I believe those changes are all new with 8.6.0 (released in December
2012), not 8.6.4. In other words, yes, those are new features, not minor
updates, and Tkinter should support them, but they have been present and
out in the wild for more than two years. I'm a bit surprised that no
one in the Python community has tracked these developments. Does Tkinter
have a lead maintainer?
Serhiy Storchaka currently. He currently works on other modules, but I
presume continues to look at tkinter issues when they arrive. I am
thinking of posting to pydev to make sure that there is no policy
against tracking new features, and if not, open a master issue pointing
to updates page and listing tk changes that need action. I believe that
new option values like PhotoImage(format='png') work already because
'png' just gets passed on to tcl/tk, without tkinter knowing about
allowed values. I am not sure about new option names.
