Tcl/Tk 8.6.9 Release Announcement
November 16, 2018

Alongside the Tcl/Tk 8.6.9 releases just announced, you will find one
additional file, tk8.6.9.1-src.tar.gz . This is an errata release
fixing a critical error on the Mac OSX 10.14 Mojave platform only.
If you are building Tk for any other platform, there is no need to
upgrade to the errata release. If you do upgrade to it anyway, you will
see no difference, so it will be harmless through wasted effort, as the
details below will explain.

When unpacked, the errata archive differs from the tk8.6.9-src.tar.gz
contents in only three lines of the file
    tk8.6.9/macosx/tkMacOSXWindowEvent.c
which is a file compiled only for Mac OSX builds of Tk. The lines are
written to have effect only on Mojave. Every other byte of the source
code distribution is unchanged.

Big thanks to Marc Culler for completing this new port of Tk to the
Mojave platform, and big apologies from me for this botch in the
release.

Happy Tcling with Tk!
