        * Lib/test/{test_b1.py,test_grammar.py}: cope with 'math' not
        existing; don't fail if overflow check doesn't work

        * Mac/*: too many changes to log; we now support about 5 compilers
        (Think C, MPW, MPW with Symantec C, CodeWarrior 68K, CodeWarrior
        PPC)

        * Misc/python-mode.el: cope with triple-quoted strings (sez Barry)

        loop fails

        * Modules/Setup.in: move posix, signal, thread and gl permanently
        ahead of #*noconfig*, to avoid confusion

Mon Feb 20 13:48:50 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Objects/stringobject.c (formatstring): allow string without
        formats and dictionary argument

        number to the float power

        * Python/ceval.c (eval_code): fix SystemError in try-finally when
        a class exception was raised

        * Demo/stdwin/python.py, Lib/stdwin/wdbframewin.py, Lib/pdb.py,
        Lib/tb.py, Lib/traceback.py: cope with class exceptions when
        printing or formatting them (R Lindsay Todd)

        * Doc/libshelve.tex: added/reorganized list of restrictions

        * Doc/libsocket.tex: added quick list of new exported symbols

        * Demo/sockets/{mcast.py,broadcast.py}: don't use modules SOCKET
        or IN -- all symbols are now exported by the socket module itself

        * Modules/socketmodule.c (initsocket): added INADDR_* symbols

        * Include/object.h: added missing decls for PyObject_IsTrue() and
        PyCallable_Check()

Wed Feb 15 14:43:24 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Python/compile.c (com_addopname): use = instead of == for
        assignment

        __VERSION__

        * Doc/{lib.tex,libpickle.tex,libcopy.tex,libshelve.tex}:
        documented some new modules (cheaply -- by slightly reformatting
        their __doc__ strings)

        * Lib/builtin.py: got rid of it

        * Doc/tut.tex: added sections on new stuff in release 1.2

        * Doc/libsignal.tex: added a lot more details about how this
        works.

Tue Feb 14 13:57:28 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Python/marshal.c (w_object): change long i, n to int -- should
        solve GCC problems on DEC Alpha (Paul Sijben)

        * Python/{ceval.c,bltinmodule.c}: call __import__ with 4
        arguments: modulename, globals, locals, list_of_from_names_or_None
        (for Ken Manheimer)

        * Python/ceval.c (eval_code): call locals_2_fast before doing
        import from (Jim Roskind)

========================================
==> Release 1.2 BETA 3 (13 Feb 1995) <==
========================================

Mon Feb 13 12:39:16 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * README: removed remark on NeXT and -posix since this is now done
        by configure

        * Mac/config.c, Modules/config.c.in (getversion): tack compiler
        name and version (where known) onto version string

        * Objects/floatobject.c: work-around for NeXT Sparc 3.3 prerelease
        (Barry Warsaw)

        * Objects/object.c (newvarobject), Include/objimpl.h: make size
        argument signed

        * Include/allobjects.h, several other files: introduce
        Py_CHARMASK(c) which expands to c&0xff, or just c if characters
        are unsigned.  This should fix problems with passing negative
        values to isspace() and friends for characters > 0x7f on systems
        where 'char' is signed

Thu Feb  9 10:26:21 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        Fulton)

Wed Feb  8 15:48:24 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Python/bltinmodule.c (do_pow), Objects/floatobject.c
        (float_pow): move check for negative float to the float power to
        the pow() function, so negative float to the integer power can be
        implemented correctly (after coercion to float)

Tue Feb  7 10:14:34 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Python/import.c (init_frozen): make it non-static, so
        frozenmain.c can use it.  Also remove the reference to
        frozenmain.o from Python/Makefile.in

        * Doc/{ref6.tex,ref7.tex} (raise, except): describe classes and
        instances used as exceptions (R Lindsay Todd)

        * Lib/test/test_exceptions.py: added tests for raising classes (R
        Lindsay Todd)

        * Python/ceval.c (exec_statement): DECREF result of run_string
        (Mark Lutz)

        * Modules/cursesmodule.c: patches to clear errors between failing

        * Lib/bdb.py (format_stack_entry): append () to function name if
        no __args__

        * Lib/pdb.py (print_stack_entry): default prompt_prefix is
        line_prefix, and use the default everywhere

Thu Feb  2 15:27:15 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Python/pythonrun.c (print_error): print class name for
        exceptions that are classes (R Lindsay Todd)

        * Modules/tkintermodule.c: use PyCallable_Check instead of
        manually checking for some callable types for callbacks; export
        TK_VERSION and TCL_VERSION strings; a few Tk 4.0 specific changes

        * Modules/socketmodule.c (initsocket): added a long list of socket
        related constants -- better here than in a separate python module,
        because the values change per system (R Lindsay Todd)

        * Doc/{lib.tex,libsignal.tex}: added documentation for signal
        module (Andrew Kuchling)

Tue Jan 31 13:06:59 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Include/pythonrun.h: remove declaration of (now static)
        run_pyc_file

        * Modules/posixmodule.c (posix_utime): correct typo in utime()
        stub

Tue Jan 31 11:02:00 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@guppie.cwi.nl>

        * Modules/{pwdmodule.c,grpmodule.c} (mkpwent, mkgrent): NeXT
        specific patch for little endian machines where the uid and gid
        are in the wrong place in the structure (Mike Carlton)

Mon Jan 30 16:17:33 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * configure.in: add -posix to definition of CC when detecting Next

Mon Jan 30 13:32:07 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@guppie.cwi.nl>

        * Mac/*: not clearly logged are lots of changes to the Mac
        specific modules, e.g. reworking of the interrupt detection code
        and general reorganization of macglue.[ch], as well as support for
        modules generated by "bgen" (see Demo/bgen), and subsequent
        removal of the resource and sound interfaces from MacOS (since
        they now have their own, complete, generated interface), and also
        lots of development on the mactcp and macfs front

        * Modules/stdwinmodule.c (initstdwin): disable python's own event
        processing on the mac as soon as stdwin is imported; removed some
        unused variables

        * Parser/intrcheck.c: moved all mac specific stuff to
        Mac/macglue.c

        * Python/pythonrun.c (goaway): Think C mod to suppress pausing at

        * Objects/listobject.c: round up item count on resize to improve
        realloc performance (dramatic effect in the Mac with Think C!)

        * Include/{rename2.h,methodobject.h}, Objects/methodobject.c:
        added support for chaining method lists: Py_FindMethodInChain

Thu Jan 26 12:59:51 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@guppie.cwi.nl>

        * Python/Makefile.in: removed frozenmain.o from OBJS -- it has no
        business being in libPython.a.  (Still build it though.)

Thu Jan 26 00:42:29 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@zeus.cwi.nl>

        * Lib/mhlib.py: fix bogus test for matching regex

        * stdwinmodule.c: (re)move some unused variables

        * Python/pythonrun.c (run_pyc_file): made static
        (fatal): loop forever on Mac, so error message remains visible

        * Python/import.c (doneimport): no need to dictclear() the
        module's dictionary (that's done automatically when the module is
        actually deleted)

        * Objects/classobject.c (instancebinop): removed unused variables

        * Objects/moduleobject.c (module_dealloc): explicitly erase a
        module's dictionary when the module object disappears -- this was
        formerly done in import's doneimport()

        * Objects/object.c, Python/bltinmodule.c: moved callable() to
        object.c (from static in bltinmodule.c) since it is generally
        useful (and I needed it :-); removed some unused vars

Wed Jan 25 13:20:52 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@zeus.cwi.nl>

        * Modules/posixmodule.c (posix_utime): Be more robust in the light
        of unusual types for uname struct members and 64-bit longs

        * Python/ceval.c (eval_code): mods to allow using classes as
        exceptions (R Lindsay Todd)

Mon Jan 23 20:48:16 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@zeus.cwi.nl>

        * configure.in (LDSHARED): add case for OSF/1 (Bob Kras);
        (socket libraries): add conditional for IRIX 5, where -lsocket
        exists but doesn't seem to work properly

        * Python/compile.c (get_docstring): add missing case for
        file_input, so __doc__ strings in modules work

Sun Jan 22 20:45:40 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@zeus.cwi.nl>

        * Modules/regexmodule.c (reg_dealloc): free the compiled pattern
        buffer -- plugs a memory leak

Sun Jan 22 01:44:01 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@zeus.cwi.nl>

        * Modules/signalmodule.c (sigcheck): renamed to PyErr_CheckSignals
        -- signal checking was broken because of this!

