ChangeLog-2.3.0-2.4.0.log

2022-08-13  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

	* nsf.c: Reduce warnings for other compilers
	[e733b10d]

	* nsf.c: Reduce warnings for clang, as it has no
          "-Wmaybe-uninitialized" flag [97767e2a]

	* Announce2.4.0: Updated announce file [3fcd7b1d]

	* nx.tcl (MetaSlot::createFromParameterSpec): Added a warning,
	when a name of a slot contains characters hinting a typo
	(missing ":") [a9bbc7c7]

	* nsf-gridfs.test: Make test more generic. Previously, the
	test failed, since the file, which was read, was changing its
	size. Now, the number of expected chunks is computed depending
	on the actual file size. [a3b62596]

2022-08-12  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

	* build.yml: Use gcc-11 only for macos, but not for ubuntu-latest

	[e99b56fe, e600d293]

2022-08-11  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

        * nsf.c (Nsf_ObjSetVar2): Address the maybe-uninitialized warnings.
        I do not really like the approach based on pragmas, but i do even
        less like the warnings, when compiled with -pedantic [c8791939]

2022-08-10  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

        *Announce2.4.0: Tested with recent MongoDB (server 5.0.9, driver 1.22.1)
        [f20c1eaf]

	PDF doc generation, PDF-specific CSS now organized as @media print
	queries. [6f2b5aab]

2022-08-08  Stefan Sobernig  <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>

        * doc/Announce2.4.0: Cont'd [skip ci]
        [297884f8]

        * ChangeLog-2.3.0-2.4.0.log: Added entries since late Jan 2021 [skip ci]
        [af95cd6e]

	[982b1e8d]

2022-08-06  Stefan Sobernig  <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>

	* rules.vc: Have TCL_MAJOR_VERSION properly picked up from newer
	tcl.h via nmakehlp [d55aa4b7]

	* makefile.vc: Make sure Tcl 9 handles TIP-595 guessing of the
	_Init function, avoid third argument to load [58a12e0d]

2022-07-31  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

	* nsfDebug.c, nsfPointer.c: Minor polishing [9f2bb394]

	c18dacc8, 584687ed]

2022-07-29  Stefan Sobernig  <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>

	* build.tcl: Turn on debugging (AppVeyor) [b59caea3, 01ff609d,
	a0d10764, 58cb7088, 64ce7231]; try using 7z instead of internal
	unpacking [00ac4c06]

2022-07-29  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

	* nsfAccessInt.h: Fix comment [58c09af3]

	* mongodb/m4/tcl.m4, tcl.m4: Revert back to earlier version of tcl.m4;
	The version from head is not yet ready [d1bea33b]

	* configure, mongodb/configure: Re-generated files [52070e0d]

2022-07-29  Stefan Sobernig  <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>

	* configure, mongodb/configure: Re-generated files [fb1613b4]

	* Makefile.in: Don't include "package provide" Tcl command in
	pkgIndex.tcl file, since the binary performs the provide operation
	[86365e57]

	* mkIndex.tcl: Exclude pkgIndex.tcl from searched files,
	whitespace changes [e2825dd0]

2022-07-27  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

	* Makefile.in: Pack Tcl version into name for Tcl 9.* With Tcl 9,
	it is possible to install NSF for 8.7 and 9.0 in parallel, in the same
	directories. The trick is naming the shared library
	"libtcl9nsf2.4.0.so" instead of "libnsf2.4.0.so" when compiled
	with Tcl 9.0 (keeping the original name when compiled with Tcl
	8.x).  Many thanks to Jan Nijtmans for the patch. [0b577d09]

2022-07-20  Stefan Sobernig  <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>

	* build.yml: Added GitHub event for workflow dispatches
	[42704e31]; cosmetic change to trigger workflow run [d661abd3];
	added build for tcl9 under macOS [8515b3d2]; added build for Tcl 9 (branch trunk)
	[1b526520]

	* nsfAccessInt.h: Fix typo [5e66d95c]

	* nsf.h, nsfAccessInt.h: Improve compatibility with core-8 branch
	[2db70d13]; fix for Tcl versions having Tcl_LibraryInitProc()
	already defined (core-8-branch) [4501d2e2]

	* object-system.test: Report Tcl version at the begin of
	regression test to ease reading output of Git workflows [f546d287]

	* nsf.h: Provide compatibility for core-8-7-a3 [e7b25cd9]

