+2007-12-31 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * doc/dict.n: Clarified meaning of dictionary values following
+ discussion on comp.lang.tcl.
+
+2007-12-26 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c: More [lsort] data handling streamlines. The
+ function MergeSort is gone, essentially inlined into Tcl_LsortObjCmd.
+ It is not a straight inlining, two loops over all lists elements where
+ merged in the process: the linked list elements are now built and
+ merged into the temporary sublists in the same pass.
+
+2007-12-25 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c: More [lsort] data handling streamlines. Extra
+ mem reqs of latest patches removed, restored to previous mem profile.
+ Improved -unique handling, now eliminating repeated elems immediately
+ instead of marking them to avoid reinsertion at the end.
+
+2007-12-23 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): TCL_REG_NOSUB cannot
+ * tests/regexp.test (regexp-22.2): be used because it
+ * tests/regexpComp.test: [Bug 1857126] disallows backrefs.
+
+2007-12-21 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c: Speed patch for lsort. [Patch 1856994]
+
+2007-12-21 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd, Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): Avoid
+ calling SelectObjFromSublist when there are no sublists.
+
+2007-12-21 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Preallocate a listObj of
+ sufficient length for the sorted list instead of growing it. Second
+ commit replaces calls to Tcl_ListObjAppenElement with direct access to
+ the internal rep.

+ (TclMatchIsTrivial): simplify TclMatchIsTrivial to remove ] check.
+
+2007-12-06 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Simplify the setting up of
+ * generic/tclIOCmd.c (TclInitChanCmd): the [chan] ensemble. This
+ * library/init.tcl: gets rid of quite a bit of

+
+2007-12-05 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * win/configure, win/tcl.m4 (LIBS_GUI): mingw needs -lole32

+
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): Prevent shimmering crash

+2007-12-03 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Adjusted the [switch]
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): command so that when
+ passed two arguments, no check for options are performed. This is OK
+ since in the two-arg case, detecting an option would definitely lead
+ to a syntax error. [Patch 1836519]
+
+2007-11-29 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * win/makefile.vc: add ws2_32.lib to baselibs

+ always available now.
+
+2007-11-29 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+ buffer length tracking. After gethostname() writes into a buffer,
+ convert only the written string to internal encoding, not the whole
+ buffer.
+
+2007-11-28 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclConfig.c: Corrected failure of the [::foo::pkgconfig]
+ command to clean up registered configuration data when the query
+ command is deleted from the interp. [Bug 983501]
+
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_SetEnsembleMappingDict): Added checks
+ that the dict value passed in is in the format required to make the
+ internals of ensembles work. [Bug 1436096]
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c: Simplify test and improve accuracy of error
+ message in latest changes.
+
+2007-11-28 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

