Announcing XOTcl 0.85. ********************** WHAT IS XOTCL? XOTcl is an object-oriented extension of Tcl that was derived from OTcl. In short, XOTcl tries to provide a highly flexible, reflective, component-based, and object-oriented environment. It integrates language support for high-level concepts which are not found in other languages, with reasonable performance. It prevails the Tcl programming style and the dynamic/introspective nature of the language, rather than introducing other language's styles and rigidness (such as C++) into Tcl. RECENT CHANGES IN VERSION 0.85 The most important changes relative to 0.84 are: - improved documentation - various small fixes in Httpd to improve extensibility - parent namespaces of objects are checked for existence (could lead to crash in earlier versions) - optional arguments for ismetaclass and isclass - created object return absolute names - cleanup destroys aggregated children (e.g. recreate provides per default a "clean" object) - new and more orthogonal directory structure, using version number in directory name MORE INFO General information about XOTcl and its components can be found at http://www.xotcl.org Mailing list: http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/mailman/listinfo/xotcl Best regards, Gustaf Neumann Uwe Zdun
