Correction d'une réinitialisation sauvage de la pile des variables par niveau
dans la copie de la structure de description du processus. Cela corrige
la fonction SPAWN qui échouait sur un segmentation fault car la pile des
variables par niveau était vide alors même que l'arbre des variables contenait
bien les variables. Passage à la prerelease 2.

   14: * Mon Jun 20 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.1.0.prerelease.0 (RPL/2)
   15: - New variable management is written. Please note that -p flag does not work
   16: and all multithread/multitask capabilities have been disabled until this
   17: new subsystem shall be validated.
   18: * Thu May 09 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.23 (RPL/2)
   19: - major bug is fixed in STD format (1E7 sq prints 1);
   20: - major bug is fixed in READ intrinsic (socket). This bug was introduced
   21: by a new feature in glibc.
   22: * Thu Apr 14 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.22 (RPL/2)
   23: - by default, RPL/2 uses "NONE" IMPLICIT when it's started in batch mode and
   24: "ALL" IMPLICIT when it runs in interactive mode;
   25: - when "NONE" IMPLICIT is set, STO intrinsic raises an error when it is used
   26: to create or modify a global variable. Now, with "NONE" IMPLICIT, you have
   27: to use SAVE to manipulate global variables;
   28: - replace erroneous TAB by TBL in evaluation() and formateur_fichier()
   29: subroutines;
   30: - fix major memory access violation in evaluation subroutine. Only occurs
   31: when 'X(i,j)' is evaluated on a matrix and when (i,j) points out of bounds;
   32: - fix major bug in evaluation subroutine. 'X(i)' returns execution error
   33: when X was a vector or a table.
   34: * Sun Apr 04 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.21 (RPL/2)
   35: - Gnuplot is upgraded;

   41: - FLOW socket support is added;
   42: - FLOW sequential files are added;
   43: - new escape sequence is added to handle flow files (\x + hexadecimal code).
   44: Known escape sequences are \", \b, \n, \t, \x?? and \\.
   45: * Sun Mar 06 2011 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.20 (RPL/2)
   46: - Ncurses is upgraded to 5.8;
   47: - ALARM is fixed by filling isdst field;
   48: - catch ECONNRESET in write intrinsic to return an execution error instead of
   49: system one;
   50: - fix a typo in HELP intrinsic;
   51: - Openssl is upgraded to 1.0.0d, sqlite to 3.7.5 and readline to 6.2;
   52: - Lapack is upgraded to 3.3.0;
   53: - libmtmalloc is now default Solaris allocator;
   54: - ncurses is upgraded;
   55: - regression introduced by 4.0.19 is fixed in signal management.
   56: Interruption1() could be called from itself and raises bus error (on sparc) or
   57: segmentation fault;
   58: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.4;
   59: - OpenSSL is upgraded to 1.0.0c;
   60: - syntax error is correctly checked ( (2+,0) does not crash RPL/2 anymore);

