    What is new in Tablelist 7.4.1?
    <snip>

    Hi Csaba,

    Many thanks for your great work with Tablelist, Wcb, Mentry, Scrollutil
    and much else.

    May I ask for one tiny, near-trivial change?

    Please will you change the subject of these announcements to specify the
    name and version of the package before the description? (So, for
    instance, "ANNOUNCE: Tabelist version 7.4.1 Multi-column listbox and
    tree widget package".)

    This would make it easier for people, like me, whose newsreader elides
    the title. At present, I need to open the message or scroll the
    newsreader index to see how many versions behind I am, and therefore how
    hard to think about updating. You're right, I am VERY lazy :-).

    Thanks again

    Alan


    I haven't been aware of this newsreader issue (I am using Thunderbird).
    But no problem, I will follow your suggestion in future announcements.

    What is new in Tablelist 7.5?
    -----------------------------

    1. Support for interactive cell editing with the aid of the new
        toggleswitch widget.

    2. Improvements related to the use of various system colors on aqua and
        win32.

    3. The scaleutil package now also scales the "-sashthickness" and
        "-gripsize" options of the "Sash" style.

    4. New demo script "tileWidgets2.tcl", in which toggleswitch rather than >>>     ttk::checkbutton widgets are used for the editing of boolean values. >>>
    5. Made the retrieval of the row index corresponding to a given viewable >>>     row offset more robust (thanks to Alexandru Dadalau for his bug
        report).

    6. Fixed a bug related to the "-allowduplicates" column configuration
        option and the "-forceeditendcommand" global option.

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

    Tablelist is available for free download from the URL

         https://www.nemethi.de

    The distribution file is "tablelist7.5.tar.gz" for UNIX and
    "tablelist7_5.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
    subdirectory of the "lib" directory within your Tcl/Tk installation.

    To install Tablelist on UNIX, "cd" to the desired directory and unpack
    the distribution file "tablelist7.5.tar.gz":

         gunzip -c tablelist7.5.tar.gz | tar -xf -

    On most UNIX systems this can be replaced with

         tar -zxf tablelist7.5.tar.gz

    Both commands will create a directory named "tablelist7.5 with the
    subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts".

    On Windows, use WinZip or some other program capable of unpacking the
    distribution file "tablelist7_5.zip" into the directory "tablelist7.5",
    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 access the commands and variables of the Tablelist
    package, your scripts must contain one of the lines

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

    Likewise, to be able to access the commands and variables of the
    Tablelist_tile package, 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.

    Hi Csaba,

    A couple of little peeves...

    I downloaded Tablelist7.5 (I'm a long-term user of Tablelist and I
    think it's great; many, many thanks.) I was interested to see the new
    toggleswitch widget so I tried to run the tileWidgest2.tcl demo
    script. This fails because it can't [package require tsw].

    I'm not sure that I'm so interested to see the new widget that I want
    to go ahead with downloading it, so I thought I'd look at the
    documentation. The tablelist documentation has a new entry
    "Interactive Tablelist Cell Editting Using the Tsw Package" that links
    to https://www.nemethi.de/tablelist/tablelistTsw.html, but when I
    click on it, I get a page inviting me to accept cookies and if I say
    I'm happy with the cookie settings I have, I just get a blank page. I
    don't get either the prompt or the blank page if I try to follow any
    of the other "Interactive Tablelist Cell Editting..." links.

    These are just little peeves; I think Tablelist is a great package and
    I can't imagine life without it.

    I've just fired up another browser and accepted cookies - https:// www.nemethi.de/tablelist/tablelistTsw.html does not look right *AT ALL*.

    Right now I am in a hurry, but please try it again, it should work now.
    I will come back to your posting about 1.5 hours later.

    I am now back home again. The problem was that I had forgotten to
    upload the file tablelistTsw.html. I apologize for any annoyance caused
    by this! :-(

    What is definitely not my fault, is that your browsers wanted you to
    accept some cookies. My firefox browser simply displayed an empty page.
    Now it can access and display the file tablelistTsw.html as expected.
