I am pleased to announce version 6.19 of the multi-column listbox and
tree widget package Tablelist.

What is new in Tablelist 6.19?
------------------------------

1. The "get", "getcells", "getformatted", "getformattedcells",
"getfullkeys", and "getkeys" subcommands now accept an optional
argument with the possible values "-all", "-nonhidden", and
"-viewable", just like the "curcellselection" and "curselection"
subcommands (thanks to Alexandru Dadalau for his proposal).

2. If the tablelist widget has no columns then the "deletecolumns"
subcommand now returns immediately without any further action, like
checking the validity of the column indices (thanks to Paul Obermeier
for his proposal).

3. Made sure that the workaround for the problem that in Tk 8.6.11 and
later on Mac OS X/11+ the idle callbacks are often fired at
unexpected times won't lead to invocations of callbacks for already
destroyed tablelist widgets (thanks to Paul Obermeier for his bug
report).

4. Fixed a bug related to making a hidden column visible again, which
caused unexpected behavior when moving a column interactively (thanks
to Ulrich Seidl for his bug report).

5. Made the detection of the desktop environment when calculating the
scaling percentage corresponding to the display's DPI scaling level
on X11 more reliable (thanks to Florian Pigorsch 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 "tablelist6.19.tar.gz" for UNIX and "tablelist6_19.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 "tablelist6.19.tar.gz":

gunzip -c tablelist6.19.tar.gz | tar -xf -

On most UNIX systems this can be replaced with

tar -zxf tablelist6.19.tar.gz

Both commands will create a directory named "tablelist6.19 with the subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts".

On Windows, use WinZip or some other program capable of unpacking the distribution file "tablelist6_19.zip" into the directory
"tablelist6.19", 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 Tcl/Tk 8.4 or higher and 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.
