* Changes to Extended Tcl *
===============================================================================
13 Nov 91: Extended Tcl 6.1a released
===============================================================================
20 Nov 91:
o Fixed use of invalid variable when reporting an error in
test/unixcmds.test.
o Changed temporary files names so they are 14 characters or less in
test/chmod.test.
o Changed TCL_MAN_SECTION for SCO Unix to be "TCL" instead of "tcl".
o Modified src/main.c to be independent of the internal Tcl include files.
o Changed ar to not use the 'u' option in makes.
o For ucbsrc, delete the objects explicitly from libtcl.a, since sometimes
the modified version tclBasic.o was not replacing the standard version.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
29 Nov 91:
o Added configuration section for older versions of SunOS.
o Added an strtoul replacement for HP/UX, since their version accepts
negative numbers.
o Converted the global tclxPatchlevel from a string to an int.
o Modified test for chmod +t, since this will actually change the file mode
if run as root. Changed chown tests to compare file group id against the
effective group id, in case tests are run with the effective group id
changed.
o Fixed bad error message from id command when user or group name does not
exist.
o Made tclSignalReceived a external flag that can be checked by C code to
determine if signal a signal is pending.
o Corrected the spelling of the variable 'signalReceived' that is set when
trap code is by a signal (signal command). (*POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*)
o Changed code in src/createExtd.c that is supposed to force math error to
be included so that an optimizer doesn't decide to throw away the external
reference.
o Modified commandloop to reset command buffer when a signal is received,
enabling interrupting the input of multi-line commands.
o Fixed problem with math error tests were pow did not return an error on
some systems.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
29 Nov 91: tests/all, tests/fmath.test, tests/math.test, tests/loop.test,
tests/filescan.test
o Converted to current test support routines: fmath.test, math.test and
loop.test.
o Removed tests/testutil.test, as its no longer needed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30 Nov 91:
o Made detection of _tolower and _toupper automatic, instead of a
configuration option.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Dec 91:
o Updated showproc.tcl with Lance Ellinghouse's improved version that dumps
default argument info.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 Dec 91:
o Fixed bug with doing a keylget on an empty string.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 Jan 92:
o Fixed BinSearch so it doesn't overwrite the error returned by
TclGetOpenFile with another error message.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 Jan 92:
o Fixed link and unlink commands to do tilde substitution.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9 Jan 92:
o Fixed problem with Boyer-Moore optimization causing scanfile to fail
matches when the regular expression contains ORs (|).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 Jan 92:
o Convert execvp to execl to support passing arguments as a list, rather than
a series of parameters. Added a execvp to the Tcl procedure library to
provide backwards compatibility.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11 Jan 92: man/TclX.man
o Changes to make some manual sections more readable.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13 Feb 92:
o Added `procs' option to cmdtrace that traces procedure calls only.
o Added `-nocomplain' flag to unlink command.
o Changed package index structure so the file name is not included in the
index file.
o Added support for optional #@packend, to mark end of packages.
o Merged in changes to support A/UX 2.01 (supplied by Parag Patel)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15 Feb 92:
o Modified keylget to return a list of keyes in a keyed list if no field
name is spefieied. Added Tcl_GetKeyedListKeys to support this operation.
o Added keyed list sub field support (i.e. FOO.BAZ).
o Added type attribute to the values returned by the fstat command to give
it the same functionality as the Tcl6.2 file command.
o Update help files based on the ucb manual pages and added help for
standard built-in variables.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16 Feb 92:
o Modified install script to unlink manual pages before it links to new ones.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23 Feb 92:
o Moved the external declaration of variables set by the startup code
to tclExtended.h.
o Made startup more modular to support applications like Tk. Made setting
of globals variables for infox in the main optional. If not set, start up
sets them to a default. (All backwards compatible).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Mar 92:
o Added -sym option to link command to support symbolic links.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 Mar 92:
o Modified keylset to take multiple keyword/value pairs.
o Moved all tcl++.h vararg routines into tcl++.C, since inlined varargs
don't work right with some compilers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 Mar 92:
o Added catopen, catgets and catclose commands.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11 Mar 92:
o Combined TclShell.man and tcl.tlib.man with TclX.man to put all
documentation for Tcl language programing in one manual page.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13 Mar 92:
o Moved configuration from the toplevel Makefile to Config.mk, which is now
included by all Makefiles and parsed by the install script.

