Hi everyone, I've recently been added as a co-maintainer to Tcl::pTk. Thanks to John Cerney for helping me get started. I'm particularly interested in its use with macOS aqua, since it allows running Perl/Tk programs with native aqua UI and without needing XQuartz. I released Tcl::pTk 0.93 to address a few issues which I and other users have reported so far. The more important usability changes are: - focusFollowsMouse Perl/Tk syntax support (RT #125057) - Adjust mousewheel scrolling units for macOS aqua (RT #125048) - Use mouse buttons 4 and 5 for scrolling on X11 only (not aqua) - Bind widgets' events for mouse buttons 2 and 3 correctly on aqua (since they are backwards from how X11 and Windows assign them; RT #125050, #125460) - Prevent error when invoking Cut from F2 key (RT #125460) - Allow '-forwards' for FindNext() direction, as documented by newer Perl/Tk (RT #125532) I've also added a p5-tcl-ptk port to MacPorts. It doesn't yet provide complete functionality; at the moment, some of the ports for Tk extensions (Tix and Tktable) only work with the X11 variant of the Tk port. Christopher A. Chavez
