2001-03-30  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tcl.m4: added imm32.lib to LIBS_GUI for Tk IME support.

	* win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): removed extra \s that broke
	the target.
	(install-doc): improved install-* targets to use their base build
	dependency.

2001-03-30  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

	* All of the changes below belong to TIP #10 [Tcl I/O Enhancement:
	  Thread-Aware Channels]. See also [Patch #403358] at SF.

	* generic/tclIO.h (struct ChannelState, line 236f): Extended the
 	  structure with a new field of type 'Tcl_ThreadId' to hold the id
 	  of the thread currently managing all channels with this state.

	  Note: This structure is shared by all channels in a stack of
 	  transformations.

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CreateChannel, lines 1058-1065): Modified
 	  to store the Id of the current thread in the 'ChannelState' of
 	  the new channel.

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SpliceChannel, lines 2265-2270): Modified
 	  in the same manner as 'Tcl_CreateChannel' as the channel will be
 	  managed by the current thread afterward.

	* generic/tclIO.c   (Tcl_GetChannelThread, lines 1478-1503):
	* generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_GetChannelThread, lines 1504-1506): New
 	  API function to retrieve the Id of the managing thread from a
 	  channel. Implementation and declaration.

	* generic/tclTest.c (TestChannelCmd, lines 4520-4532): Added
 	  subcommand 'mthread' to query a channel about its managing
 	  thread.

2001-03-29  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

	* tests/interp.test: Print out warning when
	testinterpdelete command is not defined.
	Add tests that checks to make sure a
	child interp inherits the parent's cwd.

2001-03-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@gimlet.activestate.com>

	* doc/tcltest.n: corrected incorrect macro usage.

	* doc/lsort.n: corrected unbalanced nroff macros.

	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): prevent potential race
	condition and security leak in tmp filename creation.
 	(max) [Patch #402924]

	* unix/configure:
	* unix/tcl.m4: corrected IRIX-5.x config to not use -n32.
 	(english) [Patch #403626]

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_ConditionWait): fixed handling of
	timeout for threads (corrects excessive CPU usage issue for Tk on
	Unix in threaded Tcl environment). (ruppert) [Bug #411603]

2001-03-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/lsort.n: Added some notes that clarify the behaviour of
	[lsort] as well as a whole bunch of examples.  [Bug #219202]

2001-03-27  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@gimlet.activestate.com>

	* doc/Alloc.3: corrected docs to note that Tcl_Attempt* return
	char *'s, not ints. [Bug #411388]

	* tests/regexp.test (regexp-19.1):
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): fixed handling of nulls
	in subspec value.

2001-03-26  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
	* generic/tclDecls.h (Tcl_InitCustomHashTable):  Correction to
	patch from 2001-01-18;  tclDecls.h was not generated using
	'make genstubs'.

2001-03-26  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* win/tclWinInt.h (tclWinTCharEncoding): Removed as now a static
	variable in win/tclWin32Dll.c instead.

2001-03-23  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): Corrected retrieval of
	resultPtr to prevent possible corruption.

	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_Import): Correctly freed a DString.
 	(lavana) [Patch #403755]

2001-03-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tests/set-old.test (set-old-7.2): Changed error behaviour of
	[unset] to agree with documentation, so must change test as well.

2001-03-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
	* library/package.tcl (pkg_mkIndex):  Added patch from Vince
	Darley to make [pkg_mkIndex -verbose] even more verbose.
	[Bug 219349, Patch 403529]

2001-03-13  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/info.n: Improved documentation for [info hostname].
	[Bug #403840]

	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UnsetObjCmd): Made command behave as
	documented [issue remaining from bug #405769]

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): A missing
	{return TCL_OK;} was causing memory corruption.  [Bug #408002]

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclDeleteExecEnv, GrowEvaluationStack,
	TclExecuteByteCode): Added some casts to ClientData that are
	apparently needed on some architectures.

2001-03-12  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tests/string.test: Fixed some test numberings and added a test.
	[Patch #403229]

2001-03-06  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UnsetObjCmd): Rewrote argument parser to
	avoid a read off the end of the argument array that could occur
	when executing something like [unset -nocomplain] was executed.
	Improved the error message given when too few arguments are given
	(-nocomplain should obviously be *before* --, not after it) and
	also modified the test suite to take account of that and the
	documentation to use the same improvement. [Bug 405769]

2001-03-02  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Fixed bug that could
	pass pointers to freed memory to command implementations, which
	most obviously caused some weird behaviour with [info level], but
	could have caused problems with user code and command traces too.
	[Bug 404865, Patch 405436]

2001-02-23  msofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>
	* no changes; fixing up the missing comment in the previous one.
	Sorry.

2001-02-23  msofer  <msofer@ant.utdt>

	* /cvsroot/tcl/tcl/tests/execute.test:
	added test for evaluation of an expression in a variable; evals once
	by compiling, second time using the previous compilation

2001-02-18  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* doc/clock.n: Updated documentation to reflect the addition of
	compat/strftime.c, including the correct formatting of
	ISO-8601:1988 fiscal week number (%V).
	
2001-02-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SplitObjCmd): Improved efficiency of
	splitting strings into individual characters by adding hash so
	that only one Tcl_Obj per character is created.  Improves
	performance of splitting of short strings and makes a huge
	difference to splitting of long strings, such as is done in the
	mime package in tcllib.  [Bug #131523]

2001-01-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
	* win/makefile.vc (install-libraries):  Corrected misdirected
	install directory for the msgcat 1.2 package.

2001-01-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
	* generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): Moved code that updates the count
	of how many bytes are left to copy.  Corrects bug that when
	writing occurs in the background, the copy loop could be
	escaped without updating the count, causing CopyData() to try
	to copy more bytes than the toRead value originally passed to
	TclCopyChannel(), leading to hangs and misreporting of number
	of bytes copied. [Bug 118203, Patch 103432]

2001-01-18  Andreas Kupries  <a.kupries@westend.com>

	* Everything below belongs together, it fixes bug #123153.

	* generic/tcl.h (line 342): A bit more explanation about the
	  default value for TCL_PRESERVE_BINARY_COMPATABILITY.

	* generic/tcl.h (line 1208): Define the macro 'Tcl_InitHashTable'
	  only when TCL_PRESERVE_BINARY_COMPATIBILITY is not set
	  as it kills binary compatibility to 8.3 and earlier
	  versions. This is the main part of the patch/change.

	* generic/tcl.decls (line 1469):
	* generic/tclHash.c (Tcl_InitHashTable):
	* generic/tclHash.c (Tcl_InitHashTableEx):
	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_InitObjHashTable): Changed
	  'Tcl_InitHashTableEx' to 'Tcl_InitCustomHashTable'. This change
	  is more of an estethical nature, replacing the ubiquitous 'Ex'
	  suffix with a more meaningful name. The introduced binary
	  incompatibility is deemed acceptable as it is between alpha
	  versions.  Updated callers.

	* doc/Hash.3:
	* unix/mkLinks: Changed 'Tcl_InitHashTableEx' to
	  'Tcl_InitCustomHashTable'.

2001-01-10  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-1.20): 
	* tests/winDde.test (createChildProcess): 
	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test (pkgtest::createIndex):  Removed
	assumption that paths contain no spaces which causes problems with
	both [eval] and [open |...] due to the well-known differences
	between lists and strings.  Fixes bug #119406

2001-01-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
	* tests/unixInit.test:
	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):
	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):  Several entries in
	the library path ($tcl_libPath) are determined relative to the
	absolute path of the executable.  When the executable is
	installed in or near the root directory of the file system,
	relative pathnames were being incorrectly generated, and in
	the worst case, memory access violations were crashing the program.
	[Bug 119416, Patch 102972]

2000-12-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c:
	* tests/expr-old.test:  Re-wrote Tcl's [expr rand()] and
	[expr srand($seed)] implementations, fixing a range error
	on some 64-bit platforms.  Added tests that detect the bug.
	The rewrite changes the seed -> sequence map on 64-bit
	platforms, only for seed >= 2^31, a slight incompatibility.
	[Bug 121072, Patch 102781]

2000-12-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/init.tcl:
	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:
	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:
	* library/opt/optparse.tcl:
	* library/opt/pkgIndex.tcl: Where [uplevel] is used in a proc
	to evaluate a Tcl built-in command in the caller's context,
	the built-in commands are now fully namespace-qualified.  This
	prevents problems when the caller context is in a namespace where
	the built-in command name has been used by a command in the
	namespace.  (For example, [::ns::set] might be called instead
	of the intended [::set]).  [Bug #119422, Patch #102545]

2000-12-09  jeff hobbs  <jhobbs@interwoven.com>

	* win/tclWinTime.c (CalibrationThread): added lint return value to
	prevent compiler warning.  [Bug #125005]

	* docs/scan.n:
	* tests/scan.test:
	* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): changed %o and %x to use
	strtoul instead of strtol to correctly preserve scan<>format
	conversion of large integers.  [Patch #102663, Bug #124600]

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Commited patch fixing
	handling of {!<boolean>} in expressions. [Patch #102702]

2000-12-08  jeff hobbs  <jhobbs@interwoven.com>

	* library/init.tcl: Added support for PATHEXT variable in
	auto_execok, recognizing the proper set of executable extensions
	on Windows.  [Patch #102719]

2000-12-08  Andreas Kupries  <a.kupries@westend.com>

	* generic/tclEncoding.c (LoadTableEncoding): Changed dangerous
	  code to something less critical. This fixes bug 119417, part A
	  without affecting the speed when loading encodings.

2000-12-08  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/open.n: Added xref to fconfigure and advice on the opening
	  of binary files.  Should help prevent a recurrence of bugs like
	  #124558

2000-12-07  jeff hobbs  <jhobbs@interwoven.com>

	* generic/tcl.h: added note about need to updated
	library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl with minor version increment.

	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl: updated to use 84 version to reflect
	the makefile.  Should probably be updated to use its real version
	at some point. [Patch #102560, Bug #119421]

2000-12-06  eric melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* generic/tcl.h (attemptckalloc): Fixed typo for #define of
	attemptckalloc (was defined to Tcl_AttempDbCkalloc, should have
	been Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc). [Bug: 124384]

	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: Added
	TCL_MEM_DEBUG versions of Tcl_AttemptDbCkrealloc and
	Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc. [Bug: 124384].

2000-11-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Logical negation "!"
	  can now handle string booleans, provided those values are placed
	  in variables.

	* tests/expr.test (expr-13.17): Check that [expr {!$var}] can
	  negate the string-versions of booleans "yes", "false", etc.

	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl (getMatchingFiles,
	  getMatchingDirectories):
	* tools/man2html.tcl (doDir): 
	* tools/man2help.tcl (doDir): 
	* library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown,tclMacPkgSearch): 
	* library/safe.tcl (AddSubDirs): [glob] uses -directory instead of
	  unsafe [file join] to fix Bug #123313

	* generic/tclIndexObj.c:
	* generic/tclTestObj.c (TestindexobjCmd): Changed internal
	  representation of index objects to fix Bug #119082; fix
	  shouldn't be visible to outside world...

	* generic/tclTest.c (TestGetIndexFromObjStructObjCmd): 
	* tests/indexObj.test: (indexObj-6.*) Added to test for presence
	  of Bug #119082.

2000-11-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Fixed memory leak from Bug
	  #119398

	* library/init.tcl (unknown): Added specific level parameters to
	  all uplevel invokations to boost performance; didn't dare touch
	  the "namespace inscope" stuff though, since it looks sensitive
	  to me!  Should fix Bug #123217, though testing is tricky...

2000-11-21  Andreas Kupries  <a.kupries@westend.com>

	* All of the changes below are described in TIP #7 ~ Specification
 	  and result from the application of the patch contained
 	  therein. Creator of the patch is Kevin Kenny
 	  <kennykb@crd.ge.com>. The patch used here is actually a bit
 	  different. Two MS specific constant values (format FOOui64) were
 	  replaced with a more portable formatting of the values and an
 	  additional cast to LONGLONG. My cross-compiling gcc was unable to
	  process the original form. The SF Id of the patch is 102459.

       	* tclWinTime.c: Add to the static data a set of variables that
 	  manage the phase-locked techniques, including a
 	  ''CRITICAL_SECTION'' to guard them so that multi-threaded code
 	  is stable.

	* tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetSeconds'' to call ''TclpGetTime''
 	  and return the 'seconds' portion of the result.  This change is
 	  necessary to make sure that the two times are consistent near
 	  the rollover from one second to another.

	* tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetClicks'' to use TclpGetTime to
 	  determine the click count as a number of microseconds.

	* tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetTime'' to return the time as
 	  M*Q+B, where Q is the result of ''QueryPerformanceCounter'', and
 	  M and B are variables maintained by the phase-locked loop to
 	  keep the result as close as possible to the system clock.  The
 	  ''TclpGetTime'' call will also launch the phase-lock management
 	  in a separate thread the first time that it is invoked.  If the
 	  performance counter is unavailable, or if its frequency is not
 	  one of the two common 8254-compatible rates, then
 	  ''TclpGetTime'' will return the result of ''ftime'' as it does
 	  in Tcl 8.3.2.

	* tclWinTime.c: Add the clock calibration procedure.  The
 	  calibration is somewhat complex; to save space, the reader is
 	  referred to the reference implementation for the details of how
 	  the time base and frequency are maintained.

	* tclWinNotify.c: Modify ''Tcl_Sleep'' to test that the process
 	  has, in fact, slept for the requisite time by calling
 	  ''TclpGetTime'' and comparing with the desired time.  Otherwise,
 	  roundoff errors may cause the process to awaken early.

	* tclWinTest.c: Add a ''testwinclock'' command.  This command
 	  returns a four element list comprising the seconds and
 	  microseconds portions of the system clock and the seconds and
 	  microseconds portions of the Tcl clock.

	* winTime.test: Add to the test suite a test that makes sure that
 	  the Tcl clock stays within 1.1 ms of the system clock over the
 	  duration of the test.

2000-11-21  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/global.n: 
	* doc/upvar.n: 
	* doc/variable.n: Improved documentation to mention that variables
	  so created are listed in [info locals] and added a few more
	  cross-links between these commands.  Fixes bug #119387

2000-11-17  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tests/safe.test: (safe-4.3):
	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): Changed again.  Now passes all
	  the tests, though one needed modifying since it required the
	  wrong answer.  (Why on earth do we have inline modification of
	  argument strings?  This sort of thing is horrendous to debug and
	  doesn't work well in a multithreaded environment!)  Fixes bug
	  119192.

	* tests/var.test: (var-1.19) If my attempts to fix the problem
	  aren't right yet, my attempts to describe it look pretty good to
	  me...

2000-11-16  Andreas Kupries  <a.kupries@westend.com>

	* win/tclWinPort.h (line 69): Changed reference to winsock2.h into
 	  winsock.h. This was a leftover from a foray into using winsock
 	  version 2 (History lesson from Scott Redman and Jeff
 	  Hobbs). This code was no problem when compiling Tcl itself, but
 	  could trip extensions. Fixes bug 122568.

2000-11-15  jeff hobbs  <jeff.hobbs@acm.org>

	* unix/Makefile.in: removed bp.c references (hasn't existed in a
	  long time).  Corrected 'make dist' to make dist with unversioned
	  library directories (same as out of cvs), so make install works
	  correctly with either source tree.

2000-11-15  jeff hobbs  <jeff.hobbs@acm.org>

	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): reverted fix below as it broke
	  all other array unset error reporting.  Bug-119192 is still
	  open.

2000-11-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): Changed references to part2 to
	  use elName instead in various error message generating spots, so
	  as to fix Bug-119192.

2000-11-03  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* win/.cvsignore: Removed 'configure' from the glob list now
	  that it's included.

2000-11-03  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

	8.4a2 RELEASE

	* unix/Makefile.in (install-libraries, dist): 
	* win/makefile.vc (install-libraries):
	* win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): updated to install
	unversioned library directories into versioned directories.

	* tools/tcl.wse.in: updated for unversioning of library dirs

	* unix/mkLinks: updated mkLinks with latest doc updates

	* doc/Tcl_Main.3: added docs for Tcl_SetMainLoop

	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* generic/tclDecls.h:
	* generic/tcl.decls: added Tcl_SetMainLoop proc that allows people
	to set a main loop that will run for tclsh.
	* generic/tcl.h: added Tcl_MainLoopProc typedef
	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_SetMainLoop, StdinProc, Prompt): new
	StdinProc and Prompt static procs and Tcl_SetMainLoop stubs proc.
	The first two handle a fileevent based prompt (taken from
	tkMain.c).  Tcl_SetMainLoop enables the interactive setting of a
	main loop procedure.  This enables Tk to be a loadable package.

2000-11-02  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* generic/tclEvent.c: tclLibraryPath Tcl_Obj didn't have a way
	to share its data among threads.  This caused Tcl_Init() to
	always fail in threads.  Added a way to pass the data around
	with a global char*.  [BUG: 5301]

2000-11-02  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

	* unix/configure:
	* unix/dltest/configure:
	* win/configure:
	* tools/configure: checked in configure scripts so people doing
	CVS checkouts aren't required to have autoconf.  Changes to
	configure.in in the future will require the corresponding
	configure script to also be re-autoconf'ed and checked in.

	* win/makefile.vc:
	* win/tcl.m4: makefile fixes for Win64 support

	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): minor cast
	changes.

2000-11-01  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

	* unix/tcl.m4: removed use of -lbsd and -ldl for AIX-5.

	* tests/subst.test: added tests for non-zero return code handling
	by subst.
	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_EvalEx): corrected handling of non-zero,
	non-error return code cases for subst. [BUG: 119829]

	* generic/tclVar.c (TclVarTraceExists): Corrected excessive mem
	use when info exists was called on a non-existent array element.
	[BUG: 119213, 119336]

2000-10-30  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* win/configure.in:
	* win/Makefile.in:
	* win/makefile.vc:
	* win/tcl.rc:
	* win/tclsh.rc: Added logic to derive filenames better in the resource
	scripts based on compile options.

2000-10-30  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: added default encoding map from
	"ja_JP.eucJP" to "euc-jp". (takahashi)

	* tests/clock.test: corrected clock-2.* test numbering

	* unix/configure.in (SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS): removed code that was
	commented out (it had been moved to tcl.m4's SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS
	already).

	* unix/tcl.m4: consolidated gettimeofday check for AIX.

2000-10-27  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tcl.m4: added support for AIX-5.

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_NotifyChannel): removed #ifdef around code
	for old channel structures, placed preserve/release around statePtr
	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): the statePtr for a channel was
	not being freed when the last channel in a stack was freed,
	causing a mem leak.

	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: updated channel types to strict
	TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_2 style to avoid compiler warnings.  They work
	either way, but this avoids compiler warnings (that worries people).

2000-10-27  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>

	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Removed a cd into the test
	directory in runAllTests that screwed up the temporary directory
	setting, effectively preventing users from running tests on
	multiple platforms at the same time.

2000-10-26  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchFilesTypes): NULL was being set to
	"attr" which was a DWORD.  Changed NULL to zero because a 'void *'
	can't be set to a DWORD to avoid the compiler warning.

2000-10-24  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>

	* tests/all.tcl: Removed support for tcltest 1.0.
	
	* tests/tcltest.test:
	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl:
	* library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl:
	* docs/tcltest.n: Moved tcltest2 code so that it's the standard
	version of tcltest.  Removed all tcltest2 files
	(tests/tcltest2.test, library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl,
	docs/tcltest2.n). 

2000-10-20  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchFilesTypes): made the stat call only
	occur when necessary (for 'glob' command).  Significantly speeds
	up glob command from 8.3. [BUG: 6216]

2000-10-19  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>

	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl:
	* tests/tcltest2
	* doc/tcltest2.n: Code and documentation cleanup.  Modified
	-verbose to take list of keywords as well as string of letters.
	Removed Tcl version information from tcltest. Removed
	tcltest::grep from tcltest package. Added optional 3rd directory
	argument to  makeFile/makeDirectory and removeFile/removeDirectory.

	* tests/basic.test: Changed references to tcltest::tclVersion to
	hardcoded numbers.
	* generic/tcl.h: Changed reference to tcltest2.tcl and tcltest.tcl
	in comments to tests/basic.test.

2000-10-06  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* win/tclWinChan.c: moved Win2K bug case test with GetStdHandle()
	from TclpGetDefaultStdChannel into Tcl_MakeFileChannel to enable
	a more general method in detecting invalid OS handles rather than
	just a specific known case. [BUG: 5971]

2000-10-06  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

	* tests/cmdAH.test: extra tests for 'file channels' that include
	multiple interpreter tests and channel sharing
	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetChannelNamesEx): corrected function (and
	consequently 'file channels') to return channels that are actually
	registered for this specific interp, rather than this thread.

	* doc/CrtChannel.3: fixed spelling mistakes

2000-09-29  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>

	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl:
	* tests/tcltest2.test:
	* doc/tcltest2.n: Modified the new form of the test command to
	accept both attribute-value pairs and command line options.
	Updated the tests and the documentation for this new format.
	Also changed the option names for the test command.

2000-09-29  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialGetOptionProc): corrected reporting of
	space parity on Windows (Eason) [Bug 6057].

	* win/Makefile.in: commented use of TESTFLAGS
	* unix/Makefile.in: added TESTFLAGS to test target to
	conform with Windows makefile and TEA style.

	* tests/stack.test: prevented possible crash on systems with low
	default stacksize (Tru64, AIX) in infinite recursion test.  A
	solution to check remaining stack space in the core is best, but
	hard to do in a cross-platform manner.

	* generic/tclIOGT.c (FLUSH_DELAY): renamed DELAY define to
	FLUSH_DELAY to avoid defn conflict using Tru64's cc.

2000-09-28  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

	* tools/tcl.wse.in: added tclPlatDecls.h and tkPlatDecls.h to the
	Windows .exe install.

	* tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-6.20): corrected test to remove
	c:/tcl8975@ after creating it.

	* tests/fileName.test: cleaned up the testing of glob patterns for
	c:/globTest (Windows) to directly create/remove directory.

2000-09-27  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

	* generic/tcl.decls:
	* generic/tclIO.c: updated Tcl_IsChannelShared,
	Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel,
	Tcl_IsChannelExisting, and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers to conform to
	the new stacked channel implementation.  Their stub slots were
	also moved to give preference to the new 8.3.2 stub functions.
	This will cause an incompatability with 8.4a1 only.
	(StopCopy): fixed a bug introduced by a partial fix in 8.3.2 that
	didn't set nonBlocking correctly when resetting the flags for the
	write side.  [Bug: 6261]

	* doc/ChnlStack.3:
	* doc/CrtChannel.3:
	* generic/tcl.decls:
	* generic/tcl.h:
	* generic/tclDecls.h:
	* generic/tclIO.c:

	* win/tclWinSerial.c:
	* win/tclWinSock.c: Up-port of changes made in 8.3.2 to 8.4a2 code
	base.  Most of these changes relate to the rewrite of the stacked
	channel implementation, with a few config related fixes.

	Following is an asynchronous include of the applicable ChangeLog
	entries from 8.3.2.

	********************************************************
	** START OF ASYNCHRONOUS UP-PORT LOG (8.3.2 -> 8.4a2) **
	********************************************************

2000-08-07  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* doc/ChnlStack.3:
	* doc/CrtChannel.3: updated the docs to be aware of the
	TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_2 style of Tcl channels.

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CreateChannel): added assertion to verify
	that the new channel versioning will be binary compatible with
	older channel drivers.

2000-08-05  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclIOGT.c (TclChannelTransform): fixed segfault that
	would occur when transforming a channel with a proc that did not
	yet exist. (Kupries)

	* generic/tclTest.c (TestChannelCmd): added some lint init'ing of
	statePtr and chan vars.

2000-07-26  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* merged core-8-3-1-io-rewrite back into core-8-3-1-branch.
	The core-8-3-1-io-rewrite branch should now be considered defunct.

	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* generic/tclDecls.h:
	* generic/tcl.decls:
	* generic/tcl.h:
	* generic/tclIO.c: moved the Tcl_Channel* macros from tcl.h to
	tclIO.c and made them proper stubbed functions.  These are:
	Tcl_ChannelName, Tcl_ChannelVersion, Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc,
	Tcl_ChannelCloseProc, Tcl_ChannelClose2Proc, Tcl_ChannelInputProc,
	Tcl_ChannelOutputProc, Tcl_ChannelSeekProc, Tcl_ChannelSetOptionProc,
	Tcl_ChannelGetOptionProc, Tcl_ChannelWatchProc,
	Tcl_ChannelGetHandleProc, Tcl_ChannelFlushProc,
	and Tcl_ChannelHandlerProc.  These should be used to access the
	Tcl_ChannelType structure instead of direct pointer dereferencing.

	* tests/iogt.test: added RCS string, marked tests 2.* to be
	unixOnly due to underlying system differences.

2000-07-25 Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>

	* tests/iogt.test: (line 866f) New tests iogt-6.[01], highlighting
 	  buffering trouble when stacking and unstacking transformations.
	  iogt-6.0 is solved, see the changes below. iogt-6.1 remains, for
 	  now, due to the perceived complexity of solutions.

