+2001-12-28 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * library/init.tcl: make sure env(COMSPEC) on Windows is executed
+ with the right case, as it may otherwise fail inexplicably.
+
+2001-12-28 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCkalloc.c (MemoryCmd, TclFinalizeMemorySubsystem):
+ Added the [memory onexit] command, intended to replace [checkmem].
+
+ * doc/DumpActiveMemory.3:
+ * doc/memory.n: Updated documentation for [memory] and related
+ matters. [Bug 487677]
+
+ * mac/tclMacBOAMain.c (Tcl_Main, CheckmemCmd): Removed all the
+ machinery for the [checkmem] command that is completely duplicated
+ by code in generic/tclCkalloc.c.
+
+ * generic/tclBinary.c:
+ * generic/tclListObj.c:
+ * generic/tclObj.c:
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: Removed references to [checkmem] in
+ comments, referencing [memory active] instead, since it is
+ documented.
+
+2001-12-28 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * mac/tclMacInit.c:
+ * mac/tclMacTclCode.r: synced up tclInit features to unix/win:
+ implemented TclSetPreInitScript support, use of existing tclInit
+ proc if defined, check of default encoding dir if set. Changed
+ script library resource names to lowercase (i.e. same as
+ corresponding files). Used Tcl_JoinPath instead of string append.
+ Check that system encoding could be loaded before utf translating
+ the LibraryPath.
+ * mac/tclMacApplication.r:
+ * mac/tclMacLibrary.r:
+ * mac/tclMacOSA.r:
+ * mac/tclMacResource.r: minor version resources cleanup
+
+2001-12-21 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_TCLCONFIG, SC_PATH_TKCONFIG):
+ Search for config file using exec_prefix instead of
+ prefix when no --with-tcl or --with-tk argument is used. [Bug 492418]
+
+2001-12-21 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4: fixed incorrect SHLIB_LD_LIBS
+ setting for MacOSX / Darwin.
+ * unix/configure: Regen.
+ * unix/mkLinks.tcl: improved case-insensitive
+ filesystem support.
+ * unix/mkLinks: Regen.
+
+2001-12-19 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in (dist): corrected use of eolFix.tcl on
+ working files. It should operate on distributed files. [Bug 495120]
+
+2001-12-19 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * tools/tcl.wse.in: Fix for #495120. tcl.wse.in was
+ stored in cvs with improper <eol>. This resulted in
+ corrupted <eol> when checked-out on translating CVS
+ clients such as windows (CRCRLF) and mac (CRCR).
+
+2001-12-19 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/configure:
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Update
+ SunOS 5.[0-6] target so that correct linker
+ options are passed to gcc or ld. [Tk Bug 220863]
+
+2001-12-19 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/README: Update to account for changes
+ in the unix/dltest directory, the way autoconf
+ is run, and the new "make shell" target.
+
+2001-12-19 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: Rename dltest to dlpkgs to
+ fix problem where lib files were not getting
+ built because dltest/ directory already existed.
+
+2001-12-19 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialCheckProc): corrected time
+ calculations to be unsigned. (schroedter)
+
+2001-12-18 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: Define new dltest target that
+ simply does a cd to dltest/ before running make.
+ There is no need for the separate configure
+ script that was previously being used.
+ * unix/configure: Regen.
+ * unix/configure.in: Subst into dltest/Makefile.
+ * unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Define LIBS using
+ DL_LIBS, LIBS, and MATH_LIBS variables instead
+ of TCL_LIBS variable from tclConfig.sh.
+ * unix/dltest/README: Update readme to account for new
+ configure free implementation.
+ * unix/dltest/configure: Removed.
+ * unix/dltest/configure.in: Removed.
+
+2001-12-18 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h (TCL_STUB_MAGIC): Added cast to force type to be
+ an int and get rid of a persistent and pointless warning with
+ SunPro compiler.
+
+ * generic/tclCkalloc.c (Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc,Tcl_AttemptDbCkrealloc):
+ * generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc,Tcl_AttemptDbCkrealloc):
+ Made the file parameters to these functions into CONST char *,
+ like they always should have been to match the other Tcl*Db* API
+ functions.
+
+2001-12-17 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * Applied #219311 on behalf of Rolf Schroedter
+ <schroedter@users.sourceforge.net> to prevent fcopy on serial
+ ports from flooding the event queue.
+
+2001-12-11 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/CrtInterp.3:
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: docs and comments corrections [Bug 493412]
+ Bug & patch by Don Porter.
+
+2001-12-14 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * win/tclWinNotify.c (Tcl_FinalizeNotifier): Stop Tcl on Windows
+ from crashing when shutdown from a non-Tcl thread. Fixes Bug
+ #217982 [orig. 5804] reported by Hugh Vu and Gene Leache. I'm
+ not convinced that the shutdown process is right even with this,
+ but it was definitely wrong without...
+
+2001-12-13 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/tclWinSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Fix for tcl bug item
+ #478565 reported by an unknown person. Bypasses all calls to
+ "gethostbyaddr" for address "0.0.0.0" to prevent delays on
+ Win/NT.
+
+2001-12-12 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * doc/Preserve.3: doc'd TCL_DYNAMIC use. [Patch #483989] (porter)
+
+2001-12-12 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetsObj): Applied patch for bug #491341 as
+ provided by Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>. Fixes the
+ assumption of having an empty Tcl_Obj to work with.
+
+2001-12-11 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+ * generic/tclCompile.c:
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: consistency patch, to make all
+ instructions that pop a variable number of Tcl_Obj's off the
+ execution stack take the number of popped objects as first
+ operand. Modified *only* the new instructions
+ INST_LIST_INDEX_MULTI and INST_LSET_FLAT, so this has no effect
+ on bytecodes generated up to tcl8.4a3 inclusive.
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: fix debug messages in INST_LSET_LIST.
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileLindexCmd):
+ * generic/tclCompExpr.c (CompileMathFuncCall): removed the last
+ two overestimates of the necessary stack depth for bytecodes in
+ the fix of [Bug 483611].
+
+2001-12-10 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): Applied Don Porter's
+ patch fixing bug #437489.
+
+2001-12-10 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclEvent.c:
+ * tests/event.test: fix background error reporting in the absence
+ of a bgerror proc [Bug 219142].
+
+2001-12-10 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/Access.3:
+ * doc/CrtChannel.3:
+ * doc/DString.3:
+ * doc/ExprLong.3:
+ * doc/FileSystem.3:
+ * doc/GetStdChan.3:
+ * doc/OpenFileChnl.3:

+ * doc/TCL_MEM_DEBUG.3:
+ * doc/Tcl_Main.3:
+ * doc/Utf.3:
+ * doc/file.n:
+ * doc/tclsh.1: Several typo and formatting corrections discovered
+ during conversion to TMML. Thanks to Joe English. [Patch 490514]
+ * unix/mkLinks: 'make mklinks'
+
+2001-12-10 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+ * generic/tclCompExpr.c:
+ * generic/tclCompile.c:
+ * generic/tclCompile.h:
+ * generic/tclExecute.c:
+ * generic/tclProc.c: fixed the calculation of the maximal stack
+ depth required by bytecodes [Bug 483611].
+
+2001-12-07 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c:
+ * tests/trace.test: restored consistency in refCount accounting by
+ array traces [Bug #4484339], submitted by Don Porter.
+
+2001-12-06 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * tests/parseExpr.test, tests/for.test, tests/expr.test:
+ * tests/expr-old.test, tests/compile.test, tests/compExpr.test
+ * tests/compExpr-old.test: Kept up to date with syntax errors.
+ * generic/tclParseExpr.c (ParsePrimaryExpr): Rewrote to give even
+ better syntax errors in the fairly common case of an identifier
+ without decorations by guessing based on the currently available
+ functions. Also made messages consistent between memdebug and
+ ordinary builds.
+
+2001-12-05 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c:
+ * tests/trace.test: new algorithm for [array get], safe when there
+ are traces that modify the array [Bug #449893].
+
+2001-12-04 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * tests/compExpr-old.test, tests/compExpr.test, tests/compile.test:
+ * tests/expr-old.test, tests/expr.test, tests/for.test:
+ * tests/while.test, tests/if.test: Rewrite to handle more specific
+ syntax errors.
+ * tests/parseExpr.test: Rewrite to get rid of dup test numbers and
+ handle more specific syntax errors.
+ * generic/tclParseExpr.c (LogSyntaxError): Added a detail message
+ argument to help explain what the syntax error is.
+ (Tcl_ParseExpr, ParseCondExpr, ParsePrimaryExpr): Added detail
+ messages.
+ (UNKNOWN_CHAR): New lexeme for characters that are always illegal
+ in expressions outside strings.
+
+2001-12-03 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/expr.n: Various documentation improvements in relation to
+ the function calls. Includes fix for Bug #487704 submitted by
+ Devin Eyre.
+
+2001-12-03 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/makefile.vc: Some install target bugs repaired along with
+ $(TCLSTUBLIB) added to the dependencies rather than implicit through
+ the dde and reg extensions which don't happen to always require it
+ for some build types.
+
+2001-11-30 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c: Tcl_Preserve'ing VarTrace structures to avoid
+ memory corruption. Patch for [Bug: 484334] provided by Don Porter
+
+2001-11-29 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/namespace.test: modified namespace-41.2, added 41.3
+ {knownbug} after discussion with Don Porter and Kevin Kenny.
+
+2001-11-29 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/namespace.test: added namespace-41.2, a simpler test for
+ [Bug: 231259]
+
+2001-11-29 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclBinary.c (BINARY_SCAN_MAX_CACHE, Tcl_BinaryObjCmd,
+ ScanNumber): Added caching scheme to reduce number of object
+ allocations when doing scans of large repetitive binary strings.
+ See comments in file for reasoning behind implementation.
+ Suggested by Miguel Sofer in Patch #429916, but independently
+ implemented.
+
+2001-11-28 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/regsub.n, doc/regexp.n: Converted dangling references to
+ METASYNTAX section into references to the re_syntax manual page.
+
+2001-11-27 D. Richard Hipp <drh@hwaci.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinFCmd.c: Fix a coredump in the filename normalizer
+ code for Win95/98.
+
+2001-11-27 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/makefile.vc: Removed the Tk reference for the 'winhelp' target.
+ Converge at install will need to be the solution for Tk and all other
+ extensions.
+
+2001-11-27 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-24.2): Made test less sensitive to OS
+ preemption, but perfection isn't practical [Bug 463189, reported
+ by Don Porter.]
+
+ * tests/switch.test (switch-9.*): Added tests to exercise more of
+ the argument checking. (switch-7.2,switch-7.3): Test changed
+ behaviour slightly.
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Reworked argument parsing
+ to be stricter about what it accepts. This should make uses of
+ the [switch] command be more maintainable. [Bug 475397, reported
+ by Don Porter.]
+
+2001-11-26 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: 'make genstubs' after changes
+ in 2001-11-23 commit from Daniel Steffen.
+
+2001-11-24 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: Add comments to better describe
+ TCL_EXE and when it should be available.
+ * win/Makefile.in: Add TCL_EXE variable to be used
+ by rules like `make genstubs`. Don't set TCL_LIBRARY
+ before running `make genstubs` since we will be running
+ with a tclsh from the PATH not the one we build.
+
+2001-11-24 Mo DeJong <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/configure: Regen.
+ * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add comctl32.lib
+ to wish link libs. This change was originally added
+ to Tk on 2001-11-09 but was not committed to Tcl.
+
+2001-11-23 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in:
+ * unix/configure.in:
+ * unix/install-sh:
+ * unix/mkLinks:
+ * unix/mkLinks.tcl:
+ * unix/tclLoadDyld.c:
+ * unix/tclMtherr.c: Mac OSX support: build system, dynamic code loading
+ and support for case-insensitive filesystems in mkLinks (patch #435258)
+
+2001-11-23 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ Up-port to 8.4 of mac code changes for 8.3.3 & various new
+ changes for 8.4, some already backported to 8.3.4 (patch #435658)
+
+ * generic/tclObj.c: added #include to fix missing prototype errors
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: MAC_TCL: addition of ConditionalMacros.h and use of
+ DLLIMPORT and DLLEXPORT like on other platforms. ( => no longer need
+ the .exp files and can remove use of #pragma export that never worked
+ well)
+ removed line continuation in #if clause as this breaks the mac
+ resource compiler (note that *.r files include tcl.h)
+
+ * mac/tclMacFile.c: fixed bug in permission checking code
+
+ * mac/tclMacLoad.c: corrected utf8 handling, comparison of
+ package names to code fragment names changed to only match on the
+ length of package name, this allows for fragment names with version
+ numbers appended
+
+ * mac/tclMacInt.h:
+ * generic/tclInt.h:
+ * mac/tclMacTime.c:
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: moved declaration of TclpGetGMTOffset()
+
+ * mac/tclMacShLib.exp:
+ * mac/tclMacOSA.exp:
+ * mac/tclMacMSLPrefix.h: removed files
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: removed reference to .exp files
+
+ * mac/MW_TclBuildLibHeader.h:
+ * mac/MW_TclBuildLibHeader.pch:
+ * mac/MW_TclHeaderCommon.h:
+ * mac/MW_TclStaticHeader.h:
+ * mac/MW_TclStaticHeader.pch: new precompiled header files
+
+ * mac/MW_TclAppleScriptHeader.pch:
