Hello Don, thanks for getting these out.

Some feedback regarding Tk changes:

> 2023-05-13 (bug)[341469] Dialogs robust against parent destruction (vogel)

341469 is ambiguous. The original SourceForge bug ID was 3414695.

> 2023-07-09 (bug)[578441] Aqua: memleak in TkpOpenDisplay (chavez)

This is bug a526d42999; 578441 looks duplicated from an above entry.

> 2023-07-23 (bug)[f24735] Aqua: crash in [label .l -bitmap floppy] (chavez)

Bug ID contains typo; should be f24725b545. A better description might be “crash when using Aqua pre-defined bitmap names“ (as Tk_GetBitmap documentation calls them).

> 2023-08-30 (bug)[ef5d3e] Aqua: crash on repeated display of dialog (chavez)

Showing a dialog repeatedly is an artifact of the test provided by one of the reporters of this bug; there were other ways to trigger the bug, but the thing in common was that the crash occurs after destroying the root toplevel of the first Tk interpreter of the process (which, to Python users, means destroying the first tkinter.Tk() instance). So I would suggest a description like “Aqua: crash after destroying root toplevel in first Tk interpreter”.


Hope this helps
