1999-04-06 <stanton@scriptics.com>
* tests/unixNotfy.test: Fixed hang in tests when built with thread
support.
* tests/httpold.test: Fixed broken test that didn't wait long
enough for events to arrive.
* tests/unixInit.test: Fixed race condition in test.
* tests/unixInit.test:
* tests/fileName.test: Minor test nits.
* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): Fixed bad initial
encoding string.
1999-04-06 <surles@scriptics.com>
* generic/tclVar.c:
* generic/tclEnv.c: Moved the "array set" C level code into a
common routine (TclArraySet). The TclSetupEnv routine now uses
this API to create an env array w/ no elements.
* generic/tclEnv.c:
* generic/tclWinInit.h:
* generic/tclUnixInit.h:
* generic/tclInt.h: Made the Env module I18N compliant. Changed the
FindVariable routine to TclpFindVariable, that now does a case
insensitive string comparison on Windows, and not on UNIX. [Bug:
1299, 1500]
1999-04-05 <stanton@scriptics.com>
* tests/io.test: Minor test cleanup.
* generic/tclEncoding.c (Tcl_CreateEncoding): Minor lint to make
it easier to compile on Digital-unix. [Bug: 1659]
* unix/configure.in:
* unix/tclUnixPort.h: Applied patch for OS/390 to handle lack of
sys/param.h. [Bug: 1725]
* unix/configure.in: Fixed BSD/OS 4.* configuration to support
shared libraries properly. [Bug: 1730]
1999-04-05 <redman@scriptics.com>
* win/tclWinDde.c: decrease timeout value for DDE calls to 30k
[Bug: 1639]
* generic/tcl.decls:
* generic/tcl.h:
* generic/tclDecls.h:
* generic/tclInt.decls:
* generic/tclInt.h:
* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
* generic/tclStubInit.c:
* generic/tclUtil.c: Added more functions to the Tcl stubs table,
including all Tcl_ functions not already in it (except Cmd
functions) and Tcl_GetCwd() and Tcl_Chdir() (new functions).
* tests/safe.test:
* doc/safe.n:
* generic/tclBasic.c:
* library/safe.tcl: The encoding command is not safe as-is, so
create a safe alias to mask out the "encoding system <name>" but
allow all other uses including "encoding system". Added test cases
and updated the man page for Safe Tcl.
1999-04-05 <stanton@scriptics.com>
* tests/winTime.test:
* win/tclWinTime.c: Fixed crash in clock command that occurred
when manipulating negative time values in timezones east of
GMT. [Bug: 1142, 1458]
* tests/platform.test:
* tests/fileName.test: Fixed broken tests.
* generic/tclFileName.c: Moved global regexps into thread local
storage.
* tests/socket.test: Changed so tests don't reuse sockets,
since Windows is slow to release sockets.
* win/tclWinConsole.c:
* win/tclWinPipe.c:
* win/tclWinSerial.c: Fixed race condition where background
threads were terminated while they still held a lock in the
notifier.
1999-04-02 <stanton@scriptics.com>
* tests/http.test: Fixed bad test initialization code.
* generic/tclThreadTest.c (ThreadExitProc): Fixed bug where static
memory was being returned instead of a dynamically allocated
result in error cases.
1999-04-02 <redman@scriptics.com>
* doc/dde.n:
* tools/tcl.wse.in:
* win/makefile.vc:
* win/pkgIndex.tcl:
* win/tclWinDde.c: Add new DDE package, code removed from Tk now
separated into its own package. Changed DDE-based send code into
"dde eval" command. Can be loaded into tclsh (not just wish).
Windows only.
1999-04-02 <stanton@scriptics.com>
* tests/expr.test:
* tests/for-old.test:
* tests/for.test:
* tests/foreach.test:
* tests/format.test:
* tests/httpold.test:
* tests/if.test:
* tests/init.test:
* tests/interp.test:
* tests/while.test: Added some tests for known bugs (marked with
knownBug constraint), and cleaned up a few bad tests.
