- * tests/var.test:
- * generic/tclCompile.c: fixed problem where setting to {} array
- would intermittently not work. (Fontaine) [Bug: 3339]

-
- * tests/info.test:

- * generic/tclCmdAH.c:
- * generic/tclProc.c: changed Tcl_UplevelObjCmd (uplevel) and
- Tcl_EvalObjCmd (eval) to use TCL_EVAL_DIRECT in the single arg
- case as well, to take advantage of potential pure list input
- optimization. This means that it won't get byte compiled though,
- which should be acceptable.
- * generic/tclBasic.c: made Tcl_EvalObjEx pure list object aware in
- the TCL_EVAL_DIRECT case for efficiency.
- * generic/tclUtil.c: made Tcl_ConcatObj pure list object aware,
- and return a list object in that case [Bug: 2098 2257]

- commandPtr object (interactive case) as it could be shared. (Fellows)
-
- * unix/configure.in:
- * unix/tcl.m4:
- * unix/tclUnixPipe.c: removed checking for compatible vfork
- function and use of the vfork function. Modern VM systems rarely
- suffer any performance degradation when fork is used, and it
- solves multiple problems with vfork. Users that still want vfork
- can add -Dfork=vfork to the compile flags. [Bug: 942 2228 1312]

-
- * tests/expr.test:
- * generic/tclCompile.c: fixed 'bad code length' error for
- 'expr + {[incr]}' case, with new test case [Bug: 3736]
- and seg fault on 'expr + {[error]}' (different cause) that
- was caused by a correct optimization that didn't correctly
- track how it was modifying the source string in the opt.
- The optimization was removed, which means that:
- expr 1 + {[string length abc]}
- will be not be compiled inline as before, but this should be
- written:
- expr {1 + [string length abc]}
- which will be compiled inline for speed. This prevents
- expr 1 + {[mindless error]}
- from seg faulting, and only affects optimizations for
- degenerate cases [Bug: 3737]

- problem mentioned in the 10-29 change. Also added error
- handling for failed writes on the socket during the protocol.

-
-1999-10-29 Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>
- * generic/tclInt.h: Modified the TclNewObj and TclDecrRefCount
- in two ways. First, in the case of TCL_THREADS, we do not use
- the special Tcl_Obj allocator because that is a source of
- lock contention. Second, general code cleanup to eliminate
- duplicated code. In particular, TclDecrRefCount now uses
- TclFreeObj instead of duplicating that code, so it is now
- identical to Tcl_DecrRefCount.
-
- * generic/tclObj.c: Changed Tcl_NewObj so it uses the
- TclNewObj macro instead of duplicating the code. Adjusted
- TclFreeObj so it understands the TCL_THREADS case described
- above.
-
- * library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed a bug in the handling of
- the state(status) variable when the -timeout flag is specified.
- Previously it was possible to leave the status undefined
- instead of empty, which caused errors in http::status

- * generic/tclScan.c: added support for use of inline scan,
- XPG3 currently not included

-
- * tests/tcltest.test:
- * doc/tcltest.n:
- * library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Removed the extra return at the
- end of the tcltest.tcl file, added version information about tcl.
-
- Applied patches sent in by Andreas Kupries to add helper procs for
- debug output, add 3 new flags (-testsdir, -load, -loadfile), and
- internally refactors common code for dealing with paths into
- separate procedures. [Bug: 2838, 2842]
-
- Merged code from core-8-2-1 branch that changes the checks for the

- and an empty pattern is used in regexp ( such as {} or "" ).
-
-1999-05-18 <stanton@scriptics.com>
-
- * win/tclWinChan.c: Modified initialization code to avoid
- inherenting closed or invalid channels. If the standard input is

- fall back to the standard Tk window console.
-
-1999-05-14 <stanton@scriptics.com>

-
-1999-05-14 <surles@scriptics.com>
-
- * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Added introspection

