2003-12-14  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): TIP#75 Implementation
	* tests/switch.test:	Can now get submatch information when
	* doc/switch.n:		using -regexp matching in [switch].

2003-12-14  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclPathObj.c: complete rewrite of generic file 
	normalization code to cope with links followed by '..'.
	[Bug 849514], and parts of [859251]

2003-12-12  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/tclWinChan.c: Win32's SetFilePointer() takes LONGs not
	DWORDs (a signed/unsigned mismatch).  Redid local vars to
	avoid all casting except where truly required.

2003-12-12  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: fix to normalization of non-existent user
	name ('file normalize ~nobody') [Bug 858937]
	* doc/file.n: clarify behaviour of 'file link' when the target
	is not an absolute path.
	* doc/filename.n: correct documentation to say that Windows Tcl 
	does handle '~user', for recent Windows releases, and clarified
	distinction between MacOS 'classic' and MacOS X.
	* doc/glob.n: clarification of glob's behaviour when returning
	filenames starting with a '~'.
	
	* tests/fileSystem.test:
	* tests/fileName.test: new tests added for the normalization
	problem above and other recentlt reported issues.

	* win/tclWinFile.c: corrected unclear comments
	
	* unix/tclUnixFile.c: allow creation of relative links
	[Bug 833713]

2003-12-11  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/tclWinSock.c (SocketThreadExitHandler) : added a
	TerminateThread fallback just in case the socket handler thread
	is really in a paused state.  This can happen when Tcl is being
	unloaded by the OS from an exception handler.  See MSDN docs on
	DllMain, it states this behavior.

2003-12-09  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* unix/configure:
	* unix/tcl.m4: updated OpenBSD build configuration based on
	[Patch #775246] (cassoff)

2003-12-09  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:	#ifdef'd out declarations of errno which
	* tools/man2tcl.c:	are known to cause problems with recent
				glibc. [Bug 852369]

2003-12-09  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinFile.c: fix to NT file permissions code [Bug 855923]
	* tests/winFile.test: added tests for NT file permissions - patch
	and test scripts supplied by Benny.
	
	* tests/winFCmd.test: fixed one test for when not running in C:/
	
2003-12-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclBinary.c (DeleteScanNumberCache, ScanNumber): Made
	the numeric scan-value cache have proper references to the objects
	within it so strange patterns of writes won't cause references to
	freed objects. [Bug 851747]

2003-12-01  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* doc/lset.n: fix typo [Bug 852224]

2003-11-24  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclParse.c:	Corrected faulty check for trailing white
	space in {expand} parsing.  Thanks Andreas Leitgeb.  [Bug 848262].
	* tests/parse.test: 	New tests for the bug.

2003-11-24  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	on [cd] (Windows only bug), for which new tests have just been 
	added.
	
2003-11-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/winFCmd.test (winFCmd-16.10,11): Merged new tests from
	core-8-4-branch.

2003-11-20  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclVar.c: fix flag bit collision between
	LOOKUP_FOR_UPVAR and TCL_PARSE_PART1 (deprecated) [Bug 835020] 
	
2003-11-19  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/compile.test (compile-16.22.0):	Improved test for the
	recent fix for Bug 845412.

2003-11-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): Added a guard for the
	expansion code so that long non-expanding commands don't get
	expansion infrastructure inserted in them, especially when that
	infrastructure isn't initialised.  [Bug 845412]

2003-11-18  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* contrib/djgpp/Makefile:		Changes from Victor Wagner
	* contrib/djgpp/langinfo.c (new):	<vitus@45.free.net> for better
	* contrib/djgpp/langinfo.h (new):	DJGPP support.
	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:			.
	* unix/tclUnixChan.c:			.
	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:			.

2003-11-17  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/reg.test:  Added tests for [Bugs 230589, 504785, 505048, 840258]
	recently fixed by 2003-11-15 commit to regcomp.c by Pavel Goran.
	His notes on the fix: This bug results from an error in code that
	splits states into "progress" and "no-progress" ones. This error
	causes an interesting situation with the pre-collected single-linked
	list of states to be splitted: many items were added to the list, but 
	only several of them are accessible from the list beginning, 
	since the "tmp" member of struct state (which is used here to
	hold a pointer to the next list item) gets overwritten, which 
	results in a "looped" chain. As a result, not all of states are
	splitted, and one state is splitted two times, causing incorrect
	"no-progress" flag values.

2003-11-16  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Make sure that
	Tcl_AsyncInvoke is called regularly when processing bytecodes.
	* generic/tclTest.c (AsyncThreadProc, TestasyncCmd): Extended
	testing harness to send an asynchronous marking without relying on
	UNIX signals.
	* tests/async.test (async-4.*): Tests to check that async events
	are handled by the bytecode core. [Bug 746722]

2003-11-15  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclTest.c (TestHashSystemHashCmd): Removed 'const'
	modifier from hash type structure; it should be const and the hash
	code assumes it behaves like const, but that's not how the API is
	defined. Like this, we are following in the same footsteps as
	Tcl_RegisterObjType() which has the same conditions on its
	argument. Stops VC++5.2 warning.  [Bug 842511]

2003-11-14  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclHash.c (Tcl_DeleteHashTable,Tcl_HashStats,RebuildTable): 
	* generic/tclTest.c (TestHashSystemHashCmd): TIP#138 implementation, 
	* tests/misc.test:	plus a new chunk of stuff to test the hash
				functions more thoroughly in the test
				suite. [Patch 731356, modified] 

	* doc/Tcl.n: Updated Tcl version number and changebars.

2003-11-14  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/ParseCmd.3:	Implementation of TIP 157.  Adds recognition
	* doc/Tcl.n:		of the new leading {expand} syntax on words.
	* generic/tcl.h:	Parses such words as the new Tcl_Token type
	* generic/tclBasic.c:	TCL_TOKEN_EXPAND_WORD.  Updated Tcl_EvalEx
	* generic/tclCompile.c: and the bytecode compiler/execution engine
	* generic/tclCompile.h:	to recognize the new token type.  New opcodes
	* generic/tclExecute.c:	INST_LIST_VERIFY and INST_INVOKE_EXP and a new
	* generic/tclParse.c:	operand type OPERAND_ULIST1 are defined.  Docs
	* generic/tclTest.c:	and tests are included.
	* tests/basic.test:
	* tests/compile.test:
	* tests/parse.test:

	* library/auto.tcl:	Replaced several [eval]s used to perform
	* library/package.tcl:	argument expansion with the new syntax.
	* library/safe.tcl:	In the test files lindex.test and lset.test,
	* tests/cmdInfo.test:	replaced use of [eval] to force direct
	* tests/encoding.test:	string evaluation with use of [testevalex]
	* tests/execute.test:	which more directly and robustly serves the
	* tests/fCmd.test:	same purpose.
	* tests/http.test:
	* tests/init.test:
	* tests/interp.test:
	* tests/io.test:
	* tests/ioUtil.test:
	* tests/iogt.test:
	* tests/lindex.test:
	* tests/lset.test:
	* tests/namespace-old.test:
	* tests/namespace.test:
	* tests/pkg.test:
	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test:
	* tests/proc.test:
	* tests/reg.test:
	* tests/trace.test:
	* tests/upvar.test:
	* tests/winConsole.test:
	* tests/winFCmd.test:

2003-11-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-1.4): change to nonPortable as more
	systems are using permissions caching, and this isn't really a Tcl
	controlled issue.

2003-11-11  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* unix/configure:
	* unix/tcl.m4: improve AIX --enable-64bit handling
	remove -D__NO_STRING_INLINES -D__NO_MATH_INLINES from
	CFLAGS_OPTIMIZE on Linux.  Make default opt -O2 (was -O).

2003-11-11  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* contrib/djgpp/Makefile:  Suggested changes from vitus@45.free.net
	(Victor Wagner)

	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:  added socklen_t typedef for DJGPP

2003-11-10  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):     
        * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):       Fix for [Bug 832657]
        that should not run afoul of startup constraints.

        * library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:     Added safeguards so that registry
        * library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl:     and dde packages are not offered
        * win/tclWinDde.c:      on non-Windows platforms.  Bumped to
        * win/tclWinReg.c:      registry 1.1.3 and dde 1.3.
	* win/Makefile.in:
	* win/configure.in:
	* win/makefile.bc:
	* win/makefile.vc:

	* win/configure:	autoconf (2.57)

2003-11-10  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* tests/cmdIL.test: Stopped cmdIL-5.5 from stomping over the test
	command, and updated the tests to use some tcltest2 features in
	relation to cleanup. [Bug 838384]

2003-11-10  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:
	* tests/fCmd.test: fix to misleading error message in 'file link'
	[Bug 836208]
	
2003-11-07  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to compiler warning/error with
	some compilers [Bug 835918]
	
2003-11-07  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Makefile: optimized builds define NDEBUG to turn off
	ThreadAlloc range checking.

2003-11-05  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.10):  New test to expose [Bug 832657]
	failure of TclpInitLibraryPath() to properly handle .. in the path
	of the executable.

2003-11-04  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Makefile: added 'test' target.

2003-11-03  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c
	* generic/tclInt.h: added comments and re-arranged code to
	clarify distinction between Tcl_LoadHandle, ClientData for
	'load'ed code, and point out limitations of the design 
	introduced with Tcl 8.4.
	
	* unix/tclUnixFile.c: fix to memory leak
	
	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: removed warning on Windows.
	
2003-11-01  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LrepeatObjCmd): Check for sensible list
	lengths and allow for soft failure of the memory subsystem in the
	[lconcat] command [Bug 829027].  Uses direct list creation to
	avoid extra copies when working near the limit of available
	memory.  Also reorganized to encourage optimizing compilers to
	optimize heavily.
	* generic/tclListObj.c (TclNewListObjDirect): New list constructor
	that does not copy the array of objects. Useful for creating
	potentially very large lists or where you are about to throw away
	the array argument which is being used in its entirety.

2003-10-28  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (NEXT_INST macros): replaced macro variable
	"result" by "resultHandling" to avoid confusion.

2003-10-23  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel): Applied [Patch 813606]
	  fixing [Bug 813087]. Detection of sockets was off for Mac OS X
	  which implements pipes as local sockets. The new code ensures
	  that only IP sockets are detected as such.

	* win/tclWinSock.c (TcpWatchProc): Watch for FD_CLOSE too when
	  asked for writable events by the generic layer.
	  (SocketEventProc): Generate a writable event too when a close is
	  detected.

	  Together the changes fix [Bug 599468].

2003-10-23  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/resource.test:
	* mac/tclMacResource.c: fix to resource freeing problem in 'resource'
	command reported by Bernard Desgraupes.
	
	* doc/FileSystem.3: updated documentation for 'glob' fix on 2003-10-13
	below

2003-10-22  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FileObjCmd): Changed FILE_ prefix to FCMD_
	to stop symbol/#def clashes on Cygwin/Mingw32 on NT. [Bug 822528]

2003-10-21   Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: fixed incorrect html generated for
	.IP/.TP lists, now use <DL><DT>...<DD>...<P><DT>...<DD>...</DL>
	instead of illegal  <DL><P><DT>...<DD>...<P><DT>...<DD>...</DL>.
	Added skipping of directives directly after .TP to avoid them
	being used as item descriptions, e.g. .TP\n.VS in clock.n.

2003-10-21  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@pliers.activestate.com>

	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Applied the patch coming
	  with [Bug 805605] to the code, fixing the incorrect use of
	  ispace noted by Ronald Dauster <ronaldd@users.sourceforge.net>.

2003-10-20  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/msgcat.n:
	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl (mclocale,mcload):
	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
	* unix/Makefile.in:     Implementation of TIP#156
	* win/makefile.bc:      adding a "root locale" to
	* win/Makefile.in:      the 'msgcat' package. Advanced
	* win/Makefile.vc:      msgcat version number to 1.4.
	
2003-10-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (SortInfo,etc): Reorganized so that SortInfo
	carries an array of integer indices instead of a Tcl list.  This
	nips shimmering problems in the bud and simplifies SelectObjFromSublist
	at the cost of making setup slightly more complex. [Bug 823768]

2003-10-14  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/tclAppInit.c (sigHandler): Punt gracefully if exitToken
	has already been destroyed.

2003-10-14  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
	* tests/regexp.test: fix to [Bug 823524] in regsub; added three
	new tests.

2003-10-14  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclAppendObjToErrorInfo):	New internal routine
	that appends a Tcl_Obj to the errorInfo, saving the caller the trouble
	of extracting the string rep.

	* generic/tclStringObj.c (TclAppendLimitedToObj):	New internal
	routine that supports truncated appends with optional ellipsis marking.
	This single routine supports UTF-8-safe truncated appends needed in
	several places throughout the Tcl source code, mostly for error and
	stack messages.  Clean fix for [Bug 760872].

	* generic/tclInt.h:	Declarations for new internal routines.
	
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	Updated callers to use the new routines.
	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:
	* generic/tclCompile.c:
	* generic/tclExecute.c:
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
	* generic/tclObj.c:
	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:
	* generic/tclProc.c:
	* generic/tclStringObj.c:
	* mac/tclMacResource.c:

	* library/init.tcl:	Updated ::errorInfo cleanup in [unknown] to
	reflect slight modifications to Tcl_LogCommandInfo().  Corrects
	failing init-4.* tests.

