Dear XOTcl Community, XOTcl 1.6.1 is available. This release provides in short: - improved orthogonality for introspection, - improvements in the serializer - some minor fixes See below for more details. Best regards -gustaf neumann Announcing XOTcl 1.6.1 ************************* We are pleased to announce the availability of XOTcl 1.6.1 Major changes relative to 1.6.0 are: * Extended and generalized "info" method * Generalized serializing package: when deserializing code, now consistently no constructors are called. In previous versions, constructors were called on slots; due to the point above, this is not needed; background: the previous solution had problems in aolserver ns_eval, when a slot-constructor called db-functions, since during ns_eval, the database handles are non-functional) * Fixes for potential crashes when methods were called with invalid arguments * Improved documentation * Extended regression tests For more details about the changes, please consult the ChangeLog and documentation.
