WHAT'S NEW SINCE TIX 4.1A3 (THE LAST RELEASE)
|
| 49 |
|
|
|
| 50 |
|
|
7/14/96
|
| 51 |
|
|
|
| 52 |
|
|
New feature: Supports ET+TK4.1. --enable-tk41_et flag for configure
|
| 53 |
|
|
script.
|
| 54 |
|
|
|
| 55 |
|
|
New feature: Supports ITCL 2.1. --enable-itcl21 flag for configure
|
| 56 |
|
|
script.
|
| 57 |
|
|
|
| 58 |
|
|
New feature: Default color schemes and fontset can be set when Tix is
|
| 59 |
|
|
compiled: --with-fontset= and --with-scheme= flags for configure
|
| 60 |
|
|
script.
|
| 61 |
|
|
|
| 62 |
|
|
Incompatibility: All the "::" qualifiers in Tix class methods have
|
| 63 |
|
|
been replaced by ":", so that the Tix classes can be loaded into Itcl
|
| 64 |
|
|
without patching Itcl. If you have written your own Tix classes, you
|
| 65 |
|
|
need to modify the source files to use the ":" qualifier instead.
|
| 66 |
|
|
|
| 67 |
|
|
The program tools/setcolon.sh helps you port your code from the "::"
|
| 68 |
|
|
convention to the ":" convention. Execute the program without argument
|
| 69 |
|
|
for usage syntax. It may modify your code in unexpected ways. Use with
|
| 70 |
|
|
caution.
