This file summarizes all changes made to Tk since version 1.0 was
released on March 13, 1991. Changes that aren't backward compatible
are marked specially.
3/16/91 (bug fix) Modified tkWindow.c to remove Tk's Tcl commands from
the interpreter when the main window is deleted (otherwise there will
be dangling pointers to the non-existent window).
3/16/91 (bug fix) Modified tkColor.c not to free black or white colors:
some X servers get upset at this.
3/18/91 (bug fix) Modified tkShare.c to fix bug causing "DeleteGroup
couldn't find group on shareList" panic.
3/18/91 (bug fix) Several changes to tkListbox.c and tkScrollbar.c to
handle listboxes (and scrollbars) with zero total entries in them.
3/22/91 (bug fix) Fixed a few ='s in tkListbox.c that should be ==.
3/22/91 (bug fix) Fixed error in main.c that caused BadWindow errors
in some cases where wish scripts invoke "destroy .".
3/23/91 (new feature) Added Tk_CancelIdleCall to remove Tk_DoWhenIdle
handler.
3/23/91 (bug fix and new feature) Added -name option to main.c, made
it more clever about choosing name (was always using the name "wish"
on most Unix systems).
3/23/91 (new feature) Added TK_CONFIG_STRING option to Tk_ConfigureWidget,
used it to malloc strings for various widget options that used to be
Tk_Uid's (e.g. button text, message strings, etc.). Eliminates core
leaks when values change in continuous non-repeating fashion.
3/29/91 (new feature) Added Tk_Preserve, Tk_Release, and
Tk_EventuallyFree procedures to help manage widget records and avoid
premature memory free-ing.
4/4/91 (bug fix) Fixed problem in tkWm.c where top-level window geometry
wasn't tracking correctly when wm-induced size change also changed window
position (e.g. menus wouldn't be displayed at the right places).
4/5/91 (new feature) Added "invoke" option to widget command for buttons,
check buttons, and radio buttons.
4/5/91 (new feature) Added "unpack" option to "pack" command.
4/5/91 (bug fix) Changed tkPack.c to use new Tk_Preserve code and be
more careful about window deletions that occur while repacking is in
progress.
4/6/91 (bug fix) Major overhaul of deletion code in all widgets to use
Tk_Preserve and Tk_Release. Should fix many problems.
4/6/91 (bug fix) Changed "winfo children" to generate correct lists
when child names have embedded spaces.
4/6/91 (new feature) Added "screenheight" and "screenwidth" options to
"winfo".
4/18/91 (bug fix) Binding mechanism didn't correctly handle very long
%-substitutions in commands (e.g. long path names) and caused memory
to be overwritten. Modified tkBind.c to fix.
---------------------- Release 1.1, 4/18/91 -------------------------
4/19/91 (bug fix) Inconsistent ICCCM handling of coordinates of reparented
windows causes windows to gradually walk south when moved or resized.
Fixed tkWm.c to patch around the problem.
---------------------- Release 1.2, 4/24/91 -------------------------
4/26/91 (new feature) Added -geometry and -display switches to wish.
Also wrote wish manual entry.
5/3/91 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkListbox.c that caused garbage to appear
at right edge of window when strings were to large to fit in window.
5/3/91 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkListbox.c where topIndex wasn't getting
updated when elements were deleted: tended to cause errors in
communication with scrollbars.
5/16/91 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tk3d.c, which caused core dumps when
consecutive points in a polygon were the same (happened with some
configurations of radio buttons, for example).
5/16/91 (bug fix) Fixed main.c to allow stdin to be redirected.
6/1/91 (bug fix) Make sure that pointers are never used after being
freed.
6/15/91 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkBind.c that caused current binding
values to not always be printed correctly.
6/15/91 (bug fix) Make sure that interpreters are always unregistered
when their main windows are deleted, and make wish delete the main
window before exiting.
8/21/91 (misfeature correction) Automatically set source of window
position to "user" in "wm geometry" command, unless it has been
explicitly set to "program".
9/5/91 (bug fix) Modified option code to accept '#' as a comment
character in .Xdefaults files, in addition to '!'.
9/10/91 (misfeature correction) Changed binding mechanism so that
numeric %-sequences are output in decimal instead of hex.
9/19/91 (bug fix) Fixed bug in Tk_DoOneEvent(1) where it wasn't
checking files and X connections properly so it missed events.
10/6/91 (new feature) Reorganized tkBind.c to provide generic "binding
table" structure, which can be used to create bindings on items in
canvases as well as windows.
10/6/91 (new feature) Upgraded buttons and menus to use new tracing
code in Tcl 6.0. Allows radio buttons and check buttons to both set
and clear themselves when associated variable changes.
10/17/91 (bug fix) Fixed 2 bugs in listboxes: accidentally advanced the
selection when new entries were inserted in the listbox after the location
of the selected item(s), and goofed up on redisplay if selected item
was deleted and then selection was immediately lost.
10/27/91 (bug fix) "pack unpack" wasn't telling Tk that it no longer
manages window; this led to core dumps in some situations.
10/31/91 (reorganization) Renamed manual entries so that they are no
more than 14 characters in length.
10/31/91 (reorganization) Changed tk.h and tkInt.h so that tkInt.h
doesn't needed to be included by tk.h.
11/3/91 (portability improvement) Eliminated use of "class" as a variable
name, since it's a reserved word in C++.
11/7/91 (reorganization) Many changes to upgrade for Tcl 6.1 including
use of Tcl hash tables instead of separate "Hash_" module. The "lib"
subdirectory is no longer needed in Tk.
---------------------- Release 1.3, 11/7/91 -------------------------
11/24/91 (bug fix) Fixed bug causing occasional errors if existing bindings
are modified (FindSequence in tkBind.c forget to set *maskPtr).
11/24/91 (bug fix) Used wrong hash table in Tk_GetColorByValue. Could
cause new entries to get created unnecessarily.
12/2/91 (bug fix) Changed "bind" code to put backslashes in front of
special characters (e.g. [ or \) that appear in %-replacements, so that
they can be parsed cleanly.
12/10/91 (bug fix) Manual entries had first lines that caused "man" program
to try weird preprocessor. Added blank comment lines to fix problem.
1/2/92 (documentation cleanup) Changed manual entries for Tk_GetBitmap
and the like to make it more clear that the argument must be a Tk_Uid
and not a string.
