421: * Thu May 09 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.23 (RPL/2)
422: - major bug is fixed in STD format (1E7 sq prints 1);
423: - major bug is fixed in READ intrinsic (socket). This bug was introduced
424: by a new feature in glibc.
425: * Thu Apr 14 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.22 (RPL/2)
426: - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
427: "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
428: - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
429: to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
430: to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
431: - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
432: subroutines;
433: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
434: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
435: - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
436: when X was a vector or a table.
437: * Sun Apr 04 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.21 (RPL/2)

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

486: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
487: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
488: in parent process;
489: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
490: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
491: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
492: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
493: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
494: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
495: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
496: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
497: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
498: (Unix PID);
499: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
500: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;

518: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
519: a name of RPL/2 routine;
520: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
521: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
522: computed address of global variable was wrong;
523: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
524: is forced in front of all libraries.
525: * Tue Jul 13 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.17 (RPL/2)
526: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
527: - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
528: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
529: caught;
530: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
531: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
532: with a segmentation error;
533: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
534: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
535: signals;
536: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
537: matrix.
538: * Thu Jun 24 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.16 (RPL/2)

556: format in FCH (file descriptor) and SCK (socket descriptor);
557: - debug routines are improved;
558: - PROCID is added;
559: - MEMLOCK and MEMUNLOCK are added. MEMLOCK forces a process to remain in memory
560: and to not use swap;
561: - major bug is fixed in sql support. SQL connections were closed in all chield
562: process;
563: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
564: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that
565: are first fit class allocators. Solaris libmtmalloc works better and is
566: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3
567: performance;
568: - major bug is fixed in ROW+ intrinsic (new row was not added where it
569: should);
570: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is
571: caught);
572: - major bug is fixed in STOP intrinsic. STOP was unable to stop any process
573: created by SPAWN;

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

632: format was 'CHARACTER*(n)' (n characters string). Now, 'CHARACTER*(*)' returns
633: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
634: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are
635: supported;
636: - direct access files support is added. Currenlty, these files can only be used
637: in formatted mode;
638: - virtual variables are now writte in UTF-8 and all special characters
639: in string are escaped;
640: - all formatted files are now converted into UTF-8;
641: - all file and unix socket names created by RPL/2 are now UTF-8 compliant;
642: - RPL/2 tools (rpliconv, rplfile, rplpp and rplconvert) are now checked before
643: each execution (md5 and sha1 sums) to enhance security. If one of these tools
644: have been modified between RPL/2 compilation and current execution, RPL/2 aborts
645: on a non recoverable system error;
646: - openssl and sqlite3 libraries are added;
647: - RPL_HOME env variable is added. When RPL/2 is called from librpl, this
648: variable indicates RPL/2 root directory. If it is not set, root path
649: is given by configure script (d_exec_path);
650: * Thu Mar 03 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.11 (RPL/2)

683: * Fri Jan 08 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.8 (RPL/2)
684: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
685: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
686: old pid by new one;
687: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
688: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
689: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with
690: -p option :
691: TEST << iferr TEST2 then end >>
692: TEST2 << 0 inv >>
693: - major bug is fixed in variable management. Some local variables were
694: seen as global ones;
695: - major bug is fixed in rplcore. Rplcore entered in dead lock when
696: script file contains a multibyte character;
697: - IN intrinsic is added;
698: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
699: returned false ;

707: - major bug is fixed in -A command line option (NULL character is missing);
708: - minor bug is fixed in rpliconv and RECODE intrinsic. All transliterations are
709: made by blocks (1024 bytes). When an incomplete multibyte sequence is
710: encountered at end of block, subroutine aborts with an execution error;
711: - major bug is fixed in OPEN (TCP/IPv4 sockets).
712: * Mon Nov 30 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.7 (RPL/2)
713: - DISP now locks stdout;
714: - rpliconv is added to replace standard iconv provided by operating system.
715: Indeed, conversion between different encodages requires transliteration
716: that is not offered by some iconv utility;
717: - CURRENC and RECODE intrinsics have been written to allow strings conversions;
718: - bug is fixed in SYSEVAL. When execvp() returns (for example when arg[0] can
719: not be found), SYSEVAL enters in a dead lock;
720: - fprintf is replaced by some functions that allow transliterations between
721: locales;
722: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
723: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write
724: CGI scripts with RPL/2 because locale charset is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968;
725: - double free is fixed in liberation() (type SQL, only occurs when locale is
726: set);
727: - LOCALIZATION, UCASE and LCASE are added;

731: used in onLoading from shared library, USE was pushed on stack as algebraic
732: expression;
733: - libiconv is upgraded to 1.13.1;
734: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.2.6;
735: - gsl is upgraded to 1.13.

