-	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:	Rewrote TclpFindExecutable() to use
-	* win/tclWinFile.c:	TclSetObjNameOfExecutable to store the
-	executable name it computes.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	Added internal stub entries for
-	* generic/tclInt.decls: TclpFindExecutable and
-	Tcl(Get|Set)ObjNameOfExecutable.
-
-	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:	make genstubs
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
-
-	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:	Retrieve executable name in Tcl_Obj form
-	* win/tclWinPipe.c:	instead of string form.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixTest.c:	Update [testfindexecutable] command to use
-	new internal interfaces.
-
-	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	Moved TclpSetInitialEncodings()
-	call from Tcl_FindExecutable() into TclInitEncodingSubsystem().
-	This is important on Windows where it establishes whether the
-	"ascii" or "unicode" set of system routines will be used, and
-	that needs to be done earlier to support filesystem operations.

-2004-12-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* tests/winDde.test: Rewritten to use tcltest2 features more
-	thoroughly (reducing the [catch] count!) and fix the problem with
-	winDde-6.1 being out of synch with the implementation.
-
-2004-11-30  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* library/init.tcl ([unknown]):	Restored the save/restore of
-	the variables ::errorCode and ::errorInfo.  This is needed when
-	the [::bgerror] command is auto-loaded (as it is by Tk).
-
-	Patch 976520 reworks several of the details involved with
-	startup/initialization of the Tcl library, focused on the
-	activities of Tcl_FindExecutable().
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c:	Removed bogus claim in comment that
-	encoding "iso8859-1" is "built-in" to Tcl.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	Created a new struct ProcessGlobalValue,
-	* generic/tclUtil.c:	routines Tcl(Get|Set)ProcessGlobalValue,
-	and function type TclInitProcessGlobalValueProc.  Together, these
-	take care of the housekeeping for "values" (things that can be
-	held in a Tcl_Obj) that are global across a whole process.  That is,
-	they are shared among multiple threads, and epoch and mutex
-	protection must govern the validity of cached copies maintained
-	in each thread.
-
-	* generic/tclNotify.c:	Modified TclInitNotifier() to tolerate
-	being called multiple times in the same thread.
-
-	* generic/tclEvent.c:	Dropped the unused argv0 argument to
-	TclInitSubsystems().  Removed machinery to unsure only one
-	TclInitNotifier() call per thread, now that that is safe.
-	Converted Tcl(Get|Set)LibraryPath to use a ProcessGlobalValue,
-	and moved them to tclEncoding.c.
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Updated caller.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	TclpFindExecutable now returns void.
-	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
-	* win/tclWinFile.c:
-	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
-
-	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Built new encoding search initialization
-	on a foundation of ProcessGlobalValues, exposing new routines
-	Tcl(Get|Set)EncodingSearchPath.	 A cache of a map from encoding name
-	to directory pathname keeps track of where encodings are available
-	for loading.  Tcl_FindExecutable greatly simplified into just
-	three function calls.  The "library path" is now misnamed, as its
-	only remaining purpose is as a foundation for the default encoding
-	search path.
-
-	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Inlined the initScript that is evaluated
-	by Tcl_Init().	Added verification after initScript evaluation
-	that Tcl can find its installed *.enc files, and that it has
-	initialized [encoding system] in agreement with what the environment
-	expects.  [tclInit] no longer driven by the value of $::tcl_libPath;
-	it largely constructs its own search path now, rather than attempt
-	to share one with the encoding system.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	TclpSetInitialEncodings factored so that a new
-	* win/tclWinInit.c:	routine TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment
-	can reveal that Tcl thinks the [encoding system] should be, even
-	when an incomplete encoding search path, or a missing *.enc file
-	won't allow that initialization to succeed.  TclpInitLibraryPath
-	reworked as an initializer of a ProcessGlobalValue.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixTest.c:	Update implementations of [testfindexecutable],
-	[testgetdefenc], and [testsetdefenc].
-
-	* tests/unixInit.test:	Corrected tests to operate properly even
-	when a value of TCL_LIBRARY is required to find encodings.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.decls:	New internal stubs: TclGetEncodingSearchPath,
-	TclSetEncodingSearchPath, TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment.  These
-	are candidates for public exposure by future TIPs.
-
-	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:	make genstubs
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
-
-	* generic/tclTest.c:	Updated [testencoding] to use
-	* tests/encoding.test:	Tcl(Get|Set)EncodingSearchPath.	 Updated tests.

-
-	* library/clock.tcl: Corrected the regular expressions that match
-	a time zone to allow for time zones specified as +HH or -HH.
-	* tests/clock.test: Added regression test case for the above issue.

-2004-11-29  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Brought entry '2004-10-26
-	  Don Porter (Tcl Modules)' into the windows world, actually the
-	  win/configure buildsystem. The other windows buildsystems (.vc,
-	  .bc) still have to be updated as well.
-
-2004-11-26  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* win/tclWinDde.c (ExecuteRemoteObject): Removed bogus semicolon
-	  found at the end of the header for the function definition,
-	  terminating it early and preventing a compile. This is likely a
-	  fix for '2004-11-25 Donal'. I have to conclude that it is also
-	  unknown if the other changes to this file actually pass the
-	  testsuite. Running testsuite ... They don't. winDde-6.1
-	  fails. This is only a message discrepance, i.e. not too
-	  bad. Leaving resolution of that to Pat and Donal.

-
-2004-11-26  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* unix/configure.in: Simplify the code to check for correctness of
-	strstr, strtoul and strtod.
-	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_TCL_CHECK_BROKEN_FUNC): Split a complex stanza
-	out of configure.in into its own function. Also force it to do the
-	right thing with cacheing of results of AC_TRY_RUN to deal with
-	issue raised in [Patch 1073524]
-
-	* doc/foreach.n: Added simple example. [FRQ 1073334]
-
-2004-11-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProc):	    Make it so that only
-	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs): [proc] instances do
-	* tests/indexObj.test (indexObj-5.7):	    quoting of their first
-	arguments, so keeping [Bug 942757] fixed and making [Bug 1066837]
-	be fixed as well. Done with a load of #ifdef-ery because this hack
-	is so ugly nobody should keep it around once Itcl's fixed.
-
-2004-11-25  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
-
-	* tests/tcltest.test: The order in which [glob] returns the file

-2004-11-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* doc/dde.n: Synchronized the documentation of the commands with
-	the header of the docs and what the package actually does. Thanks
-	to Andreas Kupries for spotting this.
-	* win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Much cleanup of argument
-	parsing code.
-
-2004-11-24  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* generic/tclPort.h: Relative include of tclWinPort.h returned
-	as it was requiring me set -I$(tcl_root)/win for my extensions
-	that need to include tclInt.h and doesn't appear to serve any
-	purpose for windows builds.
-
-2004-11-24  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Corrected bad check for
-	3-argument readdir_r [Bug 1001325].
-	* unix/configure: Regenerated.
-	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: Corrected all uses of 'select' to
-	manage their masks using the FD_CLR, FD_ISSET, FD_SET, and
-	FD_ZERO macros rather than bit-whacking that failed under
-	Solaris-Sparc-64.  [Bug 1071807]
-	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Removed unused
-	vars 'pathc' and 'pathv' that caused compilation problems
-	on VC++ with --enable-symbols.
-
-2004-11-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS):	Corrected failure to determine

-
-	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.57
-
-	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoVarsCmd):	Corrected segfault in new

-2004-11-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* tools/man2html.tcl, tools/man2html1.tcl: Update to use Tcl 8.4.
-	* tools/man2html2.tcl: Fix broken .SS handling.
-
-2004-11-23  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* unix/Makefile.in: Add (commented-out) code to integrate tclConfig.h
-	into the dependency tree and 'make distclean'. [Bug 1068171]
-
-	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_AppendResultVA): Remove call to
-	Tcl_GetStringResult to speed up repeated calls to Tcl_AppendResult
-	with the side effect that code that wants to access interp->result
-	should always call Tcl_GetStringResult first. See [Patch 1041072]

-2004-11-22  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

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

-	on Tcl's interface can be assessed.
-
-	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.57
-
-	* generic/tcl.h:	Moved the #include "tclConfig.h" out of

-2004-11-12  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tcl.h:

-2004-11-11  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* tests/fCmd.test:
-	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TraverseUnixTree): added option to rewind()
-	the readdir() loop whenever the source hierarchy has been modified
-	by traverseProc (e.g. by deleting files); this is required to ensure
-	complete traversal of the source hierarchy on certain filesystems
-	like HFS+. Added test for failing recursive delete on Mac OS X that
-	was due to this. [Bug 1034337]
-
-	* generic/tclListObj.c (Tcl_ListObjReplace): use memmove() instead
-	of manual copy loop to shift list elements. Decreases time spent in
-	Tcl_ListObjReplace() from 5.2% to 1.7% of overall runtime of
-	tclbench on a ppc 7455 (i.e. 200% speed increase). [Patch 1064243]
-
-	* generic/tclHash.c: hoisted some constant pointer dereferences out
-	of loops to eliminate redundant loads that the gcc optimizer didn't
-	deal with. Decreases time spend in Tcl_FindHashEntry() by 10% over a
-	full run of the tcl testuite on a ppc 7455. [Patch 1064243]

-
-	* win/tclWinPipe.c: The pipe channel driver now respects
-	the -blocking option when closing is the same way the UNIX
-	side works.  This is to avoid a hung shell when exiting due
-	to open pipes that refuse to close in a graceful manner.
-	* doc/open.n: Added a note about -blocking 0 and lack of
-	exit status as it had never been documented. [Bug 947693]
-
-	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
-
-	Scripts that use async pipes on windows, must (like the
-	UNIX side) set -blocking to 1 before calling [close] to
-	receive the exit status.

-2004-11-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* tests/winFile.test: added contraint to winFile-4.0 to prevent
-	it being run on NT4 [Bug 981829]
-
-2004-11-05  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* tests/reg.test: Major reorganization so that this file is much
-	easier for a normal Tcl maintainer to comprehend.  The test flags
-	are still very cryptic, but they appear to have to be that way.
-	The number of skipped tests has increased, but now the skipped
-	tests have much more meaningful content.
-
-	* tests/tm.test (genpaths): Add a [file normalize] so we pick up
-	Windows drive letters, etc. [Bug 1053568]
-
-2004-11-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* changes:	Updates toward an 8.5a2 release.
-
-2004-11-03  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* library/clock.tcl (FreeScan): Fixed a bug where scanning
-	"Monday" with a base time other than midnight incorrectly carried
-	the base time forward.
-
-	* test/clock.test (clock-33.{5,5a}): Made the test failure more
-	informative.
-
-	* tests/clock.test (clock-34.{28,44,45,46}): Removed 'knownBug'
-	constraints from tests that no longer fail.
-
-	Thanks to Don Porter for reporting these.

-2004-11-03  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* generic/tcl.h:		Moved the preprocessor logic
-	* generic/tclDecls.h:		from tclInt.h of setting the
-	* generic/tclInt.h:		TCL_STORAGE_CLASS macro to the
-	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:	tcl*Decls.h files now that no
-	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:	use of EXTERN is left in tclInt.h.
-	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:	Proto for Tcl_Main moved in tcl.h
-	* win/tclWinPort.h:		to prior the inclusion of the Stubs
-	headers as they are now resetting TCL_STORAGE_CLASS.  Removed
-	extrainious reset from tclWinPort.h.  [Patch 1055668]
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.h: Removed	extrainious reset of
-	TCL_STORAGE_CLASS missed in my last edit.
-
-2004-11-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* library/init.tcl ([unknown]):	Corrections to the 2004-10-25 mods
-	to Aunt ??? in [unknown].  Flaws revealed by Itcl test suite, which
-	still apparently relies on this brokenness.  Also added comment
-	suggesting the error message that any code using this hack *ought*
-	to receive in reply.
-
-	* generic/tclTrace.c (TclCallVarTraces):  Improved ability to debug
-	* tests/incr-old.test (incr-old-2.6):	  errors during variable
-	* tests/incr.test (incr-{1,2}.28):	  traces by preserving the
-	* tests/set.test (set-{2,4}.4):		  -errorinfo data.
-	* tests/trace.test (trace-33.1):	  [Bug 527164]
-
-2004-11-02  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h: added a check for #ifdef __cplusplus around
-	the #define of MODULE_SCOPE.  About the only time it would be
-	problem is when someone is statically linking to Tcl and accessing
-	internals from a C++ file and has name mangling issues from the
-	lack of "C" after 'extern' [Patch 1055668].
-	* generic/tclCompile.h: Exchanged use of the EXTERN macro to the
-	new MODULE_SCOPE macro.	 Lowered exported internals count by 35.
-	[Patch 1055668]
-	* win/tclWinInt.h:
-	* win/tclWinPort.h: exported internals dropped by a count of 14.
-	* generic/tclFileSystem.h: Added use of MODULE_SCOPE on protos.
-	* generic/tclRegexp.h: manipulating TCL_STORAGE_CLASS unnecessary.
-
-2004-11-02  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:		Corrected some misleading
-	* tests/tcltest.test (tcltest-26.1,2):	displays of ::errorInfo and
-	::errorCode information when the -setup, -body, and/or -cleanup scripts
-	return an unexpected return code.  Thanks to Robert Seeger for the
-	fix. [RFE 1017151].
-
-2004-11-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Improved version of
-	the NaN fix from Miguel Sofer. [Bug 761471]
-
-2004-11-02  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* library/tzdata/America/Cuiaba: Change to DST rules for
-	* library/tzdata/America/Havana: autumn of 2004.
-	[ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2004g.tar.gz]
-
-	* tools/tclZIC.tcl: Updated to be compatible with recent
-	changes in library/clock.tcl.
-
-2004-11-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* win/tclWinFile.c: Simplify TclpUtime to use Tcl_FSGetNativePath,
-	and add comments.
-
-2004-11-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h: Change uses of EXTERN to MODULE_SCOPE (defined
-	in this file too to be 'extern' if not overridden) as nothing
-	declared in tclInt.h is supposed to be visible outside the Tcl
-	core. If there *is* anything that extensions are actually using,
-	we can open this up later on. [Patch 1055668]
-
-	* doc/CrtChannel.3 (Tcl_GetChannelMode): Add synopsis. [Bug 1058446]
-
-2004-11-01  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* win/tclWinFile.c (FromCTime, TclpUtime): Replaced a call to the
-	Posix 'utime' function with calls to Windows-API equivalents, to
-	avoid a bug where the VC++ versions misconvert times across a
-	Daylight Saving Time boundary.	[Bug 926106]
-	* win/tclWinInt.h (TclWinProcs):
-	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (asciiProcs, unicodeProcs): Removed now-unused
-	reference to 'utime'.
-	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-24.12): Added test case for the
-	above bug.
-
-2004-11-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Make INST_EQ and
-	friends handle NaN correctly in all cases. [Bug 761471]
-
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceInscopeCmd): Make the error
-	message generation the same as in NamespaceEvalCmd().
-	(Tcl_Import): Rationalized to use Tcl_EvalObjv().
-
-2004-10-31  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* tests/io.test (io-40.3): Convert umask2 test constraint into a
-	form that most people will be able to satisfy.
-
-	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-8.45): Removed broken test constraint.
-	It didn't do what it was intended to do, and it implied the other
-	correct constraint. [Bug 1053908]
-
-	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoGlobalsCmd):
-	* tests/info.test (info-8.4): Strip leading global-namespace
-	specifiers from the pattern argument. [Bug 1057461]
-
-2004-10-30  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/clock.c: Replaced WIN32 macro with __WIN32__.
-	[Bug 1054357].	Thanks to David Gravereaux for the patch.
-	* win/tclWinFile.c: Removed a long-standing bug that causes
-	incorrect conversion between file time and UTC time if
-	the file time is recorded in a different Daylight Saving Time
-	status than the current one. [Bug 926106]
-
-2004-10-29  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Correct reaction to errors in the
-	obsolete processCmdLineArgsHook.	[Bug 1055673]
-	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:	Bump to tcltest 2.2.7
-	* unix/Makefile.in:
-	* tests/all.tcl:	Update to use [tcltest::configure].
-
-2004-10-29  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::*): Use the core proc engine to
-	generate the wrong-num-args error messages for the path ensemble.
-
-	Ensembles can now (sometimes) rewrite the error messages of their
-	subcommands so they appear more like the arguments that the user
-	passed to the ensemble. Below is a description of changes involved
-	in doing this.
-
-	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-50.*): Tests of ensemble
-	subcommand error message rewriting.
-	* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProc): Make procedures implement
-	their wrong-num-args message using Tcl_WrongNumArgs instead of
-	something baked-at-home.
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclIsEnsemble, NsEnsembleImplementationCmd):
-	Added test of ensemble-hood (available to rest of core) and made
-	ensembles set up the rewriting for Tcl_WrongNumArgs to take
-	advantage of.
-	* generic/tclInt.h (Interp.ensembleRewrite): Extra fields.
-	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs): Add knowledge of what
-	is going on in ensembles' command rewriting so this command can
-	generate the right error message itself.
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp, TclEvalObjvInternal):
-	Added code to initialize (as empty) the rewriting fields and reset
-	them when we leak outside an ensemble implementation.
-
-2004-10-28  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_START_CMD):
-	* tests/execute.test (execute-8.3): fix for execution stack
-	corruption [Bug 1055676]. Credit dgp for detective work and fix.
-
-2004-10-27  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* tests/socket.test (socket-13.1):	Balanced [makeFile] and
-	[removeFile] commands.
-
-	* tests/clock.test:	Correct duplicate test names.
-	* tests/namespace.test:
-	* tests/string.test:
-	* tests/io.test (io-50.4):	Use namespace variables.
-
-2004-10-27  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* generic/tclInt.decls:	  The following 9 functions were moved from
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	  tclInt.h to the private/int Stubs table for
-	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:  use by the test suite.  As tclTest.obj is
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c:  linked to the shell, these functions need
-	"blessed" status so as to always be exported from the library. Being
-	placed in the Stubs table guarantees this [Bug 1054748]:
-		TclpObjRemoveDirectory,	TclpObjCopyDirectory,
-		TclpObjCreateDirectory,	TclpObjDeleteFile,
-		TclpObjCopyFile,	TclpObjRenameFile,
-		TclpObjStat,		TclpObjAccess,
-		TclpOpenFileChannel
-
-	* tests/registry.test:	Fixed test files to load the correct
-	* tests/winDde.test:	registry and dde packages by using the info
-	* win/Makefile.in:	from makefiles to tell tcltest where to load
-	* win/makefile.vc:	them from.  This avoids grabbing the wrong
-	package from $auto_path which might be the install point rather than
-	the dev location.  Kudos to Jennifer Hom for adding -load and
-	-loadfile to the tcltest package. [Bug 926088]
-
-	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclFinalizeLock): release the critical section
-	before deleting it. [Bug 731778]
-
-	* generic/tcl.h: Removed the file level 'extern "C" {' and the
-	coresponding closing block as it serves no purpose given that all
-	the function prototypes have the proper extern usage already.
-
-	* unix/tclAppInit.c:	When built as tcltest, TclThread_Init was
-	* win/tclAppInit.c:	getting called twice.  First by
-	Tcltest_Init, then again in Tcl_AppInit.  The call from Tcl_AppInit
-	is now removed.
-
-2004-10-27  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* tests/tm.test:  Expanded on the testsuite entered by Donal.
-	* library/tm.tcl: Even found bugs, these have been corrected.
-
-2004-10-26  Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* tests/format.test (format-19.1): Additional regression test for
-					   Bug 868489.
-
-2004-10-27  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* doc/*.n: Many small general documentation fixes.
-
-2004-10-26  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCleanupChildren): bad cast of resolvedPid
-	caused PIDs on win95 to go negative.  winpipe-4.2 brought this to
-	the surface.  Fixed with sprintf in place of TclFormatInt.  Thanks
-	to hgiese [Patch 767676]
-
-2004-10-26  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::Defaults): Added a second [file
-	  dirname] around the location of the executable. This fixes [Tcl
-	  SF Bug 1038705]. Instable of a bogus "foo/bin/lib" we now have
-	  the correct "foo/lib" as a base path for modules.
-
-2004-10-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_SubstObj):	Fix for failed subst-12.3 test.
-	* tests/subst.test (subst-12.3-5):	More tests for Bug 1036649.
-
-	* unix/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Updated the installation
-	of the http, msgcat, and tcltest packages to install as Tcl Modules
-	on Unix systems.  Other platform Makefiles still need updating.
-	[Patch 1054370]
-
-	* tests/basic.test:	Added missing constraints.
-	* tests/compile.test:
-	* tests/fileSystem.test:
-
-	* tests/init.test (init-2.8):	Updated to not rely on http package.
-
-2004-10-26  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h:
-	* generic/tclVar.c: removed more direct references to the VAR
-	flags, replaced with access macros.
-
-2004-10-26  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* doc/expr.n: Clarified that non-num/non-bool literals require
-	quoting. [Bug 1027849]. Also listed booleans as acceptable values.
-
-2004-10-26  Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* library/clock.tcl (FreeScan): Fixed a bug that caused relative
-	days of the week in free-form [clock scan] to be evaluated in the
-	wrong time zone.
-	* tests/clock.test (clock-31.[456]): Made sure that there
-	isn't an env(TZ) or env(TCL_TZ) lying around that will
-	override the time zone that we're trying to establish with
-	the simulated registry.
-	Both problems reported as [Bug 1054101].
-
-2004-10-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* doc/string.n (map): Rewrote to clarify that we don't just map
-	single characters. [Bug 1048005]
-	* doc/info.n (procs): Clarified that the pattern argument may have
-	namespace separators in it. [Bug 1047928]
-
-	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-8.45): Simplify in the hope that the
-	reasons for [Bug 1053908] will become clearer.
-
-2004-10-25  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (IllegalExprOperandType,TclExecuteByteCode):
-	Removed several DECACHE_INFO/CACHE_INFO pairs that are no longer
-	needed for protection because routines like Tcl_SetErrorCode() and
-	Tcl_AddErrorInfo() can no longer re-enter bytecode execution.
-
-	* generic/tclResult.c (TclProcessReturn): Bug fix.  Be sure that
-	a missing -errorinfo option when code == TCL_ERROR causes the
-	errorInfo field to get reset.
-
-	* tests/thread.test (thread-4.4): Test depended on a ::errorInfo
-	value initialized to "".  Added code to test to setup that requirement.
-
-	* library/auto.tcl	Purged Tcl's script library of all
-	* library/clock.tcl	remaining references to global vars
-	* library/init.tcl	::errorInfo and ::errorCode.
-
-	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main):	Updated to make use of
-	TclGetReturnOptions instead of ::errorInfo variable.
-
-	* generic/tclInterp.c (tclInit): Bug fix.  Access dict variables
-	with [dict get], not array syntax.
-
-2004-10-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* tests/tm.test: Rewrote the tests to actually perform syntax
-	checks on the public API. Added a new test (currently failing) to
-	indicate that the test suite is not complete yet.
-	* library/tm.tcl (path): Rewrote to turn this command into an
-	ensemble to make it faster and simpler.
-
-2004-10-24  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:
-	* generic/tclInt.h:
-	* generic/tclTrace.c: defined new macros to get/set the flags of
-	variables. The only files that still access the flag values
-	directly are tclCompCmds.c, tclCompile.c, tclProc.c and tclVar.c
-
-2004-10-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_LogCommandInfo,Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo):
-	Shift the initialization of errorCode to NONE to more central
-	location.
-
-	* generic/tclEvent.c (BgError,Tcl_BackgroundError,HandleBgErrors):
-	Rewrite to build on the new TclGet/SetReturnOptions routines.
-
-	* generic/tclResult.c (TclGetReturnOptions): Add call to
-	Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo to be sure error fields are initialized.
-
-	* generic/tclResult.c (TclTransferResult):
-	Rewrite to build on the new TclGet/SetReturnOptions routines.
-
-2004-10-22  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* doc/tm.n: Tightened up the documentation.
-	* tests/tm.test: Created (with partially dummy content) so TIP#189
-	can be marked Final.
-
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NsEnsembleImplementationCmd): Make
-	ensembles cut their implementations out of error traces. This is
-	the right thing to do more often than not.
-
-2004-10-22  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* library/clock.tcl: Fixed a typo where the fallback time zone
-	became ::localtime instead of :localtime.  Fixed a bug where
-	time zone names containing hyphens could not be loaded.
-	* tests/clock.test: Added regression test cases that covers
-	both bugs.
-	Thanks to Todd M. Helfter <tmh@jumpgate.itsp.purdue.edu> for
-	finding these bugs.
-
-2004-10-22  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj, Tcl_ExprObj):
-	* generic/tclProc.c (TclProcCompileProc): Always call object
-	freeIntRepProc's in the same way.
-
-2004-10-22  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclVar.c: fixed bug in commit of 2004-07-23, which was
-	causing a leak of Proc structures and failure of compile-12.1. Two
-	lines were 'zombies' from the previous way localVarNames
-	worked. Credit dgp for finding this.
-
-2004-10-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h (Interp):
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp,Tcl_DeleteInterp):
-	* generic/tclResult.c (GetKeys,ReleaseKeys,etc.):
-	Moved the key values of the return options dictionary out of
-	private fields of the Interp struct and into thread-static
-	values managed in tclResult.c.
-
-	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_CatchObjCmd, Tcl_ErrorObjCmd):
-	Updated to call the new TclGet/SetReturnOptions routines to do
-	much of their work.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h (TclGetReturnOptions,TclSetReturnOptions):
-	* generic/tclResult.c (TclGetReturnOptions,TclSetReturnOptions):
-	New utility routines to get/set the return options of an interp.
-	Intent is that these routines will be converted to public routines
-	after TIP approval.
-
-	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclProcessReturn,TclMergeReturnOptions):
-	* generic/tclResult.c (TclProcessReturn,TclMergeReturnOptions):
-	Move internal utility routines from tclCmdMZ.c to tclResult.c.
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp, Tcl_DeleteInterp):
-	* generic/tclResult.c (TclTransferResult):	Rework so that
-	iPtr->returnOpts can be NULL when there are no special options.
-
-	* generic/tclResult.c (TclRestoreInterpState):	Plug potential
-	memory leak.
-
-2004-10-21  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c: Various changes to [clock format] that,
-	* generic/tclClock.c: together, make it roughly twice as fast
-	* generic/tclInt.h:   while all tests in the test suite
-	* library/clock.tcl:  continue to pass.
-
-2004-10-20  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* win/Makefile.in (install-msgs):   Fixed a problem with the
-	* win/Makefile.in (install-tzdata): installation of timezone data
-	  and message catalogs. They used the installed tcl library
-	  directory, not the source library. Before it was installed.
-	  Switched to source lib dir. Thanks to Kevin for the help in
-	  figuring this out.
-
-2004-10-20  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (ThreadEventProc):	Corrected subtle
-	bug where the returned (char *) from Tcl_GetStringResult(interp)
-	continued to be used without copying or refcounting, while
-	activity on the interp continued.  That's not safe, and recent
-	changes demonstrated the lack of safety with failing tests
-	thread-4.3 and thread-4.5.
-
-2004-10-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictWithCmd): Make sure all paths (that
-	are not themselves error paths) do not lose the result code.
-
-2004-10-19  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h (Tcl*InterpState):		New internal routines
-	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl*InterpState):	TclSaveInterpState,
-	TclRestoreInterpState, and TclDiscardInterpState are superior
-	replacements for Tcl_(Save|Restore|Discard)Result.  Intent is that
-	these routines will be converted to public routines after TIP approval.
-	Interfaces for these routines were shamelessly stolen from Itcl.
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal):
-	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictUpdateCmd, DictWithCmd):
-	* generic/tclIOGT.c (ExecuteCallback):
-	* generic/tclTrace.c (Trace*Proc,TclCheck*Traces,TclCallVarTraces):
-	Callers of Tcl_*Result updated to call the new routines.  The
-	calls were relocated in several cases to perform save/restore
-	operations only when needed.
-
-	* generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors):
-	* generic/tclFCmd.c (CopyRenameOneFile):
-	Calls to Tcl_*Result that were eliminated because they appeared
-	to serve no useful purpose, typically saving/restoring an error
-	message, only to throw it away.
-
-2004-10-18  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp,Tcl_DeleteInterp):
-	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_CatchObjCmd):