2003-10-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	TIP#127 IMPLEMENTATION FROM JOE MICHAEL SCHLENKER

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (SelectObjFromSublist): Element selection engine.
	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd, Tcl_LsortObjCmd): 
	* tests/lsearch.test:	Set up and use of element selection engine,
	* tests/cmdIL.test:	plus tests and documentation.
	* doc/lsearch.n:	Based on [Patch 693836]
	* doc/lsort.n: 

2003-10-13  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tcl.h: 
	* generic/tclFileName.c:
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
	* generic/tclPathObj.c:
	* generic/tclTest.c:
	* mac/tclMacFile.c:
	* tests/fileName.test: better tests for [Bug 813273]
	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:
	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:
	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:
	* win/tclWinFile.c:
	* win/tclFileInt.h: 

	Fixed [Bug 800106] in which 'glob' was incapable of merging the
	results of a directory listing (real or virtual) and any virtual
	filesystem mountpoints in that directory (the latter were
	ignored).  This meant boundaries between different filesystems
	were not seamless (e.g. 'glob */*' across a filesystem boundary
	was wrong).  Added new entry to Tcl_GlobTypeData in a totally
	backwards compatible way.  To allow listing of mounts, registered
	filesystems must support the 'TCL_GLOB_TYPE_MOUNT' flag.  If this
	is not supported (e.g. in tclvfs 1.2) then mounts will simply not
	be listed for that filesystem.
	
	Fixed [Bug 749876] 'file writable/readable/etc' (NativeAccess)
	using correct permission checking code for Windows NT/2000/XP
	where more complex user-based security/access priveleges are
	available, particularly on shared volumes.  The performance
	impact of this extra checking will need further investigation.
	Note: Win 95,98,ME have no support for this.

	Also made better use of normalized rather than translated paths 
	in the platform specific code.

2003-10-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* unix/tclUnixTest.c (TestalarmCmd): don't bother checking return
	value of alarm. [Bug #664755] (english)

2003-10-09  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/makefile.vc:  Applied patches for bug #801467 by Joe Mistachkin
	* win/tclAppInit.c: to fix incompatible TCL_MEM_DEBUG handling in
	* generic/tclObj.c: Win32 VC builds.

2003-10-08  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Save and restore the iPtr->flag bits that
	control the state of errorCode and errorInfo management when calling
	"leave" execution traces, so that all error information of the traced
	command is still available whether traced or not.  [Bug 760947]
	Thanks to Yahalom Emet.

2003-10-08  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclTest.c (TestNumUtfCharsCmd): Command to allow finer
	access to Tcl_NumUtfChars for testing.
	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_NumUtfChars): Corrected string length
	determining when the length parameter is negative; the terminator
	is a zero byte, not (necessarily) a \u0000 character. [Bug 769812]

2003-10-07  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/cmdAH.test:
	* tests/exec.test:		Corrected temporary file management

	* tests/fCmd.test:	Run tests with the [temporaryDirectory] as
	the current directory, so that tests can depend on ability to write
	files.	[Bug 575837]

	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3:	Updated Tcl_Tell and Tcl_Seek documentation
	to reflect that they now return Tcl_WideInt (TIP 72) [Bug 787537]

	* tests/io.test:	Corrected several tests that failed when paths
	* tests/ioCmd.test:	included regexp-special chars. [Bug 775394]

2003-10-06  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/configure:
	* win/tcl.m4: removed incorrect checks for existence of
	optimization.  TCL_CFG_OPTIMIZED is now defined whenever the user
	does not build with --enable-symbols.

2003-10-06  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/regexp.test:		Matched [makeFile] with [removeFile].
	* tests/regexpComp.test:	[Bug 675652]

	* tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-8.2):	Test only that tilde-substitution
	happens, not for any particular result. [Bug 685991]

	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_TCLCONFIG):	Corrected search path so
	that alpha and beta releases of Tcl are not favored. [Bug 608698]

	* tests/notify.test:
	* tests/parseExpr.test:
	* tests/unixNotfy.test:
	* tests/winDde.test:

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC):
	* tests/execute.test (execute-8.2): fix for [Bug 816641] - faulty
	execution and catch stack management.

2003-10-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Fixed error in ref count management of command
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	and execution traces that caused access to
	freed memory in trace-32.1.  [Bug 811483].

2003-10-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclTrace.c: Corrected comingling of introspection results of
	[trace info command] and [trace info execution].  [Bug 807243]
	Thanks to Mark Saye.

2003-10-01  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Makefile: fixed redo prebinding bug when DESTDIR="".
	* mac/tclMacResource.c: fixed possible NULL dereference (bdesgraupes).

2003-09-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclPathObj.c:
	* tests/fileName.test: fix to inconsistent handling of backslash
	path separators on Windows in 'file join' [Bug 813273]

2003-09-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclPathObj.c (TclNativePathInFilesystem,TclFSGetPathType): 
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclNativeDupInternalRep,TclGetPathType): Rename
	to make sure function names won't interfere with other non-Tcl
	code (reported by George Staplin)

	TIP#121 IMPLEMENTATION FROM JOE MISTACHKIN

	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_SetExitProc,Tcl_Exit): Implementation of
	application exit handler scheme.
	* generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_SetExitProc): Public declaration.
	* doc/Exit.3: Documentation of new API function.

	TIP#112 IMPLEMENTATION

	* generic/tclNamesp.c: Core of implementation.
	* generic/tclInt.h (Namespace,TclInvalidateNsCmdLookup): Add
	command list epoch counter and list of ensembles to namespace
	structure, and define a macro to ease update of the epoch
	counter.
	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateObjCommand,etc.): Update epoch
	counter when list of commands in a namespace changes.
	* generic/tclObj.c (TclInitObjSubsystem): Register ensemble
	subcommand type.
	* tests/namespace.test (42.1-47.6): Tests.
	* doc/namespace.n: Documentation.

	* library/http/http.tcl (geturl): Correctly check the type of
	boolean-valued options. [Bug 811170]

	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_FRAMEWORK): Added note to make it clearer
	that this is an OSX feature, not a general Unix feature. [Bug 619440]

2003-09-28  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/tclWinPipe.c: The windows port of expect can call
	TclWinAddProcess before any of the other pipe functions.
	Added a missing PipeInit() call to make sure the
	initialization happens.

2003-09-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Makefile: ensure SYMROOT exists if OBJROOT is overridden 
	on command line. Replaced explict use of /usr/bin by ${BINDIR}.

2003-09-24  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/package.tcl (tcl::MacPkgUnknown, tcl::MacOSXPkgUnknown):  
	Minor performance tweaks to reduce the number of [file] invocations.  
	Meant to improve startup times, at least a little bit.  
	(The generic equivalent patch was applied on 2003-02-21).

2003-09-24  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* trace.test: removed 'knownBug' from a test which doesn't
	illustrate a bug, just a bad test.

2003-09-23  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c:
	* generic/tclInt.h: changed the evaluation-stack addressing mode,
	from array-style to pointer-style; the catch stack and evaluation
	stack are now contiguous in memory. [Patch 457449]

2003-09-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/trace.test (trace-31,32-*):  Added tests for [Bug 807243]
	and [Bug 811483].

	* library/init.tcl (auto_load, auto_import):  Expanded Eric Melski's
	2000-01-28 fix for [Bug 218871] to all potentially troubled uses of
	[info commands] on input data, where glob-special characters could
	cause problems.

2003-09-20  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tests/expr.test (expr-23.4): Prevented accidental wrapping round
	of exponential operation; it isn't portable, and not what I
	intended to test either. [Bug 808244]

2003-09-19  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c: adding (DE)CACHE_STACK_INFO() pairs to
	protect all calls that may cause traces on ::errorInfo or
	::errorCode to corrupt the stack [Bug 804681]

2003-09-17  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tclPathObj.c: fix to test-suite problem introduced by the bug 
	fix below.  No problem in ordinary code, just test suite code
	which manually adjusts tclPlatform. [Bug 808247]

2003-09-16  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/filename.n: documentation of Windows-specific feature as
        discussed in [Bug 541989]
	* generic/tclPathObj.c: fix for normalization of volume-relative
        paths [Bug 767834]
        * tests/winFCmd.test: new tests for both of the above. 
	* tests/cmdAH.test: fix for AFS problem in test suite [Bug 748960]

2003-09-13  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	TIP#123 IMPLEMENTATION BASED ON WORK BY ARJEN MARKUS

	* generic/tclCompile.h (INST_EXPON):		Implementation of
	* generic/tclCompile.c (tclInstructionTable):	exponential operator.
	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (operatorTable): 
	* generic/tclParseExpr.c (ParseExponentialExpr, GetLexeme): 
	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode, ExponWide, ExponLong): 
	(IllegalExprOperandType): 
	* tests/expr.test: 
	* tests/compExpr-old.test: 
	* doc/expr.n: 

2003-09-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/opt/optparse.tcl:	Latest revisions caused [OptGuessType]
	to guess "int" instead of "string" for empty strings.  Missed the
	required "-strict" option to [string is].  Thanks to Revar Desmera.
	[Bug 803968]

2003-09-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/tclWinLoad.c (TclpDlopen): Changed the error message for
	ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND to be a bit more helpful in giving us clues.
	"can't find specified procedure" means a function in the import
	table, for implicit loading, couldn't be resolved and that's why
	the load failed.

2003-09-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
	
	* doc/Tcl_Main.3:
	* doc/FileSystem.3:				Implementation of
	* doc/source.n:					TIPs 137/151.  Adds
	* doc/tclsh.1:					a -encoding option to
	* generic/tcl.decls:				the [source] command
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SourceObjCmd):	and a new C routine,
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSEvalFileEx):	Tcl_FSEvalFileEx(),
	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main):			that provides C access
	* mac/tclMacResource.c (Tcl_MacSourceObjCmd):	to the same function.
	* tests/cmdMZ.test:				Also adds command line
	* tests/main.test:	option handling in Tcl_Main() so that tclsh
	* tests/source.test:	and other apps built on Tcl_Main() respect
	a -encoding command line option before a script filename.  Docs and
	tests updated as well.  [Patch 742683]
	This is a ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** only for those C programs
	that embed Tcl, build on Tcl_Main(), and make use of Tcl_Main's former
	ability to pass a leading "-encoding" option to interactive shell
	operations.

	* generic/tclInt.decls:				Added internal stub
	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl*StartupScript*):	table entries for
	two new functions Tcl_SetStartupScript() and Tcl_GetStartupScript()
	that set/get the path and encoding for the startup script to be
	evaluated by either Tcl_Main() or Tk_Main().  Given public names in
	anticipation of their exposure by a followup TIP.

	* generic/tclDecls.h:		make genstubs
	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

2003-09-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/SplitList.3:	Implementation of TIP 148.  Fixes [Bug 489537].
	* generic/tcl.h:	Updated Tcl_ConvertCountedElement() to quote
	* generic/tclUtil.c:	the leading "#" character of all list elements
	unless the TCL_DONT_QUOTE_HASH flag is passed in.

	* generic/tclDictObj.c:	Updated Tcl_ConvertCountedElement() callers
	* generic/tclListObj.c:	to pass in the TCL_DONT_QUOTE_HASH flags
	* generic/tclResult.c:	when appropriate.

2003-08-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/return.n:	Updated [return] docs to cover new TIP 90 features.

	* doc/break.n:		Added SEE ALSO references to return.n
	* doc/continue.n:

2003-09-01  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/Namespace.3: Basic documentation for the TIP#139 functions.
	This will need improving, but the basic bits are there at least.

2003-08-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/catch.n:	Updated [catch] docs to cover new TIP 90 features.
	
2003-08-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	Corrected bug in TIP 90 implementation 
	* tests/cmdMZ.test:	where the default -errorcode NONE value
	was not copied into the return options dictionary.  This correction
	modified one test result.

2003-08-27  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* compat/strftime.c (_fmt): Removed syst array intializer that
	couldn't take variables within it under the watcom compiler:
	'Initializers must be constant'.  I believe Borland has this
	strictness as well.  VC++ must be non-standard about this.

	Changed Win32 platform #ifdef from 'WIN32' to '__WIN32__' as
	this is the correct one to use across the Tcl sources.  Even
	though we do force it in tcl.h, the true parent one is __WIN32__.

	Added missing CONST'ification usage to match prototype listed
	in tclInt.decls.

	* win/tclWinPort.h:  Added a block for OpenWatcom adjustments
	that fixes 1) the same issue Mo did for MinGW lack of missing LPFN_*
	typedefs in their WINE derived <winsock2.h> and 2) The need to be
	strict about how the char type needs to be signed by default.

	* win/tclWinSock.c:  Added OpenWatcom to the commentary about the
	#ifdef HAVE_NO_LPFN_DECLS block.

	* win/tclWinTime.c:  Changed use of '_timezone' to 'timezone' as
	this difference is already adjusted for in tclWinPort.h.  Removed
	unreferenced posixEpoch file-scope global.

	* win/tclWinFile.c (WinReadLinkDirectory): Fix for 'Initializers
	must be constant' with the driveSpec array using OpenWatcom.

