[New-bugs-announce] [issue19486] Bump up version of Tcl/Tk in building Python in Windows platform

[Vajrasky Kok]

New submission from Vajrasky Kok:

Right now, at November 3rd 2013, the latest minor version of Tcl/Tk 8.5 is 8.5.15.

http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads
http://www.tcl.tk/

When building Python in Windows in release mode (not debug mode), I had to download the Tcl/Tk binary build from ActiveState which only offers 8.5.15 version. To download the older version, you have to buy business license from them.

So maybe it's the time to bump up the version?

Of course we have to update the svn repository as well.
