-

-	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (TclCreateThread): Use NULL instead of 0 as

-

-2006-09-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* generic/tclUtil.c:	Dropped ParseInteger() routine.

-	* 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

-	* 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.

-

-

-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>

-	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.

-	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:

-	* 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].

-

-	* 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.

-	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59

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

-

-	* generic/regc_locale.c (cclass):

-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode):

-	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_ExecObjCmd):

-	* generic/tclListObj.c (NewListIntRep):

-	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetLongFromObj, Tcl_GetWideIntFromObj,

-	                    FreeBignum, Tcl_SetBignumObj):

-	* generic/tclParseExpr.c (Tcl_ParseExpr):

-	* generic/tclStrToD.c (TclParseNumber):

-	* generic/tclStringObj.c (TclAppendFormattedObjs):

-	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadMemory):

-	* 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].

-

-	* 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]

-	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/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>

-	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>

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

-

-	* 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>

-

-	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.

-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'

-

-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

-	NAME, chokes older sed installations.

-

-2006-03-14  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

-

-	on Windows XP/2000.

-	* generic/tclTest.c:

-	* unix/tclUnixTest.c:

-	* win/tclWinTest.c:

-	* tests/fCmd.test: updated test suite to deal with correct permissions

-	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

-

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

-

-	* generic/tclPathObj.c: Revised yesterday's fix for [Bug 1379287] to

-	work on Windows.

-

-

-	* generic/tclPathObj.c:		Fix for failed normalization of paths

-

-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>

-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/tclStubInit.c:

-

-2006-02-01  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

-

-2006-01-26  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

-

-	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel): Tidy up and comment the

-	mess to do with setting up serial channels. This (deliberately) breaks

-	a broken FreeBSD port, indicates what we're really doing, and reduces

-	the amount of conditional compilation sections for better maintenance.

-

-2006-01-25  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

-

-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): Improved conditions on when to

-	update the FP rounding mode on FreeBSD, taken from FreeBSD port.

-

-2006-01-23  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

-

-	* tests/string.test (string-12.21): Added test for [Bug 1410553] based

-	on original bug report.

-

-2006-01-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

-

-	* generic/tclStringObj.c: fixed incorrect handling of internal rep in

-	Tcl_GetRange [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/tclStrToD.c:

-

-	* generic/tclDecls.h:

-	* 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

-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

-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)

-

-	* win/configure: Regen.

-

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

-	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

-	* 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/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.

-	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/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/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.

-	* tests/trace.test: fix duplicate test numbers

-

-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:

-	* win/tclWinFile.c: where appropriate windows API is available, try to

-	set 'nlink' and 'ino' stat fields (previously they were always 0). [Bug

-	1325803]

-

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

-

-	* tests/foreach.test (foreach-8.1): added test for [Bug 1189274]

-

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

-

-	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_INCR_*): fixed [Bug 1334570]. Obj leak

-	detection and patch by Eric Melbardis.

-

-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:

-	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:

-	* generic/tclDictObj.c:

-	* generic/tclExecute.c:

-	* generic/tclLiteral.c:

-	* generic/tclVar.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

-	with a readdir rewind threshold. [Bug 1034337]

-

-2005-10-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

-	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

-	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.

-

-	[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

-

-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>

-	* 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>

-

-

-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>

-

-

-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/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:

-

-	* 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>

-	* 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

-	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

-	symbol from leaking outside the Tcl library. [Bug 1263012]

-

-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.

-

-	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

-

-	* 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.

-

-2005-08-31  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>

-

-	* 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>

-

-	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

-

-	* 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.

-

-	[kennykb-numerics-branch]	Merge updates from HEAD.

-

-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Restored round(.) to the Tcl 8.4 rules.

-

-2005-08-29  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

-

-	* generic/tclBasic.c (ExprMathFunc): Restored "round away from zero"

-	* tests/expr.test (expr-46.*):       behaviour to the "round" function.

-	Added test cases for the behavior, including the awkward case of a

-	number whose fractional part is 1/2-1/2ulp. [Bug 1275043]

-

-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>

-

-	* generic/tclListObj.c (UpdateStringOfList): Stop uncontrolled and

-	unsafe crashes from happening when working with very large string

-	representations. [Bug 1267380]

-

-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC:INST_DICT_LAPPEND): Stop dropping a

-	duplicated object on the floor, which was a memory leak (and a wrong

-	result too). Thanks to Andreas Kupries for reporting this.

