Dernière série de patches pour gérer les types externes dans les
bibliothèques. Voir pour cela modules/sets. Fonctionne.

Attention, ne permet pas encore de compiler un code utilisant des types
externes (la compilation se fait avant l'exécution de l'instruction USE).

  361: Number of scalar operations per second and per core : 2625369.22710792
  362: * Mon Jun 20 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.1.0.prerelease.0 (RPL/2)
  363: - New variable management is written. Please note that -p flag does not work
  364: and all multithread/multitask capabilities have been disabled until this
  365: new subsystem shall be validated.
  366: * Thu May 09 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.23 (RPL/2)
  367: - major bug is fixed in STD format (1E7 sq prints 1);
  368: - major bug is fixed in READ intrinsic (socket). This bug was introduced
  369: by a new feature in glibc.
  370: * Thu Apr 14 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.22 (RPL/2)
  371: - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
  372: "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
  373: - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
  374: to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
  375: to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
  376: - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
  377: subroutines;
  378: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
  379: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
  380: - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
  381: when X was a vector or a table.
  382: * Sun Apr 04 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.21 (RPL/2)
  383: - Gnuplot is upgraded;
  384: - flag 34 is now used to enable or disable control character evaluation;
  385: - major bug is fixed in P->R intrinsic function when argument type is
  386: complex and degree mode is set;
  387: - L->T and T->L are added;
  388: - OLD filetype is fixed;
  389: - FLOW socket support is added;
  390: - FLOW sequential files are added;
  391: - new escape sequence is added to handle flow files (\x + hexadecimal code).
  392: Known escape sequences are \", \b, \n, \t, \x?? and \\.
  393: * Sun Mar 06 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.20 (RPL/2)
  394: - Ncurses is upgraded to 5.8;
  395: - ALARM is fixed by filling isdst field;
  396: - catch ECONNRESET in write intrinsic to return an execution error instead of
  397: system one;
  398: - fix a typo in HELP intrinsic;
  399: - Openssl is upgraded to 1.0.0d, sqlite to 3.7.5 and readline to 6.2;
  400: - Lapack is upgraded to 3.3.0;
  401: - libmtmalloc is now default Solaris allocator;
  402: - ncurses is upgraded;
  403: - regression introduced by 4.0.19 is fixed in signal management.
  404: Interruption1() could be called from itself and raises bus error (on sparc) or
  405: segmentation fault;
  406: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.4;
  407: - OpenSSL is upgraded to 1.0.0c;
  408: - syntax error is correctly checked ( (2+,0) does not crash RPL/2 anymore);
  409: - characters are tested in recherche_type() to avoid names like '12+';
  410: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.2 due to major bugs.
  411: * Thu Sep 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.19 (RPL/2)
  412: - due to a very strange bug I've only seen on Solaris, ptmalloc3 is removed.
  413: Solaris libresolv randomly uses ptmalloc3 and system allocator and makes heap
  414: corruption. As internal memory management have been improved, a best fit
  415: allocator like ptmalloc3 is not required anymore;
  416: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.1;
  417: - deadlock is fixed in signal handlers: same mutex was used in standard
  418: subroutines (without protected sections by sigprocmask() or pthread_sigmask())
  419: and signal handlers. A new signal handler specific mutex is added;
  420: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. In { X 0 PI }, PI is a function
  421: that has to be evaluated by ->NUM;
  422: - rplfile build process is modify to be sure that rplfile is not modified
  423: after rpl build stage (to be sure that rplfile checksum is not modified after
  424: rpl compilation);
  425: - AWK is replaced by rplawk. rplawk is original awk written by Brian Kernighan,
  426: modified to remove yacc code and renamed;
  427: - some workarounds have been written to not use buggy klibc SystemV IPCS.
  428: ABORT now works on eComStation;
  429: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.2;
  430: - bug is fixed in software interrupts. When both process have different PID,
  431: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
  432: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
  433: in parent process;
  434: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
  435: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
  436: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
  437: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
  438: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
  439: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
  440: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
  441: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
  442: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
  443: (Unix PID);
  444: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
