Changes that aren't backward compatible -are marked specially. - -3/16/91 (bug fix) Modified tkWindow.c to remove Tk's Tcl commands from -the interpreter when the main window is deleted (otherwise there will -be dangling pointers to the non-existent window). - -3/16/91 (bug fix) Modified tkColor.c not to free black or white colors: -some X servers get upset at this. - -3/18/91 (bug fix) Modified tkShare.c to fix bug causing "DeleteGroup -couldn't find group on shareList" panic. - -3/18/91 (bug fix) Several changes to tkListbox.c and tkScrollbar.c to -handle listboxes (and scrollbars) with zero total entries in them. - -3/22/91 (bug fix) Fixed a few ='s in tkListbox.c that should be ==. - -3/22/91 (bug fix) Fixed error in main.c that caused BadWindow errors -in some cases where wish scripts invoke "destroy .". - -3/23/91 (new feature) Added Tk_CancelIdleCall to remove Tk_DoWhenIdle -handler. - -3/23/91 (bug fix and new feature) Added -name option to main.c, made -it more clever about choosing name (was always using the name "wish" -on most Unix systems). - -3/23/91 (new feature) Added TK_CONFIG_STRING option to Tk_ConfigureWidget, -used it to malloc strings for various widget options that used to be -Tk_Uid's (e.g. button text, message strings, etc.). Eliminates core -leaks when values change in continuous non-repeating fashion. - -3/29/91 (new feature) Added Tk_Preserve, Tk_Release, and -Tk_EventuallyFree procedures to help manage widget records and avoid -premature memory free-ing. - -4/4/91 (bug fix) Fixed problem in tkWm.c where top-level window geometry -wasn't tracking correctly when wm-induced size change also changed window -position (e.g. menus wouldn't be displayed at the right places). - -4/5/91 (new feature) Added "invoke" option to widget command for buttons, -check buttons, and radio buttons. - -4/5/91 (new feature) Added "unpack" option to "pack" command. - -4/5/91 (bug fix) Changed tkPack.c to use new Tk_Preserve code and be -more careful about window deletions that occur while repacking is in -progress. - -4/6/91 (bug fix) Major overhaul of deletion code in all widgets to use -Tk_Preserve and Tk_Release. Should fix many problems. - -4/6/91 (bug fix) Changed "winfo children" to generate correct lists -when child names have embedded spaces. - -4/6/91 (new feature) Added "screenheight" and "screenwidth" options to -"winfo". - -4/18/91 (bug fix) Binding mechanism didn't correctly handle very long -%-substitutions in commands (e.g. long path names) and caused memory -to be overwritten. Modified tkBind.c to fix. - ----------------------- Release 1.1, 4/18/91 ------------------------- - -4/19/91 (bug fix) Inconsistent ICCCM handling of coordinates of reparented -windows causes windows to gradually walk south when moved or resized. -Fixed tkWm.c to patch around the problem. - ----------------------- Release 1.2, 4/24/91 ------------------------- - -4/26/91 (new feature) Added -geometry and -display switches to wish. -Also wrote wish manual entry. - -5/3/91 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkListbox.c that caused garbage to appear -at right edge of window when strings were to large to fit in window. - -5/3/91 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkListbox.c where topIndex wasn't getting -updated when elements were deleted: tended to cause errors in -communication with scrollbars. - -5/16/91 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tk3d.c, which caused core dumps when -consecutive points in a polygon were the same (happened with some -configurations of radio buttons, for example). - -5/16/91 (bug fix) Fixed main.c to allow stdin to be redirected. - -6/1/91 (bug fix) Make sure that pointers are never used after being -freed. - -6/15/91 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkBind.c that caused current binding -values to not always be printed correctly. - -6/15/91 (bug fix) Make sure that interpreters are always unregistered -when their main windows are deleted, and make wish delete the main -window before exiting. - -8/21/91 (misfeature correction) Automatically set source of window -position to "user" in "wm geometry" command, unless it has been -explicitly set to "program". - -9/5/91 (bug fix) Modified option code to accept '#' as a comment -character in .Xdefaults files, in addition to '!'. - -9/10/91 (misfeature correction) Changed binding mechanism so that -numeric %-sequences are output in decimal instead of hex. - -9/19/91 (bug fix) Fixed bug in Tk_DoOneEvent(1) where it wasn't -checking files and X connections properly so it missed events. - -10/6/91 (new feature) Reorganized tkBind.c to provide generic "binding -table" structure, which can be used to create bindings on items in -canvases as well as windows. - -10/6/91 (new feature) Upgraded buttons and menus to use new tracing -code in Tcl 6.0. Allows radio buttons and check buttons to both set -and clear themselves when associated variable changes. - -10/17/91 (bug fix) Fixed 2 bugs in listboxes: accidentally advanced the -selection when new entries were inserted in the listbox after the location -of the selected item(s), and goofed up on redisplay if selected item -was deleted and then selection was immediately lost. - -10/27/91 (bug fix) "pack unpack" wasn't telling Tk that it no longer -manages window; this led to core dumps in some situations. - -10/31/91 (reorganization) Renamed manual entries so that they are no -more than 14 characters in length. - -10/31/91 (reorganization) Changed tk.h and tkInt.h so that tkInt.h -doesn't needed to be included by tk.h. - -11/3/91 (portability improvement) Eliminated use of "class" as a variable -name, since it's a reserved word in C++. - -11/7/91 (reorganization) Many changes to upgrade for Tcl 6.1 including -use of Tcl hash tables instead of separate "Hash_" module. The "lib" -subdirectory is no longer needed in Tk. - ----------------------- Release 1.3, 11/7/91 ------------------------- - -11/24/91 (bug fix) Fixed bug causing occasional errors if existing bindings -are modified (FindSequence in tkBind.c forget to set *maskPtr). - -11/24/91 (bug fix) Used wrong hash table in Tk_GetColorByValue. Could -cause new entries to get created unnecessarily. - -12/2/91 (bug fix) Changed "bind" code to put backslashes in front of -special characters (e.g. [ or \) that appear in %-replacements, so that -they can be parsed cleanly. - -12/10/91 (bug fix) Manual entries had first lines that caused "man" program -to try weird preprocessor. Added blank comment lines to fix problem. - -1/2/92 (documentation cleanup) Changed manual entries for Tk_GetBitmap -and the like to make it more clear that the argument must be a Tk_Uid -and not a string. - -1/2/92 (bug fix) Fixed problem where scrollbars that were very short or -very narrow (too small to hold both arrows) could cause negative values -in calls to XClearArea, which crashed some servers. - -1/2/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in TkMeasureChars occurring when maxChars -is 0. Occasionally affected things like message window geometry. - -1/3/92 (new feature) Added procedures Tk_GetJustify, Tk_GetAnchor, -Tk_GetCapStyle, and Tk_GetJoinStyle, plus support for these things -in Tk_ConfigureWidget. - ----------------------- Release 1.4, 1/10/92 ------------------------- - -1/12/92 (bug fix) TkMenubutton.c wasn't cleaning up mbPtr->varName -properly during menubutton cleanup if an error occurred during -menubutton creation. - -1/19/92 (bug fix) Fixed off-by-one bug in tkListbox.c that caused -scrollbars to display a slider that was too large. - -2/10/92 (bug fix) Tk_CreateFileHandler didn't correctly handle case -where new mask was specified for existing handler. - -2/13/92 (bug fix) Tk_DeleteAllBindings wasn't correctly removing -bindings from the pattern table: only did the removal for the -first pattern in a pattern list. - -2/15/92 (new feature) Added procedures Tk_DefineBitmap and -Tk_SizeOfBitmap. Tk_GetBitmapFromData is now considered obsolete -and probably shouldn't be used anymore. Tk_GetBitmapFromData -is now implemented by calling Tk_DefineBitmap and Tk_GetBitmap. - -2/15/92 (new feature) Added "curselection" and "select clear" options -to widget command for listboxes. - -2/15/92 (new feature) Added Tk_3DBorderColor procedure. - -2/17/92 (relaxed limitations) Changed scrollbars so they no longer limit -the slider position to lie within the object's range: can scroll off the -end of an object, if the object permits it. Changed listboxes and -entries to explicitly prevent viewing off the ends. Also relaxed -listbox index checks so that out-of-range indices are automatically -adjust to fit within the listbox range. - -2/19/92 (bug fix) tkWindow.c tended to leave half-created windows around -if a new window's name was found to be in use already. Fixed to clean -them up. - -2/22/92 (new feature) Added -anchor, -bitmap, -height, -textvariable, --width options to labels, buttons, check buttons, menu buttons, and radio -buttons. This means that (a) size can be controlled better, (b) bitmaps -can be displayed in any buttons, (c) the position of the text within the -button can be controlled, and (d) a button can be made to display the value -of a variable, continuously updating itself. Also changed -selector option -so that if it's specified as an empty string then no selector is drawn -for the button. - -2/22/92 (new feature) Changed menus to support bitmaps in menu entries: -added new -bitmap option for entries. - -2/26/92 (bug fix) "after" command, when invoked with just one argument, -called Tk_Sleep rather than registering a timer handler and looping on -Tk_DoOneEvent. As a result, it caused the application to become non- -responsive to X events during the sleep. Changed to use a Tk_DoOneEvent -loop so that it is responsive. - -2/26/92 (bug fix) Tk's main program didn't map the main window until -after the startup script returned. Changed to map the window as a -do-when-idle handler, so that scripts can cause the window to be -mapped immediately with a call to "update" or "after". - -2/28/92 (bug fix) "wm withdraw" wasn't working if invoked before window -was originally mapped: window got mapped anyway. Fixed so that the -window doesn't get mapped as long as it's withdrawn. - -2/29/92 (new feature) Can use "focus none" to clear input focus. - -2/29/92 (bug fix) Fixed tkEvent.c to generate SubstructureNotify events -properly. These weren't being generated previously. - -2/29/92 (bug fix) Fixed entries so that newline characters can be properly -displayed (as `\x0a'). Had to change interface to TkDisplayChars in order -to do this (added flags argument). - -2/29/92 (bug fix) Change Tk not to update size and position of top-level -windows directly during calls like Tk_ResizeWindow. Instead, wait until -actual event is received. This makes updates happen at same time as -callbacks. - -3/6/92 (bug fix) TkMenubutton.c was dumping core when a menubutton was -pressed at a time when there was no associated menu for the button. - -3/6/92 (new feature) Added Tk script library directory with official -Tk initialization file "tk.tcl". Other procedures used by Tk are in -other files. Tk procedures and variables all have names starting -with "tk_". Also added Wish startup script "wish.tcl", which sources -both the Tk and Tcl startup scripts. This means that things like -auto-loading and abbreviation expansion are now available in wish. -Added new variables tk_library, tk_priv, and tk_version. - -3/6/92 (new feature) It's now possible to set bindings for whole -classes by using the class name in the bind command. For example, -"bind Button <Enter> {puts stdout Hi!}" will cause a message to be -printed whenever any mouse button is entered. Can also use "all" -to set bindings for all widgets. Widget-specific bindings override -class bindings which override "all" bindings. - -3/6/92 (reorganization) Changed buttons (all flavors) and listboxes to -eliminate all hard-wired behavior. Instead, default behavior is set -by class bindings in tk.tcl. Also set up class bindings for menus, -menubuttons, and entries, which previously had no default behavior at -all. Scrollbars and scales still have hard-wired behavior that can't -be overridden. - -3/7/92 (look-and-feel change) Changed listboxes and entries and menus -to use button 2 for scanning instead of button 3. This is more consistent -with the official Motif use of button 2 for dragging. - -3/10/92 (new features) Added more options to "winfo" command: screencells, -screendepth, screenmmheight, screenmmwidth, and screenvisual. - -3/13/92 (bug fix) Event sharing mechanism (tkShare.c) wasn't checking -to see whether window was mapped before sharing events with it. - -3/16/92 (bug fix) Tk_SetInternalBorderWidth was passing wrong window to -geometry-management procedures, causing core-dumps when menu buttons -had their border widths changed. - -3/16/92 (bug fix) Menus were setting their geometry directory rather -than using Tk_GeometryRequest mechanism. - -3/17/92 (new feature) Added -cursor option to all widgets to set the -active cursor for the widget. Also added TK_CONFIG_ACTIVE_CURSOR -configure type. - -3/18/92 (new feature) Implemented generalized screen coordinates to -allow resolution-independent specification in many cases (but pixel- -based coordinates are still OK). Added Tk_GetScreenMM(), -Tk_GetPixels(), new configure types TK_CONFIG_SCREEN_MM and -TK_CONFIG_PIXELS. Changed widgets to use this new configure types -wherever possible (a few of the more complex cases still haven't -been taken care of yet). Added "pixels" and "fpixels" options to -"winfo" command. - -3/18/92 (new feature) First cut at canvas widgets is done and part of -the official Tk now. Canvases display text and structured graphics, -and allow you to bind commands to events related to the text and -graphics. - -3/21/92 (new feature) Added new "place" command. It implements a -new geometry manager that provides fixed placement, rubber-sheet -placement, and combinations of the two. Eliminated the commands -"move", "resize", and "map" that were provided by main.c but never -officially supported; the placer provides all of this functionality. - -3/23/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkWm.c where top-level windows were -occasionally not being given the right size. The problem occurred -when a string of resizes happened all in a row (such as deleting all -the windows in an application and then recreating them). - -3/23/92 (new feature) Added Tk_CoordsToWindow procedure and -"winfo containing" command. These may be used to locate the window -containing a given point. - -3/28/92 (new feature) Added "-exportselection" option to listboxes, -so that listbox selection need not necessarily be the X selection. - -4/12/92 (bug fix) Changed menu buttons to store name of menubutton -in the associated variable, rather than the name of the menu. This -is necessary in order to allow several menu buttons to share the -same menu. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -4/12/92 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that occurred in tkError.c when -removing the first error record from the error list. - -4/15/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkBind.c that prevented <Key-1> -event specifications from being processed correctly: the "1" was -treated as a button name rather than a keysym. - -4/18/92 (new feature) Added Tk_DefineCursor and Tk_UndefineCursor -procedures. - -4/18/92 (new feature) Major revision to listboxes. Can now scroll and -scan in both x and y, plus -exportselection option allows selection not -to be exported. The "view" widget command has been replaced by "xview" -and "yview", and the "scan" widget command has a new syntax. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -4/18/92 (new feature) Added -exportselection option to entries, so you -can select whether you want the entry selection to be the X selection -or not. - -4/24/92 (new features) Added TK_CONFIG_CUSTOM type to Tk_ConfigureWidget, -plus added new flags TK_CONFIG_NULL_OK, TK_CONFIG_DONT_SET_DEFAULT, -and TK_CONFIG_OPTION_SPECIFIED. Several other new types, such as -TK_CONFIG_CAP_STYLE, were also added as part of implementing canvases. - -4/29/92 (bug fix) Changed "-selector" default for menus to have separate -values for mono and color. - -4/30/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkListbox.c where it occasionally generated -bogus scroll commands (last index less than first). - -4/30/92 (reorganization) Moved demos directory to "library/demos". - ----------------------- Release 2.0, 5/1/92 ------------------------- - -5/2/92 (bug fix) Fixed problem in tkListbox.c where it was doing too many -redisplays after repeated insertions. Also reduced number of invocations -of scrollbar commands. - -5/7/92 (portability improvement) Changed main.c not to use TK_EXCEPTION -flag; it isn't needed and it causes problems on some systems. - -5/9/92 (bug fix) Plugged core leaks in tkListbox.c and tkBind.c - -5/9/92 (bug fix) TkBind.c was accidentally deleting bindings during -attempts to print non-existent bindings. - -5/11/92 (bug fix) Maximum name length for applications (name used in -"send" commands) was too short (only 20); increased to 1000. Also -fixed bug related to over-long names that caused core dumps. - -5/13/92 (bug fix) tkShare.c was using a dangling pointer if a share -group was deleted as a side-effect of a shared event. - -5/13/92 (bug fix) Various initialization and core leak problems in -tkGC.c, tkSend.c, tkMenu.c, tkEvent.c, tkCanvas.c, tkCanvPoly.c, -tkCanvLine.c, tkListbox.c, tkEntry.c. - -5/13/92 (bug fix) Empty entries could be scanned off the left edge, -displaying a garbage character. - -5/13/92 (bug fix) Fixed a few problems with window manager interactions, -such as tendency for windows to spontaneously shrink in size. By no -means are all of the problems fixed, though. - -5/13/92 (performance optimization) Changed Tk_GeometryRequest not to -invoke geometry manager unless requested size has changed. - ----------------------- Release 2.1, 5/14/92 ------------------------- - -5/1/92 (new features) Added flags like TK_IDLE_EVENTS to Tk_DoWhenIdle, -plus added "idletasks" option to "update" command. Tk_DoWhenIdle arguments -look different now, but the change should be upward-compatible. - -5/17/92 (new feature/bug fix) Added support for VisibilityNotify events -to the "bind" command. For some reason they weren't supported previously. - -5/17/92 (new feature) Added "tkwait" command. - -5/17/92 (new feature) Added "grab" command. - -5/17/92 (new feature) Added "-width" option to messages. Also changed -messages to use the computed (i.e. desired) line length when displaying, -not the actual width of the window. - -5/17/92 (bug fixes) Did some more fiddling with tkWm.c in the hopes -of improving window manager interactions. Now there won't be more than -one configure request outstanding to the wm at a time. - -5/17/92 (bug fix) Arrowheads on canvas lines weren't being translated -or scaled correctly. - -5/20/92 (bug fix) Page-mode scrolling didn't work correctly for canvases -(wrong windowUnits was passed to scrollbars). - -5/20/92 (bug fix) Changed scrollbars not to lose highlight when pointer -leaves window with button down. Also changed redisplay to double-buffer -for smoother redraws. - -5/21/92 (new feature) Added "gray50" and "gray25" as predefined bitmaps. - -5/22/92 (new feature) Buttons can now be disabled using the "-state" and -"-disabledforeground configuration options. The "activate" and "deactivate" -widget commands for buttons are now obsolete and will go away soon. -Please change Tcl scripts not to use them. - -5/23/92 (new feature) Entries can now be disabled using the "-state" -config option. Also improved class bindings for entries to keep the -cursor visible in the window when operations occur. Also made slight -improvements in the way redisplay is done. - -5/23/92 (new feature) Added "-textvariable" option to entries so that -the text in an entry can be tied to the value of a global variable in -a fashion similar to buttons. - -5/27/92 (new feature) Added "-textvariable" and "-anchor" options to -messages. - -5/28/92 (new feature) Added "-padx" and "-pady" and "-underline" options -to menubuttons. - -5/28/92 (feature change) Changed "-width" and "-height" options on -all flavors of buttons and menubuttons so that they are orthogonal -to "-padx" and "-pady". It used to be that -width overrode -padx -(no padding). Now they accumulate. - -5/29/92 (new feature) Added "-disabledforeground" option to menus and -all flavors of buttons (can specify color for disabled things rather -than just using stipple to gray out). - -5/29/92 (new features) Added many new options to menu entries: --activebackground, -background, -font, -state, -underline. The -"disable" and "enable" widget commands for menus are now obsolete -and will go away soon. Please change Tcl scripts not to use them. - -5/29/92 (new features) Added "atom" and "atomname" options to "winfo" -command. - -5/29/92 (new feature) Wrote tk_listboxSingleSelect procedure, which -can be used to change listbox behavior so that only a single item is -selected at once. - -6/1/92 (new feature) Added new modifier names "Meta" and "Alt" for -"bind" command. - -6/3/92 (new feature) Added "winfo toplevel" command. - -6/3/92 (new feature) Made several changes for greater Motif compliance, -including: - - menu retention if you click and release in the menu button, - - keyboard traversal of menus (see traversal.man) - - no widget flashing if you set $tk_strictMotif to 1 - -6/15/92 (bug fix) Fixed problem in tkBind.c where command string for a -binding could get reallocated while the command was being executed (e.g. -bindings that delete or change themselves). - -6/15/92 (bug fix) Don't allow "tabWidth" field to become zero in tkFont.c: -can cause core dumps for fonts that don't enough information to compute -tab widths. - -6/19/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in binding mechanism that caused structure- -related events to be reported both to the correct window and its parent. - -7/14/92 (bug fix) Changed tkColor.c not to free colors for visual types -StaticGray or StaticColor. - -7/15/92 (new feature) Text widgets now exist. They display any number of -lines of text with a variety of display formats, and include hypertext -facilities. See the manual page for details. - -7/20/92 (bug fix) If a top-level window was put in the iconic state to -begin with, it could be deiconified with "wm deiconify .foo" until it had -first been deiconified by hand from the window manager. Tk was getting -confused and thought the window was mapped when it wasn't. - -7/29/92 (bug fix) Don't permit rectangles or ovals to have zero-sized -dimensions. Round up to at least one pixel. - -7/29/92 (new features) Major upgrade to canvases: - - new item types: arc, window, bitmap - - added Bezier spline support for lines and polygons - - rectangles and ovals now center their outlines on the shape, - rather than drawing them entirely inside the shape - - new "coords" and "bbox" widget commands - - new "-tags" option for all item types. - - new "-confine" option to prevent scrolling off edge of canvas. - -8/6/92 (new feature) Added "-width" and "-height" options to frames. -The "-geometry" option is now obsolete and should be removed from Tcl -scripts: it may go away in the future. - -8/7/92 (bug fix) Error messages in Tk_ParseArgv were sometimes including -the option name where they should have included its value. - ----------------------- Release 2.2, 8/7/92 ------------------------- - -8/7/92 (bug fix) Changed tkCanvas.c to be more conservative in the area -it passes to XCopyArea. - -8/8/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkTextDisp.c that sometimes caused core -dumps when text views changed (e.g. typing return on last line of screen). - -8/8/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in menu.tcl that caused errors when using -keyboard to traverse over separator menu entries. - -8/10/92 (bug fix) Changed to use OPEN_MAX instead of MAX_FD to compute -maximum # of open files. - -8/10/92 (bug fix) Canvases weren't updating scrollbars on window size -changes. They also weren't recentering canvases on window size changes. - -8/10/92 (bug fix) There were still a few places where commands were being -invoked at local level instead of global level (e.g. commands associated -with buttons and menu entries). - -8/10/92 (bug fix) TkBind.c used to ignore explicit shift modifiers for -all keys (i.e. <Shift-Tab> was treated the same as <Tab>). Modified to -allow explicit request for shift modifier, like <Shift-Tab>. - -8/13/92 (feature change) Changed default fonts to request "Adobe" fonts -explicitly. - -8/16/92 (bug fixes) Modified tkCanvArc.c and tkTrig.c to increase slightly -the bounding boxes for arcs, in order to make sure that proper redisplay -occurs when arcs are moved (little turds were getting left behind). - -8/16/92 (bug fix) Modified tkCanvas.c not to redraw at all if the redisplay -area is off the screen. Also, only do a background clear for the portion -of the redraw area that is on-screen. Also, reduced size of off-screen -pixmaps used for redisplaying, which speeds up redisplay in some cases. - -8/19/92 (bug fix) Canvases that were taller than wide were not being -redisplayed properly. - -8/20/92 (new feature) Added Tk_CreateGenericHandler procedure for trapping -all X events (useful for tracing, watching non-Tk windows, etc.). - -8/21/92 (bug fix) Widgets weren't always being notified when they got -the focus back again (the problem had to do with grabs and menus in -particular). - -8/21/92 (new feature) Added "-state" option to scale widgets. - -8/22/92 (new feature) Changed tkBitmap.c to allow tilde-substitution -to occur in bitmap file names. - ----------------------- Release 2.3, 8/24/92 ------------------------- - -8/27/92 (bug fix) Changes to -activebackground and -activeforeground options -for menubuttons were being lost. - -8/27/92 (bug fix) Entries were selecting last character when a B1-drag -occurred past the right edge of the text. - -8/28/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in canvases where a grab during a button -press caused the canvas state to lock up so that it didn't select a -new current item. - -9/7/92 (bug fix) Changed tkMenu.c to accept numerical menu indices that -are out of range; now it just rounds them off to the nearest existing -entry. - -9/7/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkTextDisp.c that caused core dumps when -invoking "yview -pickplace" widget command on texts that are too small -to hold any lines at all. - -9/11/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkTextDisp.c that caused core dumps -when adding tags to non-existent lines. - -9/11/92 (bug fix) Line items in canvases didn't permit an empty fill -color (i.e. couldn't make them transparent). - -9/14/92 (reorganization) Changed manual entries to use .1, .3, and .n -extensions. Added "install" target to Makefile to suggest how Tk should -be installed. - -9/16/92 (bug fix) Changed tkSend.c to always specify the root window of -screen 0 rather than using DefaultRootWindow. DefaultRootWindow doesn't -always go to screen 0 on displays with multiple screens, which can result -in send's not being possible between the screens. - -9/18/92 (new feature) Added three new options to "wm" command: "protocol", -"client", and "command". These provide support for window manager protocols -such as WM_DELETE_WINDOW and WM_TAKE_FOCUS, plus support for the -WM_CLIENT_MACHINE and WM_COMMAND properties. - -9/30/92 (new feature) Implemented color model support, including -"tk colormodel" command and Tk_GetColorModel and Tk_SetColorModel -procedures. These allow you to force mono operation even on a color -display. Also changed color allocation not to give errors when colors -run out, but just to switch to a mono color model. - -10/1/92 (bug fixes) Fixed two bugs in tkTextBTree.c that caused core dumps -during text deletion. - -10/5/92 (bug work-around) Changed tkColor.c to ignore errors when freeing -colors. This is needed to work around improper reference count management -for colormap entries under X11/NeWS. - -10/7/92 (new feature) Added support for different visual types, including -procedures Tk_SetWindowVisual and Tk_SetWindowColormap, plus macros -Tk_Visual, Tk_Depth, and Tk_Colormap. The code for this was contributed -by Paul Mackerras. - -10/7/92 (new feature) Added Tk_IsTopLevel macro. - -10/12/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tk.tcl that caused torn-off menus with -cascaded children not to track mouse motion correctly (the cascade -switched in response to mouse motions within the cascaded child). - -10/12/92 (new feature) Major changes to focus handling: -(a) Tk watches FocusIn and FocusOut events for focus changes, not Enter - and Leave, so it will work better with explicit-focus-model window - managers (e.g. mwm in default mode). -(b) Tk generates FocusIn and FocusOut events for the focus window now. - The old procedural interface (via Tk_CreateFocusHandler) is obsolete - and is no longer used inside Tk. It is still supported for - compatibility, but won't be for long. You should change your code - to use FocusIn and FocusOut events instead. -(c) The model for FocusIn and FocusOut events is different than the - one described in Xlib documentation. See the "focus" manual entry - for details. -(d) If there is no input focus then keyboard events are discarded. They - used to be directed to the mouse pointer window, although this wasn't - documented. The focus now defaults to the root window. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -10/15/92 (bug fix) Fixed text items in canvases where they didn't -display the insertion cursor if the item had no characters in it. - -10/26/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkSelect.c that occasionally caused -BadWindow X protocol errors when retrieving the selection. Tk wasn't -making sure that a window existed before using it to retrieve the -selection. - -10/30/92 (feature change) Changed canvases so that if the scroll region -is smaller than the window and -confine is on, the scroll region isn't -forced to be centered in the window; it can be anywhere that meets the -confinement restrictions. - -11/2/92 (new feature) Added "winfo exists" command. - -11/5/92 (new feature) Changed DoWhenIdle handlers so that if a new -when-idle handler is created as a side-effect of another when-idle -handler, the new handler isn't invoked until Tk has first checked -for other events to process. - -11/6/92 (bug fixes, new features) Major overhaul of window manager -interface: -(a) Tk should now work with virtual-root window managers; -(b) windows will now place more accurately on the screen and stay where - they're supposed to; -(c) size changes handled more reliably; -(d) code now works robustly in the face of withdrawals followed - immediately by deiconifications. -(e) Added new procedure Tk_GetVRootInfo and new options to "winfo" command: - vrootx, vrooty, vrootwidth, vrootheight. -(f) Added "overrideredirect" option to "wm". -(g) Fixed bug where change in width-only via "wm geom" didn't always work - (min and max window sizes weren't being set properly for the wm). - -11/6/92 (bug fixes) Modified menus so that they work correctly with -virtual root window managers. Also fixed bug where menus didn't move -along with their associated windows, so that the menu popped up at -the old location of the window rather than its new location. - -11/9/92 (new constraint) Made it illegal to give windows names that -start with upper-case letters, since such names will goof up the -option database by appearing to be classes rather than names. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -11/10/92 (new feature) Added Postscript output to canvases. - -11/13/92 (bug fix) Changed default for maximum size passed to window -manager from 1000000 (which causes some wm's to make windows too large -when "maximized") to the size of the display. - -11/14/92 (feature change) Major overhaul of menubuttons and pull-down -menus. Removed event-sharing code, including Tk_ShareEvents and -Tk_UnshareEvents. The -variable option for menubuttons has been -removed,and the "post" and "unpost" widget commands for menubuttons -no longer exist. The "post" widget command for menus no longer -allows a group option. The procedure tk_menus has been replaced -with a new procedure, tk_menuBar, which has a slightly different -interface. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -11/20/92 (new features, feature changes) Major overhaul of grab -mechanism to produce more correct event streams. Also changed Tcl -commands to require explicit window for grab releases (makes it -possible for grabs to work on multiple displays simultaneously). -The old "grab none" command no longer exists, but new options -have been added: "current", "release", "set", and "status". -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -11/20/92 (new feature) Use TK_LIBRARY environment variable to set library -directory location, if it is defined. Otherwise fall back on usual -compiled-in value. - -11/25/92 (bug fix) "wm grid" command was using wrong window. - -11/29/92 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that occurred when trying to use -placer on top-level windows: return error instead. - -11/29/92 (bug fix) Selection retrieval wasn't making sure that the window -on whose behalf selection is being retrieved actually exists. - -12/3/92 (new feature) Added support for Mode_switch key to support the -full ISO character set. Also added event handlers for MappingNotify -events so that Tk updates itself in response to keycode and modifier -changes. - -12/6/92 (bug fix) Ignore recursive attempts to destroy window. - -12/9/92 (new demos) Added "tcolor" and "rmt" demos. - -12/10/92 (new features) Added "yposition" widget command for menus, -changed "delete" widget command to take an optional second index, -and changed -command option for cascade entries so that it is -invoked when the entry is activated rather than when it is invoked. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -12/12/92 (implementation change) Changed the procedures Tk_FreeBitmap, -Tk_NameOfBitmap, Tk_SizeOfBitmap, Tk_FreeCursor, Tk_NameOfCursor, and -Tk_FreeGC to require an addition Display argument. This is needed for -Tk to function correctly when an application has windows on multiple -displays. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -12/12/92 (new feature) Started creating a test suite. Right now it -only has a few tests. - -12/12/92 (new feature) Modified the packer so that a window can be -packed in descendants of its parent (used to be restricted to the -parent alone). This makes it possible to hide extra windows used -for geometry management. Also, can use generalized screen distances -in the "pack" command. - -12/16/92 (feature change) Boolean options such as -exportselection now -print as 0/1 rather than true/false (both the default and current values -print this way). This makes it easier to use these values in expressions. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -12/16/92 (name change) The classes "RadioButton" and "CheckButton" have -been renamed "Radiobutton" and "Checkbutton" for consistency. From now -on widget class names will have exactly one capital letter. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -12/16/92 (new feature) Added -setgrid option to listboxes. - -12/16/92 (new feature) The "destroy" command, and the "delete" widget -command for canvases, now accept any number of arguments, including -zero. - -12/16/92 (new feature) Changed internal TkBindError procedure to -Tk_BackgroundError and exported it to Tk clients. - -12/16/92 (option name change) Changed the place command's "dependents" -option to "slaves" for better consistency with documentation. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -12/16/92 (name changes) Renamed the "cursor*" options in entries and -canvases to "insert*". Also renamed the "cursor" index to "insert" and -the "cursor" widget command to "icursor". This was done to avoid -confusion between the mouse cursor and the insertion cursor. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - ----------------------- Release 3.0, 12/17/92 ------------------------- - -12/17/92 (bug fix) Fixed dangling-pointer bug in canvases that occurred -if a <LeaveNotify> binding deleted the current item. - -12/18/92 (bug fix) Core dump occurred if "wm" invoked with no arguments. -Also, tkWm.c wasn't properly setting WM_CLASS property on application -startup. - -12/18/92 (incorrect documentation) Updated manual entries for Tk_FreeGC, -Tk_FreeCursor, and Tk_FreeBitmap to reflect new interface that requires -"display" argument. - -12/18/92 (missing documentation) Added documentation for the canvas -"postscript" command, which was missing in the 3.0 release. - -12/21/92 (bug fixes) There were lots of problems with the new installation -targets in the Makefiles, such as using "cp -f" and not installing -prolog.ps. Made several other miscellaneous improvements to Makefile. - -12/21/92 (bug fix) Arrowheads on canvas line items weren't moving properly -after coordinate changes made with the "coords" widget command. - -12/21/92 (bug fix) If top-level window was initially withdrawn, couldn't -ever deiconify it again. - -12/21/92 (bug fix) Double-button event sequences didn't always trigger -properly when grabs were in effect. - -12/22/92 (bug fix) The packer didn't display any top or bottom windows -after a left or right expanded window, and vice versa. Also made the -distribution of space among expanded windows more even. - -12/28/92 (new features) Several improvements to selection: -(a) Added procedures Tk_ClearSelection and Tk_DeleteSelHandler. -(b) Added "clear" and "own" options to "selection" command, extended - "handle" option to delete handlers. -(c) Error returns from "selection handle" scripts are now turned into - selection retrieval errors ("no such selection") rather than an - empty selection. -(d) Tk responds automatically for targets APPLICATION (name of application, - so you can "send" to it) and WINDOW_NAME (name of window within - application. -(e) Added test file "select.test" to test suite. - -12/28/92 (bug fix) Fixed problem with flashing menus that occurred -because menu.tcl was willing to unpost and then immediately repost -the same menu. - -1/6/93 (bug fix) Test for UnmapNotify events in tkPack.c used = instead -of ==. - -1/21/93 (bug fix) Changed many widgets to eliminate use of -DefaultVisualofScreen, DefaultColormap, etc. and use the visuals -and colormaps for the actual windows instead. Also changed to -inherit colormaps and windows from parent by default. - -1/21/93 (new features) Added new winfo options "cells", "depth", and -"visual". - -1/23/93 (bug fix) Fixed problem with text display that could result -in negative XCopyArea heights being sent to X server. This causes some -servers (e.g. some versions of OpenWindows) to crash. - -1/25/93 (new feature) Added -postcommand option to menus, so that menus -can be reconfigured before each posting. - -1/29/93 (feature change) Changed %X and %Y in bindings so that they -refer to the virtual root rather than the true root. Although -potentially incompatible, this change should almost always "do the -right thing". -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -1/31/93 (bug fix) Changed "send" code to grab server while updating -the registry property (before this fix, two programs could allocate -the same interpreter name if they started up simultaneously). In -order to make this fix I had to change the code for reclaiming -names of dead interpreters in a way that sometimes allows dead -interpreters to persist in the registry. - -2/1/93 (feature change) Changed entries to allow leftmost "visible" -character to be the end of the text (i.e. no characters actually visible). -This is needed so that the cursor can be displayed even if the last -actual character is too wide to fit in the window. - -2/3/93 (bug fix) Fixed two bugs in tkFocus.c: (a) FocusIn events -were getting lost in some cases because the focus window hadn't been -created yet (e.g. new top-level window pops up underneath the mouse); -(b) Tk was accidentally triggering FocusOut events when the mouse -moved from a top-level window to one of its children. - -2/4/93 (new feature) Added "visibility" option to "tkwait" command to make -it easier to wait for a new window to appear on the screen. - ----------------------- Release 3.1, 2/5/93 ------------------------- - -2/10/93 (installation improvements) Makefile improvements: added RANLIB -variable for easier Sys-V installation, changed to use INCLUDE_DIR -properly, and added SHELL variable for SGI systems. - ----------------------- Release 3.2, 2/11/93 ------------------------- - -2/11/93 (new feature) Added "wm state" command, and improved wm so that -the right thing will happen if you invoke "wm iconify" when a window is -withdrawn. - -2/14/93 (bug fix) When -colormap option was used in generating Postscript -for canvases, Tk didn't add an extra space after the color command. - -2/14/93 (new feature) Changed "extern" declarations in tk.h to "EXTERN", -which will use the definition of EXTERN from tcl.h and work correctly -in C++ programs. - -2/18/93 (bug fix) Item-specific bindings weren't getting deleted from -canvas items when the items were deleted. As a result, they could -suddenly re-appear for new items if the new items were allocated a -record at the same addresses as the old ones. - -2/18/93 (feature reversal) Changed "after" back again, so that it sleeps -*without* responding to events when it is invoked with just one argument; -can always use tkwait plus after with additional arguments to achieve -the effect of responding to events. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -2/20/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkWindow.c where colormaps weren't being -set correctly for new top-level windows on different screens than their -parents (the bug results in X protocol errors: "invalid Colormap -parameter"). - -2/22/93 (bug fix) Changed "#!/usr/local/wish" in demo scripts to -"#!/usr/local/bin/wish" to reflect new location of binary. - -2/22/93 (new feature) Added new reliefs "groove" and "ridge". - -2/25/93 (new feature) Added new built-in bitmaps: "error", "hourglass", -"info", "question", "questhead", and "warning". Also added new demo in -"widget" to display all of these (under the Miscellaneous menu). - -2/25/93 (improved implementation) Changed DrawText procedure in -prolog for outputting Postscript from canvases to use stringwidth -instead of charpath+pathbbox: avoids limitcheck problems with long -strings, and also properly includes space characters in calculation. - -2/25/93 (bug fix) Fixed several bugs in library/menu.tcl that caused -menu traversal to mis-behave when menu had no entries. - -2/26/93 (new feature) Added "wm frame" command. - -3/6/93 (bug fix) Mwm in click-to-focus mode was goofing up grabs so that -pull-down menus were sometimes unresponsive. Modified tk.tcl to ignore -the spurious B1-Enter events generated by mwm, plus modified tkGrab.c to -release simulated button grabs correctly. - -3/8/93 (bug fix) Tk had wrong interpretation of "lbearing" font metric, -which caused text to be displayed at the wrong horizontal position in -several places (labels/buttons, listboxes, canvas text, scales). This -change will cause slight changes in the way certain widgets are -displayed. - -3/12/93 (bug fix) Fixed core dumps that occurred in tkEntry.c because of -zero values in entryPtr->avgWidth. - -3/12/93 (bug fix) Tk_CoordsToWindow was using root coordinates always. -Changed to use virtual-root coordinates when a virtual-root window -manager is being used. Before this fix, "winfo containing" didn't -return the correct window under virtual-root window managers. - -3/18/93 (bug fix) Modified tkWm.c so that Tk doesn't fight with window -manager over position of window; it just takes what the window manager -gives it. - -3/21/93 (new feature) Changed menus to display cascade entries with -standard Motif arrows at right side.a - -3/22/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkPack.c that was causing memory to -get trashed with the integer value 1. - -3/22/93 (bug fix) Canvas text didn't print correctly if it contained -an open paren (or other special character) immediately followed by -an octal digit. - -3/22/93 (bug fix) Text widgets didn't redisplay properly in cases -where two or more groups of lines both got taller at the same time -(e.g. from tag changes), causing two separate bit copies where the -first bit copy's target area overlapped the source area for -the second bit copy. - -4/1/93 (bug fix) Changed canvases to use ISO Latin-1 font encoding -if that's supported by the Postscript interpreter. Also added workaround -for bug in NeWSprint related to stipple fills. - -4/1/93 (bug fixes) Made various changes to focusing and grabs to -eliminate extraneous focus events and generally improve behavior. - -4/2/93 (bug fix) Modified tkWm.c not to wait indefinitely for the window -manager to map or reconfigure a window: this led to deadlock in some -situations, such as creating a new top-level window with a grab held. - -4/19/93 (bug fix) Fixed another bug in tkWm.c that caused windows to walk -across the screen in some situations. Also fixed problem where rapid -posting and unposting of cascaded submenus (or menus?) could cause Tk -to become confused about whether or not a window is mapped (added -TkWmUnmapWindow procedure to make top-level unmaps synchronous). - -4/24/93 (feature change) Changed the "after" command to allow times -less than or equal to 0, and to use 0 whenever they occur. - -4/26/93 (new feature) Implemented security check for "send" as proposed -by Bennett Todd: incoming sends are now rejected unless (a) xhost-style -access control is enabled and (b) the list of authorized hosts is -empty. In other words, you have to use xauth to use send. This feature -can be disabled by setting the TK_NO_SECURITY flag at compile-time. - -5/15/93 (improvement) Switched to use Tcl_PrintDouble whenever returning -real values as Tcl results. This potentially allows higher precision. -Switched to use %.15g whenever printing reals in Postscript files. -However, the change Tcl_PrintDouble causes incompatibilities. For -now, it's disabled with a macro in tclInt.h that redefines Tcl_PrintDouble. -Tk 4.0 will delete the macro, and you can also delete it now if you -want the better (but incompatible) behavior. - -5/19/93 (bug fix) Fixed divide-by-zero problem that could occur in -closeness calculations for canvas oval items. - -5/30/93 (bug fix) PROP and CONFIG were accidentally #defined to the same -value in tkBind.c, which could cause incorrect %-substitutions in event -bindings in a few exotic cases. - -6/4/93 (improvement) Changed to use GNU autoconfig for configuration. -Makefile format changed, and Tcl is no longer automatically included -in Tk releases. - -6/7/93 (bug fix) Fixed off-by-one error in rounding negative coordinates -during redisplay of canvases. - -6/9/93 (feature improvement) Modified default bindings for entries to -keep one character visible to the left of the cursor during backspaces. - -6/18/93 (feature improvement) Added patchlevel.h, for use in coordinating -future patch releases, and also added tk_patchLevel variable to make the -patch level available in scripts. - -6/26/93 (bug fix) Fixed numeric problems in scales that occurred with -very large scale values. - -6/26/93 (bug fix) Polygon items in canvases could cause core dumps if -the "coords" widget command was used to add one new coordinate. - -6/26/93 (bug fix) Changed canvases to handle large stipple patterns -gracefully (stipples used to jump around during redisplay and lose -coherency). - -7/1/93 (syntax change, new feature) Implemented the new packer syntax -as described in the book. For now the old syntax will continue to be -supported too. Converting over is straightforward except (a) use -"-anchor" instead of "frame", and (b) padding is different (separate -internal and external padding, plus pad amounts are *on each side* -instead of total). Also added "pack propagate" command for keeping -the packer from setting the master's requested size. - -7/1/93 Changed copyright notices. The effect is the same as with the -old notices, but the new notices more clearly disclaim liability. - -7/7/93 (new feature) Added support for window stacking order. Windows -will now stack in the order created (most recent on top), plus "raise" -and "lower" commands may be used to restack (Tk_RestackWindow procedure -is available from C level). - -7/7/93 (reorganization) Moved main.c to tkMain.c, reorganized it to -call Tcl_AppInit just like tclsh does, and added argv0 variable to contain -application name, and added default Tcl_AppInit procedure for wish. -Also added tkTest.c to hold C code for testing. - -7/7/93 (new feature) Added new Tk-specific "exit" command, which cleans -up properly before exiting. It replaces the Tcl "exit" command, and -can be used in place of "destroy .". - -7/9/93 (new features) Added tk_dialog library procedure that creates -dialogs with a bitmap, message, and any number of buttons. Also changed -default tkerror procedure to use tk_dialog plus offer the user a chance -to see a Tcl stack trace. - --------------------- Release 3.3 Beta 1, 7/9/93 ------------------------- - -7/12/93 (configuration changes) Eliminated leading blank line in -configure script; provided separate targets in Makefile for installing -binary and non-binary information; fixed -lnsl and -lsocket handling -in configure; added autoconf support for fd_set type; check for various -typedefs like mode_t and size_t, and provide substitutes if they -don't exist; don't include tkAppInit.o in libtk.a; try to locate the -X includes and library in all of the standard places for various systems. - -7/14/93 (new feature) Modified tkMain.c so that it stores the value -of the -display command-line option into the DISPLAY environment -variable, if it is specified. - -7/15/93 (feature removal) Removed auto-initialization feature from -Tk_ConfigureWidget, so that you must once again initialize all fields -of a widget record before calling Tk_ConfigureWidget. This restores -the behavior back to what it was in Tk 3.2. - -7/16/93 (bug fix) Modified tkBind.c to ignore the Caps Lock modifier -unless it is explicitly requested in a binding. Without this fix, -buttons and menus and other things didn't work if the Caps Lock key -was active. - --------------------- Release 3.3 Beta 2, 7/21/93 ------------------------- - -7/21/93 (new feature) Change "make install" so that it will modify the -#! lines on demo scripts to reflect the place where the wish binary -is installed. - -7/23/93 (new feature) Added Tk_MainWindow procedure that returns the -main window associated with a Tcl interpreter. This is intended for -use by Tcl_AppInit and other initialization procedures. - -7/24/93 (configuration improvements) Changed configure script not to -omplain about "fd_set" missing if it's defined in <sys/select.h>. - -7/28/93 (bug fix) "Bad Match - parameter