</div>Tcl/Tk 8.6 has been in the works for years, so I wouldn't say its entirely new. But yes, a lot has changed since 8.5, which was released 5 years ago. I plan to switch all the Pd-extended builds to it once 0.43.4 is out. So its good to hear that so far, its working fine :)<br>
<br>
Tcl/Tk 8.6 is also already in Ubuntu/raring and Debian/sid.<br>
