329: - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
330: "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
331: - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
332: to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
333: to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
334: - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
335: subroutines;
336: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
337: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
338: - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
339: when X was a vector or a table.

371: Solaris libresolv randomly uses ptmalloc3 and system allocator and makes heap
372: corruption. As internal memory management have been improved, a best fit
373: allocator like ptmalloc3 is not required anymore;
374: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.1;
375: - deadlock is fixed in signal handlers: same mutex was used in standard
376: subroutines (without protected sections by sigprocmask() or pthread_sigmask())
377: and signal handlers. A new signal handler specific mutex is added;
378: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. In { X 0 PI }, PI is a function
379: that has to be evaluated by ->NUM;
380: - rplfile build process is modify to be sure that rplfile is not modified
381: after rpl build stage (to be sure that rplfile checksum is not modified after

390: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
391: in parent process;
392: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
393: when child process is protected by NRPROC.

395: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
396: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
397: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
398: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
399: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of

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

434: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
435: with a segmentation error;
436: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
437: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
438: signals;

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

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

533: * Tue Mar 09 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.12 (RPL/2)
534: - in formatted file, string format returned a variable length string even if
535: format was 'CHARACTER*(n)' (n characters string). Now, 'CHARACTER*(*)' returns
536: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
537: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are
538: supported;
539: - direct access files support is added. Currenlty, these files can only be used
540: in formatted mode;

545: - RPL/2 tools (rpliconv, rplfile, rplpp and rplconvert) are now checked before
546: each execution (md5 and sha1 sums) to enhance security. If one of these tools
547: have been modified between RPL/2 compilation and current execution, RPL/2 aborts
548: on a non recoverable system error;
549: - openssl and sqlite3 libraries are added;
550: - RPL_HOME env variable is added. When RPL/2 is called from librpl, this
551: variable indicates RPL/2 root directory. If it is not set, root path
552: is given by configure script (d_exec_path);
553: * Thu Mar 03 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.11 (RPL/2)

587: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
588: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
589: old pid by new one;
590: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
591: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
592: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with
593: -p option :
594: TEST << iferr TEST2 then end >>
595: TEST2 << 0 inv >>
596: - major bug is fixed in variable management. Some local variables were
597: seen as global ones;

599: script file contains a multibyte character;
600: - IN intrinsic is added;
601: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
602: returned false ;
603: - major bug is fixed in RETURN intrinsic. It only occurs in compiled
604: programs;
605: - major bug is fixed in NEG intrinsic. NEG did not make a copy of its arguments;
606: - regression is fixed in compilation(). "\\" was analysed as '"' '\' '\"' and
607: strings were never closed;
608: - some bugs have been fixed in file management;

613: encountered at end of block, subroutine aborts with an execution error;
614: - major bug is fixed in OPEN (TCP/IPv4 sockets).
615: * Mon Nov 30 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.7 (RPL/2)
616: - DISP now locks stdout;
617: - rpliconv is added to replace standard iconv provided by operating system.

619: that is not offered by some iconv utility;
620: - CURRENC and RECODE intrinsics have been written to allow strings conversions;
621: - bug is fixed in SYSEVAL. When execvp() returns (for example when arg[0] can

623: - fprintf is replaced by some functions that allow transliterations between
624: locales;
625: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
626: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write
627: CGI scripts with RPL/2 because locale charset is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968;

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

659: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
660: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
661: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
662: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
663: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
664: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
665: process was running retrait_thread());
666: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;

769: - Signal handlers are rewritten to send signal to main thread when a signal
770: is send from an external process;
771: - configure.in is modified to avoid a libc bug on Solaris (free() can enter in
772: deadlock when a huge amount of threads is launched);
773: - minor bug is fixed in boath START and FOR intrinsic. Only occurs when
774: arguments types are unsupported;
775: - PLOT instrinsic is added (usage: LINE and MARK do not draw anything. All

777: - MARK instrinsic is added;
778: - new allocator mechanism is written;
779: - some regression bugs have been fixed, some memory leaks too.
780: * Wed Jan 28 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.0.prerelease.9 (RPL/2)

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

811: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
812: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
813: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
814: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
815: main process to abort;
816: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
817: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
818: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
819: should be added;
820: - -D flag and DAEMONIZE intrinsic have been added;
821: - REPEAT, THEN, ELSE and ELSEIF intrinsics are rewritten to be more efficient;

