Re: [TCLCORE] Tcl/Tk 9.0b3 Release Candidate

[<apn...@ya...>]

Tested 9.0b3rc1 with following platforms and configs:

Windows x64, Visual Studio 2022, shared-zipfs, static-zipfs, shared-nozipfs, static-nozipfs
Windows x64, MingW64 gcc 8, shared-zipfs, static-zipfs
Fedora 40, gcc 14, shared-zipfs, static-zipfs, shared-nozipfs, static-nozipfs
Ubuntu 20.04, gcc 9.4, shared-zipfs

No TBDC extension tested except sqlite3. Tk only tested in Windows.

TL;DR - no new failures, ok for beta3.

Failures:
On Fedora, gcc 14, zlib-8.{8,16} fail as in rc0. Not seen on Windows or Ubuntu. Ticket logged

Other usual failures (clipboard, chmod on Windows) can be ignored.

Subject: [TCLCORE] Tcl/Tk 9.0b3 Release Candidate


Now available at

https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/files/Tcl/9.0b3/

are RC1 candidate source code distribution pre-releases of Tcl 9.0b3 and Tk 9.0b3.

This is the second of a sequence of candidate releases leading to the release of
Tcl/Tk 9.0b3.  Testing of builds and operations on multiple platforms is invited.  Open
tickets on any problems discovered, or raise the issue in a reply to this message.
The aim is to clean up the problems that are easily discovered so that a broader
audience receiving the Tcl/Tk 9.0b3 release can focus attention on deeper issues
needing beta testing to discover.

The Thread package included with Tcl 9.0b3 is version Thread 3.0b4, and includes
bug fixes compared to prior bundled releases.  All other bundled packages included
with Tcl 9.0b3 are releases that have already been included in some prior Tcl release.

Unless an unexpected severe problem is found with these release artifacts, expect
them to become the Tcl/Tk 9.0b3 releases on or around July 31, 2024.

Beta releases of Tcl/Tk 9.0 have been a great success at achieving a growing circle
of testing of the broad universe of Tcl/Tk programs.  Each one has brought up bugs
and issues to be resolved, improving the quality of Tcl/Tk 9.0. Spread the word.

Thank you for your contributions and assistance.
