This is just a quick FYI on recent changes in the 1.3 developer
version of Tcl/Java in the CVS.
New build system! You can not build by running tcljava/configure.
You no longer need to have autoconf installed to build from
the CVS. This is a major overhaul so please test on your system!
I still need to add build support for Windows, but that can wait.
Added Tcl Blend support for the Kaffe JMV.
Added support for IBM Java-2 1.3 JDK.
New Unicode tests. Every unicode char is passed
through the JVM to make sure any conversion code
is working properly.
Fixed pyramidpkg demo so that it uses the event queue and does
it in a thread safe way. The old demo was more of an example of
how not to do things.
New flags like TCL.EVAL_GLOBAL have been added. These flags
are typically passed to eval() and friends. These flags will
now work in both Jacl and Tcl Blend.
The src/jacl/tcl/lang/Shell.java class now provides a good
example of how to do thread safe events.
Old Tcl 8.0 support code removed. Tcl Blend now requires Tcl 8.3.
New debugging rules. You can run "make gdb" to launch a Tcl Blend
shell inside gdb (really handy for tracking down a crash).
Lots of docs fixes and other minor fixups.
