Hi Jens, The link failed with "URL Not Found". Possibly because I was redirected to; http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/nongnu//xforms/xforms-1.0.94pre22.tar.gz I'll try later, Serge On 11/25/2013 04:44 PM, Jens Thoms

Hi everybody, here's the newest pre-release: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/xforms/xforms-1.0.94pre22.tar.gz (as usual there may be some delay before it appears on the mirror servers you normally get redirected to). This pre-release comes with a number of changes. First of all, following a proposal by Serge Bromow, for a lot of functions that send strings to XForms, like for example fl_set_object_label(FL_OBJECCT *obj, const char*label); there's now another version of the form fl_set_object_label_f(FL_OBJECCT *obj, const char*fmt, ...); These additonal functions all take a format string, exactly as it is used with the printf() family of functions from the C standard library, followed by an unspecified number of arhguments (as many as there are format specifiers in the format string). These func- tion use the format string and the following arguments to build the string, e.g. for a label. Since there's are at least 20 to 30 of such new functions, all named like the original functions, just with '_f' added to the end, I won't list them here. Please see the updated documentation to find out about them (e.g. by searching the function index for functions with names ending in '_f'). The other important difference concerns fdesign. As I already wrote some time ago I started to do a bit of clean-up to the handling of editing of object attributes, also trying to sim- plify the user interface a bit. I'm now done with it. The most visible change is that the "Accept", "Cancel" and "Restore" buttons aren't at the right side anymore but below the tab folders for editing the generic and object class specific attrinbutes (and the "Restore" button has been renamed to "Undo"). The "AutoApply" and "Apply" buttons are gone for good. The tabs for the generic and object class specific attributes are now treated equal - when you click on "Accept" or "Cancel" the form is closed immeditately (instead of switching back to the "Generic" tab when the "Spec" tab is shown). "Undo" works for all attributes at once etc. The default bitmap/pixmap (when no image has been set) shown on bitmap or pixmap objects and buttons are now the image you are used to see when an image link is broken in a web page. Because there was a lot of code I hade to change or rewrite and there's a huge number of possible code paths I would really like to ask you to test the new version of fdesign - it's rather unlikely that I managed to get everything right on the first try! So please, please give this a good shake- down. In order to finally get the 1.2 version shipped I have set myself a deadline: I intend to upload it on December 15. So there are still 3 weeks for further testing. Since I'm not employed at the moment there should be enough time for me to apply last-minute fixes. So please check if everything works for you and tell me as soon as possible should you find errors. Best regards, Jens |
