Fellow Netters,

Below follows the announcement of Wafe 1.0.

In short, Wafe can be used as a scripting language to build graphical user
interfaces, as a frontend for arbitrary programming languages and as a
toolkit, which can be linked with c programs etc to provide GUI functionality.

Wafe = Tcl + Xt + (Athena | Motif) + Extensions
Wafe is not based on Tk.

Wafe is available from ftp.wu-wien.ac.at:pub/src/X11/wafe/wafe-1.0.tar.gz.

A copy of the Wafe Usenix paper is included in the tar file above.

PS: Wafe is developed and maintained on my private equipment in my
free time. It is not a project of my current employer.

==================================================================
RELEASE NOTES:

Differences between Wafe version 0.97 and 1.0

o NEWER COMPONENTS

- HTML widget from Mosaic 2.4 (instead of 2.2)
- uses xpm 3.4a (instead of 3.2g)
- HTML widget of Mosaic updated to work with xpm 3.4

o BUG FIXES AND CODE IMPROVEMENTS

+ Wafe's C generator produces now slightly smaller and
faster C code.

+ Improved Imakefile and Installation

- trying to avoid problems with XCOMM,
- auto detecting of OSF/Motif version (only when MOTIF is defined)
- new topLevel makefile (TOPMAKE)
It can be used to build several variants of Wafe
without modifying the Imakefile
- The Imakefile is now better commented and contains more
useful hints. Many thanks to Jim Wight for his suggestions!
- Several #include files have been reconsidered to make
Wafe easier portable on various systems based on Stephen
Gildea's helpful guide "Writing Portable X Code".
- Many file names have been changed in this patch level to
comply with the X Consortium file name restrictions (only
wafe/src and below).

+ Several fixes and improvements for the XmGraph widget:

- All percent codes in XmGraph callbacks referring to widgets
are now substituted by widget IDs

- the following percent codes are implemented now:

for: newArcCallback, newNodeCallback, arcMovedCallback,
nodeMovedCallback, defaultActionCallback,
selectNodeCallback, selectArcCallback,
deselectCallback, selectSubgraphCallback

%A list of selected arcs
%N list of selected nodes
%I widget ID of node or arc, which is manipulated

for: arcMovedCallback

%f old "from-Widget"
%t old "to-Widget"
%F new "from-Widget"
%T new "to-Widget"

- a few other fixes in connection with multiple reason codes
in the XmGraph implementation

+ A small bug fix in the dbug package from Fred Fish was applied. The
bug was triggered by the newly supported commands that allow Wafe
to turn debugging on and off at arbitrary times.

+ Widgets (or objects) which are not children of rectangular objects
are now explicitly created unmanaged. Creating these as managed
could result in damaged contents of the widgets' instance
record. User who had problems with printing from the plotter
widgets might check whether these problems are solved after this
fix.

+ The AtLabelAxis widget class (contained in the plotter widgets) did
not change the labels on the displayed graph under certain
conditions, when they were modified using
AtLabelAxisAttachData. This was a bug in the Plotter widget set.

+ XawSimpleMenuGetActiveEntry returns now Widget-Id instead of widget
name

+ Shells with a "popupCallback ... positionCursor 0" are now always
positioned in a way that the whole menu is visible in the screen
(relevant for popups close to the screen border)

+ A bug introduced in Wafe 0.97.p1 has been fixed (Motif version
only). The percent code substitution for defaultActionCallback
was broken in all widget classes except the XmGraphWidget
class. Thanks to Jan Timm for pointing out the problem!

o NEW GENERAL FEATURES

+ There is a new global Tcl variable WAFELIB pointing to the location
of the Wafe library (usually /usr/lib/X11/wafe)

+ If a Tcl procedure with the name "onExit" is defined (without
arguments) it will be executed whenever Wafe exits.

