2010-11-29  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* generic/tclInt.decls:
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclStrToD.c:
	* generic/tclTest.c:
	* generic/tclTomMath.decls:
	* generic/tclUtil.c:
	* tests/util.test:
	* unix/Makefile.in:
	* win/Makefile.in:
	* win/makefile.vc: Rewrite of Tcl_PrintDouble and TclDoubleDigits
	that (a) fixes a severe performance problem with floating point
	shimmering reported by Karl Lehenbauer, (b) allows TclDoubleDigits
	to generate the digit strings for 'e' and 'f' format, so that it
	can be used for tcl_precision != 0 (and possibly later for [format]),
	(c) fixes [Bug 3120139] by making TclPrintDouble inherently
	locale-independent, (d) adds test cases to util.test for
	correct rounding in difficult cases of TclDoubleDigits where fixed-
	precision results are requested. (e) adds test cases to util.test for
	the controversial aspects of [Bug 3105247]. As a side effect, two
	more modules from libtommath (bn_mp_set_int.c and bn_mp_init_set_int.c)
	are brought into the build, since the new code uses them.

	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* generic/tclTomMathDecls.h:	Regenerated.

2010-11-24  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* tests/chanio.test, tests/iogt.test, tests/ioTrans.test: Convert more
	tests to tcltest2 and factor them to be easier to understand.

2010-11-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* tests/chanio.test: Converted many tests to tcltest2 by marking the
	setup and cleanup parts as such.

2010-11-18  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/tclAppInit.c: [FRQ 491789]: "setargv() doesn't support a
	unicode cmdline" now implemented for cygwin and mingw32 too.
	* tests/main.test: No longer disable tests Tcl_Main-1.4 and 1.6
	on Windows, because those now work on all supported platforms.
	* win/configure.in:  Set NO_VIZ=1 when zlib is compiled in libtcl,
	this resolves compiler warnings in 64-bit and static builds.
	* win/configure (regenerated)

2010-11-18  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* doc/file.n: [Bug 3111298]: Typofix.

	* win/tclAppInit.c:Bring compilation under mingw-w64 a bit closer
	* win/cat.c:       to reality. See for what's missing:
	* win/tcl.m4:      <https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/Unicode%20apps>
	* win/configure:   (re-generated)
	* win/tclWinPort.h:[Bug #3110161]: Extensions using TCHAR don't compile

2010-11-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclOOMethod.c (ProcedureMethodVarResolver): [Bug 3105999]:
	* tests/oo.test:	Make sure that resolver structures that are
				only temporarily needed get squelched.

2010-11-05  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclMain.c: Thanks, Kevin, for the fix, but this how it was
	supposed to be (TCL_ASCII_MAIN is only supposed to be defined on
	WIN32).

2010-11-05  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* generic/tclMain.c: Added missing conditional on _WIN32 around code
	that messes around with the definition of _UNICODE, to correct a badly
	broken Unix build from Jan's last commit.

2010-11-04  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclDecls.h:	[FRQ 491789]: "setargv() doesn't support a
	* generic/tclMain.c:	unicode cmdline" implemented for Tcl on MSVC++
	* doc/Tcl_Main.3:
	* win/tclAppInit.c:
	* win/makefile.vc:

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:	Eliminate minor MSVC warning TCHAR -> char
				conversion

2010-11-04  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

	* tests/socket.test: Run the socket tests three times with the address
	family set to any, inet, and inet6 respectively. Use constraints to
	skip the tests if a family is found to be unsupported or not
	configured on the local machine. Adjust the tests to dynamically adapt
	to the address family that is being tested.

	Rework some of the tests to speed them up by avoiding (supposedly)
	unneeded [after]s.

2010-11-04  Stuart Cassoff  <stwo@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in:	[Patch 3101127]: Installer Improvements.
	* unix/install-sh:

2010-11-04  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* tests/error.test (error-19.13): Another variation on testing for
	issues in [try] compilation.

	* doc/Tcl.n (Variable substitution): [Bug 3099086]: Increase clarity
	of explanation of what characters are actually permitted in variable
	substitutions. Note that this does not constitute a change of
	behavior; it is just an improvement of explanation.

2010-11-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* changes:	Updates for 8.6b2 release.  (Thanks Andreas Kupries)

2010-11-03  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/tclWinFcmd.c:    [FRQ 2965056]: Windows build with -DUNICODE

	* win/tclWinReg.c:

2010-11-03  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TryPostBody):  Ensure that errors when setting
	* tests/error.test (error-19.1[12]): message/opt capture variables get
					     reflected properly to the caller.

2010-11-03  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileCatchCmd): [Bug 3098302]:
	* tests/compile.test (compile-3.6): Reworked the compilation of the
	[catch] command so as to avoid placing any code that might throw an
	exception (specifically, any initial substitutions or any stores to
	result or options variables) between the BEGIN_CATCH and END_CATCH but
	outside the exception range.  Added a test case that panics on a stack
	smash if the change is not made.

2010-11-01  Stuart Cassoff  <stwo@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/safe.tcl:	Improved handling of non-standard module path
	* tests/safe.test:	lists, empty path lists in particular.

				wasting CPU while keeping accuracy.

2010-10-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/http.test:	[Bug 3097490]: Make http-4.15 pass in
				isolation.

	* unix/tclUnixSock.c:	[Bug 3093120]: Prevent calls of
				freeaddrinfo(NULL) which can crash some
				systems.  Thanks Larry Virden.

2010-10-26  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

	* Changelog.2008: Split off from Changelog.
	* generic/tclIOSock.c (TclCreateSocketAddress): The interp != NULL
	check is needed for ::tcl::unsupported::socketAF as well.

2010-10-26  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* unix/tclUnixSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Prevent crash if interp is
	* win/tclWinSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc):   NULL (a legal situation).

2010-10-26  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

	* unix/tclUnixSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Added support for
	::tcl::unsupported::noReverseDNS, which if set to any value, prevents
	[fconfigure -sockname] and [fconfigure -peername] from doing
	reverse DNS queries.

2010-10-17  Alexandre Ferrieux  <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/info.n:            [Patch 2995655]:
	* generic/tclBasic.c:    Report inner contexts in [info errorstack]
	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
	* generic/tclCompile.c:
	* generic/tclCompile.h:
	* generic/tclExecute.c:
	* generic/tclInt.h:

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictForCmd): Update the compilation
	* generic/tclCompile.c (tclInstructionTable):	of [dict for] so that
	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBCresume):		it no longer makes any
	use of INST_DICT_DONE now that's not needed, and make it clearer in
	the implementation of the instruction that it's just a deprecated form
	of unset operation. Followup to my commit of 2010-10-16.

2010-10-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclZlib.c (Tcl_ZlibStreamGet): [Bug 3081008]: Ensure that
	when a bytearray gets its internals entangled with zlib for more than
	a passing moment, that bytearray will never be shimmered away. This
	increases the amount of copying but is simple to get right, which is a
	reasonable trade-off.

	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendObjToObj): Added some special
	cases so that most of the time when you build up a bytearray by
	appending, it actually ends up being a bytearray rather than
	shimmering back and forth to string.

	* tests/http11.test (check_crc): Use a simpler way to express the
	functionality of this procedure.

	* generic/tclZlib.c: Purge code that wrote to the object returned by
	Tcl_GetObjResult, as we don't want to do that anti-pattern no more.

2010-10-18  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* tools/uniParse.tcl:   [Bug 3085863]: tclUniData was 9 years old;

	* generic/regcomp.c:    Fix comment
	* tests/utf.test:       Add some Unicode 6 testcases

2010-10-17  Alexandre Ferrieux  <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/info.n:           Document [info errorstack] faithfully.

2010-10-16  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (ReleaseDictIterator): Factored out the release
	of the bytecode-level dictionary iterator information so that the
	side-conditions on instruction issuing are simpler.

2010-10-15  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/reg_locale.c: [Bug 3085863]: tclUniData 9 years old: Updated
	* generic/tclUniData.c: Unicode tables to latest UnicodeData.txt,
	* tools/uniParse.tcl:   corresponding with Unicode 6.0 (except for
				out-of-range chars > 0xFFFF)

2010-10-13  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompile.c:	Alternative fix for [Bugs 467523,983660] where
	* generic/tclExecute.c:	sharing of empty scripts is allowed again.

2010-10-13  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/tclWinThrd.h: (removed) because it is just empty en used nowhere
	* win/tcl.dsp

2010-10-12  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* tools/uniClass.tcl:    Spacing and comments: let uniClass.tcl
	* generic/regc_locale.c: generation match better the current
				 (hand-modified) regc_locale.c
	* tools/uniParse.tcl:    Generate proper const qualifiers for
	* generic/tclUniData.c:  tclUniData.c

2010-10-12  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

	* unix/tclUnixSock.c (CreateClientSocket): [Bug 3084338]: Fix a
	memleak and refactor the calls to freeaddrinfo().

	* win/tclWinReg.c:
	* win/tclWinTest.c:   More cleanups
	* win/tclWinFile.c:   Add netapi32 to the link line, so we no longer
	* win/tcl.m4:         have to use LoadLibrary to access those functions.

	* win/configure:      (Re-generate with autoconf-2.59)
	* win/rules.vc        Update for VS10

	* tests/winPipe.test:	Test hygiene with makeFile and removeFile.

	* generic/tclCompile.c:	[Bug 3081065]: Prevent writing to the intrep

2010-10-02  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBCresume): [Bug 3079830]: Added invalidation
	of string representations of dictionaries in some cases.

2010-10-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (EvalStatsCmd): change 'evalstats' to return
	data to interp by default, or if given an arg, use that as filename to
	output to (accepts 'stdout' and 'stderr').  Fix output to print used
	inst count data.
	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: Change TclDumpMemoryInfo sig to allow objPtr
	* generic/tclInt.decls: as well as FILE* as output.
	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:

				[fconfigure] commands.

	* generic/tclInt.h:	Introduce TclCreateSocketAddress() as a
	* generic/tclIOSock.c:	replacement for the platform-dependent
	* unix/tclUnixSock.c:	TclpCreateSocketAddress() functions. Extend
	* unix/tclUnixChan.c:	the [socket] and [fconfigure] commands to
	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:	behave as proposed in TIP #162. This is the
	* win/tclWinSock.c:	core of what is required to support the use of
	* win/tclWinPort.h:	IPv6 sockets in Tcl.

	* compat/fake-rfc2553.c: A compat implementation of the APIs defined
	* compat/fake-rfc2553.h: in RFC-2553 (getaddrinfo() and friends) on
				 top of the existing gethostbyname() etc.
	* unix/configure.in:	 Test whether the fake-implementation is
	* unix/tcl.m4:		 needed.
	* unix/Makefile.in:	 Add a compile target for fake-rfc2553.

	* win/configure.in:	Allow cross-compilation by default.

	* tests/socket.test:	Improve the test suite to make more use of
	* tests/remote.tcl:	randomized ports to reduce interference with
				tests running in parallel or other services on
				the machine.

2010-09-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:    [Patch 3072080] (minus the itcl
	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:    update): a saner NRE.
	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:
	* generic/tclCompile.c:  This makes TclNRExecuteByteCode (ex TEBC)
	* generic/tclCompile.h:  to be a normal NRE citizen: it loses its
	* generic/tclExecute.c:  special status.
	* generic/tclInt.decls:  The logic flow within the BC engine is
	* generic/tclInt.h:      simplified considerably.
	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
	* generic/tclObj.c:
	* generic/tclProc.c:
	* generic/tclTest.c:

	* generic/tclVar.c: Use the macro HasLocalVars everywhere

2010-09-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclOOMethod.c (ProcedureMethodVarResolver): avoid code
	duplication, let the runtime var resolver call the compiled var
	resolver.

2010-09-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* tests/stringComp.test: improved string eq/cmp test coverage
	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): merge INST_STR_CMP and
	INST_STR_EQ/INST_STR_NEQ paths.  Speeds up eq/ne/[string eq] with
	obj-aware comparisons and eq/==/ne/!= with length equality check.

2010-09-24  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* tclWinsock.c: [Bug 3056775]: Fixed race condition between thread and
	internal co-thread access of a socket's structure because of the
	thread not using the socketListLock in TcpAccept(). Added
	documentation on how the module works to the top.

