[Xotcl] XOTcl and Tcl 8.6

[Gustaf Neumann]

Dear Koen,

we are busy working on xotcl 2.0, which works for tcl 8.5 and tcl 8.6
(we will most probably not be able to make 2.0 work with tcl 8.4;
the 8.4 support is still in the 2.0 code base, but getting it to work
with 8.4 would require a lot of work, so we will skip it).

i am currently in the midst of reworking slots, which is the
last biggy before the release (which i hoped to get finished
by end of 2009)). There will be some more polishing on
the interfaces and the code, documentation is at an early
state, so end of q1 seems in reach for the release.

xotcl 2.0 is quite different from xotcl 1.*, but there
is an xotcl 1.* layer available, which is highly backwards
compatible (i have tested it e.g. against xotcl-core and xowiki
inside openacs, about 46000 lines of code). in case, you have
not seen the slides an the xotcl 2.0 paper, drop me a note.

if you have interest on getting access to the development version
of xotcl 2.0, i can give you access to the git repository.