* generic/regc_locale.c:

public. The following functions were made public and added to the
stubs table:
Tcl_UtfToUniCharDString, Tcl_UniCharToUtfDString,
Tcl_UniCharLen, Tcl_UniCharNcmp, Tcl_UniCharIsAlnum,
Tcl_UniCharIsAlpha, Tcl_UniCharIsDigit, Tcl_UniCharIsLower,
Tcl_UniCharIsSpace, Tcl_UniCharIsUpper, Tcl_UniCharIsWordChar
1999-04-01 <stanton@scriptics.com>
* tests/registry.test:
* win/tclWinReg.c: Internationalized the registry code. It now
uses Unicode interfaces on NT. [Bug: 1197]
* tests/parse.test:
* generic/tclParse.c: Fixed crash due to multiple frees in parser
during error cleanup when parsing commands with more tokens than
will fit in the static area of the parse structure. [Bug: 1681]
* generic/tclInt.h: Removed duplicate declarations.
* generic/tclInt.decls:
* generic/tcl.decls: Added Tcl_WinUtfToTChar and Tcl_WinTCharToUtf
to the tclPlat table.

* generic/StubInit.c:
* tools/genStubs.tcl:
* unix/Makefile.in:
* win/makefile.vc: Applied patch from Jan Nijtmans to fix Ultrix
multiple symbol definition problem. Now, even Tcl includes a copy
of the Tcl stub library. Also fixed TCL_MEM_DEBUG mode (for Tk).
1999-03-31 <redman@scriptics.com>
* win/tclWinConsole.c: WinNT has a bug when reading a single
character from the console. Rewrote the code for the console to
read an entire line at a time using the reader thread.
1999-03-30 <stanton@scriptics.com>
* unix/Makefile.in: Removed trailing backslash that broke the
"depend" target.
* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): Changed to avoid
calling setlocale(). We now look directly at env(LANG) and
env(LC_CTYPE) instead. [Bug: 1636]
* generic/tclFileName.c:
* generic/tclDecls.h:
* generic/tcl.decls: Removed CONST from Tcl_JoinPath and
Tcl_TranslateFileName because it changes the signature of
Tcl_JoinPath in an incompatible manner.
* generic/tclInt.h:
* generic/tclLoad.c (TclFinalizeLoad):
* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Defer unloading of loadable
modules until all exit handlers have been invoked.
[Bug: 998, 1273, 1573, 1593]
1999-03-29 <stanton@scriptics.com>
* generic/tclFileName.c:
* generic/tclDecls.h:

* generic/tclBasic.c:
* generic/tclDecls.h:
* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:
* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: Removed the stub functions and
changed the stub macros to just use the name without params. Pass
&tclStubs into the interp (don't use tclStubsPtr because of
collisions with the stubs on Solaris).
1999-03-27 <redman@scriptics.com>
* win/makefile.bc: Removed makefile for Borland compiler, no
longer supported.
1999-03-26 <redman@scriptics.com>
* win/tclWinSerial.c:
* win/tclWinConsole.c:
* win/tclWinPipe.c: Don't close the Win32 handle for a channel if
it's a stdio handle (GetStdHandle()) during shutdown of a thread
to prevent it from destroying the stdio of other threads.
1999-03-26 <suresh@scriptics.com>
* unix/configure.in
--nameble-shared is now the default and build Tcl as a shared
library; specify --disable-shared to build a static Tcl library
and shell.
1999-03-25 <stanton@scriptics.com>
* tests/interp.test:
* generic/tclInterp.c (AliasObjCmd): Changed so aliases are
invoked at current scope in the target interpreter instead of at
the global scope. This was an incompatibility introduced in 8.1
that is being removed. [Bug: 1153, 1556]
* library/encoding/big5.enc:
* library/encoding/gb2312.enc:
* tools/encoding/big5.enc:
* tools/encoding/gb2312.enc: Added ASCII to big5 and gb2312
encodings. [Bug: 632]
* generic/tclPkg.c (Tcl_PkgRequireEx): Fixed broken clientData
initialization in package code.
* unix/Makefile.in (dist): Added tcl.decls and tclInt.decls to
source distribution. [Bug: 1571]
* doc/Thread.3: Updated documentation of Tcl_MutexLock to indicate
that the recursive locking behavior is undefined. On Windows, it
does not block, on Unix it deadlocks. [Bug: 1275]
1999-03-24 <stanton@scriptics.com>
* tests/execute.test:
* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Fixed expression code
that incorrectly returned floating point values for integers if
the internal rep happened to be a double. Now we check to see if
the object has a string rep that looks like an integer before
using the double internal rep. [Bug: 1516]
1999-03-24 <redman@scriptics.com>
* generic/tclAlloc.c:
* generic/tclEncoding.c:
* generic/tclProc.c:
* unix/tclUnixTime.c:
* win/tclWinSerial.c: Fixed compilation warnings/errors for VC++
5.0 and 6.0 and HP-UX native compiler without -Aa or -Ae.
