+2002-12-18  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: some uses of xcopy swapped to the @$(CPY) macro.
+	Reported by Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>.
+
+2002-12-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier, Tcl_SetServiceMode): 
+	(Tcl_ThreadAlert): Check that the stub functions are non-NULL
+	before calling them.  They could be set to NULL by Tcl_SetNotifier.
+
+2002-12-16  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCleanupChildren):
+	* tests/winPipe.test:
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid):
+	* win/tclWinTest.c:  Gave Tcl_WaitPid the ability to return a
+	Win32 exception code translated into a posix style SIG*.  This
+	allows [close] to report "CHILDKILLED" without the meaning
+	getting lost in a truncated exit code.  In TclCleanupChildren(),
+	TclpGetPid() had to get moved to before Tcl_WaitPid() as the
+	the handle is removed from the list taking away the ability
+	to get the process id after the wait is done.  This shouldn't
+	effect the unix implimentaion unless waitpid is called with
+	a pid of zero, meaning "any".  I don't think it is..
+
+2002-12-13  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure.in:	Updated configure of CVS snapshots to reflect
+	* win/configure.in:	the 8.4.1.1 patchlevel.
+
+	* unix/configure:	autoconf
+	* win/configure		autoconf
+
+2002-12-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (ProcessProcResultCode): Fix failure to
+	  propagate negative return codes up the call stack. [Bug 647307]
+	* tests/proc.test (proc-6.1): Test for Bug 647307
+
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c (TclParseInteger):  Return 1 for the
+	string "0x" (recognize leading "0" as an integer).  [Bug 648441].
+	* tests/parseExpr.test (parseExpr-19.1): Test for Bug 648441.
+
+2002-12-09  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpMasterUnlock):
+	* generic/tclThread.c (TclFinalizeThreadData): TclpMasterUnlock
+	must exist and be called unconditional of TCL_THREADS. [Bug #651139]
+
+2002-12-08  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c (SocketThreadExitHandler, InitSockets):  Check
+	that the tsdPtr is valid before dereferencing as we call it from
+	the exit handler, too [Bug 650353].  Another WSAStartup() loaded
+	version comparison byte swap issue fixed.  Although 0x0101 byte
+	swapped is still 0x0101, properly claiming which is major/minor
+	is more correct.
+
+2002-12-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: regen
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: regen
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: added TclWinResetInterface
+
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclWinResetInterfaces):
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings, WinEncodingsCleanup):
+	add exit handler that resets the encoding information to a state
+	where we can reuse Tcl.  Following these changes, it is possible
+	to reuse Tcl (following Tcl_FindExecutable or Tcl_CreateInterp)
+	following a Tcl_Finalize.
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclFinalizeFilesystem): reset statics to
+	their original values on finalize to allow reuse of the library.
+
+2002-12-04  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c: reverted back to -r1.27 due to numerous test
+	failures that need to be resolved first.  The idea was good,
+	but the details aren't.
+	
+2002-12-04  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid):  When a process exits with an
+	exception, pass this notice on to the caller with a SIG* code
+	rather than truncating the exit code and missing the meaning.
+	This allows TclCleanupChildren() to report "CHILDKILLED".
+
+	This has a different behavior than unix in that closing the
+	read pipe to a process sends the SIGPIPE signal which is
+	returned as a SIGPIPE exit status.  On windows, we send the
+	process a CTRL_BREAK_EVENT and get back a CONTROL_C_EXIT which
+	is documented to mean a SIGINT which seems wrong as a system,
+	but is the correct exit status.
+
+2002-12-04  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to redirected 'load' in virtual
+	filesystem for some Unix systems.
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c: the filesystem must be cleaned up before
+	the encoding subsystem because it needs access to encodings.
+	Fixes crash on exit observed in embedded applications.
+
+	* generic/tclTestObj.c: patch omitted from previous change
+	of 2002-11-13
+	
+2002-12-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclStubLib.c (Tcl_InitStubs): prevent the cached check of
+	tclStubsPtr to allow for repeated load/unload of the Tcl dll by
+	hosting apps. [Bug 615304]
+
+2002-12-03  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c (sigHandler):  Protect from trying to close a
+	NULL handle.
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc, TclpCreateProcess):  Send a
+	real Win32 signal (CTRL_C_EVENT) when the read channel is brought
+	down to alert the child to close on its side.  Start the process
+	with CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP to allow the ability to send these
+	signals.  The following test case now brings down the child
+	without the use of an external [kill] command.
+
+	% set p [open "|[info name]" w+]
+	file8d5380
+	% pid $p
+	2876
+	% close $p     <- now doesn't block in Tcl_WaitPid()
+	%
+
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc):  Changed CTRL_C_EVENT
+	to CTRL_BREAK_EVENT as it can't be ignored by the child and
+	proved to work on [open "|netstat 1" w+] where CTRL_C_EVENT
+	didn't.
+
+2002-11-27  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:  Don't turn off winsock prototypes!
+	TclX didn't like it.  Even though the core doesn't use the
+	prototypes, do offer them.
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c:  Removed shutdown() from the function
+	table as it wasn't referenced anywhere and cleaned-up some
+	casting that that wasn't needed.
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c:  WSAStartup() loaded version comparison
+	error which resulted in 2.0 looking less than 1.1.
+
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel):  return of
+	DuplicateHandle() incorrectly used [Bug 618852].
+
+2002-11-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclFinalizeEncodingSubsystem): properly
+	cleanup all encodings by using Tcl_FirstHashEntry in the while loop.
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in (valgrind): add simple valgrind target
+
+	* tests/exec.test: unset path var to allow singleproc testing
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (AliasCreate): preserve/release interps to
+	prevent possible FMR error in bad alias cases.
+
+2002-11-26  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:
+	* win/tclWinSock.c:  This patch does two things:
+
+	1) Cleans-up the winsock typedefs by using the typedefs
+	provided by winsock2.h.  This has no effect on how winsock
+	is initialized; just makes the source code easier to read.
+	[Patch 561305 561301]
+
+	2) Revamps how the socket message handler thread is brought
+	up and down to allow for cleaner exits without the use of
+	TerminateThread().  TerminateThread is evil.  No attempt has
+	been made to resolve [Bug 593810] which may need a new
+	channel driver version for adding a registering function
+	within the transfered thread to init the handler thread.
+	IOW, initialization of the TSD structure is getting bypassed
+	through the thread extension's [thread::transfer] command.
+
+2002-11-26  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinConsole.c:
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c:
+	* win/tclWinSock.c:
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c:
+	* win/tclWinTime.c:  General cleanup of all worker threads used
+	by the channel drivers.  Eliminates the normal case where the
+	worker thread is terminated ('cept the winsock one).  Instead,
+	use kernel events to signal a clean exit.  Only when the worker
+	thread is blocked on an I/O call is the thread terminated.
+	Essentially, this makes all other channel worker threads behave
+	like the PipeReaderThread() function for it's cleaner exit
+	behavior.  This appears to fix [Bug 597924] but needs 3rd party
+	confirmation to close the issue.
+
+2002-11-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/README: Update msys build env URL. This
+	release #4 build both tcl and tk without problems.
+
+2002-11-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* library/init.tcl:         code cleanup to reduce use of
+	* library/opt/optparse.tcl: string compare
+
+	* tests/interp.test: interp-14.4
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (TclPreventAliasLoop): prevent seg fault
+	when creating an alias command over the interp name. [Bug #641195]
+
+2002-11-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (SetEndOffsetFromAny): handle integer offset
+	after the "end-" prefix.
+
+	* generic/get.test:
+	* generic/string.test:
+	* generic/tclObj.c (SetIntFromAny, SetWideIntFromAny): 
+	* generic/tclGet.c (TclGetLong, Tcl_GetInt): simplify sign
+	handling before calling strtoul(l). [Bug #634856]
+
+2002-11-18  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread/TclpThreadExit): Fixed
+	improper compiler macros that missed the VC++ compiler.  This
+	resulted in VC++ builds using CreateThread()/ExitThread() in place
+	of the proper _beginthreadex()/_endthreadex().  This was a large
+	error and am surprised I missed seeing it earlier.
+
+2002-11-13  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/regexpComp.test: added tests 22.*
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): add left and right
+	anchoring (^ and $) recognition and check starting or ending .* to
+	extend the number of REs that can be compiled to string match or
+	string equal.
+
+2002-11-13  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
+	* tests/trace.test: applied patch from Hemang Levana to fix
+	[Bug #615043] in execution traces with 'return -code error'.
+	
+	* generic/tclTestObj.c:
+	* tests/stringObj.test: added 'knownBug' test for [Bug 635200]
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c: corrected typos in comments
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c:
+	* tests/fileName.test: applied patch for bug reported against
+	tclvfs concerning handling of Windows serial ports like 'com1',
+	'lpt3' by the virtual filesystem code.
+
+	* doc/RegExp.3: clarification of the 'extendMatch' return
+	values.
+
+2002-11-11  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_Backslash): use TclUtfToUniChar.
+	(Tcl_StringCaseMatch): use TclUtfToUniChar and add further
+	optimizations for the one-byte/char case.
+
+	* generic/tclUtf.c: make use of TclUtfToUniChar macro throughout
+	the functions, and add extra optimization to Tcl_NumUtfChars for
+	one-byte/char case.
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (DisposeTraceResult, CallVarTraces): add proper
+	static declarations.
+
+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_GetCharLength): optimize for the
+	ascii char case.
+	(Tcl_GetUniChar): remove unnecessary use of Tcl_UtfToUniChar.
+	(FillUnicodeRep): Use TclUtfToUniChar.
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey): move string++ lower to save
+	an instruction.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): improve INST_STR_CMP
+	to use memcmp in the one-byte/char case, also use direct index for
+	INST_STR_INDEX in that case.
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (UtfToUtfProc, UtfToUnicodeProc): 
+	(TableFromUtfProc, EscapeFromUtfProc): Use TclUtfToUniChar.
+	(UnicodeToUtfProc, TableToUtfProc): add 1-byte char optimizations
+	for Tcl_UniCharToUtf call.  These improve encoded channel
+	conversion speeds by up to 20%.
+
+	* tests/split.test: added 1-char string split tests
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SplitObjCmd): Use TclUtfToUniChar.
+	Also added a special case for single-ascii-char splits.
+	(Tcl_StringObjCmd): Use TclUtfToUniChar.
+	For STR_RANGE, support getting ranges of ByteArrays (reverts
+	change from 2000-05-26).
+	(TraceExecutionProc) add proper static declaration.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: add macro version of Tcl_UtfToUniChar
+	(TclUtfToUniChar) that does the one-byte utf-char check without
+	calling Tcl_UtfToUniChar, for use by the core.  This brings
+	notable speedups for primarily ascii string handling.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h (TCL_PATCH_LEVEL): bump to 8.4.1.1 for patchlevel
+	only.  This interim number will only be reflected by
+	[info patchlevel].
+
+2002-11-11  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+	* doc/Tcl.n: Corrected indentation of the new language.  Oops.
+	
+2002-11-10  Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* doc/Tcl.n: Added language to the Endekalogue to make it clear
+	that substitutions always take place from left to right. [Bug
+	#635644]
+
+2002-11-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes: Note TclInExit TclInThreadExit changes.
+	* generic/tclEvent.c (TclInExit, TclInThreadExit):
+	Split out functionality of TclInExit to make it
+	clear which one should be called in each situation.
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: Declare TclInThreadExit.
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: Regen.
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regen.
+	* mac/tclMacChan.c (StdIOClose):
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileCloseProc):
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (FileCloseProc):
+	* win/tclWinConsole.c (ConsoleCloseProc):
+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCloseFile):
+	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialCloseProc): Invoke the
+	new TclInThreadExit method instead of TclInExit.
+
+2002-11-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Generate a fatal
+	configure error if no ar program can be found on the
+	path. [Bug #582039]
+	* win/configure: Regen.
+	* win/configure.in: Check that AR, RANLIB, and RC
+	are found on the path when building with gcc.
+
+2002-11-03  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c:  Calls Registry_Init() and Dde_Init() when
+	STATIC_BUILD and TCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES macros are set.
+
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/rules.vc:  linkexten option now sets the TCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES
+	macro which also adds the registry and dde object files to the link
+	of the shell. [Patch 479697]  Also factored some additional macros
+	that will be helpful for extension authors.  Version grepping of tcl.h
+	will need to be added to complete this.
+
+	* win/buildall.vc.bat: Added more descriptive commentary.
+
+2002-11-01  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinReg.c:  Changed the Tcl_PkgProvide() line to declare
+	the registry extension at version 1.1 from 1.0.
+
+2002-10-31  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/word.tcl: Changed $tcl_platform to $::tcl_platform to
+	  avoid possible scope trouble.
+
+2002-10-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: added comments about certain NULL function
+	pointers which will be filled in when Tcl_FindExecutable is
+	called, so that users don't report invalid bugs on this topic.
+	(No code changes at all).
+	
+2002-10-29  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpFindSymbol): pass all dyld error
+	messages upstream [Bug #627546].
+
+2002-10-28  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:
+	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Changed the hardwired debug suffix
+	  (d) to the correct suffix (g).
+
+2002-10-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/auto.tcl:	Converted the Mac-specific [package unknown]
+	* library/init.tcl:	behavior to use a chaining mechanism to extend
+	* library/package.tcl:	the default [tclPkgUnknown].  [Bug 627660]
+	* library/tclIndex:	[Patch 624509] (steffen)
+
+2002-10-26  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: xcopy on NT 4.0 doesn't support the /Y switch
+	(overwrite).  Added logic to handle this.  [Bug 618019]
+
+2002-10-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: Removed definitions of obsolete HistoryEvent
+	and HistoryRev structures (the history mechanism has been written
+	in Tcl for some time now.)
+
+2002-10-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+

