ANNOUNCE: TkDND 2.8

[Georgios Petasis]

I am pleased to announce version 2.8 of the TkDND extension.

What is new in TkDND 2.8?
--------------------------------------------------

1) Fixed a bug in converting Time to a Tcl object (Bug reported by
Nicolas Bats, observed under OS X 10.7).

2) Added support in <<DragInitCmd>> & <<DragEndCmd>>
for %x, %y mouse coordinates (relative to window that is the drag
source).

3) Added the ability to stop a drag on the drag source. The
<<DragInitCmd>> binding must return either "refuse_drop"
as a value (instead of a list), or use
"return -code break"|"return -code continue".

4) Fixed SourceForge bug #30: Toplevel Widget Cannot
Be Drop Target. Bug reported by Tim Tomkinson.

5) Applied two patches from Andrew Murray.

6) Code moved to github: https://github.com/petasis/tkdnd

TkDND 2.8 offers support for both dragging and dropping under all 3
major operating systems (Windows, OS X, Linux).

A detailed change log can be found here:

What is TkDND?
--------------------------------------------------
TkDND is a binary extension for Tk, which adds native drag & drop
capabilities to the Tk toolkit. It can be used with any Tk version equal
or greater to 8.3.3 and currently only the UNIX (X-Windows), Microsoft
Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1) and OS X (Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion)
operating systems are supported (Tk 8.6 is required for OS X).

Great work Georgios,

Csaba has reported on ETCL conference, that you gave great support to integrate DND into Tablelist.

I favor to put this into the tk core.
Would be really valueable.

Thank you,
Harald

I am sorry for that, it seems that Joomla internals change with every
update... :-)

I have uploaded new windows binaries (32 & 64 bits), compiled with
visual studio. The previous ones (compiled with mingw) had unresolved
dependencies (libpthread.dll).
