-	* 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>
-

-
-	* 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]

-
-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.

-2007-11-14  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): Ensure that we get our

-	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
-	[info] command that only handles [info exists].
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode:INST_EXIST_*): New
-	instructions to allow the testing of whether a variable exists.
-
-2007-11-14  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* tests/chanio.test: New file. This is essentially a duplicate of

-	notation.
-	* tests/io.test: Fixed typo in test description.
-
-2007-11-14  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/regc*.c: Eliminate multi-char collating element code
-	completely. Simplifies the code quite a bit. If people still want the
-	full code, it will remain on the 8.4 branch. [Bug 1831425]
-
-2007-11-13  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): clean up comments, only

-	(TclCompileSwitchCmd): simplify TclReToGlob usage.
-
-2007-11-14  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/regc*.c: #ifdef/comment out the code that deals with
-	multi-character collating elements, which have never been supported.
-	Cuts the memory consumption of the RE compiler. [Bug 1831425]
-
-2007-11-13  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd, TclCompileRegexpCmd):
-	Extend [switch] compiler to handle regular expressions as long as
-	things are not too complex. Fix [regexp] compiler so that non-trivial
-	literal regexps get fed to INST_REGEXP.
-
-	* doc/mathop.n: Clarify definitions of some operations.
-
-2007-11-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: the TCL_NO_STACK_CHECK was being incorrectly
-	undefined here; this should be set (or not) in the compile options, it
-	is used elsewhere and needs to be consistent.
-
-2007-11-13  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* unix/tcl.m4:		Added autoconf goo to detect and make use of

-
-2007-11-13  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c (TclpGetHostByName): The six-argument form of
-	getaddressbyname_r() uses the fifth argument to indicate whether the
-	lookup succeeded or not on at least one platform. [Bug 1618235]
-
-2007-11-13  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-

-	cheap no-op.
-
-2007-11-13  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (CreateSocketAddress): Rewrote to use the
-	thread-safe version of gethostbyname() by forward-porting the code
-	used in 8.4, and added rudimentary support for getaddrinfo() (not
-	enabled by default, as no autoconf-ery written). Part of fix for [Bug
-	1618235].
-
-2007-11-12  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* generic/tclGet.c (Tcl_Get, Tcl_GetInt): revert use of TclGet* macros

-
-	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclReToGlob): add more comments, set interp
-	result if specified on error.
-
-2007-11-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:		New macro TclResetResult, new iPtr
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:		flag bit INTERP_RESULT_UNCLEAN:
-	* generic/tclInt.h:		shortcut for Tcl_ResetResult for the
-	* generic/tclProc.c:		"normal" case: TCL_OK, no return

-	* generic/tclStubLib.c:		return at normal level. [Patch
-	* generic/tclUtil.c:		1830184]
-
-	THIS PATCH WAS REVERTED: initial (mis)measurements overstated the

-2007-11-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclResult.c (ResetObjResult): clarify the logic.
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:		Increased usage of macros to detect

-	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Restore simpler behaviour for stack checking, not

-	is that "nobody does that", and so it is not worth the cost. Improved
-	failure comments (mistachkin).
-
-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.

-	* generic/tclBasic.c:
-	* generic/tclInt.h:
-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:
-	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
-	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Modify the stack checking algorithm to recheck in
-	case of failure. The working assumptions are now that (a) a thread's
-	stack is never moved, and (b) a thread's stack can grow but not
-	shrink. Port to windows - could be more efficient, but is already
-	cheaper than it was.

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

-2007-11-09  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>

-
-2007-11-06  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Version of the embedded iso8859-1 encoding
-	handler that is faster (functions to do the encoding know exactly what
-	they're doing instead of pulling it from a table, though the table
-	itself has to be retained for use by shift encodings that depend on
-	iso8859-1). [Patch 1826906], committing for dkf.
-
-2007-11-05  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* generic/tclConfig.c (Tcl_RegisterConfig): Modified to not extend the
-	config database if the encoding provided by the user is not found
-	(venc == NULL). Scripts expecting the data will error out, however we
-	neither crash nor provide bogus information. See [Bug 983509] for more
-	discussion.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyGetOptionProc): Accepted [Patch 1823576]
-	provided by Stuart Cassof <stwo@users.sourceforge.net>. The patch adds
-	the necessary utf/external conversions to the handling of the

-
-2007-10-28  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclInitEncodingSubsystem): Hard code the
-	iso8859-1 encoding, as it's needed for more than just text (especially
-	binary encodings...) Note that other encodings rely on the encoding
-	being a table encoding (!) so we can't use more efficient encoding

-
-2007-10-27  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-

-
-2007-09-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclDTrace.d (new file): Add DTrace provider for Tcl; allows
-	* generic/tclCompile.h:		  tracing of proc and command entry &
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:		  return, bytecode execution, object
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:		  allocation and more; with

