* Changes to Extended Tcl *
===============================================================================
13 Nov 91: Extended Tcl 6.1a released
===============================================================================
20 Nov 91:
o Fixed use of invalid variable when reporting an error in
test/unixcmds.test.
o Changed temporary files names so they are 14 characters or less in
test/chmod.test.
o Changed TCL_MAN_SECTION for SCO Unix to be "TCL" instead of "tcl".
o Modified src/main.c to be independent of the internal Tcl include files.
o Changed ar to not use the 'u' option in makes.
o For ucbsrc, delete the objects explicitly from libtcl.a, since sometimes
the modified version tclBasic.o was not replacing the standard version.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
29 Nov 91:
o Added configuration section for older versions of SunOS.
o Added an strtoul replacement for HP/UX, since their version accepts
negative numbers.
o Converted the global tclxPatchlevel from a string to an int.
o Modified test for chmod +t, since this will actually change the file mode
if run as root. Changed chown tests to compare file group id against the
effective group id, in case tests are run with the effective group id
changed.
o Fixed bad error message from id command when user or group name does not
exist.
o Made tclSignalReceived a external flag that can be checked by C code to
determine if signal a signal is pending.
o Corrected the spelling of the variable 'signalReceived' that is set when
trap code is by a signal (signal command). (*POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*)
o Changed code in src/createExtd.c that is supposed to force math error to
be included so that an optimizer doesn't decide to throw away the external
reference.
o Modified commandloop to reset command buffer when a signal is received,
enabling interrupting the input of multi-line commands.
o Fixed problem with math error tests were pow did not return an error on
some systems.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
29 Nov 91: tests/all, tests/fmath.test, tests/math.test, tests/loop.test,
tests/filescan.test
o Converted to current test support routines: fmath.test, math.test and
loop.test.
o Removed tests/testutil.test, as its no longer needed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

configuration option.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Dec 91:
o Updated showproc.tcl with Lance Ellinghouse's improved version that dumps
default argument info.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 Dec 91:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 Jan 92:
o Fixed link and unlink commands to do tilde substitution.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9 Jan 92:
o Fixed problem with Boyer-Moore optimization causing scanfile to fail
matches when the regular expression contains ORs (|).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 Jan 92:
o Convert execvp to execl to support passing arguments as a list, rather than
a series of parameters. Added a execvp to the Tcl procedure library to
provide backwards compatibility.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11 Jan 92: man/TclX.man
o Changes to make some manual sections more readable.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13 Feb 92:
o Added `procs' option to cmdtrace that traces procedure calls only.
o Added `-nocomplain' flag to unlink command.
o Changed package index structure so the file name is not included in the
index file.

o Merged in changes to support A/UX 2.01 (supplied by Parag Patel)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15 Feb 92:
o Modified keylget to return a list of keyes in a keyed list if no field
name is spefieied. Added Tcl_GetKeyedListKeys to support this operation.
o Added keyed list sub field support (i.e. FOO.BAZ).
o Added type attribute to the values returned by the fstat command to give
it the same functionality as the Tcl6.2 file command.
o Update help files based on the ucb manual pages and added help for
standard built-in variables.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16 Feb 92:
o Modified install script to unlink manual pages before it links to new ones.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23 Feb 92:
o Moved the external declaration of variables set by the startup code
to tclExtended.h.
o Made startup more modular to support applications like Tk. Made setting
of globals variables for infox in the main optional. If not set, start up
sets them to a default. (All backwards compatible).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Mar 92:
o Added -sym option to link command to support symbolic links.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 Mar 92:
o Modified keylset to take multiple keyword/value pairs.

don't work right with some compilers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 Mar 92:
o Added catopen, catgets and catclose commands.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11 Mar 92:
o Combined TclShell.man and tcl.tlib.man with TclX.man to put all

time.h might be included in tclExtdInt.h.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15 Apr 92:

offset in `struct tm'.
o Deleted test from tests/clock.test that returned a different result in
a different timezone.