-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd):
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj):
-	* generic/tclInt.h (Interp):
-	* generic/tclProc.c (TclUpdateReturnInfo):
-	Place primary storage of the -level and -code information in private

-
-2004-10-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* *.3: Convert CONST to const and VOID to void so we document how

-
-	* doc/man.macros, *.3: Update .AS macro so it can know how wide to

-2004-10-06  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclFileName.c (DoGlob, TclGlob): Stop messy sharing of

-	the result of the glob. This simplifies TclGlob quite a lot.
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory): Simplify by
-	removing some nesting. Also standardize variable names.
-	(FsAddMountsToGlobResult): Force updates to the list to be done
-	in-place, putting a side-condition of non-shared-ness on the
-	resultPtr argument to Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory, but everything would
-	have broken before if that was shared *anyway*.
-
-	* generic/tclEncoding.c (LoadTableEncoding): Removed reference to
-	Tcl interpreter; it wasn't needed as direct object use is more
-	efficient.
-
-	* generic/tclPathObj.c: Made this file follow the style rules in
-	the Engineering Manual more closely, and also take advantage of
-	the internal object manipulation macros more.
-
-	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Reorganized to have fewer
-	magic flag variables and to separate the code that scans for a

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

-	* tests/clock.test (clock-34.*,clock-40.1, clock-41.1): Adjusted the
-	clock-34.* test cases so that the consistency check is performed
-	in :localtime rather than the current time zone.  This change
-	allows dealing with issues where the C library has a different
-	idea of DST conversion than Tcl. (Real fix would be to break
-	TclGetDate into separate parser and time converter, and do
-	the time conversion in clock.tcl. That's for another day.)
-	Added regression test case for the bug where month was scanned

-	* library/clock.tcl (InitTZData, ClearCaches): Changed so that the

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

-	to allow optionally installing private tcl headers. [FR 922727]
-
-	* macosx/Makefile: use new 'install-private-headers' target
-	to install private headers into framework. [FR 922727]
-
-	* unix/tclUnixFile.c (NativeMatchType): added support for
-	readonly matching of user immutable files (where available).
-
-	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c: dynamically acquire address for
-	CFBundleOpenBundleResourceMap symbol, since it is only present in
-	full CoreFoundation on Mac OS X and not in CFLite on pure Darwin.

-2004-07-19  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
-
-	* win/tclwinThrd.c: redefined MASTER_LOCK to call
-	TclpMasterLock. Fixes Bug #987967
-
-2004-07-17  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to rare 'cd' infinite loop in
-	normalization with vfs [Bug 991420].
-	* tests/fileSystem.test: added test for above bug.
-
-	* doc/FileSystem.3: clarified documentation of posix error
-	codes in 'remove directory' FS proc - 'EEXIST' is used to
-	signify a non-empty directory error (bug reported against
-	tclvfs).
-
-2004-07-16  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* unix/Makefile.in, unix/tcl.m4:     move (C|LD)FLAGS after their
-	* unix/configure.in, unix/configure: _DEFAULT to allow for env
-	setting to override m4 switches.  Move SC_MISSING_POSIX_HEADERS up
-	and consolidate calls to limit redundancy in configure.
-	(CFLAGS_WARNING): Remove -Wconversion
-	(SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Set m4 to force threaded build when built
-	against a threaded Tcl core.
-
-2004-07-16  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Corrected a typo in the
-	  generation of error messages and simplified by reusing data in a
-	  variable instead of retrieving the string again.
-	  Fixes [Tcl SF Bug 835289].
-
-	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Added description of the behaviour of
-	  Tcl_ReadChars when its 'charsToRead' argument is set to
-	  -1. Fixes [Tcl SF Bug 934511].
-
-	* doc/CrtCommand.3: Added note that the arguments given to the
-	  command proc of a Tcl_CreateCommand are in utf8 since Tcl
-	  8.1. Closing [Tcl SF Patch 414778].
-
-	* doc/ChnlStack.3: Removed the declaration that the interp
-	  argument to Tcl_(un)StackChannel can be NULL. This fixes [Tcl SF
-	  Bug 881220], reported by Marco Maggi
-	  <marcomaggi@users.sourceforge.net>.
-
-	* tests/socket.test: Accepted two new testcases by Stuart Casoff
-	  <stwo@users.sourceforge.net> checking that -server and -async
-	  don't go together [Tcl SF Bug 796534].
-
-	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (NotifierThreadProc): Accepted Joe
-	  Mistachkin's patch for [Tcl SF Bug 990500], properly closing the
-	  notifier thread when its exits.
-
-2004-07-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpFinalizeMutex): Accepted Joe
-	  Mistachkin's patch for [Tcl SF Bug 990453], closing leakage of
-	  mutexes. They were not destroyed properly upon finalization.
-
-2004-07-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* generic/tclIO.h (CHANNEL_INCLOSE):	   New flag. Set in
-	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_UnregisterChannel): 'Tcl_Close' while the
-	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Close):		   close callbacks are
-	  run. Checked in 'Tcl_Close' and 'Tcl_Unregister' to prevent
-	  recursive call of 'close' in the close-callbacks. This is a
-	  possible error made by implementors of virtual filesystems based
-	  on 'tclvfs', thinking that they have to close the channel in the
-	  close handler for the filesystem.
-
-2004-07-14  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c:
-	* generic/tclIO.h:
-	* Not reverting, but #ifdef'ing the changes from May 19, 2004 out
-	  of the core. This removes the ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
-	  for channel drivers it introduced. This has become possible due
-	  to Expect gaining a BlockModeProc and now handling blockingg and
-	  non-blocking modes correctly. Thus [SF Tcl Bug 943274] is still
-	  fixed if a recent enough version of Expect is used.
-
-	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Added warning about usage of a channel without
-	  a BlockModeProc.
-
-2004-07-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@pliers.activestate.com>
-
-	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_PutsObjCmd): Added length check to the
-	  old depreceated newline syntax, to ensure that only "nonewline"
-	  is accepted. [Tcl SF Bug 985869], reported by Joe Mistachkin
-	  <mistachkin@users.sourceforge.net>.
-
-2004-07-15  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): stuffed memory leak
-	incurred by re-initializing of TSD slots after the last call to
-	TclFinalizeThreadData (done from within Tcl_FinalizeThread()).
-	We basically just repeat the TclFinalizeThreadData() once more
-	before tearing down TSD keys in TclFinalizeSynchronization().
-	There should be more elaborate mechanism in place for handling
-	such issues, based on thread cleanup handlers registered on the
-	OS level. Such change requires much more work and would also
-	require TIP because some visible parts of Tcl API would have to
-	be modified. In the meantime, this will do.
-
-	* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): Added conditional
-	notifier finalization based on the fact that an TclInitNotifier
-	has been called for the current thread. This fixes the Tcl
-	Bug #770053 again. Hopefully this time w/o unwanted side-effects.
-
-2004-07-15  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): Removed unused
-	variable 'codePtr' to silence a message from VC++.
-
-2004-07-15  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript):
-	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): fix for [Bug 467523],
-	which resurfaced with the latest changes. The previous strategy
-	was to have special code in TclReleaseLiteral to handle the
-	self-references generated by empty scripts. The new approach
-	avoids the self-reference altogether, by having empty scripts
-	return an unshared literal.
-
-2004-07-15  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclEvent.c (NewThreadProc): Backout of changes
-	to fix the Tcl Bug #770053. See SF bugreport for more info.
-
-2004-07-11  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalEx): leak fix by dgp, release
-	objv[objectsUsed] on error.
-
-2004-07-11  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_SubstObj): leak fix by dgp, release
-	result on error.
-
-2004-07-11  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c (BuildEnsembleConfig): Don't forget to clean
-	out references when deleting the hash table.
-	* generic/tclDictObj.c (Tcl_DictObjRemoveKeyList): Oops, forgot to
-	delete value object when removing the hash entry. [Bug 989093 in part]
-
-2004-07-11  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): fixed leak of expandNestList objs
-	when there is an error while an expansion is in progress (code
-	added at checkForCatch).
-
-2004-07-11  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to 'cd' bug when vfs is active
-	[Bug 986944 in tclvfs project] - this bug recently introduced
-	by some threading fixes.  Need to work out how to add
-	tests for this.
-
-2004-07-10  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* tests/clock.test (clock-2.11): Changed the test so that
-	it isn't an infinite loop when run under valgrind on a slow
-	virtual machine.  Thanks to Miguel Sofer for the bug report.
-	Also put in code to restore env(LC_TIME) after tests complete,
-	silencing a warning from 'make TESTFLAGS="-debug 1" test'.
-
-2004-07-08  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc): reverted the modification
-	of 3 days ago, as the leak of [Bug 983660] is now handled by the
-	change in TclCleanupByteCode.
-	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCleanupByteCode): let each bytecode
-	remove its references to literals at interp deletion, without
-	updating the dying literal table.
-	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclDeleteLiteralTable): with the above
-	change to TclCleanupByteCode, this function now removes a single
-	reference to the literal object and cleans up its own structures.
-
-2004-07-08  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* win/tclWinInit.c (AppendEnvironment): Silenced a compilation
-	warning about a type mismatch.
-
-2004-07-07  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): fix for [Bug 458361].
-	Single-word scripts are compiled with an unshared cmdName to avoid
-	shimmering between bytecode and cmdName reps.
-
-2004-07-07  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclMergeReturnOptions):  Simplified logic and
-	removed potential memory leak.	[Bug 986257].
-
-2004-07-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* tools/man2help2.tcl (setTabs, IPmacro): Added support for the
-	more advanced *roff macros used in Tk's doc/bind.n
-
-	* generic/tclObj.c (TclInitObjSubsystem): Declare all current
-	object types.
-
-2004-07-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-return-2.17):	 Added a test that a word
-	containing backslash-quoted value is treated correctly.
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclWordKnownAtCompileTime):  [Bug 986196]
-	Corrected flaw above and the flaw that caused TCL_TOKEN_SIMPLE_WORDs
-	to have their original word value copied ( "{a b}" ) rather than the
-	actual value ( "a b" ).	 Thanks to Kevin Kenny for report and tests.
-
-2004-07-06  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-return-2.15,cmdMZ-return-2.16):
-	Added a test that a return code containing spaces is correctly
-	returned.
-
-2004-07-06  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* tools/man2html2.tcl (IPmacro, setTabs): Added support for the
-	more advanced *roff macros used in Tk's doc/bind.n
-
-2004-07-05  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc): fix for [Bug 983660],
-	found by pspjuth. Tear down the global namespace before freeing
-	the interp handle, to allow the bytecodes to free their non-shared
-	literals.
-	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): moved special code for
-	self-ref so that it is also used for non-shared literals. Possible
-	bug found by inspection.
-
-2004-07-03  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprRoundFunc):
-	* tests/expr-old.test (39.1): added support for wide integers to
-	round(); [Bug 908375], reported by Hemang Lavana.
-
-2004-07-03  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.h:
-	* generic/tclInt.decls:

-	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Moved declaration of TclCompEvalObj()
-	from tclCompile.h to the internal stubs table, for compiler
-	experimentation.
-
-2004-07-02  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* generic/regcomp.c (stid): correct minor pointer size error
-
-	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): applied TIP #202 patch
-	* doc/exec.n, tests/exec.test:		 that adds 2>@1 as a
-	special case redirection of stderr to the result output.
-
-2004-07-02  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* tests/io.test: Changed several tests to run the event
-	loop rather than just calling [update] periodically, avoiding
-	intermittent failures (usually in io-29.32) that stemmed from
-	unreaped processes on Windows.
-	* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-1.11): Fixed a bug that caused
-	test to fail if the path name of the working directory contained
-	whitespace [Bug 678430]
-
-2004-07-01  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* tests/fileSystem.test: Added test for [Bug 970529]
-
-2004-07-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* win/README.binary, win/README: Updated references to Tcl and Tk

-	getting missed in the future.
-
-	* doc/Namespace.3, doc/load.n, doc/Limit.3: Typo fixes and remove
-	duplicate documentation. [Bug 983146]
-
-2004-06-30  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

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

-
-2004-06-29  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* win/tclWinInit.c:	Corrected reference counting flaw in

-
-	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: fix to compilation with VC++ 5.2
-
-2004-06-29  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* library/safe.tcl: Make sure that the temporary variable is