-2007-09-12  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* win/makefile.vc, win/rules.vc, win/nmakehlp.c: Use nmakehlp to
-	substitute values for tclConfig.sh (helps cross-compiling).
-
-2007-09-11  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Accept underscores and colons in
-	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: constraint names. Properly handle

-
-2007-09-11  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-

-
-2007-09-10  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>

-2007-09-10  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* doc/package.n:	Restored the document parallel syntax of the
-	* generic/tclPkg.c:	[package present] and [package require]
-	* tests/pkg.test:	commands. [Bug 1723675]
-
-2007-09-09  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	Removed the "nsName" Tcl_ObjType from the
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	registered set. Revised the management of the
-	* generic/tclObj.c:	intrep of that Tcl_ObjType. Revised the
-	* tests/obj.test:	TclGetNamespaceFromObj() routine to return
-	TCL_ERROR and write a consistent error message when a namespace is not
-	found. [Bug 1588842. Patch 1686862]
-
-	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
-	For callers of Tcl_GetObjType() on the name "nsName".
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: Update TclGetNamespaceFromObj() callers.
-	* generic/tclProc.c:
-
-	* tests/apply.test:		Updated tests to expect new consistent
-	* tests/namespace-old.test:	error message when a namespace is not
-	* tests/namespace.test:		found.
-	* tests/upvar.test:
-
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:	Use the new INST_REVERSE instruction
-	* tests/mathop.test:	to correct the compiled versions of math
-	operator commands. [Bug 1724437]
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c: New bytecode instruction INST_REVERSE to
-	* generic/tclCompile.h: reverse the order of N items at the top of
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: stack.
-
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompilePowOpCmd):	Make a separate
-	routine to compile ** to account for its different associativity.
-
-2007-09-08  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_SetVar2, TclPtrSetVar): [Bug 1710710] fixed
-	correctly, reverted fix of 2007-05-01.
-
-2007-09-08  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictUpdateCmd, DictWithCmd): Plug a hole that
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC,INST_DICT_UPDATE_END): allowed a careful
-	* tests/dict.test (dict-21.16,21.17,22.11): attacker to craft a dict
-	containing a recursive link to itself, violating one of Tcl's
-	fundamental datatype assumptions and causing a stack crash when the
-	dict was converted to a string. [Bug 1786481]
-
-2007-09-07  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclEvent.c ([::tcl::Bgerror]):	Corrections to Tcl's
-	* tests/event.test:	default [interp bgerror] handler so that when
-	it falls back to a hidden [bgerror] in a safe interp, it gets the
-	right error context data. [Bug 1790274]
-
-2007-09-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclProc.c (TclInitCompiledLocals): the refCount of resolved
-	variables was being managed without checking if they were Var or
-	VarInHash: itcl [Bug 1790184]
-
-2007-09-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_GetReturnOptions):	Take care that a
-	* tests/init.test:	non-TCL_ERROR code doesn't cause existing
-	-errorinfo, -errorcode, and -errorline entries to be omitted.
-	* generic/tclEvent.c:	With -errorInfo no longer lost, generate more
-	complete ::errorInfo when calling [bgerror] after a non-TCL_ERROR
-	background exception.
-
-2007-09-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_Init):	Removed constraint on ability
-	to define a custom [tclInit] before calling Tcl_Init(). Until now the
-	custom command had to be a proc. Now it can be any command.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.decls: New internal routine TclBackgroundException()
-	* generic/tclEvent.c:	that for the first time permits non-TCL_ERROR
-	exceptions to trigger [interp bgerror] handling. Closes a gap in TIP
-	221. When falling back to [bgerror] (which is designed only to handle
-	TCL_ERROR), convert exceptions into errors complaining about the
-	exception.
-
-	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Convert Tcl_BackgroundError() callers to call
-	* generic/tclIO.c:	TclBackgroundException().
-	* generic/tclIOCmd.c:
-	* generic/tclTimer.c:
-
-	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:	make genstubs
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
-
-2007-09-06  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* macosx/Tcl.xcode/project.pbxproj: discontinue unmaintained support
-	* macosx/Tcl.xcode/default.pbxuser: for Xcode 1.5; replace by Xcode2
-	project for use on Tiger (with Tcl.xcodeproj to be used on Leopard).
-
-	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: updates for Xcode 2.5 and 3.0.
-	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/default.pbxuser:
-	* macosx/Tcl.xcode/project.pbxproj:
-	* macosx/Tcl.xcode/default.pbxuser:
-	* macosx/Tcl-Common.xcconfig:
-
-	* macosx/README: document project changes.
-
-2007-09-05  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Removed support for the unmaintained
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: -DTCL_GENERIC_ONLY configuration. [Bug
-	* unix/Makefile.in:	1264623]
-
-2007-09-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* unix/Makefile.in:	It's unreliable to count on the release
-	manager to remember to `make genstubs` before `make dist`. Let the
-	Makefile remember the dependency for us.
-
-	* unix/Makefile.in:	Corrections to `make dist` dependencies to be
-	sure that macosx/configure gets generated whenever it does not exist.