Sat Jan 21 15:10:08 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@zeus.cwi.nl>

        * Python/getargs.c (seterror): don't overwrite error if one is
        already set (e.g. by O& handler)
        (convertsimple1): return "(unspecified)" instead of empty string
        for type description of "O&" object

Fri Jan 20 15:27:51 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@zeus.cwi.nl>

        * Modules/Makefile.pre.in (sharedinstall): add command to make the
        $(DESTSHARED) directory

        * README: change NeXT hint to add -posix to C compiler flags

        * Python/import.c: document the fact that almost all functions
        returning a module object (except add_module()) increment its
        reference count, and add missing INCREF calls here and there

        * Python/bltinmodule.c (builtin___import__): don't INCREF the
        module -- import_module() has already done that

        * Python/ceval.c (eval_code, RAISE_EXCEPTION): add missing INCREF
        after gettupleitem() call (R Lindsay Todd)

        * configure.in: added check for working getopt (R Lindsay Todd);
        modernize all tests to use cache and report outcome (John
        Interrante)

        * Include/{classobject.h,listobject.h}: corrected two unconverted
        names (found by John Interrante)

Thu Jan 19 01:31:46 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@zeus.cwi.nl>

        * configure.in (LDSHARED): added case for Sequent DYNIX (Jaap
        Vermeulen)

        for interrupt without clearing the interrupt flag (Jack)

        * Python/errors.c (strerror): #undef it first on the Mac (Jack)

        * Lib/ftplib.py: don't break if os.environ doesn't exist (Jack)

        * Modules/timemodule.c (inittime): fix memory leaks (should decref
        new objects passed to dictinsert)

        * Python/compile.c (optimize): fix memory leak (forgot to decref
        localmap)

        * Objects/funcobject.c (func_dealloc): fix memory leak (forgot to
        decref func_name)

        * Python/importdl.c: added changes for NetBSD dynamic linking
        (David Hobley); removed shared linking for NeXT (incompatible with
        the -posix flag)

        * Modules/mathmodule.c: removed empty #ifdef macintosh...#endif

        * Parser/parsetok.c (parsetok): avoid uninitialized memory read

        * Mac: various stuff to port Jack's mods back to THINK C, as well
        as my own changes for apple events

        * Python/modsupport.c: support "O&" taking an object constructor
        and a void* (sort of inverse of O& in getargs)

        * configure.in, Makefile.in: mods to define and use
        INSTALL_PROGRAM and INSTALL_DATA as well as INSTALL (John
        Interrante)

        * configure.in: added test for genuine getopt (R Lindsay Todd)

        * Python/Makefile.in: removed getopt.o from OBJS (but left in
        getopt.o: getopt.c rule)

        * Python/getopt.c: don't use function prototypes (Anthony Baxter)

        * Modules/arraymodule.c: make the routines static now that their
        forward declarations are! (Anthony Baxter)

========================================
==> Release 1.2 BETA 2 (17 Jan 1995) <==
========================================

Tue Jan 17 11:24:23 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@zeus.cwi.nl>

        * Include/patchlevel.h: set version to 1.2-beta-2

        * Python/Makefile.in: added getopt to list of objects

        * Makefile.pre.in: be more careful about building 
        Modules/Makefile.pre

        * Objects/floatobject.c: test for __STDC__ instead of macintosh de
        decide whether to declare fmod() and pow() -- this works in
        mathomodule.c so why not here...

        * Objects/rangeobject.c: made a few things static

        * Objects/longobject.c, Include/{longobject.h,rename2.h}:
        long_scan is now a macro that calls long_escan; long_scan no
        longer exists

        * Objects/object.c (strobject): use tp_str and only try __str__ if
        it's an instance

        * configure.in: hopefully final changes for Sequent's -linet

        * README: add hint for NeXT users to use --without-gcc

        * Python/{bltinmodule.c,ceval.c}, Objects/frameobject.c:
        initialize __builtins__ from built-in *module* instead of *dict*,
        to prevent interactive vars() call to loop recursively

        * Python/bltinmodule.c: fix Alpha bug in range and xrange --
        sizeof(int) != sizeof(long)

        * Python/mystrtoul.c: include rename2.h

        * Modules/*: made things static and general clean-up for new
        naming scheme

        * Include/*.h: new names for lots of new functions

        * Lib/rexec.py: no need for distrusting dir() or vars(), changed
        open() to allow everything (for reading) except /etc/*

        * Mac/macmain.c: include rename2.h

        * */Makefile*in: added harmless $& to $(LIB) target for Sequent
        parallel make

        * Parser/tokenizer.c: fix loop on unterminated triple quotes

        * Parser/intrcheck.c: made 'interrupted' flag static again

        * Objects/listobject.c (list_ass_slice): free recycling bin when
        making early exit due to memory error

        * Objects/listobject.c, Include/{listobject.h,rename2.h}: added
        reverselist, C interface to list.reverse().

        * Object/listobject.c (list_ass_slice): fixed re-entrancy bug
        (noticed by Jim Roskind) 

Sat Jan 14 11:21:29 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@zeus.cwi.nl>

        * Python/modsupport.c (PyEval_CallMethod): changed method argument
        name to methodname -- since method is also a typedef and some
        compiler choke on this (e.g. HP) (Andrew Kuchling)

        * Python/thread.c: added #include thread_nt.h (Mark Hammond)

        * Demo/scripts/h2py.py: support $include or $INCLUDE path instead
        of only using /usr/include (Mark Hammond)

        * Python/ceval.c (eval_code/PRINT_EXPR): fix messed output when
        x.__repr__() prints something and repr(x) is called at the prompt

========================================
==> Release 1.2 BETA 1 (12 Jan 1995) <==
========================================

Thu Jan 12 12:27:23 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Python/pythonrun.c (initmain), Python/import.c
        (exec_code_module): use getbuiltins(), not getbuiltindict() to
        initialize new modules

        * Python/ceval.c (getbuiltins): return getbuiltindict() instead of
        NULL if no current frame

        * Modules/cryptmodule.c: removed redundant include of modsupport.h

        * Modules/signalmodule.c: remove unwanted trigraph from comment

        * Modules/Setup.in: clarify status of dlmodule.c

        * Modules/mathmodule.c: rearrange declarations somewhat

Tue Jan 10 11:34:23 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Include/*.h, Python/getmtime.c, Modules/<several>.c: THE GREAT
        RENAMING (inspired by Jun Hamano).  One now either includes
        "Python.h" and then uses new names only, or one includes
        "allobjects.h" and uses old names.  "rename1.h" no longer exists;
        instead, "rename2.h" performs the reverse mapping.

        * Python/bltinmodule.c (builtin_filter): fix subtle refcount big
        in filter() (Tim MacKenzie)

        * Include/mymalloc.h, Modules/{Makefile.pre.in,config.c.in}:
        change to make things palatable for C++ (Tim MacKenzie)

        * Modules/socketmodule.c: only call hstrerror() if it exists

        * Modules/tkintermodule.c: added interface to Tk_DoOneEvent() (R
        Lindsay Todd)

        * Objects/longobject.c (long_pow): some defensive programming
        (Eric Siegerman)

        * Objects/intobject.c (int_pow): fix memory leak in ternary pow()
        (Eric Siegerman)

        * Modules/posixmodule.c (posix_fdopen, posix_popen): add optional
        argument to specify buffer size as for __builtin__.open(); also
        make mode argument optional (default "r")

        * Objects/classobject.c (instance_coerce): implement coercions
        involving instances properly

        * Objects/object.c, Python/bltinmodule.c: moved coerce() to
        objects.c, where it belongs

        * Doc/libfuncs.tex: added execfile(); reformulated eval() somewhat

        * Python/bltinmodule.c (builtin_{execfile,eval}): fix
        globals/locals defaults to match the manual again; also allow None
        to mean the same as the default

        * Lib/nntplib.py: fix comments for list command (should be last,
        first instead of first, last)

        * Lib/test/test_grammar.py: fix exec test so presence of
        __builtins__ doesn't break it

Mon Jan  9 14:20:16 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Objects/{funcobject.c,methodobject.c,classobject.c}: don't
        expose certain internals (e.g. __dict__) in restricted mode.

        * Python/thread_pthread.h: Alpha OSF/1 fix

        * Python/importdl.c (load_dynamic_module): removed bogus check for
        reloading of dynamically loaded modules (tested uninitialized
        local variable)

        * Include/{frameobject.h,ceval.h,bltinmodule.h,rename1},
        Python/{ceval.c,import.c,pythonrun.c,bltinmodule.c},
        Object/frameobject.c: changed handling of builtins.  Each frame
        now has a pointer to the dictionary of builtins to be used in that
        frame, initialized from __builtins__ in the globals passed to the
        frame.  Only run_node() and exec_code_module() initialize
        __builtins__ to the dictionary of the real __builtin__ module.
        Furthermore, a frame is in "restricted" mode if its builtins are
        not the real __builtin__ module.  In restricted mode, some other
        modules and object types restrict their interfaces.  Subtle
        change: eval_code() no longer automatically fills in the default
        globals; this must be done by the caller (who can then also
        explicitly stick in the builtins if needed).  bltinmodule.c no
        longer exports {get,set}builtin() but instead exports
        getbuiltindict().  ceval.c export getbuiltins() and
        getrestricted() in analogy of getglobals().

        * Include/sysmodule.h, Python/{sysmodule.c,ceval.c},
        Doc/libsys.tex: change sys.check_interval Python variable into
        Python function sys.setcheckinterval(interval) and C variable
        sys_checkinterval

        * Mac/macosmodule.c: use new getargs interface; add
        {Get,Set}FileInfo

Sat Jan  7 09:40:24 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Python/compile.c: support import A.B...Z; added doc strings to
        modules, classes and function

        * Python/ceval.c: use new instancebinop interface

        * Python/bltinmodule.c: restructured coerce(), divmod(), pow() to
        use new instancebinop interface

        * Objects/classobject.c: added 5th (function) parameter to
        instancebinop, to support things like Rational * float; added
        documentation strings to classes and methods

        * Objects/methodobject.c: changed drastically, the object now
        contains a pointer to the struct methodlist (which must be
        static); added attributes __name__, __doc__ and __self__

        * Objects/funcobject.c: added __doc__ attribute (alias func_doc),
        initialized from first constand in code object if it is a string,
        else to None

        * Objects/moduleobject.c: initialize __doc__ to None

        * Objects/typeobject.c: added getattr(), supporting __doc__ and
        __name__

        * Objects/object.c: raise AttributeError, not TypeError for object
        without attributes

        * Python/modsupport.c, Include/modsupport.h: add doc string
        parameter to initmodule3 (renamed from initmodule2); new
        newmethodobject() interface

        * Modules/signalmodule.c (initsignal): don't call
        newmethodobject() directly -- rely on initmodule()

        * Modules/newmodule.c: rationalize argument checking, redo
        lay-out, add __doc__ strings

        * Include/object.h: added tp_str (to implement str()), tp_doc, and
        some dummy fields

        * Include/methodobject.h: added ml_doc member to struct methodlist
        and renamed ml_varargs to ml_flags; changed newmethodobject() to
        take a struct methodlist * argument instead of individual parts;
        got rid of ML_FREENAME again

