A NOTE ON THE CHANGELOG:
Starting in early 2011, Tcl source code has been under the management of
fossil, hosted at https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/ . Fossil presents a "Timeline"
view of changes made that is superior in every way to a hand edited log file.
Because of this, many Tcl developers are now out of the habit of maintaining
this log file. You may still find useful things in it, but the Timeline is
a better first place to look now.
============================================================================
2013-09-19 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
*** 8.6.1 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
* generic/tcl.h: Bump version number to 8.6.1.
* library/init.tcl:
* unix/configure.in:
* win/configure.in:
* unix/tcl.spec:
* README:
* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
* win/configure:
2013-09-19 Donal Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/next.n (METHOD SEARCH ORDER): Bug [3606943]: Corrected
description of method search order.
2013-09-18 Donal Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
Bump TclOO version to 1.0.1 for release.
2013-09-17 Donal Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBinary.c (BinaryEncodeUu, BinaryDecodeUu): [Bug 2152292]:
Corrected implementation of the core of uuencode handling so that the
line length processing is correctly applied.
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
Existing code that was using the old versions and working around the
limitations will now need to do far less. The -maxlen option now has
strict limits on the range of supported lengths; this is a limitation
of the format itself.
2013-09-09 Donal Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOOMethod.c (CloneProcedureMethod): [Bug 3609693]: Strip
the internal representation of method bodies during cloning in order
to ensure that any bound references to instance variables are removed.
2013-09-01 Donal Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBinary.c (BinaryDecodeHex): [Bug b98fa55285]: Ensure that
whitespace at the end of a string don't cause the decoder to drop the
last decoded byte.
2013-08-03 Donal Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* library/auto.tcl: [Patch 3611643]: Allow TclOO classes to be found
by the autoloading mechanism.
2013-08-02 Donal Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOODefineCmds.c (ClassSuperSet): Bug [9d61624b3d]: Stop
crashes when emptying the superclass slot, even when doing elaborate
things with metaclasses.
2013-08-01 Harald Oehlmann <oehhar@users.sf.net>
* tclUnixNotify.c (Tcl_InitNotifier): Bug [a0bc856dcd]: Start notifier
thread again if we were forked, to solve Rivet bug 55153.
2013-07-05 Kevin B. Kenny <kennykb@acm.org>
* library/tzdata/Africa/Casablanca:
* library/tzdata/America/Asuncion:
* library/tzdata/Antarctica/Macquarie:
* library/tzdata/Asia/Gaza:
* library/tzdata/Asia/Hebron:
* library/tzdata/Asia/Jerusalem:
http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdata2013d.tar.gz
2013-07-03 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/tclXtNotify.c: Bug [817249]: bring tclXtNotify.c up to date with
Tcl_SetNotifier() change.
2013-07-02 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/tcl.m4: Bug [32afa6e256]: dirent64 check is incorrect in tcl.m4
* unix/configure: (thanks to Brian Griffin)
2013-06-27 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclConfig.c: Bug [9b2e636361]: Tcl_CreateInterp() needs
* generic/tclMain.c: initialized encodings.
2013-06-18 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclEvent.c: Bug [3611974]: InitSubsystems multiple thread
issue.
2013-06-17 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/regc_locale.c: Bug [a876646efe]: re_expr character class
[:cntrl:] should contain \u0000 - \u001f
2013-06-09 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c (TclCompileTryCmd): [Bug 779d38b996]:
Rewrote the [try] compiler to generate better code in some cases and
to behave correctly in others; when an error happens during the
processing of an exception-trap clause or a finally clause, the
*original* return options are now captured in a -during option, even
when fully compiled.
2013-06-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_EXPAND_DROP): [Bugs 2835313, 3614226]:
New opcode to allow resetting the stack to get rid of an expansion,
restoring the stack to a known state in the process.
* generic/tclCompile.c, generic/tclCompCmds.c: Adjusted the compilers
for [break] and [continue] to get stack cleanup right in the majority
of cases.
* tests/for.test (for-7.*): Set of tests for these evil cases.
2013-06-04 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/tcl.m4: Eliminate NO_VIZ macro as current zlib uses HAVE_HIDDEN
instead. One more last-moment fix for FreeBSD by Pietro Cerutti
2013-06-03 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclExecute.c: fix for perf bug detected by Kieran
(https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/comp.lang.tcl/vfpI3bc-DkQ),
