-	bignums for all non-trivial ** calculations until
-	native-type-constrained special cases can be done carefully and
-	correctly.  [Bug 1561260].

-	and gethostbyaddr() if the implementation is known to be
-	MT-safe (currently for Darwin 6 or later only).
-
-	* unix/configure.in: Assume gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr()

-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Removed much complexity that is
-	no longer needed.
-
-	* tests/main.text (Tcl_Main-4.4):	Test corrected to not be
-	timing sensitive to the Bug 1481986 fix. [Bug 1550858]
-
-2006-09-04  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* doc/package.n: correct package example
-
-2006-08-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Corrected flawed logic for
-	disabling the INST_TRY_CVT_TO_NUMERIC instruction at the end
-	of an expression when function arguments contain operators.
-	[Bug 1541274]
-
-	* tests/expr-old.test:	The remaining failing tests reported in
-	* tests/expr.test:	[Bug 1381715] are all new in Tcl 8.5, so
-	there's really no issue of compatibility with Tcl 8.4 result to
-	deal with.  Fixed by updating tests to expect 8.5 results.
-
-2006-08-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Dropped the old expr parser.
-
-2006-08-30  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): init iPtr->threadId
-
-	* win/tclWinChan.c [Bug 819667] Improve logic for identifying COM
-	ports.
-
-	* generic/tclIOGT.c (ExecuteCallback): 
-	* generic/tclPkg.c (Tcl_PkgRequireEx): replace Tcl_GlobalEval(Obj)
-	with more efficient Tcl_Eval(Obj)Ex
-
-	* unix/Makefile.in (valgrindshell): add valgrindshell target and
-	update default VALGRINDARGS.  User can override, or add to it with
-	VALGRIND_OPTS env var.
-
-	* generic/tclFileName.c (DoGlob): match incrs with decrs.
-
-2006-08-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Use the "parent" field of
-	orphan ExprNodes to store the closure of left pointers.  This
-	lets us avoid repeated re-scanning leftward for the left
-	boundary of subexpressions, which in worst case led to near
-	O(N^2) runtime.
-
-2006-08-29  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
-
-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: Fixed the issue (typo) that was causing
-	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpThreadGetStackSize): stack.test to
-	fail on FreeBSD (and possibly other Unix platforms).
-
-2006-08-29  Colin McCormack  <coldstore@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:  Added test for NULL return 
-	* generic/tclPathObj.c: from Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath
-	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:   which was causing segv's per
-	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:     Bug 1548263
-	* win/tclWinFile.c:
-
-2006-08-28  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* library/tzdata/America/Havana:      Regenerated from Olson's
-	* library/tzdata/America/Tegucigalpa: tzdata2006k.
-	* library/tzdata/Asia/Gaza:
-	
-2006-08-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Revised ObjPrintfVA to take care
-	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	to copy only whole characters when
-	doing %s formatting.  This relieves callers of TclObjPrintf() and
-	TclFormatToErrorInfo() from needing to fix arguments to character
-	boundaries.  Tcl_ParseExpr() simplified by taking advantage.
-	[Bug 1547786]
-
-	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Corrected TclFormatObj's failure
-	to count up the number of arguments required by examining the
-	format string.  [Bug 1547681]
-
-2006-08-27  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>
-
-	* generic/tclClock.c (ClockClicksObjCmd): Fix nested macro breakage
-	with TCL_MEM_DEBUG enabled. [Bug 1547662]
-
-2006-08-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* doc/namespace.n:
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
-	* tests/upvar.test: bugfix, docs clarification and new tests for
-	[namespace upvar] as follow up to [Bug 1546833], reported by Will
-	Duquette. 
-
-2006-08-24  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* library/tzdata: Regenerated, including several new files,
-	from Olson's tzdata2006j.
-	* library/clock.tcl: 
-	* tests/clock.test: Removed an early testing hack that allowed
-	loading 'registry' from the build tree rather than an installed
-	one.  This is a workaround for [Bug 15232730], which remains open
-	because it's a symptom of a deeper underlying problem.
-
-2006-08-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Minimal collection of new tests
-	* tests/parseExpr.test:		testing the error messages of the
-	new expr parser.  Several bug fixes and code simplifications that
-	appeared during that effort.
-
-2006-08-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:	Revisions to complete the thread finalization
-	of the cwdPathPtr.  [Bug 1536142]
-
-	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Revised mistaken call to
-	TclCheckBadOctal(), so both [expr 08] and [expr 08z] have same
-	additional info in error message.
-
-	* tests/compExpr-old.test:	Update existing tests to not fail
-	* tests/compExpr.test:		with the new expr parser.
-	* tests/compile.test:
-	* tests/expr-old.test:
-	* tests/expr.test:
-	* tests/for.test:
-	* tests/if.test:
-	* tests/parseExpr.test:
-	* tests/while.test:
-
-2006-08-21  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* win/Makefile.in (gdb): Make this target work so that debugging an
-	msys build is possible.
-
-2006-08-21  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): if the run loop is
-	already running (e.g. if Tcl_WaitForEvent was called recursively),
-	re-run it in a custom run loop mode containing only the source for the
-	notifier thread, otherwise wakeups from other sources added to the
-	common run loop modes might get lost.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): on 64-bit Darwin,
-	pthread_cond_timedwait() appears to have a bug that causes it to wait
-	forever when passed an absolute time which has already been exceeded by
-	the system time; as a workaround, when given a very brief timeout, just
-	do a poll on that platform. [Bug 1457797]
-
-	* generic/tclClock.c (ClockClicksObjCmd): add support for Darwin
-	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TimeObjCmd):    nanosecond resolution timer
-	* generic/tclInt.h:                       to [clock clicks] and [time]
-	* unix/configure.in (Darwin):             when TCL_WIDE_CLICKS defined.
-	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (TclpGetWideClicks, TclpWideClicksToNanoseconds):
-	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
-	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59
-
-	* unix/tclUnixPort.h (Darwin): override potentially faulty configure
-	detection of termios availability in all cases, since termios is known
-	to be present on all Mac OS X releases since 10.0. [Bug 497147]
-
-2006-08-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add support for --enable-64bit on x86_64, for
-	universal builds including x86_64, for 64-bit CoreFoundation on Leopard
-	and for use of -mmacosx-version-min instead of MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
-	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
-	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59
-
-	* generic/tcl.h:          add fixes for building on Leopard and support
-	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:     for 64-bit CoreFoundation on Leopard.
-	* macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c:
-
-	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: on Darwin x86_64, disable use of vfork as it
-	causes execve to fail intermittently. (rdar://4685553)
-
-	* generic/tclTomMath.h: on Darwin 64-bit, for now disable use of
-	128-bit arithmetic through __attribute__ ((mode(TI))), as it leads to
-	link errors due to missing fallbacks. (rdar://4685527)
-
-	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: add x86_64 to universal build,
-	switch native release targets to use DWARF with dSYM, Xcode 3.0 changes
-	* macosx/README: updates for x86_64 and Xcode 2.4.
-
-	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/default.pbxuser: add test suite target that runs
-	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: the tcl test suite at build
-	time and shows clickable test suite errors in the GUI build window.
-
-	* tests/macOSXFCmd.test: fix use of deprecated resource fork paths.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): move code that is only
-	needed when TCL_LIBRARY is defined to run only in that case.
-
-	* generic/tclLink.c (LinkTraceProc): fix 64-bit signed-with-unsigned
-	comparison warning from gcc4 -Wextra.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclUnixWaitForFile): with timeout < 0, if
-	select() returns early (e.g. due to a signal), call it again instead of
-	returning a timeout result. Fixes intermittent event-13.8 failures.
-
-2006-08-17  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c:		Revised the new set of expression parse
-	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	error messages.
-
-2006-08-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Replace PrecedenceOf() function with
-	prec[] static array.
-
-2006-08-14  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* library/clock.tcl (::tcl::clock::add): Added missing braces to
-	clockval validation code. Pointed out on comp.lang.tcl.
-
-2006-08-11  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c: Improvements in buffer management to make
-	namespace creation faster. Plus selected other minor improvements to
-	code quality. [Patch 1352382]
-
-2006-08-10  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	Misc patches to make code more efficient. [Bug 1530474] (afredd)
-	* generic/*.c, macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c, unix/tclUnixNotfy.c,
-	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Tidy up invokations of Tcl_Panic() to promote
-	string constant sharing and consistent style.
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): More efficient handling of
-	* generic/tclClock.c (TclClockInit):     registration of commands not
-						 in global namespace.
-	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UnsetObjCmd): Remove unreachable clause.
-
-2006-08-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-        * generic/tclEncoding.c:        Replace buffer copy in for loop
-        with call to memcpy().  Thanks to afredd. [Patch 1530262]
-
-2006-08-09  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LassignObjCmd): Make the wrong#args message a
-	bit more consistent with those used elsewhere. [Bug 1534628]
-
-	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictForCmd): Stop crash when attempting to
-	iterate over an invalid dictionary. [Bug 1531184]
-
-	* doc/ParseCmd.3, doc/expr.n, doc/set.n, doc/subst.n, doc/switch.n:
-	* doc/tclvars.n: Ensure that uses of [expr] in documentation examples
-	are also good style (with braces) unless otherwise necessary. [Bug
-	1526581]
-
-2006-08-03  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): for USE_VFORK: ensure
-	standard channels are initialized before vfork() so that the child
-	doesn't potentially corrupt global state in the parent's address space.
-
-	* tests/compExpr-old.test: add 'oldExprParser' constraint to all tests
-	* tests/compExpr.test:     that depend on the exact format of the error
-	* tests/compile.test:      messages of the pre-2006-07-05 expression
-	* tests/expr-old.test:     parser. The constraint is on by default (i.e
-	* tests/expr.test:         those tests still fail), but can be turned
-	* tests/for.test:          off by passing '-constraints newExprParser'
-	* tests/if.test:           to tcltest, which will skip the 196 failing
-	* tests/parseExpr.test:    tests in the testsuite that are caused by
-	* tests/while.test:        the new expression parser error messages.
-
-2006-07-31  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclClock.c (ConvertLocalToUTCUsingC): Corrected a regression
-	that caused dates before 1969 to be one day off in the :localtime time
-	zone if TZ is not set. [Bug 1531530]
-
-2006-07-30  Kevin 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.
-	* 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.
-	* tests/clock.test: Rebuilt with new test cases for all the above.
-
-2006-07-30  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* doc/AppInit.3: Fix typo [Bug 1496886]
-
-2006-07-26  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Corrected flawed overflow detection in
-	* tests/expr.test:	INST_EXPON that caused [expr 2**64] to return 0
-	instead of the same value as [expr 1<<64].
-
-2006-07-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* win/tclWinSock.c:	Correct un-initialized Tcl_DString. Thanks to
-	afredd. [Bug 1518166]
-
-2006-07-21  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:
-	* tests/execute.test (execute-9.1): dgp's fix for [Bug 1522803].
-
-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/tclUnixInit.c (Tcl_GetEncodingNameFromEnvironment): importing
-	symbols not available on OSX 10.2 or 10.3, enables binaires built on
-	later OSX versions to run on earlier ones.
-	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: enable weak-linking; turn on
-	                                        extra warnings.
-	* macosx/README: document how to enable weak-linking; cleanup.
-	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: add support for weak-linking; conditionalize
-	AvailabilityMacros.h inclusion; only disable realpath on 10.2 or earlier
-	when threads are enabled.
-	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadMemoryGetBuffer): change runtime Darwin
-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform):        release check to use
-	                                                global initialized once.
-	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, TclpObjNormalizePath): add runtime
-	Darwin release check to determine if realpath is threadsafe.
-	* unix/configure.in: add check on Darwin for compiler support of weak
-	* unix/tcl.m4:       import and for AvailabilityMacros.h header;
-	move Darwin specific checks & defines that are only relevant to the tcl
-	build out of tcl.m4; restrict framework option to Darwin; cleanup
-	quoting and help messages.

-
-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
-	exclude realpath, causing file normalize to ignore symbolic links in
-	the path.
-
-2006-07-11  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* 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 for MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED
-	define from AvailabilityMacros.h: override configure detection and only
-	use API available in the indicated OS version or earlier.
-
-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
-
-2006-05-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_SYSTEM): Fixed quoting of command script to
-	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. This
-	fixes [Bug 1482718]. Note that the fix will not be effective for code
-	that calls the private routine TclProcCompileProc() directly.
-
-2006-05-13  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors): fix leak. [Coverity issue 86]
-
-2006-05-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* 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]

-2006-04-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* win/tclWinInit.c:	More careful calls to Tcl_DStringSetLength()

-2006-04-05  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): Allow empty
-	strings to be matched by the Tcl_GetIndexFromObj machinery, in the
-	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): [Bug 1462248]. 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.
-
-	* 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>

-
-	* doc/CrtChannel.3:    Added TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_5, made it the version

-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 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>
-

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

-	* 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.
-

-2006-03-18  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:

-
-2006-03-17  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
-

-
-	* 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. [Bug 1448251]. Thanks
-	to Julian Noble.
-
-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.

-
-	* changes:	Update in prep. for 8.5a4 release.
-
-	* unix/Makefile.in:	Package http 2.5.2 requires Tcl 8.4, so the

-	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

-
-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

-
-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/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/tclIORChan.c:	interp == NULL arguments. [Bug 1380662]
-	* 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

-	* win/tclWinInit.c:
-
-	* generic/tclDecls.h:	make genstubs
-	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
-
-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

-
-2006-01-26  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 [Bug 1410553]. Thanks to twylite and Peter Spjuth.
-
-	* 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.
-
-2005-12-30  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclStubLib.c: Corrected a typo in "missing Stubs table
-	pointer."
-
-2005-12-27  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tcl.decls:  Destubbed TclTomMathInitializeStubs - it is in
-	* generic/tcl.h:      the stub library, not the main shared
-	* generic/tclBasic.c: library. Exported Tcl_InitBignumFromDouble.
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:
-	* generic/tclInt.h:
-	* generic/tclStrToD.c:
-
-	* generic/tclDecls.h:
-	* generic/tclStubLib.c:
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regenerated.
-
-	* generic/clock.tcl: Reverted to using the time zone abbreviation and
-	not its name to "stop the bleeding" on [Bug 1386377]. This is *not* a
-	good long-term solution, but there may not be one.
-
-	* libtommath/bn_mp_sqrt.c: Improved the initial approximation to the
-	square root, roughly doubling the speed of the routine. (This is a
-	local change that needs to be communicated to Tom.)
-
-	* win/Makefile.in: Corrected a bug where tommath_class.h and
-	tommath_superclass.h were not installed, making it impossible for
-	client code to compile against the tommath stubs.
-
-	* library/tzdata: Updated to Olson's tzdata2005r. (Latest changes to
-	Daylight Saving Time in Canada, plus redefinition of the Posix-style
-	zones [e.g., EST5EDT] to be locale-independent.)
-
-	* libtommath: Updated to Tom St.Denis's release 0.37.
-
-2005-12-20  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (Tcl_GetMemoryInfo): Format values as longs
-	and not ints, so they are less likely to wrap on 64-bit machines.
-
-2005-12-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	Modified [string is double] to use
-	* tests/string.test:	TclParseNumber() to parse trailing whitespace.
-	Ensures consistency, and makes it easier to cleanup after invalid
-	internal reps left behind by parsing [Bugs 1360532 1382287].
-
-	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Added TCL_PARSE_NO_WHITESPACE to
-	* generic/tclScan.c:	TclParseNumber() calls since [scan] and [expr]
-	* tests/scan.test:	parsing don't want spaces in parsed numbers.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	Added TCL_PARSE_NO_WHITESPACE flag to the
-	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	TclParseNumber() interface.
-
-2005-12-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* doc/Tcl.n: Clarify what is going on in variable substitution
-	following thread on comp.lang.tcl.
-
-2005-12-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictCmd): Ensure that we only do an
-	'endCatch' when there's a preceding 'beginCatch'. [Bug 1382528] Many
-	thanks to Anton Kovalenko for finding this and pointing out that it was
-	a catch stack handling problem!
-
-2005-12-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: workaround gcc warning "comparison is always
-	* generic/tclTest.c:   false due to limited range of data type".
-
-	* macosx/Tcl.xcode/project.pbxproj:
-	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj:
-	* unix/Makefile.in: add new tclTomMath* files.
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c: replace panic with Tcl_Panic.
-
-2005-12-13  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tcl.decls:    Added changes to export an additional stubs
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:   table to represent the 'libtommath' routines
-	* generic/tclDecls.h:   that Tcl uses and export them to callers.
-	* generic/tclInt.decls: Reran 'genstubs'
-	* generic/tclInt.h:
-	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
-	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

-
-2005-12-13  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC:DICT_FIRST,DICT_DONE): Only decrease the
-	references to the dictionary once the iteration completes. Do this by
-	storing the dict in the iterator context variable. [Bug 1379349] Thanks
-	to Ulrich Ring and Tobias Hippler for finding this.
-
-2005-12-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: Fix sh quoting error reported in
-	bash-3.1+ [Bug 1377619] (schafer)
-
-2005-12-12  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* doc/mathfunc.n: Changed two examples from the incorrect 'tcl::math::'
-	to 'tcl::mathfunc::' [Bug 1378818]
-
-2005-12-09  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* win/configure: Regen.
-	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Define MACHINE for gcc builds. The
-	lack of a definition of this variable in the manifest file was causing
-	a runtime error in wish built with gcc.
-
-2005-12-09  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* tests/lsearch.test (lsearch-10.8..10):  If the -start is off the end,
-	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): searching should find nothing
-	at all. [Bug 1374778]
-
-2005-12-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* win/Makefile.in, win/makefile.vc: Add Win x64 and CE build support
-	* win/tcl.m4, win/configure:        CE still requires C code fixes.
-
-	* generic/tcl.h: use struct __stat64 (not _stat64) for MSC_VER >= 1400
-	(i.e. latest Platform SDK).
-
-2005-12-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* doc/socket.n: Cross-referenced the socket documentation better to the
-	fconfigure documentation on the topic of asynch sockets.
-	* doc/fconfigure.n: Added keyword to documentation of -blocking option
-	so that people looking for "asynch" can find it as well.
-
-2005-12-05  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* unix/tclUnixPort.h (Darwin): fix incorrect __DARWIN_UNIX03 configure
-	overrides that were originally copied from Darwin CVS (rdar://3693001)
-
-2005-12-05  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* tools/tclZIC.tcl: Updated to reflect changes in calling sequence when
-	GetJulianDateFromEraYearMonthDay moved to C.
-	* library/tzdata: Regenerated from Olson's tzdata2005p.tar.gz - the
-	'systemv' changes appear not to affect Tcl's processing of the dates.
-
-2005-12-05  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* unix/configure.in: move check for fts API to configure.in and run it
-	* unix/tcl.m4:       on all platforms, since Linux glibc2 and *BSDs
-	also have this; using fts is more efficient than a recursive
-	opendir/readdir.
-	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TraverseUnixTree): add support to fts code for
-	platforms with stat64.
-	* unix/configure:
-	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: regen.
-
-2005-12-05  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* unix/configure:     Use fts file API on Darwin if available.
-	* unix/tcl.m4:        Addresses file delete issues in readdir noted
-	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: in [Bug 1034337]. (steffen)
-	Remove redundant stat call for each file in DoCopyFile. (steffen)

