You are joking right? Tcl 8.5 and 8.4 have a lot of differences. The worst
of them is #483836 which can be hardly fixed. Tcl has released 8.6b1 which
won't be in F-11 for sure. I'm waiting for stable release. The list of
dependencies could be found here:

Uh, thanks. That looks to be quite a problem indeed. Actually, the
lack of threading might explain some of the bugs I see with Chez
Scheme's graphics module.

Will 8.6 be compiled with threading support for F-12?

Thanks,

I don't know if it will be with thread support.

There will be probably two or three beta version, which I will try.

In Mandriva we actually had threading support for a while and then I was
specifically asked to disable it as it causes a substantial problem with
Expect:

https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=42596

as per the rather substantial discussion both in that report and in the
associated upstream conversation:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/browse_thread/thread/805731c32f53c4b7

Yes, I read it.
it was determined that building with threading really doesn't help
anything much. So, as mentioned in that bug, I disabled threading in the
MDV build.

Why did want you want to have threading enabled?
Some packages work with enabled threading. Also tcl8.4 was built with thread support and users will be disappointed when their application refuse to work ;-)
