   * Tue Jan 17 2012 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.1.5 (RPL/2)
   - ncurses, sqlite and openssl have been upgraded;
   - major bug is fixed in ** (integer integer **) when first argument is equal to
   -1;
   - major bug is fixed in signal management. With new signal management, thread or
   process were not signalized anymore by POSIX signals. If a thread or a process
   was sleeping, it was not interrupted;
   - minor bug is fixed in OPEN intrinsic. Now, when a socket is open, its default
   adress is set to 0.0.0.0;
   - new rule is added to main makefile (make debian) to build deb package;
   - new benchmark (Xeon W3520 @ 2.67GHz) :

   schroedinger:[~/cvs/bench] > 
   - recherche_type() did not convert huge integer in real. Now,
   18446744072742037448 is converted into real as value cannot be stored in
   RPL/2 integer type;
   - WFSOCK is modified to handle unconnected sockets;
   - REGEX is added;
   - RESTART is added (execvp() on main RPL/2 process);
   - copie_objet() now returns same MTX (struct_mutex) even if caller wait for
   a real copy. Now, struct_mutex contains locks owner. On Linux or Solaris (for
   example), it is possible to lock mutex from a thread and unlock the same mutex
   from another thread. On NetBSD, system crashes.
   * Mon Nov 21 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.1.4 (RPL/2)

   - major bug is fixed in DRWS (SDAT was not used...);
   - lists, and integer, real and complex numbers can now be written in
   unformatted files;
   - rplawk makefile is fixed to avoid build process bug. Warning, with these
   modifications, sources tree has to be writable.

   * Tue Aug 9 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.1.2 (RPL/2)
   - I have fixed a lot of bugs in gpp preprocessor (and sent gpp 3.0 to official
   gpp developer). Now, macros like
   
       #define foo foo bar
   
   is evaluated without recursion. gpp 2.24 crashed on stack overflow.
   - LIMIT is added;
   - Now, undefined values like 'infinity/infinity' are computed. Result is

   Number of scalar operations per second and per core : 2625369.22710792
   * Mon Jun 20 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.1.0.prerelease.0 (RPL/2)
   - New variable management is written. Please note that -p flag does not work
   and all multithread/multitask capabilities have been disabled until this
   new subsystem shall be validated.
   * Thu May 09 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.23 (RPL/2)
   - major bug is fixed in STD format (1E7 sq prints 1);
   - major bug is fixed in READ intrinsic (socket). This bug was introduced
   by a new feature in glibc.
   * Thu Apr 14 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.22 (RPL/2)
   - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
   "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
   - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
   to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
   to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
   - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
   subroutines;
   - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
   when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
   - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
   when X was a vector or a table.
   * Sun Apr 04 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.21 (RPL/2)
   - Gnuplot is upgraded;
   - flag 34 is now used to enable or disable control character evaluation;
   - major bug is fixed in P->R intrinsic function when argument type is
   complex and degree mode is set;
   - L->T and T->L are added;
   - OLD filetype is fixed;
   - FLOW socket support is added;
   - FLOW sequential files are added;
   - new escape sequence is added to handle flow files (\x + hexadecimal code).
   Known escape sequences are \", \b, \n, \t, \x?? and \\.
   * Sun Mar 06 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.20 (RPL/2)
   - Ncurses is upgraded to 5.8;
   - ALARM is fixed by filling isdst field;
   - catch ECONNRESET in write intrinsic to return an execution error instead of
   system one;
   - fix a typo in HELP intrinsic;
   - Openssl is upgraded to 1.0.0d, sqlite to 3.7.5 and readline to 6.2;
   - Lapack is upgraded to 3.3.0;
   - libmtmalloc is now default Solaris allocator;
   - ncurses is upgraded;
   - regression introduced by 4.0.19 is fixed in signal management.
   Interruption1() could be called from itself and raises bus error (on sparc) or
   segmentation fault;
   - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.4;
   - OpenSSL is upgraded to 1.0.0c;
   - syntax error is correctly checked ( (2+,0) does not crash RPL/2 anymore);
   - characters are tested in recherche_type() to avoid names like '12+';
   - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.2 due to major bugs.
   * Thu Sep 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.19 (RPL/2)
   - due to a very strange bug I've only seen on Solaris, ptmalloc3 is removed.
   Solaris libresolv randomly uses ptmalloc3 and system allocator and makes heap
   corruption. As internal memory management have been improved, a best fit
   allocator like ptmalloc3 is not required anymore;
   - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.1;
   - deadlock is fixed in signal handlers: same mutex was used in standard
   subroutines (without protected sections by sigprocmask() or pthread_sigmask())
   and signal handlers. A new signal handler specific mutex is added;
   - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. In { X 0 PI }, PI is a function
   that has to be evaluated by ->NUM;
   - rplfile build process is modify to be sure that rplfile is not modified
   after rpl build stage (to be sure that rplfile checksum is not modified after
   rpl compilation);
   - AWK is replaced by rplawk. rplawk is original awk written by Brian Kernighan,
   modified to remove yacc code and renamed;
   - some workarounds have been written to not use buggy klibc SystemV IPCS.
   ABORT now works on eComStation;
   - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.2;
   - bug is fixed in software interrupts. When both process have different PID,
   parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
   this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
   in parent process;
   - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
   when child process is protected by NRPROC.
   * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
   - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
   functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
   systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
   - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
   structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
   shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
   (Unix PID);
   - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
   - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;
   - SWI now sends SIGCONT to interrupted process to start interrupt without delay;
   - random generator is cloned by SPAWN;
   - in transliteration subroutine : '\r' is added after all '\n' in OS/2 port;
   - getaddrinfo is hardcoded when host system does not provide getaddrinfo
   or freeaddrinfo;
   - RPL/2 can now use SystemV semaphores when POSIX semaphores are unavailable;
   - major bug is fixed in CHR intrinsic when obtained character is not printable;
   - Lapack is upgraded to 3.2.2;
   - OS/2 (eComStation 2.0 with EMX 0.9d) support is added;
   - TOKENIZE is now able to convert escape sequences;
   - ATPOKE and CLRATPOKE new intrinsics are added;
   - --enable-full-static configure flag is added. With this flag, mysql and
   postgresql libraries are statically linked in rpl executable;
   - units Makefile is modified to avoid readline and ncurses usages;
   - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.0.1;
   - units is upgraded to 1.88;
   - another major bug is fixed in the same variable creation subroutine.
   Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
   a name of RPL/2 routine;
   - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
   variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
   computed address of global variable was wrong;
   - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
   is forced in front of all libraries.
   * Tue Jul 13 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.17 (RPL/2)
   - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
   - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
   when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
   caught;
   - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
   in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
   with a segmentation error;
   - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
   - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
   signals;
   - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
   matrix.
   * Thu Jun 24 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.16 (RPL/2)
   - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. With this patch, same program
   returns same result with or without -p flag;
   - ncurses 5.7 is upgraded to 20100619;
   - openssl is upgraded to 1.0.0a;
 - interrupt stacks are now FIFO instead of LIFO;  - interrupt stacks are now FIFO instead of LIFO;
 - debug memory allocation subroutines are improved to run in multithreaded  - debug memory allocation subroutines are improved to run in multithreaded
