2013-04-30  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* library/platform/platform.tcl (::platform::LibcVersion):
	* library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: Followup to the 2013-01-30
	  change. The RE become too restrictive again. SuSe added a
	  timestamp after the version. Loosened up a bit. Bumped package
	  to version 1.0.12.

2013-04-25  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclDecls.h: Implement Tcl_NewBooleanObj, Tcl_DbNewBooleanObj
	and Tcl_SetBooleanObj as macros using Tcl_NewIntObj, Tcl_DbNewLongObj
	and Tcl_SetIntObj. Starting with Tcl 8.5, this is exactly the same,
	it only eliminates code duplication.

2013-04-19  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclDecls.h: Implement many Tcl_*Var* functions and
	Tcl_GetIndexFromObj as (faster/stack-saving) macros around resp
	their Tcl_*Var*2 equivalent and Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct.

2013-04-12  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclDecls.h: Implement Tcl_Pkg* functions as
	(faster/stack-saving) macros around Tcl_Pkg*Ex functions.

2013-04-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/regc_color.c:	[Bug 3610026] Stop crash when the number of
	* generic/regerrs.h:	"colors" in a regular expression overflows
	* generic/regex.h:	a short int.  Thanks to Heikki Linnakangas
	* generic/regguts.h:	for the report and the patch.
	* tests/regexp.test:

2013-04-04  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

        * library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): Allow URLs that don't have
        a path, but a query query, e.g. http://example.com?foo=bar .
        * Bump the http package to 2.7.12.

2013-04-03  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

2013-03-12  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* unix/tcl.m4: Patch by Andrew Shadura, providing better support for

2013-03-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/regc_nfa.c:	[Bugs 3604074,3606683] Rewrite of the

	Thanks to Tom Lane for the much improved solution.

2013-02-27  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/regcomp.c:	[Bug 3606139]: missing error check allows

	providing the test-case and the patch.

2013-02-26  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclObj.c: Don't panic if Tcl_ConvertToType is called for a
	type that doesn't have a setFromAnyProc, create a proper error message.

2013-02-25  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/assocd.test:	[Bugs 3605719,3605720]: Test independence.
	* tests/basic.test:	Thanks Rolf Ade for patches.

2013-02-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompile.c:	Shift more burden of smart cleanup onto the
	TclFreeCompileEnv() routine.  Stop crashes when the hookProc raises
	an error.

2013-02-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	[Bug 3605447]: Make sure the -clear option
	* tests/namespace.test:	to [namespace export] always clears, whether
	or not new export patterns are specified.

2013-02-19  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclTrace.c:  [Bug 2438181]: Incorrect error reporting in

2013-02-14  Harald Oehlmann  <oehhar@users.sf.net>

	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: [Bug 3604576]: Catch missing registry

	present on the system.

2013-02-05  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclLoadNone.c (TclpLoadMemory): [Bug 3433012]: Added dummy
	version of this function to use in the event that a platform thinks it
	can load from memory but cannot actually do so due to it being
	disabled at configuration time.

2013-01-30  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* library/platform/platform.tcl (::platform::LibcVersion): See
	* library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: [Bug 3599098]: Fixed the RE
	* unix/Makefile.in: extracting the version to avoid issues with
	* win/Makefile.in: recent changes to the glibc banner. Now targeting a
	less variable part of the string. Bumped package to version 1.0.11.

2013-01-26  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: [Bug 3601804]: platformCPUID segmentation
	fault on Darwin.

2013-01-23  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): [Bug 2911139]: Do not do vwait
	for connect to avoid reentrancy problems (except when operating
	without a -command option). Internally, this means that all sockets
	created by the http package will always be operated in asynchronous
	mode.

2013-01-18  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclPort.h: [Bug 3598300]: unix: tcl.h does not include
	sys/stat.h

2013-01-16  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* Makefile.in:   Allow win32 build with -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED, just as
	* generic/tcl.h: in the UNIX build. Define Tcl_EvalObj and
	* generic/tclDecls.h: Tcl_GlobalEvalObj as macros, even when
	* generic/tclBasic.c: TCL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, so Tk can benefit
	from it too.

2013-01-14  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/tcl.m4: More flexible search for win32 tclConfig.sh, backported
	from TEA (not actually used in Tcl, only for Tk)

2013-01-13  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: If TCL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, make sure
	that TIP #139 functions all are taken from the public stub table, even
	if the inclusion is through tclInt.h.

2013-01-09  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* library/http/http.tcl: [Bug 3599395]: http assumes status line is a

	Bump http package to 2.7.11.

