
	env at configure time and will then be put in all Makefiles as
	default

	* Modules/config.c.in: change mac specific things

	* Python/import.c: add lost NT-specific code back in

	* Parser/tokenizer.c: backup over illegal newline in string
	literal (for "completeness" test)

	* Include/node.h: make some fields short to save space during
	parsing

	* Modules/posixmodule.c: some more NT changes

	* Doc/libtime.tex: get rid of references to millitime() and
	millisleep(); document clock()

Mon Aug 22 10:53:59 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Lib/linecache.py: don't crash on empty filename

	* Lib/macpath.py: don't return trailing colon for dirname()
	(XXX won't do for volume names -- but otherwise glob(':*:*.py')
	loops forever)

	* Lib/traceback.py: print SyntaxError correctly

	* Modules/signalmodule.c: added pause().

	* Python/pythonrun.c (print_error): added INCREF/DECREF pair --
	the exception returned by a syntax error (when reported) would
	contain an object with refcnt zero!

Fri Aug 19 15:35:44 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* */Makefile*.in: remove lib*.a before adding to it

	* Lib/urllib.py: fix caching bug (by disabling the cache)

	* Lib/sgi/flp.py: fix caching bug (always write the whole file to
	the cache!)

	* Doc/ref6.tex (section{Assignment statements}): added warning
	about overlaps in lhs of assignment (e.g. "i, x[i] = 1, 2")

	* Python/errors.c (err_clear): clear interpreter stack trace

Wed Aug 17 16:10:07 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Moved patchlevel.h from Python/ to Include/, moved all code from
	version.c to config.c and removed version.c, and changed
	Modules/Makefile(.pre.in) to add dependencies on $(MYLIBS) for
	config.c (so the date in the version is always current).  Also
	changed the format of PATCHLEVEL: it is now a string containing
	the complete version number, e.g. "1.1".

	* Grammar/Grammar: Added #diagram:... comments for Kees Blom's
	railroad diagram generator

	* Doc/libstring.tex (section{Standard Module \sectcode{string}}):
	removed references to {ato{f,i,l},index}_error

	* Lib/string.py: find/rfind is now the main implementation and
	index/rindex is a wrapper that raises index_error (which is now
	always ValueError)

	* Modules/stropmodule.c: implement find/rfind instead of
	index/rindex (raising and catching an exception is much more
	expensive than returning and testing -1)

	* Lib/os.py: do fake "import posix" for freeze.py script

Tue Aug 16 23:58:30 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Parser/parsetok.c (parsetok): don't call strncpy(str, NULL, 0)

	* Doc/libfuncs.tex (section{Built-in Functions}): added docs for
	delattr()

	* Python/bltinmodule.c: added delattr(x, 'attr'), equivalent to
	del x.attr

Fri Aug 12 15:00:20 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Doc/libfuncs.tex: don't use $math$ in description of pow(x,y,z);
	describe tuple()

	* Doc/libposixfile.tex: use tableiii instead of tableii, so
	partparse will work again (I know, chicken!)

	* Doc/libthread.tex: Added get_ident(); updated text on module
	availability

	* Doc/myformat.perl: Added sub do_cmd_Cpp

	* Python/compile.c (com_argdefs, com_arglist): avoid referencing
	CHILD(n,i) for i >= NCH(n)

	* Python/bltinmodule.c: added tuple() builtin

Thu Aug 11 16:41:14 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Objects/classobject.c, Include/classobject.h: added __getattr__
	and __setattr__ support to override getattr(x, name) and
	setattr(x, name, value) for class instances.  This uses a special
	hack whereby the class is supposed to be static: the __getattr__
	and __setattr__ methods are looked up only once and saved in the
	instance structure for speed.
	(Later rewritten to also support __delattr__ and to store the
	routines in the class instead of in the instance)

Wed Aug 10 13:42:29 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* configure.in, Makefile.in: remove the AC_PREFIX() call -- it's
	more trouble than it's worth at CWI and most other people seem to
	install Python in the default (/usr/local) anway.  Changed comment
	describing --prefix in Makefile.in

	* Lib/urllib.py (ftpcache): remove debug print statement

Tue Aug  9 14:32:45 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Objects/{int,long,float}object.c, Include/object.h,
	Python/bltinmodule.c: mods by Andrew Kuchling to implement
	pow(x,y,z) == pow(x,y)%z, but without incurring overflow

	* Python/import.c: if initializing a module did not enter the
	module into sys.modules, it may have raised an exception -- don't
	override this exception.

