Re: [TCLCORE] Tcl 9.0.0 Draft Release Notes

[Torsten B. <be...@ty...>]

Hi,

here's what I found in the Tcl notes:

The links in the section "Tcl 9 Release Summary" will not be detected as being links by many renderers. Also, there is no blank line in between so they might appear as coming from the same paragraph. I suggest a list instead with proper titles:

* [Migrating C extensions to Tcl 9](https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/wiki?name=Migrating+C+extensions+to+Tcl+9)
* [Migrating scripts to Tcl 9](https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/wiki?name=Migrating+scripts+to+Tcl+9)

and:

* [Apps confirmed to work with Tcl 9](https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Apps+confirmed+to+work+with+Tcl+9)
* [Porting extensions to Tcl 9](https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Porting+extensions+to+Tcl+9)


Then, in the sections starting from "Major Features ..." I found some minor inconsistencies:

- make sure all entries either hve a full stop at the end or non at all, right now there is a mixture (I would prefer to omit it)
- Data values larger than 2Gb  >>>  should be "2 GB"
- Zip filesystems and attached archives.  >>>  has a full stop at the end that should be removed
- ABI compatibility was a non-goal ... >>>  should be API compatibility (?)
- Make a proper sublist of the removed API functions:

 - Removed API functions:
    - `Tcl_Backslash()`
    - `Tcl_*VA()`
    - `Tcl_*MathFunc*()`
    - `Tcl_MakeSafe()`
    - `Tcl_(Save|Restore|Discard|Free)Result()`
    - `Tcl_EvalTokens()`
    - `Tcl_(Get|Set)DefaultEncodingDir()`
    - `Tcl_UniCharN(case)cmp()`
    - `Tcl_UniCharCaseMatch()`


Regards, Torsten
