- *** 8.5.6 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+2008-12-28 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
- * generic/tcl.h: Bump to 8.5.6 for release.
+ * generic/tclZlib.c (Tcl_ZlibStreamPut): Plug a memory leak.
+
+2008-12-27 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclZlib.c (ZlibStreamCmd): Fix compilation consistency. [Bug
+ * generic/tcl.decls: 2470237]
+
+ * generic/tclZlib.c (Tcl_ZlibStreamGet): Corrected the semantics of
+ this function to be useful to the PNG implementation. If the argument
+ object is empty, this gives the previous semantics.
+ (Tcl_ZlibStreamChecksum): Corrected name to be less misleading; it
+ only produced Adler-32 checksums when the stream was processing the
+ right type of compressed data format.
+ (Tcl_ZlibAdler32, Tcl_ZlibCRC32): Corrected types so that they work
+ naturally with the results of Tcl_GetByteArrayFromObj().
+ *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** for all above changes, but very
+ unlikely to be difficult for anyone to deal with.
+
+2008-12-26 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tcl.decls: Tidy up the commenting style, adding markers for
+ each of the big release points under TCT stewardship and noting the
+ general purpose of each TIP that added C API. Overall effect is to
+ make this file much more informative to read without having to spend
+ effort correlating with TIPs and ChangeLogs.

+
+ * win/Makefile.in: Renamed the static library libtcl86s.a to
+ * win/configure.in: have a name distinct from the import library
+ libtcl86.a. This renaming dodges an ancient
+ bug in the Makefile revealed by the last
+ commit where the $(TCL_LIB_FILE) rule can
+ fire to try to build the static library in a
+ --enable-shared build (and create a static
+ library that subsequently fails to link).
+ Revised the zlib objects so that they are
+ built directly into the build dir, without
+ building an intermediate static library.

+ embedders who link to the static library, but

- an inability to join the threads as the ids cannot be matched.
