  • Porting extensions to Tcl 9

    From Paul Obermeier@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 5 22:13:57 2023
    Dear Tcl community,

    I created a Wiki page (https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Porting+extensions+to+Tcl+9)
    summarizing my experiences trying to port the Tcl packages or programs supported by BAWT to Tcl9.

    This page may help maintainers to port their extensions to Tcl9,
    so we hopefully have a suitable ecosystem at Tcl9 release time.

    Please feel free to add comments and corrections.

    Dear Paul,

    great work !!
    I see the changes for BWidget and TCLWS as a task for a new release, all
    no brainers.

    For me, the page shows all info two times. Is there a reason for this ?

    Take care,
    Harald

    Well, these are the obvious changes.
    Be aware, that there might be other changes necessary:
    1. "Replaced $tcl_platform with $::tcl_platform in namespaces" might also be necessary for ex. ::env or global variables defined in your scripts.
    2. "Changed functionality: ttk::combobox::current returns empty string instead of -1" might have been changede in other procs, too.


    Page corrected. Pressed Ctrl-V two times.

    I too would like to try a few packages on tcl 9.0 and I used to be able to download some single file binaries for 8.7 but I can't seem to find them anymore.

    Are there any 9.0 single file builds for windows I can try out?

    thanks

    Yes, Paul yesday underlined, that he does not feed-back any code to the original repositories. So, please catch the source-code from Paul and
    take the changes on your own.

    Thank you,
