9.0.0 |

Tcl/Tk 9.0 represents the next giant step for core development.
Relatively few new features will be introduced in 9.0; instead,
development will focus on rationalization and refactorization of the C
API's and Tcl commands, and modularization of the core itself.
Backwards binary compatibility will likely be impacted by these
changes, but a Tcl-level compatibility mode will be included, so that
Tcl scripts written for an 8.x series interpreter can run on a 9.x
series interpreter. 9.0 does not currently have a release date.
