This is an alpha level cut. If you decide to help test, then please test carefully. We don't want anyone to lose data.

GNUser:
Hi Juanito. I'm on x86_64. Upgrade from 15 -> 16.0alpha1 went smoothly.

I've only found two small issues so far:

1. libsndfile.tcz is missing from the repo. This causes extensions that have libsndfile.tcz somewhere in their dependency tree (e.g., ffmpeg4.tcz, mpv.tcz) to not load.

2. xxhash.tcz, xxhash-dev.tcz, and upgraded rsync.tcz are missing from the repo.

Correction: xxhash.tcz and xxhash-dev.tcz are present in the TCL16 x86_64 repo.

libsndfile.tcz and the recently-upgraded rsync.tcz do appear to be missing.

Juanito:
libsndfile and rsync copied over

GNUser:
Thanks, Juanito. Everything is humming now.

A major version upgrade with such minimal hiccups is something I've only ever experienced on TCL. Thanks and kudos to the team.
