        * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FileObjCmd): Changed FILE_ prefix to FCMD_

        * win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Don't default to -O.
        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Don't default to -O.  
        CFLAGS gets set to "-O2" by default in top level
        configure. Adding "-O" here causes the "-O2" to be
        ignored, but only when the user types "make" within
        the tcl subdirectory. This caused some confusion.
        * win/configure: Rebuilt.
        * unix/configure: Rebuilt.

        * generic/tclEnv.c (TclUnsetEnv): Cast arg to unsigned.

        Import from latest tcl sources to fix a bug with
        "file copy"
        2003-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>  
        * win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, DoCopyFile, squelch_warnings):
        Re-implement inline ASM SEH handlers for gcc.
        The esp and ebp registers are now saved on the
        stack instead of in global variables so that
        the code is thread safe. Add additional checks
        when TCL_MEM_DEBUG is defined to be sure the
        values were recovered from the stack properly.
        Remove squelch_warnings functions and add
        a dummy call in the handler methods to squelch
        compiler warnings.
        * win/tclWinReg.c: Add casts to avoid compiler
        warning. Fix assignment in if expression bug.

        the dirs in DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH (if set). [Patch #624509]
        use standard MAXPATHLEN instead of literal 1024

2002-10-22  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * doc/StringObj.3, doc/Object.3: Documented that Tcl_Obj's
        standard string form is a modified UTF-8; apparently, this was not

        * unix/tclLoadShl.c
        * win/tclWinLoad.c: allow either full paths or simply dll names

        is mixed with other options. [Bug 617816]

2002-10-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclProc.c (TclCreateProc): mask out VAR_UNDEFINED for
        precompiled locals to support 8.3 precompiled code.
        (Tcl_ProcObjCmd): correct 2002-09-26 fix to look for tclProcBodyType.

2002-10-01  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): correct the
        checking for bad re's that didn't terminate the re string.
        Resultant compiles were correct, but much slower than necessary.

2002-09-29  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * win/tclAppInit.c: Added proper exiting conditions using Win32
        console signals.  This handles the existing lack of a Ctrl+C exit
        to call exit handlers when built for thread support.  Also, properly
        handles exits from other conditions such as CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT,
        CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT, and CTRL_SHUTDOWN_EVENT signals.  In all cases,
        exit handlers will be called.  [Bug 219355]

        * win/makefile.vc: Added missing tclThreadAlloc.c to the build
        rules and defines USE_THREAD_ALLOC when TCL_THREADS is defined
        to get the new behavior by default.

2002-09-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * README:               Bumped to version 8.4.1 to avoid confusion

        * win/configure:

2002-09-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * unix/configure: regen.
        * unix/tcl.m4: improve AIX-4/5 64bit compilation support.

        * generic/tclProc.c (Tcl_ProcObjCmd): correct overeager
        optimization of noop proc to handle the precompiled case. (sofer)

        * unix/ldAix (nmopts): add -X32_64 to make it work for 32 or 64bit
        mode compilation.

        * library/encoding/koi8-u.enc: removed extraneous spaces that
        confused encoding reader. [Bug #615115]

        * unix/Makefile.in: generate source dists with -src designator and
        do not generate .Z anymore (just .gz and .zip).

2002-09-18  Mumit Khan <khan@nanotech.wisc.edu>

        Added basic Cygwin support.

        * win/configure.in: Allow Cygwin build.
        (SEH test): Define to be 1 instead of empty value.
        (EXCEPTION_DISPOSITION): Add test.
        * win/configure: Regenerate.

        * generic/tcl.h: Don't explicitly define __WIN32__ for Cygwin, let
        the user decide whether to use Windows or POSIX personality.
        (TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE, TCL_LL_MODIFIER, struct Tcl_StatBuf): Define
        for Cygwin.

2002-09-26  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

        * macosx/Makefile: preserve environment value of INSTALL_ROOT.
        When embedding only use deployment build. Force relink before
        embedded build to ensure new linker flags are picked up.

        * macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: add symbolic links to
        debug lib, stub libs and tclConfig.sh in framework toplevel.
        Configure target dependency fix. Fix to 'clean' action. Added
        private tcl headers to framework. Install tclsh symbolic link.
        Html doc build works when no installed tclsh available. Made
        html doc structure in framework more like in Apple frameworks.

2002-09-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_TCL_64BIT_FLAGS): Yet more robust 64-bit value

        attention...

        * unix/tcl.m4: Forgot to define TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG at the
        appropriate moment.  I believe this is the cause of [Bug 613117]

        * doc/lset.n: Changed 'list' to 'varName' for consistency with
        lappend documentation.  Thanks to Glenn Jackman [Bug 611719]

        * unix/configure: Regen.
        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add PEEK_XCLOSEIM
        define under Linux. This is used by Tk to double
        check that an X input context is cleaned up
        before it is closed.

2002-09-12  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * win/coffbase.txt: Added BLT to the virtual base address
        listings table should BLT's build tools decide to use it.

2002-09-12  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tcl.h:
        * mac/tclMacApplication.r:
        * mac/tclMacLibrary.r:
        * mac/tclMacResource.r: unified use of the two equivalent

        * macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: disabled building html
        documentation during embedded build.

2002-09-10  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/Makefile.in: added DYLIB_INSTALL_DIR variable for macosx
        and set it to default value ${LIB_RUNTIME_DIR}
        * unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): use DYLIB_INSTALL_DIR instead of
        LIB_RUNTIME_DIR in the -install_name argument to ld.
        * unix/configure: regen.

        * macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
        * macosx/Makefile: added support for building Tcl as an embedded
        framework, i.e. using an dyld install_name containing
        @executable_path/../Frameworks via the new DYLIB_INSTALL_DIR
        unix/Makefile variable.

        Hemang Lavana for the fix.  [Bug 604609]

        * generic/tclVar.c (TclDeleteVars):  Corrected logic for setting the

        when TCL_MEM_DEBUG is used. [Bug #583445]

        * win/tclWinConsole.c (ConsoleCloseProc): only wait on writable
        pipe if there was something to write.  This may prevent infinite
        wait on exit.

        * tests/exec.test: marked exec-18.1 unixOnly until the Windows
        incompatability (in the test, not the core) can be resolved.

        * unix/tcl.m4: added TK_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS analogue of existing
        TCL_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS for linker settings only used when linking Tk.

2002-08-31  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

        *** macosx-8-4-branch merged into the mainline [tcl patch #602770] ***

        * generic/tcl.decls: added new macosx specific entry to stubs table.

        * tools/genStubs.tcl: added generation of platform guards for
        macosx. This is a little more complex than it seems, because MacOS
        X IS "unix" plus a little bit, for the purposes of Tcl. BUT
        unfortunately, Tk uses "unix" to mean X11. So added platform keys
        for macosx (the little added to "unix"), "aqua" and "x11" to
        distinguish these for Tk.
        
        * generic/tcl.h: added a #ifnded RESOURCE_INCLUDED so that tcl.h
        can be passed to the resource compiler.
        
        * generic/tcl.h:
        * generic/tclNotify.c: added a few Notifier procs, to be able to
        modify more bits of the Tcl notifier dynamically. Required to get
        Mac OS X Tk to live on top of the Tcl Unix threaded notifier.
        Changes the size of the Tcl_NotifierProcs structure, but doesn't
        move any elements around.

        * unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: moved the call to Tcl_ConditionNotify till
        AFTER we are done mucking with the pointer swap. Fixes cases where
        the thread waiting on the condition wakes & accesses the
        waitingListPtr before it gets reset, causing a hang.

        * library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary): added checking the
        directories in the tcl_pkgPath for library files on macosx to
        enable support of the standard Mac OSX library locations

        * unix/Makefile.in:
        * unix/configure.in:
        * unix/tcl.m4: added MAC_OSX_DIR.  Added PLAT_OBJS to the OBJS:
        there are some MacOS X specific files now for Tcl, and when I get
        he resource & applescript stuff ported over, and restore support
        for FindFiles, etc, there will be a few more.
        Added LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR configure variable to avoid having to set
        all possible LD_LIBRARY_PATH analogues on all platforms.
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR is "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" by default, "LIBPATH" on
        AIX, "SHLIB_PATH" on HPUX and "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" on Mac OSX.
        Added configure option to package Tcl as a framework on Mac OSX.

        * macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c (new): support for finding Tcl extension
        packaged as 'bundles' in the standard Mac OSX library locations.

        * unix/tclUnixInit.c: added support for findig the tcl script
        library inside Tcl packaged as a framework on Mac OSX.

        * macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser (new):
        * macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj (new): project for Apple's
        ProjectBuilder IDE.

        * macosx/Makefile (new): simple makefile for building the project
        from the command line via the ProjectBuilder tool 'pbxbuild'.

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

2002-08-29  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpFinalizeThreadData, TclWinFreeAllocCache):
          Applied patch for bug #599428, provided by Miguel Sofer
          <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>.

2002-08-28  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * generic/tclEnv.c:
        * unix/configure.in:
        * win/tclWinPort.h:  putenv() on some systems copies the buffer
        rather than taking reference to it.  This causes memory leaks
        and is know to effect mswindows (msvcrt) and NetBSD 1.5.2 .  This
        patch tests for this behavior and turns on -DHAVE_PUTENV_THAT_COPIES=1
        when approriate.  Thanks to David Welton for assistance.
        [Bug 414910]

        * unix/configure: regen'd

2002-08-28  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * doc/eval.n: Added mention of list command and corrected "SEE ALSO".

        * unix/configure.in: Cache handling of ac_cv_type_socklen_t was
        wrong. [Bug 600931] reported by John Ellson.  Fixed by putting the
        brackets where they belong.

2002-08-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCompCmds.c: fix for [Bug 599788] (error in element
        name causing segfault), reported by Tom Wilkason. Fixed by copying
        the tokens instead of the source string.

2002-08-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: small optimisation, reducing the
        new allocator's overhead.
        
2002-08-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclObj.c (USE_THREAD_ALLOC): fixed leak [Bug 597936]. 
        Thanks to Zoran Vasiljevic.

2002-08-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (USE_THREAD_ALLOC): moving objects
        between caches as a block, instead of one-by-one.

2002-08-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclBasic.c:
        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: fix for freed memory r/w in delete traces
        [Bug 589863], patch by Hemang Lavana.

2002-08-20  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * win/Makefile.in (CFLAGS): 
        * unix/Makefile.in (MEM_DEBUG_FLAGS): Added usage of @MEM_DEBUG_FLAGS@.
        * win/configure.in:
        * unix/configure.in: Added usage of SC_ENABLE_MEMDEBUG.
        * win/tcl.m4:
        * unix/tcl.m4: Added macro SC_ENABLE_MEMDEBUG. Allows a user of
          configure to (de)activate memory validation and debugging
          (TCL_MEM_DEBUG). No need to modify the makefile anymore.

2002-08-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCkalloc.c: CONSTified MemoryCmd and CheckmemCmd.

        * README:               Bumped version number to 8.4b3 to distinguish
        * generic/tcl.h:        HEAD from the 8.4b2 release.

        * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:    the package tcltest 2.2.  Added
        * library/opt/optparse.tcl:     comments in other packages to remind
        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  that installation directories need 
        * unix/Makefile.in:             updates to match increasing version
        * win/Makefile.in:              numbers. [Bug 597450]
        * win/makefile.bc:
        * win/makefile.vc:

2002-08-19  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/tclUnixTest.c (TestfilehandlerCmd): Changed
          readable/writable to the more common readable|writable.

          Fixes SF #596034 reported by Larry Virden
          <lvirden@users.sourceforge.net>.

2002-08-16  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/fCmd.test: Added test to make sure that the cause of the
        problem is detectable with an unpatched Tcl.
        * doc/ObjectType.3: Added note on the root cause of this problem
        to the documentation, since it is possible for user code to
        trigger this sort of behaviour too.
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c (SetFsPathFromAny): Objects should only have
        their old representation deleted when we know that we are about to
        install a new one.  This stops a weird TclX bug under Linux with
        certain kinds of memory debugging enabled which essentally came
        down to a double-free of a string.

2002-08-14  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclInt.h:
        * generic/tclObj.c: (code cleanup) factored the parts in the macros 
        TclNewObj() / TclDecrRefCount() into a common part for all
        memory allocators and two new macros TclAllocObjStorage() /
        TclFreeObjStorage() that are specific to each allocator and fully
        describe the differences. Removed allocator-specific code from
        tclObj.c by using the macros.
        
2002-08-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: fixing UMR in delete traces, [Bug 589863].
        
2002-08-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * tools/man2help.tcl: Fixed $argv handling bug where if -bitmap
        wasn't specified $argc was off by one.

2002-08-08  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/uplevel.test: added 6.1 to test [uplevel] with shadowed
        commands [Bug 524383]

        * tests/subst.test: added 5.8-10 as further tests for [Bug 495207] 

2002-08-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/README: Noted removal of defs.tcl.

2002-08-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * doc/lsearch.n: corrected lsearch docs to use -inline in examples.

        *** 8.4b2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***

        * tests/fCmd.test:
        * tests/unixFCmd.test: updated tests for new link copy behavior.
        * generic/tclFCmd.c (CopyRenameOneFile): changed the behavior to
        follow links to endpoints and copy that file/directory instead of
        just copying the surface link.  This means that trying to copy a
        link that has no endpoint (danling link) is an error.
        [Patch #591647] (darley)
        (CopyRenameOneFile): this is currently disabled by default until
        further issues with such behavior (like relative links) can be
        handled correctly.

