What's new in JBlend?



The Ancestor: TclBlend 1.4.1

JBlend is a fork of the TclBlend Project, more precisely version 1.4.1.
Why fork ?
TclBlend 1.4.1 - the last available release - is pretty old (2008), and our new goals required a deep rework on the code base; hence the need of a radical evolution major release (2.0) and a new name JBlend.

The new goals were:

To achieve these goals JBlend lost the TclBlend/Tcljava ability to act as a bidirectional bridge between a JVM and a Tcl interpreter; JBlend can be used only in one way, from Tcl to Java and not in the opposite direction. For many Tcl users like me, this is enough ;-).