1/2/92 (bug fix) Fixed problem where scrollbars that were very short or
very narrow (too small to hold both arrows) could cause negative values
in calls to XClearArea, which crashed some servers.
1/2/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in TkMeasureChars occurring when maxChars
is 0. Occasionally affected things like message window geometry.
1/3/92 (new feature) Added procedures Tk_GetJustify, Tk_GetAnchor,
Tk_GetCapStyle, and Tk_GetJoinStyle, plus support for these things
in Tk_ConfigureWidget.
---------------------- Release 1.4, 1/10/92 -------------------------
1/12/92 (bug fix) TkMenubutton.c wasn't cleaning up mbPtr->varName
properly during menubutton cleanup if an error occurred during
menubutton creation.
1/19/92 (bug fix) Fixed off-by-one bug in tkListbox.c that caused
scrollbars to display a slider that was too large.
2/10/92 (bug fix) Tk_CreateFileHandler didn't correctly handle case
where new mask was specified for existing handler.
2/13/92 (bug fix) Tk_DeleteAllBindings wasn't correctly removing
bindings from the pattern table: only did the removal for the
first pattern in a pattern list.
2/15/92 (new feature) Added procedures Tk_DefineBitmap and
Tk_SizeOfBitmap. Tk_GetBitmapFromData is now considered obsolete
and probably shouldn't be used anymore. Tk_GetBitmapFromData
is now implemented by calling Tk_DefineBitmap and Tk_GetBitmap.
2/15/92 (new feature) Added "curselection" and "select clear" options
to widget command for listboxes.
2/15/92 (new feature) Added Tk_3DBorderColor procedure.
2/17/92 (relaxed limitations) Changed scrollbars so they no longer limit
the slider position to lie within the object's range: can scroll off the
end of an object, if the object permits it. Changed listboxes and
entries to explicitly prevent viewing off the ends. Also relaxed
listbox index checks so that out-of-range indices are automatically
adjust to fit within the listbox range.
2/19/92 (bug fix) tkWindow.c tended to leave half-created windows around
if a new window's name was found to be in use already. Fixed to clean
them up.
2/22/92 (new feature) Added -anchor, -bitmap, -height, -textvariable,
-width options to labels, buttons, check buttons, menu buttons, and radio
buttons. This means that (a) size can be controlled better, (b) bitmaps
can be displayed in any buttons, (c) the position of the text within the
button can be controlled, and (d) a button can be made to display the value
of a variable, continuously updating itself. Also changed -selector option
so that if it's specified as an empty string then no selector is drawn
for the button.
2/22/92 (new feature) Changed menus to support bitmaps in menu entries:
added new -bitmap option for entries.
2/26/92 (bug fix) "after" command, when invoked with just one argument,
called Tk_Sleep rather than registering a timer handler and looping on
Tk_DoOneEvent. As a result, it caused the application to become non-
responsive to X events during the sleep. Changed to use a Tk_DoOneEvent
loop so that it is responsive.
2/26/92 (bug fix) Tk's main program didn't map the main window until
after the startup script returned. Changed to map the window as a
do-when-idle handler, so that scripts can cause the window to be
mapped immediately with a call to "update" or "after".
2/28/92 (bug fix) "wm withdraw" wasn't working if invoked before window
was originally mapped: window got mapped anyway. Fixed so that the
window doesn't get mapped as long as it's withdrawn.
2/29/92 (new feature) Can use "focus none" to clear input focus.
2/29/92 (bug fix) Fixed tkEvent.c to generate SubstructureNotify events
properly. These weren't being generated previously.
2/29/92 (bug fix) Fixed entries so that newline characters can be properly
displayed (as `\x0a'). Had to change interface to TkDisplayChars in order
to do this (added flags argument).
2/29/92 (bug fix) Change Tk not to update size and position of top-level
windows directly during calls like Tk_ResizeWindow. Instead, wait until
actual event is received. This makes updates happen at same time as
callbacks.
3/6/92 (bug fix) TkMenubutton.c was dumping core when a menubutton was
pressed at a time when there was no associated menu for the button.
3/6/92 (new feature) Added Tk script library directory with official
Tk initialization file "tk.tcl". Other procedures used by Tk are in
other files. Tk procedures and variables all have names starting
with "tk_". Also added Wish startup script "wish.tcl", which sources
both the Tk and Tcl startup scripts. This means that things like
auto-loading and abbreviation expansion are now available in wish.
Added new variables tk_library, tk_priv, and tk_version.
3/6/92 (new feature) It's now possible to set bindings for whole
classes by using the class name in the bind command. For example,
"bind Button <Enter> {puts stdout Hi!}" will cause a message to be
printed whenever any mouse button is entered. Can also use "all"
to set bindings for all widgets. Widget-specific bindings override
class bindings which override "all" bindings.
3/6/92 (reorganization) Changed buttons (all flavors) and listboxes to
eliminate all hard-wired behavior. Instead, default behavior is set
by class bindings in tk.tcl. Also set up class bindings for menus,
menubuttons, and entries, which previously had no default behavior at
all. Scrollbars and scales still have hard-wired behavior that can't
be overridden.
3/7/92 (look-and-feel change) Changed listboxes and entries and menus
to use button 2 for scanning instead of button 3. This is more consistent
with the official Motif use of button 2 for dragging.
3/10/92 (new features) Added more options to "winfo" command: screencells,
screendepth, screenmmheight, screenmmwidth, and screenvisual.
3/13/92 (bug fix) Event sharing mechanism (tkShare.c) wasn't checking
to see whether window was mapped before sharing events with it.
3/16/92 (bug fix) Tk_SetInternalBorderWidth was passing wrong window to
geometry-management procedures, causing core-dumps when menu buttons
had their border widths changed.
3/16/92 (bug fix) Menus were setting their geometry directory rather
than using Tk_GeometryRequest mechanism.
3/17/92 (new feature) Added -cursor option to all widgets to set the
active cursor for the widget. Also added TK_CONFIG_ACTIVE_CURSOR
configure type.
3/18/92 (new feature) Implemented generalized screen coordinates to
allow resolution-independent specification in many cases (but pixel-
based coordinates are still OK). Added Tk_GetScreenMM(),
Tk_GetPixels(), new configure types TK_CONFIG_SCREEN_MM and
TK_CONFIG_PIXELS. Changed widgets to use this new configure types
wherever possible (a few of the more complex cases still haven't
been taken care of yet). Added "pixels" and "fpixels" options to
"winfo" command.