-	caused this call to return an empty object rather than an error.
-
-2007-09-03  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclObj.c (TclInitObjSubsystem): restore registration of the

-	access the tclWideIntType Tcl_ObjType; add setFromAnyProc for
-	tclWideIntType.
-
-2007-09-02  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* doc/lsearch.n: Added note that order of results with the -all option
-	is that of the input list. It always was, but this makes it crystal.
-
-2007-08-30  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c: Added fflush() calls following all callers of

-	output is less likely to get mangled when writes to stdout interleave
-	with other code.
-
-2007-08-28  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Use a table lookup in ParseLexeme() to

-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Used unions to better clarify overloading of
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	the fields of the OpCmdInfo and
-	* generic/tclCompile.h:		TclOpCmdClientData structs.
-
-2007-08-27  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Call TclCompileSyntaxError() when
-	expression syntax errors are found when compiling expressions. With
-	this in place, convert TclCompileExpr to return void, since there's no
-	longer any need to report TCL_ERROR.
-	* generic/tclCompile.c: Update callers.
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:
-
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:	New routine TclCompileSyntaxError()
-	* generic/tclCompile.h: to directly compile bytecodes that report a
-	* generic/tclCompile.c: syntax error, rather than (ab)use a call to
-	TclCompileReturnCmd. Also, undo the most recent commit that papered
-	over some issues with that (ab)use. New routine produces a new opcode
-	INST_SYNTAX, which is a minor variation of INST_RETURN_IMM. Also a bit
-	of constification.
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c: Move the deallocation of local LiteralTable
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	entries into TclFreeCompileEnv().
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: Update callers.
-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Force numeric and boolean literals in
-	expressions to register with their intreps intact, even if that means
-	overwriting existing intreps in already registered literals.
-
-2007-08-25  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Added code to handle
-	* tests/expr.test (expr-23.48-53)	     integer exponentiation
-	that results in 32- and 64-bit integer results, avoiding calls to wide
-	integer exponentiation routines in this common case. [Bug 1767293]
-
-	* library/clock.tcl (ParseClockScanFormat): Modified code to allow
-	* tests/clock.test (clock-60.*):	    case-insensitive matching
-	of time zone and month names. [Bug 1781282]
-
-2007-08-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-2007-08-23  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* library/init.tcl ([auto_load_index]): Delete stray "]" that created

-
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd):	Added crash protection
-	to handle callers other than TclCompileScript() failing to meet the
-	initialization assumptions of the TIP 280 code in CompileWord().
-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Suppress the attempt to convert to
-	numeric when pre-compiling a constant expresion indicates an error.
-
-2007-08-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

-
-2007-08-21  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* tests/thread.test: thread-4.4: clear ::errorInfo in the thread as a

-
-2007-08-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_SUB): fix usage of the new macro for
-	overflow detection in sums, adapt to subtraction. Lengthy comment
-	added.
-
-2007-08-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (Overflowing, TclIncrObj, TclExecuteByteCode):
-	Encapsulate Miguel's last change in a more mnemonic macro.
-
-2007-08-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: changed the check for overflow in sums,
-	reducing objsize, number of branches and cache misses (according to
-	cachegrind). Non-overflow for s=a+b:
-	previous
-	  ((a >= 0 || b >= 0 || s < 0) && (s >= 0 || b < 0 || a < 0))
-	now
-	  (((a^s) >= 0) || ((a^b) < 0))

-	different sign".

-
-2007-08-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclVar.c: improved localVarNameType caching to leverage
-	the new availability of Tcl_Obj in variable names, avoiding string
-	comparisons to verify that the cached value is usable.
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: check the two most frequent instructions
-	before the switch. Reduces both runtime and obj size a tiny bit.
-
-2007-08-16  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Added a "constant" field to the OpNode

-	CompileExprTree() and its callers to precompute these constant
-	subexpressions at compile time. This resolves the issue raised in [Bug

-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Revise CompileExprTree() to use the
-	OpNode mark field scheme of tree traversal. This eliminates the need
-	to use magic values in the left and right fields for that purpose.
-	Also stop abusing the left field within ParseExpr() to store the

-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Added a "mark" field to the OpNode
-	struct, which is used to guide tree traversal. This field costs
-	nothing since alignement requirements used the memory already.
-	Rewrote ConvertTreeToTokens() to use the new field, which permitted
-	consolidation of utility routines CopyTokens() and

-
-	*** 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.

-	Removed the need for TEBC to inspect the command before calling TEOvI,
-	leveraging the TIP 280 infrastructure. Moved the generation of a
-	correct nul-terminated command string away from the trace code, back
-	into TEOvI/GetCommandSource.

