+ *** 8.5.6 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Bump to 8.5.6 for release.
+ * library/init.tcl:
+ * tools/tcl.wse.in:
+ * unix/configure.in:
+ * unix/tcl.spec:
+ * win/configure.in:
+ * README:
+
+ * unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
+ * win/configure:
+
+ * changes: Update for 8.5.6 release.
+
+ * library/tclIndex: Removed reference to no-longer-extant procedure
+ 'tclLdAout'.
+ * doc/library.n: Corrected mention of 'auto_exec' to 'auto_execok'.
+ [Patch 2114900] thanks to Stu Cassoff <stwo@users.sf.net>
+ Backport of 2008-11-26 commit from Kevin Kenny.
+
+ * win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpThreadCreate): We need to initialize the
+ thread id variable to 0 as on 64 bit windows this is a pointer sized
+ field while windows only fills it with a 32 bit value. The result is
+ an inability to join the threads as the ids cannot be matched.
+ Backport of 2008-10-13 commit from Pat Thoyts.
+
+2008-12-15 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC:INST_DICT_GET): Make sure that the result
+ is empty when generating an error message. [Bug 2431847]
+
+2008-12-12 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * library/clock.tcl (ProcessPosixTimeZone): Fix time change in Eastern
+ Europe (not 3:00 but 4:00 local time). [Bug 2207436]
+
+2008-12-11 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (SetChannelFromAny and related): Modified the
+ * tests/io.test: internal representation of the tclChannelType to
+ contain not only the ChannelState pointer, but also a reference to
+ the interpreter it was made in. Invalidate and recompute the
+ internal representation when it is used in a different interpreter,
+ like cmdName intrep's. Added testcase. [Bug 2407783]
+
+2008-12-11 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * library/clock.tcl (ProcessPosixTimeZone): Fallback to European time
+ zone DST rules, when the timezone is between 0 and -12. [Bug 2207436]
+ * tests/clock.test (clock-52.[23]): Test cases for [Bug 2207436]
+
+2008-12-10 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * library/tzdata/*: Update from Olson's tzdata2008i.
+
+2008-12-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclPathObj.c (Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath): Added another
+ flag value TCLPATH_NEEDNORM to mark those intreps which need more
+ complete normalization attention for correct results. [Bug 2385549]
+
+2008-12-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclFileName.c (DoGlob): One of the Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory
+ calls did not have its return code checked. This caused error messages
+ returned by some Tcl_Filesystem drivers to be swallowed.
+
+2008-12-02 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): Replaced Alexandre
+ Ferrieux's first patch for [Bug 2270477] with a gentler version, also
+ supplied by him.
+
+2008-12-01 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclParse.c: Backport fix for [Bug 2251175].
+
+2008-11-30 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * library/clock.tcl (format, ParseClockScanFormat): Added a [string
+ map] to get rid of namespace delimiters before caching a scan or
+ format procedure. [Bug 2362156]
+ * tests/clock.test (clock-64.[12]): Added test cases for the bug that
+ was tickled by a namespace delimiter inside a format string.
+
+2008-11-25 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): Applied Alexandre
+ Ferrieux's patch for [Bug 2270477] to prevent infinite looping during
+ finalization of channels not bound to interpreters.
+
+2008-08-23 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c: Backport of fix for [Bug 2333466].
+
+2008-11-18 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tcl.decls: Fix signature and implementation of
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: Tcl_HashStats, such that it conforms to the
+ * generic/tclHash.c: documentation. [Bug 2308236]
+ * doc/Hash.3:
+
+2008-11-13 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Rename static function FSUnloadTempFile to
+ * generic/tclIOUtil.c: TclFSUnloadTempFile, needed in tclLoad.c
+

