Another release of eTcl, the universal, install-free Tcl runtime engine, is available for download. Version 1.0.1 updates 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. Binaries are provided for Mac OS X, Win32, Windows Mobile and several Linux architectures including x86, x86_64, mipsel, powerpc, arm and now also arm-eabi, which allows installation as native application on Android platform.

After two years of development and code stabilization, and a long release candidates period, Evolane is pround to announce eTcl 1.0.0, the first official release of its cross-platform Tcl/Tk runtime engine. This release has been made possible thanks to feedbacks and comments from large community of users, all of them contributing in making eTcl a robust, innovative and widely used distribution. From last release candidate, minor bugs have been fixed (a race condition in Win32/WinCE driver of Evodio sound package has been fixed, and GPS access in wce packages has been consolidated). Binaries for Mac OS X, Win32, Windows Mobile and Linux (x86, x86_64, arm, mipsel and powerpc) are all freely available to be put under your Christmas tree. Enjoy!

eTcl kit for Coccinella kit has been updated, based on version 0.96.10. Kit is available for download from eTcl applications.

A new eTcl 1.0-rc31 version is available. This release focuses on bug fixes. Win32 users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to fix an annoying bug in 1.0-rc30 causing Odyce symbol resolver to fail. Also, extensions kits (tcllib, tklib and bwidgets) were missing in Win32 installer. On MacOSX, a bad issue, causing console to be shown even if running a wrapped application in non-interactive mode, has been fixed. Tcl code compacter in wrap applet has been fixed and improved, together with several minor bug fixes and extensions updates (e.g. sqlite 3.6.6.2). Binaries for Mac OS X, Win32, Windows Mobile and Linux (x86, x86_64, arm, mipsel and powerpc) are available for download and installation on all your devices. Enjoy!

Release 0.8 of Pixane, the universal, cross-platform image manipulation library, is available for download. Driver for BMP images has been extended to support more BMP formats (e.g. RLE encoding). A bug in Tcl wrapper was fixed, to prevent possible crash when retrieving font metrics. Anti-aliased line drawing has been improved, and performance in image transformation algorithm has been slightly improved. Pixane 0.8 is available either as part of eTcl 1.0-rc30, or as a standalone extension, compatible with nearly any Tcl binaries from any vendor, for a large set of architectures, like Win32, MacOSX, Windows Mobile, and Linux (x86, x86_64, arm, powerpc, mips, ...).

We are pround to announce immediate availability of eTcl 1.0-rc30. This release is based on Tcl/Tk 8.5.5, together with several updated extensions (sqlite 3.6.6.1, pixane 0.8, tcllib 1.11, ...). Object-oriented programming is now supported with the addition of TclOO 0.6 extension. Windows Mobile specific extension (wce) adds support for GPS Intermediate Driver and power management. A new ::etcl::snapshot command has been added to capture windows content into image. Various minor bugs were fixed. Binaries for Mac OS X, Win32, Linux (x86, arm, mips and powerpc), and Windows Mobile are available for download.

Release 0.7 of Pixane, a image processing library for Tcl, is available for download. Version 0.7 adds support for anti-aliased lines, a faster and more accurate image subsampling algorithm, and several bugs fixes. Binaries are provided for Mac OS X, Win32, Windows Mobile and Linux (arm, arm-eabi, mipsel, powerpc, x86 and now also x86_64/AMD64). While Pixane is also part of eTcl distribution, those standalone binaries are compatible and may be used with nearly any third party Tcl engine.

Another release of eTcl, the universal, install-free Tcl runtime engine, is available for download. Version 1.0-rc29 is based on Tcl/Tk 8.5.3, and up to date extensions (tls 1.6, sqlite 3.5.9, tkhtml3, ...). Pixane adds support for anti-aliased lines. Binaries are provided for Mac OS X, Win32, Windows Mobile and Linux (x86, arm, mipsel, powerpc and now also x86_64).

eTcl 1.0-rc28 has been made available, to fix a couple of bugs in previous release. An invalid exit handler has leaked in 1.0-rc27 build, causing an error message to be displayed on exit on Win32, when Tk toplevel was killed with close button or with Alt-F4 shortcut (using exit command had no problem). This release also fix another small issue in Pixane color alias parsing. All eTcl 1.0-rc27 early adopters, and especially those targetting Win32 architecture, are highly recommended to upgrade.

Another release of eTcl, the universal, install-free Tcl runtime engine, is available for download. Version 1.0-rc27 is based on Tcl/Tk 8.5.2, and up to date extensions (tls 1.6, sqlite 3.5.7, tkhtml3, ...). Code startup has been optimized, using VFS caching and look-ahead. Pixane rotation and sub-scaling accepts a new quality option, to produce accurate thumbnails. Implementation of scene widget has been clean up, and its documentation has been updated. Controling radio devices (bluetooth, phone, wifi) on WinCE has been fixed. Binaries are provided for Mac OS X, Win32, Windows Mobile and Linux (x86, arm, mipsel and powerpc).

