[tcljava-user] Boolean strings not managed

[Kristoffer L. <se...@fi...>]

% set a true
true
% if {! $a} {puts foo}
can't use non-numeric string as operand of "!"

Now, I realise that this was fixed relatively late in Tcl, but is  
there any hope of this kind of thing getting done in Jacl? In  
general, is Jacl still planning to be compatible with later versions  
than 8.0?

These booleans are already implemented in the CVS version of Jacl.
The CVS version also has support for the string "ne" and "eq" operators
in expr parsing.

Yes, it is. There is the new 'lset' command that has not yet been
implemented, but almost all the Tcl 8.4 features work in Jacl.
The regexp package is the only area with large differences.

Mo, any recent or planned work on fileevents?

Oh, that sounds great. Do you have any idea when we might be able to  
expect a release? I realise the CVS version might be stable and all,  
but from a client's point of view it is much easier to base a  
solution on an actual release, which is readily available.

Thanks for keeping up the work.

The CVS version works but it should not be considered stable or
production ready. There are lots of new features and changes
being made, so it is unlikely that there will be a release soon.
Perhaps in 2 or 3 months there will be enough finished to put
out a 1.4.0 release, but it will not be production ready.
