  TIX 4.0 B7

    Released on Nov 11, 1995

Subject: [Announce] Tix version 4.0b7 is available

   I am pleased to announce the availability of Tix version 4.0b7.

  REQUIREMENT

   TK 4.0 + TCL 7.4 or later. Tix 4.0b7 does not work with previous
   versions of TK and TCL. Versions of Tix that work with previous
   versions of TK and TCL can be found in the FTP directories listed
   below.

  GETTING THE TIX PACKAGE

   You can obtain Tix from my ftp site:
        ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/ioi/Tix4.0b7.tar.gz

   I have also uploaded the file to the official Tcl site, so in a few
   days it will also be available at:
        ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/extensions/Tix4.0b7.tar.gz
        ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/extensions/Tix4.0b7.README

  WHAT'S NEW

   This is essentially a maintainence release and most of the bugs that
   have been reported since June are now fixed.
    1. Major overhaul on the Balloon widget. Now it should go away when
       you move the mouse cursor out of a client widget or when you press
       the mouse button inside a client widget.

    2. OptionMenu supports deletion of menu entries.

    3. Major improvement of the installation process. Now there is a
       graphical program (src/setup) to use as a front-end to the GNU
       configure script. Also, the configure script is more intelligent
       in locating the TK, TCL and XPM library and header files.
       Therefore, this version of Tix should be less hassle to install
       than previous versions.

    4. Misbehaviors of the FontSet mechanism on monochrome displays have
       been fixed.

    5. Miscellaneous bugs fixed for FileSelectBox, ExFileSelectBox,
       ComboBox, Control, etc. Please refer to the file docs/Changes.html
       in the distribution for more details of the bug fixes.