[Bug: 1323 1518 1324 1583 1585 1586]
* win/tclWinSock.c: Make sockets thread-safe on Windows. The
current implementation uses windows to handle events on the
socket, one for each thread (thread local storage). Previously,
there was only one window shared between threads, which didn't
work. [Bug: 1326]
1999-03-23 <stanton@scriptics.com>
* tools/tcl.wse: Fixed file association to look in the right place
for the wish icon. [Bug: 1544]
* tests/winNotify.test:
* tests/ioCmd.test:
* tests/event.test: Changed to use new style conditionals.
* tests/encoding.test: Fixed nonportable test.
* unix/dltest/configure.in:
* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Added missing DBGX macros. [Bug: 1564]
* tests/winNotify.test:
* mac/tclMacNotify.c:
* win/tclWinNotify.c:
* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
* generic/tclNotify.c: Added a new Tcl_ServiceModeHook interface
that is invoked whenever the service mode changes. This is needed
to allow the Windows notifier to create a communication window the
first time Tcl is about to enter an external modal event loop
instead of at startup time. This will avoid the various problems
that people have been seeing where the system hangs when tclsh
is running outside of the event loop. [Bug: 783]
* generic/tclInt.h:
* generic/tcl.decls: Renamed TclpAlertNotifier back to
Tcl_AlertNotifier since it is part of the public notifier driver
API.
1999-03-23 <redman@scriptics.com>
* win/tclWinSerial.c: Fixed problem with fileevent on the serial
port and nonblocking mode. Gets no longer hangs, fileevents fire
whenever there is any character data on the port.
* tests/winConsole.test:
* win/tclWinConsole.c: Fixed problem with fileevents and gets from
a console stdin. Previously, fileevents were firing before an
entire line was available for reading, which meant that when you
did a gets or read, it blocked (even in nonblocking mode). Now, it
should work the same as Unix: fileevents fire when an entire line
is ready, and gets and read do not block in non-blocking mode.
Added an interactive test case to check for this.
1999-03-22 <stanton@scriptics.com>
* tests/reg.test:
* generic/regc_color.c: Applied regexp bug fix from Henry Spencer.
1999-03-19 <redman@scriptics.com>
* generic/tclCmdIL.c: Fixed the initialization of an array so that
the Sun 5.0 C compiler wouldn't complain.
* unix/configure.in: Added support for --enable-64bit. For now,
this is only supported on Solaris 7 64bit (SunOS 5.7) using the Sun
compiler (not gcc).
1999-03-18 <stanton@scriptics.com>
* win/tclWinChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel, Tcl_MakeFileChannel):
Changed to only test for console or comm handles when the type is
FILE_TYPE_CHAR to avoid useless tests on simple files. Also
reordered tests so consoles are tested first as this is more
common.
* win/makefile.vc: Regularized usage of mkd and rmd and rm.
* library/encoding/shiftjis.enc:
* tools/encoding/shiftjis.txt: Missing/incorrect characters in
shift-jis table. [Bug: 1008, 1526]
* generic/tclInt.decls:
* generic/tcl.decls: Eliminated use of "string" and "list" from
argument lists to avoid conflicts with C++ STL. [Bug: 1181]
* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchFiles): Changed to ignore the
FS_CASE_IS_PRESERVED bit and always return exactly what we get
from the system.
1999-03-17 <stanton@GASPODE>
* win/README.binary:
* win/README:
* unix/configure.in:

1999-03-14 <stanton@GASPODE>
* win/tclWinConsole.c:
* win/tclWinPipe.c:
* win/tclWinSerial.c: Changed so channel drivers wait for the
reader/writer threads to exit before returning during a close
operation. This ensures that the main thread is the last thread
to exit, so the process return value is set properly.
* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
* generic/tclIntPlatStubs.c:
* generic/tclIntStubs.c:
* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:
* generic/tclPlatStubs.c:
* generic/tclStubInit.c:
* generic/tclStubs.c: Fixed bad eol characters.
* generic/tclInt.decls: Changed "const" to "CONST" in
declarations for better portability.
* generic/tcl.decls: Renamed panic and panicVA to Tcl_Panic and
Tcl_PanicVA in the stub files.
* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_MakeSafe): Remove tcl_platform(user)
from safe interps.