-2007-07-20  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* library/platform/platform.tcl: Fixed bug in 'platform::patterns'
-	* library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: where identifiers not matching
-	* unix/Makefile.in: the special linux and solaris forms would not
-	* win/Makefile.in: get 'tcl' as an acceptable platform added to
-	* doc/platform.n: the result. Bumped package to version 1.0.3 and
-	* doc/platform_shell.n: updated documentation and Makefiles. Also
-	fixed bad version info in the documentation of platform::shell.
-
-2007-07-19  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclParse.c:	In contexts where interp and parsePtr->interp
-	might be different, be sure to use the latter for error reporting.
-	Also pulled the interp argument back out of ParseTokens() since we
-	already had a parsePtr->interp to work with.
-
-2007-07-18  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Removed unused arguments and variables
-
-2007-07-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (ParseExpr):	While adding comments to
-	explain the operations of ParseExpr(), made significant revisions to
-	the code so it would be easier to explain, and in the process made the
-	code simpler and clearer as well.
-
-2007-07-15  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	More commentary.
-	* tests/parseExpr.test:		Several tests of syntax error messages

-	visible the context relevant to the reported error.
-
-2007-07-12  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Factored out, corrected, and commented
-	common code for reporting syntax errors in LEAF elements.

-2007-07-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileWhileCmd):
-	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript):
-	Corrected faulty avoidance of INST_START_CMD when the first opcode in
-	a script is within a loop (as produced by 'while 1'), so that the
-	corresponding command is properly counted. [Bug 1752146]
-
-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]
-
-2007-07-05  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-

-
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c: Fix case where a FQ cmd or ns was being cached

-
-2007-07-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Revised #define values so that there
-	is now more expansion room to define more BINARY operators.
-
-2007-07-02  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclHash.c (CompareStringKeys): Always use the strcmp()
-	version; the operation is functionally equivalent, the speed is
-	identical (up to measurement limitations), and yet the code is
-	simpler. [FRQ 951168]
-
-2007-07-02  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tcl.h:	Removed TCL_PRESERVE_BINARY_COMPATIBILITY and
-	* generic/tclHash.c:	any code enabled when it is set to 0. We will
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c:	always want to preserve binary compat
-	of the structs that appear in the interface through the 8.* series of
-	releases, so it's pointless to drag around this never-enabled
-	alternative.
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c:	Removed dead code.
-	* unix/tclUnixChan.c:
-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Removed dead code, old implementations
-	* generic/tclEvent.c:	of expr parsing and compiling, including the
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	routine TclFinalizeCompilation().
-
-2007-06-30  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

-
-2007-06-29  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-

-
-2007-06-29  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclAlloc.c:		on Darwin, ensure memory allocated by
-	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c:	the custom TclpAlloc()s is aligned to

-
-	* generic/tclGetDate.y: use ckalloc/ckfree instead of malloc/free.

-	streamlining.
-
-2007-06-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclVar.c (TclDeleteCompiledLocalVars): removed inlining that
-	ended up not really optimising (limited benchmarks). Now calling
-	UnsetVarStruct (streamlined old code is #ifdef'ed out, in case better
-	benchmarks do show a difference).
-
-	* generic/tclVar.c (UnsetVarStruct): fixed a leak introduced in last
-	commit.
-
-2007-06-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclVar.c (UnsetVarStruct, TclDeleteVars): made the logic

-
-	*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** (tclInt.h and Var struct users)
-	The core never builds VAR_LINK variable to have traces. Such a

-	* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProcCore): Use switch instead of a
-	chain of if's for a modest performance gain and a little more clarity.
-
-2007-06-15  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:  Simplified [variable] compiler and executor.
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:	  Missed updates to "there is always a valid
-	frame".
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c: reverted TclEvalObjvInternal and INST_INVOKE
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: to essentially what they were previous to the
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	commit of 2007-04-03 [Patch 1693802] and the
-	subsequent optimisations, as they break the new trace tests described
-	below.
-
-	* generic/trace.test: added tests 36 to 38 for dynamic trace creation
-	and addition. These tests expose a change in dynamics due to a recent
-	round of optimisations. The "correct" behaviour is not described in
-	docs nor TIP 62.
-
-2007-06-14  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclInt.decls:	  Modif to the internals of TclObjInterpProc
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	  to reduce stack consumption and improve task
-	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:  separation. Changes the interface of
-	* generic/tclProc.c:	  TclObjInterpProcCore (patching TclOO
-	simultaneously).
-
-	* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProcCore): simplified obj management
-	in wrongNumArgs calls.
-
-2007-06-14  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c: SetByteCodeFromAny() can no longer return any
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: code other than TCL_OK, so remove code that
-	* generic/tclProc.c:	formerly handled exceptional codes.
-
-2007-06-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj): missed update to "there is
-	always a valid frame".
-
-	* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInterpProcCore): call TEBC directly instead
-	of going through TclCompEvalObj - no need to check the compilation's
-	freshness, this has already been done. This improves speed and should
-	also provide some relief to [Bug 1066755].
-
-2007-06-12  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Turn the [info] command into
-	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (TclInitInfoCmd):	 an ensemble, making it easier
-	for third-party code to plug into.
-
-	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs):
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c, generic/tclInt.h (tclEnsembleCmdType): Make
-	Tcl_WrongNumArgs do replacement correctly with ensembles and other
-	sorts of complex replacement strategies.
-
-2007-06-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:	 comments added to explain iPtr->numLevels
-	management.
-
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	 tweaks to Tcl_GetCommandFromObj and
-	* generic/tclObj.c:	 TclGetNamespaceFromObj; modified the usage of
-	structs ResolvedCmdName and ResolvedNsname so that the field refNsPtr
-	is NULL for fully qualified names.
-
-2007-06-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	 Further TEOvI split, creating a new
-	* generic/tclCompile.h:	 TclEvalObjvKnownCommand() function to handle
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:	 commands that are already known and are not
-	traced. INST_INVOKE now calls into this function instead of inlining
-	parts of TEOvI. Same perf, better isolation.
-
-	***POTENTIAL INCOMPAT*** There is a subtle issue with the timing of
-	execution traces that is changed here - first change appeared in my
-	commit of 2007-04-03 [Patch 1693802], which caused some divergence
-	between compiled and non-compiled code.
-	***THIS CHANGE IS UNDER REVIEW***
-

