Windowlist 1.1

I've been doing quite a bit of hacking on Tk-Cocoa recently, submitting a few code patches to the core developers to improve small aspects of its functionality, and also submitting patches to other projects that make use of the framework, to integrate some of its improvements. This takes some time away from commercial development, but this investment will be repaid later when my own commercial products see the improvements as well.

Amid all this work, I've updated one of my own open-source packages, windowlist. Windowlist is a package that adds a window-management menu for use by Tk applications. This update includes some code from Tom Hennigan of the aMSN team to navigate open windows with keyboard shortcuts. It also includes some changes to make it play nice with Tk-Cocoa.

While I'm proud of all the open-source work I do, windowlist is probably my favorite: it's not a complicated package, but it is solid and implements some real functionality that improves an application's usability on the Mac. aMSN and TkChat have adopted windowlist for use in those applications. I'm very pleased by that.
