Tk/JComboBox version 1.14
=========================

CHANGES OVERVIEW: (details below)

 Maintenance release to correct memory leak, and minor documentation
 problems.

OVERVIEW:

JComboBox is a Combo Box implementation that combines several features of the various Combo Box implementations available for Perl/Tk and attempts to provide a solution that should cover the majority of your Combo Box needs. The implementation tends to skew somewhat towards the Java and Win32 implementation of a Combo Box more than the Motif one.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed suggestions, code, and any other feedback. I'm not always able to incorporate that feedback, but I've always found it to be helpful. I hope this widget continues to be useful.

CHANGES for 1.14 RELEASE: (Full Change history in Changes file)

1.14 Maintenance/Bug Fixes: (No new features)

  - Issue: bdz (on clptk) reported a problem when choices
    arrayref contained a selected param for one of the
    entries (in editable mode). The problem was due to
    choices method being called prior to the widget
    options being defined in ConfigSpecs within the
    Populate method.

    - Resolution: Moved choices call to after the
       ConfigSpecs definition; tested. Seems fine.

  - Issue: Beno�t Vincente reported obscure problem that
    indicated problems with JComboBox::Tie. After
    investigation, it appears that when the master
    JComboBox is destroyed, it is not automatically
    removed the tie. This problem is trickier than
    it appears, partly because of the implementation
    of Tk::JComboBox::Tie and partly because of how
    widget destruction is done in Perl/Tk.

    - Resolution: Added a few lines to check all
    JComboBox listeners, to see if they still existed prior
    to sending event notification to each. If a listener
    no longer exists, it is removed, and the reference
    is undef'd. This appears to fix the case Beno�t
    reported (which should rarely occur in any case).

  - Minor revisions to JComboBox pod.
