Author [ANNOUNCE] Tk-JComboBox 1.03

There is a new version of JComboBox that should be available within CPAN
soon if not already .

This new version contains a fix to bug submitted a few days ago that
impacts the -autofind functionality. autofind is used to highlight
(select) entries within the Listbox that correspond to key presses. If
an entry was not visible within the Listbox, then the List should have
been adjusted automatically so that it would be. This was the intended
behavior, but I accidentally forgot it in the version 1.0 fix. Thanks
to Ken Prows for reporting the bug.

From the Changes file and README:

1.03 Bug Fix - Bug Submitted by Ken Prows - 01 Mar 05

- Bug (cpan#11707) Fixed: AutoFind was not using listbox->see
to ensure that an entry in the listbox would be visible
when it was selected through AutoFind.
- Added 16 Tests in Test suite to test for bug (06_Bugs.t)
- Fixed AutoFind sub in JComboBox.pm

- Scanned and updated pods for mods due to release

I've run the updated test suite on a variety of platforms and all seems
fine so far

Minor issues I've just become aware of:
(Neither of these issues affect JComboBox use)

- Tk::JComboBox::tutorial contains two images that are part of the
tutorial however I note that they are excluded from the docs generated
by ActiveState -- the generated html seems to refer to the images
correctly, but the images are not present. I'm not sure what I should do
to fix this.

- Apparently pod parser has some problem with distro, but I don't have
details. I saw it reported in some stats page and am looking into it.

- I noticed that ActiveState reports that the latest version fails their
testing, however many of the Unix tests seem suspect since they are
XServer problems that I've observed for nearly every other widget. and
the Windows test failures have me puzzled since it seems to work fine in
my tests on XP and Win2000.