960: - as old file program was bugged, a new option is added to configure script.
961: When configure is called with --disable-encoding-autodetection, make does not
962: try to detect source encoding. Please, do not use if RPL/2 can be built
963: without this option !
964: - new garbage collector (and more efficient) is written;

966: not support real time signals, RPL/2 cannot use multitasking functions;
967: - error returned by preprocessor are now catched by RPL/2;
968: - -p option is added. With this option, all scripts are compiled before
969: RPL/2 starts evaluation. HALT cannot be used with -p, but all programs run
970: 40% faster;
971: - read and write operations in pipe() are rewritten to be sure that such
972: operations are atomic;
973: - minor bug is fixed in LOGSCALE. With {} LOGSCALE, all scales have to be

1113: - HELP function is rewritten to be more friendly (a la OpenVMS);
1114: - external wrapper (rplplot) is written to force usage of gnuplot provided
1115: by RPL/2 if it is built during build process. If this build does not exist,
1116: it tries to launch regular gnuplot;
1117: - gnuplot is added to source tree to avoid some trouble between preinstalled
1118: gnuplot and release used by RPL/2. This addition to source tree is
1119: required by some incompatibility between gnuplot releases;

1553: * Sun Jun 1 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6k (RPL/2)
1554: - SLICESCALE intrinsic is added. Its syntax is
1555: { "automatic" nb_of_levels }
1556: { "discrete" l1 l2 l3 ... }
1557: { "incremental" start incr }
1558: { "incremental" start incr end }
1559: { "automatic" } (default);

1561: - flag 52 is used to automatically update graphics;
1562: - man pages are updated;
1563: - evaluation() is modified to perform evaluation of expressions that contain
1564: '=';
1565: - a minor bug is fixed in AXES intrinsic;
1566: - a minor bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic (2D and 3D graphics were able to
1567: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
1568: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
1569: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)
1570: - SLICE intrinsic is added. It is used to draw 3D graphics as contour lines;

1586: - SCLS is added;
1587: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
1588: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
1589: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
1590: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
1591: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
1592: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
1593: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
1594: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
1595: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
1596: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
1597: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
1598: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
1599: external names of the known functions;
1600: - mkrplso.in is modified.
1601: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
1602: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1603: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();
1604: - some minor memory leaks are fixed in recherche_type() function. They only

1612: - PUTC and PUTR new intrinsics are added.
1613: * Sun Apr 13 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6g (RPL/2)
1614: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
1615: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1616: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1617: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1618: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1619: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1620: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1621: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1622: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1623: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1624: same than AXES:
1625: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1626: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1627: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1628: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1629: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1630: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1631: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1632: screen on second scale;
1633: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
1634: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
1635: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
1636: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
1637: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
1638: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
1639: incrementation);
1640: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
1641: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
1642: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
1643: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
1644: the first stack level;
1645: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1646: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
1647: option;
1648: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
1649: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
1650: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
1651: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
1652: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
1653: in 0);
1654: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
1655: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
1656: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
1657: sequencer;
1658: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
1659: of a loop are not integer or real.
1660: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)

1668: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
1669: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
1670: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
1671: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown
1672: the boxwidth, 1 by default);
1673: - recherche_type() is rewritten to be faster;
1674: - gsl is upgraded (release 1.3);
1675: - ncurses is upgraded and patched (release 5.3);
1676: - recherche_instruction_suivante() is fixed (string research with included
1677: '"') and rewritten to be faster;

1688: - a minor bug is fixed in evaluation subroutine;
1689: - vim syntax file is improved;
1690: - DRAW (wireframe section) is fixed. When an error occurs in the evaluation
1691: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
1692: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
1693: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
1694: - RETURN intrinsic is modified to fix a trouble in interactive mode;
1695: - rplconvert is improved.

1803: - Makefile is improved to support sparc v7 (sun4c), sparc v8 (sun4m) and
1804: sparc v9 (sun4u). Now, RPL/2 can be built on i386 (i486 is known as i386),
1805: i586, i686, K6, K7, alpha ev4, alpha ev5, alpha ev56, alpha ev6, sparc v7,
1806: sparc v8 and sparc v9. Compilation of RPL/2 on my Sun Sparc 2 (sun4c,
1807: CPU 4/75, 64 MB, 40 MHz with FPU) is a very great mission :
1808:
1809: Newton:[~/rpl/rpl] > time make install
1810: ...
1811: real 338m39.623s
1812: user 324m32.290s
