Hi all! I would like to know what are plans related to Tcl/Tk 8.5 release. Will be Ruby/Tk based on this release in future? If it will be, is possible to tell when (what Ruby versions)? Best regards, ---

I’m sorry, but it has many bugs and falls down very easily. There are two kinds of problems, that is, Ruby-VM support (it is difficult) and Tcl/Tk8.5 features support. Ruby/Tk on ruby-1.9.0 has a very strange problem. It is “‘self’ in the callback procedure is changed unexpectedly”. Still I cannot find the reason of why. > If it will be, is possible to tell when (what Ruby versions)? I’ll develop on ruby-1.9 for a while, and backport to ruby-1.8. I’m sorry but I cannot tell when. I hope it is not so far.