-2005-12-02  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclClock.c: Moved a tiny bit more of [clock format] from run
-	* library/clock.tcl: time to compile time, and fixed a l10n bug in the
-	process. [Bug 1371446]. Also, conditoned the call to SetupTimeZone to
-	speed the common case where TZData($timezone) already exists, and
-	achieved a puny speedup by making ::tcl::clock::getenv not throw
-	errors.
-	* unix/Makefile.in: Made some changes to support a 'make' command that
-	is present on some antiquated versions of Solaris.
-
-2005-12-01  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* library/clock.tcl: Continued rationalizing the code, eliminating
-	numerous redundant [mc] calls. Added another time boost by precompiling
-	a [::format] command to do the bulk of the work of [clock format].
-
-2005-12-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* unix/Makefile.in: Add remaining dependency info. While automated
-	maintenance of this information would be good, having it at all is much
-	better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick...
-
-2005-12-01  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclClock.c: fix warning.
-
-	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): fix error when MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET unset
-	* unix/configure: regen.
-
-2005-11-30  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* unix/Makefile.in: Add dependency information relating to tclCompile.h
-	since when the list of opcodes changes it is usually useful to rebuild
-	everything that depends on it (but which is nonetheless a small
-	fraction of the total set of Tcl source files).
-
-	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for bytecode savers/loaders. See below
-
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Arrange for very simple
-	[switch] invokations to be compiled into hash lookups into jump tables;
-	only a very specific kind of [switch] can be safely compiled this way,
-	but that happens to be the most common kind. This makes around 5-10%
-	difference to the speed of execution of clock.test.
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC:INST_JUMP_TABLE): New instruction to allow
-	for jumps to locations looked up in a hashtable. Requires a new AuxData
-	type, tclJumptableInfoType (supported by the functions DupJumptableInfo
-	and FreeJumptableInfo in tclCompCmds.c) so anything that saves bytecode
-	containing this *must* be updated!
-
-2005-11-30  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclClock.c: Fixed a bad refcount in previous commit that led
-	to a corrupted heap. Also silenced a warning that some compilers gave
-	about the excessively long constant for JULIAN_SEC_POSIX_EPOCH. Also
-	fixed a bug where [clock format] would fail in the :localtime zone for
-	times before the Posix Epoch. Thanks to Miguel Sofer for pointing out
-	all of these. Also rationalized the code a little bit by moving parts
-	of [clock scan] into C, eliminating some code that was duplicated in
-	the C and Tcl layers.
-
-2005-11-29  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Moved a big part of [clock format] down
-	* generic/tclClock.c:   to the C level in order to make it go faster.
-	* generic/tclInt.h:     Preliminary measurements suggest that it
-	* generic/clock.tcl:    more than doubles in speed with this change.
-
-2005-11-29  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): Allow [lsearch -regexp] to
-	process REs that contain backreferences. This expensive mode of
-	operation is only used if the RE would otherwise cause a compilation
-	failure. [Bug 1366683]
-
-2005-11-28  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* tools/tclZIC.tcl (convertTimeOfDay): Corrected a typo that caused
-	wrong DST transitions in any time zone where the transition is
-	specified as local Standard Time (as opposed to wall-clock or UTC).
-	(Also updated the code to be bignum-safe.)
-	* tests/clock.test (clock-51.1): Added regression test for the above.
-	* library/tzdata: Updated to Olson's 'tzdata2005o' (changes for Cuba,
-	Nicaragua, Jordan, and Georgia) and regenerated. Thanks to Paul
-	Mackerras for reporting this problem.
-
-2005-11-27  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add 64bit support, check for Tiger copyfile(),
-	add CFLAGS to SHLIB_LD to support passing -isysroot in env(CFLAGS) to
-	configure (flag can't be present twice, so can't be in both CFLAGS and
-	LDFLAGS during configure), don't use -prebind when deploying on 10.4,
-	define TCL_IO_TRACK_OS_FOR_DRIVER_WITH_BAD_BLOCKING (rdar://3171542).
-	(SC_ENABLE_LANGINFO, SC_TIME_HANDLER): add/fix caching, fix obsolete

-	* unix/Makefile.in: add CFLAGS to tclsh/tcltest link to make executable
-	linking the same as during configure (needed to avoid losing any linker
-	relevant flags in CFLAGS, in particular flags that cannot be in
-	LDFLAGS). Avoid concurrent linking of tclsh and compiling of
-	tclTestInit.o or xtTestInit.o during parallel make.
-	(checkstubs, checkdoc, checkexports): dependency and Darwin fixes
-	(dist): add new macosx files.
-
-	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpDlopen): use NSADDIMAGE_OPTION_WITH_SEARCHING

-	(TclMacOSXCopyFileAttributes): add support for new Tiger copyfile() API
-	to enable copying of xattrs & ACLs by [file copy].
-
-	* generic/tcl.h: add Darwin specifc configure overrides for TCL_WIDE
-	defines to support fat compiles of ppc and ppc64 at the same time,
-	(replaces Darwin CVS fix by emoy, rdar://3693001). add/correct location
-	of version numbers in macosx files.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h: clarify fat compile comment.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: add Darwin specifc configure overrides to support
-	fat compiles, where configure runs only once for multiple architectures

-	compiles.
-
-	* macosx/README: clarification/cleanup, document new Xcode projects and
-	universal (fat) builds via CFLAGS (i.e. all of ppc ppc64 i386 at once).

-	* unix/Makefile.in:
-	* unix/aclocal.m4:
-	* unix/configure.in:
-	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in:

-	headers enabled configure script in macosx (required by Xcode
-	projects).
-
-	* macosx/GNUmakefile: rename from Makefile to avoid overwriting by
-	configure run in tcl/macosx, add support for reusing configure cache,
-	build target fixes, remove GENERIC_FLAGS override now handled by
-	tcl.m4.
-
-	* generic/tcl.decls: add Tcl_Main declaration as comment to avoid
-	'checkstubs' target complaining about it missing from stubs.

-	complete without error on Darwin with gcc 4.
-
-	* generic/rege_dfa.c (getvacant):

-2005-11-21  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* unix/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Updated Makefile to new
-	* win/Makefile.in (install-libraries):  version of the http package.
-	This fixes the ifneeded/provide mismatch reported when trying to
-	require http. Should we maybe try to automatically extract the version
-	number from the http code to prevent future breakage ?
-
-	This follows the update of the version number by dgp on Nov 15 (No
-	entry found in the ChangeLog).
-
-2005-11-20  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclStubLib.c: Don't set tclStubsPtr to 0 when

-	crashes wish"]
-
-2005-11-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* tests/trace.test (trace-34.5): [Bug 1047286], added a second test
-	illustrating the role of "ns in callStack" in the ns's visibility
-	during deletion traces.
-
-2005-11-18  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* doc/clock.n: Restored several missing lines near the %w format group
-	so that %w and %W are documented with their actual behaviour. [Bug
-	1359183]
-
-2005-11-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): preserve statePtr until we
-	retrieve the next statePtr from it.
-
-2005-11-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclObj.c (GetBignumFromObj): replace NULL with
-	tclEmptyStringRep to stop memcpy from complaining in a debug build
-	(the corresponding branch is eliminated by the optimiser otherwise).
-
-2005-11-18  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): Applied Pat Thoyts' patch
-	for [Bug 1359094]. This moves the retrieval of the next channel state
-	to the end of the loop, as the called closeproc may close other
-	channels, i.e. modify the list we are iterating, invalidating any
-	pointer retrieved earlier.
-
-2005-11-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclListObj.c:	Restored the SetListFromAny routine to the
-	* generic/tclObj.c:	"list" Tcl_ObjType, and restored the
-	Tcl_RegisterObjType() call for "list". This addresses the needs of some
-	"bridge" extensions to examine whether the Tcl_ObjType of a Tcl_Obj is
-	that of the "list" Tcl_ObjType.
-

-	* generic/tclBasic.c (CallCommandTraces): Save/restore the interp
-	result during traces to fix [Bug 1355342].

-
-	* generic/tclInt.h:
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
-	* tests/namespace.test: fix for [Bug 1354540] and [Bug 1355942]. The

-	1355342]
-
-	* tests/trace.test: added tests 20.13-16 for [Bug 1355342]
-
-2005-11-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken):
-	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetCommandFromObj): more partial fixes for
-	[Bug 1354540] - making sure that cached references to a command being

-
-2005-11-12  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindCommand): Do not find commands in dead

-
-2005-11-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	Revised TclParseNumber interface to enable
-	* generic/tclScan.c:	revision to the [scan] command implementation
-	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	to permit tests scan-4.44,55 to pass again.
-	[Bug 1348067].
-
-2005-11-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken):
-	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetCommandFromObj): bump the cmd epoch early
-	to insure that cached references to this command are invalidated.
-	Partial fix for [Bug 1352734] - at least insures that namespace-51.13
-	does not cause a panic. The test is still marked as knownbug, pending
-	resolution of what is actually the correct return value ([Bug
-	1354540])
-
-2005-11-09  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclTimer.c: Changed [after] so that it behaves correctly

-
-2005-11-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* tests/compile.test:	Updated tests with changed behavior

-
-	* tests/expr.test:      Portable tests expr-46.13-18 [Bug 1341368]
-
-	* generic/tclPkg.c:	Corrected inconsistencies in the value returned
-	* tests/pkg.test:	by Tcl_PkgRequire(Ex) so that the returned
-	values will always agree with what is stored in the package database.
-	This way repeated calls to Tcl_PkgRequire(Ex) have the same results.

-
-2005-11-08  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclTrace.c (TraceVarEx): Factor out heart of Tcl_TraceVar2
-	(TclTraceVariableObjCmd,TraceVarProc): Use the new internal API to
-	arrange for the clientData to be cleaned up at the same time as the
-	rest of the main trace record. This simplifies the code a bit at the
-	same time.
-
-2005-11-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* tests/trace.test (trace-13.2-4): added tests to detect leak, see [Bug

-
-2005-11-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* tests/dict.test (dict-19.2): arrange for the stress testing code to

-
-2005-11-05  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-

-	* generic/tclVar.c: fix for [Bug 1334947]. The functions TclPtrSetVar,
-	Tcl_ObjSetVar2 and Tcl_SetVar2Ex now always consume the newValuePtr
-	argument - i.e., they will free a 0-refCount object if they failed to
-	set the variable. Fixed all callers in the core.
-
-2005-11-04  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Added abbreviations for the Korean
-	* library/clock.tcl:    timezone. [Patch 1298737]
-	* generic/tclDate.c:    Regenerated.
-
-	* tools/findBadExternals.tcl: Added this script, which locates external

-	conflict with other link libraries. Thanks to George Peter Staplin for
-	the idea and the initial version of the script. [Bug 1263012]
-
-	* unix/Makefile.in: Trimmed a bunch of fat out of the tommath/
-	directory in 'make dist'. [RFE 1333318]
-
-	* unix/tcl.m4: Added code to enable [load] on LynxOS. Thanks to
-	heidibr@users.sf.net for the patch. [Bug 1163896]. Removed the last

-
-2005-10-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclTrace.c (TraceVarProc): [Bug 1337229], partial fix. Ensure
-	that a second call with TCL_TRACE_DESTROYED does not lead to a second
-	call to Tcl_EventuallyFree(). It is still true that that second call
-	should not happen, so the bug is not completely fixed.

-2005-10-21  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclStrToD.c (RefineApproximation): Plugged a memory leak

-2005-10-21  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* doc/binary.n: Clarify that virtually all code that uses the 'h'
-	format in [binary scan] should be using the 'H' format instead. It is
-	nearly always a bug to use the other!
-
-2005-10-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclListObj.c (TclLsetFlat):
-	* tests/lset.test (lset-10.3): fixed handling of unshared lists with
-	shared sublists, [Bug 1333036] reported by neuronstorm.
-
-2005-10-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclIORChan.c (PassReceivedError,PassReceivedErrorInterp):
-	Fix crash caused by passing -1 as the length to TclNewStringObj(). Only
-	Tcl_NewStringObj (the function call, not the macro) handles that sort
-	of thing correctly. This makes ioCmd.test pass again.

-
-	* generic/tclIORChan.c: General cleanup, removing checks that are
-	unnecessary due to the general contracts of other functions in the

-
-2005-10-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
-

-	2005-10-04 (see below). Look into [Bug 1323992] for detailed
-	discussion.
-
-	* generic/tcl.h: Fixed bad definition of CRTEXPORT which should have

-
-2005-10-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (GetNumberFromObj):	Restored some lost
-	optimizations for empty string values. We avoid cost of a call to

-
-2005-10-12  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclPathObj.c (SetFsPathFromAny): TclGetString macro must not

-
-2005-10-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-

-	added missing "break" to a switch that broke wide XOR operations.
-
-2005-10-10  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclInterp.c (DeleteScriptLimitCallback)
-	(SetScriptLimitCallback): Improve the interlocking between the script
-	limit callback record and the hash table of current such records, to
-	prevent crashes in callbacks that create callbacks.
-	(Tcl_LimitSetTime): Reset the correct flag. Problem reported by
-	Nicolas Castagne <castagne@imag.fr> on comp.lang.tcl

-
-2005-10-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Macro GetNumberFromObj() is version of
-	TclGetNumberFromObj() that saves a function call for common uses.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	Made #undef NO_WIDE_TYPE the default on 32-bit
-	systems. Being able to use 64-bit values without leaping to mp_int
-	should help with performance.
-
-	* generic/tclObj.c:	Bug fixes in the #undef NO_WIDE_TYPE
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:	configuration.
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: Improved performance of comparison opcodes and

-
-2005-10-05  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>
-

-	putenv(), but can't unset env vars with it. Note difference between
-	Windows and Linux for actually unsetting the env var (use of '=').
-	Correct the resizing of the environ array. We assume that we are in

-2005-10-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: Updated TclIncrObj() to more efficiently add

-	sections for performance.
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c: Updated more callers to make use of
-	TclGetNumberFromObj. Removed some dead code.
-
-2005-10-04  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialSetOptionProc): free argv [Bug 1067708]

-
-2005-10-04  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers): now deletes any

-
-	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
-

-
-	* libtommath/bn_mp_add_d.c: Bug fix. For mp_add_d(&a, d, &c), when &a
-	has the value -d, then the value &c computed should be zero, but
-	mp_add_d was producing an inconsistent zero value with a sign field of

-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Dropped all creation of "bigOne" values and

-
-	* generic/tcl.h:	Explicitly standardized on the use of stdarg.h
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	conventions for functions with variable number
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	of arguments. Support for varargs.h has been

-	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_ConcatObj):  Do efficient concatenation and

-
-	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Pushed Tcl_FinalizeLoad and
-	Tcl_ResetFilesystem down after Tcl_FinalizeThreadAlloc because we can't
-	unload DLL's until after their TSD keys are finalized. (Note that we'll
-	still see aborts if an unloaded DLL has TSD - that still needs to be
-	fixed.
-
-	* tests/compExpr-old.test (compExpr-3.8): Made tests conditional on
-	* tests/expr.test (expr-3.8):             'unix' because they get
-	stack overflows on Win32 threaded builds,

-
-	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: Stop exposing the guts of the thread

-
-	[kennykb-numerics-branch] Updated from HEAD
-
-	* generic/tclObj.c:	Rewrote Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj() and supporting

-
-	* tests/compExpr-old.test:	Still more conversion of "nonPortable"
-	* tests/error.test:		tests into tests with constraints that

-
-2005-07-27  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclUtil.c:	Converted the $::tcl_precision value to be kept
-	per-thread to prevent different threads from stomping on each others'
-	formatting prescriptions.
-
-	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** Multi-threaded programs that set the
-	value of ::tcl_precision will now have to set it in each thread.
-
-	* tests/expr.test:	Consolidated equivalent constraints into
-	* tests/fileName.test:	single definitions and (more precise) names:
-	* tests/get.test:	longis32bit, 32bit, !intsAre64bit => longIs32bit
-	* tests/listObj.test:	empty => emptyTest; winOnly => win
-	* tests/obj.test:	intsAre64bit => longIs64bit
-	Also updated some "nonPortable" tests to use constraints that mark
-	precisely what about them isn't portable, so the tests can run where
-	they work.
-
-	* library/init.tcl ([unknown]): Corrected return code handling in the
-	portions of [unknown] that expand incomplete commands during
-	interactive operations. [Bug 1214462].
-
-2005-07-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* unix/configure: Regen.