2010-09-23  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclDecls.h: Make Tcl_SetPanicProc and Tcl_GetStringResult
	* unix/tclAppInit.c:  callable without stubs, just as Tcl_SetVar.
	* win/tclAppInit.c:

2010-09-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:   Fix cases where value returned by
	* generic/tclEvent.c:   Tcl_GetReturnOptions() was leaked.
	* generic/tclMain.c:    Thanks to Jeff Hobbs for discovery of the
	anti-pattern to seek and destroy.

2010-09-23  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* unix/tclAppInit.c:  Make compilable with -DUNICODE (not activated
	* win/tclAppInit.c:   yet), many clean-ups in comments.

2010-09-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclExecute: [Bug 3072640]: One more DECACHE_STACK_INFO() was
	missing.

	* tests/execute.test: Added execute-10.3 for [Bug 3072640]. The test
	causes a mem failure.

	* generic/tclExecute: Protect all possible writes to ::errorInfo or
	::errorCode with DECACHE_STACK_INFO(), as they could run traces. The
	new calls to be protected are Tcl_ResetResult(), Tcl_SetErrorCode(),
	IllegalExprOperandType(), TclExprFloatError(). The error was triggered
	by [Patch 3072080].

2010-09-22  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/tcl.m4:		Add kernel32 to LIBS, so the link line for
	* win/configure:	mingw is exactly the same as for MSVC++.

	* win/tclWinFile.c:   Fix declaration after statement.
	* win/tcl.m4:         Add -Wdeclaration-after-statement, so this
	* win/configure:      mistake cannot happen again.
	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:   [Bug 3069278]: Breakage on head Windows
	* win/tclWinPipe.c:   triggered by install-tzdata, final fix

2010-09-20  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: Eliminate tclWinProcs->useWide everywhere, since

	* win/tclWinFile.c: Remove define of FINDEX_INFO_LEVELS as all
	supported versions of compilers should now have it.

	* unix/Makefile.in: Do not pass current build env vars when using
	NATIVE_TCLSH in targets.

2010-09-16  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclDecls.h:    Make Tcl_FindExecutable() work in UNICODE
	* generic/tclEncoding.c: compiles (windows-only) as well as ASCII.
	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Needed for [FRQ 491789]: setargv() doesn't
	support a unicode cmdline.

2010-09-15  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclBinary.c (TclAppendBytesToByteArray): [Bug 3067036]: Make
	sure we never try to double zero repeatedly to get a buffer size. Also
	added a check for sanity on the size of buffer being appended.

2010-09-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in:	Revise `make dist` target to tolerate the
	case of zero bundled packages.

2010-09-15  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* tools/genStubs.tcl:   [Patch 3034251]: Backport ttkGenStubs.tcl
	* generic/tcl.decls:    features to genStubs.tcl. Make the "generic"
	* generic/tclInt.decls: argument in the *.decls files optional

	* doc/glob.n: Fixed documentation ambiguity regarding the handling

	* library/safe.tcl (safe::AliasGlob): Fixed another problem, the

	* generic/tclExecute.c: traversable accross coro boundaries. Add the
	special coroutine CallFrame (partially reverting commit of

2010-04-30  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	was used for an ancient dummy reference to Tcl_LinkVar(), but that's
	already gone since 2002-05-29.

2010-04-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* compat/dirent2.h:	Include "tcl.h", not <tcl.h>, like everywhere

2010-04-28  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclInt.h (TclIsVarDirectUnsettable): Corrected flags so that
	deletion of traces is not optimized out...

	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExecuteExtendedBinaryMathOp)
	(TclCompareTwoNumbers,ExecuteExtendedUnaryMathOp,TclExecuteByteCode):
	[Patch 2981677]: Move the less common arithmetic operations (i.e.,
	exponentiation and operations on non-longs) out of TEBC for a big drop
	in the overall size of the stack frame for most code. Net effect on
	speed is minimal (slightly faster overall in tclbench). Also extended
	the number of places where TRESULT handling is replaced with a jump to
	dedicated code.

2010-04-27  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	no longer necessary.

2010-04-26  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* unix/tclLoadDl.c (FindSymbol): [Bug 2992295]: Added an explicit cast
	because auto-casting between function and non-function types is never
	naturally warning-free.

	* generic/tclStubInit.c:   Add a small amount of gcc-isms (with #ifdef
	* generic/tclOOStubInit.c: guards) to ensure that warnings are issued
	when these files are older than the various *.decls files.

2010-04-25  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:    Add unsupported [yieldm] command. Credit

2010-04-15  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/tclWinPort.h:       Move inclusion of <tchar.h> from
	* generic/tcl.h:          tclPlatDecls.h to tclWinPort.h, where it
	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h: belongs. Add fallback in tcl.h, so TCHAR is
				  available in win32 always.

2010-04-15  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* doc/try.n: [Bug 2987551]: Fix typo.

2010-04-14  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* library/platform/platform.tcl: Linux platform identification:
	* library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: Check /lib64 for existence of files
	* unix/Makefile.in: matching libc* before accepting it as base
	* win/Makefile.in:  directory. This can happen on weirdly installed
	32bit systems which have an empty or partially filled /lib64 without

2010-04-13  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/tclWinPort.h: Fix [Patch 2986105]: conditionally defining

	* win/tclWinLoad.c: Fix gcc warning: comparison of unsigned expression
	>= 0 is always true

2010-04-08  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c (TclSubstCompile): If the first token does
	not result in a *guaranteed* push of a Tcl_Obj on the stack, we must
	push an empty object. Otherwise it is possible to get to a 'concat1'
	or 'done' without enough values on the stack, resulting in a crash.
	Thanks to Joe Mistachkin for identifying a script that could trigger
	this case.

	* generic/tclResult.c:	further optimization, making use of indexType.
	* generic/tclZlib.c:    [Bug 2979399]: uninitialized value troubles

2010-03-30  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	TIP #362 IMPLEMENTATION

	* win/tclWinReg.c: [Patch 2960976]: Apply patch from Damon Courtney to
	* tests/registry.test:	allow the registry command to be told to work
	* win/Makefile.in:	with both 32-bit and 64-bit registries. Bump
	* win/configure.in:	version of registry package to 1.3.
	* win/makefile.bc:
	* win/makefile.vc:
	* win/configure:	autoconf-2.59

2010-03-29  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* unix/tcl.m4:            Only test for -visibility=hidden with gcc
	                          (Second remark in [Bug 2976508])
	* unix/configure:         regen

2010-03-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:       Fix array overrun in test format-1.12
	caught by valgrind testing.

2010-03-27  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclInt.h:	[FRQ 2974744]: share exception codes
	* generic/tclResult.c:	(ObjType?)
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
	* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c:

2010-03-26  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c: [Bug 2976508]: Tcl HEAD fails on HP-UX

2010-03-25  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TclUnixCopyFile): [Bug 2976504]: Corrected
	number of arguments to fstatfs() call.

	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c, macosx/tclMacOSXFCmd.c:
	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: Reduce the level of ifdeffery in the
	functions of these files to improve readability. They need to be
	audited for whether complexity can be removed based on the minimum
	supported version of OSX, but that requires a real expert.

2010-03-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclResult.c:  [Bug 2383005]: Revise [return -errorcode] so
	* tests/result.test:    that it rejects illegal non-list values.

2010-03-24  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclOOInfo.c (InfoObjectMethodTypeCmd)
	(InfoClassMethodTypeCmd): Added introspection of method types so that
	it is possible to find this info out without using errors.
	* generic/tclOOMethod.c (procMethodType): Now that introspection can
	reveal the name of method types, regularize the name of normal methods
	to be the name of the definition type used to create them.

	* tests/async.test (async-4.*): Reduce obscurity of these tests by
	putting the bulk of the code for them inside the test body with the
	help of [apply].

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TryPostBody, TryPostHandler): Make sure that the
	[try] command does not trap unwinding due to limits.

2010-03-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	[Bug 2973361]: Revised fix for computing
	indices of script arguments to [try].

2010-03-23  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:      Make error message in "try" implementation
	* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c: exactly the same as the one in "return"
	* tests/error.test:
	* libtommath/mtests/mpi.c: Single "const" addition

2010-03-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	[Bug 2973361]: Compute the correct integer
	values to identify the argument indices of the various script
	arguments to [try]. Passing in -1 led to invalid memory reads.

2010-03-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* doc/exec.n: Make it a bit clearer that there is an option to run a
	pipeline in the background.

	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd):		Lift the restriction
	* generic/tclIO.c (TclCopyChannel, CopyData):	on the [fcopy] command
	* generic/tclIO.h (CopyState):			that forced it to only
	copy up to 2GB per script-level callback. Now it is anything that can
	fit in a (signed) 64-bit integer. Problem identified by Frederic
	Bonnet on comp.lang.tcl. Note that individual low-level reads and
	writes are still smaller as the optimal buffer size is smaller.

2010-03-20  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/stub16.c:         Don't hide that we use the ASCII API here.
	                        (does someone still use that?)
	* win/tclWinPipe.c:     2 unnecessary type casts.

2010-03-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c (TclCompileThrowCmd): Added compilation for
	the [throw] command.

2010-03-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclListObj.c:	[Bug 2971669]: Prevent in overflow trouble in
	* generic/tclTestObj.c:	ListObjReplace operations. Thanks to kbk for
	* tests/listObj.test:	fix and test.

2010-03-18  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c (IssueTryFinallyInstructions):
	[Bug 2971921]: Corrected jump so that it doesn't skip into the middle
	of an instruction! Tightened the instruction issuing. Moved endCatch
	calls closer to their point that they guard, ensuring correct ordering
	of result values.

2010-03-17  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclIORTrans.c (ReflectInput, ReflectOutput)
	(ReflectSeekWide): [Bug 2921116]: Added missing TclEventuallyFree
	calls for preserved ReflectedTransform* structures. Reworked
	ReflectInput to preserve the structure for its whole life, not only in
	InvokeTclMethod.

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetsObj): [Bug 2921116]: Regenerate topChan,
	may have been changed by a self-modifying transformation.

	* tests/ioTrans/test (iortrans-4.8, iortrans-4.9, iortrans-5.11)
	(iortrans-7.4, iortrans-8.3): New test cases.

2010-03-16  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* compat/zlib/*:	Upgrade zlib to version 1.2.4.
	* win/makefile.vc:
	* unix/Makefile.in:
	* win/tclWinChan.c:	Don't cast away "const" without reason.

2010-03-12  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/makefile.vc: [Bug 2967340]: Static build was failing.
	* win/.cvsignore:

2010-03-10  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclTest.c:	Remove unnecessary '&' decoration for
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:	function pointers
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:	Double declaration of TclNativeDupInternalRep
	* unix/tclIOUtil.c:
	* unix/dltest/.cvsignore: Ignore *.so here

2010-03-09  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclIORChan.c: [Bug 2936225]: Thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux
	* doc/refchan.n:    <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net> for debugging and
	* tests/ioCmd.test: fixing the problem. It is the write-side
	equivalent to the bug fixed 2009-08-06.

2010-03-07  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclTest.c:	  Test that tclOO stubs are present in stub
				  library
	* generic/tclOOMethod.c:  Applied missing part of [Patch 2961556]
	* win/tclWinInt.h:	  Change all tclWinProcs signatures to use
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:	  TCHAR* in stead of WCHAR*. This is meant
	* win/tclWinDde.c:	  as preparation to make [Enh 2965056]
	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:	  possible at all.
	* win/tclWinFile.c:
	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
	* win/tclWinSock.c:

2010-03-06  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclStubLib.c:	Remove presence of tclTomMathStubsPtr here.
	* generic/tclTest.c:	Test that tommath stubs are present in stub
				library.

2010-03-05  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclIORTrans.c (ForwardProc): [Bug 2964425]: When cleaning
	the stables, it is sometimes necessary to do more than the minimum. In
	this case, rationalizing the variables for a forwarded limit? method
	required removing an extra Tcl_DecrRefCount too.

	* generic/tclOO.h, generic/tclOOInt.h: [Patch 2961556]: Change TclOO
	to use the same style of function typedefs as Tcl, as this is about
	the last chance to get this right.

	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
	Source code that uses function typedefs from TclOO will need to update
	variables and argument definitions so that pointers to the function
	values are used instead. Binary compatibility is not affected.

