+	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: [Bug 3601804]: platformCPUID segmentation
+	fault on Darwin.
+
+2013-01-23  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): [Bug 2911139]: Do not do vwait
+	for connect to avoid reentrancy problems (except when operating
+	without a -command option). Internally, this means that all sockets
+	created by the http package will always be operated in asynchronous
+	mode.
+
+2013-01-21  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: Put back Tcl[GS]etStartupScript(Path|FileName)
+	in private stub table, so extensions using this (like Tk 8.4) will
+	continue to work in all Tcl 8.x versions. Extensions using this
+	still cannot be compiled against Tcl 8.6 headers.
+
+2013-01-18  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclPort.h: [Bug 3598300]: unix: tcl.h does not include
+	sys/stat.h
+
+2013-01-17  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (PushVarName): [Bug 3600328]: Added mechanism
+	for suppressing compilation of variables when we couldn't cope with
+	the results. Useful for some [array] subcommands.
+	* generic/tclEnsemble.c (CompileToCompiledCommand): Must restore the
+	compilation environment when a command compiler fails.
+
+2013-01-16  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclZlib.c (TclZlibInit): [Bug 3601086]: Register the config
+	info in the iso8859-1 encoding as that is guaranteed to be present.
+
+2013-01-16  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* Makefile.in:   Allow win32 build with -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED, just as
+	* generic/tcl.h: in the UNIX build. Define Tcl_EvalObj and
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: Tcl_GlobalEvalObj as macros, even when
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: TCL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, so Tk can benefit
+	from it too.
+
+2013-01-14  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* win/tcl.m4: More flexible search for win32 tclConfig.sh, backported
+	from TEA (not actually used in Tcl, only for Tk)
+
+2013-01-14  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: Put back Tcl_[GS]etStartupScript in internal
+	stub table, so extensions using this, compiled against 8.5 headers
+	still run in Tcl 8.6.
+
+2013-01-13  Alexandre Ferrieux  <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/fileevent.n: [Bug 3436609]: Clarify readable fileevent "false
+	positives" in the case of multibyte encodings/transforms.
+
+2013-01-13  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: If TCL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, make sure
+	that TIP #139 functions all are taken from the public stub table, even
+	if the inclusion is through tclInt.h.
+
+2013-01-12  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: Put back TclBackgroundException in internal
+	stub table, so extensions using this, compiled against 8.5 headers
+	still run in Tcl 8.6.
+
+2013-01-09  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* library/http/http.tcl: [Bug 3599395]: http assumes status line is a
+	proper Tcl list.
+
+2013-01-08  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: [Bug 3092089]: [file normalize] can remove path
+	components.	[Bug 3587096] win vista/7: "can't find init.tcl" when
+	called via junction without folder list access.
+
+2013-01-07  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclOOStubLib.c: Restrict the stub library to only use
+	* generic/tclTomMathStubLib.c: Tcl_PkgRequireEx, Tcl_ResetResult and
+	Tcl_AppendResult, not any other function. This puts least restrictions
+	on eventual Tcl 9 stubs re-organization, and it works on the widest
+	range of Tcl versions.
+
+2013-01-06  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+	* library/http/http.tcl: Don't depend on Spencer-specific regexp
+	* tests/env.test: syntax (/u and /U) any more in unrelated places.
+	* tests/exec.test:
+	Bump http package to 2.8.6.