-
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictCmd): First run at a compiler
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): for dictionaries. Also
-	added an instruction to support 'finally'-like clauses, exposed more of
-	the dict guts to the rest of the core, and defined a few tests to

-	during development.
-
-2005-07-21  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* library/ldAout.tcl (***REMOVED***):	Removed support for ancient
-	* unix/configure:			BSD's, IRIX 4, RISCos and
-	* unix/Makefile.in:			Ultrix. Removed two files whose
-	* unix/tcl.m4:				code is used only on those
-	* unix/tclLoadAout.c (***REMOVED***):	antique platforms.
-
-	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** if anyone actually uses those
-	platforms; it is to be noted though, that an error in the installer has
-	actually not caused a necessary file to be installed on those platforms
-	in several releases, and nobody's complained.

-2005-07-16  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclStrToD.c (RefineResult):  Plugged a stupid memory leak in

-	* generic/tclClock.c (TclClockLocaltimeObjCmd,ThreadSafeLocalTime):
-	* library/clock.tcl (GuessWindowsTimeZone, ClearCaches):
-	* tests/clock.test (clock-49.1, clock-49.2):
-	Handle correctly the case where localtime() returns NULL to report a
-	conversion error. Also handle the case where the Windows registry
-	contains timezone values that can be mapped to a tzdata file name but
-	the corresponding file does not exist or is corrupted, by falling back
-	on a Posix timezone string instead; this last case will avoid calls to
-	localtime() in starpacks on Windows. [Bug 1237907]

-2005-07-14  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>
-
-	* generic/tclCompile.c: Update to follow style guidelines.

-
-	* unix/tclUnixSock.c:	Use a ProcessGlobalValue to store the value

-
-2005-07-08  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Reimplement long and wide
-	type integer division and modulus operations so that the smallest and
-	largest integer values are handled properly. The divide operation is
-	more efficient since it no longer does a modulus or negation and only
-	checks for a remainder when the quotient will be a negative number.
-	The modulus operation is now a bit more complex because of a number of
-	special cases dealing with the smallest and largest integers.
-	* tests/expr.test: Add test cases for division and modulus operations
-	on the smallest and largest integer values for 32 and 64 bit types.

-
-2005-07-04  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictForCmd, DictFilterCmd): Interlocking of

-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): When parsing an integer
-	operand for a unary minus expression operator, check for a wide integer
-	that is actually LONG_MIN. If found, convert back to a long int type.
-	* tests/expr.test: Add constraint for 32bit long int type and 64bit

-	Steffen. There are compilers (*) who error out on the redefinition of

-
-2005-06-21  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclFileName.c: Changed [file split] and [file join] to treat
-	Windows drive letters similarly to ~ syntax and make sure that they

-2005-06-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Added missing walk of the list of active

-	* tests/for.test: Check some error cases when invoking continue and

-2005-06-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h: ensure WORDS_BIGENDIAN is defined correctly with
-	fat compiles on Darwin (i.e. ppc and i386 at the same time), the
-	configure AC_C_BIGENDIAN check is not sufficient in this case because a
-	single run of the compiler builds for two architectures with different

-
-	* unix/configure.in, unix/tcl.m4: Standardize generation of help

-	and --with-tk, where the default is complex) say what the default is.
-
-2005-05-31  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: the notifier thread is now created as joinable

-2005-05-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* library/init.tcl:	Updated [unknown] to be sure the [return]

-	correctly by the caller.
-
-2005-05-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* tests/env.test: added DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH to the list of env vars
-	that need to be handled specially.
-
-	* macosx/Makefile:
-	* macosx/README:
-	* macosx/Tcl-Info.plist.in (new file):
-	* unix/Makefile.in:
-	* unix/configure.in:
-	* unix/tcl.m4:
-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: moved all Darwin framework build support from
-	macosx/Makefile into the standard unix configure/make buildsystem, the
-	macosx/Makefile is no longer required to build Tcl.framework (but its
-	functionality is still available for backwards compatibility).
-	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
-
-	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclLoadFile):
-	* generic/tclInt.h:
-	* unix/tcl.m4:
-	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c: added support for [load]ing .bundle binaries in
-	addition to .dylib's: .bundle's can be [unload]ed (unlike .dylib's),
-	and can be [load]ed from memory, e.g. directly from VFS without needing
-	to be written out to a temporary location first. [Bug 1202209]
-	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
-	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59
-
-	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TimeObjCmd): change [time] called with a
-	count > 1 to return a string with a float value instead of a rounded
-	off integer. [Bug 1202178]
-
-	* doc/expr.n:
-	* doc/string.n: fixed roff syntax complaints from 'make html'.
-
-2005-05-20  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Corrected parser to recognize all
-	boolean literals accepted by Tcl_GetBoolean, including prefixes like
-	"y" and "f", and to allow "eq" and "ne" as function names in the proper
-	context. [Bug 1201589].
-
-2005-05-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): Rewrite for greater
-	clarity; although 'goto' is Bad, the contortions you have to go through
-	to avoid it can be worse...
-
-2005-05-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): fixed crashing CFRelease
-	of runLoopSource in Tcl_InitNotifier (reported by Zoran):
-	CFRunLoopAddSource doesn't CFRetain, so can only CFRelease the
-	runLoopSource in Tcl_FinalizeNotifier.
-
-2005-05-18  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_ExprBoolean):	Rewrite as wrapper around
-	Tcl_ExprBooleanObj.
-
-	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c ([string is boolean/true/false]): Rewrite dropping
-	string-based Tcl_GetBoolean call, so that internal reps are kept for
-	subsequent quick boolean operations.
-
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Dropped most special handling of the "boolean"
-	Tcl_ObjType, since that type should now be rarely encountered.
-
-	* doc/BoolObj.3:	Rewrite of documentation dropping many details
-	about the internals of Tcl_Objs. Shorter documentation focuses on the
-	function and use of the routines.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h:	Revision to the "boolean" Tcl_ObjType, so that
-	* generic/tclObj.c:	only string values like "yes" and "false" are
-	* tests/obj.test:	kept as the "boolean" Tcl_ObjType. The string
-	values "0" and "1" are kept as "int" Tcl_ObjType, which also produce
-	quick calls to Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj(). Since this internal change
-	means a Tcl_ConvertToType to a "boolean" Tcl_ObjType might not produce
-	a Tcl_Obj of type "boolean", the registration of the "boolean" type is
-	also removed.
-	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
-	For callers of Tcl_GetObjType on the type name "boolean".
-
-2005-05-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclObj.c (TclInitObjSubsystem):	Removed the
-	* tests/listObj.test:	registration of the Tcl_ObjType's "list",
-	* tests/obj.test:	"procbody", "index", "ensembleCommand",
-	"localVarName", and "levelReference". The only reason to register a
-	Tcl_ObjType is to have it returned by Tcl_GetObjType, and the only
-	reason for that is to retrieve a (Tcl_ObjType *) to pass to
-	Tcl_ConvertToType(). None of the types above can support a
-	Tcl_ConvertToType() call; they panic. Better not to offer something
-	than to lead users into a panic.
-	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
-	For callers of Tcl_GetObjType on the type names listed above.
-
-2005-05-15  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: conditioned definition of EXCEPTION_REGISTRATION
-	structures on HAVE_NO_SEH, to fix a bug in buildability on MSVC.
-
-2005-05-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclInt.decls:
-	* generic/tclTest.c:
-	* generic/tclUtil.c:
-	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: fixed link error due to direct access by tclTest.c
-	to the MODULE_SCOPE tclPlatform global: renamed existing
-	TclWinGetPlatform() accessor to TclGetPlatform() and moved it to
-	generic code so that it can be used by on all platforms where
-	MODULE_SCOPE is enforced.
-
-	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:
-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:
-	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): made use of CoreFoundation API configurable and
-	added test of CoreFoundation availablility to allow building on ppc64,
-	replaced HAVE_CFBUNDLE by HAVE_COREFOUNDATION; test for availability of
-	Tiger or later OSSpinLockLock API.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
-	* unix/Makefile.in:
-	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (new file): when CoreFoundation is
-	available, use new CFRunLoop based notifier: allows easy integration
-	with other event loops on Mac OS X, in particular the TkAqua Carbon
-	event loop is now integrated via a standard tcl event source (instead
-	of TkAqua upon loading having to finalize the exsting notifier and
-	replace it with its custom version). [Patch 1202052]
-
-	* tests/unixNotfy.test: don't run unthreaded tests on Darwin since
-	notifier may be using threads even in unthreaded core.
-
-	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
-	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): test for thread-unsafe realpath during
-	configure, as Darwin 7 and later realpath is threadsafe.
-
-	* macosx/Makefile: enable configure caching.
-
-	* unix/configure.in: wrap tclConfig.h header in #ifndef _TCLCONFIG so
-	that it can be included more than once without warnings from gcc4.0 (as
-	happens e.g. when including both tclInt.h and tclPort.h)
-
-	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:
-	* unix/tclUnixChan.c:
-	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c:
-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: fixed gcc 4.0 warnings.
-
-	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
-	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59
-
-	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
-	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
-	* generic/tclStubInit.c: make genstubs
-
-2005-05-13  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Further rework of the SEH logic. All
-	EXCEPTION_REGISTRATION records are now in the activation record rather
-	than pushed on the stack.
-
-2005-05-13  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Dropped the TCL_NO_MATH configuration. It's
-	* generic/tclBinary.c:	believed this has not been working in a long
-	* generic/tclExecute.c: time. Tcl needs math.h. [RFE 1200680]
-	* unix/Makefile.in:
-
-2005-05-12  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* doc/mathfunc.n: Changed NAME line to match the name of the page.
-
-2005-05-11  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	[kennykb-numerics-branch] Resynchronized with the HEAD; at this
-	checkpoint [-rkennykb-numerics-branch-20050511], the HEAD and
-	kennykb-numerics-branch contain identical code.
-
-2005-05-11  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclStrToD.c (TclStrToD, RefineResult, ParseNaN): Changed the
-	code to cast 'char' to UCHAR explicitly when using ctype macros, to
-	silence complaints from the Solaris compiler.
-
-2005-05-10  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: add lint attr to enum to satisfy strictly
-	compliant compilers that don't like trailing ,s.
-
-	* tests/string.test: string-10.[21-30]
-	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): add extra checks to prevent
-	possible UMR in unichar cmp function for string map.
-
-2005-05-10  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	* generic/tclBinary.c (FormatNumber): Fixed a bug where NaN's resulted
-	in reads of uninitialized memory when using 'd', 'q', or 'Q' format.
-	* generic/tclStrToD.c (ParseNaN, TclFormatNaN): Added code to handle
-	the peculiarities of HP's PA_RISC, which uses a different 'quiet' bit
-	in NaN from everyone else.
-	* libtommath/tommath_superclass.h: Corrected C++-style comment.
-
-2005-05-10  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

-
-	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
-	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace, TclWinCPUID): Reworked
-	structured event handling to function even with -fomit-frame-pointers.
-
-2005-05-08  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
-	* generic/tclStrToD.c: Made code more portable by finding a workaround
-	for MSVC's 'volatile' issue that does not require conditional
-	compilation.
-	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclWinCPUID): Removed structured event handling
-	from the GCC code since (a) bad code is generated by the instruction
-	scheduling with -O2, and (b) it's not needed on any reasonably modern
-	CPU.
-
-2005-05-07  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
-
-	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
-	* generic/tclEvent.c:  Moved initialization of tclStrToD.c's
-	* generic/tclInt.h:    static constants into a procedure called
-	* generic/tclStrToD.c: from TclInitSubsystems to avoid double checked
-	locking protocol. Cleaned up an issue where MSVC ignored the
-	'volatile' specifier, causing incorrect comparison of an underflowed
-	number against zero.
-
-2005-05-06  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>
-
-	* unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: correct Solaris 10 (5.10) check and add

-	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:	search can be done more efficiently when it is
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:recognized that a pattern match is really an

-
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:	Replaced all instance of
-	* generic/tclCompile.c:		TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE with TCL_ERROR.
-	* generic/tclInt.h:		Now that we've eradicated the mistaken
-	* tests/appendComp.test:	notion of a "compile-time error", we
-	can use the TCL_ERROR return code to signal any failure to produce
-	bytecode.
-

-
-2005-04-26  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	* generic/tclBinary.c (FormatNumber): Dredge the NaN out of the
-	internal representation if Tcl_GetDoubleFromObj returns TCL_ERROR on a
-	NaN.
-
-	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetDoubleFromObj): Restored silent
-	overflow/underflow behaviour that the merge of 2004-04-25 messed up.
-	Thanks to Don Porter for calling attention to this bug. Also removed an
-	uninitialised memory reference in this function that valgrind caught.
-	Also changed to return TCL_ERROR on a pure NaN.
-
-	* generic/tclStrToD.c (RefineResult): Added a test for the initial
-	approximation being HUGE_VAL; this test avoids EDOM being returned from
-	ldexp on some platforms on input values exceeding the floating point
-	range.
-
-	* tests/expr.test (expr-29.*, expr-30.*): Added further tests of
-	overflow/underflow on input conversions.

-
-	* compat/string.h: fixed memchr() protoype for __APPLE__ so that we
-	build on Mac OS X 10.1 again.
-
-	* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): fixed notifier not being
-	finalized in unthreaded core (was testing for notifier initialization
-	in current thread by checking thread id != 0 but thread id is always 0
-	in untreaded core).
-
-	* win/tclWinNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent):
-	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): don't call ScaleTimeProc for
-	zero wait times (as specified in TIP 233).
-
-	* unix/Makefile.in: added @PLAT_SRCS@ to SRCS and split out NOTIFY_SRCS
-	from UNIX_SRCS for parity with UNIX_OBJS & NOTIFY_OBJS.
-
-	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): added configure checks for recently added

-2005-04-22  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
-
-	The 2005-04-21 changes to Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj were done to bring it
-	into agreement with its docs. Further investigation reveals it was the
-	docs that were incorrect.
-
-	* doc/BoolObj.3:	Corrections to the documentation of
-	Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj to bring it into agreement with what this public
-	interface has always done, including noting the difference in function
-	between Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj and Tcl_GetBoolean.
-
-	* generic/tclGet.c:	Revised Tcl_GetBoolean to no longer be a
-	wrapper around Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj (different function!).
-
-	* generic/tclObj.c:	Removed TclGetTruthValueFromObj routine that
-	was added yesterday. Revisions so that only Tcl_GetBoolean-approved
-	values get the "boolean" Tcl_ObjType. This retains the fix for [Bug
-	1187123].

-
-	* doc/GetInt.3:	Convert argument "string" to "str" to agree with code.
-	Also clarified a few details on int and double formats.
-	* generic/tclGet.c:	Radical code simplification. Converted
-	Tcl_GetFoo() routines into wrappers around Tcl_GetFooFromObj(). Reduces
-	code duplication, and the resulting potential for inconsistency.
-
-	* generic/tclObj.c:	Several changes:
-
-	- Re-ordered error detection code so all values with trailing garbage
-	  receive a "not an integer" message instead of an "integer too large"
-	  message.
-	- Removed inactive code meant to deal with strtoul* routines that fail
-	  to parse leading signs. All of them do, and if any are detected that
-	  do not, the correct fix is replacement with compat/strtoul*.c, not a
-	  lot of special care by the callers.
-	- Tcl_GetDoubleFromObj now avoids shimmering away a "wideInt" intrep.
-	- Fixed Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj to agree with its documentation and with
-	  Tcl_GetBoolean, accepting only "0" and "1" and not other numeric
-	  strings. [Bug 1187123]
-	- Added new private routine TclGetTruthValueFromObj to perform the more
-	  permissive conversion of numeric values to boolean that is needed by
-	  the [expr] machinery.
-
-	* generic/tclInt.h (TclGetTruthValueFromObj):	New routine.
-	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Updated callers to call new routine.
-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Updated callers to call new routine.
-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:	Updated callers to call new routine.
-	* generic/tclDictObj.c:	Updated callers to call new routine.
-	* tests/obj.test:	Corrected bad tests that actually expected
-	values like "47" and "0xac" to be accepted as booleans.
-
-	* generic/tclLiteral.c: Disabled the code that forces some literals
-	into the "int" Tcl_ObjType during registration. We can re-enable it if
-	this change causes trouble, but it seems more sensible to let Tcl's
-	"on-demand" shimmering rule, and not try to pre-guess things.

-
-	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	Several changes to the way the
-	encodingFileMap cache is maintained. Previously, it was attempted to
-	keep the file map filled and up to date with changes in the encoding
-	search path. This contributed to slow startup times since it required
-	an expensive "glob" operation to fill the cache. Now the validity of
-	items in the cache are checked at the time they are used, so the cache
-	is permitted to fall out of sync with the encoding search path. Only

+	* win/Makefile.in:

+

+2006-09-12  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

+

+	* unix/configure.in (HAVE_MTSAFE_GETHOST*): Modified to recognize

+	  HP-UX 11.00 and beyond as having mt-safe implementations of the

+	  gethost functions.

+	* unix/configure: Regenerated, using autoconf 2.59

+

+	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c (PadBuffer): Fixed bug in calculation of

+	  the increment needed to align the pointer, and added

+	  documentation explaining why the macro is implemented as it is.

+

+2006-09-11  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* win/rules.vc:    Updated to install http, tcltest and msgcat as

+	* win/makefile.vc: Tcl Modules (as per Makefile.in).

+	* win/makefile.vc: Added tommath_(super)class headers.

+

+2006-09-11  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

+

+

+2006-09-11  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: make compatLock static and only declare it when

+	it will actually be used; #ifdef parts of TSD that are not always

+	needed; adjust #ifdefs to cover all possible cases; fix whitespace.

+

+2006-09-11  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

+

+	* tests/msgcat.test: Bumped version in auxiliary files as well.

+	* doc/msgcat.n: 

+

+2006-09-11  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* unix/Makefile.in:	Bumped msgcat version to 1.4.2 to be

+	* win/Makefile.in:	consistent with dgp's commits of 2006-09-10.

+	

+2006-09-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:	Removed some unneeded [uplevel]s.

+

+2006-09-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:		Corrected INST_EXPON flaw that treated

+	* tests/expr.test:		$x**1 as $x**3.  [Bug 1555371]

+

+	* doc/tcltest.n:		Bump to version tcltest 2.3.0 to account

+	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:	for new "-verbose line" feature.

