Announcing Visual Tcl 1.5.1 Beta 3
Visual Tcl is moving into the final stages of beta as we close in on all the bug
fixes and enhancements for version 1.5.1. Beta 3 will be our Release Candidate 1 and
most likely the last beta release before final release.
This release focuses mainly on bug fixes and a few cosmetic enhancements along
with added Itcl, BLT and Tix support, as well as greater support for Macintosh,
allowing rapid cross-platform application development with minimal turn-around time.
Furthermore, we are excited to announce the integration of Jeffrey Hobbs' TkCon into
Visual Tcl. TkCon offers a consistent, powerful alternative to the standard Tk
console. TkCon provides command and window names expansion, electric brace
highlighting, support fo
r several interpreters and command history.
We're looking for more beta testers and more users in general to give this beta
some rigorous testing before final release. We are very eager to make this the most
stable and enhanced release of Visual Tcl to date. Version 1.5 has immense progress
over earlier versions and has added many new features and functions that make it more
like traditional GUI builders.
If you haven't looked at Visual Tcl in a while, give it another look. You'll find
that it's a very different program now. We'd love to hear more suggestions on
enhancements you would like to see as we are already planning our roadmap for the next
version.
