What's new in 4.1.x ?
|
597
|
197 |
|
|
198 |
A list of new features with links into the documentation
|
1085
|
199 |
is found via the Launchers "Help" -> "What's new in ST/X" menu item.
|
597
|
200 |
|
606
|
201 |
first of all:
|
597
|
202 |
finally a new licensing scheme;
|
|
203 |
Please read the files
|
|
204 |
TOP/README (the README tab)
|
|
205 |
which contains the additional license information.
|
|
206 |
Make sure you agree - or else please contact us.
|
|
207 |
|
|
208 |
Settings
|
|
209 |
you will find a preliminary version of the pluggable settingsApp
|
|
210 |
in the Launchers System-Menu, if you turn ON the
|
|
211 |
"Use the new SettingsDialog" flag in the "Launcher-Settings-Tools" dialog.
|
|
212 |
|
|
213 |
NewSystemBrowser
|
606
|
214 |
go to the "Launcher-Settings-Tools" dialog,
|
597
|
215 |
and turn ON the "Use the new SystemBrowser" flag.
|
|
216 |
(This takes a short time to load the browser,
|
|
217 |
so you may want to save an image after that, to avoid the delay in the future.)
|
|
218 |
Please have a look into the updated HTML Documentation.
|
|
219 |
|
|
220 |
cg: it is a good idea to also turn ON the
|
|
221 |
"new VersionDiff Browser" flag.
|
|
222 |
However, I dont like the new ChangesBrowser anymore ;-)
|
|
223 |
|
|
224 |
NewFileBrowser
|
|
225 |
MultiPane, Hierarchical Tree, File Properties,
|
|
226 |
mime-type controlled presentation and more...
|
606
|
227 |
go to the "Launcher-Settings-Tools" dialog,
|
597
|
228 |
and turn ON the "Use the new FileBrowser" flag.
|
|
229 |
|
|
230 |
|
|
231 |
ChangesBrowser
|
|
232 |
now has multi-select capability and a pull down menu.
|
|
233 |
if auto-compare is ON, diffs are shown immediately in the lower pane.
|
|
234 |
|
|
235 |
SUnit testing framework
|
|
236 |
see the Launchers "Tools" menu, or double click on any
|
|
237 |
class derived from TestCase in the NewSystemBrowser.
|
|
238 |
Last TestResults are remembered and indicated in the browsers class-icons.
|
|
239 |
|
|
240 |
Additional ported goodies:
|
|
241 |
|
|
242 |
Minnestore, an object data base
|
|
243 |
(status: runs almost testcases and I think it is almost usable; but who knows...)
|
|
244 |
|
|
245 |
SOAP
|
|
246 |
thanks to Steve Waring & Masashi Umezawa
|
|
247 |
|
|
248 |
XML-VW
|
|
249 |
thanks to Cincom; a portable XML parser
|
|
250 |
And then there were two of them ;-)
|
|
251 |
Some preliminary support to fileIn XML-source has also been added.
|
|
252 |
|
|
253 |
XML-YAXO
|
|
254 |
yet another XML parser.
|
|
255 |
|
|
256 |
SIF
|
|
257 |
the smalltalk interchange format
|
|
258 |
|
|
259 |
RefactoryBrowser
|
606
|
260 |
is available both in its original version
|
597
|
261 |
(see the RefactoryBrowser class)
|
|
262 |
and via the NewSystemBrowser (which uses the reafactorings,
|
|
263 |
but is not based on the refactoryBrowser other than that)
|
|
264 |
|
|
265 |
measurements
|
|
266 |
a units package (kelvin to fahrenheit at its best)
|
|
267 |
|
|
268 |
stMath
|
|
269 |
a math package (see the test cases)
|
|
270 |
|
|
271 |
|
|
272 |
quite a bunch of new widgets, widget improvements and bug fixes.
|
|
273 |
Many bug fixes in the compiler(s) and the VM.
|
|
274 |
|
|
275 |
For Windows Users:
|
|
276 |
winstx.exe (i.e. stx without a console window) now works again;
|
|
277 |
[although as a developer, I still prefer stx.exe ...)
|
|
278 |
|
|
279 |
stx.exe/winstx.exe can now be started multiple times under
|
606
|
280 |
W95/W98 (had a wrong linker flag in the nt.defs file, which
|
597
|
281 |
prevented the previous version from doing that).
|
|
282 |
|
|
283 |
stx for win can now be (re)compiled using the freeBorland tools
|
|
284 |
(and the free stx version actually is ...).
|
|
285 |
There is no longer a need to buy a compiler to add primitive
|
|
286 |
code to st/x.
|
|
287 |
Of course, if you stay on the smalltalk level, there is still no
|
|
288 |
need for any compiler at all - the built-in jitter does not
|
|
289 |
require a compiler.