   62: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.2 due to major bugs.
   63: * Thu Sep 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.19 (RPL/2)
   64: - due to a very strange bug I've only seen on Solaris, ptmalloc3 is removed.
   65: Solaris libresolv randomly uses ptmalloc3 and system allocator and makes heap
   66: corruption. As internal memory management have been improved, a best fit
   67: allocator like ptmalloc3 is not required anymore;
   68: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.4.1;
   69: - deadlock is fixed in signal handlers: same mutex was used in standard
   70: subroutines (without protected sections by sigprocmask() or pthread_sigmask())
   71: and signal handlers. A new signal handler specific mutex is added;
   72: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. In { X 0 PI }, PI is a function
   73: that has to be evaluated by ->NUM;
   74: - rplfile build process is modify to be sure that rplfile is not modified
   75: after rpl build stage (to be sure that rplfile checksum is not modified after
   76: rpl compilation);
   77: - AWK is replaced by rplawk. rplawk is original awk written by Brian Kernighan,
   78: modified to remove yacc code and renamed;
   79: - some workarounds have been written to not use buggy klibc SystemV IPCS.
   80: ABORT now works on eComStation;
   81: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.2;
   82: - bug is fixed in software interrupts. When both process have different PID,
   83: parent process was not interrupted if it is not group master process. To fix
   84: this bug, SIGINJECT signal is not sent by child process but by control thread
   85: in parent process;
   86: - minor bug is fixed in data injection (POKE) that does not work as expected
   87: when child process is protected by NRPROC.
   88: * Thu Aug 26 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.18 (RPL/2)
   89: - --enable-sysv-sems is added to configure script to use SystemV semaphores
   90: functions instead of POSIX functions. This function is disabled or forced on
   91: systems that does not provide correct POSIX or SysV semaphores subsystem;
   92: - a dirty but not quick patch is written to workaround broken siginfo
   93: structures. This patch has been successfully tested. It uses a segment of
   94: shared memory (Posix or SysV) and some semaphores (Posix or SysV) by process
   95: (Unix PID);
   96: - some OpenBSD's hacks are added;
   97: - broken siginfo->si_pid field is now checked by configure script;
   98: - SWI now sends SIGCONT to interrupted process to start interrupt without delay;
   99: - random generator is cloned by SPAWN;
  100: - in transliteration subroutine : '\r' is added after all '\n' in OS/2 port;
  101: - getaddrinfo is hardcoded when host system does not provide getaddrinfo
  102: or freeaddrinfo;
  103: - RPL/2 can now use SystemV semaphores when POSIX semaphores are unavailable;
  104: - major bug is fixed in CHR intrinsic when obtained character is not printable;
  105: - Lapack is upgraded to 3.2.2;
  106: - OS/2 (eComStation 2.0 with EMX 0.9d) support is added;
  107: - TOKENIZE is now able to convert escape sequences;
  108: - ATPOKE and CLRATPOKE new intrinsics are added;
  109: - --enable-full-static configure flag is added. With this flag, mysql and
  110: postgresql libraries are statically linked in rpl executable;
  111: - units Makefile is modified to avoid readline and ncurses usages;
  112: - sqlite is upgraded to 3.7.0.1;
  113: - units is upgraded to 1.88;
  114: - another major bug is fixed in the same variable creation subroutine.
  115: Level 0 and 1 variables adresses were swapped when a global variable masked
  116: a name of RPL/2 routine;
  117: - major bug is fixed in global variable creation subroutine. When a global
  118: variable was created and when a local variable existed with the same name,
  119: computed address of global variable was wrong;
  120: - src/Makefile.am is modified to avoid a bug on several systems. libptmalloc3
  121: is forced in front of all libraries.
  122: * Tue Jul 13 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.17 (RPL/2)
  123: - BACKTRACE intrinsic is added;
  124: - major bug is fixed in SELECT/DEFAULT/END conditional structure. Only occurs
  125: when this structure is included in IFERR/THEN/END structure and when an error is
  126: caught;
  127: - major bug is fixed in analyse() subroutine. When evaluation() returned error
  128: in a compiled program, analyse() caught this error twice and randomly aborted
  129: with a segmentation error;
  130: - TRIM and TOKENIZE replace both '\n' and '\t' by regular spaces;
  131: - ATEXIT subroutine begins with an implicit CSTOP to avoid multiple stop
  132: signals;
  133: - memory leak is fixed in ROW+. It only occurs when a row is added to an empty
  134: matrix.
  135: * Thu Jun 24 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.16 (RPL/2)
  136: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. With this patch, same program
  137: returns same result with or without -p flag;