BWidget kit packaged inside full version of eTcl 1.0-rc26 is corrupted, due to problem in Tcl parser used to compact code. While 1.0-rc27 will be out soon, you may get fixed kits for bwidget-1.8.0-2, tcllib-1.10-2 and tklib-0.4.1-2 from our download area.

eTcl 1.0-rc26 has been released. This version is based on Tcl/Tk 8.5.1, so it fixes most issues in 8.5.x branch still there in previous release. Other components, like sqlite (3.5.6), tkhtml3 (CVS snapshot 2008-02-29) and tktreectrl (2.2.6 from CVS) have been updated. Full version adds support for tDOM, while still preserving support for TclXML. Both share same implementation of expat library to save memory. Last, default full installation now come with tcllib, tklib and bwidget preinstalled as eTcl kits. Binaries for Mac OS X, Win32, Linux (x86, arm, mips and powerpc), and Windows Mobile are available for download.

After one week of precious feedbacks and bug reports on eTcl 1.0-rc24, we are pleased to offer eTcl 1.0-rc25 binaries for download. This release focuses on fixing bugs and small issues introduced when switching from Tcl/Tk 8.4.x core to new 8.5.0 version (e.g. wrong initialisation of system encoding, one pixel offset when scaling image with Pixane, missing directory in default auto_path, ...). This release also comes comes with tcllib 1.10 pre-installed on all architectures, as an (optional) eTcl kit. Upgrade is recommended, and feedback appreciated. Enjoy!

Initial 1.0-rc24 for win32 binary had a problem causing error or segfault on "package require udp" command. Correct binary was pushed online very quickly to fix this issue. If you have downloaded win32 binary soon after offical announcement, and experiment problem with UDP sockets, please download again. About dialog should report '2007-12-24' as built date.

Soon after Tcl/Tk 8.5 has been released by Tcl core team as the result of several years of hard and great work, we are pround to announce eTcl 1.0-rc24 is now based on 8.5.0 core on all architectures, and heritates its numerous goodies, including significant speedup of new bytecode engine, integrated arbitrary-precision arithmetic, new skinnable widgets, or anti-aliased text support on all platforms. Tcl API for Odyce has been stabilized and allows dynamic compilation of most Tcl/Tk extensions (e.g. incrTcl, Xotcl, ...) on all x86 and ARM architectures in just a few hundreds milliseconds, making it a viable alternative to shared libraries for deployment. Pixane extension exposes more transformations (e.g. arbitrary image rotations) at Tcl level, and its memory footprint has been reduced. You can download binary for your architecture for free, and enjoy!

We are pround to announce eTcl 1.0-rc23 is available for download. This release relies on latest Tcl/Tk 8.4.16 core, and up to date versions of several packages (e.g. sqlite 3.4.2, libpng 1.2.19, tile and tkhtml3 CVS snapshots, ...). Support for XFT/Anti-Aliased font engine has been added, and can be enabled or disabled at runtime. Native implementations of most usual digest/hash methods (md5,sha1,crc16,crc32,...) have been introduced for performance. A new package called Odyce provides an experimental API for dynamic compilation from C code, in a way similar to critcl but without requiring an external compiler and linker to be installed on target machine. Binaries are provided for Mac OS X, Win32, Windows Mobile and Linux x86, arm (soft-float and hard-float) , mipsel and powerpc.

Due to a synchronization problem, some CAB files part of eTcl 1.0-rc22 early distribution were generated with an invalid VersionMax value, and couldn't be installed on Windows Mobile 6 devices, and some Windows Mobile 5 smartphones. Those archives have been updated to fix this incompatibility. Note that cabinet content itself (especially eTcl executable) is stricly similar. Thanks to Michel Salvagniac and Satoshi Imai for reporting this quickly.

We are pround to announce eTcl 1.0-rc22 is available for download. This release fixes many small bugs, but also provides optimized performances on WinCE (e.g. frame rate is 60% higher in tkengine 1.2 for PocketPC). eTcl now embeds vlerq to read tclkits, together with tools to convert tclkits into eTcl kits automatically, either from command line or from console dialog. Several packages has been upgraded (sqlite 3.4.1, libpng 1.2.18, tkhtml, ...). Binaries are provided for Mac OS X, Win32, Windows Mobile and Linux (x86, arm, mipsel and powerpc).

During few hours, debug enabled (unstripped) 1.0-rc21 binaries for Win32 version only have been pushed online. Our repository has been updated to replace them with correct (stripped) versions. Debug executables run just as well as normal ones, but of course waste disk space. Replacing them with new binaries is recommended.

A new eTcl 1.0-rc21 version is available. This release focuses on bug fixes. Win32 and WinCE users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to fix an annoying bug in 1.0-rc20 causing some solid lines to be rendered as dashed lines. This release embeds an updated, and more stable Tkhtml3 snapshot. Sqlite has been upgraded to 3.4.0, plus new @ syntax for BLOBs in Tcl API. An option has been added to browse and launch eTcl kits directly from console. Win98/WinME support has been officially re-enabled. Etcl 1.0-rc21 binaries for Mac OS X, Win32, Windows Mobile and Linux (x86, arm, mipsel and powerpc) are available for download and installation on all your devices. Enjoy!
