• BUG: Tcl_GetRange() incompatibility not mentioned in release notes...

    From Georgios Petasis@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 16 18:31:53 2022
    Hi all,

    I have found that there was a silent change in Tcl_GetRange(), in
    8.6.11, not reported in the release notes as an incompatibility.

    Tcl_GetRange(), until 8.6.10, worked when last was -1.

    From 8.6.11 (and some point after 8.7a1), Tcl_GetRange() returns an
    empty string, if last < 0.

    In my view this is a very important change, that should not have been
    done in the first place.

    Hi all,

    As I have opened a ticket here: https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/tktview/e9a2715d912d86448a2ed18b2d25788cd50769b4

    Does anyone knows what is the procedure to add a comment?

    I have logged-in with the account that I created the ticket, but I
    cannot find a way to add a comment.
