2007-05-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclInt.h:     TclFinalizeThreadAlloc() is always defined,
	so make sure it is also always declared.

	[Tcl Bug 1706140]

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Trace*Proc):	Update Tcl_VarTraceProcs so
	* generic/tclLink.c (LinkTraceProc):    that they call
	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclPrecTraceProc): Tcl_InterpDeleted() for
	themselves, and do not rely on (frequently buggy) setting of the
	TCL_INTERP_DESTROYED flag by the trace core.

	* generic/tclVar.c:     Update callers of CallVarTraces to not
	pass in the TCL_INTERP_DESTROYED flag.  Also apply filters so that
	public routines only pass documented flag values down to lower level
	routines.

	* generic/tclVar.c (CallVarTraces):        The setting of the
	TCL_INTERP_DESTROYED flag is now done entirely within the
	CallVarTraces routine, the only place it can be done right.

2007-04-30  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in: add 'tclsh' dependency to install targets that rely
	on tclsh, fixes parallel 'make install' from empty build dir.

	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:        for TclpLocaltime and TclpGmtime.
	* unix/tclUnixTime.c:        CONST TclpTime_t is a 'time_t *CONST'
	* win/tclWinTime.c:          and not a 'CONST time_t*' [Bug 1677275]

2007-03-24  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Thread exit handler marks the current 
	thread as un-initialized. This allows exit handlers that
	are registered later to re-initialize this subsystem in 
	case they need to use some sync primitives (cond variables)
	from this file again. 

2007-03-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_CreateThread):	Replaced some calls to
	* generic/tclPkg.c (CheckVersion):	Tcl_Alloc() with calls to
	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (SetTZIfNecessary):	ckalloc(), which better
	* win/tclAppInit.c (setargv):	supports memory debugging.

2007-03-17  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>
	
	* win/tclWinReg.c (GetKeyNames): Size the buffer for enumerating

	  supplied by Mo DeJong to fix [Bug 1516109]. Backport from Tcl
	  8.5. Mo's description: Clear the TCL_ENCODING_END flag when end

	  bytes for an encoding like iso2022-jp multiple times when the
	  escape byte overlap with the end of the IO buffer.
	* tests/io.test: Add test case for escape byte overlap case.

2007-01-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tcl.m4:       integrate CPPFLAGS into CFLAGS as late as possible
	* unix/configure.in: and move (rather than duplicate) -isysroot flags
	from CFLAGS to CPPFLAGS to avoid errors about multiple -isysroot flags
	from some older gcc builds.

	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13

2007-01-22  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

	* compat/memcmp.c (memcmp): Fixed the VOID / CONST typo introduced
	  by the last checkin.

2007-01-22  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* compat/memcmp.c (memcmp): Reworked so that arithmetic is never

	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: accommodate changes to prototypes of
	OSSpinLock(Un)Lock API.
	
	* tests/env.test: add extra system env vars that need to be preserved
	on some Mac OS X versions for testsuite to work.

	* unix/tcl.m4: ensure CPPFLAGS env var is used when set. [Bug 1586861]
	(Darwin): add -isysroot and -mmacosx-version-min flags to CPPFLAGS when
	present in CFLAGS to avoid discrepancies between what headers configure
	sees during preprocessing tests and compiling tests.

	* doc/string.n: Fix example. [Bug 1615277]

2006-12-05  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

	* tests/pkg.test:   Backport to 8.4 (Don Porter's work):
	* generic/tclPkg.c: When no requirements are supplied to a [package
	require $pkg] and [package unknown] is invoked to find a satisfying
	package, pass the requirement argument "0-" (which means all versions
	are acceptable). This permits a registered [package unknown] command
	to call [package vsatisfies $testVersion {*}$args] without any special
	handling of the empty $args case. This fixes/avoids a bug in
	[::tcl::tm::UnknownHandler] that was causing old TM versions to be
	provided in preference to newer TM versions. Thanks to Julian Noble
	for discovering the issue.

2006-09-06  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tclUnixChan.c: Added TCL_THREADS ifdef'ed  usage
	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: of MT-safe calls like:
	* unix/tclUnixSock.c: getpwuid, getpwnam, getgrgid, getgrnam,
	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr.
	* unix/Makefile.in:   See Tcl Bug: 999544
	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tcl.m4:
	* unix/configure: Regenerated.

	* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: New file containing MT-safe implementation of
	some library calls.

2006-09-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/main.text (Tcl_Main-4.4):	Test corrected to not be
	timing sensitive to the Bug 1481986 fix. [Bug 1550858]

2006-09-04  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* doc/package.n: correct package example

2006-08-30  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tclWinChan.c: [Bug 819667] Improve logic for identifying COM
	ports.

	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:    [Bug 1548263] Added test for NULL return
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: from Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath which was
	causing segv's

	* generic/tclFileName.c (TclDoGlob): match incr with existing decr.

	* unix/Makefile.in: add valgrindshell target and update default
	VALGRINDARGS. User can override, or add to it with VALGRIND_OPTS env
	var.

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CreateInterp): init iPtr->threadId

	* generic/tclIOGT.c (ExecuteCallback): 
	* generic/tclPkg.c (Tcl_PkgRequireEx): replace Tcl_GlobalEval(Obj)
	with more efficient Tcl_Eval(Obj)Ex

2006-08-22  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): Fixed broken if syntax
	committed 2006-08-21 by Daniel. The broken syntax is visible to all
	unix platforms, but not on OSX for machines which HAVE_COREFOUNDATION.

2006-08-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:	Revisions to complete the thread finalization
	of the cwdPathPtr. [Bug 1536142]

2006-08-21  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): if the run loop is
	already running (e.g. if Tcl_WaitForEvent was called recursively),
	re-run it in a custom run loop mode containing only the source for the
	notifier thread, otherwise wakeups from other sources added to the
	common run loop modes might get lost; sync panic msg changes from
	HEAD.

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): on 64-bit Darwin,
	pthread_cond_timedwait() appears to have a bug that causes it to wait
	forever when passed an absolute time which has already been exceeded
	by the system time; as a workaround, when given a very brief timeout,
	just do a poll on that platform. [Bug 1457797]

	* unix/tclUnixPort.h (Darwin): override potentially faulty configure
	detection of termios availability in all cases, since termios is known
	to be present on all Mac OS X releases since 10.0. [Bug 497147]

2006-08-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add support for --enable-64bit on x86_64, for
	universal builds including x86_64, for 64-bit CoreFoundation on
	Leopard and for use of -mmacosx-version-min instead of
	MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET.
	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13

	* generic/tcl.h:      add fixes for building on Leopard and support
	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: for 64-bit CoreFoundation on Leopard.

	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: on Darwin x86_64, disable use of vfork as it
	causes execve to fail intermittently. (rdar://4685553)
	
	* macosx/README: updates for x86_64 support and Xcode 2.4.

	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (TclUnixWaitForFile): with timeout < 0, if
	select() returns early (e.g. due to a signal), call it again instead
	of returning a timeout result. Fixes intermittent event-13.8 failures.

2006-08-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	Replace buffer copy in for loop with
	call to memcpy(). Thanks to afredd. [Patch 1530262]

2006-08-03  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): for USE_VFORK: ensure
	standard channels are initialized before vfork() so that the child
	doesn't potentially corrupt global state in the parent's address
	space.

2006-07-30  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* tests/clock.test: Allowed UTC as a synonym for GMT in two tests that
	indirectly invoke 'strftime' with the result of 'gmtime' to fix a
	bogus test failure on FreeBSD systems. [Bug 1513489]
	
2006-07-30  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/AppInit.3: Fix typo [Bug 1496886]

2006-07-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier, Tcl_WaitForEvent):
	create notifier thread lazily upon first call to Tcl_WaitForEvent()
	rather than in Tcl_InitNotifier(). Allows calling exeve() in processes
	where the event loop has not yet been run (Darwin's execve() fails in
	processes with more than one thread), in particular allows embedders
	to call fork() followed by execve(), previously the pthread_atfork()
	child handler's call to Tcl_InitNotifier() would immediately recreate
	the notifier thread in the child after a fork.

	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier):	   add support for
	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, CopyFileAtts): weakly importing
	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings):	   symbols not
	available on OSX 10.2 or 10.3, enables binaires built on later OSX
	versions to run on earlier ones.
	* macosx/README: document how to enable weak-linking; cleanup.
	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: add support for weak-linking; conditionalize
	AvailabilityMacros.h inclusion; only disable realpath on 10.2 or
	earlier when threads are enabled.
	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadMemoryGetBuffer): change runtime Darwin
	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform):	release check to use
						       global initialized once
	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, TclpObjNormalizePath): add runtime
	Darwin release check to determine if realpath is threadsafe.
	* unix/configure.in: add check on Darwin for compiler support of weak
	* unix/tcl.m4:	     import and for AvailabilityMacros.h header; move
	Darwin specific checks & defines that are only relevant to the tcl
	build out of tcl.m4; restrict framework option to Darwin; cleanup
	quoting.
	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13

	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpLoadMemory):
	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): fix signed-with-unsigned
	comparison and other warnings from gcc4 -Wextra.

2006-07-13  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: Added the inclusion of <AvailabilityMacros.h>.
	The missing header caused the upcoming #if conditions to wrongly
	exclude realpath, causing file normalize to ignore symbolic links in
	the path.

2006-07-11  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclAsync.c: Made Tcl_AsyncDelete() more tolerant when called
	after all thread TSD has been garbage-collected.

2006-07-10  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CreateChannel): allow Tcl std channel
	inheritance to be #defined out (default remains in).

2006-06-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* changes:		changes to start prep for an 8.4.14 release.

2006-06-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tclUnixPort.h (Darwin): support for MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED
	define from AvailabilityMacros.h: override configure detection and only
	use API available in the indicated OS version or earlier.

2006-06-14  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/regerror.c:	Enable building Tcl with Microsoft's latest
	* generic/tcl.h:	compiler offering (VS2005). We have to handle
	* generic/tclDate.c:	a number of oddities as they have deprecated
	* tests/env.test:	most of the standard C library and now
	* win/makefile.vc:	generate manifest files to be linked into the
	* win/nmakehlp.c:	binaries. [Bug 1424909]
	* win/rules.vc:		
	* win/tclWinTime.c:

2006-06-13  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* unix/tclLoadDl.c (TclpDlopen): Workaround for a compiler bug in Sun
	Forte 6. [Bug 1503729]

2006-06-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/GetStdChan.3:	Added recommendation that each call to
	Tcl_SetStdChannel() be accompanied by a call to Tcl_RegisterChannel().

2006-05-31  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceInscopeCmd): revert [Bug 1400572]
	fix of 2006-01-09 for [namespace inscope] as it seems to mess with
	itcl scope decoding. Leaving namespace-29.6 test failure until final
	cause it determined.

2006-05-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_DecrRefCount): use if/else construct to allow
	placement in unbraced outer if/else conditions. (jcw)

2006-05-27  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c: implemented pthread_atfork() handler that
	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin):	    recreates CoreFoundation state and notifier
	thread in the child after a fork(). Note that pthread_atfork() is
	available starting with Tiger only. Because vfork() is used by the core
	on Darwin, [exec]/[open] are not affected by this fix, only extensions
	or embedders that call fork() directly (such as TclX). However, this
	only makes fork() safe from corefoundation tcl with --disable-threads;
	as on all platforms, forked children may deadlock in threaded tcl due
	to the potential for stale locked mutexes in the child. [Patch 923072]
	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59

2006-05-24  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_SYSTEM): Fixed quoting of command script to
	awk; it was a rarely used branch, but it was wrong. [Bug 1494160]

2006-05-13  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclFileName.c (TclDoGlob):	Disabled the partial
	normalization done by the recursive glob routine, since changing the
	precise string of the pathname broke [glob] on some Tcl_Filesystems.
	[Bug 943995]

	* generic/tclProc.c (ProcCompileProc):	When a bump of the compile
	epoch forces the re-compile of a proc body, take care not to
	overwrite any Proc struct that may be referred to on the active
	call stack. This fixes [Bug 1482718]. Note that the fix will not be
	effective for code that calls the private routine TclProcCompileProc()
	directly.

2006-05-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main):		Corrected flaw that required
	* tests/main.test: (Tcl_Main-4.5):	processing of one interactive
	command before passing control to the loop routine registered with
	Tcl_SetMainLoop() [Bug 1481986]

2006-05-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* README:		Bump version number to 8.4.14
	* generic/tcl.h:
	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tcl.spec:
	* win/README.binary:

2006-04-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	*** 8.4.13 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***

	* changes:	updates for another RC.

2006-04-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	Stop some interference between enter traces
	* tests/trace.test:	and enterstep traces. [Bug 1458266]

2006-04-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* changes:	updates for another RC.

2006-04-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclRegexp.c (FinalizeRegexp): full reset data to indicate
	readiness for reinitialization.

2006-04-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct):	It seems there
	* tests/indexObj.test:	are extensions that rely on the prior behavior
	* doc/GetIndex.3:	that the empty string cannot succeed as a
	unique prefix matcher, so I'm restoring Donal Fellows's solution.
	Added mention of this detail to the documentation. [Bug 1464039]

2006-04-06  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tcl.m4: removed TCL_IO_TRACK_OS_FOR_DRIVER_WITH_BAD_BLOCKING
	define on Darwin. [Bug 1457515]
	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13

2006-04-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl:	Long overlooked bump to registry
	* win/tclWinReg.c:		package version 1.1.4 (should have
	been done for the Tcl 8.4.8 release!)

	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:	Long overlooked bump to dde package
	* win/tclWinDde.c:		version 1.2.4 (should have been done
	for the Tcl 8.4.8 release!)

2006-04-05  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct): Allow empty
	strings to be matched by the Tcl_GetIndexFromObj machinery, in the
	same manner as any other key. [Bug 1464039]

2006-04-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclPkg.c:	Revised Bug 1162286 fix from 2005-11-08 to be
	* tests/pkg.test:	even more forgiving of package version
	mismatch errors in [package ifneeded] commands, not even logging any
	warning messages. This further reduces the
	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** noted for that change.

2006-04-03  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Added check, panic and commentary to a
	piece of code which relies on BUFFER_PADDING to create enough space at
	the beginning of each buffer for the insertion of partial multibyte
	data at the beginning of a buffer. Commentary explains why this code
	is OK, and the panic is as a precaution if someone twiddled the
	BUFFER_PADDING into uselessness.

	* generic/tclIO.c (ReadChars): Temporarily suppress the use of
	TCL_ENCODING_END set when EOF was reached while the buffer we are
	converting is not truly the last buffer in the queue. Together with
	the Utf bug below it was possible to completely wreck the buffer data
	structures, eventually crashing Tcl. [Bug 1462248]

	* generic/tclEncoding.c (UtfToUtfProc): Stop accessing memory beyond
	the end of the input buffer when TCL_ENCODING_END is set and the last
	bytes of the buffer start a multi-byte sequence. This bug contributed
	to [Bug 1462248].

2006-03-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/configure, win/tcl.m4: define MACHINE for gcc builds as well.
	Needed by Tk for manifest generation.

	* win/tclWinConsole.c: revert 2005-11-03 [Patch 1256872] change to add
	win32 unicode console support as it broke the ability to modify the
	encoding to the console.

2006-03-28  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TclpObjNormalizePath): deal with *BSD/Darwin
	realpath() converting relative paths into absolute paths. [Bug 1064247]

2006-03-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to nativeFilesystemRecord comparisons
	(lesser part of [Bug 1064247])

2006-03-27  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinTest.c:	Fixes for [Bug 1456373] (mingw-gcc issue) 

2006-03-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/expr.test:	Nan self-inquality test silenced. [Bug 761471]

2006-03-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* changes:	updates for another RC.

2006-03-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinFile.c:
	* win/tclWinTest.c:
	* tests/fCmd.test:
	* tests/winFCmd.test:
	* tests/tcltest.test: Backport of [file writable] fixes for Windows
	from HEAD. [Bug 1193497]

2006-03-16  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

	* doc/open.n: Documented the changed behaviour of 'a'ppend mode.
	
	* tests/io.test (io-43.1 io-44.[1234]): Rewritten to be
	self-contained with regard to setup and cleanup. [Bug 681793]

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclGetOpenMode): Added the flag O_APPEND to the
	list of POSIX modes used when opening a file for 'a'ppend. This
	enables the proper automatic seek-to-end-on-write by the OS. See [Bug
	680143] for longer discussion.

	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-13.7.*): Extended the testsuite to check the
	new handling of 'a'.

2006-03-15  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

	* tests/socket.test: Extended the timeout in socket-11.11 from 10 to
	40 seconds to allow for really slow machines. Also extended
	actual/expected results with value of variable 'done' to make it
	clearer when a test fails due to a timeout. [Bug 792159]

2006-03-14  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): Modified the processing of
	pipebars to fail if the last bar is followed only by redirections.
	[Bug 768659]

2006-03-14  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

	* doc/fconfigure.n: Clarified that -translation is binary is reported
	as lf when queried, because it is identical to lf, except for the
	special additional behaviour when setting it. [Bug 666770]

2006-03-14  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

	* win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid): Backport of fix made to the head by
	David Gravereaux in 2004. See ChangeLog entry 2004-01-19. [Bug 1381436]

	Fixed a thread-safety problem with the process list. The delayed cut
	operation after the wait was going stale by being outside the list
	lock. It now cuts within the lock and does a locked splice for when it
	needs to instead. [Bug 859820]

2006-03-13  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclEncoding.c:	Report error when an escape encoding
	is missing one of its sub-encodings [Bug 506653]

	* unix/configure.in:	Revert change from 2005-07-26 that sometimes
	* unix/configure:	added $prefix/share to the tcl_pkgPath.
	See [Patch 1231015]. autoconf-2.13.

2006-03-10  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

	-- Summary of changes fixing [Bug 1437595] --

	* generic/tclEvent.c: Cosmetic touches and identation
	* generic/tclInt.h: Added TclpFinalizeSockets() call.

	* generic/tclIO.c: Calls TclpFinalizeSockets() as part of the
	TclFinalizeIOSubsystem().

	* unix/tclUnixSock: Added no-op TclpFinalizeSockets().
	
	* mac/tclMacSock.c:
	* win/tclWinPipe.c
	* win/tclWinSock.c: Finalization of the sockets/pipes is now solely
	done in TclpFinalizeSockets() and TclpFinalizePipes() and not over the
	thread-exit handler, because the order of actions the Tcl generic core
	will impose may result in cores/hangs if the thread exit handler tears
	down corresponding subsystem(s) too early.

2006-03-10  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: 
	* win/tclWinInt.h: 
	* win/tclWinFile.c: backported some fixes from HEAD relating to 'file
	readable' and 'file writable', but main 'file writable' bug still
	outstanding.

	* tests/parse.test:	evaluations act the same as [uplevel #0]
	* tests/trace.test:	evaluations, even when execution traces or
	invocations of [::unknown] are present. [Bug 1439836]

	* generic/tclIndexObj.c:	Disallow the "ambiguous" error message
	* tests/indexObj.test:		when TCL_EXACT matching is requested.

2006-02-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

2006-02-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/main.test (Tcl_Main-6.7):	Improved robustness of command
	auto-completion test. [Bug 1422736]

2006-01-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitPlatform): Improved conditions on when
	to update the FP rounding mode on FreeBSD, taken from FreeBSD port.

2006-01-23  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_GetRange): 
	* tests/stringTest (string-12.21):fixed incorrect handling of internal
	rep in Tcl_GetRange. Thanks to twylite and Peter Spjuth. [Bug 1410553]

2006-01-16  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

	* generic/tclPipe.c (FileForRedirect): Prevent nameString from being
	freed without having been initialized.
	* tests/exec.test: Added a test for the above.
	
2006-01-12  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSGetInternalRep): fixed potential
	overwriting of already freed memory which caused all kinds of (rare
	but reproducible) coredumps all over the place.

	* tests/error.test (error-7.0):	Test the timing of write traces on
	::errorInfo. [Bug 1397843]

2006-01-10  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/configure:    add caching, use AC_CACHE_CHECK instead of
	* unix/configure.in: AC_CACHE_VAL where possible, consistent message
	* unix/tcl.m4:	     quoting, sync relevant tclconfig/tcl.m4 and HEAD
	changes and gratuitous formatting differences, fix SC_CONFIG_MANPAGES
	with default argument, Darwin improvements to SC_LOAD_*CONFIG.
	
2006-01-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclNamesp.c (NamespaceInscopeCmd):	[namespace inscope]
	* tests/namespace.test:	commands were not reported by [info level].
	[Bug 1400572]

2005-12-20  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (Tcl_GetMemoryInfo): Format values as longs
	and not ints, so they are less likely to wrap on 64-bit machines.

2005-12-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* doc/Tcl.n: Clarify what is going on in variable substitution
	following thread on comp.lang.tcl.

2005-12-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: workaround gcc warning "comparison is always
	* generic/tclTest.c:   false due to limited range of data type".

	* unix/configure.in: run check for fts API on all platforms, since
	Linux glibc2 and *BSDs also have this and using fts is more efficient
	than recursive opendir/readdir (sync with HEAD).
	* unix/configure: regen.

2005-12-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: Fix sh quoting error reported in
	bash-3.1+ [Bug 1377619] (schafer)

2005-12-12  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprAbsFunc): fixed the abs(MIN_INT) case so
	that it doesn't break on compilers that don't assume integers to wrap
	around (e.g. gcc-4.1.0).

2005-12-09  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

	* tests/lsearch.test (lsearch-10.8..10): If the -start is off the end,
	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): searching should find
	nothing at all. [Bug 1374778]

2005-12-05  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	*** 8.4.12 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***

	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): fixed error when MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET unset
	* unix/configure: regen.

