+
+	IMPLEMENTATION OF TIP#380.
+
+	* doc/define.n, doc/object.n, generic/tclOO.c, generic/tclOOBasic.c:
+	* generic/tclOOCall.c, generic/tclOODefineCmds.c, generic/tclOOInt.h:
+	* tests/oo.test: Switch definitions of lists of things in objects and
+	classes to a slot-based approach, which gives a lot more flexibility
+	and programmability at the script-level. Introduce new [::oo::Slot]
+	class which is the implementation of these things.
+
+	***POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY***
+	The unknown method handler now may be asked to deal with the case
+	where no method name is provided at all. The default implementation
+	generates a compatible error message, and any override that forces the
+	presence of a first argument (i.e., a method name) will continue to
+	function as at present as well, so this is a pretty small change.
+
+	* generic/tclOOBasic.c (TclOO_Object_Destroy): Made it easier to do a
+	tailcall inside a normally-invoked destructor; prevented leakage out
+	to calling command.

-	* generic/tclInt.decls        Revert some cygwin-related signature changes from
-	* generic/tclIntPlatDecls.h   [835f8e1e9d] (2010-01-22). They were an attempt to
-	* win/tclWinError.c           make the cygwin port compile again, but since cygwin
-	                              is based on unix this serves no purpose any more.
-	* win/tclWinSerial.c:         Use EAGAIN in stead of EWOULDBLOCK, because in

-	                              same as EAGAIN
-	* unix/Makefile.in            Add tclWinError.c to the CYGWIN build.