+ objects leaves temporary files on windows.
+
+2008-11-10 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * doc/platform_shell.n: Fixed [Bug 2255235], reported by Ulrich
+ * library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: Ring <uring@users.sourceforge.net>.
+ * library/platform/shell.tcl: Updated the LOCATE command in the
+ * library/tm.tcl: package 'platform::shell' to handle the new form
+ * unix/Makefile.in: of 'provide' commands generated by tm.tcl. Bumped
+ * win/Makefile.in: package to version 1.1.4. Added cross-references
+ to the relevant parts of the code to avoid future desynchronization.
+
+2008-11-04 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * generic/tclPort.h: Remove the ../win/ header dir as the build system
+ already has it, and it confuses builds when used with private headers
+ installed.
+
+2008-10-24 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * library/http/http.tcl: Backported a fix for reading HTTP-like
+ protocols that used to work and were broken with http 2.7. Now http
+ 2.7.2
+
+2008-10-23 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+ after they are used. [Bug 2152286]
+
+2008-10-16 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * library/init.tcl: Revised [unknown] so that it carefully
+ preserves the state of the ::errorInfo and ::errorCode variables at
+ the start of auto-loading and restores that state before the
+ autoloaded command is evaluated. [Bug 2140628]
+
+2008-10-10 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ *** 8.5.5 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***

+
+2008-10-08 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclTrace.c: Corrected handling of errors returned by
+ variable traces so that the errorInfo value contains the original
+ error message. [Bug 2151707]
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c: Revised implementation of TclObjVarErrMsg so
+ that error message construction does not disturb an existing
+ iPtr->errorInfo that may be in progress.
+
+2008-10-06 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * tclWinTest.c: Fix compiler warning when compiling this file with
+ mingw gcc:
+ tclWinTest.c:706: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will
+ break strict-aliasing rules
+ * generic/tclLoad.c: Make sure that any library which doesn't have an
+ unloadproc is only really unloaded when no library code is executed
+ yet. [Bug 2059262]
+
+2008-10-06 Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>
+
+ * tools/man2tcl.c: Added missing line from patch by Harald Oehlmann.
+ [Bug 1934200]
+
+2008-10-05 Kevin B, Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * libtommath/bn_mp_sqrt.c (bn_mp_sqrt): Handle the case where a
+ * tests/expr.test (expr-47.13): number's square root is
+ between n<<DIGIT_BIT and n<<DIGIT_BIT+1. [Bug 2143288]
+ Thanks to Malcolm Boffey (malcolm.boffey@virgin.net) for the patch.
+
+2008-10-02 Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>

+
+2008-09-27 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LrepeatObjCmd): Improve the handling of the
+ case where the combination of number of elements and repeat count
+ causes the resulting list to be too large. [Bug 2130992]
+
+2008-09-25 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/global.n: Correct false claim about [info locals].
+
+2008-09-17 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Correct the TclGetLongFromObj, TclGetIntFromObj,
+ and TclGetIntForIndexM macros so that they retrieve the longValue
+ field from the internalRep instead of casting the otherValuePtr field
+ to type long.
+
+2008-09-17 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * library/init.tcl: Export min and max commands from the mathfunc
+ namespace. [Bug 2116053]
+
+2008-09-10 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclListObj.c (Tcl_ListObjGetElements): Make this list->dict
+ transformation - encountered when using [foreach] with dicts - not as
+ expensive as it was before. Spotted by Kieran Elby and reported on
+ tcl-core.
+
+2008-09-07 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * doc/namespace.n: Fix [Bug 2098441]
+
+2008-08-28 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Bump version number to 8.5.5b1 to distinguish

