Tloona / News: Recent posts

This is the first release of Tloona that runs on Tcl/Tk 8.6. It still needs Itcl/Itk 3.4 installed, itcl/itk 4.0.0 will not work.

From the release notes:

• Runs with Tcl/Tk 8.6
• Partial Support for TclOO in the code browser (oo::define, oo::class, methods, constructor)
• Support for NX (https://next-scripting.org/)
• New version of Tclparser fixes a critical issue with {*} syntax
• Many other bugfixes... read more

• Partial support for snit in Code browser and the "send to REPL" feature
• Extends and fixes in Itcl/Itk support ("common", itk_component in methods)
• sugar macro integration in REPL and code browser + sugar::proc icon
• AppMain.tcl and .icns icon for .app on Mac OSX (see comments in AppMain.tcl)
• Various code/speed optimizations and bugfixes

This is a bugfix release to 1.3. The File->new bug (errors while editing new files) is also fixed now.

Version 1.3.0 of Tloona Tcl/Tk IDE

* various bug fixes
* Client console is able to read stdin
* Code browser understands XOTcl meta classes and slots
* Code can be send from files to the client console

This is merely a bugfix release that gives also some polish to the 1.2 release.
Minor improvements to the console were made, it can handle inputs from stdin now

The SVN code for Tloona contains now a first implementation of a parser for XOTcl classes. This means that XOTcl classes, instprocs and procs are now recognized and displayed / browsable in the code browser and outline.
Things to do: implement further XOTcl commands like instmixin, instfilter etc. and polish the sorting of tree nodes.

Still it is useful already - just not released. Get the code from SVN and have fun ;-)!

The SVN repository of Tloona does not only contain the IDE itself, but also various other bits and pieces: canvasplot, itcl4xo, tclkick... others might follow.

Therefore the repository was restructured by today to better reflect this heterogenous structure. Tloona itself can be found under the subdirectory "tloona" now, instead of the top directory. Please change the URL's for your local work copy or do a fresh checkout.... read more
