Dear all,
I've added one more script to the example script collection for NX:
the game of Ludo (in German "Mensch ärgere dich nicht"), which
is essentially the result of the airplane flight to my vacation:
https://next-scripting.org/xowiki/file/docs/nx/examples/tk-ludo.html?html-c…
One interesting part is the usage of the "expression converter":
NX supports user-defined argument checkers and converters,
where converters might transform arguments. This can be
used e.g. to normalize values. In this game, this feature is used
to "normalize" expressions to values. This means, instead of
having to write
$obj point [expr {$x-$d}] [expr {$y-$d}] [expr {$x+$d}] [expr {$y+$d}]
one can write
$obj point $x-$d $y-$d $x+$d $y+$d
when the 4 arguments of method "point" are defined as expression
converters. This is at least an option, when performance is not critical.
best regards
-gustaf neumann
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

Next Scripting Framework and its components can be

20'th Annual Tcl/Tk Conference (Tcl'2013)
http://www.tcl.tk/community/tcl2013/
September 23 - 27, 2013
Bourbon Orleans Hotel
New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
http://www.bourbonorleans.com/
Important Dates:
Abstracts and proposals due July 6, 2013 [+ 2 weeks]
Notification to authors July 22, 2013 [- 2 weeks]
Author materials due September 2, 2013
Tutorials Start September 23, 2013
Conference starts September 25, 2013
Email Contact: tclconference(a)googlegroups.com
Submission of Summaries
Tcl/Tk 2013 will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA from September
23 - 27, 2013. The program committee is asking for papers and
presentation proposals from anyone using or developing with Tcl/Tk
(and extensions). Past conferences have seen submissions covering a
wide variety of topics including:
* Scientific and engineering applications
* Industrial controls
* Distributed applications and Network Managment
* Object oriented extensions to Tcl/Tk
* New widgets for Tk
* Simulation and application steering with Tcl/Tk
* Tcl/Tk-centric operating environments
* Tcl/Tk on small and embedded devices
* Medical applications and visualization
* Use of different programming paradigms in Tcl/Tk and proposals for new
directions.
* New areas of exploration for the Tcl/Tk language
Submissions should consist of an abstract of about 100 words and a
summary of not more than two pages, and should be sent as plain text
to <tclconference AT googlegroups DOT com> no later than August 5,
2013. Authors of accepted abstracts will have until September 2, 2013
to submit their final paper for the inclusion in the conference
proceedings. The proceedings will be made available on digital media,
so extra materials such as presentation slides, code examples, code
for extensions etc. are encouraged.
Printed proceedings will be produced as an on-demand book at lulu.com
The authors will have 25 minutes to present their paper at the
conference.
The program committee will review and evaluate papers according to the
following criteria:
* Quantity and quality of novel content
* Relevance and interest to the Tcl/Tk community
* Suitability of content for presentation at the conference
Proposals may report on commercial or non-commercial systems, but
those with only blatant marketing content will not be accepted.
Application and experience papers need to strike a balance between
background on the application domain and the relevance of Tcl/Tk to
the application. Application and experience papers should clearly
explain how the application or experience illustrates a novel use of
Tcl/Tk, and what lessons the Tcl/Tk community can derive from the
application or experience to apply to their own development efforts.
Papers accompanied by non-disclosure agreements will be returned to
the author(s) unread. All submissions are held in the highest
confidentiality prior to publication in the Proceedings, both as a
matter of policy and in accord with the U. S. Copyright Act of 1976.
The primary author for each accepted paper will receive registration
to the Technical Sessions portion of the conference at a reduced rate.
Other Forms of Participation
The program committee also welcomes proposals for panel discussions of
up to 90 minutes. Proposals should include a list of confirmed
panelists, a title and format, and a panel description with position
statements from each panelist. Panels should have no more than four
speakers, including the panel moderator, and should allow time for
substantial interaction with attendees. Panels are not presentations
of related research papers.
Slots for Works-in-Progress (WIP) presentations and Birds-of-a-Feather
sessions (BOFs) are available on a first-come, first-served basis
starting in August 5, 2013. Specific instructions for reserving WIP
and BOF time slots will be provided in the registration information
available in June 3, 2013. Some WIP and BOF time slots will be held open
for on-site reservation. All attendees with an interesting work in
progress should consider reserving a WIP slot.
Registration Information
More information on the conference is available the conference Web
site (http://www.tcl.tk/community/tcl2013/) and will be published on
various Tcl/Tk-related information channels.

Hello,
Before I look at using the NSF Mongodb driver, I'd just like to know if the
driver compatible with the latest mongodb (2.4)? Also, does it support
tailable cursors?
Thanks,

Announcement
ttclcheck (typed Tcl checker) is a new tcl syntax checker that support
object oriented code for XOTcl, ITcl (and Tk). It uses new approach for
type checking of object references.
It is based on checker in XOTclIDE but now it is as a stand alone
application.
http://www.xdobry.de/ttclcheck
ttclchecker can produce nice html site from Tcl source code with
advanced browsing and syntax highlighting.
Look at this
