	* Merge with the current TOT.
	
2002-02-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

	* 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].

	* 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.

2002-01-21  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

	* 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.

	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialSetOptionProc): Applied patch for SF
	  bug #500348 supplied by Rolf Schroedter
	  <schroedter@users.sourceforge.net>. The function modified the
	  contents of the the 'value' string and now does not do this
	  anymore. This is a followup to the change made on 2001-12-17.

2002-01-11  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/makefile.vc: Removed -GD compiler option.  It was intended
	for future use, but MS is again changing the future at their whim.
	The D4002 warning was harmless though, but someone using VC .NET
	logged it as a concern.  [Bug #501565]

2002-01-11  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

2002-01-05  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* 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().

2002-01-04  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

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

2002-01-04  Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>

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

2002-01-03  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/FileSystem.3:
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: Updated some old uses of "fileName" to
	new VFS terminology, "pathPtr".

2002-01-03  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* 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]

2001-12-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* library/init.tcl: make sure env(COMSPEC) on Windows is executed
	with the right case, as it may otherwise fail inexplicably.

2001-12-28  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCkalloc.c (MemoryCmd, TclFinalizeMemorySubsystem):
	Added the [memory onexit] command, intended to replace [checkmem].

	* doc/DumpActiveMemory.3: 
	* doc/memory.n: Updated documentation for [memory] and related
	matters.  [Bug 487677]

	* mac/tclMacBOAMain.c (Tcl_Main, CheckmemCmd): Removed all the
	machinery for the [checkmem] command that is completely duplicated
	by code in generic/tclCkalloc.c.

	* generic/tclBinary.c:
	* generic/tclListObj.c:
	* generic/tclObj.c:
	* generic/tclStringObj.c: Removed references to [checkmem] in
	comments, referencing [memory active] instead, since it is
	documented.

2001-12-28  Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* mac/tclMacInit.c:
	* mac/tclMacTclCode.r: synced up tclInit features to unix/win:
	implemented TclSetPreInitScript support, use of existing tclInit 
	proc if defined, check of default encoding dir if set. Changed
	script library resource names to lowercase (i.e. same as
	corresponding files). Used Tcl_JoinPath instead of string append.
	Check that system encoding could be loaded before utf translating
	the LibraryPath.
	* mac/tclMacApplication.r:
	* mac/tclMacLibrary.r:
	* mac/tclMacOSA.r:
	* mac/tclMacResource.r: minor version resources cleanup

2001-12-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_TCLCONFIG, SC_PATH_TKCONFIG):
	Search for config file using exec_prefix instead of
	prefix when no --with-tcl or --with-tk argument is used. [Bug 492418]

2001-12-21  Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tcl.m4: fixed incorrect SHLIB_LD_LIBS
	setting for MacOSX / Darwin.
	* unix/configure: Regen.
	* unix/mkLinks.tcl: improved case-insensitive
	filesystem support.
	* unix/mkLinks: Regen.

2001-12-19  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in (dist): corrected use of eolFix.tcl on
	working files.  It should operate on distributed files.  [Bug 495120]

2001-12-19  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* tools/tcl.wse.in: Fix for #495120.  tcl.wse.in was
	stored in cvs with improper <eol>.  This resulted in
	corrupted <eol> when checked-out on translating CVS
	clients such as windows (CRCRLF) and mac (CRCR).

2001-12-19  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/configure:
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Update

	options are passed to gcc or ld. [Tk Bug 220863]

2001-12-19  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/README: Update to account for changes
	in the unix/dltest directory, the way autoconf
	is run, and the new "make shell" target.

2001-12-19  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in: Rename dltest to dlpkgs to
	fix problem where lib files were not getting
	built because dltest/ directory already existed.

2001-12-19  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialCheckProc): corrected time
	calculations to be unsigned. (schroedter)

2001-12-18  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in: Define new dltest target that
	simply does a cd to dltest/ before running make.
	There is no need for the separate configure
	script that was previously being used.
	* unix/configure: Regen.
	* unix/configure.in: Subst into dltest/Makefile.
	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Define LIBS using
	DL_LIBS, LIBS, and MATH_LIBS variables instead
	of TCL_LIBS variable from tclConfig.sh.
	* unix/dltest/README: Update readme to account for new
	configure free implementation.
	* unix/dltest/configure: Removed.

	an int and get rid of a persistent and pointless warning with
	SunPro compiler.

	* generic/tclCkalloc.c (Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc,Tcl_AttemptDbCkrealloc): 
	* generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc,Tcl_AttemptDbCkrealloc):
	Made the file parameters to these functions into CONST char *,
	like they always should have been to match the other Tcl*Db* API
	functions.

2001-12-17  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net> 

	* Applied #219311 on behalf of Rolf Schroedter
	  <schroedter@users.sourceforge.net> to prevent fcopy on serial
	  ports from flooding the event queue.

2001-12-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/CrtInterp.3:
	* generic/tclBasic.c: docs and comments corrections [Bug 493412]
	Bug & patch by Don Porter.  

2001-12-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* win/tclWinNotify.c (Tcl_FinalizeNotifier): Stop Tcl on Windows
	from crashing when shutdown from a non-Tcl thread. Fixes Bug
	#217982 [orig. 5804] reported by Hugh Vu and Gene Leache.   I'm
	not convinced that the shutdown process is right even with this,
	but it was definitely wrong without...

2001-12-13  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net> 

	* win/tclWinSock.c (TcpGetOptionProc): Fix for tcl bug item
	  #478565 reported by an unknown person. Bypasses all calls to

2001-12-11  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:
	* generic/tclCompile.c:
	* generic/tclExecute.c: consistency patch, to make all
	  instructions that pop a variable number of Tcl_Obj's off the
	  execution stack take the number of popped objects as first
	  operand. Modified *only* the new instructions
	  INST_LIST_INDEX_MULTI and INST_LSET_FLAT, so this has no effect
	  on bytecodes generated up to tcl8.4a3 inclusive.

	* generic/tclExecute.c: fix debug messages in INST_LSET_LIST. 

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileLindexCmd):

	ordinary builds.

2001-12-05  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	for some build types.

2001-11-30  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBinary.c (BINARY_SCAN_MAX_CACHE, Tcl_BinaryObjCmd,
	ScanNumber): Added caching scheme to reduce number of object
	allocations when doing scans of large repetitive binary strings.
	See comments in file for reasoning behind implementation.
	Suggested by Miguel Sofer in Patch #429916, but independently
	implemented.

2001-11-28  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/regsub.n, doc/regexp.n: Converted dangling references to
	METASYNTAX section into references to the re_syntax manual page.

2001-11-27  D. Richard Hipp   <drh@hwaci.com>

	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: Fix a coredump in the filename normalizer
	code for Win95/98.

2001-11-27  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/makefile.vc: Removed the Tk reference for the 'winhelp' target.
	Converge at install will need to be the solution for Tk and all other
	extensions.

2001-11-27  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-24.2): Made test less sensitive to OS
	preemption, but perfection isn't practical [Bug 463189, reported
	by Don Porter.]

	* tests/switch.test (switch-9.*): Added tests to exercise more of
	the argument checking.  (switch-7.2,switch-7.3): Test changed
	behaviour slightly.
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SwitchObjCmd): Reworked argument parsing
	to be stricter about what it accepts.  This should make uses of
	the [switch] command be more maintainable.  [Bug 475397, reported
	by Don Porter.]

2001-11-26  Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: 'make genstubs' after changes
	in 2001-11-23 commit from Daniel Steffen.

2001-11-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in: Add comments to better describe
	TCL_EXE and when it should be available.
	* win/Makefile.in: Add TCL_EXE variable to be used
	by rules like `make genstubs`. Don't set TCL_LIBRARY
	before running `make genstubs` since we will be running
	with a tclsh from the PATH not the one we build.

2001-11-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add comctl32.lib
	to wish link libs. This change was originally added
	to Tk on 2001-11-09 but was not committed to Tcl.

2001-11-23  Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in:
	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/install-sh:
	* unix/mkLinks:
	* unix/mkLinks.tcl:
	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c:
	* unix/tclMtherr.c: Mac OSX support: build system, dynamic code loading
	and support for case-insensitive filesystems in mkLinks (patch #435258)

2001-11-23  Daniel Steffen <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	Up-port to 8.4 of mac code changes for 8.3.3 & various new
	changes for 8.4, some already backported to 8.3.4 (patch #435658)

	* generic/tclObj.c: added #include to fix missing prototype errors

	* generic/tcl.h: MAC_TCL: addition of ConditionalMacros.h and use of
	DLLIMPORT and DLLEXPORT like on other platforms.  ( => no longer need
	the .exp files and can remove use of #pragma export that never worked
	well)
	removed line continuation in #if clause as this breaks the mac
	resource compiler (note that *.r files include tcl.h)

	* mac/tclMacFile.c: fixed bug in permission checking code

	* mac/tclMacLoad.c: corrected utf8 handling, comparison of
	package names to code fragment names changed to only match on the
	length of package name, this allows for fragment names with version
	numbers appended

	* mac/tclMacInt.h:
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* mac/tclMacTime.c:
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: moved declaration of TclpGetGMTOffset()

	* mac/tclMacShLib.exp:
	* mac/tclMacOSA.exp:
	* mac/tclMacMSLPrefix.h: removed files

	* unix/Makefile.in: removed reference to .exp files

	* mac/MW_TclBuildLibHeader.h:
	* mac/MW_TclBuildLibHeader.pch:
	* mac/MW_TclHeaderCommon.h:
	* mac/MW_TclStaticHeader.h:
	* mac/MW_TclStaticHeader.pch: new precompiled header files

	* mac/MW_TclAppleScriptHeader.pch:
	* mac/MW_TclHeader.pch:
	* mac/MW_TclTestHeader.pch:
	* mac/tclMacCommonPch.h: revised precompiled header handling: now
	include a common header file 'MW_TclHeaderCommon.h' from all .pch
	files, the .pch files themselves now only setup #defines (e.g.
	BUILD_tcl, STATIC_BUILD, TCL_DEBUG, TCL_THREADS) like in makefiles on
	other platforms.

	* mac/tclMac.h:
	* mac/tclMacPort.h:
	* mac/tclMacInt.h: use of BUILD_tcl and TCL_STORAGE_CLASS like on other
	platforms, standardize #include'd files to what's done on other
	platforms, removed use of #pragma export.

	* mac/tcltkMacBuildSupport.sea.hqx: new archive of mac build support
	files & suggested build environment directory hierarchy: 
	'Building MacTclTk' & 'CW Pro6 changes' readme's.
	projects for MoreFiles 1.5.2 static & shared libraries.
	project & sources for 'pseudoCarbonSupport', see below.
	included XML versions of the projects for CW Pro5 or Pro7 users.

	* mac/tclMacProjects.sea.hqx: updated mac build project files:
	build support for CodeWarrior Pro6, UnivIntf 3.4 & shared runtime
	libraries: the MSL libraries and MoreFiles are no longer compiled into
	Tcl.shlb, all non-static binaries now use the Pro6 shared runtime
	libraries and MoreFiles.shlb.  These shlbs are merged into the standard
	Wish and TclShell, but 3rd party applications linking with Tcl.shlb or
	Tk.shlb need to setup access to them.  (see the "(sh-ppc)" targets
	for how to do this.)
	included XML versions of the projects for CW Pro5 or Pro7 users.
	use compat/strtod.c instead of MSL's strtod()
	use WASTE versions of MSL for tcl test target to avoid text buffer
	cutoff at 32k.
	Merging the full MSL.shlb and the other shlbs into Wish & TclShell
	makes them a bit larger than before, use unmerged binaries to avoid
	copying the shared code with every application, e.g. when deploying
	numerous Wish based droplets.
	Note that using CW Pro5 to compile extensions is in principle still
	possible, but need to link with Pro6 runtime libraries.
	Tclapplescript now loads and runs on CFM68k.
	Highly experimental "pseudoCarbon" support for Tcl only on OS 8/9:
	binaries in "Build:(Carbon):" link against CarbonLib instead of
	InterfaceLib, however the actual code has not been carbonized! i.e. it
	will not run on OSX and may not even run properly with CarbonLib. 
	This should in principle allow you to build & test OS9 CFM Carbon
	binaries that need to link with Tcl.shlb.  On OSX you can use the
	native Tcl.framework, but you have to build a MachO binary as there
	is no CFM glue lib for Tcl.framework.
	the library pseudoCarbonSupport.shlb manually loads the symbols
	from InterfaceLib that are not in CarbonLib but are needed by the
	uncarbonized code in Tcl.shlb and TclShell.

	* generic/tclMain.c: MAC_TCL: workaround for broken/non-standard isatty
	on MW Pro6, #include <unistd.h> instead of defining isatty

	* mac/tclMacPort.h: MW Pro6 changes for MSL fcntl.h, stat.h & isatty

	* mac/tclMacAppInit.c: add EXTERN to InstallConsole to enable DLL
	export via the TCL_STORAGE_CLASS mechanism.

	* mac/tclMacFCmd.c: fix for FSpDirectoryCopy API change

	* mac/tclMacLibrary.c: emit compile time error when
	TCL_REGISTER_LIBRARY and USE_TCL_STUBS are both defined at the same
	time in an extension, this use is not currently supported and will
	result in a crash when dynamically loading the extension.

