    27 	* generic/tclThreadTest.c: changed thread ids to longs [Bug: 3902]

    28 

    29 	* mac/tclMacOSA.c: fixed applescript for I18N [Bug: 3644]

    30

    32 	* win/rmd.bat: removed necessity of tag.txt [Bug: 3874]

    33 

    34 	* win/tclWinThrd.c: changed CreateThread to _beginthreadex and

    35 	ExitThread to _endthreadex

    36 

    37 1999-12-12  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

    38 

    39 	* doc/glob.n:

    40 	* tests/fileName.test:

    41 	* generic/tclInt.decls:

    42 	* generic/tclInt.h:

    43 	* generic/tclIntDecls.h:

    44 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:

    45 	* generic/tclEncoding.c:

    46 	* generic/tclFileName.c:

    47 	* mac/tclMacFile.c:

    48 	* unix/tclUnixFile.c:

    49 	* win/tclWinFile.c: enhanced the glob command with the new options

    50 	-types -path -directory and -join.  Deprecated TclpMatchFiles with

    51 	TclpMatchFilesTypes, extended TclGlob and TclDoGlob and added

    52 	GlobTypeData structure. [Bug: 2363]

    53 

    54 1999-12-10  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

    55 

    56 	* tests/var.test:

    57 	* generic/tclCompile.c: fixed problem where setting to {} array

    58 	would intermittently not work. (Fontaine) [Bug: 3339]

    59 

    60 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:

    61 	* generic/tclExecute.c: optimized INST_TRY_CVT_TO_NUMERIC to

    62 	recognize boolean objects. (Spjuth) [Bug: 2815]

    63 

    64 	* tests/info.test:

    65 	* tests/parseOld.test:

    66 	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:

    67 	* generic/tclProc.c: changed Tcl_UplevelObjCmd (uplevel) and

    68 	Tcl_EvalObjCmd (eval) to use TCL_EVAL_DIRECT in the single arg

    69 	case as well, to take advantage	of potential pure list input

    70 	optimization.  This means that it won't get byte compiled though,

    71 	which should be acceptable.

    72 	* generic/tclBasic.c: made Tcl_EvalObjEx pure list object aware in

    73 	the TCL_EVAL_DIRECT case for efficiency.

    74 	* generic/tclUtil.c: made Tcl_ConcatObj pure list object aware,

    75 	and return a list object in that case [Bug: 2098 2257]

    76 

    77 	* generic/tclMain.c: changed Tcl_Main to not constantly reuse the

    78 	commandPtr object (interactive case) as it could be shared. (Fellows)

    79 

    80 	* unix/configure.in:

    81 	* unix/tcl.m4:

    82 	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c: removed checking for compatible vfork

    83 	function and use of the vfork function.  Modern VM systems rarely

    84 	suffer any performance degradation when fork is used, and it

    85 	solves multiple problems with vfork.  Users that still want vfork

    86 	can add -Dfork=vfork to the compile flags. [Bug: 942 2228 1312]

    87 

    88 1999-12-09  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

    89 

    90 	* win/aclocal.m4: made it just include tcl.m4

    91 

    92 	* doc/exec.n:

    93 	* doc/open.n:

    94 	* win/tclWin32Dll.c:

    95 	* win/tclWinChan.c:

    96 	* win/tclWinFCmd.c:

    97 	* win/tclWinInit.c:

    98 	* win/tclWinPipe.c:

    99 	* win/tclWinSock.c: removed all code that supported Win32s.  It

   100 	was no longer officially supported, and likely didn't work anyway.

   101 	* win/makefile.vc: removed 16 bit stuff, cleaned up.

   102 

   103 	* win/tcl16.rc:

   104 	* win/tclWin16.c:

   105 	* win/winDumpExts.c: these files have been removed from the

   106 	source tree (no longer necessary to build)

   107 

   108 1999-12-07  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

   109 

   110 	* tests/io.test: removed 'knownBug' tests that were for

   111 	unsupported0, which is now fcopy (that already has tests)

   112 

   113 	* mac/tclMacPort.h: added utime.h include

   114 

   115 	* generic/tclDate.c:

   116 	* unix/Makefile.in: fixed make gendate to swap const with CONST

   117 	so it uses the Tcl defined CONST type [Bug: 3521]