        * Include/funcobject.h: added func_doc struct member

        * Include/classobject.h: added 5th (function) parameter to
        instancebinop, to support things like Rational * float

        * Grammar/Grammar: changed import to support NAME.NAME...NAME

        * Python/importdl.c (load_dynamic_module): NT dlls have extension
        .pyd, not .dll

Thu Jan  5 11:00:13 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Demo/scripts/mboxconvert.py: invent Message-ID if none present

Wed Jan  4 18:23:09 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Python/modsupport.c (initmodule2), Include/methodobject.h,
        Objects/methodobject.c: introduced METH_FREENAME bit passed to
        newmethodobject to indicate that if the object is freed the name
        pointer must also be freed (this saves a long standing memory leak
        in initmodule2)

        * Modules/structmodule.c (struct_pack, struct_unpack): use memcpy
        instead of double precision assignment (since a string isn't
        always double-aligned, e.g. when debug fields are present in the
        object header)

        * Objects/floatobject.c (float_hash): changed a constant to avoid
        float->long conversion overflow

        * Python/bltinmodule.c (builtin_pow): fix coerce() ref count
        nightmare (core dumps on Linux)

        * Python/pythonrun.c: call flushline() in print_error(), after
        fetching the exception info, since flushline() can mask an
        exception; move flushline() calls around so they are not between
        the detection and printing of the exception

Tue Jan  3 12:55:28 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Modules/config.c.in (getcopyright): Change copyright to include

        documented gethostbyaddr()

        * Modules/mpzmodule.c (mpz_power): made it ternary

        * Modules/mathmodule.c: only use hypot() if it exists

        over empty list) when $(SHAREDMODS) is empty

        * Python/errors.c: added hook for better mac error messages

        * Python/pythonrun.c (run_script): removed extraneous fclose() in
        case of .pyc file argument

        * Include/{object.h,stringobject.h}: changed refcnt and sizes from
        unsigned to int (i.e. signed)

        * Objects/fileobject.c (newfileobject): use HAVE_FOPENRF instead
        of USE_FOPENRF

        * Lib/test/test_b1.py: test eval() and execfile() with globals,
        locals arguments

        * Lib/mhlib.py: added movemessage(), copymessage(), added copy
        fallback for refilemessages(), and updated the docs

Fri Dec 30 16:19:17 1994  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Parser/tokenizer.c (tok_nextc): zap tok->buf after freeing

        * Include/traceback.h: added struct _frame declaration for ANSI C

        * Include/bitset.h: move definition of testbit() around

Thu Dec 29 10:09:25 1994  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Objects/mappingobject.c (mapping_has_key): don't call
        lookmapping() for empty dictionary

        * Modules/Makefile.pre.in: use new style @prefix@ substitution
        (sharedinstall): fix case of loop over empty $(SHAREDMODS)

        * Several files: removed redundant variables etc. (Sam Leffler)

Wed Dec 28 12:09:10 1994  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Modules/threadmodule.c (t_bootstrap): XDECREF the return value;
        (thread_exit_thread): DECREF the frame returned by save_thread()

        * Modules/md5module.c, Doc/libmd5.tex: renamed md5.md5() to md5.new()

Wed Dec 21 13:30:47 1994  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Python/ceval.c (build_class): add hook for Donald Beaudry

Mon Dec 19 17:35:13 1994  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Doc/libposixfile.tex: the fileopen function was erroneously
        documented as openfile

Tue Dec 13 11:46:03 1994  Guido Van Rossum  <guido@tesla>

        * config.h.in, configure: rewritten *by* autoconf 2.0

        * configure.in: parts rewritten for autoconf 2.0; strip spaces
        from uname output for QNX; test for some new things like
        ftruncate, truncate and va_list as array

        * acconfig.h: some reordering to get things in alphabetical order;
        added GETTIMEOFDAY_NO_TZ and VA_LIST_IS_ARRAY

        * README: Added SCO notes

        * Python/thread_solaris.h (start_new_thread): create new threads
        with THR_DETACHED option instead of THR_NEW_LWP -- else there's a
        limit to the number of threads you can create in total, ever, per
        process

        * Python/traceback.c (tb_print): don't store in sys.last_traceback
        (that's done in pythonrun.c:print_error() now)

        * Python/pythonrun.c (print_error): use fatal() instead of
        abort(); use err_fetch() instead of err_get(); call tb_print()
        instead of going through ceval.c:printtraceback()

        * Python/modsupport.c: fix vmkvalue() for systems where va_list is
        an array; add support for creating lists and dictionaries; added
        convenience functions for calling functions/methods with format

        exception condition is still set

        * Python/{import.c,importdl.c}: completely restructured: moved
        all dynamic loading stuff to importdl.c; added public interface
        to the functionality through module 'imp' (for __import__ hack)

        * Modules/threadmodule.c (t_bootstrap): fix leak of result value
        (still a massive leak left I think)

        * Python/errors.c: don't declare strerror on NT

        * Python/getargs.c (vgetargs[1]): fix for systems where va_list
        is an array

        * Python/compile.c: use fatal() instead of abort(); use
        err_{fetch,restore}

        * Python/ceval.c: move some (X)DECREF's around for improved
        re-entrancy; call built-in __import__ to implement IMPORT_NAME;

        check for string left arg before anything else in rem()

        * Python/ceval.c, Include/ceval.h: get rid of printtraceback

        * Python/bltinmodule.c: added __import__ built-in function;
        restructured argument parsing of most built-ins to use
        newgetargs()

        compilation of importdl.c instead of import.c

        * Parser/{pgen.c,parser.c,grammar.c}: use fatal() instead of abort()

        * Objects/object.c: use fatal() instead of abort()

        * Objects/mappingobject.c: fix re-entrancy bugs (allow ma_table
        and ma_size to be 0)

        * Objects/listobject.c: fix some re-entrancy bugs (not complete)

        * Objects/frameobject.c: use err_{fetch,restore} everywhere; use
        fatal() instead of abort()

        * Objects/fileobject.c (file_truncate): new method (only of
        ftruncate() is in libc)

        * Objects/classobject.c (instance_getattr): add err_clear() when
        retrying after failing instance_getattr1() call; use
        err_{fetch,restore} everywhere

        * Modules/tkintermodule.c: use PyErr_{Fetch,Restore} instead of
        {GetAndClear,SetObject}; fix NULL dereference in TimerHandler

        * configure.in, Modules/timemodule.c: on some systems,
        gettimeofday() has no second argument

        * Modules/socketmodule.c: if O_NDELAY undefined, use O_NONBLOCK
        (for QNX); use gethostbyname_r if it exists (since it is
        re-entrant); use h_error and hstrerror when they exist; other
        changes for re-entrancy; make printable representation more
        useful; cosmetic changes in argument lists; add gethostbyaddr()

        * Modules/signalmodule.c: if NSIG undefined, use _SIGMAX + 1

        * Modules/posixmodule.c: changes for direct/dirent dictated by
        autoconf 2.0

        * Modules/config.c.in: added standard built-in module "imp"

        * Modules/{Makefile.pre.in,makesetup}: change @...@ to _..._

        * Makefile.in: adapted to autoconf 2.0; treat prefix in a standard
        way, remove config caches in distclean target

        * Lib/tkinter/Tkinter.py (Pack.propagate): fix calling convention

        * Lib/test/test_b2.py: test reload() of built-in module (marshal)

        * Lib/test/{test_b1.py,testall.out}: added test for __import__

        * Include/rename1.h: change HEAD_INIT to macro with argument

        * Include/import.h: added decl for get_pyc_magic()

        * Include/{rename1.h,errors.h}, Python/errors.c: added err_fetch()

        * Include/bltinmodule.h, Python/bltinmodule.c (getbuiltins): new
        like getbuiltin() buit takes char * instead of stringobject *
        argument (for __import__ hack)

        * Doc/tut.tex: use spam, bacon and eggs instead of foo, bar, bletch

        * Doc/libtypes.tex (File Objects): add footnote
        explaining why readline() leaves the trailing newline in

Sat Nov 19 15:14:02 1994  Guido Van Rossum  <guido@tesla>

        * Objects/mappingobject.c: ma_table may now be NULL (when ma_size
        == ); changes to avoid re-entering the interpreter via DECREF
        while the mapping object is being modified

        * Several other places: similar

        * errors.[ch]: new functions err_fetch and err_restore
        fetch and restore all three exception related values (plus places
        using these)

        * Makefile.in (TESTPATH): Added ./Modules to test path so
        dynamically loaded modules are found even if not yet installed

Wed Nov 16 14:19:01 1994  Guido Van Rossum  <guido@tesla>

        * Python/sysmodule.c (list_builtin_module_names): stop a leak

Mon Nov 14 13:21:45 1994  Guido van Rossum  <guido@tesla>

        * Doc/ref[467].tex: don't use \verb{...} in footnotes; rewritten
        using {\tt ...}

        * Lib/urlparse.py (urljoin): safe version of Andy Bensky's fix to
        urllib.py

        * Lib/urllib.py (basejoin): (Andy Bensky) fix case where url has a
        type and a path but no host -- the host from the base should be
        inserted

        * Parser/grammar.c: (Don Beaudry) initialize accelerators print
        "Translating labels" header only if debugging

        * Doc/ref[36].tex: some typos

        * Doc/ref[35].tex: clarify reverse/backward quotes, add them to
        the index

        * Include/rename1.h: added PyArg_ParseTuple for newgetargs

        * Python/bltinmodule.c: fix core dump in pow() (should be declared
        varargs in methodlist array)

        * Python/ceval.c: replace abort() calls with fatal() calls

        * Python/errors.c (err_setval): call err_clear() to clear existing
        error instead of calling XDECREF

        * Python/getargs.c: fix core dump when old style call expecting
        some arguments receives none

