[Tclxml-users] Release Plans

[Steve B. <Ste...@ex...>]

Hi All,

Just thought I'd send out a message to outline my plans for TclXML.  
The current public release is v3.2, but ActiveState are still shipping  
v2.6. I asked Andreas why this is the case and he has given me a  
comprehensive list of changes necessary to get TclXML v3.X up-to-snuff  
for ActiveTcl. The package also needs a major overhaul to allow it to  
compile under MinGW.

My original thought was to do all of this as part of the v3.3 release.  
This will take quite some time as there is a lot of work to do (each  
of the ActiveTcl and MinGW changes constitute a major overhaul of the  
package). However, there is probably value in making a v3.3 release to  
address all of the (relatively) minor issues currently reported  
against the package, and then commence work on v3.4 which would be the  
major overhaul (perhaps that should be called v4.0?).

At the moment I'm working on a package to implement the XProc soon-to- 
be-standard, so don't hold your breath waiting for TclXML changes ;-)  
I will try to get to the TclXML stuff as time permits.

Please feel free to email with your thoughts, requests, etc.

Cheers,
Steve Ball
