Previously it was an archive of an archive (of the 'npm pack' output)
published under the same artifict filename (which becomes the default
download filenmame) which is a headache when you start to download more
than one (like when testing between versions).
Now the 'npm pack' output is attached as-is using its original filename,
but also the extracted contents are attached as standard GitHub
artifact ZIP, using a unique filename (based on the unique build version).
Filter out unwanted tag version as candiates to build with:
refs/tags/core-9-0-b3 UNWANTED
refs/tags/core-9-0-b2 UNWANTED
refs/tags/core-9-0-b1-rc4 UNWANTED
refs/tags/core-9-0-b1 UNWANTED
refs/tags/core-9-0-a3 UNWANTED
refs/tags/core-9-0-a1 UNWANTED
refs/tags/core-9-0-4
refs/tags/core-9-0-3
refs/tags/core-9-0-2
refs/tags/core-9-0-1
refs/tags/core-9-0-0
Previously the lexical order would result in alpha/beta/rc
matching in preference to the stable Tcl version IDs. So our WASM
build would not be against the upstream stable release which is
the intention.
previously node20 was the default, with override to force node22 but
node24 has been out since May 2025 and is current LTS, with node26
out since May 2026 and current stable (but non-LTS).
The AppImage release workflows trigger on any tag (the project tags
releases as e.g. 8.3.662, without a v prefix), but the npm publish
gate in main-wasm.yml required a v-prefixed tag, so a normal release
tag built the AppImages but never published the npm package to GitHub
Packages. The gate now accepts both forms, so a single tag releases
everything.
Add explicit length limit to sscanf in TclmagicRegisterCommands: %92s
instead of %s prevents a potential stack overwrite if a command name
were ever longer than the buffer. Matches the available space (keyword[100]
minus the 7-byte "magic::" prefix minus null).
Extend the CI output-display step to also iterate over output-tcl/ so
that TCL-variant test regressions are visible in the job log without
downloading artifacts.
Rename *-magic.tcl scripts to *-tcl.tcl to match the -tcl.js test naming
convention. Delete the old bare-command pcell.tcl (used cellname create,
no magic:: prefix) and promote pcell-magic.tcl to pcell.tcl.
Fix misleading comment in magicWasm.c: Tclmagic_Init only bootstraps the
interpreter; magic:: commands are registered separately by
TclmagicRegisterCommands after magicMainInit. Align comment block
dashes in TclmagicRegisterCommands to match tclmagic.c style (62 dashes).
Replace intubun/tcl references in build scripts and CI with tcltk/tcl to
match the actual pinned repo in npm/tcl.ref. Also run both test suites
when build.sh is invoked with --test.
All non-TCL tests (extract, gds, drc, cif) now also run against the TCL
variant using magic::-prefixed Tcl scripts. A new PCell test generates
two parameterized rectangle cells and verifies their GDS output.
The CI workflow runs npm run test:tcl after the TCL build and saves the
generated output files as an artifact.
Bump VERSION to 8.3.645.
magic.wasm can now be built as two variants packaged in the same npm
release: notcl/ (legacy, magic's own parser) and tcl/ (intubun/tcl 9.x
statically linked, commands evaluated by Tcl_EvalEx). The TCL fork is
pinned via npm/tcl.ref and cloned/built by magic itself — the tcl/
checkout is treated as read-only and built out-of-source into
magic/build-tcl-wasm/.
Configure layer:
- New usingTk variable decoupled from usingTcl in scripts/configure.in
+ scripts/configure, so --with-tcl --without-tk is finally a valid
combination. Native Linux Tcl+Tk builds keep their previous behaviour
(both flags default to enabled).
- When usingTk is empty, configure passes -DMAGIC_NO_TK so the small
number of remaining Tk callsites in tcltk/tclmagic.{h,c} compile out,
and TKCOMMON_SRCS / USE_TK_STUBS are omitted from the link.
WASM build orchestration:
- toolchains/emscripten/build-tcl-wasm.sh builds libtcl9.x.a + libtclstub.a
+ tclConfig.sh out-of-source from a pristine intubun/tcl checkout.
- npm/build.sh grew a --variant=<tcl|notcl|both> flag and writes its
outputs into npm/tcl/ and npm/notcl/. It also clones intubun/tcl with
autocrlf=false at the SHA pinned by npm/tcl.ref.
- magic/Makefile (WASM block only): magicWasm.o is now compiled with
DFLAGS_NOSTUB so Tcl_CreateInterp resolves to libtcl9.x directly
before tclStubsPtr is set. magic.js link pulls in LIB_SPECS_NOSTUB
and -ltclstub. After rules.mak include, magic: is a phony alias for
magic.js so the generic ${MODULE} recipe doesn't fight it.
- toolchains/emscripten/defs.mak: add -sUSE_ZLIB=1 (libtcl9 references
zlib), replace -sSTACK_SIZE=N with -Wl,-z,stack-size=N (emcc >=5
rejects the setting form).
- magic/magicWasm.c bootstraps the embedded interp under MAGIC_WRAPPER
(Tcl_CreateInterp -> Tcl_Init -> Tclmagic_Init) and routes
run_command through Tcl_EvalEx.
- magic/magicTop.c: gate MagicVersion/Revision/CompileTime on
!MAGIC_WRAPPER so they don't collide with the copies in
tcltk/tclmagic.c when both objects land in the same wasm binary.
npm package:
- Subpath exports: ".", "./tcl", "./notcl". Default import keeps the
pre-existing non-TCL behaviour for backward compatibility.
- examples/smoke-tcl.mjs exercises the TCL variant.
CI:
- main-wasm.yml clones intubun/tcl at the pinned ref, builds both
variants via npm/build.sh --variant=both, runs the existing notcl
test suite and the new TCL smoke test, and publishes only on a
v<x.y.z>... git tag. Tag name (minus the leading v) becomes the
npm version.
