Tk-POD distribution is derived from tkpod and Tk::Pod.pm of
Tk402.003 distribution.  All bugs are mine.  Gifts to the
original author Nick Ing-Simmons <[email protected]>.

Added features compared to the version in Tk402.003:

       o Interface to perlindex full text POD search added
         (you need to install perlindex distribution).
       o L<man/sec> and L<show|man/sec> supported
       o Primitive Tk/More widget with '/', 'n', 'N', j, k
         bindings
       o Added Open and Help menu item
       o Don't open new Toplevel window for new selected POD
         so 'feel' is more like in WWW browsers
       o Added Popup menu for 'Back' 'Reload' 'Edit' 'Search'
       o CDE default font support
       o better lookup of Tk docs with -tk switch
       o Added some POD to tkpod Tk::Pod and Tk::Pod::Text
       o Section menu (thanks to Slaven Rezic)


Known problems with the alpha releases of Tk8:

Tk800.004

none

Tk800.003

A patch of mime that slipped into the release has broken
LabEntry (and therefore FileSelect widget).  So 'Open...'
menu does not work with Tk800.003

Tk800.000 and Tk800.0_01:

       Bad option `Name' at ../tk8/blib/lib/Tk/Menu/Item.pm line 48.
        at ../tk8/blib/lib/Tk/Widget.pm line 225

   A quick fix/workaround is to patch Tk800.000 and 0_01 from

Win95/NT Users:

       I guess that perlindex (relies on perls dbm support) and
       'Edit' are too unixish to work out of the box.  But rest
       of tkpod functionality should work.

History:

version 0.09

       o Tk::Pod & Tk::Pod::Text: fixed version (1.9 > 1.10 problem)
       o Added section menu (Thanks Slaven)
       o Use Busy/UnBusy during load of POD
       o 'Help'->'Usage..' used Pod_usage.pod
       o L</"This heading"> works a bit better (still broken
         if loaded to new POD window)

version 0.08

       o E<> support also 'space' 'tab'
       o I<> is now in weight 'medium' and not 'bold'
       o -font option removed so it's really 'courier'
       o Fixed version number of Tk::Pod and Tk::Pod::Text
         so it increasing again (1.9 > 1.11 problem)

version 0.07

       Tk/Pod/Text.pm
               o Links don't change font size in =head and
                 =item commands
               o Support L<man/"head*"> and L<man/item>
                 (/"head" and /item still don't work when
                 new Pod widget should is opened (<2> or
                 <Shift-1>)
               o Support L<showthis|man/sec> (new in 5.004_05
                 to be and > 5.005_56)

       Tk/Pod.pm
               o Don't pack menubuttons for Tk800.*. (Thanks
                 to Slaven Rezic <[email protected]>)
               o 'Help/Usage' works when installed (also Win*?)

       Tk/More.pm
               o better h,j,k,l bindings scroll regardless of
                 'insert' position
               o insertCursor is invisible (well zero width)
               o insertCursor off time set to 0 sec to switch
                 of blinking (see text.n doc)
               o fixed packing so entry does not fanish for
                 small More widgets

version 0.06

       o fixed 'Quit' error
       o Pod widgets created from another Pod widget have now
         same parent as Pod widget that created them

version 0.05

       o tkpod: added -tk switch so, Pod will be found
         even if Tk:: or Tk/ prefix is omitted.

       o Fixed wrong $VERSION of Tk::Pod

version 0.0401

       o For 2 button mouse owners:
               <Shift-ButtonRelease-1> does same
               as <ButtonRelease-2>: load doc into
               new window.

       o Fixed Tk::Pod version to be higher than in
         Tk402.003 so CPAN.pm gets the right distribution

       o more TODO entries :-)

version 0.04

       o applied Tk/Parse.pm patch of Slaven Rezic
         <[email protected]> to fix problem
         triggered by perlfaq4.pod
       o Allow upcase chars in E<> as: Auml, Ouml,...
       o Shift-Button-1 was used to open new window
         on L<>.  Now it's Button-2
       o added 'szlig' to E<>
       o Added more example POD markup to Tk/Pod/Text for
         verification

version 0.03

       o fixed warn on =for.  Perl Data Language has lots
         of them
       o use alpha FcyEntry widget if available
       o Tk/More status line: flat<->sunken, disabled<->normal

version 0.02

       o use CDE default fonts if available
       o first go on Tk::More widget
       o use perlindex full text index if available

version 0.01

       o derived from Tk402.003 tkpod Tk/Pod.pm
       o Extracted Tk::Pod::Text  from Tk::Pod  and use ROText
       o 'better than nothing POD' for tkpod, Tk::Pod, Tk::Pod::Text.pm
       o Added tkpod Help menu
       o L<> in blue
       o Button-* load POD in same window (with shift in separate
         window)
       o tkpod now exits when last Pod widget is closed
       o quick and dirty 'back' history.
       o Added Popup menu: back, reload, edit
       o removed Autoloader and sub old_process
       o some other little fixes I can't remember right now