2003-08-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclUtil.c:	Corrected [Bug 411825] and other bugs in
	TclNeedSpace() where non-breaking space (\u00A0) and backslash-escaped
	spaces were handled incorrectly.  
	* tests/util.test:	Added new tests util-8.[2-6].

2003-08-26  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* generic/tcl.h: Added some support for the LCC-Win32 compiler.
	Unfortunetly, this compiler has a bug in its preprocessor and
	can't build Tcl even with this minor patch.  Also added some
	support for the OpenWatcom compiler.  A new win/makefile.wc to
	follow soon.

2003-08-25  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tools/genStubs.tcl (genStubs::makeDecl): A more subtle way of
	generating stubbed declarations allows us to have declarations of
	a function in multiple interfaces simultaneously.

	* generic/tcl.decls: Duplicated some namespace declarations from
	tclInt.decls here, as mandated by TIP #139.  This is OK since the
	declarations match and will end up using the declarations in the
	public code from now on because of #include ordering.  Keeping the
	old declarations in tclInt.decls; there's no need to gratuitously
	break compatability for those extensions which are already clients
	of the namespace code.

2003-08-23  Zoran Vasiljevic  <zoran@archiwrae.com>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: merged fixes for thread-unsafe
	handling of filesystem records [Bug #753315]. 
	This also fixed the Bug #788780
	* generic/tclPathObj.c: merged fixes for thread-unsafe
	handling of filesystem records [Bug #753315]. 

	* generic/tclFileSystem.h: merged fixes for thread-unsafe
	handling of filesystem records [Bug #753315].

2003-08-19  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialErrorStr): Fixed a syntax error
	created in the previous code cleanup.

2003-08-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* win/tclWinSerial.c: Adjusted commenting and spacing usage to
	follow the principles of the Style Guide better.

2003-08-18  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS): Use test instead
	of -eq, which does not work. [Bug 781109]

2003-08-13  Chengye Mao <chengye.geo@yahoo.com>

	* win/tclWinPipe.c: fixed a bug in BuildCommandLine.
	This bug built a command line with a missing space between
	tclpipe.dll and the following arguments.  It caused error
	in Windows 98 when exec command.com (e.g. dir) [Bug 789040]

2003-08-11  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	TIP #136 IMPLEMENTATION from Simon Geard <simon.geard@ntlworld.com>
	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LrepeatObjCmd): Adapted version of Simon's
	* doc/lrepeat.n:			  patch, updated to the HEAD
	* tests/lrepeat.test:			  and matching the core style.
	* generic/tclBasic.c (buildIntCmds):	Splice into core.
	* generic/tclInt.h: 
	* doc/list.n:				Cross-reference.

2003-08-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tclWinInit.c: recognize amd64 and ia32_on_win64 cpus.

2003-08-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:	Added escape so that non-Windows
	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:	platforms do not try to use the
	registry package.  This can save a costly and pointless package
	search.  Bumped to 1.3.1. Thanks to Dave Bodenstab.  [Bug 781609].

2003-08-05  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_INVOKE, INST_EVAL, INST_PUSH_RESULT):
	added a Tcl_ResetResult(interp) at each point where the interp's
	result is pushed onto the stack, to avoid keeping an extra
	reference that may cause costly Tcl_Obj duplication [Bug 781585]
	Detected by Franco Violi, analyzed by Peter Spjuth and Donal
	Fellows. 

2003-07-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/FileSystem.3:
	* doc/Translate.3: better documentation of Tcl_TranslateFileName
	and related functions [Bug 775220]

2003-07-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tcl.h: Revert change made on 2003-07-21
	since it made the sizeof(Tcl_Obj) different for
	regular vs mem debug builds.
	* generic/tclInt.h: Define TclDecrRefCount in terms
	of Tcl_DbDecrRefCount which removes one layer of
	inderection.
	* generic/tclObj.c (TclDbInitNewObj, Tcl_DbIncrRefCount,
	Tcl_DbDecrRefCount, Tcl_DbIsShared):
	Define ThreadSpecificData that contains a hashtable.
	The table is used to ensure that a Tcl_Obj is only
	acted upon in the thread that allocated it. This
	checking code is enabled only when mem debug and
	threads are enabled.

2003-07-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/async.test:	Added several tests that demonstrate Tcl
	* tests/basic.test:	Bug 489537, Tcl's longstanding failure to
	* tests/dict.test:	properly quote any leading '#' character
	* tests/dstring.test:	when generating the string rep of a list
	* tests/list.test:	so that the comment-power of that character
	* tests/parse.test:	is hidden from any [eval], in order to 
	* tests/util.test:	satisfy the documentation that [list] does
	[eval]-safe quoting.

2003-07-24  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

        * library/package.tcl: Fixed a typo that broke pkg_mkIndex -verbose.
        * tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Added a test for [pkg_mkIndex -verbose].

        * ChangeLog.2002 (new file):
        * ChangeLog: broke changes from 2002 into ChangeLog.2002 to reduce
          size of the main ChangeLog.

2003-07-23  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in: changes to html-tcl & html-tk
	targets for compatibility with non-gnu makes.

	* unix/Makefile.in: added macosx/README to dist target.

2003-07-23  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinReg.c (OpenSubKey): Fixed bug 775976 which causes the
	registry set command to fail when built with VC7.
	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Incremented the version to 1.1.2.

2003-07-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	Check that the thread incrementing or decrementing
	the ref count of a Tcl_Obj is the thread that
	originally allocated the thread. This fail fast
	behavior will catch programming errors that
	allow a single Tcl_Obj to be accessed from multiple
	threads.

	* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_Obj): Add allocThread member
	to Tcl_Obj. This member records the thread id the
	Tcl_Obj was allocated. It is used to check that
	any future ref count incr or decr is done from
	the same thread that allocated the Tcl_Obj.
	This member is defined only when threads and
	mem debug are enabled.
	* generic/tclInt.h (TclNewObj, TclDbNewObj,
	TclDecrRefCount):
	Define TclNewObj and TclDbNewObj using TclDbInitNewObj
	when mem debug is enabled. This fixes a problem where
	TclNewObj calls did not work the same as TclDbNewObj
	when mem debug was enabled.
	* generic/tclObj.c (TclDbInitNewObj, Tcl_DbIncrRefCount,
	Tcl_DbDecrRefCount): Add new helper to init Tcl_Obj
	members when mem debug is enabled. Init the allocThread
	member in TclDbInitNewObj and check it in
	Tcl_DbIncrRefCount and Tcl_DbDecrRefCount to make sure
	a Tcl_Obj allocated in one thread is not being acted
	upon in another thread.

2003-07-21  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* test/cmdAH.test: ensure certain tests run in local filesystem
        [Bug 748960]

2003-07-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Makefile: added option to allow installing manpages
	in addition to default html help.

2003-07-18  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/Utf.3: Tightened up documentation of Tcl_UtfNext and
	Tcl_UtfPrev to better match the behaviour. [Bug 769895]

2003-07-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: upped to http v2.4.4
	* library/http/http.tcl: add support for user:pass info in URL.
	* tests/http.test:       [Bug 759888] (shiobara)

2003-07-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/tcltest.n:                Restored the [Eval] proc to replace
	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  the [::puts] command when either the
	-output or -error option for [test] is in use, in order to capture
	data written to the output or error channels for comparison against
	what is expected.  This is easier to document and agrees better with
	most user expectations than the previous attempt to replace [puts]
	only in the caller's namespace.  Documentation made more precise on
	the subject.  [Bug 706359]

	* doc/AddErrInfo.3:	Improved consistency of documentation
	* doc/CrtTrace.3:      	by using "null" everywhere to refer to
	* doc/Encoding.3:      	the character '\0', and using "NULL"
	* doc/Eval.3:          	everywhere to refer to the value of a
	* doc/GetIndex.3:      	pointer that points to nowhere.
	* doc/Hash.3:          	Also dropped references to ASCII that
	* doc/LinkVar.3:       	are no longer true, and standardized on
	* doc/Macintosh.3:     	the hyphenated spelling of "null-terminated".
	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3:   	
	* doc/SetVar.3:         	
	* doc/StringObj.3:      	
	* doc/Utf.3:            	

	* doc/CrtSlave.3 (Tcl_MakeSafe):  Removed warning about possible
	deprecation (no TIP on that).

2003-07-17  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: fix for compilation errors on platforms where
	configure detects non-functional chflags(). [Bug 748946]

	* macosx/Makefile: Rewrote buildsystem for Mac OS X framework build
	to be purely make driven; in order to become independent of Apple's
	closed-source IDE and build tool. The changes are intended to be
	transparent to the Makefile user, all existing make targets and
	cmd line variable overrides should continue to work.
	Changed build to only include tcl specific html help in Tcl.framework,
	the tk specific html help is now included in Tk.framework.
	Added var to allow overriding of tclsh used during html help 
	building (Landon Fuller).

	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser: Changed to purely call through
	to the make driven buildsystem; Tcl.framework is no longer assembled
	by ProjectBuilder.
	Set default SYMROOT in target options to simplify setting up PB
	(manually setting common build folder for tcl & tk no longer needed).

	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: Added options to allow building only the
	tcl or tk html help files; the default behaviour with none of the new
	options is to build both, as before.

	* unix/Makefile.in: Added targets for building only the tcl or tk help.

	* macosx/README (new): Tcl specific excerpts of tk/macosx/README. 

	* generic/tcl.h: Updated reminder comment about editing
	macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj when version number changes.

2003-07-16  Mumit Khan  <khan@nanotech.wisc.edu>

	* generic/tclPathObj.c (SetFsPathFromAny): Add Cygwin specific
	code to convert POSIX filename to native format.
	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_TranslateFileName): And remove from here.
	(TclDoGlob): Adjust for cygwin and append / for dirs instead of \
	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjChdir): Use chdir on Cygwin.
	[Patch 679315]

2003-07-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* library/safe.tcl (FileInAccessPath): normalize paths before
	comparison. [Bug 759607] (myers)

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (NotifierThreadProc): correct size of found
	and word vars from int to long. [Bug 767578] (hgo)

	* generic/tcl.h:       add recognition of -DTCL_UTF_MAX=6 on the
	* generic/regcustom.h: make line to support UCS-4 mode.  No config
	arg at this time, as it is not the recommended build mode.

	* generic/tclPreserve.c: In Result and Preserve'd routines, do not
	* generic/tclUtil.c:     assume that ckfree == free, as that is not
	* generic/tclResult.c:   always true. [Bug 756791] (fuller)

2003-07-16  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/CrtSlave.3 (Tcl_MakeSafe): Updated documentation to strongly
	discourage use.  IMHO code outside the core that uses this
	function is a bug...  [Bug 655300]

	* unix/dltest/pkga.c (Pkga_EqObjCmd): Fix typo
	that was causing a crash in load.test.

2003-07-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/array.n: Make sure docs are synched with the 8.4 release.

2003-07-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/http.n:  Updated SYNOPSIS to match actual syntax of
	commands.  [Bug 756112]

	* unix/dltest/pkga.c:	Updated to not use Tcl_UtfNcmp and counted
	strings instead of strcmp (not defined in any #include'd header)
	and presumed NULL-terminated strings.

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIfCmd):  Prior fix of Bug 711371
	on 2003-04-07 introduced a buffer overflow.  Corrected.  [Bug 771613]

2003-07-15  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* win/rules.vc: Added a missing $(OPTDEFINES) which broke the
	build if STATS=memdbg was specified.
	
2003-07-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (SortCompare): Cleared up confusing error
	message. [Bug 771539]

2003-07-11  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tests/binary.test (binary-46.*): Tests to help enforce the
	current behaviour.
	* doc/binary.n: Documented that [binary format a] and [binary scan a]
	do encoding conversion by dropping high bytes, unlike the rest of
	the core. [Bug 735364]

2003-07-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/package.tcl:  Corrected [pkg_mkIndex] bug reported on
	comp.lang.tcl.  The indexer was searching for newly indexed packages
	instead of newly provided packages.

2003-07-08  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/expr.n: Tighten up the wording of some operations. [Bug 758488]

	* tests/cmdAH.test: Made tests of [file mtime] work better on FAT
	filesystems. [Patch 760768]  Also a little general cleanup.

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Made [string map] accept
	dictionaries for maps.  This is much trickier than it looks, since
	map entry ordering is significant.  [Bug 759936]

	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd, TclArraySet): Made [array
	get] and [array set] work with dictionaries, producing them and
	consuming them.  Note that for compatability reasons, you will
	never get a dict from feeding a string literal to [array set]
	since that alters the trace behaviour of "multi-key" sets.
	[Bug 759935]

2003-06-23  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclTrace.c: fix to Window debug build compilation error.

	the goal of making this a separate maintenance area.

