[Bug 1837392] + +2007-11-23 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com> + + * generic/tclIORChan.c: Fixed a problem with reflected channels. 'chan + postevent' is defined to work only from within the interpreter + containing the handler command. Sensible, we want only handler + commands to use it. It identifies the channel by handle. The channel + moves to a different interpreter or thread. The interpreter containing + the handler command doesn't know the channel any longer. 'chan + postevent' fails, not finding the channel any longer. Uhm. + + Fixed by creating a second per-interpreter channel table, just for + reflected channels, where each interpreter remembers for which + reflected channels it has the handler command. This info does not move + with the channel itself. The table is updated by 'chan create', and + used by 'chan postevent'. + + * tests/ioCmd.test: Updated the testsuite. + +2007-11-23 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com> + + * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): handle the right data for + * tests/var.test (var-14.2): [array names $var -glob $ptn] + +2007-11-23 Donal K.

Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net> + + * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileEnsemble): Rewrote the ensemble + compiler to remove many of the limitations. Can now compile scripts + that use unique prefixes of subcommands, and which have mappings of a + command to multiple words (provided the first is a compilable command + of course). + +2007-11-21 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk> + + * generic/tclNamesp.c (TclMakeEnsemble): Factor out the code to set up + a core ensemble from a table of information about subcommands, ready + for reuse within the core. + + * generic/various: Start to return more useful Error codes, currently + mainly on assorted lookup failures. + +2007-11-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net> + + * generic/tclDictObj.c: Changed the underlying implementation of the + hash table used in dictionaries to additionally keep all entries in + the hash table in a linked list, which is only ever added to at the + end. This makes iteration over all entries in the dictionary in + key insertion order a trivial operation, and so cleans up a great deal + of complexity relating to dictionary representation and stability of + iteration order. + + ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** + For any code that depended on the (strange) old iteration order. + + * generic/tclConfig.c (QueryConfigObjCmd): Correct usage of + Tcl_WrongNumArgs. + +2007-11-19 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net> + + *** 8.5b3 TAGGED FOR RELEASE *** + + * README: Bump version number to 8.5b3. + * generic/tcl.h: + * library/init.tcl: + * tools/tcl.wse.in: + * unix/configure.in: + * unix/tcl.spec: + * win/configure.in: + + * unix/configure: autoconf (2.59) + * win/configure: + + * changes: Updated for 8.5b3 release. + +2007-11-19 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net> + + * library/tzdata/Africa/Cairo: + * library/tzdata/America/Campo_Grande: + * library/tzdata/America/Caracas: + * library/tzdata/America/Cuiaba: + * library/tzdata/America/Havana: + * library/tzdata/America/Sao_Paulo: + * library/tzdata/Asia/Damascus: + * library/tzdata/Asia/Gaza: + * library/tzdata/Asia/Tehran: Olson's tzdata2007i imported. + +2007-11-18 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net> + + * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode:INST_EXIST_*): Fix read + traces not firing on non-existent array elements.

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.
