Released on Nov 16, 1995


Subject: [Announce] Tix version 4.0b8 is available

I am pleased to announce the availability of Tix version 4.0b8.

Requirement

TK 4.0 + TCL 7.4, with or without patches It doesn't work with Tk 4.1a* and Tcl 7.5a* yet. Tix 4.0b8 does not work with previous versions of TK and TCL. Versions of Tix that work with previous versions of TK and TCL can be found in the FTP directories listed below.

Getting The Tix Package

You can obtain Tix from my ftp site:
	ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/ioi/Tix4.0b8.tar.gz   
I have also uploaded the file to the official Tcl site, so in a few days it will also be available at:
	ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/extensions/Tix4.0b8.tar.gz
	ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/extensions/Tix4.0b8.README   

What's New

This is essentially a maintainence release with the configuration process much improved. Most major bugs have been fixed. If all goes well, this will be the last beta release of Tix 4.0 and the final release will be ready within a week.
  1. The configure script has been overhauled. It has been moved to the toplevel directory and it will generate Makefiles in all subdirectories.
  2. The setup program (a GUI front end to configure) allows you to set most options graphically. setup is considered as a replacement for configure in all future versions of Tix. Please use setup instead of using configure directly.
  3. Miscellaneous bugs fixed. Please refer to the file docs/Changes.html in the distribution for more details of the bug fixes.
