This is TASH version 8.6-2, intended for use with Tcl/Tk versions 8.4 through 8.6. The notes at http://tcladashell.sourceforge.net/index.html#thick-binding describe the position with respect to TASH's "thick binding" (the package hierarchy starting at Tash). API changes =========== Changes in 20140210 ------------------- Tcl and Tcl.Tk no longer provide "Null_*" constants or "Is_Null (Ptr : in *) return Boolean;" functions (the types concerned are visibly access types, so the standard "null" is available). Tcl, Tcl.Ada and Tcl.Tk use "not null" in subprogram parameters where applicable. Note that, although this is an Ada 2005 construct, your GNAT project can still specify Ada 95 if required, because of the use of the GNAT-specific "pragma Ada_2005". Fixed some confusion between Tcl_UniChar and strings of same. Changes in 20140118 ------------------- A new package Tcl.Async supports writing Tcl variables from Ada. This is especially important if the Ada code isn't running in the same thread as the Tcl interpreter. You can use the 'trace' facility in Tcl to detect when such a write has taken place. See watching.adb, watching.tcl in the demos/ directory for an example. Changes in 20110925 ------------------- The ClientData generics in Tcl.Ada had comments stating that the size of the ClientData formal type must be equal to the size of a C pointer. These have been replaced by assertions that the size of ClientData must not be greater than that of System.Address. Changes in 20090611 ------------------- None. Changes in 20090207 ------------------- * Updated the Tcl Ada API to native Tcl 8.[4-6] * Removed function Tcl.Tcl_GetObjId as it is not part of native Tcl and it gave trouble on 64-bit systems. * Many of the record types in package Tcl were declared private although their native Tcl counterpart is public. Certain functions could not even be used without public access to the record type's contents. These types are now public. * Removed type Tcl.Tcl_Obj_Ptr as it is not part of native Tcl, and its use was prone to introduce memory leaks. Other changes ============= Changes in 20140210 ------------------- None. Changes in 20140118 ------------------- Supports XQuartz in Mac OS X. Changes in 20110925 ------------------- The top-level makefile now supports an 'install' target which on GNAT-based systems other than Debian installs TASH alongside your compiler (so you don't need to set ADA_PROJECT_PATH). The setup.tcl script recognises gnatgcc, if present, as the compiler to use for the C compilations required to build the library. The setup.tcl script supports the flag "--nogui", meaning "perform the setup immediately". The GPR files have been improved; the result is that the Tcl and Tk libraries will be linked automatically. Changes in 20090611 ------------------- No longer requires gprbuild. Changes in 20090207 ------------------- None.
