Dear Koen,
we are busy working on xotcl 2.0, which works for tcl 8.5 and tcl 8.6 (we will most probably not be able to make 2.0 work with tcl 8.4; the 8.4 support is still in the 2.0 code base, but getting it to work with 8.4 would require a lot of work, so we will skip it).
i am currently in the midst of reworking slots, which is the last biggy before the release (which i hoped to get finished by end of 2009)). There will be some more polishing on the interfaces and the code, documentation is at an early state, so end of q1 seems in reach for the release.
xotcl 2.0 is quite different from xotcl 1.*, but there is an xotcl 1.* layer available, which is highly backwards compatible (i have tested it e.g. against xotcl-core and xowiki inside openacs, about 46000 lines of code). in case, you have not seen the slides an the xotcl 2.0 paper, drop me a note.
if you have interest on getting access to the development version of xotcl 2.0, i can give you access to the git repository.

Dear XOTcl developers,
I'm trying to use XOTcl (1.6.5) with Tcl8.6.
Apparently XOTcl does not compile with Tcl8.6, but on Linux, I can get it to work by using a version compiled for Tcl8.5.4.
However, this is not the case on Windows: loading XOTcl will make Tcl8.6 crash there.
I also tried to use the xotcl165.dll provided by Activestate in the Tcl8.6b1 distribution. This seems to work with Tcl8.6b1 indeed, but not with newer versions of Tcl fetched from CVS (which I need).
Is it possible today to use XOTcl in a recent Tcl8.6 ? Or are there any plans to update XOTcl ?