2003-06-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/configure: Regen.
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add -ieee when
	compiling with cc and add -mieee when compiling
	with gcc under OSF1-V5 "Tru64" systems.
	[Bug 748957]

2003-06-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/encoding.n: Corrected the docs to say that [source] uses the
	system encoding, which it always did anyway (since 8.1) [Bug 742100]

2003-06-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclHash.c (Tcl_HashStats): Prevented occurrence of
	division-by-zero problems.  [Bug 759749]

2003-06-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: #undef inet_ntoa before
	#define to avoid compiler warning under freebsd.
	[Bug 745844]

2003-06-23  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/winDde.test:         a bug in the tests.
	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:  Incremented version to 1.2.5

	* doc/dde.n:                 Committed TIP #120 which provides the
	* win/tclWinDde.c:           dde package for safe interpreters.
	* tests/winDde.test:         Incremented package version to 1.2.4

	do 'file copy foo ""'. [Bug 756951]
	* tests/fCmd.test: added two new tests for the bug.

	* win/tclWinFile.c:

	speed-ups, but disabled some on the older Win 95/98/ME where
	they don't seem to work.

	* doc/FileSystem.3: documentation fix [Bug 720634]

2003-06-18  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	works again on Windows.

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
	* tests/regexp.test: fixing of bugs related to regexp and regsub
	matching of empty strings.  Addition of a number of new tests.
	[Bug 755335]

2003-06-16  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* win/Makefile.in:  Haven't heard back from David for a week.
	* win/configure:    Now committing the remaining changes.
	* win/configure.in: Note: In active contact with Helmut Giese

	* win/makefile.bc:

2003-06-10  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclConfig.c (ASSOC_KEY): Changed the key to
	  "tclPackageAboutDict" (tcl prefix) to make collisions with the
	  keys of other packages more unlikely.

2003-06-10  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:
	* generic/tclExecute.c: let TclExecuteObjvInternal call
	TclInterpReady instead of relying on its callers to do so; fix for
	the part of [Bug 495830] that is new in 8.4. 
	* tests/interp.test: Added tests 18.9 (knownbug) and 18.10

2003-06-09  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tcl.decls:  Ported the changes from the
	* generic/tcl.h:      'tip-59-implementation' branch into the CVS
	* generic/tclBasic.c: head. Regenerated stub table. Regenerated
	* generic/tclInt.h:   the configure's scripts, with help from Joe
	* generic/tclDecls.h  English.
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* generic/tclConfig.c:
	* generic/tclPkgConfig.c:
	* unix/Makefile.in:   
	* unix/configure.in:  The changes in the windows section are not

	* unix/mkLinks:       David Gravereaux.
	* doc/RegConfig.3:
	* mac/tclMacPkgConfig.c:
	* tests/config.test:

2003-06-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* string.test (string-4.15): Added test for [string first] bug
	reported in Tcl 8.3, where test for all-single-byte-encoded strings
	was not reliable.

2003-06-04  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>

	* tools/man2help.tcl: Added duplicate help section checking
	* tools/index.tcl:    and corrected a comment typo for the 
	getTopics proc in index.tcl [Bug #748700].

2003-06-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:
	* tests/fCmd.test: fix to [Bug #747575] in which a bad error

	new tests.
	
2003-05-23  D. Richard Hipp <drh@hwaci.com>

	* win/tclWinTime.c: Add tests to detect and avoid a division by zero
	in the windows precision timer calibration logic.

2003-05-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclObj.c (tclCmdNameType):  Converted internal rep
	management of the cmdName Tcl_ObjType the opposite way, to always
	use the twoPtrValue instead of always using the otherValuePtr.
	Previous fix on 2003-05-12 broke several extensions that wanted
	to poke around with the twoPtrValue.ptr2 value of a cmdName
	Tcl_Obj, like TclBlend and e4graph.  [Bug 726018]
	Thanks to George Petasis for the bug report and Jacob Levy for
	testing assistance.

2003-05-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/mkLinks: Set the var S to "" at the top
	of the file to avoid error when user has set S
	to something.
	[Tk Bug #739833]

2003-05-22  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: added missing references to
	new source files tclPathObj.c and tclMacOSXFCmd.c.

	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c: fixed a problem that caused only the
	first call to Tcl_MacOSXOpenVersionedBundleResources() for a given
	bundle identifier to succeed. This caused the tcl runtime library
	not to be found in all interps created after the inital one.
	
2003-05-19  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@hippolyta>

	* unix/tclUnixTime.c: Corrected a bug in conversion of non-ASCII
	chars in the format string.

2003-05-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: changed tclConfig.sh location
	in versioned framework subdirectories to be identical to location
	in framework toplevel; fixed stub library symbolic links to be
	tcl version specific.

	* unix/tclUnixTime.c: fixed typo.

2003-05-18  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* compat/strftime.c:  Modified TclpStrftime to return its
	* generic/tclClock.c: result in UTF-8 encoding, and removed
	* mac/tclMacTime.c:   the conversion from system encoding to
	* unix/tclUnixTime.c: UTF-8 from [clock format]. Needed to
	* win/tclWinTime.c:   avoid double conversion of the timezone
	                      name on Windows systems. [Bug 624408]

2003-05-16  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:  Applied TIP #130 which provides
	* tests/winDde.test:         for unique dde server names. Added
	* win/tclWinDde.c:           some more tests. Fixes [Bug 219293]

	* doc/dde.n: Updated documentation re TIP #130.
	* tests/winDde.test: Applied patch for [Bug 738929] by KKB and
	changed to new-style tests.

2003-05-16  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* unix/Makefile.in:	Removed one excess source file tclDToA.c

2003-05-16  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: updated copyright year.
	
2003-05-15  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* generic/tclGetDate.y: added further hackery to the yacc
	* generic/tclDate.c:    post-processing to arrange for the
	* unix/Makefile.in:     code to set up exit handlers to free
	                        the stacks [Bug 736425].

2003-05-15  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): revert glob code to
	r1.44 as 2003-04-11 optimizations broke Windows98 glob'ing.

	* doc/socket.n: nroff font handling correction

	* library/encoding/gb2312-raw.enc (new): This is the original
	gb2312.enc renamed to allow for it to still be used.  This is
	needed by Tk (unix) because X fonts with gb2312* charsets really
	do want the original gb2312 encoding. [Bug 557030]

2003-05-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Stop unwarranted demotion
	of wide values to longs by formatting of int values.  [Bug 699060]

2003-05-14  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* library/encoding/gb2312.enc: copy euc-cn.enc over original
	gb2312.enc.  gb2312.enc appeared to not work as expected, and most
	uses of gb2312 really mean euc-cn (which may be the cause of the
	problem). [Bug 557030]

2003-05-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	Implementation of TIP 118:
	
	* generic/tclFCmd.c (TclFileAttrsCmd): return the list of attributes
	that can be retrieved without error for a given file, instead of
	aborting the whole command when any error occurs.

	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: added support for new file attributes and for
	copying Mac OS X file attributes & resource fork during [file copy].

	* generic/tclInt.decls: added declarations of new external commands
	needed by new file attributes support in tclUnixFCmd.c.

	* macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c (new): Mac OS X specific implementation of
	new file attributes and of attribute & resource fork copying.

	* mac/tclMacFCmd.c: added implementation of -rsrclength attribute &
	fixes to other attributes for consistency with OSX implementation.

	* mac/tclMacResource.c: fixes to OSType handling.

	* doc/file.n: documentation of [file attributes] changes.

	* unix/configure.in: check for APIs needed by new file attributes.

	* unix/configure:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: regen.

	* tools/genStubs.tcl: fixes to completely broken code trying to
	prevent overlap of "aqua", "macosx", "x11" and "unix" stub entries.

	* tests/unixFCmd.test: added tests of -readonly attribute.
	
	* tests/macOSXFCmd.test (new): tests of macosx file attributes and
	of preservation of attributes & resource fork during [file copy].
	
	* tests/macFCmd.test: restore -readonly attribute of test dir, as
	otherwise its removal can fail on unices supporting -readonly.

2003-05-13  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* generic/tclEnv.c: Another putenv() copy behavior problem
	repaired when compiling on windows and using microsoft's runtime.
	[Bug 736421]

2003-05-13  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: ensure cd is thread-safe.
	[Bug #710642] (vasiljevic)

2003-05-13  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Removed unused variable to
	reduce compiler warnings.  [Bug 664745]

2003-05-13  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>

	* generic/tcl.decls:  Changed Tcl_JoinThread parameter name from

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
	* win/tclWinThrd.c: 
	* mac/tclMacThrd.c:

2003-05-13  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tcl.decls:
	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c: added extended version of the 
	Tcl_MacOSXOpenBundleResources() API taking an extra version number
	argument: Tcl_MacOSXOpenVersionedBundleResources().
	This is needed to be able to access bundle resources in versioned
	frameworks such as Tcl and Tk, otherwise if multiple versions were
	installed, only the latest version's resources could be accessed.
	[Bug 736774]
	
	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (Tcl_MacOSXGetLibraryPath): use new versioned
	bundle resource API to get tcl runtime library for TCL_VERSION.
	[Bug 736774]
	
	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c: regen.

	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: worked around the issue of realpath() not
	being thread-safe on Mac OS X by defining NO_REALPATH for threaded
	builds on Mac OS X. [Bug 711232]

2003-05-12  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tests/cmdAH.test: General clean-up of tests so that all
	tcltest-specific commands are protected by constraints and all
	platforms see the same number of tests.  [Bug 736431]

2003-05-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclInterp.c: (AliasObjCmd):   Added refCounting of the words
	* tests/interp.test (interp-33.1):      of the target of an interp
	alias during its execution.  Also added test. [Bug 730244].

	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclInvokeObjectCommand):  objv[argc] is no
	longer set to NULL (Tcl_CreateObjCommand docs already say that it
	should not be accessed).

	* tests/cmdMZ.test:  Forgot to import [temporaryDirectory].

	* generic/tclObj.c (tclCmdNameType):  Corrected variable use of the
	otherValuePtr or the twoPtrValue.ptr1 fields to store a
	(ResolvedCmdName *) as the internal rep.  [Bug 726018].

	* doc/Eval.3:  Corrected prototype for Tcl_GlobalEvalObj [Bug 727622].

2003-05-12  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclVar.c (TclObjLookupVar): [Bug 735335] temporary fix,
	disabling usage of tclNsVarNameType.

	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialCloseProc): correct mem leak on
	closing a Windows serial port [Bug #718002] (schroedter)

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): prevent string repeat
	crash when overflow sizes were given (throws error). [Bug #714106]

2003-05-09  Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>

	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (TclFreeAllocCache): Fixed memory leak
	caused by treating cachePtr as a TLS index [Bug 731754].

	* win/tclAppInit.c (Tcl_AppInit): Fixed memory leaks caused by not
	freeing the memory allocated by setargv and the async handler created
	by Tcl_AppInit. An exit handler has been created that takes care of
	both leaks. In addition, Tcl_AppInit now uses ckalloc instead of
	Tcl_Alloc to allow for easier leak tracking and to be more consistent
	with the rest of the Tcl core [Bugs 733156, 733221].

	* tools/encoding/txt2enc.c (main): Fixed memory leak caused by failing
	to free the memory used by the toUnicode array of strings [Bug 733221].

	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript):
	* tests/compile.test (compile-3.5): corrected wrong test and
	behaviour in the earlier fix for [Bug 705406]; Don Porter reported
	this as [Bug 735055], and provided the solution.

2003-05-09  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_ReturnObjCmd): The array of strings
	passed to Tcl_GetIndexFromObj must be NULL terminated.  [Bug 735186]
	Thanks to Joe Mistachkin for spotting this.

2003-05-07  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/trace.n: Fixed very strange language in the documentation
	for 'trace add execution'.  [Bug 729821]

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd): Made error message for
	'trace info' more consistent with documentation.  [Bug 706961]

	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictInfoCmd): Fixed memory leak caused by
	confusion about string ownership.  [Bug 731706]

2003-05-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:		extends the [catch] and [return]
	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:	commands to enable creation of a

	* generic/tclResult.c:
	* tests/cmdAH.test:
	* tests/cmdMZ.test:
	* tests/error.test:

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_HideCommand): Fixed error message for
	grammar and spelling.

	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictIncrCmd): Updated to reflect the
	behaviour with wide increments of the normal [incr] command.
	* generic/tclInt.decls: Added TclIncrWideVar2 to internal stub
	table and cleaned up.
	* tests/incr.test (incr-3.*):
	* generic/tclVar.c (TclIncrWideVar2, TclPtrIncrWideVar): 
	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): 
	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_IncrObjCmd): Make [incr] work when
	trying to increment by wide values.  [Bug 728838]

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Default mode of
	operation of [switch] is exact matching.  [Bug 727563]

2003-04-25  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:  Tcl_EvalObjv() failed to honor the
	TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL flag when resolving command names.  Tcl_EvalEx
	passed a string rep including leading whitespace and comments
	to TclEvalObjvInternal().

2003-04-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Applied SF patch #727271. This patch changes
	  the code to catch any errors returned by the windows functions
	  handling TLS ASAP instead of waiting to get some mysterious
	  crash later on due to bogus pointers. Patch provided by Joe
	  Mistachkin.

	  This is a stop-gap measure to deal with the low number of ?TLS
	  slots provided by some of the variants of Windows (60-80).

2003-04-24  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclFileName.c: fix to bug reported privately by
	Jeff where, for example, 'glob -path {[tcl]} *' gets confused
	by the leading special character (which is escaped internally),
	and instead lists files in '/'.  Bug only occurs on Windows 
	where '\' is also a directory separator.
	* tests/fileName.test: added test for the above bug.
	