        * Lib/test/{test_b[12].py,testall.out}: added more tests (now all
        built-ins are covered again)

Thu Oct 20 08:31:02 1994  Guido van Rossum  <guido@tesla>

        * Modules/makesetup: should use $cc not cc

        * Got rid of Modules/imgformat.c (will be distributed with Jack's
        img package)

        * Doc/*.tex: moved title boilerplate to separate file, added
        copyright notice (separate file)

Wed Oct  5 11:13:13 1994  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Modules/config.c.in: don't include frozen.c when frozen (the new
        freeze script compiles it separately)

        * Lib/os.py: add dummy import posixpath, for freeze script

        * Python/marshal.c (r_object): plugged memory leak in reading of
        code objects

        * Modules/config.c.in (getpythonpath): always return malloc'ed
        memory -- save a static pointer to free next time (prevents leaks)

Thu Sep 29 10:35:28 1994  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Grammar/Grammar: got rid of history; changed some diagram
        commands

        * Lib/types.py: cosmetic changes

        * Mac/{config.c,macosmodule.c}: new interface to (a few bits of)
        the Mac OS

        * Modules/xxmodule.c: integrated with xxobject.c by Jack

        * Modules/(posix,socket}module.c: more NT changes

        * Python/traceback.c: security fix -- check for buffer oveflow
        before concatenating sys.path item and module name

        * Python/ceval.c, Include/ceval.h: promote MakePendingCalls to
        global: Py_MakePendingCalls.  Also guard against recursive calls

        * Python/pythonmain.c: fatal error if can't alloc mem for -c
        string

        * Python/pythonrun.c: add string "Python" to fatal error message

Wed Sep 28 16:39:09 1994  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Objects/longobject.c: change ValueError to OverflowError when
        converting to int

        * Objects/xxobject.c: changed to use new style (not finished?)

        * Objects/stringobject.c: use HAVE_LIMITS instead of __STDC__

        * Objects/rangeobject.c: modernized

        * Objects/floatobject.c: add overflow check when converting float
        to int and implement truncation towards zero using ceil/float

        * Parser/intrcheck.c: make 'interrupted' global (forgot for
        whom...)

        * Include/rename1.h: don't even define Py_FPROTO

        * Python/{modsupport.c,getargs.c,Makefile.in},
        Include/modsupport.h: moved getargs() to its own file and
        re-implemented it entirely to support optional arguments, multiple
        arguments without surrounding parentheses
        (when called as newgetargs()), and better error messages

        * Include/classobject.h, Objects/classobject.c,
        Python/{ceval.c,bltinmodule.c}: entirely redone operator
        overloading.  The rules for class instances are now much more
        relaxed than for other built-in types
        (whose coerce must still return two objects of the same type)

Sun Sep 18 07:26:39 1994  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cayenne.cwi.nl>

        * Python/pythonrun.c (print_error): print only last line of
        multi-line source line

        * Parser/tokenizer.c (tok_nextc): count line numbers when parsing
        strings

Fri Sep 16 15:54:56 1994  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Python/modsupport.c (do_arg): added error message if "O!" fails;
        change type of converter for "O&" to function returning int taking
        an object* and a void* parameter; it should return 1 for success
        or return 0 and set an exception for failure to convert

Wed Sep 14 14:08:44 1994  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>

        * Include/Python.h: new header file for new naming scheme

        * various modules: #include "Python.h" and remove most remporary
        renaming hacks

        * Lib/whrandom.py: if seed is (0,0,0), initialize from current
        time; default seed's arguments to (0,0,0)

        * Python/ceval.c (eval_code), Include/ceval.h: added registry of
        pending functions (to be used by functions that are called
        asynchronously, like UNIX signal handlers or Mac I/O completion
        routines)

Wed Sep 14 11:05:36 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Doc/libsys.tex (section{Built-in Module \sectcode{sys}}):
        documented sys.check_interval

Tue Sep 13 21:35:19 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Import/pythonrun.h, Python/{import,pythonrun}.c,
        mac/macsetfiletype.c: changes by Jack to execute .pyc file passed
        as command line argument.  On the Mac .pyc files are given a
        special type so they can be double-clicked

        * Modules/stropmodule.c (strop_[r]find): change index range check
        -- don't raise ValueError buit silently clip when it's out of
        range (this is compatible with slicing)

Mon Sep 12 12:53:07 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Extensions/X11/Xmmodule.c: (Sjoerd): Implemented
        Xm.OptionButtonGadget and Xm.OptionLabelGadget

        * Modules/Setup.in: define PYTHONPATH using COREPYTHONPATH for
        extensions; add -lm to math module definition

        * Modules/Makefile.pre.in: remove *.so and so_locations on clobber

        * Modules/makesetup: (Sjoerd): treat words beginning with a dollar
        and not ending in a well-known extension as linker arguments

        * Lib/urlparse.py: URL parser according to the latest Internet
        draft

        * README: added note about HP-UX

Sun Sep 11 12:12:28 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Misc/indent.pro: Steen's approximation of my C style as a GNU
        indent profile

        * Modules/{Setup.in,termios.c}: add Steen's termios; also
        Lib/[pt]ty.py, Demo/scripts/script.py, Lib/irix5/TERMIOS.py

        * Demo/scripts/h2py.py: merged in Steen Lumholt's changes to
        handle #include.  Now also handles one-argument macros.

        * configure.in: use uname to decide how to create / link shared
        libraries and to set $(MACHDEP) (machine dependent subdirectory of
        Lib)

        * Makefile.in: shared library support; added target sharedinstall
        which move shared libraries into Lib/$(MACHDEP)

        * Modules/{Makefile.pre.in,Setup.in,makesetup}: support shared
        libraries.  Had to re-engineer rule production in makesetup
        because sed was dumping core on the script fed to it -- now the
        rules are always appended to the end of the Makefile.

Fri Sep  9 11:35:28 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Lib/uu.py: new module, does uuencode/uudecode (thanks to Lance)

        * Grammar/Grammar: fewer #diagram:break hacks needed; removed
        history from file

Thu Sep  8 10:24:41 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Parser/grammar1.c (finddfa): massive speed up by using direct
        addressing instead of searching

Wed Sep  7 08:49:37 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Include/rename1.h: added PyArg_GetInt

        * pythonrun.h: added Py_AtExit

        * Doc/libsocket.tex, Modules/socketmodule.c: added Tommy
        Burnette's setblocking() method

        * Modules/signalmodule.c: adapted to new module style (Lance);
        added {BGN,END}_SAVE around pause() call

        * Objects/object.c (DELREF): must zap type pointer *before*
        calling free() (or other destructor)

Sat Sep  3 14:12:38 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Modules/{Setup.in,tkintermodule.c,tkappinit.c}: moved tkinter
        into the main Modules directory, and its Lib and Demo
        subdirectories into the main Lib and Demo directories.  Moved
        definition of STDWIN component and TK component of PYTHONPATH to
        their respective sections so it's easier to remember to enable
        them.

        * Python/pythonrun.c (cleanup), Include/pythonrun.h: added
        Py_AtExit() -- register cleanup functions for C modules

Tue Aug 30 10:53:50 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Python/getmtime.c: Remove mac specifics (Mac subdirectory has
        its own version now)

        * Modules/Setup.in: uses .c instead of .o now; added curses

        * Modules/{rotormodule,syslogmodule}.c: new naming conventions

        * Modules/cursesmodule.c: new, interface to curses

        * Modules/makesetup: bugfix: add objects from sources to OBJS

        * Modules/cursesmodule.c: new contribution from Lance

        * Python/bltinmodule.c (builtin_tuple): use pre-existing
        listtuple(v) for lists

Mon Aug 29 15:41:02 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Various places: merged THINK C 6.0 and MPW 3.2 mods: Python 1.1
        should build flawlessly on the Mac using either compiler

Fri Aug 26 10:18:05 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Doc/tut.tex (subsection{Lambda Forms}): fix typo in lambda
        example

Thu Aug 25 12:30:11 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Lib/importall.py: obsolete.

        * Lib/{compileall,py_compile}.py: new modules for compiling .py
        files.

        * Modules/timemodule.c (floattime), Objects/longobject.c
        (dgetlongvalue): add (double) casts for the benefit of the SCO C
        compiler

Tue Aug 23 00:52:32 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Modules/Setup.*: removed all except Setup.in (huh?  I thought
        I'd done that already?!); disable gdbm by default

        * Modules/makesetup: support C++ files now; these should be given
        as file.C or file.cc or file.c++; C files can be given as file.c
        (instead of file.o, which is still supported)

        * configure.in, */Makefile*.in: OPT can now be specified in the
        env at configure time and will then be put in all Makefiles as
        default

        * Modules/config.c.in: change mac specific things

        * Python/import.c: add lost NT-specific code back in

        * Parser/tokenizer.c: backup over illegal newline in string
        literal (for "completeness" test)

        * Include/node.h: make some fields short to save space during
        parsing

        * Modules/posixmodule.c: some more NT changes

        * Doc/libtime.tex: get rid of references to millitime() and
        millisleep(); document clock()

Mon Aug 22 10:53:59 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Lib/linecache.py: don't crash on empty filename

        * Lib/macpath.py: don't return trailing colon for dirname()
        (XXX won't do for volume names -- but otherwise glob(':*:*.py')
        loops forever)

        * Lib/traceback.py: print SyntaxError correctly

        * Modules/signalmodule.c: added pause().

        * Python/pythonrun.c (print_error): added INCREF/DECREF pair --
        the exception returned by a syntax error (when reported) would
        contain an object with refcnt zero!

Fri Aug 19 15:35:44 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * */Makefile*.in: remove lib*.a before adding to it

        * Lib/urllib.py: fix caching bug (by disabling the cache)

        * Lib/sgi/flp.py: fix caching bug (always write the whole file to
        the cache!)