+ Enhanced connectivity options for frontend applications:

The new version supports the command line option
--S<socketString>, which can be of the form

* <socketName>
example: --S/tmp/wafe.1052-1
* <port>
example: --S8853
* <hostName:port>
example: --Smohegan:8853

If the --S option is used, Wafe establishes during its
initialization a socket communication determined by the
<socketString> and connects its standard input and output to the
created socket.

a) If <socketString> is of the form <socketName>, first the
application program is responsible to create a unique socket
name. Then it calls Wafe with the --S option, passing the socket
name to Wafe. Wafe creates the specified unix domain socket
(like a server) and waits, until the client application program
connects. Wafe will remove the named socket on exit.

b) If <socketString> is of the form <port>, Wafe binds the
specified port (like a server) and waits for the application
program to connect on it. Note, that the specified port is
blocked on the host for the whole Wafe session.

c) If <socketString> is of the form <hostName:port>, a simple two
phase communication protocol is used to establish the
connection.

- In the first phase the application program on host <hostName>
binds the specified port (like a server), spawns Wafe (for
example using remote shell) with the option --S<hostName:port>.
Wafe will connect to the specified host and port.

- In the second phase Wafe will obtain a new unique port, and
establish itself as a sever listening on the new port. The
Wafe will send the new obtained port number as a ASCII string
to the application program over the primary socket. The
application program reads the new port number form the
primary socket and will connect to Wafe on the new port
number and release the original port number such that another
Wafe process can use <port> as well.

A sample implementation of an application program exploiting all
three types of socket connections is provided in
wafe/apps/lang/sock.pl

+ Some optimizations in pixmap (.xpm) file handling for
changePixmap. Pixmaps are now cached and have to be released via
'changePixmap <widget> <resource> <noPixmap>' where noPixmap can be
"None", "ParentRelative", or "Unspecified".

o SUPPORT FOR THE GHOSTVIEW WIDGET CLASS

When wafe (or mofe) is compiled with ghostview support,
PostScript files an be displayed in a Wafe application.

Ghostview is NOT shipped together with Wafe, only the code
for embedding the widget (wafe/src/GsvGen.{spec,c,tex}) and
an Imakefile (wafe/lib/ghostview/Imakefile); see
wafe/INSTALL how to compile wafe with ghostview support (it
is actually pretty easy).

An OSF/Motif sample script using the ghostview widget can be
found in wafe/src/tcl/m-ghostview

o BETTER SUPPORT FOR ATHENA WIDGET SET

+ The new version has an output converter for Athena List widget for
resource "list" (necessary for [gV somelist list])

+ Support for Athena Repeater widget class:

A Repeater widget is a subclass of the Athena Command widget
class, which executes its callback repeatedly when the button is
pressed. The most important additional resources are startCallback,
stopCallback and various configurations for timeouts.

Supported Wafe command to create a Repeater widget:

Repeater <name> <parent> <resource value pairs>

See: wafe/src/tcl/repeater.tcl

o BETTER OSF/MOTIF SUPPORT

+ New Commands For mofe (OSF/Motif version of Wafe):

The following commands are newly supported for OSF/Motif 1.1:

XmCommandGetChild <XmCommandWidget> <Child>
XmSelectionBoxGetChild <XmSelectionBoxWidget> <Child>
XmUpdateDisplay <Widget>

The following commands are newly supported for OSF/Motif 1.2:

XmChangeColor <Widget> <backgroundColor>
XmTextDisableRedisplay <XmTextWidget>
XmTextEnableRedisplay <XmTextWidget>
XmScrollVisible <XmScrolledWindow> <Widget> <leftMargin> <topMargin>

+ TearOff menues are supported for OSF/Motif 1.2
For an example look into wafe/src/m-htmlBrowse

o IMPROVED X TOOLKIT SUPPORT

+ Support for Xt's Work Procedures:

Work Procedures can be used to implement a simple form of
background processing. Most application spend most of its time
waiting for input. A Tcl Work Procedure can be registered which
will be executed whenever Xt is idle. Unless the Tcl procedure
returns 1, it will be restarted automatically when Xt is idle
again. See Xt Intrinsics Manual for more details (XtAppAddWorkProc,
XtWorkProc)

Supported Wafe commands:

addWorkProc <TclCommand> (returns workProcID)
removeWorkProc <workProcId>

+ Support for X11R6's hook objects:

An application may register functions, which are triggered at
particular control points in the Intrinsics. These functions are
intended to provide notifications of "Xt events" such as widget
creation, modification, destroyal etc. X11R6 provides a "Hook
Object" with several resources for callbacks (createHook,
changeHook, configureHook, geometryHook, destroyHook).

In Wafe these resources can be set and read using the standard sV
and gV functions. The following percent codes can be used in the
callback procedures:

%w name of the Widget modified, destroyed etc.
%W widget ID of the Widget modified, destroyed etc.
%t type of the notification describing what happened

Supported Wafe command:

hooksOfDisplay <Widget>

returns widget ID of the Hook Object, which can
be used for sV, gV, showRes etc. The specified
widget determines the display.

In case you experience problems in X11R6 with this Wafe function, i
have a bug fix for X11R6's Xt, which i submitted some time ago to
the X Consortium. I am not sure how soon this (or another fix for
the problem) will be publically available from the X Consortium.

Another surprise with X11R6 was the following: Wafe compiled with
X11R6 is smaller than Wafe compiled with X11R5!

+ New commands (only available under X11R5 or newer):

fallbackResources <widget> <attribute resource pairs>

where <widget> is used to determine the resource database
(screen or display). The command "fallbackResources" is very
similar to "mergeResources" with the only difference that in
cases, where a matching resource entry is already available
in the resource database, the provided value in
fallbackResources is ignored. fallbackResources have the
lowest priority.

combineFileDatabase <filename> <widget> <override>

where filename is the name of a resource file, <widget> is
used to determine the resource database (screen or
display) and <override> determines whether already loaded
resource entries should be overwritten or not.

o BETTER SUPPORT FOR THE PLOTTER WIDGET SET

The new Wafe version supports now several percent codes for the
clickCallback, motionCallback, dragCallback and slideCallback of
the Plotter widget class. The returned values can be used to let
the user click on bar graphs or to select ranges on axis etc.

clickCallback,
motionCallback:
%x pixel position of the x coordinate
%y pixel position of the y coordinate
%a position in terms of 1st x axis
%b position in terms of 1st y axis
%c position in terms of 2nd x axis
%d position in terms of 2nd y axis

dragCallback,
slideCallback:
%x lower left x position in pixels of rect. area
%y lower left y position in pixels of rect. area
%a lower left position in terms of 1st x axis
%b lower left position in terms of 1st y axis
%c lower left position in terms of 2nd x axis
%d lower left position in terms of 2nd y axis
%X upper right x position in pixels of rect. area
%Y upper right y position in pixels of rect. area
%A upper right position in terms of 1st x axis
%B upper right position in terms of 1st y axis
%C upper right position in terms of 2nd x axis
%D upper right position in terms of 2nd y axis

o IMPROVED DEBUGGING FACILITIES

+ Two new commands are now available to change the debugging options
during a Wafe session. The commands have the same names as the
corresponding MACROS from the dbug library

DBUG_PUSH <Options>
DBUG_POP

DBUG_PUSH accepts the same arguments as the --D command line
option. For example the Wafe command

DBUG_PUSH d:t

turns on debug and trace messages; for details concerning the
argument string (profiling, etc), consult the manual page in
wafe/lib/dbug/dbug.man.

o MORE TCL SAMPLE SCRIPTS

... for Athena Widgets:

+ Example for using Tcl's "trace var ..." facility to control widget
resources (cool!)