-
-2004-06-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* tests/unixNotfy.test: Modified constraints so that testing with
-	a threaded tclsh (not tcltest) will not hang.
-
-2004-06-23  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c:	Corrected type casting errors that led
-	to calculation of a negative index value, thus accesses outside the
-	threadStorageCache array, thus memory corruption.  Crash observed on
-	Mac OS X platform.
-
-2004-06-23  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
-
-	* generic/tclThread.c: Implements platform independent thread storage
-	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: mechanism and fixes associated bugs on
-	platforms where there is limited thread local storage space
-	(Win98/WinNT4). [Patch 976496]
-
-	* generic/tclInt.decls:
-	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: Added thread storage functions to the
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c: internal stubs table.
-
-	* unix/Makefile.in:
-	* unix/configure:
-	* unix/tcl.m4:
-	* win/makefile.vc:
-	* win/rules.vc:
-	* win/Makefile.in: Modified the unix, VC++, and Cygwin build systems
-	* win/configure: to include the new "tclThreadStorage.c" and the new
-	* win/tcl.m4: USE_THREAD_STORAGE define.
-
-2004-06-23  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* tests/io.test: Added -force to 18.1 and 18.2. This was failing
-	on WinXP.
-
-	* tests/winFCmd.test: Added a cleanup to winFCmd-16.11 to avoid a
-	failure in 16.12.
-
-	* tests/eofchar.data: Added -kb option to ensure a binary checkout
-	to win32 systems. This fixes a failure in io-61.1
-
-	* win/makefile.vc: fix for bug #977369 about launching tclsh to
-	generate a tclConfig.sh with the nmake build system
-
-2004-06-23  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* tests/winDde.test (createChildProcess): Added a 200-ms delay
-	(with the event loop live) when shutting down the test DDE server
-	process, With the delay in place, nuisance failures of tests
-	winDde-4.2, -6.5, and -6.6 appear to be much less frequent.
-	[Bug #957449]
-
-2004-06-23  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* tests/*.test: Standardize use of platform constraints.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (GetStackSize, TclpCheckStackSpace):
-	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpThreadGetStackSize): Added code to check
-	whether the C stack is about to be exceeded, from [Patch 746378]
-	by Joe Mistachkin but with substantial revisions.
-
-2004-06-22  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>

-	* generic/tclInt.h:
-	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
-	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
-	* win/tclWinThrd.c: [Bug #770053]. See bug report for
-	more information about what it does.
-
-	* tests/unixNotfy.test: rewritten to use tcltest::threadReap
-	to gracefully wait for the test thread to exit. Otherwise
-	we got a race condition with main thread exiting before the
-	test thread. This exposed the long-standing Tcl lib issue
-	with resource garbage-collection on application exit.
-
-2004-06-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (DllMain, _except_dllmain_detach_handler,
-	TclpCheckStackSpace, _except_checkstackspace_handler,
-	TclWinCPUID, _except_TclWinCPUID_detach_handler):

-	_except_makefilechannel_handler):
-	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoRenameFile,
-	_except_dorenamefile_handler, DoCopyFile,
-	_except_docopyfile_handler):
-	Rework pushing of exception handler function pointer
-	so that compiling with gcc -O3 works. Remove empty
-	function call to avoid compiler warning. Mark the
-	DllMain function as noinline to avoid compiler
-	error from duplicated asm labels in generated code.
-
-2004-06-21  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (Ptr2Block): Rewrote so as to maximize
-	the chance of detecting and reporting a memory inconsistency without
-	relying on things being consistent. [Bug 975895]
-
-2004-06-18  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* tests/load.test:	Relaxed strictness of error message matching
-	for test load-2.3 so that it will pass on Mac OSX.
-
-	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Static TclFindEncodings -> FindEncodings.
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	Updated TclpFindExecutable() so that failed
-	* generic/tclUtil.c:	attempts to find the executable are saved
-	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:	just as successful finds are.  [Patch 966053]
-	* unix/tclUnixTest.c:
-
-2004-06-18  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* tests/winFCmd.test (winFCmd-16.12): Changed test to

-	user's HOME isn't the root.
-
-2004-06-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* unix/tcl.m4: autoconf 2.5 fixes in Darwin section.

-	encoding mapping info from Jim Huang <jserv@kaffe.org>
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h (PendingObjData,TclFreeObjMacro,etc):
-	* generic/tclObj.c (TclFreeObj): Added scheme for making TclFreeObj()
-	avoid blowing up the C stack when freeing up very large object
-	trees. [Bug 886231]
-
-	* win/tclWinInit.c (SetDefaultLibraryDir): Fix logic, simplify and
-	add comments.
-
-2004-06-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclObj.c:	Added missing space in panic message.
-
-	* win/tclWinInit.c:	Inform [tclInit] about the default library
-	directory via the ::tclDefaultLibrary variable.	 This should correct
-	a problem with my 2004-06-11 commit.  Better solutions still in the
-	works.	Thanks to Joe Mistachkin for pointing out the breakage.
-
-2004-06-16  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* doc/library.n:	Moved variables ::auto_oldpath and
-	* library/auto.tcl:	::unknown_pending into ::tcl namespace.

-
-2004-06-15  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* doc/binary.n: Added some notes to the documentation of the 'a'
-	format to address the point raised in [RFE 768852].
-
-2004-06-15  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* unix/tclConfig.sh.in (TCL_EXTRA_CFLAGS): set to @CFLAGS@, which
-	is the configure-time CFLAGS. Addendum to m4 change on 2004-05-26.
-
-2004-06-14  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* win/Makefile.in: Corrected compilation flags for tclPkgConfig.c
-	so that it doesn't require Stubs.
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Removed comment stating
-	that TclInitEmbeddedConfigurationInformation needs Stubs; with the
-	change above, the comment is now erroneous.
-
-2004-06-11  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* doc/Encoding.3:	Removed bogus claims about tcl_libPath.
-
-	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_Init):	Stopped setting the
-	tcl_libPath variable.  [tclInit] can get all its directories
-	without it.
-
-	* tests/unixInit.test:	Modified test code that made use of
-	tcl_libPath variable.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	Stopped setting the tclDefaultLibrary variable,
-	execept on the Mac OS X platform with HAVE_CFBUNDLE.  In that
-	configuration we should seek some way to make use of the TIP 59
-	facilities and get rid of that usage of tclDefaultLibrary as well.
-
-	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Updated [tclInit] to make $env(TCL_LIBRARY) an
-	absolute path, and to include the scriptdir,runtime configuration value
-	on the search path for init.tcl.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	The routines Tcl_Init() and TclSourceRCFile()
-	* win/tclWinInit.c:	had identical implementations for both win and
-	* generic/tclInterp.c:	unix.  Moved to a single generic implementation.
-	* generic/tclMain.c:
-	* library/init.tcl:
-	* generic/tclInitScript.h (removed):
-	* unix/Makefile.in:
-	* win/tcl.dsp:
-
-	* unix/configure.in:	Updated TCL_PACKAGE_PATH value to

-
-	* unix/configure.in:	autoconf-2.57
-	* win/configure.in:
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Moved call to
-	TclInitEmbeddedConfigurationInformation() earlier in
-	Tcl_CreateInterp() so that other parts of interp creation
-	and initialization may access and use the config values.
-

-
-	* win/tclAppInit.c: Restored the 'setargv' procedure when
-	compiling with mingw.  Apparently, the command line parsing in
-	mingw doesn't work as well as that in vc++, and the result was
-	(1) that winPipe-8.19 failed, and (2) that 'make test' would
-	work at all only with TESTFLAGS='-singleproc 1'. [Bug 967195]
-
-2004-06-10  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed forceful setting of the
-	  private cached current working directory rep from
-	  within the Tcl_FSChdir(). We delegate this task to
-	  the Tcl_FSGetCwd() which does this task anyway.
-	  The relevant code is still present but disabled
-	  temporarily until the change proves correct. The Tcl
-	  test suite passes all test with the given change so
-	  I suppose it is good enough.
-
-2004-06-10  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):	Disabled addition of
-	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):	relative-to-executable
-	directories to the library search path.	 A first step in reform of
-	Tcl's startup process.
-
-	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
-	Attempts to directly run ./tclsh or ./tcltest out of a build
-	directory will either fail, or will make use of an installed
-	script library in preference to the one in the source tree.
-	Use `make shell` or `make runtest` instead.
-
-	* tests/unixInit.test:	Modified tests to suit above changes.
-
-	* generic/tclPathObj.c:	Corrected [file tail] results when operating
-	on a path produced by TclNewFSPathObj(). [Bug 970529]
-
-2004-06-09  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: partially corrected [Bug 932314].
-	  Also, corrected return values of Tcl_FSChdir() to
-	  reflect those of the underlying platform-specific call.
-	  Originally, return codes were mixed with those of Tcl.

-
-	* generic/tcl.h: Corrected Tcl_WideInt declarations so that the mingw
-	build works again.
-	* generic/tclDecls.h:			Changes to the tests for
-	* generic/tclInt.decls:			clock frequency in
-	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:		Tcl_WinTime
-	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:		so that any clock frequency
-	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:		is accepted provided that
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c:		all CPU's in the system share
-	* tests/platform.test (platform-1.3):	a common chip, and hence,
-	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclWinCPUID):	presumably, a common clock.
-	* win/tclWinTest.c (TestwincpuidCmd)	This change necessitated a
-	* win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_GetTime):	small burst of assembly code
-	to read CPU ID information, which was added as TclWinCPUID in the
-	internal Stubs.	 To test this code in the common case of a
-	single-processor machine, a 'testwincpuid' command was added to
-	tclWinTest.c, and a test case in platform.test.	 Thanks to Jeff
-	Godfrey and Richard Suchenwirth for reporting this bug. [Bug
-	#976722]
-
-2004-06-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tcl.h:	Restored #include <stdio.h> to tcl.h,
-	rejecting the "fix" for "Bug" 945570.  Tcl_FSSeek() needs the
-	values of SEEK_SET, etc. and too many extensions rely on tcl.h
-	providing stdio.h for them.
-
-2004-06-02  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpFindExecutable): when using
-	GetModuleFileNameA (Win9x), convert from CP_ACP to WCHAR then

-
-2004-06-02  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-6.1): blocking set to 1 before

-2004-06-01  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* win/makefile.vc: check for either MSDEVDIR or MSVCDIR being in
-	the environment, for VC7.  [Bug 942214]
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelOption):  -buffersize wasn't
-	understanding hexidecimal notation nor was reporting number
-	conversion errors.  The behavior to silently ignore settings
-	outside the acceptable range of Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize
-	(<10 or >1M) is unchanged.  This silent ignoring behavior
-	might be up for review soon..
-
-2004-05-30  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
-	* win/tclWinPort.h:  Reworked the win implementation of
-	Tcl_WaitPid to support exitcodes in the 'signed short' range.
-	Even though this range is non-portable, it is valid on windows.
-	Detection of exception codes are now more accurate.  Previously,
-	an application that exited with ExitProcess((DWORD)-1); was
-	improperly reported as exiting with SIGABRT.
-
-2004-05-30  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclInterp.c: Added comments describing the purposes of

-	some non-public functions for greater clarity of purpose.
-	* doc/interp.n: Added note about what happens when a limited
-	interpreter creates a slave interpreter.
-	* doc/Limit.3: Added manual page for the resource limit

-
-2004-05-29  Joe English	 <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>

-
-2004-05-27  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* tests/clock.test: Added a single test for the presence of %G

-	[Bug 961714]
-
-2004-05-27  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclHash.c (CompareStringKeys): Added #ifdef to allow
-	people to instruct this function to use strcmp(). [FRQ 951168]
-
-	* generic/tclVar.c: Moved declarations into #if guards so they
-	only happen when required.
-	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: Guard declaration of strtod() so it is only
-	enabled when we don't have a declaration in stdlib.h
-	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread):	Added declarations
-	* unix/tclUnixTest.c (AlarmHandler):		and casts so that
-	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyModemStatusStr):	all functions are
-	* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd):		defined before use
-	* generic/tclDictObj.c (InvalidateDictChain):	and no cross-type
-	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd):	uses are performed.
-
-	The overall effect is to make building with gcc with the
-	additional flags -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes produce
-	no increase in the total number of warnings (except for main(),
-	which is undeclared for traditional reasons.)
-
-2004-05-26  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* unix/Makefile.in:  Rework configure ordering to TCL_LINK_LIBS,
-	* unix/tcl.m4:	     ENABLE_SHARED, CONFIG_CFLAGS, & ENABLE_SYMBOLS
-	* unix/configure:    before TCL_EARLY_FLAGS and TCL_64BIT_FLAGS
-	* unix/configure.in: (about 400 lines earlier) in configure.in.
-	This forces CFLAGS configuration to be done before many tests,
-	which is needed for 64-bit builds and may affect other builds.
-	Also make CONFIG_CFLAGS append to CFLAGS directly instead of using
-	EXTRA_CFLAGS, and have LDFLAGS append to any existing value.
-	[Bug #874058]

-2004-05-25  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* doc/http.n (http::config): add -urlencoding option (default utf-8)
-	* library/http/http.tcl:     that specifies encoding conversion of

-	* tests/http.test:	     undefined, RFC 2718 says it should be

-
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindNamespaceVar):
-	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-17.10-12): reverted commit of
-	2004-05-23 and removed the tests, as it interferes with the
-	varname resolver and there are apps that break (AlphaTk). A fix
-	will have to wait for Tcl9.
-
-	* generic/tclVar.c: Caching of namespace variables disabled: no
-	simple way was found to avoid interfering with the resolver's idea
-	of variable existence. A cached varName may keep a variable's name
-	in the namespace's hash table, which is the resolver's criterion
-	for existence.

-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (VerifyExprObjType): use GET_WIDE_OR_INT to

-
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindNamespaceVar): [Bug 959052] fixed,

-	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupSimpleVar): comments re [Bug 736729]
-	(predecessor of [Bug 959052]) removed.
-	* tests/namespace.test: added tests 17.10-12
-
-	The patch modifies non-documented behaviour, and passes every test
-	in the testsuite. However, scripts relying on the old behaviour
-	may break.
-	Note that the only behaviour change concerns the creative writing
-	of unset variables. More precisely, which variable will be created
-	when neither a namespace variable nor a global variable by that
-	name exists, as defined by [info vars]. The new behaviour is that
-	the namespace resolution process deems a variable to exist exactly
-	when [info vars] finds it - ie, either it has value, or else it
-	was "fixed" by a call to [variable].
-	Note: this patch was removed on 2002-05-25.

-2004-05-22  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclVar.c (TclObjLookupVar, TclObjUnsetVar2): fix for new
-	(in tcl8.4) exteriorisations of [Bug 736729] due to the use of
-	tclNsVarNameType obj types. Reenabling the use of this objType
-	("VAR ref absolute" benchmark down to 66 ms, from 230).

-
-2004-05-22  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclVar.c: fix for [Bug 735335]. The use of

-
-2004-05-21  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-41.3): removed the {knownBug}
-	constraint: [Bug 231259] is closed since nov 2001, and the fix of

-
-2004-05-21  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Move a few

-	fix so TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG path compiles...
-
-2004-05-21  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): reorganised TEBC
-	automatic variables, defining them in tight blocks instead of at
-	the function level. This has three purposes:
-	- it simplifies the analysis of individual instructions
-	- it is preliminary work to the non-recursive engine
-	- it allows a better register allocation by the optimiser; under
-	gcc3.3, this results in up to 10% runtime in some tests

-
-2004-05-19  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): fix for an issue
-	where there was a sneak path from Tcl_DStringFree to
-	SetErrorCode(0). The result was that the error code could
-	be reset between a call to FindFirstFileEx and the check
-	of its status return, leading to a bizarre error return of
-	{POSIX unknown {No error}}.  (Found in unplanned test -
-	no incident logged at SourceForge.)
-
-2004-05-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* tests/interp.test (interp-34.3): Rewrite this test to see if a

-	denial-of-service attack.
-	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_LimitCheck): Fix the sense of checks to
-	see whether a time limit has been extended.
-
-	* tests/*.test: Many minor fixes, including ensuring that every
-	test is run (so constraints control whether the test is doing
-	anything) and making sure that constraints are always set using
-	the API instead of poking around inside tcltest's internal
-	datastructures.	 Also got rid of all trailing whitespace lines
-	from the test suite!

-2004-05-19  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c: Fixed [SF Tcl Bug 943274]. This is the same problem
-	* generic/tclIO.h: as [SF Tcl Bug 462317], see ChangeLog entry
-		   2001-09-26. The fix done at that time is incomplete. It
-		   is possible to get around it if the actual read
-		   operation is defered and not executed in the event
-		   handler itself. Instead of tracking if we are in an
-		   read caused by a synthesized fileevent we now track if
-		   the OS has delivered a true event = actual data and
-		   bypass the driver if a read finds that there is no
-		   actual data waiting. The flag is cleared by a short or
-		   full read.

-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC:INST_START_CMD): Make sure that the

-	chance while in alpha as ...
-
-	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
-	Scripts precompiled with ProComp under previous tcl8.5a versions
-	may malfunction due to changed instruction numbers for
-	INST_LIST_INDEX_IMM, INST_LIST_RANGE_IMM and INST_START_CMD.

-
-	* generic/tclInt.decls:	     Promoted TclpLocaltime and TclpGmtime
-	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:     from Unix-specific stubs to the generic
-	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: internal Stubs table.  Reran 'genstubs'
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
-	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
-
-	* generic/tclClock.c: Changed a buggy 'GMT' timezone specification
-			      to the correct 'GMT0'. [Bug #922848]
-
-	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Moved TclpGmtime and TclpLocaltime to
-			      unix/tclUnixTime.c where they belong.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (TclpGmtime, TclpLocaltime, TclpGetTimeZone,
-			      ThreadSafeGMTime [removed],
-			      ThreadSafeLocalTime [removed],
-			      SetTZIfNecessary, CleanupMemory):
-	    Restructured to make sure that the same mutex protects
-	    all calls to localtime, gmtime, and tzset.	Added a check
-	    in front of those calls to make sure that the TZ env var
-	    hasn't changed since the last call to tzset, and repeat
-	    tzset if necessary. [Bug #942078]  Removed a buggy test
-	    of the Daylight Saving Time information in 'gettimeofday'
-	    in favor of applying 'localtime' to a known value.
-	    [Bug #922848]
-
-	* tests/clock.test (clock-3.14): Added test to make sure that
-	    changes to $env(TZ) take effect immediately.
-
-	* win/tclWinTime.c (TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime):
-	    Added porting layer for 'localtime' and 'gmtime' calls.

-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:
-	* generic/tclCompile.h: the math functions receive a pointer to
-	top of the stack (tosPtr) instead of the execution environment
-	(eePtr). First step towards a change in the execution stack
-	management - it is now only used within TEBC.

-
-	Optimisations for INST_START_CMD [Bug 926164].
-	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): avoid emitting
-	INST_START_CMD as the first instruction in a bytecoded Tcl_Obj. It
-	is not needed, as the checks are done before calling TEBC.
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peephole
-	optimisation: check at INST_POP if the next instruction is
-	INST_START_CMD, in which case we fall through.

-
-	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Moved non-obvious appending
-	logic to outside the loop and added commentary for its purpose. Also
-	use the existence of contents in the linePtr rather than the scratch
-	DString post the append, as this more clear.
-
-	(TclpCreateProcess): When under NT, with no console, and executing a
-	DOS application, the path priming does not need an ending space as
-	BuildCommandLine() will do this for us.

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

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

-
-	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 940281].  Tcl_FSJoinPath
-	will now always return a valid Tcl_Obj when the input is valid.
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to [Bug 931823] for a more consistent
-	Tcl_FSPathSeparator() implementation which allows filesystems
-	not to implement their Tcl_FSFilesystemSeparatorProc if they
-	wish to use the default '/'.  Also fixed associated memory leak
-	seen with, e.g., tclvfs package.

-
-	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:  Removed my mistake from 4/19 of adding an

-	TclFinalizeFilesystem does the Tcl_FreeEncoding for us.
-
-	* win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel) : Case for CloseHandle
-	returning zero and not throwing a
-	RaiseException(EXCEPTION_INVALID_HANDLE) now being done.
-
-2004-04-22  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* generic/tclEvent.c: TclSetLibraryPath's use of caching the
-	stringrep of the pathPtr object to TclGetLibraryPath called from
-	another thread was ineffective if the original's stringrep had
-	been invalidated as what happens when it gets muted to a list.
-
-	* win/tclWinTime.c:  If the Tcl_ExitProc (StopCalibration) is
-	called from the stack frame of DllMain's PROCESS_DETACH, the
-	wait operation should timeout and continue.