-
-	* README: updated links. [Bug 1715081]
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): restore support for
-	INST_CALL_BUILTIN_FUNC1 and INST_CALL_FUNC1 bytecodes to support 8.4-
-	precompiled sources (math functions). [Bug 1720895]

-
-	* generic/tclInt.h:
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
-	* generic/tclObj.c:
-	* generic/tclvar.c: new macros TclGetCurrentNamespace() and
-	TclGetGlobalNamespace(); Tcl_GetCommandFromObj and
-	TclGetNamespaceFromObj rewritten to make the logic clearer; slightly
-	faster too.
-
-2007-06-09  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_INVOKE): isolated two vars to the small
-	block where they are actually used.
-
-	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetCommandFromObj): rewritten to make the
-	logic clearer; slightly faster too.
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Split TEOv in two, by separating a processor
-	for non-TCL_OK returns. Also split TEOvI in a full version that
-	handles non-existing and traced commands, and a separate shorter
-	version for the regular case.
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Moved the generation of command strings for
-	* generic/tclTrace.c:	traces: previously in Tcl_EvalObjv(), now in
-	TclCheck[Interp|Execution]Traces(). Also insured that the strings are
-	properly NUL terminated at the correct length. [Bug 1693986]
-
-	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY in internal API***
-	The functions TclCheckInterpTraces() and TclCheckExecutionTraces() (in
-	internal stubs) used to be noops if the command string was NULL, this
-	is not true anymore: if the command string is NULL, they generate an
-	appropriate string from (objc,objv) and use it to call the traces. The
-	caller might as well not call them with a NULL string if he was
-	expecting a noop.
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Extend usage of TclLimitReady() and
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: (new) TclLimitExceeded() macros.
-	* generic/tclInt.h:
-	* generic/tclInterp.c:
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	New TclCleanupCommandMacro for core usage.

-
-2007-06-08  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Changed [string first] and

-	follows suggestions on comp.lang.tcl...

-2007-05-30  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Removed code that dealt with
-	* generic/tclCompile.c: TCL_TOKEN_EXPAND_WORD tokens representing
-	* generic/tclCompile.h: expanded literal words. These sections were
-	mostly in place to enable [info frame] to discover line information in
-	expanded literals. Since the parser now generates a token for each
-	post-expansion word referring to the right location in the original
-	script string, [info frame] gets all the data it needs.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	Revised the parser so that it never produces
-	* generic/tclParse.c:	TCL_TOKEN_EXPAND_WORD tokens when parsing an
-	* tests/parse.test:	expanded literal word; that is, something like
-	{*}{x y z}. Instead, generate the series of TCL_TOKEN_SIMPLE_WORD
-	tokens to represent the words that expansion of the literal string
-	produces. [RFE 1725186]

-	* tests/encoding.test: Modified so that encoding tests happen in a

-	with a string of more than 'maxpow10_wide' zeroes.
-	* generic/tclTest.c (Testregexpobjcmd): Removed an invalid access
-	beyond the end of 'objv' in 'testregexp -about'.
-	All of these issues reported under [Bug 1705778] - detected with the
-	existing test suite, no new regression tests required.