	* generic/tclIO.h: (line 139f) struct Channel, added a buffer
	  queue, to hold data pushed back when stacking a transformation.

	* generic/tclIO.c:
	  (line 91f, line 7434f) New internal function 'CopyBuffer'.
	  Derived from 'CopyAndTranslateBuffer', with translation
	  removed.
	  (line 1025f, line 1212f): Initialization of new queue.
	  (line 1164f, Tcl_StackChannel): Pushback of input queue.
	  (line 1293f, Tcl_UnstackChannel): Discard input and pushback.
	  (line 3748f, Tcl_ReadRaw): Modified to use data in the push back
	  area before going to the driver. Uses 'CopyBuffer', s.a.
	  (line 4702f, GetInput): Modified to use data in the push back
	  area before going to the driver.
 	  (line 4867f, Tcl_Seek): Modified to take pushback of the topmost
	  channel in a stack into account.
	  (line 5620f, Tcl_InputBuffered): See above. Added
	  'Tcl_ChannelBuffered'. Analogue to 'Tcl_InputBuffered' but for
	  the buffer area in the channel.

	* generic/tcl.decls: New public API 'Tcl_ChannelBuffered'. S.a.

2000-07-17  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* unix/Makefile.in:
	* win/Makefile.in:
	* win/makefile.vc: added tclIOGT.c to objects list to compile.

	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
	* generic/tclInt.decls: commented out internal decls for
	TclTestChannelCmd and TclTestChannelEventCmd as they were moved to
	tclTest.c.  Added new decls for TclChannelEventScriptInvoker and
	TclChannelTransform.

	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): stopped masking out of the
	TCL_READABLE|TCL_WRITABLE bits from the state flags in
	CloseChannel, instead adding extra intelligence to
	CheckChannelErrors with a new CHANNEL_RAW_MODE bit for special
	behavior when called from Raw channel APIs.

2000-07-13  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (StackSetBlockMode): moved set of chanPtr
	outside of blockModeProc check to avoid infinite loop when
	blockModeProc was NULL (Kupries).  updated TransformSeekProc to
	not call Tcl_Seek directly (Kupries).

	* win/tclWinChan.c: updated fileChannelType to v2 channel struct
	* win/tclWinConsole.c: updated consoleChannelType to v2 channel struct
	* win/tclWinPipe.c: updated pipeChannelType to v2 channel struct
	* win/tclWinSerial.c: updated serialChannelType to v2 channel struct
	* win/tclWinSock.c: updated tcpChannelType to v2 channel struct

2000-07-11  Brent Welch	<welch@ajubasolutions.com>

	* win/tclConfig.sh.in (TCL_LIBS): Cleaned up unix-specific
	autoconf variables.

2000-07-11  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* tests/iogt.test: made tests [345].0 not run by default as they
	were failing in the new design, but I'm not convinced that the
	returned result isn't correct.

	* generic/tclDecls.h:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* generic/tcl.decls: added Tcl_GetTopChannel C API that returns
	the current top channel of a channel stack.  Tcl_GetChannel was
	changed earlier to return the bottommost channel of a stack
	because that is the one that is guaranteed to stay around the
	longest, and this was needed to compensate for certain
	operations that want to look at the state of the main channel.
	Most channel APIs already compensate for grabbing the top, so it
	shouldn't be needed often.

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_StackChannel, Tcl_UnstackChannel): Added
	flushing of buffers (Kupries), removed use of DownChannel macro,
	added Tcl_GetTopChannel public API to get to the top channel of
	the channel stack (necessary for TLS).  Rewrote Tcl_NotifyChannel
	for new channel design (Kupries).  Did some code cleanup in the
	transform code.  tclIO.c must still be broken into bits (separate
	out test code and giot code, create tclIO.h).

2000-07-10  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>

	* tests/iogt.test: Reverted some earlier changes as a fix by Jeff
	  revived the original and correct behaviour. IOW, the tests showed
	  a genuine error and I didn't see it :(.

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Read|Write_Raw): Changed to directly use
 	  the drivers and not DoRead|DoWrite. The latter use the buffering
 	  system, encoding and eol-translation and this wreaks havoc with
 	  the data going through the transformations. Both procedures use
 	  CheckForchannelErrors and let it believe that there is no
 	  background copy in progress or else stacked channels could not
	  be used for that.

	* generic/tclIO.c (TclCopyChannel, CopyData): Moved access to the
 	  topmost channel from the first to the second procedure to make
 	  the decision about that at the last possible time (Callbacks can
 	  change the stacking).

	test suite: failures of iogt-[345].0
	
2000-07-06  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* tests/iogt.test: new tests for stacked channel stuff based off
	new 'testchannel transform|unstack' code (Kupries IOGT extension).
	* generic/tcl.decls:
	* generic/tcl.h:
	* generic/tclDecls.h:
	* generic/tclStubsInit.c:
	* generic/tclIO.c: complete rewrite of Tcl Channel code for
	stacked channels.  Channels are now designed to work in a more
	stacked fashion with a shared ChannelState data structure.

2000-06-02  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): removed the &ing out of
	(TCL_READABLE|TCL_WRITABLE) from the flags, as CloseChannel does
	this on the next pass through for the top channel, and it appeared
	to be causing hangs by not allowing the final flush.

2000-06-01  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): Rewrote CloseChannel code to
	unstack a channel during the close process.  Fixed a refcount bug
	in Tcl_UnstackChannel.  [Bug: 5623]
	(CloseChannel): further extended CloseChannel in the stacked case
	to effect certain operations on the next channel that would have
	been done in Tcl_Close.  Also added CHANNEL_CLOSED and removed
	(TCL_READABLE|TCL_WRITABLE) bits from chanPtr->flags.  Changed
	final reset of the WatchProc to check the chanDownPtr's (next)
	interestMask.

	******************************************************
	** END OF ASYNCHRONOUS UP-PORT LOG (8.3.2 -> 8.4a2) **
	******************************************************

2000-09-20  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* tests/socket.test: removed doTestsWithRemoteServer constraint
	from socket-12.*.  It requires 'exec', not a remote server.
	Cleaned up some coding errors.

2000-09-20  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>

	* library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: Updated to load tcltest 2.0.
	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl: New version of tcltest.  
	Cleanup of command line parsing: allows users to specify command
	line arguments through an environment variable named
	TCLTEST_OPTIONS [RFE: 3748], does not respond to incorrect
	arguments, and forces usage of entire flag name when using command
	line arguments.  Defines accessor procs for all tcltest
	variables.  Allows users to use 'return' in test scripts. Allow
	users to specify whether test files should be sourced or run in a
	separate process.  'all.tcl' code moved to tcltest package.
	'test' proc modified to use attribute-value pairs.  Allow users to
	specify what return codes, output, and errors can be compared and
	whether these values should be compared using regexp, glob, or
	exact matching.  makeDirectory & removeDirectory now operate with
	respect to temporaryDirectory [Bug: 6001].  Test results from
	tests run in slave interpreters are now included in test totals
	[Bug: 1493].  Test files that return error values are now reported.
	
	* tests/all.tcl: Added code to check for the tcltest version
	loaded; modified to figure out which tests to run based on the
	tcltest version loaded.
	* tests/tcltest.test: Modified to explicitly load version 1.0 of
	tcltest.
	* tests/tcltest2.test: New test suite for tcltest; includes all of
	the old tests plus new ones reflecting changes made for version
	2.0.
	* tests/cmdAH.test: Added singleTestInterp constraint to
	cmdAH-31.2; this test does not run if tests aren't sourced into a
	single interpreter.
	* tests/socket.test: Fixed two tests that were referencing
	variables outside of scope.
	
	* tools/tcl.wse.in: Added code to install tcltest2.tcl.

	* doc/tcltest2.n: New documentation for tcltest version 2.0.
	Removes documentation for tcltest namespace variables.  Adds
	documentation for new tcltest procs.

	* unix/mkLinks: Added code to link to tcltest2.n.

	* generic/tcl.h: Added comment to modify tcltest2.tcl as well as
	tcltest.tcl for version changes.

2000-09-19  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): When using -all, all
	attempts after the first to match the regexp against the string
	should include the TCL_REG_NOTBOL flag, to avoid erroneously
	matching ^ in the middle of the string.  Added code to set this
	flag after the first pass through the matching loop. [Bug: 6284].

2000-09-19  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* doc/Eval.3:  Added a note about the script argument to Tcl_Eval()
	should be in UTF-8 or risk implied conversion errors when possible
	combinations of upper ascii can be valid UTF-8 special codes.

2000-09-17  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* tests/cmdIL.test: Added a test for fix for [Bug: 6212].

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Applied patch from [Bug:
	6212], which corrected an error in the handling of the -index option.

2000-09-14  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* doc/Alloc.3: Added entries for Tcl_AttemptAlloc, Tcl_AttempRealloc.

	* doc/StringObj.3: Added entry for Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength.
	
	* generic/tclDecls.h:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regen'ed stubs files from new tcl.decls.

	* generic/tcl.decls: Added stubs for the Tcl_Attempt* memory
	allocators and for Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength.

	* generic/tcl.h: Added #define's for attemptckalloc,
	attemptckrealloc, which map to the Tcl_Attempt* memory allocators.

	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: Added non-panic'ing versions of Tcl_Alloc,
	Tcl_Realloc, etc.; these are called Tcl_AttemptAlloc,
	Tcl_AttemptRealloc, etc.  These are used by
	Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength and the string obj append functions.

	* generic/tclStringObj.c: Modified string growth algorithm to use
	doubling algorithm as long as possible, and only fall back when
	that fails.  Added Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength, and modified
	AppendUnicodeToUnicodeRep, AppendUtfToUtfRep, and
	Tcl_AppendStringsToObjVA to support this.

2000-09-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* win/.cvsignore: changed the glob patterns a bit to exclude VC++
	project conversion backups.

	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Stage-1 bug fix for TR#2460 "exec leaks memory".
	Added more logic around the close-down of the pipe reader thread so
	as to avoid, at all cost, a TerminateThread.  Most cases with exec
	are fixed, but I don't consider 2460 done yet.  Closing down the
	read side of a pipe before the child process, doesn't really fit
	the windows model.  [BUG: 2460]

2000-09-07  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* doc/trace.n: minor doc cleanup

2000-09-06  André Pönitz <poenitz@htwm.de>

	* doc/*.n: added or changed "SEE ALSO:" section

2000-09-06  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* win/tclWinLoad.c (TclpLoadFile): added special message for
	ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND exception in loading a dll.
	* win/tclWinError.c: changed ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND to map from
	ESRCH (POSIX: no such process) to EINVAL because there is no good
	mapping for "procedure not found".

	* README:
	* generic/tcl.h:
	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl:
	* tools/tcl.wse.in: 
	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl:
	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tcl.spec:
	* win/README.binary:
	* win/configure.in: updated patchlevel to 8.4a2

	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): Removed WNOHANG from
	Tcl_WaitPid call in error case of process creation on Unix, as it
	would lead to defunct processes. [Bug: 6148]

	* tests/string.test: extended string repeat tests
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): changed STR_REPEAT to
	preallocate the full space of the final string, avoided repeated
	appends.

	* doc/source.n:
	* doc/Eval.3: added extra note about how to safe use ^Z in code,
	as it is now a cross-platform (was just Windows) EOF char.

2000-09-05  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclHash.c: fixed pedantic warning of incorrectly placed
	#endif

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): INST_STR_INDEX fixed
	pedantic cast warning.
	Corrected support for building with -DTCL_COMPILE_STATS.
	Added efficiency check of object equality.

2000-08-29  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c: Applied patch from Gerhard Hintermayer
	to provide a more conservative string growth algorithm for strings
	larger than one megabyte; this allows more efficient use of memory
	for very large strings.

2000-08-25  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* tests/trace.test: Extended array tracing tests.

	* doc/trace.n: Clarified information about when array traces will
	be fired.

	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): Corrected call to CallTraces
	(for TCL_TRACE_ARRAY) to only be called when the variable is
	either an array or is undefined, to ensure that array traces do
	not fire for scalar variables.

2000-08-24  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
	
	* doc/man.macros: Tweaked tab settings for .SO (Standard Options) 
	sections, based on suggestion from Peter Spjuth.

2000-08-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

	* unix/README: Update to account for removal of --enable-gcc.
	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_GCC): Remove --enable-gcc option.
	* win/README: Add note about building with Cygwin.
	* win/configure.in: 
	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_GCC): Remove --enable-gcc option.
	Remove quick hack that provided cross compile support for
	windows builds.

2000-08-24  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	Overall change:  Added support for command rename/delete traces
	and new trace syntax, from patch from Vince Darley.  Added support
	for array traces for variables.  [RFE: 5048, 5967].

