The stacked channel +implementation in Tcl was originally introduced in 8.2.0 (previously the +Trf patch) and rewritten for 8.3.2+ due to inherent limitations in the +earlier implementation. TLS should compile with any stubs-capable Tcl +interpreter, but will require 8.2+ when loaded. There are known +limitations in the 8.2.0-8.3.1 stacked channel implementation, so it is +encouraged that people use TLS with an 8.3.2+ Tcl interpreter.