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

-
-	* doc/Hash.3: Added note to Tcl_{First,Next}HashEntry docs that
-	deleting the element they return is supported (and is in fact the

-
-2004-04-19  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Added an exit handler in TclWinInit() so
-	tclWinTCharEncoding could be freed during Tcl_Finalize().
-
-	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Added FreeEncoding(systemEncoding) in
-	TclFinalizeEncodingSubsystem because its ref count was incremented
-	in TclInitEncodingSubsystem.

-
-2004-04-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	Patch 922727 committed.	 Implements three changes:
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	Reworked the Tcl header files into a clean
-	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:	hierarchy where tcl.h < tclPort.h < tclInt.h
-	* win/tclWinInt.h:	and every C source file should #include
-	* win/tclWinPort.h:	at most one of those files to satisfy its
-	declaration needs.  tclWinInt.h and tclWinPort.h also better organized
-	so that tclWinPort.h includes the Windows implementation of
-	cross-platform declarations, while tclWinInt.h makes declarations that
-	are available on Windows only.
-
-	* generic/tclBinary.c (TCL_NO_MATH):	Deleted the generic/tclMath.h
-	* generic/tclMath.h (removed):		header file. The internal Tcl
-	* macosx/Makefile (PRIVATE_HEADERS):	header, tclInt.h, has a
-	* win/tcl.dsp:				#include <math.h> directly,
-	and file external to Tcl needing libm should do the same.
-
-	* win/Makefile.in (WIN_OBJS):	Deleted the win/tclWinMtherr.c file.
-	* win/makefile.bc (TCLOBJS):	It's a vestige from matherr() days
-	* win/makefile.vc (TCLOBJS):	gone by.
-	* win/tcl.dsp:
-	* win/tclWinMtherr.c (removed):
-
-	End Patch 922727.
-
-	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-3.1):	Default encoding on Darwin
-	systems is utf-8.  Thanks to Steven Abner (tauvan).  [Bug 928808]
-
-2004-04-06  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-18.2): Added constraint because
-	access(...,X_OK) is defined to be permitted to be meaningless when
-	running as root, and OSX exhibits this.	 [Bug 929892]
-
-2004-04-02  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c:
-	* generic/tclInt.h: removed the macro TCL_ALIGN() from tclInt.h,

-	[Bug 926454]
-
-2004-04-01  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:	 Fix to privately reported vfs bug with
-	'glob -type d -dir . *' across a vfs boundary.	No tests for
-	this are currently possible without effectively moving tclvfs
-	into Tcl's test suite.
-
-2004-03-31  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* doc/msgcat.n:	Clarified message catalog file encodings. [Bug 811457]
-	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:
-	Updated internals to make use of [dict]s to store message catalog
-	data and to use [source -encoding utf-8] to access catalog files.
-	Thanks to Michael Sclenker.  [Patch 875055, RFE 811459]
-	Corrected [mcset] to be able to successfully set a translation to
-	the empty string.  [mcset $loc $src {}] was incorrectly set the
-	$loc translation of $src back to $src.	Also changed [ConvertLocale]
-	to minimally require a non-empty "language" part in the locale value.
-	If not, an error raised prompts [Init] to keep looking for a valid
-	locale value, or ultimately fall back on the "C" locale. [Bug 811461].
-	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:	Bump to msgcat 1.4.1.

-
-	* generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey): Cleaned up. This function is
-	not faster, but it is a little bit clearer.
-	* generic/tclLiteral.c (HashString): Applied logic from HashObjKey.
-	* generic/tclObj.c (HashObjKey): Rewrote to fix fault which hashed
-	every single-character object to the same hash bucket.	The new
-	code is shorter, simpler, clearer, and (happily) faster.
-
-2004-03-30  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): reverting to the previous method
-	for async tests in TEBC, as the new method turned out to be too
-	costly. Async tests now run every 64 instructions.
-
-2004-03-30  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c:	    New instruction code INST_START_CMD
-	* generic/tclCompile.h:	    that allows checking the bytecode's
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:	    validity [Bug 729692] and the interp's
-	* tests/interp.test (18.9): readyness [Bug 495830] before running
-	* tests/proc.test (7.1):    the command. It also changes the
-	* tests/rename.test (6.1):  mechanics of the async tests in TEBC,
-	doing it now at command start instead of every 16 instructions.
-
-2004-03-30  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclFileName.c:  Fix to Windows glob where the pattern is
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:	  a volume relative path or a network
-	* tests/fileName.test:	  share [Bug 898238]. On windows 'glob'
-	* tests/fileSystem.test:  will now return the results of
-	'glob /foo/bar' and 'glob \\foo\\bar' as 'C:/foo/bar', i.e. a
-	correct absolute path (rather than a volume relative path).
-
-	Note that the test suite does not test commands like
-	'glob //Machine/Shared/*' (on a network share).

-2004-03-30  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

-2004-03-29  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main, StdinProc):	Append newline only
-	* tests/basic.test (basic-46.1):		to incomplete scripts
-	as part of multi-line script construction.  Do not add an extra
-	trailing newline to the complete script.  [Bug 833150]
-
-2004-03-28  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): corrected possible

-
-	* win/tclWinNotify.c: Fixed a mistake where the return value of
-	MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx for "a message is in the queue" wasn't
-	accurate.  I removed the check on the case result==(WAIT_OBJECT_0 + 1)
-	This was having the error of falling into GetMessage and waiting
-	there by accident, which wasn't alertable through Tcl_AlertNotifier.
-	I'll do some more study on this and try to find-out why.
-
-2004-03-12  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

-	IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#163

-	instead of the local one. [Bug 913513]
-	* tests/clock.test: Added test cases for wrong ISO8601 week number
-	[Bug 500285] and wrong GMT base date [Bug 913513].  Several tests
-	still fail on Windows, and these are actual faults in [clock scan].
-	Fix is still pending.

-
-2004-03-08  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclParse.c (TclParseInit):	Modified TclParseInit so
-	* generic/tclTest.c ([testexprparser]): that Tcl_Parse initialization
-	conforms to documented promised about what fields will not be
-	modified by what Tcl_Parse* routines. [Bug 910595]
-
-2004-03-05  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* win/configure: Regen.
-	* win/configure.in: Check for define of
-	MWMO_ALERTABLE in winuser.h.
-	* win/tclWinPort.h: If MWMO_ALERTABLE
-	is not defined in winuser.h then define it.
-	This is needed for Mingw.
-
-2004-03-05  Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclTest.c: Modified TesteventObjCmd to use
-	a Tcl_QueuePosition in place of an 'int' for the enumerated
-	queue position, to avoid a compiler warning on SGI.
-	(Bug #771960).
-
-2004-03-05  Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* tests/registry.test: Applied fix from Patch #910174 to
-	make the test for an English-language system include any
-	country code, rather than just English-United States.1252.
-	Thanks to Pat Thoyts for the changes.
-
-2004-03-04  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* tests/registry.test: Applied fixed from #766159 to skip two
-	tests on Win98 that depend on a Unicode registry (NT specific).
-
-2004-03-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h (TclParseInit):	Factored the common code

-	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:		struct into one routine.
-
-2004-03-04  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl:  Added TIP #100 support to the
-	* win/tclWinReg.c:	     registry package (patch #903831)
-	This provides a Windows test of the TIP #100 mechanism and
-	a sample to show how unloading an extension can be done.

-
-	* changes: updated for 8.5a1
-
-2004-03-03  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* win/makefile.vc: default environment variable for VC++ is
-	%MSDevDir% not %MSVCDir%, although vcvars32.bat sets both.
-
-	* win/tclWinNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent) : Allows an idling
-	notifier to service "Asynchronous Procedure Calls" from its wait
-	state.	Only useful for extension authors who decide they might
-	want to try "completion routines" with WriteFileEx(), as an
-	example.  From experience, I recommend that "completion	ports"
-	should be used instead as the execution of the callbacks are more
-	managable.

-	* generic/tclTrace.c (TclCheckInterpTraces):	The TIP 62
-	* generic/tclTest.c (TestcmdtraceCmd):	implementation introduced a
-	* tests/trace.test (trace-29.10):	bug by testing the CallFrame
-	level instead of the iPtr->numLevels level when deciding what traces
-	created by Tcl_Create(Obj)Trace to call.  Added test to expose the

-	very long hostnames.  [Bug 888777]
-
-2004-02-25  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* win/tclWinDde.c: Removed some gcc warnings - except for the
-	-Wconversion warning for GetGlobalAtomName. gcc is just wrong
-	about this.
-
-2004-02-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

-
-2004-02-21  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclLoad.c (Tcl_LoadObjCmd): Fixed memory leak due to
-	an improper error exit route.
-
-2004-02-20  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* win/tclWinSock.c (SocketThreadExitHandler): Don't call
-	TerminateThread when WaitForSingleObject returns a timeout.
-	Tcl_Finalize called from DllMain will pause all threads.  Trust
-	that the thread will get the close notice at a later time if it
-	does ever wake up before being cleaned up by the system anyway.
-
-2004-02-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* doc/tcltest.n:
-	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Changed -verbose default value to
-	{body error} so that detailed information on unexpected errors in

-
-2004-02-17  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-

-
-2004-02-16  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* generic/tclTrace.c (TclTraceExecutionObjCmd)
-	(TclTraceCommandObjCmd): fix possible mem leak in trace info.
-
-2004-02-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* win/tclWinInit.c (AppendEnvironment):
-	Use the tail component of the passed in
-	lib path instead of just blindly using
-	lib+4. That worked when lib was "lib/..."
-	but fails for other values. Thanks go to
-	Patrick Samson for pointing this out.
-
-2004-02-10  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* win/nmakehlp.c: better macro grepping logic.
-
-2004-02-07  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* win/makefile.vc:
-	* win/rules.vc:
-	* win/tcl.rc:
-	* win/tclsh.rc:	 Added an 'unchecked' option to the OPTS macro so a
-	core built with symbols can be linked to the non-debug enabled C
-	run-time.  As per discussion with Kevin Kenny.	Called like this:
-
-		nmake -af makefile.vc OPTS=unchecked,symbols
-
-	This clarifies the meaning of the 'g' naming suffix to mean only that
-	the binary requires the debug enabled C run-time.  Whether the binary
-	contains symbols or not is a different condition.
-
-2004-02-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* doc/clock.n:	Removed reference to non-existent [file ctime].

-	* docs/tclvars.n: Added clarification of the tcl_platform(debug)
-	var that it only refers to the flavor of the C run-time, and not
-	whether the core contains symbols.
-
-2004-02-05  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclFileName.c (SkipToChar):	Corrected CONST and
-	type-casting issues that caused compiler warnings.
-
-2004-02-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (StoreStatData):	Removed improper refcount
-	decrement of the varName parameter.  This error was causing
-	segfaults following test cmdAH-28.7.
-
-	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Corrected references to
-	non-existent $name variable in [cleanupTests]. [Bug 833637]
-
-2004-02-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Corrected parsing of single
-	command line argument (option with missing value) [Bug 833910]
-	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:	Bump to version 2.2.5.
-
-2004-02-02  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Ungets): Fixes improper filling of the
-	channel buffer. This is the buffer before the splice. [Bug 405995]
-
-2004-02-01  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* tests/winPipe.test: more pass-thru commandline verifications.
-	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Special case quoting for
-	'{' not required by the c-runtimes's parse_cmdline().
-	* win/tclAppInit.c: Removed our custom setargv() in favor of
-	the work provided by the c-runtime. [Bug 672938]
-
-	* win/nmakehlp.c: defensive techniques to avoid static buffer
-	overflows and a couple envars upsetting invokations of cl.exe
-	and link.exe.  [Bug 885537]
-
-	--------
-	* tests/winPipe.test: Added proof that BuildCommandLine() is not
-	doing the "N backslashes followed a quote -> insert N * 2 + 1
-	backslashes then a quote" rule needed for the crt's
-	parse_cmdline().
-	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Fixed BuildCommandLine() to pass the new
-	cases.
-
-2004-01-30  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* win/makefile.vc: Use the -GZ compiler switch when building for
-	symbols.  This is supposed to emulate the release build better to
-	avoid hiding problems that only show themselves in a release
-	build.
-
-2004-01-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 883143] in file normalization
-
-2004-01-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* doc/file.n:
-	* generic/tclFCmd.c
-	* generic/tclTest.c
-	* library/init.tcl
-	* mac/tclMacFile.c
-	* tests/fileSystem.test: fix to [Bug 886352] where 'file copy
-	-force' had inconsistent behaviour wrt target files with
-	insufficient permissions, particular from vfs->native fs.
-	Behaviour of '-force' is now always consistent (and now
-	consistent with behaviour of 'file delete -force').  Added new
-	tests and documentation and cleaned up the 'simplefs' test
-	filesystem.
-
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c
-	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c
-	* unix/tclUnixFile.c
-	* win/tclWinFile.c: made native filesystems more robust to C code
-	which asks for mount lists.
-
-	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 886607] removing warning/error
-	with some compilers.
-
-2004-01-28  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclObj.c (SetBooleanFromAny): Rewrite to do more
-	efficient string->bool conversion.
-	Many other minor whitespace/style fixes to this file too.
-
-2004-01-27  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* win/nmakehlp.c: Use '.\nul' as the sourcefile name instead of
-	'nul' so VC 5.2 doesn't try searching the path for it and failing
-	with a possible dialogbox popping up about having to add a CD to
-	an empty drive.	 Also added a SetErrorMode() call to disable any
-	dialogs that cl.exe or link.exe might create.  [Bug 885537]
-
-2004-01-22  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* doc/file.n: clarified documentation of 'file system' [Bug 883825]
-	* tests/fCmd.test: improved test result in failure case.
-
-2004-01-22  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* tests/fileSystem.test: 3 new tests
-	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 879555] in file normalization.
-	* doc/filename.n: small clarification to Windows behaviour with
-	filenames like '.....', 'a.....', '.....a'.
-
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: slight improvement to native cwd caching
-	on Windows.
-
-2004-01-21  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
-
-	* doc/Panic.3:	Mentions of 'panic' and 'panicVA' removed from
-	the documentation.
-
-2004-01-21  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* doc/FileSystem.3:
-	* generic/tcl.decls:
-	* generic/tclCmdAH.c
-	* generic/tclDecls.h
-	* generic/tclFCmd.c
-	* generic/tclFileName.c
-	* generic/tclFileSystem.h
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c

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

+
+	* win/tcl.m4, win/configure: update MSVC CFLAGS_OPT to -O2, remove -Gs
+	(included in -O2) and -GD (outdated). Use "link -lib" instead of "lib"
+	binary and remove -YX for MSVC7 portability. Add -fomit-frame-pointer

+
+2004-12-29  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclDate.c: Regen
+	* generic/tclGetDate.y (TclDatelex): Fixed a problem where a
+	four-digit group with >=2 leading zeroes appeared to be a two-digit
+	group, leading to misinterpreting the time 0012 as 1200. [Bug 1090413]
+	* library/clock.tcl: Added code to interpret correctly months outside
+	the range 01-12 as reduced modulo 12 with a corresponding adjustment
+	to the year. [Bug 1092789]
+	* tests/clock.test: Added regression test cases for the above two bugs.
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Added --no-lines to the 'bison' command line to

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

+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
+	* generic/tclProc.c:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* generic/tclTest.c: Added two new functions to allocate memory from
+	the execution stack (TclStackAlloc, TclStackFree). Added functions
+	TclPushStackFrame and TclPopStackFrame that do the work of
+	Tcl_PushCallFrame and Tcl_PopCallFrame, but using frames allocated in
+	the execution stack - i.e., heap instead of C-stack. The core uses
+	these two new functions exclusively; the old ones remain for backwards
+	compat, as at least two popular extensions (itcl, xotcl) are known to
+	use them.
+
+2004-12-14  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclProc.c:
+	* generic/tclVar.c: changing the isProcCallFrame field of the
+	CallFrame struct from a 0/1 field to flags. Should be perfectly
+	backwards compatible.
+
+2004-12-14  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure.in: Added special processing to remove "$U" from
+	libraries in the LIBOBJS value. This is an auto-make-ism we need to
+	avoid. [Bug 1081541]
+
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57
+
+2004-12-13  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Restored extern "C" guards so that C++ code sees
+	function pointer typedef linkage consistent with earlier Tcl releases.
+	[Bug 1082349]
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Plugged some memory leaks. Thanks to Rolf Ade

+
+2004-12-12  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

+	[Bug 1084111] - thanks to Rolf Ade.
+
+2004-12-12  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+

+	* tools/tcl.wse.in, unix/tcl.spec, win/README.binary, README:
+	* win/configure.in, unix/configure.in, generic/tcl.h:
+	Bumped version number to 8.5a3 to distinguish HEAD of CVS development
+	from the recent 8.5a2 release.
+
+2004-12-10  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclInitCompiledLocals):
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:

+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclMakeEnsembleCmd, TclSetEnsemble*)
+	(TclSetEnsemble*, TclFindEnsemble): Build an internal API for creating
+	and manipulating ensembles; they can be deleted using the normal
+	command-deletion API.
+
+	* doc/Async.3: Reword for better grammar, better nroff and get the
+	flag name right. (Reported by David Welton.)
+
+2004-12-07  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test (2.1-4): Added constraints so that when a value
+	of TCL_LIBRARY is required for process initialization, we skip the
+	tests that mess with that value.
+
+2004-12-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	*** 8.5a2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: add library/{tzdata,msgs} to dist target (kbk)
+
+	* doc/foreach.n: Adjust tabs to be friendlier to some HTML
+	converters. [Bug 1078760]
+
+2004-12-06  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (NotifierThreadProc): init numFdBits
+	[Bug 1079286]

