En route pour la 4.1.33.

    1: * Thu Mar 11 2021 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.1.33 (RPL/2)
    2: * Thu Mar 11 2021 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.1.32 (RPL/2)
    3: - major bug is fixed in EXIT intrinsic (when EXIT is followed by DO or
    4: WHILE);
    5: - SYSEVAL is fixed. Now, it is possible to write :
    6:         "awk 'BEGIN { I=0; } /<comp ref=.*>/ { I=I+1; } "
    7:         "{ if (I>0) print; } /<\\/comp>/ { I=I-1; }' " + FICHIER +
    8:         syseval
    9: 
   10: instead of
   11:         "sh -c \"awk 'BEGIN { I=0; } /<comp ref=.*>/ { I=I+1; } "
   12:         "{ if (I>0) print; } /<\\/comp>/ { I=I-1; }' " + FICHIER +
   13:         syseval
   14: 
   15: - src/rpl.h is modified as gcc 10.2 triggers an error on UNIX_MAX_PATH;

  360: - recherche_type() did not convert huge integer in real. Now,
  361: 18446744072742037448 is converted into real as value cannot be stored in
  362: RPL/2 integer type;
  363: - WFSOCK is modified to handle unconnected sockets;
  364: - REGEX is added;
  365: - RESTART is added (execvp() on main RPL/2 process);
  366: - copie_objet() now returns same MTX (struct_mutex) even if caller wait for
  367: a real copy. Now, struct_mutex contains locks owner. On Linux or Solaris (for
  368: example), it is possible to lock mutex from a thread and unlock the same mutex
  369: from another thread. On NetBSD, system crashes.

  445: by a new feature in glibc.
  446: * Thu Apr 14 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.22 (RPL/2)
  447: - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
  448: "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
  449: - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
  450: to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
  451: to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
  452: - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
  453: subroutines;
  454: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
  455: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
  456: - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
  457: when X was a vector or a table.

  487: * Thu Sep 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.19 (RPL/2)
  488: - due to a very strange bug I've only seen on Solaris, ptmalloc3 is removed.
  489: Solaris libresolv randomly uses ptmalloc3 and system allocator and makes heap
  490: corruption. As internal memory management have been improved, a best fit
  491: allocator like ptmalloc3 is not required anymore;
  492: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.1;
  493: - deadlock is fixed in signal handlers: same mutex was used in standard
  494: subroutines (without protected sections by sigprocmask() or pthread_sigmask())
  495: and signal handlers. A new signal handler specific mutex is added;
  496: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. In { X 0 PI }, PI is a function
  497: that has to be evaluated by ->NUM;
  498: - rplfile build process is modify to be sure that rplfile is not modified
  499: after rpl build stage (to be sure that rplfile checksum is not modified after
  500: rpl compilation);
  501: - AWK is replaced by rplawk. rplawk is original awk written by Brian Kernighan,
  502: modified to remove yacc code and renamed;
  503: - some workarounds have been written to not use buggy klibc SystemV IPCS.
  504: ABORT now works on eComStation;
  505: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.2;
  506: - bug is fixed in software interrupts. When both process have different PID,
  507: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
  508: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
  509: in parent process;
  510: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
  511: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
  512: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
  513: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
  514: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
  515: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
  516: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
  517: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
  518: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
  519: (Unix PID);
  520: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
  521: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;
  522: - SWI now sends SIGCONT to interrupted process to start interrupt without delay;

  530: - OS/2 (eComStation 2.0 with EMX 0.9d) support is added;
  531: - TOKENIZE is now able to convert escape sequences;
  532: - ATPOKE and CLRATPOKE new intrinsics are added;
  533: - --enable-full-static configure flag is added. With this flag, mysql and
  534: postgresql libraries are statically linked in rpl executable;
  535: - units Makefile is modified to avoid readline and ncurses usages;
  536: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.0.1;
  537: - units is upgraded to 1.88;
  538: - another major bug is fixed in the same variable creation subroutine.
  539: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
  540: a name of RPL/2 routine;
  541: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
  542: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
  543: computed address of global variable was wrong;
  544: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
  545: is forced in front of all libraries.
  546: * Tue Jul 13 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.17 (RPL/2)
  547: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
  548: - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
  549: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
  550: caught;
  551: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
  552: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
  553: with a segmentation error;
  554: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
  555: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
  556: signals;
  557: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
  558: matrix.
  559: * Thu Jun 24 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.16 (RPL/2)