diagnosed by dgp to be a close relative of [Bug 781585], which was
fixed by commit [f46fb50cb3]. This bug was introduced by myself in
commit [cbfe055d8c].
2013-06-03 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileBreakCmd, TclCompileContinueCmd):
Added code to allow [break] and [continue] to be issued as a jump (in
the most common cases) rather than using the more expensive exception
processing path in the bytecode engine. [Bug 3614226]: Partial fix for
the issues relating to cleaning up the stack when dealing with [break]
and [continue].
2013-05-27 Harald Oehlmann <oehhar@users.sf.net>
* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: [Bug 3036566]: Also get locale from
registry key HCU\Control Panel\Desktop : PreferredUILanguages to honor
installed language packs on Vista+.
Bumped msgcat version to 1.5.2
2013-05-22 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* tclCompile.c: Removed duplicate const qualifier causing the HP
native cc to error out.
2013-05-22 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclUtf.c (TclUtfCasecmp): [Bug 3613609]: Replace problematic
uses of strcasecmp with a proper UTF-8-aware version. Affects both
[lsearch -nocase] and [lsort -nocase].
2013-05-22 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/file.n: [Bug 3613671]: Added note to portability section on the
fact that [file owned] does not produce useful results on Windows.
2013-05-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (DefaultTempDir): [Bug 3613567]: Corrected logic
for checking return code of access() system call, which was inverted.
2013-05-19 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/tcl.m4: Fix for FreeBSD, and remove support for older
* unix/configure: FreeBSD versions. Patch by Pietro Cerutti.
2013-05-18 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmdsGR.c: Split tclCompCmds.c again to keep size of
code down.
2013-05-16 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Add panic in order to detect incompatible
mingw32 sys/stat.h and sys/time.h headers.
2013-05-13 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* compat/zlib/*: Upgrade to zlib 1.2.8
2013-05-10 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
Optimizations and general bytecode generation improvements.
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileAppendCmd, TclCompileLappendCmd):
(TclCompileReturnCmd): Make these generate bytecode in more cases.
(TclCompileListCmd): Make this able to push a literal when it can.
* generic/tclCompile.c (TclSetByteCodeFromAny, PeepholeOptimize):
Added checks to see if we can apply some simple cross-command-boundary
optimizations, and defined a small number of such optimizations.
(TclCompileScript): Added the special ability to compile the list
command with expansion ([list {*}blah]) into bytecode that does not
call an external command.
2013-05-06 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclStubInit.c: Add support for Cygwin64, which has a 64-bit
* generic/tclDecls.h: "long" type. Binary compatibility with win64
requires that all stub entries use 32-bit long's, therefore the need
for various wrapper functions/macros. For Tcl 9 a better solution is
needed, but that cannot be done without introducing binary
incompatibility.
2013-04-30 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* library/platform/platform.tcl (::platform::LibcVersion):
* library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: Followup to the 2013-01-30 change.
The RE become too restrictive again. SuSe added a timestamp after the
version. Loosened up a bit. Bumped package to version 1.0.12.
2013-04-29 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileArraySetCmd): Generate better code
when the list of things to set is a literal.
2013-04-25 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclDecls.h: Implement Tcl_NewBooleanObj, Tcl_DbNewBooleanObj
and Tcl_SetBooleanObj as macros using Tcl_NewIntObj, Tcl_DbNewLongObj
and Tcl_SetIntObj. Starting with Tcl 8.5, this is exactly the same, it
only eliminates code duplication.
* generic/tclInt.h: Eliminate use of NO_WIDE_TYPE everywhere: It's
exactly the same as TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG
2013-04-19 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclDecls.h: Implement many Tcl_*Var* functions and
Tcl_GetIndexFromObj as (faster/stack-saving) macros around resp their
Tcl_*Var*2 equivalent and Tcl_GetIndexFromObjStruct.
2013-04-12 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclDecls.h: Implement Tcl_Pkg* functions as
(faster/stack-saving) macros around Tcl_Pkg*Ex functions.
2013-04-08 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/regc_color.c: [Bug 3610026]: Stop crash when the number of
* generic/regerrs.h: "colors" in a regular expression overflows a
* generic/regex.h: short int. Thanks to Heikki Linnakangas for
* generic/regguts.h: the report and the patch.
* tests/regexp.test:
2013-04-04 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
* library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): Allow URLs that don't have a

