  383: * Thu May 09 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.23 (RPL/2)
  384: - major bug is fixed in STD format (1E7 sq prints 1);
  385: - major bug is fixed in READ intrinsic (socket). This bug was introduced
  386: by a new feature in glibc.
  387: * Thu Apr 14 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.22 (RPL/2)
  388: - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
  389: "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
  390: - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
  391: to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
  392: to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
  393: - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
  394: subroutines;
  395: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
  396: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
  397: - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
  398: when X was a vector or a table.
  399: * Sun Apr 04 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.21 (RPL/2)

  428: * Thu Sep 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.19 (RPL/2)
  429: - due to a very strange bug I've only seen on Solaris, ptmalloc3 is removed.
  430: Solaris libresolv randomly uses ptmalloc3 and system allocator and makes heap
  431: corruption. As internal memory management have been improved, a best fit
  432: allocator like ptmalloc3 is not required anymore;
  433: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.1;
  434: - deadlock is fixed in signal handlers: same mutex was used in standard
  435: subroutines (without protected sections by sigprocmask() or pthread_sigmask())
  436: and signal handlers. A new signal handler specific mutex is added;
  437: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. In { X 0 PI }, PI is a function
  438: that has to be evaluated by ->NUM;
  439: - rplfile build process is modify to be sure that rplfile is not modified
  440: after rpl build stage (to be sure that rplfile checksum is not modified after
  441: rpl compilation);
  442: - AWK is replaced by rplawk. rplawk is original awk written by Brian Kernighan,
  443: modified to remove yacc code and renamed;

  445: ABORT now works on eComStation;
  446: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.2;
  447: - bug is fixed in software interrupts. When both process have different PID,
  448: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
  449: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
  450: in parent process;
  451: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
  452: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
  453: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
  454: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
  455: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
  456: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
  457: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
  458: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
  459: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
  460: (Unix PID);
  461: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
  462: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;
  463: - SWI now sends SIGCONT to interrupted process to start interrupt without delay;

  471: - OS/2 (eComStation 2.0 with EMX 0.9d) support is added;
  472: - TOKENIZE is now able to convert escape sequences;
  473: - ATPOKE and CLRATPOKE new intrinsics are added;

  475: postgresql libraries are statically linked in rpl executable;
  476: - units Makefile is modified to avoid readline and ncurses usages;
  477: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.0.1;
  478: - units is upgraded to 1.88;
  479: - another major bug is fixed in the same variable creation subroutine.
  480: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
  481: a name of RPL/2 routine;
  482: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
  483: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
  484: computed address of global variable was wrong;
  485: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
  486: is forced in front of all libraries.
  487: * Tue Jul 13 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.17 (RPL/2)
  488: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
  489: - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
  490: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
  491: caught;
  492: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
  493: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
  494: with a segmentation error;
  495: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
  496: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
  497: signals;
  498: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
  499: matrix.
  500: * Thu Jun 24 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.16 (RPL/2)
  501: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. With this patch, same program

  509: - version verification is added to shared objects;
  510: - -D_GNU_SOURCE is added to ptmalloc3 makefile to avoid a major bug on 64 bits
  511: linux (false mremap() prototype);
  512: - major bug is fixed in rpliconv. getc() returns an int, not a unsigned char.
  513: * Sun May 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.15 (RPL/2)
  514: - all '-' are replaced by '_' in random generator list;
  515: - minor memory leak is fixed in OPEN intrinsic (socket);
  516: - major bug is fixed in IFERR structure. Only occurs in compiled program;
  517: - major bug is fixed in copie_objet() and liberation(). Only concerns
  518: format in FCH (file descriptor) and SCK (socket descriptor);
  519: - debug routines are improved;
  520: - PROCID is added;
  521: - MEMLOCK and MEMUNLOCK are added. MEMLOCK forces a process to remain in memory
  522: and to not use swap;
  523: - major bug is fixed in sql support. SQL connections were closed in all chield
  524: process;
  525: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
  526: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that
  527: are first fit class allocators. Solaris libmtmalloc works better and is
  528: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3
  529: performance;
  530: - major bug is fixed in ROW+ intrinsic (new row was not added where it
  531: should);
  532: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is
  533: caught);
  534: - major bug is fixed in STOP intrinsic. STOP was unable to stop any process
  535: created by SPAWN;
  536: - SIGFABORT is added. When process receives SIGFSTOP, it tries to execute
  537: ATEXIT. If it receives SIGFABORT, it does not;
  538: - ONEXIT is renamed in ATEXIT;
  539: - ONEXIT new intrinsic is added.
  540: * Wed Apr 21 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.14 (RPL/2)

