I am pleased to announce version 7.0 of the multi-column listbox and
tree widget package Tablelist.

What is new in Tablelist 7.0?
-----------------------------

1. Dropped the support for Tk versions earlier than 8.4. This has made
the code simpler and easier to maintain.

2. For the selection type "cell", the F2 key now starts the interactive
editing of the active element, just like Return and KP_Enter (thanks
to Alexandru Dadalau for his proposal).

3. Added explicit support for the themes "black", "breeze",
"breeze-dark", "sun-valley-light", and "sun-valley-dark".

4. Improved the compatibility with Tcl 9 and Tk 8.7/9. For example,
added support for the new <TouchpadScroll> event, introduced in Tk
8.7 and 9.

5. Removed the now redundant distribution file "repair.tcl".

6. Fixed a long-standing bug related to updating the list variable by
the "insertcolumns", "insertcolumnlist", and "deletecolumns"
subcommands (thanks to Alexandru Dadalau for his bug report).

How to get it?
--------------

Tablelist is available for free download from the URL

https://www.nemethi.de

The distribution file is "tablelist7.0.tar.gz" for UNIX and
"tablelist7_0.zip" for Windows. These files contain the same
information, except for the additional carriage return character
preceding the linefeed at the end of each line in the text files for
Windows.

Tablelist is also included in tklib, which has the address

https://core.tcl.tk/tklib

How to install it?
------------------

Install the package as a subdirectory of one of the directories given
by the "auto_path" variable. For example, you can install it as a
directory at the same level as the Tcl and Tk script libraries. The
locations of these library directories are given by the "tcl_library"
and "tk_library" variables, respectively.

To install Tablelist on UNIX, "cd" to the desired directory and unpack
the distribution file "tablelist7.0.tar.gz":

gunzip -c tablelist7.0.tar.gz | tar -xf -

On most UNIX systems this can be replaced with

tar -zxf tablelist7.0.tar.gz

Both commands will create a directory named "tablelist7.0 with the subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts".

On Windows, use WinZip or some other program capable of unpacking the distribution file "tablelist7_0.zip" into the directory
"tablelist7.0", with the subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts".

How to use it?
--------------

The Tablelist distribution provides two packages, called Tablelist and Tablelist_tile. The main difference between the two is that
Tablelist_tile enables the tile-based, theme-specific appearance of
tablelist widgets; this package requires tile 0.6 or higher. It is not possible to use both packages in one and the same application, because
both are implemented in the same "tablelist" namespace and provide
identical commands.

To be able to use the commands and variables implemented in the package Tablelist, your scripts must contain one of the lines

package require tablelist ?version?
package require Tablelist ?version?

Likewise, to be able to use the commands and variables implemented in
the package Tablelist_tile, your scripts must contain one of the lines

package require tablelist_tile ?version?
package require Tablelist_tile ?version?

Since the packages Tablelist and Tablelist_tile are implemented in the "tablelist" namespace, you must either import the procedures you need,
or use qualified names like "tablelist::tablelist".

For a detailed description of the commands and variables provided by
Tablelist and of the examples contained in the "demos" directory, see
the tutorial "tablelist.html" and the reference pages, all located in
the "doc" directory.