Using Tcl's trace facility it is possible to trigger Tcl
commands, whenever these variables are updated (or read or
deleted). This makes it for example possible, to define a global
variable BACKGROUND, and whenever this variable is modified, the
background resources of several widget can be updated

See: wafe/src/tcl/repeater.tcl

+ Simple graphical debugger for Wafe (Tcl code)

This is a small debugger for Wafe. It is very experimental and
has probably many bugs. it is quite dangerous to try to debug
the debugger with itself. However, i found already a bug with it
in a 6000 line Wafe application (Tcl part), so other might like
to share it, but don't expect that it puts you out of your
socks. It was mostly implemented on one rainy Sunday afternoon.

Essentially, this debugger supports
- call level tracing on
+ Tcl procedures,
+ Wafe built-ins, and
+ global Tcl variables (on read, write, unset)
- inspection of the current state of
+ Tcl procedures and
+ global Tcl variables

The debugger can be called by the Tcl Command "wafeDebug" and
should be loaded via autoload. The current version uses the
Athena widget set, it should be quite easy to provide OSF/Motif
support as well.


+ Several sample scripts for various types of menues using
the Athena widget set

menupul1.tcl demonstrating pulldown menu (actually drop-down :)
menupul2.tcl demonstrating pulldown menu (without MenuButton)
menupop.tcl demonstrating popup menu
menucasc.tcl demonstrating cascading menues
menuchk.tcl demonstrating checking menu

+ New in the distribution is a tiny sample program that illustrates
how to use the X11R5 Athena's Tree widget class

wafe/src/tree.tcl

... for OSF/Motif Widgets:

+ wafe/src/tcl/m-htmlBrowse:

The appearance of wafe/src/tcl/m-htmlBrowse is now Motif Style
Guide compliant. Additionally, the following features has been
implemented
-> m-htmlBrowse jumps on "back" operations to the correct scroll
position (instead to the last used anchor).
-> search in HTML documents
-> scrolling via cursor,
-> tear off menus
-> reload
-> accelerators
-> busy watch

+ New sexy demo for the graph widget:

wafe/src/tcl/m-graph-config

o IMPROVEMENTS FOR PERL WRITTEN WAFE APPLICATIONS

+ cosmetical changes in various Perl written sample applications

+ Several code improvements for xwafemail and xwafenews (some to Tcl
procedures rewritten to reduce number of braces needed)

+ Several improvements in xwafemail

* xwafemail has a new "ReplyAll" and a "Update" button.
"ReplayAll" puts all addressees of an received mail into
the Cc: line for a reply mail, "Update" rewrites the
mailbox and removes mail articles marked as to delete.

* xwafemail supports now only fastmode (previously option -F)

* Ctrl-n can be used for digest-like mails to skip to the
next part of the mail starting with dashes.

* Adding aliases:
The key combination Ctrl-a can be used in received mails
to popup a window to add an alias.

* Completion of addresses:
When a mail is being sent, the Tab key can be used
in lines starting with To:, Cc: or Bcc: to expand
aliases. Say, there is an alias "joe" defined as
"someUser@someHost.someNet", typing joe and
pressing the Tab key will expand the alias. In fact,
any unique abbreviation of an nickname will be complete.

+ Several improvements in xwafenews:

* Adding aliases:
The key combination Ctrl-a can be used in the article
window to popup a window to add an alias.

* Completion of addresses:
When an article is being forwarded, the Tab key can be used
in the To: line to expand aliases (see above under xwafemail
for more details)

* Reduced memory consumption by avoiding to pass large
Perl arrays as arguments

* New command line option -e (economy mode):
In economy mode xwafenews behaves differently in two
respects:

a) the nntp server is NOT asked, which newsgroups
are available
b) the newsrc file will never grow. If the newsrc file
at startup has say 10 lines, it will stay in this
size

Background:
Here at research we have about 15 thousand newsgroups
(no typo), which are transferred during startup from
the nntp server and compared against the 15 thousand
entries in the .newsrc file. I am watching about 200
newsgroups (roughly 1 percent). In most situations,
most of the time and storage is wasted.