  568: - version verification is added to shared objects;
  569: - -D_GNU_SOURCE is added to ptmalloc3 makefile to avoid a major bug on 64 bits
  570: linux (false mremap() prototype);
  571: - major bug is fixed in rpliconv. getc() returns an int, not a unsigned char.
  572: * Sun May 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.15 (RPL/2)
  573: - all '-' are replaced by '_' in random generator list;
  574: - minor memory leak is fixed in OPEN intrinsic (socket);
  575: - major bug is fixed in IFERR structure. Only occurs in compiled program;
  576: - major bug is fixed in copie_objet() and liberation(). Only concerns
  577: format in FCH (file descriptor) and SCK (socket descriptor);
  578: - debug routines are improved;
  579: - PROCID is added;
  580: - MEMLOCK and MEMUNLOCK are added. MEMLOCK forces a process to remain in memory
  581: and to not use swap;
  582: - major bug is fixed in sql support. SQL connections were closed in all chield
  583: process;
  584: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
  585: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that
  586: are first fit class allocators. Solaris libmtmalloc works better and is
  587: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3
  588: performance;
  589: - major bug is fixed in ROW+ intrinsic (new row was not added where it
  590: should);
  591: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is
  592: caught);
  593: - major bug is fixed in STOP intrinsic. STOP was unable to stop any process
  594: created by SPAWN;
  595: - SIGFABORT is added. When process receives SIGFSTOP, it tries to execute
  596: ATEXIT. If it receives SIGFABORT, it does not;
  597: - ONEXIT is renamed in ATEXIT;
  598: - ONEXIT new intrinsic is added.
  599: * Wed Apr 21 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.14 (RPL/2)

  601: This bug only occurs when RPL/2 tries to create a shared or static variable
  602: from an expression;
  603: - major bug is fixed in copie_etat_processus(). A field that contains
  604: information about shared variable was not copied to new processus structure;
  605: - some little memory leaks are fixed in evaluation(), recherche_type() and
  606: sequenceur(). They only occured when syntax error were caught;
  607: - IMPLICIT causes execution error instead system error;
  608: - Hurd support is improved but currently broken because Hurd does not support
  609: SIG_INFO. Work in progress;
  610: - OpenBSD specific support is removed from sources;
  611: - support for Mac OS X and Windows/Cygwin is added.

  652: - in formatted file, string format returned a variable length string even if
  653: format was 'CHARACTER*(n)' (n characters string). Now, 'CHARACTER*(*)' returns
  654: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
  655: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are
  656: supported;
  657: - direct access files support is added. Currenlty, these files can only be used

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

  717: script file contains a multibyte character;
  718: - IN intrinsic is added;
  719: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
  720: returned false ;
  721: - major bug is fixed in RETURN intrinsic. It only occurs in compiled
  722: programs;
  723: - major bug is fixed in NEG intrinsic. NEG did not make a copy of its arguments;
  724: - regression is fixed in compilation(). "\\" was analysed as '"' '\' '\"' and
  725: strings were never closed;
  726: - some bugs have been fixed in file management;
  727: - RPL/2 can now be run on EBCDIC systems (OS/390);
  728: - major bug is fixed in -A command line option (NULL character is missing);
  729: - minor bug is fixed in rpliconv and RECODE intrinsic. All transliterations are
  730: made by blocks (1024 bytes). When an incomplete multibyte sequence is
  731: encountered at end of block, subroutine aborts with an execution error;
  732: - major bug is fixed in OPEN (TCP/IPv4 sockets).
  733: * Mon Nov 30 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.7 (RPL/2)
  734: - DISP now locks stdout;
  735: - rpliconv is added to replace standard iconv provided by operating system.
  736: Indeed, conversion between different encodages requires transliteration
  737: that is not offered by some iconv utility;
  738: - CURRENC and RECODE intrinsics have been written to allow strings conversions;
  739: - bug is fixed in SYSEVAL. When execvp() returns (for example when arg[0] can
  740: not be found), SYSEVAL enters in a dead lock;
  741: - fprintf is replaced by some functions that allow transliterations between
  742: locales;
  743: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
  744: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write
  745: CGI scripts with RPL/2 because locale charset is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968;
  746: - double free is fixed in liberation() (type SQL, only occurs when locale is
  747: set);
  748: - LOCALIZATION, UCASE and LCASE are added;
  749: - major bug is fixed in EXIT intrinsic that was able to return a false
  750: execution error in compiled scripts (only in DO/UNTIL and REPEAT/WHILE loops);
  751: - major bug is fixed in wrapper_instruction_intrinseque(). When intrinsic() was
  752: used in onLoading from shared library, USE was pushed on stack as algebraic
  753: expression;
  754: - libiconv is upgraded to 1.13.1;
  755: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.2.6;
  756: - gsl is upgraded to 1.13.
  757: * Mon Sep 28 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.6 (RPL/2)
  758: - pipe() is overwritten by a macro to avoid a system error. Communication
  759: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
  760: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
  761: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
  762: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
  763: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
  764: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
  765: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope
  766: this bug shall be the last one;
  767: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic (determinant was computed without LU
  768: diagonalization);
  769: - SWAPCNTXT is added;
  770: - minor bug is fixed in Makefile.am (licences rule).
  771: * Wed Sep 09 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.5 (RPL/2)
  772: - some bugfixes are added in process management;
  773: - all process management is rewritten to avoid usage of defunct process
  774: or thread number;
  775: - new major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. Sometimes, when retrait_thread()
  776: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
  777: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
  778: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
  779: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
  780: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
  781: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
  782: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
  783: process was running retrait_thread());
  784: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;
  785: - file locks are added to stdin and stdout. stderr is not locked because
  786: all messages written by signal handlers are sent to stderr;
  787: - configure.in script is modified to test gcc version and avoid a bug in
  788: gcc older than 4.4;
  789: - some benchmarks have been done :

