I am pleased to announce version 7.6 of the multi-column listbox and
tree widget package Tablelist.

What is new in Tablelist 7.6?
-----------------------------

1. Added the "-button2window" configuration option, which makes it
possible to redirect the mouse button 2 events of the tablelist's
body to the containing toplevel window, and is used by the
implementation of scanning support for scrollutil::scrollableframe
widgets.

2. The implementation of the interactive cell editing with the aid of a
(ttk::)menubutton now takes into acount that in Tk 9 the menu index
"none" was replaced with the empty string.

3. Eliminated a few artifacts related to the "showtargetmark" subcommand
when using TkDND on Windows or macOS Aqua (thanks to Nicolas Bats for
his bug report).

4. Made sure that the "autoscrolltarget" subcommand works as expected
(again, thanks to Nicolas Bats for reporting that on Windows and
macOS Aqua this was not always the case).

5. Made sure that in multi-line cell texts the substring "%W" won't be
substituted by the path name of the tablelist's body (thanks to
Harald Oehlmann for his bug report).

6. Made the column deletion by orders of magnitude faster (thanks to
Alexandru Dadalau for his bug report).

7. Minor improvements in the demo scripts related to interactive cell
editing.

8. Improved the documentation by extending the CSS stylesheet used in
the HTML files.

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

Tablelist is available for free download from the URL

https://www.nemethi.de

The distribution file is "tablelist7.6.tar.gz" for UNIX and
"tablelist7_6.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
subdirectory of the "lib" directory within your Tcl/Tk installation.

To install Tablelist on UNIX, "cd" to the desired directory and unpack
the distribution file "tablelist7.6.tar.gz":

gunzip -c tablelist7.6.tar.gz | tar -xf -

On most UNIX systems this can be replaced with

tar -zxf tablelist7.6.tar.gz

Both commands will create a directory named "tablelist7.6 with the subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts".

On Windows, use WinZip or some other program capable of unpacking the distribution file "tablelist7_6.zip" into the directory "tablelist7.6",
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 access the commands and variables of the Tablelist
package, your scripts must contain one of the lines

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

Likewise, to be able to access the commands and variables of the
Tablelist_tile package, 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.
