I'd like to get our system admins to upgrade to Tcl/Tk 8.5, but we've got some applications deployed that use BLT (mostly vectors and graphs), and BLT releases only work for the 8.4 versions. I'd thought about doing some of the upgrade work myself.
But I also just noticed that ghowlett is quietly making commits to BLT's sourceforge CVS. I haven't seen postings or email by George in some time. But I recall that his policy was to wait until a "final" Tcl/Tk release before working on upgrading BLT. I tried to drop him a note via sourceforge offering to help, but I didn't get a response.
Does anybody know if George is working on upgrading BLT to Tcl/Tk 8.5? Or how to contact him?

We use BLT with 8.5 on windows and haven't run into any problems (yet. knock on wood!) I believe I got my version at the following address; I don't recall how I stumbled upon it. Google smiled on me, I guess.

Thanks, Bryan. I think I saw that too. But I got scared off by the "dirty patch" and "dangerous patch" comments. If its working for you, maybe I'll take another look.
