**************************** Release 3.2 ******************************
Modules 3.2.0
* default for cache is now "no"
* Added version_test() to testsuite to make some of the
tests conditional on the values generated by --version.
* Reworked every configure-based file
- the configure options help is formatted with AC_HELP_STRING
- uses automake to generate most of the Makefile.in
- renamed configure.in to configure.ac per autoconf
- Versioning is optional now with a configure option
- reworked the init scripts for versioning or not
- eliminated acconfig.h and put templates in configure.ac
- make install now honors the DESTDIR variable for package builds
- honors bindir for modulecmd location
(but the init scripts are only correct if no versioning)
* Collected the usage info and now it can be displayed with
the --help or -H option (same as help)
* --version now gives most of the optional configure parameters
for easy debugging of problems
* Made the output deterministic (sorted) and reworked tests also
* Fixed the UserLevel check code (which failed when optimized)
* Fixed bug in "Switch" command when --enable-free was set
* Added or Fine-tuned the --enable-shell-funcs, --enable-shell-alias
and --enable-shell-eval configure options. The configure script
will test for the existence of the first two properties in /bin/sh
where the options can override the tested values. Made the
associated tests conditional on the existence of these properties.
* The configure script now tests how large env.vars. can be for
/bin/csh, the default behavior is if > 4000 then do not set
--with-split-size, else if smaller then set to the tested
value - 20. If the option is given, but no value, then set
to 1000.
* Fixed the tests to work when --enable-beginenv ... also changed
the error message when disabled.
* Added and set the default for --enable-beginenv=test, which means
that this feature is enabled by the user by setting the
MODULESBEGINENV env.var. for a file name (allows one level
of variable expansion).
* Have the caching skip version control directories (CVS, RCS, .svn)
unless they have a .version file then assume the directory is
a genuine modulefiles directory.
* Expand '$$' to the current process id when performing one
level of variable expansion for the MODULESBEGINENV env.var
* Fixed up the automake/autoconf scripts to create a workable
distribution tarball
* Fixed the configuration behavior if --exec-prefix is given
Also put the init/ scripts under the --exec-prefix, but
keep the special bin scripts under the --prefix root.
* Updated the config/tcl.m4 (used by configure)
* Eliminated any warnings caused by using Tcl 8.4
* Fixed any mixed size differences when using ints and pointers.
(Only an issue with 64 bit machines.)
* Updated the init* subcommands to work on multiple "module load"
lines in the "dot rc" files. Added a suite of tests too.
* Eliminated the --with-force-path option, with the attendant
code. It was supposed to make sure PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
contain some minimum set of paths ... it was rarely, if ever,
used.
Contributor:
Andrew Ruder <aer@absoft.com>
* cmdConflict.c: Fixed memory allocation bug in cmdPrereq().
When there is more than 1 argument to the prereq command, both
savedlens and savedlists were indexed past what the initial malloc
allowed.
* ModuleCmd_Refresh.c: Like "update" but refreshes only the
non-persistent attributes of the currently loaded modules,
regardless of the state of the loaded modules (i.e. refresh
aliases).
Contributor:
Mark Lakata <lakata@mips.com>
* removed configure *.in files from testsuite and added envvars to
allow running the testsuite from another directory
* other fixes to testsuite
* allowed one argument for 'switch', i.e. "module switch foo/1.3"
is the same as "module switch foo foo/1.3"
* bug fix in cmdXResources regarding parsing the XRDB
* removed probetcl from distribution; function moved to aclocal.m4
* special shell chars in env vars are escaped rather than
quoted. This allows the use of single quotes inside the env var
* noglob option turned on for module command in csh/tcsh
* use customed temp file routine, rather than tmpnam or tempnam
* minor bugs
**************************** Release 3.1 ******************************
Modules 3.1.6
Thu Jan 3 20:56:16 PST 2002 R.K. Owen (rk@owen.sj.ca.us)
Contributors:
Scott Gaskins <sgaskins@us.ibm.com>
Leo Butler <lbutler@brocade.com>)
Philip Kearns <Philip.Kearns@tellabs.com>
Andy Bruce <abruce@infocruiser.com>
* A 'break' in a modulefile will cause the modulefile to
not be added to $LOADEDMODULES, but will be considered
a successful execution to not affect other modulefiles
being loaded concurrently (Patch due to Scott Gaskins).