	* doc/trace.n: Updated documentation for new syntax; flagged old
	syntax as deprecated; added documentation for command
	rename/delete traces and variable array traces.

	* tests/trace.test: Updated tests for new trace syntax; new tests
	for command rename/delete traces; new tests for array traces.

	* generic/tclVar.c: Support for new trace syntax; support for
	TCL_TRACE_ARRAY.

	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* generic/tclDecls.h:
	* generic/tcl.decls: Stub functions for command rename/delete traces.

	* generic/tcl.h: 
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclBasic.c: Support for command traces.

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclTraceVariableObjCmd): Patched to support
	new [trace] syntax:  
	trace {add|remove|list} {variable|command} name ops command
	Added support for command traces (rename, delete operations).
	Added support for TCL_TRACE_ARRAY at Tcl level (array operation
	for variable traces).
	
2000-08-20  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* generic/tclVar.c: Added check for non-arrays for [array statistics]
	command (patch from Mark Patton).

2000-08-19  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h: without a previous '#include <windows.h>',
	tclPlatDecls.h can't be parsed due to a missing definition of TCHAR.
	Added a check to include it when not defined.

	***POSSIBLE OBSCURE BUG*** could be caused when the compile flags
	for the core happen to be different than a project who uses these
	publics regarding -D_MBCS and -D_UNICODE.  This added check might
	have to be revisited later with a better understanding of the
	reprocusions.  I think TCHAR should be replaced with it's expansion.

2000-08-18  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* win/.cvsignore (added): provides a cleaner build environment with
	graphical CVS clients.

2000-08-15  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Set debug level in

	(Patch from Vince Darley).

	* win/makefile.vc: Applied patch from Don Porter to provide better

	GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE)	giving the wrong answer.  This
	made TclpGetDefaultStdChannel grab what it thought was a valid
	native stdout handle.  Added a new WriteFile() test to	make sure

	-subsystem:windows (aka WinMain) application that dynamically
	load tclXX.dll [BUG: 5971]

	* library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: 
	* doc/msgcat.n: 
	* tests/msgcat.test: Applied patches from Chris Nelson, to provide
	the mcmset function, which allows the translator to set multiple

	requiring many calls to mcset. [RFE: 6000, 5993].  In addition,
	these patches correct mcload to use utf-8 encoding on when reading

2000-05-29  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

	* tests/http.test
	* doc/http.n
	* library/http2.3/http.tcl: Fixed bug 5741, where unsuccessful
	geturl calls sometimes leaked memory and resources (sockets).  
	Also, switched around some of the logic so that http::wait never 
	throws an exception.  This is because in an asynchronous geturl, 
	the command callback will probably end up doing all the error 
	handling anyway, and in an asynchronous situation, the user
	expects to check the state when the transaction completes, as
	opposed to being thrown an exception.	For the http package, this
	menas the user can check http::status for "error" and http::error
	for the error message after doing the http::wait.

	Extended evalstats output info with Tcl_IsShared stat info.

	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_DbIsShared): added support for checking
	result of Tcl_IsShared in evalstats (TCL_COMPILE_STATS).

	(AppendUnicodeToUnicodeRep) removed overallocation by extra
	sizeof(Tcl_UniChar) multiplier.

	updated LAST_INST_OPCODE value.

	* generic/tclBasic.c: Added information about TclCompileStringCmd
	and TclCompileReturnCmd to BuiltInCmds table.

	INST_STRLEN opcode.

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c 
	(TclCompileStringCmd): Basic implementation of byte-compiled
	[string] command.  Not all subcommands are implemented; those
	that are not an out-line compiled.

	(TclCompileReturnCmd): Byte-compiled implementation of [return]

	  Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_CutChannel,
	  Tcl_SpliceChannel, Tcl_IsChannelExisting and
	  Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers (slots 394 to 400).

	* generic/tclIO.c: Implemented Tcl_IsChannelRegistered,
 	  Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel,
 	  Tcl_IsChannelExisting and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers.
	  Tcl_CutChannel uses code from CloseChannel. Replaced this code
 	  by a call to Tcl_CutChannel.  Replaced several code fragments
 	  adding channels to the channel list with calls to
 	  Tcl_SpliceChannel. Removed now unused variables from
 	  CloseChannel and Tcl_UnstackChannel.  Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers
 	  uses code from Tcl_Close. Replaced this code by a call to
 	  Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers. Removed now unused variables from
 	  Tcl_Close. Added the subcommands 'cut', 'forgetch', 'splice' and
 	  'isshared' to the test code
	  (TclTestChannelCmd).

	* unix/tclUnixThread.c: Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using the
	  pthread-functionality.

	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Fixed several small typos in comments.
	  Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using a platform independent
	  emulation layer (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c below). Added
	  'joinLock' to serialize Tcl_CreateThread and TclpExitThread to
	  prevent a race for joinable threads.

	* mac/tclMacThrd.c: Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using a platform
	  independent emulation layer (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c
	  below). Due to the cooperative nature of threading on this
	  platform the race mentioned above is not present.

	* generic/tclThreadJoin.c: New file. Contains a platform
	  independent emulation layer helping in the implementation of
	  joinable threads for the win and mac platforms.

	* generic/tclInt.h: Added declarations for TclJoinThread,
	  TclRememberJoinableThread and TclSignalExitThread. These
	  procedures define the API of the emulation layer for joinable
	  threads (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c above).

	* win/Makefile.in:
	* win/makefile.vc: Added generic/tclTheadJoin.o to the rules.

	* mac/: I don't know to which file generic/tclTheadJoin.o has to
	  be added to so that it compiles. Sorry.

	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: #ifdef'd the thread-local list of file
 	  channels as it prevents us from transfering channels. To restore
 	  this we may need an extended interface to drivers in the
 	  future. Target: 9.0. Found while testing the new transfer of
 	  channels. The information in this list for a channel was left
 	  behind and then crashed the system during finalization.

	* generic/tclThreadTest.c: Added -joinable flag to 'testthread
	  create'. Added subcommand 'testthread join'.

	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Added documentation for Tcl_IsChannelRegistered,
 	  Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel,
	  Tcl_IsChannelExisting and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers.

	* doc/Thread.3: Added documentation for Tcl_JoinThread.

	* tests/thread.test: Added tests for joining of threads.

2000-04-27  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* doc/library.n: Added entries for auto_qualify and auto_import
	[Bug: 1271].

	* doc/Init.3: Manual entry for Tcl_Init [Bug: 1820].

	* doc/expr.n: Added documentation for each of the math library
	functions that expr supports [Bug: 1054].

2000-04-26  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* doc/memory.n: Man page for Tcl "memory" command, which is
	created when TCL_MEM_DEBUG is defined at compile time.

	* doc/TCL_MEM_DEBUG.3: Man page with overall information about
	TCL_MEM_DEBUG usage.

	* doc/DumpActiveMemory.3: Man page for Tcl_DumpActiveMemory,
	Tcl_InitMemory, and Tcl_ValidateAllMemory [Bug: 1816, 1835].

	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: Fixed some function headers.

	* unix/mkLinks: Regen'd with new mkLinks.tcl.

	* unix/mkLinks.tcl: Fixed indentation, made link setup more
	intelligent (only do one existance test per man page, instead of
	one per function).

	* doc/library.n: Fixed .SH NAME macro to include each function
	documented on the page, so that mkLinks will know about the
	functions listed there, and so that the Windows help file index
	will get set up correctly [Bug: 1898, 5273].

2000-04-24  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_FinalizeNotifier, NotifierThreadProc):
	added write of 'q' into triggerPipe for notifier in threaded case,
	so that Tcl doesn't hang when children are still running [Bug: 4139]

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_MutexLock): minor comment fixes.

2000-04-23  Jim Ingham  <jingham@cygnus.com>

	These changes make some error handling marginally better for Mac
	sockets.  It is still somewhat flakey, however.

	* mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpClose): Add timeouts to the close - these
	don't seem to be honored, however.
	Use a separate PB for the release, since an async connect socket
	will still be using the original buffer.
	Make sure TCPRelease returns noErr before freeing the recvBuff.
	If the call returns an error, then the buffer is not right.
	* mac/tclMacSock.c (CreateSocket): Add timeouts to the async
	create. These don't seem to trigger, however.  Sigh...
	* mac/tclMacSock.c (WaitForSocketEvent): If an TCP_ASYNC_CONNECT
	socket errors out, then return EWOULDBLOCK & error out.
	* mac/tclMacSock.c (NotifyRoutine): Added a NotifyRoutine for
	experimenting with MacTCP.

2000-04-22  Jim Ingham <jingham@cygnus.com>

	* library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown): Fixed a typo in the Mac package
	search part of tclPkgUnknown.

2000-04-21  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed a newly introduced bug where if
	there's a -command callback and something goes wrong, geturl threw
	an exception, called the callback, and unset the token.  I changed
	it so that it will not call the callback when throwing an
	exception (so the caller only finds out about a given error from
	one place).  Also, fixed http::ncode so that it actually gives you
	back the http return code (i.e. 200, 404, etc.) instead of the
	first digit of the version of HTTP being used (i.e. 1).

2000-04-21  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: More thrashing with the "server closes
	without reading post data" scenario.  Reverted to the previous
	filevent configuratiuon, which seems to work better with small
	amounts of post data.  

2000-04-20  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclAlloc.c: wrapped caddr_t define to not be done on Unix
	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: added Tclp*Alloc defines to allow the use of
	USE_TCLALLOC on Unix. [Bug: 4731]

	* library/dde1.1/pkgIndex.tcl:
	* library/reg1.0/pkgIndex.tcl:
	* win/tclWinChan.c:
	* win/tclWinThrd.c: converted CRLF to LF the */tcl.hpj.in files

	* win/Makefile.in: expanded cleanup target for help files

	* doc/Thread.3: minor macro cleanup

	* generic/tclFileName.c (SplitUnixPath): added support for QNX
	node ids.

	blocking mode (default state) after a -async connect succeeds.
	[Bug: 4388]

	* generic/tclEvent.c (TclInitSubsystems): Moved tclLibraryPath to
	thread-local storage to prevent thread-related race condition.
	[Bug: 5033]
	* unix/tclAppInit.c (main): removed #ifdef TCL_TEST that sets the
	library path as it was unnecessary and conflicts with move of
	tclLibraryPath to thread-local storage.

2000-04-12  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* doc/dde.n: corrected dde poke docs. [Bug: 4991]

2000-04-11  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Added "CONST" keyword to declaration of char
	*native in TclpCreateTempFile, to supress compiler warnings.

2000-04-10  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tcl.h: Fixed Tcl_CreateThread declaration.
	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Fixed the "mainThread"
	initialization to work with either testthread or the thread extension
	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Fixed compiler warning when compiling
	with -DTCL_THREADS

2000-04-10  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): Added conversion of
	contents string from UTF to native encoding [Bug: 4030].

	* tests/regexp.test: Added tests for infinite looping in [regexp
	-all].
	
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Fixed infinite loop bug with [regexp -all]
	[Bug: 4981].

	* tests/*.test: Changed all occurances of "namespace import
	::tcltest" to "namespace import -force ::tcltest" [Bug: 3948].

2000-04-09  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>

	* lib/httpd2.1/http.tcl: Worked on the "server closes before
	reading post data" case, which unfortunately causes different
	error cases on Solaris, which can read the reply, and Linux
	and Windows, which cannot read anything.  This is all in the
	loop-back case - client and server on the same host.  Also
	unified the error handling so the "ioerror" status goes away
	and errors are reflected in a more uniform way. Updated the
	man page to document the behavior.

2000-04-09  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* tests/reg.test (matchexpected): corrected tests to use tcltest
	constraint types to skip certain tests.

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_SetCommandInfo): comment fix

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread): moved TCL_THREADS ifdef
	inside of func as it is declared for non-threads builds as well.
	In the non-threads case, it always returns TCL_ERROR (couldn't
	create thread).

2000-04-08  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>

	* Overall change: Definition of a public API for the creation of
	  new threads.

	* generic/tclInt.h (line 1802f): Removed the definition of
	'TclpThreadCreate'. (line 793f) Removed the definition of
	'Tcl_ThreadCreateProc'.

	* generic/tcl.h (line 388f): Readded the definition of
	  'Tcl_ThreadCreateProc'. Added Win32 stuff send in by David
	  Graveraux <davygrvy@bigfoot.com> to that too (__stdcall,
	  ...). Added macros for the default stacksize and allowed flags.

	* generic/tcl.decls (line 1356f): Added definition of
	  'Tcl_CreateThread', slot 393 of the stub table. Two new
	  arguments in the public API, for stacksize and flags.

