Dear Victor,

thanks for the note. We are in the midst of a quite deep transformation required for a better modularization of the dispatcher and certain object properties. These transformation/reimplementation tasks (in part triggered by your last email) will take a few more weeks, before we can release the next beta release. My primary platform is the latest Tcl release (8.5), i have to say that i am quite happy that the current head version runs fine the full test suite under this release after this quite substantial change.

I try to follow the following rules: - every beta release is tagged in git, and is supposed to run with tcl 8.5 and 8.6 - between beta releases, every version in head is supposed to run the full regression test in the most recent (non-beta) release of tcl, which is currently 8.5.11.

My goal is to address first the ongoing transformation before packaging the next beta.

All the best -gustaf neumann

Hello Gustaf,

Tried compiling NX today and it is failing. I am on Linux 64bit this time, 3.2.0-8-generic kernel, compiling against latest TCL 8.6 Fossil source. Make fails with the following error:
