Hi all. The final verison of 1.2.4 is now up on my website at http://www.cs.umn.edu/~dejong/tcl/tcljava. Here is a short snip from the release note that will go up on comp.lang.tcl today. Now that this release is finished, I can start packing for my vacation in CA. What's New in the 1.2.4 Release? ---------------------------------- Jacl now includes the namespace command! All the namespace features included in Tcl 8.1 should be working in this release. Unicode support has been added to the Jacl parser. Tcl Blend works with Tcl 8.2 and supports Unicode characters (encoded as UTF-8) when compiled with Tcl 8.1 or Tcl 8.2. Jacl now supports the "package present" subcommand from Tcl 8.1's package command. A new java::import command which supports using shortened class names has been added to Jacl and Tcl Blend. A number of bugs in Jacl have been fixed and a host of new regression tests from the Tcl 8.1 dist have been added to Jacl. See the new_features.txt and changes.txt files for more info. I have done a lot of work updating the known_issues.txt file so make sure you read it if you run into problems. There are a number of problems in the Tcl configure script that may need to be patched before Tcl Blend will compile or run on your system, and the patches you will need are in the known_issues.txt file. I also did a bunch of testing before this release. Here are the results on the systems I have access to. If your system is not listed here, please feel free to post your own results.
