A very very minor nit I hesitate in reporting but ...

No, you're mistaken: "?prefix?" is correct here, since "info loaded"
doesn't know anything about the package name.

Oops, sorry, I was going by this –
% info patch
9.0b3
% info loaded x y z
wrong # args: should be "info loaded ?interp? ?packageName?"
having picked up the Beta 3 tclsh from my path instead of the current rc2 version.
Apologies for the noise

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 > Am 24.09.2024 um 20:13 schrieb Donald G Porter via Tcl-Core <tcl...@li...>: > > > Please take a look at the draft release notes for Tcl 9.0.0.

The issue is what binaries can link and [load] successfully together, and not what routines can be called in source code. -- | Don Porter Applied and Computational Mathematics Division | | don...@ni...

Forgot to finish that thought. I did not revise the changes.md file in the distribution. Folks are welcome to patch that in post-release. -- | Don Porter Applied and Computational Mathematics Division | | don...@ni...

Oh boy, I wrote the notes for Tk from the wrong email address ... and it hangs in the pipe for moderator approval ... Well, here you have them, but you might have caught these already anyway. Otherwise these changes are really minor and you can just ignore them.