  139: - openssl is upgraded to 1.0.0a;
  140: - interrupt stacks are now FIFO instead of LIFO;
  141: - debug memory allocation subroutines are improved to run in multithreaded
  142: programs;
  143: - some memory leaks are fixed in process management (SPAWN and DETACH);
  144: - version verification is added to shared objects;
  145: - -D_GNU_SOURCE is added to ptmalloc3 makefile to avoid a major bug on 64 bits
  146: linux (false mremap() prototype);
  147: - major bug is fixed in rpliconv. getc() returns an int, not a unsigned char.
  148: * Sun May 23 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.15 (RPL/2)
  149: - all '-' are replaced by '_' in random generator list;
  150: - minor memory leak is fixed in OPEN intrinsic (socket);
  151: - major bug is fixed in IFERR structure. Only occurs in compiled program;
  152: - major bug is fixed in copie_objet() and liberation(). Only concerns
  153: format in FCH (file descriptor) and SCK (socket descriptor);
  154: - debug routines are improved;
  155: - PROCID is added;
  156: - MEMLOCK and MEMUNLOCK are added. MEMLOCK forces a process to remain in memory
  157: and to not use swap;
  158: - major bug is fixed in sql support. SQL connections were closed in all chield
  159: process;
  160: - standard allocator (malloc()/free()) is replaced by ptmalloc3 due to some bugs
  161: discovered in Solaris thread safe allocators (libmalloc and libumem) that
  162: are first fit class allocators. Solaris libmtmalloc works better and is
  163: a best fit class allocator but its performance is poor than ptmalloc3
  164: performance;
  165: - major bug is fixed in ROW+ intrinsic (new row was not added where it
  166: should);
  167: - minor bugs are fixed in interruptions.c (semaphores values when error is
  168: caught);
  169: - major bug is fixed in STOP intrinsic. STOP was unable to stop any process
  170: created by SPAWN;
  171: - SIGFABORT is added. When process receives SIGFSTOP, it tries to execute
  172: ATEXIT. If it receives SIGFABORT, it does not;
  173: - ONEXIT is renamed in ATEXIT;
  174: - ONEXIT new intrinsic is added.
  175: * Wed Apr 21 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.14 (RPL/2)
  176: - major bug is fixed in static and shared variables initialization subroutine.
  177: This bug only occurs when RPL/2 tries to create a shared or static variable
  178: from an expression;
  179: - major bug is fixed in copie_etat_processus(). A field that contains
  180: information about shared variable was not copied to new processus structure;
  181: - some little memory leaks are fixed in evaluation(), recherche_type() and
  182: sequenceur(). They only occured when syntax error were caught;
  183: - IMPLICIT causes execution error instead system error;
  184: - Hurd support is improved but currently broken because Hurd does not support
  185: SIG_INFO. Work in progress;
  186: - OpenBSD specific support is removed from sources;
  187: - support for Mac OS X and Windows/Cygwin is added.
  188: * Wed Apr 07 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.13 (RPL/2)

  227: * Tue Mar 09 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.12 (RPL/2)
  228: - in formatted file, string format returned a variable length string even if
  229: format was 'CHARACTER*(n)' (n characters string). Now, 'CHARACTER*(*)' returns
  230: a variable length string and 'CHARACTER*(n)' a fixed length string;
  231: - keyed access files support is added. Currently, only formatted files are
  232: supported;
  233: - direct access files support is added. Currenlty, these files can only be used
  234: in formatted mode;
  235: - virtual variables are now writte in UTF-8 and all special characters
  236: in string are escaped;
  237: - all formatted files are now converted into UTF-8;
  238: - all file and unix socket names created by RPL/2 are now UTF-8 compliant;
  239: - RPL/2 tools (rpliconv, rplfile, rplpp and rplconvert) are now checked before
  240: each execution (md5 and sha1 sums) to enhance security. If one of these tools
  241: have been modified between RPL/2 compilation and current execution, RPL/2 aborts
  242: on a non recoverable system error;
  243: - openssl and sqlite3 libraries are added;
  244: - RPL_HOME env variable is added. When RPL/2 is called from librpl, this
  245: variable indicates RPL/2 root directory. If it is not set, root path
  246: is given by configure script (d_exec_path);
  247: * Thu Mar 03 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.11 (RPL/2)
  248: - configure.in and makefile.am's are modified to add Cygwin support. Interix

  251: - TeX files are now written in UTF-8 even default locale differs;
  252: - minor bug is fixed in ->STR (escaped characters);
  253: - minor bug is fixed in ->Q intrinsic. Resultat is returned as integer
  254: fraction intead real one;
  255: - SIGN now returns (0,0) instead (nan,nan) when complex argument is null;
  256: - Makefile.am are modified to authorize parallel builds;
  257: - minor bug is fixed in CR intrinsic. CR sends a carriage return to printer
  258: and writes warning to standard output;
  259: * Wed Feb 10 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.10 (RPL/2)
  260: - escape codes are now converted in formateur(), not in recherche_type() to
  261: avoid a minor bug in EDIT and VISIT intrinsics;
  262: - minor bug is fixed in formateur_reel();
  263: - file-5.03 is patched to avoid bus error on systems that require memory
  264: alignment;
  265: - minor bug is fixed in evaluation(). Error returned by RPL/C external functions
  266: were able to be avoided by evaluation routine.

