Return values of some Tk::Wm methods (e.g. aspect, wmGrid,
288
iconposition, resizable ...) were changed from returning tclish
289
lists (e.g. "1 2 3 4") to perlish lists (1,2,3,4). I believe the

Tk::Widget: translated UnderlineAmpersand etc. functions.

Tk::MsgBox: again in Tk, completely new translation from the Tcl/Tk
313
original. Looks nicer and behaves better than messageBox through
317
Fixed crashes of Perl/Tk applications when Gtk/Gnome applications
318
were started. See http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=16053
320
ptksh is not slow anymore when popping up history.
321
ptksh: use fixed font for text area.
323
Tk::FBox may handle paths with high-bit set.

Corrected installation path for Tk::Menu::Item.
360
Fixed invalid Pod syntax.
363
Converted some tests from Test to Test::More
365
Enable unicode tests where possible.
367
Make all tests working with XFT=1.
369
New tests, converted from the Tcl counterparts: canvas.t, wm-tcl.t,
370
text.t (latter not completed yet)
372
00wmcheck.t: show user's window manager before starting tests.
374
(Almost) no test should request user positioning windows (for old
375
window managers like twm).
377
Some wm-dependent tests were marked as TODO tests.
