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

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

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

	* 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

	* 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/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)

	strobject() before using it

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

	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()

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	codehack.getcodename() is obsolete now we have co.co_name; same

	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

	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
	attributes (softspace is also writable).

========================================================================
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)

	* 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

	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()

	include GNN's timing module by default; use $(prefix) instead
	requiring manual edit of DESTDIR

	* 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

	* 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

	* 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

	* 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

	* 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

	added getpeername to list of tested functions (both for
	Modules/socketmodule.c)

	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

	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

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