mouse wheel in 8.7

It appears that Tk 8.7a5 on linux has different processing of mouse wheel events from 8.6. On 8.6 and previous, rotating the wheel produces a ButtonPress 4 or 5 event, depending on direction of rotation. This no longer happens in 8.7a5. Is this an intentional change or a bug? Is there a list somewhere of changes in 8.7 relative to 8.6?

Csaba Nemethi 2022-07-21: Most of the changes related to the processing of mouse wheel events in Tk 8.7 were proposed in TIP 474 . According to this specification, in Tk 8.7a5 and later the set of mouse wheel events is the same on all windowing systems:

• The mouse wheel events along the vertical axis are <MouseWheel> and <Option-MouseWheel>, where the Option modifier is bound to the Option key on Mac OS X/11+ and to the Alt key on Windows and X11.
• The mouse wheel events along the horizontal axis are <Shift-MouseWheel> and <Shift-Option-MouseWheel>, where the Option modifier is bound to the Option key on Mac OS X/11+ and to the Alt key on Windows and X11. In these Tk versions, left/right tilting the scroll wheel of a mouse having one or two additional (thumb) buttons gives rise to <Shift-MouseWheel> (and <Shift-Option-MouseWheel>) events on all windowing systems.

In addition, in Tk 8.7a5 and later a mouse wheel tick now scrolls a listbox, ttk::treeview, tablelist, etc. by 3 units, on all windowing systems. Together with the key corresponding to the Option modifier, it scrolls by 10 units.
