*
* Released and tagged Tcllib 1.7 ========================
*
2004-09-23 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
* snit.test: Fixed the tests which were dependent on the exact
order of results returned by [array names]. Which failed for Tcl
8.5. Added lsort and updated expected results, for canonical
comparison.
2004-09-18 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.man: Documented hierarchical methods and typemethods.
* Everything: Updated version to 0.97.
2004-09-16 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl In "component foo -public name", the "-public
name" part is now implemented as "delegate method
{name *} to foo".
* snit.test Added tests for "$type info typemethods", "$self
info typemethods" and "$self info methods" for the
case of hierarchical methods/typemethods, and
fixed related bugs in snit.tcl.
2004-09-14 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Modified the implementation of hierarchical methods;
* snit.test this involved extending the syntax of method
"using" patterns to better support the
hiearchical case.
* snit.tcl Extended the "delegate method *" and
* snit.test "delegate typemethod *" syntax to work better with
hierarchical methods.
E.g., "delegate method {tail *} to tail" now maps
"$self tail wag" to "$tail wag"
2004-09-12 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Added support for hierarchical type methods,
* snit.test analogously to the support for regular methods.
* README.txt
* snit.tcl Refactored the compilation of hierarchical
* snit.test methods and typemethods to remove duplicated code.
2004-09-10 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Added support for hierarchical methods: methods
* snit.test with submethods. The documentation has not yet
* README.txt been updated.
* snit.tcl Bug fix: "delegate method {a b} to comp" now produces
* snit.test the call "$comp a b" instead of "$comp a_b".
2004-09-04 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Bug fix: read-only options were read-only only
* snit.test if they weren't set at creation time; the
* README.txt configure cache wasn't being cleared properly
after creation.
2004-08-28 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl: Minor tweaks to instance creation to improve
* dictionary speed. No major gain. Also, -simpledispatch yes
* snit.man now supports instance renaming again.
* snitfaq.man
2004-08-22 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Defined the -simpledispatch pragma. Updated
* snit.test the test suite and the relevant documentation.
* snit.man
* README.txt
* snitfaq.man
* dictionary
2004-08-14 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Defined the -hastypemethods pragma, and added
* snit.test relevant tests and documentation.
* snit.man
* README.txt
* snitfaq.man
2004-08-12 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Under appropriate conditions, calling a
* snit.test snit::type command with no arguments will create
* snit.man an instance with an automatically generated name.
* README.txt
2004-08-11 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Added the -hasinfo pragma, along with the
* snit.test appropriate tests. Updated documentation.
* snit.man
* README.txt
* snit.tcl The "configure", "configurelist" and "cget"
* snit.test instance methods, along with the "options"
* snit.man instance variable, are defined only if the
* README.txt type defines at least one option (either
locally or by delegation).
2004-08-07 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* All files Updated to Snit V0.96 for post-0.95 development.
Fixed bug: methods called via [mymethod] can now
return exotic return codes, e.g.,
"return -code break"
2004-08-04 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snitfaq.man Updated the Snit FAQ document.
* snit.man Finalized Snit V0.95, and updated the version number
* snit.tcl throughout.
* pkgIndex.tcl
* README.txt
2004-07-27 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.man Updated the manpage to describe the new "pragma"
statement. Also, changed the SNIT acronym in the
title to "Simple Now In Tcl", i.e., objects are
now simple.
* snit.tcl Added another pragma, -canreplace. If false
* snit.test (the default) snit::types can no longer create
* README.txt instances which replace existing Tcl commands.
* snit.man Setting "pragma -canreplace yes" restores the
* dictionary previous behavior.
* snit.tcl The type definition statements "variable" and
* snit.test "typevariable" now take a "-array" option that
* README.txt allows them to initialize array variables with
* snit.man an "array set" list.
* snit.test Fixed Snit bug 899207 (snit test failures)
* snit.tcl Added new instance introspection methods
* snit.test "info typemethods" and "info methods", and a new
* README.txt type introspection typemethod "info typemethods".
* snit.man
* roadmap.txt
* snit.man Reviewed the entire man page, and made copious
changes and fixes.
* snit.tcl Revised many of the error messages to be more
* snit.test Tcl/Tk-like. Double-quotes are used instead of
single quotes, and terminal periods are omitted.
* snit.tcl Added some code to method and typemethod dispatch
* snit.test so that the return code (e.g., return -code break)
returned by the method/typemethod code is passed
along unchanged. This is mostly so that methods
and typemethods can conditionally break in event
bindings.
