Release notes for fpGUI
=======================
v2.0 (unknown)
- Code breaking changes
* TfpgScrollStyle enums have changed names to make it more clear as to
what they do or mean.
ssHorizVisible, ssVertiVisible, ssBothVisible were deleted, and new
ssBoth, ssAutoHorizontal, ssAutoVertical types added.
* Widgets with 3D borders were cleaned up and refactored. Instead of them
descending directly from TfpgWidget, they now descend from TfpgBorderWidget.
So if you have custom written widgets, they might need some adjusting.
* AlienWindows branch got merged. This resulted in some code changes that
might need to be applied to your code:
- UpdateWindowPosition -> UpdatePosition
- HasHandle -> Window.HasHandle or use WindowAllocated
- WindowToScreen() -> WidgetToScreen()
- WinHandle -> Window.WinHandle
- WindowAttributes -> Window.WindowAttributes
* PDF reporting classes and identifier names got translated from French to
English. See commits ea74bd8c & 5afa5d44 for the bulk of it.
* Renamed TfpgRect.IsEmpty to TfpgRect.IsUnassigned. Added TfpgRect.Clear
* Removed OnDragEnter, OnDragLeave and OnDragDrop from TfpgWidget. Now a
property DropHandler is used that expects a TfpgDropHandler descendant.
TfpgDropEventHandler may be used as an object that accepts drop events.
* The FPGM_DROPENTER message has changed. Before the message type was
TfpgMsgParmMouse now it is TfpgMsgParmDrop. FPGM_DROPMOVE has replaced part
of the functionality FPGM_DROPENTER used to fulfill.

Jean-Marc Levecque for this awesome contribution.

* new properties accessible in the Object Inspector
* improved dialogs for "tab order" and "widget order" changes.
* code generated can now use spaces or tab characters for
indentation.
* improved File menu layout and new options.
- Improved themes support

- Extended the Unicode wrapper functions for the FPC's RTL file
handing
functions.

- Quite a few more minor bug fixes since v0.7-rc2.
- Some memory leaks in TfpgListView
- Added an example Debug Server in examples/apps/debugserver
- This can be used with FPC's dbugintf unit so you can send
debug messages. Handy for debugging CGI apps on your server.
- A new unit fpg_imgutils was added. It contains some handy
utility functions for images.
- Implemented disabled images support for all controls that can
display images.

button and not the available buttons in the dialog. Developer
can define behaviour of X close button.
- Improved TabSheet handling in UI Designer.
- Various improvements to TfpgPageControl and TfpgTabSheet. This
includes new tab positions: Bottom, Left, Right and None.

- FPC 2.4.0 compatible.
- Fully tested on 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. Tested on Linux,
Windows and the *BSD family.
- Mobile device support is back. Tested on ARM Linux and Windows
Mobile devices.
- fpGUI UI Designer has improved a lot and extended it's component
palette and Object Inspector.
- Various bug fixes, memory leaks and other enhancements have been
applied.
- Units have a more uniform naming style.
- Classes have a more uniform structure/hierarchy with base classes.
- Help support has been added to the core framework
- fpGUI now has it's own help file viewer called DocView.
Docview includes the following features:
- document annotation
- bookmarks
- browse history
- exporting articles to plain text or IPF format.
- full text search (including weighting of results to see how
relevant the results are)
- Font and Color customization
- Concatenation of help files at run-time so a library of help
files can be viewed simultaneously.
- Easy integration via the "external tools" feature of IDE's like
Lazarus or MSEide. This allows for context sensitive help.
- History of most recently viewed help files.
- Help file format used is the INF format (IBM's format used it
OS/2), which is very compact, incredibly fast and supports full
text search.
- A lot of new components have been added, including enhancements
to existing components.
- Various new dialogs have been added, which include Color Wheel,
Character Map, Database Login etc.
- Improved integration with tiOPF project via the Model-GUI-Mediator
design pattern.
- Graphical FPCUnit unit test runner.
- Lots of new language translations for the core fpGUI library.
- A lot of new example projects demoing various GUI components.
v0.6 (2008-02-17) revision 534
- Added a new INI Utils unit which introduces ReadOnly ini support
- Implemented the Model-GUI-Meditor design pattern so fpGUI can be
used with tiOPF's object persistent framework. This allows any
fpGUI component to become object-aware. I find this a better
alternative to DB-aware components.
- Many improvements to the GUI Designer. New property editors, new
components, better mouse support, MRU menu etc.
- 64-bit support is now added
- Newly supported platforms: FreeBSD and DesktopBSD
- Unicode text input is now supported under Windows.
- Started implementing Message Dialogs (with multiple buttons, icons etc).
- New components:
* Calendar combobox
* Gauges (pie, bar, needle, etc.)
* DB Label example component.
- Better support for newer desktop environments under Linux.
- Anti-aliased line drawing support.
- Line styles (dot, solid, dash...) are now fully supported on all platforms.
- Implemented the Command design pattern interface. Something like
Delphi's TAction component.
- Fixed many memory leaks in CoreLib units.
- New examples/demos added: Splash Screen, Command Handler, Gauges,
Anti-aliased line drawing etc..
- Started working on Message Dialogs.
- Better clipboard support.
- Including MANY more improvements and bug fixes. There are to
many to list. For a detailed listing of the changes use the svn command
line client as follows: svn log -r 367:534
v0.5 (2007-09-13)
- The first release since the rewrite of fpGUI to use a 'windowed'
multi-handle implementation.
- Available components in this release:
* Button with image support
* Label
* Bevel (aka Panel)
* Radio Buttons
* Check Boxes
* Track Bar (aka Slider)
* Page Control (aka Tab Control)
* List Box
* Scrollbars
* Memo (partially implemented)
* Forms (Windows). Normal, Modal and Popup.
* Dialogs
o ShowMessage()
o Font Selection dialog
o File Open...
o File Save As...
* Text Edit
* Combo Box (aka Choice List)
* Grids (aka Tables)
o Base Grid
o Custom Grid
o Draw Grid
o String Grid
o File Grid
* Progress Bar
* List View
* Main Menu bar and Popup Menus
* Treeview
- Align and Anchor support has been added.
- Clipboard support (application wide). Global (OS based)
is in the works.
- All painting is done via double buffering, so drawing flicker
is a thing of the past.
- Better font support. We now have support for Font Aliases. We
can define a font style (font name, size and attributes) and
give it a text name. Whenever we want to use that font style,
we can reference it by the text name.
- All colors are now defined in RGB order, no matter what platform
we use.
- Modal form support (with some minor issues under Windows that
should be fixed soon).
- Widgets and Forms now have a single consistent constructor due
to the base window class that descends from TComponent.
- Delayed resource allocation. This is very handy under Linux where
the X Server can be in a remote location (not on the same computer).
This gives a performance bonus as we need to communicate less with
the X Server which is inherently slow.
- Supports a Model-GUI-Mediator (MGM) implementation to work with
the tiOPF Object Persistent Framework. Business Objects can now
be saved in a OO fashion. The MGM implementation also makes the
standard fpGUI components Object-Aware. No need for DB Components.
- fpGUI now has a Visual Form (GUI) Designer in the example/apps
directory. Developers can now create forms visually at a much
faster rate. The designer uses the same source file that contains
your code - generating the ui code like you would have done
manually. No external ui files like Lazarus (*.lfm) or Delphi
(*.dfm). See the readme file in the project directory for more
details.
v0.4
- The last version of fpGUI using a single handle (windowless)
design.