mismatch" errors were -sometimes occurring when several top-level windows got created -at the same time, due to wrong choice of sibling when stacking -windows. - -8/14/93 (new feature) Added support for tcl_prompt1 and tcl_prompt2 -to wish main program: makes prompts user-settable. - -8/19/93 (bug fix) Bindings to event sequences like "aD" never matched -because the Shift key has to be pressed before D. Modified Tk to -ignore extraneous keypresses if they are for modifier keys. - -8/26/93 (configuration changes) Added Tk_Init, modified Tcl_AppInit -procedures to use it and Tcl_Init. Added support for .wishrc file. - -8/28/93 (new feature) The main window is now a legitimate toplevel -widget. - --------------------- Release 3.3 Beta 3, 8/30/93 ------------------------- - -9/2/93 (bug fix) The packer wasn't always relaying out a master after -changes to some of the configuration options of its slaves. - -9/2/93 (bug fix) The binding mechanism made it impossible for patterns -like <Double-ButtonRelease-1> to ever match. - -9/2/93 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that occurred for bitmap canvas items -if Postscript is generated but no -bitmap option has been specified. - -9/4/93 (enhancement) Slight improvements to menu traversal: set menu -traversal bindings for menubar window in tk_menuBar, plus trigger -traversal on <Any-Alt-Keypress> instead of <Alt-Keypress>. - -9/9/93 (bug fix) Changed tkBind.c so that the Num_Lock key doesn't -prevent events from triggering bindings. - -9/9/93 (bug fix) Changed tkOption.c to always fetch RESOURCE_MANAGER -property from root window of screen 0, rather than using default -screen. - -9/9/93 (bug fix) Entry widgets weren't allocating quite enough width -for themselves. Fixed this and changed the size computation to match -what's done for buttons and texts. - -9/16/93 (bug fix) Changed tkMain.c not to call exit C procedure directly; -instead always invoke "exit" Tcl command so that application can redefine -the command to do additional cleanup. - --------------------- Release 3.3, 9/29/93 ------------------------- - -9/30/93 (bug fix) Packer wasn't unmapping slaves when master got deleted. - -9/30/93 (bug fix) Binding event sequences such as <Right> were being -misprinted as ASCII characters such as "S". - -10/6/93 (bug fix) Canvases weren't unmapping window items when the canvas -got unmapped, which caused problems for window items whose windows weren't -descendants of the canvas (they got left on the screen). - -10/7/93 (feature change) NULL proc arguments to Tk_CreateFileHandler used -to have a special undocumented meaning (fd was display); eliminated this -special interpretation. - -10/7/93 (configuration change) Eliminated dependency of tkMain.c on -tkInt.h and tkConfig.h, so that it's easier for people to copy the file -out of the source directory to make modified versions. - -10/8/93 (bug fix) 3.0 introduced a bug where the class of the application -wasn't being set properly, so options based on the application class -weren't triggering. Fixed by adding new argument to Tk_CreateMainWindow. - -10/11/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkTextBTree.c where some deletions would -cause core dumps due to halfwayLinePtr not getting set correctly. - -10/18/93 (bug fix) Fixed a couple of bugs that made it hard to actually -display N characters in an entry with "-width N" (tended to scroll the -entry so that only N-1 characters were visible at once). - -10/22/93 (bug fix) During configuration, XINCLUDE_DIR and XLIBRARY_DIR -weren't overriding xmkmf like they were supposed to. - -10/23/93 (new feature) Allow negative scale factors in canvas "scale" -widget command. - -10/23/93 (bug fix) Grabs weren't being cleaned up right if the grab -window was deleted, causing core-dumps in some cases. - -10/23/93 (bug fix) tk_TextSelectTo wasn't checking to be sure that -the "anchor" mark exists. - -10/27/93 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that could occur in a text widget if -the scroll command modifies the text. - -11/1/93 (bug fix) Change texts so that the -yscrollcommand option is -invoked at display time, not when the window is re-layed out. This -eliminated various core dumps that could occur if -yscrollcommand modified -the text. - --------------------- Release 3.4, 11/04/93 ------------------------- - -Note: there is no 3.5 release. It was flawed and was thus withdrawn -shortly after it was released. - -11/12/93 (bug fix) TkMain.c didn't compile on some systems because of -R_OK in call to "access". Changed to eliminate call to "access". - --------------------- Release 3.6, 11/26/93 ------------------------- - -11/10/93 (bug fix) Packer and placer didn't always reposition a window -correctly if it was managed inside a neice or lower descendant (using -"-in" option) and the neice's parent moved. - -11/24/93 (bug fix) Fixed time problem in selection (retrievals could -fail if retriever hasn't received any X events since selection was -made, so that time of retrieval appears to be older than time of -selection). Selection code is now much less picky about times, both -on retrieving and supplying sides. - -12/2/93 (new feature) Changed arrow-head drawing code for canvas -lines to draw a 0-width outline in addition to filling the area: -this produces much nicer, more symmetrical displays. - -12/2/93 (bug fix) When colors ran out, Tk was invoking "tkerror" -when its state was internally inconsistent, which could cause -core dumps in some situations (e.g. if tkerror used the same color -that caused colors to run out). Changed notification to occur -as a when-idle handler. - -12/3/93 (bug fix) During a global grab, Tk wasn't including PointerMotion -in the list of grabbed events, so pointer motion couldn't be tracked -outside the grabbing application. - -12/3/93 (bug fix) Canvases didn't handle smoothed lines correctly -when they only contained two points. - -12/3/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkWindow.c where certain kinds of -errors during window creation could cause Destroy events to be generated -for a window that was never completely initialized. - -12/13/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkTextDisp.c that resulted in core -dumps at line 1467 under exmh. The exact situation is that a text -widget was being redisplayed at a time when it had a -yscrollcommand -option but hadn't yet been mapped onto the screen. - -12/17/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkWindow.c whereby new top-level windows -with non-default visuals still inherited border pixmap from parent (root), -which could cause visual clash and X error. - -12/17/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkTextDisp.c that caused round-off -error in the information passed to scroll commands. - -12/18/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkPack.c that caused core dumps in -some situations if a master with siblings packed "-in" it was deleted. - -12/18/93 (bug fix) Added "compat" directory to distribution, since it's -referenced by tkConfig.h on some systems. - -12/18/93 (performance improvement) Improved performance of appending to -a listbox, so that inserting N items doesn't take N**2 time. - -12/20/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in canvas ovals that caused the fill color -for the oval to stick out past the outline. - -1/2/94 (fixed Xlib bug) Added code to reuse X resource identifiers so -that they won't run out in long running applications. There are three -new library procedures: Tk_FreeXId, Tk_GetPixmap, and Tk_FreePixmap. -Modified all Tk code to use these procedures, so wish applications should -now be able to run forever without running out of identifiers. - -1/10/94 (bug fix) tkCursor wasn't freeing pixmaps used to create -cursors, which caused memory leaks in programs that changed cursors -frequently. - -1/21/94 (bug fix) Fixed bug in scales that caused them to loop -infinitely drawing tick-marks when -from and -to were the same. - -2/2/94 (bug fix) Fixed problem where messages that contained tabs -didn't always compute the correct size, so that text spilled off -the right edge. The fix adds an extra "tabOrigin" parameter to -the internal procedures TkMeasureChars, TkDisplayChars, and -TkUnderlineChars. - -2/4/94 (bug fix) Fixed off-by-one problem in tkBind.c that caused -it to read past the initialized part of dispPtr->modKeyCodes. - -2/7/94 (bug fix) Text widgets didn't handle grabs correctly, such -that the "current" character got stuck if a grab occurred while a -mouse button was down. It would get unstuck until after the -next button press and release. - -2/19/94 (bug fix) Fixed prolog.ps (prolog for Postscript printing from -canvases) so that it correctly prints all of the characters in the -ISO Latin-1 character set. - -2/19/94 (bug fix) Modified tkBind.c to save and restore the interpreter's -result across the execution of binding scripts. Otherwise if an event -triggers in the middle of some other script (e.g. a destroy event during -window creation, because there was an error in the creation command), -the interpreter's result gets lost. - -2/19/94 (bug fix) Fixed bug in dealing with results of sent command -that could cause them to get lost in some situations. - -2/21/94 (bug fix) Don't let user close a dialog window created by -tk_dialog, since this would cause tk_dialog to hang: force the user -to select one of the dialog's buttons. - -2/21/94 (bug fix) Fixed bug in canvas polygons whereby they didn't -correctly handle changes in the number of points (via "coords" -widget command). - -2/23/94 (bug fix) Large bitmaps in canvases didn't print correctly -because they overflowed the 64-KB limit on strings in Postscript. -Changed canvas printing to split up large bitmaps into mutliple -smaller ones for printing. - -2/25/94 (bug fix) The "." window was being set up with -width -and -height options, which interfered with geometry management (any -configuration change on "." causes the window to change size to -200x200, then change back again). - -2/26/94 (bug fix) Fixed several bugs that occurred when a Destroy -event handler for a window deleted the window's parent. - -3/3/94 (new features) Changes to binding mechanism: - - The modifiers for "Alt", "Meta", and "M" are now computed by - examining the modifier map, rather than being hardwired to - M2, M1, and M1. - - When processing events, one script is invoked for each object - in the list passed to Tk_BindEvent, rather than stopping as - soon as a script is invoked for some object. The "break" and - "continue" commands can be used within a script to abort all - scripts for the event or the current one. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Added "bindtags" command so that new binding groups can be - defined for widgets and the evaluation order can be changed. - - When matching events to bindings, extra modifiers are now ignored, - as if "Any" were specified for every event. The "Any" modifier - is still recognized, but it is ignored and is deprecated. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - In % sequences that print window identifiers (e.g. %a and %S), print - in hexadecimal rather than decimal, for consistence with "winfo id". - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - The "bind" command no longer supports the event types CirculateRequest, - ConfigureRequest, MapRequest, or ResizeRequest. These event types - are somewhat dangerous, and they never worked anyway. - -3/13/94 (bug fix) Fixed numerous problems with the "wm iconwindow" command. -It appears that this command never really worked at all, but it should -work OK now. - -3/14/94 (feature changes) Removed several obsolete features: - - Eliminated "enable" and "disable" widget commands for menus. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Eliminated "activate" and "deactivate" widget commands for buttons, - checkbuttons, radiobuttons, and menubuttons. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Removed -geometry option for frames and toplevels: it causes - problems when .Xdefaults files contain entries like - "*geometry: +0+0". Must use -width and -height instead. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Desupported "tkVersion" variable: use "tk_version" instead. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -3/16/94 (feature changes) Changes to listboxes: - - Eliminated -geometry option (it causes problems when .Xdefaults - files contain entries like "*geometry: +0+0"). Added -width - and -height options to use instead. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -3/21/94 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkOption.c where the option cache wasn't -properly cleaned up after window deletion; this could cause the wrong -value from the option database to be used under some conditions. - -3/25/94 (new features) Changes to geometry management: - - Added Tk_MaintainGeometry and Tk_UnmaintainGeometry procedures - to solve problems with -in windows. Modified the packer, the - placer, and canvases to use them. - - Changed 2nd argument to Tk_ManageGeometry from Tk_GeometryProc * - to a pointer to a structure with additional information about - the geometry manager, such as name and procedure to call when - slaves are stolen. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -3/28/94 (new feature) Overhauled event management: - - Added "cancel" option to the "after" command so that you can - cancel previously-scheduled commands. - - Separated X-specific stuff from generic event management. The - file tkEvent.c can now be used stand-alone without the rest of Tk. - See the manual entry for Tk_EventInit for information on which - procedures are available this way. - - Added Tk_CreateFileHandler2 procedure, which provides a lower-level - and more powerful form of file event handler. - - Fixed bug in Tk_DoOneEvent where an infinite loop could occur if - the TK_FILE_EVENT and TK_DONT_WAIT flags were set simultaneously - (there were bugs with several other combinations too; all should - be fixed now). - -3/28/94 (new feature) Added "fileevent" command, which allows event- -driven I/O in the style of Mark Diekhans' "addinput" command. - -4/11/94 (new feature) Better support for colormaps and visuals: - - Added new -colormap and -visual options to toplevels and frames. - - Added "winfo visualsavailable" command. - - Added "wm colormapwindows" command, plus support for WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS - to Tk_SetWindowColormap. - - Added new library procedures Tk_GetVisual, Tk_GetColormap, - and Tk_FreeColormap. - -4/11/94 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that used to occur when specifying -an iconwindow ("wm iconwindow") for a toplevel on a different screen -than the main window. - -4/23/94 (new feature) Added support for images, including the following: - - New "image" command for creating images. - - Built-in image type: bitmap. - - New "image" item type in canvases. - - Labels, buttons, checkbuttons, radiobuttons, menubuttons, and - menu entries now support a -image option for displaying images. - - Tk_CreateImageType and Tk_ImageChanged procedures, for defining - new types of images in C. - - Tk_GetImage, Tk_FreeImage, Tk_RedrawImage, and Tk_SizeOfImage - procedures, for using images in widgets. - -5/1/94 (new features) Added new procedures Tk_3DVerticalBevel and -Tk_3DHorizontalBevel. - -5/11/94 (new features) Major overhaul of text widgets: - - Implemented embedded windows and "window" widget command. - - Added new configuration options for tags: -justify, -lmargin1, - -lmargin2, -rmargin, -offset, -spacing1, -spacing2, and -spacing3. - See the "Display styles" widget demo for examples. - - Added new configuration options for texts: -spacing1, -spacing2, - and -spacing3. - - Added "tagList" option to "insert" widget command to control - tags on new text. Made tagged regions so they aren't sticky on - either side: new characters get a tag only if the old chars. on - both sides had it. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Added gravity for marks, and "mark gravity" widget command. - - Added horizontal scrolling, "xview" widget command, -xscrollcommand - option. Changed "scan" widget commands to support horizontal - scrolling. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Added "search" widget command for searching (either exact matches - or regular expressions). - - New widget commands: bbox, dlineinfo, and see. - - Changed implementation of bindings so that Enter and Leave - events are not generated unless the tag has just become present - (or just ceased to be present) on the current character. Also - changed bindings to process separately for each tag, rather than - having high-priority tags override low-priority ones. - - The "end" index now refers to the character after the last newline - rather than the newline itself. You can now tag the final newline - and set a mark after the final newline. - - Deletions of the "sel" tag and the "insert" and "current" marks - are now ignored silently, rather than generating errors. This means - you can do things like "eval .t tag delete [.t tag names]". - -5/19/94 (bug fix) Canvases didn't generate proper Postscript for stippled -text. - -5/20/94 (new feature) Added "bell" command to ring the display's bell. - -5/20/94 (new feature) Incorporated "square" demonstration widget into -tktest application. - -5/20/94 (new features) Changed wish application (tkMain.c): - - wish no longer processes the -help option. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - The wish main program is now called Tk_Main; tkAppInit.c has a - "main" procedure that calls Tk_Main. This makes it easier to use - Tk with C++ programs, which need their own main programs, and it - also allows an application to prefilter the argument list before - calling Tk_Main. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - The application's class is now the same as its name (except the - first letter is capitalized), instead of "Tk". - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - The -file keyword is no longer required: the script file name can - be provided as the first argument without being preceded by "-file", - as in tclsh. For backward compatibility the "-file" keyword is - ignored if it is the first argument, but it is deprecated. - -5/26/94 (feature removed) Removed support for "fill" justify mode from -Tk_GetJustify and from the TK_CONFIG_JUSTIFY configuration option. None -of the built-in widgets ever supported this mode anyway. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -5/27/94 (feature change) Changed Tk to use Tk_PrintDouble everywhere -that it converts reals to strings. This means that floating-point -values will be generated in some cases where integer-like values were -generated before. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -6/1/94 (feature change) Renamed "pack newinfo" command to "pack info". -The old "pack info" command is no longer available. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -6/20/94 (feature changes) Overhaul of entry widgets: - - Added "-justify" option. - - Added "-show" option to make entries easier to use for passwords. - - Added "cget" widget command. - - Added "selection range" and "selection present" widget commands. - - Added "anchor" symbolic index. - - Changed "-scrollcommand" option to "-xscrollcommand", "view" - widget command to "xview", for compatibility with other widgets. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Changed sel.last to refer to character just *after* last one - selected, again for compatibility with other widgets. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - For "delete" widget command, second index now refers to character - just *after* last one to delete. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Overhauled bindings to be more Motif-compatible and to include - common Emacs bindings for editing. - - Changed -width option: if specified as 0, widget sizes to fit - its current text. - -6/11/94 (new features) Improved Motif compatibility: - - Added "-highlightwidth" and "-highlightcolor" options to all widgets. - -6/27/94 (bug fix) Postscript generation for text items in canvases was -not justifying the text properly when a -width was specified that was -longer than the longest line. - -6/27/94 (bug fix) "winfo exists" used to report a window as existing -if it was in the process of being destroyed (i.e., a destroy handler -is in the middle of execution). Changed to report it as non-existent -under these conditions. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -7/11/94 (bug fix) Selections claimed via "selection own" weren't always -being cleared properly when the selection was claimed away. Also fixed -bug where Tk wasn't properly claiming the selection, if there haven't -been any recent X events at the time of the claim. - -7/13/94 (feature changes) Overhaul of scrollbar widgets: - - New widget commands: "activate", "cget", "fraction", and "identify". - - New options: -activebackground, -activerelief, -highlightcolor, - -jump, -highlightthickness, and -troughcolor. What used to be - -background is now -troughcolor, -foreground is now -background, - and -activeforeground is now -activebackground. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Added new syntax for "set" command, "get" result, and generated - commands. Changed other widgets to use the new syntax. - - Moved the bindings out of C and into Tcl scripts, using the new - options and widget commands. Added support for all Motif - bindings, plus jump scrolling and cancelling of slider drags. - -7/16/94 (bug fix) Canvases assumed that the Leave event for one item -didn't modify or delete the next current item; this could cause core -dumps under some conditions. - -7/23/94 (feature change) Modified Tk_BackgroundError so that tkerror -is invoked as an idle handler. If tkerror generates a break exception -then all other queued reports are aborted. - -8/14/94 (bug fix) "cursorOffTime" and "cursorOnTime" were confused in -canvases, resulting in the same time being used for both. - -8/16/94 (bug fix) "tkwait variable" command didn't detect errors in -variable name, such as trying to wait for an entire array. - -9/2/94 (new features) Overhaul of scale widgets: - - Floating-point values are supported now, following Paul Mackerras' - "fscale" widget. Added "-resolution" and "-digits" options. - - Added "-variable" option to link scale to variable, following - Henning Schulzrinne's implementation. - - Added focus highlight (-highlightthickness and -highlightcolor - options). - - Added new widget commands "cget", "coords", "identify", plus - improved "get"; removed wired-in bindings, added complete set - of Motif bindings via Tcl scripts. - - Changed -sliderforeground option to -background, -background to - -troughColor, -activeforeground to -activebackground. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Moved value label from below horizontal scales to above the scale, - for Motif compliance. - -9/9/94 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkWm.c that caused long delays in "raise" -command under some conditions (window already at the top of the stack). - -9/10/94 (new features) Overhaul of label/button/checkbutton/radiobutton -widgets: - - Added focus highlight (-highlightthickness and -highlightcolor - options). - - Added new widget command "cget". - - Changed -selector option to -selectcolor, and changed its meaning - too: empty no longer means don't draw the indicator; it means - don't use a special color when selected. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Added -indicatoron (controls whether indicator is displayed) and - -selectimage (gives special image to display when selected) options. - - Modified bindings to be more Motif-like, added binding for space - key. - - Changed padding defaults to give widgets correct Motif appearance - by default. Also, changed to ignore padding options when displaying - an image or bitmap. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Can now display text on multiple lines: newlines cause line breaks, - and word wrapping can be requested with -wraplength option. Also - added -justify and -underline options. - - The -value option for radiobuttons can now have an empty string as - its value; it no longer defaults to the name of the widget. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -9/13/94 (new features) Modified both canvases and messages to support --highlightthickness and -highlightcolor options plus "cget" widget -command. - -9/19/94 (new features) Added Tk_UnsetGrid procedure, modified widgets -to use it. Also changed Tk_SetGrid so that at most one window per -toplevel can have gridding enabled. - -9/23/94 (new features) Major overhaul of listbox widgets: - - Added focus highlight (-highlightthickness and -highlightcolor - options). - - Added new widget command "cget". - - Revised selection commands to support single selections as well - as multiple disjoint selections; syntax of "selection" widget - command has changed to support this. Added new option -selectmode - for specifying which mode to use. Default is single selection; - tk_listboxSingleSelect procedure no longer exists. Selections - now return as items separated by newlines instead of a list whose - elements are the items. