CHANGES SINCE VERSION 0.81

This release contains bug fixes plus a number of additional features. A summary is below. See git for the full changelog.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release.

Bugs fixed in version 0.82

    dict - under some circumstances it was possible to add duplicate keys to a dict
    file delete - -force and -- were handled incorrectly
    aio: ssl - fix eof detection with openssl3
    getref and setref - now accept fully qualified references
    unset - don’t return a result with -nocomplain
    Garbage collection - sometimes GC was overly zealous
    regexp - builtin regexp fix for end of word check
    dict with - now correctly returns the script result
    Unicode ranges are closed intervals. This affected the character class of the end character of each range.

Features and improvements added in version 0.82

    aio gets - improve behaviour for non-blocking streams
    aio TIP 603 - implement stat of an open file handle
    aio socket pty - filename is now available
    Included sqlite updated to version 3.38.0
    redis extension - enable TCP_KEEPALIVE, add support for -type and -async
    try - add support for trap
    oo constructor is now more flexible (possible incompatibility with 0.81)
    socket - add support for -async
    Updated linenoise now has support for word forward, word backward
    Updated Unicode to 14.0.0
    file normalize - now supported on Windows
    aio copyto - performance improvement for large copies
    Memory allocator is now replaceable
    info frame is now more Tcl compatible (incompatibility with 0.81)
    New timerate command for improved benchmarking - largely compatible with TIP 527
    vwait - add support for -signal for improved handling of signals in the event loop
    clock millis and clock micros - now use monotonic time if possible (not affected by system time changes)
    ensemble and namespace ensemble simplify creation of ensemble commands

Possible incompatibilities in version 0.82

    New approach to oo constructor means some existing code may need to be altered
    info frame now returns a dict rather than a list and can access non-proc frames. stacktrace will continue to work and should be preferred when retrieving a live stack trace
    New ABI version means that compiled extensions will need to be rebuilt to work with this version
    configure now defaults to --full
