With the O'Reilly Tcl/Tk Conference over the last few days and the
release of Tcl 8.2.0 things have been relatively quite, mostly bug reports.
The initial impressions are the this release of Tcl is quite stable, and I
would encourage those of you that have been holding off on upgrading
from Tcl 8.0 to check out 8.2.
