349: - due to a very strange bug I've only seen on Solaris, ptmalloc3 is removed.
350: Solaris libresolv randomly uses ptmalloc3 and system allocator and makes heap
351: corruption. As internal memory management have been improved, a best fit
352: allocator like ptmalloc3 is not required anymore;
1.50 bertrand 353: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.1;
354: - deadlock is fixed in signal handlers: same mutex was used in standard
355: subroutines (without protected sections by sigprocmask() or pthread_sigmask())

358: that has to be evaluated by ->NUM;
1.49 bertrand 359: - rplfile build process is modify to be sure that rplfile is not modified
360: after rpl build stage (to be sure that rplfile checksum is not modified after

367: - bug is fixed in software interrupts. When both process have different PID,
368: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
369: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
370: in parent process;
1.46 bertrand 371: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
372: when child process is protected by NRPROC.

376: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
377: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
378: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
1.50 bertrand 379: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process

403: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
404: computed address of global variable was wrong;
405: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
406: is forced in front of all libraries.

408: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
409: - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
410: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
411: caught;
412: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
413: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
414: with a segmentation error;
415: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
416: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
417: signals;
418: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty

444: process;
445: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
446: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that

451: should);
452: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is
453: caught);
454: - major bug is fixed in STOP intrinsic. STOP was unable to stop any process
455: created by SPAWN;

527: on a non recoverable system error;
528: - openssl and sqlite3 libraries are added;
529: - RPL_HOME env variable is added. When RPL/2 is called from librpl, this
530: variable indicates RPL/2 root directory. If it is not set, root path
531: is given by configure script (d_exec_path);
1.11 bertrand 532: * Thu Mar 03 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.11 (RPL/2)

565: * Fri Jan 08 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.8 (RPL/2)
566: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
567: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
568: old pid by new one;
569: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
570: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
571: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with

578: script file contains a multibyte character;
579: - IN intrinsic is added;
580: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
581: returned false ;
582: - major bug is fixed in RETURN intrinsic. It only occurs in compiled
583: programs;
584: - major bug is fixed in NEG intrinsic. NEG did not make a copy of its arguments;
585: - regression is fixed in compilation(). "\\" was analysed as '"' '\' '\"' and

602: - fprintf is replaced by some functions that allow transliterations between
603: locales;
604: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
605: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write
606: CGI scripts with RPL/2 because locale charset is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968;
607: - double free is fixed in liberation() (type SQL, only occurs when locale is
608: set);
609: - LOCALIZATION, UCASE and LCASE are added;

619: - pipe() is overwritten by a macro to avoid a system error. Communication
620: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
621: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
622: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
623: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
624: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
625: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
626: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope
627: this bug shall be the last one;

633: - some bugfixes are added in process management;
634: - all process management is rewritten to avoid usage of defunct process
635: or thread number;
636: - new major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. Sometimes, when retrait_thread()
637: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
638: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
639: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
640: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
641: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
642: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
643: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
644: process was running retrait_thread());
645: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
646: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because
647: all messages written by signal handlers are sent to stderr;

722: SIGFSTP (with a nullified siginfo structure) instead of SIGHUP when control
723: process is killed;
724: - abs() macro is modified to avoid multiple evaluation. Your C compiler has to
725: know typeof() intrinsic function. This function is not standard but exists

791: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
792: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
793: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
794: main process to abort;
795: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
796: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process

1093: - external wrapper (rplplot) is written to force usage of gnuplot provided
1094: by RPL/2 if it is built during build process. If this build does not exist,
1095: it tries to launch regular gnuplot;
1096: - gnuplot is added to source tree to avoid some trouble between preinstalled
1097: gnuplot and release used by RPL/2. This addition to source tree is
1098: required by some incompatibility between gnuplot releases;

1103: not, ./ but RPL/2 can hang with a fatal error if this last location is
1104: not writable;
1105: - major regression is fixed in SYSEVAL intrinsic due to introduction of
1106: error scrutation.

1148: or purge actions. New PARAMETER and VARIABLE intrinsics are modified
1149: versions of PROTECT and UNPROTECT that only deal with global variables
1150: (see RCL/SAVE);
1151: - variable management routines have been rewritten. The new ones are
1152: uncompatible with the old ones. Before these changes, a local variable
1153: was exported to a child subroutine, but cannot be modified into this
1154: child subroutine. Now, a local variable is accessible only in its subroutine;
1155: - SAVE intrinsic is added to manipulate global variables;

1473: (less parenthesis);
1474: - rplpp is modified to workaround a mistake in 'which' function (seems to appear
1475: on Debian distribution, but since cpp is in the default path, RPL/2 works
1476: fine...);
1477: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
1478: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
1479: with a NOTZ function !
1480: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)
1481: - CYCLE is fixed. Now, it is possible to use CYCLE in an expression even
1482: if the main loop is in a program;
1483: - RPL/2 is tested with efence and valgrind;
1484: - configure.in script is modified;
1485: - units.c is modified to be built by gcc-3.3. I only have removed a #if 0/#endif
1486: structure. I don't know why this code was compiled by gcc-3.3... Maybe
1487: another gcc bug...
1488: * Fri Jul 25 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7b (RPL/2)
1489: - EXIT is fixed. Now, it is possible to use EXIT in an expression when the
1490: main loop is in a program;

1534: { "automatic" nb_of_levels }
1535: { "discrete" l1 l2 l3 ... }
1536: { "incremental" start incr }

1546: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
1547: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
1548: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)

1565: - SCLS is added;
1566: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
1567: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
1568: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
1569: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
1570: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
1571: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
1572: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
1573: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
1574: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
1575: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
1576: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
1577: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
1578: external names of the known functions;
1579: - mkrplso.in is modified.
1580: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
1581: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1582: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();

1593: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
1594: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1595: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1596: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1597: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1598: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1599: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1600: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1601: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1602: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1603: same than AXES:
1604: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1605: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1606: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1607: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1608: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1609: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1610: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1611: screen on second scale;
1612: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
1613: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
1614: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
1615: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
1616: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
1617: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
1618: incrementation);
1619: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
1620: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
1621: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
1622: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
1623: the first stack level;
1624: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1625: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
1626: option;
1627: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
1628: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
1629: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
1630: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
1631: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
1632: in 0);
1633: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
1634: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
1635: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
1636: sequencer;
1637: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
1638: of a loop are not integer or real.
1639: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)

1647: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
1648: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
1649: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
1650: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown

1668: - vim syntax file is improved;
1669: - DRAW (wireframe section) is fixed. When an error occurs in the evaluation
1670: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
1671: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
1672: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
1673: - RETURN intrinsic is modified to fix a trouble in interactive mode;
1674: - rplconvert is improved.

1785: sparc v8 and sparc v9. Compilation of RPL/2 on my Sun Sparc 2 (sun4c,
1786: CPU 4/75, 64 MB, 40 MHz with FPU) is a very great mission :