  542: This bug only occurs when RPL/2 tries to create a shared or static variable
  543: from an expression;
  544: - major bug is fixed in copie_etat_processus(). A field that contains
  545: information about shared variable was not copied to new processus structure;
  546: - some little memory leaks are fixed in evaluation(), recherche_type() and
  547: sequenceur(). They only occured when syntax error were caught;
  548: - IMPLICIT causes execution error instead system error;
  549: - Hurd support is improved but currently broken because Hurd does not support
  550: SIG_INFO. Work in progress;
  551: - OpenBSD specific support is removed from sources;
  552: - support for Mac OS X and Windows/Cygwin is added.

  593: - in formatted file, string format returned a variable length string even if
  594: format was 'CHARACTER*(n)' (n characters string). Now, 'CHARACTER*(*)' returns
  595: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
  596: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are
  597: supported;

  605: each execution (md5 and sha1 sums) to enhance security. If one of these tools
  606: have been modified between RPL/2 compilation and current execution, RPL/2 aborts
  607: on a non recoverable system error;
  608: - openssl and sqlite3 libraries are added;

  646: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
  647: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
  648: old pid by new one;
  649: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression

  677: Indeed, conversion between different encodages requires transliteration
  678: that is not offered by some iconv utility;
  679: - CURRENC and RECODE intrinsics have been written to allow strings conversions;
  680: - bug is fixed in SYSEVAL. When execvp() returns (for example when arg[0] can

  683: locales;
  684: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
  685: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write
  686: CGI scripts with RPL/2 because locale charset is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968;
  687: - double free is fixed in liberation() (type SQL, only occurs when locale is
  688: set);
  689: - LOCALIZATION, UCASE and LCASE are added;

  700: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
  701: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
  702: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
  703: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
  704: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
  705: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
  706: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope
  707: this bug shall be the last one;
  708: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic (determinant was computed without LU
  709: diagonalization);

  719: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
  720: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
  721: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised

  724: process was running retrait_thread());
  725: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
  726: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because

  762: - minor bug is fixed in both CSTOP and RSTOP intrinsics. Without this fix, you
  763: can call twice CSTOP without RSTOP;
  764: - named semaphore support is added (CRSMPHR, CLRSMPHR, SMHRDECR, SMPHRINCR,
  765: SMPHRTRYDECR, SMPHGETV).

  775: - minor bug is fixed in WRITE (SIGPIPE is ignored to catch error without
  776: process termination);
  777: - major bug is fixed in FUSE intrinsic (FUSE kills itself and do not kill
  778: its parent);
  779: - a mutex to protect fork() syscall is added;
  780: - all mutexes are unlocked after fork() in DETACH;
  781: - minor bug (double free corruption) is fixed in CLOSE intrinsic;

  802: SIGFSTP (with a nullified siginfo structure) instead of SIGHUP when control
  803: process is killed;
  804: - abs() macro is modified to avoid multiple evaluation. Your C compiler has to
  805: know typeof() intrinsic function. This function is not standard but exists
  806: under Sun Studio, gcc, and maybe some others compilers. If this function does
  807: not exist on your compiler, you can change its definition by old one in
  808: src/rpl.h;

  831: deadlock when a huge amount of threads is launched);
  832: - minor bug is fixed in boath START and FOR intrinsic. Only occurs when
  833: arguments types are unsupported;

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

  870: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
  871: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
  872: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
  873: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
  874: main process to abort;
  875: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
  876: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
  877: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
  878: should be added;
  879: - -D flag and DAEMONIZE intrinsic have been added;
  880: - REPEAT, THEN, ELSE and ELSEIF intrinsics are rewritten to be more efficient;

  967: workaround for this major bug. Nevertheless, all others capabilities seems to
  968: work fine;
  969: - '->' is modified to return error when program tries to initialiaze two

 1060: than 1E6;
 1061: - numeric and character formats are now tested;
 1062: - -A flag is added. -A is used to give command line parameters to main
 1063: routine. Example:

 1172: - HELP function is rewritten to be more friendly (a la OpenVMS);
 1173: - external wrapper (rplplot) is written to force usage of gnuplot provided
 1174: by RPL/2 if it is built during build process. If this build does not exist,
 1175: it tries to launch regular gnuplot;
 1176: - gnuplot is added to source tree to avoid some trouble between preinstalled
 1177: gnuplot and release used by RPL/2. This addition to source tree is

 1556: fine...);
 1557: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
 1558: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
 1559: with a NOTZ function !
 1560: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)

 1563: - RPL/2 is tested with efence and valgrind;
 1564: - configure.in script is modified;
 1565: - units.c is modified to be built by gcc-3.3. I only have removed a #if 0/#endif

 1626: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
 1627: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
 1628: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)

 1645: - SCLS is added;
 1646: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
 1647: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
 1648: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
 1649: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
 1650: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
 1651: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
 1652: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
 1653: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
 1654: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
 1655: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
 1656: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
 1657: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
 1658: external names of the known functions;
 1659: - mkrplso.in is modified.
 1660: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
 1661: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
 1662: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();

 1673: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
 1674: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
 1675: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
 1676: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
 1677: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
 1678: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
 1679: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
 1680: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
 1681: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
 1682: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
 1683: same than AXES:
 1684: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
 1685: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
 1686: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
 1687: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
 1688: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
 1689: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
 1690: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
 1691: screen on second scale;
 1692: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
 1693: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
 1694: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
 1695: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
 1696: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
 1697: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
 1698: incrementation);
 1699: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
 1700: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
 1701: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
 1702: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
 1703: the first stack level;
 1704: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
 1705: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
 1706: option;
 1707: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
 1708: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
 1709: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
 1710: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
 1711: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
 1712: in 0);
 1713: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
 1714: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
 1715: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
 1716: sequencer;
 1717: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
 1718: of a loop are not integer or real.
 1719: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)
 1720: - the compilation stage aborts with an error message when two definitions
 1721: have the same name. To improve the compilation() subroutine, I have to
 1722: add some tests in gestion_variables.c;
 1723: - recherche_type() subroutine ad some other connex subroutines are improved.
 1724: Now, some syntax errors about object are caught and do not perform sequencer
 1725: hangup;
 1726: - readline is upgraded (minor compilation bug with recent gcc);
 1727: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
 1728: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
 1729: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
 1730: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown
 1731: the boxwidth, 1 by default);
 1732: - recherche_type() is rewritten to be faster;
 1733: - gsl is upgraded (release 1.3);
 1734: - ncurses is upgraded and patched (release 5.3);
 1735: - recherche_instruction_suivante() is fixed (string research with included
 1736: '"') and rewritten to be faster;

 1747: - a minor bug is fixed in evaluation subroutine;
 1748: - vim syntax file is improved;
 1749: - DRAW (wireframe section) is fixed. When an error occurs in the evaluation
 1750: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
 1751: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
 1752: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
 1753: - RETURN intrinsic is modified to fix a trouble in interactive mode;
 1754: - rplconvert is improved.

 1772: - VISIT intrinsic is added;
 1773: - a major memory leak is fixed in evaluation.c. This bug rarely occurs in
 1774: normal mode.

 1836: deleted too!;
 1837: - configure script is improved (and it seems to be good ;-) );
 1838: - An --disable-experimental flag is added to the configure script. Thus, even

 1853: that the RPL/2 seqencer must stop and must give a prompt. This
 1854: signal is an asynchonous "HALT" command;
 1855: - SIGINT (CTRL+C) variables stack corruption is fixed;
 1856: - IFERR seems to be fixed (in equation evaluation routine);
 1857: - Memory leak is fixed (ADR object type);

 1864: i586, i686, K6, K7, alpha ev4, alpha ev5, alpha ev56, alpha ev6, sparc v7,
 1865: sparc v8 and sparc v9. Compilation of RPL/2 on my Sun Sparc 2 (sun4c,
 1866: CPU 4/75, 64 MB, 40 MHz with FPU) is a very great mission :
 1867: 
 1868: Newton:[~/rpl/rpl] > time make install
 1869: ...
 1870: real    338m39.623s
 1871: user    324m32.290s

 1873: Newton:[~/rpl/rpl] >
 1874: 
 1875: I don't know if you will compile this language on old worstations, but
 1876: it is usable ;-) ;
 1877: - SYSEVAL is improved. An external program can be called without any shell.
