I have encountered a problem with the above extension under tcl9.0.0
 After downloading https://www.tcl3d.org/bawt/download/Preview/Tcl9/tcltls-1.7.23.7z, as advertised on the "Porting extensions to Tcl 9" page on the wiki, configuring using the line
 ./configure --prefix=/opt/tcl9.0.0 --with-tcl=/opt/tcl9.0.0/lib
 building and installing, I cannot load the extension:
      % package require tls
     version conflict for package "tcl": have 9.0.0, need 8.4
 The same error also occurs if I do
      % load /opt/tcl9.0.0/lib/tcltls1.7.23/tcltls.so Tls
 so I assume a problem in the .so file. I've had a quick look through the sources, but I have no confidence that I can find the appropriate change.
 Please can someone help?

Maybe I should have more confidence...
I changed line 1809 of tls.c from
     Tcl_InitStubs(interp, "Tcl", "8.4", 0)
to
     Tcl_InitStubs(interp, "Tcl", "8.4", 0) || Tcl_InitStubs(interp, "Tcl", "9", 0)
and the package now loads ok. Once I've ploughed through several more porting issues in my own code, I'll have an idea of whether the modified tls works.