	* mac/tclMacApplication.r:
	* mac/tclMacLibrary.r:
	* mac/tclMacOSA.r:
	* mac/tclMacResource.r: fixed obsolete copyrights/dates in version
	strings; updated version strings to standard usage; added support for
	'(Support Libraries)' subfolder for shared runtime libraries in
	unmerged binaries; commented out demo setting of "Tcl Environment
	Variables"; reorganized resources among these files to avoid 
	multiple copies in applications and shared libraries, the script
	libraries are now no longer duplicated in Tclsh but are only included 
	in the resources of Tcl.shlb.

	* mac/tclMacChan.c:
	* mac/tclMacSock.c: cast for *BlockMode

	* mac/tclMacUtil.c:
	* mac/tclMacMath.h: removed obsolete hypot() definition

	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
	* generic/tclInt.decls:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* mac/tclMacNotify.c:
	* mac/tclMacOSA.c:
	* mac/tclMacUtil.c:
	* generic/tclThreadTest.c: renamed routines conflicting with standard
	Apple or MoreFiles headers (at compile or link time):
	GetGlobalMouse         -> GetGlobalMouseTcl
    	FSpGetDirectoryID      -> FSpGetDirectoryIDTcl
    	FSpOpenResFileCompat   -> FSpOpenResFileCompatTcl
    	FSpCreateResFileCompat -> FSpCreateResFileCompatTcl
	NewThread              -> NewTestThread
	the renamed MoreFiles *Tcl routines are just wrappers calling into the
	MoreFiles DLL.

	* mac/tclMacCommonPch.h:
	* mac/tclMacThrd.c:
	* mac/tclMacPanic.c: removed OLDROUTINENAMES define, renamed obsolete
	apple API names to modern equivalents; UH3.4 support: added #include
	<ControlDefinitions.h>, updated New*Proc() calls to New*UPP().

	* mac/tclMacUnix.c: added missing (Tcl_Obj ***) cast to
	Tcl_ListObjGetElements call

	* mac/tclMacAlloc.c: modernized TclpSysAlloc() to use temporary
	memory instead of system heap memory when available (MacOS
	>= 7.5 and possibly earlier, use of system heap has been
	discouraged for a long time and has many disadvantages, e.g. memory
	isn't paged out, and errors can very easily bring the system down);
	fixed crashing bug in TclpSysRealloc() and CleanUpExitProc() where
	memory was being accessed after having been deallocated; fixed
	memory leak in (de)allocation code (for every block ever allocated
	with TclpSysAlloc, a Ptr was leaked), if temporary memory is
	available, don't track allocated memory, instead use
	RecoverHandle() to get Handle from Ptr, otherwise use doubly linked
	list to correctly track memory and free all allocated memory; added
	new option for ConfigureMemory: MEMORY_DONT_USE_TEMPMEM, disables
	use of temporary memory even when it would be available, only
	necessary when writing e.g. a driver (using tcl??); increased
	fraction of application heap reserved for OS routines to 512K

	* compat/strftime.c: 
	* mac/tclMacTime.c:
	* mac/tclMacPort.h:
	* generic/tclInt.decls: 
	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c: timezone support for mac via 
	TclpGetTZName() like on windows, using an inverse timezone table
	adapted from tclDate.c to map gmtoffset in seconds gotten from
	the MacOS APIs to a  timezone string, as there is no good way to get
	this info from MacOS. I had to make up some unusual timezones and
	arbitrarily decide on the most standard of the multiple choices
	available for every timezone.

	* generic/tclExecute.c: workaround for a MSL bug/misfeature: for
	very small floats, MSL can return errno ERANGE but a
	non-zero value ( < LDBL_MIN however)
	
	* mac/tclMacAppInit.c: support for WASTE text library using
	temporary memory, setting has no effect if WASTE is not used.
	
	* mac/tclMacPanic.c: removed duplicate code from generic/tclPanic.c
	and added that file to projects instead.

	* tests/all.tcl: set tcltest::singleProcess 1 as multiple processes
	are not available on the mac.
	
	* tests/cmdAH.test: access time not available on the mac, skip the 
	atime touch test
	
	* tests/appendComp.test:
	* tests/cmdMZ.test:
	* tests/compile.test:
	* tests/exec.test:
	* tests/fileName.test:
	* tests/lset.test:
	* tests/namespace.test:
	* tests/tcltest.test: added missing cleanups/tests/catches that
	caused tests to fail on the mac.

	* doc/tclvars.n: doc bug, env(PWD) should be env(HOME) [Bug 463834]
	
2001-11-21  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/trace.test (trace-8.8): Corrected test for Bug 219393.

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken,CallCommandTraces):
	* generic/tclCmdMZ>c (Tcl_UntraceCommand):  Added Tcl_Preserve and
	Tcl_Release calls to prevent deletion of CommandTrace structures
	until all callers are done using them, preventing memory corruption.
	[Bug 453805]

2001-11-20  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/GetTime.3 (Tcl_GetTime):
	* generic/tcl.decls (Tcl_GetTime):
	* generic/tclClock.c (Tcl_ClockObjCmd):
	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCleanupByteCode, TclInitByteCodeObj):

	* win/tclWinTime.c (TclpGetSeconds, TclpGetClicks, Tcl_GetTime):
	Changed all uses of TclpGetTime to Tcl_GetTime.  Added Tcl_GetTime
	to the Stubs table and the library documentation.  Added a
	TclpGetTime in tclUtil.c for backward compatibility of
	extensions. [Patch #483500, TIP#73]

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TimeObjCmd): Corrected an error in the
	[time] command that caused incorrect results to be returned if the
	total duration of all iterations exceeded 2**31 microseconds.
	[Bug #478847]

	* generic/tclInt.decls:
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclStubInit.h: Reran 'make genstubs'
	
2001-11-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c
	* generic/tclCompile.h: 
	* generic/tclExecute.c: moving all code relative to bytecodes from
	tclBasic.c to tclExecute.c - the functions RecordTracebackInfo and
	Tcl_ExprObj went to tclExecute.c, and new interface function was
	defined (TclCompEvalObj).
	The final objective of this sequence of moves is to provide a
	clean, clear-cut interface between Tcl's core and the
	compiler/engine subsystem.  

2001-11-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c
	* generic/tclCompile.h: 
	* generic/tclExecute.c: factoring out of common code in tclBasic.c
	(new function TclInterpReady defined: it resets the interp's
	result, then checks that it hasn't been deleted and that the
	nesting level is acceptable). Passed the responsibility of calling
	it to the *callers* of TclEvalObjvInternal.

2001-11-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c
	* generic/tclExecute.c: a better variant of the previous-to-last
	commit (restoring numLevels computations). The managing of the
	levels now has to be done by the *callers* of TclEvalObjvInternal  

2001-11-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c: missing variable declaration under
	TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG. 

2001-11-20  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c:
	* generic/tclProc.c: restoring the computations of iPtr->numLevels
	to the original logic (previous to buggy modifs on 2001-11-16).

2001-11-20  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* tools/eolFix.tcl (new-file):
	* unix/Makefile.in: added EOL correction for Windows bat files to
	dist target. [Bug #219409] (davygrvy)

	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): update of patch
	from 2001-11-16 that uses the old Tcl encoding check mechanism as
	a fallback to the original.  Also added a TCL_DEFAULT_ENCODING
	#define (defaults to iso8859-1).  Tcl will first try setlocale and
	nl_langinfo, and if that fails, guess based on certain LANG|LC_*
	env vars. [Patch #418645]

2001-11-19  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/buildall.vc.bat:  Added useful comments.

2001-11-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/compile.test: added a test for bug [Bug 483309]

2001-11-19  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinFile.c:
	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:
	* doc/file.n:
	* tests/winFCmd.test: improved speed of file normalization
	for Win95/98, and clarified docs on differences in file
	normalization between NT/2000 and the older operating systems.
	Added test to ensure normalization is correct.
	
2001-11-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:
	* generic/tclParse.c: Code reorganisation. Moved all evaluation
	functions from tclParse.c to tclBasic.c, so that now tclParse.c
	deals exclusively with parsing and all evaluations are done by
	code in tclBasic.c. The functions moved are: TclEvalObjvInternal,
	Tcl_EvalObjv, Tcl_LogCommandInfo, Tcl_EvalTokensStandard,
	Tcl_EvalTokens, Tcl_EvalEx, Tcl_Eval, Tcl_EvalObj and
	Tcl_GlobalEvalObj. 

2001-11-19  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tests/trace.test (trace-8.8): Added adapted version of Bug
	#219393 as new test; the test won't reliably show up the old
	problem unless it is being run under something like Purify, but
	something is better than nothing...

	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_TraceVar2, Tcl_UntraceVar2): Added missing
	mask bits for trace result type and a check for a nonsense flag
	combination.
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceVarProc): Added missing test for NULL
	when deleting a trace that doesn't cause an error.

	* doc/TraceVar.3: Added documentation for change due to TIP#68.

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceVarInfo): Removed problematic errMsg
	field from structure.
	(TraceVarProc): Removed references to errMsg field and changed
	handling of errors so that they returned a Tcl_Obj* containing the
	error string.  This minimizes the number of calls to the memory
	management subsystem.
	(TclTraceCommandObjCmd, TraceCommandProc): Removed references to
	errMsg field which was never used in command traces in any case.
	(Tcl_TraceObjCmd, TclTraceVariableObjCmd): Removed references to
	errMsg field and made variable traces register with
	TCL_TRACE_RESULT_OBJECT bit set.

	* generic/tcl.h (TCL_TRACE_RESULT_DYNAMIC,TCL_TRACE_RESULT_OBJECT): 
	New constants to define how to handle the strings returned from
	trace callbacks [TIP#68]
	* generic/tclVar.c (CallTraces, Tcl_GetVar2Ex, TclGetIndexedScalar,
	TclGetElementOfIndexedArray, Tcl_SetVar2Ex, TclSetIndexedScalar,
	TclSetElementOfIndexedArray, Tcl_UnsetVar2, Tcl_ArrayObjCmd,
	TclDeleteVars, TclDeleteCompiledLocalVars, DeleteArray,
	TclVarTraceExists): Support for those new trace flags.

2001-11-19  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: patch for [Bug 483309] (petasis).

2001-11-16  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclListObj.c: removed a C++-style comment that
	  was inadvertently left in the source code.

2001-11-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* tests/interp.test: 
	* generic/tclInterp.c (SlaveObjCmd): Corrected argument checking
	for '$interp alias|aliases|issafe'. [Patch #479560] (thoyts, hobbs)

	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: added HAVE_LANGINFO code block.
	* unix/configure: regened
	* unix/configure.in: added SC_ENABLE_LANGINFO call
	* unix/tcl.m4: made SHLIB_LD_LIBS='${LIBS}' for FreeBSD* (meyer)
	Added modified version of Wagner patch to make use of nl_langinfo
	where possible to determine Unix platform encoding, instead of the
	inflexible built-in system.  This is used by default when
	possible, and can be disabled with --enable-langinfo=no.
	[Patch #418645] (hobbs, wagner)

2001-11-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompile.h:
	* generic/tclExecute.c:
	* generic/tclObj.c: moved Tcl_GetCommandFromObj and all defining
	code for tclCmdNameType objects to tclObj.c (from tclExecute.c). 
	This code has nothing to do with bytecodes.

2001-11-16  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompile.h:
	* generic/tclExecute.c:
	* generic/tclParse.c:
	* generic/tclProc.c:
	* tests/stack.test: consolidation of duplicated code (in
	TclExecuteByteCode and EvalObjv); renaming of EvalObjv to
	TclEvalObjv as it is not static anymore; restored consistency of
	level counts between compiled and directly evaled code.
	[Bug 480896]

	[Patch #471874] (work by Kenny, commited by Hobbs)

2001-11-12  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/buildall.vc.bat(new):
	* win/makefile.vc:  Small fix with deriving the "OriginalFilename"

	can run tclsh inside either gdb or insight.

2001-11-10  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/makefile.vc:  Added a check to make sure one runs the makefile
	from the /win directory only.

	* win/mkd.bat:
	* win/rmd.bat:  Changes from Llyod Lim for better stability.
	[Patch #456759]

2001-11-09  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/makefile.vc:
	* win/tcl.dsp:  winhelp target fixes for non-NT systems.  It
	seems NMAKE under these remembers changed directories during
	commands.   A new tcltest feature from Peter Spjuth 
	<peter.spjuth@space.se> to specify a pattern file from the
	commandline and redirecting output to a file when not under
	NT with it's scrollback console.  Then it replays it, piped
	through more.  Added 2 new static "configurations" to tcl.dsp.
	I could keep adding more, but I think we should leave it up to
	the user for customizing it.

	Sticky-points left:  'profile' option.

2001-11-09  Don Porter	<dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/var.test:
	* generic/tclVar.c: Corrected bug in [global] when dealing
	with variable names matching :*.  [Bug 480176]

2001-11-08  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	Fixup stack size under OSF1. [Tcl patch 474790]

	* unix/configure: Regen.
	* unix/tcl.m4: Add HAVE_PTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE define
	to EXTRA_CFLAGS to adjust initial stack size.

