Jeremy Hylton 24c3d6080d All the NEWS that I could finish in 15 minutes (and then some)
Removed some attributions from the shorter entries in Changed Modules,
because that section is so long.

Guido van Rossum 4f40c2d49c Many changes suggested by Bob Weiner, mostly small grammatical fixes
or other clarifications, with the occasional plug for BeOpen
PythonLabs thrown in.  Also added a trademarks disclaimer.

Fred Drake 8bdf0bf705 Fix PDF generation.
The \\ introduced in the \author in boilerplate.tex broke the PDF
generation because line breaks are not allowed in the "Document Info"
metadata stored in the PDF file.  This changes the line break to
a ", " (comma-space) in that context.
2000-09-05 15:19:56 +00:00
Fred Drake 82de71dae8 Minor nit to make this work a little better with the PDF generation fix.
This does not change the HTML or PostScript output.

Guido van Rossum fa6013cff0 Don't emit 8 lines of (c) information at startup -- use the same text
as main.c.

Guido van Rossum e905e95721 Barry Warsaw: Fixed -+ operator. Added some new sections. Leave some
XXX notes for now.

I could use help here!!!!  Please mail me patches ASAP.  We may have
to put some of this off to 2.0final, but it's best to have it in shape
now...

Tim Peters 87106b58cf Now that I've got real docs, redirect _DOC_ out of the Python 1.6 tree and
to the new docs.
Added a description to the Tcl/Tk file copies.

Guido van Rossum 10912854a2 Sh*t! Should use $(srcdir)/LICENSE of course. 2000-09-05 04:46:32 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cd28b0210f Install LICENSE as LICENSE.txt in the <prefix>/lib/python<version>
directory.

Guido van Rossum f26cda62b6 The GCC version is loooooooooong; put it on a new line. 2000-09-05 04:40:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d1252395bd Add new builtin commands "copyright", "license", "credits" which

Guido van Rossum 82271161cc Since it looks like the dual license clause may be neither necessary
nor sufficient to make Python 2.0 compatible with the GPL, we won't
bother with it now.

In other words, we're still where we were weeks ago -- CNRI believes
that its license is GPL-compatible, Stallman says it's not.  I'm
trying to arrange a meeting between their lawyers so they can work it
out.  Whether dual licensing is the solution is open at this point.
If it is the (only!) solution, we'll add that to the BeOpen license
for 2.0 final.

Greg Ward 47f99a6174 Fleshed out the section on the setup config file, setup.cfg.
Added a few clarifying footnotes and cross-references.
Various minor tweaks.

Andrew M. Kuchling 5e08a01a98 Various corrections pointed out by Detlef Lannert 2000-09-04 17:59:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f2eac99a4f Added release dates (in some cases detemined by looking at the mtime
of distribution files in ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/src/).

Guido van Rossum a598c93b11 1.6 is history. 2000-09-04 16:26:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1d105d15d3 For this server to work on Windows, directories should use "/" as the
separator in the href, not os.sep.

Added a <title> tag to directory listings.

Bumped version to 0.5.

Guido van Rossum 410a84441d Tim Peters: "Audun S. Runde mailto:audun@mindspring.com wins a
Fabulous Prize for being our first Windows ME tester!  Also our only,
and I think he should get another prize just for that."

Tim Peters 50699215f8 test_mmap wrote null bytes into its expected-output file; this caused me to
waste an hour tracking down an illusion; repaired it; writing/reading non-
printable characters (except \t\r\n) into/outof text-mode files ain't
defined x-platform, and at least some Windows text editors do surprising
things in their presence.
Also added a by-hand "build humber" to the Windows build, in an approximation
of Python's inexplicable BUILD-number Unix scheme.  I'll try to remember to
increment it each time I make a Windows installer available.  It's starting
at 2, cuz I've put 2 installers out so far (both with BUILD #0).

Skip Montanaro b89f41efbc Fixes bug in --with-libdb. If --with-libdb was not specified (default is to
enable it), but db.h was not found, the WITH_LIBDB macros was still being
defined, resulting in compilation errors.  Also added a short explain when
bsddb support wasn't enabled (because db.h wasn't found) when the user
explicitly used --with-libdb on the configure command line.

Andrew M. Kuchling 2cb176f327 Correct docstring about return value when group didn't participate in match
(pointed out by /F)
2000-09-04 03:19:48 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f4d189f70b All right. More uniformity, and extra blank lines. 2000-09-04 01:27:04 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7ca7b5ac93 Use periods, not semicolons between Copyright and All Rights Reserved. 2000-09-04 01:22:12 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2e0d3311f7 Changes in license names by BobW. 2000-09-04 00:58:48 +00:00
Vladimir Marangozov 547936c86f Fix the char* vs. const char* mismatch for the argument of aix_loaderror() 2000-09-04 00:54:56 +00:00
Vladimir Marangozov 58e64a82ee Move down the INT_MAX logic, because HAVE_LIMITS_H was always undefined
and this breaks the AIX build with an INT_MAX redefinition error.
"config.h" is included in pgenheaders.h, so moving this down fixes the
problem.

Guido van Rossum 1d62f492b0 Hack the Windows code to use os.popen().
The returned file is assigned to an instance variable;
otherwise the implied close hangs for a long time.
2000-09-03 17:12:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ac1c818f13 Properly name and number the BEOPEN OPEN SOURCE PYTHON LICENSE
AGREEMENT VERSION 1.

trade name -> trade names.

Note: depending on community feedback, we may end up taking the dual
licensing clause out for 2.0b1, and put it back into 2.0final, if
there's no other solution for assuring GPL compatibility by then.

See my message to python-dev and license-py20.

Fredrik Lundh df84675f93 changed \x to consume exactly two hex digits, also for unicode
strings.  closes PEP-223.

also added \U escape (eight hex digits).
2000-09-03 11:29:49 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 03dd010b4f updated SRE test suite (fixes PEP223 problem, shows syntax errors) 2000-09-03 10:43:16 +00:00
Tim Peters acee48628d Repair failing test_sre.py.
This was a funny one!  The test very subtly relied on 1.5.2's
behavior of treating "\x%" as "\x%", i.e. ignoring that was an
\x escape that didn't make sense.  But /F implemented PEP 223,
which causes 2.0 to raise an exception on the bad escape.
Fixed by merely making the 3 such strings of this kind into
raw strings.

Guido van Rossum 6ebd299cee Remove a comma from CWI's copyright notice. 2000-09-03 04:47:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 76ad68ae6e Change the copyright notice according to CNRI's wishes, with
BeOpen.com added to the front.

(Even if maybe we won't print this long banner at startup, the string
must still be defined for sys.copyright.)
2000-09-03 03:35:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 028d06938d Various edits. Most importantly, added dual licensing. Also some
changes suggested by BobW.
2000-09-03 03:13:44 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 1fa0b895ec changed \x to consume exactly two hex digits. implements PEP-223
for 8-bit strings.

Fredrik Lundh 510c97ba2f return -1 for undefined groups (as implemented in 1.5.2) instead of
None (as documented) from start/end/span.  closes bug #113254
2000-09-02 16:36:57 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ff07f8c7ea Patch by Martin von Löwis to give him his umlaut, to remove Christian
Tismer's clone, and to list Hajime Saitou's real name.

Added a note that the file uses Latin-1 (as distributed).