3/18/92 (new feature) First cut at canvas widgets is done and part of
the official Tk now. Canvases display text and structured graphics,
and allow you to bind commands to events related to the text and
graphics.
3/21/92 (new feature) Added new "place" command. It implements a
new geometry manager that provides fixed placement, rubber-sheet
placement, and combinations of the two. Eliminated the commands
"move", "resize", and "map" that were provided by main.c but never
officially supported; the placer provides all of this functionality.
3/23/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkWm.c where top-level windows were
occasionally not being given the right size. The problem occurred
when a string of resizes happened all in a row (such as deleting all
the windows in an application and then recreating them).
3/23/92 (new feature) Added Tk_CoordsToWindow procedure and
"winfo containing" command. These may be used to locate the window
containing a given point.
3/28/92 (new feature) Added "-exportselection" option to listboxes,
so that listbox selection need not necessarily be the X selection.
4/12/92 (bug fix) Changed menu buttons to store name of menubutton
in the associated variable, rather than the name of the menu. This
is necessary in order to allow several menu buttons to share the
same menu.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
4/12/92 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that occurred in tkError.c when
removing the first error record from the error list.
4/15/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkBind.c that prevented <KeyPress-1>
event specifications from being processed correctly: the "1" was
treated as a button name rather than a keysym.
4/18/92 (new feature) Added Tk_DefineCursor and Tk_UndefineCursor
procedures.
4/18/92 (new feature) Major revision to listboxes. Can now scroll and
scan in both x and y, plus -exportselection option allows selection not
to be exported. The "view" widget command has been replaced by "xview"
and "yview", and the "scan" widget command has a new syntax.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
4/18/92 (new feature) Added -exportselection option to entries, so you
can select whether you want the entry selection to be the X selection
or not.
4/24/92 (new features) Added TK_CONFIG_CUSTOM type to Tk_ConfigureWidget,
plus added new flags TK_CONFIG_NULL_OK, TK_CONFIG_DONT_SET_DEFAULT,
and TK_CONFIG_OPTION_SPECIFIED. Several other new types, such as
TK_CONFIG_CAP_STYLE, were also added as part of implementing canvases.
4/29/92 (bug fix) Changed "-selector" default for menus to have separate
values for mono and color.
4/30/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkListbox.c where it occasionally generated
bogus scroll commands (last index less than first).
4/30/92 (reorganization) Moved demos directory to "library/demos".
---------------------- Release 2.0, 5/1/92 -------------------------
5/2/92 (bug fix) Fixed problem in tkListbox.c where it was doing too many
redisplays after repeated insertions. Also reduced number of invocations
of scrollbar commands.
5/7/92 (portability improvement) Changed main.c not to use TK_EXCEPTION
flag; it isn't needed and it causes problems on some systems.
5/9/92 (bug fix) Plugged core leaks in tkListbox.c and tkBind.c
5/9/92 (bug fix) TkBind.c was accidentally deleting bindings during
attempts to print non-existent bindings.
5/11/92 (bug fix) Maximum name length for applications (name used in
"send" commands) was too short (only 20); increased to 1000. Also
fixed bug related to over-long names that caused core dumps.
5/13/92 (bug fix) tkShare.c was using a dangling pointer if a share
group was deleted as a side-effect of a shared event.
5/13/92 (bug fix) Various initialization and core leak problems in
tkGC.c, tkSend.c, tkMenu.c, tkEvent.c, tkCanvas.c, tkCanvPoly.c,
tkCanvLine.c, tkListbox.c, tkEntry.c.
5/13/92 (bug fix) Empty entries could be scanned off the left edge,
displaying a garbage character.
5/13/92 (bug fix) Fixed a few problems with window manager interactions,
such as tendency for windows to spontaneously shrink in size. By no
means are all of the problems fixed, though.
5/13/92 (performance optimization) Changed Tk_GeometryRequest not to
invoke geometry manager unless requested size has changed.
---------------------- Release 2.1, 5/14/92 -------------------------
5/1/92 (new features) Added flags like TK_IDLE_EVENTS to Tk_DoWhenIdle,
plus added "idletasks" option to "update" command. Tk_DoWhenIdle arguments
look different now, but the change should be upward-compatible.
5/17/92 (new feature/bug fix) Added support for VisibilityNotify events
to the "bind" command. For some reason they weren't supported previously.
5/17/92 (new feature) Added "tkwait" command.
5/17/92 (new feature) Added "grab" command.
5/17/92 (new feature) Added "-width" option to messages. Also changed
messages to use the computed (i.e. desired) line length when displaying,
not the actual width of the window.
5/17/92 (bug fixes) Did some more fiddling with tkWm.c in the hopes
of improving window manager interactions. Now there won't be more than
one configure request outstanding to the wm at a time.
5/17/92 (bug fix) Arrowheads on canvas lines weren't being translated
or scaled correctly.
5/20/92 (bug fix) Page-mode scrolling didn't work correctly for canvases
(wrong windowUnits was passed to scrollbars).
5/20/92 (bug fix) Changed scrollbars not to lose highlight when pointer
leaves window with button down. Also changed redisplay to double-buffer
for smoother redraws.
5/21/92 (new feature) Added "gray50" and "gray25" as predefined bitmaps.
5/22/92 (new feature) Buttons can now be disabled using the "-state" and
"-disabledforeground configuration options. The "activate" and "deactivate"
widget commands for buttons are now obsolete and will go away soon.
Please change Tcl scripts not to use them.
5/23/92 (new feature) Entries can now be disabled using the "-state"
config option. Also improved class bindings for entries to keep the
cursor visible in the window when operations occur. Also made slight
improvements in the way redisplay is done.
5/23/92 (new feature) Added "-textvariable" option to entries so that
the text in an entry can be tied to the value of a global variable in
a fashion similar to buttons.
5/27/92 (new feature) Added "-textvariable" and "-anchor" options to
messages.
5/28/92 (new feature) Added "-padx" and "-pady" and "-underline" options
to menubuttons.
