Quill v0.3.0

Quill v0.3.0 has now been released, and is available on the Quill Release Page. Binaries are available for OS X, Windows, and for 32-bit and 64-bit Linux.

Quill is a project automation tool for Tcl/Tk projects. Quill creates project directory trees with skeleton code, and manages many project tasks, including running tests, building documentation, preparing libraries for inclusion in a teapot repository, building applications, and building distribution sets. Some of these capabilities depend on ActiveTcl and TclDevKit; many do not.

If you give Quill a try, with any degree of success or failure, please report any problems or enhancement requests at the Quill issue tracker or or e-mail me at will -at- wjduquette -dot- com.

The full release notes are available at the first link, above; here’s a summary:

• 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.