2003-04-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* The changes below fix SF bugs [593810], and [718045].

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel):
	  Invoke TclpCutSockChannel and TclpSpliceSockChannel.

	* generic/tclInt.h: Declare TclpCutSockChannel and
	  TclpSpliceSockChannel.

	* unix/tclUnixSock.c (TclpCutSockChannel, TclpSpliceSockChannel):
	  Dummy functions, on unix the sockets are _not_ handled
	  specially.

	* mac/tclMacSock.c (TclpCutSockChannel, TclpSpliceSockChannel):
	* win/tclWinSock.c (TclpCutSockChannel, TclpSpliceSockChannel):
	  New functions to handle socket specific cut/splice operations:
	  auto-initi of socket system for thread on splice, management of
	  the module internal per-thread list of sockets, management of
	  association of sockets with HWNDs for event notification.

	* win/tclWinSock.c (NewSocketInfo): Extended initialization
	  assignments to cover all items of the structure. During
	  debugging of the new code mentioned above I found that two
	  fileds could contain bogus data.

	* win/tclWinFile.c: Added #undef HAVE_NO_FINDEX_ENUMS before
	  definition because when compiling in debug mode the compiler
	  complains about a redefinition, and this warning is also treated
	  as an error.

2003-04-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  When the return code of a test does
	not meet expectations, report that as the reason for test failure,
	and do not attempt to check the test result for correctness.
	[Bug 725253]

2003-04-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tclWinInt.h (VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_CE): conditionally define.
	* win/tclWinInit.c: recognize Windows CE as a Win platform.
	This just recognizes CE - full support will come later.

	* win/configure: regen
	* win/configure.in (SHELL): force it to /bin/sh as autoconf 2.5x
	uses /bin/bash, which can fail to find exes in the path (ie: lib).

	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprCallMathFunc): remove incorrect
	extraneous cast from Tcl_WideAsDouble.

2003-04-18  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/open.n:		Moved serial port options from [fconfigure]
	* doc/fconfigure.n:	to [open] as it is up to the creator of a
				channel to describe the channel's special
				config options. [Bug 679010] 

2003-04-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tcl.h:	Made changes so that the "wideInt" Tcl_ObjType
	* generic/tclObj.c:	is defined on all platforms, even those where
	* generic/tclPort.h:	TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG is defined.  Also made
	the Tcl_Value struct have a wideValue field on all platforms.  This is
	a ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG platforms
	because that struct changes size.  This is the same TIP 72
	incompatibility that was seen on other platforms at the 8.4.0 release,
	when this change should have happened as well.	[Bug 713562]

	* generic/tclInt.h:  New internal macros TclGetWide() and
	TclGetLongFromWide() to deal with both forms of the "wideInt"
	Tcl_ObjType, so that conditional TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG code
	is confined to the header file.

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	Replaced most coding that was conditional
	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:	on TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG with code that
	* generic/tclExecute.c: works across platforms, sometimes using
	* generic/tclTest.c:	the new macros above to do it.
	* generic/tclUtil.c:
	* generic/tclVar.c:

2003-04-17  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/socket.n: Added a paragraph to remind people to specify
	their encodings when using sockets. [Bug 630621]

2003-04-16  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/CrtMathFnc.3: Functions also have to deal with wide ints,
	but this was not documented. [Bug 709720]

2003-04-16  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclPathObj.c: removed undesired 'static' for function
	which is now shared (previously it was duplicated).
	
2003-04-15  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
	* doc/namespace.n: added example section "SCOPED SCRIPTS",
	supplied by Kevin Kenny. (Fixes [Bug 219183])

2003-04-15  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* makefile.vc: Updated makefile.vc to conform with Mo DeJong's
	changes to Makefile.in and tclWinPipe.c on 2003-04-14. Now passes
	TCL_PIPE_DLL in place of TCL_DBGX.
	* win/tclWinTime.c: Corrected use of types to make compilation
	compatible with VC++5.
	
2003-04-15  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: finished check-in from yesterday,
	removing duplicate function definition.
	
2003-04-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclClock.c:	Corrected compiler warnings.
	* generic/tclTest.c:

2003-04-14  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/Makefile.in: Don't define TCL_DBGX
	symbol for every compile. Instead, define
	TCL_PIPE_DLL only when compiling tclWinPipe.c.
	This will break other build systems, so
	they will need to remove the TCL_DBGX define
	and replace it with a define for TCL_PIPE_DLL.
	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess):
	Remove PREFIX_IDENT and DEBUG_IDENT from
	top of file. Use TCL_PIPE_DLL passed in
	from build env instead of trying to construct
	the dll name from already defined symbols.
	This approach is more flexible and better
	in the long run.

2003-04-14  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* win/tclWinFile.c: added conditionals to restore compilation on
	VC++6, which was broken by recent changes.
	
2003-04-14  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: 
	* generic/tclPathObj.c: 
	* generic/tclFileSystem.h: overlooked one function which
	was duplicated, so this is now shared between modules.
	* win/tclWinFile.c: allow this file to compile with VC++ 5.2 again
	since Mingw build fixes broke that.
	
2003-04-13  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/configure.in: Add check for FINDEX_INFO_LEVELS
	from winbase.h, known to be a problem in VC++ 5.2.
	Define HAVE_NO_FINDEX_ENUMS if the define does not
	exist.
	* win/tclWinFile.c: Put declarations for
	FINDEX_INFO_LEVELS and FINDEX_SEARCH_OPS inside
	a check for HAVE_NO_FINDEX_ENUMS so that these are
	not declared twice. This fixes the Mingw build.
	* win/tclWinTime.c: Rework the init of timeInfo
	so that the number or initializers matches the
	declaration. This was broken under Mingw. Add
	cast to avoid compile warning when calling the
	AccumulateSample function.

2003-04-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/Makefile.in (GENERIC_OBJS): add missing tclPathObj.c

2003-04-12  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* doc/clock.n:
	* generic/tclClock.c (Tcl_ClockObjCmd): 
	* tests/clock.test: Implementation of TIP #124. Also renumbered
	test cases to avoid duplicates [Bug 710310].
	* tests/winTime.test:
	* win/tclWinTest.c (TestwinclockCmd, TestwinsleepCmd):
	* win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_WinTime, UpdateTimeEachSecond,
	                    ResetCounterSamples, AccumulateSample,
	                    SAMPLES, TimeInfo): Made substantial changes
	to the phase-locked loop (replaced an IIR filter with an FIR one)
	in a quest for improved loop stability (Bug not logged at SF, but
	cited in private communication from Jeff Hobbs).
	
2003-04-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd,STR_IS_INT):  Corrected
	inconsistent results of [string is integer] observed on systems
	where sizeof(long) != sizeof(int).  [Bug 718878]
	* tests/string.test: Added tests for Bug 718878.
	* doc/string.n: Clarified that [string is integer] accepts
	32-bit integers.

2003-04-11  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (UpdateInterest): When dropping interest in
	  TCL_READABLE now dropping interest in TCL_EXCEPTION too. This
	  fixes a bug where Expect detects eof on a file prematurely on
	  solaris 2.6 and higher. A much more complete explanation is in
	  the code itself (40 lines of comments for a one-line change :)

2003-04-11  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/cmdAH.test: fix test suite problem if /home is a symlink
	[Bug #703264]
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix bad error message with 'cd ""'
	[Bug #704917]
	* win/tclWinFile.c: 
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: 
	* win/tclWinInt.h: allow Tcl to differentiate between reparse
	points which are symlinks and mounted volumes, and correctly
	handle the latter. This involves some elaborate code to find
	the actual drive letter (if possible) corresponding to a mounted
	volume.  [Bug #697862]
	* tests/fileSystem.test: add constraints to stop tests running
	in ordinary tcl interpreter. [Bug #705675]

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
	* generic/tclPathObj.c: (new file)
	* generic/tclFileSystem.h: (new file)
	* win/makefile.vc:
	Split path object handling out of the virtual filesystem layer,
	into tclPathObj.c.  This refactoring cleans up the internal
	filesystem code, and will make any future optimisations and
	forthcoming better thread-safety much easier.
	
	* generic/tclTest.c:
	* tests/reg.test: added some 'knownBug' tests for problems in
	Tcl's regexp code with the TCL_REG_CAN_MATCH flag (see Bug #703709).  
	Code too impenetrable to fix right now, but a fix is needed 
	for tip113 to work correctly.
	
	* tests/fCmd.test
	* win/tclWinFile.c: added some filesystem optimisation to the
	'glob' implementation, and some new tests.
	
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: fix typo in comment
	
	* tests/winFile.test:
	* tests/ioUtil.test:
	* tests/unixFCmd.test: renumbered tests with duplicate numbers.
	(Bug #710361)
	
2003-04-10  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/binary.n: Fixed typo in [binary format w] desc. [Bug 718543]

2003-04-08  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ErrorObjCmd): Strings are only empty if
	they have zero length, not if their first byte is zero, so fix
	test guarding Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo to take this into account.  [Bug
	reported by Don Porter; no bug-id.]

2003-04-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIfCmd):  Corrected string limits of
	arguments interpolated in error messages. [Bug 711371]

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceExecutionProc):  Added missing
	Tcl_DiscardResult() call to avoid memory leak.

2003-04-07  Donal K. Fellows  <zzcgudf@ernie.mvc.mcc.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclDictObj.c (Tcl_DictObjCmd): Stopped compilers from
	moaning about switch fall-through.  [Bug 716327]
	(DictFilterCmd): Yet more warning killing, this time reported by
	Miguel Sofer by private chat.

2003-04-07  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tests/dict.test (dict-2.6): 
	* generic/tclDictObj.c (Tcl_NewDictObj, Tcl_DbNewDictObj): Oops!
	Failed to fully initialise the Dict structure.
	(DictIncrCmd): Moved valueAlreadyInDictionary label to stop
	compiler complaints.  [Bug 715751]

	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictIncrCmd): Followed style in the rest of
	the core by commenting out wide-specific operations on platforms
	where wides are longs, and used longs more thoroughly than ints
	through [dict incr] anyway to forestall further bugs.
	* generic/tclObj.c: Made sure there's always a tclWideIntType
	implementation available, not that it is always useful.  [Bug 713562]

2003-04-05  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclDictObj.c: Removed commented out notes on
	declarations to be moved to elsewhere in the Tcl core.

	* generic/tclInt.h:	Final stages of plumbing in.
	* generic/tclBasic.c: 
	* generic/tclObj.c (TclInitObjSubsystem): 

	* unix/Makefile.in, win/Makefile.in, win/makefile.[bv]c: Build support.
	* generic/tcl.decls: Added dict public API to stubs table.
	* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_DictSearch): Added declaration of structure
	to allow user code to iterate over dictionaries.

	* doc/DictObj.3:	New files containing dictionary
	* doc/dict.n:		implementation, documentation and tests
	* generic/tclDictObj.c:	as mandated by TIP #111.
	* tests/dict.test:

2003-04-03  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/configure:
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Don't set
	TCL_LIBS if it is already set to support
	use of TCL_LIBS var from tclConfig.sh in
	the Tk configure script.

2003-04-03  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in: Don't subst MATH_LIBS,
	LIBS, and DL_LIBS separately. Instead, just
	subst TCL_LIBS since it includes the others.
	* unix/configure: Regen.
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS, SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS):
	Set and subst TCL_LIBS in SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS instead
	of SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS. Don't subst MATH_LIBS
	since it is now covered by TCL_LIBS.
	* unix/tclConfig.sh.in: Use TCL_LIBS instead
	of DL_LIBS, LIBS, and MATH_LIBS.
	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Ditto.

2003-04-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd):  Now that [return]
	compiles to INST_RETURN, it is safe to compile even outside a proc.

2003-04-02  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/configure.in: Set stub lib flag based
	on new LIBFLAGSUFFIX variable.
	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Set new
	LIBFLAGSUFFIX that works like LIBSUFFIX,
	it is used when creating library names.
	The previous implementation would generate
	-ltclstub85 instead of -ltclstub85s when
	configured with --disable-shared.

2003-04-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclParse.c (TclSubstTokens):  Moved declaration of
	utfCharBytes to beginning of procedure so that it does not go
	out of scope (get free()d) while append is still pointing to it.
	[Bugs 703167, 713754]

2003-04-01  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/configure: Regen.
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Check for
	inet_ntoa in -lbind inside the BeOS block since
	doing it later broke the build under SuSE 7.3.
	[Bug 713128]

2003-04-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/README:  Direct [source] of *.test files is no longer
	recommended.  The tests/*.test files should only be evaluated under
	the control of the [runAllTests] command in tests/all.tcl.

	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_RETURN):  Bytecompiled [return] failed
	to reset iPtr->returnCode, causing tests parse-18.17 and parse-18.21
	to fail strangely.
	* tests/parse.test (parse-18.21):  Corrected now functioning test.
	Added further coverage tests.

2003-03-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/parse.test (parse-18.*):  Coverage tests for the new
	implementation of Tcl_SubstObj().  Note that tests parse-18.17 and
	parse-18.21 demonstrate some bugs left to fix in the current code.

