3: - some workarounds have been written to not use buggy klibc SystemV IPCS.
4: ABORT now works on eComStation;
5: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.2;
6: - bug is fixed in software interrupts. When both process have different PID,
7: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
8: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
9: in parent process;
10: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
11: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
12: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
13: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
14: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
15: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
16: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
17: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
18: shared memory (SysV) and eleven semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
19: (Unix PID);
20: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
21: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;
22: - SWI now sends SIGCONT to interrupted process to start interrupt without delay;

39: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
40: a name of RPL/2 routine;
41: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
42: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
43: computed address of global variable was wrong;
44: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
45: is forced in front of all libraries.
46: * Tue Jul 13 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.17 (RPL/2)
47: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;

49: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
50: caught;
51: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
52: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
53: with a segmentation error;
54: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
55: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
56: signals;

79: - PROCID is added;
80: - MEMLOCK and MEMUNLOCK are added. MEMLOCK forces a process to remain in memory
81: and to not use swap;
82: - major bug is fixed in sql support. SQL connections were closed in all chield
83: process;
84: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
85: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that
86: are first fit class allocators. Solaris libmtmalloc works better and is
87: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3
88: performance;
89: - major bug is fixed in ROW+ intrinsic (new row was not added where it
90: should);
91: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is

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

151: * Tue Mar 09 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.12 (RPL/2)
152: - in formatted file, string format returned a variable length string even if
153: format was 'CHARACTER*(n)' (n characters string). Now, 'CHARACTER*(*)' returns
154: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
155: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are
156: supported;
157: - direct access files support is added. Currenlty, these files can only be used
158: in formatted mode;

163: - RPL/2 tools (rpliconv, rplfile, rplpp and rplconvert) are now checked before
164: each execution (md5 and sha1 sums) to enhance security. If one of these tools
165: have been modified between RPL/2 compilation and current execution, RPL/2 aborts
166: on a non recoverable system error;
167: - openssl and sqlite3 libraries are added;
168: - RPL_HOME env variable is added. When RPL/2 is called from librpl, this
169: variable indicates RPL/2 root directory. If it is not set, root path
170: is given by configure script (d_exec_path);
171: * Thu Mar 03 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.11 (RPL/2)

205: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
206: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
207: old pid by new one;
208: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
209: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
210: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with
211: -p option :
212: TEST << iferr TEST2 then end >>
213: TEST2 << 0 inv >>
214: - major bug is fixed in variable management. Some local variables were
215: seen as global ones;

217: script file contains a multibyte character;
218: - IN intrinsic is added;
219: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
220: returned false ;

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

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

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

277: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
278: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
279: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
280: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
281: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
282: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
283: process was running retrait_thread());
284: - matrix rank is computed before matrix inversion;

398: * Wed Jan 28 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.0.prerelease.9 (RPL/2)
399: - an estimation of future stack elements is added to avoid some costly memory
400: allocations. This function has a positive impact on execution speed;
401: - PSHPRFL and PULPRFL have been added;
402: - RPL/2 can be built on Solaris 64 bits with some minor scripts alterations.
403: See README for more explanations;
404: - MTXSTATUS intrinsic is added;
405: - YIELD intrinsic is added;
406: - ERRM is fixed. In some cases, ERRM uses some uninitialized pointers;
407: - SHARED and PRIVATE intrinsics have been added. A shared variable is a
408: static variable that is shared by multiple threads;
409: - '->' intrinsic is improved. All object copies have been avoided;
410: - -n flag is added to catch HUP signal. stderr and stdout are redirected
411: to a file, stdin is redirected to /dev/null when control process is killed;
412: - a mutex is added to each object (before this modification,
413: RPL/2 used a global mutex and performances in multithreaded programs were very
414: poor.);
415: - ALARM is now interruptible;
416: - both PUT and PUTI intrinsics are improved and do not copy list and table
417: when nombre_occurrences == 1;
418: - COPY intrinsic is added. Argument (that can be pointed from some objects)
419: is replaced by a new copy of itself;
420: - memory leak is fixed in sequenceur(). It only occurs when an execution error

429: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
430: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
431: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
432: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
433: main process to abort;
434: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
435: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
436: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
437: should be added;
438: - -D flag and DAEMONIZE intrinsic have been added;
439: - REPEAT, THEN, ELSE and ELSEIF intrinsics are rewritten to be more efficient;

454: it's done. Data integrity is now respected during transmission (POKE, SEND and
455: SWI);
456: - ITRACE is added. This intrinsic is only used to debug internal structures and
457: should not be used in regular programs;
458: - SWISTATUS is written;
459: - WFACK is written;
460: - rplcore files are now able to handle compilation errors;

525: DETACH intrinsic enters in a definitive dead lock. I have no idea to write a
526: workaround for this major bug. Nevertheless, all others capabilities seems to
527: work fine;
528: - '->' is modified to return error when program tries to initialiaze two

577: - -f parameter is added when iconv is called;
578: - as old file program was bugged, a new option is added to configure script.
579: When configure is called with --disable-encoding-autodetection, make does not
580: try to detect source encoding. Please, do not use if RPL/2 can be built
581: without this option !
582: - new garbage collector (and more efficient) is written;
583: - configure script is modified to be usable on NetBSD 4.0, but as NetBSD does
584: not support real time signals, RPL/2 cannot use multitasking functions;
585: - error returned by preprocessor are now catched by RPL/2;
586: - -p option is added. With this option, all scripts are compiled before
587: RPL/2 starts evaluation. HALT cannot be used with -p, but all programs run
588: 40% faster;
589: - read and write operations in pipe() are rewritten to be sure that such
590: operations are atomic;
591: - minor bug is fixed in LOGSCALE. With {} LOGSCALE, all scales have to be

