Tcl/Tk 8.6 has been in the works for years, so I wouldn't say its entirely new. But yes, a lot has changed since 8.5, which was released 5 years ago. I plan to switch all the Pd-extended builds to it once 0.43.4 is out. So its good to hear that so far, its working fine :) Tcl/Tk 8.6 is also already in Ubuntu/raring and Debian/sid. .hc _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
