-ENHANCED TK CONSOLE changes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Changes file begun Tue May 7 19:09:51 PDT 1996
-Newest changes at top of file. Release dates between '----'s.
-Changes for a particular version are BELOW the release date line.
-
-Attribution for code is specified after change, a preceding slash
-indicates an idea/bug report attribution fixed by myself. Where
-no attribution is made, assume (Hobbs).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-THIS FILE IS NO LONGER PERTINENT.
-
-All changes are now recorded in the ChangeLog.
-
----- March 31 1999 v1.6 ----
-
-Changed tkConInsert to not use catch (avoids any error generation).
-
-Changed if check on auto_load in tcl_unknown to an llength on the
-args (from [info tclversion]) as 8.0p0 also used just one arg.
-
-Added -exec command line arg, so that users could do the -exec ""
-trick (causes tkcon to skip multi-interpreter model) and makes it
-easier to drop tkcon as a console on extended wish executables.
-
-Changed handling of fixed font for all tkcon text widgets, adding
-new -font option, TKCON(font) var, and redoing 'tkcon font'.
-
-Added color,(disabled|cursor|bg) variables as per Becker's
-recommendations, allowing for old defaults.
-
-Changed multiple instances of string comparisons with llength,
-where appropriate.
-
-Changed dump proc to not try and auto_load a proc arg and improved
-recognition of procs in namespaces.
-
-Added new 'what' proc to environment that tells you what a string
-is recognized as. Now used in various other procs.
-
-Improved hot errors to not pop up edit dialog when the mouse moved.
-
----- March 5 1999 v1.5 ----
-
-Expanded tkConSave to support use in 'edit'.
-
-Added tkConGarbageCollect proc for periodic cleanup tasks
-(currently, cleaning up error tags in the console widget),
-with new gc-delay TKCON var.
-
-Revised error handling (errors are now hot in the console).
-
-Changed tkConExpandPathname to recognise that NT for 8.1+ is
-case-sensitive, and to not change case for other Windows configs
-when no further expansion was made.
-
-Made changes to tkConEvalOther and the aliasing of tkConEvalAttached
-for "Main" for more accurate evaluation.
-
-Changed the conditional 'update' in tkcon_puts (that overrides the
-core puts) to 'update idletasks'. This prevents problems with
-using puts in fileevent triggers and such.
-
-Added check to prevent lower-casing during pathname expansion when
-no further expansion can be made on a string.
-
-New auto-buffer (default 512 lines, set in TKCON(buffer)) for the
-console widget. Set this ridiculously high if you liked the
-text widget holding all that data. New tkcon buffer method to
-go with it.
-
-Rewrote edit command. Previous version was mostly bogus when used
-outside the original slave.
-
-Change tkcon error to use updated 'edit' command.
-
-Massaged tkConEvalOther & tkConInterpEval.
-
-Fixed problem with Show Last Error where a TkCon generated error
-was always appearing (from Package Submenu) and moved it above
-the packages submenu.
-
-Removed auto_execok from the slaveprocs list.
-
-Removed slaveappalias as it didn't work correctly. Made 'edit'
-a slavealias, with tkConAttach used to determine where it was
-called from
-
-Changed some regexps around to pass tclCheck's mistaken warnings
-(tclCheck's bad matching, not bad regexps).
-
-Changed dump to not try widgets before commands, as otherwise
-it won't automatically complain.
-
-Fixed pathname completion to only beep when trying to expand on a
-non-existent subdirectory (instead of throwing no-directory error).
-
-Fixed a few notes that TclPro's checker picked up (only one actual
-bug in the all switch of 'edit', otherwise it was mostly blowing
-wind...). (lvirden)
-
----- February 17 1999 v1.4 ----
-
-Changed "changes" file to "changes.txt".
-
-Added edit/more/less proc that allows for the viewing/editing
-and returning back to the slave of vars/procs or files.
-
-Modified history to not got below 0.
-
-lremove extended with -pattern arg.
-
-Added code in tcl_unknown to ask about loading Tk when someone tries
-a Tk command without Tk being loaded.