-
- * unix/Makefile.in:
- * unix/tclAppInit.c: Minor cleanup related to Xt notifier.
-
- * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): Tcl now looks for
- an encoding subfield in the LANG/LC_ALL variables in cases where
- the locale is not found in the locale table. Ensure that
- setlocale() is called at least once so X11 will initialize
- properly. Also, forces the LC_NUMERIC locale to be "C" so numeric
- processing in scripts is not affected by the current locale
- setting. [Bug: 1989]
-
- * generic/tclRegexp.c: Increased per-thread regexp cache to 30
- slots. This seems to be about the right number for larger
- applications like exmh. [Bug: 1063]
-
-1999-05-12 <stanton@scriptics.com>
-
- * doc/tclsh.1: Updated references to rc script names to accurately

-
- * tests/regexp.test:
- * generic/tclInt.h:
- * generic/tclBasic.c:
- * generic/tclRegexp.h:
- * generic/tclRegexp.c: Replaced the per-interpreter regexp cache
- with a per-thread cache. Changed the Regexp object to take
- advantage of this extra cache. Added a reference count to the
- TclRegexp type so regexps can be shared by multiple objects.
- Removed the per-interp regexp cache from the interpreter. Now
- regexps can be used with no need for an interpreter. [Bug: 1063]
-
- * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpSetVariables): Avoid calling GetUserName
- if the value can be determined from the USERNAME environment
- variable. GetUserName is very slow.

-
- * generic/tclLoadNone.c: Updated to use current interfaces, added
- TclpUnloadFile. [Bug: 2003]
-
- * win/winDumpExts.c:

- * generic/tclUtil.c:
- * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Replaced "string icompare/iequal" with
- -nocase and -length switches to "string compare/equal". Added a
- -nocase option to "string map". Changed index syntax to allow
- integer or end?-integer? instead of a full expression. This is
- much simpler with safeTcl scripts since it avoids double
- substitution issues.
-
- * doc/Utf.3:
- * generic/tclStubInit.c:
- * generic/tclDecls.h:
- * generic/tclUtf.c:
- * generic/tcl.decls: Added Tcl_UtfNcmp and Tcl_UtfNcasecmp.

-
- * doc/string.n:
- * tests/cmdMZ.test:
- * tests/string.test:

- * tests/error.test:
- * tests/lindex.test:

- * tests/lreplace.test:
- * tests/string.test:
- * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd):
- * generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): Applied Jeff Hobbs's
- string patch which includes the following changes [Bug: 1845]:
-
- - string compare now takes optional length arg (for strncmp
- behavior)
-
- - added string equal (just a few lines of code blended
- in with string compare)
-
- - added string icompare/iequal for case-insensitive comparisons
-
- - string index's index can now be ?end[+-]?expression
- I made this change in the private TclGetIntForIndex,
- which means that the list commands also benefit, as
- well as string range, et al.
-
- - added [string repeat string count]
- Repeats given string number of times
-
- - added string replace, string equiv to lreplace
- (quasi opposite of string range):
- string replace first last ?string?
- Example of use, replacing end of string with ...
- should the string be more than 16 chars long:
- string replace $string 16 end "..."
- This just returns the string len < 16, so it
- will only affect the long strings.
-
- - added optional first and last args to string to*
- This allows you to just affect certain regions of
- a string with the command (like just capping the
- first letter). I found the original totitle to
- be too draconian to be useful.
-
- - added [string map charMap string]
- where charMap is a {from to from to} list that equates to
- what one might get from [array get]. Each and
- can be multiple chars (or none at all). For Tcl/CGI users,
- this is a MAJOR speed booster.
-
- * generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseCommand): Changed to avoid
- modifying eval'ed strings that are already null terminated.
- [Bug: 1793]
-
- * tests/binary.test:
- * generic/tclBinary.c (DupByteArrayInternalRep): Fixed bug where
- type was not being set in duplicated object. [Bug: 1975, 2047]
-
-1999-04-30 <stanton@scriptics.com>
-
- * Changed version to 8.1.1.
-
-1999-04-30 <stanton@scriptics.com>
-
- * Merged changes from 8.1.0 branch:
-
- * generic/tclParse.c: Fixed memory leak in CommandComplete.
-
- * generic/tclPlatDecls.h:
- * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
- * generic/tclIntDecls.h:
- * generic/tclDecls.h:
- * tools/genStubs.tcl: Added 'extern "C" {}' block around the stub
- table pointer declaration so the stub library can be used from
- C++. [Bug: 1934]
-
- * Lots of documentation and other release engineering fixes.
-
-1999-04-28 <stanton@scriptics.com>
-
- * mac/tclMacResource.c:
- * generic/tclListObj.c:
- * generic/tclObj.c:
- * generic/tclStringObj.c: Changed to avoid freeing the string
- representation before freeing the internal rep. This helps with
- debugging since the string rep will still be valid when the free
- proc is invoked.
-
-1999-04-27 <stanton@scriptics.com>
-
- * generic/tclLiteral.c (TclHideLiteral): Fixed so hidden literals
- get duplicated to avoid accidental sharing in the global object
- table.
-
-1999-04-23 <stanton@scriptics.com>
-
- * generic/tclStubInit.c:
- * tools/genStubs.tcl: Changed to avoid the need for forward
- declarations in stub initializers.
-
-1999-04-23 <stanton@scriptics.com>
-
- * library/encoding/koi8-r.enc:
- * tools/encoding/koi8-r.txt: Added support for the koi8-r Cyrillic
- encoding. [Bug: 1771]
-
-1999-04-22 <stanton@scriptics.com>
-
- * win/tclWinFCmd.c:
- * win/tclWin32Dll.c: Changed uses of "try" to "__try", since that
- is the actual keyword. This eliminates the need for some -D flags
- from the makefile.
-
- * generic/tclPort.h: Added include of tcl.h since it defines
- various Windows macros that are needed before deciding which
- platform porting file to use.
-
- * generic/tclEvent.c: lint
-
- * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): Added call to TclWinInit
- when building a static library since DllMain will not be invoked.
- This could break old code that explicitly called TclWinInit, but
- should be simpler in the long run.
-
-1999-04-22 Scott Stanton <stanton@scriptics.com>
-
- * generic/tclInt.h:
- * generic/tclInt.decls:
- * generic/tclCompile.c: Added TclSetByteCodeFromAny that takes a
- hook procedure to invoke after compilation but before the byte
- codes are emitted. This makes it possible to do postprocessing on
- the compiled byte codes before the ByteCode is generated.
-
- * generic/tclLiteral.c: Added TclHideLiteral and TclAddLiteralObj
- to make it possible to create local unshared literal objects.
-
- * win/tclWinInit.c:
- * unix/tclUnixInit.c: Changed initial search path to match that
- found used by tcl_findLibrary.
-
-1999-04-22 <redman@scriptics.com>
-
- * win/tclWinPort.h:
- * win/tclWinSock.c: Added code to use WinSock 2.0 API on NT to
- avoid creating a window to handle sockets. API not available on
- Win95 and needs to be fixed on Win98, until then continue to use
- the older (window-based) scheme on those two OSes.
-
-1999-04-15 <stanton@scriptics.com>
-
- * Merged 8.1 back into the main trunk