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

752: - all process management is rewritten to avoid usage of defunct process
753: or thread number;
754: - new major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. Sometimes, when retrait_thread()
755: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
756: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
757: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
758: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
759: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
760: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
761: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
762: process was running retrait_thread());
763: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
764: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because
765: all messages written by signal handlers are sent to stderr;
766: - configure.in script is modified to test gcc version and avoid a bug in

785: - SVL and SVD are added;
786: - COND and RANK are added;
787: - DIAG-> and ->DIAG are added;
788: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic. DET is rewritten to avoid usage of
789: eigenvalues. In a first time, matrix rank is estimated to force determinant

791: compute determinant;
792: - QR matrix decomposition is added;
793: - LQ matrix decomposition is added;
794: - Fortran90 files are rewritten to use Fortran2003 bind(C) statement and

797: -Wno-unused-parameter;
798: - all mathematical exceptions are now signaled by exceptions instead of
799: execution error;
800: - minor bug is fixed in both CSTOP and RSTOP intrinsics. Without this fix, you
801: can call twice CSTOP without RSTOP;
802: - named semaphore support is added (CRSMPHR, CLRSMPHR, SMHRDECR, SMPHRINCR,
803: SMPHRTRYDECR, SMPHGETV).
804: * Fri Jul 24 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.4 (RPL/2)
805: - semaphore is added in interruptions.c to avoid segmentation fault when STOP
806: signal is sent to a dying thread. Some mutexes are replaced by semaphores too
807: to be used in signal handlers;
808: - major bug (memory corruption) is fixed in COL- intrinsic;
809: - minor bug is fixed in ALARM and WAIT. These temporisations stopped when a
810: software interrupt was caught;
811: - rplpp man page is added.
812: * Fri Jul 17 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.3 (RPL/2)
813: - minor bug is fixed in WRITE (SIGPIPE is ignored to catch error without
814: process termination);
815: - major bug is fixed in FUSE intrinsic (FUSE kills itself and do not kill
816: its parent);
817: - a mutex to protect fork() syscall is added;
818: - all mutexes are unlocked after fork() in DETACH;

828: - a memory leak is fixed in REMOVE intrinsic;
829: - major bug is fixed in MySQL driver (segfault due to a bug in mysql_init()
830: and due to a libmysqlclient that is not thread safe).

837: - --enable-profile flag is added to configure script. When this flag is
838: enabled, rpl is built with -pg option;
839: - SIGFSTP (from Solaris'TERMIO) is caught. On Solaris 10, all process receive
840: SIGFSTP (with a nullified siginfo structure) instead of SIGHUP when control
841: process is killed;
842: - abs() macro is modified to avoid multiple evaluation. Your C compiler has to
843: know typeof() intrinsic function. This function is not standard but exists
844: under Sun Studio, gcc, and maybe some others compilers. If this function does
845: not exist on your compiler, you can change its definition by old one in
846: src/rpl.h;
847: - fflush() can now be interrupted by signal (SunOS);
848: - fflush(NULL) is called before all fork() occurrences;

867: is send from an external process;
868: - configure.in is modified to avoid a libc bug on Solaris (free() can enter in
869: deadlock when a huge amount of threads is launched);
870: - minor bug is fixed in boath START and FOR intrinsic. Only occurs when
871: arguments types are unsupported;
872: - PLOT instrinsic is added (usage: LINE and MARK do not draw anything. All

887: static variable that is shared by multiple threads;
888: - '->' intrinsic is improved. All object copies have been avoided;
889: - -n flag is added to catch HUP signal. stderr and stdout are redirected
890: to a file, stdin is redirected to /dev/null when control process is killed;
891: - a mutex is added to each object (before this modification,
892: RPL/2 used a global mutex and performances in multithreaded programs were very
893: poor.);