+ * win/configure:
+
+2008-08-22 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclUtil.c (TclReToGlob): Added missing set of the
+ *exactPtr value to really fix [Bug 2065115]. Also avoid possible
+ DString overflow.
+ * tests/regexpComp.test: Correct duplicate test names.
+
+2008-08-21 Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@ActiveState.com>
+
+ * tests/regexp.test, tests/regexpComp.test: Correct re2glob ***=
+ * generic/tclUtil.c (TclReToGlob): translation from exact
+ to anywhere-in-string match. [Bug 2065115]
+
+2008-08-20 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclTest.c (TestconcatobjCmd): Fix use of internal-only
+ TclInvalidateStringRep macro. [Bug 2057479]
+
+2008-08-17 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclTest.c (TestconcatobjCmd):
+ * generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_ConcatObj):
+ * tests/util.test (util-4.7):
+ Fix [Bug 1447328]; the original "fix" turned Tcl_ConcatObj() into a
+ hairy monster. This was exposed by [Bug 2055782]. Additionally,
+ Tcl_ConcatObj could corrupt its input under certain conditions!
+
+ *** NASTY BUG FIXED ***
+
+2008-08-14 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ *** 8.5.4 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
+
+ * tests/fileName.test: Revise new tests for portability to case
+ insensitive filesystems.
+
+2008-08-14 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompile.h: Add support for debug logging of DTrace
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: 'proc', 'cmd' and 'inst' probes (does
+ _not_ require a platform with DTrace).
+
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c (TclInfoFrame): Check fPtr->line before
+ dereferencing as line info may
+ not exists when TclInfoFrame()
+ is called from a DTrace probe.
+
+ * tests/msgcat.test: Fix for ::tcl::mac::locale with
+ @modifier (HEAD backport 2008-06-01).
+
+ * tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-6.23): Made result matching robust when test
+ workdir and /tmp are not on same FS.
+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: Ensure Makefile shell is /bin/bash for
+ * unix/configure.in (SunOS): DTrace-enabled build on Solaris.
+ (followup to 2008-06-12) [Bug 2016584]
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_X): Check for libX11.dylib in addition to
+ libX11.so et al.
+
+ * unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
+
+2008-08-13 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclFileName.c: Fix for errors handling -types {}
+ * tests/fileName.test: option to [glob]. [Bug 1750300]
+ Thanks to Matthias Kraft and George Peter Staplin.
+
+2008-08-12 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * changes: Update for 8.5.4 release.
+
+2008-08-11 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * library/http/http.tcl: Remove 8.5 requirement.
+ * library/http/pkgIndex.tcl:
+ * unix/Makefile.in:
+ * win/Makefile.in:
+ * win/makefile.vc:
+
+2008-08-11 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * library/tm.tcl: Added a 'package provide' command to the generated
+ ifneeded scripts of Tcl Modules, for early detection of conflicts
+ between the version specified through the file name and a 'provide'
+ command in the module implementation, if any. Note that this change
+ also now allows Tcl Modules to not provide a 'provide' command at all,
+ and declaring their version only through their filename.
+
+ * generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_ProcObjCmd): Fixed memory leak triggered by
+ * tests/proc.test: procbody::test::proc. See [Bug 2043636]. Added a
+ test case demonstrating the leak before the fix. Fixed a few spelling
+ errors in test descriptions as well.
+
+2008-08-11 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * library/http/http.tcl: Bump http version to 2.7.1 to account
+ * library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: for [Bug 2046486] bug fix. This
+ * unix/Makefile.in: release of http now requires a
+ * win/Makefile.in: dependency on Tcl 8.5 to be able to
+ * win/makefile.bc: use the unsigned formats in the
+ * win/makefile.vc: [binary scan] command.
+
+2008-08-11 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * library/http/http.tcl: CRC field from zlib data should be treated as
+ unsigned for 64bit support. [Bug 2046846]
+
+2008-08-08 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+

