JTcl

Release Notes: Three new commands have been added: lassign, lrepeat, and lreverse. A new library module was added for manipulating ZIP files. A new command utility builds stand-alone application JAR files. Two bugs that previously caused exceptions while reading from a socket and globbing files were fixed.

Release Notes: A problem in 'info command' where too many leading namespace separators were returned was fixed. An issue where an exception was thrown when opening a non-existent file in mode "a" or "a+" was fixed. A problem where file event processing on an open socket would cause excessive CPU usage was fixed. The 'hyde' module was included, which allow Java code to be compiled on-the-fly.

Release Notes: 'info nameofexecutable' now creates and returns a temporary shell/bat script that invokes JTcl. 'lset' performance issues have been fixed. 'socket -server command' now executes command as a script. All user background threads are now Java daemon threads, and will be stopped on main thread exit.

Release Notes: The 'dict' and 'apply' commands have been backported from Tcl 8.5. Tcllib is now included in the distribution. java::import now imports classes from wildcard package names ("*"). Minor bugs have been fixed.

Release Notes: This version passes a large extent of the Tcl 8.4 test suite. Major features implemented in this release include support for Tcl Advanced Regular Expressions. Asynchronous event driven I/O interacts with a new channel system. Read/write command pipelines with the exec and open commands now work. The math expression engine uses 64-bit integers. The trace command now supports command tracing.