+	* doc/error.n, doc/SaveResult.3, doc/Thread.3: minor nroff typos
+
+2004-12-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/safe.test:	Trim auto_path to improve performance [1080039]
+
+	* tests/msgcat.test:	makeFile/removeFile cleanup [1079117]
+
+2004-12-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	Different fix for [Bug 1077005].
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:	Broke apart TclpSetInitialEncodings() on
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Windows into TclpSetInterfaces(), that is
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	fundamentally essential, and the initialization
+	* win/tclWinInit.c:	of the system encoding, which is not. Made
+	the TclpSetInterfaces call part of TclInitSubsystems so it cannot be
+	overlooked.
+
+2004-12-03  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* changes: updated for 8.5a2 release
+
+2004-12-02  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclSetProcessGlobalValue): Handle the case where
+	a ProcessGlobalValue might be assigned to itself.
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (MakeFileMap): Correct refcounting errors
+	managing values returned by TclPathPart (with refCount of 1!) that led
+	to a memory leak. [Bug 1077474].
+
+2004-12-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c:  fix and new tests for [Bug 1074671] to ensure
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: tilde paths are not returned specially by
+	'glob'.
+
+2004-12-02  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: Added a 'sed' in the setting of ROOT_DIR_NATIVE to
+	compensate for a bug in cygpath (at least version 1.36) that leaves a
+	trailing backslash on the end of the converted path.
+
+2004-12-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (Alias,Target,Master): Rewrote these so that the
+	aliases that refer to an interpreter are stored in a list and not a
+	hashtable (which was only ever a convenience, and forced the use of a
+	global mutex to generate keys!) [FRQ 1077210]
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (numNsCreated): Moved into thread-local storage
+	to remove a global mutex. [FRQ 1077210]
+
+2004-12-01  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetProcessGlobalValue): Narrowed the scope of
+	mutex locks.
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:		Updated Tcl_GetNameOfExecutable() to
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	make use of a ProcessGlobalValue for
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:		storing the executable name. Added
+	internal routines Tcl(Get|Set)ObjNameOfExecutable() to access that
+	storage in Tcl_Obj, rather than string format.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:	Rewrote TclpFindExecutable() to use
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:	TclSetObjNameOfExecutable to store the
+	executable name it computes.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Added internal stub entries for
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: TclpFindExecutable and
+	Tcl(Get|Set)ObjNameOfExecutable.
+
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:	Retrieve executable name in Tcl_Obj form
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:	instead of string form.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTest.c:	Update [testfindexecutable] command to use new
+	internal interfaces.
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	Moved TclpSetInitialEncodings() call
+	from Tcl_FindExecutable() into TclInitEncodingSubsystem(). This is
+	important on Windows where it establishes whether the "ascii" or
+	"unicode" set of system routines will be used, and that needs to be
+	done earlier to support filesystem operations. [Bug 1077005]
+
+2004-12-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/winDde.test: Rewritten to use tcltest2 features more
+	thoroughly (reducing the [catch] count!) and fix the problem with
+	winDde-6.1 being out of synch with the implementation.
+
+2004-11-30  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/init.tcl ([unknown]): Restored the save/restore of the
+	variables ::errorCode and ::errorInfo. This is needed when the
+	[::bgerror] command is auto-loaded (as it is by Tk).
+
+	Patch 976520 reworks several of the details involved with
+	startup/initialization of the Tcl library, focused on the activities
+	of Tcl_FindExecutable().
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c:	Removed bogus claim in comment that encoding
+	"iso8859-1" is "built-in" to Tcl.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Created a new struct ProcessGlobalValue,
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	routines Tcl(Get|Set)ProcessGlobalValue, and
+	function type TclInitProcessGlobalValueProc. Together, these take care
+	of the housekeeping for "values" (things that can be held in a
+	Tcl_Obj) that are global across a whole process. That is, they are
+	shared among multiple threads, and epoch and mutex protection must
+	govern the validity of cached copies maintained in each thread.
+
+	* generic/tclNotify.c:	Modified TclInitNotifier() to tolerate being
+	called multiple times in the same thread.
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:	Dropped the unused argv0 argument to
+	TclInitSubsystems(). Removed machinery to unsure only one
+	TclInitNotifier() call per thread, now that that is safe. Converted
+	Tcl(Get|Set)LibraryPath to use a ProcessGlobalValue, and moved them to
+	tclEncoding.c.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Updated caller.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	TclpFindExecutable now returns void.
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Built new encoding search initialization on a
+	foundation of ProcessGlobalValues, exposing new routines
+	Tcl(Get|Set)EncodingSearchPath. A cache of a map from encoding name to
+	directory pathname keeps track of where encodings are available for
+	loading. Tcl_FindExecutable greatly simplified into just three
+	function calls. The "library path" is now misnamed, as its only
+	remaining purpose is as a foundation for the default encoding search
+	path.
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Inlined the initScript that is evaluated by
+	Tcl_Init(). Added verification after initScript evaluation that Tcl
+	can find its installed *.enc files, and that it has initialized
+	[encoding system] in agreement with what the environment expects.
+	[tclInit] no longer driven by the value of $::tcl_libPath; it largely
+	constructs its own search path now, rather than attempt to share one
+	with the encoding system.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	TclpSetInitialEncodings factored so that a new
+	* win/tclWinInit.c:	routine TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment can
+	reveal that Tcl thinks the [encoding system] should be, even when an
+	incomplete encoding search path, or a missing *.enc file won't allow
+	that initialization to succeed. TclpInitLibraryPath reworked as an
+	initializer of a ProcessGlobalValue.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTest.c:	Update implementations of [testfindexecutable],
+	[testgetdefenc], and [testsetdefenc].
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test:	Corrected tests to operate properly even when
+	a value of TCL_LIBRARY is required to find encodings.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: New internal stubs: TclGetEncodingSearchPath,
+	TclSetEncodingSearchPath, TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment. These
+	are candidates for public exposure by future TIPs.
+
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c:	Updated [testencoding] to use
+	* tests/encoding.test:	Tcl(Get|Set)EncodingSearchPath.	 Updated tests.
+
+2004-11-30  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl: Corrected the regular expressions that match a
+	time zone to allow for time zones specified as +HH or -HH.
+	* tests/clock.test: Added regression test case for the above issue.
+	Thanks to Rolf Ade for reporting this issue [http://wiki.tcl.tk/13094]
+	* win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Corrected a typo that caused a
+	compilation failure on VC++.
+
+2004-11-29  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Brought entry '2004-10-26 Don
+	Porter (Tcl Modules)' into the windows world, actually the
+	win/configure buildsystem. The other windows buildsystems (.vc, .bc)
+	still have to be updated as well.
+
+2004-11-26  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinDde.c (ExecuteRemoteObject): Removed bogus semicolon found
+	at the end of the header for the function definition, terminating it
+	early and preventing a compile. This is likely a fix for '2004-11-25
+	Donal'. I have to conclude that it is also unknown if the other
+	changes to this file actually pass the testsuite. Running testsuite
+	... They don't. winDde-6.1 fails. This is only a message discrepance,
+	i.e. not too bad. Leaving resolution of that to Pat and Donal.
+
+2004-11-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary): Made sure the uniquifying
+	operations on the search path does not also normalize. [Bug 1072136]
+
+2004-11-26  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/configure.in: Simplify the code to check for correctness of
+	strstr, strtoul and strtod.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_TCL_CHECK_BROKEN_FUNC): Split a complex stanza out
+	of configure.in into its own function. Also force it to do the right
+	thing with cacheing of results of AC_TRY_RUN to deal with issue raised
+	in [Patch 1073524]
+
+	* doc/foreach.n: Added simple example. [FRQ 1073334]
+
+2004-11-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProc):	    Make it so that only
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs): [proc] instances do
+	* tests/indexObj.test (indexObj-5.7):	    quoting of their first
+	arguments, so keeping [Bug 942757] fixed and making [Bug 1066837] be
+	fixed as well. Done with a load of #ifdef-ery because this hack is so
+	ugly nobody should keep it around once Itcl's fixed.
+
+2004-11-25  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test: The order in which [glob] returns the file names
+	is undefined, so tests should not depend on it.
+
+2004-11-25  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/Thread.3:
+	* doc/Notifier.3: Added changes from the core-8-4-branch
+
+2004-11-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/dde.n: Synchronized the documentation of the commands with the
+	header of the docs and what the package actually does. Thanks to
+	Andreas Kupries for spotting this.
+	* win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Much cleanup of argument parsing
+	code.
+
+2004-11-24  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclPort.h: Relative include of tclWinPort.h returned as it
+	was requiring me set -I$(tcl_root)/win for my extensions that need to
+	include tclInt.h and doesn't appear to serve any purpose for windows
+	builds.
+
+2004-11-24  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Corrected bad check for 3-argument
+	readdir_r [Bug 1001325].
+	* unix/configure: Regenerated.
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: Corrected all uses of 'select' to manage their
+	masks using the FD_CLR, FD_ISSET, FD_SET, and FD_ZERO macros rather
+	than bit-whacking that failed under Solaris-Sparc-64.  [Bug 1071807]
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Removed unused vars 'pathc'
+	and 'pathv' that caused compilation problems on VC++ with
+	--enable-symbols.
+
+2004-11-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Corrected failure to determine the
+	number of arguments for readdir_r on SunOS systems.  [Bug 1071701]
+
+	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.57
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoVarsCmd):	Corrected segfault in new
+	* tests/info.test (info-19.6):	trivial matching branch [Bug 1072654]
+
+2004-11-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tools/man2html.tcl, tools/man2html1.tcl: Update to use Tcl 8.4.
+	* tools/man2html2.tcl: Fix broken .SS handling.
+
+2004-11-23  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Add (commented-out) code to integrate tclConfig.h
+	into the dependency tree and 'make distclean'. [Bug 1068171]
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_AppendResultVA): Remove call to
+	Tcl_GetStringResult to speed up repeated calls to Tcl_AppendResult
+	with the side effect that code that wants to access interp->result
+	should always call Tcl_GetStringResult first. See [Patch 1041072]
+	discussion for more details.
+
+2004-11-22  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_TCL_64BIT_FLAGS): Define HAVE_TYPE_OFF64_T
+	only when off64_t, open64(), and lseek64() are defined.
+	IRIX 5.3 is known to not include an open64 function.
+	[Bug 1030465]
+
+2004-11-22  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Check for a 2 argument version of
+	readdir_r that is known to exists under IRIX 5.3.
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpReaddir): Use either 2 arg or 3 arg version
+	of readdir_r. [Bug 1001325]
+
+2004-11-22  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Purged dead code that used
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):  to extend the "library
+	path". Search path construction for init.tcl is now done within the
+	[tclInit] proc.
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Restored several directories to the search
+	* tests/unixInit.test:	path used to locate init.tcl within [tclInit].
+	This change does not restore any directories to the encoding search
+	path, so should still avoid the price of an unreasonably large number
+	of filesystem accesses during encoding initialization at startup
+	[Bug 976438]
+
+2004-11-22  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix and new test for [Bug 1043129] in the
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: treatment of backslashes in file join on
+	Windows.
+
+2004-11-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/AddErrInfo.3:	Typo corrections (Thanks Daniel South).
+	* doc/interp.n:
+
+2004-11-19  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/AddErrInfo.3:	Docs for Tcl_(Get|Set)ReturnOptions.  [TIP 227]
+
+	* doc/AddErrInfo.3:
+	* doc/Async.3:		Documentation updates to replace references
+	* doc/BackgdErr.3:	to global variable ::errorInfo and ::errorCode
+	* doc/SaveResult.3:	and to the ::bgerror command with references
+	* doc/after.n:		to their preferred replacements, the
+	* doc/bgerror.n:	-errorinfo and -errorcode return options,
+	* doc/error.n:		the Tcl_*InterpState routines, and the
+	* doc/exec.n:		[interp bgerror] command.
+	* doc/exit.n:
+	* doc/fileevent.n:
+	* doc/interp.n:
+	* doc/return.n:
+	* doc/tclvars.n:
+	* doc/update.n:
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test: Removed "knownBug" constraints to prompt bug
+	fixing before 8.5a2 release.
+
+2004-11-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Makefile:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (MacOSXGetLibraryPath): changed detection of tcl
+	framework build when determining tclLibPath from overloaded
+	TCL_LIBRARY to configuration define TCL_FRAMEWORK. [Bug 1068088]
+
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57
+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.57
+
+2004-11-18  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/SaveResult.3:	Documentation for Tcl_*InterpState (TIP 226).
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors):	Simplified program flow.
+
+	* tests/basic.test:	Updated functional (not testing) uses of
+	* tests/io.test:	[bgerror] to make use of [interp bgerror].
+	* tests/socket.test:
+	* tests/timer.test:
+
+	* tests/interp.test (interp-36.*):	[interp bgerror] tests.
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Corrected [interp bgerror] error messages.
+
+2004-11-18  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES): Applied an improved version of
+	* unix/configure.in:		    [Patch 996085], that introduces
+	* unix/Makefile.in:		    --enable-man-suffix.
+
+	* unix/installManPage:		    added
+	* unix/mkLinks.tcl:		    removed
+	* unix/mkLinks:			    removed
+	* unix/configure:		    generated
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:		    Don't install tclConfig.h .
+
+2004-11-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure.in: The change below reveals that the public data
+	type Tcl_StatBuf relies on config information.  For now, disabled the
+	use of the tclConfig.h file until its full impact on Tcl's interface
+	can be assessed.
+
+	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.57
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Moved the #include "tclConfig.h" out of
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	tcl.h.	The config settings are not part of
+	* generic/tclPort.:	the public interface, and having it there
+	breaks compiled against uninstalled Tcl and extensions using
+	autoconf-2.5*.
+
+2004-11-16  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtySetOptionProc): fixed crash configuring
+	-ttycontrol on a channel. [Bug 1067708]
+
+2004-11-16  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclFSEpochOk): There were two code paths via
+	which the thread copy of filesystemEpoch could be synched with the
+	master copy, but only one kept the filesystem list cache up to date.
+	Fix routes everything through a single code path. [Bug 1035775].
+
+2004-11-16  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Stop architecture flags to 'ld' from
+	getting lost when [load] is disabled. [Bug 1016796]
+
+2004-11-16  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* unix/configure.in: changed HAVE_CONFIG_H to HAVE_TCL_CONFIG_H.
+
+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.57
+
+2004-11-15  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Added comment warning that the old ERR_IN_PROGRESS
+	and ERROR_CODE_SET flag values should not be re-used for the sake of
+	those extensions that have accessed them.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd): Fixed Bug 1065378 which failed
+	* tests/trace.test (trace-33.1):	to permit a variable trace
+	created with [trace variable] to be destroyed with [trace remove].
+	Thanks to Keith Vetter for the report.
+
+2004-11-15  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/tclvars.n: Added section to documentation on global variables
+	that are specific to tclsh and wish. [Patch 1065732]
+
+2004-11-12  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (TableFromUtfProc): correct crash condition
+	when TCL_UTF_MAX == 6. [Bug 1004065]
+
+2004-11-12  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/interp.n: Basic documentation of the TIP#221 API.
+
+2004-11-12  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	TIP #221 IMPLEMENTATION

+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	make genstubs
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+
+	* unix/tclAppInit.c:	Removed tclConfig.h #include, now that tcl.h
+				takes care of it for us.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Moved verification of ptrdiff_t typedef from
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: multiple .c files into one common header where
+	* generic/tclVar.c:	it is verifiably after tclConfig.h inclusion.
+
+2004-11-12  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* unix/Makefile.in: include tclConfig.h from tcl.h and install it as a
+	public header. Normalized compiler include path order to
+	-I${BUILD_DIR} -I${UNIX_DIR} -I${GENERIC_DIR}.
+
+	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: add ${BUILD_DIR}/.. to include path to pick
+	up tclConfig.h.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: moved check for HAVE_CFBUNDLE define after
+	#include "tclInt.h" to ensure tclConfig.h has been included.
+
+2004-11-12  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* unix/config.h.in:
+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in:	renamed
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	Completed support for config header,
+	* unix/configure.in:	fixed building outside of the unix dir,

