Announcing XOTcl 1.0 ********************

WHAT IS XOTCL?

XOTcl is an object-oriented extension of Tcl that was derived from OTcl. In short, XOTcl tries to provide a highly flexible, reflective, component-based, and object-oriented environment. It integrates language support for high level concepts which are not found in other languages, with reasonable performance. It prevails the Tcl programming style and the dynamic/introspective nature of the language, rather than introducing other language's styles and rigidness (such as C++) into Tcl.

CHANGES relative to 0.9.4 are:

- fixes:

* various small fixes for compilation with tcl8.4.*

* fixed some more memory-leaks that showed up in connection with multi-threading (many thanks to Zoran Vasiljevic for his great help)

* removed a few panics() by tcl errors (important for servers)

* various small fixes in Httpd-code

* fixes in filter-search mechanism

* the general cleanup method __exitHandler (called on interpreter exits and on thread exits) defined now as a proc of Object

- optimizations:

* speedup during recreation of objects