+ comments.
+
+2007-11-27 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/tclWinSock.c: Add mising encoding conversion of the [info
+ hostname] value from the system encoding to Tcl's internal encoding.
+
+ * doc/chan.n: "Fix" the limitation on channel -eofchar
+ * doc/fconfigure.n: values to single byte characters by
+ * generic/tclIO.c: documenting it and making it fail loudly.
+ * tests/chan.test: Thanks to Stuart Cassoff for contributing the
+ fix. [Bug 800753]
+
+2007-11-26 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c:
+ * generic/tclInt.h:
+ * unix/tclUnixInit.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Fix stack checking via workaround for bug in
+ glibc's pthread_attr_get_np, patch from [Bug 1815573]. Many thanks to
+ Sergei Golovan (aka Teo) for detecting the bug and helping diagnose
+ and develop the fix.
+
+2007-11-24 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictAppendCmd): Fix bug in [dict
+ append] compiler which caused strange stack corruption. [Bug 1837392]
+
+2007-11-23 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIORChan.c: Fixed a problem with reflected channels. 'chan
+ postevent' is defined to work only from within the interpreter
+ containing the handler command. Sensible, we want only handler
+ commands to use it. It identifies the channel by handle. The channel
+ moves to a different interpreter or thread. The interpreter containing
+ the handler command doesn't know the channel any longer. 'chan
+ postevent' fails, not finding the channel any longer. Uhm.
+
+ Fixed by creating a second per-interpreter channel table, just for
+ reflected channels, where each interpreter remembers for which
+ reflected channels it has the handler command. This info does not move
+ with the channel itself. The table is updated by 'chan create', and
+ used by 'chan postevent'.
+
+ * tests/ioCmd.test: Updated the testsuite.
+
+2007-11-23 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): handle the right data for
+ * tests/var.test (var-14.2): [array names $var -glob $ptn]
+
+2007-11-23 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (String*Cmd, TclInitStringCmd): Rebuilt [string]
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileString*Cmd): as an ensemble.
+
+2007-11-22 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c (Dict*Cmd,TclInitDictCmd): Rebuilt the [dict]
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDict*Cmd): command as an ensemble.
+
+2007-11-22 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Rewrote the [string] and
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c (Tcl_DictObjCmd): [dict] implementations to be
+ ready for conversion to ensembles.
+
+ * tests/string.test (string-12.22): Flag shimmering bug found in
+ [string range].
+
+2007-11-21 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileEnsemble): Rewrote the ensemble
+ compiler to remove many of the limitations. Can now compile scripts
+ that use unique prefixes of subcommands, and which have mappings of a
+ command to multiple words (provided the first is a compilable command
+ of course).
+
+2007-11-21 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c (TclMakeEnsemble): Factor out the code to set up
+ a core ensemble from a table of information about subcommands, ready
+ for reuse within the core.
+
+ * generic/various: Start to return more useful Error codes, currently
+ mainly on assorted lookup failures.
+
+2007-11-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c: Changed the underlying implementation of the
+ hash table used in dictionaries to additionally keep all entries in
+ the hash table in a linked list, which is only ever added to at the
+ end. This makes iteration over all entries in the dictionary in
+ key insertion order a trivial operation, and so cleans up a great deal
+ of complexity relating to dictionary representation and stability of
+ iteration order.
+
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+ For any code that depended on the (strange) old iteration order.
+
+ * generic/tclConfig.c (QueryConfigObjCmd): Correct usage of
+ Tcl_WrongNumArgs.
+
+2007-11-19 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileInfoExistsCmd): Compiler for the

+
+ * generic/tclInt.h (ENSEMBLE_COMPILE): Added flag to allow for cleaner

+
+2007-11-15 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceEnsembleCmd): Must pass a non-NULL
+ interp to Tcl_SetEnsemble* functions.
+
+ * doc/re_syntax.n: Try to make this easier to read. It's still a very
+ difficult manual page!
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Allow people to turn off the -rpath
+ option to their linker if they so desire. This is a configuration only
+ recommended for (some) vendors. Relates to [Patch 1231022].
+
+2007-11-15 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c: Prefer UINT_PTR to DWORD_PTR when casting
+ pointers to integer types for greater portability. [Bug 1831253]
+
+2007-11-15 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: add new chanio.test.

+
+ * generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): Ensure that we get our
+ count in our INST_START_CMD calls right, even when there's a failure
+ to compile a command directly.
+
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_SetEnsembleSubcommandList)
+ (Tcl_SetEnsembleMappingDict): Special code to make sure that
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c (TclInitInfoCmd): [info exists] is compiled
+ right while not allowing changes to the ensemble to cause havok.
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileInfoCmd): Simple compiler for the

+

+ instructions to allow the testing of whether a variable exists.
+
+2007-11-14 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

+
+2007-11-10 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * win/tclWin32Dll.c: Rewrote the Windows stack checking algorithm to
+ use information from VirtualQuery to determine the bound of the stack.
+ This change fixes a bug where the guard page of the stack was never
+ restored after an overflow. It also eliminates a nasty piece of
+ assembly code for structured exception handling on mingw. It
+ introduces an assumption that the stack is a single memory arena
+ returned from VirtualAlloc, but the code in MSVCRT makes the same
+ assumption, so it should be fairly safe.

+
+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** (tclInt.h and tclCompile.h)
+ Extensions that access internals defined in tclInt.h and/or
+ tclCompile.h may lose both binary and source compatibility. The
+ relevant changes are:
+ 1. 'struct Var' is completely changed, all acceses to its internals
+ (either direct or via the TclSetVar* and TclIsVar* macros) will
+ malfunction. Var flag values and semantics changed too.
+ 2. 'struct Bytecode' has an additional field that has to be
+ initialised to NULL
+ 3. 'struct Namespace' is larger, as the varTable is now one pointer
+ larger than a Tcl_HashTable. Direct access to its fields will
+ malfunction.
+ 4. 'struct CallFrame' grew one more field (the second such growth with
+ respect to Tcl8.4).
+ 5. API change for the functions TclFindCompiledLocal, TclDeleteVars
+ and many internal functions in tclVar.c
+
+ Additionally, direct access to variable hash tables via the standard
+ Tcl_Hash* interface is to be considered as deprecated. It still works
+ in the present version, but will be broken by further specialisation
+ of these hash tables. This concerns especially the table of array
+ elements in an array, as well as the varTable field in the Namespace
+ struct.