+2008-08-06 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupSimpleVar): Retrieve the number of
+ locals in the localCache from the CallFrame and not from the Proc
+ which may have been mangled by a (broken?) recompile. Backport from
+ the HEAD.
+
+2008-08-04 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: Stopped faulty double-logging of errors to
+ * tests/execute.test: stack trace when a compile epoch bump triggers
+ fallback to direct evaluation of commands in a compiled script.
+ [Bug 2037338]
+
+2008-07-30 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Corrected the timing of when the flag
+ TCL_ALLOW_EXCEPTIONS is tested.
+
+2008-07-29 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: fix [Bug 2030670] that cause
+ TclStackRealloc to panic on rare corner cases. Thx ajpasadyn for
+ diagnose and patch.
+
+2008-07-28 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Added missing ref count when creating an empty
+ string as path (TclEvalEx). In 8.4 the missing code caused panics in
+ the testsuite. It doesn't in 8.5. I am guessing that the code path
+ with the missing the incr-refcount is not invoked any longer. Because
+ the bug in itself is certainly the same.
+
+2008-07-25 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/info.test (info-37.0): Add !singleTestInterp constraint;
+ (info-22.8, info-23.0): switch to glob matching to avoid sensitivity
+ to tcltest.tcl line number changes, remove knownBug constraint, fix
+ expected result. [Bug 1605269]
+
+2008-07-25 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * tests/info.test: Tests 38.* added, exactly testing the tracking of
+ location for uplevel scripts.
+
+ * generic/tclCompile.c (TclInitCompileEnv): Reorganized the
+ initialization of the #280 location information to match the flow in
+ TclEvalObjEx to get more absolute contexts.
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjEx): Moved the pure-list optimization
+ out of the eval-direct code path to be done always, i.e. even when a
+ compile is requested. This way we do not loose the association between
+ #280 location information and the list elements, if any.
+
+2008-07-23 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * tests/info.test: Reordered the tests to have monotonously increasing
+ numbers.
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Modified TclArgumentGet to reject pure lists
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c: immediately, without search. Reworked setup of
+ * generic/tclCompile.c: eoFramePtr, doesn't need the line information,
+ * tests/info.test: more sensible to have everything on line 1 when
+ eval'ing a pure list. Updated the users of the line information to
+ special case this based on the frame type (i.e.
+ TCL_LOCATION_EVAL_LIST). Added a testcase demonstrating the new
+ behaviour.
+
+2008-07-22 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Added missing function comments.
+
+ * generic/tclCompile.c: Made the new TclEnterCmdWordIndex
+ * generic/tclCompile.h: static, and ansified.
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Reworked the handling of bytecode literals for
+ * generic/tclCompile.c: #280 to fix the abysmal performance for deep
+ * generic/tclCompile.h: recursion, replaced the linear search through
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: the whole stack with another hashtable and
+ * generic/tclInt.h: simplified the data structure used by the compiler
+ by using an array instead of a hashtable. Incidentially this also
+ fixes the memory leak reported via [Bug 2024937].
+
+2008-07-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/encoding.test: Make failing tests pass again. [Bug 1972867]
+
+2008-07-21 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Extended the existing TIP #280 system (info
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c: frame), added the ability to track the
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c: absolute location of literal procedure
+ * generic/tclCompile.c: arguments, and making this information
+ * generic/tclCompile.h: available to uplevel, eval, and
+ * generic/tclInterp.c: siblings. This allows proper tracking of
+ * generic/tclInt.h: absolute location through custom (Tcl-coded)
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c: control structures based on uplevel, etc.
+ * generic/tclProc.c:
+
+2008-07-21 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclFCmd.c: Inodes on windows are unreliable [Bug 2015723]
+
+2008-07-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclDictObj.c (SetDictFromAny): Make the list->dict
+ transformation a bit more efficient; modern dicts are ordered and so
+ we can round-trip through lists without needing the string rep at all.
+ * generic/tclListObj.c (SetListFromAny): Make the dict->list
+ transformation not lossy of internal representations and hence more
+ efficient. [Bug 2008248] (ajpasadyn) but using a more efficient patch.
+
+2008-07-15 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * doc/DictObj.3: Fix error in example. [Bug 2016740]
+
+2008-07-08 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclGet.c: Corrected out of date comments.
+
+2008-07-07 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoFrameCmd): Fixed unsafe idiom of setting
+ the interp result found by Don Porter.
+
+2008-07-07 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * doc/regexp.n, doc/regsub.n: Correct examples. [Bug 1982642]
+
+2008-07-04 Joe English <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclEncoding.c(UtfToUtfProc): Avoid unwanted sign extension
+ when converting incomplete UTF-8 sequences. See [Bug 1908443] for
+ details.
+
+2008-07-03 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIORChan.c (InvokeTclMethod): Fixed the memory leak
+ reported in [Bug 1987821]. Thanks to Miguel for the report and Don
+ Porter for tracking the cause down.
+
+2008-07-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * library/package.tcl: Removed [file readable] testing from
+ [tclPkgUnknown] and friends. We find out soon enough whether a file is
+ readable when we try to [source] it, and not testing before allows us
+ to workaround the bugs on some common filesystems where [file
+ readable] lies to us. [Patch 1969717]
+
+2008-06-29 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+ * unix/Makefile.in: Followup to my change of 2008-06-25, make code