        * tests/README: slight wording improvements

2002-08-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * docs/BoolObj.3: added description of valid string reps for a
        boolean object [Bug 584794]
        * generic/tclObj.c: optimised Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj and
        SetBooleanFromAny to avoid parsing the string rep when it can be
        avoided [Bugs 584650, 472576]
        
2002-08-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCompile.h:
        * generic/tclObj.c: making tclCmdNameType static ([Bug 584567],
        Don Porter).
        
2002-08-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_NewObj): added conditional code for
        USE_THREAD_ALLOC; objects allocated through Tcl_NewObj() were
        otherwise being leaked. [Bug 587488] reported by Sven Sass.
        
2002-08-06  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclInt.decls:
        * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Added stubs and implementations for
        non-threaded build for the tclUnixThrd.c procs TclpReaddir,
        TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime and TclpInetNtoa.
        Fixes link errors in stubbed & threaded extensions that include
        tclUnixPort.h and use any of the procs readdir, localtime, 
        gmtime or inet_ntoa (e.g. TclX 8.4) [Bug 589526]
        * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
        * generic/tclStubInit.c: Regen.

2002-08-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  The setup and cleanup scripts are now
        * library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: skipped when a test is skipped, fixing
        * tests/tcltest.test:           [Bug 589859].  Test for bug added, and
        corrected tcltest package bumped to version 2.2.

        * generic/tcl.decls:    Restored Tcl_Concat to return (char *).  Like
        * generic/tclDecls.h:   Tcl_Merge, it transfers ownership of a dynamic
        * generic/tclUtil.c:    allocated string to the caller.

2002-08-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/CmdCmplt.3:       Applied Patch 585105 to fully CONST-ify
        * doc/Concat.3:         all remaining public interfaces of Tcl.
        * doc/CrtCommand.3:     Notably, the parser no longer writes on 
        * doc/CrtSlave.3:       the string it is parsing, so it is no
        * doc/CrtTrace.3:       longer necessary for Tcl_Eval() to be

        * doc/ExprLong.3:       refactoring of the Tcl_*Var* routines
        * doc/LinkVar.3:        by Miguel Sofer is included, so that the
        * doc/ParseCmd.3:       "part1" argument for them no longer needs
        * doc/SetVar.3:         to be writable either.
        * doc/TraceVar.3:
        * doc/UpVar.3:          Compatibility support has been enhanced so
        * generic/tcl.decls     that a #define of USE_NON_CONST will remove
        * generic/tcl.h         all possible source incompatibilities with
        * generic/tclBasic.c    the 8.3 version of the header file(s).
        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c    The new #define of USE_COMPAT_CONST now does
        * generic/tclCompCmds.c what USE_NON_CONST used to do -- disable

        Tcl_DumpActiveMemory function since it also
        locks the same mutex. This code is only executed
        when "memory onexit filename" has been executed
        and Tcl is compiled with -DTCL_MEM_DEBUG.

2002-08-01  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

        * win/tclWinPort.h: The windows headers don't provide socklen_t,
        so we have to do it.

2002-07-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclInt.h (USE_THREAD_ALLOC): for unshared objects,
        TclDecrRefCount now frees the internal rep before the string rep -
        just like the non-macro Tcl_DecrRefCount/TclFreeObj [Bug 524802]. 
        For the other allocators the fix was done on 2002-03-06.

2002-07-31  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclInterp.c: signed/unsigned comparison warning fixed
        (Vince Darley).

2002-07-31  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_BUGGY_STRTOD): Enabled caching of test results.

        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_BUGGY_STRTOD): Solaris 2.8 still has a buggy
        strtod() implementation; make sure we detect it.

        * tests/expr.test (expr-22.*): Marked as non-portable because it
        seems that these tests have an annoying tendency to fail in
        unexpected ways.  [Bugs 584825, 584950, 585986]

2002-07-30  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/io.test: 
        * generic/tclIO.c (WriteChars): Added flag to break out of loop if
          nothing of the input is consumed at all, to prevent infinite
          looping of called with a non-UTF-8 string. Fixes Bug 584603
          (partially). Added new test "io-60.1". Might need additional
          changes to Tcl_Main so that unprintable results are printed as
          binary data.

2002-07-29  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/Makefile.in: Use CC_SEARCH_FLAGS instead of
        LD_SEARCH_FLAGS when linking with ${CC}.
        * unix/configure: Regen.
        * unix/configure.in: Don't subst CC_SEARCH_FLAGS or
        LD_SEARCH_FLAGS since this is now done in tcl.m4.
        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Document and
        set CC_SEARCH_FLAGS whenever LD_SEARCH_FLAGS is set.
        [Tcl patch 588290]

2002-07-29  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_SERIAL_PORT): Fixed detection for cases when
                                        configure's stdin is not a tty.
        
        * unix/tclUnixPort.h: 
        * generic/tclIOSock.c:          Changed size_t to socklen_t in
                                        socket-related function calls.

        * unix/configure.in:            Added test and fallback definition
                                        for socklen_t.
        
        * unix/configure:               generated.

2002-07-29  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclObj.c: fixed a comment

        * generic/tcl.h: 
        * generic/tclBasic.c: 
        * generic/tclInterp.c: added the new flag TCL_EVAL_INVOKE to
        the interface of the Tcl_Eval* functions, removing the
        TCL_EVAL_NO_TRACEBACK added yesterday: alias invocations not only 
        require no tracebacks, but also look up the command name in the
        global scope - see new test interp-9.4
        * tests/interp.test: added 9.3 to test for safety of aliases to
        hidden commands, 9.4 to test for correct command lookup scope.

2002-07-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/regc_locale.c (cclass): [[:xdigit:]] is only a defined
        concept on western characters, so should not allow any unicode
        digit, and hence number of ranges in [[:xdigit:]] is fixed.
        * tests/reg.test: Added test to detect the bug.
        * generic/regc_cvec.c (newcvec): Corrected initial size value in
        character vector structure.  [Bug 578363]  Many thanks to
        pvgoran@users.sf.net for tracking this down.

2002-07-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tcl.h: 
        * generic/tclBasic.c: added the new flag TCL_EVAL_NO_TRACEBACK to
        the interface of the Tcl_Eval* functions. Modified the error
        message for too many nested evaluations.
        * generic/tclInterp.h: changed the Alias struct to be of variable
        length and store the prefix arguments directly (instead of a
        pointer to a Tcl_Obj list). Made AliasObjCmd call Tcl_EvalObjv
        instead of TclObjInvoke - thus making aliases trigger execution
        traces [Bug 582522].
        * tests/interp.test:
        * tests/stack.test: adapted to the new error message.
        * tests/trace.test: added tests for aliases firing the exec
        traces. 

2002-07-27  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/Makefile.in: Revert fix for Tcl bug 529801
        since it was incorrect and broke the build on
        other systems. Fix Tcl bug 587299.
        Add MAJOR_VERSION, MINOR_VERSION, PATCH_LEVEL,
        SHLIB_LD_FLAGS, SHLIB_LD_LIBS, CC_SEARCH_FLAGS,
        LD_SEARCH_FLAGS, and LIB_FILE variables to support
        more generic library build/install rules.
        * unix/configure: Regen.
        * unix/configure.in: Move AC_PROG_RANLIB into
        tcl.m4. Move shared build test and setting
        of MAKE_LIB and MAKE_STUB_LIB into tcl.m4.
        Move subst of a number of variables into
        tcl.m4 where they are defined.
        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS, SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS):
        Subst vars where they are defined. Add MAKE_LIB,
        MAKE_STUB_LIB, INSTALL_LIB, and INSTALL_STUB_LIB
        rules to deal with the ugly details of running
        ranlib on static libs at build and install time.
        Replace TCL_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS with SHLIB_LD_FLAGS
        and use it when building a shared library.
        * unix/tclConfig.sh.in: Add TCL_CC_SEARCH_FLAGS.

2002-07-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c: fixed Tcl_Obj leak in code corresponding
        to the macro NEXT_INST_V(x, 0, 1) [Bug 587495].
        
2002-07-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclVar.c (TclObjLookupVar): leak fix and improved
        comments. 

2002-07-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): removed early returns that
        prevented the parens from being restored. also removed goto label
        as it was not necessary.

2002-07-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c: 
        * tests/expr-old.test: fix for erroneous error messages in [expr],
        [Bug  587140] reported by Martin Lemburg.

2002-07-25  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
        * generic/tclProc.c: fix for Tk Bug #219218 "error handling 
        with bgerror in Tk"

2002-07-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c: restoring full TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG
        functionality.

2002-07-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/unixInit.test: relaxed unixInit-3.1 to accept iso8859-15
        as a valid C encoding.  [Bug 575336]

2002-07-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c: restoring the tcl_traceCompile
        functionality while I repair tcl_traceExec. The core now compiles
        and runs also under TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG, but execution in the
        bytecode engine can still not be traced.

2002-07-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/Makefile.in:
        * unix/configure.in: corrected fix for [Bug 529801]: ranlib
        only needed for static builds on Mac OS X.
        * unix/configure: Regen.
        * unix/tclLoadDyld.c: fixed small bugs introduced by Vince,
        implemented library unloading correctly (needs OS X 10.2).

2002-07-23  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/OpenFileChnl.3: (Updates from Larry Virden)
        * doc/open.n:
        * doc/tclsh.1: Fix section numbers in Unix man page references.
        * doc/lset.n:  In EXAMPLES section, include command to set the 
        initial value used in subsequent examples.
        * doc/http.n: Package version updated to 2.4.

2002-07-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/configure: Regen.
        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Enable 64 bit compilation
        when using the native compiler on a 64 bit version of IRIX.
        [Tcl bug 219220]

2002-07-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/Makefile.in: Combine ranlib tests and
        avoid printing unless ranlib is actually run.

2002-07-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_X): Set XINCLUDES to "" instead
        of "# no special path needed" or "# no include files found"
        when x headers cannot be located.

2002-07-22  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclIOUtil.c: made tclNativeFilesystem static
        (since 07-19 changes removed its usage elsewhere), and
        added comments about its usage.
        * generic/tclLoad.c:
        * generic/tcl.h:
        * generic/tcl.decls: 
        * doc/FileSystem.3: converted last load-related ClientData
        parameter to Tcl_LoadHandle opaque structure, removing a 
        couple of casts in the process.
        
        * generic/tclInt.h: removed tclNativeFilesystem declaration
        since it is now static again.
        
2002-07-22  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/expr.test (expr-22.*): Added tests to help detect the
        corrected handling.
        * generic/tclExecute.c (IllegalExprOperandType): Improved error
        message generated when attempting to manipulate Inf and NaN values.
        * generic/tclParseExpr.c (GetLexeme): Allowed parser to recognise
        'Inf' as a floating-point number. [Bug 218000]

2002-07-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tclIOUtil.c: Silence compiler warning. [Bug 584408].

2002-07-19  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to GetFilesystemRecord
        * win/tclWinFile.c:
        * unix/tclUnixFile.c: fix to subtle problem with links shown
        up by latest tclkit builds.

2002-07-19  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/configure:
        * unix/configure.in:
        * win/configure:
        * win/configure.in: Add AC_PREREQ(2.13) in an attempt
        to make it more clear that the configure scripts
        must be generated with autoconf version 2.13.
        [Bug 583573]

2002-07-19  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/Makefile.in: fix to build on MacOS X [Bug 529801], bug
        report and fix from jcw.

2002-07-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * win/tclWinSerial.c (no_timeout): Made this variable static.

        * generic/tclExecute.c, generic/tclCompile.c, generic/tclBasic.c: 
        * generic/tclCompile.h (builtinFuncTable, instructionTable): Added
        prefix to these symbols because they are visible outside the Tcl
        library.

        * generic/tclCompExpr.c (operatorTable): 
        * unix/tclUnixTime.c (tmKey):
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c (theFilesystemEpoch, filesystemWantToModify,
        filesystemIteratorsInProgress, filesystemOkToModify): Made these
        variables static.

        * unix/tclUnixFile.c:           Renamed nativeFilesystem to
        * win/tclWinFile.c:             tclNativeFilesystem and declared
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c:          it properly in tclInt.h
        * generic/tclInt.h: 

        * generic/tclUtf.c (totalBytes): Made this array static and const.

        * generic/tclParse.c (typeTable): Made this array static and const.
        (Tcl_ParseBraces): Simplified error handling case so that scans
        are only performed when needed, and flags are simpler too.

        * license.terms: Added AS to list of copyright holders; it's only
        fair for the current gatekeepers to be listed here!

        * tests/cmdMZ.test: Renamed constraint for clarity. [Bug#583427]
        Added tests for the [time] command, which was previously only
        indirectly tested!

2002-07-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclInt.h:
        * generic/tcl.h:
        * */*Load*.c: added comments on changes of 07/17 and 
        replaced clientData with Tcl_LoadHandle in all locations.

        * generic/tclFCmd.c:
        * tests/fileSystem.test: fixed a 'knownBug' with 'file
        attributes ""'
        * tests/winFCmd.test: 
        * tests/winPipe.test:
        * tests/fCmd.test:
        * tessts/winFile.test: added 'pcOnly' constraint to some
        tests to make for more useful 'tests skipped' log from 
        running all tests on non-Windows platforms.
        
2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclBasic.c (CallCommandTraces): delete traces now
        receive the FQ old name of the command. 
        [Bug 582532] (Don Porter)

2002-07-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/ioUtil.test: added constraints to 1.4,2.4 so they
        don't run outside of tcltest. [Bugs 583276,583277]
        
2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclVar.c (DupParsedVarName): nasty bug fixed, reported
        by Vince Darley.

2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclVar.c (TclPtrIncrVar): missing CONST in declarations,
        inconsistent with tclInt.h. Thanks to Vince Darley for reporting,
        boo to gcc for not complaining.
        
