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

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

  472: ABORT now works on eComStation;
  473: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.2;
  474: - bug is fixed in software interrupts. When both process have different PID,
  475: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
  476: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
  477: in parent process;
  478: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
  479: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
  480: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
  481: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
  482: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
  483: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
  484: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
  485: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
  486: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
  487: (Unix PID);
  488: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;

  504: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.0.1;
  505: - units is upgraded to 1.88;
  506: - another major bug is fixed in the same variable creation subroutine.
  507: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
  508: a name of RPL/2 routine;
  509: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
  510: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
  511: computed address of global variable was wrong;
  512: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
  513: is forced in front of all libraries.
  514: * Tue Jul 13 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.17 (RPL/2)
  515: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
  516: - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
  517: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
  518: caught;
  519: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
  520: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
  521: with a segmentation error;
  522: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
  523: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
  524: signals;
  525: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
  526: matrix.
  527: * Thu Jun 24 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.16 (RPL/2)

  540: * Sun May 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.15 (RPL/2)
  541: - all '-' are replaced by '_' in random generator list;
  542: - minor memory leak is fixed in OPEN intrinsic (socket);
  543: - major bug is fixed in IFERR structure. Only occurs in compiled program;
  544: - major bug is fixed in copie_objet() and liberation(). Only concerns
  545: format in FCH (file descriptor) and SCK (socket descriptor);
  546: - debug routines are improved;
  547: - PROCID is added;
  548: - MEMLOCK and MEMUNLOCK are added. MEMLOCK forces a process to remain in memory
  549: and to not use swap;
  550: - major bug is fixed in sql support. SQL connections were closed in all chield
  551: process;
  552: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
  553: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that
  554: are first fit class allocators. Solaris libmtmalloc works better and is
  555: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3
  556: performance;
  557: - major bug is fixed in ROW+ intrinsic (new row was not added where it
  558: should);
  559: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is
  560: caught);
  561: - major bug is fixed in STOP intrinsic. STOP was unable to stop any process
  562: created by SPAWN;
  563: - SIGFABORT is added. When process receives SIGFSTOP, it tries to execute
  564: ATEXIT. If it receives SIGFABORT, it does not;
  565: - ONEXIT is renamed in ATEXIT;
  566: - ONEXIT new intrinsic is added.
  567: * Wed Apr 21 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.14 (RPL/2)

  569: This bug only occurs when RPL/2 tries to create a shared or static variable
  570: from an expression;
  571: - major bug is fixed in copie_etat_processus(). A field that contains
  572: information about shared variable was not copied to new processus structure;
  573: - some little memory leaks are fixed in evaluation(), recherche_type() and
  574: sequenceur(). They only occured when syntax error were caught;
  575: - IMPLICIT causes execution error instead system error;
  576: - Hurd support is improved but currently broken because Hurd does not support
  577: SIG_INFO. Work in progress;
  578: - OpenBSD specific support is removed from sources;
  579: - support for Mac OS X and Windows/Cygwin is added.

  674: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
  675: old pid by new one;
  676: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression

  722: - libiconv is upgraded to 1.13.1;
  723: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.2.6;
  724: - gsl is upgraded to 1.13.
  725: * Mon Sep 28 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.6 (RPL/2)
  726: - pipe() is overwritten by a macro to avoid a system error. Communication
  727: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
  728: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
  729: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
  730: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
  731: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
  732: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
  733: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope
  734: this bug shall be the last one;
  735: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic (determinant was computed without LU
  736: diagonalization);
  737: - SWAPCNTXT is added;
  738: - minor bug is fixed in Makefile.am (licences rule).
  739: * Wed Sep 09 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.5 (RPL/2)
  740: - some bugfixes are added in process management;
  741: - all process management is rewritten to avoid usage of defunct process
  742: or thread number;
  743: - new major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. Sometimes, when retrait_thread()
  744: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
  745: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
  746: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
  747: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
  748: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
  749: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
  750: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
  751: process was running retrait_thread());
  752: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
  753: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because
  754: all messages written by signal handlers are sent to stderr;
  755: - configure.in script is modified to test gcc version and avoid a bug in
  756: gcc older than 4.4;
  757: - some benchmarks have been done :

  802: - minor bug is fixed in WRITE (SIGPIPE is ignored to catch error without
  803: process termination);
  804: - major bug is fixed in FUSE intrinsic (FUSE kills itself and do not kill
  805: its parent);
  806: - a mutex to protect fork() syscall is added;

