+
+11/25/97 (security bug fix + added feature) Tk Safe Init now asks
+the master's safe::TkInit for the 'argv' to use. This is transparently
+dealt with by the safe::loadTk API. New optional "-display displayName"
+argument to safe::loadTk, and the "-use" argument accepts both window
+Ids and Tk window names: see loadTk(n). Made the ":0.0" default display
+work on the Mac as it works on Windows and Unix. (DL)
+
+12/3/97 (bug fix/optimization) Removed unneeded and potentially dangerous
+instances of double evaluations if "if" and "expr" statements from
+the library files. It is recommended that unless you need a double
+evaluation you always use "expr {...}" instead of "expr ..." and
+"if {...} ..." instead of "if ... ...". It will also be faster
+thanks to the byte compiler. (DL)
+
+12/3/97 (new feature) Added support for browser/plugin style embedding, 
+and made various other fixes to get the plugin working on the Mac. (JI)

+12/97 (bug fix) more Macintosh embeding fixes needed for the plugin. (JI)
+
+Jan/9/98 (improvement) Allow applications to have custom init script
+without  having to patch the Tk core: Tk_Init will use an existing
+"tkInit" proc if one exists in the interp where one tries to install Tk
+instead of defining it's own (tkInit is the transient proc defined in
+generic/tkInitScript.h that searches and sources tk.tcl and defines 
+the 'correct' tk_library). (DL)

+Changes for Tk 8.0 go above this line.
+Changes for Tk 8.1 go below this line.
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+1/16/98 (new feature) Tk now supports international characters sets:
+    - Font display mechanism overhauled to display Unicode strings
+      containing full set of international characters.  You do not need
+      Unicode fonts on your system in order to use tk or see international
+      characters.  For those familiar with the Japanese or Chinese patches,
+      there is no "-kanjifont" option.  Characters from any available fonts
+      will automatically be used if the widget's originally selected font is
+      not capable of displaying a given character.  
+    - Textual widgets are international aware.  For instance, cursor
+      positioning commands would now move the cursor forwards/back by 1
+      international character, not by 1 byte.  
+    - Input Method Editors (IMEs) work on Mac and Windows.  Unix is still in
+      progress.
+
+7/7/97 (new feature) The send command now works for Microsoft
+Windows. It is implemented using Dynamic Data Exchange, and a new
+command, dde, allows Tk to send more generic DDE commands to other
+applications. (SRP)
+
+11/3/97 (new feature) Major overhaul of code that manages configuration
+options to use Tcl_Obj structures instead of strings:
+    - There is a new set of procedures including Tk_CreateOptionTable,
+      Tk_InitOptions, and Tk_SetOptions, which replace Tk_ConfigureWidget
+      and related procedures.  The old procedures are still available.
+      The new procedures use a new format for configuration tables.
+      See SetOptions.3 for more information.
+    - There are new procedures Tk_AllocColorFromObj, Tk_GetColorFromObj,
+      and Tk_FreeColorFromObj to manage colors using objects to hold the
+      name of the color and cache the corresponding XColor pointer.
+      There are similar procedures Tk_Alloc3DBorderFromObj,
+      Tk_AllocBitmapFromObj, Tk_AllocCursorFromObj, Tk_AllocFontFromObj,
+      and so on to manage borders, bitmaps, cursors, and fonts.
+    - The old-style procedures such as Tk_GetColor and Tk_GetBitmap no
+      longer take Tk_Uids for arguments; they just take strings.
+    - Menus, labels, buttons, checkbuttons, and radiobuttons have been
+      converted to use the new object-based configuration library.
+      (SRP & JO)
+
+11/7/97 (improvement) Changed code referring to "interp->result" to call
+accessor functions like Tcl_SetResult().
+
+12/23/97 (fix) Fixed transparency and web optimized the palette of
+the images/ Tcl powered logos. (DL)
+
+12/16/97 (bug fix) Canvas and text "bind" subcommands generated an
+error with no message if called to fetch a binding that didn't exist.
+They now silently return without an error like the "bind" command. (SS)
+
+1/13/98 (bug fix) Keysyms for international characters were not being
+reported properly under Windows. (SS)
+

+
+2/4/98 (bug fix) Calling XFreeFontNames() twice if couldn't allocate
+font. (CCS)
+
+2/10/98 (bug fix) Inlined prolog.ps in tkCanvPs.c to make it accessible
+from safe interpreters: canvas postscript now works in safe interps
+(like in tk8.0plugin). (DL)
+
+2/11/98 (bug fix) Windows "send" to a remote interp wasn't propagating
+$errorInfo correctly from the remote interp to the local invoking interp.

+
+2/11/98 (bug fix) Windows "send" should have accepted "--" to mean "no more
+arguments". (CCS)
+
+2/11/98 (bug fix) Windows "send" was concatenating its arguments
+incorrectly (not consistent with "eval", "uplevel", or Unix "send"). (CCS)
+
+2/18/98 (bug fix) Macintosh radiobuttons and checkbuttons now color
+their backgrounds correctly under Appearance.  The controls gadgets themselves
+however, remain the Theme colors. (JI)
+
+2/18/98 (improvement) The corner pixels that peek through around the
+rounded corners of the Mac button widget are now controlled by the
+-highlightbackground, rather than the -background option. (JI)
+
+2/18/98 (improvement) Implemented the intra-application Send on the
+Mac (RJ)
+
+2/18/98 (bug fix) Under X, a problem mapping from a fontStructPtr to an