-
-Had to change regexps because \E in Tcl8.1a2 was removed in 8.1b1 (arg!).
-
-Added "Make Xauth Secure" button for Unix. (heiko.federhenn@stest.ch)
-
-Fixed tkConInitInterp (used by "Send TkCon Commands") to reattach to
-the named namespace when appropriate.
-
-Fixed bug in popup-menu for Tk8 (bound to wrong toplevel).
-
-Fixed bug in tcl_unknown confusing auto_load between 8.0 and 7.x.
-
-Made Interp->Package menu more dynamic, so it recognizes changes in
-auto_path and updates itself when Interp is torn-off.
-
-Removed list from $new in exec redirect for tcl_unknown. (found by Imai)
-
-Changed package menu to handle multiple package versions.
-
-Added bogus package require statement to master and slaves to ensure
-that pkgIndex.tcl files were properly loaded into interps.
-
-If "Main" is passed to tkConAttachNamespace, it is interpreted as "::".
-
-Changed "Attach Namespace" menu to provide a listbox popup when
-more than $TKCON(maxmenu) namespaces are present.
-
----- June 1998 v1.3 ----
-
-fixed long-standing expr bug (missing '$') in tkConSafeBind - found
-by TclPro!
-
-took out the use of tkcon_gets because it only worked for global vars.
-
----- March 1998 v1.2 unreleased ----
-
-updated regexps in some places to support 8.1 regexps.
-
-dump now outputs only non-default options for widgets. (ridgway)
-
-Sorted output list for multiple tab matched items.
-
-Several minor changes for the plugin (user should see no difference).
-
-Known problems with dump command understanding namespaces have been
-fixed, but only for the 8.0 only version.
-
-Changed tkConTagProc to recognize ';' as not part of a proc name.
-
-Changed tkConNew to reuse slave numbers.
-
-Fixed problem with TKCON(exec) == {} (needed uplevel #0 instead of eval).
-
-On Mac, tries to source itself using -rsrc (8.0). (nijtmans)
-
-Changed to use 8.0 menu scheme if possible. (nijtmans)
-
-Changed tkConInitSlave and tkConNew to only set argv0 in new slave if it
-exists (it won't in the plugin). (demailly)
-
-Changed tkConInit to only checkpoint state once if the slave interp
-and main interp are the same (TKCON(exec) == {}).
-
----- 08 October 1997 v1.1 ----
-
-For Tk8, made TkCon use a fixed font {Courier, size 10} if the current
-font is not of fixed type.
-
-Startup errors should now be found in the TkCon last error function.
-
-Changed the Triple-1 binding to not include last newline.
-
-Added fix to make sure that double-evaluation of the command line
-didn't occur (might occur for commands that used vwait or something).
-
-TKCON(errorInfo) is now set with all the errors that occur during start-up,
-so that you don't lose stack trace information.
-
----- July 03 1997 v1.03 ----
-
-Updated namespace eval stuff for Tk8.0b2.
-
-rewrote tkConSepCmd.
-
-ls is now "dir -full" by default.
-
-changed the puts renaming from tcl_puts to tkcon_tcl_puts (so that it
-specifies what renamed it).
-
-added variable highlighting to command highlighting as a background (so
-that a command and var can be seen for the same word).
-
-increased default history size to 48.
-
-Fixed problem where aliased exit couldn't take extra args.
-
-replaced old [tkcon gets] with a new UI version to be used with the new
-tkcon_gets that, like tkcon_puts, replaces the Tcl gets with a version that
-doesn't rely on stdin being present. [tkcon gets] now accepts no args.
- **** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ****
-
----- June 10 1997 v1.02 ----
-
-Changed calculator mode commands to be put in the history (but the
-output still looks like an error).
-
-Fixed bug where "source" was assumed to work for primary interp,
-causing failure to load in Tk plugin.
-
-Fixed problem with the id'ing of the primary TkCon interpreter that would
-affect attaching to like named interps.

-added slaveexit variable to allow for exit in slaves to be non-destructive,
-which is the new default.