-2007-04-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclVar.c (TclDeleteNamespaceVars): fixed access to freed

-	Clarified that [clock scan] does not recognize a locale's alternative
-	calendar.
-	Deleted an entirely superfluous (and also incorrect) remark about the
-	effect of Daylight Saving Time on relative times in [clock scan]. [Bug
-	1582951]
-	* library/clock.tcl: Corrected an error in skipping over the %Ey field
-	on input.
-	* library/msgs/ja.msg:
-	* tools/loadICU.tcl: Corrected several localisation faults in the
-	Japanese locale (most notably, incorrect dates for the Emperors'
-	eras). Many thanks to SourceForge user 'nyademo' for pointing this out
-	and developing a fix. [Bug 1637471]
-	* generic/tclPathObj.c: Corrected a 'const'ness fault that caused
-	bitter complaints from MSVC.
-	* tests/clock.test (clock-40.1, clock-58.1, clock-59.1): Corrected a
-	test case that depended on ":localtime" being able to handle dates
-	prior to the Posix epoch. [Bug 1618445] Added a test case for the
-	dates of the Japanese emperors. [Bug 1637471] Added a regression test
-	for military time zone input conversion. [Bug 1586828]
-	* generic/tclGetDate.y (MilitaryTable): Fixed an ancient bug where the
-	military NZA time zones had the signs reversed. [Bug 1586828]
-	* generic/tclDate.c: Regenerated.
-	* doc/Notifier.3: Documented Tcl_SetNotifier and Tcl_ServiceModeHook.

-	compiler.
-
-2007-04-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_LSHIFT): fixed a mistake introduced in
-	version 1.266 ('=' became '=='), which effectively turned the block
-	that handles native shifts into dead code. This explains why the
-	testsuite did not pick this mistake. Rewrote to make the intention
-	clear.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h (TclDecrRefCount): change the order of the
-	branches, use empty 'if ; else' to handle use in unbraced outer
-	if/else conditions (as already done in tcl.h)

-	* generic/tclExecute.c: slight changes in Tcl_Obj management.
-
-2007-04-17  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

-	cleanupV_pushObjResultPtr).
-
-2007-04-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: moved all exceptDepth management to the
-	macros - the decreasing half was managed by hand.
-
-2007-04-10  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h (TclNewLiteralStringObj): New macro to make
-	allocating literal string objects (i.e. objects whose value is a
-	constant string) easier and more efficient, by allowing the omission
-	of the length argument. Based on [Patch 1529526] (afredd)
-	* generic/*.c: Make use of this (in many files).
-
-2007-04-08  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

-
-2007-04-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-
-	* 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
-	location. This makes the interpreter command counter correct without
-	requiring a large number of instructions to be issued. (See my change
-	from 2007-01-19 for what triggered this.)
-
-2007-03-30  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c:
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:	Replace arrays on the C stack and

-	return path.
-
-2007-03-28  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (STR_REVERSE):	Implement the actual [string
-	reverse] command in terms of the new TclStringObjReverse() routine.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h (TclStringObjReverse):	New internal routine
-	* generic/tclStringObj.c (TclStringObjReverse): that implements the
-	[string reverse] operation, making use of knowledge/surgery of the

-	the job.
-
-2007-03-27  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (STR_MAP): Replace ckalloc calls with
-	TclStackAlloc calls.
-
-2007-03-24  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Thread exit handler marks the current thread as
-	un-initialized. This allows exit handlers that are registered later to
-	re-initialize this subsystem in case they need to use some sync
-	primitives (cond variables) from this file again.
-
-2007-03-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-

-
-2007-03-22  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ForeachObjCmd):	Replaced arrays on the
-	C stack and ckalloc calls with TclStackAlloc calls to use memory on
-	Tcl's evaluation stack.
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: Revised GrowEvaluationStack to take an
-	argument specifying the growth required by the caller, so that a
-	single reallocation / copy is the most that will ever be needed even
-	when required growth is large.
-
-2007-03-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-
-2007-03-15  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

-
-	* generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors):	Make efficient private copy

-	* tests/clock.test (clock-56.3): Added a test case for Y2038 and
-	'zoneinfo'. Modified test initialisation to use the
-	'loadTestedCommands' function of tcltest to bring in the correct path
-	for the registry library.
-
-2007-03-08  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclListObj.c (TclLsetList):	Rewrite so that the routine
-	itself does not do any direct intrep surgery. Better isolates those
-	things into the implementation of the "list" Tcl_ObjType.
-
-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

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

-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (Print*Info):	      out for debugging. For
-	this to work, immediate operands referring to aux-data must be
-	identified as such in the instruction descriptor table using
-	OPERAND_AUX4 (all are always 4 bytes).
-

-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Now that the new internal structs are
-	in use to support operator commands, might as well make them the
-	default for [expr] as well and avoid passing every parsed expression

-	removed.
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Final step routing all direct evaluation forms

-2006-12-08  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	 Another step down the path of re-using
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c: TclExecuteByteCode to implement the TIP 174
-	* generic/tclCompile.h: commands instead of using a mass of code
-	* generic/tclMathOp.c:	duplication. Now all operator commands that

-	via TclSingleOpCmd and a call to TEBC.
-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c: Revised implementation of TclInvertOpCmd to

-	This demonstrates a path toward avoiding mountains of code duplication
-	in tclMathOp.c and tclExecute.c.