Here some statistics:

option newsgroups memory (Perl) startup (reading groups)
standard 15500 56MB 48sec
-e 15500 27MB 29sec
-e 500 6MB 4sec

in my situation the improvement in memory consumption
and time spent in preparing newsgroup information
is roughly a factor of 10, when -e is used. Information
about new newsgroups can be obtained from
news.announce.newsgroups.

If -e is used, and the option "all groups" is selected
on a large newsgroups file, speed is worse than without
-e, since xwafenews asks for each group separately
which articles are available.

o SUPPORT FOR EMBEDDING WAFE IN PYTHON

Wafepython is an extension to Python allowing to build python
applications with graphical user interfaces based on the OSF/Motif or
Athena Widget set. Python is an interpreted, interactive,
object-oriented programming language. It incorporates modules,
exceptions, dynamic typing, very high level dynamic data types, and
classes.

Wafepython provides a bi-directional calling interface between Python
and Wafe based on strings.

Wafepython supports currently the following Python commands:

wafe.cmd(string) evaluate string as Wafe command
wafe.set(nameString,valueString) set the Tcl variable named in
the first argument to the value
in the second argument
wafe.process_events() start the event processing loop
of Wafe (should be the last command
in the script)

In addition, the following Wafe commands are created during
initialization of Wafe to archive the Wafe-calls-Python interface:

pythonS <pythonFunctionName> <arguments>
pythonE <pythonStatement>
pythonF <pythonFunction>

Four sample scripts (demo1 to demo4) are shipped with wafepython.
The first two are for the Athena widget set, the latter are for
OSF/Motif. The demo scripts are VERY similar to the scripts provided
with wafeperl and do not exploit any sophisticated python
functionality.

=============================================================================
Appendix 1: WHAT IS WAFE - A CLOSER LOOK

Wafe (Widget[Athena]front end) is a package that implements a
symbolic interface to the Athena widgets (X11R5) and OSF/Motif.

The Wafe ingredients formula reads as:
Wafe = Tcl + Xt + WidgetSets + Extensions

Wafe can be used for

- implementing GUI based frontends
- providing a scripting language for the X Toolkit
- linkable, string based interface to GUI functionality,
relatively easy to use from any programming language

When Wafe is used as a frontend, a Wafe application consists of
two parts: a front-end (Wafe) and an application program which
runs typically as a separate process. The application program
can be implemented in an arbitrary programming language and
talks to the front-end via stdio. Since Wafe (the front-end)
was developed using the extensible TCL shell (cite John
Ousterhout), an application program can dynamically submit
requests to the front-end to build up the graphical user
interface; the application can also down-load application
specific procedures into the front-end, which can be executed
without interaction with the application program.

In opposite to the described two process frontend approach, Wafe
applications can also be written purely in TCL, or Wafe could be
linked to another application program/interpreter which could
exploit it's user interface facilities. In the Wafe distribution
are sample implementations for embedding Wafe in interpretative
languages included, which provide a bidirectional interface from
and to Wafe. These are

- wafeperl (a version of Perl enhanced with Wafe commands),
- wafepython (a version of Python enhanced with Wafe commands),

When Wafe is used as a scripting language or for embedding,
certainly, only one process is running during execution time.

The distribution contains sample application programs in Perl,
GAWK, Prolog, Python, Tcl, C and Ada talking to the same Wafe
binary. Most of the following demo applications are implemented
in Perl 4.0.36:

- xwafedesign: interactive design program for Wafe applications
- xwafeftp: FTP front-end
- xwafemail: Mail user front-end with faces, using elm aliases
- xwafenews: NNTP based newsreader, using elm aliases
- xwafegopher: a very simple gopher interface
- xdirtree: tree directory browser
- xprojektor: white board program for the classroom
- xbm: bitmap and pixmap viewer
- xwafemc: multiple choice test answering program
- xruptimes: rwho monitor like xnetload
- xnetstats: network statistics;
front-end for netstat -i <interval>
- xvmstats: system statistics;
front-end for vmstat -i <interval>
- xiostats: io statistics;
front-end for iostat -i <interval>
- xwafeping: pings several machines an show up-status
- xwafecf: a simple read only card-filer
- xwafetel: a simple read only Oracle front-end for
looking up telephone numbers
- xwafeora: a more elaborated Oracle front-end with
updates capable to model an entity type
with distinct predicate defined subtypes,
allowing multi valued attributes (it comes
with sample applications "filing
management" and "paper base") doing field
completion and other funky stuff

- primfakt.awk: primfakt program in GAWK using wafe
- primfakt.prolog: primfakt program in Prolog using wafe
- primfakt.perl: primfakt program in Perl using wafe
- primfakt.py: primfakt program in Python using wafe
- primfakt.c: primfakt program in C using wafe
- primfakt.a: primfakt program in Ada using wafe
- cprimfakt.c: native C implementation of primfakt
(single process, without wafe)
- xprimfakt.tcl: primfakt program in TCL using wafe
(single process)

- perlwafe: an example program calling wafe as a subprocess
of the application program (normally, it is the other
way round).

HOW CAN WAFE BE USED AS A FRONTEND

Suppose you have an application program named "app". If we
install a link like "ln -s wafe xapp" and execute "xapp ", the
program "app" is spawn as a subprocess of wafe and connects its
stdio channels with the front end. Lines written from the
application program to stdout are read from Wafe. If the line
starts with a certain character (such as %) Wafe tries to
interpret the remainder of the line as Wafe command (in Tcl
syntax). Alternatively the application program could be started
by the command "wafe --p app".

In most example programs of the distribution the application
program is run as a subprocess of wafe, one example (perlwafe)
shows the opposite constellation where the "link magic" is not
needed. Since Wafe 0.96, the distributed sample Perl programs
can be started with Wafe on top (e.g xwafemail or wafe --p
wafemail) or alternatively with perl on top by using the -P
option (wafemail -P). This is possible without changing the
source code of the application program.

ADVANTAGES of Wafe

- application program can be written in wide range of
programming languages
- better separation between user interface and
application program matters
- relatively high level interface to widget applications
- single wafe binary for multiple applications
- better refresh behavior when application program is busy
- click ahead
- no need to hack C code
- easier migration from existing ascii based programs to
X-window applications
- various modes and types of operation of Wafe for a
wide range of application provided
- many widgets sets are supported
(Athena, OSF/Motif, XmGraph, Plotter, HTML)

REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICATION PROGRAMS

In order to use Wafe in a two process setup, an application
program must be able to write **LINEBUFFERED** (or unbuffered)
to stdout (the application program must at least be able to
flush the buffer) and to read from stdio. The application
program determines the syntax in which Wafe talks back.

AVAILABILITY

Wafe was developed originally on DECstations 5000/200 under
Ultrix 4.2 using X11R5, and has been tested on a SparcStation 1+
under SunOS 4.1, RS6000/320 under AIX, on a HP 9000/720 under
hpux 8.05 and under Linux 1.0. Wafe can be compiled under X11R5
and X11R4. The preferred program-to-program communication is
done via socketpair, support for PIPES and SYS V streams is
included for systems without the socktepair system call.

NECESSARY, BUT NOT INCLUDED

Most application of the distribution are written in Perl. Perl
4.036 is needed to run these applications. Two applications will
need oraperl. Only user with an Oracle license might find
wafeora and wafetel useful. User might wish to compile wafe with
the 3d Athena Widget library Xaw3d-0.6.tar.Z. Pointers to the
source can be found in the INSTALL file.