* Tests and docs added for the above.
* Added CYGWIN/Windows specific code (due to Andy Bruce)
* Fixed problem with module load when the full path
is given (patch due to Scott Gaskins).
* Added tests for the above problem.
* Added the Modules-Paper in PDF format (thanks to Philip Kearns
and Leo Butler for raising the issue).
* Modified probetcl to avoid using the -c option
(patch due to Philip Kearns).
* Modified probetcl to use tclsh first then tcl
* Added TCL_VERSION to configure and use it in the Makefile
to use the -ltcl@TCL_VERSION@ library.
Modules 3.1.5
Sat Aug 18 07:32:48 PDT 2001 R.K. Owen (rk@owen.sj.ca.us)
Contributors:
Eric Stanley <barnabas@knicknack.net>
* Fixed up cmdPath to remove individual items from a path
(patch due to Eric Stanley).
* Fixed problem of failed "module loads" in a modulefile
(patch due to Eric Stanley).
Modules 3.1.4
Fri Aug 3 12:45:55 PDT 2001 R.K. Owen (rk@owen.sj.ca.us)
* Some preliminary steps to a rpm file.
* Added bz2 files to distribution mix.
* Fixed "module swap" to put the substituted module in the
same path location as the old. Also added a number of tests
for this feature.
(Bug was pointed out by Leo Butler <lbutler@brocade.com>)
* Added tests for the "is-loaded" modulefile command introduced
back in 3.0.8-rko.
* Fixed up some documents.
Modules 3.1.3
Wed Jul 11 14:30:53 PDT 2001 R.K. Owen (rk@owen.sj.ca.us)
* Added module-cvs modulefile for easy CVS/ftp access to the
modules CVS repository.
* Added README.perl describing Ron Isaacson's Env::Modulecmd
perl module (Ron.Isaacson@morganstanley.com).
* Added document file INSTALL.RH7x which explains how to set up
an modules environment for all users through the system shell
files. Is specific to Linux/RedHat 7.x, but is of general
applicability.
* Added further tests for modulefile "module use dir_path"
* Fixed bug of unloading a modulefile with a "module use dir_path"
* Environment variable contents are now quoted to preserve
any embedded environment variables. (Needed for versioning)
* Added over 50 tests specific to module versioning, and testing
xgetenv.
* Fixed the unsetenv on unload function, the feature added in 3.0.6-rko
was supposed to set the env.var. to the optional third argument.
This was to allow old env.var. values to be recovered by unraveling
a stack set in an other env.var. Added tests for this feature.
This is used by the version modulefile.
* Fixed and updated the version modulefile to allow stacked
versions to be removed the stack.
* Removed an annoying spurious stderr newline.
Modules 3.1.2
Fri Jun 8 23:12:24 PDT 2001 R.K. Owen (rk@owen.sj.ca.us)
* Fixed the "module use --append" feature, and fixed the tests
for "module use", "module use --append", and "module unuse".
* Changed the global variable names (flags,current_module) to
(g_flags, g_current_module) to identify their ubiquity in the
module source.
Modules 3.1.1
Thu Feb 1 11:20:44 PST 2001 Robert Minsk (egbert@centropolisfx.com)
Contributors:
Robert Minsk <egbert@centropolisfx.com>
* init file for python added (Robert Minsk)
* Added the beginnings of support for scheme. Still need an init
script. (Robert Minsk)
* Fixed bug with the _LMFILES_ environment variable. If a user was
using a csh variant of a shell and modules was compiled
with with-split-size enable the _LMFILES_ variable was not
handled correctly when it needed splitting. (Robert Minsk)
* Fixed bug with creating aliases for ksh, bash, and zsh to
recognize the escape ("\"). Any time an alias had a "$"
in it a function was created instead of an alias. (Robert Minsk)
* Fixed bug in searching the LOADEDMODULES environment variable.
Would not find a module if only a partial module name was given.
(Robert Minsk)
* Fixed memory corruption bug in LOADEDMODULES environment variable
handling. (Robert Minsk)
* Fixed bug in csh init file. Some versions of csh echo the current
prompt if the shell was in an eval of an eval (eval `eval ...`).
