Re: [TCLCORE] [Tcl-bugs] [Tk] (jan.nijtmans) com (bug-1871581951): Please cleanup GITHUB building after the build is done.

[Francois V. <fvo...@fr...>]

Jan,

Interesting. Let me learn something: why is your commit below of any 
usefulness and why are you requesting this?

My reasoning:

- The CI runners only run (once a day) when there is a new commit in a 
branch. They do not run over and over on the same tip of any branch (see 
'on: push: branches: ...' in the .yml files).

- When I merge in the release branches I always first revert the .yml 
file and commit only after this revert.

So I don't see why and how it would hurt to leave the github build 
directives in a closed bugfix branch (only).

Regards,

Francois

If I understand the associated ticket and code correctly, the separator 
is the normal path separator for the different platforms. So ":" for 
linux and mac and ";" for windows.

    * Appearance improvements for...
       - focus ring, arrows, and classic theme.
       - last item in a [ttk::treeview].
       - down arrow in [ttk::combobox].

The ttk::treeview changes are more extensive than just related to the 
appearance of the last item:
       - Fixed 'see' and 'bbox' after scrolling
       - Fixed 'see' before widget is first mapped
       - Fixed unexpected scrolling when using 'see' on a detached item
This can be summarized as
       - Fixes to the ttk::treeview 'see' and 'bbox' commands.

For the sake of clarity: I'm not focusing on the dual meaning of the noun "highlight", which I know 
of. I'm focusing on the perfect tense of the verb "highlight".

Two minor remarks/suggestions:

1. Regarding the word "Highlighted" in the paragraph:

"This is a patch release, so it primarily includes bug fixes and corrections
to erratic behavior.  Highlighted changes are noted below.  The changes file
at the root of the source tree contains a more complete list.  The Timelines
of all changes are online."

Is this word appropriate? I'm not a native English speaker. So, I'm unsure. Nevertheless: this word 
makes me understand that (in the past) somebody or something has made some selected changes stand 
out (e.g. with a marker pen), and that in a next pass/stage these changes have been chosen for 
display in the summary of changes. I'm confident that that's not what was meant, but I'm not 
confident enough to suggest an alternative wording.


2. A suggestions to organize the summary of changes in the following distinct categories:
        A. Tcl
        B. Tk
        C. Additional packages

    That would look like:


A. Tcl:
    * [TIP 692] Deprecate Tcl_GetAlias(). Migrate to Tcl_GetAliasObj()

    * Tcl_NewObjectInstance() errors on namespace re-use.
         *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY -- breaks Itcl 4.2 ***

    * TCL_PACKAGE_PATH change from TCL list to ";" separated items
         *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

    * Make [self] work inside [$obj eval]

    * Fix [$obj varname] for linked varnames

    * Restore access to alternate data streams (ADS) in NTFS filesystems.

    * Fix crashes or hangs in...
       - TclOO + coroutine, oo-22.[34]
       - entangled destructor and namespace deletion, oo-35.7.*
       - destruction of reflected channel, iocmd-32.3.*
       - select notifier with file descriptor >= FD_SETSIZE
       - [child invokehidden info frame], info-40.0

    * Fix GENFUNC mode of Tcl_ParseArgsObjv(). See tests indexObj-7.*

    * Fix removal of oo variable by [info exists]. See oo-19.4

    * Fix byte compiled [incr] with wide int increment. See incr-1.31

    * Repair encoding flaws in [info hostname] visible for non-ASCII names.

    * Fix incorrect [string is control] results on some private codepoints

    * Autoload of [::tcl::tm::path]

    * Fix missing error message in some [interp limit] failures.

    * Improved hash performance for some hash tables.

    * Performance optimizations in several encoding primitives.

    * Correction to rare failed startup search for system encoding

    * Add encodings: koi8-ru, koi8-t

    * Add keycodes ISO_Group_Shift and dead_hamza

B. Tk:
    * Invoke binding scripts for events with detail field NotifyInferior
         *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

    * Fix crashes or hangs in...
       - [focus -force], focus-8.1

       - focus ring, arrows, and classic theme.

[TCLCORE] Tcl/Tk 8.6.15 Release Candidates

[Donald G P. <don...@ni...>]

Now available at

https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/files/Tcl/8.6.15/

are RC2 candidate source code distribution pre-releases of Tcl and Tk 8.6.15.

This should be the final candidate releases leading to the release of Tcl/Tk 8.6.15.
Unless some serious blocking issue is reported, these files will become the release
upon announcement.

The Tcl pre-release includes pre-releases of the packages Thread 2.8.10, Itcl 4.3.0,
and TDBC* 1.1.9.  The released package sqlite3 3.45.3 is also included.

Compared with the prior release candidate, no changes have been made to Tcl, Tk
has seen a wave of refinements to documentation, and a few fixes to the building
and testing scripts of TDBC* packages on Windows systems have been applied.  In
light of those changes, make additional testing as you think is needed.

Thank you for your contributions and assistance.

Re: [TCLCORE] macOS Sequoia 15 release on 2024-09-16 and Tcl Releases

[Marc C. <cul...@gm...>]

I have tested a recent tip of the main branch on a Sequoia beta release.
There were no big issues.  There were dumb issues, which hopefully will go
away.  They take the form of debugging messages printed to stderr when Tk
is first loaded.  Apple has a tendency to forget that they left such things
in place.  Hoperully this time they will remember to take those out.

