2008-12-31 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* unix/Makefile.in: Set TCLLIBPATH in SHELL_ENV so that targets
like `make shell` have access to builds of bundled packages.
2008-12-28 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclZlib.c (Tcl_ZlibStreamPut): Plug a memory leak.
2008-12-27 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclZlib.c (ZlibStreamCmd): Fix compilation consistency. [Bug
* generic/tcl.decls: 2470237]
* generic/tclZlib.c (Tcl_ZlibStreamGet): Corrected the semantics of
this function to be useful to the PNG implementation. If the argument
object is empty, this gives the previous semantics.
(Tcl_ZlibStreamChecksum): Corrected name to be less misleading; it
only produced Adler-32 checksums when the stream was processing the
right type of compressed data format.
(Tcl_ZlibAdler32, Tcl_ZlibCRC32): Corrected types so that they work
naturally with the results of Tcl_GetByteArrayFromObj().
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** for all above changes, but very
unlikely to be difficult for anyone to deal with.
2008-12-26 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tcl.decls: Tidy up the commenting style, adding markers for
each of the big release points under TCT stewardship and noting the
general purpose of each TIP that added C API. Overall effect is to
make this file much more informative to read without having to spend
effort correlating with TIPs and ChangeLogs.
2008-12-23 Jan Nijtmans <[email protected]>
* win/Makefile.in: Fix build of zlib objects with msvc
* win/tcl.m4:
* win/configure: autoconf-2.59
2008-12-23 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* win/Makefile.in: Handle file extensions correctly. [Bug 2459725]
2008-12-22 Pat Thoyts <[email protected]>
*** 8.6b1 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
* win/makefile.vc: Ensure pkgs directories are suitable and quote the
paths. [Bug 2458395]
2008-12-22 Joe Mistachkin <[email protected]>
* tools/man2help2.tcl: Added support for "\(mi" nroff macro. [Bug
2330040]
2008-12-22 Pat Thoyts <[email protected]>
* win/makefile.vc: Support the pkgs tree in the NMAKE builds.
2008-12-21 Daniel Steffen <[email protected]>
* unix/Makefile.in: Fix broken build of bundled packages when path
to build dir contains spaces by switching to
relative paths to toplevel build dir.
* unix/configure.in: Preserve configure environment variables for
sub-configures of bundled packages; reuse
configure cache file for sub-configures.
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
2008-12-21 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/TclZlib.3: Fix minor typo. [Bug 2455165]
2008-12-20 Kevin B. Kenny <[email protected]>
* win/Makefile.in: Renamed the static library libtcl86s.a to
* win/configure.in: have a name distinct from the import library
libtcl86.a. This renaming dodges an ancient
bug in the Makefile revealed by the last
commit where the $(TCL_LIB_FILE) rule can
fire to try to build the static library in a
--enable-shared build (and create a static
library that subsequently fails to link).
Revised the zlib objects so that they are
built directly into the build dir, without
building an intermediate static library.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** for
embedders who link to the static library, but
I couldn't figure out how to sort this out
any other way.
* win/configure: Autoconf 2.59
2008-12-20 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* win/Makefile.in: Minor updates to make building work better with
msys on Windows. (Apparently the gcc used doesn't like a / at the end
of a -I argument...)
2008-12-20 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* changes: Updates for 8.6b1 release.
2008-12-20 Daniel Steffen <[email protected]>
* unix/Makefile.in: Make package install directory of bundled
* unix/configure.in: packages configurable via PACKAGE_DIR makefile
variable (set to platform-specific default).
* unix/Makefile.in (*-packages): Ensure toplevel targets fail if
sub-make/configure fails; fix quoting when
builddir path contains spaces.
* macosx/GNUmakefile: Add install-packages to install targets.
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
2008-12-19 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* doc/NRE.3: Formatting errors found by `make html`
* doc/Tcl_Main.3:
* doc/zlib.n:
* tests/chanio.test: Add missing [removeFile] cleanups.
* tests/io.test: Add missing [close $f] to io-73.2.
* unix/Makefile.in: Update `make dist' target to include the files
from the compat/zlib directory as well as all the bundled packages
found under the pkgs directory, according to their individual `make
dist' targets. Change includes breaking a `configure-packages' target
out of the `packages` target.
* README: Bump version number to 8.6b1
* generic/tcl.h:
* library/init.tcl:
* tools/tcl.wse.in:
* unix/configure.in:
* unix/tcl.spec:
* win/configure.in:
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
* win/configure:
2008-12-19 Jan Nijtmans <[email protected]>
* generic/tclInt.decls: CONSTify TclGetLoadedPackages second param
* generic/tclLoad.c
* generic/tclIntDecls.h (regenerated)
2008-12-19 Kevin Kenny <[email protected]>
* generic/tclExecute.c: Fix compile warnings when --enable-symbols=all
* win/configure.in:
* win/Makefile.in: Added build of packages in the 'pkgs/' directory.
* win/configure: Autoconf 2.59
2008-12-19 Pat Thoyts <[email protected]>
* win/makefile.vc: Added build of compat/zlib
2008-12-18 Andreas Kupries <[email protected]>
* generic/tclIO.c (Tcl_CloseEx, CloseWrite, CloseChannelPart)
(ChanCloseHalf): Rewrite the half-close to properly flush the channel,
like is done for a full close, going through FlushChannel, and using
the flag BG_FLUSH_SCHEDULED (async flush during close). New functions
CloseWrite, CloseChannelPart, new flag CHANNEL_CLOSEDWRITE.
* tests/chanio.test (chanio-28.[67]): Reactivated these tests.
Replaced tclsh -> [interpreter] to get correct executable for the pipe
process, and added after cancel to kill the fail timers when we are
done. Removed the explicits calls to [flush], now that [close] handles
this correctly.
2008-12-18 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* tests/chanio.test: Replaced [chan event] handlers that returned
TCL_RETURN return code, with more conventional ones that return TCL_OK
to suppress otherwise strange writes of outdated $::errorInfo values
to stderr. [Bug 2444274]
* generic/tclExecute.c: Disabled apparently faulty assertion. [Bug
2415422]
2008-12-18 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* unix/configure.in, unix/Makefile.in: Autoconf wizardry.
* compat/zlib/*: Import of zlib 1.2.3. The license is directly
compatible with Tcl's. This import omits the obsolete and contributed
parts (i.e. selected directories) and the supplied examples.