5/28/92 (feature change) Changed "-width" and "-height" options on
all flavors of buttons and menubuttons so that they are orthogonal
to "-padx" and "-pady". It used to be that -width overrode -padx
(no padding). Now they accumulate.
5/29/92 (new feature) Added "-disabledforeground" option to menus and
all flavors of buttons (can specify color for disabled things rather
than just using stipple to gray out).
5/29/92 (new features) Added many new options to menu entries:
-activebackground, -background, -font, -state, -underline. The
"disable" and "enable" widget commands for menus are now obsolete
and will go away soon. Please change Tcl scripts not to use them.
5/29/92 (new features) Added "atom" and "atomname" options to "winfo"
command.
5/29/92 (new feature) Wrote tk_listboxSingleSelect procedure, which
can be used to change listbox behavior so that only a single item is
selected at once.
6/1/92 (new feature) Added new modifier names "Meta" and "Alt" for
"bind" command.
6/3/92 (new feature) Added "winfo toplevel" command.
6/3/92 (new feature) Made several changes for greater Motif compliance,
including:
- menu retention if you click and release in the menu button,
- keyboard traversal of menus (see traversal.man)
- no widget flashing if you set $tk_strictMotif to 1
6/15/92 (bug fix) Fixed problem in tkBind.c where command string for a
binding could get reallocated while the command was being executed (e.g.
bindings that delete or change themselves).
6/15/92 (bug fix) Don't allow "tabWidth" field to become zero in tkFont.c:
can cause core dumps for fonts that don't enough information to compute
tab widths.
6/19/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in binding mechanism that caused structure-
related events to be reported both to the correct window and its parent.
7/14/92 (bug fix) Changed tkColor.c not to free colors for visual types
StaticGray or StaticColor.
7/15/92 (new feature) Text widgets now exist. They display any number of
lines of text with a variety of display formats, and include hypertext
facilities. See the manual page for details.
7/20/92 (bug fix) If a top-level window was put in the iconic state to
begin with, it could be deiconified with "wm deiconify .foo" until it had
first been deiconified by hand from the window manager. Tk was getting
confused and thought the window was mapped when it wasn't.
7/29/92 (bug fix) Don't permit rectangles or ovals to have zero-sized
dimensions. Round up to at least one pixel.
7/29/92 (new features) Major upgrade to canvases:
- new item types: arc, window, bitmap
- added Bezier spline support for lines and polygons
- rectangles and ovals now center their outlines on the shape,
rather than drawing them entirely inside the shape
- new "coords" and "bbox" widget commands
- new "-tags" option for all item types.
- new "-confine" option to prevent scrolling off edge of canvas.
8/6/92 (new feature) Added "-width" and "-height" options to frames.
The "-geometry" option is now obsolete and should be removed from Tcl
scripts: it may go away in the future.
8/7/92 (bug fix) Error messages in Tk_ParseArgv were sometimes including
the option name where they should have included its value.
---------------------- Release 2.2, 8/7/92 -------------------------
8/7/92 (bug fix) Changed tkCanvas.c to be more conservative in the area
it passes to XCopyArea.
8/8/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkTextDisp.c that sometimes caused core
dumps when text views changed (e.g. typing return on last line of screen).
8/8/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in menu.tcl that caused errors when using
keyboard to traverse over separator menu entries.
8/10/92 (bug fix) Changed to use OPEN_MAX instead of MAX_FD to compute
maximum # of open files.
8/10/92 (bug fix) Canvases weren't updating scrollbars on window size
changes. They also weren't recentering canvases on window size changes.
8/10/92 (bug fix) There were still a few places where commands were being
invoked at local level instead of global level (e.g. commands associated
with buttons and menu entries).
8/10/92 (bug fix) TkBind.c used to ignore explicit shift modifiers for
all keys (i.e. <Shift-Tab> was treated the same as <Tab>). Modified to
allow explicit request for shift modifier, like <Shift-Tab>.
8/13/92 (feature change) Changed default fonts to request "Adobe" fonts
explicitly.
8/16/92 (bug fixes) Modified tkCanvArc.c and tkTrig.c to increase slightly
the bounding boxes for arcs, in order to make sure that proper redisplay
occurs when arcs are moved (little turds were getting left behind).
8/16/92 (bug fix) Modified tkCanvas.c not to redraw at all if the redisplay
area is off the screen. Also, only do a background clear for the portion
of the redraw area that is on-screen. Also, reduced size of off-screen
pixmaps used for redisplaying, which speeds up redisplay in some cases.
8/19/92 (bug fix) Canvases that were taller than wide were not being
redisplayed properly.
8/20/92 (new feature) Added Tk_CreateGenericHandler procedure for trapping
all X events (useful for tracing, watching non-Tk windows, etc.).
8/21/92 (bug fix) Widgets weren't always being notified when they got
the focus back again (the problem had to do with grabs and menus in
particular).
8/21/92 (new feature) Added "-state" option to scale widgets.
8/22/92 (new feature) Changed tkBitmap.c to allow tilde-substitution
to occur in bitmap file names.
---------------------- Release 2.3, 8/24/92 -------------------------
8/27/92 (bug fix) Changes to -activebackground and -activeforeground options
for menubuttons were being lost.
8/27/92 (bug fix) Entries were selecting last character when a B1-drag
occurred past the right edge of the text.
8/28/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in canvases where a grab during a button
press caused the canvas state to lock up so that it didn't select a
new current item.
9/7/92 (bug fix) Changed tkMenu.c to accept numerical menu indices that
are out of range; now it just rounds them off to the nearest existing
entry.
9/7/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkTextDisp.c that caused core dumps when
invoking "yview -pickplace" widget command on texts that are too small
to hold any lines at all.
9/11/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkTextDisp.c that caused core dumps
when adding tags to non-existent lines.
9/11/92 (bug fix) Line items in canvases didn't permit an empty fill
color (i.e. couldn't make them transparent).
9/14/92 (reorganization) Changed manual entries to use .1, .3, and .n
extensions. Added "install" target to Makefile to suggest how Tk should
be installed.
9/16/92 (bug fix) Changed tkSend.c to always specify the root window of
screen 0 rather than using DefaultRootWindow. DefaultRootWindow doesn't
always go to screen 0 on displays with multiple screens, which can result
in send's not being possible between the screens.
