* README.txt: Added 0.93 information to README.txt.
* snit.tcl: Fixed bug: "$obj info vars" used to leave out "options"
* snit.test: if no options were defined. It's clearer if the
behavior is always the same.
Fixed tcllib bugs item #852945: variable. The
statement "variable ::my::qualified::name" in an
instance method now makes "name" available, just
as the standard "variable" command does.
Fixed bug: in some cases the type command was
created even if there was an error defining the
type. The type command is now cleaned up in these
cases. (Credit Andy Goth)
* snit.tcl: Implemented RFE 844766: need ability to split class
* snit.test: defs across files. Added the snit::typemethod and
* snit.html: snit::method commands; these allow typemethods and
methods to be defined after the class already exists.
2004-02-07 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* All: Updated version to 0.93.
* snit.tcl: The %AUTO% name counter wraps around to 0 when it
reaches 2^31 - 1, to prevent integer overflow
errors.
* snit.html: Minor corrections and updates.

2003-10-25 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl: Added the "except" clause for "delegate method *" and
* snit.test: "delegate option *". This allows the user to
explicitly exclude certain methods and options.
Added appropriate tests.
* snit.html: Gave the Snit FAQ a bit of an overhaul, and added
* faq.html: information corresponding to the recent code
changes, including a great deal of material on Snit
and the Tk option database. Updated the Snit man
page to be consistent with the recent code changes.
2003-10-23 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* snit.man: Updated from Will's html doc's.
2003-10-23 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.html: Added documentation for the new "hulltype",
"widgetclass", and "install" commands. Updated the
documentation for "installhull" to show the new
"installhull using" syntax. Updated the
documentation for "option" and "delegate option" to
show how to specify the resource and class names for
options. Added a section on the interaction between
Snit and the Tk option database.
2003-10-21 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl: Add the "hulltype" command. This allows the snit::widget
* snit.test: author to choose whether the hull should be a frame
or a toplevel. Tests have been updated as usual.
2003-10-20 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl: The new "install" command can now be used to install
* snit.test: components for snit::types as well. It doesn't add
any value, since there's no option database, but at
least the syntax will be the same.
"install" now initializes the component properly
from the option database when "option *" has been
delegated to it.
Tests have been updated as usual.
2003-10-19 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl: During normal widget creation, the default values
* snit.test: for a widget's local options are overridden by
values from the option database.
Array %TYPE%::Snit_compoptions now lists delegated
option names for each component.
Added a new command, "install", for use in widget
and widgetadaptor constructors. Install creates a
widget, assigning it to a component; it also queries
the option database for any option values that are
delegated to this component.
Modified installhull, adding a new form that queries
the option database as appropriate for options
delegated to the hull widget.
At this point, the only options whose default values
do not come from the option database in the proper
way are those implicitly delegated by "delegate
option *" to a non-hull widget. I need to think
about those.
Of course, new tests have been added for all of this.
The version number in snit.tcl has been updated to 0.84.
2003-10-18 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.tcl: Added the "widgetclass" statement; this allows
* snit.test: snit::widgets (and nothing else) to explicitly set
the widget class name passed to the hull as "-class".
In addition, the hull's -class is set automatically,
to the explicit widgetclass, if any, or to the
widget type name with an initial capital letter.
Next, an object's options now have real resource
and class names, which are reported correctly by
"$obj configure". By default, the resource name
is just the option name minus the hyphen, and
the class name is just the resource name with an
initial capital.
In both the "option" and "delegate option"
statements, the option name may be specified as
a pair or a triple, e.g.,
option {-name name Name}
Thus, the resource name and class name can be
specified explicitly.
In previous versions, the resource name and
class name returned by configure for delegated
options was the resource name and class name
returned by the component. This is no longer
true; configure now returns the resource and
class name defined in the type definition.
2003-10-17 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* snit.html: Added typeconstructor documentation.
* faq.html:
* snit.tcl: Implemented typeconstructors. A typeconstructor's
body is executed as part of the compiled type
definition; it has access to all of the typevariables
and typemethods. Its job is to initialize arrays,
set option database values, and like that.
* snit.test: Added tests for typeconstructors.
2003-10-16 Will Duquette <will@wjduquette.com>
* README.txt: Updated to reflect snit's presence in tcllib, and
to point to this ChangeLog file.
2003-09-30 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* snit.tcl: A number of changes to the code generation part.
- Usage of [subst]'s was superfluous, removed, simple string
interpolation now.
- Now 'namespace eval type' enclosing the generated code
anymore. Such an eval is now done only at the top of the
generated code to define the namespace, and to
define/initialize the typevariables. All procedure definitions
are now outside of 'namespace eval' and use fully qualified
command names instead.
- Moved the code in [snit::Define] which instantiated the class
using the generated code into it own helper command,
[snit::DefineDo]. Overiding this command allows users of the
snit package perform other actions on the newly defined
class. One example is that of a snit-compiler which goes
through a file containing tcl code and replaces all snit::*
definitions with the generated code.
Motivation for the change: When applying procomp to procedure
definitions inside of a 'namespace eval' they are not
byte-compiled, but kept as encoded literal. This is a direct
consequence of 'namespace eval' not having a compile
function. It also means that introspection, i.e. [info body]
does recover the actual procedure definition. By using procedure
definitions outside of namespace eval, but fully qualified names
this limitation of procomp is avoided. The aforementioned snit
compiler application is another part for this, ensuring that
instead of keeping the whole class definition as one literal for
the snit::* call we actually have tcl code to compile and hide.
* snit.tcl: Updated the version number to 0.83

* snitfaq.man:
2003-07-18 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* snit.test: Fixed SF tcllib bug #772535. Instead of using a
* snit.tcl: variable reference in the callback a regular command
is called, with the unchanging 'selfns' as argument.
From there things go through the regular dispatching
mechanism after the actual instance name was obtained.
Updated all affected tests.
Updated dmethod-1.5 also, 'string' delivers a
different error message.
2003-07-16 Andreas Kupries <andreask@activestate.com>
* snit.man: Added references to bug trackers, as part of
* snitfaq.man: caveats. Also added note about bwidget/snit
interaction.
* snit.tcl: Integrated latest (small) change to original code base
(was not released yet). Removes bad trial to fix up error stack.
We are now at version 0.82. Added note to developers explaining
the catch in Snit_tracer.