-
-enhanced Tab binding, made Escape the default pathname-only expansion.
-
-enhanced dump and which commands.
-
-Removed auto_execok redefinition for Tcl7.5-. TkCon is now intended to
-only run in Tcl7.6+ interpreters (though attaching to 7.5- is still OK).
-
-Added Load/Save menus and expanded Save functionality.
-
----- June 1 1997 v1.00 ----
-
-TkCon now use virtual events for bindings (REQUIRES TK4.2+) and changed
-Console to TkConsole (to not conflict with new Console megawidget).
-
-Updated tcl_unknown to match Tcl8's unknown.
-
-Changed handling of preferences directory for macintosh.
- **** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ****
-
-Changed tkCon global var to TKCON.
- **** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ****
-
-Changed colors to use absolute #RRGGBB format for color-name disadvantaged
-systems.
-
-Removed use of tkCon(font) variable.
- **** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ****
-
-Fixed procname expansion to work on/in namespaces.
-
-Fixed pathname expansion to expand on a directory.

-
-Added option for automagically ignoring dead interpreter problems. (wart)
-
-Fixed bug for reattaching to default slave via menu. (wart)
-

-
-Modified 'idebug' internals.
-
-Made 'idebug' create its own tkCon(exec) slave for maintaining history.
-

-
-Added 'idebug puts' and 'idebug echo' methods.
-
-Fixed 'idebug break' to not work at level 0.
-
-Removed line that could improperly set $name and placed a 'catch'
-around the 'interp alias' for 'ls' in tkConInitInterp.
-
-tkConInit(Slave|Interp) now just 'catch'es the renaming of puts.
-
-Added 'tkcon set' and 'tkcon upvar' methods. (nijtmans)
-
----- September 17th 1996 v0.61 ----

-
----- September 15th 1996 v0.60 ----
-
-Added 'tkcon find str' method and find box to TkCon.
-
-Added 'observe{_var}' command for simple tracing of vars/cmds with

-
-Added bgerror to slaves and 'tkcon bgerror' method. (nijtmans)
-
-Added tcl_unknown along with other minor mods to get TkCon to work better
-with IncrTcl. (nijtmans)
-
-Made <Triple-1> binding not include the prompt.
-
-Add null Console bindings for the tkCon(root) bindings to avoid them
-getting generated spuriously. (Hobbs / Wart)
-
-Added -argv/-- command line option. This has very limited use, but is very
-good for wrapping TkCon around an existing application which has it's own
-command line args. It resets $argv in the main interpreter to what remains
-on the command line and TkCon ignores argv. This carries over to any "New
-Consoles".
-
-Reintroduced state procedures, placed them in Interp menu. These should
-only be used if you really understand what they do.
-
-Added 'dump command' method. Usefulness over 'dump proc' is minimal.
-
-Tightened up the command line args, dropped several optional switches.
-
-Placed all the Console bindings into tkConBindings, which is called
-in tkConInitUI.
-
-Added 'tkConInitInterp' which places the tkCon shell commands (already
-available in any tkCon slave) in the interpreter. It also rewires
-puts to send the result back to tkCon.
-
-Fixed dead attachment problem where attaching to another interp after
-being connected to a dead interp would munge the new interp's name. (H / Wart)
-
-Added 'tkConEvalOther' which evals in the named interpreter.
-
-Removed 'tkConCheckPackages'. Package handling is now separated into the
-autoloading part in tkConInit and into tkConInterpMenu which determines
-available static libraries and packages for an interpreter. Menus redesigned.
-
-Changed 'tkcon eval' to 'tkcon master' since eval gave the wrong connotation.
-
-Made '-nontcl' option take a TCL_BOOLEAN argument.
-
-Made 'which' return unknown commands as an error.
-
-Added button into the help window to send the help URL to netscape.
-
-Made history substitution spit out a correctly translated command if
-evaluation doesn't return an error.
-
-Changed history search to use the same event id as regular command line
-history.
