can be found in the changes file at the root of the source tree. The
more complete ChangeLog is also included with each source release.
This release is the third alpha release of 8.6. The alpha moniker means
that it is in feature addition mode. All bug fixes (and some more) up
to and including 8.5.5 changes are included in 8.6a3. The following
list focuses on new features added so far in 8.6. This release is a
development release, and should only be considered for deployment use
after considerable testing.

the list.
2008-10-05 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.decls: CONSTified the AuxDataType argument
* generic/tclCompCmds.c: of TclCreateAuxData and

* generic/tclIntDecls.h: regenerated
This change complies with TIP #27 (even though it only involves
internal function, so this is not even necessary).
2008-10-05 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclIndexObj.c (TclInitPrefixCmd): Make the [tcl::prefix]
into an exported command. [Bug 2144595]

yet. [Bug 2059262]
2008-10-04 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclOOInfo.c (GetClassFromObj): Factor out the code to parse
a Tcl_Obj and get a class. Also make result handling hygienic.
* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOOSelfObjCmd): Better hygiene of results,
and stop allocating quite so much memory by sharing special "method"
names.
2008-10-04 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* doc/ChnlStack.3: CONSTified the typePtr argument
* doc/CrtChannel.3: of Tcl_CreateChannel and Tcl_StackChannel

* generic/tcl.h
* generic/tclIO.h
* generic/tclIO.c
* generic/tclDecls.h: regenerated

TIP #195 IMPLEMENTATION
* generic/tclIndexObj.c (TclGetIndexFromObjList, PrefixMatchObjCmd)
* doc/prefix.n, tests/string.test: Added [tcl::prefix] command for
working with prefixes of strings at the Tcl level. [Patch 1040206]
TIP #265 IMPLEMENTATION
* generic/tclIndexObj.c (Tcl_ParseArgsObjv, PrintUsage):
* generic/tcl.h (Tcl_ArgvInfo): Added function for simple parsing of
* doc/ParseArgs.3 (new file): optional arguments to commands. Still
needs tests and the like. [FRQ 1446696] Note that some of the type
signatures are changed a bit from the proposed implementation so that
they better reflect codified good practice for argument order.
2008-10-02 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* tests/info.test (info-23.3): Updated output of the test to handle
the NRE-enabled eval and the proper propagation of location
information through it. [Bug 2017632]

tcltest less specific to accept both .tcl and .tm variants of the file
during matching. [Bug 2129828]
2008-10-02 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
TIP #330 IMPLEMENTATION
* generic/tcl.h: Remove the "result" and "freeProc" fields
* generic/tclBasic.c: from the default public declaration of the
* generic/tclResult.c: Tcl_Interp struct. Code should no longer
* generic/tclStubLib.c: be accessing these fields. Access can be
* generic/tclTest.c: restored by defining USE_INTERP_RESULT, but
* generic/tclUtil.c: that should only be a temporary migration aid.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2008-10-02 Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>

TIP #318 IMPLEMENTATION
* generic/tclCmdMZ.c (StringTrimCmd,StringTrimLCmd,StringTrimRCmd):
Update the default set of trimmed characters to include some from the

field from the internalRep instead of casting the otherValuePtr field
to type long.

* library/init.tcl: export min and max commands from the mathfunc
namespace. [Bug 2116053]
2008-09-16 Joe Mistachkin <joe@mistachkin.com>
* generic/tclParse.c: Move TclResetCancellation to be called on
returning to level 0, as opposed to it being called on starting a
substitution at level 0.
2008-09-16 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Move TclResetCancellation to be called on
returning to level 0, as opposed to it being called on starting a
command at level 0. Add a call on returning via Tcl_EvalObjEx to fix
[Bug 2114165].
2008-09-10 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/binary.n: Added partial documentation of [binary encode] and
[binary decode].
* tests/binary.test,cmdAH.test,cmdIL.test,cmdMZ.test,fileSystem.test:
More use of tcltest2 to simplify the tests as exposed to people.
* tests/compile.test (compile-18.*): Added *some* tests of the
disassmbler, though not of its output format.
2008-09-10 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

* generic/tclCompile.h:
* generic/tclExecute.c (INST_EVAL_STK): Wrong numLevels when evaling a
canonical list. [Bug 2102930]
2008-09-10 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclListObj.c (Tcl_ListObjGetElements): Make this list->dict
transformation - encountered when using [foreach] with dicts - not as
expensive as it was before. Spotted by Kieran Elby and reported on
tcl-core.
2008-09-08 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* tests/append.test, appendComp.test, cmdAH.test: Use the powers of
tcltest2 to make these files simpler.
2008-09-07 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCompile.c (TclCompileTokens):
* generic/tclExecute.c (CompileExprObj): Fix a perf bug (found by Alex