Re: [TCLCORE] TclOO Properties C API, request for help/use cases/ideas

[Donal F. <don...@ma...>]

This is a ping to remind people that I'm still looking for input on what is needed for a C API for properties. I've a bunch of internal APIs that could be exposed, but I don't know what's needed, and I know that what's there right now is not what Tk megawidgets need (there are incompatible properties models between Tcl channels and Tk widgets; you can't have both on the one object because the 'configure' responds quite differently).

Primary requirement (the things that I think TclOO should provide itself):

  *   Property discovery mechanism, possibly with enhancement for another property category beyond "supports read" and "supports write". Otherwise simply discovering this stuff from a class hierarchy is really expensive; TclOO tries to minimise class hierarchy trawls.

Secondary requirement (the things that TclOO does for its own Tcl-like properties):

  *   Scheme for defining property implementations and calling them. This part actually shouldn't need any special API other than maybe a little trickery to avoid having to dip fully into Tcl_EvalObjv to invoke methods. All the tools for this should either already be there or be something that can be added easily enough. You'll need conventions for what to call these methods; as long as they're not exported the convention can be almost anything.

Note that the original implementation of the secondary parts was nearly entirely in Tcl scripts. It's a good way to get this sort of thing started. And classic Tk doesn't have any of this problem anyway by virtue of not doing subclasses in a user-exposed fashion at all.

If there's something that seems obvious to you but I've missed, or that seems mystifying to you and I've not talked about in enough detail, let me know.

Subject: [TCLCORE] TclOO Properties C API, request for help/use cases/ideas

I've been considering adding a C API for TclOO properties. The issue is I'm trying to imagine what such an API might be.

Clearly, there's going to be something to register a property against a class or object (called something akin to Tcl_RegisterProperty) and some functions to do various lookups (especially of the current lists of properties supported directly on a class or property, and of the full list of properties supported by an instance including via inheritance). But what else? Well, I'll be able to provide an API for making implementations, but that will be very specific to Tcl-ish style properties so I'm not sure of the utility; Tk-like properties will need something different. Indeed, that's why properties are not a base feature of oo::object; the details vary too much. I'm tempted to leave the full property manufacturing code as Tcl-internal (and exposed to scripts of course).

My point is I really need some help here to describe what sort of things that are needed by other models of what properties should be. I'm happy for base TclOO to provide support for discovery mechanisms; they're the expensive part if done any other way. But I need to know what I'm missing. If I knew, it wouldn't be missing!

Donal.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/files/Tcl/8.6.15/

are RC1 candidate source code distribution pre-releases of Tcl and Tk 8.6.15.

This is the second of a sequence of candidate releases leading to the release of
Tcl/Tk 8.6.15. Testing of builds and operations on multiple platforms is invited.  Open
tickets on any problems discovered, or raise the issue in a reply to this message.

The Tcl pre-release includes pre-releases of the packages Thread 2.8.10, Itcl 4.3.0,
and TDBC* 1.1.9.  The same level of vetting on them is also appreciated.  The released
package sqlite3 3.45.3 is also included.

Several issues raised about the RC0 distributions have been addressed, and the
time zone data has been updated to 2024b.

Thank you for your contributions and assistance.

A few minor items missing from changes.md - see https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/info/52a5f4ab95bc36a8.

Line 7 of changes.md says 9.0b4 (not fixed in above commit)

Zlib test failures reported in b3 still open - seen on Fedora but not Windows or Ubuntu. Ticket had already been logged - https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/tktview/73d5cb615e

Tcl/Tk verified on Windows 10. Tcl (no Tk) verified on Ubuntu and Fedora.

Thanks Don, great action !

On archaic MS-VC6 32 bit on 64 bit WIndows 10:

- all ok, tests pass, program runs.

You may add my recent commits to tdbc::odbc, tdbc::postgres and 
tdbc::mysql to make the tests run without installation.

Thank you for all,
Harald

Eric, Francois !

I really appreciate your comments. I am doing the changes file by 
running over all commits and it should be seen as a draft. Any review is 
appreciated. If you have comments to other commit messages, I would 
appreciate. Please make it helpful to the user (thats us), that we 
understand later, what happened.

Thank you for all,
Harald

Yes, I tested those changes before the merge, but several weeks later I 
discovered that a <FocusOut> event with the detail field 
"NotifyInferior" caused a minor asymmetry related to the appearance of 
the active tablelist row or cell:  By starting the interactive editing 
of a cell's content, the black rectangle around the active row or cell 
disappeared due to the <FocusOut> event with %d = "NotifyInferior"; by 
clicking somewhere on the desktop still during the editing session and 
then on the toplevel containing the tablelist widget, that rectangle 
became visible again.  Not a big deal, but it was easy to eliminate this 
minor issue by checking the detail field of the <FocusOut> event.

Best regards,

Csaba

OK, regarding the notification. However, when looking at the change to which this applies, I see the 
following description:


2024-03-15 (bug)[47d4f2] Throw focus events if marked by X11 as inferior
	(leunissen)

	
I'm sorry to say (but I hope no offense): this description is both incorrect and non-sensical. My 
proposal:


2024-03-15 (bug)[47d4f2] Invoke binding scripts for events with detail field NotifyInferior
	(leunissen, vogel)


Best regards,
Erik.