-2005-08-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

-

-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Revised implementation of the ceil(.) and

-	* generic/tclInt.h:	floor(.) math functions in light of the

-	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	revised comparison operators, so that it is

-	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

-	comparison operators so that they form proper equivalence classes over

-	the set of numeric strings.

-

-	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	Restored conditional generation of

-2005-08-11  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

-

-	* generic/tclEvent.c:         Eliminated the USE_THREAD_STORAGE option

-	* generic/tclInt.h:           (which is on in every build generated by

-	* generic/tclThread.c:        by the standard configurator).

-	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: Eliminated the code for thread specific

-	* unix/configure:             data without USE_THREAD_STORAGE and

-	* unix/tcl.m4:                radically refactored the code for

-	* unix/tclConfig.h.in:        USE_THREAD_STORAGE so that it has fewer

-	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:         dependencies on the order of

-	* win/configure:              finalization. (Also, made 'make

-	* win/Makefile.in:            distclean' on Windows clean just a little

-	* win/rules.vc:               bit cleaner.)

-	* win/tcl.m4:

-	* win/tclWinThrd.c:

-2005-08-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

-

-	* generic/tclTomMath.h:	Added mp_shrink, mp_to_unsigned_bin,

-	* unix/Makefile.in:	mp_to_unsigned_bin_n, and mp_unsigned_bin_size

-	* win/Makefile.in:	to routines from libtommath used by Tcl.

-	* win/makefile.vc:

-

-	* generic/tommath.h:	make gentommath_h

-

-	* generic/tclObj.c:	Substantial rewrite to make all number parsing

-	flow through TclParseNumber(). Also established the NO_WIDE_TYPE and

-	BIGNUM_AUTO_NARROW #ifdef's to help track the assumptions of different

-	portions of the code.

-

-	* generic/tclInt.h:	Added NO_WIDE_TYPE #ifdefs

-

-2005-08-10  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

-

-	* 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,

-

-2005-08-09  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix to [file rootname] bug in optimized code

-	path reported on comp.lang.tcl.

-

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

-

-	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

-

-	* generic/tclObj.c:	Replaced some goto's with loops and started

-	use of BIGNUM_AUTO_NARROW and NO_WIDE_TYPE.

-

-2005-08-06  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

-

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

-	storage system through the internal stubs table. Client code should

-	always use the standard API.

-

-2005-08-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	[kennykb-numerics-branch]

-	* generic/tclObj.c:	Rewrote Tcl_GetDoubleFromObj().

-

-2005-08-05  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

-

-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (localeTable): Solaris uses a non-standard name

-	for the cp1251 charset. Thanks to Victor Wagner for reporting this.

-	[Bug 1252475]

-

-2005-08-05  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* win/makefile.vc: Removed unused file ldAout.tcl.

-	* win/makefile.bc: [Bug 1244361]

-

-	* tests/binary.test: Cleaned up testing for scanning of NaN. [Bug

-	1246264]

-

-	* generic/tclBasic.c (ExprAbsFunc): Added code to handle the corner

-	* tests/expr.test (expr-38.1):      case of applying 'abs' to the

-	smallest 32-bit integer. [Bug 1241572]

-

-2005-08-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

-

-	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): Fixed comment nit, added apparently

-	missing word to complete a sentence.

-

-	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_DbDecrRefCount): Fixed whitespace nit in panic

-	message.

-

-2005-08-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	[kennykb-numerics-branch] Updated from HEAD

-

-	* generic/tclObj.c:	Rewrote Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj() and supporting

-	routines to make use of TclParseNumber. This reduces the potential

-	number of times a string value must be scanned.

-

-	* generic/tclObj.c:	Simplified routines that manage the typeTable.

-	Deleted the UpdateStringOfBoolean() routine, that can never be called.

-

-2005-08-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:	Untangled some dependencies in the

-	* generic/tclEvent.c:		order of finalization routines.

-	* generic/tclInt.h:		[Bug 1251399]

-	* generic/tclObj.c:

-

-2005-08-02  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-2005-07-30  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpDlopen, TclpLoadMemory): workarounds for

-	bugs/changes in behaviour in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.

