Description: The plus-patch files for Tcl/Tk 8.x adds varying types of
fixes and enhancements. At some point during development, versions
fixed the event-handling of Tcl such that Tk could be loaded
dynamically. Other bug fixes and enhancements (such
as the ones from Trf 1.0) are also present, such as the elide
patch required for tkman, dash and Img patches for Tk,
fileevent patches for Windows, Cygwin-B20.1 support and more.
These work on both Unix and Visual C++ on Windows.
These patches are compatible with the dash and img patches
and extensions as well.
Patches for Tclx (code and help), Tix, and tcl plugin are included
with the plus patch distribution.
Note that on the ftp site, tar files containing the fully patched
versions of Tcl and Tk are available, for folks wanting to use
Tkpvm but unable to apply the patches themselves. These files
also have the dash patch applied.
The ftp site may have patches for older Tcl/Tk versions.
Versions thru Tcl/Tk 8.2 are available. Note that as the core team
incorporates Jan's fixes, they will disappear from future versions
of the patches. Plus patch Windows users are encouraged to upgrade
to the latest plus patch version.
This file includes patches for itcl, itk, and iwidgets.
Provides enhanced dynamic loading,
ability to create stand-alone executables, additional image
formats, includes tkcon (version 0.70), includes new channel
functions.
Currently the plus patch works with Tcl up through 8.3.1 .

What is the status of these patches - have all the bug fixes and features gone into
Tcl and
Tk, so that they are no longer needed? If not, then are they still being created?
