| ActiveState Releases Tcl Dev Kit 4.0 ActiveState has announced the release of Tcl Dev Kit 4.0, the multi-platform toolkit for creating and deploying professional Tcl applications. TDK provides essential tools for building self-contained, installation-free executables to Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, AIX and HP-UX. The feature set also includes a powerful graphical debugger, profiling and analysis tools for code optimization, a pre-compiler to obfuscate source code and a service manager for converting Tcl programs to Windows services. TDK 4.0 introduces support for Mac OS X and Solaris x86, providing new users with sophisticated tools for bundling Tcl source code and extensions into executables, starkits or starpacks. All users benefit from their preferred interface with a choice of new cross-platform themed UIs or command-line access to build and configuration options. The release also features enhanced support for TEA (Tcl Extension Archive) Package Management, with a complete suite of tools for creating, exporting, managing and using Tcl extensions. TclChecker, a powerful batch mode code analyzer that uncovers errors in scripts before they are run, has been extended, making it easier to find problems in new scripts, scripts from older versions of Tcl/Tk or scripts ported from another operating systems. Additionally, compiler support has been extended to Tcl 8.5, providing obfuscation for Tcl/Tk applications built with the current Tcl release. ActiveState also distributes ActiveTcl, the complete, ready-to-install Tcl distribution for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, AIX and HP-UX, and ActiveTcl Enterprise Edition, a support and software subscription for organizations that rely on Tcl to power mission-critical systems. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
