Tk::804delta - what is new for perl/Tk 804 DESCRIPTION
This document describes differences between the Tk800 series and the Tk804 series. Incompatible Changes In Tk804.028, there are some additional incompatible changes: Return values of some Tk::Wm methods (e.g. aspect, wmGrid, iconposition, resizable ...) were changed from returning tclish lists (e.g. "1 2 3 4") to perlish lists (1,2,3,4). Tk::Wm::wmTracing needs argument for setting on/off, without argument just return the current value. All Tk804 releases have the following incompatible changes: Tk804 will only work with perl 5.8.0 and above. For older perl versions look for Tk800.025. curselection of Tk::Listbox now returns an array reference in scalar context. This means you have to write my(@selected) = $listbox->curselection or my(@selected) = @{ $listbox->curselection } now. The fontActual method now returns the pixel value instead of the point value for -size. Pixel values are expressed as negative numbers. Some enhancements from the "dash" patches are lost for now (i.e. -tile, -troughtile ...). The -state option is not available anymore for Tk::Text tags. Use -elide instead. Enhancements Tk804 is Unicode-aware. It is possible to build Tk with Xft support on X11. This is strongly recommened if you are planning to make use of Unicode rendering capabilities of Tk. It also gives anti-aliased fonts for regular text (if you have TrueType or Type1 fonts and they are in your fontconfig config file). The new method chooseDirectory is available as a standard directory selector. Tk::PNG and Tk::JPEG are bundled now with the perl/Tk distribution, providing support for the image formats png and jpeg. Improvements to Tk::Listbox: new option -activestyle, new methods itemconfigure and itemcget, new virtual event <<ListboxSelect>>. More tests. New Widgets Tk::Labelframe An alternative to Tk::LabFrame. Tk::Panedwindow An alternative to Tk::Adjuster. Tk::Spinbox An alternative to the CPAN module Tk::NumEntry. Selected Bug Fixes Changed Internals Platform Specific Problems Future Directions Reporting Bugs If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.tk newsgroup. If you believe you have an unreported bug, please send a mail to <ptk@lists.stanford.edu> and/or <nick@ing-simmons.net>. Be sure to trim your bug down to a tiny but sufficient test case. SEE ALSO

perldelta - what is new for perl v5.16.2 DESCRIPTION
This document describes differences between the 5.16.1 release and the 5.16.2 release. If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.16.0, first read perl5161delta, which describes differences between 5.16.0 and 5.16.1. Incompatible Changes There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.16.0 If any exist, they are bugs, and we request that you submit a report. See "Reporting Bugs" below. Modules and Pragmata Updated Modules and Pragmata o Module::CoreList has been upgraded from version 2.70 to version 2.76. Configuration and Compilation o configuration should no longer be confused by ls colorization Platform Support Platform-Specific Notes AIX Configure now always adds -qlanglvl=extc99 to the CC flags on AIX when using xlC. This will make it easier to compile a number of XS- based modules that assume C99 [perl #113778]. Selected Bug Fixes o fix /h/ equivalence with /[h]/ see [perl #114220] Known Problems There are no new known problems. Acknowledgements Perl 5.16.2 represents approximately 2 months of development since Perl 5.16.1 and contains approximately 740 lines of changes across 20 files from 9 authors. Perl continues to flourish into its third decade thanks to a vibrant community of users and developers. The following people are known to have contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.16.2: Andy Dougherty, Craig A. Berry, Darin McBride, Dominic Hargreaves, Karen Etheridge, Karl Williamson, Peter Martini, Ricardo Signes, Tony Cook. The list above is almost certainly incomplete as it is automatically generated from version control history. In particular, it does not include the names of the (very much appreciated) contributors who reported issues to the Perl bug tracker. For a more complete list of all of Perl's historical contributors, please see the AUTHORS file in the Perl source distribution. Reporting Bugs If you find what you think is a bug, you might check the articles recently posted to the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup and the perl bug database at http://rt.perl.org/perlbug/ . There may also be information at http://www.perl.org/ , the Perl Home Page. If you believe you have an unreported bug, please run the perlbug program included with your release. Be sure to trim your bug down to a tiny but sufficient test case. Your bug report, along with the output of "perl -V", will be sent off to perlbug@perl.org to be analysed by the Perl porting team. If the bug you are reporting has security implications, which make it inappropriate to send to a publicly archived mailing list, then please send it to perl5-security-report@perl.org. This points to a closed subscription unarchived mailing list, which includes all the core committers, who will be able to help assess the impact of issues, figure out a resolution, and help co-ordinate the release of patches to mitigate or fix the problem across all platforms on which Perl is supported. Please only use this address for security issues in the Perl core, not for modules independently distributed on CPAN. SEE ALSO
