This is the production release of Pgtcl 1.4, also known as libpgtcl, a
package that adds PostgreSQL extensions to the Tcl programming
language. Pgtcl 1.4 is a near complete rewrite to use Tcl-8 objects,
resulting in potentially huge performance increases. It supports
asynchronous execution, extended error reporting, TEA-compliant build
and install, execution of prepared statements, and many other of the
latest features of Postgres, while maintaining backwards compatibility
to previous versions of PostgreSQL and earlier Pgtcl code. Pgtcl 1.4
has been built and tested on Red Hat Linux, FreeBSD and Microsoft
Windows.

Excerpt from README:
o All commands have now been converted to use Tcl 8-style Tcl objects.
o Also Tcl 7 is no longer supported. (Surely you're not still
using it, anyway, right?)
o A new asynchronous interface has been added
o pg_* call arguments are now checked much more rigorously.
o Error reporting has been brought into more compliance with the
Tcl way of doing things.
o TEA-compliant build and install.
o pg_exec now supports $-variable substitution. This is a new
feature of Postgres 7.4 that is now supported in Pgtcl.
You can now say
o pg_exec_prepared allows execution of prepared SQL statements.
o pg_sendquery_prepared allows asynchronous execution of prepared
SQL statements.