	* Include/rename1.h: added PyMethodDef and PyObject

Mon Aug  8 09:51:08 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Doc/{Makefile,*.tex}: Changes by Andrew Kuchling:

	  * Changed all occurrences of C++ to \Cpp{}, for nicely
	    formatting the + signs.
	  * Fixed typos, sentence structure in lots of places
	  * Added documentation for the rotor module
	  * Added a commented-out paragraph to libcrypto.tex that can be
	    added once the Python Cryptography Kit is released.
	  * Altered the table in libposixfile.tex a bit.
	  * Documented socket.gethostname()
	  * Started completely rewriting the Extending manual.

	* Modules/{Setup.in, gdbmmodule.c}, Doc/{lib,libgdbm}.tex: added
	Anthony Baxter's gdbm module (derived from Jack's dbm module)

	* BUGS: new file (merger of unofficial BUGS1.0.x files)

	* Modules/{Setup.in,Makefile.pre.in}: renamed some modules to
	shorter names (dropped the "module" from the name): sunaudiodev,
	imgformat, audioop, imageop, imgfile

	* Python/import.c: support *.o/*.so as alternative for
	*module.o/*module.so

	* Modules/stropmodule.c (strop_rindex): make rindex('abc', '') do
	the right thing (i.e. return 3 instead of 0)

	* Python/bltinmodule.c (builtin_vars): correct typo in error msg

	* Doc/libsocket.tex (subsection{Socket Object Methods}):
	documented gethostname() and a few misc things

	regex.match() result, and wrong logic in getfirstmatchingheader()
	when the same header occurs twice consecutively

	* Lib/test/test_types.py (6.4.1): test for particular bug in
	integer multiply

Sat Jul 30 13:31:40 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Doc/libsocket.tex, Modules/socketmodule.c: send() and sendto()
	now return actual byte count (useful for sockets in non-blocking
	mode)

Tue Jul 26 14:21:17 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* configure.in: check for <limits.h>

	* Objects/longobject.c (newlongobject): fix long(0x80000000) and
	add warning that it isn't actually correct on 64-bit machines;
	include <limits.h> if HAVE_LIMITS_H is defined

	* Objects/intobject.c (int_mul): check int*int overflow without
	resorting to double precision (many thanks to John Tromp)

	* Modules/signalmodule.c (signal_alarm): interface to Posix alarm()

	* Python/ceval.c (call_object): print message before abort()

Mon Jul 25 11:30:56 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Doc/libstring.tex (section{Standard Module \sectcode{string}}):
	documented string.count()

	* Lib/string.py: added count(s, sub, i=0), returns number of
	occurrences of sub in s[i:]

	* Doc/keywords.py: program to sort table of keywords in ref2.tex

	* Doc/ref2.tex (subsection{Keywords}): add 'access' and 'lambda'
	to list of reserved words

Thu Jul 14 15:26:14 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* README, Misc/NEWS, Python/patchlevel.h,
	Doc/{lib,ext,tut,ref}.tex: bump version to 1.0.3; in README, fewer
	references to it elsewhere, nor to IP numbers.

Wed Jul 13 18:51:36 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Lib/mhlib.py (removefromallsequences): call putsequences with
	proper argument

Mon Jul 11 13:00:36 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Modules/selectmodule.c: don't accept negative file descriptors;

	* Modules/syslogmodule.c: new module by Lance

	* configure.in: don't check for strtod!

	* Python/import.c: undo Mac DL mods (temporarily) and install NeXT
	dl mods by William Lewis instead.

	* Modules/posixmodule.c (posix_popen): substitute pclose for
	fclose (how did fclose ever creep into this?)

