381: and all multithread/multitask capabilities have been disabled until this
382: new subsystem shall be validated.
383: * Thu May 09 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.23 (RPL/2)
384: - major bug is fixed in STD format (1E7 sq prints 1);
385: - major bug is fixed in READ intrinsic (socket). This bug was introduced
386: by a new feature in glibc.
387: * Thu Apr 14 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.22 (RPL/2)
388: - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
389: "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
390: - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
391: to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
392: to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
393: - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
394: subroutines;
395: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
396: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
397: - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
398: when X was a vector or a table.
399: * Sun Apr 04 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.21 (RPL/2)

422: segmentation fault;
423: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.4;
424: - OpenSSL is upgraded to 1.0.0c;
425: - syntax error is correctly checked ( (2+,0) does not crash RPL/2 anymore);

428: * Thu Sep 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.19 (RPL/2)
429: - due to a very strange bug I've only seen on Solaris, ptmalloc3 is removed.
430: Solaris libresolv randomly uses ptmalloc3 and system allocator and makes heap
431: corruption. As internal memory management have been improved, a best fit
432: allocator like ptmalloc3 is not required anymore;
433: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.1;
434: - deadlock is fixed in signal handlers: same mutex was used in standard
435: subroutines (without protected sections by sigprocmask() or pthread_sigmask())
436: and signal handlers. A new signal handler specific mutex is added;
437: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. In { X 0 PI }, PI is a function
438: that has to be evaluated by ->NUM;
439: - rplfile build process is modify to be sure that rplfile is not modified
440: after rpl build stage (to be sure that rplfile checksum is not modified after
441: rpl compilation);

445: ABORT now works on eComStation;
446: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.2;
447: - bug is fixed in software interrupts. When both process have different PID,
448: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
449: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
450: in parent process;
451: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
452: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
453: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
454: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
455: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
456: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
457: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
458: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
459: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
460: (Unix PID);
461: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
462: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;
463: - SWI now sends SIGCONT to interrupted process to start interrupt without delay;

475: postgresql libraries are statically linked in rpl executable;
476: - units Makefile is modified to avoid readline and ncurses usages;
477: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.0.1;
478: - units is upgraded to 1.88;
479: - another major bug is fixed in the same variable creation subroutine.
480: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
481: a name of RPL/2 routine;
482: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
483: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
484: computed address of global variable was wrong;
485: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
486: is forced in front of all libraries.
487: * Tue Jul 13 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.17 (RPL/2)
488: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
489: - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
490: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
491: caught;
492: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
493: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
494: with a segmentation error;
495: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
496: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
497: signals;
498: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
499: matrix.
500: * Thu Jun 24 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.16 (RPL/2)

518: format in FCH (file descriptor) and SCK (socket descriptor);
519: - debug routines are improved;
520: - PROCID is added;
521: - MEMLOCK and MEMUNLOCK are added. MEMLOCK forces a process to remain in memory
522: and to not use swap;
523: - major bug is fixed in sql support. SQL connections were closed in all chield
524: process;
525: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
526: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that
527: are first fit class allocators. Solaris libmtmalloc works better and is
528: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3
529: performance;
530: - major bug is fixed in ROW+ intrinsic (new row was not added where it
531: should);
532: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is
533: caught);
534: - major bug is fixed in STOP intrinsic. STOP was unable to stop any process
535: created by SPAWN;
536: - SIGFABORT is added. When process receives SIGFSTOP, it tries to execute
537: ATEXIT. If it receives SIGFABORT, it does not;
538: - ONEXIT is renamed in ATEXIT;

545: information about shared variable was not copied to new processus structure;
546: - some little memory leaks are fixed in evaluation(), recherche_type() and
547: sequenceur(). They only occured when syntax error were caught;
548: - IMPLICIT causes execution error instead system error;
549: - Hurd support is improved but currently broken because Hurd does not support
550: SIG_INFO. Work in progress;
551: - OpenBSD specific support is removed from sources;
552: - support for Mac OS X and Windows/Cygwin is added.
553: * Wed Apr 07 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.13 (RPL/2)

