   76: - new NATIVE*(*) data format is added. By default, native*(*) is used
   77: to write data without precision loss. It can also be used to write
   78: complex objects like expressions, lists or tables;
   79: - major bug is fixed in formateur(). When INT64_MIN was pushed into stack,
   80: internal value was good but RPL/2 was not able to correctly display
   81: this value. This bug comes from ABS as ABS(INT64_MIN) cannot be represented

  195: - major bug is fixed in ** (integer integer **) when first argument is equal to
  196: -1;
  197: - major bug is fixed in signal management. With new signal management, thread or

  207: Number of scalar operations per second and per core : 3809121.83444626
  208: schroedinger:[~/cvs/bench] > 
  209: - recherche_type() did not convert huge integer in real. Now,
  210: 18446744072742037448 is converted into real as value cannot be stored in
  211: RPL/2 integer type;
  212: - WFSOCK is modified to handle unconnected sockets;
  213: - REGEX is added;
  214: - RESTART is added (execvp() on main RPL/2 process);
  215: - copie_objet() now returns same MTX (struct_mutex) even if caller wait for
  216: a real copy. Now, struct_mutex contains locks owner. On Linux or Solaris (for
  217: example), it is possible to lock mutex from a thread and unlock the same mutex
  218: from another thread. On NetBSD, system crashes.
  219: * Mon Nov 21 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.1.4 (RPL/2)

  294: by a new feature in glibc.
  295: * Thu Apr 14 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.22 (RPL/2)
  296: - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
  297: "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
  298: - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
  299: to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
  300: to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
  301: - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
  302: subroutines;
  303: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
  304: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
  305: - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
  306: when X was a vector or a table.
  307: * Sun Apr 04 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.21 (RPL/2)

  319: - Ncurses is upgraded to 5.8;
  320: - ALARM is fixed by filling isdst field;
  321: - catch ECONNRESET in write intrinsic to return an execution error instead of
  322: system one;
  323: - fix a typo in HELP intrinsic;
  324: - Openssl is upgraded to 1.0.0d, sqlite to 3.7.5 and readline to 6.2;
  325: - Lapack is upgraded to 3.3.0;

  336: * Thu Sep 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.19 (RPL/2)
  337: - due to a very strange bug I've only seen on Solaris, ptmalloc3 is removed.
  338: Solaris libresolv randomly uses ptmalloc3 and system allocator and makes heap
  339: corruption. As internal memory management have been improved, a best fit
  340: allocator like ptmalloc3 is not required anymore;
  341: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.1;
  342: - deadlock is fixed in signal handlers: same mutex was used in standard
  343: subroutines (without protected sections by sigprocmask() or pthread_sigmask())
  344: and signal handlers. A new signal handler specific mutex is added;
  345: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. In { X 0 PI }, PI is a function
  346: that has to be evaluated by ->NUM;
  347: - rplfile build process is modify to be sure that rplfile is not modified
  348: after rpl build stage (to be sure that rplfile checksum is not modified after

  351: modified to remove yacc code and renamed;
  352: - some workarounds have been written to not use buggy klibc SystemV IPCS.
  353: ABORT now works on eComStation;
  354: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.2;
  355: - bug is fixed in software interrupts. When both process have different PID,
  356: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
  357: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
  358: in parent process;
  359: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
  360: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
  361: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
  362: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
  363: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
  364: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
  365: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
  366: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
  367: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
  368: (Unix PID);
  369: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;

  388: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
  389: a name of RPL/2 routine;
  390: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
  391: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
  392: computed address of global variable was wrong;
  393: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
  394: is forced in front of all libraries.
  395: * Tue Jul 13 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.17 (RPL/2)
  396: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;

  398: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
  399: caught;
  400: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
  401: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
  402: with a segmentation error;
  403: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
  404: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
  405: signals;
  406: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
  407: matrix.
  408: * Thu Jun 24 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.16 (RPL/2)
  409: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. With this patch, same program

