94
+ **2011-09-26**
95
+ ## 1.3.0
96
+
97
+ ### Moving to ffi-ncurses
98
+ Essentially code changes for ffi-ncurses. ncurses gem no longer supported
99
+ as it was painful to install. Required ffi-ncurses >= 0.4.0
100
+
101
+ Some bugfixes in demos and samples due to changes in 1.2.0, or ruby 1.9, which went
102
+ unnoticed.
103
+
104
+ ### Deprecations
105
+ Some classes being deprecated:
106
+ - SplitPane (use vimsplit instead)
107
+ - ScrollPane (no substitute) Code supporting scrollpane will be removed
108
+ by 1.3.1 or 1.3.2 and this will not work.
109
+
110
+ ### Tabbedpane
111
+ Not working correctly since moving to ffi-ncurses. Will be completely
112
+ rewritten by 1.3.2.
113
+
114
+ **2010-09-11**
115
+ ## 1.2.0
116
+
117
+ ### Additions
118
+
119
+ - App class that allows easy application development (like Shoes)
120
+ - MultiSplit class: Multicolumn widget (like SplitPane but allows many splits).
121
+ aka Column Browse pattern (like OSX Finder). See examples/testmultisplit.rb
122
+ - Added Progress Bar class
123
+
124
+ - Added methods to Menu (rmenu.rb), so easy creation through DSL. See
125
+ examples/menu1.rb
126
+
127
+ - Added VimSplit - can have multiple splits stacked and flowed
128
+ - Added Tree - tree control
129
+ - Added Scrollbar class
130
+ - Added Tabular - quick readonly tabular data generator that can be used with
131
+ listboxes or textviews.
132
+ - Added BasicList - a stripped down, readonly version of Listbox.
133
+ -
134
+
135
+ ### Changes
136
+
137
+ - Field class now passes InputDataEvent when firing event, not self.
138
+ Earlier, user trapping :CHANGE would not know what happened (delete,
139
+ insert, etc) and what char was added, deleted.
140
+ - List and ListData and ListSelection listener
141
+ Many changes, new methods, def list(), space bar selects,
142
+ List listens to selection changes, selectionEvent contains List as source
143
+ not ListSelectionModel.
144
+ - Widget checks event names before firing and binding to save time in wrong
145
+ events.
146
+ - Listbox, some refactoring of `repaint`. Added convert_value_to_text since
147
+ we subclass this a lot.
148
+ - Listcellrenderer: refactoring and changes, will break extending classes!!
149
+ - Combolist - popup on spacebar
150
+ - replaced to_print_borders with suppress_borders in list related classes
151
+
152
+ ### Bugfixes
153
+
154
+ - TextArea would crash if user entered long line with no space (line >
155
+ display length) - fixed
156
+
157
+ - Menu items will not show mnemonic highlighted, if disabled.
158
+ They will not fire if mnemonic key pressed, when disabled.
159
+
160
+ **2010-08-30 11:59**
161
+ ## 1.1.4
162
+
163
+ - Some missing files such as tableextended.rb and vieditable
164
+ These got missed out in the gemspec.
165
+ - Added slice! to listdatamodel
166
+ - Also see ruby 1.9.2 changes below
167
+
168
+ **2010-08-23 11:50**
169
+ ## ruby 1.9.2 related changes
170
+
171
+ Changes in 1.9.2 require the following changes:
172
+ - $: no longer includes ".".
173
+ Fixed 2 examples.
174
+ - hash_update: cannot update hash during iteration
175
+ Modified rwidget.rb and rtable.rb
176
+

178
+
179
+ **2010-05-19 00:00**
180
+ ## Table - added tableextended.rb for extended functions on tables
181
+
182
+ Currently, increase or decrease column width using numeric args.
183
+ You will have to bind the method to a key in your app.
184
+
185
+ **2010-05-13 00:00**
186
+ ## Table - adding vim keys for navigation
187
+
188
+ If table is not editable, then j k l h gg G etc may be used for navigation.
189
+
190
+ **2010-03-01 00:00**
191
+ ## Overhaul of tabbedpane
192
+
193
+ Simplified, and it more or less completely makes sense now.
194
+ A component may be added directly without creating a form
195
+ which allows the TP to set row, col, and height width.
196
+
197
+ At this moment, it no longer creates a form automatically, you have to call
198
+ tp.form(tab) to get a form associated with the tab. Check code for latest on
199
+ this. Or check samples: testtpane.rb and testtpane2.rb.
200
+
201
+ **2010-02-18 22:58**
202
+ ## RFED16 new simplified buffering
203
+
204
+ Major changes. Most widgets redone (buffer part).
205
+ Containers majorly done. Table and TabbedPane still pending.
206
+
207
+ **2009-11-03 23:30**
208
+ ## tabbedpanes ##
209
+
210
+ Now on first click of tabbed button, form is painted.
211
+ A form.repaint for the lower form was required.

