Thu Oct 6 16:40:05 1994 Guido van Rossum <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
|
||||
|
||||
* 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 <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
|
||||
|
||||
* 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 <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
|
||||
|
||||
* 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 <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
|
||||
|
||||
* 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 <guido@cayenne.cwi.nl>
|
||||
|
||||
* 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 <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
|
||||
|
||||
* 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 <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
|
||||
|
||||
* 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
