ChangeLog

+Mon Feb 13 12:39:16 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
+
+	* README: removed remark on NeXT and -posix since this is now done
+	by configure
+
+	* Mac/config.c, Modules/config.c.in (getversion): tack compiler
+        name and version (where known) onto version string
+
+	* Python/{ceval.c,bltinmodule.c}: call __import__ with 4
+	arguments: modulename, globals, locals, list_of_from_names_or_None
+	(for Ken Manheimer)
+
+	* Objects/floatobject.c: work-around for NeXT Sparc 3.3 prerelease
+	(Barry Warsaw)
+
+	* Python/ceval.c (eval_code): call locals_2_fast before doing
+	import from (Jim Roskind)
+
+Fri Feb 10 17:08:35 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
+
+	* Objects/object.c (newvarobject), Include/objimpl.h: make size
+        argument signed
+
+	* Include/allobjects.h, several other files: introduce
+	Py_CHARMASK(c) which expands to c&0xff, or just c if characters
+	are unsigned.  This should fix problems with passing negative
+	values to isspace() and friends for characters > 0x7f on systems
+	where 'char' is signed
+
+Thu Feb  9 10:26:21 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
+
+	* Lib/copy.py: added __doc__ strings
+
+	* Lib/shelve.py: added __doc__ strings
+
+	* Lib/anydbm.py: added __doc__ strings and test for gdbm
+
+	* Include/longintrepr.h: remove untrue comment about
+	signed/unsigned ob_size
+
+	* Modules/mpzmodule.c (mpz_div_and_mod): add proper casts (Jim
+	Fulton)
+
+Wed Feb  8 15:48:24 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
+
+	* Python/bltinmodule.c (do_pow), Objects/floatobject.c
+	(float_pow): move check for negative float to the float power to
+	the pow() function, so negative float to the integer power can be
+	implemented correctly (after coercion to float)
+
+Tue Feb  7 10:14:34 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
+
+	* Python/import.c (init_frozen): make it non-static, so
+	frozenmain.c can use it.  Also remove the reference to
+	frozenmain.o from Python/Makefile.in
+
+	* Doc/{ref6.tex,ref7.tex} (raise, except): describe classes and
+	instances used as exceptions (R Lindsay Todd)
+
+	* Lib/test/test_exceptions.py: added tests for raising classes (R
+        Lindsay Todd)
+
+	* Python/ceval.c (exec_statement): DECREF result of run_string
+	(Mark Lutz)
+
+	* Modules/cursesmodule.c: patches to clear errors between failing
+	calls to Arg_Parse (Steve Clift)
+
+Fri Feb  3 13:48:12 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
+
+	* Lib/bdb.py (format_stack_entry): append () to function name if
+        no __args__
+
+	* Lib/pdb.py (print_stack_entry): default prompt_prefix is
+        line_prefix, and use the default everywhere
+
+Thu Feb  2 15:27:15 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
+
+	* Python/pythonrun.c (print_error): print class name for
+	exceptions that are classes (R Lindsay Todd)
+
+	* Modules/tkintermodule.c: use PyCallable_Check instead of
+	manually checking for some callable types for callbacks; export
+	TK_VERSION and TCL_VERSION strings; a few Tk 4.0 specific changes
+
+	* Modules/socketmodule.c (initsocket): added a long list of socket
+	related constants -- better here than in a separate python module,
+	because the values change per system (R Lindsay Todd)
+
+	* Doc/{lib.tex,libsignal.tex}: added documentation for signal
+	module (Andrew Kuchling)
+
+Tue Jan 31 13:06:59 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
+
+	* Include/pythonrun.h: remove declaration of (now static)
+	run_pyc_file
+
+	* Modules/posixmodule.c (posix_utime): correct typo in utime()
+	stub
+
+Tue Jan 31 11:02:00 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@guppie.cwi.nl>
+
+	* Modules/{pwdmodule.c,grpmodule.c} (mkpwent, mkgrent): NeXT
+	specific patch for little endian machines where the uid and gid
+	are in the wrong place in the structure (Mike Carlton)
+
+Mon Jan 30 16:17:33 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@voorn.cwi.nl>
+
+	* configure.in: add -posix to definition of CC when detecting Next
+
+Mon Jan 30 13:32:07 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@guppie.cwi.nl>
+
+	* Mac/*: not clearly logged are lots of changes to the Mac
+	specific modules, e.g. reworking of the interrupt detection code
+	and general reorganization of macglue.[ch], as well as support for
+	modules generated by "bgen" (see Demo/bgen), and subsequent
+	removal of the resource and sound interfaces from MacOS (since
+	they now have their own, complete, generated interface), and also
+	lots of development on the mactcp and macfs front
+
+	* Modules/stdwinmodule.c (initstdwin): disable python's own event
+	processing on the mac as soon as stdwin is imported; removed some
+	unused variables
+
+	* Parser/intrcheck.c: moved all mac specific stuff to
+	Mac/macglue.c
+
+	* Python/pythonrun.c (goaway): Think C mod to suppress pausing at
+        normal exit
+
+	* Python/import.c (imp_get_magic): fix glaring indexing bug
+
+	* Modules/dbmmodule.c (dbm_keys): fix memory leak and tighten
+	error checking (and redo lay-out)
+
+Fri Jan 27 00:00:17 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@zeus.cwi.nl>
+
+	* Objects/listobject.c: round up item count on resize to improve
+	realloc performance (dramatic effect in the Mac with Think C!)
+
+	* Include/{rename2.h,methodobject.h}, Objects/methodobject.c:
+	added support for chaining method lists: Py_FindMethodInChain
+
+Thu Jan 26 12:59:51 1995  Guido van Rossum  <guido@guppie.cwi.nl>
+
+	* Python/Makefile.in: removed frozenmain.o from OBJS -- it has no
+	business being in libPython.a.  (Still build it though.)
