Tons of good stuff this week. The anticipated 8.0.5 core release is out. I was excited to see Fuzz's work on embedding Tcl/Tk as an ActiveX control. For extension authors, check out the draft proposal on Scriptics' TEA site, and watch for more news soon.

• The Tcl/Tk 8.0.5 core has been released (see DN453234817)
