409: * Thu May 09 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.23 (RPL/2)
410: - major bug is fixed in STD format (1E7 sq prints 1);
411: - major bug is fixed in READ intrinsic (socket). This bug was introduced
412: by a new feature in glibc.
413: * Thu Apr 14 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.22 (RPL/2)
414: - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
415: "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
416: - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
417: to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
418: to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
419: - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
420: subroutines;
421: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
422: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
423: - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
424: when X was a vector or a table.
425: * Sun Apr 04 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.21 (RPL/2)

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

474: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
475: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
476: in parent process;
477: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
478: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
479: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
480: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
481: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
482: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
483: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
484: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
485: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
486: (Unix PID);
487: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
488: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;

506: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
507: a name of RPL/2 routine;
508: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
509: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
510: computed address of global variable was wrong;
511: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
512: is forced in front of all libraries.
513: * Tue Jul 13 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.17 (RPL/2)
514: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
515: - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
516: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
517: caught;
518: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
519: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
520: with a segmentation error;
521: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
522: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
523: signals;
524: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
525: matrix.
526: * Thu Jun 24 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.16 (RPL/2)

544: format in FCH (file descriptor) and SCK (socket descriptor);
545: - debug routines are improved;
546: - PROCID is added;
547: - MEMLOCK and MEMUNLOCK are added. MEMLOCK forces a process to remain in memory
548: and to not use swap;
549: - major bug is fixed in sql support. SQL connections were closed in all chield
550: process;
551: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
552: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that
553: are first fit class allocators. Solaris libmtmalloc works better and is
554: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3
555: performance;
556: - major bug is fixed in ROW+ intrinsic (new row was not added where it
557: should);
558: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is
559: caught);
560: - major bug is fixed in STOP intrinsic. STOP was unable to stop any process
561: created by SPAWN;
562: - SIGFABORT is added. When process receives SIGFSTOP, it tries to execute

571: information about shared variable was not copied to new processus structure;
572: - some little memory leaks are fixed in evaluation(), recherche_type() and
573: sequenceur(). They only occured when syntax error were caught;
574: - IMPLICIT causes execution error instead system error;
575: - Hurd support is improved but currently broken because Hurd does not support
576: SIG_INFO. Work in progress;
577: - OpenBSD specific support is removed from sources;
578: - support for Mac OS X and Windows/Cygwin is added.
579: * Wed Apr 07 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.13 (RPL/2)

621: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
622: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are
623: supported;
624: - direct access files support is added. Currenlty, these files can only be used
625: in formatted mode;
626: - virtual variables are now writte in UTF-8 and all special characters
627: in string are escaped;
628: - all formatted files are now converted into UTF-8;
629: - all file and unix socket names created by RPL/2 are now UTF-8 compliant;
630: - RPL/2 tools (rpliconv, rplfile, rplpp and rplconvert) are now checked before
631: each execution (md5 and sha1 sums) to enhance security. If one of these tools
632: have been modified between RPL/2 compilation and current execution, RPL/2 aborts
633: on a non recoverable system error;
634: - openssl and sqlite3 libraries are added;
635: - RPL_HOME env variable is added. When RPL/2 is called from librpl, this
636: variable indicates RPL/2 root directory. If it is not set, root path
637: is given by configure script (d_exec_path);
638: * Thu Mar 03 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.11 (RPL/2)

671: * Fri Jan 08 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.8 (RPL/2)
672: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
673: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
674: old pid by new one;
675: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
676: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
677: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with
678: -p option :

699: - major bug is fixed in OPEN (TCP/IPv4 sockets).
700: * Mon Nov 30 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.7 (RPL/2)
701: - DISP now locks stdout;
702: - rpliconv is added to replace standard iconv provided by operating system.
703: Indeed, conversion between different encodages requires transliteration
704: that is not offered by some iconv utility;
705: - CURRENC and RECODE intrinsics have been written to allow strings conversions;
706: - bug is fixed in SYSEVAL. When execvp() returns (for example when arg[0] can

708: - fprintf is replaced by some functions that allow transliterations between
709: locales;
710: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
711: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write
712: CGI scripts with RPL/2 because locale charset is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968;
713: - double free is fixed in liberation() (type SQL, only occurs when locale is
714: set);
715: - LOCALIZATION, UCASE and LCASE are added;

719: used in onLoading from shared library, USE was pushed on stack as algebraic
720: expression;
721: - libiconv is upgraded to 1.13.1;
722: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.2.6;

725: - pipe() is overwritten by a macro to avoid a system error. Communication
726: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
727: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
728: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
729: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
730: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
731: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
732: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope
733: this bug shall be the last one;
734: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic (determinant was computed without LU
735: diagonalization);

740: - all process management is rewritten to avoid usage of defunct process
741: or thread number;
742: - new major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. Sometimes, when retrait_thread()
743: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
744: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
745: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
746: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
747: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
748: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
749: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
750: process was running retrait_thread());
751: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
752: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because
753: all messages written by signal handlers are sent to stderr;
754: - configure.in script is modified to test gcc version and avoid a bug in

773: - SVL and SVD are added;
774: - COND and RANK are added;
775: - DIAG-> and ->DIAG are added;
776: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic. DET is rewritten to avoid usage of
777: eigenvalues. In a first time, matrix rank is estimated to force determinant

779: compute determinant;
780: - QR matrix decomposition is added;
781: - LQ matrix decomposition is added;
782: - Fortran90 files are rewritten to use Fortran2003 bind(C) statement and