2013-02-14 Harald Oehlmann <oehhar@users.sf.net>
* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: [Bug 3604576]: Catch missing registry
entry "HCU\Control Panel\International".
Bumped msgcat version to 1.5.1
2013-02-11 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c (ZlibTransformOutput): [Bug 3603553]: Ensure that
data gets written to the underlying stream by compressing transforms
when the amount of data to be written is one buffer's-worth; problem
was particularly likely to occur when compressing large quantities of
not-very-compressible data. Many thanks to Piera Poggio (vampiera) for
reporting.
2013-02-09 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_VarName): [Bug 3603695]: Change
the way that the 'varname' method is implemented so that there are no
longer problems with interactions due to the resolver. Thanks to
Taylor Venable <tcvena@gmail.com> for identifying the problem.
2013-02-08 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/regc_nfa.c (duptraverse): [Bug 3603557]: Increase the
maximum depth of recursion used when duplicating an automaton in
response to encountering a "wild" RE that hit the previous limit.
Allow the limit (DUPTRAVERSE_MAX_DEPTH) to be set by defining its
value in the Makefile. Problem reported by Jonathan Mills.
2013-02-05 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* win/tclWinFile.c: [Bug 3603434]: Make sure TclpObjNormalizePath()
properly declares "a:/" to be normalized, even when no "A:" drive is
present on the system.
2013-02-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclLoadNone.c (TclpLoadMemory): [Bug 3433012]: Added dummy
version of this function to use in the event that a platform thinks it
can load from memory but cannot actually do so due to it being
disabled at configuration time.
2013-02-04 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileArraySetCmd): [Bug 3603163]: Stop
crash in weird case where [eval] is used to make [array set] get
confused about whether there is a local variable table or not. Thanks
to Poor Yorick for identifying a reproducible crashing case.
2013-01-30 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* library/platform/platform.tcl (::platform::LibcVersion): See
* library/platform/pkgIndex.tcl: [Bug 3599098]: Fixed the RE
* unix/Makefile.in: extracting the version to avoid issues with
* win/Makefile.in: recent changes to the glibc banner. Now targeting a
less variable part of the string. Bumped package to version 1.0.11.
2013-01-28 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileArraySetCmd)
(TclCompileArrayUnsetCmd, TclCompileDictAppendCmd)

* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c (TclCompileStringMatchCmd)
(TclCompileStringMapCmd): Improve the code generation in cases where
full compilation is impossible but a full ensemble invoke is provably
not necessary.
2013-01-26 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/tclUnixCompat.c: [Bug 3601804]: platformCPUID segmentation
fault on Darwin.
2013-01-23 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* library/http/http.tcl (http::geturl): [Bug 2911139]: Do not do vwait
for connect to avoid reentrancy problems (except when operating
without a -command option). Internally, this means that all sockets
created by the http package will always be operated in asynchronous
mode.
2013-01-21 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.decls: Put back Tcl[GS]etStartupScript(Path|FileName)
in private stub table, so extensions using this (like Tk 8.4) will
continue to work in all Tcl 8.x versions. Extensions using this
still cannot be compiled against Tcl 8.6 headers.
2013-01-18 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclPort.h: [Bug 3598300]: unix: tcl.h does not include
sys/stat.h
2013-01-17 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (PushVarName): [Bug 3600328]: Added mechanism
for suppressing compilation of variables when we couldn't cope with
the results. Useful for some [array] subcommands.
* generic/tclEnsemble.c (CompileToCompiledCommand): Must restore the
compilation environment when a command compiler fails.
2013-01-16 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c (TclZlibInit): [Bug 3601086]: Register the config
info in the iso8859-1 encoding as that is guaranteed to be present.
2013-01-16 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* Makefile.in: Allow win32 build with -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED, just as
* generic/tcl.h: in the UNIX build. Define Tcl_EvalObj and
* generic/tclDecls.h: Tcl_GlobalEvalObj as macros, even when
* generic/tclBasic.c: TCL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, so Tk can benefit
from it too.
2013-01-14 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/tcl.m4: More flexible search for win32 tclConfig.sh, backported
from TEA (not actually used in Tcl, only for Tk)
2013-01-14 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.decls: Put back Tcl_[GS]etStartupScript in internal
stub table, so extensions using this, compiled against 8.5 headers
still run in Tcl 8.6.
2013-01-13 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
* doc/fileevent.n: [Bug 3436609]: Clarify readable fileevent "false
positives" in the case of multibyte encodings/transforms.
2013-01-13 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclIntDecls.h: If TCL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, make sure
that TIP #139 functions all are taken from the public stub table, even
if the inclusion is through tclInt.h.
2013-01-12 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.decls: Put back TclBackgroundException in internal
stub table, so extensions using this, compiled against 8.5 headers
still run in Tcl 8.6.
2013-01-09 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* library/http/http.tcl: [Bug 3599395]: http assumes status line is a
proper Tcl list.
2013-01-08 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/tclWinFile.c: [Bug 3092089]: [file normalize] can remove path
components. [Bug 3587096]: win vista/7: "can't find init.tcl" when
called via junction without folder list access.
2013-01-07 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOOStubLib.c: Restrict the stub library to only use
* generic/tclTomMathStubLib.c: Tcl_PkgRequireEx, Tcl_ResetResult and
Tcl_AppendResult, not any other function. This puts least restrictions
on eventual Tcl 9 stubs re-organization, and it works on the widest
range of Tcl versions.
2013-01-06 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* library/http/http.tcl: Don't depend on Spencer-specific regexp
* tests/env.test: syntax (/u and /U) any more in unrelated places.
* tests/exec.test:
Bump http package to 2.8.6.
2013-01-04 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclEnsemble.c (CompileBasicNArgCommand): Added very simple
compiler (which just compiles to a normal invoke of the implementation
command) for many ensemble subcommands where we can prove that there
is no way for scripts to detect the difference even through error
handling or [info level]/[info frame]. This improves the code produced
from some ensembles (e.g., [info], [string]) to the point where the
ensemble is now not normally seen at the bytecode level at all.
2013-01-04 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.h: Insure that PURIFY builds cannot exploit the
* generic/tclExecute.c: Tcl stack to hide mem defects.
2013-01-03 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/fconfigure.n, doc/CrtChannel.3: Updated to reflect the fact that
the minimum buffer size is one byte, not ten. Identified by Schelte
Bron on the Tcler's Chat.
* generic/tclExecute.c (TEBCresume:INST_INVOKE_REPLACE):
* generic/tclEnsemble.c (TclCompileEnsemble): Added new mechanism to
allow for more efficient dispatch of non-bytecode-compiled subcommands
of bytecode-compiled ensembles. This can provide substantial speed
benefits in some cases.
2013-01-02 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclEnsemble.c: Remove stray calls to Tcl_Alloc and friends:
* generic/tclExecute.c: the core should only use ckalloc to allow
* generic/tclIORTrans.c: MEM_DEBUG to work properly.
* generic/tclTomMathInterface.c:
2012-12-31 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/string.n: Noted the obsolescence of the 'bytelength',
'wordstart' and 'wordend' subcommands, and moved them to later in the
file.
2012-12-27 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