(Robert Minsk)
* Started adding support for mel (Maya Extension Language)
(Robert Minsk)
Note: Since I have just recently become a co-maintainer of modules with
R.K. Owen it has been hard to keep up with user submitted
patches. If you did not receive proper credit for a fix or
enhancement that has appeared in this release you will
receive proper credit in the next release. Robert Minsk
Modules 3.1.0
Contributors:
Jens Hamisch <jens@Strawberry.COM>
Robert Minsk <egbert@centropolisfx.com>
Magnus Holmberg <mho@mho.nu>

* Added source code cross-referencing via cxref-1.5b(patched)
(see http://www.gedanken.demon.co.uk/cxref/ for details).
* Changed the long format, eliminated the release column as a separate
entity. The release value is just part of the package name.
* Added --with-dot.ext[=<.ext>] to configure & DOT_EXT to config.h
for an extension to be added to the shell dot-file names for the
"module init*" commands
* Addes .modules to dot file list for "init*" commands (Magnus Holmberg)
* Matched the "help" and "man module" optional commands more closely
* Fixed man pages it's .modulerc not .modulesrc
* Made it easier to ftp distribution to metalab.unc.edu

* Licensed changed to GPL.
**************************** Release 3.0 ******************************
Modules 3.0.8-rko
Wed May 10 09:45:55 PDT 2000 R.K. Owen (rk@owen.sj.ca.us)
Contributors:
Steve Muskiewicz <smuskiew@nortelnetworks.com>
Robert Minsk <egbert@centropolisfx.com>
* Added another option to the module-info command named "specified"
which gives the name as specified on the command line.
This patch is due to Robert Minsk.
* Added the beginnings of python support. Still need an init
script. This patch is due to Robert Minsk.
* Changed the numbering of modules during a terse listing.
Instead of numbering left-to-right row by row, number
top-down by columns ... this corresponds to the order
of modules. Patch is compliments of Steve Muskiewicz.
* Fixed a modulefile unload of another modulefile problem.
This patch is due to Steve Muskiewicz.
* Fixed swap bug with setenv. Patch due to Robert Minsk.
* Added 'is-loaded' to test whether a given module is loaded
or not already. (need to add testsuite.) Provided by Robert Minsk.
Modules 3.0.7-rko
Fri Apr 7 10:58:45 PDT 2000 R.K. Owen (rk@owen.sj.ca.us)
* Fixed xgetenv
* A bunch of patches from Robert Minsk
that eliminates a lot of the compile time warnings
(mostly unused variables etc.)
* More patches from Robert Minsk for the --disable-cache
option.
* Modified add.modules to provisionally handle .bash_profile
and .bash_login (thanks to Ted Richards).
* Modified the way shell start-up files are specified in init.c
with patches from Max Zomborszki. Now easier for a site
to make local customizations.
Modules 3.0.6-rko
Wed Feb 16 09:06:34 PST 2000 R.K. Owen (rk@owen.sj.ca.us)
* Changed "unsetenv" to allow an optional third argument to
set the env.var. to when unloading.
* Fixed bugs with and upgraded the "module init*" commands.
* Added a preliminary RPM .spec file ... some of the versioning
changes conflict with some RPM features.
Modules 3.0.5-rko (not meant for public release)
Fri Jan 21 18:59:18 PST 2000 R.K. Owen (rk@owen.sj.ca.us)
* Changed the behavior if "module" is called without an argument.
In addition to the error message it prints out the help text.
* Fixed a problem with module swapping. A test needs to be
added to the testsuite.
* Rewrote many of the init files & modified modules to allow
one level of env.var. expansion in the MODULEPATH & MODULERCFILE
environment variables. The purpose is to allow the co-existence
of many versions of the module command.
Only this & successive versions will implement this.
* Got the --with-logging configure option actually doing something
in the code. The default is no syslog-ing.
However, this affects the tests ... expect 3 failures originating
from testsuite/modules.50-cmds/100-loglevel.exp .
(fixed in version 3.0.9-rko)
Modules 3.0.4-rko
Wed Jan 12 09:45:21 PST 2000 R.K. Owen (rk@owen.sj.ca.us)
* Rewrote a lot of the calls to low level Tcl RegExp
routines, which required direct access to the tclRegexp.h
header file.
Used higher level Tcl routines to accomplish the same.
The net result is that modules should be configurable under
any version of Tcl > 7.4 (not tested).
* Rewrote a reference to a low level Tcl glob routine, which
required direct access to the tclInt.h header file.
Used the $HOME environment instead.
