Patch releases fix bugs without changing any features, so you should normally use the latest patch release for the version of Tk that you want. - Patch releases are available in two forms.

To apply an - uncompressed patch file such as tk8.0p1.patch, invoke a shell - command like the following from the directory containing this - file (you may need to replace "patch -p" with "patch -p0" - depending on your version of the patch program): - patch -p < tk8.0p1.patch - If the patch file has a .gz extension, it was compressed with - gzip.