+
+ * generic/tclParse.c: In contexts where interp and parsePtr->interp

+
+2007-07-11 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompExpr.c: Added a "parseOnly" flag argument to
+ ParseExpr() to indicate whether the caller is Tcl_ParseExpr(), with an
+ end goal of filling a Tcl_Parse with Tcl_Tokens representing the
+ parsed expression, or TclCompileExpr() with the goal of compiling and
+ executing the expression. In the latter case, more aggressive
+ conversion of QUOTED and BRACED lexeme to literals is done. In the
+ former case, all such conversion is avoided, since Tcl_Token
+ production would revert it anyway. This enables simplifications to the
+ GenerateTokensForLiteral() routine as well.
+
+2007-07-10 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompExpr.c: Added a field for operator precedence
+ to be stored directly in the parse tree. There's no memory cost to
+ this addition, since that memory would have been lost to alignment
+ issues anyway. Also, converted precedence definitions and lookup
+ tables to use symbolic constants instead of raw number for improved
+ readability, and continued extending/improving/correcting comments.
+ Removed some unused counter variables. Renamed some variables for
+ clarity and replaced some cryptic logic with more readable macros.
+
+2007-07-09 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompExpr.c: Revision so that the END lexeme never
+ gets inserted into the parse tree. Later tree traversal never reaches
+ it since its location in the tree is not variable. Starting and
+ stopping with the START lexeme (node 0) is sufficient. Also finished
+ lexeme code commentary.
+
+ * generic/tclCompExpr.c: Added missing creation and return of
+ the Tcl_Parse fields that indicate error conditions. [Bug 1749987]
+

+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Moved the generation of command strings for

+
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY in internal API***
+ The functions TclCheckInterpTraces() and TclCheckExecutionTraces() (in

+
+ * generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript, TclPrintInstruction):
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Changed the definition of
+ INST_START_CMD so that it knows how many commands start at the current

+ from 2007-01-19 for what triggered this.)

+2007-03-30 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompile.c:

+
+ * generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_ApplyObjCmd):

+
+2007-03-28 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+
+ * generic/tclInt.h (TclStringObjReverse): New internal routine

+
+ * win/tclWinThrd.c: Thread exit handler marks the current thread as

+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: Revised GrowEvaluationStack to take an
+ argument specifying the growth required by the caller, so that a

+
+ * library/clock.tcl (ReadZoneinfoFile): Added Y2038 compliance to the

+ for the registry library.
+
+2007-03-08 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclListObj.c (TclLsetList): Rewrite so that the routine

+
+2007-03-08 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclListObj.c (TclLindexList, TclLindexFlat): Moved these

+
+2007-03-08 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * library/clock.tcl: Further tweaks to the Windows time zone table
+ (restoring missing Mexican time zones). Added rudimentary handling of
+ version-2 'zoneinfo' files. Update US DST rules so that zones such as
+ 'EST5EDT' get the correct transition dates.
+ * tests/clock.test: Added rudimentary test cases for 'zoneinfo'
+ parsing. Adjusted several tests that depended on obsolete US DST
+ transition rules.
+
+2007-03-07 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: add spinlock debugging and sanity checks.
+
+ * macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: ensure gcc version used by

+ * unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
+
+2007-03-07 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c (TclLindex*): Rewrites to make efficient
+ private copies of the list and indexlist arguments, so we can operate
+ on the list elements directly with no fear of shimmering effects.
+ Replaces defensive coding schemes that are otherwise required. End
+ result is that TclLindexList is entirely a wrapper around

+
+ * generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_AppendAllObjTypes): Converted to simpler

+
+2006-11-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+ * tests/event.test (event-11.5): Rewrote tests to stop Tcl from

