[Uncleunc-developers] release 0.25.4 and first javabean

[<da...@cr...>]

Hi all,

A new release of Uncle Unc has gone up last night. New features include:

- added low level interfaces for searching and sorting containers, yet to deliver concrete implementations (sorting can be done by the Sirius GUI, but that's something I've inherited from the dog.gui code, which I'll need to move down into the object tree at some point  
- some fixes and extensions to dog.gui to provide better interoperation with Swing - Unc components can now be hosted inside a Swing GUI without any issues
- filtering interfaces moved into the utilities package, in order to alloe filtering of objects other than ulu.view.Item
- About box restored
- the main item list can now toggle between a column view and a simple list view (with bigger icons, for those who like their eye-candy)

I've also packaged up the first javabean to be spun off Uncle Unc, called the ObjectBrowser - an instant GUI generator for any java object. See more at http://www.sunwheeltech.co.uk/beans/

If you want torun the example app, its in the com.sunwheeltech.examples.boidbox section, should run out of the box from the source download as

java com.sunwheeltech.examples.boidbox.BoidBox src/com/sunwheeltech/examples/boidbox/startup.py


Happy coding,

Dave
