Visual Tcl 1.06b
January 1, 1997
Announcing the sixth beta release of Visual Tcl, a freely-available, high-
quality application development environment for UNIX, Windows and Macintosh
platforms. Visual Tcl is written entirely in Tcl/Tk and covered by the GNU
General Public License.
The only major new functionality in this release is the menu editor. The
rest consists of code cleanup and bug fixes. Due to the holidays and an
inopportune run-in with the flu, I did not get a chance to introduce as
much of the widget abstraction code as I had hoped. Some changes didn't
make it into the change-log so if you had problems with 1.05, check out
this release and let me know how you make out.
Changes since 1.05b:
1.05 -> 1.06 (January 1, 1997)
o Fixed Attribute Editor "command" button error and double "init" error
thanks to Frank Scholz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
o Fixed bug when running without attribute editor
o Added widget binding <Control-Button-1> for moving without re-selecting.
This is the same as <Button-2> on unix for folks without three
buttons. It's primary use is moving compounds whose parent container
are mostly obscured.
o Many changes inspired by a patch from Robin Becker
Closing unsaved application now has: "Yes No Cancel"
Widget bindings for those without a middle button
Enabled dormant code for direct manipulation of toplevel geometry
o Added ability to edit multiple commands simultaneously
o Fixed widget geometry size bug introduced in 1.04
o Completely rewrote menu editor and moved into lib_core
o Renamed procedures from vTcl:: to vTcl: since it broke [incr tcl]
o Fixed "cut" bug with widget trees and menus