+ * tests/iogt.test (__echo_srv__.tcl): where not necessary. This is

+
+2006-10-31 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/rules.vc: Fix for [Bug 1582769] - options conflict with VC2003.
+
+2006-10-31 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c, generic/tclNamesp.c, generic/tclProc.c:
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Removed the callObjc and callObjv fields from the
+ Interp structure. They did not function correctly and made other parts
+ of the core amazingly complex, resulting in a substantive change to
+ [info level] behaviour. [Bug 1587618]
+ * library/clock.tcl: Removed use of [info level 0] for calculating the
+ command name as used by the user and replace with a literal. What's
+ there now is sucky, but at least appears to be right to most users.
+ * tests/namespace.test (namespace-42.7,namespace-47.1): Reverted
+ changes to these tests.
+ * tests/info.test (info-9.11,info-9.12): Added knownBug constraint
+ since these tests require a different behaviour of [info level] than
+ is possible because of other dependencies.
+
+2006-10-30 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl (option-toc): handle any kind of options
+ defined toc section (needed for ttk docs)
+
+2006-10-30 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c (TEOVI): insured that the interp's callObjc/v
+ fields are restored after traces run, as they be spoiled. This was
+ causing a segfault in tcllib's profiler tests.
+
+2006-10-30 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_MOD): Corrected improper testing of the

+
+2006-10-28 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclProc.c (ObjInterpProcEx, TclObjInterpProcCore): Split the
+ core of procedures to make it easier to build procedure-like code
+ without going through horrible contortions. This is the last critical
+ component to make advanced OO systems workable as simple loadable
+ extensions. TOIPC is now in the internal stub table.
+ (MakeProcError, MakeLambdaError): Refactored ProcessProcResultCode to
+ be simpler, some of which goes to TclObjInterpProcCore, and the rest
+ of which is now in these far simpler routines which just do errorInfo
+ stack generation for different types of procedure-like entity.
+ * tests/apply.test (apply-5.1): Updated to expect the more informative
+ form of message.
+
+2006-10-27 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (HasLocalVars): New macro to make various bits and
+ pieces cleaner.
+
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c (TclSetNsPath): Expose SetNsPath() through
+ internal stubs table with semi-external name.
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h (CallFrame): Add a field for handling context data
+ for extensions (like object systems) that should be tied to a call
+ frame (and not a command or interpreter).
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand): Change to take CONST args;
+ they were only ever used in a constant way anyway, so this appears to
+ be a spot that was missed during TIP#27 work.
+
+2006-10-26 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclProc.c (SetLambdaFromAny): minor change, eliminate
+ redundant call to Tcl_GetString (thanks aku).

+ * generic/tclInterp.c (ApplyObjCmd):

+ (heap) with TclStackAlloc (execution stack).

+ TCL_EVAL_NOREWRITE for aliases.
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): removed redundant check
+ for ensembles. [Bug 1577628]
+
+ * library/clock.tcl (format, scan): corrected wrong # args messages to
+ * tests/clock.test (3.1, 34.1): make use of the new rewrite
+ capabilities of [info level]
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Lets TEOV update the iPtr->callObj[cv] new
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: fields, except when the flag bit
+ * generic/tclInt.h: TCL_EVAL_NOREWRITE is present. These values
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c: are used by Tcl_PushCallFrame to initialise
+ * generic/tclProc.c: the frame's obj[cv] fields, and allows
+ * tests/namespace.test: [info level] to know and use ensemble
+ rewrites. [Bug 1577492]
+
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+ The return value from [info level 0] on interp alias calls is changed:
+ previously returned the target command (including curried values), now
+ returns the source - what was actually called.
+
+2006-10-23 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Modified the Tcl call stack so there is
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: always a valid CallFrame, even at level 0
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c: [Patch 1577278]. Most of the changes
+ * generic/tclInt.h: involve removing tests for a NULL
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c: iPtr->(var)framePtr. There is now a
+ * generic/tclObj.c: CallFrame pushed at interp creation with a
+ * generic/tclProc.c: pointer to it stored in iPtr->rootFramePtr.
+ * generic/tclTrace.c: A second unused field in Interp is
+ * generic/tclVar.c: hijacked to enable further functionality,
+ currently unused (but with several FRQs depending on it).
+
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+ Any user that includes tclInt.h and needs to determine if it is
+ running at level 0 should change (iPtr->varFramePtr == NULL) to
+ (iPtr->varFramePtr == iPtr->rootFramePtr).