2005-11-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tcl.m4:	   Add build support for Windows-x64 builds.
	* win/configure:   --enable-64bit now accepts =amd64|ia64 for
	* win/Makefile.in: Windows 64-bit build variants (default: amd64)
	* win/makefile.vc: [Bug 1369597]

2005-11-29  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetWideIntFromObj): Add more efficient
	conversion to wides from normal ints. [Bug 1310081]

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): Allow [lsearch -regexp] to
	process REs that contain backreferences. This expensive mode of
	operation is only used if the RE would otherwise cause a compilation
	failure. [Bug 1366683]

2005-11-28  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* win/tclWinSock.c (CreateSocket): Applied [Patch 1353853] to prevent
	reads of uninitialized variables during cleanup.

2005-11-27  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add 64bit support, check for Tiger copyfile(),
	add CFLAGS to SHLIB_LD to support passing -isysroot in env(CFLAGS) to
	configure (flag can't be present twice, so can't be in both CFLAGS and
	LDFLAGS during configure), don't use -prebind when deploying on 10.4,
	define TCL_IO_TRACK_OS_FOR_DRIVER_WITH_BAD_BLOCKING (rdar://3171542).
	(SC_ENABLE_LANGINFO, SC_TIME_HANDLER): add/fix caching, fix obsolete
	autoconf macros. Sync with tk/unix/tcl.m4, sync whitespace with HEAD.

	* unix/configure.in: fix obsolete autoconf macros, sync gratuitous
	formatting/ordering differences with tk/unix/configure.in.

	* unix/Makefile.in: add CFLAGS to tclsh/tcltest link to make
	executable linking the same as during configure (needed to avoid
	loosing any linker relevant flags in CFLAGS, in particular flags that
	can't be in LDFLAGS). Avoid concurrent linking of tclsh and compiling
	of tclTestInit.o or xtTestInit.o during parallel make.
	(checkstubs, checkdoc, checkexports): dependency and Darwin fixes

	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpDlopen): [Bug 1204237] use
	NSADDIMAGE_OPTION_WITH_SEARCHING on second NSAddImage only.
	(TclGuessPackageName): should not be MODULE_SCOPE.
	(TclpLoadMemory): ppc64 and endian (i386) fixes, add support for
	loading universal (fat) bundles from memory.

	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c: add support for new Tiger copyfile() API to
	enable copying of xattrs & ACLs by [file copy].

	* generic/tcl.h: add Darwin specifc configure overrides for TCL_WIDE
	defines to support fat compiles of ppc and ppc64 at the same time,
	(replaces Darwin CVS fix by emoy, rdar://3693001).
	add/correct location of version numbers in macosx files.

	* generic/tclInt.h: clarify fat compile comment.

	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: add Darwin specifc configure overrides to
	support fat compiles, where configure runs only once for multiple
	architectures (replaces Darwin CVS fix by emoy, rdar://3693001).

	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:
	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c:
	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: fix #include order to support compile time
	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:  override of HAVE_COREFOUNDATION in
	tclUnixPort.h when building for ppc64

	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/default.pbxuser (new file):
	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser:
	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: sync with HEAD.

	* macosx/README: clarification/cleanup, sync with HEAD, document
	universal (fat) builds via CFLAGS (i.e. all of ppc ppc64 i386 at once).

	* macosx/Makefile: add support for reusing configure cache, build
	target fixes, remove GENERIC_FLAGS override now handled by tcl.m4.

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
	* generic/tclRegexp.c:
	* generic/tclVar.c: declare globals used only in own file as static

	* unix/configure: regen.

2005-11-20  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStubLib.c: Don't set tclStubsPtr to 0 when
	Tcl_PkgRequireEx() fails [Fix for [Bug 1091431] "Tcl_InitStubs failure
	crashes wish"]

2005-11-18  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* tests/trace.test (trace-34.5): [Bug 1047286], added a second test
	illustrating the role of "ns in callStack" in the ns's visibility
	during deletion traces.

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteCommandFromToken):
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceCommandProc):
	* generic/tclInt.h (NS_KILLED):
	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_DeleteNamespace
	* tests/namespace.test (namespace-7.3-6):
	* tests/trace.test (trace-20.13-16): fix [Bugs 1355942/1355342].

2005-11-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): preserve statePtr until we
	netrieve next statePtr from it.

2005-11-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclPkg.c:	Revised Bug 1162286 fix from 2005-11-08 to be
	* tests/pkg.test:	more forgiving of package version mismatch
	errors in [package ifneeded] commands. This reduces the
	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** noted for that change.

2005-11-18  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): Applied Pat Thoyts' patch
	for [Bug 1359094]. This moves the retrieval of the next channel state
	to the end of the loop, as the called closeproc may close other
	channels, i.e., modify the list we are iterating, invalidating any
	pointer retrieved earlier.

2005-11-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@manchester.ac.uk>

	* library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): Improved syntactic validation
	of URLs, and better error messages in some cases. [Bug 1358369]

	* changes:		Update changes for 8.4.12 release

2005-11-15  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* tests/cmdAH.test: Backported the fix for [Bug 926016] because of
	* win/tclWinFile.c: a repeated bug report in 8.4 [Bug 1353840].
	Windows [file mtime] will now return seconds from the Posix epoch
	correctly (except for FAT32 file systems after a DST change without a
	reboot - for which there is no help). A side effect is that file times
	will appear different in Tcl from the way they do in Windows Explorer
	or a 'dir' listing, because the Microsoft tools get the DST state
	wrong in the listings.

2005-11-09  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* generic/tclTimer.c: Changed [after] so that it behaves correctly
	* tests/timer.test:   with negative arguments. [Bug 1350293]

2005-11-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (MAX_READDIR_UNLINK_THRESHOLD): reduce to 130
	based on errors seen on OS X 10.3 with lots of links in a dir. [Bug
	1034337 followup]

2005-11-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/expr.test:	Portable tests expr-46.13-18 [Bug 1341368]

	* generic/tclPkg.c:	Corrected inconsistencies in the value returned
	* tests/pkg.test:	by Tcl_PkgRequire(Ex) so that the returned
	values will always agree with what is stored in the package database.
	This way repeated calls to Tcl_PkgRequire(Ex) have the same results.
	Thanks to Hemang Lavana. [Bug 1162286]
	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***: Incompatible with those existing
	packages that are accustomed to the [package] command forgiving
	their bugs.

	* tests/namespace.test (25.7,8):	Backport test of knownBug.

2005-11-08  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclTraceVariableObjCmd, TraceVarProc): Applied
	Miguel's fix for [Bug 1348775]. It is not quite as elegant as the one
	applied to the HEAD, but it is easier to use it rather than fully
	backporting.

2005-11-07  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* tests/trace.test (trace-13.2-4): added tests to detect leak, see
	[Bug 1348775].

2005-11-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tcl.m4:	Added code to enable [load] on LynxOS. Thanks to
	heidibr@users.sf.net for the patch. [Bug 1163896]

	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.13.

2005-11-04  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Applied [Patch 1267871] by Matt Newman which
	* win/tclWinPort.h: provides extended error code support.
	* tests/exec.test:  Wrote some tests for this feature.

2005-11-04  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* generic/tclGetDate.y: Added abbreviations for the Korean timezone.
	* generic/tclDate.c:	Regenerated.

	* compat/strftime.c: Fixed a problem where the name of the time zone
	was double-converted from system encoding to UTF-8. Thanks to the
	anonymous submitter of [Bug 1317477] for the report and the patch.

2005-11-04  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclNamesp.c:
	* generic/tclVar.c: fix for [Bugs 1338280/1337229]. Thanks Don.

	* tests/trace.test: fix duplicate test numbers

2005-11-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings):	Modified so
	that multiple calls can continue to atttempt to properly set the
	system encoding. Needed for Tclkit to properly support non-default
	encodings. Thanks to Yaroslav Schekin. [Bug 1201171]

2005-11-03  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:   Backported Anton Kovalenko's [Patch 1256872]
	* win/tclWinConsole.c: to give unicode console support on
	* win/tclWinInt.h:     suitable systems (eg: NT/XP)

2005-11-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclCheckExecutionTraces):	Corrected mistaken
	assumption that all command traces are set at the script level.
	Report/fix from Jacques H. de Villiers. [Bug 1337941]

	* tests/expr-old.test (expr-32.52):	Use int(.) to restrict result
	of left shift to the C long range.

2005-10-29  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/expr.test: Fix problems in new round() tests that lead to
	correct result only on 32 bit long systems. [Bug 1341368]

2005-10-29  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceVarProc): [Bug 1337229], partial fix.
	Ensure that a second call with TCL_TRACE_DESTROYED does not lead to a
	second call to Tcl_EventuallyFree(). It is still true that that second
	call should not happen, so the bug is not completely fixed.
	* tests/trace.test (test-18.3-4): added tests for [Bugs 1337229 and
	1338280].

2005-10-27  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprRoundFunc): Fix typo where number before
	rounding is compared with smallest integer instead of number after
	rounding. This fix does not change the results of any tests.
	* tests/expr.test: Add round() tests for cases near the min and max
	int values.
	* tests/util.test: Remove pointless warning code about testobj command

	* win/tclWinInit.c: Ensure that the core never calls TclPtrSetVar,
	Tcl_SetVar2Ex, Tcl_ObjSetVar2 or Tcl_SetObjErrorCode with a 0-ref new
	value. It is not possible to handle error returns correctly in that
	case [Bug 1334947], one has the choice of leaking the object in some
	cases, or else risk crashing in some others.

2005-10-22  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CONCAT): disable the optimisation for
	wide integers. [Bug 1251791]

2005-10-14  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers): removed change dated
	2005-10-04 below. Look into [Bug 1323992] for detailed discussion.

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Stop [format] from seeing
	the difference between ints and wides. [Bug 1284178]

2005-10-13  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers): temporary
	ifdef TCL_THREADS changes done to de-activate pending
	event processing when channel is being closed/cutted.

2005-10-10  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclInt.h: ensure MODULE_SCOPE decl

2005-10-07  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TraverseUnixTree): Adjust 2004-11-11 change to
	* tests/fCmd.test (fCmd-20.2):		 account for NFS special
	files with a readdir rewind threshold. [Bug 1034337]

2005-10-05  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): Fixed [Bug 1109294]. Applied
	the patch provided by David Gravereaux.

	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Fixed [Bug 1104682], by application of David
	Welton's patch for it, and added a note about wideSeekProc.

2005-10-05  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* tests/env.test (env-6.1):
	* win/tclWinPort.h: define USE_PUTENV_FOR_UNSET 1
	* generic/tclEnv.c (TclSetEnv, TclUnsetEnv): add
	USE_PUTENV_FOR_UNSET to existing USE_PUTENV define to account for
	various systems that have putenv(), but can't unset env vars with it.
	Note difference between Windows and Linux for actually unsetting the
	env var (use of '=').
	Correct the resizing of the environ array. We assume that we are in
	full ownership, but that's not correct. [Bug 979640]

2005-10-04  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialSetOptionProc): free argv [Bug 1067708]

	* tests/http.test:		Do not URI encode -._~ according to
	* library/http/http.tcl (init): RFC3986. [Bug 1182373] (aho)

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclFSNormalizeAbsolutePath): make static
	* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclFindEncodings): make static

	* unix/tclLoadShl.c (TclpDlopen): use DYNAMIC_PATH on second
	shl_load only. [Bug 1204237]

2005-10-04  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_ClearChannelHandlers): now deletes any
	outstanding timer for the channel. Also, prevents events still
	in the event queue from triggering on the current channel.

	* generic/tclTimer.c (Tcl_DeleteTimerHandler): bail out early
	if passed NULL argument.

2005-09-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclMain.c:	Separate encoding conversion of command line
	arguments from list formatting. [Bug 1306162]

	encoding. [Bug 1283976]

2005-08-29  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (ExprMathFunc): Restored "round away from zero"
	* tests/expr.test (expr-46.*):	     behaviour to the "round"
	function. Added test cases for the behavior, including the awkward
	case of a number whose fractional part is 1/2-1/2ulp. [Bug 1275043]

2005-08-25  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclListObj.c (UpdateStringOfList): Stop uncontrolled and

2005-08-16  Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>

	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Pushed Tcl_FinalizeLoad and
	Tcl_ResetFilesystem down after Tcl_FinalizeThreadAlloc because
	unloading DLLs can't happen while they still own TSD keys.
	(This is a backport of changes made in the HEAD on 2005-08-10.)

2005-08-05  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (localeTable): Solaris uses a non-standard name
	for the cp1251 charset. Thanks to Victor Wagner for reporting this.

	* unix/configure, unix/tcl.m4: revert 2005-07-28 change.

	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpDlopen, TclpLoadMemory): workarounds for
	bugs/changes in behaviour in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, sync formatting
	changes from HEAD.

2005-07-29  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (InfoGlobalsCmd): Even in high-speed mode, still
	have to take care with non-existant variables. [Bug 1247135]

2005-07-28  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/README: Update link to msys_mingw8.zip. Remove old Cygwin +
	Mingw info, people should just build with the msys + mingw
	configuration.

2005-07-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* unix/configure, unix/tcl.m4: defined TCL_LOAD_FROM_MEMORY on Darwin
	only for SHARED_BUILD

2005-07-28  Donal K. Fellows  <dkf@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): Arrange for POSIX systems to
	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclpOpenFile):	 use the O_APPEND flag for
	* tests/exec.test (exec-19.1):		 files opened in a pipeline
	like ">>this".	Note that Windows cannot support such access; there is
	no equivalent flag on the handle that can be set at the kernel-call
	level. The test is unix-specific in every way. [Bug 1245953]

2005-07-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/configure: Regen.
	* unix/configure.in: Check for a $prefix/share directory and add it
	the the package if found. This will check for Tcl packages in
	/usr/local/share when Tcl is configured with the default dist install.
	[Patch 1231015]

2005-07-26  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/tclvars.n:	Improved $errorCode documentation. [RFE 776921]

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_CallWhenDeleted):	Converted to use
	per-thread counter, rather than a process global one that required
	mutex protection. [RFE 1077194]

	* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclTeardownNamespace):	Re-ordering so that
	* tests/trace.test (trace-34.4):	command delete traces fire
	while the command still exists. [Bug 1047286]

2005-07-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PROG_TCLSH, SC_BUILD_TCLSH):
	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_PROG_TCLSH, SC_BUILD_TCLSH):
	Split confused search for tclsh on PATH and build and install
	locations into two macros. SC_PROG_TCLSH searches just the PATH.
	SC_BUILD_TCLSH determines the name of the tclsh executable in the Tcl
	build directory. [Bug 1160114], [Patch 1244153]

2005-07-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/auto.tcl:	Updates to the Tcl script library to make
	* library/history.tcl:	use of Tcl 8.4 feautures.  Thanks to
	* library/init.tcl:	Patrick Fradin for prompting on this.
	* library/package.tcl:	[Patch 1237755]
	* library/safe.tcl:
	* library/word.tcl:

2005-07-07  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: Backported [Bug 1095909], removing
	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:	       any use of readdir_r as it is not
	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:	       necessary and just confuses things.

2005-07-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	 New "encoding" Tcl_ObjType (not registered)
	* generic/tclEncoding.c: that permits longer lifetimes of the
	* generic/tclInt.h:	 Tcl_Encoding values kept as intreps of
	Tcl_Obj's.  Reduces the need for repeated reading of encoding
	definition files from the filesystem. [Bug 1077262]

	* generic/tclNamesp.c:	Allow for [namespace import] of a command
	* tests/namespace.test: over a previous [namespace import] of itself
	without throwing an error. [RFE 1230597]

2005-07-01  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: protect against spurious wake-ups while waiting
	on the condition variable when tearing down the notifier thread. [Bug
	1222872]

2005-06-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	*** 8.4.11 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***

	* library/auto.tcl:	Reverted to Revision 1.12.2.3 (Tcl 8.4.9).
	Restores the (buggy) behavior of [auto_reset] that fails to clear
	away auto-loaded commands from non-global namespaces.  Fixing this
	bug exposed an unknown number of buggy files out there (including at
	least portions of the Tk script library) that cannot tolerate double
	[source]-ing.  The burden of fixing these exposed bugs will not be
	forced on package/extension/application authors until Tcl 8.5.

2005-06-24  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize):
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclPreserve.c (TclFinalizePreserve): Changed the
	finalization logic so that Tcl_Preserve finalizes after exit
	handlers run; a lot of code called from Tk's exit handlers
	presumes tha Tcl_Preserve will still work even from an exit
	handler.  Also, made the assertion check that no exit handlers
	are created in Tcl_Finalize conditional on TCL_MEM_DEBUG to
	avoid spurious panics in the "stable" release.

2005-06-24  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/auto.tcl:	Make file safe to re-[source] without
	destroying registered auto_mkindex_parser hooks.

2005-06-23  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: fixed useversion glob pattern to accept
	multi-digit patchlevels.

2005-06-23  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* win/tclWinChan.c: More rewriting of __asm__ blocks that
	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: implement SEH in GCC, because mingw's
	gcc 3.4.2 is not as forgiving of violations committed by
	the old code and caused panics. [Bug 1225957]

2005-06-23  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in (install-private-headers): rewrite tclPort.h when
	installing private headers to remove ../unix relative #include path to
	tclUnixPort.h (which is incorrect at the installed location).

2005-06-22  Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>

	* generic/tclInt.h:			    Changed the finalization
	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize):	    logic to defer the
	* generic/tclIO.c (TclFinalizeIOSubsystem): shutdown of the pipe
	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c (TclFinalizePipes):    management until after
	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclFinalizePipes):	    all channels have been
	    closed, in order to avoid a situation where the Windows
	    PipeCloseProc2 would re-establish the exit handler after exit
	    handlers had already run, corrupting the heap. [Bug 1225727]
	Corrected a read of uninitialized memory in PipeCloseProc2, which (at
	least on certain configurations) caused a great number of tests to
	either fail or hang. [Bug 1225044]

2005-06-22  Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclInt.h: Followup to change made on 2005-06-18 by Daniel
	Steffen. There are compilers (*) who error out on the redefinition of
	WORDS_BIGENDIAN. We have to undef the previous definition (on the
	command line) first to make this acceptable. (*): AIX native.

2005-06-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinFile.c:	Potential buffer overflow. [Bug 1225571]
	Thanks to Pat Thoyts for discovery and fix.

	* tests/safe.test:	Backport performance improvement from
	reduced $::auto_path.

2005-06-21  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/winDde.test: Added some waits to the dde server script to
	let event processing run after we create the dde server and before
	we exit the server process. This avoids 'server did not respond'
	errors.

2005-06-21  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* generic/tclFileName.c: Corrected a problem where a directory name
	containing a colon can crash the process on Windows [Bug 1194458]
	* tests/fileName.test: Added test for [file split] and [file join]
	with a name containing a colon.
	* win/tclWinPipe.c: Reverted davygrvy's changes of 2005-04-19;
	they cause multiple failures in io.test. [Bug 1225044, still open]

2005-06-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Made the walk of the active trace list aware
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	of the direction of trace scanning, so the
	* generic/tclInt.h:	proper correction can be made. [Bug 1224585]
	* tests/trace.test (trace-34.2,3):

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_DeleteTrace):	Added missing walk of the
	* tests/trace.test (trace-34.1):	list of active traces to
	cleanup references to traces being deleted. [Bug 1201035]

2005-06-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/FileSystem.3: added missing Tcl_GlobTypeData documentation [Bug
	935853]

2005-06-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclInt.h: ensure WORDS_BIGENDIAN is defined correctly with
	fat compiles on Darwin (i.e. ppc and i386 at the same time), the
	configure AC_C_BIGENDIAN check is not sufficient in this case because
	a single run of the compiler builds for two architectures with
	different endianness.

	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): add -headerpad_max_install_names to LDFLAGS to
	ensure we can always relocate binaries with install_name_tool.

	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13

2005-06-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* changes:		Update changes for 8.4.11 release

	* README:		Bump version number to 8.4.11
	* generic/tcl.h:
	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tcl.spec:
	* win/README.binary:
	* win/configure.in:

	* unix/configure:	autoconf
	* win/configure:

2005-06-18  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Fix for [Bug 1154163]; only
	* tests/format.test: insert 'l' modifier when it is needed.

2005-06-07  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_FinalizeNotifier): Add dummy variable
	so threaded build compiles.

2005-06-06  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Corrected another buglet in the assembly code for
	stack probing on Win32/gcc. [Bug 1213678]

2005-06-03  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	*** 8.4.10 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***

	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c: fixed header conflict when building this file
	with USE_TCL_STUBS.

	* macosx/Makefile: fixed 'embedded' target.

2005-06-02  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* unix/Makefile.in (html): add BUILD_HTML_FLAGS optional var
	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: add a --useversion to prevent
	confusion when multiple Tcl source dirs exist.

	* changes: updated for 8.4.10 release (porter)

2005-05-31  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: the notifier thread is now created as
	joinable thread and it is properly joined in Tcl_FinalizeNotifier.
	This is an attempt to fix [Bug 1082283]

2005-05-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpFinalizeThreadData): move tlsKey defn
	to top of file and clarify name (was 'key'). [Bug 1204064]

2005-05-27  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* README:	    Bumped patchlevel to 8.4.10
	* generic/tcl.h:
	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
	* unix/tcl.spec, unix/configure, unix/configure.in:
	* win/configure, win/configure.in:

2005-05-26  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Makefile: moved & corrected EMBEDDED_BUILD check.

	* unix/configure.in: corrected framework finalization to softlink
	stub library to Versions/8.x subdir instead of Versions/Current.
	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13

2005-05-25  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TimeObjCmd): add necessary cast

	* unix/configure, unix/configure.in: ensure false Tcl.framework is
	only created with --enable-framework

2005-05-24  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/env.test: added DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH to the list of env vars
	that need to be handled specially.

	* macosx/Makefile:
	* macosx/README:
	* macosx/Tcl-Info.plist.in (new file):
	* unix/Makefile.in:
	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tcl.m4:
	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: moved all Darwin framework build support from
	macosx/Makefile into the standard unix configure/make buildsystem, the
	macosx/Makefile is no longer required to build Tcl.framework (but its
	functionality is still available for backwards compatibility).
	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclLoadFile):
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* unix/tcl.m4:
	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c: added support for [load]ing .bundle binaries in
	addition to .dylib's: .bundle's can be [unload]ed (unlike .dylib's),
	and can be [load]ed from memory, e.g. directly from VFS without
	needing to be written out to a temporary location first. [Bug 1202209]
	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_TimeObjCmd): change [time] called with a
	count > 1 to return a string with a float value instead of a rounded
	off integer. [Bug 1202178]

2005-05-20  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclParseExpr.c: removed unreferenced stack variable "errMsg"
	probably included by fixing [Bug 1201589] (see below).