2003-03-27  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/configure: Regen.
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Use -Wl,--export-dynamic
	instead of -rdynamic for LDFLAGS. The -rdynamic is
	not documented so it seems better to pass the
	--export-dynamic flag to the linker.
	[Patch 573395]

2003-03-27  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* tests/encoding.test:
	* tests/proc-old.test:
	* tests/set-old.test: Altered test numers to eliminate duplicates,
	[Bugs 710313, 710320, 710352]

2003-03-27  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tests/parseOld.test:	Altered test numers to eliminate duplicates.
	* tests/parse.test:	[Bugs 710365, 710369]
	* tests/expr-old.test:
	* tests/expr.test:

2003-03-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/configure: Regen.
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS, SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS):
	Add BeOS system to SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS. Check for
	inet_ntoa in -lbind, needed for BeOS.

2003-03-26  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/tcltest.n:
	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Added reporting during
	[configure -debug 1] operations to warn about multiple uses of
	the same test name.  [FR 576693]

	* tests/msgcat.test (msgcat-2.2.1): changed test name to avoid
	duplication.  [Bug 710356]

	* unix/dltest/pkg?.c:  Changed all Tcl_InitStubs calls to pass
	argument exact = 0, so that rebuilds are not required when Tcl
	bumps to a new version.  [Bug 701926]

2003-03-24  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclVar.c:
	* tests/var.test: fixing ObjMakeUpvar's lookup algorithm for the
	created local variable, bugs #631741 (Chris Darroch) and #696893
	(David Hilker). 
	
2003-03-24  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl: bumped version to 1.2.2 in tclWinDde.c,
	 now adding here too.
	
2003-03-22  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
	
	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:
	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Fixed a bug where [package require dde]
	or [package require registry] attempted to load the release version
	of the DLL into a debug build. [Bug 708218] Thanks to Joe Mistachkin
	for the patch.
	* win/makefile.vc: Added quoting around the script name in the
	'test' target; Joe Mistachkin insists that he has a configuration
	that fails to launch tcltest without it, and it appears harmless 
	otherwise.

2003-03-22  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinDde.c: Make dde services conform the the documentation
	such that giving only a topic name really returns all services
	with that topic. [Bug 219155]
	Prevent hangup caused by dde server applications failing to process
	messages [Bug 707822]
	* tests/winDde.test: Corrected labels and added a test for search
	by topic name.

2003-03-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclInt.h (tclOriginalNotifier):
	* generic/tclStubInit.c (tclOriginalNotifier):
	* mac/tclMacNotify.c (Tcl_SetTimer,Tcl_WaitForEvent):
	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_SetTimer,Tcl_WaitForEvent,
		Tcl_CreateFileHandler,Tcl_DeleteFileHandler):
	* win/tclWinNotify.c (Tcl_SetTimer,Tcl_WaitForEvent):  Some linkers
	apparently use a different representation for a pointer to a function
	within the same compilation unit and a pointer to a function in a
	different compilation unit.  This causes checks like those in the
	original notifier procedures to fall into infinite loops.  The fix
	is to store pointers to the original notifier procedures in a struct
	defined in the same compilation unit as the stubs tables, and compare
	against those values.  [Bug 707174]

	* generic/tclInt.h:  Removed definition of ParseValue struct that
	is no longer used.

2003-03-19  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCompile.c:
	* tests/compile.test: bad command count on TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE
	[Bug 705406] (Don Porter).

2003-03-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/auto.tcl:		Replaced [regexp] and [regsub] with

	* library/ldAout.tcl:		to David Welton.  [Bugs 667456,667558]

	* doc/Eval.3 (Tcl_EvalObjEx):			Corrected CONST and
	* doc/ParseCmd.3 (Tcl_EvalTokensStandard):	return type errors
	in documentation.  [Bug 683994]

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd):  Alternative fix for
	* generic/tclCompile.c (INST_RETURN):	[Bug 633204] that uses a new
	* generic/tclCompile.h (INST_RETURN):	bytecode INST_RETURN to
	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_RETURN):	properly bytecode the
	[return] command to something that returns TCL_RETURN.

2003-03-18  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/configure.in: Don't run the AC_CYGWIN
	macro since it uses AC_CANONICAL_HOST under
	autoconf 2.5X. Just check to see if __CYGWIN__
	is defined by the compiler and set the
	ac_cv_cygwin variable based on that.
	[Bug 705912]

2003-03-18  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/registry.test: Changed the conditionals to avoid an
	abort if [testlocale] is missing, as when running the test in
	tclsh rather than tcltest. [Bug #705677]
	
2003-03-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: added support for building 'make html'
	from inside distribution directories named with 8.x.x version
	numbers. tcltk-man2html now uses the latest tcl8.x.x resp. tk8.x.x
	directories found inside its --srcdir argument.

2003-03-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/format.test: Renumber tests, a bunch of
	tests all had the same id.

2003-03-17  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/lsearch.n:	Altered documentation of -ascii options so
	* doc/lsort.n:		they don't specify that they operate on
				ASCII strings, which they never did
				anyway.  [Bug #703807]

2003-03-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Only add the modifier
	that indicates we've got a wide int when we're formatting in an
	integer style.  Stops some libc's from going mad.  [Bug #702622]
	Also tidied whitespace.

2003-03-13  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_WITH_TCL): Port version number
	fix that was made in tk instead of tcl sources.

2003-03-13  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	Require autoconf 2.57 or newer, see TIP 34
	for a detailed explanation of why this is good.
	This will no doubt break the build on some
	platforms, let the flaming begin.

	* tools/configure: Regen with autoconf 2.57.
	* tools/configure.in: Require autoconf 2.57.
	* unix/configure: Regen with autoconf 2.57.
	* unix/configure.in: Require autoconf 2.57.
	Apply AC_LIBOBJ changes from patch 529884.
	* unix/tcl.m4: Ditto.
	* win/configure: Regen with autoconf 2.57.
	* win/configure.in: Require autoconf 2.57.
	Don't subst LIBOBJS since this happens by
	default, this avoids an autoconf error.

2003-03-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalTokensStandard):
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj):
	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd):
	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (CompileSubExpr):
	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclSetByteCodeFromAny,TclCompileScript,
		TclCompileTokens,TclCompileCmdWord):
	* generic/tclCompile.h (TclCompileScript):

	* generic/tclInt.h (Interp,TCL_BRACKET_TERM,TclSubstTokens):
	* generic/tclParse.c (ParseTokens,Tcl_SubstObj,TclSubstTokens):
	* tests/subst.test (2.4, 8.7, 8.8, 11.4, 11.5):
	Substantial refactoring of Tcl_SubstObj to make use of the same
	parsing and substitution procedures as normal script evaluation.
	Tcl_SubstObj() moved to tclParse.c.  New routine TclSubstTokens()
	created in tclParse.c which implements all substantial functioning
	of Tcl_EvalTokensStandard().  TclCompileScript() loses its
	"nested" argument, the Tcl_Interp struct loses its termOffset
	field and the TCL_BRACKET_TERM flag in the evalFlags field, all
	of which were only used (indirectly) by Tcl_SubstObj().  Tests
	subst-8.7,8.8,11.4,11.5 modified to accomodate the only behavior
	change: reporting of parse errors now takes precedence over
	[return] and [continue] exceptions.  All other behavior should
	remain compatible.  [RFE 536831,684982] [Bug 685106]

	* generic/tcl.h:        Removed TCL_PREFIX_IDENT and TCL_DEBUG_IDENT
	* win/tclWinPipe.c:     from tcl.h -- they are not part of Tcl's
	public interface.  Put them in win/tclWinPipe.c where they are used.

	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_InterpObjCmd):       Corrected and added
	* tests/interp.test (interp-2.13):              test for option
	parsing beyond objc for [interp create --].  Thanks to Marco Maggi.
	[Bug 702383]

2003-03-11  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/makefile.vc: Added two missing uses of $(DBGX) so that
	tclpip8x.dll loads without panicking on Win9x.
	
2003-03-09  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclTest.c (TestChannelCmd): Removed an unused local
	variable that caused compilation problems on some platforms.
	
2003-03-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/tcltest.n:  Added missing "-body" to example.  Thanks to
	Helmut Giese.  [Bug 700011]

2003-03-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/io.test:
	* tests/ioCmd.test: Define a fcopy constraint and add
	it to the constraint list of any test that depends
	on the fcopy command. This is only useful to
	Jacl which does not support fcopy.

2003-03-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/encoding.test: Name temp files *.tcltestout
	instead of *.out so that when they are removed later,
	we don't accidently toast any files named *.out that
	the user has created in the build directory.

2003-03-07  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FileObjCmd): Fix the setting of a file's
	mtime and atime on 64-bit platforms.  [Bug #698146]

2003-03-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/io.test: Doh! Undo accidental commenting
	out of a couple of tests.

2003-03-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/io.test: Define a fileevent constraint and add
	it to the constraint list of any test that depends
	on the fileevent command. This is only useful to
	Jacl which does not support fileevent.

2003-03-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/io.test: Define an openpipe constraint and add
	it to the constraint list of any test that creates
	a pipe using the open command. This is only useful to
	Jacl which does not support pipes.

2003-03-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/TclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharNcasecmp):       Corrected failure to
	* tests/utf.test (utf-25.*):    properly compare Unicode strings of
	different case in a case insensitive manner.  [Bug 699042]

2003-03-06  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd):
	Replaced a non-portable 'bzero' with a portable 'memset'.
	[Bug 698442].
	
2003-03-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek, Tcl_OutputBuffered):
	If there is data buffered in the statePtr->curOutPtr
	member then set the BUFFER_READY flag in Tcl_Seek.
	This is needed so that the next call to FlushChannel
	will write any buffered bytes before doing the seek.
	The existing code would set the BUFFER_READY flag
	inside the Tcl_OutputBuffered function. This was a
	programming error made when Tcl_OutputBuffered
	was originally created in CVS revision 1.35. The
	setting of the BUFFER_READY flag should not have
	been included in the Tcl_OutputBuffered function.
	* generic/tclTest.c (TestChannelCmd): Use the
	Tcl_InputBuffered and Tcl_OutputBuffered
	util methods to query the amount of buffered
	input and output.

2003-03-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Flush): Compare the
	nextAdded member of the ChannelBuffer to the
	nextRemoved member to determine if any output
	has been buffered. The previous check against
	the value 0 seems to have just been a coding
	error. See other methods like Tcl_OutputBuffered
	for examples where nextAdded is compared to
	nextRemoved to find the number of bytes buffered.

2003-03-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetsObj): Check that
	the eol pointer has not gone past the end
	of the string when in auto translation
	mode and the INPUT_SAW_CR flag is set.
	The previous code worked because the
	end of string value \0 was being compared
	to \n, this patch just skips that pointless
	check.

2003-03-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIO.c (WriteBytes, WriteChars,
	Tcl_GetsObj, ReadBytes): Rework calls to
	TranslateOutputEOL to make it clear that
	a boolean value is being returned.
	Add some comments in an effort to make
	the code more clear. This patch makes
	no functional changes.

2003-03-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelOption):
	Invoke the Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize method
	as a result of changing the -buffersize
	option to fconfigure. The previous
	implementation used some inlined code that
	reset the buffer size to the default size
	instead of ignoring the request as
	implemented in Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize.
	* tests/io.test: Update test case so that
	it actually checks the implementation of
	Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize.

2003-03-05  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/rules.vc: updated default tcl version to 8.5.

2003-03-05  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): First attempt at a
	bytecode-compiled switch command.  It only handles the most common
	case of switching, but that should be enough for this to speed up
	a lot of people's code.  It is expected that the speed gains come
	from two things: better handling of the switch itself, and
	integrated compilation of the arms instead of embedding separate
	bytecode sequences (i.e. better local variable handling.)
	* tests/switch.test (switch-10.*): Tests of both uncompiled and
	compiled switch behaviour. [Patch #644819]

	* generic/tclCompile.h (TclFixupForwardJumpToHere): Additional
	macro to make the most common kind of jump fixup a bit easier.

2003-03-04  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	skip potential directory separator at the beginning of addStrRep.
	* mac/tclMacChan.c (OpenFileChannel, CommonWatch): followup
	fixes to cut and splice implementation for file channels.
	* mac/tclMacFile.c (TclpUtime): pass native path to utime().
	* mac/tclMacFile.c (TclpObjLink): correctly implemented creation
	of alias files via new static proc CreateAliasFile().
	* mac/tclMacPort.h: define S_ISLNK macro to fix stat'ing of links.
	* mac/tclMacUtil.c (FSpLocationFromPathAlias): fix to enable
	stat'ing of broken links.

2003-03-03  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/Makefile.vc: corrected bug introduced by 'g' for debug builds.
	
2003-03-03  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:	dde bumped to version 1.2.1 for
	* win/tclWinDde.c:		bundled release with Tcl 8.4.2

	* win/tclWinReg.c:		bundled release with Tcl 8.4.2

	* library/opt/pkgIndex.tcl:	updated package index to version 0.4.4

2003-02-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/configure:
	* win/configure.in: check for 'g' for debug build type, not 'd'.
	* win/rules.vc (DBGX): correct to use 'g' for nmake win makefile
	to match the cygwin makefile for debug builds. [Bug #635107]

2003-02-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/file.n: subcommand is 'file volumes' not 'file volume'

2003-02-27  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (MakeFsPathFromRelative): removed dead code
	check of typePtr (darley).

