- namespace changes: mostly due to marketing reasons, the naming of the top-level namespace changed from "xotcl2" to "next". reasons: xotcl is hard to pronounce for beginners, sounds like "exotic" (but who wants to program in an exotic language) has a certain stigma of strange namings (e.g. "instproc"), is seen as a precursor of tcloo, the top-level namespace ::xotcl2:: is not very nice either, the separation of framework and language is not clear.

We have now:

::next (the new object system, former ::xotcl2)

::next::core (framework, primitives)

::xotcl (former xotcl1)

- "::xotcl::use" no longer needed, use Tcl standard mechanisms instead

(e.g. "package req next"; "package req XOTcl", "namespace import ::next*")

  1. … 48 more files in changeset.
- get rid of misleading RCS: lines - passing --prefix to subdirs - regenerated configure files

  1. … 21 more files in changeset.
- move pre85 stack specific code into xotclStack.c

  1. … 5 more files in changeset.
- further cleanup using "CONST char *"

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- use "CONST char *" in generated interface and below

  1. … 5 more files in changeset.
- removed XOTclCreateClass() and XOTclDeleteClass(); both are identical with XOTclCreateObject() and XOTclDeleteObject()

  1. … 3 more files in changeset.
- made error messages for failed conversions more consistent (note that tcl does not provide the parameter name in the error message, but user-defined converters do)

  1. … 13 more files in changeset.
- xotcl.c: removed all names starting with "inst" (exception: instvar)

  1. … 7 more files in changeset.
- removed XOTclInstVar from the C-level API. todo: add all xotcl*cmds to C api, including importvar

  1. … 4 more files in changeset.
- renamed methodType "compiled" to "system" (for system/builtin methods); - saving and maintaining alias command in associative Tcl array ::xotcl::alias - returning aliases to procs and methods via "info methods -defined -methodType alias" (other aliases are still missing, but should be straigth forward with data in associative array)

  1. … 8 more files in changeset.
- changed interface of ::xotcl::methodproperty to be used as well for introspection

- added ::xotcl::methodproperty ... static

We have now

* call-protection via methodproperty "protected"

* overwrite-protection via methodproperty "static"

Static methods can be deleted, but not overwritten (accidentially)

- added flag "-protected" to "method" for call-protected methods

- added checks for overwrite-protection to tcl implemented methods.

aliases, forwarder, and parametercmds

- removed "classscopedinstproc" (use "method -inner-namespace" instead)

- removed C-implemented unknown handler for ::xotcl::Class

and replaced by a Tcl-implemented one (should move into

compatibility library)

- removed XOTclAddPMethod() (use XOTclAddObjectMethod instead)

- removed XOTclAddIMethod() (use XOTclAddInstanceMethod instead)

- generalized MakeObjectMethod() and MakeClassMethod() into MakeProc()

- removed compile-flag NAMESPACEINSTPROCS and AUTOVARS

- removed defines for isClassString, isDoubleDashString, isAllocString,

isDeallocString, isDestroyString

  1. … 10 more files in changeset.
- generated interfaces for XOTclIsCmd() and XOTclQualifyObjCmd() - simplified PrimitiveODestroy() - eliminated XOTcl_TraceObjCmd()

  1. … 7 more files in changeset.
- generated interface for ::xotcl::deprecated

  1. … 6 more files in changeset.
- !!! removed obsolete features * ability to specify nonpos args and pos args as different arguments * compile flags AUTOVARS, REFCOUNTED, REFCOUNT_TRACE - added -flags with one argument + type - generated all class methods from interface descriptions

- transtional version, not all test of regression test work correctly
