There will be a scotty 2.0.0 version shortly after Tk4.0 is out. I
hope that I can get another scotty 1.99.6 snapshot out soon based on
Tk4.0b4/Tcl7.4b4. (I just need some time to fix the man page etc.)
This version should be very close to the 2.0.0 version.

Tkined is a different story. I did some first steps to implement event
stuff but I decided that Tkined needs a cleanup before I will add new
stuff. I will make a Tk4.0 version available (which will not include
any important new feature) so that people can start to use Tk4.0. This
will be compatible with the current Tkined version.

I will then start to work on a version which will contain new stuff
and some incompatible changes (like a new file format etc.). But I
have no idea how fast I will proceed. If there are volunteers to work
on some specific parts, just drop me a note.