+ * mac/MW_TclHeader.pch:
+ * mac/MW_TclTestHeader.pch:
+ * mac/tclMacCommonPch.h: revised precompiled header handling: now
+ include a common header file 'MW_TclHeaderCommon.h' from all .pch
+ files, the .pch files themselves now only setup #defines (e.g.
+ BUILD_tcl, STATIC_BUILD, TCL_DEBUG, TCL_THREADS) like in makefiles on
+ other platforms.
+
+ * mac/tclMac.h:
+ * mac/tclMacPort.h:
+ * mac/tclMacInt.h: use of BUILD_tcl and TCL_STORAGE_CLASS like on other
+ platforms, standardize #include'd files to what's done on other
+ platforms, removed use of #pragma export.
+
+ * mac/tcltkMacBuildSupport.sea.hqx: new archive of mac build support
+ files & suggested build environment directory hierarchy:
+ 'Building MacTclTk' & 'CW Pro6 changes' readme's.
+ projects for MoreFiles 1.5.2 static & shared libraries.
+ project & sources for 'pseudoCarbonSupport', see below.
+ included XML versions of the projects for CW Pro5 or Pro7 users.
+
+ * mac/tclMacProjects.sea.hqx: updated mac build project files:
+ build support for CodeWarrior Pro6, UnivIntf 3.4 & shared runtime
+ libraries: the MSL libraries and MoreFiles are no longer compiled into
+ Tcl.shlb, all non-static binaries now use the Pro6 shared runtime
+ libraries and MoreFiles.shlb. These shlbs are merged into the standard
+ Wish and TclShell, but 3rd party applications linking with Tcl.shlb or
+ Tk.shlb need to setup access to them. (see the "(sh-ppc)" targets
+ for how to do this.)
+ included XML versions of the projects for CW Pro5 or Pro7 users.
+ use compat/strtod.c instead of MSL's strtod()
+ use WASTE versions of MSL for tcl test target to avoid text buffer
+ cutoff at 32k.
+ Merging the full MSL.shlb and the other shlbs into Wish & TclShell
+ makes them a bit larger than before, use unmerged binaries to avoid
+ copying the shared code with every application, e.g. when deploying
+ numerous Wish based droplets.
+ Note that using CW Pro5 to compile extensions is in principle still
+ possible, but need to link with Pro6 runtime libraries.
+ Tclapplescript now loads and runs on CFM68k.
+ Highly experimental "pseudoCarbon" support for Tcl only on OS 8/9:
+ binaries in "Build:(Carbon):" link against CarbonLib instead of
+ InterfaceLib, however the actual code has not been carbonized! i.e. it
+ will not run on OSX and may not even run properly with CarbonLib.
+ This should in principle allow you to build & test OS9 CFM Carbon
+ binaries that need to link with Tcl.shlb. On OSX you can use the
+ native Tcl.framework, but you have to build a MachO binary as there
+ is no CFM glue lib for Tcl.framework.
+ the library pseudoCarbonSupport.shlb manually loads the symbols
+ from InterfaceLib that are not in CarbonLib but are needed by the
+ uncarbonized code in Tcl.shlb and TclShell.
+
+ * generic/tclMain.c: MAC_TCL: workaround for broken/non-standard isatty
+ on MW Pro6, #include <unistd.h> instead of defining isatty
+
+ * mac/tclMacPort.h: MW Pro6 changes for MSL fcntl.h, stat.h & isatty
+
+ * mac/tclMacAppInit.c: add EXTERN to InstallConsole to enable DLL
+ export via the TCL_STORAGE_CLASS mechanism.
+
+ * mac/tclMacFCmd.c: fix for FSpDirectoryCopy API change
+
+ * mac/tclMacLibrary.c: emit compile time error when
+ TCL_REGISTER_LIBRARY and USE_TCL_STUBS are both defined at the same
+ time in an extension, this use is not currently supported and will
+ result in a crash when dynamically loading the extension.
+
+ * mac/tclMacApplication.r:
+ * mac/tclMacLibrary.r:
+ * mac/tclMacOSA.r:
+ * mac/tclMacResource.r: fixed obsolete copyrights/dates in version
+ strings; updated version strings to standard usage; added support for
+ '(Support Libraries)' subfolder for shared runtime libraries in
+ unmerged binaries; commented out demo setting of "Tcl Environment
+ Variables"; reorganized resources among these files to avoid
+ multiple copies in applications and shared libraries, the script
+ libraries are now no longer duplicated in Tclsh but are only included
+ in the resources of Tcl.shlb.
+
+ * mac/tclMacChan.c:
+ * mac/tclMacSock.c: cast for *BlockMode
+
+ * mac/tclMacUtil.c:
+ * mac/tclMacMath.h: removed obsolete hypot() definition
+
+ * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
+ * generic/tclInt.decls:
+ * generic/tclStubInit.c:
+ * mac/tclMacNotify.c:
+ * mac/tclMacOSA.c:
+ * mac/tclMacUtil.c:
+ * generic/tclThreadTest.c: renamed routines conflicting with standard
+ Apple or MoreFiles headers (at compile or link time):
+ GetGlobalMouse -> GetGlobalMouseTcl
+ FSpGetDirectoryID -> FSpGetDirectoryIDTcl
+ FSpOpenResFileCompat -> FSpOpenResFileCompatTcl
+ FSpCreateResFileCompat -> FSpCreateResFileCompatTcl
+ NewThread -> NewTestThread
+ the renamed MoreFiles *Tcl routines are just wrappers calling into the
+ MoreFiles DLL.
+
+ * mac/tclMacCommonPch.h:
+ * mac/tclMacThrd.c:
+ * mac/tclMacPanic.c: removed OLDROUTINENAMES define, renamed obsolete
+ apple API names to modern equivalents; UH3.4 support: added #include
+ <ControlDefinitions.h>, updated New*Proc() calls to New*UPP().
+
+ * mac/tclMacUnix.c: added missing (Tcl_Obj ***) cast to
+ Tcl_ListObjGetElements call
+
+ * mac/tclMacAlloc.c: modernized TclpSysAlloc() to use temporary
+ memory instead of system heap memory when available (MacOS
+ >= 7.5 and possibly earlier, use of system heap has been
+ discouraged for a long time and has many disadvantages, e.g. memory
+ isn't paged out, and errors can very easily bring the system down);
+ fixed crashing bug in TclpSysRealloc() and CleanUpExitProc() where
+ memory was being accessed after having been deallocated; fixed
+ memory leak in (de)allocation code (for every block ever allocated
+ with TclpSysAlloc, a Ptr was leaked), if temporary memory is
+ available, don't track allocated memory, instead use
+ RecoverHandle() to get Handle from Ptr, otherwise use doubly linked
+ list to correctly track memory and free all allocated memory; added
+ new option for ConfigureMemory: MEMORY_DONT_USE_TEMPMEM, disables
+ use of temporary memory even when it would be available, only
+ necessary when writing e.g. a driver (using tcl??); increased
+ fraction of application heap reserved for OS routines to 512K
+
+ * compat/strftime.c:
+ * mac/tclMacTime.c:
+ * mac/tclMacPort.h:
+ * generic/tclInt.decls:
+ * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
+ * generic/tclStubInit.c: timezone support for mac via
+ TclpGetTZName() like on windows, using an inverse timezone table
+ adapted from tclDate.c to map gmtoffset in seconds gotten from
+ the MacOS APIs to a timezone string, as there is no good way to get
+ this info from MacOS. I had to make up some unusual timezones and
+ arbitrarily decide on the most standard of the multiple choices
+ available for every timezone.
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: workaround for a MSL bug/misfeature: for
+ very small floats, MSL can return errno ERANGE but a
+ non-zero value ( < LDBL_MIN however)
+
+ * mac/tclMacAppInit.c: support for WASTE text library using
+ temporary memory, setting has no effect if WASTE is not used.
+
+ * mac/tclMacPanic.c: removed duplicate code from generic/tclPanic.c
+ and added that file to projects instead.
+
+ * tests/all.tcl: set tcltest::singleProcess 1 as multiple processes
+ are not available on the mac.

+ * generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Fixed bug #478856 reported by

+
+ * win/rules.vc (new):
+ * win/makefile.vc: Complete over/under rewrite to support numerous

+ running nmake for bootstraping the environment. Fully doc'd usage
+ for it is in makefile.vc. Commentary welcome. Sticky points left
+ are:
+
+ 1) winhelp target shows errors in the converting script.
+ 2) .rc scripts aren't getting the right #defines to build the correct
+ "OriginalFilename" strings. (have patch, won't commit yet)
+ 3) Naming convention with suffixes describing the buildtype are 'tsdx'
+ which will need public acceptance. ie. tclsh84tsx.exe is a (t)
+ threaded shell (s) statically linked to the core and (x) uses
+ msvcrt instead of libcmt.

+
+ * The changes below fix [Bug #462317] where Expect tried to read
+ more than was in the buffers and then blocked in the OS call as
+ its pty channel driver provides no blockmodeproc through which
+ the OS could be notified of blocking-behaviour. Because of this
+ the general I/O core has to take more care than usual to
+ preserve the semantics of non-blocking channels.
+
+ The problem was reported by "Kevin O'Gorman"
+ <kevin@kosmanor.com>.
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ReadRaw): Do not read from the driver if
+ the channel is non-blocking and the fileevent causing the read
+ was generated by a timer. We do not know if there is data
+ available from the OS. Instead of going to the OS for more and
+ potentially blocking we simply signal EWOULDBLOCK to the higher
+ levels to cause the system to wait for true fileevents.
+ (GetInput): Same as before.
+ (ChannelTimerProc): Added set and clear of CHANNEL_TIMER_FEV.
+
+ * generic/tclIO.h (CHANNEL_TIMER_FEV): New flag for channels. Is
+ set if a fileevent was generated by a timer, the channel is not
+ blocking and the driver did not provide a blockmodeproc. In that
+ case the I/O core has to be especially careful about going to
+ the driver for more data.

+
+ * generic/tclInt.decls: Also added 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels' to
+ the internal platform specific stub table.
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjStat): Now added the call to
+ 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels' to this function. I don't know where
+ my head was last thursday (2001-09-06), but the call was

+
+ * generic/tclInt.h:
+ * generic/tclFCmd.c:
+ * doc/FileSystem.3:

+2001-09-06 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * All the changes below serve to fix bug [219148] which reports a
+ 80x performance hit for file I/O on Win* systems. On my system
+ it was closer to a 120x hit. Problem report by Uwe Traum <no
+ email address available>.
+
+ The fix goes like this: The obstacle is 'FlushFileBuffers',
+ executed whenever Tcl writes data to the OS, as Tcl has to wait
+ for the disk to complete I/O, and disks are slow. We remove that
+ obstacle. This opens another problem, [file size] reports back
+ wrong numbers. So for [file size] we add the call back in. As
+ optimization we keep track of the channels which were written to
+ and flush only these.
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjStat): Added a call to
+ 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels'. This ensures that [file size] and
+ related commands report the correct size of a file even if Tcl
+ has recently written to it. Unixoid OS's always report the
+ correct size even for files with pending data, but Win*
+ syssystem don't. They only report what is actually on disk.
+
+ * win/tclWinInt.h: Added declaration of
+ 'TclWinFlushDirtyChannels', making it available to other parts
+ of the tcl core.
+
+ * win/tclWinChan.c (TclWinFlushDirtyChannels): New, internal,
+ procedure. Goes through the list of open file channels and
+ forces the OS to flush its file buffers for all which were
+ written to since the last call of this function. This is an
+ expensive operation as Tcl has to wait for the OS to complete
+ actual writes to the disk.
+
+ (FileInfo): Added dirty flag required by the procedure above.
+
+ (FileOutputProc): Removed flushing of file buffers, setting the
+ dirty flag instead. This means that the previously incurred
+ delays do not happen anymore.
+
+ (TclWinOpenFileChannel): Added initialization of 'dirty' flag.

