This version (Tk400.200) requires perl5.002 or later. +This a re-port of a perl interface to Tk8.0.5 (Scriptics's production release). -This version is the first 'production' release. There is little change from -beta release Tk-b11.02 and even less from Tk-b12. See Changes for what is -different. +It also includes all the C code parts of Ioi Kim Lam's Tix4.1.0.006 release. +The perl code corresponding to Tix's Tcl code is not fully implemented. -Although this is a production release it should be noted that some -sub-modules are not as "finished" as others. The interfaces to Tcl/Tk's -"core" widgets Text, Entry, Canvas, Button, RadioButton, Checkbutton, Scale, -Scrollbar, Listbox, Menu, Menubutton are stable -. -As are core Bitmap, Photo and Pixmap image types. The "Composite" or "Mega -Widget" interface is also stable but lacking in some features. - -The less finished parts include: - - Tk::HTML needs libwww package from CPAN which in turn requires the - libnet package. It will eventually be improved as libwww improves. - - Tk::IO requires the 'IO::' package which was first introduced into - perl distribution in 5.003_01. It is available in CPAN archive for - earlier releases. Tk::IO is likely to change as perl's IO evolves, and - with tk4.1 changes. - - Tk::Ghostview postscript previewer is still experimental, I use a - "Display Postscript" extension which I may release at some point. - - Tk::Pod should be changed to use new Pod:: module(s) from CPAN. - - Tk::DragDrop works on Solaris (and SunOS to some extent) - it should really be based on a standard. - - Tk::Xlib will evolve further if tk4.1's Win32/Mac ports permit. - - Most of the Tix stuff only has C code ported, the many of the tcl parts - still needing converting to perl. - - HList works reasonably well - - There is a port of NoteBook in Contrib - I want to clean up - - InputO has not been tested. - - There is an intent to add an object oriented interface to Canvas items, - (existing interface will still work). - - There are partially completed things like NNTP News reader which - may be finished one day. - - There are point-demo and test scripts in distribution +This version (Tk800.022) requires perl5.005 or later on Win32 +and 5.004_04 or later on UNIX. |