+

+2006-09-10  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl (msgcat::Init): on Darwin, add fallback of

+	* tests/msgcat.test:                        default msgcat locale to

+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetVariables):    current CFLocale identifier

+	if available (via private ::tcl::mac::locale global, set at interp init

+	when on Mac OS X 10.3 or later with CoreFoundation).

+

+	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: add 'line' verbose level: prints source

+	* doc/tcltest.n:               file line information of failing tests.

+

+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: add new tclUnixCompat.c file;

+	revise tests target to use new tcltest 'line' verbose level.

+

+	* unix/configure.in: add descriptions to new AC_DEFINEs for MT-safe.

+	* unix/tcl.m4: add caching to new SC_TCL_* macros for MT-safe wrappers.

+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59

+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59

+

+2006-09-08  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: Added fallback to gethostbyname()

+	and gethostbyaddr() if the implementation is known to be

+	MT-safe (currently for Darwin 6 or later only).

+

+	* unix/configure.in: Assume gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr()

+	are MT-safe starting with Darwin 6 (Mac OSX 10.2).

+

+	* unix/configure: Regenerated with autoconf V2.59

+

+2006-09-08  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

+

+	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: Fixed conditions for CopyArray/CopyString,

+	  and CopyHostent. Also fixed bad var names in TclpGetHostByName.

+

+2006-09-07  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: Added fallback to MT-unsafe

+	library calls if TCL_THREADS is not defined.

+	Fixed alignment of arrays copied by CopyArrayi() to be

+	on the sizeof(char *) boundary.

+

+2006-09-07  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c   Rewritten MT-safe wrappers to

+	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c return ptrs to TSD storage

+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c   making them all look like their

+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h   MT-unsafe pendants API-wise.

+	* unix/tclUnixSock.c   

+

+2006-09-06  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: Added TCL_THREADS ifdef'ed  usage

+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: of MT-safe calls like: 

+	* unix/tclUnixSock.c: getpwuid, getpwnam, getgrgid, getgrnam,

+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr.

+	* unix/Makefile.in:   See Tcl Bug: 999544

+	* unix/configure.in:

+	* unix/tcl.m4:

+	* unix/configure: Regenerated.

+

+	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: New file containing MT-safe implementation

+	of some library calls.

+

+2006-09-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Removed much complexity that is

+	no longer needed.

+

+	* tests/main.text (Tcl_Main-4.4):	Test corrected to not be

+	timing sensitive to the Bug 1481986 fix. [Bug 1550858]

+

+2006-09-04  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+

+	* doc/package.n: correct package example

+

+2006-08-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Corrected flawed logic for

+	disabling the INST_TRY_CVT_TO_NUMERIC instruction at the end

+	of an expression when function arguments contain operators.

+	[Bug 1541274]

+

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

+	* tests/expr.test:	[Bug 1381715] are all new in Tcl 8.5, so

+	there's really no issue of compatibility with Tcl 8.4 result to

+	deal with.  Fixed by updating tests to expect 8.5 results.

+

+2006-08-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Dropped the old expr parser.

+

+2006-08-30  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): init iPtr->threadId

+

+	* win/tclWinChan.c [Bug 819667] Improve logic for identifying COM

+	ports.

+

+	* generic/tclIOGT.c (ExecuteCallback): 

+	* generic/tclPkg.c (Tcl_PkgRequireEx): replace Tcl_GlobalEval(Obj)

+	with more efficient Tcl_Eval(Obj)Ex

+

+	* unix/Makefile.in (valgrindshell): add valgrindshell target and

+	update default VALGRINDARGS.  User can override, or add to it with

+	VALGRIND_OPTS env var.

+

+	* generic/tclFileName.c (DoGlob): match incrs with decrs.

+

+2006-08-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Use the "parent" field of

+	orphan ExprNodes to store the closure of left pointers.  This

+	lets us avoid repeated re-scanning leftward for the left

+	boundary of subexpressions, which in worst case led to near

+	O(N^2) runtime.

+

+2006-08-29  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>

+

+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: Fixed the issue (typo) that was causing

+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpThreadGetStackSize): stack.test to

+	fail on FreeBSD (and possibly other Unix platforms).

+

+2006-08-29  Colin McCormack  <coldstore@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:  Added test for NULL return 

+	* generic/tclPathObj.c: from Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath

+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:   which was causing segv's per

+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:     Bug 1548263

+	* win/tclWinFile.c:

+

+2006-08-28  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* library/tzdata/America/Havana:      Regenerated from Olson's

+	* library/tzdata/America/Tegucigalpa: tzdata2006k.

+	* library/tzdata/Asia/Gaza:

+	

+2006-08-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Revised ObjPrintfVA to take care

+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	to copy only whole characters when

+	doing %s formatting.  This relieves callers of TclObjPrintf() and

+	TclFormatToErrorInfo() from needing to fix arguments to character

+	boundaries.  Tcl_ParseExpr() simplified by taking advantage.

+	[Bug 1547786]

+

+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Corrected TclFormatObj's failure

+	to count up the number of arguments required by examining the

+	format string.  [Bug 1547681]

+

+2006-08-27  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>

+

+	* generic/tclClock.c (ClockClicksObjCmd): Fix nested macro breakage

+	with TCL_MEM_DEBUG enabled. [Bug 1547662]

+

+2006-08-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* doc/namespace.n:

+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:

+	* tests/upvar.test: bugfix, docs clarification and new tests for

+	[namespace upvar] as follow up to [Bug 1546833], reported by Will

+	Duquette. 

+

+2006-08-24  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* library/tzdata: Regenerated, including several new files,

+	from Olson's tzdata2006j.

+	* library/clock.tcl: 

+	* tests/clock.test: Removed an early testing hack that allowed

+	loading 'registry' from the build tree rather than an installed

+	one.  This is a workaround for [Bug 15232730], which remains open

+	because it's a symptom of a deeper underlying problem.

+

+2006-08-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Minimal collection of new tests

+	* tests/parseExpr.test:		testing the error messages of the

+	new expr parser.  Several bug fixes and code simplifications that

+	appeared during that effort.

+

+2006-08-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:	Revisions to complete the thread finalization

+	of the cwdPathPtr.  [Bug 1536142]

+

+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Revised mistaken call to

+	TclCheckBadOctal(), so both [expr 08] and [expr 08z] have same

+	additional info in error message.

+

+	* tests/compExpr-old.test:	Update existing tests to not fail

+	* tests/compExpr.test:		with the new expr parser.

+	* tests/compile.test:

+	* tests/expr-old.test:

+	* tests/expr.test:

+	* tests/for.test:

+

+2006-08-21  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* win/Makefile.in (gdb): Make this target work so that debugging an

+	msys build is possible.

+

+2006-08-21  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): if the run loop is

+	already running (e.g. if Tcl_WaitForEvent was called recursively),

+	re-run it in a custom run loop mode containing only the source for the

+	notifier thread, otherwise wakeups from other sources added to the

+	common run loop modes might get lost.

+

+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): on 64-bit Darwin,

+	pthread_cond_timedwait() appears to have a bug that causes it to wait

+	forever when passed an absolute time which has already been exceeded by

+	the system time; as a workaround, when given a very brief timeout, just

+	do a poll on that platform. [Bug 1457797]

+

+	* generic/tclClock.c (ClockClicksObjCmd): add support for Darwin

+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TimeObjCmd):    nanosecond resolution timer

+	* generic/tclInt.h:                       to [clock clicks] and [time]

+	* unix/configure.in (Darwin):             when TCL_WIDE_CLICKS defined.

+	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (TclpGetWideClicks, TclpWideClicksToNanoseconds):

+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59

+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59

+

+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h (Darwin): override potentially faulty configure

+	detection of termios availability in all cases, since termios is known

+	to be present on all Mac OS X releases since 10.0. [Bug 497147]

+

+2006-08-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add support for --enable-64bit on x86_64, for

+	universal builds including x86_64, for 64-bit CoreFoundation on Leopard

+	and for use of -mmacosx-version-min instead of MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET

+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59

+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59

+

+	* generic/tcl.h:          add fixes for building on Leopard and support

+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:     for 64-bit CoreFoundation on Leopard.

+	* macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c:

+

+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: on Darwin x86_64, disable use of vfork as it

+	causes execve to fail intermittently. (rdar://4685553)

+

+	* generic/tclTomMath.h: on Darwin 64-bit, for now disable use of

+	128-bit arithmetic through __attribute__ ((mode(TI))), as it leads to

+	link errors due to missing fallbacks. (rdar://4685527)

+

+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: add x86_64 to universal build,

+	switch native release targets to use DWARF with dSYM, Xcode 3.0 changes

+	* macosx/README: updates for x86_64 and Xcode 2.4.

+

+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/default.pbxuser: add test suite target that runs

+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: the tcl test suite at build

+	time and shows clickable test suite errors in the GUI build window.

+

+	* tests/macOSXFCmd.test: fix use of deprecated resource fork paths.

+

+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): move code that is only

+	needed when TCL_LIBRARY is defined to run only in that case.

+

+	* generic/tclLink.c (LinkTraceProc): fix 64-bit signed-with-unsigned

+	comparison warning from gcc4 -Wextra.

+

+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclUnixWaitForFile): with timeout < 0, if

+	select() returns early (e.g. due to a signal), call it again instead of

+	returning a timeout result. Fixes intermittent event-13.8 failures.

+

+2006-08-17  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclCompile.c:		Revised the new set of expression parse

+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	error messages.

+

+2006-08-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Replace PrecedenceOf() function with

+	prec[] static array.

+

+2006-08-14  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* library/clock.tcl (::tcl::clock::add): Added missing braces to

+	clockval validation code. Pointed out on comp.lang.tcl.

+

+2006-08-11  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* generic/tclNamesp.c: Improvements in buffer management to make

+	namespace creation faster. Plus selected other minor improvements to

+	code quality. [Patch 1352382]

+

+2006-08-10  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	Misc patches to make code more efficient. [Bug 1530474] (afredd)

+	* generic/*.c, macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c, unix/tclUnixNotfy.c,

+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Tidy up invokations of Tcl_Panic() to promote

+	string constant sharing and consistent style.

+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): More efficient handling of

+	* generic/tclClock.c (TclClockInit):     registration of commands not

+						 in global namespace.

+	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UnsetObjCmd): Remove unreachable clause.

+

+2006-08-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+        * generic/tclEncoding.c:        Replace buffer copy in for loop

+        with call to memcpy().  Thanks to afredd. [Patch 1530262]

+

+2006-08-09  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LassignObjCmd): Make the wrong#args message a

+	bit more consistent with those used elsewhere. [Bug 1534628]

+

+	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictForCmd): Stop crash when attempting to

+	iterate over an invalid dictionary. [Bug 1531184]

+

+	* doc/ParseCmd.3, doc/expr.n, doc/set.n, doc/subst.n, doc/switch.n:

+	* doc/tclvars.n: Ensure that uses of [expr] in documentation examples

+	are also good style (with braces) unless otherwise necessary. [Bug

+	1526581]

+

+2006-08-03  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): for USE_VFORK: ensure

+	standard channels are initialized before vfork() so that the child

+	doesn't potentially corrupt global state in the parent's address space.

+

+	* tests/compExpr-old.test: add 'oldExprParser' constraint to all tests

+	* tests/compExpr.test:     that depend on the exact format of the error

+	* tests/compile.test:      messages of the pre-2006-07-05 expression

+	* tests/expr-old.test:     parser. The constraint is on by default (i.e

+	* tests/expr.test:         those tests still fail), but can be turned

+	* tests/for.test:          off by passing '-constraints newExprParser'

+	* tests/if.test:           to tcltest, which will skip the 196 failing

+	* tests/parseExpr.test:    tests in the testsuite that are caused by

+	* tests/while.test:        the new expression parser error messages.

+

+2006-07-31  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* generic/tclClock.c (ConvertLocalToUTCUsingC): Corrected a regression

+	that caused dates before 1969 to be one day off in the :localtime time

+	zone if TZ is not set. [Bug 1531530]

+

+2006-07-30  Kevin 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.

+	* 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.

+	* tests/clock.test: Rebuilt with new test cases for all the above.

+

+2006-07-30  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* doc/AppInit.3: Fix typo [Bug 1496886]

+

+2006-07-26  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Corrected flawed overflow detection in

+	* tests/expr.test:	INST_EXPON that caused [expr 2**64] to return 0

+	instead of the same value as [expr 1<<64].

+

+2006-07-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* win/tclWinSock.c:	Correct un-initialized Tcl_DString. Thanks to

+	afredd. [Bug 1518166]

+

+2006-07-21  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+

+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/tclUnixInit.c (Tcl_GetEncodingNameFromEnvironment): importing

+	symbols not available on OSX 10.2 or 10.3, enables binaires built on

+	later OSX versions to run on earlier ones.

+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: enable weak-linking; turn on

+	                                        extra warnings.

+	* macosx/README: document how to enable weak-linking; cleanup.

+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: add support for weak-linking; conditionalize

+	AvailabilityMacros.h inclusion; only disable realpath on 10.2 or earlier

+	when threads are enabled.

+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadMemoryGetBuffer): change runtime Darwin

+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform):        release check to use

+	                                                global initialized once.

+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, TclpObjNormalizePath): add runtime

+	Darwin release check to determine if realpath is threadsafe.

+	* unix/configure.in: add check on Darwin for compiler support of weak

+	* unix/tcl.m4:       import and for AvailabilityMacros.h header;

+	move Darwin specific checks & defines that are only relevant to the tcl

+	build out of tcl.m4; restrict framework option to Darwin; cleanup

+	quoting and help messages.

+	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): fix signed-with-unsigned

+	comparison and other warnings from gcc4 -Wextra.

+

+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

+	exclude realpath, causing file normalize to ignore symbolic links in

+	the path.

+

+2006-07-11  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* 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 for MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED

+	define from AvailabilityMacros.h: override configure detection and only

+	use API available in the indicated OS version or earlier.

+

+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

+

+2006-05-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_SYSTEM): Fixed quoting of command script to

+	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. This

+	fixes [Bug 1482718]. Note that the fix will not be effective for code

+	that calls the private routine TclProcCompileProc() directly.

+

+2006-05-13  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclEvent.c (HandleBgErrors): fix leak. [Coverity issue 86]

+

+2006-05-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* 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].

+

+2006-04-19  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c: Added code to support the "middle endian"

+	floating point format used in the Nokia N770's software-based floating

+	point. Thanks to Bruce Johnson for reporting this bug, originally on

+	http://wiki.tcl.tk/15408.

+	* library/clock.tcl: Fixed a bug with Daylight Saving Time and Posix

+	time zone specifiers reported by Martin Lemburg in

+	http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/browse_thread/thread/9a8b15a4dfc0b7a0

+

+2006-04-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+

+	* generic/tclRegexp.c (FinalizeRegexp): full reset data to indicate

+	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]

+

+	* tests/compExpr-old.test:	Updated testmathfunctions constraint

+	* tests/compExpr.test:		to post-TIP-232 world.

+	* tests/expr-old.test:

+

+2006-04-06  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* unix/tcl.m4: removed TCL_IO_TRACK_OS_FOR_DRIVER_WITH_BAD_BLOCKING

+	define on Darwin. [Bug 1457515]

+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59

+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59

+

+2006-04-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* win/tclWinInit.c:	More careful calls to Tcl_DStringSetLength()

+	* win/tclWinSock.c:	to avoid creating invalid DString states.

+	* win/tclWinDde.c:	Bump to version 1.3.2. [RFE 1366195]

+	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:

+

+	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl:	Bump to registry 1.2 because

+	* win/tclWinReg.c:	Registry_Unload() is a new public routine

+	* win/Makefile.in:	compared to the 1.1.* releases.

+

+	* win/configure.in:	Bump package version numbers.

+	* win/configure:	autoconf 2.59

+

+2006-04-05  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

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

+	strings to be matched by the Tcl_GetIndexFromObj machinery, in the

+	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): [Bug 1462248]. 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.

+

+	* 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>

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c: remove unused var and silence gcc warning

+

+2006-03-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+

+2006-03-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* changes:	Updates for another RC.

+

+	* generic/tclPathObj.c:	 More fixes for path normalization when /../

+	* tests/fileSystem.test: tries to go beyond root.[Bug 1379287]

+

+	only when necessary.

+

+2006-03-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+

+	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): change panics to Tcl errors and

+	do proper refcounting of noe objPtr. [bug 1194429]

+

+	* unix/tcl.m4, win/tcl.m4: []-quote AC_DEFUN functions.

+

+2006-03-28  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* macosx/Tcl.xcode/default.pbxuser:     add '-singleproc 1' cli arg to

+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/default.pbxuser: tcltest to ease test debugging

+

+	* macosx/Tcl.xcode/project.pbxproj:     removed $prefix/share from

+	to unix/configure.in of 2006-03-13.

+

+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TclpObjNormalizePath): deal with *BSD/Darwin

+	realpath() converting relative paths into absolute paths. [Bug 1064247]

+2006-03-27  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* win/tclWinTest.c:     Fixes for [Bug 1456373] (mingw-gcc issue)

+

+2006-03-27  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

+

+	* doc/CrtChannel.3:    Added TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_5, made it the version

+	* generic/tcl.h:       where the "truncateProc" is defined at, and

+	* generic/tclIO.c:     moved all channel drivers of Tcl to v5.

+	* generic/tclIOGT.c, generic/tclIORChan.c, unix/tclUnixChan.c:

+	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c, win/tclWinChan.c, win/tclWinConsole.c:

+	* win/tclWinPipe.c, win/tclWinSerial.c, win/tclWinSock.c:

+

+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>

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Corrections to INST_EXPON detection of overflow

+	to use mp_int calculations.

+

+2006-03-24  Kevin 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 now

+	be built from the tcl source distribution with "rpmbuild -tb <tarball>"

+

+2006-03-22  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

+

+	* tests/stack.test: Run the stack tests in subshells, so that they are

+	reported as failed tests rather than bugs in the test suite if the

+	recursion causes a segfault.

+

+2006-03-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* changes:	Updates for another RC.

