- updated and shorted README.aol and TODO - removed the following files from the repository. deleted: COMPILE deleted: COMPILE.win deleted: ChangeLog deleted: unix/xotcl.spec.in deleted: win/Makefile.vc These files should be probably added again at some later time, but need some rework. Old versions are still available from the 2.0.0-develop branch
- namespace changes: mostly due to marketing reasons, the naming of the top-level namespace changed from "xotcl2" to "next". reasons: xotcl is hard to pronounce for beginners, sounds like "exotic" (but who wants to program in an exotic language) has a certain stigma of strange namings (e.g. "instproc"), is seen as a precursor of tcloo, the top-level namespace ::xotcl2:: is not very nice either, the separation of framework and language is not clear. We have now: ::next (the new object system, former ::xotcl2) ::next::core (framework, primitives) ::xotcl (former xotcl1)
- "::xotcl::use" no longer needed, use Tcl standard mechanisms instead (e.g. "package req next"; "package req XOTcl", "namespace import ::next*")
