Quill v0.4.0

Significant Changes:

• Quill has a new template architecture for project trees and other
  project elements.
• There are now two project tree templates, "app" and "lib".
• There is now a 'quill add' command, for adding skeleton project
  elements (libs, apps, etc.) to existing projects.

Quill v0.3.0

Significant Changes:

• There is now a minimally complete user's guide.
• Quill can now format section-numbered documents as well as man pages.
• Quill build products reference the full platform string. I.e., Quill now knows
  the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit Linux.
• quill build all: One command now serves to:
  • Check the project's dependencies
  • Run the project's tests
  • Format the project's documentation
  • Build the project's libraries
  • Build the project's applications for the current platform.
  • Build the distribution .zip file(s) for the current platform.
• quill build for: Following quill build all, Quill can now build the
  project for any platform for which a basekit available, building the
  project's applications and distribution files for the platform with
  one command.
• quill basekit: The user can list basekits available locally and at
  teapot.activestate.com, and retrieve basekits for local use.
• quill teapot fix: Quill has a new scheme for managing the permissions on the
  local teapot that does not require running Quill with sudo. It should also
  work better on Linux.
• Considerable work on the internals.

Quill v0.2.0

This is the second release of the Quill Build System for TCL/TK. See the README and other documentation for complete information on what Quill is, and on the features of this release.

Quill 0.2.0 contains these changes over Quill 0.1.0.

• Support for any TCL Interpreter. (Previously, Quill only worked with ActiveTcl 8.6 installations.)
• Better support for Windows, thanks to Stephan Effelsberg who pointed out a number of bugs.
• User-editable configuration. Quill relies on a number of helper applications, include the user's tclsh.
  These can now be set explicitly if need be. See 'quill env' for a list of the helpers Quill is using.
• Quill can run arbitrary scripts in the context of the project's code base.
• Quill can now build starpacks for other platforms, acquiring basekits from teapot.activestate.com.

Quill still relies on ActiveTcl's "teacup" executable and on TclDevKit's "tclapp" executable for certain functions; but Quill can still do a great deal for you even if neither of these are available.

Quill v0.1.0

This is the initial public release of Quill, a build system and project manager for Tcl projects. Quill is intended to automate all of the normal development activities with a minimum of fuss.

As of v0.1.0, Quill can

• Create application project trees
• Run test suites
• Format nice looking HTML documentation
• Manage and retrieve external packages using teacup
• Build stand-alone applications and starkits using tclapp

Quill is used to manage its own development. It has been tested in use on OS X; it is designed to work on Linux and Windows as well, but there are likely to be bugs. Please report any issues using the tcl-quill issue tracker at [http://github.com/wduquette/tcl-quill].