Wed Jul  6 21:45:54 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Lib/{bdb,cmd,pdb}.py: Mods by Rickard Westman: No longer barfs
	on lambda:s (outputs "<lambda>" as the function name); "a(rgs)" in
	pdb now works; help messages added to pdb (lifted from pdb.doc).
	Also, "h pdb" calls pdb.help().  cmd.do_help() displays topics on
	a nicer way (I think).  Also, topics for which there is a help_
	method, but no do_method (like "pdb" above) are displayed in a
	special way.  My own mod: fix break on function to also support
	methods.

Tue Jul  5 23:18:16 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Modules/stropmodule.c (strop_rindex): change semantics of third
	argument -- as in the original string.rindex, search to its right,
	not to its left.  (Maybe both index and rindex need a 4th
	parameter to restrict the search on the other end?

Mon Jul  4 23:01:36 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Modules/timemodule.c (sleep, floatsleep): don't use setjmp or
	signal, rely on err_errno() or sigcheck() instead.

	* Dos/{pcmodule,dosmodule}.c, Modules/posixmodule.c: don't include
	<setjmp.h>

Sat Jul  2 00:42:47 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Lib/urllib.py: implemented new quoting rules; added splituser,
	splitpasswd, splitattr, splitvalue; new ftp syntax (user:passwd,
	cwd to each subdir, type={a,i,d})

Fri Jul  1 17:32:51 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Python/traceback.c: add function name to traceback info

	* Object/listobject.c, Modules/{array,mpz}module.c: include
	<sys/types.h> for size_t

	\label{types}): fix typo

	* Lib/packmail.py: applied patch from Lance to remove '.' and '..'

Tue Jun 28 00:57:35 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Doc/ref1.tex: grammar notation can use single or double quotes now

	* configure.in (termcap): hack around conflict about clear() on
	IRIX 5 in shared libraries gl and termcap

	* Python/bltinmodule.c: added callable() predicate

Wed May 18 15:01:13 1994  Donald Beaudry  (don@zippy.vicorp.com)

	* modsupport.c (do_arg): Changed all of the int getting things to
	just try to get and int, instead of explicitly checking for an int
	first.

	(do_arg): Added the "O&" option to allow using a user supplied
	conversion function. 

Wed May 18 14:10:49 1994  Donald Beaudry  (don@zippy.vicorp.com)

	* intobject.c (getintvalue): Changed to allow automatic conversion
	from any type that supports the nb_int method.

	* floatobject.c (getfloatvalue): Changed to allow automatic
	conversion from any numeric type that supports the nb_float
	method.

Wed May  4 22:56:15 1994  Donald Beaudry  (don@scooter.vicorp.com)

	* object.h -- Added tp_call member to the typeobject struct
	This along with a minor change to the ceval.c allows overloading
	of the function call operator for any class.

Wed May  4 22:23:48 1994  Donald Beaudry  (don@scooter.vicorp.com)

	* modsupport.c -- replace the part of getargs that processes "O!",
	it had a minor problem with comparing the types.

	* ceval.c -- changed call_object to make use of the tp_call
	field.

Fri Jun 27 17:22:00 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Python/pythonmain.c: On MPW (3.2) unbuffered seems to hang, so
	use setvbuf ... _IOLBF for -u option.

	* Python/mystrtoul.c: MPW hack (overflow check doesn't seem to work)

Thu Jun 23 14:46:34 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Modules/Makefile.pre.in (clobber): delete config.c and glmodule.c

Thu Jun 23 00:17:16 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Parser/tokenizer.c: if a triple-quoted string ends in a quote
	followed by a newline (followed immediately by the terminating 3
	quotes) then a syntax error or system error ensues (one-line fix)

	* Doc/ref4.tex: clarify that global name space is almost always
	containing module's name space

	* Lib/profile.{py,doc}: totally new versions by James Roskind;
	also edited source & doc to replace 'jprofile' by 'profile'

	* Modules/posixmodule.c: don't mess with SIGPIPE any more -- this
	is now done in Python/pythonrun.c (saves NT dependency here)

	* Modules/Setup.*: removed all except Setup.in (keeping them up to
	date was too much of a pain)

	* Python/import.c: don't rely on three-line "dl.h", just copy the
	contents.