- * library/encoding/gb2312.enc:
- * library/encoding/euc-cn.enc:
- * tools/encoding/gb2312.txt:
- * tools/encoding/cp950.txt:
- * tools/encoding/Makefile: Restored the double byte definition of
- GB2312 and added the EUC-CN encoding. EUC-CN is a variant of
- GB2312 that shifts the characters into bytes with the high bit set
- and includes ASCII as a subset. [Bug: 632]
-
-1999-04-13 <redman@scriptics.com>
-
- * win/tclWinSock.c: Apply patch to allow write access to a socket
- if FD_WRITE is sent but FD_CONNECT is not. Some strange problem
- with either Win32 or a socket driver. [Bug: 1664 1776]
-
-1999-04-09 <redman@scriptics.com>
-
- * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: Fixed notifier deadlock situation when the
- pipe used to talk back notifier thread is filled with data. When
- calling the write() function to feed data down that pipe, unlock
- the notifierMutex to allow the notifier to wake up again. Found
- as a result of the focus.test for Tk hanging. [Bug: 1700]
-
-1999-04-06 <stanton@scriptics.com>
-
- * tests/unixNotfy.test: Fixed hang in tests when built with thread
- support.
-
- * tests/httpold.test: Fixed broken test that didn't wait long
- enough for events to arrive.
-
- * tests/unixInit.test: Fixed race condition in test.
-
- * tests/unixInit.test:
- * tests/fileName.test: Minor test nits.
-
- * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): Fixed bad initial
- encoding string.
-
-1999-04-06 <surles@scriptics.com>
-
- * generic/tclVar.c:
- * generic/tclEnv.c: Moved the "array set" C level code into a
- common routine (TclArraySet). The TclSetupEnv routine now uses
- this API to create an env array w/ no elements.
-
- * generic/tclEnv.c:
- * generic/tclWinInit.h:
- * generic/tclUnixInit.h:
- * generic/tclInt.h: Made the Env module I18N compliant. Changed the
- FindVariable routine to TclpFindVariable, that now does a case
- insensitive string comparison on Windows, and not on UNIX. [Bug:
- 1299, 1500]
-
-1999-04-05 <stanton@scriptics.com>
-
- * tests/io.test: Minor test cleanup.
-
- * generic/tclEncoding.c (Tcl_CreateEncoding): Minor lint to make
- it easier to compile on Digital-unix. [Bug: 1659]
-
- * unix/configure.in:
- * unix/tclUnixPort.h: Applied patch for OS/390 to handle lack of
- sys/param.h. [Bug: 1725]
-

- shared libraries properly. [Bug: 1730]
-
-1999-04-05 <redman@scriptics.com>

- * generic/tclInt.decls:
- * generic/tclInt.h:
- * generic/tclIntDecls.h:
- * generic/tclStubInit.c:
- * generic/tclUtil.c: Added more functions to the Tcl stubs table,
- including all Tcl_ functions not already in it (except Cmd
- functions) and Tcl_GetCwd() and Tcl_Chdir() (new functions).
-
- * tests/safe.test:
- * doc/safe.n:
- * generic/tclBasic.c:
- * library/safe.tcl: The encoding command is not safe as-is, so

- * tests/winConsole.test:
- * win/tclWinConsole.c: Fixed problem with fileevents and gets from
- a console stdin. Previously, fileevents were firing before an
- entire line was available for reading, which meant that when you
- did a gets or read, it blocked (even in nonblocking mode). Now, it
- should work the same as Unix: fileevents fire when an entire line
- is ready, and gets and read do not block in non-blocking mode.
- Added an interactive test case to check for this.

-
- * test/winPipe.test: Changed to remove echoArgs.tcl temporary file
- when done.
-
- * tests/cmdAH.test:
- * generic/tclFileName.c (TclGetExtension): Changed behavior so the
- split happens at the last period in the name instead of the first
- period of the last run of periods. So, "foo..o" is split into
- "foo." and ".o" now. [Bug: 1126]
-
- * win/makefile.vc: Added better support for paths with spaces in
- the name. Added .lib and support .dlls to the install-binaries
- target. Added generate of a pkgIndex.tcl script to the
- install-libraries target.
-
- * win/tclAppInit.c:
- * unix/tclAppInit.c:
- * mac/tclMacAppInit.c:
- * generic/tclTest.c: Changed some EXTERN declarations to extern
- since they are not defining exported interfaces. This avoids
- generating useless declspec() attributes and makes the windows
- makefile simpler.
-
- * generic/tcl.h: Moved Tcl_AppInit declaration to end and cleared
- out TCL_STORAGE_CLASS so it is not declared with a declspec().
-
- * tests/interp.test:
- * generic/tclInterp.c (DeleteAlias): Changed to use
- Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken so we handle renames properly. This
- avoids senseless panic. [Bug: 736]
-
- * unix/tclUnixChan.c:
- * win/tclWinSock.c:
- * doc/socket.n: Applied Gordon Chaffee's patch to handle failures
- during asynchronous socket connection operations. This adds a new
- "-error" fconfgure option to socket channels. [Bug: 893]

