[Foxgui-users]FOX 1.1.26 Development version released...

[jeroen <je...@fo...>]

April 29, 2003 - New drop: DEVELOPMENT FOX 1.1.26

Stuff in this development snapshot.

    * Changed addTimeout() to replace the old timer, if it exists, with the new 
      timeout value. This simplifies code as you can simply set the timer and 
      if it was set already it now gets reset to the new interval.

    * Changed addChore() of course to do the same; it re-appends the chore at the 
      end of the list, basically postponing it until after the outstanding 
      chores have been performed.

    * Fixed forgotten header file include in FXApp for WIN32 build.

    * Replaced hard-coded "0" with DefaultScreen(display) in FXVisual; this 
      caused problems on X11-based systems having more than 1 screens.

    * Removed private GetDC() and ReleaseDC() API's (WIN32 only).

    * Fixed FXDCWindow problems:- surface->id() shoule now be treated correctly 
      everywhere based on type of surface.

    * Added support for thread-safe build (using POSIX thread-safe functions like 
      readdir_r()). Enabled by passing -DFOX_THREAD_SAFE=1 on the command line. 
      Using the thread-safe library calls ensures that the GUI thread never interferes 
      with the worker threads if the worker threads are making certain kinds of library 
      calls (of course, you might want to ensure the worker threads also call the 
      thread-safe API's so that they won't interfere with each other!).
      NOTE: this feature is not supported on SGI IRIX 6.x!

    * Replaced virtual getText() functions in FXListItem (and other list widgets) 
      by non-virtuals which yield const FXString&, this eliminates a lot of string 
      copying. Returning const FXString& is safe as FXListItem's API's are chiefly 
      for FXList and its subclasses to use and not usually directly used by 
      application programs.

    * Expunged deprecated fxgetusername(), fxgetgroupname(), and fxgetpermissions() 
      API's from fxdefs.h. Use the safer equivalent functions from FXFile instead.

    * Removed deprecated setPatternList(const FXchar **ptrns) from FXFileDialog and 
      FXFileSelector. The new function is easier to use and harder to abuse.

    * Fixed FXText widget:- get selection from clipboard returns value of len larger 
      than actual text length; now we're just scanning till the end of string to 
      determine the real length.
	


Enjoy!
