I am pleased to announce version 7.4 of the multi-column listbox and
tree widget package Tablelist.

What is new in Tablelist 7.4?
-----------------------------

1. Made sure that the Migration Tool for Tcl 9 by Ashok Nadkarni won't
output any warnings or notes (thanks to Andreas Kupries for his
valuable input).

2. Optimization: The "-text" option at row and cell levels, as well as
the "-image" cell configuration option no longer perform a text/image
update if the new option value equals the old one.

3. Made the drop target indicator and the gaps displayed by the "move"
and "movecolumn" subcommands scaling-aware.

4. Made the default value of the "-targetcolor" option in Tablelist_tile
theme-specific.

5. Improvements in the themepatch package, especially regarding the
"default" theme.

6. The demo scripts "dirViewer.tcl" and "dirViewer_tile.tcl" now also
demonstrate how the virtual event <<TablelistYViewChanged>> can be
used to embed images into the items contained in the current view.

7. Eliminated a potential error message caused by the handling of
<TouchpadScroll> events (thanks to Paul Obermeier for his bug
report).

8. Several further improvements and minor bug fixes.

How to get it?
--------------

Tablelist is available for free download from the URL

https://www.nemethi.de

The distribution file is "tablelist7.4.tar.gz" for UNIX and
"tablelist7_4.zip" for Windows. These files contain the same
information, except for the additional carriage return character
preceding the linefeed at the end of each line in the text files for
Windows.

Tablelist is also included in tklib, which has the address

https://core.tcl.tk/tklib

How to install it?
------------------

Install the package as a subdirectory of one of the directories given
by the "auto_path" variable. For example, you can install it as a
directory at the same level as the Tcl and Tk script libraries. The
locations of these library directories are given by the "tcl_library"
and "tk_library" variables, respectively.

To install Tablelist on UNIX, "cd" to the desired directory and unpack
the distribution file "tablelist7.4.tar.gz":

gunzip -c tablelist7.4.tar.gz | tar -xf -

On most UNIX systems this can be replaced with

tar -zxf tablelist7.4.tar.gz

Both commands will create a directory named "tablelist7.4 with the subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts".

On Windows, use WinZip or some other program capable of unpacking the distribution file "tablelist7_4.zip" into the directory "tablelist7.4",
with the subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts".

How to use it?
--------------

The Tablelist distribution provides two packages, called Tablelist and Tablelist_tile. The main difference between the two is that
Tablelist_tile enables the tile-based, theme-specific appearance of
tablelist widgets; this package requires tile 0.6 or higher. It is not possible to use both packages in one and the same application, because
both are implemented in the same "tablelist" namespace and provide
identical commands.

To be able to use the commands and variables implemented in the package Tablelist, your scripts must contain one of the lines

package require tablelist ?version?
package require Tablelist ?version?

Likewise, to be able to use the commands and variables implemented in
the package Tablelist_tile, your scripts must contain one of the lines

package require tablelist_tile ?version?
package require Tablelist_tile ?version?

Since the packages Tablelist and Tablelist_tile are implemented in the "tablelist" namespace, you must either import the procedures you need,
or use qualified names like "tablelist::tablelist".

For a detailed description of the commands and variables provided by
Tablelist and of the examples contained in the "demos" directory, see
the tutorial "tablelist.html" and the reference pages, all located in
the "doc" directory.
