11: - global variables can now be recalled from ATEXIT procedure;
12: - ATEXIT registered procedure is now executed even if program is stopped by
13: SIGINT;
14: - minor bug is fixed in TOKENIZE intrinsic instruction. TOKENIZE did not work on
15: a copy of input string;

23: to write data without precision loss. It can also be used to write
24: complex objects like expressions, lists or tables;
25: - major bug is fixed in formateur(). When INT64_MIN was pushed into stack,
26: internal value was good but RPL/2 was not able to correctly display
27: this value. This bug comes from ABS as ABS(INT64_MIN) cannot be represented
28: in integer. All abs(), fabs() and labs() present in source code have been
29: checked to avoid this kind of bug;

71: interrupt a loop from a subroutine within a compiled programm;
72: - workaround to avoid strange bug on slow network is written in READ
73: intrinsic;
74: - CRITICAL/END structure is added. When program enters in a critical
75: section, all other threads of the same process sleep until program leaves

240: by a new feature in glibc.
241: * Thu Apr 14 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.22 (RPL/2)
242: - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
243: "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
244: - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
245: to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
246: to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
247: - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
248: subroutines;
249: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
250: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
251: - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
252: when X was a vector or a table.

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

302: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
303: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
304: in parent process;
305: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
306: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
307: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
308: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
309: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
310: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
311: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
312: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
313: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
314: (Unix PID);
315: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
316: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;
317: - SWI now sends SIGCONT to interrupted process to start interrupt without delay;

334: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
335: a name of RPL/2 routine;
336: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
337: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
338: computed address of global variable was wrong;
339: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
340: is forced in front of all libraries.
341: * Tue Jul 13 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.17 (RPL/2)
342: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
343: - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
344: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
345: caught;
346: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
347: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
348: with a segmentation error;
349: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
350: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
351: signals;
352: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
353: matrix.
354: * Thu Jun 24 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.16 (RPL/2)
355: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. With this patch, same program
356: returns same result with or without -p flag;

358: - openssl is upgraded to 1.0.0a;
359: - interrupt stacks are now FIFO instead of LIFO;
360: - debug memory allocation subroutines are improved to run in multithreaded
361: programs;
362: - some memory leaks are fixed in process management (SPAWN and DETACH);
363: - version verification is added to shared objects;
364: - -D_GNU_SOURCE is added to ptmalloc3 makefile to avoid a major bug on 64 bits
365: linux (false mremap() prototype);
366: - major bug is fixed in rpliconv. getc() returns an int, not a unsigned char.
367: * Sun May 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.15 (RPL/2)
368: - all '-' are replaced by '_' in random generator list;

372: format in FCH (file descriptor) and SCK (socket descriptor);
373: - debug routines are improved;
374: - PROCID is added;
375: - MEMLOCK and MEMUNLOCK are added. MEMLOCK forces a process to remain in memory
376: and to not use swap;
377: - major bug is fixed in sql support. SQL connections were closed in all chield
378: process;
379: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
380: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that
381: are first fit class allocators. Solaris libmtmalloc works better and is
382: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3

458: - RPL/2 tools (rpliconv, rplfile, rplpp and rplconvert) are now checked before
459: each execution (md5 and sha1 sums) to enhance security. If one of these tools
460: have been modified between RPL/2 compilation and current execution, RPL/2 aborts
461: on a non recoverable system error;
462: - openssl and sqlite3 libraries are added;
463: - RPL_HOME env variable is added. When RPL/2 is called from librpl, this
464: variable indicates RPL/2 root directory. If it is not set, root path

500: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
501: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
502: old pid by new one;
503: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
504: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
505: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with

512: script file contains a multibyte character;
513: - IN intrinsic is added;
514: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
515: returned false ;
516: - major bug is fixed in RETURN intrinsic. It only occurs in compiled
517: programs;
518: - major bug is fixed in NEG intrinsic. NEG did not make a copy of its arguments;
519: - regression is fixed in compilation(). "\\" was analysed as '"' '\' '\"' and

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

537: locales;
538: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
539: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write

553: - pipe() is overwritten by a macro to avoid a system error. Communication
554: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
555: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
556: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
557: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
558: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
559: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
560: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope

572: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
573: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
574: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
575: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised

578: process was running retrait_thread());
579: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;

656: SIGFSTP (with a nullified siginfo structure) instead of SIGHUP when control
657: process is killed;
658: - abs() macro is modified to avoid multiple evaluation. Your C compiler has to
659: know typeof() intrinsic function. This function is not standard but exists

724: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
725: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
726: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
727: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
728: main process to abort;
729: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
730: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process

883: 40% faster;
884: - read and write operations in pipe() are rewritten to be sure that such
885: operations are atomic;
886: - minor bug is fixed in LOGSCALE. With {} LOGSCALE, all scales have to be

1082: or purge actions. New PARAMETER and VARIABLE intrinsics are modified
1083: versions of PROTECT and UNPROTECT that only deal with global variables
1084: (see RCL/SAVE);
1085: - variable management routines have been rewritten. The new ones are
1086: uncompatible with the old ones. Before these changes, a local variable
1087: was exported to a child subroutine, but cannot be modified into this
1088: child subroutine. Now, a local variable is accessible only in its subroutine;

1520: - INCR and DECR are written (with integer or variable argument);
1521: - CSWP and RSWP are added and tested;
1522: - a minor bug is fixed in analyse.c;
1523: - DEBIAN/control is added to build debian package;

1526: * Sun Apr 13 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6g (RPL/2)
1527: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
1528: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1529: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1530: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1531: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1532: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1533: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1534: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1535: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1536: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1537: same than AXES:
1538: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1539: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1540: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1541: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1542: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1543: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1544: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1545: screen on second scale;
1546: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
1547: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
1548: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
1549: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
1550: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
1551: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
1552: incrementation);
1553: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
1554: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
1555: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
1556: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
1557: the first stack level;
1558: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1559: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
1560: option;
1561: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
1562: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
1563: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
1564: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
1565: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
1566: in 0);
1567: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
1568: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
1569: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
1570: sequencer;
1571: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
1572: of a loop are not integer or real.
1573: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)
1574: - the compilation stage aborts with an error message when two definitions
1575: have the same name. To improve the compilation() subroutine, I have to
1576: add some tests in gestion_variables.c;
1577: - recherche_type() subroutine ad some other connex subroutines are improved.
1578: Now, some syntax errors about object are caught and do not perform sequencer
1579: hangup;

1581: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
1582: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
1583: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
1584: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown
1585: the boxwidth, 1 by default);
1586: - recherche_type() is rewritten to be faster;
1587: - gsl is upgraded (release 1.3);
1588: - ncurses is upgraded and patched (release 5.3);
1589: - recherche_instruction_suivante() is fixed (string research with included
1590: '"') and rewritten to be faster;

1601: - a minor bug is fixed in evaluation subroutine;
1602: - vim syntax file is improved;
1603: - DRAW (wireframe section) is fixed. When an error occurs in the evaluation
1604: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
1605: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
1606: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
1607: - RETURN intrinsic is modified to fix a trouble in interactive mode;
1608: - rplconvert is improved.