  445: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;
  446: - SWI now sends SIGCONT to interrupted process to start interrupt without delay;
  447: - random generator is cloned by SPAWN;
  448: - in transliteration subroutine : '\r' is added after all '\n' in OS/2 port;
  449: - getaddrinfo is hardcoded when host system does not provide getaddrinfo
  450: or freeaddrinfo;
  451: - RPL/2 can now use SystemV semaphores when POSIX semaphores are unavailable;
  452: - major bug is fixed in CHR intrinsic when obtained character is not printable;
  453: - Lapack is upgraded to 3.2.2;
  454: - OS/2 (eComStation 2.0 with EMX 0.9d) support is added;
  455: - TOKENIZE is now able to convert escape sequences;
  456: - ATPOKE and CLRATPOKE new intrinsics are added;
  457: - --enable-full-static configure flag is added. With this flag, mysql and
  458: postgresql libraries are statically linked in rpl executable;
  459: - units Makefile is modified to avoid readline and ncurses usages;
  460: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.0.1;
  461: - units is upgraded to 1.88;
  462: - another major bug is fixed in the same variable creation subroutine.
  463: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
  464: a name of RPL/2 routine;
  465: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
  466: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
  467: computed address of global variable was wrong;
  468: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
  469: is forced in front of all libraries.
  470: * Tue Jul 13 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.17 (RPL/2)
  471: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
  472: - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
  473: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
  474: caught;
  475: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
  476: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
  477: with a segmentation error;
  478: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
  479: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
  480: signals;
  481: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
  482: matrix.
  483: * Thu Jun 24 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.16 (RPL/2)
  484: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. With this patch, same program
  485: returns same result with or without -p flag;
  486: - ncurses 5.7 is upgraded to 20100619;
  487: - openssl is upgraded to 1.0.0a;
  488: - interrupt stacks are now FIFO instead of LIFO;
  489: - debug memory allocation subroutines are improved to run in multithreaded
  490: programs;
  491: - some memory leaks are fixed in process management (SPAWN and DETACH);
  492: - version verification is added to shared objects;
  493: - -D_GNU_SOURCE is added to ptmalloc3 makefile to avoid a major bug on 64 bits
  494: linux (false mremap() prototype);
  495: - major bug is fixed in rpliconv. getc() returns an int, not a unsigned char.
  496: * Sun May 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.15 (RPL/2)
  497: - all '-' are replaced by '_' in random generator list;
  498: - minor memory leak is fixed in OPEN intrinsic (socket);
  499: - major bug is fixed in IFERR structure. Only occurs in compiled program;
  500: - major bug is fixed in copie_objet() and liberation(). Only concerns
  501: format in FCH (file descriptor) and SCK (socket descriptor);
  502: - debug routines are improved;
  503: - PROCID is added;
  504: - MEMLOCK and MEMUNLOCK are added. MEMLOCK forces a process to remain in memory
  505: and to not use swap;
  506: - major bug is fixed in sql support. SQL connections were closed in all chield
  507: process;
  508: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
  509: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that
  510: are first fit class allocators. Solaris libmtmalloc works better and is
  511: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3
  512: performance;
  513: - major bug is fixed in ROW+ intrinsic (new row was not added where it
  514: should);
  515: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is
  516: caught);
  517: - major bug is fixed in STOP intrinsic. STOP was unable to stop any process
  518: created by SPAWN;
  519: - SIGFABORT is added. When process receives SIGFSTOP, it tries to execute
  520: ATEXIT. If it receives SIGFABORT, it does not;
  521: - ONEXIT is renamed in ATEXIT;
  522: - ONEXIT new intrinsic is added.
  523: * Wed Apr 21 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.14 (RPL/2)
  524: - major bug is fixed in static and shared variables initialization subroutine.
  525: This bug only occurs when RPL/2 tries to create a shared or static variable
  526: from an expression;
  527: - major bug is fixed in copie_etat_processus(). A field that contains
  528: information about shared variable was not copied to new processus structure;
  529: - some little memory leaks are fixed in evaluation(), recherche_type() and
  530: sequenceur(). They only occured when syntax error were caught;
  531: - IMPLICIT causes execution error instead system error;
  532: - Hurd support is improved but currently broken because Hurd does not support
  533: SIG_INFO. Work in progress;
  534: - OpenBSD specific support is removed from sources;
  535: - support for Mac OS X and Windows/Cygwin is added.
  536: * Wed Apr 07 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.13 (RPL/2)