  280: * Fri Jan 08 2010 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.8 (RPL/2)
  281: - minor bug is fixed in DAEMON intrinsic. When a program was daemonized, all
  282: signals sent to main process were not caught because DAEMON did not replace
  283: old pid by new one;
  284: - major bug is fixed in IFERR/THEN/ELSE/END. Only occurs in expression
  285: evaluation when an error is reported from a subroutine in another subroutine.
  286: For example, error was not caught in following program when it is executed with
  287: -p option :
  288:     TEST << iferr TEST2 then end >>
  289:     TEST2 << 0 inv >>
  290: - major bug is fixed in variable management. Some local variables were
  291: seen as global ones;
  292: - major bug is fixed in rplcore. Rplcore entered in dead lock when
  293: script file contains a multibyte character;
  294: - IN intrinsic is added;
  295: - major bug is fixed in SAME intrinsic : << 1 >> DUP SAME and 'E' DUP SAME
  296: returned false ;
  297: - major bug is fixed in RETURN intrinsic. It only occurs in compiled
  298: programs;
  299: - major bug is fixed in NEG intrinsic. NEG did not make a copy of its arguments;
  300: - regression is fixed in compilation(). "\\" was analysed as '"' '\' '\"' and

  302: - some bugs have been fixed in file management;
  303: - RPL/2 can now be run on EBCDIC systems (OS/390);
  304: - major bug is fixed in -A command line option (NULL character is missing);
  305: - minor bug is fixed in rpliconv and RECODE intrinsic. All transliterations are
  306: made by blocks (1024 bytes). When an incomplete multibyte sequence is
  307: encountered at end of block, subroutine aborts with an execution error;
  308: - major bug is fixed in OPEN (TCP/IPv4 sockets).
  309: * Mon Nov 30 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.7 (RPL/2)
  310: - DISP now locks stdout;
  311: - rpliconv is added to replace standard iconv provided by operating system.
  312: Indeed, conversion between different encodages requires transliteration
  313: that is not offered by some iconv utility;
  314: - CURRENC and RECODE intrinsics have been written to allow strings conversions;
  315: - bug is fixed in SYSEVAL. When execvp() returns (for example when arg[0] can
  316: not be found), SYSEVAL enters in a dead lock;
  317: - fprintf is replaced by some functions that allow transliterations between
  318: locales;
  319: - '"' can now be used in strings ("\"");
  320: - iconv is called with -c in preprocessor stage. It is done to write
  321: CGI scripts with RPL/2 because locale charset is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968;
  322: - double free is fixed in liberation() (type SQL, only occurs when locale is
  323: set);
  324: - LOCALIZATION, UCASE and LCASE are added;
  325: - major bug is fixed in EXIT intrinsic that was able to return a false
  326: execution error in compiled scripts (only in DO/UNTIL and REPEAT/WHILE loops);
  327: - major bug is fixed in wrapper_instruction_intrinseque(). When intrinsic() was
  328: used in onLoading from shared library, USE was pushed on stack as algebraic
  329: expression;
  330: - libiconv is upgraded to 1.13.1;
  331: - gnuplot is upgraded to 4.2.6;
  332: - gsl is upgraded to 1.13.
  333: * Mon Sep 28 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.6 (RPL/2)
  334: - pipe() is overwritten by a macro to avoid a system error. Communication
  335: between process are done with pipes and these pipes are managed by a
  336: specific asynchrone thread. If a script try to create more threads than
  337: management thread can destroy, you can quickly achieve maximum number of
  338: opened files and pipe() shall return a system error. This macro tries to create
  339: pipes. If pipe() function returns an error, macro waits and retries. If
  340: number of retries is greater than a hardcoded value, macro returns an error;
  341: - major bug (deadlock) is fixed in process and thread management. I hope
  342: this bug shall be the last one;
  343: - major bug is fixed in DET intrinsic (determinant was computed without LU
  344: diagonalization);
  345: - SWAPCNTXT is added;
  346: - minor bug is fixed in Makefile.am (licences rule).
  347: * Wed Sep 09 2009 BERTRAND Joël <rpl@systella.fr> rpl-4.0.5 (RPL/2)
  348: - some bugfixes are added in process management;
  349: - all process management is rewritten to avoid usage of defunct process
  350: or thread number;
  351: - new major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. Sometimes, when retrait_thread()
  352: was called before a pending interruption5 (SIGFSTOP), signal handler uses
  353: a freed semaphore and corrupts heap;
  354: - CLRERR is added to erase previous errors;
  355: - ERRN and ERRM return exception message and number;
  356: - major bug is fixed in interruptions.c. All signal are now bufferised
  357: when semaphore_liste_threads is null to avoid deadlock. This bug only
  358: occured when STOP was sent to a dying thread or process (when this thread or
  359: process was running retrait_thread());

