[Tile-dev] Release plans

[Joe E. <jen...@fl...>]

The treeview -selectmode option was the last thing I
wanted to get in for the next release; so once that's done
(just a bit more work left on it), it'll be feature-freeze
time, and 0.7.8 should be ready by the next ActiveTcl release.

After that, the 0.8.X series will go into "break stuff" mode.
This won't affect application code (with two exceptions),
but it will involve reorganizing and rationalizing all the
elements, so third-party themes will need (hopefully minor)
modifications.

The exceptions: by popular demand, [ttk::paned] will be
renamed [ttk::panedwindow]; and as long as we're doing
that [ttk::progressbar] will become [ttk::progress] too.

To smooth the transition, 0.7.8 will alias [ttk::panedwindow]
to [ttk::paned]; in 0.8.0 the widget will be renamed
and [ttk::paned] will be a deprecated alias.

Is there anything else anyone thinks should be done for 0.7.8?