2001-11-08  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	Enable thread support under FreeBSD. [Tcl bug 473708]

	* unix/configure: Regen.
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Check for pthread functions
	in libc_r and enable thread support if found.
	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Set SHLIB_LD_LIBS and use it in
	the Makefile to properly link a shared library.

2001-11-08  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in:
	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in:
	Avoid adding libc to the LIBS variable since it
	is not needed when linking with CC. If required
	when linking with LD it should be done on a case
	by case basis in tcl.m4.

2001-11-08  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/rules.vc:
	* win/makefile.vc:  Fixed install target to adjust for the
	different build types.  Added a 'linkexten' option to link the
	win extensions inside the shell when built static.  Placed
	win/tclAppInit.c patch in SF patch DB for approval. 'profile'
	option not hooked in yet.  Everything else know is done.

	* win/tcl.dsp(new):
	* win/tcl.dsw(new):  Simple MsDev stub project files that calls
	makefile.vc.  Will help run Tcl in the debugger easier without
	confusing MsDev for where the .pdb files are.

2001-11-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in:
	* win/Makefile.in:
	Print a message indicating that the user should
	run "make genstubs" when the generated tclStubInit.c
	file is out of date. We can't regenerate automatically
	since there may be no tclsh on the system and that
	would cause bootstrap problems. [Tcl bug 465874]

2001-11-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC in tclConfig.sh. It should be
	included by extensions that need to find Tcl include
	headers in the install location. The user can override
	the include install dir with --includedir so we need
	to record this information for extensions. [Tcl bug 421835]
	
	* unix/configure: Regen.
	* unix/configure.in: Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC.
	* unix/tclConfig.sh.in: Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC.
	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/configure.in: Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC.
	* win/tclConfig.sh.in: Define TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC.

2001-11-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/rules.vc:
	* win/makefile.vc: Dropped the NOMSVCRT macro and put it on the
	option list instead.  It makes more sense to me this way as
	NOMSVCRT=0 would only be the valid setting.  Fixed the dde and reg
	extension for building static.  Improved, but not perfected, the
	winhelp target.

2001-11-07  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/README: Change minimum VC++ version to 5.X since
	4.X is known not to work.
	Indicate that Mingw is required and building with Cygwin
	gcc is not supported. Include instructions that indicate
	how to install Mingw and what URLs folks should use to
	download the supported version of Mingw.
	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/configure.in: Error out if user tries to compile the
	Windows version of Tcl with Cygwin gcc. Users should compile
	with Mingw gcc instead.

2001-11-06  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net> 

	* generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Fixed bug #478856 reported by
	  Stuart Cassoff <stwo@users.sourceforge.net>. The bug caused loss
	  of fileevents when [read]ing less data from the channel than
	  buffered. Due to an empty input buffer the flag
	  CHANNEL_NEED_MORE_DATA was set but never reset, causing the I/O
	  system to wait for more data instead of using a timer to
	  synthesize fileevents and to flush the pending data out of the
	  buffers.

2001-11-06  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/rules.vc (new):
	* win/makefile.vc:  Complete over/under rewrite to support numerous
	build options all from the commandline itself without needing to
	edit the makefile.  Now requires vcvars32.bat to be run prior to
	running nmake for bootstraping the environment.  Fully doc'd usage
	for it is in makefile.vc.  Commentary welcome.  Sticky points left
	are:

	1) winhelp target shows errors in the converting script.
	2) .rc scripts aren't getting the right #defines to build the correct
	   "OriginalFilename" strings. (have patch, won't commit yet)
	3) Naming convention with suffixes describing the buildtype are 'tsdx'
	   which will need public acceptance. ie. tclsh84tsx.exe is a (t)
	   threaded shell (s) statically linked to the core and (x) uses
	   msvcrt instead of libcmt.

2001-11-04  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/init.tcl: made filesystem fallback proc
	::tcl::CopyDirectory more robust to vagaries of non-native
	filesystems.
	
2001-11-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/file.n:
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: updated documentation and comments
	to clarify behaviour of 'file copy' wrt soft links.
	
2001-10-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinFile.c: fix to '-types {f r}' bug in
	TclpMatchInDirectory (which could cause a UMR, as well as
	returning wrong results).  Also improved API for 'stat'
	to resolve [Bug#219258].
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c
	* win/tclWinInt.h: addition of improved stat API to internal 
	lookup table.
	* tests/fileName.test: two new tests for the above bug.
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: some cleanup of comments and #ifdefs
	
2001-10-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* unix/tclUnixFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): Argument to access()
	was entryPtr->d_name instead of nativeEntry which failed when
	trying to check access for files in other than the current
	directory. [Bug 475941, reported by Georgios Petasis]

2001-10-25  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: Added stateUpdated member to struct TtyState.
	(TtyCloseProc,TtySetOptionProc,TtyInit): Use stateUpdated member
	of TtyState to decide whether it is necessary to reset a serial
	port when Tcl closes it.  Blindly resetting can cause Tcl to be
	sent an unexpected SIGTSTP when it is executing in the background
	[Bug 471374, reported by Chris Nelson]

2001-10-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclProc.c: changing a memcmp to strncmp to avoid a memory
	error detected by purify (thanks Jeff); modify style to agrre with
	the style guide. 
	
2001-10-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net> 

	* generic/tclInt.decls (TclExpandCodeArray,TclGetInstructionTable):
	  Added to internal stubs table. Tclcompiler (Tclpro project)
	  needs them if used as loadable package under Windows. Changed
	  signatures. We don't want to describe compiler internal
	  structures in "tclInt.h".

	* generic/tclCompile.h: S.a. Removed function declarations.
	* generic/tclCompile.c: S.a. Adapted to changed signatures.

	* unix/configure: 
	* unix/configure.in:

2001-09-24  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

	* The change below fixes [Bug #464380]. The bug was reported by
	  Ronnie Brunner <rbrunner@users.sourceforge.net>. He also
	  provided the patch.
	

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): had to adjust fix from

	This is really a place where feather would have been essential.
	[Bug #461322]

	the library path ($tcl_libPath) are determined relative to the

	relative pathnames were being incorrectly generated, and in
	the worst case, memory access violations were crashing the program.

	* generic/tclExecute.c:
	* tests/expr-old.test:  Re-wrote Tcl's [expr rand()] and
	[expr srand($seed)] implementations, fixing a range error
	on some 64-bit platforms.  Added tests that detect the bug.
	The rewrite changes the seed -> sequence map on 64-bit
	platforms, only for seed >= 2^31, a slight incompatibility.
	[Bug 121072, Patch 102781]

2000-12-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/init.tcl:
	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:
	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:
	* library/opt/optparse.tcl:
	* library/opt/pkgIndex.tcl: Where [uplevel] is used in a proc
	to evaluate a Tcl built-in command in the caller's context,
	the built-in commands are now fully namespace-qualified.  This
	prevents problems when the caller context is in a namespace where
	the built-in command name has been used by a command in the
	namespace.  (For example, [::ns::set] might be called instead
	of the intended [::set]).  [Bug #119422, Patch #102545]

2000-12-09  jeff hobbs  <jhobbs@interwoven.com>

	* win/tclWinTime.c (CalibrationThread): added lint return value to
	prevent compiler warning.  [Bug #125005]

	* docs/scan.n:
	* tests/scan.test:
	* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd): changed %o and %x to use
	strtoul instead of strtol to correctly preserve scan<>format
	conversion of large integers.  [Patch #102663, Bug #124600]

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Commited patch fixing
	handling of {!<boolean>} in expressions. [Patch #102702]

2000-12-08  jeff hobbs  <jhobbs@interwoven.com>

	* library/init.tcl: Added support for PATHEXT variable in
	auto_execok, recognizing the proper set of executable extensions
	on Windows.  [Patch #102719]

2000-12-08  Andreas Kupries  <a.kupries@westend.com>

	* generic/tclEncoding.c (LoadTableEncoding): Changed dangerous
	  code to something less critical. This fixes bug 119417, part A
	  without affecting the speed when loading encodings.

2000-12-08  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/open.n: Added xref to fconfigure and advice on the opening
	  of binary files.  Should help prevent a recurrence of bugs like
	  #124558

2000-12-07  jeff hobbs  <jhobbs@interwoven.com>

	* generic/tcl.h: added note about need to updated
	library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl with minor version increment.

	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl: updated to use 84 version to reflect
	the makefile.  Should probably be updated to use its real version
	at some point. [Patch #102560, Bug #119421]

2000-12-06  eric melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* generic/tcl.h (attemptckalloc): Fixed typo for #define of
	attemptckalloc (was defined to Tcl_AttempDbCkalloc, should have
	been Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc). [Bug: 124384]

	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: Added
	TCL_MEM_DEBUG versions of Tcl_AttemptDbCkrealloc and
	Tcl_AttemptDbCkalloc. [Bug: 124384].

2000-11-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Logical negation "!"
	  can now handle string booleans, provided those values are placed
	  in variables.

	* tests/expr.test (expr-13.17): Check that [expr {!$var}] can
	  negate the string-versions of booleans "yes", "false", etc.

	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl (getMatchingFiles,
	  getMatchingDirectories):
	* tools/man2html.tcl (doDir): 
	* tools/man2help.tcl (doDir): 
	* library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown,tclMacPkgSearch): 
	* library/safe.tcl (AddSubDirs): [glob] uses -directory instead of
	  unsafe [file join] to fix Bug #123313

	* generic/tclIndexObj.c:
	* generic/tclTestObj.c (TestindexobjCmd): Changed internal
	  representation of index objects to fix Bug #119082; fix
	  shouldn't be visible to outside world...

	* generic/tclTest.c (TestGetIndexFromObjStructObjCmd): 
	* tests/indexObj.test: (indexObj-6.*) Added to test for presence
	  of Bug #119082.

2000-11-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Fixed memory leak from Bug
	  #119398

	* library/init.tcl (unknown): Added specific level parameters to
	  all uplevel invokations to boost performance; didn't dare touch
	  the "namespace inscope" stuff though, since it looks sensitive
	  to me!  Should fix Bug #123217, though testing is tricky...

2000-11-21  Andreas Kupries  <a.kupries@westend.com>

	* All of the changes below are described in TIP #7 ~ Specification
 	  and result from the application of the patch contained
 	  therein. Creator of the patch is Kevin Kenny
 	  <kennykb@crd.ge.com>. The patch used here is actually a bit
 	  different. Two MS specific constant values (format FOOui64) were
 	  replaced with a more portable formatting of the values and an
 	  additional cast to LONGLONG. My cross-compiling gcc was unable to
	  process the original form. The SF Id of the patch is 102459.

	* tclWinTime.c: Add to the static data a set of variables that
 	  manage the phase-locked techniques, including a
 	  ''CRITICAL_SECTION'' to guard them so that multi-threaded code
 	  is stable.

	* tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetSeconds'' to call ''TclpGetTime''
 	  and return the 'seconds' portion of the result.  This change is
 	  necessary to make sure that the two times are consistent near
 	  the rollover from one second to another.

	* tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetClicks'' to use TclpGetTime to
 	  determine the click count as a number of microseconds.

	* tclWinTime.c: Modify ''TclpGetTime'' to return the time as
 	  M*Q+B, where Q is the result of ''QueryPerformanceCounter'', and
 	  M and B are variables maintained by the phase-locked loop to
 	  keep the result as close as possible to the system clock.  The
 	  ''TclpGetTime'' call will also launch the phase-lock management
 	  in a separate thread the first time that it is invoked.  If the
 	  performance counter is unavailable, or if its frequency is not
 	  one of the two common 8254-compatible rates, then
 	  ''TclpGetTime'' will return the result of ''ftime'' as it does
 	  in Tcl 8.3.2.

	* tclWinTime.c: Add the clock calibration procedure.  The
 	  calibration is somewhat complex; to save space, the reader is
 	  referred to the reference implementation for the details of how
 	  the time base and frequency are maintained.

	* tclWinNotify.c: Modify ''Tcl_Sleep'' to test that the process
 	  has, in fact, slept for the requisite time by calling
 	  ''TclpGetTime'' and comparing with the desired time.  Otherwise,
 	  roundoff errors may cause the process to awaken early.

	* tclWinTest.c: Add a ''testwinclock'' command.  This command
 	  returns a four element list comprising the seconds and
 	  microseconds portions of the system clock and the seconds and
 	  microseconds portions of the Tcl clock.

	* winTime.test: Add to the test suite a test that makes sure that
 	  the Tcl clock stays within 1.1 ms of the system clock over the
 	  duration of the test.

2000-11-21  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/global.n: 
	* doc/upvar.n: 
	* doc/variable.n: Improved documentation to mention that variables
	  so created are listed in [info locals] and added a few more
	  cross-links between these commands.  Fixes bug #119387

2000-11-17  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tests/safe.test: (safe-4.3):
	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): Changed again.  Now passes all
	  the tests, though one needed modifying since it required the
	  wrong answer.  (Why on earth do we have inline modification of
	  argument strings?  This sort of thing is horrendous to debug and
	  doesn't work well in a multithreaded environment!)  Fixes bug
	  119192.

	* tests/var.test: (var-1.19) If my attempts to fix the problem
	  aren't right yet, my attempts to describe it look pretty good to
	  me...