  829: SIGFSTP (with a nullified siginfo structure) instead of SIGHUP when control
  830: process is killed;
  831: - abs() macro is modified to avoid multiple evaluation. Your C compiler has to
  832: know typeof() intrinsic function. This function is not standard but exists
  833: under Sun Studio, gcc, and maybe some others compilers. If this function does
  834: not exist on your compiler, you can change its definition by old one in
  835: src/rpl.h;
  836: - fflush() can now be interrupted by signal (SunOS);

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

  897: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
  898: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
  899: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
  900: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
  901: main process to abort;
  902: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
  903: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
  904: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
  905: should be added;
  906: - -D flag and DAEMONIZE intrinsic have been added;
  907: - REPEAT, THEN, ELSE and ELSEIF intrinsics are rewritten to be more efficient;

 1087: than 1E6;
 1088: - numeric and character formats are now tested;
 1089: - -A flag is added. -A is used to give command line parameters to main

 1176: - minor bug is fixed in recherche_type(). Don't forget that space
 1177: are not significant in algebraic expression:
 1178: '12 3+ 12    X' is the same expression than '123+12X';
 1179: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid double compilation process;
 1180: - --enable-final-run-path is added to configure.in script;

 1198: functions were case unsensitive when they were evaluated from RPN expressions;
 1199: - HELP function is rewritten to be more friendly (a la OpenVMS);
 1200: - external wrapper (rplplot) is written to force usage of gnuplot provided
 1201: by RPL/2 if it is built during build process. If this build does not exist,
 1202: it tries to launch regular gnuplot;
 1203: - gnuplot is added to source tree to avoid some trouble between preinstalled
 1204: gnuplot and release used by RPL/2. This addition to source tree is
 1205: required by some incompatibility between gnuplot releases;

 1211: not writable;
 1212: - major regression is fixed in SYSEVAL intrinsic due to introduction of
 1213: error scrutation.

 1255: or purge actions. New PARAMETER and VARIABLE intrinsics are modified
 1256: versions of PROTECT and UNPROTECT that only deal with global variables
 1257: (see RCL/SAVE);
 1258: - variable management routines have been rewritten. The new ones are
 1259: uncompatible with the old ones. Before these changes, a local variable
 1260: was exported to a child subroutine, but cannot be modified into this
 1261: child subroutine. Now, a local variable is accessible only in its subroutine;
 1262: - SAVE intrinsic is added to manipulate global variables;

 1583: fine...);
 1584: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
 1585: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
 1586: with a NOTZ function !
 1587: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)

 1590: - RPL/2 is tested with efence and valgrind;
 1591: - configure.in script is modified;
 1592: - units.c is modified to be built by gcc-3.3. I only have removed a #if 0/#endif

 1653: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
 1654: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
 1655: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)

 1672: - SCLS is added;
 1673: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
 1674: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
 1675: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
 1676: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
 1677: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
 1678: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
 1679: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
 1680: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
 1681: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
 1682: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
 1683: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
 1684: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
 1685: external names of the known functions;
 1686: - mkrplso.in is modified.
 1687: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)

 1701: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
 1702: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
 1703: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
 1704: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
 1705: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
 1706: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
 1707: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
 1708: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
 1709: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
 1710: same than AXES:
 1711: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
 1712: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
 1713: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
 1714: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
 1715: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
 1716: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
 1717: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
 1718: screen on second scale;
 1719: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
 1720: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
 1721: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
 1722: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
 1723: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
 1724: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
 1725: incrementation);
 1726: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
 1727: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
 1728: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
 1729: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
 1730: the first stack level;
 1731: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
 1732: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
 1733: option;
 1734: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
 1735: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
 1736: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
 1737: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
 1738: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
 1739: in 0);
 1740: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
 1741: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
 1742: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
 1743: sequencer;
 1744: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
 1745: of a loop are not integer or real.
 1746: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)

 1754: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
 1755: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
 1756: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
 1757: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown

 1774: - a minor bug is fixed in evaluation subroutine;
 1775: - vim syntax file is improved;
 1776: - DRAW (wireframe section) is fixed. When an error occurs in the evaluation
 1777: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
 1778: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
 1779: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
 1780: - RETURN intrinsic is modified to fix a trouble in interactive mode;
 1781: - rplconvert is improved.

 1798: Now, an expression such as 'A+' returns an error when it is analyzed;
 1799: - VISIT intrinsic is added;
 1800: - a major memory leak is fixed in evaluation.c. This bug rarely occurs in
 1801: normal mode.