  429: - MEMLOCK and MEMUNLOCK are added. MEMLOCK forces a process to remain in memory
  430: and to not use swap;
  431: - major bug is fixed in sql support. SQL connections were closed in all chield
  432: process;
  433: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
  434: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that
  435: are first fit class allocators. Solaris libmtmalloc works better and is
  436: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3
  437: performance;
  438: - major bug is fixed in ROW+ intrinsic (new row was not added where it
  439: should);
  440: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is
  441: caught);
  442: - major bug is fixed in STOP intrinsic. STOP was unable to stop any process
  443: created by SPAWN;
  444: - SIGFABORT is added. When process receives SIGFSTOP, it tries to execute
  445: ATEXIT. If it receives SIGFABORT, it does not;
  446: - ONEXIT is renamed in ATEXIT;
  447: - ONEXIT new intrinsic is added.
  448: * Wed Apr 21 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.14 (RPL/2)

  450: This bug only occurs when RPL/2 tries to create a shared or static variable
  451: from an expression;
  452: - major bug is fixed in copie_etat_processus(). A field that contains
  453: information about shared variable was not copied to new processus structure;
  454: - some little memory leaks are fixed in evaluation(), recherche_type() and
  455: sequenceur(). They only occured when syntax error were caught;
  456: - IMPLICIT causes execution error instead system error;
  457: - Hurd support is improved but currently broken because Hurd does not support
  458: SIG_INFO. Work in progress;
  459: - OpenBSD specific support is removed from sources;
  460: - support for Mac OS X and Windows/Cygwin is added.
  461: * Wed Apr 07 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.13 (RPL/2)

  500: * Tue Mar 09 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.12 (RPL/2)
  501: - in formatted file, string format returned a variable length string even if
  502: format was 'CHARACTER*(n)' (n characters string). Now, 'CHARACTER*(*)' returns
  503: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
  504: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are
  505: supported;
  506: - direct access files support is added. Currenlty, these files can only be used

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

  553: * Fri Jan 08 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.8 (RPL/2)
  554: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
  555: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
  556: old pid by new one;
  557: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
  558: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
  559: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with
  560: -p option :
  561:     TEST << iferr TEST2 then end >>
  562:     TEST2 << 0 inv >>
  563: - major bug is fixed in variable management. Some local variables were
  564: seen as global ones;

  566: script file contains a multibyte character;
  567: - IN intrinsic is added;
  568: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
  569: returned false ;
  570: - major bug is fixed in RETURN intrinsic. It only occurs in compiled
  571: programs;
  572: - major bug is fixed in NEG intrinsic. NEG did not make a copy of its arguments;
  573: - regression is fixed in compilation(). "\\" was analysed as '"' '\' '\"' and

  580: encountered at end of block, subroutine aborts with an execution error;
  581: - major bug is fixed in OPEN (TCP/IPv4 sockets).
  582: * Mon Nov 30 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.7 (RPL/2)
  583: - DISP now locks stdout;
  584: - rpliconv is added to replace standard iconv provided by operating system.
  585: Indeed, conversion between different encodages requires transliteration
  586: that is not offered by some iconv utility;
  587: - CURRENC and RECODE intrinsics have been written to allow strings conversions;
  588: - bug is fixed in SYSEVAL. When execvp() returns (for example when arg[0] can

  590: - fprintf is replaced by some functions that allow transliterations between
  591: locales;
  592: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
  593: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write
  594: CGI scripts with RPL/2 because locale charset is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968;
  595: - double free is fixed in liberation() (type SQL, only occurs when locale is
  596: set);
  597: - LOCALIZATION, UCASE and LCASE are added;
  598: - major bug is fixed in EXIT intrinsic that was able to return a false
  599: execution error in compiled scripts (only in DO/UNTIL and REPEAT/WHILE loops);
  600: - major bug is fixed in wrapper_instruction_intrinseque(). When intrinsic() was
  601: used in onLoading from shared library, USE was pushed on stack as algebraic
  602: expression;
  603: - libiconv is upgraded to 1.13.1;
  604: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.2.6;
  605: - gsl is upgraded to 1.13.

