As 3rd result of the European User meeting in Strasbourg, I am pleased
to announce BWidget 1.9.2.
This is a release due to two reasons:
- there are some bug fixes and enhancements since 1.9.0
- ActiveTCL contained a package BWidget 1.9.1 which was a development
snapshot from the Tile-enabled version.
Anybody having compatibility issues with this version is encouraged
to use BWidget 1.9.2
The Tile-enabled version will not be released as 1.9.x.
Thanks to all reporters, contributers and testers.
Sorry for the eventual troubble with BWidget 1.9.1 (and of cause with
this release if you might have any).
Attached are the full release notes.
Regards,
Harald

Maintenance release containing some bugfixes and minor enhancements.
Highlight:
- ListBox: Drag and Drop sample handles multiple items
Release 1.9.1 was included in ActiveTCL in may 2010.
This release was a snapshop of the outcomming tile-enhanced version
which
showed incompatibilities in default option handling.
This 1.9.2 release does not include the Tile enhancements but only bug
fixes
arised after release 1.9.0.
Remark that this is a snapshot of the bugfix release branch which
resides
in tcllib cvs under the tag "bwidget".
The trunc contains the tile-enabled version.
Dedication:
This release is dedicated to Luc Moulinier who organized the European
TCL
user meeting where this release was coordinated.

WHAT IS BWIDGET ?
The BWidget Toolkit is a high-level Widget Set for Tcl/Tk built using
native Tcl/Tk 8.x namespaces.
The BWidgets have a professional look&feel as in other well known
Toolkits (Tix or Incr Widgets), but the concept is radically different
because everything is pure Tcl/Tk. No platform dependencies, and no
compiling required. The code is 100% Pure Tcl/Tk.
The BWidget library was originally developed by UNIFIX Online, and
released under both the GNU Public License and the Tcl license.
BWidget is now maintained as a community project, hosted by
Sourceforge. Scores of fixes and enhancements have been added by
community developers. See the ChangeLog file for details.
