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!

Etcl 1.0-rc20 is available for download. It fixes an annoying bug introduced in Windows Mobile (WinCE) previous release, causing an error message to popup on exit. This new release adds support for extended dash patterns and offsets for lines and arcs on Win32 and WinCE platforms, whereas Tk normally supports them only on X11. Upgrading is recommended.

Etcl 1.0-rc19 binaries for Mac OS X, Win32, Windows Mobile and Linux (x86, arm, mipsel and now powerpc) are available for download. This release is based on Tcl/Tk 8.4.15. It fixes an annoying bug introduced in 1.0-rc18 on Win32/WinCE platforms, which broke file association from console. Backport of the new clock command (from 8.5) has been added to full versions. Other changes, packages upgrades and bug fixes are described into Changelog.

Version 1.0-rc18 of eTcl introduced a small bug, which prevents user from activating file association from console menu. This applies to both Win32 and Windows mobile users. 1.0-rc19, which will be available very soon for download, fixes this issue. In the meantime, users not upgrading from previous version may download version 1.0-rc17 to activate requested file association, then eventually upgrade to rc18 once associations are active. Sorry for annoyance.

Etcl 1.0-rc18 fixes several bugs related to image handling and saving, both from Pixane and Tk photos. Many image transformation methods have been added. Binaries for the Linux-mipsel platform are also available, and support for Vista and Windows Mobile 6 has been improved. Under WinCE, the SQLite locking mechanism has been improved to prevent an occasional crash when opening several databases concurrently. Several third party components (TkHtml, Tile, SQLite, FreeType, etc.) have also been upgraded to the latest versions, which come with their own bugfixes.

Etcl 1.0-rc17 binaries for Mac OS X, Win32, Linux x86, Linux arm, and Windows Mobile are available for download. This release includes upgraded versions of several packages (tkhtml3, sqlite, tktreectrl, ...). It also fixes a problem with file locking in sqlite, which could cause segfault on WinCE platform when trying to open several sqlite databases. Other changes, packages upgrades and bug fixes are described into Changelog.

Etcl 1.0-rc15 binaries for Mac OS X, Win32, Linux x86, Linux arm, and Windows Mobile are available for download. This release fixes SIP handling on non-latin (e.g. cyrillic and japanese) Windows Mobile devices. Support for switching application in kiosk (fullscreen) mode, using wce extension, has also been fixed. System encoding is now initialized correctly on Linux systems with UTF-8 locale. Other changes, packages upgrades and bug fixes are described into Changelog.

Etcl 1.0-rc14 binaries for Mac OS X, Win32, Linux x86, Linux arm, and Windows Mobile are available for download. This release is powered by Tcl/Tk 8.4.14, includes latest CVS snapshot of the very impressive TkHTML3 widget, and fixes a seek problem in ZIP VFS. Other changes, packages upgrades and bug fixes are described into Changelog.
