- 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*")
- moved xotcl-1.* definition into an own library file - renamed library/lib/changeXOTclVersion.xotcl to library/lib/changeXOTclVersion to ease pkgIndex generation - new function "xotcl::use xotcl1" or "xotcl::use xotcl2" to ease switching between xotcl 1 and 2 - changed library/lib/test to xotcl2 - added for all regression test "xotcl::use xotcl1" instead of "namespace import ::xotcl::*"
