Tix 4.0 b7

Released on Nov 11, 1995


Subject: [Announce] Tix version 4.0b7 is available

I am pleased to announce the availability of Tix version 4.0b7.

Requirement

TK 4.0 + TCL 7.4 or later. Tix 4.0b7 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/Tix4.0b7.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/Tix4.0b7.tar.gz
	ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/extensions/Tix4.0b7.README   

What's New

This is essentially a maintainence release and most of the bugs that have been reported since June are now fixed.
  1. Major overhaul on the Balloon widget. Now it should go away when you move the mouse cursor out of a client widget or when you press the mouse button inside a client widget.

  2. OptionMenu supports deletion of menu entries.

  3. Major improvement of the installation process. Now there is a graphical program (src/setup) to use as a front-end to the GNU configure script. Also, the configure script is more intelligent in locating the TK, TCL and XPM library and header files. Therefore, this version of Tix should be less hassle to install than previous versions.

  4. Misbehaviors of the FontSet mechanism on monochrome displays have been fixed.

  5. Miscellaneous bugs fixed for FileSelectBox, ExFileSelectBox, ComboBox, Control, etc. Please refer to the file docs/Changes.html in the distribution for more details of the bug fixes.