9/18/92 (new feature) Added three new options to "wm" command: "protocol",
"client", and "command". These provide support for window manager protocols
such as WM_DELETE_WINDOW and WM_TAKE_FOCUS, plus support for the
WM_CLIENT_MACHINE and WM_COMMAND properties.
9/30/92 (new feature) Implemented color model support, including
"tk colormodel" command and Tk_GetColorModel and Tk_SetColorModel
procedures. These allow you to force mono operation even on a color
display. Also changed color allocation not to give errors when colors
run out, but just to switch to a mono color model.
10/1/92 (bug fixes) Fixed two bugs in tkTextBTree.c that caused core dumps
during text deletion.
10/5/92 (bug work-around) Changed tkColor.c to ignore errors when freeing
colors. This is needed to work around improper reference count management
for colormap entries under X11/NeWS.
10/7/92 (new feature) Added support for different visual types, including
procedures Tk_SetWindowVisual and Tk_SetWindowColormap, plus macros
Tk_Visual, Tk_Depth, and Tk_Colormap. The code for this was contributed
by Paul Mackerras.
10/7/92 (new feature) Added Tk_IsTopLevel macro.
10/12/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tk.tcl that caused torn-off menus with
cascaded children not to track mouse motion correctly (the cascade
switched in response to mouse motions within the cascaded child).
10/12/92 (new feature) Major changes to focus handling:
(a) Tk watches FocusIn and FocusOut events for focus changes, not Enter
and Leave, so it will work better with explicit-focus-model window
managers (e.g. mwm in default mode).
(b) Tk generates FocusIn and FocusOut events for the focus window now.
The old procedural interface (via Tk_CreateFocusHandler) is obsolete
and is no longer used inside Tk. It is still supported for
compatibility, but won't be for long. You should change your code
to use FocusIn and FocusOut events instead.
(c) The model for FocusIn and FocusOut events is different than the
one described in Xlib documentation. See the "focus" manual entry
for details.
(d) If there is no input focus then keyboard events are discarded. They
used to be directed to the mouse pointer window, although this wasn't
documented. The focus now defaults to the root window.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
10/15/92 (bug fix) Fixed text items in canvases where they didn't
display the insertion cursor if the item had no characters in it.
10/26/92 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkSelect.c that occasionally caused
BadWindow X protocol errors when retrieving the selection. Tk wasn't
making sure that a window existed before using it to retrieve the
selection.
10/30/92 (feature change) Changed canvases so that if the scroll region
is smaller than the window and -confine is on, the scroll region isn't
forced to be centered in the window; it can be anywhere that meets the
confinement restrictions.
11/2/92 (new feature) Added "winfo exists" command.
11/5/92 (new feature) Changed DoWhenIdle handlers so that if a new
when-idle handler is created as a side-effect of another when-idle
handler, the new handler isn't invoked until Tk has first checked
for other events to process.
11/6/92 (bug fixes, new features) Major overhaul of window manager
interface:
(a) Tk should now work with virtual-root window managers;
(b) windows will now place more accurately on the screen and stay where
they're supposed to;
(c) size changes handled more reliably;
(d) code now works robustly in the face of withdrawals followed
immediately by deiconifications.
(e) Added new procedure Tk_GetVRootInfo and new options to "winfo" command:
vrootx, vrooty, vrootwidth, vrootheight.
(f) Added "overrideredirect" option to "wm".
(g) Fixed bug where change in width-only via "wm geom" didn't always work
(min and max window sizes weren't being set properly for the wm).
11/6/92 (bug fixes) Modified menus so that they work correctly with
virtual root window managers. Also fixed bug where menus didn't move
along with their associated windows, so that the menu popped up at
the old location of the window rather than its new location.
11/9/92 (new constraint) Made it illegal to give windows names that
start with upper-case letters, since such names will goof up the
option database by appearing to be classes rather than names.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
11/10/92 (new feature) Added Postscript output to canvases.
11/13/92 (bug fix) Changed default for maximum size passed to window
manager from 1000000 (which causes some wm's to make windows too large
when "maximized") to the size of the display.
11/14/92 (feature change) Major overhaul of menubuttons and pull-down
menus. Removed event-sharing code, including Tk_ShareEvents and
Tk_UnshareEvents. The -variable option for menubuttons has been
removed,and the "post" and "unpost" widget commands for menubuttons
no longer exist. The "post" widget command for menus no longer
allows a group option. The procedure tk_menus has been replaced
with a new procedure, tk_menuBar, which has a slightly different
interface.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
11/20/92 (new features, feature changes) Major overhaul of grab
mechanism to produce more correct event streams. Also changed Tcl
commands to require explicit window for grab releases (makes it
possible for grabs to work on multiple displays simultaneously).
The old "grab none" command no longer exists, but new options
have been added: "current", "release", "set", and "status".
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
11/20/92 (new feature) Use TK_LIBRARY environment variable to set library
directory location, if it is defined. Otherwise fall back on usual
compiled-in value.
11/25/92 (bug fix) "wm grid" command was using wrong window.
11/29/92 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that occurred when trying to use
placer on top-level windows: return error instead.
11/29/92 (bug fix) Selection retrieval wasn't making sure that the window
on whose behalf selection is being retrieved actually exists.
12/3/92 (new feature) Added support for Mode_switch key to support the
full ISO character set. Also added event handlers for MappingNotify
events so that Tk updates itself in response to keycode and modifier
changes.
12/6/92 (bug fix) Ignore recursive attempts to destroy window.
12/9/92 (new demos) Added "tcolor" and "rmt" demos.
12/10/92 (new features) Added "yposition" widget command for menus,
changed "delete" widget command to take an optional second index,
and changed -command option for cascade entries so that it is
invoked when the entry is activated rather than when it is invoked.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
12/12/92 (implementation change) Changed the procedures Tk_FreeBitmap,
Tk_NameOfBitmap, Tk_SizeOfBitmap, Tk_FreeCursor, Tk_NameOfCursor, and
Tk_FreeGC to require an addition Display argument. This is needed for
Tk to function correctly when an application has windows on multiple
displays.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
12/12/92 (new feature) Started creating a test suite. Right now it
only has a few tests.
12/12/92 (new feature) Modified the packer so that a window can be
packed in descendants of its parent (used to be restricted to the
parent alone). This makes it possible to hide extra windows used
for geometry management. Also, can use generalized screen distances
in the "pack" command.