	* Doc/libtypes.tex (subsubsection{More String Operations.}):
	clarified tuple vs non-tuple argument to format strings.

Wed Jun 22 10:38:22 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	hack; removed debug fprintfs; added two needed #includes.

Mon Jun 20 23:46:04 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Objects/fileobject.c (file_read): test for negative read count
	was misplaced.

	* Python/compile.c (parsenumber), Python/marshal.c (r_object):
	replace strtod() by atof()

Tue Jun  7 11:41:05 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Doc/lib.tex: added warning about lineii, libposixfile and partparse

	* Lib/bdb.py (clear_all_breaks): this was defined with two
	arguments that weren't used and shouldn't have been there

Mon Jun  6 14:53:05 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Python/ceval.c (call_trace): Added call to fast_2_locals so
	locals_2_fast won't zap locals if the trace function never looks

	* Lib/profile.py: unspecified improvements by Sjoerd

	* Lib/{bdb,pwd,stdwin/wdb}.py: remove debugger overhead when
	continuing with no breakpoints; add set_trace() method and
	functions to forcibly enter the debugger

	* Python/ceval.c(eval_code): give the name of the local variable
	when LOAD_FAST or DELETE_FAST fails

	* frameobject.[ch], ceval.c: made fast_2_locals and locals_2_fast
	global and moved them to frameobject.c.  getattr(f, "f_locals")

Thu Jun  2 13:50:11 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Python/ceval.c (call_trace): *p_trace can now be cleared by the

	use std macros for output; require autoconf 1.8

	* Python/sigcheck.c: sigcheck() for use without signalmodule.c

	* Modules/signalmodule.c: added thread compatibility (only main
	thread uses signals); much improved efficiency; intrcheck()
	doesn't call sigcheck() but only tests and clears the SIGINT

	* Lots of places: replace intrcheck() by sigcheck() and remove
	following err_set(KeyboardInterrupt).

Wed Jun  1 11:33:34 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Modules/regexmodule.c (reg_dealloc): remove bogus XDEL's.

	* Python/import.c: bump MAGIC because of changes below

	* Python/{ceval,compile}.c, Include/frameobject.h: changes to code
	objects -- consts/names are tuples, RESERVE_LOCALS instruction
	gets tuple of names instead of dictionary -- so code objects are
	immutable and thus code and function objects are hashable

	* Objects/listobject.c, Include/listobject.h: added listtuple() --
	convert list to tuple

Tue May 17 15:40:12 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Python/ceval.c (getframe): cast current_frame to (object *)

	* Parser/intrcheck.c, Python/ceval.c, Include/ceval.h,
	Python/pythonrun.c: prepare for signalmodule.c; add sigcheck()
	interface to intrcheck.c, add getframe() interface to ceval.c;
	don't override signal handlers in pythonrun.c

Tue May 10 09:01:06 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Python/import.c (get_module): print dlopen debug message only of
	verbose

	* acconfig.h: added _POSIX_THREADS define

	* configure.in: test for -lpthreads; add directory argument to
	--with-thread to LIBS as -L option

	* Python/thread.c: split in per-system files (thread.c includes
	thread_foobar.h for foobar threads)

	* Objects/stringobject.c (formatstring): don't DECREF result of
	strobject() before using it

	* Doc/libtypes.tex: fix typo in table of list methods; clarify
	truncation behavior of floating point formatting

	* Doc/ref3.tex: clarify defaults for __repr__, __cmp__ and

	* Python/bltinmodule.c, Include/bltinmodule.h: new fn setbuiltin()
	to set a built-in variable

	* Python/ceval.c (eval_code): place '_' variable in __builtin__
	instead of in local dictionary, to avoid endless recursion when
	printing vars()

	exception (other exceptions are still errors).  This affects the
	semantics of the following language constructs: "for x in a: ...",
	"x in a", "x not in a", and the following built-in functions:

Wed Feb 23 10:15:28 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Modules/parsermodule.c (parser_parsefile): fix fatal typo in

	systems declare it 'static' since at least Microsoft C still puts
	the auto variable in a register causing a bug...  Also implement
	the MSDOS version of floatsleep() using a busy-wait loop calling
	intrcheck()

	* Modules/posixmodule.c: include mytime.h (for clock_t on NeXT)

	* acconfig.h: add entry for 'signed' keyword

	* configure.in: remove const from check for exec prototypes; add

	of string into return argument)

	* Objects/rangeobject.c (range_repr): repr must use "xrange..."