+
+	* changes: updated for 8.4.1 release

+	* win/Makefile.in: removed @MEM_DEBUG_FLAGS@ subst.
+	* win/configure: regen
+	* win/configure.in: removed SC_ENABLE_MEMDEBUG call

+	SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS that takes yes|no|mem|compile|all as options now.
+
+2002-10-22  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary):
+	* library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown): on macosx, search inside the
+	Resources/Scripts subdirectory of any potential package directory
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: add standard Frameworks dirs

+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetVariables): on macosx, add embedded
+	framework dirs to tcl_pkgPath: @executable_path/../Frameworks and
+	@executable_path/../PrivateFrameworks (if they exist), as well as
+	the dirs in DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH (if set). [Patch #624509]
+	use standard MAXPATHLEN instead of literal 1024
+
+2002-10-22  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/StringObj.3, doc/Object.3: Documented that Tcl_Obj's
+	standard string form is a modified UTF-8; apparently, this was not
+	mentioned anywhere in the main docs, and lead to [Bug 624919].
+
+2002-10-21  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: bumped version to 8.4.1
+	* generic/tcl.h: Added reminder comment to edit

+
+2002-10-11  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Need a different strategy through the maze of

+2002-10-09  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWinTime.c: Added code to set an exit handler that
+	terminates the thread that calibrates the performance counter, so
+	that the thread won't outlive unloading the Tcl DLL. [Tcl bug
+	620735].
+
+2002-10-09  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/binary.n: More clarification of [binary scan]'s behaviour.
+
+2002-10-09  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: fixed botched regen.
+
+2002-10-09  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls: made TclSetPreInitScript() declaration
+	generic as it is used on mac & aqua as well.
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: regen.
+	* generic/tclCompile.h: added prototype for TclCompileVariableCmd.
+
+	* mac/tclMacPort.h: removed incorrect <fcntl.h> definitions
+	and obsolete <stat.h> definitions.
+	* mac/tclMacChan.c: removed obsolete GetOpenMode() and replaced 
+	associated constants with the <fcntl.h> analogues (they existing
+	defs were inconsistent with <fcntl.h> which was causing havoc when
+	Tcl_GetOpenMode was used instead of private GetOpenMode).
+
+	* mac/tclMacFCmd.c: removed GenerateUniqueName(), use equivalent
+	(and identically named) routine from MoreFiles instead.
+
+	* mac/tclMacLoad.c: CONSTification, fixes to Vince's last changes.
+
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c: 
+	* mac/tclMacTest.c:
+	* mac/tclMacUnix.c: CONSTification.
+
+	* mac/tclMacOSA.c: CONSTification, sprintf fixes, UH 3.4.x changes;
+	fix for missing autoname token from TclOSACompileCmd. (bdesgraupes)
+	* mac/AppleScript.html(AppleScript delete): doc fix. (bdesgraupes)
+
+	* mac/tcltkMacBuildSupport.sea.hqx: updated MoreFiles to 1.5.3, 
+	updated build instructions for 8.4.
+	* mac/tclMacProjects.sea.hqx: rebuilt archive.
+
+2002-10-09  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/Alloc.3: Added a note to mention that attempting to allocate
+	a zero-length block can return NULL.  [Tk bug 619544]
+
+2002-10-04  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/binary.n: Doc improvements [Patch 616480]
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test, tests/winFCmd.test:
+	* tools/eolFix.tcl, tools/genStubs.tcl: [file exist] -> [file exists]
+	Thanks to David Welton.
+
+2002-10-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n: fixed typo [Bug 618018].  Thanks to "JJM".
+
+2002-10-03  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl: 
+	* tests/http.test, tests/httpd, tests/httpold.test: 
+	* tests/env.test, tests/binary.test, tests/autoMkindex.test: 
+	* library/init.tcl, library/http/http.tcl: [info exist] should
+	really be [info exists].  [Bug 602566]
+
+	* doc/lsearch.n: Better specification of what happens when -sorted
+	is mixed with other options. [Bug 617816]
+
+2002-10-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclCreateProc): mask out VAR_UNDEFINED for
+	precompiled locals to support 8.3 precompiled code.
+	(Tcl_ProcObjCmd): correct 2002-09-26 fix to look for tclProcBodyType.
+
+2002-10-01  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/socket.n: Mentioned that ports may be specified as serivce
+	names as well as integers. [Bug 616843]
+
+2002-09-30  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): correct the
+	checking for bad re's that didn't terminate the re string.
+	Resultant compiles were correct, but much slower than necessary.
+
+2002-09-29  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c: Added proper exiting conditions using Win32
+	console signals.  This handles the existing lack of a Ctrl+C exit
+	to call exit handlers when built for thread support.  Also, properly
+	handles exits from other conditions such as CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT,
+	CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT, and CTRL_SHUTDOWN_EVENT signals.  In all cases,
+	exit handlers will be called.  [Bug 219355]
+
+	* win/makefile.vc: Added missing tclThreadAlloc.c to the build
+	rules and defines USE_THREAD_ALLOC when TCL_THREADS is defined
+	to get the new behavior by default.
+
+2002-09-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* README:		Bumped to version 8.4.1 to avoid confusion

+
+	* unix/configure: regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4: improve AIX-4/5 64bit compilation support.
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_ProcObjCmd): correct overeager
+	optimization of noop proc to handle the precompiled case. (sofer)
+
+	* unix/ldAix (nmopts): add -X32_64 to make it work for 32 or 64bit
+	mode compilation.
+
+	* library/encoding/koi8-u.enc: removed extraneous spaces that
+	confused encoding reader. [Bug #615115]
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: generate source dists with -src designator and

+	(SC_PATH_TKCONFIG): Likewise.
+	(SC_PROG_TCLSH): Likewise.

+	flags.  Add -mwin32 to extra_cflags and extra_ldflags.
+	Remove ``-e _WinMain@16'' from LDFLAGS_WINDOW.
+	* win/configure.in: Allow Cygwin build.
+	(SEH test): Define to be 1 instead of empty value.
+	(EXCEPTION_DISPOSITION): Add test.
+	* win/configure: Regenerate.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Don't explicitly define __WIN32__ for Cygwin, let
+	the user decide whether to use Windows or POSIX personality.
+	(TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE, TCL_LL_MODIFIER, struct Tcl_StatBuf): Define
+	for Cygwin.
+	* generic/tclEnv.c (Tcl_CygwinPutenv): putenv replacement for
+	Cygwin.
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_TranslateFileName): Convert POSIX 
+	to native format.
+	(TclDoGlob): Likewise.
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h (TCHAR): Define for Cygwin.
+	* win/tclWinPort.h (putenv, TclpSysAlloc, TclpSysFree, 
+	TclpSysRealloc): Define for Cygwin.
+
+2002-09-26  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Makefile: preserve environment value of INSTALL_ROOT.
+	When embedding only use deployment build. Force relink before
+	embedded build to ensure new linker flags are picked up.
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: add symbolic links to
+	debug lib, stub libs and tclConfig.sh in framework toplevel.
+	Configure target dependency fix. Fix to 'clean' action. Added
+	private tcl headers to framework. Install tclsh symbolic link.
+	Html doc build works when no installed tclsh available. Made
+	html doc structure in framework more like in Apple frameworks.
+
+2002-09-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_TCL_64BIT_FLAGS): Yet more robust 64-bit value
+	detection to close [Bug 613117] on more systems.
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclPrintSource): More CONSTifying.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (EvalStatsCmd): Object-ify to reduce
+	warnings.  Thanks to 'CoderX2' on the chat for bringing this to my
+	attention...
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: Forgot to define TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG at the
+	appropriate moment.  I believe this is the cause of [Bug 613117]
+
+	* doc/lset.n: Changed 'list' to 'varName' for consistency with
+	lappend documentation.  Thanks to Glenn Jackman [Bug 611719]
+
+2002-09-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Corrected [puts -nonewline] within
+	test bodies.  Thanks to Harald Kirsch.  [Bug 612786, Patch 612788]
+	Also corrected reporting of body return code.  Thanks to David

+
+2002-09-15  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add PEEK_XCLOSEIM
+	define under Linux. This is used by Tk to double
+	check that an X input context is cleaned up
+	before it is closed.
+
+2002-09-12  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/coffbase.txt: Added BLT to the virtual base address
+	listings table should BLT's build tools decide to use it.
+
+2002-09-12  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* mac/tclMacApplication.r:
+	* mac/tclMacLibrary.r:
+	* mac/tclMacResource.r: unified use of the two equivalent 
+	resource compiler header inclusion defines RC_INVOKED and
+	RESOURCE_INCLUDED, now use RC_INVOKED throughout. 
+
+2002-09-10  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/README: Add note about building extensions
+	with the same compiler Tcl was built with.
+	[Tk Bug 592096]
+
+2002-09-10  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: disabled building html
+	documentation during embedded build.
+
+2002-09-10  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: added DYLIB_INSTALL_DIR variable for macosx
+	and set it to default value ${LIB_RUNTIME_DIR}
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): use DYLIB_INSTALL_DIR instead of
+	LIB_RUNTIME_DIR in the -install_name argument to ld.
+	* unix/configure: regen.
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
+	* macosx/Makefile: added support for building Tcl as an embedded
+	framework, i.e. using an dyld install_name containing
+	@executable_path/../Frameworks via the new DYLIB_INSTALL_DIR
+	unix/Makefile variable.
+	
+2002-09-10  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+
+2002-09-06  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:  Clarified phrasing.
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand,CallCommandTraces):

+	trace deleted the command being traced.  Test added.  Thanks to
+	Hemang Lavana for the fix.  [Bug 604609]
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclDeleteVars):  Corrected logic for setting the
+	TCL_INTERP_DESTROYED flag when calling variable traces. [Tk Bug 605121]
+
+2002-09-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (DeleteArray): leak plug [Bug 604239]. Thanks
+	to dkf and dgp for the long and difficult discussion in the chat.
+
+2002-09-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UpVar2): code cleanup to not use goto
+
+	* unix/configure: remove -pthread from LIBS on FreeBSD in thread
+	* unix/tcl.m4:    enabled build. [Bug #602849]
+
+2002-09-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (AliasCreate): a Tcl_Obj was leaked on error
+	return from TclPreventAliasLoop.
+	
+2002-09-03  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: Bumped version number to
+	8.4.0 and updated copyright info.
+
+2002-09-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c (TclpObjLink): removed unnecessary/unfreed

+	flags field of TcpState ptr to 0.
+
+	* unix/configure:

+	* win/configure.in:
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c (SlaveCreate): make sure that the memory and
+	checkmem commands are initialized in non-safe slave interpreters
+	when TCL_MEM_DEBUG is used. [Bug #583445]
+
+	* win/tclWinConsole.c (ConsoleCloseProc): only wait on writable
+	pipe if there was something to write.  This may prevent infinite
+	wait on exit.
+
+	* tests/exec.test: marked exec-18.1 unixOnly until the Windows
+	incompatability (in the test, not the core) can be resolved.
+
+	* tests/http.test (http-3.11): added close $fp that was causing an
+	error on Windows because the file was not closed before deleting.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (Tcl_MacOSXGetLibraryPath): made this static
+	function only appear when HAVE_CFBUNDLE is defined.
+
+2002-08-31  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4: added TK_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS analogue of existing
+	TCL_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS for linker settings only used when linking Tk.
+
+	* unix/configure: regen
+
+2002-08-31  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	*** macosx-8-4-branch merged into the mainline [tcl patch #602770] ***
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls: added new macosx specific entry to stubs table.
+
+	* tools/genStubs.tcl: added generation of platform guards for
+	macosx. This is a little more complex than it seems, because MacOS
+	X IS "unix" plus a little bit, for the purposes of Tcl. BUT
+	unfortunately, Tk uses "unix" to mean X11. So added platform keys
+	for macosx (the little added to "unix"), "aqua" and "x11" to
+	distinguish these for Tk.
+	
+	* generic/tcl.h: added a #ifnded RESOURCE_INCLUDED so that tcl.h
+	can be passed to the resource compiler.
+	
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclNotify.c: added a few Notifier procs, to be able to
+	modify more bits of the Tcl notifier dynamically. Required to get
+	Mac OS X Tk to live on top of the Tcl Unix threaded notifier.
+	Changes the size of the Tcl_NotifierProcs structure, but doesn't
+	move any elements around.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: moved the call to Tcl_ConditionNotify till
+	AFTER we are done mucking with the pointer swap. Fixes cases where
+	the thread waiting on the condition wakes & accesses the
+	waitingListPtr before it gets reset, causing a hang.
+
+	* library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary): added checking the
+	directories in the tcl_pkgPath for library files on macosx to
+	enable support of the standard Mac OSX library locations
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* unix/tcl.m4: added MAC_OSX_DIR.  Added PLAT_OBJS to the OBJS:
+	there are some MacOS X specific files now for Tcl, and when I get
+	he resource & applescript stuff ported over, and restore support
+	for FindFiles, etc, there will be a few more.
+	Added LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR configure variable to avoid having to set
+	all possible LD_LIBRARY_PATH analogues on all platforms.
+	LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR is "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" by default, "LIBPATH" on
+	AIX, "SHLIB_PATH" on HPUX and "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" on Mac OSX.
+	Added configure option to package Tcl as a framework on Mac OSX.
+
+	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c (new): support for finding Tcl extension
+	packaged as 'bundles' in the standard Mac OSX library locations.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: added support for findig the tcl script
+	library inside Tcl packaged as a framework on Mac OSX.
+
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser (new):
+	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj (new): project for Apple's
+	ProjectBuilder IDE.
+
+	* macosx/Makefile (new): simple makefile for building the project
+	from the command line via the ProjectBuilder tool 'pbxbuild'.
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h: regen