objifying a zero-length DString. Spotted by afredd.
2012-12-21 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/dltest/pkgb.c: Inline compat Tcl_GetDefaultEncodingDir.
* generic/tclStubLib.c: Eliminate unnecessary static HasStubSupport()
and isDigit() functions, just do the same inline.
2012-12-18 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmdsSZ.c (TclSubstCompile): Improved the sequence of
instructions issued for [subst] when dealing with simple variable
references.
2012-12-14 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
*** 8.6.0 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
* changes: updates for 8.6.0
2012-12-13 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>

in the new TIP 400 implementation.
2012-12-13 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdAH.c: (CatchObjCmdCallback): do not decrRefCount
* tests/cmdAH.test: the newValuePtr sent to Tcl_ObjSetVar2:
TOSV2 is 'fire and forget', it decrs on its own.
Fix for [Bug 3595576], found by andrewsh.
2012-12-13 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

* tools/tcltk-man2html.tcl (plus-pkgs): Increased robustness of
version number detection code to deal with packages whose names are
prefixes of other packages.
* unix/Makefile.in (dist): Added pkgs/package.list.txt to distribution
builds to ensure that 'make html' will work better.
2012-12-09 Alexandre Ferrieux <ferrieux@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/chan.test: Clean up unwanted eofchar side-effect of chan-4.6
leading to a spurious "'" at end of chan.test under certain conditions
(see [Bug 3389289] and [Bug 3389251]).

when there are unflushed nonblocking channels. Thanks Miguel for
spotting.
2012-12-07 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/dltest/pkgb.c: Turn pkgb.so into a Tcl9 interoperability test
library: Whatever Tcl9 looks like, loading pkgb.so in Tcl 9 should
either result in an error-message, either succeed, but never crash.
2012-11-28 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclZlib.c (ZlibStreamSubcmd): [Bug 3590483]: Use a mechanism
for complex option resolution that has fewer problems with more
finicky compilers.
2012-11-26 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
* unix/tclUnixSock.c: Factor out creation of the -sockname and
-peername lists from TcpGetOptionProc() to TcpHostPortList(). Make it
robust against implementations of getnameinfo() that error out if
reverse mapping fails instead of falling back to the numeric
representation.
2012-11-20 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBinary.c (BinaryDecode64): [Bug 3033307]: Corrected

* unix/tclUnixFCmd.c (TclUnixOpenTemporaryFile): [Bug 2933003]: Factor
out all the code to do temporary file creation so that it is possible
to make it correct in one place. Allow overriding of the back-stop
default temporary file location at compile time by setting the
TCL_TEMPORARY_FILE_DIRECTORY #def to a string containing the directory
name (defaults to "/tmp" as that is the most common default).
2012-11-13 Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>
* win/tclWinInit.c: also search for the library directory (init.tcl,
encodings, etc) relative to the build directory associated with the

callbacks are done at most once to prevent problems with timeouts on a
keep-alive connection (combined with reentrant http package use)
causing excessive stack growth. Not a fix for the underlying problem,
but ensures that pain will be mostly kept away from users.
Bump http package to 2.8.5.
2012-11-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
Added bytecode compilation of many Tcl commands. Some of these are
total compilations and some are only partial (i.e., only compile in
some cases). The (sub-)commands affected are:
* array: exists, set, unset
* dict: create, exists, merge
* format: (simple cases only)
* info: commands, coroutine, level, object
* info object: class, isa object, namespace
* namespace: current, code, qualifiers, tail, which
* regsub: (only cases convertable to simple [string map])
* self: (only no-argument and [self object] cases)
* string: first, last, map, range
* tailcall:
* yield:
[This was work originally done on the 'dkf-compile-misc-info' branch.]

IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#413
Align the [string trim] and [string is space] commands, such that
[string trim] by default trims all characters for which [string is
space] returns 1, augmented with the NUL character.
* generic/tclUtf.c: Add NEL, BOM and two more characters to [string is
space]
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c: Modify [string trim] for Unicode modifications.
* generic/regc_locale.c: Regexp engine must match [string is space]
* doc/string.n
* tests/string.test
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
Code that relied on characters not previously trimmed being not
removed will notice a difference; it is believed that this is rare,
but a workaround to get the behavior in Tcl 8.5 is to use " \t\n\r" as
an explicit trim set.

