These shlbs are merged into the standard + Wish and TclShell, but 3rd party applications linking with Tcl.shlb or + Tk.shlb need to setup access to them.

On OSX you can use the + native Tcl.framework, but you have to build a MachO binary as there + is no CFM glue lib for Tcl.framework. + the library pseudoCarbonSupport.shlb manually loads the symbols + from InterfaceLib that are not in CarbonLib but are needed by the + uncarbonized code in Tcl.shlb and TclShell. + + * generic/tclMain.c: MAC_TCL: workaround for broken/non-standard isatty + on MW Pro6, #include <unistd.h> instead of defining isatty + + * mac/tclMacPort.h: MW Pro6 changes for MSL fcntl.h, stat.h & isatty + + * mac/tclMacAppInit.c: add EXTERN to InstallConsole to enable DLL + export via the TCL_STORAGE_CLASS mechanism. + + * mac/tclMacFCmd.c: fix for FSpDirectoryCopy API change + + * mac/tclMacLibrary.c: emit compile time error when + TCL_REGISTER_LIBRARY and USE_TCL_STUBS are both defined at the same + time in an extension, this use is not currently supported and will + result in a crash when dynamically loading the extension. + + * mac/tclMacApplication.r: + * mac/tclMacLibrary.r: + * mac/tclMacOSA.r: + * mac/tclMacResource.r: fixed obsolete copyrights/dates in version + strings; updated version strings to standard usage; added support for + '(Support Libraries)' subfolder for shared runtime libraries in + unmerged binaries; commented out demo setting of "Tcl Environment + Variables"; reorganized resources among these files to avoid + multiple copies in applications and shared libraries, the script + libraries are now no longer duplicated in Tclsh but are only included + in the resources of Tcl.shlb. + + * mac/tclMacChan.c: + * mac/tclMacSock.c: cast for *BlockMode + + * mac/tclMacUtil.c: + * mac/tclMacMath.h: removed obsolete hypot() definition + + * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: + * generic/tclInt.decls: + * generic/tclStubInit.c: + * mac/tclMacNotify.c: + * mac/tclMacOSA.c: + * mac/tclMacUtil.c: + * generic/tclThreadTest.c: renamed routines conflicting with standard + Apple or MoreFiles headers (at compile or link time): + GetGlobalMouse -> GetGlobalMouseTcl + FSpGetDirectoryID -> FSpGetDirectoryIDTcl + FSpOpenResFileCompat -> FSpOpenResFileCompatTcl + FSpCreateResFileCompat -> FSpCreateResFileCompatTcl + NewThread -> NewTestThread + the renamed MoreFiles *Tcl routines are just wrappers calling into the + MoreFiles DLL. + + * mac/tclMacCommonPch.h: + * mac/tclMacThrd.c: + * mac/tclMacPanic.c: removed OLDROUTINENAMES define, renamed obsolete + apple API names to modern equivalents; UH3.4 support: added #include + <ControlDefinitions.h>, updated New*Proc() calls to New*UPP(). + + * mac/tclMacUnix.c: added missing (Tcl_Obj ***) cast to + Tcl_ListObjGetElements call + + * mac/tclMacAlloc.c: modernized TclpSysAlloc() to use temporary + memory instead of system heap memory when available (MacOS + >= 7.5 and possibly earlier, use of system heap has been + discouraged for a long time and has many disadvantages, e.g. memory + isn't paged out, and errors can very easily bring the system down); + fixed crashing bug in TclpSysRealloc() and CleanUpExitProc() where + memory was being accessed after having been deallocated; fixed + memory leak in (de)allocation code (for every block ever allocated + with TclpSysAlloc, a Ptr was leaked), if temporary memory is + available, don't track allocated memory, instead use + RecoverHandle() to get Handle from Ptr, otherwise use doubly linked + list to correctly track memory and free all allocated memory; added + new option for ConfigureMemory: MEMORY_DONT_USE_TEMPMEM, disables + use of temporary memory even when it would be available, only + necessary when writing e.g. a driver (using tcl??); increased + fraction of application heap reserved for OS routines to 512K + + * compat/strftime.c: + * mac/tclMacTime.c: + * mac/tclMacPort.h: + * generic/tclInt.decls: + * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: + * generic/tclStubInit.c: timezone support for mac via + TclpGetTZName() like on windows, using an inverse timezone table + adapted from tclDate.c to map gmtoffset in seconds gotten from + the MacOS APIs to a timezone string, as there is no good way to get + this info from MacOS.
