* Tiled background image support for widgets and items (eg. polygons).
* Shaped windows under Windows and X11.
* Enhance photo copy and Gradient image generation.
* Sound ([snack]) and 3D Graphics extensions.
* A standalone executable with built-in extensions.
* A database (Sqlite) plus a networked client/server SOS.
* An Admin interface with numerous demo applications.
* Simple to use inputs dialogs.
* Support for complex layouts using Gui.
* Execution of applications from .zip files.
* Built-in Tcl/Tk code Validation.
* Tcl compiler and bytecode loader.

In short, it provides many of the features missing from Tck/Tk.
**Comments**
[LV]: Wow - I like several of the things I see here.
I have a question for you. The changes you made in Tcl/Tk 8.5 - have patches for these changes been submited to http://tcl.sf.net/ ? I would love to see Wize in a position to make use of the latest releases of Tcl/Tk.
[PCM]: Sorry, no patches submitted yet. All efforts are being concentrated on
producing a unified, seamless environment.
[JHJL] Seconded! I am very impressed and would dearly love to use Blt under the latest 8.5. Any chance of a Blt for 8.5 dll :) Thanks for making Wize available.
You can just checkout blt from wize CVS and build it. However, the
tiling for Tk won't work as it requires patching Tk.

As of March 2, 2010, Wize is based on Tcl 8.5a5. Are there any plans to bring Wize up to Tcl 8.6beta?
[PCM]: Wize 3.0, but that won't be for a while yet.
[SEH]: Also, I couldn't find an overall license statement for the author's original code. What license is the original parts of the package released under?
