Re: [TCLCORE] Monday noon TCL/Tk meeting report

[Harald O. <har...@el...>]

Dear Kevin,
thank you, I appreciate! This is really a long wanted and very useful 
feature and a big load of work. You are always taking the difficult 
ones, like the printing support in the past...

Thanks for Tk. Don wants to pass the message, that if Tk feels ready, it 
may do interim releases at any time.
Specially the Mac platform is subject of heavy changes. If Mark and team 
feels time for an additional release, please give a sign.
Also the other highly appreciated Tk developers - Francois, Csaba, are 
invited.
Thank you for all the great work,
Harald
