    thank you all to boost TCL/Tk to make TCL/Tk 8.7 and TCL 9.0 happen.
    You are awesome !

    Thanks back to you for the leadership and organization to produce so
    much progress.

    Special thanks also to Jan Nijtmans for the management of so many
    proposals and implementations.

    And as you already observe there is a whole team of awesome people to
    celebrate and acknowledge.

    The date for the last TIP vote call of end of September has passed
    and a great
    number of TIPs passed.

    I think, it would be great, if we could:
    - set a time table to get to the release

    With TIP 623 completed, I will move to begin a release cycle right
    away. Release candidates for Tcl/Tk 8.6.13 will be available soon,
    maybe today. There will be some work to get it finalized and we'll want
    folks to give it their usual vetting. I expect that will unfold in a
    series of candidates over several days as it normally does.

    Let me observe a few things.

    There are several TIP votes in progress, and a few more ready to go.

    The plan I saw earlier this year was for a TIP vote deadline on
    October 30.

    Releases take time, and continued proposal work can proceed during
    that time.

    So I will proceed with making releases, but I don't think the door on
    TIPs is fully closed at this point.

    Dear Don,

    that is great news, thank you for all!
    Just as a side note. The "agreement" was: last TIP start 2022-09-30. I
    don't see that to strict. The result was just fantastic.

    Thank you all,
    Harald
