- This is the History file of FUDGIT
- ##################################
-
- This file was started from version 1.42. Previous changes are
- various, including global grammar changes.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 1.43
-
- - Creation of History file;
- - Addition of `version' function;
- - Debugging levels rewritten;
- - Grammar changed to consider VEC and PARAM assignments as
- statements rather than being consider as themselves.
- This allows to include such assignments in functions,
- procedures, and loops.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 1.44
-
- - Fixed a bug in show macro.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 1.50
-
- - Grammar changed to allow printing by specifying
- values as in calculator mode from within a statement;
- - Colon separated statements allowed from within statements;
- - Fixed division errors to respond to Infinity checks only;
- - Included cubic spline interpolation.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.00
-
- - Experimental version changing the cmode procedure and function grammar.
- Arguments are now prototypes and functions and procedures
- can thus accept VECTORS and Strings;
- - Fixed a bug not allowing empty lines in cmode stmtlists.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.01
-
- - Inclusion of auto variables anywhere after braces in cmode.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.02
-
- - Few grammar modifications giving more freedom to the user
- (e.g. returning a vector as an expression in a user-defined
- function used in a vector assignment).
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.03
-
- - Fixed a bug in cmode returning functions;
- - Addition of min(x, y) and max(x, y) built-in math functions;
- - Implementation of .ft extension: previous scripts should be renamed!
- Compatible with previous versions.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.10
-
- - Implementation of smooth command;
- - Change of fft and invfft syntax for more freedom on choosing
- output vectors;
- - Fixed fmode var-expansion which was neglecting bltin variables
- and constants;
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.11
-
- - Added Cwd built-in String constant;
- - Made the .ft extension a suggestion rather than in the code.
- However, the program can be compiled with this option by
- setting the EXTENSION variable in fudgit.h. The problem
- remains to load .fudgitrc a second time in a session.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.12
-
- - Fixed a bug in multiple string additions.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.13
-
- - Grammar changed to allow C-like constructions of if, while, for. So
- constructions like
-
- if (condition)
- code; code
- else
- code; code; code
-
- are now legal. Semicolons ';' can now only separate statements, and
- not terminate them. (It leads to tons of shift/reduce conflicts
- otherwise.) Empty statements are '{ }' defined by empty braces;
- - Removed one too many pre-iteration in Marquardt-Levenberg fit;
- - Fixed a little bug making vector loop error report after vector
- interruption.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.14
-
- - Fixed the HPUX version having a mistake on getcwd;
- - Thanks to comments from Ronald Aarts <ronald@lowt.phys.tue.nl>
- function str_l changed for "straight" for consistency
- (with the manual).
- show parameters, function, and method now show full names.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.15
-
- - Fixed a bug on AIX => they are sysV signals;
- - Fixed bugs in show parameters when extra arguments given on AIX;
- - Added a warning if readline cannot find a terminal entry.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.17
-
- - Added built-in function sum(X), summing the elements of a vector;
- - Thanks to comments from Ronald Aarts <ronald@lowt.phys.tue.nl>,
- AIX problem with SIGCHLD signal-wait loop fixed;
- - Undefined PAGER environment variable before calling plotting program
- so that stdin does not get cought by a pager. This is a patch
- to fix a more general bug: a pseudo terminal should perhaps be
- used for the plotting program, but this would require real time
- parsing for variable expansion...
- Thanks to Timothy L. D. Collins <kaph6@central.sussex.ac.uk> for
- comments.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.18
-
- - Thanks to Hermen Pen <hermen@sci.kun.nl>, fixed fft on SunOS.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.20
-
- - First version allowing dynamic loading. Module functions
- or procedures can thus be loaded in the lookup table.
- This option is only available on IRIX (so far);
- - All source files were tediously rewritten (actually tedious^3) to
- prevent function names to overlap. The design has been changed to
- hide (static) irrelevant functions and rename (prepending Ft_)
- global functions;
- - Change history command to load and save history between successive
- sessions;
- - Output of history command now piped in Pager;
- - Output of show table modified to list the argument types of user-defined
- (possibly external) functions and procedures.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.21
-
- - Included a FORTRAN example in the distribution. The vector pointers
- passed to external objects are now pointing to the first
- object in order to allow FORTRAN calls.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.22
-
- - Fixed bug in loading, some doc changes.
- Thanks to Paul Raines <raines@bohr.physics.upenn.edu> for
- constructive remarks.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.23
-
- - Fixed bugs in fft.ft, and some non standard statements.
- Thanks to Paolo Petta <paolo@oefai.ai.univie.ac.at>.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.24
-
- - This version includes support for dynamic loading on SUNOS
- and ULTRIX (only vax, and it has not been tested);
- - A new command `reinstall' was necessary to deal with the better
- incremental linking done by dld.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.25
-
- - The first full ANSI version: a step towards C++. Some
- inconsistencies were removed in the conversion process;
- - First port to NeXT, mallinfo(3) not supported on it;
- - Implemetation of 'set input' for Read() and a new function
- reading variables 'vread()' from any file;
- - Fixed a bug on cd function on NeXT and ULTRIX.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.26
-
- - Fixes a bug in NeXT crashing on strcpy(0, 0);
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.27
-
- - Port to linux made by Thomas Koenig <ig25@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>
- Thanks a lot Thomas!
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.28
-
- - Port to HPUX 8.07. Thanks to Ian Graham for his constant efforts
- and giving me access to his HP account.
- - A bug was fixed in signals: suspending and fg was killing the program.
- - Part of the lexical analyser was modified in order to leave quotes
- while used in aliases.
- This allows doing:
- fudgit> alias title pmode set title
- and then type
- fudgit> title "This is a title"
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.29
-
- - Port to Data General made by Matthias Stenzel <stenzel@infpav4.kfk.de>
- Thanks Matthias!
- - Change made to load "-" which closed stdin after ^D;
- - Parts of 'foreach' and 'pmode' were rewritten to get rid of
- a "nonlinear-unpredictable" behavior of popen-signal.
- The plot.c file was rewritten to use non-buffered I/O
- and get rid of reaping the plotting child.
- - Thanks to Michael Kenneth McGaugh <gt1610c@prism.gatech.edu>
- for a lot of constructive remarks on many points. Among
- other things, his advices resulted in a restructuration
- of the Makefiles, and in some of the modifications
- mentioned in the previous point. (system(3) looking for
- his own child on SunOS).
- - Also thanks to:
- Roberto Dominijanni <roberto@banach.nusc.navy.mil>,
- Tuan (T.) Doan <tdoan@bnr.ca>,
- Al Wells <taw@fred.nfuel.com>
- for useful comments.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.30
-
- - Added a reaper to the dead plotting programs. A dead plotting
- program is now an error while in a loop.
- - Made a few changes in the Makefiles. Dynamic loading is now optional.
- - Fixed a few errors in SunOS 4.x makefile.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.31
-
- - Fixed a bug in readline on file name completion;
- - Fixed a bug in command.c closing stdout on show vectors < 24;
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.32
-
- - Removed the 'feature' of READLINE allowing to edit history;
- - Redefined 'unix' macro not supported by some ANSI compilers;
- - Included a different process group for the plotting program fixing
- exit on all SIGINT's;
- - Fixed VI MODE on strict ANSI compilers. Don't forget to have:
- set editing-mode vi
- in your ~/.inputrc file to have VI working.
-
- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
- Version 2.33
-
- - Fixed a bug in set samples after reading a too large file;
- - Fixed an unexpected Cwd behavior when cd was part of a macro;
- - Changed the default upper limit on read/exec line numbers;