+

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	One of the branches of AccumulateDecimalDigit

+	* tests/parseExpr.test:	did not. [Bug 1451233]

+

+

+2006-03-21  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* 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]

+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:    and [file attributes]; fix globbing for

+	hidden files with pattern==NULL arg. [Bug 823329]

+	* 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:

+	* tests/winFCmd.test: Cleanup of some test constraint handling, and a

+	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).

+

+	* doc/refchan.n: New file. Documentation of the command handler API for

+	reflected channels (TIP #219).

+

+2006-03-17  Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>

+

+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: Include pthread.h prior to pthread_np.h [Bug

+	1444692]

+

+	* win/tclWinTest.c: Corrected typo of 'initializeMutex' that prevented

+	successful compilation.

+

+2006-03-16  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

+

+	* doc/open.n: Documented the changed behaviour of 'a'ppend mode.

+

+	* tests/io.test (io-43.1 io-44.[1234]): Rewritten to be self-contained

+	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. [Bug 1448251]. Thanks

+	to Julian Noble.

+

+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>

+

+	* win/tclWinFile.c: fix to 'file writable' in certain XP directories.

+2006-03-07  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* unix/tcl.m4: Set SHLIB_LD_FLAGS='${LIBS}' on NetBSD, as per the other

+	*BSD variants [Bug 1334613].

+	* unix/configure: Regenerated.

+

+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

+	* tests/parse.test:     simplify TclEvalObjvInternal and to correct 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/tclIORChan.c:	interp == NULL arguments. [Bug 1380662]

+	* 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>

+

+	* doc/Encoding.3, doc/encoding.n: Updates due to review at request of

+	Don Porter. Mostly minor changes.

+

+2006-02-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	TIP#258 IMPLEMENTATION

+

+	* doc/Encoding.3:	New subcommand [encoding dirs].

+	* doc/encoding.n:	New routine Tcl_GetEncodingNameFromEnvironment

+	* generic/tcl.decls:	Made public:

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	TclGetEncodingFromObj

+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:		-> Tcl_GetEncodingFromObj

+	* generic/tclEncoding.c:TclGetEncodingSearchPath

+	* generic/tclInt.decls:		-> Tcl_GetEncodingSearchPath

+	* generic/tclInt.h:	TclSetEncodingSearchPath

+	* generic/tclTest.c:		-> Tcl_SetEncodingSearchPath

+	* library/init.tcl:	Removed commands:

+	* tests/cmdAH.test:		[tcl::unsupported::EncodingDirs]

+	* tests/encoding.test:		[testencoding path] (Tcltest)

+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:	[Patch 1413934].

+	* win/tclWinInit.c:

+

+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	make genstubs

+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:

+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

+

+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].

+	* doc/uplevel.n:

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:

+	* generic/tclInt.h:

+	* tests/apply.test: (New file)

+	* tests/proc-old.test:

+	* tests/proc.test:

+	* doc/namespace.n:	routines Tcl_(Get|Set)NamespaceUnknownHandler.

+	* doc/unknown.n:	[Patch 958222].

+	* generic/tcl.decls:

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:

+	* generic/tclInt.h:

+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:

+	* tests/namespace.test:

+

+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	make genstubs

+	* generic/tclInt.h:

+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:

+	* generic/tclVar.c:

+	* tests/upvar.test:

+

+2006-01-26  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

+

+	* doc/dict.n: Fixed silly bug in example. Thanks to Heiner Marxen

+	<heiner.marxen@unsel.de> for catching this! [Bug 1415725]

+

+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 [Bug 1410553]. Thanks to twylite and Peter Spjuth.

+

+	* 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.

+

+2005-12-30  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* generic/tclStubLib.c: Corrected a typo in "missing Stubs table

+	pointer."

+

+2005-12-27  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* generic/tcl.decls:  Destubbed TclTomMathInitializeStubs - it is in

+	* generic/tcl.h:      the stub library, not the main shared

+	* generic/tclBasic.c: library. Exported Tcl_InitBignumFromDouble.

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:

+	* generic/tclInt.h:

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:

+

+	* generic/tclDecls.h:

+	* generic/tclStubLib.c:

+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regenerated.

+

+	* generic/clock.tcl: Reverted to using the time zone abbreviation and

+	not its name to "stop the bleeding" on [Bug 1386377]. This is *not* a

+	good long-term solution, but there may not be one.

+

+	* libtommath/bn_mp_sqrt.c: Improved the initial approximation to the

+	square root, roughly doubling the speed of the routine. (This is a

+	local change that needs to be communicated to Tom.)

+

+	* win/Makefile.in: Corrected a bug where tommath_class.h and

+	tommath_superclass.h were not installed, making it impossible for

+	client code to compile against the tommath stubs.

+

+	* library/tzdata: Updated to Olson's tzdata2005r. (Latest changes to

+	Daylight Saving Time in Canada, plus redefinition of the Posix-style

+	zones [e.g., EST5EDT] to be locale-independent.)

+

+	* libtommath: Updated to Tom St.Denis's release 0.37.

+

+2005-12-20  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (Tcl_GetMemoryInfo): Format values as longs

+	and not ints, so they are less likely to wrap on 64-bit machines.

+

+2005-12-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	Modified [string is double] to use

+	* tests/string.test:	TclParseNumber() to parse trailing whitespace.

+	Ensures consistency, and makes it easier to cleanup after invalid

+	internal reps left behind by parsing [Bugs 1360532 1382287].

+

+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Added TCL_PARSE_NO_WHITESPACE to

+	* generic/tclScan.c:	TclParseNumber() calls since [scan] and [expr]

+	* tests/scan.test:	parsing don't want spaces in parsed numbers.

+

+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Added TCL_PARSE_NO_WHITESPACE flag to the

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	TclParseNumber() interface.

+

+2005-12-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* doc/Tcl.n: Clarify what is going on in variable substitution

+	following thread on comp.lang.tcl.

+

+2005-12-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictCmd): Ensure that we only do an

+	'endCatch' when there's a preceding 'beginCatch'. [Bug 1382528] Many

+	thanks to Anton Kovalenko for finding this and pointing out that it was

+	a catch stack handling problem!

+

+2005-12-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: workaround gcc warning "comparison is always

+	* generic/tclTest.c:   false due to limited range of data type".

+

+	* macosx/Tcl.xcode/project.pbxproj:

+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj:

+	* unix/Makefile.in: add new tclTomMath* files.

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c: replace panic with Tcl_Panic.

+

+2005-12-13  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* generic/tcl.decls:    Added changes to export an additional stubs

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:   table to represent the 'libtommath' routines

+	* generic/tclDecls.h:   that Tcl uses and export them to callers.

+	* generic/tclInt.decls: Reran 'genstubs'

+	* generic/tclInt.h:

+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:

+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:

+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

+	* generic/tclStubLib.c:

+	* generic/tclTomMath.decls:

+	* generic/tclTomMath.h:

+	* generic/tclTomMathDecls.h:

+	* generic/tclTomMathInterface.c:

+	* generic/tommath.h:

+	* tools/fix_tommath_h.tcl:

+	* unix/Makefile.in:

+	* win/Makefile.in:

+	* win/makefile.vc:

+

+	* generic/tclClock.c:   Made changes to silence a number of compiler

+	* generic/tclIO.c:	warnings when building with mingw.

+	* generic/tclIORChan.c:

+	* generic/tclLink.c:

+	* generic/tclListObj.c:

+	* generic/tclObj.c:

+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:

+	* generic/tclProc.c:

+	* generic/tclTimer.c:

+	* win/tclWinChan.c:

+	* win/tclWinConsole.c:

+	* win/tclWinDde.c:

+	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:

+	* win/tclWinFile.c:

+	* win/tclWinReg.c:

+	* win/tclWinSock.c:

+

+2005-12-13  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC:DICT_FIRST,DICT_DONE): Only decrease the

+	references to the dictionary once the iteration completes. Do this by

+	storing the dict in the iterator context variable. [Bug 1379349] Thanks

+	to Ulrich Ring and Tobias Hippler for finding this.

+

+2005-12-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+

+	* unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: Fix sh quoting error reported in

+	bash-3.1+ [Bug 1377619] (schafer)

+

+2005-12-12  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* doc/mathfunc.n: Changed two examples from the incorrect 'tcl::math::'

+	to 'tcl::mathfunc::' [Bug 1378818]

+

+2005-12-09  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* win/configure: Regen.

+	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Define MACHINE for gcc builds. The

+	lack of a definition of this variable in the manifest file was causing

+	a runtime error in wish built with gcc.

+

+2005-12-09  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* tests/lsearch.test (lsearch-10.8..10):  If the -start is off the end,

+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): searching should find nothing

+	at all. [Bug 1374778]

+

+2005-12-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+

+	* win/Makefile.in, win/makefile.vc: Add Win x64 and CE build support

+	* win/tcl.m4, win/configure:        CE still requires C code fixes.

+

+	* generic/tcl.h: use struct __stat64 (not _stat64) for MSC_VER >= 1400

+	(i.e. latest Platform SDK).

+

+2005-12-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* doc/socket.n: Cross-referenced the socket documentation better to the

+	fconfigure documentation on the topic of asynch sockets.

+	* doc/fconfigure.n: Added keyword to documentation of -blocking option

+	so that people looking for "asynch" can find it as well.

+

+2005-12-05  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h (Darwin): fix incorrect __DARWIN_UNIX03 configure

+	overrides that were originally copied from Darwin CVS (rdar://3693001)

+

+2005-12-05  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* tools/tclZIC.tcl: Updated to reflect changes in calling sequence when

+	GetJulianDateFromEraYearMonthDay moved to C.

+	* library/tzdata: Regenerated from Olson's tzdata2005p.tar.gz - the

+	'systemv' changes appear not to affect Tcl's processing of the dates.

+

+2005-12-05  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* unix/configure.in: move check for fts API to configure.in and run it

+	* unix/tcl.m4:       on all platforms, since Linux glibc2 and *BSDs

+	also have this; using fts is more efficient than a recursive

+	opendir/readdir.

+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TraverseUnixTree): add support to fts code for

+	platforms with stat64.

+	* unix/configure:

+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: regen.

+

+2005-12-05  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+

+	* unix/configure:     Use fts file API on Darwin if available.

+	* unix/tcl.m4:        Addresses file delete issues in readdir noted

+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: in [Bug 1034337]. (steffen)

+	Remove redundant stat call for each file in DoCopyFile. (steffen)

+

+2005-12-02  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* generic/tclClock.c: Moved a tiny bit more of [clock format] from run

+	* library/clock.tcl: time to compile time, and fixed a l10n bug in the

+	process. [Bug 1371446]. Also, conditoned the call to SetupTimeZone to

+	speed the common case where TZData($timezone) already exists, and

+	achieved a puny speedup by making ::tcl::clock::getenv not throw

+	errors.

+	* unix/Makefile.in: Made some changes to support a 'make' command that

+	is present on some antiquated versions of Solaris.

+

+2005-12-01  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* library/clock.tcl: Continued rationalizing the code, eliminating

+	numerous redundant [mc] calls. Added another time boost by precompiling

+	a [::format] command to do the bulk of the work of [clock format].

+

+2005-12-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* unix/Makefile.in: Add remaining dependency info. While automated

+	maintenance of this information would be good, having it at all is much

+	better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick...

+

+2005-12-01  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclClock.c: fix warning.

+

+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): fix error when MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET unset

+	* unix/configure: regen.

+

+2005-11-30  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* unix/Makefile.in: Add dependency information relating to tclCompile.h

+	since when the list of opcodes changes it is usually useful to rebuild

+	everything that depends on it (but which is nonetheless a small

+	fraction of the total set of Tcl source files).

+

+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for bytecode savers/loaders. See below

+

+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Arrange for very simple

+	[switch] invokations to be compiled into hash lookups into jump tables;

+	only a very specific kind of [switch] can be safely compiled this way,

+	but that happens to be the most common kind. This makes around 5-10%

+	difference to the speed of execution of clock.test.

+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC:INST_JUMP_TABLE): New instruction to allow

+	for jumps to locations looked up in a hashtable. Requires a new AuxData

+	type, tclJumptableInfoType (supported by the functions DupJumptableInfo

+	and FreeJumptableInfo in tclCompCmds.c) so anything that saves bytecode

+	containing this *must* be updated!

+

+2005-11-30  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* generic/tclClock.c: Fixed a bad refcount in previous commit that led

+	to a corrupted heap. Also silenced a warning that some compilers gave

+	about the excessively long constant for JULIAN_SEC_POSIX_EPOCH. Also

+	fixed a bug where [clock format] would fail in the :localtime zone for

+	times before the Posix Epoch. Thanks to Miguel Sofer for pointing out

+	all of these. Also rationalized the code a little bit by moving parts

+	of [clock scan] into C, eliminating some code that was duplicated in

+	the C and Tcl layers.

+

+2005-11-29  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Moved a big part of [clock format] down

+	* generic/tclClock.c:   to the C level in order to make it go faster.

+	* generic/tclInt.h:     Preliminary measurements suggest that it

+	* generic/clock.tcl:    more than doubles in speed with this change.

+

+2005-11-29  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): Allow [lsearch -regexp] to

+	process REs that contain backreferences. This expensive mode of

+	operation is only used if the RE would otherwise cause a compilation

+	failure. [Bug 1366683]

+

+2005-11-28  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* tools/tclZIC.tcl (convertTimeOfDay): Corrected a typo that caused

+	wrong DST transitions in any time zone where the transition is

+	specified as local Standard Time (as opposed to wall-clock or UTC).

+	(Also updated the code to be bignum-safe.)

+	* tests/clock.test (clock-51.1): Added regression test for the above.

+	* library/tzdata: Updated to Olson's 'tzdata2005o' (changes for Cuba,

+	Nicaragua, Jordan, and Georgia) and regenerated. Thanks to Paul

+	Mackerras for reporting this problem.

+

+2005-11-27  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add 64bit support, check for Tiger copyfile(),

+	add CFLAGS to SHLIB_LD to support passing -isysroot in env(CFLAGS) to

+	configure (flag can't be present twice, so can't be in both CFLAGS and

+	LDFLAGS during configure), don't use -prebind when deploying on 10.4,

+	define TCL_IO_TRACK_OS_FOR_DRIVER_WITH_BAD_BLOCKING (rdar://3171542).

+	(SC_ENABLE_LANGINFO, SC_TIME_HANDLER): add/fix caching, fix obsolete

+	autoconf macros. Sync with tk/unix/tcl.m4.

+

+	* unix/configure.in: fix obsolete autoconf macros, sync gratuitous

+	formatting/ordering differences with tk/unix/configure.in.

+

+	* unix/Makefile.in: add CFLAGS to tclsh/tcltest link to make executable

+	linking the same as during configure (needed to avoid losing any linker

+	relevant flags in CFLAGS, in particular flags that cannot be in

+	LDFLAGS). Avoid concurrent linking of tclsh and compiling of

+	tclTestInit.o or xtTestInit.o during parallel make.

+	(checkstubs, checkdoc, checkexports): dependency and Darwin fixes

+	(dist): add new macosx files.

+

+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpDlopen): use NSADDIMAGE_OPTION_WITH_SEARCHING

+	on second NSAddImage only. [Bug 1204237]

+	(TclGuessPackageName): should not be MODULE_SCOPE.

+	(TclpLoadMemory): ppc64 and endian (i386) fixes, add support for

+	loading universal (fat) bundles from memory.

+

+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:

+	* macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c: ppc64 and endian (i386) fixes.

+	(TclMacOSXCopyFileAttributes): add support for new Tiger copyfile() API

+	to enable copying of xattrs & ACLs by [file copy].

+

+	* generic/tcl.h: add Darwin specifc configure overrides for TCL_WIDE

+	defines to support fat compiles of ppc and ppc64 at the same time,

+	(replaces Darwin CVS fix by emoy, rdar://3693001). add/correct location

+	of version numbers in macosx files.

+

+	* generic/tclInt.h: clarify fat compile comment.

+

+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: add Darwin specifc configure overrides to support

+	fat compiles, where configure runs only once for multiple architectures

+	(replaces Darwin CVS fix by emoy, rdar://3693001).

+

+	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:

+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c:

+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:

+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: fix #include order to support compile time

+	override of HAVE_COREFOUNDATION in tclUnixPort.h when building for

+	ppc64

+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/default.pbxuser (new file):

+	* macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj (new file): new/updated

+	projects for Xcode 2.2 on 10.4, Xcode 1.5 on 10.3 & ProjectBuilder on

+	10.2, with native tcltest targets and support for universal (fat)

+	compiles.

+

+	* macosx/README: clarification/cleanup, document new Xcode projects and

+	universal (fat) builds via CFLAGS (i.e. all of ppc ppc64 i386 at once).

+

+	* unix/Makefile.in:

+	* unix/aclocal.m4:

+	* unix/configure.in:

+	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in:

+	* macosx/configure.ac (new file): add support for inclusion of

+	unix/configure.in by macosx/configure.ac, allows generation of a config

+	headers enabled configure script in macosx (required by Xcode

+	projects).

+

+	* macosx/GNUmakefile: rename from Makefile to avoid overwriting by

+	configure run in tcl/macosx, add support for reusing configure cache,

+	build target fixes, remove GENERIC_FLAGS override now handled by

+	tcl.m4.

+

+	* generic/tcl.decls: add Tcl_Main declaration as comment to avoid

+	'checkstubs' target complaining about it missing from stubs.

+

+	* generic/regex.h:

+	* generic/tclDate.c:

+	* generic/tclEnv.c:

+	* generic/tclGetDate.y:

+	* generic/tclTrace.c:

+	* generic/tclVar.c:

+	* generic/tommath.h:

+	* tools/fix_tommath_h.tcl:

+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: ensure externally visible symbols not contained

+	in stubs table are declared as MODULE_SCOPE (or as static if not used

+	outside of own source file). These changes allow 'make checkstubs' to

+	complete without error on Darwin with gcc 4.

+

+	* generic/rege_dfa.c (getvacant):

+	* generic/regexec.c (cfind):

+	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (CompileSubExpr):

+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceEnsembleCmd):

+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclUnixWaitForFile): initialise variables to

+	silence gcc 4 warnings.

