Tcl/Tk 9.0 released

Date:
Mon, 30 Sep 2024 14:56:44 +0000

Description:
The most recent major release of the Tcl/Tk language and 
graphical-user-interface toolkit, Tcl/Tk 9.0 , has been released, a mere 27 
years after the 8,0 major release in 1997.  There have been plenty of 
releases in the interim, though, as can be seen in the Tcl chronology .  The 
9.0 release brings 64-bit data values, better Unicode support, the ability to 
use zip files as filesystems, a switch to use epoll() or kqueue() where they 
are available, SVG support in Tk, access to notifications and other 
desktop-platform services in Tk, and lots more.  For more information, see 
the release notes for Tcl and Tk that can be downloaded as Markdown files 
from the announcement page. (Thanks to Matt Bradley.)
