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?

The work is being done in the tls-1.8 branch. If you don't want to mess
with fossil, you can download a snapshot from

https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcltls/download?r=tls-1.8

Note that it needs a version of OpenSSL newer than 1.X
