[ current support status of Tcl/Tk extensions ]

*** RELEASE_DATE of the libraries => see 'tkextlib/version.rb' ***

The following list shows CURRENT status when this file was last modified. If you want to add other Tcl/Tk extensions to the planned list (or change their status position), please send a request to the ruby-talk, ruby-list, or ruby-dev ML. Although we cannot promise to support your requests, we'll try to do it.

If you want to check that wrapper libraries are ready to use on your environment, please execute 'pkg_checker.rb' with no arguments. The script may give you some hints about that.

***** IMPORTANT NOTE **********************************************

  'support' means that Ruby/Tk's wrapper libraries are released.
  'not support' does *NOT* mean that the extension doesn't work
  on Ruby/Tk.

  The version number of each extension means the latest version
  which is checked its feature. That is, it does NOT means only
  version of working. Library files maybe include some features
  which is included in the former version but removed from the
  latest, and maybe able to support the later version then the
  shown version.

  Even if the status of the extension is 'not support', you can
  control the functions/widgets of the extension without wrapper
  libraries by Tk.tk_call(), Tk.ip_eval(), and so on.

  If you cannot use installed Tcl/Tk extension, please check the
  followings.

   (1) On your Tcl/Tk, does the extension work?

   (2) Do DLL libraries of the extension exist on DLL load-path?
       (See also "<ruby archive>/ext/tcltklib/README.ActiveTcl")

   (3) Is the Tcl library directory of the extension included in
       library search-path of the Tcl interpreter linked Ruby/Tk?

  The check results may request you to do some setup operations
  before using the extension. If so, then please write the step
  of setup operations into the "setup.rb" file in the directory
  of the wrapper libraries for the extension (It is the wrapper
  libraries have the standard structure of the libraries in this
  directory). The "setup" file is required before requiring the
  Tcl library package (TkPackage.require(<libname>)).