+
+ * win/tclWinThrd.c: Revisited _beginthreadex() stuff. Instead
+ of assuming a c-runtime implimentation of _beginthreadex normal,
+ I reversed the logic to not assume, and use when is by explicitly
+ needing to add runtimes that support it such as Borland.
+
+ * generic/tcl.h:
+ * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: Borland compatibility change so
+ ClientData was properly typed as a void* and TCHAR would not be
+ defined twice.
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Removed a small mistake from before. Changes to
+ the EXTERN macro for proper Borland compatibility will have to see
+ a TIP. What's this with the MS compiler:
+
+ __declspec(dllexport) int func (int a, int b);
+
+ will have to be this with Borland:
+
+ int __cdecl __export func (int a, int b);
+
+ The order of the attribute needs to be after the return type.

+ Required change to Tcl_Filesystem lookup table, so incompatible
+ with 8.4a3, but not older versions of Tcl. The change also
+ allows 'link' and 'reporting' filesystems to function correctly
+ when loading files. Implementation of 'file delete -force'

+ Made sure filesystems which are registered and then unregistered
+ are only freed when all references to them are gone.
+ Documented changes.
+ * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: when deleting directories recursively,

+ fixes [Bug: 219139]
+ * tests/winFCmd.test: differentiated test results for win2k

+
+ * win/tclWinThrd.c: Portability fix for Cygwin who's c-runtime,

+ Borland, lcc32, Watcom and other support as well.
+ [Patch: 444255]
+
+ * win/tclWinThrd.c: Moved FinalizeConditionEvent() proto to within
+ the main #ifdef TCL_THREADS block to avoid mingw warning about it
+ being there but unused.
+
+ * win/makefile.vc: Added -Zl (zee el) to tclStubLib.c compile line
+ to make sure the tclstub84.lib static library is built without

+
+ * tests/compile.test: added compile-11.* interp result checks
+ * generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): added Tcl_ResetResult
+ before Tcl_AppendStringsToObj to prevent shared object crash when

+
+ Further fs updates. After examining the most common Tcl
+ extensions (TclX, BLT, Tk, TclPro, Mktclapp), it has been
+ determined that only TclpGetCwd and the Access/Stat/Open
+ insert/delete hooks of the internal fs functions are ever used.
+ The remaining functions from Tcl's internal interfaces have
+ therefore been removed, since Tcl now exports a more suitable
+ public API (Tcl_FS...)
+
+ * generic/tclInt.stubs:
+ * generic/tclInt.h: updated for removed internal functions.
+ Some new internal functions have been put in tclInt.h (and
+ not exported in the stub table because good public equivalents
+ exist).
+ * generic/tclTest.c: some test functions used the internal private
+ APIs. These tests have been retained, but modified to use
+ public APIs. Also objectified the internal filesystem tests.
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: removed TclpStat, TclpAccess and refactored
+ code to use NativeAccess, NativeStat. This should speed up
+ stat, access and glob commands.
+ * win/tclWinFCmd.c: removed all TclpCopy/Rename/Delete
+ File/Directory string-based procedures which aren't used any more.
+ Improved efficiency of some other procedures. Ensure that filename
+ conversions with a NULL interp do not crash Tcl.
+ * mac/tclMacFCmd.c: wrapped long lines and cleaned up
+ TclpObjNormalizePath, removed all TclpCopy/Rename/Delete
+ File/Directory string-based procedures which aren't used any more.
+ * mac/tclMacFile.c: removed obsolete TclpStat, TclpAccess, TclpChdir,
+ etc.
+ * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: removed use of TclpAccess, removed all

+ aren't used any more.
+ * unix/tclUnixFile.c: removed obsolete TclpStat, TclpAccess, TclpChdir,
+ etc.
+ * tcl(Unix|Mac|Win)Chan.c: objectified TclpOpenFileChannel.
+ * various 'load' implementations all objectified.
+ * generic/tclFileName.c: removed redundant code.
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: removed TclStat, TclAccess, TclpListVolumes.
+ Fix to MatchInDirectory at the root of a volume. Also improved
+ some documentation, and improved default path joining behaviour
+ for virtual filesystems, especially regarding '~'.
+ * tests/fileName.test: added tests to check for bugs fixed above.