   118 

   119 	* generic/tclIO.c: removed panic that could occur in FlushChannel

   120 	when a "blocking" channel would receive EAGAIN, instead treating

   121 	it the same as non-blocking. [Bug: 3773]

   122 

   123 	* generic/tclUtil.c: fixed Tcl_ScanCountedElement to not step

   124 	beyond the end of the counted string [Bug: 3336]

   125 

   126 1999-12-03  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

   127 

   128 	* doc/load.n: added note about NT's buggy handling of './' with

   129 	LoadLibrary

   130 

   131 	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: fixed error handling in http::Event

   132 	[Bug: 3752]

   133 

   134 	* tests/env.test: removed knownBug limitation from working test

   135 	* tests/all.tcl: ensured that ::tcltest::testsDirectory would be

   136 	set to an absolute path

   137 

   138 	* tests/expr-old.test:

   139 	* tests/parseExpr.test:

   140 	* tests/string.test:

   141 	* generic/tclGet.c:

   142 	* generic/tclInt.h:

   143 	* generic/tclObj.c:

   144 	* generic/tclParseExpr.c:

   145 	* generic/tclUtil.c:

   146 	* generic/tclExecute.c: added TclCheckBadOctal routine to enhance

   147 	error message checking for when users use invalid octal numbers

   148 	(like 08), as well as replumbed the Expr*Funcs with a new

   149 	VerifyExprObjType to simplify type handling. [Bug: 2467]

   150 

   151 	* tests/expr.test:

   152 	* generic/tclCompile.c: fixed 'bad code length' error for

   153 	'expr + {[incr]}' case, with new test case [Bug: 3736]

   154 	and seg fault on 'expr + {[error]}' (different cause) that

   155 	was caused by a correct optimization that didn't correctly

   156 	track how it was modifying the source string in the opt.

   157 	The optimization was removed, which means that:

   158 		expr 1 + {[string length abc]}

   159 	will be not be compiled inline as before, but this should be

   160 	written:

   161 		expr {1 + [string length abc]}

   162 	which will be compiled inline for speed.  This prevents

   163 		expr 1 + {[mindless error]}

   164 	from seg faulting, and only affects optimizations for

   165 	degenerate cases [Bug: 3737]

   166 

   167 1999-12-01  Scott Redman <redman@scriptics.com>

   168 

   169 	* generic/tcl.decls :

   170 	* generic/tclMain.c :

   171 	* unix/tclAppInit.c: 

   172 	* win/tclAppInit.c: Added two new internal functions,

   173 	TclSetStartupScriptFileName() and TclGetStartupScriptFileName()

   174 	and added hooks into the main() code for supporting TclPro and

   175 	other "big" shells more easily without requiring a copy of the

   176 	main() code.

   177 	

   178 	* generic/tclEncoding.c:

   179 	* generic/tclEvent.c:  Moved encoding-related startup code from

   180 	tclEvent.c into the more appropriate tclEncoding.c.

   181 	

   182 1999-11-30  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

   183 

   184 	* generic/tclIO.c: fix from Kupries for	Tcl_UnstackChannel that

   185 	correctly handles resetting translation and encoding.

   186 

   187 	* generic/tclLoad.c: #def'd out the unloading of DLLs at finalize

   188 	time for Unix in TclFinalizeLoad. [Bug: 2560 3373]  Should be

   189 	parametrized to allow for user to specify unload or not.

   190 

   191 	* win/tclWinTime.c: fixed handling of %Z on NT for time zones

   192 	that don't have DST.

   193 

   194 1999-11-29  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

   195 

   196 	* library/dde1.1/pkgIndex.tcl:

   197 	* library/reg1.0/pkgIndex.tcl: added supported for debugged

   198 	versions of the libraries

   199 

   200 	* unix/tclUnixPipe.c: fixed PipeBlockModeProc to properly set

   201 	isNonBlocking flag on pipe. [Bug: 1356 710]

   202 	removed spurious fcntl call from PipeBlockModeProc

   203 

   204 	* tests/scan.test:

   205 	* generic/tclScan.c: fixed scan where %[..] didn't match anything

   206 	and added test case [Bug: 3700]

   207 

   208 1999-11-24  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

   209 

   210 	* doc/open.n:

   211 	* win/tclWinSerial.c: adopted patch from Schroedter to handle

   212 	fconfigure $sock -lasterror on Windows. [RFE: 3368]

   213 

   214 	* generic/tclCmdIL.c: made SORTMODE_INTEGER work with Longs

   215 	[Bug: 3652]

   216 

   217 1999-11-23  Scott Stanton  <stanton@scriptics.com>

   218 

   219 	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Fixed bug where tcltest output

   220 	went to stdout instead of the specified output file in some

   221 	cases.