2013-01-08  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/tclWinFile.c: [Bug 3092089]: [file normalize] can remove path
	components.	[Bug 3587096]: win vista/7: "can't find init.tcl" when
	called via junction without folder list access.

2013-01-07  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tcl.decls: Extend the public stub table with dummy NULL
	entries, up to the size of the Tcl 8.6 stub tables. This makes it
	easier to debug extensions which use Tcl 8.6 features but (erroneously)
	are attempted to be loaded in Tcl 8.5.

2013-01-02  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclEnsemble.c:  Remove stray calls to Tcl_Alloc and friends:
	* generic/tclExecute.c:   the core should only use ckalloc to allow
	* generic/tclIORTrans.c:  MEM_DEBUG to work properly.
	* generic/tclTomMathInterface.c:

2012-12-31  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* doc/string.n: Noted the obsolescence of the 'bytelength',
	'wordstart' and 'wordend' subcommands, and moved them to later in the
	file.

2012-12-27  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclListObj.c: [Bug 3598580]: Tcl_ListObjReplace may release
	deleted elements too early.

2012-12-21  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* unix/dltest/pkgb.c:  Make pkgb.so loadable in Tcl 8.4 as well.
	* generic/tclStubLib.c: Eliminate unnecessary static HasStubSupport()
	and isDigit() functions, just do the same inline.

2012-12-13  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tcl.h: Fix Tcl_DecrRefCount macro such that it
	doesn't access its objPtr parameter twice any more.

2012-12-07  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* unix/dltest/pkgb.c:  Turn pkgb.so into a Tcl9 interoperability test
        library: Whatever Tcl9 looks like, loading pkgb.so in Tcl 9 should
        either result in an error-message, either succeed, but never crash.

2012-11-14  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (DefaultTempDir): [Bug 2933003]: Allow overriding
	of the back-stop default temporary file location at compile time by
	setting the TCL_TEMPORARY_FILE_DIRECTORY #def to a string containing
	the directory name (defaults to "/tmp" as that is the most common
	default).

2012-11-13  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>

	* win/tclWinInit.c: also search for the library directory (init.tcl,
	encodings, etc) relative to the build directory associated with the
	source checkout.

2012-11-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	*** 8.5.13 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***

2012-11-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinSock.c:	[Bug 3574493] Avoid hanging on exit due to
	use of synchronization calls in routines called by DllMain().

2012-11-06  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* library/http/http.tcl (http::Finish): [Bug 3581754]: Ensure that
	callbacks are done at most once to prevent problems with timeouts on a
	keep-alive connection (combined with reentrant http package use)
	causing excessive stack growth. Not a fix for the underlying problem,
	but ensures that pain will be mostly kept away from users.
	Bump http package to 2.7.10.

2012-10-23  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclInt.h:    Remove unused TclpLoadFile function.
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c

2012-10-14  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclDictObj.c: [Bug 3576509]: tcl::Bgerror crashes with invalid
	* generic/tclEvent.c:    arguments. Better fix, which helps for all
	Tcl_DictObjGet() calls in Tcl's source code.

2012-10-13  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclEvent.c: [Bug 3576509]: tcl::Bgerror crashes with invalid
	arguments

2012-10-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIO.c:	When checking for std channels being closed,
	compare the channel state, not the channel itself so that stacked
	channels do not cause trouble.

2012-09-07  Harald Oehlmann  <oehhar@users.sf.net>

	IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#404.

	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:	[FRQ 3544988]: (Backport from Tcl 8.6)
	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:	New commands [mcflset] and [mcflmset]

2012-08-25  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* library/msgs/uk.msg: [Bug 3561330]: Use the correct full name of
	March in Ukrainian. Thanks to Mikhail Teterin for reporting.

2012-08-23  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclBinary.c: [Bug 3496014]: (Backport from Tcl 8.6) Protect

	when the last component is the empty string.

2012-08-20  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/tclWinPort.h:  Remove wrapper macro for ntohs(): unnecessary,
	because it doesn't require an initialized winsock_2 library. See:
	<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms740075%28v=vs.85%29.aspx>
	* win/tclWinSock.c:

	scheme outlined on http://www.opengroup.org/austin/docs/austin_328.txt
	to handle Tcl's use of standard reentrant versions of the passwd/group
	access functions so that everything can work on all BSDs. Problem
	identified by Stuart Cassoff.

2012-07-11  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/tclWinReg.c: [Bug 3362446]: registry keys command fails

	problems when using HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA.

