213: * Thu Apr 14 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.22 (RPL/2)
214: - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
215: "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
216: - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
217: to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
218: to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
219: - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
220: subroutines;
221: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
222: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
223: - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
224: when X was a vector or a table.

255: - due to a very strange bug I've only seen on Solaris, ptmalloc3 is removed.
256: Solaris libresolv randomly uses ptmalloc3 and system allocator and makes heap
257: corruption. As internal memory management have been improved, a best fit
258: allocator like ptmalloc3 is not required anymore;
259: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.1;
260: - deadlock is fixed in signal handlers: same mutex was used in standard
261: subroutines (without protected sections by sigprocmask() or pthread_sigmask())
262: and signal handlers. A new signal handler specific mutex is added;
263: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. In { X 0 PI }, PI is a function
264: that has to be evaluated by ->NUM;
265: - rplfile build process is modify to be sure that rplfile is not modified
266: after rpl build stage (to be sure that rplfile checksum is not modified after

274: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
275: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
276: in parent process;
277: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
278: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
279: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
280: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
281: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
282: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
283: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
284: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
285: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
286: (Unix PID);
287: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
288: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;

306: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
307: a name of RPL/2 routine;
308: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
309: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
310: computed address of global variable was wrong;
311: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
312: is forced in front of all libraries.

314: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
315: - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
316: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
317: caught;
318: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
319: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
320: with a segmentation error;
321: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
322: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
323: signals;
324: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
325: matrix.
326: * Thu Jun 24 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.16 (RPL/2)

344: format in FCH (file descriptor) and SCK (socket descriptor);
345: - debug routines are improved;
346: - PROCID is added;
347: - MEMLOCK and MEMUNLOCK are added. MEMLOCK forces a process to remain in memory
348: and to not use swap;
349: - major bug is fixed in sql support. SQL connections were closed in all chield
350: process;
351: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
352: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that
353: are first fit class allocators. Solaris libmtmalloc works better and is
354: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3
355: performance;
356: - major bug is fixed in ROW+ intrinsic (new row was not added where it
357: should);
358: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is
359: caught);
360: - major bug is fixed in STOP intrinsic. STOP was unable to stop any process
361: created by SPAWN;

371: information about shared variable was not copied to new processus structure;
372: - some little memory leaks are fixed in evaluation(), recherche_type() and
373: sequenceur(). They only occured when syntax error were caught;
374: - IMPLICIT causes execution error instead system error;
375: - Hurd support is improved but currently broken because Hurd does not support
376: SIG_INFO. Work in progress;
377: - OpenBSD specific support is removed from sources;
378: - support for Mac OS X and Windows/Cygwin is added.

417: rplc (RPL/2 compiler).
418: * Tue Mar 09 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.12 (RPL/2)
419: - in formatted file, string format returned a variable length string even if
420: format was 'CHARACTER*(n)' (n characters string). Now, 'CHARACTER*(*)' returns
421: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
422: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are
423: supported;
424: - direct access files support is added. Currenlty, these files can only be used
425: in formatted mode;

427: in string are escaped;
428: - all formatted files are now converted into UTF-8;
429: - all file and unix socket names created by RPL/2 are now UTF-8 compliant;
430: - RPL/2 tools (rpliconv, rplfile, rplpp and rplconvert) are now checked before
431: each execution (md5 and sha1 sums) to enhance security. If one of these tools
432: have been modified between RPL/2 compilation and current execution, RPL/2 aborts
433: on a non recoverable system error;
434: - openssl and sqlite3 libraries are added;
435: - RPL_HOME env variable is added. When RPL/2 is called from librpl, this
436: variable indicates RPL/2 root directory. If it is not set, root path
437: is given by configure script (d_exec_path);
438: * Thu Mar 03 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.11 (RPL/2)
439: - configure.in and makefile.am's are modified to add Cygwin support. Interix

471: * Fri Jan 08 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.8 (RPL/2)
472: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
473: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
474: old pid by new one;
475: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
476: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
477: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with
478: -p option :
479: TEST << iferr TEST2 then end >>
480: TEST2 << 0 inv >>
481: - major bug is fixed in variable management. Some local variables were
482: seen as global ones;