   222 

   223 1999-11-19  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

   224 

   225 	* generic/tclProc.c: backed out change from 1999-11-18 as it

   226 	could affect return string from upvar as well.

   227 

   228 	* tools/tcl.wse.in: added tcltest1.0 library to distribution list

   229 

   230 	* doc/http.n:

   231 	* library/http2.1/http.tcl:

   232 	* library/http2.1/pkgIndex.tcl: updated http package to 2.2

   233 

   234 1999-11-18  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

   235 

   236 	* unix/tcl.m4: added defined for _THREAD_SAFE in --enable-threads

   237 	case; added check for pthread_mutex_init in libc; in AIX case,

   238 	with --enable-threads ${CC}_r is used; fixed flags when using gcc

   239 	on SCO

   259 	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: added register and unregister

   260 	commands to http:: package (better support for tls/SSL),

   261 	as well as -type argument to http::geturl. [RFE: 2617]

   262 

   263 	* generic/tclBasic.c: removed extra decr of numLevels in

   264 	Tcl_EvalObjEx that could cause seg fault. (mjansen@wendt.de)

   265 

   266 	* generic/tclEvent.c: fixed possible lack of MutexUnlock in

   267 	Tcl_DeleteExitHandler [Bug: 3545]

   277 	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Correctly fixed the -timeout

   278 	problem mentioned in the 10-29 change.  Also added error

   279 	handling for failed writes on the socket during the protocol.

   280 

   281 1999-11-09  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

   282 

   283 	* doc/open.n: corrected docs for 'a' open mode.

   284 

   285 	* generic/tclIOUtil.c: changed Tcl_Alloc to ckalloc

   286 

   287 	* generic/tclInt.h:

   288 	* generic/tclObj.c: rolled back changes from 1999-10-29

   289 	Purify noted new leaks with that code

   290 

   291 	* generic/tclParse.c: added code in Tcl_ParseBraces to test for

   292 	possible unbalanced open brace in a comment

   293 

   294 	* library/init.tcl: removed the installed binary directory from

   295 	the auto_path variable

   296 

   297 	* tools/tcl.wse.in: updated to 8.3a1, fixed install of twind.tcl

   298 	and koi8-r.enc files

   299 

   300 	* unix/tcl.m4: added recognition of pthreads library for AIX

   301 

   302 1999-10-29  Brent Welch <welch@scriptics.com>

   303 	* generic/tclInt.h: Modified the TclNewObj and TclDecrRefCount

   304 	in two ways.  First, in the case of TCL_THREADS, we do not use

   305 	the special Tcl_Obj allocator because that is a source of 

   306 	lock contention.  Second, general code cleanup to eliminate

   307 	duplicated code. In particular, TclDecrRefCount now uses

   308 	TclFreeObj instead of duplicating that code, so it is now

   309 	identical to Tcl_DecrRefCount.

   310 

   311 	* generic/tclObj.c: Changed Tcl_NewObj so it uses the

   312 	TclNewObj macro instead of duplicating the code.  Adjusted

   313 	TclFreeObj so it understands the TCL_THREADS case described

   314 	above.

   315 

   316 	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: Fixed a bug in the handling of

   317 	the state(status) variable when the -timeout flag is specified.

   318 	Previously it was possible to leave the status undefined

   319 	instead of empty, which caused errors in http::status

   320 

   321 1999-10-28  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

   322 

   323 	* unix/aclocal.m4: made it just include tcl.m4

   324 

   325 	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: updated makeFile to return

   326 	full pathname of file created

   327 

   328 	* generic/tclStringObj.c: fixed Tcl_AppendStringsToObjVA so it only

   329 	iterates once over the va_list (avoiding a memcpy of it,

   330 	which is not portable).

