Re: [TCLCORE] Tcl 9.0.4 Release Candidates

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

Fixed in the thread repository now.

 

However, the 9.0.4 release candidate would not be having that check as it
includes thread 3.0.5 and the check was added for 3.0.6. Were you using the
release candidate or a thread repository checkout?

The thread package now requires autoconf 2.73

Now the scripts fail because these distros have lower versions installed:

 

RHEL9:  2.69

Debian 12 Bookworm: 2.72

Ubuntu 22 Jammy: 2.71

 

I did not see any specific features used from this autoconf 2.73 version.

 

Could it be downgraded to 2.69 at least?

Builds fine and Tcl/Tk test suites running successfully (with the usual 3
Windows exceptions) on the following platforms:
MacOS 15.7.1       M2      clang 17.0.0
Suse 15.6          x86_64  gcc 7.5.0
Debian ARM         arm64   gcc 12.2.0
Windows 11         x86     gcc 14.2.0
Windows 11         x86_64  gcc 14.2.0
Windows 11         x86_64  VS2022

I noticed a strange behaviour using Tk 9.0.4 and the Img extension on macOS:
The attached script draws a blue rectangle into a canvas and grabs the
canvas content into a photo image using the "window" format of Img.
With Tk 8.6.18 and 9.0.3 this returns the correct color value (0,0,255).
Using 9.0.4 it returns (0,0,245). Happens only on macOS.
Can anybody please confirm this behaviour?

Regards,
Paul