+
+ * changes: Update for 8.5.3 release.
+
+2008-06-25 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * library/tm.tcl: Modified the handling of Tcl Modules and of the

+ * library/init.tcl: enabling requiring Tcl Modules in safe
+ * tests/safe.test: interpreters. [Bug 1999119]
+
+2008-06-25 Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/rules.vc: Backported fix for dde/registry versions and
+ * win/makefile.vc: the staticpkg build option
+
+2008-06-24 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclPathObj.c: Fixed some internals management in the "path"
+ Tcl_ObjType for the empty string value. Problem led to a crash in the
+ command [glob -dir {} a]. [Bug 1999176]
+
+2008-06-23 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclPathObj.c: Fixed bug in Tcl_GetTranslatedPath() when
+ operating on the "Special path" variant of the "path" Tcl_ObjType
+ intrep. A full normalization was getting done, in particular, coercing
+ relative paths to absolute, contrary to what the function of producing
+ the "translated path" is supposed to do. [Bug 1972879]
+
+2008-06-19 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * changes: Update for 8.5.3 release.
+
+ * generic/tclInterp.c: Fixed completely boneheaded mistake that
+ * tests/interp.test: [interp bgerror $slave] and [$slave bgerror]
+ would always act like [interp bgerror {}]. [Bug 1999035]
+
+ * tests/chanio.test: Corrected flawed tests revealed by a -debug 1

+
+ * doc/tm.n: Followup to changelog entry 2008-03-18 regarding

+
+2008-06-17 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * generic/tclClock.c (ConvertLocalToUTC):
+ * tests/clock.test (clock-63.1): Fixed a bug where the internal
+ ConvertLocalToUTC command segfaulted if passed a dictionary without
+ the 'localSeconds' key. To the best of my knowledge, the bug was not
+ observable in the [clock] command itself.
+
+2008-06-16 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclCmdIL.c (TclInfoFrame): Backport of fix made on the
+ * tests/info.test: head branch :: Moved the code looking up the
+ information for key 'proc' out of the TCL_LOCATION_BC branch to
+ after the switch, this is common to all frame types. Updated the
+ testsuite to match. This was exposed by the 2008-06-08 commit
+ (Miguel), switching uplevel from direct eval to compilation. Fixes
+ [Bug 1987851].

+2008-05-23 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * win/tclWinChan.c (FileWideSeekProc): Accepted a patch by Alexandre

+ 'tell' now works for locations > 2 GB as well instead of going
+ negative.
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize): Accepted a patch by

+
+2008-05-22 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_LogCommandInfo): Restored ability to