	* generic/*.c, generic/tclInt.h, unix/*.c, macosx/*.c: Applied results
	of doing a Code Audit. Principal changes:
	  * Use do { ... } while (0) in macros
	  * Avoid shadowing one local variable with another
	  * Use clearer 'foo.bar++;' instead of '++foo.bar;' where result not
	    required (i.e., semantically equivalent); clarity is increased
	    because it is bar that is incremented, not foo.
	  * Follow Engineering Manual rules on spacing and declarations

2010-03-04  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclOO.c (ObjectRenamedTrace): [Bug 2962664]: Add special
	handling so that when the class of classes is deleted, so is the class
	of objects. Immediately.

	* generic/tclOOInt.h (ROOT_CLASS): Add new flag for specially marking
	the root class. Simpler and more robust than the previous technique.

2010-03-04  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclGetDate.y:    3 unnecessary MODULE_SCOPE
	* generic/tclDate.c:       symbols
	* generic/tclStubLib.c:    Split tommath stub lib
	* generic/tclTomMathStubLib.c:  in separate file.
	* win/makefile.bc:
	* win/Makefile.in:
	* win/makefile.vc:
	* win/tcl.dsp:
	* unix/Makefile.in:
	* unix/tcl.m4:          Cygwin only gives warning
	* unix/configure:       using -fvisibility=hidden
	* compat/strncasecmp.c: A few more const's
	* compat/strtod.c:
	* compat/strtoul.c:

2010-03-03  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

	* doc/refchan.n: Followup to ChangeLog entry 2009-10-07
	(generic/tclIORChan.c). Fixed the documentation to explain that errno
	numbers are operating system dependent, and reworked the associated
	example.

2010-03-02  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* unix/tcl.m4:     [FRQ 2959069]: Support for -fvisibility=hidden
	* unix/configure   (regenerated with autoconf-2.59)

2010-03-01  Alexandre Ferrieux  <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tclUnixSock.c: Refrain from a possibly lengthy reverse-DNS
	lookup on 0.0.0.0 when calling [fconfigure -sockname] on an
	universally-bound (default) server socket.

	* generic/tclIndexObj.c: fix [AT 86258]: special-casing of empty
	tables when generating error messages for [::tcl::prefix match].

2010-02-28  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: More additions of {TCL LOOKUP} error-code
	generation to various subcommands of [info] as part of long-term
	project to classify all Tcl's generated errors.

2010-02-28  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclStubInit.c: [Bug 2959713]: Link error with gcc 4.1

2010-02-27  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (StringFirstCmd, StringLastCmd): [Bug 2960021]:
	Only search for the needle in the haystack when the needle isn't
	larger than the haystack. Prevents an odd crash from sometimes
	happening when things get mixed up (a common programming error).

	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main): [Bug 801429]: Factor out the holding
	of the client-installed main loop function into thread-specific data.

	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
	Code that previously tried to set the main loop from another thread
	will now fail. On the other hand, there is a fairly high probability
	that such programs would have been failing before due to the lack of
	any kind of inter-thread memory barriers guarding accesses to this
	part of Tcl's state.

2010-02-26  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:   Split this file into two pieces to make it
	* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c: easier to work with. It's still two very
				   long files even after the split.

2010-02-26  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

	* doc/safe.n: Name the installed file after the command it documents.
	Use "Safe Tcl" instead of the "Safe Base", "Safe Tcl" mixture.

2010-02-26  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in (NATIVE_TCLSH): Added this variable to allow for
	better control of what tclsh to use for various scripts when doing
	cross compiling. An imperfect solution, but works.

	* unix/installManPage: Remap non-alphanumeric sequences in filenames
	to single underscores (especially colons).

2010-02-26  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/zlib.test: Add tests for [Bug 2818131] which was crashing with
	mismatched zlib algorithms used in combination with gets. This issue
	has been fixed by Andreas's last commit.

2010-02-25  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclHash.c:	[FRQ 2958832]: Further speed-up of the
	* generic/tclLiteral.c:	ouster-hash function.
	* generic/tclObj.c:
	* generic/tclCkalloc.c:	Eliminate various unnecessary (ClientData)
	* generic/tclTest.c:	type casts.
	* generic/tclTestObj.c:
	* generic/tclTestProcBodyObj.c:
	* unix/tclUnixTest.c:
	* unix/tclUnixTime.c:
	* unix/tclXtTest.c:

2010-02-24  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclDictObj.c (SetDictFromAny): Prevent the list<->dict
	* generic/tclListObj.c (SetListFromAny): conversion code from taking
	too many liberties. Stops loss of duplicate keys in some scenarios.
	Many thanks to Jean-Claude Wippler for finding this.

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Reduce ifdef-fery and
	size of activation record. More variables shared across instructions
	than before.

	* doc/socket.n: [Bug 2957688]: Clarified that [socket -server] works
	with a command prefix. Extended example to show this in action.

2010-02-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclZlib.c (ZlibTransformInput): [Bug 2762041]: Added a hack
	to work around the general problem, early EOF recognition based on the
	base-channel, instead of the data we have ready for reading in the
	transform. Long-term we need a proper general fix (likely tracking EOF
	on each level of the channel stack), with attendant complexity.
	Furthermore, Z_BUF_ERROR can be ignored, and must be when feeding the
	zlib code with single characters.

2010-02-22  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:   Remove unnecessary EXTERN's, which already are
	                        in the global stub table.
	* unix/configure.in:    Use @EXEEXT@ in stead of @EXT_SUFFIX@
	* unix/tcl.m4:
	* unix/Makefile.in:     Use -DBUILD_tcl for CYGWIN
	* unix/configure:       (regenerated)
	* unix/dltest/pkg*.c:   Use EXTERN to control CYGWIN exported symbols
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:   Remove some unnecessary type casts.
	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
	* generic/tclTest.c:
	* generic/tclUtil.c:

2010-02-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/regexp.test: Add test cases back ported from Jacl regexp work.

2010-02-21  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclDate.c:    Some more const tables.
	* generic/tclGetDate.y:
	* generic/regc_lex.c:
	* generic/regerror.c:
	* generic/tclStubLib.c:
	* generic/tclBasic.c:   Fix [Bug 2954959] expr abs(0.0) is -0.0
	* tests/expr.test:

2010-02-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringLenCmd): Make [string length]
	of a constant string be handled better (i.e., handle backslashes too).

2010-02-19  Stuart Cassoff  <stwo@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tcl.m4: Correct compiler/linker flags for threaded builds on
	OpenBSD.
	* configure: (regenerated).

2010-02-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* unix/installManPage: [Bug 2954638]: Correct behaviour of manual page
	installer. Also added armouring to check that assumptions about the
	initial state are actually valid (e.g., look for existing input file).

2010-02-17  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey):	Restore these hash functions
	* generic/tclLiteral.c (HashString):	to use the classic algorithm.
	* generic/tclObj.c (TclHashObjKey):	Community felt normal case
	speed to be more important than resistance to malicious cases. For
	now, hashes that need to deal with the malicious case can use a custom
	hash table and install their own hash function, though that is not
	functionality exposed to the script level.

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictUpdateCmd): Stack depth must be
	correctly described when compiling a body to prevent crashes in some
	debugging modes.

2010-02-16  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclInt.h: Change order of various struct members,
	fixing potential binary incompatibility with Tcl 8.5

2010-02-16  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* unix/configure.in, generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_Stat): Updated so that
	we do not assume that all unix systems have the POSIX blkcnt_t type,
	since OpenBSD apparently does not.

	* generic/tclLiteral.c (HashString): Missed updating to FNV in one
	place; the literal table (a copy of the hash table code...)

2010-02-15  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* tools/genStubs.tcl:   Reverted earlier rename from tcl*Stubs to
	* generic/tclBasic.c:   tcl*ConstStubs, it's not necessary at all.
	* generic/tclOO.c:
	* generic/tclTomMathInterface.c:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c: (regenerated)
	* generic/tclOOStubInit.c: (regenerated)
	* generic/tclEnsemble.c:Fix signed-unsigned mismatch
	* win/tclWinInt.h:      make tclWinProcs "const"
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:
	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:     Eliminate all internal Tcl_WinUtfToTChar
	* win/tclWinFile.c:     and Tcl_WinTCharToUtf calls, needed
	* win/tclWinInit.c:     for mslu support.
	* win/tclWinLoad.c:
	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
	* win/tclWinSerial.c:
	* win/.cvsignore:
	* compat/unicows/readme.txt:  [FRQ 2819611]: Add first part of MSLU
	* compat/unicows/license.txt: support.
	* compat/unicows/unicows.lib:

2010-02-15  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclOO.c (AllocObject, SquelchedNsFirst, ObjectRenamedTrace):
	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_DeleteNamespace): [Bug 2950259]: Revised
	the namespace deletion code to provide an additional internal callback
	that gets triggered early enough in namespace deletion to allow TclOO
	destructors to run sanely. Adjusted TclOO to take advantage of this,
	so making tearing down an object by killing its namespace appear to
	work seamlessly, which is needed for Itcl. (Note that this is not a
	feature that will ever be backported to 8.5, and it remains not a
	recommended way of deleting an object.)

2010-02-13  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSwitchCmd): Divided the [switch]
	compiler into three pieces (after the model of [try]): a parser, an
	instruction-issuer for chained tests, and an instruction-issuer for
	jump tables.

	* generic/tclEnsemble.c: Split the ensemble engine out into its own
	file rather than keeping it mashed together with the namespace code.

2010-02-12  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/tcl.m4:		Use -pipe for gcc on win32
	* win/configure:	(mingw/cygwin) (regenerated)
	* win/.cvsignore:	Add .lib, .exp and .res here

2010-02-11  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/list.test: Add tests for explicit \0 in a string argument to
	the list command.

2010-02-11  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_OpenObjCmd): [Bug 2949740]: Make sure that
	we do not try to put a NULL pipeline channel into binary mode.

2010-02-11  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	[Bug 2826551, Patch 2948425]: Assorted regexp bugs related to -all,
	-line and -start options and newlines.
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): If -offset is given, treat it
	as the start of the line if the previous character was a newline. Fix
	nasty edge case where a zero length match would not advance the index.
	* tests/regexp.test: Add regression tests back ported from Jacl.
	Checks for a number of issues related to -line and newline handling. A
	few of tests were broken before the patch and continue to be broken,
	marked as knownBug.

2010-02-11  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclOO.c (ObjectRenamedTrace): [Bug 2949397]: Prevent
	destructors from running on the two core class objects when the whole
	interpreter is being destroyed.

2010-02-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileTryCmd, IssueTryInstructions)
	(IssueTryFinallyInstructions): Added compiler for the [try] command.
	It is split into three pieces that handle the parsing of the tokens,
	the issuing of instructions for finally-free [try], and the issuing of
	instructions for [try] with finally; there are enough differences
	between the all cases that it was easier to split the code rather than
	have a single function do the whole thing.

2010-02-09  Alexandre Ferrieux  <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tools/genStubs.tcl: Remove dependency on 8.5+ idiom "in" in
	expressions.

2010-02-08  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclZlib.c (Tcl_ZlibDeflate, Tcl_ZlibInflate): [Bug 2947783]:
	Make sure that the result is an unshared object before appending to it
	so that nothing crashes if it is shared (use in Tcl code was not
	affected by this, but use from C was an issue).

2010-02-06  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey):	Replace Tcl's crusty old hash
	* generic/tclObj.c (TclHashObjKey):	function with the algorithm
	due to Fowler, Noll and Vo. This is slightly faster (assuming the
	presence of hardware multiply) and has somewhat better distribution
	properties of the resulting hash values. Note that we only ever used
	the 32-bit version of the FNV algorithm; Tcl's core hash engine
	assumes that hash values are simple unsigned ints.

	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
	Code that depends on hash iteration order (especially tests) may well
	be disrupted by this. Where a definite order is required, the fix is
	usually to just sort the results after extracting them from the hash.
	Where this is insufficient, the code that has ceased working was
	always wrong and was only working by chance.

2010-02-05  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileErrorCmd): Added compilation of the
	[error] command. No new bytecodes.