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Extended "get" widget command to allow many items to be retrieved - at once. - - Added "bbox" widget command for finding position of an element on - screen. - - Added "activate" command to mark element with traversal focus. - - Extended index mechanism to support new types of indices: - "active", "anchor", "@x,y". - - Added "see" widget command. - - Revised bindings to include all Motif features except for AddMode. - - If -width or -height option is <= 0, the widget requests a size just - large enough to hold all of its text. - -10/6/94 (new features) Overhaul of menubuttons: - - Added focus highlight (-highlightthickness and -highlightcolor - options). - - Added new widget command "cget". - - Added -indicatoron option to display option menu indicator. - - The -menu option must be a child of the menubutton. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -10/6/94 (new features) Overhaul of menu widgets: - - Added new widget commands "cget" and "entrycget". - - Changed the implementation of tear-off menus to be more - Motif-like; added -tearoff option for specifying whether - tearoff entry is displayed. - - Changed interpretation of "@y" index: it now returns the - closest entry, rather than "none" if y is outside the menu's - range. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - The -menu option for a cascade entry must now be a child of - the menu. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Added "type" widget command, so that you can query the type of - an entry. - - Added -foreground, -activeforeground, -selectcolor, -indicatoron, - -image, and -selectimage options to menu entries. - - Changed "selector" menu option to "selectColor" for Motif compliance. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Added -relief option for menus, just for consistency with other - widgets (it was implicitly "raised" before). - -10/6/94 (feature change) Completely overhauled the bindings for menus -and menubuttons. They now fit better with other Tk 4.0 facilities, -such as the new binding mechanism, and they provide better Motif -compliance (e.g. keyboard traversal of submenus). Also, the bindings -now support option menus, popup menus, and proper Motif tear-off -menus. - -10/6/94 (obsolete features) The procedures tk_menuBar and -tk_bindForTraversal are no longer needed in Tk 4.0. They still exist -for compability, but they do nothing. - -10/6/94 (new procedures) Added "tk_popup" procedure for posting a -popup menu, and "tk_optionMenu" for creating an option menubutton -and its associated menu. - -10/6/94 (change in name) The variable "tk_priv" has been renamed -to "tkPriv" to reflect that fact that it is private to Tk now. -This shouldn't cause any problems, since no-one except Tk should -have been using it before anyway (right?). - -10/6/94 (bug fix) Fixed bug in texts where sometimes the text would -stop tracking mouse motion (the "current" item wouldn't get updated) -because the text widget missed a ButtonRelease event. - -10/20/94 (new features) Overhauled selection code to support multiple -selections (primary, secondary, etc.) and multiple displays: - - Changed "selection" command to support new options such as - "-displayof" and "-selection". Old command formats are still - supported for compatibility, but they are no longer documented - and are deprecated. - - Changed procedures Tk_GetSelection, Tk_CreateSelHandler, and - Tk_ClearSelection to take additional "selection" argument. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Selection targets APPLICATION and WINDOW_NAME have been replaced - by TK_APPLICATION and TK_WINDOW. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -10/20/94 (new features) Added support for clipboard: - - New "clipboard" command. - - C procedures Tk_ClipboardClear and Tk_ClipboardAppend. - - Bindings for "cut", "paste", and "copy" for text and entry widgets, - plus "copy" binding for listboxes. - -10/24/94 (bug fix) Button widgets weren't checking for errors when -setting the values of associated variables. - -11/3/94 (bug fix) Fixed bug whereby Tk would hang if "exit" was invoked -from inside a <Destroy> binding. - -11/15/94 (new features) Overhaul of focus mechanism: - - Added support for multiple displays: separate focus windows are - kept for each display. - - Added support for keyboard traversal. - - Changed focus model so Tk keeps track of a focus window for each - top-level window and automatically sets the focus on Enter to the - top-level. Tk no longer synthesizes FocusIn and FocusOut events, - but just uses the standard X mechanisms. There is no "default" - focus window anymore; the focus reverts to top-levels by default. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Changed focus command: eliminated "focus default" and "focus none", - added "-displayof" and "-lastfor" options. An empty string is now - used to signify "no focus" instead of "none". - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Added library procedures tk_focusNext, tk_focusPrev, and - tk_focusFollowsMouse. - - Removed obsolete Tk_CreateFocusHandler: must use FocusIn and - FocusOut events now. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -11/23/94 (new features) Overhaul of "send" command: - - Added support for multiple displays: -displayof option to "send". - - Added asynchronous sends: -async option to "send". - - Eliminated fixed timeouts on sends: as long as the target - application appears to exist, the send will wait for it. - - Stale entries get removed from the application registry now, - so "winfo interps" should never return non-existent applications. - - Can change the name of an application with "tk appname" command. - This is also the preferred way of querying the application name - now. - - The errorCode and errorInfo variables are now propagated back to - the sender now, so a full stack trace is available. - - Tk checks display security on each send now, instead of just during - initialization, so changes in the security status are seen immediately - by all applications. - - The above changes required changes to the data formats used for - communication between source and target applications, so Tk 4.0 - applications cannot send to, or be sent from, Tk 3.6 applications. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - The procedure Tk_RegisterInterp has been replaced with Tk_SetAppName. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -12/6/94 (cleanup) Eliminated "interp" argument to Tk_GetColorByValue, -since it is no longer needed. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -12/7/94 (feature change) Changed the "wm" command so that top-level -windows are now resizable by default. You can no longer specify -empty arguments to "wm maxsize" and "wm minsize". -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -12/8/94 (new feature) Added new "photo" image type using code provided -by Paul Mackerras: currently supports only PPM "P6" format images. - -12/14/94 (new features) Canvas modifications: - - Modified the interfaces between generic canvas code and the item - types so that it's easy for people to write new item types outside - of Tk. - - Added support for transparent bitmap items: just specify an - empty string as the background color. - - Changed the "xview" and "yview" commands for canvases to use the - new scrolling syntax. - - Eliminated -scrollincrement option. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -12/14/94 (bug fix) Fixed bug where the dimensions of canvas arrowheads -scaled during a "scale" widget command, but the scaling was only -temporary and got lost on the next re-configure of the item. The -correct behavior is for the arrowheads not to scale. - --------------------- Release 4.0b1, 12/23/94 ------------------------- - -12/26/94 (bug fix) Removed obsolete demos from Makefile (color, dialog, -size), fixed "install" target. - -1/3/95 (bug fix) Fixed all procedure calls to explicitly cast arguments: -implicit conversions from prototypes don't work when compiling under -non-ANSI compilers. Tk is now clean under gcc -Wconversion. - -1/4/95 (bug fix) Used "screenX" without ever setting it in DisplayText -in tkCanvText.c: caused tabs in canvas text items to get messed up. - -1/4/95 (bug fix) Canvases forgot to register the built-in types if -Tk_CreateItemType was called before a canvas widget was created. - -1/4/95 (bug fixes) Fixed glitches in various text bindings: - - Up used to do nothing if the cursor was at 2.0. - - Right used to make the cursor invisible if it was just before - the final newline of the text. - - Control-t didn't conform to Emacs; made it conform to GNU Emacs. - - Deleted Control-x binding, since it doesn't conform to anything and - is confusing for Emacs users. - -1/4/95 (bug fixes) Changed Control-t for entries just as for texts (see -above) an deleted Control-x for entries (see above). - -1/4/95 (bug fix) The packer didn't map slaves unless the master was mapped; -this could cause slaves to get "lost" so that they weren't mapped until the -master resized. - -1/5/95 (bug fix) Scrollbars weren't executing the proper code the first time -the mouse entered the widget; this caused problems if tk_strictMotif was -set. - -1/6/95 (bug fix) Fixed label/button/checkbutton/radiobutton/menubutton -widgets to allow arbitrary screen distances when specifying -width and --height for an image or bitmap (the manual pages already documented this -but the code didn't implement it). - -1/6/95 (new feature) Added very primitive support for input methods, -as suggested by Martin Forssen. This should be enough for European -character sets (Compose key) but it isn't near enough for Asian -character sets. - -1/8/95 (bug fix) Fixed problem in canvas "xview" and "yview" commands -where divide-by-zero errors could sometimes occur. - -1/8/95 (bug fix) New event handler didn't properly handle files for -which both TK_READABLE and TK_WRITABLE were specified. - -1/11/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug with text selections: was returning count -too high for data, causing bogus garbage to appear when selection was -copied. - --------------------- Release 4.0b2, 1/12/95 ------------------------- - -1/27/95 (feature removal) Removed %D substitution from binding scripts: -wasn't portable, shouldn't be used anyway. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -1/27/95 (new features) Added -displayof options to the commands -"winfo atom", "winfo atomname", "winfo containing", "winfo interps", -and "winfo pathname". - -1/27/95 (new feature) Added "idle" option to "after" command to run -scripts as idle handlers. - -1/28/95 (new feature) Modified placer to make -x and -relx additive -if you specify both. Same for -y and -rely, -width and -relwidth, -and -height and -relheight. This makes it easy to make request such -as "make .a 2 pixels larger than .b". -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -1/28/95 (new feature) Improved auto-grab mechanism in canvases (which -prevents current item from changing while a button is down): changed -to report Enter and Leave events for the current item while a button -is down. However, as before, no Enter events are reported for other -items until the button goes up. - -1/28/95 (new feature) Bitmap images are now transparent if the -background -is specified as an empty string (-maskdata and -maskfile are ignored in -this case). This is also the default. - -1/28/95 (bug fix) Tk didn't support manufacturer- or site-specific keysyms -such as SunAudioMute. Modified tkBind.c so that it uses XStringToKeysym -in addition to its own hash table, so that all keysyms are now available. - -1/30/95 (feature change) Modified "clipboard append" so that it reclaims -the clipboard selection if it had been previously lost, rather than just -generating an error. This handles certain race conditions more cleanly, -and also allows the use of programs like "xclipboard". - -1/30/95 (new feature) Added -xscrollincrement and -yscrollincrement -options to canvases. - -1/31/95 (bug fix) Geometry management was broken if a particular geometry -manager claimed a slave away from itself. - -1/31/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkVisual.c where a visual with fewer bits -than requested was being selected in preference to one with just the right -number of bits. - -1/31/95 (bug fix) Texts weren't redisplaying the padding region properly -after changes in -padx or -pady. - -1/31/95 (new features) More text improvements: - - Extended "insert" widget command for texts to allow multiple - text-tagList pairs in the same command. - - Added -nocase option to "search" widget command. - - Added -overstrike option to tags. - - Added tab stops, via -tabs option for widget and for tags. - -2/10/95 (bug fix) Modified all widgets to allow renaming of widget -commands. Deleting a widget command will delete the widget. - -2/11/95 (new feature) Added -highlightbackground option to all widgets. - -2/14/95 (new feature) Added "insert" widget command for menus. - -2/15/95 (new feature) Modified text display code (for all widgets) to -display well-known control characters like newline and backspace as -\n or \b instead of \xa. - -2/15/95 (bug fix) Modified bitmap and photo image managers to delete -the image command when the image is deleted. Also modified them to -allow renaming of the image command, and to delete the image if the -image command is deleted. - -2/15/95 (bug fix) Fixed text widgets to allow horizontal scrolling -even if wrapping was enabled, if a line isn't entirely visible due to -a large character or embedded window. - -2/16/95 (feature change) Added "postcascade" widget command to menus, -changed "invoke" and "activate" not to post or unpost submenus. Also -fixed bug in redisplay that tended to leave bits of garbage on menu -when submenu unposted. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -2/16/95 (feature removal) Removed "snap back" behavior (slider -snaps back to old position if you move the mouse outside the widet -before releasing the button) from scrollbars and scales. - -2/16/95 (bug fix) The last line of a listbox wasn't being displayed if -it was only partially visible. - -2/16/95 (new features) Added support for "-resolution 0" (no rounding -of values) to scale widgets, plus smarter computation of how many digits -to display. - -2/17/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug in text bindings for things like Shift-Left: -didn't properly set the anchor position. - -2/20/95 (bug fix) Changed management of COLORMAP_WINDOWS property to -add the toplevel implicitly to the end of the list if it wasn't already -on the list somewhere. Without this, some window managers implicitly -put it at the front of the list, so that colormaps in internal windows -are never used. - -2/20/95 (bug fix) Changed to use separate command procedures for -button, checkbutton, label, and radiobutton commands. This allows the -class commands to be renamed without breaking their behavior. - -2/20/95 (removed feature) The "bind" command no longer supports -"Keymap" events; they never worked anyway. - -2/20/95 (bug fix) The text "search" widget command looped infinitely -when searching an empty text. - -2/20/95 (bug fix) Canvases weren't redrawing their borders after -configuration changes. - -2/20/95 (upgrade) Changed to use autoconf version 2.2. - -2/21/95 (bug fix) Fixed several bug fixes in menu bindings that occur -when menus have no entries. - -2/21/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug in geometry management that caused windows -packed -in siblings to not always be mapped and unmapped properly -(particularly when the toplevel got unmapped and mapped). - -2/22/95 (bug fix) Fixed resource leak problem in tkTextDisp.c that -caused embedded windows not to be unmapped when off-screen. - -2/23/95 (bug fix) "After cancel" dumped core when the script for an -after event cancelled itself. - -2/24/95 (bug fix) Text and entry widgets weren't properly ignoring -Alt-, Control-, and Meta- keystrokes, so a widget-specific binding -for one of these resulted in the character also being inserted. - -2/24/95 (bug fix) Several widgets accidentally performed unsigned -division on negative numbers, thereby losing the sign bit. This -mostly affected the display of images and bitmaps in buttons, -menubuttons, and messages. - -2/24/95 (feature reversal) Restored old behavior of %A so that it -returns non-printing characters as well as printing ones now. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with Tk 4.0b2, but not with Tk 3.6 *** - -2/24/95 (bug fix) Duplicate "leave" events could occur for canvas -items under some conditions, due to recursive calls to PickCurrentItem. -Added code to detect and skip the nested calls. - -2/24/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug where an error could occur during the first -keystroke in an application if its binding invoked "break". - -2/25/95 (new feature) Modified syntax of "search" widget command for -texts. The -nowrap switch and the "variable" final argument are no -longer supported. Instead, there is a -count switch to replace -the final argument; if the final argument is specified, it is now -a stopping index for the search. The features of -nowrap can be -achieved now with the stopping index. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with Tk 4.0b2, but not with Tk 3.6 *** - -2/27/95 (bug fix) Fixed problem that appears to prevent keyboard -input for working under IRIX: tkBind.c was ignoring XmbLookupString -calls that returned a status of XLookupBoth. - -2/27/95 (new feature) Added Tk_GetItemTypes procedure to return -information about available canvas item types. - -2/27/95 (feature change) Changed Makefile to always use install-sh -for installations: there's just too much variation among "install" -system programs, which makes installation flakey. - -2/27/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkSend.c that caused core dumps if -the app's main window was destroyed by a destroy handler on a -child. - -3/5/95 (feature change) Change separator character used in "bind +..." -bindings from semi-colon to newline (permits bindings that are -comments, for what that's worth). - -3/7/95 (bug fix/feature change) Overhauled focus code, both in C -and in Tcl: - - Tk won't move the X focus in response to the "focus" command - unless either the application already has the focus or the - -force switch is specified. - - Tk no longer sets the X focus to anything other than top-levels; - it synthesizes events for FocusIn and FocusOut to children. - - A window no longer has to be viewable when focussed to; Tk will - set the X focus later, when the window becomes viewable. - - Added -takefocus option to all widgets. - - Rewrote tk_focusPrev and tk_focusNext to use the -takefocus option. - These procedures no longer set the focus; they just return the - next window in focus order. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with Tk 4.0b2, but not with Tk 3.6 *** - - Eliminated tk_focusContinue. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with Tk 4.0b2, but not with Tk 3.6 *** - -3/8/95 (new feature, bug fix) Added support for tk_strictMotif variable -in C: Tk_StrictMotif library procedure. Modified buttons, menubuttons, -menus to use it. This fixes the problem with menus not supporting -tk_strictMotif properly in Tk4.0b1 and b2. - -3/16/95 (feature overhaul) Overhauled color management: - - Changed Tk so it never denies a color request because a colormap - filled up. Instead, it allocates the closest available color. - - Eliminated "color model" mechanism. The "tk colormodel" command - is gone, as are the procedures Tk_GetColorModel and Tk_SetColorModel. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Changed 3D border implementation to allocate colors for shadows - lazily, so they're never allocated if they're never used. Also - added new feature whereby stippling is used for borders when - the colormap has run out of entries. Changed arguments to many - of Tk_3D C procedures to take a Tk_Window as argument instead of - a (Display *). This is needed to do lazy color allocation. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - - Eliminated colormap argument to Tk_GetColor, Tk_GetColorByValue, - and Tk_Get3DBorder. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -3/16/95 (feature change) Event bindings created from Tcl will now ignore -Enter, Leave, FocusIn, and FocusOut events with detail NotifyInferior. -This is done in anticipation of mega-widgets, so that the user of a -mega-widget can create Enter/Leave bindings on the mega-widget without -seeing spurious events as the mouse moves among the windows in the -mega-widget. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -3/17/95 (feature change) Changed C interfaces throughout Tk to use ints -instead of unsigneds: the unsigneds turn out to cause subtle problems -with arithmetic in some places, and using ints everywhere is just -simpler. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -3/23/95 (bug fix) Selections longer than 4000 bytes were being -truncated to 4000 bytes. - --------------------- Release 4.0b3, 3/24/95 ------------------------- - -3/25/95 (bug fix) Changed "install" to "./install" in Makefile so that -"make install" will work even when "." isn't in the search path. - -3/25/95 (bug fix) Modified Tk's selection mechanism to prevent core -dumps in other applications during retrievals of large selections -(this is actually a bug in the other apps, but I've patched Tk to -keep it from getting triggered). - -3/25/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug where X window for "." wasn't being -deleted. - -3/27/95 (bug fix) Fixed many bugs associated with having more than -one application in a single process. - -3/28/95 (bug fix) The "search" widget command for texts didn't -return the correct index and count if there were embedded widgets -on the same line as the returned range but before the end of -the range. - -3/28/95 (bug fix) Changed pasting via button 2 in text and entries -so that it inserts at the pointer location, not the location of -the insertion cursor. - -3/28/95 (bug fix) Fixed several bugs related to <Destroy> bindings -that delete ancestors in the window hierarchy. Also eliminated -extraneous calls to XDestroyWindow, which speeds up window deletion -by about 3x. - -3/28/95 (bug fix) Several widgets (buttons, menubuttons, menus) didn't -properly handle image deletions that occurred while the widget was -being deleted (caused core dumps). - -3/29/95 (bug fix) When retrieving long selections from text widgets, -parts of lines were getting duplicated in the selection information. - -4/1/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug that caused infinite loop in horizontal -scales with 0 range. - -4/1/95 (bug fix) Fixed problem with -command option for scrollbars and --takefocus option that caused commands to be evaluated in the wrong -context. - -4/1/95 (bug fix) Fixed problem with option database that caused it to -sometimes use the wrong option (wasn't flushing the database properly -after a change in a window's class). - -4/1/95 (bug fix) If a line in a text widget just barely fit in the window, -Tk was allocating a second screen line just for the newline character. - -4/1/95 (new feature) When backspacing in an entry widget, when you reach -the left edge of the widget, the insertion cursor gets recentered. - -4/1/95 (new features) Added "winfo pointerx" and "winfo pointery" commands -to fetch the current pointer position. - -4/6/95 (bug fix) If the last line of a text widget was only partially -visible, it was counted as visible for purposes of the scrollbar. Now -it is treated as if it were off-screen for scrolling purposes. - -4/6/95 (new feature) Modified "bell" command to reset screen saver as well. - -4/6/95 (feature change) Modified menu scanning (where menus pull down -as you drag across their menubuttons) so it only works among menus -in the same toplevel; it used to work for any menubuttons in the -application. - -4/6/95 (bug fix) Canvas text items weren't allowing real numbers in -"@x,y" notation for specifying indices. - -4/7/95 (bug fix) Menus didn't display correctly when -activeborderwidth -was large. - -4/7/95 (bug fix) Changed "clipboard append" command to support -- option -and to always treat the last argument as data, even if it starts with -"-". - -4/17/95 (new feature) Added -wrap option to text tags. - -4/18/95 (bug fix) Listboxes and texts weren't updating their grid information -when -width or -height changed. - -4/18/95 (bug fix) "Down" didn't work right in text widgets if the last -line was only partially visible in the window. - -4/19/95 (bug fix) Listboxes didn't handle partially visible last lines -right: couldn't scroll it into full visibility, for example. - -4/20/95 (bug fix) If a toplevel was positioned with a command like -"wm geometry . -0-0", the window didn't reposition itself to maintain -that geometry after a size change. - -4/21/95 (feature change) Changed order of binding tags so widget bindings -fire before class bindings. New order is: widget, class, toplevel, all. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with Tk 4.0b3, but not with Tk 3.6 *** - -4/23/95 (new feature) Added "winfo colormapfull" command. - -4/23/95 (new feature) Buttons and radiobuttons and checkbuttons now -treat Return the same as Space, unless tk_strictMotif is set. - -4/23/95 (bug fix) Modified menu tear-off procedure to duplicate the -binding tags and bindings of the original in the copy. - -4/25/95 (bug fix and feature change) Modified mechanism for choosing -"best" visual to fix a bug where depth wasn't really getting highest -priority in all situations. - -4/28/95 (bug fix) Failed text searches starting at "end" could result -in an infinite loop in Tk. - -4/30/95 (new feature) Added "wm resizable" command to enable and -disable interactive resizing. - -4/30/95 (new feature) Added "window names" widget command to texts: -returns a list of all embedded windows. - -5/2/95 (feature change) Changed text searches so that forward searches -start at the given index, rather than the character just after the -given index. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with Tk 4.0b3, but not with Tk 3.6 *** - -5/4/95 (bug fix) Default bit gravity for windows was wrong (it was -ForgetGravity) causing unnecessary flashing when windows were resized. - -5/4/95 (feature change) Modified Tk_DoOneEvent so that it doesn't -sleep if there's nothing that will wake it up again (e.g. no file -or timer handlers). Returns 0 immediately. - -5/5/95 (configuration change) Changed to use BSDgettimeofday instead -of gettimeofday on systems like IRIX where BSDgettimeofday is -available. This avoids compilation problems due to the different -interface to gettimeofday provided by IRIX. - -5/5/95 (feature change) Changed binding mechanism so that all bindings -are created immediately at initialization time, rather than waiting -until the first FocusIn or Enter event for a class. - -5/6/95 (feature change) Changed default text for labels, buttons, -checkbuttons, radiobuttons, menubuttons, and messages from " " to -"". - -5/6/95 (bug fix) If the application was destroyed in the middle of -an "update" command, Tk would dump core. - -5/6/95 (bug fix) Changed manual entries to use the standard .TH -macro instead of a custom .HS macro; the .HS macro confuses index -generators like makewhatis. - -5/6/95 (bug fix) Change "wm iconwindow" command to disable button -presses for the icon window. This is needed so that the window -manager can get those events (X only allows button presses to go -to one client for a given window). - -5/9/95 (new feature) When specifying visuals, can now use "best" -with a depth, e.g. "-visual {best 8}" to get the best 8-bit visual. - -5/18/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug with -spacing* options for text widget: -screen distances weren't allowed, only integers. - -5/20/95 (bug fix) Eliminated memory leaks in tkTextDisp.c and elsewhere. - -5/22/95 (color change) Changed the Tk color palette to a gray scheme. -Also added a library procedure tk_setPalette that makes it easy to -change colors on the fly, and a procedure tk_bisque that restores the -previous light brown scheme. - -5/28/95 (bug fix) Modified canvases so that the -width and -height -options refer to the space inside the borders, not the total widget -space. Also changed "xview" and "yview" commands and scroll-increment -rounding to use the pixel just inside the borders, rather than (0,0). - -5/28/95 (bug fix) Several widgets (e.g. entries, buttons, and menus) -didn't properly handle unsets of variables they were tracing, if the -variables were reference through upvars in procedures. - -6/4/95 (bug fix) The placer wasn't rounding window widths right when -both -relx and -relwidth were specified (or -rely and -relheight) so -that rounding errors accumulated. - -6/4/95 (feature improvement) Change parsing of text indices to handle -weird mark and tag names better (e.g. any string ending with ".first" -will now be parsed as a tag name, even if it contains embedded spaces, -etc.). - -6/4/95 (feature change) If a font defines glyphs for control characters, -they are now displayed, instead of translating the character to a -backslash sequence (however, tabs and newlines are still treated -specially; glyphs are not displayed for these characters). - -6/4/95 (bug fix) Modify the implementation of "raise" and "lower" for -toplevels so that it now works under olwm and olvwm. It didn't use to -work, and the problem is really in the window manager, but Tk now -patches around it. However, only "total" raises and lowers work: -raising and lowering relative to a sibling still don't work under -olvwm and olwm. - -6/4/95 (feature change) Modified tab code in texts so that a tab always -occupies at least as much space as a space character. - -6/4/95 (bug fix) The "%t" substitution wasn't being made properly in -Enter and Leave event bindings. - -6/7/95 (new feature) Added support for GIF images. Unfortunately it's -a bit fragile: certain kinds of badly formed images can cause core -dumps; I don't know enough about the GIF reader (taken from giftoppm) -to figure this out. - -6/7/95 (bug fix and feature change) Fixed PPM image reader to be more -flexible about header formats, and added support for PGM images. - -6/7/95 (feature change) Added -outlinestipple option to canvas arc -items, changed "-style arc" to use -outline as the color instead of --fill (the old approach was pretty quirky). -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -6/8/95 (feature change) Modified interface to Tk_Main to pass in the -address of the application-specific initialization procedure. -Tcl_AppInit is no longer hardwired into Tk_Main. This is needed -in order to make Tcl a shared library. - -6/8/95 (feature change) Modified Makefile so that the installed versions -of wish and libtk.a have version number in them (e.g. wish4.0 and -libtk4.0.a) and the library directory name also has an embedded version -number (e.g., /usr/local/lib/tk4.0). This should make it easier for -Tk 4.0 to coexist with earlier versions. - -6/9/95 (new feature) Added -outline and -width options to canvas polygon -items. - -6/9/95 (feature changed) Renamed -decimate in photo widget to -subsample -(decimate wasn't technically correct). -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with Tk 4.0b3, but not with Tk 3.6 *** - --------------------- Release 4.0b4, 6/16/95 ------------------------- - -6/19/95 (bug fix) Colors weren't being rounded correctly in canvas -Postscript generation: caused "white" to appear slightly gray when -the display of the canvas used only 8 bits per color. - -6/20/95 (bug fix) "bbox" widget command for texts didn't return -proper width for tabs. - -6/20/95 (bug fix) Scrollbars didn't always work right for texts: -couldn't scroll all the way to the bottom of the text in a single -drag of the slider. - -6/20/95 (new feature) Added "delta" widget command for scrollbars -(needed for above bug fix). - -6/23/95 (bug fix) Listboxes weren't properly redisplaying their -borders when the were configured to a smaller size. - -6/23/95 (new feature) Added "winfo server" command. - -6/23/95 (bug fix) If a menu was posted, couldn't switch to another -menu with an Alt- key. - -6/24/95 (new feature) Added "winfo pointerxy" command. - -6/25/95 (bug fix) Tk_ParseArgv referenced beyond the end of 0-length -option names. - -6/25/95 (bug fix) Fixed problem in tkOption.c where "cachedWindow" -could get garbage in it if the main window's class was changed by -calling Tk_SetClass. - -6/25/95 (bug fix) Fixed two bugs in menus, one where errors in -variable traces weren't propagated correctly and one where "invoke" -was invoked at the wrong stack level, with the result that variable -traces didn't have access to the right variables. - -6/27/95 (bug fix) tk3d.c wasn't using all the right information -when deciding whether or not to stipple borders, so it stippled -borders even on 16-bit true-color displays. - -6/28/95 (bug fix) Page up and down operations in texts could cause -insertion cursor to drift to the right. Changed tkTextScrollPages -to use upper-left corner of current character, rather than center -of character. - -6/28/95 (bug fix) Changed text widget so that you can't put the -insertion cursor after the last newline in the text. - -6/28/95 (bug fix) Bitmap images didn't allow ~'s in file names. - -6/28/95 (bug fix) Fixed problem that could cause core dumps in the -text widget when dealing with embedded windows (there were problems -if the act of redisplaying caused the window layout to change, which -can happen with embedded windows). - -6/28/95 (bug fix) Texts didn't handle indices with double negatives, -such as ".t mark set insert {insert + -20 chars}". - -6/28/95 (bug fix) Fixed problem where focus didn't always revert to -its prior window after a dialog box was dismissed. - -6/28/95 (bug fix) Fixed problem with "search" widget command returning -incorrect length on some backwards regexp searches. - -6/28/95 (bug fix) Successive "wm iconbitmap . {}" commands could cause -a core dump. - -6/29/95 (new feature) Added -elementborderwidth option for scrollbars -so the -borderwidth can be set to 0 without flattening the arrows and -slider. - --------------------- Release 4.0, 7/1/95 ------------------------- - -7/18/95 (bug fix) %t in event bindings didn't work properly for some -events (e.g. PropertyNotify). - -7/18/95 (bug fix) Changed "exec wish" lines in demo scripts to -"exec wish4.0" to avoid version conflicts. - -7/18/95 (bug fix) Fixed round-off errors in scrolling for texts, -canvases, listboxes, and entries. The error could cause the view -to shift up in a command like "$w yview moveto [lindex [$w yview] 0]". - -7/19/95 (bug fix) Canvases weren't always redrawing borders correctly -when they became unobscured. There were also some problems with -improper refresh after size changes. - -7/19/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug in text index processing that causes -tests textIndex-11.1 and textIndex12.1 to fail on some platforms. - -7/19/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug where 2-second delays were ocurring during -"raise" and "lower" commands for toplevel windows under some window -managers (such as fvwm). - -7/20/95 (bug fix) Text searches were misbehaving when there were embedded -windows on the starting line of the search. The most common symptom is -that Tk would fail to find a match at the starting position for the -search. - -7/22/95 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that could occur in menus if a checkbutton -entry's -variable option referred to an array (or couldn't be read -by the menu C code for some other reason). - -7/22/95 (bug fix) Text widgets didn't update their scrollbars when -changes were made to information that was off-screen. - -7/25/95 (bug fix) Fixed core-dump in tkListbox.c that used to happen -in the command ".l bbox end" if the listbox was empty. - -7/25/95 (bug fix) Page-up and page-down bindings for listboxes didn't -move active element to remain on the screen. - -7/25/95 (bug fix) Patched around H-P compiler problem that results in -core-dumps in tkImgPhoto.c during image handling. - -7/25/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkImgPhoto.c that caused core dumps -(during Tk self-tests and other image uses) on AIX and other machines -where "schar" in tkImgPhoto.c was being defined as "short" instead of -"char". - -7/26/95 (bug fix) The PPM image reader couldn't handle maximum intensity -values other than 255. - -7/26/95 (bug fix) Canvases didn't redraw their borders when the relief -changed from raised to flat. - -7/27/95 (bug fix) Canvases didn't set the scrolling values correctly -when no scroll region was specified. - -7/28/95 (bug fix) Modified menu and tk_dialog scripts to restore any -old grab that might have been in effect before a menu or dialog was -posted. - ------------------ Released patch 4.0p1, 7/29/95 ---------------------- - -8/4/95 (bug fix) Calls to toupper and tolower weren't using the UCHAR -macro, so they didn't always work in non-U.S. locales. (JO) - -8/14/95 (new feature) Added -tearoffcommand option for menus. - -8/16/95 (bug fix) Canvases didn't generate proper Enter and Leave -events if the Leave handler for an item reconfigured the canvas in -a way that made the old current item the new current item again. (JO) - -8/21/95 (bug fix/feature change) When -takefocus was a script, Tk -was allowing window viewability to override it. Changed so that -viewability is now ignored when -takefocus is a script. (JO) - -8/21/95 (bug fixes) Fixed memory leaks in tkSend.c, tkSelect.c, and -tkUnixWm.c (JO). - -8/21/95 (bug fix) Text widgets didn't handle commands like -".t search -backwards foo end 1.0" properly: never found foo.

(JO) - -8/25/95 (bug fix) The "frame" and "toplevel" commands couldn't safely -be renamed, due to a kludgy way that they shared a single command -procedure. Split into separate procedures. (JO) - -8/25/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug in libary/menu.tcl that caused "grab -window not visible" errors for popup menus (and perhaps elsewhere?). (JO) - -8/25/95 (bug fix / new feature) The "gray25" bitmap was really only -12.5% on, not 25%. Added new "gray12" bitmap that is the same as the -old "gray25". "Gray25" is still supported for compatibility, but its -use is deprecated. (JO) - -8/25/95 (bug fix) Scrollbar bindings didn't properly handle case where -B2 is clicked while B1 is already down.

(JO) - -8/28/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug in photo images that caused garbling of -image data in the "put" and "copy" commands if the source data had -only one scan line but had a width less than the width of the target -image. (JO) - -8/29/95 (bug fix) Tk used to refuse to post menus if they had no -entries. This made it impossible for a menu to fill itself the first -time it is posted.

All sources -are now in subdirectories: "generic" contains sources that work on all -platforms, "windows", "mac", and "unix" directories contain platform- -specific sources. (SS) - -9/11/95 (new feature) Added new "notifier" mechanism to allow multiple -implementations of the mechanisms for finding out about events. This -change was necessary to support Mac and PC platforms, but it may also -allow other goodies such as combining Xt and Tk widgets in a single -application. See the new manual entry Notifier.3 for details. (SS) - -9/11/95 (feature change) Changed interface to Tk_RestrictProc so that -(a) it takes a clientData argument instead of display and arg, and -(b) it returns a value that can ask for the event to be discarded as well -as deferred or processed. (SS) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -9/11/95 (new feature) Added TK_WINDOW_EVENTS #define, which is equivalent -to TK_X_EVENTS but is now preferred, since it applies to all platforms. (SS) - -9/11/95 (feature change) Can't export variables anymore because this doesn't -work under Windows DLLs. Eliminated tk_NumMainWindows variable and replaced -with procedure Tk_GetNumMainWindows. (SS) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -9/11/95 (new feature) Added procedure Tk_PreserveColormap to increment -the reference count on colormaps. Used in photo widgets. (SS) - ------------------ Released patch 4.0p2, 9/15/95 ---------------------- - ------------------ Released 4.1a1, 9/15/95 ---------------------- - -9/22/95 (renamed files) Changed the names of the bitmap images in the -$tk_library/demos/images directory to use the .bmap file extension. (RJ) - -9/22/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug where text widgets could occasionally -display the insertion cursor both at the end of one line and the -beginning of the next. (JO) - -9/25/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug that could cause core dumps when an -application uses multiple screens and a binding destroys the main -window (bind code was using MainInfo structure after it had been -freed). (JO) - -9/25/95 (bug fix) Text widgets sometimes scrolled backwards on -occasion if you dragged down past the bottom of the scrollbar. (JO) - -9/25/95 (bug fix) Fixed bug in menus where a cascaded submenu posted -from a torn-off menu could be left posted if mouse was pulled off the -end of the cascade and released. (JO) - -9/25/95 (new feature) Added "--" switch to wish, so that you can -pass arguments like -n through to a script without having wish -interpret them. (JO) - -9/25/95 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that could occur for radiobuttons -and selectbuttons if -selectcolor was an empty string. (JO) - -9/26/95 (bug fix) Entries didn't used to notice if a trace procedure -on the -textvariable overrode a new value set by the entry. This -could cause the variable to get out of sync with the contents of the -entry. (JO) - -9/26/95 (new feature) Added -sliderrelief option to scales, changed -default bindings to change the slider's relief to sunken while it's -being dragged with the mouse. (JO) - -9/26/95 (bug fix) TkColor.c wasn't computing colormap size correctly; -could result in X Protocol error for QueryColors when colormaps run -out of colors. (JO) - -9/26/95 (bug fix) Wish couldn't handle script files with spaces in -their names. (JO) - -9/27/95 (cosmetic clean-up) Removed extraneous spaces to make error -messages consistent: ": should be" is now ": should be". (JO) - -9/27/95 (feature change) Modified tk_dialog so that it uses the -option database for the -wraplength option on the message. This -allows the option to be overridden by the caller. (JO) - -9/28/95 (bug fix) Wish incorrectly parsed the command line under -Windows, causing backslashes to be substituted. (SS) - -9/28/95 (bug fix) Wish now sources wishrc.tcl instead of .wishrc. (SS) - -9/28/95 (bug fix) Tk_DoOneEvent returned 0 under some circumstances -when it was possible to find more work to do. For example, if a -signal interrupted select(), but no event handlers were triggered, it -would return 0 even though it could still detect events by reentering -select(). (SS) - -9/29/95 (bug fix) "winfo interps" caused a crash under Windows. (SS) - -10/1/95 (feature change) Eliminated Tk_NotifyIdle interface in favor of -Tk_IdlePending. (SS) - -10/1/95 (bug fix) Turned motion event collapsing into an idle handler -so it will be easier to move the event loop into Tcl. (SS) - -10/1/95 (bug fix) Fixed several problems with negative coordinates -in canvases. One example: dragging a canvas rectangle with a wide -border and fractional coordinates could leave junk on the screen -if the rectangle was in negative coordinate space. (JO) - -10/2/95 (bug fix) Tk was improperly handling Enter/Leave events -during a button grab. (SS) - -10/2/95 (new feature) Added support for the Macintosh do script -('dosc') event. Available only on the Macintosh. (RJ) - -10/4/95 (new feature) Added support for compiling with VC++. -Resulting binaries work under Win32s through NT. - ------------------ Released 4.1a2, 10/6/95 ---------------------- - -10/10/95 (new feature) Macintosh Tk now supports the complete set -of X cursors that Unix Tk supports. (RJ) - -10/11/95 (bug fix) Tk now supports all of the X11 cursors under -Windows. (SS) - -10/11/95 (bug fix) The "wm resizable" command was missing from the -Windows version of Tk. (SS) - -10/12/95 (bug fix) Macintosh Tk had problems with clipping toplevel -windows that children of any frame other than another toplevel. (RJ) - -10/13/95 (bug fix) Eliminated dependency on MKS toolkit for generating -the tk.def file from Borland object files. (SS) - -10/16/95 (bug fix) Fixed clipping and update problems relating to -the raising and lowering of overlapping windows on Mac. (RJ) - -10/30/95 (bug fix) When focus-follows-mode (invoked via tk_focusFollowsMouse), -was focussing on windows even in situations where keyboard traversal would -skip the window. Changed to use the tkFocusOK procedure so that the -criteria for focussing are the same in both modes. (JO) - -11/2/95 (bug fix) Changed listbox bindings to ignore double-clicks. -This avoids errors that used to occur if a user defined a binding -for double-click that deleted the listbox. (JO) - -11/3/95 (feature change) Moved most of the Tk event loop to Tcl. Many -Tk_ names have become Tcl names now: - -TK_READABLE => TCL_READABLE -TK_WRITABLE => TCL_WRITABLE -TK_EXCEPTION => TCL_EXCEPTION -TK_DONT_WAIT => TCL_DONT_WAIT -TK_WINDOW_EVENTS => TCL_WINDOW_EVENTS -TK_FILE_EVENTS => TCL_FILE_EVENTS -TK_TIMER_EVENTS => TCL_TIMER_EVENTS -TK_IDLE_EVENTS => TCL_IDLE_EVENTS -TK_ALL_EVENTS => TCL_ALL_EVENTS -Tk_IdleProc => Tcl_IdleProc -Tk_FileProc => Tcl_FileProc -Tk_TimerProc => Tcl_TimerProc -Tk_TimerToken => Tcl_TimerToken -Tk_BackgroundError => Tcl_BackgroundError -Tk_CancelIdleCall => Tcl_CancelIdleCall -Tk_CreateFileHandler => Tcl_CreateFileHandler -Tk_CreateTimerHandler =>Tcl_CreateTimerHandler -Tk_DeleteFileHandler => Tcl_DeleteFileHandler -Tk_DeleteTimerHandler =>Tk_DeleteTimerHandler -Tk_DoOneEvent => Tcl_DoOneEvent -Tk_DoWhenIdle => Tcl_DoWhenIdle -Tk_Sleep => Tcl_Sleep -tkerror => bgerror - -Other than the name changes, the functions are the same. In addition, -there are #defines in tk.h so that the old Tk names will still work. -tkerror and bgerror are specially hacked as synonyms, so it should be -safe to use either one. You should switch to the new Tcl names ASAP, -though, since the old Tk names will eventually be desupported. (JO) - -11/7/95 (features removed) As part of moving the event loop to Tcl, -the following procedures were deleted: - - Tk_EventInit (the presence of the event loop in Tcl should - make this unneccessary). - - Tk_CreatFileHandler2 (you can get the same effect by using event - sources in Tcl, but you have to modify your code to use the new - Tcl APIs). - - All of the stuff in the manual entries Notifer.3 and QueueEvent.3; - this has changed because the notifier got reworked when it was - moved to Tcl. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -11/7/95 (feature change) Changed to use exit handler to cleanup windows -in Tk, so Tk no longer needs to have a private copy of the "exit" command. -(JO) - -11/7/95 (bug fix) If wish was invoked with a command-line geometry and -a script file (e.g. "wish foo.tcl -geometry 30x20"), and if one of -the windows created by the script used the -setgrid option, then the -width and height from the command line were lost. (JO) - -11/8/95 (bug fix) The "see" command didn't work quite right for texts: -if the window was small and you try to "see" a line just offscreen, -Tk centered the line (actually, mis-centered it) when it should have -aligned it at the top or bottom. (JO) - -11/9/95 (bug fix) The "send" command crashed if you tried to send to -a different display with "-displayof". (JO) - -11/9/95 (bug fix) The Symbol font didn't print right in Postscript -output, because of changes made to re-encode fonts to get proper -ISO Latin1 behavior. Changed the code not to re-encode the Symbol -font. (JO) - -11/13/95 (bug fix) Fixed Makefile.in and configure.in for UNIX so that -configure can be run from a clean directory separate from the Tcl source -tree, and compilations can be performed there. (JO) - -11/17/95 (bug fix) If a window was gridded, Tk still computed the -default maximum dimensions in pixel units, which resulted in windows -that could grow much larger than the screen. (JO) - -11/17/95 (bug fix) If a menus entries were all disabled, posting -the menu and typing Up or Down caused an infinite loop, locking -up the screen (JO). - -11/19/95 (bug fix) The focus wasn't being restored properly after a -menu selection in a cascaded menu. (JO) - -11/19/95 (bug fix) Menubutton's didn't stipple display their images -differently when disabled. Change to have the same behavior as buttons: -the image is stippled over in the background color when the menubutton -is disabled. (JO) - -11/21/95 (bug fix) Changes in display attributes such as font could -cause core dumps in the text widget under some circumstances involving -line wrapping. (JO) - -11/22/95 (bug fix/new feature) Changed both the placer and the packer -to ensure that slaves are unmapped whenever the master is unmapped. -This saves time that slaves might otherwise spend trying to redisplay -themselves when they're unmapped. (JO) - -11/22/95 (bug fix) Space and return keys didn't work for menus if -they were posted via Alt-x keystrokes. (JO) - -11/24/95 (bug fix) tk_dialog procedure had binding for <Return> that -always activated default binding, even if input focus was in some -other binding. Removed this feature, since existing focus support -will already "do the right thing". (JO) - -11/24/95 (bug fix) Both canvases and texts could dump core if a binding -(such as ButtonRelease on an internal item) deleted the widget. (JO) - -11/24/95 (feature change) Replaced "configInfo" file with tkConfig.sh, -which is more complete and uses slightly different names. Also -arranged for tkConfig.sh to be installed in the platform-specific -library directory. (JO) - -11/24/95 (bug fix) It was possible for a slave to be placed or packed --in itself, with unpleasant consequences. It is now an error for the -slave to be its own master for geometry management. (JO) - -11/25/95 (bug fix) The -command option of scales was sometimes being -invoked spuriously (e.g. when the mouse moved in the scale without a -button down). This was because the scale wasn't rounding properly -when setting the scale value from its associated variable. (JO) - ------------------ Released patch 4.0p3, 11/28/95 ---------------------- - -12/18/95 (feature change) Moved Tk_Preserve, Tk_Release, and -Tk_EventuallyFree to Tcl, renamed to Tcl_Preserve etc. Added #defines -to tk.h so that the old names still work. (JO) - -12/23/95 (bug fix) If a single process had > 1 Tk application, Tk -didn't guarantee that the application names were unique, which could -cause all sorts of confusion with "send". (JO) - -12/23/95 (feature change) Eliminated Tk_CreateMainWindow and moved -all of its functionality to Tk_Init. All that you need to do now -to get Tk in an application is to call Tk_Init. Improved Tk_Init -so that -colormap and -visual command-line arguments are now passed -through to TkCreateFrame. Tk_Main is much simpler now, since a lot -of its functionality has moved to Tk_Init. (JO) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -12/23/95 (new feature) Added support for Tcl_StaticPackage so -that Tk can now be loaded into slave interpreters with the "load" -command to create new applications. (JO) - -12/23/95 (new features) Added support for -colormap and -visual command- -line options for wish. (JO) - -1/4/95 (bug fix) Fixed keyboard code to properly handle alt-key -sequences for international keyboards and menu-accelerators. (SS) - -1/5/96 (bug fix) Scrollbar code sometimes generated errors on accesses -to tkPriv(relief) during control-clicks. (JO) - -1/9/96 (new feature) added the "grid" command to provide a table based -geometry manager. (SU) - -1/12/96 (performance optimization) Changed the way tag information is kept -in the text's Btree so the cost of adding and removing tag ranges is no longer -proportional to the number of unique tags in the text. In the old system -the cost of adding N unique tags was O(N-squared). The new implementation is -optimized for tags that only cover a small amount of text, measuring from -their earliest tag range to the end of their last range. In the best case the -cost of adding a tag range is unrelated to the number of unique tags, so the -cost of adding N tags is only O(N). In the worst case, where all tags -cover all the text, the cost is still O(N-squared) to add N such tags. -Deleting tags still has an O(N) cost (so deleting N tags is O(N-squared), -but it is now a factor of 2 faster than the old system. (BW) - -1/12/96 (new feature) added the text "dump" operation that returns information -about all elements in a text widget: text, tags, marks, and windows. (BW) - -1/12/96 (new feature) added the text "mark next" and "mark previous" operations -to search forward and backwards for the next (previous) mark in the text. (BW) - -1/12/96 (new feature) added the text "tag prevrange" operation to search -backwards for the current or previous range of a tag. (BW) - -1/16/96 (new feature) Added support for relative widget placement on -the "grid" command. (SU) - -1/17/96 (new feature) Modified the Makefile/configure setup to support -compiling Tk as a shared library. Use the --enable-shared option to -the "configure" script. (JO) - ------------------ Released 4.1b1, 1/26/96 ----------------------- - -2/2/96 (bug fix) Frames were getting a default size of 200x200, whereas -there should be no default. (JO) - -2/2/96 (bug fix) Argc wasn't getting reset properly after Tk removed -the arguments it understood from those on the command line. (JO) - -2/6/96 (bug fix) Fixed off by one error in argument parsing code under -Windows. (SS) - -2/6/96 (bug fix) "wm transient" now works under Windows. The resulting -toplevel is created with a modal dialog box frame and will not appear -in the taskbar under Windows '95. (SS) - -2/9/96 (bug fix) Changed Makefile.in to use -L and -l for Tcl and Tk -libraries so that shared libraries are more likely to be found correctly -on more platforms. (JO) - -2/14/96 (feature change) Eliminated tk_CanvasTagsOption variable because -it can't be exported safely across DLL boundaries. Instead, exported -Tk_CanvasTagsParseProc and Tk_CanvasTagsPrintProc procedures for -use by canvas type managers in creating their own custom options. (JO) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -2/14/96 (bug fix) "winfo pointerxy" when applied to a non-toplevel window -crashed wish. (SS) - -2/14/96 (bug fix) "tkwait visibility" would hang under Windows. (SS) - -2/14/96 (bug fix) Cursors were not being updated until an enter event. -In cases where the cursor left the toplevel and reentered before Tk -noticed, the cursor would get "stuck" until the next enter event. -Similarly, if the cursor attribute of a window was updated while the -mouse was in the window, the cursor would not change until the next -time the mouse entered the window. (SS) - -2/15/96 (bug fix) If a top-level was resizable in one direction -(e.g. "wm resizable . 