Announcement: Next Scripting Framework 2.0b3 available
by Gustaf Neumann 10 Jun '13

10 Jun '13

Dear Community, We are pleased to announce the availability of the Next Scripting Framework 2.0b3 which can be obtained from http://next-scripting.org Best regards - Gustaf Neumann - Stefan Sobernig =============================================== Announcing NSF 2.0b3 ************************* Major changes relative to NSF 2.0b2 are: * Additional Features: - object parameters: call method "assign" on slot objects, when it is provided - include "-returns" in introspection for aliases and scripted methods. New subcommand "info method returns" for nx. - better compatibility with XOTcl 1.*: * invocation of objects via method interface follows per default the XOTcl 1.* conventions. In order to obtain the semantics of ensemble objects, the object properties "keepcallerself" and "perobjectdispatch" have to be used. * better handling of XOTcl 1.* configure commands (starting with a "-") when list property is lost (Many thanks to Zoran Vasjljevic for the good example) * use different version numbers in serializer to avoid mixups between XOTcl 1 and XOTcl 2 when both packages are installed * Improved Code Quality: - improved performance * rewrite of alias handling (alias reform) * improved branch prediction * significant speedup for handling large numbers of subclasses (subclass reform), avoid repetitious computations * significant speedup on mass-destroy (e.g. on thread exit) - provide better protection for deletion/overwriting of base classes - fixed potential duplicates on diamond inheritance - fixed unknown handling for "-local" and "-system" dispatches - improved compatibility for windows compilations (c89, __WIN32__) - fixed potential crashes * during method caching * error messages * implicit deletions - follow Tcl convention on error messages (start always with lower case) - better handling of multiple errors in a single command. - return GMT dates in Httpd as RFCs require * Improved documentation - fixed typos, improve wordings * Extended regression tests MORE INFO General and more detailed information about the Next Scripting Framework and its components can be found at http://next-scripting.org
