Subject: alphatcl update
I've placed an updater which implements a bunch of items on the AlphaTcl
to do list at:
<ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu/pub/alpha/PreRelease/>
You will need to ensure line-endings are converted by stuffit. There is
no guarantee that this stuff will work at all (or indeed that Alpha will
still function after applying this update ;-). It is 7.5d1.
================================================================================
= 7.5d1 in development last update:
03/09/2001 {10:53:14 AM}
================================================================================
line indentation can now be globally handled by the ::indentLine
procedure which can make use of a mode's 'correctIndentation' proc.
This means modes need not define their own indentLine procedure
any more. There is a new preference as to where the cursor should
end up after indentation, which is global ('position after
indentation').
fix to getBSRText in TeX mode.
filesets fix from Lars.
C mode indentation fix for ::
sentence region fix from Giovanni.
added ellipsis to 'text to alpha'
better 'file' implementation for Alpha 7, glob fix (thanks Johan).
fix to comment::undoLine, fix to alpha::actionOnFileScript
updated metafont mode to 2.0
changes to smartPaste/copyRing to remove some dependencies
moved html Url escaping functions to core.
feature (de)activation errors are presented to the user and do not
result in changes to the various feature lists.
removed support for obsolete commentCharacters($mode:General); the
correct version is $mode::commentCharacters. Matlab mode needed
updating. Various modes updated so they set the proper comment
characters and paragraph start/finish expressions.
added backup of defs.tcl and arrdefs.tcl and code to handle them
if they get corrupted (can happen if Alpha(tk) is force-quit during
exit).
added basic implementation of '-force' flag to 'file copy' on Alpha 7
fixed a bug when using the 'edit a filesets' dialog and the embedded
attach/detach information button. Also added support for groups of
attached information to each fileset, as used by the new 'fileset ftp
mirror' package. Added support for read-only 'text' fields to new
dialogs code.
Mark's version of doPrefix.
new pref 'twiddle preference' which switches between various people's
desired behaviour. Default behaviour changed (*** BEHAVIOUR CHANGE ***)
copied ftpMkDir and ftp mirroring code from html mode to www.tcl,
trying to make the code independent of html mode. The 'fileset ftp
mirror' package has some chance of working now.
improved 'stuff' and 'open folder' fileset operations.
added success message to 'procs::loadEnclosing'.
added to "Filesets Help" file.
sendOpenEvents partly implemented for non-macintosh platforms.
much faster preference saving.
better error messages in www code when using Tcl's ftp package.
added 'fileset::exists'
installer will do 'remove' actions first.