+
+ Variety of small filesystem and vfs issues fixed or improved.
+ The new fs code allows many new opportunities for efficiency
+ improvements through the objectified API. The main changes
+ integrated here are such efficiency improvements. Some
+ limitations of the original implementation have also now been
+ lifted. Meanwhile a variety of fs bugs (some old, some new)
+ have also been fixed.
+
+ * generic/tclFileName.c: Made Tcl_FSSplitPath more efficient,
+ and removed some static string-based procedures which are no
+ longer used. Much more objectification. Tcl_FSJoinPath
+ is now very efficient and more aware of virtual filesystems.
+ Clarified where the Mac-specific code attempts to interpret
+ Unix-style paths. Modified TclDoGlob to use lstat not
+ access to fix [Bug: 434876, L. Virden]
+ * tcl(Win|Unix|Mac)FCmd.c:
+ * tcl(Win|Unix|Mac)File.c: replaced TclpListVolumes with
+ TclpObjListVolumes with different signature, updated code due
+ to more efficient signature of Tcl_FSGetTranslatedPath. Used
+ cached native paths where possible to improve efficiency --
+ this was completed on MacOS, but on Unix and Win the traversal
+ functions make the task much more complex, so there are still
+ some improvements possible there. Removed unused
+ TclpNormalizePath which had been left in tclWinFCmd.c.
+ Objectified all 'file attributes' functions. Fixed the new
+ [Bug:451571, Bruce Stephens] which is most obvious on Unix,
+ but could occur on MacOS or Windows. This bug actually existed
+ in Tcl 8.3.x but was only made obvious by the recent filesystem
+ overhaul when the code was exercised more heavily.
+ * tests/fileName.test: Three new tests to exercise the above bug,
+ and make sure it is fixed correctly.
+ * unix/tclUnixFile.c: avoid panic in glob when a link
+ doesn't point anywhere. It would probably be good to define
+ exactly what Tcl should do in circumstances like these, and
+ make sure mac/win/unix all behave accordingly. [Bug: 417111,
+ Hemang Lavana]. Also fixed misleading/obsolete comment in the code.
+ * generic/tcl.stubs: changed signature of Tcl_FSGetTranslatedPath
+ and added Tcl_FSGetTranslatedStringPath.
+ These changes allow further optimisations in the FS code.
+ * generic/tcl.h: changed signature of Tcl_FSListVolumes so that
+ it doesn't require a Tcl interpreter plus result. Renamed
+ Tcl_FSReadLink to Tcl_FSLink with additional argument so
+ we can support making links in the future. [Patch: 450340]
+ * generic/tclInt.h:
+ added declaration for TclpObjListVolumes. Objectified
+ internal call signatures for 'file attributes' functions, and
+ added an internal objectified get path type function.
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: added the moved function TclpListVolumes
+ which calls platform specific code (needed for backwards
+ compatibility), and improved efficiency of parts of the FS
+ (particularly file normalization). Much less copying and
+ memory allocation is required now. added new GetPathType
+ so that changes in 'file volumes' can actually affect files'
+ types, and objectified more code. Made current code work
+ with test suite artificially changing current platform.
+ Added 'static' keywords where required.
+ * generic/tclIO.c:
+ * generic/tclTest.c: Added 'static' keywords, fixing
+ [Bug: 453872, Bob Techentin]
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c: file command implementation updated for
+ API changes, removed unnecessary special-case SplitPath static
+ function, since it no longer helps prevent code duplication.
+ Moved setting of interpreter result to each individual location
+ that actually required it, to avoid very large code separation
+ between reading and setting the result.
+ * doc/FileSystem.3: updated documentation for the new or
+ changed APIs, and clarified some issues.
+ * doc/SplitPath.3: added pointer to newer APIs in FileSystem.3
+ * doc/filename.n: clarified current implementation of tilde
+ support on Mac/Win. [Bug:453514, Sergey Kuzmin]
+ * doc/glob.n: improved documentation for '-directory' and '-path'
+ options.
+
+ There are now many private, obsolete, platform-specific 'Tclp'
+ string-based filesystem APIs which could be removed. We should
+ check whether any of these are used by extensions and, at least
+ in Tcl 9, remove them.
+
+ The above changes signify a ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+ with 8.4a3, since signatures of two functions in the new API
+ have changed, but not with older versions of Tcl.

+ * tools/tcl.wse.in:
+ * tools/tcl.hpj.in:
+ * win/tcl.hpj.in: Removed -kb storage in CVS to ensure these text
+ files are checked-out in the translation mode CVS is in. Setting
+ these as binary as part of an effort to make sure they are always
+ in CRLF, no matter what the CVS translation, is bypassing how CVS
+ works and is confusing.

+ * win/README.binary: updated for 8.4a3 release
+
+ * generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_FSSplitPath): update to Tcl style

+ introduction of vfs code where a new Tcl_Obj wasn't freed.
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd, Tcl_RegsubObjCmd):

+2001-08-03 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+ * win/configure: regenerated
+ * win/tcl.m4: fixed DLLSUFFIX definition to always be ${DBGX}.dll.
+ This is necessary for TEA compliant builds that build shared
+ against a static-built Tcl.
+ * win/Makefile.in ($(TCLSH)): added $(TCL_STUB_LIB_FILE) to build
+ target, otherwise it wouldn't get generated in a static build.
+
+2001-08-06 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Applied patch from SF item
+ [442665] to fix the bug reported by it. The function can corrupt
+ a freed object if it is called with objc == 3. This is because
+ it retrieves resultPtr and does not increment its reference
+ count, but then calls Tcl_ObjSetVar2, which causes the retrieved
+ resultPtr object to be released.
+
+2001-08-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+2001-07-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2001-07-18 Mo DeJong <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+ * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: Define TCHAR by including
+ windows.h instead of tchar.h since Cygwin does not
+ support the tchar.h header. Include CHECK_UNICODE_CALLS
+ logic from tclWinPort.h.
+ * win/tclWinPort.h: Remove CHECK_UNICODE_CALLS logic.
+ Remove include of windows.h since this now done it
+ tclPlatDecls.h.
+ * win/tclWinReg.c: Remove duplicate include of windows.h.
+
+2001-07-18 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c: Aftermath to [SF #427196]. Squash empty buffers

+ reusage of old buffers and to honor changes in the requested
+ buffersize made by the user.
+
+2001-07-17 Mo DeJong <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c (TclpReadlink): Add Cygwin specific definition
+ for the TclpReadlink function. This method implements reading of
+ symbolic links when build with Cygwin.
+
+2001-07-17 Mo DeJong <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinPort.h: Add Cygwin specific defines for environ
+ and timezone variables.
+
+2001-07-17 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (GetInput): Fixed [SF #427196]. Memory was
+ overwritten because a buffer was used after a change of the
+ requested buffersize together with that requested buffersize and
+ not its actual size, which was smaller. Note that the continous
+ reuse of the smaller buffer negatively impacts performance. The
+ system never allocates a buffer with the newly requested bigger
+ buffersize.
+
+2001-07-16 Mo DeJong <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Define __WIN32__ when
+ __CYGWIN__ or __MINGW32__ is defined.

+ already defined when compiling with Cygwin.

