Ok,
Christian and I recently made the decision to start some new
development work. We're still working hard to get the final bugs out
of vTcl 1.5, and we're looking at another beta release very soon. If
you've been keeping up with the CVS repository, you're starting to see
a lot of bug fixes and a lot more stability.
So, at this point, we've decided that 1.5 will be the last release
in the 1.x release cycle. Christian is continuing bug work for 1.5,
but I am moving on to greener pastures: the 2.0 release.
I am basically starting work to re-write much of the internals and
inner-workings of the vTcl core. Here's a brief list of somethings
that will be done:
The vTcl commands are all being moved into a ::vTcl namespace. This
has been simulated throughout vTcl's creation, but we're going to do it
for real in 2.0. This will also mean that vTcl will no longer function
with Tcl 7.6.
Itcl will be used heavily throughout the widget creation development.
This will allow us a lot more configurability of widgets and their
creation methods. This will also mean that vTcl will not function without
the presence of Itcl.
A "Project Creation Wizard" will be developed for creating new
projects. This will do things like setup directory structures and some
default configuration options. These options will all be stored for
use by vTcl when the project is worked on later.
So, my question is this. What do you think of these ideas, and
what would you like to see in the next version?
Thanks,
Damon
