Subject: [TCLCORE] Countdown to Tcl/Tk 8.5.0 releases...

Available on the Tcl ftp site are the latest RCs for Tcl/Tk 8.5.0:

   ftp://ftp.tcl.tk/pub/tcl/tcl8_5/tcl8.5.0rc1-src.tar.gz
   ftp://ftp.tcl.tk/pub/tcl/tcl8_5/tk8.5.0rc1-src.tar.gz
   ftp://ftp.tcl.tk/pub/tcl/tcl8_5/tcl8.5.0rc1-html.tar.gz

The target date for final release is Friday, Dec. 14.  I would like to
make an RC on Wednesday, Dec. 12 with the intent that it becomes 8.5.0
on Friday via a simple rename after a round of smoke testing.  Please
plan your development with that in mind.

There may or may not be another RC between the current one and the one
on Dec. 12, depending on the amount and significance of HEAD churn.

It would help me a bit for those folks still planning significant
commits to give me an idea about what they might be and when they
might appear on the HEAD.

Finally, a last round of GOOBE that should be prepared is something
not in the release itself, but associated resources, notably pages
like:

     http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/
     http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/choose.html
     http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/8.5.html

which should be significantly updated to change our recommendation
to use 8.5 over 8.4 as the stable release, and which might profit
from an expanded introduction to / cheering for new 8.5 features, either
directly or by reference.  Does anyone already have text, etc. in
the works for that?
