             VLT-SW-OCT99 - RELEASE NOTES FOR CCS/Panel Editor
             =================================================



MAJOR CHANGES:

   
   TCL 8.0 PORTING : 

   - For a few commands compared to the previous version of Tcl/Tk and 
     [incr Tcl], you may now find (or not) leading "::". 
     Someof this is reported by "compat".    

   - Operations on lists, such as lindex and lreplace, are very sensitive on 
     the content of the list.
     If the argument of the list operation contains "{" and quotes
     there might be some problems, depending how the argument has been built.
     In this case, for example, can be difficult to extract pieces of the list
     by using the "lindex" ... the solution is to use ctoken instead.
     Be careful that ctoken "destroys" the content of its argument, therefore 
     very often one needs to copy the argument to a tmp variable.

BUG FIXING
   
 
BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES :
   
   - "info class" and "winfo class do not return the same value.
     EXAMPLE : 
     "info clas" return  "::myClass", while "winfo class" returns "myClass"

   - The -mapped option for ::blt::barchart has been replaced with -hide
    (If you use the uifBarChart widget, this will be transparent)
