-A NOTE ON THE CHANGELOG:
-Starting in early 2011, Tcl source code has been under the management of
-fossil, hosted at http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/ .  Fossil presents a "Timeline"
-view of changes made that is superior in every way to a hand edited log file.
-Because of this, many Tcl developers are now out of the habit of maintaining
-this log file.  You may still find useful things in it, but the Timeline is
-a better first place to look now.