o Fixed bug in command loop were certain set commands were valid commands,
but invalid lists.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24 Mar 92:
o Added support for numBytes or nonewline to `read_file' procedure.
o Added lgets command to read lists from a file, included embedded newlines.
===============================================================================
4 Mar 92: Extended Tcl 6.2b released
===============================================================================
7 Apr 92:
o Fixed bug were no error message was returned with the TCLDEFAULT file
could not be found.

time.h might be included in tclExtdInt.h.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15 Apr 92:
o Added TCL_TIMEZONE_VAR option for systems that don't return the timezone
offset in `struct tm'.
o Deleted test from tests/clock.test that returned a different result in
a different timezone.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
27 Apr 92:
o Fixed bug in fstat that caused the keyed list get of all status data
to return invalid data.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 May 92:

be modified in the .~/tclrc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 May 92:

error message when adding a field to an empty list.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 Jun 92:

expresssions.
o Improved documentation of Tcl_ShellEnvInit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14 Jun 92:

instead of being of type Tcl_CmdProc, since this broke a DEC compiler.
o Fixed loop command so that the control variable is left at its
terminating value, not the previous value.
o Fixed Tcl_Startup so if used the defaultFile passed in, rather than
assuming the compiled default value.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
28 Jun 92:
o Fixed bug where a SIGINTR will sometimes cause the command loop to panic.
o To speed up package library index loading, changed the .tndx file to only
contain data, not commands to be sourced. Added Tcl procedure to convert

command changes. Octal numbers must be prefixed with a "0".
*** Potential compatibility problem ***
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9 Aug 92:
o Changed build of ucbsrc and tkSupport so that the modified files are
built from the original files using sed.
o Imporved autoloading, including not searching path if file name contains
directories. Demand_load searchs "auto_path" if it can't find the proc
anywhere else, this should help Tk programs that dynamicly add directories
to the variable. This code moved to C to speed it up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12 Aug 92:

changed to NONBLOCK and CLEXEC to CLOEXEC. Fcntl nolonger returns a list
of current values on query, instead individule values may be queried.
This makes it easier to use in the normal case and better allows for
future expansion. (*POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 Sept 92:
o Changed the signal command to return a keyed list for signal state query.

with = in the same command did not work.
o Changed help and buildhelp.tcl so that multiple brief files are allowed
(extension .brf).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7 Oct 92:

before they are handle and if trap code is associated with that signal,
then the trap code will be run once for every signal received.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8 Oct 92:
o Recoded assign_fields to use upvar.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11 Oct 92:

Change provided by Marco Nijdam <marco@west.nl>.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25 Jun 95:
o Changes for Tcl 7.4b4 and Tk 4.0b4.

doesn't exist and "dirs" to return rather than echo the stack. Changes
based on code submitted by Dave Mielke <davem@bnr.ca>.
o Added support in the dup command to bind an open file number to a Tcl file
handle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30 Jun 95:
o Changed auto_load to not reload all library indexes when new directories

o Added server_cntl command.
o Added cmdtrace command option. This is a callback that is called on
every traced command executed.
o Added ability to call TclX_Init after Tcl_Init has been called and TkX_Init
after Tk_Init. This gives the option of using the TclX runtime in
conjunction with the standard Tcl/Tk runtime. It is still recommended
to only use the TclX runtime, but this change adds flexibility.
o Renamed the SYSLIBS files to be tclxlibs.mk and tkxlibs.mk. These are
now install in the lib directories, as they are architecturally
dependent.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
