|
33 |
A list of new features with links into the documentation

|
463
|
35 |
|
|
36 |
first of all:
|
|
37 |
finally a new licensing scheme;
|
|
38 |
Please read the files
|
515
|
39 |
TOP/README (the README tab)
|
463
|
40 |
which contains the additional license information.
|
|
41 |
Make sure you agree - or else please contact us.
|
|
42 |
|
526
|
43 |
Settings
|
|
44 |
you will find a preliminary version of the pluggable settingsApp
|
|
45 |
in the Launchers System-Menu, if you turn ON the
|
|
46 |
"Use the new SettingsDialog" flag in the "Launcher-Settings-Tools" dialog.
|
|
47 |
|
463
|
48 |
NewSystemBrowser
|
524
|
49 |
go to the "Launcher-Settings-Tools" dialog,
|
|
50 |
and turn ON the "Use the new SystemBrowser" flag.
|
|
51 |
(This takes a short time to load the browser,
|
|
52 |
so you may want to save an image after that, to avoid the delay in the future.)
|
|
53 |
Please have a look into the updated HTML Documentation.
|
463
|
54 |
|
524
|
55 |
cg: it is a good idea to also turn ON the
|
463
|
56 |
"new VersionDiff Browser" flag.
|
524
|
57 |
However, I dont like the new ChangesBrowser anymore ;-)
|
463
|
58 |
|
519
|
59 |
NewFileBrowser
|
|
60 |
MultiPane, Hierarchical Tree, File Properties,
|
|
61 |
mime-type controlled presentation and more...
|
524
|
62 |
go to the "Launcher-Settings-Tools" dialog,
|
|
63 |
and turn ON the "Use the new FileBrowser" flag.
|
519
|
64 |
|
463
|
65 |
|
|
66 |
ChangesBrowser
|
|
67 |
now has multi-select capability and a pull down menu.
|
524
|
68 |
if auto-compare is ON, diffs are shown immediately in the lower pane.
|
463
|
69 |
|
|
70 |
SUnit testing framework
|
|
71 |
see the Launchers "Tools" menu, or double click on any
|
|
72 |
class derived from TestCase in the NewSystemBrowser.
|
524
|
73 |
Last TestResults are remembered and indicated in the browsers class-icons.
|
463
|
74 |
|
524
|
75 |
Additional ported goodies:
|
463
|
76 |
|
|
77 |
Minnestore, an object data base
|
524
|
78 |
(status: runs almost testcases and I think it is almost usable; but who knows...)
|
|
79 |
|
|
80 |
SOAP
|
|
81 |
thanks to Steve Waring
|
463
|
82 |
|
|
83 |
XML-VW
|
|
84 |
thanks to Cincom; a portable XML parser
|
|
85 |
And then there were two of them ;-)
|
|
86 |
Some preliminary support to fileIn XML-source has also been added.
|
|
87 |
|
524
|
88 |
XML-YAXO
|
|
89 |
yet another XML parser.
|
|
90 |
|
463
|
91 |
SIF
|
|
92 |
the smalltalk interchange format
|
|
93 |
|
|
94 |
RefactoryBrowser
|
|
95 |
is available both in its original version
|
|
96 |
(see the RefactoryBrowser class)
|
524
|
97 |
and via the NewSystemBrowser (which uses the reafactorings,
|
463
|
98 |
but is not based on the refactoryBrowser other than that)
|
|
99 |
|
|
100 |
measurements
|
|
101 |
a units package (kelvin to fahrenheit at its best)
|
|
102 |
|
|
103 |
stMath
|
|
104 |
a math package (see the test cases)
|
|
105 |
|
|
106 |
|
|
107 |
quite a bunch of new widgets, widget improvements and bug fixes.
|
|
108 |
Many bug fixes in the compiler(s) and the VM.
|
|
109 |
|
|
110 |
For Windows Users:
|
|
111 |
winstx.exe (i.e. stx without a console window) now works again;
|
|
112 |
[although as a developer, I still prefer stx.exe ...)
|
|
113 |
|
|
114 |
stx.exe/winstx.exe can now be started multiple times under
|
|
115 |
W95/W98 (had a wrong linker flag in the nt.defs file, which
|
|
116 |
prevented the previous version from doing that).
|
|
117 |
|
|
118 |
stx for win can now be (re)compiled using the freeBorland tools
|
|
119 |
(and the free stx version actually is ...).
|
|
120 |
There is no longer a need to buy a compiler to add primitive
|
|
121 |
code to st/x.
|
|
122 |
Of course, if you stay on the smalltalk level, there is still no
|
|
123 |
need for any compiler at all - the built-in jitter does not
|
|
124 |
require a compiler.
