* Package name : tclthread3 Version : 3.0.1 Upstream Contact: Tcl Core Team * URL : https://core.tcl-lang.org/thread * License : (Tcl - BSD like) Programming Lang: (C, Tcl) Description : Tcl extension implementing script level access to Tcl threading capabilities (version 3 for Tcl 9) The thread extension creates threads that contain Tcl interpreters, and it lets you send scripts to those threads for evaluation. It also enables you to share data between threads in a safe, protected fashion. Additionally, it provides script-level access to basic thread synchronization primitives, like mutexes and condition variables. This is a new major version of the tclthread already present in Debian. It works for the new major version of Tcl (version 9). In the meantime I'll keep both tclthread and tclthread3 (they use Tcl internals, so tclthread works only with Tcl 8, and tclthread3 works only with Tcl 9). Eventually, when Tcl 8 usage will fade away, I'll remove the older tclthread from Debian. I'm planning to maintain the package myself under the umbrella of Debian Tcl/Tk Team. Cheers! -- Sergei Golovan