2004-07-26 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Implemented -configuremethod and configure command
* snit.test caching; added tests to ensure that the cache is
* roadmap.txt cleared when necessary. Implemented -validatemethod
* dictionary and added tests. Implemented -readonly and added
* README.txt tests.
* snit.man Updated the man page with the new option
definition syntax.
* snit.tcl Added the "pragma" statement, and three pragma
* snit.test options, -hastypeinfo, -hastypedestroy, and
* roadmap.txt -hasinstances, plus related tests. It still
* dictionary needs to be documented.
2004-07-25 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Renamed some procs for clarity, and repaired some
* roadmap.txt omissions in roadmap.txt. Added "cget" command
* snit.test caching for additional speed-up.
* dictionary.txt
2004-07-24 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl (::snit::RT.MethodCacheLookup): The cached command
is now generated as a list, not a string; this
improves the speed of method invocation by quite a
bit.
2004-07-24 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Consolidated the option typevariables into a
* dictionary single array, Snit_optionInfo. Implemented
* roadmap.txt parsing of the new option definition syntax;
* snit.test the -validatemethod, -configuremethod, and
-cgetmethod options as yet have no effect.
Added tests to ensure that the 'option' and
'delegate option' statements populate
Snit_optionInfo properly.
Added "starcomp" to the Snit_optionInfo array.
When "delegate option *" is used, "*" no longer
has a "target-$opt" entry, nor does it appear
in "delegated-$comp". Instead, "starcomp" is the
name of the component to which option "*" is
delegated, or "".
Reimplemented user-defined "cget" handlers using
the "-cgetmethod" option definition option.
The "oncget" statement now defines a method, and
sets the option.
2004-07-21 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* README.txt Updated to reflect recent changes.
* snit.man
2004-07-20 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Finished the refactoring job. All extraneous
* roadmap.txt code has been moved from the type templates to the
::snit:: runtime.
2004-07-19 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Refactored %TYPE%::Snit_optionget to
* roadmap.txt ::snit::RT.OptionDbGet. Refactored
%TYPE%::Snit_cleanup to ::snit::RT.DestroyObject,
%TYPE%::Snit_tracer to ::snit::RT.InstanceTrace,
and %TYPE%::Snit_removetrace to
::snit::RT.RemoveInstanceTrace.
2004-07-17 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Added "delegate typemethod ..." in all its glory,
* snit.test including "delegate typemethod *". Made it
* dictionary.txt Possible to delegate an instance method to a
* roadmap.txt typecomponent. Added tests to ensure that
variable/typevariable and component/typecomponent
names do not collide. Updated a number of
compilation error messages for consistency.
Moved the remaining typemethod definitions from the
template code and replaced them delegations to
the Snit runtime library. Added/modified
relevant tests, and updated the roadmap and
dictionary files.
2004-07-15 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Replaced the old typemethod definition and
cacheLookup code with new pattern-based code, just
like the method definition and lookup. The
cache lookup routine doesn't yet understand
typemethod "*". The next step is to implement
typecomponents and "delegate typemethod".
* dictionary.txt Documented the changes related to the above
change.
2004-07-14 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Replaced %TYPE%::Snit_comptrace with
snit::RT.ComponentTrace.
Replaced %TYPE%::Snit_cacheLookup with
snit::RT.MethodCacheLookup
Replaced %TYPE%::Snit_typeCacheLookup with
snit::RT.TypemethodCacheLookup
* snit.test Added a test to verify that a widget's hull
component cannot be altered once it is set.
* roadmap.txt Documents the internal structure of snit.tcl.
2004-07-11 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Renamed a number of internal commands, for
clarity.
Refactored the standard method bodies
out of the type definition and into the Snit
runtime using delegation.
Defined snit::compile which compiles a
type definition into the Tcl script which
actually defines the type.
* snit.test Added and modified appropriate tests.
* README.txt Added a bullet about snit::compile.
2004-07-05 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Replaced the old method cacheLookup code with new
code based on command patterns. All tests pass;
no test changes were needed. All is now ready to
add the new "delegate method" "using" keyword.
* dictionary.txt
This file documents Snit's private variables.
It's up-to-date, and checked in for the first
time.
* snit.tcl Implemented the new "using <pattern>" clause to
* snit.test "delegate method", and added relevant tests.
* snit.man Documented the new "delegate method" syntax.
* README.txt
2004-07-04 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Re-implemented the option and method delegation
* snit.test syntax so that the order of clauses is no longer
important. Along the way, I made the relevant
error messages more specific.
2004-06-26 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl Added the "component" statement, with two options,
* snit.test -public and -inherit. Added all relevant tests.