        * Doc/ref6.tex (section{Assignment statements}): added warning
        about overlaps in lhs of assignment (e.g. "i, x[i] = 1, 2")

        * Python/errors.c (err_clear): clear interpreter stack trace

Wed Aug 17 16:10:07 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Moved patchlevel.h from Python/ to Include/, moved all code from
        version.c to config.c and removed version.c, and changed
        Modules/Makefile(.pre.in) to add dependencies on $(MYLIBS) for
        config.c (so the date in the version is always current).  Also
        changed the format of PATCHLEVEL: it is now a string containing
        the complete version number, e.g. "1.1".

        * Grammar/Grammar: Added #diagram:... comments for Kees Blom's
        railroad diagram generator

        * Doc/libstring.tex (section{Standard Module \sectcode{string}}):
        removed references to {ato{f,i,l},index}_error

        * Lib/string.py: find/rfind is now the main implementation and
        index/rindex is a wrapper that raises index_error (which is now
        always ValueError)

        * Modules/stropmodule.c: implement find/rfind instead of
        index/rindex (raising and catching an exception is much more
        expensive than returning and testing -1)

        * Lib/os.py: do fake "import posix" for freeze.py script

Tue Aug 16 23:58:30 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Parser/parsetok.c (parsetok): don't call strncpy(str, NULL, 0)

        * Doc/libfuncs.tex (section{Built-in Functions}): added docs for
        delattr()

        * Python/bltinmodule.c: added delattr(x, 'attr'), equivalent to
        del x.attr

Fri Aug 12 15:00:20 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Doc/libfuncs.tex: don't use $math$ in description of pow(x,y,z);
        describe tuple()

        * Doc/libposixfile.tex: use tableiii instead of tableii, so
        partparse will work again (I know, chicken!)

        * Doc/libthread.tex: Added get_ident(); updated text on module
        availability

        * Doc/myformat.perl: Added sub do_cmd_Cpp

        * Python/compile.c (com_argdefs, com_arglist): avoid referencing
        CHILD(n,i) for i >= NCH(n)

        * Python/bltinmodule.c: added tuple() builtin

Thu Aug 11 16:41:14 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Objects/classobject.c, Include/classobject.h: added __getattr__
        and __setattr__ support to override getattr(x, name) and
        setattr(x, name, value) for class instances.  This uses a special
        hack whereby the class is supposed to be static: the __getattr__
        and __setattr__ methods are looked up only once and saved in the
        instance structure for speed.
        (Later rewritten to also support __delattr__ and to store the
        routines in the class instead of in the instance)

Wed Aug 10 13:42:29 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * configure.in, Makefile.in: remove the AC_PREFIX() call -- it's
        more trouble than it's worth at CWI and most other people seem to
        install Python in the default (/usr/local) anway.  Changed comment
        describing --prefix in Makefile.in

        * Lib/urllib.py (ftpcache): remove debug print statement

Tue Aug  9 14:32:45 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Objects/{int,long,float}object.c, Include/object.h,
        Python/bltinmodule.c: mods by Andrew Kuchling to implement
        pow(x,y,z) == pow(x,y)%z, but without incurring overflow

        * Python/import.c: if initializing a module did not enter the
        module into sys.modules, it may have raised an exception -- don't
        override this exception.

        * Include/rename1.h: added PyMethodDef and PyObject

Mon Aug  8 09:51:08 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Doc/{Makefile,*.tex}: Changes by Andrew Kuchling:
          * Added dependencies to the Makefile
          * Added \optional{} commands all over the place (possibly not
            finished yet)
          * Defined \optional and \Cpp in myformat.sty
          * Changed all occurrences of C++ to \Cpp{}, for nicely
            formatting the + signs.
          * Fixed typos, sentence structure in lots of places
          * Added documentation for the rotor module
          * Added a commented-out paragraph to libcrypto.tex that can be
            added once the Python Cryptography Kit is released.
          * Altered the table in libposixfile.tex a bit.
          * Documented socket.gethostname()
          * Started completely rewriting the Extending manual.

        * Modules/{Setup.in, gdbmmodule.c}, Doc/{lib,libgdbm}.tex: added
        Anthony Baxter's gdbm module (derived from Jack's dbm module)

Fri Aug  5 11:43:16 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * BUGS: new file (merger of unofficial BUGS1.0.x files)

        * Modules/{Setup.in,Makefile.pre.in}: renamed some modules to
        shorter names (dropped the "module" from the name): sunaudiodev,
        imgformat, audioop, imageop, imgfile

        * Python/import.c: support *.o/*.so as alternative for
        *module.o/*module.so

        * Modules/stropmodule.c (strop_rindex): make rindex('abc', '') do
        the right thing (i.e. return 3 instead of 0)

        * Python/bltinmodule.c (builtin_vars): correct typo in error msg

        * Doc/libsocket.tex (subsection{Socket Object Methods}):
        documented gethostname() and a few misc things

        * Modules/socketmodule.c: disabled allowbroadcast() socket method

Mon Aug  1 01:28:29 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Makefile.in (TAGS): Call etags w/o -t option

        * Lib/rfc822.py: fix two bugs: error in readheaders interpreting
        regex.match() result, and wrong logic in getfirstmatchingheader()
        when the same header occurs twice consecutively

        * Lib/test/test_types.py (6.4.1): test for particular bug in
        integer multiply

Sat Jul 30 13:31:40 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Doc/libsocket.tex, Modules/socketmodule.c: send() and sendto()
        now return actual byte count (useful for sockets in non-blocking
        mode)

Tue Jul 26 14:21:17 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * configure.in: check for <limits.h>

        * Objects/longobject.c (newlongobject): fix long(0x80000000) and
        add warning that it isn't actually correct on 64-bit machines;
        include <limits.h> if HAVE_LIMITS_H is defined

        * Objects/intobject.c (int_mul): check int*int overflow without
        resorting to double precision (many thanks to John Tromp)

        * Modules/signalmodule.c (signal_alarm): interface to Posix alarm()

        * Python/ceval.c (call_object): print message before abort()

Mon Jul 25 11:30:56 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Doc/libstring.tex (section{Standard Module \sectcode{string}}):
        documented string.count()

        * Lib/string.py: added count(s, sub, i=0), returns number of
        occurrences of sub in s[i:]

        * Doc/keywords.py: program to sort table of keywords in ref2.tex

        * Doc/ref2.tex (subsection{Keywords}): add 'access' and 'lambda'
        to list of reserved words

Thu Jul 14 15:26:14 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * README, Misc/NEWS, Python/patchlevel.h,
        Doc/{lib,ext,tut,ref}.tex: bump version to 1.0.3; in README, fewer
        references to it elsewhere, nor to IP numbers.

Wed Jul 13 18:51:36 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Lib/mhlib.py (removefromallsequences): call putsequences with
        proper argument

Mon Jul 11 13:00:36 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Modules/selectmodule.c: don't accept negative file descriptors;
        changed error messages slightly

Thu Jul  7 12:20:10 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Modules/syslogmodule.c: new module by Lance

        * configure.in: don't check for strtod!

        * Python/import.c: undo Mac DL mods (temporarily) and install NeXT
        dl mods by William Lewis instead.

        * Modules/posixmodule.c (posix_popen): substitute pclose for
        fclose (how did fclose ever creep into this?)

Wed Jul  6 21:45:54 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Lib/{bdb,cmd,pdb}.py: Mods by Rickard Westman: No longer barfs
        on lambda:s (outputs "<lambda>" as the function name); "a(rgs)" in
        pdb now works; help messages added to pdb (lifted from pdb.doc).
        Also, "h pdb" calls pdb.help().  cmd.do_help() displays topics on
        a nicer way (I think).  Also, topics for which there is a help_
        method, but no do_method (like "pdb" above) are displayed in a
        special way.  My own mod: fix break on function to also support
        methods.

Tue Jul  5 23:18:16 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Modules/stropmodule.c (strop_rindex): change semantics of third
        argument -- as in the original string.rindex, search to its right,
        not to its left.  (Maybe both index and rindex need a 4th
        parameter to restrict the search on the other end?

Mon Jul  4 23:01:36 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Modules/timemodule.c (sleep, floatsleep): don't use setjmp or
        signal, rely on err_errno() or sigcheck() instead.

        * Dos/{pcmodule,dosmodule}.c, Modules/posixmodule.c: don't include
        <setjmp.h>

Sat Jul  2 00:42:47 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Lib/urllib.py: implemented new quoting rules; added splituser,
        splitpasswd, splitattr, splitvalue; new ftp syntax (user:passwd,
        cwd to each subdir, type={a,i,d})

Fri Jul  1 17:32:51 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Python/traceback.c: add function name to traceback info

        * Object/listobject.c, Modules/{array,mpz}module.c: include
        <sys/types.h> for size_t

Fri Jul  1 12:47:05 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Makefile.in (Makefile): add dependency on config.status

        * configure.in: support --with-gcc[=value], --without-gcc

        * configure.in, acconfig.h, config.h.in: check for clock_t

        * Modules/{arraymodule,mpzmodule}.c: Include sys/types.h, for size_t

        * Lib/test/test_types.py (6.5.1 Strings): test for nasty string
        formatting bug

        * Objects/stringobject.c (formatstring): fix nasty bug in resizing

Wed Jun 29 10:01:17 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Doc/ref3.tex (section{The standard type hierarchy}
        \label{types}): fix typo

        * Lib/packmail.py: applied patch from Lance to remove '.' and '..'

Tue Jun 28 00:57:35 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Doc/ref1.tex: grammar notation can use single or double quotes now

        * configure.in (termcap): hack around conflict about clear() on
        IRIX 5 in shared libraries gl and termcap

        * Python/bltinmodule.c: added callable() predicate

Wed May 18 15:01:13 1994  Donald Beaudry  (don@zippy.vicorp.com)

        * modsupport.c (do_arg): Changed all of the int getting things to
        just try to get and int, instead of explicitly checking for an int
        first.