2002-07-17  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclInt.h:
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
        * generic/tclLoadNone.c:

        * unix/tclLoadDl.c:

        * unix/tclLoadNext.c:

        * unix/tclLoadShl.c:
        * mac/tclMacLoad.c:
        * win/tclWinLoad.c: modified to move more functionality
        to the generic code and avoid duplication.  Partial replacement
        of internal uses of clientData with opaque Tcl_LoadHandle.  A
        little further work still needed, but significant changes are done.

2002-07-17  D. Richard Hipp    <drh@hwaci.com>

        * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: fix a comment that was causing
        problems for programs (ex: mktclapp) that embed the initialization
        scripts in strings.

2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclInt.decls:
        * generic/tclIntDecls.h:
        * generic/tclStubInit.c:
        * generic/tclVar.c: removing the now redundant functions to access
        indexed variables: Tcl(Get|Set|Incr)IndexedScalar() and
        Tcl(Get|Set|Incr)ElementOfIndexedArray(). 

2002-07-17  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Minor fixes to make
        this file compile with SunPro CC...

2002-07-17  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c: modified to do variable lookup explicitly,
        and then either inlining the variable access or else calling the new
        TclPtr(Set|Get|Incr)Var functions in tclVar.c
        * generic/tclInt.h: declare some functions previously local to
        tclVar.c for usage by TEBC.
        * generic/tclVar.c: removed local declarations; moved all special
        accessor functions for indexed variables to the end of the file -
        they are unused and ready for removal, but left there for the time
        being as they are in the internal stubs table.

        ** WARNING FOR BYTECODE MAINTAINERS **
        TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG is currently not functional; will be fixed ASAP.
        
2002-07-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/Makefile.in:
        * win/Makefile.in: Add a more descriptive warning
        in the event `make genstubs` needs to be rerun.

2002-07-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/Makefile.in: Use dltest.marker file
        to keep track of when the dltest package
        is up to date. This fixes [Tcl bug 575768]
        since tcltest is no longer linked every time.
        * unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Create ../dltest.marker
        after a successful `make all` run in dltest.

2002-07-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/configure: Regen.
        * unix/configure.in: Remove useless subst of TCL_BIN_DIR.

2002-07-15  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclVar.c: inaccurate comment fixed
        
2002-07-15  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo):
        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclUpdateReturnInfo):
        * generic/tclInt.h:     
        * generic/tclProc.c: 
        Added two Tcl_Obj to the ExecEnv structure to hold the fully
        qualified names "::errorInfo" and "::errorCode" to cache the
        addresses of the corresponding variables. The two most frequent
        setters of these variables now profit from the new variable name
        caching. 

2002-07-15  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclVar.c: refactorisation to reuse already looked-up Var
        pointers; definition of three new Tcl_Obj types to cache variable
        name parsing and lookup for later reuse; modification of internal
        functions to profit from the caching. 
        
        * generic/tclInt.decls:
        * generic/tclInt.h:
        * generic/tclIntDecls.h:
        * generic/tclNamesp.c: adding CONST qualifiers to variable names
        passed to Tcl_FindNamespaceVar and to variable resolvers; adding
        CONST qualifier to the 'msg' argument to TclLookupVar. Needed to
        avoid code duplication in the new tclVar.c code.

        * tests/set-old.test:
        * tests/var.test: slight modification of error messages due to the
        modifications in the tclVar.c code.

2002-07-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/unixInit.test:  Improved constraints to protect /tmp.

2002-07-15  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/winFCmd.test: renamed 'win2000' and 'notWin2000' to
        more appropriate constraint names.
        * win/tclWinFile.c: updated comments to reflect 07-11 changes.
        * win/tclWinFCmd.c: made ConvertFileNameFormat static again,
        since no longer used in tclWinFile.c
        * mac/tclMacFile.c: completed TclpObjLink implementation which
        was previously lacking.
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c: comment cleanup and code speedup.
        
2002-07-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclInt.h:     Removed declarations that duplicated entries
          in the (internal) stub table.
        
        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Corrected errors in handling of
          configuration options -constraints and -limitconstraints.

        * README:               Bumped HEAD to version 8.4b2 so we can
        * generic/tcl.h:        distinguish it from the 8.4b1 release.
        * tools/tcl.wse.in:
        * unix/configure*:
        * unix/tcl.spec:
        * win/README.binary:
        * win/configure*:

2002-07-11  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/file.n:
        * win/tclWinFile.c: on Win 95/98/ME the long form of the path
        is used as a normalized form.  This is required because short
        forms are not a robust representation.  The file normalization
        function has been sped up, but more performance gains might be
        possible, if speed is still an issue on these platforms.

2002-07-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Corrected reaction to existing but
        false ::tcl_interactive.

        * doc/Hash.3: Overlooked CONST documentation update.

2002-07-11  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tclCkalloc.c: ckalloc() and friends take the block size
        as an unsigned, so we should use %ud when reporting it in fprintf()
        and panic().

2002-07-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCompile.c: now setting local vars undefined at
        compile time, instead of waiting until the proc is initialized. 
        * generic/tclProc.c: use macro TclSetVarUndefined instead of
        directly etting the flag.

2002-07-11  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/cmdAH.test: [file attr -perm] is Unix-only, so add [catch]
        when not inside a suitably-protected test.

2002-07-10  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/unixFCmd.test, tests/fileName.test: 
        * tests/fCmd.test: Removed [exec] of Unix utilities that have
        equivalents in standard Tcl.  [Bug 579268]  Also simplified some
        of unixFCmd.test while I was at it.

2002-07-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/tcltest.test:  Greatly reduced the number of [exec]s, using
        slave interps instead.
        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Fixed bug uncovered in the conversion
        where a message was written to stdout instead of [outputChannel].

        * tests/basic.test:     Cleaned up, constrained, and reduced the
        * tests/compile.test:   amount of [exec] usage in the test suite.
        * tests/encoding.test:
        * tests/env.test:
        * tests/event.test:

2002-07-10  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/cmdAH.test: Removed [exec] of Unix utilities. [Bug 579211]

        * tests/expr.test: Added tests to make sure that this works.
        * generic/tclExecute.c (ExprCallMathFunc): Functions should also
        be able to return wide-ints.  [Bug 579284]

2002-07-08  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/socket.test: Fixed bug #578164. The original reason for
          the was a DNS outage while running the testsuite. Changed [info
          hostname] to 127.0.0.1 to bypass DNS, knowing that we operate on
          the local host.

2002-07-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/tcltest.n:                Fixed incompatibility in [viewFile].
        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Corrected docs.  Bumped to 2.2.1.
        * library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: [Bug 578163]

2002-07-08  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/cmdAH.test:
        * tests/fCmd.test:
        * tests/fileName.test: tests which rely on 'file link' need a
        constraint so they don't run on older Windows OS. [Bug 578158]
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
        * generic/tcl.h:
        * generic/tclInt.h:

        * mac/tclMacChan.c:
        * unix/tclUnixChan.c:
        * win/tclWinChan.c:
        * doc/FileSystem.3: cleaned up internal handling of
        Tcl_FSOpenFileChannel to remove duplicate code, and make
        writing external vfs's clearer and easier.  No
        functionality change.  Also clarify that objects with refCount
        zero should not be passed in to the Tcl_FS API, and prevent
        segfaults from occuring on such user errors. [Bug 578617]
        
2002-07-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/pkgMkIndex.test:  Constrained tests of [load] package indexing
        to those platforms where the testing shared libraries have been built.
        [Bug 578166].

2002-07-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
        * changes: added recent changes

2002-07-05  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

        * generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): Convert the format string to
        UTF8 before calling TclpStrftime, so that non-ASCII characters
        don't get mangled when the result string is being converted back.
        * tests/clock.test: Added a test for that.

2002-07-05  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * unix/Makefile.in (ro-test,ddd,GDB,DDD): Created new targets to
        allow running the test suite with a read-only current directory,
        running under ddd instead of gdb, and factored out some executable
        names for broken sites (like mine) where gdb and ddd are installed
        with non-standard names...

        * tests/httpold.test: Altered test names to httpold-* to avoid
        clashes with http.test, and stopped tests from failing when the
        current directory is not writable...

        * tests/event.test:             Stop these tests from failing
        * tests/ioUtil.test:            when the current directory is
        * tests/regexp.test:            not writable...

        * tests/unixFile.test: 
        * tests/unixNotfy.test: 

        * tests/unixFCmd.test:          Trying to make these test-files
        * tests/macFCmd.test:           not bomb out with an error when
        * tests/http.test:              the current directory is not
        * tests/fileName.test:          writable...
        * tests/env.test:

2002-07-05  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        *** 8.4b1 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***

2002-07-04  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-1.4): 
        * tests/cmdAH.test: More fixing of writable-current-dir
        assumption. [Bug 575824]

2002-07-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/basic.test: Same issue as below; fixed [Bug 575817]
        
2002-07-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/socket.test: 
        * tests/winPipe.test: 
        * tests/pid.test: Fixed SF Bug #575848. See below for a
          description the general problem.

        * All the bugs below are instances of the same problem: The
          testsuite assumes [pwd] = [temporaryDirectory] and writable.

        * tests/iogt.test: Fixed bug #575860.
        * tests/io.test:   Fixed bug #575862.
        * tests/exec.test: 
        * tests/ioCmd.test: Fixed bug #575836.

2002-07-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/pkg1/direct1.tcl: removed
        * tests/pkg1/pkgIndex.tcl: removed
        * tests/pkgMkIndex.test:  Imported auxilliary files from tests/pkg1
          into the test file pkgMkIndex.test itself.  Formatting fixes.

        * unix/Makefile.in: removed tests/pkg/* from `make dist`

        * tests/pkg/circ1.tcl: removed
        * tests/pkg/circ2.tcl: removed
        * tests/pkg/circ3.tcl: removed

        * tests/pkg/spacename.tcl: removed
        * tests/pkg/std.tcl: removed
        * tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Fixed [Bug 575857] where this test file
          expected to be able to write to [file join [testsDirectory]
          pkg].  Part of the fix was to import several auxilliary files
          into the test file itself.

        * tests/main.test:      Cheap fix for [Bugs 575851, 575858].  Avoid
        * tests/tcltest.test:   non-writable . by [cd [temporaryDirectory]].

        * library/auto.tcl: Fix [tcl_findLibrary] to be sure it sets
          $varName only if a successful library script is found.
          [Bug 577033]

2002-07-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileCatchCmd): return
          TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE instead of TCL_ERROR: let the failure
          happen at runtime so that it can be caught [Bug 577015].

2002-07-02  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/tcltest.n: Markup fixes, spellcheck.

2002-07-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/tcltest.n: more refinements of the documentation.

        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Added trace to be sure the stdio
          constraint is updated whenever the [interpreter] changes.

        * doc/tcltest.n:                Reverted [makeFile] and [viewFile] to
        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  their former behavior, and documented
        * tests/cmdAH.test:             it.  Corrected misspelling of hook
        * tests/event.test:             procedure.  Restored tests.
        * tests/http.test:
        * tests/io.test:

        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Simplified logic of
          [GetMatchingFiles] and [GetMatchingDirectories], removing
          special case processing.

        * doc/tcltest.n: More documentation updates.  Reference sections
          are complete.  Only examples need adding.

2002-07-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/fCmd.test: 
        * generic/tclCmdAH.c: clearer error msgs for 'file link',
        as per the man page.

2002-07-01  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Made Solaris use gcc for linking
        when building with gcc to resolve problems with undefined symbols
        being present when tcl library used with non-gcc linker at later
        stage. Symbols were compiler-generated, so it is the compiler's
        business to define them. [Bug #541181] 

2002-07-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/tcltest.n: more work in progress updating tcltest docs.

        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Change [configure -match] to
        stop treating an empty list as a list of the single pattern "*".
        Changed the default value to [list *] so default operation
        remains the same.

        * tests/pkg/samename.tcl: restored.  needed by pkgMkIndex.test.

        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: restored writeability testing of
        -tmpdir, augmented by a special exception for the deafault value.

2002-07-01  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * doc/concat.n: Documented the *real* behaviour of [concat]!

2002-06-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/tcltest.n: more work in progress updating tcltest docs.

        * tests/README:         Updated the instructions on running and
        * tests/cmdMZ.test:     adding to the test suite.  Also updated
        * tests/encoding.test:  several tests, mostly to correctly create
        * tests/fCmd.test:      and destroy any temporary files in the
        * tests/info.test:      [temporaryDirectory] of tcltest.
        * tests/interp.test:

        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Stopped checking for writeability
        of -tmpdir value because no default directory can be guaranteed to
        be writeable.

        * tests/autoMkindex.tcl: removed.
        * tests/pkg/samename.tcl: removed.
        * tests/pkg/magicchar.tcl: removed.
        * tests/pkg/magicchar2.tcl: removed.
        * tests/autoMkindex.test: Updated auto_mkIndex tests to use
        [makeFile] and [removeFile] so tests are done in [temporaryDirecotry]
        where write access is guaranteed.

        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Fixed [makeFile] and [viewFile] to
        * tests/cmdAH.test:             accurately reflect a file's contents.
        * tests/event.test:             Updated tests that depended on buggy
        * tests/http.test:              behavior.  Also added warning messages
        * tests/io.test:                to "-debug 1" operations to debug test
        * tests/iogt.test:              calls to (make|remove)(File|Directory).

        * unix/mkLinks: `make mklinks` on 6-27 commits.

2002-06-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCompile.h: modified the macro TclEmitPush to not
        call its first argument repeatedly or pass it to other macros,
        [Bug 575194] reported by Peter Spjuth.