2005-05-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:	Corrected parser to recognize all
	boolean literals accepted by Tcl_GetBoolean, including prefixes like
	"y" and "f", and to allow "eq" and "ne" as function names in the
	proper context. [Bug 1201589]

2005-05-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): fixed crashing
	CFRelease of runLoopSource in Tcl_InitNotifier (reported by Zoran):
	CFRunLoopAddSource doesn't CFRetain, so can only CFRelease the
	runLoopSource in Tcl_FinalizeNotifier.

2005-05-14  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:
	* unix/tclUnixInit.c:
	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): made use of CoreFoundation API configurable
	and added test of CoreFoundation availablility to allow building on
	ppc64, replaced HAVE_CFBUNDLE by HAVE_COREFOUNDATION; test for
	availability of Tiger or later OSSpinLockLock API.

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
	* unix/Makefile.in:
	* macosx/tclMacOSXNotify.c (new file): when CoreFoundation is
	available, use new CFRunLoop based notifier: allows easy integration
	with other event loops on Mac OS X, in particular the TkAqua Carbon
	event loop is now integrated via a standard tcl event source (instead
	of TkAqua upon loading having to finalize the exsting notifier and
	replace it with its custom version). [Patch 1202052]

	* tests/unixNotfy.test: don't run unthreaded tests on Darwin since
	notifier may be using threads even in unthreaded core.

	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): test for thread-unsafe realpath durning
	configure, as Darwin 7 and later realpath is threadsafe.

	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c:
	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c:
	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: fixed gcc 4.0 warnings.

	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13

2005-05-10  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* tests/string.test: string-10.[21-30]
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): add extra checks to
	prevent possible UMR in unichar cmp function for string map.

2005-05-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* unix/tcl.m4, unix/configure: correct Solaris 10 (5.10) check and
	add support for x86_64 Solaris cc builds.

2005-04-29  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* doc/FileSystem.3: Backport of doc fix. [Bug 1172401]

2005-04-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/init.tcl:	Corrected flaw in interactive command
	* tests/main.test:	auto-completion. [Bug 1191409]

	* tests/unixInit.test (7.1):	Alternative fix for the
	2005-04-22 commit.

2005-04-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* compat/string.h: fixed memchr() protoype for __APPLE__ so that we
	build on Mac OS X 10.1 again.

	* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): fixed notifier not being
	finalized in unthreaded core (was testing for notifier initialization
	in current thread by checking thread id != 0 but thread id is always 0
	in untreaded core).

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_WaitForEvent): sync with HEAD: only declare
	and use timeout var in unthreaded core.

	* unix/Makefile.in: added @PLAT_SRCS@ to SRCS and split out
	NOTIFY_SRCS from UNIX_SRCS for parity with UNIX_OBJS & NOTIFY_OBJS.

	* unix/configure.in: only run check for broken strstr implementation
	if AC_REPLACE_FUNCS(strstr) hasn't already determined that strstr is
	unavailable, otherwise compat/strstr.o will be used twice (resulting
	in duplicate symbol link errors on Mac OS X 10.1)

	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): added configure checks for recently added
	linker flags -single_module and -search_paths_first to allow building
	with older tools (and on Mac OS X 10.1), use -single_module in
	SHLIB_LD and not just T{CL,K}_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS, added unexporting from
	Tk of symbols from libtclstub to avoid duplicate symbol warnings,
	added PLAT_SRCS definition for Mac OS X.
	(SC_MISSING_POSIX_HEADERS): added caching of dirent.h check.
	(SC_TCL_64BIT_FLAGS): fixed 'checking for off64_t' message output.

	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13

2005-04-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	Corrected intrep-dependence of
	* tests/string.test:	[string is boolean] [Bug 1187123]

2005-04-22  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/unixInit.test (7.1): fixed failure when running tests with
	-tmpdir arg not set to working dir.

2005-04-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclGet.c (Tcl_GetInt):	Corrected error that did not
	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetIntFromObj): permit 0x80000000 to be
	recognized as an integer on TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG systems [Bug 1090869]

2005-04-19  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-6.2): remove -blocking 1 as this one
	can truly block.

2005-04-19  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/tclWinPipe.c: The pipe channel driver now respects the -blocking
	option when closing. The windows pipe driver now has the same behavior
	as the UNIX side. This change is to avoid a hung shell when exiting
	due to open pipes that refuse to close in a graceful manner.
	* doc/open.n: Added a note about -blocking 0 and lack of exit status
	as it had never been documented. [Bug 947693]

	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***

	Scripts that use async pipes on windows, must (like the UNIX side) set
	-blocking to 1 before calling [close] to receive the exit status.

	* tests/winPipe.test (winpipe-6.1/2): added 'fconfigure $f -blocking
	1' so the exit status can be acquired.

2005-04-13  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelBufferSize): Lowest size limit
	* tests/io.test:	changed from ten bytes to one byte. Need for
	* tests/iogt.test:	this change was proven by Ross Cartlidge
	<rossc@cisco.com> where [read stdin 1] was grabbing 10 bytes followed
	by starting a child process that was intended to continue reading from
	stdin. Even with -buffersize set to one, nine chars were getting lost
	by the buffersize over reading for the native read() caused by [read].

2005-04-12  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* compat/strstr.c: Added default definition of NULL to accommodate
	building on systems with badly broken headers. [Bug 1175161]

2005-04-09  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/README: updated requirements for OS & developer tool versions
	+ other small fixes/cleanup.

	* unix/tcl.m4 (Darwin): added -single_module linker flag to
	TCL_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS and TK_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS.
	* unix/configure: autoconf-2.13

2005-04-05  Zoran Vasiljevic  <vasiljevic@users.sourceforge.net>

	Set of changes correcting huge memory waste (not a leak) when a thread
	exits. This has been introduced in 8.4.7 within an attempt to
	correctly cleanup after ourselves when Tcl library is being unloaded
	with the Tcl_Finalize() call.

	This fixes the [Bug 1178445].

	* generic/tclInt.h: added prototypes for TclpFreeAllocCache() and
	TclFreeAllocCache()

	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: modified TclFinalizeThreadAlloc() to
	explicitly call TclpFreeAllocCache with the NULL-ptr as argument
	signalling cleanup of private tsd key used only by the threading
	allocator.

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: fixed TclpFreeAllocCache() to recognize when
	being called with NULL argument. This is a signal for it to clean up
	the tsd key associated with the threading allocator.

	* win/tclWinThrd.c: renamed TclWinFreeAllocCache to TclpFreeAllocCache
	and fixed to recognize when being called with NULL argument. This is a
	signal for it to clean up the tsd key associated with the threading
	allocator.

2005-04-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprSrandFunc):	Replaced incursions into the
	* generic/tclUtil.c (TclGetIntForIndex): intreps of numeric types with
	simpler calls of Tcl_GetIntFromObj and Tcl_GetLongFromObj, now that
	those routines are better behaved wrt shimmering. [Patch 1177129]

2005-03-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tcl.m4, win/configure: do not require cygpath in macros to
	allow msys alone as an alternative.

	* win/tclWinTime.c (TclpGetDate): use time_t for 'time' [Bug 1163422]

2005-03-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIncrCmd):	Corrected checks for
	immediate operand usage to permit leading space and sign characters.
	Restores more efficient bytecode for [incr x -1] that got lost in the
	CONST string reforms of Tcl 8.4. [Bug 1165671]

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalEx,TclEvalTokensStandard):
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj):
	* tests/basic.test (basic-46.4):	Restored recursion limit
	* tests/parse.test (parse-19.*):	testing in nested command
	substitutions within direct script evaluation (Tcl_EvalEx) that got
	lost in the parser reforms of Tcl 8.1. Added tests for correct
	behavior. [Bug 1115904]

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBC-INST_LSHIFT,INST_RSHIFT): Ensure that
	large shifts end up shifting correctly. [Bug 868467]

2004-09-15  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/load.test (load-2.3): adopted fix for failure on darwin from
	HEAD.

2004-09-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_GetIntFromObj):	Corrected flaw in returning
	the int value of a wideInteger. [Bug 1027690]

2004-09-10  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclObj.c (SetIntOrWideFromAny): Rewritten integral value
	parsing code so that values do not flip so easily between numeric
	representations. Thanks to KBK for this! [Bug 868489]

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Seek): Make sure wide seeks do not fail to set
	::errorCode on error. [Bug 1025359]

2004-09-10  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tcl.h: Micro formatting fixes.
	* generic/tclIOGT.c: Channel version fixed, must be 3, to have
	wideseekProc. Thanks to David Graveraux <davygrvy@pobox.com>.

2004-09-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclNamespace.c (TclGetNamespaceForQualName):	Resolved
	longstanding inconsistency in the treatment of the TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY
	flag revealed by testing the 2004-09-09 commits against Itcl.
	TCL_NAMESPACE_ONLY now acts as specified in the pre-function
	comment, forcing resolution in the passed in context namespace. It has
	been incorrectly forcing resolution in the interp's current namespace.

2004-09-10  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_CONCAT1): added a peephole optimisation
	for concatting an empty string. This enables replacing the idiom 'K $x
	[set x {}]' by '$x[set x {}]' for fastest execution.

2004-09-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_ForgetImport): Corrected faulty logic that
	* tests/namespace.test:	relied exclusively on string matching and
	failed in the presence of [rename]s. [Bug 560297]
	Also corrected faulty prevention of [namespace import] cycles. [Bug
	1017299]

2004-09-08  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* compat/strftime.c (_conv): Corrected a problem where hour 0 would
	format as a blank format group with %k.
	* tests/clock.test (clock-41.1): Added regression test case for %k at
	the zero hour.

2004-09-07  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* generic/tclTimer.c: Removed a premature optimisation that attempted
	to store the assoc data in the client data; the optimisation caused a
	bug that [after] would overwrite its imports. [Bug 1016167]

2004-09-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* doc/lsearch.n: Clarified meaning of -dictionary. [Bug 759545]

2004-09-01  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tclWinReg.c (BroadcastValue): WIN64 cast corrections

	* win/tclWinDde.c (DdeClientWindowProc):
	(DdeServicesOnAck, DdeEnumWindowsCallback): WIN64 corrections

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclWinCPUID): need _asm for WIN64 (Itanium),
	until we have it, just return unknown. [Bug 1020445]

2004-08-30  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): Stop [string map] from
	crashing when its map and input string are the same object.

2004-08-27  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/env.test: macosx fixes.

2004-08-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclScan.c (Tcl_ScanObjCmd, ValidateFormat): Ensure that the
	%ld conversion works correctly on 64-bit platforms. [Bug 1011860]

2004-08-16  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* doc/SetVar.3:
	* generic/tclTest.c (TestseterrorcodeCmd):
	* generic/tclVar.c (TclPtrSetVar):
	* tests/result.test (result-4.*, result-5.*): [Bug 1008314]
	detected and fixed by dgp.

2004-08-13  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:	Added checks to prevent [mclocale]
	* tests/msgcat.test:	from registering filesystem paths to possibly
	malicious code to be evaluated by a later [mcload].
	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:	Bump to msgcat 1.3.3

2004-08-10  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpThreadCreate): changed handling of the
	returned thread ID since broken on 64-bit systems (Cray). Thanks to
	Rob Ratcliff for reporting the bug.

2004-07-30  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize):	Re-organized Tcl_Finalize so
	that Tcl_ExitProc's that call Tcl_Finalize recursively do not cause
	deadlock. [Patch 999084, fixes Tk Bug 714956]

2004-07-30  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/configure:
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Darwin: instead of setting PLAT_OBJS
	to explict object files in tcl.m4, refer to MAC_OSX_OBJS makefile var.
	* unix/Makefile.in: added MAC_OSX_OBJS variable.

2004-07-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclMain.c (Tcl_Main, StdinProc):  Append newline only to
	* tests/basic.test (basic-46.1):	    incomplete scripts as part
	of multi-line script construction. Do not add an extra trailing
	newline to the complete script. [Bug 833150]

2004-07-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	*** 8.4.7 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***

	* tests/io.test (io-61.1): create file in binary mode for x-plat.

2004-07-25  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: Moved the tclInt.h include to provide
	Tcl_Panic which is now required for non-threaded build.

2004-07-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/eofchar.data (removed):	Test io-61.1 now generates its own
	* tests/io.test:	file of test data as needed.

2004-07-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
	* win/tclWinDde.c:		Bump to dde 1.2.3 to cover changes
	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:	committed on 2004-06-14.

	* changes:	Updated for Tcl 8.4.7 release.

2004-07-20  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclEvent.c:	    Correct threaded obj allocator to
	* generic/tclInt.h:	    fully cleanup on exit and allow for
	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: reinitialization. [Bug 736426]
	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:	    (mistachkin, kenny)
	* win/tclWinThrd.c:

2004-07-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tcl.m4: fixed Darwin autoconf breakage caused by recent CFLAGS
	reordering.
	* unix/configure: regen

	* unix/tclConfig.sh.in: replaced EXTRA_CFLAGS with CFLAGS.
	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: replaced EXTRA_CFLAGS with DEFS.

	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c: dynamically acquire address for
	CFBundleOpenBundleResourceMap symbol, since it is only present in
	full CoreFoundation on Mac OS X and not in CFLite on pure Darwin.

2004-07-19  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* unix/Makefile.in, unix/tcl.m4:     move (C|LD)FLAGS after their
	* unix/configure.in, unix/configure: _DEFAULT to allow for env setting
	to override m4 switches.
	Consolidate header checks to limit redundancy in configure.
	(CFLAGS_WARNING): Remove -Wconversion, add -fno-strict-aliasing for
	gcc builds (need to suppress 3.x type puning warnings).
	(SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Set m4 to force threaded build when built against
	a threaded Tcl core.
	Reorder configure.in for better 64-bit build configuration, replacing
	EXTRA_CFLAGS with CFLAGS. [Bug 874058]

2004-07-19  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>

	* win/tclwinThrd.c: redefined MASTER_LOCK to call TclpMasterLock.
	Fixes [Bug 987967]

2004-07-16  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_FcopyObjCmd): Corrected a typo in the
	generation of error messages and simplified by reusing data in a
	variable instead of retrieving the string again. Fixes [Bug 835289]

	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Added description of the behaviour of
	Tcl_ReadChars when its 'charsToRead' argument is set to -1. Fixes [Bug
	934511]

	* doc/CrtCommand.3: Added note that the arguments given to the command
	proc of a Tcl_CreateCommand are in utf8 since Tcl 8.1. Closing [Patch
	414778]

	* doc/ChnlStack.3: Removed the declaration that the interp argument to
	Tcl_(un)StackChannel can be NULL. This fixes [Bug 881220], reported by
	Marco Maggi <marcomaggi@users.sourceforge.net>.

	* tests/socket.test: Accepted two new testcases by Stuart Casoff
	<stwo@users.sourceforge.net> checking that -server and -async don't go
	together [Bug 796534]

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (NotifierThreadProc): Accepted Joe Mistachkin's
	patch for [Bug 990500], properly closing the notifier thread when its
	exits.

2004-07-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpFinalizeMutex): Accepted Joe Mistachkin's
	patch for [Bug 990453], closing leakage of mutexes. They were not
	destroyed properly upon finalization.

2004-07-15  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclEvent.c (NewThreadProc): Backout of changes to fix [Bug
	770053]. See SF bugreport for more info.

	* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier): Added conditional
	notifier finalization based on the fact that an TclInitNotifier has
	been called for the current thread. This fixes [Bug 770053] again.
	Hopefully this time w/o unwanted side-effects.

2004-07-14  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclIO.h (CHANNEL_INCLOSE):	   New flag. Set in Tcl_Close
	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_UnregisterChannel): while the close callbacks
	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_Close):		   are run. Checked in
	Tcl_Close and Tcl_Unregister to prevent recursive call of [close] in
	the close-callbacks. This is a possible error made by implementors of
	virtual filesystems based on 'tclvfs', thinking that they have to
	close the channel in the close handler for the filesystem.

2004-07-14  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c:
	* generic/tclIO.h:
	Not reverting, but #ifdef'ing the changes from May 19, 2004 out of the
	core. This removes the ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for channel
	drivers it introduced. This has become possible due to Expect gaining
	a BlockModeProc and now handling blockingg and non-blocking modes
	correctly. Thus [Bug 943274] is still fixed if a recent enough version
	of Expect is used.

	* doc/CrtChannel.3: Added warning about usage of a channel without a
	BlockModeProc.

2004-07-15  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@pliers.activestate.com>

	* generic/tclIOCmd.c (Tcl_PutsObjCmd): Added length check to the old
	depreceated newline syntax, to ensure that only "nonewline" is
	accepted. [Bug 985869] (mistachkin)

2004-07-13  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* README, generic/tcl.h, tools/tcl.wse.in:	      bumped to
	* unix/configure, unix/configure.in, unix/tcl.spec:   patchlevel
	* win/README.binary, win/configure, win/configure.in: 8.4.7

2004-07-13  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclEvent.c (NewThreadProc): Fixed broken build on Windows
	caused by missing TCL_THREAD_CREATE_RETURN. This is backported from
	HEAD. Thnx to Kevin Kenny for spotting this.

2004-07-03  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprRoundFunc):
	* tests/expr-old.test (39.1): added support for wide integers to
	round(); [Bug 908375], reported by Hemang Lavana.

2004-07-02  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/regcomp.c (stid): correct minor pointer size error

	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCreatePipeline): Add 2>@1 as a special
	* tests/exec.test: case redir of stderr to the result output.

2004-07-02  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/fileSystem.test: new tests backported
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: compilation fix for VC++5.2

2004-06-29  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* library/safe.tcl: Make sure that the temporary variable is
	local to the namespace and not inadvertently global. [Bug 981733]

2004-06-22  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclEvent.c:
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c:
	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
	* win/tclWinThrd.c: See bug report for more information about what it
	does. [Bug 770053]

	* tests/unixNotfy.test: rewritten to use tcltest::threadReap to
	gracefully wait for the test thread to exit. Otherwise we got a race
	condition with main thread exiting before the test thread. This
	exposed the long-standing Tcl lib issue with resource
	garbage-collection on application exit.

2004-06-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (DllMain, _except_dllmain_detach_handler)
	(TclpCheckStackSpace, _except_checkstackspace_handler, TclWinCPUID)
	(_except_TclWinCPUID_detach_handler):
	* win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel)
	(_except_makefilechannel_handler):
	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, _except_dorenamefile_handler)
	(DoCopyFile, _except_docopyfile_handler):
	Rework pushing of exception handler function pointer so that compiling
	with gcc -O3 works. Remove empty function call to avoid compiler
	warning. Mark the DllMain function as noinline to avoid compiler error
	from duplicated asm labels in generated code.

2004-06-14  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/winDde.test: Fixed -async test
	* win/tclWinDde.c: Backported the fix from 8.5 to avoid hanging in the
	presence of applications that do not process Window messages.

2004-06-10  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclDecls.h:	     Regenerated on a unix box. The Win/DOS
	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:     EOLs from the last regen screwed up
	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: compilation with an older gcc.
	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

2004-06-10  Zoran Vasiljevic <vasiljevic@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: partially corrected [Bug 932314]. Also,
	corrected return values of Tcl_FSChdir() to reflect those of the
	underlying platform-specific call. Originally, return codes were mixed
	with those of Tcl.

2004-06-08  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCompile.c: handle warning [Bug 969066]

2004-06-05  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* generic/tcl.h: Corrected Tcl_WideInt declarations so that the mingw
	build works again.
	* generic/tclDecls.h:			Changes to the tests for
	* generic/tclInt.decls:			clock frequency in Tcl_WinTime
	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:		so that any clock frequency is
	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:		accepted provided that all
	* generic/tclPlatDecls.h:		CPU's in the system share a
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:		common chip, and hence,
	* tests/platform.test (platform-1.3):	presumably, a common clock.
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclWinCPUID):	This change necessitated a
	* win/tclWinTest.c (TestwincpuidCmd)	small burst of assembly code
	* win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_GetTime):	to read CPU ID information,
	which was added as TclWinCPUID in the internal Stubs. To test this
	code in the common case of a single-processor machine, a
	'testwincpuid' command was added to tclWinTest.c, and a test case in
	platform.test. Thanks to Jeff Godfrey and Richard Suchenwirth for
	reporting this bug. [Bug 976722]

2004-05-27  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* tests/clock.test: Added a single test for the presence of %G in
	[clock format], and conditioned out the clock-10.x series if they're
	all going to fail because of a broken strftime() call. [Bug 961714]

2004-05-27  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

	* generic/tclEncoding.c:
	* tests/encoding.test: added support and tests for translating
	embedded null characters between real nullbytes and the internal
	representation on input/output. [Bug 949905]

2004-05-26  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Correction to debug prints and testing
	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:	if TCLTEST_OPTIONS value. Corrected
	* tests/tcltest.test:		double increment of numTestFiles in
	-singleproc 1 configurations. Updated tcltest-19.1 to tcltest 2.1
	behavior. Corrected tcltest-25.3 to not falsely report a failure in
	tcltest.test. Bumped to tcltest 2.2.6. [Bugs 960560, 960926]

2004-05-25  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* doc/http.n (http::config): add -urlencoding option (default utf-8)
	* library/http/http.tcl:     that specifies encoding conversion of
	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: args for http::formatQuery.  Previously
	* tests/http.test:	     undefined, RFC 2718 says it should be
	utf-8. 'http::config -urlencoding {}' returns previous behavior,
	which will throw errors processing non-latin-1 chars. Bumped http
	package to 2.5.0.