2010-02-05  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* tools/genStubs.tcl:	Follow-up to earlier commit today:
	          Eliminate the need for an extra Stubs Pointer for adressing
	          a static stub table: Just change the exported table from
	          static to MODULE_SCOPE.
	* generic/tclBasic.c
	* generic/tclOO.c
	* generic/tclTomMathInterface.c
	* generic/tcl*Decls.h (regenerated)
	* generic/tclStubInit.c (regenerated)
	* generic/tclOOStubInit.c (regenerated)
	* generic/tclTest.c (minor formatting)

2010-02-05  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclVar.c: More consistency in errorcode generation.

	* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_Destroy): Rewrote to be NRE-aware
	when calling destructors. Note that there is no guarantee that
	destructors will always be called in an NRE context; that's a feature
	of the 'destroy' method only.

	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Add 'const' to many function-internal vars
	that are never pointing to things that are written to.

2010-02-05  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* tools/genStubs.tcl:	Follow-up to [2010-01-29] commit:
		prevent space within stub table function parameters if the
		parameter type is a pointer.
	* win/tclWinInt.h:	Minor Formatting
	* generic/tcl.h:	VOID -> void and other formatting
	* generic/tclInt.h:	Minor formatting
	* generic/tclInt.decls: Change signature of TclNRInterpProcCore,
	* generic/tclOO.decls:	and TclOONewProc(Instance|)MethodEx,
	* generic/tclProc.c:	indicating that errorProc is a function,
	* generic/tclOOMethod.c:pointer, and other formatting
	* generic/tcl*Decls.h:	(regenerated)
	* generic/tclVar.c:	gcc warning(line 3703): 'pattern' may be used
				uninitialized in this function
				gcc warning(line 3788): 'matched' may be used
				uninitialized in this function

2010-02-04  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclVar.c: Added more use of error-codes and reduced the
	stack overhead of older interfaces.
	(ArrayGetCmd): Stop silly crash when using a trivial pattern due to
	error in conversion to ensemble.
	(ArrayNamesCmd): Use the object RE interface for faster matching.

2010-02-03  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclVar.c (ArrayUnsetCmd): More corrections.

2010-02-02  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclVar.c: Turned the [array] command into a true ensemble.

	* generic/tclOO.c (AllocObject, MyDeleted): A slightly faster way to
	handle the deletion of [my] is with a standard delete callback. This
	is because it doesn't require an additional memory allocation during
	object creation. Also reduced the amount of string manipulation
	performed during object creation to further streamline memory
	handling; this is not backported to the 8.5 package as it breaks a
	number of abstractions.

	* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_Destroy): [Bug 2944404]: Do not
	crash when a destructor deletes the object that is executing that
	destructor.

2010-02-01  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): [Bug 2939073]: Stop the [array
	unset] command from having dangling pointer problems when an unset
	trace deletes the element that is going to be processed next. Many
	thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux for the bulk of this fix.

	* generic/regexec.c (ccondissect, crevdissect): [Bug 2942697]: Rework
	these functions so that certain pathological patterns are matched much
	more rapidly. Many thanks to Tom Lane for dianosing this issue and
	providing an initial patch.

2010-01-30  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCompile.c (tclInstructionTable):	Bytecode instructions
	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileUnsetCmd):	to allow the [unset]
	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode):	command to be compiled
	with the compiler being a complete compilation for all compile-time
	decidable uses.

	* generic/tclVar.c (TclPtrUnsetVar): Var reference version of the code
	to unset a variable. Required for INST_UNSET bytecodes.

2010-01-29  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tcl.h: [Bug 2942081]: Reverted Tcl_ThreadDataKey type change
				Changed some Tcl_CallFrame fields from "char *"
				to "void *". This saves unnecessary space on
				Cray's (and it's simply more correct).

	* tools/genStubs.tcl:	No longer generate a space after "*" and
				immediately after a function name, so the
				format of function definitions in tcl*Decls.h
				match all other tcl*.h header files.
	* doc/ParseArgs.3:	Change Tcl_ArgvFuncProc, Tcl_ArgvGenFuncProc
	* generic/tcl.h:	and GetFrameInfoValueProc to be function
	* generic/tclInt.h:	definitions, not pointers, for consistency
	* generic/tclOOInt.h:	with all other Tcl function definitions.
	* generic/tclIndexObj.c:
	* generic/regguts.h:	CONST -> const
	* generic/tcl.decls:	Formatting
	* generic/tclTomMath.decls: Formatting
	* generic/tclDecls.h:	(regenerated)
	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
	* generic/tclOODecls.h:
	* generic/tclOOIntDecls.h:
	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:
	* generic/tclTomMathDecls.h:

2010-01-28  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_Destroy): Move the execution of
	destructors to a point where they can produce an error. This will not
	work for all destructors, but it does mean that more failing calls of
	them will be caught.
	* generic/tclOO.c (AllocObject, MyDeletedTrace, ObjectRenamedTrace):
	(ObjectNamespaceDeleted): Stop various ways of getting at commands
	with dangling pointers to the object. Also increases the reliability
	of calling of destructors (though most destructors won't benefit; when
	an object is deleted namespace-first, its destructors are not run in a
	nice state as the namespace is partially gone).

2010-01-25  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclOOStubInit.c:   Remove double includes (which causes a
	* generic/tclOOStubLib.c:    warning in CYGWIN compiles)
	* unix/.cvsignore:	     add confdefs.h

2010-01-22  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* doc/proc.n: [Bug 1970629]: Define a bit better what the current
	namespace of a procedure is.

2010-01-22  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclInt.decls:	     Don't use DWORD and HANDLE here.
	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
	* generic/tcl.h:	     Revert [2009-12-21] change, instead
	* generic/tclPort.h:	     resolve the CYGWIN inclusion problems by
	* win/tclWinPort.h:	     re-arranging the inclusions at other
				     places.
	* win/tclWinError.c
	* win/tclWinPipe.c
	* win/tcl.m4:		     Make cygwin configuration error into
	* win/configure.in:	     a warning: CYGWIN compilation works
	* win/configure:	     although there still are test failures.

2010-01-22  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Improve error code
	generation from some of the tailcall-related bits of TEBC.

	update] are doing with variables.

2010-01-18  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (CreateScriptRecord): [Bug 2918110]: Initialize
	the EventScriptRecord (esPtr) fully before handing it to
	Tcl_CreateChannelHandler for registration. Otherwise a reflected
	channel calling 'chan postevent' (== Tcl_NotifyChannel) in its
	'watchProc' will cause the function 'TclChannelEventScriptInvoker'
	to be run on an uninitialized structure.

2010-01-18  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendFormatToObj): [Bug 2932421]: Stop
	the [format] command from causing argument objects to change their
	internal representation when not needed. Thanks to Alexandre Ferrieux
	for this fix.

2010-01-13  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl:	  More factoring out of special cases
	* tools/tcltk-man2html-utils.tcl: so that they are described outside
	the engine file. Now there is only one real set of special cases in
	there, to handle the .SO/.OP/.SE directives.

	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: Make the generation of the list of things
	to process the docs from simpler and more flexible. Also factored out
	the lists of special cases.

2010-01-10  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-51.17): [Bug 2898722]: Demonstrate
	that there are still bugs in the handling of resolution epochs. This
	bug is not yet fixed.

	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl:	  Split the man->html converter into

	Also made it much less verbose in its printed messages by default.

2010-01-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: Added basic support for building the docs
	for contributed packages into the HTML versions. Prompted by question
	on Tcler's Chat by Tom Krehbiel. Note that there remain problems in
	the documentation generated due to errors in the contributed docs.

2010-01-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclPathObj.c (TclPathPart):   [Bug 2918610]: Correct

2009-12-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): Grouping "slow" variables into structs,
	to reduce register pressure and help the compiler with variable
	allocation.

2009-12-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c: Start cleaning the TEBC stables
	* generic/tclInt.h:

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:   [Bug 2910094]: Fix by aku
	* tests/coroutine.test:

	* generic/tclBasic.c: Arrange for [tailcall] to be created with the
	other builtins: was being created in a separate call, leftover from
	pre-tip days.

2009-12-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStrToD.c: [Bug 2902010]: Correct conditional compile
	directives to better detect the toolchain that needs extra work for
	proper underflow treatment instead of merely detecting the MIPS
	platform.

2009-12-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c: [Patch 2910056]: Add ::tcl::unsupported::yieldTo
	* generic/tclInt.h:

2009-12-07  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TryPostBody): [Bug 2910044]: Close off memory
	leak in [try] when a variable-free handler clause is present.

2009-12-05  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:   Small changes for clarity in tailcall
	* generic/tclExecute.c: and coroutine code.
	* tests/coroutine.test:

	* tests/tailcall.test: Remove some old unused crud; improved the
	stack depth tests.

	* generic/tclBasic.c:  Fixed things so that you can tailcall
	* generic/tclNamesp.c: properly out of a coroutine.
	* tests/tailcall.test:

	* generic/tclInterp.c: Fixed tailcalls for same-interp aliases (no
	test)

2009-12-03  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* library/safe.tcl (::safe::AliasEncoding): Make the safe encoding
	command behave more closely like the unsafe one (for safe ops).
	(::safe::AliasGlob): [Bug 2906841]: Clamp down on evil use of [glob]
	in safe interpreters.
	* tests/safe.test: Rewrite to use tcltest2 better.

2009-12-02  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* tools/genStubs.tcl:	Add support for win32 CALLBACK functions and
	remove obsolete "emitStubs" and "genStubs" functions.
	* win/Makefile.in:	Use tcltest86.dll for all tests, and add
	.PHONY rules to preemptively stop trouble that plagued Tk from hitting
	Tcl too.

2009-11-30  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tcl.h:	Don't use EXPORT for Tcl_InitStubs
	* win/Makefile.in:	Better dependancies in case of static build.

2009-11-30  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* doc/Tcl.n: [Bug 2901433]: Improved description of expansion to
	mention that it is using list syntax.

2009-11-27  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* win/tclAppInit.c (Tcl_AppInit): [Bug 2902965]: Reverted Jan's change
	that added a call to Tcl_InitStubs. The 'tclsh' and 'tcltest' programs
	are providers, not consumers of the Stubs table, and should not link
	with the Stubs library, but only with the main Tcl library. (In any
	case, the presence of Tcl_InitStubs broke the build.)

2009-11-27  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* doc/BoolObj.3, doc/Class.3, doc/CrtChannel.3, doc/DictObj.3:

	* doc/Method.3, doc/NRE.3, doc/ObjectType.3, doc/PkgRequire.3:
	* doc/SetChanErr.3, doc/SetResult.3: [Patch 2903921]: Many small
	spelling fixes from Larry Virden.

	BUMP VERSION OF TCLOO TO 0.6.2. Too many people need accumulated small
	versions and bugfixes, so the version-bump removes confusion.

	* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_LinkVar): [Bug 2903811]: Remove
	unneeded restrictions on who can usefully call this method.

2009-11-26  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in: Add .PHONY rules and documentation to preemptively
	stop trouble that plagued Tk from hitting Tcl too, and to make the
	overall makefile easier to understand. Some reorganization too to move
	related rules closer together.

2009-11-26  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/Makefile.in:	[Bug 2902965]: Fix stub related changes that

	* unix/tclAppInit.c
	* unix/configure:	(regenerated)

2009-11-25  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* win/Makefile.in:	Added a 'test-tcl' rule that is identical to
	'test' except that it does not go spelunking in 'pkgs/'. (This rule
	has existed in unix/Makefile.in for some time.)

2009-11-25  Stuart Cassoff  <stwo@users.sf.net>

	* unix/configure.in:	[Patch 2892871]: Remove unneeded
	* unix/tcl.m4:		AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE and use
	* unix/tclConfig.h.in:	AC_CHECK_MEMBERS([struct stat.st_blksize])
	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:	instead of AC_STRUCT_ST_BLKSIZE.
	* unix/configure:	Regenerated with autoconf-2.59.

2009-11-24  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* library/tclIndex: Manually redone the part of tclIndex dealing with
	safe.tcl and tm.tcl. This part passes the testsuite. Note that
	automatic regeneration of this part is not possible because it wrongly
	puts 'safe::Setup' on the list, and wrongly leaves out 'safe::Log'
	which is more dynamically created than the generator expects.

	Further note that the file "clock.tcl" is explicitly loaded by
	"init.tcl", the first time the clock command is invoked. The relevant
	code can be found at line 172ff, roughly, the definition of the
	procedure 'clock'. This means none of the procedures of this file
	belong in the tclIndex. Another indicator that automatic regeneration
	of tclIndex is ill-advised.