2002-06-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * docs/tcltest.n:       Doc revisions in progress.
        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Corrected -testdir default value.

        [Bug 575150]

2002-06-28  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * unix/tclUnixThrd.c:   Renamed the Tcl_Platform* #defines to
        * unix/tclUnixPipe.c:   TclOS* because they are only used
        * unix/tclUnixFile.c:   internally.  Also stopped double-#def
        * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:   of TclOSlstat [Bug #566099, post-rename]
        * unix/tclUnixChan.c:
        * unix/tclUnixPort.h:

        * doc/string.n: Improved documentation for [string last] along
        lines described in Bug #574799 so it indicates that the supplied
        index marks the end of the search space.

2002-06-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/dde.n:            Work in progress updating the documentation
        * doc/http.n:           of the packages that come bundled with
        * doc/msgcat.n:         the Tcl source distribution, notably tcltest.
        * doc/registry.n:
        * doc/tcltest.n:

        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Made sure that the TCLTEST_OPTIONS
        environment variablle configures tcltest at package load time.

2002-06-26  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/fileSystem.test: 
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to handling of empty paths ""
        which are not claimed by any filesystem (Bug #573758).
        Ensure good error messages are given in all cases.
        * tests/cmdAH.test:
        * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: fix to bug reported as part of
        (Patch #566669).  Thanks to Taguchi, Takeshi for the report.
        
2002-06-26  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

        * unix/tclUnixTime.c: Make [clock format] respect locale settings.

        #500930. 
        
2002-06-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Corrected suppression of -verbose skip
        * tests/tcltest.test:           and start by [test -output].  Also
        corrected test suite errors exposed by corrected code.  [Bug 564656]

2002-06-25  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

        * unix/tcl.m4:       New macro SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES.

        * unix/Makefile.in:  when installing the manpages. [Patch 518052]
        * unix/mkLinks.tcl:  Default is still hardlinks and no compression.

        * unix/mkLinks:      generated
        * unix/configure:

        * unix/README:       Added documentation for the new features.

        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_TCLCONFIG): Replaced ${exec_prefix}/lib by
        ${libdir}.

2002-06-25  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): Fix of critical bug
        #533364 generated when the index is bad and the result is a shared
        object.  The T_ASTO(T_GOR, ...) idiom likely exists elsewhere
        though.  Also removed some cruft that just complicated things to
        no advantage.
        (SetEndOffsetFromAny): Same fix, though this wasn't on the path
        excited by the bug.

2002-06-21  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCompExpr.c:
        * generic/tclParseExpr.c: LogSyntaxError() should reset 
        the interpreter result [Bug 550142 "Tcl_ExprObj -> abort"] 

2002-06-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
        
        * unix/Makefile.in:     Updated all package install directories
        * win/Makefile.in:      to match current Major.minor versions

        * win/makefile.vc:      to installation on Windows.

        * library/init.tcl:  Corrected comments and namespace style
        issues.  Thanks to Bruce Stephens. [Bug 572025]

2002-06-21  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/cmdAH.test:          Added TIP#99 implementation
        * tests/fCmd.test:           of 'file link'.  Supports creation
        * tests/fileName.test:       of symbolic and hard links in the
        * tests/fileSystem.test:     native filesystems and in vfs's,
        * generic/tclTest.c:         when the individual filesystem
        * generic/tclCmdAH.c:        supports the concept.
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c:       
        * generic/tcl.h:
        * generic/tcl.decls:
        * doc/FileSystem.3:
        * doc/file.n:
        * mac/tclMacFile.c:
        * unix/tclUnixFile.c:
        * win/tclWinFile.c: Also enhanced speed of 'file normalize' on
        Windows.

2002-06-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclBasic.c (TclEvalObjvInternal): fix for [Bug 571385]
        in the implementation of TIP#62 (command tracing). Vince Darley,
        Hemang Lavana & Don Porter: thanks.

2002-06-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclCompEvalObj): clarified and simplified
        the logic for compilation/recompilation.

2002-06-19  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
        * doc/file.n: Fixed indentation.  No substantive changes.

2002-06-19  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): get the resultPtr again
        as the Tcl_ObjSetVar2 may cause the result to change.
        [Patch #558324] (watson)

2002-06-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): removing unused "for(;;)" loop;
        improved comments; re-indentation.

2002-06-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC): 
        - elimination of duplicated code in the non-immediate INST_INCR
          instructions. 
        - elimination of 103 (!) TclDecrRefCount macros. The different
          instructions now jump back to a common "DecrRefCount zone" at
          the top of the loop. The macro "ADJUST_PC" was replaced by two
          macros "NEXT_INST_F" and "NEXT_INST_V" that take three params
          (pcAdjustment, # of stack objects to discard, resultObjPtr
          handling flag). The only instructions that retain a
          TclDecrRefCount are INST_POP (for speed), the common code for
          the non-immediate INST_INCR, INST_FOREACH_STEP and the two
          INST_LSET.

        The object size of tclExecute.o was reduced by approx 20% since
        the start of the consolidation drive, while making room for some
        peep-hole optimisation at runtime.

2002-06-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC, INST_DONE): small bug in the panic
        code for tcl-stack corruption.

2002-06-17  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        Trims to support the removal of RESOURCE_INCLUDED from rc
        scripts from FR #565088.

        * generic/tcl.h: moved the #ifndef RC_INVOKED start block up in
        the file.  rc scripts don't need to know thread mutexes.

        * win/tcl.rc:
        * win/tclsh.rc: removed the #define RESOURCE_INCLUDED to let the
        built-in -DRC_INVOKED to the work.

2002-06-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * doc/CrtTrace.3:        Added TIP#62 implementation of command
        * doc/trace.n:           execution tracing [FR #462580] (lavana).
        * generic/tcl.h:         This includes enter/leave tracing as well
        * generic/tclBasic.c:    as inter-procedure stepping.
        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
        * generic/tclCompile.c:
        * generic/tclExecute.c:
        * generic/tclInt.decls:
        * generic/tclInt.h:
        * generic/tclIntDecls.h:
        * generic/tclStubInit.c:
        * generic/tclVar.c:
        * tests/trace.test:

2002-06-17  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Fixed bug #554068 ([exec]
          on windows did not treat { in filenames well.). Bug reported by
          Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>, patch
          provided by Vince too.

2002-06-17  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tcl.h: #ifdef logic for K&R C backwards compatibility
        changed to assume modern C by default.  See SF FR #565088 for
        full details.

2002-06-17  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/msgcat.n: Corrected en_UK references to en_GB.  UK is not
        a country designation recognized in ISO 3166.

        * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:  More Windows Registry locale codes
        from Bruno Haible.

        * doc/msgcat.n:
        * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:
        * library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:
        * tests/msgcat.test:  Revised locale initialization to interpret
        environment variable locale values according to XPG4, and to
        recognize the LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES values over that of LANG.
        Also added many Windows Registry locale values to those 
        recognized by msgcat.  Revised tests and docs.  Bumped to
        version 1.3.  Thanks to Bruno Haible for the report and
        assistance crafting the solution.  [Bug 525522, 525525]

2002-06-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileTokens): a better algorithm for
        the previous bug fix.

2002-06-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileTokens): 
        * tests/compile.test: [Bug 569438] in the processing of dollar
        variables; report by Georgios Petasis. 
        
2002-06-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c: bug in the consolidation of the
        INCR_..._STK instructions; the bug could not be exercised as the
        (faulty) instruction INST_INCR_ARRAY_STK was never compiled-in
        (related to [Bug 569438]).

2002-06-14  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peep-hole
        optimisation of variables (INST_STORE, INST_INCR) and commands
        (INST_INVOKE); faster check for the existence of a catch.
        (TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peep-hole optimisation of
        comparisons.
        (TclExecuteByteCode): runtime peep-hole optimisation of
        INST_FOREACH - relies on peculiarities of the code produced by the
        bytecode compiler.

2002-06-14  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * win/rules.vc: The test for compiler optimizations was in error.
        Thanks goes to Roy Terry <royterry@earthlink.net> for his
        assistance with this.

2002-06-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * doc/trace.n, tests/trace.test: 
        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd,TclTraceCommandObjCmd)
        (TclTraceVariableObjCmd): Changed references to "trace list" to
        "trace info" as mandated by TIP#102.

2002-06-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): consolidated code for
        the conditional branch instructions.

2002-06-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): fixed the previous
        patch - wouldn't compile with TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG set.

2002-06-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): consolidated the
        handling of exception returns to INST_INVOKE and INST_EVAL, as
        well as most of the code for INST_CONTINUE and INST_BREAK, in the
        new jump target "processExceptionReturn".

2002-06-13  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): consolidated variable
        handling opcodes, replaced redundant code with some 'goto'. All
        store/append/lappend opcodes on the same data type now share the
        main code; same with incr opcodes.
        * generic/tclVar.c: added the bit TCL_TRACE_READS to the possible
        flags to Tcl_SetVar2Ex - it causes read traces to be fired prior
        to setting the variable. This is used in the core for [lappend].

        ***NOTE*** the usage of TCL_TRACE_READS in Tcl_(Obj)?GetVar.* is
        not documented; there, it causes the call to create the variable
        if it does not exist. The new usage in Tcl_(Obj)?SetVar.* remains
        undocumented too ...
        
2002-06-13  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/fCmd.test:
        * tests/winFile.test:
        * tests/fileSystem.test:
        * generic/tclTest.c:
        * generic/tclCmdAH.c:
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
        * doc/FileSystem.3:
        * mac/tclMacFile.c:
        * unix/tclUnixFile.c:
        * win/tclWinFile.c: fixed up further so both compiles and
        actually works with VC++ 5 or 6.
        * win/tclWinInt.h: 
        * win/tclWin32Dll.c: cleaned up code and vfs tests and
        added tests for the internal changes of 2002-06-12, to see
        whether WinTcl on NTFS can coexist peacefully with links
        in the filesystem.  Added new test command 'testfilelink'
        to enable the newer code to be tested.
        * tests/fCmd.test: (made certain tests of 'testfilelink' not
        run on unix).

2002-06-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteTrace): fixed [Bug 568123] (thanks to
        Hemang Lavana)
        
2002-06-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * win/tclWinFile.c: corrected the symbolic link handling code to
        allow it to compile.  Added real definition of REPARSE_DATA_BUFFER
        (found in winnt.h).  Most of the added definitions appear to have
        correct, cross-Win-version equivalents in winnt.h and should be
        removed, but just making things "work" for now.

2002-06-12  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
        * generic/tcl.decls:
        * generic/tclDecls.h: made code for Tcl_FSNewNativePath
        agree with man pages.
        
        * doc/FileSystem.3: clarified the circumstances under which
        certain functions are called in the presence of symlinks.
        
        * win/tclWinFile.c:
        * win/tclWinPort.h: 
        * win/tclWinInt.h: 
        * win/tclWinFCmd.c:  Fix for Windows to allow 'file lstat', 
        'file type', 'glob -type l', 'file copy', 'file delete', 
        'file normalize', and all VFS code to work correctly in the 
        presence of symlinks (previously Tcl's behaviour was not very 
        well defined).  This also fixes possible serious problems in 
        all versions of WinTcl where 'file delete' on a NTFS symlink 
        could delete the original, not the symlink.
        Note: symlinks cannot yet be created in pure Tcl.

2002-06-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclBasic.c: 
        * generic/tclCompCmds.c:
        * generic/tclInt.h: reverted the new compilation functions;
        replaced by a more general approach described below.

        * generic/tclCompCmds.c:
        * generic/tclCompile.c: made *all* compiled variable access
        attempts create an indexed variable - even get or incr without
        previous set. This allows indexed access to local variables that
        are created and set at runtime, for example by [global], [upvar],
        [variable], [regexp], [regsub].

2002-06-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/global.n:
        * doc/info.n:
        * test/info.test:
        * generic/tclCmdIL.c: fix for [Bug 567386], [info locals] was
        reporting some linked variables.
        
        * generic/tclBasic.c: 
        * generic/tclCompCmds.c:
        * generic/tclInt.h: added compile functions for [global],
        [variable] and [upvar]. They just declare the new local variables,
        the commands themselves are not compiled-in. This gives a notably
        faster read access to these linked variables.

2002-06-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c: optimised algorithm for exception range
        lookup; part of [Patch 453709].

2002-06-10  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: fixed [Bug #566669]
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c: improved and sped up handling of
        native paths (duplication and conversion to normalized paths),
        particularly on Windows.
        * modified part of above commit, due to problems on Linux. 
        Will re-examine bug report and evaluate more closely.

2002-06-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/tcltest.test:  More corrections to test suite so that tests
        of failing [test]s don't show up themselves as failing tests.

2002-06-07  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tclExecute.c: Tidied up headers in relation to float.h
        to cut the cruft and ensure DBL_MAX is defined since doubles seem
        to be the same size everywhere; if the assumption isn't true, the
        variant platforms had better have run configure...

        * unix/tclUnixPort.h (EOVERFLOW): Added code to define it if it
        wasn't previously defined.  Also some other general tidying and
        adding of comments.  [Tcl bugs 563122, 564595]
        * compat/tclErrno.h: Added definition for EOVERFLOW copied from
        Solaris headers; I've been unable to find any uses of EFTYPE,
        which was the error code previously occupying the slot, in Tcl, or
        any definition of it in the Solaris headers.

2002-06-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Remove hard coded CFLAGS=-g
        and add CFLAGS_DEBUG, CFLAGS_OPTIMIZE, and
        CFLAGS_DEFAULT varaibles. [Tcl bug 565488]

2002-06-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/tcltest.test:  Corrections to test suite so that tests
        of failing [test]s don't show up themselves as failing tests.