592: * Tue Mar 09 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.12 (RPL/2)
593: - in formatted file, string format returned a variable length string even if
594: format was 'CHARACTER*(n)' (n characters string). Now, 'CHARACTER*(*)' returns
595: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
596: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are
597: supported;
598: - direct access files support is added. Currenlty, these files can only be used
599: in formatted mode;
600: - virtual variables are now writte in UTF-8 and all special characters
601: in string are escaped;
602: - all formatted files are now converted into UTF-8;
603: - all file and unix socket names created by RPL/2 are now UTF-8 compliant;
604: - RPL/2 tools (rpliconv, rplfile, rplpp and rplconvert) are now checked before
605: each execution (md5 and sha1 sums) to enhance security. If one of these tools
606: have been modified between RPL/2 compilation and current execution, RPL/2 aborts
607: on a non recoverable system error;
608: - openssl and sqlite3 libraries are added;
609: - RPL_HOME env variable is added. When RPL/2 is called from librpl, this
610: variable indicates RPL/2 root directory. If it is not set, root path
611: is given by configure script (d_exec_path);
612: * Thu Mar 03 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.11 (RPL/2)

645: * Fri Jan 08 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.8 (RPL/2)
646: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
647: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
648: old pid by new one;
649: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
650: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
651: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with
652: -p option :
653: TEST << iferr TEST2 then end >>
654: TEST2 << 0 inv >>
655: - major bug is fixed in variable management. Some local variables were
656: seen as global ones;
657: - major bug is fixed in rplcore. Rplcore entered in dead lock when
658: script file contains a multibyte character;
659: - IN intrinsic is added;
660: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
661: returned false ;

669: - major bug is fixed in -A command line option (NULL character is missing);
670: - minor bug is fixed in rpliconv and RECODE intrinsic. All transliterations are
671: made by blocks (1024 bytes). When an incomplete multibyte sequence is
672: encountered at end of block, subroutine aborts with an execution error;
673: - major bug is fixed in OPEN (TCP/IPv4 sockets).
674: * Mon Nov 30 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.7 (RPL/2)
675: - DISP now locks stdout;
676: - rpliconv is added to replace standard iconv provided by operating system.
677: Indeed, conversion between different encodages requires transliteration
678: that is not offered by some iconv utility;
679: - CURRENC and RECODE intrinsics have been written to allow strings conversions;
680: - bug is fixed in SYSEVAL. When execvp() returns (for example when arg[0] can
681: not be found), SYSEVAL enters in a dead lock;
682: - fprintf is replaced by some functions that allow transliterations between
683: locales;
684: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
685: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write
686: CGI scripts with RPL/2 because locale charset is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968;
687: - double free is fixed in liberation() (type SQL, only occurs when locale is
688: set);
689: - LOCALIZATION, UCASE and LCASE are added;

691: execution error in compiled scripts (only in DO/UNTIL and REPEAT/WHILE loops);
692: - major bug is fixed in wrapper_instruction_intrinseque(). When intrinsic() was
693: used in onLoading from shared library, USE was pushed on stack as algebraic
694: expression;
695: - libiconv is upgraded to 1.13.1;
696: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.2.6;
697: - gsl is upgraded to 1.13.
698: * Mon Sep 28 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.6 (RPL/2)
699: - pipe() is overwritten by a macro to avoid a system error. Communication
700: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
701: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
702: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
703: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
704: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
705: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
706: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope
707: this bug shall be the last one;
708: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic (determinant was computed without LU
709: diagonalization);

715: or thread number;
716: - new major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. Sometimes, when retrait_thread()
717: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
718: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
719: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
720: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
721: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
722: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
723: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
724: process was running retrait_thread());
725: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
726: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because
727: all messages written by signal handlers are sent to stderr;

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

1147: - --enable-debug is modified. Now, return can be defined to print
1148: on stdout its position in source code (line and function);
1149: - minor bug is fixed in recherche_type(). Don't forget that space
1150: are not significant in algebraic expression:
1151: '12 3+ 12 X' is the same expression than '123+12X';
1152: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid double compilation process;
1153: - --enable-final-run-path is added to configure.in script;