	* tests/winTime.test: added note about PCI hardware dependency
	issues with high performance clock.

2003-02-27  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tests/lsearch.test (lsearch-10.7): 
	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): Stopped -start option
	from causing an option when used with an empty list.  [Bug #694232]

2003-02-26  Chengye Mao <chengye.geo@yahoo.com>

	* win/tclWinInit.c: fixed a bug in TclpSetVariables by initializing
	dwUserNameLen with the sizeof(szUserName) before calling GetUserName.
	Don't know if this bug has been recorded: it caused crash in starting
	Tcl or wish in Windows.

2003-02-26  Jeff Hobbs	<jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceCommandProc): Fix mem leak when
	deleting a command that had trace on it. [Bug #693564] (sofer)

2003-02-25  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/pkgMkIndex.n:	Modified [pkg_mkIndex] to use -nocase matching
	* library/package.tcl:	of -load patterns, to better accomodate
	common user errors due to confusion between [package names] names
	and [info loaded] names.

2003-02-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@pliers.activestate.com>

	* tests/pid.test: See below [Bug #678412].
	* tests/io.test: Made more robust against spaces in paths
	[Bug #678400].

2003-02-25  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* tests/execute.test: cleaning up testobj's at the end, to avoid
	  leak warning by valgrind.

2003-02-22  Zoran Vasiljevic  <zoran@archiwrae.com>

	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_FinalizeThread): Fix [Bug #571002] 

2003-02-21  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tests/binary.test (binary-44.[34]): 
	* generic/tclBinary.c (ScanNumber): Fixed problem with unwanted
	sign-bit propagation when scanning wide ints. [Bug #690774]

2003-02-21  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* mac/tclMacChan.c (TclpCutFileChannel, TclpSpliceFileChannel):
	Implemented missing cut and splice procs for file channels.

2003-02-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown):  Minor performance tweaks
	to reduce the number of [file] invocations.  Meant to improve
	startup times, at least a little bit.  [Patch 687906]

2003-02-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tcl.m4:
	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c: (macosx) use vfork() instead of fork() to
	create new processes, as recommended by Apple (vfork can be up to
	100 times faster thank fork on macosx).
	* unix/configure: regen.

2003-02-20  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclEncoding.c (LoadTableEncoding):
	* library/encoding/cp932.enc:      Correct jis round-trip encoding
	* library/encoding/euc-jp.enc:     by adding 'R' type to .enc files.
	* library/encoding/iso2022-jp.enc: [Patch #689341] (koboyasi, taguchi)
	* library/encoding/jis0208.enc:
	* library/encoding/shiftjis.enc:
	* tests/encoding.test:

	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (Tcl_MakeTcpClientChannel): add
	MakeTcpClientChannelMode that takes actual mode flags to avoid
	hang on OS X (may be OS X bug, but patch works x-plat).
	[Bug #689835] (steffen)

2003-02-20  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/regsub.n: Typo fix [Bug #688943]

2003-02-19  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpReaddir):
	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: update to Bug 689100 patch to ensure that
	there is a defined value of MAXNAMLEN (aka NAME_MAX in POSIX) and
	that we have some buffer allocated.

2003-02-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c: restored Tcl_SetObjLength() side-effect
	of always invalidating unicode rep (if the obj has a string rep).
	Added hasUnicode flag to String struct, allows decoupling of
	validity of unicode rep from buffer size allocated to it (improves 
	memory allocation efficiency). [Bugs #686782, #671138, #635200]

	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
	* macosx/Makefile: reworked embedded build to no longer require
	relinking but to use install_name_tool instead to change the
	install_names for embedded frameworks. [Bug #644510]

	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: preserve mod dates when
	running 'make install' to build framework (avoids bogus rebuilds
	of dependent frameworks because tcl headers appear changed).

	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-1.8): fix failure when system encoding
	is utf-8: use iso8859-1 encoding explicitly.

2003-02-18  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileExprWords): remove unused
	variable "range" [Bug 664743]
	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprSrandFunc): remove unused
	variable "result" [Bug 664743]
	* generic/tclStringObj.c (UpdateStringOfString): remove unused
	variable "length" [Bug 664751]
	* tests/execute.test (execute-7.30): fix for [Bug 664775]	

2003-02-18  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* unix/tcl.m4: [Bug #651811] Added definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE and
	  linkage of 'xnet' library to HP 11 branch. This kills a lot of
	  socket-related failures in the testsuite when Tcl was compiled
	  in 64 bit mode (both PA-RISC 2.0W, and IA 64).

	* unix/configure: Regenerated.

2003-02-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (HaveVersion): correctly decl static

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpReaddir): reduce size of name string in
	tsd to NAME_MAX instead of PATH_MAX. [Bug #689100] (waters)

2003-02-18  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/configure: Regen.
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Make sure
	-lpthread gets passed on the link line when
	checking for the pthread_attr_setstacksize symbol.

2003-02-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclTest.c: cleanup of new 'simplefs' test code, and
	better documentation.

2003-02-17  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand): fixing error in previous
	commit. 

2003-02-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode INST_STR_MATCH):
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd STR_MATCH):
	* generic/tclUtf.c (TclUniCharMatch):
	* generic/tclInt.decls:  add private TclUniCharMatch function that
	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: does string match on counted unicode
	* generic/tclStubInit.c: strings.  Tcl_UniCharCaseMatch has the
	* tests/string.test:     failing that it can't handle strings or
	* tests/stringComp.test: patterns with embedded NULLs.  Added
	tests that actually try strings/pats with NULLs.  TclUniCharMatch
	should be TIPed and made public in the next minor version rev.

2003-02-17  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand): 'oldFullName' object was
	not being freed on all function exits, causing a memory leak 
	[Bug 684756]
	
2003-02-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetsObj): Minor change
	so that eol is only assigned at the top of the
	TCL_TRANSLATE_AUTO case block. The other cases
	assign eol so this does not change any functionality.

2003-02-17  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/notify.test: Removed Windows line terminators. [Bug 687913].

	* tests/notify.test (new-file): 
	* generic/tclTest.c (TclTest_Init, EventtestObjCmd, EventtestProc,
	                     EventTestDeleteProc):
	* generic/tclNotify.c (Tcl_DeleteEvents): Fixed Tcl_DeleteEvents
	not to get a pointer smash when deleting the last event in the
	queue. Added test code in 'tcltest' and a new file of test cases
	'notify.test' to exercise this functionality; several of the new
	test cases fail for the original code and pass for the corrected
	code. [Bug 673714]

	* unix/tclUnixTest.c (TestfilehandlerCmd): Corrected a couple
	of typos in error messages. [Bug 596027]

	necessary on certain machines.
	* tests/winTime.test: Revised winTime-2.1 - it had a tolerance
	of thousands of seconds, rather than milliseconds. (What's six
	orders of magnitude among friends?
	Both the above changes are triggered by a problem reported at
	http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/ActiveTcl/1536811
	although the developers find it difficult to believe that it
	accounts for the observed behavior and suspect a fault in the
	RTC chip.

2003-02-13  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinInit.c: Added conversion from the system encoding
	to tcl_platform(user), so that it works with non-ASCII7 user names.
	[Bug 685926]
	
	* doc/tclsh.1: Added language to describe the handling of the
	end-of-file character \u001a embedded in a script file.
	[Bug 685485]
	
2003-02-11  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/fileName.test:
	* unix/tclUnixFile.c: fix for [Bug 685445] when using 'glob -l'
	on broken symbolic links.  Added two new tests for this bug.

2003-02-11  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/http.test: Corrected a problem where http-4.14 would fail
	when run in an environment with a proxy server.  Replaced references
	to scriptics.com by tcl.tk.
	
2003-02-11  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* tests/lsearch.test:
	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): protect against the case
	that lsearch -regepx list and pattern objects are equal.

	* tests/stringObj.test:
	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_GetCharLength): correct ascii char
	opt of 2002-11-11 to not stop early on \x00. [Bug #684699]

	* tests.parse.test: remove excess EOF whitespace

	* generic/tclParse.c (CommandComplete): more paranoid check to
	break on (p >= end) instead of just (p == end).

2003-02-11  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclParse.c (CommandComplete): 
	* tests/parse.test: fix for [Bug 684744], by Don Porter.

2003-02-11  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSJoinPath, Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath): 
	(UpdateStringOfFsPath): revert the cwdLen == 0 check and instead
	follow a different code path in Tcl_FSJoinPath.
	(Tcl_FSConvertToPathType, Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath):
	(Tcl_FSGetFileSystemForPath): Update string rep of path objects
	before freeing the internal object. (darley)

	* tests/fileSystem.test: added test 8.3
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath): 
	(UpdateStringOfFsPath): handle the cwdLen == 0 case 

	* unix/tclUnixFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): simplify the hidden
	file match check.

2003-02-10  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure:
	* win/configure.in: Generate error when attempting
	to build under Cygwin. The Cygwin port of Tcl/Tk
	does not build and people are filing bug reports
	under the mistaken impression that someone is
	actually maintaining the Cygwin port. A post to
	comp.lang.tcl asking someone to volunteer as an
	area maintainer has generated no results.
	Closing bugs 680840, 630199, and 634772 and
	marking as "Won't fix".

2003-02-10  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/append.n: Return value was not documented. [Bug 683188]

2003-02-10  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/FileSystem.3:
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* tests/fileSystem.test:
	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:
	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
	* win/tclWinFile.c: further filesystem optimization, applying
	[Patch 682500].	 In particular, these code examples are
	faster now:
	foreach f $flist { if {[file exists $f]} {file stat $f arr;...}}
	foreach f [glob -dir $dir *] { # action and/or recursion on $f }
	cd $dir
	foreach f [glob *] { # action and/or recursion on $f }
	cd ..

	* generic/tclTest.c: Fix for [Bug 683181] where test suite
	left files in 'tmp'.

2003-02-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* library/safe.tcl: code cleanup of eval and string comp use.

2003-02-07  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: cleanup long lines
	* win/tclWinFile.c: sped up pure 'glob' by a factor of 2.5
	('foreach f [glob *] { file exists $f }' is still slow)
	* tests/fileSystem.text:
	* tests/fileName.test: added new tests to ensure correct
	behaviour in optimized filesystem code.

2003-02-07  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclTest.c:
	* tests/fileSystem.text: fixed test 7.2 to avoid a possible
	crash, and not change the pwd.
	
	* tests/http.text: added comment to test 4.15, that it may
	fail if you use a proxy server.
	
2003-02-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIncrCmd):
	* tests/incr.test: Don't include the text
	"(increment expression)" in the errorInfo
	generated by the compiled version of the
	incr command since it does not match the
	message generated by the non-compiled version
	of incr. It is also not possible to match
	this error output under Jacl, which does
	not support a compiler.

2003-02-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): When an
	error is encountered reading the increment value during
	a compiled call to incr, add a "(reading increment)"
	error string to the errorInfo variable. This makes
	the errorInfo variable set by the compiled incr command
	match the value set by the non-compiled version.
	* tests/incr-old.test: Change errorInfo result for
	the compiled incr command case to match the modified
	implementation.
	* tests/incr.test: Add tests to make sure the compiled
	and non-compiled errorInfo messages are the same.

2003-02-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Filename arguments to [outputChannel]
	and [errorChannel] (also -outfile and -errfile) were [open]ed but
	never [closed].  Also, [cleanupTests] could remove output or error
	files.  [Bug 676978].
	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: Bumped to version 2.2.2.

2003-02-05  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/interp.test:
	* tests/set-old.test: Run test cases that depend
	on hash order through lsort so that the tests
	also pass under Jacl. Does not change test
	results under Tcl.

2003-02-04  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
	* generic/tclEvent.c:
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* mac/tclMacFCmd.c:
	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:
	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:
	* win/tclWinInit.c:
	* win/tclWinInt.h:
	* tests/fileSystem.test: fix to finalization/unloading/encoding
	issues to make filesystem much less dependent on encodings for
	its cleanup, and therefore allow it to be finalized later in the
	exit process.  This fixes fileSystem.test-7.1.  Also fixed one
	more bug in setting of modification dates of files which have 
	undergone cross-platform copies.  [Patch 676271]
	
	* tests/basic.test:
	* tests/exec.test:
	* tests/fileName.test:
	* tests/io.test: fixed some test failures when tests are run 
	from a directory containing spaces.
	
	* tests/fileSystem.test:
	* generic/tclTest.c: added regression test for the modification
	date setting of cross-platform file copies.
	
2003-02-03  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c: Changed [trace add command] so that 'rename'
	callbacks get fully qualified names of the command. [Bug
	651271]. ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
	* tests/trace.test: Modified the test cases for [trace add
	command] to expect fully qualified names on the 'rename'
	callbacks. Added a case for renaming a proc within a namespace.
	* doc/trace.n: Added language about use of fully qualified names
	in trace callbacks.
	