1999-03-11 <stanton@GASPODE>
* unix/Makefile.in:
* unix/configure.in: Include compat files in the stub library in
addition to the main library. Compat files are now built for
dynamic use in all cases.
* generic/tcl.h: Changed magic number so it doesn't match the plus
patch, at Jan's request.
* unix/tclConfig.sh.in:
* unix/dltest/Makefile.in:
* unix/dltest/configure.in:
* unix/dltest/pkga.c:
* unix/dltest/pkgb.c:
* unix/dltest/pkgc.c:

* unix/dltest/pkgf.c: Changed package tests to build against the
stubs library.
1999-03-10 <stanton@GASPODE>
* generic/tcl.h:
* generic/tcl.decls: Changed Tcl_ReleaseType from an enum to
macros so it can be used in .rc files.
Added Tcl_GetString.
* mac/tclMacNotify.c:
* generic/tclNotify.c:
* generic/tclInt.h:
* win/tclWinNotify.c:
* generic/tcl.h: Renamed Tcl_AlertNotifier to TclpAlertNotifier.
* generic/tclInt.decls: Added TclWinAddProcess to make it possible
for expect to use Tcl_WaitForPid(). This patch is from Gordon
Chaffee.
* mac/tclMacPort.h:
* win/tclWinInit.c:
* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
* generic/tclAsync.c: Added TclpAsyncMark to fix bug in async
handling on Windows where async events don't wake up the event
loop. This patch comes from Gordon Chaffee.
* generic/tcl.decls: Fixed declarations of reserved slots.
1999-03-10 <redman@scriptic.com>
* generic/tclCompile.h: Ensure that the ByteCode struct is binary
compatible with the version in 8.0.6.
* generic/tcl.h:
* generic/tclBasic.c: Add Tcl_GetVersion() function to the public
C API to allow programs to check the version number of the Tcl
library at runtime. Also added an enum to clarify the release
level (alpha, beta, final).
1999-03-09 <stanton@GASPODE>
* Integrated changes from Tcl 8.0 including:
stubs mechanism
configure patches from Jan Nijtmans
rename of panic to Tcl_Panic
1999-03-08 <lfb@scriptics.com>
* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Removed Dll instance from thread-local
storage.
1999-03-08 <stanton@GASPODE>
* generic/tcl.h: Moved Tcl_Mutex, etc. macros above the inclusion
of tclDecls.h to avoid macro conflicts.

* tools/genStubs.tcl:
* unix/configure.in:
* unix/Makefile.in:
* unix/tclConfig.sh.in:
* win/makefile.vc:
* win/tclWinPort.h: Added Tcl stubs implementation. There are
now two new macros USE_TCL_STUBS and USE_TCL_STUB_PROCS that
enable use of stubs and disable stub macros respectively. All of
the public and private function declarations from tcl.h and
tclInt.h have moved into the *.decls files and the *Stubs.c and
*Decls.h files are generated using the genStubs.tcl script.
* unix/Makefile.in:
* unix/configure.in:
* unix/ldAix: Enhanced AIX shared library support.
* win/tclWinSock.c: Removed a bunch of extraneous PASCAL FAR
attributes from internal functions.
* win/tclWinReg.c: Changed registry package to use stubs mechanism
so it no longer depends on the specific version of Tcl.
* doc/AddErrInfo.3:
* doc/Eval.3:
* doc/PkgRequire.3:
* doc/SetResult.3:
* doc/StringObj.3:
* generic/tcl.h:
* generic/tclBasic.c:
* generic/tclPanic.c:
* generic/tclStringObj.c:
* generic/tclUtil.c:
* unix/mkLinks: Added va_list versions of all VARARGS
functions so they can be invoked from the stub functions.
* doc/package.n:
* doc/PkgRequire.3:
* generic/tclPkg.c: Added Tcl_PkgProvideEx, Tcl_RequireEx,
Tcl_PresentEx, and Tcl_PkgPresent. Added "package present"
command.
* generic/tclFileName.c:
* mac/tclMacFile.c:
* mac/tclMacShLib.exp:
* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
* win/tclWinFile.c: Changed so TclGetUserHome is defined on
all platforms, even though it is currently a noop on mac and
windows, and renamed it to TclpGetUserHome.
* generic/tclPanic.c:
* generic/panic.c: Renamed panic to Tcl_Panic.