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

  410: - minor bug is fixed in WRITE (SIGPIPE is ignored to catch error without
  411: process termination);
  412: - major bug is fixed in FUSE intrinsic (FUSE kills itself and do not kill
  413: its parent);
  414: - a mutex to protect fork() syscall is added;
  415: - all mutexes are unlocked after fork() in DETACH;

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

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

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

  505: that all programs that worked with old SQL intrinsic can now work with
  506: SQLQUERY. With all new programs, you can open a real connection to databases;
  507: - NRPROC is added. This new intrinsic is used to catch error from child
  508: process. Without NRPROC, any errors returned by child process cause
  509: main process to abort;
  510: - SPAWN is added. This new intrinsic is used to launch a new thread (DETACH
  511: starts a new process). There are no mutexes in RPL/2 because all spawned process
  512: use specific context. Nevertheless, shared variables and associated mutexes
  513: should be added;
  514: - -D flag and DAEMONIZE intrinsic have been added;
  515: - REPEAT, THEN, ELSE and ELSEIF intrinsics are rewritten to be more efficient;

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

 1191: fine...);
 1192: - NOT is not correctly formatted in formateur.c:
 1193: Z NOT -> 'NOT Z' but 'A+Z' NOT -> 'NOT A+Z' and 'NOT Z+A' -> 'NOTZ+A'
 1194: with a NOTZ function !
 1195: * Sun Aug 10 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre7c (RPL/2)

 1198: - RPL/2 is tested with efence and valgrind;
 1199: - configure.in script is modified;
 1200: - units.c is modified to be built by gcc-3.3. I only have removed a #if 0/#endif

 1280: - SCLS is added;
 1281: - DRWS now uses COLS to draw 2D graphics;
 1282: - PPAR and SPAR are written. SPAR returns a list that contains the
 1283: size of the statistical matrix (or "UNAVALAIBLE" if there is any
 1284: statistical variable, or "DISABLED" if its type is not one of the type of
 1285: a statistical matrix.) and XCOL and YCOL parameters. Warning: [[]] SIZE
 1286: returns { 1 0 } and it is not a bug, because a null matrix contains _one_
 1287: null line ! Thus, [[]] STOS SPAR returns { { 1 0 } 1 2 };
 1288: - EXTERNAL intrinsic is added. Warning: by default, extern functions are
 1289: disabled. Arguments of EXTERNAL are case sensitive because the external
 1290: interface is written in C. { ext_sinus } EXTERNAL does not replace the list
 1291: of known external functions but add the new list to the last. { "all" }
 1292: EXTERNAL allows all external functions and { "none" } EXTERNAL removes all
 1293: external names of the known functions;
 1294: - mkrplso.in is modified.
 1295: * Sun Apr 20 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6h (RPL/2)