2003-02-01  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: Removed an unused variable that caused
	compiler warnings on SGI. [Bug 664379]
	
	* generic/tclLoad.c: Changed the code so that if Tcl_StaticPackage
	is called to report the same package as being loaded in two interps,
	it shows up in [info loaded {}] in both of them (previously,
	it didn't appear in the static package list in the second.

	* tests/load.test Added regression test for the above bug.
	[Bug 670042]
	
	* generic/tclClock.c: Fixed a bug that incorrectly allowed
	[clock clicks {}] and [clock clicks -] to be accepted as if
	they were [clock clicks -milliseconds].
	
	* tests/clock.test: Added regression tests for the above bug.
	[Bug 675356]
	
	* tests/unixNotfy.test: Added cleanup of working files
	[Bug 675609]
	
	* doc/Tcl.n: Added headings to the eleven paragraphs, to improve
	formatting in the tools that attempt to extract tables of contents
	from the manual pages. [Bug 627455]

	* generic/tclClock.c: Expanded mutex protection around the setting
	of env(TZ) and the thread-unsafe call to tzset(). [Bug 656660]
	
2003-01-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/tcltest.test: Cleaned up management of file/directory
	creation/deletion to improve "-debug 1" output.  [Bug 675614]
	The utility [slave] command failed to properly [list]-quote a
	constructed [open] command, causing failure when the pathname
	contained whitespace.  [Bug 678415]

	* tests/main.test: Stopped main.test from deleting existing file.
	Test suite should not delete files that already exist. [Bug 675660]

2003-01-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/main.test: Constrain tests that do not work on Windows.
	[Bug 674387]

2003-01-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to setting modification date
	in TclCrossFilesystemCopy.  Also added 'panic' in 
	Tcl_FSGetFileSystemForPath under illegal calling circumstances
	which lead to hard-to-track-down bugs.
	
	* generic/tclTest.c: added test suite code to allow
	exercising a vfs-crash-on-exit bug in Tcl's finalization caused
	by the encodings being cleaned up before unloading occurs.
	* tests/fileSystem.test: added new 'knownBug' test 7.1
	to demonstrate the crash on exit.

2003-01-28  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tcl.h: Add TCL_PREFIX_IDENT and
	TCL_DEBUG_IDENT, used only by TclpCreateProcess.
	* unix/Makefile.in: Define TCL_DBGX.
	* win/Makefile.in: Define TCL_DBGX.
	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess):
	Check that the Tcl pipe dll actually exists
	in the Tcl bin directory and panic if it
	is not found. Incorporate TCL_DBGX into
	the Tcl pipe dll name. This fixes a really
	mysterious error that would show up when
	exec'ing a 16 bit application under Win95
	or Win98 when Tcl was compiled with symbols.
	The error seemed to indicate that the executable
	could not be found, but it was actually the
	Tcl pipe dll that could not be found.

2003-01-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/README: Update msys+mingw URL to release 6.
	This version bundles gcc 3.

2003-01-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/configure.in: Add test that checks to
	see if the compiler can cast to a union type.
	* win/tclWinTime.c: Squelch compiler warning
	about union initializer by casting to union
	type when compiling with gcc.

2003-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel):
	Invoke TclpCutFileChannel and TclpSpliceFileChannel.
	* generic/tclInt.h: Declare TclpCutFileChannel
	and TclpSpliceFileChannel.
	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileCloseProc, TclpOpenFileChannel,
	Tcl_MakeFileChannel, TclpCutFileChannel,
	TclpSpliceFileChannel): Implement thread load data
	cut and splice for file channels. This avoids
	an invalid memory ref when compiled with -DDEPRECATED.
	* win/tclWinChan.c (FileCloseProc, TclpCutFileChannel,
	TclpSpliceFileChannel): Implement thread load data
	cut and splice for file channels. This avoids
	an invalid memory ref that was showing up in the
	thread extension.

2003-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace, squelch_warnings):
	* win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel, squelch_warnings):
	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, DoCopyFile, squelch_warnings):
	Re-implement inline ASM SEH handlers for gcc.
	The esp and ebp registers are now saved on the
	stack instead of in global variables so that
	the code is thread safe. Add additional checks
	when TCL_MEM_DEBUG is defined to be sure the
	values were recovered from the stack properly.
	Remove squelch_warnings functions and add
	a dummy call in the handler methods to squelch
	compiler warnings.

2003-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure:
	* win/configure.in: Define HAVE_ALLOCA_GCC_INLINE
	when we detect that no alloca function is found
	in malloc.h and we are compiling with GCC.
	Remove HAVE_NO_ALLOC_DECL define.
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace):
	Don't define alloca as a cdecl function.
	Doing this caused a tricky runtime bug because
	the _alloca function expects the size argument
	to be passed in a register and not on the stack.
	To fix this problem, we use inline ASM when
	compiling with gcc to invoke _alloca with the
	size argument loaded into a register.

2003-01-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tclWinDde.c (Dde_Init): clarified use of tsdPtr.
	(DdeServerProc): better refcount handling of returnPackagePtr.

	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): revert finalize change on
	2002-12-04 to correct the issue with extensions that have TSD
	needing to finalize that before they are unloaded.  This issue
	needs further clarification.

	* tests/unixFCmd.test: only do groups check on unix

2003-01-24  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c: proper fixes for Tcl_SetObjLength and 
	Tcl_AttemptSetObjectLength dealing with string objects with
	both pure-unicode and normal internal representations. 
	Previous fix didn't handle all cases correctly.
	* generic/tclIO.c: Add 'Tcl_GetString()' to ensure the object has
	a valid 'objPtr->bytes' field before manipulating it directly.
	
	This fixes [Bug 635200] and [Bug 671138], but may reduce performance
	of Unicode string handling in some cases. A further patch will
	be applied to address this, once the code is known to be correct.

2003-01-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/configure.in: Add test to see if alloca
	is undefined in malloc.h.
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace): Rework
	the SEH exception handler logic to avoid using
	the stack since alloca will modify the stack.
	This was causing a nasty bug that would set the
	exception handler to 0 because it tried to pop
	the previous exception handler off the top of
	the stack.

2003-01-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/lset.n: Fixed fault in return values from lset in
	documentation examples [SF Bug #658463] and tidied up a bit at the
	same time.

2003-01-21  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
	* doc/namespace.n (namespace inscope): Clarified documentation
	[SF Patch #670110]

2003-01-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Set SHLIB_SUFFIX
	so that TCL_SHLIB_SUFFIX will be set to a useful
	value in the generated tclConfig.sh.
	Set SHLIB_LD_LIBS to "" or '${LIBS}' based on
	the --enable-shared flag. This matches the
	UNIX implementation.

2003-01-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: change %ud to %u as appropriate.

2003-01-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinDde.c (DdeServerProc): Deallocate
	the Tcl_Obj returned by ExecuteRemoteObject
	if it was not saved in a connection object.

2003-01-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tcl.h: Revert earlier change that
	defined TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE as long long and
	TCL_LL_MODIFIER as L when compiling with
	mingw. This change ended up causing some
	test case failures when compiling with mingw.
	* generic/tclObj.c (UpdateStringOfWideInt):
	Describe the warning generated by mingw and
	why it needs to be ignored so that someone
	is not tempted to "fix" this problem again
	in the future.

2003-01-16  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c: Tcl_SetObjLength fix for when
	the object has a unicode string rep. Fixes [Bug 635200]
	* tests/stringObj.test: removed 'knownBug' constraint from
	test 14.1 now that this bug is fixed.
	
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclBasic.c:
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.z:
	* tests/trace.test: execution and command tracing bug fixes and
	cleanup.  In particular fixed [Bug 655645], [Bug 615043], 
	[Bug 571385]
	  - fixed some subtle cleanup problems with tracing. This 
	    required replacing Tcl_Preserve/Tcl_Release with a more 
	    robust refCount approach. Solves at least one known crash
	    caused by memory corruption.
	  - fixed some confusion in the code between new style traces
	  (Tcl 8.4) and the very limited 'Tcl_CreateTrace' which existed
	  before.
	  - made behaviour consistent with documentation (several
	    tests even contradicted the documentation before).
	  - fixed some minor error message details
	  - added a number of new tests

2003-01-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialOutputProc): add casts for
	bytesWritten to allow strict compilation (no warnings).

	* tests/winDde.test:
	* win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Prevent crash when empty
	service name is passed to 'dde eval' and goto errorNoResult in
	request and poke error cases to free up any allocated data.

2003-01-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (squelch_warnings): Squelch
	compiler warnings from SEH ASM code.
	* win/tclWinChan.c (squelch_warnings): Squelch
	compiler warnings from SEH ASM code.
	* win/tclWinDde.c: Add casts to avoid compiler
	warnings. Pass pointer to DWORD instead of int
	to avoid compiler warnings.
	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (squelch_warnings): Add casts
	and fixup decls to avoid compiler warnings.
	Squelch compiler warnings from SEH ASM code.
	* win/tclWinFile.c: Add casts and fixup decls
	to avoid compiler warnings. Remove unused variable.
	* win/tclWinNotify.c: Declare as DWORD instead
	of int to avoid compiler warning.
	* win/tclWinReg.c: Add casts to avoid compiler
	warning. Fix assignment in if expression bug.
	* win/tclWinSerial.c: Add casts to avoid compiler
	warnings. Remove unused variable.
	* win/tclWinSock.c: Add casts and fixup decls
	to avoid compiler warnings.

2003-01-14  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): corrected typo that
	incorrectly conditionally defined savedTZEnv and savedTimeZone.

2003-01-13  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	Fix mingw build problems and compiler warnings.

	* generic/tcl.h: Add if defined(__MINGW32__)
	check to code that sets the TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE
	and TCL_LL_MODIFIER.
	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): Don't
	define savedTimeZone and savedTZEnv if
	we are not going to use them.
	* generic/tclEnv.c: Add cast to avoid warning.
	* win/tclWinChan.c: Use DWORD instead of int
	to avoid compiler warning.
	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Only define allocLock,
	allocLockPtr, and dataKey when TCL_THREADS
	is defined. This avoid a compiler warning
	about unused variables.

2003-01-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/README: Update msys + mingw URL, the
	new release includes the released 1.0.8
	version of msys which includes a number
	of bug fixes.

2003-01-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Pull in
	addition of shell32.lib to LIBS_GUI that
	was added to the Tk tcl.m4 but never made
	it back into the Tcl version.

2003-01-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tcl.h: Skip Tcl's define of CHAR,
	SHORT, and LONG when HAVE_WINNT_IGNORE_VOID
	is defined. This avoids a bunch of compiler
	warnings when building with Cygwin or Mingw.
	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/configure.in: Define HAVE_WINNT_IGNORE_VOID
	when we detect a winnt.h that still defines
	CHAR, SHORT, and LONG when VOID has already
	been defined.
	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_LOAD_TCLCONFIG): Subst the
	TCL_DEFS loaded from tclConfig.sh so that
	Tcl defines can make it into the Tk Makefile.

2003-01-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/configure.in: Check for typedefs like LPFN_ACCEPT
	in winsock2.h and define HAVE_NO_LPFN_DECLS if not found.
	* win/tclWinSock.c: Define LPFN_* typedefs if
	HAVE_NO_LPFN_DECLS is defined. This fixes the build
	under Mingw and Cygwin, it was broken by the changes
	made on 2002-11-26.

2003-01-10  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: 
	* win/tclWinInt.h:
	* win/tclWinInit.c: fix to new WinTcl crash on exit with vfs,
	introduced on 2002-12-06.  Encodings must be cleaned up after
	the filesystem.
	
	* win/makefile.vc: fix to minor VC++ 5.2 syntax problem
	
2003-01-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd):  Corrected off-by-one
	problem with recent commit.  [Bug 633204]

2003-01-09  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclFileName.c: remove unused variable 'macSpecialCase'
	[Bug 664749]
	
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
	* mac/tclMacFile.c:
	* win/tclWinFile.c:
	* win/tclWinInt.h:
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: 
	* tests/cmdAH.test: fix to non-ascii chars in paths when
	setting mtime and atime through 'file (a|m)time $path $time'
	[Bug 634151]

2003-01-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExprFloatError):  Use the IS_NAN macro
	for greater clarity of code.

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd): 
	* tests/compile.test:	Corrects failure of bytecompiled 
	[catch {return}] to have result TCL_RETURN (not TCL_OK) [Bug 633204].
	This patch is a workaround for 8.4.X.  A new opcode INST_RETURN is a
	better long term solution for 8.5 and later.

	* win/makefile.vc:
	* win/rules.vc:  Fixed INSTALLDIR macro problem that blanked itself
	by accident causing the install target to put the tree at the root
	of the drive built on.  Whoops..

	Renamed the 'linkexten' option to be 'staticpkg'.  Added 'thrdalloc'
	to allow the switching _on_ of the thread allocator.  Under testing,
	I found it not to be benificial under windows for the purpose of the
	application I was using it for.  It was more important for this app
	that resources for tcl threads be returned to the system rather than
	saved/moved to the global recycler.  Be extra clean or extra fast
	for the default threaded build?  Let's move to clean and allow it to
	be switched on for users who find it benificial for their use of
	threads.