+ discovering the bug and providing the fix. [Bug 1968245]
+
+2008-05-21 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclParse.c (ParseComment): The new TclParseAllWhiteSpace
+ * tests/parse.test (parse-15.60): routine has no mechanism to
+ return the "incomplete" status of "\\\n" so calling this routine
+ anywhere that can be reached within a Tcl_ParseCommand() call is a
+ mistake. In particular, ParseComment() must not use it. [Bug 1968882]
+
+2008-05-21 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_SetNamespaceUnknownHandler): Corrected odd
+ logic for handling installation of namespace unknown handlers which
+ could lead too very strange things happening in the error case.
+
+2008-05-16 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompile.c: Fix crash with tcl_traceExec. Found and fixed
+ by Alexander Pasadyn. [Bug 1964803]
+
+2008-05-07 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictAppendCmd): Fix silly off-by
+ one error that caused a crash every time a compiled 'dict append' with
+ more than one argument was used. Found by Colin McCormack.
+
+2008-04-26 Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclAsync.c: Tcl_AsyncDelete(): panic if attempt to locate
+ handler token fails. Happens when some other thread attempts to delete
+ somebody else's token.
+
+ Also, panic early if we find out the wrong thread attempting to delete
+ the async handler (common trap). As, only the one that created the
+ handler is allowed to delete it.
+
+2008-04-24 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * tests/ioCmd.test: Extended testsuite for reflected channel
+ implementation. Added test cases about how it handles if the rug is
+ pulled out from under a channel (= killing threads, interpreters
+ containing the tcl command for a channel, and channel sitting in a
+ different interpreter/thread.)
+
+ * generic/tclIORChan.c: Fixed the bugs exposed by the new testcases,
+ redone most of the cleanup and exit handling.
+
+2008-04-15 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Applied another patch by Alexandre
+ * io.test (io-53.8a): Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sf.net>,
+ * chanio.test (chan-io-53.8a): to shift EOF handling to the async
+ part of the command if a callback is specified, should the channel be
+ at EOF already when fcopy is called. Testcase by myself.
+
+2008-04-14 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixTime.c (NativeGetTime): Removed obsolete use of
+ 'struct timezone' in the call to 'gettimeofday'. [Bug 1942197]
+
+ * tests/clock.test (clock-33.5, clock-33.5a, clock-33.8, clock-33.8a):
+ Added comments to the test that it can fail on a heavily loaded

+
+2008-04-11 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tcl.h: Bump version number to 8.5.3b1 to distinguish

+2008-04-10 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Keeping check for negative
+ values, changed to not be an error, but behave like the special value
+ -1 (copy all, default).
+
+ * tests/iocmd.test (iocmd-15.{12,13}): Removed.
+
+ * tests/io.test (io-52.5{,a,b}): Reverted last change, added
+ * tests/chanio.test (chan-io-52.5{,a,b}): comment regarding the
+ meaning of -1, added two more testcases for other negative values,
+ and input wrapped to negative.
+
+2008-04-09 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * tests/chanio.test (chan-io-52.5): Removed '-size -1' from test,
+ * tests/io.test (io-52.5): does not seem to have any bearing, and was
+ an illegal value.
+
+ * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Added checking of -size value
+ * tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-15.{13,14}): to reject negative values, and
+ values overflowing 32-bit signed. Basic patch by Alexandre Ferrieux
+ <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>, with modifications from me to
+ separate overflow from true negative value. Extended testsuite. [Bug
+ 1557855]
+
+2008-04-08 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * tests/io.test (io-53.8): Fixed ordering of vwait and after
+ cancel. cancel has to be done after the vwait completes.
+
+2008-04-09 Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * tests/chanio.test (chan-io-53.8,53.9,53.10): fix typo & quoting for

+
+2008-04-07 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * tests/io.test (io-53.10): Testcase for bi-directionaly fcopy.
+ * tests/chanio.test:
+ * generic/tclIO.c: Additional changes to data structures for fcopy
+ * generic/tclIO.h: and channels to perform proper cleanup in case
+ of a channel having two background copy operations running as is
+ now possible.
+
+ * tests/io.test (io-53.10): Testcase for bi-directionaly fcopy.
+ * generic/tclIO.c: Additional changes to data structures for fcopy