  607: - pipe() is overwritten by a macro to avoid a system error. Communication
  608: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
  609: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
  610: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
  611: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
  612: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
  613: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
  614: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope
  615: this bug shall be the last one;
  616: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic (determinant was computed without LU
  617: diagonalization);

  622: - all process management is rewritten to avoid usage of defunct process
  623: or thread number;
  624: - new major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. Sometimes, when retrait_thread()
  625: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
  626: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
  627: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
  628: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
  629: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
  630: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
  631: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
  632: process was running retrait_thread());
  633: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
  634: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because
  635: all messages written by signal handlers are sent to stderr;

  740: - minor bug is fixed in boath START and FOR intrinsic. Only occurs when
  741: arguments types are unsupported;
  742: - PLOT instrinsic is added (usage: LINE and MARK do not draw anything. All

  760: to a file, stdin is redirected to /dev/null when control process is killed;
  761: - a mutex is added to each object (before this modification,
  762: RPL/2 used a global mutex and performances in multithreaded programs were very
  763: poor.);

  779: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
  780: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
  781: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
  782: main process to abort;
  783: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
  784: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
  785: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
  786: should be added;
  787: - -D flag and DAEMONIZE intrinsic have been added;
  788: - REPEAT, THEN, ELSE and ELSEIF intrinsics are rewritten to be more efficient;

 1080: - HELP function is rewritten to be more friendly (a la OpenVMS);
 1081: - external wrapper (rplplot) is written to force usage of gnuplot provided
 1082: by RPL/2 if it is built during build process. If this build does not exist,
 1083: it tries to launch regular gnuplot;
 1084: - gnuplot is added to source tree to avoid some trouble between preinstalled
 1085: gnuplot and release used by RPL/2. This addition to source tree is
 1086: required by some incompatibility between gnuplot releases;

 1462: - rplpp is modified to workaround a mistake in 'which' function (seems to appear
 1463: on Debian distribution, but since cpp is in the default path, RPL/2 works
 1464: fine...);
 1465: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
 1466: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
 1467: with a NOTZ function !
 1468: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)
 1469: - CYCLE is fixed. Now, it is possible to use CYCLE in an expression even
 1470: if the main loop is in a program;
 1471: - RPL/2 is tested with efence and valgrind;
 1472: - configure.in script is modified;
 1473: - units.c is modified to be built by gcc-3.3. I only have removed a #if 0/#endif
 1474: structure. I don't know why this code was compiled by gcc-3.3... Maybe
 1475: another gcc bug...
 1476: * Fri Jul 25 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7b (RPL/2)
 1477: - EXIT is fixed. Now, it is possible to use EXIT in an expression when the
 1478: main loop is in a program;

 1505: - major bug is fixed in C->R intrinsic;
 1506: - ROW+ and ROW- are added and tested;
 1507: - COL+ and COL- are added and tested. Syntax:

 1509: 2: integer (number of column to be inserted)
 1510: 1: column matrix to be inserted;
 1511: - major bug was discovered in interface_gnuplot(). It only occurs when

 1520: * Sun Jun 1 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6k (RPL/2)
 1521: - SLICESCALE intrinsic is added. Its syntax is
 1522: { "automatic" nb_of_levels }
 1523: { "discrete" l1 l2 l3 ... }
 1524: { "incremental" start incr }
 1525: { "incremental" start incr end }
 1526: { "automatic" } (default);
 1527: - a minor bug (in last stack) is fixed in AXES intrinsic
 1528: - flag 52 is used to automatically update graphics;
 1529: - man pages are updated;
 1530: - evaluation() is modified to perform evaluation of expressions that contain
 1531: '=';
 1532: - a minor bug is fixed in AXES intrinsic;
 1533: - a minor bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic (2D and 3D graphics were able to
 1534: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
 1535: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
 1536: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)
 1537: - SLICE intrinsic is added. It is used to draw 3D graphics as contour lines;

