XOTcl 1.0.2 available
by Gustaf Neumann 21 Mar '03

21 Mar '03

Dear XOTcl community XOTcl 1.0.2 is available! Below is the full announcement text! best regards -gustaf neumann ======================================================================== Announcing XOTcl 1.0.2 ********************** WHAT IS XOTCL? XOTcl is an object-oriented extension of Tcl that was derived from OTcl. In short, XOTcl tries to provide a highly flexible, reflective, component-based, and object-oriented environment. It integrates language support for high level concepts which are not found in other languages, with reasonable performance. It prevails the Tcl programming style and the dynamic/introspective nature of the language, rather than introducing other language's styles and rigidness (such as C++) into Tcl. CHANGES relative to 1.0.1 are: - fixes: * fixes for copying/moving objects to same name * works out of the box with AOL-server 4.0 (no patch for AOL-server needed) * various small fixes and code cleanup * new directory structure (no nested version numbers) * improved object and class serializer - new functionality and improvements: * new method "ismixin": Test whether the argument is a mixin or instmixin of the object. * new method "hasclass": Test whether the argument is either a mixin or instmixin of the object or if it is on the class hierarchy of the object. This method combines the functionalities of istype and ismixin. * arguments of configure methods can start now with a leading "-" without ambiguity. In previous versions Class C -parameter {name counter} C c1 -name -x -counter 123 the configuration of c1 was interpreted as follows method argc name 0 x 0 counter 1 Starting with XOTcl 1.0.2 arguments can be protected by putting it into a list: C c1 [list -name -x] -counter 123 which is interpreted as follows: method argc name 1 counter 1 For more details, please consult the ChangeLog MORE INFO General and more detailed information about XOTcl and its components can be found at http://www.xotcl.org Best regards, Gustaf Neumann Uwe Zdun -- Univ.Prof. Dr.Gustaf Neumann Abteilung für Wirtschaftsinformatik WU-Wien, Augasse 2-6, 1090 Wien

Tcl source requirement
by Kristoffer Lawson 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Is there any particular reason why XOTcl still requires the Tcl source lying around to compile? Generally I find it awkward and not quite "clean" that some Tcl extensions require the original Tcl source and I've never really needed it myself for my own stuff. / http://www.fishpool.com/~setok/

ANNOUNCE: Ants
by Kristoffer Lawson 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Seeing as I use XOTcl on the server side, this might be interesting to people on this list. What is the Ants project? Ants is a generic system for running any kind of distributed code, intended to replace application-specific systems like the one used by SETI@home. The idea is to be able to write scripts with areas defined to be run on the Ants network. These script fragments can then communicate with the original script by passing messages. The server admin can specify which libraries scripts are allowed to load. In addition to that, by configuring the system and attaching more scripts to it, it can be a valuable system administration framework for both small and large networks. http://people.fishpool.fi/~setok/ants/ / http://www.fishpool.com/~setok/

Xotcl 1.0.1 install buglets
by Laurent Duperval 02 Mar '03

02 Mar '03

HI, I just installed xotcl 1.0.1 with a version of Tcl taken from CVS. WHen I tried to install and test, I had problems because the tcl_platform(platform) variable couldn't be found in the pkgIndex.tcl files. I had to change all of them to ::tcl_platform(platform). Just thought you should know.
