+A NOTE ON THE CHANGELOG:
+Starting in early 2011, Tcl source code has been under the management of
+fossil, hosted at http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/ . Fossil presents a "Timeline"
+view of changes made that is superior in every way to a hand edited log file.
+Because of this, many Tcl developers are now out of the habit of maintaining
+this log file. You may still find useful things in it, but the Timeline is
+a better first place to look now.

+ ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+ Existing code that was using the old versions and working around the
+ limitations will now need to do far less. The -maxlen option now has
+ strict limits on the range of supported lengths; this is a limitation
+ of the format itself.

+
+2013-07-02 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

+ issue.
+
+2013-06-17 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/regc_locale.c: Bug [a876646efe]: re_expr character class
+ [:cntrl:] should contain \u0000 - \u001f
+
+2013-06-09 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c (TclCompileTryCmd): [Bug 779d38b996]:
+ Rewrote the [try] compiler to generate better code in some cases and
+ to behave correctly in others; when an error happens during the
+ processing of an exception-trap clause or a finally clause, the
+ *original* return options are now captured in a -during option, even
+ when fully compiled.
+
+2013-06-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c (INST_EXPAND_DROP): [Bugs 2835313, 3614226]:
+ New opcode to allow resetting the stack to get rid of an expansion,
+ restoring the stack to a known state in the process.
+ * generic/tclCompile.c, generic/tclCompCmds.c: Adjusted the compilers
+ for [break] and [continue] to get stack cleanup right in the majority
+ of cases.

+
+2013-06-04 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4: Eliminate NO_VIZ macro as current zlib uses HAVE_HIDDEN

+
+2013-06-03 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclExecute.c: fix for perf bug detected by Kieran
+ (https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/comp.lang.tcl/vfpI3bc-DkQ),
+ diagnosed by dgp to be a close relative of [Bug 781585], which was
+ fixed by commit [f46fb50cb3]. This bug was introduced by myself in
+ commit [cbfe055d8c].
+
+2013-06-03 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileBreakCmd, TclCompileContinueCmd):
+ Added code to allow [break] and [continue] to be issued as a jump (in
+ the most common cases) rather than using the more expensive exception
+ processing path in the bytecode engine. [Bug 3614226]: Partial fix for
+ the issues relating to cleaning up the stack when dealing with [break]
+ and [continue].
+
+2013-05-27 Harald Oehlmann <oehhar@users.sf.net>
+
+ * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: [Bug 3036566]: Also get locale from
+ registry key HCU\Control Panel\Desktop : PreferredUILanguages to honor

+ Bumped msgcat version to 1.5.2
+
+2013-05-22 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * tclCompile.c: Removed duplicate const qualifier causing the HP
+ native cc to error out.
+
+2013-05-22 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclUtf.c (TclUtfCasecmp): [Bug 3613609]: Replace problematic
+ uses of strcasecmp with a proper UTF-8-aware version. Affects both
+ [lsearch -nocase] and [lsort -nocase].
+
+2013-05-22 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * doc/file.n: [Bug 3613671]: Added note to portability section on the
+ fact that [file owned] does not produce useful results on Windows.
+
+2013-05-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DefaultTempDir): [Bug 3613567]: Corrected logic
+ for checking return code of access() system call, which was inverted.
+
+2013-05-19 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * unix/tcl.m4: Fix for FreeBSD, and remove support for older
+ * unix/configure: FreeBSD versions. Patch by Pietro Cerutti.
+
+2013-05-18 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmdsGR.c: Split tclCompCmds.c again to keep size of
+ code down.
+
+2013-05-16 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: Add panic in order to detect incompatible
+ mingw32 sys/stat.h and sys/time.h headers.
+
+2013-05-13 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * compat/zlib/*: Upgrade to zlib 1.2.8
+
+2013-05-10 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ Optimizations and general bytecode generation improvements.
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileAppendCmd, TclCompileLappendCmd):
+ (TclCompileReturnCmd): Make these generate bytecode in more cases.
+ (TclCompileListCmd): Make this able to push a literal when it can.
+ * generic/tclCompile.c (TclSetByteCodeFromAny, PeepholeOptimize):
+ Added checks to see if we can apply some simple cross-command-boundary
+ optimizations, and defined a small number of such optimizations.
+ (TclCompileScript): Added the special ability to compile the list
+ command with expansion ([list {*}blah]) into bytecode that does not
+ call an external command.
+
+2013-05-06 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclStubInit.c: Add support for Cygwin64, which has a 64-bit
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: "long" type. Binary compatibility with win64
+ requires that all stub entries use 32-bit long's, therefore the need
+ for various wrapper functions/macros. For Tcl 9 a better solution is
+ needed, but that cannot be done without introducing binary
+ incompatibility.
+
+2013-04-30 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * library/platform/platform.tcl (::platform::LibcVersion):
+ * library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: Followup to the 2013-01-30 change.
+ The RE become too restrictive again. SuSe added a timestamp after the
+ version. Loosened up a bit. Bumped package to version 1.0.12.
+
+2013-04-29 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileArraySetCmd): Generate better code
+ when the list of things to set is a literal.
+
+2013-04-25 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: Implement Tcl_NewBooleanObj, Tcl_DbNewBooleanObj
+ and Tcl_SetBooleanObj as macros using Tcl_NewIntObj, Tcl_DbNewLongObj
+ and Tcl_SetIntObj. Starting with Tcl 8.5, this is exactly the same, it
+ only eliminates code duplication.
+ * generic/tclInt.h: Eliminate use of NO_WIDE_TYPE everywhere: It's
+ exactly the same as TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG
+
+2013-04-19 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: Implement many Tcl_*Var* functions and
+ Tcl_GetIndexFromObj as (faster/stack-saving) macros around resp their
+ Tcl_*Var*2 equivalent and Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct.
+
+2013-04-12 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: Implement Tcl_Pkg* functions as
+ (faster/stack-saving) macros around Tcl_Pkg*Ex functions.
+
+2013-04-08 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * generic/regc_color.c: [Bug 3610026]: Stop crash when the number of
+ * generic/regerrs.h: "colors" in a regular expression overflows a
+ * generic/regex.h: short int. Thanks to Heikki Linnakangas for
+ * generic/regguts.h: the report and the patch.
+ * tests/regexp.test:
+
+2013-04-04 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
+
+ * library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): Allow URLs that don't have a
+ path, but a query query, e.g. http://example.com?foo=bar
+ * Bump the http package to 2.8.7.