2012-07-10  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: [Bug 3541646]: Don't panic on triggerPipe

2012-07-10  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* win/tclWinSock.c (InitializeHostName): Corrected logic that
	extracted the name of the computer from the gethostname call so that

	buffer size is exactly that recommended by Microsoft.

2012-07-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

2012-06-29  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	the tables of names to index over to be static, following posting to
	tcl-core by Brian Griffin about a bug caused by Tktreectrl not obeying
	this rule correctly. This does not represent a functionality change,
	merely a clearer documentation of a long-standing constraint.

2012-06-25  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclFileSystem.h:	[Bug 3024359]: Make sure that the
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:	per-thread cache of the list of file systems
	* generic/tclPathObj.c:	currently registered is only updated at times
	when no active loops are traversing it.  Also reduce the amount of
	epoch storing and checking to where it can make a difference.

2012-05-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclFileName.c: When using Tcl_SetObjLength() calls to grow
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:	 and shrink the objPtr->bytes buffer, care must
	be taken that the value cannot possibly become pure Unicode.  Calling
	Tcl_AppendToObj() has the possibility of making such a conversion.  Bug
	found while valgrinding the trunk.

2012-05-17  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): [Bug 3106532]: Corrected
	resulting indexes from -indexvar option to be usable with [string

	-indices] too).
	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
	Uses of [switch -regexp -indexvar] that previously compensated for the
	wrong offsets (by subtracting 1 from the end indices) now do not need
	to do so as the value is correct.

	* library/safe.tcl (safe::InterpInit): Ensure that the module path is
	constructed in the correct order.
	(safe::AliasGlob): [Bug 2964715]: More extensive handling of what
	globbing is required to support package loading.

	* doc/expr.n: [Bug 3525462]: Corrected statement about what happens
	when comparing "0y" and "0x12"; the previously documented behavior was
	actually a subtle bug (now long-corrected).

2012-05-13  Jan Nijtmans  <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

	* win/tclWinDde.c:   Protect against receiving strings without ending
	\0, as external applications (or Tcl with TIP #106) could generate

	* doc/FileSystem.3 (Tcl_FSOpenFileChannelProc): [Bug 3518244]: Fixed

	* library/tzdata/Africa/Cairo: Update to Olson tzdata2011g

2011-05-17  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclFixupForwardJump): Tracked down and fixed
	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclArgumentBCEnter): the cause of a violation of
	my assertion that 'ePtr->nline == objc' in TclArgumentBCEnter.  When a
	bytecode was grown during jump fixup the pc -> command line mapping
	was not updated. When things aligned just wrong the mapping would
	direct command A to the data for command B, with a different number of
	arguments.

2011-05-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclInt.h:     New internal routines TclScanElement() and
	* generic/tclUtil.c:    TclConvertElement() are rewritten guts of
	machinery to produce string rep of lists.  The new routines avoid and
	correct [Bug 3173086].  See comments for much more detail.

	* generic/tclDictObj.c:         Update all callers.
	* generic/tclIndexObj.c:
	* generic/tclListObj.c:
	* generic/tclUtil.c:
	* tests/list.test:

2011-05-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclListObj.c:	Revise empty string tests so that we avoid
	potentially expensive string rep generations, especially for dicts.

2011-05-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclInt.h: Fix USE_TCLALLOC so that it can be enabled without
	* unix/Makefile.in: editing the Makefile.

2011-05-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclListObj.c:	Stop generating string rep of dict when
	converting to list.  Tolerate NULL interps more completely.

2011-05-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclUtil.c:	Tighten Tcl_SplitList().
	* generic/tclListObj.c:	Tighten SetListFromAny().
	* generic/tclDictObj.c:	Tighten SetDictFromAny().

2011-05-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	Revised TclFindElement() interface. The final
	* generic/tclDictObj.c:	argument had been bracePtr, the address of a
	* generic/tclListObj.c:	boolean var, where the caller can be told
	* generic/tclParse.c:	whether or not the parsed list element was
	* generic/tclUtil.c:	enclosed in braces.  In practice, no callers
	really care about that.  What the callers really want to know is
	whether the list element value exists as a literal substring of the
	string being parsed, or whether a call to TclCopyAndCollpase() is
	needed to produce the list element value.  Now the final argument is
	changed to do what callers actually need. This is a better fit for the
	calls in tclParse.c, where now a good deal of post-processing checking
	for "naked backslashes" is no longer necessary.
	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
	For any callers calling in via the internal stubs table who really do
	use the final argument explicitly to check for the enclosing brace
	scenario.  Simply looking for the braces where they must be is the
	revision available to those callers, and it will backport cleanly.