        (do_arg): Added the "O&" option to allow using a user supplied
        conversion function. 

Wed May 18 14:10:49 1994  Donald Beaudry  (don@zippy.vicorp.com)

        * intobject.c (getintvalue): Changed to allow automatic conversion
        from any type that supports the nb_int method.

        * floatobject.c (getfloatvalue): Changed to allow automatic
        conversion from any numeric type that supports the nb_float
        method.

Wed May  4 22:56:15 1994  Donald Beaudry  (don@scooter.vicorp.com)

        * object.h -- Added tp_call member to the typeobject struct
        This along with a minor change to the ceval.c allows overloading
        of the function call operator for any class.

Wed May  4 22:23:48 1994  Donald Beaudry  (don@scooter.vicorp.com)

        * modsupport.c -- replace the part of getargs that processes "O!",
        it had a minor problem with comparing the types.

        * ceval.c -- changed call_object to make use of the tp_call
        field.

Fri Jun 27 17:22:00 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Python/pythonmain.c: On MPW (3.2) unbuffered seems to hang, so
        use setvbuf ... _IOLBF for -u option.

        * Python/mystrtoul.c: MPW hack (overflow check doesn't seem to work)

Thu Jun 23 14:46:34 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Modules/Makefile.pre.in (clobber): delete config.c and glmodule.c

Thu Jun 23 00:17:16 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Parser/tokenizer.c: if a triple-quoted string ends in a quote
        followed by a newline (followed immediately by the terminating 3
        quotes) then a syntax error or system error ensues (one-line fix)

        * Doc/ref4.tex: clarify that global name space is almost always
        containing module's name space

        * Lib/profile.{py,doc}: totally new versions by James Roskind;
        also edited source & doc to replace 'jprofile' by 'profile'

        * Modules/posixmodule.c: don't mess with SIGPIPE any more -- this
        is now done in Python/pythonrun.c (saves NT dependency here)

        * Modules/Setup.*: removed all except Setup.in (keeping them up to
        date was too much of a pain)

        * Python/import.c: don't rely on three-line "dl.h", just copy the
        contents.

        * Doc/libtypes.tex (subsubsection{More String Operations.}):
        clarified tuple vs non-tuple argument to format strings.

Wed Jun 22 10:38:22 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Doc/libsocket.tex: clarify the meaning of address for those

        * Include/modsupport.h: added decl for initmodule2().

        * Parser/myreadline.c (my_readline): fixed typo in MPW-specific
        hack; removed debug fprintfs; added two needed #includes.

Mon Jun 20 23:46:04 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Objects/fileobject.c (file_read): test for negative read count
        was misplaced.

Mon Jun 18 11:20:00 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * acconfig.h: changed GETPGRP_HAVE_ARGS into GETPGRP_HAVE_ARG

        * Lib/posixpath.py(walk): don't descend down symbolic links

Thu Jun 16 16:20:12 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Fix bug in 3quoted strings where string ends in quote followed
        by newline

Mon Jun 13 00:24:06 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Lib/multifile.py: added readlines() and read() methods

        * Lib/mimetools.py: added functions to encode/decode standard MIME
        Content-transfer-encoding types (as well as uuencode)

        * Lib/mhlib.py: new interface to MH folders and messages

Sun Jun 12 17:38:31 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Modules/socketmodule.c (sock_listen): fix typo (== instead of =)

Thu Jun  9 23:33:33 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Python/compile.c (parsenumber), Python/marshal.c (r_object):
        replace strtod() by atof()

Tue Jun  7 11:41:05 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Doc/lib.tex: added warning about lineii, libposixfile and partparse

        * Lib/bdb.py (clear_all_breaks): this was defined with two
        arguments that weren't used and shouldn't have been there

Mon Jun  6 14:53:05 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Python/ceval.c (call_trace): Added call to fast_2_locals so
        locals_2_fast won't zap locals if the trace function never looks
        in f.f_locals; don't XDECREF(f->f_trace)

Sun Jun  5 13:18:00 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Lib/rfc822.py: Accept lines ending in CR LF as well

Fri Jun  3 16:37:58 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Lib/profile.py: unspecified improvements by Sjoerd

        * Lib/{bdb,pwd,stdwin/wdb}.py: remove debugger overhead when
        continuing with no breakpoints; add set_trace() method and
        functions to forcibly enter the debugger

        * Python/ceval.c(eval_code): give the name of the local variable
        when LOAD_FAST or DELETE_FAST fails

        * frameobject.[ch], ceval.c: made fast_2_locals and locals_2_fast
        global and moved them to frameobject.c.  getattr(f, "f_locals")
        now calls fast_2_locals and there are fewer other calls to it

Thu Jun  2 13:50:11 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Python/ceval.c (call_trace): *p_trace can now be cleared by the
        trace function!

        * Modules/{{pwd,grp}module.c,Setup.in}: split pwdmodule.c into pwd
        and grp modules (e.g. OS2 seems to have pwd but not grp)

        * Modules/posixmodule.c: OS/2 mods: add #include <io.h>

        * configure.in: test for existence of link, chown, setuid, setgid;
        use std macros for output; require autoconf 1.8

        * Python/sigcheck.c: sigcheck() for use without signalmodule.c

        * Modules/signalmodule.c: added thread compatibility (only main
        thread uses signals); much improved efficiency; intrcheck()
        doesn't call sigcheck() but only tests and clears the SIGINT
        tripped flag.

        * Lots of places: replace intrcheck() by sigcheck() and remove
        following err_set(KeyboardInterrupt).

Wed Jun  1 11:33:34 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Modules/regexmodule.c (reg_dealloc): remove bogus XDEL's.

        * Python/intrcheck.c: removed sigcheck()

        * Python/structmember.c (setmember): test for NULL value

        * frameobject, Python/ceval.c (eval_code): moved trace variable to
        frame object so debugging can be switched on later

Mon May 23 14:44:46 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Modules/newmodule.c: new module, create empty new objects (by
        Tommy)

Fri May 20 09:46:50 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Doc/Makefile: add DVIPS variable with default "dvips -f"

        * Objects/funcobject.c (func_compare): take argcount and argdefs
        into account

Wed May 17 00:00:00 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Python/import.c: bump MAGIC because of changes below

        * Python/{ceval,compile}.c, Include/frameobject.h: changes to code
        objects -- consts/names are tuples, RESERVE_LOCALS instruction
        gets tuple of names instead of dictionary -- so code objects are
        immutable and thus code and function objects are hashable

        * Objects/listobject.c, Include/listobject.h: added listtuple() --
        convert list to tuple

Tue May 17 15:40:12 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Python/ceval.c (getframe): cast current_frame to (object *)

        * Lib/ftplib.py (login): default user='' is translated explicitly
        to 'anonymous'

Wed May 11 10:29:22 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Parser/tokenizer.c (tok_nextc): fix inf loop when file does not
        end in newline

        * Modules/sybasemodule.c: new, interface to sybase (John Redford)

        * Modules/signalmodule.c: new, catch unix signals (Lance)

        * Parser/intrcheck.c, Python/ceval.c, Include/ceval.h,
        Python/pythonrun.c: prepare for signalmodule.c; add sigcheck()
        interface to intrcheck.c, add getframe() interface to ceval.c;
        don't override signal handlers in pythonrun.c

Tue May 10 09:01:06 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Python/import.c (get_module): print dlopen debug message only of

        * configure.in: test for -lpthreads; add directory argument to
        --with-thread to LIBS as -L option

        * Python/thread.c: split in per-system files (thread.c includes
        thread_foobar.h for foobar threads)

        * Objects/stringobject.c (formatstring): don't DECREF result of
        strobject() before using it

        * Doc/libtypes.tex: fix typo in table of list methods; clarify
        truncation behavior of floating point formatting

        * Doc/ref3.tex: clarify defaults for __repr__, __cmp__ and
        __str__; correct (some) descriptions of class constructors

Fri May  6 11:25:26 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * various files: micro changes needed to compile on Mac;
        Grouped more Mac-specific files in Mac subdirectory

        * Lib/*.py: rewrote many functions to use default arguments
        instead of arbitrary argument lists

Thu May  5 12:33:31 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Modules/{cryptmodule.c,Setup.in}: new crypt(3) interface (Steve M)

        * Python/bltinmodule.c, Include/bltinmodule.h: new fn setbuiltin()
        to set a built-in variable

        * Python/ceval.c (eval_code): place '_' variable in __builtin__
        instead of in local dictionary, to avoid endless recursion when
        printing vars()

        argument -- as in the original string.rindex, search to its right,
        not to its left.  (Maybe both index and rindex need a 4th
        parameter to restrict the search on the other end?

        functions.

        * Include/funcobject.h: Added func_argcount and func_argdefs
        fields and {get,set}funcargstuff() functions.

        * Python/import.c (init_builtin): Give error message if module's
        initialization function is NULL (e.g. for 'sys').

Wed Mar 16 11:26:29 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Objects/mappingobject.c: allow dictionaries with more than
        20,000 entries.

Thu Mar 10 11:13:24 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Lib/{pdb,profile,bdb,codehack,stdwin/wdb}.py:
        codehack.getcodename() is obsolete now we have co.co_name; same
        for getfuncname(): f.func_name.  Module codehack is still needed
        for getlineno(), used in profile and pdb

Tue Mar  8 10:37:21 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Python/modsupport.c (do_arg): Format "O!" means typechecked
        object; pointer argument must be preceded by typeobject

        * Modules/threadmodule.c: don't define exit_prog if NO_EXIT_PROG
        is defined

        * Python/thread.c: don't define [_]exit_prog if NO_EXIT_PROG is
        defined; in the SGI version, don't use signals if exit_prog is
        node defined defined; in the SGI version, waitpid() for exited
        threads.