+
+2013-02-14 Harald Oehlmann <oehhar@users.sf.net>
+
+ * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: [Bug 3604576]: Catch missing registry
+ entry "HCU\Control Panel\International".
+ Bumped msgcat version to 1.5.1
+
+2013-02-11 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclZlib.c (ZlibTransformOutput): [Bug 3603553]: Ensure that
+ data gets written to the underlying stream by compressing transforms
+ when the amount of data to be written is one buffer's-worth; problem

+
+2013-02-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * win/tclWinFile.c: [Bug 3603434]: Make sure TclpObjNormalizePath()

+
+2013-02-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclLoadNone.c (TclpLoadMemory): [Bug 3433012]: Added dummy

+
+2013-02-04 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+

+
+2013-01-30 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
+
+ * library/platform/platform.tcl (::platform::LibcVersion): See
+ * library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: [Bug 3599098]: Fixed the RE
+ * unix/Makefile.in: extracting the version to avoid issues with
+ * win/Makefile.in: recent changes to the glibc banner. Now targeting a
+ less variable part of the string. Bumped package to version 1.0.11.
+
+2013-01-28 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileArraySetCmd)

+
+2013-01-23 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): [Bug 2911139]: Do not do vwait
+ for connect to avoid reentrancy problems (except when operating
+ without a -command option). Internally, this means that all sockets
+ created by the http package will always be operated in asynchronous
+ mode.
+
+2013-01-21 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.decls: Put back Tcl[GS]etStartupScript(Path|FileName)
+ in private stub table, so extensions using this (like Tk 8.4) will
+ continue to work in all Tcl 8.x versions. Extensions using this
+ still cannot be compiled against Tcl 8.6 headers.
+
+2013-01-18 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclPort.h: [Bug 3598300]: unix: tcl.h does not include
+ sys/stat.h
+
+2013-01-17 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclCompCmds.c (PushVarName): [Bug 3600328]: Added mechanism
+ for suppressing compilation of variables when we couldn't cope with
+ the results. Useful for some [array] subcommands.
+ * generic/tclEnsemble.c (CompileToCompiledCommand): Must restore the
+ compilation environment when a command compiler fails.
+
+2013-01-16 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclZlib.c (TclZlibInit): [Bug 3601086]: Register the config
+ info in the iso8859-1 encoding as that is guaranteed to be present.
+
+2013-01-16 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * Makefile.in: Allow win32 build with -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED, just as
+ * generic/tcl.h: in the UNIX build. Define Tcl_EvalObj and
+ * generic/tclDecls.h: Tcl_GlobalEvalObj as macros, even when
+ * generic/tclBasic.c: TCL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, so Tk can benefit
+ from it too.
+
+2013-01-14 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * win/tcl.m4: More flexible search for win32 tclConfig.sh, backported
+ from TEA (not actually used in Tcl, only for Tk)
+
+2013-01-14 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
+
+ * generic/tclInt.decls: Put back Tcl_[GS]etStartupScript in internal
+ stub table, so extensions using this, compiled against 8.5 headers
+ still run in Tcl 8.6.
+
+2013-01-13 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+ * doc/fileevent.n: [Bug 3436609]: Clarify readable fileevent "false

+ handling or [info level]/[info frame]. This improves the code produced

+ ensemble is now not normally seen at the bytecode level at all.
