RedHat is free to decide whatever they want, but Tk is still the simplest way to develop some software. Tcl/Tk itself is in version 8.4, it had unicode support earlier than Gtk, and is still under active development, and I see no need to kill it. > Unfortunately LablTk needs it, and some Caml tools use it. > OCamlBrowser being one. > > Time to move to Gtk? Alternatively, a simple GUI which can > use either? Or even Windows or Mac style Guis? I suppose a move to Gtk will eventually take place. For this Gtk2 is a requirement (Gtk lacks some essential widgets present in Tk). But LablGtk2 is now usable enough we can start to think about it. So yes, I see a change ahead, but certainly not in 3.07! And of course labltk/camltk support will not be dropped.
