Announcing XOTcl 0.85.
**********************

WHAT IS XOTCL?

  XOTcl is an object-oriented extension of Tcl that was derived from
  OTcl. In short, XOTcl tries to provide a highly flexible,
  reflective, component-based, and object-oriented environment. It
  integrates language support for high level concepts which are not
  found in other languages, with reasonable performance. It prevails
  the Tcl programming style and the dynamic/introspective nature of
  the language, rather than introducing other language's styles and
  rigidness (such as C++) into Tcl.

RECENT CHANGES IN VERSION 0.85
  The most important changes relative to 0.84 are:
  - improved documentation
  - various small fixes in Httpd to improve extensibility
  - parent namespaces of objects are checked for existence (could lead
    to crash in earlier versions)
  - optional arguments for ismetaclass and isclass
  - created object return absolute names
  - cleanup destroys aggregated children (e.g. recreate provides
    per default a "clean" object)
  - new and more orthogonal directory structure, using version number in
    directory name