+2002-08-29  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpFinalizeThreadData, TclWinFreeAllocCache):

+	  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+2002-08-28  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclEnv.c:
+	* unix/configure.in:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h:  putenv() on some systems copies the buffer
+	rather than taking reference to it.  This causes memory leaks
+	and is know to effect mswindows (msvcrt) and NetBSD 1.5.2 .  This
+	patch tests for this behavior and turns on -DHAVE_PUTENV_THAT_COPIES=1
+	when approriate.  Thanks to David Welton for assistance.
+	[Bug 414910]
+
+	* unix/configure: regen'd
+
+2002-08-28  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/eval.n: Added mention of list command and corrected "SEE ALSO".
+
+	* unix/configure.in: Cache handling of ac_cv_type_socklen_t was
+	wrong. [Bug 600931] reported by John Ellson.  Fixed by putting the
+	brackets where they belong.
+
+2002-08-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: fix for [Bug 599788] (error in element
+	name causing segfault), reported by Tom Wilkason. Fixed by copying
+	the tokens instead of the source string.
+
+2002-08-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: small optimisation, reducing the
+	new allocator's overhead.
+	
+2002-08-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (USE_THREAD_ALLOC): fixed leak [Bug 597936]. 
+	Thanks to Zoran Vasiljevic.
+
+2002-08-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (USE_THREAD_ALLOC): moving objects
+	between caches as a block, instead of one-by-one.
+
+2002-08-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: fix for freed memory r/w in delete traces
+	[Bug 589863], patch by Hemang Lavana.
+
+2002-08-20  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/Makefile.in (CFLAGS): 
+	* unix/Makefile.in (MEM_DEBUG_FLAGS): Added usage of @MEM_DEBUG_FLAGS@.
+	* win/configure.in:
+	* unix/configure.in: Added usage of SC_ENABLE_MEMDEBUG.
+	* win/tcl.m4:
+	* unix/tcl.m4: Added macro SC_ENABLE_MEMDEBUG. Allows a user of
+	  configure to (de)activate memory validation and debugging
+	  (TCL_MEM_DEBUG). No need to modify the makefile anymore.
+
+2002-08-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCkalloc.c:	CONSTified MemoryCmd and CheckmemCmd.
+
+	* README:		Bumped version number to 8.4b3 to distinguish

+	* unix/configure:	autoconf
+	* win/configure:
+
+	* library/http/http.tcl:	Corrected installation directory of

+	* library/opt/optparse.tcl:	comments in other packages to remind
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	that installation directories need 
+	* unix/Makefile.in:		updates to match increasing version
+	* win/Makefile.in:		numbers. [Bug 597450]

+
+2002-08-19  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixTest.c (TestfilehandlerCmd): Changed
+	  readable/writable to the more common readable|writable.
+
+	  Fixes SF #596034 reported by Larry Virden
+	  <lvirden@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+2002-08-16  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test: Added test to make sure that the cause of the
+	problem is detectable with an unpatched Tcl.
+	* doc/ObjectType.3: Added note on the root cause of this problem
+	to the documentation, since it is possible for user code to
+	trigger this sort of behaviour too.
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (SetFsPathFromAny): Objects should only have
+	their old representation deleted when we know that we are about to
+	install a new one.  This stops a weird TclX bug under Linux with
+	certain kinds of memory debugging enabled which essentally came
+	down to a double-free of a string.
+
+2002-08-14  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclObj.c: (code cleanup) factored the parts in the macros 
+	TclNewObj() / TclDecrRefCount() into a common part for all
+	memory allocators and two new macros TclAllocObjStorage() /
+	TclFreeObjStorage() that are specific to each allocator and fully
+	describe the differences. Removed allocator-specific code from
+	tclObj.c by using the macros.
+	
+2002-08-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: fixing UMR in delete traces, [Bug 589863].

+	* tests/uplevel.test: added 6.1 to test [uplevel] with shadowed
+	commands [Bug 524383]
+
+	* tests/subst.test: added 5.8-10 as further tests for [Bug 495207] 
+
+2002-08-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/README: Noted removal of defs.tcl.

+2002-08-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* doc/lsearch.n: corrected lsearch docs to use -inline in examples.
+
+	*** 8.4b2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+	* tests/fCmd.test:
+	* tests/unixFCmd.test: updated tests for new link copy behavior.
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c (CopyRenameOneFile): changed the behavior to
+	follow links to endpoints and copy that file/directory instead of
+	just copying the surface link.  This means that trying to copy a
+	link that has no endpoint (danling link) is an error.
+	[Patch #591647] (darley)
+	(CopyRenameOneFile): this is currently disabled by default until
+	further issues with such behavior (like relative links) can be
+	handled correctly.
+
+	* tests/README: slight wording improvements
+
+2002-08-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* docs/BoolObj.3: added description of valid string reps for a
+	boolean object [Bug 584794]
+	* generic/tclObj.c: optimised Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj and
+	SetBooleanFromAny to avoid parsing the string rep when it can be
+	avoided [Bugs 584650, 472576]
+	
+2002-08-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.h:
+	* generic/tclObj.c: making tclCmdNameType static ([Bug 584567],
+	Don Porter).
+	
+2002-08-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_NewObj): added conditional code for

+	
+2002-08-06  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Added stubs and implementations for
+	non-threaded build for the tclUnixThrd.c procs TclpReaddir,
+	TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime and TclpInetNtoa.
+	Fixes link errors in stubbed & threaded extensions that include

+	gmtime or inet_ntoa (e.g. TclX 8.4) [Bug 589526]

+2002-08-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	The setup and cleanup scripts are now
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:	skipped when a test is skipped, fixing
+	* tests/tcltest.test:		[Bug 589859].  Test for bug added, and
+	corrected tcltest package bumped to version 2.2.
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:	Restored Tcl_Concat to return (char *).  Like
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	Tcl_Merge, it transfers ownership of a dynamic
+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	allocated string to the caller.
+
+2002-08-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/CmdCmplt.3:	Applied Patch 585105 to fully CONST-ify
+	* doc/Concat.3:		all remaining public interfaces of Tcl.
+	* doc/CrtCommand.3:	Notably, the parser no longer writes on 
+	* doc/CrtSlave.3:	the string it is parsing, so it is no
+	* doc/CrtTrace.3:	longer necessary for Tcl_Eval() to be
+	* doc/Eval.3:		given a writable string.  Also, the
+	* doc/ExprLong.3:	refactoring of the Tcl_*Var* routines
+	* doc/LinkVar.3:	by Miguel Sofer is included, so that the
+	* doc/ParseCmd.3:	"part1" argument for them no longer needs
+	* doc/SetVar.3:		to be writable either.
+	* doc/TraceVar.3:
+	* doc/UpVar.3:		Compatibility support has been enhanced so
+	* generic/tcl.decls	that a #define of USE_NON_CONST will remove
+	* generic/tcl.h		all possible source incompatibilities with
+	* generic/tclBasic.c	the 8.3 version of the header file(s).
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c	The new #define of USE_COMPAT_CONST now does
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c	what USE_NON_CONST used to do -- disable
+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c only those new CONST's that introduce
+	* generic/tclCompile.c	irreconcilable incompatibilities.
+	* generic/tclCompile.h
+	* generic/tclDecls.h	Several bugs are also fixed by this patch.

+2002-08-01  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: bugfix (reading freed memory). Testsuite
+	passed on linux/i386, compile-13.1 hung on linux/alpha.
+
+2002-08-01  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: added a reference count for the complete
+	execution stack, instead of Tcl_Preserve/Tcl_Release. 
+
+2002-08-01  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCkalloc.c (TclFinalizeMemorySubsystem):
+	Don't lock the ckalloc mutex before invoking the
+	Tcl_DumpActiveMemory function since it also
+	locks the same mutex. This code is only executed
+	when "memory onexit filename" has been executed
+	and Tcl is compiled with -DTCL_MEM_DEBUG.
+
+2002-08-01  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: The windows headers don't provide socklen_t,
+	so we have to do it.
+
+2002-07-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h (USE_THREAD_ALLOC): for unshared objects,
+	TclDecrRefCount now frees the internal rep before the string rep -
+	just like the non-macro Tcl_DecrRefCount/TclFreeObj [Bug 524802]. 
+	For the other allocators the fix was done on 2002-03-06.
+
+2002-07-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInterp.c: signed/unsigned comparison warning fixed
+	(Vince Darley).
+
+2002-07-31  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_BUGGY_STRTOD): Enabled caching of test results.
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_BUGGY_STRTOD): Solaris 2.8 still has a buggy
+	strtod() implementation; make sure we detect it.
+
+	* tests/expr.test (expr-22.*): Marked as non-portable because it
+	seems that these tests have an annoying tendency to fail in
+	unexpected ways.  [Bugs 584825, 584950, 585986]
+
+2002-07-30  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/io.test: 
+	* generic/tclIO.c (WriteChars): Added flag to break out of loop if
+	  nothing of the input is consumed at all, to prevent infinite
+	  looping of called with a non-UTF-8 string. Fixes Bug 584603
+	  (partially). Added new test "io-60.1". Might need additional
+	  changes to Tcl_Main so that unprintable results are printed as
+	  binary data.
+
+2002-07-29  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Use CC_SEARCH_FLAGS instead of
+	LD_SEARCH_FLAGS when linking with ${CC}.
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/configure.in: Don't subst CC_SEARCH_FLAGS or
+	LD_SEARCH_FLAGS since this is now done in tcl.m4.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Document and
+	set CC_SEARCH_FLAGS whenever LD_SEARCH_FLAGS is set.
+	[Tcl patch 588290]
+
+2002-07-29  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_SERIAL_PORT): Fixed detection for cases when
+                                        configure's stdin is not a tty.
+	
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: 
+	* generic/tclIOSock.c:          Changed size_t to socklen_t in
+                                        socket-related function calls.
+
+	* unix/configure.in:            Added test and fallback definition
+                                        for socklen_t.
+	
+	* unix/configure:               generated.
+
+2002-07-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclObj.c: fixed a comment
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: 
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: 
+	* generic/tclInterp.c: added the new flag TCL_EVAL_INVOKE to
+	the interface of the Tcl_Eval* functions, removing the
+	TCL_EVAL_NO_TRACEBACK added yesterday: alias invocations not only 
+	require no tracebacks, but also look up the command name in the
+	global scope - see new test interp-9.4
+	* tests/interp.test: added 9.3 to test for safety of aliases to
+	hidden commands, 9.4 to test for correct command lookup scope.
+
+2002-07-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/regc_locale.c (cclass): [[:xdigit:]] is only a defined
+	concept on western characters, so should not allow any unicode
+	digit, and hence number of ranges in [[:xdigit:]] is fixed.
+	* tests/reg.test: Added test to detect the bug.
+	* generic/regc_cvec.c (newcvec): Corrected initial size value in
+	character vector structure.  [Bug 578363]  Many thanks to
+	pvgoran@users.sf.net for tracking this down.
+
+2002-07-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: 
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: added the new flag TCL_EVAL_NO_TRACEBACK to
+	the interface of the Tcl_Eval* functions. Modified the error
+	message for too many nested evaluations.
+	* generic/tclInterp.h: changed the Alias struct to be of variable
+	length and store the prefix arguments directly (instead of a
+	pointer to a Tcl_Obj list). Made AliasObjCmd call Tcl_EvalObjv
+	instead of TclObjInvoke - thus making aliases trigger execution
+	traces [Bug 582522].
+	* tests/interp.test:
+	* tests/stack.test: adapted to the new error message.
+	* tests/trace.test: added tests for aliases firing the exec
+	traces. 
+
+2002-07-27  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in: Revert fix for Tcl bug 529801
+	since it was incorrect and broke the build on
+	other systems. Fix Tcl bug 587299.
+	Add MAJOR_VERSION, MINOR_VERSION, PATCH_LEVEL,
+	SHLIB_LD_FLAGS, SHLIB_LD_LIBS, CC_SEARCH_FLAGS,
+	LD_SEARCH_FLAGS, and LIB_FILE variables to support
+	more generic library build/install rules.
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/configure.in: Move AC_PROG_RANLIB into
+	tcl.m4. Move shared build test and setting
+	of MAKE_LIB and MAKE_STUB_LIB into tcl.m4.
+	Move subst of a number of variables into
+	tcl.m4 where they are defined.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS, SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS):
+	Subst vars where they are defined. Add MAKE_LIB,
+	MAKE_STUB_LIB, INSTALL_LIB, and INSTALL_STUB_LIB
+	rules to deal with the ugly details of running
+	ranlib on static libs at build and install time.
+	Replace TCL_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS with SHLIB_LD_FLAGS
+	and use it when building a shared library.
+	* unix/tclConfig.sh.in: Add TCL_CC_SEARCH_FLAGS.
+
+2002-07-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: fixed Tcl_Obj leak in code corresponding