2000-11-16  Andreas Kupries  <a.kupries@westend.com>

	* win/tclWinPort.h (line 69): Changed reference to winsock2.h into
 	  winsock.h. This was a leftover from a foray into using winsock
 	  version 2 (History lesson from Scott Redman and Jeff
 	  Hobbs). This code was no problem when compiling Tcl itself, but
 	  could trip extensions. Fixes bug 122568.

2000-11-15  jeff hobbs  <jeff.hobbs@acm.org>

	* unix/Makefile.in: removed bp.c references (hasn't existed in a
	  long time).  Corrected 'make dist' to make dist with unversioned
	  library directories (same as out of cvs), so make install works
	  correctly with either source tree.

2000-11-15  jeff hobbs  <jeff.hobbs@acm.org>

	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): reverted fix below as it broke
	  all other array unset error reporting.  Bug-119192 is still
	  open.

2000-11-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclVar.c (TclLookupVar): Changed references to part2 to
	  use elName instead in various error message generating spots, so
	  as to fix Bug-119192.

2000-11-03  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* win/.cvsignore: Removed 'configure' from the glob list now
	  that it's included.

2000-11-03  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

	8.4a2 RELEASE

	* unix/Makefile.in (install-libraries, dist): 
	* win/makefile.vc (install-libraries):
	* win/Makefile.in (install-libraries): updated to install
	unversioned library directories into versioned directories.

	* tools/tcl.wse.in: updated for unversioning of library dirs

	* unix/mkLinks: updated mkLinks with latest doc updates

	* doc/Tcl_Main.3: added docs for Tcl_SetMainLoop

	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* generic/tclDecls.h:
	* generic/tcl.decls: added Tcl_SetMainLoop proc that allows people
	to set a main loop that will run for tclsh.
	* generic/tcl.h: added Tcl_MainLoopProc typedef
	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_SetMainLoop, StdinProc, Prompt): new
	StdinProc and Prompt static procs and Tcl_SetMainLoop stubs proc.
	The first two handle a fileevent based prompt (taken from
	tkMain.c).  Tcl_SetMainLoop enables the interactive setting of a
	main loop procedure.  This enables Tk to be a loadable package.

2000-11-02  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* generic/tclEvent.c: tclLibraryPath Tcl_Obj didn't have a way
	to share its data among threads.  This caused Tcl_Init() to
	always fail in threads.  Added a way to pass the data around
	with a global char*.  [BUG: 5301]

2000-11-02  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

	* unix/configure:
	* unix/dltest/configure:
	* win/configure:
	* tools/configure: checked in configure scripts so people doing
	CVS checkouts aren't required to have autoconf.  Changes to
	configure.in in the future will require the corresponding
	configure script to also be re-autoconf'ed and checked in.

	* win/makefile.vc:
	* win/tcl.m4: makefile fixes for Win64 support

	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): minor cast
	changes.

2000-11-01  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

	* unix/tcl.m4: removed use of -lbsd and -ldl for AIX-5.

	* tests/subst.test: added tests for non-zero return code handling
	by subst.
	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_EvalEx): corrected handling of non-zero,
	non-error return code cases for subst. [BUG: 119829]

	* generic/tclVar.c (TclVarTraceExists): Corrected excessive mem
	use when info exists was called on a non-existent array element.
	[BUG: 119213, 119336]

2000-10-30  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* win/configure.in:
	* win/Makefile.in:
	* win/makefile.vc:
	* win/tcl.rc:
	* win/tclsh.rc: Added logic to derive filenames better in the resource
	scripts based on compile options.

2000-10-30  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: added default encoding map from
	"ja_JP.eucJP" to "euc-jp". (takahashi)

	* tests/clock.test: corrected clock-2.* test numbering

	* unix/configure.in (SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS): removed code that was
	commented out (it had been moved to tcl.m4's SC_TCL_LINK_LIBS
	already).

	* unix/tcl.m4: consolidated gettimeofday check for AIX.

2000-10-27  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tcl.m4: added support for AIX-5.

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_NotifyChannel): removed #ifdef around code
	for old channel structures, placed preserve/release around statePtr
	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): the statePtr for a channel was
	not being freed when the last channel in a stack was freed,
	causing a mem leak.

	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: updated channel types to strict
	TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_2 style to avoid compiler warnings.  They work
	either way, but this avoids compiler warnings (that worries people).

2000-10-27  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>

	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Removed a cd into the test
	directory in runAllTests that screwed up the temporary directory
	setting, effectively preventing users from running tests on
	multiple platforms at the same time.

2000-10-26  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchFilesTypes): NULL was being set to
	"attr" which was a DWORD.  Changed NULL to zero because a 'void *'
	can't be set to a DWORD to avoid the compiler warning.

2000-10-24  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>

	* tests/all.tcl: Removed support for tcltest 1.0.
	
	* tests/tcltest.test:
	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl:
	* library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl:
	* docs/tcltest.n: Moved tcltest2 code so that it's the standard
	version of tcltest.  Removed all tcltest2 files
	(tests/tcltest2.test, library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl,
	docs/tcltest2.n). 

2000-10-20  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchFilesTypes): made the stat call only
	occur when necessary (for 'glob' command).  Significantly speeds
	up glob command from 8.3. [BUG: 6216]

2000-10-19  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>

	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl:
	* tests/tcltest2
	* doc/tcltest2.n: Code and documentation cleanup.  Modified
	-verbose to take list of keywords as well as string of letters.
	Removed Tcl version information from tcltest. Removed
	tcltest::grep from tcltest package. Added optional 3rd directory
	argument to  makeFile/makeDirectory and removeFile/removeDirectory.

	* tests/basic.test: Changed references to tcltest::tclVersion to
	hardcoded numbers.
	* generic/tcl.h: Changed reference to tcltest2.tcl and tcltest.tcl
	in comments to tests/basic.test.

2000-10-06  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* win/tclWinChan.c: moved Win2K bug case test with GetStdHandle()
	from TclpGetDefaultStdChannel into Tcl_MakeFileChannel to enable
	a more general method in detecting invalid OS handles rather than
	just a specific known case. [BUG: 5971]

2000-10-06  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

	* tests/cmdAH.test: extra tests for 'file channels' that include
	multiple interpreter tests and channel sharing
	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetChannelNamesEx): corrected function (and
	consequently 'file channels') to return channels that are actually
	registered for this specific interp, rather than this thread.

	* doc/CrtChannel.3: fixed spelling mistakes

2000-09-29  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>

	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl:
	* tests/tcltest2.test:
	* doc/tcltest2.n: Modified the new form of the test command to
	accept both attribute-value pairs and command line options.
	Updated the tests and the documentation for this new format.
	Also changed the option names for the test command.

2000-09-29  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialGetOptionProc): corrected reporting of
	space parity on Windows (Eason) [Bug 6057].

	* win/Makefile.in: commented use of TESTFLAGS
	* unix/Makefile.in: added TESTFLAGS to test target to
	conform with Windows makefile and TEA style.

	* tests/stack.test: prevented possible crash on systems with low
	default stacksize (Tru64, AIX) in infinite recursion test.  A
	solution to check remaining stack space in the core is best, but
	hard to do in a cross-platform manner.

	* generic/tclIOGT.c (FLUSH_DELAY): renamed DELAY define to
	FLUSH_DELAY to avoid defn conflict using Tru64's cc.

2000-09-28  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

	* tools/tcl.wse.in: added tclPlatDecls.h and tkPlatDecls.h to the
	Windows .exe install.

	* tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-6.20): corrected test to remove
	c:/tcl8975@ after creating it.

	* tests/fileName.test: cleaned up the testing of glob patterns for
	c:/globTest (Windows) to directly create/remove directory.

2000-09-27  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@ajubasolutions.com>

	* generic/tcl.decls:
	* generic/tclIO.c: updated Tcl_IsChannelShared,
	Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel,
	Tcl_IsChannelExisting, and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers to conform to
	the new stacked channel implementation.  Their stub slots were
	also moved to give preference to the new 8.3.2 stub functions.
	This will cause an incompatability with 8.4a1 only.
	(StopCopy): fixed a bug introduced by a partial fix in 8.3.2 that
	didn't set nonBlocking correctly when resetting the flags for the
	write side.  [Bug: 6261]

	* doc/ChnlStack.3:
	* doc/CrtChannel.3:
	* generic/tcl.decls:
	* generic/tcl.h:
	* generic/tclDecls.h:
	* generic/tclIO.c:
	* generic/tclIO.h:
	* generic/tclIOGT.c:
	* generic/tclInt.decls:
	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

	* win/tclWinChan.c:
	* win/tclWinConsole.c:
	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
	* win/tclWinSerial.c:
	* win/tclWinSock.c: Up-port of changes made in 8.3.2 to 8.4a2 code
	base.  Most of these changes relate to the rewrite of the stacked
	channel implementation, with a few config related fixes.

	Following is an asynchronous include of the applicable ChangeLog
	entries from 8.3.2.

	********************************************************
	** START OF ASYNCHRONOUS UP-PORT LOG (8.3.2 -> 8.4a2) **
	********************************************************

2000-08-07  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* doc/ChnlStack.3:
	* doc/CrtChannel.3: updated the docs to be aware of the
	TCL_CHANNEL_VERSION_2 style of Tcl channels.

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CreateChannel): added assertion to verify
	that the new channel versioning will be binary compatible with
	older channel drivers.

2000-08-05  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclIOGT.c (TclChannelTransform): fixed segfault that
	would occur when transforming a channel with a proc that did not
	yet exist. (Kupries)

	* generic/tclTest.c (TestChannelCmd): added some lint init'ing of
	statePtr and chan vars.

2000-07-26  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* merged core-8-3-1-io-rewrite back into core-8-3-1-branch.
	The core-8-3-1-io-rewrite branch should now be considered defunct.

	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* generic/tclDecls.h:
	* generic/tcl.decls:
	* generic/tcl.h:
	* generic/tclIO.c: moved the Tcl_Channel* macros from tcl.h to
	tclIO.c and made them proper stubbed functions.  These are:
	Tcl_ChannelName, Tcl_ChannelVersion, Tcl_ChannelBlockModeProc,
	Tcl_ChannelCloseProc, Tcl_ChannelClose2Proc, Tcl_ChannelInputProc,
	Tcl_ChannelOutputProc, Tcl_ChannelSeekProc, Tcl_ChannelSetOptionProc,
	Tcl_ChannelGetOptionProc, Tcl_ChannelWatchProc,
	Tcl_ChannelGetHandleProc, Tcl_ChannelFlushProc,
	and Tcl_ChannelHandlerProc.  These should be used to access the
	Tcl_ChannelType structure instead of direct pointer dereferencing.

	* tests/iogt.test: added RCS string, marked tests 2.* to be
	unixOnly due to underlying system differences.

2000-07-25 Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>

	* tests/iogt.test: (line 866f) New tests iogt-6.[01], highlighting
 	  buffering trouble when stacking and unstacking transformations.
	  iogt-6.0 is solved, see the changes below. iogt-6.1 remains, for
 	  now, due to the perceived complexity of solutions.

	* generic/tclIO.h: (line 139f) struct Channel, added a buffer
	  queue, to hold data pushed back when stacking a transformation.

	* generic/tclIO.c:
	  (line 91f, line 7434f) New internal function 'CopyBuffer'.
	  Derived from 'CopyAndTranslateBuffer', with translation
	  removed.
	  (line 1025f, line 1212f): Initialization of new queue.
	  (line 1164f, Tcl_StackChannel): Pushback of input queue.
	  (line 1293f, Tcl_UnstackChannel): Discard input and pushback.
	  (line 3748f, Tcl_ReadRaw): Modified to use data in the push back
	  area before going to the driver. Uses 'CopyBuffer', s.a.
	  (line 4702f, GetInput): Modified to use data in the push back
	  area before going to the driver.
 	  (line 4867f, Tcl_Seek): Modified to take pushback of the topmost
	  channel in a stack into account.
	  (line 5620f, Tcl_InputBuffered): See above. Added
	  'Tcl_ChannelBuffered'. Analogue to 'Tcl_InputBuffered' but for
	  the buffer area in the channel.

	* generic/tcl.decls: New public API 'Tcl_ChannelBuffered'. S.a.

2000-07-17  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* unix/Makefile.in:
	* win/Makefile.in:
	* win/makefile.vc: added tclIOGT.c to objects list to compile.

	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
	* generic/tclInt.decls: commented out internal decls for
	TclTestChannelCmd and TclTestChannelEventCmd as they were moved to
	tclTest.c.  Added new decls for TclChannelEventScriptInvoker and
	TclChannelTransform.

	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): stopped masking out of the
	TCL_READABLE|TCL_WRITABLE bits from the state flags in
	CloseChannel, instead adding extra intelligence to
	CheckChannelErrors with a new CHANNEL_RAW_MODE bit for special
	behavior when called from Raw channel APIs.

2000-07-13  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (StackSetBlockMode): moved set of chanPtr
	outside of blockModeProc check to avoid infinite loop when
	blockModeProc was NULL (Kupries).  updated TransformSeekProc to
	not call Tcl_Seek directly (Kupries).

	* win/tclWinChan.c: updated fileChannelType to v2 channel struct
	* win/tclWinConsole.c: updated consoleChannelType to v2 channel struct
	* win/tclWinPipe.c: updated pipeChannelType to v2 channel struct
	* win/tclWinSerial.c: updated serialChannelType to v2 channel struct
	* win/tclWinSock.c: updated tcpChannelType to v2 channel struct

2000-07-11  Brent Welch	<welch@ajubasolutions.com>

	* win/tclConfig.sh.in (TCL_LIBS): Cleaned up unix-specific
	autoconf variables.