o Fixed search path so it does not return an error when a path contains
an invalid ~user.
o Fixed keyedlists from occasionally returning incorrect error with no
error message when adding a field to an empty list.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 Jun 92:
o Update chmod tests to not make assumptions about what group id a file
as created with.
o Added support for implementations that indicate floating point errors from
math functions by returning not-a-number, rather than calling matherr.
o Changed cindex, crange, csubstr and replicate to take integer
expresssions.
o Improved documentation of Tcl_ShellEnvInit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14 Jun 92:
o Changed tclEdtdInt.h to use declare command executors as ANSI prototypes
instead of being of type Tcl_CmdProc, since this broke a DEC compiler.
o Fixed loop command so that the control variable is left at its
terminating value, not the previous value.
o Fixed Tcl_Startup so if used the defaultFile passed in, rather than
assuming the compiled default value.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
28 Jun 92:
o Fixed bug where a SIGINTR will sometimes cause the command loop to panic.
o To speed up package library index loading, changed the .tndx file to only
contain data, not commands to be sourced. Added Tcl procedure to convert
Ousterhout-style tclIndex files into package libraries.
o Fixed problem with cmdtrace of procedures that have empty bodies. Also
simplified and optimized the code for tracing procedures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12 Jul 92:
o Added profile command and profrep procedure.
o Changed alarm command to take floating point seconds and use setitimer
when available.
o Moved the system dependent parts of Config.mk to seperate files in a
directory called config. A #define in Config.mk now indicates which file
to use.
o Droped the -i flag from the chmod command for compatibility with Tcl open
command changes. Octal numbers must be prefixed with a "0".
*** Potential compatibility problem ***
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
31 Jul 92:
o Fix max command so it works for negative numbers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9 Aug 92:
o Changed build of ucbsrc and tkSupport so that the modified files are
built from the original files using sed.
o Imporved autoloading, including not searching path if file name contains
directories. Demand_load searchs "auto_path" if it can't find the proc
anywhere else, this should help Tk programs that dynamicly add directories
to the variable. This code moved to C to speed it up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12 Aug 92:
o Made message catalog table process global, so a message catalog handle
is valid in all interpreters in a process.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21 Aug 92:
o Added support for building a wish with signals.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 Sept 92:
o Converted loading of Tcl library indexes from Tcl to C to speed up these
operations.
o Changed fcntl attributes to be named line the Posix standards: NDELAY is
changed to NONBLOCK and CLEXEC to CLOEXEC. Fcntl nolonger returns a list
of current values on query, instead individule values may be queried.
This makes it easier to use in the normal case and better allows for
future expansion. (*POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 Sept 92:
o Changed the signal command to return a keyed list for signal state query.
Include the command associated with signals that are "trap". This makes
it easier to restore the state of signals that you change.
(*POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7 Sept 92:
o Automatically build a Tk .tlib.
o Added installation of Extended Tk to the install script.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11 Sept 92:
o Changed select to check read stdio buffers for pending data. This way
the files do not have to be unbuffered.
o Added ability to get a list of keys for a subfield to function
Tcl_GetKeyedListKeys. This necessitated adding a parameter.
(*POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*)
o Added kelykeys command to return lists of keys from a keyed list.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14 Sept 92:
o Changed the fstat command to make it easier to use and more consistent
with the file command. This forced a syntax chang for fstat commands
were the data is returned in an array variable.
(*POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*)
o Added tty option to fstat (interface to isatty).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20 Sept 92:
o Changed package library loading so that duplicate package names found in
a path are loaded.
o Added the -location options to the packages command.
o Changed write_file to take multiple strings.
o Added lvarcat command.
o Reorganized Makefiles to simplify and fix some make problems.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Oct 92:
o Wait command was changed to take only one pid. This is in preparation
for supporting full waitpid functionality once the support has been
added to UCB Tcl. (*POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Oct 92:
o Reorganized help categories.
o Changed floating point commands to always return floating point numbers
without lose of precision or demotion to integer.
o Patch the UCB tclExpr.c file to return doubles without lose of precision.
This is temporary until a fix is povided in the UCB code.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 Oct 92:
o Fixed behavior of Posix signals and SIGCHLD.
o Added block and unblock options.
o Added return of block state in the get option.
o Fixed potential bug in lrmdup.
o Process signals when encountered in the command loop rather than just clear
them.
o Stored the "wrong # args: " string in a single global variable to save
memory rather than repeating in each command.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 Oct 92:
o Fixed bug in for_recursive_glob with continue and break not working as
expected.
o Delete chamge bar macros when installing manual pages.
o Changed startup so if no longer looks for a local TCLDEFAULT file. Initial
tests are now run by setting the environment variable.
o Fixed bug in chmod were set permissions for two difference classes (u,g,o)
with = in the same command did not work.
o Changed help and buildhelp.tcl so that multiple brief files are allowed
(extension .brf).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7 Oct 92:
o Signal handling changed so that if multiple signals are received before
before they are handle and if trap code is associated with that signal,
then the trap code will be run once for every signal received.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8 Oct 92:
o Recoded assign_fields to use upvar.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11 Oct 92:
o Modified install script to purge the target help tree before installing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12 Oct 92:

the C startup routines.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16 Nov 92:
o Only set SIGINT to cause an error if the Tcl shell or wish is reading
commands from stdin. (*POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*)

11 Jul 94:
o Always install tclXmain++.C and tkXmain++.C, even if tcl++.h support is
not built in.
o Due to a difficult to fix bug, the profrep stack depth summary option
has been removed. This changes the calling sequence of profrep.
(*POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*)
===============================================================================
16 Jul 94: Released TclX7.3b.
===============================================================================
25 Jul 94:
o Set errorInfo if initialization fails.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

an unknown command or other error.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
27 Dec 94:
o Use clock_t, off_t instead of assuming long.

Change provided by Marco Nijdam <marco@west.nl>.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25 Jun 95:
o Changes for Tcl 7.4b4 and Tk 4.0b4.

doesn't exist and "dirs" to return rather than echo the stack. Changes
based on code submitted by Dave Mielke <davem@bnr.ca>.
o Added support in the dup command to bind an open file number to a Tcl file
handle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30 Jun 95:
o Changed auto_load to not reload all library indexes when new directories

Solaris has pipes open RDWR.
o Fix problems with convertclock on Solaris.
===============================================================================
2 Jul 95: Released TclX 7.4a-beta5.
===============================================================================
3 Jul 95:
o Added -reuseaddr option to server_create command.
o Added server_cntl command.
o Added cmdtrace command option. This is a callback that is called on
every traced command executed.
o Added ability to call TclX_Init after Tcl_Init has been called and TkX_Init
after Tk_Init. This gives the option of using the TclX runtime in
conjunction with the standard Tcl/Tk runtime. It is still recommended
to only use the TclX runtime, but this change adds flexibility.
o Renamed the SYSLIBS files to be tclxlibs.mk and tkxlibs.mk. These are
now install in the lib directories, as they are architecturally
dependent.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16 Jul 95:
o Fixed several protability issues.
o Updated document on building shared libraries.
o Added INSTALL_ROOT to support installation on AFS systems.
===============================================================================