	* win/tclWinThrd.c:
	* mac/tclMacThrd.c: Renamed TclpThreadCreate to Tcl_CreateThread,
	  added handling of the stacksize. Flags are currently ignored.

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: See above, but handles joinable
	  flag. Ignores the specified stacksize if the macro
	  HAVE_PTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE is not defined.

	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (line 363): See below.

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (line 210): Adapted to the changes
	  above. Uses default stacksize and no flags now.

	* unic/tcl.m4 (line 382f): Added a check for
	  'pthread_attr_setstacksize' to detect platforms not implementing
	  this feature of pthreads. If it is implemented, configure will
	  define the macro HAVE_PTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE (See
	  unix/tclUnixThrd.c too).

	* doc/Thread.3: Added Tcl_CreateThread and its arguments to the
	  list of described functions. Removed stuff about not providing a
	  public C-API for thread-creation.

2000-04-07  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* doc/binary.n: clarified docs on sign extension in binary scan
	[Bug: 3466]

	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl (initConstraints): removed win32s
	references (no longer supported)

	* tests/fCmd.test: marked test 8.1 knownBug because it is
	dangerous on poorly configured systems [Bug: 3881]
	and added 8.2 to keep essence of 8.1 tested.

2000-04-05  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_UnstackChannel, line 1831): Forcing
	interest mask to the correct value after an unstack and
	re-initialization of the notifier via the watchProc. Without this
	the first fileevent after an unstack will come through and be
	processed, but no more. [Bug: ??].

2000-03-04  Brent Welch  <welch@scriptics.com>

	* {win,unix}/Makefile.in: added dependency of tclStubInit.c on
	tcl.decls and tclInt.decls
	* generic/tclThread.c: Tweak so this compiles w/out TCL_THREADS
	* generic/{tcl.decls,tclStubInit.c}:  Just touched the tcl.decls and
	regenerated the tclStubInit.c file

2000-03-29  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: For the -querychannel option,
	fconfigure the socket to be binary so that we don't translate
	anything while reading the data.  This is because we determine the
	content length of the data on the channel by using seek (to the end
	of the file) and tell on the file handle, and we need the
	content-length to match the amount of data actually sent, and
	translation can affect the number of bytes posted.

2000-04-03  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>

	* Overall change: Definition of public API's for the finalization
	of conditions and mutexes. [Bug: 4199].

	* generic/tclInt.h: Removed definitions of TclFinalizeMutex and
	TclFinalizeCondition.

	* generic/tcl.decls: Added declarations of Tcl_MutexFinalize and
	Tcl_ConditionFinalize.

	* generic/tclThread.c: Renamed TclFinalizeMutex to
	Tcl_MutexFinalize. Renamed TclFinalizeCondition to
	Tcl_ConditionFinalize.

	* generic/tclNotify.c: Changed usage of TclFinalizeMutex to
	Tcl_MutexFinalize.

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: 
	* generic/tclThreadTest.c: Changed usages of TclFinalizeCondition to
	Tcl_ConditionFinalize.

	* generic/tcl.h: Added empty macros for Tcl_MutexFinalize and
	Tcl_ConditionFinalize, to be used when the core is compiled
	without threads. 

	* doc/Thread.3:	Added description the new API's.

2000-04-03  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoVarsCmd): checked for non-NULL procPtr
	to prevent itcl info override crash [Bug: 4064]

	* tests/foreach.test:
	* tests/namespace.test:
	* tests/var.test: Added lsorts to avoid random sorted return
	problems. [Bug: 2682]

	* tests/fileName.test: fixed 14.1 test fragility [Bug: 1482]

	* tools/man2help2.tcl: fixed winhelp cross-linking error [Bug: 4156]
	improved translation to winhelp [Bug: 3679]

	* unix/Makefile.in (MAN_INSTALL_DIR): patch to accept --mandir
	correctly [Bug: 4085]

	* unix/dltest/pkg[a-e].c: Cleaned up test packages [Bug: 2293]

2000-04-03  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (SetGroupAttribute): 
	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (SetOwnerAttribute): Added (uid_t) and (gid_t) 
	casts to avoid compiler warnings.

2000-03-31  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclGet.c (Tcl_GetDouble): Added additional conditions to
	error test (previously only errno was checked, but the return
	value of strtod() should be checked as well).  [Bug: 4118].

	* tests/exec.test: Added test for proper conversion of UTF data
	when used with "<< $dataWithUTF" on exec's.

	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): Added
	Tcl_UtfToExternalDString call, so that if there is UTF content in
	the string it will be properly converted to the system encoding
	before being written [Bug: 4030].
	(TclpCreateTempFile): Added a check on the return value of tmpnam;
	some systems (Linux, for example) will start to return NULL after
	tmpnam has been called TMP_MAX times; not checking for this can
	have bad results (overwriting temp files, core dumps, etc.)

2000-03-30  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): Added comments
	noting the need to pair ckalloc with ckfree. [Bug: 4262]

	* generic/tclInt.decls:
	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: removed TclWinSynchSpawn (vestige of Win32s
	support).

	* win/tclWinReg.c: made use of TclWinGetPlatformId instead of
	getting info again

	* win/tclWinPort.h:
	* win/Makefile.in:
	* win/configure.in:
	* win/tcl.m4: Added support for gcc/mingw on Windows [Bug: 4234]

2000-03-29  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCleanupByteCode): made ByteCode cleanup
	more aware of TCL_BYTECODE_PRECOMPILED flagged structs (gen'd by
	tbcload), to correctly clean them up.

	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): moved check for empty format
	earlier, commented 0 result return value

2000-03-29  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Removed an unnecessary fileevent
	statement from the error processing part of the Write method.
	Also, fixed two potential memory leaks in wait and reset, in which
	the state array wasn't being unset before throwing an exception.
	Prior to this version, Brent checked in a fix to catch a
	fileevent statement that was sometimes causing a stack trace when
	geturl was called with -timeout.  I believe Brent's fix is
	necessary because TLS closes bad sockets for secure connections,
	and the fileevent was trying to act on a socket that no longer
	existed.

2000-03-27  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* tests/httpd: removed unnecessary 'puts stderr "Post Dispatch"'

	* tests/namespace.test:
	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_Export): added a uniq'ing test to the
	export list so only one instance of each export pattern would
	exist in the list.

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): optimized case for
	the empty string in ==/!= comparisons

2000-03-27  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: Added (off_t) type casts in lseek() call
	[Bug: 4409].

	* unix/tclLoadAout.c: 
	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c: Added (off_t) type casts in lseek() calls
	[Bug: 4410].

2000-03-22  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed a bug where string query data
	that was bigger than queryblocksize would get duplicate characters
	at block boundaries.

2000-03-22  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed bug 4463, where we were getting
	a stack trace if we tried to publish a project to a good host but
	a port where there was no server listening.  It turned out the
	problem was a stray fileevent that needed to be cleared.  Also,
	fixed a bug where http::code could stack trace if called on a bad
	token (one which didn't represent a successful geturl) by adding
	an http element to the state array in geturl.

2000-03-21  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/clock.test: Modified some tests that were not robust with
	respect to the time zone in which they were run and were thus
	failing.

	* doc/clock.n: Clarified meaning of -gmt with respect to -base
	when used with [clock scan] (-gmt does not affect the
	interpretation of -base).

2000-03-19  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: geturl used to throw an exception when
	the connection failed; I accidentally returned a token with the
	error info, breaking backwards compatibility.  I changed it back
	to throwing an exception, but unsetting the state array first
	(thus still eliminating the original memory leak problem).

2000-03-19  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Added -querychannel option and altered
	some of Brent's modifications to allow asynchronous posts (via
	-command).  Also modified -queryprogress so that it calls the
	query callback as <callback> <token> <total size> <current size>
	to be consistent with -progress.  Added -queryblocksize option
	with default 8192 bytes for post blocksize.  Fixed a bunch of
	potential memory leaks for the case when geturl receives bad args
	or can't open a socket, etc.  Overall, the package really rocks
	now.

	* doc/http.n: Added -queryblocksize, -querychannel, and
	-queryprogress.  Also, changed the description of -blocksize,
	which states that the -progress callback will be called for each
	block, to now qualify that with an "if -progress is specified".

	* tests/http.test: Added a querychannel test for synchronous and
	asynchronous posts, altered the queryprogress test such that the
	callback conforms to the -progress format.  Also, had to use the
	-queryblocksize option to do the post 16K at a time to match
	Brent's expected results (and to test that -queryblocksize works).

2000-03-15  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Added -queryprogress callback to
	http::geturl and also changed it so that writing the post data
	is event driven if the queryprogress callback or a timeout is given.
	This allows a timeout to occur when writing lots of post data.
	The queryprogress callback is called after each block of query
	data is posted.  It has the same signature as the -progress callback.

2000-03-06  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* library/package.tcl: Applied patch from Bug: 2570; rather than
	setting geometry of slave interp to 0x0 when Tk was loaded, it now
	does "wm withdraw .".  Both remove the main window from the
	display, but the former caused some internal structures to get
	initialized to zero, which caused crashes with some extensions.

2000-03-02  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown): extended to allow
	recognizes changes in the auto_path while sourcing in other
	pkgIndex.tcl files

	* doc/FindExec.3: fixed doc for declaration of Tcl_FindExecutable
	[Bug: 4275]

	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_TranslateFileName): Applied patch
	from Newman to significantly speedup file split/join on Windows
	(replaces regexp with custom parser).  [Bug: 2867]

	* win/README.binary: change mailing lists from @consortium.org
	to @scriptics.com [Bug: 4173]

2000-02-28  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/clock.test: Added test for ISO bases < 100000

	* generic/tclDate.c: (generated on Solaris)
	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Changed condition for deciding if a number
	is an ISO 8601 base from number >= 100000 to numberOfDigits >= 6.
	Previously it would fail to recognize 000000 as an ISO base.

2000-02-14  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* unix/Makefile.in: Added rpm target to generate Tcl binary RPM.

	* unix/tcl.spec: RPM specification file for a Tcl binary RPM for
	Linux.

	added -export-dynamic to LDFLAGS for FreeBSD-3+ [Bug: 2998]

	* win/tclWinLoad.c (TclpLoadFile): improved error message for load
	failures, could perhaps be even more intelligent.

2000-02-09  Jim Ingham	 <jingham@cygnus.com>

	* mac/tclMacSock.c: Don't panic when you get an error closing an async 
	socket.	 This doesn't seem to hurt anything, and we return the error so
	the caller can do the right thing.

	New Files:
	* mac/MW_TclHeader.h:
	* mac/MW_TclTestHeader.h:
	* mac/MW_TclTestHeader.pch:
	* mac/MW_TclAppleScriptHeader.h: More convenient to use .h prefix files
	in the preference panels...

	The above are curtesy of Daniel Steffen (steffen@math.mq.edu.au)

2000-02-08  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/clock.test: Added tests for "next monthname" constructs.
	* generic/tclDate.c:

	* generic/tcl.decls: change Tcl_GetOpenFile to use decl of 'int
	forWriting' instead of 'int write' to avoid shadowing [Bug: 4121]

	* tests/httpold.test: changed test script to source in the httpd
	server procs from httpd instead of having its own set.

	* tests/httpd: improved query support in test httpd to handle fix
	in http.tcl. [Bug: 4089 change 2000-02-01]

	* library/tclIndex: 
	* library/package.tcl: Renamed ::package namespace to ::pkg.

2000-02-03  Eric Melski <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* doc/Package.n:
	* doc/packagens.n: Renamed Package.n -> packagens.n because Windows 
	can't deal with case-sensitive names.

2000-02-02  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* tests/regexp.test: added tests for -all and -inline switches
	* doc/regexp.n: added docs for -all and -inline switches

	auto_load errors not setting error message and errorInfo properly.

2000-02-01  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* win/Makefile.in (install-*): reduced verbosity of install

	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_JoinPath): improved support for special
	QNX node id prefixes in pathnames [Bug: 4053]

	* library/http1.0/http.tcl:
	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: The query data POSTed was newline
	terminated when it shouldn't be altered [Bug: 4089]

2000-01-31  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/package.test: 
	* library/tclIndex: 
	* library/package.tcl: Added ::package namespace and
	::package::create function.

	* library/init.tcl: Fixed problem with auto_load and determining
	if commands were loaded.

	* doc/pkgMkIndex.n: Added additional information.

	* doc/library.n: Added additional qualification regarding auto_mkindex.

2000-01-28  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/pkg/magicchar2.tcl: 
	* tests/autoMkindex.test: Test for auto loader fix (bug #2480).

	* library/init.tcl: auto_load was using [info commands $name] to
	determine if a given command was available; if the command name
	had * or [] it, this would fail because info commands uses
	glob-style matching.  This is fixed.  (Bug #2480).