        * tests/io.test: Fixed up namespace variable resolution issues
        revealed by running test suite with "-singleproc 1".

        * doc/tcltest.n:
        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
        * tests/tcltest.test: Several updates to tcltest.
          1) changed to lazy initialization of test constraints
          2) deprecated [initConstraintsHook]
          3) repaired badly broken [limitConstraints].
          4) deprecated [threadReap] and [mainThread]
        [Patch 512214, Bug 558742, Bug 461000, Bug 534903]

2002-06-06  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpReaddir, TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime):
        added mutex wrapped calls to readdir, localtime & gmtime in
        case their thread-safe *_r counterparts are not available.
        * unix/tcl.m4: added configure check for readdir_r
        * unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): set TCL_DEFAULT_ENCODING to utf-8 on
        MacOSX (where posix file apis expect utf-8, not iso8859-1).   
        * unix/configure: regen
        * unix/Makefile.in: set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in parallel       
        to LD_LIBRARY_PATH for MacOSX dynamic linker.
        * generic/tclEnv.c (TclSetEnv): fix env var setting on
        MacOSX (adapted from patch #524352 by jkbonfield).

2002-06-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/Tcl_Main.3: Documented $tcl_rcFileName and added more
        clarifications about the intended use of Tcl_Main(). [Bug 505651]

2002-06-05  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclFileName.c (TclGlob): mac specific fix to
        recent changes in 'glob -tails' handling.
        * mac/tclMacPort.h:
        * mac/tclMacChan.c: fixed TIP#91 bustage.
        * mac/tclMacResource.c (Tcl_MacConvertTextResource): added utf
        conversion of text resource contents.
        * tests/macFCmd.test (macFCmd-1.2): allow CWIE creator.

2002-06-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
        * tests/init.test:
        * tests/tcltest.test:   Added more TIP 85 tests from Arjen Markus.
        Converted tcltest.test to use a private namespace.  Fixed bugs in
        [tcltest::Eval] revealed by calling [tcltest::test] from a non-global
        namespace, and namespace errors in init.test.

        * win/README: Update msys+mingw URL.

2002-06-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/tcltest.n:
        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
        * library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:
        * tests/tcltest.test:  Implementation of TIP 85.  Allows tcltest
        users to add new legal values of the -match option to [test],
        associating each with a Tcl command that does the matching of
        expected results with actual results of tests.  Thanks to
        Arjen Markus.  => tcltest 2.1 [Patch 521362]

2002-06-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/namespace.n: added description of [namepace forget]
        behaviour for unqualified patterns [Bug 559268]

2002-06-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c: reverting an accidental modification in
        the last commit.
        
2002-06-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/Tcl.n: clarify the empty variable name issue ([Bug 549285]
        reported by Tom Krehbiel, patch by Don Porter).

2002-05-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * library/package.tcl:  Fixed leak of slave interp in [pkg_mkIndex].
        Thanks to Helmut for report.  [Bug 550534]

        * tests/io.test:
        * tests/main.test:  Use the "stdio" constraint to control whether
        an [open "|[interpreter]"] is attempted.

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclMathInProgress,TclExecuteByteCode
                ExprCallMathFunc):
        * generic/tclInt.h (TclMathInProgress):
        * unix/Makefile.in (tclMtherr.*):
        * unix/configure.in (NEED_MATHERR):
        * unix/tclAppInit.c (matherr):
        * unix/tclMtherr.c (removed file):
        * win/tclWinMtherr.c (_matherr): Removed internal routine
        TclMathInProgress and Unix implementation of matherr().  These
        are now obsolete, dealing with very old versions of the C math
        library.  Windows version is retained in case Borland compilers
        require it, but it is inactive.  Thanks to Joe English.
        [Bug 474335, Patch 555635].
        * unix/configure: regen

2002-05-30  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCompExpr.c:
        * generic/tclCompile.c:
        * generic/tclCompile.h: removed exprIsJustVarRef and
        exprIsComparison from the ExprInfo and CompileEnv structs. These
        were set, but not used since dec 1999 [Bug 562383].

2002-05-30  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclFileName.c (TclGlob): fix to longstanding
        'knownBug' in fileName tests 15.2-15.4, and fix to a new
        Tcl 8.4 bug in certain uses of 'glob -tails'.
        * tests/fileName.test: removed 'knownBug' flag from some tests,
        added some new tests for above bugs.
        
2002-05-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * unix/configure: regen'ed
        * unix/configure.in: replaced bigendian check with autoconf
        standard AC_C_BIG_ENDIAN, which defined WORDS_BIGENDIAN on
        bigendian systems.
        * generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharNcmp): 
        * generic/tclInt.h (TclUniCharNcmp): use WORDS_BIGENDIAN instead of
        TCL_OPTIMIZE_UNICODE_COMPARE to enable memcmp alternative.

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode INST_STR_CMP):
        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): changed the case for
        choosing the Tcl_UniCharNcmp compare to when both objs are of
        StringType, as benchmarks show that is the optimal check (both
        bigendian and littleendian systems).

2002-05-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclMain.c: Removed "dummy" reference to Tcl_LinkVar.
        It is no longer needed since Tcl_Main() now actually calls
        Tcl_LinkVar().  Thanks to Joe English for pointing that out.

2002-05-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): 
        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Use the macro version.
        * generic/tclInt.h (TclUniCharNcmp): Optimised still further with
        a macro for use in sensitive places like tclExecute.c

        * generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharNcmp): Use new flag to figure out
        when we can use an optimal comparison scheme, and default to the
        old scheme in other cases which is at least safe.
        * unix/configure.in (TCL_OPTIMIZE_UNICODE_COMPARE): New optional
        flag that indicates when we can use memcmp() to compare Unicode
        strings (i.e. when the high-byte of a Tcl_UniChar precedes the
        low-byte.)

2002-05-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclInt.decls:
        * generic/tclIntDecls.h:
        * generic/tclStubInit.c:
        * generic/tclUtf.c: added TclpUtfNcmp2 private command that
        mirrors Tcl_UtfNcmp, but takes n in bytes, not utf-8 chars.  This
        provides a faster alternative for comparing utf strings internally.
        (Tcl_UniCharNcmp, Tcl_UniCharNcasecmp): removed the explicit end
        of string check as it wasn't correct for the function (by doc and
        logic).

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): reworked the string equal
        comparison code to use TclpUtfNcmp2 as well as short-circuit for
        equal objects or unequal length strings in the equal case.
        Removed the use of goto and streamlined the other parts.

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): added check for
        object equality in the comparison instructions.  Added
        short-circuit for != length strings in INST_EQ, INST_NEQ and
        INST_STR_CMP.  Reworked INST_STR_CMP to use TclpUtfNcmp2 where
        appropriate, and only use Tcl_UniCharNcmp when at least one of the
        objects is a Unicode obj with no utf bytes.

        * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): removed error
        creation in code that no longer throws an error.

        * tests/string.test:
        * tests/stringComp.test: added more string comparison checks.

        * tests/clock.test: better qualified 9.1 constraint check for %s.

2002-05-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (TclpRealloc, TclpFree): protect
        against the case when NULL is based.

        * tests/clock.test: added clock-9.1
        * compat/strftime.c:
        * generic/tclClock.c:
        * generic/tclInt.decls:
        * generic/tclIntDecls.h:
        * unix/tclUnixTime.c: fix for Windows msvcrt mem leak caused by
        using an env(TZ) setting trick for in clock format -gmt 1.  This
        also makes %s seem to work correctly with -gmt 1 as well as
        making it a lot faster by avoid the env(TZ) hack.  TclpStrftime
        now takes useGMT as an arg.  [Bug #559376]

2002-05-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclIOUtil.c: fixes to Tcl_FSLoadFile when called on
        a file inside a vfs.  This should avoid leaving temporary 
        files sitting around on exit. [Bug #545579]
        
2002-05-27  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * win/tclWinError.c: Added comment on conversion of
        ERROR_NEGATIVE_SEEK because that is a mapping that really belongs,
        and not a catch-all case.
        * win/tclWinPort.h (EOVERFLOW): Should be either EFBIG or EINVAL
        * generic/tclPosixStr.c (Tcl_ErrnoId, Tcl_ErrnoMsg): EOVERFLOW can
        potentially be a synonym for EINVAL.

2002-05-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        === Changes due to TIP#91 ===

        * win/tclWinPort.h: Added declaration of EOVERFLOW.
        * doc/CrtChannel.3: Added documentation of wideSeekProc.
        * generic/tclIOGT.c (TransformSeekProc, TransformWideSeekProc):
        Adapted to use the new channel mechanism.
        * unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileSeekProc, FileWideSeekProc): Renamed
        FileSeekProc to FileWideSeekProc and created new FileSeekProc
        which has the old-style interface and which errors out with
        EOVERFLOW when the returned file position can't fit into the
        return type (int for historical reasons.)
        * win/tclWinChan.c (FileSeekProc, FileWideSeekProc): Renamed
        FileSeekProc to FileWideSeekProc and created new FileSeekProc
        which has the old-style interface and which errors out with
        EOVERFLOW when the returned file position can't fit into the
        return type (int for historical reasons.)
        * mac/tclMacChan.c (FileSeek): Reverted to old interface; Macs
        lack large-file support because I can't see how to add it.
        * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek, Tcl_Tell): Given these functions
        knowledge of the new arrangement of channel types.
        (Tcl_ChannelVersion): Added recognition of new version code.
        (HaveVersion): New function to do version checking.
        (Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc, Tcl_ChannelFlushProc)
        (Tcl_ChannelHandlerProc): Made these functions use HaveVersion for
        ease of future maintainability.
        (Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc): Obvious lookup function.
        * generic/tcl.h (Tcl_ChannelType): New wideSeekProc field, and
        seekProc type restored to old interpretation.
        (TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_3): New channel version.

2002-05-24  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
        
        * tests/winPipe.test: Applied patch for SF Tcl Bug #549617. Patch
          and bug report by Kevin Kenny <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>.

        * win/tclWinSock.c (TcpWatchProc): Fixed SF Tcl Bug #557878. We
          are not allowed to mess with the watch mask if the socket is a
          server socket. I believe that the original reporter is George
          Peter Staplin.

2002-05-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/configure: Regen.
        * unix/configure.in: Invoke SC_ENABLE_SHARED before
        calling SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS so that the SHARED_BUILD
        variable can be checked inside SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS.
        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Pass -non_shared
        instead of -shared to ld when configured with
        --disable-shared under OSF. [Tcl bug 540390]

2002-05-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclInt.h: added prototype for TclpFilesystemPathType().
        * mac/tclMacChan.c: use MSL provided creator type if available
        instead of the default 'MPW '.

2002-05-16  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sf.net>

        * doc/CrtObjCmd.3: 
        Added Tcl_GetCommandFromObj, Tcl_GetCommandFullName
        (Tcl Bug #547987, #414921)

2002-05-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * unix/tclUnixChan.c (TtyOutputProc): #if/#endif-ed this function
        out to stop compiler warnings.  Also much general tidying of
        comments in this file and removal of whitespace from blank lines.

2002-05-13  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * unix/tclUnixChan.c (SETBREAK): Solaris thinks ioctl() takes a
        signed second argument, and Linux thinks ioctl() takes an unsigned
        second argument.  So need a longer definition of this macro to get
        neither to spew warnings...

2002-05-13  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclEvent.c: 
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
        * generic/tclInt.h: clean up all memory allocated by the
        filesystem, via introduction of 'TclFinalizeFilesystem'.
        Move TclFinalizeLoad into TclFinalizeFilesystem so we can
        be sure it is called at just the right time.
        Fix bad comment also.  [Bug #555078 and 'fs' part of #543549]
        * win/tclWinChan.c: fix comment referring to wrong function.
        
2002-05-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/load.test:
        * tests/safe.test:
        * tests/tcltest.test: Corrected some list-quoting issues and
        other matters that cause tests to fail when the patch includes
        special characters.  Report from Vince Darley.  [Bug 554068].

2002-05-08    David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * doc/file.n:
        * tools/man2tcl.c:
        * tools/man2help2.tcl:  Thanks to Peter Spjuth
        <peter.spjuth@space.se>, again.  My prior fix for
        single-quote macro mis-understanding was wrong.  Reverted to
        reimpliment the 'macro2' proc which handles single-quote macros
        and restored file.n text arrangement to avoid single-quotes on
        the first line.  Sorry for all the confusion.

2002-05-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * tools/man2tcl.c:
        * tools/man2help2.tcl: Proper source of macro error mis-
        understanding single-quote as the leading macro command found
        and repaired.

        * doc/file.n: Reverted to prior state before I messed with
        it.

2002-05-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Corrected [uplevel] quoting when
        [source]-ing test script in subdirectories.
        * tests/fileName.test:
        * tests/load.test:
        * tests/main.test:
        * tests/tcltest.test: 
        * tests/unixInit.test: Fixes to test suite when there's a space
        in the working path.  Thanks to Kevin Kenny.

2002-05-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        -- Changes from Peter Spjuth <peter.spjuth@space.se>
        * tools/man2tcl.c: Increased line buffer size and a bail-out if
        that should ever be over-run.
        * tools/man2help.tcl: Include Courier New font in rtf header.
        * tools/man2help2.tcl: Improved handling of CS/CE fields.  Use
        Courier New for code samples and indent better.

        * doc/file.n:
        * doc/TraceCmd.3:  winhelp conversion tools where understanding
        a ' as the first character on a line to be an unknown macro.
        Not knowing how to repair tools/man2tcl.c, I decided to rearrange
        the text in the docs instead.