1172: - HELP function is rewritten to be more friendly (a la OpenVMS);
1173: - external wrapper (rplplot) is written to force usage of gnuplot provided
1174: by RPL/2 if it is built during build process. If this build does not exist,
1175: it tries to launch regular gnuplot;
1176: - gnuplot is added to source tree to avoid some trouble between preinstalled
1177: gnuplot and release used by RPL/2. This addition to source tree is

1184: not writable;
1185: - major regression is fixed in SYSEVAL intrinsic due to introduction of
1186: error scrutation.

1231: - variable management routines have been rewritten. The new ones are
1232: uncompatible with the old ones. Before these changes, a local variable
1233: was exported to a child subroutine, but cannot be modified into this
1234: child subroutine. Now, a local variable is accessible only in its subroutine;
1235: - SAVE intrinsic is added to manipulate global variables;

1553: (less parenthesis);
1554: - rplpp is modified to workaround a mistake in 'which' function (seems to appear
1555: on Debian distribution, but since cpp is in the default path, RPL/2 works
1556: fine...);
1557: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
1558: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
1559: with a NOTZ function !
1560: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)
1561: - CYCLE is fixed. Now, it is possible to use CYCLE in an expression even
1562: if the main loop is in a program;
1563: - RPL/2 is tested with efence and valgrind;
1564: - configure.in script is modified;
1565: - units.c is modified to be built by gcc-3.3. I only have removed a #if 0/#endif
1566: structure. I don't know why this code was compiled by gcc-3.3... Maybe

1626: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
1627: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
1628: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)

1645: - SCLS is added;
1646: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
1647: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
1648: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
1649: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
1650: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
1651: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
1652: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
1653: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
1654: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
1655: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
1656: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
1657: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
1658: external names of the known functions;
1659: - mkrplso.in is modified.
1660: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
1661: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1662: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();
1663: - some minor memory leaks are fixed in recherche_type() function. They only

1672: * Sun Apr 13 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6g (RPL/2)
1673: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
1674: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1675: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1676: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1677: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1678: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1679: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1680: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1681: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1682: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1683: same than AXES:
1684: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1685: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1686: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1687: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1688: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1689: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1690: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1691: screen on second scale;
1692: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
1693: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
1694: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
1695: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
1696: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
1697: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
1698: incrementation);
1699: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
1700: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
1701: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
1702: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
1703: the first stack level;
1704: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1705: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
1706: option;
1707: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
1708: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
1709: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
1710: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
1711: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
1712: in 0);
1713: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
1714: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
1715: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
1716: sequencer;
1717: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
1718: of a loop are not integer or real.
1719: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)
1720: - the compilation stage aborts with an error message when two definitions

1727: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
1728: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
1729: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
1730: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown

1732: - recherche_type() is rewritten to be faster;
1733: - gsl is upgraded (release 1.3);
1734: - ncurses is upgraded and patched (release 5.3);
1735: - recherche_instruction_suivante() is fixed (string research with included
1736: '"') and rewritten to be faster;

1748: - vim syntax file is improved;
1749: - DRAW (wireframe section) is fixed. When an error occurs in the evaluation
1750: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
1751: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
1752: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
1753: - RETURN intrinsic is modified to fix a trouble in interactive mode;
1754: - rplconvert is improved.

1861: * Thu Jan 10 2002 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre3g (RPL/2)
1862: - Makefile is improved to support sparc v7 (sun4c), sparc v8 (sun4m) and
1863: sparc v9 (sun4u). Now, RPL/2 can be built on i386 (i486 is known as i386),
1864: i586, i686, K6, K7, alpha ev4, alpha ev5, alpha ev56, alpha ev6, sparc v7,
1865: sparc v8 and sparc v9. Compilation of RPL/2 on my Sun Sparc 2 (sun4c,
1866: CPU 4/75, 64 MB, 40 MHz with FPU) is a very great mission :
1867:
1868: Newton:[~/rpl/rpl] > time make install
