This required a complete reimplementation - of the command to avoid using scanf(), which isn't Unicode aware. - Two new features were added in the process: %n to return the - current number of characters consumed, and XPG3-style %n$ argument - order specifiers similar to those provided by the "format" - command. [Bug: 833] - - * tclAlloc.c: changed so allocated memory is always 8-byte aligned - to improve memory performance and to ensure that it will work on - systems that don't like accessing 4-byte aligned values - (e.g. Solaris and HP-UX). [Bug: 834] - -1998-11-06 <stanton@GASPODE> - - * tclVar.c (TclGetIndexedScalar): Fixed bug 796, var name was - getting lost before being passed to CallTraces. - -1998-10-21 <stanton@GASPODE> - - * added "encoding" command - - * Moved internal regexp declarations from tclInt.h to tclRegexp.h - - * integrated regexp updates from Henry Spencer - -1998-10-15 <stanton@GASPODE> - - * tclUtf.c: added Unicode character table support - - * tclInt.h: added TclUniCharIsWordChar - - * tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): added "totitle" subcommand, - changed "wordend" and "wordstart" to properly handle Unicode word - characters and connector punctuation - -1998-10-05 <stanton@GASPODE> - - * auto.tcl, package.tcl: fixed SCCS strings - - * tclIndex: updated index to reflect 8.1 files - - * tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): changed to avoid modifying the - input string in place because name lookup operations could have - arbitrary side effects - - * tclInterp.c: added guard against deleting current interpreter - - * tclMacFile.c, tclUnixFile.c, tclWinFile.c, tclFileName.c: added - warnings around code that modifies strings in place - - * tclExecute.c: fixed off-by-one copying error, fixed merge bugs - - * tclEvent.c: changed so USE_TCLALLOC is tested for value instead - of definition - - * tclCompCmds.c: replaced SCCS strings, added warnings around code - that modifies strings in place - - * interp.test: added test for interp deleting itself - -1998-09-30 <stanton@GASPODE> - - * makefile.vc: fixed so TCL_LIBRARY is set before running tcltest - - * tclWin32Dll.c: removed TclpFinalize, cleanup of merges - + ***************************************************** + *** FURTHER CHANGELOG ENTRIES IN "ChangeLog.1999" *** + ***************************************************** |