-
-Added tkCon(meta) variable which varies the Meta definition based on the
-platform (Unix == Meta; Win == Alt; Mac == Command)
-
-Added 'dump widget' method. Spits out current widget state as returned
-by '.widget configure'.
-
-Changed 'dump proc' and 'which' to try and auto_load an unknown procedure.
-
-Added 'tkcon history' command to return a source'able history stack.
-
-Fixed off-by-one error in tkConExpand (caused expansion to not work unless
-you were expanding the last thing on the line and also not if a special
-char was the first on the line).
-
-Fixed TkCon package handling to work properly for IncrTcl. (nijtmans)
-
----- July 31 1996 v0.52 ----
-
-Reversed changes file to have newest at top.
-
-Added 'tkcon version' command.
-
-Fixed scoping problem when attaching to the master interpreter of a
-particular console.
-
-Rewrote the expansion routines to handle spaces in names better (no longer
-requires the user to use grouping as it puts in '\ ' for spaces).
-
-Fixed off-by-one bug in tkConExpandBestMatch(2).
-
-Rewired attachments so that when 'send' is used to attach to an app and an
-error occurs, TkCon determines whether the app still exists to prevent
-multiple errors from arising due to a dead attachment. If this occurs, it
-prompts the user on whether to return to the primary slave or to check
-periodically for the attached interpreter to come back. tkConEvalSend was
-added to facilitate this.
-
-Command highlighting is now only attempted when a non-empty character is
-inserted into the command line (%A != {}).
-
-Added Ctrl-2 accelerator to get attach to master interpreter of a console
-and Ctrl-3 to get to attach to the Main interpreter.
-
-Made the attachment to Main set the tkCon(app) to Main (to get around the
-menu -value {} bug) and also set tkConEvalAttached alias to 'tkConMain eval'.
-
-Rewrote tkConPrompt to accept "pre" and "post" args to place before and
-after the prompt is printed. pre is tagged stdout, post is tagged stdin.
-
-Rewrote 'dump var' to recognize nested arrays, but not output them
-(it's too complicated to do that in source'able form), as well as
-recognize empty arrays.
-
-Rewrote tkConEvalCmd to keep track of errorInfo when errors occur.
-
-Added 'tkcon error' to display the last errorInfo.
-
-Changed dumpproc and dumpvar to dump (proc|var) ...
-
-Added -root argument to set the tkCon(root) variable explicitly.
-
-Changed the -(slave)eval args to append to rather than set their vars
-so that they can be specified multiple times on the command line.
-
-Added a limit argument to tkConMatch{Quote,Pair}.
-
-Rewrote dumpvar to recognize a single array value name (ie: a(b)).
-
-Renamed default non-Unix resource filename from from tkcon.bat to tkcon.cfg.
-
-No longer 'catch' the renaming of puts in a slave, because we'd want to
-know if that threw an error, although it never should...
-
----- July 14 1996 v0.51 ----
-
-Removed tkConUsage since it was never called.
-
-Changed tkCon(Load|Save) to use tkFileSelect, if it exists.
-
-Added -load and -pkg equivalents for -package.
-
-Added Ctrl-Key-1 binding to reattach to primary slave.
-
-TkCon now will create itself in a different toplevel if there are already
-children of . when tkConInit is called.
-
-Changed tkConInitSlave not to overwrite tcl_puts in a slave if it exists.
-
-Created tkCon(slaveprocs) to identify what procs get dumped into a
-slave each time and tkCon(slavealias) to identify what will be
-aliased back into the main interpreter.
-
----- July 4 1996 v0.50 ----
-
-Number of history events to keep now set by tkCon(history).
-
-'unknown' reworked (yet again) to properly handle itself in either the slave
-or another interpreter. History substition was moved into tkConEvalCmd and
-made an option (via tkCon(subhistory)).
-
-Inlined _dir into dir/ls. It doesn't save any cycles, but it removes
-the need to manage _dir.
-
-Fixed 'dir/ls -f' to denote executable files with a *.