2004-05-25  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* tests/winFCmd.test: Correct test for the presence of a CD-ROM so
	that it doesn't misdetect some other sort of filesystem with a
	write-protected root as being a CD-ROM drive. [Bug 918267]

2004-05-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (VerifyExprObjType): use GET_WIDE_OR_INT to
	properly have tclIntType used for smaller values. This corrects TclX
	bug 896727 and any other 3rd party extension that created math
	functions but was not yet WIDE_INT aware in them.

2004-05-24  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* doc/set.n: accurate description of name resolution process,
	referring to namespace.n for details [Bug 959180]

2004-05-22  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclVar.c (TclObjUnsetVar2): backported fix [Bug 735335] and
	new (in tcl8.4) exteriorisations of [Bug 736729] due to the use of
	tclNsVarNameType obj types. The consequences of [Bug 736729] should be
	the same as in tcl8.3 and previous versions. The use of
	tclNsVarNameType objs is still disabled, pending a decision by the
	release manager.

2004-05-19  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): fix for an issue where
	there was a sneak path from Tcl_DStringFree to SetErrorCode(0). The
	result was that the error code could be reset between a call to
	FindFirstFile and the check of its status return, leading to a bizarre
	error return of {POSIX unknown {No error}}. (Found in unplanned test -
	no incident logged at SourceForge.)

2004-05-19  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c: Fixed [SF Tcl Bug 943274]. This is the same problem
	* generic/tclIO.h: as [SF Tcl Bug 462317], see ChangeLog entry
	2001-09-26. The fix done at that time is incomplete. It is possible to
	get around it if the actual read operation is defered and not executed
	in the event handler itself. Instead of tracking if we are in an read
	caused by a synthesized fileevent we now track if the OS has delivered
	a true event = actual data and bypass the driver if a read finds that
	there is no actual data waiting. The flag is cleared by a short or
	full read. [[this bug amended 2004-07-14]]

2004-05-18  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* compat/strftime.c (_fmt, ISO8601Week):
	* doc/clock.n:
	* tests/clock.test: Major rework to the handling of ISO8601 week
	numbers. Now passes all the %G and %V test cases on Windows, Linux and
	Solaris [Bugs 500285, 500389, and 852944]

2004-05-17  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb.@acm.org>

	* generic/tclInt.decls:	     Restored TclpTime_t kludge to all places
	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: where it appeared before the changes of
	* unix/tclUnixPort.h	     14 May, because use of native time_t in
	* unix/tclUnixTime.h	     its place requires the 8.5 header
	* win/tclWinTime.h:	     reforms. [Bug 955146]

2004-05-17  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3: Documented type of 'offset' argument to Tcl_Seek
	was wrong. [Bug 953374]

2004-05-14  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* generic/tclInt.decls:	     Promoted TclpLocaltime and TclpGmtime
	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:     from Unix-specific stubs to the generic
	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: internal Stubs table. Reran 'genstubs'
	* generic/tclStubInit.c:
	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:

	* generic/tclClock.c: Changed a buggy 'GMT' timezone specification to
			      the correct 'GMT0'. [Bug 922848]

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Moved TclpGmtime and TclpLocaltime to
			      unix/tclUnixTime.c where they belong.

	* unix/tclUnixTime.c (TclpGmtime, TclpLocaltime, TclpGetTimeZone,
	(ThreadSafeGMTime[removed], ThreadSafeLocalTime[removed],
	(SetTZIfNecessary, CleanupMemory): Restructured to make sure that the
	same mutex protects all calls to localtime, gmtime, and tzset. Added a
	check in front of those calls to make sure that the TZ env var hasn't
	changed since the last call to tzset, and repeat tzset if necessary.
	[Bug 940278] Removed a buggy test of the Daylight Saving Time
	information in 'gettimeofday' in favor of applying 'localtime' to a
	known value. [Bug 922848]

	* tests/clock.test (clock-3.14): Added test to make sure that changes
	to $env(TZ) take effect immediately.

	* win/tclWinTime.c (TclpLocaltime, TclpGmtime): Added porting layer
	for 'localtime' and 'gmtime' calls.

2004-05-10  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Append a space when the path
	got primed.
	(TclpCreateProcess): When under NT, with no console, and executing a
	DOS application, the path priming does not need an ending space as
	BuildCommandLine() will append one for us.

2004-05-07  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* doc/unset.n: added upvar.n to the "see also" list

2004-05-05  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* generic/tclEvent.c: TclSetLibraryPath's use of caching the stringrep
	of the pathPtr object to TclGetLibraryPath called from another thread
	was ineffective if the original's stringrep had been invalidated as
	what happens when it gets muted to a list.

	* generic/tclEncoding.c: Added FreeEncoding(systemEncoding) in
	TclFinalizeEncodingSubsystem because its ref count was incremented in
	TclInitEncodingSubsystem.

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: Structured Exception Handling added around
	Tcl_Finalize called from DllMain's DLL_PROCESS_DETACH. We can't be
	100% assured that Tcl is being unloaded by the OS in a stable
	condition and we need to protect the exit handlers should the stack be
	in a hosed state. AT&T style assembly for SEH under MinGW included,
	too. [Patch 858493]

	Also added DisableThreadLibraryCalls() for the DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH
	case. We're not interested in knowing about DLL_THREAD_ATTACH, so
	disable the notices.

	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclThread.c:
	* generic/tclEvent.c:
	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
	* win/tclWinThrd.c:  Provisions made so masterLock, initLock,
	allocLock and joinLock mutexes can be recovered during Tcl_Finalize.

	* win/tclWinSock.c:
	(SocketThreadExitHandler): Don't call TerminateThread when
	WaitForSingleObject returns a timeout. Tcl_Finalize called from
	DllMain will pause all threads. Trust that the thread will get the
	close notice at a later time if it does ever wake up before being
	cleaned up by the system anyway.
	(SocketEventProc): connect errors should fire both the readable and
	writable handlers because this is how it works on UNIX. [Bug 794839]

	* win/coffbase.txt: Added the tls extension to the list of preferred
	load addresses.

2004-05-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.10): Test correction for Mac OSX.
	Be sure to consistently compare normalized path names. Thanks to
	Steven Abner (tauvan). [Bug 948177]

2004-05-05  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* doc/CrtObjCmd.3: Remove reference to Tcl_RenameCommand; there is no
	such API. [Bug 848440]

2004-05-04  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSChdir):  Work-around crash condition
	* tests/winFCmd.test (winFCmd-16.12): triggered when $HOME is
	volumerelative (ie 'C:').

	* tests/fileName.test (filename-12.9): use C:/ instead of the first
	item in file volumes - that's usually A:/, which for most will have
	nothing in it.

2004-05-04  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/tcltest.test: Test corrections for Mac OSX.  Thanks to Steven
	Abner (tauvan). [Bug 947440]

2004-05-03  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	Applied [SF Tcl Patch 868853], fixing a mem leak in TtySetOptionProc.

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace):
	* tests/stack.test (stack-3.1): Fix for undetected stack overflow in
	TclReExec on Windows. [Bug 947070]

2004-05-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/init.tcl:	Corrected unique prefix matching of
	interactive command completion in [unknown]. [Bug 946952]

2004-05-02  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclProc.c (TclObjInvokeProc):
	* tests/proc.test (proc-3.6): fix for bad quoting of multi-word proc
	names in error messages [Bug 942757]

2004-04-23  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_SetChannelOption): Fixed [Bug 930851]. When
	changing the eofchar we have to zap the related flags to prevent them
	from prematurely aborting the next read.

2004-04-07  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/configure:
	* win/configure.in: define TCL_LIB_FLAG, TCL_BUILD_LIB_SPEC,
	TCL_LIB_SPEC and TCL_PACKAGE_PATH in tclConfig.sh.

2004-04-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-3.1):	Default encoding on Darwin
	systems is utf-8. Thanks to Steven Abner (tauvan). [Bug 928808]

2004-04-06  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* tests/cmdAH.test (cmdAH-18.2): Added constraint because
	access(...,X_OK) is defined to be permitted to be meaningless when
	running as root, and OSX exhibits this. [Bug 929892]

2004-04-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/tcltest.test: Corrected constraint typos: "nonRoot" ->
	"notRoot". Thanks to Steven Abner (tauvan). [Bug 928353]

2004-03-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/msgcat.n: Clarified message catalog file encodings. [Bug 811457]
	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl ([mcset], [ConvertLocale], [Init]):
	Corrected [mcset] to be able to successfully set a translation to
	the empty string. [mcset $loc $src {}] was incorrectly set the $loc
	translation of $src back to $src. Also changed [ConvertLocale] to
	minimally require a non-empty "language" part in the locale value. If
	not, an error raised prompts [Init] to keep looking for a valid locale
	value, or ultimately fall back on the "C" locale. [Bug 811461]
	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:	Bump to msgcat 1.3.2.

2004-03-31  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclObj.c (HashObjKey): Make sure this hashes the whole
	string rep of the object, instead of missing the last character.

2004-03-29  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclFindEncodings, Tcl_FindExecutable):
	* mac/tclMacInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath):   Correct handling of UTF
	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpInitLibraryPath): data that is actually

	that contain multi-byte chars on Windows [Bug 920667]

2004-03-28  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript): corrected possible segfault
	when a compilation returns TCL_OUTLINE_COMPILE after having grown the
	compile environment. [Bug 925121]

2004-03-21  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tclWinInt.h: define VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_CE if not already set.
	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings): recognize WIN32_CE
	as a unicode (WCHAR) platform.

2004-03-15  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript):
	* tests/compile.test (compile-3.5): corrected wrong test and behaviour
	in the earlier fix for [Bug 705406]; Don Porter reported this as [Bug
	735055], and provided the solution. Fixed in HEAD on 2003-05-09, but
	backport to 8-4-branch was wrongly omitted; re-reported as [Bug
	916795] by Roy Terry, diagnosed by dgp.

2004-03-08  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclFileName.c:  Fix to 'glob -path' near the root

	IRIX64-6.5* systems. [Bug 218561]
	* unix/configure:	autoconf-2.13

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TclCheckInterpTraces):	The TIP 62
	* generic/tclTest.c (TestcmdtraceCmd):	implementation introduced a
	* tests/basic.test (basic-39.10):	bug by testing the CallFrame
	level instead of the iPtr->numLevels level when deciding what traces
	created by Tcl_Create(Obj)Trace to call. Added test to expose the
	error, and made fix. [Request 462580]

2004-02-26  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Makefile: fixed copyright year in Tcl.framework Info.plist

2004-02-25  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/basic.test:	Made several tests more robust to the
	* tests/cmdMZ.test:	list-quoting of path names that might

	* tests/winPipe.test:
	* win/tclWinPipe.c: backport of BuildCommandLine changes to mirror
	msvcrt's parse_cmdline() rules of quoting.

2004-02-19  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinInit.c (AppendEnvironment): Use the tail component of the
	passed in lib path instead of just blindly using lib+4. That worked
	when lib was "lib/..." but fails for other values. Thanks go to
	Patrick Samson for pointing this out.

2004-02-17  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/tcltest.n:
	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Changed -verbose default value to
	{body error} so that detailed information on unexpected errors in
	tests is provided by default, even after the fix for [Bug 725253]

2004-02-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	(reverted due to test failures on Solaris, but not Win/Lin :/)

	buffer. [Bug 405995]

2004-01-13  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_GlobObjCmd):  Latest changes to
	management of the interp result by Tcl_GetIndexFromObj() exposed
	improper interp result management in the [glob] command procedure.
	Corrected by adopting the Tcl_SetObjResult(Tcl_NewStringObj) pattern.
	This stopped a segfault in test filename-11.36.

2004-01-13  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct, Tcl_WrongNumArgs):
	Create fresh objects instead of using the one currently in the
	interpreter, which isn't guaranteed to be fresh and unshared. The
	cost for the core will be minimal because of the object cache, and
	this fixes. [Bug 875395]

2004-01-09  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to infinite loop in TclFinalizeFilesystem.

				glibc. [Bug 852369]

2003-12-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tcl.h:	Bumped patch level to 8.4.5.1 to distinguish

2003-12-02  Donal K. Fellows  <donal.k.fellows@man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclBinary.c (DeleteScanNumberCache, ScanNumber): Made
	the numeric scan-value cache have proper references to the objects
	within it so strange patterns of writes won't cause references to
	freed objects. Thanks to Paul Obermeier for the report. [Bug 851747]

2003-11-12  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* tests/cmdMZ.test (cmdMZ-1.4): change to nonPortable as more
	systems are using permissions caching, and this isn't really a Tcl
	controlled issue.

2003-11-11  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* unix/configure:
	* unix/tcl.m4: improve AIX --enable-64bit handling

	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl:	and dde packages are not offered
	* win/tclWinDde.c:	on non-Windows platforms.  Bumped to
	* win/tclWinReg.c:	registry 1.1.3 and dde 1.2.2.

2003-11-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* tests/unixInit.test (unixInit-2.10): mark as knownBug
	* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclFindEncodings): revert patch from
	2003-11-05.  It wasn't valid in the sensitive startup init phase
	and broke Windows from working at all.

2003-11-07  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Makefile: optimized builds define NDEBUG to turn off
	ThreadAlloc range checking.

2003-11-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclFindEncodings):	Normalize the path
	of the executable before passing to TclpInitLibraryPath() to avoid

	error messages) is freed in both code paths.

2003-10-23  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel): Applied [Patch 813606]
	fixing [Bug 813087]. Detection of sockets was off for Mac OS X which
	implements pipes as local sockets. The new code ensures that only IP
	sockets are detected as such.

2003-10-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* win/tclWinSock.c (TcpWatchProc): Watch for FD_CLOSE too when asked
	for writable events by the generic layer.
	(SocketEventProc): Generate a writable event too when a close is
	detected.

	Together the changes fix [Bug 599468].

2003-10-22  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (FsListMounts, FsAddMountsToGlobResult): New

	enumeration to FCMD_ to prevent collision with symbols defined by
	Cygwin/Mingw32 on NT. [Bug 822528]

2003-10-21   Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: fixed incorrect html generated for .IP/.TP
	lists, now use <DL><DT>...<DD>...<P><DT>...<DD>...</DL> instead of
	illegal <DL><P><DT>...<DD>...<P><DT>...<DD>...</DL>. Added skipping of
	directives directly after .TP to avoid them being used as item
	descriptions, e.g. .TP\n.VS in clock.n.

2003-10-21  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* win/tclWinPipe.c (BuildCommandLine): Applied the patch coming with
	[Bug 805605] to the code, fixing the incorrect use of ispace noted by
	Ronald Dauster <ronaldd@users.sourceforge.net>.

	value of alarm. [Bug 664755] (english)

2003-10-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Save and restore the iPtr->flag bits that
	control the state of errorCode and errorInfo management when calling
	"leave" execution traces, so that all error information of the traced
	command is still available whether traced or not. Thanks to Yahalom
	Emet. [Bug 760947]

2003-10-08  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclTest.c (TestNumUtfCharsCmd): Command to allow finer
	access to Tcl_NumUtfChars for testing.
	* generic/tclUtf.c (Tcl_NumUtfChars): Corrected string length
	determining when the length parameter is negative; the terminator is a
	zero byte, not (necessarily) a \u0000 character. [Bug 769812]

2003-10-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/exec.test:		Corrected temporary file management

	to reflect that they now return Tcl_WideInt (TIP 72) [Bug 787537]

	happens, not for any particular result. [Bug 685991]

	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_TCLCONFIG):	Corrected search path so
	that alpha and beta releases of Tcl are not favored. [Bug 608698]

2003-10-04  Chengye Mao <chengye.geo@yahoo.com>

	* win/tclWinPipe.c: fixed a bug in BuildCommandLine.
	This bug built a command line with a missing space between
	tclpipe.dll and the following arguments.  It caused error
	in Windows 98 when exec command.com (e.g. dir) [Bug 789040]

2003-10-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Fixed error in ref count management of command
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	and execution traces that caused access to
	freed memory in trace-32.1. [Bug 811483]

2003-10-03  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/fileName.test:
	* tests/winFCmd.test:
	* doc/FileSystem.3: backported various test and documentation changes
	from HEAD. Backport of actual code fixes to follow.

2003-10-02  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* README:		Bumped patch level to 8.4.5 to prepare
	* generic/tcl.h:	for next patch release.
	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tcl.spec:
	* win/README.binary:
	* win/configure.in:

	* unix/configure:	autoconf (2.13)
	* win/configure:

	* library/http/http.tcl:	Bumped to http 2.4.5
	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl:

2003-10-01  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Makefile: fixed redo prebinding bug when DESTDIR="".
	* mac/tclMacResource.c: fixed possible NULL dereference (bdesgraupes).

2003-09-29  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (CallCommandTraces):	Added safety bit
	* tests/trace.test:	masking to prevent any of the bit values
	TCL_TRACE_*_EXEC from leaking into the flags field of any Command
	struct. This does not fix [Bug 811483] but helps to contain some of
	its worst symptoms. Also backported the corrections to test trace-28.4
	from Vince Darley.

2003-09-29  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* library/http/http.tcl (geturl): Correctly check the type of
	boolean-valued options. [Bug 811170]

	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_FRAMEWORK): Added note to make it clearer
	that this is an OSX feature, not a general Unix feature. [Bug 619440]

2003-09-28  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/tclWinPipe.c: The windows port of expect can call
	TclWinAddProcess before any of the other pipe functions. Added a
	missing PipeInit() call to make sure the initialization happens.

2003-09-25  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Makefile: ensure SYMROOT exists if OBJROOT is overridden on
	command line. Replaced explict use of /usr/bin by ${BINDIR}.

2003-09-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:			Fixed [Bug 807243] where
	* tests/trace.test (trace-31,32.*):	the introspection results
	of both [trace info command] and [trace info execution] were getting
	co-mingled.  Thanks to Mark Saye for the report.

	* library/init.tcl (auto_load, auto_import):  Expanded Eric Melski's
	2000-01-28 fix for [Bug 218871] to all potentially troubled uses of
	[info commands] on input data, where glob-special characters could
	cause problems.

2003-09-19  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c: adding (DE)CACHE_STACK_INFO() pairs to protect
	all calls that may cause traces on ::errorInfo or ::errorCode to
	corrupt the stack [Bug 804681]

2003-09-10  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/opt/optparse.tcl:	Overlooked dependence of opt 0.4.4
	* library/opt/pkgIndex.tcl:	on Tcl 8.2.  Bumped to opt 0.4.4.1.

2003-09-01  Zoran Vasiljevic <zoran@archiware.com>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: backported fix from HEAD [Bug 788780]

2003-08-27  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclUtil.c:	Corrected [Bug 411825] and other bugs in
	TclNeedSpace() where non-breaking space (\u00A0) and backslash-escaped
	spaces were handled incorrectly.
	* tests/util.test:	Added new tests util-8.[2-6].

2003-08-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tclWinInit.c: recognize amd64 and ia32_on_win64 cpus and
	Windows CE platform.

2003-08-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl:	Added escape so that non-Windows
	* library/msgcat/pkgIndex.tcl:	platforms do not try to use the
	registry package.  This can save a costly and pointless package
	search. Bumped to 1.3.1. Thanks to Dave Bodenstab. [Bug 781609]

2003-08-05  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_INVOKE, INST_EVAL, INST_PUSH_RESULT):
	added a Tcl_ResetResult(interp) at each point where the interp's
	result is pushed onto the stack, to avoid keeping an extra reference
	that may cause costly Tcl_Obj duplication. Detected by Franco Violi,
	analyzed by Peter Spjuth and Donal Fellows. [Bug 781585]

2003-07-24  Reinhard Max  <max@suse.de>

	* library/package.tcl: Fixed a typo that broke pkg_mkIndex -verbose.

	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Added a test for [pkg_mkIndex -verbose].

2003-07-23  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/Makefile.in: changes to html-tcl & html-tk targets for
	compatibility with non-gnu makes.

	* unix/Makefile.in: added macosx/README to dist target.

2003-07-23  Pat Thoyts  <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinReg.c (OpenSubKey): Backported fix for [Bug 775976] which
	causes the registry set command to fail when built with VC7.
	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Incremented the version to 1.1.2.

2003-07-21  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	*** 8.4.4 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***

	* changes: updated for 8.4.4 release

2003-07-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Makefile: added option to allow installing manpages in
	addition to default html help.

2003-07-18  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/Utf.3: Tightened up documentation of Tcl_UtfNext and Tcl_UtfPrev
	to better match the behaviour. [Bug 769895]

2003-07-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: correct MT-safety issues with filesystem
	records. [Bug 753315] (vasiljevic)

	* library/http/pkgIndex.tcl: merged to v2.4.4 from head
	* library/http/http.tcl: add support for user:pass info in URL.
	* tests/http.test:	 [Bug 759888] (shiobara)

2003-07-18  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:	Corrected several instances of unsafe
	* generic/tclCompile.c:	truncation of UTF-8 strings that might break
	* generic/tclProc.c:	apart a multi-byte character. [Bug 760872]
	* library/init.tcl:
	* tests/init.test:

	* doc/tcltest.n:		Restored the [Eval] proc to replace
	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	the [::puts] command when either the
	-output or -error option for [test] is in use, in order to capture
	data written to the output or error channels for comparison against
	what is expected. This is easier to document and agrees better with
	most user expectations than the previous attempt to replace [puts]
	only in the caller's namespace. Documentation made more precise on the
	subject. [Bug 706359]

	* doc/AddErrInfo.3:	Improved consistency of documentation by using
	* doc/CrtTrace.3:	"null" everywhere to refer to the character
	* doc/Encoding.3:	'\0', and using "NULL" everywhere to refer to
	* doc/Eval.3:		the value of a pointer that points to nowhere.
	* doc/GetIndex.3:	Also dropped references to ASCII that are no
	* doc/Hash.3:		longer true, and standardized on the
	* doc/LinkVar.3:	hyphenated spelling of "null-terminated".
	* doc/Macintosh.3:	
	* doc/OpenFileChnl.3:
	* doc/SetVar.3:
	* doc/StringObj.3:
	* doc/Utf.3:

	* doc/CrtSlave.3 (Tcl_MakeSafe):  Removed warning about possible
	deprecation (no TIP on that).