* win/Makefile.in: Dde version number to 1.4.0, ready for Tcl 8.6.0rc1
* win/makefile.vc
* win/tclWinDde.c
* library/dde/pkgIndex.tcl
* tests/winDde.test
2012-10-24 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileDictUnsetCmd): Added compilation of
the [dict unset] command (for scalar var in LVT only).
2012-10-23 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.h: Add "flags" parameter from Tcl_LoadFile to
* generic/tclIOUtil.c: to various internal functions, so these
* generic/tclLoadNone.c: flags are available through the whole
* unix/tclLoad*.c: filesystem for (future) internal use.
* win/tclWinLoad.c:
2012-10-17 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c (TclNRCoroutineObjCmd): insure that numlevels
are properly set, fix bug discovered by dkf and reported at
http://code.activestate.com/lists/tcl-core/12213/
2012-10-16 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#405
New commands for applying a transformation to the elements of a list
to produce another list (the [lmap] command) and to the mappings of a
dictionary to produce another dictionary (the [dict map] command). In
both cases, a [continue] will cause the skipping of an element/pair,
and a [break] will terminate the construction early and successfully.
* generic/tclCmdAH.c (Tcl_LmapObjCmd, TclNRLmapCmd): Implementation of
the new [lmap] command, based on (and sharing much of) [foreach].
* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictMapNRCmd): Implementation of the new [dict
map] subcommand, based on (and sharing much of) [dict for].
* generic/tclCompCmds.c (TclCompileLmapCmd, TclCompileDictMapCmd):
Compilation engines for [lmap] and [dict map].
IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#400
* generic/tclZlib.c: Allow the specification of a compression
dictionary (a binary blob used to seed the compression engine) in both
streams and channel transformations. Also some reorganization to allow
for getting gzip header dictionaries and controlling buffering levels
in channel transformations (allowing a trade-off between formal
correctness and speed).
(Tcl_ZlibStreamSetCompressionDictionary): New C API to allow setting
the compression dictionary without using a Tcl script.
2012-10-14 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclDictObj.c: [Bug 3576509]: ::tcl::Bgerror crashes with
* generic/tclEvent.c: invalid arguments. Better fix, which helps
for all Tcl_DictObjGet() calls in Tcl's source code.
2012-10-13 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclEvent.c: [Bug 3576509]: tcl::Bgerror crashes with invalid
arguments
2012-10-06 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>

with msys 0.8.
2012-10-03 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tclIO.c: When checking for std channels being closed,
compare the channel state, not the channel itself so that stacked
channels do not cause trouble.
2012-09-26 Reinhard Max <max@suse.de>
* generic/tclIOSock.c (TclCreateSocketAddress): Work around a bug in
getaddrinfo() on OSX that caused name resolution to fail for [socket
-server foo -myaddr localhost 0].
2012-09-20 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* win/configure.in: New import libraries for zlib 1.2.7, usable for
* win/configure: all win32/win64 compilers
* compat/zlib/win32/zdll.lib:
* compat/zlib/win64/zdll.lib:
* win/tclWinDde.c: [FRQ 3527238]: Full unicode support for dde. Dde
version is now 1.4.0b2.
***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
2012-09-19 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tcl.h: Make Tcl_Interp a fully opaque structure if
TCL_NO_DEPRECATED is set (TIP 330 and 336).
* win/nmakehlp.c: Let "nmakehlp -V" start searching digits after the
found match (suggested by Harald Oehlmann).
2012-09-19 Harald Oehlmann <oehhar@users.sf.net>
IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#412.
* library/msgcat/msgcat.tcl: dynamic locale change with mc file

* unix/Makefile.in: implicit message file locale.
* win/Makefile.in: Bump to 1.5.0.
2012-08-25 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
