Deprecations in Tcllib 1.20
===========================

Four packages are stage 1 deprecated in favor of two replacements.
All internal users of the deprecated packages have been rewritten to
use their replacements.

    Module             Package           Replacement      Deprecation stage
    ------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --------------------------------
    doctools           doctools::paths   fileutil::paths  (D1) Redirected to replacements
    doctools           doctools::config  struct::map      (D1) Redirected to replacements
    pt                 paths             fileutil::paths  (D1) Redirected to replacements
    pt                 configuration     struct::map      (D1) Redirected to replacements
    ------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --------------------------------

Stage 1 (D1) means that:

  - The deprecated packages still exist.
  - Their implementations have changed and become wrappers around their replacements.

Future progress:

  - In the release after 1.20 the stage 1 deprecated packages will be
    moved to stage 2 (D2). In that stage the implementations of the
    deprecated packages will stop redirecting to their replacements,
    and throw errors instead. IOW starting with stage 2 use of the
    deprecated packages will be more strictly blocked.

  - In the release after that all stage 2 deprecated package will be
    moved to stage 3 (D3). In that stage the packages will be removed
    from Tcllib, causing `package require` to fail.

Changes from Tcllib 1.19 to 1.20