2009-11-24  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclOO.c (FinalizeAlloc, Tcl_NewObjectInstance):
	[Bug 2903011]: Make it an error to destroy an object in a constructor,
	and also make sure that an object is not deleted twice in the error
	case.

2009-11-24  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/fCmd.test: [Bug 2893771]: Teach [file stat] to handle locked
	* win/tclWinFile.c: files so that [file exists] no longer lies.

2009-11-23  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-30.1): Changed registry location of the 'My
	Documents' folder to the one that's correct for Windows 2000, XP,
	Server 2003, Vista, Server 2008, and Windows 7. (See
	http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310746)

2009-11-23  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/tclWinDde.c:	#undef STATIC_BUILD, in order to make sure
	* win/tclWinReg.c:	that Xxxxx_Init is always exported even when
	* generic/tclTest.c:	Tcl is built static (otherwise we cannot
				create a DLL).
	* generic/tclThreadTest.c: Make all functions static, except
				TclThread_Init.
	* tests/fCmd.test:	Enable fCmd-30.1 when registry is available.
	* win/tcl.m4:		Fix ${SHLIB_LD_LIBS} definition, fix conflicts

	* win/configure.in:	Between static libraries and import library on
				windows.
	* win/configure:	(regenerated)
	* win/makefile.vc:	Add stub library to necessary link lines.

2009-11-23  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (NewTestThread): [Bug 2901803]: Further
	machinations to get NewTestThread actually to launch the thread, not
	just compile.

2009-11-22  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (NewTestThread): [Bug 2901803]: Fix small
	error in function naming which blocked a threaded test build.

2009-11-19  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/Makefile.in:	Create tcltest86.dll as dynamic Tcltest
				package.
	* generic/tclTest.c:	Remove extraneous prototypes, follow-up to

				inconsistent state.
	* unix/tcl.m4:		[Patch 2883533]: tcl.m4 support for Haiku OS
	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.59

2009-11-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

2009-11-17  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyParseMode): Partial undo of Donal's tidy-up
	from a few days ago (2009-11-9, not in ChangeLog). It seems that
	strchr is apparently a macro on AIX and reacts badly to pre-processor
	directives in its arguments.

2009-11-16  Alexandre Ferrieux  <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclEncoding.c:  [Bug 2891556]: Fix and improve test to

	* tests/encoding.test:    Add tcltest support for finalization.

2009-11-15  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinDde.c: Avoid gcc compiler warning by explicitly casting
	DdeCreateStringHandle argument.

2009-11-12  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (CopyData): [Bug 2895565]: Dropped bogosity which
	* tests/io.test: used the number of _written_ bytes or character to
	update the counters for the read bytes/characters. New test io-53.11.
	This is a forward port from the 8.5 branch.

2009-11-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclClock.c (TclClockInit):    Do not create [clock] support

2009-11-11  Alexandre Ferrieux  <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIO.c: Fix [Bug 2888099] (close discards ENOSPC error)
	                   by saving the errno from the first of two
	                   FlushChannel()s. Uneasy to test; might need
	                   specific channel drivers. Four-hands with aku.

2009-11-10  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/winFCmd.test: Cleanup directories that have been set chmod
	000. On Windows7 and Vista we really have no access and these were
	getting left behind.
	A few tests were changed to reflect the intent of the test where
	setting a directory chmod 000 should prevent any modification. This
	restriction was ignored on XP but is honoured on Vista

2009-11-10  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclBasic.c: Plug another leak in TCL_EVAL_DIRECT evaluation.
	Forward port from Tcl 8.5 branch, change by Don Porter.

	* generic/tclObj.c: [Bug 2895323]: Plug memory leak in
	TclContinuationsEnter(). Forward port from Tcl 8.5 branch, change by
	Don Porter.

2009-11-09  Stuart Cassoff  <stwo@users.sf.net>

	* win/README: [bug 2459744]: Removed outdated Msys + Mingw info.

2009-11-09  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjEx): Moved the #280 decrement of
	refCount for the file path out of the branch after the whole
	conditional, closing a memory leak. Added clause on structure type to
	prevent seg.faulting. Forward port from valgrinding the Tcl 8.5

	* tests/info.test: Resolve ambiguous resolution of variable "res".
	Forward port from 8.5

2009-11-08  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* doc/string.n (bytelength): Noted that this command is not a good
	thing to use, and suggested a better alternatve. Also factored out the
	description of the indices into its own section.

2009-11-07  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/fCmd.test: [Bug 2891026]: Exclude tests using chmod 555
	directories on vista and win7. The current user has access denied and
	so cannot rename the directory without admin privileges.

2009-11-06  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* library/safe.tcl (::safe::Setup): Added documentation of the
	contents of the state array. Also killed the 'InterpState' procedure
	with its upleveled variable/upvar combination, and replaced all uses
	with 'namespace upvar'.

2009-11-05  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* library/safe.tcl: A series of patches which bring the SafeBase up to
	date with code guidelines, Tcl's features, also eliminating a number
	of inefficiencies along the way.
	(1) Changed all procedure names to be fully qualified.
	(2) Moved the procedures out of the namespace eval. Kept their
	locations. IOW, broke the namespace eval apart into small sections not
	covering the procedure definitions.
	(3) Reindented the code. Just lots of whitespace changes.
	Functionality unchanged.
	(4) Moved the multiple namespace eval's around. Command export at the
	top, everything else (var decls, argument parsing setup) at the
	bottom.
	(5) Moved the argument parsing setup into a procedure called when the
	code is loaded. Easier management of temporary data.
	(6) Replaced several uses of 'Set' with calls to the new procedure
	'InterpState' and direct access to the per-slave state array.
	(7) Replaced the remaining uses of 'Set' and others outside of the
	path/token handling, and deleted a number of procedures related to
	state array access which are not used any longer.
	(8) Converted the path token system to cache normalized paths and path
	<-> token conversions. Removed more procedures not used any longer.
	Removed the test cases 4.3 and 4.4 from safe.test. They were testing
	the now deleted command "InterpStateName".
	(9) Changed the log command setup so that logging is compiled out
	completely when disabled (default).
	(10) Misc. cleanup. Inlined IsInterp into CheckInterp, its only user.
	Consistent 'return -code error' for error reporting. Updated to use
	modern features (lassign, in/ni, dicts). The latter are used to keep a
	reverse path -> token map and quicker check of existence.
	(11) Fixed [Bug 2854929]: Recurse into all subdirs under all TM root
	dirs and put them on the access path.

2009-11-02  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* library/tzdata/Asia/Novokuznetsk: New tzdata locale for Kemerovo
	oblast', which now keeps Novosibirsk time and not Kranoyarsk time.
	* library/tzdata/Asia/Damascus: Syrian DST changes.
	* library/tzdata/Asia/Hong_Kong: Hong Kong historic DST corrections.
	Olson tzdata2009q.

2009-11-02  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* doc/object.n (DESCRIPTION): Substantive revision to make it clearer
	what the fundamental semantics of an object actually are.

2009-11-01  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>

	* doc/Cancel.3: Minor cosmetic fixes.
	* win/makefile.vc: Make htmlhelp target work again.  An extra set of
	double quotes around the definition of the HTML help compiler tool
	appears to be required.  Previously, there was one set of double
	quotes around the definition of the tool and one around the actual
	invocation.  This led to confusion because it was the only such tool
	path to include double quotes around its invocation.  Also, it was
	somewhat inflexible in the event that somebody needed to override the
	tool command to include arguments.  Therefore, even though it may look
	"wrong", there are now two double quotes on either side of the tool
	path definition.  This fixes the problem that currently prevents the
	htmlhelp target from building and maintains flexibility in case
	somebody needs to override it via the command line or an environment
	variable.

2009-11-01  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/Eval.3, doc/Cancel.3: Move TIP#285 routines out of Eval.3 into
	their own manpage.

2009-10-31  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (ExprRoundFunc): [Bug 2889593]: Correctly report
	the expected number of arguments when generating an error for round().

2009-10-30  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/tcltest.test: When creating the notwritabledir we deny the
	current user access to delete the file. We must grant this right when
	we cleanup. Required on Windows 7 when the user does not automatically
	have administrator rights.

2009-10-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tcl.h:        Changed the typedef for the mp_digit type
	from:
		typedef unsigned long mp_digit;
	to:
		typedef unsigned int mp_digit;
	For 32-bit builds where "long" and "int" are two names for the same
	thing, this is no change at all.  For 64-bit builds, though, this
	causes the dp[] array of an mp_int to be made up of 32-bit elements
	instead of 64-bit elements.  This is a huge improvement because details
	elsewhere in the mp_int implementation cause only 28 bits of each
	element to be actually used storing number data.  Without this change
	bignums are over 50% wasted space on 64-bit systems.  [Bug 2800740].

	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
	For 64-bit builds, callers of routines with (mp_digit) or (mp_digit *)
	arguments *will*, and callers of routines with (mp_int *) arguments
	*may* suffer both binary and stubs incompatibilities with Tcl releases
	8.5.0 - 8.5.7.  Such possibilities should be checked, and if such
	incompatibilities are present, suitable [package require] requirements
	on the Tcl release should be put in place to keep such built code
	[load]-ing only in Tcl interps that are compatible.

2009-10-29  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* tests/dict.test: Make variable-clean and simplify tests by utilizing
	the fact that dictionaries have defined orders.

	* generic/tclZlib.c (TclZlibCmd): Remove accidental C99-ism which
	reportedly makes the AIX native compiler choke.

2009-10-29  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* library/clock.tcl (LocalizeFormat):
	* tests/clock.test (clock-67.1):
	[Bug 2819334]: Corrected a problem where '%%' followed by a letter in
	a format group could expand recursively: %%R would turn into %%H:%M:%S

2009-10-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclLiteral.c:	[Bug 2888044]: Fixed 2 bugs.
	* tests/info.test:	First, as noted in the comments of the
	TclCleanupLiteralTable routine, since the teardown of the intrep of
	one Tcl_Obj can cause the teardown of others in the same table, the
	full table cleanup must be done with care, but the code did not
	contain the same care demanded in the comment.  Second, recent
	additions to the info.test file had poor hygiene, leaving an array
	variable ::a lying around, which breaks later interp.test tests during
	a -singleproc 1 run of the test suite.

2009-10-28  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* tests/fileName.test (fileName-20.[78]): Corrected poor test
	hygiene (failure to save and restore the working directory) that
	caused these two tests to fail on Windows (and [Bug 2806250] to be
	reopened).

2009-10-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclPathObj.c: [Bug 2884203]: Missing refcount on cached
	normalized path caused crashes.

2009-10-27  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* library/clock.tcl (ParseClockScanFormat): [Bug 2886852]: Corrected a
	problem where [clock scan] didn't load the timezone soon enough when
	processing a time format that lacked a complete date.
	* tests/clock.test (clock-66.1):
	Added a test case for the above bug.
	* library/tzdata/America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires:
	* library/tzdata/America/Argentina/Cordoba:
	* library/tzdata/America/Argentina/San_Luis:

2009-10-26  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in:	Remove $(PACKAGE).* and prototype from the
	`make distclean` target.  Completes 2009-10-20 commit.

2009-10-24  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* library/clock.tcl (ProcessPosixTimeZone):
	Corrected a regression in the fix to [Bug 2207436] that caused
	[clock] to apply EU daylight saving time rules in the US.
	Thanks to Karl Lehenbauer for reporting this regression.
	* tests/clock.test (clock-52.4):
	Added a regression test for the above bug.
	* library/tzdata/Asia/Dhaka:
	* library/tzdata/Asia/Karachi:
	New DST rules for Bangladesh and Pakistan. (Olson's tzdata2009o.)

2009-10-23  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (FlushChannel): Skip OutputProc for low-level
	0-length writes. When closing pipes which have already been closed
	not skipping leads to spurious SIG_PIPE signals. Reported by
	Mikhail Teterin <mi+thun@aldan.algebra.com>.

2009-10-22  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_VarName): [Bug 2883857]: Allow
	the passing of array element names through this method.

2009-10-21  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclPosixStr.c: [Bug 2882561]: Work around oddity on Haiku OS
	where SIGSEGV and SIGBUS are the same value.

