Tcl/Tk 8.6.13 with many bugfixes was released a week ago. I think it's worth trying it out in the next Python 3.12 alphas and betas.

I've pushed builds of 8.6.13 to our deps repositories, so anyone can update the references now.

It seems we have to bring a copy of zlib as a DLL now, so the installers will need an update. I'm also a little bit concerned about it interfering with other modules, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to statically link it anymore, so I guess we'll just have to deal with any fallout if it breaks stuff.