===============================================================================
17 Jul 95:
o Changed ftruncate command to work with chsize.
o Deprecated the cexpand command, as the functionality is available from
the new Tcl subst command. A proc is provided for compatibility.
===============================================================================
24 Jul 95: Released TclX 7.4a.
===============================================================================
o The auto-path variable was not being correctly set for Tk. This
caused tclhelp to not find the Tk help files and the standard Tk
runtime to be used.
===============================================================================
26 Jul 95: Released TclX 7.4a patch1.
===============================================================================
3 Aug 95:
o Portability chages for Encore Multimax UMAX (and probably other older SVR3
systems).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 Aug 95:
o Fixed server connect so -myport will work without -myip.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
29 Aug 95:
o Don't use -L to find libraries (except for the shlink target). This
was causing old libtcl.a files to be picked up from their installed
location.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8 Sep 95:
o Changed Makefiles to pass MAKEFLAGS via the environment, since GNU make
can't handle passing them on the command line (unlike most other makes).
===============================================================================
30 Sep 95: Released TclX 7.5a Alpha 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 Oct 95:

===============================================================================
20 Oct 95: Released TclX 7.5a Alpha 2
===============================================================================

<nijtmans@worldaccess.nl>.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
09 Feb 96:
o Integrated with Tcl 7.5 beta 1, which includes the new Tcl I/O system.
o Replaced the fmtclock, convertclock and getclock commands with
compatibility procedures that interface to the new Tcl clock command.
===============================================================================
12 Feb 96: Released TclX 7.5a Beta 1
===============================================================================
14 Feb 96:
o Changed TclX so that it now requires the standard Tcl and Tk runtimes
be available. This simplifies the code and tracking changes to Tcl
at the expense of slightly slower runtime initialization. This also
make TclX fully dynamic loadable, including the TclX tlib package
library.
o TclX_Init and TkX_Init have been renamed to Tclx_Init and Tkx_Init to
conform to the dynamic loading conventions. These routines are no longer
independent, the Tcl and Tk init routines must be called first.
o Added initialization of preliminary set of safe commands.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17 Feb 96:
o Dropped support for the C++ interfaces in tcl++.h. This file
was outdated, not documented and of limited usefulness. It was often
a source of portability problems.
o Cleaned-up the installation. More parameterization is through macros.
The master installation model is now specified though the configure script,
but symbolic links must be built by hand.
o Modified intersect3 to improve its performance, as suggested by
Ken Copeland <ken@pdsrc.hilco.com>.
o Changed lgets to return an error if the last line of a file doesn't have
a new line. This is an error as in may indicate an incomplete list.
o Changed min and max commands to support hex and octal numbers.
o Deleted the -twoids option from server_connect and server_accept. These
options were supplied for implementing procs that were compatibile with the
old TclX server_* commands.
o Removed the server_send command and made it a compatibility procedure.
Now that the Tcl I/O system uses send and recv, this function is
unnecessary. Note: the comparibility procedure doesn't support the
-dontroute and -outofband options (which had never been tested anyway).
(* potential incompatibility *)
o Use a function to set appname values returned by infox instead of global
variables. (* potential incompatibility *)
o Changed configure to use tclConfig.sh and tkConfig.sh for most
configuration information.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Mar 96:
o Added support for building shared libraries on systems where shared
library support is implemented by Tcl.
===============================================================================
2 Mar 96: Released TclX 7.5a Beta 2
===============================================================================
4 Mar 96:
o Cleaned up the runtime initialization. Renamed TclInit.tcl to be tclx.tcl
and created tkx.tcl.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 Mar 96:
o Removed socket functionality that duplicated Tcl's. Deprecated the
server_connect, server_create, server_accept and server_cntl commands.
Renamed server_info to be host_info and moved the server_cntl
functionality info the fcntl command. Compatbility with these commands
is still supported for old scripts.
o Since sockets are now required to build base Tcl, they are no longer
optional with TclX.
o Added event loop support for the TclX shell. If any event sources are
created the shell will enter an event loop at the end of the top level
script instead of exiting. Suggested by Jan Nijtmans
<nijtmans@worldaccess.nl>.
o Changed TclX version numbering scheme to append a decimal and a number
to the base Tcl version instead of a letter. This makes it compatible
with the Tcl package versioning mechanism.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13 Mar 96:
o The copyfile command now disables newline translation by default, copying
data in binary mode. A new option has been added to allow translation.
===============================================================================
13 Mar 96: Released TclX 7.5.0 Beta 3
===============================================================================
14 Mar 96:
o Added support for ITcl 2.0 from earlier TclX 7.4 based patch.
o Modified the commandloop command to support event based command input.
(* potential incompatibility *)
o Removed the implicit event loop feature of the TclX added in the previous
beta. It could lead to some hard to find problems.
o Added mainloop procedure to implement top level evant loops in the TclX
shell that are similar to wish's.
o Changed the tclx_errorHandler functionality to be consistent with bgerror.
Uncaught synchronous errors now look for a procedure named
tclx_errorHandler, rather than a variable which contains a procedure name.
For backwards compatibility, a check is still made for a variable
named tclx_errorHandler. This functionality is deprecated and scripts
should be change to use the new form.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 Apr 96:
o Added guidelines for creating a pkgIndex.tcl file for use with TclX. Build
a prototype file, pkgIndex.proto, that can be merged with other
pkgIndex.tcl files.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24 Apr 96:
o Chanced 'mkdir -path' to not return an error if the full path already
exists.
===============================================================================
25 Apr 96: Released TclX 7.5.0
===============================================================================
29 Apr 96:
o Fixed build problems with shared libraries on Solaris and HP-UX.
o Added *LIB_SPEC variables to tclx/tkxConfig.sh.
o Removed explicit support for master installation model. The same affect
can be achieved with --prefix.