- * generic/tclNamesp.c:
- * generic/tclInt.h:

- namespace had been deleted.
-
- * generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileExprCmd): Eliminated yet another
- bogus optimization in expression compilation.
-
- * unix/configure.in: Added branch for BSD/OS-4* to shared library
- case statement. [Bug: 975]
- Fixed to correctly handle IRIX 6.5 n32 library support. [Bug: 1117]
-
- * win/winDumpExts.c: Patched to be pickier about stripping
- @'s. [Bug: 920]
-
- * library/http2.0/http.tcl: Added catch around eof test in
- CopyDone since the user may have already called http::reset.
- [Bug: 1108]
-
- * unix/configure.in: Changed Linux and IRIX to set SHLIB_LIBS to
- LIBS so shared libraries are linked with the system
- libraries. [Bug: 1018]
-
- * generic/tclCompile.c (CompileExprWord): Fixed exception stack
- overflow bug caused by missing statement. [Bug: 928]
-
- * generic/tclIOCmd.c:
- * generic/tclBasic.c: Objectified the "open" command. [Bug: 1113]
-
- * generic/tclPosixStr.c (Tcl_ErrnoId, Tcl_ErrnoMsg): When using
- egcs, ENOTSUP and EOPNOTSUPP are the same, so now we handle that
- case. [Bug: 1137]
-
- * library/init.tcl: Various small changes requested by Jan Nijtmans.
- - If the variable $tcl_library contains the empty string, this
- empty string will be put in $auto_path. This is not useful at all,
- it only slows down later package processing.
- - If the variable tcl_pkgPath is not set, the "unset __dir"
- fails. Thich makes init.tcl totally unusable. Better put a "catch"
- around it.
- - In the function tcl_findLibraries, the "string match" function
- only works correctly if $tcl_patchLevel is in one of the forms
- "?.?a?", "?.?b?" or "?.?.?". Could a "regexp" be used instead,
- then it allows anything to be appended to the patchLevel
- string. And it is more efficient.
- - The tclPkgSetup function assumes that if $type != "load" then
- the type must be "source". This needn't be true. Some users want
- to add their own setup types.
- [RFE: 1138] [Bug: 978]

- interfaces so they match Tcl 8.0.
-
-1999-01-28 <stanton@GASPODE>
-
- * Merged Tcl 8.0.5b1 changes.
-
- * generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_DStringSetLength): Changed so the buffer
- overallocates in a manner similar to Tcl_DStringAppend. This
- should improve performance for TclUniCharToUtfDString.
-
-1998-12-11 === Tcl 8.1b1 Release ===
-
-1998-12-10 <stanton@GASPODE>
-
- * Fixed lots of files that used TCL_THREAD instead of TCL_THREADS.
-
- * generic/tclEncoding.c (Tcl_FreeEncoding): Moved most of the code
- into a static FreeEncoding routine that does not grab the
- encodingMutex to avoid deadlocks/races when called from other
- routines that already have the mutex.
-
-1998-12-09 <stanton@GASPODE>
-
- * library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: Fixed bad export list, fixed so