	* generic/tclTrace.c (StringTraceProc): [Bug 2881259]: Added back cast
	to work around silly bug in MSVC's handling of auto-casting.

2009-10-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in:	Removed the long outdated and broken targets
	package-* that were for building Solaris packages.  Appears that the
	pieces needed for these targets to function have never been present in
	the current era of Tcl development and belong completely to Tcl
	pre-history.

2009-10-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIO.c:      [Patch 2107634]: Revised ReadChars and
	FilterInputBytes routines to permit reads to continue up to the string
	limits of Tcl values.  Before revisions, large read attempts could
	panic when as little as half the limiting value length was reached.
	Thanks to Sean Morrison and Bob Parker for their roles in the fix.

2009-10-18  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>

	* generic/tclObj.c (TclDbDumpActiveObjects, TclDbInitNewObj)
	(Tcl_DbIncrRefCount, Tcl_DbDecrRefCount, Tcl_DbIsShared):
	[Bug 2871908]: Enforce separation of concerns between the lineCLPtr
	and objThreadMap thread specific data members.

2009-10-18  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>

	* tests/thread.test (thread-4.[345]): [Bug 1565466]: Correct tests to
	save their error state before the final call to threadReap just in case
	it triggers an "invalid thread id" error.  This error can occur if one
	or more of the target threads has exited prior to the attempt to send
	it an asynchronous exit command.

2009-10-17  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclVar.c (UnsetVarStruct, TclDeleteNamespaceVars)
	(TclDeleteCompiledLocalVars, DeleteArray):
	* generic/tclTrace.c (Tcl_UntraceVar2): [Bug 2629338]: Stop traces
	that are deleted part way through (a feature used by tdom) from
	causing freed memory to be accessed.

2009-10-08  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictIncrCmd): [Bug 2874678]: Don't leak any
	bignums when doing [dict incr] with a value.
	* tests/dict.test (dict-19.3): Memory leak detection code.

2009-10-07  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclObj.c: [Bug 2871908]: Plug memory leaks of objThreadMap
	and lineCLPtr hashtables.  Also make the names of the continuation
	line information initialization and finalization functions more
	consistent. Patch supplied by Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>.

	* generic/tclIORChan.c (ErrnoReturn): Replace hardwired constant 11
	with proper errno #define, EAGAIN. What was I thinking? The BSD's have
	a different errno assignment and break with the hardwired number.
	Reported by emiliano on the chat.

2009-10-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclInterp.c (SlaveEval): Agressive stomping of internal reps
	was added as part of the NRE patch of 2008-07-13.  This doesn't appear
	to actually be needed, and it hurts quite a bit when large lists lose
	their intreps and require reparsing.  Thanks to Ashok Nadkarni for
	reporting the problem.

	* generic/tclTomMathInt.h (new): Public header tclTomMath.h had
	* generic/tclTomMath.h:	dependence on private headers, breaking use
	* generic/tommath.h:	by extensions [Bug 1941434].

2009-10-05  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* library/safe.tcl (AliasGlob): Fixed conversion of catch to
	  try/finally, it had an 'on ok msg' branch missing, causing a
	  silent error immediately, and bogus glob results, breaking
	  search for Tcl modules.

2009-10-04  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:	Workaround CF memory managment bug in
	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:		Mac OS X 10.4 & earlier. [Bug 2569449]

2009-09-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclDictObj.c:		[Bug 2857044]: Updated freeIntRepProc
	* generic/tclExecute.c:		routines so that they set the typePtr
	* generic/tclIO.c:		field to NULL so that the Tcl_Obj is
	* generic/tclIndexObj.c:	not left in an inconsistent state.
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclListObj.c:
	* generic/tclNamesp.c:

	* generic/tclPathObj.c:
	* generic/tclProc.c:
	* generic/tclRegexp.c:
	* generic/tclStringObj.c:

	* generic/tclAlloc.c:           Cleaned up various routines in the
	* generic/tclCkalloc.c:         call stacks for memory allocation to
	* generic/tclInt.h:             guarantee that any size values computed
	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c:     are within the domains of the routines
	they get passed to.  [Bugs 2557696 and 2557796].

2009-09-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	Replaced TclProcessReturn() calls with
	* tests/error.test:	Tcl_SetReturnOptions() calls as a simple fix
	for [Bug 2855247].  Thanks to Anton Kovalenko for the report and fix.
	Additional fixes for other failures demonstrated by new tests.

2009-09-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/error.test (error-15.8.*):	Coverage tests illustrating
	flaws in the propagation of return options by [try].

2009-09-26  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* unix/tclooConfig.sh, win/tclooConfig.sh: [Bug 2026844]: Added dummy
	versions of tclooConfig.sh that make it easier to build extensions
	against both Tcl8.5+TclOO-standalone and Tcl8.6.

2009-09-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	TIP #356 IMPLEMENTATION

	* generic/tcl.decls:	Promote internal routine TclNRSubstObj()
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	to public Tcl_NRSubstObj().  Still needs docs.
	* generic/tclCompile.c:
	* generic/tclInt.h:

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

2009-09-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* doc/namespace.n: the description of [namespace unknown] failed
	to mention [namespace path]: fixed. Thx emiliano.

2009-09-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/regexp.test: Added check for error message from
	unbalanced [] in regexp. Added additional simple test cases
	of basic regsub command.

2009-09-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompile.c:	Correct botch in the conversion of
	Tcl_SubstObj().  Thanks to Kevin Kenny for detection and report.

2009-09-17  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompile.c:	Re-implement Tcl_SubstObj() as a simple
	* generic/tclParse.c:	wrapper around TclNRSubstObj().  This has
	* tests/basic.test:	the effect of caching compiled bytecode in
	* tests/parse.test:	the value to be substituted.  Note that
	Tcl_SubstObj() now exists only for extensions.  Tcl itself no longer
	makes any use of it.  Note also that TclSubstTokens() is now reachable
	only by Tcl_EvalEx() and Tcl_ParseVar() so tests aiming to test its
	functioning needed adjustment to still have the intended effect.

2009-09-16  Alexandre Ferrieux  <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclObj.c:   Extended ::tcl::unsupported::representation.

2009-09-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Completed the NR-enabling of [subst].
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	[Bug 2314561].
	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
	* generic/tclCompile.c:
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* tests/coroutine.test:
	* tests/parse.test:

2009-09-11  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* tests/http.test: Added in cleaning up of http tokens for each test
	to reduce amount of global-variable pollution.

2009-09-10  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* library/http/http.tcl (http::Event): [Bug 2849860]: Handle charset
	names in double quotes; some servers like generating them like that.

2009-09-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclParse.c:	[Bug 2850901]: Corrected line counting error
	* tests/into.test:	in multi-command script substitutions.

2009-09-07  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Fix potential uninitialized variable use and
	* generic/tclFCmd.c:	null dereference flagged by clang static
	* generic/tclProc.c:	analyzer.
	* generic/tclTimer.c:
	* generic/tclUtf.c:

	* generic/tclExecute.c:	Silence false positives from clang static
	* generic/tclIO.c:	analyzer about potential null dereference.
	* generic/tclScan.c:
	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:

2009-09-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSubstCmd): [Bug 2314561]:
	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Added a bytecode compiler routine for the
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	[subst] command. This is a partial solution to
	* generic/tclCompile.c:	the need to NR-enable [subst] since bytecode
	* generic/tclCompile.h:	execution is already NR-enabled. Two new
	* generic/tclExecute.c:	bytecode instructions, INST_NOP and
	* generic/tclInt.h:	INST_RETURN_CODE_BRANCH were added to support
	* generic/tclParse.c:	the new routine.  INST_RETURN_CODE_BRANCH is
	* tests/basic.test:	likely to be useful in any future effort to
	* tests/info.test:	add a bytecode compiler routine for [try].
	* tests/parse.test:

2009-09-03  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* doc/LinkVar.3: [Bug 2844962]: Added documentation of issues relating
	to use of this API in a multi-threaded environment.

2009-09-01  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclIORTrans.c (ReflectInput): Remove error response to
	0-result from method 'limit?' of transformations. Return the number of
	copied bytes instead, which is possibly nothing. The latter then
	triggers EOF handling in the higher layers, making the 0-result of
	limit? the way to inject artificial EOF's into the data stream.

2009-09-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Bump to tcltest 2.3.2 after revision
	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: to verbose error message.
	* unix/Makefile.in:
	* win/Makefile.in:

2009-08-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:       [Bug 2845535]: A few more string
	overflow cases in [format].

	Extended the parser, compiler, and execution engine with code and
	attendant data structures tracking the position of continuation lines
	which are not visible in the resulting script Tcl_Obj*'s, to properly
	account for them while counting lines for #280.

2009-08-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclInt.h: Annotate Tcl_Panic as noreturn for clang static
	analyzer in PURIFY builds, replacing preprocessor/assert technique.

	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: Fix multiple issues with nested event loops
	when CoreFoundation notifier is running in embedded mode. (Fixes
	problems in TkAqua Cocoa reported by Youness Alaoui on tcl-mac)

2009-08-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclFileName.c: Correct regression in [Bug 2837800] fix.
	* tests/fileName.test:

2009-08-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclFileName.c: [Bug 2837800]: Correct the result produced by
	[glob */test] when * matches something like ~foo.

	* generic/tclPathObj.c: [Bug 2806250]: Prevent the storage of strings
	starting with ~ in the "tail" part (normPathPtr field) of the path
	intrep when PATHFLAGS != 0.  This establishes the assumptions relied
	on elsewhere that the name stored there is a relative path.  Also
	refactored to make an AppendPath() routine instead of the cut/paste
	stanzas that were littered throughout.

2009-08-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (TclNRIfObjCmd): [Bug 2823276]: Make [if]
	NRE-safe on all arguments when interpreted.
	(Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Close off memory leak.

2009-08-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (TclNRForObjCmd, etc.): [Bug 2823276]: Make [for]

2009-08-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclPathObj.c: [Bug 2837800]: Added NULL check to prevent

2009-08-16  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* unix/dltest/pkge.c:  const addition

	* win/tclWinDde.c:     Eliminate some more gcc warnings
	* win/tclWinReg.c:
	* generic/tclInt.h:    Change ForIterData, make it const-safe.

2009-08-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	TIP #353 IMPLEMENTATION

	* doc/NRE.3:		New public routine Tcl_NRExprObj() permits

	* tests/ioCmd.test: 'read'), enabling handlers to signal EAGAIN to
	indicate 'no data, but not at EOF either', and other system

	iocmd*-23.{9,10}).

2009-08-02  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* tests/coroutine.test: fix testfile cleanup

2009-08-02  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_RepresentationCmd): Added an unsupported
	command for reporting the representation of an object. Result string
	is deliberately a bit obstructive so that people are not encouraged to
	make code that depends on it; it's a debugging tool only!

	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (GetOwnerAttribute, SetOwnerAttribute)
	(GetGroupAttribute, SetGroupAttribute): [Bug 1942222]: Stop calling
	* unix/tclUnixFile.c (TclpGetUserHome): endpwent() and endgrent();
	they've been unnecessary for ages.

2009-08-02  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Eliminate TclWinResetInterfaceEncodings, since it

2009-07-25  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* library/history.tcl (history): Reworked the history mechanism in

	used previously.

2009-07-24  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* doc/self.n (self class): [Bug 2704302]: Add some text to make it

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (StringIsCmd): Reorganize so that [string is] is
	more efficient when parsing things that are correct, at a cost of
	making the empty string test slightly more costly. With this, the cost
	of doing [string is integer -strict $x] matches [catch {expr {$x+0}}]
	in the successful case, and greatly outstrips it in the failing case.

2009-07-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclOO.decls, generic/tclOO.c (Tcl_GetObjectName): Expose a
	function for efficiently returning the current name of an object.

2009-07-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in: Define NDEBUG in optimized (non-symbols) build to

2009-07-15  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclInt.h (Namespace):		   Added machinery to allow

	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclInitCompileEnv, EnterCmdWordIndex)
	(TclCleanupByteCode, TclCompileScript):
	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompileObj, TclExecuteByteCode):
	* tclCompile.h (ExtCmdLoc):

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (TclNRForObjCmd, TclNRForIterCallback,
	(ForNextCallback):
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclNRWhileObjCmd):

	Extended the bytecode compiler initialization to recognize the
	compilation of whole files (NRE enabled 'source' command) and switch
	to the counting of absolute lines in that case.