-
-2006-11-01  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

-	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-42.7,namespace-47.1): Reverted

-
-	* generic/tclProc.c (ObjInterpProcEx, TclObjInterpProcCore): Split the

-	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

-
-	* generic/tclInt.h (CallFrame): Add a field for handling context data

-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand): Change to take CONST args;

-
-	* generic/tclProc.c (ObjInterpProcEx): disable itcl hacks for calls

-
-2006-10-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclProc.c (ApplyObjCmd): fix wrong#args for apply by using
-	the ensemble rewrite engine. [Bug 1574835]
-	* generic/tclInterp.c (AliasObjCmd): previous commit missed usage of
-	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).

-	* changes:	Updates for 8.5a5 release.
-
-	* generic/tclNamespace.c (TclTeardownNamespace):  After the
-	commandPathSourceList of a namespace is cleared, set the

-2006-10-09  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

-	* doc/UpVar.3: brough the docs in accordance to the code. Ever since
-	8.0, Tcl_UpVar(2)? accepts TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY as a flag value, and
-	var-3.4 tests for proper behaviour. The docs only allowed 0 and
-	TCL_GLOBAL_ONLY. [Bug 1574099]

-2006-09-28  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* generic/tclPkg.c (CompareVersions): Bugfix. Check string lengths
-	* tests/pkg.test: before comparison. The shorter string is the smaller
-	number. Added testcases as well. Interestingly all existing test cases
-	for vcompare compared numbers of the same length with each other. [Bug
-	1563836]
-
-2006-09-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetsObj): added two test'n'panic guards for

-
-2006-09-27  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: Corrected error in INST_LSHIFT in the
-	* tests/expr.test:	calculation done to determine whether a shift
-	in the (long int) type is possible. The calculation had literal value
-	"1" where it needed a value "1L" to compute the correct result. Error
-	detected via testing with the math::bigfloat package [Bug 1567222]
-
-	* generic/tclPkg.c (CompareVersion):	Flatten strcmp() results to
-	{-1, 0, 1} to match expectations of CompareVersion() callers.
-
-2006-09-27  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* 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

-2006-09-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tcl.h:	As 2006-09-22 commit from Donal K. Fellows
-	demonstrates, "#define NULL 0" is just wrong, and as a quotable chat
-	figure observed, "If NULL isn't defined, we're not using a C compiler"
-	Improper fallback definition of NULL removed.
-
-2006-09-25  Pat Thoyts	<patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tcl.h:	More fixing which struct stat to refer to.
-	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Some casts from time_t to int required.
-	* generic/tclTimer.c:	Tcl_Time structure members are longs.
-	* win/makefile.vc:	Support for varying compiler options
-	* win/rules.vc:		and build to platform-specific subdirs.
-
-2006-09-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_StackChannel): Fixed [Bug 1564642], aka

-	event queue memory is managed correctly.
-
-2006-09-25  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclNotify.c (Tcl_DeleteEvents): Make it clear what happens

-
-2006-09-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseCommand): also return an error if

-
-	* generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_SIZE): fix allocation for 0-length
-	strings. This is coverity's bugs #54-5
-
-2006-09-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

-
-	* tests/expr-old.test:	The remaining failing tests reported in

-
-	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): on 64-bit Darwin,
-	pthread_cond_timedwait() appears to have a bug that causes it to wait

-	* 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.
-	* tools/makeTestCases.tcl: Added code to make sure that %U and %V
-	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
-	Common Era.

-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.

-2006-07-13  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: Added the inclusion of <AvailabilityMacros.h>.
-	The missing header caused the upcoming #if conditions to wrongly

-
-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
-	characters and their numeric interpretations following user prompting.
-
-2006-06-13  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* unix/tclLoadDl.c (TclpDlopen): Workaround for a compiler bug in Sun
-	Forte 6. [Bug 1503729]
-
-2006-06-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* doc/GetStdChan.3:	Added recommendation that each call to
-	Tcl_SetStdChannel() be accompanied by a call to Tcl_RegisterChannel().
-
-2006-06-05  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* doc/Alloc.3: Added documentation of promise that Tcl_Realloc(NULL,x)
-	is the same as Tcl_Alloc(x), as discussed in comp.lang.tcl. Also fixed
-	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]
-
-	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
-	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59

-	awk; it was a rarely used branch, but it was wrong. [Bug 1494160]
-
-2006-05-23  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* doc/chan.n, doc/refchan.n: Tighten up the documentation to follow a
-	slightly more consistent style with regard to argument capitalization.
-
-2006-05-13  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclProc.c (ProcCompileProc): When a bump of the compile
-	epoch forces the re-compile of a proc body, take care not to overwrite
-	any Proc struct that may be referred to on the active call stack. Note
-	that the fix will not be effective for code that calls the private
-	routine TclProcCompileProc() directly. [Bug 1482718]
-
-2006-05-13  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors): fix leak. [Coverity issue 86]

