9Announcing XOTcl 1.6.2
10*************************

12We are pleased to announce the availability of XOTcl 1.6.2
13
14Major changes relative to 1.6.1 are:
15
16   * Functional extensions:
17      - handle nonposargs in method "copy" properly
18
19      - new command ::xotcl::finalize 
20       (for forcing cleanup and destuctor execution at a time in 
21       a multi-threaded environment, where it is still safe to execute
22       all Tcl commands)
23
24   * Extended and generalized "info" method
25
26    - Added "<class> mixinof -closure ?pattern?"
27      Query the objects for which <class> is used as a per-object-mixin 
28      (directly or indirectly)
29
30   * Fixes for potential crashes
31
32    - Implemented proper downgrading of Classes to Objects (handle
33      cases, where something was created first as an object and is
34      reclassed/recreated later as a class) and vice versa
35
36    - Reset mixin order for per-object mixins, when the superclass of
37      a class is deleted, which is used as per-object mixin
38
39
40   * Improved documentation
41
42   * Extended regression tests
43
44   * Some code cleanup