Wed Feb  2 12:28:04 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Modules/flmodule.c: make type objects static

	* Modules/almodule.c: make type objects static

	* Makefile.in: add rule to build Makefile; add VPATH for that;
	remove dependency on configure script (you can run 'make autoconf'
	instead); add Lib/test to path for test target;

	* Lib/test: new subdirectory, holds all test modules

Wed Jan 12 10:17:41 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* acconfig.h: added HAVE_ALTZONE

	* configure.in: test for altzone; check for working

	* Many modules and objects: use 'staticforward' where needed

	* Include/object.h: added #define 'staticforward' as either static
	or extern depending on BAD_STATIC_FORWARD

	* acconfig.h: added BAD_STATIC_FORWARD

	* configure.in: added test for bad static forward

Mon Jan 10 10:35:21 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Modules/md5module.c: SCO ODT 3.0 dependent fix

	* Objects/xxobject.c: quote size fields as tp_basicsize instead of
	(incorrectly) tp_size

	* Objects/listobject.c (cmp): arguments must be const!!!

	* Modules/imageopmodule.c: another attempt at casting away
	warnings about changed semantics in ANSI C

	* configure.in: added --with-libc=... and --with-libm=...

	* Modules/Makefile.pre.in: Remove dependency of Setup on Setup.in,
	so it is only copied when Setup does not exist at all; add
	prefix=/usr/local so Setup can base default path on --prefix
	option to toplevel configure script

	* Modules/Setup.in: clarified build procedure in comments; don't
	include GNN's timing module by default; use $(prefix) instead
	requiring manual edit of DESTDIR

	* Makefile.in: replace DESTDIR by prefix and exec_prefix and
	updated affected targets; added inclinstall and libainstall
	targets

	* Objects/accessobject.c: removed (???) from comment to avoid

	* Parser/intrcheck.c: Make sure <MacHeaders> is included before
	any other include file

	* Modules/audioopmodule.c: include math.h after allobjects.h (so
	the latter can be a precompiled header file on the Mac)

Wed Jan  5 15:34:26 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@poseidon.cwi.nl)

	* Python/pythonrun.c (sighandler): only call kill(getpid()) if
	getpid() exists; otherwise call exit(1)

========================================================================
Release of 1.0.0 BETA 3 (Jan 5 1994)
========================================================================

Wed Jan  5 00:18:45 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* {Parser,Objects,Python,Makefile}/Makefile*in: made depend target
	work with VPATH

	* README: describe new build procedure; added section on building
	for multiple architectures

	* acconfig.h: fix (reversed!) comment for SYS_SELECT_WITH_SYS_TIME

	* Modules/Makefile.pre.in: copy Setup from $(srcdir) if not
	present, and use local Setup as input for makesetup script

Tue Jan  4 12:32:16 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	* Note that there are no functional changes below -- just changes
	to the build process and changes to avoid compiler warnings

	* Modules/Setup: disable nis as well by default, change the
	pertaining comments, and change the comments about the multimedia
	modules to be default on

	* fixed all warnings about function pointer initializations, and
	miscellanous other warnings (e.g. about extern forward references
	to static variables); touched random bits of code as a consequence

	* changed configuration process and Makefiles to support VPATH;
	for this, config.h(.in) now lives to the toplevel directory, the
	toplevel Makefile is now created by configure as well, and various
	improvements to it have been made (e.g. working tags and TAGS
	targets), the makesetup script follows configure instead of
	preceding it, it understands srcdir and has an exception for
	glmodule.c, the intermediate file is called Makefile.pre, the
	Makefiles don't use TOP any more and are much more careful about
	the difference between .. and the toplevel directory, and I've
	improved my understanding of how configure handles srcdir

