End of Life Announcement for Snowmix 0.4.4
Snowmix will from version 0.5 no longer support execution of the following commands:
overlay feed ...
overlay image ...
overlay virtual feed ...
The commands are still available in Snowmix 0.4.x. The commands has been replaced in Snowmix version 0.4.4 by the following commands:
feed overlay ...
image overlay ...
virtual feed ...
The command feed overlay is an addition to the *stack* command providing control for when a feed is overlayed/mixed. The overlay feed command was never made public prior to version 0.4.4 and take in version 0.4.3 a different sets of arguments compared to the feed overlay command as of version 0.4.4. because it was not made public, Snowmix will for the version after 0.4.3 only update its minor version number. More information is available in the ChangeLog.
The command shape overlay has been added the identical command shape place overlay. The latter form is recommended from version 0.4.4 an onwards as the form shape overlay will be removed from version 0.5.x
Snowmix will from version 0.5 no longer support execution of snowmix commands through returned strings from the Tcl Interpreter. Until then the follwoing is still supported although no longer recommended:
command create example.tcl
proc my_example {} {
set s "\ntext string 1 This is an example\n"
return $s
}
command end
tcl exec example.tcl
tcl eval my_example
The above example is setting the text string from within the Tcl Interpreter. From version 0.5.x this has to be implemented as shown below
command create example.tcl
proc my_example {} {
set s "text string 1 This is an example"
snowmix parse $s
}
command end
tcl exec example.tcl
tcl eval my_example
The above example is supported and recommended from Snowmix version 0.4.4. The Tcl interpreter command snowmix parse was introduced for Snowmix version 0.4.4.