+
+2008-04-07 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (BUSY_STATE, CheckChannelErrors,
+ TclCopyChannel): New macro, and the places using it. This change
+ allows for bi-directional fcopy on channels. [Bug 1350564]. Thanks
+ to Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> for the
+ patch.
+
+2008-04-07 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
+
+ * generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendFormatToObj): Fix [format {% d}]
+ so that it behaves the same way as in 8.4 and as C's printf().
+ * tests/format.test: Add a test for '% d' and '%+d'.
+
+2008-04-05 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * tests/chanio.test (chan-io-53.9):
+ * tests/io.test (io-53.9): Made test cleanup robust against the
+ possibility of slow process shutdown on Windows.
+
+ * win/tcl.m4: Added -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE and
+ -DCRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE to the MSVC compilation flags so that the
+ compilation doesn't barf on perfectly reasonable Posix system calls.
+ * win/configure: Manually patched (don't have the right autoconf to
+ hand).
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: (WinSymLinkDirectory): Fixed a problem that
+ Tcl was creating an NTFS junction point (IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT)
+ but filling in the union member for a Vista symbolic link. We had
+ gotten away with this error because the union member
+ (SymbolicLinkReparseBuffer) was misdefined in this file and in the
+ 'winnt.h' in early versions of MinGW. MinGW 3.4.2 has the correct
+ definition of SymbolicLinkReparseBuffer, exposing the mismatch,
+ and making tests cmdAH-19.4.1, fCmd-28.*, and filename-11.* fail.
+
+2008-04-04 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * tests/io.test (io-53.9): Added testcase for [Bug 780533], based
+ * tests/chanio.test: on Alexandre's test script. Also fixed problem
+ with timer in preceding test, was not canceled properly in the ok case
+
+2008-04-04 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectOutput): Allow zero return from write
+ when input was zero-length anyway. Otherwise keept it an error, and
+ separate the message from 'written too much'.
+
+ * tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-24.6): Testcase updated for changed message.
+
+ * generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectClose): Added missing removal of the
+ now closed channel from the reflection map. Before we could crash the
+ system by invoking 'chan postevent' on a closed reflected channel,
+ dereferencing the dangling pointer in the map.
+
+ * tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-31.8): Testcase for the above.
+
+2008-04-03 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Applied patch [Bug 1932639] to

+ * tests/chanio.test: the first time. Thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux
+ <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> for report and patch.
+
+2008-04-02 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Applied patch for fcopy problem [Bug
+ 780533], with many thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux
+ <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> for tracking it down and providing a
+ solution. Still have to convert his test script into a proper test
+ case.
+
+2008-04-01 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclStrToD.c: Applied patch for [Bug 1839067] (fp rounding

+
+2008-04-01 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+2008-03-30 Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.h (TclIsNaN):
+ * unix/configure.in: Added code to the configurator to check for a
+ standard isnan() macro and use it if one is
+ found. This change avoids bugs where the test of
+ ((d) != (d)) is optimized away by an
+ overaggressive compiler. [Bug 1783544]
+ * generic/tclObj.c: Added missing #include <math.h> needed to locate
+ isnan() after the above change.
+
+ * unix/configure: autoconf-2.61
+
+ * tests/mathop.test (mathop-25.9, mathop-25.14): Modified tests to
+ deal with (slightly buggy) math libraries in which pow() returns an
+ incorrectly rounded result. [Bug 1808174]
+
+2008-03-26 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+ * generic/tcl.h, generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: Tidied up the declarations

+
+2008-03-19 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>

+
+2008-03-18 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::UnknownHandler): Changed 'source' to
+ 'source -encoding utf-8'. This fixes a portability problem of Tcl
+ Modules pointed out by Don Porter. By using plain 'source' we were at
+ the mercy of 'encoding system', making modules less portable than they
+ could be. The exact scenario: A writes a TM in some weird encoding
+ which is A's system encoding, distributes it, and somewhere else it
+ cannot be read/used because the system encoding is different. Forcing
+ the use of utf-8 makes the module portable.
+
+ ***INCOMPATIBILITY*** for all Tcl Modules already written in non-utf-8

