OK, folks, it's finally here. MiscKit 1.2.4. You can only get it from
ftp.et.byu.edu right now. This is because this version is a "beta"--
I will release a 1.2.5 to the general public either Saturday or on
Monday, but wanted to give the adventurous a chance to do some bits
of troubleshooting. I am aware of a few very minor changes that need
to be made; this is primarily in documentation, though, and for the
most part I don't expect any troubles with 1.2.4.
So, if you grab 1.2.4 and have any troubles, please let me know.
If I don't hear of any troubles from anyone before Saturday, I'll do the
general public release. (If you have a donation you want to get into
the kit by then, it is not too late; go ahead and send it in ASAP.)
Attached at the end of this message is a list of changes. Many of you will
be pleased to hear the the MiscSubprocess now seems to be working just fine.
And there's some great new objects and other surprises... :-)
Later,
-don
V1.2.4 In Progress MiscKit patch to fix dumb mistakes and add new toys:
Added Frame document format for generating NeXT-style docs in FrameMaker.
(Donated by J.B. Nicholson-Owens.)
Added MiscExplodingMenu class (donated by Andy Stone). Added support
for the class to MiscInfoController.
Added MiscINETAddress, MiscINETSocket, and MiscSocket classes (donated
by Chris Kane).
Added MiscCalendarView class (donated by Jon Kutemeier).
Added SwapKit tutorial first draft. Please send comments, edits,
and enhancements to Thomas Engel (tomi@shinto.nbg.sub.org) so that
he can improve the documentation.
Added MiscString methods: -hasType:, -isAllOfType:, -gets,
-fgets:keepNewline, -fgets:, -streamGets:keepNewline:,-streamGets:,
and -padToLength:withChar:. (From Carl Lindberg)
Bug fixes and enhancements to TreeView example app, MiscSerialPort,
MiscString, MiscStringArray, MiscSubprocess, many of the docs, etc.
Removed MiscFindPanel as a separate project and spread it throughout
the kit, which simplifies things greatly and removes a lot of links.
Fixed the Makefiles, etc, that were broken in 1.2.3. (What a headache!)