2000-07-11  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* tests/iogt.test: made tests [345].0 not run by default as they
	were failing in the new design, but I'm not convinced that the
	returned result isn't correct.

	* generic/tclDecls.h:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* generic/tcl.decls: added Tcl_GetTopChannel C API that returns
	the current top channel of a channel stack.  Tcl_GetChannel was
	changed earlier to return the bottommost channel of a stack
	because that is the one that is guaranteed to stay around the
	longest, and this was needed to compensate for certain
	operations that want to look at the state of the main channel.
	Most channel APIs already compensate for grabbing the top, so it
	shouldn't be needed often.

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_StackChannel, Tcl_UnstackChannel): Added
	flushing of buffers (Kupries), removed use of DownChannel macro,
	added Tcl_GetTopChannel public API to get to the top channel of
	the channel stack (necessary for TLS).  Rewrote Tcl_NotifyChannel
	for new channel design (Kupries).  Did some code cleanup in the
	transform code.  tclIO.c must still be broken into bits (separate
	out test code and giot code, create tclIO.h).

2000-07-10  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>

	* tests/iogt.test: Reverted some earlier changes as a fix by Jeff
	  revived the original and correct behaviour. IOW, the tests showed
	  a genuine error and I didn't see it :(.

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Read|Write_Raw): Changed to directly use
 	  the drivers and not DoRead|DoWrite. The latter use the buffering
 	  system, encoding and eol-translation and this wreaks havoc with
 	  the data going through the transformations. Both procedures use
 	  CheckForchannelErrors and let it believe that there is no
 	  background copy in progress or else stacked channels could not
	  be used for that.

	* generic/tclIO.c (TclCopyChannel, CopyData): Moved access to the
 	  topmost channel from the first to the second procedure to make
 	  the decision about that at the last possible time (Callbacks can
 	  change the stacking).

	test suite: failures of iogt-[345].0
	
2000-07-06  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* tests/iogt.test: new tests for stacked channel stuff based off
	new 'testchannel transform|unstack' code (Kupries IOGT extension).
	* generic/tcl.decls:
	* generic/tcl.h:
	* generic/tclDecls.h:
	* generic/tclStubsInit.c:
	* generic/tclIO.c: complete rewrite of Tcl Channel code for
	stacked channels.  Channels are now designed to work in a more
	stacked fashion with a shared ChannelState data structure.

2000-06-02  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): removed the &ing out of
	(TCL_READABLE|TCL_WRITABLE) from the flags, as CloseChannel does
	this on the next pass through for the top channel, and it appeared
	to be causing hangs by not allowing the final flush.

2000-06-01  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (CloseChannel): Rewrote CloseChannel code to
	unstack a channel during the close process.  Fixed a refcount bug
	in Tcl_UnstackChannel.  [Bug: 5623]
	(CloseChannel): further extended CloseChannel in the stacked case
	to effect certain operations on the next channel that would have
	been done in Tcl_Close.  Also added CHANNEL_CLOSED and removed
	(TCL_READABLE|TCL_WRITABLE) bits from chanPtr->flags.  Changed
	final reset of the WatchProc to check the chanDownPtr's (next)
	interestMask.

	******************************************************
	** END OF ASYNCHRONOUS UP-PORT LOG (8.3.2 -> 8.4a2) **
	******************************************************

2000-09-20  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* tests/socket.test: removed doTestsWithRemoteServer constraint
	from socket-12.*.  It requires 'exec', not a remote server.
	Cleaned up some coding errors.

2000-09-20  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@ajubasolutions.com>

	* library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: Updated to load tcltest 2.0.
	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest2.tcl: New version of tcltest.  
	Cleanup of command line parsing: allows users to specify command
	line arguments through an environment variable named
	TCLTEST_OPTIONS [RFE: 3748], does not respond to incorrect
	arguments, and forces usage of entire flag name when using command
	line arguments.  Defines accessor procs for all tcltest
	variables.  Allows users to use 'return' in test scripts. Allow
	users to specify whether test files should be sourced or run in a
	separate process.  'all.tcl' code moved to tcltest package.
	'test' proc modified to use attribute-value pairs.  Allow users to
	specify what return codes, output, and errors can be compared and
	whether these values should be compared using regexp, glob, or
	exact matching.  makeDirectory & removeDirectory now operate with
	respect to temporaryDirectory [Bug: 6001].  Test results from
	tests run in slave interpreters are now included in test totals
	[Bug: 1493].  Test files that return error values are now reported.
	
	* tests/all.tcl: Added code to check for the tcltest version
	loaded; modified to figure out which tests to run based on the
	tcltest version loaded.
	* tests/tcltest.test: Modified to explicitly load version 1.0 of
	tcltest.
	* tests/tcltest2.test: New test suite for tcltest; includes all of
	the old tests plus new ones reflecting changes made for version
	2.0.
	* tests/cmdAH.test: Added singleTestInterp constraint to
	cmdAH-31.2; this test does not run if tests aren't sourced into a
	single interpreter.
	* tests/socket.test: Fixed two tests that were referencing
	variables outside of scope.
	
	* tools/tcl.wse.in: Added code to install tcltest2.tcl.

	* doc/tcltest2.n: New documentation for tcltest version 2.0.
	Removes documentation for tcltest namespace variables.  Adds
	documentation for new tcltest procs.

	* unix/mkLinks: Added code to link to tcltest2.n.

	* generic/tcl.h: Added comment to modify tcltest2.tcl as well as
	tcltest.tcl for version changes.

2000-09-19  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): When using -all, all
	attempts after the first to match the regexp against the string
	should include the TCL_REG_NOTBOL flag, to avoid erroneously
	matching ^ in the middle of the string.  Added code to set this
	flag after the first pass through the matching loop. [Bug: 6284].

2000-09-19  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* doc/Eval.3:  Added a note about the script argument to Tcl_Eval()
	should be in UTF-8 or risk implied conversion errors when possible
	combinations of upper ascii can be valid UTF-8 special codes.

2000-09-17  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* tests/cmdIL.test: Added a test for fix for [Bug: 6212].

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): Applied patch from [Bug:
	6212], which corrected an error in the handling of the -index option.

2000-09-14  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* doc/Alloc.3: Added entries for Tcl_AttemptAlloc, Tcl_AttempRealloc.

	* doc/StringObj.3: Added entry for Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength.
	
	* generic/tclDecls.h:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regen'ed stubs files from new tcl.decls.

	* generic/tcl.decls: Added stubs for the Tcl_Attempt* memory
	allocators and for Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength.

	* generic/tcl.h: Added #define's for attemptckalloc,
	attemptckrealloc, which map to the Tcl_Attempt* memory allocators.

	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: Added non-panic'ing versions of Tcl_Alloc,
	Tcl_Realloc, etc.; these are called Tcl_AttemptAlloc,
	Tcl_AttemptRealloc, etc.  These are used by
	Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength and the string obj append functions.

	* generic/tclStringObj.c: Modified string growth algorithm to use
	doubling algorithm as long as possible, and only fall back when
	that fails.  Added Tcl_AttemptSetObjLength, and modified
	AppendUnicodeToUnicodeRep, AppendUtfToUtfRep, and
	Tcl_AppendStringsToObjVA to support this.

2000-09-07  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* win/.cvsignore: changed the glob patterns a bit to exclude VC++
	project conversion backups.

	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Stage-1 bug fix for TR#2460 "exec leaks memory".
	Added more logic around the close-down of the pipe reader thread so
	as to avoid, at all cost, a TerminateThread.  Most cases with exec
	are fixed, but I don't consider 2460 done yet.  Closing down the
	read side of a pipe before the child process, doesn't really fit
	the windows model.  [BUG: 2460]

2000-09-07  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* doc/trace.n: minor doc cleanup

2000-09-06  André Pönitz <poenitz@htwm.de>

	* doc/*.n: added or changed "SEE ALSO:" section

2000-09-06  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* win/tclWinLoad.c (TclpLoadFile): added special message for
	ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND exception in loading a dll.
	* win/tclWinError.c: changed ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND to map from
	ESRCH (POSIX: no such process) to EINVAL because there is no good
	mapping for "procedure not found".

	* README:
	* generic/tcl.h:
	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl:
	* tools/tcl.wse.in: 
	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl:

	* win/configure.in: updated patchlevel to 8.4a2

	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): Removed WNOHANG from
	Tcl_WaitPid call in error case of process creation on Unix, as it
	would lead to defunct processes. [Bug: 6148]

	* tests/string.test: extended string repeat tests
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): changed STR_REPEAT to
	preallocate the full space of the final string, avoided repeated
	appends.

	* doc/source.n:
	* doc/Eval.3: added extra note about how to safe use ^Z in code,
	as it is now a cross-platform (was just Windows) EOF char.

2000-09-05  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclHash.c: fixed pedantic warning of incorrectly placed
	#endif

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): INST_STR_INDEX fixed
	pedantic cast warning.
	Corrected support for building with -DTCL_COMPILE_STATS.
	Added efficiency check of object equality.

2000-08-29  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c: Applied patch from Gerhard Hintermayer
	to provide a more conservative string growth algorithm for strings
	larger than one megabyte; this allows more efficient use of memory
	for very large strings.

2000-08-25  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* tests/trace.test: Extended array tracing tests.

	* doc/trace.n: Clarified information about when array traces will
	be fired.

	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): Corrected call to CallTraces
	(for TCL_TRACE_ARRAY) to only be called when the variable is
	either an array or is undefined, to ensure that array traces do
	not fire for scalar variables.

2000-08-24  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>
	
	* doc/man.macros: Tweaked tab settings for .SO (Standard Options) 
	sections, based on suggestion from Peter Spjuth.

	* win/README: Add note about building with Cygwin.
	* win/configure.in: 
	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_GCC): Remove --enable-gcc option.
	Remove quick hack that provided cross compile support for
	windows builds.

2000-08-24  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	Overall change:  Added support for command rename/delete traces
	and new trace syntax, from patch from Vince Darley.  Added support
	for array traces for variables.  [RFE: 5048, 5967].

	* doc/trace.n: Updated documentation for new syntax; flagged old
	syntax as deprecated; added documentation for command
	rename/delete traces and variable array traces.

	* tests/trace.test: Updated tests for new trace syntax; new tests
	for command rename/delete traces; new tests for array traces.

	* generic/tclVar.c: Support for new trace syntax; support for
	TCL_TRACE_ARRAY.

	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* generic/tclDecls.h:
	* generic/tcl.decls: Stub functions for command rename/delete traces.

	* generic/tcl.h: 
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclBasic.c: Support for command traces.

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclTraceVariableObjCmd): Patched to support
	new [trace] syntax:  
	trace {add|remove|list} {variable|command} name ops command
	Added support for command traces (rename, delete operations).
	Added support for TCL_TRACE_ARRAY at Tcl level (array operation
	for variable traces).
	
2000-08-20  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* generic/tclVar.c: Added check for non-arrays for [array statistics]
	command (patch from Mark Patton).

2000-08-19  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h: without a previous '#include <windows.h>',
	tclPlatDecls.h can't be parsed due to a missing definition of TCHAR.
	Added a check to include it when not defined.

	***POSSIBLE OBSCURE BUG*** could be caused when the compile flags
	for the core happen to be different than a project who uses these
	publics regarding -D_MBCS and -D_UNICODE.  This added check might
	have to be revisited later with a better understanding of the
	reprocusions.  I think TCHAR should be replaced with it's expansion.

2000-08-18  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* win/.cvsignore (added): provides a cleaner build environment with
	graphical CVS clients.

2000-08-15  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Set debug level in
	tcltest::restoreState to 2, for consistancy with the debug level
	in tcltest::saveState [Bug: 4505].

2000-08-14  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* win/makefile.vc: 
	* win/Makefile.in: 
	* unix/Makefile.in: Added tclPlatDecls.h to the list of installed
	headers, for more complete stubs support. [Bug: 5241].

	* generic/tcl.h: Added #include "tclPlatDecls.h" to get
	platform-specific stubs declarations (Tcl_WinTCharToUtf, etc)
	[Bug: 5241].

	* README: Updated link for instructions on compiling Tcl from
	sources to point to correct location
	(http://dev.scriptics.com/doc/... instead of
	http://dev.scriptics.com/support/...).

2000-08-11  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* generic/tclEnv.c (TclUnsetEnv): Changed declaration of length
	variable from "unsigned int" to "int", to match usage when passed
	to TclpFindVariable [Bug: 6126].

2000-08-10  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* library/msgcat1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: Bumped version number to 1.2
	[Bug: 6100].

	* library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: Removed erroneous [package forget]
	in msgcat namespace initializer.  Bumped version number to 1.2
	[Bug: 6100].

2000-08-10  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* generic/tclObj.c: r1.15 accidentally changed a global mutex
	name tclObjMutex to ObjMutex.  Put the correct name back.

2000-08-07  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* tests/indexObj.test: Added tests using the [testwrongnumargs]
	command to test Tcl_WrongNumArgs.

	* generic/tclTest.c (TestWrongNumArgsObjCmd): Added test function
	for the Tcl_WrongNumArgs function.