12/16/92 (feature change) Boolean options such as -exportselection now
print as 0/1 rather than true/false (both the default and current values
print this way). This makes it easier to use these values in expressions.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
12/16/92 (name change) The classes "RadioButton" and "CheckButton" have
been renamed "Radiobutton" and "Checkbutton" for consistency. From now
on widget class names will have exactly one capital letter.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
12/16/92 (new feature) Added -setgrid option to listboxes.
12/16/92 (new feature) The "destroy" command, and the "delete" widget
command for canvases, now accept any number of arguments, including
zero.
12/16/92 (new feature) Changed internal TkBindError procedure to
Tk_BackgroundError and exported it to Tk clients.
12/16/92 (option name change) Changed the place command's "dependents"
option to "slaves" for better consistency with documentation.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
12/16/92 (name changes) Renamed the "cursor*" options in entries and
canvases to "insert*". Also renamed the "cursor" index to "insert" and
the "cursor" widget command to "icursor". This was done to avoid
confusion between the mouse cursor and the insertion cursor.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
---------------------- Release 3.0, 12/17/92 -------------------------
12/17/92 (bug fix) Fixed dangling-pointer bug in canvases that occurred
if a <LeaveNotify> binding deleted the current item.
12/18/92 (bug fix) Core dump occurred if "wm" invoked with no arguments.
Also, tkWm.c wasn't properly setting WM_CLASS property on application
startup.
12/18/92 (incorrect documentation) Updated manual entries for Tk_FreeGC,
Tk_FreeCursor, and Tk_FreeBitmap to reflect new interface that requires
"display" argument.
12/18/92 (missing documentation) Added documentation for the canvas
"postscript" command, which was missing in the 3.0 release.
12/21/92 (bug fixes) There were lots of problems with the new installation
targets in the Makefiles, such as using "cp -f" and not installing
prolog.ps. Made several other miscellaneous improvements to Makefile.
12/21/92 (bug fix) Arrowheads on canvas line items weren't moving properly
after coordinate changes made with the "coords" widget command.
12/21/92 (bug fix) If top-level window was initially withdrawn, couldn't
ever deiconify it again.
12/21/92 (bug fix) Double-button event sequences didn't always trigger
properly when grabs were in effect.
12/22/92 (bug fix) The packer didn't display any top or bottom windows
after a left or right expanded window, and vice versa. Also made the
distribution of space among expanded windows more even.
12/28/92 (new features) Several improvements to selection:
(a) Added procedures Tk_ClearSelection and Tk_DeleteSelHandler.
(b) Added "clear" and "own" options to "selection" command, extended
"handle" option to delete handlers.
(c) Error returns from "selection handle" scripts are now turned into
selection retrieval errors ("no such selection") rather than an
empty selection.
(d) Tk responds automatically for targets APPLICATION (name of application,
so you can "send" to it) and WINDOW_NAME (name of window within
application.
(e) Added test file "select.test" to test suite.
12/28/92 (bug fix) Fixed problem with flashing menus that occurred
because menu.tcl was willing to unpost and then immediately repost
the same menu.
1/6/93 (bug fix) Test for UnmapNotify events in tkPack.c used = instead
of ==.
1/21/93 (bug fix) Changed many widgets to eliminate use of
DefaultVisualofScreen, DefaultColormap, etc. and use the visuals
and colormaps for the actual windows instead. Also changed to
inherit colormaps and windows from parent by default.
1/21/93 (new features) Added new winfo options "cells", "depth", and
"visual".
1/23/93 (bug fix) Fixed problem with text display that could result
in negative XCopyArea heights being sent to X server. This causes some
servers (e.g. some versions of OpenWindows) to crash.
1/25/93 (new feature) Added -postcommand option to menus, so that menus
can be reconfigured before each posting.
1/29/93 (feature change) Changed %X and %Y in bindings so that they
refer to the virtual root rather than the true root. Although
potentially incompatible, this change should almost always "do the
right thing".
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
1/31/93 (bug fix) Changed "send" code to grab server while updating
the registry property (before this fix, two programs could allocate
the same interpreter name if they started up simultaneously). In
order to make this fix I had to change the code for reclaiming
names of dead interpreters in a way that sometimes allows dead
interpreters to persist in the registry.
2/1/93 (feature change) Changed entries to allow leftmost "visible"
character to be the end of the text (i.e. no characters actually visible).
This is needed so that the cursor can be displayed even if the last
actual character is too wide to fit in the window.
2/3/93 (bug fix) Fixed two bugs in tkFocus.c: (a) FocusIn events
were getting lost in some cases because the focus window hadn't been
created yet (e.g. new top-level window pops up underneath the mouse);
(b) Tk was accidentally triggering FocusOut events when the mouse
moved from a top-level window to one of its children.
2/4/93 (new feature) Added "visibility" option to "tkwait" command to make
it easier to wait for a new window to appear on the screen.
---------------------- Release 3.1, 2/5/93 -------------------------
2/10/93 (installation improvements) Makefile improvements: added RANLIB
variable for easier Sys-V installation, changed to use INCLUDE_DIR
properly, and added SHELL variable for SGI systems.
---------------------- Release 3.2, 2/11/93 -------------------------
2/11/93 (new feature) Added "wm state" command, and improved wm so that
the right thing will happen if you invoke "wm iconify" when a window is
withdrawn.
2/14/93 (bug fix) When -colormap option was used in generating Postscript
for canvases, Tk didn't add an extra space after the color command.
2/14/93 (new feature) Changed "extern" declarations in tk.h to "EXTERN",
which will use the definition of EXTERN from tcl.h and work correctly
in C++ programs.
2/18/93 (bug fix) Item-specific bindings weren't getting deleted from
canvas items when the items were deleted. As a result, they could
suddenly re-appear for new items if the new items were allocated a
record at the same addresses as the old ones.
2/18/93 (feature reversal) Changed "after" back again, so that it sleeps
*without* responding to events when it is invoked with just one argument;
can always use tkwait plus after with additional arguments to achieve
the effect of responding to events.
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
2/20/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkWindow.c where colormaps weren't being
set correctly for new top-level windows on different screens than their
parents (the bug results in X protocol errors: "invalid Colormap
parameter").
2/22/93 (bug fix) Changed "#!/usr/local/wish" in demo scripts to
"#!/usr/local/bin/wish" to reflect new location of binary.