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): fix unused variable

+	warning when NO_WIDE_TYPE is defined.

+

+	* generic/regguts.h: only #define NDEBUG if not already #defined.

+

+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:

+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: sync whitespace & comments.

+

+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:

+	* win/tclWinPort.h: remove declaration of obsolete&unused TclpMutex

+	API.

+

+	* unix/configure:

+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: regen.

+

+2005-11-21  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

+

+	* unix/Makefile.in (install-libraries): Updated Makefile to new

+	* win/Makefile.in (install-libraries):  version of the http package.

+	This fixes the ifneeded/provide mismatch reported when trying to

+	require http. Should we maybe try to automatically extract the version

+	number from the http code to prevent future breakage ?

+

+	This follows the update of the version number by dgp on Nov 15 (No

+	entry found in the ChangeLog).

+

+2005-11-20  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclStubLib.c: Don't set tclStubsPtr to 0 when

+	Tcl_PkgRequireEx() fails [Fix for [Bug 1091431] "Tcl_InitStubs failure

+	crashes wish"]

+

+2005-11-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* tests/trace.test (trace-34.5): [Bug 1047286], added a second test

+	illustrating the role of "ns in callStack" in the ns's visibility

+	during deletion traces.

+

+2005-11-18  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* doc/clock.n: Restored several missing lines near the %w format group

+	so that %w and %W are documented with their actual behaviour. [Bug

+	1359183]

+

+2005-11-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+

+	* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): preserve statePtr until we

+	retrieve the next statePtr from it.

+

+2005-11-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclObj.c (GetBignumFromObj): replace NULL with

+	tclEmptyStringRep to stop memcpy from complaining in a debug build

+	(the corresponding branch is eliminated by the optimiser otherwise).

+

+2005-11-18  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

+

+	* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): Applied Pat Thoyts' patch

+	for [Bug 1359094]. This moves the retrieval of the next channel state

+	to the end of the loop, as the called closeproc may close other

+	channels, i.e. modify the list we are iterating, invalidating any

+	pointer retrieved earlier.

+

+2005-11-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclListObj.c:	Restored the SetListFromAny routine to the

+	* generic/tclObj.c:	"list" Tcl_ObjType, and restored the

+	Tcl_RegisterObjType() call for "list". This addresses the needs of some

+	"bridge" extensions to examine whether the Tcl_ObjType of a Tcl_Obj is

+	that of the "list" Tcl_ObjType.

+

+2005-11-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): Improved syntactic validation

+	of URLs, and better error messages in some cases. [Bug 1358369]

+

+2005-11-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* tests/namespace.test: fix comment

+

+2005-11-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	More data in the "can't happen" Tcl_Panic to

+	aid debugging.

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c (CallCommandTraces): Save/restore the interp

+	result during traces to fix [Bug 1355342].

+

+2005-11-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclInt.h:

+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:

+	* tests/namespace.test: fix for [Bug 1354540] and [Bug 1355942]. The

+	new tests 7.3-6 and the modified 51.13 fail due to the unrelated [Bug

+	1355342]

+

+	* tests/trace.test: added tests 20.13-16 for [Bug 1355342]

+

+2005-11-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken):

+	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetCommandFromObj): more partial fixes for

+	[Bug 1354540] - making sure that cached references to a command being

+	deleted cannot be made reusable by a delete trace.

+

+2005-11-12  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindCommand): Do not find commands in dead

+	namespaces on the path. Partial fix for [Bug 1354540].

+

+2005-11-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Revised TclParseNumber interface to enable

+	* generic/tclScan.c:	revision to the [scan] command implementation

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	to permit tests scan-4.44,55 to pass again.

+	[Bug 1348067].

+

+2005-11-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken):

+	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetCommandFromObj): bump the cmd epoch early

+	to insure that cached references to this command are invalidated.

+	Partial fix for [Bug 1352734] - at least insures that namespace-51.13

+	does not cause a panic. The test is still marked as knownbug, pending

+	resolution of what is actually the correct return value ([Bug

+	1354540])

+

+2005-11-09  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* generic/tclTimer.c: Changed [after] so that it behaves correctly

+	* tests/timer.test:   with negative arguments [Bug 1350293] and

+	arguments that overflow a 32-bit word. [Bug 1350291]

+

+2005-11-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* tests/compile.test:	Updated tests with changed behavior

+	* tests/execute.test:	due to addition of bignums.

+	* tests/expr-old.test:

+	* tests/expr.test:

+	* tests/parseExpr.test:

+	* tests/platform.test:

+

+2005-11-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+

+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (MAX_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): reduce to 130

+	based on errors seen on OS X 10.3 with lots of links in a dir.

+	[Bug 1034337 followup]

+

+2005-11-09  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* unix/Makefile.in (gdb-test): Added a new target to make it easier to

+	run the test suite inside a debugger.

+

+2005-11-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* tests/compExpr-old.test:	Updated tests with changed behavior due

+	to addition of bignums.

+

+	* tests/expr.test:      Portable tests expr-46.13-18 [Bug 1341368]

+

+	* generic/tclPkg.c:	Corrected inconsistencies in the value returned

+	* tests/pkg.test:	by Tcl_PkgRequire(Ex) so that the returned

+	values will always agree with what is stored in the package database.

+	This way repeated calls to Tcl_PkgRequire(Ex) have the same results.

+	Thanks to Hemang Lavana. [Bug 1162286].

+

+2005-11-08  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TraceVarEx): Factor out heart of Tcl_TraceVar2

+	(TclTraceVariableObjCmd,TraceVarProc): Use the new internal API to

+	arrange for the clientData to be cleaned up at the same time as the

+	rest of the main trace record. This simplifies the code a bit at the

+	same time.

+

+2005-11-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* tests/trace.test (trace-13.2-4): added tests to detect leak, see [Bug

+	1348775]. The recently added trace-8.9 test is now 13.4.

+

+2005-11-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* tests/dict.test (dict-19.2): arrange for the stress testing code to

+	only stress test the dict code and not the trace code as well. [Bug

+	1342858]

+

+2005-11-05  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* tests/trace.test (trace-8.9): added test to detect leak, see [Bug

+	1348775].

+

+2005-11-04  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* win/tclWinPort.h:  Applied [Patch 1267871] by Matt Newman for

+	* win/tclWinPipe.c:  extended error code support on Windows.

+	* tests/exec.test:   Tests for extended error codes.

+	* generic/tclPipe.c: Permit long codes (platform macros permitting).

+

+2005-11-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclBinary.c:

+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:

+	* generic/tclDictObj.c:

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:

+	* generic/tclIOCmd.c:

+	* generic/tclLink.c:

+	* generic/tclTest.c:

+	* generic/tclVar.c: fix for [Bug 1334947]. The functions TclPtrSetVar,

+	Tcl_ObjSetVar2 and Tcl_SetVar2Ex now always consume the newValuePtr

+	argument - i.e., they will free a 0-refCount object if they failed to

+	set the variable. Fixed all callers in the core.

+

+2005-11-04  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Added abbreviations for the Korean

+	* library/clock.tcl:    timezone. [Patch 1298737]

+	* generic/tclDate.c:    Regenerated.

+

+	* tools/findBadExternals.tcl: Added this script, which locates external

+	symbols that do not begin with 'Tcl' or 'tcl' and hence might be in

+	conflict with other link libraries. Thanks to George Peter Staplin for

+	the idea and the initial version of the script. [Bug 1263012]

+

+	* unix/Makefile.in: Trimmed a bunch of fat out of the tommath/

+	directory in 'make dist'. [RFE 1333318]

+

+	* unix/tcl.m4: Added code to enable [load] on LynxOS. Thanks to

+	heidibr@users.sf.net for the patch. [Bug 1163896]. Removed the last

+	vestiges of GNU dld from the Unix build [RFE 1071992].

+

+	* unix/tclLoadDld.c: Removed.

+	* unix/configure: Regenerated.

+

+2005-11-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclInt.h:

+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:

+	* generic/tclVar.c:

+	* tests/trace.test: fix for [Bugs 1338280/1337229]; changed to use the

+	same approach as the 8.4 patch in the ticket (i.e., removed the patch

+	committed on 2005-31-10).

+

+2005-11-03  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:   Applied [Patch 1256872] to provide unicode

+	* win/tclWinConsole.c: support in the console on suitable systems.

+	* win/tclWinInt.h:     Patch by Anton Kovalenko

+

+2005-11-02  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	Applied [Patch 1096916] to support building with MSVC 8.

+	* generic/regerror.c: Avoid use of reserved word.

+	* generic/tcl.h:      Select the right Tcl_Stat structure

+	* generic/tclDate.c:  Casts to handle 64 bit time_t case.

+	* tests/env.test:     Include essential envvar on Win32

+	* win/nmakehlp.c:     Handle new return codes.

+	* win/makefile.vc:    Use the selected options.

+	* win/rules.vc:       Check options are applicable

+	* win/tclWinPort.h:   Disable deprecated function warnings

+	* win/tclWinSock.c:   Provide default value to avoid warning.

+	* win/tclWinTime.c:   Add casts to handle 64bit time_t type.

+

+2005-11-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TclCheckExecutionTraces): Corrected mistaken

+	assumption that all command traces are set at the script level.

+	Report/fix from Jacques H. de Villiers. [Bug 1337941]

+

+	* tests/unixNotfy.test (1.1,2):	Update error message whitespace to

+	match changes in code.

+

+	* tests/expr-old.test (expr-32.52): Use int(.) to restrict result of

+	left shift to the C long range.

+

+	* expr.test (expr-46.13): Added test that illustrates shortcoming of

+	[Patch 1340260].

+

+2005-10-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclNamesp.c: fix for [Bugs 1338280/1337229]. Thanks Don.

+

+2005-10-31  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialSetOptionProc): Cleaned up option parsing

+	to produce more informative error messages and separate error and

+	non-error code paths better.

+	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-8-19): Updated.

+

+2005-10-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclTrace.c (TraceVarProc): [Bug 1337229], partial fix. Ensure

+	that a second call with TCL_TRACE_DESTROYED does not lead to a second

+	call to Tcl_EventuallyFree(). It is still true that that second call

+	should not happen, so the bug is not completely fixed.

+	* tests/trace.test (test-18.3-4): added tests for [Bug 1337229] and

+	[Bug 1338280].

+

+2005-10-23  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclFileName.c: fix to memory leak in glob [Bug 1335006] Obj

+	leak detection and patch by Eric Melbardis.

+

+	* tests/fCmd.test:

+	1325803]

+

+2005-10-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+2005-10-21  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c (RefineApproximation): Plugged a memory leak

+	where two intermediate results were not freed on one return path. [Bug

+	1334461]. Thanks to Eric Melbardis for the patch.

+

+2005-10-21  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

+

+	* doc/binary.n: Clarify that virtually all code that uses the 'h'

+	format in [binary scan] should be using the 'H' format instead. It is

+	nearly always a bug to use the other!

+

+2005-10-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclListObj.c (TclLsetFlat):

+	* tests/lset.test (lset-10.3): fixed handling of unshared lists with

+	shared sublists, [Bug 1333036] reported by neuronstorm.

+

+2005-10-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclIORChan.c (PassReceivedError,PassReceivedErrorInterp):

+	Fix crash caused by passing -1 as the length to TclNewStringObj(). Only

+	Tcl_NewStringObj (the function call, not the macro) handles that sort

+	of thing correctly. This makes ioCmd.test pass again.

+

+2005-10-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclClock.c:		Removed some dead code.

+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:

+

+2005-10-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* generic/tclIORChan.c: General cleanup, removing checks that are

+	unnecessary due to the general contracts of other functions in the

+	core, converting to using ANSI declarations, etc. Note that nearly the

+	whole file has changed, but it is often just cosmetic.

+

+2005-10-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_DICT_APPEND, INST_DICT_LAPPEND): fixed

+	faulty peephole optimisation that can cause crashes, [Bug 1331475]

+	reported by Aric Bills.

+

+2005-10-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Added optimization for I32L64 systems to avoid

+	using bignums to perform int multiplies. The improvement shows up most

+	dramatically in tclbench's matrix.bench.

+

+2005-10-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Restored some optimizations of the

+	INST_INCR_SCALAR1_IMM opcode.

+

+2005-10-14  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers): removed change dated

+	2005-10-04 (see below). Look into [Bug 1323992] for detailed

+	discussion.

+

+	* generic/tcl.h: Fixed bad definition of CRTEXPORT which should have

+	been CRTIMPORT rather. This broke compilation of generic/tclMain.c and

+	was probably introduced by mistake while applying the fix for [Bug

+	1256937] below.

+

+2005-10-14  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclIncrObj, TclExecuteByteCode): Tidied up a

+	couple of infelicitous do {...} while(0) constructs.

+

+2005-10-14  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tcl.h:     Fix for [Bug 1256937] - correctly decorate

+	* generic/tclMain.c: imported functions from msvcrt in static builds.

+

+2005-10-13  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+

+	* tests/format.test: "Forward"-port of test updates relating to [Bug

+	1284178]. The bug itself was fixed by TIP#237.

+

+2005-10-13  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers): temporary ifdef

+	TCL_THREADS changes done to de-activate pending event processing when

+	channel is being closed/cutted.

+

+2005-10-13  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Removed obsolete use of NO_ERRNO_H.

+	* tools/man2tcl.c:

+	* unix/tcl.m4:

+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in:

+	* win/configure.in:

+

+	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.59

+	* win/configure:

+

+	* compat/tclErrno.h:	Removed obsolete file.

+

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c (TclParseNumber): Missing goto caused crash when

+	parsing "Na". [Bug 1325833]

+

+2005-10-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c (GetNumberFromObj):	Restored some lost

+	optimizations for empty string values. We avoid cost of a call to

+	TclParseNumber just to tell us an empty string isn't a number.

+

+2005-10-12  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclPathObj.c (SetFsPathFromAny): TclGetString macro must not

+	be combined with post-increment arguments. [Bug 1325099]

+

+2005-10-12  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c (Tcl_ExecuteByteCode, TclIncrObj): Several

+	common cases inlined in hopes of gaining a little performance in [incr]

+

+2005-10-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: New convenience macro CompileTokens().

+

+2005-10-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Corrections to the NO_WIDE_TYPE build. Also

+	added missing "break" to a switch that broke wide XOR operations.

+

+2005-10-10  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+

+	* generic/tclInterp.c (DeleteScriptLimitCallback)

+	(SetScriptLimitCallback): Improve the interlocking between the script

+	limit callback record and the hash table of current such records, to

+	prevent crashes in callbacks that create callbacks.

+	(Tcl_LimitSetTime): Reset the correct flag. Problem reported by

+	Nicolas Castagne <castagne@imag.fr> on comp.lang.tcl

+

+2005-10-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Fixing errors in last commit. (Two commits, the

+	second removes wrong comment).

+

+2005-10-09  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:

+	* generic/tclStringObj.c: Initialise variables to avoid compiler

+	warnings ([Bug 1320818] among others).

+

+2005-10-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	TIP#237 IMPLEMENTATION

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch] Resynchronized with the HEAD; at this

+	checkpoint [-rkennykb-numerics-branch-20051008], the HEAD and

+	kennykb-numerics-branch contain identical code.

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]	Merge updates from HEAD

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c: More performance macros and special handling of

+	the wide integer type for performance on 32-bit systems.

+

+2005-10-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Macro GetNumberFromObj() is version of

+	TclGetNumberFromObj() that saves a function call for common uses.

+

+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Made #undef NO_WIDE_TYPE the default on 32-bit

+	systems. Being able to use 64-bit values without leaping to mp_int

+	should help with performance.

+

+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Bug fixes in the #undef NO_WIDE_TYPE

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	configuration.

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Improved performance of comparison opcodes and

+	bitwise operations and removed yet more dead code.

+

+2005-10-07  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+

+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TraverseUnixTree): Adjust 2004-11-11 change to

+	* tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-20.2):           account for NFS special files

+	with a readdir rewind threshold. [Bug 1034337]

+

+2005-10-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Improved performance of INST_RSHIFT and

+	INST_LSHIFT.

+

+2005-10-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Improved performance of INST_MULT, INST_DIV,

+	INST_ADD, and INST_SUB and replaced a "goto... label" with a "break

+	from loop" in TclIncrObj() and removed some dead code.

+

+2005-10-05  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

+

+	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): Fixed [Bug 1109294]. Applied

+	the patch provided by David Gravereaux.

+

+	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Fixed [Bug 1104682], by application of David

+	Welton's patch for it, and added a note about wideSeekProc.

+

+	* generic/tclIORChan.c (RcClose): Removed unreachable panic/return

+	statements. This fixes the remainder of [Bug 1286256].

+

+2005-10-05  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+

+	* tests/env.test (env-6.1):

+	* win/tclWinPort.h: define USE_PUTENV_FOR_UNSET 1

+	* generic/tclEnv.c (TclSetEnv, TclUnsetEnv): add USE_PUTENV_FOR_UNSET

+	to existing USE_PUTENV define to account for various systems that have

+	putenv(), but can't unset env vars with it. Note difference between

+	Windows and Linux for actually unsetting the env var (use of '=').

+	Correct the resizing of the environ array. We assume that we are in

+	full ownership, but that's not correct.[Bug 979640]

+

+2005-10-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Updated TclIncrObj() to more efficiently add

+	native long integers. Also updated IllegalExprOperandType and the

+	INST_UMINUS, INST_UPLUS, INST_BITNOT, and INST_TRY_CVT_TO_NUMERIC

+	sections for performance.

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c: Updated more callers to make use of

+	TclGetNumberFromObj. Removed some dead code.

+

+2005-10-04  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+

+	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialSetOptionProc): free argv [Bug 1067708]

+

+	* tests/http.test:              do not URI encode -._~ according

+	* library/http/http.tcl (init): to RFC3986. [Bug 1182373] (aho)

+

+	* unix/tclLoadShl.c (TclpDlopen): use DYNAMIC_PATH on second shl_load

+	only. [Bug 1204237]

+

+	* doc/scan.n: scan %[] requires "one or more chars" [Bug 1277503]

+

+	* tests/winFile.test (getuser): allow valid Windows usernames. [Bug

+	1311285]

+

+	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseCommand): add code that recognizes {} in

+	addition to {expand} for word expansion (make with

+	-DALLOW_EMPTY_EXPAND).

