  TIX 4.0 B8

    Released on Nov 16, 1995

Subject: [Announce] Tix version 4.0b8 is available

   I am pleased to announce the availability of Tix version 4.0b8.

  REQUIREMENT

   TK 4.0 + TCL 7.4, with or without patches It doesn't work with Tk
   4.1a* and Tcl 7.5a* yet. Tix 4.0b8 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/Tix4.0b8.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/Tix4.0b8.tar.gz
        ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/extensions/Tix4.0b8.README

  WHAT'S NEW

   This is essentially a maintainence release with the configuration
   process much improved. Most major bugs have been fixed. If all goes
   well, this will be the last beta release of Tix 4.0 and the final
   release will be ready within a week.
    1. The configure script has been overhauled. It has been moved to the
       toplevel directory and it will generate Makefiles in all
       subdirectories.
    2. The setup program (a GUI front end to configure) allows you to set
       most options graphically. setup is considered as a replacement for
       configure in all future versions of Tix. Please use setup instead
       of using configure directly.
    3. Miscellaneous bugs fixed. Please refer to the file
       docs/Changes.html in the distribution for more details of the bug
       fixes.
