we have done a substantial redesign of object and class creation/recreation/deletion. Many things that were hard-wired before are now modifiable from within XOTcl. We have now a solution that looks promising to both, the "[self] destroy" problems and the issue of recreating classes and objects. We have still the hope to get the next release this week done. i can't name dates for now, but 0.84 will be out soon.
