    Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net> ...

    tools/mpexpand
    Added new tool. Linux/ix86 starpack containing a doctools processor.
    tools/nroff_regen
    Rewritten to use mpexpand for most
    tools/manpage_regen
    conversions. The conversion to HTML
    tools/rules/manpage.html.site
    for the website still relies on the old expand system. Writing a good formatting engine for that, even if derived from the doctools HTML engine takes more time than I want to invest right now. Rewriting the rules file instead. That was less work.
    doc/fifo.man
    The original contents were written
    doc/fifo2.man
    in a precursor format to doctools.
    doc/memchan.man
    Now rewritten to conform to the
    doc/null.man
    doctools specification.
    doc/random.man

    Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net> ...

    win/makefile.vc (MCOBJS)
    Updated to list all relevant object files.

  • 2002-10-15

    Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com> ...

    configure.in
    Changed to propagate an initial CFLAGS value to the final definition. A TEA condition (SHARED_BUILD == 1) squashed it, causing it the build system to loose the +DAportable we specify for the AS PA-RISC2.2 build host. This is a problem for _all_ TEA and TEA 2 based configure files.

  • 2002-10-02

    Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net> ...

    Makefile.in ($($(PACKAGE)stub_LIB_FILE))
    Fixed copy/paste error. Do not use AR explicitly. (MAKE_STUB_LIB): S.a.

    PREPARE
    Removed dependencies on external packages.
    tools/setversion
    tools/svfiles
    special script to hack the version information and others data into a number of files, without having to rely on external packages. The system remembers the full current text which has to change for a new version, and the pattern from which to generate the new text.
    doc/nodes
    doc/manual
    Removed old documentation
    generic/memchan.c
    Reverted Wide changes.

  • 2002-04-25

    Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net> ...

    Better handling of cygwin paths, look for package without version for generation of index.

    Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> ...

    generic/fifo.c (GetOption)
    See below, '-allocated'.
    generic/memchan.c (MemchanCmd)
    Added option '-initial-size', proposed by <Petteri.Kettunen@picker.fi>. If specified the channel will preallocate some buffer space, making the first write accesses a bit faster. (GetOption): Added '-allocated' to query the size of the allocated buffers, not the used number of bytes.

  • Tue Sep 14 00:42:11 1999

    Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> ...

    generic/memchan.c, fifo.c, counter.c
    Changed to use LTOA instead of 'sprintf'.
    generic/memchanInt.h (LTOA)
    Added definition of LTOA macro, its contents are dependent on the presence of 'ltoa'. The system uses 'sprintf' as its fallback.
    win/makefile.vc(5),.gnu, unix/configure/in, tea/configure.in
    Added check for 'ltoa', Windows assumes that the function is present.
    generic/memchanInt.h
    Added a fix sent by Jan to enable use with gcc-2.95 on Windows.

    BUILD_memchan changed to BUILD_Memchan, adapted the header and the other build directories. Have to use ./ to load the library for testing. This obsoletes LD_LIBRARY_PATH and consorts.Added 'tea' build directory the day before yesterday and asked for problem reports (Jan, Larry). These came in yesterday.

  • Sun Aug 1 16:15:23 1999

    Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> ...

    Added binary distribution for Windows, from Jan, excluded old binary distributions (for 1.9) and added a reference to the old site for this version instead.

  • Tue Jul 27 22:57:56 1999

    Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> ...

    generic/memchan.c, counter.c, init.c, fifo.c, memchanInt.h
    Removed all #ifdefs relating to Tcl 7.6, support for that version is no dropped.

  • Mon Jun 28 23:17:35 1999

    Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> ...

    unix/configure.in, Makefile.in

  • Fri Jun 11 22:40:02 1999

    Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> ...

    win/Makefile.gnu
    Got from Jan <nijtmans@wxs.nl> a binary distribution for memchan, compiled with Cygwin B20.1 (-mno-cygwin), and the Makefile used to do that. Assorted little changes to 'mc.rc' too.

  • Wed May 26 00:17:18 1999

    Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> ...

    tests/fifo.test
    Added test suite for 'fifo's.
    unix/pkgIndex.tcl
    Added new command to the index.
    doc/nodes/cmds.node
    Added documentation for 'fifo'.
    generic/fifo.c
    New file, new channel type. Like memchan in memory, but access is done fifo-like (first in/first out). Seeking is not possible. Like a socket or a pipe, but in memory.

  • Tue May 25 18:35:24 1999

    Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> ...

    generic/memchanInt.h

    unix/Makefile.in
    See below.
    win/makefile.vc(5)

    Moved declarations and initialization code into separate files (memchanInt.h, init.c).
    doc/nodes/cmds.node
    Added description of the provided command.