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

795: to be used in signal handlers;
796: - major bug (memory corruption) is fixed in COL- intrinsic;
797: - minor bug is fixed in ALARM and WAIT. These temporisations stopped when a
798: software interrupt was caught;
799: - rplpp man page is added.
800: * Fri Jul 17 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.3 (RPL/2)
801: - minor bug is fixed in WRITE (SIGPIPE is ignored to catch error without
802: process termination);
803: - major bug is fixed in FUSE intrinsic (FUSE kills itself and do not kill
804: its parent);
805: - a mutex to protect fork() syscall is added;

812: - branches prediction is added in THEN, ELSE, ELSEIF and REPEAT intrinsics;
813: - FORTRAN 77 file management subroutines are rewritten in pure C due to
814: FORTRAN string management. C/FORTRAN 77 string interfaces are broken

816: - a memory leak is fixed in REMOVE intrinsic;
817: - major bug is fixed in MySQL driver (segfault due to a bug in mysql_init()
818: and due to a libmysqlclient that is not thread safe).

825: - --enable-profile flag is added to configure script. When this flag is
826: enabled, rpl is built with -pg option;
827: - SIGFSTP (from Solaris'TERMIO) is caught. On Solaris 10, all process receive
828: SIGFSTP (with a nullified siginfo structure) instead of SIGHUP when control
829: process is killed;
830: - abs() macro is modified to avoid multiple evaluation. Your C compiler has to
831: know typeof() intrinsic function. This function is not standard but exists
832: under Sun Studio, gcc, and maybe some others compilers. If this function does
833: not exist on your compiler, you can change its definition by old one in
834: src/rpl.h;
835: - fflush() can now be interrupted by signal (SunOS);
836: - fflush(NULL) is called before all fork() occurrences;

855: is send from an external process;
856: - configure.in is modified to avoid a libc bug on Solaris (free() can enter in
857: deadlock when a huge amount of threads is launched);
858: - minor bug is fixed in boath START and FOR intrinsic. Only occurs when
859: arguments types are unsupported;
860: - PLOT instrinsic is added (usage: LINE and MARK do not draw anything. All

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

895: in three new intrinsics : SQLCONNECT, SQLQUERY and SQLDISCONNECT. Please note
896: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
897: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
898: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
899: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
900: main process to abort;
901: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
902: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
903: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
904: should be added;

1048: without this option !
1049: - new garbage collector (and more efficient) is written;
1050: - configure script is modified to be usable on NetBSD 4.0, but as NetBSD does
1051: not support real time signals, RPL/2 cannot use multitasking functions;
1052: - error returned by preprocessor are now catched by RPL/2;
1053: - -p option is added. With this option, all scripts are compiled before
1054: RPL/2 starts evaluation. HALT cannot be used with -p, but all programs run

1199: - external wrapper (rplplot) is written to force usage of gnuplot provided
1200: by RPL/2 if it is built during build process. If this build does not exist,
1201: it tries to launch regular gnuplot;
1202: - gnuplot is added to source tree to avoid some trouble between preinstalled
1203: gnuplot and release used by RPL/2. This addition to source tree is

1582: fine...);
1583: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
1584: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
1585: with a NOTZ function !
1586: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)

1589: - RPL/2 is tested with efence and valgrind;
1590: - configure.in script is modified;
1591: - units.c is modified to be built by gcc-3.3. I only have removed a #if 0/#endif

1671: - SCLS is added;
1672: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
1673: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the

1675: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
1676: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
1677: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
1678: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
1679: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
1680: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
1681: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
1682: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
1683: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
1684: external names of the known functions;
1685: - mkrplso.in is modified.
1686: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)

1700: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1701: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1702: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1703: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1704: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1705: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1706: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1707: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1708: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1709: same than AXES:
1710: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1711: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1712: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1713: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1714: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1715: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1716: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1717: screen on second scale;
1718: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
1719: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
1720: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
1721: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
1722: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
1723: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
1724: incrementation);
1725: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
1726: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
1727: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
1728: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
1729: the first stack level;
1730: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1731: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
1732: option;
1733: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
1734: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
1735: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
1736: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
1737: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
1738: in 0);
1739: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
1740: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
1741: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
1742: sequencer;
1743: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
1744: of a loop are not integer or real.
1745: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)

1753: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
1754: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
1755: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
1756: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown
1757: the boxwidth, 1 by default);
1758: - recherche_type() is rewritten to be faster;
1759: - gsl is upgraded (release 1.3);
1760: - ncurses is upgraded and patched (release 5.3);
1761: - recherche_instruction_suivante() is fixed (string research with included
1762: '"') and rewritten to be faster;

1776: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
1777: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
1778: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
1779: - RETURN intrinsic is modified to fix a trouble in interactive mode;
1780: - rplconvert is improved.

1862: deleted too!;
1863: - configure script is improved (and it seems to be good ;-) );
1864: - An --disable-experimental flag is added to the configure script. Thus, even
1865: if you compile a beta release, you can compile a stable RPL/2;
1866: - new syntax and ftplugin written for vim 6.0.

1890: i586, i686, K6, K7, alpha ev4, alpha ev5, alpha ev56, alpha ev6, sparc v7,
1891: sparc v8 and sparc v9. Compilation of RPL/2 on my Sun Sparc 2 (sun4c,
1892: CPU 4/75, 64 MB, 40 MHz with FPU) is a very great mission :
1893:
1894: Newton:[~/rpl/rpl] > time make install
1895: ...
1896: real 338m39.623s
1897: user 324m32.290s
1898: sys 10m47.380s
1899: Newton:[~/rpl/rpl] >
1900:
1901: I don't know if you will compile this language on old worstations, but
1902: it is usable ;-) ;