Mon Mar  7 12:41:32 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Lib/test/test_rgbimg.py: search test file along sys.path

        * Lib/test/test_{b1,b2,grammar}.py: tests for indefinite sequences

        * Python/{bltinmodule,ceval}.c: Changed implied and explicit loops
        over sequences to allow for "indefinite" sequences a la Steve
        Majewski.  Instead of iterating over 0, 1, 2, ..., len(a)-1, we
        now iterate over 0, 1, 2, ..., until we get an IndexError
        exception (other exceptions are still errors).  This affects the
        semantics of the following language constructs: "for x in a: ...",
        "x in a", "x not in a", and the following built-in functions:
        filter(), map(), max(), min(), reduce().

        * Doc/ref6.tex (section{Assignment statements}): clarify slice
        assignment; (section{The {\tt break} statement}): fix typo

Wed Mar  2 10:33:39 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Python/ceval.c (eval_code): use sys.check_interval to reset the
        ticker

        * Lib/repr.py: added special case for class instances (which may
        cause exceptions in their __repr__)

        * Lib/pdb.{py,doc}: mod by Steve Kirsch to allow setting a break
        on a function name

Tue Mar  1 10:32:54 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        value

        * Doc/ref4.tex (table 4.1): differentiated between exec stmt and
        eval()

        at least 1.

Fri Feb 25 14:25:30 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Include/osdefs.h, Modules/config.c.in: Added NT case (same as
        MSDOS)

Thu Feb 24 09:58:53 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Modules/posixmodule.c: merged in NT changes by Jaap Vermeulen

        * README: added Mac and PC platforms to blurb.

        * Doc/libfuncs.tex (section{Built-in Functions}): documented
        xrange()

        * Doc/ref7.tex (section{Function definitions} added index entry
        for second ref to lambda.

        * Lib/{bdb.py,pdb.py,stdwin/wdb.py}: call linecache.checkcache()
        in bdb.Bdb's reset method; remove it from the test() functions.

        * Lib/os.py: added listdir for Windows NT

        * Modules/timemodule.c, Parser/intrcheck.c: changes for Windows NT
        by Jaap Vermeulen (#ifdef _M_IX86)

        * Makefile.in (inclinstall): added variable INCLUDEPY to specify
        where the include files are installed

        * Modules/nismodule.c (nisproc_maplist_2): cast some args to
        (caddr_t) as required on some systems

        * Objects/mappingobject.c (getmappingitems): correct typo (called
        _values instead of _items)

        * Lib/os.py: made execvp more portable; added os.pathsep and
        os.defpath

Thu Feb 17 12:53:33 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Lib/ftplib.py(FTP.makeport): call listen(1) instead of listen(0)
        so it works on Solaris 2

        * Modules/makesetup: reverse order of DEFS so first Setup file can
        override; any non-cpp uppercase option is sent to the linker

Wed Feb 16 10:26:59 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Objects/fileobject.c: add name, mode, softspace and closed

========================================================================
Release of 1.0.1 (Feb 15 1994)
========================================================================

Tue Feb 15 11:32:42 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Lib/string.py (atof): force the result to be float

        * Python/modsupport.c (do_arg): don't use a local object va --
        this doesn't work on some compilers (e.g. WATCOM)

Mon Feb 14 10:52:01 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Lib/dospath.py: proper version by Jaap Vermeulen

        * Makefile.in (Makefiles): add semicolon after ) which some Make
        versions need

        * Doc/libposix.tex: added doc for posix.fdopen

        * README: add Sequent and NeXT to list of platforms; add
        troubleshooting section; add hist about -Dindex for readline

        * Lib/os.py: generalize to many os specific modules using a
        dictionary

        * Lib/ospath.py: now obsolete; use os.name to import the right one

        * configure.in: change order of -lsocket and -lnsl and insert
        -linet in between, so it works on Sequent (it still works on
        Solaris 2 -- hope it still works elsewhere as well); add test for
        _NEXT_SOURCE (then define _POSIX_SOURCE); remove test for dlopen;

        * configure.in, acconfig.h, */modsupport.[ch]: rename
        HAVE_VARARGS_PROTOTYPES to HAVE_STDARG_PROTOTYPES, to avoid
        confusion

        * Include/modsupport.h: no prototypes for getargs() and mkvalue()
        in case no varargs prototypes

        * Lib/test/test_grammar.py: don't import sleep from time, but time
        (since sleep has portability problems)

Fri Feb 11 23:47:46 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Parser/intrcheck.c: added QUICKWIN version (doesn't really
        work); fixed MSDOS version to also set a SIGINT handler.

        * Modules/timemodule.c (time_sleep): declare sigsave 'auto' hoping
        this will avoid restoring its pre-setjmp value.  On non-threaded
        systems declare it 'static' since at least Microsoft C still puts
        the auto variable in a register causing a bug...  Also implement
        the MSDOS version of floatsleep() using a busy-wait loop calling
        intrcheck()

Wed Feb  9 11:43:11 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        functions and getdate(), getaddr(), getaddrlist() methods; added
        test code when run as script

        * Include/pythonrun.h, Python/pythonrun.c: cleanup() is now
        externally visible, for the benefits of embedded use.

Mon Feb  7 09:50:16 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        making of .o files but keeps processing of libraries and module
        names)

        * Makefile.in (libainstall): install Setup, makesetup, config.c.in

        * Modules/Setup*: added -lX11_s to line for gl module

        * Demo/scripts/unbirthday.py: new script, print unbirthday count

        * Modules/audioopmodule.c: removed hack for signed on sun
        (there's now a test in the configure script); check that if
        'signed' is defined away characters aren't unsigned

        * Modules/posixmodule.c: include mytime.h (for clock_t on NeXT)

        * acconfig.h: add entry for 'signed' keyword

        * configure.in: remove const from check for exec prototypes; add
        check for signed keyword and check for whether chars are unsigned

Fri Feb  4 13:07:03 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Modules/makesetup: added usage message, -c and -m options to
        specify config.c.in and Makefile.pre input files, -s option to
        specify source directory, added comments

        * Modules/Setup.in: remove -lm from imgfile entry

        * Modules/nismodule.c: only define YPPROC_MAPLIST, YPPROG and
        YPVERS if not already defined

        * configure.in, acconfig.h, Include/modsupport.h,
        Python/modsupport.c: added separate check for varargs prototypes
        (HAVE_VARARGS_PROTOTYPES)

Thu Feb  3 11:00:26 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Python/bltinmodule.c (filterstring): fix core dump of func ==
        None

        * Lib/string.py: replace atoi_error, atof_error, atol_error by
        ValueError when the strop versions are used

        * Modules/stropmodule.c: added atol(), added optional base
        argument to atoi() and atol()

        * Objects/longobject.c, Include/longobject.h: added long_escan
        (like long_scan but raises exception for bad base and stores end
        of string into return argument)

        * Objects/rangeobject.c (range_repr): repr must use "xrange..."

Wed Feb  2 12:28:04 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Modules/stropmodule.c: added atoi() and atof()

        * Python/modsupport.c: use stdarg.h / varargs.h depending on
        presence of prototypes

        * Modules/timemodule.c (floattime): try ftime() or time() if
        gettime() fails

        * Doc/Makefile (python-lib.info): change makeinfo option style
        from +foo to --foo

        * Doc/README: remove invalid reference to ../misc/FTP; update
        description of making the info version

        * Doc/{fix.el,fix_hack,whichlibs}: minor updates/corrections

Mon Jan 31 11:16:38 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Python/import.c: only use shared libraries if HAVE_DLOPEN *and*
        HAVE_DLFCN_H are defined; define symbol USE_SHLIB then

        * Doc/tut.tex: lots of small changes by Tim Peters: typos,
        out-of-date examples, restrictions lifted, new and better ways to
        do some things...

Fri Jan 28 10:59:48 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * README: added Minix note

        * Lib/sunau.py: correct byte count calculation from frame rate

        * Python/import.c: use RTLD_NOW (define as 2 if undefined)

        * Makefile.in: "make (local)clean" shouldn't bother about Include;
        added .PRECIOUS: config.status

        * Modules/md5.h: define PROTOTYES as 1 if HAVE_PROTOTYPES is
        defined

        * Modules/md5module.c: grand cleanup

        * Modules/Setup.sgi: renamed to Setup.irix4

        * Modules/Setup.sunos5: renamed to Setup.solaris2

        * Modules/Setup.in: some makes (e.g. Ultrix) don't strip trailing
        whitespace from variable definitions -- make sure there isn't any
        in the defs used to generate PYTHONPATH

        * Many modules and objects: use 'staticforward' where needed

        * Include/object.h: added #define 'staticforward' as either static
        or extern depending on BAD_STATIC_FORWARD

        * acconfig.h: added BAD_STATIC_FORWARD

        * configure.in: added test for bad static forward

Mon Jan 10 10:35:21 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Modules/md5module.c: SCO ODT 3.0 dependent fix

        * Objects/xxobject.c: quote size fields as tp_basicsize instead of
        (incorrectly) tp_size

        * Objects/listobject.c (cmp): arguments must be const!!!

        * Modules/imageopmodule.c: another attempt at casting away
        warnings about changed semantics in ANSI C

        * Modules/regexpr.c: cast away warning about changed semantics in
        ANSI C

        * Modules/Makefile.pre.in: add LIBC_S (shared version of -lc, to
        be figured out by configure)

        * README, Python/version.c: version 1.0.0 BETA 6

        * README: fixed description of Setup (which was buried under the
        SVR4 exception!); added description of --prefix, --exec-prefix,
        --with-libm and --with-libc

        * configure.in: added --with-libc=... and --with-libm=...