	* tests/pkg/spacename.tcl: 
	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Tests for fix for bug #2360.

	* library/package.tcl: Fixed to extract only the first element of
	the list returned by auto_qualify (bug #2360).

	* tests/pkg/magicchar.tcl: 
	* tests/autoMkindex.test: Test for fix for bug #2611.

	* library/auto.tcl: Fixed the regular expression that performs $
	escaping before sourcing a file to index.  It was erroneously
	adding \ escapes even to $'s that were already escaped,
	effectively "un-escaping" those $'s.  (bug #2611).

2000-01-27  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/autoMkindex.test: 
	* library/auto.tcl: Applied patch (with slight modification) from
	bug #2701:  auto_mkIndex uses platform dependent file paths.
	Added test for fix.

2000-01-27  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@scriptics.com>

	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Changed NormalizePath to
	normalizePath and exported it as a public proc.  This proc 
	creates an absolute path given the name of the variable containing
	the path to modify.  The path is modified in place.
	* library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: Added normalizePath.
	* tests/all.tcl: Changed code to use normalizePath.

2000-01-27  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/pkg/samename.tcl: test file for bug #1983
	
	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: 
	* doc/pkgMkIndex.n: 
	* library/package.tcl: Per rfe #4097, optimized creation of direct
	load packages to bypass computing the list of commands added by
	the new package.  Also made direct loading the default, and added
	a -lazy option.
	Fixed bug #1983, dealing with pkg_mkIndex incorrectly handling
	situations with two procs by the same name but in different
	namespaces (ie, foo::baz and bar::baz).

2000-01-26  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclNamesp.c: Undid fix for #956, which broke backwards
	compatibility.

	* doc/variable.n: 
	* doc/trace.n: 
	* doc/namespace.n: 
	* doc/info.n: Added further information about differences between
	"namespace which" and "info exists".

	functions.

2000-01-25  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* unix/tcl.m4: modified EXTRA_CFLAGS to add -DHAVE_TZSET for
	OSF1-V* and ULTRIX-4.* when not using gcc.  Also added higher min
	stack size for OSF1-V* when building with threads. [Bug: 4063]

	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): inlined resultPtr, as it
	conflicted with var creation for HAVE_TZSET #def [Bug: 4063]

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): fixed potential leak
	when calling lsort -command with bad command [Bug: 4067]

	* win/makefile.vc: added some support for building helpfile on Windows

2000-01-23  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* library/init.tcl (auto_execok): added 'start' to list of
	recognized built-in commands for COMSPEC on NT. [Bug: 2858]

	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: moved include of <utime.h> lower since some
	systems (UTS) require sys/types.h to be included first [Bug: 4031]

	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (CreateSocketAddress): changed comparison
	with -1 to 0xFFFFFFFF, to ensure 32 bit comparison even on 64 bit
	systems. [Bug: 3878]

	* generic/tclFileName.c: improved guessing of path separator
	for the Mac. (Darley)

	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tcl.decls: moved Tcl_ProcObjCmd to stubs table [Bug: 3827]
	and removed 'register' from stub definition of
	Tcl_AppendUnicodeToObj [Bug: 4038]

2000-01-21  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* unix/mkLinks: 
	* doc/GetHostName.3: Man page for Tcl_GetHostName (bug #1817).

	* doc/lreplace.n: Corrected man page with respect to treatment of
	empty lists, and "prettied up" the page. (bug #1705).

2000-01-20  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/namespace.test: Added test for undefined variables with
	namespace which (bug #956).

	* generic/tclNamesp.c: Added check for undefined variables in
	NamespaceWhichCmd (bug #956).

	* tests/var.test: Added tests for corrected variable behavior 
	(bug #981).

	* doc/upvar.n: Expanded explanation of upvar behavior with respect to
	variable traces.  (bugs 3917 1433 2110).

	* generic/tclVar.c: Changed behavior of variable command when name
	refers to an element in an array (ie, "variable foo(x)") to always
	return an error, regardless of existance of that element in the
	array (now behavior is consistant with docs too) (bug #981).

2000-01-20  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoBodyCmd): made [info body] return a
	string if the body has been bytecompiled.
	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalObjEx): added pedantic check for
	originating proc body of bytecompiled code, #def'd out as the
	change for [info body] should make it unnecessary

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): added cast for tsdPtr

	* tests/set.test: added test for complex array elem name compiling
	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSetCmd): Fixed parsing of array
	elements during compiling, and slightly optimised same [Bug: 3889]

	* doc/tclvars.n: added definitions for tcl_(non)wordchars

	* doc/vwait.n: added notes about requirement for vwait var being
	globally scoped [Bug: 3329]

	* library/word.tcl: changed tcl_(non)wordchars settings to use
	new unicode regexp char class escapes instead of char sequences

2000-01-14  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/var.test: Added a test for the array multiple delete
	protection in Tcl_UnsetVar2.

	* generic/tclVar.c: Added protection in Tcl_UnsetVar2 against
	attempts to multiply delete arrays when unsetting them (bug
	#3453).  This could happen if there was an unset trace on an array
	element and the trace proc made a global or upvar link to the
	array, and then the array was unset at the global level.  See the
	bug reference for more information.

	* unix/tclUnixTime.c: New clock format format.

	* compat/strftime.c: New clock format format.

	* generic/tclGetDate.y: New clock scan format.

	* generic/regexec.c: added var initialization to prevent compiler
	warning

2000-01-13  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/cmdIL.test: Added tests for lsort -dictionary with
	characters that occur between Z and a in ASCII.

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: Modified DictionaryCompare function (used by
	lsort -dictionary) to do upper/lower case equivalency before doing
	character comparisons, instead of after.  This fixes bug #1357, in
	which lsort -dictionary [list ` AA c CC] and lsort -dictionary
	[list AA c ` CC] gave different (and both wrong) results.

2000-01-12  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/clock.test: Added tests for "next <day-of-week>" and
	"<day-of-week>"
	Added tests for "monday 1 week ago", etc, from RFE #3671.

	* doc/tests/clock.test: Added numerous tests for clock scan.

	* doc/generic/tclGetDate.y: Fixed some shift/reduce conflicts in
	clock grammar.

	* doc/doc/clock.n: Added documentation for new supported clock
	scan formats and additional explanation of daylight savings time
	correction algorithm.

2000-01-12  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* doc/file.n:
	* tests/unixFCmd.test:
	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: added support for symbolic permissions
	setting in SetPermissionsAttribute (file attr $file -perm ...)
	[Bug: 3970]

	compile proc [Bug: 2100]

	* tests/expr.test:
	* unix/Makefile.in:
	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tcl.m4: recognize strtod bug on Tru64 v5.0 [Bug: 3378]
	and added tests to prevent unnecessary chmod +x in sources while
	installing, as well as more intelligent setsockopt/gethostbyname
	checks [Bug: 3366, 3389]

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: added compile time support (through use of
	the TCL_THREAD_STACK_MIN define) for increasing the default stack
	size for a thread. [Bug: 3797, 1966]

2000-01-11  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Added comments for the Convert function.
	Added a fix for daylight savings time handling for relative time
	spans of days, weeks or fortnights. (bug 3441, 3868).

	* generic/tclDate.c: Fixed compiler warning issues.

2000-01-10  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* compat/waitpid.c: use pid_t type instead of int [Bug: 3999]

	* generic/tcl.h: noted need to change win/tcl.m4 and
	tools/tclSplash.bmp for minor version changes

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: trim value for $state(meta) key

	* unix/tclUnixFile.c: fixed signature style on functions

	CCYYMMDD HHMMSS
	CCYYMMDDTHH:MM:SS
	Fixed "clock scan <number>" to scan the number as an hour for the
	current day, rather than a minute after 00:00 for the current day
	(bug #2732).
	

2000-01-07  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclClock.c: Changed switch in Tcl_ClockObjCmd to use
	enumerated values instead of constants. (ie, COMMAND_SCAN instead

	* generic/tclEncoding.c:
	* generic/tclFileName.c:
	* mac/tclMacFile.c:
	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
	* win/tclWinFile.c: enhanced the glob command with the new options
	-types -path -directory and -join.  Deprecated TclpMatchFiles with
	TclpMatchFilesTypes, extended TclGlob and TclDoGlob and added
	GlobTypeData structure. [Bug: 2363]

1999-12-10  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

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

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
	* generic/tclExecute.c: optimized INST_TRY_CVT_TO_NUMERIC to
	recognize boolean objects. (Spjuth) [Bug: 2815]

	* tests/info.test:
	* tests/parseOld.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]

	* generic/tclMain.c: changed Tcl_Main to not constantly reuse the
	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]

1999-12-09  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* win/aclocal.m4: made it just include tcl.m4

	* win/tclWinChan.c:
	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:
	* win/tclWinInit.c:

	* win/tclWinSock.c: removed all code that supported Win32s.  It
	was no longer officially supported, and likely didn't work anyway.
	* win/makefile.vc: removed 16 bit stuff, cleaned up.

	* win/tcl16.rc:
	* win/tclWin16.c:

1999-12-07  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* tests/io.test: removed 'knownBug' tests that were for
	unsupported0, which is now fcopy (that already has tests)

	* mac/tclMacPort.h: added utime.h include

	* generic/tclDate.c:
	* unix/Makefile.in: fixed make gendate to swap const with CONST
	so it uses the Tcl defined CONST type [Bug: 3521]

	* generic/tclIO.c: removed panic that could occur in FlushChannel
	when a "blocking" channel would receive EAGAIN, instead treating
	it the same as non-blocking. [Bug: 3773]

	* generic/tclUtil.c: fixed Tcl_ScanCountedElement to not step
	beyond the end of the counted string [Bug: 3336]

	* 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]

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.

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

1999-10-19  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@scriptics.com>

	* 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
	value of tcl_interactive to also incorporate a check for the
	existence of the variable.

	* win/tclWinSock.c: Added comment block to SocketThread()
	function.  Added code to avoid calling TerminateThread(), but
	instead to send a message to the socket event window to tell it to
	terminate its thread.

1999-07-30  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@scriptics.com>

	* tests/tcltest.test:
	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Exit with non-zero status if

	brackets [Bug: 2382, 2466]
	
1999-07-29    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* win/tclWinChan.c: Allow tcl to open CON and NUL, even for std
	channels.  Checking for bad/unusable std channels was moved to Tk
	since its only purpose was to check whether to use the Tk Console
	Window for the std channels.  [Bug: 2393 2392 2209 2458]

	to ready Tcl/Tk Version 8.2.

1999-07-26    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* tests/tcltest.test:  Need to close the new core file, there
	seems to be a hang in threaded WinNT if the file isn't closed.
	Open issue, need to fix that hang.

	* tests/httpold.test:  Add time delay in response from Http server
	so that test cases can properly detect timeout conditions with
	threads enabled on multi-CPU WinNT.

	* tests/winFCmd.test:  Test case winFcmd-1.33 was looking for
	c:\windows, which may not exist.  Instead, create a new directory
	on c:\ and use it for the test.

	* win/tclWinConsole.c:
	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
	* win/tclWinSock.c:  Fix terminating helper threads by holding any
	mutexes from the primary thread while waiting for the helper
	thread to terminate.  Without these changes, the test suite hangs
	on WinNT with 2 CPUs and threads enabled.  Open issue, seems to be
	a sporadic hang on dual CPU systems still (very rare).

	failures due to path TCL_LIBRARY path.

	* win/tclWinPort.h: Block out include of sys/*.h in order to
	build extensions with MetroWerks compiler for Win32. [Bug: 2385]

	* generic/tclDecls.h:
	* generic/tclUtf.c: Changed function declarations in
	non-platform-specific public APIs to use "unsigned long" instead of
	"size_t", which may not be defined on certain compilers (rather
	than include sys/types.h, which may not exist).
	
	* unix/Makefile.in: Added the Windows configure script to the
	distribution file list, already shipping configure.in and the .m4
	files, but needed the configure script itself.
	
	* win/makefile.vc: Changed version number of DDE package in VC++
	makefile to use 1.1 instead of 1.0.

	* doc/open.n: Added documentation of \\.\comX notation for opening
	serial ports on Windows (alternative to comX:).

	case as well.
	
	* win/tclWinSock.c: Modified 8.1.0 version of the Win32 socket
	driver to move the handling of the socket event window in a
	separate thread.  It also turned out that Win95 & Win98 were, in
	some cases, getting multiple FD_ACCEPTs but only handling one.
	Added a count for the FD_ACCEPT to take care of this.  Tested on
	NT4 SP3, NT4 SP4, Win95, and Win98.