	Further extended the bytecode compiler to track the start line in the
	generated information, and modified the bytecode execution to
	recompile an object if the location as per the calling context doesn't
	match the location saved in the bytecode. This part could be optimized
	more by using more memory to keep all possibilities which occur
	around, or by just adjusting the location information instead of a
	total recompile.

	Reworked the handling of literal command arguments in bytecode to be
	saved (compiler) and used (execution) per command (See the
	TCL_INVOKE_STK* instructions), and not per the whole bytecode. This,
	and the previous change remove the problems with location data caused
	by literal sharing (across whole files, but also proc bodies).
	Simplified the associated datastructures (ExtIndex is gone, as is the
	function EnterCmdWordIndex).

	The last change causes the hashtable 'lineLABCPtr' to be state which
	has to be kept per coroutine, like the CmdFrame stack. Reworked the
	coroutine support code to create, delete and switch the information as
	needed. Further reworked the tailcall command as well, it has to pop
	its own arguments when run in a bytecode context to keep a proper
	stack in 'lineLABCPtr'.

	Fixed the mishandling of line information in the NRE-enabled 'for' and
	'while' commands introduced when both were made to share their
	iteration callbacks without taking into account that the loop body is
	found in different words of the command. Introduced a separate data
	structure to hold all the callback information, as we went over the
	limit of 4 direct client-data values for NRE callbacks.

	The above fixes [Bug 1605269].

	* generic/tclOOCall.c (TclOOGetCallContext): [Bug 1895546]: Changed
	* generic/tclOO.c (TclOOObjectCmdCore):	     the way that the cache is

2009-07-10  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/zlib.test:   ZlibTransformClose may be called with a NULL
	* generic/tclZlib.c: interpreter during finalization and

2009-06-17 Alexandre Ferrieux  <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclEvent.c: Applied a patch by George Peter Staplin
	drastically reducing the ambition of [exit] wrt finalization, and

	* generic/tclCompile.c: [Bug 2802881]: The value stashed in
	* generic/tclProc.c:    iPtr->compiledProcPtr when compiling a proc
	* tests/execute.test:   survives too long. We only need it there long
	enough for the right TclInitCompileEnv() call to re-stash it into
	envPtr->procPtr.  Once that is done, the CompileEnv controls.  If we
	let the value of iPtr->compiledProcPtr linger, though, then any other
	bytecode compile operation that takes place will also have its
	CompileEnv initialized with it, and that's not correct.  The value is
	meant to control the compile of the proc body only, not other compile
	tasks that happen along.  Thanks to Carlos Tasada for discovering and
	reporting the problem.

2009-06-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:       [Bug 2801413]: Revised [format] to not
	overflow the integer calculations computing the length of the %ll

	[format]s that would produce results overflowing the maximum string
	length of Tcl values throw a normal Tcl error instead of a panic.

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	[Bug 2803109]: Corrected failures to
	deal with the "pure unicode" representation of an empty string.
	Thanks to Julian Noble for reporting the problem.

	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Fixed a thread safety bug in the generated
	* library/clock.tcl:    Bison parser (needed a %pure-parser
	* tests/clock.test:     declaration to avoid static variables).
				Discovered that the %pure-parser declaration
	                        allowed for returning the Bison error message
	                        to the Tcl caller in the event of a syntax
	                        error, so did so.

2009-05-14  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclOOInfo.c (InfoObjectNsCmd): Added introspection mechanism
	for finding out what an object's namespace is. Experience suggests

2009-05-12  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* doc/vwait.n: Added more words to make it clear just how bad it is to

	constructor.

	* tests/exec.test (cat): [Bug 2788468]: Adjust the scripted version of
	cat so that it does not perform transformations on the data it is
	working with, making it more like the standard Unix 'cat' program.

2009-05-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetCommandFromObj): [Bug 2785893]: Ensure that
	a command in a deleted namespace can't be found through a cached name.

	* generic/tclBasic.c:    Let coroutines start with a much smaller
	* generic/tclCompile.h:  stack: 200 words (previously was 2000, the

2009-05-07  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* tests/env.test (printenvScript, env-4.3, env-4.5): [Bug 1513659]:
	* tests/exec.test (exec-2.6): These tests had subtle dependencies on

	Issue spotted by Don Porter.

2009-05-03  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* doc/Tcl.n: [Bug 2538432]: Clarified exact treatment of ${arr(idx)}

	an improved description of the current situation.

2009-04-30  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclObjInvoke): [Bug 2486550]: Make sure that a

	wrong both ways.)

2009-04-27  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclIndexObj.c:  Reset internal INTERP_ALTERNATE_WRONG_ARGS
	* generic/tclIOCmd.c:     flag inside the Tcl_WrongNumArgs function,

	* generic/tclOOMethod.c (InvokeForwardMethod): Clarify the resolution
	behaviour of the name of the command that is forwarded to: it's now
	resolved using the object's namespace as context, which is much more
	useful than the previous (somewhat random) behaviour of using the
	caller's current namespace.

2009-04-10  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/http/http.tcl:     Improved HTTP/1.1 support and added

2009-03-21  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:   Fixed "leaks" in aliases, imports and
	* generic/tclInt.h:     ensembles. Only remaining known leak is in
	* generic/tclInterp.c:  ensemble unknown dispatch (as it not
	* generic/tclNamesp.c:  NR-enabled)
	* tests/tailcall.test:

	* tclInt.h: comments

	* tests/tailcall.test: Added tests to show that [tailcall] does not
	currently always execute in constant space: interp-alias, ns-imports
	and ensembles "leak" as of this commit.

	* tests/nre.test: [foreach] has been NR-enabled for a while, the test
	was marked 'knownBug': unmark it.

	* generic/tclBasic.c:   Fix for (among others) [Bug 2699087]
	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:   Tailcalls now perform properly even from
	* generic/tclExecute.c: within [eval]ed scripts.
	* generic/tclInt.h:     More tests missing, as well as proper
	exploration and testing of the interaction with "redirectors" like
	interp-alias (suspect that it does not happen in constant space)
	and pure-eval commands.

	* generic/tclExecute.c: Proper fix for [Bug 2415422]. Reenabled
	* tests/nre.test:       the failing assertion that was disabled on
	2008-12-18: the assertion is correct, the fault was in the
	management of expansions.

	* generic/tclExecute.c:  Fix both test and code for tailcall
	* tests/tailcall.test:   from within a compiled [eval] body.

	* tests/tailcall.test: Slightly improved tests

	checks that Tcl_AppendStringsToObj() no longer crashes when operating
	on a pure unicode value.

	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CONCAT1):  [Bug 2669109]: Panic when
	appends overflow the max length of a Tcl value.

	* generic/tcl.h:
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclBasic.c:
	* generic/tclExecute.c:
	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_PopCallFrame): Rewritten tailcall
	implementation, ::unsupported::atProcExit is (temporarily?) gone. The
	new approach is much simpler, and also closer to being correct. This
	commit fixes [Bug 2649975] and [Bug 2695587].

	* tests/coroutine.test:    Moved the tests to their own files,
	* tests/tailcall.test:     removed the unsupported.test. Added
	* tests/unsupported.test:  tests for the fixed bugs.

2009-03-19  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* doc/tailcall.n: Added documentation for tailcall command.

2009-03-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjNormalizePath):	[Bug 2688184]:
	Corrected Tcl_Obj leak. Thanks to Joe Mistachkin for detection and
	patch.

	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupSimpleVar):	[Bug 2689307]: Shift
	all calls to Tcl_SetErrorCode() out of TclLookupSimpleVar and onto its
	callers, where control with TCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG flag is more easily
	handled.

2009-03-16  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TryPostBody): [Bug 2688063]: Extract information
	from list before getting rid of last reference to it.

2009-03-15  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>

	* generic/tclThread.c: Modify fix for TSD leak to match Tcl 8.5
	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c: (and prior) allocation semantics. [Bug
	2687952]

2009-03-15  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c (TSDTableDelete):	[Bug 2687952]: Ensure
	* generic/tclThread.c (Tcl_GetThreadData):	that structures in
	Tcl's TSD system are all freed. Use the correct matching allocator.

	* generic/tclPosixStr.c (Tcl_SignalId,Tcl_SignalMsg): [Patch 1513655]:
	Added support for SIGINFO, which is present on BSD platforms.

2009-03-14  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* unix/tcl.pc.in (new file):		[Patch 2243948] (hat0)
	* unix/configure.in, unix/Makefile.in: Added support for reporting
	Tcl's public build configuration via the pkg-config system. TEA is
	still the official mechanism though, in part because pkg-config is not
	universally supported across all Tcl's supported platforms.

2009-03-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclNRCoroutineObjCmd): fix Tcl_Obj leak.
	Diagnosis and fix thanks to GPS.

2009-03-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TryObjCmd, TclNRTryObjCmd): Moved the
	implementation of [try] from Tcl code into C. Still lacks a bytecode
	version, but should be better than what was before.

2009-03-04  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclZlib.c (TclZlibCmd): Checksums are defined to be unsigned
	32-bit integers, use Tcl_WideInt to pass to scripts. [Bug 2662434]
	(ZlibStreamCmd, ChanGetOption): A few other related corrections.

2009-02-27  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tcl.decls:    [Bug 218977]: Tcl_DbCkfree needs return value
	* generic/tclCkalloc.c
	* generic/tclDecls.h:   (regenerated)
	* generic/tclInt.decls: don't use CONST84/CONST86 here
	* generic/tclCompile.h: don't use CONST86 here, comment fixing.
	* generic/tclIO.h:      don't use CONST86 here, comment fixing.
	* generic/tclIntDecls.h (regenerated)

2009-02-25  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclStringMatchObj):	[Bug 2637173]: Revised
	the branching on the strObj->typePtr so that untyped values get
	converted to the "string" type and pass through the Unicode matcher.
	[Bug 2613766]: Also added checks to only perform "bytearray"
	optimization on pure bytearray values.

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	Since Tcl_GetCharLength() has its own
	* generic/tclExecute.c:	optimizations for the tclByteArrayType, stop
	having the callers do them.

2009-02-24  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* doc/clock.n, doc/fblocked.n, doc/format.n, doc/lsort.n,
	* doc/pkgMkIndex.n, doc/regsub.n, doc/scan.n, doc/tclvars.n:
	General minor documentation improvements.

	* library/http/http.tcl (geturl, Eof): Added support for 8.6's built
	in zlib routines.

2009-02-22  Alexandre Ferrieux  <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/lrange.test:	Revert commits of 2008-07-23. Those were speed
	* tests/binary.test:	tests, that are inherently brittle.

2009-02-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Several revisions to the shimmering
	patterns between Unicode and UTF string reps.  Most notably the
	call: objPtr = Tcl_NewUnicodeObj(...,0); followed by a loop of calls:
	Tcl_AppendUnicodeToObj(objPtr, u, n); will now grow and append to
	the Unicode representation.  Before this commit, the sequence would
	convert each append to UTF and perform the append to the UTF rep.
	This is puzzling and likely a bug.  The performance of [string map]
	is significantly improved by this change (according to the MAP
	collection of benchmarks in tclbench).  Just in case there was some
	wisdom in the old ways that I missed, I left in the ability to restore
	the old patterns with a #define COMPAT 1 at the top of the file.

2009-02-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclPathObj.c:	Fixed mistaken logic in TclFSGetPathType()
	* tests/fileName.test:	that assumed (not "absolute" => "relative").
	This is a false assumption on Windows, where "volumerelative" is
	another possibility.  [Bug 2571597]

2009-02-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Simplify the logic of the
	Tcl_*SetObjLength() routines.

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Rewrite GrowStringBuffer() so that it
	has parallel structure with GrowUnicodeBuffer().  The revision permits
	allocation attempts to continue all the way up to failure, with no
	gap. It also directly manipulates the String and Tcl_Obj internals
	instead of inefficiently operating via Tcl_*SetObjLength() with all of
	its extra protections and underdocumented special cases.

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Another round of simplification on
	the allocation macros.

2009-02-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tcl.m4, win/configure: Check if cl groks _WIN64 already to
	avoid CC manipulation that can screw up later configure checks.
	Use 'd'ebug runtime in 64-bit builds.

