Removed implied future availability of an info/texi version of the other
manuals (the word "yet").
Guido, you might want to check this file to see if any other changes are
required.
the info generation phases. Most of the errors had occurred in the makeinfo
step.
Commented out the warning at the top; this should still really be removed
before 1.5, but that's not my call. It generated problems for the info
conversion as well.
input. When an EOF is read, break out of the loop instead of (by
default) writing an empty line (which doesn't do much good). Don't
close self when falling through the loop.
* The invoke methods of the three Tkinter widgets Button,
Checkbutton and Radiobutton should return the value returned by
the callback, (like the Menu widget does):
def invoke(self):
return self.tk.call(self._w, 'invoke')
* The select_from method of the Canvas widget should use 'from', not
'set':
def select_from(self, tagOrId, index):
self.tk.call(self._w, 'select', 'from', tagOrId, index)
Currently, if you use select_from, you get the error message:
'TclError: bad select option "set": must be adjust, clear, from, item, or to'
* The 'entrycget' and 'type' methods of the Tk menu widget are
missing from Tkinter.
* There is a bug in grid_columnconfigure and grid_rowconfigure. For
example, this should return the current value of the 'minsize'
option for column 0:
f.grid_columnconfigure(0, 'minsize')
Instead it returns the same as:
f.grid_columnconfigure(0)
I suggest that the hint given in the comment in the
Tkinter.Misc.configure method should be followed - "ought to
generalize this so tag_config etc. can use it". Repeating the
same configure code several times in Tkinter is inviting errors.
[I did not follow this advice --G]
* The grid_slaves method should handle options. Currently, to pass
options to the grid_slaves method, you have to do something like:
grid_slaves('-row', 1)
Lots of support for new macros defined in myformat.sty; including the new
indexing macros, seealso environment & friends, and the byte code instruction
support.
and ask the user for permission to set buffer-local variables depending on
the user's configuration. Not really needed since this doesn't get edited
often.
Bumped the version number to 1.5; date still needs to be set.
retrieving files from the same host and directory, you had to close
the previous instance before opening a new one; and retrieving a
non-existent file would return an empty file. (The latter fix relies
on maybe an undocumented property of NLST -- NLST of a file returns
just that file, while NLST of a non-existent file returns nothing. A
side effect, unfortunately, seems to be that now ftp-retrieving an
*empty* directory may fail. Ah well.)
