-We are now very close to passing the test suite for Tk. We are very
-interested in finding remaining bugs that still linger. Please let us
-know (and send us test cases) of any bugs you find.
-
-Known bugs:
-
-* Transient windows (set by wm transient) do not go away when the
- master does.
-
-* Tearoff menus should be floating windows & floating windows should
- float. They also shouldn't be resizable.
-
-* The -use and -container windows only work with other Tk windows in
- the same process. Also, if you try really hard (for instance by binding
- on Destroy of an embedded window and destroying the container's toplevel)
- you can get Tk to crash. This should never be necessary, however, since
- the destruction of the embedded window triggers the destruction of the
- container, so you can watch that instead.
- All the focus bugs in Tk8.0 have been fixed, however.
-
-* The send command is only implemented within the same app.
-
-* You cannot color buttons, and the indicators for radiobuttons and
- checkbuttons under Appearance. They will always use the current
- Theme color. But, then, you are not supposed to...
-
-* Drawing is not really correct. This shows up mostly in the canvas
- when line widths are greater than one. Unfortunantly, this will not
- be easy to fix.
-
-* The active menu highlight color in Tearoff menus will not match the system-wide
- menu highlight color under Appearance. It will be black instead. This is not
- easy to fix, since the Appearance API's don't really allow you to get your hands
- on this information...
-
-There are many other bugs. However, will no get listed until they
-are reported at least once. Send those bug reports in!

+This was a new feature as of Tcl7.6b1 and as such I'll started with
+a clean slate. I currently know of no reproducable bugs. I often
+get vague reports - but nothing I've been able to confirm. Let
+me know what bugs you find!
+
+The Macintosh version of Tcl passes most all tests in the Tcl
+test suite. Slower Macs may fail some tests in event.test whose
+timing constraints are too tight. If other tests fail please report
+them.

+Known bugs in the current release.
+
+* With the socket code you can't use the "localhost" host name. This
+ is actually a known bug in Apple's MacTcp stack. However, you can
+ use [info hostname] whereever you would have used "localhost" to
+ achive the same effect.
+
+* Most socket bugs have been fixed. We do have a couple of test cases
+ that will hang the Mac, however, and we are still working on them.
+ If you find additional test cases that show crashes please let us
+ know!
+
+* In Tcl 8.2, the new Regexp code seems to be more deeply recursive than
+the older version in Tcl8.0. As a result, I have had to increase the Stack
+size of Tcl to 1Meg. If you are not doing regexps with many subexpressions,
+this is probably more stack than you will need. You can relink with the
+stack set to 512K, and you will be fine for most purposes.
+* This regexp problem is fixed in Tcl8.3. If you are going to do complex
+regexp's, it is probably a good idea to keep the stack size big. But normal
+regexps will not cause crashes.
+
+* The "clock scan -base" command does not work. The epoch is wrong.
+* The file mtime command does not work when setting the time, it is off
+by 4 years.