	* tests/parse.test:	Tests for expanded literals quoting detection.

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:	New TclFindElement() is also a better
	fit for the [switch] compiler.

	* generic/tclInt.h:	Replace TclCountSpaceRuns() with
	* generic/tclListObj.c:	TclMaxListLength() which is the function we
	* generic/tclUtil.c:	actually want.
	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: Rewrite of parts of the switch compiler to
	better use the powers of TclFindElement() and do less parsing on
	its own.

2011-04-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclInt.h:	New utility routines:
	* generic/tclParse.c:	TclIsSpaceProc() and TclCountSpaceRuns()

	* win/tclWinFile.c:    compilers use exactly the same layout
	* win/configure.in:    for Tcl_StatBuf - the one used by MSVC6 -
	* win/configure:       in all situations.

2011-04-20  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclFCmd.c (TclFileAttrsCmd): Added commands to reset the
	typePtr of the Tcl_Obj* whose int-rep was just purged. Required to

	also the entries at 2011-04-16 and 2011-03-24 for the history of

	* generic/tclUtil.c:

2011-04-16  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclFCmd.c (TclFileAttrsCmd): Tidied up the memory management
	a bit to try to ensure that the dynamic and static cases don't get
	confused while still promoting caching where possible. Added a panic
	to trap problems in the case where an extension is misusing the API.

2011-04-13  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclUtil.c:	[Bug 3285375]: Rewrite of Tcl_Concat*()

	the new TclTrim*() routines.

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	New internal utility routines TclTrimLeft()
	* generic/tclInt.h:	and TclTrimRight().  Refactor the

	stub entries can never be called. They still cannot be called
	(no change in functionality), but at least they now do
	exactly the same as the Tcl_(Find|Create)HashEntry macro's,

	* generic/tclStrToD.c (SetPrecisionLimits, TclDoubleDigits):
	[Bug 3124675]: Added meaningless initialization of 'i', 'ilim' and

	* 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/tclUtil.c (TclFormatInt): restore TclFormatInt func from
	2005-07-05 macro-ization. Benchmarks indicate it is faster, as a
	key int->string routine (e.g. int-indexed arrays).

2010-11-23  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclVar.c (VarHashInvalidateEntry): Removed obsolete
	  patch for AIX defining this macro as function. This is not

	* 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

	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.59

2010-09-02  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

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

	* library/safe.tcl (safe::AliasGlob): Fixed another problem, the
	option -join does not stop option processing in the core builtin, so
	the emulation must not do that either.

2010-09-01  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/safe.tcl (safe::AliasGlob): Moved the command extending the

	* 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

2010-04-03  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c: (SetStringFromAny): avoid trampling
	over the tclEmptyStringRep as it is thread-shared.

	* generic/tclThreadStorage.c (ThreadStorageGetHashTable):

	destruction of the channel deep inside such a nesting.

2010-03-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetCommandFromObj):     [Bug 2979402]: Reorder

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

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (StringFirstCmd, StringLastCmd): [Bug 2960021]:

	* tools/genStubs.tcl     Backport various formatting (spacing)
	* generic/tcl*.decls     changes from HEAD, so diffing
	* generic/tcl*Decls.h    between 8.5.x and 8.6 shows the
	* generic/tclStubInit.c  real structural differences again.
	                         (any signature change not backported!)

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

	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): More corrections for the 'unset'

	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:	configure script not modified,

	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

	* generic/tclTest.c (TestconcatobjCmd): [Bug 2895367]: Stop memory

	tracking down real problems!

2009-12-10  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclObj.c (TclContinuationsEnter): [Bug 2895323]: Updated
	comments to describe when the function can be entered for the same
	Tcl_Obj* multiple times. This is a continuation of the 2009-11-10
	entry where a memory leak was plugged, but where not sure if that was
	just a band-aid to paper over some other error. It isn't, this is a
	legal situation.

2009-12-09  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	                   by saving the errno from the first of two

	                   specific channel drivers. Four-hands with aku.

	* tests/tcltest.test: Backport permissions fix for Win7.

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().

2009-10-29  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.

	* 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:	Backport fix for [Bug 2888044].

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>

	Thanks to Karl Lehenbauer for reporting this regression.
	* tests/clock.test (clock-52.4):
	Added a regression test for the above bug.

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>.

2009-10-21  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.

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>

	* 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.