	* Modules/threadmodule.c: refuse to compile when WITH_THREAD is not
	defined

	* configure.in, acconfig.h, config.h.in, Include/ceval.h,
	Modules/{stdwin,thread}module.c, Python/{ceval,pythonrun}.c:
	renamed USE_THREAD to WITH_THREAD

	* configure.in: add AC_PROG_INSTALL

	* README, Python/version.c: version set to 1.0.0 BETA 3

	* Demo, Include, Lib: added Makefile with clean/clobber targets

	* README: added remarks on --with-svr4; unnumber special cases

	* configure.in: only look for -lnsl and -lsocket if --with-svr4 is
	specified, to avoid linking with them on IRIX 5

Release of 1.0.0 BETA 2 (Jan 3 1994)
========================================================================

Mon Jan  3 22:21:24 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

	by picky compilers about unsigned % signed

	* README: added a section on building it for non-UNIX systems

	* Makefile (configure): call autoheader when calling autoconf

	* Include/config.h.in: now generated by autoheader

	* acconfig.h: new file (input for autoheader)

	* configure.in: added AC_REVISION call to top

	* Modules/flmodule.c (form_setattr): one NULL should be 0

	* Include/myselect.h: this now implies mytime.h and attempts to
	work around systems where sys/select.h and sys/time.h can't be
	included together

	* Modules/socketmodule.c, Doc/libsocket.tex: remove socket avail()
	method -- you can use select instead

	* Modules/Setup: disable dbm, it is not truly portable

	* Lib/sunau.py: incorporate one-line fix by Sjoerd

	* Include/pgenheaders.h: include <stdlib.h> if its symbol
	defined, not just on the mac

	* Include/grammar.h: remove redundant structure tags

	* Include/cgensupport.h: avoid possible macro argument
	substitution inside string literal

	* configure.in, Include/config.h.in: add test whether sys/select.h
	and sys/times.h can be included by the same program

	* Include/config.h.in: add lines for HAVE_SYS_UN_H and
	HAVE_GETPEERNAME

	* Extensions/mkext.py: copy change in library order from
	Modules/Makefile.in.in

	* Modules/Makefile.in.in: change library order subtly so -ltermcap
	follows instead of precedes -lgl_s on SGI systems; this solves
	(hides?) problems with clashing entry points

	* configure.in: added sys/un.h to list of tested header files;
	added getpeername to list of tested functions (both for
	Modules/socketmodule.c)

	explanation to some options, add description of ChangeLog, add
	wuarchive.wustl.edu to list of mirror sites

	* Modules/socketmodule.c: make AF_UNIX code dependent on existence
	of AF_UNIX (SCO ODT 3.0 doesn't support it -- let's hope it
	doesn't define the symbol either)

	* Makefile: attempt to fix install targets (added separate
	libinstall and maninstall)

	* Doc/libregex.tex: documented Tracy Tims' changes

	* Modules/regexpr.c: redid Tracy Tims' changes to minimize diffs
	(only two added lines now)

	* Modules/regexmodule.c: fix core dump when asking a plain regex
	object for a named group

	mods for named subexpressions

	* Include/regexpr.h: moved to Modules/regexpr.h

	* Modules/timingmodule.c: change tests for no arguments

	* configure.in: remove strtoul from AC_REPLACE_FUNCS; remove
	initial blank line (which got copied into configure so it wouldn't
	start with #!/bin/sh as required)

	* Python/compile.c: call mystrto(u)l instrad of strto(u)l

	* Python/Makefile.in: add mystrtoul.c to OBJS

	* Python/mystrtoul.c: renamed from strtol.c; renamed functions to
	mystrto(u)l; this is now a standard source file (since some
	systems have a strto(u)l that doesn't report errors properly)

	* Modules/{timing.h,timingmodule.c}: new files implementing GNN's
	timing module