2003-07-17  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Makefile: added var to allow overriding of tclsh used during
	html help building (Landon Fuller).

2003-07-16  Mumit Khan  <khan@nanotech.wisc.edu>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (SetFsPathFromAny): Add Cygwin specific code to
	convert POSIX filename to native format.
	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_TranslateFileName): And remove from here.
	(TclDoGlob): Adjust for cygwin and append / for dirs instead of \
	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpObjChdir): Use chdir on Cygwin. [Patch 679315]

2003-07-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* library/safe.tcl (FileInAccessPath): normalize paths before
	comparison. [Bug 759607] (myers)

	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (NotifierThreadProc): correct size of found and
	word vars from int to long. [Bug 767578] (hgo)

2003-07-16  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/CrtSlave.3 (Tcl_MakeSafe): Updated documentation to strongly
	discourage use. IMHO code outside the core that uses this function is
	a bug... [Bug 655300]

2003-07-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tcl.h:       Add recognition of -DTCL_UTF_MAX=6 on the
	* generic/regcustom.h: make line to support UCS-4 mode. No config arg
	at this time, as it is not the recommended build mode.

	* generic/tclPreserve.c: In Result and Preserve'd routines, do not
	* generic/tclUtil.c:	 assume that ckfree == free, as that is not
	* generic/tclResult.c:	 always true. [Bug 756791] (fuller)

2003-07-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/Makefile.in: Don't define TCL_DBGX symbol for every compile.
	Instead, define TCL_PIPE_DLL only when compiling tclWinPipe.c. This
	will break other build systems, so they will need to remove the
	TCL_DBGX define and replace it with a define for TCL_PIPE_DLL.
	* win/makefile.vc: Ditto.
	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): Remove PREFIX_IDENT and
	DEBUG_IDENT from top of file. Use TCL_PIPE_DLL passed in from build
	env instead of trying to construct the dll name from already defined
	symbols. This approach is more flexible and better in the long run.

2003-07-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclFileName.c (Tcl_GlobObjCmd):	[Bug 771840]
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSConvertToPathType):[Bug 771947]
	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (GetModeFromPermString):	[Bug 771949]
	Silence compiler warnings about unreached lines.

	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl (ProcessFlags):	Corrected broken call
	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl:			to [lrange]. Bumped to
	version 2.2.4. [Bug 772333]

2003-07-15  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/dltest/pkga.c (Pkga_EqObjCmd): Fix typo that was causing a
	crash in load.test.

2003-07-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/array.n: Added some examples from David Welton [Patch 763312]

2003-07-15  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/http.n:  Updated SYNOPSIS to match actual syntax of commands.
	[Bug 756112]

	* unix/dltest/pkga.c:	Updated to not use Tcl_UtfNcmp and counted
	strings instead of strcmp (not defined in any #include'd header) and
	presumed NULL-terminated strings.

	* README:		Bumped patch level to 8.4.4 in anticipation
	* generic/tcl.h:	of another patch release.
	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tcl.spec:
	* win/README.binary:
	* win/configure.in:

	* unix/configure:	autoconf (2.13)
	* win/configure:

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIfCmd):  Prior fix of Bug 711371
	on 2003-04-07 introduced a buffer overflow. Corrected. [Bug 771613]

2003-07-15  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (SortCompare): Cleared up confusing error
	message. [Bug 771539]

2003-07-15  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Makefile: Rewrote buildsystem for Mac OS X framework build to
	be purely make driven; in order to become independent of Apple's
	closed-source IDE and build tool. The changes are intended to be
	transparent to the Makefile user, all existing make targets and cmd
	line variable overrides should continue to work. Changed build to only
	include tcl specific html help in Tcl.framework, the tk specific html
	help is now included in Tk.framework.

	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/jingham.pbxuser: Changed to purely call through to
	the make driven buildsystem; Tcl.framework is no longer assembled by
	ProjectBuilder. Set default SYMROOT in target options to simplify
	setting up PB (manually setting common build folder for tcl & tk no
	longer needed).

	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: Added options to allow building only the
	tcl or tk html help files; the default behaviour with none of the new
	options is to build both, as before.

	* unix/Makefile.in: Added targets for building only the tcl or tk help.

	* macosx/README (new): Tcl specific excerpts of tk/macosx/README.

	* generic/tcl.h: Updated reminder comment about editing
	macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj when version number changes.

2003-07-11  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tests/binary.test (binary-46.*): Tests to help enforce the current
	behaviour.
	* doc/binary.n: Documented that [binary format a] and [binary scan a]
	do encoding conversion by dropping high bytes, unlike the rest of
	the core. [Bug 735364]

2003-07-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/package.tcl:	Corrected [pkg_mkIndex] bug reported on
	comp.lang.tcl. The indexer was searching for newly indexed packages
	instead of newly provided packages.

2003-07-04  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/expr.n: Tighten up the wording of some operations. [Bug 758488]

	* tests/cmdAH.test: Made tests of [file mtime] work better on FAT
	filesystems. [Patch 760768]  Also a little general cleanup.

2003-06-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/configure: Regen.
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Add -ieee when compiling with cc and
	add -mieee when compiling with gcc under OSF1-V5 "Tru64" systems. [Bug
	748957]

2003-06-24  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/encoding.n: Corrected the docs to say that [source] uses the
	system encoding, which it always did anyway (since 8.1) [Bug 742100]

2003-06-23  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclFCmd.c: fix to bad error message when trying to do 'file
	copy foo ""'. [Bug 756951]
	* tests/fCmd.test: added two new tests for the bug.

	* doc/FileSystem.3: documentation fix [Bug 720634]

2003-06-18  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclNamesp.c (Tcl_Export): removed erroneous comments [Bug
	756744]

2003-06-17  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
	* tests/regexp.test: fixing of bugs related to regexp and regsub
	matching of empty strings. Addition of a number of new tests.

2003-06-10  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:
	* generic/tclExecute.c: let TclEvalObjvInternal call TclInterpReady
	instead of relying on its callers to do so; fix for the part of [Bug
	495830] that is new in 8.4.
	* tests/interp.test: Added tests 18.9 (knownbug) and 18.10

2003-06-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/string.test (string-4.15): Added test for [string first] bug
	reported in Tcl 8.3, where test for all-single-byte-encoded strings
	was not reliable.

2003-06-04  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>

	* tools/man2help.tcl: Added duplicate help section checking and
	* tools/index.tcl:    corrected a comment typo for the getTopics proc
	in index.tcl. [Bug 748700]

2003-05-23  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclObj.c (tclCmdNameType):  Converted internal rep
	management of the cmdName Tcl_ObjType the opposite way, to always use
	the twoPtrValue instead of always using the otherValuePtr. Previous
	fix on 2003-05-12 broke several extensions that wanted to poke around
	with the twoPtrValue.ptr2 value of a cmdName Tcl_Obj, like TclBlend
	and e4graph. [Bug 726018] Thanks to George Petasis for the bug report
	and Jacob Levy for testing assistance.

2003-05-22  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	*** 8.4.3 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***

	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c: fixed a problem that caused only the first
	call to Tcl_MacOSXOpenVersionedBundleResources() for a given bundle
	identifier to succeed. This caused the tcl runtime library not to be
	found in all interps created after the inital one.

2003-05-20  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* changes: updated for 8.4.3

	* unix/Makefile.in: do not run autoconf during 'make dist' as the
	configure is now a CVS-maintained file and should be up-to-date.

2003-05-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: changed tclConfig.sh location in
	versioned framework subdirectories to be identical to location in
	framework toplevel; fixed stub library symbolic links to be Tcl
	version specific.

2003-05-16  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: updated copyright year.

2003-05-15  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tclWinFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): revert glob code to r1.44
	as 2003-04-14 optimizations broke Windows98 glob'ing.

	* README:	    bumped version to 8.4.3
	* generic/tcl.h:
	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
	* unix/configure:
	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tcl.spec:
	* win/README.binary:
	* win/configure:
	* win/configure.in:

	* doc/socket.n: nroff font handling correction.

	* library/encoding/gb2312-raw.enc (new): This is the original
	gb2312.enc renamed to allow for it to still be used. This is needed by
	Tk (unix) because X fonts with gb2312* charsets really do want the
	original gb2312 encoding. [Bug 557030]

2003-05-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Values which can't be
	anything but wide shouldn't be demoted to long. [consequence of HEAD
	fixes for Bug 699060]

2003-05-14  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* library/encoding/gb2312.enc: copy euc-cn.enc over original
	gb2312.enc. gb2312.enc appeared to not work as expected, and most uses
	of gb2312 really mean euc-cn (which may be the cause of the problem).
	[Bug 557030]

	* generic/tclEnv.c (TclUnsetEnv): Another putenv() copy behavior
	problem repaired when compiling on windows and using microsoft's
	runtime. [Bug 736421] (gravereaux)

2003-05-13  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: add decl for FsThrExitProc to suppress warnings

2003-05-13  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): Removed unused variable to reduce
	compiler warnings. [Bug 664745]

2003-05-13  Joe Mistachkin  <joe@mistachkin.com>

	* generic/tcl.decls:  Changed Tcl_JoinThread parameter name from "id"
	* generic/tclDecls.h: to "threadId". [Bug 732477]
	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c:
	* win/tclWinThrd.c:
	* mac/tclMacThrd.c:

2003-05-13  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tcl.decls:
	* macosx/tclMacOSXBundle.c: added extended version of the
	Tcl_MacOSXOpenBundleResources() API taking an extra version number
	argument: Tcl_MacOSXOpenVersionedBundleResources(). This is needed to
	be able to access bundle resources in versioned frameworks such as Tcl
	and Tk, otherwise if multiple versions were installed, only the latest
	version's resources could be accessed. [Bug 736774]

	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (Tcl_MacOSXGetLibraryPath): use new versioned
	bundle resource API to get tcl runtime library for TCL_VERSION.
	[Bug 736774]

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

	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: worked around the issue of realpath() not being
	thread-safe on Mac OS X by defining NO_REALPATH for threaded builds on
	Mac OS X. [Bug 711232]

2003-05-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclInterp.c: (AliasObjCmd):	Added refCounting of the words
	* tests/interp.test (interp-33.1):	of the target of an interp
	alias during its execution. Also added test. [Bug 730244].

	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclInvokeObjectCommand):	objv[argc] is no
	longer set to NULL (Tcl_CreateObjCommand docs already say that it
	should not be accessed).

	* generic/tclObj.c (tclCmdNameType):  Corrected variable use of the
	otherValuePtr or the twoPtrValue.ptr1 fields to store a
	(ResolvedCmdName *) as the internal rep. [Bug 726018].

	* doc/Eval.3:  Corrected prototype for Tcl_GlobalEvalObj [Bug 727622].

2003-05-12  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclVar.c (TclObjLookupVar): [Bug 735335] temporary fix,
	disabling usage of tclNsVarNameType.
	* tests/var.test (var-15.1): test for [Bug 735335]

2003-05-10  Zoran Vasiljevic <zoran@archiware.com>

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: corrected [Bug 723502]

2003-05-10  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: ensure cd is thread-safe.
	[Bug 710642] (vasiljevic)

	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialCloseProc): correct mem leak on closing a
	Windows serial port [Bug 718002] (schroedter)

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd): prevent string repeat crash
	when overflow sizes were given (throws error). [Bug 714106]

2003-05-09  Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>

	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c (TclFreeAllocCache): Fixed memory leak
	caused by treating cachePtr as a TLS index [Bug 731754].

	* win/tclAppInit.c (Tcl_AppInit): Fixed memory leaks caused by not
	freeing the memory allocated by setargv and the async handler created
	by Tcl_AppInit. An exit handler has been created that takes care of
	both leaks. In addition, Tcl_AppInit now uses ckalloc instead of
	Tcl_Alloc to allow for easier leak tracking and to be more consistent
	with the rest of the Tcl core [Bugs 733156, 733221].

	* tools/encoding/txt2enc.c (main): Fixed memory leak caused by failing
	to free the memory used by the toUnicode array of strings [Bug 733221]

2003-05-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl: The -returnCodes option to [test]
	failed to recognize the symbolic name "ok" for return code 0.

2003-05-05  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_HideCommand): Fixed error message grammar
	and spelling.

2003-04-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclFileName.c: fix to bug reported privately by Jeff where,
	for example, 'glob -path {[tcl]} *' gets confused by the leading
	special character (which is escaped internally), and instead lists
	files in '/'. Bug only occurs on Windows where '\' is also a
	directory separator. (Bug has been around at least since Tcl 8.3.)
	* tests/fileName.test: added test for the above bug.

2003-04-25  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c:  Tcl_EvalObjv() failed to honor the
	TCL_EVAL_GLOBAL flag when resolving command names. Tcl_EvalEx passed a
	string rep including leading whitespace and comments to
	TclEvalObjvInternal().

2003-04-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Applied [Patch 727271]. This patch changes the
	code to catch any errors returned by the windows functions handling
	TLS ASAP instead of waiting to get some mysterious crash later on due
	to bogus pointers. Patch provided by Joe Mistachkin.

	This is a stop-gap measure to deal with the low number of ?TLS slots
	provided by some of the variants of Windows (60-80).

2003-04-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	When the return code of a test does
	not meet expectations, report that as the reason for test failure,
	and do not attempt to check the test result for correctness. [Bug
	725253]

2003-04-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprCallMathFunc): remove incorrect
	extraneous cast from Tcl_WideAsDouble.

2003-04-18  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/open.n:		Moved serial port options from [fconfigure]
	* doc/fconfigure.n:	to [open] as it is up to the creator of a
				channel to describe the channel's special
				config options. [Bug 679010]

2003-04-16  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tcl.h		Made changes so that the "wideInt" Tcl_ObjType
	* generic/tclObj.c	is defined on all platforms, even those where
	* generic/tclPort.h	TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG is defined.  Also made
	the Tcl_Value struct have a wideValue field on all platforms.  This is
	a ***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*** for TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG platforms
	because that struct changes size.  This is the same TIP 72
	incompatibility that was seen on other platforms at the 8.4.0 release,
	when this change should have happened as well.	[Bug 713562]

	* generic/tclInt.h:  New internal macros TclGetWide() and
	TclGetLongFromWide() to deal with both forms of the "wideInt"
	Tcl_ObjType, so that conditional TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG code
	is confined to the header file.

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:	Replaced most coding that was conditional
	* generic/tclCmdIL.c:	on TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG with code that
	* generic/tclExecute.c: works across platforms, sometimes using
	* generic/tclTest.c:	the new macros above to do it.
	* generic/tclUtil.c:
	* generic/tclVar.c:

2003-04-17  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/socket.n: Added a paragraph to remind people to specify
	their encodings when using sockets. [Bug 630621]

2003-04-16  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/CrtMathFnc.3: Functions also have to deal with wide ints,
	but this was not documented. [Bug 709720]

2003-04-15  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* win/tclWinTime.c: Corrected use of types to make compilation
	compatible with VC++5.

2003-04-14  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* win/tclWinFile.c: added conditionals to restore compilation on
	VC++6, which was broken by recent changes.

2003-04-14  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	Merged various bug fixes from current cvs head:

	* tests/cmdAH.test: better fix to test suite problem if /home is a
	symlink [Bug 703264]

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix bad error message with 'cd ""' [Bug 704917]
	* win/tclWinFile.c:
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:
	* win/tclWinInt.h: allow Tcl to differentiate between reparse points
	which are symlinks and mounted volumes, and correctly handle the
	latter. This involves some elaborate code to find the actual drive
	letter (if possible) corresponding to a mounted volume. [Bug 697862]
	* tests/fileSystem.test: add constraints to stop tests running in
	ordinary tcl interpreter. [Bug 705675]
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: Some re-arrangement of code to bring it closer
	to CVS HEAD. No functional changes.

	* tests/fCmd.test:
	* win/tclWinFile.c: added some filesystem optimisation to the
	'glob' implementation, and some new tests.

	* tests/winFile.test:
	* tests/ioUtil.test:
	* tests/unixFCmd.test: renumbered tests with duplicate numbers. [Bug
	710361]

2003-04-12  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* tests/clock.test: Renumbered test cases to avoid duplicates [Bug
	710310].
	* tests/winTime.test:
	* win/tclWinTest.c (TestwinclockCmd, TestwinsleepCmd):
	* win/tclWinTime.c (Tcl_WinTime, UpdateTimeEachSecond,
	(ResetCounterSamples, AccumulateSample, SAMPLES, TimeInfo): Made
	substantial changes to the phase-locked loop (replaced an IIR filter
	with an FIR one) in a quest for improved loop stability (Bug not
	logged at SF, but cited in private communication from Jeff Hobbs).

2003-04-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd,STR_IS_INT):  Corrected
	inconsistent results of [string is integer] observed on systems
	where sizeof(long) != sizeof(int). [Bug 718878]
	* tests/string.test: Added tests for Bug 718878.
	* doc/string.n: Clarified that [string is integer] accepts
	32-bit integers.

2003-04-11  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (UpdateInterest): When dropping interest in
	TCL_READABLE now dropping interest in TCL_EXCEPTION too. This fixes a
	bug where Expect detects eof on a file prematurely on Solaris 2.6 and
	higher. A much more complete explanation is in the code itself (40
	lines of comments for a one-line change :)

2003-04-10  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/binary.n: Fixed typo in [binary format w] desc. [Bug 718543]

2003-04-08  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_ErrorObjCmd): Strings are only empty if they
	have zero length, not if their first byte is zero, so fix test
	guarding Tcl_AddObjErrorInfo to take this into account. [Bug reported
	by Don Porter; no bug-id.]

2003-04-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIfCmd):  Corrected string limits of
	arguments interpolated in error messages. [Bug 711371]

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceExecutionProc):  Added missing
	Tcl_DiscardResult() call to avoid memory leak.

2003-04-07  Donal K. Fellows  <zzcgudf@ernie.mvc.mcc.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclObj.c (tclWideIntType, TclInitObjSubsystem):
	(SetBooleanFromAny): Make sure that tclWideIntType is defined and
	somewhat sensible everywhere. [Bug 713562]

2003-04-02  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/configure.in: Set stub lib flag based on new LIBFLAGSUFFIX
	variable.
	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Set new LIBFLAGSUFFIX that works like
	LIBSUFFIX, it is used when creating library names. The previous
	implementation would generate -ltclstub85 instead of -ltclstub85s when
	configured with --disable-shared.

2003-04-01  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/README: Direct [source] of *.test files is no longer
	recommended. The tests/*.test files should only be evaluated under the
	control of the [runAllTests] command in tests/all.tcl.

2003-03-27  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* tests/encoding.test:
	* tests/proc-old.test:
	* tests/set-old.test: Altered test numers to eliminate duplicates,
	[Bugs 710313, 710320, 710352]

2003-03-27  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tests/parseOld.test:	Altered test numers to eliminate duplicates.
	* tests/parse.test:	[Bugs 710365, 710369]
	* tests/expr-old.test:
	* tests/expr.test:

	* tests/utf.test:	Altered test numers to eliminate duplicates.
	* tests/trace.test:	[Bugs 710322, 710327, 710349, 710363]
	* tests/lsearch.test:

2003-03-26  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/tcltest.n:
	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Added reporting during [configure
	-debug 1] operations to warn about multiple uses of the same test
	name. [FR 576693]  Replaced [regexp] and [regsub] with [string map]
	where possible. Thanks to David Welton. [Bugs 667456,667558]
	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: Bumped to tcltest 2.2.3

	* tests/msgcat.test (msgcat-2.2.1): changed test name to avoid
	duplication. [Bug 710356]

	* unix/dltest/pkg?.c: Changed all Tcl_InitStubs calls to pass argument
	exact = 0, so that rebuilds are not required when Tcl bumps to a new
	version. [Bug 701926]

2003-03-24  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclVar.c:
	* tests/var.test: fixing ObjMakeUpvar's lookup algorithm for the
	created local variable, [Bugs 631741] (Chris Darroch) and [696893]
	(David Hilker).

2003-03-22  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:
	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Fixed a bug where [package require dde] or
	[package require registry] attempted to load the release version of
	the DLL into a debug build. [Bug 708218] Thanks to Joe Mistachkin for
	the patch.
	* win/makefile.vc: Added quoting around the script name in the 'test'
	target; Joe Mistachkin insists that he has a configuration that fails
	to launch tcltest without it, and it appears harmless otherwise.

2003-03-20  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclInt.h (tclOriginalNotifier):
	* generic/tclStubInit.c (tclOriginalNotifier):
	* mac/tclMacNotify.c (Tcl_SetTimer,Tcl_WaitForEvent):
	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c (Tcl_SetTimer,Tcl_WaitForEvent,
	(Tcl_CreateFileHandler,Tcl_DeleteFileHandler):
	* win/tclWinNotify.c (Tcl_SetTimer,Tcl_WaitForEvent): Some linkers
	apparently use a different representation for a pointer to a function
	within the same compilation unit and a pointer to a function in a
	different compilation unit. This causes checks like those in the
	original notifier procedures to fall into infinite loops. The fix is
	to store pointers to the original notifier procedures in a struct
	defined in the same compilation unit as the stubs tables, and compare
	against those values. [Bug 707174]

	* generic/tclInt.h: Removed definition of ParseValue struct that is no
	longer used.

2003-03-19  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCompile.c:
	* tests/compile.test: bad command count on TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE
	[Bug 705406] (Don Porter).

2003-03-19  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/Eval.3 (Tcl_EvalObjEx):			Corrected CONST and
	* doc/ParseCmd.3 (Tcl_EvalTokensStandard):	return type errors in
	documentation. [Bug 683994]

2003-03-18  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/registry.test: Changed the conditionals to avoid an abort if
	[testlocale] is missing, as when running the test in tclsh rather than
	tcltest. [Bug 705677]

2003-03-18  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl: added support for building 'make html'
	from inside distribution directories named with 8.x.x version numbers.
	tcltk-man2html now uses the latest tcl8.x.x resp. tk8.x.x directories
	found inside its --srcdir argument.