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

  833: * Fri Jul 17 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.3 (RPL/2)
  834: - minor bug is fixed in WRITE (SIGPIPE is ignored to catch error without
  835: process termination);
  836: - major bug is fixed in FUSE intrinsic (FUSE kills itself and do not kill
  837: its parent);
  838: - a mutex to protect fork() syscall is added;
  839: - all mutexes are unlocked after fork() in DETACH;
  840: - minor bug (double free corruption) is fixed in CLOSE intrinsic;
  841: - major bug is fixed in lecture_pipe when a nullified list is sent into a pipe;
  842: - WORKDIR intrinsic is added;

  844: there variables are not modifiable and only contains static user definitions;
  845: - branches prediction is added in THEN, ELSE, ELSEIF and REPEAT intrinsics;
  846: - FORTRAN 77 file management subroutines are rewritten in pure C due to
  847: FORTRAN string management. C/FORTRAN 77 string interfaces are broken
  848: in some cases (gcc/gfortran/libc/OS and arch conjonction);
  849: - a memory leak is fixed in REMOVE intrinsic;
  850: - major bug is fixed in MySQL driver (segfault due to a bug in mysql_init()
  851: and due to a libmysqlclient that is not thread safe).
  852: * Wen Jun 10 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.2 (RPL/2)
  853: - new enhanced allocator is written for regular variables, static variables and

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

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

  902: - RPL/2 can be built on Solaris 64 bits with some minor scripts alterations.
  903: See README for more explanations;
  904: - MTXSTATUS intrinsic is added;
  905: - YIELD intrinsic is added;
  906: - ERRM is fixed. In some cases, ERRM uses some uninitialized pointers;

  908: static variable that is shared by multiple threads;
  909: - '->' intrinsic is improved. All object copies have been avoided;
  910: - -n flag is added to catch HUP signal. stderr and stdout are redirected
  911: to a file, stdin is redirected to /dev/null when control process is killed;
  912: - a mutex is added to each object (before this modification,
  913: RPL/2 used a global mutex and performances in multithreaded programs were very
  914: poor.);
  915: - ALARM is now interruptible;
  916: - both PUT and PUTI intrinsics are improved and do not copy list and table
  917: when nombre_occurrences == 1;

  928: in three new intrinsics : SQLCONNECT, SQLQUERY and SQLDISCONNECT. Please note
  929: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
  930: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
  931: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
  932: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
  933: main process to abort;
  934: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
  935: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
  936: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
  937: should be added;
  938: - -D flag and DAEMONIZE intrinsic have been added;
  939: - REPEAT, THEN, ELSE and ELSEIF intrinsics are rewritten to be more efficient;
  940: - autoconf script is modified to handle mysql and postgresql on non standard

  954: it's done. Data integrity is now respected during transmission (POKE, SEND and
  955: SWI);
  956: - ITRACE is added. This intrinsic is only used to debug internal structures and
  957: should not be used in regular programs;
  958: - SWISTATUS is written;
  959: - WFACK is written;
  960: - rplcore files are now able to handle compilation errors;
  961: - rplcore files are now able to handle evaluation and interruption errors;

 1023: - FUSE, RFUSE and CLRFUSE have been added;
 1024: - new bug discovered on NetBSD. sigpending() does not return any signal, thus
 1025: DETACH intrinsic enters in a definitive dead lock. I have no idea to write a
 1026: workaround for this major bug. Nevertheless, all others capabilities seems to
 1027: work fine;
 1028: - '->' is modified to return error when program tries to initialiaze two
 1029: variables with the same name like
 1030: 1 0 -> I I << ... >>;

 1046: - PEEK, POKE and WFPOKE new intrinsics are written;
 1047: - major bug due to new garbage collector is fixed in rplexternals.h (double free
 1048: corruption);
 1049: - CLRCNTXT is added (clear contexts);
 1050: - VERIFY intrinsic is written;
 1051: - PSHCNTXT and PULCNTXT are added (PSHCNTXT pushes context on an
 1052: internal contexts stack, PULCNTXT pulls contexts from this internal stack).
 1053: Main usages of these intrinsics are in conjonction with IFERR or with
 1054: software interrupts;
 1055: - HEAD, TAIL and REVLIST intrinsics are added;
 1056: - function pointers have been added to function description;
 1057: - new analyse() routine is written. All instrinsics are now in a N-tree;

 1060: time signals have been removed;
 1061: - major bugs are fixed in multitasking (mutex trouble _and_ segmentation fault);
 1062: - minor bug is fixed in STR->. STR-> could return a system error instead an
 1063: execution one;
 1064: - first bug due to new garbage collector is fixed in '+' ({ } { } +) and in
 1065: '-' intrinsics;
 1066: - PostgreSQL support is written.