+2006-10-09 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * tests/*.test: updated all tests to refer explicitly to the global

+
+ * generic/regc_color.c (singleton):
+ * generic/regc_cvec.c (addmcce):
+ * generic/regcomp.c (compile, dovec): the static function addmcce does
+ nothing when called with two NULL pointers; the only call is by
+ compile with two NULL pointers (regcomp.c #includes regc_cvec.c).
+ Large parts (all?) the code for mcce (multi character collating
+ element) that we do not use is ifdef'ed out with the macro
+ REGEXP_MCCE_ENABLE.
+ This silences coverity bugs 7, 16, 80
+
+ * generic/regc_color.c (uncolorchain):
+ * generic/regc_nfa.c (freearc): changed tests and asserts to
+ equivalent formulation, designed to avoid an explicit comparison to
+ NULL and satisfy coverity that 6 and 9 are not bugs.
+
+2006-09-27 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * tests/pkg.test: Added test for version comparison at the 32bit
+ boundary. [Bug 1563836]
+
+ * generic/tclPkg.c: Rewrote CompareVersion to perform string
+ comparison instead of numeric. This breaks through the 32bit limit on
+ version numbers. See code for details (handling of leading zeros,
+ signs, etc.). un-CONSTed some arguments of CompareVersions,
+ RequirementSatisfied, and AllRequirementsSatisfied. The new compare
+ modifies the string (temporary string terminators). All callers use
+ heap-allocated ver-intreps, so we are good with that. [Bug 1563836]
+
+2006-09-27 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclFileName.c (TclGlob): added a panic for a call with
+ TCL_GLOBMODE_TAILS and pathPrefix==NULL. This would cause a segfault,
+ as found by coverity #26.
+
+2006-09-26 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * doc/Encoding.3: Added covariant 'const' qualifier for the

+2006-07-30 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * generic/tclClock.c (GetJulianDayFromEraYearMonthDay): Corrected
+ several errors in converting dates before the Common Era [Bug 1426279]
+ * library/clock.tcl: Corrected syntax errors in generated code for %EC
+ %Ey, and %W format groups [Bug 1505383]. Corrected a bug in cache
+ management for format strings containing [glob] metacharacters [Bug
+ 1494664]. Corrected several errors in formatting/scanning of years
+ prior to the Common Era, and added the missing %EE format group to
+ indicate the era.

+ format groups are included in the tests. (The code depends on %U and
+ %V formatting working correctly when 'makeTestCases.tcl' is run,
+ rather than making a completely independent check.) Added tests for
+ [glob] metacharacters in strings. Added tests for years prior to the

+2006-07-20 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier, Tcl_WaitForEvent):
+ create notifier thread lazily upon first call to Tcl_WaitForEvent()
+ rather than in Tcl_InitNotifier(). Allows calling exeve() in processes
+ where the event loop has not yet been run (Darwin's execve() fails in
+ processes with more than one thread), in particular allows embedders
+ to call fork() followed by execve(), previously the pthread_atfork()
+ child handler's call to Tcl_InitNotifier() would immediately recreate
+ the notifier thread in the child after a fork.
+
+ * macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c (TclMacOSXCopyFileAttributes): add support
+ * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): for weakly

+
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h: Added the inclusion of <AvailabilityMacros.h>.
+ The missing header caused the upcoming #if conditions to wrongly