2003-03-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/cmdAH.test: fix test suite problem if /home is a symlink
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix bad error message with 'cd ""'
	* win/tclWinFile.c: allow Tcl to differentiate between reparse points
	which are symlinks and mounted drives.

	These changes fix [Bugs 703264, 704917, 697862] respectively.

2003-03-17  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/lsearch.n:	Altered documentation of -ascii options so
	* doc/lsort.n:		they don't specify that they operate on
				ASCII strings, which they never did
				anyway. [Bug 703807]

2003-03-14  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FileObjCmd): Remove assumption that file
	times and longs are the same size. [Bug 698146]
	(Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Stop surprising type conversions from
	happening when working with integer and wide values. [Bug 699060]

	* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_FormatObjCmd): Only add the modifier that
	indicates we've got a wide int when we're formatting in an integer
	style. Stops some libc's from going mad. [Bug 702622]
	Also tidied whitespace.

2003-03-13  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/makefile.vc: Backed the version to 8.4 on the 8.4 branch. (I
	just loathe sticky tags).

2003-03-12  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tcl.h:	Removed TCL_PREFIX_IDENT and TCL_DEBUG_IDENT
	* win/tclWinPipe.c:	from tcl.h -- they are not part of Tcl's
	public interface.  Put them in win/tclWinPipe.c where they are used.

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SubstObj):	Corrected and added test for
	* tests/subst.test (subst-2.4):		Tcl_SubstObj's incorrect
	halting of substitution at the first \x00 byte. [Bug 685106]

	* generic/tclInterp.c (Tcl_InterpObjCmd):	Corrected and added
	* tests/interp.test (interp-2.13):		test for option
	parsing beyond objc for [interp create --].  Thanks to Marco Maggi.
	[Bug 702383]

2003-03-11  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/makefile.vc: Added two missing uses of $(DBGX) so that
	tclpip8x.dll loads without panicking on Win9x.

2003-03-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/tcltest.n:  Added missing "-body" to example.  Thanks to
	Helmut Giese. [Bug 700011]

2003-03-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/TclUtf.c (Tcl_UniCharNcasecmp):	Corrected failure to
	* tests/utf.test (utf-25.*):	properly compare Unicode strings of
	different case in a case insensitive manner. [Bug 699042]

2003-03-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	*** 8.4.2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***

2003-03-03  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	Mac OS Classic specific fixes:

	* mac/tclMacPort.h: define S_ISLNK macro to fix stat'ing of links.
	* mac/tclMacUtil.c (FSpLocationFromPathAlias): fix to enable
	stat'ing of broken links.

2003-03-03  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/Makefile.vc: corrected bug introduced by 'g' for debug builds.

2003-03-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:	dde bumped to version 1.2.1 for
	* win/tclWinDde.c:		bundled release with Tcl 8.4.2

	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl:	registry bumped to version 1.1.1 for
	* win/tclWinReg.c:		bundled release with Tcl 8.4.2

	* library/opt/pkgIndex.tcl:	updated package index to version 0.4.4

2003-02-28  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/configure:
	* win/configure.in: check for 'g' for debug build type, not 'd'.
	* win/rules.vc (DBGX): correct to use 'g' for nmake win makefile
	to match the cygwin makefile for debug builds. [Bug 635107]

2003-02-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/file.n: subcommand is 'file volumes' not 'file volume'

2003-02-27  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (MakeFsPathFromRelative): removed dead code
	check of typePtr (darley).

	* tests/winTime.test: added note about PCI hardware dependency
	issues with high performance clock.

2003-02-27  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tests/lsearch.test (lsearch-10.7):
	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): Stopped -start option from
	causing an option when used with an empty list. [Bug 694232]

2003-02-26  Chengye Mao <chengye.geo@yahoo.com>

	* win/tclWinInit.c: fixed a bug in TclpSetVariables by initializing
	dwUserNameLen with the sizeof(szUserName) before calling GetUserName.
	Don't know if this bug has been recorded: it caused crash in starting
	Tcl or wish in Windows.

2003-02-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (TraceCommandProc): Fix mem leak when
	deleting a command that had trace on it. [Bug 693564] (sofer)

2003-02-25  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/pkgMkIndex.n:	Modified [pkg_mkIndex] to use -nocase matching
	* library/package.tcl:	of -load patterns, to better accomodate
	common user errors due to confusion between [package names] names
	and [info loaded] names.

2003-02-25  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* tests/pid.test: See below [Bug 678412].
	* tests/io.test: Made more robust against spaces in paths [Bug 678400]


2003-02-25  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* tests/execute.test: cleaning up testobj's at the end, to avoid leak
	warning by valgrind.

2003-02-22  Zoran Vasiljevic  <zoran@archiwrae.com>

	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_FinalizeThread): Fix [Bug 571002]

2003-02-21  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tests/binary.test (binary-44.[34]):
	* generic/tclBinary.c (ScanNumber): Fixed problem with unwanted
	sign-bit propagation when scanning wide ints. [Bug 690774]

2003-02-21  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* mac/tclMacChan.c (TclpCutFileChannel, TclpSpliceFileChannel):
	Implemented missing cut and splice procs for file channels.

2003-02-21  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown):	Minor performance tweaks to
	reduce the number of [file] invocations. Meant to improve startup
	times, at least a little bit. [Patch 687906]

2003-02-20  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tcl.m4:
	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c: (macosx) use vfork() instead of fork() to create
	new processes, as recommended by Apple (vfork can be up to 100 times
	faster thank fork on macosx).
	* unix/configure: regen.

2003-02-20  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclEncoding.c (LoadTableEncoding):
	* library/encoding/cp932.enc:	   Correct jis round-trip encoding
	* library/encoding/euc-jp.enc:	   by adding 'R' type to .enc files.
	* library/encoding/iso2022-jp.enc: [Patch 689341] (koboyasi, taguchi)
	* library/encoding/jis0208.enc:
	* library/encoding/shiftjis.enc:
	* tests/encoding.test:

	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (Tcl_MakeTcpClientChannel): add
	MakeTcpClientChannelMode that takes actual mode flags to avoid
	hang on OS X (may be OS X bug, but patch works x-plat).
	[Bug 689835] (steffen)

2003-02-20  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/regsub.n: Typo fix [Bug 688943]

2003-02-19  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpReaddir):
	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: update to Bug 689100 patch to ensure that
	there is a defined value of MAXNAMLEN (aka NAME_MAX in POSIX) and
	that we have some buffer allocated.

2003-02-19  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c: restored Tcl_SetObjLength() side-effect of
	always invalidating unicode rep (if the obj has a string rep). Added
	hasUnicode flag to String struct, allows decoupling of validity of
	unicode rep from buffer size allocated to it (improves memory
	allocation efficiency). [Bugs 686782, 671138, 635200]

	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
	* macosx/Makefile: reworked embedded build to no longer require
	relinking but to use install_name_tool instead to change the
	install_names for embedded frameworks. [Bug 644510]

	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: preserve mod dates when running
	'make install' to build framework (avoids bogus rebuilds of dependent
	frameworks because tcl headers appear changed).

	* tests/ioCmd.test (iocmd-1.8): fix failure when system encoding is
	utf-8: use iso8859-1 encoding explicitly.

2003-02-18  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileExprWords): remove unused variable
	"range" [Bug 664743]
	* generic/tclExecute.c (ExprSrandFunc): remove unused variable
	"result" [Bug 664743]
	* generic/tclStringObj.c (UpdateStringOfString): remove unused
	variable "length" [Bug 664751]
	* tests/execute.test (execute-7.30): fix for [Bug 664775]

2003-02-18  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* unix/tcl.m4: [Bug 651811] Added definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE and
	linkage of 'xnet' library to HP 11 branch. This kills a lot of
	socket-related failures in the testsuite when Tcl was compiled in 64
	bit mode (both PA-RISC 2.0W, and IA 64).

	* unix/configure: Regenerated.

2003-02-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclIO.c (HaveVersion): correctly decl static

	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c (TclpReaddir): reduce size of name string in
	tsd to NAME_MAX instead of PATH_MAX. [Bug 689100] (waters)

2003-02-18  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/configure: Regen.
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_THREADS): Make sure -lpthread gets passed on

	the link line when checking for the pthread_attr_setstacksize symbol.

2003-02-18  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclTest.c: cleanup of new 'simplefs' test code, and better
	documentation.

2003-02-17  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand): fixing error in previous
	commit.

2003-02-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode INST_STR_MATCH):
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_StringObjCmd STR_MATCH):
	* generic/tclUtf.c (TclUniCharMatch):
	* generic/tclInt.decls:	 add private TclUniCharMatch function that
	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: does string match on counted unicode
	* generic/tclStubInit.c: strings.  Tcl_UniCharCaseMatch has the
	* tests/string.test:	 failing that it can't handle strings or
	* tests/stringComp.test: patterns with embedded NULLs.	Added
	tests that actually try strings/pats with NULLs.  TclUniCharMatch
	should be TIPed and made public in the next minor version rev.

2003-02-17  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand): 'oldFullName' object was not
	being freed on all function exits, causing a memory leak. [Bug 684756]


2003-02-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_GetsObj): Minor change so that eol is only

	assigned at the top of the TCL_TRANSLATE_AUTO case block. The other
	cases assign eol so this does not change any functionality.

2003-02-17  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/notify.test: Removed Windows line terminators. [Bug 687913].

2003-02-15  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c (Tcl_EvalEx):
	* generic/tclCompExpr.c (CompileSubExpr):
	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileScript):
	* generic/tclParse.c (Tcl_ParseCommand, ParseTokens):
	* generic/tclParseExpr.c (ParsePrimaryExpr):
	* tests/basic.test (47.1):
	* tests/main.test (3.4):
	* tests/misc.test (1.2):
	* tests/parse.test (6.18):
	* tests/parseExpr.test (15.35):
	* tests/subst.test (8.6): Don Porter's fix for bad parsing of
	nested scripts [Bug 681841].

2003-02-15  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/notify.test (new-file):
	* generic/tclTest.c (TclTest_Init, EventtestObjCmd, EventtestProc,
	(EventTestDeleteProc):
	* generic/tclNotify.c (Tcl_DeleteEvents): Fixed Tcl_DeleteEvents
	not to get a pointer smash when deleting the last event in the
	queue. Added test code in 'tcltest' and a new file of test cases
	'notify.test' to exercise this functionality; several of the new
	test cases fail for the original code and pass for the corrected
	code. [Bug 673714]

	* unix/tclUnixTest.c (TestfilehandlerCmd): Corrected a couple
	of typos in error messages. [Bug 596027]

2003-02-14  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* README:		Bumped to version 8.4.2.
	* generic/tcl.h:
	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
	* unix/configure:
	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tcl.m4:
	* unix/tcl.spec:
	* win/README.binary:
	* win/configure:
	* win/configure.in:
	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:

	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_GetCharLength): perf tweak

	* unix/tcl.m4: correct HP-UX ia64 --enable-64bit build flags

2003-02-14  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinTime.c: Added code to test and compensate for forward
	leaps of the performance counter. See the MSDN Knowledge Base article
	Q274323 for the hardware problem that makes this necessary on certain
	machines.
	* tests/winTime.test: Revised winTime-2.1 - it had a tolerance of
	thousands of seconds, rather than milliseconds. (What's six orders of
	magnitude among friends?

	Both the above changes are triggered by a problem reported at
	http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/ActiveTcl/1536811
	although the developers find it difficult to believe that it accounts
	for the observed behavior and suspect a fault in the RTC chip.


2003-02-13  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinInit.c: Added conversion from the system encoding to
	tcl_platform(user), so that it works with non-ASCII7 user names. [Bug
	685926]

	* doc/tclsh.1: Added language to describe the handling of the
	end-of-file character \u001a embedded in a script file. [Bug 685485]


2003-02-11  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/fileName.test:
	* unix/tclUnixFile.c: fix for [Bug 685445] when using 'glob -l' on
	broken symbolic links. Added two new tests for this bug.

2003-02-11  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/http.test: Corrected a problem where http-4.14 would fail when
	run in an environment with a proxy server. Replaced references to
	scriptics.com by tcl.tk.

2003-02-11  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* tests/lsearch.test:
	* generic/tclCmdIL.c (Tcl_LsearchObjCmd): protect against the case
	that lsearch -regepx list and pattern objects are equal.

	* tests/stringObj.test:
	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_GetCharLength): correct ascii char
	opt of 2002-11-11 to not stop early on \x00. [Bug 684699]

	* tests.parse.test: remove excess EOF whitespace

	* generic/tclParse.c (CommandComplete): more paranoid check to
	break on (p >= end) instead of just (p == end).

2003-02-11  Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

	* generic/tclParse.c (CommandComplete):
	* tests/parse.test: fix for [Bug 684744], by Don Porter.

2003-02-11  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSJoinPath, Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath):
	(UpdateStringOfFsPath): revert the cwdLen == 0 check and instead
	follow a different code path in Tcl_FSJoinPath.
	(Tcl_FSConvertToPathType, Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath):
	(Tcl_FSGetFileSystemForPath): Update string rep of path objects
	before freeing the internal object. (darley)

	* tests/fileSystem.test: added test 8.3
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (Tcl_FSGetNormalizedPath):
	(UpdateStringOfFsPath): handle the cwdLen == 0 case

	* unix/tclUnixFile.c (TclpMatchInDirectory): simplify the hidden
	file match check.

2003-02-10  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure:
	* win/configure.in: Generate error when attempting to build under

	Cygwin. The Cygwin port of Tcl/Tk does not build and people are filing
	bug reports under the mistaken impression that someone is actually
	maintaining the Cygwin port. A post to comp.lang.tcl asking someone to

	volunteer as an area maintainer has generated no results. Closing

	[Bugs 680840, 630199, 634772] and marking as "Won't fix".

2003-02-10  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/append.n: Return value was not documented. [Bug 683188]

2003-02-10  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/FileSystem.3:
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* tests/fileSystem.test:
	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:
	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
	* win/tclWinFile.c: further filesystem optimization, applying
	[Patch 682500]. In particular, these code examples are faster now:

	    foreach f $flist { if {[file exists $f]} {file stat $f arr;...}}
	    foreach f [glob -dir $dir *] { # action and/or recursion on $f }
	    cd $dir
	    foreach f [glob *] { # action and/or recursion on $f }
	    cd ..

	* generic/tclTest.c: Fix for [Bug 683181] where test suite left files
	in 'tmp'.

2003-02-08  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* library/safe.tcl: code cleanup of eval and string comp use.

2003-02-07  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinFCmd.c: cleanup long lines
	* win/tclWinFile.c: sped up pure 'glob' by a factor of 2.5 ('foreach f
	[glob *] { file exists $f }' is still slow)
	* tests/fileSystem.text:
	* tests/fileName.test: added new tests to ensure correct behaviour in
	optimized filesystem code.

2003-02-07  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclTest.c:
	* tests/fileSystem.text: fixed test 7.2 to avoid a possible crash, and
	not change the pwd.

	* tests/http.text: added comment to test 4.15, that it may fail if you
	use a proxy server.

2003-02-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileIncrCmd):
	* tests/incr.test: Don't include the text "(increment expression)" in

	the errorInfo generated by the compiled version of the incr command

	since it does not match the message generated by the non-compiled
	version of incr. It is also not possible to match this error output

	under Jacl, which does not support a compiler.

2003-02-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): When an error is
	encountered reading the increment value during a compiled call to
	incr, add a "(reading increment)" error string to the errorInfo

	variable. This makes the errorInfo variable set by the compiled incr
	command match the value set by the non-compiled version.
	* tests/incr-old.test: Change errorInfo result for the compiled incr
	command case to match the modified implementation.

	* tests/incr.test: Add tests to make sure the compiled and
	non-compiled errorInfo messages are the same.

2003-02-06  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Filename arguments to [outputChannel]
	and [errorChannel] (also -outfile and -errfile) were [open]ed but
	never [closed]. Also, [cleanupTests] could remove output or error
	files. [Bug 676978].
	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: Bumped to version 2.2.2.

2003-02-05  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/interp.test:
	* tests/set-old.test: Run test cases that depend on hash order through

	lsort so that the tests also pass under Jacl. Does not change test
	results under Tcl.

2003-02-04  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
	* generic/tclEvent.c:
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* mac/tclMacFCmd.c:
	* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c:
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:
	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:
	* win/tclWinInit.c:
	* win/tclWinInt.h:
	* tests/fileSystem.test: fix to finalization/unloading/encoding issues
	to make filesystem much less dependent on encodings for its cleanup,
	and therefore allow it to be finalized later in the exit process. This
	fixes fileSystem.test-7.1. Also fixed one more bug in setting of
	modification dates of files which have undergone cross-platform
	copies. [Patch 676271]

	* tests/basic.test:
	* tests/exec.test:
	* tests/fileName.test:
	* tests/io.test: fixed some test failures when tests are run from a
	directory containing spaces.

	* tests/fileSystem.test:
	* generic/tclTest.c: added regression test for the modification
	date setting of cross-platform file copies.

2003-02-03  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclBasic.c: Changed [trace add command] so that 'rename'
	callbacks get fully qualified names of the command. [Bug 651271].
	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
	* tests/trace.test: Modified the test cases for [trace add command] to
	expect fully qualified names on the 'rename' callbacks. Added a case
	for renaming a proc within a namespace.
	* doc/trace.n: Added language about use of fully qualified names in
	trace callbacks.

2003-02-01  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: Removed an unused variable that caused
	compiler warnings on SGI. [Bug 664379]

	* generic/tclLoad.c: Changed the code so that if Tcl_StaticPackage is
	called to report the same package as being loaded in two interps, it
	shows up in [info loaded {}] in both of them (previously, it didn't
	appear in the static package list in the second.

	* tests/load.test Added regression test for the above bug. [Bug
	670042]

	* generic/tclClock.c: Fixed a bug that incorrectly allowed [clock
	clicks {}] and [clock clicks -] to be accepted as if they were [clock
	clicks -milliseconds].

	* tests/clock.test: Added regression tests for the above bug. [Bug
	675356]

	* tests/unixNotfy.test: Added cleanup of working files [Bug 675609]


	* doc/Tcl.n: Added headings to the eleven paragraphs, to improve
	formatting in the tools that attempt to extract tables of contents
	from the manual pages. [Bug 627455]

	* generic/tclClock.c: Expanded mutex protection around the setting of
	env(TZ) and the thread-unsafe call to tzset(). [Bug 656660]

2003-01-31  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/tcltest.test: Cleaned up management of file/directory
	creation/deletion to improve "-debug 1" output. [Bug 675614] The
	utility [slave] command failed to properly [list]-quote a constructed
	[open] command, causing failure when the pathname contained
	whitespace. [Bug 678415]

	* tests/main.test: Stopped main.test from deleting existing file.
	Test suite should not delete files that already exist. [Bug 675660]

2003-01-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* tests/main.test: Constrain tests that do not work on Windows. [Bug
	674387]

2003-01-28  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to setting modification date in
	TclCrossFilesystemCopy. Also added 'panic' in
	Tcl_FSGetFileSystemForPath under illegal calling circumstances which
	lead to hard-to-track-down bugs.

	* generic/tclTest.c: added test suite code to allow exercising a
	vfs-crash-on-exit bug in Tcl's finalization caused by the encodings
	being cleaned up before unloading occurs.
	* tests/fileSystem.test: added new 'knownBug' test 7.1 to demonstrate
	the crash on exit.

2003-01-28  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tcl.h: Add TCL_PREFIX_IDENT and TCL_DEBUG_IDENT, used only
	by TclpCreateProcess.
	* unix/Makefile.in: Define TCL_DBGX.
	* win/Makefile.in: Define TCL_DBGX.
	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCreateProcess): Check that the Tcl pipe dll

	actually exists in the Tcl bin directory and panic if it is not

	found. Incorporate TCL_DBGX into the Tcl pipe dll name. This fixes a
	really mysterious error that would show up when exec'ing a 16 bit

	application under Win95 or Win98 when Tcl was compiled with symbols.
	The error seemed to indicate that the executable could not be found,

	but it was actually the Tcl pipe dll that could not be found.

2003-01-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/README: Update msys+mingw URL to release 6. This version bundles
	gcc 3.

2003-01-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/configure.in: Add test that checks to see if the compiler can
	cast to a union type.
	* win/tclWinTime.c: Squelch compiler warning about union initializer

	by casting to union type when compiling with gcc.

2003-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CutChannel, Tcl_SpliceChannel): Invoke
	TclpCutFileChannel and TclpSpliceFileChannel.
	* generic/tclInt.h: Declare TclpCutFileChannel and
	TclpSpliceFileChannel.
	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileCloseProc, TclpOpenFileChannel,
	(Tcl_MakeFileChannel, TclpCutFileChannel,
	(TclpSpliceFileChannel): Implement thread load data cut and splice for
	file channels. This avoids an invalid memory ref when compiled with
	-DDEPRECATED.
	* win/tclWinChan.c (FileCloseProc, TclpCutFileChannel,
	(TclpSpliceFileChannel): Implement thread load data cut and splice for

	file channels. This avoids an invalid memory ref that was showing up
	in the thread extension.

2003-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace, squelch_warnings):
	* win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel, squelch_warnings):
	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (DoRenameFile, DoCopyFile, squelch_warnings):
	Re-implement inline ASM SEH handlers for gcc. The esp and ebp

	registers are now saved on the stack instead of in global variables so
	that the code is thread safe. Add additional checks when TCL_MEM_DEBUG

	is defined to be sure the values were recovered from the stack
	properly. Remove squelch_warnings functions and add a dummy call in
	the handler methods to squelch compiler warnings.


2003-01-25  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure:
	* win/configure.in: Define HAVE_ALLOCA_GCC_INLINE when we detect that

	no alloca function is found in malloc.h and we are compiling with
	GCC. Remove HAVE_NO_ALLOC_DECL define.
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace): Don't define alloca as a

	cdecl function. Doing this caused a tricky runtime bug because the
	_alloca function expects the size argument to be passed in a register

	and not on the stack. To fix this problem, we use inline ASM when
	compiling with gcc to invoke _alloca with the size argument loaded
	into a register.

