Tcl Dev Kit 5.0 was released October 2008. See the blog post [L1 ] for details on 5.0 features. 5.0 added TclApp cross-platform wrapping, multi-architecture starkits, improved TDK Checker syntax analysis, and support for Tcl 8.6.
Bugs in TDK should be reported to ActiveState's bug database [L2 ] for tracking.
(This is the 5.0 press release).
ActiveState today released Tcl Dev Kit 5.0. With both new features and performance improvements, Tcl Dev Kit (TDK) 5.0 represents a significant upgrade to the essential toolkit for Tcl/Tk programmers.
In TDK 5.0, TclApp --- for building self-contained, installation-free executables for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX --- has been significantly enhanced to improve cross-platform wrapping. And TDK 5.0 users can now create multi-architecture starkits.
In addition, TDK Checker, the static Tcl syntax analyzer, has been improved to give users more control over syntax checking options and output, as well as recommend corrected code for common coding mistakes. Today's release also includes support for Tcl 8.6, which is expected to be final in November.
"This latest TDK raises the bar for Tcl development tools with a new level of ease of use for deployment and smarter and more flexible analysis of Tcl applications," says Jeff Hobbs, Senior Tcl Developer and Director of the Languages Business Division at ActiveState.

Debugging AOLserver with Tcl Dev Kit
Note that as of Tcl Dev Kit (TDK) 3.2, ActiveTcl is no longer included in the product; given that it is a free download, TDK now just works with which ever ActiveTcl it can find. A specific capability of both TDK and Komodo is that they can, in general, debug a Tcl program working with a different version of Tcl than they themselves require.
This [L12 ] review largely repeats information already available here.
RLH 2011-08-16 -- This whole page could be cleaned up to be more generically about the TDK and not a release announcement etc. kind of page. More informational. I have a redo saved on my Mac.
