I think it's time to drop support for Tcl 8.4 in the next release. We've got 2.0.1 out there that works with 8.4, but 8.4 is getting long in the tooth and will soon be EOL'd. I'm already running everything on 8.6, and Karl has been on 8.5 for a while now. As I make changes to the core, I'd like to use newer 8.5 code like dicts and ensembles.
I can see already from the 2.0.1 release notes that we've added a calendar package that requires 8.5 or 8.4 with dicts. It's time to drop 8.4. People who still need it for whatever reason can stay with the last supported version of Rivet (which will be 2.0.1 if we all agree). This is not to say that we will be purposely ripping out a bunch of code and replacing it with 8.5, just that the developers don't have to worry about using the nicer pieces of 8.5 going forward. What say you?