+
+ * generic/tclAsync.c: Made Tcl_AsyncDelete() more tolerant when called
+ after all thread TSD has been garbage-collected.
+
+2006-07-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclParseExpr.c: Completely new expression parser that
+ builds a parse tree instead of operating with deep recursion. This
+ corrects reports of stack-blowing crashes parsing long expressions
+ [Bug 906201] and replaces a fundamentally O(N^2) algorithm with an
+ O(N) one [RFE 903765]. The new parser is better able to generate error
+ messages that clearly report both the nature and context of the syntax
+ error [Bugs 1029267, 1381715]. For now, the code for the old parser is
+ still present and can be activated with a "#define OLD_EXPR_PARSER
+ 1". This is for the sake of a clean implementation patch, and for ease
+ of benchmarking. The new parser is non-recursive, so much lighter in
+ stack consumption, but it does use more heap, so there may be cases
+ where parsing of long expressions that succeeded with the old parser
+ will lead to out of memory panics with the new one. There are still
+ more improvements possible on that point, though significant progress
+ may require changes to the Tcl_Token specifications documented for the
+ public Tcl_Parse*() routines.
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for any callers that rely on the exact
+ (usually terrible) error messages generated by the old parser. This
+ includes a large number of tests in the test suite.
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Replaced TclParseWhiteSpace() with
+ * generic/tclParse.c: TclParseAllWhiteSpace() which is what
+ * generic/tclParseExpr.c: all the callers really needed.
+ Breaking whitespace runs at newlines is useful only to the command
+ parsing function, and it can call the file scoped routine
+ ParseWhiteSpace() to do that.
+
+ * tests/expr-old.test: Removed knownBug constraints that masked
+ * tests/expr.test: failures due to revised error messages.
+ * tests/parseExpr.test:
+
+2006-06-20 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: Changed default configuration to
+ * generic/tclInt.decls: #undef USE_OBSOLETE_FS_HOOKS which disables
+ * generic/tclTest.c: access to the Tcl 8.3 internal routines for
+ hooking into filesystem operations. Everyone ought to have migrated to
+ Tcl_Filesystems by now.
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for any code still stuck in the
+ pre-Tcl_Filesystem era.
+
+ * generic/tclIntDecls.h: make genstubs
+ * generic/tclStubInit.c:
+
+ * generic/tclStrToD.c: Removed dead code that permitted disabling of
+ recognition of the new 0b and 0o numeric formats.
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: Removed dead code that implemented alternative
+ * generic/tclObj.c: design where numeric values did not
+ automatically narrow to the smallest Tcl_ObjType required to hold them
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c: Removed dead code that was old implementation
+ of [format].
+
+2006-06-14 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixPort.h (Darwin): support MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED

+
+2006-06-14 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/format.n, doc/scan.n: Added examples for converting between

+ Forte 6. [Bug 1503729]
+
+2006-06-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/GetStdChan.3: Added recommendation that each call to

+
+2006-06-05 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+ * doc/Alloc.3: Added documentation of promise that Tcl_Realloc(NULL,x)

+ nonsense sentence to say something meaningful.
+
+2006-05-29 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h (Tcl_DecrRefCount): use if/else construct to allow
+ placement in unbraced outer if/else conditions. (jcw)
+
+2006-05-27 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: implemented pthread_atfork() handler that
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): recreates CoreFoundation state and
+ notifier thread in the child after a fork(). Note that pthread_atfork
+ is available starting with Tiger only. Because vfork() is used by the
+ core on Darwin, [exec]/[open] are not affected by this fix, only
+ extensions or embedders that call fork() directly (such as TclX).
+ However, this only makes fork() safe from corefoundation tcl with
+ --disable-threads; as on all platforms, forked children may deadlock
+ in threaded tcl due to the potential for stale locked mutexes in the
+ child. [Patch 923072]

+
+ * generic/tclProc.c (ProcCompileProc): When a bump of the compile
+ epoch forces the re-compile of a proc body, take care not to overwrite

+ that the fix will not be effective for code that calls the private
+ routine TclProcCompileProc() directly. [Bug 1482718]

+ is OK, and the panic is as a precaution if someone twiddled the

+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Temporarily suppress the use of

+ removes the need for 'catch' to deal with non-understood path names.
+
+ Small optimisation to implementation of pattern==NULL case of TclGlob,
+ and clarification to the documentation. [Tclvfs bug 1405317]
+
+2006-03-18 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/fCmd.test: added knownBug test case for [Bug 1394972]
+
+ * tests/winFCmd.test:
+ * tests/tcltest.test: corrected tests to better account for behaviour
+ of writable/non-writable directories on Windows 2000/XP. This, with
+ the previous patches, closes [Bug 1193497]
+
+2006-03-17 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * doc/chan.n: Updated with documentation for the commands 'chan
+ create' and 'chan postevent' (TIP #219).

