This file contains the version history for Triton (including
triton.library, the Triton Preferences editor, etc.). The most recent
changes are listed at the bottom. The changes for user-relevant parts and
changes which are only important for Triton programmers are listed
separately.
*****************************************************************************
RELEASE 1.0 (Library version 1.138)
Initial release.
*****************************************************************************
RELEASE 1.1 (Library version 2.52)
Changes for Triton users and developers:
========================================
Preferences editor added.
Triton is now localized for OS2.1+. German and swedish catalogs are
included.
Bug fixed: TR_EasyRequest() mis-aligned gadgets in requesters with more
than one gadget.
Bug fixed: Pressing down a button and then disabling it caused the
disabled button to stay pressed down.
Bug fixed: Text in selected gadgets is now using the correct color.
Some new Triton demos added.
Changes for Triton developers only:
===================================
Image class added.
The C support code is now compatible with SAS/C, DICE and gcc.
Linker libraries for gcc added.
AmigaOberon support added.
Minimum AmigaE and Assembler support added.
The shared library triton.library is now single-based. You may use it
from within other libraries and resident code and even patch
triton.library functions with SetFunction(). Other benefits include
smaller code size, less run-time memory requirements and faster
startup of triton.library.
Screen locking functions added.
Bug fixed: Added TR_Message.trm_App to avoid dereferencing already
freed TR_Message.trm_Project fields in order to get the TR_App of
a message.
Bug fixed: Now TREZ_Return also works for ID 0.
Bug fixed: class_Scroller and class_Slider objects had problems with
filled backgrounds.
Now all class_Listview objects report double clicks.
It is now possible to put independant lines/columns into arrays. These
lines/columns will not be aligned like all other array elements. This
is especially useful for separator bars in arrays. See Triton demo
(window 'Groups') for an example.
TRCY_MX added. Cycle gadgets may now as an alternative be displayed as
mutually exclusive gadgets.
Object backfill inheriting added.
Named class_FrameBox objects added.
Texts created with class_Text may now be right-aligned.
It is now possible to avoid ugly gaps below listview objects. Instead
the gap will move to the end of the vertical group in which the
listview gadget is embedded. The listview creation macros in the C
includes for Triton have been changed to behave that way as default.
Bug fixed: class_Listview had problems with backfill patterns under
OS versions < 39 (OS3.0).
Bug fixed: In OS versions < 39 setting a new list in a listview caused
GadTools not to select any item of the list even though it was a
ListSS gadget which should *always* have a selected item. Now the
last selected item of the old list becomes selected in the new list
when you change the list entries (as in OS3.0+).
Bug fixed: All texts in TR_EasyRequest() now have TRTX_NOUNDERSCORE set.
Help support added.
Obsolete TR_AddClass() prototype removed.
Bug fixed: Changing the string in a string gadget didn't work.
Enhancement: When the TRAT_Disabled flag of an object is reset to its
current state, no refresh will be done.
Bug fixed: After attaching a list to an empty ListSS gadget, there was
no selected entry. In this case the last selected entry will now
become selected again after attaching a new list.
TR_OpenTriton() allows to set the screen title.
Both window and screen title can be modified after opening the window.
Bug fixed: Objects in framing boxes were not disposed of correctly.
*****************************************************************************
RELEASE 1.2 (Library version 3.59)
Changes for Triton users and developers:
========================================
Buttons with a <Return> shortcut can now be displayed with a
NeXT-style <Return> arrow image instead of bold text.
Smart/Simple refresh is now to be chosen by the user and not the
application programmer. Therefore TRWF_SIMPLEREFRESH is obsolete.
In addition to the 'Pens' page in the Preferences editor, an 'Images'
page has been added.
Documentation rewritten in Texinfo.
Bug fixed: The Preferences editor didn't save the screen manager
prefs when installing the preferences system from scratch.
Bug fixed: After resizing a window, the contents of string gadgets
were lost.
Distribution archive restructured. Now 2 archives are distributed,
one for both, developers and users and one for developers only.
Frameboxes didn't inherit their parents' backfill pattern.
Bug fixed: The support for fixed-width fonts in Listview gadgets was
broken in Triton 1.1.
Font fallback bugs (refreshing of GadTools objects) fixed.
Triton is now SysIHack compatible.
Vertical scrollers and sliders are now a bit wider.
Changes for Triton developers only:
===================================
Bug fixed: GadTools objects did not get refreshed correctly in
'simple refresh' mode.
The internal OOP system has been totally rewritten. It does now
support inheritance (and some other nice features) which makes the
Triton classes more powerful yet smaller.
Support for Modula-2 (M2Amiga) added.
Full AmigaE support added.
Full assembler support added.
Window locking mechanisms added.
Non-pointer 'NULL's in the C include files replaced by '0L's.
Bug fixed: The gcc (b)libtriton.a contained quite a lot of unnecessary
and obsolete data. (B)libtriton.a is *much* smaller now.
Developer tutorial added.
Window obtaining functions added.
When compiling with gcc, inline library function calls will be used
when you optimize. Preprocessor symbol __INLINE__ removed.
When compiled with SAS/C or gcc, the Demo applications do now prevent
the runtime system from handling CTRL-C breaks.
The C header file <proto/triton.h> is now compatible to gcc.
*****************************************************************************
RELEASE 1.3 (Library version 4.39)
Changes for Triton users and developers:
========================================
Added QuickHelp.
Application infos are only saved permanently to envarc: if the
application has got its own preferences settings.
Recompiled Triton with SAS/C 6.55
Palette gadgets will not expand any more beyond 3 bitplanes (8 colors).
This should fix problems with too big windows on screens with many
colors.
Added French catalogs.
Fixed bug: All windows popped up on the default public screen when the
preferences system was not installed.
Changes for Triton developers only:
===================================
Added 'Invisible' mode (TRST_INVISIBLE) to class_String for password
gadgets with invisible typing.
Added TR_SendMessage().
Added text clipping for resizable texts.
The C headers are now compatible with Objective C.
Added BlitzBasic support
TR_GetErrorString() doesn't return NULL anymore.
Added support for TRAT_ID in class_Group.
Added TRMS_DISKINSERTED and TRMS_DISKREMOVED (see TRWF_SYSTEMACTION).
You may now use shortcuts in FrameBox titles.
The stubs for TR_SetAttribute(), TR_GetAttribute(), TR_LockProject()
and TR_UnlockProject() were not compiled into the gcc support
libraries in previous releases. This is fixed now.
Added TRST_NORETURNBROADCAST (class_String flag).
Fixed bug: Slider gadgets could not be disabled/enabled.
Fixed bug: Scrolling was possible in empty listviews.
Fixed bug: After putting a new list into a listview, the currently
selected item could be beyond the limits of the new (smaller) list.
This is fixed now. In that case, the last item will be selected.
Fixed bug: When changing TRAT_Disabled of menus with TR_SetAttribute(),
TRUE and FALSE were swapped, causing excatly the opposite effect.
Fixed bug: The 'disabled' status of cycle, listview and palette gadgets
could not be changed with TR_SetAttribute(). This is fixed now.