1999-02-25 <redman@scriptics.com>
* win/makefile.vc: Added tclWinConsole.c and tclWinSerial.c
* win/tclWinConsole.c: New code to properly deal with fileevents
and nonblocking mode on consoles.
* win/tclWinSerial.c: New code to properly deal with fileevents
and nonblocking mode on serial ports.
* win/tclWinPipe.c:
* win/tclWinPort.h: Exported functions to allow creation of pipe
channels from tclWinChan.c
* win/tclWinChan.c: Check the type of a channel, including for the
standard (stdin/stdout/stderr), and use the correct channel type
to create the channel (file, serial, console, or pipe).
1999-02-11 <stanton@GASPODE>
* README:
* generic/tcl.h:
* win/README.binary:
* win/README:
* unix/configure.in:
* mac/README: Updated version numbers to 8.1b2.
1999-02-10 <stanton@GASPODE>
* library/auto.tcl: Fixed auto_mkindex so it handles .tbc files.
Did some general cleanup to handle bad eval statements that didn't
use "list".
* unix/mkLinks:
* doc/SetVar.3:
* generic/tcl.h:
* generic/tclVar.c: Restored Tcl_ObjGetVar2 and Tcl_ObjSetVar2
from 8.0. Renamed Tcl_Get/SetObjVar2 to Tcl_GetVar2Ex and
Tcl_SetVar2Ex.
1999-02-10 <stanton@GASPODE>
INTEGRATED PATCHES FROM 8.0.5b2:
* test/winPipe.test: Changed to remove echoArgs.tcl temporary file
when done.
* tests/cmdAH.test:
* generic/tclFileName.c (TclGetExtension): Changed behavior so the
split happens at the last period in the name instead of the first
period of the last run of periods. So, "foo..o" is split into
"foo." and ".o" now. [Bug: 1126]
* win/makefile.vc: Added better support for paths with spaces in
the name. Added .lib and support .dlls to the install-binaries
target. Added generate of a pkgIndex.tcl script to the
install-libraries target.
* win/tclAppInit.c:
* unix/tclAppInit.c:
* mac/tclMacAppInit.c:
* generic/tclTest.c: Changed some EXTERN declarations to extern
since they are not defining exported interfaces. This avoids
generating useless declspec() attributes and makes the windows
makefile simpler.
* generic/tcl.h: Moved Tcl_AppInit declaration to end and cleared
out TCL_STORAGE_CLASS so it is not declared with a declspec().
* tests/interp.test:
* generic/tclInterp.c (DeleteAlias): Changed to use
Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken so we handle renames properly. This
avoids senseless panic. [Bug: 736]
* unix/tclUnixChan.c:
* win/tclWinSock.c:
* doc/socket.n: Applied Gordon Chaffee's patch to handle failures
during asynchronous socket connection operations. This adds a new
"-error" fconfgure option to socket channels. [Bug: 893]
* generic/tclProc.c:
* generic/tclNamesp.c:
* generic/tclInt.h:
* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
* generic/tclBasic.c:
* generic/tclVar.c: Applied patch from Viktor Dukhovni to
rationalize TCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG behavior when creating variables.
* generic/tclVar.c: Fixed bug in namespace tail computation.
Fixed bug where upvar could resurrect a namespace variable whose
namespace had been deleted.
* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileExprCmd): Eliminated yet another
bogus optimization in expression compilation.
* unix/configure.in: Added branch for BSD/OS-4* to shared library
case statement. [Bug: 975]
Fixed to correctly handle IRIX 6.5 n32 library support. [Bug: 1117]
* win/winDumpExts.c: Patched to be pickier about stripping
@'s. [Bug: 920]
* library/http2.0/http.tcl: Added catch around eof test in
CopyDone since the user may have already called http::reset.
[Bug: 1108]
* unix/configure.in: Changed Linux and IRIX to set SHLIB_LIBS to
LIBS so shared libraries are linked with the system
libraries. [Bug: 1018]
* generic/tclCompile.c (CompileExprWord): Fixed exception stack
overflow bug caused by missing statement. [Bug: 928]
* generic/tclIOCmd.c:
* generic/tclBasic.c: Objectified the "open" command. [Bug: 1113]
* generic/tclPosixStr.c (Tcl_ErrnoId, Tcl_ErrnoMsg): When using
egcs, ENOTSUP and EOPNOTSUPP are the same, so now we handle that
case. [Bug: 1137]
* library/init.tcl: Various small changes requested by Jan Nijtmans.
