1: * Tue Mar 09 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.13 (RPL/2)
2: - -a command line option analyzes program (structure and syntax) and
3: sends preprocessor output to standard output. This option is used by
4: rplc (RPL/2 compiler).
5: * Tue Mar 09 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.12 (RPL/2)
6: - in formatted file, string format returned a variable length string even if
7: format was 'CHARACTER*(n)' (n characters string). Now, 'CHARACTER*(*)' returns
8: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
9: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are
10: supported;
11: - direct access files support is added. Currenlty, these files can only be used
12: in formatted mode;
13: - virtual variables are now writte in UTF-8 and all special characters
14: in string are escaped;
15: - all formatted files are now converted into UTF-8;
16: - all file and unix socket names created by RPL/2 are now UTF8 compliant;
17: - RPL/2 tools (rpliconv, rplfile, rplpp and rplconvert) are now checked before
18: each execution (md5 and sha1 sums) to enhance security. If one of these tools
19: have been modified between RPL/2 compilation and current execution, RPL/2 aborts
20: on a non recoverable system error;
21: - openssl and sqlite3 libraries are added;
22: - RPL_HOME env variable is added. When RPL/2 is called from librpl, this
23: variable indicates RPL/2 root directory. If it is not set, root path
24: is given by configure script (d_exec_path);
25: * Thu Mar 03 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.11 (RPL/2)
26: - configure.in and makefile.am's are modified to add Cygwin support. Interix
27: support is broken;

32: fraction intead real one;
33: - SIGN now returns (0,0) instead (nan,nan) when complex argument is null;
34: - Makefile.am are modified to authorize parallel builds;
35: - minor bug is fixed in CR intrinsic. CR sends a carriage return to printer
36: and writes warning to standard output;
37: * Wed Feb 10 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.10 (RPL/2)
38: - escape codes are now converted in formateur(), not in recherche_type() to

40: - minor bug is fixed in formateur_reel();
41: - file-5.03 is patched to avoid bus error on systems that require memory
42: alignment;
43: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation(). Error returned by RPL/C external functions
44: were able to be avoided by evaluation routine.

50: Number of scalar operations per second and per core : 2383016
51:
52: - PULPRFL does not abort on BUG() but on execution error;
53: - TRIM, REPL and TOKENIZE are added;
54: - sockets options are now set before bind();
55: - shutdown() is added to all connected sockets;
56: - minor bug is fixed in SUB intrinsic (segfault when SUB is called with
57: list argument and inexistant elements).
58: * Fri Jan 08 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.8 (RPL/2)
59: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
60: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
61: old pid by new one;
62: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
63: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
64: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with
65: -p option :
66: TEST << iferr TEST2 then end >>
67: TEST2 << 0 inv >>
68: - major bug is fixed in variable management. Some local variables were
69: seen as global ones;
70: - major bug is fixed in rplcore. Rplcore entered in dead lock when
71: script file contains a multibyte character;
72: - IN intrinsic is added;
73: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
74: returned false ;
75: - major bug is fixed in RETURN intrinsic. It only occurs in compiled
76: programs;
77: - major bug is fixed in NEG intrinsic. NEG did not make a copy of its arguments;
78: - regression is fixed in compilation(). "\\" was analysed as '"' '\' '\"' and
79: strings were never closed;
80: - some bugs have been fixed in file management;
81: - RPL/2 can now be run on EBCDIC systems (OS/390);
82: - major bug is fixed in -A command line option (NULL character is missing);
83: - minor bug is fixed in rpliconv and RECODE intrinsic. All transliterations are
84: made by blocks (1024 bytes). When an incomplete multibyte sequence is
85: encountered at end of block, subroutine aborts with an execution error;
86: - major bug is fixed in OPEN (TCP/IPv4 sockets).
87: * Mon Nov 30 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.7 (RPL/2)
88: - DISP now locks stdout;
89: - rpliconv is added to replace standard iconv provided by operating system.
90: Indeed, conversion between different encodages requires transliteration
91: that is not offered by some iconv utility;
92: - CURRENC and RECODE intrinsics have been written to allow strings conversions;
93: - bug is fixed in SYSEVAL. When execvp() returns (for example when arg[0] can
94: not be found), SYSEVAL enters in a dead lock;
95: - fprintf is replaced by some functions that allow transliterations between
96: locales;
97: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
98: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write
99: CGI scripts with RPL/2 because locale charset is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968;
100: - double free is fixed in liberation() (type SQL, only occurs when locale is
101: set);
102: - LOCALIZATION, UCASE and LCASE are added;
103: - major bug is fixed in EXIT intrinsic that was able to return a false
104: execution error in compiled scripts (only in DO/UNTIL and REPEAT/WHILE loops);
105: - major bug is fixed in wrapper_instruction_intrinseque(). When intrinsic() was
106: used in onLoading from shared library, USE was pushed on stack as algebraic
107: expression;
108: - libiconv is upgraded to 1.13.1;
109: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.2.6;
110: - gsl is upgraded to 1.13.
111: * Mon Sep 28 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.6 (RPL/2)
112: - pipe() is overwritten by a macro to avoid a system error. Communication
113: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
114: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
115: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
116: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
117: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
118: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
119: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope
120: this bug shall be the last one;
121: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic (determinant was computed without LU
122: diagonalization);
123: - SWAPCNTXT is added;
124: - minor bug is fixed in Makefile.am (licences rule).
125: * Wed Sep 09 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.5 (RPL/2)
126: - some bugfixes are added in process management;
127: - all process management is rewritten to avoid usage of defunct process
128: or thread number;
129: - new major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. Sometimes, when retrait_thread()
130: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
131: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
132: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
133: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
134: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
135: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
136: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
137: process was running retrait_thread());
138: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
139: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because
140: all messages written by signal handlers are sent to stderr;
141: - configure.in script is modified to test gcc version and avoid a bug in
142: gcc older than 4.4;
143: - some benchmarks have been done :