2009-02-17  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Pare back the length of the unicode
	array in a non-extended String struct to one Tcl_UniChar, meant to
	hold the terminating NUL character.  Non-empty unicode strings are
	then stored by extending the String struct by stringPtr->maxChars
	additional slots in that array with sizeof(Tcl_UniChar) bytes per
	slot. This revision makes the allocation macros much simpler.

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Factor out common GrowUnicodeBuffer()
	and solve overflow and growth algorithm fallbacks in it.

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Factor out common GrowStringBuffer().

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Convert Tcl_AppendStringsToObj into
	* tests/stringObj.test:		a radically simpler implementation
	where we just loop over calls to Tcl_AppendToObj.  This fixes [Bug
	2597185].  It also creates a *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** in
	that T_ASTO can now allocate more space than is strictly required,
	like all the other Tcl_Append* routines.  The incompatibility was
	detected by test stringObj-6.5, which I've updated to reflect the
	new behavior.

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Revise buffer growth implementation
	in ExtendStringRepWithUnicode.  Use cheap checks to determine that
	no reallocation is necessary without cost of computing the precise
	number of bytes needed.  Also make use of the string growth algortihm
	in the case of repeated appends.

2009-02-16  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclZlib.c:	hack needed for official zlib1.dll build.
	* win/configure.in:	fix [Feature Request 2605263] use official
	* win/Makefile.in:	zlib build.
	* win/configure:	(regenerated)
	* compat/zlib/zdll.lib:	new files
	* compat/zlib/zlib1.dll:

	* win/Makefile.in:  fix [Bug 2605232] tdbc doesn't build when
	Tcl is compiled with --disable-shared.

2009-02-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Added protections from invalid memory
	* generic/tclTestObj.c:		accesses when we append (some part of)
	* tests/stringObj.test:		a Tcl_Obj to itself.  Added the
	appendself and appendself2 subcommands to the [teststringobj] testing
	command and added tests to the test suite.  [Bug 2603158]

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Factor out duplicate code from
	Tcl_AppendObjToObj.

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Replace the 'size_t uallocated' field
	of the String struct, storing the number of bytes allocated to store
	the Tcl_UniChar array, with an 'int maxChars' field, storing the
	number of Tcl_UniChars that may be stored in the allocated space.
	This reduces memory requirement a small bit, and makes some range
	checks simpler to code.
	* generic/tclTestObj.c:	Replace the [teststringobj ualloc] testing
	* tests/stringObj.test:	command with [teststringobj maxchars] and
	update the tests.

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Removed limitation in
	Tcl_AppendObjToObj where the char length of the result was only
	computed if the appended string was all single byte characters.
	This limitation was in place to dodge a bug in Tcl_GetUniChar.
	With that bug gone, we can take advantage of always recording the
	length of append results when we know it.

2009-02-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Revisions so that we avoid creating
	the strange representation of an empty string with
	objPtr->bytes == NULL and stringPtr->hasUnicode == 0.  Instead in
	the situations where that was being created, create a traditional
	two-legged stork representation (objPtr->bytes = tclEmptyStringRep
	and stringPtr->hasUnicode = 1).  In the situations where the strange
	rep was treated differently, continue to do so by testing
	stringPtr->numChars == 0 to detect it.  These changes make the code
	more conventional so easier for new maintainers to pick up.  Also
	sets up further simplifications.

	* generic/tclTestObj.c:	Revise updates to [teststringobj] so we don't
	get blocked by MODULE_SCOPE limits.

2009-02-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Rewrites of the routines
	Tcl_GetCharLength, Tcl_GetUniChar, Tcl_GetUnicodeFromObj,
	Tcl_GetRange, and TclStringObjReverse to use the new macro, and
	to more simply and clearly split the cases depending on whether
	a valid unicode rep is present or needs to be created.
	New utility routine UnicodeLength(), to compute the length of unicode
	buffer arguments when no length is passed in, with built-in
	overflow protection included.  Update three callers to use it.

	* generic/tclInt.h:	New macro TclNumUtfChars meant to be a faster
	replacement for a full Tcl_NumUtfChars() call when the string has all
	single-byte characters.

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Simplified Tcl_GetCharLength by
	* generic/tclTestObj.c:		removing code that did nothing.
	Added early returns from Tcl_*SetObjLength when the desired length
	is already present; adapted test command to the change.

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Re-implemented AppendUtfToUnicodeRep
	so that we no longer pass through Tcl_DStrings which have their own
	sets of problems when lengths overflow the int range.  Now AUTUR and
	FillUnicodeRep share a common core routine.

2009-02-12  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclOODefineCmds.c (TclOOGetDefineCmdContext): Use the
	correct field in the Interp structure for retrieving the frame to get
	the context object so that people can extend [oo::define] without deep
	shenanigans. Bug found by Federico Ferri.

2009-02-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Re-implemented AppendUnicodeToUtfRep
	so that we no longer pass through Tcl_DStrings which have their own
	sets of problems when lengths overflow the int range.  Now AUTUR and
	UpdateStringOfString share a common core routine.

	* generic/tclStringObj.c:	Changed type of the 'allocated' field
	* generic/tclTestObj.c:		of the String struct (and the
	TestString counterpart) from size_t to int since only int values are
	ever stored in it.

2009-02-10  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	Convert all Tcl_InvalidateStringRep() calls into macros.
	Simplify Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength by removing unreachable code.
	Simplify SetStringFromAny() by removing unreachable and duplicate code.
	Simplify Tcl_SetObjLength by removing unreachable code.
	Removed handling of (objPtr->bytes != NULL) from UpdateStringOfString,
	which is only called when objPtr->bytes is NULL.

2009-02-09  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCompile.c: fix [Bug 2555129] const compiler warning (as

2009-02-07  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclZlib.c (TclZlibCmd): [Bug 2573172]: Ensure that when
	invalid subcommand name is given, the list of valid subcommands is
	produced. This gives a better experience when using the command
	interactively.

2009-02-05  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>

	* generic/tclInterp.c: Fix argument checking for [interp cancel]. [Bug
	2544618]
	* unix/Makefile.in: Fix build issue with zlib on FreeBSD (and possibly
	other platforms).

2009-02-05  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (StringIndexCmd, StringRangeCmd, StringLenCmd):
	Simplify the implementation of some commands now that the underlying
	string API knows more about bytearrays.

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): [Bug 2568434]: Make sure
	that INST_CONCAT1 will not lose string reps wrongly.

	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendObjToObj): Special-case the
	appending of one bytearray to another, which can be extremely rapid.
	Part of scheme to address [Bug 1665628] by making the basic string
	operations more efficient on byte arrays.
	(Tcl_GetCharLength, Tcl_GetUniChar, Tcl_GetRange): More special casing
	work for bytearrays.

2009-02-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c: Added overflow protections to the
	AppendUtfToUtfRep routine to either avoid invalid arguments and
	crashes, or to replace them with controlled panics.  [Bug 2561794]

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	Prevent crashes due to int overflow of the

2009-02-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclInterp.c:	Reverted the conversion of [interp] into an

	* tests/nre.test:	(or even all that helpful) in the NRE-enabling

	* generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_NOMEM):  [Bug 2494093]: Add missing
	cast of NULL to (char *) that upsets some compilers.

	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_(Attempt)SetObjLength):	[Bug 2553906]:

2009-02-01  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* unix/tcl.m4:      distributors can control where tclConfig.sh goes.
	Made the installation of 'ldAix' conditional upon actually being on an
	AIX system. Allowed for downstream packagers to customize
	SHLIB_VERSION on BSD-derived systems. Thanks to Stuart Cassoff for
	[Patch 907924].
	* unix/configure: Autoconf 2.59

2009-01-19  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/build.vc.bat: Improved tools detection and error message
	* win/makefile.vc: Reorganized the $(TCLOBJ) file list into seperate
	parts for easier maintenance. Matched all sources built using -GL to
	both $(lib) and $(link) to use -LTCG and avoid a warning message.
	Addressed the over-building nature of the htmlhelp target by moving
	from a pseudo target to a real target dependent on the entire docs/
	directory contents.
	* win/nmakehlp.c: Removed -g option and GrepForDefine() func as it
	isn't being used anymore. The -V option method is much better.

2009-01-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tcl.h:	Bump patchlevel to 8.6b1.1 to distinguish
	* library/init.tcl:	CVS snapshots from the 8.6b1 and 8.6b2 releases
	* unix/configure.in:	and to deal with the fact that the 8.6b1
	* win/configure.in:	version of init.tcl will not [source] in the
	HEAD version of Tcl.

	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.59
	* win/configure:

2009-01-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken):	Reverted most
	of the substance of my 2009-01-12 commit. NULLing the objProc field of
	a Command when deleting it is important so that tests for certain
	classes of commands don't return false positives when applied to
	deleted command tokens. Overall change is now just replacement of a
	false comment with a true one.

2009-01-13  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* unix/tcl.m4: fix [tcl-Bug 2502365] Building of head on HPUX is
	broken when using the native CC.
	* unix/configure (autoconf-2.59)

2009-01-13  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_ThrowObjCmd):	Move implementation of [throw]
	* library/init.tcl (throw):		to C from Tcl.

2009-01-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): One consequence of
	the NRE rewrite is that there are now situations where a NULL objProc
	field in a Command struct is perfectly normal. Removed an outdated
	comment in Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken that claimed we use
	cmdPtr->objPtr==NULL as a test of command validity. In fact we use
	cmdPtr->flags&CMD_IS_DELETED to perform that test. Also removed the
	setting to NULL, since any extension following the advice of the old
	comment is going to be broken by NRE anyway, and needs to shift to
	flag-based testing (or stop intruding into such internal matters).
	Part of [Bug 2486550].

2009-01-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_SIZE): Corrected failure to limit
	memory allocation requests to the sizes that can be supported by Tcl's
	memory allocation routines. [Bug 2494093]

2009-01-09  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceEnsembleCmd): Error out when someone
	gives wrong # of args to [namespace ensemble create]. [Bug 1558654]

2009-01-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c (STRING_UALLOC):  Added missing parens
	required to get correct results out of things like
	STRING_UALLOC(num + append). [Bug 2494093]

2009-01-08  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclDictObj.c, generic/tclIndexObj.c, generic/tclListObj.c,
	* generic/tclObj.c, generic/tclStrToD.c, generic/tclUtil.c,
	* generic/tclVar.c: Generate errorcodes for the error cases which
	approximate to "I can't interpret that string as one of those" and
	"You gave me the wrong number of arguments".

2009-01-07  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* doc/dict.n: Added more examples. [Tk Bug 2491235]

	* tests/oo.test (oo-22.1): Adjusted test to be less dependent on the
	specifics of how [info frame] reports general frame information, and
	instead to focus on what methods add to it; that's really what the
	test is about anyway.

2009-01-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/stringObj.test:	Revise tests that demand a NULL Tcl_ObjType
	in certain values to construct those values with [testdstring] so
	there's no lack of robustness depending on the shimmer history of
	shared literals.

2009-01-06  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictIncrCmd): Corrected twiddling in internals
	of dictionaries so that literals can't get destroyed.

	* tests/expr.test: Eliminate non-ASCII char. [Bug 2006879]

	* generic/tclOOInfo.c (InfoObjectMethodsCmd,InfoClassMethodsCmd): Only
	delete pointers that were actually allocated! [Bug 2489836]

	* generic/tclOO.c (TclNRNewObjectInstance, Tcl_NewObjectInstance):
	Perform search for existing commands in right context. [Bug 2481109]

2009-01-05  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclNRSourceObjCmd): Make implementation of the
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclNREvalFile):    [source] command be NRE
	enabled so that [yield] inside a script sourced in a coroutine can
	work. [Bug 2412068]

2009-01-04  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: Tidy up spacing and code style.

2009-01-03  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* library/clock.tcl (tcl::clock::add): Fixed error message formatting
	in the case where [clock add] is presented with a bad switch.
	* tests/clock.test (clock-65.1) Added a test case for the above
	problem [Bug 2481670].

2009-01-02  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Force the use of the compatibility
	version of mkstemp() on IRIX. [Bug 878333]
	* unix/configure.in, unix/Makefile.in (mkstemp.o):
	* compat/mkstemp.c (new file): Added a compatibility implementation of
	the mkstemp() function, which is apparently needed on some platforms.
	[Bug 741967]
