Announcing XOTcl 1.0.2
**********************
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.
CHANGES relative to 1.0.1 are:
- fixes:
* fixes for copying/moving objects to same name
* works out of the box with AOL-server 4.0
(no patch for AOL-server needed)
* various small fixes and code cleanup
* new directory structure (no nested version numbers)
* improved object and class serializer
- new functionality and improvements:
* new method "ismixin": Test whether the argument is a
mixin or instmixin of the object.
* new method "hasclass": Test whether the argument is either
a mixin or instmixin of the object or if it is on the class
hierarchy of the object. This method combines the
functionalities of istype and ismixin.
* arguments of configure methods can start now
with a leading "-" without ambiguity. In previous versions
Class C -parameter {name counter}
C c1 -name -x -counter 123
the configuration of c1 was interpreted as follows
method argc
name 0
x 0
counter 1
Starting with XOTcl 1.0.2 arguments can be protected
by putting it into a list:
C c1 [list -name -x] -counter 123
which is interpreted as follows:
method argc
name 1
counter 1
For more details, please consult the ChangeLog