* generic/tclOO.h (TCLOO_VERSION): Bump version of TclOO.
2008-10-31 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOONRUpcatch): Reworked the code that does
* generic/tclOO.c (InitFoundation): class constructor handling so
that it is more robust and runs the constructor call in the context of
the caller of the class's constructor method. Needed because the
previously used code did not work at all after applying the fix below;
no Tcl existing command could reliably do what was needed any more.
* generic/tclOODefineCmds.c (GetClassInOuterContext): Rework and
factor out the code to resolve class names in definitions so that
classes are resolved from the perspective of the caller of the
[oo::define] command, rather than from the oo::define namespace! This
makes much code simpler by reducing how often fully-qualified names
are required (previously always in practice, so no back-compat issues
exist). [Bug 2200824]

* generic/tclEncoding.c: Use "iso8859-1" and not "identity" as
the default and original [encoding system] value. Since "iso8859-1" is
built in to the C source code for Tcl now, there's no availability
issue, and it has the good feature of "identity" that we must have
("bytes in" == "bytes out") without the bad feature of "identity"
("broken as designed") that makes us want to abandon it. [RFE 2008609]

* doc/chan.n, doc/fconfigure.n: Added even more emphatic text to
direct people to the correct manual pages for specific channel types,

* win/tclWinThrd.c (TclpThreadCreate): We need to initialize the
thread id variable to 0 as on 64 bit windows this is a pointer sized
field while windows only fills it with a 32 bit value. The result is
an inability to join the threads as the ids cannot be matched.
* generic/tclTest.c (TestNRELevels): Set array to the right size.

* generic/tclOOInfo.c (InfoClassDestrCmd): Handle error case.
* generic/tclOOInt.h: Added macro magic to make things work with
Objective C. [Bug 2163447]
2008-10-12 Miguel Sofer <[email protected]>
* generic/tclCompile.c: Fix bug in srcDelta encoding within ByteCodes.
The bug can only be triggered under conditions that cannot happen in
Tcl, but were met during development of L. Thanks go to Robert Netzer
for diagnosis and fix.

2008-10-08 Don Porter <[email protected]>
* generic/tclTrace.c: Corrected handling of errors returned by
variable traces so that the errorInfo value contains the original
error message. [Bug 2151707]

that error message construction does not disturb an existing
iPtr->errorInfo that may be in progress.
2008-10-07 Donal K. Fellows <[email protected]>
* doc/binary.n: Added better documentation of the [binary encode] and
[binary decode] subcommands.