	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_WrongNumArgs): Corrected algorithm to
	not insert a space before the message component when objc == 0
	[Bug: 6078].

2000-07-27  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

	* win/configure.in: TCL_STUB_LIB_FLAG should not
	include ${TCL_DBGX} in win/tclConfig.sh, fix that.

	notifier alerting on all platforms as it was only working on Win
	before.  Removed older Win hacks that would end-up waking the
	wrong notifier in the presence of a threaded build.  All tests
	pass as before.  New test cases will be added soon for the new
	behavior.  [BUG: 5791]

2000-07-25  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* generic/tclVar.c (CallTraces): Added check for VAR_TRACE_ACTIVE
	on the array containing the variable before executing traces on
	that array, to conform with normal variable traces and the
	documentation, which states that while executing a trace, other
	traces on that variable are disabled. [Bug: 6049].

	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Added Tcl_DStringFree call
	to prevent potential memory leaks [Bug: 6041].

2000-07-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

	* win/configure.in: Define ${prefix} and ${exec_prefix} like
	unix/configure.in.  Fix or add TCL_SRC_DIR, TCL_STUB_LIB_FILE,
	TCL_STUB_LIB_FLAG, TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_SPEC, TCL_STUB_LIB_SPEC,

	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Added tests for pkg_compareExtension.

	* library/package.tcl: Enhanced pkg_compareExtension to handle
	Unixes which tack the version number on to the end of library
	names (eg, foo.so.1.2); such filenames will be correctly matched.
	(Patch from Vince Darley).

	* win/makefile.vc: Applied patch from Don Porter to provide better
	nmake support for NT/Alpha [RFE: 5938].

2000-07-18  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tcl.m4:
	* win/tcl.m4: Properly quote arguments to m4 macros. This allows
	Tcl to work with the new version of autoconf.

2000-07-18  Eric Melski  <ericm@ajubasolutions.com>

	* tests/opt.test: Removed references to Lfirst, Lrest functions.

	* library/opt0.4/optparse.tcl: Applied patch from Chris Nelson,
	which replaces the [Lfirst] function with an inline [lindex ... 0]
	and [Lrest] with [lrange ... 1 end], for better performance. 
	[RFE: 6019]
	

2000-07-18  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* compat/string.h: Fixed function prototypes for strpbrk and
	strtok [Bug: 6020].

2000-07-17  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@ajubasolutions.com>

	* win/tclWinChan.c: Win2K OS bug with
	GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE)	giving the wrong answer.  This
	made TclpGetDefaultStdChannel grab what it thought was a valid
	native stdout handle.  Added a new WriteFile() test to	make sure
	it's really valid.  This OS bug doesn't affect the shells.  Only
	-subsystem:windows (aka WinMain) application that dynamically
	load tclXX.dll [BUG: 5971]

2000-07-17  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* library/msgcat1.0/msgcat.tcl: 
	* doc/msgcat.n: 
	* tests/msgcat.test: Applied patches from Chris Nelson, to provide
	the mcmset function, which allows the translator to set multiple
	string translations in a single function call, rather than
	requiring many calls to mcset. [RFE: 6000, 5993].  In addition,
	these patches correct mcload to use utf-8 encoding on when reading
	message catalog files, and provides for better default behavior
	for determining the locale on a Windows system.

2000-07-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@redhat.com>

	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_GCC): Don't set CC=gcc

	* tests/set-old.test:
	* doc/unset.n:
	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UnsetObjCmd): added -nocomplain and --
	options to unset, to allow for a silent unset operation.

2000-05-31  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_ArrayObjCmd): Added support for regexp and
	exact matching for [array names] command. [RFE: 3684].

	* doc/array.n: Added documentation for [array names
	-exact/-regexp/-glob] [RFE: 3684].

	-exact/-regexp/-glob] [RFE: 3684].

2000-06-06  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	8.4a1 RELEASE

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode INST_STR_CMP): added
	test of iResult return from memcmp, as memcmp isn't required to
	return only -1,0,1.

2000-06-03  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): Corrected
	caching of the index ptr to account for offsets != sizeof(char *).
	[Bug: 5153]

2000-05-29  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

	* tests/http.test
	* doc/http.n
	* library/http2.3/http.tcl: Fixed bug 5741, where unsuccessful
	geturl calls sometimes leaked memory and resources (sockets).  
	Also, switched around some of the logic so that http::wait never 
	throws an exception.  This is because in an asynchronous geturl, 
	the command callback will probably end up doing all the error 
	handling anyway, and in an asynchronous situation, the user
	expects to check the state when the transaction completes, as
	opposed to being thrown an exception.	For the http package, this
	menas the user can check http::status for "error" and http::error
	for the error message after doing the http::wait.

2000-05-27  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* tests/info.test:
	* doc/info.n:
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_EvalFile):
	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoScriptCmd): added ability to set the
	info script return value [info script ?newFileName?].  This will
	be beneficial for virtual file system programs. [Bug: 4225]

2000-05-26  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegsubObjCmd): reworked to operate in
	Unicode, tweaked for performance.
	(Tcl_StringObjCmd) changed STR_FIRST/STR_LAST error message to
	something more understandable, reworked STR_FIRST, STR_LAST,
	STR_MAP, STR_MATCH, STR_RANGE, STR_REPLACE to operate in Unicode.
	Removed inneffectual STR_RANGE "special" ByteArray support.
	Optimized STR_MAP algorithm, especially optimized for one-pair case.
	Fixed possible mem overrun in STR_INDEX bytearray case.
	
	* generic/tclCompExpr.c: changed INST_STREQ -> INST_STR_EQ,
	INST_STRNEQ -> INST_STR_NEQ
	* generic/tclCompile.c: added streq, strneq, strcmp, strlen &
	strmatch to the compiled stats instructionTable
	* generic/tclCompile.h: added instructions INST_STR_CMP,
	INST_STR_INDEX, INST_STR_MATCH
	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: added byte compiler support for
	[string compare|match|index].
	* generic/tclExecute.c:
	Changed INST_STR_(N)EQ to return an Int object and not bother
	trying to reuse the top stack object.
	Added INST_STR_CMP, INST_STR_INDEX, INST_STR_MATCH bytecode ops.
	Extended evalstats output info with Tcl_IsShared stat info.

	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_DbIsShared): added support for checking
	result of Tcl_IsShared in evalstats (TCL_COMPILE_STATS).

	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_AppendUnicodeToObj): removed dead code.
	(AppendUnicodeToUnicodeRep) removed overallocation by extra
	sizeof(Tcl_UniChar) multiplier.

	* tests/string.test: added string map tests for the one-pair case,
	corrected tests to reflect improved error messages in first/last.
	Added tests against mem overrun in string index bytearray case.

	* generic/tclInt.h: Added function prototypes for
	TclCompileStringCmd and TclCompileReturnCmd.

	* generic/tclCompile.h: Added definition of INST_STRLEN opcode and
	updated LAST_INST_OPCODE value.

	* generic/tclBasic.c: Added information about TclCompileStringCmd
	and TclCompileReturnCmd to BuiltInCmds table.

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): Added support for the
	INST_STRLEN opcode.

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c 
	(TclCompileStringCmd): Basic implementation of byte-compiled
	[string] command.  Not all subcommands are implemented; those
	that are not an out-line compiled.

	(TclCompileReturnCmd): Byte-compiled implementation of [return]
	command.  Only "simple" returns are byte-compiled; in particular,
	if the -code, -errorinfo or -errorcode flags are used, the command
	is not byte-compiled.

	* tests/clock.test: Added test for "2 days 2 hours ago" style
	specifications.

	* generic/tclDate.c: Regenerated from tclGetDate.y.

	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Tweaked grammar to properly handle the
	"ago" keyword when it follows multiple relative unit specifiers,
	as in "2 days 2 hours ago".  [Bug: 5497].

2000-05-18  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* win/{tcl.m4,Makefile.in,configure.in}: added support for mingw

	(Tcl_LreplaceObjCmd): moved Tcl_DuplicateObj call lower and
	cleaned	up use of other arguments.

	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_DuplicateObj): simplified code to call
	TclInitStringRep, which the code was just duplicating in part.

	* doc/Utf.3:

2000-05-02  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>

	* Overall changes:
	  (1) Implementation of joinable threads for all platforms.
	  (2) Additional API's for channels. Required to allow the
	  thread extension to move channels between threads.

	* generic/tcl.decls (lines 1360f): Added Tcl_JoinThread,
	  Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_IsChannelRegistered, Tcl_CutChannel,
	  Tcl_SpliceChannel, Tcl_IsChannelExisting and
	  Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers (slots 394 to 400).

	* generic/tclIO.c: Implemented Tcl_IsChannelRegistered,
 	  Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel,
 	  Tcl_IsChannelExisting and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers.
	  Tcl_CutChannel uses code from CloseChannel. Replaced this code
 	  by a call to Tcl_CutChannel.  Replaced several code fragments
 	  adding channels to the channel list with calls to
 	  Tcl_SpliceChannel. Removed now unused variables from
 	  CloseChannel and Tcl_UnstackChannel.  Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers
 	  uses code from Tcl_Close. Replaced this code by a call to
 	  Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers. Removed now unused variables from
 	  Tcl_Close. Added the subcommands 'cut', 'forgetch', 'splice' and
 	  'isshared' to the test code
	  (TclTestChannelCmd).

	* unix/tclUnixThread.c: Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using the
	  pthread-functionality.

	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Fixed several small typos in comments.
	  Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using a platform independent
	  emulation layer (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c below). Added
	  'joinLock' to serialize Tcl_CreateThread and TclpExitThread to
	  prevent a race for joinable threads.

	* mac/tclMacThrd.c: Implemented Tcl_JoinThread using a platform
	  independent emulation layer (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c
	  below). Due to the cooperative nature of threading on this
	  platform the race mentioned above is not present.

	* generic/tclThreadJoin.c: New file. Contains a platform
	  independent emulation layer helping in the implementation of
	  joinable threads for the win and mac platforms.

	* generic/tclInt.h: Added declarations for TclJoinThread,
	  TclRememberJoinableThread and TclSignalExitThread. These
	  procedures define the API of the emulation layer for joinable
	  threads (see generic/tclThreadJoin.c above).

	* win/Makefile.in:
	* win/makefile.vc: Added generic/tclTheadJoin.o to the rules.

	* mac/: I don't know to which file generic/tclTheadJoin.o has to
	  be added to so that it compiles. Sorry.

	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: #ifdef'd the thread-local list of file
 	  channels as it prevents us from transfering channels. To restore
 	  this we may need an extended interface to drivers in the
 	  future. Target: 9.0. Found while testing the new transfer of
 	  channels. The information in this list for a channel was left
 	  behind and then crashed the system during finalization.

	* generic/tclThreadTest.c: Added -joinable flag to 'testthread
	  create'. Added subcommand 'testthread join'.

	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Added documentation for Tcl_IsChannelRegistered,
 	  Tcl_IsChannelShared, Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel,
	  Tcl_IsChannelExisting and Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers.

	* doc/Thread.3: Added documentation for Tcl_JoinThread.

	* tests/thread.test: Added tests for joining of threads.

2000-04-27  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* doc/library.n: Added entries for auto_qualify and auto_import
	[Bug: 1271].

	functions that expr supports [Bug: 1054].

2000-04-26  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* doc/memory.n: Man page for Tcl "memory" command, which is
	created when TCL_MEM_DEBUG is defined at compile time.

	* doc/TCL_MEM_DEBUG.3: Man page with overall information about
	TCL_MEM_DEBUG usage.

	* doc/DumpActiveMemory.3: Man page for Tcl_DumpActiveMemory,
	Tcl_InitMemory, and Tcl_ValidateAllMemory [Bug: 1816, 1835].

	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: Fixed some function headers.

	* unix/mkLinks: Regen'd with new mkLinks.tcl.

	* unix/mkLinks.tcl: Fixed indentation, made link setup more
	intelligent (only do one existance test per man page, instead of
	one per function).

	* doc/library.n: Fixed .SH NAME macro to include each function
	documented on the page, so that mkLinks will know about the
	functions listed there, and so that the Windows help file index
	will get set up correctly [Bug: 1898, 5273].

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_FinalizeNotifier, NotifierThreadProc):
	added write of 'q' into triggerPipe for notifier in threaded case,
	so that Tcl doesn't hang when children are still running [Bug: 4139]

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_MutexLock): minor comment fixes.

2000-04-23  Jim Ingham  <jingham@cygnus.com>

	These changes make some error handling marginally better for Mac
	sockets.  It is still somewhat flakey, however.

	* mac/tclMacSock.c (TcpClose): Add timeouts to the close - these
	don't seem to be honored, however.
	Use a separate PB for the release, since an async connect socket
	will still be using the original buffer.
	Make sure TCPRelease returns noErr before freeing the recvBuff.
	If the call returns an error, then the buffer is not right.
	* mac/tclMacSock.c (CreateSocket): Add timeouts to the async
	create. These don't seem to trigger, however.  Sigh...
	* mac/tclMacSock.c (WaitForSocketEvent): If an TCP_ASYNC_CONNECT
	socket errors out, then return EWOULDBLOCK & error out.
	* mac/tclMacSock.c (NotifyRoutine): Added a NotifyRoutine for
	experimenting with MacTCP.