* compat/dirent2.h: to support a TCL_NO_DEPRECATED build.
* compat/dlfcn.h:
* unix/tclUnixPort.h:
* generic/tcl.h: Removed the conditional #define of
_ANSI_ARGS_ that would support pre-prototype C compilers. Since
_ANSI_ARGS_ is no longer used in tclDecls.h, it's clear no one
compiling against Tcl 8.5 headers is making use of a -DNO_PROTOTYPES
configuration.
2008-09-02 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* tests/socket.test: Rewrote so as to use tcltest2 better.
2008-09-01 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdAH.c: NRE-enabling [eval]; eval scripts are now

* generic/tclOOMethod.c (InvokeProcedureMethod):
* generic/tclOO.c (ObjectRenamedTrace): Arrange for only methods that
involve callbacks into the Tcl interpreter to be skipped when the
interpreter is being torn down. Allows the semantics of destructors in
a dying interpreter to be more useful when they're implemented in C.
2008-08-29 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* unix/Makefile.in: Ensure that all TclOO headers get installed.
* win/Makefile.in: [Bug 2082299]

* unix/configure: autoconf-2.59
* win/configure:
2008-08-27 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* doc/tclvars.n, doc/library.n: Ensured that these two manual pages
properly cross-reference each other. Issue reported on Tcler's Chat.
2008-08-26 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c (InfoCoroutine):
* tests/unsupported.test: New command that returns the FQN of the
currently executing coroutine. Lives as infoCoroutine under
unsupported, but is designed to become a subcommand of [info]
2008-08-23 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c (NRInterpCoroutine): Store the caller's eePtr,
stop assuming the coroutine is invoked from the same execEnv where it
was created.
2008-08-24 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclCmdAH.c (TclNRForeachCmd): Converted the [foreach]
command to have an NRE-aware non-compiled implementation. Part of the
[Bug 2017632] project. Also restructured the code so as to manage its
temporary memory more efficiently.
2008-08-23 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclBasic.c: Removed unused var; fixed function pointer
* generic/tclOOInt.h: declarations (why did gcc start complaining
* generic/tclOOMethod.c: all of a sudden?)
* generic/tclProc.c:
2008-08-23 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tclInt.h (EnsembleImplMap): Added extra field to make it
* generic/tclNamesp.c (TclMakeEnsemble): easier to build non-recursive
ensembles in the core.
* generic/tclDictObj.c (DictForNRCmd): Converted the [dict for]
command to have an NRE-aware non-compiled implementation. Part of the
[Bug 2017632] project.
2008-08-22 Miguel Sofer <msofer@users.sf.net>

*** 8.6a3 TAGGED FOR RELEASE ***
* changes: Updates for 8.6a3 release.
2008-10-09 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* generic/tkListbox.c: Make literal return values consistent with
those generated by Tcl_PrintDouble().
* tests/entry.test: Restore test naming consistency with Tk 8.5.
* tests/listbox.test: Remove some more dependency on precision in
* tests/spinbox.test: test results.
2008-10-08 Jan Nijtmans <nijtmans@users.sf.net>
* unix/tcl.m4: fix for bug [2073255]
* unix/configure: regenerated
2008-10-08 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net>
* tests/textDisp.test (textDisp-16.34): Update test that tested
string equality of double values based on an assumption of
tcl_precision==12. Test now does its own formatting.
* tests/scrollbar.test: Revised testing of the cget subcommand so
that it tests consistency with the configure subcommand and not
agreement with a hardcoded value that will change as tastes in
GUIs evolve.
* tests/canvText.test (canvText-17.1): Update expected result to
match revised PostScript output due to more predictable formatting
of floating point values.
* unix/tkUnixWm.c: Restored consistency of error messages from
* macosx/tkMacOSXWm.c: [wm iconphoto] with the test suite and across
* tests/unixWm.test: all platforms. [Bug 2021443]

TIP #236 IMPLEMENTATION
* doc/canvas.n, generic/tkCanvas.c (CanvasWidgetCmd)
* tests/canvMoveto.test: Added 'moveto' subcommand to canvases to
allow items to be easily moved to a particular place.
2008-09-23 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>

is far more useful (it does multicolumn listbox duties). [Bug 2123813]
* doc/*.n: Make sure that the initial line of the manpage includes
nothing that chokes old versions of man. [Bug 2118116]

* unix/tkConfig.sh.in: Added @XFT_LIBS@ to the definition of TK_LIBS
to avoid link failures when a "big wish" program links against a
--disable-shared build of libtk. (Discovered building expectTk.)

we don't create new dependencies on Tcl internals.
* unix/tkUnixPort.h: Removed #include of tclInt.h that has been

is enabled. [Bug 1023955]
2008-08-25 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tkImgPhoto.c (ImgPhotoConfigureMaster): Ensure that uses of
TclStackAlloc and TclStackFree balance.

adoption of ttk widgets. [Bug 1936220]
2008-08-25 Donal K. Fellows <dkf@users.sf.net>
* generic/tkImgPhoto.c: Split the implementation of the core of
* generic/tkImgPhoto.h: photo images into two pieces, the photo
* generic/tkImgPhInstance.c: master (which manages the data model and
the interaction with the script level) and the photo instances (which
handle display).
