We can recommend 1.6... Just I don't see the value in going out of our way to make pre-1.6 versions behave worse then they always have for existing test cases. If people want to add a new test case that will in effect require 1.6 to behave nicely, that's fine, just don't break 99% of the existing test cases. > FWIW, Fedora 24 uses dejagnu-1.6. Not sure about other distributions. Ubuntu 16.04: $ runtest --version Expect version is 5.45 Tcl version is 8.6 Framework version is 1.5.3
