The 1.2 "stable" version of Tcl Blend was tested with Tcl 8.0, Tcl 8.1,
and Tcl 8.2. It should also work with Tcl 8.3 but more testing is needed.

The 1.3 "development" version of Tcl Blend will only work with Tcl 8.3
and newer versions of Tcl.

The 1.2 version of Tcl Blend is frozen, no new features will be added.
Only bug fixes will be applied, and they need to fix really critical
bugs to go in. The most recent 1.2 release was 1.2.5, but there will
be an updated 1.2.6 release real soon now.

New Tcl Blend patches will be applied to the 1.3 version in the CVS.
You should not need to worry about any old Tcl 8.0 stuff. In fact,
if you want to strip out all the Tcl 8.0 version checking code and
submit a patch for that I would be happy to add it to the CVS.
I could do it when I get some free time, but if you do it and
post a patch it will get done much more quickly.