   331 

   332 	* generic/tclEnv.c: fixed possible ABR error in environ array

   333 

   334 	* tests/scan.test:

   335 	* generic/tclScan.c: added support for use of inline scan,

   336 	XPG3 currently not included

   337 

   338 	* tests/incr.test:

   339 	* tests/set.test:

   340 	* generic/tclCompCmds.c: fixed improper bytecode handling of

   341 	'eval {set array($unknownvar) 5}' (also for incr) [Bug: 3184]

   342 

   343 	* win/tclWinTest.c: added testvolumetype command, as atime is

   344 	completely ignored for Windows FAT file systems

   345 	* win/tclWinPort.h: added sys/utime.h to includes

   346 	* unix/tclUnixPort.h: added utime.h to includes

   347 	* doc/file.n:

   348 	* tests/cmdAH.test:

   349 	* generic/tclCmdAH.c: added time arguments to atime and mtime

   350 	file command methods (support 'touch' functionality)

   351 

   352 1999-10-20  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

   353 

   354 	* unix/tclUnixNotfy.c: fixed event/io threading problems by

   355 	making triggerPipe non-blocking [Bug: 2792]

   356 

   357 	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl:

   358 	* generic/tclThreadTest.c: fixed mem leaks in threads

   359 

   360 	* generic/tclResult.c: fixed Tcl_AppendResultVA so it only

   361 	iterates once over the va_list (avoiding a memcpy of it,

   362 	which is not portable).

   363 

   364 	* generic/regc_color.c: fixed mem leak and assertion, from HS

   365 

   366 	* generic/tclCompile.c: removed savedChar trick that appeared to

   367 	be causing a segv when the literal table was released

   368 

   369 	* tests/string.test:

   370 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: fixed [string index] to return ByteArrayObj

   371 	when indexing into one (test case string-5.16) [Bug: 2871]

   372 

   373 	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: protected gets with catch [Bug: 2665]

   374 

   375 1999-10-19  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@scriptics.com>

   376 

   377 	* tests/tcltest.test:

   378 	* doc/tcltest.n:

   379 	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Removed the extra return at the

   380 	end of the tcltest.tcl file, added version information about tcl.

   381 

   382 	Applied patches sent in by Andreas Kupries to add helper procs for

   383 	debug output, add 3 new flags (-testsdir, -load, -loadfile), and

   384 	internally refactors common code for dealing with paths into

   385 	separate procedures. [Bug: 2838, 2842]

   386 

   387 	Merged code from core-8-2-1 branch that changes the checks for the

   388 	value of tcl_interactive to also incorporate a check for the

   389 	existence of the variable.

   390 

   391 	* tests/autoMkindex.test:

   392 	* tests/pkgMkIndex.test: Explicitly cd to

   393 	::tcltest::testsDirectory at the beginning of the test run

   394 

   395 	* tests/basic.test: Use version information defined in tcltest

   396 	instead of hardcoded version number

   397 

   398 	* tests/socket.test: package require tcltest before attempting to

   399 	use variable defined in tcltest namespace

   400 

   401 	* tests/unixInit.test: 

   402 	* tests/unixNotfy.test: Added explicit exits needed to avoid

   403 	problems when the tests area run in wish.

   404 	

   405 1999-10-12  Jim Ingham  <jingham@scriptics.com>

   801 	(e.g. wrong # arguments).  

   802 

   803 1999-07-30  Jeff Hobbs  <hobbs@scriptics.com>

   804 

   805 	* generic/tclInt.decls: added declaractions necessary for the

   806 	Tcl test code to work wth stubs [Bug: 2445]

   807 

   808 1999-07-30    <redman@scriptics.com>

   809 

   810 	* win/tclWinPipe.c:

   811 	* win/Makefile.in: Fixing launching of 16-bit apps on Win9x from

   812 	wish.  The command line was primed with tclpip82.dll, but it was

   813 	ignored.  Fixed that, then fixed the gmake makefile to build

   814 	tclpip82.dll as an executable.

   815 

   816 	* win/tclWinSock.c: Applied small patch to get thread-specific

   817 	data after initializing the socket driver.

   818 

   819 	* unix/tclUnixThrd.c: Applied patch to fix threads on Irix 6.5.

   820 	Patch from James Dennett.  [Bug: 2450]

   821 

   822 	* tests/info.test: Enable test for tclParse.c change (info

   823 	complete).