	* nsfAccessInt.h: fix compatibility with earlier versions of Tcl 8.7
	[1a327d6a]

	* nsf.c (ParseContextExtendObjv, AssertionCheck, ListMethod)
	(NsfMethodPropertyCmd, NsfCurrentCmd, NsfRelationSetCmd),
	nsfInt.h: Improve cleanness of compilation under gcc-11+ and
	"-pedantic" + -Wextra" [958b24f9]

2022-07-05  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

	* Makefile.in, generic/nsf*.c, generic/nsf*.h, generic/stubs9.0/*, nsfmongo.c: Added
	support for compiling with Tcl 9.0 (Many Thanks to Jan Nijtmans
	for first steps) This version compiles cleanly at least with Tcl
	8.6.* and Tcl 9.0 (fossil main) having -pedantic and -Wextra defined. [e48161ab]

2022-04-29  Stefan Sobernig  <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>

	* ChangeLog-2.3.0-2.4.0.log: Adding changelog entries since July/ August 2021.
	[9b3cf1ba]

2022-01-22  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

	* next-migration.txt, next-tutorial.txt: Improve spelling [a1996616]

	* nsf.c (NsfParseArgsCmd): Cleanup to avoid memory leak in cases
	the Tcl_DictObjPut fails [e3f1c112]

2022-01-21  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

	* nsf.c (NsfParseArgsCmd): Added option "-asdict" to
	nsf::parseargs. The new option makes it easier to process the
	parsed argument in different contexts [b2781b9d]

2022-01-18  Stefan Sobernig  <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>

        * build.yml, appveyor.yml: Bumps to 8.6.12 and 8.7a5
        [96f4eb32]

2022-01-03  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

        * nsf.c (ListMethodKeys), nx.tcl, class-method.test, methods.test,
	plain-object-method.test: Include alias to object in "info methods
	-path" Previously, it was not possible to define an alias to an
	object for NaviServer, since it was not returned by "info methods
	-path" and was, therefore, not included into the blueprint. Extended
	regression tests. [40b842e5]

2021-12-03  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

        * nsf.c (CallStackDoDestroy): Improve function description [344ce3ff]

2021-10-12  Stefan Sobernig  <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>

        * nsfAccessInt.h (TclFreeIntRep): A recent name reform requires an
	explicit define for backwards compat. [7645e8f8]

        * nx-zip.tcl: Add closing paren in comment [8bb94eca]

2021-10-08  Stefan Sobernig  <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>

        * nx-zip.tcl (writeToZipFile): 'writeToStream' requires a command
	prefixed defined by an object variable 'writer'. In a direct call
	on 'writeToZipFile', this variable was not defined. Thanks to
	Héctor Romojaro for the catch and patch. [2a99a6a1]

2021-09-01  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>
s
        * nx-zip.tcl: Use buffered ns_connchan for writing to slow

	structure (NsfColonCommandContext) [da6d8cc3]

2021-07-24  Stefan Sobernig  <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>

        * nsf.c (NsfUnsetTrace, VolatileMethod): Plug a post-mortem
	memleak related to volatile objects (The Tcl_Obj carrying an
	auto-qualified object name was not cleaned up properly during
	interp shutdown because the matching decrement operations used to
	be disabled during shutdown.) [fc14b058]

        * nsf.c (ObjectDispatch): Fix invalid read as indicated by
	valgrind by guarding access to intrep.
        [a6e4b1ad]

        * README.release: Describe valgrind via vagrant procedure
        [304b0654]

2021-07-23  Stefan Sobernig  <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>

	[999de5b9]

2021-07-14  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

	* nx-zip.tcl: Added support for returning streaming zip files via
	HTTPS. The old version was just replying via ns_write, which can be
	only used for plain TCP connections (no TLS). [4f198095]

2021-07-08  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

	* nsf.c (MakeProc): Fixed false positive from facebook infer 1.1.0

	passed to non-null arguments, dead assignment, ...)
	[e791865c]

2021-06-09  Stefan Sobernig  <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>

	* build.yml, appveyor.yml: Add 8.7a5 branch to build matrices. [2a01cc6f]

	* nsf.c (Nsf_Init): Plumb a small memory leak due to not clearing
	mp_int data. Make sure _not_ to use mp_clear (TIP 538). [5338fea8]

	* ChangeLog-2.3.0-2.4.0.log, Announce2.4.0: Continued work on
	release files [63b2e82e]

