[Foxgui-announce] FOX Development 1.7.57

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

A new update ((yes, it was too long!) has been dropped; a short list of the updates:

    Use _InterlockedExchange() in FXSpinLock instead of non-inlined version.

    Emulation code added for atomicBoolDCas(() if no built-in version available.

    Some bug fixes in FXXML parser.

    Check for decode error in XML parser.

    Encode non-ascii string in FXURL.

    Return original user-data pointer in addTimeout() and addDeadline(), addChore(), and removeChore(). This allows one to delete 
    user-objects that may be referenced by those callbacks.

    Added non-wrap mode as output format in reswrap.

    Split off OpenGL objects from FOX library placed into separate glviewer subdirectory.

    Use nanosecond-accurate stat() output, if available, in FXStat.

    In FXText and FXTextField, can now use wide-character delimiters.

    Only escape left and right quotes in FXString escape() if non-zero.

    Fixed a problem in FXSpinner and FXRealSpinner.

    Factory function on abstract classes (FXIMPLEMENT_ABSTRACT) now yields NULL object instead of cratering program.

    FXApp runWhileEvents(() blocks for just a little bit, allowing for roundtrip in case last commands caused events.

    Removed FXFile::rename() and FXDir::rename() in favor of FXFile::move().

    Some improvements to PathFinder file manager.

    Disallow assignment to FXObjectListOf and FXPtrListOf from rvalues not type-compatible with lvalue.

    Added peek() API to FXPtrQueue.

    Namespace prefix needed in FXIMPLEMENT_ABSTRACT macro.

    In FXDirVisitor, check both file index (inode number) and volume id, as file indexes may be same on different volumes.

    In FXDirVisitor, drastically reduce number of system-calls by passing FXStat results when recursing.

    Fixes to selection-tracking variables in PathFinder.

    Improvements in fxscanf.cpp scanning digit groupings; not perfect yet however.

    Added API in FXDirVisitor to allow access to FXStat result while in callback; this can further reduce system calls.

    Some corner cases in FXPath::absolute() fixed.

    Bug fixes in FXFile::copy().

    Updates to Adie.stx default language syntax file.

    Compiler warning fixes.


Enjoy!