+	
+2002-07-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclObjLookupVar): leak fix and improved
+	comments. 
+
+2002-07-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): removed early returns that
+	prevented the parens from being restored. also removed goto label
+	as it was not necessary.
+
+2002-07-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: 
+	* tests/expr-old.test: fix for erroneous error messages in [expr],

+	with bgerror in Tk"
+
+2002-07-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: restoring full TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG
+	functionality.
+
+2002-07-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test: relaxed unixInit-3.1 to accept iso8859-15
+	as a valid C encoding.  [Bug 575336]
+
+2002-07-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: restoring the tcl_traceCompile
+	functionality while I repair tcl_traceExec. The core now compiles
+	and runs also under TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG, but execution in the
+	bytecode engine can still not be traced.
+
+2002-07-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/configure.in: corrected fix for [Bug 529801]: ranlib
+	only needed for static builds on Mac OS X.
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c: fixed small bugs introduced by Vince,

+2002-07-22  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	added comments about its usage.
+	* generic/tclLoad.c:
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tcl.decls:

+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c, generic/tclCompile.c, generic/tclBasic.c: 
+	* generic/tclCompile.h (builtinFuncTable, instructionTable): Added

+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (operatorTable): 
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (tmKey):
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (theFilesystemEpoch, filesystemWantToModify,

+	fair for the current gatekeepers to be listed here!
+

+	since tcltest is no longer linked every time.
+	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Create ../dltest.marker
+	after a successful `make all` run in dltest.
+
+2002-07-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/configure.in: Remove useless subst of TCL_BIN_DIR.
+
+2002-07-15  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: inaccurate comment fixed
+	
+2002-07-15  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo):
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclUpdateReturnInfo):
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	
+	* generic/tclProc.c: 
+	Added two Tcl_Obj to the ExecEnv structure to hold the fully
+	qualified names "::errorInfo" and "::errorCode" to cache the
+	addresses of the corresponding variables. The two most frequent
+	setters of these variables now profit from the new variable name
+	caching. 
+
+2002-07-15  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: refactorisation to reuse already looked-up Var
+	pointers; definition of three new Tcl_Obj types to cache variable
+	name parsing and lookup for later reuse; modification of internal
+	functions to profit from the caching. 
+	
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c: adding CONST qualifiers to variable names
+	passed to Tcl_FindNamespaceVar and to variable resolvers; adding
+	CONST qualifier to the 'msg' argument to TclLookupVar. Needed to
+	avoid code duplication in the new tclVar.c code.
+
+	* tests/set-old.test:
+	* tests/var.test: slight modification of error messages due to the
+	modifications in the tclVar.c code.
+
+2002-07-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/unixInit.test:	Improved constraints to protect /tmp.	
+	  [Bug 581403]
+
+2002-07-15  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/winFCmd.test: renamed 'win2000' and 'notWin2000' to
+	more appropriate constraint names.
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: updated comments to reflect 07-11 changes.
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: made ConvertFileNameFormat static again,
+	since no longer used in tclWinFile.c
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c: completed TclpObjLink implementation which
+	was previously lacking.
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: comment cleanup and code speedup.
+	
+2002-07-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Removed declarations that duplicated entries
+	  in the (internal) stub table.
+	
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Corrected errors in handling of
+	  configuration options -constraints and -limitconstraints.
+
+	* README:		Bumped HEAD to version 8.4b2 so we can
+	* generic/tcl.h:	distinguish it from the 8.4b1 release.

+
+2002-07-11  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/file.n:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: on Win 95/98/ME the long form of the path
+	is used as a normalized form.  This is required because short
+	forms are not a robust representation.  The file normalization
+	function has been sped up, but more performance gains might be
+	possible, if speed is still an issue on these platforms.
+
+2002-07-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Corrected reaction to existing but
+	false ::tcl_interactive.
+
+	* doc/Hash.3: Overlooked CONST documentation update.
+
+2002-07-11  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: ckalloc() and friends take the block size
+	as an unsigned, so we should use %ud when reporting it in fprintf()
+	and panic().
+
+2002-07-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: now setting local vars undefined at
+	compile time, instead of waiting until the proc is initialized. 
+	* generic/tclProc.c: use macro TclSetVarUndefined instead of
+	directly etting the flag.
+
+2002-07-11  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: [file attr -perm] is Unix-only, so add [catch]
+	when not inside a suitably-protected test.
+
+2002-07-10  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/unixFCmd.test, tests/fileName.test: 
+	* tests/fCmd.test: Removed [exec] of Unix utilities that have
+	equivalents in standard Tcl.  [Bug 579268]  Also simplified some
+	of unixFCmd.test while I was at it.
+
+2002-07-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/tcltest.test:  Greatly reduced the number of [exec]s, using
+	slave interps instead.
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Fixed bug uncovered in the conversion
+	where a message was written to stdout instead of [outputChannel].
+
+	* tests/basic.test:	Cleaned up, constrained, and reduced the
+	* tests/compile.test:	amount of [exec] usage in the test suite.

+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: Removed [exec] of Unix utilities. [Bug 579211]
+
+	* tests/expr.test: Added tests to make sure that this works.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprCallMathFunc): Functions should also
+	be able to return wide-ints.  [Bug 579284]
+
+2002-07-08  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/socket.test: Fixed bug #578164. The original reason for
+	  the was a DNS outage while running the testsuite. Changed [info
+	  hostname] to 127.0.0.1 to bypass DNS, knowing that we operate on
+	  the local host.
+
+2002-07-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:		Fixed incompatibility in [viewFile].
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Corrected docs.  Bumped to 2.2.1.
+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: [Bug 578163]
+
+2002-07-08  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/cmdAH.test:
+	* tests/fCmd.test:
+	* tests/fileName.test: tests which rely on 'file link' need a
+	constraint so they don't run on older Windows OS. [Bug 578158]
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclTest.c:
+	* mac/tclMacChan.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c:
+	* win/tclWinChan.c:
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: cleaned up internal handling of
+	Tcl_FSOpenFileChannel to remove duplicate code, and make
+	writing external vfs's clearer and easier.  No
+	functionality change.  Also clarify that objects with refCount
+	zero should not be passed in to the Tcl_FS API, and prevent
+	segfaults from occuring on such user errors. [Bug 578617]
+	
+2002-07-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test:  Constrained tests of [load] package indexing
+	to those platforms where the testing shared libraries have been built.
+	[Bug 578166].
+
+2002-07-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+	* changes: added recent changes
+
+2002-07-05  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): Convert the format string to
+	UTF8 before calling TclpStrftime, so that non-ASCII characters
+	don't get mangled when the result string is being converted back.
+	* tests/clock.test: Added a test for that.
+
+2002-07-05  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in (ro-test,ddd,GDB,DDD): Created new targets to
+	allow running the test suite with a read-only current directory,
+	running under ddd instead of gdb, and factored out some executable
+	names for broken sites (like mine) where gdb and ddd are installed
+	with non-standard names...
+
+	* tests/httpold.test: Altered test names to httpold-* to avoid
+	clashes with http.test, and stopped tests from failing when the
+	current directory is not writable...
+
+	* tests/event.test:		Stop these tests from failing
+	* tests/ioUtil.test:		when the current directory is
+	* tests/regexp.test:		not writable...

+	* tests/source.test: 
+	* tests/unixFile.test: 
+	* tests/unixNotfy.test: 
+
+	* tests/unixFCmd.test:		Trying to make these test-files

+	* tests/fileName.test:		writable...
+	* tests/env.test:

+
+	*** 8.4b1 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+2002-07-04  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-1.4): 
+	* tests/cmdAH.test: More fixing of writable-current-dir
+	assumption. [Bug 575824]
+
+2002-07-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/basic.test: Same issue as below; fixed [Bug 575817]

+2002-07-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/socket.test: 
+	* tests/winPipe.test: 
+	* tests/pid.test: Fixed SF Bug #575848. See below for a
+	  description the general problem.
+
+	* All the bugs below are instances of the same problem: The
+	  testsuite assumes [pwd] = [temporaryDirectory] and writable.
+
+	* tests/iogt.test: Fixed bug #575860.
+	* tests/io.test:   Fixed bug #575862.
+	* tests/exec.test: 
+	* tests/ioCmd.test: Fixed bug #575836.
+
+2002-07-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/pkg1/direct1.tcl: removed
+	* tests/pkg1/pkgIndex.tcl: removed
+	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test:  Imported auxilliary files from tests/pkg1
+	  into the test file pkgMkIndex.test itself.  Formatting fixes.

+	* tests/pkg/spacename.tcl: removed
+	* tests/pkg/std.tcl: removed
+	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Fixed [Bug 575857] where this test file
+	  expected to be able to write to [file join [testsDirectory]
+	  pkg].  Part of the fix was to import several auxilliary files
+	  into the test file itself.
+
+	* tests/main.test:	Cheap fix for [Bugs 575851, 575858].  Avoid
+	* tests/tcltest.test:	non-writable . by [cd [temporaryDirectory]].
+
+	* library/auto.tcl: Fix [tcl_findLibrary] to be sure it sets
+	  $varName only if a successful library script is found.
+	  [Bug 577033]
+
+2002-07-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileCatchCmd): return
+	  TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE instead of TCL_ERROR: let the failure
+	  happen at runtime so that it can be caught [Bug 577015].
+
+2002-07-02  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n: Markup fixes, spellcheck.

+2002-07-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n: more refinements of the documentation.

+	  constraint is updated whenever the [interpreter] changes.
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:		Reverted [makeFile] and [viewFile] to
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	their former behavior, and documented

+	* tests/http.test:

+	  [GetMatchingFiles] and [GetMatchingDirectories], removing
+	  special case processing.
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n: More documentation updates.  Reference sections
+	  are complete.  Only examples need adding.
+
+2002-07-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

+2002-07-01  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Made Solaris use gcc for linking
+	when building with gcc to resolve problems with undefined symbols
+	being present when tcl library used with non-gcc linker at later
+	stage. Symbols were compiler-generated, so it is the compiler's
+	business to define them. [Bug #541181]

+2002-07-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n: more work in progress updating tcltest docs.
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Change [configure -match] to
+	stop treating an empty list as a list of the single pattern "*".
+	Changed the default value to [list *] so default operation
+	remains the same.
+
+	* tests/pkg/samename.tcl: restored.  needed by pkgMkIndex.test.
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: restored writeability testing of
+	-tmpdir, augmented by a special exception for the deafault value.
+
+2002-07-01  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/concat.n: Documented the *real* behaviour of [concat]!

+2002-06-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n: more work in progress updating tcltest docs.
+
+	* tests/README:		Updated the instructions on running and
+	* tests/cmdMZ.test:	adding to the test suite.  Also updated
+	* tests/encoding.test:	several tests, mostly to correctly create
+	* tests/fCmd.test:	and destroy any temporary files in the
+	* tests/info.test:	[temporaryDirectory] of tcltest.
+	* tests/interp.test:
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Stopped checking for writeability

+	* tests/pkg/samename.tcl: removed.
+	* tests/pkg/magicchar.tcl: removed.
+	* tests/pkg/magicchar2.tcl: removed.

+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Fixed [makeFile] and [viewFile] to
+	* tests/cmdAH.test:		accurately reflect a file's contents.
+	* tests/event.test:		Updated tests that depended on buggy
+	* tests/http.test:		behavior.  Also added warning messages
+	* tests/io.test:		to "-debug 1" operations to debug test
+	* tests/iogt.test:		calls to (make|remove)(File|Directory).
+
+	* unix/mkLinks: `make mklinks` on 6-27 commits.