   830 	brackets [Bug: 2382, 2466]

   831 	

   832 1999-07-29    <redman@scriptics.com>

   833 

   834 	* win/tclWinChan.c: Allow tcl to open CON and NUL, even for std

   835 	channels.  Checking for bad/unusable std channels was moved to Tk

   836 	since its only purpose was to check whether to use the Tk Console

   837 	Window for the std channels.  [Bug: 2393 2392 2209 2458]

   838 

   839 	* unix/mkLinks.tcl: Applied patch to avoid linking pack.n to

   840 	pack-old.n.  Patch from Don Porter. [Bug: 2469]

   845 	* win/tclWinSock.c:  Free Win32 Event handles when destroying

   846 	the socket helper thread.

   847 

   848 1999-07-28    <jenn@scriptics.com>

   849 

   850 	* tests/tcltest.test:

   851 	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Fixed the condition under which

   852 	::tcltest::PrintError had an infinite loop problem and added a

   853 	test case for it.  Added an optional argument to

   854 	::tcltest::getMatchingFiles telling it where to search for test

   855 	files. 

   856 

   857 1999-07-27    <redman@scriptics.com>

   858 

   859 	* tools/tclSplash.bmp:  Updated Windows installer bitmap

   860 	to ready Tcl/Tk Version 8.2.

   861 

   862 1999-07-26    <redman@scriptics.com>

   863 

   864 	* tests/tcltest.test:  Need to close the new core file, there

   865 	seems to be a hang in threaded WinNT if the file isn't closed.

   866 	Open issue, need to fix that hang.

   867 

   868 	* tests/httpold.test:  Add time delay in response from Http server

   869 	so that test cases can properly detect timeout conditions with

   870 	threads enabled on multi-CPU WinNT.

   871 

   872 	* tests/winFCmd.test:  Test case winFcmd-1.33 was looking for

   873 	c:\windows, which may not exist.  Instead, create a new directory

   874 	on c:\ and use it for the test.

   875 

   876 	* win/tclWinConsole.c:

   877 	* win/tclWinPipe.c:

   878 	* win/tclWinSock.c:  Fix terminating helper threads by holding any

   879 	mutexes from the primary thread while waiting for the helper

   880 	thread to terminate.  Without these changes, the test suite hangs

   881 	on WinNT with 2 CPUs and threads enabled.  Open issue, seems to be

   882 	a sporadic hang on dual CPU systems still (very rare).

   883 

   884 1999-07-26  Jennifer Hom  <jenn@scriptics.com>

   885 

   886 	* tests/tcltest.test:

   887 	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl:

   888 	* doc/tcltest.n: Cleaned up code in ::tcltest::PrintError, revised

   889 	documentation, and added tests for the tcltest package.

   890 

   891 1999-07-23    <redman@scriptics.com>

   892 

   893 	* tests/info.test:

   894 	* generic/tclParse.c:  Removed patch for info command, breaks test

   895 	cases on Unix.  Patch was bad and needs to be redone

   896 	properly. [Bug: 2382]

   897 

   898 1999-07-22    <redman@scriptics.com>

   899 

   900 	* Changed version to 8.2b2.

   901 

   902 	* win/tclWinSock.c: Fixed hang with threads enabled, fixed

   903 	semaphores with threads disabled.

   904 

   905 	* win/safe.test: Fixed safe-6.3 with threads enabled.

   906 	

   907 	* win/Makefile.in:  Fixed calling of tcltest to fix safe.test

   908 	failures due to path TCL_LIBRARY path.

   909 

   910 	* win/tclWinPort.h: Block out include of sys/*.h in order to

   911 	build extensions with MetroWerks compiler for Win32. [Bug: 2385]

   912 	

   913 	* generic/tclCmdMZ.c:

   914 	* generic/tclIO.c: Fix ANSI-style prototypes based on patch from

   915 	Ulrich Ring.  [Bug: 2391]

   916 	

   917 	* unix/Makefile.in: Need to make install-sh executable before

   918 	calling (with chmod +x).  [Bug: 2413]

   919 	

   920 	* tests/var.test:

   921 	* generic/tclVar.c:  Fixed bug that caused a seg. fault when using

   922 	"array set a(b) {}", which is a bad array name anyway.  Now the

   923 	"array set" command will return an error in this case.  Added test

   924 	case and fixed existing test. [Bug: 2427]

   925 

   926 1999-07-21    <redman@scriptics.com>

   927 

   928 	* tests/info.test:

   929 	* generic/tclParse.c:  Applied patch to fix "info complete"

   930 	for the string {[a [b]}.  Patch from Peter Spjuth. [Bug: 2382]

   931 

   932 	* doc/Utf.3:

   933 	* generic/tcl.decls:

   934 	* generic/tclDecls.h:

   935 	* generic/tclUtf.c: Changed function declarations in

   936 	non-platform-specific public APIs to use "unsigned long" instead of

   937 	"size_t", which may not be defined on certain compilers (rather

   938 	than include sys/types.h, which may not exist).