-

-2005-07-29  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

-

-	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoGlobalsCmd): Even in high-speed mode, still

-	have to take care with non-existant variables. [Bug 1247135]

-

-2005-07-28  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* win/README: Update link to msys_mingw8.zip.

-

-2005-07-28  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* tests/compExpr-old.test:	Still more conversion of "nonPortable"

-	* tests/error.test:		tests into tests with constraints that

-	* tests/expr-old.test:		describe the limits of their

-	* tests/expr.test:		portability. Also more consolidation

-	* tests/fileName.test:		of constraint synonyms.

-	* tests/format.test:		wideis64bit, 64bitInts => wideIs64bit

-	* tests/get.test:		wideIntegerUnparsed => wideIs32bit

-	* tests/load.test:		wideIntExpressions => wideBiggerThanInt

-	* tests/obj.test:

-	* tests/parseExpr.test:		Dropped "roundOffBug" constraint that

-	* tests/string.test:		protected from buggy sprintf.

-

-2005-07-28  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

-

-	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): Arrange for POSIX systems to

-	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpOpenFile):	 use the O_APPEND flag for

-	* tests/exec.test (exec-19.1):		 files opened in a pipeline

-	like ">>this". Note that Windows cannot support such access; there is

-	no equivalent flag on the handle that can be set at the kernel-call

-	level. The test is unix-specific in every way. [Bug 1245953]

-

-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.

-	* unix/configure.in: Check for a $prefix/share directory and add it the

-	the package if found. This will check for Tcl packages in

-	/usr/local/share when Tcl is configured with the default dist install.

-	[Patch 1231015]

-

-2005-07-26  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CallWhenDeleted):	Converted to use

-	per-thread counter, rather than a process global one that required

-	mutex protection. [RFE 1077194]

-

-	* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclTeardownNamespace):	Re-ordering so that

-	* tests/trace.test (trace-34.4):	command delete traces fire

-	while the command still exists. [Bug 1047286]

-

-2005-07-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* unix/configure: Regen.

-	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PROG_TCLSH, SC_BUILD_TCLSH):

-	* win/configure: Regen.

-	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_PROG_TCLSH, SC_BUILD_TCLSH): Split confused search

-	for tclsh on PATH and build and install locations into two macros.

-	SC_PROG_TCLSH searches just the PATH. SC_BUILD_TCLSH determines the

-	name of the tclsh executable in the Tcl build directory. [Bug 1160114]

-	[Patch 1244153]

-

-2005-07-23  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* library/auto.tcl:	Updates to the Tcl script library to make use

-	* library/history.tcl:	of Tcl 8.4 features. Forward port of

-	* library/init.tcl:	appropriate portions of [Patch 1237755].

-	* library/package.tcl:

-	* library/safe.tcl:

-	* library/word.tcl:

-

-2005-07-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* tests/string.test: Add string is tests for functionality that was not

-	tested.

-	* win/README: Update msys + mingw URL. Remove old Cygwin + mingw info.

-

-2005-07-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

-

-	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_DICT_*): stop 2 compiler warnings for

-	uninitialised variables.

-

-2005-07-23  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

-

-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC:INST_DICT_INCR_IMM): Fix the incrementor

-	to work correctly with wide values.

-

-2005-07-21  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

-

-	* 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

-	exercise more obscure parts of the compiler's operation that were bugs

-	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

-	RefineResult (called from Tcl_StrToD). [Tk Bug 1227781]

-

-2005-07-15  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

-

-	* 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.

-	(TclPrintInstruction): Reorganize to do better printing out of bytecode

-	with far fewer "special hacks" for particular opcodes.

-	* generic/tclCompile.h: Requires two new opcode types.

-

-2005-07-13  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-

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

-	* win/tclWinSock.c:	returned by Tcl_GetHostName() ([info

-	hostname]). Also re-order initialization of the value on Windows to

-	favor GetComputerName() over gethostname() as a source of the

-	information.

-

-2005-07-12  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

-

-	* tclTomMathInterface.c (TclBNInitBignumFromWideUInt):

-	* tests/obj.test (obj-1.1, obj-2.2, obj-3.1, obj-3.2):

-

-	Initial attempt at an implementation of TIP #249, comprising a unified

-	Further integration of the parser is necessary and planned.