* snit.man Updated the man page to describe it.
2004-05-30 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.man Updated per 0.94 changes to date; also I made a
sweep through the whole document and cleaned
things up here and there for readability.
2004-05-29 Will Duquette <will@wjduqette.com>
* snit.tcl Moved Snit_component to snit::Component.
Removed the "type" argument from all of the
"Type.*" procs. Instead, the compilation type
is available as $compile(type). Consequently,
the Type.* procs can now be aliased into the
compiler just once, instead of with every type
definition. (Did that.)
Defined snit::macro.
* snit.test Added tests for snit::macro.

* Released and tagged Tcllib 1.6.1 ========================
*
2004-05-15 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl: Updated version to 0.94
* pkgIndex.tcl:
* snit.tcl: Modified the Snit_dispatcher function to
use a method command cache. Method commands
are assembled in Snit_cacheLookup only if
they aren't found in the cache. The
new Snit_dispatcher was much shorter,
so its code was moved into the object's
instance command, and Snit_dispatcher
was deleted altogether. These changes
speed up method calls considerably.
Snit_tracer was then modified to clear the
method cache when the instance command is
renamed--the cached commands contained the
old instance command name.
* snit.test: Components can be changed dynamically; the
method cache breaks this, because the
previous component's command is still
cached. Added a test that checks whether
the method cache is cleared properly when
a component is changed.
* snit.tcl: Snit_comptrace now clears the method cache
when a component is redefined.
* snit.tcl: Added a type method cache. Type methods
(with the exception of implicit "create") are
now as fast as instance methods. This is a
naive implementation, though--for typemethods,
the cache could be populated at definition
time, since there's no delegation. Of course,
if I added typemethod delegation then what I'm
doing is appropriate.
* snit.tcl: Reorganized some things, in preparation to move
shared code from the type definition to the
snit:: namespace.
* snit.tcl: Made %TYPE%::mymethod an alias to snit::MyMethod.
* snit.tcl: Added %TYPE%::myproc, as an alias to
* snit.test: snit::MyProc. "codename" is now deprecated.
Added tests for myproc.
* snit.tcl: %TYPE%::codename is now an alias to
snit::CodeName.
* snit.tcl: Added %TYPE%::myvar and %TYPE%::mytypevar; these
replace %TYPE%::varname and %TYPE%::typevarname,
which are now deprecated. All are now implemented
as aliases to calls in snit::.
* snit.tcl: %TYPE%::variable is now an alias to
snit::variable.
* snit.tcl: %TYPE%::from is now an alias to snit::From.
2004-02-26 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
* snit.test: Codified the requirement of Tcl 8.4 into
* pkgIndex.tcl: package index and test suite.
2004-02-15 Andreas Kupries <andreas_kupries@users.sourceforge.net>
*
* Released and tagged Tcllib 1.6 ========================
*
2004-02-07 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* README.txt: Added 0.93 information to README.txt.
* snit.tcl: Fixed bug: "$obj info vars" used to leave out "options"
* snit.test: if no options were defined. It's clearer if the
behavior is always the same.
Fixed tcllib bugs item #852945: variable. The
statement "variable ::my::qualified::name" in an
instance method now makes "name" available, just
as the standard "variable" command does.
Fixed bug: in some cases the type command was
created even if there was an error defining the
type. The type command is now cleaned up in these
cases. (Credit Andy Goth)
* snit.tcl: Implemented RFE 844766: need ability to split class
* snit.test: defs across files. Added the snit::typemethod and
* snit.html: snit::method commands; these allow typemethods and
methods to be defined after the class already exists.
2004-02-07 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* All: Updated version to 0.93.
* snit.tcl: The %AUTO% name counter wraps around to 0 when it
reaches 2^31 - 1, to prevent integer overflow
errors.

2003-10-25 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl: Added the "except" clause for "delegate method *" and
* snit.test: "delegate option *". This allows the user to
explicitly exclude certain methods and options.
Added appropriate tests.
* snit.html: Gave the Snit FAQ a bit of an overhaul, and added
* faq.html: information corresponding to the recent code
changes, including a great deal of material on Snit
and the Tk option database. Updated the Snit man
page to be consistent with the recent code changes.
2003-10-23 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* snit.man: Updated from Will's html doc's.
2003-10-23 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.html: Added documentation for the new "hulltype",
"widgetclass", and "install" commands. Updated the
documentation for "installhull" to show the new
"installhull using" syntax. Updated the
documentation for "option" and "delegate option" to
show how to specify the resource and class names for
options. Added a section on the interaction between
Snit and the Tk option database.
