From WHATSNEW.TXT:
WHAT IS THIS RELEASE?
This new release is a maintenance release which consolidates the last changes made to Metakit, and especially Mk4tcl (the Tcl interface). Fixed a bug related to memory mapped files under Win 95/98 (not NT). Commit now returns false if disk errors prevent a succesful commit. Most changes are in Mk4tcl and the new Tclkit runtime (see below).