2021-06-05  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

	* nsfmongo.c, nsf.c: Update copyright dates [6b1f85df]

	* nsfmongo.c: Minor cleanup: reduce strlen operations, reduce
	hard-coded constants, perfer Tcl_Obj based interfaces of string
	based ones (opens opportunities for special objtypes) [725dc72f]

2021-05-25  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

	* nsf.c (ParamOptionParse): Do not support predefined parameter
	options spelled with trailing content This change makes argument
	type checking more strict by rejecting names as synonyms which are
	longer than the specified values.  Background: Previous versions
	did not handle cases correctly where an application type name
	starts with the same characters as a built-in type. So it was not
	possible to define a type "object_id", since a a spec of the form
	"x:object_id" was interpreted as "x:object". [9bc1a996]

2021-05-13  Stefan Sobernig  <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>

	* build.yml: clang 11 is default on macos-latest runners; add

	[7bb2abc4]

2021-05-11  Stefan Sobernig  <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>

	* nsfAccessInt.h (TclIsCommandDeleted), nsf.c, nsfObj.c: More
	recent Tcl 8.7 (starting Sep 2020) has replaced the macro
	CMD_IS_DELETED by CMD_DYING. [e01e3055]

2021-05-05  Stefan Sobernig  <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>

	* nsf.c (ParamOptionParse): Simplify option parsing for
	substdefault; Tcl_GetInt knows how to handle 0b binary constants,
	no expr call needed. [9e705a33]

	* nsf.c (VolatileMethod): Save a little by checking first chars
	[eb3b441c]

2021-05-02  Stefan Sobernig  <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>

	* nsf.c (VolatileMethod), volatile.test: Fix volatile for XOTcl 2:
	frame skipping must be limited to configure, otherwise, for self
	calls (e.g., 'my volatile'), the sentinel variable plus unset
	trace become created in the wrong callframe context (leading to
	corruption of any non-proc callframe); added test cases
	[3916bf00]

2021-02-17  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

	* nsfProfile.c (NsfProfileDebugExit): Fix provided length values
	for string arguments [460ae16a]

	* nx.tcl: Make warning message more precise about unexpected slot
	structures during delete [473a993c]

	* generic/nsf.c, generic/nsf.h, generic/nsfAPI.decls,
	generic/nsfAPI.h, generic/nsfInt.h, library/mongodb/mongoAPI.h:
	Added enumeration values [f0f87b41]

	* gentclAPI.tcl: Added support for enumeration values replaced
	anonymous arrays by dicts [91a7b7d1]

2021-01-02  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

	* generic/gentclAPI.tcl, generic/nsfAPI.h: Improve type safety of

	Improve spelling [18b65162]

2020-10-28  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

	* nsf.c (ObjectDispatch): Add one more test to sanity check
	[a4cc4075]; added debugging output for a case, where a Tcl cmd
	looks perfectly fine, but its procPtr (scripted cases) contains
	invalid data [57eb831d]

	* nx.tcl: Reduce debugging output [226d979a]

2020-10-27  Gustaf Neumann  <neumann@wu-wien.ac.at>

	* nsf.c, nsf.h, nsfInt.h, nsfStubLib.c: Make clean compile, when
	TRACE flags are defined

	* nsf.c (Nsf_Init): Do not try to initialize Tcl_TomMath_InitStubs when
	TCL_MAJOR_VERSION > 8 || TCL_MINOR_VERSION > 6 [4bd7db4e]

	* nsf.c (Nsf_ConvertToInt32): Include for Tcl 8.5 tclTomMath.h to
	define the mp_int type [61c07a2b]; check, if the flag MP_INT_DECLARED
	is defined in 8.7* builds [f3258689]

	* nsf.c (Nsf_ConvertToInteger): Avoid creation of
	Tcl_NewBignumObj() when argument is already of the bignum type
	[9d4daad1];  added mp_int type definion for Tcl >= 8.7
	see:
	https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/tktview/4663e0636f7a24b9363e67c7a3dd25e9e495be17 [e157ce6c]; getting rid of mp_free (we still need the type for mp_int)
	[0e957261]

2020-08-30  Stefan Sobernig  <stefan.sobernig@wu.ac.at>

	* win/rules.vc: Starting with recent 8.7, there is no 't' suffix
	appended to binaries and libs anymore, to indicate a threaded
