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

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

360: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
361: in parent process;
362: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
363: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
364: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
365: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
366: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
367: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
368: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
369: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
370: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
371: (Unix PID);
372: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
373: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;

394: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
395: computed address of global variable was wrong;
396: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
397: is forced in front of all libraries.

458: sequenceur(). They only occured when syntax error were caught;
459: - IMPLICIT causes execution error instead system error;
460: - Hurd support is improved but currently broken because Hurd does not support
461: SIG_INFO. Work in progress;
462: - OpenBSD specific support is removed from sources;
463: - support for Mac OS X and Windows/Cygwin is added.

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

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

569: script file contains a multibyte character;
570: - IN intrinsic is added;
571: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME

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

610: - pipe() is overwritten by a macro to avoid a system error. Communication
611: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
612: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
613: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
614: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
615: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
616: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
617: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope
618: this bug shall be the last one;

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

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

931: When configure is called with --disable-encoding-autodetection, make does not
932: try to detect source encoding. Please, do not use if RPL/2 can be built
933: without this option !
934: - new garbage collector (and more efficient) is written;
935: - configure script is modified to be usable on NetBSD 4.0, but as NetBSD does
936: not support real time signals, RPL/2 cannot use multitasking functions;

1083: - HELP function is rewritten to be more friendly (a la OpenVMS);
1084: - external wrapper (rplplot) is written to force usage of gnuplot provided
1085: by RPL/2 if it is built during build process. If this build does not exist,
1086: it tries to launch regular gnuplot;
1087: - gnuplot is added to source tree to avoid some trouble between preinstalled
1088: gnuplot and release used by RPL/2. This addition to source tree is
1089: required by some incompatibility between gnuplot releases;

1095: not writable;
1096: - major regression is fixed in SYSEVAL intrinsic due to introduction of
1097: error scrutation.

1132: - configure.in script is added in lapack subtree;
1133: - VARS is modified to display variables status (LOCKED/UNLOCKED and
1134: STATIC/VOLATILE/PARAMETER/VARIABLE);
1135: - STATIC and VOLATILE intrinsics are added to specify static variables. A
1136: static variable can be transformed into volatile with VOLATILE.
1137: With STATIC, next variables created by '->' are static;
1138: - PROTECT and UNPROTECT are added to protect variables against write
1139: or purge actions. New PARAMETER and VARIABLE intrinsics are modified
1140: versions of PROTECT and UNPROTECT that only deal with global variables
1141: (see RCL/SAVE);
1142: - variable management routines have been rewritten. The new ones are
1143: uncompatible with the old ones. Before these changes, a local variable
1144: was exported to a child subroutine, but cannot be modified into this
1145: child subroutine. Now, a local variable is accessible only in its subroutine;
1146: - SAVE intrinsic is added to manipulate global variables;
1147: - SUSPEND is written. RPL/2 waits for a SIGCONT signal;
1148: - SORT, COL->, ->COL, ROW->, ROW-> intrinsics are written;

1156: that avoid a complete build;
1157: - CTRL+Z and CTRL+C signals only perform actions on main process;
1158: - major bugs are fixed in multitasking capabilities (some mistakes with
1159: mutexes and several terminated child process cannot be closed by the
1160: operating system);

1523: * Sun Jun 1 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6k (RPL/2)
1524: - SLICESCALE intrinsic is added. Its syntax is
1525: { "automatic" nb_of_levels }
1526: { "discrete" l1 l2 l3 ... }
1527: { "incremental" start incr }
1528: { "incremental" start incr end }
1529: { "automatic" } (default);
1530: - a minor bug (in last stack) is fixed in AXES intrinsic
1531: - flag 52 is used to automatically update graphics;
1532: - man pages are updated;
1533: - evaluation() is modified to perform evaluation of expressions that contain
1534: '=';
1535: - a minor bug is fixed in AXES intrinsic;
1536: - a minor bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic (2D and 3D graphics were able to
1537: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
1538: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
1539: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)
1540: - SLICE intrinsic is added. It is used to draw 3D graphics as contour lines;
1541: - PLOTTER is added to draw statistical clouds with lines;
1542: - C and H source files now include vim parameters;
1543: - vim syntax file is modified to include new intrinsics;
1544: - static archive is modified to include all required libraries needed by

1546: * Sun May 4 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6i (RPL/2)
1547: - '=' is added and tested;
1548: - XCOL and YCOL are added;
1549: - a minor bug in analyse_syntaxique() is fixed;
1550: - THEN is modified to return an error when ELSE appears in a CASE/THEN/END
1551: structure. ELSE is modified to return an error when ELSE appears in
1552: an ELSE/END structure;
1553: - a major bug is fixed in CYCLE;
1554: - EXIT is written. When EXIT appears in a defined loop (FOR or START), the
1555: sequencer continues after the end of this loop;
1556: - SCLS is added;
1557: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
1558: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
1559: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
1560: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
1561: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
1562: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
1563: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
1564: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
1565: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
1566: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
1567: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
1568: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
1569: external names of the known functions;
1570: - mkrplso.in is modified.
1571: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
1572: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1573: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();
1574: - some minor memory leaks are fixed in recherche_type() function. They only
1575: occurs when a syntax error is detected;
1576: - #error and #warning preprocessor macros are added;
1577: - INCR and DECR are written (with integer or variable argument);
1578: - CSWP and RSWP are added and tested;
1579: - a minor bug is fixed in analyse.c;
1580: - DEBIAN/control is added to build debian package;
1581: - SCALE is fixed and improved ("automatic" keyword);
1582: - PUTC and PUTR new intrinsics are added.
1583: * Sun Apr 13 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6g (RPL/2)
1584: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
1585: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1586: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1587: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1588: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1589: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1590: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1591: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1592: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1593: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1594: same than AXES:
1595: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1596: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1597: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1598: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1599: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1600: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1601: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1602: screen on second scale;
1603: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
1604: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
1605: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
1606: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
1607: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
1608: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
1609: incrementation);
1610: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
1611: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
1612: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
1613: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
1614: the first stack level;
1615: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1616: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
1617: option;
1618: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
1619: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
1620: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
1621: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
1622: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
1623: in 0);
1624: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
1625: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
1626: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
1627: sequencer;
1628: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
1629: of a loop are not integer or real.
1630: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)
1631: - the compilation stage aborts with an error message when two definitions
1632: have the same name. To improve the compilation() subroutine, I have to
1633: add some tests in gestion_variables.c;

1638: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
1639: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
1640: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
1641: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown
1642: the boxwidth, 1 by default);
1643: - recherche_type() is rewritten to be faster;
1644: - gsl is upgraded (release 1.3);
1645: - ncurses is upgraded and patched (release 5.3);
1646: - recherche_instruction_suivante() is fixed (string research with included
1647: '"') and rewritten to be faster;

1658: - a minor bug is fixed in evaluation subroutine;
1659: - vim syntax file is improved;
1660: - DRAW (wireframe section) is fixed. When an error occurs in the evaluation
1661: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
1662: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
1663: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
1664: - RETURN intrinsic is modified to fix a trouble in interactive mode;
1665: - rplconvert is improved.

1775: i586, i686, K6, K7, alpha ev4, alpha ev5, alpha ev56, alpha ev6, sparc v7,
1776: sparc v8 and sparc v9. Compilation of RPL/2 on my Sun Sparc 2 (sun4c,
1777: CPU 4/75, 64 MB, 40 MHz with FPU) is a very great mission :
1778:
1779: Newton:[~/rpl/rpl] > time make install
