Dear XOTcl community,
on www.xotcl.org, you will find a patch release p2 of xotcl 0.85.
The main fixes are:
- propagation of special return codes (e.g. ... return -code continue ...)
which is needed for Tk event maps, as catherine pointed out
- first version of custom setter/getter methods for -parameter
(see for now: apps/scripts/parameter.xotcl)
The documented part in parameter.xotcl is intended to stay, some
more features might be added.
Preview for the next major release:
Uwe has rewritten a good deal of the filters/mixins code, which is running
through our regression test already. Among other things, this will introduce
per object filters; this will complete our matrix of orthogonal features below:
per object per class
filter filter instfilter
mixin mixin instmixin
This is, however, a major change in the code, it will require some more
testing etc, and it will go into the next major release.
best regards