with TclX.
===============================================================================

open read/write.
===============================================================================
15 Jun 96: Released TclX 7.5.2
===============================================================================
6 Jul 96:
o Fixed bug in loading ITcl tclIndex files.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
27 Jul 96:

===============================================================================
27 Jul 96: Released TclX 7.5.3 - alpha 1 (Win32 alpha release)
===============================================================================
8 Aug 96:
o The runtime now installs under /usr/local/lib/{tclX,tkX} by default.
(Hi Don).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16 Aug 96:
o Added support for ITcl namespaces to the profile command. Change supplied
by Christopher Hylands <cxh@EECS.Berkeley.EDU>.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20 Aug 96:
o Search for the TclX init files and library directories in the same manner
as Tcl/Tk. This removes the tclx/tkx_library_env, tclx/tkx_init libraries
Tcl variables. This removes some of the flexability, but makes it
consistent with Tcl/Tk and simplifies Win32 port.
(* potential incompatibility *)
===============================================================================
17 Sep 96: Released TclX 7.6.0 Beta 1
===============================================================================
17 Sep 96:
o Added the cconcat and lcontain commands.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17 Sep 96:
o New profiler alogrithm that correctly handles certain uplevel cases.
o Added -eval option to the profile command, allowing capturing eval stacks
instead of scope stacks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 Oct 96:
o Integrated support for building both shared and static libraries at the
same time from Jan Nijtmans' <nijtmans@worldaccess.nl> TclX plus patch.
o Deprecated the mkdir, rmdir, unlink and frename commands in favor of the
new file subcommands. Compatability with these commands is still supported
for old scripts via procedures in the TclX library.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19 Oct 96:
o Modified to build pkgIndex.tcl files and install them so that Tcl
auto_loading will find them.
o Removed --arch configure option. With new pkgIndex.tcl changes, its not
much good unless Tcl and Tk supported it.
===============================================================================
20 Oct 96: Released TclX 7.6.0 Beta 2
===============================================================================
15 Nov 96:
o Major clean up of shared library build, including fixes from Jan Nijtmans'
<nijtmans@worldaccess.nl> TclX plus patch.
o More work on Windows port, including make from a single makefile and
install rules.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17 Nov 96:
o pkgIndex.tcl files now works relative to $dir, so they can be moved.
o libtclx and libtkx now use the same alogrithm for naming that includes the
version number as Tcl and Tk.
===============================================================================
20 Nov 96: Released TclX 7.6.0, including Win 95/NT binary distribution.
===============================================================================