2003-01-24  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tclWinDde.c (Dde_Init): clarified use of tsdPtr.
	(DdeServerProc): better refcount handling of returnPackagePtr.

	* generic/tclEvent.c (Tcl_Finalize): revert finalize change on
	2002-12-04 to correct the issue with extensions that have TSD needing
	to finalize that before they are unloaded. This issue needs further
	clarification.

	* tests/unixFCmd.test: only do groups check on unix

2003-01-24  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c: proper fixes for Tcl_SetObjLength and
	Tcl_AttemptSetObjectLength dealing with string objects with both
	pure-unicode and normal internal representations. Previous fix didn't
	handle all cases correctly.
	* generic/tclIO.c: Add 'Tcl_GetString()' to ensure the object has a
	valid 'objPtr->bytes' field before manipulating it directly.

	This fixes [Bug 635200] and [Bug 671138], but may reduce performance
	of Unicode string handling in some cases. A further patch will be
	applied to address this, once the code is known to be correct.

2003-01-24  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/configure.in: Add test to see if alloca is undefined in
	malloc.h.
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclpCheckStackSpace): Rework the SEH exception

	handler logic to avoid using the stack since alloca will modify the
	stack. This was causing a nasty bug that would set the exception
	handler to 0 because it tried to pop the previous exception handler
	off the top of the stack.


2003-01-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/lset.n: Fixed fault in return values from lset in documentation
	examples [Bug 658463] and tidied up a bit at the same time.


2003-01-21  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>
	* doc/namespace.n (namespace inscope): Clarified documentation
	[Patch 670110]

2003-01-21  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Set SHLIB_SUFFIX so that
	TCL_SHLIB_SUFFIX will be set to a useful value in the generated

	tclConfig.sh. Set SHLIB_LD_LIBS to "" or '${LIBS}' based on the
	--enable-shared flag. This matches the UNIX implementation.


2003-01-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclCkalloc.c: change %ud to %u as appropriate.

2003-01-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinDde.c (DdeServerProc): Deallocate the Tcl_Obj returned by

	ExecuteRemoteObject if it was not saved in a connection object.

2003-01-17  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tcl.h: Revert earlier change that defined TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE

	as long long and TCL_LL_MODIFIER as L when compiling with mingw. This
	change ended up causing some test case failures when compiling with
	mingw.
	* generic/tclObj.c (UpdateStringOfWideInt): Describe the warning

	generated by mingw and why it needs to be ignored so that someone is
	not tempted to "fix" this problem again in the future.


2003-01-16  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclStringObj.c: Tcl_SetObjLength fix for when the object has
	a unicode string rep. Fixes [Bug 635200]
	* tests/stringObj.test: removed 'knownBug' constraint from test 14.1
	now that this bug is fixed.

	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclBasic.c:
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.z:
	* tests/trace.test: execution and command tracing bug fixes and
	cleanup. In particular fixed [Bugs 655645, 615043, 571385]

	  - fixed some subtle cleanup problems with tracing. This required
	    replacing Tcl_Preserve/Tcl_Release with a more robust refCount
	    approach. Solves at least one known crash caused by memory
	    corruption.
	  - fixed some confusion in the code between new style traces (Tcl
	    8.4) and the very limited 'Tcl_CreateTrace' which existed before.

	  - made behaviour consistent with documentation (several tests even
	    contradicted the documentation before).
	  - fixed some minor error message details
	  - added a number of new tests

2003-01-16  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialOutputProc): add casts for bytesWritten to
	allow strict compilation (no warnings).

	* tests/winDde.test:
	* win/tclWinDde.c (Tcl_DdeObjCmd): Prevent crash when empty service
	name is passed to 'dde eval' and goto errorNoResult in request and
	poke error cases to free up any allocated data.

2003-01-16  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (squelch_warnings): Squelch compiler warnings from
	SEH ASM code.
	* win/tclWinChan.c (squelch_warnings): Squelch compiler warnings from
	SEH ASM code.
	* win/tclWinDde.c: Add casts to avoid compiler warnings. Pass pointer

	to DWORD instead of int to avoid compiler warnings.
	* win/tclWinFCmd.c (squelch_warnings): Add casts and fixup decls to

	avoid compiler warnings. Squelch compiler warnings from SEH ASM code.
	* win/tclWinFile.c: Add casts and fixup decls to avoid compiler
	warnings. Remove unused variable.
	* win/tclWinNotify.c: Declare as DWORD instead of int to avoid
	compiler warning.
	* win/tclWinReg.c: Add casts to avoid compiler warning. Fix assignment
	in if expression bug.
	* win/tclWinSerial.c: Add casts to avoid compiler warnings. Remove
	unused variable.
	* win/tclWinSock.c: Add casts and fixup decls to avoid compiler
	warnings.

2003-01-14  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): corrected typo that incorrectly
	conditionally defined savedTZEnv and savedTimeZone.

2003-01-13  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	Fix mingw build problems and compiler warnings.

	* generic/tcl.h: Add if defined(__MINGW32__) check to code that sets

	the TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE and TCL_LL_MODIFIER.
	* generic/tclClock.c (FormatClock): Don't define savedTimeZone and

	savedTZEnv if we are not going to use them.
	* generic/tclEnv.c: Add cast to avoid warning.
	* win/tclWinChan.c: Use DWORD instead of int to avoid compiler warning

	* win/tclWinThrd.c: Only define allocLock, allocLockPtr, and dataKey

	when TCL_THREADS is defined. This avoid a compiler warning about
	unused variables.

2003-01-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/README: Update msys + mingw URL, the new release includes the

	released 1.0.8 version of msys which includes a number of bug fixes.


2003-01-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Pull in addition of shell32.lib to

	LIBS_GUI that was added to the Tk tcl.m4 but never made it back into
	the Tcl version.

2003-01-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tcl.h: Skip Tcl's define of CHAR, SHORT, and LONG when

	HAVE_WINNT_IGNORE_VOID is defined. This avoids a bunch of compiler
	warnings when building with Cygwin or Mingw.
	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/configure.in: Define HAVE_WINNT_IGNORE_VOID when we detect a

	winnt.h that still defines CHAR, SHORT, and LONG when VOID has already
	been defined.
	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_LOAD_TCLCONFIG): Subst the TCL_DEFS loaded from

	tclConfig.sh so that Tcl defines can make it into the Tk Makefile.

2003-01-12  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/configure.in: Check for typedefs like LPFN_ACCEPT in winsock2.h
	and define HAVE_NO_LPFN_DECLS if not found.
	* win/tclWinSock.c: Define LPFN_* typedefs if HAVE_NO_LPFN_DECLS is

	defined. This fixes the build under Mingw and Cygwin, it was broken by
	the changes made on 2002-11-26.

2003-01-10  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
	* win/tclWinInt.h:
	* win/tclWinInit.c: fix to new WinTcl crash on exit with vfs,
	introduced on 2002-12-06. Encodings must be cleaned up after the
	filesystem.

	* win/makefile.vc: fix to minor VC++ 5.2 syntax problem

2003-01-09  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompilerReturnCmd): Corrected off-by-one
	problem with recent commit. [Bug 633204]

2003-01-09  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclFileName.c: remove unused variable 'macSpecialCase' [Bug
	664749]

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:
	* mac/tclMacFile.c:
	* win/tclWinFile.c:
	* win/tclWinInt.h:
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:
	* tests/cmdAH.test: fix to non-ascii chars in paths when setting mtime
	and atime through 'file (a|m)time $path $time'. [Bug 634151]


2003-01-08  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExprFloatError): Use the IS_NAN macro for
	greater clarity of code.

2003-01-07  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileReturnCmd):
	* tests/compile.test:	Corrects failure of bytecompiled [catch
	{return}] to have result TCL_RETURN (not TCL_OK) [Bug 633204]. This
	patch is a workaround for 8.4.X. A new opcode INST_RETURN is a better
	long term solution for 8.5 and later.

2003-01-04  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/makefile.vc:
	* win/rules.vc: Fixed INSTALLDIR macro problem that blanked itself by
	accident causing the install target to put the tree at the root of the
	drive built on. Whoops..

	Renamed the 'linkexten' option to be 'staticpkg'. Added 'thrdalloc' to
	allow the switching _on_ of the thread allocator. Under testing, I
	found it not to be benificial under windows for the purpose of the
	application I was using it for. It was more important for this app
	that resources for tcl threads be returned to the system rather than
	saved/moved to the global recycler. Be extra clean or extra fast for
	the default threaded build? Let's move to clean and allow it to be
	switched on for users who find it benificial for their use of threads.


2002-12-18  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/makefile.vc: some uses of xcopy swapped to the @$(CPY) macro.
	Reported by Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>.

2002-12-17  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclNotify.c (TclFinalizeNotifier, Tcl_SetServiceMode):
	(Tcl_ThreadAlert): Check that the stub functions are non-NULL before
	calling them. They could be set to NULL by Tcl_SetNotifier.

2002-12-16  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* generic/tclPipe.c (TclCleanupChildren):
	* tests/winPipe.test:
	* win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid):
	* win/tclWinTest.c:  Gave Tcl_WaitPid the ability to return a Win32
	exception code translated into a posix style SIG*. This allows [close]
	to report "CHILDKILLED" without the meaning getting lost in a
	truncated exit code. In TclCleanupChildren(), TclpGetPid() had to get
	moved to before Tcl_WaitPid() as the the handle is removed from the

	list taking away the ability to get the process id after the wait is
	done. This shouldn't effect the unix implimentaion unless waitpid is
	called with a pid of zero, meaning "any". I don't think it is..

2002-12-13  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/configure.in:	Updated configure of CVS snapshots to reflect
	* win/configure.in:	the 8.4.1.1 patchlevel.

	* unix/configure:	autoconf
	* win/configure		autoconf

2002-12-11  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclProc.c (ProcessProcResultCode): Fix failure to propagate
	negative return codes up the call stack. [Bug 647307]
	* tests/proc.test (proc-6.1): Test for Bug 647307

	* generic/tclParseExpr.c (TclParseInteger):  Return 1 for the
	string "0x" (recognize leading "0" as an integer). [Bug 648441].
	* tests/parseExpr.test (parseExpr-19.1): Test for Bug 648441.

2002-12-09  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpMasterUnlock):
	* generic/tclThread.c (TclFinalizeThreadData): TclpMasterUnlock must
	exist and be called unconditional of TCL_THREADS. [Bug 651139]

2002-12-08  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/tclWinSock.c (SocketThreadExitHandler, InitSockets):  Check that
	the tsdPtr is valid before dereferencing as we call it from the exit
	handler, too [Bug 650353]. Another WSAStartup() loaded version
	comparison byte swap issue fixed. Although 0x0101 byte swapped is
	still 0x0101, properly claiming which is major/minor is more correct.


2002-12-06  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclStubInit.c: regen
	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h: regen
	* generic/tclInt.decls: added TclWinResetInterface

	* win/tclWin32Dll.c (TclWinResetInterfaces):
	* win/tclWinInit.c (TclpSetInitialEncodings, WinEncodingsCleanup):
	add exit handler that resets the encoding information to a state where
	we can reuse Tcl. Following these changes, it is possible to reuse Tcl
	(following Tcl_FindExecutable or Tcl_CreateInterp) following a
	Tcl_Finalize.

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c (TclFinalizeFilesystem): reset statics to their
	original values on finalize to allow reuse of the library.

2002-12-04  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/tclWinPipe.c: reverted back to -r1.27 due to numerous test
	failures that need to be resolved first. The idea was good, but the
	details aren't.

2002-12-04  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/tclWinPipe.c (Tcl_WaitPid): When a process exits with an
	exception, pass this notice on to the caller with a SIG* code rather
	than truncating the exit code and missing the meaning.  This allows
	TclCleanupChildren() to report "CHILDKILLED".

	This has a different behavior than unix in that closing the read pipe
	to a process sends the SIGPIPE signal which is returned as a SIGPIPE
	exit status.  On windows, we send the process a CTRL_BREAK_EVENT and

	get back a CONTROL_C_EXIT which is documented to mean a SIGINT which
	seems wrong as a system, but is the correct exit status.

2002-12-04  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: fix to redirected 'load' in virtual filesystem
	for some Unix systems.

	* generic/tclEvent.c: the filesystem must be cleaned up before the
	encoding subsystem because it needs access to encodings. Fixes crash
	on exit observed in embedded applications.

	* generic/tclTestObj.c: patch omitted from previous change of
	2002-11-13

2002-12-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclStubLib.c (Tcl_InitStubs): prevent the cached check of
	tclStubsPtr to allow for repeated load/unload of the Tcl dll by
	hosting apps. [Bug 615304]

2002-12-03  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/tclAppInit.c (sigHandler): Protect from trying to close a NULL
	handle.

	* win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc, TclpCreateProcess): Send a real
	Win32 signal (CTRL_C_EVENT) when the read channel is brought down to
	alert the child to close on its side. Start the process with
	CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP to allow the ability to send these signals.
	The following test case now brings down the child without the use of
	an external [kill] command.

		% set p [open "|[info name]" w+]
		file8d5380
		% pid $p
		2876
		% close $p     <- now doesn't block in Tcl_WaitPid()
		%

	* win/tclWinPipe.c (PipeClose2Proc): Changed CTRL_C_EVENT to
	CTRL_BREAK_EVENT as it can't be ignored by the child and proved to
	work on [open "|netstat 1" w+] where CTRL_C_EVENT didn't.


2002-11-27  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/tclWinPort.h: Don't turn off winsock prototypes! TclX didn't
	like it. Even though the core doesn't use the prototypes, do offer
	them.

	* win/tclWinSock.c: Removed shutdown() from the function table as it
	wasn't referenced anywhere and cleaned-up some casting that that
	wasn't needed.

	* win/tclWinSock.c: WSAStartup() loaded version comparison error which
	resulted in 2.0 looking less than 1.1.

	* win/tclWinChan.c (Tcl_MakeFileChannel): return of DuplicateHandle()
	incorrectly used [Bug 618852].

2002-11-26  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclEncoding.c (TclFinalizeEncodingSubsystem): properly
	cleanup all encodings by using Tcl_FirstHashEntry in the while loop.

	* unix/Makefile.in (valgrind): add simple valgrind target

	* tests/exec.test: unset path var to allow singleproc testing

	* generic/tclInterp.c (AliasCreate): preserve/release interps to
	prevent possible FMR error in bad alias cases.

2002-11-26  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/tclWinPort.h:
	* win/tclWinSock.c:  This patch does two things:

	1) Cleans-up the winsock typedefs by using the typedefs provided by
	winsock2.h. This has no effect on how winsock is initialized; just
	makes the source code easier to read. [Patch 561305, 561301]


	2) Revamps how the socket message handler thread is brought up and
	down to allow for cleaner exits without the use of TerminateThread().

	TerminateThread is evil. No attempt has been made to resolve [Bug
	593810] which may need a new channel driver version for adding a
	registering function within the transfered thread to init the handler
	thread. IOW, initialization of the TSD structure is getting bypassed
	through the thread extension's [thread::transfer] command.

2002-11-26  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/tclWinConsole.c:
	* win/tclWinPipe.c:
	* win/tclWinSerial.c:
	* win/tclWinSock.c:
	* win/tclWinThrd.c:
	* win/tclWinTime.c: General cleanup of all worker threads used by the
	channel drivers. Eliminates the normal case where the worker thread is
	terminated ('cept the winsock one). Instead, use kernel events to

	signal a clean exit. Only when the worker thread is blocked on an I/O
	call is the thread terminated. Essentially, this makes all other
	channel worker threads behave like the PipeReaderThread() function for
	it's cleaner exit behavior. This appears to fix [Bug 597924] but needs
	3rd party confirmation to close the issue.

2002-11-26  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/README: Update msys build env URL. This release #4 build both
	tcl and tk without problems.

2002-11-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* library/init.tcl:	    code cleanup to reduce use of
	* library/opt/optparse.tcl: string compare

	* tests/interp.test: interp-14.4
	* generic/tclInterp.c (TclPreventAliasLoop): prevent seg fault when
	creating an alias command over the interp name. [Bug 641195]

2002-11-18  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclUtil.c (SetEndOffsetFromAny): handle integer offset
	after the "end-" prefix.

	* generic/get.test:
	* generic/string.test:
	* generic/tclObj.c (SetIntFromAny, SetWideIntFromAny):
	* generic/tclGet.c (TclGetLong, Tcl_GetInt): simplify sign handling
	before calling strtoul(l). [Bug 634856]

2002-11-18  David Gravereaux  <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/tclWinThrd.c (Tcl_CreateThread/TclpThreadExit): Fixed improper
	compiler macros that missed the VC++ compiler. This resulted in VC++
	builds using CreateThread()/ExitThread() in place of the proper
	_beginthreadex()/_endthreadex(). This was a large error and am
	surprised I missed seeing it earlier.

2002-11-13  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/regexpComp.test: added tests 22.*
	* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileRegexpCmd): add left and right
	anchoring (^ and $) recognition and check starting or ending .* to
	extend the number of REs that can be compiled to string match or
	string equal.

2002-11-13  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:
	* tests/trace.test: applied patch from Hemang Levana to fix [Bug
	615043] in execution traces with 'return -code error'.

	* generic/tclTestObj.c:
	* tests/stringObj.test: added 'knownBug' test for [Bug 635200]
	* generic/tclStringObj.c: corrected typos in comments

	* generic/tclFileName.c:
	* tests/fileName.test: applied patch for bug reported against tclvfs
	concerning handling of Windows serial ports like 'com1', 'lpt3' by the
	virtual filesystem code.

	* doc/RegExp.3: clarification of the 'extendMatch' return values.


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

	* generic/tclUtil.c (Tcl_Backslash): use TclUtfToUniChar.
	(Tcl_StringCaseMatch): use TclUtfToUniChar and add further
	optimizations for the one-byte/char case.

	* generic/tclUtf.c: make use of TclUtfToUniChar macro throughout the
	functions, and add extra optimization to Tcl_NumUtfChars for
	one-byte/char case.

	* generic/tclVar.c (DisposeTraceResult, CallVarTraces): add proper
	static declarations.

	* generic/tclStringObj.c (Tcl_GetCharLength): optimize for the ascii
	char case.
	(Tcl_GetUniChar): remove unnecessary use of Tcl_UtfToUniChar.
	(FillUnicodeRep): Use TclUtfToUniChar.

	* generic/tclHash.c (HashStringKey): move string++ lower to save an
	instruction.

	* generic/tclExecute.c (TclExecuteByteCode): improve INST_STR_CMP to
	use memcmp in the one-byte/char case, also use direct index for
	INST_STR_INDEX in that case.

	* generic/tclEncoding.c (UtfToUtfProc, UtfToUnicodeProc):
	(TableFromUtfProc, EscapeFromUtfProc): Use TclUtfToUniChar.
	(UnicodeToUtfProc, TableToUtfProc): add 1-byte char optimizations
	for Tcl_UniCharToUtf call. These improve encoded channel conversion
	speeds by up to 20%.

	* tests/split.test: added 1-char string split tests
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (Tcl_SplitObjCmd): Use TclUtfToUniChar. Also
	added a special case for single-ascii-char splits.
	(Tcl_StringObjCmd): Use TclUtfToUniChar. For STR_RANGE, support
	getting ranges of ByteArrays (reverts change from 2000-05-26).

	(TraceExecutionProc) add proper static declaration.

	* generic/tclInt.h: add macro version of Tcl_UtfToUniChar
	(TclUtfToUniChar) that does the one-byte utf-char check without
	calling Tcl_UtfToUniChar, for use by the core. This brings notable
	speedups for primarily ascii string handling.

	* generic/tcl.h (TCL_PATCH_LEVEL): bump to 8.4.1.1 for patchlevel
	only. This interim number will only be reflected by [info patchlevel]


2002-11-11  Kevin Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* doc/Tcl.n: Corrected indentation of the new language. Oops.

2002-11-10  Kevin Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>

	* doc/Tcl.n: Added language to the Endekalogue to make it clear that
	substitutions always take place from left to right. [Bug 635644]


2002-11-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* changes: Note TclInExit TclInThreadExit changes.
	* generic/tclEvent.c (TclInExit, TclInThreadExit):
	Split out functionality of TclInExit to make it clear which one should
	be called in each situation.
	* generic/tclInt.decls: Declare TclInThreadExit.
	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: Regen.
	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regen.
	* mac/tclMacChan.c (StdIOClose):
	* unix/tclUnixChan.c (FileCloseProc):
	* win/tclWinChan.c (FileCloseProc):
	* win/tclWinConsole.c (ConsoleCloseProc):
	* win/tclWinPipe.c (TclpCloseFile):
	* win/tclWinSerial.c (SerialCloseProc): Invoke the new TclInThreadExit
	method instead of TclInExit.

2002-11-06  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/configure: Regen.
	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Generate a fatal configure error if
	no ar program can be found on the path. [Bug 582039]

	* win/configure: Regen.
	* win/configure.in: Check that AR, RANLIB, and RC are found on the
	path when building with gcc.

2002-11-03  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/tclAppInit.c:  Calls Registry_Init() and Dde_Init() when
	STATIC_BUILD and TCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES macros are set.

	* win/makefile.vc:
	* win/rules.vc: linkexten option now sets the TCL_USE_STATIC_PACKAGES
	macro which also adds the registry and dde object files to the link
	of the shell. [Patch 479697]  Also factored some additional macros
	that will be helpful for extension authors. Version grepping of tcl.h
	will need to be added to complete this.

	* win/buildall.vc.bat: Added more descriptive commentary.

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

	* win/tclWinReg.c: Changed the Tcl_PkgProvide() line to declare the
	registry extension at version 1.1 from 1.0.

2002-10-31  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* library/word.tcl: Changed $tcl_platform to $::tcl_platform to avoid
	possible scope trouble.

2002-10-29  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* win/tclWinInt.h:
	* win/tclWin32Dll.c: added comments about certain NULL function
	pointers which will be filled in when Tcl_FindExecutable is called, so
	that users don't report invalid bugs on this topic. (No code changes
	at all).