216
+ ## some progress on tabbedpanes ##
217
+
218
+ Ugly hacking and I really haven't a clue what's happening
219
+ since there's internal forms working.
220
+ Anyhow, its now showing up, can see form cursor moving.
221
+ Does not show up immediately, have to press key several times for form to display.

227

228

229
+ Working on that now.

234
+ ## splitpane and scrollpane working ##
235
+
236
+ Both are working. Changes to copywin had caused issues. And printborder.
237
+ Decreasing comp width does not reduce pad size, but pad keeps printing larger size.
238
+ So in Splitpane it was overwriting. Now in Pad we maintain sheight as comp's height.
239
+ Major change in pad, but hope it works and doesn't bomb out somewhere.

295

296

297

332

333

334

335

336
+ ** 2009-02-16 22:10 **
337

351
+ ## Code to stop table from printing a column if exceeding bounds ##
352
+
353
+ Uploaded to github, will be included in 0.1.2.
354
+
355
+ EXPERIMENTAL CODE: Affects only tables. Now table will not print a column or header
356
+ if columns width causes it to exceed width of table.
357
+
358
+ This means if you have a single column which is wider than table
359
+ then it wont print. In Listboxes we always truncate data and pass to
360
+ renderer. We could do that here, but it could get messy.
361
+
362

363
+ **2009-02-12 **
364

408

409
+ One may either trap the CHANGED event of a component OR
410
+ a TABLE_EDITING_EVENT which gives us previous and new values, previous row and col.
411
+ This will fire for each cell exited, and on editing stopped (if a user presses ENTER after editing).
412
+
413
+ One example would be to set a date_modified if any column of a row changes.
414
+
415
+ Also am firing CHANGED from table for its cells.

584
+ ## firing property change and others ##
585
+
586
+ Some major changes (internal)
587
+
588
+ 1. In order not to repaint the entire form each time, we must only repaint a widget when modified.
589
+ However, as can be seen, widgets are being modified by other widgets. Thus whenever a property
590
+ is changed, we need a flag to be set that repainting is required.
591
+
592
+ Thus, copied dsl_accessor and made dsl_property. Whenever, such props are modified, a property
593
+ change is now fired, and repaint_required is set to true.
594
+ I am currently changing this. What this means is that on startup, fire_prop_change will be called
595
+ many times, and i need to avoid this on first time instantiation. TODO.
596
+
597
+ 2. The tricky part was text_variables. When there value changes any widget (such as label) auto
598
+ changes. When a text_variable is defined for field, internally that field, adds itself as a
599
+ dependent. When its value is changed, it fires a change to the dependent field.
600
+
601
+ 3. The real worrisome part was this:
602
+ When user passes in a hash in the constructor, i was directly setting variables, NOT calling
603
+ methods. Tracked this down. Now i am calling methods and not setting variables. See rwidget.rb
604
+ instance_variable_set (top). Only throrough testing will tell how much this change
605
+ will affect stuff. Maybe not.

619
+
620
+ 1. set_buffer updates datatype of data
621
+ 2. get_value reverts to original datatype (stored as a string since many methods
622
+ do check length etc
623
+
624
+ Widget binds_keys
625
+ Certain widgets like tables etc would like to bind_keys which could be used by other
626
+ widgets. Such as left and right keys or del key. So these should not be at the program
627
+ level, but only at widget level.

668
+ ## Variable modifications ##
669
+
670
+ Had to move to get_value and set_value so that Variable could support a hash or array without
671
+ anything else changing.
672
+ That means if a set of checkboxes and radio buttons are based on one Variable which is a Hash,
673
+ they will continue working as before, since they always pass t heir name as a second parm to set_value
674
+ (whch is used as a key, if Variable is a hash).
675
+ Earlier i was using value= but that does not allow 2 params.
676
+ In the case of a hash, even retrieving requires the widgt name as key.
677
+ So seeing how many params are coming in does not work. Thus moving from value() and value= to get and set value.
678
+
679
+ Currently, its there as RVariable. Will be moved to Variable in a day or so.

953

967
+ or widget and no display stuff.
968
+
969
+ 3. Button. surround_chars. change the sq brackets to soething else.

990

1337

1857

1858
+ Tab moves between fields in query form
1859
+ Tab in table moves back to query form.
1860
+ Enter in table runs query as b4, but now also moves focus to table

1886
+ But cannot get the line numbers correct.
1887
+ Also if I display line # on top, then cursor remains there.
1888
+ If i put the print statemnet at beg of loop, the line number is wonky.
1889
+ It is correct at end of loop, but then the cursor is stuck on top.

1912
+ especially if:
1913
+
1914
+ * fewer queries returned in second query
1915
+ * no queries returned in second query
1916
+
1917
+ Now cursor will always be in row one after a fresh query when you tab.
1918
+ Can't tab in if no rows.

1924

1925
+ this was returning one more (base 1) so some users were doing -1
1926
+ Some methods were getting wrong curr_item like the handle_? methods.
1927

1928
+ User cannot tab into table if no data.
1929

1930
+ Issue of wrong header count if no rows also fixed.
