TCL(Tool Command Language) Scripting :: Tcl/Tk 8.4.15 release


	Tcl/Tk 8.4.15 release Release candidates are available: ftp://ftp.tcl.tk/pub/tcl/tcl8_4/tcl8.4.15rc2-src.tar.gz ftp://ftp.tcl.tk/pub/tcl/tcl8_4/tk8.4.15rc2-src.tar.gz I'm often wrong about such things, but I think these candidates will become the actual release. Please find and report any reason that should not happen. Without such a report, expect the release to become official on Friday.

Tcl/Tk 8.4.14 was released in October, 2006. No no no. We just built a Linux box and it came with 8.4.7 and so I upgraded to 8.4.14 and tcllib 1.9. : ) Guess I will do it again soon.

I was wrong. Discovery and fix of a memory leaks has led to generation of Tcl 8.4.15 RC 3: ftp://ftp.tcl.tk/pub/tcl/tcl8_4/tcl8.4.15rc3-src.tar.gz Tk release candidate unchanged. > Please find and report any reason that should not happen. > Without such a report, expect the release to become official on Friday. -- \| Don Porter Mathematical and Computational Sciences Division \| \| donald.por@nist.gov Information Technology Laboratory \| \| http://math.nist.gov/~DPorter/ NIST \| \|______________________________________________________________________\| On May 23, 7:34 pm, Don Porter <d@nist.gov> wrote: > Release candidates are available: > Off to write release notes... Thanks Don ! I'd like to know the canonical place to look for the release notes (once you're done writing them :). Also, having them in hand, I'd also make good use of prebuilt binaries: I can devote some time to test specifically some areas, but certainly not setup a compilation environment just for that... Is there a place to look for such prebuilt binaries, for release candidates ? -Alex Don Porter schrieb: > I was wrong.

It fails for Linux (x86, x64, ia64, s390x) as well as Solaris 5.8, AIX 5.1 and 5.2 and HP-UX 11.23 ia64. I will look if I can come up with some more information later today. kind regards -- Matthias Kraft Software AG, Germany On May 25, 10:39 am, Matthias Kraft - Hide quoted text - <Matthias.Kr@nospam.softwareag.com> wrote: > Don Porter schrieb: > > I was wrong.

In that case 8.4.14 shows the same failure.

In that case 8.4.14 shows the same failure. Yes, thanks Mark. The issue resulted in the feature request: [1725700] Accept relative path for --prefix configure option ... and is no stopper for 8.4.15, of course. kind regards -- Matthias Kraft Software AG, Germany
