my clients are trying to upgrade from 7.6 to 8.2 tcl<br>
any known issues or concerns?<br>
where can i find info regarding the upgrade?<br>
your help is greatly appreciated<br>

 
Watch out if you are using &quot;scan&quot; and a format string including &quot;%x&quot; to parse hex values above 0x7FFFFFFF (assuming 32 bit hardware). Up to 8.0, these were translated to negative integers; in 8.1 and 8.2 all such values are mapped to 0x7FFFFFFF - I don't like this!
 
I have found that in upgrading to 8.2, I also had to upgrade our Tix version, and that is causing us major headaches because the tixMwm command in Tix 4.1.00.7 DOES NOT WORK.<br>

<br>

Why do we keep pretending that Tcl/Tk is a viable "product" on which to base a development effort?