2002-05-07  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclFileName.c: fix to similar segfault when using 
        'glob -types nonsense -dir dirname -join * *'. [Bug 553320]
        
        * doc/FileSystem.3: further documentation on vfs.
        * tests/cmdAH.test:
        * tests/fileSystem.test:
        * tests/pkgMkindex.test: Fix to testsuite bugs when running out
        of directory whose name contains '{' or '['.

2002-05-07  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/basic.test: Fix for [Bug 549607]
        * tests/encoding.test: Fix for [Bug 549610]
        These are testsuite bugs that caused failures when the filename
        contained spaces. Report & fix by Kevin Kenny.

2002-05-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclFileName.c: fix to freeing a bad object 
        (i.e. segfault) when using 'glob -types nonsense -dir dirname'.
        * generic/tclWinFile.c: fix to [Bug 551306], also wrapped some 
        long lines.
        * tests/fileName.test: added several tests for the above bugs.
        * doc/FileSystem.3: clarified documentation on refCount
        requirements of the object returned by the path type function.
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c:
        * win/tclWinFile.c:
        * unix/tclUnixFile.c:
        * mac/tclMacFile.c: moved TclpFilesystemPathType to the
        platform specific directories, so we can add missing platform-
        specific implementations.  On Windows, 'file system' now returns 
        useful results like "native NTFS", "native FAT" for that system.  
        Unix and MacOS still only return "native".
        * doc/file.n: clarified documentation.
        * tests/winFile.test: test for 'file system' returning correct
        values.
        * tests/fileSystem.test: test for 'file system' returning correct
        values.  Clean up after failed previous test run.
        
2002-04-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * unix/configure:
        * unix/tcl.m4: change HP-11 SHLIB_LD_LIBS from "" to ${LIBS} so
        that the .sl knows its dependent libs.

2002-04-26  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/obj.test (obj-11.[56]): Test conversion to boolean more
        thoroughly.
        * generic/tclObj.c (SetBooleanFromAny): Was not calling an integer
        parsing function on native 64-bit platforms!  [Bug 548686]

2002-04-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclInt.h: corrected TclRememberJoinableThread decl to
        use VOID instead of void.
        * generic/tclThreadJoin.c: noted that this code isn't needed on Unix.

2002-04-23  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * doc/exec.n: 
        * doc/tclvars.n: doc updates [Patch #509426] (gravereaux)

2002-04-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

        * mac/tclMacResource.r: added check of
        TCLTK_NO_LIBRARY_TEXT_RESOURCES #define to allow disabling the
        inclusion of the tcl library code in the resource fork of Tcl
        executables and shared libraries.

2002-04-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * doc/TraceCmd.3: New file that documents Tcl_CommandTraceInfo,
        Tcl_TraceCommand and Tcl_UntraceCommand [Bug 414927]

2002-04-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclAlloc.c:
        * generic/tclInt.h:
        * generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (new):
        * unix/Makefile.in:
        * unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
        * win/Makefile.in:
        * win/tclWinInt.h:
        * win/tclWinThrd.c: added new threaded allocator contributed by
        AOL that significantly reduces lock contention when multiple
        threads are in use.  Only Windows and Unix implementations are
        ready, and the Windows one may need work.  It is only used by
        default on Unix for now, and requires that USE_THREAD_ALLOC be
        defined (--enable-threads on Unix will define this).

        * generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSRegister, Tcl_FSUnregister):
        corrected calling of Tcl_ConditionWait to ensure that there would
        be a condition to wait upon.

        * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FileObjCmd): added cast in FILE_SIZE.

        * win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoDeleteFile): check return of setattr API
        calls in file deletion for correct Win32 API handling.

        * win/Makefile.in: correct dependencies for shell, gdb, runtest
        targets.

        * doc/clock.n:
        * compat/strftime.c (_fmt): change strftime to correctly handle
        localized %c, %x and %X on Windows.  Added some notes about how
        the other values could be further localized.

2002-04-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main):  Free the memory allocated for the
        startup script path.  [Bug 543549]

        * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:  [mcmax] wasn't using the caller's
        namespace when determining the max translated length.  Also
        made revisions for better use of namespace variables and more
        efficient [uplevel]s.

        * doc/msgcat.n:
        * library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:
        * library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:  Added [mcload] to the export list
        of msgcat; bumped to 1.2.3.  [Bug 544727]

2002-04-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclInt.decls:
        * generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
        * generic/tclStubInit.c:
        * mac/tclMacFCmd.c:
        * mac/tclMacFile.c:
        * mac/tclMacUtil.c: Modified TclpObjNormalizePath to be alias
        file aware, and replaced various calls to FSpLocationFrom*Path
        by calls to new alias file aware versions FSpLLocationFrom*Path.
        The alias file aware routines don't resolve the last component of
        a path if it is an alias. This allows [file copy/delete] etc. to
        act correctly on alias files. (c.f. discussion in Bug #511666)

2002-04-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/subst.n:  Clarified documentation on handling unusual return
        codes during substitution, and on variable substitutions implied
        by command substitution, and vice versa.  [Bug 536838]

        would report as empty [Bug #545644]

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj): More clarification for
        comment on behaviour when substitutions are not well-formed,
        prompted by [Bug #536831]; alas, removing the ill-defined
        behaviour is a lot of work.

2002-04-18  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c:
        * tests/expr-old.test: fix for [Bug #542588] (Phil Ehrens), where
        "too large integers" were reported as "floating-point value" in

2002-04-17  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/tcltest.n:  Removed [saveState] and [restoreState] from
        tcltest 2 documentation, effectively deprecating them.  [Bug 495660]
        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: Made separate export for commands
        kept only for tcltest 1 compatibility.

        * tests/iogt.test: Revised to run tests in a namespace, rather than
        use the useless and buggy [saveState] and [restoreState] commands
        of tcltest.  Updated to use tcltest 2 as well.  [Patch 544911]

        * generic/tclProc.c:
        * tests/proc-old.test: Improved stack trace for TCL_BREAK and
        TCL_CONTINUE returns from procs. Patch by Don Porter
        [Bug 536955]. 
        
        * generic/tclExecute.c:
        * tests/compile.test: made bytecodes check for a catch before
          returning; the compiled [return] is otherwise non-catchable. 
          [Bug 542142] reported by Andreas Kupries.

2002-04-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/socket.test:  Increased timeout values so that tests have
        time to successfully complete even on slow/busy machines.  [Bug 523470]

        * doc/tcltest.n:
        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
        * tests/tcltest.test:  Revised [tcltest::test] to return errors
        when called with invalid syntax and to accept exactly two arguments
        as documented.  Improved error messages.  [Bug 497446, Patch 513983]
        ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: Incompatible with previous
        tcltest 2.* releases, found only in alpha releases of Tcl 8.4.

2002-04-11  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): remove remaining
        unserviced events on finalization.

        * win/tcl.m4: Enabled COFF as well as CV style debug info with
        --enable-symbols to allow Dr. Watson users to see function info.
        More info on debugging levels can be obtained at:
        http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnvc60/html/gendepdebug.asp

        * tests/ioCmd.test: fixed iocmd-8.15 to have mac and unixPc variants.

        * generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseVar): conditionally incr obj
        refcount to prevent possible mem leak.

2002-04-08  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tcl.h: no <sys/types.h> on mac.
        * mac/tclMacFile.c: minor fixes to Vince's changes from 03-24.
        * mac/tclMacOSA.c:
        * mac/tclMacResource.c: added missing Tcl_UtfToExternalDString
        conversions of resource file names.
        * mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): fixed bug introduced
        by Andreas on 02-25; changed strcmp's to strncmp's so that
        option comparison behaves like on other platforms.
        * mac/tcltkMacBuildSupport.sea.hqx (CW Pro6 changes): added
        support to allow Tk to hookup C library stderr/stdout to TkConsole.

2002-04-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (Realpath): added a little extra code to
        initialize a realpath arg when compiling in PURIFY mode in order
        to prevent spurious purify warnings.  We should really create our
        own realpath implementation, but this will at least quiet purify
        for now.

2002-04-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj):
        * tests/subst.test:  Corrected [subst] so that return codes
        TCL_BREAK and TCL_CONTINUE returned by variable substitution
        have the same effect as when those codes are returned by command
        substitution.  [Bug 536879]

2002-04-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: added getMatchingFiles back (alias
        to GetMatchingFiles), which was a public function in tcltest 1.0.

2002-04-01  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclEnv.c:
        * generic/tclIOUtil.c: invalidate filesystem cache when the
        user changes env(HOME).  Fixes [Bug #535621].  Also cleaned up
        some of the documentation.
        * tests/fileSystem.test: added test for bug just fixed.
        
2002-04-01  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

        * win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_GetTime): made the checks of clock
        frequency more permissive to cope with the fact that Win98SE
        is observed to return 1.19318 in place of 1.193182 for the
        performance counter frequency.
        
2002-03-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TraceObjCmd, TraceVarProc)
        (TraceCommandProc, TclTraceCommandObjCmd):  corrected
        potential double-free of traces on variables by flagging in
        Trace*Proc that it will free the var in case the eval wants to
        delete the var trace as well. [Bug #536937]
        Also converted Tcl_UntraceVar -> Tcl_UntraceVar2 and Tcl_Eval to
        Tcl_EvalEx in Trace*Proc for slight efficiency improvement.

        from Miguel Sofer.  Report from Jean-Claude Wippler.  [Bug 219181]

2002-03-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclVar.c: Refactored CallTraces to collect repeated

        bitmap to the non-scrollable area and changed the color to be
        yellow from a plain white.  The colors can be whatever we want
        them to be, but thought I would start with something bold.

        * tools/man2help.tcl:
        * win/makefile.vc:  winhelp target now copies all needed files
        from tools/ to a workarea under $(OUT_DIR) and builds it from
        there.  No build cruft is left in tools/ anymore.  All paths
        used in man2help.tcl are now relative to where the script is.

        * win/nmakehlp.c (new):
        * win/rules.vc:  First draft fix for [Bug 527941].  More changes
        need to done to the makehelp target to get to stop leaving build
        files in the tools/ directory.  This does not address the syntax
        errors in the man files.  Having the contents of tcl.hpj(.in)
        inside makefile.vc allows for version numbers to be replaced with
        macros.
        
        The new nmakehlp.c is built by rules.vc in preprocessing and removes
        the need to use tricky shell syntax that wasn't compatible on Win9x
        systems.  Clean targets made Win9x complient.  This is a first draft
        repair for [Bug 533862].

        * doc/tcltest.n ([mainThread]):
        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:
        * tests/tcltest.test:  Major code cleanup to deal with whitespace,
        coding conventions, and namespace issues, with several minor bugs
        fixed in the process.

        * tests/main.test: Added missing [after cancel]s.

2002-03-25  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/main.test: Removed workarounds for Bug 495977.

        * library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:  Keep the value of $::auto_path
        unchanged, so that the tcltest package can test code that depends
        on auto-loading.  If a testing application needs $::auto_path pruned,
        it should do that itself.  [Bug 495726]
        Improve the processing of the -constraints option to [test] so that
        constraint lists can have arbitrary whitespace, and non-lists don't
        blow things up.  [Bug 495977]
        Corrected faulty variable initialization. [Bug 534845]

        and improved documentation of some aspects of the filesystem,
        particularly 'Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory' which now might match
        a single file/directory only, and 'file normalize' which
        wasn't very clear before.  Removed inconsistency betweens
        docs and the Tcl_Filesystem structure.  Also fixed 
        [Bug 523217] and corrected file normalization on Unix so that 
        it expands symbolic links.  Added some new tests of the 
        filesystem code (in the new file 'fileSystem.test'), and 
        some extra tests for correct handling of symbolic links.
        Fix to [Bug 530960] which shows up on Win98.  Made comparison
        with ".com" case insensitive in tclWinPipe.c
        
        ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: But only between alpha
        releases (users of the new Tcl_Filesystem lookup table in Tcl
        8.4a4 need to handle the new way in which Tcl may call
        Tcl_FSMatchInDirectory, and 'file normalize' on unix now
        behaves correctly).  Only known impact is with the 'tclvfs'
        extension.

        * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalObjEx):

        return codes other than (TCL_OK, TCL_ERROR) to runLevel 0 
        [Bug 533758]. Removed the static RecordTracebackInfo(), as its
        functionality is easily replicated by Tcl_LogCommandInfo. Bug

        * generic/tclInterp.c(Tcl_InterpObjCmd,SlaveObjCmd,SlaveRecursionLimit):
        * generic/tclTest.c:
        * tests/interp.test: Added the [interp recursionlimit] command to
        set/query the recursion limit of an interpreter.  Proposal and
        implementation from Stephen Trier. [TIP 87, Patch 522849]

2002-03-06  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tcl.h, tools/tcl.wse.in, unix/configure.in,
        * unix/tcl.spec, win/README.binary, win/configure.in, README:
        Bumped patchlevel; this might need to change in the future, but it
        will help us distinguish between the CVS version and the most
        recent released version.

2002-03-06  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclInt.h: for unshared objects, TclDecrRefCount now
        frees the internal rep before the string rep - just like the
        non-macro Tcl_DecrRefCount/TclFreeObj [Bug 524802].

        * tests/lsearch.test: Tests of new features.
        * generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): TIP#80 support.  See
        http://purl.org/tcl/tip/80 for details.

2002-03-05  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        *** 8.4a4 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***

        * unix/tclUnixChan.c: initial remedy for [Bug #525783] flush
        problem introduced by TIP #35.  This may not satisfy true serial
        channels, but it restores the correct flushing of std* channels on
        exit.

        * unix/README: added --enable-langinfo doc.

        * unix/tcl.spec:
        * tools/tcl.wse.in: fixed URL refs to use www.tcl.tk or SF.

