[glam-devel] Need for detailed log of changes

[Chetan D. <che...@as...>]

Dear All,

As requested in the last mail, I really need the detailed information / 
log-file about changes, fixes and additions, whenever
a new glam/glamrock/sugar/glmath version is released. Today, I wasted my 
half day, because I did not have this
information. I had to search through the source code, try different 
things, to find out about these things:

1)Change:
 
I am using classes MvNavigator and MvMarker derived from, GmPanel (in 
turn from GmContentPane). The derived classes make
use of depth and z values. Earlier, GmContentPane did not have a default 
layout manager, so the 3D stuff worked fine.
In the new release a 2D layout manager gets added by default, which 
shuts off depth/z value information. If I knew
this particular change, I would not have wasted so much time.

Also. since this change is going to remain in future versions, I have to 
either do a wierd thing (deleting the 2d layout
manager soon after it gets created by default) or creating a class 
'like' GmPanel, duplicating much of the code.


2)Bug:

In GmPanel::render2dSelect(GmTypes::RenderOptionType renderOptions), 
 GmPanel's name is not pushed on
the name stack, so even if a GmPanel is picked, its name is absent from 
the namestack and it can not be sent an event.
