Dear XOTcl community,
today, we presented the Next Scripting Framework (NSF) at the 8th Annual
Tcl/Tk Conference at Manassas, Virginia. We are proud to announce also
here the availability of nsf 2.0b2, available from the web-site below,
that went as well public today. The release plan is to gather in the
first round feedback from the inner community and to polish the website
and documentation in the meantime. The full public release will come out
without the beta-state and will be annouced to the wider public.
The distribution of the next scripting framework contains essentially
- NSF, the low-level framework
- XOTcl 2.0
- NX (descendant of XOTcl)
While XOTcl 2.0 is primarily highly compatible with XOTcl 1.6, NX
provides more support for programming the larger, such as stronger
encapsulation, method protection, modular feature composition, etc. For
more details, consult the slides referenced below. The website contains
a more detailed NX migration guide comparing XOTcl idioms with NX
idoms, or an NX tutorial.
The Next Scripting Framework requires Tcl 8.5 or newer and is released
under an MIT license. For users bound for the time being to Tcl 8.4 we
will continue to release bug fixes for the XOTcl 1.6 series.