        * Modules/Makefile.pre.in: Remove dependency of Setup on Setup.in,
        so it is only copied when Setup does not exist at all; add
        prefix=/usr/local so Setup can base default path on --prefix
        option to toplevel configure script

        * Modules/Setup.in: clarified build procedure in comments; don't
        include GNN's timing module by default; use $(prefix) instead
        requiring manual edit of DESTDIR

        * Makefile.in: replace DESTDIR by prefix and exec_prefix and
        updated affected targets; added inclinstall and libainstall
        targets

        * Objects/accessobject.c: removed (???) from comment to avoid
        trigraph warning

        * Makefile.in (libinstall): correct typo: (D)DESTDIR

Fri Jan  7 10:34:43 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * README: describe --with-sgi-dl and --with-dl-dld

        * Python/Makefile.in: compile import.c with -I$(DLINCLDIR)

        * Python/import.c: check for WITH_SGI_DL and WITH_DL_DLD

        * acconfig.h: added WITH_SGI_DL and WITH_DL_DLD

        * configure.in: added --with-sgi-dl=DIR and
        --with-dl-dld=DIR,DIR; now require --with-readline=DIR and test
        for existing directory

        * Lib/test_audioop.py: new module to test (you guessed it) audioop

        * Modules/audioopmodule.c: got rid of adpcm32lin and lin2adpcm3 --
        Jack says they're not useful

========================================================================

Thu Jan  6 13:36:32 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * readline/Makefile: remove some cruft so it works with VPATH

        * Lib/aifc.py: remove dependencies on AL (Sjoerd)

        * README: describe new Setup procedure

        * Modules/Makefile.pre.in: copy Setup from $9srcdir)/Setup.in so
        it *really* works with VPATH

        * Modules/Setup: renamed to Modules/Setup.in

        * Python/pythonmain.c (realmain): fclose script file

        * Python/import.c (get_module): fix important leak: close the .py
        file after parsing!

        * README, Python/version.c: version 1.0.0 BETA 5

Wed Jan  5 16:42:35 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Modules/rgbimgmodule.c: Only include <unistd.h> if it exists

        * Modules/timemodule.c: don't include sys/time.h on the Mac

        * Modules/stdwinmodule.c (initstdwin): don't fuss with sys.argv on
        the mac -- so {check,putback}stringlist aren't needed there

        * Parser/intrcheck.c: Make sure <MacHeaders> is included before
        any other include file

        * Modules/audioopmodule.c: include math.h after allobjects.h (so
        the latter can be a precompiled header file on the Mac)

Wed Jan  5 15:34:26 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@poseidon.cwi.nl)

        * Python/pythonrun.c (sighandler): only call kill(getpid()) if

        call wargc() in main(); 1994 copyright

        getcopyright() (foei!); insert "Python " before version on banner

        * Python/pythonmain.c: added declarations for getversion() and
        getcopyright() (foei!); default startupfile to "PythonStartup" on
        Macintosh; add fclose(fp) for startupfile; insert "Python " before
        version on banner

Wed Jan  5 01:21:59 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * README, version.c: bumped version to 1.0.0 BETA 4

        * README: removed all references to --with-solaris; updated list
        of files and directories

        HAVE_SYS_AUDIOIO_H is defined

        * Python/thread.c: define SOLARIS if HAVE_THREAD_H is defined

        * configure.in: added test for <thread.h> (SOLARIS thread
        interface); remvoe test for --with-solaris

========================================================================
Release of 1.0.0 BETA 3 (Jan 5 1994)
========================================================================

Wed Jan  5 00:18:45 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * {Parser,Objects,Python,Makefile}/Makefile*in: made depend target
        work with VPATH

        * README: describe new build procedure; added section on building
        for multiple architectures

        * acconfig.h: fix (reversed!) comment for SYS_SELECT_WITH_SYS_TIME

        * Modules/Makefile.pre.in: copy Setup from $(srcdir) if not
        present, and use local Setup as input for makesetup script

Tue Jan  4 12:32:16 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Note that there are no functional changes below -- just changes
        to the build process and changes to avoid compiler warnings

        * Modules/Setup: disable nis as well by default, change the
        pertaining comments, and change the comments about the multimedia
        modules to be default on

        * fixed all warnings about function pointer initializations, and
        miscellanous other warnings (e.g. about extern forward references
        to static variables); touched random bits of code as a consequence

        * changed configuration process and Makefiles to support VPATH;
        for this, config.h(.in) now lives to the toplevel directory, the
        toplevel Makefile is now created by configure as well, and various
        improvements to it have been made (e.g. working tags and TAGS
        targets), the makesetup script follows configure instead of
        preceding it, it understands srcdir and has an exception for
        glmodule.c, the intermediate file is called Makefile.pre, the
        Makefiles don't use TOP any more and are much more careful about
        the difference between .. and the toplevel directory, and I've
        improved my understanding of how configure handles srcdir

        * Modules/threadmodule.c: refuse to compile when WITH_THREAD is not
        defined

        * configure.in, acconfig.h, config.h.in, Include/ceval.h,
        Modules/{stdwin,thread}module.c, Python/{ceval,pythonrun}.c:
        renamed USE_THREAD to WITH_THREAD

        * configure.in: add AC_PROG_INSTALL

        * README, Python/version.c: version set to 1.0.0 BETA 3

        * Demo, Include, Lib: added Makefile with clean/clobber targets

        * README: added remarks on --with-svr4; unnumber special cases

        * configure.in: only look for -lnsl and -lsocket if --with-svr4 is
        specified, to avoid linking with them on IRIX 5

Release of 1.0.0 BETA 2 (Jan 3 1994)
========================================================================

Mon Jan  3 22:21:24 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * Include/myselect.h: fix typo in name of SYS_SELECT_WITH_SYS_TIME

        * Parser/pgen.h: moved here from Include; removed extern
        definition of 'gram'

        * Parser/acceler.c: include node.h, now needed by parser.h

        * README: added paragraph on testing

        * Misc/python.man: changed date and add 1994 copyright

        * Makefile: added test target

        * Python/thread.c: include config.h if needed

        * Parser/parser.h: remove references to struct _grammar and
        similar things

        * Modules/rotormodule.c (RTR_e_char, RTR_d_char): avoid warnings
        by picky compilers about unsigned % signed

        * README: added a section on building it for non-UNIX systems

        * Makefile (configure): call autoheader when calling autoconf

        * Include/config.h.in: now generated by autoheader

        * acconfig.h: new file (input for autoheader)

        * configure.in: added AC_REVISION call to top

        * Modules/flmodule.c (form_setattr): one NULL should be 0

        * Include/myselect.h: this now implies mytime.h and attempts to
        work around systems where sys/select.h and sys/time.h can't be
        included together

        * Modules/socketmodule.c, Doc/libsocket.tex: remove socket avail()
        method -- you can use select instead

        * Modules/Setup: disable dbm, it is not truly portable

        * Lib/sunau.py: incorporate one-line fix by Sjoerd

        * Include/pgenheaders.h: include <stdlib.h> if its symbol
        defined, not just on the mac

        * Include/grammar.h: remove redundant structure tags

        * Include/cgensupport.h: avoid possible macro argument
        substitution inside string literal

        * configure.in, Include/config.h.in: add test whether sys/select.h
        and sys/times.h can be included by the same program

        * Include/config.h.in: add lines for HAVE_SYS_UN_H and
        HAVE_GETPEERNAME

        * Extensions/mkext.py: copy change in library order from
        Modules/Makefile.in.in

        * Modules/Makefile.in.in: change library order subtly so -ltermcap
        follows instead of precedes -lgl_s on SGI systems; this solves
        (hides?) problems with clashing entry points

        * configure.in: added sys/un.h to list of tested header files;
        added getpeername to list of tested functions (both for
        Modules/socketmodule.c)

        * Modules/socketmodule.c: conditionally include sys/un.h and
        change tests for AF_UNIX to tests for HAVE_SYS_UN_H; test for
        HAVE_GETPEERNAME instead of NO_PEERNAME

        * Modules/config.c.in: add marshal and __main__ built-in modules

        * Python/sysmodule.c (list_builtin_module_names): sort the list

        * Doc/Makefile: remove 'qua' from default targets

        * Doc/README: add reference to ext.tex, change reference to
        lib*.tex, explain that qua isn't built by default

        * README: explain DESTDIR, clarify install procedure, add more
        explanation to some options, add description of ChangeLog, add
        wuarchive.wustl.edu to list of mirror sites

        * Modules/socketmodule.c: make AF_UNIX code dependent on existence
        of AF_UNIX (SCO ODT 3.0 doesn't support it -- let's hope it
        doesn't define the symbol either)

        * Makefile: attempt to fix install targets (added separate
        libinstall and maninstall)

        * Doc/libregex.tex: documented Tracy Tims' changes

        * Modules/regexpr.c: redid Tracy Tims' changes to minimize diffs
        (only two added lines now)

        * Modules/regexmodule.c: fix core dump when asking a plain regex
        object for a named group

Sun Jan  2 23:10:44 1994  Guido van Rossum  (guido@voorn.cwi.nl)

        * README, Python/version.c: changed version string to 1.0.0 BETA 2

        * Modules/{regexpr.{c,h},regexmodule.c}: merged in Tracy Tims'
        mods for named subexpressions

        * Include/regexpr.h: moved to Modules/regexpr.h

        * Modules/timingmodule.c: change tests for no arguments

        * configure.in: remove strtoul from AC_REPLACE_FUNCS; remove
        initial blank line (which got copied into configure so it wouldn't
        start with #!/bin/sh as required)

        * Python/compile.c: call mystrto(u)l instrad of strto(u)l

        * Python/Makefile.in: add mystrtoul.c to OBJS

        * Python/mystrtoul.c: renamed from strtol.c; renamed functions to
        mystrto(u)l; this is now a standard source file (since some
        systems have a strto(u)l that doesn't report errors properly)

        * Modules/Setup: added entry for timing module

        * Modules/{timing.h,timingmodule.c}: new files implementing GNN's
        timing module