   939 	

   940 	* unix/Makefile.in: Added the Windows configure script to the

   941 	distribution file list, already shipping configure.in and the .m4

   942 	files, but needed the configure script itself.

   943 	

   944 	* win/makefile.vc: Changed version number of DDE package in VC++

   945 	makefile to use 1.1 instead of 1.0.

   946 

   947 	* doc/open.n: Added documentation of \\.\comX notation for opening

   948 	serial ports on Windows (alternative to comX:).

   949 	

   950 	* tests/ioCmd.test:

   951 	* doc/open.n:

   952 	* win/tclWinSerial.c: Applied patch from Rolf Schroedter to add

   953 	-pollinterval option to fconfigure to modify the maxblocktime used

   954 	in the fileevent polling. Added documentation and fixed the test

   955 	case as well.

   956 	

   957 	* win/tclWinSock.c: Modified 8.1.0 version of the Win32 socket

   958 	driver to move the handling of the socket event window in a

   959 	separate thread.  It also turned out that Win95 & Win98 were, in

   960 	some cases, getting multiple FD_ACCEPTs but only handling one.

   961 	Added a count for the FD_ACCEPT to take care of this.  Tested on

   962 	NT4 SP3, NT4 SP4, Win95, and Win98.

   963 	[Bug: 2178 2256 2259 2329 2323 2355]

   964 

   965 1999-07-21    <jpeek@scriptics.com>

   966 

   967 	* README: Small tweaks to clean up typos and wording.

   968 

   969 1999-07-20  Melissa Hirschl  <hershey@matisse.scriptics.com>

   970 

   971 	* generic/tclInitScript.h: 

   972 	* unix/tclUnixInit.c: merged code with 8.0.5.  We now use an

   973 	intermediate global tcl var "tclDefaultLibrary" to keep the

   974 	"tcl_library" var from being set by the default value in the

   975 	Makefile.  Also fixed a bug in which caused the value of

   976 	TCL_LIBRARY env var to be ignored.

   977 	* unix/tclWinInit.c: just updated some comments.

   978 

   979 1999-07-19  Melissa Hirschl  <hershey@matisse.scriptics.com>

   980 

   981 	* library/http2.1/http.tcl: updated -useragent text to say version

   982 	2.1.

   985 

   986 	* generic/tcl.decls:

   987 	* generic/tclDecls.h:

   988 	* generic/tclStubInit.c:  Add Tcl_SetNotifier to stub table.

   989 	[Bug: 2364]

   990 	

   991 	* unix/aclocal.m4:

   992 	* unix/tcl.m4:  Add check for Alpha/Linux to correct the IEEE

   993 	floating flag to the compiler, should be -mieee.  Patch from Don

   994 	Porter.

   995 	

   996 	* tools/tcl.hpj.in: Change version number of .cnt file referenced

   997 	in .HPJ file.

   998 

   999 1999-07-15    <redman@scriptics.com>

  1000 	

  1001 	* tools/tcl.wse.in: Fixed naming of target files for Windows.

  1002 

  1003 1999-07-14    <jpeek@scriptics.com>

  1004

  1006 

  1007 1999-07-12    <jpeek@scriptics.com>

  1008 

  1009 	* doc/re_syntax.n: Removed two notes to myself (oops), cleaned

  1010 	up wording, fixed changebars, made two examples easier to read.

  1011 

  1012 1999-07-11    <redman@scriptics.com>

  1013 

  1014 	* win/makefile.vc: Since the makefile.vc should continue to work

  1015 	while we're working out bugs/issues in the new TEA-style

  1016 	autoconf/configure/gmake build mechanism for Windows, the version

  1017 	numbers of the Tcl libraries need to remain in sync.  Modified the

  1018 	version numbers in the makefile to reflect the change to 8.2b1.

