[Rails-devel] Releasing 1.6.1 this weekend?

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

All:
I plan to release 1.6.1. at the end of this weekend, as there are quite a few 
of Frederick changes are piling up.
So keep last-minute fixes and changes rolling in ...

My intention is to update the 2.0 branch with my current local repo this or 
next weekend latest. Lots of stuff changed, so I hope to present something 
soon that is worth of feedback.

A polished version of the grid panel (used by or panel and status
window) is now available in master.

This opens some options for the future regarding grid panel highlighting.

Note that the table borders (which I like a lot - but which could be
controversal to others) are configured to be disabled as default.

-----------
More details:
-----------

    Introduced highlighting and table borders for Status Win & ORPanel

    Instead of insets as parts of GridBag constraints, GridPanel now
    attaches dynamic borders to the fields.

    This has enabled the following:
    - GridPanel table borders are visualized without any effort - making
      the panels much nicer
    - GridPanel cells (fields,...) can now be highlighted by altering
      their dynamic borders
        - even inner borders (margins) used for the highlight outline box
        - design corresponds to the one used for displaying selected
          tiles in the hex map

    Introduced new option to enable/disable table borders in grid panels

    By default, borders are disabled (but highlighting is always enabled).

I'm getting two "undefined method" errors in MessagePanel, in lines that
read
            parentSlider.getParent().revalidate();

[Frederick W. <fre...@go...>]

Erik:
Could you please attach a save game for reproducing the issue?
I had thoroughly tested the scrollable message panel functionality
before pushing it about 10 days ago - but remaining bugs cannot be
excluded, of course.
(At least, I'm sure that it's not related to today's grid panel redesign.)

Apparently I wasn't clear: MessagePanel doesn't even compile.
 getParent() returns Container, but revalidate() is a method of JContainer.

[Frederick W. <fre...@go...>]

Erik:
That's very interesting. My Eclipse always compiled/run without any
issue but Container clearly does not have that method (even not in SE
6). So thanks for this finding.

Appropriate casts are now available in master.

Based on the commit diff, it looks like these are only configurable
via the config files. Is that correct?

If that's true, it might be good to think about surfacing some of
these display options into their own menu.

Re: [Rails-devel] Releasing 1.6.1 this weekend?

[Frederick W. <fre...@go...>]

Brett:
It's configurable in the configuration window (new tab "Appearance"
that also contains the route colors).

Re: [Rails-devel] Releasing 1.6.1 this weekend?

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

Thanks.  Yes, I started wondering if the Java version could play a role.
AFAIK, the Rails Java version is still 5.0 (at least mine is), although
perhaps we could consider upping it.

Re: [Rails-devel] Releasing 1.6.1 this weekend?

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Frederick:
made the same mistake before: Change Project Settings => Java Compiler => 
Compiler Compliance Level to 1.5 in Eclipse to avoid that in the future.

Erik:
From my point of view there is no reason to update as long to Java 6 or 7 if 
there is no technical reason to do so.

Re: [Rails-devel] Releasing 1.6.1 this weekend?

[Frederick W. <fre...@go...>]

Stefan:
My compiler compliance level is/was at 1.5. The revalidate issue is
surprising as any Java compiler (irrespective of the version) should
have been unable to run that.