-

-2005-07-12  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

-

-	* doc/lsearch.n: Clarify documentation of -exact option; wording was

-	open to misinterpretation by non-English speakers.

-

-2005-07-11  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

-

-	* generic/tclExecute.c: General style cleanup.

-

-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.

-	[Patch 1230205]

-

-2005-07-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* generic/tclLink.c:	Simplified LinkTraceProc [Bug 1208108].

-

-2005-07-05  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* unix/Makefile.in:	Purged use of TCLTESTARGS [RFE 1161550].

-

-	* generic/tclUtil.c:	Converted TclFormatInt() into a macro.

-	* generic/tclInt.decls:	[RFE 1194015]

-	* generic/tclInt.h:

-

-	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:	make genstubs

-	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

-

-	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	Allow for [namespace import] of a command

-	* tests/namespace.test:	over a previous [namespace import] of itself

-	without throwing an error. [RFE 1230597]

-

-2005-07-04  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

-

-	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictForCmd, DictFilterCmd): Interlocking of

-	dictionary internal representations is now done in the core of the dict

-	iterator. Purge the last attempts at doing it at a higher level as they

-	didn't work and were no longer needed.

-

-2005-07-01  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: protect against spurious wake-ups while waiting

-	on the condition variable when tearing down the notifier thread [Bug

-	1222872].

-

-2005-06-28  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* 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

-	wide int type. Add tests that parse the smallest/largest long int and

-	wide int values.

-

-2005-06-24  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

-

-	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize):

-	* generic/tclInt.h:

-	* generic/tclPreserve.c (TclFinalizePreserve): Changed the finalization

-	logic so that Tcl_Preserve finalizes after exit handlers run; a lot of

-	code called from Tk's exit handlers presumes that Tcl_Preserve will

-	still work even from an exit handler.

-

-2005-06-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* library/auto.tcl:	Make file safe to re-[source] without

-	destroying registered auto_mkindex_parser hooks.

-

-2005-06-23  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

-

-	* win/tclWinChan.c: More rewriting of __asm__ blocks that implement

-	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: SEH in GCC, because mingw's gcc 3.4.2 is not as

-	forgiving of violations committed by the old code and caused panics.

-	[Bug 1225957]

-

-2005-06-23  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: fixed useversion glob pattern to accept

-	multi-digit patchlevels.

-

-2005-06-22  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* win/tclWinFile.c: Potential buffer overflow. [Bug 1225571] Thanks to

-	Pat Thoyts for discovery and fix.

-

-2005-06-22  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

-

-	* generic/tclInt.h:			    Changed the finalization

-	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize):	    logic to defer the

-	* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): shutdown of the pipe

-	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclFinalizePipes):    management until after all

-	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclFinalizePipes):	    channels have been closed,

-	in order to avoid a situation where the Windows PipeCloseProc2 would

-	re-establish the exit handler after exit handlers had already run,

-	corrupting the heap. [Bug 1225727] Also corrected a potential read of

-	uninitialized memory in PipeClose2Proc [Bug 1225044]

-

-2005-06-21  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

-

-	* generic/tclInt.h: Followup to change made on 2005-06-18 by Daniel

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

-	WORDS_BIGENDIAN. We have to undef the previous definition (on the

-	command line) first to make this acceptable. (*): AIX native.

-

-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

-	appear with "./" in front when they are in intermediate components of

-	the path. [Bug 1194458]

-	* tests/fileName.test: Added test for the above bug.

-

-2005-06-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Added missing walk of the list of active

-	* generic/tclTrace.c:	traces to cleanup references to traces being

-	* generic/tclInt.h:	deleted. [Bug 1201035] Made the walk of the

-	* tests/trace.test (trace-34.*): active trace list aware of the

-	direction of trace scanning, so the proper correction can be made.

-	[Bug 1224585]

-

-2005-06-21  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

-

-	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS): Only enable the 'compile' special

-	debugging feature when requested in configure.in; removes irrelevant

-	junk from the configure files of extensions that use Tcl's tcl.m4.

