ANNOUNCE: Tk-804.027-p4.patch.gz

An update to the compilation of patches to Tk 804.027 may be
downloaded from my CPAN directory

    SREZIC/patches/Tk-804.027-p4.patch.gz

(e.g. from
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-authors/id/SREZIC/patches/Tk-804.027-p4.patch.gz
)

Here's a list of changes since the p3 patch:

Compiles and passes tests on

  FreeBSD 6.1 + perl5.8.8 + fontconfig 2.3.2
  FreeBSD 6.1 + bleadperl + fontconfig 2.3.2
  Linux Debian + perl5.8.8 + fontconfig 2.4.1

I also had success with compiling under recent cygwin using the x11
libraries a few days earlier.

Fixes
  XFT works now with recent fontconfig, no core dumps anymore.

  Fix for segfault in t/regexp.t with perl 5.9.x. See also
  http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2006-02/msg00748.html
  for a similar issue.

  Workaround for core dumps when using -font=>undef.

  Fixed wrong usage of $#{@...} which does not work anymore in
  bleadperl.

  Fixed Tk::Text movements wordstart and wordend in unicode content.

  Better handling of undef in BrowseEntry widgets. Bug reported by
  Puetz Kevin A.

  A couple of compilation warning fixes.

Tests
  Continued text.t conversion.

  More tests in font.t.

  Fixed failing tests if no windows manager (under X11) is running.

  Fixed some false test failures in listbox.t (font detection was
  wrong).

  Disabled fork.t and fileevent.t on cygwin (same like MSWin32).

Regards,
        Slaven
