Version 7 of Novem

Updated 2014-02-03 22:58:42 by dkf

Novem is the core team and maintainer 's code name for the series of branches where we can break binary compatibility while working on things like

  1. Cleaning up the public Tcl C API
  2. Reworking internal and public structures for hopefully enhanced performance.
  3. Compiling Tcl scripts to native code.
  4. Other experimental features.

The end goal is to evolve these into Tcl 9.

The table below is for tracking the list of ideas. Portions of it, maybe even all, should also be added to our Project Ideas for Google Summer of Code.

For ease of exchange please follow the same format for ideas and idea pages as for the GSoC page.
