We are pleased to announce the 8.0.5 releases of the Tcl scripting language and the Tk toolkit. This patch release has over 30 bug fixes that include improvements to the configuration and build process, additions to the test suite, as well as fixes for the Tcl and Tk core systems. A separate posting will acknowledge those contributors. Within a few days they will also appear at numerous mirror sites around the Internet. Below is a summary of the most important changes in the 8.0.5 releases.
Minor feature added to socket command so they handle errors during async connections.
Added fconfigure -error option to retrieve the failure message. Changed keyboard shortcuts so they will only be found in the current toplevel. Previously, they might be found in menus attached to other toplevels that might not even be mapped.
