Tcl/Tk has been updated to 8.5.11 with the following important changes: * Tcl now uses *NIX APIs and will behave like other Cygwin programs with regards to filename paths, etc.
* Tk (tcl-tk) now uses X11 instead of GDI. This means the following Tk-based applications now require an X server at runtime: - gitk and git-gui - WordNet - wordview (from the catdoc package) - idle - Anything using python's tkinter or ruby's tcltk modules. * The following Tcl extensions are now packaged separately: - tcl-itcl - tcl-itk - tcl-iwidgets - tcl-tix - tcl-tk * Most packages which used tcltk have been rebuilt and will pull in whichever tcl packages they now require. * Any Tcl extensions or applications which you have installed yourself will need to be rebuilt. Please report any issues encountered with this upgrade to the Cygwin list. -- Yaakov Cygwin/X CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO ================================ If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, please use the automated form at: http://cygwin.com/lists.html#subscribe-unsubscribe If this does not work, then look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
