1Announcing XOTcl 1.0.1 2********************** 3 4WHAT IS XOTCL? 5 6 XOTcl is an object-oriented extension of Tcl that was derived from 7 OTcl. In short, XOTcl tries to provide a highly flexible, 8 reflective, component-based, and object-oriented environment. It 9 integrates language support for high level concepts which are not 10 found in other languages, with reasonable performance. It prevails 11 the Tcl programming style and the dynamic/introspective nature of 12 the language, rather than introducing other language's styles and 13 rigidness (such as C++) into Tcl. 14 15 16CHANGES relative to 1.0 are: 17 18 - fixes: 19 20 * fixed installation bug on windows (when installed on 21 drives different to c:) 22 23 * fixes for aolserver 3.5.* 24 25 * fix for "object info default arg var" in connection 26 with filters 27 28 * Serializer handles filter guards now 29 30 - new functionality and improvements: 31 32 * improved recreate semantics, makes it easier to 33 overload recreation logic. 34 35 * new method "noinit" to create objects without 36 calling the constructor 37 38 - optimizations: 39 40 * general speedup (10 to 15%) by using client data of 41 namespace instead of Tcl_AssocData for interpreter state 42 43 * faster and more flexible Serializer 44 45 46 For more details, please consult the ChangeLog 47 48MORE INFO 49 General and more detailed information about XOTcl and its components 50 can be found at http://www.xotcl.org 51 52 53Best regards, 54 55Gustaf Neumann 56Uwe Zdun 57 58