+2002-06-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+2002-06-28  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:	Renamed the Tcl_Platform* #defines to

+
+2002-06-26  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:

+2002-06-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Corrected suppression of -verbose skip

+
+2002-06-25  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4:       New macro SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES.
+	* unix/configure.in: Added support for symlinks and compression

+
+2002-06-25  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): Fix of critical bug
+	#533364 generated when the index is bad and the result is a shared
+	object.  The T_ASTO(T_GOR, ...) idiom likely exists elsewhere
+	though.  Also removed some cruft that just complicated things to
+	no advantage.
+	(SetEndOffsetFromAny): Same fix, though this wasn't on the path
+	excited by the bug.
+
+2002-06-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Implementation of TIP 101.  Adds

+	* tests/cmdInfo.test:		with options -constraints knownBug
+	* tests/compile.test:		-limitConstraints 1 only tests the

+
+2002-06-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): fix for [Bug 571385]
+	in the implementation of TIP#62 (command tracing). Vince Darley,
+	Hemang Lavana & Don Porter: thanks.
+
+2002-06-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	the logic for compilation/recompilation.
+
+2002-06-19  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+	* doc/file.n: Fixed indentation.  No substantive changes.
+
+2002-06-19  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): get the resultPtr again
+	as the Tcl_ObjSetVar2 may cause the result to change.
+	[Patch #558324] (watson)
+
+2002-06-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): removing unused "for(;;)" loop;
+	improved comments; re-indentation.
+
+2002-06-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): 
+	- elimination of duplicated code in the non-immediate INST_INCR
+	  instructions. 
+	- elimination of 103 (!) TclDecrRefCount macros. The different
+	  instructions now jump back to a common "DecrRefCount zone" at
+	  the top of the loop. The macro "ADJUST_PC" was replaced by two
+	  macros "NEXT_INST_F" and "NEXT_INST_V" that take three params
+	  (pcAdjustment, # of stack objects to discard, resultObjPtr
+	  handling flag). The only instructions that retain a
+	  TclDecrRefCount are INST_POP (for speed), the common code for
+	  the non-immediate INST_INCR, INST_FOREACH_STEP and the two
+	  INST_LSET.
+
+	The object size of tclExecute.o was reduced by approx 20% since
+	the start of the consolidation drive, while making room for some
+	peep-hole optimisation at runtime.
+
+2002-06-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC, INST_DONE): small bug in the panic
+	code for tcl-stack corruption.
+
+2002-06-17  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	Trims to support the removal of RESOURCE_INCLUDED from rc
+	scripts	from FR #565088.
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: moved the #ifndef RC_INVOKED start block up in
+	the file.  rc scripts don't need to know thread mutexes.
+
+	* win/tcl.rc:
+	* win/tclsh.rc: removed the #define RESOURCE_INCLUDED to let the
+	built-in -DRC_INVOKED to the work.
+
+2002-06-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* doc/CrtTrace.3:        Added TIP#62 implementation of command
+	* doc/trace.n:           execution tracing [FR #462580] (lavana).
+	* generic/tcl.h:         This includes enter/leave tracing as well

+	  provided by Vince too.
+
+2002-06-17  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: #ifdef logic for K&R C backwards compatibility
+	changed to assume modern C by default.  See SF FR #565088 for
+	full details.
+
+2002-06-17  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/msgcat.n: Corrected en_UK references to en_GB.  UK is not
+	a country designation recognized in ISO 3166.
+
+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:  More Windows Registry locale codes
+	from Bruno Haible.
+
+	* doc/msgcat.n:
+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:
+	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:
+	* tests/msgcat.test:  Revised locale initialization to interpret
+	environment variable locale values according to XPG4, and to
+	recognize the LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES values over that of LANG.
+	Also added many Windows Registry locale values to those 
+	recognized by msgcat.  Revised tests and docs.  Bumped to
+	version 1.3.  Thanks to Bruno Haible for the report and
+	assistance crafting the solution.  [Bug 525522, 525525]
+
+2002-06-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileTokens): a better algorithm for
+	the previous bug fix.
+
+2002-06-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileTokens): 
+	* tests/compile.test: [Bug 569438] in the processing of dollar
+	variables; report by Georgios Petasis. 
+	
+2002-06-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: bug in the consolidation of the
+	INCR_..._STK instructions; the bug could not be exercised as the
+	(faulty) instruction INST_INCR_ARRAY_STK was never compiled-in
+	(related to [Bug 569438]).
+
+2002-06-14  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peep-hole
+	optimisation of variables (INST_STORE, INST_INCR) and commands
+	(INST_INVOKE); faster check for the existence of a catch.
+	(TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peep-hole optimisation of
+	comparisons.
+	(TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peep-hole optimisation of
+	INST_FOREACH - relies on peculiarities of the code produced by the
+	bytecode compiler.
+
+2002-06-14  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/rules.vc: The test for compiler optimizations was in error.

+
+2002-06-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/trace.n, tests/trace.test: 
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd,TclTraceCommandObjCmd)
+	(TclTraceVariableObjCmd): Changed references to "trace list" to
+	"trace info" as mandated by TIP#102.
+
+2002-06-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): consolidated code for
+	the conditional branch instructions.
+
+2002-06-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): fixed the previous
+	patch - wouldn't compile with TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG set.
+
+2002-06-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): consolidated the
+	handling of exception returns to INST_INVOKE and INST_EVAL, as
+	well as most of the code for INST_CONTINUE and INST_BREAK, in the
+	new jump target "processExceptionReturn".
+
+2002-06-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): consolidated variable
+	handling opcodes, replaced redundant code with some 'goto'. All
+	store/append/lappend opcodes on the same data type now share the
+	main code; same with incr opcodes.
+	* generic/tclVar.c: added the bit TCL_TRACE_READS to the possible
+	flags to Tcl_SetVar2Ex - it causes read traces to be fired prior
+	to setting the variable. This is used in the core for [lappend].
+
+	***NOTE*** the usage of TCL_TRACE_READS in Tcl_(Obj)?GetVar.* is
+	not documented; there, it causes the call to create the variable
+	if it does not exist. The new usage in Tcl_(Obj)?SetVar.* remains
+	undocumented too ...

+	actually works with VC++ 5 or 6.
+	* win/tclWinInt.h: 
+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: cleaned up code and vfs tests and
+	added tests for the internal changes of 2002-06-12, to see
+	whether WinTcl on NTFS can coexist peacefully with links
+	in the filesystem.  Added new test command 'testfilelink'
+	to enable the newer code to be tested.
+	* tests/fCmd.test: (made certain tests of 'testfilelink' not
+	run on unix).
+
+2002-06-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	Hemang Lavana)
+	
+2002-06-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: corrected the symbolic link handling code to
+	allow it to compile.  Added real definition of REPARSE_DATA_BUFFER
+	(found in winnt.h).  Most of the added definitions appear to have
+	correct, cross-Win-version equivalents in winnt.h and should be
+	removed, but just making things "work" for now.
+
+2002-06-12  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: made code for Tcl_FSNewNativePath
+	agree with man pages.
+	
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: clarified the circumstances under which
+	certain functions are called in the presence of symlinks.
+	
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: 
+	* win/tclWinInt.h: 
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:  Fix for Windows to allow 'file lstat', 
+	'file type', 'glob -type l', 'file copy', 'file delete', 
+	'file normalize', and all VFS code to work correctly in the 
+	presence of symlinks (previously Tcl's behaviour was not very 
+	well defined).  This also fixes possible serious problems in 
+	all versions of WinTcl where 'file delete' on a NTFS symlink 
+	could delete the original, not the symlink.
+	Note: symlinks cannot yet be created in pure Tcl.

+2002-06-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: 
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: reverted the new compilation functions;
+	replaced by a more general approach described below.
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+	* generic/tclCompile.c: made *all* compiled variable access
+	attempts create an indexed variable - even get or incr without
+	previous set. This allows indexed access to local variables that
+	are created and set at runtime, for example by [global], [upvar],
+	[variable], [regexp], [regsub].
+
+2002-06-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/global.n:
+	* doc/info.n:
+	* test/info.test:
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: fix for [Bug 567386], [info locals] was
+	reporting some linked variables.
+	
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: 
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: added compile functions for [global],
+	[variable] and [upvar]. They just declare the new local variables,
+	the commands themselves are not compiled-in. This gives a notably
+	faster read access to these linked variables.
+
+2002-06-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: fixed [Bug #566669]

+
+2002-06-07  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Tidied up headers in relation to float.h
+	to cut the cruft and ensure DBL_MAX is defined since doubles seem
+	to be the same size everywhere; if the assumption isn't true, the
+	variant platforms had better have run configure...
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h (EOVERFLOW): Added code to define it if it
+	wasn't previously defined.  Also some other general tidying and
+	adding of comments.  [Tcl bugs 563122, 564595]
+	* compat/tclErrno.h: Added definition for EOVERFLOW copied from
+	Solaris headers; I've been unable to find any uses of EFTYPE,
+	which was the error code previously occupying the slot, in Tcl, or
+	any definition of it in the Solaris headers.

+	* unix/tcl.m4: added configure check for readdir_r
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): set TCL_DEFAULT_ENCODING to utf-8 on

+	* unix/configure: regen
+	* unix/Makefile.in: set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in parallel

+2002-05-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/configure: regen'ed
+	* unix/configure.in: replaced bigendian check with autoconf

+	bigendian systems.
+	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharNcmp): 
+	* generic/tclInt.h (TclUniCharNcmp): use WORDS_BIGENDIAN instead of
+	TCL_OPTIMIZE_UNICODE_COMPARE to enable memcmp alternative.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode INST_STR_CMP):
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): changed the case for
+	choosing the Tcl_UniCharNcmp compare to when both objs are of
+	StringType, as benchmarks show that is the optimal check (both
+	bigendian and littleendian systems).
+
+2002-05-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclMain.c: Removed "dummy" reference to Tcl_LinkVar.