- If the variable $tcl_library contains the empty string, this
empty string will be put in $auto_path. This is not useful at all,
it only slows down later package processing.
- If the variable tcl_pkgPath is not set, the "unset __dir"
fails. Thich makes init.tcl totally unusable. Better put a "catch"
around it.
- In the function tcl_findLibraries, the "string match" function
only works correctly if $tcl_patchLevel is in one of the forms
"?.?a?", "?.?b?" or "?.?.?". Could a "regexp" be used instead,
then it allows anything to be appended to the patchLevel
string. And it is more efficient.
- The tclPkgSetup function assumes that if $type != "load" then
the type must be "source". This needn't be true. Some users want
to add their own setup types.
[RFE: 1138] [Bug: 978]
* win/tclWinReg.c:
* doc/registry.n: Added support for HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA and
HKEY_DYN_DATA keys. [Bug: 1109]
* win/tclWinInit.c (TclPlatformInit): Added code to ensure
tcl_pkgPath is set to "" when no registry entry is found. [Bug: 978]
1999-02-01 <stanton@GASPODE>
* generic/tclBasic.c:
* generic/tclCmdAH.c:
* generic/tclCmdIL.c:
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
* generic/tclExecute.c:
* generic/tclHistory.c:
* generic/tclIO.c:

* generic/tclNamesp.c:
* generic/tclParse.c:
* generic/tclProc.c:
* generic/tclTest.c:
* generic/tclTimer.c:
* generic/tcl.h: Made eval interfaces compatible with 8.0 by
renaming Tcl_EvalObj to Tcl_EvalObjEx, renaming Tcl_Eval2 to
Tcl_EvalEx and restoring Tcl_EvalObj and Tcl_GlobalEvalObj
interfaces so they match Tcl 8.0.
1999-01-28 <stanton@GASPODE>
* Merged Tcl 8.0.5b1 changes.
* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_DStringSetLength): Changed so the buffer
overallocates in a manner similar to Tcl_DStringAppend. This
should improve performance for TclUniCharToUtfDString.
1998-12-11 === Tcl 8.1b1 Release ===
1998-12-10 <stanton@GASPODE>
* Fixed lots of files that used TCL_THREAD instead of TCL_THREADS.
* generic/tclEncoding.c (Tcl_FreeEncoding): Moved most of the code
into a static FreeEncoding routine that does not grab the
encodingMutex to avoid deadlocks/races when called from other
routines that already have the mutex.
1998-12-09 <stanton@GASPODE>
* library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: Fixed bad export list, fixed so
all locale strings are converted to lower case, including file
names.
* generic/regcomp.c (makescan): Fixed bug in longest match case
that caused anchored patterns to fail. [Bug: 897]
1998-12-08 <stanton@GASPODE>
* library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: changed mc to invoke mcunknown in
the calling context, changed locale lookups to be case insensitive
1998-12-07 <stanton@GASPODE>
* generic/tclAlloc.c (TclpRealloc): Fixed a memory allocation bug
where big blocks that were reallocated into a different heap
location were not being placed into the bigBlocks list. [Bug: 933]
* tests/msgcat.test: Added message catalog test suite.
* library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: minor bug fixes, integrated latest
changes from Mark Harrison.
1998-12-04 <stanton@GASPODE>
* library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: Changed code to conform to Tcl
coding standards. Changed to use file join for portability.
* library/msgcat1.0: Added initial implementaion of Tcl message
catalog package contributed by Mark Harrison.
1998-12-03 <stanton@GASPODE>
* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Fixed bug that kept
arguments containing spaces from being properly quoted.
* tests/defs: Changed so auto_path is set to only contain the Tcl
library directory. This keeps the tests from accidentally picking
up stuff in installed packages.
* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_StringMatch): Changed to match 8.0
behavior in corner case where there is no closing bracket.
1998-12-02 <stanton@GASPODE>
* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateCommandChannel): Changed
reader/writer threads to have THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGHEST so they will
have a chance to run whenever there is something to do.
* generic/tclIO.c (WriteBytes, WriteChars): Fixed so extraneous
flushes do not happen in line mode.
(TranslateOutputEOL): Made translation more efficient in line mode
and fixed a buffer overflow bug in CRLF translation. [Bug: 887]
1998-12-02 <welch@SAGE>
* Updated patchlevel to 8.1b1
1998-12-02 <stanton@GASPODE>
* generic/regc_color.c (subcolor): Added check for error case to
avoid an out of bounds array reference.
* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_EncodingObjCmd): Changed to avoid using
Tcl_DStringResult because it is not binary clean.
* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseCommand): Fixed bug in comment
parsing where a trailing comment looked like an incomplete
command.
1998-12-02 <welch@SAGE>
* Merged changes from 8.0.4, especially the new pkg_mkIndex
1998-12-01 <stanton@GASPODE>
* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ReadChars): Added a call to UpdateInterest
so we don't block when there is data sitting in the buffers.
* generic/tclTest.c (TestevalobjvObjCmd): Updated for EvalObjv
change.
* tests/parse.test: Updated tests for EvalObjv change.
* generic/tclParse.c (EvalObjv, Tcl_EvalObjv): Changed
Tcl_EvalObjv interface to remove string and length arguments,
preserved original interface as EvalObjv for internal use.
* generic/tcl.h: Changed Tcl_EvalObjv interface to remove string
and length arguments.
* doc/Eval.3: Updated documentation for Tcl_EvalObjv to remove
string and length arguments.
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileForeachCmd): Fixed code that
corrupted the exceptDepth value in the compile environment when
foreach failed to compile inline. [Bug: 884]
* library/encoding/euc-kr.enc:
* library/encoding/ksc5601.enc:
* tools/encoding/ksc5601.txt:
* unix/tclUnixInit.c: Added support for Korean EUC.
* win/tclWinChan.c (TclpGetDefaultStdChannel): added check for a
failure during Tcl_MakeFileChannel.
1998-11-30 <stanton@GASPODE>
* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): Fixed hang that occurs
when trying to close a pipe that is currently being waited on by
the notifier thread. [Bug: 607]
* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (GetPermissionsAttribute): Increase size of
returnString buffer to avoid overflow. [Bug: 584]
* generic/tclThreadTest.c (TclThreadSend): Fixed memory leak due
to use of TCL_VOLATILE instead of TCL_DYNAMIC.
* generic/tclThread.c (TclRememberSyncObject): Fixed memory leak
caused by failure to reuse condition variables.
* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: (Tcl_AlertNotifier, Tcl_WaitForEvent,
NotifierThreadProc, Tcl_InitNotifier): Fixed race condition caused
by incorrect use of condition variables when sending messages
between threads.. [Bug: 607]
* generic/tclTestObj.c (TeststringobjCmd): MAX_STRINGS was off by one
so the strings array was too small.
* generic/tclCkalloc.c (Tcl_DbCkfree): Moved mutex lock so
ValidateMemory is done inside the mutex to avoid a race condition
when validate_memory is enabled. [Bug: 880]
1998-11-23 <stanton@GASPODE>
* regexec.c: more performance tuning from Henry Spencer.
1998-11-17 <stanton@GASPODE>
* tclScan.c: moved "scan" implementation out of tclCmdMZ.c and
added Unicode support. This required a complete reimplementation
of the command to avoid using scanf(), which isn't Unicode aware.
Two new features were added in the process: %n to return the
current number of characters consumed, and XPG3-style %n$ argument
order specifiers similar to those provided by the "format"
command. [Bug: 833]
* tclAlloc.c: changed so allocated memory is always 8-byte aligned
to improve memory performance and to ensure that it will work on
systems that don't like accessing 4-byte aligned values
(e.g. Solaris and HP-UX). [Bug: 834]
1998-11-06 <stanton@GASPODE>
* tclVar.c (TclGetIndexedScalar): Fixed bug 796, var name was
getting lost before being passed to CallTraces.
1998-10-21 <stanton@GASPODE>
* added "encoding" command
* Moved internal regexp declarations from tclInt.h to tclRegexp.h
* integrated regexp updates from Henry Spencer
1998-10-15 <stanton@GASPODE>
* tclUtf.c: added Unicode character table support
* tclInt.h: added TclUniCharIsWordChar
* tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): added "totitle" subcommand,
changed "wordend" and "wordstart" to properly handle Unicode word
characters and connector punctuation
1998-10-05 <stanton@GASPODE>
* auto.tcl, package.tcl: fixed SCCS strings
* tclIndex: updated index to reflect 8.1 files
* tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): changed to avoid modifying the
input string in place because name lookup operations could have
arbitrary side effects
* tclInterp.c: added guard against deleting current interpreter
* tclMacFile.c, tclUnixFile.c, tclWinFile.c, tclFileName.c: added