+

+2005-10-04  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers): now deletes any

+	outstanding timer for the channel. Also, prevents events still in the

+	event queue from triggering on the current channel.

+

+	* generic/tclTimer.c (Tcl_DeleteTimerHandler): bail out early if passed

+	NULL argument.

+

+2005-10-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Re-implemented ExprRoundFunc and

+	ExprEntierFunc to use TclGetNumberFromObj.

+

+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Added new routine TclGetNumberFromObj to

+	* generic/tclObj.c:	provide efficient access to the actual

+	internal rep of a numeric Tcl_Obj without conversions.

+

+2005-10-03  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* tools/loadICU.tcl:  Changed the file names of message catalogs to

+			      lowercase.

+	* tools/makeTestCases.tcl:

+	* library/tzdata/*:   Olson's tzdata2005n.tar.gz. Includes new DST

+	rules for USA and a number of changes to other locales.

+	* tests/clock.test:   Regenerated for new US DST rules.

+

+2005-09-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclMain.c: Separate encoding conversion of command line

+	arguments from list formatting. [Bug 1306162].

+

+2005-09-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

+

+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Bug fix: Missing cast to large enough

+	integral size before << operations led to broken [format %llx] results.

+	Thanks to Robert Henry for reporting the bug.

+

+2005-09-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+

+	* doc/mathfunc.n:   implementation for TIP #255, expr min/max

+	* library/init.tcl:

+	* tests/info.test, tests/expr-old.test:

+

+2005-09-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

+

+	* generic/tcl.h:	Changed name of the new Tcl_Obj intrep field

+	* generic/tclObj.c:	from "bignumValue" to "ptrAndLongRep" as

+	* generic/tclProc.c:	described in TIP 237, and more suitable for

+	other more general uses.

+

+2005-09-27  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

+

+	* tests/binary.test (binary-14.18): Added test for [Bug 1116542] though

+	the bug itself was already fixed by unrelated changes.

+

+2005-09-26  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch] Merge updates from HEAD.

+

+2005-09-26  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* libtommath/:                   Updated to release 0.36.

+	* generic/tommath.h:             Regenerated.

+	* generic/tclTomMathInterface.h: Added ten missing aliases for mp_*

+	functions to avoid namespace pollution in Tcl's exported symbols. [Bug

+	1263012]

+

+2005-09-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

+

+	* unix/Makefile.in:	Added -DMP_PREC=4 switch to all compiles so

+	* win/Makefile.in:	that minimum memory requirements of mp_int's

+	* win/makefile.vc:	will not be quite so large. [Bug 1299153].

+

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	Fixed memory leak. [Bug 1299803].

+	* generic/tclObj.c:

+

+2005-09-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Revise TclIncrObj() to call

+

+	* generic/tcl.decls:	Add Tcl_GetBignumAndClearObj.

+	* generic/tclObj.c:

+

+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	make genstubs

+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

+

+2005-09-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

+

+	* generic/tclInt.h:		 Added TclBNInitBigNumFromWideInt() so

+	* generic/tclTomMathInterface.c: that every caller isn't required to

+	duplicate the sign logic to use the unsigned interface.

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Reduce the number of places where Tcl intrudes

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	into the internal format details of the mp_int

+	* generic/tclObj.c:	struct.

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:

+	* generic/tcLStringObj.c:

+

+	* generic/tclTomMath.h:	Added mp_cmp_d to routines from libtommath

+	* unix/Makefile.in:	used by Tcl.

+	* win/Makefile.in:

+	* win/makefile.vc:

+

+	* libtommath/bn_mp_add_d.c: Bug fix. For mp_add_d(&a, d, &c), when &a

+	has the value -d, then the value &c computed should be zero, but

+	mp_add_d was producing an inconsistent zero value with a sign field of

+	MP_NEG, something like a value of -0, which other routines in

+	libtommath can't handle.

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Dropped all creation of "bigOne" values and

+	just use tommath routines that accept the value "1" directly.

+

+2005-09-15  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* doc/ParseCmd.3: copy/paste fix [Bug 1292427]

+

+2005-09-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Bug fixes: ObjPrintfVA needed to

+	support "*" fields and needed to interpret precision limits on %s

+	conversions as a maximum number of bytes, not Tcl_UniChars, to take

+	from the (char *) argument.

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Updated several callers to use

+	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: TclFormatToErrorInfo() and/or

+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	TclObjPrintf().

+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:

+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:

+

+2005-09-13  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	First caller of TclFormatToErrorInfo.

+

+	* generic/tclInt.h:		Using stdarg.h conventions, add more

+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	fixed arguments to TclFormatObj() and

+	TclObjPrintf(). Added new routine TclFormatToErrorInfo().

+

+	* generic/tcl.h:	Explicitly standardized on the use of stdarg.h

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	conventions for functions with variable number

+	* generic/tclInt.h:	of arguments. Support for varargs.h has been

+	* generic/tclPanic.c:	implicitly gone for some time now. All

+	* generic/tclResult.c:	TCL_VARARGS* macros purged from Tcl sources,

+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	leaving only some deprecated #define's

+	* tools/genStubs.tcl:	in tcl.h for the sake of older extensions.

+

+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	make genstubs

+

+	* doc/AddErrInfo.3:	Replaced all documented requirement for use of

+	* doc/Eval.3:		TCL_VARARGS_START() with requirement for use of

+	* doc/Panic.3:		va_start().

+	* doc/SetResult.3:

+2005-09-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]	Merge updates from HEAD.

+

+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:		Added support for the "ll" width

+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	specifier to [format].

+

+	* generic/tclStringObj.c (TclAppendFormattedObjs):	Bug fix: make

+	sure %ld formats force the collection of a wide value, when the value

+	could be a different long.

+

+2005-09-09  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

+

+	* generic/tclIORChan.c (RcDecodeEventMask): Added missing type

+	declaration for the parameter 'mask'. This fixes the [Bug 1286256]. The

+	other warning can be removed only by removing the panic/return code.

+

+2005-09-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]	Merge updates from HEAD.

+

+2005-09-09  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+	from MSVC6.

+

+2005-09-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

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

+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	is similar to TclFormatObj() but

+	accepts arguments in non-Tcl_Obj format.

+

+	* generic/tclInt.h:		New internal routines TclFormatObj()

+	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	and TclAppendFormattedObjs() to offer

+	sprintf()-like means to append to Tcl_Obj. Work in progress toward

+	[RFE 572392].

+

+	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	Compiler directive NEW_FORMAT when #define'd

+	directs the [format] command to be implemented in terms of the new

+	TclAppendFormattedObjs() routine.

+

+	TIP#254 IMPLEMENTATION

+

+	* generic/tclLink.c (LinkTraceProc,ObjValue): Added many new of C var

+	* generic/tcl.h:			      to link to, making it

+	* doc/LinkVar.3:			      easier to seamlessly

+	* generic/tclTest.c (TestlinkCmd):	      couple C code and Tcl

+	* tests/link.test:			      scripts in an

+	application. [Patch 1242844]

+

+2005-09-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharToUtf):	Corrected handling of negative

+	* tests/utf.test (utf-1.5):	    Tcl_UniChar input value. Incorrect

+	handling was producing byte sequences outside of Tcl's legal internal

+	encoding. [Bug 1283976].

+

+2005-09-06  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+

+	* generic/tclInt.h (List): Added flag to keep track of whether a list

+	* generic/tclListObj.c:    with a string rep is provably canonical.

+	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_ConcatObj):  Do efficient concatenation and

+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalObjEx): evaluation when the list is

+	canonical, and not just when the list is pure. This should make the

+	"pure list" hacking introduced in 8.3 much more robust.

+

+2005-09-05  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+

+	* generic/tclObj.c (pendingObjDataKey): Added missing 'static' to stop

+

+2005-09-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

+

+	* generic/tclScan.c:	Bug fix: The %o, %x, %i formats of [scan] must

+	not accept any 0b or 0o prefixes. [scan $s %o] must continue to work

+	even with KILL_OCTAL enabled.

+

+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Added TCL_PARSE_SCAN_PREFIXES to the flags

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	accepted by TclParseNumber.

+

+2005-09-01  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

+

+	* generic/tclObj.c:	TclParseNumber calls meant to parse an integer

+	value now pass the TCL_PARSE_INTEGER_ONLY flag.

+

+	* generic/tclScan.c:	Extended [scan] to accept the %lld, %llo, %llx,

+	and %lli formats. Numeric scanning is now done via TclParseNumber calls

+

+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Extended TclParseNumber to accept new flag

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	values TCL_PARSE_INTEGER_ONLY,

+	TCL_PARSE_OCTAL_ONLY, and TCL_PARSE_HEXIDECIMAL_ONLY, to give caller

+	more control over the parsing rules.

+

+	* doc/FileSystem.3:

+	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:

+	* windows/tclWinFile.c: clarify that Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory may be

+	called with a NULL interpreter, and fix the code so this is allowed.

+	Tcl's core itself (tclEncoding.c:FillEncodingFileMap()) calls this

+	with a NULL interpreter.

+

+2005-08-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+

+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Extended bignum support to include bignums so

+	large they will not pack into a Tcl_Obj. When they outgrow Tcl's string

+	rep length limits, a panic will result.

+

+	* generic/tclTomMath.h:	Added mp_sqrt to routines from

+	* unix/Makefile.in:	libtommath used by Tcl.

+	* win/Makefile.in:

+	* win/makefile.vc:

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Extended sqrt(.) so that range covers the

+	entire double range, accepting as many bignums in the domain as that

+	will allow.

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c (ExprMathFunc): Restored "round away from zero"

+

+2005-08-26  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

+

+	* generic/tclIO.c: Moved Tcl_{Cut,Splice}Channel to

+	{Cut,Splice}Channel for internal use, and created new public functions

+	for Tcl_{Cut,Splice}Channel which walk the whole stack of

+	transformations and invoke the necessary thread actions. Added code to

+	Tcl_(Un)StackChannel to properly invoke the thread actions when pushing

+	and popping transformations on/from a channel.

+

+2005-08-26  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+

+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceEnsembleCmd): Reset the result after

+	creating an ensemble to clear any result object sharing (potentially

+	caused by delete traces) so that we can safely return the name of the

+	ensemble. Previously, this caused crashes in Snit's test suite.

+

+2005-08-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+	always true that ($x <= ceil($x)) and ($x >= floor($x)). The simple

+	approach of "convert to double and call ceil() or floor()" could not

+	guarantee that.

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Bug fix: TclBignumToDouble return -Inf when

+	appropriate. Removed declarations of removed routines.

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Revised the type promotion rules of the

+	Added a missing "errno=0;" in ExprUnaryFunc so that spurious error

+	Added test cases for Tcl_Expr* and Tcl_Expr*Obj because there was very

+	poor test coverage in those areas.

+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c: Reworked parsing of numbers to call

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Major overhaul of IllegalExprOperandType.

+

+2005-08-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c: Rewrite of INST_LAND/INST_LOR to take advantage

+	of loss of "pure double" issues. Merged INST_UPLUS with

+	INST_TRY_CVT_TO_NUMERIC and updated to use improved rules for impure

+	"double"s as well.

+

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	Restored conditional generation of

+	tclWideIntType values by TclParseNumber so that Tcl's not completely

+	broken while bignum calculation support is incomplete. The NO_WIDE_TYPE

+	macro can be used to disable this.

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c (ExprAbsFunc): First pass making [expr abs(.)]

+	* unix/configure:             data without USE_THREAD_STORAGE and

+	* unix/tcl.m4:                radically refactored the code for

+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:         dependencies on the order of

+2005-08-10  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Pushed Tcl_FinalizeLoad and

+	unload DLL's until after their TSD keys are finalized. (Note that we'll

+	still see aborts if an unloaded DLL has TSD - that still needs to be

+	fixed.

+

+	* tests/compExpr-old.test (compExpr-3.8): Made tests conditional on

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Reimplement long and wide

+	type integer division and modulus operations so that the smallest and

+	largest integer values are handled properly. The divide operation is

+	more efficient since it no longer does a modulus or negation and only

+	checks for a remainder when the quotient will be a negative number.

+	The modulus operation is now a bit more complex because of a number of

+	special cases dealing with the smallest and largest integers.

+

+2005-06-01  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	For compatibility with earlier Tcl releases,

+	* generic/tclResult.c:	when a command procedure simply does a

+	* generic/tclTest.c:	"return TCL_RETURN;" we must interpret that

+	* tests/result.test:	the same as

+	"return Tcl_SetReturnOptions(interp, Tcl_NewObj());"  [Bug 1209759].

+

+2005-06-01  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+

+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Allow compilation of

+	-nocase -glob [switch]es (only one we know how to compile).

+

+	TIP#241 IMPLEMENTATION from Joe Mistachkin

+

+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd, Tcl_LsortObjCmd):

+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Implementation of -nocase

+	option for [lsearch], [lsort] and [switch] commands.

+	* win/tclWinPort.h: Win uses nonstandard function names...

+

+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_FinalizeNotifier): Pass the correct number

+	of arguments to Tcl_JoinThread.

+

+2005-05-31  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+

+	* unix/configure.in, unix/tcl.m4: Standardize generation of help

+	messages to always use AC_HELP_STRING and always (except for --with-tcl

+	and --with-tk, where the default is complex) say what the default is.

+

+2005-05-31  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: the notifier thread is now created as joinable

+	thread and it is properly joined in Tcl_FinalizeNotifier. This is an

+	attempt to fix the [Bug 1082283].

+

+2005-05-30  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>

+

+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Fixed [Bug 1204064]

+

+	TIP #229 IMPLEMENTATION

+

+	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindCommand, TclResetShadowedCmdRefs)

+	that people don't see stale paths.

+	* generic/tclInt.h (Namespace, NamespacePathEntry): Structure defs.

+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoCommandsCmd): Updates to [info commands].

+

+2005-05-26  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* macosx/Makefile: moved & corrected EMBEDDED_BUILD check.

+

+	* unix/configure.in: corrected framework finalization to softlink stub

+	library to Versions/8.x subdir instead of Versions/Current.

+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59

+

+2005-05-25  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+

+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TimeObjCmd): add necessary cast

+

+2005-05-25  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	TIP#182 IMPLEMENTATION	[Patch 1165062]

+

+	* doc/mathfunc.n:	New built-in math function bool().

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:

+	* tests/expr.test:

+	* tests/info.test:

+

+2005-05-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* library/init.tcl:	Updated [unknown] to be sure the [return]

+	* tests/init.test:	options from an auto-loaded command are seen

+	correctly by the caller.

+

+2005-05-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* tests/env.test: added DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH to the list of env vars

+	that need to be handled specially.

+

+	* macosx/Makefile:

+	* macosx/README:

+	* macosx/Tcl-Info.plist.in (new file):

+	* unix/Makefile.in:

+	* unix/configure.in:

+	* unix/tcl.m4:

+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: moved all Darwin framework build support from

+	macosx/Makefile into the standard unix configure/make buildsystem, the

+	macosx/Makefile is no longer required to build Tcl.framework (but its

+	functionality is still available for backwards compatibility).

+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59

+

+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclLoadFile):

+	* generic/tclInt.h:

+	* unix/tcl.m4:

+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c: added support for [load]ing .bundle binaries in

+	addition to .dylib's: .bundle's can be [unload]ed (unlike .dylib's),

+	and can be [load]ed from memory, e.g. directly from VFS without needing

+	to be written out to a temporary location first. [Bug 1202209]

+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59

+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59

+

+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TimeObjCmd): change [time] called with a

+	count > 1 to return a string with a float value instead of a rounded

+	off integer. [Bug 1202178]

+

+	* doc/expr.n:

+	* doc/string.n: fixed roff syntax complaints from 'make html'.

+

+2005-05-20  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Corrected parser to recognize all

+	boolean literals accepted by Tcl_GetBoolean, including prefixes like

+	"y" and "f", and to allow "eq" and "ne" as function names in the proper

+	context. [Bug 1201589].

+

+2005-05-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): Rewrite for greater

+	clarity; although 'goto' is Bad, the contortions you have to go through

+	to avoid it can be worse...

+

+2005-05-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): fixed crashing CFRelease

+	of runLoopSource in Tcl_InitNotifier (reported by Zoran):

+	CFRunLoopAddSource doesn't CFRetain, so can only CFRelease the

+	runLoopSource in Tcl_FinalizeNotifier.

+

+2005-05-18  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_ExprBoolean):	Rewrite as wrapper around

+	Tcl_ExprBooleanObj.

+

+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c ([string is boolean/true/false]): Rewrite dropping

+	string-based Tcl_GetBoolean call, so that internal reps are kept for

+	subsequent quick boolean operations.

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Dropped most special handling of the "boolean"

+	Tcl_ObjType, since that type should now be rarely encountered.

+

+	* doc/BoolObj.3:	Rewrite of documentation dropping many details

+	about the internals of Tcl_Objs. Shorter documentation focuses on the

+	function and use of the routines.

+

+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Revision to the "boolean" Tcl_ObjType, so that

+	* generic/tclObj.c:	only string values like "yes" and "false" are

+	* tests/obj.test:	kept as the "boolean" Tcl_ObjType. The string

+	values "0" and "1" are kept as "int" Tcl_ObjType, which also produce

+	quick calls to Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj(). Since this internal change

+	means a Tcl_ConvertToType to a "boolean" Tcl_ObjType might not produce

+	a Tcl_Obj of type "boolean", the registration of the "boolean" type is

+	also removed.

+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***

+	For callers of Tcl_GetObjType on the type name "boolean".

