-0. Preface
-----------
-This is the last pre-release of 8.0.3, tcl_patchLevel "8.0.3-5"
-This is very close, but not final.  We plan code freeze on
-Thursday, and so I'll be doing the 8.0.3 release then.  But, please
-try your compiles against this version to flush out any problems.
-
-This release is being made early to help
-with the Consortium CD project.  Please do not advertise or
-circulate this release widely.  If you have problems, please figure
-out a fix and include a patch or a lot of detail, then send 
-email to <bugs@scriptics.com>
-Brent Welch

-Summary of changes:
-1. Scriptics changes to support TclPro Wrapper, which is similar in
-spirit to the stand-alone applications built by the plus-patch, but
-goes farther by putting more hooks into the file system access routines.
-2. Scriptics changes to support TclPro Compiler, which lets you
-save and reload compiled byte-codes.
-3. Miscellaneous bug fixes to windows socket code.
-4. Various bug fixes derived from Victor Dukhovni's "jumbo" patch described
-on http://www.scriptics.com/resource/download/patches/tcl80p2/
-5. Patches to support [incr Tcl].
-6. More enhancements, including a new implementation of pkg_mkIndex.
-7. A new implementation of auto_mkindex to support [incr Tcl] classes.
-8. New IMPORT/EXPORT macros to facilitate building DLL's on windows.
-
-Bug fixes relative to previous pre-releases