2/22/93 (new feature) Added new reliefs "groove" and "ridge".
2/25/93 (new feature) Added new built-in bitmaps: "error", "hourglass",
"info", "question", "questhead", and "warning". Also added new demo in
"widget" to display all of these (under the Miscellaneous menu).
2/25/93 (improved implementation) Changed DrawText procedure in
prolog for outputting Postscript from canvases to use stringwidth
instead of charpath+pathbbox: avoids limitcheck problems with long
strings, and also properly includes space characters in calculation.
2/25/93 (bug fix) Fixed several bugs in library/menu.tcl that caused
menu traversal to mis-behave when menu had no entries.
2/26/93 (new feature) Added "wm frame" command.
3/6/93 (bug fix) Mwm in click-to-focus mode was goofing up grabs so that
pull-down menus were sometimes unresponsive. Modified tk.tcl to ignore
the spurious B1-Enter events generated by mwm, plus modified tkGrab.c to
release simulated button grabs correctly.
3/8/93 (bug fix) Tk had wrong interpretation of "lbearing" font metric,
which caused text to be displayed at the wrong horizontal position in
several places (labels/buttons, listboxes, canvas text, scales). This
change will cause slight changes in the way certain widgets are
displayed.
3/12/93 (bug fix) Fixed core dumps that occurred in tkEntry.c because of
zero values in entryPtr->avgWidth.
3/12/93 (bug fix) Tk_CoordsToWindow was using root coordinates always.
Changed to use virtual-root coordinates when a virtual-root window
manager is being used. Before this fix, "winfo containing" didn't
return the correct window under virtual-root window managers.
3/18/93 (bug fix) Modified tkWm.c so that Tk doesn't fight with window
manager over position of window; it just takes what the window manager
gives it.
3/21/93 (new feature) Changed menus to display cascade entries with
standard Motif arrows at right side.a
3/22/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkPack.c that was causing memory to
get trashed with the integer value 1.
3/22/93 (bug fix) Canvas text didn't print correctly if it contained
an open paren (or other special character) immediately followed by
an octal digit.
3/22/93 (bug fix) Text widgets didn't redisplay properly in cases
where two or more groups of lines both got taller at the same time
(e.g. from tag changes), causing two separate bit copies where the
first bit copy's target area overlapped the source area for
the second bit copy.
4/1/93 (bug fix) Changed canvases to use ISO Latin-1 font encoding
if that's supported by the Postscript interpreter. Also added workaround
for bug in NeWSprint related to stipple fills.
4/1/93 (bug fixes) Made various changes to focusing and grabs to
eliminate extraneous focus events and generally improve behavior.
4/2/93 (bug fix) Modified tkWm.c not to wait indefinitely for the window
manager to map or reconfigure a window: this led to deadlock in some
situations, such as creating a new top-level window with a grab held.
4/19/93 (bug fix) Fixed another bug in tkWm.c that caused windows to walk
across the screen in some situations. Also fixed problem where rapid
posting and unposting of cascaded submenus (or menus?) could cause Tk
to become confused about whether or not a window is mapped (added
TkWmUnmapWindow procedure to make top-level unmaps synchronous).
4/24/93 (feature change) Changed the "after" command to allow times
less than or equal to 0, and to use 0 whenever they occur.
4/26/93 (new feature) Implemented security check for "send" as proposed
by Bennett Todd: incoming sends are now rejected unless (a) xhost-style
access control is enabled and (b) the list of authorized hosts is
empty. In other words, you have to use xauth to use send. This feature
can be disabled by setting the TK_NO_SECURITY flag at compile-time.
5/15/93 (improvement) Switched to use Tcl_PrintDouble whenever returning
real values as Tcl results. This potentially allows higher precision.
Switched to use %.15g whenever printing reals in Postscript files.
However, the change Tcl_PrintDouble causes incompatibilities. For
now, it's disabled with a macro in tclInt.h that redefines Tcl_PrintDouble.
Tk 4.0 will delete the macro, and you can also delete it now if you
want the better (but incompatible) behavior.
5/19/93 (bug fix) Fixed divide-by-zero problem that could occur in
closeness calculations for canvas oval items.
5/30/93 (bug fix) PROP and CONFIG were accidentally #defined to the same
value in tkBind.c, which could cause incorrect %-substitutions in event
bindings in a few exotic cases.
6/4/93 (improvement) Changed to use GNU autoconfig for configuration.
Makefile format changed, and Tcl is no longer automatically included
in Tk releases.
6/7/93 (bug fix) Fixed off-by-one error in rounding negative coordinates
during redisplay of canvases.
6/9/93 (feature improvement) Modified default bindings for entries to
keep one character visible to the left of the cursor during backspaces.
6/18/93 (feature improvement) Added patchlevel.h, for use in coordinating
future patch releases, and also added tk_patchLevel variable to make the
patch level available in scripts.
6/26/93 (bug fix) Fixed numeric problems in scales that occurred with
very large scale values.
6/26/93 (bug fix) Polygon items in canvases could cause core dumps if
the "coords" widget command was used to add one new coordinate.
6/26/93 (bug fix) Changed canvases to handle large stipple patterns
gracefully (stipples used to jump around during redisplay and lose
coherency).
7/1/93 (syntax change, new feature) Implemented the new packer syntax
as described in the book. For now the old syntax will continue to be
supported too. Converting over is straightforward except (a) use
"-anchor" instead of "frame", and (b) padding is different (separate
internal and external padding, plus pad amounts are *on each side*
instead of total). Also added "pack propagate" command for keeping
the packer from setting the master's requested size.
7/1/93 Changed copyright notices. The effect is the same as with the
old notices, but the new notices more clearly disclaim liability.
7/7/93 (new feature) Added support for window stacking order. Windows
will now stack in the order created (most recent on top), plus "raise"
and "lower" commands may be used to restack (Tk_RestackWindow procedure
is available from C level).
7/7/93 (reorganization) Moved main.c to tkMain.c, reorganized it to
call Tcl_AppInit just like tclsh does, and added argv0 variable to contain
application name, and added default Tcl_AppInit procedure for wish.
Also added tkTest.c to hold C code for testing.
7/7/93 (new feature) Added new Tk-specific "exit" command, which cleans
up properly before exiting. It replaces the Tcl "exit" command, and
can be used in place of "destroy .".