  575: * Tue Mar 09 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.12 (RPL/2)
  576: - in formatted file, string format returned a variable length string even if
  577: format was 'CHARACTER*(n)' (n characters string). Now, 'CHARACTER*(*)' returns
  578: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
  579: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are
  580: supported;
  581: - direct access files support is added. Currenlty, these files can only be used
  582: in formatted mode;
  583: - virtual variables are now writte in UTF-8 and all special characters
  584: in string are escaped;
  585: - all formatted files are now converted into UTF-8;
  586: - all file and unix socket names created by RPL/2 are now UTF-8 compliant;
  587: - RPL/2 tools (rpliconv, rplfile, rplpp and rplconvert) are now checked before
  588: each execution (md5 and sha1 sums) to enhance security. If one of these tools
  589: have been modified between RPL/2 compilation and current execution, RPL/2 aborts
  590: on a non recoverable system error;
  591: - openssl and sqlite3 libraries are added;
  592: - RPL_HOME env variable is added. When RPL/2 is called from librpl, this
  593: variable indicates RPL/2 root directory. If it is not set, root path
  594: is given by configure script (d_exec_path);
  595: * Thu Mar 03 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.11 (RPL/2)
  596: - configure.in and makefile.am's are modified to add Cygwin support. Interix
  597: support is broken;

  602: fraction intead real one;
  603: - SIGN now returns (0,0) instead (nan,nan) when complex argument is null;
  604: - Makefile.am are modified to authorize parallel builds;
  605: - minor bug is fixed in CR intrinsic. CR sends a carriage return to printer
  606: and writes warning to standard output;
  607: * Wed Feb 10 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.10 (RPL/2)
  608: - escape codes are now converted in formateur(), not in recherche_type() to
  609: avoid a minor bug in EDIT and VISIT intrinsics;
  610: - minor bug is fixed in formateur_reel();
  611: - file-5.03 is patched to avoid bus error on systems that require memory
  612: alignment;
  613: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation(). Error returned by RPL/C external functions
  614: were able to be avoided by evaluation routine.

