I currently know of no reproducable bugs. I often -get vague reports - but nothing I've been able to confirm. Let -me know what bugs you find! - -The Macintosh version of Tcl passes most all tests in the Tcl -test suite. Slower Macs may fail some tests in event.test whose -timing constraints are too tight. If other tests fail please report -them. - -Ray - -Known bugs in the current release. - -* With the socket code you can't use the "localhost" host name. This - is actually a known bug in Apple's MacTcp stack. However, you can - use [info hostname] whereever you would have used "localhost" to - achive the same effect. - -* Most socket bugs have been fixed. We do have a couple of test cases - that will hang the Mac, however, and we are still working on them. - If you find additional test cases that show crashes please let us - know! - -* In Tcl 8.2, the new Regexp code seems to be more deeply recursive than -the older version in Tcl8.0. As a result, I have had to increase the Stack -size of Tcl to 1Meg. If you are not doing regexps with many subexpressions, -this is probably more stack than you will need. You can relink with the -stack set to 512K, and you will be fine for most purposes. -* This regexp problem is fixed in Tcl8.3. If you are going to do complex -regexp's, it is probably a good idea to keep the stack size big. But normal -regexps will not cause crashes. - -* The "clock scan -base" command does not work. The epoch is wrong. -* The file mtime command does not work when setting the time, it is off -by 4 years. |