+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+
+	* unix/configure:	generated
+
+2004-11-12  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/config.h.in:	Allow configure to put all the C #defs into
+	* unix/configure.in:	a file (called config.h) so that Unix builds
+	* unix/tcl.m4:		now take far fewer lines of scrollback to
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	proceed (making it less likely that any errors
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	or warnings will get missed).
+	* unix/tclAppInit.c:	Part of the TIP#34 upgrades.
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4, unix/tclUnixPort.h: Check for pthread_attr_get_np in
+	<pthread.h> before forcing the use of <pthread_np.h> to make things
+	work on NetBSD 2.0. [Bug 1064882]
+
+	* doc/binary.n, doc/upvar.n: More minor fixes.
+
+2004-11-12  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2004-11-11  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test:
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TraverseUnixTree): added option to rewind() the
+	readdir() loop whenever the source hierarchy has been modified by
+	traverseProc (e.g. by deleting files); this is required to ensure
+	complete traversal of the source hierarchy on certain filesystems like
+	HFS+. Added test for failing recursive delete on Mac OS X that was due
+	to this. [Bug 1034337]
+
+	* generic/tclListObj.c (Tcl_ListObjReplace): use memmove() instead of
+	manual copy loop to shift list elements. Decreases time spent in
+	Tcl_ListObjReplace() from 5.2% to 1.7% of overall runtime of tclbench
+	on a ppc 7455 (i.e. 200% speed increase). [Patch 1064243]
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c: hoisted some constant pointer dereferences out of
+	loops to eliminate redundant loads that the gcc optimizer didn't deal
+	with. Decreases time spend in Tcl_FindHashEntry() by 10% over a full
+	run of the tcl testuite on a ppc 7455. [Patch 1064243]
+
+	* tests/fileName.test:
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:
+	* tests/io.test:
+	* tests/msgcat.test:
+	* tests/tcltest.test:
+	* tests/unixInit.test: fixed bugs causing failures when running tests
+	with -tmpdir arg not set to working dir.
+
+	* macosx/Makefile: corrected path to html help inside framework.
+	Prevent parallel make from building several targets at the same time.
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c (struct fileinfobuf): force struct to be
+	packed to prevent failures when builing with -malign=natural.
+
+2004-11-10  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: [Bug 727786]. Exterminated the code marked
+	DEPRECATED. This code has not been used in over a year now, and we
+	have no complaints.
+
+2004-11-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c: The pipe channel driver now respects the -blocking
+	option when closing is the same way the UNIX side works. This is to
+	avoid a hung shell when exiting due to open pipes that refuse to close
+	in a graceful manner.
+	* doc/open.n: Added a note about -blocking 0 and lack of exit status
+	as it had never been documented. [Bug 947693]
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+
+	Scripts that use async pipes on windows, must (like the UNIX side) set
+	-blocking to 1 before calling [close] to receive the exit status.
+
+2004-11-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tests/winFile.test: added contraint to winFile-4.0 to prevent it
+	being run on NT4 [Bug 981829]
+
+2004-11-05  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/reg.test: Major reorganization so that this file is much
+	easier for a normal Tcl maintainer to comprehend.  The test flags are
+	still very cryptic, but they appear to have to be that way. The number
+	of skipped tests has increased, but now the skipped tests have much
+	more meaningful content.
+
+	* tests/tm.test (genpaths): Add a [file normalize] so we pick up
+	Windows drive letters, etc. [Bug 1053568]
+
+2004-11-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes:	Updates toward an 8.5a2 release.
+
+2004-11-03  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl (FreeScan): Fixed a bug where scanning "Monday"
+	with a base time other than midnight incorrectly carried the base time
+	forward.
+
+	* test/clock.test (clock-33.{5,5a}): Made the test failure more
+	informative.
+
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-34.{28,44,45,46}): Removed 'knownBug'
+	constraints from tests that no longer fail.
+
+	Thanks to Don Porter for reporting these.
+
+2004-11-03  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:		Moved the preprocessor logic
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:		from tclInt.h of setting the
+	* generic/tclInt.h:		TCL_STORAGE_CLASS macro to the
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:	tcl*Decls.h files now that no
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:	use of EXTERN is left in tclInt.h.
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:	Proto for Tcl_Main moved in tcl.h
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:		to prior the inclusion of the Stubs
+	headers as they are now resetting TCL_STORAGE_CLASS. Removed
+	extraineous reset from tclWinPort.h.  [Patch 1055668]
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: Removed extrainious reset of TCL_STORAGE_CLASS
+	missed in my last edit.
+
+2004-11-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/init.tcl ([unknown]): Corrections to the 2004-10-25 mods to
+	Aunt ??? in [unknown]. Flaws revealed by Itcl test suite, which still
+	apparently relies on this brokenness. Also added comment suggesting
+	the error message that any code using this hack *ought* to receive in
+	reply.
+
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TclCallVarTraces):  Improved ability to debug
+	* tests/incr-old.test (incr-old-2.6):	  errors during variable
+	* tests/incr.test (incr-{1,2}.28):	  traces by preserving the
+	* tests/set.test (set-{2,4}.4):		  -errorinfo data.
+	* tests/trace.test (trace-33.1):	  [Bug 527164]
+
+2004-11-02  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: added a check for #ifdef __cplusplus around the
+	#define of MODULE_SCOPE. About the only time it would be problem is
+	when someone is statically linking to Tcl and accessing internals from
+	a C++ file and has name mangling issues from the lack of "C" after
+	'extern' [Patch 1055668].
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: Exchanged use of the EXTERN macro to the new
+	MODULE_SCOPE macro. Lowered exported internals count by 35. [Patch
+	1055668]
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: exported internals dropped by a count of 14.
+	* generic/tclFileSystem.h: Added use of MODULE_SCOPE on protos.
+	* generic/tclRegexp.h: manipulating TCL_STORAGE_CLASS unnecessary.
+
+2004-11-02  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:		Corrected some misleading
+	* tests/tcltest.test (tcltest-26.1,2):	displays of ::errorInfo and
+	::errorCode information when the -setup, -body, and/or -cleanup scripts
+	return an unexpected return code.  Thanks to Robert Seeger for the
+	fix. [RFE 1017151].
+
+2004-11-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Improved version of the
+	NaN fix from Miguel Sofer. [Bug 761471]
+
+2004-11-02  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/tzdata/America/Cuiaba: Change to DST rules for
+	* library/tzdata/America/Havana: autumn of 2004.
+	[ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2004g.tar.gz]
+
+	* tools/tclZIC.tcl: Updated to be compatible with recent changes in
+	library/clock.tcl.
+
+2004-11-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: Simplify TclpUtime to use Tcl_FSGetNativePath, and
+	add comments.
+
+2004-11-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Change uses of EXTERN to MODULE_SCOPE (defined in
+	this file too to be 'extern' if not overridden) as nothing declared in
+	tclInt.h is supposed to be visible outside the Tcl core. If there *is*
+	anything that extensions are actually using, we can open this up later
+	on. [Patch 1055668]
+
+	* doc/CrtChannel.3 (Tcl_GetChannelMode): Add synopsis. [Bug 1058446]
+
+2004-11-01  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (FromCTime, TclpUtime): Replaced a call to the
+	Posix 'utime' function with calls to Windows-API equivalents, to avoid
+	a bug where the VC++ versions misconvert times across a Daylight
+	Saving Time boundary. [Bug 926106]
+	* win/tclWinInt.h (TclWinProcs):
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (asciiProcs, unicodeProcs): Removed now-unused
+	reference to 'utime'.
+	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-24.12): Added test case for the above bug.
+
+2004-11-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Make INST_EQ and friends
+	handle NaN correctly in all cases. [Bug 761471]
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceInscopeCmd): Make the error message
+	generation the same as in NamespaceEvalCmd().
+	(Tcl_Import): Rationalized to use Tcl_EvalObjv().
+
+2004-10-31  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/io.test (io-40.3): Convert umask2 test constraint into a form
+	that most people will be able to satisfy.
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-8.45): Removed broken test constraint. It
+	didn't do what it was intended to do, and it implied the other correct
+	constraint. [Bug 1053908]
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoGlobalsCmd):
+	* tests/info.test (info-8.4): Strip leading global-namespace
+	specifiers from the pattern argument. [Bug 1057461]
+
+2004-10-30  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/clock.c: Replaced WIN32 macro with __WIN32__. [Bug 1054357].
+	Thanks to David Gravereaux for the patch.
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: Removed a long-standing bug that causes incorrect
+	conversion between file time and UTC time if the file time is recorded
+	in a different Daylight Saving Time status than the current one. [Bug
+	926106]
+
+2004-10-29  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Correct reaction to errors in the
+	obsolete processCmdLineArgsHook.	[Bug 1055673]
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:	Bump to tcltest 2.2.7
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* tests/all.tcl:	Update to use [tcltest::configure].
+
+2004-10-29  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::*): Use the core proc engine to generate
+	the wrong-num-args error messages for the path ensemble.
+
+	Ensembles can now (sometimes) rewrite the error messages of their
+	subcommands so they appear more like the arguments that the user
+	passed to the ensemble. Below is a description of changes involved in
+	doing this.
+
+	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-50.*): Tests of ensemble subcommand
+	error message rewriting.
+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProc): Make procedures implement
+	their wrong-num-args message using Tcl_WrongNumArgs instead of
+	something baked-at-home.
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclIsEnsemble, NsEnsembleImplementationCmd):
+	Added test of ensemble-hood (available to rest of core) and made
+	ensembles set up the rewriting for Tcl_WrongNumArgs to take advantage
+	of.
+	* generic/tclInt.h (Interp.ensembleRewrite): Extra fields.
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs): Add knowledge of what is
+	going on in ensembles' command rewriting so this command can generate
+	the right error message itself.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp, TclEvalObjvInternal): Added
+	code to initialize (as empty) the rewriting fields and reset them when
+	we leak outside an ensemble implementation.
+
+2004-10-28  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_START_CMD):
+	* tests/execute.test (execute-8.3): fix for execution stack corruption
+	[Bug 1055676]. Credit dgp for detective work and fix.
+
+2004-10-27  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/socket.test (socket-13.1):	Balanced [makeFile] and
+	[removeFile] commands.
+
+	* tests/clock.test:	Correct duplicate test names.
+	* tests/namespace.test:
+	* tests/string.test:
+	* tests/io.test (io-50.4):	Use namespace variables.
+
+2004-10-27  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:	  The following 9 functions were moved from
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	  tclInt.h to the private/int Stubs table for
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:  use by the test suite.  As tclTest.obj is
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:  linked to the shell, these functions need
+	"blessed" status so as to always be exported from the library. Being
+	placed in the Stubs table guarantees this [Bug 1054748]:
+		TclpObjRemoveDirectory,	TclpObjCopyDirectory,
+		TclpObjCreateDirectory,	TclpObjDeleteFile,
+		TclpObjCopyFile,	TclpObjRenameFile,
+		TclpObjStat,		TclpObjAccess,
+		TclpOpenFileChannel
+
+	* tests/registry.test:	Fixed test files to load the correct
+	* tests/winDde.test:	registry and dde packages by using the info
+	* win/Makefile.in:	from makefiles to tell tcltest where to load
+	* win/makefile.vc:	them from.  This avoids grabbing the wrong
+	package from $auto_path which might be the install point rather than
+	the dev location.  Kudos to Jennifer Hom for adding -load and
+	-loadfile to the tcltest package. [Bug 926088]
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclFinalizeLock): release the critical section
+	before deleting it. [Bug 731778]
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Removed the file level 'extern "C" {' and the
+	coresponding closing block as it serves no purpose given that all the
+	function prototypes have the proper extern usage already.
+
+	* unix/tclAppInit.c:	When built as tcltest, TclThread_Init was
+	* win/tclAppInit.c:	getting called twice.  First by Tcltest_Init,
+	then again in Tcl_AppInit. The call from Tcl_AppInit is now removed.
+
+2004-10-27  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* tests/tm.test:  Expanded on the testsuite entered by Donal.
+	* library/tm.tcl: Even found bugs, these have been corrected.
+
+2004-10-26  Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/format.test (format-19.1): Additional regression test for [Bug
+	868489].
+
+2004-10-27  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/*.n: Many small general documentation fixes.
+
+2004-10-26  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCleanupChildren): bad cast of resolvedPid
+	caused PIDs on win95 to go negative. winpipe-4.2 brought this to the
+	surface. Fixed with sprintf in place of TclFormatInt. Thanks to hgiese
+	[Patch 767676]
+
+2004-10-26  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::Defaults): Added a second [file dirname]
+	around the location of the executable. This fixes [Bug 1038705].
+	Instable of a bogus "foo/bin/lib" we now have the correct "foo/lib" as
+	a base path for modules.
+
+2004-10-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_SubstObj):	Fix for failed subst-12.3 test.
+	* tests/subst.test (subst-12.3-5):	More tests for Bug 1036649.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Updated the installation of
+	the http, msgcat, and tcltest packages to install as Tcl Modules on
+	Unix systems.  Other platform Makefiles still need updating. [Patch
+	1054370]
+
+	* tests/basic.test:	Added missing constraints.
+	* tests/compile.test:
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:
+
+	* tests/init.test (init-2.8):	Updated to not rely on http package.
+
+2004-10-26  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclVar.c: removed more direct references to the VAR flags,
+	replaced with access macros.
+
+2004-10-26  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/expr.n: Clarified that non-num/non-bool literals require
+	quoting. [Bug 1027849]. Also listed booleans as acceptable values.
+
+2004-10-26  Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl (FreeScan): Fixed a bug that caused relative days
+	of the week in free-form [clock scan] to be evaluated in the wrong
+	time zone.
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-31.[456]): Made sure that there isn't an
+	env(TZ) or env(TCL_TZ) lying around that will override the time zone
+	that we're trying to establish with the simulated registry.
+	Both problems reported as [Bug 1054101].
+
+2004-10-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/string.n (map): Rewrote to clarify that we don't just map single
+	characters. [Bug 1048005]
+	* doc/info.n (procs): Clarified that the pattern argument may have
+	namespace separators in it. [Bug 1047928]
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-8.45): Simplify in the hope that the reasons
+	for [Bug 1053908] will become clearer.
+
+2004-10-25  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (IllegalExprOperandType,TclExecuteByteCode):
+	Removed several DECACHE_INFO/CACHE_INFO pairs that are no longer
+	needed for protection because routines like Tcl_SetErrorCode() and
+	Tcl_AddErrorInfo() can no longer re-enter bytecode execution.
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclProcessReturn): Bug fix.  Be sure that a
+	missing -errorinfo option when code == TCL_ERROR causes the errorInfo
+	field to get reset.
+
+	* tests/thread.test (thread-4.4): Test depended on a ::errorInfo value
+	initialized to "". Added code to test to setup that requirement.
+
+	* library/auto.tcl:	Purged Tcl's script library of all
+	* library/clock.tcl:	remaining references to global vars
+	* library/init.tcl:	::errorInfo and ::errorCode.
+
+	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main): Updated to make use of
+	TclGetReturnOptions instead of ::errorInfo variable.
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (tclInit): Bug fix. Access dict variables with
+	[dict get], not array syntax.
+
+2004-10-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/tm.test: Rewrote the tests to actually perform syntax checks
+	on the public API. Added a new test (currently failing) to indicate
+	that the test suite is not complete yet.
+	* library/tm.tcl (path): Rewrote to turn this command into an ensemble
+	to make it faster and simpler.
+
+2004-10-24  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclTrace.c: defined new macros to get/set the flags of
+	variables. The only files that still access the flag values directly
+	are tclCompCmds.c, tclCompile.c, tclProc.c and tclVar.c
+
+2004-10-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_LogCommandInfo,Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo): Shift
+	the initialization of errorCode to NONE to more central location.
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (BgError,Tcl_BackgroundError,HandleBgErrors):
+	Rewrite to build on the new TclGet/SetReturnOptions routines.
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclGetReturnOptions): Add call to
+	Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo to be sure error fields are initialized.
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclTransferResult): Rewrite to build on the new
+	TclGet/SetReturnOptions routines.
+
+2004-10-22  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/tm.n: Tightened up the documentation.
+	* tests/tm.test: Created (with partially dummy content) so TIP#189 can
+	be marked Final.
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NsEnsembleImplementationCmd): Make ensembles
+	cut their implementations out of error traces. This is the right thing
+	to do more often than not.
+
+2004-10-22  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* library/clock.tcl: Fixed a typo where the fallback time zone became
+	::localtime instead of :localtime. Fixed a bug where time zone names
+	containing hyphens could not be loaded.
+	* tests/clock.test: Added regression test cases that covers both bugs.
+	Thanks to Todd M. Helfter <tmh@jumpgate.itsp.purdue.edu> for finding
+	these bugs.
+
+2004-10-22  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj, Tcl_ExprObj):
+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclProcCompileProc): Always call object
+	freeIntRepProc's in the same way.
+
+2004-10-22  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: fixed bug in commit of 2004-07-23, which was
+	causing a leak of Proc structures and failure of compile-12.1. Two
+	lines were 'zombies' from the previous way localVarNames worked.
+	Credit dgp for finding this.
+
+2004-10-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (Interp):
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp,Tcl_DeleteInterp):
+	* generic/tclResult.c (GetKeys,ReleaseKeys,etc.): Moved the key values
+	of the return options dictionary out of private fields of the Interp
+	struct and into thread-static values managed in tclResult.c.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_CatchObjCmd, Tcl_ErrorObjCmd): Updated to
+	call the new TclGet/SetReturnOptions routines to do much of their
+	work.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclGetReturnOptions,TclSetReturnOptions):
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclGetReturnOptions,TclSetReturnOptions): New
+	utility routines to get/set the return options of an interp. Intent is
+	that these routines will be converted to public routines after TIP
+	approval.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclProcessReturn,TclMergeReturnOptions):
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclProcessReturn,TclMergeReturnOptions): Move
+	internal utility routines from tclCmdMZ.c to tclResult.c.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp, Tcl_DeleteInterp):
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclTransferResult): Rework so that
+	iPtr->returnOpts can be NULL when there are no special options.
+
+	* generic/tclResult.c (TclRestoreInterpState): Plug potential memory
+	leak.
+
+2004-10-21  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Various changes to [clock format] that,
+	* generic/tclClock.c: together, make it roughly twice as fast
+	* generic/tclInt.h:   while all tests in the test suite
+	* library/clock.tcl:  continue to pass.
+
+2004-10-20  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in (install-msgs):   Fixed a problem with the
+	* win/Makefile.in (install-tzdata): installation of timezone data and
+	message catalogs. They used the installed tcl library directory, not
+	the source library. Before it was installed. Switched to source lib
+	dir. Thanks to Kevin for the help in figuring this out.
+
+2004-10-20  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (ThreadEventProc): Corrected subtle bug
+	where the returned (char *) from Tcl_GetStringResult(interp) continued
+	to be used without copying or refcounting, while activity on the
+	interp continued.  That's not safe, and recent changes demonstrated
+	the lack of safety with failing tests thread-4.3 and thread-4.5.
+
+2004-10-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictWithCmd): Make sure all paths (that are
+	not themselves error paths) do not lose the result code.
+

+	* generic/tclInt.h (Tcl*InterpState):		New internal routines
+	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl*InterpState):	TclSaveInterpState,
+	TclRestoreInterpState, and TclDiscardInterpState are superior
+	replacements for Tcl_(Save|Restore|Discard)Result. Intent is that
+	these routines will be converted to public routines after TIP
+	approval. Interfaces for these routines were shamelessly stolen from
+	Itcl.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal):
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictUpdateCmd, DictWithCmd):
+	* generic/tclIOGT.c (ExecuteCallback):
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (Trace*Proc,TclCheck*Traces,TclCallVarTraces):
+	Callers of Tcl_*Result updated to call the new routines. The calls
+	were relocated in several cases to perform save/restore operations
+	only when needed.
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors):
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c (CopyRenameOneFile): Calls to Tcl_*Result that
+	were eliminated because they appeared to serve no useful purpose,
+	typically saving/restoring an error message, only to throw it away.

+
+2004-10-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+

+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory): Simplify by removing
+	some nesting. Also standardize variable names.
+	(FsAddMountsToGlobResult): Force updates to the list to be done
+	in-place, putting a side-condition of non-shared-ness on the resultPtr
+	argument to Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory, but everything would have broken

+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (LoadTableEncoding): Removed reference to Tcl

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

+	* tests/clock.test (clock-34.*,clock-40.1, clock-41.1): Adjusted the
+	clock-34.* test cases so that the consistency check is performed in
+	:localtime rather than the current time zone.  This change allows
+	dealing with issues where the C library has a different idea of DST
+	conversion than Tcl. (Real fix would be to break TclGetDate into

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

+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:	    Correct threaded obj allocator to
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	    fully cleanup on exit and allow for
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: reinitialization. [Bug 736426]

