2006-11-15    ############################################    MK 2.4.9.6

    Please upgrade, this consolidates a year with various fixes.

    Added some notes to the README about building the Python and
    Tcl extensions using various approaches.

    Bumped hardwired Python version number to 2.5 in unix/configure.

2006-11-11    More precise file head/tail marker checks

    The tests for valid head / tail file markers have been relaxed a
    tiny bit, to allow for future file format changes.  This has no
    effect on current uses of MK, the file format remains the same.

2006-11-11    Reformatted all C++ source files

    To get rid of some tab/indent problems accumulated over the last
    few years, I've run all C++ sources through a pretty-print app
    (SourceFormatX, a shareware Windows app).  These sources are all
    being checked-in, so the list of affected files is quite large.

    No semantic changes whatsoever to MK.  All tests pass, as before.

2006-10-31    Fixes for the Python binding

    Fix 64-bit compile with Python 2.5 by Ralf Schmitt, see
    http://www.equi4.com/pipermail/metakit/2006-October/002236.html

    Memory leak fix in PWOMapping.h, by Brian Warner, see
    http://www.equi4.com/pipermail/metakit/2006-October/002229.html

    Fix 64-bit ptr -> int conversions in {PyRowRef,PyView}.cpp, see
    http://systemexit.de/repo/metakit?cs=f8f1ef2f6099

2006-10-31    Fix int overflow in mapped file check

    As reported by Max Kaehn, there is a test in column.cpp which is
    sensitive to integer overflow when two pointers are > 2 Gb apart.
    This may have been an old problem for anyone who uses the default
    memory-mapping files enabled.  Embarassing that this was not caught
    or resolved before, but I was never able to reliably reproduce it.

    This is a potentially serious problem, upgrading is recommended.

2006-10-31    Bring this change log up to date from CVStrac timeline

    I've decided to not adopt the CVStrac system for this change log,
    because having this log inside the source tree is more convenient.

    (08-01) persist.cpp: maintain stable-storage space usage on re-open
    (05-08) view.cpp: fix resource leak in view.cpp
    (01-26) PyStorage.cpp: fix metakit.py pathnames are required to
            be of type str & support unicode filenames in storage()
    (01-25) mk4tcl.cpp: fix crash in mk::select with -keyword search
    (01-24) fileio.cpp: fix compile error in fileio.cpp with mingw
    (01-13) configure.in: tweaks to configure.in to use Tcl stubs when
            compiling a dynamic Mk4tcl on macosx/darwin

2006-01-12    Don't call _open on WinNT, make commit fail on > 2 Gb

    Fixes for the Dec 5 patch to still always support Win98, thx Matt.

    Fix ticket #2, return false on commit if files would exceed 2 Gb.

2006-01-12    Started using CVStrac for this project, makefile tweak

    CVStrac is a CVS browser, bug tracking system, and more.  All files
    have gone through a dummy check-in to complete the transition.  The
    CVS repository is not affected by this change, but this does mean
    that CVStrac only really started tracking changes from here on.

    If it works out well, this CHANGES file will probably be abandoned
    in favor of the "timeline" feature in CVStrac which offers the same
    functionality and *much* more (lots of cross-/hyper-links for one).

    Tweaked Makefile so "make test" does not complain about CVS dir.

2005-12-05    Fix the broken hpux change of 2005-09-06

    It turns out that the 2005-09-06 change, which was rolled back on
    2005-10-01, was simply incomplete.  Now that it works, it has been
adopted on all platforms because it is more portable and equivalent.
    Thx again Matt.

2005-12-05    Better support for UTF-8 file & property names

    Patch submitted by Matt Newman.  Fixes handling of property names
    in a description string to support UTF-8 and %'s in names.  Also
    fix file name handling (convert UTF-8 to native before open).