-
- * win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Fixed bug that kept
- arguments containing spaces from being properly quoted.
-
- * tests/defs: Changed so auto_path is set to only contain the Tcl
- library directory. This keeps the tests from accidentally picking
- up stuff in installed packages.
-
- * generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_StringMatch): Changed to match 8.0
- behavior in corner case where there is no closing bracket.
-
-1998-12-02 <stanton@GASPODE>
-
- * win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateCommandChannel): Changed
- reader/writer threads to have THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST so they will
- have a chance to run whenever there is something to do.
-
- * generic/tclIO.c (WriteBytes, WriteChars): Fixed so extraneous
- flushes do not happen in line mode.
- (TranslateOutputEOL): Made translation more efficient in line mode
- and fixed a buffer overflow bug in CRLF translation. [Bug: 887]

-
- * generic/regc_color.c (subcolor): Added check for error case to
- avoid an out of bounds array reference.
-
- * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_EncodingObjCmd): Changed to avoid using
- Tcl_DStringResult because it is not binary clean.
-
- * generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseCommand): Fixed bug in comment
- parsing where a trailing comment looked like an incomplete
- command.
-
-1998-12-02 <welch@SAGE>

-
-1998-12-01 <stanton@GASPODE>

- change.
-
- * tests/parse.test: Updated tests for EvalObjv change.

- * doc/Eval.3: Updated documentation for Tcl_EvalObjv to remove
- string and length arguments.
-
- * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileForeachCmd): Fixed code that

- foreach failed to compile inline. [Bug: 884]
-
- * library/encoding/euc-kr.enc:
- * library/encoding/ksc5601.enc:
- * tools/encoding/ksc5601.txt:

-
- * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): Fixed hang that occurs
- when trying to close a pipe that is currently being waited on by
- the notifier thread. [Bug: 607]
-
- * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (GetPermissionsAttribute): Increase size of
- returnString buffer to avoid overflow. [Bug: 584]
-
- * generic/tclThreadTest.c (TclThreadSend): Fixed memory leak due
- to use of TCL_VOLATILE instead of TCL_DYNAMIC.
-
- * generic/tclThread.c (TclRememberSyncObject): Fixed memory leak
- caused by failure to reuse condition variables.
-
- * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: (Tcl_AlertNotifier, Tcl_WaitForEvent,

- between threads.. [Bug: 607]
-
- * generic/tclTestObj.c (TeststringobjCmd): MAX_STRINGS was off by one
- so the strings array was too small.
-
- * generic/tclCkalloc.c (Tcl_DbCkfree): Moved mutex lock so
- ValidateMemory is done inside the mutex to avoid a race condition
- when validate_memory is enabled. [Bug: 880]
-
-1998-11-23 <stanton@GASPODE>
-
- * regexec.c: more performance tuning from Henry Spencer.
-
-1998-11-17 <stanton@GASPODE>
-
- * tclScan.c: moved "scan" implementation out of tclCmdMZ.c and
- added Unicode support. This required a complete reimplementation
- of the command to avoid using scanf(), which isn't Unicode aware.
- Two new features were added in the process: %n to return the
- current number of characters consumed, and XPG3-style %n$ argument
- order specifiers similar to those provided by the "format"
- command. [Bug: 833]
-
- * tclAlloc.c: changed so allocated memory is always 8-byte aligned
- to improve memory performance and to ensure that it will work on
- systems that don't like accessing 4-byte aligned values
- (e.g. Solaris and HP-UX). [Bug: 834]
-
-1998-11-06 <stanton@GASPODE>
-
- * tclVar.c (TclGetIndexedScalar): Fixed bug 796, var name was

- changed "wordend" and "wordstart" to properly handle Unicode word
- characters and connector punctuation
-

-
- * auto.tcl, package.tcl: fixed SCCS strings
-
- * tclIndex: updated index to reflect 8.1 files
-
- * tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): changed to avoid modifying the
- input string in place because name lookup operations could have
- arbitrary side effects
-
- * tclInterp.c: added guard against deleting current interpreter
-
- * tclMacFile.c, tclUnixFile.c, tclWinFile.c, tclFileName.c: added
- warnings around code that modifies strings in place

-
- * tclEvent.c: changed so USE_TCLALLOC is tested for value instead
- of definition