0 1"), once the user resized it any changes -in the internally requested size (by the widgets) were ignored, -even for the non-resizable dimension. Fixed to handle the two -dimensions totally independently, so the widget's requests are -honored as long as that dimension hasn't been set by the user. (JO) - -2/17/96 (bug fix) If a text widget had very long lines (e.g. more than -32K pixels), integer overflow could occur, resulting in parts of the -line not being visible. (JO) - -2/20/96 (feature change) Changed the -minsize option of grid to take -screen units instead of pixels. (SU) - -2/20/96 (bug fix) grid row and column weights are compared against -MINWEIGHT (0.001) instead of 0.0 to guard against divide by zero errors -during weight normalization. (SU) - -2/20/96 (bug fix) Menu commands were not being invoked sometimes. -There was a race condition that caused events to be processed while a -menu was being unposted. (SS) - ------------------ Released 4.1b2, 2/23/96 ----------------------- - -2/23/96 (bug fix) Alt-keys invoked in torn-off and popped up menus -caused menus to be posted in the parent toplevel. (JO) - -2/23/96 (bug fix) Canvases weren't always updating their scrollbars -when they should. (JO) - -2/23/96 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that could occur if a WM_DELETE_PROTOCOL -handler generated an error. (JO) - -2/24/96 (bug fix) Removed dependencies on Makefile in the UNIX Makefile: -this caused problems on some platforms (like Linux?). (JO) - -2/24/96 (feature change) Changed text and entry widgets so that they -set the insertion cursor before inserting during a button-2 click. -Also made optional bindings check for tk_strictMotif at the time of -the event, rather than at the time the bindings are created. (JO) - -2/24/96 (bug fix) Tk tended to crash with an X error when unsetting -an icon window (e.g. "wm iconwindow . {}"). (JO) - -2/25/96 (bug fix) Wasn't removing windows from the WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS -property when they were deleted. (JO) - -3/1/96 (new feature) Added new "bbox" widget command for entries. -Also modified mouse bindings for entries and texts so that the -mouse position rounds to the nearest inter-character gap, rather -than the left edge of the character under the mouse. This provides -more natural selection behavior. (JO) - -3/1/96 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that could occur in image code if an -image was deleted while in use in a widet, then re-used in another -widget while "deleted". (JO) - -3/1/96 (bug fix) Calling wish with a single argument caused a crash -under Windows due to an off-by-one error in the argument parsing code. (SS) - -3/1/96 (bug fix) Palette management was broken and resulted in -incorrect palette realization and refresh behavior. Also, images were -being drawn incorrectly if they were attached to widgets that had a -private colormap. (SS) - -3/2/96 (bug fix) It was possible to press the mouse button over an -option menu, drag to a pulldown menu, and have the pulldown menu -popup in place of the option menu. Fixed this so that option menus -are isolated from each other and from pulldowns. (JO) - -3/2/96 (bug fix) Fixed yet another bug that caused long delays when -raising toplevel windows. (JO) - -3/2/96 (bug fix) Fixed bug in canvases where zero-sized rectangles -and ovals didn't always redisplay right (could leave trailing -garbage on screen when moved). (JO) - -3/2/96 (bug fix) Entry widgets reset their insertion cursor, selection, -and view whenever the text variable changed, plus whenever a "configure" -widget command was invoked and there was a text variable for the -widget. Fixed to preserve this information as much as possible. (JO) - -3/5/96 (new feature) Added version suffix to shared library names so that -Tk will compile under NetBSD and FreeBSD (I hope). (JO) - -3/6/96 (bug fix) Changed the way certain configure & motion events are -reported. This fixes several bugs in menus & "winfo rootx". (RJ) - -3/7/96 (bug fix) Fixed tag remove bug that showed up when draging out a -selection. If you had dragged left, then tried to drag back right, the -left edge of the selection wasn't being updated because the tag remove -wasn't doing anything. (BW) - -3/7/96 (bug fix) Fixed the boundary conditions of tag prevrange. The second -index argument wasn't effecting in stopping the search if it fell within -a range. The second index has to come at or before the start of a range -for the range to be found by tag prevrange. (BW) - -3/7/96 (bug fix) "puts" to stdout or stderr when running from a script -caused wish41.exe to exit silently. Now the output is silently -discarded without generating an error. (SS) - -3/7/96 (bug fix) Fixed bug where wish was treating empty lines in the input -as end of input, if the input came from stdin. This would cause it to -complain about missing closing braces etc. (JL) - ------------------ Released 4.1b3, 3/8/96 ----------------------- - -3/9/96 (bug fix) Fixed bug in text.tcl that could cause errors in text -widgets of the form 'can't use non-numeric string as operand of "-"'. (JO) - -3/12/96 (feature improvement) Modified startup script to look in several -different places for the Tcl library directory. This should allow tk -to find the libraries under all but the weirdest conditions, even without -the TK_LIBRARY environment variable being set. (JO) - -3/14/96 (bug fix) "wish bogus_file_name" didn't print an error message. (JO) - -3/14/96 (bug fix) Button-2 wasn't claiming the focus during paste -operations. (JO) - -3/14/96 (bug fix) "tkwait visibility" use to hang forever if its window -was deleted. Now it detects this condition and returns an error. (JO) - -3/16/96 (bug fix) Changed configuration stuff to get dynamic loading and -shared libraries working under AIX. (JO) - -3/16/96 (bug fix) Fixed core dumps that could occur when a slave interpreter -was deleted in the middle of executin bindings. (JO) - -3/18/96 (new feature) Added support for Activate/Deactivate events. -Currently, these new X events will generated only on the Macintosh. (RJ/CS) - -3/21/96 (bug fix) The "tag prevrange" command would fail to return the current -range if it began at 1.0 and the starting point of the search was within -the range. (BW) - -3/21/96 (configuration improvement) Changed configure script so it -doesn't use version numbers (as in -ltk4.1 and libtk4.1.so) under -SunOS 4.1, where they don't work anyway. (JO) - -3/22/96 (bug fix) Made Tk more robust against interpreter deletion. Now it -should be safe to delete an interpreter with a Tk application inside it, -without first deleting the Tk application. (JL) - -3/26/96 (bug fix) Tk now returns results from a "send" to an interpreter -in which the Tk application is destroyed, if the interpreter continues -computing after the Tk application is destroyed. Previously any results -computed after '.' was destroyed in the target interpreter were discarded -by the "send". (JL) - -3/26/96 (new feature) Tk now provides a static Tktest package which is -present only in test versions of Tk; this allows the testing commands to -be loaded into new interpreters besides the main one. (JL) - -3/28/96 (bug fix) Changed the tk_dialog procedure *not* to make the -dialog a transient for its parent. The old behavior meant that the -dialog did not get posted if the parent was iconified. (JO) - -4/5/96 (bug fix) Tk would occasionally crash when destroying toplevels -under Windows. (SS) - -4/5/96 (bug fix) Fonts were not being properly deallocated, causing -GDI resources to be consumed and never released under Windows. (SS) - -4/11/96 (bug fix) Toplevel windows with no specified geometry were -always appearing in the upper left corner of the screen under -Windows. (SS) - -4/11/96 (bug fix) "wm minsize" did not properly report the minimum -size imposed by the Windows window manager. (SS) - -4/13/96 (bug fix) Text widgets could dump core in some cases where -text was inserted on the top visible line. (JO) - -4/16/96 (bug fix) Changed menu code to ignore errors that occur when -restoring a grab: the old grab window might not be visible anymore. (JO) - ------------------ Released 4.1, 4/21/96 ----------------------- - -5/1/96 (bug fix) "option readfile" did not handle files with CRLF -line termination. (SS) - -5/1/96 (bug fix) Changed to install tkConfig.sh under "make install-binaries", -not "make install-libraries". (JO) - -5/7/96 (bug fix) Moved initScript in tkUnixInit.c to writable memory to -avoid potential core dumps. (JO) - -5/7/96 (bug fix) Changed tk_dialog back so that the dialog box is a -transient window again. This is needed to make sure that the dialog -box doesn't get obscured. Also changed it to return -1 if the dialog -window is deleted before the user presses a button. (JO) - -5/16/96 (bug fix) Fixed bug that caused core-dumps if a text widget -with -setgrid 1 was deleted by removing its command. (JO) - -5/16/96 (bug fix) Fixed bug that caused Tk initialization to use improperly -initialized variables left over from previous invocation of Tk_Init on -another interpreter. (JL) - -5/16/96 (new feature) Implemented application embedding on Windows -platforms (only Tk inside another application, not the other way yet). (JL) - -5/16/96 (new feature) Added C API Tk_SafeInit that adds Tk to a safe -interpreter. (JL) - -5/16/96 (bug fix) Fixed bug that caused Tk initialization to use improperly -initialized variables left over from previous invocation of Tk_Init on -another interpreter. (JL) - -5/16/96 (new feature) Implemented application embedding on Windows -platforms (only Tk inside another application, not the other way yet). (JL) - -5/16/96 (new feature) Added C API Tk_SafeInit that adds Tk to a safe -interpreter. (JL) - -5/22/96 (bug fix) Listboxes weren't properly ignoring double clicks on -button 1. (JO) - -6/12/96 (bug fix) Focus was automatically placed on new toplevels. -This caused the titlebar to flash during menubar traversal. (SS) - -6/12/96 (bug fix) Iconification of a window with a specified geometry -by using the minimize button would leave the window in an inconsistent -state. When the window was deiconified using "wm deiconify", the -window would continue to display as an icon with the deiconified -geometry. (SS) - -6/12/96 (bug fix) Fixed a resource leak where the text widget was not -freeing all of the TkRegions it created. This fix affects all -platforms, but is particularly important for Win32s. (SS) - -6/21/96 (configuration change) Added --enable-gcc switch to configure -script to make Tk just like Tcl. Now Tk will not use gcc unless you -request it explicitly. (JO) - -7/18/96 (bug fix) Changed "configure" script to add an extra -R switch -(or whatever is appropriate to the platform) if the X library is in a -nonstandard place. This guarantees that the shared library can be -found at runtime without having to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. (JO) - -7/19/96 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkImgGIF.c that cause core dumps if a -GIF file contained multiple images. (JO) - -7/20/96 (bug fix) Deadlock could occur if a recursive series of send -operations involved multiple displays. (JO) - -7/23/96 (bug fix) Fixed a resource leak where deallocated XIDs were -taking up memory on Windows and Macintosh platforms. (SS) - -7/30/96 (bug fix) A core dump could occur if a <Destroy> handler for -a window tried to create a child in the half-dead window. Fixed by -making the window's name disappear from the name table once it starts -to be deleted. (JO) - ------------------ Released patch 4.1p1, 8/2/96 ----------------------- - -4/30/96 (new feature) Added support for named virtual events. New "event" -command to define/destroy named virtual events and to programmatically -send both real and virtual events to Tk. (CS) - -8/6/96 (bug fix) Entry widgets were invoking scrollbar update functions -too often. (JO) - -8/9/96 (bug fix) 7/30 change above for <Destroy> handlers broke many -things by making window available during Destroy handler. Reworked -fix for core dump to simply disallow creating children of half-dead -parents. (JO) - -8/12/96 (bug fix) Fixed bug where using the Copy menu item on the -Macintosh would append a NULL character at the end of the text. (RJ) - -8/15/96 (bug fix) Fixed Mac code so garbage wouldn't be printed in -text and entry widgets when function & other non-printing keys were -pressed. (RJ) - -8/15/96 (configuration improvement) Changed the file patchlevel.h -to be tkPatch.h. This avoids conflict with the Tcl file and is now -in 8.3 format on the Windows platform. (RJ) - -8/19/96 (bug fix) Fixed a bug under Windows where the initial window -position for a toplevel window was reported as +0+0, regardless of the -actual position. (SS) - -8/21/96 (bug fix) If the last character on a line in a text widget was -a space character that didn't completely fit, the text widget would -sometimes add an extra wrap line. (JO) - -8/22/96 (feature change) Complete rewrite of the grid geometry manager. -There is a new layout algorithm that produces better (but different) -layouts in many common cases. (SU) - -8/22/96 (new feature) There are two new options for the grid geometry -manager, "grid update" which forces an immediate layout calculation, -and a "-pad" option to rowconfigure and columnconfigure that allows for -extra space around widgets. (SU) - -8/22/96 (feature change) The order in which the grid geometry manager -reports slaves is now last-managed first. (SU) - -8/22/96 (feature change) The column and row weights in the grid -geometry manager are kept internally as integers, instead of floating -point values. Floating point values are still accepted on the command line, -but are truncated to integers. (SU) - -8/22/96 (new feature) There are four new commands for opening common -dialog boxes: tk_chooseColor, tk_getOpenFile, tk_getSaveFile and -tk_messageBox. Native dialog boxes are used wherever available. (IL) - -8/22/96 (new demos) Added "fsbox", "msgbox" and "clrpick" demos. (IL) - -8/23/96 (feature change) Invoking the edit menu on the Macintosh now -generates the following virtual events <<Cut>>, <<Copy>>, <<Paste>>, -and <<Clear>> instead of faking key events. (RJ) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -8/25/96 (bug fix) Fixed a bug that would cause "grid x" to dump core. (SU) - -8/26/96 (new feature) Added the "unsupported1" command to the -Macintosh version of Tk. This command will allow you to set the style -of a new toplevel Window (much like overrideredirect). You can use -this to get access to all of the Native Mac window styles. This is to -hold you over until we get a more general solution added to the -toplevel command. (RJ) - -8/26/96 (new feature) Added support to handle the zoom box on a -Macintosh window. (Currently, you can only get a Tk window with a -zoom box by using the "unsupported1" command. (RJ) - -8/27/96 (documentation change) Removed old change bars (for changes in -Tk 4.1 and earlier releases) from manual entries. (JO) - ------------------ Released 4.2b1, 8/30/96 ----------------------- - -9/5/96 (bug fixes) Fixed several bugs in file dialogs: individual files -could be listed twice, if a long list of files were shown, and the view -scrolled to the right, and then a different file file was shown, the -scrollregion on the canvas wasn't being reset, so the file dialog was -broken from then on, added an update idletasks so that the watch -cursor was shown when the dialog was thinking. For the motif file -dialog, fixed the weights for resizing. On the clrpicker, fixed the -finalColor variable which caused problems when the OK button was -"clicked" before the dialog was mapped (in the test suite). Added Ioi's -last changes from before he left. For message boxes, if a single button -message box is shown (currently only 'ok'), it is set to be the default -even if not specified. (KC) - -9/5/96 (bug fix) Fixed bug on Macintosh where menus would appear in a -seemingly random location. (RJ) - -9/5/96 (bug fix) Text widgets had rounding problems with the "yview" -command that caused them sometimes to round to the line before the -correct one. (JO) - -9/5/96 (bug fix) Changed grab code to retry grabs after errors where -another application already has the grab. This is needed to get -around race conditions with some window managers and will hopefully -solve the grab errors that people see occasionally. (JO) - -9/6/96 (bug fix) Fixed x-y coordinate confusion problem with scaling -of window items in canvases. (JO) - -9/11/96 (bug fix) The open and save file dialogs would change the -current working directory under Windows. (SS) - -9/12/96 (bug fix) The Tk event system was delivering events to dead -windows, if the event handler got reentered during a Destroy event -handler. This could cause core dumps and other problems. (JO) - -9/20/96 (bug fix) In XFillRectangles under Windows, a brush was not -being deallocated. (SS) - -9/20/96 (bug fix) The Mac window manager used to generate a mouseUp -event for a top level that was recently raised to the front/active -window which often caused a tk(priv) error. The up event is no -longer generated with solves several problems. (RJ) - -9/25/96 (bug fix) The font code under Windows was leaking memory -whenever a new font was referenced using the three part font names. (SS) - -9/26/96 (bug fix) The tests for the common dialogs still used the 'testevent' -function. I updated these calls in clrpick.test, msgbox.test, filebox.test -to use the new event gereating mechanism. - -9/18/96 (bug fix) Long-standing bug in bind where <Button-1><Button-1> was -reported as <Double-Button-1>, but <Double-Key-a> was reported as "aa". (CS) - -9/27/96 (bug fix) Bindings didn't work on 64-bit machines due to changes -made for virtual events. (CS) - -9/30/96 (feature change) Binding for new virtual events included both -lower and upper-case, e.g., <<Copy>> was defined as <Control-c> and -<Control-C>. Previously, widgets were directly bound to only lower-case -bindings. The upper-case binding caused incompatibility with some existing -Tcl programs, so the upper case bindings for <<Cut>>, <<Copy>>, and <<Paste>> -were removed. (CS) - -9/30/96 (bug fix) The postscript code in the canvas widget now uses -channels to get and write .ps files which fixed a bug on the Mac where -an output file would have mixed EOL characters. In addition, I added -the ability for the prolog to come from the Tk shared library on the -Mac which makes it possible to have a standalone application. (RJ) - -10/1/96 (feature change) "grid forget" was renamed "grid remove". A new -command "grid forget" was added whose semantics are the same as "pack forget" -(SAU) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -10/1/96 (feature change) grid no longer accepts floating point values for -row or column weights, integers must be used. (SAU) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -10/1/96 (feature change) "grid {column,row}configure <master> <index>" -returns a list of option value pairs for all of the row or column -constraints. It used to return an error. (SAU) - -10/1/96 (bug fix) "The way grid handles '^' short-cuts was re-written -to eliminate core dumps. (SAU) - -10/3/96 (feature change) A virtual event binding associated with a -given physical event is now considered less specific than a binding for -that same physical event, all other things being equal. (CS). - -10/3/96 (bug fix) Under Windows text placed on the clipboard did not -undergo CRLF translation when delivered to other applications. (SS) - -10/3/96 (bug fix) Copying an image onto itself with a zoom factor that -caused the image to grow was accessing freed memory. (SS) - -10/3/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, the image blank subcommand did not -work. (SS) - -10/10/96 (bug fix) Under Windows & Macintosh, XSetFont and XChangeGC -were not implemented, and XSetLineAttributes did not correctly update -the GC. (SS) - -10/10/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, 8-bit non-palette displays were not -handled properly. (SS) - -10/10/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, images of depth other than 8 or 24 -bits were not being rendered properly. (SS) - -10/10/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, bitmap subimages were not correctly -displayed. (SS) - -10/14/96 (bug fix) Under Window, wm resizable would constrain both -programatic resizes as well as user resizes. (SS) - ------------------ Released 4.2, 10/16/96 ----------------------- - -10/17/96 (bug fix) XCopyPlane was broken under Windows and would cause -a crash when used with a clipping bitmap. (SS) - -10/21/96 (bug fix) Added missing resources needed by tk_getOpenDialog -on the Macintosh to the shared library for Tk. (RJ) - -10/22/96 (bug fix) Invoking a menu with an Alt key sequence caused an -error due to a misplaced common in library/menu.tcl. (JO) - -10/23/96 (bug fix) Errors in files sourced by the Macintosh -"Source..." menu are now correctly reported via the background -error mechanism. (RJ) - -10/23/96 (bug fix) Fixed a bug in the Mac subwindow implementation -that caused refreshes to not occur for canvases with embedded -windows. (RJ) - -10/24/96 (bug fix) Provided workaround for Apple bug that doesn't -handle zooming correctly for floating windows. (RJ) - -10/24/96 (bug fix) Macintosh tearoff menus are now correctly -displayed as Mac floating windows. (RJ) - -11/1/96 (bug fix) Restored manual page for procedures like -Tk_CreateWindowFromPath and Tk_DestroyWindow; was accidentally deleted -when Tk_CreateMainWindow procedure was decommissioned. (JO) - -11/19/96 (bug fix) Fixed bugs in postscript code that would cause the -prefix to not be included and the output file to have the wrong -permissions. (RJ) - -12/2/96 (bug fix) Fixed problem with canvas lines where it didn't -compute bounding boxes correctly for zero-width lines: this