 1553: - SCLS is added;
 1554: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
 1555: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
 1556: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
 1557: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
 1558: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
 1559: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
 1560: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
 1561: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
 1562: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
 1563: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
 1564: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
 1565: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
 1566: external names of the known functions;
 1567: - mkrplso.in is modified.
 1568: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
 1569: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
 1570: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();
 1571: - some minor memory leaks are fixed in recherche_type() function. They only
 1572: occurs when a syntax error is detected;

 1574: - INCR and DECR are written (with integer or variable argument);
 1575: - CSWP and RSWP are added and tested;
 1576: - a minor bug is fixed in analyse.c;
 1577: - DEBIAN/control is added to build debian package;

 1579: - PUTC and PUTR new intrinsics are added.
 1580: * Sun Apr 13 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6g (RPL/2)
 1581: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
 1582: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
 1583: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
 1584: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
 1585: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
 1586: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
 1587: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
 1588: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
 1589: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
 1590: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
 1591: same than AXES:
 1592: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
 1593: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
 1594: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
 1595: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
 1596: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
 1597: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
 1598: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
 1599: screen on second scale;
 1600: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
 1601: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
 1602: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
 1603: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
 1604: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
 1605: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
 1606: incrementation);
 1607: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
 1608: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
 1609: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
 1610: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
 1611: the first stack level;
 1612: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
 1613: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
 1614: option;
 1615: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
 1616: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
 1617: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
 1618: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
 1619: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
 1620: in 0);
 1621: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
 1622: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
 1623: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
 1624: sequencer;
 1625: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
 1626: of a loop are not integer or real.
 1627: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)
 1628: - the compilation stage aborts with an error message when two definitions
 1629: have the same name. To improve the compilation() subroutine, I have to
 1630: add some tests in gestion_variables.c;
 1631: - recherche_type() subroutine ad some other connex subroutines are improved.
 1632: Now, some syntax errors about object are caught and do not perform sequencer
 1633: hangup;

 1635: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
 1636: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
 1637: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
 1638: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown
 1639: the boxwidth, 1 by default);
 1640: - recherche_type() is rewritten to be faster;
 1641: - gsl is upgraded (release 1.3);
 1642: - ncurses is upgraded and patched (release 5.3);
 1643: - recherche_instruction_suivante() is fixed (string research with included
 1644: '"') and rewritten to be faster;
 1645: - appel_gnuplot() is fixed. When no graphic was available, it returned a
 1646: segfault.
 1647: * Sun Mar 9 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6c (RPL/2)

 1655: - a minor bug is fixed in evaluation subroutine;
 1656: - vim syntax file is improved;
 1657: - DRAW (wireframe section) is fixed. When an error occurs in the evaluation
 1658: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
 1659: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
 1660: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
 1661: - RETURN intrinsic is modified to fix a trouble in interactive mode;
 1662: - rplconvert is improved.
 1663: * Sun Dec 22 2002 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6a (RPL/2)

 1679: Now, an expression such as 'A+' returns an error when it is analyzed;
 1680: - VISIT intrinsic is added;
 1681: - a major memory leak is fixed in evaluation.c. This bug rarely occurs in
 1682: normal mode.

 1770: - Makefile is improved to support sparc v7 (sun4c), sparc v8 (sun4m) and
 1771: sparc v9 (sun4u). Now, RPL/2 can be built on i386 (i486 is known as i386),
 1772: i586, i686, K6, K7, alpha ev4, alpha ev5, alpha ev56, alpha ev6, sparc v7,
 1773: sparc v8 and sparc v9. Compilation of RPL/2 on my Sun Sparc 2 (sun4c,
 1774: CPU 4/75, 64 MB, 40 MHz with FPU) is a very great mission :
 1775: 
 1776: Newton:[~/rpl/rpl] > time make install
 1777: ...
 1778: real    338m39.623s
 1779: user    324m32.290s
 1780: sys     10m47.380s
 1781: Newton:[~/rpl/rpl] >
 1782: 
 1783: I don't know if you will compile this language on old worstations, but
 1784: it is usable ;-) ;
 1785: - SYSEVAL is improved. An external program can be called without any shell.
 1786: Thus, even if the sticky bit is set, RPL/2 can not give a shell root when
