This document keeps a record of the CVS tags used in the Tcl and Tk repositories and their meanings.
CVS uses tags to collectively label a particular set of revisions of a particular set of files. With a tag, one may easily request all the revisions of all the files that correspond to something meaningful, such as an official release of a project.
There are two kinds of tags provided by CVS. First is the release tag that simply marks a set of revisions as belonging together as a unit. Each release of a project should be tagged with a release tag. Other development milestones may also receive a release tag. Release tags are useful for marking any point in development that will be useful to return to or compare against.
The second kind of tag is a branch tag. It does not mark a single revision of a file, but an entire branch of development of a file. Branch tags are the means by which different working directories can track different branches of development.
A tag may be used in a CVS repository only once, so we must keep track of what tags have already been used, and what they mean. The remaining sections of this TIP record the tags in use. This TIP should be kept up to date by adding any new tags here as they are added to the CVS repository.
The following tags in the Tcl and Tk CVS repositories correspond to the following releases of Tcl/Tk:
core-8-3-3 - Tcl/Tk 8.3.3
core-8-4-a2 - Tcl/Tk 8.4a2
core-8-4-a1 - Tcl/Tk 8.4a1
core-8-3-2 - Tcl/Tk 8.3.2
core-8-3-1 - Tcl/Tk 8.3.1
core-8-3-0 - Tcl/Tk 8.3.0
core-8-3-b2 - Tcl/Tk 8.3b2
core-8-3-b1 - Tcl/Tk 8.3b1
core-8-2-3 - Tcl/Tk 8.2.3
core-8-2-2 - Tcl/Tk 8.2.2
core-8-2-1 - Tcl/Tk 8.2.1
core-8-2-0 - Tcl/Tk 8.2.0
core-8-2-b3 - Tcl/Tk 8.2b3
core-8-2-b2 - Tcl/Tk 8.2b2
core-8-2-b1 - Tcl/Tk 8.2b1
core-8-1-1 - Tcl/Tk 8.1.1
core-8-1-0 - Tcl/Tk 8.1.0
core-8-1-b3 - Tcl/Tk 8.1b3
core-8-1-b2 - Tcl/Tk 8.1b2
core-8-1-b1 - Tcl/Tk 8.1b1
core-8-0-5 - Tcl/Tk 8.0.5
core-8-0-4 - Tcl/Tk 8.0.4
core-8-0-3 - Tcl/Tk 8.0.3
core-8-0-2 - Tcl/Tk 8.0p2
The following branch tags label branches of development from which releases of Tcl/Tk are generated:
HEAD - current development of new features; spawns 8.4aX releases.
core-8-3-1-branch - bug fix branch; spawns 8.3.X releases.
The following branch tags label branches on which features are being devloped and tested. No releases of Tcl/Tk will be spawned from these branches. As the features mature, they will be merged onto the HEAD branch, or they may be rejected.
dgp-privates-into-namespace (Tk) - Work on moving Tk's private commands and variables into the ::tk namespace and its children.
core-8-4-win-speedup (Tk) - Work on improving performance of Tk on the Windows platforms.
msofer-bcEngine (Tcl) - Work on improving performance of the bytecode engine.
The following branch tags label branches that are no longer being developed. Some are old official branches from which releases are no longer being spawned. Others are feature development branches that have been merged into an official branch, or rejected.
core-8-3-1-io-rewrite (Tcl) - Work rewriting Tcl's IO Channels to correct problems with the implementation of stacked channels. Merged into Tcl 8.3.2 and Tcl 8.4a2.
core-8-2-1-branch - Spawned Tcl/Tk 8.2.X releases.
core-8-1-branch-old - Spawned Tcl/Tk 8.1bX releases.
dev-stubs-branch, dev-8-1-stubs-branch - Two branches on which the stubs interfaces were developed. Merged into Tcl 8.1.
