File Release Notes and Changelog
Release Name: jazilla-m2-rtm
Notes: *ATTN* This is it folks, M2 RTM. People shouldn't bother linking against anything in the Jazilla under org.jazilla, org.jxul or org.netbeans.netbrowser. The only classes that are 'safe' from major refactoring are org.jazilla.jzScriptImpl.*;. The rest are likely to be removed or rewritten duing M3 Alpha, Beta and RTM and beyond. Feel free to extend Jazilla in your own apps, but be prepared to rewrite your bindings later on. You might wish to read the renderer docs in docs/ ------------------------------------- Well, you bothered to RTFM :) (Turn Word Wrap on) Jazilla Milestone 2 Release Notes (and general why-you-should-not-use-jazilla-classic-propaganda) For whoever wants me to shut up: # java org/jxul/xulrunner/Main For whoever thinks they can't live without System.out.println: # java -Ddebug=true org/jxul/xulrunner/Main The Jazilla project aims to create a Mozilla-like browser written in Java. This release is not like the old releases which were more like Mozilla Classic/Netscape 4.x. The NG abbreviation denotes the fact that this is a NextGen release, one that has a GUI mostly written in eXtensible User Interface (XUL) which is scripted by using Mozilla.org's Rhino JavaScript engine, which is more like Mozilla. The Jazilla NG browser is based on work from the jXUL and NetBrowser projects. It also uses DOM libs from Xerces. jXUL was a project to intergrate the XUL markup into Java. It is located at http://jxul.sourceforge.net. Work hasn't been done on this project for a long time. NetBrowser is actually a descendant of Jazilla "Classic". It used the JRenderer found in Jazilla "Classic" release M2, and merged it with XBrowser. The Renderer is architecturally the same as the old JRendender. Old Jazilla developers should feel right at home. It ISN'T COMPLETE. But is quite good for a basic renderer. --------------------------- Licenses --- jXUL and anything not originating from NetBeans.org: Dual licensed under the MPL and Apache. Read MPL.txt.

M3 will end up being 'nsdogfood-'* - No BrowserContext in XulBrowser for the moment. - Jazilla has a useragent + navigator.(most gecko props) implemented. see chrome://jazilla/jzNavigator.html and about: * 25/7/2003 Mathew McBride <matt@mcbridematt.dhs.org> - I'm supposed to do a M2 Release, but I've done some heavy refactoring in the tag creation area to bring it closer to the XUL part. Oh well, thats what the milestone prefix is for. - Seperate js engine for html. * 13/7/2003 Mathew McBride <matt@mcbridematt.dhs.org> - Getting closer to M2 Beta. If you specify "span { text-decoration: bold; }" within a <style> tag, all span tags will be bold. * 8/7/2003 Mathew McBride <matt@mcbridematt.dhs.org> - !!!! JAZILLA SWITCHED TO XPFE !!!! Milestone 2 Beta probably in days - (earlier) - Fixed a bug in XulToolBar where <textfield>'s didn't get added to the peerMap - document.* b0rked when accessing a page with a <script>. - "toolbarbutton" mapped to "button". For XPFE. - OMFG!!! XPFE runs and displays pages!! - Fixed bug in DemoBrowser where if there wasn't a status bar label set, it would NullPointer over a <a>. - Fix for XPFE: XulMenuItem now accepts both label="" and value="" * 6/7/2003 Mathew McBride <matt@mcbridematt.dhs.org> - HTMLRenderer now runs as a seperate thread, document.* now turned on for HTML.

For a summary of features and bug fixes, read on. + New Features - JazillaUpdate v1.0 - Now you can start up this program and have it download a list of updates that have been submitted to Jazilla. These are distributed in JAR files and automatically extracted once the download is complete. Window->Check For Updates. See org.jazilla.updater.JazillaUpdate for more specific information. - ActivityLog - Using the code from JEdit, all messages to the console are logged. Use Window->Activity Log to view it.
