Mac OS X Tcl/Tk Aqua 8.4.7 Binary Release Announcement

I'm pleased to announce the availability of Mac OS X binary
distributions for Tcl/Tk Aqua 8.4.7, the Mac OS X native port of the
Tcl scripting language and the Tk toolkit; bundled with fifty popular
extensions.
The distributions are downloadable as compressed disk images from the
Tcl/Tk Aqua file release page on SourceForge:

Changes:
--- 2/Aug/04 Released 8.4.7.0 -----------------------------------------------
- Added new projects: TclSQLite, TclJava.
- Updated all existing components to latest sources, the following projects have
changed: Tcl/Tk, Tcl/Tk Manpages, TclX, Thread, TclVFS, Expect, Tcllib, Tklib,
TkTable, Tile, Treectrl, tDOM, Memchan, TclHttpd, SWIG, Oomk, Snack,
QuickTimeTcl, TclAddressBook, e4Graph, Tkcon, TclApps, Tclkit, SDX, Wikit,
Wishkit, Tcl/Tk Prerelease.
- Fixed wishkit init.tcl to make it work in safe interps.
- Build expect with --enable-stubs.
- Install all sampleextension files into demos/Sampleextension.
- Use new TkAqua savvy tcl.m4 in tk extensions; removes the need for aqua
specific make overrides.
- Added patches to Xcode based extensions to allow building with Tcl/Tk
frameworks located outside of /Library/Frameworks (sync with Darwin-TclBI).
- Remove autom4te.cache before & after calls to autoconf.
- Added stripping of libraries and executables during install where necessary,
added -S -x stripping of dylibs during destroot.
- Implemented 'destroot' build action for use from 'package' and 'archive' build
actions: 'destroot' installs targets into subdir of DESTROOT_DIR once, then
copies from DESTROOT_DIR into INSTALL_ROOT (via ditto) on every use of
'destroot', avoiding multiple redundant invocations of 'make install' during a
full distribution build.
- Fixed group ownership inside package & archive tarballs.
- Rationalized non-standard project src dir and build dir determination.
- Only attempt patch generation of non-cvs projects when orig dir is present.
- fixes to tclvfs & tclapps patches: corrected symbolic link resolution in
starkit.tcl and taip.tcl, brought starkit pkg version up to 1.3.1
