[ANN] TclTk 8.3.5 MacOS Classic binary distribution available

[Daniel A. Steffen]

[[ This message was both posted and mailed: see
the "To," "Cc," and "Newsgroups" headers for details. ]]

I have updated the TclTk installers for MacOS Classic to the newly released 8.3.5

They are available for download from the Tcl file release page on Sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10894&release_id=117872

As usual, there are three different versions of the installer:
- runtime-only: appropriate for most users (4.5M)
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/MacTclTk_8.3.5_RuntimeInstl.bin?download
- full: with additional binaries, projects and full sources (18.6M)
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/MacTclTk_8.3.5_FullInstall.bin?download
- active web: download-on-demand version of the full installer (0.5M + up to 20M)
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/MacTclTk_8.3.5_WebInstall.bin?download

Summary of mac specific changes below; see the 8.3.5 release announcement
and ChangeLog for more detailed information:

-------------------- Mac specific changes/fixes since 8.3.4 --------------------

* tweaked MSL libraries to weak link with all apple libraries (including
InterfaceLib), which should workaround the various "symbol not found"
startup errors on old OS versions that have been reported.

* updated WASTE lib (included in MSL) to 2.0 final.

* updated MoreFiles to 1.5.3.

* built with latest UniversalInterfaces (3.4.2).

Mac specific Tcl changes since 8.3.4:

* [resource, AppleScript]: added utf8 conversion of text resource
contents and of resource/applescript file names.

* for files created by tcl, use MSL provided creator type if
available instead of the default 'MPW '.

* [socket]: fixed option comparison to behave like on other platforms.

* fix for daylight savings TZName bug

Mac specific Tk changes since 8.3.4:

* include msgcat package in resources as bgerror depends on it.
Restores ability of mac static build to run standalone
(except for encoding file issues).

* fixes to allow Tk to hookup C library stdin/stdout/stderr to
TkConsole when using shared MSL libraries; fix for crashing
bug on exit triggered by writing to stdin/sterr when console
has already been destroyed. (both fixes need support in MSL,
see file 'CW Pro6 changes').

* mac/tkMacDialog.c: fixes to Navigation Services Dialog filter.

* mac/tkMacDraw.c: add panic for overwide TkImages that would
crash Tk on mac otherwise.
