ANN: eTcl 1.0.1 (Tcl/Tk 8.5.6)
Eric Hassold
I'm pleased to announce immediate availability of eTcl 1.0.1 for
Windows, Windows Mobile (2003, 2003SE, 5.x and 6.x) pocketPC and
smartphones, Mac OS X (Aqua) as universal binary (x86 and PPC), and
several Linux architectures, including x86, x86_64, mipsel, powerpc, arm
(soft-float or hard-float) and now also arm-eabi, which allows
installation as native application on Android platform.
WHERE TO GET
============
It is available from:
http://www.evolane.com/software/etcl/index.html
http://www.evolane.com/
WHAT'S NEW
==========
This release mainly focuses on upgrading Tcl/Tk core to 8.5.6, and
sqlite to 3.6.7. An argument parsing issue, which could cause version
1.0.0 to fail launching eTcl kits (.etk files) from command line or
double-click, has been fixed. This release also adds officially support
for arm-linux (EABI) architecture, also in Odyce compiler.
WHAT IS IT
==========
eTcl is a "batteries-included", thread enabled Tcl/Tk runtime, available
as a single standalone executable for Linux (x86, x86_64, ARM, Mips and
PowerPC), Win32 (Win98 to Vista), Windows Mobile (2003 or better) and
MacOSX (universal binary). On all architectures, executable has no
external dependencies, and requires no installation except copying
executable wherever you want.
Distributions for all architecture include a common set of core components:
- Tcl/Tk 8.5.6 (thread enabled)

writing several popular image formats (PNG, JPEG), support for TrueType
fonts, several truetype builtin fonts (serif, sansserif and monotype)

- Zlib: native deflate/inflate support
