by Mark Roseman - 'DejaNews:'' [L1 ]

This week sees a lot of news with regards to Tcl support and its related Internet resources. There is some exciting behind-the-scenes work going on in this area now. This will result in more accurate and up-to-date information that is more easily accessible to you.

  • John Ousterhout formalizes Scriptics policy on open source Tcl/Tk support, such as handling bug reports (see [L2 ])
  • TIX has found a new home on the web, thanks to the efforts of Gregg Squires http://tix.mne.com/
  • The Jumbo page of patches, bugs, works in progress etc. is picking up momentum, and moves to a new Persistent URL http://purl.org/thecliff/tcl/jumbo.html
  • Preferred access to archives of Tcl-URL! articles has moved http://purl.org/thecliff/tcl/url.html
  • Richard Hipp's Mktclapp, a successor to his Embedded Tk, lets you integrate and package apps using Tcl, C, and C++ http://www.hwaci.com/sw/mktclapp/
  • Alexandre Ferrieux provides a good summary of the discussion to date on how best to build sound into Tcl (see [L3 ])
  • An innocent query for a "sort -u" equivalent on Tcl lists generated a good thread on array/list performance in Tcl8.0 (thread [L4 ])
