The unprintable characters has to do with the release notes not being properly utf8-ified... there's another bug about that and msw is working on it. Assigning to John for the various suggestions for additions As per bug 70896, Tkinter will be in the next release after all. There definitely seems to be a wave of sentiment against keeping it around much longer, though. If the decision to restore Tkinter is temporary and it will be pulled in a future release, I'd like to suggest that the intention to deprecate Tk and Tkinter be mentioned clearly in the release notes. That will give people time to migrate their existing Tk/Tkinter infrastructure to something new in time for the first RedHat release (presumably 9) that doesn't include Tk/Tkinter. I still think that Tk and Tkinter should not be deprecated, but if they are going to be, let's not have the decision be made silently. A lot of code out there uses these packages. Even if there are good alternatives on Linux and on RedHat Linux in particular, there are other considerations. I've stated my case in bug 70896 though, so I won't repeat it here. Thank you for your suggestions. We are adding entries and bulleted feature lists for the packages you mentioned and will be outlining new features for other major packages as well. Thanks again. |
