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).

It is recommended that unless you need a double +evaluation you always use "expr {...}" instead of "expr ..." and +"if {...} ..." instead of "if ... ...".

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.
