I am pleased to announce version 2.7 of the scrolling utilities package Scrollutil.

What is new in Scrollutil 2.7?
------------------------------

1. Added support for the "-class" configuration option to the
plainnotebook and scrollednotebook widgets.

2. Added support for the "-style" configuration option to the
plainnotebook widget (already present for the scrollednotebook
widget).

3. The Scrollutil distribution now includes the new wide spinbox package
wsb, which implements the Wide.TSpinbox layout having scaling-aware
up and down arrows of user-friendly size and placement, which comes
in handy especially when running AndroWish on a tablet or smartphone.

4. Improvements related to the handling of mouse wheel and
<TouchpadScroll> events in scrollable widget containers.

5. The demo scripts "BwScrollableFrmDemo2.tcl", "ScrolledFrmDemo2.tcl",
and "SuScrollableFrmDemo2.tcl" now use ttk::toggleswitch rather than
tsw::toggleswitch widgets if available, and also make use of the wsb
package.

6. Guarded against premature destruction of a scrollarea widget (thanks
to Alexandru Dadalau and Harald Oehlmann for their bug reports).

How to get it?
--------------

Scrollutil is available for free download from the Web page

https://www.nemethi.de

The distribution file is "scrollutil2.7.tar.gz" for UNIX and "scrollutil2_7.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.

Scrollutil 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
subdirectory of the "lib" directory within your Tcl/Tk installation.

To install Scrollutil on UNIX, "cd" to the desired directory and unpack
the distribution file "scrollutil2.7.tar.gz":

gunzip -c scrollutil2.7.tar.gz | tar -xf -

On most UNIX systems this can be replaced with

tar -zxf scrollutil2.7.tar.gz

Both commands will create a directory named "scrollutil2.7", with the subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts".

On Windows, use WinZip or some other program capable of unpacking the distribution file "scrollutil2_7.zip" into the directory
"scrollutil2.7", with the subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts".

How to use it?
--------------

The Scrollutil distribution provides two packages, called Scrollutil and Scrollutil_tile. The main difference between the two is that
Scrollutil_tile enables the tile-based, theme-specific appearance of scrollarea, scrollsync, and scrollableframe widgets, and provides the
themed scrollednotebook and plainnotebook widgets; this package requires
tile 0.8 or higher. It is not possible to use both packages in one and
the same application, because both are implemented in the same
"scrollutil" namespace and provide identical commands (except for the
commands "scrollutil::scrollednotebook", "scrollutil::plainnotebook", "scrollutil::addclosetab", "scrollutil::removeclosetab", and "scrollutil::closetabstate", which are provided by the Scrollutil_tile
package only).

To be able to access the commands and variables of the Scrollutil
package, your scripts must contain one of the lines

package require scrollutil ?version?
package require Scrollutil ?version?

Likewise, to be able to access the commands and variables of the Scrollutil_tile package, your scripts must contain one of the lines

package require scrollutil_tile ?version?
package require Scrollutil_tile ?version?

Since the packages Scrollutil and Scrollutil_tile are implemented in the "scrollutil" namespace, you must either import the procedures you need,
or use qualified names like "scrollutil::scrollarea".

For a detailed description of the commands and variables provided by
Scrollutil and of the examples contained in the "demos" directory, see
the tutorial "scrollutil.html" and the reference pages, all located in
the "doc" directory.