2002-03-04  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * README:
        * mac/README:
        * unix/Makefile.in:
        * unix/README:
        * win/README:
        * win/README.binary: updated to use www.tcl.tk URL.

        * unix/Makefile.in: added older ChangeLogs to dist target.

        * tests/io.test:
        * tests/encoding.test: corrected iso2022 encoding results.
        added encoding-24.*
        * generic/tclEncoding.c (EscapeFromUtfProc): corrected output of
        escape codes as per RFC 1468. [Patch #474358] (taguchi)
        (TclFinalizeEncodingSubsystem): corrected potential double-free
        when encodings were finalized on exit. [Bug #219314, #524674]

        * tools/encoding/iso2022-jp.esc:
        * tools/encoding/iso2022.esc: gave <ESC>$B precedence over <ESC>$@,
        based on comments (point 1) in [Bug #219283] (rfc 1468)

        * tests/encoding.test: added encoding-23.* tests
        * generic/tclIO.c (FilterInputBytes): reset the TCL_ENCODING_START
        flags in the ChannelState when using 'gets'. [Bug #523988]
        Also reduced the value of ENCODING_LINESIZE from 30 to 20 as this
        seems to improve the performance of 'gets' according to tclbench.

2002-02-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceCommandProc): ensure that TraceCommandInfo
        structure was also deleted when a command was deleted to prevent a
        mem leak.

        * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateObjTrace): set tracePtr->flags
        correctly.

        * generic/tclTimer.c (TimerExitProc): remove remaining events in
        tls on thread exit.

2002-02-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclNamesp.c: allow cached fully-qualified namespace
        names to be usable from different namespaces within the same
        interpreter without forcing a new lookup [Patch 458872]. 

2002-02-28  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclExecute.c: Replaced a few direct stack accesses 
        with the POP_OBJECT() macro [Bug 507181] (Don Porter).

2002-02-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/GetIndex.3:
        * generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):
        * generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):  Revised the
        prototype of the Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct to take its struct
        table as a (CONST VOID *) argument, better describing what it is,
        maintaining source compatibility, and adding CONST correctness
        according to TIP 27.  Thanks to Joe English for an elegant
        solution. [Bug 520304]

        * generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs

        * generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main,StdinProc):  Corrected some reference
        count management errors on the interactive command Tcl_Obj found by
        Purify.  Thanks to Jeff Hobbs for the report and assistance.

2002-02-27  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalTokensStandard): corrected mem leak
        in error case.

        * generic/tclTest.c (TestStatProc[123]): correct harmless UMRs.

        * generic/tclLink.c (Tcl_LinkVar): correct mem leak in error case.

2002-02-27  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/socket.test (2.7): Accepted and applied patch for Tcl SF
          bug #523470 provided by Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
          to avoid timing problems in that test.

        * unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclpOpenFileChannel): Added code to regonize
          "/dev/tty" (by name) and to not handle it as tty / serial
          line. This is the controlling terminal and is special. Setting
          it into raw mode as is done for other tty's is a bad idea. This
          is a hackish fix for expect SGF Bug #520624. The fix has
          limitation: Tcl_MakeFileChannel handles tty's specially too, but
          is unable to recognize /dev/tty as it only gets a file
          descriptor, and no name for it.

2002-02-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclCmdAH.c (StoreStatData): corrected mem leak.

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): prevent obj leak in
          remedial regsub case.

        * generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_TranslateFileName): decr refcount for
          error case to prevent mem leak.

        * generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): removed extra obj allocation.

        * unix/tclUnixSock.c (Tcl_GetHostName): added an extra
          gethostbyname check to guard against failure with truncated
          names returned by uname.

        * unix/configure:
        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_SERIAL_PORT): added sys/modem.h check and defined
          _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED for HP-11 to get updated header decls.

        * unix/tclUnixChan.c: added Unix implementation of TIP #35, serial
          port support. [Patch #438509] (schroedter)

2002-02-26  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCmpCmds.c: (bugfix to the bugfix, hopefully the last)
          Bugfix to the new [for] compiling code: was setting a
          exceptArray parameter using another param which wasn't yet
          initialised, thus filling it with noise.

2002-02-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Changed to recognize the
          option "-error". Essentially ignores the option, always
          returning an empty string.

2002-02-25  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * doc/PkgRequire.3:
        * doc/Preserve.3:

        ckfree, ckrealloc, attemptckalloc, and attemptckrealloc macros, and
        to accurately describe when and how they are used. [Bug #497459] (dgp)

        * generic/tclHash.c (AllocArrayEntry, AllocStringEntry):
        Before invoking ckalloc when creating a Tcl_HashEntry,
        check that the amount of memory being allocated is
        at least as large as sizeof(Tcl_HashEntry). The previous
        code was allocating memory regions that were one
        or two bytes short. [Bug #521950] (dejong)

2002-02-25  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalEx): avoiding a buffer overrun
        reported by Joe English, and restoring tcl7.6 behaviour for
        [subst]: badly terminated nested scripts will raise an error
        and not be evaluated. [Bug #495207]

2002-02-25  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/tclUnixPort.h: corrected strtoll prototype mismatch on Tru64.
        * compat/strtod.c (strtod): simplified #includes
        * compat/strtol.c (strtol): gather result in a long before returning
        as a long: necessary on platforms where sizeof(int) != sizeof(long).

2002-02-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/tclLoadDyld.c: updated to use Mac OS X 10.1 dyld APIs that
        have more libdl-like semantics. (bug #514392)

2002-02-25  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCompCmds: fixing a bug in patch dated 2002-02-22, in
        the code for [for] and [while]. Under certain conditions, for long
        bodies, the exception range parameters were badly computed. Tests
        forthcoming: I still can't reproduce the conditions in the
        testsuite (!), although the bug (with assorted segfault or panic!)
        can be triggered from the console or with the new parse.bench in  
        tclbench.
        
2002-02-25  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * compat/strtoul.c, compat/strtol.c, compat/strtod.c: Added UCHAR,
        CONST and #includes to clean up GCC output.

2002-02-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * compat/strtoull.c (strtoull):
        * compat/strtoll.c (strtoll):
        * compat/strtoul.c (strtoul): Fixed failure to handle leading
        sign symbols '+' and '-' and '0X' and raise overflow errors.
        [Bug 440916]  Also corrects prototype and errno problems.

2002-02-23  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * configure: Regen.
        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Link with -n32
        instead of -32 when building on IRIX64-6.* system.
        [Tcl bug 521707]

2002-02-22  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclInt.h:
        * generic/tclObj.c: renamed global variable emptyString ->
        tclEmptyString because it is no longer static.
        * generic/tclPkg.c: Fix for panic when library is loaded on a
        platform without backlinking without proper use of stubs. [Bug 476537]

2002-02-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * tests/regexpComp.test: updated regexp-11.[1-4] to match changes
        in regexp.test for new regsub syntax

        * unix/configure:
        * unix/tcl.m4: added --enable-64bit support for AIX-4 (using -q64
        flag) when using IBM's xlc compiler.

        * tests/safe.test: updated safe-8.5 and safe-8.7
        * library/safe.tcl (CheckFileName): removed the limit on
        sourceable file names (was only *.tcl or tclIndex files with no
        more than one dot and 14 chars).  There is enough internal
        protection in a safe interpreter already.  Fixes [Tk Bug #521560].

2002-02-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclCompCmds: [FR 465811]. Optimising [if], [for] and
        [while] for constant conditions; in addition, [for] and [while]
        are now compiled with the "loop rotation" optimisation (thanks to
        Kevin Kenny). 

2002-02-22  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        --- TIP#76 CHANGES ---
        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): Final-argument-less
        [regsub] returns the modified string.
        * doc/regsub.n: Updated docs.
        * tests/regexp.test: Updated and added tests.

        * compat/strtoll.c (strtoll): 
        * compat/strtoull.c (strtoull): 
        * unix/tclUnixPort.h:
        * win/tclWinPort.h: Const-ing 64-bit compatability declarations.
        Note that the return pointer is non-const because it is entirely
        legal for the functions to be called from somewhere that owns the
        string being passed.  Fixes problem reported by Larry Virden.

2002-02-21  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * win/mkd.bat (removed):
        * win/coffbase.txt (new):
        * win/makefile.bc:
        * win/makefile.vc:  Changed the 'setup' target to stop using
        the mkd.bat file and just make the directory right in the rule.
        Same change to makefile.bc.  configure.in nor Makefile.in use
        it.

        coffbase.txt will be the master list for our "prefered base
        addresses" set by the linker.  This should improve load-time
        (NT only) by avoiding relocations.  Submissions to the list
        by extension authors are encouraged.

        Added a 'tidy' target to compliment 'clean' and 'hose' to remove
        just the outputs. Also removed the $(winlibs) macro as it wasn't
        being used.

        Stuff left to do:
        1) get the winhelp target to stop building in the tools/
        directory.
        2) stop using rmd.bat
        3) add more dependacy rules.

        * win/tclAppInit.c:  Reverted back to -r1.6, as the header file
        change to tclPort.h won't allow for easy embedded support
        outside of the source dist.  Thanks to Don Porter for pointing
        this out to me.

2002-02-21  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * win/makefile.vc:
        * win/rules.vc:  Added a new "loimpact" option that sets the
        -ws:aggressive linker option.  Off by default.  It's said to
        keep the heap use low at the expense of alloc speed.

        * win/tclAppInit.c: Changed #include "tcl.h" to be tclPort.h to
        remove the raw windows.h include.  tclPort.h brings in windows.h
        already and lessens the pre-compiled-header mush and the randomly
        useless #pragma comment (lib,...) references throughout the big
        windows.h tree (as observed at high linker warning levels).

2002-02-21  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tcl.h: Better guessing of LP64/ILP32 architecture, but
        now sensitive to presence of (suitable) <limits.h>

2002-02-20  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_RegExpRange,Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):
        Overlooked a few source incompatibilities.  Now using CONST84.
        * generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs
        * generic/tcl.h (Tcl_CmdObjTraceProc): silence warning from Sun
        Workshop compiler.

2002-02-20  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * win/buildall.vc.bat:
        * win/makefile.vc:
        * win/rules.vc: General clean-ups.  Added compiler and linker tests
        for a) the pentium 0x0F errata, b) optimizing (not all have this),
        and c) linker v6 section alignment confusion.  All these are tested
        first to make sure any D4002 or LNK1117 warnings aren't displayed.
        The pentium 0x0F errata is a recommended switch.  The v5 linker's
        section alignment default is 512, but the v6 linker was changed
        to 4096 in an attempt to speed loading on Win98.  I changed the
        default to always be 512 across both linkers, unless linking
        statically, then 4096 is used for the claimed speed effect. Using
        a 512 alignment saves 12k bytes of dead space in the DLL.

        Added IA64 B-stepping errata switch when the compiler supports it.

        Added profiling to $(lflags) when requested and also removed the
        explict -entry option as the default works fine as is.

        Removed win/tclWinInit.c from the special case section to let it
        use the common implicit rule as the $(EXTFLAGS) macro it had was
        never referenced anywhere.

2002-02-20  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * generic/tcl.h: Added code to guess the correct settings for
        TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG and TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE when configure doesn't
        tell us them, as can happen with extensions.

2002-02-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * doc/format.n: Updated docs to list the specification.
        * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Made behaviour on 64-bit
        platforms correctly meet the specification, that %d works with the
        native word-sized integer, instead of trying to guess (wrongly)
        from the value being passed.

2002-02-19  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * changes: First draft of updated changes for 8.4a4 release.

2002-02-15  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * unix/tclUnixPort.h: add strtoll/strtoull declarations for
        platforms that do not define them.

        * generic/tclIndexObj.c (STRING_AT): removed ptrdiff_t cast and
        use of VOID* in default case (GNU-ism).

2002-02-15  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

        * compat/strtoll.c:

2002-02-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tclExecute.c:
        * tclIOGT.c:
        * tclIndexObj.c: Touchups to the TIP 72 patch to make it
          compileable under Windows again. The changes are not complete,
          there is one nasty regarding _stati64

2002-02-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        +----------------------+
        | TIP #72 IMPLEMENTED. |
        +----------------------+

        There are a lot of changes from this TIP, so please see
        http://purl.org/tcl/tip/72.html for discussion of
        backward-compatability issues, but the main ones modifications are
        in:

        * generic/tcl.h: New types.
        * generic/tcl.decls: New public functions.
        * generic/tclExecute.c: 64-bit aware bytecode engine.
        * generic/tclBinary.c: 64-bit handling in [binary] command.
        * generic/tclScan.c: 64-bit handling in [scan] command.
        * generic/tclCmdAH.c: 64-bit handling in [file] and [format]
        commands.
        * generic/tclBasic.c: New "wordSize" entry in ::tcl_platform.
        * generic/tclFCmd.c: Large-file support (with many consequences.)
        * generic/tclIO.c: Large-file support (with many consequences.)
        * compat/strtoll.c, compat/strtoull.c: New support functions.
        * unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: 64-bit support and greatly enhanced
        cacheing.

        Most other changes, including all those in doc/* and test/* as
        well as the majority in the platform directories, follow on from
        these.

        Also coming out of the woodwork:
        * generic/tclIndex.c: Better support for Cray PVP.
        * win/tclWinMtherr.c: Better Borland support.

        Note that, in a number of places through the Unix part of the
        platform support, there are Tcl_Platform* references.  These are
        expanded into the correct way to call that particular underlying
        function, i.e. with or without a '64' suffix, and should be used
        by people working on the core in preference to the API functions
        they overlay so that the code remains portable depending on the
        presence or absence of 64-bit support on the underlying platform.

