Announcing XOTcl 1.1.1 ********************** WHAT IS XOTCL? XOTcl is an object-oriented extension of Tcl that was derived from OTcl. In short, XOTcl tries to provide a highly flexible, reflective, component-based, and object-oriented environment. It integrates language support for high level concepts which are not found in other languages, with reasonable performance. It prevails the Tcl programming style and the dynamic/introspective nature of the language, rather than introducing other language's styles and rigidness (such as C++) into Tcl. CHANGES relative to 1.1.0 are: - Improved portability * for macOS (many thanks to Daniel Steffen) * FreeBSD 4.9 (many thanks to Marc Spitzer) - configure can run outside of xotcl-tree and can install to a different directory. Example: % mkdir -p /tmp/xotcl/unix % cd /tmp/xotcl/unix % ~/xotcl-1.1.1/unix/configure --with-all % make % make test % make install DESTDIR=/tmp - several fixes and improvements such as * added option --with-tkinclude for configure (only needed, when built with optional --with-xowish) * made gdbm work when compiled with threads enabled * fix for initialization of stubtables in gdbm * fixes for HTTP support (return format of values in HTTP OPTION command made windows explorer hang) * easy provision for redirects in HTTP server For more details, please consult the ChangeLog MORE INFO General and more detailed information about XOTcl and its components can be found at http://www.xotcl.org Best regards, Gustaf Neumann Uwe Zdun