716: - MEM does not report static variable sizes;
717: - minor bug is fixed in HELP intrinsic. When the last instruction was not
718: known, HELP function was pushed in operational stack. HELP did not work

732: - external wrapper (rplplot) is written to force usage of gnuplot provided
733: by RPL/2 if it is built during build process. If this build does not exist,
734: it tries to launch regular gnuplot;
735: - gnuplot is added to source tree to avoid some trouble between preinstalled
736: gnuplot and release used by RPL/2. This addition to source tree is
737: required by some incompatibility between gnuplot releases;
738: - Lapack is upgraded to 3.1.1 release;
739: - GSL is upgraded to 1.9 revision;
740: - RPL_TMP_PATH env variable is added to specify the path of tempfiles. If

742: not, ./ but RPL/2 can hang with a fatal error if this last location is
743: not writable;
744: - major regression is fixed in SYSEVAL intrinsic due to introduction of
745: error scrutation.

773: >>
774:
775: VAR_S2
776: <<
777: static 3 -> C << C disp 'C' decr >>
778: >>
779:
780: - configure.in script is added in lapack subtree;
781: - VARS is modified to display variables status (LOCKED/UNLOCKED and
782: STATIC/VOLATILE/PARAMETER/VARIABLE);
783: - STATIC and VOLATILE intrinsics are added to specify static variables. A
784: static variable can be transformed into volatile with VOLATILE.
785: With STATIC, next variables created by '->' are static;
786: - PROTECT and UNPROTECT are added to protect variables against write
787: or purge actions. New PARAMETER and VARIABLE intrinsics are modified
788: versions of PROTECT and UNPROTECT that only deal with global variables
789: (see RCL/SAVE);
790: - variable management routines have been rewritten. The new ones are
791: uncompatible with the old ones. Before these changes, a local variable
792: was exported to a child subroutine, but cannot be modified into this

1171: * Sun Jun 1 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6k (RPL/2)
1172: - SLICESCALE intrinsic is added. Its syntax is
1173: { "automatic" nb_of_levels }
1174: { "discrete" l1 l2 l3 ... }
1175: { "incremental" start incr }
1176: { "incremental" start incr end }
1177: { "automatic" } (default);
1178: - a minor bug (in last stack) is fixed in AXES intrinsic
1179: - flag 52 is used to automatically update graphics;
1180: - man pages are updated;
1181: - evaluation() is modified to perform evaluation of expressions that contain
1182: '=';
1183: - a minor bug is fixed in AXES intrinsic;
1184: - a minor bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic (2D and 3D graphics were able to
1185: appear on the same figure). The same mistake is fixed in DRWS intrinsic;
1186: - LAST is disabled in evaluation subroutine (EVAL and ->NUM intrinsics).
1187: * Sun May 18 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6j (RPL/2)
1188: - SLICE intrinsic is added. It is used to draw 3D graphics as contour lines;

1196: - XCOL and YCOL are added;
1197: - a minor bug in analyse_syntaxique() is fixed;
1198: - THEN is modified to return an error when ELSE appears in a CASE/THEN/END
1199: structure. ELSE is modified to return an error when ELSE appears in
1200: an ELSE/END structure;
1201: - a major bug is fixed in CYCLE;

1204: - SCLS is added;
1205: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
1206: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
1207: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
1208: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
1209: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
1210: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
1211: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
1212: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
1213: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
1214: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
1215: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
1216: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
1217: external names of the known functions;
1218: - mkrplso.in is modified.
1219: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)
1220: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1221: - a minor mistake is fixed in recherche_instruction_suivante();
1222: - some minor memory leaks are fixed in recherche_type() function. They only
1223: occurs when a syntax error is detected;

1230: - PUTC and PUTR new intrinsics are added.
1231: * Sun Apr 13 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6g (RPL/2)
1232: - a very minor bug is fixed in VISIT intrinsic. It only occurs when
1233: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
1234: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
1235: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
1236: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
1237: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
1238: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
1239: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
1240: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
1241: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
1242: same than AXES:
1243: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
1244: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
1245: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
1246: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
1247: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
1248: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
1249: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
1250: screen on second scale;
1251: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
1252: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
1253: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
1254: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
1255: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
1256: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
1257: incrementation);
1258: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
1259: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
1260: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
1261: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
1262: the first stack level;
1263: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
1264: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
1265: option;
1266: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
1267: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
1268: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
1269: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
1270: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
1271: in 0);
1272: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
1273: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
1274: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
1275: sequencer;
1276: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
1277: of a loop are not integer or real.
1278: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)

1280: have the same name. To improve the compilation() subroutine, I have to
1281: add some tests in gestion_variables.c;
1282: - recherche_type() subroutine ad some other connex subroutines are improved.
1283: Now, some syntax errors about object are caught and do not perform sequencer
1284: hangup;

1286: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
1287: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
1288: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
1289: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown

1309: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
1310: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
1311: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
1312: - RETURN intrinsic is modified to fix a trouble in interactive mode;
1313: - rplconvert is improved.
