+	* generic/tclTimer.c (AfterProc):	Replace Tcl_EvalEx() with

+
+	* generic/tcl.h:	Bump version number to 8.5.1b1 to distinguish

+
+2007-12-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: more [lsort] data handling streamlines. The
+	function MergeSort is gone, essentially inlined into Tcl_LsortObjCmd.
+	It is not a straight inlining, two loops over all lists elements where
+	merged in the process: the linked list elements are now built and
+	merged into the temporary sublists in the same pass.
+
+2007-12-25  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: more [lsort] data handling streamlines. Extra
+	mem reqs of latest patches removed, restored to previous mem profile.

+	instead of marking them to avoid reinsertion at the end.
+
+2007-12-23  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd):  TCL_REG_NOSUB cannot
+	* tests/regexp.test (regexp-22.2):		be used because it
+	* tests/regexpComp.test:	[Bug 1857126]	disallows backrefs.
+
+2007-12-21  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+

+
+2007-12-21  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd, Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): avoid

+
+2007-12-21  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): preallocate a listObj of
+	sufficient length for the sorted list instead of growing it. Second
+	commit replaces calls to Tcl_ListObjAppenElement with direct access to
+	the internal rep.