-

-2005-06-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

-

-	* generic/tclCompile.h (INST_PUSH_RETURN_OPTIONS): New opcode to allow

-	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode):	   1219112]

-

-2005-06-20  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Generate an error if a mode

-	argument like -exact is passed more than once to the switch command.

-	The previous implementation silently accepted invalid switch

-	invocations like [switch -exact -glob $str ...].

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

-	break inside a for loop next script.

-	* tests/switch.test: Add checks for shortened version of a mode

-	argument like -exact. Add test for more than one mode argument. Add

-	test for odd case of passing a variable as a body script.

-

-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

-	endianness.

-

-	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add -headerpad_max_install_names to LDFLAGS to

-	ensure we can always relocate binaries with install_name_tool.

-2005-06-14  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

-

-	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): Only delete a

-	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-49.2): command from the hashtable on

-	reentrant processing if it has not been already deleted; at least three

-	deletes of the same command are possible. [Bug 1220058]

-	* generic/tclTrace.c (TraceCommandProc): Remove bogus error message

-	creation when traces trigger in situations where the command has

-	already been deleted.

-

-2005-06-13  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

-	* 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

-

-	* 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

-	can use the TCL_ERROR return code to signal any failure to produce

-	bytecode.

-

-	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

-

-	* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): fixed notifier not being

-	finalized in unthreaded core (was testing for notifier initialization

-	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

-

-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.

-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

-	exits. This has been introduced in 8.4.7 within an attempt to correctly

-	cleanup after ourselves when Tcl library is being unloaded with the

-	Tcl_Finalize() call.

-

-	This fixes the [Bug 1178445]

-

-	* generic/tclInt.h: added prototypes for TclpFreeAllocCache() and

-	TclFreeAllocCache()

-

-	* 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

-

-2005-04-13  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

-

-	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpGetEncodingNameFromEnvironment): Reversed

-	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.

-	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/tclThreadTest.c (TclCreateThread): Use NULL instead of 0 as

+
+2006-09-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+	* unix/configure: Regenerated, using autoconf 2.59
+
+	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c (PadBuffer): Fixed bug in calculation of

+
+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).

+
+	* 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.

+	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/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

+
+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

+
+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

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

+
+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

+
+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

+
+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

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

+
+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>

+2006-04-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):	It seems there

+	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].

+
+2006-03-24  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Added a couple of missing

+
+2006-03-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Reverted latest change [Bug 506653] since it

+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.).
+

+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

+	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>
+

+	* 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:
+

+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/tclInt.decls:		-> Tcl_GetEncodingSearchPath
+	* generic/tclInt.h:	TclSetEncodingSearchPath

+	* 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

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

+	<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:

+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>

+	* 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/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:

+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).

+	* 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.

+
+	* generic/tclInt.h:
+	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
+	* generic/tclVar.c:
+	* tests/trace.test: fix for [Bugs 1338280/1337229]; changed to use the

+	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/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:
+	* win/tclWinFile.c: where appropriate windows API is available, try to
+	set 'nlink' and 'ino' stat fields (previously they were always 0). [Bug
+	1325803]
+
+2005-10-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* tests/foreach.test (foreach-8.1): added test for [Bug 1189274]
+
+2005-10-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_INCR_*): fixed [Bug 1334570]. Obj leak

+
+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:

+	* generic/tclDictObj.c:
+	* generic/tclExecute.c:
+	* generic/tclLiteral.c:
+	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:

+	* generic/tclVar.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

+
+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).

+
+	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.

+	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

+
+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

+
+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

+	* generic/tommath.h:             Regenerated.
+	* generic/tclTomMathInterface.h: Added ten missing aliases for mp_*

+
+2005-09-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	[kennykb-numerics-branch]
+
+	* unix/Makefile.in:	Added -DMP_PREC=4 switch to all compiles so

+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>

+
+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/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/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/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

+	* 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

+	* 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

+	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

+
+	* 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

+
+	* generic/tclIntDecls.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

+
+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.
+

+
+2005-05-08  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/tclStrToD.c: from TclInitSubsystems to avoid double checked
+	locking protocol. Cleaned up an issue where MSVC ignored the

+
+	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

+
+	* 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.

+
+	* 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

+	<rossc@cisco.com> where [read stdin 1] was grabbing 10 bytes followed

+	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.
