+2011-05-09 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclListObj.c: Revise empty string tests so that we avoid
+ potentially expensive string rep generations, especially for dicts.
+
+2011-05-07 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: fix USE_TCLALLOC so that it can be enabled
+ * unix/Makefile.in: without editing the Makefile
+
+2011-05-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclListObj.c: Stop generating string rep of dict when
+ converting to list. Tolerate NULL interps more completely.
+
+2011-05-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclUtil.c: Tighten Tcl_SplitList().
+ * generic/tclListObj.c: Tighten SetListFromAny().
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c: Tighten SetDictFromAny().
+
+2011-05-02 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Revised TclFindElement() interface. The
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c: final argument had been bracePtr, the address
+ * generic/tclListObj.c: of a boolean var, where the caller can be told
+ * generic/tclParse.c: whether or not the parsed list element was
+ * generic/tclUtil.c: enclosed in braces. In practice, no callers
+ really care about that. What the callers really want to know is
+ whether the list element value exists as a literal substring of the
+ string being parsed, or whether a call to TclCopyAndCollpase() is
+ needed to produce the list element value. Now the final argument
+ is changed to do what callers actually need. This is a better fit
+ for the calls in tclParse.c, where now a good deal of post-processing
+ checking for "naked backslashes" is no longer necessary.
+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+ For any callers calling in via the internal stubs table who really
+ do use the final argument explicitly to check for the enclosing brace
+ scenario. Simply looking for the braces where they must be is the
+ revision available to those callers, and it will backport cleanly.
+
+ * tests/parse.test: Tests for expanded literals quoting detection.
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c: New TclFindElement() is also a better
+ fit for the [switch] compiler.
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Replace TclCountSpaceRuns() with
+ * generic/tclListObj.c: TclMaxListLength() which is the function we
+ * generic/tclUtil.c: actually want.
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c:
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c: Rewrite of parts of the switch compiler to
+ better use the powers of TclFindElement() and do less parsing on
+ its own.
+
+2011-04-28 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: New utility routines:
+ * generic/tclParse.c: TclIsSpaceProc() and
+ * generic/tclUtil.c: TclCountSpaceRuns()
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Use new routines to replace calls to
+ * generic/tclListObj.c: isspace() and their /* INTL */ risk.
+ * generic/tclStrToD.c:
+ * generic/tclUtf.c:
+ * unix/tclUnixFile.c:
+
+2011-04-27 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclListObj.c: FreeListInternalRep() cleanup.
+
+ * generic/tclBinary.c: Backport fix for [Bug 2857044].
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c: All freeIntRepProcs set typePtr to NULL.
+ * generic/tclEncoding.c:
+ * generic/tclIndexObj.c:
+ * generic/tclListObj.c:
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c:
+ * generic/tclObj.c:

+2011-04-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Use macro to set List intreps.
+ * generic/tclListObj.c:
+
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c: Limits on list length were too strict.
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Revised panics to errors where possible.
+ * generic/tclListObj.c:
+
+ * generic/tclCompile.c: Make sure SetFooFromAny routines react
+ * generic/tclIO.c: reasonably when passed a NULL interp.
+ * generic/tclIndexObj.c:
+ * generic/tclListObj.c:
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c:
+ * generic/tclObj.c:

+2011-04-21 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: fix for [Bug 3288345]: Wrong Tcl_StatBuf
+ * generic/tclInt.h: used on MinGW. Make sure that all _WIN32
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: compilers use exactly the same layout
+ * win/configure.in: for Tcl_StatBuf - the one used by MSVC6 -
+ * win/configure: in all situations.
+
+2011-04-20 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclFCmd.c (TclFileAttrsCmd): Added commands to reset the
+ typePtr of the Tcl_Obj* whose int-rep was just purged. Required to
+ prevent a dangling IndexRep* to reused, smashing the heap. See
+ also the entries at 2011-04-16 and 2011-03-24 for the history of
+ the problem.
+
+2011-04-19 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclConfig.c: Reduce internals access in the implementation
+ of [<foo>::pkgconfig list].
+
+2011-04-18 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c: Use ListRepPtr(.) and other cleanup.
+ * generic/tclConfig.c:
+ * generic/tclListObj.c:
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Define and use macros that test whether
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: a Tcl list value is canonical.
+ * generic/tclUtil.c:
+
+2011-04-16 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclFCmd.c (TclFileAttrsCmd): Tidied up the memory management
+ a bit to try to ensure that the dynamic and static cases don't get
+ confused while still promoting caching where possible. Added a panic
+ to trap problems in the case where an extension is misusing the API.
+
+2011-04-13 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclUtil.c: [Bug 3285375]: Rewrite of Tcl_Concat*()
+ routines to prevent segfaults on buffer overflow. Build them out of
+ existing primitives already coded to handle overflow properly. Uses
+ the new TclTrim*() routines.
+
+ * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: New internal utility routines TclTrimLeft()
+ * generic/tclInt.h: and TclTrimRight(). Refactor the
+ * generic/tclUtil.c: [string trim*] implementations to use them.
+
+2011-04-13 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c: [Bug 2662380]: Fix crash caused by appending to a
+ variable with a write trace that unsets it.
+
+2011-04-12 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c: [Bug 3285472]: Repair corruption in
+ * tests/string.test: [string reverse] when string rep invalidation
+ failed to also reset the bytes allocated for string rep to zero.
+

+
+2011-04-02 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+

+2011-03-24 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclFCmd.c (TclFileAttrsCmd): Ensure that any reference to

+ around to trip us up in the future.

+2011-03-14 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
