Announcing XOTcl 1.0.1 ********************** WHAT IS XOTCL? XOTcl is an object-oriented extension of Tcl that was derived from OTcl. In short, XOTcl tries to provide a highly flexible, reflective, component-based, and object-oriented environment. It integrates language support for high level concepts which are not found in other languages, with reasonable performance. It prevails the Tcl programming style and the dynamic/introspective nature of the language, rather than introducing other language's styles and rigidness (such as C++) into Tcl. CHANGES relative to 1.0 are: - fixes: * fixed installation bug on windows (when installed on drives different to c:) * fixes for AOLserver 3.5.* * fix for "object info default arg var" in connection with filters * Serializer handles filter guards now - new functionality and improvements: * improved recreate semantics, makes it easier to overload recreation logic. * new method "noinit" to create objects without calling the constructor - optimizations: * general speedup (10 to 15%) by using client data of namespace instead of Tcl_AssocData for interpreter state * faster and more flexible Serializer For more details, please consult the ChangeLog MORE INFO General and more detailed information about XOTcl and its components can be found at http://www.xotcl.org Best regards, Gustaf Neumann Uwe Zdun