+
+2002-05-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

+
+	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharNcmp): Use new flag to figure out
+	when we can use an optimal comparison scheme, and default to the
+	old scheme in other cases which is at least safe.
+	* unix/configure.in (TCL_OPTIMIZE_UNICODE_COMPARE): New optional
+	flag that indicates when we can use memcmp() to compare Unicode
+	strings (i.e. when the high-byte of a Tcl_UniChar precedes the
+	low-byte.)
+
+2002-05-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* generic/tclUtf.c: added TclpUtfNcmp2 private command that
+	mirrors Tcl_UtfNcmp, but takes n in bytes, not utf-8 chars.  This
+	provides a faster alternative for comparing utf strings	internally.
+	(Tcl_UniCharNcmp, Tcl_UniCharNcasecmp): removed the explicit end
+	of string check as it wasn't correct for the function (by doc and
+	logic).
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): reworked the string equal
+	comparison code to use TclpUtfNcmp2 as well as short-circuit for
+	equal objects or unequal length strings in the equal case.
+	Removed the use of goto and streamlined the other parts.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): added check for
+	object equality in the comparison instructions.  Added
+	short-circuit for != length strings in INST_EQ, INST_NEQ and
+	INST_STR_CMP.  Reworked INST_STR_CMP to use TclpUtfNcmp2 where
+	appropriate, and only use Tcl_UniCharNcmp when at least one of the
+	objects is a Unicode obj with no utf bytes.
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): removed error
+	creation in code that no longer throws an error.
+
+	* tests/string.test:
+	* tests/stringComp.test: added more string comparison checks.
+
+	* tests/clock.test: better qualified 9.1 constraint check for %s.
+
+2002-05-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (TclpRealloc, TclpFree): protect
+	against the case when NULL is based.
+
+	* tests/clock.test: added clock-9.1
+	* compat/strftime.c:
+	* generic/tclClock.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c: fix for Windows msvcrt mem leak caused by
+	using an env(TZ) setting trick for in clock format -gmt 1.  This
+	also makes %s seem to work correctly with -gmt 1 as well as
+	making it a lot faster by avoid the env(TZ) hack.  TclpStrftime
+	now takes useGMT as an arg.  [Bug #559376]
+
+2002-05-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fixes to Tcl_FSLoadFile when called on
+	a file inside a vfs.  This should avoid leaving temporary 
+	files sitting around on exit. [Bug #545579]
+	
+2002-05-27  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* win/tclWinError.c: Added comment on conversion of
+	ERROR_NEGATIVE_SEEK because that is a mapping that really belongs,
+	and not a catch-all case.
+	* win/tclWinPort.h (EOVERFLOW): Should be either EFBIG or EINVAL
+	* generic/tclPosixStr.c (Tcl_ErrnoId, Tcl_ErrnoMsg): EOVERFLOW can
+	potentially be a synonym for EINVAL.
+
+2002-05-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	=== Changes due to TIP#91 ===
+
+	* win/tclWinPort.h: Added declaration of EOVERFLOW.
+	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Added documentation of wideSeekProc.
+	* generic/tclIOGT.c (TransformSeekProc, TransformWideSeekProc):
+	Adapted to use the new channel mechanism.
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileSeekProc, FileWideSeekProc): Renamed
+	FileSeekProc to FileWideSeekProc and created new FileSeekProc
+	which has the old-style interface and which errors out with
+	EOVERFLOW when the returned file position can't fit into the
+	return type (int for historical reasons.)
+	* win/tclWinChan.c (FileSeekProc, FileWideSeekProc): Renamed
+	FileSeekProc to FileWideSeekProc and created new FileSeekProc
+	which has the old-style interface and which errors out with
+	EOVERFLOW when the returned file position can't fit into the
+	return type (int for historical reasons.)
+	* mac/tclMacChan.c (FileSeek): Reverted to old interface; Macs
+	lack large-file support because I can't see how to add it.
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek, Tcl_Tell): Given these functions
+	knowledge of the new arrangement of channel types.
+	(Tcl_ChannelVersion): Added recognition of new version code.
+	(HaveVersion): New function to do version checking.
+	(Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc, Tcl_ChannelFlushProc)
+	(Tcl_ChannelHandlerProc): Made these functions use HaveVersion for
+	ease of future maintainability.
+	(Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc): Obvious lookup function.
+	* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_ChannelType): New wideSeekProc field, and
+	seekProc type restored to old interpretation.
+	(TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_3): New channel version.
+
+2002-05-24  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+	
+	* tests/winPipe.test: Applied patch for SF Tcl Bug #549617. Patch
+	  and bug report by Kevin Kenny <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+	* win/tclWinSock.c (TcpWatchProc): Fixed SF Tcl Bug #557878. We
+	  are not allowed to mess with the watch mask if the socket is a
+	  server socket. I believe that the original reporter is George
+	  Peter Staplin.
+
+2002-05-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/configure: Regen.
+	* unix/configure.in: Invoke SC_ENABLE_SHARED before
+	calling SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS so that the SHARED_BUILD
+	variable can be checked inside SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Pass -non_shared
+	instead of -shared to ld when configured with
+	--disable-shared under OSF. [Tcl bug 540390]
+
+2002-05-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: added prototype for TclpFilesystemPathType().
+	* mac/tclMacChan.c: use MSL provided creator type if available
+	instead of the default 'MPW '.
+
+2002-05-16  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sf.net>
+
+	* doc/CrtObjCmd.3: 
+	Added Tcl_GetCommandFromObj, Tcl_GetCommandFullName
+	(Tcl Bug #547987, #414921)
+
+2002-05-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyOutputProc): #if/#endif-ed this function
+	out to stop compiler warnings.  Also much general tidying of
+	comments in this file and removal of whitespace from blank lines.
+
+2002-05-13  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (SETBREAK): Solaris thinks ioctl() takes a
+	signed second argument, and Linux thinks ioctl() takes an unsigned
+	second argument.  So need a longer definition of this macro to get
+	neither to spew warnings...
+
+2002-05-13  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEvent.c: 
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: clean up all memory allocated by the
+	filesystem, via introduction of 'TclFinalizeFilesystem'.
+	Move TclFinalizeLoad into TclFinalizeFilesystem so we can
+	be sure it is called at just the right time.
+	Fix bad comment also.  [Bug #555078 and 'fs' part of #543549]
+	* win/tclWinChan.c: fix comment referring to wrong function.
+	
+2002-05-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/load.test:
+	* tests/safe.test:
+	* tests/tcltest.test: Corrected some list-quoting issues and
+	other matters that cause tests to fail when the patch includes
+	special characters.  Report from Vince Darley.  [Bug 554068].
+
+2002-05-08    David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* doc/file.n:
+	* tools/man2tcl.c:
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl:  Thanks to Peter Spjuth
+	<peter.spjuth@space.se>, again.  My prior fix for
+	single-quote macro mis-understanding was wrong.	 Reverted to
+	reimpliment the 'macro2' proc which handles single-quote macros
+	and restored file.n text arrangement to avoid single-quotes on
+	the first line.  Sorry for all the confusion.
+
+2002-05-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tools/man2tcl.c:
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl: Proper source of macro error mis-
+	understanding single-quote as the leading macro command found
+	and repaired.
+
+	* doc/file.n: Reverted to prior state before I messed with
+	it.
+
+2002-05-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Corrected [uplevel] quoting when
+	[source]-ing test script in subdirectories.
+	* tests/fileName.test:
+	* tests/load.test:
+	* tests/main.test:
+	* tests/tcltest.test: 
+	* tests/unixInit.test: Fixes to test suite when there's a space
+	in the working path.  Thanks to Kevin Kenny.
+
+2002-05-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	-- Changes from Peter Spjuth <peter.spjuth@space.se>
+	* tools/man2tcl.c: Increased line buffer size and a bail-out if
+	that should ever be over-run.
+	* tools/man2help.tcl: Include Courier New font in rtf header.
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl: Improved handling of CS/CE fields.  Use
+	Courier New for code samples and indent better.
+
+	* doc/file.n:
+	* doc/TraceCmd.3:  winhelp conversion tools where understanding
+	a ' as the first character on a line to be an unknown macro.
+	Not knowing how to repair tools/man2tcl.c, I decided to rearrange
+	the text in the docs instead.
+
+2002-05-07  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: fix to similar segfault when using 
+	'glob -types nonsense -dir dirname -join * *'. [Bug 553320]
+	
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: further documentation on vfs.
+	* tests/cmdAH.test:
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:
+	* tests/pkgMkindex.test: Fix to testsuite bugs when running out
+	of directory whose name contains '{' or '['.
+
+2002-05-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/basic.test: Fix for [Bug 549607]
+	* tests/encoding.test: Fix for [Bug 549610]
+	These are testsuite bugs that caused failures when the filename
+	contained spaces. Report & fix by Kevin Kenny.
+
+2002-05-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c: fix to freeing a bad object 
+	(i.e. segfault) when using 'glob -types nonsense -dir dirname'.
+	* generic/tclWinFile.c: fix to [Bug 551306], also wrapped some 
+	long lines.
+	* tests/fileName.test: added several tests for the above bugs.
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: clarified documentation on refCount
+	requirements of the object returned by the path type function.
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c: moved TclpFilesystemPathType to the
+	platform specific directories, so we can add missing platform-
+	specific implementations.  On Windows, 'file system' now returns 
+	useful results like "native NTFS", "native FAT" for that system.  
+	Unix and MacOS still only return "native".
+	* doc/file.n: clarified documentation.
+	* tests/winFile.test: test for 'file system' returning correct
+	values.
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: test for 'file system' returning correct
+	values.  Clean up after failed previous test run.
+	
+2002-04-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tcl.m4: change HP-11 SHLIB_LD_LIBS from "" to ${LIBS} so
+	that the .sl knows its dependent libs.
+
+2002-04-26  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/obj.test (obj-11.[56]): Test conversion to boolean more
+	thoroughly.
+	* generic/tclObj.c (SetBooleanFromAny): Was not calling an integer
+	parsing function on native 64-bit platforms!  [Bug 548686]
+
+2002-04-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h: corrected TclRememberJoinableThread decl to
+	use VOID instead of void.
+	* generic/tclThreadJoin.c: noted that this code isn't needed on Unix.
+
+2002-04-23  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* doc/exec.n: 
+	* doc/tclvars.n: doc updates [Patch #509426] (gravereaux)
+
+2002-04-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* mac/tclMacResource.r: added check of
+	TCLTK_NO_LIBRARY_TEXT_RESOURCES #define to allow disabling the
+	inclusion of the tcl library code in the resource fork of Tcl
+	executables and shared libraries.
+
+2002-04-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/TraceCmd.3: New file that documents Tcl_CommandTraceInfo,
+	Tcl_TraceCommand and Tcl_UntraceCommand [Bug 414927]
+
+2002-04-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclAlloc.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (new):
+	* unix/Makefile.in:
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
+	* win/Makefile.in:
+	* win/tclWinInt.h:
+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: added new threaded allocator contributed by
+	AOL that significantly reduces lock contention when multiple
+	threads are in use.  Only Windows and Unix implementations are
+	ready, and the Windows one may need work.  It is only used by
+	default on Unix for now, and requires that USE_THREAD_ALLOC be
+	defined (--enable-threads on Unix will define this).
+
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSRegister, Tcl_FSUnregister):
+	corrected calling of Tcl_ConditionWait to ensure that there would
+	be a condition to wait upon.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FileObjCmd): added cast in FILE_SIZE.
+
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoDeleteFile): check return of setattr API
+	calls in file deletion for correct Win32 API handling.
+
+	* win/Makefile.in: correct dependencies for shell, gdb, runtest
+	targets.
+
+	* doc/clock.n:
+	* compat/strftime.c (_fmt): change strftime to correctly handle
+	localized %c, %x and %X on Windows.  Added some notes about how
+	the other values could be further localized.
+
+2002-04-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main):  Free the memory allocated for the
+	startup script path.  [Bug 543549]
+
+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:  [mcmax] wasn't using the caller's
+	namespace when determining the max translated length.  Also
+	made revisions for better use of namespace variables and more
+	efficient [uplevel]s.
+
+	* doc/msgcat.n:
+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:
+	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:  Added [mcload] to the export list
+	of msgcat; bumped to 1.2.3.  [Bug 544727]
+
+2002-04-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls:
+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
+	* mac/tclMacFCmd.c:
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c:
+	* mac/tclMacUtil.c: Modified TclpObjNormalizePath to be alias
+	file aware, and replaced various calls to FSpLocationFrom*Path
+	by calls to new alias file aware versions FSpLLocationFrom*Path.
+	The alias file aware routines don't resolve the last component of
+	a path if it is an alias. This allows [file copy/delete] etc. to
+	act correctly on alias files. (c.f. discussion in Bug #511666)
+
+2002-04-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* tests/lindex.test (lindex-3.7): 
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): Stopped indexes from
+	hitting wide ints.  [Bug #526717]
+
+2002-04-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
+	* tests/info.test: [Bug 545325] info level didn't report
+	namespace eval, bug report by Richard Suchenwirth.
+
+2002-04-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/subst.n:  Clarified documentation on handling unusual return
+	codes during substitution, and on variable substitutions implied
+	by command substitution, and vice versa.  [Bug 536838]
+
+2002-04-18  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoBodyCmd): 
+	* tests/info.test (info-2.6): Proc bodies without string reps
+	would report as empty [Bug #545644]
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj): More clarification for
+	comment on behaviour when substitutions are not well-formed,
+	prompted by [Bug #536831]; alas, removing the ill-defined
+	behaviour is a lot of work.
+
+2002-04-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* tests/expr-old.test: fix for [Bug #542588] (Phil Ehrens), where
+	"too large integers" were reported as "floating-point value" in
+	[expr] error messages.
+
+2002-04-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c (EscapeFromUtfProc): 
+	* generic/tclIO.c (WriteChars, Tcl_Close): corrected the handling
+	of outputting end escapes for escape-based encodings.
+	[Bug #526524] (yamamoto)
+
+2002-04-17  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:  Removed [saveState] and [restoreState] from
+	tcltest 2 documentation, effectively deprecating them.  [Bug 495660]
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Made separate export for commands
+	kept only for tcltest 1 compatibility.
+
+	* tests/iogt.test: Revised to run tests in a namespace, rather than
+	use the useless and buggy [saveState] and [restoreState] commands
+	of tcltest.  Updated to use tcltest 2 as well.  [Patch 544911]
+
+2002-04-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/io.test: Revised to run tests in a namespace, rather than
+	use the useless and buggy [saveState] and [restoreState] commands
+	of tcltest.  Updated to use tcltest 2 as well.  [Patch 544546]
+
+2002-04-15  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclProc.c:
+	* tests/proc-old.test: Improved stack trace for TCL_BREAK and
+	TCL_CONTINUE returns from procs. Patch by Don Porter
+	[Bug 536955]. 
+	
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* tests/compile.test: made bytecodes check for a catch before
+	  returning; the compiled [return] is otherwise non-catchable. 
+	  [Bug 542142] reported by Andreas Kupries.
+
+2002-04-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/socket.test:  Increased timeout values so that tests have
+	time to successfully complete even on slow/busy machines.  [Bug 523470]
+
+	* doc/tcltest.n:
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
+	* tests/tcltest.test:  Revised [tcltest::test] to return errors
+	when called with invalid syntax and to accept exactly two arguments
+	as documented.  Improved error messages.  [Bug 497446, Patch 513983]
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: Incompatible with previous
+	tcltest 2.* releases, found only in alpha releases of Tcl 8.4.
+
+2002-04-11  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): remove remaining
+	unserviced events on finalization.
+
+	* win/tcl.m4: Enabled COFF as well as CV style debug info with
+	--enable-symbols to allow Dr. Watson users to see function info.
+	More info on debugging levels can be obtained at:
+	http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnvc60/html/gendepdebug.asp
+
+	* tests/ioCmd.test: fixed iocmd-8.15 to have mac and unixPc variants.
+
+	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseVar): conditionally incr obj
+	refcount to prevent possible mem leak.
+
+2002-04-08  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: no <sys/types.h> on mac.
+	* mac/tclMacFile.c: minor fixes to Vince's changes from 03-24.
+	* mac/tclMacOSA.c:
+	* mac/tclMacResource.c: added missing Tcl_UtfToExternalDString
+	conversions of resource file names.
+	* mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): fixed bug introduced
+	by Andreas on 02-25; changed strcmp's to strncmp's so that
+	option comparison behaves like on other platforms.
+	* mac/tcltkMacBuildSupport.sea.hqx (CW Pro6 changes): added
+	support to allow Tk to hookup C library stderr/stdout to TkConsole.
+	* tests/basic.test:
+	* tests/cmdAH.test:
+	* tests/encoding.test:
+	* tests/fileSystem.test:
+	* tests/ioCmd.test: fixed tests failing on mac: check for 
+	existence of [exec], changed some result strings.
+
+2002-04-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (Realpath): added a little extra code to
+	initialize a realpath arg when compiling in PURIFY mode in order
+	to prevent spurious purify warnings.  We should really create our
+	own realpath implementation, but this will at least quiet purify
+	for now.
+
+2002-04-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj):
+	* tests/subst.test:  Corrected [subst] so that return codes
+	TCL_BREAK and TCL_CONTINUE returned by variable substitution
+	have the same effect as when those codes are returned by command
+	substitution.  [Bug 536879]
+
+2002-04-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: added getMatchingFiles back (alias
+	to GetMatchingFiles), which was a public function in tcltest 1.0.
+
+2002-04-01  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEnv.c:
+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: invalidate filesystem cache when the
+	user changes env(HOME).  Fixes [Bug #535621].  Also cleaned up
+	some of the documentation.
+	* tests/fileSystem.test: added test for bug just fixed.
+	
+2002-04-01  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_GetTime): made the checks of clock
+	frequency more permissive to cope with the fact that Win98SE
+	is observed to return 1.19318 in place of 1.193182 for the
+	performance counter frequency.
+	
+2002-03-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd, TraceVarProc)
+	(TraceCommandProc, TclTraceCommandObjCmd):  corrected
+	potential double-free of traces on variables by flagging in
+	Trace*Proc that it will free the var in case the eval wants to
+	delete the var trace as well. [Bug #536937]
+	Also converted Tcl_UntraceVar -> Tcl_UntraceVar2 and Tcl_Eval to
+	Tcl_EvalEx in Trace*Proc for slight efficiency improvement.
+
+2002-03-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+	from Miguel Sofer.  Report from Jean-Claude Wippler.  [Bug 219181]
+
+2002-03-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c: Refactored CallTraces to collect repeated
+	handling of its returned value into CallTraces itself.
+
+2002-03-28  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tools/feather.bmp:
+	* tools/man2help.tcl:
+	* tools/man2help2.tcl:
+	* win/makefile.vc: More winhelp target fixups.  Added a feather
+	bitmap to the non-scrollable area and changed the color to be
+	yellow from a plain white.  The colors can be whatever we want
+	them to be, but thought I would start with something bold.
+	[Bug 527941]
+
+	* doc/SetVar.3:

+
+2002-03-27  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* tools/man2help.tcl:
+	* win/makefile.vc:  winhelp target now copies all needed files
+	from tools/ to a workarea under $(OUT_DIR) and builds it from
+	there.  No build cruft is left in tools/ anymore.  All paths
+	used in man2help.tcl are now relative to where the script is.