2003-10-21 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl: Add the "hulltype" command. This allows the snit::widget
* snit.test: author to choose whether the hull should be a frame
or a toplevel. Tests have been updated as usual.
2003-10-20 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl: The new "install" command can now be used to install
* snit.test: components for snit::types as well. It doesn't add
any value, since there's no option database, but at
least the syntax will be the same.
"install" now initializes the component properly
from the option database when "option *" has been
delegated to it.
Tests have been updated as usual.
2003-10-19 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl: During normal widget creation, the default values
* snit.test: for a widget's local options are overridden by
values from the option database.
Array %TYPE%::Snit_compoptions now lists delegated
option names for each component.
Added a new command, "install", for use in widget
and widgetadaptor constructors. Install creates a
widget, assigning it to a component; it also queries
the option database for any option values that are
delegated to this component.
Modified installhull, adding a new form that queries
the option database as appropriate for options
delegated to the hull widget.
At this point, the only options whose default values
do not come from the option database in the proper
way are those implicitly delegated by "delegate
option *" to a non-hull widget. I need to think
about those.
Of course, new tests have been added for all of this.
The version number in snit.tcl has been updated to 0.84.
2003-10-18 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl: Added the "widgetclass" statement; this allows
* snit.test: snit::widgets (and nothing else) to explicitly set
the widget class name passed to the hull as "-class".
In addition, the hull's -class is set automatically,
to the explicit widgetclass, if any, or to the
widget type name with an initial capital letter.
Next, an object's options now have real resource
and class names, which are reported correctly by
"$obj configure". By default, the resource name
is just the option name minus the hyphen, and
the class name is just the resource name with an
initial capital.
In both the "option" and "delegate option"
statements, the option name may be specified as
a pair or a triple, e.g.,
option {-name name Name}
Thus, the resource name and class name can be
specified explicitly.
In previous versions, the resource name and
class name returned by configure for delegated
options was the resource name and class name
returned by the component. This is no longer
true; configure now returns the resource and
class name defined in the type definition.
2003-10-17 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.html: Added typeconstructor documentation.
* faq.html:
* snit.tcl: Implemented typeconstructors. A typeconstructor's
body is executed as part of the compiled type
definition; it has access to all of the typevariables
and typemethods. Its job is to initialize arrays,
set option database values, and like that.
* snit.test: Added tests for typeconstructors.
2003-10-16 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* README.txt: Updated to reflect snit's presence in tcllib, and
to point to this ChangeLog file.
2003-09-30 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* snit.tcl: A number of changes to the code generation part.
- Usage of [subst]'s was superfluous, removed, simple string
interpolation now.
- Now 'namespace eval type' enclosing the generated code
anymore. Such an eval is now done only at the top of the
generated code to define the namespace, and to
define/initialize the typevariables. All procedure definitions
are now outside of 'namespace eval' and use fully qualified
command names instead.
- Moved the code in [snit::Define] which instantiated the class
using the generated code into it own helper command,
[snit::DefineDo]. Overiding this command allows users of the
snit package perform other actions on the newly defined
class. One example is that of a snit-compiler which goes
through a file containing tcl code and replaces all snit::*
definitions with the generated code.
Motivation for the change: When applying procomp to procedure
definitions inside of a 'namespace eval' they are not
byte-compiled, but kept as encoded literal. This is a direct
consequence of 'namespace eval' not having a compile
function. It also means that introspection, i.e. [info body]
does recover the actual procedure definition. By using procedure
definitions outside of namespace eval, but fully qualified names
this limitation of procomp is avoided. The aforementioned snit
compiler application is another part for this, ensuring that
instead of keeping the whole class definition as one literal for
the snit::* call we actually have tcl code to compile and hide.
* snit.tcl: Updated the version number to 0.83
* pkgIndex.tcl:
* snit.man:
* snitfaq.man:
2003-07-18 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* snit.test: Fixed SF tcllib bug #772535. Instead of using a
* snit.tcl: variable reference in the callback a regular command
is called, with the unchanging 'selfns' as argument.
From there things go through the regular dispatching
mechanism after the actual instance name was obtained.
Updated all affected tests.
Updated dmethod-1.5 also, 'string' delivers a
different error message.
2003-07-16 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* snit.man: Added references to bug trackers, as part of
* snitfaq.man: caveats. Also added note about bwidget/snit
interaction.
* snit.tcl: Integrated latest (small) change to original code base
(was not released yet). Removes bad trial to fix up error stack.
We are now at version 0.82. Added note to developers explaining
the catch in Snit_tracer.
