Tcl/Tk 8.5 has been released

[François Vogel]

Hi all,


Tcl/Tk 8.5 has been officially released, by the Tcl Core Team as a 
source package:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10894
http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/8.5.html

and by ActiveState as a binary package:

Allan Cornet wrote that

"Scilab 5.x will use Tcl/Tk 8.5 by default when Tcl/Tk 8.5 will be 
released"

in

http://wiki.scilab.org/Linking_Scilab_with_Tcl/Tk_8.5

therefore I thought you would be interested to know that this happened.


Full announcements at c.l.t are here (for the TCT):

An interesting reference for grasping quickly what's new against 8.4 
is the "Busy Developer's Guide to Tcl/Tk 8.5" that can be found here:

Merry Christmas to those who feel concerned.