 1309: VISIT does not find a name in level 1;
 1310: - configure.in script is modified to add a new test (--enable-debug
 1311: flag). Configured with this fleg, RPL/2 will be built with electric-fences;
 1312: - GETR (get row[s]) and GETC (get column[s]) are added. These new instructions
 1313: extract a part of a matrix. Syntax: [[ 1 2 3 ][ 2 3 4 ]] { 1 } GETR or
 1314: 'MATRIX' { 2 2 3 } GETR;
 1315: - LOGSCALE intrinsic is improved and now, it can be used as
 1316: { "main" "auxiliary" X Y } LOGSCALE;
 1317: - SCALE intrinsic is used to fix the limits of a graphic. Its syntax is the
 1318: same than AXES:
 1319: { { 60 "ticsonly" 2 } { "automatic" "ticsonly" 10 } } axes
 1320: { "auxiliary" { 60 "ticsonly" "default" } { "automatic" } } axes
 1321: { { -10 10 } "automatic" } SCALE.
 1322: Warning, it is not possible to ask a logarithmic scale with this intrinsic
 1323: because it changes only the dimension of the screen. To have a logarithmic
 1324: scale, you must use LOGSCALE intrinsic:
 1325: { X } LOGSCALE gives a semi-log screen, { "auxiliary" X Y } gives a log-log
 1326: screen on second scale;
 1327: - { X X } autoscale and { Y Y } logscale are now invalid;
 1328: - *D is added (depth multiplication, for 3D graphics);
 1329: - a new intrinsic (*S) is added. It changes the scale of a graphic (X, Y
 1330: and Z axes). The result of *S is the same than DUP DUP *H *W *D;
 1331: - a major bug is fixed in GETI instrinsic when it is used with a name
 1332: that contains a matrix or a vector (bad upper bounds conditions in
 1333: incrementation);
 1334: - DISP intrinsic now uses the 33-th flag. When it is not set
 1335: (default), a final carriage return is sent to the terminal;
 1336: - AXES intrinsic only takes a list that can contains the keywork
 1337: "main" or "auxiliary". Before this modification, this keyword was in
 1338: the first stack level;
 1339: - vim syntax file is upgraded;
 1340: - in appel_gnuplot(), stdin is closed when gnuplot is called with -raise
 1341: option;
 1342: - LAST is now disabled in the main loop of INT intrinsic;
 1343: - expm1 and lnp1 are rewritten to use expm1 and log1p from math.h.
 1344: * Sun Apr 6 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6f (RPL/2)
 1345: - a major bug is fixed in evaluation() subroutine. It occurs with DRAW
 1346: intrinsic when the equation cannot be evaluated (for example 'SIN(X)/X'
 1347: in 0);
 1348: - LAST is disabled in the main loop of DRAW intrinsic;
 1349: - a major bug is fixed in DRAW intrinsic. When an error occurs in the
 1350: evaluation of an equation, the system stack is returned corrupted to the
 1351: sequencer;
 1352: - the same minor bug is fixed in FOR and START. It only occurs when the limits
 1353: of a loop are not integer or real.
 1354: * Sun Mar 31 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6e (RPL/2)
 1355: - the compilation stage aborts with an error message when two definitions
 1356: have the same name. To improve the compilation() subroutine, I have to
 1357: add some tests in gestion_variables.c;
 1358: - recherche_type() subroutine ad some other connex subroutines are improved.
 1359: Now, some syntax errors about object are caught and do not perform sequencer
 1360: hangup;
 1361: - readline is upgraded (minor compilation bug with recent gcc);
 1362: - Makefile.am's and configure.in scripts are improved.
 1363: * Fri Mar 14 2003 BERTRAND Joël <rpl2@systella.fr> rpl-4.00pre6d (RPL/2)
 1364: - DRWS intrinsic is written. Two datastyles are associated: SCATTER (2D
 1365: and 3D) and HISTOGRAM (only 2D, but 3 columns are accepted, the third shown
 1366: the boxwidth, 1 by default);
 1367: - recherche_type() is rewritten to be faster;
 1368: - gsl is upgraded (release 1.3);
 1369: - ncurses is upgraded and patched (release 5.3);
 1370: - recherche_instruction_suivante() is fixed (string research with included
 1371: '"') and rewritten to be faster;

 1385: of a 3D-graphic (for example 'SIN(R)/R' with 'R=SQRT(X**2+Y**2)' in X=0 and
 1386: Y=0), no graph was procuced (it results from a bug in gnuplot, and this fix
 1387: is a quick and dirty workaround...);
 1388: - RETURN intrinsic is modified to fix a trouble in interactive mode;
 1389: - rplconvert is improved.

 1455: found by configure are used in rpltypes.h (rplconfig.h is written by configure);
 1456: - rdynamic flag is added in src/Makefile.am. This flag is used in the first
 1457: makefile, but forgotten in the new process;
 1458: - Flag 31 is tested before saving any arguments in bibliotheques_externes.c;
 1459: - POS can now be used on lists;

 1471: deleted too!;
 1472: - configure script is improved (and it seems to be good ;-) );
 1473: - An --disable-experimental flag is added to the configure script. Thus, even
 1474: if you compile a beta release, you can compile a stable RPL/2;
 1475: - new syntax and ftplugin written for vim 6.0.

 1488: that the RPL/2 seqencer must stop and must give a prompt. This
 1489: signal is an asynchonous "HALT" command;
 1490: - SIGINT (CTRL+C) variables stack corruption is fixed;
 1491: - IFERR seems to be fixed (in equation evaluation routine);
 1492: - Memory leak is fixed (ADR object type);

 1499: i586, i686, K6, K7, alpha ev4, alpha ev5, alpha ev56, alpha ev6, sparc v7,
 1500: sparc v8 and sparc v9. Compilation of RPL/2 on my Sun Sparc 2 (sun4c,
 1501: CPU 4/75, 64 MB, 40 MHz with FPU) is a very great mission :
 1502: 
 1503: Newton:[~/rpl/rpl] > time make install
 1504: ...
 1505: real    338m39.623s
 1506: user    324m32.290s

 1509: 
 1510: I don't know if you will compile this language on old worstations, but
 1511: it is usable ;-) ;
 1512: - SYSEVAL is improved. An external program can be called without any shell.