  • Tue May 11 22:29:18 1999

    ---------------- Ready to release 1.7 --------------------

  • Wed Mar 24 13:15:36 1999

    Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> ...

    win/pkgIndex.tcl
    Separate package index, no way to use one DLL for all versions of tcl. Stubs no help ?
    unix/configure.in, unix/Makefile.in
    Added all necessary code to detect and use stubs appropriately.
    unix/pkgIndex.tcl.in
    Added code to check package dependency on tcl version, which is dependent on the usage of stubs too.

  • Mon Mar 22 09:57:05 1999

    Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> ...

    memchan.c
    Started to work on the changes required by 8.1 and the new stub-mechanism.
    configure.in (TCL_LIB/INCLUDE_DIR)
    Added 8.0.4 and 8.0.5 to the list of paths to search.

  • Sun Dec 20 19:54:08 1998

    Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> ...

    memchan.c
    Changed definition of panic to allow co-existence with tcl8.0.4+. Got information about problems from a beta-tester of the new plus-patches.

  • Wed Sep 30 15:43:42 1998

    Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> ...

    configure.in (TCL_LIB/INCLUDE_DIR)
    Added some additional intelligence: Setting one of the variables, but not the other causes automatic definition of the missing part with a value derived from the defined directory. Suggested by Larry Virden. Added 8.0.3 to the paths to search. Added $exec_prefix/lib to the paths to search for the tcl-library.

  • Fri Jun 19 22:59:18 1998

    Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> ...

    configure.in
    Fixed a bug noted by David Herron <davidh@crl.com>. From its mail: > In the section that checks for the TCL library there > is a loop looking for different library extensions. > In my case it needs to match the ".so.*" case of > the loop, but it doesn't. > > Changing the test to read as follows fixes the problem. > > if test -f $dir/libtcl$version$libsuff; then > memchan_cv_lib_TCL_LIB="-L$dir -ltcl$version" > TCL_LIB_DIR="$dir" > fi > > The difference is removal of the quote marks around > the file name. This allows the "*" to be evaluated > by the shell & find the file name. > > Another change that would be convenient is, in > the 'for version in ...' part, to add "80" to > the list of choices. With (at least) tcl8.0pl2 > on FreeBSD the library is "libtcl80.so.1.0" and > since the configure script only looks for "libtcl8.0" > it is not found again because of that.

  • Sat Jun 13 14:27:10 1998

    Andreas Kupries <a.kupries@westend.com> ...

    memchan.c (channelType)
    Updated to reflect structure change from Tcl 8.0 to Tcl 8.1.

    Bag of changes to adapt this code to the new notifier system of 8.0b1. Will now run either with 7.6 or 8.0b1. The decision is made at compile time.
    PREPARE
    adapted to new 'makedist' and interface.

  • Thu Feb 27 21:49:48 1997

    Andreas Kupries <aku@bluepeak.westend.com> ...

    memchan.c
    added prototypes missed by MSVC++.

  • Sat Feb 15 20:09:58 1997

    Andreas Kupries <aku@bluepeak.westend.com> ...

    memchan.c
    integrated changes required to compile cleanly on windows.
    INSTALL
    updated to contain info for compilation on Windows as well.

    Added 'makefile.vc' for compilation on Windows. The required 'pkgIndex.win' is generated by 'PREPARE' from 'pkgIndex.tcl.in'.

    Rewrote generation of distribution (PREPARE, make-tape). 'DESCRIPTION' now central point for version information. The data obtained from it is placed into all relevant files at distribution time (README, LSM, ...), Note
    'PREPARE' is an file internal to the package. It contains tcl-code preparing the package for distribution (removing unofficial and/or internal files, manpage generation, ...). It is not part of the distribution however.

  • Mon Jan 13 22:21:48 1997

    Andreas Kupries <aku@bluepeak.westend.com> ...

    INSTALL
    updated to reflect new search order and versions.
    Makefile.in
    Removed now superfluous variables.
    configure.in
    don't use -lsocket, -lm. Why there they included anyway ?
    configure.in (line 259)
    don't bother with -ltclX.Y if not running under AIX.
    configure.in
    lowest possible tcl version is 7.6, not 7.5. Added recognition of 8.0 versions.
    configure.in
    changed search order: sibling directories before <prefix> paths. But commandline options overide all.

  • Thu Dec 5 19:02:06 1996

    Andreas Kupries <aku@bluepeak.westend.com> ...