17 Dec 96:
o Fixed bug that caused some scanmatch regular expression to fail to match
due to problems with the BoyerMoore pre-parse.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

dup-ing and open file. Supplied by Alan Dewar <alan@calgary.hp.com>.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01 May 97:
o More than 50% of the commands provided by Extended Tcl have been rewritten
to use the new object system.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11 May 97:
o TclX_ErrorExit now has a description field that says why the exit path
was taken, making startup failures easier to debug.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
06 Jun 97:
o Fixed frename compat function to overwrite existing files.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13 Jun 97:
o Converted more commands to object system.

17 Jun 97: Re-releases TclX 8.0.0 Beta 1 due to mangled patch.
===============================================================================
04 Jul 97:
o Converted all commands that can be converted to work with binary data;
documented those that don't support binary data.
o Modified signals to be better behaved with multiple interpreters.
Thanks to Viktor Dukhovni <viktor@esm.com> for the patch.
o Fix trap signal handler overwriting interp result.
o Modified the system command to take multiple arguments and concat them
into a single command string.
o Deprecated the copyfile command in favor of the fcopy command.
Compatability with copyfile is still supported for old scripts via a
procedure in the TclX library.
o All commands now use the Tcl_Obj API.
===============================================================================
08 Jul 97: Released TclX 8.0.0 Beta 2
===============================================================================
08 Jul 97:
o Fixed core dump when signal occurs during event idle.
o The safe Tk package init function is now registered.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
09 Jul 97:
o Added try_eval command.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 Jul 97:
o Modified the profile command to correctly support namespaces.
o Modified TclX auto load libraries to work with namespaces.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17 Jul 97:
o Modified cmdtrace so that errors in callbacks are saved and returned as
command errors rather than printing them to stderr.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25 Jul 97:
o Fixed invalid keyed list key comparisons when two keys started with the
same string.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30 Jul 97:
o Removed check for last being before first in crange and csubstr. Now
returns an empty string.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7 Aug 97:
o Merged in port of 8.0.0 code to Win32. Contributed by Viktor Dukhovni
<viktor@esm.com>. Thanks Viktor!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 Aug 97:
o Removed C global tclDeleteInterpAtEnd, as it caused problems with windows
ports. Instead, a Tcl global TCLXENV(deleteInterpAtShellExit) enables
deleting the interp when the shell exits.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16 Aug 97:
o Integrated several build fixes from Jan Nijtmans' <nijtmans@worldaccess.nl>
TclX plus patch.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17 Aug 97:
o Added patch to tcl8.0/generic/tclCmdAH.c to fix memory corruption caused
by the format command.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24 Aug 97:
o Added support for generating standalone executables, with Tcl runtime in
the executable as strings. Requires Jan Nijtmans'
<nijtmans@worldaccess.nl> Tcl/Tk Plus patch.
===============================================================================
01 Sep 97: Released TclX 8.0.0 Beta 3
===============================================================================

found. Contributed by Massimo Dal Zotto <dz@cs.unitn.it>.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
22 Oct 97:
o Fixed failure to run variable traces in lvarpush, lvarpop and loop
commands.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 Nov 97:
o Changed TclX auto_loading to use a modified version of the Tcl proc
rather than defining its own command. Done to track changes in the 8.0p1
release. The loadlibindex commands can no longer handle tclIndex files.
(*POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY*)
o Removed restriction on keyedlist key containing white spaces. Keys really
shouldn't, but this check broke compatibility.

o Defined TclX_MainEx to take an interp as an argument. TclX_Main is
now a macro that calls TclX_MainEx. When passing the interp argument,
Tcl_CreateInterp() is called. This is done so TclX can use stubs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25 Jun 99:
o TclX version numbering and library naming change. The third number is
now the patch level.
===============================================================================
25 Jun 99: Released TclX 8.1.1
