    I am pleased to announce version 1.11 of the scrolling utilities package Scrollutil.

    What is new in Scrollutil 1.11?
    -------------------------------

    1. Added the "-setfocus" scrollarea configuration option, which controls
       whether clicking one of the scrollbars should set the focus to the
       widget embedded into the scrollarea (thanks to Alexandru Dadalau for
       discussions on a related subject).

    2. Added the "-forgetcommand", "-leavecommand", and "-movabletabs"
       scrollednotebook configuration options.

    3. Added the plainnotebook widget, which extends a ttk::notebook having
       an arbitrary number of pages with invisible tabs by a ttk::frame to
       its left or right containing, among others, a scrollableframe whose
       content frame is the parent of a series of widgets that play the role
       of vertically laid-out notebook tabs.  The above-mentioned options
       are supported by this widget, too, and its "-closabletabs" option
       controls whether the tabs can be closed with the mouse.

    4. Added the pagesman widget, which provides the basic functionality of
       a pages manager.  By using it with plainnotebook widgets as pages, it
       is quite easy to write applications in which the user can descend
       from a plainnotebook to another one with a single mouse click and
       switch back in the same way to the original one.  Everything needed
       for this navigation is provided by appropriate options and
       subcommands of the plainnotebook widget.

    5. The demo script ScrolledNotebookDemo.tcl now makes use of the
       "-forgetcommand" and "-leavecommand" scrollednotebook options.

    6. Added two new demo scripts using the plainnotebook and pagesman
       widgets, together with their "-forgetcommand" and "-leavecommand"
       options.  The plainnotebook widgets of these scripts have closable
       and (per default) movable tabs.

    7. Corrected the required tile version from 0.6 to 0.8.

    8. Fixed a bug related to the supported scaling percentages on Windows
       (thanks to Manfred Schwarz for his bug report).

    Wow, all two month a full new widget. That is really amazing.
    Thank you Csaba,
    Harald

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

    Scrollutil is available for free download from the Web page

    https://www.nemethi.de

    he distribution file is "scrollutil1.11.tar.gz" for UNIX and "scrollutil1_11.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
    directory at the same level as the Tcl and Tk script libraries. The
    locations of these library directories are given by the "tcl_library"
    and "tk_library" variables, respectively.

    To install Scrollutil on UNIX, "cd" to the desired directory and unpack
    the distribution file "scrollutil1.11.tar.gz":

    gunzip -c scrollutil1.11.tar.gz | tar -xf -

    On most UNIX systems this can be replaced with

    tar -zxf scrollutil1.11.tar.gz

    Both commands will create a directory named "scrollutil1.11", with the subdirectories "demos", "doc", and "scripts".

    On Windows, use WinZip or some other program capable of unpacking the distribution file "scrollutil1_11.zip" into the directory
    "scrollutil1.11", 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 widget; this package requires Tcl/Tk 8.4 or
    higher and tile 0.6 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 "scrollutil::scrollednotebook" command, which is provided by the Scrollutil_tile package only).

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

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

    Likewise, to be able to use the commands and variables implemented in
    the package Scrollutil_tile, 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.