2000-04-22  Jim Ingham <jingham@cygnus.com>

	* library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown): Fixed a typo in the Mac package
	search part of tclPkgUnknown.

2000-04-21  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed a newly introduced bug where if
	there's a -command callback and something goes wrong, geturl threw
	an exception, called the callback, and unset the token.  I changed
	it so that it will not call the callback when throwing an
	exception (so the caller only finds out about a given error from
	one place).  Also, fixed http::ncode so that it actually gives you
	back the http return code (i.e. 200, 404, etc.) instead of the
	first digit of the version of HTTP being used (i.e. 1).

2000-04-21  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: More thrashing with the "server closes
	without reading post data" scenario.  Reverted to the previous
	filevent configuratiuon, which seems to work better with small
	amounts of post data.  

2000-04-20  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclAlloc.c: wrapped caddr_t define to not be done on Unix
	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: added Tclp*Alloc defines to allow the use of
	USE_TCLALLOC on Unix. [Bug: 4731]

	* library/dde1.1/pkgIndex.tcl:
	* library/reg1.0/pkgIndex.tcl:
	* win/tclWinChan.c:
	* win/tclWinThrd.c: converted CRLF to LF the */tcl.hpj.in files

	* win/Makefile.in: expanded cleanup target for help files

	* doc/Thread.3: minor macro cleanup

	* generic/tclFileName.c (SplitUnixPath): added support for QNX

2000-04-11  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Added "CONST" keyword to declaration of char
	*native in TclpCreateTempFile, to supress compiler warnings.

2000-04-10  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tcl.h: Fixed Tcl_CreateThread declaration.

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Fixed compiler warning when compiling
	with -DTCL_THREADS

2000-04-10  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): Added conversion of
	contents string from UTF to native encoding [Bug: 4030].

	* tests/regexp.test: Added tests for infinite looping in [regexp
	-all].
	
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Fixed infinite loop bug with [regexp -all]
	[Bug: 4981].

	* tests/*.test: Changed all occurances of "namespace import
	::tcltest" to "namespace import -force ::tcltest" [Bug: 3948].

2000-04-09  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>

	* lib/httpd2.1/http.tcl: Worked on the "server closes before
	reading post data" case, which unfortunately causes different
	error cases on Solaris, which can read the reply, and Linux
	and Windows, which cannot read anything.  This is all in the
	loop-back case - client and server on the same host.  Also
	unified the error handling so the "ioerror" status goes away
	and errors are reflected in a more uniform way. Updated the
	man page to document the behavior.

2000-04-09  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* tests/reg.test (matchexpected): corrected tests to use tcltest
	constraint types to skip certain tests.

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_SetCommandInfo): comment fix

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread): moved TCL_THREADS ifdef
	inside of func as it is declared for non-threads builds as well.
	In the non-threads case, it always returns TCL_ERROR (couldn't
	create thread).

2000-04-08  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>

	* Overall change: Definition of a public API for the creation of
	  new threads.

	* generic/tclInt.h (line 1802f): Removed the definition of
	'TclpThreadCreate'. (line 793f) Removed the definition of
	'Tcl_ThreadCreateProc'.

	* generic/tcl.h (line 388f): Readded the definition of
	  'Tcl_ThreadCreateProc'. Added Win32 stuff send in by David
	  Graveraux <davygrvy@bigfoot.com> to that too (__stdcall,
	  ...). Added macros for the default stacksize and allowed flags.

	* generic/tcl.decls (line 1356f): Added definition of
	  'Tcl_CreateThread', slot 393 of the stub table. Two new
	  arguments in the public API, for stacksize and flags.

	* win/tclWinThrd.c:
	* mac/tclMacThrd.c: Renamed TclpThreadCreate to Tcl_CreateThread,
	  added handling of the stacksize. Flags are currently ignored.

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: See above, but handles joinable
	  flag. Ignores the specified stacksize if the macro
	  HAVE_PTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE is not defined.

	* generic/tclThreadTest.c (line 363): See below.

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (line 210): Adapted to the changes
	  above. Uses default stacksize and no flags now.

	* unic/tcl.m4 (line 382f): Added a check for
	  'pthread_attr_setstacksize' to detect platforms not implementing
	  this feature of pthreads. If it is implemented, configure will
	  define the macro HAVE_PTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE (See
	  unix/tclUnixThrd.c too).

	* doc/Thread.3: Added Tcl_CreateThread and its arguments to the
	  list of described functions. Removed stuff about not providing a
	  public C-API for thread-creation.

2000-04-07  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* doc/binary.n: clarified docs on sign extension in binary scan
	[Bug: 3466]

	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl (initConstraints): removed win32s
	references (no longer supported)

	* tests/fCmd.test: marked test 8.1 knownBug because it is
	dangerous on poorly configured systems [Bug: 3881]
	and added 8.2 to keep essence of 8.1 tested.

2000-04-05  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_UnstackChannel, line 1831): Forcing
	interest mask to the correct value after an unstack and
	re-initialization of the notifier via the watchProc. Without this
	the first fileevent after an unstack will come through and be
	processed, but no more. [Bug: ??].

2000-03-04  Brent Welch  <welch@scriptics.com>

	* {win,unix}/Makefile.in: added dependency of tclStubInit.c on
	tcl.decls and tclInt.decls
	* generic/tclThread.c: Tweak so this compiles w/out TCL_THREADS
	* generic/{tcl.decls,tclStubInit.c}:  Just touched the tcl.decls and
	regenerated the tclStubInit.c file

2000-03-29  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: For the -querychannel option,
	fconfigure the socket to be binary so that we don't translate
	anything while reading the data.  This is because we determine the
	content length of the data on the channel by using seek (to the end
	of the file) and tell on the file handle, and we need the
	content-length to match the amount of data actually sent, and
	translation can affect the number of bytes posted.

2000-04-03  Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com>

	* Overall change: Definition of public API's for the finalization
	of conditions and mutexes. [Bug: 4199].

	* generic/tclInt.h: Removed definitions of TclFinalizeMutex and
	TclFinalizeCondition.

	* generic/tcl.decls: Added declarations of Tcl_MutexFinalize and
	Tcl_ConditionFinalize.

	* generic/tclThread.c: Renamed TclFinalizeMutex to
	Tcl_MutexFinalize. Renamed TclFinalizeCondition to
	Tcl_ConditionFinalize.

	* generic/tclNotify.c: Changed usage of TclFinalizeMutex to
	Tcl_MutexFinalize.

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: 
	* generic/tclThreadTest.c: Changed usages of TclFinalizeCondition to
	Tcl_ConditionFinalize.

	* generic/tcl.h: Added empty macros for Tcl_MutexFinalize and
	Tcl_ConditionFinalize, to be used when the core is compiled
	without threads. 

	* doc/Thread.3:	Added description the new API's.

2000-04-03  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoVarsCmd): checked for non-NULL procPtr
	to prevent itcl info override crash [Bug: 4064]

	* tests/foreach.test:
	* tests/namespace.test:
	* tests/var.test: Added lsorts to avoid random sorted return
	problems. [Bug: 2682]

	* tests/fileName.test: fixed 14.1 test fragility [Bug: 1482]

	* tools/man2help2.tcl: fixed winhelp cross-linking error [Bug: 4156]
	improved translation to winhelp [Bug: 3679]

	* unix/Makefile.in (MAN_INSTALL_DIR): patch to accept --mandir
	correctly [Bug: 4085]

	* unix/dltest/pkg[a-e].c: Cleaned up test packages [Bug: 2293]

2000-04-03  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (SetGroupAttribute): 
	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (SetOwnerAttribute): Added (uid_t) and (gid_t) 
	casts to avoid compiler warnings.

2000-03-31  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclGet.c (Tcl_GetDouble): Added additional conditions to
	error test (previously only errno was checked, but the return
	value of strtod() should be checked as well).  [Bug: 4118].

	* tests/exec.test: Added test for proper conversion of UTF data
	when used with "<< $dataWithUTF" on exec's.

	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateTempFile): Added
	Tcl_UtfToExternalDString call, so that if there is UTF content in
	the string it will be properly converted to the system encoding
	before being written [Bug: 4030].
	(TclpCreateTempFile): Added a check on the return value of tmpnam;
	some systems (Linux, for example) will start to return NULL after
	tmpnam has been called TMP_MAX times; not checking for this can
	have bad results (overwriting temp files, core dumps, etc.)

2000-03-30  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken): Added comments
	noting the need to pair ckalloc with ckfree. [Bug: 4262]

	* generic/tclInt.decls:
	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: removed TclWinSynchSpawn (vestige of Win32s
	support).

	* win/tclWinReg.c: made use of TclWinGetPlatformId instead of
	getting info again

	* win/tclWinPort.h:
	* win/Makefile.in:
	* win/configure.in:
	* win/tcl.m4: Added support for gcc/mingw on Windows [Bug: 4234]

2000-03-29  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCleanupByteCode): made ByteCode cleanup
	more aware of TCL_BYTECODE_PRECOMPILED flagged structs (gen'd by
	tbcload), to correctly clean them up.

	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): moved check for empty format
	earlier, commented 0 result return value

2000-03-29  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Removed an unnecessary fileevent
	statement from the error processing part of the Write method.
	Also, fixed two potential memory leaks in wait and reset, in which
	the state array wasn't being unset before throwing an exception.
	Prior to this version, Brent checked in a fix to catch a
	fileevent statement that was sometimes causing a stack trace when
	geturl was called with -timeout.  I believe Brent's fix is
	necessary because TLS closes bad sockets for secure connections,
	and the fileevent was trying to act on a socket that no longer
	existed.

2000-03-27  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* tests/httpd: removed unnecessary 'puts stderr "Post Dispatch"'

	* tests/namespace.test:
	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_Export): added a uniq'ing test to the
	export list so only one instance of each export pattern would
	exist in the list.

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): optimized case for
	the empty string in ==/!= comparisons

2000-03-27  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: Added (off_t) type casts in lseek() call
	[Bug: 4409].

	* unix/tclLoadAout.c: 
	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c: Added (off_t) type casts in lseek() calls
	[Bug: 4410].

2000-03-22  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed a bug where string query data
	that was bigger than queryblocksize would get duplicate characters
	at block boundaries.

2000-03-22  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed bug 4463, where we were getting
	a stack trace if we tried to publish a project to a good host but
	a port where there was no server listening.  It turned out the
	problem was a stray fileevent that needed to be cleared.  Also,
	fixed a bug where http::code could stack trace if called on a bad
	token (one which didn't represent a successful geturl) by adding
	an http element to the state array in geturl.

2000-03-21  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/clock.test: Modified some tests that were not robust with
	respect to the time zone in which they were run and were thus
	failing.

	* doc/clock.n: Clarified meaning of -gmt with respect to -base
	when used with [clock scan] (-gmt does not affect the
	interpretation of -base).

2000-03-19  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: geturl used to throw an exception when
	the connection failed; I accidentally returned a token with the
	error info, breaking backwards compatibility.  I changed it back
	to throwing an exception, but unsetting the state array first
	(thus still eliminating the original memory leak problem).

2000-03-19  Sandeep Tamhankar <sandeep@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Added -querychannel option and altered
	some of Brent's modifications to allow asynchronous posts (via
	-command).  Also modified -queryprogress so that it calls the
	query callback as <callback> <token> <total size> <current size>
	to be consistent with -progress.  Added -queryblocksize option
	with default 8192 bytes for post blocksize.  Fixed a bunch of
	potential memory leaks for the case when geturl receives bad args
	or can't open a socket, etc.  Overall, the package really rocks
	now.

	* doc/http.n: Added -queryblocksize, -querychannel, and
	-queryprogress.  Also, changed the description of -blocksize,
	which states that the -progress callback will be called for each
	block, to now qualify that with an "if -progress is specified".

	* tests/http.test: Added a querychannel test for synchronous and
	asynchronous posts, altered the queryprogress test such that the
	callback conforms to the -progress format.  Also, had to use the
	-queryblocksize option to do the post 16K at a time to match
	Brent's expected results (and to test that -queryblocksize works).

2000-03-15  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>

	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Added -queryprogress callback to
	http::geturl and also changed it so that writing the post data
	is event driven if the queryprogress callback or a timeout is given.
	This allows a timeout to occur when writing lots of post data.
	The queryprogress callback is called after each block of query
	data is posted.  It has the same signature as the -progress callback.

2000-03-06  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* library/package.tcl: Applied patch from Bug: 2570; rather than
	setting geometry of slave interp to 0x0 when Tk was loaded, it now
	does "wm withdraw .".  Both remove the main window from the
	display, but the former caused some internal structures to get
	initialized to zero, which caused crashes with some extensions.

2000-03-02  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown): extended to allow
	recognizes changes in the auto_path while sourcing in other
	pkgIndex.tcl files

	* doc/FindExec.3: fixed doc for declaration of Tcl_FindExecutable
	[Bug: 4275]

	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_TranslateFileName): Applied patch
	from Newman to significantly speedup file split/join on Windows
	(replaces regexp with custom parser).  [Bug: 2867]

	* win/README.binary: change mailing lists from @consortium.org
	to @scriptics.com [Bug: 4173]

2000-02-28  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/clock.test: Added test for ISO bases < 100000

	* generic/tclDate.c: (generated on Solaris)
	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Changed condition for deciding if a number
	is an ISO 8601 base from number >= 100000 to numberOfDigits >= 6.
	Previously it would fail to recognize 000000 as an ISO base.