+ with regard to setup and cleanup. [Bug 681793]
+
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclGetOpenMode): Added the flag O_APPEND to the
+ list of POSIX modes used when opening a file for 'a'ppend. This
+ enables the proper automatic seek-to-end-on-write by the OS. See [Bug
+ 680143] for longer discussion.
+
+ * tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-13.7.*): Extended the testsuite to check the
+ new handling of 'a'.
+
+2006-03-15 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * tests/socket.test: Extended the timeout in socket-11.11 from 10 to
+ 40 seconds to allow for really slow machines. Also extended
+ actual/expected results with value of variable 'done' to make it
+ clearer when a test fails due to a timeout. [Bug 792159]
+
+2006-03-15 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/fCmd.test: add proper test constraints so the new tests don't
+ run on Unix.
+
+2006-03-14 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): Modified the processing of
+ pipebars to fail if the last bar is followed only by redirections.
+ [Bug 768659]
+
+2006-03-14 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * doc/fconfigure.n: Clarified that -translation is binary is reported
+ as lf when queried, because it is identical to lf, except for the
+ special additional behaviour when setting it. [Bug 666770]
+
+2006-03-14 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * doc/clock.n: Removed double-quotes around section title NAME; not
+ needed.
+ * unix/installManpage: Reverted part to handle double-quotes in
+ section NAME, chokes older sed installations.
+
+2006-03-14 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::Defaults): Fixed handling of environment
+ variable TCLX.y_TM_PATH, bad variable reference. Thanks to Julian
+ Noble. [Bug 1448251]
+
+2006-03-14 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: updated patch to deal with 'file writable' issues
+ on Windows XP/2000.
+ * generic/tclTest.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixTest.c:
+ * win/tclWinTest.c:
+ * tests/fCmd.test: updated test suite to deal with correct permissions
+ setting and differences between XP/2000 and 95/98 3 tests still fail;
+ to be dealt with shortly
+
+2006-03-13 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclEncoding.c: Report error when an escape encoding is
+ missing one of its sub-encodings. [Bug 506653]
+
+ * unix/configure.in: Revert change from 2005-07-26 that sometimes
+ * unix/configure: added $prefix/share to the tcl_pkgPath. See
+ [Patch 1231015]. autoconf-2.59.
+
+2006-03-10 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclProc.c (ObjInterpProcEx):
+ * tests/apply.test (apply-5.1): Fix [apply] error messages so that
+ they quote the lambda expression. [Bug 1447355]
+
+2006-03-10 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ -- Summary of changes fixing [Bug 1437595] --
+
+ * generic/tclEvent.c: Cosmetic touches and identation
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Added TclpFinalizeSockets() call.
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c: Calls TclpFinalizeSockets() as part of the
+ TclFinalizeIOSubsystem().
+
+ * unix/tclUnixSock.c: Added no-op TclpFinalizeSockets().
+
+ * win/tclWinPipe.c, win/tclWinSock.c: Finalization of sockets/pipes is
+ now solely done in TclpFinalizeSockets() and TclpFinalizePipes() and
+ not over the thread-exit handler, because the order of actions the Tcl
+ generic core will impose may result in cores/hangs if the thread exit
+ handler tears down corresponding subsystem(s) too early.
+
+2006-03-10 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: previous patch breaks tests, so removed.
+
+2006-03-09 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>

+
+2006-03-07 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * changes: Update in prep. for 8.5a4 release.
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: Package http 2.5.2 requires Tcl 8.4, so the
+ * win/Makefile.in: *.tm installation has to be placed in an "8.4"
+ directory, not an "8.2" directory.
+
+2006-03-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Revised handling of TCL_EVAL_* flags to

+ the auto-loading of alias targets (parse-8.12). [Bug 1444291]
+
+2006-03-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclPathObj.c: Revised yesterday's fix for [Bug 1379287] to
+ work on Windows.
+
+ * generic/tclObj.c: Compatibility support for existing code that
+ calls Tcl_GetObjType("boolean").
+
+2006-03-02 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclPathObj.c: Fix for failed normalization of paths
+ * tests/fileSystem.test: with /../ that lead back to the root
+ of the filesystem, like /foo/.. [Bug 1379287]
+
+2006-03-01 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
+
+ * unix/installManPage: Fix the script for manpages that have quotes
+ around the .SH arguments, as doctools produces them. [Bug 1292145]
+ Some minor cleanups and improvements.
+
+2006-02-28 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Corrections to be sure that TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL
+ * tests/namespace.test: evaluations act the same as [uplevel #0]
+ * tests/parse.test: evaluations, even when execution traces or
+ * tests/trace.test: invocations of [::unknown] are present. [Bug
+ 1439836]
+
+2006-02-22 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Corrected a few bugs in how [namespace
+ * tests/namespace.test: unknown] interacts with TCL_EVAL_* flags.
+ [Patch 958222]
+
+2006-02-17 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIORChan.c: Revised error message generation and handling
+ * tests/ioCmd.test: of exceptional return codes in the channel
+ reflection layer. [Bug 1372348]
+
+2006-02-16 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIndexObj.c: Disallow the "ambiguous" error message
+ * tests/indexObj.test: when TCL_EXACT matching is requested.
+ * tests/ioCmd.test:
+
+2006-02-15 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c: Made several routines tolerant of

