LIST-VIEW 0.0.41 is out
20-May-2006 07:51 Filed in: LIST-VIEW
I skipped mentioning about 0.0.39 and 0.0.40 because
I considered them to be too unstable for general use.
But here is 0.0.41!
In short, there's been a lot of work done in the area of the new selection system and I think it's moving very well towards stability. The new selection system is awesomely flexible (perhaps too flexible?). A few other bugs regarding the new update method has been fixed as well.
I'm going to take a few days "off" to work on some commercial stuff which takes advantage of LIST-VIEW, while I think through some of the upcoming features. Which one will be implemented next? I don't know yet... but it's going to be a high priority feature.
There's also been a little bit of talk about porting LIST-VIEW to RebGUI. I hope this happens, but there is a need for studying how this should be done, because I know nothing about RebGUI at this stage. I hope this will be a simple matter of providing a build script that provides a few changes to LIST-VIEW. I expect to do a lot more work on LIST-VIEW and porting should take a minimum amount of time every time there is a new release of LIST-VIEW.

Tester Update
08-May-2006 02:13 Filed in: Tester
Tester has now become slightly more colorful and
supports stages.
Stages are a simple scheme for dividing your tests in specific colors. That's basically it, but for longer tests, it's very helpful to separate one process from another.

By entering a test entry, you can choose the
color for the entry.
This section is still a
little buggy, so when you call up the Test List
window, you need to click an entry before it shows as
colors.
Rows are also marked now when there is an
error.
I can't guarantee much stability right now and the docs are not updated yet, but I've uploaded the latest version to the Download area as tester002.r. The old version is there as tester001.r. Enjoy!
More ramblings

I'm afraid it will be a while before LIST-VIEW 0.0.39
comes out. The new select system is giving me a big
amount of issues with most functions in the list.
Two new select modes have been added so there are a total of 7 different select modes. Basically I haven't tested for anything but the original SINGLE-ROW select mode type yet, so there's a long way to go.
Many bugs have been squashed, but many still remain and I want some degree of stability before I can unleash it to avoid having your applications break.