2000-02-14  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* unix/Makefile.in: Added rpm target to generate Tcl binary RPM.

	* unix/tcl.spec: RPM specification file for a Tcl binary RPM for
	Linux.

2000-02-10  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* changes: updated for 8.3.0 release

	* doc/load.n: added notes about dll load errors on Windows

	* unix/README:
	* unix/Makefile.in (dist): removed porting.notes and porting.old
	from distribution and CVS.  The information was very outdated.  Now
	refer to http://dev.scriptics.com/services/support/platforms.html

	* tests/unixInit.test: fixed japanese LANG encoding test [Bug: 3549]

	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tcl.m4: correct CFLAG_WARNING setting,
	fixed gcc config for AIX,
	added -export-dynamic to LDFLAGS for FreeBSD-3+ [Bug: 2998]

	* win/tclWinLoad.c (TclpLoadFile): improved error message for load
	failures, could perhaps be even more intelligent.

2000-02-09  Jim Ingham	 <jingham@cygnus.com>

	* mac/tclMacSock.c: Don't panic when you get an error closing an async 
	socket.	 This doesn't seem to hurt anything, and we return the error so
	the caller can do the right thing.

	New Files:
	* mac/MW_TclHeader.h:
	* mac/MW_TclTestHeader.h:
	* mac/MW_TclTestHeader.pch:
	* mac/MW_TclAppleScriptHeader.h: More convenient to use .h prefix files
	in the preference panels...

	The above are curtesy of Daniel Steffen (steffen@math.mq.edu.au)

2000-02-08  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/clock.test: Added tests for "next monthname" constructs.
	* generic/tclDate.c: 
	* generic/tclGetDate.y (Message): Added a grammar rule for "next
	monthname" so that we can handle "next january" and similar
	constructs (bug #4146).

2000-02-08  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* unix/tcl.m4: changed all -fpic to -fPIC

	* generic/tclDecls.h:
	* generic/tcl.decls: change Tcl_GetOpenFile to use decl of 'int
	forWriting' instead of 'int write' to avoid shadowing [Bug: 4121]

	* tests/httpold.test: changed test script to source in the httpd
	server procs from httpd instead of having its own set.

	* tests/httpd: improved query support in test httpd to handle fix
	in http.tcl. [Bug: 4089 change 2000-02-01]

	* unix/README: fixed notes about --enable-shared and add note
	about --disable-shared.

2000-02-07  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/package.test: 
	* library/tclIndex: 
	* library/package.tcl: Renamed ::package namespace to ::pkg.

2000-02-03  Eric Melski <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* doc/Package.n:
	* doc/packagens.n: Renamed Package.n -> packagens.n because Windows 
	can't deal with case-sensitive names.

2000-02-02  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* tests/regexp.test: added tests for -all and -inline switches
	* doc/regexp.n: added docs for -all and -inline switches
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_RegexpObjCmd): added extra comments for
	new -all and -inline switches to regexp command

2000-02-01  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* library/init.tcl: Applied patch from rfe 1734 regarding
	auto_load errors not setting error message and errorInfo properly.

2000-02-01  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* win/Makefile.in (install-*): reduced verbosity of install

	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_JoinPath): improved support for special
	QNX node id prefixes in pathnames [Bug: 4053]

	* library/http1.0/http.tcl:
	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: The query data POSTed was newline
	terminated when it shouldn't be altered [Bug: 4089]

2000-01-31  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/package.test: 
	* library/tclIndex: 
	* library/package.tcl: Added ::package namespace and
	::package::create function.

	* library/init.tcl: Fixed problem with auto_load and determining
	if commands were loaded.

	* library/auto.tcl: "Fixed" issues with $ in files to be auto indexed.

	* doc/Package.n: New man page for package::create function.

	* doc/pkgMkIndex.n: Added additional information.

	* doc/library.n: Added additional qualification regarding auto_mkindex.

2000-01-28  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/pkg/magicchar2.tcl: 
	* tests/autoMkindex.test: Test for auto loader fix (bug #2480).

	* library/init.tcl: auto_load was using [info commands $name] to
	determine if a given command was available; if the command name
	had * or [] it, this would fail because info commands uses
	glob-style matching.  This is fixed.  (Bug #2480).

	* tests/pkg/spacename.tcl: 
	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Tests for fix for bug #2360.

	* library/package.tcl: Fixed to extract only the first element of
	the list returned by auto_qualify (bug #2360).

	* tests/pkg/magicchar.tcl: 
	* tests/autoMkindex.test: Test for fix for bug #2611.

	* library/auto.tcl: Fixed the regular expression that performs $
	escaping before sourcing a file to index.  It was erroneously
	adding \ escapes even to $'s that were already escaped,
	effectively "un-escaping" those $'s.  (bug #2611).

2000-01-27  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/autoMkindex.test: 
	* library/auto.tcl: Applied patch (with slight modification) from
	bug #2701:  auto_mkIndex uses platform dependent file paths.
	Added test for fix.

2000-01-27  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@scriptics.com>

	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Changed NormalizePath to
	normalizePath and exported it as a public proc.  This proc 
	creates an absolute path given the name of the variable containing
	the path to modify.  The path is modified in place.
	* library/tcltest1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: Added normalizePath.
	* tests/all.tcl: Changed code to use normalizePath.

2000-01-27  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/pkg/samename.tcl: test file for bug #1983
	
	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: 
	* doc/pkgMkIndex.n: 
	* library/package.tcl: Per rfe #4097, optimized creation of direct
	load packages to bypass computing the list of commands added by
	the new package.  Also made direct loading the default, and added
	a -lazy option.
	Fixed bug #1983, dealing with pkg_mkIndex incorrectly handling
	situations with two procs by the same name but in different
	namespaces (ie, foo::baz and bar::baz).

2000-01-26  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclNamesp.c: Undid fix for #956, which broke backwards
	compatibility.

	* doc/variable.n: 
	* doc/trace.n: 
	* doc/namespace.n: 
	* doc/info.n: Added further information about differences between
	"namespace which" and "info exists".

	* doc/SetErrno.3: Added descriptions of ErrnoId() and ErrnoMsg()
	functions.

2000-01-25  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* unix/tcl.m4: modified EXTRA_CFLAGS to add -DHAVE_TZSET for
	OSF1-V* and ULTRIX-4.* when not using gcc.  Also added higher min
	stack size for OSF1-V* when building with threads. [Bug: 4063]

	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): inlined resultPtr, as it
	conflicted with var creation for HAVE_TZSET #def [Bug: 4063]

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsortObjCmd): fixed potential leak
	when calling lsort -command with bad command [Bug: 4067]

	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_JoinPath): added support for special
	QNX node id prefixes in pathnames [Bug: 4053]

	* doc/ListObj.3: clarified Tcl_ListObjGetElements docs [Bug: 4080]

	* doc/glob.n: clarified Mac path separator determination docs.

	* win/makefile.vc: added some support for building helpfile on Windows

2000-01-23  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* library/init.tcl (auto_execok): added 'start' to list of
	recognized built-in commands for COMSPEC on NT. [Bug: 2858]

	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: moved include of <utime.h> lower since some
	systems (UTS) require sys/types.h to be included first [Bug: 4031]

	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (CreateSocketAddress): changed comparison
	with -1 to 0xFFFFFFFF, to ensure 32 bit comparison even on 64 bit
	systems. [Bug: 3878]

	* generic/tclFileName.c: improved guessing of path separator
	for the Mac. (Darley)

	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tcl.decls: moved Tcl_ProcObjCmd to stubs table [Bug: 3827]
	and removed 'register' from stub definition of
	Tcl_AppendUnicodeToObj [Bug: 4038]

2000-01-21  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* unix/mkLinks: 
	* doc/GetHostName.3: Man page for Tcl_GetHostName (bug #1817).

	* doc/lreplace.n: Corrected man page with respect to treatment of
	empty lists, and "prettied up" the page. (bug #1705).

2000-01-20  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/namespace.test: Added test for undefined variables with
	namespace which (bug #956).

	* generic/tclNamesp.c: Added check for undefined variables in
	NamespaceWhichCmd (bug #956).

	* tests/var.test: Added tests for corrected variable behavior 
	(bug #981).

	* doc/upvar.n: Expanded explanation of upvar behavior with respect to
	variable traces.  (bugs 3917 1433 2110).

	* generic/tclVar.c: Changed behavior of variable command when name
	refers to an element in an array (ie, "variable foo(x)") to always
	return an error, regardless of existance of that element in the
	array (now behavior is consistant with docs too) (bug #981).

2000-01-20  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoBodyCmd): made [info body] return a
	string if the body has been bytecompiled.
	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalObjEx): added pedantic check for
	originating proc body of bytecompiled code, #def'd out as the
	change for [info body] should make it unnecessary

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): added cast for tsdPtr

	* tests/set.test: added test for complex array elem name compiling
	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileSetCmd): Fixed parsing of array
	elements during compiling, and slightly optimised same [Bug: 3889]

	* doc/tclvars.n: added definitions for tcl_(non)wordchars

	* doc/vwait.n: added notes about requirement for vwait var being
	globally scoped [Bug: 3329]

	* library/word.tcl: changed tcl_(non)wordchars settings to use
	new unicode regexp char class escapes instead of char sequences

2000-01-14  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/var.test: Added a test for the array multiple delete
	protection in Tcl_UnsetVar2.

	* generic/tclVar.c: Added protection in Tcl_UnsetVar2 against
	attempts to multiply delete arrays when unsetting them (bug
	#3453).  This could happen if there was an unset trace on an array
	element and the trace proc made a global or upvar link to the
	array, and then the array was unset at the global level.  See the
	bug reference for more information.

	* unix/tclUnixTime.c: New clock format format.

	* compat/strftime.c: New clock format format.

	* generic/tclGetDate.y: New clock scan format.

2000-01-13  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

	* generic/regexec.c: added var initialization to prevent compiler
	warning

2000-01-13  Eric Melski  <ericm@scriptics.com>

	* tests/cmdIL.test: Added tests for lsort -dictionary with
	characters that occur between Z and a in ASCII.

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: Modified DictionaryCompare function (used by

.SH DESCRIPTION

\fBTcl_ChannelType\fR structure, see the section TCL_CHANNELTYPE, below.
.PP
\fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR interacts with the code managing the standard
channels. Once a standard channel was initialized either through a
call to \fBTcl_GetStdChannel\fR or a call to \fBTcl_SetStdChannel\fR
closing this standard channel will cause the next call to
\fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR to make the new channel the new standard
channel too. See \fBTcl_StandardChannels\fR for a general treatise
about standard channels and the behaviour of the Tcl library with
regard to them.
.PP
\fBTcl_GetChannelInstanceData\fR returns the instance data associated with
the channel in \fIchannel\fR. This is the same as the \fIinstanceData\fR
argument in the call to \fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR that created this channel.
.PP

.VE
.PP
\fBTcl_GetChannelMode\fR returns an OR-ed combination of \fBTCL_READABLE\fR
and \fBTCL_WRITABLE\fR, indicating whether the channel is open for input
and output.
.PP
\fBTcl_GetChannelBufferSize\fR returns the size, in bytes, of buffers
allocated to store input or output in \fIchannel\fR. If the value was not set
by a previous call to \fBTcl_SetChannelBufferSize\fR, described below, then
the default value of 4096 is returned.
.PP
\fBTcl_SetChannelBufferSize\fR sets the size, in bytes, of buffers that
will be allocated in subsequent operations on the channel to store input or
output. The \fIsize\fR argument should be between ten and one million,
allowing buffers of ten bytes to one million bytes. If \fIsize\fR is

.PP
\fBTcl_BadChannelOption\fR is called from driver specific set or get option
procs to generate a complete error message.

.VS 8.3.2



\fBTcl_ChannelBuffered\fR returns the number of bytes of input
currently buffered in the internal buffer (push back area) of the
channel itself. It does not report about the data in the overall
buffers for the stack of channels the supplied channel is part of.

.PP
\fBTcl_SpliceChannel\fR adds the specified \fIchannel\fR to the
(thread)global list of all channels (of the current thread).
Application to a channel registered in some interpreter is not allowed.
.PP
\fBTcl_ClearChannelHandlers\fR removes all channelhandlers and event
scripts associated with the specified \fIchannel\fR, thus shutting
down all event processing for this channel.
.VE

.SH TCL_CHANNELTYPE
.PP
A channel driver provides a \fBTcl_ChannelType\fR structure that contains
pointers to functions that implement the various operations on a channel;

The \fIoutputProc\fR field contains the address of a function called by the
generic layer to transfer data from an internal buffer to the output device.
\fIOutputProc\fR must match the following prototype:
.PP
.CS
typedef int Tcl_DriverOutputProc(
	ClientData \fIinstanceData\fR,
	CONST char *\fIbuf\fR,
	int \fItoWrite\fR,
	int *\fIerrorCodePtr\fR);
.CE
.PP
\fIInstanceData\fR is the same as the value passed to
\fBTcl_CreateChannel\fR when the channel was created. The \fIbuf\fR
argument contains an array of bytes to be written to the device, and the
