Linux RedHat 8.0 + perl5.8.7
MSWin32 + Strawberry Perl (5.8.8)
There are some test failures with bleedperl, most of them
Tie::Watch-related, which will be fixed in a next version of the
patch.
Incompatible changes
Return values of some Tk::Wm methods (e.g. aspect, wmGrid,
iconposition, resizable ...) were changed from returning tclish
lists (e.g. "1 2 3 4") to perlish lists (1,2,3,4). I believe the
return values of these methods are rarely used.
Tk::Wm::wmTracing needs argument for setting on/off, without
argument just return the current value.
New features
The newest tkUnixWm.c from Tcl/Tk is now in the Perl/Tk code. This
adds (experimental?) support for wm attributes -topmost, -zoomed,
-fullscreen and other _NET_WM features (iconphoto) under Unix/X11.
Tk::Wm::stackorder was missing in Perl/Tk.
widget demonstration has a Ctrl-Q key binding.
ptksh: x is an alias for d (like in the perl debugger).
ptksh: use bold font for prompt.
Tk::Text: pasting selection with middle mouse sets cursor position now.
This is consistent with behaviour in other toolkits.
Tk::Widget: translated UnderlineAmpersand etc. functions.
Tk::MsgBox: again in Tk, completely new translation from the Tcl/Tk
original. Looks nicer and behaves better than messageBox through
Tk::DialogBox.
Fixes
Fixed crashes of Perl/Tk applications when Gtk/Gnome applications
were started. See http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=16053
ptksh is not slow anymore when popping up history.
ptksh: use fixed font for text area.
Tk::FBox may handle paths with high-bit set.
Image and bitmap filenames with high-bit set work now. See
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.perl.tk/msg/865b56226af23f7c
Minor Tk::TextList fixes, but still most tests fail.
Fixed some menu problems, see
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=15677,
http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=6166
Title of tearoff menus now set correctly.
ptked may be started without initial filename.
gedi works again.
Fixed some core dumps.
Tk::Listbox insert/delete does not leak memory anymore (well, not
that much). See
http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=12466
Building on RedHat systems works now, see
http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=6708
Tk::NoteBook fix for pages method, see
http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8567
Tk::Canvas fix for -state => hidden issue, see

Documentation
Tk::Widget::Walk is now documented.
Corrected installation path for Tk::Menu::Item.
Fixed invalid Pod syntax.
Tests
Converted some tests from Test to Test::More
Enable unicode tests where possible.
Make all tests working with XFT=1.
New tests, converted from the Tcl counterparts: canvas.t, wm-tcl.t,
text.t (latter not completed yet)
00wmcheck.t: show user's window manager before starting tests.
(Almost) no test should request user positioning windows (for old
window managers like twm).
Some wm-dependent tests were marked as TODO tests.
