[Tcllib-devel] Tcllib 1.14 Release

[Andreas K. <and...@ac...>]

Well, not yet.

The plan for the moment is to make a release by Dec 12 (Monday).
That is now 5 weeks away.

To all tcllib developers, please have a look at your bug reports, close 
outdated stuff, see what can be fixed in time for the release.

Anybody, please take the current state of the CVS and run the tcllib testsuite, 
either in full, or for you packages, on the platforms you have access too, 
against Tcl 8.4, 8.5, and the head of 8.6 beta. If possible, please try to 
determine whether any failure seen is a fault of the testsuite, or of the 
package itself. Or neither (*).

Note: While we have a number of packages claiming to work for Tcl 8.2 or 8.3 I 
will not be testing against these versions of the core. With even 8.4 getting 
EOLd I will simply not bother with versions of the core that old.

If someone does choose to test against 8.3 or older, and problems occur which 
are 8.4-isms my recommendation is to bump the version number of the affected 
package, make the new version require Tcl 8.4, and thus be done with it.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(*) We had several instances in the past where the Tcllib testsuite triggered 
bugs in the Tcl core itself.