+

+2005-05-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclObj.c (TclInitObjSubsystem):	Removed the

+	* tests/listObj.test:	registration of the Tcl_ObjType's "list",

+	* tests/obj.test:	"procbody", "index", "ensembleCommand",

+	"localVarName", and "levelReference". The only reason to register a

+	Tcl_ObjType is to have it returned by Tcl_GetObjType, and the only

+	reason for that is to retrieve a (Tcl_ObjType *) to pass to

+	Tcl_ConvertToType(). None of the types above can support a

+	Tcl_ConvertToType() call; they panic. Better not to offer something

+	than to lead users into a panic.

+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***

+	For callers of Tcl_GetObjType on the type names listed above.

+

+2005-05-15  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: conditioned definition of EXCEPTION_REGISTRATION

+	structures on HAVE_NO_SEH, to fix a bug in buildability on MSVC.

+

+2005-05-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclInt.decls:

+	* generic/tclTest.c:

+	* generic/tclUtil.c:

+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: fixed link error due to direct access by tclTest.c

+	to the MODULE_SCOPE tclPlatform global: renamed existing

+	TclWinGetPlatform() accessor to TclGetPlatform() and moved it to

+	generic code so that it can be used by on all platforms where

+	MODULE_SCOPE is enforced.

+

+	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:

+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:

+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): made use of CoreFoundation API configurable and

+	added test of CoreFoundation availablility to allow building on ppc64,

+	replaced HAVE_CFBUNDLE by HAVE_COREFOUNDATION; test for availability of

+	Tiger or later OSSpinLockLock API.

+

+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:

+	* unix/Makefile.in:

+	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (new file): when CoreFoundation is

+	available, use new CFRunLoop based notifier: allows easy integration

+	with other event loops on Mac OS X, in particular the TkAqua Carbon

+	event loop is now integrated via a standard tcl event source (instead

+	of TkAqua upon loading having to finalize the exsting notifier and

+	replace it with its custom version). [Patch 1202052]

+

+	* tests/unixNotfy.test: don't run unthreaded tests on Darwin since

+	notifier may be using threads even in unthreaded core.

+

+	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:

+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): test for thread-unsafe realpath during

+	configure, as Darwin 7 and later realpath is threadsafe.

+

+	* macosx/Makefile: enable configure caching.

+

+	* unix/configure.in: wrap tclConfig.h header in #ifndef _TCLCONFIG so

+	that it can be included more than once without warnings from gcc4.0 (as

+	happens e.g. when including both tclInt.h and tclPort.h)

+

+	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:

+	* unix/tclUnixChan.c:

+	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c:

+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: fixed gcc 4.0 warnings.

+

+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59

+	* unix/tclConfig.h.in: autoheader-2.59

+

+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:

+	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:

+	* generic/tclStubInit.c: make genstubs

+

+2005-05-13  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Further rework of the SEH logic. All

+	EXCEPTION_REGISTRATION records are now in the activation record rather

+	than pushed on the stack.

+

+2005-05-13  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Dropped the TCL_NO_MATH configuration. It's

+	* generic/tclBinary.c:	believed this has not been working in a long

+	* generic/tclExecute.c: time. Tcl needs math.h. [RFE 1200680]

+	* unix/Makefile.in:

+

+2005-05-12  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* doc/mathfunc.n: Changed NAME line to match the name of the page.

+

+2005-05-11  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch] Resynchronized with the HEAD; at this

+	checkpoint [-rkennykb-numerics-branch-20050511], the HEAD and

+	kennykb-numerics-branch contain identical code.

+

+2005-05-11  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c (TclStrToD, RefineResult, ParseNaN): Changed the

+	code to cast 'char' to UCHAR explicitly when using ctype macros, to

+	silence complaints from the Solaris compiler.

+

+2005-05-10  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+

+	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: add lint attr to enum to satisfy strictly

+	compliant compilers that don't like trailing ,s.

+

+	* tests/string.test: string-10.[21-30]

+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): add extra checks to prevent

+	possible UMR in unichar cmp function for string map.

+

+2005-05-10  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* generic/tclBinary.c (FormatNumber): Fixed a bug where NaN's resulted

+	in reads of uninitialized memory when using 'd', 'q', or 'Q' format.

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c (ParseNaN, TclFormatNaN): Added code to handle

+	the peculiarities of HP's PA_RISC, which uses a different 'quiet' bit

+	in NaN from everyone else.

+	* libtommath/tommath_superclass.h: Corrected C++-style comment.

+

+2005-05-10  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	Merged all changes on kennykb-numerics-branch back into the HEAD.

+	TIP's 132 and 232 are now Final.

+

+2005-05-10  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch] Merged changes from HEAD.

+

+2005-05-10  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExponLong, ExponWide):

+	* tests/expr.test (expr-23.34/35): fixed special case 'i**0' for i>0

+	[Bug 1198892]

+

+2005-05-09  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace, TclWinCPUID): Reworked

+	structured event handling to function even with -fomit-frame-pointers.

+

+2005-05-08  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c: Made code more portable by finding a workaround

+	for MSVC's 'volatile' issue that does not require conditional

+	compilation.

+	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclWinCPUID): Removed structured event handling

+	from the GCC code since (a) bad code is generated by the instruction

+	scheduling with -O2, and (b) it's not needed on any reasonably modern

+	CPU.

+

+2005-05-07  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

+	* generic/tclEvent.c:  Moved initialization of tclStrToD.c's

+	* generic/tclInt.h:    static constants into a procedure called

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c: from TclInitSubsystems to avoid double checked

+	locking protocol. Cleaned up an issue where MSVC ignored the

+	'volatile' specifier, causing incorrect comparison of an underflowed

+	number against zero.

+

+2005-05-06  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>

+

+	* unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: correct Solaris 10 (5.10) check and add

+	support for x86_64 Solaris cc builds.

+

+2005-05-05  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch] Merged with HEAD.

+

+2005-05-05  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

+

+	* win/tclWinThrd.c:  Corrected a compilation error on the

+			     --enable-threads configuration.

+

+2005-05-05  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclInt.decls:	Converted TclMatchIsTrivial to a macro.

+	* generic/tclInt.h:

+	* generic/tclUtil.c:

+	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:	`make genstubs`

+	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Added callers of TclMatchIsTrivial where a

+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:	search can be done more efficiently when it is

+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:recognized that a pattern match is really an

+	* generic/tclDictObj.c:	exact match. [Patch 1076088]

+	* generic/tclIO.c:

+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:

+	* generic/tclVar.c:

+

+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:	Factored common efficiency trick into a

+	macro named CompileWord.

+

+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:	Replaced all instance of

+	* generic/tclCompile.c:		TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE with TCL_ERROR.

+	* generic/tclInt.h:		Now that we've eradicated the mistaken

+	* tests/appendComp.test:	notion of a "compile-time error", we

+	can use the TCL_ERROR return code to signal any failure to produce

+	bytecode.

+

+2005-05-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* doc/DString.3:	Eliminated use of identifier "string" in Tcl's

+	* doc/Environment.3:	public C API to avoid conflict/confusion with

+	* doc/Eval.3:		the std::string of C++.

+	* doc/ExprLong.3, doc/ExprLongObj.3, doc/GetInt.3, doc/GetOpnFl.3:

+

+2005-05-02  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tcl.decls:

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Simplified implementation of Tcl_ExprString.

+	* tests/expr-old.test:

+	* generic/tclDecls.h:	`make genstubs`

+

+2005-04-30  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	TIP#176 IMPLEMENTATION	[Patch 1165695]

+

+	* generic/tclUtil.c:	Extended TclGetIntForIndex to recognize index

+	formats including end+integer and integer+/-integer.

+

+	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	Extended the -start switch of [regexp] and

+	[regsub] to accept all index formats known by TclGetIntForIndex.

+

+	* doc/lindex.n:		Updated docs to note new index formats.

+	* doc/linsert.n, doc/lrange.n, doc/lreplace.n, doc/lsearch.n:

+	* doc/lset.n, doc/lsort.n, doc/regexp.n, doc/regsub.n, doc/string.n:

+

+2005-04-27  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* library/init.tcl:	Corrected flaw in interactive command

+	* tests/main.test:	auto-completion. [Bug 1191409].

+

+	TIP#183 IMPLEMENTATION	[Patch 577093]

+

+	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclGetOpenModeEx):	New routine.

+	* generic/tclInt.h:

+

+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_OpenObjCmd):	Support for "b" and

+	* doc/open.n:		"BINARY" in "access" argument to [open].

+	* tests/ioCmd.test:

+

+2005-04-26  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclBinary.c (FormatNumber): Dredge the NaN out of the

+	internal representation if Tcl_GetDoubleFromObj returns TCL_ERROR on a

+	NaN.

+

+	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetDoubleFromObj): Restored silent

+	overflow/underflow behaviour that the merge of 2004-04-25 messed up.

+	Thanks to Don Porter for calling attention to this bug. Also removed an

+	uninitialised memory reference in this function that valgrind caught.

+	Also changed to return TCL_ERROR on a pure NaN.

+

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c (RefineResult): Added a test for the initial

+	approximation being HUGE_VAL; this test avoids EDOM being returned from

+	ldexp on some platforms on input values exceeding the floating point

+	range.

+

+	* tests/expr.test (expr-29.*, expr-30.*): Added further tests of

+	overflow/underflow on input conversions.

+

+2005-04-25  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch] Merged with HEAD.

+

+	* doc/CrtMathFunc.n:		Revised documentation for TIP 232

+

+2005-04-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* compat/string.h: fixed memchr() protoype for __APPLE__ so that we

+	build on Mac OS X 10.1 again.

+

+	* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): fixed notifier not being

+	finalized in unthreaded core (was testing for notifier initialization

+	in current thread by checking thread id != 0 but thread id is always 0

+	in untreaded core).

+

+	* win/tclWinNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent):

+	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): don't call ScaleTimeProc for

+	zero wait times (as specified in TIP 233).

+

+	* unix/Makefile.in: added @PLAT_SRCS@ to SRCS and split out NOTIFY_SRCS

+	from UNIX_SRCS for parity with UNIX_OBJS & NOTIFY_OBJS.

+

+	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): added configure checks for recently added

+	linker flags -single_module and -search_paths_first to allow building

+	with older tools (and on Mac OS X 10.1), use -single_module in SHLIB_LD

+	and not just T{CL,K}_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS, added unexporting from Tk of

+	symbols from libtclstub to avoid duplicate symbol warnings, added

+	PLAT_SRCS definition for Mac OS X, defined MODULE_SCOPE to

+	__private_extern__.

+	(SC_MISSING_POSIX_HEADERS): added caching of dirent.h check.

+

+	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59

+	* generic/tclObj.c:	[Bug 1188863].

+

+2005-04-22  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	The 2005-04-21 changes to Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj were done to bring it

+	into agreement with its docs. Further investigation reveals it was the

+	docs that were incorrect.

+

+	* doc/BoolObj.3:	Corrections to the documentation of

+	Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj to bring it into agreement with what this public

+	interface has always done, including noting the difference in function

+	between Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj and Tcl_GetBoolean.

+

+	* generic/tclGet.c:	Revised Tcl_GetBoolean to no longer be a

+	wrapper around Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj (different function!).

+

+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Removed TclGetTruthValueFromObj routine that

+	was added yesterday. Revisions so that only Tcl_GetBoolean-approved

+	values get the "boolean" Tcl_ObjType. This retains the fix for [Bug

+	1187123].

+	* tests/string.test:	Test string-23.0 for Bug 1187123.

+

+	* generic/tclInt.h:	Revert most recent change.

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:

+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:

+	* tests/obj.test:

+

+2005-04-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* doc/GetInt.3:	Convert argument "string" to "str" to agree with code.

+	Also clarified a few details on int and double formats.

+	* generic/tclGet.c:	Radical code simplification. Converted

+	Tcl_GetFoo() routines into wrappers around Tcl_GetFooFromObj(). Reduces

+	code duplication, and the resulting potential for inconsistency.

+

+	* generic/tclObj.c:	Several changes:

+

+	- Re-ordered error detection code so all values with trailing garbage

+	  receive a "not an integer" message instead of an "integer too large"

+	  message.

+	- Removed inactive code meant to deal with strtoul* routines that fail

+	  to parse leading signs. All of them do, and if any are detected that

+	  do not, the correct fix is replacement with compat/strtoul*.c, not a

+	  lot of special care by the callers.

+	- Tcl_GetDoubleFromObj now avoids shimmering away a "wideInt" intrep.

+	- Fixed Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj to agree with its documentation and with

+	  Tcl_GetBoolean, accepting only "0" and "1" and not other numeric

+	  strings. [Bug 1187123]

+	- Added new private routine TclGetTruthValueFromObj to perform the more

+	  permissive conversion of numeric values to boolean that is needed by

+	  the [expr] machinery.

+

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

+	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Updated callers to call new routine.

+	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Updated callers to call new routine.

+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:	Updated callers to call new routine.

+	* generic/tclDictObj.c:	Updated callers to call new routine.

+	* tests/obj.test:	Corrected bad tests that actually expected

+	values like "47" and "0xac" to be accepted as booleans.

+

+	* generic/tclLiteral.c: Disabled the code that forces some literals

+	into the "int" Tcl_ObjType during registration. We can re-enable it if

+	this change causes trouble, but it seems more sensible to let Tcl's

+	"on-demand" shimmering rule, and not try to pre-guess things.

+2005-04-16  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>

+

+

+	Set of changes correcting huge memory waste (not a leak) when a thread

+	cleanup after ourselves when Tcl library is being unloaded with the

+

+	This fixes the [Bug 1178445]

+

+

+	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: modified TclFinalizeThreadAlloc() to

+	explicitly call TclpFreeAllocCache with the NULL-ptr as argument

+	signalling cleanup of private tsd key used only by the threading

+	allocator.

+

+	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: fixed TclpFreeAllocCache() to recognize when

+	being called with NULL argument. This is a signal for it to clean up

+	the tsd key associated with the threading allocator.

+

+	* win/tclWinThrd.c: renamed TclWinFreeAllocCache to TclpFreeAllocCache

+	and fixed to recognize when being called with NULL argument. This is a

+

+	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize): Lowest size limit

+	* tests/io.test:	changed from ten bytes to one byte. Need for

+	* tests/iogt.test:	this change was proven by Ross Cartlidge

+	<rossc@cisco.com> where [read stdin 1] was grabbing 10 bytes followed

+	by starting a child process that was intended to continue reading from

+	stdin. Even with -buffersize set to one, nine chars were getting lost

+	by the buffersize over reading for the native read() caused by [read].

+

+2005-04-13  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment): Reversed

+	order of verifying candidate [encoding system] value, checking against

+	a table in memory first before calling Tcl_GetEncoding and potentially

+	scanning through the filesystem. Also ordered the table so that a

+	binary search could be used within it. Improves startup time a bit more

+	on some systems.

+

+	* doc/fcopy.n: Improved documentation on copying binary files, added an

+	* doc/fconfigure.n: Improved documentation of -encoding binary option.

+	This is all following comments from Steve Manning <steve@manning.net>

+	on comp.lang.tcl that the current documentation was not clear.

+

+2005-04-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

+

+	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Corrected bad syntax of Tcl_Panic() call.

+

+	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetProcessGlobalValue):	More robust handling

+	of bad TclInitProcessGlobalValueProc behavior; an immediate panic

+	rather than a mysterious crash later.

+

+	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	Several changes to the way the

+	encodingFileMap cache is maintained. Previously, it was attempted to

+	keep the file map filled and up to date with changes in the encoding

+	search path. This contributed to slow startup times since it required

+	an expensive "glob" operation to fill the cache. Now the validity of

+	items in the cache are checked at the time they are used, so the cache

+	is permitted to fall out of sync with the encoding search path. Only

+	[encoding names] and Tcl_GetEncodingNames() now pay the full expense.

+

+	* generic/tclInt.h:

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c (Tcl_DoubleDigits, TclFormatNaN):

+	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_PrintDouble): Changed the signature of

+	TclDoubleDigits so that it accepts a pointer to the signum of the

+	argument, and returns the signum via that pointer. Added very hacky

+	code to handle IEEE signed zeroes in Tcl_DoubleDigits. (It can't be

+	done other than as a hack until C9x; C89 simply doesn't deal with the

+	concept of -0.0). Added output conversion of tagged NaN values.

+	* generic/tclBinary.c (FormatNumber): Changed to allow [binary format]

+	to handle NaN.

+	* tests/binary.test (binary-60.1): Added a quick-n-dirty test to make

+	sure that NaN's can be scanned and formatted.

+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c (GetLexeme, ParseMaxDoubleLength): Modified so

+	that tagged NaN (e.g., NaN(DEADBEEF)) can be recognized.

+	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_PrintDouble, TclPrecTraceProc): Added

+	Tcl_DoubleDigits to format 'double' numbers with the minimum number of

+	to accept 0 as a precision (meaning "minimum digits"), and made 0 the

+	default. [TIP #132]

+

+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

+

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c (TclStrToD, RefineResult, SafeLdExp): Added code

+	to ensure that 'ldexp' is never called with a value that will underflow

+	* tests/expr.test: Added tests for the smallest representible value,

+	and rounding between it and zero. (The tests reflect current

+	behaviour; plan is to change the specification of Tcl so that input

+	conversion of doubles underflows silently.)

+

+2005-02-02  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

+

+	* generic/tclProc.c (TclInitCompiledLocals): Add check for type of the

+	framePtr->procPtr->bodyPtr passed to TclInitCompiledLocals and panic if

+	it is not the correct type. If the body of the proc is not of the

+	compiled byte code type then the code will crash. This was discovered

+	while tracking down a crash in Itcl, that crash is fixed by Itcl patch

+	1115085.

+	'strtod' with a TclStrToD routine that performs correct rounding and

+	handles denormals.

+	* generic/tclStrToD.c: (new file)

+	New scanning function for extracting 'double' from a string that rounds

+	correctly, and handles denormals and infinities.

+	* unix/Makefile.in:

+	* win/Makefile.in:

+	* win/makefile.vc:

+	Added tclStrToD.c and the tommath routines that support it.

+

+	These changes represent a partial implementation of TIP #132. Output

+	conversion of floating point numbers, and proper handling of infinities

+	within expressions, still need to be addressed.