could -potentially leave garbage on the screen when items were deleted or -moved. (JO) - -12/5/96 (bug fix) Fixed the Macintosh implementation of pointer x/y -which was returning garbage. (RJ) - -12/6/96 (bug fix) Fixed grid bug where the positioning of slaves was -incorrect for non-zero values of ipadx and ipady (SU) - -12/6/96 (bug fix) Fixed grid bug where slaves got "lost" when an -already managed slave is re-managed in a different master. (SAU) - ------------------ Released 4.2p1, 12/8/96 (Mac only) -------------- - -1/17/97 (bug fix) Fixed bug where the Tk clipboard was not in sync -with the Macintosh clipboard on start-up. (RJ) - ------------------ Released 4.2p2, 1/31/97 -------------- - ----------------------------------------------------------- -Changes for Tk 4.2 go above this line. -Changes for Tk 4.3 go below this line. ----------------------------------------------------------- - -9/19/96 (improvement) Implemented table driven mechanism for deciding -whether a command is safe. If it is added by Tk_Init and it appears in the -table then it is kept, otherwise it is removed in a safe interpreter. (JL) - -10/18/96 (new feature) Added support for application embedding: - - Frame and toplevel widgets now have a -container option, which - turns the widget into a container. - - Toplevel widgets have a -use option for requesting that the - widget be embedded in another application. - - Wish also supports a -use command-line option. -Embedding is fully supported under Unix, but the implementation is -not complete under Windows or the Macintosh (it works just well -enough to support the Tcl/Tk plugin). (JO) - -10/22/96 (bug fix) The commands "winfo rootx" and "winfo rooty" didn't -work for non-toplevel windows in embedded applications: they returned -the coordinates of the nearest toplevel. (JO) - -12/02/96 (new feature) Implemented Safe Tk. Tk can now be loaded into a -safe interpreter that has been created with tcl_safeCreateInterp, by -calling load {} Tk interpname. (JL) - -12/02/96 (new feature) A safe Tk interpreter can no longer generate -postscript output from a canvas. (JL) - -12/02/96 (new feature) Added -channel option to photo command to allow -image data to be read from a channel. This is useful in safe Tk -interpreters where the data cannot be read directly from a file. (JL) - ----------------------------------------------------------- -Changes for Tk 4.3 go above this line. -Changes for Tk 8.0 go below this line. ----------------------------------------------------------- - -9/1/96 (new features) The font mechanism in Tk has been completely -reworked: - - Font names need not be nasty X LFDs: more intuitive names like - {Times 12 Bold} can also be used. See the manual entry font.n - for details. - - Font requests always succeed now. If the requested font is not - available, Tk finds the closest available font and uses that one. - - Tk now supports named fonts whose precise attributes can be - changed dynamically. If a named font is changed, any widget - using that font updates itself to reflect the change. - - There is a new command "font" for creating named fonts and querying - various information about fonts. - - There are now officially supported C APIs for measuring and - displaying text. If you use these APIs now, your code will - automatically handle international text when internationalization - is added to Tk in a future release. See the manual entries - MeasureChar.3, TextLayout.3, and FontId.3. - - The old C procedures Tk_GetFontStruct, Tk_NameOfFontStruct, and - Tk_FreeFontStruct have been replaced with more portable procedures - Tk_GetFont, Tk_NameOfFont, and Tk_FreeFont. - *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** -(CS) - -9/24/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, transient windows would be destroyed -if their master was destroyed, even if the transient window was not a -child of the master. (SS) - -10/18/96 (new features) A -menu option has been added to the toplevel -widget command, which allows a menu to operate as a menubar. On the -Macintosh, the menubar is displayed accross the top of the main monitor, -just like with other applications. Under Windows and Unix, the menu is -attached to the toplevel window. Also, changed some semantics. -Tearoff menus will now reflect changes to the menu it was -torn off from, and are deleted when the main menu is -deleted. Tearoffs also reflect more look-and-feel of the -platforms they are running on. (SRP) - -10/31/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, missing system cursors would -generate an error instead of falling through to the Tk cursor of the -same name. (SS) - -11/7/96 (feature change) Under Unix, default borderwidth is now 1 to -more closely approximate CDE. (SS) -Note: this change was undone on 6/12/97, restoring the default border -width to 2 again. (JO) - -11/7/96 (new feature) The button widget now supports a -default option -that draws a platform specific default ring around the widget. (SS) - -11/7/96 (feature change) Under Windows, buttons and scrollbars now -have native look and feel. This affects the default class bindings -and the way the some configuration options are interpreted. Refer to -the widget manual pages for more details. (SS) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -11/19/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, images were incorrectly drawn on -16-bit displays. (SS) - -11/19/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, the class name for the main window -(.) was not properly generated from argv0. (SS) - -11/20/96 (bug fix) Fixed a couple of bugs in the Canvas widget. The -postscript file is now created with the correct permissions. Also, -the prolog is now properly included in all cases. (RJ) - -11/22/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, the initial directory and file names -were not properly translated before being passed to the system -open/save file dialogs. So forward slashes were not converted to -backslashes, and tilde substitution was not performed. (SS) - -11/25/96 (feature change) Under Windows and Macintosh, the selection -highlight is now hidden whenever an entry or text widget loses focus. -Also, the previous selection information is not lost when a new -selection is made in a different widget. (SS) - -11/26/96 (new feature) Added support for images as primitive types in -text widgets. (SU) - -11/30/96 (configuration improvement) Modified configure.in to handle the -case where Tcl and Tk are installed in different places by including both -their library directories in the library search path for Tk. (JO) - -12/3/96 (bug fixes) Fixed two bugs related to canvas lines that caused -the screen to be incorrectly refreshed, leaving garbage on the screen. -One bug was related to lines with width zero, and the other was -related to lines with very long miters. (JO) - -12/4/96 (bug fix) The "update" command was only syncing the display -for its main window. Changed to sync all displays. (JO) - -12/5/96 (bug fix) Color deallocation would occasionally cause a panic -under Windows. (SS) - -12/5/96 (bug fix) Errors during startup were silently discarded under -Windows. (SS) - -12/5/96 (bug fix) Errors during startup were silently discarded under -Windows. (SS) - -12/11/96 (bug fix) Text widgets weren't considering the -spacing1 -and -spacing2 options when computing their desired geometry. (JO) - -12/12/96 (feature change) Option menus using tk_optionMenu were -created with command entries that set the option menu's variable in a -command string. This has been changed so that the option menu's -entries are now radiobutton entries so that the entries that matches -the variable is now checked when the menu is posted. (SRP) - -12/12/96 (feature change) The destroy command no longer returns an -error when a window does not exist. (SRP) - -12/13/96 (new feature) grid row/column-configure accepts a list of -indices in addition to a single index. (SU) - -12/17/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, command line was not being parsed -correctly if it contained the literal characters \" (CS) - -12/17/96 (feature change) Native Windows labels do not get a focus-ring -border. (CS) - -12/17/96 (bug fix) Under Windows, colors specified as "#XXYYZZ" where XX, YY, -or ZZ were not valid hex digits were getting a random color value instead of -being an error. (CS) - ------------------ Released 8.0a1, 12/17/96 ----------------------- - -12/23/96 (bug fix) Fixed two menu bugs: - - Menus could get stacked below other windows so that they weren't - visible when posted (especially under olvwm and fvwm). - - Under olvwm if you pressed button 1 over an entry in a new-style - menubar, the menu didn't appear until you moved the mouse slightly. -(JO) - -1/6/97 (bug fix) Focus could accidentally get grabbed by an application -away from the rightful focus owner if the focus recently changed from one -application to another. (JO) - -1/6/97 (bug fix) Under Windows, the console was appearing even for -non-interactive applications. This was a side effect of a general -problem with the wm state of windows that were being mapped for the -first time. (SS) - -1/6/97 (bug fix) Under Windows, the initialization code was not -looking in the right directory for the Tk libraries when the program -being run was not in the Tcl installation heirarchy. (SS) - -1/8/97 (bug fix) Under Windows, the windows were not being unmapped -properly, which led to strange packer behavior. (SS) - -1/8/97 (bug fix) The "winfo containing" command (and the Tk_CoordsToWindow -procedure) didn't work properly on Unix in the presence of embedding or -menubars. (JO) - -1/15/97 (bug fix) Invoking "destroy ." as the command from a menu would -cause Tk to crash because TkMainInfo was freed before menu released its -resources. This bug had already been fixed for scrollbars and buttons. (CS) - -1/15/97 (bug fix) Tk is now working under Win32s again, including Win32 -version 1.25. Fixed separate problems in fonts and dialogs. (CS) - -1/15/97 (feature change) Under Windows, font sizes are now specified in -points, not pixels. The mapping between pointsize and pixels depends on -Windows having accurate metrics for the monitor (plug&play helps). Font -metrics are still reported in pixels. (CS) - -1/21/97 (bug fix) Grid no longer reports rows or columns "out of range" -when requesting their constraints. (SAU) - -1/21/97 (bug fix) Fixed some window manager related bugs on the -Macintosh. Now better support global grabs. (RJ) - -1/21/97 (bug fix) For Windows: Fixed problems with canvas items that -used end caps. Fixed arc implementation to more closely approximate -X. Stippling now works properly on fat lines. (SS) - -1/21/97 (bug fix) Small interlaced GIF images were not properly -decoded. (SS) - -1/21/97 (bug fix) More changes to image code to try to handle 16-bit -displays properly under Windows. (SS) - -1/21/97 (bug fix) Numerous display bugs on Unix and Macintosh are now -fixed. Numerous binding problems for menubars under Unix are now -fixed. Deletion of menu separators under Windows is now fixed. (SRP) - ------------------ Released 8.0a2, 1/24/97 ----------------------- - -1/29/97 (feature change) The -transient field for menus is no longer -supported. There is now a -type field which is used to achieve the -same purpose that the -transient field accomplished. When a menu is -created, the -type field controls whether the menu is a normal -pull-down menu, a floating tearoff menu or a menubar. This option is -normally only used by the library code and internally by the menubar -code. (SRP) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -2/5/97 (feature change) Changed the photo image mechanism to use -Tcl_Channels instead of FILE * as an argument to image matching -functions. The change will make it much easier to write cross -platform image types in Tk. Note: FILE * is no longer used anywhere -in Tk. (RJ) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -2/7/97 (enhancement) Were not allowed to bind to virtual events inside of -canvas or text widget (e.g., "$canvas bind all <<foo>> {script}" or -"$text tag bind sel <<foo>> {script}"); it would return an error -disallowing that binding. Now _can_ bind to a virtual event, but that -binding inside of the canvas or text widget will only fire if the -underlying virtual event definition is of type key, button, motion, -enter, or leave; all other physical event types get filtered out by the -widget before the virtual event mapping is done. (CS) - -2/22/97 (bug fix) Under Unix, "wm geometry +-20+-30" didn't work. (JO) - -2/24/97 (bug fix) The photo image didn't always zero out enough of its -pixel and dither correction arrays. (JO) - -2/25/97 (bug fix) Fixed focus problem that could cause "BadMatch (invalid -parameter attributes)" in X_SetInputFocus requests on Unix. (JO) - -2/25/97 (bug fix and new feature) Added new "gray75" bitmap, fixed -"gray25" bitmap to really be 25% on (due to an ancient mistake, it -had been only 12% on). (JO) - -2/28/97 (bug fix) Windows: made embedding work again on Win32 platform. -Prevent iconification, deiconinification on embedded windows. (JL) - -3/4/97 (new feature) Added the ability to manipulate the Apple and -Help menus on the Macintosh; the system menu on Windows; and to have a -right justified Help menu on Unix. See the documentation for menu.n -for more details. (SRP) - -3/4/97 (bug fix) Prevented core dump at exit if a <Destroy> binding on "." -gets invoked from destroying a nested widget and the binding causes the -interpreter to be deleted. The core dump was being caused by the -interpreter not being Tcl_Preserve'd during the destroy of ".". (JL) - -3/4/97 (bug fix) Under Unix, when embedded Tk is running in a separate -process, correctly handle a race condition: ignore cross-over messages from -the X server for windows that Tk thinks it had already deleted, when the -containing process deletes its container window. Some other race conditions -still remain, e.g. with pixmaps, colormaps and images. (JL) - -3/10/97 (bug fix) Prevented core dump in generic console code due to -following a NULL pointer when the console interpreter was already deleted. -This may happen due to different orders of deletion possible at exit. (JL) - -3/10/97 (bug fix) Fixed bug on Mac and Windows that caused time to be -ignored when considering if a single click was actually a double -click. (RJ) - -3/11/97 (feature change) A major oversight has been that although it was -documented that the Tk programmer was asking for a font in points (1/72 of an -inch), under Unix and Mac Tk was actually asking for a font in pixels, while -only under Windows was it using points. This caused applications to appear -much larger when run under Windows. Now, on all platforms the (purportedly) -correct size in points is used when asking for fonts. However, for -compatibility with existing tk4.2 applications that depend on fonts being of -specified pixel size, XLFDs retain their incorrect behavior of getting a -font in pixels. (CCS) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -3/13/97 (new feature) "tk scaling" command to setup the mapping between -pixels and points. This scaling factor is used by all widgets that accept -ruler distances, not just fonts. (CCS) - -3/24/97 (new feature) Added "-columnbreak" option to menu -entries. When this value is "1", the entry will appear at the top of a -new column in a non-menubar menu. Also added "-hideMargin". Together -with "-columnBreak", menus with palettes are now possible. (SRP) - -3/26/97 (new features and bug fix) Titles for tearoff menus were -broken on the Mac and Windows. Added the ability to set the title of a -menu when it gets torn off and override Tk's automatic generation of -the title. On the Macintosh, whenever a menu -label contains three dots in a row "...", the menu will instead -display the elipses character '…'. (SRP) - -3/27/97 (bug fixes) When a menu had an error executing a postcommand, -the error information was getting lost. On Windows, a set of -menubuttons was not highligting properly when clicking between -windows. On Windows, post commands were getting executed twice for -popup menus. On Macintosh, fixed problem where menubars were not -always current. (SRP) - -4/11/97 (new feature) Menubuttons now have a direction flag which -controls where the menu popups up relative to the button. (SRP) - -4/24/97 (bug fix) Transient windows did not obey the resizable setting -under Windows. (SS) - -4/24/97 (bug fix) wm geometry did not correctly parse negative -coordinates. (SS) - -4/29/97 (bug fix) Changed the canvas polygon implementation to only -report the coordinates specified by the end user not the automatically -generated end point of a self closing polygon. (RJ) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -4/23/97 (feature change) Loosened the rules on parsing font names so that -unix-centric fonts in scripts don't break when run on Windows or Mac. -(1) Previously, an XLFD had to specify font name, weight, slant, and size; -now, a minimal XLFD (such as "*-times-*") will be accepted, and all -unspecified attributes will be given default values. (2) Previously, in the -{name size style ...} format, only the style was optional; now both the size -and the style are optional; this solves the problem of old scripts that -contain specifications of the form "-font fixed" or "-font times". (CCS) - -5/7/97 (new feature) Menus now send a virtual event <<MenuSelect>> -when an item is highlighted in a menu. Applications can use this to -implement context-sensitive help. (SRP) - -5/14/97 (bug fix) Fixed a race condition in the focus code where focus -could be taken away from a window incorrectly. Scenario is that the main -window creates a toplevel and assigns focus to it. When the user moves the -mouse from the main window into the toplevel there was a race between -two different kinds of focus events. (BW) - -5/20/97 (bug fix) Fixed bug where the clipboard was not rendered before -the application exited. (SS) - -5/22/97 (feature change) When a Tk8.0 menu is configured, all menus -derived from it (menubars, tearoff) mirror the changes. This was not -true for the "-tearoff" flag. In Tk4.6, tearoff menus had the -"-tearoff" flag turned off. Now, the "-tearoff" flag is tracked just -as the other options are. Tearoff menus and menubars with the -"-tearoff" option set will not display the tearoff item. This means -that a given menu entry for a menu and a tearoff of that menu will -match now. (SRP) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - ------------------ Released 8.0b1, 5/27/97 ----------------------- - -5/30/97 (bug fix) Made the options to the grid command shortcut-able. -Ie. You can now use -stick, in addition to -sticky. (RJ) - -6/2/97 (bug fix) Fixed bug in startup code that caused a problem in -finding the library files when they are installed in a directory -containing a space in the name. (SS) - -6/2/97 (bug fix) Virtual events associated with <Enter>/<Leave> in text -widget tag caused panic. (CCS) - -6/6/97 (bug fix) On some systems, struct timeval.tv_sec is unsigned. (SS) - -6/6/97 (feature change) Changed -default option on buttons to take -three states: normal, active, disabled. This allows apps to have a -row of buttons where the default ring moves between buttons without -changing the geometry of the buttons. See the button.n manual page -for more details. (SS) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with Tk 8.0b1, but not with Tk 4.2 *** - -6/9/97 (bug fix) Canvas postscript printing now works for bitmaps -under Windows. (SS) - -6/10/97 (bug fix) Fixed bug in bindings for listboxes where state wasn't -being properly initialized on Shift-1 button presses. (JO) - -6/11/97 (bug fix) Text widget display code did not include internal -padding in the damage calculation for borders leading to unrefreshed -sections on Windows and Mac. (SS) - -6/12/97 (feature reversal) Changed default border widths under Unix -back to 2 again. This reverses the change made on 11/7/96. (JO) - -6/13/97 (bug fixes) In canvas text item: the insertion cursor wasn't shown -if insertion point was at end of text item, it was impossible to click to -position the insertion point after the last character, and @x,y indices were -computed incorrectly if -scrollregion had been specified and canvas was -scrolled. (CCS) - -6/13/97 (bug fix) Hitting up/down arrows in a text widget packed in a -toplevel window created with the "-screen" option would cause an error dialog -to pop up. (CCS) - -6/12/97 (bug fix) Fixed bug in canvas text items where multi-line -selections were not highlighted properly. This bug existed only in -earlier releases of Tk 8.0. (JO) - -6/16/97 (bug fix) In some obscure cases, canvas window items could -accidentally specified a 0x0 size for the window, which caused a -BadValue error under X. (JO) - -6/17/97 (bug fix) Tk buttons on the Macintosh will now correctly -draw under MacOS 8.0. (RJ) - -6/18/97 (feature change) Changed the way highlights are drawn in text -widgets so that the empty space to the left of a line is highlighted -whenever the leftmost character of the line is highlighted (the empty -space didn't used to be highlighted). This produces a neater left -edge when several lines are selected. (JO) - -6/18/97 (bug fix) Tk was using the wrong system colors to draw various -widgets under Windows. (SS) - -6/19/97 (bug fix) Under Windows, the "wm transient" and "wm overrideredirect" -subcommands can now be applied to a toplevel to change its window -style at any time during the life of the window. (SS) - -6/19/97 (feature change) All GIF and XBM images needed for the "TK" -file dialog box are included in-line in tkfbox.tcl. (IL) - -6/27/97 (bug fix) Revamped focus code to eliminate most XSetInputFocus -calls from the FilterEvent procedure. This moves the implementation back -towards the Tk 4.2 implementation, but adds embedding support. There is -still a known bug with twm's NoTitleFocus and embedded windows. However, -the races in a2 and the funny focus stealing in b1 are gone. (BW) - -6/25/97 (bug fix) Error message was not properly reported when using -button 'toggle'. (DL) - -6/25/97 (bug fix) Removed one source of memory corruption in tkGrid.c code -(fixes what was exercised by "grid col . 0 -w 1; grid col . 