2002-10-29  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c (TclpFindSymbol): pass all dyld error messages
	upstream [Bug 627546].

2002-10-28  Andreas Kupries  <andreask@activestate.com>

	* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl:
	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl: Changed the hardwired debug suffix (d) to
	the correct suffix (g).

2002-10-28  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/auto.tcl:	Converted the Mac-specific [package unknown]
	* library/init.tcl:	behavior to use a chaining mechanism to extend
	* library/package.tcl:	the default [tclPkgUnknown]. [Bug 627660]
	* library/tclIndex:	[Patch 624509] (steffen)

2002-10-26  David Gravereaux <davygrvy@pobox.com>

	* win/makefile.vc: xcopy on NT 4.0 doesn't support the /Y switch
	(overwrite). Added logic to handle this. [Bug 618019]

2002-10-23  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tclInt.h: Removed definitions of obsolete HistoryEvent and
	HistoryRev structures (the history mechanism has been written in Tcl
	for some time now).

2002-10-22  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	*** 8.4.1 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***

	* changes: updated for 8.4.1 release

	* win/Makefile.in: removed @MEM_DEBUG_FLAGS@ subst.
	* win/configure: regen
	* win/configure.in: removed SC_ENABLE_MEMDEBUG call
	* win/tcl.m4: replaced SC_ENABLE_MEMDEBUG with a more intelligent
	SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS that takes yes|no|mem|compile|all as options now.

2002-10-22  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/auto.tcl (tcl_findLibrary):
	* library/package.tcl (tclPkgUnknown): on macosx, search inside the
	Resources/Scripts subdirectory of any potential package directory
	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: add standard Frameworks dirs to
	TCL_PACKAGE_PATH make argument.
	* unix/tclUnixInit.c (TclpSetVariables): on macosx, add embedded
	framework dirs to tcl_pkgPath: @executable_path/../Frameworks and
	@executable_path/../PrivateFrameworks (if they exist), as well as the
	dirs in DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH (if set). [Patch 624509] use standard
	MAXPATHLEN instead of literal 1024

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

	* doc/StringObj.3, doc/Object.3: Documented that Tcl_Obj's
	standard string form is a modified UTF-8; apparently, this was not
	mentioned anywhere in the main docs, and lead to [Bug 624919].

	* library/reg/pkgIndex.tcl:
	* win/configure:
	* win/configure.in:
	* win/Makefile.in:
	* win/makefile.vc:
	* win/makefile.bc:    Updated to reg1.1

	* doc/registry.n:      Added support for broadcasting changes to the
	* tests/registry.test: registry Environment. Noted proper code in ths
	* win/tclWinReg.c:     docs. [Patch 625453]

	[Patch 623269] (brouwers)

2002-10-11  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* generic/tcl.h: Need a different strategy through the maze of
	#defines to let people building with Cygwin build correctly.  Also
	made some comments less misleading...

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

	* README: fixed minor nits [Bug 607776] (virden)

	* win/configure:

2002-10-09  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* unix/README: doc'ed --enable-symbols options.
	* unix/Makefile.in: removed @MEM_DEBUG_FLAGS@ subst.
	* unix/configure: regen
	* unix/configure.in: removed SC_ENABLE_MEMDEBUG call
	* unix/tcl.m4: replaced SC_ENABLE_MEMDEBUG with a more intelligent
	SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS that takes yes|no|mem|compile|all as options now.

2002-10-09  Kevin B. Kenny  <kennykb@acm.org>

	* win/tclWinTime.c: Added code to set an exit handler that terminates
	the thread that calibrates the performance counter, so that the thread
	won't outlive unloading the Tcl DLL. [Bug 620735].


2002-10-09  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/binary.n: More clarification of [binary scan]'s behaviour.

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

	* generic/tclIntDecls.h: fixed botched regen.

	obsolete <stat.h> definitions.
	* mac/tclMacChan.c: removed obsolete GetOpenMode() and replaced
	associated constants with the <fcntl.h> analogues (they existing defs
	were inconsistent with <fcntl.h> which was causing havoc when
	Tcl_GetOpenMode was used instead of private GetOpenMode).

	* mac/tclMacFCmd.c: removed GenerateUniqueName(), use equivalent (and
	identically named) routine from MoreFiles instead.

	* mac/tclMacLoad.c: CONSTification, fixes to Vince's last changes.

	* mac/tclMacFile.c:
	* mac/tclMacTest.c:
	* mac/tclMacUnix.c: CONSTification.

	* mac/tclMacOSA.c: CONSTification, sprintf fixes, UH 3.4.x changes;
	fix for missing autoname token from TclOSACompileCmd. (bdesgraupes)
	* mac/AppleScript.html(AppleScript delete): doc fix. (bdesgraupes)

	* mac/tcltkMacBuildSupport.sea.hqx: updated MoreFiles to 1.5.3,

	* mac/tclMacProjects.sea.hqx: rebuilt archive.

2002-10-09  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/Alloc.3: Added a note to mention that attempting to allocate a
	zero-length block can return NULL. [Tk Bug 619544]

2002-10-04  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* doc/binary.n: Doc improvements [Patch 616480]

	* tests/fCmd.test, tests/winFCmd.test:
	* tools/eolFix.tcl, tools/genStubs.tcl: [file exist] -> [file exists]
	Thanks to David Welton.

	* doc/tcltest.n: fixed typo [Bug 618018].  Thanks to "JJM".

2002-10-03  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

	* tools/man2help2.tcl:
	* tests/http.test, tests/httpd, tests/httpold.test:
	* tests/env.test, tests/binary.test, tests/autoMkindex.test:
	* library/init.tcl, library/http/http.tcl: [info exist] should really
	be [info exists]. [Bug 602566]

	* doc/lsearch.n: Better specification of what happens when -sorted is
	mixed with other options. [Bug 617816]

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

	* generic/tclProc.c (TclCreateProc): mask out VAR_UNDEFINED for
	precompiled locals to support 8.3 precompiled code.

	as well as integers. [Bug 616843]

2002-09-30  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	Added basic Cygwin support.

	* win/tcl.m4 (SC_PATH_TCLCONFIG): Support one-tree build.
	(SC_PATH_TKCONFIG): Likewise.
	(SC_PROG_TCLSH): Likewise.
	(SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS): Assume real Cygwin port and remove -mno-cygwin
	flags.	Add -mwin32 to extra_cflags and extra_ldflags. Remove ``-e
	_WinMain@16'' from LDFLAGS_WINDOW.
	* win/configure.in: Allow Cygwin build.
	(SEH test): Define to be 1 instead of empty value.
	(EXCEPTION_DISPOSITION): Add test.
	* win/configure: Regenerate.

	* generic/tcl.h: Don't explicitly define __WIN32__ for Cygwin, let the
	user decide whether to use Windows or POSIX personality.

	Cygwin.
	* generic/tclEnv.c (Tcl_CygwinPutenv): putenv replacement for Cygwin.

	(TclpSysRealloc): Define for Cygwin.

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

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

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

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

	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_TCL_64BIT_FLAGS): Yet more robust 64-bit value
	detection to close [Bug 613117] on more systems.

	* generic/tclCompile.c (TclPrintSource): More CONSTifying.
	* generic/tclExecute.c (EvalStatsCmd): Object-ify to reduce warnings.
	Thanks to 'CoderX2' on the chat for bringing this to my attention...


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

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

2002-09-22  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Corrected [puts -nonewline] within
	test bodies. Thanks to Harald Kirsch. [Bug 612786, Patch 612788] Also
	corrected reporting of body return code. Thanks to David Taback [Bug
	611922]
	* library/tcltest/pkgIndex.tcl: Bump to version 2.2.1.
	* tests/tcltest.test: added tests for these bugs.

2002-09-15  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

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

	cleaned up before it is closed.

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

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

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

	* generic/tcl.h:
	* mac/tclMacApplication.r:
	* mac/tclMacLibrary.r:
	* mac/tclMacResource.r: unified use of the two equivalent resource
	compiler header inclusion defines RC_INVOKED and RESOURCE_INCLUDED,
	now use RC_INVOKED throughout.

2002-09-10  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* unix/README: Add note about building extensions with the same
	compiler Tcl was built with. [Tk Bug 592096]


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

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

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

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

	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj:
	* macosx/Makefile: added support for building Tcl as an embedded

2002-09-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* doc/tcltest.n:  Clarified phrasing.

	* generic/tclBasic.c (TclRenameCommand,CallCommandTraces):

	trace deleted the command being traced. Test added. Thanks to Hemang
	Lavana for the fix. [Bug 604609]

	* generic/tclVar.c (TclDeleteVars):  Corrected logic for setting the
	TCL_INTERP_DESTROYED flag when calling variable traces. [Tk Bug 605121]

2002-09-04  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclVar.c (DeleteArray): leak plug [Bug 604239]. Thanks to
	dkf and dgp for the long and difficult discussion in the chat.

2002-09-03  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UpVar2): code cleanup to not use goto

	* unix/configure: remove -pthread from LIBS on FreeBSD in thread
	* unix/tcl.m4:	  enabled build. [Bug 602849]

2002-09-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclInterp.c (AliasCreate): a Tcl_Obj was leaked on error
	return from TclPreventAliasLoop.

2002-09-03  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* macosx/Tcl.pbproj/project.pbxproj: Bumped version number to 8.4.0
	and updated copyright info.

2002-09-03  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclVar.c (Tcl_UpVar2): a Tcl_Obj was being leaked on error
	return from TclGetFrame.

2002-09-03  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* changes:  Updated changes for 8.4.0 release.

2002-09-02  Jeff Hobbs  <jeffh@ActiveState.com>

	* unix/tclUnixFile.c (TclpObjLink): removed unnecessary/unfreed
	extra native char*.

	[Patch 601051] (martin)

	* README:		Bumped version number to 8.4.0
	* generic/tcl.h:
	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
	* unix/configure:
	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tcl.spec:
	* win/README.binary:
	* win/configure:
	* win/configure.in:

	* generic/tclInterp.c (SlaveCreate): make sure that the memory and
	checkmem commands are initialized in non-safe slave interpreters when
	TCL_MEM_DEBUG is used. [Bug 583445]

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

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

	* tests/http.test (http-3.11): added close $fp that was causing an
	error on Windows because the file was not closed before deleting.

	function only appear when HAVE_CFBUNDLE is defined.

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

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

	* unix/configure: regen

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

	*** macosx-8-4-branch merged into the mainline [Patch 602770] ***

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

	* tools/genStubs.tcl: added generation of platform guards for macosx.
	This is a little more complex than it seems, because MacOS X IS "unix"
	plus a little bit, for the purposes of Tcl. BUT unfortunately, Tk uses
	"unix" to mean X11. So added platform keys for macosx (the little
	added to "unix"), "aqua" and "x11" to distinguish these for Tk.


	* generic/tcl.h: added a #ifnded RESOURCE_INCLUDED so that tcl.h can
	be passed to the resource compiler.

	* generic/tcl.h:
	* generic/tclNotify.c: added a few Notifier procs, to be able to
	modify more bits of the Tcl notifier dynamically. Required to get Mac
	OS X Tk to live on top of the Tcl Unix threaded notifier.  Changes the
	size of the Tcl_NotifierProcs structure, but doesn't move any elements
	around.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpFinalizeThreadData, TclWinFreeAllocCache):
	Applied patch for [Bug 599428] (sofer)


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

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


	* unix/configure: regen'd

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

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

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

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

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

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

	* generic/tclThreadAlloc.c: small optimisation, reducing the new
	allocator's overhead.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	* README:		Bumped version number to 8.4b3 to distinguish
	* generic/tcl.h:	HEAD from the 8.4b2 release.
	* tools/tcl.wse.in:
	* unix/configure.in:
	* unix/tcl.spec:
	* win/README.binary:
	* win/configure.in:

	* unix/configure:	autoconf
	* win/configure:

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

	* unix/tclUnixTest.c (TestfilehandlerCmd): Changed
	readable/writable to the more common readable|writable.
	Fixes [Bug 596034] (lvirden)



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

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

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

	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclObj.c: (code cleanup) factored the parts in the macros
	TclNewObj() / TclDecrRefCount() into a common part for all memory
	allocators and two new macros TclAllocObjStorage() /
	TclFreeObjStorage() that are specific to each allocator and fully
	describe the differences. Removed allocator-specific code from
	tclObj.c by using the macros.

2002-08-12  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: fixing UMR in delete traces, [Bug 589863].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	*** 8.4b2 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***

	* tests/fCmd.test:
	* tests/unixFCmd.test: updated tests for new link copy behavior.
	* generic/tclFCmd.c (CopyRenameOneFile): changed the behavior to
	follow links to endpoints and copy that file/directory instead of just
	copying the surface link. This means that trying to copy a link that
	has no endpoint (danling link) is an error. [Patch 591647] (darley)

	(CopyRenameOneFile): this is currently disabled by default until
	further issues with such behavior (like relative links) can be handled
	correctly.

	* tests/README: slight wording improvements

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

	* docs/BoolObj.3: added description of valid string reps for a boolean
	object [Bug 584794]
	* generic/tclObj.c: optimised Tcl_GetBooleanFromObj and
	SetBooleanFromAny to avoid parsing the string rep when it can be
	avoided [Bugs 584650, 472576]

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

	* generic/tclCompile.h:
	* generic/tclObj.c: making tclCmdNameType static [Bug 584567] (dgp)


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

	* generic/tclObj.c (Tcl_NewObj): added conditional code for
	USE_THREAD_ALLOC; objects allocated through Tcl_NewObj() were
	otherwise being leaked. [Bug 587488] reported by Sven Sass.

2002-08-06  Daniel Steffen  <das@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclInt.decls:
	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Added stubs and implementations for non-threaded
	build for the tclUnixThrd.c procs TclpReaddir, TclpLocaltime,

	TclpGmtime and TclpInetNtoa. Fixes link errors in stubbed & threaded
	extensions that include tclUnixPort.h and use any of the procs
	readdir, localtime, gmtime or inet_ntoa (e.g. TclX 8.4) [Bug 589526]
	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h:
	* generic/tclStubInit.c: Regen.

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

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

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

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

	* doc/CmdCmplt.3:	Applied Patch 585105 to fully CONST-ify
	* doc/Concat.3:		all remaining public interfaces of Tcl.
	* doc/CrtCommand.3:	Notably, the parser no longer writes on
	* doc/CrtSlave.3:	the string it is parsing, so it is no
	* doc/CrtTrace.3:	longer necessary for Tcl_Eval() to be
	* doc/Eval.3:		given a writable string.  Also, the
	* doc/ExprLong.3:	refactoring of the Tcl_*Var* routines
	* doc/LinkVar.3:	by Miguel Sofer is included, so that the
	* doc/ParseCmd.3:	"part1" argument for them no longer needs
	* doc/SetVar.3:		to be writable either.
	* doc/TraceVar.3:
	* doc/UpVar.3:		Compatibility support has been enhanced so
	* generic/tcl.decls:	that a #define of USE_NON_CONST will remove
	* generic/tcl.h:	all possible source incompatibilities with
	* generic/tclBasic.c:	the 8.3 version of the header file(s).
	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:	The new #define of USE_COMPAT_CONST now does
	* generic/tclCompCmds.c:what USE_NON_CONST used to do -- disable
	* generic/tclCompExpr.c:only those new CONST's that introduce
	* generic/tclCompile.c:	irreconcilable incompatibilities.
	* generic/tclCompile.h:
	* generic/tclDecls.h:	Several bugs are also fixed by this patch.
	* generic/tclEnv.c:	[Bugs 584051,580433] [Patches 585105,582429]

2002-08-01  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c: bugfix (reading freed memory). Testsuite
	passed on linux/i386, compile-13.1 hung on linux/alpha.

2002-08-01  Miguel Sofer  <msofer@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclExecute.c: added a reference count for the complete
	execution stack, instead of Tcl_Preserve/Tcl_Release.

2002-08-01  Mo DeJong  <mdejong@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclCkalloc.c (TclFinalizeMemorySubsystem): Don't lock the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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


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

	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_SERIAL_PORT): Fixed detection for cases when
					configure's stdin is not a tty.

	* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
	* generic/tclIOSock.c:		Changed size_t to socklen_t in
					socket-related function calls.

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

	* unix/configure:		generated.

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

	* generic/tclObj.c: fixed a comment

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

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

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

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

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


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

	* unix/Makefile.in: Revert fix for Tcl bug 529801 since it was
	incorrect and broke the build on other systems. Fix [Bug 587299]. Add

	MAJOR_VERSION, MINOR_VERSION, PATCH_LEVEL, SHLIB_LD_FLAGS,
	SHLIB_LD_LIBS, CC_SEARCH_FLAGS, LD_SEARCH_FLAGS, and LIB_FILE

	variables to support more generic library build/install rules.
	* unix/configure: Regen.
	* unix/configure.in: Move AC_PROG_RANLIB into tcl.m4. Move shared

	build test and setting of MAKE_LIB and MAKE_STUB_LIB into tcl.m4. Move
	subst of a number of variables into tcl.m4 where they are defined.

	* unix/tcl.m4 (SC_ENABLE_SYMBOLS, SC_CONFIG_CFLAGS):
	Subst vars where they are defined. Add MAKE_LIB, MAKE_STUB_LIB,

	INSTALL_LIB, and INSTALL_STUB_LIB rules to deal with the ugly details
	of running ranlib on static libs at build and install time. Replace
	TCL_SHLIB_LD_EXTRAS with SHLIB_LD_FLAGS and use it when building a
	shared library.
	* unix/tclConfig.sh.in: Add TCL_CC_SEARCH_FLAGS.

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

	* generic/tclExecute.c: fixed Tcl_Obj leak in code corresponding to
	the macro NEXT_INST_V(x, 0, 1). [Bug 587495]

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

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


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

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

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

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

2002-07-25  Joe English  <jenglish@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclProc.c: fix for [Tk Bug 219218] "error handling with
	bgerror in Tk"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: made tclNativeFilesystem static (since 07-19
	changes removed its usage elsewhere), and added comments about its
	usage.
	* generic/tclLoad.c:
	* generic/tcl.h:
	* generic/tcl.decls:
	* doc/FileSystem.3: converted last load-related ClientData parameter
	to Tcl_LoadHandle opaque structure, removing a couple of casts in the
	process.

	* generic/tclInt.h: removed tclNativeFilesystem declaration since it
	is now static again.

2002-07-22  Donal K. Fellows  <fellowsd@cs.man.ac.uk>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	version 2.13. [Bug 583573]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	* generic/tclFCmd.c:
	* tests/fileSystem.test: fixed a 'knownBug' with 'file
	attributes ""'
	* tests/winFCmd.test:
	* tests/winPipe.test:
	* tests/fCmd.test:
	* tessts/winFile.test: added 'pcOnly' constraint to some tests to make
	for more useful 'tests skipped' log from running all tests on
	non-Windows platforms.

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

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


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

	* tests/ioUtil.test: added constraints to 1.4,2.4 so they don't run
	outside of tcltest. [Bugs 583276,583277]

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

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

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

	* generic/tclVar.c (TclPtrIncrVar): missing CONST in declarations,
	inconsistent with tclInt.h. Thanks to Vince Darley for reporting, boo
	to gcc for not complaining.

2002-07-17  Vince Darley  <vincentdarley@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
	* generic/tclLoadNone.c:
	* unix/tclLoadAout.c:
	* unix/tclLoadDl.c:
	* unix/tclLoadDld.c:
	* unix/tclLoadDyld.c:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	** WARNING FOR BYTECODE MAINTAINERS **
	TCL_COMPILE_DEBUG is currently not functional; will be fixed ASAP.

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

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

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

	* unix/Makefile.in: Use dltest.marker file to keep track of when the

	dltest package is up to date. This fixes [Bug 575768] since tcltest is
	no longer linked every time.
	* unix/dltest/Makefile.in: Create ../dltest.marker after a successful
	`make all` run in dltest.

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

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

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

	* generic/tclVar.c: inaccurate comment fixed

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

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


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

	* generic/tclVar.c: refactorisation to reuse already looked-up Var
	pointers; definition of three new Tcl_Obj types to cache variable name
	parsing and lookup for later reuse; modification of internal functions
	to profit from the caching.

	* generic/tclInt.decls:
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:
	* generic/tclNamesp.c: adding CONST qualifiers to variable names
	passed to Tcl_FindNamespaceVar and to variable resolvers; adding CONST
	qualifier to the 'msg' argument to TclLookupVar. Needed to avoid code
	duplication in the new tclVar.c code.

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

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

	* tests/unixInit.test:	Improved constraints to protect /tmp. [Bug
	581403]

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

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

2002-07-14  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* generic/tclInt.h:	Removed declarations that duplicated entries
	in the (internal) stub table.

	* library/tcltest/tcltest.tcl:	Corrected errors in handling of
	configuration options -constraints and -limitconstraints.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	* tests/winPipe.test:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	* tests/cmdAH.test:
	* tests/fCmd.test:
	* tests/fileName.test: tests which rely on 'file link' need a
	constraint so they don't run on older Windows OS. [Bug 578158]
	* generic/tclIOUtil.c:
	* generic/tcl.h:
	* generic/tclInt.h:
	* generic/tclTest.c:
	* mac/tclMacChan.c:
	* unix/tclUnixChan.c:
	* win/tclWinChan.c:
	* doc/FileSystem.3: cleaned up internal handling of
	Tcl_FSOpenFileChannel to remove duplicate code, and make writing
	external vfs's clearer and easier. No functionality change. Also

	clarify that objects with refCount zero should not be passed in to the
	Tcl_FS API, and prevent segfaults from occuring on such user errors.
	[Bug 578617]

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

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

2002-07-05  Don Porter  <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

	* changes: added recent changes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	*** 8.4b1 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***

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

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

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

	* tests/basic.test: Same issue as below; fixed [Bug 575817]

2002-07-04  Andreas Kupries  <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>

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

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

	* tests/iogt.test: Fixed [Bug 575860]
	* tests/io.test:   Fixed [Bug 575862]
	* tests/exec.test:
	* tests/ioCmd.test: Fixed [Bug 575836]

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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