It's too bad that we can't make TclBlend stubs enabled, that would fix this. The problem with stubs is that the TclBlend DLL can also be used as a shell, and shells cannot use stubs (unless they located and load the Tcl DLL). Since Jiang Wu seems to have fixed this feature (using TclBlend as a shell from Java), then we shouldn't break it with stubs. Unless, of course, someone writes the code to located and load the Tcl DLL. Maybe in 1.3 we can fix this by splitting up the DLL into separate pieces? Maybe we should add a --disable-tclstubs option to the TEA configure script so that Jiang can turn off stubs (and we add them in for 1.2.6). The switch to stubs should be pretty easy, I had it working fine in an early 1.2.5 until I removed it. As far as 8.2 vs. 8.3 is concerned, I'm not too concerned either way. We are using 8.3 internally for Scriptics Connect 2.0 and probably won't need support for 8.2 anymore. However, we build TclBlend every night, so we're not going to be using the prebuilt binaries. The real question is what version of Tcl everyone else is using. Jeff would probably suggest switching to 8.3 for the pre-built binaries and let anyone using 8.2 either rebuild TclBlend or download 1.2.5. -- Scott > -----Original Message----- > From: Mo DeJong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2000 12:06 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Tcl Java] Should Tcl Blend 1.2.6 use Tcl 8.2 or Tcl 8.3? > > > Hi all. > > I am looking over my todo list for the next "stable" release of Tcl > Blend (1.2.6) and I am wondering if we should move up to Tcl 8.3 > for the pre-compiled Windows binaries. > > I am NOT saying that the source code for the 1.2 version would be changed > to only support 8.3, just the pre-compiled Tcl Blend binaries.