1999-07-20  Melissa Hirschl  <hershey@matisse.scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclInitScript.h: 
	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: merged code with 8.0.5.  We now use an
	intermediate global tcl var "tclDefaultLibrary" to keep the
	"tcl_library" var from being set by the default value in the
	Makefile.  Also fixed a bug in which caused the value of
	TCL_LIBRARY env var to be ignored.
	* unix/tclWinInit.c: just updated some comments.

1999-07-19  Melissa Hirschl  <hershey@matisse.scriptics.com>

	up wording, fixed changebars, made two examples easier to read.

1999-07-11    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* win/makefile.vc: Since the makefile.vc should continue to work
	while we're working out bugs/issues in the new TEA-style
	autoconf/configure/gmake build mechanism for Windows, the version
	numbers of the Tcl libraries need to remain in sync.  Modified the
	version numbers in the makefile to reflect the change to 8.2b1.

1999-07-09    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* win/configure.in: Eval DLLSUFFIX, LIBSUFFIX, and EXESUFFIX in
	the configure script so that substitutions get expanded before
	being placed in the Makefile.  The "d" portion for debug libraries
	and DLLs was not being set properly.
	
1999-07-08    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* win/tclWinSerial.c:  New implementation of serial port driver
	from Rolf Shroedter (Rolf.Schroedter@dlr.de) that allows more than
	one byte to be read from the port.  Implemented using polling
	instead of threads, there is a max. 10ms latency between checking the
	port for file events.  [Bug: 1980 2217]

1999-07-06    <welch@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.0/http.tcl: Fixed the -timeout option so it
	handles timeouts that occur during connection attempts to
	hosts that are down (the only case that really matters!)

	hook points in the notifiers to be able to replace the notifier
	calls at runtime  The Xt notifier and test program use this hook.

1999-07-03    <welch@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclParse.c: Changed parsing of variable names to
	allow empty array names.  Now "$(foo)" is a variable reference!
	Previous you had to use something like $::(foo), which is slower.
	This change is requested by Jean-Luc Fontaine for his STOOOP
	package.

1999-07-01    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:

	match and all.tcl was modified to use the new functionality
	instead of implementing -file itself. 

1999-06-28    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclIndexObj.c:
	* doc/GetIndex.3:
	* tests/binary.test:
	* tests/winDde.test: Applied patch from Peter Hardie (with
	changes) to fix problem with Tcl_GetIndexFromObj() when the key
	being passed is the empty string.  It used to match "" and return
	TCL_OK, but it should have returned TCL_ERROR instead.  Added test
	case to "binary" and "dde" commands to check the behavior.  Added
	documentation note as well.

1999-06-26    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* tests/README:
	* tests/defs.tcl:
	* tests/all.tcl: Modified all test files (tests/*.test) and

	* tests/reg.test: 
	* generic/regex.h: 
	* generic/regc_lex.c: Added REG_BOSONLY flag to allow Expect to

	because of serious problems with the new driver.  Basically no
	incoming socket connections would be reported to a server port.
	The 8.1.1 code needs to be redesigned and fixed correctly.

	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclObj.c:
	* generic/tclUnicodeObj.c: added a new object type to store the
	unicode representation of a string.

	* generic/tclTestObj.c: added the objtype option to the testobj
	command.  This option returns the name of the type of internal rep
	an object has.

1999-06-04    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* win/configure.in: 
	* win/Makefile.in: Windows build now handles static/dynamic
	debug/nodebug builds and supports the standard targets using
	Cygwin user tools plus GNU make and autoconf.

1999-06-03    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): 
	* tests/string.test: Fixed bug where string equal/compare -nocase
	reported wrong result on null strings. [Bug: 2138]

1999-06-02    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UtfNcasecmp): Fixed incorrect computation
	of relative ordering. [Bug: 2135]

1999-06-01    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* unix/configure.in: Fixed various small configure.in patches
	submitted by Jan Nijtmans. [Bug: 2121]

	* generic/tclRegexp.c: 
	* generic/tclRegexp.h: 
	* generic/tclTest.c: Applied Henry Spencer's latest regexp patches
	that fix an infinite loop bug and add support for testing whether
	a string could match with additional input.  [Bug: 2117]

1999-05-28    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclObj.c: Changed to eliminate use of isupper/tolower in
	favor of the Unicode versions.

	* win/Makefile.in:
	* win/configure.in: Added preliminary TEA implementation.

	* win/tclWinDde.c: Fixed bug where dde calls were being passed an
	invalid dde handle because Initialize had not been called.
	[Bug: 2124]

1999-05-26    <redman@scriptic.com>

	* generic/tclThreadTest.c: Fixed race condition in testthread
	code that showed up in the WinNT test suite intermittently.

	* win/tclWinSock.c: Fixed a hang in the WinNT socket driver, wake
	up the socket thread every 100ms to check for events on the
	sockets that did not wake up the thread (race condition).

1999-05-24    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* tools/genStubs.tcl: Changed to allow a list of platforms instead
	of just one at a time.

	lint to try to get the Mac builds working.

1999-05-21    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Fix bug when launching command.com on
	Win95/98.  Need to wait for the procInfo.hProcess of the process that
	was created, not the hProcess of the current process.  [Bug: 2105]

1999-05-20    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* library/init.tcl: Add the directory where the executable is, and
	the ../lib directory relative to that, to the auto_path variable.
	
1999-05-19    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	Merged in various changes submitted by Jeff Hobbs:
	
	* generic/tcl.decls: 
	* generic/tclUtf.c: Added Tcl_UniCharIs* functions for control,
	graph, print, and punct classes.

	* generic/tclUtil.c:
	* doc/StrMatch.3: Added Tcl_StringCaseMatch() implementation to
	support case-insensitive globbing.
	
	* doc/string.n: 
	* unix/mkLinks: 
	* tests/string.test: 
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Added additional character class tests,
	added -nocase switch to "string match", changed string first/last
	to use offsets.

1999-05-19    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tcl.h: Add extern "C" block around entire header file for
	C++ compilers to fix linkage issues.  Submitted by Don Porter and
	Paul Duffin.

	* generic/tclRegexp.c: Fix bug when the regexp cache is empty
	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
	anything other than a console, file, serial port, or pipe, then we
	fall back to the standard Tk window console.

1999-05-14    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ForObjCmd): Fixed crash caused by
	failure to reset the result before evaluating the test
	expression. 

1999-05-14    <surles@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): Added introspection
	variable for threaded interps.  If the interp was compiled with
	threads enabled, the tcl_platform(threaded) variable will exist.

1999-05-14    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclDate.c: Applied patch to fix 100-year and 400-year
	boundaries in leap year code, from Isaac Hollander.  [Bug: 2066]

1999-05-13    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* 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
	reflect the platform differences on Windows.

	* 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.

1999-05-07    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* win/winDumpExts.c: 
	* win/makefile.vc: Removed incorrect patch. [Bug: 1998]
	
	* generic/tcl.decls: Replaced const with CONST.

	* generic/tclResult.c (Tcl_AppendResultVA): 
	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendStringsToObjVA): Fixed to copy
	arglist using memcpy instead of assignment so it works properly on
	OS/390. [Bug: 1997]

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

	* win/winDumpExts.c: 
	* win/makefile.vc: Changed to emit library name in defs
	file. [Bug: 1998]

	* unix/configure.in: Added fix for OS/390. [Bug: 1976]

1999-05-06    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* tests/string.test: 
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: 
	* doc/string.n: Fixed bug in string equal/compare code when using
	-length option.  Cleaned up docs a bit more.

	* tests/http.test: Unset "data" array before running tests to
	avoid failures due to previous tests.

	* doc/string.n: 
	* tests/cmdIL.test: 
	* tests/cmdMZ.test: 
	* tests/error.test: 
	* tests/ioCmd.test: 
	* tests/lindex.test: 
	* tests/linsert.test: 
	* tests/lrange.test: 
	* tests/lreplace.test: 
	* tests/string.test: 
	* tests/cmdIL.test: 
	* 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.

1999-05-05    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* win/makefile.vc: Added encoding directory to install-libraries
	target.

1999-05-03    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* doc/string.n: 
	* tests/cmdMZ.test: 
	* tests/string.test: 
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Changed "string length"
	to avoid regenerating the string rep of a ByteArray object.
	
	* tests/cmdIL.test: 
	* tests/cmdMZ.test: 
	* tests/error.test: 
	* tests/lindex.test:
	* tests/linsert.test: 
	* tests/lrange.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

1999-04-13    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* 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]

	* unix/configure.in: Fixed BSD/OS 4.* configuration to support
	shared libraries properly. [Bug: 1730]
	
1999-04-05    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* win/tclWinDde.c: decrease timeout value for DDE calls to 30k
	[Bug: 1639]

	* generic/tcl.decls:
	* generic/tcl.h:
	* generic/tclDecls.h:
	* 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
	create a safe alias to mask out the "encoding system <name>" but
	allow all other uses including "encoding system". Added test cases
	and updated the man page for Safe Tcl.

1999-04-05    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* tests/winTime.test: 
	* win/tclWinTime.c: Fixed crash in clock command that occurred
	when manipulating negative time values in timezones east of
	GMT. [Bug: 1142, 1458]
	
	* tests/platform.test: 
	* tests/fileName.test: Fixed broken tests.
	
	* generic/tclFileName.c: Moved global regexps into thread local
	storage.

	* tests/socket.test: Changed so tests don't reuse sockets,
	since Windows is slow to release sockets.

	* win/tclWinConsole.c: 
	* win/tclWinPipe.c: 
	* win/tclWinSerial.c: Fixed race condition where background
	threads were terminated while they still held a lock in the
	notifier. 

1999-04-02    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* tests/http.test: Fixed bad test initialization code.

	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (ThreadExitProc): Fixed bug where static
	memory was being returned instead of a dynamically allocated
	result in error cases.

1999-04-02    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* doc/dde.n:
	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
	* win/makefile.vc:
	* win/pkgIndex.tcl:
	* win/tclWinDde.c:  Add new DDE package, code removed from Tk now
	separated into its own package.  Changed DDE-based send code into
	"dde eval" command.  Can be loaded into tclsh (not just wish).
	Windows only.

1999-04-02    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* tests/httpold.test: 
	* tests/if.test: 
	* tests/init.test: 
	* tests/interp.test: 
	* tests/while.test:  Added some tests for known bugs (marked with
	knownBug constraint), and cleaned up a few bad tests.

	* generic/regc_locale.c: 
	* generic/regcustom.h: 
	* generic/tcl.decls: 
	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: 
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:

	* generic/tclScan.c: 
	* generic/tclTest.c:
	* generic/tclUtf.c: 
	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: 
	* win/tclWinFile.c: Made various Unicode utility functions
	public. The following functions were made public and added to the
	stubs table: 
		Tcl_UtfToUniCharDString, Tcl_UniCharToUtfDString,
		Tcl_UniCharLen, Tcl_UniCharNcmp, Tcl_UniCharIsAlnum,
		Tcl_UniCharIsAlpha, Tcl_UniCharIsDigit, Tcl_UniCharIsLower,
		Tcl_UniCharIsSpace, Tcl_UniCharIsUpper, Tcl_UniCharIsWordChar

1999-04-01    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* tests/registry.test: 
	* win/tclWinReg.c: Internationalized the registry code.  It now
	uses Unicode interfaces on NT. [Bug: 1197]

	* tests/parse.test: 
	* generic/tclParse.c: Fixed crash due to multiple frees in parser
	during error cleanup when parsing commands with more tokens than
	will fit in the static area of the parse structure. [Bug: 1681]

	* generic/tclInt.h: Removed duplicate declarations.

	* generic/tclInt.decls: 
	* generic/tcl.decls: Added Tcl_WinUtfToTChar and Tcl_WinTCharToUtf
	to the tclPlat table.

	* win/makefile.vc: Applied patch from Jan Nijtmans to fix Ultrix
	multiple symbol definition problem.  Now, even Tcl includes a copy
	of the Tcl stub library.  Also fixed TCL_MEM_DEBUG mode (for Tk).

1999-03-31    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* win/tclWinConsole.c: WinNT has a bug when reading a single
	character from the console.  Rewrote the code for the console to
	read an entire line at a time using the reader thread.

1999-03-30    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* unix/Makefile.in: Removed trailing backslash that broke the
	"depend" target.

	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): Changed to avoid
	calling setlocale().  We now look directly at env(LANG) and
	env(LC_CTYPE) instead. [Bug: 1636]

	* generic/tclFileName.c: 
	* generic/tclDecls.h: 
	* generic/tcl.decls: Removed CONST from Tcl_JoinPath and
	Tcl_TranslateFileName because it changes the signature of
	Tcl_JoinPath in an incompatible manner.