7/9/93 (new features) Added tk_dialog library procedure that creates
dialogs with a bitmap, message, and any number of buttons. Also changed
default tkerror procedure to use tk_dialog plus offer the user a chance
to see a Tcl stack trace.
-------------------- Release 3.3 Beta 1, 7/9/93 -------------------------
7/12/93 (configuration changes) Eliminated leading blank line in
configure script; provided separate targets in Makefile for installing
binary and non-binary information; fixed -lnsl and -lsocket handling
in configure; added autoconf support for fd_set type; check for various
typedefs like mode_t and size_t, and provide substitutes if they
don't exist; don't include tkAppInit.o in libtk.a; try to locate the
X includes and library in all of the standard places for various systems.
7/14/93 (new feature) Modified tkMain.c so that it stores the value
of the -display command-line option into the DISPLAY environment
variable, if it is specified.
7/15/93 (feature removal) Removed auto-initialization feature from
Tk_ConfigureWidget, so that you must once again initialize all fields
of a widget record before calling Tk_ConfigureWidget. This restores
the behavior back to what it was in Tk 3.2.
7/16/93 (bug fix) Modified tkBind.c to ignore the Caps Lock modifier
unless it is explicitly requested in a binding. Without this fix,
buttons and menus and other things didn't work if the Caps Lock key
was active.
-------------------- Release 3.3 Beta 2, 7/21/93 -------------------------
7/21/93 (new feature) Change "make install" so that it will modify the
#! lines on demo scripts to reflect the place where the wish binary
is installed.
7/23/93 (new feature) Added Tk_MainWindow procedure that returns the
main window associated with a Tcl interpreter. This is intended for
use by Tcl_AppInit and other initialization procedures.
7/24/93 (configuration improvements) Changed configure script not to
omplain about "fd_set" missing if it's defined in <sys/select.h>.
7/28/93 (bug fix) "Bad Match - parameter mismatch" errors were
sometimes occurring when several top-level windows got created
at the same time, due to wrong choice of sibling when stacking
windows.
8/14/93 (new feature) Added support for tcl_prompt1 and tcl_prompt2
to wish main program: makes prompts user-settable.
8/19/93 (bug fix) Bindings to event sequences like "aD" never matched
because the Shift key has to be pressed before D. Modified Tk to
ignore extraneous keypresses if they are for modifier keys.
8/26/93 (configuration changes) Added Tk_Init, modified Tcl_AppInit
procedures to use it and Tcl_Init. Added support for .wishrc file.
8/28/93 (new feature) The main window is now a legitimate toplevel
widget.
-------------------- Release 3.3 Beta 3, 8/30/93 -------------------------
9/2/93 (bug fix) The packer wasn't always relaying out a master after
changes to some of the configuration options of its slaves.
9/2/93 (bug fix) The binding mechanism made it impossible for patterns
like <Double-ButtonRelease-1> to ever match.
9/2/93 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that occurred for bitmap canvas items
if Postscript is generated but no -bitmap option has been specified.
9/4/93 (enhancement) Slight improvements to menu traversal: set menu
traversal bindings for menubar window in tk_menuBar, plus trigger
traversal on <Any-Alt-Keypress> instead of <Alt-Keypress>.
9/9/93 (bug fix) Changed tkBind.c so that the Num_Lock key doesn't
prevent events from triggering bindings.
9/9/93 (bug fix) Changed tkOption.c to always fetch RESOURCE_MANAGER
property from root window of screen 0, rather than using default
screen.
9/9/93 (bug fix) Entry widgets weren't allocating quite enough width
for themselves. Fixed this and changed the size computation to match
what's done for buttons and texts.
9/16/93 (bug fix) Changed tkMain.c not to call exit C procedure directly;
instead always invoke "exit" Tcl command so that application can redefine
the command to do additional cleanup.
-------------------- Release 3.3, 9/29/93 -------------------------
9/30/93 (bug fix) Packer wasn't unmapping slaves when master got deleted.
9/30/93 (bug fix) Binding event sequences such as <Right> were being
misprinted as ASCII characters such as "S".
10/6/93 (bug fix) Canvases weren't unmapping window items when the canvas
got unmapped, which caused problems for window items whose windows weren't
descendants of the canvas (they got left on the screen).
10/7/93 (feature change) NULL proc arguments to Tk_CreateFileHandler used
to have a special undocumented meaning (fd was display); eliminated this
special interpretation.
10/7/93 (configuration change) Eliminated dependency of tkMain.c on
tkInt.h and tkConfig.h, so that it's easier for people to copy the file
out of the source directory to make modified versions.
10/8/93 (bug fix) 3.0 introduced a bug where the class of the application
wasn't being set properly, so options based on the application class
weren't triggering. Fixed by adding new argument to Tk_CreateMainWindow.
10/11/93 (bug fix) Fixed bug in tkTextBTree.c where some deletions would
cause core dumps due to halfwayLinePtr not getting set correctly.
10/18/93 (bug fix) Fixed a couple of bugs that made it hard to actually
display N characters in an entry with "-width N" (tended to scroll the
entry so that only N-1 characters were visible at once).
10/22/93 (bug fix) During configuration, XINCLUDE_DIR and XLIBRARY_DIR
weren't overriding xmkmf like they were supposed to.
10/23/93 (new feature) Allow negative scale factors in canvas "scale"
widget command.
10/23/93 (bug fix) Grabs weren't being cleaned up right if the grab
window was deleted, causing core-dumps in some cases.
10/23/93 (bug fix) tk_TextSelectTo wasn't checking to be sure that
the "anchor" mark exists.
10/27/93 (bug fix) Fixed core dump that could occur in a text widget if
the scroll command modifies the text.
11/1/93 (bug fix) Change texts so that the -yscrollcommand option is
invoked at display time, not when the window is re-layed out. This
eliminated various core dumps that could occur if -yscrollcommand modified
the text.
-------------------- Release 3.4, 11/04/93 -------------------------
Note: there is no 3.5 release. It was flawed and was thus withdrawn
shortly after it was released.
11/12/93 (bug fix) TkMain.c didn't compile on some systems because of
R_OK in call to "access". Changed to eliminate call to "access".
-------------------- Release 3.6, 11/26/93 -------------------------