+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
+
+2006-02-09 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ TIP#215 IMPLEMENTATION
+
+ * doc/incr.n: Revised [incr] to auto-initialize when varName
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: argument is unset. [Patch 1413115]
+ * generic/tclVar.c:
+ * tests/compile.test:
+ * tests/incr-old.test:
+ * tests/incr.test:
+ * tests/set.test:
+
+ * tests/main.test (Tcl_Main-6.7): Improved robustness of
+ command auto-completion test. [Bug 1422736]
+
+2006-02-08 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>

+ * generic/tclBasic.c: TclGetEncodingFromObj
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c: -> Tcl_GetEncodingFromObj
+ * generic/tclEncoding.c:TclGetEncodingSearchPath
+ * generic/tclInt.decls: -> Tcl_GetEncodingSearchPath
+ * generic/tclInt.h: TclSetEncodingSearchPath

+
+2006-02-01 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclProc.c: minor improvements to [apply]
+ * tests/apply.test: new tests; apply-5.1 currently fails to indicate
+ missing work in error reporting
+
+2006-02-01 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ TIP#194 IMPLEMENTATION
+
+ * doc/apply.n: (New file) New command [apply]. [Patch 944803]

+
+2006-01-26 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel): Tidy up and comment the
+ mess to do with setting up serial channels. This (deliberately) breaks
+ a broken FreeBSD port, indicates what we're really doing, and reduces
+ the amount of conditional compilation sections for better maintenance.
+
+2006-01-25 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): Improved conditions on when
+ to update the FP rounding mode on FreeBSD, taken from FreeBSD port.
+
+2006-01-23 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>

+ * tests/string.test (string-12.21): Added test for [Bug 1410553] based
+ on original bug report.
+
+2006-01-23 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: fixed incorrect handling of internal rep in
+ Tcl_GetRange. Thanks to twylite and Peter Spjuth. [Bug 1410553]
+
+ * generic/tclProc.c: fixed args handling for precompiled bodies [Bug
+ 1412695]; thanks to Uwe Traum.
+
+2006-01-16 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
+
+ * generic/tclPipe.c (FileForRedirect): Prevent nameString from being
+ freed without having been initialized.
+ * tests/exec.test: Added a test for the above.
+
+2006-01-12 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclPathObj.c (Tcl_FSGetInternalRep): backported patch from
+ core-8-4-branch. A freed pointer has been overwritten causing all
+ sorts of coredumps.
+
+2006-01-12 Vince Darley <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: fix to sharing violation [Bug 1366227]
+
+2006-01-11 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Moved Tcl_LogCommandInfo from tclBasic.c to
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c: tclNamesp.c to get access to identifier with
+ * tests/error.test (error-7.0): file scope. Added check for traces on
+ ::errorInfo, and when present fall back to contruction of the stack
+ trace in the variable so that write trace notification timings are
+ compatible with earlier Tcl releases. This reduces, but does not
+ completely eliminate the ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** created by
+ the 2004-10-15 commit. [Bug 1397843]
+
+2006-01-10 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * unix/configure: add caching, use AC_CACHE_CHECK instead of
+ * unix/configure.in: AC_CACHE_VAL where possible, consistent message
+ * unix/tcl.m4: quoting, sync relevant tclconfig/tcl.m4 changes
+ and gratuitous formatting differences, fix SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES with
+ default argument, Darwin improvements to SC_LOAD_*CONFIG.
+
+2006-01-09 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceInscopeCmd): [namespace inscope]
+ * tests/namespace.test: commands were not reported by [info level].
+ [Bug 1400572]
+
+2006-01-09 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclTrace.c: Stop exporting the guts of the trace command;
+ nothing outside this file needs to see it. [Bug 971336]
+
+2006-01-05 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (TCL_CONFIG_SYSTEM): Factor out the code to determine
+ the operating system version number, as it was replicated in several
+ places.
+
+2006-01-04 David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>
+
+ * win/tclAppInit.c: WIN32 native console signal handler removed. This
+ was found to be interfering with TWAPI extension one. IMO, special
+ services such as signal handlers should best be done with extensions
+ to the core after discussions on c.l.t. about Roy Terry's tclsh
+ children of a real windows service shell.