* Mean-time hack to support multiple subdirectories for the
"avail" option.
* Fixed the long listings to be Y2K OK.
* Added a version option to print out the module version ...
for future automated scripting.
* Some documentation clean-up.
* Removed all references to PARSEABLE_ERRORS in config.h
and configuration ... since it's not used at all.
* Modified init files because some systems treat undefined
variables in sh/ksh/bash/zsh as errors and terminates login
process (Thanks to Martin Jost).
* Modified Tcl_HashTable declaration initialization to
assignment, because some ANSI C compilers complain
(Thanks to Martin Jost).
Modules 3.0.3-rko
Thu Dec 23 08:20:44 PST 1999 R.K. Owen (rk@owen.sj.ca.us)
* removed the global definition refering to stdout and put
the assignment in one of the routines. This fixes a
compilation problem with RedHat 6.1 & gcc-2.95.
Modules 3.0.2-rko
Thu Nov 11 16:57:30 PST 1999 R.K. Owen (rk@owen.sj.ca.us)
* added the --[enable|disable]-version-magic option to the
configure script and associated sources. However, `disabling'
will break the ./modules.20-locate/030-defvers.exp test.
`disabling' allows older modulefile directories that don't
have .version files with proper module magic cookies to be
parsed.
* Disabled errorlogging if "module avail" can't open a
directory.
* Added some logic in the Makefile & elsewhere to generate
patch-able diff files.
Modules 3.0.1-rko
Tue Oct 26 12:47:58 PDT 1999 R.K. Owen (rk@owen.sj.ca.us)
* misc fixes from compiling with AIX xlc compiler
* cmdInfo - incorrect call to Tcl_SetResult() fixed
Modules 3.0.0-rko
Thu Aug 12 08:32:52 PDT 1999 R.K. Owen (rk@owen.sj.ca.us)
* Grabbed the 3.0beta sources from ftp.modules.org
made wide-spread changes to update it & port it to Linux
* Modified file/routine comments to be visible to cxref
* collapsed sw_human, sw_terse to sw_format & toggling bits
for long/terse/human/parse output options
* Fixed list/avail output
* Added RCS Ids removed SCCS Ids, placed sources into CVS
* Got "module whatis" to list all whatis entries as designed,
but not implemented
* Removed unnecessary & made files from CVS control
* Added several scripts for setting up a modules environment:
add.modules, mkroot
* Minor fixes to init files to eliminate env. variable persistence
* Upgraded man pages and Help
* Wrote INSTALL document to hand-hold the modules novice
* Reworked testsuite to test current results
* Codified distribution based on version level
* Created LSM
Tue Oct 1 13:53:47 MET DST 1996 Jens Hamisch (jens@Strawberry.COM)

- Bugfix: Skip directories while scanning all modulefiles
for 'apropos'
- traditional lists output
* doc/modulefile.4.in, doc/module.1.in
- new fetures of 3.0 added
* aclocal.m4, configure.in, config.h.in, init.c, main.c
- Patches for TCL 7.6 / TK 4.2 applied.
Probe for TCL version number added.
API for TCLX has changed on TCLX 7.6
Mon Jul 29 18:03:50 MET DST 1996 Swen Thuemmler <swen@uni-paderborn.de>
* cmdModule.c
strdup the module_command, because Tcl_Eval modifies the
argv beginning @ Tcl 7.5
Thu Feb 8 15:05:40 1996 Leif Hedstrom <leif@boot.org>
* ModuleCmd_Avail.c (print_aligned_files): Fix out of bounds
array access.
* error.c (MeasLookup): Initilization of `mid'.
(GetFacility_sub): Dito.
* cmdVersion.c (FindName): Initialization of `cmp', I don't
know if it's correct to set it to `1', but it's definitely
wrong not to initialize it at all! :)
(FindModule): Dito.
Sat Jan 6 13:29:48 MET 1996 Jens Hamisch (jens@Strawberry.COM)
* aclocal.m4 configure.in Makefile.in:
- Add a 'touch' rule in order to fix the modification
dates of the modulefiles in the testsuite
* cmdAlias.c cmdConflict.c cmdMisc.c cmdPath.c cmdSetenv.c
cmdXResource.c cmdModule.c cmdTrace.c cmdUlvl.c cmdVerbose.c
cmdVersion.c cmdWhatis.c cmdLog.c:
- Unification of the DISPLAY output