  1019 

  1020 1999-07-09    <redman@scriptics.com>

  1021 

  1022 	* win/configure.in: Eval DLLSUFFIX, LIBSUFFIX, and EXESUFFIX in

  1023 	the configure script so that substitutions get expanded before

  1024 	being placed in the Makefile.  The "d" portion for debug libraries

  1025 	and DLLs was not being set properly.

  1026 	

  1027 1999-07-08    <stanton@scriptics.com>

  1028 

  1029 	* tests/string.test:

  1034 

  1035 	* doc/tcltest.n:

  1036 	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl: Removed -asidefromdir and

  1037 	-relateddir flags, removed unused ::tcltest::dotests proc, cleaned

  1038 	up implementation of core file checking, and fixed the code that

  1039 	checks for 1-letter flag abbreviations.

  1040 

  1041 1999-07-08    <stanton@scriptics.com>

  1042 

  1043 	* win/Makefile.in: Added tcltest target so runtest works

  1044 	properly.  Added missing names to the clean/distclean targets.

  1045 

  1046 	* tests/reg.test: 

  1047 	* generic/rege_dfa.c: Applied fix supplied by Henry Spencer for

  1048 	bug in DFA state caching under lookahead conditions.  [Bug: 2318]

  1055 1999-07-06    <redman@scriptics.com>

  1056 

  1057 	* win/tclWinSerial.c:  New implementation of serial port driver

  1058 	from Rolf Shroedter (Rolf.Schroedter@dlr.de) that allows more than

  1059 	one byte to be read from the port.  Implemented using polling

  1060 	instead of threads, there is a max. 10ms latency between checking the

  1061 	port for file events.  [Bug: 1980 2217]

  1062 

  1063 1999-07-06    <welch@scriptics.com>

  1064 

  1065 	* library/http2.0/http.tcl: Fixed the -timeout option so it

  1066 	handles timeouts that occur during connection attempts to

  1067 	hosts that are down (the only case that really matters!)

  1068 

  1069 1999-07-03    <welch@scriptics.com>

  1070 

  1071 	* doc/ChnlStack.3:

  1072 	* generic/tcl.decls:

  1073 	* generic/tclIO.c: Added a new variant of the "Trf patch"

  1074 	from Andreas Kupres that adds new C APIs Tcl_StackChannel,

  1075 	Tcl_UnstackChannel, and Tcl_GetStackedChannel.

  1076 

  1077 1999-07-03    <welch@scriptics.com>

  1082 	* unix/tclXtNotify.c:

  1083 	* win/tclWinNotify.c:

  1084 	* mac/tclMacNotify.c: Added Tcl_SetNotifier and the associated

  1085 	hook points in the notifiers to be able to replace the notifier

  1086 	calls at runtime  The Xt notifier and test program use this hook.

  1087 

  1088 1999-07-03    <welch@scriptics.com>

  1089 

  1090 	* generic/tclParse.c: Changed parsing of variable names to

  1091 	allow empty array names.  Now "$(foo)" is a variable reference!

  1092 	Previous you had to use something like $::(foo), which is slower.

  1093 	This change is requested by Jean-Luc Fontaine for his STOOOP

  1094 	package.

  1095 

  1096 1999-07-01    <redman@scriptics.com>

  1097 

  1098 	* generic/tclCmdAH.c:

  1099 	* generic/tclFCmd.c: Call TclStat instead of TclpStat in order to

  1100 	allow Tcl_Stat hooks to work properly.

  1105 	* library/tcltest1.0/tcltest.tcl:

  1106 	* doc/tcltest.n:

  1107 	* tests/all.tcl: Added -preservecore, -limitconstraints, -help,

  1108 	-file, -notfile, -relateddir and -asidefromdir flags to the

  1109 	tcltest package along with exported proc

  1110 	::tcltest::getMatchingFiles.  The documentation was modified to

  1111 	match and all.tcl was modified to use the new functionality

  1112 	instead of implementing -file itself.

  1117 	* doc/GetIndex.3:

  1118 	* tests/binary.test:

  1119 	* tests/winDde.test: Applied patch from Peter Hardie (with

  1120 	changes) to fix problem with Tcl_GetIndexFromObj() when the key

  1121 	being passed is the empty string.  It used to match "" and return

  1122 	TCL_OK, but it should have returned TCL_ERROR instead.  Added test

  1123 	case to "binary" and "dde" commands to check the behavior.  Added

  1124 	documentation note as well.

  1125 

  1126 1999-06-26    <redman@scriptics.com>

  1127
