|
79 |
|
|
80 |
Whats new in 4.1.x ?
|
|
81 |
|

A list of new features with links into the documentation

|
|
84 |
|
606
|
85 |
first of all:
|
597
|
86 |
finally a new licensing scheme;
|
|
87 |
Please read the files
|
|
88 |
TOP/README (the README tab)
|
|
89 |
which contains the additional license information.
|
|
90 |
Make sure you agree - or else please contact us.
|
|
91 |
|
|
92 |
Settings
|
|
93 |
you will find a preliminary version of the pluggable settingsApp
|
|
94 |
in the Launchers System-Menu, if you turn ON the
|
|
95 |
"Use the new SettingsDialog" flag in the "Launcher-Settings-Tools" dialog.
|
|
96 |
|
|
97 |
NewSystemBrowser
|
606
|
98 |
go to the "Launcher-Settings-Tools" dialog,
|
597
|
99 |
and turn ON the "Use the new SystemBrowser" flag.
|
|
100 |
(This takes a short time to load the browser,
|
|
101 |
so you may want to save an image after that, to avoid the delay in the future.)
|
|
102 |
Please have a look into the updated HTML Documentation.
|
|
103 |
|
|
104 |
cg: it is a good idea to also turn ON the
|
|
105 |
"new VersionDiff Browser" flag.
|
|
106 |
However, I dont like the new ChangesBrowser anymore ;-)
|
|
107 |
|
|
108 |
NewFileBrowser
|
|
109 |
MultiPane, Hierarchical Tree, File Properties,
|
|
110 |
mime-type controlled presentation and more...
|
606
|
111 |
go to the "Launcher-Settings-Tools" dialog,
|
597
|
112 |
and turn ON the "Use the new FileBrowser" flag.
|
|
113 |
|
|
114 |
|
|
115 |
ChangesBrowser
|
|
116 |
now has multi-select capability and a pull down menu.
|
|
117 |
if auto-compare is ON, diffs are shown immediately in the lower pane.
|
|
118 |
|
|
119 |
SUnit testing framework
|
|
120 |
see the Launchers "Tools" menu, or double click on any
|
|
121 |
class derived from TestCase in the NewSystemBrowser.
|
|
122 |
Last TestResults are remembered and indicated in the browsers class-icons.
|
|
123 |
|
|
124 |
Additional ported goodies:
|
|
125 |
|
|
126 |
Minnestore, an object data base
|
|
127 |
(status: runs almost testcases and I think it is almost usable; but who knows...)
|
|
128 |
|
|
129 |
SOAP
|
|
130 |
thanks to Steve Waring & Masashi Umezawa
|
|
131 |
|
|
132 |
XML-VW
|
|
133 |
thanks to Cincom; a portable XML parser
|
|
134 |
And then there were two of them ;-)
|
|
135 |
Some preliminary support to fileIn XML-source has also been added.
|
|
136 |
|
|
137 |
XML-YAXO
|
|
138 |
yet another XML parser.
|
|
139 |
|
|
140 |
SIF
|
|
141 |
the smalltalk interchange format
|
|
142 |
|
|
143 |
RefactoryBrowser
|
606
|
144 |
is available both in its original version
|
597
|
145 |
(see the RefactoryBrowser class)
|
|
146 |
and via the NewSystemBrowser (which uses the reafactorings,
|
|
147 |
but is not based on the refactoryBrowser other than that)
|
|
148 |
|
|
149 |
measurements
|
|
150 |
a units package (kelvin to fahrenheit at its best)
|
|
151 |
|
|
152 |
stMath
|
|
153 |
a math package (see the test cases)
|
|
154 |
|
|
155 |
|
|
156 |
quite a bunch of new widgets, widget improvements and bug fixes.
|
|
157 |
Many bug fixes in the compiler(s) and the VM.
|
|
158 |
|
|
159 |
For Windows Users:
|
|
160 |
winstx.exe (i.e. stx without a console window) now works again;
|
|
161 |
[although as a developer, I still prefer stx.exe ...)
|
|
162 |
|
|
163 |
stx.exe/winstx.exe can now be started multiple times under
|
606
|
164 |
W95/W98 (had a wrong linker flag in the nt.defs file, which
|
597
|
165 |
prevented the previous version from doing that).
|
|
166 |
|
|
167 |
stx for win can now be (re)compiled using the freeBorland tools
|
|
168 |
(and the free stx version actually is ...).
|
|
169 |
There is no longer a need to buy a compiler to add primitive
|
|
170 |
code to st/x.
|
|
171 |
Of course, if you stay on the smalltalk level, there is still no
|
|
172 |
need for any compiler at all - the built-in jitter does not
|
|
173 |
require a compiler.
|
|
174 |
|
|
175 |
|
|
176 |
|
|
177 |
