+- New version: 8.6.0.
+- Itcl is now part of the Tcl main package.
+- Disable profile feedback based optimization for now.
+- Highlihhts of the new version:
+  * Object Oriented Programming: The commands of the TclOO package
+    are now part of Tcl itself. This gives Tcl a built-in object
+    system that is fully dynamic, class-based, and includes
+    advanced features such as meta-classes, filters, and mixins.
+  * New version 4 of the popular package Itcl (aka incr Tcl) is
+    also included, now built on a TclOO foundation, granting
+    support for some traditional OO Tcl programming out of the box
+    as well.
+  * Stackless Evaluation: The evaluation of many levels of nested
+    proc calls are no longer implemented as a stack of nested C
+    routine calls. This revision in the internal implementation of
+    Tcl evaluation makes deep recursion in Tcl scripts safe to
+    do. But there's more...
+  * This new implementation enables a collection of new commands,
+    coroutine, tailcall, yield, and yieldto that provide profound
+    new capabilities and models of concurrency to Tcl scripts.
+  * Enhanced Exceptions: New commands try and throw and a wealth
+    of new -errorcode values enable far more precise trapping and
+    handling of exceptions using a familiar construct.
+  * Batteries Included: Tcl delivers in the pkgs subdirectory a
+    bundled collection of third-party packages built and installed
+    along with Tcl.
+  * Thread-enabled Operations: A thread-enabled default build, a
+    bundled Thread package, and new command interp cancel make Tcl
+    8.6 ready for your multi-threaded programming tasks.
+  * SQL Database Powered: The bundled Tcl DataBase Connectivity
+    (tdbc) interface package makes it possible to write your SQL
+    database-powered scripts decoupled from any particular
+    database engine. The bundled sqlite3 and tdbc::sqlite3
+    packages supply a powerful and popular SQL database engine
+    ready to use.
+  * IPv6 Networking: Both client and server sockets support IPv6
+    where platform support exists.
+  * Built-in Zlib Compression: New command zlib provides utilities
+    to handle compression of data and streams.
+  * List Processing: New commands lmap and dict map enable the
+    elegant expression of transformations over Tcl containers.
+  * Stacked Channels by Script: New commands chan push and chan
+    pop expose the power of stacked channels without the need to
+    write C code.
+  * Additional New Features: Temporary file creation, enhancements
+    to list sorting and setting, dict filtering, half-close of
+    bidirectional channels, encoding and decoding of binary
+    sequences, finer control over load, and many many more.
