 There is no currently scheduled next release, although it is being
 actively worked on.  8.3.3 is the next release on the horizon
 (the most stable fixes from 8.4a2CVS backported).

 You can follow the sources on SourceForge.  You can get a snapshot
 of the current CVS at

Anyone want to update the Wiki with info on differences between 8.3.2 and 8.3.3 ? See Changes in Tcl/Tk 8.3.3 for some of the features of Tcl 8.3.3.