-
-Fixed dir/ls to not die on 'dir -f <pattern>'. (Thanks to steven@indra.com)
-
-Changed tkConExpand to stop at $ as well.
-
-Changed tkConTagProc binding from Console <KeyRelease> to PostCon <KeyPress>.
-It seems to miss a lot less now.
-
----- July 3 1996 v0.49 ----
-
-Slight mod to <BackSpace>.
-
-Fixed <Delete> binding to not allow deletions of pre-Prompt text when a
-selection is made.
-
-Fixed tkConEvalCmd to properly send commands to foreign interpreters even
-if $tkCon(nontcl) was set.
-
-Made tkConEvalAttached be some type of alias at all times.
-
-Changed 'slavescript' to 'slaveeval' and added an 'eval' option.
-
----- June 25 1996 v0.48 ----
-
-Fixed 'alias' problem with multiple args.
-
-Updated binding system to automatically set Console bindings to equivalent
-Text bindings, then redefine what we want.
-
-Updated tkConTagProc to eval in attached slaves. This can make it
-really slow when attached to foreign interpreters.
-
----- June 25 1996 v0.47 ----
-
-Fixed tkConExpandBest* to be more accurate ([string first] is only valid
-for us when it returns 0).
-
-Updated tkConExpandPathname to work better for attached interpreters.
-
-Renamed tkExpand* to tkConExpand* (they'd become too TkCon oriented).
-
-Changed tkConEvalCmd to 'list' instead of 'concat' command for attached
-interpreters, and to ignore the whole thing if [string match {} $cmd].
-
-Removed many bindings that were exactly duplicated by "Text" binding.
-
-Added tkCon(blinktime) option to allow user to specify blink duration.
-Value must be at least 100 (millisecs).
-
-Removed tkConUpDownLine. It never varied from tkTextUpDownLine.
-
-Improved package loading to handle bad pkgIndex.tcl entries.
-
----- June 21 1996 v0.46 ----
-
-Improved package loading to be correct.
-
-Made 'dir' more Mac/Windows friendly (I hope).
-
----- June 21 1996 v0.45 (skipped v0.44) ----
-
-Added "Non-Tcl Attachments" preference to disallow sends to interpreters
-which may not understand Tcl (ie - SchemeTk, PerlTk).
-
-Rewrote tkConCheckPackages to allow calling it without a widget reference.
-
-Updated tkConEvalCmd.
-
-Added tkConEvalAttached to evaluate more things in the right place.
-
-Rewrote tkConAttach to allow for attaching directly to slave interpreters
-(no send required). "Attach Console" menu now lists all slave interpreters
-by slave path (with Tk interp name in ()s), separate from foreign interps.
-
-Add tkConInitSlave to create a TkCon slave.
-
-Renamed tkExpand* to tclExpand*.
-
-Updated 'dir' for better output.
-
-Added command line argument support, rearranged tkConInit to support it.
-
----- June 18 1996 v0.43 ----
-
-Fixed 'unknown' to work in both slave and master interpreter.
-
-Modified 'dir' to be dumpproc'ed into slave.
-
-Rewrote 'clear' to be dumpproc'ed as well.
-
-Fixed 'puts' bug for slaves.
-
----- June 17 1996 v0.42 ----
-
-Added extra loop to tkConCheckPackages to account for packages that may
-auto-load Tk itself (like Tix or Tksteal).
-
----- June 15 1996 v0.41 ----
-
-Added 'warn' as an alias back into the main interpreter.
-
-Fixed documentation leftovers (and updated upgrade.html) to include the
-move of the 'main' and 'slave' commands into 'tkcon'.

-
----- June 14 1996 v0.40 Released ----
-
-OK, I need to add some MAJOR changes here...
-

-
----- June 11 1996 v0.37 ----
-
-Improved 'tkConResource' to get the right script name on all platforms
-under all manner of circumstances
-
-Improved sourcing of tkCon resource file to not throw bogus errors
-
----- Jun 10 1996 v0.36 ----
-
-Fixed <Control-n> bug (incr $tkCon(event) --> incr tkCon(event))
-