+ effort since these headers do not exist under Cygwin.
+
+2001-07-16 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc): constrained the mutex lock to
+ just the TerminateThread call and waiting for termination. (jsmith)
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Removed extra copy of the SCAN_* macros
+ #defined in generic/tclScan.c. (porter) [Bug 441230]
+
+2001-07-12 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.8): Added extra constraint,
+ notInstalledInTmp, to stop this test from damaging installations
+ in /tmp; not much fun to have to reinstall the Tcl library every
+ time you run the test suite!
+
+ * tests/subst.test (subst-10.*): Updated tests to check new
+ behaviour for 'break' in command substitutions.
+ (subst-1.2,subst-7.1): Error messages changed.
+ * doc/SubstObj.3: New file, to document Tcl_SubstObj.
+ * doc/subst.n: Improved and updated documentation for 'subst' to
+ help support the changed behaviour.
+ * generic/tcl.decls (generic-437): Declaration for Tcl_SubstObj
+ * generic/tcl.h (TCL_SUBST_*): Added flags for Tcl_SubstObj.
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj,Tcl_SubstObjCmd): Divided into
+ two parts to allow people to access the innards of 'subst' and
+ changed the behaviour when command substitutions do a 'break' to
+ be different from 'continue'. Also now works with objects, which
+ allows for some nifty optimisations with variable substitutions
+ and a slight improvement with command substitutions. [TIP#36]
+
+2001-07-10 Mo DeJong <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: Add AR variable for use in STLIB_LD.
+ * unix/configure: Regen.
+ * unix/configure.in: Use STLIB_LD when defining MAKE_LIB
+ and MAKE_STUB_LIB. Subst RANLIB and AR.
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add doc comment about
+ STLIB_LD command. Check ${AR} env var when setting
+ STLIB_LD and delay evaluation until make time.
+ * win/configure: Regen.
+ * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Delay evaluation of
+ ${AR} in STLIB_LD and add flags to better match the
+ Unix implementation. Don't bother defining AR when
+ using VC++ since it is not used.
+
+2001-07-06 Mo DeJong <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+ * win/configure: Regen.
+ * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Pass -e _WinMain@16 in

+ entry point when both WinMain() and main() are available.
+
+2001-07-06 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * tests/cmdAH.test: Added leading zero to file modes to work

+ [Bug #438808]
+
+2001-07-05 Mo DeJong <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+ * win/Makefile.in: Subst DEPARG directly instead
+ of relying on a variable. This will make Cygwin
+ builds faster since an extra exec will be avoided.
+ * win/configure: Regen.
+ * win/configure.in: Subst DEPARG.
+ * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Move AC_MSG_CHECKING
+ after the AC_CHECK_PROG so that status messages do
+ not get mixed together. Set DEPARG based on the
+ results of the cygpath check so that we avoid using
+ an extra exec when it is not needed. Use ac_cv_cygwin
+ status flag instead of looking at the output of
+ gcc -v, which works in the case where -mno-cygwin is
+ set in the CFLAGS.

+ cross compiles.
+
+2001-07-03 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+ * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_VariableObjCmd): added patch to check for

+ * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_GetVar2Ex): added ability to recognize
+ TCL_TRACE_READS flags to cause creation of part1 in TclLookupVar
+ to make sure newly created array will get read traces triggered
+ appropriately. This is called by Tcl_ObjGetVar2, Tcl_GetVar, and
+ Tcl_GetVar2.
+ (TclSetIndexedScalar, TclSetElementOfIndexedArray): added read
+ trace triggering for lappend case.
+ (Tcl_LappendObjCmd): pass TCL_TRACE_READS to Tcl_ObjGetVar2 to
+ trigger possible read traces for new arrays.
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): added TCL_TRACE_READS

+ newly created arrays. Removed unnecessary #ifdef for
+ TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG in INST_LOAD_SCALAR1 case.
+
+ * tests/append.test:

+2001-07-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.8): Changed test back to using

+
+2001-07-03 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-1.2): Fixed faults reported in

+
+ * generic/tclInt.h:

+ * win/configure:
+ * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Don't set LDFLAGS_DEBUG

+
+ * tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-1.2,unixInit-2.8): Added test for
+ code described below, and fixed a couple of errors that caused
+ problems during testing; the code to determine the installedTcl
+ constraint was wrong, and test unixInit-2.8 assumed that /tmp/lib
+ was free for use and could be deleted, which clashed nastily with
+ my installation and made other tests fail unnecessarily!
+
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyInit,TclpOpenFileChannel,
+ Tcl_MakeFileChannel,TclpGetDefaultStdChannel): Alterations so that
+ the standard channels - stdin, stdout and stderr - have the
+ correct type and fconfigure options. This required making the
+ initialisation of serial lines a little more sophisticated to
+ make the console behave correctly in interactive mode... [Bug
+ #219137 and duplicates]

