- added new shorten_path():
  - now fully implemented;
thought of tkRAD v1.5 new release name: maybe Sugar Extra?

$ 2014-03-17 RS $

in tkRAD.core.tools:
- added new choose_type(), new choose_if():
  - now fully implemented;
added new tkRAD.widgets.RADDialog class:
- now fully implemented;
- TESTED OK in dialogbox mode (transient, modal);
- TESTED OK in toolbox mode (transient, non-modal);

$ 2014-03-14 RS $

in RADXMLWidget:
- in _init_deferred_attributes():
  - now 'common' XML attrs start inits at first;
  - it's really better this way;
in RADXMLBase:
- added new is_xml():
  - now fully implemented;
in RADStatusBar:
- in toggle_var (setter): resync'ed along self._previous_value;
- added new self._previous_value for real diff checkups in toggle();
- added new _get_bit(), new show(), new hide():
  - now fully implemented;
- in notify(), info():
  - added update_idletasks() for better sync'ed text display;

$ 2014-03-13 RS $

in RADXMLWidgetBase:
- in _tkRAD_deferred_command_support():
  - enabled more powerful external keywords support;
  - now you may pass ANY additional keywords **kw you like in self._queue.flush("widget", **kw), NOT ONLY widget=created_widget;

$ 2014-03-12 RS $

tagged and released tkRAD v1.4.1 - Refer And Defer;
in RADXMLWidget:
- fixed v1.4 deferred _init_attributes() inconsistency:
  - now works as in tkRAD < v1.4:
    - self._init_attributes() is again for immediate attrs parsing;
    - self._init_deferred_attributes() is now for deferred attrs parsing;
    - self._init_attributes_flat() is kept for compatibility reasons with tkRAD v1.4;

$ 2014-03-11 RS $

in core/i18n.py:
- added new switch_on(), new switch_off():
  - now fully implemented;
  - ease up debugging sessions by switching i18n support ON/OFF on-the-fly;

Example:

import tkRAD

tkRAD.i18n.switch_off()

$ 2014-03-10 RS $

tagged and released tkRAD v1.4 - Tasmania Sunset.
in RADXMLWidget:
- added new _init_attributes_flat():
  - now fully implemented;
- updated code elsewhere;
updated RADXMLWidgetBase, RADXMLWidget, RADXMLFrame:
- now support self.slot_owner natively;
in RADWidgetBase:
- added new class member self.slot_owner for tkRAD.command.support;
- by now, it is possible to separate self.tk_owner from self.slot_owner: useful for e.g. RADXMLFrame;
- compatibility: by default self.slot_owner = self.tk_owner;
looking for new ideas before tagging v1.4...
all has been tested OK at this time;
in RADXMLWidget, RADXMLMenu: updated code anywhere needed OK;
in RADXMLWidgetBase:
- in _tkRAD_command_support and _tkRAD_deferred_command_support:
  - updated code OK;
in RADXMLBase: updated code OK;
in RADXMLBase, RADXMLWidgetBase, RADXMLWidget, RADXMLMenu:
- started implementing deferred tasks new concept;
not so simple to find the good naming convention(!);
in RADXMLBase:
- renamed self._dt_queue to simply self._queue;
triggers have been replaced by actions in comments;
DeferredTriggerQueue is inappropriate name: now renamed anywhere to DeferQueue as for deferred actions queue buffer;

$ 2014-03-09 RS $

in RADXMLBase:
- added new class member self._dt_queue: private instance of DeferredTriggerQueue;
- in xml_build(): added support for self._dt_queue;
added new tkRAD/core/defer.py:
- class name is now DeferredTriggerQueue;
- get app-wide DeferredTriggerQueue instance with get_deferred_trigger_queue() or with its shortcut name get_dt_queue();
- now fully implemented OK;
tkRAD v1.4 new idea: now implementing deferred triggers for XML attrs parsing;

in RADStatusBar:
- replaced TK.Label by ttk.Label for fancier look'n'feel;
in RADXMLWidget:
- in _set_widget_config():
  - now supports style profile for tkinter widgets default configuration;
- added new _parse_attr_apply():
  - now fully implemented;
  - XML attr of <ttkstyle apply="newName.oldName" .../>;
- added new _build_element_ttkstyle():
  - now implements ttk.Style().configure(_apply, **attrs);
- added new _parse_attr_style():
  - now fully implemented;
  - XML attr style now can either be style="style_id" for tkinter native widgets or be style="newName.oldName" for ttk widgets referring to a ttk.Style() definition or to a <ttkstyle> XML element def (which is the same, in fact);
- added new _build_element_style():
  - building def for <style.../> XML element;
  - now implements a TK_CONFIG default profile to be overridden by other XML attrs;
  - you can put here any Tkinter attrs as _set_widget_config() will filter attrs along widget's own configure() attrs;
  - common attrs can be applied to any native widget, when matching attrs are met;

$ 2014-02-24 RS $

IDEA: what about creating <tkstyle> profile with configure() options that any tkinter NATIVE widget could apply with XML attr style="tkstyle_id"?
studying future <ttkmap> XML element;
studying future <ttkstyle> XML element;
in RADCanvas:
- stripped out TK_ATTRS class main member: now USELESS;
- updated code in __init__() along with new constraints;

- rewritten _only_tk():
  - now widget MUST be init'ed before calling this method e.g.:
```
ttk.Frame.__init__(self, master)
self.configure(**self._only_tk(self.CONFIG))
```
  - no need more to use TK_ATTRS main member: getting tkinter attrs directly from self.configure().keys();
  - Caution: self.configure() needs self.tk: Tkinter widget must be init'ed before calling this;
