New TIP published: #267

I'm pleased to announce that TIP #267 has now been published.

TIP #267: Allow 'exec' to Ignore Stderr
Author: Nathan Bell

Abstract:
Currently the exec command will always fail if the process
writes to standard error. Since various applications use stderr
for debug output it would be useful to retain this output
without having to resort to redirecting stderr to stdout (which
can cause interleaving).

See http://tip.tcl.tk/267.html for details.