+
+2004-07-21  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc):
+	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclCleanupLiteralTable):
+	* generic/tclInt.h: added a TclCleanupLiteralTable function, called
+	from DeleteInterpProc, that frees internal representations of shared
+	literals early when an interpreter is being deleted.  This change
+	corrects a number of memory mismanagement issues in the cases where
+	the internal representation of one literal contains a reference to
+	another, and avoids conditions such as resolved variable names
+	referring to procedure and namespace contexts that no longer exist.
+	[Bug 994838]
+
+2004-07-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* win/Makefile.in: added 'install-private-headers' makefile target to
+	allow optionally installing private tcl headers. [FR 922727]
+
+	* macosx/Makefile: use new 'install-private-headers' target to install
+	private headers into framework. [FR 922727]
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c (NativeMatchType): added support for readonly
+	matching of user immutable files (where available).
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c: dynamically acquire address for
+	CFBundleOpenBundleResourceMap symbol, since it is only present in full
+	CoreFoundation on Mac OS X and not in CFLite on pure Darwin.
+
+2004-07-19  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
+
+	* win/tclwinThrd.c: redefined MASTER_LOCK to call TclpMasterLock.
+	Fixes [Bug 987967]
+
+2004-07-17  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to rare 'cd' infinite loop in normalization
+	with vfs [Bug 991420].
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: added test for above bug.
+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: clarified documentation of posix error codes in
+	'remove directory' FS proc - 'EEXIST' is used to signify a non-empty
+	directory error (bug reported against tclvfs).
+
+2004-07-16  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in, unix/tcl.m4:     move (C|LD)FLAGS after their
+	* unix/configure.in, unix/configure: _DEFAULT to allow for env setting
+	to override m4 switches.  Move SC_MISSING_POSIX_HEADERS up and
+	consolidate calls to limit redundancy in configure.
+	(CFLAGS_WARNING): Remove -Wconversion
+	(SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Set m4 to force threaded build when built against
+	a threaded Tcl core.
+
+2004-07-16  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Corrected a typo in the
+	generation of error messages and simplified by reusing data in a
+	variable instead of retrieving the string again. Fixes [Bug 835289].
+
+	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Added description of the behaviour of
+	Tcl_ReadChars when its 'charsToRead' argument is set to -1. Fixes [Bug
+	934511].
+
+	* doc/CrtCommand.3: Added note that the arguments given to the command
+	proc of a Tcl_CreateCommand are in utf8 since Tcl 8.1. Closing [Patch
+	414778].
+
+	* doc/ChnlStack.3: Removed the declaration that the interp argument to
+	Tcl_(un)StackChannel can be NULL. This fixes [Bug 881220], reported by
+	Marco Maggi <marcomaggi@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+	* tests/socket.test: Accepted two new testcases by Stuart Casoff
+	<stwo@users.sourceforge.net> checking that -server and -async don't go
+	together [Bug 796534].
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (NotifierThreadProc): Accepted Joe Mistachkin's
+	patch for [Bug 990500], properly closing the notifier thread when its
+	exits.
+
+2004-07-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpFinalizeMutex): Accepted Joe Mistachkin's
+	patch for [Bug 990453], closing leakage of mutexes. They were not
+	destroyed properly upon finalization.
+
+2004-07-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.h (CHANNEL_INCLOSE):	   New flag. Set in
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_UnregisterChannel): 'Tcl_Close' while the
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Close):		   close callbacks are
+	run. Checked in 'Tcl_Close' and 'Tcl_Unregister' to prevent recursive
+	call of 'close' in the close-callbacks. This is a possible error made
+	by implementors of virtual filesystems based on 'tclvfs', thinking
+	that they have to close the channel in the close handler for the
+	filesystem.
+
+2004-07-14  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c:
+	* generic/tclIO.h:
+	* Not reverting, but #ifdef'ing the changes from May 19, 2004 out of
+	the core. This removes the ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for channel
+	drivers it introduced. This has become possible due to Expect gaining
+	a BlockModeProc and now handling blockingg and non-blocking modes
+	correctly. Thus [SF Tcl Bug 943274] is still fixed if a recent enough
+	version of Expect is used.
+
+	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Added warning about usage of a channel without a
+	BlockModeProc.
+
+2004-07-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@pliers.activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_PutsObjCmd): Added length check to the old
+	depreceated newline syntax, to ensure that only "nonewline" is
+	accepted. [Tcl SF Bug 985869], reported by Joe Mistachkin
+	<mistachkin@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+2004-07-15  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): stuffed memory leak incurred by
+	re-initializing of TSD slots after the last call to
+	TclFinalizeThreadData (done from within Tcl_FinalizeThread()). We
+	basically just repeat the TclFinalizeThreadData() once more before
+	tearing down TSD keys in TclFinalizeSynchronization(). There should be
+	more elaborate mechanism in place for handling such issues, based on
+	thread cleanup handlers registered on the OS level. Such change
+	requires much more work and would also require TIP because some
+	visible parts of Tcl API would have to be modified. In the meantime,
+	this will do.
+
+	* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): Added conditional
+	notifier finalization based on the fact that an TclInitNotifier has
+	been called for the current thread. This fixes the [Bug 770053] again.
+	Hopefully this time w/o unwanted side-effects.
+
+2004-07-15  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): Removed unused variable
+	'codePtr' to silence a message from VC++.
+
+2004-07-15  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript):
+	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): fix for [Bug 467523],
+	which resurfaced with the latest changes. The previous strategy was to
+	have special code in TclReleaseLiteral to handle the self-references
+	generated by empty scripts. The new approach avoids the self-reference
+	altogether, by having empty scripts return an unshared literal.
+
+2004-07-15  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (NewThreadProc): Backout of changes to fix the
+	[Bug 770053]. See SF bugreport for more info.
+
+2004-07-11  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalEx): leak fix by dgp, release
+	objv[objectsUsed] on error.
+
+2004-07-11  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_SubstObj): leak fix by dgp, release result
+	on error.
+
+2004-07-11  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (BuildEnsembleConfig): Don't forget to clean out
+	references when deleting the hash table.
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (Tcl_DictObjRemoveKeyList): Oops, forgot to
+	delete value object when removing the hash entry. [Bug 989093 in part]
+
+2004-07-11  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): fixed leak of expandNestList objs when
+	there is an error while an expansion is in progress (code added at
+	checkForCatch).
+
+2004-07-11  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to 'cd' bug when vfs is active [tclvfs Bug
+	986944] - this bug recently introduced by some threading fixes. Need
+	to work out how to add tests for this.
+
+2004-07-10  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-2.11): Changed the test so that it isn't an
+	infinite loop when run under valgrind on a slow virtual machine.
+	Thanks to Miguel Sofer for the bug report. Also put in code to restore
+	env(LC_TIME) after tests complete, silencing a warning from 'make
+	TESTFLAGS="-debug 1" test'.
+
+2004-07-08  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc): reverted the modification of
+	3 days ago, as the leak of [Bug 983660] is now handled by the change
+	in TclCleanupByteCode.
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCleanupByteCode): let each bytecode remove
+	its references to literals at interp deletion, without updating the
+	dying literal table.
+	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclDeleteLiteralTable): with the above change
+	to TclCleanupByteCode, this function now removes a single reference to
+	the literal object and cleans up its own structures.
+
+2004-07-08  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (AppendEnvironment): Silenced a compilation warning
+	about a type mismatch.
+
+2004-07-07  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): fix for [Bug 458361].
+	Single-word scripts are compiled with an unshared cmdName to avoid
+	shimmering between bytecode and cmdName reps.
+
+2004-07-07  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclMergeReturnOptions):  Simplified logic and
+	removed potential memory leak. [Bug 986257].
+
+2004-07-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl (setTabs, IPmacro): Added support for the more
+	advanced *roff macros used in Tk's doc/bind.n
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclInitObjSubsystem): Declare all current object
+	types.
+
+2004-07-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-return-2.17): Added a test that a word
+	containing backslash-quoted value is treated correctly.
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclWordKnownAtCompileTime): [Bug 986196]
+	Corrected flaw above and the flaw that caused TCL_TOKEN_SIMPLE_WORDs
+	to have their original word value copied ( "{a b}" ) rather than the
+	actual value ( "a b" ). Thanks to Kevin Kenny for report and tests.
+
+2004-07-06  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-return-2.15,cmdMZ-return-2.16): Added a test
+	that a return code containing spaces is correctly returned.
+
+2004-07-06  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tools/man2html2.tcl (IPmacro, setTabs): Added support for the more
+	advanced *roff macros used in Tk's doc/bind.n
+
+2004-07-05  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc): fix for [Bug 983660], found
+	by pspjuth. Tear down the global namespace before freeing the interp
+	handle, to allow the bytecodes to free their non-shared literals.
+	* generic/tclLiteral.c (TclReleaseLiteral): moved special code for
+	self-ref so that it is also used for non-shared literals. Possible bug
+	found by inspection.
+
+2004-07-03  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprRoundFunc):
+	* tests/expr-old.test (39.1): added support for wide integers to
+	round(); [Bug 908375], reported by Hemang Lavana.
+
+2004-07-03  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Moved declaration of TclCompEvalObj() from
+	tclCompile.h to the internal stubs table, for compiler
+	experimentation.
+
+2004-07-02  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/regcomp.c (stid): correct minor pointer size error
+
+	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): applied TIP #202 patch that
+	* doc/exec.n, tests/exec.test:		 adds 2>@1 as a special case
+	redirection of stderr to the result output.
+
+2004-07-02  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/io.test: Changed several tests to run the event loop rather
+	than just calling [update] periodically, avoiding intermittent
+	failures (usually in io-29.32) that stemmed from unreaped processes on
+	Windows.
+	* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-1.11): Fixed a bug that caused test to
+	fail if the path name of the working directory contained whitespace
+	[Bug 678430]
+
+2004-07-01  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: Added test for [Bug 970529]
+
+2004-07-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* win/README.binary, win/README: Updated references to Tcl and Tk 8.4
+	to point to 8.5 instead. Thanks to Theo Verelst for spotting this.
+	* generic/tcl.h: Added note to help prevent those changes from getting
+	missed in the future.
+
+	* doc/Namespace.3, doc/load.n, doc/Limit.3: Typo fixes and remove
+	duplicate documentation. [Bug 983146]
+
+2004-06-30  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: Minor correction to new fileSystem-9.X tests
+	so that they clean up temporary directories correctly.
+
+2004-06-30  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/filename.n: clarified behaviour concerning trailing slashes in
+	filenames [Bug 971976]
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: fix and tests for [Bug 979879]
+
+2004-06-30  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	TIP#188 IMPLEMENTATION
+
+	* doc/string.n, tests/string.test:	 Add 'wideinteger' to things
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): that can be tested for with
+	the [string is] subcommand. [Patch 940915, by Kevin Kenny]
+
+2004-06-29  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c:	Corrected reference counting flaw in recent
+	changes. Thanks to Pat Thoyts. [Bug 981893].
+
+2004-06-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: fix to compilation with VC++ 5.2
+
+2004-06-29  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* library/safe.tcl: Make sure that the temporary variable is local to
+	the namespace and not inadvertently global. [Bug 981733]
+
+2004-06-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/unixNotfy.test: Modified constraints so that testing with a
+	threaded tclsh (not tcltest) will not hang.
+
+2004-06-23  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: Corrected type casting errors that led
+	to calculation of a negative index value, thus accesses outside the
+	threadStorageCache array, thus memory corruption.  Crash observed on
+	Mac OS X platform.
+
+2004-06-23  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+	* generic/tclThread.c: Implements platform independent thread storage
+	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: mechanism and fixes associated bugs on
+	platforms where there is limited thread local storage space
+	(Win98/WinNT4). [Patch 976496]
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: Added thread storage functions to the
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: internal stubs table.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tcl.m4:
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/rules.vc:
+	* win/Makefile.in: Modified the unix, VC++, and Cygwin build systems
+	* win/configure: to include the new "tclThreadStorage.c" and the new
+	* win/tcl.m4: USE_THREAD_STORAGE define.
+
+2004-06-23  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/io.test: Added -force to 18.1 and 18.2. This was failing on
+	WinXP.
+
+	* tests/winFCmd.test: Added a cleanup to winFCmd-16.11 to avoid a
+	failure in 16.12.
+
+	* tests/eofchar.data: Added -kb option to ensure a binary checkout to
+	win32 systems. This fixes a failure in io-61.1
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: fix for [Bug 977369] about launching tclsh to
+	generate a tclConfig.sh with the nmake build system
+
+2004-06-23  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/winDde.test (createChildProcess): Added a 200-ms delay (with
+	the event loop live) when shutting down the test DDE server process.
+	With the delay in place, nuisance failures of tests winDde-4.2, -6.5,
+	and -6.6 appear to be much less frequent. [Bug 957449]
+
+2004-06-23  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/*.test: Standardize use of platform constraints.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (GetStackSize, TclpCheckStackSpace):
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpThreadGetStackSize): Added code to check
+	whether the C stack is about to be exceeded, from [Patch 746378] by
+	Joe Mistachkin but with substantial revisions.
+
+2004-06-22  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (NewThreadProc): Fixed broken build on Windows
+	caused by missing TCL_THREAD_CREATE_RETURN.
+
+	* tests/stack.test (stack-3.1): Corrected nuisance error in threaded
+	builds.
+
+2004-06-22  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: [Bug 770053]. See bug report for more information
+	about what it does.
+
+	* tests/unixNotfy.test: rewritten to use tcltest::threadReap to
+	gracefully wait for the test thread to exit. Otherwise we got a race
+	condition with main thread exiting before the test thread. This
+	exposed the long-standing Tcl lib issue with resource
+	garbage-collection on application exit.
+
+2004-06-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (DllMain, _except_dllmain_detach_handler)
+	(TclpCheckStackSpace, _except_checkstackspace_handler)
+	(TclWinCPUID, _except_TclWinCPUID_detach_handler):

+	(_except_makefilechannel_handler):
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, _except_dorenamefile_handler)
+	(DoCopyFile, _except_docopyfile_handler):
+	Rework pushing of exception handler function pointer so that compiling
+	with gcc -O3 works. Remove empty function call to avoid compiler
+	warning. Mark the DllMain function as noinline to avoid compiler error
+	from duplicated asm labels in generated code.
+
+2004-06-21  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (Ptr2Block): Rewrote so as to maximize the
+	chance of detecting and reporting a memory inconsistency without
+	relying on things being consistent. [Bug 975895]
+
+2004-06-18  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/load.test:	Relaxed strictness of error message matching
+	for test load-2.3 so that it will pass on Mac OSX.
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Static TclFindEncodings -> FindEncodings.
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Updated TclpFindExecutable() so that failed
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	attempts to find the executable are saved
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:	just as successful finds are.  [Patch 966053]
+	* unix/tclUnixTest.c:
+
+2004-06-18  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/winFCmd.test (winFCmd-16.12): Changed test to compute the
+	target directory, so as not to fail if the user's HOME isn't the root.
+
+2004-06-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: autoconf 2.5 fixes in Darwin section.

+
+2004-06-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (localeTable): Added some more locale to encoding
+	mapping info from Jim Huang <jserv@kaffe.org>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (PendingObjData,TclFreeObjMacro,etc):
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclFreeObj): Added scheme for making TclFreeObj()
+	avoid blowing up the C stack when freeing up very large object trees.
+	[Bug 886231]
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (SetDefaultLibraryDir): Fix logic, simplify and add
+	comments.
+
+2004-06-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Added missing space in panic message.
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c:	Inform [tclInit] about the default library
+	directory via the ::tclDefaultLibrary variable. This should correct a
+	problem with my 2004-06-11 commit. Better solutions still in the
+	works. Thanks to Joe Mistachkin for pointing out the breakage.
+
+2004-06-16  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/library.n:	Moved variables ::auto_oldpath and
+	* library/auto.tcl:	::unknown_pending into ::tcl namespace.

+
+2004-06-15  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+

+
+2004-06-15  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclConfig.sh.in (TCL_EXTRA_CFLAGS): set to @CFLAGS@, which is
+	the configure-time CFLAGS. Addendum to m4 change on 2004-05-26.
+
+2004-06-14  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: Corrected compilation flags for tclPkgConfig.c so
+	that it doesn't require Stubs.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Removed comment stating that
+	TclInitEmbeddedConfigurationInformation needs Stubs; with the change
+	above, the comment is now erroneous.
+
+2004-06-11  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/Encoding.3:	Removed bogus claims about tcl_libPath.

+	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_Init):	Stopped setting the
+	tcl_libPath variable. [tclInit] can get all its directories without it.
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test:	Modified test code that made use of
+	tcl_libPath variable.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	Stopped setting the tclDefaultLibrary variable,
+	execept on the Mac OS X platform with HAVE_CFBUNDLE. In that
+	configuration we should seek some way to make use of the TIP 59
+	facilities and get rid of that usage of tclDefaultLibrary as well.
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Updated [tclInit] to make $env(TCL_LIBRARY) an
+	absolute path, and to include the scriptdir,runtime configuration value
+	on the search path for init.tcl.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	The routines Tcl_Init() and TclSourceRCFile()
+	* win/tclWinInit.c:	had identical implementations for both win and
+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	unix. Moved to a single generic implementation.
+	* generic/tclMain.c:
+	* library/init.tcl:
+	* generic/tclInitScript.h (removed):
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* win/tcl.dsp:
+
+	* unix/configure.in:	Updated TCL_PACKAGE_PATH value to handle
+	* win/configure.in:	--libdir configuration.
+
+	* unix/configure.in:	autoconf-2.57
+	* win/configure.in:
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Moved call to
+	TclInitEmbeddedConfigurationInformation() earlier in
+	Tcl_CreateInterp() so that other parts of interp creation and
+	initialization may access and use the config values.
+
+2004-06-11  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c: Restored the 'setargv' procedure when compiling
+	with mingw. Apparently, the command line parsing in mingw doesn't work
+	as well as that in vc++, and the result was (1) that winPipe-8.19
+	failed, and (2) that 'make test' would work at all only with
+	TESTFLAGS='-singleproc 1'. [Bug 967195]
+
+2004-06-10  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed forceful setting of the private cached
+	current working directory rep from within the Tcl_FSChdir(). We
+	delegate this task to the Tcl_FSGetCwd() which does this task anyway.
+	The relevant code is still present but disabled temporarily until the
+	change proves correct. The Tcl test suite passes all test with the
+	given change so I suppose it is good enough.
+
+2004-06-10  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):	Disabled addition of
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):	relative-to-executable
+	directories to the library search path. A first step in reform of
+	Tcl's startup process.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Attempts to directly run ./tclsh or ./tcltest out of a build directory
+	will either fail, or will make use of an installed script library in
+	preference to the one in the source tree. Use `make shell` or `make
+	runtest` instead.
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test:	Modified tests to suit above changes.
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c:	Corrected [file tail] results when operating
+	on a path produced by TclNewFSPathObj(). [Bug 970529]
+
+2004-06-09  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: partially corrected [Bug 932314]. Also
+	corrected return values of Tcl_FSChdir() to reflect those of the
+	underlying platform-specific call. Originally, return codes were mixed
+	with those of Tcl.
+
+2004-06-08  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+

+2004-06-08  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (RebuildTable): Move declaration of variable so it

+
+2004-06-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+

+
+2004-06-05  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Corrected Tcl_WideInt declarations so that the mingw
+	build works again.
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:			Changes to the tests for clock
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:			frequency in Tcl_WinTime so
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:		that any clock frequency is
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:		accepted provided that all
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:		CPU's in the system share a
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:		common chip, and hence,
+	* tests/platform.test (platform-1.3):	presumably, a common clock.
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclWinCPUID):	This change necessitated a
+	* win/tclWinTest.c (TestwincpuidCmd)	small burst of assembly code
+	* win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_GetTime):	to read CPU ID information,
+	which was added as TclWinCPUID in the internal Stubs. To test this
+	code in the common case of a single-processor machine, a
+	'testwincpuid' command was added to tclWinTest.c, and a test case in
+	platform.test. Thanks to Jeff Godfrey and Richard Suchenwirth for
+	reporting this bug. [Bug 976722]
+
+2004-06-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Restored #include <stdio.h> to tcl.h,
+	rejecting the "fix" for "Bug" 945570. Tcl_FSSeek() needs the values of
+	SEEK_SET, etc. and too many extensions rely on tcl.h providing stdio.h
+	for them.
+
+2004-06-02  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpFindExecutable): when using GetModuleFileNameA
+	(Win9x), convert from CP_ACP to WCHAR then convert back to utf8.
+	Adjunct to 2004-04-07 fix.
+
+2004-06-02  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-6.1): blocking set to 1 before closing
+	to ensure we get an exitcode. The windows pipe channel driver doesn't
+	differentiate between a blocking and non-blocking close just yet, but
+	will soon. Part of [Bug 947693]
+
+2004-06-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2004-06-01  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: check for either MSDEVDIR or MSVCDIR being in the
+	environment, for VC7.  [Bug 942214]
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelOption): -buffersize wasn't
+	understanding hexidecimal notation nor was reporting number conversion
+	errors. The behavior to silently ignore settings outside the
+	acceptable range of Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize (<10 or >1M) is
+	unchanged. This silent ignoring behavior might be up for review soon.
+
+2004-05-30  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:  Reworked the win implementation of Tcl_WaitPid to
+	support exitcodes in the 'signed short' range. Even though this range
+	is non-portable, it is valid on windows. Detection of exception codes
+	are now more accurate. Previously, an application that exited with
+	ExitProcess((DWORD)-1); was improperly reported as exiting with
+	SIGABRT.
+
+2004-05-30  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c: Added comments describing the purposes of each
+	function in the limit implementation and rewrote the names of some
+	non-public functions for greater clarity of purpose.
+	* doc/interp.n: Added note about what happens when a limited
+	interpreter creates a slave interpreter.
+	* doc/Limit.3: Added manual page for the resource limit subsystem's C
+	API. [Bug 953903]
+
+2004-05-29  Joe English	 <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/global.n, doc/interp.n, doc/lrange.n: Fix minor markup errors.
+
+2004-05-28  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+

+
+2004-05-27  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/clock.test: Added a single test for the presence of %G in
+	[clock format], and conditioned out the clock-10.x series if they're
+	all going to fail because of a broken strftime() call. [Bug 961714]
+
+2004-05-27  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (CompareStringKeys): Added #ifdef to allow people
+	to instruct this function to use strcmp(). [FRQ 951168]
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Moved declarations into #if guards so they only
+	happen when required.
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: Guard declaration of strtod() so it is only
+	enabled when we don't have a declaration in stdlib.h
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread):	Added declarations
+	* unix/tclUnixTest.c (AlarmHandler):		and casts so that
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyModemStatusStr):	all functions are
+	* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd):		defined before use
+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (InvalidateDictChain):	and no cross-type
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd):	uses are performed.
+
+	The overall effect is to make building with gcc with the additional
+	flags -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes produce no increase in
+	the total number of warnings (except for main(), which is undeclared
+	for traditional reasons.)
+
+2004-05-26  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:  Rework configure ordering to TCL_LINK_LIBS,
+	* unix/tcl.m4:	     ENABLE_SHARED, CONFIG_CFLAGS, & ENABLE_SYMBOLS
+	* unix/configure:    before TCL_EARLY_FLAGS and TCL_64BIT_FLAGS
+	* unix/configure.in: (about 400 lines earlier) in configure.in. This
+	forces CFLAGS configuration to be done before many tests, which is
+	needed for 64-bit builds and may affect other builds. Also make
+	CONFIG_CFLAGS append to CFLAGS directly instead of using EXTRA_CFLAGS,
+	and have LDFLAGS append to any existing value. [Bug 874058]
+	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: change EXTRA_CFLAGS to DEFS
+
+2004-05-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Correction to debug prints and testing
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:	if TCLTEST_OPTIONS value.  Corrected
+	* tests/tcltest.test:		double increment of numTestFiles in
+	-singleproc 1 configurations.  Updated tcltest-19.1 to tcltest 2.1
+	behavior.  Corrected tcltest-25.3 to not falsely report a failure

+
+2004-05-25  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* doc/http.n (http::config): add -urlencoding option (default utf-8)
+	* library/http/http.tcl:     that specifies encoding conversion of
+	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: args for http::formatQuery.  Previously
+	* tests/http.test:	     undefined, RFC 2718 says it should be
+	utf-8. 'http::config -urlencoding {}' returns previous behavior, which

+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindNamespaceVar):
+	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-17.10-12): reverted commit of
+	2004-05-23 and removed the tests, as it interferes with the varname
+	resolver and there are apps that break (AlphaTk). A fix will have to
+	wait for Tcl9.
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Caching of namespace variables disabled: no simple
+	way was found to avoid interfering with the resolver's idea of
+	variable existence. A cached varName may keep a variable's name in the
+	namespace's hash table, which is the resolver's criterion for
+	existence.
+
+	* tests/namespace.c (namespace-17.10): testing for interference
+	between varname caching and name resolver.
+
+2004-05-25  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/winFCmd.test: Correct test for the presence of a CD-ROM so

+
+2004-05-25  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/winPipe.test:	Protect against path being set

+	* tests/interp.test (interp-9.3): Initialize res, so prior values
+	cannot make the test fail.
+	* tests/execute.test (execute-8.1):  Updated to remove the trace set

+	to fail.
+
+2004-05-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Removed references to Tcl_RenameCommand from
+	* generic/tcl.h:      comments. [Bug 848440, second part]
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test: Rewrote tests that failed consistently on NFS so
+	they either succeed (through slightly more liberal matching of the
+	results) or are constrained to not run. [Bug 931312]
+
+	* doc/bgerror.n: Use idiomatic open flags for working with log
+	files. [Bug 959602]
+
+2004-05-24  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (VerifyExprObjType): use GET_WIDE_OR_INT to

+	Bug 896727] and any other 3rd party extension that created math
+	functions but was not yet WIDE_INT aware in them.
+
+2004-05-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+

+
+2004-05-24 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/set.n: accurate description of name resolution process,

+
+2004-05-23  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindNamespaceVar): [Bug 959052] fixed,
+	insuring that no "zombie" variables are found.
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupSimpleVar): comments re [Bug 736729]
+	(predecessor of [Bug 959052]) removed.
+	* tests/namespace.test: added tests 17.10-12
+
+	The patch modifies non-documented behaviour, and passes every test in
+	the testsuite. However, scripts relying on the old behaviour may
+	break.
+	Note that the only behaviour change concerns the creative writing of
+	unset variables. More precisely, which variable will be created when
+	neither a namespace variable nor a global variable by that name
+	exists, as defined by [info vars]. The new behaviour is that the
+	namespace resolution process deems a variable to exist exactly when
+	[info vars] finds it - ie, either it has value, or else it was "fixed"
+	by a call to [variable].
+	Note: this patch was removed on 2002-05-25.
+
+2004-05-22  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclObjLookupVar, TclObjUnsetVar2): fix for new (in
+	tcl8.4) exteriorisations of [Bug 736729] due to the use of
+	tclNsVarNameType obj types. Reenabling the use of this objType ("VAR
+	ref absolute" benchmark down to 66 ms, from 230). Added comments in
+	TclLookupSimpleVar explaining my current understanding of [Bug
+	736729].
+
+2004-05-22  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: fix for [Bug 735335]. The use of tclNsVarNameType
+	objs is still disabled, pending resolution of [Bug 736729].
+
+2004-05-21  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-41.3): removed the {knownBug}
+	constraint: [Bug 231259] is closed since nov 2001, and the fix of [Bug
+	729692] (INST_START_CMD) makes the test succeed.
+
+2004-05-21  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Move a few declarations a
+	short distance so pre-C99 compilers can cope. Also fix so
+	TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG path compiles...
+
+2004-05-21  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): reorganised TEBC
+	automatic variables, defining them in tight blocks instead of at the
+	function level. This has three purposes:
+	- it simplifies the analysis of individual instructions
+	- it is preliminary work to the non-recursive engine
+	- it allows a better register allocation by the optimiser; under
+	gcc3.3, this results in up to 10% runtime in some tests
+
+2004-05-20  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (TclLimitRemoveAllHandlers):
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (DeleteInterpProc):
+	* tests/interp.test (interp-34.7): Ensure that all limit callbacks are
+	deleted when their interpreters are deleted. [Bug 956083]
+
+2004-05-19  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): fix for an issue where
+	there was a sneak path from Tcl_DStringFree to SetErrorCode(0). The
+	result was that the error code could be reset between a call to
+	FindFirstFileEx and the check of its status return, leading to a
+	bizarre error return of {POSIX unknown {No error}}. (Found in
+	unplanned test - no incident logged at SourceForge.)
+
+2004-05-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/interp.test (interp-34.3): Rewrite this test to see if a time
+	limit can catch a tight bytecode loop, a maximally aggressive
+	denial-of-service attack.
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_LimitCheck): Fix the sense of checks to see
+	whether a time limit has been extended.
+
+	* tests/*.test: Many minor fixes, including ensuring that every test
+	is run (so constraints control whether the test is doing anything) and
+	making sure that constraints are always set using the API instead of
+	poking around inside tcltest's internal datastructures.  Also got rid
+	of all trailing whitespace lines from the test suite!
+
+2004-05-19  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c: Fixed [SF Tcl Bug 943274]. This is the same problem
+	* generic/tclIO.h: as [SF Tcl Bug 462317], see ChangeLog entry
+	2001-09-26. The fix done at that time is incomplete. It is possible to
+	get around it if the actual read operation is defered and not executed
+	in the event handler itself. Instead of tracking if we are in an read
+	caused by a synthesized fileevent we now track if the OS has delivered
+	a true event = actual data and bypass the driver if a read finds that
+	there is no actual data waiting. The flag is cleared by a short or
+	full read.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for channel drivers.
+
+2004-05-17  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to (Bug 956063) in 'file dirname'.

