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
