Message:

I suggest a "Release Candidate" we can try out
in tcl/pkgs/ before making the formal 2.6.7 release.

Message:
Ah... this memory leak is not there. I was fooled by the per-default
tclshell as 
distributed in Mac OSX. It is non-threaded or something else is wrong
there so
it leaks grossly. A fresh 8.4 in thread-build and 2.6.7 threadinf
extension is absoluely clean w.r.t. memory leaking.

Message:
I added 2.6.7 to ttrace.tcl and to configure.in and autoconf'ed.
I also fixed two minor bugs.
BUT....
Thera is a HUGE memory leak w.r.t thread creation/teardown.
It is absolutely unclear to me why! Our private fork that I maintain
for our needs works fine. So I need to see what caused this leak
first before actually doing any release :-(

Hi Zoran. Just ran into a bug when building Tcl 8.6+pkgs/ (CVS Head).
The Ttrace package in the semi-released 2.6.6 used in the Tcl8.6 pkgs/
directory
reports itself as 2.6.5, i.e. is in conflict with the data in
pkgIndex.tcl.

This seems to have been fixed in the CVS of Thread, but not in a real
release.

Adding my voice here in support of a 2.6.7 release which has all the
version numbers fixed and straight.

Without I have to add local patches to my checkout to get something
working after the build.

Message:

I noticed that "Thread 2.6.6" that got tagged
several month ago never got actual release
archive stuck over in the Files area.  I've just
done that.