+
+2008-03-18 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * library/tm.tcl (::tcl::tm::Defaults): Modified handling of

+ TCLX.y_TM_PATH exists. Also using a loop to cut prevent code
+ replication. [Bug 1914604]
+
+2008-03-16 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictForCmd): Correct the handling

+ sub-encodings, fixes encoding-11.1 failing after iso2022-jp loaded.
+ [Bug 1893053]
+
+ * macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: Avoid using CoreFoundation after fork() on
+ Darwin 9 even when TclpCreateProcess() uses vfork().
+
+ * macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: Add support for Xcode 3.1 and
+ * macosx/Tcl.xcodeproj/default.pbxuser: configs for building with

+
+2008-03-11 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclVar.c (TclDeleteNamespaceVars):
+ * tests/var.test (var-8.2): Unset traces on vars should be called with
+ a FQ named during namespace deletion. This was causing infinite loops
+ when unset traces recreated the var, as reported by Julian Noble. [Bug
+ 1911919]
+
+2008-03-10 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * changes: Updated for 8.5.2 release.
+
+ * doc/http.n: Revised to indicate that [package require http 2.5.5]
+ is needed to get all the documented commands ([http::meta]).
+
+ * generic/tclEvent.c (TclDefaultBgErrorHandlerObjCmd): Added error
+ * tests/event.test (event-5.*): checking to protect against callers
+ passing invalid return options dictionaries. [Bug 1901113]
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c (ExprAbsFunc): Revised so that the abs()
+ * tests/expr.test: function and the [::tcl::mathfunc::abs]
+ command do not return the value of -0, or equivalent values with more
+ alarming string reps like -1e-350. [Bug 1893815]
+
+2008-03-07 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * generic/tclResult.c (ReleaseKeys): Workaround for [Bug 1904907].
+ Reset the return option keys to NULL to allow full re-initialization
+ by GetKeys(). This introduces a memory leak for the key objects, but
+ gets us around a crash in the finalization of reflected channels when
+ handling returns, either at compile- or runtime. In both cases we
+ access the keys after they have been released by their thread exit
+ handler. A proper fix is entangled with the untangling of the
+ finalization ordering and attendant issues. For now we choose the
+ lesser evil.
+
+2008-03-07 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (Tcl_ExprObj): Revised expression bytecode
+ compiling so that bytecodes invalid due to changing context or due to
+ the difference between expressions and scripts are not reused. [Bug
+ 1899164]
+
+ * generic/tclCmdAH.c: Revised direct evaluation implementation of
+ [expr] so that [expr $e] caches compiled bytecodes for the expression
+ as the intrep of $e.
+
+ * tests/execute.test (execute-6.*): More tests checking that
+ script bytecode is invalidated in the right situations.
+
+2008-03-07 Donal K. Fellows <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

+
+2008-02-29 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_SetReturnOptions): Revised the refcount
+ management of Tcl_SetReturnOptions to become that of a conventional
+ Consumer routine. Thanks to Peter Spjuth for pointing out the
+ difficulties calling Tcl_SetReturnOptions with non-0-count value for
+ options.
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_RETURN_STK): Revised the one caller
+ within Tcl itself which passes a non-0-count value to
+ Tcl_SetReturnOptions().
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo): Revised the
+ refcount management of Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo to become that of a
+ conventional Consumer routine. This preserves the ease of use for the
+ overwhelming common callers who pass in a 0-count value, but makes the
+ proper call with a non-0-count value less surprising.
+ * generic/tclEvent.c (TclDefaultBgErrorHandlerObjCmd): Revised the
+ one caller within Tcl itself which passes a non-0-count value to
+ Tcl_AppendObjToErrorInfo().
+
+2008-02-28 Joe English <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>

+
+ * generic/tclCompExpr.c (ParseExpr): Plug memory leak in error