-
-	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main):		Corrected flaw that required
-	* tests/main.test: (Tcl_Main-4.5):	processing of one interactive
-	command before passing control to the loop routine registered with
-	Tcl_SetMainLoop(). [Bug 1481986]

-	readiness for reinitialization.
-
-2006-04-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):	It seems there
-	* tests/indexObj.test:	are extensions that rely on the prior behavior
-	* doc/GetIndex.3:	that the empty string cannot succeed as a
-	unique prefix matcher, so I'm restoring Donal Fellows's solution.
-	Added mention of this detail to the documentation. [Bug 1464039]

-
-	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): Allow empty

-	same manner as any other key. [Bug 1464039]
-
-2006-04-03  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Added check, panic and commentary to a
-	piece of code which relies on BUFFER_PADDING to create enough space at
-	the beginning of each buffer for the insertion of partial multibyte
-	data at the beginning of a buffer. Commentary explains why this code
-	is OK, and the panic is as a precaution if someone twiddled the
-	BUFFER_PADDING into uselessness.
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Temporarily suppress the use of
-	TCL_ENCODING_END set when EOF was reached while the buffer we are
-	converting is not truly the last buffer in the queue. Together with
-	the Utf bug below it was possible to completely wreck the buffer data
-	structures, eventually crashing Tcl. [Bug 1462248]
-
-	* generic/tclEncoding.c (UtfToUtfProc): Stop accessing memory beyond
-	the end of the input buffer when TCL_ENCODING_END is set and the last
-	bytes of the buffer start a multi-byte sequence. This bug contributed
-	to [Bug 1462248].
-
-2006-03-30  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

-2006-03-27  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* doc/CrtChannel.3:    Added TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_5, made it the
-	* generic/tcl.h:       version where the "truncateProc" is defined at,

-2006-03-27  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: Merge INST_MOD computation in with the
-	INST_?SHIFT instructions, which also operate only on two integral
-	values. Also corrected flaw that made INST_BITNOT of wide values
-	require mp_int calculations. Also corrected type that missed optimized
-	handling of the tclBooleanType by the TclGetBooleanFromObj macro.
-
-	* changes:	Updates for another RC.
-
-2006-03-25  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-
-2006-03-24  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Added a couple of missing
-	casts to 'int' that were affecting compilablity on VC6.
-
-2006-03-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Reverted latest change [Bug 506653] since it
-	reportedly killed test performance on Windows.
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: Revised INST_EXPON implementation to do
-	calculations in native types as much as possible, moving to mp_ints
-	only when necessary.
-
-2006-03-23  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: Merged INST_EXPON handling in with the other
-	binary operators that operate on all number types (INST_ADD, etc.).
-
-	* tests/env.test: With case preserved (see 2006-03-21 commit) be sure
-	to do case-insensitive filtering. [Bug 1457065]
-
-2006-03-23  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
-
-	* unix/tcl.spec: Cleaned up and completed the spec file. An RPM can

-	<tarball>"
-
-2006-03-22  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>
-
-	* tests/stack.test: Run the stack tests in subshells, so that they are

-
-	* changes:	Updates for another RC.

-	* generic/tclInt.decls:	 implement globbing for HFS creator & type
-	* macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c:codes and 'hidden' flag, as documented in
-	* tests/macOSXFCmd.test: glob.n; objectified OSType handling in [glob]

-	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c: make genstubs
-
-2006-03-20  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Generate tcl8/8.4 directory
-	under Windows as well (cygwin Makefile). Related entry: 2006-03-07,
-	dgp. This moved the installation of http from 8.2 to 8.4, partially. A
-	fix of the required directory creation was done for unix on Mar 10,
-	without entry in the Changelog. This entry is for the fix of the
-	directory creation under Windows.
-
-	* unix/installManPage: There is always one even more broken "sed".
-	Moved the # comment starting character in the sed script to the
-	beginning of their respective lines. The AIX sed will not recognize
-	them as comments otherwise :( The actual text stays indented for
-	better association with the commands they belong to.
-
-2006-03-20  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* tests/cmdAH.test, tests/fCmd.test, tests/unixFCmd.test:

-	few other minor issues.
-
-2006-03-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclFileName.c:
-	* doc/FileSystem.3:
-	* tests/fileName.test: Fix to [Bug 1084705] so that 'glob -nocomplain'
-	finally agrees with its documentation and doesn't swallow genuine
-	errors.
-
-	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for scripts that assumed '-nocomplain'
-	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).

-
-	* 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

-	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

-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>

-
-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

-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>

-
-	* changes:	Update in prep. for 8.5a4 release.

-2006-02-28  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Corrections to be sure that TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL

-
-2006-02-15  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
-
-2006-02-09  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-

-
-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.