 1068: - locale can now be specified in SQL intrinsic :
 1069: { "mysql:iso-8859-1" "server" "database" ... };
 1070: - major bug is fixed un analyse_algebrique(). When DISP printed an algebraic
 1071: object, 'DISP()' was pushed in stack;
 1072: - same major bug is fixed in <, >, <=, >= and <>;
 1073: - major bug fixed in formateur() (segfault when a symbol is used without "'");
 1074: - major bug is fixed in DUPN intrinsic;
 1075: - when software interrupt (SWI) is evaluated, SWI pushs process id on stack
 1076: before starting interrupt evaluation;
 1077: - -f parameter is added when iconv is called;
 1078: - as old file program was bugged, a new option is added to configure script.
 1079: When configure is called with --disable-encoding-autodetection, make does not
 1080: try to detect source encoding. Please, do not use if RPL/2 can be built
 1081: without this option !
 1082: - new garbage collector (and more efficient) is written;
 1083: - configure script is modified to be usable on NetBSD 4.0, but as NetBSD does
 1084: not support real time signals, RPL/2 cannot use multitasking functions;
 1085: - error returned by preprocessor are now catched by RPL/2;
 1086: - -p option is added. With this option, all scripts are compiled before
 1087: RPL/2 starts evaluation. HALT cannot be used with -p, but all programs run
 1088: 40% faster;
 1089: - read and write operations in pipe() are rewritten to be sure that such

 1615: fine...);
 1616: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
 1617: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
 1618: with a NOTZ function !
 1619: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)

 1622: - RPL/2 is tested with efence and valgrind;
 1623: - configure.in script is modified;
 1624: - units.c is modified to be built by gcc-3.3. I only have removed a #if 0/#endif

 1685: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
 1686: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
 1687: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)

 1704: - SCLS is added;
 1705: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
 1706: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
 1707: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
 1708: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
 1709: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
 1710: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
 1711: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
 1712: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
 1713: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
 1714: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
 1715: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
 1716: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
 1717: external names of the known functions;
 1718: - mkrplso.in is modified.
 1719: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
 1720: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
 1721: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();

 1732: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
 1733: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
 1734: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
 1735: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
 1736: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
 1737: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
 1738: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
 1739: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
 1740: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
 1741: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
 1742: same than AXES:
 1743: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
 1744: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
 1745: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
 1746: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
 1747: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
 1748: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
 1749: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
 1750: screen on second scale;
 1751: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
 1752: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
 1753: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
 1754: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
 1755: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
 1756: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
 1757: incrementation);
 1758: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
 1759: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
 1760: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
 1761: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
 1762: the first stack level;
 1763: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
 1764: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
 1765: option;
 1766: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
 1767: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
 1768: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
 1769: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
 1770: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
 1771: in 0);
 1772: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
 1773: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
 1774: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
 1775: sequencer;
 1776: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
 1777: of a loop are not integer or real.
 1778: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)
 1779: - the compilation stage aborts with an error message when two definitions
 1780: have the same name. To improve the compilation() subroutine, I have to
 1781: add some tests in gestion_variables.c;
 1782: - recherche_type() subroutine ad some other connex subroutines are improved.
 1783: Now, some syntax errors about object are caught and do not perform sequencer
 1784: hangup;
 1785: - readline is upgraded (minor compilation bug with recent gcc);
 1786: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
 1787: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
 1788: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
 1789: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown
 1790: the boxwidth, 1 by default);
 1791: - recherche_type() is rewritten to be faster;
 1792: - gsl is upgraded (release 1.3);
 1793: - ncurses is upgraded and patched (release 5.3);
 1794: - recherche_instruction_suivante() is fixed (string research with included
 1795: '"') and rewritten to be faster;
 1796: - appel_gnuplot() is fixed. When no graphic was available, it returned a
 1797: segfault.
 1798: * Sun Mar 9 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6c (RPL/2)
 1799: - RPL/2 is compiled by gcc-3.2.2 and seems to work;
 1800: - the same minor bug is fixed in REDRAW and DRAX functions;
 1801: - a minor fix is written in DRAW function (2D and 3D);