	* generic/tclInt.h: 
	* generic/tclLoad.c (TclFinalizeLoad): 
	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Defer unloading of loadable
	modules until all exit handlers have been invoked.
	[Bug: 998, 1273, 1573, 1593]

1999-03-29    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclFileName.c: 
	* generic/tclDecls.h:

	changed the stub macros to just use the name without params. Pass
	&tclStubs into the interp (don't use tclStubsPtr because of
	collisions with the stubs on Solaris).
	
1999-03-27    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* win/makefile.bc: Removed makefile for Borland compiler, no
	longer supported.

1999-03-26    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* win/tclWinSerial.c:
	* win/tclWinConsole.c:
	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Don't close the Win32 handle for a channel if

	to prevent it from destroying the stdio of other threads.

1999-03-26    <suresh@scriptics.com>

	* unix/configure.in
	--nameble-shared is now the default and build Tcl as a shared
	library; specify --disable-shared to build a static Tcl library
	and shell.

1999-03-25    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* tests/interp.test: 
	* generic/tclInterp.c (AliasObjCmd): Changed so aliases are
	invoked at current scope in the target interpreter instead of at
	the global scope.  This was an incompatibility introduced in 8.1
	that is being removed. [Bug: 1153, 1556]
	
	* library/encoding/big5.enc:
	* library/encoding/gb2312.enc:
	* tools/encoding/big5.enc:

	encodings. [Bug: 632]
	
	* generic/tclPkg.c (Tcl_PkgRequireEx): Fixed broken clientData
	initialization in package code.

	* unix/Makefile.in (dist): Added tcl.decls and tclInt.decls to
	source distribution. [Bug: 1571]

	* doc/Thread.3: Updated documentation of Tcl_MutexLock to indicate
	that the recursive locking behavior is undefined.  On Windows, it
	does not block, on Unix it deadlocks. [Bug: 1275]

1999-03-24    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* tests/execute.test: 
	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Fixed expression code
	that incorrectly returned floating point values for integers if
	the internal rep happened to be a double.  Now we check to see if
	the object has a string rep that looks like an integer before
	using the double internal rep. [Bug: 1516]

	* generic/tclAlloc.c:
	* generic/tclEncoding.c:
	* generic/tclProc.c:
	* unix/tclUnixTime.c:
	* win/tclWinSerial.c: Fixed compilation warnings/errors for VC++
	5.0 and 6.0 and HP-UX native compiler without -Aa or -Ae. 
	[Bug: 1323 1518 1324 1583 1585 1586]

	* win/tclWinSock.c: Make sockets thread-safe on Windows. The
	current implementation uses windows to handle events on the
	socket, one for each thread (thread local storage). Previously,
	there was only one window shared between threads, which didn't
	work. [Bug: 1326]

1999-03-23    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* tools/tcl.wse: Fixed file association to look in the right place
	for the wish icon. [Bug: 1544]

	* tests/winNotify.test:

	* mac/tclMacNotify.c: 
	* win/tclWinNotify.c: 
	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
	* generic/tclNotify.c: Added a new Tcl_ServiceModeHook interface
	that is invoked whenever the service mode changes.  This is needed
	to allow the Windows notifier to create a communication window the
	first time Tcl is about to enter an external modal event loop
	instead of at startup time.  This will avoid the various problems
	that people have been seeing where the system hangs when tclsh
	is running outside of the event loop. [Bug: 783]

	* generic/tclInt.h: 
	* generic/tcl.decls: Renamed TclpAlertNotifier back to
	Tcl_AlertNotifier since it is part of the public notifier driver
	API.

1999-03-23    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* win/tclWinSerial.c: Fixed problem with fileevent on the serial
	port and nonblocking mode.  Gets no longer hangs, fileevents fire
	whenever there is any character data on the port.
	
	* 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.

1999-03-22    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* tests/reg.test: 
	* generic/regc_color.c: Applied regexp bug fix from Henry Spencer.

1999-03-19    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: Fixed the initialization of an array so that
 	the Sun 5.0 C compiler wouldn't complain.

	* unix/configure.in: Added support for --enable-64bit.  For now,
 	this is only supported on Solaris 7 64bit (SunOS 5.7) using the Sun 
	compiler (not gcc).
	
1999-03-18    <stanton@scriptics.com>

	* win/tclWinChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel, Tcl_MakeFileChannel):
	Changed to only test for console or comm handles when the type is
	FILE_TYPE_CHAR to avoid useless tests on simple files.  Also
	reordered tests so consoles are tested first as this is more
	common.

	* win/makefile.vc: Regularized usage of mkd and rmd and rm.

	* library/encoding/shiftjis.enc: 
	* tools/encoding/shiftjis.txt: Missing/incorrect characters in
	shift-jis table. [Bug: 1008, 1526]

	* generic/tclInt.decls:
	* generic/tcl.decls: Eliminated use of "string" and "list" from
	argument lists to avoid conflicts with C++ STL. [Bug: 1181]

	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchFiles): Changed to ignore the
	FS_CASE_IS_PRESERVED bit and always return exactly what we get
	from the system.

	* win/tclWinConsole.c: 
	* win/tclWinPipe.c: 
	* win/tclWinSerial.c: Changed so channel drivers wait for the
	reader/writer threads to exit before returning during a close
	operation.  This ensures that the main thread is the last thread
	to exit, so the process return value is set properly.

	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:

	declarations for better portability.

	* generic/tcl.decls: Renamed panic and panicVA to Tcl_Panic and
	Tcl_PanicVA in the stub files.

	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_MakeSafe): Remove tcl_platform(user)
	from safe interps.

1999-03-11    <stanton@GASPODE>

	* unix/configure.in: Include compat files in the stub library in
	addition to the main library.  Compat files are now built for
	dynamic use in all cases.

	Chaffee. 

	* mac/tclMacPort.h: 
	* win/tclWinInit.c: 
	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: 
	* generic/tclAsync.c: Added TclpAsyncMark to fix bug in async

	loop.  This patch comes from Gordon Chaffee.

	* generic/tcl.decls: Fixed declarations of reserved slots.
	
1999-03-10    <redman@scriptic.com>

	* generic/tclCompile.h: Ensure that the ByteCode struct is binary
	compatible with the version in 8.0.6.

	* generic/tcl.h:
	* generic/tclBasic.c: Add Tcl_GetVersion() function to the public
	C API to allow programs to check the version number of the Tcl
	library at runtime.  Also added an enum to clarify the release
	level (alpha, beta, final).

1999-03-09    <stanton@GASPODE>

	* Integrated changes from Tcl 8.0 including:

	* win/makefile.vc:  
	* win/tclWinPort.h: Added Tcl stubs implementation.  There are
	now two new macros USE_TCL_STUBS and USE_TCL_STUB_PROCS that
	enable use of stubs and disable stub macros respectively.  All of
	the public and private function declarations from tcl.h and
	tclInt.h have moved into the *.decls files and the *Stubs.c and
	*Decls.h files are generated using the genStubs.tcl script.

	* unix/Makefile.in:
	* unix/configure.in: 
	* unix/ldAix: Enhanced AIX shared library support.

	* win/tclWinSock.c: Removed a bunch of extraneous PASCAL FAR
	attributes from internal functions.

	* win/tclWinReg.c: Changed registry package to use stubs mechanism
	so it no longer depends on the specific version of Tcl.

	* doc/AddErrInfo.3:

	functions so they can be invoked from the stub functions.

	* doc/package.n: 
	* doc/PkgRequire.3: 
	* generic/tclPkg.c: Added Tcl_PkgProvideEx, Tcl_RequireEx,
	Tcl_PresentEx, and Tcl_PkgPresent.  Added "package present"
	command.

	* generic/tclFileName.c: 
	* mac/tclMacFile.c: 
	* mac/tclMacShLib.exp: 
	* unix/tclUnixFile.c: 
	* win/tclWinFile.c: Changed so TclGetUserHome is defined on
	all platforms, even though it is currently a noop on mac and
	windows, and renamed it to TclpGetUserHome.

	* generic/tclPanic.c:
	* generic/panic.c: Renamed panic to Tcl_Panic.
	
1999-02-25    <redman@scriptics.com>

	* win/makefile.vc: Added tclWinConsole.c and tclWinSerial.c
	
	* win/tclWinConsole.c: New code to properly deal with fileevents
	and nonblocking mode on consoles.
	
	* win/tclWinSerial.c: New code to properly deal with fileevents
	and nonblocking mode on serial ports.

	* win/tclWinPipe.c: 
	* win/tclWinPort.h: Exported functions to allow creation of pipe
	channels from tclWinChan.c

	* win/tclWinChan.c: Check the type of a channel, including for the
	standard (stdin/stdout/stderr), and use the correct channel type
	to create the channel (file, serial, console, or pipe).

	* README: 
	* generic/tcl.h: 
	* win/README.binary: 
	* win/README: 
	* unix/configure.in: 
	* mac/README: Updated version numbers to 8.1b2.

1999-02-10    <stanton@GASPODE>

	* library/auto.tcl: Fixed auto_mkindex so it handles .tbc files.
	Did some general cleanup to handle bad eval statements that didn't
	use "list".

	* unix/mkLinks:
	* doc/SetVar.3:
	* generic/tcl.h:
	* generic/tclVar.c: Restored Tcl_ObjGetVar2 and Tcl_ObjSetVar2
	from 8.0. Renamed Tcl_Get/SetObjVar2 to Tcl_GetVar2Ex and
	Tcl_SetVar2Ex.

1999-02-10    <stanton@GASPODE>

	INTEGRATED PATCHES FROM 8.0.5b2: 

	* 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/tclProc.c:
	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
	* generic/tclInt.h: 
	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: 
	* generic/tclBasic.c: 
	* generic/tclVar.c: Applied patch from Viktor Dukhovni to
	rationalize TCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG behavior when creating variables.
	
	* generic/tclVar.c: Fixed bug in namespace tail computation.
	Fixed bug where upvar could resurrect a namespace variable whose
	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]

	* win/tclWinReg.c: 
	* doc/registry.n: Added support for HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA and
	HKEY_DYN_DATA keys. [Bug: 1109]

	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclPlatformInit): Added code to ensure
	tcl_pkgPath is set to "" when no registry entry is found. [Bug: 978]

1999-02-01    <stanton@GASPODE>

	* generic/tclParse.c:
	* generic/tclProc.c:
	* generic/tclTest.c:
	* generic/tclTimer.c:
	* generic/tcl.h: Made eval interfaces compatible with 8.0 by
	renaming Tcl_EvalObj to Tcl_EvalObjEx, renaming Tcl_Eval2 to
	Tcl_EvalEx and restoring Tcl_EvalObj and Tcl_GlobalEvalObj
	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
	all locale strings are converted to lower case, including file
	names.

	* generic/regcomp.c (makescan): Fixed bug in longest match case
	that caused anchored patterns to fail. [Bug: 897]

1998-12-08    <stanton@GASPODE>

	where big blocks that were reallocated into a different heap
	location were not being placed into the bigBlocks list. [Bug: 933]

	* tests/msgcat.test: Added message catalog test suite.

	* 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]

	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>

	* Merged changes from 8.0.4, especially the new pkg_mkIndex

1998-12-01    <stanton@GASPODE>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ReadChars): Added a call to UpdateInterest
	so we don't block when there is data sitting in the buffers.

	* generic/tclTest.c (TestevalobjvObjCmd): Updated for EvalObjv
	change.

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

	* generic/tclParse.c (EvalObjv, Tcl_EvalObjv): Changed
	Tcl_EvalObjv interface to remove string and length arguments,
	preserved original interface as EvalObjv for internal use.

	* generic/tcl.h: Changed Tcl_EvalObjv interface to remove string
	and length arguments.

	* doc/Eval.3: Updated documentation for Tcl_EvalObjv to remove
	string and length arguments.

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileForeachCmd): Fixed code that
	corrupted the exceptDepth value in the compile environment when
	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,
	NotifierThreadProc, Tcl_InitNotifier): Fixed race condition caused
	by incorrect use of condition variables when sending messages
	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
	getting lost before being passed to CallTraces.

	* tclUtf.c: added Unicode character table support

	* tclInt.h: added TclUniCharIsWordChar

	* tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): added "totitle" subcommand,
	changed "wordend" and "wordstart" to properly handle Unicode word
	characters and connector punctuation

1998-10-05    <stanton@GASPODE>

	* 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

	* tclExecute.c: fixed off-by-one copying error, fixed merge bugs

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

	* tclCompCmds.c: replaced SCCS strings, added warnings around code
	that modifies strings in place

	* interp.test: added test for interp deleting itself

1998-09-30    <stanton@GASPODE>

	* makefile.vc: fixed so TCL_LIBRARY is set before running tcltest

	* tclWin32Dll.c: removed TclpFinalize, cleanup of merges
