Once a rough version <br/>is available across all three platforms, I'll invite testing and submit <br/>a TIP, but that is many months away.<br/><br/>--Kevin<br/><br/>On 10/28/24 9:33 AM, Harald Oehlmann wrote:<br/>> R6) Decoupling of TCL and Tk release<br/>>   - There is a strong support to decouple TCL and Tk (minor) releases<br/>>   - Don is ready to release Tk separately at any time<br/>>   - Major Tk people were missing in the call<br/>>   - Eventually own infra-structure: TIP, Team<br/>>   It would be great to build-up a Tk team and a working way.<br/>>   Any people for a task force? <br/>