484: script file contains a multibyte character;
485: - IN intrinsic is added;
486: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
487: returned false ;
488: - major bug is fixed in RETURN intrinsic. It only occurs in compiled
489: programs;
490: - major bug is fixed in NEG intrinsic. NEG did not make a copy of its arguments;
491: - regression is fixed in compilation(). "\\" was analysed as '"' '\' '\"' and

498: encountered at end of block, subroutine aborts with an execution error;
499: - major bug is fixed in OPEN (TCP/IPv4 sockets).
500: * Mon Nov 30 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.7 (RPL/2)
501: - DISP now locks stdout;
502: - rpliconv is added to replace standard iconv provided by operating system.
503: Indeed, conversion between different encodages requires transliteration
504: that is not offered by some iconv utility;
505: - CURRENC and RECODE intrinsics have been written to allow strings conversions;
506: - bug is fixed in SYSEVAL. When execvp() returns (for example when arg[0] can
507: not be found), SYSEVAL enters in a dead lock;
508: - fprintf is replaced by some functions that allow transliterations between
509: locales;
510: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
511: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write
512: CGI scripts with RPL/2 because locale charset is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968;
513: - double free is fixed in liberation() (type SQL, only occurs when locale is
514: set);
515: - LOCALIZATION, UCASE and LCASE are added;
516: - major bug is fixed in EXIT intrinsic that was able to return a false
517: execution error in compiled scripts (only in DO/UNTIL and REPEAT/WHILE loops);
518: - major bug is fixed in wrapper_instruction_intrinseque(). When intrinsic() was
519: used in onLoading from shared library, USE was pushed on stack as algebraic

522: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.2.6;
523: - gsl is upgraded to 1.13.

525: - pipe() is overwritten by a macro to avoid a system error. Communication
526: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
527: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
528: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
529: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
530: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
531: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
532: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope
533: this bug shall be the last one;
534: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic (determinant was computed without LU
535: diagonalization);

540: - all process management is rewritten to avoid usage of defunct process
541: or thread number;
542: - new major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. Sometimes, when retrait_thread()
543: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
544: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
545: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
546: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
547: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
548: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
549: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
550: process was running retrait_thread());
551: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
552: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because
553: all messages written by signal handlers are sent to stderr;
554: - configure.in script is modified to test gcc version and avoid a bug in

628: SIGFSTP (with a nullified siginfo structure) instead of SIGHUP when control
629: process is killed;
630: - abs() macro is modified to avoid multiple evaluation. Your C compiler has to
631: know typeof() intrinsic function. This function is not standard but exists
632: under Sun Studio, gcc, and maybe some others compilers. If this function does

675: static variable that is shared by multiple threads;
676: - '->' intrinsic is improved. All object copies have been avoided;
677: - -n flag is added to catch HUP signal. stderr and stdout are redirected
678: to a file, stdin is redirected to /dev/null when control process is killed;

696: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
697: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
698: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
699: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
700: main process to abort;
701: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
702: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
703: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes

1054: or purge actions. New PARAMETER and VARIABLE intrinsics are modified
1055: versions of PROTECT and UNPROTECT that only deal with global variables
1056: (see RCL/SAVE);
1057: - variable management routines have been rewritten. The new ones are
1058: uncompatible with the old ones. Before these changes, a local variable
1059: was exported to a child subroutine, but cannot be modified into this
1060: child subroutine. Now, a local variable is accessible only in its subroutine;

1383: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
1384: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
1385: with a NOTZ function !
1386: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)

1475: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
1476: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
1477: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
1478: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
1479: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
1480: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
1481: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
1482: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
1483: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
1484: external names of the known functions;
1485: - mkrplso.in is modified.
1486: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)

1500: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1501: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1502: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1503: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1504: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1505: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1506: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1507: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1508: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1509: same than AXES:
1510: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1511: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1512: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1513: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1514: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1515: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1516: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1517: screen on second scale;

1538: in 0);
1539: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
1540: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
1541: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
1542: sequencer;
1543: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
1544: of a loop are not integer or real.
