[Tcllib-devel] Tcllib 1.17 RC0 heads-up

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

Anybody following the Tcllib timeline should have seen that the 1.17
release is currently in the works.

The head of branch "tcllib-1-17-rc", i.e

    https://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/info/7dbcd4888608c334

is in a state where it passes the entire testsuite for me, against
Tcl/Tk 8.[456] (*), plus some supporting packages (**).

Anybody can get zip archive an tarball from the above link, assuming
that they are logged in as at least anon, if not their account, should
they have one.

The README for the release is directly available via
    https://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/doc/tcllib-1-17-rc/support/releases/history/README-1.17.txt

If you believe that a fix for a specific bug should be in the release
please send me mail with a link to the relevant ticket, or branch.
Note that tickets with quality patches (***) have preference over
tickets with patches and that tickets without patches are ignored at
this point in time.

I have only tested on a Linux/64bit platform.
Anybody with cycles, please test on your platforms as well.

If all goes well I hope to make the release official Thursday next
week, i.e. April 30.

        tdom - used by gpx
        critcl - used in pt directly.
        TclOO - 8.5
        tcllibc - Not from teapot. Created locally via critcl, the
various C accelerators.

(***) A quality patch not only fixes the issue, but also extends the
testsuite and updates the documentation.