+ * All of the changes below belong to TIP #10 [Tcl I/O Enhancement:
+ Thread-Aware Channels]. See also [Patch #403358] at SF.
+
+ * generic/tclIO.h (struct ChannelState, line 236f): Extended the
+ structure with a new field of type 'Tcl_ThreadId' to hold the id
+ of the thread currently managing all channels with this state.
+
+ Note: This structure is shared by all channels in a stack of
+ transformations.
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CreateChannel, lines 1058-1065): Modified
+ to store the Id of the current thread in the 'ChannelState' of
+ the new channel.
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SpliceChannel, lines 2265-2270): Modified
+ in the same manner as 'Tcl_CreateChannel' as the channel will be
+ managed by the current thread afterward.
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetChannelThread, lines 1478-1503):
+ * generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_GetChannelThread, lines 1504-1506): New
+ API function to retrieve the Id of the managing thread from a
+ channel. Implementation and declaration.
+
+ * generic/tclTest.c (TestChannelCmd, lines 4520-4532): Added
+ subcommand 'mthread' to query a channel about its managing
+ thread.
+
+2001-03-29 Mo DeJong <mdejong@redhat.com>
+
+ * tests/interp.test: Print out warning when
+ testinterpdelete command is not defined.
+ Add tests that checks to make sure a
+ child interp inherits the parent's cwd.
+
+2001-03-29 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@gimlet.activestate.com>
+
+ * doc/tcltest.n: corrected incorrect macro usage.
+
+ * doc/lsort.n: corrected unbalanced nroff macros.
+
+ * unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): prevent potential race
+ condition and security leak in tmp filename creation.
+ (max) [Patch #402924]
+
+ * unix/configure:
+ * unix/tcl.m4: corrected IRIX-5.x config to not use -n32.
+ (english) [Patch #403626]
+
+ * unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_ConditionWait): fixed handling of
+ timeout for threads (corrects excessive CPU usage issue for Tk on
+ Unix in threaded Tcl environment). (ruppert) [Bug #411603]
+
+2001-03-29 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/lsort.n: Added some notes that clarify the behaviour of
+ [lsort] as well as a whole bunch of examples. [Bug #219202]
+
+2001-03-27 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@gimlet.activestate.com>
+
+ * doc/Alloc.3: corrected docs to note that Tcl_Attempt* return
+ char *'s, not ints. [Bug #411388]
+
+ * tests/regexp.test (regexp-19.1):
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): fixed handling of nulls
+ in subspec value.
+
+2001-03-26 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclDecls.h (Tcl_InitCustomHashTable): Correction to
+ patch from 2001-01-18; tclDecls.h was not generated using
+ 'make genstubs'.
+
+2001-03-26 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * win/tclWinInt.h (tclWinTCharEncoding): Removed as now a static
+ variable in win/tclWin32Dll.c instead.
+
+2001-03-23 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): Corrected retrieval of
+ resultPtr to prevent possible corruption.
+
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_Import): Correctly freed a DString.
+ (lavana) [Patch #403755]
+
+2001-03-15 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * tests/set-old.test (set-old-7.2): Changed error behaviour of
+ [unset] to agree with documentation, so must change test as well.
+
+2001-03-14 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * library/package.tcl (pkg_mkIndex): Added patch from Vince
+ Darley to make [pkg_mkIndex -verbose] even more verbose.
+ [Bug 219349, Patch 403529]
+
+2001-03-13 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/info.n: Improved documentation for [info hostname].
+ [Bug #403840]
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UnsetObjCmd): Made command behave as
+ documented [issue remaining from bug #405769]
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): A missing
+ {return TCL_OK;} was causing memory corruption. [Bug #408002]
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclDeleteExecEnv, GrowEvaluationStack,
+ TclExecuteByteCode): Added some casts to ClientData that are
+ apparently needed on some architectures.
+
+2001-03-12 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * tests/string.test: Fixed some test numberings and added a test.
+ [Patch #403229]
+
+2001-03-06 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UnsetObjCmd): Rewrote argument parser to
+ avoid a read off the end of the argument array that could occur
+ when executing something like [unset -nocomplain] was executed.
+ Improved the error message given when too few arguments are given
+ (-nocomplain should obviously be *before* --, not after it) and
+ also modified the test suite to take account of that and the
+ documentation to use the same improvement. [Bug 405769]
+
+2001-03-02 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Fixed bug that could
+ pass pointers to freed memory to command implementations, which
+ most obviously caused some weird behaviour with [info level], but
+ could have caused problems with user code and command traces too.
+ [Bug 404865, Patch 405436]
+
+2001-02-23 msofer <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+ * no changes; fixing up the missing comment in the previous one.
+ Sorry.
+
+2001-02-23 msofer <msofer@ant.utdt>
+
+ * /cvsroot/tcl/tcl/tests/execute.test:
+ added test for evaluation of an expression in a variable; evals once
+ by compiling, second time using the previous compilation
+
+2001-02-18 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * doc/clock.n: Updated documentation to reflect the addition of
+ compat/strftime.c, including the correct formatting of
+ ISO-8601:1988 fiscal week number (%V).
+
+2001-02-15 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SplitObjCmd): Improved efficiency of
+ splitting strings into individual characters by adding hash so
+ that only one Tcl_Obj per character is created. Improves
+ performance of splitting of short strings and makes a huge
+ difference to splitting of long strings, such as is done in the
+ mime package in tcllib. [Bug #131523]
+
+2001-01-31 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/makefile.vc (install-libraries): Corrected misdirected
+ install directory for the msgcat 1.2 package.
+
+2001-01-30 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Moved code that updates the count
+ of how many bytes are left to copy. Corrects bug that when
+ writing occurs in the background, the copy loop could be
+ escaped without updating the count, causing CopyData() to try
+ to copy more bytes than the toRead value originally passed to
+ TclCopyChannel(), leading to hangs and misreporting of number
+ of bytes copied. [Bug 118203, Patch 103432]
+
+2001-01-18 Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>
+
+ * Everything below belongs together, it fixes bug #123153.
+
+ * generic/tcl.h (line 342): A bit more explanation about the
+ default value for TCL_PRESERVE_BINARY_COMPATABILITY.
+
+ * generic/tcl.h (line 1208): Define the macro 'Tcl_InitHashTable'
+ only when TCL_PRESERVE_BINARY_COMPATIBILITY is not set
+ as it kills binary compatibility to 8.3 and earlier
+ versions. This is the main part of the patch/change.
+
+ * generic/tcl.decls (line 1469):
+ * generic/tclHash.c (Tcl_InitHashTable):
+ * generic/tclHash.c (Tcl_InitHashTableEx):
+ * generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_InitObjHashTable): Changed
+ 'Tcl_InitHashTableEx' to 'Tcl_InitCustomHashTable'. This change
+ is more of an estethical nature, replacing the ubiquitous 'Ex'
+ suffix with a more meaningful name. The introduced binary
+ incompatibility is deemed acceptable as it is between alpha
+ versions. Updated callers.
+
+ * doc/Hash.3:
+ * unix/mkLinks: Changed 'Tcl_InitHashTableEx' to
+ 'Tcl_InitCustomHashTable'.
+
+2001-01-10 Donal K. Fellows <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+ * tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-1.20):
+ * tests/winDde.test (createChildProcess):
+ * tests/pkgMkIndex.test (pkgtest::createIndex): Removed
+ assumption that paths contain no spaces which causes problems with
+ both [eval] and [open |...] due to the well-known differences
+ between lists and strings. Fixes bug #119406
+
+2001-01-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/unixInit.test:
+ * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):
+ * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): Several entries in
+ the library path ($tcl_libPath) are determined relative to the
+ absolute path of the executable. When the executable is
+ installed in or near the root directory of the file system,
+ relative pathnames were being incorrectly generated, and in
+ the worst case, memory access violations were crashing the program.