215: SIGFSTP (with a nullified siginfo structure) instead of SIGHUP when control
216: process is killed;
217: - abs() macro is modified to avoid multiple evaluation. Your C compiler has to
218: know typeof() intrinsic function. This function is not standard but exists
219: under Sun Studio, gcc, and maybe some others compilers. If this function does
220: not exist on your compiler, you can change its definition by old one in

244: deadlock when a huge amount of threads is launched);
245: - minor bug is fixed in boath START and FOR intrinsic. Only occurs when
246: arguments types are unsupported;
247: - PLOT instrinsic is added (usage: LINE and MARK do not draw anything. All

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

283: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
284: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
285: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
286: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
287: main process to abort;
288: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
289: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
290: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
291: should be added;

440: - -p option is added. With this option, all scripts are compiled before
441: RPL/2 starts evaluation. HALT cannot be used with -p, but all programs run
442: 40% faster;
443: - read and write operations in pipe() are rewritten to be sure that such
444: operations are atomic;
445: - minor bug is fixed in LOGSCALE. With {} LOGSCALE, all scales have to be

641: or purge actions. New PARAMETER and VARIABLE intrinsics are modified
642: versions of PROTECT and UNPROTECT that only deal with global variables
643: (see RCL/SAVE);
644: - variable management routines have been rewritten. The new ones are
645: uncompatible with the old ones. Before these changes, a local variable
646: was exported to a child subroutine, but cannot be modified into this
647: child subroutine. Now, a local variable is accessible only in its subroutine;
648: - SAVE intrinsic is added to manipulate global variables;

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

1039: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
1040: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
1041: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)

1062: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
1063: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
1064: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
1065: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
1066: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
1067: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
1068: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
1069: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
1070: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
1071: external names of the known functions;
1072: - mkrplso.in is modified.
1073: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)

1086: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
1087: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1088: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1089: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1090: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1091: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1092: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1093: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1094: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1095: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1096: same than AXES:
1097: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1098: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1099: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1100: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1101: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1102: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1103: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1104: screen on second scale;
1105: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
1106: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
1107: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
1108: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
1109: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
1110: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
1111: incrementation);
1112: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
1113: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
1114: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
1115: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
1116: the first stack level;
1117: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1118: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
1119: option;
1120: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
1121: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
1122: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
1123: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
1124: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
1125: in 0);
1126: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
1127: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
1128: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
1129: sequencer;
1130: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
1131: of a loop are not integer or real.
1132: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)

1134: have the same name. To improve the compilation() subroutine, I have to
1135: add some tests in gestion_variables.c;
1136: - recherche_type() subroutine ad some other connex subroutines are improved.
1137: Now, some syntax errors about object are caught and do not perform sequencer
1138: hangup;
1139: - readline is upgraded (minor compilation bug with recent gcc);
1140: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
1141: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
1142: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
