History of Changes for LIGOtools Package: tclexe

Version 8.3.2

First released version.

Version 8.3.2a

(Peter Shawhan, December 20, 2000)

Still uses the same Tcl/Tk code distribution.
This version fixes the slow startup observed at Hanford and Livingston.
When one installed the "source" distribution of version 8.3.2, certain include files (tcl.h, etc.) were improperly added to $LIGOTOOLS/include. This has been fixed.

Version 8.4.7

(Peter Shawhan, October 6, 2004)

Switch to a new, very mature version of Tcl/Tk
Built-in support for using a http proxy server if the HTTPPROXY environment variable is set. This is one of the topics covered by this FAQ article
New build mechanism which should be more robust against operating system differences. In particular, this version has been tested on Mac OS X (10.3/Panther).

Version 8.4.7 SOURCE re-release

(Peter Shawhan, November 1, 2005)

At suggestion of Karl Wette, generalized the scripts used to build the tclexe package executables so that they work with other C compilers besides just gcc and cc - for example, icc and pgcc.

This change only affects new installations of the tclexe package from the SOURCE distribution file. No change is necessary for existing installations or for new installations from one of the binary distribution files.