	* doc/memory.n: [Bug 988703]: Add mechanism for finding what Tcl_Objs
	* generic/tclCkalloc.c (MemoryCmd): are allocated when built for
	* generic/tclInt.decls: memory debugging. This was previously
	* generic/tclInt.h: backported from Tcl 8.6 with the corrections to
	* generic/tclObj.c (ObjData, TclFinalizeThreadObjects): fix [Bug
	2871908]. However, there were key elements missing. These changes make
	things consistent between branches.

	* generic/tclVar.c (TclDeleteCompiledLocalVars, UnsetVarStruct)
	(TclDeleteNamespaceVars):

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/tclTomMathInt.h (new): Public header tclTomMath.h had

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 (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Plug memory leak.

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

2009-08-06  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* doc/refchan.n [Bug 2827000]: Extended the implementation of
	* generic/tclIORChan.c: reflective channels (TIP 219, method
	* tests/ioCmd.test: 'read'), enabling handlers to signal EAGAIN to
	indicate 'no data, but not at EOF either', and other system
	errors. Updated documentation, extended testsuite (New test cases
	iocmd*-23.{9,10}).

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

	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (GetOwnerAttribute, SetOwnerAttribute)
	(GetGroupAttribute, SetGroupAttribute): [Bug 1942222]: Stop calling

	they've been unnecessary for ages.

2009-07-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c: [Bug 2830354]:	Corrected failure to

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetChannelHandle): [Bug 2826248]: Do not crash
	* generic/tclPipe.c (FileForRedirect): for getHandleProc == NULL, this
	is allowed. Provide a nice error message in the bypass area. Updated

2009-07-20  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* 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.

2009-07-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:	Removed unused variables.
	* generic/tclCompile.c:

	* generic/tclScan.c:	Typo in ACCEPT_NAN configuration.

	* generic/tclStrToD.c:	[Bug 2819200]: Set floating point control
	register on MIPS systems so that the gradual underflow expected by Tcl
	is in effect.

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode):
	* generic/tclInt.h (ExtIndex, CFWordBC):
	* tests/info.test (info-39.0):

	Backport of some changes made to the Tcl head, to handle literal
	sharing better. The code here is much simpler (trimmed down) compared
	to the head as the 8.5 branch is not bytecode compiling whole files,
	and doesn't compile eval'd code either.

	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).

2009-07-01  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinInt.h:   [Bug 2806622]: Handle the GetUserName API call
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: via the tclWinProcs indirection structure. This
	* win/tclWinInit.c:  fixes a problem obtaining the username when the
	USERNAME environment variable is unset.

2009-06-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c: sprintf() -> Tcl_ObjPrintf() conversion.

2009-06-13  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* 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
	formats of really big integers.  Also added protections so that
	[format]s that would produce results overflowing the maximum string
	length of Tcl values throw a normal Tcl error instead of a panic.

2006-06-09  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* 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.
	* generic/tclDate.c: bison 2.3

	wrong both ways.)

	[Bug 2494093] and [Bug 2553906].

2009-03-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/Alloc.3: [Bug 2556263]:	Size argument is "unsigned int".

	* 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

	command and added tests to the test suite.  [Bug 2603158]

2009-03-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclPathObj.c (TclPathPart): [Bug 2710920]: TclPathPart()
	* tests/fileName.test:	was computing the wrong results for both [file
	dirname] and [file tail] on "path" arguments with the PATHFLAGS != 0
	intrep and with an empty string for the "joined-on" part.

2009-03-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/stringObj.test:         [Bug 2597185]: Test stringObj-6.9
	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.

	Added support for SIGINFO, which is present on BSD platforms.

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

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

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.

2009-02-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

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

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

	* generic/tclStringObj.c (SetUnicodeObj):	[Bug 2561488]:

	length of the result of [string repeat].  [Bug 2561746]

2009-01-29  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_FindCommand): [Bug 2519474]: Ensure that
	the path is not searched when the TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY flag is given.

2009-01-22  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* unix/tcl.m4: Corrected a typo ($(SHLIB_VERSION) should be
	${SHLIB_VERSION}).
	* unix/configure: Autoconf 2.59

2009-01-21  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclIORChan.c (ReflectClose): Fix for [Bug 2458202].
	Closing a channel may supply NULL for the 'interp'. Test for
	finalization needs to be different, and one place has to pull the
	interp out of the channel instead.

2009-01-19  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* unix/Makefile.in: [Patch 907924]:Added a CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR
	* unix/tcl.m4:      parameter so that 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 his help.
	* unix/configure: Autoconf 2.59

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

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

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

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

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, tests/string.test: Eliminate non-ASCII characters.
	[Bugs 2006884, 2006879]

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.
