I recently released Version 0.8 of TclRAL and thought that now was an appropriate time to make this page a bit more active for anyone that may be interested in the extension and wish to ask questions or post examples.

Version 0.8 is a complete rewrite of the extension to improve the code base and lay in a more maintainable structure. The major new feature of 0.8 is referential integrity checking. My current vision for the future is (roughly):

  • Additional code rework and testing.
  • Adding a few new features.
  • Honing the command interfaces leading up to a 0.9 release.
  • At Version 0.9, freezing the command interface for longer term backward compatibility support.
  • Leading to a Version 1.0 release.

I won't be so bold as to state a time frame for all of this, but as I use the extension myself I am as anxious to see it improve as anyone.


Note that the linked sourceforge page says that the current version is 0.7 and 0.8 in two different places.
