================================= ==> Release 1.1 (11 Oct 1994) <== ================================= Tue Oct 11 16:24:42 1994 Guido van Rossum * last-minute changes for SunOS 4.1.3: test for volatile in configure; add getargs.o dependency to Modules/Makefile.in; some things in README and Misc/NEWS; change pathnames in Demo/tkinter/guido/*.py; new date in Doc Mon Oct 10 19:00:34 1994 Guido van Rossum * Makefile.in: apply ranlib to installed libraries * Modules/socketmodule.c: new style * Doc/ref3.tex: some stuff about __getattr__ etc. Thu Oct 6 16:40:05 1994 Guido van Rossum * 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 * 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 * 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 * 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 * 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 * 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 * 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 * Objects/longobject.c (newlongobject): fix long(0x80000000) and add warning that it isn't actually correct on 64-bit machines; include 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 "" 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 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 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 methods that or return addresses. * Doc/libtypes.tex (subsubsection{File Objects.}): documented writelines. Tue Jun 21 15:54:36 1994 Guido van Rossum (guido@voorn.cwi.nl) * Lib/aifc.py: avoid calling read(0) * Lib/sgi/cddp.py: added some functionality (Sjoerd) * 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.

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;

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;

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 ======================================================================== Release of 1.0.0 BETA (Jan 1 1994) ========================================================================