  627: list argument and inexistant elements).
  628: * Fri Jan 08 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.8 (RPL/2)
  629: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
  630: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
  631: old pid by new one;
  632: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
  633: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
  634: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with
  635: -p option :
  636:     TEST << iferr TEST2 then end >>
  637:     TEST2 << 0 inv >>
  638: - major bug is fixed in variable management. Some local variables were
  639: seen as global ones;
  640: - major bug is fixed in rplcore. Rplcore entered in dead lock when
  641: script file contains a multibyte character;
  642: - IN intrinsic is added;
  643: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
  644: returned false ;
  645: - major bug is fixed in RETURN intrinsic. It only occurs in compiled
  646: programs;
  647: - major bug is fixed in NEG intrinsic. NEG did not make a copy of its arguments;
  648: - regression is fixed in compilation(). "\\" was analysed as '"' '\' '\"' and
  649: strings were never closed;
  650: - some bugs have been fixed in file management;
  651: - RPL/2 can now be run on EBCDIC systems (OS/390);
  652: - major bug is fixed in -A command line option (NULL character is missing);
  653: - minor bug is fixed in rpliconv and RECODE intrinsic. All transliterations are
  654: made by blocks (1024 bytes). When an incomplete multibyte sequence is
  655: encountered at end of block, subroutine aborts with an execution error;
  656: - major bug is fixed in OPEN (TCP/IPv4 sockets).
  657: * Mon Nov 30 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.7 (RPL/2)
  658: - DISP now locks stdout;
  659: - rpliconv is added to replace standard iconv provided by operating system.
  660: Indeed, conversion between different encodages requires transliteration
  661: that is not offered by some iconv utility;
  662: - CURRENC and RECODE intrinsics have been written to allow strings conversions;
  663: - bug is fixed in SYSEVAL. When execvp() returns (for example when arg[0] can
  664: not be found), SYSEVAL enters in a dead lock;
  665: - fprintf is replaced by some functions that allow transliterations between
  666: locales;
  667: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
  668: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write
  669: CGI scripts with RPL/2 because locale charset is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968;
  670: - double free is fixed in liberation() (type SQL, only occurs when locale is
  671: set);
  672: - LOCALIZATION, UCASE and LCASE are added;
  673: - major bug is fixed in EXIT intrinsic that was able to return a false
  674: execution error in compiled scripts (only in DO/UNTIL and REPEAT/WHILE loops);
  675: - major bug is fixed in wrapper_instruction_intrinseque(). When intrinsic() was
  676: used in onLoading from shared library, USE was pushed on stack as algebraic
  677: expression;
  678: - libiconv is upgraded to 1.13.1;
  679: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.2.6;
  680: - gsl is upgraded to 1.13.
  681: * Mon Sep 28 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.6 (RPL/2)
  682: - pipe() is overwritten by a macro to avoid a system error. Communication
  683: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
  684: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
  685: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
  686: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
  687: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
  688: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
  689: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope
  690: this bug shall be the last one;
  691: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic (determinant was computed without LU
  692: diagonalization);
  693: - SWAPCNTXT is added;
  694: - minor bug is fixed in Makefile.am (licences rule).
  695: * Wed Sep 09 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.5 (RPL/2)
  696: - some bugfixes are added in process management;
  697: - all process management is rewritten to avoid usage of defunct process
  698: or thread number;
  699: - new major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. Sometimes, when retrait_thread()
  700: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
  701: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
  702: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
  703: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
  704: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
  705: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
  706: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
  707: process was running retrait_thread());
  708: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
  709: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because
  710: all messages written by signal handlers are sent to stderr;
  711: - configure.in script is modified to test gcc version and avoid a bug in
  712: gcc older than 4.4;
  713: - some benchmarks have been done :

  730: - SVL and SVD are added;
  731: - COND and RANK are added;
  732: - DIAG-> and ->DIAG are added;
  733: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic. DET is rewritten to avoid usage of

  745: - minor bug is fixed in both CSTOP and RSTOP intrinsics. Without this fix, you
  746: can call twice CSTOP without RSTOP;
  747: - named semaphore support is added (CRSMPHR, CLRSMPHR, SMHRDECR, SMPHRINCR,
  748: SMPHRTRYDECR, SMPHGETV).

  757: * Fri Jul 17 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.3 (RPL/2)
  758: - minor bug is fixed in WRITE (SIGPIPE is ignored to catch error without
  759: process termination);
  760: - major bug is fixed in FUSE intrinsic (FUSE kills itself and do not kill
  761: its parent);
  762: - a mutex to protect fork() syscall is added;
  763: - all mutexes are unlocked after fork() in DETACH;

  773: - a memory leak is fixed in REMOVE intrinsic;
  774: - major bug is fixed in MySQL driver (segfault due to a bug in mysql_init()
  775: and due to a libmysqlclient that is not thread safe).
  776: * Wen Jun 10 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.2 (RPL/2)
  777: - new enhanced allocator is written for regular variables, static variables and

  782: - --enable-profile flag is added to configure script. When this flag is
  783: enabled, rpl is built with -pg option;
  784: - SIGFSTP (from Solaris'TERMIO) is caught. On Solaris 10, all process receive
  785: SIGFSTP (with a nullified siginfo structure) instead of SIGHUP when control
  786: process is killed;
  787: - abs() macro is modified to avoid multiple evaluation. Your C compiler has to
  788: know typeof() intrinsic function. This function is not standard but exists
  789: under Sun Studio, gcc, and maybe some others compilers. If this function does
  790: not exist on your compiler, you can change its definition by old one in
  791: src/rpl.h;
  792: - fflush() can now be interrupted by signal (SunOS);

