WHAT'S NEW
==========

Some extras features since previous announcement:
   - Tcl/Tk 8.5.3, supported on all architectures including WinCE.
   - New commands have been added to wce package (Windows Mobile 
extension) to
     query batteries status, or manage screen orientation.
   - Full version delivered with ready to use kits for tcllib, tklib and
     bwidgets
   - Anti-aliased lines in Pixane
   - Resources for MacOSX are now embedded into executable, so wrapped
     applications don't need to be put into a bundle (thanks for D. Steffen
     for its EuroTcl presentation showing how to do this).
   - applets to wrap sources into a standalone executable has been added

eTcl 1.0-rc29 also comes with up to date versions of several packages
(e.g. sqlite 3.5.9, tkhtml3 CVS snapshots, ...).  As usual, it also
includes fixed for several bugs. See changelog at:

WHAT IS IT
==========

eTcl is a "batteries-included", thread enabled Tcl/Tk runtime, available
as a single standalone executable for Linux (x86, x86_64, ARM, Mips and
PowerPC),  Win32 (Win98 to Vista), Windows Mobile (2003 or better) and 
MacOSX
(universal binary). On all architectures, executable has no external
dependencies, and requires no installation except copying executable 
wherever
you want.
