For all those interested, there is a new Thread 2.6 package release
in the "Files" area of the Tcl project at SourceForge.
What's changed since the 2.5 release:
o. new "Ttrace" Tcl-only package for simple interp state replication
between threads and interpreters (see [ttrace::eval] command)
o. added TclX keylist datatype implementation for the "tsv" framework
(see tsv::keylget, tsv::kelyset, tsv::keylkeys and tsv::keyldel)
o. new [tsv::lset] command equivalent to standard Tcl [lset] command.
o. new [thread::broadcast] command
o. added persistent storage option for "tsv" framework with the GDBM
persistent store example implementation (see [tsv::array bind])
o. uses TEA3 compatible build environment
o. documentation rewritten in doctools format and provided in
both nroff and html formats
o. new read-write mutex type (see [thread::rwmutex] command)
o. new recursive mutex type (see [thread::mutex create] command)
o. mutex operations now throw Tcl error on incorrect mutex usage
instead of blocking (or otherwise crippling) the application
o. thread ID handles changed from simple integer value to the
Tcl'like handle style
NOTE: this is not considered a compatibility issue since
handles should have been treated like opaque values anyways.
o. various bug fixes accumulated since the last release
o. dropped support for Tcl 8.3 core; require Tcl 8.4 or later.
o. dropped support for AOLserver 3.x series.
I have tested this release extensively on Unices and fairly on
Windows. If something is broken, plain wrong or does not work
as you're expecting it to, please fill-in bug-reports on SF.
Merry christmas and a happy new year.
