LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Quill v0.3.0 has now been released, and is available on the Quill Release Page. Binaries are available for OS X, Windows, and for 32-bit and 64-bit Linux.

Quill is a project automation tool for Tcl/Tk projects. Quill creates project directory trees with skeleton code, and manages many project tasks, including running tests, building documentation, preparing libraries for inclusion in a teapot repository, building applications, and building distribution sets. Some of these capabilities depend on ActiveTcl and TclDevKit; many do not.

If you give Quill a try, with any degree of success or failure, please report any problems or enhancement requests at the Quill issue tracker or or e-mail me at will -at- wjduquette -dot- com.

The full release notes are available at the first link, above; here’s a summary:

There is now a minimally complete user’s guide.
Quill can now format section-numbered documents as well as man pages.
Quill build products reference the full platform string. I.e., Quill now knows
the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit Linux.
`quill build all`: One command now serves to:
- Check the project’s dependencies
- Run the project’s tests
- Format the project’s documentation
- Build the project’s libraries
- Build the project’s applications for the current platform.
- Build the distribution .zip file(s) for the current platform.
`quill build for`: Following `quill build all`, Quill can now build the
project for any platform for which a basekit available, building the
project’s applications and distribution files for the platform with
one command.
`quill basekit`: The user can list basekits available locally and at
teapot.activestate.com, and retrieve basekits for local use.
`quill teapot fix`: Quill has a new scheme for managing the permissions on the
local teapot that does not require running Quill with `sudo`. It should also
work better on Linux.
Considerable work on the internals.
