ok during freeze jperkin@
Alongside the Tcl/Tk 8.6.9 releases just announced, you will find one
additional file, tk8.6.9.1-src.tar.gz . This is an errata release
fixing a critical error on the Mac OSX 10.14 Mojave platform only.
If you are building Tk for any other platform, there is no need to
upgrade to the errata release. If you do upgrade to it anyway, you will
see no difference, so it will be harmless through wasted effort, as the
details below will explain.
When unpacked, the errata archive differs from the tk8.6.9-src.tar.gz
contents in only three lines of the file
tk8.6.9/macosx/tkMacOSXWindowEvent.c
which is a file compiled only for Mac OSX builds of Tk. The lines are
written to have effect only on Mojave. Every other byte of the source
code distribution is unchanged.

* Updated to Unicode 6.2 support. Fixes for several crashes and bugs.
and end up with libtk85.so. The default case would end up with libtk8.5.so
instead, which at least conflicts with what the PLIST says, but also
eventually failed to build on platforms ending up with the default behaviour.
Fixes the build on Linux platforms, should be no change elsewhere.
The version of the new tk package had some problems.
- The x11 paths weren't coming through
- The tkConfig.sh utility was missing runpath definition for TK_LIB_SPEC
- Threading was automatically selected
The X11 problem was fixed with addition CONFIGURE_ARGS
The runpath for TK_LIB_SPEC was added in the configure patch
An options.mk file was added based on the tcl version.

Highlights of Tk 8.5
* New modern theming engine: New and complementary widgets that make use
of platform-specific theming on Mac OS X and Windows to better fit in
with those environments, and feature an improved look and feel under
X11.
* New widgets: Part of the themed widget set, Tk now has core notebook,
combobox, treeview and progressbar widgets.
* text widget: Smooth scrolling, widget peering, and improved procedures
for counting and replacing text.
* Font rendering: Now uses anti-aliased text under X11, and a more
modern text engine (ATSUI) on Mac OS X.
* Additional improvements: Window transparency, new fullscreen option
for windows, enhancements to specific widgets and window layout,
and more.
There is of course much, much more.
See [8.5 Changes](http://wiki.tcl.tk/10630) on the wiki for a complete
list of new features.
its own, starting with "VirtualEvent" (Which is correctly set to LASTEvent,
defined in include/X11/X.h). In xproto-7.0.13, a new event "GenericEvent" was
added - making the defined array broken for all of Tk's internal events.
The easy fix is to just add in the missing event into the hard-coded array.
This patch was reported here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=225999
A cleaner fix, but a much bigger patch, is listed in the Tk bug tracker. I'm
punting that Tk will have been updated with the fix before X.h grows another
event.