+	need to done to the makehelp target to get to stop leaving build
+	files in the tools/ directory.  This does not address the syntax
+	errors in the man files.  Having the contents of tcl.hpj(.in)
+	inside makefile.vc allows for version numbers to be replaced with
+	macros.
+	
+	The new nmakehlp.c is built by rules.vc in preprocessing and removes
+	the need to use tricky shell syntax that wasn't compatible on Win9x
+	systems.  Clean targets made Win9x complient.  This is a first draft
+	repair for [Bug 533862].

+2002-03-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+	* doc/tcltest.n ([mainThread]):
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
+	* tests/tcltest.test:  Major code cleanup to deal with whitespace,
+	coding conventions, and namespace issues, with several minor bugs
+	fixed in the process.
+
+	* tests/main.test: Added missing [after cancel]s.
+
+2002-03-25  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/main.test: Removed workarounds for Bug 495977.
+
+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Keep the value of $::auto_path
+	unchanged, so that the tcltest package can test code that depends
+	on auto-loading.  If a testing application needs $::auto_path pruned,
+	it should do that itself.  [Bug 495726]
+	Improve the processing of the -constraints option to [test] so that
+	constraint lists can have arbitrary whitespace, and non-lists don't
+	blow things up.  [Bug 495977]
+	Corrected faulty variable initialization. [Bug 534845]

+
+2002-03-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalObjv): replaced obscure, incorrect

+
+2002-03-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+	* tests/winFCmd.test: fix [Bug 511666] and [Bug 511658],
+	and improved documentation of some aspects of the filesystem,
+	particularly 'Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory' which now might match
+	a single file/directory only, and 'file normalize' which
+	wasn't very clear before.  Removed inconsistency betweens
+	docs and the Tcl_Filesystem structure.  Also fixed 
+	[Bug 523217] and corrected file normalization on Unix so that 
+	it expands symbolic links.  Added some new tests of the 
+	filesystem code (in the new file 'fileSystem.test'), and 
+	some extra tests for correct handling of symbolic links.
+	Fix to [Bug 530960] which shows up on Win98.  Made comparison
+	with ".com" case insensitive in tclWinPipe.c
+	
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: But only between alpha
+	releases (users of the new Tcl_Filesystem lookup table in Tcl
+	8.4a4 need to handle the new way in which Tcl may call
+	Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory, and 'file normalize' on unix now
+	behaves correctly).  Only known impact is with the 'tclvfs'
+	extension.
+
+2002-03-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

+	[Bug 533758]. Removed the static RecordTracebackInfo(), as its
+	functionality is easily replicated by Tcl_LogCommandInfo. Bug
+	and redundancy noted by Don Porter.

+2002-03-14  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+	* unix/README: added --enable-langinfo doc.
+
+	* unix/tcl.spec:

+
+	* tests/encoding.test: added encoding-23.* tests
+	* generic/tclIO.c (FilterInputBytes): reset the TCL_ENCODING_START
+	flags in the ChannelState when using 'gets'. [Bug #523988]
+	Also reduced the value of ENCODING_LINESIZE from 30 to 20 as this
+	seems to improve the performance of 'gets' according to tclbench.
+
+2002-02-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceCommandProc): ensure that TraceCommandInfo

+
+2002-02-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+2002-02-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/GetIndex.3:
+	* generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):  Revised the
+	prototype of the Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct to take its struct
+	table as a (CONST VOID *) argument, better describing what it is,
+	maintaining source compatibility, and adding CONST correctness
+	according to TIP 27.  Thanks to Joe English for an elegant
+	solution. [Bug 520304]
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
+
+	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main,StdinProc):  Corrected some reference
+	count management errors on the interactive command Tcl_Obj found by
+	Purify.  Thanks to Jeff Hobbs for the report and assistance.
+
+2002-02-27  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalTokensStandard): corrected mem leak
+	in error case.
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c (TestStatProc[123]): correct harmless UMRs.
+
+	* generic/tclLink.c (Tcl_LinkVar): correct mem leak in error case.
+
+2002-02-27  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/socket.test (2.7): Accepted and applied patch for Tcl SF
+	  bug #523470 provided by Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+	  to avoid timing problems in that test.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel): Added code to regonize
+	  "/dev/tty" (by name) and to not handle it as tty / serial
+	  line. This is the controlling terminal and is special. Setting
+	  it into raw mode as is done for other tty's is a bad idea. This
+	  is a hackish fix for expect SGF Bug #520624. The fix has
+	  limitation: Tcl_MakeFileChannel handles tty's specially too, but
+	  is unable to recognize /dev/tty as it only gets a file
+	  descriptor, and no name for it.
+
+2002-02-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (StoreStatData): corrected mem leak.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): prevent obj leak in
+	  remedial regsub case.
+
+	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_TranslateFileName): decr refcount for
+	  error case to prevent mem leak.
+
+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): removed extra obj allocation.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixSock.c (Tcl_GetHostName): added an extra
+	  gethostbyname check to guard against failure with truncated
+	  names returned by uname.
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_SERIAL_PORT): added sys/modem.h check and defined
+	  _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED for HP-11 to get updated header decls.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: added Unix implementation of TIP #35, serial
+	  port support. [Patch #438509] (schroedter)
+
+2002-02-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmpCmds.c: (bugfix to the bugfix, hopefully the last)
+	  Bugfix to the new [for] compiling code: was setting a
+	  exceptArray parameter using another param which wasn't yet
+	  initialised, thus filling it with noise.
+
+2002-02-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Changed to recognize the

+	to accurately describe when and how they are used. [Bug #497459] (dgp)
+
+	* generic/tclHash.c (AllocArrayEntry, AllocStringEntry):
+	Before invoking ckalloc when creating a Tcl_HashEntry,
+	check that the amount of memory being allocated is
+	at least as large as sizeof(Tcl_HashEntry). The previous

+	or two bytes short. [Bug #521950] (dejong)
+
+2002-02-25  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalEx): avoiding a buffer overrun
+	reported by Joe English, and restoring tcl7.6 behaviour for
+	[subst]: badly terminated nested scripts will raise an error
+	and not be evaluated. [Bug #495207]
+
+2002-02-25  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: corrected strtoll prototype mismatch on Tru64.
+	* compat/strtod.c (strtod): simplified #includes

+
+2002-02-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c: updated to use Mac OS X 10.1 dyld APIs that

+
+2002-02-25  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds: fixing a bug in patch dated 2002-02-22, in
+	the code for [for] and [while]. Under certain conditions, for long
+	bodies, the exception range parameters were badly computed. Tests
+	forthcoming: I still can't reproduce the conditions in the

+	tclbench.
+	
+2002-02-25  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* compat/strtoul.c, compat/strtol.c, compat/strtod.c: Added UCHAR,

+
+	* compat/strtoull.c (strtoull):
+	* compat/strtoll.c (strtoll):
+	* compat/strtoul.c (strtoul): Fixed failure to handle leading
+	sign symbols '+' and '-' and '0X' and raise overflow errors.
+	[Bug 440916]  Also corrects prototype and errno problems.
+
+2002-02-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* configure: Regen.

+
+2002-02-22  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclObj.c: renamed global variable emptyString ->
+	tclEmptyString because it is no longer static.
+	* generic/tclPkg.c: Fix for panic when library is loaded on a
+	platform without backlinking without proper use of stubs. [Bug 476537]
+
+2002-02-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/regexpComp.test: updated regexp-11.[1-4] to match changes
+	in regexp.test for new regsub syntax
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tcl.m4: added --enable-64bit support for AIX-4 (using -q64
+	flag) when using IBM's xlc compiler.
+
+	* tests/safe.test: updated safe-8.5 and safe-8.7
+	* library/safe.tcl (CheckFileName): removed the limit on
+	sourceable file names (was only *.tcl or tclIndex files with no
+	more than one dot and 14 chars).  There is enough internal
+	protection in a safe interpreter already.  Fixes [Tk Bug #521560].
+
+2002-02-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds: [FR 465811]. Optimising [if], [for] and

+
+	coffbase.txt will be the master list for our "prefered base
+	addresses" set by the linker.  This should improve load-time
+	(NT only) by avoiding relocations.  Submissions to the list
+	by extension authors are encouraged.
+
+	Added a 'tidy' target to compliment 'clean' and 'hose' to remove
+	just the outputs. Also removed the $(winlibs) macro as it wasn't
+	being used.
+
+	Stuff left to do:
+	1) get the winhelp target to stop building in the tools/
+	directory.
+	2) stop using rmd.bat
+	3) add more dependacy rules.
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c:  Reverted back to -r1.6, as the header file
+	change to tclPort.h won't allow for easy embedded support
+	outside of the source dist.  Thanks to Don Porter for pointing
+	this out to me.
+
+2002-02-21  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/rules.vc:  Added a new "loimpact" option that sets the
+	-ws:aggressive linker option.  Off by default.  It's said to
+	keep the heap use low at the expense of alloc speed.
+
+	* win/tclAppInit.c: Changed #include "tcl.h" to be tclPort.h to
+	remove the raw windows.h include.  tclPort.h brings in windows.h
+	already and lessens the pre-compiled-header mush and the randomly
+	useless	#pragma comment (lib,...) references throughout the big
+	windows.h tree (as observed at high linker warning levels).
+
+2002-02-21  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Better guessing of LP64/ILP32 architecture, but
+	now sensitive to presence of (suitable) <limits.h>
+
+2002-02-20  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_RegExpRange,Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):
+	Overlooked a few source incompatibilities.  Now using CONST84.
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
+	* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_CmdObjTraceProc): silence warning from Sun
+	Workshop compiler.
+
+2002-02-20  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* win/buildall.vc.bat:
+	* win/makefile.vc:
+	* win/rules.vc: General clean-ups.  Added compiler and linker tests
+	for a) the pentium 0x0F errata, b) optimizing (not all have this),
+	and c) linker v6 section alignment confusion.  All these are tested
+	first to make sure any D4002 or LNK1117 warnings aren't displayed.
+	The pentium 0x0F errata is a recommended switch.  The v5 linker's
+	section alignment default is 512, but the v6 linker was changed
+	to 4096 in an attempt to speed loading on Win98.  I changed the
+	default to always be 512 across both linkers, unless linking
+	statically, then 4096 is used for the claimed speed effect. Using
+	a 512 alignment saves 12k bytes of dead space in the DLL.
+
+	Added IA64 B-stepping errata switch when the compiler supports it.
+
+	Added profiling to $(lflags) when requested and also removed the
+	explict -entry option as the default works fine as is.
+
+	Removed win/tclWinInit.c from the special case section to let it
+	use the common implicit rule as the $(EXTFLAGS) macro it had was
+	never referenced anywhere.
+
+2002-02-20  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: Added code to guess the correct settings for
+	TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG and TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE when configure doesn't
+	tell us them, as can happen with extensions.
+
+2002-02-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>
+
+	* doc/format.n: Updated docs to list the specification.
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Made behaviour on 64-bit
+	platforms correctly meet the specification, that %d works with the
+	native word-sized integer, instead of trying to guess (wrongly)
+	from the value being passed.
+
+2002-02-19  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* changes: First draft of updated changes for 8.4a4 release.
+
+2002-02-15  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: add strtoll/strtoull declarations for
+	platforms that do not define them.
+
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (STRING_AT): removed ptrdiff_t cast and
+	use of VOID* in default case (GNU-ism).

