General changes
---------------
* Bugfixes for several tools.
* Extended Teapot Server to allow users to provide their own
header/footer HTML fragments.
* Extended meta data scanner heuristics to recognize new doctools
'image' markup.
TclApp changes
---------------
* Updated compiler package to 1.7.1, fixing a bug in the code
rewriting engine causing misaligned jumps if the input file
contained more than 255 literals.
* Fixed mishandling of startup file infomation in the Files tab when
deleting tree entries
* Fixed mishandled selection context information causing the display
of the wrong icon on the path classification display
* Fixed improper blanking of table cells in the meta data editor
dialogs when editing entries.
* Changed the platform setup in wrapped applications. Dynamic
identification is now done only for starkits. For starpacks we use
the platform of the prefix file (basekit).
TDK Compiler changes
--------------------
* Updated compiler package to 1.7.1, fixing a bug in the code
rewriting engine causing misaligned jumps if the input file
contained more than 255 literals.
TDK Checker changes
-------------------
* Fixed loss of messages by bad checkUserProc/checkProcCall
interaction.
* Extended the handling of 'default' branches in switch/case commands
to detect when they are not the last branch, and warn about
misplaced default handler
* Fixes in the code tracking indentations for style
warnings. switch/case did not take the list into account the
branches could be a part of.
TDK Debugger
------------
* Fixed mishandling of [info script PATH] commands in debugged code.
* Added recognition of the Tcl 8.5+ switch options -nocase,
-matchvar, and -indexvar
* Added proper support for ITcl version 4 used with Tcl 8.6+
