 1. Introduction
 ---------------
 
 This directory and its descendants contain the sources and documentation
 for Tcl, an embeddable scripting language.  The information here
-corresponds to release 8.0. Tcl 8.0 is a major new release that replaces
-the core of the interpreter with an on-the-fly bytecode compiler to
-improve execution speed.  It also includes several other new features
-such as namespaces and binary I/O, plus many bug fixes.  The compiler
-introduces a few incompatibilities that may affect existing Tcl scripts;
-the incompatibilities are relatively obscure but may require
-modifications to some old scripts before they can run with this version.
-The compiler introduces many new C-level APIs, but the old APIs are
-still supported. See below for more details.