908: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
909: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
910: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
911: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
912: main process to abort;
913: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
914: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
915: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
916: should be added;
917: - -D flag and DAEMONIZE intrinsic have been added;

1055: before starting interrupt evaluation;
1056: - -f parameter is added when iconv is called;
1057: - as old file program was bugged, a new option is added to configure script.
1058: When configure is called with --disable-encoding-autodetection, make does not
1059: try to detect source encoding. Please, do not use if RPL/2 can be built
1060: without this option !
1061: - new garbage collector (and more efficient) is written;
1062: - configure script is modified to be usable on NetBSD 4.0, but as NetBSD does
1063: not support real time signals, RPL/2 cannot use multitasking functions;
1064: - error returned by preprocessor are now catched by RPL/2;
1065: - -p option is added. With this option, all scripts are compiled before
1066: RPL/2 starts evaluation. HALT cannot be used with -p, but all programs run

1211: - external wrapper (rplplot) is written to force usage of gnuplot provided
1212: by RPL/2 if it is built during build process. If this build does not exist,
1213: it tries to launch regular gnuplot;
1214: - gnuplot is added to source tree to avoid some trouble between preinstalled
1215: gnuplot and release used by RPL/2. This addition to source tree is

1269: - variable management routines have been rewritten. The new ones are
1270: uncompatible with the old ones. Before these changes, a local variable
1271: was exported to a child subroutine, but cannot be modified into this
1272: child subroutine. Now, a local variable is accessible only in its subroutine;
1273: - SAVE intrinsic is added to manipulate global variables;

1594: fine...);
1595: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
1596: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
1597: with a NOTZ function !
1598: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)

1601: - RPL/2 is tested with efence and valgrind;
1602: - configure.in script is modified;
1603: - units.c is modified to be built by gcc-3.3. I only have removed a #if 0/#endif

1664: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
1665: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
1666: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)

1683: - SCLS is added;
1684: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
1685: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
1686: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
1687: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
1688: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
1689: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
1690: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
1691: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
1692: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
1693: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
1694: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
1695: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
1696: external names of the known functions;
1697: - mkrplso.in is modified.
1698: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
1699: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1700: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();

1710: * Sun Apr 13 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6g (RPL/2)
1711: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
1712: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1713: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1714: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1715: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1716: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1717: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1718: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1719: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1720: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1721: same than AXES:
1722: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1723: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1724: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1725: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1726: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1727: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1728: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1729: screen on second scale;
1730: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
1731: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
1732: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
1733: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
1734: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
1735: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
1736: incrementation);
1737: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
1738: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
1739: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
1740: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
1741: the first stack level;
1742: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1743: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
1744: option;
1745: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
1746: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
1747: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
1748: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
1749: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
1750: in 0);
1751: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
1752: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
1753: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
1754: sequencer;
1755: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
1756: of a loop are not integer or real.
1757: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)
1758: - the compilation stage aborts with an error message when two definitions
1759: have the same name. To improve the compilation() subroutine, I have to
1760: add some tests in gestion_variables.c;
1761: - recherche_type() subroutine ad some other connex subroutines are improved.
1762: Now, some syntax errors about object are caught and do not perform sequencer
1763: hangup;
1764: - readline is upgraded (minor compilation bug with recent gcc);
1765: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
1766: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
1767: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
1768: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown
1769: the boxwidth, 1 by default);
1770: - recherche_type() is rewritten to be faster;
1771: - gsl is upgraded (release 1.3);
1772: - ncurses is upgraded and patched (release 5.3);
1773: - recherche_instruction_suivante() is fixed (string research with included
1774: '"') and rewritten to be faster;

1788: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
1789: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
1790: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
1791: - RETURN intrinsic is modified to fix a trouble in interactive mode;
1792: - rplconvert is improved.

1903: sparc v8 and sparc v9. Compilation of RPL/2 on my Sun Sparc 2 (sun4c,
1904: CPU 4/75, 64 MB, 40 MHz with FPU) is a very great mission :
1905:
1906: Newton:[~/rpl/rpl] > time make install
