1Announcing XOTcl 1.0.1
2**********************

4WHAT IS XOTCL?
5
6  XOTcl is an object-oriented extension of Tcl that was derived from
7  OTcl. In short, XOTcl tries to provide a highly flexible,
8  reflective, component-based, and object-oriented environment. It
9  integrates language support for high level concepts which are not
10  found in other languages, with reasonable performance. It prevails
11  the Tcl programming style and the dynamic/introspective nature of
12  the language, rather than introducing other language's styles and
13  rigidness (such as C++) into Tcl.

22
23     * fixes for aolserver 3.5.*
24
25     * fix for "object info default arg var" in connection

27
28     * Serializer handles filter guards now
29
30  - new functionality and improvements:
31
32     * improved recreate semantics, makes it easier to 
33       overload recreation logic.
34
35     * new method "noinit" to create objects without
36       calling the constructor
37
38  - optimizations:
39
40     * general speedup (10 to 15%) by using client data of
41       namespace instead of Tcl_AssocData for interpreter state
42      
43     * faster and more flexible Serializer