0 -w 25") (DL) - ------------------ Released 8.0b2, 6/30/97 ----------------------- - -7/1/97 (bug fix) Menu shortcut and tearoff reported problem fixed. (DL) - -7/1/97 (new feature) TK_BUILD_SHARED flag set in tkConfig.sh -when Tk has been built with --enable-shared. TK_SRC_DIR added. -A new tkLibObjs make target, echoing the list of the .o's needed -to build a tk library, is now provided. (DL) - -7/9/97 (bug fix) Fixed Tk_CreateFileHandler and Tk_DeleteFileHandler -macros to directly call the Tcl equivalents. (JL) - -7/10/97 (bug fix) On the Mac, if the binding for <<MenuSelect>> was -drawing, the drawing could bleed over into the menus. This is now -fixed. (SRP) - -7/10/97 (bug fixes) Removed duplicate code related to Tk_SafeInit, -made a single init script handling both cases. (DL) - -7/10/97 (feature change) On Unix, to be able to load Tk into a safe -interp you need to set the env(DISPLAY) var. Some API should be -added to allow master crontrol over Tk instantiation. (DL) - -7/11/97 (new feature) On the Mac, menus that are too big for the -screen will now scroll. This is part of the interface on the Mac, -impossible under Windows, and is not done for Unix. (SRP) - -7/21/97 (bug fix) After fixing the bug that in canvas text item the insertion -cursor wasn't shown if insertion point was at end of text item, introduced a -different bug in where clicking in entry widget with 0 characters would -crash or display garbage. (CCS) - -7/22/97 (bug fix) If there were a whole bunch of returns or tabs in a row in -a canvas text item, then the temporary buffer used when outputting -postscript could overflow and overwrite the stack. (CCS) - -7/23/97 (feature change) Reenabled "tkwait" in the Safe Tk base. (JL) - -7/24/97 (bug fix) Single init script for both Win and Unix. -new library/safetk.tcl using features from new tcl safe.tcl (DL) - -7/30/97 (feature change) As a result of native menus, you can no -longer drag through a frame of menubuttons on Macintosh and Windows -and have the menus pop down. You can still click on individual -menubuttons and their menus will pop down. Applications needing to -present a menubar should consider using the new "-menu" configuration -of the toplevel widget to set up menubar which behaves correctly on -Macintosh, Windows and X Windows. (SRP) - -7/31/97 (bug fix) Tk widget commands can now safely be hidden commands. -Previously destroying the widget would potentially leave dangling pointers -and destroy an exposed command instead of a hidden one if an exposed -command by that name existed. (JL) - -7/31/97 (bug fix) On Windows, popup menus were not tracking the right mouse -button correctly if it was used to invoke the menu. On Unix, tearoff -menus were stealing focus when the mouse moving over them even when -focus following was turned off. (SRP) - -8/4/97 (bug fix) Fixed problem under USENIX where raising a toplevel -window could cause an X error if the window had just been withdrawn. (JO) - -8/4/97 (feature change) tkerror and bgerror are not anymore hard links -maintained by the Tcl core. The implementation of bgerror provided by -Tk tries, for backward compatibility only, to to call "tkerror" and -if that fails, falls back to the usual dialog and stack trace option -posting. You can thus still use either "bgerror" or "tkerror" as your -application error handling proc, but using "bgerror" is strongly -recommended as support for "tkerror" will eventually vanish in upcoming -releases. (DL) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY with scripts that were using - the actual hardlink implementation 'features' and with - scripts (if any) that would be calling the default "tkerror" to - simulate error messages (use "bgerror" instead) *** - -8/7/97 (feature change/addition) Removed the gif files used for the -Open dialog box on UNIX (they were previously made inline). Added a -new images directory that includes several images of the Tcl and Tcl -Powered logos. (RJ) - -8/7/97 (bug fix) Fixed focus to deal with embedding when there is -no window manager. (BW) - -8/8/97 (bug fix) Fixed bug in photo image code where photo images from -different interpreters could get confused if they had the same name. (JO) - -8/8/97 (new feature) Added new procedure Tk_GetImageMasterData for -mapping image names to master data. (JO) - -8/8/97 (feature change) Modified Tk_FindPhoto procedure to require -extra "interp" argument (needed for bug fix above). (JO) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -8/8/97 (bug fix) Fixed problems under Windows renaming toplevels with -menubars. Fixed problems on all platforms renaming menu widgets and -using new menus of the same name as an old one as cascades. Fixed a -cosmetic problem with tearoff menus. (SRP) - -8/13/97 (bug fixes) Fixed "-from" option for the "image create" and -"imageName read" commands for GIF images, which didn't used to work -correctly. Also made transparency work correctly for GIF images -without the TRANSPARENT_GIF_COLOR hack; TRANSPARENT_GIF_COLOR is -now ignored. These fixes were provided by Jan Nijtmans. (JO) - -8/13/97 (new feature) added safe::loadTk command to load Tk in a -safe slave interpreter. See the loadTk.n manual page for more -details. (DL) - ------------------ Released 8.0, 8/18/97 ----------------------- - -8/22/97 - (bug fix) Fixed syntax error in tk_popup; option menus now -popup over their selected items like they did in tk4.2. Fixed problem -where cascades sometimes did not work on X. On X, menubars with -checkbuttons and radiobuttons in them would infinite loop when -mappped. (SRP) - -8/27/97 (new feature) Added support for new X11R6 colors under Windows -and Mac platforms. (SS) - -8/29/97 (bug fix) Wish crashed if stdin was closed. (SS) - -9/10/97 (bug fix) "font actual {helvetica 10} -displayof ." wasn't taking -into account the "-displayof" option. This problem also existed for the -"font metrics" and "font measure" commands. (CCS) - -9/16/97 (new feature) Added "resource delete" and "resource files" -command to the Mac. Also fixed "resource write" when the resource -was specified by id and already existed. (JI) - -9/16/97 (bug fix) Added null bindings to <Command-Key> for the -text and entry widget on the Macintosh. This prevents unbound command -key sequences from having the character echoed to the widget. Also -fixed Cut & Copy bindings. (JI) (RJ) - -9/18/97 (bug fix) Revamped Macintosh focus code. Cut, Copy & Paste -virtual events now go to the correct (focus) window. (RJ) - -9/19/97 (bug fix) Made Macintosh tearoff menus non-resizable. (RJ) - -10/9/97 (bug fix) Default font for new canvas text items was hardcoded to -"Helvetica 12" instead of using DEF_CANVTEXT_FONT defined in -tk{platform}Default.h like all the other widget settings. (CCS) - -10/9/97 (bug fix) Image code could cause crashes during "exit" under -some conditions (such as an image named "place"). (JO) - -10/9/97 (bug fix) Fixed bug that sometimes prevented listboxes from -scrolling far enough horizontally to see the rightmost character. (JO) - -10/10/97 (bug fix) In canvas text items, if the text ended with a \n, it -was not counted in the bbox height, as it did in tk4.2. This caused -"hello\n" to be the same height as "hello" and you couldn't see the -cursor positioned on the next line. (CCS) - -10/10/97 (bug fix) The grid geometry manager didn't always properly -forget about windows after a "grid forget" or "grid remove" command: -the windows could reappear on the screen later. (JO) - -10/13/97 (bug fix) Selection could not be restored to a text widget -after "selection clear" on Windows. (SS) - -10/14/97 (bug fix) If a canvas had contained windows that were off-screen, -the windows could sometimes reappear (in the wrong place) if the canvas was -enlarged. (JO) - -10/20/97 (bug fix) Omitting the arguments to the text widget "mark -gravity" option caused a crash. (SS) - -10/21/97 (bug fix) Tk did not reset the result after native dialog -modal loops on Window so background events could perturb the dialog -result. (SS) - -10/23/97 (bug fix) Memory leak in unix's TkpGetFontFamilies. Thanks -to James Bonfield for the fix. (DL) - -10/27/97 (bug fix) Fixed event reporting for the Mac during a grab -when the pointer was out of the toplevel window. (RJ) - -10/28/97 (bug fix) Under Unix, override-redirect was getting set -incorrectly for menus, so that "wm overrideredirect" returned 0. (JO) - -10/28/97 (bug fix) Under Unix, focus code could sometimes cause the -display to deadlock (it wasn't flushing the output buffer after issuing -an ungrab command). (JO) - -10/28/97 (bug fix) If a PPM image file wasn't complete (e.g. it -consisted of nothing but space characters) Tk entered an infinite loop -reading the header. (JO) - -10/28/97 (bug fixes) On the Mac, menubars assigned to toplevels would -disappear after a menu item was invoked from them. On Windows, -clicking a system menu with added items and then again with a -different set of added items would crash. On all platforms, a command -menu entry that caused the entry to be deleted, another one created in -its place, and the replacement deleted would cause a panic. On Unix, -<<MenuSelect>> event bindings were firing every time the mouse moved, -instead of everytime the active menu item changed. (SRP) - -10/27/97 (bug fix) If a particular race condition occurred under Windows, -Tk would crash complaining about trying to free a color that wasn't -allocated. (SS) - -10/28/97 (bug fix) Under Windows, button grabs did not report motion -events that occurred outside of Tk windows. (SS) - -10/28/97 (bug fix) Fixed incorrect display of transparent images on -the Macintosh. (JI) - -10/29/97 (bug fix) Reworked the handling of out-of-range indices in -the widget command for listboxes: there were all sorts of quirks -before (e.g., ".l delete -1" actually deleted the first element -of the listbox). (JO) - -10/29/97 (bug fix) Fixed crash on the Macintosh that could occur if a -window is moved before it is mapped where the X window was created but -the Macintosh port was not. (RJ) - -10/29/97 (bug fix) Fixed several errors in how wm state was maintained -on the Macintosh. Tk now also will iconify a toplevel window on the -Mac if the new Appearance Manager is present. (RJ) - -10/28/97 (bug fixes) In canvas' postscript command: User name -information was leaked in safe interpreters on Unix (security fix). -Errors while reading prolog.ps were not propagated and the error -message was mixed with partial data. Note: postscript output does -not work in safe interpreters on unix and windows. (DL) - -10/28/97 (bug fix) Safe Tk interps on unix were leaking env(DISPLAY). (DL) - -10/31/97 (bug fix) Fixed problems related to the input focus when one -application had windows open simultaneously on several displays. (JO) - -10/31/97 (bug fix) Fixed several problems with traversal of menus via -the keyboard under Unix. (SRP) - -11/4/97 (bug fix) Fixed various word-size related problems for 64-bit -architectures. (SS) - -11/5/97 (bug fix) Embedding on Windows was using freed data (crashing -in safe.test with TCL_MEM_DEBUG). NB: Embedding is still not fully -implemented on Windows ! (It works mostly when Tk is embeded into it's -own Tk frame (safe::loadTk case), but not well with respect to resizing -with a toplevel container or with an external process). (DL) - ------------------ Released 8.0p1, 11/7/97 ----------------------- - -11/20/97 (bug fix) Fixed bug on the Mac where the "package require" -command caused menus to stop working. (JI) - -11/20/97 (bug fix) Fixed bug in rendering transparent gifs on Text -widgets. (JI) - -11/20/97 (enhancement) Made the changes required to work with the new -Apple Universal Headers V. 3.0 so we can compile with CW Pro 2.0 (JI) - ------------------ Released 8.0p2, 11/25/97 ----------------------- - -11/25/97 (security bug fix + added feature) Tk Safe Init now asks -the master's safe::TkInit for the 'argv' to use. This is transparently -dealt with by the safe::loadTk API. New optional "-display displayName" -argument to safe::loadTk, and the "-use" argument accepts both window -Ids and Tk window names: see loadTk(n). Made the ":0.0" default display -work on the Mac as it works on Windows and Unix. (DL) - -12/3/97 (bug fix/optimization) Removed unneeded and potentially dangerous -instances of double evaluations if "if" and "expr" statements from -the library files. It is recommended that unless you need a double -evaluation you always use "expr {...}" instead of "expr ..." and -"if {...} ..." instead of "if ... ...". It will also be faster -thanks to the byte compiler. (DL) - -12/3/97 (new feature) Added support for browser/plugin style embedding, -and made various other fixes to get the plugin working on the Mac. (JI) - -12/8/97 (bug fix) on Windows, using "winfo pathname" before "." was mapped -was crashing. (DL) - ----- Shipped as part of the plugin2.0b5 as 8.0p2Plugin1, Dec 8th 97 ---- - -12/97 (bug fix) more Macintosh embeding fixes needed for the plugin. (JI) - -Jan/9/98 (improvement) Allow applications to have custom init script -without having to patch the Tk core: Tk_Init will use an existing -"tkInit" proc if one exists in the interp where one tries to install Tk -instead of defining it's own (tkInit is the transient proc defined in -generic/tkInitScript.h that searches and sources tk.tcl and defines -the 'correct' tk_library). (DL) - ----- Shipped as part of the plugin2.0 as 8.0p2Plugin2, Jan 15th 98 ---- - -6/3/98 (bug fix) Fixed bugs in the tk_getOpenFile under Unix. - 1) If the -initialdir option was "." the result would be "././foo.tcl" - instead of an absolute path, like the Windows interface. - 2) There is a traceVar on the data(selectPath) where the script was - assumes the window exists. (BS) - -6/12/98 (feature change) Focus -force now sets the foreground window -on Windows platforms in addition to moving the focus. (SS) - -6/12/98 (bug fix) Fixed bug in Windows font measurement that did not -take kerning into account. (BS) - -6/24/98 (bug fix) On Unix, fixed -initialdir switch to tk_getOpenFile -and tk_getSaveFile to convert the specified directory to an absolute -path and to use the current working directory if the specified -directory does not exist. (SS) - -6/25/98 (bug fix) On Unix, both the Tk and the Motif file dialogs -would fail if the -parent flag changed between two parent windows that -had been previously used as file dialog parents. (SS) - -6/29/98 (compatibility patch) Added reserved fields to several Tk -structures to match additions made by Jan Nijtmans dash patch. This -means that extensions can be compiled against the dash patch -and still work with unpatched Tk, and vice versa. - -7/6/98 (bug fix) Added keysym definitions for the new keys on the -Microsoft keyboards. You can bind to <App>, <Win_L>, and <Win_R>, -but you cannot use the Win keys as modifiers. (SS, BW) - -7/6/98 (new feature) Added support for the Macintosh Appearance Manager. (JI) - -7/24/98 (feature change) Eliminated the static variable that sets -tk_library and simplified search order for tk.tcl. The tk_library -variable can now be set before calling Tk_Init to avoid doing any -searches. If it isn't set, then Tk checks env(TK_LIBRARY), relative -to tcl_library, an install directory relative to the executable, a -source directory relative to the executable, and a tk directory -relative to the source heirarchy containing the executable. See the -comment at the top of generic/tkInitScript.h for more details. (SS) - -7/27/98 (bug fix) The bbox for coords in the canvas were incorrectly -including the center of the coord as part of the bound area. (RJ) - -8/4/98 (bug fix) Fixed memory leak in Windows menu code. (SS) - -8/4/98 (bug fix) Fixed bug where bgerror's were not being generated -from menu callbacks on Windows. (SS) - -8/4/98 (bug fix) Alt-key bindings were not being handled properly -under Windows, resulting in annoying beeps. (SS) - -8/4/98 (bug fix) Fixed bug in Windows menubar handling that allowed -a shared menubar to be deleted when any window using it was deleted. (SS) - -8/4/98 (feature change) Introduced TkReadBitmapFile to replace -XReadBitmapFile so that all Tk file opens go through the Tcl channel -mechanism. This lets us wrap applications that define their own -bitmaps and cursors. Note that XReadBitmapFile is no longer -emulated for non-unix platforms platforms (RJ, BW) - -8/5/98 (bug fix) <Insert> binding in entries was masking the virtual -event <<Paste>> binding to Shift-Insert on Windows. (SS) - -8/5/98 (bug fix) wm frame would crash if the window had not been -mapped yet on Windows. (SS) - -8/5/98 (bug fix) Local grabs did not exclude menus or the caption bar -under Windows. (SS) - -8/5/98 (bug fix) Reduced message traffic by setting -WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY on TkChild windows. (SS) - -8/6/98 (feature change) Changed tkInitScript.h to use the new -tcl_findLibrary procedure to locate its script library. (BW) - -8/10/98 (bug fix) Added special case to font code to limit the -length of displayed strings to avoid wrap-around bugs in some -PC X servers when the pixel length of the string exceeds 0x7fff. (SS) - -8/12/98 (bug fix) Macintosh, lock down some of the resources -associated with menus to try and stabilise the menu system -on memory limited machines. (JI) - -8/12/98 (windows build change) Moved the tkConsole.obj into the tk80.dll -on windows. If you build your own Tk main program, you no longer -need to compile and link this yourself. (SKS) - --------- Released 8.0.3 to the Tcl Consortium CD-ROM project, 8/13/98 ------ - -10/5/98 (new feature) Added the event "MouseWheel" that will fire on -Windows applications in response to mouse wheel movement. You can -bind to the MouseWheel event and use the %D substitution to get the -delta the wheel moved. The "event generate" command has also been -enhanced with the -delta flag so you can generate these events from -Tcl. See the bind and event man pages for more details. The listbox -and text widgets' default bindings have been updated to understand -MouseWheel events. (RJ) - -10/12/98 (performance improvement) Added hash table to canvas widget -that holds numeric ids for items. The hash table makes item lookup -almost constant time which improves certain canvas operations -(exspecially for canvases with large number items). Thanks to Mark -Weissman <weissman@gte.com> and Jan Nijtmans <Jan.Nijtmans@wxs.nl> -for submitting this improvement. (RJ) - -10/15/98 (bug fix) The -fill option to text items in the canvas did -not allow the empty string as an argument (meaning transparent) even -though every other item type did. Thanks to Sebastian Wangnick -<sebastian.wangnick@eurocontrol.be> for supplying this patch. (RJ) - -10/20/98 (feature change) The Makefile and configure scripts have been -changed for IRIX to build n32 binaries instead of the old 32 abi -format. If you have extensions built with the o32 abi's you will need -to update them to n32 for them to work with Tcl. (RJ) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -11/10/98 (feature change) The Macintosh menus will use the Appearance -Theme backgrounds, separators and menu shape, if Appearance version -1.0.1 or greater is installed. The version of Appearance that shipped -with MacOS 8.0 so it will not work with a straight 8.0, but it will -with MacOS 8.1 or later. (JI) - ------------------ Released 8.0.4, 11/20/98 ----------------------- - -11/24/98 (bug fix) On some X servers, XQueryLoadFont will always -return a font, even if the name is meaningless. This prevents Tk from -parsing the font name, so now we perform a quick sanity check on the -name before letting X have it. (stanton) - -12/30/98 (bug fix) Fixed bug in "grid forget" that failed to cancel -pending idle handlers, resulting in a crash in a few odd cases. (stanton) - -1/28/99 (configure change) Now support -pipe option on gcc. (RJ) - -2/4/99 (bug fix) Changed so color tables in photo images are freed -immediately instead of being delayed. This ensures that color tables -are properly disposed at process exit. (stanton) - -2/4/99 (bug fix) Changed postscript template to include a European -character with an umlaut when determining font height. (stanton) - -2/4/99 (bug fix) If an image bitmap mask changed but ended up with the -same XID, the GC failed to be updated and so the new mask was -not used. (stanton) - -2/4/99 (bug fix) Changed so focus window is always set if -force is -specified. This fixes the problem on Windows where Tk does not -activate the window if it already has focus. (stanton) - -2/4/99 (bug fix) Fixed so errors in console eval are reported -properly. Eliminated duplicate result messages. (stanton) - -2/4/99 (bug fix) Under Windows, changed so toplevels that aren't -resizable don't have resize handles and the zoom box is disabled. (stanton) - -2/4/99 (bug fix) Changed to cancel the mouse timer when a user -initiated move/resize loop begins on Windows. (stanton) - -2/4/99 (configure change) TK_LD_SEARCH_FLAGS was set incorrectly if -SHLIB_LD_LIBS='${LIBS}', and shared linking is performed through the C -compiler. Systems affected are Linux, MP-RAS and NEXTSTEP, but also -with gcc on many more systems. - -2/4/99 (bug fix) Changed some EXTERN declarations to extern since they -are not defining exported interfaces. This avoids generating useless -declspec() attributes and makes the Windows makefile simpler. (stanton) - -2/4/99 (bug fix) Changed so keyboard shortcuts will only be found in -the current toplevel. Previously, they might be found in menus -attached to other toplevels that might not even be mapped. (stanton) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -2/4/99 (bug fix) Changed to treat zero width lines in the canvas like -they have width 1 for purposes of selection. (stanton) - -2/4/99 (bug fix) Added a workaround for a bug in GetTextExtentExPoint -on Win NT 4.0/Japanese that cause a crash in some cases. (stanton) - -2/4/99 (bug fix) Fixed uninitialized memory access bug in Unix send -code. (stanton) - ----------------------------------------------------------- -Changes for Tk 8.0 go above this line. -Changes for Tk 8.1 go below this line. ----------------------------------------------------------- - -1/16/98 (new feature) Tk now supports international characters sets: - - Font display mechanism overhauled to display Unicode strings - containing full set of international characters. You do not need - Unicode fonts on your system in order to use tk or see international - characters. For those familiar with the Japanese or Chinese patches, - there is no "-kanjifont" option. Characters from any available fonts - will automatically be used if the widget's originally selected font is - not capable of displaying a given character. - - Textual widgets are international aware. For instance, cursor - positioning commands would now move the cursor forwards/back by 1 - international character, not by 1 byte. - - Input Method Editors (IMEs) work on Mac and Windows. Unix is still in - progress. - -7/7/97 (new feature) The send command now works for Microsoft -Windows. It is implemented using Dynamic Data Exchange, and a new -command, dde, allows Tk to send more generic DDE commands to other -applications. (SRP) - -11/3/97 (new feature) Major overhaul of code that manages configuration -options to use Tcl_Obj structures instead of strings: - - There is a new set of procedures including Tk_CreateOptionTable, - Tk_InitOptions, and Tk_SetOptions, which replace Tk_ConfigureWidget - and related procedures. The old procedures are still available. - The new procedures use a new format for configuration tables. - See SetOptions.3 for more information. - - There are new procedures Tk_AllocColorFromObj, Tk_GetColorFromObj, - and Tk_FreeColorFromObj to manage colors using objects to hold the - name of the color and cache the corresponding XColor pointer. - There are similar procedures Tk_Alloc3DBorderFromObj, - Tk_AllocBitmapFromObj, Tk_AllocCursorFromObj, Tk_AllocFontFromObj, - and so on to manage borders, bitmaps, cursors, and fonts. - - The old-style procedures such as Tk_GetColor and Tk_GetBitmap no - longer take Tk_Uids for arguments; they just take strings. - - Menus, labels, buttons, checkbuttons, and radiobuttons have been - converted to use the new object-based configuration library. - (SRP & JO) - -11/7/97 (improvement) Changed code referring to "interp->result" to call -accessor functions like Tcl_SetResult(). - -12/23/97 (fix) Fixed transparency and web optimized the palette of -the images/ Tcl powered logos. (DL) - -12/16/97 (bug fix) Canvas and text "bind" subcommands generated an -error with no message if called to fetch a binding that didn't exist. -They now silently return without an error like the "bind" command.

(stanton) - -2/4/99 (bug fix): If an image mask changed but ended up with the same -XID, the GC failed to be updated and so the new mask was not -used. [Bug: 970] (stanton) - -2/12/99 (new feature): Tk is now thread safe. You enable this by -configuring with --enable-threads. Tcl must also be compiled with ---enable-threads. See Tcl for more information about the threading -interfaces. (lfb) - -2/25/99 (bug fix) Under Windows, wish can now inherit pipe handles on -stdio so it is possible to use the wish executable in a command -pipeline to capture the output of puts or read from the pipe with -gets. (redman) - -3/1/99 (bug fix) Under Windows, Tk was not properly handling focus and -activation changes in some cases. (redman) - -3/10/99 (new feature) Tk now uses the new stub library feature in Tcl. -The Tk library now contains no direct references to any symbols in -Tcl. In addition, there is a new Tk_MainEx() function that takes an -interpreter as an argument. See the Tcl documentation for more -information about the stubs mechanism. (redman) - -3/14/99 (feature change) Test suite now uses "test" namespace to -define the test procedure and other auxiliary procedures as well as -global variables. - - Global array testConfige is now called ::test::testConfig. - - Global variable VERBOSE is now called ::test::verbose, and - ::test::verbose no longer works with numerical values. We've - switched to a bitwise character string. You can set - ::test::verbose by using the -verbose option on the Tk command - line. - - Global variable TESTS is now called ::test::matchingTests, and - can be set on the Tk command line via the -match option. - - There is now a ::test::skipTests variable (works similarly to - ::test::matchTests) that can be set on the Tk command line via - the -match option. - - The test suite can now be run in any working directory. When - you run "make test", the working directory is nolonger switched - to ../tests. -(hirschl) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - ------------------ Released 8.1b2, March 16, 1999 --------------------- - -3/23/99 (feature change) Test suite now uses "tcltest" namespace to -define the test procedure and other auxiliary procedures as well as -global variables. The previously chosen "test" namespace was thought -to be too generic and likely to create conflits. -(hirschl) -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -3/26/99 [bug fix] Fixed bug reported by Bryan Oakley in the -menubutton bindings. There was a false assumption that there was -always a menu attached to the button. [Bug 1116] (surles) - -3/26/99 (feature change) Removed --enable-tcl-stub from the configure -script. Linking Tk to Tcl stubs is causing too many problems when -linking executables like wish. Until the Tk is a fully loadable -extension, linking against the Tcl stubs is not supported in Tk. -(redman) - -3/26/99 (feature change) --nameble-shared is now the default and builds -Tk as a shared library; specify --disable-shared to build a static Tk -library and shell. -*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** - -3/29/99 (api change) Standardized text layout and font interfaces -so they are consistent with respect to byte versus character -oriented indices. The layout functions all manipulate character -oriented values while the lower level measurement functions all -operate on byte oriented values. (stanton) - -4/1/99 (bug fix) Image handlers are finalized before the font subsystem -to fix crashes during finalization of complex widgets. (stanton) - -4/1/99 (feature change) Removed the send command on Windows. Moved -the DDE basis of that command out to its own extension. The send -implementation on top of DDE was causing Tk to lock up in some cases. -(redman) - -4/5/99 (bug fix) Fixed handling of Unicode in text searches. The --count option was returning byte counts instead of character counts. - -4/5/99 (feature change) Cut and paste to an entry widget returns the -selection instead of the widget contents, which can be different if the --show option is used to hide the display. (stanton) - ---------------- Released 8.1b3, April 6, 1999 ---------------------- - -4/20/99 (compiler fix) changed definition of Status type to use a -typedef instead of a #define to avoid conflicting with the cygwin win32 -headers.