+
+2004-05-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+

+
+2004-05-18  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* compat/strftime.c (_fmt, ISO8601Week):
+	* doc/clock.n:

+
+	* doc/interp.n: Added user documentation for the TIP#143 resource

+
+	* doc/global.n, doc/uplevel.n: Added an example.

+	used to be in Tcl 7.* now that command counts are being correctly
+	kept.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC:INST_START_CMD): Make sure that the
+	command-count is always advanced. Allows TIP#143 limits to tell that
+	work is being done.
+
+	* doc/list.n: Updated example to fit with the unified format.
+	* doc/seek.n: Added some examples.

+2004-05-16  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): remove one level of
+	indirection for compiledLocals addressing.
+
+2004-05-16  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CALL_FUNC1): bugfix; restored
+	(DE)CACHE_STACK_INFO pair around the call - the user defined math
+	function could cause a recursive call to TEBC.
+
+2004-05-16  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteInterp):
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_START_CMD): interp deletion now modifies
+	the compileEpoch, eliminating the need for the check for interp
+	deletion in INST_START_CMD.
+
+2004-05-16  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclCompile.c:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: changed implementation of {expand}, last
+	chance while in alpha as ...
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	Scripts precompiled with ProComp under previous tcl8.5a versions may
+	malfunction due to changed instruction numbers for
+	INST_LIST_INDEX_IMM, INST_LIST_RANGE_IMM and INST_START_CMD.
+
+2004-05-14  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:	     Promoted TclpLocaltime and TclpGmtime
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:     from Unix-specific stubs to the generic
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: internal Stubs table.  Reran 'genstubs'
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c: Changed a buggy 'GMT' timezone specification
+			      to the correct 'GMT0'. [Bug 922848]
+
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Moved TclpGmtime and TclpLocaltime to
+			      unix/tclUnixTime.c where they belong.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (TclpGmtime, TclpLocaltime, TclpGetTimeZone,
+			      ThreadSafeGMTime [removed],
+			      ThreadSafeLocalTime [removed],
+			      SetTZIfNecessary, CleanupMemory):
+	Restructured to make sure that the same mutex protects all calls to
+	localtime, gmtime, and tzset. Added a check in front of those calls to
+	make sure that the TZ env var hasn't changed since the last call to
+	tzset, and repeat tzset if necessary. [Bug 942078] Removed a buggy
+	test of the Daylight Saving Time information in 'gettimeofday' in
+	favor of applying 'localtime' to a known value. [Bug 922848]
+
+	* tests/clock.test (clock-3.14): Added test to make sure that changes
+	to $env(TZ) take effect immediately.
+
+	* win/tclWinTime.c (TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime): Added porting layer
+	for 'localtime' and 'gmtime' calls.
+
+2004-05-14  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: the math functions receive a pointer to top of
+	the stack (tosPtr) instead of the execution environment (eePtr). First
+	step towards a change in the execution stack management - it is now
+	only used within TEBC.
+
+2004-05-13  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	TIP#143 IMPLEMENTATION
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj, TclExecuteByteCode):

+	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_Limit*): Public limit API.
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* tests/interp.test: Basic tests of command limits.
+
+	* doc/binary.n:		TIP#129 IMPLEMENTATION [Patch 858211]
+	* generic/tclBinary.c:	Note that the test suite probably has many more
+	* tests/binary.test:	failures now due to alterations in constraints.
+
+2004-05-12  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	Optimisations for INST_START_CMD [Bug 926164].
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): avoid emitting
+	INST_START_CMD as the first instruction in a bytecoded Tcl_Obj. It is
+	not needed, as the checks are done before calling TEBC.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peephole
+	optimisation: check at INST_POP if the next instruction is
+	INST_START_CMD, in which case we fall through.
+
+2004-05-11  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/split.n, doc/join.n: Updated examples and added more.
+
+2004-05-11  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/glob.n: documented behaviour of symbolic links with 'glob -types
+	d' (Bug 951489)
+
+2004-05-11  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+

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

+
+2004-05-07  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c:
+	* tests/encoding.test: added support and tests for translating

+	representation on input/output [Bug 949905].
+
+2004-05-07  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c:
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* generic/tclFileSystem.h:
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: fix for [Bug 943995], in which vfs-registered
+	root volumes were not handled correctly as glob patterns in all
+	circumstances.
+
+2004-05-06  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclFreeObj): made TclFreeObj use the new macro
+	TclFreeObjMacro(), so that the allocation and freeing of Tcl_Obj is
+	defined in a single spot (the macros in tclInt.h), with the exception
+	of the TCL_MEM_DEBUG case.
+	The #ifdef logic for the corresponding macros has been reformulated to
+	make it clearer.

+
+	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.10):	Test correction for Mac OSX.
+	Be sure to consistently compare normalized path names. Thanks to

+
+2004-05-05  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/CrtObjCmd.3: Remove reference to Tcl_RenameCommand; there is no
+	such API. [Bug 848440]
+
+2004-05-05  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c (SocketEventProc) : connect errors should fire both
+	the readable and writable handlers because this is how it works on
+	UNIX [Bug 794839]
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclFinalizeEncodingSubsystem):
+	FreeEncoding(systemEncoding); moved to before the hash table
+	itereation as it was causing a double free attempt under some
+	conditions.
+
+	* win/coffbase.txt: Added the tls extension to the list of preferred
+	load addresses.
+
+2004-05-04  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/fileSystem.test (filesystem-1.39): replace 'file volumes'
+	* tests/fileName.test (filename-12.9,10):  lindex with direct C:/
+	hard-coded because A:/ was being used and that is empty for most.
+
+	* tests/winFCmd.test (winFCmd-16.12): test volumerelative $HOME
+
+2004-05-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2004-05-03  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

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

+
+2004-05-03  Kevin Kenny	 <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace):

+	more permanent replacement.
+
+2004-04-30  Kevin B. Kenny   <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: Added a temporary (or so I hope!)
+	inclusion of "tclWinInt.h" to avoid problems when compiling on

+
+2004-04-30  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+	* doc/open.n, doc/close.n: Updated (thanks to David Welton) to be
+	clearer about pipeline errors and added example to open(n) that shows

+
+	* doc/DictObj.3: Added warning about the use of Tcl_DictObjDone and an
+	example of use of iteration. [Bug 940843]
+
+	* doc/Thread.3: Reworked to remove references to testing interfaces
+	and instead promote the use of the Thread package. [Patch 932527]
+	Also reworked and reordered the page for better readability.

+
+2004-04-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPort.h:
+	* macosx/Makefile:
+	* unix/Makefile.in: followup on tcl header reform [FR 922727]: removed
+	use of relative #include paths in tclPort.h to allow installation of
+	private headers outside of tcl source tree; added 'unix' dir to
+	compiler header search path; add newly required tcl private headers to
+	Tcl.framework on Mac OSX.
+
+2004-04-23  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelOption): Fixed [SF Tcl Bug 930851].

+
+2004-04-25  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 940281]. Tcl_FSJoinPath will now
+	always return a valid Tcl_Obj when the input is valid.
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to [Bug 931823] for a more consistent
+	Tcl_FSPathSeparator() implementation which allows filesystems not to
+	implement their Tcl_FSFilesystemSeparatorProc if they wish to use the
+	default '/'.  Also fixed associated memory leak seen with, e.g.,
+	tclvfs package.
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: documented Tcl_FSJoinPath return values more
+	clearly, and Tcl_FSFilesystemSeparatorProc requirements.
+
+2004-04-23  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Removed my mistake from 4/19 of adding an exit
+	handler to TclWinInit. TclWinEncodingsCleanup called from
+	TclFinalizeFilesystem does the Tcl_FreeEncoding for us.
+
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel): Case for CloseHandle
+	returning zero and not throwing a
+	RaiseException(EXCEPTION_INVALID_HANDLE) now being done.
+
+2004-04-22  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c: TclSetLibraryPath's use of caching the stringrep
+	of the pathPtr object to TclGetLibraryPath called from another thread
+	was ineffective if the original's stringrep had been invalidated as
+	what happens when it gets muted to a list.
+
+	* win/tclWinTime.c: If the Tcl_ExitProc (StopCalibration) is called
+	from the stack frame of DllMain's PROCESS_DETACH, the wait operation
+	should timeout and continue.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclThread.c:
+	* generic/tclEvent.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Provisions made so masterLock, initLock, allocLock

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

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

+	Chat.
+
+2004-04-16  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/lreplace.n, doc/lrange.n, doc/llength.n:	More examples for

+
+2004-04-16  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: Corrected documentation of Tcl_FSUtime, and the

+
+2004-04-16  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/socket.n: Added example from [Patch 936245].

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

+
+2004-03-29  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main, StdinProc):	Append newline only
+	* tests/basic.test (basic-46.1):		to incomplete scripts
+	as part of multi-line script construction. Do not add an extra
+	trailing newline to the complete script. [Bug 833150]
+
+2004-03-28  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): corrected possible segfault

+	compile environment [Bug 925121].
+
+2004-03-27  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

+
+2004-03-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+	accurate. I removed the check on the case result==(WAIT_OBJECT_0 + 1)
+	This was having the error of falling into GetMessage and waiting there
+	by accident, which wasn't alertable through Tcl_AlertNotifier. I'll do
+	some more study on this and try to find-out why.
+
+2004-03-12  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+
+2004-03-10  Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>

+	* tests/clock.test: Added test cases for wrong ISO8601 week number
+	[Bug 500285] and wrong GMT base date [Bug 913513]. Several tests still
+	fail on Windows, and these are actual faults in [clock scan]. Fix is

+
+2004-03-08  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (TclParseInit):	Modified TclParseInit so
+	* generic/tclTest.c ([testexprparser]): that Tcl_Parse initialization
+	conforms to documented promised about what fields will not be
+	modified by what Tcl_Parse* routines. [Bug 910595]
+
+2004-03-05  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Check for define of MWMO_ALERTABLE in winuser.h.
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: If MWMO_ALERTABLE is not defined in winuser.h then
+	define it. This is needed for Mingw.
+
+2004-03-05  Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c: Modified TesteventObjCmd to use a
+	Tcl_QueuePosition in place of an 'int' for the enumerated queue
+	position, to avoid a compiler warning on SGI. [Bug 771960]
+
+2004-03-05  Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* tests/registry.test: Applied fix from [Patch 910174] to make the test
+	for an English-language system include any country code, rather than
+	just English-United States.1252. Thanks to Pat Thoyts for the changes.
+
+2004-03-04  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/registry.test: Applied fixed from [Bug 766159] to skip two
+	tests on Win98 that depend on a Unicode registry (NT specific).
+
+2004-03-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclParseInit):	Factored the common code

+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:		struct into one routine.
+
+2004-03-04  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl:  Added TIP #100 support to the
+	* win/tclWinReg.c:	     registry package [patch 903831]
+	This provides a Windows test of the TIP #100 mechanism and a sample to
+	show how unloading an extension can be done.
+
+2004-03-04  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+
+2004-03-03  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	*** 8.5a1 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+	* changes: updated for 8.5a1
+
+2004-03-03  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: default environment variable for VC++ is %MSDevDir%
+	not %MSVCDir%, although vcvars32.bat sets both.
+
+	* win/tclWinNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent) : Allows an idling notifier to
+	service "Asynchronous Procedure Calls" from its wait state. Only
+	useful for extension authors who decide they might want to try
+	"completion routines" with WriteFileEx(), as an example. From
+	experience, I recommend that "completion ports" should be used instead
+	as the execution of the callbacks are more managable.
+
+2004-03-01  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>

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

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

+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Stop memory leak with
+	very long hostnames.  [Bug 888777]
+
+2004-02-25  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinDde.c: Removed some gcc warnings - except for the
+	-Wconversion warning for GetGlobalAtomName. gcc is just wrong about
+	this.
+
+2004-02-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#100 FROM GEORGIOS PETASIS
+	* generic/tclLoad.c (Tcl_UnloadObjCmd): Implementation.
+	* tests/unload.test:			Test suite.
+	* unix/dltest/pkgua.c:			Helper for test suite.
+	* doc/unload.n:				Documentation.
+	Also assorted changes (mostly small) to several other files.
+
+2004-02-23  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/regc_locale.c (cclass): Buffer was having its size reset
+	instead of being released => memleak. [Bug 902562]
+
+2004-02-21  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclLoad.c (Tcl_LoadObjCmd): Fixed memory leak due to an
+	improper error exit route.
+
+2004-02-20  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c (SocketThreadExitHandler): Don't call
+	TerminateThread when WaitForSingleObject returns a timeout.
+	Tcl_Finalize called from DllMain will pause all threads. Trust that
+	the thread will get the close notice at a later time if it does ever
+	wake up before being cleaned up by the system anyway.
+
+2004-02-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Changed -verbose default value to
+	{body error} so that detailed information on unexpected errors in
+	tests is provided by default, even after the fix for [Bug 725253]
+
+2004-02-17  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-7.1):
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): ensure the std fds exist to
+	prevent crash condition [Bug 772288]
+
+2004-02-17  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Bozo mistake in memory
+	releasing order when in an error case. [Bug 898910]
+
+2004-02-16  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TclTraceExecutionObjCmd)
+	(TclTraceCommandObjCmd): fix possible mem leak in trace info.
+
+2004-02-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (AppendEnvironment): Use the tail component of the
+	passed in lib path instead of just blindly using lib+4. That worked
+	when lib was "lib/..."  but fails for other values. Thanks go to
+	Patrick Samson for pointing this out.
+
+2004-02-10  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/nmakehlp.c: better macro grepping logic.
+
+2004-02-07  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/rules.vc:
+	* win/tcl.rc:
+	* win/tclsh.rc: Added an 'unchecked' option to the OPTS macro so a
+	core built with symbols can be linked to the non-debug enabled C
+	run-time. As per discussion with Kevin Kenny. Called like this:
+
+		nmake -af makefile.vc OPTS=unchecked,symbols
+
+	This clarifies the meaning of the 'g' naming suffix to mean only that
+	the binary requires the debug enabled C run-time. Whether the binary
+	contains symbols or not is a different condition.
+
+2004-02-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/clock.n:	Removed reference to non-existent [file ctime].

+2004-02-05  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* docs/tclvars.n: Added clarification of the tcl_platform(debug) var
+	that it only refers to the flavor of the C run-time, and not whether
+	the core contains symbols.
+
+2004-02-05  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (SkipToChar): Corrected CONST and type-casting
+	issues that caused compiler warnings.
+
+2004-02-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (StoreStatData): Removed improper refcount
+	decrement of the varName parameter. This error was causing segfaults
+	following test cmdAH-28.7.
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Corrected references to non-existent
+	$name variable in [cleanupTests]. [Bug 833637]
+
+2004-02-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Corrected parsing of single command
+	line argument (option with missing value) [Bug 833910]
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:	Bump to version 2.2.5.
+
+2004-02-02  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Ungets): Fixes improper filling of the channel
+	buffer. This is the buffer before the splice. [Bug 405995]
+
+2004-02-01  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tests/winPipe.test: more pass-thru commandline verifications.
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Special case quoting for '{'
+	not required by the c-runtimes's parse_cmdline().
+	* win/tclAppInit.c: Removed our custom setargv() in favor of the work
+	provided by the c-runtime. [Bug 672938]
+
+	* win/nmakehlp.c: defensive techniques to avoid static buffer
+	overflows and a couple envars upsetting invokations of cl.exe and
+	link.exe. [Bug 885537]
+
+	* tests/winPipe.test: Added proof that BuildCommandLine() is not doing
+	the "N backslashes followed a quote -> insert N * 2 + 1 backslashes
+	then a quote" rule needed for the crt's parse_cmdline().
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Fixed BuildCommandLine() to pass the new cases.
+
+2004-01-30  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: Use the -GZ compiler switch when building for
+	symbols. This is supposed to emulate the release build better to avoid
+	hiding problems that only show themselves in a release build.
+
+2004-01-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 883143] in file normalization
+
+2004-01-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/file.n:
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c
+	* generic/tclTest.c
+	* library/init.tcl
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: fix to [Bug 886352] where 'file copy -force'
+	had inconsistent behaviour wrt target files with insufficient
+	permissions, particular from vfs->native fs. Behaviour of '-force' is
+	now always consistent (and now consistent with behaviour of 'file
+	delete -force'). Added new tests and documentation and cleaned up the
+	'simplefs' test filesystem.
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: made native filesystems more robust to C code
+	which asks for mount lists.
+
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 886607] removing warning/error
+	with some compilers.
+
+2004-01-28  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (SetBooleanFromAny): Rewrite to do more efficient
+	string->bool conversion.
+	Many other minor whitespace/style fixes to this file too.
+
+2004-01-27  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/nmakehlp.c: Use '.\nul' as the sourcefile name instead of 'nul'
+	so VC 5.2 doesn't try searching the path for it and failing with a
+	possible dialogbox popping up about having to add a CD to an empty
+	drive. Also added a SetErrorMode() call to disable any dialogs that
+	cl.exe or link.exe might create. [Bug 885537]
+
+2004-01-22  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/file.n: clarified documentation of 'file system' [Bug 883825]
+	* tests/fCmd.test: improved test result in failure case.
+
+2004-01-22  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: 3 new tests
+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [Bug 879555] in file normalization.
+	* doc/filename.n: small clarification to Windows behaviour with
+	filenames like '.....', 'a.....', '.....a'.
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: slight improvement to native cwd caching on
+	Windows.
+
+2004-01-21  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* doc/Panic.3:	Mentions of 'panic' and 'panicVA' removed from the
+	documentation.
+
+2004-01-21  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3:
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c
+	* generic/tclDecls.h
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c
+	* generic/tclFileName.c

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