  853: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
  854: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
  855: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
  856: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
  857: main process to abort;
  858: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
  859: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
  860: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
  861: should be added;
  862: - -D flag and DAEMONIZE intrinsic have been added;
  863: - REPEAT, THEN, ELSE and ELSEIF intrinsics are rewritten to be more efficient;

 1155: - HELP function is rewritten to be more friendly (a la OpenVMS);
 1156: - external wrapper (rplplot) is written to force usage of gnuplot provided
 1157: by RPL/2 if it is built during build process. If this build does not exist,
 1158: it tries to launch regular gnuplot;
 1159: - gnuplot is added to source tree to avoid some trouble between preinstalled
 1160: gnuplot and release used by RPL/2. This addition to source tree is

 1211: or purge actions. New PARAMETER and VARIABLE intrinsics are modified
 1212: versions of PROTECT and UNPROTECT that only deal with global variables
 1213: (see RCL/SAVE);
 1214: - variable management routines have been rewritten. The new ones are
 1215: uncompatible with the old ones. Before these changes, a local variable

 1539: fine...);
 1540: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
 1541: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
 1542: with a NOTZ function !
 1543: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)

 1546: - RPL/2 is tested with efence and valgrind;
 1547: - configure.in script is modified;
 1548: - units.c is modified to be built by gcc-3.3. I only have removed a #if 0/#endif

 1628: - SCLS is added;
 1629: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
 1630: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
 1631: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
 1632: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
 1633: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
 1634: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
 1635: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
 1636: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
 1637: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
 1638: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
 1639: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
 1640: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
 1641: external names of the known functions;
 1642: - mkrplso.in is modified.
 1643: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)

 1656: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
 1657: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
 1658: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
 1659: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
 1660: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
 1661: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
 1662: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
 1663: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
 1664: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
 1665: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
 1666: same than AXES:
 1667: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
 1668: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
 1669: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
 1670: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
 1671: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
 1672: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
 1673: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
 1674: screen on second scale;
 1675: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
 1676: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
 1677: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
 1678: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
 1679: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
 1680: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
 1681: incrementation);
 1682: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
 1683: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
 1684: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
 1685: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
 1686: the first stack level;
 1687: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
 1688: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
 1689: option;
 1690: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
 1691: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
 1692: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
 1693: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
 1694: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
 1695: in 0);
 1696: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
 1697: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
 1698: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
 1699: sequencer;
 1700: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
 1701: of a loop are not integer or real.
 1702: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)

 1704: have the same name. To improve the compilation() subroutine, I have to
 1705: add some tests in gestion_variables.c;
 1706: - recherche_type() subroutine ad some other connex subroutines are improved.
 1707: Now, some syntax errors about object are caught and do not perform sequencer
 1708: hangup;
 1709: - readline is upgraded (minor compilation bug with recent gcc);
 1710: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
 1711: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
 1712: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
 1713: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown
 1714: the boxwidth, 1 by default);
 1715: - recherche_type() is rewritten to be faster;
 1716: - gsl is upgraded (release 1.3);
 1717: - ncurses is upgraded and patched (release 5.3);
 1718: - recherche_instruction_suivante() is fixed (string research with included
 1719: '"') and rewritten to be faster;

 1733: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
 1734: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
 1735: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
 1736: - RETURN intrinsic is modified to fix a trouble in interactive mode;
 1737: - rplconvert is improved.

 1819: deleted too!;
 1820: - configure script is improved (and it seems to be good ;-) );

 1837: signal is an asynchonous "HALT" command;
 1838: - SIGINT (CTRL+C) variables stack corruption is fixed;
 1839: - IFERR seems to be fixed (in equation evaluation routine);

 1848: sparc v8 and sparc v9. Compilation of RPL/2 on my Sun Sparc 2 (sun4c,
 1849: CPU 4/75, 64 MB, 40 MHz with FPU) is a very great mission :
 1850: 
 1851: Newton:[~/rpl/rpl] > time make install

 1853: real    338m39.623s
 1854: user    324m32.290s
