Dear XOTcl community,

on www.xotcl.org, you will find a patch release p2 of xotcl 0.85.

The main fixes are:

- propagation of special return codes (e.g. ... return -code continue ...) which is needed for Tk event maps, as catherine pointed out

- first version of custom setter/getter methods for -parameter (see for now: apps/scripts/parameter.xotcl) The documented part in parameter.xotcl is intended to stay, some more features might be added.

Preview for the next major release: Uwe has rewritten a good deal of the filters/mixins code, which is running through our regression test already. Among other things, this will introduce per object filters; this will complete our matrix of orthogonal features below:

per object per class filter filter instfilter mixin mixin instmixin

This is, however, a major change in the code, it will require some more testing etc, and it will go into the next major release.

best regards -gustaf neumann