        SUMMARY OF INCOMPATIBILITIES AND FIXES 
        ======================================

        The behaviour of expressions containing constants that appear
        positive but which have a negative internal representation will
        change, as these will now usually be interpreted as wide
        integers. This is always fixable by replacing the constant with
        int(constant).

        Extensions creating new channel types will need to be altered as
        different types are now in use in those areas. The change to the
        declaration of Tcl_FSStat and Tcl_FSLstat (which are the new
        preferred API in any case) are less serious as no non-alpha
        releases have been made yet with those API functions.

        Scripts that are lax about the use of the l modifier in format and
        scan will probably need to be rewritten. This should be very
        uncommon though as previously it had absolutely no effect.

        Extensions that create new math functions that take more than one
        argument will need to be recompiled (the size of Tcl_Value
        changes), and functions that accept arguments of any type
        (TCL_EITHER) will need to be rewritten to handle wide integer
        values. (I do not expect this to affect many extensions at all.)

        * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Trivial fix for bug
          #517503, a memory leak reported by Miguel Sofer
          <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>. The leak happens if an error
          occurs for "set var [gets $chan]" and leak one empty object.

        * unix/tclUnixFile.c:
        * unix/tclUnixInit.c:
        * unix/tclUnixPort.h:  Early stage of DJGPP support for building
        Tcl on DOS.  Dynamic loading isn't working, yet.  Requires watt32
        for the TCP/IP stack.  No autoconf, yet.  Barely tested, but
        makes a working exe that runs Tcl in protected-mode, flat memory.
        [exec] and pipes will need the most work as multi-tasking on DOS
        has to be carefully.

        * unix/configure:
        * unix/tcl.m4: added -pthread for FreeBSD to EXTRA_CFLAGS and
        LDFLAGS.  Also triggered nodots only for FreeBSD-3.
        Added AC_DEFINE(_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS) for Solaris.

        * unix/tclUnixPort.h:
        * unix/tclUnixThrd.c: added thread-safe versions of readdir,
        localtime, gmtime and inet_ntoa for threaded build. (jgdavidson)

        * generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): prevented ckfree being
        called on a pointer to NULL.

        restored to return (char *): Tcl_DStringAppend,
        Tcl_DStringAppendElement, Tcl_JoinPath, Tcl_TranslateFileName,
        Tcl_ExternalToUtfDString, Tcl_UtfToExternalDString,
        Tcl_UniCharToUtfDString, Tcl_GetCwd, Tcl_WinTCharToUtf.  Also
        restored Tcl_WinUtfToTChar to return (TCHAR *) and 
        Tcl_UtfToUniCharDString to return (Tcl_UniChar *).  Modified
        some callers.  This change recognizes that Tcl_DStrings are
        de-facto white-box objects.

        * generic/tclDecls.h:
        * generic/tclPlatDecls.h: make genstubs

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c: corrected use of C++-style comment.

2002-02-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * tests/scan.test:
        * generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): corrected scan 0x... %x
        handling that didn't accept the 0x as a prelude to a base 16
        number.  [Bug #495213]

        * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): made early check
        for bad RE to stop checking further.

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): added special case to
        search for simple 'string map' style regsub calls.
        Delayed creation of resultPtr object until an initial match is
        made, as the input string object can then be reused for no matches.
        (Tcl_StringObjCmd): optimization improvements to the STR_MAP
        algorithm for zero-length and nocase cases.

        * tests/regexp.test:
        * tests/regexpComp.test: extra code coverage tests.

        * tests/string.test: added 10.18 and 10.19 extra tests.

        * generic/regc_locale.c (casecmp): slight performance improvement.

2002-02-05  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * library/http/http.tcl:
        * library/http/pkgIndex.tcl:  Corrected use of http::error when
        ::error was intended.  Bump to http 2.4.2.

2002-02-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileOutputProc): Fixed [bug 465765] reported
          by Dale Talcott <daletalcott@users.sourceforge.net>. Avoid
          writing nothing into a file as STREAM based implementations will
          consider this a EOF (if the file is a pipe). Not done in the
          generic layer as this type of writing is actually useful to
          check the state of a socket.

        * doc/open.n: Fixed [Bug 511540], added cross-reference to 'pid'
          as the command to use to retrieve the pid of a command pipeline
          created via 'open'.

2002-02-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): handle quirky about case
        earlier to avoid shimmering problem.

2002-02-01  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * tests/io.test: io-39.22 split into two tests, one platform
          dependent, the other not. -eofchar is not empty on the windows
          platform.

2002-02-01  Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclTest.c: fix to picky windows compiler problem
          with the 'MainLoop' function declaration.

2002-01-31  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * win/tclWinFCmd.c: TIP 27: Applied patch fixing CONST warnings on
          behalf of Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>.

2002-01-30  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tcl.decls:
        * generic/tcl.h:
        * generic/tclInt.h: For each interface identified in the TIP 27
          changes below as a POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY, the source of the
          incompatibility has been parameterized so that it can be
          removed.  When compiling extension code against the Tcl header
          files, use the compiler flag -DUSE_NON_CONST to remove the
          irresolvable source incompatibilities introduced by the TIP 27
          changes.  Resolvable changes are left for extension authors to
          resolve.
        * generic/tclDecls.h: make genstubs

2002-01-30  Vince Darley <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/FileSystem.3: added documentation for 3 public
        functions which had been overlooked.  Fixes [Bug 507701].
        * unix/mkLinks: make mklinks

2002-01-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * tests/regexpComp.test:
        * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): enhanced to support
        -nocase and -- options.

2002-01-28  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        * unix/tcl.m4 (SC_LOAD_TCLCONFIG):
        * win/tcl.m4 (SC_LOAD_TCLCONFIG): Set TCL_LIB_SPEC,
        TCL_STUB_LIB_SPEC, and TCL_STUB_LIB_PATH to the
        values of TCL_BUILD_LIB_SPEC, TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_SPEC,
        and TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_PATH when tclConfig.sh is loaded
        from the build directory. A Tcl extension should
        make use of the non-build versions of these variables
        since they will work in both cases. This modification
        was described in TIP 34.

2002-01-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

        * win/tclWinReg.c (regConnectRegistryProc,RecursiveDeleteKey)
        (DeleteKey,GetKeyNames,GetType,GetValue,OpenSubKey,SetValue):
        redid the CONSTification as previous changes caused failing tests.

        * tests/regexpComp.test (new):
        * generic/tclInt.h:
        * generic/tclBasic.c: added TclCompileRegexpCmd entry
        * generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileStringCmd): corrected to return
        TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE instead of TCL_ERROR for parsing errors, so
        it only throws the error for runtime compile, in case the user
        modifies 'string'.
        (TclCompileRegexpCmd): first try at a byte-compiled regexp
        command.  It handles static strings and ^$ bounded static strings.
        (TclCompileAppendCmd): made TclPushVarName call always use
        TCL_CREATE_VAR as numWords is always > 2 at that point.

        * generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode:INST_LIST): correct
        possibly dangerous decr in macro call.

        * win/tclWinInit.c (TclpFindVariable): CONSTification touch-up

        * win/tclWinReg.c (OpenSubKey): corrected bug introduced in
        CONSTification that dropped pointer reference.

        * ChangeLog.2000 (new file):
        * ChangeLog: broke changes from 2000 into ChangeLog.2000 to reduce
          size of the main ChangeLog.

2002-01-28  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

        * generic/tclPlatDecls.h:  Added preprocessor logic to force a
        typedef of TCHAR when __STDC__ is defined when using the uncommon
        -Za compiler switch with the microsoft compiler.

2002-01-27  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

        * doc/package.n: Documented global namespace context for script
        evaluation by [package require].

2002-01-27  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclInt.decls:

        * mac/tclMacLoad.c:
        * mac/tclMacResource.c:
        * mac/tclMacSock.c: TIP 27 CONSTification induced changes

        * tests/event.test:
        * tests/main.test: added catches/constraints to test that
        use features that don't exist on the mac.

2002-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

        Make -eofchar and -translation options read only for
        server sockets. [Bug 496733]
        
        * generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetChannelOption, Tcl_SetChannelOption):
        Instead of returning nothing for the -translation option
        on a server socket, always return "auto". Return the empty
        string enclosed in quotes for the -eofchar option on
        a server socket. Fixup -eofchar usage message so that
        it matches the implementation.
        * tests/io.test: Add -eofchar tests and -translation tests
        to ensure options are read only on server sockets.
        * tests/socket.test: Update tests to account for -eofchar
        and -translation option changes.

        * generic/tclIO.c (WriteChars): Fix for SF #506297, reported by
          Martin Forssen <ruric@users.sourceforge.net>. The encoding
          chosen in the script exposing the bug writes out three intro
          characters when TCL_ENCODING_START is set, but does not consume
          any input as TCL_ENCODING_END is cleared. As some output was
          generated the enclosing loop calls UtfToExternal again, again
          with START set. Three more characters in the out and still no
          use of input ... To break this infinite loop we remove
          TCL_ENCODING_START from the set of flags after the first call
          (no condition is required, the later calls remove an unset flag,
          which is a no-op). This causes the subsequent calls to
          UtfToExternal to consume and convert the actual input.

2002-01-17  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

        * generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_GetsObjCmd): Fixed bug #504642 as
          reported by Brian Griffin <bgriffin@users.sourceforge.net>,
          using his patch. Before the patch the generic I/O layer held an
          unannounced reference to the interp result to store the read
          line into. This unfortunately has disastrous results if the
          channel driver executes a tcl script to perform its operation,
          this freeing the interp result. In that case we are
          dereferencing essentially a dangling reference. It is not truly
          dangling because the object is in the free list, but this only
          causes us to smash the free list and have the error occur later
          somewhere else. The patch simply creates a new object for the
          line and later sets it into the interp result when we are done
          with reading.

        * generic/tclIOUtil.c (SetFsPathFromAbsoluteNormalized,
          SetFsPathFromAny,Tcl_FSNewNativePath,DupFsPathInternalRep):
        * generic/tclListObj.c (TclLsetList,TclLsetFlat):  Added some type
        casts to satisfy picky compilers.

        * generic/tclMain.c:  Bug fix: neglected the NULL case in
        TclGetStartupScriptFileName().  Broke Tk/wish.

        * doc/Tcl_Main.3:
        * generic/tclMain.c:  Substantial rewrite and expanded documentation
        of Tcl_Main to correct a number of bugs and flaws:

                * Interactive Tcl_Main can now enter a main loop, exit
                  that loop and continue interactive operations.  The loop
                  may even exit in the midst of interactive command typing
                  without loss of the partial command.  [Bugs 486453, 474131]
                * Tcl_Main now gracefully handles deletion of its master
                  interpreter.
                * Interactive Tcl_Main can now operate with non-blocking stdin
                * Interactive Tcl_Main can now detect EOF on stdin even in
                  mid-command.  [Bug 491341]
                * Added VFS-aware internal routines for managing the
                  startup script selection.
                * Tcl variable 'tcl_interactive' is now linked to C variable
                  'tty' so that one can disable/enable interactive prompts
                  at the script level when there is no startup script.  This
                  is meant for use by the test suite.
                * Consistent use of the Tcl libraries standard channels as
                  returned by Tcl_GetStdChannel(); as opposed to the channels
                  named 'stdin', 'stdout', and 'stderr' in the master interp,
                  which can be different or unavailable.
                * Tcl_Main now calls Tcl_Exit() if evaluation of [exit] in the
                  master interpreter returns, assuring Tcl_Main does not return.
                * Documented Tcl_Main's absence from public stub table
                * Documented that Tcl_Main does not return.
                * Documented Tcl variables set by Tcl_Main.
                * All prompts are done from a single procedure, Prompt.
                * Use of Tcl_Obj-enabled interfaces everywhere.

        * generic/tclInt.decls (TclGetStartupScriptPath,
          TclSetStartupScriptPath): New internal VFS-aware routines for
        managing the startup script of Tcl_Main.
        * generic/tclIntDecls.h:
        * generic/tclStubInit.c: make genstubs

        * generic/tclTest.c (TestsetmainloopCmd,TestexitmainloopCmd,
          Tcltest_Init,TestinterpdeleteCmd):
        * tests/main.test (new):  Added new file to test suite that
        thoroughly tests generic/tclMain.c; added some new test commands
        for testing Tcl_SetMainLoop().

        to accurately describe when and how they are used.  [Bug 497459]

        * generic/tclThreadJoin.c (TclRememberJoinableThread,TclJoinThread):
        Replaced Tcl_Alloc and Tcl_Free calls with ckalloc and ckfree so that
        memory debugging is supported.

        * mac/tclMacTime.c (TclpGetTZName): fix for daylight savings TZName bug

        * tests/basic.test (basic-39.4): Greatly simplified test while
        still leaving it so that it crashes when run without the fix to
        the [foreach] implementation.
        * generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ForeachObjCmd): Stopped Bug #494348 from
        happening by not trying to be so clever with cacheing; if nothing
        untoward is happening anyway, the less efficient technique will
        only add a few instruction cycles (one function call and a few
        derefs/assigns per list per iteration, with no change in the
        number of tests) and if something odd *is* going on, the code is
        now far more robust.

        * tests/basic.test (basic-39.4): Reproducable script from Bug #494348

2002-01-02  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

        * tests/util.test (Wrapper_Tcl_StringMatch,util-5.*): Rewrote so
        the test is performed with the right internal function since
        [string match] no longer uses Tcl_StringCaseMatch internally.

        * tests/string.test (string-11.51):
        * generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharCaseMatch):
        * generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_StringCaseMatch): Fault with matching
        case-insensitive non-ASCII patterns containing upper case
        characters.  [Bug #233257]
