Yes, it is on ftp://ftp.wpi.edu/perl5/Incoming/Tk-b11.tar.gz
_This_ is the announcement ;-)
see also
ftp://ftp.wpi.edu/perl5/Incoming/Tk-JPEG-b11.tar.gz
Both will be on CPAN soon I hope.
Main reason for b11 was to see if I had the gettimeofday() build
issues resolved. It is also a 'snapshot' of all stuff I did at home
during my holiday (aka 'vacation').
(And I always try and release _something_ on 1st April ;-))
The Drag&Drop stuff looks real good on Solaris, but seems a little
sad on SunOS...
I just re-discovered more snags in Tk-b11/HTML/*
more and more folks are using Netscape stuff ...
Changes in b11
* Corrected initialization/malloc/free bug in Text Tag -data option.
* Down graded ConfigDefault not to propagate 'default' values if
ConfigSpec has 'undef' as default value. Changed default -foreground
-background to supplied by Tk::Derived to follow this model.
These changes allow subwidgets to default their own colours.
* Made '-class' universal and used it to set class for all Tk::Widgets.
Will allows Tix-like options db priming to affect subwidget defaults
(e.g. colours).
* Messed with 'Menubar' class - now only exported decendants of 'Frame' and
auto-packs itself at top. Its Menubutton method looks for existing
menubutton of the supplied name, does maps ~Name to -underline
and passes -menuitems to the menu.
* Adopted xpm3.4h for Pixmap/xpm
* Moved pTk's gettimeofday() tests up to top level myConfig.
Changed way C #define's are passed to code; now builds tkConfig.h
and #include's it rather than passing lots of -DXXXX to the compiler.
* Fixed infinite recursion on configure of DEFAULT options on derived widgets.
* Fixed bad case of 'bit rot' in Sun drag&drop - it was broken at time of
Tix code merge. Cleaned up the interface to it and added generic 'Local'
drag&drop independent of Sun's. Drop is always via a selection, as
both Sun's and Motif use that mechanism.
- 'Local' drop should allow emulation of Tix-like Drag&Drop.
- Works fine with olvwm4.1 under Solaris2.4.
- Works after a fashion under olvwm4.1 on SunOS4 - incoming drops sometimes
fail. (Suspect bugs on 'xview' side...)
- SunOS4 olvwm3.* is even worse.
- Need to add Motif methods when I can decipher the protocol.
* Various point fixes suggested to pTk list.