+
+	* tclExecute.c:
+	* tclIOGT.c:

+	  there is one nasty regarding _stati64

+
+	+----------------------+
+	| TIP #72 IMPLEMENTED. |
+	+----------------------+
+
+	There are a lot of changes from this TIP, so please see
+	http://purl.org/tcl/tip/72.html for discussion of
+	backward-compatability issues, but the main ones modifications are
+	in:
+
+	* generic/tcl.h: New types.
+	* generic/tcl.decls: New public functions.
+	* generic/tclExecute.c: 64-bit aware bytecode engine.
+	* generic/tclBinary.c: 64-bit handling in [binary] command.
+	* generic/tclScan.c: 64-bit handling in [scan] command.
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: 64-bit handling in [file] and [format]
+	commands.
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: New "wordSize" entry in ::tcl_platform.
+	* generic/tclFCmd.c: Large-file support (with many consequences.)
+	* generic/tclIO.c: Large-file support (with many consequences.)
+	* compat/strtoll.c, compat/strtoull.c: New support functions.
+	* unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: 64-bit support and greatly enhanced
+	cacheing.
+
+	Most other changes, including all those in doc/* and test/* as
+	well as the majority in the platform directories, follow on from
+	these.
+
+	Also coming out of the woodwork:
+	* generic/tclIndex.c: Better support for Cray PVP.
+	* win/tclWinMtherr.c: Better Borland support.
+
+	Note that, in a number of places through the Unix part of the
+	platform support, there are Tcl_Platform* references.  These are
+	expanded into the correct way to call that particular underlying
+	function, i.e. with or without a '64' suffix, and should be used
+	by people working on the core in preference to the API functions
+	they overlay so that the code remains portable depending on the
+	presence or absence of 64-bit support on the underlying platform.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: Extracted from the TIP
+
+	SUMMARY OF INCOMPATIBILITIES AND FIXES 
+	======================================
+
+	The behaviour of expressions containing constants that appear
+	positive but which have a negative internal representation will
+	change, as these will now usually be interpreted as wide
+	integers. This is always fixable by replacing the constant with
+	int(constant).
+
+	Extensions creating new channel types will need to be altered as
+	different types are now in use in those areas. The change to the
+	declaration of Tcl_FSStat and Tcl_FSLstat (which are the new
+	preferred API in any case) are less serious as no non-alpha
+	releases have been made yet with those API functions.
+
+	Scripts that are lax about the use of the l modifier in format and
+	scan will probably need to be rewritten. This should be very
+	uncommon though as previously it had absolutely no effect.
+
+	Extensions that create new math functions that take more than one
+	argument will need to be recompiled (the size of Tcl_Value
+	changes), and functions that accept arguments of any type
+	(TCL_EITHER) will need to be rewritten to handle wide integer
+	values. (I do not expect this to affect many extensions at all.)
+
+2002-02-14  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Trivial fix for bug
+	  #517503, a memory leak reported by Miguel Sofer
+	  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>. The leak happens if an error
+	  occurs for "set var [gets $chan]" and leak one empty object.
+
+2002-02-12  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* djgpp/ (new directory)
+	* djgpp/Makefile (new):
+	* unix/tclAppInit.c:
+	* unix/tclMtherr.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:  Early stage of DJGPP support for building
+	Tcl on DOS.  Dynamic loading isn't working, yet.  Requires watt32
+	for the TCP/IP stack.  No autoconf, yet.  Barely tested, but
+	makes a working exe that runs Tcl in protected-mode, flat memory.
+	[exec] and pipes will need the most work as multi-tasking on DOS
+	has to be carefully.
+
+2002-02-10  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* doc/CrtObjCmd.3:
+	* doc/CrtTrace.3:

+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclTest.c:
+	* tests/basic.test: Added Tcl_CreateObjTrace,
+	Tcl_GetCommandInfoFromToken and Tcl_SetCommandInfoFromToken.
+	(TIPs #32 and #79.)
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regenerated Stubs tables.
+	
+2002-02-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* unix/configure:
+	* unix/tcl.m4: added -pthread for FreeBSD to EXTRA_CFLAGS and
+	LDFLAGS.  Also triggered nodots only for FreeBSD-3.
+	Added AC_DEFINE(_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS) for Solaris.
+
+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: added thread-safe versions of readdir,
+	localtime, gmtime and inet_ntoa for threaded build. (jgdavidson)
+
+	* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): prevented ckfree being
+	called on a pointer to NULL.

+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c:
+	* win/tclWinInit.c: Partial TIP 27 rollback.  Following routines
+	restored to return (char *): Tcl_DStringAppend,
+	Tcl_DStringAppendElement, Tcl_JoinPath, Tcl_TranslateFileName,
+	Tcl_ExternalToUtfDString, Tcl_UtfToExternalDString,
+	Tcl_UniCharToUtfDString, Tcl_GetCwd, Tcl_WinTCharToUtf.  Also
+	restored Tcl_WinUtfToTChar to return (TCHAR *) and 
+	Tcl_UtfToUniCharDString to return (Tcl_UniChar *).  Modified
+	some callers.  This change recognizes that Tcl_DStrings are
+	de-facto white-box objects.
+
+	* generic/tclDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h: make genstubs
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: corrected use of C++-style comment.
+
+2002-02-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/scan.test:
+	* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): corrected scan 0x... %x
+	handling that didn't accept the 0x as a prelude to a base 16
+	number.  [Bug #495213]
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): made early check
+	for bad RE to stop checking further.
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): added special case to
+	search for simple 'string map' style regsub calls.
+	Delayed creation of resultPtr object until an initial match is
+	made, as the input string object can then be reused for no matches.
+	(Tcl_StringObjCmd): optimization improvements to the STR_MAP
+	algorithm for zero-length and nocase cases.
+
+	* tests/regexp.test:
+	* tests/regexpComp.test: extra code coverage tests.
+
+	* tests/string.test: added 10.18 and 10.19 extra tests.
+
+	* generic/regc_locale.c (casecmp): slight performance improvement.
+
+2002-02-05  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* library/http/http.tcl:
+	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl:  Corrected use of http::error when
+	::error was intended.  Bump to http 2.4.2.
+
+2002-02-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileOutputProc): Fixed [bug 465765] reported
+	  by Dale Talcott <daletalcott@users.sourceforge.net>. Avoid
+	  writing nothing into a file as STREAM based implementations will
+	  consider this a EOF (if the file is a pipe). Not done in the
+	  generic layer as this type of writing is actually useful to
+	  check the state of a socket.
+
+	* doc/open.n: Fixed [Bug 511540], added cross-reference to 'pid'
+	  as the command to use to retrieve the pid of a command pipeline
+	  created via 'open'.
+
+2002-02-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): handle quirky about case
+	earlier to avoid shimmering problem.
+
+2002-02-01  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* tests/io.test: io-39.22 split into two tests, one platform
+	  dependent, the other not. -eofchar is not empty on the windows
+	  platform.
+
+2002-02-01  Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c: fix to picky windows compiler problem
+	  with the 'MainLoop' function declaration.
+
+2002-01-31  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: TIP 27: Applied patch fixing CONST warnings on
+	  behalf of Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>.
+
+2002-01-30  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tcl.decls:
+	* generic/tcl.h:
+	* generic/tclInt.h: For each interface identified in the TIP 27
+	  changes below as a POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY, the source of the
+	  incompatibility has been parameterized so that it can be
+	  removed.  When compiling extension code against the Tcl header
+	  files, use the compiler flag -DUSE_NON_CONST to remove the
+	  irresolvable source incompatibilities introduced by the TIP 27
+	  changes.  Resolvable changes are left for extension authors to
+	  resolve.
+	* generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
+
+2002-01-30  Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/FileSystem.3: added documentation for 3 public
+	functions which had been overlooked.  Fixes [Bug 507701].
+	* unix/mkLinks: make mklinks
+
+2002-01-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* tests/regexpComp.test:
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): enhanced to support
+	-nocase and -- options.
+
+2002-01-28  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_LOAD_TCLCONFIG):
+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_LOAD_TCLCONFIG): Set TCL_LIB_SPEC,
+	TCL_STUB_LIB_SPEC, and TCL_STUB_LIB_PATH to the
+	values of TCL_BUILD_LIB_SPEC, TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_SPEC,
+	and TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_PATH when tclConfig.sh is loaded
+	from the build directory. A Tcl extension should
+	make use of the non-build versions of these variables
+	since they will work in both cases. This modification
+	was described in TIP 34.
+
+2002-01-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* win/tclWinReg.c (regConnectRegistryProc,RecursiveDeleteKey)
+	(DeleteKey,GetKeyNames,GetType,GetValue,OpenSubKey,SetValue):
+	redid the CONSTification as previous changes caused failing tests.
+
+	* tests/regexpComp.test (new):
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclBasic.c: added TclCompileRegexpCmd entry
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): corrected to return
+	TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE instead of TCL_ERROR for parsing errors, so
+	it only throws the error for runtime compile, in case the user
+	modifies 'string'.
+	(TclCompileRegexpCmd): first try at a byte-compiled regexp
+	command.  It handles static strings and ^$ bounded static strings.
+	(TclCompileAppendCmd): made TclPushVarName call always use
+	TCL_CREATE_VAR as numWords is always > 2 at that point.
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode:INST_LIST): correct
+	possibly dangerous decr in macro call.
+
+	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpFindVariable): CONSTification touch-up
+
+	* win/tclWinReg.c (OpenSubKey): corrected bug introduced in
+	CONSTification that dropped pointer reference.
+
+	* ChangeLog.2000 (new file):
+	* ChangeLog: broke changes from 2000 into ChangeLog.2000 to reduce
+	  size of the main ChangeLog.
+
+2002-01-28  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:  Added preprocessor logic to force a
+	typedef of TCHAR when __STDC__ is defined when using the uncommon
+	-Za compiler switch with the microsoft compiler.
+
+2002-01-27  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* doc/package.n: Documented global namespace context for script
+	evaluation by [package require].

+	* mac/tclMacResource.c:
+	* mac/tclMacSock.c: TIP 27 CONSTification induced changes
+
+	* tests/event.test:
+	* tests/main.test: added catches/constraints to test that
+	use features that don't exist on the mac.
+
+2002-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	Make -eofchar and -translation options read only for
+	server sockets. [Bug 496733]
+	
+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetChannelOption, Tcl_SetChannelOption):
+	Instead of returning nothing for the -translation option
+	on a server socket, always return "auto". Return the empty
+	string enclosed in quotes for the -eofchar option on
+	a server socket. Fixup -eofchar usage message so that
+	it matches the implementation.
+	* tests/io.test: Add -eofchar tests and -translation tests
+	to ensure options are read only on server sockets.
+	* tests/socket.test: Update tests to account for -eofchar
+	and -translation option changes.

+	* generic/tclIO.c (WriteChars): Fix for SF #506297, reported by
+	  Martin Forssen <ruric@users.sourceforge.net>. The encoding
+	  chosen in the script exposing the bug writes out three intro
+	  characters when TCL_ENCODING_START is set, but does not consume
+	  any input as TCL_ENCODING_END is cleared. As some output was
+	  generated the enclosing loop calls UtfToExternal again, again
+	  with START set. Three more characters in the out and still no
+	  use of input ... To break this infinite loop we remove
+	  TCL_ENCODING_START from the set of flags after the first call
+	  (no condition is required, the later calls remove an unset flag,
+	  which is a no-op). This causes the subsequent calls to
+	  UtfToExternal to consume and convert the actual input.

+
+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Fixed bug #504642 as
+	  reported by Brian Griffin <bgriffin@users.sourceforge.net>,
+	  using his patch. Before the patch the generic I/O layer held an
+	  unannounced reference to the interp result to store the read
+	  line into. This unfortunately has disastrous results if the
+	  channel driver executes a tcl script to perform its operation,
+	  this freeing the interp result. In that case we are
+	  dereferencing essentially a dangling reference. It is not truly
+	  dangling because the object is in the free list, but this only
+	  causes us to smash the free list and have the error occur later
+	  somewhere else. The patch simply creates a new object for the
+	  line and later sets it into the interp result when we are done
+	  with reading.

+		* Added VFS-aware internal routines for managing the
+		  startup script selection.
+		* Tcl variable 'tcl_interactive' is now linked to C variable
+		  'tty' so that one can disable/enable interactive prompts
+		  at the script level when there is no startup script.  This
+		  is meant for use by the test suite.
+		* Consistent use of the Tcl libraries standard channels as
+		  returned by Tcl_GetStdChannel(); as opposed to the channels
+		  named 'stdin', 'stdout', and 'stderr' in the master interp,
+		  which can be different or unavailable.
+		* Tcl_Main now calls Tcl_Exit() if evaluation of [exit] in the
+		  master interpreter returns, assuring Tcl_Main does not return.
+		* Documented Tcl_Main's absence from public stub table
+		* Documented that Tcl_Main does not return.
+		* Documented Tcl variables set by Tcl_Main.
+		* All prompts are done from a single procedure, Prompt.
+		* Use of Tcl_Obj-enabled interfaces everywhere.
+
+	* generic/tclInt.decls (TclGetStartupScriptPath,
+	  TclSetStartupScriptPath): New internal VFS-aware routines for
+	managing the startup script of Tcl_Main.
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: make genstubs
+
+	* generic/tclTest.c (TestsetmainloopCmd,TestexitmainloopCmd,
+	  Tcltest_Init,TestinterpdeleteCmd):
+	* tests/main.test (new):  Added new file to test suite that
+	thoroughly tests generic/tclMain.c; added some new test commands
+	for testing Tcl_SetMainLoop().

+	to accurately describe when and how they are used.  [Bug 497459]
+
+	* generic/tclThreadJoin.c (TclRememberJoinableThread,TclJoinThread):
+	Replaced Tcl_Alloc and Tcl_Free calls with ckalloc and ckfree so that

+
+	* tests/basic.test (basic-39.4): Greatly simplified test while
+	still leaving it so that it crashes when run without the fix to
+	the [foreach] implementation.
+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ForeachObjCmd): Stopped Bug #494348 from
+	happening by not trying to be so clever with cacheing; if nothing
+	untoward is happening anyway, the less efficient technique will
+	only add a few instruction cycles (one function call and a few
+	derefs/assigns per list per iteration, with no change in the
+	number of tests) and if something odd *is* going on, the code is
+	now far more robust.
+
+	* tests/basic.test (basic-39.4): Reproducable script from Bug #494348

+	the test is performed with the right internal function since
+	[string match] no longer uses Tcl_StringCaseMatch internally.
+
+	* tests/string.test (string-11.51):
+	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharCaseMatch):
+	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_StringCaseMatch): Fault with matching
+	case-insensitive non-ASCII patterns containing upper case
+	characters.  [Bug #233257]
